Welcome Back!!!
Published in 2012
You'll notice a few changes that took place over the summer for the Sustainability Office. For one, we are temporarily located in the H2O room in the Upper Hobson Union until the remodeling of the Lower Hobson Union is complete (we are hoping for mid-October). Unfortunately, this means the FreeStore is in storage for the time being. We are already planning for a GRAND OPENING, though, so stay tuned!

Israel Defense Force soldiers and Palestinians clashed on Friday throughout the West Bank, days before planned demonstrations to commemorate the Nakba.
Mild clashes between the IDF and Palestinians erupted in Jerusalem on Friday morning, in Silwan, Isawiya and in the Old City. Israel police forces have arrested 11 protesters.
However, Palestinian officials have reported one wounded from live fire in Ras al-Amud, an East Jerusalem neighborhood and several others have been reported wounded by rubber bullets and tear gas, mainly in Silwan.

Of course, investors want to buy stocks that are expected to rise, sometimes several times, which generates fee income that (hopefully) more than offsets the brokerage's cost of providing that research.

Super Saturday Showed Us What's Great About Britain
The organisers of the London 2012 games had promised August 4 would be a 'Super Saturday', but it turned out to be much better than that. With an outstanding six gold medals won by Team GB, 'Olympomania' swept the nation.
During the day we cheered the success of Britain's rowing and cycling teams. As evening fell, all eyes were on Jessica Ennis, the face of the London 2012 Games. Fortunately, she delivered, winning the Heptathlon with that unbeatable smile.
Greg Rutherford, an unexpected hero, leapt into the public consciousness by securing a gold in the men's long jump. When Mo Farah ran to victory in the 10,000m, the nation went wild and so did Twitter.
A ginger, a Muslim immigrant and a mixed race woman walked into a bar…
Earlier in the week Lord Moynihan, Chairman of the British Olympic Association, highlighted an issue that few were talking about publically, saying it was "wholly unacceptable" that half of Team GB's gold medalists in Beijing four years ago were privately educated and calling for an overhaul of school sport policy to redress the balance. During the rowing and equestrian events you could have been forgiven for thinking the same story was playing out in the London games, especially when Zara Phillips became the first royal to be handed a medal.
However, last night's victories in the athletics highlighted the unique diversity of the UK and stirred emotions in ways that were reflected on Twitter:
The Daily Mail's stance on so-called "plastic Brits" also came under fire in this spoof of their front page:
Let the power of Sport into your life
A decade ago I remember seeing ads for Sky Sports encouraging me to 'Let the power of Sport into your life'. Yesterday was the first time I could truly understand why. The writer and poet Musa Okwonga captured the emotions felt by Black Britons on a day that is already being compared to England's victory in the 1966 football World Cup:
From Danny Boyle's amazing opening ceremony to Super Saturday, the London Games have been the best possible advert for the UK because they've shown the world what is Great about Britain. This tweet by James Graham summed it up nicely:
And all this was before Andy Murray beat Roger Federer to take gold in the tennis.
It's just as well most Olympic venues don't have roof tops, because they would have all blown off by now.

Portrait of Abu'l Hasan, the Last Sultan of Golconda
This portrait depicts Abu'l Hasan, the last sultan of the Qutb-Shahi dynasty of Golconda, a kingdom in the Deccan (central southern India) that was much celebrated for its refusal to bow to the Mughal emperors. The sultan is shown with a radiant gold nimbus, a convention of Deccani portraits of rulers. The Mughals finally conquered Golconda after a long siege, and Abu'l Hasan spent the last 17 years of his life in confinement. It is likely that this portrait was created after his death; it clearly celebrates him as a great ruler rather than as a defeated captive. This painting has lost the decorative margin papers that once framed it, leaving the blank edges of the page visible.

I Cracked the Case
First: A few things.
I had my last book signing of all time in Oklahoma City yesterday. Marlboro Man met me there. It was lots and lots of fun.
After the signing, Marlboro Man took me out to eat. I ordered pasta. My soul sang. My bottom jiggled violently.
Then we went to see "Avatar". In 3D.
I may or may not have eaten Reese's Pieces somewhere along the way.
The movie was spectacular. Unbelievable. Special. Outstanding.
It was also three hours long.
Three hours long in 3D. Please remember that part.
We stayed in a hotel in Oklahoma City and made plans to get up early and start Christmas shopping.
By the time we got to the hotel room, I was feeling a little…strange.
So we tucked ourselves in and went to bed. No funny stuff.
Then Marlboro Man woke up at 4 am, read that a winter storm was headed our way, and left to drive home so he could get all the animals fed before the snow hit.
Then I woke up with a severe headache, dizziness, and nausea. From what I have determined in my online research, I have a massive hangover from sitting through a three-hour 3D movie. I may or may not be able to leave the hotel room for the next three days.
I may or may not be able to go Christmas shopping.
We may or may not have Christmas in our house this year.
But that's okay! Christmas isn't about the presents, right?
*Tap-tap* This thing on?
Christmas isn't about the presents. That will be my chant today and I lie here in the hotel room and watch the ceiling spin around like a top.
And now. Before I continue with the other postings I have planned for today, I have to get this out.
I met this girl in Houston:
Approximately eight seconds after meeting her, I screamed at her. I screamed, "Take off your glasses!"
So she did. I think she was scared of what would happen if she didn't.
I can be quite frightening sometimes.
And anyway, I had my reasons.
I had my suspicions.
And my suspicions were confirmed.
Christina Ricci has gone blond and is hiding out in Houston, Texas!
I've cracked the case. Finally!
Of course, nobody but me even knew there was a case.
But I'm used to that.
By now, I'm so totally used to that.

Gee On Wednesday, December 23 at 7:31 pm

Mamadallama On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:18 pm
I hope you don't have the flu! A 3D hangover or pregnancy would be much preferable! Boo flu! Get well and have a wonderful Christmas, presents or no.
Lillies Mimi On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:20 pm
are you hoping for a boy or girl? That could explain it. Either way I hope you feel much better soon!
Wendi On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:27 pm
Howdy Ree! If you're able to ride then I'd be happy to come pick you up and run you home. (Oh, and I'm only slightly crazy…nut job enough to offer, not enough to do any harm.)
claudiu On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:28 pm
Congrats for the awesome book trip! Merry Xmas!
Theresa in Alberta On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:35 pm

PhillyCowgirl On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:41 pm

Pattycake On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:53 pm
Looks like its e-gift cards for everybody! (Cheering in the background)
Seriously, you got a hangover from 3-D. Does that mean if I get seasick standing by a boat I should not go see this movie???
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ree! With or without presents…
J.Rae On Wednesday, December 23 at 8:56 pm
As soon as I saw the pic I thought "she looks like Christina Ricci!"
Feel better soon and have a Merry Christmas!
Schillergirl On Wednesday, December 23 at 9:10 pm
Maybe…..you've got a bun in the oven!
Chris A. On Wednesday, December 23 at 9:12 pm
First, hope you are better and that it isn't the flu, and that you get back to your family soon.
My gosh she does look like her!
Mary F. On Wednesday, December 23 at 9:21 pm
Really freaky, but I saw that movie in 3D yesterday. I just said NOT EVEN 2 MINUTES AGO! that my equilibrium feels "off." Not really dizzy for me, but feeling sway-ish-eee. YOIKES!
debbie On Wednesday, December 23 at 9:21 pm

I love your blog! You're totally hillarious!
DebbieFromGA On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:10 pm
I'd heard the 3D visuals had made some viewers sick. I'm not sure I will be seeing that one, though it does look interesting.
linda On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:12 pm
Hope you are feeling better…nothing worse than feeling poorly and not being in your own bed..merry Christmas and I'm sure that Marlboro man will come through for you..
Mimi Shar On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:32 pm
So sorry you are sick, Hope you get to feeling better… But I just have a big favor of everyone that reads this.. A local couple lost their 2 youngest children last night driving home from Colorado. It would be hard enough to lose one child but to lose two would be terrible… Please everyone keep this family in your thoughts and prayers this season… My heart goes out to them. So glad I told my daughter it would be fine if they chose to stay in Austin instead of coming home with my grandbabies.. I know we never know when our time may come but with the weather and the traffic this week Lets all be extra careful and not in a hurry and watch the other guy… Please everyone call your children your mother/father your uncle /aunt or whoever and tell them you love them and everyone be kind to one another… Merry Xmas.
Kalena Michele On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:34 pm
HA! Christina Ricci. I love her as a actress. Good to know about Avatar. I'll have to check it out later.
OldNuffToKnoBtr On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:41 pm
Thanks for the warning re Avitar.
I would never have seen the resemblance between the two women. I'm not good at face recognition even when I know someone..
Kelly On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:45 pm
Uh, Ree? Headache, dizziness, nausea, and feeling a little…strange, eh? Is there another little punk on the way?! Oh what a Christmas present that would be!
sandi On Wednesday, December 23 at 10:48 pm
I blogged about this movie today. I loved it!! Thankfully I didn't get the 3D hangover you are talking about. It may have ruined it for me.
I hope you feel better.
I just finished wrapping 56 presents. The rest will remain unwrapped and set under the tree. Having fifteen kids is fun, just not the wrapping present part. I should have thought about things like that….
I wish I was closer and I would come over and help you.
nancy On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:05 pm
Vertigo and dizziness are not pleasant. I hope you are better, I have Meniere's and get vertigo. They say lotsts of salt. caffieine, alcohol and smoking can aggravate it too. Hope you are right, just too much 3D. Take care, Merry Christmas, so sorry I missed you again in OKC!!
Sherry On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:21 pm
Puke and rally, Ree!
Myra in CO On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:26 pm
You are SO pregnant!!
Avatar was a great movie…I am glad we couldn't afford 3-D! lol
Jane George On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:41 pm
I can't sit for three hours and not knit!! Guess I will have to skip this movie. Hope you have recovered and can enjoy the next few days. Merry Christmas!
Jenny On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:46 pm
Haha! So you crack cases only you know about, eh? You and Hank the Cowdog
It is uncanny how much that girl looks like Cristina Ricci, though!
Kathy G On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:49 pm
I've heard that about that movie…so it's true? I guess I won't be seeing it. Hope you're better soon!!
Angela On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:51 pm
When I saw her picture I thought the exact same thing !
Catherine On Wednesday, December 23 at 11:59 pm
oh my darling! that is awful! I'm so sad to hear about you being sick and cooped up in a hotel! I've been there before. I've been recently having these spells where all of a sudden the room is spinning and I've got to grab onto something and take deep breaths. I'm scared to drive! I hate being away from home when not feeling well. I hope you get rushed home soon by somebody!
Lots of hugs from Oregon!!
Mary S On Thursday, December 24 at 12:01 am
good grief , you may be right!. Whatever you do, do not read in the car on your way home.
Kim S On Thursday, December 24 at 12:04 am
My fingers are crossed nobody gave you the cooties during one of your booksignings!!
Hope you are feeling awesomely fine ASAP to get on with your Christmas shenanigans!!

I hope your feeling all better and were able to get the shopping done alone.
Angella Wilson On Thursday, December 24 at 12:15 am
You crack me up! I love the way your brain works (oh how I can relate)!
I hope you recovered in time to get a bit of Christmas shopping done! All the best!

Gabby Rogers On Thursday, December 24 at 12:24 am
OH NO. 3D Imax motion sickness, that sucks!
Kendall On Thursday, December 24 at 12:29 am
LOL Before I got to the part where you "cracked the case", I thought to myself "She looks like a blonde Christina Ricci"…good times.
Hope you get to feeling better!
pdxknitterati On Thursday, December 24 at 12:31 am
Feel better! I got motion sickness while watching District 9, and that wasn't 3D. I think I'll try the regular version of Avatar, but I may have to bail…sounds like a great movie, though.
Linda On Thursday, December 24 at 12:47 am
Hi Ree,
How ya feelin' now? I'm really hoping the 'Swines' had nothing to do with your little bout of sickness.
I thought that lady looked like Missy! They're both so beautiful. Lucky them.
Please let us know how things are going and until then I will hold you dear in my prayers.
Happy Holidays everyone.
Jen Guarino On Thursday, December 24 at 1:03 am
Oh, I love you Ree!!! I really hope the hang over wears off soon and Christmas does make an appearance at your house this year. Thanks for breaking the case!
Nena On Thursday, December 24 at 1:09 am
When I saw Up! in 3D, I had a big headache afterwords too. The first 5 minutes of the movie also gave me a headache as I tried to adjust my vision to the weird 3Dness of it all. I feel your pain, hope it goes away soon.
luvey On Thursday, December 24 at 1:38 am
We went to see Avatar a few nights ago…..I loved it! Glad we didn't see it in 3D! Hope you are feeling better and are able to get your Christmas shopping done.
Thorney On Thursday, December 24 at 1:48 am
We went to see Avatar tonight and loved it!! Then we went out to eat and I was feeling so quesy I couldn't eat. I still have a splitting headache and feel achy all over.
Hope Mugar On Thursday, December 24 at 2:06 am
OMGoodness! My husband took me to see Avatar tonight on the IMAX and 3D for our date night. My head was spinning half way through I had to go to the bathroom and get some fresh air. I hope tomorrow I don't feel like you did. I was really ummm movement invloved wasn't it. A little too long for me at the end, and without 3D would have been nice to. Love the thoughtful hubby though,

I do hope you're feeling better soon! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Joyce M On Thursday, December 24 at 4:30 am
Hope you're feeling better by now. If the room is still spinning and you feel nauseated I think you should see a Doctor. It might be labyrinthitis (vertigo). And someone should drive you (you should not drive while so dizzy. Oh, I forgot…call your Dad!
Bonnie On Thursday, December 24 at 4:49 am
Hope you feel better soon. Just give everyone your cookbook for Christmas – that's one thing my girls wanted! Thanks for the warning about the movie – no way I could watch it without be hospitalized or "hotelized" as in your case!)
pat n fl On Thursday, December 24 at 5:23 am
Hope you are feeling better and Merry Christmas to You and all your family.
Marie M. On Thursday, December 24 at 5:34 am
1. Hope you're feeling better. Are you cooking for Christmas, too? Years ago I saw a Woody Allen movie (forget the name) where he used a hand-held camera and everything jiggled the entire movie. At some point I threw-up. Yuck.
2. That is Christina Ricci's twin sister. They were separated at birth.
3. On Tasty Kitchen I goofed and gave Mario Lanza's "Guardian Angels" song another name. I can't sleep 'til I correct this error. Of course, I was number 25,374 so NO one will ever read it. Still.
Marilyn On Thursday, December 24 at 5:35 am
It sounds very much like vertigo! I wish I had some sure fire remedy but I don't. As a previous poster said antivert may help. It all has to do with mixed signals that your brain gets from your eyes and your ears..balance mechanism. Having once spent 14 hours on the bathroom floor with the spinning and nausea it causes, I feel your pain.
Robin in New Jersey On Thursday, December 24 at 6:46 am
I've heard this can happen. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Ann On Thursday, December 24 at 7:02 am
You're so funny. Hope you're feeling better.
rachaelhardin On Thursday, December 24 at 7:22 am
Oh my goodness! I can't do 3d movies anymore. We tried one year with Polar Express and I spent half the movie with my head down breathing slowly so I know the feeling!!! Hope you feel better!
Mary On Thursday, December 24 at 7:24 am
I decided on a New Yr's resolution. I'm going to read and master all of the photog. info. on your site, Ree. You're so kind to share what you know. I might as well take advantage of it, right?
Diva On Thursday, December 24 at 7:30 am
Good thing I've never heard of someone getting sick from a 3D movie, or I never would have gone to Avatar with my husband this weekend… Feel better soon!
Christy Browning On Thursday, December 24 at 7:32 am
Thanks for the warning. My hubby just said last night that he was not watching a 3 hour movie in 3D. We want to see the movie but not the 3D version.
P.S. I don't see the resemblance.
Linda On Thursday, December 24 at 7:37 am
You poor dear, hope you are feeling better soon! I've been wanting to see Avatar, but may re-think the 3D part.
Marry Christmas!
Kim On Thursday, December 24 at 7:37 am
I can't watch 3D either…gives me a horrid headache and sometimes makes me very nauseous (rode the Spider Man ride at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando ONE TIME, and had to sit afterward for 30 minutes before I could move). Hope you're feeling better
Ann On Thursday, December 24 at 8:05 am
It is so important for people to read how demanding having a ranch is…. good work ethics are a must!
I hope you feel better!!!
Jenny On Thursday, December 24 at 8:08 am
I knew where you were going with that one because as soon as you wrote that you told her to take off her glasses it dawned on me she looked exactly like Christina Ricci too.
I hope you feel better soon!
Dee DC On Thursday, December 24 at 8:09 am
Somebody's probably already posted this, but I found a like on how to avoid the Avatar 3D headache here: http://www.shadowlocked.com/index.php/component/content/article/41-editorial/69-how-to-avoid-getting-a-3d-headache-while-watching-avatar
I saw it non-3D yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I think it's possible to enjoy it either way! But, I hope you feel better soon Ree! And Merry Christmas to all!
Susan On Thursday, December 24 at 8:09 am
First..I hope you're feeling better. Nothing worse than being away from home when you don't feel well.
Second..Christina Ricci!..How cool is that? I never recognized her until you said her name! OMG..she looks so different as a blonde even without the glasses! Was she in line to get a book signed? Imagine that!
Mz V On Thursday, December 24 at 8:29 am
Whatever you've got…I've got. And I didn't even go to the movie. I'm holed up in bed with my family circled around me going, "Mom?" It's interesting. Now pardon me while I lay my head down.
Merry Christmas with fondest thoughts for all you've become to your fans,

naomi On Thursday, December 24 at 8:51 am
Aww, sorry to hear you are feeling ill. The last Bourne movie did that to me, and it wasn't even 3D – just very annoying cinematography!
Basinah On Thursday, December 24 at 8:54 am
Thanks for the warning. *normal* movies make me motion sick – I guess I will be taking a pass on this one.
And, very cool about discovering Ms Ricci's holiday hiding spot! lol
Megan On Thursday, December 24 at 9:13 am
Oh P-Dub, you've seriously over done it. You need rest, rest and more rest. It is Christmas day here in Perth in less than an hour and I can tell you everything pales into insignificance as the big day arrives. God is good! May you be blessed and healed!
thriftygal On Thursday, December 24 at 9:16 am
that IS an uncanny resemblence! even more so than your friend and Angie Harmon I'd say!
And I'd risk a 3D hangover to watch Avatar! Heard it was great
Dawn Grisley On Thursday, December 24 at 9:18 am
I also saw Avatar. It knocked my socks off. How much would I give to have Pandora be a real place? I wish I could go.
Melanie On Thursday, December 24 at 9:24 am
Sounds like Vertigo! My mom gets that and I won't tell you how bad it can be. It requires a hospital stay. I hope you get to feeling better.
Karen On Thursday, December 24 at 9:38 am
I knew you were going to say that…I thought the same thing about that girl….so funny.
Lisa On Thursday, December 24 at 10:01 am
Hope you get well soon.
Jennilynn On Thursday, December 24 at 10:18 am
Saw Transformers 2 in 3-D. Not a good idea, especially since we got there a little late and had to sit kinda close. Ya know how they tell you if you start to feel nauseous during the movie that you should close your eyes? Well…I didn't actually WATCH the 2nd half of the movie – I merely listened to it. Too much action for my little eyes. I was fine after we left the theatre though. Hope you get well soon.
Vicki Malave On Thursday, December 24 at 10:29 am
Oh! I should've followed your schedule closer. I bought your cookbook for my daughter for Christmas. You remind me of her (She's funny, witty, creative, loving and talented.). We're in Edmond and a hop, skip and jiggle to Oklahoma City. Oh well…Merry Christmas and Thank you for sharing yourself w/ us on your site. Mucho Joy this season!
Chris F. On Thursday, December 24 at 10:30 am
I echo what entry 400 said.
Get well, soon.
You do have an eye for faces.
Your are an artist with your photography
Merry Christmas
Shirls On Thursday, December 24 at 10:38 am
too funny, I was probably watching the same movie, in #D at the same time. Although today – at work, no spinning, no problems, no hangover, maybe it was the chocolate? LOL
Emmie On Thursday, December 24 at 10:51 am
Wow – I don't typically have trouble with 3D but I also don't think I've ever subjected myself to it for 3 hrs – something to think about as my husband wants to see at a the IMAX.
Hope you are feeling better soon!
shelley e On Thursday, December 24 at 10:57 am
I thought she looked like her before I even read your post!
Melissa On Thursday, December 24 at 11:50 am
Hope you are feeling better! Sounds like when my mom had vertigo.
I have to say — Christmas is not about the presents. After experiencing the negative effects of the economy for an extended period this year, I have a different perspective.
This year, more than ever, Christmas is about the celebration of Jesus' birth and the love of family and friends. The value and amount of presents may fluctuate from year to year, but those two things are what matter most to me.
sarah c On Thursday, December 24 at 11:58 am
I totally thought that too when I saw the girl with the glasses on! hilarious! If I go see Avatar, I will NOT be seeing it in 3D. thanks for the warning.

Easton College
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2010)
|Easton College
|David Lawrence
|Easton, Norfolk, England
52°38′41″N 1°09′40″E / 52.6446°N 1.1611°ECoordinates: 52°38′41″N 1°09′40″E / 52.6446°N 1.1611°E
Easton College is a land-based college, located at Easton, seven miles west of Norwich, Norfolk, England, and now one of two campuses of Easton & Otley College (the other being based at Otley in Suffolk). Owning 652 acres (2.64 km2) of land, it spreads over Easton to provide workable land for all the courses run at the college. Over time it has adapted to the most current and up to date courses, such as Horticulture, Arboriculture, Sports, Animal Care, Countryside, Land-Based Technology, Equine, and Floristry. The college have just added a £22.5 million extension to the site, it is now investing another £15 million on adding 2 buildings containing tennis courts, new class rooms, huge stand alone indoor equestrian centre, and many more things. The college at the moment can provide for 122 residential students for further education and a further 25 for higher education. The college, also provides part-time and short courses, to the public.
The College[edit]
The main focus of the college is on vocational courses with qualifications such as First and National Diplomas, as well as Foundation Degrees. With vocational courses the main emphasis is on 'hands-on' practical work, combined with classroom-based activity. Work experience/placements form an integral part of the student's education and are undertaken in most of Easton's curriculum areas, external trips are often linked to most areas of study.
Easton College offers full-time courses in the following curriculum areas:
- Agriculture
- Animal Care
- Countryside Management
- Equine Studies
- Floristry
- Horticulturesa
- Public Services
- Sport and Recreation
- Now Construction
Part-time opportunities also exist in the above areas along with:
- Agricultural Machinery
- Garden and Interior Design
- Information Technology
Modern Apprenticeships are available through a variety of Government funded schemes in:
- Agriculture
- Animal Care
- Equine Studies
- Floristry
- Horticulture
- Gamekeeping
- Service Engineering
- Sport and Leisure
Tennis Centre[edit]
Easton College Tennis Centre is a £3.2M development consisting of 8 indoor tennis courts which is Norfolk's only pay & play indoor tennis facility. No membership is required to use the state of the art indoor courts thus adding to the Norfolk tennis landscape as opposed to conflicting with it.
Built with partnership funding from the Learning and Skills Council, The Lawn Tennis Association, the Norfolk Lawn Tennis Association and of course the college, the project was completed in two phases. In autumn 2008 the first stage of the building project was completed when the 4 court air hall became operational. Once these courts were up and running the tennis programme started to develop. In early 2009, building work started on phase two of the project. This second stage was this permanent structure, including four more acrylic indoor courts, changing rooms, toilets, refreshments, offices, seminar rooms and a viewing gallery.
British tennis ace and 2007 Wimbledon mixed doubles champion Jamie Murray (brother of Andy) and his mother Judy (coach and now TV tennis commentator) led the opening ceremony for the complex, with Jamie calling it, "a fantastic facility, the sort that would give youngsters a great opportunity to boost the British game."
As well as offering tennis to all the tennis players in Norfolk, the indoor courts also add a fantastic resource for Easton's 300+ sports students who attend the college. The use of the hall by the college's many sports courses during the day ensures tennis has a developing role in the culture of the college.
Easton has recently come under scrutiny after claiming to have the only European Red Clay courts in the country aside from the National Tennis Centre. This has been found to be untrue, with several other clubs and centres, such as Sutton Tennis Academy and Dukes Meadows, voicing their displeasure at such claims.
Easton Village[edit]
Easton is a small village in Norfolk, to the west of Norwich. It covers an area of 6.25 km2 (2.41 sq mi) and at the 2001 census had population of 1,141 in 445 households.[1] Located close to the Norfolk Showground and the A47, the village's football team, Easton FC, currently plays in the Anglian Combination. They have achieved great success under current manager Eddie Jack and have moved up three divisions in the last 3 years. A new sponsorship deal for the 2007-08 season has seen the clubs two teams wearing the same kit for the first time and have also now adopted a club badge.

This lecture treats the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium of axisymmetric plasmas, as given by the Grad-Shafranov equation. In a brief introduction, equilibrium parameters such as the q-profile, the internal inductance, and the poloidal beta are introduced. The properties of these quantities will be illustrated in the case of the tokamak, by applying the large aspect ratio tokamak approximation. The properties of a non-circular plasma cross-section and the role of the vertical field will also be discussed in this approximation. Some attention is given to the (numerical) problem of solving the equilibrium equation and of reconstructing a plasma equilibrium from external measurements. The numerical methods themselves are presented in Ref. 1.

Science, engineering students can study microfluidics this summer in Brazil
(June 1, 2010)--UTSA students can apply for study abroad this summer in Brazil. Hosted by the UTSA Department of Chemistry, the selected students will conduct hands-on research in microfluidics and chemical analysis for eight weeks beginning June 26 at the Institute of Chemistry of Sao Carlos in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the program includes travel expenses, meals, student stipends and housing at either the University of Sao Paulo or a nearby hotel.
Microfluidics is the study of fluids in sub-milliliter scales. The interdisciplinary field calls upon engineering, physics, chemistry, microtechnology and biotechnology principles and has given rise to the development of such things as inkjet print heads, DNA chips and lab-on-a-chip technology.
While in Brazil, students will complete a series of projects focused on developing highly trained undergraduates for careers in modern analytical chemistry (microfluidics, chemical analysis and materials science) via a comprehensive program that includes research, seminars and workshops. The focus on microfluidics and chemical analysis will enable students to acquire unique scientific skills along with an exceptional cultural experience.
In Brazil, students will form teams with other more experienced students to enable closer interaction between peers and to give training experience to the junior mentors. The selected students are expected to work the number of hours their appointment covers, typically 40 hours per week.
To apply for study abroad in Brazil, UTSA science and engineering undergraduate students should contact Carlos Garcia, UTSA assistant professor of chemistry, at 210-458-5774.

The Voice
Watch Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte Sing Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" on The Voice Battle Rounds, October 8, 2012 (VIDEO)
In the last battle round of the night, Cee Lo picked Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte to do a duet of Mariah Carey's hit song, "Vision of Love." After getting some advice from mentor Rob Thomas, Cee Lo acknowledged that pitting two of his strongest singers against one another may not have been the best idea.
Following the powerful performance, which was easily the best of the night, all of the judges were on their feet, clamouring to steal one of Cee Lo's team members.
Cee Lo knew he had a nearly impossible decision to make, and ultimately chose to keep Trevin on his team.
Before Carson even finished explaining that Amanda was available to steal, Adam, Blake, and Christina all pushed their buttons, hoping Amanda would choose to join one of their respective teams.
With the power now in Amanda's hands, she chose to "reach outside the box" and become a part of Team Adam.
Did Amanda choose the right team to join? Sound off below!

Taste buds are fickle when complacent; they often became lethargic and suddenly you will not be able to tell the difference between rich, double-chocolate cake and that gaudy luminous-purple corduroy pillow on the sofa. Keep your taste buds happy and in line with an exotic twist and pay R40 for any meal up to the value of R80 at Aroy Thai Westville.
If you long to experience a taste of the East like the deserts miss the rain or like a seagull longs for shiny things, the tantalising tastes of Aroy Thai Westville will be the perfect appetite appeaser. The owners of this traditional Thai restaurant have gone out of their way to ensure that all palates are catered for with exotic dishes of fish, shrimp, chicken and several vegetarian delights. The friendly Thai waiters will respectively bow and greet you with a jovial welcoming "Sawaddee" as you enter this esteemed South East Asian eatery.
Once your taste buds have experienced the thrill of spicy, vibrant traditional Thai food there is no going back – and it is highly likely that you will find yourself mysteriously indulging in the delicious delicacies at Aroy Thai Westville every night, without knowing exactly how you got there. With dishes ranging from sweet-sour stir fry, a kaleidoscope of different sushi and famous thick, saucy Thai Panang curry, choosing a meal could be more difficult than trying to get a very happy panda off of a see-saw or attempting to explain Pythagoras theorem to your uninterested cat.
Thai fact: In 1782 a Thai family in Chang Mai made the headlines of every local newspaper after their toddler was named "Trendy toddler of the year". The competition, which was the first in the South East Asian city, had a grand prize of 200kg of candyfloss which pleased the Thai family immensely.

Just updated from Jr12 to Jr13, wiped cache and dalvik cache only and running smoothly.
Jump to content
Paul, hopefully you'll be able to throw in the weather info on the lock screen at some point. It would be a perfect bonus.
We Canadians need to have easy access to that weather info, as every 5 steps we take, the weather changes..
Why don't you download Cyanogenmod's Chronus app. You can get it over on XDA.
I already did. Didn't work on my Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus 7. Clock worked fine, no weather and no way to set it up.
Franco kernel r37 not work well on Jr13 :-(
Always worth banking up and wiping cache and dalvik before installing the new ROM
Same for me! I replaced it by Trinity kernel for 4.2, ALPHA0 - so far so good. At least it does not hang anymore (as it did on Franco r37 every 15 minutes).
Edited by comicbookguy, 05 January 2013 - 09:48 AM.
franco r37 was a total hang-fest! trying r38 now and will report back..... if its no better i''l move to Trinity at least for the moment
R38 seems much better after a couple of hours use and no hangs....
This fix has taken a lot longer than i'd have liked to get ready... but finally I have the fix for Google Now in landscape mod mode. I'll be uploading it soon before I issue the next set of prebakes.
Hi Paul,
I've just installed Jr13 and this fix doesn't seem to be there. I still get the circle coming up from the bottom (long side) of the screen.
Also, the torch option seems to crash the UI.
With Franco r37, there was a problem with Interactive. Switching to Ondemand was a temp fix. So far r38 has been running fine on Interactive again.
Torch? There's no LED.
Yep... likewise...
Been running franco's r38 kernel for around 24hrs now without problems... and in conjunction with Paul's Jr13 ROM... my Nexus 7 is smooth, slick and sublime.

PLATE tectonics may be about to be turned on its head. Instead of being heated from below like water on a stove, the Earth's interior could have more in common with a neat gin on the rocks.
While geologists agree that the plates of the Earth's crust are constantly moving, nobody is quite sure why. Some believe that heat from within the Earth causes convection currents in the molten interior that drive the plates. But geophysicist Don Anderson of the California Technical Institute in Pasadena thinks the convection could be triggered by the plates themselves.
Efforts to model mantle convection based on heat from below have failed. "Those convection calculations have never come up with plate tectonics or anything resembling the present situation on Earth," Anderson says. Thinking about the problem from the top down may be the key.
The new view is that where the hot mantle comes into ...

University Hospital is first in region to offer treatment to precursor of esophageal cancer
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — University Hospital is the only hospital in the region to offer the most advanced, non-surgical treatment proven in clinical trials to cure Barrett's esophagus, a precursor to a type of esophageal cancer. Rates of esophageal cancer have been rising rapidly in the United States.
According to University Hospital gastroenterologist Ronald Szyjkowski, M.D., who brought the technique to the region, the standard of care for other precancerous conditions, such as polyps, is to remove the suspected lesion. Yet, he says, the current standard of care for Barrett's esophagus is to survey patients on a periodic basis and watch and wait.
"This new FDA-approved treatment allows us to simultaneously prevent cancer and reduce anxiety for patients who have to live with a premalignant condition," said Szyjkowski.
The treatment uses an endoscope-mounted ablation system, called the HALO System by BARRX Medical Inc. The system has two components: an ablative energy generator and an ablation catheter featuring a small electrode that can be mounted on the end of an endoscope. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006 and became commercially available in the United States this January.
Using standard endoscopic skills, the physician directs the ablation catheter to the diseased area of the sedated patient's esophagus. The HALO energy generator is then activated to deliver a rapid (less than one second) burst of ablative energy, or controlled heat, that removes less than a one millimeter layer of the diseased esophagus. The removal of tissue is tightly controlled so as to avoid injury to the normal, healthy underlying tissues. To date, the system has been safely evaluated in more than 5,000 patients.
"The 20-minute procedure is well tolerated by patients," said Szyjkowski, who added that patients can return to normal activity following the procedure. "Following ablation with the HALO System, the diseased tissue in most patients is replaced by new healthy tissue within three to four weeks."
In clinical studies, after 30 months more than 90 percent of participants were Barrett's-free after one to two treatment sessions. After more than two and a half years of treatment, 98.4 percent of patients with Barrett's had no residual Barrett's esophagus tissue.
Barrett's esophagus is a precancerous condition affecting the lining of the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food, liquids and saliva from the mouth to the stomach. It results from chronic exposure of the esophagus to the gastric contents of the stomach caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly known as GERD. With prolonged acid exposure, normal cells can undergo a genetic change and transform into taller columnar cells. These Barrett's cells are vulnerable to further changes that can lead to a type of cancer called esophageal adenocarcinoma, which is currently the most rapidly rising cancer in the United States, affecting about 3 million adults.
In addition to the HALO System treatment, University Hospital offers the Plicator procedure for individuals who are dependent on medications or who would otherwise need surgery to control symptoms of heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The procedure, performed on an outpatient basis at University Hospital, has been shown to reduce or completely eliminate symptoms and medication use associated with GERD.
University Hospital is the teaching hospital of SUNY Upstate Medical University.

"Salvation Reflecting its Methodist influences Pentecostal soteriology is generally Arminian rather than Calvinist.[6] Pentecostals believe that in order to receive salvation and enter Heaven one must accept the teachings of Jesus Christ as described in the Bible. This includes being born again or being regenerated and is the fundamental requirement of Pentecostalism. Most Pentecostals also believe that salvation is a gift received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and cannot be earned through good deeds alone such as penance. Also most do not believe that Spirit baptism or speaking in tongues is required for salvation; though believers are encouraged to seek these experiences. However there are notable differences among them as to exactly how one is born again especially between Oneness believers and other Pentecostals. For the Oneness Pentecostal perspective on salvation see the Oneness Pentecostal section of this article below. We belief and practice center on their understanding of the infilling or baptism of the Holy Spirit. Most Pentecostals understand this infilling to be subsequent to salvation which allows those who have been filled to experience spiritual gifts which are described in the Bible.[7] Traditionally Pentecostals have taught that the initial evidence of Spirit baptism is speaking in tongues unlike charismatics who generally assign no special importance to tongues considering the receipt of any of the gifts as evidence of infilling. Pentecostalism distinguishes between the Spirit's indwelling which happens when one is saved and the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is subsequent to salvation. There is usually a distinction made between two types of tongues. First many see it as the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit when a believer speaks in tongues for the first time.[8] Most Pentecostal denominations consider this to be the sign of that believer being filled with the Holy Spirit.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' finale: Raja sashays away with the win
Well, if we were betting people, we should have put our money on Raja from the very beginning. In the Season 3 finale of " RuPaul's Drag Race," the celebrity makeup artist outdragged Florida queen Alexis Mateo and Filipino princess, Manila Luzon for the ultimate win.
In the finale, the queens appeared in RuPaul's music video for "Champion." Yes, that's appropriate. Dressed as Greek goddesses, they had to learn choreography, do an intimate shoot with the scantily clad men of the Pit Crew, and generally work their ever-living Grecian butts off while looking gorgeous doing so.
Raja was an early favorite among fans and bloggers with her edgy androgynous take on drag queendom. While she showed some lack of confidence when it came to her dancing, looks, and ability to show a vulnerable side, she was always able to throw that off once she hit the stage. Some felt she had a mean streak and got some criticism for being the unofficial queen of the "Heathers," derived from the late-eighties mean girl film of the same name. But while Raja could dish it out, sometimes she couldn't take it.
In the end, RuPaul and the judges gave her the crown for being unique, glamorous and then basically out-performing runner-up, Manila Luzon, in the final lip-sync for your life.
Raja wins the headlining spot on Logo's Drag Race Tour, a lifetime supply of Kryolan Professional Makeup, and a cash prize of $75,000.
Manila, a fellow "Heather," was strong competition. Going into the finale, she was on a roll, having won the last two challenges. She had the unique gift of combining comedy and glamour. But in that final lip-sync, we could see the moment she lost the contest. The robot, Manila? America's next drag superstar doesn't do the robot.
Alexis Mateo was the last standing member of the "Boogers," but despite a huge amount of criticism from the judges through out the competition and a look they found too "regional" to win the contest, she earned a lot of respect from them and her competitors. At one point, she even walked out the door out of frustration. Thankfully, she came back and third place isn't something to be ashamed of.
So, Zappers, are you happy about Raja's win? Or, should the crown have gone to someone else?
By the way, we're speaking to Raja in the morning. If you have any questions for her, leave them in the comments section below!

Samsung Galaxy S II Plus pictures leak
A Chilean carrier VTR has what it claims to the Galaxy S II Plus on its website, complete with pictures and a spec page.
The phone looks strangely identical to the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S II (T989). In fact, if you go through the spec sheet of the S II Plus, you will find more similarities, such as a 4.52-inch, 800 x 480 resolution Super AMOLED Plus display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, microSD card slot and an 8 megapixel camera.
The Galaxy S II Plus is said to be running on Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, something that the T989 did not.
VTR has also linked to the T-Mobile page of the T989 Galaxy S II as the official page, which makes us sure that this is nothing but a rebranded version of the T989 for the international markets. That is assuming this phone is for the international market, which seems strange as other than the slightly bigger display this phone is not much better than the original Galaxy S II at all to warrant the 'Plus' tag.

Daniel Craig returns to play Bond, James Bond for the third time with Skyfall, the 23rd film of the spy franchise. Directed by Sam Mendes, this Bond movie offers up a little backstory on Bond along with high-octane action scenes, Bond Girls, and suspense.
Sitting down for a press conference to discuss this latest entry in the blockbuster franchise, Craig discussed what sets this film apart from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace and what audiences can expect this time around.
Daniel Craig Press Conference
While you were doing press for Casino Royale you talked about having to earn moments like 'shaken, not stirred' or 'Bond, James Bond'. What gave you the indication you'd earned it?
Daniel Craig: "I just think the thing is I just felt that given the great opportunity to do Casino, which the conceit was that we're discovering the character, that we couldn't just cram in the old gags, it would've felt wrong - and I was not trying to copy anybody who'd come before. They did it so well and I didn't want to be that person. I wanted to be me in this, but it's always been a plan. It's always been somewhere we've wanted to get to, and to try to put them back into the movie in an original, fresh way was just the only issue and the thing Sam and I spoke at length about, because we wanted to make a Bond movie. Eventually a Bond movie is a Bond movie because of those things. I don't know if I've earned it or not yet."
Daniel, why do you think after five decades Bond is still such a potent franchise?
Daniel Craig: "To me it's a very easy answer. It's retaining what it always had. It's making movies for the audience, putting it all on the screen and this family [indicating Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli] is the reason for it."
What was your most memorable moment in this film?
Daniel Craig: "God, there were many. The thing that stays with me most is not really any particular thing but the fact is walking onto the set with the cast that we had and Sam at the helm and a crew who you did pay good money for, but they were all there and everybody was excited and enthusiastic about making this film. That enthusiasm was infectious. That really, for me, is my abiding memory."
Was there one particular moment that was the most dramatic or frustrating?
Daniel Craig: "Every day. All of those things. It was romantic and frustrating. It's seven months of filming, so it's like making four movies at the same time. There's a second unit going on, there's the main unit. We're shooting action sequences, we're shooting dialogue sequences, underwater sequences. There's nothing like it. It's a real privilege and an honor just to be around that."
After having done three Bond movies, what have you learned about doing action movies? Do you find moments you can be relaxed or lose the leash?
Daniel Craig: "Look, it's a combination. Action movies live and die by the story that you're trying to tell. It's hard. It's very difficult to do an action movie that stays engaging. More often, there's a split between the two. You get an explosion and a bit of dialogue as it goes about. Sam [Mendes] put a huge amount of hard work into retaining the story that it's told all the way. When you do that, doing the action makes all the sense in the world. Suddenly I'm on top of the train driving through the Turkish countryside and it makes sense. But I know what's happening. I know what's happening next. I know where the story's going and I'm clear. So it gives it a huge amount of freedom and I get a kick out of it.
I don't do all my own stunts. I'd be lying if I said that, but I like the fact that occasionally you'll see it on screen and it's my face and it's me. I think audiences hopefully appreciate that. At least I hope they do."
What were the preproduction discussions about merging old and new Bond?
Daniel Craig: "Extensive. I mean, nonstop - and nonstop throughout the whole filming process. We knew we wanted to do something along those lines but it's very easily said, but it's difficult to put into practice. It takes a lot of talented people to get that right. As I said earlier, you want to do it with a freshness, with a new eye, with something that satisfies."
You were able to share more scenes and work more closely with Judi Dench in this one. Can you talk about that?
Daniel Craig: "It was about time she did some work because she normally just sits in an office on the phone shouting at people. She's an extraordinary woman, actress, just wonderful to be with. I keep saying this but when Judi walks into the room, she lights the room up. It's incredible. She's got such an energy about life and she loves doing what she does. For me, I've been a fan of her all my life so to get the chance to work with her and play with her, because that's what she likes doing. She likes playing on set. She takes her job very, very seriously but laughs all the time."
Was your gun barrel walk different this time?
Daniel Craig: "It was a little more relaxed maybe. That's the point."
Do you dread the potential call one day that they're moving on with Bond?
Daniel Craig: "No, look, I get a huge kick out of doing this and I can see doing another film. The whole point of this is they take such a chunk out of your life. I'm contracted to two, by the way, which is fairly common.
I can see the next one. Beyond that, there's so much work involved bringing it together. I'd love to do another movie. That's what I'm trying to say in a very roundabout way."
How much is Skyfall a set up for the next film or two?
Daniel Craig: "It's a happy accident if it's a setup. I mean, genuine, I think so. I think by introducing some new and old characters, I think we have."
And how was working with the Queen for the Opening Ceremonies?
Daniel Craig: "'Working with the Queen,' I like that. Look, I got to play a very small part in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in London. That's, for me, a real honor and the fact that we did that was just very surreal and extraordinary. There's not a lot to say. I would be breaking State secrets."

text: The Out of This World wiki last edited by ReverendHunt on 09/01/14 05:23PM View full history StoryLester's Lab.The player takes on the role of Lester Knight Chaykin, a young physicist who accidentally manages to destroy his lab and gets himself somehow teleported onto another world. After a quick exploration of the local area, he is quickly captured by the sentient inhabitants of the planet, a race of bulky, humanoid creatures. Lester then wakes up in a cage with another one of the creatures, looking over what appears to be a mining complex.He quickly escapes, eliminating his guard and freeing his companion who proceeds to help Lester leave the complex and get to the surface. It is immediately apparent that the alien race was using their own as slaves, and that they operated as a Roman-esque society, albeit with lasers, complete with a Colosseum and a harem. Lester is eventually caught and nearly killed by one of the creatures, but he manages to defeat his attacker and is saved by the very companion he freed at the start. Lester and his companion then ride an enormous bird-like creature off into the distance.GameplayThe laser in use.Out of This World uses 2D side-scrolling mechanics, similar to most platformers released at the time. As such, the player could move both left and right, run, jump, crouch, and at some points use a laser gun. The gun allows the player to both create charged shots and shields. Because Lester can only survive one hit before dying, and in early parts of the game it is entirely possible for the gun to run out of ammo, precision and care are needed when attacking enemies. Although inefficient, the game includes a password system, which affords the player the ability to continue on from previous checkpoint.There are many points where the player must solve complex puzzles in order to proceed, often involving trial and error. Notable is the lack of a HUD; there is no score, no lives system, no map, no ammunition count, no inventory.The Game-worldAs there are no explanatory cutscenes or dialogue, players must figure out for themselves what the nature of the place is, and its true location. There is a clue toward the end which suggests that the world where the player character was transported to may not be what it first appears, although that interpretation is left up to the player.From the outset, the region of the world where the game takes place seems to be arid and largely desolate. Animals and plants tend to be brutal and predatory, and the sentient life forms conduct gladiatorial games and what appears to be forced labor, as noted earlier. These traits may be evident of a Roman Empire level of culture in terms of art and architecture, although the architecture may be more comparable to medieval Muslim architecture in the middle-east. Although their culture may be primitive by human standards, their technology is certainly not. They possess a greater understanding of energy and how to harness it, evident in power nodes which are dotted around the city, but also in their weaponry, which can stun on the lowest setting and is otherwise lethal. They also possess flying vehicles that supersede technologically anything humanity has built so far.Original ProductionRotoscoping models used by Eric Chahi.Animation of the principle characters was performed through a process called rotoscoping, whereby real objects were used as models for animation work, lending a life-like and quirky feel to the movement that might seem flat and predictable if animated through simple physics models. Allegedly, Lester's appearance is based on Eric Chahi. However, because Chahi found it disturbing to see himself in the game, he decided to change Lester to a Redhead.The game was originally, officially released for PC (DOS), Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, 3DO, SNES, Genesis and the Sega CD. The Atari and Amiga versions were developed first. They are relatively shorter compared to later versions, and have a higher difficulty level due to more precise timing required of the player. The PC version was the first to introduce a whole new level in the middle to latter third of the game to help lengthen the game and strengthen the narrative.Further obstacles were added for the Genesis and SNES console ports, as Interplay purportedly wanted players to get as much gameplay as possible for their dollar. Nintendo also had demands about certain scenes which were considered to be inappropriate for minors (which amounted to a few pixels worth of deletions during a bathhouse scene; as well as changing reddish ichor, which might be interpreted as blood, to green).The Sega CD version of the game included a game set in the same world, dubbed Out of this World 2: Heart of the Alien, which took place from the point of view of the aliens. Eric Chahi has stated, however, that this in-house Interplay project suffers in terms of animation quality and its value as a game, as he was not involved in the project.Eric Chahi has stated that the problem with some of the early enhanced versions was that the backgrounds were a lot easier to improve than the characters themselves. In order to enhance the characters, new rotoscoping or detailed, frame-by-frame enhancement of the animations would have to be done, while the backdrops could be repainted with relative ease. Doing the latter without the former, though, would result in the characters in the foreground looking flat. For the 3DO version, Chahi says, this is especially apparent.The enhancement of the animations themselves could probably not be done because processors of the time could not handle so many frames of animation being very detailed, although currently such restrictions are negligible.In addition to the listed versions, there were also unofficial ports to both the GBA and GP32 systems.SequelThough fans have been hoping for a true sequel, Chahi has stated that he wishes for the game to have no continuation as he wants the ending of the original to remain ambiguous and fans could make their own conclusion to the franchise."I think the story is complete. It has a lot of mystery, so doing a sequel would be very tricky. It could break the magic it has."- Eric Chahi(Retro Gamer issue #96, 2011)Despite this, a sequel was made for the Sega CD in 1994 called Heart of The Alien, which placed Buddy as the main protagonist. Chahi was not involved with the development and dismissed the "sequel" to be non-canon.AvailabilityThe original game is not easy to find, but a new, high resolution version is available as a demo, or a full version for 7 Euros (at the time of this writing) from the creator Eric Chahi on his website. The new version has more detailed backgrounds, multiple graphics modes, more save points and Windows XP and Vista compatible.Telco Games also distributes a mobile phone version of the game.15th Anniversary EditionThe 15th Anniversary Edition is also available from GOG.com and comes with a selection of extra content, including:manual (17 pages)2 HD wallpapersdevelopment diarytechnical handbooksoundtrack"making of" video20th Anniversary EditionIn 2011, in commemoration of its 20th anniversary, Out of This World was made available for the iOS (iPhone and iPad) and later Android.

Design Toscano has many beautiful outdoor elephant statues, some wonderfully sculpted like the lucky elephant with his trunk held high and some that can be used as tables or chairs. One of the most unusual is the Raised Expectations Elephant Wall Sculpture depicting three elephants with tusks raising their trunks coming out of a garden wall. This would great in a space with an African theme.
Our adorable garden statues gnomes are always doing something in the garden, but every day is not a sunny day so our gnomes have to seek some shelter from the rain. This adorable statue is called Rainy Day Gnomes: Under an Umbrella Garden Statue and shows a man and a lady gnome, each with their red hats, and he with his long white beard, seeking shelter under an umbrella. This cute statue would look great in any flower garden.
In our marble busts for sale section we have many sculptures by our artists and also some wonderful reproductions of famous pieces of sculpture. Our replica of Rodin's The Cathedral is done in quality foundry iron casting of the "hands of love" and is on a solid black marble base for a very classic look.

Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self (original 2002; edition 2012)
by Claire Tomalin
Work details
Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self by Claire Tomalin (2002)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really think Pepy's diary is too distracting to biographers. Obviously the most important source of information about his life, its salaciousness obscures his actual work and accomplishments. I long for a biography that would focus upon his impact on the British Navy and politics of the time.
Amazing, fascinating bio.
Plague, fire, civil war, treason, the fall of kings: Samuel Pepys experienced them all. His was a life that coincided with one of the most momentous periods of English history and he recorded his experiences in meticulous detail in leather-bound diaries writing every day for nine years.
Such a rich source of original material would be a gift for any biographer but for Claire Tomalin they didn't go far enough because they tell us nothing of Pepys' childhood and education or, after the Restoration, his public disgrace and humiliation. Through extensive research and examination of contemporary letters and diaries, Admiralty papers, judicial reports, memoirs and biographies, she seeks to fill in these considerable gaps in Pepys' story.
Tomalin tells the story with panache and energy. Although she has to resort to guess-work and surmise on some occasions, she never stretches credulity too far. Nor, although much of what she writes is necessarily full of facts, she never allows that detail to get in the way of telling a good story. One of the most memorable episodes she tells is of the operation Pepys underwent to remove the bladder stone which had given him excruciating pain for decades. In Tomalin's imaginative re-creation we experience the same tension Pepys must have felt as he was trussed and bound to the bed and sense every moment of the operation he suffered without the benefit of anaesthetic or numbing alcohol.
Tomalin treats her subject with warmth, enjoying his pleasure in ordinary human activities and admiring his curiousity, his love and support for learning and his intelligence. She acknowledges his egotism, his often bad treatment of the women in his life and his lecherous behaviour but concludes that these never dim his brightness so we 'rarely lose all sympathy for him. His energy burns off blame." It's a credit to Tomalin's skill that we come to share her enthusiasm for this 'most ordinary and the most extraordinary' of men.
As Samuel is one of my heroes (a short list of historical figures "who wink at us" – as Walter Isaacson said of Ben Franklin) and owning the Diaries in several formats I was a little cautious in approaching Tomalin's work. How glad I was that I did, and I devoured it at one sitting, returning to re-read it with equal enjoyment as often as I can (a benefit of growing maturity this!) and it always leads me back to my small collection of Pepys books.
When we lived in London for about seven years my wife and two sons would often explore the city, and often took along one of the 'complete' diaries with us and revisited – as one still can – many of naughty Samuel's favorite flirting, drinking and eating spots.
Claire Tomalin's work evidences her sheer enjoyment of this great and all too human character, who wrote for his own personal enjoyment of his times and significant career in the creation of the British Navy, through England's own revolution and short Republic and the eventual return of the Monarch that Pepys served so well.
This book is as deeply intelligent and as charming as the subject himself
Read for the Motley Fool book club; well I say read, but the library only had an audio-book copy on the shelves when I went in. I didn't know before reading this that Samuel Pepys' relatives were right at the centre of the Roundhead faction. Very interesting! I liked the way the book started, with a diary entry about an argument with his wife being used to show how he tells things as they happened, and doesn't twist things to make himself always appear to be in the right. Reading about Pepys wading knee-deep in cloves and nutmeg in the captured Dutch ship reminded me of a book I read last month; "Nathaniel's Nutmeg", a non-fiction account of the struggles between the English and Dutch East Indies companies for control of the spice trade earlier in the 17th century.
The diaries give a picture of a complex man, at times romantic and usually loyal but always pragmatic. As a naval administrator he was well-organised, thorough and hard-working and it seems clear that Pepys survived the vagaries of 17th Century political life through being very good at his job. He left such a detailed view of London life, politics and society, that you just can't help being drawn into the 1660s.
Most amusing moment: Mrs Skinner, mother of the woman Pepys has lived with for 30 years, left Pepys a small bequest in her will - just enough gold to make a ring. Obviously a woman who believed in having the last word!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375725539, Paperback)For a decade, beginning in 1660, an ambitious young London civil servant kept an astonishingly candid account of his life during one of the most defining periods in British history. In Samuel Pepys, Claire Tomalin offers us a fully realized and richly nuanced portrait of this man, whose inadvertent masterpiece would establish him as the greatest diarist in the English language.
Against the backdrop of plague, civil war, and regicide, with John Milton composing diplomatic correspondence for Oliver Cromwell, Christopher Wren drawing up plans to rebuild London, and Isaac Newton advancing the empirical study of the world around us, Tomalin weaves a breathtaking account of a figure who has passed on to us much of what we know about seventeenth-century London. We witness Pepys's early life and education, see him advising King Charles II before running to watch the great fire consume London, learn about the great events of the day as well as the most intimate personal details that Pepys encrypted in the Diary, follow him through his later years as a powerful naval administrator, and come to appreciate how Pepys's singular literary enterprise would in many ways prefigure our modern selves. With exquisite insight and compassion, Samuel Pepys captures the uniquely fascinating figure whose legacy lives on more than three hundred years after his death.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:26 -0400)
"For ten years, from 1660, Samuel Pepys kept one of the most remarkable records ever made of a human life. With astounding candour and perceptiveness he described his ambitions and speculations, his professional success and failures, his pettinesses and meannesses, his tenderness towards his wife and the irritation and jealousies she provoked, his extramarital longings and fumblings, his coolly critical attitude towards the king he served and his watchful adaptation to the corrupt and treacherous life of the court"--BOOK JACKET.… (more)
