In a follow on from my 'Why Camilla must become our Queen' post last week, a lot of comments raised the question of why Prince Philip isn't king, despite the wife of a king being a queen. On the face of it, it seems bizarre, almost sexist, though in this post I'll explain exactly why Prince Philip isn't king and why the wife of a king is always a queen.
Under English common law, a wife traditionally takes her husband's name and rank upon marriage and as a title legally forms part of one's name in most cases, titles within the Royal Family work in much the same way as if an untitled couple were to marry and the wife took her husband's name as her own.
Perhaps the best example of this in action is with Prince Michael of Kent and his wife. Upon his marriage to the then Marie Christine von Reibnitz in 1978, she assumed the female form of his title and became Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent.
Other titles in the Royal Family work on a similar basis. For example, the wife of The Duke of Cambridge is known as The Duchess of Cambridge. Had Prince William not been granted the Dukedom for his marriage, she would have become Princess William of Wales.
On the other hand, when a female Royal marries, the case is much different. If the woman's title ranks higher than her husband's already, she retains this title. This is the case for Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal. If she didn't hold her own title, she would be styled as Lady Laurence as her husband is a knight though because knights rank (way) below the Royal Family, Princess Anne retains her title.
The instance of Princess Anne also demonstrates how the use of titles by marriage is very much a one-way-street. A husband cannot generally take the male form of his wife's title on marriage, whatever her rank.
It's a quirk of common law that goes right the way to the top. Prior to acceding to the throne, The Queen held the title HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh which was the female form of her husband's title, though as the title of Queen ranks higher than Duchess (and because the Sovereign cannot hold peerages and the like), she no longer used the title of Duchess of Edinburgh, whilst The Duke of Edinburgh – to whom the title was issued – continued without any change to his own title.
Whilst this is not the only reason why the husband of a Queen isn't a King, it is certainly the main one. There is also the issue of rank. Queen Victoria thought that the title of "Duke" was the 'proper title' for a holder of a title, which is why Her present Majesty is known as Duke of Lancaster and not Duchess.
Whether or not the status quo should be maintained in terms of titles is a matter which has reached right into Parliament on numerous occasions. A bill in the House of Lords at the moment, the Equality (titles) Bill seeks to give husbands of female peers their own courtesy title, though interestingly not one in parallel with their wife's – rather they will receive the title of 'The Honourable' as things stand.
The issue of making the wives of Kings, Princess Consorts to equalise the issue was discussed during the Succession to the Crown Act readings in the Commons though never made it into the final bill.
As things stand, The Duchess of Cornwall will automatically become Queen when Prince Charles accedes to the throne – with Clarence House still pushing forward with the idea that legislation will be passed to reduce her to the title of Princess Consort.
The matter of titles and how the use of them is regulated is, however, ongoing and new questions are being raised over their use all the time. Who's to say future consorts of Queens might not end up as Kings?
Give your view in the comments box below. Should the wife of a king be a queen? Or even, should the husband of a queen be made a king?

There seems to be no Equality
It seems throughout history that the female monarchs did not grant their husbands the title king for the simple reason that as the rightful successor to the throne they out ranked all others. Therefore granting their husband's the title of King would put them in a lesser position and give them equal authority. Perhaps that was one of the reasons Elizabeth1 chose not to marry. Even as recently as the 1950s when the current Queen ascended the throne the notion that the wife was somehow inferior, and her father gave her her orders before Phillip so she would out rank him. It appearsthat the specific title is granted by the sovereign and is not automatic. Even Victoria did not grant her beloved Albert the title of King.
I admire him quite seriously! But frankly he's lucky to be a prince and a duke. He'd be a long retired navy officer from a disenfranchised royal family, title of prince he had then actually meaning literally nothing, without King George and Queen Elizabeth II. All of his four sisters married Nazi's and George VI and Queen Elizabeth weren't all that fond of the idea of Philip marring their daughter. He has been a wonderful consort, however.
He was granted the title of Prince of the United Kingdom
Keep in mind, Victoria wanted Albert to be granted the title of King, but the government was very much against it.
Although there are always exceptions, Queen Mary granted Philip of Spain the title of King of England, and William of Orange was granted the title of King through his wife Queen Mary II, and continued to rule as King after her death
Queen Mary lived at a time where King Philip had equal rights to her so he was a sovereign king of England and had equal rights in ruling the country on their marriage as for William, he was King in his own right they were both given the crown not just Mary II
Philip didn't have equal rights to the English Throne, she specifically had to grant him the Crown Matrimonial giving them to him, and they ended with Mary's death. William was only invited BECAUSE he was married to the legitimate Protestant Heir Mary Stuart, they were invited to become Joint Monarchs because of her lineage, not his. His army was what they wanted and sweetened the deal for him.
King William had a legitimate claim to the throne being that in addition to being married to Mary Stuart he was also a grandson of Charles I. Therefore they were first cousins. That's why he was able to rule in his own right after Mary died.
In the case of William and Mary it's not so much an exception. William III was made king in his own right by Parliament. Philip of Spain however wasn't. He was king-consort and not a reigning king.
The reason the husband of a Queen Regnant is not a King Consort is pure sexism. It assumes that "king" is automatically higher than "queen" because "king" is masculine.
Don't think so. The trouble is that a lot of men like to be head of their households. Having a ruling queen as a wife can go against the grain. Philip II was a king in his own right, and he was more interested in Mary Tudor for political advantage, which was against what the English wanted. Even William III, who did have a legitimate claim to the throne, tended to give orders. Of the three Prince Consorts, Prince Albert was probably the most influential in his day. Even the Duke of Edinburgh has protested against the limitations placed on him by his position.
When Mary I married, her husband Philip of Spain was known as king consort. When Mary Queen of Scots married Darnley, he was titled King. It wasn't until Queen Anne that the English Queen's husband was not styled king. (Mary II's husband was actually offered the throne with her.) One (of many) reason attributed to Elizabeth I not marrying was that her advisers did not want any of her romantic interests to become king.
James Stuart, Lord Darnley, was officially King Consort, but had no actual power. Which rather pissed off the impetus lad. He got all hotheaded, and look where *that* got him? Philip of Spain was King Consort of England, but he was enormously unpopular and did little to rock the boat. Thought, he did help keep Elizabeth Tudor alive. Queen Anne husband, Prince George of Denmark and Norway, was a younger son. She wasn't expected to be Queen, and thus, the marriage contract made no provision for a kingly title. Prince Albert was a second son of a very small German duchy. And not a popular choice. Lord Melbourne advised the Queen not to grant him the title of King Consort, and Parliament wouldn't grant him a peerage.
I suppose the reason male royal consorts aren't kings boils down to; it wasn't a good idea at the time.
I think we may be starting to see some of these kinds of things phase out, and I certainly expect it to speed up as time goes on. I don't know how Charles will be as King (though I suspect he'll be more traditional – in today's sense – like HM), but William has shown a desire to update these kinds of rules, starting with having the laws of succession changed so that his first born child, whether male or female, would be the heir to throne. I think that's a fairly good glimpse into how William will run the monarchy.
There was a push to change succession laws, which started with Gordon Brown's government, and which was a main topic at the 2011 Perth CHOGM. There was a bit of a sense of urgency before 23rd July 2013, when Prince George was born. But now everything has died down, since this baby is 3rd in line to the throne, whoever else is born . Could we please have an article on the current state of this bill of accession? I'd like to know if it has been ratified across the Commonwealth, for example.
I thought that it was a done deal but it came to the house at the next sitting to be looked at again. So it is not totally passed. This floored as everyone made the assumption that it was signed and sealed. I would say it would be sure to past because they will be stormed.
The change in succession was not of William's doing, actually, though I'm sure he's happy about it.
Actually titles are not regulated by law or by Parliament, the monarchy, who is the "font" is in charge of titles, and requires nothing more than to issue Letters Patent in order to be able to decide on titles. For example, when Edward VII abdicated and was retitled "HRH The Duke of Windsor" upon marriage Wallis would have automatically became "HRH The Duchess of Windsor", but King George VI, under pressure from his wife and his mother Queen Mary issued the letters denying Wallis the use of the HRH before her name but allowed her to be Her Grace instead. Just as Sarah, Duchess of York upon her divorce was for a short period of time still able to be HRH Sarah, Duchess of York, but on the day that Diana and Charles divorced, the Queen issued Letters revoking the HRH of Sarah, and not extending them to Diana, but effectively changed her title then to Diana, Princess of Wales (the first and so far ONLY time in British history of a non-royal title of Princess). Neither of those required the government to do anything. Just as the Queen legally still retains the right and power to issue a title to any person without consent of Parliament. That is her prerogative, and one of her remaining powers and no one can stop that. Just as she remade Philip into a Prince again- he was HRH Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, he renounced the title to become Lt. Philip Mountbatten, on his wedding day he was given the title HRH The Duke of Edinburg- making him royal again, but not a Prince, after she became Queen, HM issued letters and renamed him Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh. A courtesy she also extended to two of her aunts, once their sons had married instead of remaining the dowager duchess of ….. She allowed them to be called Princess Marina Duchess of Kent (which she legally retained the right to be Princess anyway as she was born Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark) and Princess Alice Duchess of Gloucester, both were allowed to use change their name with the Queen's blessing only.
Whilst you're right that the Sovereign is the font of all honour, Parliament does regulate titles (as Parliament can regulate for anything) and has done in the past. For example, the title of Duke of Cornwall is legally ascribed the the heir & eldest son of Sovereign, Queen cannot change this herself. The title of Queen Consort is also laid down by law.
If you ever get old demon camilla as queen, I will feel sorry for you all, I notice that you put such nonsense on prince philp page and not on the queen page! old demon camilla parker bowles most had her touchcy friend prince philip to do it. and poor hen peck charles jush follow. most of all charles mistake is because he does what demon camilla tell him to ! He look like he is honor his mother trying to get on the good side but when he get in he will be like a warlock and put both queen elizabeth and prince philp away
Well, it is a hereditary title. Don't suppose Parliament can change it either…
Like I said, Parliament can regulate for anything – including titles.
suppose so.
but the law never changed
Wow, quite insightful and brilliantly researched.
Thank you!
When Charles accedes the throne his wife should be the Duchess of Cornwall.As leader of the Church of England he needs to lead in Church behaviours-. He took Camilla to wife,in the physical sense when his wife, Diana was alive. While recognising that this kind of behaviour seems acceptable these days, the leader of a church….whther queen,pope or whatever,needs to uphold the standards of that church.
Oh relax. The only reason he didn't marry Camilla back then was that his mother wouldn't allow it and forced him to marry Diana. He didn't even like her that much and look what a mess that became. Charles should have married Camilla in the late 70s because that's who he was in love with. They're clearly soul mates, they're still together after all this time. the title is ultimately unimportant. They're not going to be king and queen for very long. Just let them have it and let it go.
the reason he could not marry camilla was because she was anot virgin
I know. We can see how forcing those out-dated ideas didn't work out. can't we? You should marry the person you love… not the person half your age your mother chooses for you.
you are correct
I he had proposed to Camilla when they were young there probably wouldn't be a problem. He drug his feet and went away to do his required service to his country and while gone she married Barker-Bowles. She probably thought he didn't wish to marry her. I think he was still in love with Camilla that's why he didn't marry until forced by the family and probably to who. It makes sense that the head of the Church should not have a Queen who is divorced and still has her former husband living. She agreed that she would accept the title of the King's Consort before they married and this was a part of it being allowed. I clearly remember her saying she was marry him for love not for title.
well it doesn't matter what you want, the law is very clear , she will be Queen
British Idiots F the queen that ugly old bat
"Whilst this is not the only reason why the wife of a Queen isn't a king, it is certainly the main one."
The jump to same sex marriages was sudden.
I would have thought the wife of a Queen would be a Queen however this wouldn't be the case. However the husband of a King would have to be a King – this could get complicated as it could mean two houses being in power at same time.
She is Queen through her bloodline and her husband can not be King because he is not of a higher blood line to her. She was in line to be monarch.
A bit more serious observation is that I believe the husband of Queen Mary I was known as King Philip although I believe that was because he already had the title King Philip II of Spain. Elizabeth I was never married, Queen Anne's spouse was Prince George and Queen Victoria's spouse was Prince Albert. It is an eccentricity in the law that needs to be corrected at some point.
The reason that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh is not "King" is merely because his wife is "King". That sounds strange to a PC generation .. but it is a fact. The sovereign can be male or female but the office remains the same.
First of all, HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, who is also legally The Princess of Wales, should be styled as HM The Queen, should her husband accede to the throne. All this public rancor over what should be a private matter between Diana, Charles, Camilla and Tom is silly and accomplishes nothing. Their marriage received the blessing of the Church of England following the civil marriage, so that settles any religious questions. If previous monarchs had been held to the strict morality so many seem to want to impose on HRH The Prince of Wales, the UK's last monarch would have been Victoria, assuming we excuse the sexual peccadilloes of her predecessors on the throne.
Secondly, Scottish tradition allowed for Lord Darnley to become King Henry, but only in right of his wife. Upon her death, he would have ceased to be king, unless she granted him the crown matrimonial, for which he hankered, but which Mary denied him (smartly).
Camilla is not the princess of wales because only the person who is to become Queen can take that title. When William becomes Prince of Wales, Catherine will be the Princess of Wales exactly as Diana. Charles and Camilla had a Civil Ceremony and then walked the isle together to have the marriage blessed but it was not a Royal Wedding. This really didn't give her any higher title. She was tremendously happy to marry the man she loved.
She should be queen that is the proper protocol regardless of the church of England! Religion is a choice unlike being born a royal. Theoretical the church of England doesn't agree with me my husband and child and look we are living a perfectly good life. So yes why should she have to resort to a lower title. If Charles had married as a widow the we wouldn't be having this conversation!
My question is, if a man becomes king because of his wife's title as queen, would they be of equal standing?
Doesn't a Princess outrank a Duke or Duchess? If so, before ascending to the throne, why was Princess Elizabeth HRH The Duke of Edinburgh?
Before her ascension, she was titled HRH The Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh
Not always. Duke/Duchess is also the title of a sovereign (and sovereign is the highest rank) just like King/Queen in a Monarchy/Kingdom when the country is consider a duchy. The Queen of England is also the Duke/Duchess of Normandy. In Normandy not being part of England, the Queen is the Duchess (Duke) not the Queen in a manner of speaking. It is confusing because the title Duke is used for a rank less than sovereign in a Monarchy/Kingdom. Its kind of like asking which is higher King or Emperor (or Archduke)?
It was my understanding that there are two forms of "queen" a queen in her own right is in fact King (using the female version Queen) a consort is queen but subject to her King.
Great post with wonderful insight. Thank you! xo
there is only one real KING that believe in – King Lebron James, or "King James"….and if he marries, the wife will be called, "Lifetime Ticketholder" to the King's games.
It is correct that Prince Philip should be Prince Consort, and he has done a wonderful job supporting the Queen. I can't see this a problem. I wouldn't like to see the Duchess of Cornwall as Queen, there are a lot of problems that come with Prince Charles and for the good of the Monarchy I wish there was a way to make William the next King as it is much less controversial and world wide the Monarchy would go down a lot better.
Did not Edward the 3rd have to abitate the thrown to Wallis Simpson a twice divorced woman? King George had to step into his place with no training and this is how Princess Elizabeth became Queen. I don't understand how Prince Charles should not have had to do the same thing to marry the divorced Camilla.
You can not compare the Queen with Prince Charles. Yes he will become king but Camila should be Princess Consort. She is the second wife and therefore should not be entitled to the title of Queen. That title was for Princess Diana. I only hope parliament thinks the same way. Camila booted out Princess Diana by making Charles an adulterer. Camila was no better in her role in this either.
I think you should define the differense between a Female King anf a Queen,
very interesting , thank you for clearing this up.
In my opinion, Camila doesn't deservr to be a queen, because she es a divorce woman, she was the lover fir many years, not the wife. Diana deserved to be the queen !!!!
Sincerely hope that Charles never becomes King because I could not stand Camilla being queen. If the queen lives long enough she might outlive Charles. Yes, he should have married her and not Diana but he did marry Diana and he should have been faithful to her and let his horsey Camilla go. I have no respect for either of them.

Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin's album "Templum" features the theme from
In Search of Ancient Ireland
The CD is available through
Virgin Records
"The Irish are Celtic culturally but not archeologically."
You've said that the Irish aren't really Celtic. Why?
The Celtic myth is really quite a modern invention. In the 19th century, a Celtic revival in Ireland seized on the old myths and legends as a way to give Ireland its own national character, separate from the "occupying" English. But these myths and legends were actually created more than a thousand years earlier by Christian monks and scholars who reinvented earlier folk memories as a way to Christianize a pagan country.
Central to these myths is that Celtic warriors invaded Ireland from Europe around 500 B.C. Archeological evidence clearly shows this never happened. Yet it is undeniable that Ireland developed a Celtic culture and language. Historians now believe this spread from Europe over hundreds of years, an invasion of ideas rather than people. So the Irish are Celtic culturally but not archeologically. They have little connection with the Celtic tribes who ruled most of Europe prior to the triumph of the Roman Empire.
What about Saint Patrick? Did he really use a shamrock to convert the Irish to Christianity and expel all the snakes in Ireland?
St. Patrick did not have a great impact on Ireland during his lifetime.
Patrick was a real person -- we can even read his letters -- born in Roman Britain and first brought to Ireland as a slave. He later returned as a missionary in the middle of the 5th century, but he was only one of many early missionaries. Since Ireland was still largely pagan after his death, he doesn't seem to have had much of an impact during his lifetime.
However, one church founded by Patrick -- at Armagh -- had ambitions centuries later to become the leading church of Ireland. This meant convincing everyone that its founder was Ireland's most important saint. Armagh created a legend around Patrick and allied itself with a ruling dynasty until at last it became the senior church in Ireland. So Patrick became the senior Irish saint -- and the center of a heroic fiction. As for the snakes, Ireland never had any, although the story of their expulsion is a good parable about casting out pagan beliefs. And the shamrock? That story comes from the Middle Ages, a thousand years after Patrick's death.
What other misconceptions do we have about Irish history?
We think of Ireland as a small country off the west of Europe, yet there've been many times when Ireland stood at the center of European culture. Around 800 B.C., it seems to have been the wealthiest place in Europe, its gold ornaments and beautiful bronze musical instruments unequalled anywhere north of Egypt. By the 10th century, no royal court in Europe thought itself civilized unless it had Irish scholars advising its king. After the fall of Rome, Ireland kept the light of civilization alive in Europe and ultimately carried it back to new barbarian kingdoms rising among the ruins.
This small island has had a tremendous impact throughout history. A Viking king in Dublin came close to uniting all of England and Scotland under his rule. Just imagine a British Isles ruled from Dublin. I think audiences will find most of what they think they know about Ireland is a misconception. That's what makes the series so exciting.

1995 Mercedes-Benz S420 Q&A
1995 Mercedes-Benz S420 Question: Jump started car, many problems now.
My father came over this morning to jump start my dead battery. He hooked up the cables backwards on his car,(negative to positive) put the cables on my car and I noticed it smoking (the cables). I immediately took the cables off my battery. Once we started the car I took off for work. As I'm driving down the freeway I notice my speedometer is not working, gas milage gage not working, and my climate control is flipping out. Did we cause all this with the battery cables being hooked up backwards? - Visitor
Answer 1
Unfortunately yes, and in defense of your father, this does happen quite often. Hooking up jumper cables backwards can cause many electrical issues. The first thing I suggest you do is check all of the fuses. Hopefully some of the electrical components may have been saved by the fuses blowing. Your vehicle owners manual will tell you the location of all of the fuse panels and the function of the fuses. I suggest checking all of the fuses, even if there listed component appears to be working. Most likely, some components will have been damaged and will need to be replaced. Here is a link to help you find a shop to get your repairs done: http://repairpal.com/directory. In addition, Mercedes-Benz has a lifetime road side assistance program. Jump starts and tire changes(fitting the spare tire) are free and performed by trained technicians. Although you may have to wait a bit for them, it will prevent this from ever happening again. - JParsons

NEW YORK (AP) — A baby delivered after his parents were killed in a Brooklyn hit-and-run accident died early Monday, a community spokesman said.
Isaac Abraham, who serves as a spokesman for the family's Orthodox Jewish community, said the child died around 5:30 a.m.
Police were searching for the driver of a BMW and a passenger who fled on foot after slamming into a livery cab, killing the young pregnant woman and her husband.
"This guy's a coward and he should pay his price," said Abraham, adding that the community wants a homicide prosecution.
Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, were looking forward to welcoming their first child into their tight-knit community of Orthodox Jews.
The horrific crash happened in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn as the couple headed to a hospital.
The engine of the livery car ended up in the backseat, where Raizy Glauber, who was seven months pregnant, was sitting before she was ejected, Abraham said. Her body landed under a parked tractor-trailer, said witnesses who raced to the scene after the crash. Nachman Glauber was pinned in the car, and emergency workers had to cut off the roof to get him out, witnesses said.
The Glaubers both were pronounced dead at hospitals, and the medical examiner said they died of blunt-force trauma. Doctors had delivered the baby by cesarean section.
Neighbors and friends said the boy weighed only about 4 pounds. The Glaubers' livery cab driver was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and was later released. Both the driver of the BMW and a passenger fled and were being sought, police said.
Meanwhile, police said the registered owner of the BMW, who was not in the car, was charged with insurance fraud. Police said Takia Walk, 29, was arrested Sunday. They did not have any details regarding the charge.
On Saturday, Raizy Glauber "was not feeling well, so they decided to go" to the hospital, said Sara Glauber, Nachman Glauber's cousin. Abraham said the Glaubers called a car service because they didn't own a car, which is common for New Yorkers.
The Glaubers were married about a year ago and had begun a life together in Williamsburg, where Raizy Glauber grew up in a prominent Orthodox Jewish rabbinical family, Sara Glauber said.
Raised north of New York City in Monsey, N.Y., and part of a family that founded a line of clothing for Orthodox Jews, Nachman Glauber was studying at a rabbinical college nearby, said his cousin.
Brooklyn is home to the largest community of ultra-Orthodox Jews outside Israel, more than 250,000. The community has strict rules governing clothing, social customs and interaction with the outside world. Men wear dark clothing that includes a long coat and a fedora-type hat and often have long beards and ear locks.
Jewish law calls for burial of the dead as soon as possible, and hours after their deaths, the Glaubers were mourned by at least 1,000 people at a funeral outside the Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar synagogue.
Afterward, the cars carrying the bodies left and headed to Monsey, where another service was planned in Nachman Glauber's hometown.

Premium Gem Proof 1852 Dime1852 10C PR66 PCGS. CAC. Walter Breen has estimated that about eight pieces were struck of the 1852 dime. When we offered the Phil Kaufman Collection coin, PR67 Cameo NGC, in our ANA Platinum Night (Heritage, 7/2008), lot 1822, we published a census that enumerated only six different examples that we could trace today. The Kaufman Collection coin realized $32,200.
The Sole Finest at PCGS
The Sole Finest at PCGS
The 1989 Breen Proof Encyclopedia lists the diagnostics of the single proof die known, diagnostics visible on both the Kaufman piece and the present coin:
"Shield point over left tip of serif of 1, skirt pendant well to r. of center of top of 5, left base of 1 over left edge of dentil, rev. marked striae pointing southeast."
Although Breen does not note it, we mention that the AM in AMERICA are practically joined by a thin canal of metal, while there is broad separation between the M and E. This Premium Gem proof exhibits deeply mirrored fields with intense rose centers and cobalt-blue margins on both sides. There are no obvious marks, and both the CAC endorsement and our impression confirm that this is a piece of superior quality, certainly among the finest known or perhaps the single finest known.
The PCGS Population Report lists five pieces ranging from PR62 to a single PR66 -- the present coin, which is clearly the finest at that service. NGC shows eight pieces in its Census Report, including one Cameo example. Both of those reports, however, are rife with duplications (11/11).
Ex: Likely the Turtle Rock Collection specimen certified PR66 PCGS (Superior, 2/2008), lot 504, which realized $44,850. We lack access to that catalog so the likelihood is based solely on the identical grade, without plate-matching. (NGC ID# 23C8, PCGS# 4739)

LSI Bochum - learning languages intensively
Favorite thing: I spent 6 weeks in Bochum altogether, three times 2 weeks. There is this institute in Bochum called the LSI, Landesspracheninstitut. There you can rent a room at the institute (very nice rooms) and take intensive language courses, in difficult languages only: Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
The courses are really well worth it. The teachers are excellent, the material, too, and you have about 7 hours of classes plus homework. It's a lot of work, but you learn so much - probably more than in a language course abroad. And it never feels too much because it's actually fun.
My Arabic got a real boost every time I went there. And I always met nice people.
The courses come at a reasonable price, especially for students. I paid abozt 250 euros for the course and 200 for accomodation. That is for two weeks.
I recommend this wholeheartedly!
Fondest memory: www.lsi-nrw.de

Bochum official
Maps, tickets and a lot of information...
Favorite thing: There is even a Tourist Information in Bochum!
It's located at Huestrasse. Easy to find as you just have to leave the railway station through its main entrance/ exit and cross the street. As soon as you enter the shopping area, have a nice ice-cream at San Marco which is to your right (you won't regret!) and only then proceed to the Tourist Information, which is situated to your left at the next corner.
Come and just be yourself
Favorite thing: Bochum is not the most fashionable place to be but it is a great place to live.
If you are planning to study in Germany, Bochum might be THE place for you.
In Bochum there are many pubs, restaurants and other places worth a visit.

The Aquadrom is in the Ruhrpark, abit outside of Bochum but a busline is going there directly.

Favorite thing: RUB - Ruhr-Uni Bochum This is the architectural 'pearl' where I'm spending most of my time these days, studying English and History. I'll add more info later, when I have more pictures taken. Don't ask me why, but I feel kinda odd running around like some tourist with a camera at uni ;oPWhat you see in this picture is only a very small part of the whole campus. All in all, there are 4x3 (actually it's 3x3 and 1x4) of these box like buildings. These here are the buildings that belong to the medicine men =0). Check out the University-travelogue to read and see more (if you want to). ;oP
City ticket and tourist info

OLPC Announces XO-3 Tablet
Tablet to cost US$ 75, aimed toward US children.
The One Laptop Per Child Foundation announced plans for a US$ 78 tablet to be revealed at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. Marvell Technologies will partner with OLPC to create the necessary hardware.
The tablet, called the XO-3, will come equipped with an ARM processor and run Android during its prototype phase before becoming an open Linux platform. The XO-3 will also have a screen at least nine inches diagonal and while the initial model will be glass, a dual display for both indoor and outdoor viewing built by Pixel Qi is planned for the 2012 version.
OLPC is aiming the device at children in developed countries. Nicholas Negroponte, the chairman of One Laptop Per Child has high hopes for the device, hoping that it will merge the functionality of an iPad, Kindle and an iPad, all while staying keeping costs low. Negroponte was confident at hitting the price point, but OLPC has had a spotty pricing record in the past.
A reference design for the XO-3 featured Marvell's Armada 610 processor, though no ARM chip has been confirmed.

Welcome Message from the Dean
Dear Colleagues,
Allow me to extend to all of you the warmest welcome to the College of Arts and Sciences for the 2012-2013 academic year! Most welcome, of course, are our newest faculty, staff, and students. The College is hiring 28 new or replacement faculty and staff members this year.
We are indebted to Donna LaVoie, Associate Dean for Planning and Resources, who interviewed and negotiated the contracts with all incoming faculty. Donna developed the workload policy that has been very helpful in annual faculty evaluations and ensured that faculty can integrate their workload with
their interests. Donna has also done very well at strengthening the cases that we needed to make to hire faculty and staff replacement positions. In addition, she has also been procuring resources (e.g., computer, classroom technology) and seeing to it that new faculty receive their start-up funding. Finally, she has been active with a University Committee that has been spelling out the outcomes we expect for all our undergraduate students throughout the University.
Stephen Dina, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, ensures that requirements are clearly stated and met, updates the undergraduate catalog, monitors all graduation certification, answers student inquiries, and serves as liaison with the Office of the Registrar.
Assistant Dean Denise Sleet organizes all SLU101 sessions, supervises all the College-wide advisors, and along with Professor Janet Kuebli, she has been working on ways to improve the advising and mentoring of our students.
We would like to welcome to the Dean's staff a new Associate Dean for Graduate Education, Janet Barber, who comes to the office with widespread recommendation from many people in the College and several years of experience as the Director of Graduate Students for the Department of Biology, in which she performed with excellence. Jan will meet with the Associate Deans for Graduate Education from the various Schools and Colleges in the University, support graduate student research, look for ways to strengthen and increase the graduate assistantships, and improve graduate education in general.
The College is doing very well winning grants. The College of Arts and Sciences reports 68 grants. The Office of Research Development and Services reports in FY 2012 grants totaling $3,106,843. Faculty in the College have produced over 467 works (including performances, books, and peer-reviewed articles). The College is an extremely productive institution.
As far as the enrollment data (August 22, 2012) is concerned, the University enrollment of incoming freshmen stands at 1,544 compared to 1,651 last year at this time, but the College of Arts and Sciences total undergraduate enrollment is at 2,506, 98% of its enrollment last year at this time. In addition, the College retention rate between freshmen and sophomore year is at 88.1%, which is almost 2% higher than last year-perhaps a record. In addition the ACT average for our undergraduate students across the University has climbed to 27.3 - again very good news.
There are many challenges we face in the year to come. Of course, we are constantly on the alert for ways to improve the quality and quantity of our research. The College has been very involved in several creative strategies and collaborations. Several of us are pursuing discussions on a project in STEM+ project that involves careful space planning that will be implemented in the anticipated moves the College will make when the Law School moves. As examples of the creative ways in which the College has been collaborating with other institutions, all three of the $50,000 intercollegial Presidential Research grants included Arts and Sciences faculty as investigators. Several of our departments and programs received national accreditation, and many of our departments are ranked within the top 100 in their discipline.
Thanks to the presence of a new Web Content Developer, Jeremy Nagle, the College hopes to revise and update the Arts and Sciences Website, which has not been altered much since 2001. In addition, we plan to work more closely with its graduate students, to integrate more smoothly the advising and mentoring functions of the College, to standardize the various stipends given for leadership positions (e.g., directors of graduate and undergraduate studies, chairs and directors, etc.), and to increase the public visibility of the College, particularly through web renovations. We have updated all the faculty records in Activity Insight which makes available data of faculty performances in scholarship and service, and we will be collecting our own data as a College. For strategic planning this year, the College departments and programs will be refining their benchmark studies and the Faculty Council Academic Affairs Committee will study benchmark institutions in the areas of research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and mission.
Though we face many challenges in the year to come, the College of Arts and Sciences has been living up to its long tradition of hard work, creative teaching and research, impressive achievement, and a spirit of generosity and service that is manifested by faculty and staff alike. There is no question that we will live up to this wonderful tradition in the academic year to come.
Michael D. Barber, S.J.
College of Arts and Sciences Web Content Developer
Please welcome Jeremy Nagle who has joined the College of Arts and Sciences as our Web Content Developer! Jeremy will be designing, revising and updating the College of Arts and Sciences website.

Name Change Announced for the Reinert Center for Teaching Excellence
Beginning on July 1, the Paul C. Reinert, S.J. Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) formally changed its name to the Paul C. Reinert, S.J. Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning (CTTL). With the name change will come other changes, as well, including a new website and
email address.
The new name signals a new phase of growth and development for the Center; in the 15 years since it was founded by SLU faculty, the Center has become an important resource for helping educators create transformational learning experiences at the University. Serving full-time faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and other instructors at SLU, the CTTL offers a broad range of programs and services focused on the formation and transformation of teachers,
learners, and learning environments. Importantly, with its focus on transformative teaching and learning, the new name foregrounds the importance both of Jesuit educational traditions and values and of the educational innovations demanded of a 21st-Century university. (To find out more about the new name, read this blog posting by Dr. Debra Lohe, the Center's Director, at www.slu.edu/cttl.)
Along with the name change, the Center also is unveiling a new website, featuring, among other things, a new blog, The Notebook. Since 1998, The Notebook has functioned as the Center's quarterly newsletter; the new format offers a more timely, more dynamic way to inform the SLU community about upcoming Center events and to highlight evidence-based research on effective teaching and learning, among other things. While the site is still in its early formation, it will eventually feature much more original content and pedagogical resources developed by CTTL staff and SLU faculty.
This fall, the Center will hold a reception to celebrate its 15th anniversary and its new name.Please come join us as we celebrate the past, look ahead to the future, and welcome SLU's new faculty.

Urban Wanderers
An Art Exhibition in Partnership with
Stray Rescue of St. Louis
The Exhibit can be viewed through September 16
The Saint Louis University Museum of Art
3633 Lindell Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63108
After shattering opening night attendance records in 2011, the Saint Louis University Museum of Art, in partnership with Stray Rescue of St. Louis, is pleased to announce the 2012 installment of Urban Wanderers.
The theme of this year's highly anticipated fundraising event will focus on the survivors of Stray Rescue - innocent dogs and cats that have suffered shocking abuse, neglect and abandonment. Due to the efforts of the dedicated staff of Stray Rescue, these innocent victims of unspeakable cruelties are protected, sheltered and loved for the remainder of their lives.
"The theme throughout the exhibition will be one of hope, showing that the majority of these companion animals survive the very harsh city streets to have the most loving, attentive, gentle, and playful personalities," said Randy Grim, Founder of Stray Rescue.
The focus of the show also has an essential educational component, giving Stray Rescue a platform on which to present the public with facts about the animal abuse and neglect the organization combats on an almost daily basis.
Regional and national artists will paint, photograph, and sculpt a Stray Rescue dog that has been abandoned, abused or neglected, and shelter dogs will also create works of art using their paws, tails and noses.
Urban Wanderers is sponsored by Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and Barret's Buddies.
About Stray Rescue of St. Louis
Stray Rescue's mission is to lead the way towards making St. Louis a compassionate city where every companion animal knows health, comfort, and affection, and no stray is euthanized merely because he or she has been abandoned, abused or neglected.
As part of its mission, the devoted staff and volunteeers of Stray Rescue take a progressive, proactive approach to establishing a permanent resolution to the stray animal problem. Through their dedicated rescue efforts, community outreach programs and the promotion of responsible pet guardianship, these innocent victims are able to to begin a their new journey ... free of pain, and full of life.

The form language is very cool indeed. I would say however that the wings could do with a bit more attention. I know angel wings are supposed to be very majestic, but these wings should at least look powerful. It looks like they could snap with a slight nudge. But yeah nice design

City Streets (Paramount, 1931). One Sheet (26 X 39.5") Style A.
View movie details on IMDB
View large image(s) of this item
Based on a story by renowned hard-boiled crime author Dashiell Hammett and directed by Rouben Mamoulian (in his second turn in the director's chair), this is the story of The Kid (Gary Cooper ), a shooting gallery showman, who falls in love with Nan (Sylvia Sidney), the daughter of mob boss Pop Cooley (Guy Kibbee). When Nan takes the rap for a murder committed by her father, The Kid joins Pop's gang in order to help gain Nan's freedom, and things go downhill from there, ending with a thrilling high-speed car chase.
The role of Nan was originally intended for Clara Bow, and, indeed, represented the last of five pictures she was contractually obligated to make for Paramount. However, a major nervous breakdown brought on by the pressures of fame, overwork, numerous public scandals, and an intense and very hurtful lawsuit against her former secretary and confidante Daisy DeBoe, led Bow to check herself into a sanatorium. Mercifully, Paramount released her from the final picture of her contract, giving the role to up-and-comer Sylvia Sidney instead in one of her earliest screen roles. As such, Bow's career was all but over, while Sidney's would continue to grow, coming to an end only with her death in 1999. The stunning stone litho one sheet offered here, which features portraits of Cooper and Sidney, is rendered in a full-bleed style that Paramount experimented with in the very early 1930s. For another example, see the Style B one sheet for Dishonored (1931), also offered in this auction. This particular gem had tears in the borders, image area, and background, as well as a chip in the top right corner, and one over Cooper's left eye. These minor flaws have all been addressed by expert professional restoration, returning this highly desirable beauty to a like-new appearance. From the Berwick Discovery. Fine+ on Linen.

Instead of Leasing properties, I will rather purchase the properties if I have the funding, CCN House is having a 5 year lease with option to purchase on these 5th Avenue properties , These properties are vacant, and will be available for move-in by January 2nd, 2011 . The second residence will be located in Long Beach close the VA Medical Center and will provide homes for an additional 25 veterans. The residence will open its doors in February 2nd, 2011.
