Hi :) An attempt to to hit the high...
Hi :) An attempt to to hit the high points....I am originally from Colorado and I love it here of course. I stay active and love to be outside. I like to bike, trail run, hike, climb mountains, practice yoga, and ski in particular, but am always up for trying new activities and I love adventures. I want to learn to swim and to cross country ski this winter. I have dabbled in bike racing and crossfit and would like to do more in the future. I wasn't able to travel abroad this year, but I really love to get away as long as possible and explore different cultures. I am planning a few trips for next year. Good nutrition and staying healthy are a big part of my life. I have slowly learned how to cook and now I really enjoy it. The kitchen often becomes my dance floor! I have also started gardening the last couple of summers, which is awesome! It is amazing how much food you can grow yourself. I am a big music fan and I like to dance, and anymore it seems like I have music on almost all the time. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I am not necessarily opposed to it. I like watching documentaries and good news programs. I also like watching sports, but don't usually plan my time around it. I don't drink very often, but don't mind going out with people to drink and such. I like to go to festivals and art shows, museums and other artsy stuff around town. Family and friends are very important to me and I make them a priority. I would like to be with someone that is open-minded about life and can find good in anything. I need someone that likes to stay in shape somehow and is open to enjoying the outdoors somehow as that is a big part of my life. I am looking for a deep connection and life long partnership. I enjoy challenging myself to always be growing and doing better and would love to be with someone to grow and change together. Life can get tough sometimes and it is wonderful to be with someone that can still help you laugh and see the best in things no matter what. Communication and the desire to adapt and always improve communication is very important to me also. Have a great day! -Nick

London Pass vs. 2 for 1
I know there are other threads about this but reading everything really has my head spinning. My wife and I are traveling to London March 21- March 28. This is an incentive trip that I earned through work. When we arrive in Heathrow, there will be people there to pick us up and take us to our hotel near Hyde Park. My initial thoughts about our itinerary were to buy a 7 day travelcard and I was considering the three day London Pass. I was considering the three day pass because one day will be tied up in meetings and I wanted to spend one day going to Greenwich and one day going to Bath. After looking at the 2 for 1 website, that seems like it may be a better deal. I initially thought my travelcard would work for this but now it seems like I'm wrong about that. Is there a way to buy a zone 1-2 pass that works with the 2 for 1 deal? Any other thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Rick doesn't even mention the 2 for 1 in his book so maybe it's not applicable.

One of the common feature requests for IronPython is to support static compilation. While the feature looks like a no-brainer initially, it does have a few wrinkles when you look at the details. Here are the different forms that a related question might look like?
This has several aspects related to compilation, with different folks caring about different aspects of the issue. To clarify the issues involved, here is the terminology I will use.
This blog is about the CLS compliant compilation aspect. While CLS compliance is a nice goal by itself, it is interesting to think of the different ways that the generated IL could be consumed.
I do want to provide people with some possible alternative solutions that might work for their scenarios in the meantime
Usage 3 above (Reflection on an object at runtime) seems like the main issue to me as the user is not trying to persist an assembly to disk (which is not Pythonic).
Also, some features might provide big bang for the buck (like custom attributes on types and members as required by LINQ to SQL), whereas supporting the full range of CLS features may not be warranted. I would be curious to hear of real world use-case of how people want to use "static compilation" to understand what the right design point is.
If you have run into a wall with trying to use IronPython because of one of the issues above, do leave a comment about your exact scenario, which libraries were involved, what your workaround was, etc.

I will tell you why I settled on that exact composition, and it was not because of any rules. I think what originally caught my eye was the visual relationship between the circle and star, and the circle with the line, however after looking through the camera, I realized there was much more to the image then that. If I had moved the camera even 1mm down, I would have lost those three screws in the top right corner, along with the little 45 degree angle in that corner and cropping into the circle of the star. If I had moved the camera up a hair, I would have cropped into that hindge in the bottom left corner, and I did not want that. If the camera was pointed anymore to the right, I would have cropped that one screw that is right in the center of the image on the left edge of the print, and I did not want that. Moving the camera to the left would have removed the two shapes that exist in both the top and bottom right corners.
So, these are the reason of composition on why this picture had to be EXACTLY this. I was not being influence by any rules or golden means, but rather just the act of looking through the camera's ground glass and seeing what was there. With any scene, there is endless possiblities, but for me...this was the exact photograph I wanted to create.

Ball Green
No. 75
Ball Green is a tribute to Richard Ball, the paint pioneer, who along with John Farrow first founded the company in Dorset, England. It is an old distemper colour with a more sober, established feel than fresh Cooking Apple Green. It has a magical quality of appearing almost silver in candlelight, so is great for use in dining rooms. Mid Tones Undercoat.
Ball Green 17 17
GREAT PAINT This paint is lovely to work with. Good consistency, coloured well over previous colour which was a cranberry. The Ball Green is like a very pale olive. It was spot on Farrow and Ball's colour chart. Can't say enough about it, just love, love,love!! 07 April 2015
The colour has a lovely historic feel Ball Green has lifted the room and given it back its historic charm that was lacking previously. 09 February 2015
WONDERFUL COLOUR I had my lounge and dining room decorated under our dado rail approximately 5 years ago. Time to redecorate and I would have liked something different but I can`t get away from the lovely effect it has so we will be using the same colour - we will just use a lighter colour above dado rail for a different finish. Don`t be put off by the colour chart it is a really gorgeous colour and goes with any home furnishings. 28 December 2014
Lovely coverage I needed two coats and the finish was smooth. The colour was better than I had expected from the colour on the tin. Very professional. 16 November 2014
Wonderful color This paint went on the walls beautifully. It initially looks lighter green when wet, but as the paint dries it takes on a beautiful subtle green shade. It is neither to dark nor "to green". We used eggshell finish and it added a warmth and depth to the entire room. 16 September 2014
An elegant colour Used this in my South facing dining room which has black & red Victorian quarry tiles & a large gritstone fireplace & it sets these off very well. Usual F & B thing of needing that extra coat to give the best results (even when using F & B undercoat of an almost identical colour) but am extremely satisfied with the overall result. 30 May 2014
Love IT We used this in the garden on our new games room, its perfect for softening the lines of the building and blending in with the surrounding area 30 April 2014
Beautiful colour Lovely colour that looks green in sunlight then soft grey or bone colour in the evening. In the picture I have used it with Olive Green on the walls, then Smoke Green and Churlish on the drawers. 23 April 2014

Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

From Hero To Bum—Almost
You can learn from your mistakes…if you can just survive them
|A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. Flying the first production Piper Mirage from Florida to Germany proved to be more than just a simple delivery.
Wilfred Otto of the Piper distributor in Germany was calling. Happens all the time when I'm in South Africa.
Wilfred asked if I'd be good enough to fly back to Vero Beach, Fla., and pick up the first production Piper Mirage for delivery to Kassel, Germany. Sure, I said, why not? I was between deadlines at the magazine, and there wasn't anything more exciting to do. I jumped on a South African Airways flight to London, changed to an American flight to Orlando and drove an Avis the last 100 miles to Vero Beach.
The Mirage was waiting, the first of the Lycoming-powered, 350 hp Malibus. After two days for tanking in Lakeland, I climbed aboard and headed north toward Bangor, Maine.
Talk about a change of climate. Lakeland was a balmy 22 degrees C when I departed, and predictably, things became progressively colder as I flew north. Level at FL210, I watched the temperature plummet well below minus-10 degrees C passing New York.
The temperature aloft was of little concern (I'd added Prist before departing Lakeland), but the temp on the ground was becoming downright frigid. As I picked up the Bangor ATIS from 100 miles out, they were reporting minus-25 degrees C.
I entered the pattern at BGR, selected gear down and watched as the three gear lights illuminated: one, two… Oh well, no big deal, I thought, it's just a little cold and stiff outside. I'll just recycle. I put the wheels back to bed, waited for a second and put the switch back down again. One, two…

In my 32 years, I've been a pretty lucky person. I was lucky enough to be born where the basic necessities of life – food, water, clothing, shelter – were something I never had to think about. Even at times when my health had seen better days and my immune system was my arch nemesis, I was lucky enough to have a job with insurance to help pay for the highly modern medicine and medical technology that ultimately allowed me to have my last seven birthdays.
This is why it's so devastating to me that something so simple such as access to clean water is a struggle for nearly a billion people on a daily basis. The video to your right will explain the current water situation for millions of people in developing countries and the inherent dangers that obtaining water holds.
It's a heartbreaking crisis, but hope comes from understanding just how incredibly fixable this situation is. This is why I've chosen to donate my birthday to Charity: water. and am encouraging my friends and family to help me help make a difference.
Please join me in raising $5,000 to help build water projects in developing nations so that 250 people who weren't born with the same luck as I was can have a taste of what it's like.

The Valenciana region
The Costa Blanca, known as the 'White Coast' of Spain with its miles of golden sandy beaches, is one of the most attractive and popular regions of Spain for visitors with a climate that is recognised as one of the best in the world by the World Health Organisation.
The attraction of this area lies in it's beauty - amazing blue Mediterranean waters, the spectacular mountains and waterfalls, the old towns and villages, the restaurants and bars - It's simply a wonderful place in which to enjoy life and feel rejuvenated and refreshed.
Benidorm is a fun place, perfect for a family holiday, from the young of age to the young at heart, Benidorm has something for everyone.
Benidorm is blessed with some excellent "blue flag" beaches. The very popular and long 'Levante Beach' is one of the best beaches in Europe with water sports during the day, lots of cafes and bars and plenty of night life for all ages. The quieter 'Poniente Beach' is just as big but more peaceful, perfect for relaxing in the sun. There's also the smaller beach of 'La Cala' just around the corner.
Benidorm is wonderful for shopping too with lots of very cheap gift and cloth shops to the more exclusive jewellery and fashionable ornament shops. Benidorm also has an indoor market open daily and a very large outdoor market on Wednesday and Sunday. A wide variety of bars and restaurants satisfy all tastes and budgets, you can find the traditional Spanish paella and tapas bars with local beers to the familiar English & Irish pub-grub, and the famous Ibrox bar for the Scottish.
Within Benidorm there are many hidden gems for the sightseer. A must see is the headland that divides the two beaches called 'Plaça del Castell'. This beautiful area is part of the original 'Old Town' with Benidorm church perched high on the raised cliff headland and the beautifully maintained tiled court area providing spectacular views of both beaches and the Mediterranean sea. Also a good view point for Benidorm Island, a wildlife reserve, with just one hotel restaurant-bar, accessible only by boat, there are many trips out to and around the island, to see the variety of land and sea life on offer at the reserve.
You will find a wide variety of entertainment within and around Benidorm, from Karaoke bars and numerous night clubs to the more exclusive 'Benidorm Palace' with their evening meal and cabaret.
There's lots of family holiday amusements, arcades, water sports, water parks, animal safari parks, 'Terra Mitica' Theme Park with roller-coasters and thrill rides, go-karting and much, much more.
If Golf's your thing, then Benidorm has a number of championship golf courses, putting greens and even crazy golf for the kids and family.
The question is how will you fit it all into just one holiday?

"Great for two families"
We travelled to Casa do Seunos for a summer sunshine holiday, the Villa is situated in a quiet area yet only 5 mins by car to large shopping centre and Supermarkets and 10 mins to the beach of Finnestrat.
The house itself was great for two families, good air con in most rooms, a huge underbuild room that had a ps2, loads of DVD's and a big telly for the kids to play on and watch films. The layour of the house was great for our two families, we were able to have a family holiday but still have our own space which was great.
There are 2 balconies to sit on and a terrace with loungers and a BBQ for those warm family evenings.
The House had good internet which is essential for our kids and streamed live UK channels on the lounge telly. The Kitchen was small but adequate and the BBQ was lovely on a balmy spanish evening. You really are only 45 seconds walk from the large communal pool which was never busy and we used a lot. .
We had two hire cars which worked out well and I would say a car is essential to holiday here.
If you are looking for a good comfortable and well equiped house for up to 8 people and you like a quiet location that is not too far from the attractions and beaches then you wont go far wrong at Case de Seunos

"Lovely Villa - Very Accommodating"
This was a lovely villa - so much space.
lovely and cool, the area was nice and quiet with just a small shop.
A short taxi ride to the shops and Benidorm itself.
Very clean and well maintained.
but most of all the chap who we booked the villa with was so accommodating, we got there early and they cleaned it ready and they lady who looks after the villa was going to meet us so we didn't get lost which we didn't. however we asked her just to meet us at the villa and she was there. we only wanted the villa for 4 nights and the owner went above and beyond to accommodate.

"finestrat villa"
nice villa. good location for climbing which is what we where doing. finestrat is a nice quiet village with some good restaurants. villa had nice bbq area and outdoor seating. rooms where nice and clean. good experience. would use again.
Thank you for your review.
We stay at the villa regularly and do like that you have the quiet tranquillity of Finestrat village on one side and the lively excitement of Benidorm on the other. Both within a short drive from the Urbanisation.
We must apologize if there was not enough toilet paper. Our cleaners are usually very good at making sure you should have everything you need. We will ensure this is double checked in future.

"Immaculately presented and well equipped"
A beautiful apartment set in a quiet and stunning location with views to the coast, a few minutes drive from Benidorm and local attractions, more than enough room for the 8 people in our party and so well equipped you would want for nothing extra! We particularly found the large downstairs room a blessing with it's large TV, internet access and games, the games console and extensive selection of board games and DVD's as it was somewhere the kids could be shut away so the adults could relax in peace and quiet!! We would all definitely return to this apartment given the opportunity.

"Great villa"
Everything was there that we needed. Plenty of kitchen utensils including coffee pots. It`s also very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The air conditioning went down and the owners had it fixed right away. The deposit was also returned without any problems.
There was a barbecue and seating/sunbathing area in the lower ground level. We never used them but they looked to be of a high quality.
As for the location, it`s in a lovely spot and it`s a quiet residential area. Just what we were looking for. You will need a car though unless you like walking a lot.
The pool is a 20 second walk away and was lovely. Very quiet and was hardly ever used while we were there.
The owners and their local rep` were extremely nice to deal with and took care of things for us.
Would I go back? I don`t usually go to the same location twice so no. Will I recommend my friends to go there....absolutely.

"Does exactly what it says on the tin"
Good quality, excellent value for money accommodation that was exactly as described and provided an excellent base for our holiday. Would recommend a car as local transport is infrequent but for those without it is only a short taxi ride down the hill to Carrefour and the local hub for Llorente Bus offering cheap frequent access to Benidorm.

"five star villa overlooking benidorm"
stayed at this beautiful villa only 10min drive from benidorm up in the mountains.. accomadation was lovely and all amenities as stated.. will be rebooking in future as thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.. There was a communal pool just outside the front of the property which was lovely to swim in ,first thing in the morning and last thing at night as open from 9.00am to 12,midnight..
Thank you for your kind words. We do holiday at the villa ourselves so we always try and ensure everything is as you would want for a pleasurable five star holiday villa on the beautiful Costa Blanca, Spain.

Beautifull Villa like home from home. Every thing you need is there, well sized bedrooms, lots of space over 3 floors. Only down thing was you need a car, but bus only every 2hrs short walk from Villa, but loads of buses when you get down the main centre. Louise
Thanks for reviewing the villa as "Amazing". A hire car is certainly more convenient to get to all the nearby attractions. The community is campaigning for more frequent busses and there are also lots of local taxi companies available, so public transport will be improving :)

"Did not want to come home"
Great villa with loads of space and bathrooms, ideal for larger families. Lovely secure pool. Would go back tomorrow and also highly recommend to every one. Can't wait to go back. :)
Thank you for your review.
Having 3 shower/bath rooms certainly helps when you need to get the familiy ready to go out and explore the many theme parks and water parks within the Benidorm area.

"Great villa, a real home from home"
We have just returned from a two week stay at the villa. There were eight of us in total (4 adults + 3 children) and there was plenty of room in the villa for all of us, no falling over each other or feeling like we were living in each others pockets.
The villa was very clean and had everything we could possibly ask for, the owners have certainly put alot of thought into what people want from their rental home.
The swimming pool was just across the road from the villa and despite being at the villa in the hight of the summer, it was never busy which was great, the kids often had the pool to themselves!!
There was plenty information in the villa about transport and things to do in and around Benidorm.
Overall, we had a great holiday, the villa was fantastic. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday then the villa is for you.
Thank you for those kind words. We holiday at the villa ourselves and like to think of it as a home from home, with the all the extras that the Benidorm area has to offer!

Andrew O'Hehir has been writing at salon about home-schooling his 6-year-old twins.
salon made its name as a politically aggressive, staunchly liberal online operation.
Hathaway was spotted leaving a Manhattan salon on Wednesday with her original hair color back in play.
1690s, "large room or apartment in a palace or great house," from French salon "reception room" (17c.), from Italian salone "large hall," from sala "hall," from a Germanic source (cf. Old English sele, Old Norse salr "hall," Old High German sal "hall, house," German Saal), from Proto-Germanic *salaz, from PIE *sel- (1) "human settlement" (cf. Old Church Slavonic selo "courtyard, village," Polish siolo, Russian selo "village," Lithuanian sala "village").
Sense of "reception room of a Parisian lady" is from 1810; meaning "gathering of fashionable people" first recorded 1888 (the woman who hosts one is a salonnière). Meaning "annual exhibition of contemporary paintings and sculpture in Paris" is from its originally being held in one of the salons of the Louvre. Meaning "establishment for hairdressing and beauty care" is from 1913.
A periodic gathering of persons noted in literature, philosophy, the fine arts, or similar areas, held at one person's home. Salons thrived in the Enlightenment.

Northern collared lemming
|Northern collared lemming
|Scientific classification
|D. groenlandicus
|Binomial name
|Dicrostonyx groenlandicus
(Traill, 1823)
|Northern collared lemming range[2]
kilangmiutak Anderson & Rand, 1945
The northern collared lemming (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus), sometimes called the Peary Land collared lemming in Canada, is a small North American lemming. At one time, it was considered to be a subspecies of the Arctic lemming (Dicrostonyx torquatus). Some sources believe several other species of collared lemmings found in North America are actually subspecies of D. groenlandicus.
It has a short chunky body covered with thick grey fur with a thin black stripe along its back and light grey underparts. It has small ears, short legs and a very short tail. It has a pale brown collar across its chest. In winter, its fur turns white (believed to be the only rodent to do so), and it has large digging claws on its front feet. It is 14 cm long with a 1.5 cm tail and weighs about 40 g.
This animal is found in the tundra of northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland. It feeds on grasses, sedges and other green vegetation in summer, and twigs of willow, aspen and birches in winter. Predators include snowy owls, gulls, wolverines, the Arctic fox and the polar bear.
Female lemmings have two or three litters of four to eight young in a year. The young are born in a nest in an underground burrow or concealed in vegetation.
It is active year round, day and night. It makes runways through the surface vegetation and also digs underground burrows above the permafrost. It burrows under the snow in winter. Lemming populations go through a three- or four-year cycle of boom and bust. When their population peaks, lemmings disperse from overcrowded areas.

confused as to if it's worth doing or not as I also want to get my MCSE as quickly as possible. I am 37 yrs old, and feel like my age is against me. So I don't want to waste time studying for any certification that I might not need.
At 37, you're in the prime age range for most IT professionals, so don't give that too much weight. If you want to be a network administrator, MCSE or otherwise, Network+ is an excellent next exam for you to pursue. The more you know about networking in general if you pursue the MCSE, the better equipped you'll be to deal with a lot of the information related to that program.
I recommend A+ and Network+ as good general kick-off certifications for all prospective system and network administrators nowadays, no matter which platform they seek to learn after that.
Good luck!

The school was founded in 1875 as a consequence of the Grammar Schools Act of 1860 passed by Queensland's first parliament. The original building was designed by Willoughby Powell. The foundation stone was laid on 5 August 1875; it was to be laid by the Governor of Queensland, William Cairns but due to his illness, Justice Charles Lilley performed the ceremony. A bottle (time capsule) was placed in a cavity in the stone containing two local newspapers, coins of the realm and a parchment commemorating the event and listing the names of the foundation trustees:[3]
- James Taylor, Member of the Queensland Legislative Council (treasurer)
- S. G. Stephens (secretary)
- G. H. Davenport
- John Frederick McDougall, Member of the Queensland Legislative Council
- William Graham, Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Darling Downs
- Edward Wilmot Pechey, Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Aubigny
- G. W. Elliott, P.M.

- Robert Aland (mayor)
- John Garget
- James Campbell
- Daniel Donavon
- Henry Spiro
- Malcolm Geddes
- Richard Godsall
- R. J. Barry
- J. Reuter
The building was completed in 1876, first opening its doors to boys on 1 February 1877.
The school has been a member of the Great Public Schools' Association Inc (GPS) since 1920.[4] It is also affiliated with the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA),[2] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[5] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[6] and Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ).[7]
The school uses the Queensland Curriculum throughout its education with the school broken down into several categories:
- Junior School (Prep - Year 6)
- Transition (Year 7)
- Senior School (Year 8 - Year 10)
- Senior (Year 11 - Year 12)
Students from Junior and Transition have set subjects which is decided upon by the class teacher whilst students who are in Year 8 move between classes and are exposed to various subject selections the school offers. Once a student gets into Year 9 they can select three of their six subjects and then in Year 11 they are allowed to choose four of their subjects as well as selecting their strands in their selected core subjects.

The School prides itself in having a large collection of student representative bodies on campus, some include:
Student Representative Committee[edit]
Junior Committee The Junior Representative Committee is available for any boys in Years 8/9 to join who meet with the Headmaster once a term to represent and discuss issues in relation to the school's day-to-day operation. They also put on small events such as sports days from the younger boys in the Senior School Community.
Senior Committee The Senior Committee is composed of boys who were members of the Junior Committee who are now in Years 10/11. They also meet with the Headmaster once a term as well as representing a portion of their particular house. Students may also be asked to represent a particular activity at the school and provide feedback on the opinion and operation of this activity. These students provide a liaison between the house pastoral care system and the School Prefects. They hold larger events for the entire school community such as the Annual Grammar's Got Talent Talent Competition.
School Prefects[edit]
The School has used a prefects system very similar to that used in British Public Schools since its early years, a compendium of the prefects follows:
- Senior Prefect (School Captain)
- Senior Dayboy Prefect
- Senior Boarder Prefect
- School Prefect (12-20 students)
House Pastoral Care System[edit]
The school also maintains various leadership groups within each house, these include:
- 2x House Captains
- 2x House Vice-Captains
- 2-4 Boarding House Prefects
- 2x Service Co-Ordinators
- 2x Social Co-Ordinators
- 2x House Liaisons
- 2x Junior School Liaisons
School Spirit Squad[edit]
Boys also have the opportunity to be members of the School's Spirit Squad which is a group of boys involved in maintaining the student body's morale and spirit for the school. They lead the school is many warcries as well as other events such as organising the many Prefects' Assemblies throughout the year.
The House System[edit]
The School originally had incorporated a system of 9 houses. In the schools original formation these were separate boarding and day houses with the Junior School utilising the Senior School houses soon after its formation in 1997. These houses have since amalgamated and some removed. The houses are/were:
Existing Houses[edit]
Taylor House Taylor House was named in honour of the Hon. James Taylor, the first Chairman of the Board of Trustess at the School. In the first colonial parliament, he represented the Western Downs in the Legislative Council and then later as Mayor of Toowoomba. He was well known for his contributions to the Benevolent Society and the hospital, as well as being the first president of the School of Arts and his promotion of the foundation of the Darling Downs Agriculture Society. As well as Active Development of the Clifford Park Race Way.
Prior to 1992, Taylor House was the Boarding House for the Year Nine Students at the school, and in 2004 combined with Gibson House to form a combined Day/Boarding house. This boarding house is the smallest of the six currently on campus with plans for a new boarding house to be situated on the Parents and Friends' Oval, and the boarding house be renovated into the new "Engineering and Vocational Training Centre". The House's Colour is Black.[8]
Boyce House Boyce House takes its name from an old boy of the school, Mr Leslie Atherton George Boyce. Mr Boyce entered the school in 1911 as a Scholar of the State. In 1915 he entered the AIF and served in France, later to be wounded in 1917 and hence awarded the Military Cross for "conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of his platoon during an attack". On returning to Toowoomba, he became the Chief Executive Officer of the Toowoomba Foundry, remaining as the Director until 1976.
Prior to 1992, Boyce House was home to Year 10 students and in 2004 along with the other houses was amalgamated with Henderson. The boarding house exists next to the Margaret School entrance and is planned to be renovated into the "Culture Centre" focusing on all walks of artistic excellence on campus. With a new boarding house to be constructed alongside the new Taylor Boarding House. Within the boarding house it maintains four internal dormitories, these being Woodward, Fortescue, Robertson, and Clownes in Honour of famous Old Boys who gave their lives in the Great War and World War II. The House's Colour is Maroon. [8]
Mackintosh House Mackintosh House is the oldest of the schools houses, and is named after the School's Inaugural Headmaster, Mr John Mackintosh who was appointed as Headmaster in 1876. Born in Scotland in 1836, he excelled academically at Edinburgh University before sailing to Australia in 1861. Unfortunately he became immortalised at the school after he was killed when he was thrown from his horse while on a riding expedition to Helidon below the range.
Mackintosh House was the home to the Year 12 boys prior to 1992, and in 2004 merged with Chauvel to form its combined house. It was originally situated in the two upper floors of the School's original building. In 2011 the decision was made to move them out of this facility and renovate it to Staff Offices. As a result of this, the Mackintosh House is situated in the newest Boarding House on campus. Located in between the existing Taylor and Boyce Houses. The Houses's Colour is Regal Red.[8]
Groom House Groom House holds the highest prestige after being named after Sir Littleton Groom In 1901 Sir Littleton was elected as the first federal representative of the seat of Groom (named after him, although he held the seat of Darling Downs) and later the first speaker of the house. He then held this seat for 36 years. Sir Litleton is listed on the Old Boys' Wall of Achievement.
Prior to 1992, Groom House was home to Year 8s, and was merged with Freshney in 2004. The boarding house from Groom House is currently located on the lower floor of the original Stephens House (Which was originally a two story boarding house) when the Junior School occupied its original boarding house to create Corfe House. This boarding facility is located on the Herries Street side of the campus and is in a traditional red brick construction. It is one of few boarding houses where the Boarding Housemaster lives in the building itself and not a separate detached building. The Houses's Colour is Grass Green.[8]
Stephens House Stephens House was named after the undisputed founder of Toowoomba Grammar School Mr Samuel George Stephens. Mr Stephens was born in Wales and having been educated at the School for Captains' Sons, joined the Merchant Navy. On one of his adventures, the ship was wrecked on the Victorian Coast near Melbourne. He eventually moved to Toowoomba where he and his wife built a house in Herries Street, where he then raised six daughters. He was the Honorary Secretary of the first board of Trustess and his oldest son was the first boy to be enrolled at the school.
Prior to 1992, Stephens House was the home for Year 11 students, and further in 2004 was merged with the Day House Partridge to form a combined house. Located in the same Boarding House as Groom House, Stephens House also has a Boarding House Master that lives inside the Boarding House rather than a detached building. The Houses's Colour is Royal Blue.[8]

ABSTRACT: Objective: To assess the effect of duloxetine on ADHD in adults. Method: In a 6-week double-blind trial, 30 adults with ADHD received placebo or duloxetine 60 mg daily. The Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) and the Clinical Global Impression Scales (CGI) were used to assess symptom severity and clinical improvement. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were used to measure the effect on anxiety and depressive symptoms. Results: The Duloxetine group showed lower score on CGI-Severity at Week 6 (3.00 vs. 4.07 for placebo, p < .001), greater improvement on CGI-Improvement (2.89 vs. 4.00 at Week 6, p < .001), and greater decreases on five of eight subscales of the CAARS. There was no treatment group effect on HDRS or HARS scores. Conclusion: Duloxetine may be a therapeutic option for adults with ADHD, but further studies are required to replicate these findings in larger samples. (J. of Att. Dis. 2012; XX(X) 1-XX).Journal of Attention Disorders 05/2012; 18(2). DOI:10.1177/1087054712443157

ABSTRACT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and disabling disorder among adults and is treated with stimulant and non stimulant medication. To report the case of a patient with ADHD showing good clinical response to duloxetine, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI). A 53 year-old man with a recently diagnosed ADHD was successfully treated with duloxetine 60 mg and showed reduced scores on the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales - Self-Report Scale: Short Version (CAARS-S:S). Duloxetine could be an option for patients who either do not tolerate or show resistance to more common pharmacological choices. Randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the efficacy of duloxetine in treating ADHD symptoms.Journal of Attention Disorders 05/2009; 13(1):95-6. DOI:10.1177/1087054708326109

The big, bold, seductive, and surprising color photographs of German photographer Andreas Gursky set forth a stunning image of our contemporary world of high-tech industry, international markets, big-time sports, fast-paced tourism, and slick commerce. Tracking the zeitgeist from his native Germany to such far-flung places as Hong Kong, Brasilia, Cairo, New York, Shanghai, Stockholm, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, and Los Angeles, Gursky has earned acclaim at the leading edge of contemporary art with a polished signature style that draws upon a great diversity of ideas, precedents, and techniques. Created in collaboration with the artist, this oversize book surveys the fullness of his work to date with gorgeous colorplates, generous two-page details, and a wealth of supporting illustrations. The first in-depth study in English of Gursky's art, this book was published in conjunction with a major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Peter Galassi argues in this book that photography was not a technical achievement without artistic roots; photography was born of the transformation in artistic outlook that, after centuries of experimentation, came to value pictures that seem to be caught by the eye rather than composed by the mind. Catalog for an exhibition at MoMA, NYC, in 1981. Includes work by Constable, Corot, Gustave Le Gray, Roger Fenton, Timothy O'Sullivan, and others. 152 pages including two gatefolds; 44 full-page reproductions of paintings and drawings, 9 in color and 38 full-page, photographic plates plus 38 text illustrations; 10 x 8.5 inches.

› Find signed collectible books: 'THE COMPLETE UNTITLED FILM STILLS.'
Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, a series of 69 black-and-white photographs created between 1977 and 1980, is widely seen as one of the most original and influential achievements in recent art. Witty, provocative and searching, this lively catalogue of female roles inspired by the movies crystallizes widespread concerns in our culture, examining the ways we shape our personal identities and the role of the mass media in our lives. Sherman began making these pictures in 1977 when she was 23 years old. The first six were an experiment: fan-magazine glimpses into the life (or roles) of an imaginary blond actress, played by Sherman herself. The photographs look like movie stills--or perhaps publicity pix--purporting to catch the blond bombshell in unguarded moments at home. The protagonist is shown preening in the kitchen and lounging in the bedroom. Onto something big, Sherman tried other characters in other roles: the chic starlet at her seaside hideaway, the luscious librarian, the domesticated sex kitten, the hot-blooded woman of the people, the ice-cold sophisticate and a can-can line of other stereotypes. She eventually completed the series in 1980. She stopped, she has explained, when she ran out of clichas.
Other artists had drawn upon popular culture but Sherman's strategy was new. For her the pop-culture image was not a subject (as it had been for Walker Evans) or raw material (as it had been for Andy Warhol) but a whole artistic vocabulary, ready-made. Her film stills look and function just like the real ones--those 8 x 10 glossies designed to lure us into a drama we find all the more compelling because we know it isn't real. In the Untitled Film Stills there are no Cleopatras, no ladies on trains, no women of a certain age. There are, of course, no men. The 69 solitary heroines map a particular constellation of fictional femininity that took hold in postwar America--the period of Sherman's youth and the starting point for our contemporary mythology. In finding a form for her own sensibility, Sherman touched a sensitive nerve in the culture at large. Although most of the characters are invented, we sense right away that we already know them. That twinge of instant recognition is what makes the series tick and it arises from Cindy Sherman's uncanny poise. There is no wink at the viewer, no open irony, no camp.
In 1995, The Museum of Modern Art purchased the series from the artist, preserving the work in its entirety. This book marks the first time that the complete series will be published as a unified work, with Sherman herself arranging the pictures in sequence.

Arriving in Rome in 1825, Corot spent three years painting and drawing the landscape nearby. In their freshness and candour, his open-air studies seem to point forward, toward Impressionism. Galassi shows that they also point to the past. Half a century before Corot visited Italy, the community of foreign artists at Rome had spawned a school of outdoor painting. Under the banner of Neoclassicism, an international roster of artists - British, French, German, Scandinavian - elaborated the experiment into a rich tradition, absorbing the lessons of Poussin and Claude and appropriating the motifs of the viewmakers. Corot's work marks the culmination of the tradition, the last, flowering of the classical landscape ideal. Drawing on the efforts of scholars, dealers, and collectors, Galassi establishes the coherence and significance of early outdoor painting in Italy. Building on this foundation, he explores in depth Corot's magnificent landscapes.

On the morning of May 18, 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in the forests of Washington State exploded. First, months of building interior pressure triggered a massive landslide, removing the entire north face of the mountain. This avalanche was followed immediately by a violent eruption that ultimately expelled over a quarter-billion cubic yards of magma. The blast devastated roughly 250 square miles, leaving behind scoured rock, millions of fallen trees, and mud-choked river valleys. Yet the land returned, gradually restoring and regenerating itself. Beginning in 1981 and continuing until 1990, photographer Frank Gohlke made regular visits to the devastated land around Mount St. Helens. This collection of photographs of biblical grandeur records both the ravaged terrain around the volcano in the early years after the eruption, and the regrowth--slow but extraordinary--of the region's natural forest. Mount St. Helens: 1981 to 1990 contains a dramatic selection of these photographs; an introductory essay on the volcanology and geology of the Pacific Northwest by Kerry Sieh and Simon LeVay; and notes on the images by the photographer himself.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Friedlander'
Lee Friedlander is one of the most important of the 1960s generation of photographers for whom the posture of disinterested objectivity served as a vehicle for passionate personal inquiries. His large body of work--he most often produces extended series of pictures on a chosen theme, then publishes them in book form--is broad in subject matter and supple and complex in style, and focuses on what he calls America's "social landscape." At the same time, he has pursued a playful dialogue with artistic tradition--as though open-eyed curiosity about the world, and a sophisticated taste for the wiles of picture-making were one and the same thing. Lee Friedlander takes a deep critical look at Friedlander's abundantly productive career. Including over 500 photographs grouped by series, and an incisive essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art, this oversized publication is the most comprehensive review of the photographer's career to date.

The Brown Sisters presents a photographic project as compelling in effect as it is simple in conception: four women, 25 years. Each year since 1975 photographer Nicholas Nixon has made a group portrait of his wife and her three sisters facing the camera in the same order: Heather, Mimi, Bebe, and Laurie. The series now measures a quarter century in the lives of the sisters, who in 1975 ranged in age from 15 to 25; each picture is dense with allusions to the year of experience that separates it from the one before.

Back in Print Philip-Lorca diCorcia's inventively staged and exquisitely crafted color photographs occupy a special place in contemporary art. Operating in the gap between postmodern fiction and documentary fact, between slick convention and fresh perception, they deliver a powerful emotional charge. The 55 color plates in this book, dating from 1978 to 1994, trace the evolution of a compelling and influential body of work. Beginning with enigmatic domestic scenarios whose protagonists are the photographer's family and friends, diCorcia moved on to an ambitious series in which Hollywood drifters and hustlers are pictured as emblematic figures of contemporary America. He proceeded to deploy his probing curiosity amid the energy and turmoil of big-city streets, reinvigorating a rich photographic tradition that had been dormant for nearly a generation.

Selected from 17 million prints preserved in the archives of The New York Times, the spectacular photographs in this book provide a spellbinding sample from the rich archive that is the twentieth century, as seen through the eyes of a great newspaper. Revealed is the extraordinary and omnivorous breadth of photography's gaze: vivid pictures of both World Wars; of presidents, mayors, dictators and celebrities; of Beatles fans and Halley's comet; of victims and perpetrators, riots and disasters; of Bill Bradley on the court and Willie Mays sliding into home--and a great many more. Underlying them all is the gripping immediacy that makes news photography not only an indispensable presence in the daily paper but a vital part of history. This book includes an illustrated chronology that traces the evolution of the technology and business of news photography, with special attention to the role of The New York Times and to the recent rise of digital technologies in newspaper production. Originally published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Richard Benson: North South East West'
Former Dean of the Yale School of Art, Richard Benson has been a photographer for more than four decades, but until now his art often took a back seat to his prodigious achievements as a printer and a teacher. When he devoted himself to overseeing the production of his own pictures a few years ago, everything fell into place. From direct digital capture through inkjet output, Benson's renowned technical wizardry yields unusually vibrant and beguiling color prints that are at once ultra-vivid and utterly natural, like our everyday visual experience. This volume presents nearly 100 photographs by Benson that highlight not only the unique properties of his prints, but also his fresh techniques for reproducing them on a printing press, as exemplified in this book. The uncanny lushness and clarity of the photographs gives voice to Benson's generous, inquisitive eye. As he crisscrossed the continent, Benson observed the creations of nature as well as man in pictures that are at once cheerful and patiently attentive to the forces that shape and soon enough change everything under the sun. An essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at MoMA, surveys the work and a text by Benson explains how it was made.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Walker Evans & Company'
Walker Evans' radical photography of the 1930s demonstrated that unembellished photographic fact could serve as a highly poetic language. These works expanded the potential of the art of photography and at the same time defined a lasting iconography that recognized advertising, movies, and car culture as central images of modern American identity. Walker Evans & Company focuses on Evans as a central figure in the arts of the 1920s and 30s, and includes works in photography and other mediums that influenced Evans or were influenced by him, or which resonate in a significant way with aspects of his imagery, sensibility, and style. Among the other artists whose work is featured are: Eugene Atget, Mathew Brady, Stuart Davis, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Edward Hopper, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, August Sander, Andy Warhol, and Edward Weston. Published in conjunction with the second of three cycles of millennial exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
