Things to do
The unspoilt village of Dale is just four miles south of St Brides, in the heart of the National Park. Traditionally an agricultural and fishing community, there's plenty of wildlife including birds, seals, dolphins and porpoise. Located on the National Park's long-distance path, the village is popular with walkers.
It has safe beaches where there are plenty of opportunities for water sports. The West Wales Wind, Surf and Sailing company offers training and equipment hire for a range of activities. There are also pony trekking and riding facilities nearby.
Britain's smallest city, St David's, is also within easy driving distance along the coast. This beautiful city has been a favourite with artists, travellers and pilgrims for centuries. Visit its lovely 12th-century cathedral, which is built on the site of a 6th-century monastery and still serves the local community.
Head half an hour south east to the beautiful and ancient town of Pembroke, the birthplace of Henry VII. Its history can be traced to 1093, when the Normans built a wooden fortress, although the present castle was built in the latter end of the 12th century.
Pembroke Castle is largely intact and sits on the banks of the estuary. Its keep has a 'massive cylindrical tower with an unusual stone dome'. The castle's passages, tunnels and exhibitions of medieval life will keep everyone occupied for hours, and a visit to the Brass Rubbing Centre will create a unique souvenir.
Afterwards, enjoy a stroll or a picnic in the castle grounds, followed by a walk around the medieval town walls and millpond. Pembroke has many other attractions, including a popular town trail, a museum, a daily indoor market and plenty of craft and gift shops.
Cruises are available from Milford Haven, on the Daugleddau waterways and upriver into unspoilt Pembrokeshire. Boats also depart regularly from Milford Haven to visit the local island bird sanctuaries of Skomer, Skokholm and Grassholm.
Pembrokeshire Islands Boat Trips offers 15-minute outings that take visitors to see 'puffins, guillemots, razorbills, short-eared owls, Manx shearwaters and a host of other birds'. Grey seals can also be spotted throughout the year, along with their white furry pups from September.
The island of Skomer has 'Britain's largest undisturbed prehistoric Iron Age settlement with hut circles, cemeteries and field systems from 2000BC'. There's also a farmhouse that describes farming methods through the ages.
Haverfordwest, a short drive north east, is a bustling medieval market town with narrow streets. The oldest part of the town is near the 12th-century castle, which is now a shell and home to the museum. There are several churches, many splendid Regency and Victorian buildings, and plenty of galleries, shops and places to eat.
Just outside Haverfordwest at Wolfscastle, the Sealyham Activity Centre offers adventure on both land and water. The centre's qualified instructors turn the coastline into a playground for kayaking, surfing, climbing, biking and other exciting sports.
Heading 26 miles east from St Brides to the medieval town of Tenby on Wales' south coast, you'll encounter two theme parks (both of which cater for dogs).
Oakwood Theme Park has 30 rides and attractions, with something for everyone, and any hunger pangs can be satisfied at a number of food outlets. Dogs aren't allowed in the park, but it offers free holding kennels.
Heatherton Activity Theme Park, which sits on the outskirts of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, has lots of activities for all the family. It has free entry with a 'pay when you play' approach and a dog-friendly Sports Park.
Closest to Tenby is the 200-acre Folly Farm park, which has six zones that range from the Jolly Farm to the Zoo. Originally a dairy farm, it's now Wales' top paid-for tourist attraction.
Tenby itself is a popular tourist destination, with lovely sandy beaches, 13th-century medieval town walls, the Tudor Merchant's House (National Trust) and Tenby Castle, which has a museum and art gallery. There's also plenty of wildlife along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and on Caldey Island.
With a history deeply rooted in maritime activity due to it being the
home of the largest estuary in Wales this is possibly the sea goer's
haven. There's plenty of water based activities with sailing being a
popular activity here. Alongside this there's plenty of evidence of the
huge fishing fleet which used to be housed here including the area's
oldest building which used to keep whale oil in storage.
This building is now home to a local museum. The museum is genuinely
fascinating covering all aspects of Milford Haven's sea faring history
which not only includes fishing but whaling and petrol too. Today that history of petroleum importing is
prevalent with the local oil and gas refineries.
Once you're finished there you can visit the numerous cafes, restaurants and small pubs that dot the
town near the harbour.
Within the bay there's an eclectic mix of activities. From horse
riding over the sand to surfing in the fresh water that was
used in a Harry Potter film to walking the Pembrokeshire
coast path. The coast path is highly recommended being The
National Geographic's second best walk in the world! Taking
the time to stroll the long path will have you seeing some
incredible views and wildlife; an ideal activity for all the family
even if you don't experience the full length of the walk.
If you're feeling more adventurous or have an out-going family with you there's also the very exciting
option of coasteering on the north side of the bay. Depending on exactly how adventurous you're feeling
you can take part in scrambling, swell-riding and even cliff jumping!
Pembrokeshire National Park and the County Council provide lots of information booklets on the wide variety of activities and crafts available in the area. Maps, guides and other tourist information are also available at St. Brides reception.

You never know the impact of a simple gesture...like a smile!
I am a very laid back, go with the flow type of person. I am very loyal to my family and friends. I like going out with friends and having a good time, you can usually find me outdoors, but occasionally at a hole in the wall with great food or a nice cozy pub. I enjoy going to sporting events, camping, hiking, sports, relaxing, being on the go, weekend trips out of the area, helping others, trying to experience all that I can. Learning and trying new things is something I am always interested in, I will try anything once(most likely more than once). I am one of those people who looks forward to going to work almost everyday. My hours are definitely not the normal 9-5. I am looking for someone who is down to earth, enjoys life, and the little things. Like to go out and have a good time, but is just as content staying in cooking dinner, watching a good movie. I want to find someone who is genuine, honest, loyal, smart, funny, intelligent, loves life. There has to be some amount of physical attraction, but that isn't the end all be all by any means. At the end of the day it would be nice to have someone where just looking into their eyes brings a smile to my face. Is that so much to ask for? If you want to know anything more feel free to ask. I'm an open book and will answer anything... Look forward to hearing from you.

Northern Illinois University, De Kalb, IL
TV:House, NCIS, Dexter, Food Network, Big Bang Theory and a few other shows. I try to catch all Chicago sports teams when I can. Love watching movies, but see more at home than the theater.
I love sports, outdoors, movies, hanging out with friends, ball games, food, cooking, traveling, and I'm sure there are plenty more things I can name that I enjoy doing.

YIELD: Makes 6 to 8 servings
1. In a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the fennel, onions, and leeks and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to tenderize, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato and garlic, re-cover the pot, and continue cooking until the tomatoes begin to break down, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Add the tomato paste, cayenne, saffron, potatoes, fish stock, and bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper and bring the liquid up to a boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the potatoes are cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Add the seafood in order of firmness and cooking time, with the denser fillets of fish going into the pot first, followed by shellfish and then shrimp. Simmer the soup, stirring very minimally to preserve the whole pieces of seafood, until the shellfish have opened and fish fillets have cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes total, depending on the seafood being used.
4. To serve, remove and discard the bouquet garni. Carefully remove the fish and shellfish, arranging them on a large serving platter or in warm bowls. Ladle the broth and potatoes over fish and garnish with the herbs. Serve warm.
Cook's note: A bouquet garni is a classic addition to soups, stews, and broths that are not going to be strained before serving. Aromatics such as celery, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, parsley stems, and leeks are wrapped up in cheesecloth, tied, and then added to a simmering pot of ingredients. The entire package is then thrown away before serving the dish.

Whether the Bronze Age Aegean economies can be described as "redistributive" depends on how one defines the term. The concept of redistribution itself has undergone several decades of critical archaeological analysis, much of it stemming from my early work in Polynesia. I consider here how Polanyi's ideas about redistributive economies have been expanded since the 1970s. My review complements the article in this Forum by Nakassis et al. and the contribution by Halstead, who discusses why and how the concept of redistribution still matters in studies of the Minoans and Mycenaeans. To some degree, we all agree: chiefs, and later kings, who sought power in archaic societies did so through many highly variable, contingent, and changing means, all designed to support political-economic strategies based on multiple systems of finance. The Bronze Age Aegean societies provide excellent examples of this process, as demonstrated by the contributors to this Forum.

text: The Sarah Connor wiki last edited by RazielWraith on 06/03/15 06:37AM View full history TerminatorLinda Hamilton as Sarah Connor Sarah Connor was a target of a cyborg assassin sent back in time to kill her before she gave birth to son John Connor who was to be leader of the "Resistance". The Resistance would later become Mankind's last hope for survival against the conquering Machines. Sarah avoided the first Assassin primarily because she is helped by a soldier, Kyle Reese, also sent back in time to protect her.Through their adventures Kyle and Sarah become very close and intimate. With the failure of the first cyborg (Terminator), the two make love and 9 months later John Connor is born, Kyle Reese is killed in the destruction of the Terminator.Terminator 2: Judgment DaySarah is then locked away in a mental institution for the simple fact that she is dubbed crazy for beleiving in cyborgs and time travel. Her son John is bought up in a foster family until a second Terminator (T-1000) is sent back in time to kill John. This terminator however is an advanced prototype being mimetic polyalloy, which basically means it is liquid metal.Sarah Connor then faces a huge new challenge to protect her son against this new machine, however she is not alone in the fight.

Thanks Jeff -
I thought it might be some post-op depression -I am very frustrated about not being able to do the little things -I did change therapists upon your and my surgeons advice -I hope I didn't get the guy in trouble but he had me doing 3-4 month post-op stuff that was KILLING me -last 2 weeks I felt wonderful -walking all over and seeing old friends and now I feel like I'm starting to backslide into becoming the near 'shut-in' I was over the last 4 years -Sorry to bother you but I am just scared ...
I did not suffer from bouts of fatigue. If anything my energy levels slowly rose as I became more mobile and my metabolism level increased. There are many things that can cause fatigue and you need to see your general practitioner to begin the screening process to try and pinpoint what is causing yours. If it is only occurring after exercise then it could be a blood sugar issue but I would not try and self diaganose this problem.
Jeff -I just returned from my daily walk -well almost daily -and
i am light-headed and so tired I can barely type this -For no reason I have been getting waves of fatigue -actually passed out yesterday while doing my PT with a mop-handle -i finished the set then couldn't get up and next thing I know it is dark outside -is this nrmal ? 91/2 weeks out of surgery and suddenly I get fetiqued if I read the paper . WHAT is going on here ? Scared -real scared -been crying alot for unknown reasons also-what is happening to me ?
Dr. Funk e-mailed me and told me to set up a hree way between me my surgeon and my therapist . I am going to PT tomorrow and then changing therapists -mostly because I can go to therapy 1/2 mile from home or 10 miles away to this Sadist . I'll stop all together if I feel threatened by their actions -I have an HPER minor and know kinesiology and physiology fairly well -moreover I know my own body better than any therapist .
Thank you so much -I thought I was just being a Wus -he had me lie down on a table and with a weighted bar raise the bar from my pelvis to 80 degrees over my head , while keping my arms straight -I thought i would die -10 of those -hell, the 5 minutes on the arm bike HURTS-I have full projected rotation already -y continue strengthening ? I know you have been dopwn this road before and I hope I am not bugging u too much -just the thought of returning to where I was is haunting me .
thanks again for the input.
Russell, I would definitely consult with the surgeon before allowing the PT to push the envelope with you. It sounds as if there might be a conflict of interest with what is best for you and what is best for his study. I was a good 4 months into rehab before I began any weight exercises. You have lived for a long time with intense pain and very little hope. Having had no mobility of that shoulder or arm during that period your PT should be concentrating on slowly increasing your level of flexibility before working on increasing your strenght. All good things in time. You rushed rehab last time with diasterous results, do not allow yourself to be pushed to that point again. If it was me I would get the opinions of my surgeon, the opinion of the surgeon in the UK who pioneered the procedure, and armed with that information I would go with what I felt was a good progression rate for my therapy.
Good luck my friend.
HC-just returned from therapy and would appreciate your opinion -My PTist wants to use me as ''reference'' p[atient for some frigging journal-I trusted him completely til today when he mentioned this -now I am wondering as to why my therapy is progressing so rapidly -last week I started on the ''arm'' bike and now -today-6 weeks from surgery -a little under actually -he had me lifting a weighted bar -I came home in tears -I was /am perfectly happy being out of the agonizing pain -why am I lifting a weighted bar ? My last surgery came apart in PT and I refuse to let it happen again -were you lifting 6 weeks post-op-?Am I a Research monkey ?-I have reacher ROM goals for the rest of my lofe and I am dedicated to working the passive stretches and slight exercises -SORRY-what I really would appreciate is this -Should I phone my Dr. and tell him what is going on ? I am truly afraid now -I would greatly appreciate your advice . Scared sissy boy
Thanks for your kind reply-I'm doing so much better that I don't really want to do the PT to strenghten-I am out of pain and have some use of my arm again -that is plenty for me but the doc is fairly insistent upon it -I have great passive ROM and this surgery was for pain relief predominately but I'll keep going -I'll never raise my arm above my head again -but so what -I'll deal with it -I am sorry that you had to undergo this same /similar trauma-why is it always the good people ?-PS-1st time I've referred to myself as anything other than worthless in years-Thanks again...
Thanks so much for your kind words -I am a crotchety old bachelor and I have to drive myself to PT, store , etc.--I was crying so hard after my first PT session that I literally couldn't see the road-I now have a rehab service picking me up and bringing me home-I am taking everything as easy as I can but living alone makes it very difficult-I had to try this procedure-couldn't stand the pain meds anymore-thanks for your thoughts as I know we have shared the same path .
I am happy to hear that the surgery went well. My rehab was a long haul like I am sure yours will be. Do not rush it, be patient. I wanted off the meds so bad that I was willing to try any method to get out of the fog. What ended up working for me was an acupuncture session a few hours before PT and meditation after sessions. Here is an article from NPR that discusses new meditation techniques for pain management. Looks promising. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=7654964
hardcore -how did you tolerate the PT post-op ?All they are doing is taking my arm out of the immobilizer and pulling it -Passive Assisted ROM-yet I come home and cry-other than the PT my shoulder is 100% better-I canm straighten my arm and make a fist-no way I could do that priorly -Thanks for your kind words and thoughts -- RP

Sri Lanka vs Australia
Match drawn
So there you go. Just when things were getting interesting the rain intervened, and so Sri Lanka will go into the third Test at the SSC in Colombo with a chance to level the series. They'll certainly have to perform a lot better, but will be heartened by a much-improved showing with the bat in this second innings. The final Test starts on Friday, so do join us then.
Tom Moody, who is in Pallekele as a commentator, has just tweeted: 'You can close the book on this match rain set in & full covers coming out, Aust will go to 3rd Test 1 up, SL need to bounce back!' Looks like the game will be called off pretty soon then.
Aaand now they're back on again. The last of the covers was just coming off when another shower swept down from the hills. Have to suspect that that will be that. Officially we have a little more than two hours of possible play left, but the light is so bad that it's hugely unlikely they'll get back on at all, let alone play for long enough to make it worthwhile.
Good news - the rain has stopped, and so the covers are slowly being peeled off.
Still raining in Pallekele, so presumably we're into the tea break. The groundstaff are exceedingly efficient so if the rain stops we will be back on in the shortest possible time, but at the moment it looks highly unlikely that the rain Gods are about to allow Australia a Test victory here.
The rain is heavier now, so the entire ground has been covered. Australia's hopes of a series-clinching victory recede further. Still a lot of time left in the day but this looks like it could be a lengthy delay.
It's still drizzling out there, so the covers are in place, although the umpires stopped the groundstaff from bringing on the ones that cover the outfield. The Aussies have traipsed off for the moment, and will be frustrated to see heavier showers in the distance. We'll keep you updated.
Over 115 Johnson 0-0-0-
317-6 - It's pretty dark out there at the start of the over and you sense it won't be long. Indeed it's just three deliveries before the drizzle begins and Tony Hill confirms that rain has stopped play. However the Aussies stay out in the middle with the umpires because it looks to be a passing shower. Of course the Sri Lankan batsmen are up the stairs and into the dressing room in no time.
Over 114 Watson 1-0-4-0-0-0
317-6 - Risky stuff from Randiv as he pushes at one away from his body and drives in the air through the covers for four. Would have been at a perfect catching height had the cover fielder been five yards to his right. Perhaps it was just impeccably judged by the batsman?
Over 113 Johnson 0-0-0-0-0-0
312-6 - Johnson has three slips, a gully and a square-ish point in place in the hope that Randiv will be tempted outside his off-stump. The right-hander bites, but not enough to find and edge - just an awkward play'n'miss. Drinks break.
Over 112 Watson 0-0-0-0-0-0
312-6 - Watson threatens, but Mathews would rather have himself see of the reverse swing than the cavalier Randiv.
Over 111 Johnson 0-0-4-0-1-0
312-6 - News from the Aussie camp reveals that Harris is being assessed for a stiff hamstring, so we await the extent of that injury. In the meantime, Mathews is yet again left to bat with the lower order and this really must be old hat for the all-rounder now.
Over 110 Watson 0-0-0-0-0-W
307-6 - Mathews and Samaraweera have the tendency to play across the line now and then, so Clarke sticks in two close catches to the on-side. Watson, meanwhile, really working hard at the ball - sometimes seam up, sometimes a scrambled one and at every turn a shine to the pants pocket in his quest for more reverse swing. WICKET! It does the trick, although it's more Samaraweera's poor shot than the impact of the ball that does the job. The right-hander had another go outside the off-stump, the ball stayed on its line and copped the edge. Haddin was at hand for the catch. Australia into Sri Lanka's tail now as Randiv, not one for blocking things out but rather a bit of a willow wielder, comes to the crease. Sri Lanka, only just ahead, effectively 70 for six now.
Over 109 Johnson 2-0-0-0-0-0
307-5 - Some lengthy troubles with the sightscreen delays proceedings, with some sort of rope thingy eventually fixing the problem. Play eventually resumes, with Johnson forcing the edge but Mathews deploying soft enough hands to avoid the ball carrying to Clarke in the slip cordon.
Over 108 Watson 2-0-0-0-0-1
305-5 - Watson pushes hard for the yorker but can't quite reach the blockhole and Mathews cashes in for a couple worked through the on-side to get off the mark. Small signs of reverse swing creeping into the seamer's approach now. Good signs for the Aussies. Ominous ones for Sri Lanka.
Over 107 Johnson 0-0-0-0-0-0
302-5 - Clarke won't want to rest Harris, but he has to for the time being. So, Johnson resumes. 12th man Warner is on the field as today's chief wicket-taker enjoys a quick break in the pavilion. Samaraweera, meanwhile, flashes wildly at a wide delivery and is pretty lucky not to fetch an edge. That said, he is also rather unfortunate not to have that scream through the covers. Either or. You choose.
Over 106 Watson 0-0-0-0-0-0
302-5 - Watson enjoys some sharp nip off the seam into the right-handed Mathews, but the line isn't good enough to trouble the batsman. Then something that keeps low and based on this sporadic lack of bounce, I'd really like to see the slip cordon take a collective step or two forward. The edge, if or when it arrives, is bound to fall short.
Over 105 Harris 0-0-0-0-0-0
302-5 - Harris finds some kicking elevation off a standard length, with Samaraweera entirely surprised by one that lifts through him. With the momentary theatre done and dusted, it's another maiden over.
Over 104 Watson 0-0-1-0-0-0
302-5 - With Sri Lanka sporting a rather long tail, the bulk of the home side's charge sits with the batsmen currently at the crease. Samaraweera and sidekick know this, and won't dare drive at anything sent down outside their off-stump. The slips are waiting for the error.
Over 103 Harris 0-0-0-0-W-0
301-5 - Cautioned by the umpire for running on the wicket in the previous over, Harris makes sure to fall away from his follow-through much quicker this time around. WICKET! Meanwhile, Jayawardene's attacking vigil meets its end on the defence. He got forward for the block, but didn't account for the slightest bit of seam movement. So arrives the edge and Haddin does the rest. The Aussies are going about their hunt for 10 second-innings wickets methodically. Mathews in now.

text: there are dozens of formula which are more or less relatives of D-76 with a little bit more or less hydroquinone or metol or sodium sulfite. If you take less sodium sulfite you'll get a little bit more acuteness and a little bit coarser grain since the sulfite has dissolving properties for silver. But it acts also as a weak alkali (D-23 has only metol and sulfite), so maybe you'll have to adapt your times.

Centre for Disability Law and Policy Hold Third International Summer School
Monday, 23 May 2011
The Centre for Disability Law and Policy at NUI Galway will hold its third International Summer School from 6 to 11 June. The School will be co-hosted by the Harvard Law School Project on Disability and will take place in Room MY129, Áras Moyola at NUI Galway. The purpose of this six-day summer school is to equip participants with the insights and skills necessary to translate the generalities of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into tangible reform for persons with disabilities. The teaching faculty includes senior academics, practitioners and policy makers from around the world who have been directly and actively engaged in drafting and implementing the Convention. The participants will similarly be from around the world and will bring great diversity to the debate; including persons with disabilities, their families, civil society groups of persons with disabilities as well as advocates for disability law reform, lawyers, policy makers and policy analysts and others. The summer school is directed by Professor Gerard Quinn, Director of the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at NUI Galway and Professor Michael Stein, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and Executive Director, Harvard Law School Project on Disability. Professor Quinn states that, "This summer school is all about power - restoring power to persons with disabilities over their own lives and giving them knowledge and skills based on the new UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. Above all it belongs to the people affected and is structured in such a way as to enable people explore for themselves the relevance of the convention in their own lives and in the process of change." Further information is available from the summer school website at: http://www.nuigalway.ie/cdlp/summer_school/welcome.html. -ends-

Electric Guitar Project Scoops Avaya Prize
Thursday, 19 May 2011
Gearóid Moroney, a final year student in Electronic & Computer Engineering at NUI Galway has been awarded the Avaya Prize for the best final year project in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the College of Engineering & Informatics at NUI Galway. His project involved the development of a web based system to allow a remote user to automatically tune and then play an electric guitar. A native of Ennis, Co. Clare, Gearóid beat a number of other challengers whose projects included a mobile phone application to allow older people to monitor and manage their nutritional intake and exercise levels, and a novel electronic circuit used to increase the efficiency of generators, which utilise energy wasted by the forms of basic cookers used in households in developing countries, to produce electricity. Dr Michael Keane, Senior Manager with Avaya in Galway commented: "Avaya are delighted to continue with the sponsorship of this prize. We have recently announced expansion plans involving 75 new positions, many of which will be filled by graduates with the types of technical skills that we have seen in abundance in all of these excellent projects. We were greatly impressed by the standard of all the projects which we reviewed but Gearóid's project was particularly innovative. It involved the very challenging task of developing a number of different pieces of software and custom electronic hardware and then getting them all to work together to deliver a very novel and fun application." -Ends-

Conference and Launch of Major Research Resource at NUI Galway
Wednesday, 18 May 2011
A major electronic historical database will be launched at NUI Galway on Friday, 20 May. The database of the landed estates of Munster, c.1700-1900, contains information and a guide to research sources for 1,972 landed estates and some 3,230 estate houses in Munster.A similar database for Connacht was compiled three years ago and both provinces can now be accessed at the site www.landedestates.ie Since its launch, the Connacht guide has been 'visited' by tens of thousands of researchers and interested parties from dozens of countries across the globe. This major research database was created by Senior Archivist, Brigid Clesham, with Marie Boran, Special Collections Librarian at NUI Galway as Adjunct Research Advisor. The Technical Advisor was Joe Desbonnet. The research project under which this database created was government-funded, as part of NUI Galway's suite of research projects funded under PRTLI4. The Munster Landed Estates database will be officially launched by Dr Martin Mansergh, at the Moore Institute in NUI Galway on Friday, 20 May at 5.30 pm, during a Conference on Irish Landed Estates c.1700-1900, which will take place in the Moore Institute on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 May. Distinguished speakers at the Conference will include, Professor Joe Lee, Professor William Smyth, Dr Olwen Purdue, Caitriona Crowe, Finola Reid, Ciara Kerrigan and young researchers - Conor Montague, Joanne Mcentee and Laura Vickers- conducting research into aspects of the Irish landed estate and its influence. The conference programme may be consulted on the Moore Institute website. Commenting on the significance of this new major research database, NUI Galway's historian Professor Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh, academic Director of the Project, said: "This major research resource will be invaluable in assisting and supporting researchers -academics and members of the general public - working on aspects of the social, economic, political and cultural life of Ireland, notably rural society, from the early eighteenth century to the eve of the Great War". -Ends-

NUI Galway Library Hosts Abandoned Mansions Photo Exhibition
Tuesday, 17 May 2011
NUI Galway's James Hardiman Library will host renowned photographer Tarquin Blake's Abandoned Mansions of Ireland exhibition until Friday, 24 June. Opening today, this photographic project spans three years of research and documentation and contains more than 40 images of the lost estate houses of Ireland. Blake documents the end of the landed aristocracy in Ireland and the demise of their country mansion houses. His beautiful, haunting images of crumbling ruins convey an indefinable beauty in the decay - in the abandonment. The images are accompanied by history and folklore, telling of troubled times and private hardship. The exhibition also features two audio visual presentations. The exhibition will be launched on Friday, 27 May at 4pm by Professor Gearoid Ó Tuathaigh of NUI Galway's Moore Institute. Professor Ó Tuathaigh is Project Leader of Landed Estates and Country Houses in Connacht c1700-1914, a major historical database. Tarquin Blake will be present at the launch. Also on display will be items from the James Hardiman Library's landed estates collections. In 2010, Collins Press published a book of Tarquin Blake's photographs Abandoned Mansions of Ireland. More photographs can be viewed on his website: www.AbandonedIreland.com. Over the summer period, the Library will be open until 10pm Monday to Thursday, 5.30pm Fridays, and 10 am to 5pm Saturdays. Admission to the exhibition is free. -Ends-

Experts Convene to Explore Molecules' Influence on Disease
Tuesday, 17 May 2011
International experts will gather at NUI Galway later this month to further the scientific knowledge-base surrounding microRNA profiling. MicroRNAs are a class of newly discovered molecules within our cells that control the activity of genes. The regulation and function of microRNAs is still poorly understood, but they are required for the normal functioning of our bodies. When their behaviour is perturbed, disease, such as cancer, can arise. As a result, there is enormous interest worldwide in developing microRNAs as diagnostic markers and even as therapeutics to treat a range of conditions. The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) practical course entitled 'MicroRNA-profiling, from in-situ hybridization to next-generation sequencing' takes place at NUI Galway from 21 to 27 May. MicroRNA research at NUI Galway has been a growing area since 2006, supported in part by a Transfer of Knowledge Grant from the EU (under Marie Curie Framework 6). Research groups in the Schools of Medicine and Science (headed by Professor Michael Kerin, Dr Linda Howard, Dr Nicola Miller and Dr Sanjeev Gupta, amongst others) are investigating microRNAs. Their work is focussed on diagnostics for cancer, regenerative medicine and a broad range of basic research areas from cell death to cell cycle regulation. These NUI Galway researchers will support a team of international experts who will come to Galway to train a group of 22 scientists from all over the world in the latest techniques for investigating microRNAs, as part of the EMBO course. The course will bring to NUI Galway basic and clinical researchers with interests ranging from marine algae, and viniculture to regenerative medicine and cancer therapy to learn the latest advances in microRNA techniques. The course instructors are drawn from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the Cambridge Cancer Centre, University of Cambridge and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and include Dr Eric Miska and Dr Greg Hannon, two very highly respected scientists in the microRNA field. The core of the team are experts from the EMBL-Gene Core, led by Dr Vladimir Benes who will share their extensive experience in techniques ranging from microarrays, in situ hybridization and RNA sequencing. Dr Howard Fearnhead, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, School of Medicine at NUI Galway said, "MicroRNAs are small RNAs that are critically involved in controlling an enormously wide range of cellular processes through direct posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. The realisation that these, and other small RNAs, are so important has driven an explosion of research activity that aims to identify, characterize and understand microRNA regulation and function. With this increase in interest comes the need to provide training in the cutting edge research technologies. The course at NUI Galway fulfils this requirement very well by bringing together highly motivated non-experts and a team of international experts to study, discuss and share a fascinating area of modern cell biology." The meeting is co-organised by Dr Howard Fearnhead, NUI Galway, in collaboration with Dr Vladimir Benes, and Dr Mirco Castoldi, EMBL-Heidelberg, and Dr Donal O'Carroll, EMBL-Montorotondo. -Ends-

Tuesday, 17 May 2011
NUI Galway invites all graduates from the classes of 2001 and 2006 to attend its Reunion BBQ and Disco on Saturday, 11 June. The reunion begins at 7:00 pm and brings together those classes celebrating their 10th and 5th reunions for a fun, informal evening in the Students' Union Bar overlooking the River Corrib - a perfect location for the Reunion BBQ event. Entertainment will be provided by College Bar regular DJ Byrno who will play hits from the late 1990s and 2000s. Emma Goode, Alumni Project Manager, encourages alumni to come along: "Reunion is that perfect excuse to put the date in your diary and say 'Right, that's the day we'll all get together again'. Busy lives mean that old friends fall out of touch and we're told regularly that graduates look for these occasions to pull out the stops. Many alumni from the classes of 2001 and 2006 have already booked their places and they never regret making the effort. You never know who'll be there." The Alumni Association serves over 80,000 alumni worldwide with an extensive range of programmes administered by the Alumni Office. These include Alumni Clubs, both national and international, Alumni Publications, Reunions and Alumni Awards. Graduates who are interested in getting involved with any of the above programmes are encouraged to contact the Alumni Office for further details.

Last night, we celebrated FADER #83 at The Wooly in lower Manhattan. Budweiser hooked up the bar and Ducktails performed a set of new songs from his upcoming album, The Flower Lane, in what we're guessing was his first-ever financial district show. DJ Sliink, among our People to Watch in 2013 list from the issue, warmed things up with insane remixes of "Get Your Freak On" and Jeremih's "773 Love" while people cooled down with vitaminwater. Pretty cozy holiday send-off. Check out photos from the night above, and sign up for our mailing list for invites to FADER parties around the country.

542bhp Brit brawls with 631bhp of American muscle. But which will come out on top?
Posted: 03 Apr 2014
These days, with roads clogging up, municipal budgets falling and spare time being something only the few have to burn, it doesn't matter how long you spend planning a road trip, there's every chance something other than the weather will appear and cock it up.
That's why more and more people in the US are turning to private race tracks to get their guaranteed thrills. Over the past few years, loads of these tarmac oases have sprung up, and there's now more than 150 of them across the US - that's an average of three per state.

Well she is doing better than me. Taught herself how to use a computer in a year, I graduated with an IT degree and still get my butt kicked almost every day by these stupid machines. But then that must mean all righties suck at using computers as that seems to be a lefty theme. One righty said something or did something so it applies to all of them.
Sure the central theme is there small government with limited power, but individuals are just that. Don't lump everyone in the same basket off one individual; that is called stereotyping something you lefties are supposed to hate.

Autumn Internationals: Scotland face South Africa at Murrayfield
Last Updated: 17/11/13 7:48am
Scotland coach Scott Johnson has made a number of changes to his side for Sunday's Viagogo Autumn Test against South Africa.
Greig Laidlaw has been handed the captain's armband in place of Kelly Brown, who drops out of the 23-man party for Murrayfield.
Brown's role at flanker is taken by John Barclay while Duncan Taylor replaces the injured Matt Scott with props Alasdair Dickinson and Moray Low coming into the pack alongside Jim Hamilton.
British and Irish Lion Richie Gray returns to the second row after coming off the bench in Saturday's 42-17 victory over Japan, and he could figure in the line-up alongside his younger brother Jonny, a fellow-lock forward, who has been named among the replacements.
As in the past, Euan Murray's religious beliefs have ruled him out of Sunday's match while Ryan Grant, who suffered a head injury against Japan last weekend, has to settle for a place on the bench.
South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer has made five changes to his starting XV to face Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday.
Lock Bakkies Botha returns for his first Test outing since the 2011 World Cup and there are also places for prop Gurthro Steenkamp, hooker Adriaan Strauss and full-back Willie Le Roux, while Pat Lambie switches to fly-half.
Botha has been in the wilderness since signing a lucrative contract to move to France, where he won the Heineken Cup with Toulon last season.
Flanker Willem Alberts and utility back Morne Steyn will also take part after being passed fit - Alberts is in Meyer's starting XV with Steyn on the bench.
There will also be a landmark cap for winger JP Pietersen who is set to make his 50th Test appearance, becoming the fifth Sprinbgok player to reach that mark this season.
Scotland team: Maitland; Seymour, De Luca, Taylor, Lamont; Jackson, Laidlaw (capt); Denton, Barclay, Strokosch; Hamilton, Gray; Low, Ford, Dickinson.
Replacements: Lawson, Grant, Cross, Gray, Beattie, Cusiter, Weir, Evans
South Africa: Le Roux, Pietersen, Fourie, de Villiers (capt), Habana, Lambie, Du Preez; Steenkamp, Strauss, Malherbe, Botha, van der Merwe, Louw, Alberts, Vermeulen.
Replacements: du Plessis, Mtawarira, Oosthuizen, Etzebeth, Coetzee, Pienaar, Steyn, Engelbrecht.

Valve, via its venerable and free-to-play first person shooter Team Fortress 2, is getting into the spirit of giving with new Christmas presents for good little Engineers, Heavies, Pyros and Spies. What mysteries lie wrapped in festive foil in the Australian Christmas update?
The Engineer and Pyro classes now have access to the Braniac Pack and Moonman Pack, respectively. Each consists of new weapons and accessories designed by the folks at WETA, including a wrench with teleportation powers, a pair of retro sci-fi guns and a "maths-enhancing" hairdo. There's also a new Capture Point map, Foundry.
A smattering of new additions are also inbound for the Scout, Heavy and Spy, namely a tube of wrapping paper, festively knit boxing gloves and a deadly icicle.
Valve and the TF2 team go into great detail about the Australian Christmas pack(s) at the game's official site, which also includes one spiritedly amusing web comic.

A one-stop ideas and information portal for UK couples planning an overseas wedding, Marry Abroad offers direct links to over 70 wedding planners, venues and honeymoon hotels in a wide range of exciting international destinations.
Now in its sixth year, Marry Abroad has recently expanded to include information, advice and wedding planners from countries as diverse as Egypt, Belize and Hawaii. With all this information clearly laid out in one place and easily searchable, the only difficult part is deciding which destination to pick!
Over the past six years the destination wedding industry has seen a rise of 27% in ceremonies abroad, with a corresponding 7% drop in UK weddings. And nowadays fewer than 1 in 10 UK couples say they would not like to attend a wedding abroad or get married abroad.*
As more couples choose to have the wedding they really want, rather than the wedding their relatives want them to have, the choice of countries available for non-resident weddings continues to grow. In 2010 Portugal removed the 30 day residency period to allow non-resident EU citizens to get married (non-EU citizens still have to be resident for 30 days), thereby giving an instant boost to the wedding industry in the country, and more countries may well follow suit.
Charlotte Hand from http://www.marryabroad.co.uk said: "Reaching our millionth visitor is a very exciting time for us. We're delighted to provide couples with the details they need to make an informed decision as to where they'd like to get married.
"We have wedding planners on the site who can arrange ceremonies for all budgets, so there should be a planner for everyone, and visitors can always contact us directly if they have questions or would like any advice. We're looking forward to reaching our second millionth visitor even sooner!"

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 11:25AM
The online ads, created by Wieden+Kennedy Portland, have been posted on the Old Spice YouTube channel.
New hunk Fabio challenged Old Spice Guy Mustafa to a duel yesterday.
One ad features Mustafa talking to Fabio directly through the camera, saying "Hello Fabio. Call me crazy but I have a sneaky suspicion is that you are not actually Fabio.
"In fact I am certain that you are not Fabio as I am certain that is a creepy baby prop but I can't prove your not Fabio officially so therefore I think you may have won".
Another ad introduces a rapping Fabio look-alike, while others feature both Mustafa and Fabio separately answering questions posted on Twitter and Facebook from Beach Body Tony and KevKill, among others.
In the final execution Mustafa apologies to "ladies and handsomely men" for his absence from "planet earth" and for any "anxiety it might have caused".
He says he has been watching from a distance but "not in a creepy way" and "only in public places at appropriate times from afar like a big brother/superhero life figure minus the biological relation who cares about your safety deeply."
Mustafa then challenges Fabio to a duel at noon eastern standard time (5pm GMT).
Viewers have been asked to vote for who they think should win the duel via Twitter and Facebook. The winner has yet to be announced.

Otto II, Count of Habsburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Otto II, Count of Habsburg
|Hilla von Pfirt
|Noble family
|House of Habsburg
|Werner I, Count of Habsburg
|Reginlinde of Nellenburg
|8 November 1111
Otto II (died November 8, 1111) was a Graf of Habsburg (count) and one of the founding members of the Habsburg family. He was the son of Werner I, Count of Habsburg. In 1108, Otto accompanied Kaiser Heinrich V on a campaign against Hungary. On his return, in 1111, he was murdered. Otto was probably the first person to adopt the title "Graf von Habsburg".
He married Hilla, countess von Pfirt[1] (died c. 1076), with whom he had two children, Werner II and Adelheid.

Great job guys, just wondering (not to sure on this), but are they all your own assets/level sets?
Keep up the work, look forward to some more updates :)
"It's approximately a hundred years from now... The aftermath of the Third World War. Countries all over the world are suffering an economic crisis which has led to a dramatic food and water shortage. The countries that do have enough resources are under martial law, food and water are not being divided equally, consequently civil war has broken out.
The country you are in, China, has fallen under a military regime that is trying to bring China back to order by joining the World Union (WU). Joining the WU offers China a chance to resolve it's financial problems, securing it's position internationally.
To accomplish this, the regime has began exporting large amounts of China's resources, trading with the WU for military supplies to support the oppression of the civilians. A large portion of the population disagrees with China joining the WU and with the export of China's resources. This has led to the formation of rebel groups who try to fight off the military regime.
The WU has classified all rebel cells as terrorist groups and has agreed to help China get rid of them in order to obtain the needed food and water resources. After a failed attempt to evacuate most civilians, which resulted in the slaughter of many Chinese soldiers, China sends in high-tech military equipment, supplied by the WU, to sweep the partially evacuated areas, killing those who stayed behind... "

Hey guys, Finished a character concept, thought I'd update you guys! I timelapsed the whole ordeal and posted it on Vimeo. I will update my blog soon, but in the mean time head over to my CGHub.
Great job guys, just wondering (not to sure on this), but are they all your own assets/level sets?
Keep up the work, look forward to some more updates :)
As far as i know, we only used the water shader and a few rubble models from HL2 for this, which will be replaced later on.
Incredible level design!
Good luck!
Looking forward to seeing this, although, I'd like to know a little bit more ;).
Progress is going fast, just be patient.
