text:
After an introductory chapter and a review of two-dimensional systems of linear differential equations, Manneville introduces some classical examples of two-dimensional non-linear systems (the Duffing oscillator, the van der Pol oscillator) and discusses several techniques for solving these systems. The remainder of the text is devoted to modeling instability in fluids.
A fundamental example is: apply heat to the bottom of pot containing water and model how the water transitions from conduction to convection to turbulence. Manneville describes how the parameters of the system (the depth of the water, the viscosity of the water, the dimensions of the pot) establish thresholds (bifurcation points) which determine these transition points. He then turns his attention to the appearance of instability and turbulence in open flows such as occurs when an obstacle is placed in a flowing river. The models presented are meant to be practical representations of real-world behavior. As such, Manneville makes frequent references to experimental results, comparing the theoretical results to the empirical data and discussing hypotheses about why discrepancies exist.
The final chapter of the text is a generic discussion of why it is appropriate to use non-linear dynamics to model the Earth's climate; it does not introduce any additional mathematics or present any specific models of the Earth's climate (except for a very simple one as an exercise). The first appendix reviews the linear algebra used in the text. (It contains much more than is typically taught in a first course in linear algebra.) In a second appendix, the author provides a survey of numerical techniques for approximating solutions to initial value problems. Each of the eight chapters ends with some quite interesting exercises. They are often very involved, sometimes running for 2 or 3 pages each.
I like Manneville's decision to tell a story about instabilities in fluid dynamics. Unfortunately, it takes a while for this story to become apparent---the book would be much stronger if the path of the story were more clearly laid out in the introductory chapter. The drawback of his approach is that it is more difficult to lift specific techniques from such a text. However, I much prefer a narrative approach to a more traditional technique-example style. The pace of the text is probably too fast for most undergraduates. It requires the reader to be adept at the techniques of linear algebra, and ordinary and partial differential equations, and to have some knowledge of basic thermodynamics and Newtonian mechanics. For someone interested in seeing non-linear dynamics in a specific context, Instabilities, Chaos and Turbulence is a nice book.

Tuesday Recruitin' Blocks Through Whistle, Fence
Todays' recruiting roundup covers Laquon Treadwell's top five, new highlight tapes for Denzel Ward and Taco Charlton, new 2013 and 2014 offers, and more.
Reschke Offered, Treadwell's Top Five
Michigan's coaching staff raised some eyebrows over the weekend after finally offering 2013 Birmingham Brother Rice linebacker and MSU commit Jon Reschke, a Spartan legacy who hasn't shown much interest in the Wolverines. Since Michigan had previously turned away linebacker recruits like Alex Anzalone and E.J. Levenberry, saying they were full at the position, the offer caused concern that a current commit was looking around. That doesn't appear to be the case, according to Tremendous, with rumors that Mike McCray was considering Ohio State debunked.
So, why the offer? For one, Brother Rice is a very strong in-state program, and Reschke was reportedly none too pleased with the lack of an offer (or serious interest) from Michigan. More importantly, however, Reschke is a heck of a player—I thought he was deserving of an offer last year, and he's stepped up his game even more this season—and with the fluid nature of recruiting, it's entirely possible that the scholarship situation at linebacker has changed. While I'd be surprised if Reschke flipped from MSU, he's close friends with Shane Morris, and he'd be a worthy addition to the class.
Matters aren't looking up on the Laquon Treadwell front, unfortunately, as he named an ordered top five to Scout's Beth Long after Crete-Monee's state semifinal victory last weekend ($). That top five, in order: Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Michigan, Michigan State. Treadwell hasn't even visited the two Oklahoma schools yet, though officials are planned to both, but he has been to Oxford; barring a late turnaround—and in recruiting, that's not exactly unusual—this won't end well.
As for a backup plan, scratch MD WR Paul Harris off the list, as he reaffirmed his commitment to Tennessee despite the news of Derek Dooley's ouster, per Rivals's Adam Friedman ($). While Harris leaves some room to look around, it doesn't sound like he'll consider Michigan. Michigan did host a committed 2013 prospect last weekend in Trotwood-Madison CB Reon Dawson, an Illinois commit, according to 247's Clint Brewster. The three-star could be another option if/when Gareon Conley starts taking visits.
Michigan also handed out a 2014 offer last weekend, to FL WR Artavis Scott, high school teammate of offered OL Mason Cole, per multiple outlets. Scott is a four-star on all three sites that have released early rankings and is also on the ESPN150 Watch List, so he's universally regarded as a top prospect. The Wolverines have established themselves as one of Cole's early leaders, which should help them with Scott; both visited for the Michigan State game.

Monday Recruitin' Sinks The Ship
Today's recruiting roundup discusses the Dawson decommitment and potential replacements, the updated 2013 Top247, the return of Shane Morris, a potential early 2014 commit, and more.
Point Of No Return
Ethan Pocic: Potential Dawson replacement?
Despite an summer flirtation with Florida, David Dawson seemingly decommitted out of the blue yesterday. He was quick to name a new leader in the Gators, however, and InsideTheGators.com suggests that this may have actually been a long time coming ($) [emphasis mine]:
Word of the two-sides parting ways first started gaining momentum back in the summer, when during The Opening Dawson openly spoke of decommitting from Michigan, telling several of his fellow Wolverines commitments of his plan.
However, after speaking with the UM coaching staff, Dawson decided to stand pat.
Then a month ago, a person close to the situation told Inside the Gators that Dawson was on the verge of making a change, and it would happen in a matter of days, before then saying that it would happen during the week leading up to the Florida-LSU game.
Chatter on Florida message boards suggests that Dawson reached out to Florida multiple times attempting to set up a visit, including before the LSU game, and it may in fact have been a Gator coach who clued in the Michigan staff to what was going on. It that's indeed the case, this quote from Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher should not come as a surprise at all ($):
"They are done," said Wilcher regarding whether the Wolverines will continue courting his star lineman. "That ship has sailed… sunk.. whatever you want to call it."
Regardless of how things went down, I'd encourage everyone to wish Dawson well and move on. Sour grapes are not a good look when we're talking about the decisions of high school kids.
Michigan is certainly moving on, as The M Block reports that the Wolverines have already reached out to LSU commit Ethan Pocic, who was very high on Michigan before the available spots on the line filled up. Pocic maintains that he's firmly committed to the Tigers and will take his only official visit there; that's to be expected at this juncture, of course, so we'll see how things develop. While Dawson was slated to play guard and Pocic is a pure tackle prospect, Michigan could easily shift Chris Fox down to guard and maintain a full five-man line class with every position covered—Logan Tuley-Tillman and Pocic at tackle, Fox and Kyle Bosch at guard, and Patrick Kugler at center.
Tremendous throws in their two cents about potential replacements for Dawson, including Pocic, Notre Dame commit Colin McGovern, MSU commit Dennis Finley (yet to be offered, but one could come), and UCLA commit Scott Quessenberry, a high school teammate of freshman Erik Magnuson. They also dispel the notion that Dawson's departure could affect the recruitment of VA RB Derrick Green; the pair had struck up a friendship over the summer, but Green told Tremendous that the decommitment will "not at all" affect his status with the Wolverines.

Monday Recruitin' Breastfed A Flamingo Back To Health
Today's recruiting roundup discusses Laquon Treadwell's new top five, the Gareon Conley non-situation, last weekend's high school football action, and more.
Noted Amateur Chef Names Top Five
As you'll learn from the above video, IL WR Laquon Treadwell apparently has some talent in the kitchen in addition to the football field. You'll also find out that he has a new top five, in no particular order, of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Michigan State, and Michigan. It appears this was "Interview Laquon Treadwell Week" as you learn from various sources that:
- Treadwell's list is a final one... for now, via Rivals' Josh Helmholdt ($).
- He's "basically ready to get this over with" after he takes his officials, while the two Oklahoma schools and Ole Miss have been in the most contact, via 247's Steve Wiltfong ($).
- He's probably going to announce his decision at the Under Armour All-American game, though possibly earlier, according to ESPN's Chantel Jennings ($).
Treadwell has official visits in the works for Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Ole Miss, and plans to take unofficials to Ann Arbor (for the MSU game) and East Lansing before making a decision.
As for the direction this one is headed, I don't know, man. I still feel like Michigan has a better shot than any other school on the list; the problem is there are four other schools on the list, and the only choice that would truly shock me is Michigan State. We'll see what he's saying after his visit for the State game; if Michigan hasn't distinguished themselves from the field at that point, it's cause for serious concern.

Future Blue Originals: Pickerington Central vs. Pickerington North
My latest foray into the world of high school football took me deep into the heart of Buckeye country to see the cross-town rivalry between Pickerington North and Pickerington Central. Before I get into the game recap and scouting, a few words on the atmosphere: this was the most enjoyable experience I've had at a high school game, and it isn't particularly close.
It started at the church next to the football stadium, where I got paid a dollar to park. The stands at Central were packed on both sides well before kickoff, everyone decked out in their school colors. The game ball was flown in via skydiver (seriously—I have photographic proof). It was louder than a lot of college venues. Best of all, despite this being a heated rivalry, the fans were civil—there was trash talk, to be sure, but nothing that went beyond that. At one point, the Central mascot walked up to me on the sideline and asked if I was enjoying the game.
The game itself wasn't the expected tight contest, as North—0-5 to that point against Central, including a playoff loss—broke it open in the second half and ran away with a 37-0 victory. It was a very emotional experience for both Michigan commits. North's Jake Butt embraced teammate and Northwestern commit Godwin Igwebuike in the waning minutes, triumphant in a long-awaited victory. On the opposite sideline, Central's Taco Charlton sat alone, head buried in his hands, barely acknowledging those that came up to console him.
This is how rivalry games should be, and it was a pleasure to be there to witness it.
[Video, photos, and scouting report after THE JUMP.]
Monday Recruitin' Is Focused
Today's recruiting roundup discusses last weekend's high school football action, the latest on Leon McQuay III, and the inspiring story of David Dawson.
Warning: Dust Storm Ahead
At Cass Tech's game against Detroit Renaissance a couple weeks ago, Technician lineman and Michigan commit David Dawson received his Under Armour All-American jersey in a halftime ceremony. As you can see above, it was an emotional moment for Dawson and his family, for reasons that went far beyond the football field; it's been a tumultuous year for Dawson, who lost his father in a car accident in April.
Your must-read article of today, then, is Mick McCabe's tear-jerker of a profile on Dawson—it's hard to imagine going through such a difficult situation as a high school senior:
"One day, a few days before the accident, I got in the car and he was staring at me for 5 minutes," Dawson said. "I asked him why he was staring at me. He said: 'I'm extremely proud of what you're doing now.' When I thought about that, it sent me into an emotional wreck."
When his father died, nothing seemed important to Dawson anymore. Not football, not school, not anything.
"He's still dealing with it," said his mother. "He's a little better. He's getting through it. I let him talk about it. If he has to cry, he cries; if he has to talk, he'll talk.["]
There's much more in the full article, from similarly heartbreaking reflections on Dawson's father to more lighthearted anecdotes about his football career. You root for every commit to excel at Michigan, of course, but you root extra hard for David Dawson.
[Commitment stat roundup and much more after THE JUMP.]
Tuesday Recruitin' Moves On
Today's recruiting roundup covers last weekend's high school action, bids farewell to a couple wide receiver targets, and looks forward to a big visit weekend for... basketball?
Get That Man A Square-Toed Shoe
Michigan commits Jaron Dukes (Marion-Franklin) and Taco Charlton (Pickerington Central) faced off against each other this past weekend; Central came away with a 45-24 victory, and MGoUser Dubs was there to take in the action. If you're looking to submit a scouting report for Future Blue Originals, this is how it's done:
DE/LB Taco Charlton, 2013: Despite Marion-Frankin running away from Taco (about 80% of the time), he managed to rack up 8 tackles, and a tackle for loss (zero sacks). It was about 50/50 as to whether he had his hand down as a DE, or whether he was lined up as an OLB. Pickerington Central did show multiple fronts, ranging from a 3-3-5(!), 3-4, and a 4-3 (with Taco as DE). He even saw around 5 snaps on offense, and caught a nice PA-pass for a 15 yard touchdown in the 3rd quarter. He did leave early in the 4th quarter after an apparent shoulder injury (possibly a stinger). But after being checked with a trainer, Taco was out there after a couple of plays, only to be banned to the sideline for the rest of the game after the game was well in hand. Pickerington Central won 45-24.
As far as the "eyeball test," I must admit I was a little disappointed at Taco's lack of aggression. There were moments when a sure passing down approached, and I expected to see that pass-rushing prowess we all read about in 7 on 7's this summer, but I did not see it. The tackle guarding him was very large (some may say "fat," but I don't want to personally attack a kid), and VERY slow, so I was expecting Taco to beat him off the line, lower his shoulder, and destroy the QB. Instead, he relied more on his inside spin more than anything. I will suspect that perhaps, it was because the QB was a very good athlete, Taco was in charge of contain more than anything. Marion-Franklin sent a back to chip Taco's outside pass-rush, as well, which also would limit his opportunities. However, I feel there were times where Taco could have taken over the game but did not. I do not know if it is a motor issue, or the coaches playing him conservatively against a dual threat QB.
WR Jaron Dukes, 2013: It was very difficult for Dukes to get involved, mostly because the Marion-Franklin QB relied more on his feet than anything. The throws the QB did make were hitches, outs, slants, and screens of all sorts. That being said, Dukes still managed to haul in 5 passes (out of 8 targets) for about 42 yards. He was targeted for a TD jump-ball thrown to him early in the 1st quarter, in which he had a height advantage of at least 6 inches over the opposing defender, however, the ball was vastly under-thrown, and was broken up. Dukes also dropped a possible TD pass (at least a very large gain) during the hurry-up in the waning seconds of the 2nd. Dukes also handled the kickoff duties, which, if Michigan is looking for some sort of "Tom Dempsey style" kicker/WR hybrid, they got their man.
As far as the eyeball test goes, Dukes did not seem to show a lot of explosiveness, either off the line or to create separation against the defenders (it was kind of a soggy/muggy night, so the field may have been less-than-pristine). There were many times in which the QB was scrambling and, rather than hit that extra gear, he seemed to simply jog. Perhaps he is not used to getting much "love," as most of the passing offense derived from the slot receivers (which if true, why not put Dukes in slot?). I will say this, he did look strong after the catch, breaking a few arm tackles and showing of a pretty solid stiff-arm.
Overall, I felt that these two looked the part of a D-1 prospect. However, it is hard to tell their true potential based on their supporting cast: obviously you'll run away from Taco because his supporting DE looked half his size. And it's hard to get any love as an outside receiver when your QB cannot make the throws. So, I had to remind myself: these kids are prospects. And with that, I have great faith in the Michigan coaches that they can mold these kids into serviceable players or, hopefully, even stars.
A huge thanks to Dubs for sending this in, as well as bringing up the possibility of a Michigan wide receiver also handling kicks "Tom Dempsey style."

Yes, you read right... My mac got run over!!! <
I had a really hectic day leading up to Christmas, and managed to leave my laptop (in its bag) next to my car when I was loading lots of other bags into my car back at the car park! ,
I thought I'd lost it for good... But someone kindly handed the bag & computer in after I'd gone.
What I didn't realise until I got it back, and opened it at home, was that the keyboard was sticking up a little and the 14" screen is busted...
This could only have been through the pressure of someone running over it. (Hopefully not me! - I think I would've felt the bump!)
The impressive thing is that the whole outer shell is in tact - they really do make'em strong!
And I can also hear that it's turning on, and so seems to be working. But obviously I can't do anything on it, as I can't see the screen! It's fractured-looking and stays black (although the front cover of the screen is smooth, so it's obviously broken behind...)
The other thing that's happening is that the disc-drive is whirring & clicking like it's trying to eject the disc that's in there (there was a music disc in there when I lost it)...
So! My question basically is - are any of these things fixable?
The computer sounds like it's coming on so I don't think it's totally screwed... But where's the best place to try & get a new screen fitted?
And, if a keyboard's been run over & warped a bit, will it work again?
Same with a disc-drive...?
But even if the drive can't be fixed, I'll happily carry on using the laptop without it, as most of what I do on it is internet & work-based.
It's an old laptop now - an iBook G4 that I've had since 2004! But, it's my only computer, it's been a loyal old friend to me, and I bought it with money left to me by my grandmother when she died. ,
So I'm pretty sentimental about it & really want to try and save it!
Any advice would be VERY gratefully received!
I live in the UK (currently working in Swansea, Wales), and although there's not an Apple store nearby, there is a branch of 'AT Computers' who are Apple specialists. D'you think they'd be worth a try?
Thank you so much for your time! I'm a new user on the Forum and really hope someone out there can help me! }
I feel like such a dufus, and sad that I've let this happen to my poor little mac!

But I'll ring the local store and see what they say... I know when I needed a new battery before they couldn't help me, they said my model was too old, and advised me to go online at Amazon & get a battery there, which I did. But like you say, I'd rather trust these more serious things to a pro really, I don't feel confident in taking an iBook apart, even if I do manage to get the parts online more cheaply...
Will call them & see if they can do anything, then report back with my findings!
Thanks so much, again... I'm not a big forum-user generally, but it's really good to know you guys are here, & I feel less alone with my pretty stressful problem!
Have a good night, & I'll let you know how I get on...

1000 Steps, Day by Day.
It can be difficult for the mind to grasp the idea that a little step in any particular direction can lead you to some goal that, at the moment, feels like it is 1000 miles away.
It could be because, in our lives, we take so many small steps in so many directions, steps that don't seem to ever go anywhere. We pick up a paintbrush and take a step towards being an artist. We strum a guitar and think of being a musician. We hold someone's hand and wonder where it is going to go. There are so many things we might do, things we could do, that the mind reaches into the unknown and probes, instantly and endlessly, the possibilities of what might be, down the road. And it can start to feel this was when you are taking the 1000 step journey towards building your fitness, learning to defend yourself and aiming for your Blackbelt.
Sometimes, this can lead to a loss of motivation, it can cause you to almost give up on what you are trying to achieve, even though you may be one step away from actually achieving it.
But being aware of the importance of each step is just a part of the process of intentionally putting one foot in from of the other in a particular direction. There's a stubbornness, a persistence, a level of confidence, and a belief put into practice that must accompany you on your journey. Those ingredients become a mindset and the mindset is: "If this (what ever "this" is) is truly important to me, then I am setting out on this path with the idea that I will take, at the very least, 1000 steps in the direction needed to get where I want to be.
Take your step, whether it is one healthy meal, one more class you attend, your first class you attend, one kind word aimed at the relationship you are nurturing, or one workout designed to shape a healthier you, and live it with joy and full absorption. Then add to it the simple understanding that you will, happily and with a dogged determination, one step at a time, do 999 other "acts," until you have taken 1000 steps in that direction. With that kind of thinking, you will greatly reduce your chance of failure.
You will also have a tool in your toolbox that sets you apart from 99% of other people, people who also want to achieve their goals, but who aren't yet armed with a pragmatic understanding of the kind of effort most worthwhile goals require.
Keep taking your steps, one at a time, and you will make it – Keep Training Hard!

Miss Indiana USA is a Harrison grad
A Harrison High School graduate became the new Miss Indiana USA on Sunday.
Jami Stallings, 20, of Evansville was crowned at the conclusion of a three-day pageant at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville, Ind., according to a news release from the pageant.
Stallings was so convinced that the runner-up, Megan Bailey of Indianapolis, was going to win, that before her name was announced, she turned to Bailey and said, "Have a great time at Miss USA," according to her mother, Anne Heinrich of Newburgh.
When Bailey was named runner-up, Stallings burst into tears and her cheering section of more than 25 people erupted, Heinrich said.
"She worked real hard, and she deserved it," said her father, Jim Stallings of Evansville.
Stallings, a junior at O'More College of Design in Franklin, Tenn., began training in September, exercising two to three hours a day and eating "a very healthy diet," Heinrich said.
In 2003, Stallings was named Miss Indiana Teen USA, an experience that her parents said helped prepare her for the adult competition.
After college, Stallings plans to become a fashion designer and a boutique owner. She enjoys sewing, sketching, photography and watching Bravo's reality show, "Project Runway."
Stallings is also a breast-cancer advocate and has volunteered for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Mercy Children's Clinic. She will represent Indiana at the annual Miss USA Pageant, which will be broadcast live on NBC-TV next spring.

I've definitely recommended products to both readers and friends that haven't worked out as well as I wanted them to! One of the hardest parts about making strong recommendations is that a lot of products are your-mileage-may-vary kind of products – which means sometimes they're fantastic for many but not-so-great for a few. I think, overall, I haven't steered my friends too far off course and luckily, I've helped them find some holy grails, too (And hopefully, that statement is true with readers!)

A controversial report recommending reforms to UK employment law released yesterday has generated mixed reactions from politicians and commentators.
The report conducted by Conservative-backer Adrian Beecroft was commissioned to find ways to free up British business from the dreaded 'red-tape' in a bid to boost employment and get the economy moving forward again.
The report includes proposals to shorten the consultation period for redundancies from 90 days to 30 days and to place a cap on compensation for loss-of-earnings for those dismissed for discriminatory reasons.
The Beecroft report also includes proposals to reform the rights which workers can 'carry over' to a new company if their old employer is taken over.
It is thought that changing the law in favour of employers might stimulate further employment opportunities and boost fiscal growth.
Some legal commentators have pointed out, however, that many of the report's proposals are policies which were already circulating in government.
Christopher Mordue is an employment lawyer at firm Pinsent Masons.
According to Out-Law, Mr Mordue said: "The political controversy around the Beecroft report gives the impression that it is full of new ideas, at the radical or maverick end of a 'pro-business' approach, [but] a large part of the report actually ties in with reforms already announced or proposed in current government consultations."
One of the more controversial reforms included in the report would allow small businesses to opt-out of legislation including that for unfair dismissal, effectively allowing managers to make 'no-fault dismissals'.
This proposal has been met with a cool response from Business Secretary Vince Cable.
"Businesses are much more concerned about access to finance or weak demand than they are about [unfair dismissal]," said Mr Cable.
"At a time when workers are proving to be flexible in difficult economic conditions it would almost certainly be counterproductive to increase fear of dismissal," he added.
Vince Cable calls sacking plans in Beecroft report 'the wrong approach' (BBC)
Controversial employment law report "not full of new ideas", says legal expert (Out-Law)

The Denmark international joined the Blues last summer on a two-year contract but has since scored only three league goals in 22 appearances.
The former Rangers, Schalke and Newcastle man is now focused on working his way back into Lee Clark's plans as the club prepare for next season.
He told the Birmingham Mail: "It has been tough. It has been hard to just sit there and not get involved.
"I played the first game and then bang, I was on the bench and it's been stop-start for me ever since.
"I've experienced this situation at other clubs and you have to take it on the chin and keep working hard.
"I've just got to keep positive and hopefully it will come again for me."

- Willamette celebrates holiday season
Star trees lighting and holiday concert at Willamette University.
Current News
Willamette celebrates holiday season with food, music and more in December
Singing carols, sipping hot chocolate and tree-lighting are among an array of holiday activities taking place at Willamette University Dec. 2 to 9.
The celebrations include:
John Doan Victorian Christmas Concert, Dec. 2
Celebrating its 25th season at Willamette, "A Victorian Christmas with John Doan," promises an evening of old fashioned holiday fun Dec. 2.
The event begins at 8 p.m. in Hudson Hall within the Rogers Music Center. It features a live version of Doan's Emmy-nominated Public Broadcasting television special, which reenacts how Christmas may have been celebrated a century ago.
The show explores how the Victorians invented Christmas traditions, complete with the harp guitar, classical banjo, ukelin and other authentic instruments. The thoughtful, and often zany, performance includes audience sing-alongs and whistle alongs, an Edison phonograph and a multi-media presentation of rare archival photos showing people making their own music.
Doan is a Willamette music professor and a touring and recording artist who has appeared on radio and television across the country. He will play more than a dozen turn-of-the century instruments once popular in American parlors, on vaudeville stages and in mandolin orchestras.
Advanced tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for seniors 65 and older, children and students younger than 18. They are available at the Music Department or by calling 503-370-6255.
At the door, tickets cost $18 per person. Willamette University students, faculty and staff may acquire free tickets up to one week prior to the event, although the number is limited.
Star Trees Lighting and Holiday Concert, Dec. 3
The 15th annual Star Trees Lighting and Holiday Concert will begin with a holiday dinner and end with a free concert Dec. 3.
Dinner will be served from 4 to 7 p.m. in Goudy Commons. The menu features such mouth-watering entrees as Northwest alder-smoked roasted turkey with an Oregon ground cherry and cranberry sauce, seared Painted Hills beef tips with wild mushrooms and roasted garlic and smoked Gouda macaroni and cheese. Desserts include red velvet cup cakes, Irish cream filled cream puffs, eggnog cheesecake bites and gingerbread cookies.
No reservations are needed. The cost is $10.75 for adults, $7.50 for Willamette faculty, staff and students and $6 for 5- to 8-year-olds. Children 4 and younger eat for free if accompanied by an adult.
The star tree lighting of the Giant Sequoias will begin at 6:30 p.m. in front of Waller Hall, where free hot chocolate and cookies will be served. The Interfraternity Council will accept donations of coats and clothing at Goudy Commons and during the lighting ceremony to benefit people in need.
The five trees were planted 70 years ago by Willamette President Carl Sumner Knopf in honor of Willamette's centennial. They are now some of the largest trees on any American campus.
The lighting ceremony will be followed by a free family concert at 7 p.m. at Smith Auditorium, sponsored by the university's music department. The Willamette University Wind Ensemble and special guests will perform an array of seasonal music. Seating is limited.
Christmas in Hudson, Dec. 8 and 9
The Willamette University Music Department is exploring the historic roots of the Christmas season through a holiday concert Dec. 8 and 9.
The non-commercial presentation takes place in the ornately decorated Hudson Hall within the Rogers Music Center. It begins at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:45 p.m, each day.
The performance has its Willamette roots in the Lessons and Carols service created in Oxford, England. Willamette adds to the flavor by having rhetoric Professor Jeanne Clark give seasonal readings to connect the carols sung by the audience and the special feature selections performed by Male Ensemble Willamette, Voce Femminile and the Chamber Orchestra.
Tickets cost $8 (festival seating) for all ages and may be purchased Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Music Department office in the Rogers Music Center. They may be charged by phone by calling 503-370-6255.
Tickets will also be available for purchase before each concert, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the music office. Will-call ticket pickup will begin at the same time.

American Forces Press Service
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21, 2004 With so many U.S. troops on lengthy deployments overseas, the Family Literacy Foundation is helping ease fear, uncertainty and anxiety in children in military families through a program called "Uniting Through Reading."
Uniting Through Reading enables deployed parents onboard Navy ships, at air stations abroad, and in tents throughout the world to share their love and support with their children by reading favorite books on videotape.
"We have had amazing feedback about the positive effects of this program," said Betty Mohlenbrock, founder of the Family Literacy Foundation. "Children read aloud and talk to their parent while watching the videotape. The spouse at home tapes that reaction and sends it overseas. The morale of the whole family is boosted."
The program has many benefits: children's fears are eased, deployed parents get a chance to share their love and support, and children receive essential communication and literacy skills.
Uniting Through Reading offers children a chance to see their deployed parent's face, listen to the parent's voice and read along as the parent reads them a children's story. It also allows them to spend as much time with the deployed parent as they wish by watching the videotape over and over again.
Developed during the Gulf War in 1991, Uniting Through Reading is available on all carrier strike groups, expeditionary strike groups, and Marine Corps expeditionary units and construction battalions, representing approximately 20,000 families on ships and in land-based units.
"Deployment doesn't only affect those who have volunteered for service. It affects hundreds of thousands of children as well," said Mohlenbrock. "Our goal is to lessen the strain of separation and increase bonding through the positive, educational experience that reading aloud provides."

With a whole heap of festivals such as Wireless, Best and the mother of all music events Glastonbury just around the corner, T3 picks the essential tech gear that will help you survive the festival season
The festival season is already in full swing and with Glastonbury, arguably the biggest of them all just days away, it's probably about time that you thought about what you'll be carrying along with you wellies.
From washing off the mud, to staying in touch with your fellow festival goers, see below for T3's guide to the tech that will help you survive whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at you, plus the tech-friendly festivals to keep an eye out for in 2011.
How to keep in touch:
Option 1
Rig up a makeshift campsite network with a ball of string and empty Spam tins
Option 2
Master the lost art of smoke signals
Option 3
Buy a disposable PAYG handset to carry with you instead of your precious smartphone
Alternatively... Motorola TLKR T8 PMR radio walkie-talkies
These have a range of ten kilometres, enough for any festival site, and are unaffected by the signal issues that can blight your phone. Talk for 16 hours per charge, but remember to end all sentences with "over". Over
£90 per pair, www.currys.co.uk
How to pitch a tent:
Option 1
Watch a how-to clip on YouTube using your smartphone and attempt to replicate
Option 2
Download the Go Camping app and follow the step-by-step guidelines
Option 3
Bribe a more capable festival-goer with cider so that they'll do it for you
Alternatively... Vango Velocity 400 AirBeam
Forget traditional tent poles; the Vango Velocity is held up by three inflatable support beams. It's fully waterproof, sleeps four and can be pitched in three minutes.
£415, www.vango.co.uk
How to keep your phone charged
Option 1
Keep your phone warm in a sock overnight: cold batteries deplete faster
Option 2
Weather the queues at one of the multi-port charging stations, if you can fi nd it
Option 3
Turn off both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity then hope for the best
Alternatively... Ralph Lauren RLX
Solar-panel backpack this designer rucksack features a solar panel capable of generating 3.45W of energy, enough to fully charge your smartphone in two hours.
$795, www.ralphlauren.com
How to find your tent
Option 1
Use the TentFinder app for iPhone
Option 2
Fence your tent with glow sticks
Option 3
Mark your locale on Google Maps
Alternatively... Ecco GPS keychain
Click the fob when you're at your tent and it records your location, subsequently guiding you back via the LCD screen.
The battery lasts two weeks – apps do a similar job but drain precious juice from your phone
£49, www.firebox.co.uk
How to keep clean
Option 1
Use gravel to rub yourself clean, as recommended by the SAS, no less
Option 2
Purchase Super Soakers (£26, www.firebox.com) and hand them to nearby festival goers
Option 3
Lather up and attempt to replicate the Windigokan tribe's native rain dance
Alternatively... Gelert Royal Solar Shower
Fill this 20-litre, reusable PVC bag with water and leave it outside to be heated up by Mother Nature. Three hours left out in the sun – even during a British summer – will give you a 40ºC shower
£4.50, www.gooutdoors.co.uk
Tech Friendly festivals
LEEDS (August 26-28)
Thirty cash points dotted around the festival mean you needn't keep a wodge of cash in your shoe.
HOPFARM (July 1-2)
Having announced the line-up, Hop Farm is offering a teaser – the HFMF Spotify playlist.
GLASTONBURY (June 22-26)
Orange is erecting extra transmitters for more network coverage and festival-goers can charge their handsets at the onsite Orange Help Centre.
T IN THE PARK (July 7-11)
Hundreds of lockers are available for hire, each with a 12V charger for your gadgets.
WAKESTOCK (July 8-10)
Free to download, the Wakestock 2011 app lets you access full set listings, interactive maps and a personal festival itinerary.
V-FESTIVAL (Aug 20-21)
Virgin Media has cabled both the Staffordshire and Chelmsford sites so that you can hook up to Wi-Fi anywhere on site.

Classic BBC prison drama returns
Well, sort of returns. The cast of Tenko, the 80s prisoner of war drama series, are certainly reuniting to launch what looks to be a frankly incredible book all about the show, Remembering Tenko.
How could we forget? Thirty-one episodes of wonderful female-led drama that gays of a certain age watched with their mums. Stephanie Beacham, Louise Jameson, Stephanie Cole, Ann Bell… Amazing. In fact, we'd pretty much already decided that we were going to revisit the series on DVD over the coming months when we heard the cast were having a get together.
Sadly it's not in Raffles. But it is in the Imperial War Museum. AND there are a very limited number of tickets available to buy, which includes a copy of the book which the cast will all sign… It's unconfirmed whether you'll be able to trade other favours for eggs or quinine.
Details of the event – and to pre-order the book – can be found here.
You can (and should) buy the series on DVD here.

text: A Glimmer of Gold #3 is a slightly muted, copper with stronger brown tones than the shade before it and a frosted sheen–but it is less metallic. The texture on this one was powdery, almost grainy at times, with little bits of powder clumping together. When I applied it with a damp brush, this resolved a lot of those texture issues. The color payoff was semi-sheer when applied dry (but be careful, there will be excess fall out during application), and when applied damp, it was fully opaque. Too Faced Jingle All the Way Eyeshadow #7 (LE) is a touch lighter. Clarins The Essentials #6 (LE) is darker, browner. MAC Exquisite Ego #2 (LE, $21.00) is more orange. LORAC Gold (P) is warmer. Maybelline Breaking Bronze (P, $6.99) is slightly more golden. NARS Isolde #1 (P, $24.00) is less metallic. MAC Retrospeck #2 (LE, $15.00) is similar. bareMinerals Louder (LE) is slightly warmer. bareMinerals Hoopla (LE) is less metallic. See comparison swatches.

Love the look of EVE but also heard its very unfriendly when it comes to new players i.e you die a lot.
Is there a specific job/proff/side I should choose where I know I'm safe and wont get dicked around with ?
Again only going on what I've heard.
Any info is appreciated :)

Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much. - John Wayne
Do the starter missions. Learn the various roles. Get your first ships. Figure out what role you want to play. If you don't like PVP avoid .4 systems and lower. Stay out of Jita. Or make Jita your home.

If you want to be safe you're playing the wrong game.
Even tooling around in highsec you're not really safe.
My advice if you're wanting to get in the game for the long haul is to buy a PLEX, sell it, and buy the best implants you can get for stat boosts. Then start researching all the stat boosting skills (cant rem what they're called). There are basic and advanced ones. Get the basics up to skill 5, and the advanced up to 2 or 3. This will take a couple of months of training, but its going to save you years on the back end.

Find yourself a group of people to play with, it makes things a lot more fun, and they can mentor you.
Other than that, there is no right way to start Eve, unfortunately. It's all about finding something you like doing and going for it.
The only thing I will say is DON'T GO TO 0.5 OR LOWER SYSTEMS. You might get a mission that says to go to one, just abandon it until you're ready, which will be some time in the future. A lot of new players make the mistake of jumping in to one, even if they know it's dangerous. Ship losses hurt a newbie a lot more than a vet; it's much harder for you to recover.
Also watch out for scams, read stuff carefully.

EVE is PVP centric. It's hard to trust anyone so look out for SCAMS. You will never be 100% safe. Risks are lower in some tasks than in others and the rewards will vary accordingly. Make sure you don't fly a ship you can't afford to lose and you will be fine. Do all of the tutorials, get an idea of what is fun for you from them and then settle on a career. EVE is a very detailed game (don't think of it as hard) with a lot to learn about but it is internally consistent and reasonable.
Bookmark the EVE UNI wiki HERE. It is an incredibly valuable resource for a new player and unlike many other web sites they keep it all up to date. You will find basic ship load outs and tons of guides to help you learn the game from tanking damage to dealing it and just flying around. THIS is their tips and tricks page. I differ from them and say use EVE HQ to help plan character development and develop ship load outs you can fly because it is an all in one tool. THIS is a listing of some basic skills to consider working on early in your career.
I also suggest you download THIS pdf guide for additional information.
PS: DON'T be afraid of EVE. You are going to win some. You are going to lose some. It's a game. Have fun with it. Explore what it has to offer rather than hiding in the shadows.

The first things to do if are going to start playing EVE are:
1) Read. Read a lot about the game first. Find the career guide that CCP puts out to see what kinds of "careers" there are in the game, and then pick whatever interests you. More than any other MMO in existence, and I mean this, EVE is a game where knowledge is power. What you don't know WILL kill you. Make it your job to know what you can about the game, especially if it effects your "career" path.
2) Go watch some videos on youtube that deal with the career that you've chosen. Mining may sound awesome when you're reading about it, but it's also extremely slow paced and many find it boring for that reason. Others find they have time to watch movies and do homework while mining and it suits them perfectly well. Either way, watching a few videos about your chosen career will give you an idea of what you'll be doing.
3) Hyper focus. Find one thing that you want to do and hyper focus on it for a while until you're good at it. Remmeber that with almost nine years of training there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people that can already do whatever job you pick much better than you. In order to be good at something, you'll have to focus on it for a while. I would especially take this to heart when picking which race to use. If you try to do too many things at once as a new EVE pilot, then you'll just be shitty at a bunch of things instead of good at one or two things.
4) If it sounds too good to be true, then it is. This applies to every aspect of EVE from PVP to simply buying something on contracts.
5) Lastly, and most importantly are the double rules of EVE: Never fly anything that you can't afford to lose. Never fly anything that you can't fit properly. If you can't afford to lose it, then fly something cheaper until you can. If you have empty module slots on your ship, ESPECIALLY mids and lows, then you're doing it wrong. No slot should ever be empty (that's not what she said) unless you are a two week old character in your first frigate running lvl 1 missions.
6) Lastly for real this time; Join a corporation very quickly. Especially try to find one of the many noob friendly corporations like EVE University which specializes in training new players.

I started playing eve at february 2013.
My ship was destroyed once with no reason by a player. I didnt have any other pvp conflict... i'm living in high sec systems (1.0 to 0.5).
Don't be affraid, most people in eve wants to help and you will find friends that will support you and answer your doubts.
Chose your career and focus on it.
And ofc read a lot, ask a lot, this is a hard game but not impossible... every day you will learn something new and this is good.
Safe travels!

Start asking people for help right off the bat. Once someone bites, they'll usually ask you to go somewhere with them. Once you get there, they will teach you how to play the game.

The only luck I had today was to have you as my opponent.
as a player since 2009 my advice is this:
try different things, regardless of how much you've trained skills into them. What makes EVE different at first sight is that it's not a "kill mobs there, go do this here, talk to him, bring me his head". the NPCs won't tell you what to do so...what do you do ?
it takes a while to figure out which aspect of the game you like best. a few friends who tried all ended up scanning and hacking (hacking here is referring to codebreaking satelite dishes and stuff not the illegal kind). I personally am a miner/industrial pilot primarily.
expect to change your mind many times. I was 1 year into the game an still every week i'd want to do something different. Eventually all roads lead to nullsec and pvp sooo don't be in a rush to get there. you will.
finally, players in your own corp-alliance are generally extremely friendly. players not in your corp/alliance are generally extremely scammy. so if on offers you some shady deal "aka Hey let's go lowsec to kill some better rats"... yeah, he wants to kill you. :D
there's many great alliances/ corps to associate with, including nullsec training corps or highsec pvp corps etc.
finally...eve's a lot better if you're not alone. and it's a universe of very basic human emotions. 'not bothering anyone' doesnt guarantee your safety. be aware other players exist around you, and be aware that carrying valuable stuff in paper-thin ships is like walking out of a casino with a brick of dollars in your hand. Someone out there migh take a shot at you. Or maybe nobody will. you never know.
being safe was one of your questions. in high-sec you're generally safe. most won't bother with you. might run into an exception here or there. but its uncommon, most have more important things to do. but again, don't expect 100% safety, just like in real life, a crazy person might do a crazy thing anywhere at any time. players have the CAPABILITY to, like in real life. They don't necesarily have the MOTIVE which is why most often you'll be fine.
remember... most players (but not all) won't bother you unless you give them a reason or a chance to. Because there's nothing you have that they want except maybe your tears. It's important.
@Colddog's comment: have some common sense. If they invite you to a dark back alley...I wouldn't. :). corp/alliance and beginner channel are great tools. local can be 50-50.
and if you do go to a 0.5 or lower, remember...everyone who if not blue or green will most likely either try to kill you or run away so you don't kill him. as you go into 0.0, everyone not blue or green MUST try to either kill you or run away. you're in his territory and you're a threat. even if you're not a threat. :)

I recommend messing around with a few different races on a trial account and pick one you like. People will say one is so much better than others but they all have good ships for both pve and pvp.
A good fight is one where the victor limps off in structure. Risk averse stuff designed to put more numbers on your killboard safely isn't actually fun.
Isk is meant to be spent on spaceship explosions in glorious combat.
You will lose your first frigate/dessie/cruiser/bc//bs. Insure them. Do it.
Playng with bros makes the grindy bits of the game actually fun.
It's generally better to specialize fairly early on. Find a profession you like and stick with it. Training placed there will pay off more quickly in earning potential than spreading yourself out.
You're ready to go into low-sec and null-sec when you want to go there, but you'll need to know how to use your directional scanner as well as f10 map-star map-stars-statistics-ships/pods destroyed in last hour to avoid camped gates.
Be Zen. Your possessions are just illusion. You will lose them all in the long run. Don't worry about their loss, spend them well in pursuit of fun.
Goonswarm doesn't recruit from ingame, though they do an awful lot of recruitment scamming.
Seriously, learn to your your directional scanner and your f10 map statistics to get info so you're not jumping blind.
After you've earned enough isk to fit a cruiser and a frigate for pvp, join the "RvB Ganked" player channel and go on one of the roams. It's always a fun time, get on the mumble for it though, and don't jump the gate when you shouldn't.
I dunno why people are talking about staying out of .5 or lower. .5 is still in highsec, and concord will still respond. Any competent ganker who wants you dead will do the math and bring enough ships to kill you with, whether you're in .5 and concord has a slow response time or in 1.0 with concord in a few seconds. Concord is like actual police, they don't prevent murder, they punish them.

biggest tip is if your starting out is get a invite from a current player they can give you a 21 day free trial susbscribe for a month and then you have 51 days for the cost of one month
on ships and skills choice
i would choose a ship anything up to battleship and train towards that getting all relevent skills needed
rougly in a month you can fly a battleship and in two months you can be quite good in it somwhere around the 4-6 week mark you should be good enough to fly lvl 3/4 missions and make a bit of isk
and i would only concentrate get skills to fly my choosen ship for the first two/three months and this would be my fall back ship
personaly for me missile and drone ships where easier to train than gun ships
so if i was starting out tomorrow
not wanting not to waste skill points and have a reasonably good ship in a month or so i would head for a drake
the only problem with the drake is everyone flys them so you will be part of the crowd but they are cheap, tough and have reasonably good firepower just a bit slow
normaly in pvp you see loads of these drakes
they are also easy to play plus the skills needed to fly the drake and use the missle launchers are skills that are needed
to fly the frigates and crusiers which you need to fly on the way to the drake
so a noob player a drake is a good choice to head for but like anything its all a matter of what you want to do but thats what i would do

I had all of them trained to lvl 5 so I had quite a few SP's to place wherever I wanted.
Also, there are now quite a few "must have" skills in the game especially if you PVP such as Armor Honeycombing and the four new sensor skills which boost your ships sensor strength against ECM. That's where I would put my points if I was to return to the game today.

Liverpool stars set for £250k bonus EACH if they win the Premier League
LIVERPOOL stars stand to collect around £250,000-a-man bonus to win the Premier League.
Starsport can reveal that the prospects of the Anfield outfit landing a first title for 24 years was thought so unlikely that no attempts were made to demand mega payments.
One top international at the club agreed the £250,000 bonus, which kicks in as long as he has played more than 50 per cent of games.
And that is understood to be the going rate at Brendan Rodgers' club, which will benefit to the tune of around £100m if they lift the title.

But don't do it for the free t-shirt from the ECA; we want our readers to think about this and be intelligent in the questions.
Formulate your thoughts. Read up on the issues, check out recent legislation and the Video Game Voters Network. (While you're at it, definitely sift through the GamePolitics archives.) See how other entertainment industries are regulated (e.g. the MPAA) and how you feel that compares to ours. Do you feel Manhunt 2's ban was just? How do feel about current candidates, such as Mitt Romney, who are already laying out their stances on video games in commercials? If you don't like it, challenge him, but be smart in your retort.
Perhaps most importantly, remember your audience: a group of politicians with likely very little knowledge or first-hand experience with video games. Educate them with your question. Maybe even think about asking them generic questions such as how much they have played video games or if they feel the format is ever capable of being art? But if you do, be sure to talk about why it's important they answer what appears on the surface a fairly menial question.
Don't forget about issues peripheral -- but still important -- to the industry, such as net neutrality.
This is a young industry, and external decisions (such as legislation) can greatly influence the direction it takes. If you feel like it should be protected, tell the government just as much. You may not -- scratch that, you probably won't -- receive the answer you want, but without asking, you'd never have the chance to know in the first place. And our politicians should know what's important to us and should be pressed on issues that matter, because if we don't talk to them, who will?
Sure, you may not like it, but read up on opposing viewpoints contrary to your own. It might help refine your own opinion or enlighten you.
Videos should abide by the YouTube debate rules. Here are video questions from the Democrats debate so you can get ideas as to what you feel works and what you feel doesn't. And, dude, dress up a bit. We don't need to see your gamer fashion juxtaposed with suit-clad candidates.
We only wish the ECA had started this contest with the Democrats debate, given Hillary Clinton's prominent stance on game legislation. We can only hope they continue to run contests with every upcoming debate.
Those who do submit a video question should email the link to along with your name, address and phone number for a free t-shirt. Also, let us know in the comments below; we'll be highlighting the best ones we see.

Ruckus Wireless has started shipping a new dual-band, three-stream 802.11ac access point. Unlike other 802.11ac APs, which are often software-upgraded 802.11n APs, the Ruckus ZoneFlex R700 was "specifically designed from the ground up [for] ... the new 802.11ac standard," according to the company.
The ZoneFlex R700 offers dual-stream operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and uses six antenna arrays — one per band — to help maintain fast throughput by directing traffic "automatically ... over the fastest signal paths for each client," according to Ruckus. Other features include:
The video below, from Ruckus, details the R700.
The ZoneFlex R700 is available now for $1,295. However, through a special program, Ruckus customers who purchased the ZoneFlex 7363, 7372, 7982 or 7962 between last May and now can purchase the ZoneFlex R700 for $499 per AP. (Customers can also keep their old 802.11n APs.) The offer is available through June.

Forewind has the objective to achieve development consent for an agreed target installed capacity of 7.2GW of offshore wind farm projects. To ensure that the work associated with meeting this objective is managed effectively, and to more evenly distribute demands on stakeholders and the supply chain, Forewind chose to develop the zone sequentially in stages, known as tranches.
The Zone Appraisal and Planning (ZAP) process used both available information and the outcome of stakeholder consultations to identify the optimum location of these tranches offshore. Tranche A was identified 2010, Tranche B was defined in 2011 and Tranche C in 2013.
Within each tranche, Forewind has identified a number of project sites, each with a capacity of up to 1.2GW.
The area of each tranche was defined larger than the footprint required for the individual projects to ensure that the location of those projects remained flexible throughout the data collection and stakeholder consultation phase. The identification of the individual projects within each tranche has taken into account stakeholder discussions and had due consideration to environmental and engineering factors.
The location of the cable routes and onshore infrastructure continues to be significantly influenced by the grid connections agreed in negotiations with National Grid. As Forewind received these grid connection offers, the onshore ZAP process was the first step taken to identify the optimum route for the export cable, from the offshore tranche/project to the onshore substation(s).
