KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- It just might be the most realistic wax museum you've ever seen, and it's all part of a big history project for fifth-graders at Sequoya school.
The students were instructed to choose from dozens of people they've studied throughout the year and prepare about a minute-long speech about that person, and their impact, good and bad, on national and Tennessee history.
Then the classroom was set up like a wax museum.
They delivered their speeches on everyone from Rosa Parks, Adolf Hitler, and Gutenberg.

The construction of SVG Filters is one of those subjects that's great to study, because it never seems to end. There are dozens of primitives, attributes and features to delve into, and even after that I find I need to review my linear algebra skills and remember how to multiply matrices to take full advantage of the wondrous possibilities available.
Of course, you don't need to understand all the details to make good use of them. There are a lot of examples that may be tweaked with relative ease to get a desired result, but there are still some basics that are helpful.

Xbox - "A New Generation Revealed"

Microsoft have a very long way to go before I even consider purchasing their next console, because I have heard absolutely nothing positive about it. Always online? One time use codes for games? The ridiculously extortionate fees for Xbox Live are bad enough, but rumours suggest that Microsoft are clearly trying to up the ante in practices of corporate greed. Unless I see some very, VERY good exclusives coming out for it, the new Xbox will most definitely be off my purchase list if these ridiculous practices are incorporated.
Of course, I'll wait until the big reveal on the 21st before I condemn the console entirely, but at the moment I'm extremely put off by it. There is usually a grain of truth to rumours, after all, and some have come from fairly credible sources. I do not like what I'm hearing...

If successful, the games would return to the United States for the first time since Salt Lake City hosted the Winter Olympics in 2002. Squaw Valley, a resort on the California side of Lake Tahoe, hosted the Winter games in 1960.
Krolicki told Nevada tourism leaders in Las Vegas on Wednesday that the Reno-Tahoe Winter Games Coalition has a memorandum of understanding with California leaders to try to convince the U.S. Olympic Committee to back their bid and take it to the International Olympic Committee.
"It's transformed from really this hope and dream and inspiration to something that's become very tangible," Krolicki said. "It's now a scaled up business and scaling up, and (there are) things that we need to do."
Krolicki said the bid depends on the USOC backing its efforts.
USOC leaders, including Chairman Larry Probst and CEO Scott Blackmun, have been noncommittal as recently as September about whether the United States will seek to host the 2022 games at all. Denver has also approached the national committee about hosting.
But Blackmun said at the time that he thinks the U.S. may be due to host by then.
"I think 20 years is long enough," Blackmun said of the 20-year gap since the 2002 games in Salt Lake City.
Earlier this year, the committee scrapped a plan to try to bring the 2020 Summer Olympics back to the United States, and has said it won't bid again until it agrees on a new revenue-sharing deal with the IOC. The U.S. lost bids for the 2012 games in New York and 2016 games in Chicago.
The IOC wants a bigger cut of global sponsorship and U.S. broadcast revenues. The USOC has long had a 20 percent share of global sponsorship revenues and 12.75 percent cut of U.S. broadcast rights.
Krolicki said a decision about 2022 won't come until July 2015, giving the states a lot of time to prepare and put forth a compelling bid.
"Mark your calendars for February 2022," he said.

Centro Plan to Erase A$2.9 Billion of Debt Approved by Judge
Centro Properties Group, whose shareholders and debt holders agreed to a plan to wipe out A$2.9 billion ($3 billion) of debt last week, won court approval for the proposal, avoiding receivership.
New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Ian Barrett today approved the plan. He ordered Centro to hold off filing documents with the Australian Securities & Investment Commission until 11 a.m. tomorrow in Sydney to give PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which objected to the proposal, time to consider an appeal.
"Upsetting of any or one element could be fatal to the whole plan," Barrett said in delivering his ruling in New South Wales Supreme Court today.
Centro has A$2.9 billion of debt maturing Dec. 15, and failure to win approval for the reorganization plan would likely have pushed the company into receivership, Centro Properties Group Chairman Paul Cooper told security holders on Nov. 22. Current shareholders wouldn't have received any payments, he said.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP said the company improperly transferred A$100 million with almost half benefiting shareholders at the expense of creditors.
Once the plan is filed with ASIC it goes into effect, Centro's lawyer Fabian Gleeson told the judge.
Filing Deadline
Centro must file the papers with ASIC before noon tomorrow to meet a Dec. 14 deadline to complete the reorganization and erase the debt before it's due, he said.
"If this scheme falls over because of an impediment put in place at the last minute," people may lose the A$100 million, he said. "If we can't repay the debt on Dec. 15, we would have to put the company into administration."
Damages as a result would run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, he said.
Centro first announced a restructuring plan in 2009 after a debt-fueled U.S. buying spree backfired when the global financial crisis caused property values to plummet and borrowing costs to soar, leaving the company unable to refinance its liabilities.
Share and debt holders of Centro Properties and listed unit Centro Retail Trust approved the restructuring last week, which will give senior lenders control of the new Centro Retail Australia trust in exchange for forgiving the company's debt maturing Dec. 15.
Hedge Funds
Hedge funds that have bought Centro's debt from its original lenders would own 72.3 percent of Centro Retail Australia. Centro Properties investors would get 5.03 Australian cents for each security they own. Holders of hybrid securities would receive A$20 million and convertible bond holders A$21 million, it said. The rest would be set aside to pay other creditors.
PricewaterhouseCoopers alleged the money set aside under the plan to pay Centro shareholders should have been retained to pay contingent creditors, who rank ahead of equity holders in a default.
Centro Properties, Centro Retail Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers are facing class action lawsuits from former investors who alleged the companies and their auditor misled them and the stock exchange about the full extent of both groups' maturing debt obligations and their ability to refinance them.
Class Action Payouts
Payouts related to class action lawsuits faced by Centro and the auditor could exceed the A$10 million the company had allocated for contingent creditors in the plan, Richard McHugh, PricewaterhouseCoopers's lawyer, told the judge last week. The company shouldn't have allocated A$49 million for shareholders when it had a "very significant outstanding claim," he said.
Centro's former director Andrew Scott was fined A$30,000 in August and former Chief Financial Officer Romano Nenna was barred from serving as a director for two years after a judge found they failed to fully disclose the company's debts in financial statements. Four other former directors and two current directors were reprimanded.
Centro's 2007 annual report failed to disclose A$1.5 billion of short-term liabilities by classifying them as non-current, and the company didn't declare $1.75 billion of short-term debt guarantees of an associated company, Justice John Middleton said in a June 27 ruling finding the directors liable.
Centro, which managed about A$16.5 billion of shopping malls in Australia, New Zealand and the U.S., had about A$16 billion of debt across its businesses as of Dec. 31, according to the company's first-half results released Feb. 24.
The case is In the matter of Centro Properties Ltd. 2011/00283647. New South Wales Supreme Court (Sydney).

General order 24, were Kir kand Scotty bluffing?

Re: General order 24, were Kir kand Scotty bluffing?
As with a lot of sci-fi some things don't bear close scrutiny. It's never really explained what exactly has been going on in that sector of space to have caused the loss of "thousands of lives" over the years. And if you have advanced interstellar travel and other related science and technology why does it have to be that particular system to have a treaty port? Is it because it's the only Class M planet in the sector? That's possible particularly given that now it seems Earth like planets seem relatively rare. Setting up base on an already hospitable planet is a lot easier than fabricating a massive space station/habitat or setting up on a world where you need to build facilities to protect you from the environment. Maybe it has little to do with having a port and facilities at all but with having a political ally there so you can claim it as being under your sphere of influence.
But in the episode none of this is remotely explained or referenced.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & aakk9999 & brotherhood of lan & goodroi
Would you have applied such detail with manual actions on " Partial matches " not requiring a reconsideration request?
Of course less than a month later we got nailed by Penguin ...
What makes you think that Partial manual penalties do not require a RR? We have always done so and have found it the only way to get the penalty actually revoked.
If you don't control the links pointing to your site, no action is required on your part. From Google's perspective, the links already won't count in ranking. However, if possible, you may wish to remove any artificial links to your site and, if you're able to get the artificial links removed, submit a reconsideration request. If we determine that the links to your site are no longer in violation of our guidelines, we�ll revoke the manual action. [support.google.com...]
If the links are outside of your control, what are you being reconsidered for? It doesn't make sense.
Paraphrased : If you remove the link Google is already ignoring, Google will stop ignoring the now non-existent link.
I think what Google means is... they'll remove it from the WMT console.
Therefore, I don't believe it's necessary to file a reconsideration request to get out of a Penguin penalty, but am happy to hear any contrary logic or reference points.
fyi - I have seen the manual action notifications removed from the WMT console without a reconsideration request being sent, following link removals not reported in a disavow file.
Thanks for the information about removal of a message without a RR.
Any serp movement to accompany this occurrence?

1. Re: How do I get rid of SiteAdvisor?Ex_Brit Sep 14, 2012 4:10 PM (in response to drunkitty)
SecurityScan Plus is merely a security checking tool that you must have downloaded as an optional extra with, for example, any Adobe product installation or update. You have to watch out for those 'extras', however it's easy to uninstall. It should be listed in your program list in Control Panel.
To disable SiteAdvisor simply go into your browser Tools > Add-ons and disable it. It will not work the next time you open the browser.
Or, you can uninstall just that part by clicking the McAfee SecurityCenter item in your Control Panel Program list and selecting uninstall. It should prompt if you just want to uninstall that component.
I counsel against that however as SiteAdvisor is a good safeguard against possibly dangerous websites and downloads and the warning can always be bypassed.

Coronado Springs Resort
We stayed in the Cabanas 9A section. It was fine walking. I think you want to stay clear of the Ranchos. It is on the opposite side of the restaurants.
We loved the Coronado Springs, but hated our room location back in Ranchos. We were so far away from the pool and the main building, it was awful in the September heat.
When we went we were in Casitas building 4 and let me tell you, the walk to the pool was miserable in the hot August sun. LOL It wasn't too bad to get to the Lobby though. Cabanas is the place to be because it's right in between the lobby and the pool building 8A ir 9B would be nice.

Finally, Natalya Simonova, a computer programmer and Bond's eventual love interest, can't take it anymore and yells out in frustration, "Oh, Stop it both of you! Stop it! You're like boys with toys!"
Welcome to the angriest and loudest voices in response to the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. The ones who tend to have absolutely no evidence to back up anything they say, except their own warped worldview of the coming apocalypse from their mom's basement.
You know the guys I'm talking about. They drive pick-up trucks with "don't tread on
You know the guys I'm talking about. They drive pick-up trucks with "don't tread on me" decals and bumper stickers telling you to "choose life" next to ones helpfully reminding you that you'd have to pry their gun "from my cold, dead hands". They see no irony in this, as critical thinking is not as key to their persona as say, a shaved head, a barbed wire tattoo or wife-beater t-shirt.
It is hard to have a debate in this country about an issue of national importance, without these overgrown petites showing up everywhere from press conferences to PTA meetings, talk radio to Twitter.
They don't believe in government assistance - except for that from which they have all inevitably benefitted. They hate government spending - unless it is on things that go boom and are not even needed, according to our own military. And on the issue of gun safety, their Rush-fed anger and paranoia kicks up a level to just beyond (Gary) Busey and just below Bane.
What we have is a form of cultural cacophony that's become demented by adolescent, male angst. Not most of us, mind you, just the loudest and most maladjusted voices by which we ultimately become defined.
The way most Americans - ones not bought off by blood merchant Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association (NRA) - react to a tragedy like the shooting in Colorado is to feel overwhelming sadness for the victims, and try to figure out how to stop future massacres. It is the least we can do in their memory, and is a reaction that befits a great nation that strives to be its best.
The way the our very own Boys of Brazil react, however, is to make patently absurd arguments that in a chaotic, noise-enveloped, pitch-black, theatre if only everyone had a gun, problem solved. (I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!).
They fantasise and fetishise like little boys playing laser tag, not accepting reality, like those of us who've chosen to become adults. They threaten, bully and posture because deep down, as studies show, they are consumed by fear. They come up with conspiracy theories that the massacre was planned by our government to pass more gun control.
The NRA leadership counts on these guys to make them millions. With the vast majority of the NRA's own membership overwhelmingly supporting common sense gun restrictions, they obviously don't buy their leadership's propaganda lock, stock and barrel. So here come their very own rough boys to the rescue -ready to occupy a comments section or social media account near you, trying to grapple with feelings of inadequacy, helplessness and rage.
It wouldn't be a problem if these outlier Tea-Party types didn't influence a whole political party infected by the childish need to get everything or go home pouting; never to compromise for the good of the country, never caring a bit about 9-year olds in Tucson or six-year olds in Aurora gunned down with impunity (in fact, blaming the victims themselves).
It should be no surprise that they've chosen the hilarious Mitt Romney as their leader, a man who goes to England and spends his first day trying to prove his manhood by denigrating their Olympic preparation and publicly discussing his meeting with their intelligence agency, MI6, which is never supposed to be publicly acknowledged (The Brits didn't even acknowledge its existence until 1994). But, as they say, boys will be boys.
Batman, from what I've heard, is an excellent movie. And I love the Bond series. But they are films and this is real life. And in this life, in America, our silent majority must take our reality back from the fantasies of the boys with toys.

Gentlemen, today we come bearing good news: Lindsay Lohan has returned to form. Interview caught up with filmmaker Richard Phillips to get an exclusive peek at his Art Basel 2012 entry: a short film harking back to the surf aesthetic of yore (Endless Summer et al) and starring one Ms. Lohan, looking as vibrant and even-keeled as ever. It's artsy stuff, sure, but we'll make an exception for this—especially if it means we'll be getting more Lohan on this end of the press spectrum. It's no Parent Trap, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

When they aren't dressing up black suits, Del Toro's been busy making a splash at Art Basel. For last week's art fest, the slipper brand commissioned 18 different artists to try their hand at painting a canvas loafer. The results aren't always something you'd want to wear outside the gallery, but they're pretty spectacular as shoe art.
Our cardinal rule of style is to dress for the occasion. And when you're a Vogue Brazil editor on assignment in Art Basel, that means bringing your A-game.
Fortunately, when presented with said challenge, Fabrizio Rollo knocked it out of the park.
The sockless loafers speak for themselves, as does the just-weird-enough chambray tuxedo shirt—so we'll start with those pants. We haven't seen double pleats on a fashionista in quite a while, much less wool pants rolled above the ankle, but if you're dressing for a cold season in a warm climate (like Miami in December or Rio in July) it's a pretty smart move.
Throw in a summer scarf tied over both the collar and the shirt, and you're in hall of fame territory. Take notes, gentlemen.
In honor of the close of Art Basel, we thought we'd pass along our favorite public art piece of the weekend, which dropped 45 eight-foot-tall pink snails across Miami. They come in peace, apparently.

you have the engine.. now go and make star wars battlefront 3 !
CryENGINE®3 is the first PC, Playstation®3, and Xbox 360™ all-in-one game development solution that is Next-Gen ready with scalable computation and graphics technologies. Using the CryENGINE®3, you can start the development of your next generation games today. CryENGINE®3 is the only game engine that provides multi-award winning graphics, state-of-the art lighting, physics and AI, out of the box. The famous CryENGINE®3 Sandbox™ editor is a production proven, third-generation real-time tool suite designed and built by AAA developers. CryENGINE®'s powerful real-time renderer is now even better! DirectX 11 (DX11) support significantly enhances the capabilities of the renderer within CryENGINE®3, allowing for some of the best visuals ever seen.
Announcing the release of Cryengine3 editor for Crysis 2 and Free CryENGINE SDK.
Posted by Duruk on Apr 22nd, 2011
1 year ago, we reported that following Unity's and Epic's UDK push to release a commercial grade engine for free (or at a price) that casual and indie game developers can afford, we expected Crysis and the CryENGINE to follow. Today it seems that announcement has been made, by none other than the CEO of Crytek, Cevat Yerli.
In an open letter to the Crytek Modding Community, Cevat discussed how important the modding community is to them, and how much they enjoy witnessing the creativity their community produces when working with CryENGINE. And in a move that mimics earlier announcements from Unity and Epic, Cevat says "This time around, we're going to do things in a different way - offering you the right tools to achieve your vision."
To put the 3rd announcement into perspective, CryENGINE 3 is commonly regarded as the most powerful engine in the market, and fetches an equally high licensing price by the companies that use it which includes game developers, the army, movie studios and more. Furthermore this engine is not a stipped down version with limited access to the source. As Cevet's says "This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC."
While they didn't explicitly state how indie teams license the engine, it looks like it will be similar to Epic's UDK model whereby a rev share % will be put in place to sell the game digitally. Traditional commercial developers will continue to license the engine on a per-seat basis via MyCryENGINE.
This is simply astonishing and brilliant news. While UDK and Unity currently dominate and we haven't seen a huge number of large total conversions released on the Cryengine, though a recent Crash Bandicoot remake on the CryENGINE has been doing the rounds (see video below) which shows the potential. I'd attribute this to the fact that the current tools have largely been locked down by Crysis and only fully available to a few handpicked teams. It looks like that barrier to entry has just been smashed down and with full source code access the sky is the limit.
So are you happy with UDK / Unity or are you going to explore the CryENGINE?
Do you feel like the engines power is simply too much for an indie team to utilize, given the sheer amount of art assets and detail CryENGINE games typically demand?
Please share your opinion below, because this is a significant step forward for all game developers.
you have the engine.. now go and make star wars battlefront 3 !
Wasn't at all impressed with the new engine. The CryEngine 2 was way better. Only thing better was the explosions and stuff like that. Textures just sucked.
@Euronymous.. your talking about Crysis2 the game not Cryengine 3 the software engine behind it. There are some forum topics on how you can import Crysis1 ground textures into Crysis2 and I bet there will be more High ress textures mods comming once the editor is out.
But if they release the full source can't people just develop their own engines on top of that like what people have been doing to ID Tech's Engines for years???....It's a pretty bold move if u ask me....Cervat's Trying to be a John Carmack?
Good choice,
for us and for them.
thats why i like Crytek's games.
I'm going to be making some pretty sweet stuff >:)
This is nice. Hopefully a better languange for programming than UnrealScript. That thing scares programmers away.
News on upcomming documentation and possibly .cry files:
Is this for non-commercial purposes only? The article wasn't clear on whether or not we will be able to SELL our games once we make them on this free version on Cryengine.
Its there in the open letter.
Quote from article: "If you want to commercialise your game, we'll be there to help you with that."
No you cannot commercial exploit your projects made with the SDK.
For commercial exploitations you need a license. Details about this license are still to be announced. E.g. pricing, terms etc..
CryEngine 3 most powerful? What about the unreal engine just announced
What Unreal Engine, just announced?
You mean what exactly?
I have been using UDK for over a year now, I feel I will give CryENGINE a try. I mean, I don't think my art assets will match up to the standards of the developers of Crysis 2 but I can sure try.
Crytek have given a present to my heart!
I will always love you Crytek!!!
This wasn't news already about 4 months...
Sounds great, especially since it's going to be the full version they use and have similar licenses available to what the UDK has, which is fairly reasonable for indie developers to use. All of this sounds awesome, I might get in on this CryEngine 3 action.
Really, CryEngine has not impressed me over Unreal Engine. I think UDK is still the best, most well known kit on the market, and it being well-known means that the forums are lively with help. I'll wait to see what being done with this engine.
thank god! finally they talked about this a year ago or january of this year and finally they have a sdk i hope it plays nice with the other 3d programs 3ds max and blender

Feb 16, 2012 EbenGregory News 2
Khloe says the rumors surrounding Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were never an item, but they are friends.
Reports The Urban Daily:
When it comes to the Kardashian clan, Khloe Kardashian Odom is the most outspoken and honest. She recently stopped by Sway Calloway's Shade 45 radio show to promote her reality show, Khloe & Lamar. Sway asked Khole about the rumors surrounding Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Khloe maintains the rapper and reality star were never an item, but they are friends.
When Sway brought up the fact Amber Rose said Kim is the main reason she and Kanye split, Khloe responded, "A lot of people like to us my sister's name for their benefit." Sway lightened the mood by saying he uses the Kardashian name for his benefit all the time.
And now…the video.
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you if you always tell the truth, you never have to remember anything.
She Never said they were am item. Just a jump
Yeah, what you said. Being an item and fuckin are two different things and she never denied the latter.

Safest Glen Burnie Neighborhoods
With a crime rate of 50 per one thousand residents, Glen Burnie has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 20. Within Maryland, more than 94% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Glen Burnie.
Importantly, when you compare Glen Burnie to other communities of similar population, then Glen Burnie crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Glen Burnie does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Glen Burnie does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Glen Burnie.
From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Glen Burnie occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Glen Burnie; such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder; is 1 in 199. This equates to a rate of 5 per one thousand inhabitants.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in Glen Burnie is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In Glen Burnie, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 22, which is a rate of 45 per one thousand population.

Lorenzo Holistic Health CenterRead MoreBefore stepping foot into his namesake practice within the Willo Medical Building, licensed acupuncturist Anthony Lorenzo spent hundreds of hours learning the ins and out of Chinese herbal treatments and acupuncture. This dedication led to a master's degree in Oriental medicine as well as a specialization in the Japanese style of acupuncture. Today, from his intimate practice, Lorenzo employs this form of acupuncture, which uses fine, sterile needles and minimal manipulation to increase blood flow, reduce discomfort, and increase energy levels more effectively than a dose of motor oil. The ancient treatment also works to reduce aches and pains caused by headaches, digestive issues, and autoimmune disorders.36001 Euclid Ave.Willoughby, OH US

Nevada quarterback Cody Fajardo runs with the ball Saturday at Mackay Stadium.
There won't be any quarterback drama this week.
After waiting until game day to name a starting quarterback the past two weeks, Wolf Pack coach Chris Ault said Monday redshirt freshman Cody Fajardo will start Saturday against New Mexico.
"It's based on what I saw on film and what I feel about the offense and where we're at," Ault said. "This is the best way for us to go." ...


text: Hmmm. I have one of the large Nikor 4x5 size tanks (without the 4x5 cage, unfortunately, but with a pair of 220 reels that have the heavier wire and wider space between turns common on standard 120 reels); it's tall enough for four long-roll 35 mm reels, and about 50% larger diameter than a standard stainless tank. Are these 70 mm reels too tall (they should fit in most 2x135 tanks), or too large in diameter (if so, they'd probably fit the Nikor and might fit some plastic tanks as well)?Originally Posted by Nick Zentena

From the pretty garden you feel you could almost reach over and touch St. Michael's Mount and paddle your feet in the bay. Nearby the coastal path takes you to deserted sandy coves fringed with wild flowers, where seals loiter in the surf. The ancient town boasts a small harbour where the ferry to St. Michael's Mount collects its passengers when the causeway is covered by the tide.

The Cornwall region
Cornwall ,as it is so far south and has the Gulf Stream running past its long expanse of coast, has a very mild climate, especially on the coast. Spring comes early & autumn lingers longer.
With its ancient past & stunning natural beauty, it offers a wealth of experiences. St Michael's Mount, is a magical island which has a church, a medievil castle, an exotic garden clinging to the sleep flanks and an ancient harbour with shops & restaurants.
The Minack Theatre is a unique open-air theatre created from the cliff side , its backdrop is spectacular views over Porthcurnow Bay to Logan Rock. The Tate Gallery, St Ives & the Eden Project are worth a visit. Look at "Cornwall Guide" on www.cata.co.uk, for places of interest as the list is endless.
Marazion is a popular destination for beach holidays & water sports, including windsurfing, kite-surfing & sailing. The attractive old town claims to be one of the oldest in Britain - known as Ictis by the Romans. Mounts Bay is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. The clean, sandy beaches offer safe bathing.
There are wonderful views towards the Lizard Peninsular in one direction & Land End in the other. It is famous because of St Michael's Mount- a causeway, once walked by pilgrims, leads to the island at low tide. A short distance along the coast is the pretty village of Perranuthnoe, which boasts the oldest inn in Cornwall - a good spot for surfing! Next along the coast is Prussia Cove, the lair of the notorious wreckers & pirates, the Carter brothers.
A perfect location for walkers and guests with dogs. Artists Cottage is a stones throw from the Coastal Path and unrestricted dog walking beaches.

We found this cottage very clean and everything you wanted was provided....yummy scones from local shop and bottle of wine waiting for our arrival. The location is great to explore most of south cornwall. Some fab beaches for the dogs. The most beautiful is Porth Kidney near St Ives. Just a couple of things to mention: The cottage is advertised to sleep 6. Afraid 6 would be a tight squeeze. Probably 4 would be max. Also the ad also states 300 metres from the beach.....this is true, as the crow flies, but you have to walk a lot further to access the beach. We would advise anyone going to check with the owner where the car parking space is. As we tried to get the car next to the cottage (nearly impossible)! The views are amazing but as I say a couple of minor problems.
The cottage has an unusual and quirky layout but there is adequate space for six, including children. There is also a garden with the most amazing sea views so ample space inside and out. The rooms are fairly small but its a typical traditional cornish cottage. The coastal path and access to the beach in front of the cottage is under 300 metres from the cottage. We are surrounded by beaches, most are within comfortable walking distance but more than 300 metres away. Perhaps you didn't find the beach infront of the cottage, which is dog friendly all year around, for which I apologise and in future will leave instructions for our guests. There is designated parking in the private car park opposite the cottage. Photo's and parking instructions are included in the information sent to our visitors and so far no one has had a problem finding it. I am sorry you had difficulty. I will leave contact details of a neighbour, who will be more than happy to give directions, at the cottage for anyone experiencing the same confusion.

"Absolutely excellent"
We had a really enjoyable stay in the cottage blessed by a week of glorious sunshine. The welcome gifts were greatly appreciated and the location was spectacular with excellent views of the mount. The pub two doors down does excellent food and was very welcoming.

"Little gem with great atmospheric views of St. Michael's Mount"
We booked to stay for a week in October in 2010. We loved Marazion and we felt very at home in Artist's Cottage, which is well appointed and imaginatively designed. The location is excellent - 5 min walk down the hill into Marazion centre - and overlooking the sea and St. Michael's Mount. We were a party of three (2 adults and a 9 year old) and the place suited us very well indeed. We didn't use the bunk-bedded room at all (ended up storing our fishing gear, walking boots, coats, etc in this ground floor bedroom as it's next to the entrance). Our nine-year old chose to sleep on the mezzanine level over the living area. The cottage is very bijou and compact, which we loved, but others may feel cramped, especially if there are more than three of you. This probably wouldn't matter so much in the summer months. We had a couple of days of really inhospitable weather during our October week, but we were happy sitting in front of the picture window with mugs of hot chocolate over looking St. Michael's Mount. We all loved it and would love to go back. If I could change one thing, it would be to make it a non-smoking property. For non-smokers, the slight smell of cigarette smoke in the cottage took a bit of getting used to, although we didn't notice it by the end of the week (I'd had the windows opened every day though!). A great property in a great location.

Katie Holmes and Jessica Alba's Classic Fashion Finds You Need Now
Spring cleaning your wardrobe as temps heat up? It's OK to toss out a few outdated older pieces, but as Us Weekly's Fashion Director Sasha Charnin Morrison explains, there are a handful of must-haves that can take you from season to season. Among the items to bring to the front of your closet right now: A white blazer and leopard coat.
PHOTOS: Stars' timeless fashion tips
"One of the most important new things to think about is the white blazer," Morrison explains in the video above of the topper worn by the likes of Jessica Alba and Kim Kardashian. "You can repurpose this blazer for something new and interesting, taking it from cubicle to cocktail."
Another chic spring topper is a leopard coat like Katie Holmes' animal print trench. Worn casually with jeans or used to make a date night dress stand out, Morrison confirms this is one wardrobe staple to hang onto for years to come. "Think of your leopard coat as a neutral and wear it with anything," she suggests.
VIDEO: Accessories to add a pop of color to any outfit
The best way to polish off spring's trendiest styles: Statement earrings. For celeb-inspired ways to wear the jewelry -- and more tips from Morrison -- watch the video above now!

If you're looking for something that closely matches the Jambox in portability and sound, but costs substantially less, the $100 Logitech UE Mobile Boombox is the device I'd recommend.Read the full review →
As low as
conclusion:We like it
The Logitech UE Mobile Boombox is small, sleek, sounds great, and is available for under $100. PC Mag likes its "warm, clear sound," and says that "you won't find a better all-around package close to its price." And Android Police likes it better than the more expensive Jawbone JAMBOX, saying that "it sounds every bit as good as Jawbone's flagship speaker" and that "it really lives up to the Ultimate Ears name." Android Police also likes its 12.5-hour battery life, and PC Mag says it "works well" for phone calls, and its "speakerphone feature works better than most."

The Mobile Boombox does sound way better than any built-in speaker in smartphones and tablets, so it does have added value for mobile devices. That said, £79.95 is just too much for this product.

This is intended to be a book about Leonardo's intellectual and artistic life as a whole. I have endeavoured to capture the unity of his creative intellect, not I hope at the expense of his variousness, but in such a way as to illustrate the main trunk from which the ramifications of his work grew. I have attempted to come to terms with the principles, style, and development of his thought, rather than enumerating his artistic and scientific achievements. I have been concerned to characterize the shape of his vision of the world, to assess the relationship between this vision and his works of art, and to show how each major facet of his activity relates to the whole and how his outlook developed during the full span of his career.
This approach inevitably places an emphasis upon those aspects of his work that possess the clearest philosophical implications, and militates against an extended consideration of his technical work in all its inventive variety. I have, in other words, been concerned with the principles of his mechanics rather than with a list of the machines he invented. I have been concerned with the reasons why his anatomies took the form they did, rather than running him beside Vesalius and Harvey in a historical race towards 'observational accuracy'. I have been concerned to understand his theory of vision and its implications rather than trying to mould him into an ancestor of Kepler. I have been concerned to illustrate the personal flavour that he brought to a broadly Aristotelian range of physical sciences rather than to draw up an historical balance sheet of scientific credits and debits. And ultimately, I have been concerned to show how his art profoundly reciprocates his scientific vision but is not identical to it.
Just as it would be idiotic to claim that this or any other volume was the comprehensive Leonardo book, so it would be misleading to think that the internal balance of this necessarily selective study reflects the actual balance of the various activities in his own career. There are a number of reasons why such a balance remains elusive. The most unavoidable is that the surviving historical record is incomplete in a lopsided manner, as we will have repeated cause to see. It appears likely that about four-fifths of his written output is lost. Furthermore, any selection of material from his legacy is inevitably conditioned by the author's personal attitude to what he considers important, interesting, and relevant to his theme. Finally, it is doubtful if anyone could achieve the required level of understanding across the whole range of Leonardo's work to treat every

Susan Graham a happy camper as the 'Duchess'
This June 2013 photo provided by the The Santa Fe Opera shows Susan Graham as the Grand Duchess performing with Jonathan Michie, playing Prince Paul, during a rehearsal with the chorus in an Offenbach comedy, "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein," at the Santa Fe Opera in Santa Fe, N.M. (AP Photo/The Santa Fe Opera, Ken Howard)
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Ask Susan Graham how she reacted when Santa Fe Opera first offered her the title role in Offenbach's "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein."
"Do I still have the bruises?" she replies, extending her right arm in jest. "I didn't want to do it. They twisted my arm for two years!"
Eventually she gave in, and this summer she's headlining a campy new production of the 1867 operetta, which satirizes militaristic war-mongering and political corruption and depicts a royal ruler whose sex drive is in overdrive. Director Lee Blakeley has updated the setting from a fictional 18th century duchy to 20th century America and written new English-language dialogue, filled with mild double entendres (think "privates on parade").
Graham, one of America's leading mezzo-sopranos for nearly a quarter-century, has scored some of her greatest triumphs in serious roles (Dido in Berlioz's "Les Troyens," Sesto in Mozart's "La Clemenza di Tito"), but she has also done light opera, from Lehar's "The Merry Widow" to Offenbach's "La Belle Helene."
So why the reluctance to take on the duchess?
"I had the impression, falsely as it turned out, that it's for a 'woman of a certain age,' Graham recalled during an interview at her home nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a short drive from the opera house. "I was still singing Octavian (in Richard Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier") and playing a 17-year-old boy. I wasn't ready to be the Grand Dame of Operetta."
This June 2013 photo provided by the The Santa Fe Opera shows Susan Graham with Paul Appleby, as Fritz, during a rehearsal of an Offenbach comedy, "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein," at the Santa Fe Opera in Santa Fe, N.M. (AP Photo/The Santa Fe Opera, Ken Howard)
In fact, in Offenbach's original, the duchess is a young woman, but the role has often been played by singers in their 50s. Posters for the Santa Fe production exploit the age angle with a picture of a mountain lion wearing a crown, topped by the slogan, "The Ultimate Cougar."
Graham was still in her 40s when the role was first offered, and she didn't relish the idea of playing an older woman who pursues a handsome cadet only to lose him to his young sweetheart.
"At that time I was still dating younger men," she said. "I WAS the grand duchess, and I wasn't ready to play myself on stage quite yet. Then I got into this very serious, very stable relationship with someone who's closer to my age, and I thought, OK, I feel more grown up now, I'm fine with this. And then of course by the time we're putting it on, I'm in my 50s."

Picture: George Merrill holding up a picture of late Whitney Houston, Kings of Songwriting session during the 2012 Slacker Canadian Music Week. Toronto, Canada...
Whitney Houston's birthday (August 9th) marks what would usually be a day of celebration in the music world, but is this year is a mark of mourning - the late songstress having passed away earlier this year.
To mark the day, famous friends, family members and fans of Whitney Houston who passed away in a Beverley Hills Hotel in February, have come together to honor her life, rather than dwell on her death. Singer-songwriter Monica, who developed a close relationship with Houston from the nineties until her death, said that Houston "prepared" her for a life in music and since her death has been performing tributes in honour of the deceased singer - including a show that she and fellow songstress Brandy put on in Atlanta, Georgia a month after Whitney's death.
Meanwhile, R Kelly has also come forward to speak about his admiration for Whitney and how her loss saddens him still today. He told MTV News that Whitney was always fun to work with and like a sibling, saying she "reminded [him] of my sister". Kels and Whitney had been working on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Sparkle, which saw Whitney take on her final role before her death. The film, released August 19th, sees the dearly departed entertainer plays a former vocalist and the mother of three sisters who form their own Motown group in 1960's Detroit.
