This is a no frills flight. The flight attendants were very friendly and accommodating. We took a round trip and both flights left and arrived on time. I have never had a bad experience flying Allegiant.
Staff was very polite and helpful.The flight was very smooth and on time. I would recommend Allegiant and I would fly with them again.
Allegiant Airlines boasts low fares. Yes, this is a no frill airline, but also no hassle. If you just want to get to a destination for the least amount of hassle and the lowest price, this is the way to go. Book on line, pay for your checked bag or a carryon. (Be careful about the weight limit, if you...More
The flight was smooth and quick. The hostesses were friendly. But, Allegiant charges you for EVERYTHING!
We never fly this airline, because every single time we do there is some sort of issue. This time was no exception. It's not ok to load all passengers if you know you are going to wait out a storm. It's definitely not ok to have passengers wait out the storm on the plane with NO Air Conditioning on, in...More
nice easy basic flight from point a to point b. although when you get to punta gorda you exit the plane via walkway out in the elements.
If u are looking for a short flight to Vegas, then allegiant is the way to go. Flight is about 45 minutes wheels up to wheels down. Excellent stewardesses and attendants!!! Great price too , $200 for two!!!
Our flight out of Springfield, IL was delayed. That was a bit of an inconvenience. The day before our flight home, I checked in and everything was fine. A few hours later, I got a message that our flight had been cancelled and was not going to be rescheduled. They said they would honor our tickets for a different Allegiant...More
We have flown this route several times recently. The price is very cheap but be prepared to be late to your destination. The planes are usually late due to maintenance issue. AC fails or computer issues. The seats are very uncomfortable. Due to the prices being so low, expect the pay for any additional services or requests .
My family and I flew from LAX to Honolulu and Allegiant's low fares made the trip much more affordable. The flight left on time and the plane was comfortable, but dated. The flight attendants were helpful and friendly. Whatever program they use to assign seats needs work. My wife made sure our family had seats together. Other families did not,...More

Perhaps not surprisingly, people have been quick to snicker about the Napa earthquake, downplaying its severity. To some extent, this makes sense -- the area was lucky. But while it's easy to cast judgment from afar and say, it's important to remember that these buildings meant something to their inhabitants.

Solaris Mobile has teamed up with semiconductor company DiBcom to get European DVB-SH mobile TV and in-vehicle entertainment off the ground — literally.
Solaris Mobile, which operates the W2A satellite, is one of four operators that submitted an application to the European Commission for the rollout of satellite mobile TV over dedicated S-band spectrum. With a satellite already in orbit, Solaris Mobile can immediately offer mobile services that operate across hybrid networks.
By using additional terrestrial base stations, the system reaches into tunnels, urban landscapes and also indoor locations. It can operate on a one-to-one (unicast) and one-to-many (multicast) basis and can be easily integrated into handhelds, mobile and automotive TV screens or video players.
The Eutelsat W2A satellite carries Europe's first S-band payload owned by Solaris Mobile. (S-band, the same band that XM/SIRIUS radio uses for direct broadcast radio in the U.S., is used in Europe and India for other TV and mobile services rather than direct broadcast radio.)
The service will offer Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) such as the broadcasting of video, radio and data to mobile devices and vehicle receivers as well as a range of interactive mobile services. Using the DVB-SH hybrid satellite and terrestrial standard, Solaris Mobile will provide mobile TV coverage across Europe.
DiBcom will be providing DVB-SH broadcast receiver solutions to receive multimedia content transmitted by satellite and terrestrial repeaters. DiBcom's multiband and multimode RF tuners support DVB-SH, DVB-H and DVB-T in S-band and UHF frequencies, which lines up with the European Commission's strategy.

SENSORS UNAFFECTED BY HUMIDITY CHANGES TO DETECT TOXIC OXIDIZING VAPORS Filed Aug. 23. 1967 Fig.2
Herbert F? Silvermon Glno A. Giorrusso mvsw'rozz.v
ATTORNEY United States Patent O US. Cl. 23-254 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A thin film of a metal such as iron, silver or copper being oxidizable to the extent of corrosion bonded to a non-corrodible backing and having a thin layer of a compound such as potassium chloride on at least a portion of the metal, the compound being adapted to prevent the formation of a passivating layer on the metal when exposed to oxidizing vapors and being adapted to permit continued oxidation of the metal; and an additive to said compound of a hygroscopic organic composition such as glycerol having been mixed with the compound in solution before coating the metal therewith.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to thin film sensors for detecting toxic oxidizing vapors and including a hygroscopic organic composition to prevent the effect of changes in humidity on the sensing capability of the sensors. It has been found that changes in humidity levels affect the response of thin film sensors considerably so as to make the correlation of response with toxic vapor concentration inaccurate.
This invention provides a constant humidity at or near the surface of the sensor so as to make more accurate correlation of vapor concentration and response. Stated ditferently, the present invention prevents the efiect of changes in humidity on the response of the sensors to the oxidizing toxic vapors. Response is defined as a change in a metal film caused by contact with an oxidizing vapor and the response may be expressed as an electrical resistance change or as an exposure factor. Exposure factor is a numerical value derived from the resistance change and the initial resistance which approximates the amount of metal that has undergone a chemical change.
The maintenance of a constant humidity at the sensor surface is especially useful in dry areas or in the winter time when the humidity is very low. However, a constant humidity at the sensors surface is needed at all times to achieve accurate correlation of the sensors response and the oxidizing vapor concentration. Similarly, it is required, for the reasons stated above, to prevent the effect of changes in humidity levels on the sensor response.
The invention also provides a method for making sensing means, with or without the hygroscopic composition.
The known prior art is indicated in the following list of Letters Patent, Nos.: 2,285,663; 2,881,056; 3,108,342; 3,124,771; and 3,148,348.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides a rapid and accurate means for the detection of toxic oxidizing vapors as may be found in rocket propellants, such as nitrogen tetroxide (N 0 According to the invention, measurement of the oxidizing vapors can be made within a few minutes with a relatively simple, inexpensive, lightweight, highly-sensitive and portable sensing instrument. The invention may be made in the form of a thin film sensitized badge that can be worn by personnel and the measuring instrument can be carried in a pocket of worn on a belt to effect a portable warning device for personnel in areas of possible contamination by toxic oxidizing vapors.
A complete sensor assembly for detecting toxic oxidizing vapors, according to the invention, may be comprised of a vacuum-deposited thin film of a metal, such as silver, copper or iron, to form a conductive electrical pathway on an inert, non-conductive substrate. The pathway may be constructed so as to form two legs of a Wheatstone bridge when connected to a suitable instrument. One leg of the film is coated with an inert and impervious coating or tape, such as silicone rubber, vinyl tape, or acrylic plastic. The leg to be exposed is sensitized by coating it with an appropriate compound which is adapted to prevent the formation of a passivating layer on the metal when exposed to oxidizing vapors and being further adapted to permit continued oxidation of metal from the film by corrosion.
The legs are connected to the measuring instrument, which is basically a Wheatstone bridge with an amplifier and readout circuits. When an oxidizing vapor contacts the sensitized leg, the sensitizing compound acts as stated above, permitting continued oxidation of the metal. The corrosion of the metal increases the resistance of that side of the bridge so as to unbalance the bridge circuit. This unbalance is detected by the instrument and is shown on an ammeter or a galvanometer. The amount of unbalance shown is the measure of the amount of oxidizing vapor present in the ambient atmosphere. For the purpose of this invention, corrode is defined as the gradual conversion of metal to non-metallic forms.
The appropriate sensitizing compound above is selected from the group including sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium bromide, potassium chloride with a smaller amount of ammonium chloride, and potassium hydroxide.
It has been surprisingly found that the addition to the sensitizing compound of the hydroscopic organic composition, such as glycerol, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, maintains a constant humidity at the sensor surface in dry areas and, further, prevents the sensor from being affected by substantial or slight changes in humidity levels.
It has been surprisingly found that a very effective way of sensitizing the thin metal films described above can be achieved by dipping the inert strip and the metal film bonded thereon into a solution of a volatile organic solvent and a sensitizing compound, having at least 0.1% by weight of the compound dissolved in the solution, and after removing from the solution, allowing the excess liquid to drain for a few seconds, then flash drying by placing the strip in a stream of hot air, having a temperature range of to C., discharged from a heat gun.
Further objects and advantages of the invention may be brought out in the following part of the specification wherein small details have been described for the competence of disclosure, without intending to limit the scope of the invention which is set forth in the appended claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are for illustrative purposes,
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a sensitized strip for detecting oxidizing vapors according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view, taken as indicated along the lines 22 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a Wheatstone bridge electrical circuit diagram illustrating means for incorporating a sensitized strip accarding to the invention into a resistance-measuring circuit;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a senor according to the invention incorporating the principle of the bridge circuit illustrated in FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating one end of the sensor in FIG. 4., and having a connector attached.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring again to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a sensitized strip, generally designated as 10. The strip is comprised of a non-corrodible substrate portion 11 extending for the full length thereof, a thin film of a metal 12, such as silver, iron or copper, bonded to the part 11 and a sensitized portion 13 of a thin layer of a compound formed on the metal. The substrate portion 11 is inert and nonconductive and has the approximate size of 1 x 1 1 x inches. The material for the substrate 11 may be, for example, phenolic plastic circuit board material, vinyl resins or polystyrene.
The metal film 12 is deposited on the substrate in a vacuum chamber which is evacuated until there is no longer any significant gassing of the phenolic substrate, for example, and a steady pressure of l0 mm. of mercury is obtained. The metals used to make the films were evaporated from a tungsten wire filament onto the surfaces of the substrate where they condensed to produce the metal films.
The thickness of the metal film 12. has been varied from 100 to 10,000 angstrom units. By varying the thickness of the metal used in the sensitized strips, 2. wide range of sensitivity can be achieved. By using a metal film of 0.004 inch thick, for example, an environment that will cause loss of mils per year will cause a change of one micro-inch per hour, which can be usually monitored by commercially available instrumentation. By de creasing the initial metal thickness, by using for example, very thin metal films, 1,000 angstroms or less in thickness, a metal loss corresponding to a billionth of an inch can be measured.
To apply the sensitizing compound 13 mixed with the hygroscopic organic composition on the metal film 12, the strips were, at first, either dipped into an aqueous solution of the mixture or the mixed aqueous solution was sprayed upon the metal and the mixed layer was permitted to be formed by air drying. However, it was discovered that if the strips were dipped into a solution of a volatile organic solvent in which the mixture had been dissolved, after which the excess solution was allowed to drain olf slowly for about three to five seconds, and then the solution was flash dried by placing it in an air stream having a temperature range of from 80 C. to 130 C. from a heat gun for approximately five seconds, an excellently sensitized strip was formed. The layer 13 was very thin and smooth and was tightly secured to the metal film. This method formed the most uniform appearing surfaces and produced the most sensitive films. It also proved to be the most convenient method to use in sensitizing large quantities of films.
The use of the aqueous solutions of the mixture and which were air dried resulted in uneven drying, leaving spots or rings of uneven mixture deposited on the films that became visible after the mixture had been exposed to some toxic oxidizing materials.
The organic solvents used were methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and dioxane. The substitution of the organic solvents, particularly methanol, for water, resulted in an increase in sensitivity, which is believed to be due to the formation of smaller, more evenly distributed crystals of the dissolved compound on the metal film.
The following examples illustrate the method for sensitizing the metal films, bonded to the inch phenolic plastic circuit board. The thicknesses of the metal films were approximately 2,000 angstrom units.
Example I Separate solutions were prepared by dissolving from 0.1 to 2 grams of one of the following compounds in water: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium bromide and potassium hydroxide mixed with from 0.5% to 10% by volume of one of the following hydroscopic organic liquids: glycerol, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. The solution consisted of 100 grams, from to 99.5% of the volume being water. Phenolic strips with a silver film bonded thereto were each dipped in one of the solutions or sprayed with one of the solutions and then permitted to dry in the ambient air. Each strip, when dried, had been sensitized.
Example II Phenolic strips with a silver metal film bonded thereon, as described above, were dipped in or sprayed with a solution prepared by dissolving two grams of potassium chloride and 0.2 gram of ammonium chloride in a gram solution, consisting of 10% glycerol and 90% methanol by volume. After spraying or removing from the solution, each strip was permitted to dry in the ambient an.
Example III Separate sensitizer solutions were prepared '(from each of the following possible combinations) from 0.1% to 2% by weight of one of the sensitizers: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium bromide, and potassium hydroxide; and from 0.5% to 10% by volume of one of the hygroscopic organic compounds: glycerol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol and from 90% to 99.5% by volume of methanol. Phenolic strips with silver films bonded thereon were dipped, one in each of the methanol solutions. After removal from the solution, the excess liquid was allowed to drain off slowly for about three to five seconds and then the solution was flash dried on the respective strips in an air stream in a temperature range of between 80 to C. from a heat gun for approximately five seconds.
Example IV Sensitizing solutions were prepared from 0.1% by weight to the volume of a solution of potassium chloride in methanol, having 0.5% by volume of glycerol. Phenolic strips with silver film bonded thereon were dipped in the solution. After removing from the solution, the excess liquid was allowed to drain 01f slowly for about three to five seconds and then the solution was flash dried on the strips in an air stream in a temperature range of between 80 to 130 C. from a heat gun for approximately five seconds.
The strips sensitized in accordance with the foregoing examples were each exposed to nitrogen tetroxide, the latter gas being mixed with air for various respective tests in 10, 30, '50, 100 and 1,000 parts per million. Where the toxic vapors were present in the air to the extent of 1,000 parts per million, the flow rate of the gaseous mixture was 0.18 meter per minute and when the toxic gas was present in the range between 10 parts per million and 100 parts per million, the gas flow rate was 1.8 meters per minute. The tests were made at 70 F. and at various levels of relative humidity in the ranges of 10% to 90%.
It was surprisingly found that when glycerol, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol was added to the sensitizing solution, the effect of the humidity on the response of the sensors to nitrogen tetroxide was reduced from a 60% change in response between 10% and 50% relative humidity to only a 30% change.
The table below is a summary of response data of silver films exposed to nitrogen tetroxide when glycerol was and was not added to a sensitizing solution containing 0.1% by weight of potassium chloride for various relative humidities, the response of being in exposure factor units. Where the glycerol was not added, the solvent was water, and where it was added, the solvent was methanol, with glycerol being present in the amount of 0.5% by volume.
Glycerol added No glycerol added Response Mean Response Mean Response Mean Response Mean R 1 f e a we N; 5 minutes 10 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes humidity (ppm exposure exposure exposure exposure (percent) 3 minutes 3 minutes exposure exposure 4 minutes 4 minutes exposure exposure as. 2 2o. 2 16 1 "i 32.0} "i 14.0 0
3 minutes 3 minutes exposure exposure It is seen in the above table that the responses at 50 were relatively the same for five minute exposures but that for ten minute exposure at the same humidity, the response where the glycerol was added was considerably greater. For a 10% relative humidity, the response was substantially greater where the glycerol was added and that where the glycerol was not added, the response was substantially less at 10% relative humidity than at 50%.
At low concentrations of the nitrogen tetroxide, as 10 parts per million, it has been discovered that the exposure factor apparently goes through a minimum at 50% relative humidity, as may be seen in the above table. The exposure factor at 50% relative humidity is less than that at 10% for 10 parts per million, not shown in the table, and less than that for 90% relative humidity. This anomalous behavior suggests the possibility that there are two mechanisms by which nitrogen tetroxide can attack a metal film, and that the preferred mechanism depends upon the availability of water. At 90% relative humidity for ten parts per million of the toxic gas, the response is substantially the same, with or without glycerol. Thus, it is seen that the problem areas are in the lower humidities and that the glycerol substantially increased the response where the humidity was 10% The sensitized strips are adapted for use in systems designed to measure oxidation of the metal films to the extent of corrosion due to toxic vapors on a continuous basis. In FIG. 3, there is illustrated a system incorporating a Wheatstone bridge circuit. This illustrates when there is a resistance unbalance due to oxidation of one of the test elements in an oxidizing atmosphere. The elements are the same construction but one is treated with a sensitizer with a hygroscopic organic compound added, as indicated above, and the other is protected by means of a suitable coating such as silicone rubber, vinyl tape, acrylic plastic, Scotch cellophane tape and Mystic Tape, so that it is not affected by the oxidizing elements in the air.
In the circuit diagram in FIG. 3, .a sensitized strip 16 is used as the electrical resistance shown, and it is subjected to the oxidizing atmosphere. The reference resistance 17 contains the same type of metal film as the resistance 16, but it is provided with a coating to prevent an oxidizing attack on the metal film. The resistances 16 and 17 are disposed in the oxidizing atmosphere, forming two arms of the bridge circuit which also include a variable resistor 19 and a fixed resistor 20. A potential is applied, as by means of a battery 23 between the opposed legs of the bridge circuit and a sensing device, such as a galvanometer 22, disposed between the opposite legs of the bridge. When the oxidation occurs to the sensitized resistance 16, the increase in electrical resistance caused by the corrosion of the metal film is detected continuously by adjusting the variable resistor 19 until there is no current flow in the galvanometer 22. The variable resistor 19 can be calibrated in regard to oxidation to give a continuous indication of the amount of oxidation which has occurred.
In FIGS 4 and 5, there is illustrated a form of probe which is particularly adapted for use in the type of circuit shown in FIG. 3. A backing 25 composed of a material such as phenolic plastic has deposited on it an extremely thin film over the metal such as silver, iron or copper. The film is divided into an unprotected sensitized leg 26 and an unsensitized reference leg 27 having a coating of an impervious material such as Scotch cellophane tape. Electrical connections to the respective legs are provided by copper tabs 28, 29 and 30. A female connector 31, shown in FIG. 5, has metal spring contacts 28a, 28b, 29a, 30a and 30b which are provided for proper attachment to the metering apparatus and completion of the bridge circuit. These contacts fit on the tabs 28, 29 and 30 as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 4 to make the proper connections.
The current carrying contacts 28a and 30b, as shown in FIG. 4, make contact to tabs 28 and 30. For determining the resistance ratio between the oxidizable leg 26 and the reference leg 27, the contacts 28b, 29a and 30a are used to compare voltage drops across the two legs 26 and 27. In order to check the integrity of the reference element, a check element is provided by the area of the leg 27. In making the check, the contacts 28a, 28b, and 29a are switched into the metering circuit and as long as the resistance ratio between the two points is constant, there is an assurance that the coating on the reference leg 27 is protecting that element from the oxidizing action of the toxic vapors. When the sensitized leg is corroded, the resistance is increased, resulting in the unbalance of the voltage between the two legs.
The invention and its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof or sacrificing its material advantages, the arrangement hereinbefore described as being merely by way of example. We do not wish to be restricted to the specific forms shown or uses mentioned except as defined by the accompanying claims, wherein various portions have been separated for clarity of reading and not for emphasis.

Product Description
From Amazon
Winner of five Nebula and five Hugo Awards, the National Book Award, the Newbery, and many other awards, Ursula K. Le Guin is one of the finest authors ever to write science fiction and fantasy. Her greatest creation may be the powerful, beautifully written, and deeply imagined Earthsea Cycle, which inhabits the rarified air at the pinnacle of modern fantasy with J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and Jane Yolen's Chronicles of Great Alta. The books of the Earthsea Cycle are A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), The Tombs of Atuan (1971), The Farthest Shore (1972), the Nebula-winning Tehanu (1990), and now, Tales of Earthsea (2001).
If you have never read an Earthsea book, this collection isn't the place to start, as the author points out in her thoughtful foreword; begin with A Wizard of Earthsea. If you insist on starting with Tales of Earthsea, read the foreword and the appended "Description of Earthsea" before proceeding to the five stories (three of which are original to this book).
The opening story, "The Finder," occupies a third of the volume and has the strength and insight of a novel. This novella describes the youth of Otter, a powerful but half-trained sorcerer, and reveals how Otter came to an isle that cannot be found, and played a role in the founding of the great Roke School. "Darkrose and Diamond" tells of two lovers who would turn their backs on magic. In "The Bones of the Earth," an aging wizard and his distant pupil must somehow join forces to oppose an earthquake. Ged, the Archmage of Earthsea, appears in "On the High Marsh" to find the mad and dangerous mage he had driven from Roke Island. And in "Dragonfly," the closing story, a mysterious woman comes to the Roke School to challenge the rule that only men may be mages. "Dragonfly" takes place a few years after Tehanu and is the bridge between that novel and the next novel, The Other Wind (fall 2001). --Cynthia Ward --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
In this stellar collection, which includes a number of original stories, Le Guin (The Telling; Four Ways to Forgiveness; etc.) makes a triumphant return to the magic-drenched world of Earthsea. The opening novella, The Finder, set some 300 years before the birth of Ged, the hero of A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), details both the origin of the school for wizards on Roke Island and the long-suppressed role that women and women's magic played in the founding of that institution. "The Bones of the Earth" describes Ogion, Ged's first great teacher, when he was a young man, centering on that wizard's loving relationship with his own mentor. "Darkrose and Diamond" is also a love story of sorts, about a young man who'd rather be a musician than a mage and the witch girl he loves. "On the High Marsh," the only story in which Ged himself appears, albeit in a secondary role, is a touching tale of madness and redemption. Finally, in the novella Dragonfly, a tale set immediately after the events related in her Nebula Award-winning novel Tehanu (1990), Le Guin tells the story of a young girl who chooses to defy the ban on female mages, tries to enroll in the school on Roke Island and, in doing so, initiates great changes to the world of Earthsea. In her seventies, Le Guin is still at the height of her powers, a superb stylist with a knack for creating characters who are both wise and deeply humane. The publication of this collection is a major event in fantasy literature. (May) FYI: In addition to five Hugo and five Nebula awards, Le Guin has won the Kafka Award, a Pushcart Prize and the Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

However, it seems that Le Guin had a different focus which began with Tehanu and continues in Tales from Earthsea...an extremely feminist approach. I agree with another reviewer who says he can't help feeling that maybe Le Guin didn't like the original trilogy and that she seems to undo everything by making women responsible for Roke, etc. and she downplays the feats of the male heroes told previously. Of course, there can and should be room for the female heroines of Earthsea, but why did they have to take away from the male heroes, the great wizards? Le Guin even has same-sex marriages between women as a part of Earthsea life. Was this necessary? No, but it certainly fits well with her new feminist look at Earthsea.
The Tales are still well-told and entertaining because Le Guin is a wonderful writer. However, I guess that I am just nostalgic for the amazing feats and heroic adventures found in the first three books...and I was disappointed to find so little of that kind of story in this collection. The inclusion of women and their importance is also great to read, but this didn't need to come at the expense of the male part of the world of Earthsea. It was an imaginary world to begin with, and never offensive to women---sometimes it's nice to read a book that is not overly politically correct.
The best (and saddest) story to me is "On the High Marsh." There is something achingly sad about the main character; he is confused yet kind, a seeming innocent with great powers, a sweet, sad, lost-sheep kind of man. Ged appears in this story (I'm not sure he is necessary), and in the end I wept for this lost wizard. Truly an astonishing accomplishment.
Which is more than I can say for the final tale in this collection, Dragonfly. It is entirely engrossing and fascinating until the very end, where I think Le Guin cheats. It is the same kind of cheat she indulges in at the conclusion of "Tehanu.Read more ›
By the time of this review, all six of Le Guin's Earthsea cycle are available as mass-market paperbacks. This wide distribution entails considerable hazard for the thoughtful reception of work, as many of the unfavorable views given in this forum attest. The real wonder of fantasy involves a thinking, perplexed imagination, a test of capacity. Magic works the same way in the world of Earthsea, so the abuse of reading starts to look like the abuse of magic.
Think Le Guin's earlier fantasy is "magical" but the later work "political" or "moralizing"? Read Tolstoy for a load of the moral view of the author's role. Think a patriarchal fantasy world is OK? Look to the workaday world & see it happening--you'll be happy there, too. (In the meantime, enlarge the view of the political.) Want to glimpse the difficult otherness of knowing, the narrowness of the mainstream, the struggle against conformed living, the days of the dispossessed, & the ease with which things contradict each other? Read these stories.
Obligatory Tolkien comment: I've been a fan of Tolkien since 12 or so (the Trilogy to the Silmarillion to the Books of Lost Tales), but his conservative moral universe is more black-&-white than muddled--to say nothing of the weakness of half his population. Women, when they are strong, are mythic & empedestaled. Where's the proportion?Read more ›

Fabulous composition!
Awesome capture and lighting!
Lovely composition and setting, great shot Duncan
An image simply wonderful..i love all (why the title? i'm curious)
Thanks – The title comes from a nursery rhyme called Jack & Jill. The windmills are known locally as Jack and Jill. Jack is being repaired. In the nursery rhyme Jack mends his head with vinegar and brown paper. Now I explain it, I realise what a ridiculous title it is.
very nice as usual
Beautiful scene Duncan. Is that in the UK?
Thanks – Yes it is the Jack and Jill windmills that are to be found on the South Downs in West Sussex by a village called Clayton.
absolutely magnificent capture
Wonderful country scene,Duncan!! Pretty colors!

1. Chelsea Handler
In an interview with the New York Times the talk show host was matter-of-fact about her abortion. "I had an abortion when I was 16." She said, "Because that's what I should have done. Otherwise I would now have a 20-year-old kid."
2. Sharon Osbourne
The reality star admitted to regretting her abortion during an interview with the Daily Mail. Pressured into it by her mother, she is still traumatized by the experience. "She told me where the clinic was, then virtually pushed me off." Sharon explained, "She was so angry. She said I'd got myself in this mess, now she had to get me out. But she didn't come. I went alone. I was terrified. It was full of other young girls, and we were all terrified and looking at each other and nobody was saying a bloody word. I howled my way through it, and it was horrible."
3. Vanessa Williams
In her memoir You Have No Idea the actress is candid about her decision to abort: "Being pregnant is the most frightening thing that happens in your life. I knew in high school that's something that I was not prepared to do or fight or struggle with."
4. Margaret Cho
During an interview with XOJane the comedian and activist explained why she thinks it's important to talk publicly about her abortions, saying: "I talk a lot about abortion and people get really freaked out. I'm not even making a political statement. I'm just talking about what happened! I have had them and I want to talk about them. I don't care what your views are toward abortion, I just think women should be talking about it."
5. Toni Braxton
In her book Unbreak My Hear: A Memoir, the singer admits that she believes God gave her son autism to punish her for having an abortion. She later clarified her beliefs during an interview with Us Weekly, saying: "Coming from a very religious background I was ashamed that I had an abortion in 2001. When my youngest son was diagnosed with Autism I feared that I was being punished for my earlier actions. I have since realized that my son is special and learns in a different way."
6. Gloria Steinem
The activist explained her own hesitation to go public with her abortion story during an interview with The Guardian. "It is supposed to make us a bad person." She said, "But I must say, never felt that. I used to sit and try and figure out how old the child would be, trying to make myself feel guilty. But I never could! I think the person who said: 'Honey, if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament' was right. Speaking for myself, I knew it was the first time I had taken responsibility for my own life. I wasn't going to let things happen to me. I was going to direct my life, and therefore it felt positive. But still, I didn't tell anyone."
7. Sherri Shepherd
The comedian broke down during a heated debate about abortion on The View and spoke candidly about her own experiences. "I'm speaking as a girl who had a lot of abortions," she said, "and I swear to God, if they had shown me a picture of the fetus… I would have put my child in a lot of situations that wouldn't have been good because I didn't have the mental capacity to deal with having a child."
8. Joan Collins
The actress has been candid about having an abortion during her relationship with Warren Beatty. "It would have been unthinkable to have a child." She said during Daily Mail, "He didn't have any money, I had nothing, and I believe if you are going to bring a child into the world that you have to have a responsibility to that child. I'm so happy that Tara was my first child, I love her dearly and it would not have been the same had I had another child, so I know I made the right decision."
9. Penny Marshall
All the comedian had to say about her abortion during an interview with Entertainment Tonight was simply, "I didn't wish I hadn't."
10. Maureen McCormick
The Brady Bunch star revealed the details of her abortions during a segment on The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet. "I was 18, 19 and 20 when I had each abortion." She explained, "It shows how careless I was. It shows what drugs did to me and how far I went. I was not aware of the things going on in my life. Playing Marcia, I always had to be perfect… but I had so much going on underneath. I always felt I had to be perfect for the public. Now I know I don't — I can just be me."
11. Kathy Najimy
The actress recounted her abortion experience in a speech for Planned Parenthood. "I have to say that my circumstances are unusual," she said, "in that there were no unusual circumstances. Because of Roe v Wade, I was entitled to a safe and legal abortion. I knew that my situation was rare … that I was part of an elite, privileged group and that my choice was only possible because of the treacherous, hard-won battle of those who came before me. Not only those who fought the battle for my right to choose, but also those thousands of women — mothers, sisters, and daughters — who could not exercise that right in safety and freedom. Who literally lost their lives in illegal, non-safe abortions. I knew and I know that my situation was Disneyland compared to that of others.
12. Sinead O'Connor
The singer-songwriter spoke frankly of her abortion during an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1991, saying: "I didn't have a sense of guilt about the abortion. If I had had the child, I wouldn't have been in any state to be the mother that child would have deserved. It wouldn't have worked that way. As far as I'm concerned, that child's spirit is gone and perhaps some day it will return."
13. Linda Ellerbee
In a speech for the Family Planning Advocates of New York State in 1987, the journalist admitted that, "If you had told me nineteen years ago that one day I would stand up in front of five hundred people and talk about my abortion. I would have thought … 'Right. When elephants fly."
14. Whoopi Goldberg
The actress wrote an essay about her abortions for Angela Bonavoglia's book The Choices We Made. In it she writes, "I found out I was pregnant when I was fourteen. I didn't get a period. I talked to nobody. I panicked. I sat in hot baths. I drank these strange concoctions girls told me about - something like Johnny Walker Red with a little bit of Clorox, alcohol, baking soda (which probably saved my stomach) and some sort of cream. You mixed it all up. I got violently ill. At that moment I was more afraid of having to explain to anybody what was wrong than of going to the park with a hanger, which is what I did."
15. Kathleen Hanna
The punk singer has nothing but positive things to say about her abortion. "I really credit it as something that changed my life," she explained during an interview with The Rumpus, "because I got a job, I took care of my business, and I moved on. And I'm not one of those people who'd have looked back and been like, Oh, that kid would be 30 right now… I don't think, Oh, I really regret it… Maybe that's a fucked-up thing to say but, I don't regret it at all, number one, and number two, it was one of the best things that happened to me. Not actually being on the table and having it done, but feeling like I was responsible for my own life and realizing that when I made mistakes, there were consequences and that I could take care of those consequences. I could make mistakes and I could fix them. And live with them. It wasn't a big deal."
16. Billie Jean King
Before she came out, the tennis star terminated an unwanted pregnancy. "The reason I had an abortion is because I was not in a good place." She explained during an interview with Makers, "I was just finding out about my sexuality. I was trying to figure my life out. I was trying to get the tour started. I just did not want to bring a baby into the world."

The Books of Albion: the Collected Writings of Peter Doherty (Paperback)Peter Doherty
Paperback Published: 11/06/2009
- Not available
Click & Collect From your local shop
' "Poet, young and busy, seeks cheap spacious rooms somewhere. Excellent references available ..." so reads a self-penned ad, a very early entry from Pete Doherty's journals. From the early books a fascinating and very entertaining picture emerges of the young poet, broke in London, serving popcorn at the Prince Charles Cinema, ruminating on Britpop, listening to Scott Walker, but dreaming of creating a band infused with 'the spirit of Albion'. The later books reflect Pete's rise to fame, his changing world, and are full of artwork, photographs, notes and thoughts. It is intimate, honest stuff, very readable and very funny in places; pretty dark in others. All in all it's the work of a serious artist, a complete antidote to most things written about Doherty. These twenty-odd books - edited and condensed into one volume - are filled with poems, drawings, personal reflections, lyrics and collages, and is a powerfully compelling collection.
