Food chain chaos due to Shilnikov's orbit12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1482255View Description Hide Description
Assume that the reproduction rate ratio ζ of the predator over the prey is sufficiently small in a basic tri-trophic food chain model. This assumption translates the model into a singularly perturbed system of two time scales. It is demonstrated, as a sequel to the earlier paper of Deng [Chaos11, 514–525 (2001)], that at the singular limit a singular Shilnikov's saddle-focus homoclinic orbit can exist as the reproduction rate ratio ε of the top-predator over the predator is greater than a modest value The additional conditions under which such a singular orbit may occur are also explicitly given.
Degenerate resonances in Hamiltonian systems with 3/2 degrees of freedom12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1484275View Description Hide Description
Hamiltonian systems with 3/2 degrees of freedom close to autonomous systems are considered. Special attention is focused on the case of degenerate resonances. In this case, an averaged system in the first approximation reduces to an area-preserving mapping of a cylinder whose rotation number is a nonmonotonic function of the action variable. Behavior of the trajectories of such a map is similar to that of the trajectories of a Poincaré map. Three regions: in the upper and lower parts of the cylinder and an additional region A which contains separatrices of fixed points for the corresponding resonance are distinguished on the cylinder. It is shown that there is a nonempty set of initial points corresponding to walking trajectories in and, hence, there are no closed invariant curves that are homotopically nontrivial on the cylinder. Cells limited by a "stochastic network" can exist in region The number of cells is the greater the higher the order of degeneration of the resonance. Possible types of orbit behavior in region A are described.
Investigating nonlinear dynamics from time series: The influence of symmetries and the choice of observables12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1487570View Description Hide Description
When a dynamical system is investigated from a time series, one of the most challenging problems is to obtain a model that reproduces the underlying dynamics. Many papers have been devoted to this problem but very few have considered the influence of symmetries in the original system and the choice of the observable. Indeed, it is well known that there are usually some variables that provide a better representation of the underlying dynamics and, consequently, a global model can be obtained with less difficulties starting from such variables. This is connected to the problem of observing the dynamical system from a single time series. The roots of the nonequivalence between the dynamical variables will be investigated in a more systematic way using previously defined observability indices. It turns out that there are two important ingredients which are the complexity of the coupling between the dynamical variables and the symmetry properties of the original system. As will be mentioned, symmetries and the choice of observables also has important consequences in other problems such as synchronization of nonlinear oscillators.
Chaos control by using Motor Maps12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1487615View Description Hide Description
In this paper a new method for chaoscontrol is proposed, consisting of an unsupervised neural network, namely a Motor Map. In particular a feedback entrainment scheme is adopted: a chaotic system with a given parameter set generates the reference trajectory for another chaotic system with different parameters to be controlled: the Motor Map is required to provide the appropriate time-varying gain value for the feedback signal. The state of the controlledsystem is considered as input to the Motor Map. Particular efforts have been paid to the feasibility of the implementation. Indeed, the simulations performed have been oriented to design a Motor Map suitable for an hardware realization, thus some restrictive hypotheses, such as for example a low number of neurons, have been assumed. A huge number of simulations has been carried out by considering as system to be controlled a Double Scroll Chua Attractor as well as other chaotic attractors. Several reference trajectories have also been considered: a limit cycle generated by a Chua's circuit with different parameters values, a double scroll Chua attractor, a chaotic attractor of the family of the Chua's circuit attractors. In all the simulations instead of controlling the whole state space, only two state variables have been fed back. Good results in terms of settling time (namely, the period in which the map learns the control task) and steady state errors have been obtained with a few neurons. The Motor Map based adaptive controller offers high performances, specially in the case when the reference trajectory is switched into another one. In this case, a specialization of the neurons constituting the Motor Map is observed: while a group of neurons learns the appropriate control law for a reference trajectory, another group specializes itself to control the system when the other trajectory is used as a reference. A discrete components electronic realization of the Motor Map is presented and experimental results confirming the simulation results are shown.
The stability of stationary rotation of a regular vortex polygon12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1482175View Description Hide Description
This paper is devoted to the Lord Kelvin's (1878) problem on stability of the stationary rotation of the system of equal vortices located in the vertices of a regular -gon. During the last decades this problem again became actual in connection with the investigation of point vortices in liquid helium and electron columns in plasma physics. This regime is described by the explicit solution of the Kirchhoff equations. The corresponding eigenvalue problem for the linearization matrix can be also decided explicitly. This was used in the works of Thomson (1883) and Havelock (1931) to obtain exhaustive results on the linear stability. Kurakin (1994) proved that for also the nonlinear orbital stability takes place. The case was doubtful—one can find in the literature statements about both stability and instability with incomplete or erroneous proofs. In this paper we prove that for the nonlinear stability still takes place. Thus the full answer to Kelvin's question is that the regular vortex-gon is stable at while at it is unstable. We also present the general theory of stationary motions of a dynamical system with symmetry group. The definitions of stability and instability are necessary to modify in the specific case of stationary regimes. We do not assume that the system is conservative. Thus, the results can be applied not only to various stationary regimes of an ideal fluid flows but, for instance, also to motions of viscous fluids.
Recurrence plots and unstable periodic orbits12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1488255View Description Hide Description
A recurrence plot is a two-dimensional visualization technique for sequential data. These plots are useful in that they bring out correlations at all scales in a manner that is obvious to the human eye, but their rich geometric structure can make them hard to interpret. In this paper, we suggest that the unstable periodic orbits embedded in a chaotic attractor are a useful basis set for the geometry of a recurrence plot of those data. This provides not only a simple way to locate unstable periodic orbits in chaotic time-series data, but also a potentially effective way to use a recurrence plot to identify a dynamical system.
Onset of chaotic dynamics in a ball mill: Attractors merging and crisis induced intermittency12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1484016View Description Hide Description
In mechanical treatment carried out by ball milling,powder particles are subjected to repeated high-energy mechanical loads which induce heavy plastic deformations together with fracturing and cold-welding events. Owing to the continuous defect accumulation and interface renewal, both structural and chemical transformations occur. The nature and the rate of such transformations have been shown to depend on variables, such as impact velocity and collision frequency that depend, in turn, on the whole dynamics of the system. The characterization of the ball dynamics under different impact conditions is then to be considered a necessary step in order to gain a satisfactory control of the experimental set up. In this paper we investigate the motion of a ball in a milling device. Since the ball motion is governed by impulsive forces acting during each collision, no analytical expression for the complete ball trajectory can be obtained. In addition, mechanical systems exhibiting impacts are strongly nonlinear due to sudden changes of velocities at the instant of impact. Many different types of periodic and chaotic impact motions exist indeed even for simple systems with external periodic excitation forces. We present results of the analysis on the ball trajectory, obtained from a suitable numerical model, under growing degree of impact elasticity. A route to high dimensional chaos is obtained. Crisis and attractors merging are also found.
Stability of active systems with a spatially periodic activity: Analysis of a simple model and application to the boiling crisis problem12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1492335View Description Hide Description
We investigate theoretically the possibility to control the transition between two metastable states in reactive systems by imposing a spatial modulation. In particular, we consider the technologically very important case of the transition between the low temperature (nucleate boiling) and the high temperature (film boiling) phases of boiling of a liquid over a heat generating element, also known as the boiling crisis. With the help of a simplified model, we demonstrate that the dangerous regime where the high temperature phase invades the whole system requires a larger heat power in a periodically spatially modulated system, than in a uniform system. The possibility that a local perturbation, such as a small gas bubble, may induce locally a transition to the film boiling state is also considered. We show that the transition to the film boiling regime is hindered in a spatially periodic system.
Sensitivity of ray travel times12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1494250View Description Hide Description
Ray in a waveguide can be considered as a trajectory of the corresponding Hamiltonian system, which appears to be chaotic in a nonuniform environment. From the experimental and practical viewpoints, the ray travel time is an important characteristic that, in some way, involves an information about the waveguide condition. It is shown that the ray travel time as a function of the initial momentum and propagation range in the unperturbed waveguide displays a scaling law. Some properties of the ray travel time predicted by this law still persist in periodically nonuniform waveguides with chaotic ray trajectories. As examples we consider few models with special attention to the underwater acousticwaveguide. It is demonstrated for a deep ocean propagation model that even under conditions of ray chaos the ray travel time is determined, to a considerable extent, by the coordinates of the ray endpoints and the number of turning points, i.e., by a topology of the ray path. We show how the closeness of travel times for rays with equal numbers of turning points reveals itself in ray travel time dependencies on the starting momentum and on the depth of the observation point. It has been shown that the same effect is associated with the appearance of the gap between travel times of chaotic and regular rays. The manifestation of the stickiness (the presence of such parts in a chaotic trajectory where the latter exhibits an almost regular behavior) in ray travel times is discussed.
Cookbook asymptotics for spiral and scroll waves in excitable media12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1494875View Description Hide Description
Algebraic formulas predicting the frequencies and shapes of waves in a reaction–diffusion model of excitable media are presented in the form of four recipes. The formulas themselves are based on a detailed asymptotic analysis (published elsewhere) of the model equations at leading order and first order in the asymptotic parameter. The importance of the first order contribution is stressed throughout, beginning with a discussion of the Fife limit, Fife scaling, and Fife regime. Recipes are given for spiral waves and detailed comparisons are presented between the asymptotic predictions and the solutions of the full reaction–diffusion equations. Recipes for twisted scroll waves with straight filaments are given and again comparisons are shown. The connection between the asymptotic results and filament dynamics is discussed, and one of the previously unknown coefficients in the theory of filament dynamics is evaluated in terms of its asymptotic expansion.
Chaos in the relativistic two-electron atom12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1499096View Description Hide Description
Chaotic autoionization of the relativistic two-electron atom is investigated. A theoretical analysis of chaotic dynamics of the relativistic outer electron under the periodic perturbation due to the inner electron, assumed to be on a circular orbit, based on the Chirikov criterion, is given. The diffusion coefficient, the ionization rate, and time are calculated.
Transversal homoclinic orbits in a transiently chaotic neural network12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1488895View Description Hide Description
We study the existence of snap-back repellers, hence the existence of transversal homoclinic orbits in a discrete-time neural network. Chaotic behaviors for the network system in the sense of Li and Yorke or Marotto can then be concluded. The result is established by analyzing the structures of the system and allocating suitable parameters in constructing the fixed points and their pre-images for the system. The investigation provides a theoretical confirmation on the scenario of transient chaos for the system. All the parameter conditions for the theory can be examined numerically. The numerical ranges for the parameters which yield chaotic dynamics and convergent dynamics provide significant information in the annealing process in solving combinatorial optimization problems using this transiently chaotic neural network.
Winnerless competition between sensory neurons generates chaos: A possible mechanism for molluscan hunting behavior12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1498155View Description Hide Description
In the presence of prey, the marine mollusk Clione limacina exhibits search behavior, i.e., circular motions whose plane and radius change in a chaotic-like manner. We have formulated a dynamical model of the chaotic hunting behavior of Clione based on physiological in vivo and in vitroexperiments. The model includes a description of the action of the cerebral hunting interneuron on the receptor neurons of the gravity sensory organ, the statocyst. A network of six receptor model neurons with Lotka–Volterra-type dynamics and nonsymmetric inhibitory interactions has no simple static attractors that correspond to winner take all phenomena. Instead, the winnerless competition induced by the hunting neuron displays hyperchaos with two positive Lyapunov exponents. The origin of the chaos is related to the interaction of two clusters of receptor neurons that are described with two heteroclinic loops in phase space. We hypothesize that the chaotic activity of the receptor neurons can drive the complex behavior of Clione observed during hunting.
Collective chaos synchronization of pairs of modes in a chaotic three-mode laser12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1496856View Description Hide Description
We study chaossynchronization experimentally in a modulated globally coupled three-mode laser with different modal gains subjected to self-mixing Doppler-shifted feedback, which can apply the loss modulation to individual modes at Doppler-shift frequencies. Depending on the pump power, different forms of collective chaossynchronizations were found to appear when the laser was modulated at the highest relaxation oscillation frequency, reflecting the change in cross-saturation coefficient among modes. In the present experiment, each pair of modes exhibited phase, lag, or generalized synchronization collectively according to the inherent antiphase dynamics, where these types of synchronization have already been demonstrated in two coupled chaotic oscillators in different physical systems. Information flows among oscillating modes which are established in different forms of collective chaossynchronizations were characterized by information-circulation analysis of the experimental time series.
Characterization of finite-time Lyapunov exponents and vectors in two-dimensional turbulence12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1499395View Description Hide Description
This paper discusses the application of Lyapunov theory in chaotic systems to the dynamics of tracer gradients in two-dimensional flows. The Lyapunov theory indicates that more attention should be given to the Lyapunov vector orientation. Moreover, the properties of Lyapunov vectors and exponents are explained in light of recent results on tracer gradients dynamics. Differences between the different Lyapunov vectors can be interpreted in terms of competition between the effects of effective rotation and strain. Also, the differences between backward and forward vectors give information on the local reversibility of the tracer gradient dynamics. A numerical simulation of two-dimensional turbulence serves to highlight these points and the spatial distribution of finite time Lyapunov exponents is also discussed in relation to stirring properties.
Reversible maps in two-degrees of freedom Hamiltonian systems12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1499595View Description Hide Description
It has been shown that a sub-class of two-degrees of freedom Hamiltonian systems possesses a reversing symmetry discovered by Birkhoff in the restricted problem of three bodies. This mixed space–time reversing symmetry, which is different from the classical time reversal symmetry, can be shared by time-reversible as well as time-irreversible systems. Examples of time-irreversible systems which possess this reversing symmetry are the restricted problem of three bodies as shown by Birkhoff in 1915, and a special case of the motion of a rigid body with a fixed point discussed in this paper. If a Hamiltonian system possesses this Birkhoff reversing symmetry, then there exists a surface of section for which the corresponding Poincaré map is Birkhoff-reversible. The Birkhoff-reversibility of this map may be used to study its global dynamics such as the locations and the distribution of the stable and unstable periodic points, the distribution of stable and chaotic regions, and the identification of the scattering regions.
Instabilities and spatio-temporal chaos of long-wave hexagon patterns in rotating Marangoni convection12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1502585View Description Hide Description
We consider surface-tension driven convection in a rotating fluid layer. For nearly insulating boundary conditions we derive a long-wave equation for the convection planform. Using a Galerkin method and direct numerical simulations we study the stability of the steady hexagonal patterns with respect to general side band instabilities. In the presence of rotation, steady and oscillatory instabilities are identified. One of them leads to stable, homogeneously oscillating hexagons. For sufficiently large rotation rates the stability balloon closes, rendering all steady hexagons unstable and leading to spatio-temporal chaos.
A hierarchy of coupled maps12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1502929View Description Hide Description
A large number of logistic maps are coupled together as a mathematical metaphor for complex natural systems with hierarchical organization. The elementary maps are first collected into globally coupled lattices. These lattices are then coupled together in a hierarchical way to form a system with many degrees of freedom. We summarize the behavior of the individual blocks, and then explore the dynamics of the hierarchy. We offer some ideas that guide our understanding of this type of system.

Introduction: Mapping and control of complex cardiac arrhythmias12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1504061View Description Hide Description
This paper serves as an introduction to the Focus Issue on mapping and control of complex cardiac arrhythmias. We first introduce basic concepts of cardiac electrophysiology and describe the main clinical methods being used to treat arrhythmia. We then provide a brief summary of the main themes contained in the articles in this Focus Issue. In recent years there have been important advances in the ability to map the spread of excitation in intact hearts and in laboratory settings. This work has been combined with simulations that use increasingly realistic geometry and physiology. Waves of excitation and contraction in the heart do not always propagate with constant velocity but are often subject to instabilities that may lead to fluctuations in velocity and cycle time. Such instabilities are often treated best in the context of simple one- or two-dimensional geometries. An understanding of the mechanisms of propagation and wave stability is leading to the implementation of different stimulation protocols in an effort to modify or eliminate abnormal rhythms.
Anatomic determinants of atrial arrhythmias: New insights from three-dimensional mapping12(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1488875View Description Hide Description
The recent development of new technologies for in vivo three-dimensional mapping of arrhythmias has enabled a better understanding of the richness of intracardiac anatomy and the relationship between anatomy and arrhythmogenesis. In the present manuscript we review two new technologies for in vivo mapping of atrial arrhythmias and explores the degree to which the anatomic complexity they reveal is important in determining the physiology of both focal and macroreentrant atrial tachycardias. These observations highlight the importance of including sufficient anatomic detail in modeling studies aimed at elucidating the pathophysiology of atrial arrhythmias.

Hello friends,
thanks to all of you for your help and knowledge you shared with me, we are almost ready for the frist print on coroplast.
It will be nazdar colorgloss 7900 inks with some retarder added over 250 mesh / 70 duro squidge.
One thing is still unclear and bothers me is what is "off-contact" and "contact" printing? what method (and how =)) I need to print?
Depending on the stickyness of the ink and your vacuum hold down, you will find you may have to vary the off contact - have some pieces of card stock, and shim the screen as needed. If it is not peeling after the print, add more.
If you need more lift at the back where your screen sits in the clamps, then put some shims in under the frame to lift it.
If the ink is all stringy, add more thinner. You can thin most inks down pretty good.
Hello Stan,
Off contact determines the speed in which the screen peels away from the substrate after the squeegee pull. As the squeegee is moving across the print, the screen should be lifting off of the substrate about 1" behind the squeegee. This ensures that the ink deposit doesn't get smeared as the screen is being lifted off. Also, when you put the screen down on top of the substrate, the mesh shouldn't touch the substrate at all. If it does, then you will have smearing and double-imaging. If I am printing coroplast, I use TWO thicknesses of coro, cut into 1.5" squares, and taped to the corners of the screens. This takes into account the thickness of your coro, and gives you extra.
The off contact is affected by many variables. The most prominent of these would be screen tension. The tighter the screen, the less off-contact you need to make the screen peel. The second would be ink viscosity, thinner ink peels easier, thick ink peels slower or not at all. The third variable would be squeegee speed, faster speed=slower peel. Coroplast isn't the easiest thing to learn on, it being thick and uneven, so make sure you keep plenty of spares around for test prints. Always account for spoilage during your print run. As you improve your technique, you will be able to set up and run a job with a minimum of spoilage. I usually mess up one or two out of every hundred, usually from ink drying up in the screen, and then having to clean the image area. Doing this in the middle of a print run sucks, and should be avoided whenever possible. You should let nothing stop you once you start printing. Interruptions slow you down, and that ink is drying fast, even with retarder. Once you start, put the answer machine on, and threaten to shoot anyone that seeks to interrupt your print run. ;)
I read your reply re: off contact and I would like to ask you a couple questions.
I have a small sign shop doing mainly vinyl and digital, but I have messed with screening coroplast a dozen or so times to keep busy during slow times.
I just picked up a machine, an old Cameo 30, and I'm trying to get it tweaked to run about seven jobs that have backed up on me.
First question is the 'off contact' you just answererd. When doing them my hand (18x24 CORO) I found that the more pressure the screen had on the coro prior to the squeegee swipe, the better the print came out. My screen supplier told my it is normal for the coro to stick to the screen, and to just pop it off. I think I'm understanding what you answered, but with a machine, wouldn't there have to be a great deal of pressure on the squeegee to push the screen down to contact the coro?
I just tried the machine for the first time, and I had so many issues (it was a nightmare) that I just shut everything down and cleaned it up to start over.
Other question is, how much can you thin the ink for coroplast. Supplier says 10-15% by weight, but someone else that replied said you can thin it 'pretty good'. What's yor opinion?
I'm really jammed up and you seem to know what your're talking about, so I'd be grateful for a reply asap.
Hello guys,
So we had our first day printing… Wow! That a feeling! I'm used to make vinyl yard signs, so each one takes many minutes, vinyl & labor… I was amazed how we printed 100 coros 2 sides in an hour and a half! And the results for the first timer's complete newbies were not so bad!
The only thing is the printouts are not "so clean" – little bleeding here and there, little "frosty" look occasionally. But I think with some practice and tune-ups we'll do ok.
So thank you all! You guys rock! Anytime you need any help / info with the vinyl or digital part of the world – give me a buzz.
Thanks again.
One more detail I'm not sure of... We cover only one side of the screen with the emulsion (the side there the squidge is going). Is it going to give better results if to cover the other side instead? (the side that actually touches the coroplast?)
Hi stan,
You have to pass 2 time and that to depent what mesh you have.
Now i ting you use 250 or 280 mesh for print, so when you cotting this screen you coat the 2 side,
first coat is out side the screen so you pass one shot at the side of the coro .
the second coat is inside the screen, so you push the emulsion out of the screen(side of pieced).
P.S. remeber,all the time when you coating you have to finish inside the screen(side of squigee)
Hope is help you
Thank you guys! You are great! with all your help i was able to start this thing up and already had printed about 6 orders totaling 700 coros.
now comes the "management" question - where to get a real good deal on bulk h-stakes & coros? the best deal i found is .5992 for coros (24"x18" white 500pcs & up) and .45 for h-stakes (2000 pcs & up), all being free shipped to me. I doint mind investing $3-4k for the materials but thess prices still looks to high?
and man oh man it's fun to print and such a pain in a ...oooops to clean up! takes us even more time to wash the screens than to print!
Have a good time guys,
good luck with sales,

Narrow your search by selecting one or more of the options below:
EPA announced in the April 25 Federal Register that its Regional Offices are proposing for public comment the draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit for stormwater discharges from large and small construction activities. This draft construction general permit includes new requirements that implement the technology-based Effluent Limitation Guidelines and New Source Performance Standards, which were issued by EPA for the construction and development industry on December 1, 2009. The draft permit also includes new water quality-based requirements for construction sites discharging stormwater to waters requiring additional pollutant control. EPA proposes to issue this construction general permit for five (5) years, and to provide permit coverage to eligible existing and new construction projects in all areas of the country where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority, including Idaho, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Mexico, Indian Country Lands, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories and protectorates. Comments on the draft general permit must be received on or before June 24, 2011. Comments on the preparation and issuance of the draft/preliminary Environmental Assessment must be received by May 25, 2011.

Stop and Listen
Objective: The students will become aware of the importance of their sense of hearing to learn about the world around them.
Materials: None needed
Grade level: Elementary - Intermediate
Season: Any
Time: 5 -10 minutes
This activity is best done as part of an outdoor investigation, usually near the beginning. The object of this activity is to have the students use their sense of hearing, as well as to interpret the sounds heard to find out what is happening around them. It requires a few moments of listening quietly to the environment.
Sounds are important, and can tell you what is nearby (waterfall, human activity. etc.); many animals have a highly developed sense of hearing. Why would it be important to them? For locating other animals? (This can work two ways - the predator looking for prey, as well as the prey listening for a predator). An example would be a rabbit (prey) hiding in the brush using its large ears to listen for foxes or other predators. While playing this game, the students should imagine that they are wild animals, silently listening for things around them.
Activity Description:
Go outside to a relatively open area. have the students join in a circle, turn half -way around and walk about 10 steps away (dispersing them so they are not right next to each other). They can then either sit or stand (depending on the ground conditions) and be silent to hear as much as possible. In a few minutes, call them back and share experiences.
- How many different sounds did they hear?
- What caused the sounds?
- Did they hear any animals!
- What were they doing?
- Was the wind blowing?
- Is there a stream nearby?
- Were there any sounds caused by humans?

AIKEN, S.C. – Thanks to investments from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the next phase has begun on decommissioning the Heavy Water Components Test Reactor (HWCTR) at the Savannah River Site (SRS). With the reactor building now empty of its two steam generators and the reactor vessel, work can start on moving equipment into the empty vessel cavity and filling the below-grade portion of HWCTR with approximately 5,000 cubic yards of grout to prevent contaminants from reaching the groundwater.
"The HWCTR project is a good example of the many Recovery Act projects that are contributing to the 75-percent footprint reduction strategy for SRS," said Candice Freeman, deputy federal projects director U.S. DOE-Savannah River. "Great care and careful planning have ensured the safe decommissioning of this piece of SRS history."
On Feb. 1, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), the management and operations contractor at SRS, used a 660-ton crane to remove HWCTR's 174,000-pound dome. Over the past two weeks, the crane lifted out two 41,600-pound steam generators and the 220,000-pound reactor vessel, while a smaller crane rotated the equipment to a horizontal plane before easing the massive pieces to the ground. The generators and the reactor vessel have been moved to the Site's burial ground in E Area for disposal.
After the reactor building is filled with grout below grade and the metal shell demolition is complete, a concrete cover will be placed over the reactor's footprint, officially marking the end of HWCTR's decommissioning. Completion of the $25-million Recovery Act project is expected by the end of August.
The test reactor has been a part of the U.S. Department of Energy's landscape at SRS since 1959. HWCTR's mission was to test experimental fuel assemblies for commercial heavy-water power reactors. In 1964, the U.S. government decided to pursue other reactor designs for commercial electrical power generation, and HWCTR became an inactive reactor.
"This important Recovery Act project has allowed for the safe disposition of HWCTR's key equipment, a major step before the below-grade grouting begins," said Paul Hunt, vice president of the Recovery Act portfolio for SRNS. "HWCTR has always had an important presence onsite; its decommissioning is no less significant."
Additional information on the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management and the Savannah River Site can be found at http://www.em.doe.gov or http://www.srs.gov. For more information about the SRS Recovery Act Project, visit www.srs.gov/recovery.

Journey to the Crown
posted by Rima Fakih at 12:38pm on 08/14/2010
This is a very important and exciting time in my life for so many reasons. I have the honor of representing the USA in the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant. I am living my dream of competing in the Pageant with 82 of the most beautiful women in the world. I have been working out hard, watching past Miss Universe pageants, and taking notes in preparation for my arrival at Mandalay Bay on August 7th. The Miss USA Pageant helped me prepare for what lies ahead, and has provided great insight on what I can expect at Miss Universe. However Miss USA had 51 contestants and Miss Universe has 80+ contestants from all over the world. I try not to think about the pressure and instead concentrate on how I can reach the top. The last two weeks I have meet with my personal trainer, my walking coach, and my language coach who have all assisted in preparing my mind and body for the pageant.
I know this can be a challenging time for the contestants but we must not forget to have fun! Yes, we are constantly being judged but being yourself is the best way to impress the judges. The Miss Universe Organization has planned some exciting appearances and events, and I can't wait to arrive in Las Vegas to have it all begin!
I encourage all of you to continue to support me in my quest for the Universe crown. Be sure to keep up with our news at www.missuniverse.com and let me know how I'm doing! Help me welcome the 80+ beauties coming to my home country. Let's show them what American is all about. Help cheer me on like it's the world cup....USA...USA...USA :)

News Tokyopop's Marmalade Boy Anime License Expires (Updated)
posted on 2007-08-10 13:59 EDT
AnimeonDVD.com reports that Tokyopop's license for Toei Animation's anime adaptation of the Marmalade Boy romance comedy manga has expired. The issue comes in light of Funimation's agreement to distribute Tokyopop's anime DVD releases. Funimation's press release on the agreement last year had indicated that Marmalade Boy would be included in the agreement. However, the license's expiration will prevent this, unless a new license is obtained from the Japanese rights holders. Update: Peter Ahlstrom reports that Tokyopop's licenses for Saint Tail has expired, but only the license for the first 24 episodes of Marmalade Boy has expired. Tokyopop's "license for episodes 25 through 76 will not expire for a couple [of] years yet."

If 11-year-old Ethan Worsham is feeling any pressure as the title character in this summer's biggest musical in Amarillo, he's not showing it.
Worsham stars as the adorable moppet Oliver Twist in "Oliver!," this year's Summer Youth Musical from Amarillo Opera.
The production opens Thursday for a four-day run in the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, 500 S. Buchanan St. Performances will be staged at 7:30 p.m. July 10 through July 12 and 2:30 p.m. June 13.
Worsham expressed no reservations about the role in a recent interview.
"I've been preparing for it," Worsham said. "I think I've got it kinda down.
"I just need to remember everything they're giving me, all the blocking, the lines, the songs, dances."
Director Linda Hughes said Worsham isn't sweating a bit.
"He's a real pro," Hughes said. "Most everything just rolls off of him, and he really takes direction well.
"He's one of those kids, to be perfectly honest, where you see him at this age and just know he's going to do something important," she said.
Worsham heads a cast of 51 actors and 22 orchestra members, along with behind-the-scenes technicians and interns, in this year's musical.
"They work at the highest possible level they can work at while they are involved in this program," said production manager Jayme McBride. "The standards are so high, it's almost like a dare to set it, but the kids, the performers meet it every single time, and they don't stop working.
"Their professionalism is through the roof."
The British musical, written by Lionel Bart, offers the children the chance to explore their dramatic sides, Hughes said.
"Most of our kids, because they are working to become actors, they love the drama," Hughes said. "Very rarely do they have the opportunity to perform drama."
That's one reason Isaac Youree, who plays the Artful Dodger, is excited about this musical.
"There's a lot of deeper meaning in everything you do and say," Youree said. "You get to make decisions for your character, even decisions mentally that the audience may not even see, but things to help you make certain actions or certain steps."
The program also offers a chance for the young artists to bond with fellow creatives from other programs and, in some cases, towns.
"You become family with everyone here," said Harrison Stringer, who plays Fagin. "You grow so close and make new friends every year. It's basically like a free theater camp."

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Some 70 people gathered at the Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau on Monday night, but only one of them wore a bright orange suit.
That was musician Sam Mosley, who formed the Mosley & Johnson Band with his friend, the late Bob Johnson.
Friends and family of both men, as well as band members and other well-wishers, attended the opening of a new exhibit that pays tribute to the rhythm and blues band and its accomplishments.
"This is indeed an honor and privilege and my pleasure to be here with you today to help celebrate the journey of Mosley and Johnson and the Mosley & Johnson Band," said Mosley, a New Albany resident.
Since 1968, the band has performed as Sam & Bob and the Soul Men, MoJoBa (short for Mosley Johnson Band) and Mosley & Johnson.
The band has performed at venues with B.B. King, Lou Rawls, Percy Sledge, Joan Baez, Willie Dixon and more.
One of the exhibits is an album titled "Blues from the Montreux Jazz Festival" that features the names Bobby "Blue" Bland, Denise LaSalle, Johnnie Taylor and Mosley & Johnson on the cover.
Bland, Taylor and LaSalle, along with Little Milton, Otis Clay and others, have recorded Mosley & Johnson tunes.
"It has been my pleasure to work with some of the greatest blues musicians and singers in the world," Mosley said.
He said that if Johnson, who died in 1998, had been at Monday's event, he would've been in his element.
"He would've been beside himself," Mosley said. "He wouldn't have stopped talking."
Johnson's widow, Lillie Johnson, helped pull a black cover off the exhibit that highlighted her husband's achievements.
"I was behind him 100 percent because I knew he loved his music," she said. "I would go to bed listening to music and I would wake up listening to music. That was his life and I lived with it. I really enjoyed it."
In addition to family, current and former band members attended the celebration.
"I've got some band members now that have been with me 40 years," Mosley said, "and most all of them have been with me 30 years plus."
Doris Badie of Pontotoc was with the duo in 1968, when they performed as Sam & Bob featuring Doris Badie.
"We sang our own songs," she said, "and we went everywhere – everywhere they'd book us."
This is the second in a series of CVB rotating exhibits that highlight Northeast Mississippi musicians. The first showcased bluegrass artist Merle "Red" Taylor from Saltillo.
The Mosley & Johnson exhibit will be on display until the end of the year, and Mosley is helping CVB officials gather materials for another exhibit that will open in January.

The First Annual Quail Run Antiques Show will be held October 14th – 16th, 2011 at the High Hampton Inn Pavilion in Cashiers, NC and will benefit the Cashiers Historical Society. The show will feature local, national and international dealers offering a wide range of English, American and Continental furniture and decorative arts including a vendor who specializes in Civil War artifacts.
Since the mid-1800s families have flocked to Cashiers for the fall to enjoy all of the spectacular natural scenery that the mountains have to offer. Visitors come to this village in the summer and fall to enjoy the outdoors and the wonderful community that still thrives here. The Antiques Show is perfectly timed to take place at the height of leaf season.
The Show is co-chaired by Elizabeth Rodriguez and Skip Ryan. "We are extremely pleased to host the first Quail Run Antiques Show this year. Cashiers is emerging as a leading destination in the south for quality American and European antiques, so we think this show will have great appeal to a wide range of audiences," commented Ryan and Rodriguez.
The honorary chairman is internationally recognized and local favorite interior designer Charles Faudree. Mr. Faudree will do a book signing on Saturday, October 15 at the High Hampton Inn Pavilion for his new book, Charles Faudree Details with proceeds benefiting the Cashiers Historical Society. The "King" of French-inspired interior design, Mr. Faudree is a new resident of Cashiers and his clients come to him from around the world.
The Cashiers Historical Society is one of the top civic organizations in Western North Carolina. The group not only owns and operates the Zachary-Tolbert House Museum, which is special for its rural vernacular Greek Revival architecture and large collection of plain-style furniture, but also actively works to save the historic resources of Cashiers and maintain the village's sense of place. The Historical Society works closely with many groups in Western North Carolina including the historic High Hampton Inn.
Since 1922, High Hampton Inn and Country Club, surrounded by the ethereal beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, has been hosting generation after generation of guests who return time and again to renew, rejuvenate and reconnect amidst nature's playground. Listed on National Register of Historic Places, tradition and hospitality rule the day at this mountain resort where customs such as Afternoon Tea and dressing for dinner and are held in as high regard as the stunning scenery and golf, recreation and children's programs.
The show will be open 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. Daily tickets are $12 and will be sold at the door. A cocktail supper will be held on Friday, October 14th, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. in the High Hampton Inn Pavilion. Tickets to the cocktail supper are $100 and are available by contacting the Cashiers Historical Society at (828) 743-7710 or email@example.com by Lydia Doyle

The Book Killers have always been with us. Before recorded history they were with us, murdering the scholars and storytellers and mystics of every tribe they ever conquered.
Fahrenheit 451: The temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns.
Fahrenheit 451: The temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns.
They're back.
But then, they've never gone away.
They were there when Great Library burned in Alexandria 2,000 years ago. They destroyed the library known as the House of Wisdom when the Mongol Empire invaded Baghdad in 1258. They say the invaders took the books from every ruined library in Baghdad and piled them into the Tigris River, to serve as a bridge for their soldiers and chariots.
They say the river ran black with ink for years.
In 2003 the United States invaded Iraq with an indifference, incompetence, and arrogance that led to anarchy in the streets. There was widespread rioting, vandalism, and looting of priceless ancient antiquities and manuscripts. The National Library burned, and the flames lit the skies for miles around.
Seven centuries later, the great library of Baghdad died again.
Always before it had been like snuffing a candle. The police went first and adhesive-taped the victim's mouth and bandaged him off into their glittering beetle cars, so when you arrived you found an empty house. You weren't hurting anyone, you were hurting only things!

Now the book assassins have come to Wall Street. They removed the people and property from Zuccotti Park, destroying or damaging thousands of books in the process. Occupiers and Supporters brought the surviving books to a press conference this week. They were "torn, wrinkled, coverless and even mangled," as Gianna Palmer reported. "Among the books visible on the table were a leather-bound copy of the Bible, a collection of Chinese mythology and a volume of selected poems by Allen Ginsberg."
Mayor Bloomberg hasn't apologized. In his press conference announcing the raid, he wore the same arrogant look of self-satisfaction that humanity has seen for thousands of years. It was the face of every Mongol chieftain, every Roman centurion, every officious book-destroying official that has ever lived.
Bloomberg and his compatriots would undoubtedly be horrified at any comparison to these vandals and barbarians. If Bloomberg ever does deign to apologize, which might only happen if there's enough political pressure, he'll undoubtedly say it was an accident.
And since things really couldn't be hurt, since things felt nothing, and things don't scream or whimper, as this woman might begin to scream and cry out, there was nothing to tease your conscience later.
And since things really couldn't be hurt, since things felt nothing, and things don't scream or whimper, as this woman might begin to scream and cry out, there was nothing to tease your conscience later.
But it was no accident. As retired Philadelphia Police Capt. Ray Lewis explained to OWS protesters, police procedure demands that receipts be provide for any personal property that is confiscated. The property must then be stored carefully. Negligence is no defense for the destruction of any property. And a society that values knowledge should be especially horrified at the destruction of books.
Bloomberg and his minions ignored police procedure. His police, aided by a private militia, disregarded property rights that are safeguarded for any suspected criminal.
But then, they knew they weren't dealing with criminals. They were dealing with something much more threatening to their system: Independence.
You were simply cleaning up. Janitorial work, essentially ... Who's got a match!
You were simply cleaning up. Janitorial work, essentially ... Who's got a match!
Rights are inalienable, which means they can't be sold or transferred. Somebody should tell that to Bloomberg and any other politicians. It means you can't designate a public area as "privately owned" and then retroactively suspend civil liberties there. Somebody ought to give Mayor Bloomberg a copy of the Constitution.
I'm sure the Occupiers would have been happy to lend him theirs.
Rights are also indivisible. If you discard one or two of our legal safeguards, you've discarded them all. Nobody gets to decide how many of our freedoms we're allowed, when or where they may be granted or denied. That's not freedom at all.
Books in the Occupy Library were literally treated like garbage. Their owners were finally allowed to reclaim their shredded remains - at the Sanitation Department.
But that shouldn't be a surprise. Bloomberg and his forces were already treating the Constitution like trash and police manuals like toilet paper. Why behave any differently toward a library? After all, Bloomberg and his peers must have been furious at what they would have considered the arrogance, the impertinence, of Zuccotti Park's residents. A library? A library is for a community!
And we decide who is a community and who isn't, say the Book Killers.
A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man's mind.
A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man's mind.
Even worse, books contain ideas. And information. You only have to read one or two of them to realize how transparently Mayor Bloomberg is lying—about human rights, or about the cause of the financial crisis of 2008. One of the Occupy movement's great victories has been the unmasking of Michael Bloomberg, who until now had been the false face of a "centrist" mythology designed to hide the corruption behind today's politico-economic dynasty.
Billionaires sometimes endow libraries, but they don't want people creating their own. Knowledge is power, and power must be centralized. The centralization is well underway. As the book publishing industry shrinks, that power will be concentrated in the hands of fewer and larger corporations.
At this rate, the "Firemen" in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 will soon be obsolete. So will Bloomberg's batallions. Soon a faceless bureaucrat or corporate lackey will be able to destroy every single copy of any "unauthorized" book - instantly, simultaneously, and permanently—with a single electronic command.
It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.
It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.
Have you seen the video clips of the Mayor announcing his crackdown? It's the look of a man who was, as Southern aristocrats used to say, "taking his pleasure with his social inferiors." But some pleasures extract a high price on the soul.
In the end it doesn't matter whether the destruction of Zuccotti Park's library was "deliberate," or just the byproduct of a vandal's disrespect for the written word. Either way it showed us the values of the Bloomberg Administration. We've seen those values for 2,000 years.
Books were destroyed in Alexandria? Too bad, but we needed to burn the waterfront. Books were destroyed in Baghdad? Too bad, but we needed a bridge. They're all the same, these Book Killers. When it comes to the written word, their indifference and contempt reveals their brutality and hatred.
Destroying books is the instinctive act of tyrants and their servants. Subconsciously or consciously, they're driven by a desire to crush the minds of others, the awareness of others, the memory of others. Most of all, they're driven by a desire to destroy their own awareness and memory, because deep inside themselves they know what they're doing is wrong.
The Book Killers. Every time they destroy a book, they destroy a piece of themselves. They can ruin the physical objects, but they can't ruin the spirit that creates them, reads them, and shares them.
The Book Killers. In every age, they return. They come back to destroy the books, and they often succeed. But they never kill the minds, the memories, or the insights behind them. They can never kill knowledge, or passion, or justice, or wisdom. They're always trying, but they always fail.
And in the end, that's why they always lose.
Excuse me? Talk about hyperbole. What a strange position for a transhumanist to take, when we live in post scarcity conditions regarding printed matter. Libraries dispose of old books and periodicals every day, when they can't sell them; but nobody accuses them of "book killing" because plenty more copies exist somewhere. You could replace every book in the Occupiers' library with just a few clicks of a mouse.
I think the point is not the replacibility of the books, but the fact that the books belonged to the community and the decision to destroy them was not the communities, but the Mayor's and the police. There is also the issue of property rights that are given to criminals, but not to the occupy people who weren't charged with anything.
The hyperbole is deliberate, I expect, in an effort for us to do more than shrug and wander off to do the bidding of the corporate government.
Agreed. You are a pastor who gets it.
In fact there ought to be no book confiscations, nor censorship, either, of any sort. A prisoner should be allowed to receive any books he wants; if anyone doesn't want the state to pay for those books, the books can always be sent from private sources.
Far too many religious people want censorship (and, BTW, Alex, it isn't that a Christian loves God; it is—if one accepts God—that God loves the Christian).

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Water Power Program is committed to developing and deploying a portfolio of innovative technologies for clean, domestic power generation from resources such as hydropower, waves, and tides.
What We Do
Leading the world in clean energy is critical to strengthening the American economy, and the Water Power Program is at the forefront of the nation's clean energy frontier. The Water Program works with national laboratories, industry, universities, and other federal agencies to conduct research and development activities through competitively selected, directly funded, and cost-shared projects.We are pioneering research and development efforts in both marine and hydrokinetic and hydropower technologies to improve performance, lower cost and ultimately support the United States' ability to sustainably meet its growing energy demand. Marine and hydrokinetic technologies capture energy from waves, ocean thermal gradients, and tidal, ocean and river currents.
Why It Matters
Our cutting-edge research portfolio is aimed to produce the next generation of water power technologies and jump-start private sector innovation critical to the country's long-term economic growth, energy security, and international competitiveness by accelerating the development of markets for those technologies.
Providing Clean, Domestic Energy to Grow our Economy
Hydroelectric power, the largest source of renewable electricity in the United States, already allows the nation to avoid 200 million metric tons of carbon emissions each year. Although only a small portion of existing dams produce electricity, new generation equipment can be added to existing infrastructure, upgrades can be made at operating facilities, and innovative sustainable hydropower plants can be built to access the United States' untapped hydropower capacity. The Water Power Program leads the critical research and development efforts necessary to develop the groundbreaking technologies that will drive sustainable growth and economic opportunity for our country.
Tapping New Sources of Clean, Renewable Energy
Marine and hydrokinetic technologies generate energy from highly predictable waves, currents, tides, and ocean thermal resources. With more than 50% of the American population living within 50 miles of the coast, a cost-effective marine and hydrokinetic industry could provide a substantial amount of electricity for the nation. The Water Power Program is investing heavily in this new and innovative industry, a nascent technology sector that is an example of American ingenuity at its best, producing cutting-edge technologies that can contribute to our nation's energy independence.
Supporting Renewable Energy with Stable Power Delivery
Some renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, can present challenges when added in large amounts to the electric grid because their generation varies with fluctuations in their renewable "fuel" (i.e. wind speed and sunlight availability). Conventional and pumped-storage hydropower, on the other hand, are stable power sources that are also flexible enough to smooth out these fluctuations as they have large reservoirs of "fuel" (i.e. water) to fill any gaps in generation at a moment's notice. This stability and flexibility supports the deployment and integration of more variable renewable resources like wind and solar, increasing our energy independence and lowering our carbon footprint. The Water Power Program is pursuing opportunities to enable this "green backing green" scenario in more locations by quantifying and communicating hydropower's full benefits to stakeholders.
Enabling the Renewable Energy Market
Unlike more traditional sources of electricity such as oil and natural gas, water power technologies emit very little greenhouse gases and can provide our country with a source of clean, renewable power. The Water Power Program is sensitive to the environmental concerns surrounding water power, and we study our oceans, tides and rivers to ensure the technologies we develop are truly sustainable.
National Laboratories
The Water Power Program funds research and development activities at the following national laboratories:

Once again, the Patriots will be in one of the games of the week in terms of profile, this time against the Vikings. This maybe a must win for the Vikings as they can barely afford to be another game behind the Bears and Packers. The Patriots however are sitting pretty on top of a 5-1 record, but wouldn't like to lose and fall behind the Jets.
Both teams have injury concerns to key players heading into the game but only one will be stealing the headlines. We'll start with the slightly lackluster name, but a very key one, for the Patriots. That name is Patrick Chung who has become a key player on not only defense, but also special teams for the Pats. Chung was limited in practice in the week, but is expected to play after being injured during the Chargers game.
However, we all know the big name injury news is going to be about Favre. There are just so many questions though. Will he play? How much pain will he play through if he does play? Can he withstand a few hits? How will the injury affect his performance level? Is that really his junk? Hopefully all these questions will be answered on Sunday (well, maybe not the last one).
But for now here are some keys to deciding the winner in this match up of the 5-1 Patriots and the 2-4 Vikings.

Harriet Lake
Harriet Lake in Clackamas County, Oregon
Lake Harriet is a great little spot for fishing and camping. This 22-acre reservoir, which stores water for PGE's Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project was created shortly after the turn of the century when a concrete dam was built across the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River. Harriet is sheltered from the wind in a narrow, heavily timbered canyon. Because of it's small size, Harriet is a perfect place for first-timers to try out a new float tube or pontoon boat. A small, 10-site campground is located at the head of the lake. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife normally stocks more than 10,000 rainbow trout in Harriet annually. There are monthly stockings starting in Mid-April, and they continue through August. This often results in easy, unchallenging fly fishing. In addition there are self sustaining populations of both cutthroat and brown trout which spawn in the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River. These populations of wild trout are fairly small, but some of the brown trout can grow to more than 20-inches.
Directions: Take Highway 224 from Estacada, OR. Just
past the Ripplebrook Campground, turn left on U.S. Forest Service Road 57,
then take another left on U.S. Forest Service Road 4630. Watch for signs to
Lake Harriet.

Tasha HobbsVeteran Student
Life can get pretty hectic for chemistry major Tasha Hobbs '14. Between classes, research, work and caring for her young son, there's rarely, if ever, a moment of free time.
"It makes for a very busy life," said Hobbs, who served in the U.S. Army for four years. "Sometimes, it's hard to find balance between everything."
It helps to have professors who are on her side. That's always been the case at North Central College.
"Whenever I find myself struggling, I can talk to any of my professors and they help me by taking the time to listen and give advice when necessary. These are people who have succeeded in my field and are my role models," she said. "The guidance they offer is much appreciated. They understand what their students go through because they've been there."
Hobbs looked at a variety of colleges when she made the decision to return to school. North Central's location and size made it a perfect fit. She was nervous about pursuing a chemistry degree at first, but a meeting with her advisor changed that.
"He helped me see that first and foremost, I had to believe in myself," she said.
Hobbs serves as a student mentor for a veteran's group on campus. She is also active in SMACS (Student Members of the American Chemical Society).
"Going from the military to college was easy because there are so many people here willing to help through the transition. We (veterans) don't have to figure all of this out alone. There's a great network of support for us," she said. "I knew I made the right decision in choosing North Central College."

I arrived late in the evening and the owner was on hand to let me in and get settled .Room/bathroom were clean and comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was the classic 'Full English Breakfast' -featuring Award winning sausages from the local butcher!
No Dislikes - disappointed that i missed the 'Biztro restaurant'. Next time !
The meals were the best part of our stay at this "hotel" which, apart from the bathroom, resembled more of a B+B.
We had been allocated a room up on the top floor, which meant we had to climb quite a lot of stairs to get to our room.
I was most impressed with all the staff. They were polite and extremely helpful
I felt my room was a little tired and could have done with some redecorating
The size of the room was great. Food was value for money from the bar, the breakfast was good and extensive.
Nothing major
Comfortable room with good facilities,a very good meal with very effici.ent and friendly service
no lift
Stunning building with wonderful grounds and great breakfast and updated room.
Pleasant setting with an impressive approach
The room was too condensed
I proposed at the plough and I am very glad I picked it. Lovely staff, great room, good price, nice food, great location.
It was all worth the money. The room, the facilities, the staff & the location
Convenient and very quiet.
there were no other facilities in the vicinity so you are a captive audience. As a consequence, the prices for drinks etc were very high.
nothing particularly stands out - rooms were comfortable but not special, food was mostly good. Waiting staff were attentive
owner / manager has a rather abrupt manner which can be off putting, Breakfast portions are small and do not justify the £9.95 price tag. Cheese board portions also small - I have seen bigger Dairy Lea triangles!
lamb shank evening meal poor. good cooked breakfast.
tea coffee in rooms
the 'hot' breakfast was served before we had finished the cereal. It could have been hotter
The lovely village location and splendid grounds, the roaring fires and tasteful country house feel.
The restaurant was a little disorganised. Four people took our orders and served us and the co-ordination was lacking and the service was therefore slow. Why not allocate given tables to specific waiting staff?
The hotel grounds and local area
The fact they have a two tier system where guests staying at the Old Swan get dining reservation preferences and their own roped off lounge area that the Minster guests cannot use
First room we had we had no hot running water, radiators didnt work and it was freezing cold, there was no shower and room was tired looking with poor decor and dirty net curtains, we where then moved to a second room which also had no shower, noisy plumbing, but with the temp outside being minus 5degs at least we were warm.
Close to the Thames Path
General run down appearance
The room, the quiet, the comfortable bed, the excellent breakfast (even though I only ate it once), the accommodating staff (thank you for my early morning latte on the patio).
Turning off the patio lights around 11 p.m. (midnight?)..... I couldn't have my late night read outside.... a small thing, but important for me. It would have been good to have a facecloth included with the room's linens.
Clean, pleasant staff, good central location on the high street.
Room a bit tired looking. Cream for coffee in the room was out of date. Cold room- the heating had not been put on. Facing bins at back of building & a bit noisy when staff were. Putting the rubbish out.
Old English atmosphere,comfortly appointed,good food and very friendly members of staff who gave help when it was needed
Memories of the past,good service, friendly staff and excellent food
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were large and well appointed with nice White Company toiletries.
The friendliest of the staff and attention to detail was excellent. I stay at many hotels on business and this is right up there with the best.
Staff making us feel well taken care of.
On a busy street
We only stayed for one night but it was great to get there and park at the hotel, book in dump our bags in the room and have a couple of drinks in the bar. We had a complimentary bottle of wine and fruit basket in our room, we chose to eat in the bar, we could have eaten in the restaurant, the food was gorgeous and the staff very friendly. it really is a beautiful old hotel a good breakfast in the morning. I probably would not have chosen the four poster room if another had been available, just because of the extra expense but on the other hand we do like a room within the hotel rather than in the courtyard of a hotel
nothing to fault
The Staff were welcoming and friendly
The hotel is very central to the town and so pretty and welcoming. The food was excellent we had dinner and breakfast and couldnt fault the food or service.
No complaints at all
The attitude of the staff was very friendly and helpful at all times
The lighting in the bedroom wastoo weak for easy reading. I have spoken to reception about this.
Superb location. The staff were very pleasant, helpful and, obviously, well trained. We had a superior room which was beautifully decorated and included fun touches such as a teddy bear on the bed and a rubber duck in the bath. Appreciated the Molton Brown toiletries. The food was excellent.
The hotel and bedroom weren't cold but could have been warmer.
All the staff were very welcoming and breakfast was excellant
The food at this hotel is absolutely superb, probably some of the best food we have ever eaten.
Tally, Scott & not forgetting Andy were really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel very comfortable from the beginning to the end of our stay. The food was excellent and our room was very comfortable. Will definitely recommend to family & friends.
Just the ticket! a very warm welcome, very accommodating, excellent food and in the most beautiful setting. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.
OPen fires and relaxed atmosphere
en-suite shower and toilet were cramped. Shower temperature knob fell off!
Comfortable,quiet hotel in the old style with excellent food,log fires and unobtrusive service.
