Commencement is our celebration of the ultimate success of our students. Commencement recognizes the completion of the degree and gives us a look forward to life following experiences as a UMD student.
The UMD Feast of Nations was started in Duluth in 1968. A small group of international students gathered at the home of Magaret Orlich to prepare a meal together and perform songs and dances from their native countries. The Feast of Nations became an annual event, now hosting 300 guests, including UMD students, faculty, staff and members of the community. Students from the College of St. Scholastica and the University of Wisconsin, Superior also participate.
Guests are treated to exhibits from around the world, a banquet of exotic dishes and lively entertainment. The Feast of Nations is usually held in late March or early April.
UMD celebrates homecoming each fall by inviting alumni and friends to come back to the campus and participate in a variety of events. A homecoming parade and football game are the hallmarks of homecoming, but a footrace, music, food, and other events add to the festival atmosphere.
The University of Minnesota Duluth mascot is the bulldog, named Champ. When UMD was the Duluth State Teachers College, the traditional designation was "peds" for pedagogues or teachers, but this did not suffice as an appropriate image for UMD's athletic teams. In the spring of 1933 the athletes themselves picked the bulldog as the school's mascot. Originally named "Killer," the mascot's name was changed to "Champ" in 1997 to present a less violent image.
During Spring 2000 the Anishinabe Student Organization will host its 30th Annual Traditional Powwow. The powwow is the largest single diversity event held on the UMD campus. In the past the powwow has featured 10 to 20 drums and singers, 75 to 100 dancers in regalia, and has often 800 to 1000 people have enjoyed the feast. The powwow is open to all and is indicative of UMD's commitment to American Indian history and culture.
The antique lamp on the regents seal represents the metaphysical sciences; the telescope, the physical sciences; the plow, the industrial arts; and the palette with brushes, the fine arts. The Latin motto means "a common bond for all the arts."
Because the University's colors varied during the early years, William Watts Folwell, first president of the University, appointed English instructor Augusta Norwood Smith to choose permanent school colors. Smith, "a woman of excellent taste," according to Folwell, chose maroon and gold. First used sometime between 1876 and 1880, the colors weren't officially approved by the regents until March 1940. The original school colors of UMD were green and gold, when UMD was the Duluth State Teachers College. The colors were changed to maroon and gold after the campus became part of the University of Minnesota System in 1947.
"Hail! Minnesota" was written by Truman Rickard, class of 1904, for use in a class play. University student Arthur Upson wrote a second verse in 1905. In 1945, the song became the official state anthem. The "Minnesota Rouser," sung at most University athletic events, was written by Floyd M. Hutsell in 1909 in response to a contest sponsored by the Minneapolis Tribune. The spirited "UMD Rouser" is a variation of the "Minnesota Rouser."
The words to the UMD Rouser were submitted by Mike Dean, 2007-08 Alumni Board President:
"UMD Rouser"
Now let us praise UMD
Ever strong, and true we will be
And to the Bulldogs name
Maroon and Gold's our fame
We hail University, Rah, Rah, Rah
"U"-"M"-"D", Always with our loyalty
Sing and cheer to be victorious UMD!
B-U-L-L-D-O-G-S. Hey, BULLDOGS.
UMD Historian Neil Storch and UMD Photographer Ken Moran collaborated on "UMD Comes of Age: The First One Hundred Years," published in 1996. For a deeper look into the history and traditions of UMD, please see this excellent book.

What is benzoyl peroxide topical (Benzagel)?
Benzoyl peroxide has an antibacterial effect. It also has a mild drying effect, which allows excess oils and dirt to be easily washed away from the skin.

Benzoyl peroxide topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of benzoyl peroxide topical?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

I really have no idea, no idea at all.

Realtek HD Audio Manager,
Skype 22.214.171.124 -- Now Updated to 22.214.171.124

I have been having a problem with this for about 2 months now. I haven't been able to get skype to pick up my mic at all. I am able to have other applications to pick it up from Windows Recorder to Audacity 1.3. I have tried to use it in different slots and different mics but skype will not work.
There is a picture attached which shows that my setting are the same and the mic is working on both Windows Recorder to Audacity 1.3. Microsoft can pick it up fine on the properties but skype does not.
Again any help would be awesome and like I said I will edit this if I get an answer so people can see.
Done - Uncheck/Disable Compatibility Mode
Done - Reset Internet Explorer to Default
Done - Update your Device Drivers
Done - Clean Skype Folders/Files
Done - Run Basic Computer Maintenance
Done - Complete Uninstall

This really does not seem like an isolated issue to just myself.
But more research needed.

Boots C. says, Can you please upgrade your Skype application: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/
15:51:41 moltile says, I am currently running 220.127.116.11, is this not the current version? 15:51:52Boots C. says, Thank you.
15:53:57 Boots C. says, In order to resolve your issue, I need to escalate this for you.
15:54:05 moltile says, I have reinstalled current version 22.214.171.124, uninstalled current 18.104.22.168 and installed a previous version 188.8.131.52 then uninstalled previous version 22.214.171.124 and reinstalled 188.8.131.52.
15:54:43 moltile says, Ahh ok. What does "escalate" entail?
15:55:23 Boots C. says, What they will do is to investigate the link that you have provided and why it is affecting Skype.
15:55:53 Boots C. says, Since I have provided the troubleshooting steps and you have done clean installation.
15:57:52 moltile says, Will this process be dealt with on this chat?
15:58:33 Boots C. says, Basically, you will received an email response from them. 16:00:58 Boots C. says, Is there anything else I can help you with today?
16:01:09 moltile says, Should I have an email response now or will I be getting one in the future? 16:01:40 moltile says, And if in the future what would be the timescale for that? 16:02:18 Boots C. says, I cannot provide a specific timeframe but I have noted on the report as urgent.
16:04:03 moltile says, Thank you. Would you be able to provide a general timeframe?
16:04:28 Boots C. says, I am sorry but I do not have the information.
16:05:17 moltile says, That is fine, thank you for your help.
16:05:48 Boots C. says, It's been a pleasure speaking with you today. Thank you for contacting Skype Live Support, have a great day. We value your feedback. Please be aware that we will ask you a few questions after closing the chat window about your experience with us today. Once you are ready please click on the "Exit" button.
So no help there then.
In Windows Sound panel -> Enhancements select the option: Disable all sound effects.
I don't know why, but sometimes this can help.
Hey thanks for the reply,
I have attempted to fiddle with the enhancments on the properties page. It has not been successful. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
get an external mic
I was having the same issue and I think I fixed it.
Inside Control Panel, I went to Sound -> Communications
That tab says: Windows can automatically adjust the volume of different sounds when you are using your PC to place or receive telephone calls. When Windows detects communications activity
I answered "Do nothing" instead of the default "Reduce by 80%" and it looks like it's working now.
I just solved this problem on my computer. My mic was dead, but only on Skype. I noticed that this problem started after an update from Skype and things may got screwed around by updating. Sign in to Skype, Click your "Tools" tap then click "Option" then on Audio Setting make sure you click on you current mic and then "save"

Fledgling beekeeper here. I'm going with 10 frame mediums and I'm thinking about making up some "nucs" like this: http://parkerfarms.biz/Images/10framenuc2.JPG out of regular 10-frame medium hive boxes. Then, simply building the hive up from there and using a simple piece of plywood on top for a top entrance.
- Bottom boards are just plywood
- Top boards are just plywood
- Nucs are just one-level hives
- Hives are just multi-level nucs
- ?
Obviously I know nothing at this point. What am I missing?

SUPERKOMBAT Teams with Fight NOW TV and Epicentre.tv
- Written by Dave Walsh
SUPERKOMBAT's WGP series continues this weekend with a big WGP event in Romania and for fans across the globe looking to watch it, there is some hope for you outside of Eurosport! If you live in the greater New York area you'll have access to the SUPERKOMBAT WGP event via Fight NOW TV. Fight NOW TV is a cable network that is available in the New York area and will be carrying SUPERKOMBAT live.
If you are not in the New York area and wish to watch the SUPERKOMBAT WGP event live, it will be available via Epicentre.tv for $9.99. You'll probably remember Epicentre from the K-1 World MAX Final 16 event a few weeks ago and I think that those who saw it know that it was a quality stream without any problems, which is a good thing. So for kickboxing fans this weekend there are going to be a lot of events to watch, which is a great thing!

A couple questions please.
I did a search but came up empty.
For those that are selling nucs and queens, are you required to charge sales tax?
I know it will depend on my state (Washington State) but I don't believe have never been charged tax for anything I have purchased for bee keeping, including equipment, queens and bees. I just wondered if because it is an agricultural product it is exempt.
What overnight shipper do you prefer for queens?
Overwintering 130+ colonies this year, I finally have enough assets to manage and product to sell to warrant more of a business format instead of a home farm project.
Thank you for your replies.

Colonial Elegance on the Eastern Shore
Inn at 202 Dover • Easton, MD
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in the Victorian Guest Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($334)

- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a Suite, Fridays and Saturdays with Vodka Tasting and Hors D'oeuvres and 20% Discount on Dinner at Peacock Restaurant & Lounge ($529)
The Destination
The Chesapeake Bay has long been the life blood of communities on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and historic Easton is no exception. Founded in 1710, Easton stands out for its stately colonial architecture and quiet charm, not to mention various Civil War sites, the art deco Avalon Theatre, and the rambling trails of Pickering Creek.
The Digs
Found on the quaint streets of Easton—just steps from the historic district—the award-winning Inn at 202 Dover combines the elegance of the Victorian age with the warm hospitality of the Eastern Shore. With its rich rosewood furnishings and glass-enclosed conservatory, it's no wonder the inn is the only AAA Four Diamond property in the area. Here, accommodations are individually decorated and offer pillow-top mattresses, sitting areas, jetted tubs, and high-speed Internet. Sample the fresh seafood and locally grown produce at the on-site Peacock Restaurant & Lounge, named the 11th most romantic restaurant in America by Destination Travel magazine.
"The inn is carefully and painstakingly restored and is absolutely magnificent in every detail. Peacock restaurant is five-star cuisine (really) with a bit of Eastern shore panache. Elegant and comfortable at the same time."-- TripAdvisor

96 pints of blood collected at Emily blood drive
January is the official National Blood Donor Month, and at the recent Emily area blood drive a steady flow of donors gave 96 pints of blood.
This was the 60th Emily area blood drive in the past 25 years. The total overall number of pints collected at the Emily site has reached 5,553 pints.
One-gallon pins were received by Tim Boyd, Deb Marty, Donald McCormick, Josh Rooker, Lisa Schweitzer and Brenda Wood.
Brian Foster, Will Jones, Darlene Peterson and Heidi Roettger earned their two-gallon pins, while a three-gallon pin was awarded to Shirley Gronholm, Don Hodgman and Bonnie Johnson.
Four-gallon pins went to Joe Datzman and Susan Pusc. Douglas Greseth and Pat Schloesser were presented five-gallon pins for their donation of 40 pints of blood.
Frances Camacho and Grace Werner were awarded six-gallon pins for the 48 pints that they each have donated over the past years.
Door prize gift certificates, donated by Robin Fish, massage therapist, went to Dennis Lamke, Kaye Camacho, Marg Moritz, Nichole Kesller, Stephanie Bright and Deb Marty.

Been looking at pulling the trigger on the Kumo and I've been interested to see if someone can convince me otherwise. Now that it's been on the market for around a year (I think) can any owners of the Kumo give me their impressions?
The search function isn't revealing too much feedback of overall performance quite yet.
Thanks!Jan 25, 2013 at 3:13 pm #1947267

Small, frameless backpack. It will carry like any other small, frameless backpack.
As such, I would focus on the feature set v.s. price point. It would seem to me that the ULA CDT is a better buy.Jan 25, 2013 at 3:26 pm #1947269

@janosmLocale: phinney ridge
I bought it as my long weekend summer pack here in the cascades. I find it to be the perfect size for 3-4 day trips and is very comfortable. The mesh on the large back pocket has taken a beating on some of my off trail rambles but I have patched it up with a little t-tape. Overall, without owning another pack of its size to compare to, I have really liked this pack. I actually use it every day to walk and or run to and from work — couple miles each way.
My 2 cents.Jan 25, 2013 at 4:03 pm #1947278
Do you have the Kumo?
I feel like the CDT is way more than what I need as far as features, capacity and total weight go. There are some things that I really like about the CDT, others not. It certainly seems like a do all pack, but that isn't what I'm looking for.
Having said that, It would be a way tougher decision if ULA had a smaller version of the CDT.Jan 25, 2013 at 4:04 pm #1947280

Guthook used a Kumo on his through-hike of the Long Trail this past summer & provided a good review of it afterwards.
Personally, I have the MLD Burn and absolutely love it for 3 season use (my kit decreased in size & weight and I found so much empty space in my Jam I wanted a smaller replacement). Although I do LOVE the Burn, the top cover closure & exterior pad area on the back panel of the Kumo make me almost question my choice. However, I've had enough great experiences that I won't look for a change at this point.Jan 26, 2013 at 4:11 am #1947372

Thanks, Russ. I was going to mention there are several rather impartial reviews out there. Some, of course, are from affiliated trail ambasadors. Google returns at least a half dozen.
I have one on "order" from Gossamer Gear ((Febuary someting as part of the new batch.) I normally use a Murmmur, since it is a whole lot lighter, more than 5oz. Last year I beat the snot out of mine logging close to 50 nights with it. Overloaded more than 50% of the time, I found some serious weaknesses that I have been communicating to GG.
Many have been complaining about slipping buckles. This HAS been addressed by Grant, et al. This was by far the most serious problem.
I have used a 3 piece nightlite pad as a frame. I prefer the longer (52") 5 piece fanfolded Nightlite pads. Unfortunatly, GG no longer offers the longer pad, but Nunatak does as the Luna pad. Note that GG often lost money when people only ordered a pad due to the shipping. Anyway, with the 5 piece pad you can easily carry a load of 25 pounds. I did so with the Murmur regularly, despite the smaller hip belt and lighter padding on the shoulders. A good example was a couple week trip along the NPT and into the High Peaks area in late August.
It IS large enough to fit a sleeping bag, bear ball (with food), my jacket, sleeping cloths and socks, my cooking kit and tarp. Camera, log, raingear, fishing gear all went into the larger outside front pouch. The two pockets, of course, were dedicated to water/drinks. This 15 pound kit went into the High Peaks area of NY for 4 nights (and 7 peaks.) This was in September soo I was carrying my larger sleeping bag.
I missed the internal hydration sleeve that the Kumo has. This is an excellent add on and well worth the weight. The over the top closure was real good for keeping rain out of the pack. In June I spent several weeks on a canoe trip…at least 5 days were raining…HARD.
The map case? Well, I just fold up a map in a baggie and stick it in my pocket. I use it too much to keep it in the pack. I don't see much use for it.
The extra durability of the heavier fabrics would have been nice doing some bushwacking in July/early August. I was a but more carefull that was strickly necessary climbing through blowdowns.Jan 26, 2013 at 10:02 am #1947438
I haven't used it, but the Kumo looks like a sweet little pack. Durable, simple and light. I like how the hipbelt is removable, because I wouldn't use it. To me, a frameless pack is sweet for those sub 20 lbs 1-4 day trips and on trips like these I much prefer the freedom of no hipbelt.
I'd ditch the bladder sleeve and most of the shockcord too and wind up with a nice simple 12-13oz pack.Jan 27, 2013 at 8:12 am #1947623
Thanks for the links. I've gotten so used to hitting the search option on BPL for gear reviews, as opposed to going the google route. Going google usually leads me right back to BPL more often times than not :)
The MLD Burn was and still is a strong second option. I really like the look of the top closure system of the Burn as opposed to the ULA, but it looks like to me that the Kumo has them both beat with the design. I also like the the pack material used as I tend to go off trail and my pack takes abuse often.
This will be my first "framless" pack and I have some reservations about diving in head first so I like what Gossamer Gear is doing with the removable SitLight pad on the exterior.
Do you have any idea what the "new" batch of packs come February will look like?
I like organizational pockets on the outside of my pack so I'll most likely add on a few for my "go-to" items.
Thanks for the comments. Your opinions are always appreciated.Jan 27, 2013 at 10:14 am #1947655
I'll divulge a bit more because I've actually been thinking a lot lately about adding a simple frameless pack to my quiver.
I think what keeps me coming back to the Kumo is the aesthetic. The whole pack has a beautiful cohesive design that achieves its lightweight through smart design rather than flimsy fabrics. I like the sitpad area design and those cord buckles are awesome. For comparison, the ULA CDT is 50% heavier (21oz vs 14oz) largely because ULA added an overkill hipbelt (IMO) for a frameless ruck.
My suspected dislikes of the Kumo are the flat mounted shoulder straps and the lack of waterproof fabric. Some reviews have commented on the former, and since I'd plan on carrying all the weight on my shoulders I'm nervous about anything that might hinder an optimum fit. Almost all packs sew on the shoulder straps at an angle to match the downward angle of a persons shoulders. Could be a non-issue though.
GG's 140D Dyneema G fabric is handsome, durable and supposedly has a wonderful feel, but having a truly waterproof pack material is an epiphany. When it's cold and rainy, there are enough extra hassles to deal with without needing to worry about pack liners/covers. The slate or tan cuben/hybrid fabric that Zpacks is using for some packs won't have as nice of a hand as GG's 140D, but it's waterproof. If I hiked in the desert southwest I'd prefer GG's 140D, but in the wetter locales where I hike I really prefer a waterproof fabric with a roll top closure.
Thus right now my favorite option for a frameless ruck is a cuben/hybrid Zpacks Zero with custom options to suit my style. Zpacks also has the option to add sleeves for a Sitlight pad if you prefer, and they'll do whatever options/features you like. I think the GG packs have a nicer aesthetic and refinement, but Zpacks scores highest for functionality.
So my choice right now would be a size small cuben/nylon Zpacks Zero with:
– Dual side pockets
– Rear center pocket (hmm….mesh or hybrid cuben?)
– Roll top closure
– Some side/top straps for external gear
It comes in around 8-9oz and $150.Jan 27, 2013 at 10:38 am #1947664

Well Dan, the CDT has a belt which allows it to carry more so perhaps a belt less CDT should be compared. A quick call to ULA gets you that very pack. In addition, the CDT has options that don't exist with the Kumo, and which are removable reducing the weight of the CDT to 15.8 oz and that is with the belt. You make it sound as if the Kumo is made of Unobtanium to create its amazing lightness.Jan 27, 2013 at 8:12 pm #1947842
Good point about the removables. The CDT is much closer in weight than I thought.
Unfortunately I really ought to be buying a bigger pack right now for some longer trips coming up. Ohm doesn't so much cut it at +40 lbs. Maybe a porter….

I would have given it to Weaver and Poje over P/B. I got on W/P bandwagon a few years ago just noting talent. After Olys, everyone will be on their bandwagon. JMO.
What was interesting was P/B's use of American country music, and it was Blue Grass - not all that CMA stuff. Skating to American folk music is always risky. Not sure if P/B just copied it from Hollywood movie scenes which were never authentic according to the blue grass people. That George Clooney movie demonstrated blue grass very well.
Anyhow happy that W&P are beginning to be recognized.
There's always this debate between "clean" versus "mistakes and higher level skating" always, in cases like this. IMO V/M's edge depth and speed even today are extraordinary versus the field at SC.
If P/B had skated stronger overall (not just clean) IMO they would have a better case for the scores to be closer but it was really not cohesive.
Weaver and Poje need more strength in their skating. The program kicks a$$ and it's all there in the structure, but the actual skating is kind of flamenco lite.
Just .02. I'm not saying V/M were 60 but I don't know about P/B's score either. If their compatriots were here, maybe they wouldn't have gotten 56 or 55, whatever they got, and maybe because they did, V/M had to get 60 for a lesser (for them) effort.
Scout like you I had been thinking that the judges were marking the skaters in comparison to the fields they are skating in so I still wasn't worried about B&A. However, IMO while there is a huge drop off in skating skills between V&M and the rest of skaters from S&B/W&P down the list, P&B (IMO) are good enough to beat a horrible performance by V&M. Maybe there is something to the comments that the judges aren't even going to give B&A a fair shot at the olympic gold. Perhaps not even a medal.
For the record V&M are one of my favorite teams.
Dyan, there weren't two falls in the sense that there were two deductions. Neither stumble counted as a fall. But the stumbles were noteworthy enough that if Moir hadn't been supporting her, she would have fallen. I remember Brodeur/Mattatal having a spin that went awry like that and they counted it as a fall (his support was necessary in the specific position they were in). I thought that would've happened here. It didn't. Because neither stumble was on an element, the TES were unaffected, but they were considerably gifted in the PCS. It was a disappointing performance, no doubt, but their marks were even moreso.
ImaginaryPogue, thanks. I haven't seen the OD's and don't usually comment before I have seen them but it threw me a little when I saw people refer to "falls" in their posts. I took that to mean that Tessa actually was down on the ice twice.
IMO P&B's skating skills have improved a lot over the past few years and while V&M are still superior skaters overall I do believe because of V&M's issues today the gap between them and P&B could have been closer even if P&B didn't outright win the OD.
I've been checking the schedules but is Universal airing any of the dance competition? From what I saw it doesn't seem so which is a shame as I would have liked to get V&M's, P&B's and W&P's FD's on tape.
i can't wait to see the protocols for V/M's twizzles and the footworks
good acting.
where is this team from? They looked like they just moved up from junior. Does anyone know!
P/B's skating skills may have improved a lot but it didn't show today and I believe there was still a marked gap between them and V/M despite V/M's stumbles. P/B's skating was not strong today - not as good as at TEB, IMO.IMO P&B's skating skills have improved a lot over the past few years and while V&M are still superior skaters overall I do believe because of V&M's issues today the gap between them and P&B could have been closer even if P&B didn't outright win the OD.

Sometimes, the road is less traveled for a reason. And then there are roads heavily traveled — by horse-drawn vehicles.
Such roads show two sets of parallel grooves: the standard rutting caused by cars and trucks, and a more exotic pattern left by horses pulling buggies with rubber- or steel-rimmed wheels.
The bulk of the damage is made by welded spikes located on horseshoes that "literally pluck aggregate out of the asphalt," says Greg Gurney, Ohio DOT's (ODOT) District 11 planning administrator. The district includes Holmes County, home to 41,445 residents — 40% of whom are Amish. Many county routes have 3- to 4-foot-wide shoulders to accommodate buggies. But the extra shoulder width isn't always enough for the buggies — which need at least 6 feet to be comfortable and 8 feet to feel safe — so some damage to both the shoulder and the road is inevitable.
While most of the state's roads last up to a decade between resurfacings, these roads are resurfaced every four to five years.
In another state with a high Amish population, the Pennsylvania DOT (PennDOT) also makes special provisions to accommodate horse and buggies.
"In some areas, especially Lancaster County, we widen the shoulders to at least 4 feet so they can travel on the shoulder as much as possible," says PennDOT Spokeswoman Alison Wenger. The department posts horse-drawn vehicle warning signs along roads, and requires buggies to display slow-moving vehicle emblems for safety purposes.
Most road repair in the nation is funded through gas taxes. According to studies done by The Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College, Pa., the Amish pay state, federal, sales, and property taxes. But because these revenues typically aren't applied to road repair, and because the Amish don't drive automobiles, constituents outside the Amish community (called "English" by the Amish) sometimes raise concerns about funding equities.
To offset the gap in Ohio, the Holmes County Amish Steering Committee routinely donates to a maintenance fund that helps pay for resurfacing work on a 4-mile stretch of state road routinely accessed by members of their community. The committee has contributed three times since 2005, with the most recent donation of $109,557 made in September. The donations are in accordance with a section of the Ohio Revised Code, which states that any organization, group, or individual may give money to ODOT to pay expenses incurred in maintaining, repairing, or reconstructing state roads on which animal-drawn vehicles travel.
In Pennsylvania's Lancaster County, the Amish don't directly contribute to road repairs. "But we get far more than we have to pay from having them in our community," says Dennis Groff of Lancaster County's Planning Commission. "The businesses they run are some of the best, and if you need a hand they're always there to help out. You can't ask for more than that."
According to ODOT Public Information Officer Becky McCarty, the department has learned a lot about options for repairs and expansions by cooperating with the Amish community. "Sometimes, we think we have to go around [the Amish community] to build a new road," she says. "But it turns out, the Amish usually want to travel to the same places as us.
"They are very good partners for transportation."

This complementary display to the William Orpen retrospective in the Millennium Wing consisted of 90 items selected from the Gallery's collection of 366 sheets presented by Vivien Graves (daughter of Mrs St. George) in 1974. It comprised fragmentary illustrated letters and drawings which William Orpen sent his lover, Mrs Evelyn St. George, over a period of some fifteen years. The exhibition in the Print Gallery also included 13 of the artist's war drawings on loan from the Imperial War Museum.
Many of these letters, or more accurately, informal notes, were illustrated with quirky, humorous sketches. They gave a rounded picture of a complex and sensitive man, charming, warm and affectionate yet plagued by self-doubt, bouts of depression and ill-health. The illustrations focused on various aspects of Orpen's private and public life and included the following sections in the display: Orpen as Society Artist; Friends and Acquaintances; Self-Portraits; Mrs St. George; Orpen goes to War, and Humour in Hell.

About the Book
Prague Winter, the enhanced e-book edition, gives readers exclusive access to ten video interviews and one audio clip with Madeleine Albright. In the enhanced e-book Albright reveals how this book is different from any other she's written and pores over personal photos, family documents, and even a Slovak costume that she wore as a young girl to tell you the stories that bring these artifacts to life.
Before Madeleine Albright turned twelve, her life was shaken by the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia—the country where she was born—the Battle of Britain, the near total destruction of European Jewry, the Allied victory in World War II, the rise of communism, and the onset of the Cold War.
Albright's experiences, and those of her family, provide a lens through which to view the most tumultuous dozen years in modern history. Drawing on her memory, her parents' written reflections, interviews with contemporaries, and newly available documents, Albright recounts a tale that is by turns harrowing and inspiring. Prague Winter is an exploration of the past with timeless dilemmas in mind and, simultaneously, a journey with universal lessons that is intensely personal.
The book takes readers from the Bohemian capital's thousand-year-old castle to the bomb shelters of London, from the desolate prison ghetto of Terezín to the highest councils of European and American government. Albright reflects on her discovery of her family's Jewish heritage many decades after the war, on her Czech homeland's tangled history, and on the stark moral choices faced by her parents and their generation. Often relying on eyewitness descriptions, she tells the story of how millions of ordinary citizens were ripped from familiar surroundings and forced into new roles as exiled leaders and freedom fighters, resistance organizers and collaborators, victims and killers. These events of enormous complexity are nevertheless shaped by concepts familiar to any growing child: fear, trust, adaptation, the search for identity, the pressure to conform, the quest for independence, and the difference between right and wrong.
"No one who lived through the years of 1937 to 1948," Albright writes, "was a stranger to profound sadness. Millions of innocents did not survive, and their deaths must never be forgotten. Today we lack the power to reclaim lost lives, but we have a duty to learn all that we can about what happened and why." At once a deeply personal memoir and an incisive work of history, Prague Winter serves as a guide to the future through the lessons of the past—as seen through the eyes of one of the international community's most respected and fascinating figures.
Please note that due to the large file size of these special features this enhanced e-book may take longer to download then a standard e-book.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A gripping account of World War II. . . . In taut prose, Albright weaves a powerful narrative that wraps her family's story into the larger political drama unfolding in Europe." — The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Albright has supplemented a deeply researched history of World War II-era Czechoslovakia with a moving family narrative." — The Daily
"Prague Winter is not only a family story-a proud and moving one-but a brilliant and multilayered account of how Czechoslovakia was formed along the most idealistic lines in the aftermath of World War I. An altogether fascinating and inspiring read." — Michael Korda, The Daily Beast
"Showing us villainy, heroism, and agonizing moral dilemmas, Albright's vivid storytelling and measured analysis bring this tragic era to life." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A genuinely admirable book. Albright skillfully returns us to some of the darkest years of modern times. Spring eventually came to Prague, but in much of the world it is still winter. The love of democracy fills every one of these instructive and stirring pages." — Leon Wieseltier
"I was totally blown away by this book. It is a breathtaking combination of the historical and the personal. Albright confronts the brutal realities of the Holocaust and the conflicted moral choices it led to. An unforgettable tale of fascism and communism, courage and realism, families and heartache and love. — Walter Isaacson
"A remarkable story of adventure and passion, tragedy and courage set against the backdrop of occupied Czechoslovakia and World War II. Albright provides fresh insights into the events that shaped her career and challenges us to think deeply about the moral dilemmas that arise in our own lives." — Vaclav Havel
"A riveting tale of her family's experience in Europe during World War II [and] a well-wrought political history of the region, told with great authority. . . . More than a memoir, this is a book of facts and action." — The Los Angeles Times
"A compelling personal exploration of [Albright's] family's Jewish roots as well as an excellent history of Czechoslovakia from 1937 to 1948. . . . Highly informative and insightful. . . . I can't recommend Prague Winter highly enough." — The Washington Post Book World
"In the crowded field of memoirs written by former secretaries of state, Madeleine Albright's books stand out. . . . Albright is a charming and entertaining storyteller." — The New York Review of Books
"Albright's book is a sprightly historical narrative of this long decade. . . . Her account of the destruction of inter-war Czechoslovakia, both as a geographical entity and as an idea of democracy, first by the Nazis and then by the Communists, is balanced and vivid." — The Economist
"A blend of history and memoir that reveals in rich, poignant and often heartbreaking detail a story that had been hidden from her by her own parents. . . . The beating heart of the book is Albright's searing account of her intimate family saga." — The Jewish Journal
"An extraordinary book. . . . Albright artfully presents a wrenching tale of horror and darkness, but also one in which decent and brave people again and again had their say." — István Deák, The New Republic

Reviews of this property
The owner was very kindly and helpful. Unfortunately many things in the apartment were really not nice: e.g. the cooking plats were rusty, the ice-door in the fridge was away, the ovens were dirty and the soap holder in the shower was on the floor (pictures on demand).
Robert and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Suzette was a lovely hostess and was very helpful in so many ways. We appreciated her hospitality and look forward to returning one day.
The name of the apartments absolutely promises not too much. The view from the terrace of the Atlantic Ocean is gorgeous. Accommodation is simply decorated and the kitchen well equipped. It should be emphasized that the accommodation is cleaned every day by a cleaning woman, and thus is always clean when you come back from a long day in Cape Town. For a hostess think of nothing but positive. Suzette is very accommodating and have a conversation with a glass of South African wine.
If it would slyly us again to Cape Town, we would love to stay there again in Muizenberg in Suzette.
Der Name des Apartments verspricht absolut nicht zu viel. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf den Atlantik ist traumhaft. Die Unterkunft ist schlicht gehalten, die Küche gut ausgestattet. Hervorzuheben ist, dass die Unterkunft jeden Tag von einer Putzfrau gereinigt wird und damit immer sauber ist, wenn man von einem langen Tag in Cape Town wiederkommt. Zur Gastgeberin fällt einem nur positives ein. Suzette ist sehr zuvorkommend und auch für ein Gespräch mit einem Gläschen südafrikanischen Wein zu haben.
Wenn es uns nochmals nach Cape Town verschlagen würde, würden wir sehr gerne wieder in Muizenberg bei Suzette wohnen.
A really beautiful place with a beautiful view and a very kind hostess. We really enjoyed our stay at Suzette's place. Close to a beautiful beach with a small boulevard and nice restaurants with also amazing views over the ocean and mountains. Its also perfect to explore the Cape from Muizenberg by car or train just 5 min walk from Heavenly view. Short said...Our stay was just Heavenly!Thanks Suzette, we definitely come back and see some more waves rolling in on the beach. Peter and Maartje
Although we did not have great luck with the weather, we enjoyed our time in Muizenberg!
Good starting point for exploring the area, Suzette has also not given us a few good tips.
Unfortunately it smelled pretty musty in all closets, the humidity is just already a problem in the small Apartment..ansonsten lovingly decorated!
Auch wenn wir kein großes Glück mit dem Wetter hatten, haben wir unsere Zeit in Muizenberg genossen!
Guter Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der Gegend, Suzette hat uns zudem noch ein paar gute Tipps gegeben.
Leider roch es recht modrig in allen Schränken, die Feuchtigkeit ist halt schon ein Problem bei dem kleinen Apartment..ansonsten liebevoll eingerichtet!
Everything as expected, and our host Suzette is super proffesional, very attentive and helpful when needed. Muizenberg is a good base for a stay in Cape Town area. The local sandy beach is great. Good shopping nearby.
What a wondelfull place in Cape Town!! Especially with such a friendly host as Suzette! She gives you a very warm welcome. We hope to come back again one day. Highly recommended to others :-)
Suzette, our hostess, was charming and the accommodation is comfortable. The location is great, overlooking the sea, close to one of the best surfing beaches, and hiking into Silvermine Nature Reserve, just behind the property, is amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back.
Suzette is a wonderful person and we loved her place , lovely room and a beutiful garden. we loved our short stay at this place and we´ll absolutely recommend this place to all future tourists in Cape Town. We will definetly come back to this wonderful place. Carsten and Karin.

Hey, Michelle used that on The Factor tonight!
LegendHasIt on April 30, 2007 at 8:07 PM
What a night, Michelle this hour and on H & C is an interview with Fred! the very nest hour. Take the phone off the hook….check. Popcorn….check. Turn volume up to tick off the left-wingers next door….check.
P. James Moriarty on April 30, 2007 at 8:07 PM
So Mike, Tenet was involved with the worst intelligence failure in US history resulting in the death of 3,000 innocent people and billions in economic damage and then went on to totally screw up the intelligence on Iraq. Can you tell us why in light of those historic failures you think Tenet did a good job?
TheBigOldDog on April 30, 2007 at 8:12 PM
The entire office is watching! So far so good (no surprise there).
She looks very comfortable in that chair…
Zorro on April 30, 2007 at 8:20 PM
i see bill oreilly?
lorien1973 on April 30, 2007 at 8:25 PM
Old Dog-
Come on…let's just say for the moment that we knew exactly where Mr. Atta and his crew were. Had he swept in and scarfed them up on September 10, how long would they be in custody for? What had they done wrong exactly? So they had some "crazy ideas"…had they acted on them? Remember, this was in the day when EVERYTHING was treated as a CRIME(WTC 1, USS Cole, OK City bombing). You don't defend against Crime…you clean up the mess and grab the perps. Had he swept them up and kept them in a safe house somewhere and the NYCrimes got a hold of it, who would be blamed? DING DING DING…yep…the President would have been called everything but a milk cow…again. September 11 was pretty much destined to happen when we walked out of Lebanon (barracks bombing) and Somalia (Blackhawk Down incident). We were viewed as weak and the barbarians were going to exploit it…again.
As for the Iraq WMD intel…I'll agree(for the purposes of this discussion) that it was screwed up. The intelligence business isn't perfect and mistakes happen. If we are going to demand perfection from the intel community then we will never see another NIE because no one is going to stick their neck out on a hunch assessment. The US was wrong on the data right along with Britain, Israel, Russia, and Germany. Those five countries are the best intelligence services in the world…and they made a collective mistake.
n/m taped interview, i guess

DAMMIT, I missed the first 29 minutes, at least this go-around. For those that were like me and didn't have their feed readers go nuts within the 10-minute warning we should have gotten, The Malkin Factor repeats at 11 Eastern/10 Central.
Nothing like watching The Lady In Red destroy a faux Revrund.
Pastor Coleman appears to have caught the Pelosi blinking Disease.
Didn't I read somewhere that rapid blinking during a discussion means that even you don't believe what you are saying.
LegendHasIt on April 30, 2007 at 8:33 PM
Oh good KO gets beat (again) by the Malkin Factor.
mlong on April 30, 2007 at 8:41 PM
, how long would they be in custody for?
Who cares? The attack would have been thwarted. That's what's important. The "punishment" is completely secondary. The fact is, by his own admission, he failed to connect the dots. He also failed to Kill UBL on at least 2 occasions which would have also likely caused 9/11 to be thwarted. He drew the big check he deserves take the responsibility for his failures.
f we are going to demand perfection from the intel community then we will never see another NIE because no one is going to stick their neck out on a hunch assessment.
Perfection? How about being at least 5% right? How about being a man and stop blaming other people for your failures and take responsibility? People can at least respect that.
TheBigOldDog on April 30, 2007 at 8:42 PM
What is up with Juan Williams lately? He has seemeed to quite rational fairly often. Britt Hume finally slapped some sense in him?
And to be really snarky…. KP really needs to have some teeth whitening treatments.
LegendHasIt on April 30, 2007 at 8:43 PM
The Rev Coleman is one of the growing number of clergy who are more that willing to disregard American law for the sake of ILLEGAL aliens. Notice the key words "Civil disobedience."
It seems like the clergy mix Christianity with Marxisn and Anarchy nowadays. Indeed, it seems like they favor the end of American Sovereignity. By favoring, illegal alien activity, that is an insult to those who have came to America LEGALLY!
The President of Mexico has stated (and I am paraphrasing)that Mexico goes beyond its borders and where ever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico!
Extraterritoriality, Senior Presidente?
Oh, BTW-Rev. Coleman…If I do not make a donation to your church by placing money in the collection plate…would that be considered and approved of as an ACT OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE?
Just wondering…..
The False Dervish on April 30, 2007 at 8:47 PM
Was that the same Juan Williams that just about cried on air when President Bush was re-elected?
I think Juan and KP knew that if they tried to spin anything, our Michelle would have "punked" them in front of a very large audience.
Note to Bill O. Great choice picking MM to fill in, you know what your viewers like…….

OUCH!The fact that Perl wasn't there….but it could have just been a faulty memory. HA! It's ok, he's BOOOOSH's enemy now.
When did Kendall change her name to Kelly? Did she get married? I didn't see a ring on that finger…excuse my ignorance on this subject. Those two talking about massages and se….uuuh, I won't go there….Thanx for Google..She is 100% single now! WOO HOO!
Dang…got a phone call during the whole next segment.

Pretty sad when you get the first thing in your book dead wrong and it's easily provable, being the former head of "intelligence" and all. That's not the only fact he's been reported as having gotten dead wrong and the books been out for a like a day…

He's wandered of the liberal plantation, and it's just a matter of time before they start calling him the same kind of names as they do Condi. Well, not quite the same, but you know what I mean.
The Fox liberals just aren't the completely unhinged variety – look at KP, Bob Beckel, E. D. Hill (who is more of a Lieberman liberal), Lis Wiehl, even partisans like Colmes and Estrich don't seem as wacky after you've spent some time watching the Spew or reading Kossack diaries.

The Boss does such a great job filling in for Mr. O. Now, if we could just get Megan to join the ladies of the Vent, that would be a winner for sure. Hey, instead of The Factor the Boss's new show could be called The Vent with Michelle Malkin. Yeh, that's the ticket…the perfect answer to The View. Move over Baba Wawa. Here comes Michelle!

Although I think Michelle would make a good host, I winced when she asked her first guest a blatantly loaded question. Leave the loaded questions to Alan Colmes.

Scuffling with Gypsies
Trip Start Jul 11, 2005
62Trip End Apr 04, 2006
The grand tour is just the inspired man's way of heading home
- Paul Theroux
Getting Somewhere Is Indeed Half The Fun
You may recall from the Krakow entry that there were very few options for getting from there to Prague. The only way was via overnight train, and with the cheapest berth, a seat, on that train costing a crazy €45 we didn't really have much of an option for our class of berth either. But that's okay because, as it turned out, the train was almost empty and we ended up getting a closed compartment, one which typically seats 6, all to ourselves. Again, I doubt we'd be as lucky during the busier summer months, when one might even have problems acquiring a seat berth. Anyway, we were happier than pigs in, well you know what, because with the whole compartment to ourselves we were able to lie across the seats and get some semblance of a nights sleep. It wasn't the most comfortable nights sleep ever but it was more than we were expecting. Plus, sharing an overnight train carriage once again brought us back a few months to our train trips in China, Mongolia and Russia. A fitting end to our overnight trips.
"Hey Crackhead, You Wanna Bit Of Me?"
So we got to Prague well rested. That was a good thing because we found ourselves walking through Prague train station at 7am and my flight wasn't until 8:15pm that evening. Plenty of time to look around and more than enough time, as it turned out, for trouble to find us. Walking across the train station arrivals hall we were approached by an overly friendly local bumming a cigarette. We, being the healthy conscious young men we are, didn't have one to give him, a pretty straightforward response he seemed to have difficulty understanding. This changed his tone which then turned aggressive, leading to a small scuffle between him and I. It could have been worse, I guess, but it was basically harmless, handbag stuff. We were eventually separated by a passer-by (yeah, I was wondering what Henk was up to as well) who informed us that he was more than likely a crackhead gypsy and we'd best leave before any hint of crackhead backup arrived. Fine by us. We had a city to explore.
Prague Proper
And oh, what a city it is. Sitting right in the centre of mainland Europe, Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has a unique charm that draws tons and tons of tourists each year. Guidebooks wax lyrical about its magic. They have done so for decades, but especially since January 1st 1993 when the old Czechoslovakia ceased to exist and it split into present day Slovakia (to the east) and the Czech Republic. And for good reason. It's a golden, mystical city, full of cobbled streets, riverside parks and wonderful architecture of all types. It's my second time in the city, having first visited way back in August 1999. I remember commenting then on how beautiful the city was, how cheap it is and how busy its streets are. Today the city is still equally beautiful, not quite as cheap and, no doubt, just as busy, if not busier. I say no doubt because this time of year is not prime tourist season and although tourists were evident on the day we were in town I suspect it was nowhere as busy as it would be during the prime tourist months of the summer. Make no mistake; above all the beauty Prague is, unfortunately, a bit of a tourist trap, and I was glad to see the city during a relative quiet time, if only because I know how crazy it can be.
After finding a hostel for the Henkster we spent the day, as any tourist would, walking around central Prague, by far the best way to see it. Under glorious sunny skies we walked from Old Town Square, east of the Vltava River, to the castle district on the west bank. Again, and I'll be saying this for the last time, check out the pictures for the complete story. It doesn't take long walking the streets of Prague to notice how impeccably preserved all its fancy buildings are. While all of the previous Old Town boasting cities we visited (Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius , Warsaw & Krakow) all had their well preserved 'areas', the whole of central Prague is so well preserved and so nicely presented that one could be forgiven for thinking the whole city has recently been reopened after a huge face lift. A lot of the reason for its present condition has to do with the fact that the city escaped World War II with minimum damage and today the only damage the city is liable to suffer is as a result of the hordes of tourists who tramp around its streets each year.
The End. For Now
The Henkster and I were good not to leave our mark on the city and eventually we parted company with the ceremonial book-passing in the basement of Prague train station. Very few were on hand to witness the occasion. Actually, only two were on hand - Henk and I. But it was purely ceremonial as the trip doesn't end here. Nope. Let's just say we're taking a break. That's because myself and the Henkster have plans to reacquaint in a few weeks time in Ireland. I'm loving the fact that Henk will have the honour of being the first of the many people I have met on my travels to be treated to some real Irish hospitality as I show him around my homeland. But in the meantime I have to go home to catch up with family and friends, organize my upcoming return to Canada and entertain my gorgeous girlfriend Meg, the one I haven't seen since leaving Canada for South Korea in December. She's visiting for a few days during her March spring break. So I'll be busy for the foreseeable future. As for the Henkster. Well, the World, or at least central Europe, is his oyster. He plans to travel around for a bit before getting the flight to Ireland, the one he still has to buy. But I know he won't let me down. What this all means is that this Travelogue isn't quite done yet. While my trip proper might be ending here, there will still be Henk's time in Ireland to report on and who know what else. I hope you don't mind? For now however I will bow out quietly as I bid this trip, and the Henkster, adieu. I've got a flight to catch. And gypsies to avoid.

Coined in the 19th century by the Scottish engineer and physicist William Rankine, the term ′potential energy′ denotes a set of forces acting upon a body at a specified point in space. It is measured in Joules, the SI unit of energy, which is work done or heat generated in an observed system. Work is the effect of a force applied to a body over a distance, creating motion in the direction of that force, and energy is the capacity within a system to carry out work.
A more formal definition is that potential energy is the difference between the energy of a body in motion, measured at a given point in its trajectory, and the energy level at a designated reference point. This is its zero point. For example the gravitational potential energy of a body is calibrated against ground level zero. The elastic potential energy is calibrated against a system′s state of equilibrium, or zero energy. Such a system is a set of vectors, also called a ′force field′, so that each measurement can be regarded as a freeze-frame of a body′s motion within the paradigm of the force field.
Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in a system due to stretching or compression. A spring is an example of such a system.
Electrical potential energy is the energy generated by the arrangement of charged points in a system. It is due to the intrinsic electrical charge of a body or its position relative to other bodies carrying an electrical charge.
Chemical potential energy is a function of the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules in a body or within a chemical reaction.
Nuclear potential energy is the strong nuclear force, which holds an atom′s nucleus together, binding protons and neutrons and in turn binding the quarks that create them; or it is the weak nuclear force, which is caused by the emission of bosons and is responsible for radioactive decay and nuclear fusion.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in a body by dint of its position in relation to the earth, whose force of attraction, or gravitational pull, causes that body to fall.
Intermolecular potential energy is that force of attraction and repulsion acting between immediately nearby particles. These particles may be atoms, ions or molecules.

Third Eye Blind and Kid Cudi to perform at Binghamton University
Third Eye Blind and Kid Cudi will perform as dual-headliners at 7 p.m. Sunday, October 11, in the Binghamton University Events Center.
San Francisco-based Third Eye Blind won Billboard's Modern Rock Track of the Year with the 1997 single "Semi-Charmed Life." Their debut self-titled album also featured the hits "How's It Going To Be," "Jumper," and "Graduate." Their latest album, "Ursa Major," was released August 17 and features "Bonfire" and "Summer Town."
Kid Cudi is a Brooklyn-based rapper from Cleveland whose debut single, "Day 'n' Nite," became an online favorite in 2008 and won an Urban Music award for Best Single 2009. He was named to Rolling Stone's list of Top Five best indie hip-hop artists of 2008. His latest album, "Man On the Moon: The End of Day" is due in stores September 15.
According to Aaron Cohn, student association vice president for programming, "It is a unique concert because we are pairing two different genres of music, yet both acts have much in common. Both play a fun show, push the boundaries of their genre, and have widely acclaimed brand new albums. At the same time, the Student Association Programming Board hopes to satisfy two different crowds with a rock band people have loved for years, paired with an up-and-coming rapper that so many have compared to his mentor/co-producer, Kanye West."
Tickets will be available Tuesday, September 15, at http://sa.binghamton.edu and in person at the SA Box Office (located above the Susquehanna Room). Tickets may also be purchased at the Events Center Box Office beginning Monday, September 21. Tickets to the event are $20 for students and $29 for the public. Additional Events Center fees are $2 for undergraduate students and $3 for the public.
This program is sponsored by the Student Association Programming Board.

There's something very "Downunder" about the service in Queenstown. Waiters, bartenders, receptionists and shopkeepers take that relaxed, "she'll be right", Kiwi attitude to a new high.
There we were at Eichardt's famous hotel, sitting in a stylish pebble garden on large comfy chairs around a table decked out with a thick white cloth, overlooking lovely Lake Wakatipu and munching happily through the excellent wines and tapas menu. Every so often one of us would have to trot inside and ask for more.
"No problem," would be the answer and out the waiters would come, take our next orders, then cheerfully deliver yet more brimming dishes from the kitchen. They even topped up our wine glasses and cleared our finished plates from time to time.
It wouldn't happen in Auckland, where restaurateurs hurry you through, hoping for at least two parties per table over an evening. But in this tourist mecca we were expected to dawdle and it was incredibly relaxing - a little like having a dinner party served by an enthusiastic bunch of your kids' friends.
We started with gazpacho soup, the only tapas on the menu meant for just one person. Each glass of soup was accompanied by a heaped spoonful of finely-chopped herbs, capsicum and tomato, to be stirred into it.
The finished concoction (only $4 each) was delectable: chilled, spicy and fresh, it was the perfect start to what turned out to be an excellent dinner.
Our next orders arrived at once and disappeared almost as quickly. The salt cod croquettes, accompanied by a bright green herby emulsion, went first, followed by the fried haloumi, which arrived bathed in oil, browned to perfection and surrounded by ribbons of raw green and yellow zucchini.
The cheese was quickly polished off and declared light and chewy, just as it should be. The zucchini was so good raw I wonder why we bother to cook it.
By then it was time for another trip to the bar to order a couple of servings of bruschetta with roasted eggplant, tomato and feta and another plate of calamari in squid-ink tempura batter. For most of us the calamari was the high point of the night. We'd never had squid ink tempura, but we all want to have it again. Sure, the fish looked strangely dark when it arrived on the table, but once the batter flaked off and meshed with some of the most tender calamari I've ever tasted, the combination was fabulous. The other high point was the crostini with eggplant and feta.
For Rusty, the roasted pork belly was perfection, although I thought it a little dry and tough on the bottom.The chorizo sausage in tomato sauce with olives, white beans and grilled cornbread was also a knockout, and generous considering the plates (we had two) were only $8.50 each. Then there was the wild game terrine (okay) plus a serve of local jersey bennes, roasted to a golden crisp, then finished with capers and chilli. They also improved our vegetable to meat, fish and cheese ratio to something approaching satisfactory.
So, apart from the marinated olives with crostini and sugared and spiced mixed nuts, we had worked our way through the entire menu. And what a pleasure it was.
By then most of us were snuggling in the blankets cheerfully offered to ward off the chilly wind blowing up from the lake, the gas heater was blaring and we were in the mood for yet more wine and sweets. While the others feasted on chocolate slice and white chocolate mousse, I opted for the Cromwell raspberry and mint granita, which turned out to be the best dairy-free dessert I've had anywhere so far.
In all, it was a memorable night. The food was excellent and the wines, nearly all of them from Central Otago and surrounds, were truly exceptional. And as I said earlier, the service was down-home friendly, no matter how many times we asked for more.
Our meal: $296, including a bottle of chardonnay and seven glasses of various aromatics.
Wine list: A magnificent range of local wines plus a few stunners from abroad.
Verdict: Eichardt's chef has created a symphony of tapas dishes that delight the palate and thrill the senses - at sensible prices - served with relaxed good humour on Queenstown's glorious beach front.
