What are the stars made of?
The Rainbow and the Stars is a short film I wrote and produced about the science of spectroscopy. The film is a labor of love: the product of a lifelong interest in astronomy, and a passion to explain it to the world.
The study of the rainbow, and of optics in general, changed the way we understand the universe and ourselves. Once we believed that the sky was a realm of perfection and magic. Now we understand that we are part of the universe, that there is no real dividing line between Earth and space.
The patterns of coloured light generated by chemical elements — called emission spectra and absorption spectra — revealed that both we and the stars are made of the same stuff. And this discovery just might be the most profound and awe-inspriring discovery in human history.

Rawlison Butler is not a firm that likes to splash its cash. Managing partner Tim Sadka admits that the firm is conservative when it comes to spending, but feels this is a strategy that has served it well. With the economy now looking distinctly volatile, Sadka is keen to stick to this prudent course.
"We've been focusing on productivity and we're not saddled with debt, unlike some firms," says Sadka, who has steered the firm through steady growth, most recently seeing turnover rise to £6.3m – an increase of 19 per cent – in the last financial year.
The firm's work book breaks down into private client (30 per cent), real estate (26 per cent), commercial disputes (16 per cent) and corporate M&A (15 per cent), with employment and commercial & IT accounting for the remainder.
Included in Rawlison Butler's client list is a healthy selection of well-known brands – testament to the firm's ambitions beyond the borders of Sussex.
"We're strong on franchising and employment, which offer obvious opportunities to operate beyond our base," says Sadka. "We do have clients in Gatwick [the firm's HQ], but the emphasis is on the quality of work, not its location."
By targeting and lawyering for national clients, the firm has been able to keep many that have grown in size. This includes Suzuki, which it still looks after despite the company moving to Milton Keynes four years ago. Sadka's "have car, will travel" approach also means clients as far away as the South West and Wales count Rawlison as their firm of choice.
Being debt-free is also an attractive tick in the box for potential merger partners. But despite being contacted several times in the last year, Sadka says he has not seen any opportunities that have encouraged the firm to make the leap. "If the right opportunity comes along we'll look at it, but the main focus is on growing organically and maintaining profitability," he adds.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Groupon for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
Mother's Day will be here before we know it. That day, that celebrates the women who not only gave birth to us, but still loved us after the trials and tribulations of raising us. Of course, we all want to get mom something she will love, that reflects how much we love and appreciate her, but what to get? Those days of picking dandelions from the backyard and proudly presenting the crumpled bunch to mom, like treasures spun from gold are over after all.
As a mom myself, I thought I would share some of the things I'd be thrilled to receive. Maybe something will bring a "My mom would love that too." moment for you. With the help of the Groupon's Mother's Day Gift Shop, we even have some budget stretching wiggle room to assist in the search for the perfect gift for mom.
When the warmth of spring finally breaks through, gardening moms flock to the outdoors. I'm part of that flock. I was quite surprised to see the lovely array of garden related gifts in the Groupon's Mother's Day Gift Shop. I picked three items that particularly appealed to me, a succulent garden in a reclaimed wood box, an adorable birdhouse, and an easy roll-out lavender garden. Now while none of these choices take much work, getting the yard and garden ready for the summer season, while fun, can be exhausting. That is where my next picks come in….
Being spoiled with a spa treatment gift would be wonderful, especially this time of year. What mom wouldn't adore getting those sore muscles relaxed, her skin refreshed for summer, or a manicure to look her best. With the large discounts from Groupon, they are quite affordable.
While I obviously enjoy cooking, sometimes it is so nice to just sit back and be served a fine meal, with no thoughts of doing dishes and kitchen clean-up after. A gift certificate for sushi would be awesome.
While I'm selecting Mother's Day gifts I would like, I may as well toss in some wine to enjoy in the garden after all my hard work is done. I found these custom engraved bottles of wine, and think they are simply fantastic. What a great way to treat mom, and show her she is special. There are also wine club memberships, and custom wine glasses available on the site at deep discount. Those are my favorite Mother's Day Gifts from the Groupon's Mother's Day Gift Shop, but their are so many more. There are activities such as art classes, horseback riding, kayaking and cooking classes. There are also deals on jewelry, clothing, tech products and much more. Something great for your mom can definitely be found there.

The next morning, Gold hurried to Ruby's place, not being able to wait any more longer to see the elegant cat.
The window was closed, like he figured it would be considering what happened yesterday.
He knocked it. Ruby appeared before it soon, rubbing one eye. He shocked once seeing Gold waving at him with a dumb grin plastered on his face. He opened the window, and before Gold knew it, he laid on the ground with Ruby's hands around his neck.
"You! I'm so going to kill you!" Ruby hissed. Gold laughed it away. "Ahh... that violent side is so cute." He said. Ruby jumped up.
"Get lost!" The scarlet eyed cat pointed at the open window. "But you let me in." Gold stated, blinking with his eyes. Ruby's cheeks turned a color brighter. "Th-That doesn't matter! Get out!"
Gold smirked wide. "Can it be that you're starting to like me?" He asked, wriggling closer to the other feline. "No!"
"How mean..."
"Really, how can you live with yourself? You wander streets, get dirty as you go, you have to steal your food to stay alive and you don't even care what people say about you! Really, you wouldn't even notice if you would get hit by..." Ruby blinked with his eyes. "Actually, that would be a good thing." He said. "Whaaaaat?!" Gold exclaimed shocked, knowing what the elegant feline meant.
He looked down at the ground, laying a hand on his head while he was thinking. He chuckled afterwards.
"That tsundere side of yours is so wonderful, you know that?" He asked, looking up at the other cat. "Shut it!" Ruby retorted angrily and turned his back at Gold. "You know, I think I really came to love you." The amber eyed cat wanted to hug Ruby from behind, but the fine feline ducked underneath Gold's arms and ran to the other side of his room.
"Hmm, you're quite blunt, but by the way you're acting now you won't turn my heart." He said. "So, if I change my way of acting, you will like me too?" Gold looked up at the ceiling while thinking. "But that means I have to change myself. I don't want that! No matter how much I like you, Ruby." Gold pouted sad.
Ruby pointed a thumb at his window, saying that Gold had to get out. The amber eyed cat pouted even harder, making Ruby to sigh irritated.
"You have no choice but to get out. I'm leaving tonight so you don't have a choice spending your days and nights alone." He said. "Whaaaat?! You're leaving?! Where to?!" Gold asked shocked. The scarlet eyed cat rolled with his eyes. "Come with me. I'll show you something." He left his room with Gold close behind him.
Ruby entered another room where glass showcases were all over the place. Ribbons, medals, trophies and all of those things decorated the room.
"What's all of this stuff?" Gold asked, pressing his nose against a showcase to take a better look at a purple ribbon. "Keep your hands off! You're making stains!" Ruby exclaimed and pulled the other feline away.
"And for your information, these are all my rewards for being the most beautiful and elegant cat of this entire nation AND the world." Ruby smiled proud. "Waaait... are you a show cat?" Gold asked baffled. "Of course I am! How could you not have noticed?" Ruby retorted offended. "Well, I had a hunch..." Gold said.
"So... you're leaving for such a show?" Gold asked. "That's right. So I'll be gone for a week." Ruby said. "A week?! But I can't miss you for that long!" Gold could almost cry. "I don't care about that. At least, when I'm there, I meet cats worth my attention." Ruby turned his head away from Gold, who looked shocked at the other feline. His lip started to quiver.
"Th-That's mean, Ruby..." He sobbed. "I know I'm not a show cat, but I'm not worthless!" Gold exclaimed and ran away crying loud.
"W-Wait! Who said anything about being worthless?!" Ruby ran after Gold, but the quick cat was already gone and nowhere to be found.
Something started to gnaw on Ruby, but he shook it off. "I need to stay focused!" He told himself and walked with light passes to his owner's office, where he would laid curled up on his lap while being petted by his owner. Thinking about such lovely treatment, Ruby felt a lot better.
Gold however, was walking on the streets with his tail and head down. Ruby's words had really hurt him. "I'm not worthless. I'm not..." He sighed sadly.
"You look glum." Gold looked up at Red, who laid with his stomach on a roof. "What happened?" The older feline asked. "I got rejected... badly..." Gold replied, his head hanging. "By your cutie I presume?" Red asked. The other cat only nodded.
Red sighed deep and sat up. "I told you to be careful around pet cats. They think they're all important because they don't have to do anything for their food and get pampered like human babies." He said. "But... but..."
I really like Ruby!
Red sighed again. "It doesn't matter how much you like a pet cat, they will always think we're standing below them just because they have a collar around their neck. But truth is, it is actually we that are standing above them. Because, we fight for our food and lives. They won't even keep up five seconds in our world." Red said smirking.
Guess the same can be said about us as well. We won't be able to stay locked up between four walls. At least, I can't...
"C'mon, let's get getting some food." Red said and started to walk away. "Okay..." Gold said, not really in the mood to eat.
Back at Ruby's, the graceful feline was ecstatic when his owner gave him a new brand collar and a new outfit for tomorrow's show.
"Master, this is so beautiful! That green collar matches perfectly with the new outfit. Oh, and how it sparkles! That's so wonderful!" He exclaimed, holding the collar in the sunlight. His owner, who went by the name of Steven Stone, laughed. "I do everything to make you happy, Ruby. You know that, don't you?" He asked. "I know, Master, and I'm really grateful for that. I'm so happy I can live here with such a protective and kind master as you. I must be one of the luckiest cats in the entire world!" Ruby said, hugging his owner tightly.
Steven laughed. "And I'm one of the luckiest owners in the world." He said, petting Ruby on his white cap.
"Anyway, Ruby, there's something I want to talk to you about." Steven said. "About what, Master?" Ruby asked, tilting his head a little to the side and looking a bit confused. "Let's sit down first." Steven said and sat down the creamy couch in the salon. Ruby sat down next to his owner, wondering why his master sounded so serious all of a sudden.
"You see, Ruby, the madam that takes care of stray cats in her shelter has asked me to sponsor a project of hers. The project's about when you adopt a stray cat, you get all the basic supplies you need to take care of a cat for free, that's why she needs a lot of money to buy those stuff. But, that also means that if I sponsor the project, I have to adopt a stray cat as well. I just wanted to know if you were alright with that." Steven explained.
A scene started to play in Ruby's head. He saw his master coming home with Gold, and then Gold chasing and stalking him the entire time. He would be tired of all the hiding, resulting that his show results would suffer under it AND he saw Gold laying on his master's lap. A spot that's only preserved for him.
"NOOOOOO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Ruby screeched out, shooting up from the couch.
Steven looked bewildered at the scarlet eyed feline. "Wh-What? Why not? I think that's a brilliant idea. Giving all the stray cats a comfortable home, that is."
Ruby stamped with his feet on the ground angrily. "It's a ridiculous idea! And I don't like it at all!" He roared out. "Ruby, calm down. Why don't you like the idea?" Steven asked, grabbing hold of the feline's small wrists.
"Because... because... stray cats stink. And they're rude, violent, uncivilized, think they're so much because they're not bound by a collar and... and... they're just so annoying!" Ruby exclaimed angrily.
"But that's why the madam tries to reintroduce those stray cats back into social life. Of course, there are hopeless cases, but she succeeded quite a lot of times." Steven said. "I. Don't. Want. It!" Ruby pulled himself away from his owner.
"Really, Master, why did you had to tell me that the day before a show? Like always, your timing is way off!" The graceful feline turned on his heels and marched out off the room, slamming the door shut on his way out.
Back in the abandoned warehouse, where the stray cat Red ruled over his territory and every cat in it, Gold laid on his blanket, with his knees pulled up to his chest. He still hadn't eaten even though his stomach was saying otherwise.
"Gold. What's the matter?" Red asked. "You haven't eaten at all and your stomach is making more noise than female cats being in their rutting." The older feline said.
"Leave me alone, Red. I'm just having a bad day." Gold replied. "A bad day? You sound more depressed to me." Red said. The amber eyed feline growled. "Please, Red. Leave me alone." Gold repeated again. "Okay, okay. I'll leave you be." Red said with both hands raised and turned his back at Gold.
"Red! Red! Reeeeeeeed!"
Gold sighed annoyed when hearing Black's voice booming through the warehouse.
The brown furred feline jumped down a hole in the roof, landing in front of Red.
"Red! It's terrible! A complete disaster! You have to help me or else we're all doomed!" Black said, trampling with his feet on the ground.
"Why don't you calm down first and then tell me what's the matter?" The older cat asked. "Well, yeah. Okay..." Black took a couple of deep breaths.
"Y'see, I was napping on the roof of the shelter just now, when I heard the madam talking to some rich guy. They were talking about some project that would turn us stray cats into ordinary pet cats!" Black exclaimed, starting to trample with his feet again.
Red pulled big eyes. Even Gold looked up.
"What?! They're planning what?! Making pet cats out of us?! Who do those humans think they are?!" Red exposed his fangs, hissing angrily.
"I know right? But the worst thing is: They've already caught Blue!" Black exclaimed. "What? They have Blue? How is that even possible?" Gold asked, Ruby was least of his concerns now.
"Red, we have to go and help her and the others. We can't just leave them and do nothing!" Gold said. "I know. We're going to help them now!" He said and left the warehouse by jumping up the roof. Gold and Black followed their leader.
"By the way, Black. Why were you sleeping on the shelter's roof?" Gold asked. "Because it's comfy there!"
The shelter were the madam would reintroduce cats to the social life, was quite a big place. There was a lot of open space. Lots of places with sun and shadow. A lot of places to discover.
Most of it were surrounded by closed fences. Once in, the stray cats couldn't get back out. And now there were three stray cats trying to get in and back out with their companions.
After checking the surrounding area, the threesome jumped on the roof and crept over it like the stealthy cats they were. Luckily for them, the window was open. They peered through but shocked back when seeing two humans standing right under it.
"Okay. Getting in seems to be harder than I had imagined." Red whispered. "Shh! I can't understand what they're saying." Gold hissed. "Why do you want to know that?" Black asked. "I heard them saying something about a project. Maybe it's the one you meant." Gold retorted back.
The tree cats turned their attention on the conversation.
"Oh, mister Stone, that's wonderful news! I'm so happy you agree!" The madam said. "Yes. I think it's an excellent idea. You'll help a lot of stray cats with finding a warm home. There is one problem though. My own cat doesn't really like the idea, so I prefer a cat that can keep up with his stubborn and jealous side. Maybe a patient one." The man said. "Oh, but that's no problem at all! In fact, I think I already have the perfect cat for that." The madam said, sounding really enthusiastic. "Come with me, I'll show you right away!"
The twosome left through a door in the back.
"Okay, let's hurry before that guy takes one of our friends away." Red said and sneaked in. They went through the same door as the two humans left in and ended up in a long hallway. They crept through as silently as possible.
"I'm getting claustrophobic between these four walls." Black said. "Shoosh! Or else you're the next cat that'll turn into a pet!" Red hissed. Black got a color paler.
Gold noticed a hole that leaded to a shaft.
"Guys, we can get in there." He said, pointing at the shaft. "Good eyes, Gold. Let's get going." Red jumped up, followed by the other two.
They crept through the small and narrow shaft until they came to a point where they could look down, into one of the dens where the stray cats lived. The madam and the man were inside that den as well.
"Hey, that's Blue!" Black exclaimed when seeing her. "Keep. It. Down!" Red hissed. Black hit a hand on his mouth.
"Here she is. Her name is Blue and she's quite the energetic young cat, but she's really patient. And of course, very friendly and social." The madam said with a smile.
The man kneeled down to Blue's eye height. "She looks cute too." He said with a smile. "Thank you sir, you look good too." Blue said with a purr, her white with brown spotted tail swayed up and down.
"What in the world is she doing? Does she wants to get adopted?" Red asked himself. "No, she wouldn't..." Gold looked worried.
"I'm really curious if you can be patient enough with the cat that already lives at my home. He's a little proud and stubborn and he actually was against the entire idea, but I guess that's because he's afraid that you'll replace him." The man said. "Oh, he shouldn't be worried. I can be very independent." Blue said.
The man smiled and stood back up. "She convinced me. I'll take her." He said.
"What?! He can't be serious!" Red exclaimed.
Blue smiled as well. "I'm really happy you have chosen me, sir. But, if you don't mind me asking, what is the name of your other cat?" She asked. "Ruby. His name is Ruby."
Gold's eyes widened.
So that's Ruby's owner...
Suddenly, he started to crawl over Black.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Black asked. "Just, let me through!" Gold said and crawled back out off the shaft and ran out of the shelter.
He had never ran so fast before in his life as he did now. He raced towards Ruby's house. Banging on the window, calling out to the graceful feline till he opened up the window.
"Gold? What are you doing here?" Ruby asked, actually surprised to see the other feline. Especially after how Gold had ran away earlier that day.
"You have to come with me. Your owner has chosen another cat!" Gold exclaimed panting. He was still tired of all the running.
Ruby backed away.
"You're lying! Master would never do something like that to me!" He exclaimed. "But I saw it myself! And I know the cat he bought. She's a flirty one and will no doubt try to palm in your master for herself." Gold said.
"Liar! You're saying something so I come with you!" Ruby said accusing. "No, Ruby, that's not true! I would never lie to you. I... I love you too much for that." Gold said. "Don't say that word! You don't even know what it means!" Ruby hissed. "But it's the truth! Why else would I come here every day to see you?" Gold asked, trying to convince the other feline of his feelings for him.
"Even if it is true. You think that changing lifestyles is that easy? You think I can turn my back at my master just like that?" Ruby asked. "No, but you'll get used to it really fast. Please, Ruby, come with me. I don't want to see you hurt." Gold held out his hand and looked pleadingly at the scarlet eyed cat.
Ruby looked at the held out hand for a while.
"No. I'm staying here. Even if my master has bought another cat. I will fight. I'm not going to give him up without a fight! You don't know how kind he has been to me!" He exclaimed. "I might not know that. But I do know that you shouldn't underestimate Blue. She might be a girl, but she's also a fighter. You don't stand a chance against her, Ruby." Gold said, refusing to pull his hand back.
"I don't care! Steven is my master and I won't give him up! Not for anyone!" Ruby stated, looking angrily at Gold.
Gold let his arm drop beside him.
"You leave me no other choice then." He said.
He grabbed a hold of Ruby's slim waist with one arm and crushed his lips on Ruby's. The graceful feline opened his eyes in shock. His entire body was paralyzed.
Gold nibbled on Ruby's lip, forcing the other feline to open up his mouth. When he did, Gold slid his tongue inside the other's mouth, kissing him forcefully. He grabbed Ruby's wrist with his other free hand, but he couldn't prevent the other hand from hitting his shoulder and digging his nails into his chest.
But Gold didn't gave in. In fact, when Ruby dug his nails into his chest, he deepened the kiss and forced Ruby to kiss him back.
When he was sure, Ruby lost himself in the moment, he let go of Ruby's wrist, which hung numb next to him. Gold went with his now free hand behind Ruby's neck, fidgeting with the feline's expensive brand collar.
But he got distracted when Ruby suddenly started to moan in the kiss. He lost himself too for a moment, but got to his positives fast and tore the collar from Ruby's neck.
The scarlet eyed cat gasped.
"What are you doing?! That collar's expensive!" He exclaimed, reaching out to it. Gold didn't reacted on that and hoisted Ruby over his shoulder. "Hey! What are you doing?! Put me back down!" Ruby screeched out.
Gold jumped out of the window, on the tree branch near Ruby's window and landed on the ground without a sound.
"Gold, put me down! Where are you taking me?" Ruby asked. "To some of my friends." The other feline replied and started running towards the giant iron fence that surrounded the mansion where Ruby lived.
"Have you lost your mind?! I don't want to meet your friends! Let me go!" Ruby demanded. But Gold didn't listen and jumped over the fence, running towards the abandoned warehouse.
When Ruby's owner, Steven, came back home, after barely escaping an attack of two stray cats who were after Blue, he was exhausted and wanted to see Ruby to ease his wariness away.
The stray cats had taken Blue away and escaped successfully together with some other stray cats that lived in the shelter. Steven needed to get that out off his system and Ruby would surely make him think about something else.
He entered the feline's room.
"Ruby, I'm home." He called, but there was no response. In fact, Ruby was nowhere to be found. "Ruby?" Steven called again and looked around the room. He immediately noticed that the window was open.
Well, that wasn't unusual for Ruby since he always took a nap with his window open when the weather was nice out, but Ruby NEVER let his window open when he wasn't in his room. And since that was the case, Steven began to worry.
He walked over to the window and looked down in the front yard. Maybe Ruby was outside? Now that would be very unusual. Ruby mostly spend his time indoors and hardly ever came out if it wasn't for a show.
Steven turned his back and suddenly noticed something sparkling on the floor, something he had missed earlier when he entered the room.
He shocked as he noticed it was Ruby's diamond collar. It looked like it was torn from his neck.
Panic overpowered Steven as he ran back to the window. "Ruby?! Ruby, where are you?!" He called, but there was no reaction. Only a dog that started to bark in the far distance.
"Where is he? He couldn't have ran away, could he? That's nothing for him. He's terrified of the outside world when I'm not with him. Oh, please, tell me that he's just walking around in the mansion!"
Steven searched through his entire house, asking his personnel to look for Ruby too. But in the end, no one found the scarlet eyed cat.
Steven fell on the couch, feeling dizzy of all the worry.
"Where is he? He can't be far, can he?"
He shot back up when realizing something.
The window was still open and Ruby wasn't found anywhere in the mansion. Only one possibility remained:
Ruby was catnapped.

For centuries, countless children and adults have found joy in our dark winter days by participating in pastimes like snowballing, tobogganing, and skating. Though the snow hasn't quite reached us yet, here are a few seasonally inspired images of winters past to brighten the short December days…

Medieval Christmas
This is an illustrated transcript of Medieval Christmas, a feature I wrote for BBC Radio 3 Nightwaves. Downloadable as a BBC podcast here or here.
It's cold outside. Inside a large fire burns brightly filling the room with intense warmth. The occupants inhale the scent of decorative evergreens, drink sweet wine, and tuck into a hearty meal. Later they play games, listen to music, dance, sing carols, and exchange seasonal gifts and greetings. For many of us, this scene feels like a snapshot of the celebrations to come on the 25th, but it's not. It's Christmas in the Middle Ages.
If we could go back in time just over six hundred years, the festive season would be both familiar and strange. Then, just like now, Christmas preparations began weeks in advance, but what people busied themselves with before celebrating the birth of Christ was very different. Advent was a time for fasting, slaughtering and salting animals that wouldn't survive winter, and participating in irreverent customs like the Boy Bishop ceremonies held on the Feast of St Nicholas, when children would be elected to preside over all the tasks assigned to real bishops, except mass. Effectively in control of the bishopric, the boy bishop and his attendants would travel throughout the diocese offering blessings, declaring holidays, singing, and dispensing treats. In return they'd receive gifts, hospitality and entertainments.
Rituals like this, and the election of Lords of Misrule to oversee the festivities in noble households, were part of the popular carnival entertainments associated with the season. Temporarily letting the underdog have his day, by throwing aside the normal order of things in a controlled period of misrule, was incredibly popular and made the peasants more accepting of the feudal system that restrained them for the rest of the year.
Christmas Day marked the start of an indulgent period of at least 12 days of feasting, though truly extravagant festivities in royal and noble households might extend for 40 days beyond Christmas to Candlemas in early February. The lengthy nature of the celebrations was due to several factors, the most practical being the difficulty of travelling in the winter season, the abundance of fresh meat, and the fact that there was little agricultural work in the dark winter days.
And it wasn't just the length of the celebrations that were staggering by modern standards, but the volume of guests that were catered for by the wealthy. In the 1390s Richard II hosted the most lavish banquets, employing 300 cooks and servants to feed 10,000 people with 28 oxen, 300 sheep and innumerable fowl served up each day.
The romance of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, vividly evokes the spectacle of a royal banquet, telling us that each course was brought out to 'the blaring of trumpets', 'kettledrums', and 'pipes', as each couple shared 'twelve dishes, good beer and bright wine'. Food would include wild boar, fowl, pies, stews, bread, cheeses, puddings, and large rectangular shaped pastries filled with minced meats like pork, eggs, fruit, spices, and fat, the precursor of our mince pies. Before and after the hubbub and splendour of the banquet, raucous revels like tournaments, dancing, and playing games, would occupy guests.
Celebrations in noble and gentry households were much smaller in scale, but just as impressive. A letter from Margaret Paston to her husband John, written on 24 December 1459, outlines festive activities that their neighbour Lady Morley had banned the previous year when mourning the loss of her husband: 'there were no disguisings [masques],' she said, ' nor harping, nor luting, nor singing, nor no loud pastimes' only 'playing at the tables, and chess, and cards' was allowed.
At the lowest end of the social spectrum, peasants celebrated with dancing, singing, dice games, and mummings, where participants would don masks and visit local households singing and asking for Christmas charity. Christmas day was a quarter day, which, rather miserably, meant that peasants had to pay rent to their lord, but they received gifts of food, ale, clothing, and firewood in return, and this was one of the rare times that they would get to eat meat. They too celebrated for the duration of the twelve days of Christmas, returning to work after the feast of the Epiphany on 6 January.
It's through the poorest people that we see the true essence of Christmas in the Middle Ages: a spirit that speaks to our own age of austerity. For them, Christmas was about simple inexpensive pleasures, spiritual contemplation, and spending time with family and friends free from the obligations of work and rank.
Another post on Medieval Christmas, including a fourteenth-century recipe for the precursors of our mince pies, is available here.
View more of 'The Golf Book', one of the books used to illustrate this post, here. Technically it's not 'medieval' as it was produced in the sixteenth century, but it gives a nice sense of the Christmas season.

Christmas at the Medieval Court
Though Christmas was very different in the Middle Ages, many of the pastimes and activities that we associate with it would have been familiar to medieval people. Feasting, playing games, singing, drinking around a fire, decorating the house with evergreens, and giving gifts, are just some of the traditions enjoyed in the medieval festive season.
The activities depicted at King Arthur's Christmas court in the famous fourteenth-century romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight provide a nice insight into the festivities at a late medieval court:
The king was at Camelot at Christmas time, with many a handsome lord, the best of knights, all the noble brotherhood of the Round Table, duly assembled, with revels of fitting splendour and carefree pleasures. There they held tourney on many occasions; these noble knights jousted most gallantly, then rode back to the court to make merry. For there the celebrations went on continuously for fully fifteen days, with all the feasting and merrymaking which could be devised; such sounds of mirth and merriment, glorious to hear, a pleasant uproar by day, dancing at night, nothing but the greatest happiness in halls and chambers among lords and ladies, to their perfect contentment […] While New Year was so young that it had just newly arrived, on the day itself the company was served with redoubled splendour at table. When the king had come with his knights into the hall, the singing of Mass in the chapel having drawn to an end, a loud hubbub was raised there by clerics and others, Christmas was celebrated anew, 'Noel' called out again and again. And then nobles came forward to offer good-luck tokens, called aloud 'New Year gifts' profffered them in their hands. [translation from W. R. J. Baron's Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Manchester University Press]
As this passage illustrates, Christmas in the Middle Ages was a lengthy affair. Preparations and celebrations started well before 25 December, and continued long after. Though peasants returned to work after Epiphany (the twelfth day of Christmas or 6 January), the higher ranks might celebrate for longer, like Arthur's hosting of tournaments and feasting over fifteen days. Truly extravagant festivities might even extend until Candlemas on 2 February.
The anonymous Gawain-Poet does not describe the individual dishes eaten at Arthur's feast, but he does evoke the spectacle of a royal banquet, telling us that each course was brought out to 'the blaring of trumpets', 'kettledrums', and 'pipes', and that the dishes contained 'the richest foods, fresh meat in plenty […] and various stews'; each couple shared 'twelve dishes, good beer and bright wine'. Food served at a Christmas feast would include roast meats (especially wild boar), fowl, pies, stews, bread, cheese, puddings, 'sotelties' (elaborate decorative dishes designed for entertainment, often with religious or political significance), and mince pies. Unlike the pies familiar to us, medieval mince pies, or shred pies, were bigger, rectangular shaped pastries (known as 'cofins'), filled with minced meats like pork, eggs, fruit, spices, and fat. No specific recipes for them survive, but the Forme of Cury, a recipe book compiled c. 1390 by Richard II's master cooks, contains a recipe for 'chewettes', which are similar, smaller versions of the medieval mince pie:
Chewettes on Flesch Day. Take the lyre of pork and kerue hit [carve it] al to pecys and hennes therwith and do hit in a panne and frye hit and make a coffyn [pastry] as to a pye smale and do therin and do theruppon yolkes of ayron [eggs] hard, pouder of gyngur and salt, couere hit and fry hit in grece [grease] other bake hit del and serue forth.
It's easy to imagine Richard II's court celebrating Christmas over many days like King Arthur, eating course after course of the dishes described in the Forme of Cury. An account book of 1377 records that twenty-eight oxen and three hundred sheep were eaten at the king's Christmas feast, and the chronicler John Hardyng, describing the excess of the king's household in the 1390s, notes that ten thousand people a day attended Richard II's court and that they were provided with food and drinks by three hundred cooks and servants.
Celebrations in noble and gentry households were much smaller in scale, but nevertheless impressive. A letter from Margaret Paston to her husband John, written on 24 December 1459, includes a list of activities that their neighbour Lady Morley did and did not allow in her household the previous year when she was mourning the loss of her husband:
there were no disguisings [masques], nor harping, nor luting, nor singing, nor no loud pastimes, but playing at the tables [board games], and chess, and cards, such activities she gave her folk leave to play and none other [my translation]
Quieter pursuits, such as board games and cards were clearly suitable for a house in mourning, but louder and more spritely Christmas entertainments, such as singing, playing music and watching masques were not.
So, as you sit down to eat your Christmas dinner, tuck into a mince pie, sing Christmas carols, or play a board game with your family or friends this year, why not share your knowledge of the medieval Christmas and exchange the medieval Christmas greeting recorded by the Gawain-poet too – 'Noel!'

No real differnce in 215 vs 235 on the lower settings .030 .035. The 235 adds the .045 sMIG. On the stick side you can turn off the contactor on the 235. My units don't have fan on demand, it's fan on arc strike and stays on for while after, that could definitely be a shorter cycle. No wire sharp on the mig, wish it had that, no run in adjustment, jog, or purge feature. Inductance is awesome on both the Rebels, the preset on the sMIG for wire speed is best at the lowest setting for steel thickness with the trim on the high side and then adjust IPM up from there depending on what type of weld. Once you figure it out then you can get the most out of sMIG. The 235 has a nice spray using c10, little touchy and have to find the sweet spot but once you do it rocks. Stick on both the 215 and 235 is smooth and very easy even on 6010.
Technically the 235 would have been just fine not having the ability to run the larger spools, the increased size cuts down on the portability, add in a 44lb spool and it's a shop welder for sure that needs to be on wheels. Euro quick backend is not my thing, this is what comes on the 235 and sticks out farther then the Tweco on the 215. Luckily you can remove the euro adapter and run the standard Tweco. Dual gas inlets are nice on the 235, and it has a longer power cord. You can run the unit full tilt on a 10k generator. The 235 has been solid and no problems so far, but I do wish I could cram a Tweco wire feed assembly in it that is gear driven and took the larger drive rolls.

windows 7 won't boot past "starting windows" screen
Hey yesterday I got some sort of spyware or bug and my computer started acting funny so I turned it off and upon turning it back on I couldn't get it to boot. I've tried all the safe modes, tried booting from the windows 7 dvd to repair or reinstall the os but it won't make it past the starting windows screen. I suspect that the master boot files have been removed or corrupted by the virus (which was called "guo" in my task manager). So I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the bootable AV full scan will clean up your HD, then try repairing SYstem Files from DVD/Repair CD Command Line: SFC -SCANNOW Run in Command Prompt at Boot
If Win7 still won't boot, run Startup Repair repeatedly to see if it will Start.
Startup Repair should automate System Restore but if not try it separately from System Recovery Options.
If all else fails you can copy out your files into quarantine to be scanned with Malwarebytes and your AV with DVD/Repair CD: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console

Hobart Travel Blog› entry 4 of 5 › view all entries
As we got really cheap flight tickets to Tasmania, we decided to do a detour and visit my cousin and her husband in Dunally which is about 80km from Hobart.
Unfortunatly, we coulnd't get hold of them before we got to the airport in Hobart, so they were quite shocked when we called them and said we're already in Tasmania. However, coincidently they were just having their lunch in Hobart. So they were at the airport within 15 min.
After hireing a car (which happend to be another brand new one..) we all drove to Dunally and had a look at their house. They are actually building a house on their own!! The only thing they didn't do on their own was the electricity!!! That's really amazing.
The next day, we drove to Port Arthur which used to be a prison in the late 1800s. It was quite impressive and worth looking at it.
On Saturday, we went to Salamanca Markets which is at the waterfront in Hobart. Later on, we drove up on Mount Wellington from were we had an incredible view over the whole of Hobart and all the waterways!
Sunday was more or less our catch up day. That;s something you always have to have from time to time....you can imagine that you also have to wash your clothes when your on travels.....
On Monday, we drove to Mount Field Nationalpark. We walked through a beautiful rainforest to the Russel Falls and Horseshoe Falls. That was so nice and I really hope that I can see that sort of rainforest in New Zealand as well....
Tasmania was really really nice and we had a lovely time with my cousin Lucy and her husband Jeff. I definitly come back to Tasmania once!!!

The town of Škofja Loka is one of the finest preserved medieval towns in Slovenia. The old town centre resembles an outdoor museum, albeit a real living, working one.
The surrounding towns, villages and countryside of the Poljane and Selca valleys are crammed with wonderful nature, cultural and historical sights of interest, high-lying farms, and abundant opportunities for outdoor pursuits.
The name Škofja Loka, meaning Bishops Meadow, originates from the time when Roman Emperor Oto gifted land along the Poljane Sora and Selca Sora rivers to the Bavarian Bishops of Freising.
In addition to the magnificent old town of Škofja Loka with its mighty castle and museum – one of the most popular of its kind in Slovenia – don't miss the Poljane valley featuring Gorenja vas, Poljane and Žiri, and the Selca valley featuring Železniki.
The Škofja Loka Passion Play, the first Slovene dramatic text originated in the Škofja Loka area. In 2016 the play, which features around 600 volunteers and 80 horsemen, was included in the list of UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The next Passion Play will be staged in 2021.
The area is a paradise for lovers of the great outdoors; go skiing at Stari vrh or Soriška planina, cycle part of the 390-km Loka Cycle Route, hike to peaks such as Blegoš or Ratitovec or go for more gentle strolls on one of the many theme paths, go fishing in the Sora river – all this and more!
Find out more on the official Visit Škofja Loka website – http://www.visitskofjaloka.si/en/ and keep reading and following my blog for plenty more in-depth posts about the Škofja Loka area.

A woman is turned away after being told her health insurance is only affiliated with Catholic hospitals.
When a Chicago woman showed up at her doctor's office with bleeding from a dislodged IUD, she was turned away because the practice was affiliated with the Catholic Hospital – which opposes birth control.
Melanie Jones slipped in her bathroom, dislodging her IUD and causing internal bleeding in her uterus. Her doctor, while confirming the IUD was in fact dislodged and needed to be removed, informed Ms. Jones that due to Catholic restrictions imposed by Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, they would be unable to remove it themselves.
"I think my first feeling was shock" Jones stated in an interview with Rewire, "I thought that eventually, they were going to recognize that my health was the top priority". Jones wasn't even aware her healthcare network, Blue Cross Blue Shield, was Catholic.
Not only could Jones' doctor and Mercy Hospital not help her, but no one in Jones' health insurance network could remove the IUD either. ALL of the hospitals in Ms. Jones' network answered to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops that were opposed to all birth control and abortion services.
The doctor informed Ms. Jones that "switching networks would take her a month, and that she should feel fortunate because sometimes switching networks takes up to 6 months," the ACLU of Illinois wrote in a couple complaints filed this June.
Since the early 2000s, one in every six hospitals is affiliated with the Catholic church and has grown by 22%. Even women who have been miscarrying, a completely common, unintentional yet possibly fatal happenstance, have been turned away by Catholic-affiliated hospitals.
Lori Chaiten, Director of the Women's Reproductive Rights Project at ACLU in Illinois, states that "It's really important that the public understand that this is going on and it is going on in a widespread fashion so that people can take whatever steps they need to do to protect themselves."
Ms. Jones was able to change her insurance company and get the IUD removed, even though she needed to wait a full month. Otherwise, a trip to the emergency room for the removal would have cost for over $1,000.
In a tragic study done by ACLU, there are now 5 states (Alaska, Iowa, Washington, Wisconsin and South Dakota) where more than 40% of beds in hospitals are under Catholic health care restrictions.
In another 5 states (Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Oregon and Kentucky), between 30 and 39 percent of the care beds are in facilities that are Catholic-owned or affiliated.
In Washington State, 40% of all hospitals are Catholic affiliated. In entire regions, there is NO care facility that is NOT affiliated with Catholic rules.
The atrocities continue – with a long list of incidents of women being turned away during life-threatening, time-sensitive issues to hospitals three hours away with no transportation and no health insurance. This can be further explored in the ACLU report.
As the ACLU-MergerWatch report concludes, referring to the rise of Catholic-associated churches in the United States, "religious freedom in America means that we all have a right to our religious beliefs. But it does not give us the right to use our religion to discriminate against and impose those beliefs on others who do not share them—especially when doing so comes at the expense of women's health and lives."

5 Oct Quick fall foliage update
Just a quick fall foliage update. Some of my photographer friends in Vermont are reporting that overnight some areas have begun to pop!
Bloomfield Vermont as reported by Robert Lyons. (if you are interested in his drone work click here)
From John Rowe and his blog is here and Facebook is here.
Chris Whiton of White Mountain Images tells me he is on his way to Mt. Martha NH so I'm sharing these of his.
Also as added notes, Scott Snyder states that the I-89 corridor is starting to pop. Robert Lyons reports that the areas from the "1st" early foliage season have turned brown so it is not all rosy up there. These areas they are getting from their drones are new areas that had not turned in early Sept, so they were less damaged by the heat in the 2nd half of Sept.
I'm back at work so this next 5 days will be killing me when I have to be at work. I will, of course, get updates from all my photographer friends and post updates as I get them. Check my Fall Foliage Facebook page for more links and other folks posting their images.

text: At this point if you work in coffee and don't believe in the seriousness of climate change, then I don't think we can be friends. Yesterday an interesting paper was published that was picked up by the mainstream media. The paper itself can be read in its entirety here, and it predicts that arabica will be extinct by 2080. Which would be a bad thing. Read it, make up your own mind about how you feel about this stuff. Pick holes in it and publish your thoughts online. If I had a chance I'd publish something a bit more indepth on it, but that isn't an option for me right now sadly. I hope this gets picked up and discussed by others in the industry.

Pretoria - A revamp of rolling stock and rail infrastructure will see the creation of about 65 000 jobs, the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) said on Tuesday.The programme would cost about R136bn, said Piet Sebola, manager of the project.On the renewal of rolling stock, which was expected to cost R126bn, Sebola said an agreement had been reached with the Treasury on how the programme would be funded.Details of the funding structure are expected to be released next week, when Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan presents his 2012 budget.Sebola and Prasa CEO Lucky Montana were adamant that they had secured the funding, which would see 7 200 coaches delivered between 2015 and 2035.Montana said some of Prasa's rolling stock was built more than half a century ago and desperately needs to be replaced with more efficient coaches and locomotives.Some coaches would become museum pieces at railway stations, while others would be leased to other African countries, which have already enquired about old rolling stock.Montana said the new coaches would have to be energy efficient.Under the programme it was envisaged that a new rolling stock factory would be set up and a minimum of 65% of components would be locally manufactured.Sebola said: "At least until the mid-1980s, South Africa had the capability and capacity to design and build its own trains. To some extent we lost that because of non-investment in South African railways for quite a while."The renewal programme would restore that capability.Montana said it was not yet certain where the new rolling stock manufacturing facility would be established, but that several municipalities across the country have expressed interest.The modernisation of the rolling stock and infrastructure would result in faster train times, with commuter trains travelling between Johannesburg and Pretoria in under an hour.He did not view the improvements as competition with the Gautrain, but hoped for greater integration between bus networks and commuter rail networks, including the Gautrain.Sebola said the current narrow rail gauge - known as the Cape gauge - would be kept and upgraded, and it was hoped trains would reach speeds of up to 120km/h.Most of the proposed rolling stock would be distributed to regions with high passenger volumes including Gauteng, Cape Town and eThekwini.
another clean out of the economy!!! We ALREADY HAVE A FACILITY, Union Carriage in Nigel - Slap BANg in the middle of one of the areas of highest unemployment. Union carriage have made the rolling stock for the OLD S A R as well as Rhodesia Railways since the 1940,s. They have all the space needed all the equipment required to re-tool!!
But NO, move it to somewhere else, and let the ANC Cadres 1) Find the land! (buy it and sell on to the Govt at Z)a huge profit of course! 2)Get the construction contract for the new factory ( at a hugely inflated price) 3)Get a kickback on all the imported components (that could be made here - but are now imported) AND YOU TELL ME THAT "THEY" WILL CREATE 65.000 NEW JOBS?????????????? My Eye!!!!!!!
We also have a similar facility in Bloemfontein and Cape Town. They were CLOSED by the ANC because all the whites were working there and there were no suitably qualified BLACKS to do the work. So they closed them and put the whites out to pension or paid the younger guys out.The closure of these factories had nothing to do with sanctions. we had had all the raw material and the likes of Siemens are still in the country, only GM pulled out
Since when are they busy, it is going to take another 20 years before they start. They must first sort out the kickbacks
It is the ANC's fault that the railways that they inherited from the apartheid government basically got destroyed in 15 years. Maybe the ANC's master plan is to destroy everything and then "rebuild it" whilst taking commission/kickbacks. BUT the people of SA are getting gatvol, both blacks and whites.
65 000 jobs? We are still waiting for the miraculous 500 000 to appear from Zuma's last statement

I just got back from my walk around Eagle Lake Park and the Florida Botanical Gardens up in Largo. I got a couple of pictures that I liked out of it. Maybe two keepers out of almost a hundred photos. I just finished up working with them in Lightroom and Photoshop. They are of course tweaked from the RAW images from the camera.
This one is from Eagle Lake Park. I kept it because I like the lighting and I thought the sky would turn out great after converting to black and white.
This is from the Rose Garden at the Florida Botanical Gardens. I liekd the framing with the gazebo and its shadow mostly. Once again converted to black and white.
This photo is also from the Botanical Gardens on the bridge going over towards the Welcome Center. I may have overdone the contrast a little bit.
You can click through for the photos on Flickr if interested. I have added the locations to all the photos from .gpx tracklog so you can see where they were taken pretty accurately as well.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! So you want a tuned Nissan GT-R with 1000 hp, but still need a car that's civilized enough for daily driving? Switzer Performance believes it has the solution in the form of the Ultimate Street GT-R, a new 1000-hp model from the Ohio-based tuning company.The goal was for this new tuned Nissan GT-R to be tolerable in normal use — Switzer claims the exhaust is relatively quiet except at full throttle, the engine idles smoothly, and gear shifts aren't overly harsh. That differentiates this model from the more extreme Nissan GT-R packages that the company offers."Usable and practical is exactly what we wanted out of the [Ultimate Street Edition cars], and we've finally gotten these to the point we want them," company owner Tym Switzer said in a statement. "There is none of the harshness of most 'tuner specials'."Performance modifications to the Nissan GT-R begin with upgrading the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 engine with new Switzer-specification pistons, connecting rods, and camshafts. The turbochargers are replaced with liquid-cooled units that produce 30 percent more airflow than the factory ones, and the intercoolers are replaced by larger Monster units alongside Switzer's front-mounted transmission cooler. Along with a new stainless-steel exhaust and reprogrammed engine computer, Switzer says the powertrain upgrades will produce 1000 hp using premium gasoline.Though the car produces a claimed 1000 hp, Switzer says it will return better than 20 mpg on the highway. The 2013 Nissan GT-R, by contrast, produces 545 hp and 463 lb-ft of torque, and is EPA-rated for 16/23 mpg(city/highway.To help keep the ride smooth, Switzer's Ultimate Street Edition GT-R has lowering springs but the factory adjustable dampers, and new lightweight alloy wheels wearing performance tires. The six-speed dual-clutch transmission also has been worked over by Shepherd Transmission so it can withstand the upgraded engine output, but still remain easy to use in normal driving.Switzer hasn't yet revealed a price tag for its Ultimate Street Edition GT-R, but don't expect it to come cheap; the stock 2013 Nissan GT-R already costs nearly $100,000.Source: Switzer Performance Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Switzer Performance Reveals Ultimate Nissan GT-R with 1000 HP /8 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 8 2 | 8 3 | 8 4 | 8 5 | 8 6 | 8 7 | 8 8 | 8

* Port seen as indicator of economic activity in east Africa
* Kenya's landlocked neighbours dependent on east Africa's biggest port
* Work taking place on new $300 mln terminal to boost capacity
By Joseph Akwiri
NAIROBI, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Container traffic through Kenya's biggest port grew by 9.9 percent in 2012, boosted by an expansion programme, the port's management said on Tuesday.
The Indian Ocean port of Mombasa is also a bellwether for economic activity in east Africa as it handles imports such as fuel and consumer goods for Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia and exports of tea and coffee from the region.
However, fears of disruption during Kenya's presidential elections in March may hurt traffic over coming months as east African businesses seek alternative routes for their goods, port officials said.
"There is growing anxiety for the assurance of a smooth flow of business along the northern corridor during and after elections in Kenya," Gichiri Ndua, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) managing director told journalists in Mombasa.
In the aftermath of Kenya's 2007 poll, ethnic violence across the country paralysed cargo transport and some landlocked east African states found themselves short on oil and other key provisions.
Ndua said some clients were rerouting goods through Tanzania's Dar es Salaam port, hoping to avoid what happen in 2008 when tons of cargo disappeared in transit during the post-election violence period. Much of it was lost to looting.
"We cannot foretell what this year will be like because that is depended on many factors especially the elections. If we do it peacefully, then we should expect a further increase of cargo throughout to over 10 percent by the end of this year," he added.
Kenya is building a $300 million second container terminal at Mombasa to handle increased trade within the region, driven by a sharp growth in construction, vast infrastructure development and an emerging middle class.
Although the new terminal is not officially open, dredging work to allow bigger vessels to dock at Mombasa port has been completed. A new deep-water berth had also become operational in 2012, boosting traffic.
The port handled 21.92 million tons of cargo in the 12 months to the end of December 2012, up from 19.95 million tons handled during the same period in 2011.
Imports made up 85.5 percent of all traffic volume, "reflecting a huge imbalance of trade", Ndua said. Total imports grew by 10.6 percent, posting 18.73 million tons in 2012 from 16.9 million tons in 2011.
Exports, which included tea, increased by 9.2 percent, to 3.04 million tons in 2012 from 2.79 million tons in 2011. Container traffic went up by 17.2 percent to 903,443 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2012, up from 770,804 TEUs handled in 2011.
Landlocked Uganda remains the most frequent destination of goods arriving in Mombasa, Ndua said, taking up 73.1 per cent share of the total transit traffic from the port.
The east Africa nation also plans to construct a second port in Lamu, north of Mombasa, with a capacity of 23 million tonnes per year. (Editing By Drazen Jorgic, Ron Askew)
