Read our writer's views on this property below
Anna Anderson lures her teenagers to this south coast beachside beauty for some post-exam fun.
We've chosen a mid-winter getaway to celebrate the end of our teenagers' college and university exams. We need a lure to prise them away from their social lives, so website images of The Cottage at Mollymook and a booking at Bannisters Restaurant do the trick. Surfboards and wetsuits are tossed into the boot along with woolly sweaters and bed socks.
We arrive in Mollymook just in time for our lunch reservation and in minutes we're unwinding with drinks and a coastal outlook.
Storm clouds and a spit of rain haven't dampened our spirits. Instead, we settle in for a long, lazy lunch of seafood chowder, seared scallops, Indonesian seafood curry and chilli mud crab. It's the perfect start for our weekend together.
We're more than relieved to arrive at The Cottage. It's on an ocean-front block bordered by banksias and bottlebrush with a lovely lawn and ocean views to the horizon. Even under a leaden sky, The Cottage sparkles and inside, there's a slow-combustion fire alight. Heaven.
It's a simple, 1960s-style house with a recent renovation; clean lines, pine floors and an all-white interior.
Wandering through the house and putting dibs on the bedrooms, we start to recognise pages from our Ikea catalogue. Here, the Scandinavian aesthetic works a treat. Soft linen sofa covers, a good-looking and functional kitchen and bedrooms of calm neutrals with crisp, white bed linen.
There are plenty of wooden hangers in the cupboards and rolls of fluffy white towels. The kitchen cupboards are heavily stocked with new china and glassware, the bookcase has plenty to choose from and there are iPod speakers.
It's so welcoming we've quickly claimed our territory on the sofas and slumped into a dozy evening. A generous stock of logs keeps our fire blazing and our only whine is that we can't sit directly in front of it. A couple of beanbags wouldn't go astray (does Ikea do beanbags?).
The gods are with us as, after a long and heavy sleep (aided by black-out drapes behind pretty, diaphanous white curtains) we rise to find the sun pouring through the east-facing windows of the living area. It's still brisk out on the deck but we fill our lungs with the briny air, check out the surf (it's pumping) and shuffle back inside to a pancake breakfast. As the sun swings around to the north, it warms the deck and flows into the dining room. Perfect for a spot of yoga and some reading.
Our view of the surf encourages us to drive down to the beach (it's about a five-minute walk) but once there, the frigid water temperature has us opting for a walk along the sand to the rock pools instead.
A five-minute drive takes us to Milton, one of the south coast's prettiest towns. It's easy to spend a couple of hours in the country-chic homeware stores and boutiques so by the time we seat ourselves in the sun at Pilgrims vegetarian cafe, we're hungry. We go for burgers – the Mountain and the Bliss burger. Both are delectable. To finish, we share chocolate brownies and an oat and honey slice washed down with chocolate milkshakes.
Next stop is Cupitt's Winery a few minutes' south of Milton. We're disappointed to find it closed for three weeks of maintenance but judging from the quaint restaurant and winery buildings, the posted menu and enormous dining deck with sweeping vineyard views, we plan a return visit.
Back at The Cottage, we build another fire and spend the afternoon reading and snoozing. There are two barbecues; a gas-fuelled one on the deck and, my favourite, a brick-pit and hot-plate affair on the lawn.
Sadly, we're too full from our Pilgrims pig-out to barbecue or to try Bannisters' bar and pizzas, so we toast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate instead.
It's blissful to have our little family away together for a well-deserved break. We find a deck of cards for a few rounds of Rummy by candlelight and enough current magazines to keep us entertained. If it's this pleasant in the dead of winter, how much fun would it be in summer?

I'm back... I've been pretty busy, so i'm sorry we haven't talked. Next year is a busy year for me, so i've been preparing in the background, setting the table and getting things ready for a delicious feast! Speaking of delicious feasts, Thanksgiving is here! In honor of the holiday, i'm releasing a new print!
"The Little Hero of Time"
To purchase a print click HERE
"The Legend of Zelda" came into my life when I was 6 years old. Released in 1986, this was not just a video-game to me, Zelda was a revelation. My world had changed, and it's future was all about video-games. Zelda games are a great way to mark a specific time in my life. "A Link To The Past" took up a lot of my early teenage years and carried me through High-School. "Ocarina of Time" was a pretty awesome way to spend my first Christmas break from College. "The Wind Waker" congratulated me on graduating from Art Center in 2003, and was my only friend when I moved up to San Francisco and away from my family for the first time. And here we are at the end of 2013. I'm replaying through The Wind Waker in HD on my Wii U. A 3DS sequel to my 2nd favorite Zelda game, "A Link Between Worlds" has just been released and I can't wait to play it. Zelda is awesome, and I love it a lot! I still have my original NES cartridge after all these years:
If you're new to my work, this is one more piece in an ongoing series of prints where I combine some of my favorite video-games with Little Golden Books. You can see more of them HERE and HERE.
This part of the post originally contained info about my Black Friday - Cyber Monday sales, but since that's over, i've removed it..
Don't be a stranger! You can always follow me on Twitter and Facebook! Stop on by, I'd love to hear from you.

Despite the damage in the enamel I think this is a wonderful Limoges brooch. In my opinion probably pretty old not only because of thee aforementioned damage but also by the beautiful decorative back. The pin closure is missing. A seed peal in the edge missing. I am planning to do an effort to repair this brooch (diameter 2.4 cm). This is according to you worth? And do you agree with me that this might be a very old brooch ? I appreciate your feedback!

Patrick McHenry. [Source: Patrick McHenry]The Pentagon tells Republican congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) not to re-air a video he had shot in Baghdad after he was accused of breaching operational security by giving detailed information about enemy rocket attacks. McHenry traveled to Iraq on March 22, where he made news by berating and insulting a guard for not allowing him into a gym because he lacked the proper identification. YouTube Video - On April 4, after returning to the US, McHenry uploads a video he had shot while in the Green Zone onto YouTube and his Web site. The video shows McHenry pointing to a building behind him and telling viewers that a rocket had "hit just over my head" earlier. McHenry also names two more locations struck by rockets. Veterans' Group - On April 6, a veterans group accuses McHenry of giving away intelligence information that can help insurgents better target positions inside the Green Zone. "The bottom line is that whoever launched that strike could take the information McHenry provided and use it to kill Americans in the Green Zone," writes Brandon Friedman of VoteVets.org, an antiwar organization that calls for troop withdrawals and promotes veterans for public office, on the organization's Web site. "This is why professionals operating in a combat zone are trained not to reveal any battle damage after an attack." [McClatchy, 4/8/2008] Friedman adds: "McHenry—a fervent war supporter who has never served in the military—was apparently content to promote his Baghdad adventures at the expense of US troops on his Congressional website, during public appearances, and on YouTube. He did this until he got called out today." [Brandon Friedman, 4/7/2008] Pentagon Review - After Friedman's post, McHenry pulls the video and sends it to the Pentagon for review. McHenry's spokesman says he was not briefed on withholding its publication, but a Pentagon spokesman says he doesn't know what McHenry was told: "but we routinely brief our operational rules to our visitors in Iraq and Afghanistan. Military officials and soldiers are never allowed to publicly speak about battle damage. This is not the first time McHenry has violated security protocols in talking about his visit to Iraq. A Republican opponent for his seat, military attorney Lance Sigmon, recently uploaded a video to YouTube showing McHenry discussing his trip to Iraq with local Republicans. In the speech, McHenry gives actual distances of how close the rockets came to hitting the building that he and other visitors were sleeping in. That kind of information is very useful for the insurgents in targeting future rocket barrages. Sigmon, an Air Force veteran, calls McHenry's actions "absolutely reprehensible." [McClatchy, 4/8/2008] No Apology - After McHenry pulls the video, Friedman notes that no apology accompanied the withdrawal, and "That leads me to believe that McHenry pulled the video because he's more worried about the damage this could do to him politically." Friedman adds, "In a bumbling attempt to make himself look braver and tougher than he really is, Congressman McHenry put US troops at further risk by publicly revealing details about the success of an enemy rocket attack." [Brandon Friedman, 4/7/2008]

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) accuses the Obama administration of colluding with Democrats to include a "high-speed rail system" from "Las Vegas [Nevada] to Disneyland" in the administration's economic stimulus package. "Tell me how spending $8 billion in this bill to have a high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is going to help the construction worker in my district," he demands. [US House of Representatives, 2/13/2009] Claim at Odds with Facts - Boehner is joined in the claim by several of his House Republican colleagues, including Patrick McHenry (R-NC), Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), and Candice Miller (R-MI), as well as Republican Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Jim DeMint (R-SC). Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) includes the claim in his response to President Obama's address to Congress regarding the stimulus package. Many of these lawmakers add the accusation that the supposed rail line, which they call a "levitating train," is an earmark inserted for Senate Majority Harry Reid (D-NV), whose state would benefit from the rail line. In reality, the stimulus bill does not set aside any money at all for a train of any kind between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The bill does provide $8 billion for unspecified high-speed rail projects, which includes "magnetic levitation," or maglev, train systems. The money will be allocated by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, one of two Republican holdovers from the Bush administration in President Obama's cabinet. A Department of Transportation spokesperson says it is "premature to speculate" about what exactly will be funded; the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense says there is "no way that this provision is an earmark for Senator Reid." The governors of Nevada and California—both Republicans—have indicated they would support such a maglev line between those two cities. The nonpartisan site FactCheck.org writes: "We can't predict the future, and it's certainly within the realm of possibility that the Republican who is Obama's transportation secretary will decide to devote the entire $8 billion to a project that is nowhere near shovel-ready and that the Federal Railroad Administration says is not cost-effective—all for the benefit of the Democratic majority leader. But we wouldn't bet on it." [FactCheck (.org), 2/25/2009; New York Times, 2/25/2009] The Center for American Progress notes that Republicans mock the idea of "levitating trains" because, apparently, "they [think] the term sounds funny." FactCheck observes, "In truth, 'levitating' trains really do exist—but they are properly called maglev trains, and they are high-tech marvels" employed in Japan, among other places. [FactCheck (.org), 2/25/2009; Think Progress, 3/2/2009] Plans Include Ohio Lines - While there are no plans for a train line of any kind between California and Nevada in the stimulus package, there are at least two proposals for rail lines in and out of Ohio, Boehner's state. The plans under consideration include a Cleveland-Toledo-Chicago line and a Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati-Indianapolis line. [Think Progress, 2/13/2009] Train to Las Vegas Brothel? - In March, a Republican House member will claim that the supposed "levitating train" will not just go to Las Vegas, but to a brothel. The claim is entirely false (see March 2, 2009).

Representative Mary Bono Mack (R-CA) expresses her outrage over the so-called "Disneyland to Las Vegas" train (see February 13, 2009 and After), saying she cannot believe President Obama's economic stimulus plan has "$1 billion wasted on a magnetic-levitation train from LA to Sin City." When challenged by reporter Dick Spotswood over the disproven claim, Mack sends a staff member to "get him the bill, it's right there, show him." As Spotswood later reports, "A few minutes later, a staffer emerges with a copy and quietly says 'it's not in the bill.'" [Marin Independent Journal, 3/1/2009]

Fox's Megyn Kelly. [Source: Huffington Post / 236 (.com)]Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ) builds on the false claim that Democrats want to build a "levitating train" from Los Angeles to Las Vegas as a favor to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV—see February 13, 2009 and After). Franks tells a credulous Fox News anchor that the train will not only go to Las Vegas, but to the door of Nevada's most famous brothel, the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, repeating Franks's claim, says: "It's a super railroad, of sorts—a line that will deliver customers straight from Disney, we kid you not, to the doorstep of the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada. I say, to the Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada. So should your tax dollars be paying for these kinds of projects?" Franks continues: "The majority leader of the US Senate, Harry Reid, has fought for this publicly and is committed to this project, even in the face of criticism.… If this is something that is truly the priority of the majority leader of the US senate, it's pretty late in the day, Megyn." No such earmark exists in either the stimulus package or Congress's omnibus spending bill; when the Center for American Progress (CAP) asks Franks's office to prove the claim, his staff refuses, and tells CAP to contact Reid's office. There is a proposal to refurbish a historical rail line between Gold Hill, Nevada and Carson City, Nevada, a substantially different proposal than the "levitating brothel train" Franks claims is being proposed. (The Moonlight Bunny Ranch is actually in Carson City, which may explain the genesis of Franks's claim.) Kelly asks Franks how politicians can be held accountable for such actions, and he responds, "Fortunately, people like yourself and Fox News are a tremendous help in that regard because they tell the people—you know, sunlight has a way of being an accountability all by itself" (see October 13, 2009).

Republican House member Patrick McHenry (R-NC) admits that his party's resistance to Democratic initiatives are designed to bring down the approval numbers for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Congressional Democratic leadership. Speaking of Republican resistance to the Democrats' recent budget proposal and other economic initiatives from the Obama administration and House Democrats, McHenry says: "We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010. Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint." McHenry belongs to a group of Congressional Republicans helping to shape the party's message in opposition to Obama and Congressional Democrats. Washington Post pundit Greg Sargent writes, "It's likely that Dems will grab on to [McHenry's] quote today to bolster their charge that Congressional Republicans aren't interested in playing a constructive role in governing and see their hope for political revival in the eventual failure of the Democratic majority's policies." The article also cites a recent statement by House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), who told a group of reporters that House Republicans would not bother crafting bills to provide alternatives to Democratic economic legislation: "I have been trying to get my Republican colleagues to understand that we are not in the legislative business. We will spend more time communicating [with the American people], because that is what we can do." [National Journal, 3/7/2009; Plum Line, 3/9/2009] Minority Leader: Comments 'Largely Correct, but Incomplete' - Through a spokesman, Boehner says of McHenry's statement: "I think that's largely correct, but incomplete. Obviously, as Leader Boehner has said repeatedly, we stand ready to work with the Speaker and the president when it is in the best interest of the American people. When we cannot work together, Republicans will offer better solutions—rooted in our principles—to the problems facing our country. If House Democrats push for the same tired liberal agenda of higher taxes to pay for more ineffective government spending, I imagine that their standing in the polls will suffer, but our first priority is doing the right thing for the American people, and we hope it is theirs as well." Sargent notes: "My parsing of this is that Boehner believes that McHenry's description of the party's strategic goal as winning the message war and dragging down Dem poll numbers is 'largely correct,' but that McHenry left out the GOP's willingness on principle to work with Dems and that the GOP's 'first priority is doing the right thing for the American people.' That would appear to stop short of disagreeing with or criticizing McHenry." [Plum Line, 3/10/2009] McHenry's Previous Utterances - In April 2008, McHenry was reprimanded by the Pentagon for breaching operational security and and giving terrorists potentially useful information (see April 4-7, 2008). In February 2009, McHenry joined in falsely accusing the Obama administration of funding a "levitating train from Disneyland to Las Vegas" (see February 13, 2009 and After).

The progressive media watchdog Web site Media Matters releases the results of an analysis it has performed on Fox News's claims to be an objective news provider. According to Media Matters, Fox News's news reporting (as opposed to its commentary) is permeated with conservative slant, spin, and outright falsehoods. The Media Matters analysis, which restricts itself to material broadcast in 2009, is prompted by White House claims that Fox News is not an objective source of news, but a purveyor of Republican- and conservative-sourced propaganda (see October 11, 2009). [Media Matters, 10/13/2009] Anchors Echoed False Health Care Claims - In February, Fox News anchors Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly echoed a false claim made by health care lobbyist Betsy McCaughey that a legislative provision in a Senate spending bill would empower the government to "dictate treatments" doctors can provide for patients (see February 9-10, 2009). Anchor Echoed Republican Press Release So Closely that Typo Is Repeated - Also in February, Fox News anchor Jon Scott repeated the claims of a Senate Republican Communications Center press release so closely that the on-air graphics repeated a typographical error from the original document (see February 10, 2009). Scott did not acknowledge the source of the research, even after apologizing for the typo. News Show Passed Off Seven-Month-Old Video Clip as New to Claim White House Hypocrisy - On March 15, Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum used video clips of Vice President Joseph Biden to falsely assert that the administration's economic message had drastically changed since the election, from negative characterizations to positive assertions. MacCallum did not tell the audience that the clip of Biden was a seven-month-old clip from the presidential campaign, and that the words Biden was speaking were his characterization of Republican candidate John McCain's perceptions (see March 16-17, 2009). Anchor Promoted, Praised 'Tea Parties' - Several times in March and April, Hemmer, the host of Fox News's flagship morning news broadcast America's Newsroom, hosted segments promoting and praising the upcoming April 15 "tea party" protests (see March 23-24, 2009, April 6-7, 2009, and April 13-15, 2009). Labeled GOP Op-Ed Claims as 'Facts' - On April 1, Scott repeated claims made by a Republican congressman in an editorial about the GOP's "alternative budget" almost verbatim, but labelled them "facts" (see April 1, 2009). Fox Repeated Discredited GOP Claims about Price of 'Cap-and-Trade' Proposal - On April 1 and 2, anchors Eric Shawn and Alisyn Camerota repeated a disproven claim that the Obama administration's "cap-and-trade" emissions control proposal would cost American households over $3,000 per year. They did not report that the claim had been disproven (see April 1-6, 2009). Obama Budget '4X Bigger' Than Bush Budgets - On April 3, Hemmer's America's Newsroom displayed an on-air "chyron" that falsely claimed President Obama's 2010 budget proposal was four times larger than the largest budget submitted by former President Bush (see April 3, 2009). News Anchors Promoted 'Tea Parties' - On April 15, Fox anchors joined opinion commentators in touting the day's "tea party" protests (see April 15, 2009). The next day, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly admitted that the network gave the protests "PR" coverage (see April 16, 2009). Correspondent Used GOP Research to Criticize Democratic Spending - On April 23, Hemmer used research by Republican House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) to "expose" several "wasteful" projects funded by the Democrats' economic stimulus act, without revealing the source of the research to his audience (see April 23, 2009). Correspondent Claimed Legislation Would Curb Religious Expression - On April 29, Fox News correspondent Molly Henneberg repeated disproven claims that a pending hate crimes bill would interfere with Americans' right to religious expression (see April 29, 2009). News Anchor Accused Democrats of Defending Pedophiles - On May 6, Hemmer falsely accused Congressional Democrats of voting to extend "hate crimes" protection to pedophiles (see May 5-6, 2009). News Anchor Accused Supreme Court Nominee of 'Reverse Racism' - On May 26, Kelly misrepresented a remark by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to accuse her of "reverse racism" (see May 26, 2009). Misleading Editing to Bolster Obama 'Apology Tour' Claim - On June 2, Fox anchors Scott and Jane Skinner aired selectively edited clips of a speech by Obama in France to falsely claim that the president had nothing but criticism for the US while in Europe. They then asked if Obama intended to embark on a second "apology tour" (see June 2, 2009). On July 30, The Live Desk guest host Gregg Jarrett told viewers that a recent decision by the Obama Justice Department may have meant that it was permissible for blacks to intimidate whites at the voting booth, but not the other way around (see July 30, 2009). News Anchor Reported False Allegation of Criminal Activity by Obama Official - On October 1, Hemmer reported that Education Department official Kevin Jennings covered up the crime of statutory rape. The allegation had been disproven five years before (see September 28 - October 1, 2009). [Media Matters, 10/13/2009]

All in Boston for Larry David's HBO movie Clear History. It's a big cast. I like the idea of Jon Hamm + Danny McBride. Off camera. How much debauchery?

More than 57 million people in the United States (age 18 and older) suffer from a mental illness. Over 50% of women who live with a mental illness have previously experienced some sort of trauma such as physical or sexual abuse (either during childhood or adulthood). Domestic violence can cause an adverse ripple effect on the emotional and psychological state of a survivor. Panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, depression and anxiety are often ignited by domestic violence and/or other severe forms of abuse. Issues surrounding poor mental health are often ignored or go unaddressed by society. Coping with emotional and psychological traumas often becomes burdensome for survivors. Stabilizing basic resources can become strenuous and tedious. Persons living with mental illness are overrepresented in homelessness populations, prisons, and often experience economic injustices. Suicidal tendencies, substance abuse and psychotic episodes can all be sparked by violence and maltreatment. Individuals may simultaneously suffer from more than one mental illness. Children exposed to domestic violence are at risk for developmental delays, psychiatric disorders, school difficulties, aggressive behavior, and low self-esteem. While being exposed to a traumatic experience can trigger mental health problems, living with a severe mental illness is likely to increase the vulnerability of a person being abused. Although abuse can cause emotional scarring, the majority of victims do not develop serious mental health issues.
FCADV provides many resources to certified domestic violence centers for enhancing service provision to survivors living with mental health complexities. These resources include onsite and electronic training and technical assistance as well as educational materials. Please use this page to search for resources to support service provision in your center.

1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder. (National Institute of Mental Health, 2009)
Research indicates:
- 54% to 84% of battered women suffer from PTSD,
- 63% to 77% of battered women experience depression, and
- 38% to 75% experience anxiety.
Abuse rates are higher among homeless women with serious mental illnesses. A study with 99 episodically homeless women with serious mental illness, found that significant numbers had been physically (70%) or sexually (30.4%) abused by a partner. Rates of physical or sexual abuse in adulthood by any perpetrator were 87% and 76%, respectively (Goodman et al, 1995).
Between 3.3 million and 10 million children witness domestic violence annually (American Bar Association, 2009).
Across studies of US and Canadian women receiving services for domestic violence, rates of depression ranged from 17% to 72%, and rates of PTSD ranged from 33% to 88% (Warshaw & Barnes, 2003).

Home of Harvard Football and Lacrosse Harvard Stadium Notes
- Harvard Stadium Football History
- Harvard Stadium Bubble Information
- Harvard Bubble Time-Lapse Video
- Harvard Football Facility Tour Video
The First & The Finest
Nestled in a spectacular setting next to the Charles River and with the Boston skyline on the horizon, Harvard Stadium ranks among the nation's finest college football facilities.
Built in 1903, it is also the nation's first stadium built for college football. Harvard Stadium is a horseshoe containing architectural elements of a Greek stadium and Roman circus and is considered an engineering marvel, as it was the world's first massive reinforced concrete structure and the first large permanent arena for American college athletics. With a seating capacity of 30,323, Harvard Stadium is praised for its outstanding sightlines for fans.
Harvard Stadium once accommodated as many as 57,166 spectators when steel stands were built in the north end zone. Those stands were removed in 1951.
It Changed The Game
The close proximity of the stands to the field at the Stadium led to one of the most successful innovations in football history. In 1906, debate raged about the sport's roughness and several colleges had dropped football in favor of rugby. When the football rules committee met to discuss changes, Walter Camp proposed widening the field by 40 feet. However, that idea would require considerable alterations to the Stadium. Ultimately, the committee adopted the forward pass.
National Recognition
Harvard Stadium is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and is one of just four athletic arenas to be so designated. The Yale Bowl (built in 1914), the Rose Bowl (built in 1922) and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (built in 1921) are the other three.
A Gift From The Class of 1879
The Stadium, a 25th-anniversary gift of the Class of 1879, was constructed in four-and-a-half months at the cost of just $310,000.
Prior to the Stadium's opening, Harvard played its home football games at a number of sites. Jarvis Field, where the Littauer Center now stands, was the setting for the Crimson's inaugural contest against McGill (1874) and its first intercollegiate game against Tufts (1875).
After several seasons of playing home games at the South End Grounds, Harvard returned to Cambridge in 1881 and played at Holmes Field, now the sight of Langdell Hall. Football, and most of the school's outdoor teams, moved to Soldiers Field in 1894.
All-Time Record
Entering the 2020 season, Harvard has played 719 games in Harvard Stadium since Nov. 14, 1903 (an 11-0 loss to Dartmouth). The Crimson's all-time Stadium record is 454-231-34 (.601).
More Than Harvard Football
Track and field, rugby, lacrosse, soccer, professional football and even ice hockey have also been played at Harvard Stadium, which is also home to the Crimson men's and women's lacrosse programs.
The then-American Football League Boston Patriots called Harvard Stadium home for two years from 1970-71.
The Stadium also hosted Olympic soccer competition in the summer of 1984 (Cameroon, Canada, Chile, France, Iraq, Norway and Qatar all competed), and was the site for the university's 350th anniversary celebration in 1986.
The U.S. track and field Olympic trials were held here in 1916 and 1920.
Historic, Yet Modern
The last major renovation of the Stadium infrastructure took place in 1984, and recent structural testing confirms that Harvard Stadium will be as functional well into the 21st century as it was in the early 20th.
In recent years, the playing field was recentered to improve the view for fans seated in the closed end and accommodate the 1998 construction of the Murr Center.
Perhaps the most dramatic change to Harvard Stadium took place as part of a 2006-07 upgrade to the facility that included replacing the natural grass surface with FieldTurf, the addition of lights to allow for nighttime use of the field and the installation of a removable dome-like "bubble," that allows for year-round use of the facility.
In 2007, the Crimson hosted Brown in the first night game in program history at the Stadium, and 2008 saw the addition of a video board and updated public address system. Harvard replaced the FieldTurf surface again during the summer of 2015.

first timeI was 17 this was my first u2 gig i queued all weekend for tickets was in the first 50 people to get them.i remember the fatima mansions being in surport best night of my life ive got the cd of the night that i have on every day
14 August, 2010
First U2 gig!!!We queued for 9 hours for tickets, having got to NEC 'early' to avoid the queue!! On the day, my 10 year old Escort was full of people, it was pissing down rain and the heater was stuck on and I had just passed my driving test!! ...we got restricted view tickets but ended up with a stage side view!! Long pigs..P J Harvey.. then, Larry and Bono came on stage on our side and my cousin who was a huge fan at her first gig was in floods of tears!! I can still remember half way through, Larry taking his Trabant for a walk on the b stage!! Quickest 2 hours of my life.... In the car park queue on the way back, everyone cheered through U2 songs being played from most cars as a posh lady a few cars ahead appeared from her boyfriends lap.. with a big smile.....!!!
13 April, 2010
U2 @ NEC June 1992I had just left high school, was sweet 16. U2 were the kings of MTV and I had a geography exam the next day. Needless to say I did not pass that exam, but this was my first U2 concert. I lined up all night to buy the ticket, in itself an amazing experience. We all sat around the outside of the building singnig, eating, trying to stay warm until the box office opened, then swarms of people ran over the hill to meet friends in the front of the line (Bummer). Still got amazing seats in the balcony. In the NEC you are so close anyway in comparison to Giants Stadium. The tour was brand new and I was so priviliged to have seen this show. Bono commented on the arena :It's nice to do small clubs. I remember that he got the words mixed up to Until The End of The World, and I am sure they sang Stand By Me acoustically. That may have been the last song of the night. Absolutley amazing set with the cars hanging, Edges fabulous sequined trousers, Bono's Fly Suit. The evening was electryfying and I have seen many shows since but this one is etched in my memory forever, perhaps because it was the Summer of U2 baby. Very exciting, stayed with me for a long long time afterwards. No photo's to post becuase I didn't think that we could take any. I subsequently went to Zooropa '93 at Wembley Stadium.
14 February, 2010

First, read my little intro about Japan.
Overview of Japan posts:
Japan 1: Welcome to Tokyo! (and a killer okonomiyaki)
Japan 2: Yokohama and Omuraisu
Japan 3: What Makes Japan One Of A Kind
Japan 4: Special Japanese Neighborhoods + Those Famous Food Floors
Japan 5: A Gourmet Japanese Lunch + Roppongi Hills
Japan 6: Kyoto (1st installment, 2nd installment)
Japan 7: Disneyland and DisneySea
Japan 8: Tsukiji Fish Market & Tsukiji neighborhood
When it comes to shopping, I'm positively insatiable when it comes to three things: kitchenware, cookbooks, and oh yes, kitchenware. So you can imagine my glee when my sister in law, Yappi, takes us to Kappabashi Dori, Tokyo's main wholesale district for the restaurant industry, aka: one long street exclusively devoted to kitchenware. Incredible! While this might seem like a most unexciting activity for some, there's plenty to see even if one isn't into plates and things.
The area is easily recognizable by the colossal 39-foot chef's head that looms above the Niimi building. Directly across the street on the opposite building are four pairs of cups and saucers stacked vertically. This is definitely the right place!
Stores in Kappabashi are either specialized (selling one type or category of thing) or a general collection of things. I clutch my bag close while admiring exquisite hand-painted Japanese bowls and tableware; sigh while caressing a genuine ceramic Japanese knife; ogle all manner of cookie cutters, okonomiyaki grills, and amazingly, molds to (I assume) make mooncakes in. I gawp at cauldrons deep enough to hide a small child, whisks large and scary enough to brandish as weapons, stare in wonder at a rice scooper that's as tall as Boo, and examine foot-long cooking chopsticks. I fall in love with a teapot that just begs to be bought, a beautiful fire engine-red thing and the stuff of my hot beverage drinking dreams. But at ¥13,000 (P7,500), those dreams don't come cheap. I actually come back to Kappabashi again (via the scary subway) before leaving Japan, intent on buying the teapot but settle for a much cheaper model. Ayyy! If I bought the pot I truly wanted, I'd have to make myself countless cups of tea to justify that purchase.
I squeal in delight when I come upon stores selling plastic models of every imaginable foodstuff from sushi to loaves of bread to complete bento meals. These models are surprisingly expensive "" a simple salmon nigiri "sushi" is ¥500, or roughly P250; a "bowl" of ramen can cost as much as ¥7000 (P3500). I briefly consider buying even a small plastic food model as a souvenir, but for what? At that price, I might as well eat the damn thing! Cool to look at though. And I can't get over how real they all look. Maybe that's why they're so expensive.
Japan's 5th Avenue
Everybody knows Ginza, Tokyo's fanciest district: the apotheosis of Japanese extravagance where people dressed in designer from head to toe come to shop and where more ordinary mortals simply come to dream and engage in Ginbura (Ginza strolling). The wide streets are ideal for window-shopping (practically the only thing most people can do here at these prices!), especially on weekends when cars are banned from the main street and cafés spill out onto the road. Packed into eight blocks are over 10,000 shops most of which are selling merchandise with a price tag equal to that of a small country's GNP. In a Gucci store, I watch as a white-gloved salesman escorts a female customer to the door before handing over her purchase. The delighted lady casually slips the bag over her shoulder and walks away pushing her kid's stroller. Imagine: lady, baby, and Gucci. The stuff of designer-label dreams.
All the brand giants are here from Bulgari to Mikimoto. All this flashy competition has led to commissioning architects to fashion storefronts with spectacular facades. Watch maker Mont Blanc has a see-through glass elevator that customers can use to access the building's other levels, although ordinary tourists like me use it to have a gander at the view. Heehee.
I'm lucky to come back to Ginza at night when the entire area is crammed with people and the neon lights are ablaze in their fiery glory. This is the pulsing, vibrant Tokyo that is so legendary.
Underground where the treats abound
It's at the basement level of large department stores where Japan's food lovers congregate. This is the place to witness, smell, and experience the culinary wealth and diversity that is Japan. Called depachika (department store basement), this is where the finest sushi, tea and coffee, sake, bento boxed meals, Japanese confectionery, and celestial pastries are to be had. Shops and stalls are grouped according to product so sushi gives way to katsudon, yakitori (grilled meat on skewers), coffee, chocolates, breads, and pastries. It's tantalizing and terrifying all at once just because of the sheer amount of choice. Most depachikas go on sale near 8:00pm which is closing time so the madness multiplies. Because seeing is believing, I'll let my photos do the talking. Believe me, Japan is a fabulous place for a food lover like me to be.

Al-Wasat did not appear on newsstands on Sunday and its online edition was disabled, according to local and international news reports. The Information Ministry accused Al-Wasat of "deliberate news fabrication and falsification during the recent unrest that gripped the Kingdom of Bahrain," the official Bahrain News Agency reported. On Monday, president of the Information Affairs Authority, Shaikh Fawaz bin Mohammed al-Khalifa, lifted the ban after the paper's editor-in-chief, Mansoor al-Jamri, Managing Editor Walid Nouwaihidh, and Local News Director Aqeel Mirza stepped down.
"Resigning was a difficult decision but it is what was needed to safeguard the newspaper and the livelihood of its staff," al-Jamri told CPJ. "The paper has been subjected to a relentless campaign of intimidation by the authorities."
Bahrain has intensified its crackdown on media since imposing a state of emergency last month, CPJ research shows.
"Alleging bias in Al-Wasat's coverage without providing credible evidence to support such a claim is laughable," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "Bahrain has previously hurled unsubstantiated accusations of bias in order to silence critical media, most prominently against Al-Jazeera last year when the government wanted to shut the channel's local bureau.
Lotfi al-Messaoudi, one of four Al-Jazeera journalists detained by Libyan authorities, was released and arrived in Tunisia on Sunday night, the Qatar-based news station reported. Al-Massaoudi, along with colleagues Ahmed Vall Ould Addin, Kamel Atalua, and Ammar al-Hamdan, were arrested in mid-March and freed on Thursday only to be re-arrested on the same day. The three journalists remain in custody, according to Al-Jazeera. At least seven local journalists who spoke critically of government policies remain missing amid wide speculation that they are in the custody of forces loyal to Qaddafi.
"We are relieved that Lotfi al-Messaoudi has been released, but remain concerned about the fate of the other missing and detained journalists in Libya," said CPJ's Abdel Dayem.
On Sunday, Libyan authorities ordered London's Daily Telegraph correspondent Damien McElroy to leave Tripoli, according to news reports. The Libyan government provided no justification for its action. On Wednesday, the government expelled Reuters correspondent Michael Georgy, who had been covering the conflict for several weeks. Again, no reasons were given for the expulsion.
In Iraq today, security forces arrested Murtadha al-Shahtour, media director of Al-Nasiriyya's police department and a regular contributor to the independent daily Azzaman and other news websites. On January 2, al-Shahtour published an article on the website Kitabat in which he criticized government policies related to security issues. Kitabat said that al-Shatour's detention stems from the January 2 article; the Journalistic Freedoms Observatory (JFO), a local press freedom group, concurred.
Security forces arrested Raya Hamma Karim, a correspondent for the independent weekly Hawlati and Niyaz Abdullah, a journalist and a board member of JFO, in Iraqi Kurdistan today, news reports said. Both were covering student protests at a university in Arbil.
In Yemen, Ahmad al-Aghbry, a journalist working for the official SABA News Agency and a member of the Yemeni Journalists' Syndicate, told CPJ that he received an email that it interpreted as a threat. In the email, the sender accuses al-Aghbry of possessing information about an upcoming terrorist attack, adding that he would be held accountable for it, al-Aghbry told CPJ. The syndicate condemned the threat, and called on the Interior Ministry to seriously investigate this and similar previous threats. CPJ has documented dozens of threats made against journalists during the past two months in person, on the telephone, and over email.
Reuters said that Syrian authorities freed its Damascus-based photographer Khaled al-Hariri on Sunday, six days after detaining him. Al-Hariri was the last of five Reuters journalists who had been detained incommunicado by Syrian authorities in the past two weeks. All have since been released. On Friday, two correspondents for The Associated Press were ordered to leave the country with less than an hour's notice, the news agency reported. CPJ continues to track the cases of a handful of local journalists who have been rounded up in Syria, either while reporting or from their homes.

Hi, Can you explain how websites like yourself and Outpost Gallifrey have the names of at least 2 of next year's DVD releases days if not weeks before The Official BBC Website and The Restoration Team Website?
Frankly the BBC Secrecy surrounding these releases baffles and frustrates me - I'd rather they gave us the full year's release schedule the year before once its been determined!
Galaxy 4 replies:
You have answered your own question here. Because of their 'official' status The BBC and Restoration Team can't confirm the releases until all clearances have been met and approved through a wide range of channels. We only decided to list these titles ourselves after BBC Australia and BBC America revealed them in their own schedules for 2005, suggesting their release in UK would pre-date their release overseas. Also we never betray the confidence of producers' by giving away compromising information about any products before reliable information is revealed 'officially' elsewhere (in this case BBC America and BBC Australia).
i'm glad the daleks will be in the new Doctor Who. I'd hoped the cybermen would return as well. I'm enjoying the Dr who magazine comic strip, 'The Flood' with the Cybermen too! I'd love to see a new Ice Warriors or Yeti story next. The 2005 Doctor Who/ Dalekmania calendar is the best yet!
I'd just like to say thank you to Galaxy 4 for the recent opportunity to meet Daphne Ashbrook. She was really nice! Thanks also to the Hyde Fundraisers for attending the event, I hope they raised lots of money!
Just wanted to say Hyde Fundraisers are delighted to be working with Galaxy 4 for the Daphne Ashbrook signing and other forthcoming events. We hope fans give their wholehearted support to our fundraising . Cheers

A first class online Doctor Who Shop top quality items sold and always excellent service.
A very quick delivery time.
As a massive fan of Dr Who, I got to meet, work and booze with Chris Eccleston at the West Yorkshire Playhouse recently. He is a really nice chap and is chuffed to bits to be the new Doc. I visited the shop recently. Its cool!
The news about the new series is fantastic. I think we are in for a treat with Russell T Davies and Christopher Eccleston at the helm. I only wish I could avoid seeing any news spoilers until the day and see it as I did when I was a kid. In those days I had no idea what might appear on the screen and it made it all the more exciting.
Thanks Galaxy 4 for some great signings. The opportunity to meet Katy Manning, Richard Franklin, Nicholas Courtney and John Levene was much appreciated. Who's next?
Galaxy 4 replies:
Daphne Ashbrook visits us on 28th August
I would think that Christopher Eccleston would be an excellent Ninth Doctor. I can hardly wait for the new show to come out! Lets all let Russell T and crew get on with making the show and hope that over-proprietorial fans don't pester them with their opinions on what it should be like. The best eras of Dr Who were when it was made for the general public and not the fans.(1960's and 1970's) Okay. Lets have a jelly baby.
I believe that R.T.D can give Doctor Who that "every pound on the screen" approach not seen since the days of Philip Hinchcliffe - and Christopher Ecceleston as the Ninth Doctor was a truely inspired choice - if this is how things continue - Who knows? (pardon the pun)
Well, i am very happy with the news that christopher eccleston is to be the new doctor. I have quite a few of his performances on DVD/Video,shallow grave,the others,elizabeth,28 days later,second coming, in all of which he gives a superb commanding performance.
Roll on 2005,and well done to the casting department!
Just read your reply regarding Product Enterprise, and was wondering if you know what will be different about the remote controlled Dalek? Also any idea as to why they've cancelled the Talking Davros?
Galaxy 4 Replies:
The new Radio Control Dalek has a more refined control box and consequently improved movement and voice commands. The packaging is totally redesigned as well and it will come fitted with batteries. What's more we are offering it at £10 less than the previous design! The Talking Davros has been cancelled for several reasons but mainly because it became too expensive to make for the price they wanted to charge.

The Houston Dash couldn't put away their early chances and couldn't generate enough opportunities in the second half in a 1-0 loss to the Washington Spirit at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday night.
Jodie Taylor chipped Dash goalkeeper Erin McLeod in the 61st minute for her 7th goal of the year and Washington's first win in four games.
The Dash started on the front foot in the first half. Kealia Ohai was busy down the right side, using her pace to get behind the Spirit defense. Dash midfielder Becky Edwards found the speedy forward behind the defense with a perfect long ball in the 20th minute, but Spirit goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris—just returned from USWNT duty—rushed off her line to smother Ohai's shot attempt.
McLeod was also called into action in the first half for the Dash. Spirit forward Lisa De Vanna burst into the box on the left side 33 minutes in and used the outside of her left foot to try to beat McLeod with a shot to the far post. The Dash keeper did well to stretch to the ball and pushed it just enough to ricochet off the inside of the post and stay out.
Chances were at a premium for most of the night, and even more so as the muggy weather wore down both sides. Washington got the breakthrough just after the hour mark, though, as De Vanna found Taylor sprinting behind the Dash defense on the counter attack. McLeod charged off her line as the English international received the ball, but Taylor picked her head up and lobbed a shot from the edge of the penalty area for the game's only goal.
The Dash travel to New Jersey to face Sky Blue on July 2 looking to end the two game losing streak before returning to BBVA Compass Stadium to take on the Western New Flash on July 5. Washington returns home against the Boston Breakers on Wednesday.

Capital works as a bulwark against losses and provides protection for depositors when a bank is experiencing financial trouble. Therefore, a bank's level of capital is a key measurement of a bank's financial fortitude. From a safety and soundness perspective, more capital is preferred.
1st Summit Bank received a score of 10 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure the adequacy of a bank's capital, falling short of the national average of 13.13.
One commonly used measure of this buffer is a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. 1st Summit Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 17.06 percent, exceeding the 6 percent level considered adequate by regulators, but under the national average of 25.65 percent. A higher capital ratio means the bank will be better able to weather economic downturns.
Overall, 1st Summit Bank held equity amounting to 9.07 percent of its assets, which was lower than the national average of 12.03 percent.
Bankrate uses this test to estimate the impact of troubled assets, such as past-due loans, on the bank's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization.
Having lots of these types of assets may eventually force a bank to use capital to absorb losses, reducing its cushion of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and no longer earning money, resulting in reduced earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
1st Summit Bank scored above the national average of 37.49 on Bankrate's asset quality test, racking up 40 out of a possible 40 points .
The percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets is a handy indicator of asset quality.As of December 31, 2017, 0.38 percent of 1st Summit Bank's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's below the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks maintain a reserve known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses" to deal with problem assets . Comparing the size of that reserve to the total amount of problem loans can be a handy indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage problem assets. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on 1st Summit Bank's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
How profitable a bank is affects its safety and soundness. Earnings may be retained by the bank, increasing its capital cushion, or be used to address problematic loans, potentially making the bank better able to withstand economic trouble. Conversely, losses lessen a bank's ability to do those things.
1st Summit Bank did above-average on Bankrate's test of earnings, achieving a score of 20 out of a possible 30.
Return on equity, calculated by dividing net income (essentially, profit) by the total amount of equity, is one important way to measure a bank's earnings. The most recent annualized quarterly return on equity for 1st Summit Bank was 10.58 percent, above the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank reported net income of $9.7 million on total equity of $93.2 million. The bank experienced an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.96 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Scientist Dr. John Beck (Stewart Moss) really loves bats--so much that he's devoted his life and his ski vacation in northern New Mexico to his avid chiropterology. His beautiful wife Cathy (Marianne McAndrew) tries to make the best of things, inviting her hubby for a frolic off the tourist paths in some beautiful caves beneath the mountains. Unfortunately the amorous pair tumble immediately into a hole filled with beetles and are soon after attacked by a very frightening rubber bat replica! After their rescue, Johnny suffers a pair of hilarious seizures, which makes his wife and ski-bum physician Dr. Kipling (Paul Carr, moustache fancier extraordinaire) fear John has contracted the rubber rabies. After a bad reaction to his first rabies treatment, Paul is hospitalized.
The first night, Paul awakens from a dream of murderous bats to find himself transformed, Kafka-esque, into a Man-Bat! Half-man, half-bat, all murdery, Paul offs a nurse and later a dope-smokin', fornicatin' teen...or does he? The doctor believes his transformations and rampages are all in his head, but local cop Sgt. Ward (Michael Pataki, Mad Movie veteran of The Baby and Grave of the Vampire) is not convinced--and the pair of bodies cooling in the morgue don't help Kipling's case either. In a fit of animalistic rage, Paul escapes the hospital, steals an ambulance, and tears out of there like a bat out of hell! (So to speak.) Fleeing back to the cave where his troubles began, Paul descends into either madness or bat-itude, while Cathy and the increasingly unhinged Ward try to track him down. Can they get to him before he kills again?
A mad mad mad mad movie if ever there was one, The Bat People (1974) is really something special. Sure, director Jerry Jameson's film has pacing problems, and relies too heavily on poorly matched stock footage of bats in nature, but the several things about this flick had me grinning idiot-wise throughout:
- Any movie gets bonus points from me when it opens with a plaintive, 70s theme song. This one has "Angel of Fear," and it's a stunner.
- Some of the "attacking bats" shown in closeup are clearly being held by their wingtips directly in front of the camera and are struggling mightily against the injustice. This is both slightly cruel and deeply hilarious.
- The Man-Bat makeup by Stan Winston I found to be excellent and distinctly Naschy-esque.
|"I am not an animal! I...oh, wait. Fuck."
- A late scene where John transforms while making love to his oblivious, orgasming wife is also Naschy-esque (q.v. Curse of the Devil [1973]).
- An early bat-creature attack scene is scored with the most incongruously toe-tapping free jazz you can imagine. The Naschy parallels have pretty much got to be intentional at this point (q.v., Vengeance of the Zombies [1973])
- Stewart Moss's eye-rolling, face-twitching seizures should have won him an award. Also, awesomely named Arthur Space has a show-stealing scene as a philosophical hobo.
- There's an odd kneecapping of our sympathy/admiration for the shrewd, no-nonsense Sgt. Kelly when out of nowhere he gets all rapey on Cathy in her hotel room! WTF, lawman?
- The final "bat-attack" scene, which also explains the plural form of the noun used in the title, is simply fantastic.
And many thanks to the beautiful and deadly Jenn of Cavalcade of Perversions, whose love for this flick is what caused me to seek it out in the first place!
|"Look, I'm getting used to the sweater, but if you say 'Good Grief!' to me one more time, so help me..."

Bela Bartok: Sonata for Two Pianos & Percussion - La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest
Date: 5/23/2016; 31 minutes
Bela Bartok's Sonata for Two Pianos & Percussion grew out the composer's interest in the piano as a percussive rather than a lyrical instrument. Though rarely performed, since it requires the unusual combination of two superb pianists and two virtuoso percussionists, the Sonata is considered one of Bartok's most individualistic and expressive works.

The Commons is a great place to eat due to the diversity of the food. They have Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Indian and American style food all in one place. When you go with a group of friends you can always enjoy what you want. The location is great because after I eat at a reasonable price I can go to grab a coffee.

The most useful two options I've found for starting up emacs are:
-debug-initThe first disables the loading of your .emacs and default.el files, which is handy when you want to differentiate between problems in your .emacs file and problems outside (.Xdefaults, site specific .emacs, etc.).
The second gives you a backtrace when any error happens during loading of your .emacs file. While it doesn't often pinpoint the exact line where things went wrong, it usually gives you a clue as to where to start looking for problems.
For all options, read the manual here: Initial Options - GNU Emacs Manual

Entering the restaurant you feel like you have just landed on a Caribbean Island. Along with seasonal deck dining, and Island music playing and Island decor in the dining room you will definitely feel you have escaped the mainland to an Island in the Canadian keys. We are located in the southern most part of Canada.
In the main Inn, there are six rooms that share two common washrooms, with privacy doors, crown moldings and tongue and groove wood giving these bathrooms a clean rich look. The common living room is full of antiques giving you that relaxing into the past attitude.
Located in the blue waters of Lake Erie's western basin, Pelee Island is the largest of the Lake Erie Islands and Canada's most southerly inhabited point.
If you are looking for a peaceful respite from your routine, Pelee Island is definitely for you. Enjoy the quiet hospitality of the Anchor & Wheel Inn's restaurant and bar, shared or guest room accommodations. Camping is also an option.
The small-town charm of Pelee Island is unknown to most mainlanders - and those who know it prefer to keep it their secret! Clean, fresh air and frequent blue skies, spectacular sunsets and clear, starry nights can be expected.
Fishing is a favorite pastime, and some of the best catches of pickerel (walleye) around can be had off Pelee's surrounding reefs. Small mouth bass are also plentiful, even from the shoreline and docks.
Explore unspoiled nature reserves and beaches, as well as lighthouse and winery ruins. Bicycle on country roads, swim in clean, sandy-bottomed waters, but most of all, RELAX and ENJOY!

I have derived an explicit formula for the Euler zigzag numbers, the number of alternating permutations for n elements:
$$A_n = i^{n+1}\sum _{k=1}^{n+1} \sum _{j=0}^k {k\choose{j}} \frac{(-1)^j(k-2j)^{n+1}}{2^ki^kk}$$
For details, please refer to my article in Voofie:
An Explicit Formula for the Euler zigzag numbers (Up/down numbers) from power series
I would like to ask, if my formula is new, or is it a well known result? Since I can't find it in Wikipedia or MathWorld. If it is an old formula, can anyone give me some reference to it? Also, if possible, can anyone provide some reference to other explicit formula for $A_n$?

Prefab Sprout
Now I'll admit that this, my first ever entry on my new blog, is a direct steal from an old blog I used to keep called secretflower. Don't hate me - I need to start somewhere! Besides, I've been listening to the glorious Sprout again recently, and I have found their sound never ages. So, here's to a new blog, which I promise I won't abandon or leave idle....
Now if ever there was an obscure, intellectual and listener-friendly 80s pop group, it was surely Prefab Sprout. The utterly adorable Paddy was an ex-priest with a whimsical line in lyric writing, and created some of the most sublime pop tunes, not just of the 80s, but EVER. They weren't very big in Australia, having only a minor hit with the exquisite Appetite, a paen to physical longing and failed vows. I urge readers to rush out and get their hands on a copy of Prefab Sprout's greatest hits collection - you'll need never listen to anything else. The Sprout reached the very pinnacle of Pop perfection with their timely song Cars and Girls, a sort of pop-cultural analysis of Bruce Springsteen and American easy-listening rock. The analysis continued with their witty send-up of American music in general, The King of Rock and Roll, which contained that perfect song lyric "Hot dogs, jumping frogs, Albuquerque..." Way back in the day, I had my own radio show on a college radio station, and would host a star-studded hour or so of truly catholic muscial exploration. I'd play, back-to-back, Kylie Minogue, The Hard-Ons, Doris Day and Malcom McLaren. Ah, those were the days....But my show opener was always the ethereal Prefab Sprout slow song When Love Breaks Down. And songs don't get any sadder, or any more beautiful than that.
