Last week was a big week for fans of Laurel and Hardy what with TCM having a massive marathon. Now we start this week with some rare Laurel and Hardy DC comics from the 1970′s.
That last story was from the one and only DC issue but here, from a piece I posted in 2009, is the cover of what should have been the second issue, featuring Stan and Ollie meeting Superman.
Bernie Krigstein, one of comics early experimental stylists, is seen to good advantage here in one of his many post EC stories done for Stan Lee's Atlas Comics in the late 1950′s.
Finally today, here's Rowland Wilson, Syd Hoff and others with a selection of the almost lost art of single panel cartooning, this from a 1960 issue of the venerable Esquire.

The penny war is on
Olds Municipal Library has declared war on the Didsbury Municipal Library.
The two libraries will compete to see which one can raise the most pennies before Labour Day weekend.
�It�s a fun idea for a fundraiser,� said Lesley Winfield, Olds Municipal Library manager.
�At the end, we don�t get anything for being the winner except for being the prestigious town that can support their library the most, I guess.�
The money raised will be used to help Olds Municipal Library pay for activities during Library Month in October.
�We have an author coming in during that month, as well as a bunch of other activities for the community,� said Winfield.
The penny war started four weeks ago, and will continue until Labour Day weekend. The pennies are deposited in a large, clear wine carboy.
�I would say we have a quarter of one filled,� said Winfield.
�It�s hard to guess how much we will be able to get, but I guess the big thing is you won�t even be able to spend your pennies after this fall. You might as well donate them to the library and let us spend them for you.�
The library is also planning other activities around the penny theme. For example, children involved in the story hour program have started penny trees.
�They bring in pennies each time they come to class to feed their little tree and help it grow,� said Winfield.
The library will also host a penny carnival later this summer for mothers and their kids.
�We will be having a penny carnival with the kids that day, and then we will have a bunch of vendors from around town,� said Winfield.
�The mothers will have a chance to pamper themselves and look at the things maybe they have been dreaming about and haven�t had the chance to get for themselves.�
Should people want to keep tabs on how the wine carboy is filling, it is in the Olds Municipal Library main area.

Our computer's motherboard crashed forcing us to get a new PC. The old computer was an HP Pavilion with Windows XP OS. We were using the Maxtor One Touch II external hard drive for backup. Luckily we backed up just 2 days prior to the crash. We went out and purchased a new PC, the Dell Inspiron i530S which of course came with Vista Home Premier. We are now stuck.
Maxtor II does NOT have software compatible with Vista. We were able to hook up the Maxtor and it was recognized by our new computer, and we were even able to transfer the data over via Vista's Easy Transfer software but of course this data was transferred over as "restore points". Because Maxtor II does not have vista compatible software, we have NO CLUE how to "open" these restore points!
Before being forced to buy casing and setting up the old hard drive for extraction, is there another way of opening these restore points? We do have a second PC in the home that runs on XP if there is a way to "filter" the Maxtor data through that PC? Keeping in mind that this second PC has much too small of a hard drive to accommodate all the maxtor data.
We have been googling for days and have yet to find a solution! Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
You can try the vista compatible version of retrospect hd and see if it will see the restore points on the external
you can download it in the download center under the onetouch 3 downloads.
You don't need any software to plug in the external and have Vista find it as an external drive.
You can copy and paste the data back.
10-04-2008 08:56 AM - edited 10-04-2008 08:59 AM
except if the drive has been secured with a password, then you need the correct driver and software afaik.
but then, you can just connect it to a windows xp computer, install the software and remove the password :-) or use the onetouch 3 software on vista?

How recessions make more millionaires…
Posted By KJ in Entrepreneur Ideas
Go to the mall and ask the first person you see to describe the economy.
I guarantee they'll talk about "not enough jobs." This common answer is the reason marketing leader, Dan Kennedy, has released a freevideo series that turns that thought on its head. [Watch this:] Dan has used his decades of experience to study the past economic performance of the United States. He was surprised to discover that most millionaires are made during, and right after, a recession. In fact, because of the Great Recession, the number of millionaires is expected to almost DOUBLE
in the next ten years. [The shocking statistics are in this video.] I've been reading the books Dan writes for more than twenty years. When he says, "You should check this out." I look…ESPECIALLY when it comes to marketing
in a "tough" economy. I'll be sharing your next free video, in a couple days. Have a good one.

Published in the Spring 2007 issue • Letter from the editors
Letter from the Editors
People always ask us for advice on starting a magazine. Usually, they want tips on how to hook up with a distributor, find an affordable printer or recruit writers and artists. As far as we're concerned, those are the easy parts. Since it's our last issue as co-editors of Shameless, we'd like to share some of the other lessons we've learned along the way—lessons we're pretty sure will stick with us for life.
"Let's do lunch" can be the sweetest phrase in the universe. Especially when it comes from one of your feminist heroes. We'll never forget the time Michele Landsberg took us out for sushi and gave us a pep talk, back when Shameless was still just an idea.
Sometimes, you've got to be sneaky. From staging an unauthorized photo shoot in a men's bathroom to photocopying party flyers at our day jobs, being indie publishers has taught us to be stealthy. We suspect this will serve us well in our new careers as cat burglars.
Always have tissues handy. You'd be surprised by how many things can make you cry when you're an editor of a small magazine—whether it's a computer crash that corrupts the file you've been working on for the past 12 hours straight, or a high-school teacher telling you Shameless is the only thing the girls in her class will read. Embrace the tears! (Or, at the very least, be ready for them.)
Being in the public eye is embarrassing, but worth it. Getting free publicity for the magazine often put us outside of our comfort zones. When comedian Mary Walsh asked us to fly to Halifax to appear on a panel with sexperts Sue Johanson and Dan Savage, we hopped on a plane and tried to psych ourselves into believing we could hold our own with the pros. When an alt-weekly offered to feature one of us in its style section, Melinda lost the coin toss and was sent to model on behalf of our feminist magazine. (She's still grumbling about that one.) We've allowed TV cameras into our homes and have woken up at 5 a.m. for radio interviews, sometimes knowing that only one or two people would be listening.
When in doubt, put on a rock show. Hosting all-ages shows has been a fun way to raise money, celebrate issue launches and hit the dance floor with our readers. We've collaborated with Ladyfest Ottawa and even had the chance to release a compilation CD (Good Grooming For Girls) of amazing girl bands, with Permafrost Records. If you can't be a rock star, at least you can hang out with them!
The delivery truck will always be late. No matter how carefully you try to time the delivery of your magazines, the nice man who drives the truck will inevitably get stuck in traffic, get lost or stop for a sandwich. Life doesn't always go according to plan, and even control freaks like us need to go with the flow sometimes. Keep a book in your bag and you'll be fine.
It's better with a friend. Sharing editorial duties meant we always had someone to laugh with on the good days and commiserate with on the bad ones. Neither one of us was fond of group projects in school (perfectionists never are!), but Shameless taught us how rewarding collaboration can be when it's with the right person.
Feminism is not dead. We never thought it was, but people keep asking. They ask if the world "needs" feminism anymore, and if young women really care. Working on Shameless has proven to us that young women in Canada are interested in a wide range of feminist issues (from pop-culture representations of women to equity in education, health and sexuality to poor working conditions). They are active in their communities and read Shameless to discover new ideas, get in touch with one another and know that they're not alone in a world that can be pretty dismissive of feminism.
This has been one of the most important lessons of all, and the reason why we hope Shameless has a long and successful life as a grassroots, independent, feminist magazine. We are delighted to announce that Megan Griffith-Greene will be taking over as editor, starting with the next issue. Megan is a smart, energetic woman with experience as an activist and a journalist, who has worked at magazines large and small. She's got big plans for Shameless and we think you're going to love them.
We won't be disappearing completely, though. We plan to work behind the scenes to raise money and help Shameless grow. It's been an amazing three years and we'd like to thank you, dear reader, for your support and enthusiasm. We couldn't have done it without you.
Yours Shamelessly,
PS: If you'd like to keep in touch, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also say hello to Megan at email@example.com. And don't forget to send letters for publication to email@example.com.

François Pignon, a very bland sort of man who works as an accountant in a rubber factory, is about to be fired. His new neighbour comes up with an idea to prevent such a thing to happen: he spreads the rumor that he's gay so that the factory management might be afraid they'll be sued for sexual discrimination. Of course, nothing happens as it should, but the changes in François Pignon's life and other people's too is drastic! —IMDb
This prolific French writer and director originally intended to become a doctor but switched to journalism before finding his calling on the stage and screen. Francis Veber began his writing career while serving in the military, contributing to BLED, a publication of the Algerian Army. After his military discharge, he worked as a radio reporter and then segued to writing scripts for the TV series "L'Agence interim". In 1968, Veber enjoyed his first stage success with the play "L'Enlevement/The Kidnapping", which enjoyed an eight-month run in Paris. His second play, "Le Contrat/The Contract" led to a scripting assignment for the short film "Appelez-moi Mathilde/Call Me Mathilde" (1970).
With 1971's "Il etait une fois un flic/There Once Was a Cop" (1971), Veber began his feature career in earnest. For much of the 1970s, he served as writer of a number of successful, farcical comedies that recalled the work of Neil Simon in that most revolved around odd couples.

This climb starts near the far left side of the rock (about 10 feet left of What If You're Not?). Climb up the face to a small roof. Crank the roof with good holds and finish up to the top.
Bring a couple of stoppers (or better yet, cams) and about 10 feet worth of slings.
This route takes little gear and does have some poor rock. I placed a few small tricams and one stopper about 1/2 way up (just before the crux) and then ran it out for the top. The crux felt slightly more awkward than the other 5.8's here, but not much harder.
I tried following the (incipient) crack from the ground, but this is probably 5.9 X. The easiest start (also shown in Rossiter's topo) is shared with "Bar None", you can now clip the first bolt on that route and then head up and right. The crux roof is exciting but not too bad, if you do it the easiest way (and nothing breaks off).

MacBook Core Duo |
My Problem
Older macbook, but still a nice computer. After being dropped there were several cracks obscuring the display.
My Fix
I used the "long" technique completely removing the display from the laptop. It took me 2 hours to complete the disassembly and 90 minutes to put it back together again. The instructions were right on target, there are just a lot of little screws.
My Advice
I had an array of small metal parts cups to use as screw sorters. I ended up using 22 of them. It made re-assembly easy.
Don't be afraid, but don't be in a hurry. There were a couple of discrepancies with the instructions and I took notes to ensure error free re-assembly.
My Problem
My 4 year old son decided to be rough with the MacBook closing the lid one night.
My Fix
One order from you and 2.5 hours later the screen was replaced. Your guides rock.
My Advice
Set aside 2.5 to 3 hours to do this job completely.
My Problem
The backlight on my wife's MacBook Core 2 Duo was burned out - the computer turned on and worked well when plugged in to an external display, but the built-in display did not turn on. Actually, it did - as you could see the image on screen from a certain angle, but the backlight was not working. I had previous ordered the inverter board and cable, thinking that they were the problem, but after replacing them, the issue still remained. It was at that point that I returned those parts and ordered the LCD instead.
My Fix
The repair went pretty well - I had already done quite a bit of work on the inverter board replacement, so the second time around I was able to do things much more quickly. The two biggest hassles for me were dealing with all of the tiny plastic clips getting stuck to the display bezel, and getting the clutch cover back in place properly. The display worked great once everything was put back together. However, I apparently damaged the fan while I was working, as the fan now does not turn on. So that's another repair I'm in for... :-)
Here is my gallery of photos from my repair:
My Advice
Use a daily pill organizer to keep track of your screws. They have individual segments that are perfectly sized to keep track of screws, as well as closing/locking lids for each segment.
Make sure you're using the proper sized screwdrivers. The most useful one for me was a minuscule eyeglass-sized screwdriver. It was smaller than the phillips 000 screwdriver and worked wonders with many of the small internal screws, especially the ones holding the top case and display bezel on.
Also, everyone mentions this, but it can't be overemphasized, be really careful with the tiny plastic clips around the display bezel. They break really easily and can come flying off and skitter into a far corner of the room if you're not careful.
My Problem
My macbook screen started flickering a few weeks ago. The day after the flickering it died. A flashlight revealed that images were still on the screen, there was just no light.
I posted my situation and received a few suggestions. It seemed the best way to go was to replace the inverter and inverter cable. I did this and the problem remained the same.
I did some more research and found that others had posted that a screen replacement was a solution to their similar problem.
My Fix
I decided to try to replace the screen.
I ordered the part here and followed the guide from this site. The detailed guide made the replacement easy!
My Advice
I see this advice often, but it is very good advice: find a way to keep your screws organized. I drew a grid on the sticky side of duct tape and numbered it. I placed the screws on the grid and on a separate piece of paper wrote which number went where on the computer and what step it matched in the ifixit guide.
My Problem
Busted Macbook LCD screen.
My Fix
The part was delivered in 3 days about a week before the estimated date. They answered my questions via email within minutes. Following the repair guides was simple and had no issues taking the Macbook apart or putting it back together.
My Advice
Use iFixit for every mac repair
My Problem
The monitor backlight suddenly went dark. first i could easily relight it by turning the brightness full down and then up again, but it went worse day by day. the backlight kept working if i pulled the right upper corner of the monitor towards me and pushed the left one back. well, paperclip + rubber rings did help for some hours, but that wasnt really a solution.
My Fix
as said before by others, most of these problems are due to faulty backlight converters or -cables, but mine wasnt. wasted some money on them plus a set of display bezel clips, well, sort of my own fault oO but i felt them going bad fast also when i treated them the best i could.
another order anyhow brought me the new lcd and that finally fixed the problem. but i had to go through most of the guide one more time as i had first connected the backlight cable inproperly... --> very harassing, got me almost close to a nervous breakdown but luckily it worked in the end.
the new lcd now has a way cooler color spectrum which took me many many rounds and felt hours of calibration until the result was something close to pleasent
a funny by-fact was that the lcd came while i lay in hospital for an orbital enucleation and dermis fat transplantation so i can have a glass eye in the next weeks.
My Advice
1st: be careful with those display bezel clips and read the guide on how to do the remounting before messing around yourself. they're 20$ 12pcs which is definitely not worth the fun!
2nd: dont know how to advise on that one but including inverter+cable, bezel clips, lcd, shipping costs and taxes i paid close to 300€, which are quite a bigger sum in US $ and could easily have had me a full display mount including a brand new and perfectly mounted bezel...
but it seems like everyone with this problem has to go through the same steps since most of those problems might be caused only by the inverter thing.
My Problem
Cracked LCD screen on student mac.
My Fix
I have never worked on computers before! The videos and guides were awesome!!!! Explained everything very well and the pictures helped a great deal. This computer novice got the screen in place and WORKING:) with no problems!
My Advice
Take your time and it can be done!
My Problem
LCD screen slipped under corner of easy chair. I leaned forward to exit chair and heard cracking sound. Not good! My prized Macbook now had a cracked screen. I took it to the Mac Store and the Mac Connection and the estimates were hundreds of dollars and lose the computer for 10 days to 2 weeks. The LCD screen was $149 from iFixit.
My Fix
After watching the video, the repair went very smoothly. The toughest part was re-attaching the screen power plug located behind the hinge. As luck would have it, my wife had bought me a manicure kit for Christmas that contained the perfect tool for inserting the plug. That little ear cleaner made the job a snap. There are only three plugs and about 20 screws, but if you have some mechanical ability and a little bit of patience the job is not bad at all. One must exercise extreme caution when working with the plugs and making sure not to pinch the camera wires when re-aligning the screen in the case.
My Advice
1. Be very careful where you lay your laptop.
2. When considering a self repair on your laptop, watch the videos available so that you know where you are going and what is involved.
3. I found out that neither Apple or the Mac Connection were cooperative in selling me the part. Both insisted in shipping the computer off and having them do the installation at a drastically increased price. Apple quoted $300 and Mac Connection was talking $750. ifixit is truly a bargain! The screen arrived in 2 days via USPS Priority, and I had it installed withing an hour. The computer is working like new again and I am a very happy camper! Thank you ifixit!
My Problem
The backlight on my Macbook A1181 suddenly went dark. For about a month, I could toggle the brightness buttons between dark and the lowest setting to keep the backlight on. Eventually it became more and more difficult to keep the light on and I would have to toggle the brightness buttons every few minutes or more. The light would also go out with any slight movement of the screen. There was no particular angle that caused the problem but if the light was on, any movement would turn it off. It always worked just fine hooked up to an external display and I could use a flashlight held up to the screen and see the computer functioning properly just without the backlight.
My Fix
The repair went well and a new LCD screen fixed the problem. However before trying the screen I also replaced the inverter card and inverter cable which did not fix the problem.
My Advice
I printed the IFix it guide which was very helpful and taped the screws on each relevant page to keep them in order. According to my research, this problem can sometimes be caused by either the inverter card or cable but be aware that I wasted $70 replacing those and eventually had to replace the entire LCD. It was difficult to trouble shoot beyond those 3 parts so I would probably try the same repairs in order again since it was easier and cheaper to begin with the inverter card and cable first.

BA brings in Emin to oversee London 2012 'dove' project
British Airways is planning to decorate a number of its aircraft to look like doves in celebration of the London 2012 Olympic Games, in a project overseen by artist Tracey Emin.
Dove project: Pascal Anson and Tracey Emin
Pascal Anson, a British artist and one of the winners of BA's "Great Britons", a competition to tap into undiscovered British talent, has created the new designs for the planes, with artist Tracey Emin acting as a mentor.
The new design will be seen on planes from April. The airline is still determining the number of planes to be changed, stating that it will be at least eight, in operation all year.
Exact details of how the design will be different from BA's current livery are not yet available, but is expected the blue parts will be painted white. BA said the plane's tailfin and logo will remain intact.
According to BA, it used to be a tradition to set doves free during the Games.

Garlic (Allium Sativum) is a plant with a very strong and bitter flavor which has been used for both culinary and medical purposes for hundreds of years. The key medicinal ingredient in garlic is allicin, which is known to have wonderful anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties.
Garlic can be used to treat high cholestrol, parasites, respiratory problems, poor digestion, and low energy. Studies suggest that regularly eating garlic helps lower blood pressure, controls blood sugar and blood cholesterol, and boosts the immune system. It has also been found to reduce the risk of esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer.
Note that it is not recommended to take garlic in its raw form, since the enzyme necessary to produce allicin may be destroyed in the stomach before having any positive effect. For this reason, dried or powdered garlic tablets are more suitable to take advantage of garlic's immune-boosting qualities. Studies have shown that other forms of garlic such as cooked garlic, pickled garlic, and aged garlic are also beneficial.

Recipe by reneebiscoe
"My husband loves venison, and I'm always trying to come up with creative things to do with it. This is by far one of his favorite dishes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Italian dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound venison tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper to taste
5 cups arugula
1 lemon, cut into quarters
This was to die for!! I had more time than I thought I would have so I marinated the tenderloin bites in a mixture of garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and lemon. The tenderloins just melted in my mouth and my boyfriend and sister (who rarely eats meat) loved it and asked me to make it again the next night.
This was my first time cooking venison and I didn't know what to expect so I avoided buying special ingredients (didn't want to waste the $ if it wasn't going to taste good). Instead, I used panko breadcrumbs and added Italian seasoning; also subbed dried chervil for parsley, and didn't serve it with any greens. The recipe didn't say where to add the salt and pepper, so I did as I usually do and seasoned the meat prior to breading it. The venison was good, despite my overcooking it. It didn't blow me away, though.
45 Ratings
FANTASTIC! Prepared exactly as the recipe outlined and it was delicious. We usually section off the loin, tenderize the meat and then bread and fry - this has a very similar flavor without all the hassle of frying - keeper, keeper, keeper! One thing to add, my oven has a LO and a HI broil setting, I prepared these on the LO setting and they came out perfect - 3 minutes per side.
A wonderful combination of flavors for a cut of meat that can't be messed up. I didn't serve over arugula, but served them as a kind of venison nuggets. Not crunchy, or soggy, just very tender. Very nice!
This is my FAVORITE way to prepare tenderloins! Instead of lining my pan with foil, I used a well seasoned baking stone to add even more crispiness. We also like it in the winter on rice or sauteed spinach.
I actually really enjoyed this recipe and so did all of my roommates. (Which is rare!) It was very easy to make and had a nice presentation. The only changes I made the second time around was to try it out with some stir fry instead of arugula and it turned out very well. (Also, the boys liked it better because it felt more "filling" than just the greens suggested in the original recipe.) In any case, very tasty and very easy. Thanks for sharing! :)
My family loved it. Had a little problem with the breading on the bottom sticking to the pan.
My husband shot a deer on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday evening we enjoyed this recipe with the tenderloins... O M G! This was wonderful, thanks so much for sharing!!! So easy and soooo yummy:)

SEMA Board Elections
Lynn Ramey
last modified
Nov 16, 2010 01:01 PM
It's time to elect new board members! The board is elected by the membership for a three year term. We strive to represent all areas of interest. The board members meet at the annual meeting to oversee the organization and to vote on issues that arise during the year. The board members also constitute the editorial board for Medieval Perspectives. Below are bios for the candidates for each position. For the position in French vacated by Shira Schwam-Baird: 1) Minnie Blackmon SANGSTER 2) Mary Jane SCHENCK For the position in Art History vacated by Libby Bailey 1) Anne-Marie BOUCHÉ
2) Carlee A. BRADBURY For the position in History vacated by Susan Laningham 1) Laura SMOLLER 2) Elizabeth DACHOWSKI Elizabeth Dachowski, associate professor of History at Tenneessee State University in Nashville, earned her M.A. (1988) and Ph.D. (1995) in Medieval History at the University of Minnesota under the dircetion of Bernard S. Bachrach. Her research interests focus on monastic and political history of France in the later tenth century, but she has frequently branched off into neighboring regions (notably England and Gascony) and related fields (poetry, notarial registers, travel and trade). Her teaching interests include World History and all aspects of pre-modern European history (anything before 1700), and she has a strong commitment to bringing the study of primary sources into the classroom at all levels of study. She first attended a SEMA meeting as a graduate student, and has been continuously enrolled as a member since permanently relocating to the southeast in 1999. She served on SEMA's board from 2002 until 2005. She received SEMA's prize for best first book for First Among Abbots: The Career of Abbo of Fleury in 2009. If elected to serve on the board, she is looking forward to playing a role in the many high-quality programs in which SEMA is engaged, including the annual conference, sessions at national and regional conferences, awards for teaching and scholarship, and Medieval Perspectives.For the position in English vacated by Warren Edminster 1) Dana-Linn Whiteside
2) Lisa LEBLANC Document Actions |

It may be poking fun at the fact that exorbitantly expensive It bags are over, but this Longchamp "It Bag" Vertical Tote ($340) has stolen my heart. Could it be because it has French writing on it? Maybe. But mostly it's because it talks cheeky and looks chic without costing a fortune. Plus, it's canvas, thus super relevant to the times. I could see this bag meshing at the supermarket as well as at trendy soirees.

The University seeks to attract applicants of the highest quality and potential, regardless of background. Decisions on the admission of students will be based solely on the individual merits of each candidate and the application of selection criteria appropriate to the course of study.
The University's equality policy can be found here:
All UK undergraduate applicants are invited to declare their ethnicity when making a university application via UCAS. UCAS does not release this data to universities until after decisions on admissions have been taken. Around 6.5% of UK applicants to Oxford do not declare their ethnic origin.
The percentage of all Oxford students of known ethnicity who are BME (black and minority ethnic) is 22%. This includes undergraduates and postgraduates, across all years, of all nationalities. The proportion of UK undergraduate students of known ethnicity who are BME is 13%.
These figures show the ethnic origin of UK undergraduate students who disclosed their ethnicity at application for the 2012 entry cycle.
In 2012, around 15% of white students taking A levels and applying to university through UCAS gained AAA or higher, and a similar proportion of BME students overall gained AAA or higher. Among Black students, 6% gained AAA or higher.
In numbers: more than 34,000 white students got three As or better at A-level in 2012, compared to nearly 7,100 BME students, of whom 946 were Black.[Source: UCAS data]
Of the more than 34,000 white students who got three As or better at A-level and applied to university through UCAS in 2012, around 26% applied to Oxford. Of the nearly 7,100 BME students who got three As or better at A level and applied to university through UCAS, around 27% applied to Oxford; 946 Black students got three As or better at A level and applied to university through UCAS, and 36% of them applied to Oxford.
As the table above shows, some ethnic groups had a lower success rate in the 2012 entry cycle than the average.
The University continues to explore possible reasons for the disparity in success rates. One contributory factor that has been explored is subject choice.
Reflecting a national pattern of university applications, BME students tend to apply disproportionately for many of the most oversubscribed courses. This contributes to (though does not wholly explain) the lower success rates for the group as a whole.

OTTAWA (CP) — Marc Garneau is test-firing the engines on his leadership campaign, but he's not ready for liftoff just yet.
The Montreal MP, Canada's first astronaut, says he's in "stage three" of deciding whether to run for the leadership of the federal Liberal party.
Garneau says he's ticked off the first two stages: determining whether there's support for his candidacy and whether he has something unique to offer in the contest.
Now, he's in the process of determining whether he can pull together an experienced team to raise money, sign up supporters and organize an effective campaign.
The once-mighty Liberals, reduced to a third-party rump in the 2011 election, are to choose a new leader in April.
The party is expected to unveil some of the rules for the contest — including the entry fee and spending limit — early next month at a Liberal caucus retreat.
Most potential contenders, including presumptive front-runner Justin Trudeau, are waiting to see the rules before making a final decision.
But Garneau said the rules will have no bearing on his decision, which he intends to make "sometime this fall." Regardless of the spending limit, he said he'll only spend as much money as he can raise.

Even though I can usually wait for a gadget's hype to die down, I had to stand in line for the iPhone 3G — I have a reputation to uphold!
Standing in line for a gadget teaches you something about yourself. Mainly that I hate everyone. Just kidding! I'm not some misanthrope, it just inevitably happens that the people I stand near in lines end up being people I can't wait to never see again.

Posted in Blogging | Codes & Regulations | Current Events | Information Technology | Politics | Social Media by Brad Breneisen (Graphic Design) on January 20, 2012
As many of you may have noticed, January 18th was Internet Blackout Day in an unbelievably successful attempt for many of the web's heaviest hitters to show their strong disapproval of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). As companies like Google, Wikipedia, and WordPress "blacked out" their content and urged users to endorse their opposition to the bill, SOPA and PIPA's sponsors started to run for the hills, but the lawmakers haven't backed down – even as the amount of endorsements against the bills allegedly shut down congress' switchboards and melted their servers.
Lawmakers are touting SOPA as a way to stop online piracy of copyrighted content. This is nothing new and there are bills such as Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DCMA) which aims to remove unauthorized content. SOPA/PIPA are different because they would make the platform or website accountable for how individuals are using it and make monitoring demands that are unrealistic. It seems to me like the same principle would make firearm manufacturers accountable for crimes committed with their products.
Larson Design Group is an employee owned company that accomplishes many of its own overhead tasks in-house. This includes our web presence which is a team effort by our marketing, graphic design, and IT staff and it includes our website, blog, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. These operations could be outsourced to agencies that use their own proprietary software as a "competitive edge" over free products like Google Analytics, but they have a tendency to get you in over your head. While the proprietary products may be more useful for specific niches, many free products online can get you where you want to be. Our website and blog run on WordPress which is highly utilized by small businesses, large corporations and individual entrepreneurs alike who want the ability to SELF-publish frequent content in a format that is highly searchable and trackable due to its connectivity with Google and other search engines. It's really made the web more responsive to people's needs and provided some much needed consistency/quality control in web design and has had a huge impact on blogging. We also use Google products to alert us about where we're featured on the web and other useful web based products free of charge. I won't ramble on about Wikipedia, Facebook, etc. In a way, these types of services have put the power of the web into the hands of the people. I just hope a few offenders don't ruin it for everyone.
The consensus seems to be that SOPA & PIPA would put a halt to online innovation and make such pioneers as Google and Wikipedia unfeasible from startup. Many agree that while the legislation may have some good intentions it would "throw out the baby with the bathwater," by hindering free speech, and make for a less democratic internet. In effect, the bills could help decrease pirated content (a good thing in my opinion), but will also make hefty lawsuits warranted for a video on YouTube that has a pop song playing in the background or for sharing a link on Facebook.
Political support from the bills stems from the entertainment industry and the financial losses they have experienced as the internet has continued to develop.
If you are interested in learning more about this legislation, refer to the links below. I have made an attempt to show content from both sides, but can't find much in support of it. If you have read any coverage on these events, especially in support of the legislation, please share.

OK...I'm sure we all could debate for hours on who's the best teacher ever...but Mr. Sergeant certainly left a lasting impression on me! Mr. Sergeant (aka Sarge) was my art teacher in high school...I actually took every art class he taught. My senior year I took Independent Study with him because I had taken all the art classes he taught by that time. He wasn't your typical teacher!
Sarge is an amazing artist and his passion for art always came through in his classes. He didn't care how talented you were as long as he knew you had tried your hardest. If he thought you skimped on a project or gave it less than 100%, he certainly let you know! Sarge was also one of the football coaches...so he was very vocal. He "kicked" our butts into gear for sure! I was constantly challenged to reach within myself and create art.
What has really left the biggest lasting impression on me though, is not Sarge's talent as an artist, or his ability to teach art. What really stands out is that he cared about every single one of his students. He didn't care what your last name was, if you were an athlete, an honor student, or if your parents were members of the PTA. He didn't care if you were straight, gay, or bisexual. He didn't care if you were a walking American Eagle ad or if you had an anarchy patch sewn onto your surplus army jacket and your hair was long (does this date me?). Every student had the same potential to Sarge. He encouraged all of us to be ourselves and to never give up on ourselves. I'm sure all of us remember those teachers who did care about that stuff, and how they treated students differently....maybe some of you were that student that didn't fit in. I feel like he would make a point to challenge those students that other teachers had dismissed or given up on.
Sarge is an example of what I think all teachers should be. He's more than just someone standing up at a chalk board drilling facts and concepts into kids' heads. He cares about more than whether you get an A...he wants every student to evolve, be strong, have confidence. I remember my senior year when I started dating my future ex-husband. Sarge heard me talking about my new boyfriend to a friend and in a not-so-subtle way says..."make sure to always use a parachute when jumping out of a plane!....But then why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good plane?" I remember laughing at him then...but now I think about how many teachers would never dare to tell their students to be safe. Teachers can have a huge impact on developing minds and it's important to realize that their behavior can positively or negatively shape those minds.
After I graduated I came back to visit Sarge. I had lost about 20 pounds and the first thing Sarge does is tell me I need to gain weight...that I'm too skinny and have no muscle tone...lol...he was never shy about telling a student his mind and that's one thing I really respect about him. He taught me so much about be creative...and at the same time he taught me to treat everyone with the same dignity and respect.

Mom and depression: motherhood sadness that doesn't go away
If mom ain't happy no one is happy." The quippish slogan is often said in jest, yet depression among mothers is no laughing matter.
Writes the Mayoclinic.com, "About 1 in 8 women develop depression at some point in life. Women are nearly twice as likely as are men to struggle with depression at some point. Depression can occur at any age, but it is most common in women between the ages of 25 and 44." Read more….
Raising kids to embrace diversity in others, be inclusive
"Children don't come with instructions, but they do come with open minds," writes Christopher Metzler, Ph.D., an authority on issues of diversity and inclusion. How can you encourage your kids to remain open-minded and to celebrate diversity?
Metzler suggests that once kids start to comment about differences they notice in others, that parents listen to the language they use. If your child uses hurtful words, discuss why they're hurtful. Explain, according to their age, why stereotypes don't tell the whole story and can be divisive.
Growing up, my parents regularly exposed my siblings and me to artifacts, ideas and foods from other countries, the result of their travels all over the world. They were so excited to explore other cultures that by default, so was I. In our home "different" meant interesting — not scary. Read more….
When is it okay to let your teenager get cosmetic surgery?
BullyingStatistics.org reports that in 2010, one in seven children grades kindergarten through 12th was a bully or a victim of one. With the surge of social media, schoolyard teasing can become a viral onslaught, forcing some teenagers into acts of desperation.
Child psychologist Richard Gallagher told ABC News Nightline ("Bullied on Facebook, Teen, 13, Gets Nose Job," Oct. 2011), parents should keep kids off social media until they're at least 15. And while a child might be physically ready for plastic surgery, he says the child not be emotionally prepared. Gallagher suggests instead of surgery, parents teach kids how to combat bullying.

Tiger or pussycat mom? Amy Chua's book stirs parenting controversy
Amy Chua makes no apologies because she once called her daughter "garbage." As a child, her father called her garbage after she was disrespectful to her mother. "It worked really well. I felt terrible and deeply ashamed of what I had done. But it didn't damage my self-esteem," Chua writes in her Jan. 8, 2011, article for The Wall Street Journal online.
Chua says Chinese moms and dads demand their kids respect them and excel, forcing children by cultural default to live up to their parents' highest expectations in every area: discipline, school, music and even appearance. Read more…

Marriage After Baby – At Home Date Nights & More Tips to Gradually Re-ignite
It's natural for new parents to settle in at home with their baby, to "cocoon," too exhausted to go out and too anxious to leave their child with a babysitter or even trusted parents and in-laws.
As priorities re-order couple time often gets pushed aside. Yet often putting the marriage on the back-burner becomes a permanent pattern in the family and over time, the relationship suffers, the kids notice.
Children can sense when their parents begin to seem emotionally distant. The unspoken hostility, (or spoken), the disconnect between the couple creates a family "climate" that can feel off-balance. This marital "gap" can start very gradually (see my post on divorces due to "low conflict" marriages) and over time widen into a great relationship chasm.
And it's really no surprise.
New mothers rarely have the time, energy or interest to do much more than keep up with the growing demands of their baby and new demands. In addition a new mother's body and biochemistry is often still re-adjusting which affects mood, stamina and sleep.
Sleep understandably becomes mom's best friend, watching television the easiest and least expensive entertainment. Exhaustion and the added responsibilities of combing parenting with all other aspects of her life, particularly for a woman whose husband doesn't share her load, can begin to create quiet, simmering disconnect in the marriage. The husband's might begin to feel resentful that while he and his wife are deeply grateful, and the baby is the new love of his life, the baby also takes center stage, replacing the attention, intimacy and connection he once shared with his wife.
Click for Marriage after Baby Books
As a result, I suggest new parents begin re-connecting as soon as possible, starting small, but making a mindful effort to nurture their relationship from time to time.
What's Good for the Parents is Good for the Children
"Kids whose parents' relationship has cooled are more likely to have behavioral or academic problems than kids of happy couples," says Philip Cowan, PhD, in the Parents.com article "Happy Parents, Happy Kids.
"Dr. Cowan and his wife, psychologist Carolyn Pape Cowan, PhD. have studied families for decades "Even if you can't see yourself going out on a date for yourselves, do it for your kids," says Dr. Cowan.
And while there's no timetable for when new parents should get their marriage back on track particularly because the physical and life transition can feel different for each woman, there are simple ways couples can gradually begin to re-ignite their pre-baby relationship.
Making an effort to make the marriage as important as parenting sets the priorities for the future of the relationship, particularly once the kids are out of the house and the couple faces an empty nest.
Dating Again: Bistro in a Bag for Nervous First Time Parents
While spit up and dirty diapers are hardly props for a romantic evening, even small sporadic moments can help couples re-connect. At home date nights, while not ideal when a child is young and in constant need of attention, can set the stage for couples to put their relationship as priority.
It doesn't take much to create a spontaneous romantic setting if the baby is asleep. Parents can set up the following in a pleasant area of the home such as the front or back porch or on a blanket in the family room by the fire.
The at home date night might include:
- Table cloth
- Small blanket (for picnic style)
- Two elegant placemats and cloth napkins
- Candle in a protected candle holder (aromatherapy is ideal)
- Lighter Small FM radio or CD player
- Relaxing, upbeat or romantic CD
- Flowers from the garden, or inexpensive bouquet from the grocery store
- Soothing or energetic aromatherapy air spray.
A no-hassle delectable plate of finger foods can be an easy and fun dinner, raw veggies, frozen appetizers, cheese, salami, crackers, crusty breads with dips, olives, essentially an Italian antipasto platter that makes for a flavorful, interesting meal with easy clean up.
Click for Marriage after Baby Books
"Relationship re-entry" as I call it, is reason enough to pull out the good china, letting the dirty dishes soak overnight, taking a break from clean up. Even small efforts like these that put the focus back on couple time, while seeming impractical for parents trying to juggle a baby, send a message to the brain, "our relationship matters."
No matter what the couple does for an at home or outside date night, the point is to put the focus back on the relationship on a regular basis. If going out for wine and a gourmet meal or setting an elegant table at home isn't what feels right, then taquitos and takeout with some good conversation is fine. It's not what the couple does, only that from time to time, they focus on each other.
Flexible Fondue for Home Date Night
Who doesn't love food drenched in melted cheese or rich chocolate? Fondue offers a convenient way for parents to create an impromptu romantic dinner that can hold up to interruptions. Baby starts to cry? Turn off the pot and re-light later.
Inexpensive fondue pots are available online or at local discount retailers (sometimes these are only seasonal during the holidays). Dippers can be very inexpensive and include anything that tastes good covered in cheese or chocolate (almost everything), a loaf of crusty French bread broken it into bites, some cauliflower and broccoli florets, sliced carrots, pretzels, strawberries, mini brownies etc.
Pre-made cheese and chocolate fondue packages are available at most grocery stores and while the cheese packets can be pricey, it's easier and more affordable than buying the assorted grated cheeses, wine, and Kirsch (often used in fondue) and trying to mix the perfect pot.
Regular Communication Keeps Parent Connected
Parents often move to autopilot, moving from day-to-day, joyful and appreciative for their child and each other, yet unaware of what they may be leaving behind, communication and couple time. One of the most important habits new parents can adopt for their family's long-term emotional health is to regularly talk about how they feel.
Ideally couples might try sitting down once a week, putting on calm music and talking, disconnecting cell phones, letting the answering machine pick up, because while the world can wait, the relationship can't. If parents get interrupted because the baby is awake or needs attention, the effort alone sends a positive message to the couple and over time, to the children. Kids who see their parents making their own relationship as important as the children's', receive, in my personal opinion, powerful and positive messaging.
As the family grows and the demands exponentially increase, making couple time a regular priority becomes a juggling game and a matter of choice, but doing so is critical to maintain a healthy long-term marriage.
Couples should try to keep the conversation honest yet non-defensive and constructive, steering away from "You never, you always" and instead explain what he/she appreciates, then what they need. For example mom might say, "I really appreciate that you do (x,y,z) and you're a phenomenal dad, but when you come home from work and want to decompress and I've been with the baby all day I need you to either take over with her, make dinner or pick up dinner so that I can get some time to myself, go for a walk, whatever."
Couples Benefit from Informal Climate Survey
One way to foster positive communication that's a little more goal-oriented is to do an informal "climate survey" after the baby is about three to six months old, when the massive changes begin to settle into a "new normal." A climate survey is a process companies use to measure employee satisfaction and to spot potential red flags. And while it sounds formal, the concept is something I use to simply describe couples making a habit of touching base with each other, with getting a feel for the overall tone in their family.
To begin, parents ask each other how they generally feel in their lives, then about their expectations and short and long-term goals, noting how these areas have changed since becoming parents. Some questions might include:
- "How do you feel physically and mentally?" (Mom needs to pay special attention to her physical and emotional health)."
- "What has surprised you about the changes that come with parenting? What are your unexpected joys and disappointments?"
- "What realistic changes can I/you/we make?"
Couples should strive to be non-defensive and completely honest. They should avoid statements like "You always, you never" and instead say "I feel that" and "I would really appreciate if." The goal isn't to sugarcoat, stuff feelings or to avoid conflict, but rather to foster communication in a non-defensive manner, to provide useful constructive feedback for the health of the marriage, and to build a solid family foundation based on regular communication.
Click for Marriage after Baby Books
While re-igniting the marriage after a new baby is inherently challenging as priorities dramatically shift, couples who take a gradual and realistic approach to reconnecting with each other as soon as possible, communicating regularly and creating date nights, are building a healthy dynamic and model for their relationship and for their children's future relationships.
Children only know what they see and what they sense. Twenty years from now will your kids see a parents who were (for the most part), emotionally connected or parents who were living under the same roof but slowly drifting apart, parents who lived for the lives of their kids, but forgot about the life of their marriage?

Favorite thing:
I can't actually say what my favourite thing about Kefalonia is except to say that as soon as I step off the plane I feel like I have just arrived home. There is just something magical about the Island that I can't explain that keeps drawing me back. I still like to try different Greek Islands but not one of them as yet has taken the the place of my number one favourite holiday destination and I know I will always return time and time again for my holiday. The one place which I have always taken family to when they come to Kefalonia for the first time is to Melissani Lake and Drogarati Cave, but there is still plenty more to see, lovely beaches, the bluest seas I have ever seen, villages, old churches etc, so make sure you hire a car and tour around the Island as it would be a shame to miss anything. There is still lots of places I have yet to see and I have been to the Island three times now. If you can't drive try and go on the Island Tour which is what we did the first time we went.
Fondest memory:
My fondest memory of Kefalonia is how friendly the people are and how they made you feel very welcome. I miss looking out at the clear blue sea every day.
Favorite thing: If you are going to spend any length of time in Cephalonia it is imperative you read Louis De Bernieres novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Don't take the shortcut and watch the movie, it does no justice to this story. The novel is a fantastic story of history, love and culture which will truly enrich your experience
Favorite thing:
It was 43 degrees celsius one day when we were in Fiscardo. Take lots of sun screen and always have cold water with you. Very important to keep your fluid intake up etc etc....
Things to pack if going out - sun glasses, sun hat, sun screen, after sun, little fan, cold water
Favorite thing:
The Ikaros Boat trip was the most spectacular trip we went on,with views of the other Islands,Fantastic.
Fondest memory:
My fondest memory will be the friendliness of the people and how welcome they made us.
The colors of the sea,being so blue.
One of those people that deserves a special mention is Tina, from Capt Corellis Taverna
(Thank you for making us so welcome) and the many others too many to mention,Thank you all.
Favorite thing:
This is a beautiful island with lots to see and do. However, I highly recommend you rent a car to get around. Many of the interesting things to see lie scattered around the island, and it's just easiest to drive there yourself. I think they have tour buses and things, but if you do that you'll miss the opportunity to stop in the tiny villages you pass by, and see how Kefalonians really live. It's also the most convenient way to see places like Myrtos Beach and Assos.
Fondest memory:
On the map we had, it showed paved and well-travelled roads in red, and unpaved, possibly more difficult roads in orange. We took one of the orange roads, just to see what it was like (we could always turn back, right?), and came across the tiniest, most out of the way village I've ever seen. I think it had about 3 houses and a tiny little shop that looked like someone's house. It had shelves all over the walls, with only a few lonely unmarked bottles on them. The old man with one good eye sitting in the corner startled us when we walked in because we didn't realize he was there. Since all we wanted was a bottle of water, we went to the cooler. Inside was some fresh meat covered in clingfilm, a few jars of unnamed substances, and 3 bottles of water. We took two, somehow figured out how much they were from the man's gesturings, and went on our way. And before you go thinking we really had just wandered into someone's house, I should defend myself - I'm reasonably certain it was a shop.
Also on this road were olive groves and a man herding his goats. Other than that, I don't think we came across a single other car. It was beautiful, and I'm glad we took the chance.
Favorite thing: Argostoli, the capital of Kephalonia, is by far the more lively of the two major cities of the island. It has a relatively vibrant nightlife, centered along its main square and road. But, one of the main reasons I prefer Sami, is that there is no beach within walking distance of the city, and that the "lively" or "vibrant" can quickly turn into "over-crowded". The main square is really nice, and it has ample benches to sit on and enjoy the weather, as I did. A good journal entry spot. All around the square lie restaurants of every kind and shopping is very good.
Favorite thing: In my opinion, Sami is the better of the two major cities of Kephalonia. It is without a doubt the more quiet, and it is closer to the caves, Andisami beach, and the other Captain Correli sites. Myrtos beach, the number one attraction of the island, is about equidistant from either city, so I with the previous things I named, I give Sami the lead. However, this is reasoning that follows the thought process of you wanting a relaxing and quiet time. Argostoli has much more energy and provides a nightlife, which is absolutely non-existent in Sami. It just depends on what oyu are here for.
Favorite thing: Everywhere on the Island you come across beautiful flowers that fill the air with there wonderful scent.
Favorite thing:
Trying out local dishes is a favorite passtime of mine whilst on holiday, the diet always goes out of the window, but who can blame me with dishes like these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fondest memory:
Absolutly fantastic

Texture for watercolour – woo!
This was pretty exciting for me – since I love texture so much…
The medium felt and worked like thin apple sauce… granule porridge. So the texture is pretty subtle – definitely not a molding paste for watercolour. But still… texture!
