Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Pieter Bruegel the Elder | |
The Painter and The Connoisseur, c. 1565 is thought to be Bruegel's self-portrait.
Birth name | Pieter Brueghel |
Born | c. 1525 Bree, Duchy of Brabant, Habsburg Netherlands (modern-day Belgium) |
Died | 9 September 1569 Brussels, Duchy of Brabant, Habsburg Netherlands (modern-day Belgium) |
(age 44)
Field | Painting, printmaking |
Movement | Dutch and Flemish Renaissance |
Works | Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, The Hunters in the Snow, The Peasant Wedding |
Pieter Bruegel (Brueghel) the Elder (/ˈbrɔɪɡəl/;[1] Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpitəɾ ˈbɾøːɣəl]; c. 1525 – 9 September 1569) was a Flemish Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes (so called genre painting). He is sometimes referred to as the "Peasant Bruegel." From 1559 he dropped the 'h' from his name and signed his paintings as Bruegel.
The main source for Bruegel's biography is Karel van Mander's 1604 Schilder-boeck.[2] According to van Mander, he was born in Breugel near the (now Dutch) town of Breda. There are however also records that show that he was born in Breda, and there is some uncertainty whether the (now Belgian) town of Bree, called Breda in Latin, is meant.[3] He was an apprentice of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, whose daughter Mayken he later married. He spent some time in France and Italy, and then went to Antwerp, where in 1551 he was accepted as a master in the painter's guild. He traveled to Italy soon after, and then returned to Antwerp before settling in Brussels permanently 10 years later.
He received the nickname 'Peasant Bruegel' or 'Bruegel the Peasant' for his alleged practice of dressing up like a peasant in order to mingle at weddings and other celebrations, thereby gaining inspiration and authentic details for his genre paintings. He died in Brussels on 9 September 1569 and was buried in the Kapellekerk.
Historical background[edit]
Bruegel was born at a time of extensive change in Western Europe. Humanist ideals from the previous century influenced artists and scholars in Europe. Italy was at the end of their High Renaissance of arts and culture, when artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci painted their masterpieces. In 1517, about eight years before Bruegel's birth, Martin Luther created his Ninety-Five Theses and began the Protestant Reformation in neighboring Germany. The Catholic Church impinged increasingly more upon the European way of life and art. Perhaps most importantly for artists, the Council of Trent in 1545 determined what art was appropriate in Catholic states.
At this time, the Netherlands was divided into seventeen provinces, some of which wanted separation from the Catholic Church, which controlled the provinces from their bastion in Spain. The Netherlands were influenced by the newly Lutheran Germany to the east and the newly Anglican England to the west, as evidenced by the rise of Protestantism. Since the Hapsburg monarchs of Spain were the enforcers of the Catholic Church and the Catholic Counter-Reformation in Western Europe, Protestantism in the Netherlands came heavily under fire.
The Spanish monarch, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, passed the Edict of Blood in 1550. Death was the penalty for heresy to the Catholic Church; however, Charles did not enforce this edict. His son, Philip II of Spain, whose actions became a source of great unrest in the Netherlands during the 1560s, enforced the Edict of Blood. Calvinism became increasingly popular in the Netherlands despite the threat of death. Philip's murder plot against a Netherlandish prince, William the Silent, the ever-present Spanish soldiers led by the hated Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba and Calvinist riots brought the Netherlands to the brink of rebellion.
This was the atmosphere in which Bruegel reached the height of his career as a painter. Two years before Bruegel's death, the Eighty Years' War began between the Netherlands (led by William the Silent) and Spain. Although Bruegel did not live to see it, seven provinces became Protestant, while the other ten remained under Catholic control at the end of the war.[4]
Bruegel specialized in genre paintings populated by peasants, often with a landscape element, but he also painted religious works. Making the life and manners of peasants the main focus of a work was rare in painting in Bruegel's time, and he was a pioneer of the Netherlandish genre painting. His earthy, unsentimental but vivid depiction of the rituals of village life—including agriculture, hunts, meals, festivals, dances, and games—are unique windows on a vanished folk culture and a prime source of iconographic evidence about both physical and social aspects of 16th century life. For example, the painting Netherlandish Proverbs illustrates dozens of then-contemporary aphorisms (many of them still in use in current Dutch or Flemish), and Children's Games shows the variety of amusements enjoyed by young people. His winter landscapes of 1565 (e.g. The Hunters in the Snow) are taken as corroborative evidence of the severity of winters during the Little Ice Age.
Using abundant spirit and comic power, he created some of the early images of acute social protest in art history. Examples include paintings such as The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (a satire of the conflicts of the Reformation) and engravings like The Ass in the School and Strongboxes Battling Piggybanks. On his deathbed, he reportedly ordered his wife to burn the most subversive of his drawings to protect his family from political persecution resulting from conflicts between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.[5]
The virtues and vices[edit]
During the late 1550s in Antwerp, Bruegel designed engravings for the leading publisher of the city, Hieronymous Cock, at the House of the Four Winds. He achieved the greatest success with a series of allegories: The Seven Deadly Sins and The Virtues. It is easy to see Hieronymous Bosch's influence in these engravings: the sinners are grotesque and unidentifiable while the allegories of virtue often wear odd headgear.[6]
By 1558, Bruegel began painting more than drawing or carving. He primarily painted religious scenes in a Flemish setting, such as in his paintings, Conversion of Paul and The Sermon of St. John the Baptist. In the 1560s, Bruegel began painting the ordinary life of peasants, hence his nickname, "Peasant Bruegel". Often Bruegel painted a community event, as in The Peasant Wedding and The Fight Between Carnival and Lent. In paintings like The Peasant Wedding, Bruegel painted individual, identifiable people while the people in The Fight Between Carnival and Lent are unidentifiable, muffin-faced allegories of greed or gluttony.
Although Bruegel often painted scenes of carousing and community gatherings, he often accurately depicted cripples or people with disabilities. Perhaps one of Bruegel's most famous paintings was The Blind Leading the Blind. Not only was Bruegel's subject matter unusual, but it also depicted a quote from the Bible: "If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch" (Matthew 15:14). Using the Bible to interpret this painting, the six blind men are symbols of the blindness of mankind in pursuing earthly goals instead of focusing on Christ's teachings.
Even if Bruegel's subject matter was unconventional, the religious ideals and proverbs driving his paintings were typical of the Northern Renaissance. The Flemish provided a large artistic audience for proverb-filled paintings because proverbs were well known and recognizable as well as entertaining. One of Bruegel's most famous paintings was Netherlandish Proverbs, painted in 1559. The majority of Bruegel's paintings have many different actions occurring at once, but this painting, with about 80 proverbs, must have been one of his most symbolically laden paintings.[7]
Months of the year[edit]
Paintings of proverbs were not Bruegel's only subjects. In 1565, a wealthy patron in Antwerp, Niclaes Jonghelinck commissioned him to paint a series of paintings of each month of the year. Today, only five of these paintings survive and some of the months are paired to form a general season. Traditional Flemish books of hours (e.g. the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry[8]; 1416) had calendar pages that included depictions of what the social life, the weather, and the landscape supposedly would have looked like for that month.
Bruegel's paintings were on a larger scale than a typical calendar page painting, each one approximately three feet by five feet. For Bruegel, this was a large commission (the size of a commission was based on how large the painting was) and an important one. In 1565, the Calvinist riots began and it was only two years before the Eighty Years' War broke out. Bruegel may have felt safer with a secular commission so as to not offend Calvinist or Catholic.[9] Some of the most famous paintings from this series included The Hunters in the Snow (December–January) and The Harvesters (August).
Pieter the Elder had two sons: Pieter Brueghel the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder (both changed their name to Brueghel). Their grandmother, Mayken Verhulst, trained the sons because "the Elder" died when both were very small children. The older brother, Pieter Brueghel, was not the better painter of the two; he copied his father's style but without any degree of great talent. Jan was more successful; he turned to the Baroque style and even collaborated with Peter Paul Rubens on the Allegory of Sight.[10]
His painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus is the subject of the 1938 poem "Musée des Beaux Arts" by W. H. Auden:
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.[11]
It also was the subject of a 1960 poem by William Carlos Williams.
Bruegel's painting, Two Monkeys, was the subject of Wisława Szymborska 1957 poem, "Brueghel's Two Monkeys".[12]
Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky referenced Bruegel's paintings in his films several times, notably Solaris (1972) and The Mirror (1975).
His 1564 painting The Procession to Calvary inspired the 2011 Polish-Swedish film co-production The Mill and the Cross, in which Bruegel is played by Rutger Hauer.
Bruegel's paintings in the Kunsthistorisches Museum are shown in the 2012 film, Museum Hours, where his work is discussed at length by a guide.
It is believed that his painting The Hunters in the Snow influenced the classic short story with the same title written by Tobias Wolff and featured in In the Garden of the North American Martyrs.
There are about 45 authenticated surviving paintings, one third of which are in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. A number of others are known to have been lost. There are a large number of drawings. Bruegel only etched one plate himself, The Rabbit Hunt, but designed many engravings and etchings, mostly for the Cock publishing house.

I am genotyping mouse cells after cre-mediated knockout. The gene has LoxP sites with intron 1 and intron 10, so a large portion of the gene is deleted. To detect deletion by PCR, forward primer anneals within intron 1 and reverse intron 10, which gives a 600bp product. However, I also get a non-specific product. Genomic DNA from control (floxed sample, no knockout) and gene knockout samples both produce a product that is around 660bp. I sequenced the PCR product and the results are confusing (gel purified band, TOPO TA cloned and sequenced).
Clone 1: sequence at 5' end was the reverse complement of the 3' end - i.e. my reverse primer
Clone 2: sequence at 5' end was forward primer and 3' end was reverse primer. Seems correct, but blast results show sequence is similar to some mouse cloned product.
Clone 3: sequence at 5' end was the reverse complement of the 3' end - i.e. my reverse primer
The sequences matches the primers are 100% correct but not sure what the sequence is between the primers. The sequencing peaks look clean, sharp and good height. All sequence are the same size. Clone 1 is about 98% similar to clone 3 but both have no similarity to Clone 2. My non-template control does not produce anything.
No idea where to start, except to start over?
Sample problem - mRNA contamination?
Primer issues? Primers are reported in the literature.
Cloning or sequencing issue?

How long are the sequence between the primers when you sequenced them? For any sequence you got from sequencing, can you try to blast them against other species such as human to see if they are contamination? I guess you either have contamination of your PCR system (in this case, you should discard everything and start over), or have non-specific binding to other location(s). Try do a in silicon PCR using your primer sequences to find out. For this, you can lower the criterion for Min Perfect Match.

I believe it is non-specific annealing. The primers and cells I am using are from the same paper, and I got the cells from the lab that published this paper. I cross referenced the primers in this paper and it appears the the forward primer that I am referring to is missing a cytosine at the 3' end. I am not sure if this was a typo or not, but it is one of many errors I have come across in this paper. I ordered the correct forward primer so hopefully it works better.

An explosive ordnance disposal team from Fort Drum helped emergency crews after the discovery of a large expended flare near the Old Sodus Bay Lighthouse.
According to a release from the Wayne County sheriffs office, law enforcement was called out about 4:15 p.m. Thursday after the flare, measured at about 18 to 20 inches in length and 3 to 4 inches in diameter, was discovered by a resident. It had a large warning label advising those who found it to contact military and police officials.
Upon arrival, police said, the disposal unit took the flare to an undisclosed location, where it was neutralized.

Our Marathon of Traveling is Over… For Now
It is so great to be home again. The only thing I hate about being home for the first couple days is the unpacking, laundry & adjusting back to our time zone… well, I guess that's more like a few things. But I really can't complain… it is so good to feel the sun on our skin, sleep in our beds and be in our space again.
When we got back… we found out that our internet was cut off. That's why I've been so quiet this past couple weeks, but not anymore! I miss you all and have SO MUCH to share!! We've actually enjoyed not having the internet this past 2 weeks while we adjusted to being back in Costa Rica and hung out with the girls a lot. I had so much time to simply write on my computer because I didn't have my email and blog to distract me. So I got A LOT of writing done to post on the blog! Remember me mentioning how I didn't know how I was going to share everything with you… well, I didn't have to worry because it all worked out!
Overall, we had a great time in the States. You can read about it and enjoy the pictures from our RO4Y blog. Many thanks to our friends who let us stay in their homes while we visited and many thanks for everyone's encouragement, kindness & generosity. We were able to go to a couple farmer's markets, the Long Beach Aquarium Center, simply catch up with friends and build new friendships! The girls had a blast at the Aquarium Center… they were knocked out tired when we left!
Oh my! It is SO good to be home! Did I say that already?! The last 5-6 weeks have been busy with lots of traveling, visiting friends, attending the mission's conference, sharing at a church and more. Let me give you a quick rundown of our life over the last several weeks. We've never traveled so much in just two months!
First we went to Honduras, felt right at home and… we are moving! We are super excited about moving there. Tentatively, we are planning to move sometime at the end of February… yeah, that's fast… but we believe that is where the Lord wants us. We felt the wonderful sense of "home" while we were there and the Lord has been giving us green lights! Please keep us in your prayers as we make another transition to a new country. We are turning into a cross-cultural family… fun!
After we arrived home from Honduras we took off a day later to the Caribbean. It was a Christmas gift from my in-laws… thank you guys! We had a blast there and I wished we were able to stay another week because there was so much to see around this area. I have so much to share with you about this small world of cacao trees, coconuts, chocolate, raw ice cream, organic produces, the beach, Caribbean life, Italians and delicious food… of course, it is all about the food!
After our fun and sun in Puerto Viejo… we spent a few days at home and got ready for our trip to the States. We arrived to California a couple days after Christmas and stayed in the Long Beach area for about a week and visited many old friends along with making new friendships. Then we headed down to Murrieta for the Missions conference. We met many wonderful missionaries from around the world and had many opportunities to share our vision for RO4Y. We even met a family who lived in Honduras for a year! It was good to hear and learn from their experiences.
Next we flew to Seattle right after the conference was over and had over a week of R & R. Our amazing friends truly have the gift of hospitality and giving. We went to downtown Seattle for a day and visited the Space Tower & the Downtown Farmer's Market… I promise to tell you all about it! It is the best market we've been to so far because it had SO MUCH to offer. We also went up to the mountains to play in the snow and ended up enjoying a blizzard! It was beautiful and COLD! LOL!
Now we are home for the next few weeks, but we are starting to pack for our big move to Honduras. I am looking forward to this being our our final move... I hope, but we are open to wherever God wants to lead us. Please keep us in your prayers and stay around to read more about our adventures. I will also have recipes up here and there too!
So good to be back!

Hi, saw you twitter pop up so headed on over. How exciting for you all. The events that have taken place over the past months now leading up to your hearts desire and the Lords complete leading to Rancho Oasis for Youth. I just had look over at that blog and realized it is so close to Tegucigalpa. This is where dear friend grew up with his missionary parents. Then took his own family back there to visit and minister during summer breaks. Their eldest daughter went there to teach for a couple of years and now is married to a National from there, and are settled back here but go back frequently to visit family.
Lord Bless as you you begin you life in Honduras.
Glad to see you back on here and looking forward to Real Food Postings.
PamelaI'm so excited to read another post from you. And I'm thankful that the Lord has opened the door for you and your family to move to Honduras. You'll be in my prayers. Your trip was a blast, spending under the sun at the Caribbean and then moving to a cold place. The most important thing is that you're safe and you were able to write more posts for your blog. Looking forward to it.

-- -- The European Central Bank it's a lot of credit for what's happening today why because it unveiled its most ambitious plan yet.
To halt Europe's financial crisis my next guest has some sound he believes sound investment and investing ideas.
To find stocks he says that won't rise up from the rubble in Europe he is earning billions of chief investment officer.
At the -- mark trust company joining me in a Fox Business exclusive.
Is it too late to get -- I mean I'd look at what an incredible move and now you wonder if if the voice of Mario Draghi is what is really going to for a longer stretch of time turn this thing around.
Well it's certainly a good start -- and thank you for having me on I appreciate that very much.
We mean when we get the remark trust company look at global concerns we look we take a strategic view four -- portfolios.
So we are looking at long term trends are not just short term trends recognizing that.
They're short term volatility -- way or another but part of it also is looking -- strong balance sheets.
With strong products and services that can have sustainability ever run through -- number -- cycles and through a lot of that.
Short term events have occurred particularly today which is at least a positive -- -- That so -- -- concerning your saying that it's not too late for people to get into Europe now that they know there's just a little bit more stability there.
Yes and and Liz let me define Europe we look at global concerns a multinational companies that.
Don't necessarily sell their products inside Europe although some new products sold inside Europe but also have strong.
Franchise is outside of Europe.
And that is a larger percentage of their sales are going to the growing markets of the world particularly the emerging markets.
And what we look at particularly -- population growth and has population growth in the emerging markets act continues to push up.
-- and creates demand and also income levels have been growing and emerging markets.
So demand for goods and services for multi national companies that may be well.
Domicile around Europe but sell their goods outside Europe are very attractive.
Well you know I -- to give your two ideas to people number one is a single company and that's you know lever which you just articulated exactly why people have more money plus this is a company.
That while European based it absolutely does more business elsewhere but you also like if people are little too nervous -- their money in an individual company.
You like Lazard international strategic equity fund L I S I acts.
Looking at some of the names in there Novartis GlaxoSmithKline.
You believers in there UB sky B potash which is a Canadian company.
Correct right.
-- great diversification.
Again as you mentioned several names that are held by -- -- art fund.
If you look at the top 25 holdings you'll find a lot of companies -- liking Unilever which.
I believe this number fourteen on that list which.
-- hard sell their products so lot of their services and products outside of Europe for example you know lever.
Of their sales in the first half of this year.
Went to the emerging market countries so again that's very attractive to us you know lever up certainly had a very strong day today I'm told.
Just hit a new high at least at the highest level its been since.
Early oh -- we started buying the stock for our client portfolios in the early part of last year.
Bob has -- yield of 3.3 percent even after today's move alive and -- 7% earnings growth rate which we think is very very attractive in this environment.
Even after the -- in terms of -- -- in terms of the fund and what we do with our client portfolios in manager of client portfolios -- we take a long term approach.
And we use both internal -- individual stocks like -- you know lever but also funds and was large fund.
Is a well -- fond of that is we research it very well.
And it does a five star Morningstar rated bond and again has the -- that you mention and -- we think it's a great long term performer.
Well -- it's just a way to get in on a lot of names and I think that's attractive to our investor audience earning good to see -- thank.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Harper describes the genesis of "Grandfather," from the collection Nightmare Begins Responsibility, as the showing of the D. W. Griffith film The Birth of a Nation in a college film course. He recalls his anger at the instructor's attempt to emphasize the technical achievement of the film while ignoring its racist, inaccurate presentation of the events following the Civil War. Harper was determined to tell the story of his grandfather and his father (who was born in 1915, the year of the film's release) as a testament to the reality of black life after the Civil War.
The first long stanza is primarily a recounting of factual information describing how his grandfather's "neighbors surrounded his house" planning to "burn/ his family out," as if this act of hatred could be the birth of their racist nation. This act is set in contrast with the humanity of the man himself, depicted with a simplicity that shows how his calm courage deflects the blind anger of the mob, a "posse decomposing" in confusion. There is a sudden shift from the past of the poem's initial setting to a present in which Harper envisions his grandfather, now in old age, still strong enough to win a footrace against the boy who will write the poem.
The last stanza of the poem continues in a mood of recollection, as Harper narrows the focus to the mundane but necessary acts of existence that define the reality of a man's life. His...

We enjoyed a reasonably priced meal on their deck which is built in a couple of parking spots on one of Golden's main streets.
Stopped in for dinner and beer. The table we sat at was filthy. My nachos were huge and hugely delicious. My wife's Taps Burger neither one of us really liked. The fries were good. The beer on tap is mediocre, which is typical of Canada.
This is the place that has it all, great atmosphere, food, staff, and entertainment. you always check out each joint, but will end up back here, always!
We work looking for fast and easy dinner possibilities and tried it out. The place oozed with local charm and the layout was unique to say the least. Staff were excellent and responsive, prices were great and the pub food was delicious. We'll be back!
This place is a typical bar with pub food. Burgers, salads, etc. Our waitress was great, my burger was good and my husbands salad was excellent. Good beer on tap.
The Golden Taps is what you can expect from a small town bar. Good crowd, nice service and delicious food! They hold musical acts every other weekend including an amazing Open Jam night by local legends. Definetly a place to have a pint if your passing by on the #1 trans-canada highway.
It is always great to receive a positive review. We are in the business of giving people a great meal and a refreshing drink with a friendly face. We've all travelled and know the importance of feeling welcome and eating some great food. Thank you for your review...we sincerely hope to see you again soon. All the best to you! More
perfect spot for a burger and beer. Small, friendly service , good food. After a long journey this was a great place for my wife and I to have a chat about the day and enjoy a beer. Good prices

What is a burn ban?
A burn ban is a mandatory, yet temporary, order that restricts the use of wood stoves and fireplaces, as well as outdoor burning. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issues an air quality burn ban when the weather trends toward stagnant conditions, such as air inversions, which trap fine particle pollution emitted from our chimneys, cars, trucks, and other activities. Our air quality can deteriorate quickly when the weather doesn't give us the breeze we need to clean away our daily air pollution, which is why taking action to curb burning can help keep our air healthy.
What is banned
during a burn ban?
The agency issues the following bans:
Stage 1. During a Stage 1 burn ban:
No burning is allowed in fireplaces and uncertified wood stoves, unless it is your only adequate source of heat. This includes the use of manufactured logs such as Duraflame or Javalogs.
You can use pellet stoves, EPA-certified wood stoves and natural gas or propane fireplaces.
- No visible smoke is allowed from any solid fuel burning devices, beyond a 20 minute start-up period.
Stage 2. During a Stage 2 burn ban:
No burning is allowed in any fireplace, pellet stove or wood stove (certified or not), unless it is your only adequate source of heat.
You can use natural gas or propane fireplaces.
- No visible smoke is allowed from any solid fuel burning device at any time.
All outdoor burning is prohibited during a burn ban, even
in areas where otherwise permitted by law.

Office of the United States Attorney, Ann Birmingham Scheel
of Arizona

Telephone: 602.514.7547
Cell: 602.920.1424
TUCSON, Ariz. – On February 1, 2012, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent Jovana Deas, 33, of Rio Rico, Ariz., entered a guilty plea, before visiting United States Magistrate Judge E.S. Swearingen, to all 21 counts of an indictment.
At the change of plea hearing, Deas admitted to abusing her position as an HSI special agent to illegally obtain and disseminate government documents classified as Official Use Only. Some of the sensitive information Deas unlawfully accessed was later discovered on a laptop computer of her former brother-in-law by law enforcement in Brazil. Her brother-in-law is associated with a drug trafficking organization in Mexico, which has ties to drug traffickers in Brazil. Deas further admitted that she illegally accessed, stole, and transferred sensitive U.S. government documents to unauthorized individuals, and that she obstructed HSI investigations. Deas also admitted that she lied to a HSI Special Agent when asked why she was making computer inquiries about a specific person who was a target of another agent.
Deas' guilty plea included a total of seven felony violations, each punishable by up to five years in prison, and fourteen misdemeanors, each punishable by up to one year in prison.
Deas became a U.S. government employee in June, 2003, as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer assigned to the Nogales, Ariz. port of entry. In 2008, she became an HSI special agent assigned to the HSI Nogales office.
The indictment to which Deas pleaded guilty also charges her sister, Dana Maria Samaniego Montes, 40, of Agua Prieta, Mexico with violations of federal law. Samaniego Montes is a fugitive believed to be residing in Mexico. She is a former Mexican law enforcement official with alleged ties to drug trafficking organizations.

Take advantage of the first of four license-free freshwater fishing days on Saturday. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says people of all ages can cast their lines into three million acres of lakes, ponds and reservoirs and 12,000 miles of fishable rivers, streams and canals.
This is the first of the four scheduled days because it coincides with a productive freshwater fishing period. The wildlife commission says many of Florida's recreational sport fishes move into the shallows to spawn during spring, making them more available for anglers to catch.

Went to the Peddlers Daughter for lunch recently. Had a good burger with blue cheese. The bar atmosphere is nice. I know from previous visits that at night time it is dark and cozy and has good beers!

My friend and I were looking for Irish food when we found the Peddlers Daughter in Haverhill. I enjoyed the story on the menu with the historical information (however, just the other day I saw the same restaurant in Nashua so now I wonder if it's a chain). The decor was interesting. A medley of Irish-themed, random, and beer advertising.... More
This was my second time at this restaurant; the first was several years ago. I came with a friend and we both enjoyed it greatly. Very pleasant atmosphere--lots of wood--and the booth we were in was comfortable. I had the Irish Style Pork Bangers, which was completely new for me so I didn't know what to expect. It was delicious!... More
Had a family gathering here and they had tables all set up and waiting. Great wait staff and the food was awesome. Great atmosphere.
The restaurant is located in a basement location in downtown Haverhill. The restaurant is easy to get in and out of but there are a few steps. The restaurant served very hearty Irish food, such as Fish and Chips, Country pot pies and Bangers with potatoes. The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. We went for lunch on... More
Tiny and cozy pub atmosphere, and designed in the basement of the building. My guest and I had sandwiches and pub fries. Meal was very satisfying had gone at the time of day that was quiet. Go for a lite lunch and walk around the neighborhood afterwards. Lots of shops specializing in the Neighborhood arts venue. History of the down... More
I've hade fish and chips many places many times and the peds have the best on the planet, no lie! Authentic Irish pub with the best regular and sweat potato fries, and oh the ketchup and tartar sauce are to die for! Go! It is the best!
Love Peds, Great bartenders, cool old converted mill building right on the water, great food for a bar
The pros: service was friendly with perfect timing for our lunch. No real cons, just wasn't exceptional in any way. I ordered the beef stew and it was okay but nothing special. My co-worker ordered the wedge salad with chicken, which she enjoyed. It was lunch so we didnt' order alcohol (no Guinness for us!) and the place was kind... More
If you long for the days when Fish & Chips came in newspaper, you will continue to do so, but the fish and chips are good anyway, properly served with malt vinegar, and homemade ketchup for the chips. I don't even like ketchup- this is what happens when ketchup and salsa have a tryst, and nobody gets hurt. Good sausage... More

Myself and my two sisters recently purchased fitted kitchens in your store and we would like to say how helpful we found your staff.
We dealt with Keith and Stephen and they couldn't have been more helpful.
They where polite and dealt with any issues efficiently and quickly.
They also phoned when they said they would and made the whole experience quiet enjoyable.
It's nice to find people who still value the customer.
S.P. Dublin
Today I visited your branch at Tralee, Co. Kerry. I wasdealing with a girl named Caroline- she was polite pleasant and extremely helpful. It is wonderful to get such service and I will certainly go back to her.
Staff like that are worth their weight in gold and it makes such a pleasant change from the usual gruff reception one gets in other establishments. Please commend her for her good work.
E. Ní C. Tralee
Hi Noyeks,
Many Thanks
F. Dublin
Our floor was installed and will have been down two weeks tomorrow. I am very delighted with it and with the work rate and work ethic of the young men who did the job. I can't say enough good things about them. I will be recommending both them and Noyeks to anyone who's prepared to listen and will be returning to Noyeks in the future when we get more flooring for the upstairs of the house.
I also wanted to commend your delivery driver, who delivered the flooring on the Tuesday prior to fitting. I was home alone at the time and he carried it all inside for me as it would have been too heavy for me to move on my own. He, along with your fitters, are wonderful ambassadors for the company and I look forward to recommending you all to all my friends.
Kind regards,
M. K. Co. Kildare
Thank you for your email. Your reply to my first email was very prompt and helpful. I called to Noyeks the next day and got exactly what I needed. Even better, the price was really good.
I will definitely be back. My dad came with me and can't praise your staff enough.
We've recommended Noyeks to many people since.
Thanks again,
F. W. Dublin16
Thanks Noyeks,
My enquiry was answered and may I commendyou for your concern!
It's a pity not all businesses takecustomer satisfaction as seriously as Noyeks.
Well done and best regards
We called to the Tralee showroom onSaturday morning to pick out a counter top and handles. We dealt with alady whose name I didn't get. I must say she was brilliant. It'snice to go in somewhere and be greeted by such pleasant staff, something youdon't find that often.
Take Care,
I was extremely happy with the service. Following onfrom my initial query, Brian Daly was very thorough in drawing up a quote tomatch my requirements.
I have since called into the Finglas branch, again wastreated very well, given some great advice in my design, choice of doors,maintenance of the work surface, extractor fan, fitting, etc, and I purchased akitchen this morning from Bryan and Neil!
I will be a returning customer, and will be very vocalin recommending Noyeks to others! I also looked at Ikea, In-House, Kube, B&Q, however Noyeks quality, know-how and value for money was far superiorto the rest.
Many thanks,
I am happy to say that I was extremely satisfied with how my request was dealt with.I had been enquiring about some sinks and taps as I was changing around my kitchen worktop and decided to change the sink in the process. Your sales rep was extremely helpful and as a result I went ahead and instructed our craftsman who was doing the work to purchase a "Pepper" Tap and Round Sink and matching Drainer which have been fitted. They look amazing in place and the better half is delighted with both the quality of the products and more importantly the price we were charged.
We have recently purchased an oak shaker kitchen from yourselves and have found the service excellent.
Return calls were made when promised, the staff in the warehouse were always obliging, as were the counter staff.
The service was exceptionally good .... I got a reply within an hour ... ordered and paid for it a few days later .....
The delivery was 3 weeks later, exactly as I requested and the follow up on my calls arranging the delivery was exceptional ...
The parts are now installed and I am delighted with the final result ....
All in all -I am an extremely well satisfied customer !!!!
Thank you.
I O'CDublin
Dear Noyeks,
Many thanks for your email.
Just to let you know that I did get a very prompt reply to my enquiry and was very happy with the information given.
Many thanks to the Noyeks Team.
M. N. Dublin 16
Once again, thank you so much. The guy who collected the excess wood yesterday was also extremely polite. It's a pity to say I'm actually surprised (pleasantly!) when being treated well in these types of transactions these days.
I will certainly be using Noyeks again for both kitchen and flooring.
Kind regards
R. Dublin
Thank you for your follow up email. Keith Farrelly has being dealing with my orders and would like to point out how professional and courteous he has been in my dealings with him. He is a credit to your organisation!
As mentioned to Keith I'm currently renovating my home and will be using Noyeks going forward based on the quality service and competitive prices.
Keep up all the good work!
Thank you Noyeks, very fast and efficient at replying to emails.
I made an enquiry about a kitchen sink and within 15 mins I had an email with pictures and prices straight back to me and by the end of the day I bought the sink!Thank you, A.B. Meath
would just like to reiterate that it was an excellent and professional service from beginning to end and that I would have no hesitations in recommending and using Noyeks again.
R.D. Dublin
Dear Albert,
I was more than happy with the service from your team, both Finglas and Ballymount. Keith Farrelly was dealing with me and provided me with all the details I required.
I will absolutely be giving my business to Noyeks. Many many thanks for your lovely email, keep up the good work.
And a very good pat on the back for Keith, well deserved, very hard to get good service now a days .
W.D, Dublin
Thanks for the great service. Keith (Noyeks Ballymount) got in touch and was very helpful. He provided information on worktops along with quotes. Since then we have had delivery and are delighted with the product. It's perfect - just what we were looking for. The price was right too as it was what the budget could stand. I have also ordered a sink which we'll collect shortly.
All in all, absolutely delighted with the service.
Many thanks
G.B. Wicklow"
"Good morning Albert, I was very satisfied will all dealing with your company, responses were complete and timely. I am now taking time to consider my options. Thank you for your mail Best regards David"
"Joe Costello has been dealing with my request and has been extremely helpful. In the first instance he called me in response to the e-mail request that I had submitted and he also followed up with an email response confirming items discussed in our conversation. Any further information that I was looking for was provided within a day of the request.
I have been looking for the same information from other suppliers and have been shocked at the non response to any request for information or indeed prices for materials. It would seem that most suppliers either have monkeys checking their e-mails or are doing so well in sales that any email request is just seen as a nuisance.
My request for information was in respect to WBP plywood and I am delighted at the information and prices provided to me. I had recently purchased some "Certified" 12mm WBP from a supplier in Limerick. Having had it cut down into smaller parts I was appalled at the quality and could not believe that someone could honestly have certified the material as suitable for purpose.
Looking forward to doing business with Noyeks".
P. Mc D.
"Good Evening,
Just to let you know we had a very prompt and helpful reply following our initial email.
Many thanks." E. O'B. South West
"Thanks Albert,
I immediately received a reply from you company. The products I ordered were purchased and are now installed.Thanks to all your staff for the prompt reply, service and quality of your merchandise. I will have no problem ordering from you again and will highly recommend your company to others,Thanks again",
C.F. South Dublin
"Hello Noyeks,
Your guys in Finglas were excellent and we are now playing on the table (made from Noyeks MDF).
All I can say is Well Done and I wish other were like you!"

Communications Minor
Richard L. Zweigenhaft, Department of Psychology
The communications minor is open to students of any major. It offers a group of courses from various departments designed to give students a broad introduction to the general area of communications. The minor is concerned with broad social, moral and philosophical issues, as well as with the improvement of communication skills.
This minor should be considered as a core of courses that could be extended in a more focused way through additional courses, independent study and internships. Students interested in public relations or advertising, for instance, could take additional courses in art and management while majoring in English. They also could learn practical skills through involvement with college media (such as the radio station or the various publications) and arrange internships with local advertising agencies, newspapers, radio or television stations.
The minor should be particularly useful to people considering careers in any field of communications (for example, newspapers, radio or television) or business management. The minor, however, should be worthwhile in general for any student, enhancing her or his college performance and making a useful offering on a transcript for job applications in many fields.
Communications Minor Requirements
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses).
- PSY 241 Mass Media – 4 credits
- Three courses from: 12 credits

Cheers to the Cape Fear Center for Digestive Diseases. During a recent procedure, I was made to feel at ease the moment I arrived, with every step of the procedure explained to me.

Blaine is an out-and-proud member of McKinley High's New Directions (formerly of Dalton Academy's Warblers vocal group). He first meets Kurt when he catches the Warblers singing "Teenage Dream," and the two become fast friends. Blaine takes Kurt under his wing after Kurt transfers to Dalton from McKinley, and Kurt quickly develops a crush on the very crushable Blaine. After some ups and downs, the two finally get together just before Regionals. The following year, Kurt (a senior) transfers back to McKinley and Blaine (a junior) decides to go with him.

text: oops, ignore my previous comment ... didn't read far enough down your note. You may want to try the item-at xpath function but I would have thought [] would have normalized to that. -----Original Message----- From: general-bounces at xqzone.marklogic.com To: general at xqzone.marklogic.com Sent: 10/22/2004 7:53 AM Subject: [XQZone General] Performance of index (position) access and getting to preceding nodes Hi Folks, I'm just getting started with CIS after an enjoyable User Conference and I have a couple of related questions: Is there an efficient way when processing a sequence to access other nodes in the sequence? (especially preceding or next nodes). I have tried to use indexed/positional access but this seems to be very (very) slow. For instance, using example queries to illustrate the thought - XQuery 1: for $item at $index in //items return xdmp:path($item) This iterates through, setting the context to each item in //items and executes very quickly - as I expected, whereas the following, illustrating access to the preceding node....... XQuery 2: for $item at $index in //items return if ($index> 1) then (xdmp:path($p),xdmp:path($items[$index - 1])) else xdmp:path($p) ... runs very very slowly even for small lists. XQuery 1 is often sub-second while XQuery 2 for 80 items takes about 8 seconds and for 600 items about a minute, bigger lists just take forever. It appears to me that it is the access via index/position that is slow. Testing with the following obviously daft query Query 3: let $items := //items for $item at $index in $items return xdp:path($items[$index]) This takes the same length of time as XQuery 2. It looks almost like the expressions are being fully re-evaluated, i.e. //items[1] .. //items[n] rather than using a previously determined "in memory" list. To test this I tried the even dafter XQuery: XQuery 4: let $items := //items for $item at $index in $items return xdp:path((//items)[$index]) and the timings matched XQuery3, reinforcing my "re-evaluation" thought. I've tried some other approaches though XQuery scoping seems to stop me simply saving a node for later use. So..... any thoughts or guidance on: i) What is going on and why is this form of indexed access so slow? ii) Is there an easier (i.e. much faster) way to access other nodes in a given sequence while handling that sequence? iii) What 'obvious' XQuery technique to this have I clearly yet to discover? :-) Thanks in advance, Andy _______________________________________________ General mailing list General at xqzone.marklogic.com http://xqzone.com/mailman/listinfo/general
