1) Promised telephone support from Urchin. There is no telephone support and the online support is very difficult to use. They require you to enter your authorization code (a very long number which is a pain to find and enter ) before they will even allow you to write a support request. Then it is hit or miss whether or not they will respond.
2) I was promised an upgrade to 6.0 within a month, (this was six months ago) and while they have been acquired by Google since then they should still honor this request. I believe the intent was to come out with a newer version for Urchin on Demand and release 6.0 for the 5.7 users.
3) I have not been able to get Urchin does not track the detail pages on my ASP websites. It will track the main page: www.ABC.com/detail.asp but drops any information relating to the specific pages that follow: www.ABC.com/detail.asp?Area=658. This is one of the topics that I've requested support on but have not been able to get Urchin to respond.
4) This may be specific to Urchin 5.7 but I've found that the the Urchin tool will shut down and then to restart the product I have to go into DOS mode (remember DOS?) and enter 5 or six lines of programmer code to restart the product. There is no warning and no notification of a problem from Urchin. To find out if the product is locked up, I have to look at the reports for all of my websites and see when data is no longer being reported.
Overall, the product is okay, but I would not have bought the product if I knew that I was going to be treated so poorly by the people at Urchin.

First, it sounds to me like there's definitely some sort of configuration issue that needs to be resolved. I've been running various versions of Urchin on several servers for errmmm...well years now, and I've never had it shut down once on me. So something is triggering that, which may be a contributing factor to some of the other things you mentioned.
You'll want to stay on Urchin Support about that. Because something's not right.
1. No clue on that one. I've never had to contact their support for anything. The most I've ever had to do was look in their Manual/Help Files that are freely available.
2. I would tend to agree that Google should have to abide by the previous promise.
3. Do you have the UTM module installed and running? Where you put a bit of code in your page? I don't know if that's required or not because I have it enabled for all of my sites. It may not be a requirement.
Anyway, look under Pages & Files > Page Query Terms. What you're looking for with the variables should be located there. You can drill down farther by clicking on the little blue arrow next to each entry.
4. See above. Sounds like a config problem to me. But having never experienced anything like that I wouldn't know where to start looking. Is anything being recorded to your log files when it fails?

I can confirm the other things Internet-Engine said - the thing tends to hang more than crash, but to get it restarted you have to run a bunch of DOS commands. What's worse is you don't know its stopped working as it doesn't mail you. Then when you restart you have to work out how to download the missing days for all of your profiles - currently over 30 - all different.
The 30 profiles is the reason I could never move to their On-Demand product. Web Trends has a similar pricing model and is out of the question also. Perhaps there's an open source alternative that's better than analog - anyone know of one?
Posted 24 July 2005 - 10:24 PM
Actually, the 20K script has to be installed on your own server, then referenced from every page of your site.
Graphics-wise, the On-Demand service has integrated Flash into the display of the graphs, so you can right-click to zoom in. An interesting enhancement.

I have a problem using Urchin 6.0 Demand.
Itś abut capturing the e-commerce transactions.
I have put the code:
<script src="/__utm.js" type="text/javascript"></script> on my homepage
head, and thatś works perfectly. But it doens work with the code below
</textarea></form><body onLoad="javascript:__utmSetTrans()">
I have made an example file below, and just put numbers instead of order -id. I just wanted to test if it worled.
<script src="__utm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<form style="display:none;" name="utmform">
UTM:T|34|affiliation|10|2|1|san diego|smaland|Sverige
<script language="javascript">__utmSetTrans();</script>
And in the urchin 6.0 demand I just chosed
General Settings
Website URL: www.test.com (using another site) (
Default Page: www.test.com/index.hl,(e.g., index.html)
Revenue Source: E-commerce Data

Activate Goal: on
Goal Web Address:www.test.com
Goal Name: goal 1
Goal Value (Revenue): 0
But when I check for transaction I just get zero transation. What am I doing wrong, need help badly.
Posted 07 October 2005 - 06:52 AM
Have you tried checking the Urchin help files or their support?
Posted 07 October 2005 - 07:27 AM
Not sure how much help I'm going to be trying to troubleshoot this one since I use the Installed version of Urchin instead of the On Demand version. For the installed version I have have php dumping the e-commerce info into a little log file on my server that Urchin then reads from.
A question or three... Does the On Demand version access any log files on your server? Or is that what the __utmSetTrans(); call is supposed to do?
Also, is that javascript function part of their base __utm.js file?
Last thought...
I know with the installed version instructions tell you to put the call to the __utm.js script at the very bottom of the page so that it doesn't affect the load time of the page adveresly. Is this where you have it on your test page?
The reason that I ask is that if you're calling the __utmSetTrans(); function as a BODY onLoad event, you'll need to the call to the __utm.js file to be above the BODY tag in your page to get any kind of consistency in your reporting. Otherwise the onLoad is going to be trying to run a js function that doesn't yet exist.

A 28-year-old Fayetteville woman died Oct. 9 after being struck by a car as she crossed U.S. 301 late at night, the Highway Patrol said.
Fontoya McMillion was trying to cross the southbound section of the highway four-tenths of a mile north of the Hope Mills Bypass at 11:11 p.m. when she stepped into the path of a 2003 Nissan driven by Christopher Keith Lennon, 19, of Hope Mills, and was struck, said Trooper S.D. Reed.
Lennon didn't see McMillion, who was wearing dark clothing and who had been drinking alcohol, Reed said.
Lennon was driving the posted speed limit, 55 mph, Reed said, and no charges were filed.
McMillion was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where she died a short while later.

Outlaw Country
By the 1970s, singers like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson had had it with the narrow range of control that producers were allowing artists to have over their own music. Jennings rebelled by demanding creative control over his recordings, and his label relented. He replaced the cleanly, professional session musicians -- favored by producers -- with his much rawer road band, chose some meaty songs from the likes of Billy Joe Shaver, and coupled a spare, Neo-Cowboy sound with a deep rhythm and his own burly voice. The public ate it up; both classic Honky-Tonk fans and new generations of long-hairs were attracted to Jennings' beefy sound, biker image, and no-nonsense attitude. Likewise, Nelson, who moved to Texas from Nashville in the early '70s, devised his own slow-burning, back-to-basics cowboy style on albums like Red Headed Stranger and Phases and Stages.
The so-called outlaw movement culminated in a 1976 compilation album Wanted! The Outlaws that featured Jennings, Nelson, Tompall Glaser and Jessi Colter, but many of the original "outlaws" continue to tour and record. Alt-Country and Americana radio would be nowhere without the pioneering work of these country upstarts.

The new standard for the stage an exceptionally powerful sound that never comes across as obtrusive – that's the basis of the TG V50d and the TG V50d s. The combination of sleek design and rugged construction that is perfect for the stage, this exceptional sound makes the TG V50d a reliable companion that you will never want to be without. That is the definition of the new standard for the stage. Whether in the rehearsal room or on a stage of any size, the dynamic TG V50d is an excellently tuned live vocal microphone. Especially notable are its balanced sound that is both powerful and natural, its very wide pick-up range thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, and its high feedback rejection; the whole product range is also outstanding in its handling, ruggedness, look and touch. The readiness of the TG V50d is also impressive – plug it in, activate the high-pass filter and it's ready. It is advantages like these that will win it many fans for use in lead and backing vocals of all music genres as well as by professional rental companies and sound technicians. The TG V50d is also available with a switch as the TG V50d s. The switch, which is embedded in the grip, can be locked and doesn't emit any 'clicking' sound.

Global Warming Swindle
Through this Science upd8 activity students examine the evidence behind opposing views on the cause of climate change.
One side says this is a natural phenomenon whilst the other links rises in the Earth's temperature with human emissions of greenhouse gases.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Science debating
Posted by tipplic on 24th July 2011
Activity time: 50-60 minute lesson
Level / prior knowledge: age 11-14 KS3 ability Level 4 -7 / general awareness of climate change
Subject / curriculum links / skills: Science: Environment / Geography /Thinking skills, team work, literacy, speaking & listening, evaluating strength of evidence to support an argument.
Preparation time: 20 minutes to print set of evidence slides and signs for plenary voting
Extra resources: access to internet, whiteboards with pens for each group
Commentary: I ran this activity with high ability Year 7 class which I divided into 2 groups, for and against the motion that Global Warming is a natural phenomenon. As a starter I showed a trailer for the Great Global Warming Swindle (Channel 4 documentary) and a selection of photos of the effects of global warming such as polar bears on the melting ice caps.
An important factor to consider in the success of this activity is the allocation of roles in each group, such as who will give evidence in the plenary debate, and to the time of the duration of the research / evaluation activity, to allow 10 -15 minutes for verbal feedback and the class vote at the end.
A good tip to appeal to kinesthetic learners is to ask each student to move to the side of the room which matches their point of view and ask them to say or write down on whiteboards a reason for their decision.

Homemade Marshmallows Recipe
This recipe was my grandpa's favorite. At Christmastime, he would be busy making marshmallows for his family and friends. —Diana Byron, New London, Ohio
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup cold water, divided
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: melted chocolate, hot fudge and/or caramel ice cream topping
- Optional garnishes: baking cocoa, confectioners' sugar, crushed assorted candies, chopped nuts, colored sugars and/or sprinkles
- Line a 13-in. x 9-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with butter; set aside.
- In a large metal bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt and remaining water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 240° (soft-ball stage).
- Remove from the heat and gradually add to gelatin. Beat on high speed until mixture is thick and the volume is doubled, about 15 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Spread into prepared pan. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 6 hours or overnight.
- Using foil, lift marshmallows out of pan. With a knife or pizza cutter coated with cooking spray, cut into 1-in. squares. Dip or drizzle marshmallows with toppings if desired; coat with garnishes as desired. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. Yield: about 9-1/2 dozen.

Festool has re-invented their entire cordless drill line. Keeping the best of their old design and adding new features and benefits to the T-series and C-series Lithium Ion powered drills. Both use the brushless motor system for increase power because it is more efficient than the brushed motors. You also get less noise and longer life from less moving parts to boot! Festool cordless drills have integrated thermal and overload protection to prevent catastrophic failure from being pushed beyond its capabilities. The tool simply shuts off before damage can be done to the motor and stays off until its cool enough to operate. Both T and C Series drills have an integrated LED light, on-board bit storage and a battery fuel gauge to let you know how much power you have left to use. A movable belt clip lets you choose which side to attach to your belt (great for you lefties out there).
The electronic clutch protects from overload. Because of this clutch, you can also shift from drilling to driving without losing your clutch settings. Both the C-series and T-series can use five different chucks. The CentroTec Chuck comes with a magnetic bit holder that works well with standard 1/4" hex shank bits and is included with all Festool C and T series drills. The FastFix ½" keyless ratcheting chuck hold drill bits tightly. FastFix Right Angle chuck gets you into tight locations. It can be swiveled a full 360° with 16 locking positions. It can also be combined with the Centrotec or Keyless Drill chucks for additional functionality. It is included in the C and T "sets". The FastFix Eccentric chuck looks a bit weird but gets you into the corners where other drill chucks can't go. It too can swivel 360° and locks in at 16 positions. This chuck accepts wire detent insert bits and is included in the "sets". When driving screws, you'll need the Depth Stop chuck which can be "set and forget" convenient. The integrated clutch maintains depth of fastener placement independent of the torque setting, and the green quick-out ring backs out screws without affecting the depth setting. The Depth Stop chuck is not included in the "sets" nor is it compatible with the CXS Drills. And if that is not enough, you can leave all the chucks off and put a bit directly into the nose of the drill for especially tight locations. Combine all these features and store them in the new T-Loc Systainer and you couldn't ask for a better drilling/driving system. Imported.

Minus one star only because I wish it came with a guide on how to remove the links, other than that it is beautiful in person.

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
Article abstract: As a novelist, poet, dramatist, and essayist, Goldsmith stands in the first rank. His The Life of Richard Nash, Esq. (1762) pioneered a new type of biography, and his historical writings helped educate generations of schoolchildren and adults.
Early Life
Many uncertainties linger about Oliver Goldsmith. Among them are the date and place of his birth. He was probably born on November 10, 1728 or 1730—though any year between 1728 and 1731 is possible—in Pallas, County Longford, Ireland, as the fifth child and second son of the Reverend Charles Goldsmith and Ann Jones Goldsmith. He grew up in the Irish village of Lissoy, the model for the imaginary Auburn of the poem The Deserted Village (1770). Goldsmith was fond of his father, who became the model for the benevolent Dr. Primrose in The Vicar of Wakefield (1766) and the kindly father of The Man in Black of The Citizen of the World (1762). The village curate in The Deserted Village is also based partly on the Reverend Charles Goldsmith, in addition to Goldsmith's brother Henry, to whom he dedicated his poem The Traveller: Or, A Prospect of Society (1764). The less flattering portrait of Mrs. Primrose in The Vicar of Wakefield reflects Goldsmith's estrangement from his mother, who grew disillusioned with her son's improvidence—a trait inherited from his father. When Ann Goldsmith died,...

Biography (Censorship (Ready Reference series))
Goldsmith is best known for his novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), his play She Stoops to Conquer (1773), and his poem The Deserted Village (1770). It was, however, an abridged version of his A History of England (1764) that raised the ire of the Roman Catholic church. That abridgment—which contributed nothing to Goldsmith's literary reputation—was first published shortly after he died in 1774, and it was often revised and republished in Great Britain and North America during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In 1823, an Italian translation of the text was listed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum with the proviso donec corrigatur ("until it is corrected").
Goldsmith's negative remarks about the Catholic church at the time of the Reformation, were doubtless a primary reason for his book's condemnation. He wrote that the "vices and impositions of the church of Rome were now almost come to a head; and the increase of arts and learning among the laity . . . began to make them resist that power which was originally founded in deceit." The book also discusses how Pope Leo X's greed led to the hated practice of selling of indulgences, which were easily purchased "at taverns, brothels and gaming houses," and it emphasizes base...

Biography (Critical Survey of Short Fiction, Second Revised Edition)
Oliver Goldsmith received his A.B. from Trinity College in Dublin in 1749. He toyed with the notion of taking holy orders but was refused by a bishop who felt his scarlet breeches reflected a less than serious attitude. In 1752, he left Ireland never to return. His travels to London to study law met with misfortune, but a generous uncle then sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh. Shortly thereafter he traveled by foot through Holland, Switzerland, and France. He settled in England in 1756, supporting himself at various times as a doctor among the poor, an apothecary's assistant, an usher in a school, and finally as a hack writer for Ralph Griffith's Monthly Review. His life was marked by continual wandering, and poverty was his constant companion. After establishing himself in the literary world, he was honored by being chosen one of the nine charter members of Samuel Johnson's famous club. He died in 1774, leaving an incredible volume of work and an equal amount of debt.

Biography (Critical Survey of Drama, Second Revised Edition)
Tony Lumpkin in She Stoops to Conquer is one of those classic ne'er-do-wells in English literature who would rather eat, drink, and play a merry prank than work for a living. Tony may have been Oliver Goldsmith's favorite male character in the play; at the very least, he was a kindred spirit, because the playwright himself had lived a ne'er-do-well's existence before successful authorship brought him some stability and an income, however irregular it may have been.
Goldsmith began life as the second son in the large family of an Anglo-Irish clergyman. What limited wealth the family had was destined to become part of his older brother's inheritance or of the dowry for an older sister who "married above herself"; nothing much was left for Oliver. Goldsmith seems to have been equally slighted by nature: He was a sickly child, badly disfigured by smallpox contracted at age seven, and he was considered dull by his first teachers. From this inauspicious background, it took a number of years for Goldsmith to discover his niche in the world as a writer.
Goldsmith was graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, in 1749, after fitful periods of study that were punctuated by riotous parties and pranks, clashes with administrators, and attempts to run away. Two years later, he applied for ordination in the Church of England, but the red trousers he wore to the interview seem not to have made a favorable impression on the local bishop....

Biography (Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition)
Oliver Goldsmith was born of English stock to Ann Jones and the Reverend Charles Goldsmith, an Anglican curate. He first attended the village school of Lissoy and was taught by Thomas Byrne, a veteran of the War of the Spanish Succession. Byrne, a versifier who regaled his pupils with stories and legends of old Irish heroes, perhaps inspired Goldsmith with his love of poetry, imaginative romance, and adventure. In 1747, Goldsmith attended Patrick Hughes's school at Edgeworthstown, where he received a thorough grounding in the Latin classics. While there he probably first heard Turlogh O'Carolan, "the last of the bards," whose minstrelry left a lasting impression on him. In 1745, he entered Trinity College, Dublin, as a sizar, a position that required him to do menial work in exchange for room, board, and tuition. Goldsmith earned his B.A. degree in either 1749 or 1750. In 1752, he journeyed to Edinburgh, Scotland, to study medicine, and he continued to pursue his medical studies at the University of Leiden, in the Netherlands, in 1754. The next year he set out on a grand tour of the Continent. In February, 1756, he arrived in London, where he briefly taught in Dr. Milner's school for nonconformists and eked out a living doing hack writing.
A reversal of his fortunes occurred in 1759 with the publication of his first substantial work, An Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe. Goldsmith subsequently befriended such...

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: British, Irish, & Commonwealth Poets)
Although David Garrick's epigrammatic remark that Oliver Goldsmith "wrote like an angel, but talk's like poor Poll" exaggerates his social awkwardness, it does contain an important indicator. Before Goldsmith discovered authorship, his life had been all trial and mostly error.
As the second son of an Irish clergyman, Goldsmith could not look forward to independent means; most of the family resources went to increase the dowry of a sister. Nature seems to have been equally parsimonious toward him: Childhood disease, natural indolence, and physical ungainliness left him prey to his classmates' teasing and his schoolmasters' scorn. His later days at Trinity College in Dublin were no better: He got into trouble with administrators, ran away, but returned to earn a low bachelor's degree in 1749.
For the next ten years, Goldsmith seemed at a complete loss for direction. He toyed with the idea of running away to America, but instead applied for ordination in the Church of England. Emphatically rejected by the local bishop, Goldsmith went in 1751 to study medicine at the University of Leyden. After mild attention to his studies, Goldsmith toured Europe, sometimes with the dignity of a "foreign student" and sometimes with the poverty of a wandering minstrel. Returning to London in 1756, he successively failed at teaching and at getting a medical appointment in the navy. He found work as a proofreader for the novelist-printer Samuel...

Life's Work (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
Six months of working for Griffiths was enough for Goldsmith: Griffiths was demanding, and he took liberties with Goldsmith's essays. In 1758, Goldsmith returned briefly to his teaching post and also secured a commission to serve as a physician in India. To earn money for his passage, he completed An Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe. This work surveys education and literature, particularly in France and England. Goldsmith saw a decline in both countries but believed that the great power of booksellers in England was especially pernicious. No doubt he was thinking of his recent experience with Griffiths.
Other booksellers were proving more generous, though. John Wilkie was starting a new thirty-two-page weekly magazine, The Bee, and asked Goldsmith to serve as its editor, by which he meant sole contributor. For the periodical's eight numbers (October 6, 1759, to November 24, 1759), Goldsmith churned out a variety of essays. As if this work were not enough, he was also writing for The Critical Review and The Lady's Magazine.
Although The Bee was short-lived, Goldsmith's work had attracted the notice of John Newbery, the publisher of children's books. What unsigned work Goldsmith may have done for him is unclear; Goody Two-Shoes (1765), a children's classic, has been attributed to Goldsmith. Newbery definitely wanted Goldsmith to write for his new daily...

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: The 17th and 18th Centuries)
The Latin inscription on Oliver Goldsmith's memorial in Westminster Abbey says that he "left scarcely any kind of writing untouched and touched nothing that he did not adorn." Though its author, Samuel Johnson, maintained that in lapidary inscriptions one is not upon oath, here he wrote no more than the truth.
Goldsmith was certainly a hack writer; in a three-month period in 1760 he turned out forty essays. Yet he left a novel that endures as a classic, two poems that rival any of the century, a comedy that still enjoys frequent revivals, and essays that continue to delight and instruct. The man who lamented the decline of literature gave ample testimony to its vitality.
He was a keen observer. In An History of the Earth, and Animated Nature he predicted the French Revolution, and elsewhere he foresaw the antagonism between Russia and Western Europe. Despite his gentleness, he could be a sharp social critic, as when he wrote in The Deserted Village, "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,/ Where wealth accumulates, and men decay." His sympathy with the common man and his experiments with traditional verse forms are as forward-looking as his political and social observations. He was not without his faults: He was feckless toward his mother, improvident, credulous, and vain. Yet, as Samuel Johnson wrote of him in a letter to Bennet Langton, "Let not his frailties be remembered; he was a very great man."

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Oliver Goldsmith's life divides into almost equal segments. The first half is poorly understood. The second, beginning in 1756 with his arrival in London, is well documented. Goldsmith's birth is shrouded in some mystery. It is believed that he was born on November 10, 1728 or 1730, at his parents' home at Pallas, County Longford, Ireland. The uncertainty arises because the year next to Goldsmith's recorded birth was ripped out of the family Bible. He was the fourth child and second son of Charles Goldsmith, a leisure-loving curate who rose slowly in the Anglican Church, and Ann Jones Goldsmith. Shortly after Oliver's birth, the family moved to Lissoy, where Charles became curate-in-charge of the parish at Kilkenny West.
At school, Goldsmith was a careless student, but never an unintelligent one. He was good in Latin and translated some of Vergil into English verse. This early taste for versification deepened in his youth, when he had the opportunity to hear professional storytellers and entertainers. Their lively tales increased his interest in romantic writing. Goldsmith's mother recognized his interest in, and devotion to, poetry and music from his early childhood. When he was older, she insisted, in spite of a grave financial condition, that he be educated as had his father and older brother. With financial backing from an adoring...

Oliver Goldsmith is one of the great writers of the eighteenth century, ranking with Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, and Samuel Johnson. He was certainly the master comedian of his age. His versatility in producing important poems, dramas, novels, and essays is without peer.
Goldsmith always remained a puzzle to his contemporaries. He was a difficult personality for them to comprehend. After his death, however, he assumed legendary proportions. Over the centuries, many anecdotes and recollections of the man have been offered, including countless books and shorter works. Perhaps Johnson wrote it best in his Latin inscription on Goldsmith's memorial in the Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey: "in genius lofty, lively, versatile; in style weighty, clear, engaging."

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Oliver Goldsmith, the son of a Protestant clergyman in Ballymahon, was born in a small and poor village in Ireland. When Goldsmith was two years old his father succeeded to a more lucrative parish and moved his family to Lissoy, Westmeath. Little in Goldsmith's early life pointed him toward literature. He received his earliest education at home from a maid-servant and thereupon at the Lissoy village school and a variety of boarding schools. Because he was small in stature, pitted with smallpox, and awkward in manner, he was the butt of his schoolmates' jokes, and his schoolmasters considered him "a stupid, heavy blockhead." However, both his characteristic good nature and his characteristic indolence remained unaltered.
About the time he planned to attend university, his sister married a well-to-do young man. When his father felt obliged to send her forth with a suitable dowry, the family's financial situation became such that young Oliver was forced to attend the university as a sizar (a student paying his way through menial domestic chores) instead of as a pensioner (a student paying tuition). Despite this blow to his pride, he let himself be won over to the idea; he passed the college entrance examination—last on the list—and entered Trinity College in 1745.
His academic standing and economic status at Trinity College are...

Biography (Drama for Students)
Born November 10, 1728, in Ballymahon, Ireland, Goldsmith was from a poor but not needy family, supported by his father's position as a minister. The family had expected that Goldsmith would attend university, but the marriage of an older sister required his tuition money as part of her sizable dowry. In 1745, Goldsmith entered Trinity College in Dublin under the sizar system, which allowed poor students to study in exchange for work. Perhaps because of his tenuous economic circumstances, Goldsmith did not distinguish himself academically. He failed to take his studies entirely seriously, violated college rules, and even took part in a riot in which several people died.
Completing his B.A. in 1749, Goldsmith attempted various careers, including the ministry and medicine. From 1753-56, he wandered across the British continent before arriving in London. There, Goldsmith embarked on a career writing reviews and essays for such periodicals as Ralph Griffith's Monthly Review and Tobias Smollett's Critical Review, as well as proofreading for the novelist and printer Samuel Richardson.
The first book to appear under Goldsmith's name proved a notable success. Entitled The Citizen of the World; or, Letters from a Chinese Philosopher Residing in London to His Friends in the East, it began as a series of essays in the Publick Ledger. Goldsmith, masquerading under the identity of an Asian visitor, satirized the faults and...

It was a wonderful day out in town with Kate! We have both been holed up, working too hard, and finally had a day out to enjoy ourselves!
(All peektures are click-able for larger, clearer views)
Blush peasant blouse from Supre, denim shorts from Abercrombie Kids, Dreamweaver Bag from Spell and the Gypsy Collective, Carmen Harness Short boots in Burnt Red from Frye.
We started off with brunch at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, which was awesome. I had the Croque Madame which was absolutely delicious and the serving was so generous I had to leave one piece of toast behind. And I have always enjoyed the side salad they do at every outlet for their breakfast items.
After we were more than adequately fed, it was time to shop. We were barely able to move out of a certain area, because for some strange reason, the cluster of stores around that particular stretch in Ion were carrying many, many clothes in styles I love! You know how sometimes, you are out to buy but find nothing you like? And sometimes, you find a whole lot of stuff when you least expect it? That was what happened, and it hasn't happened in a while! It was quite satisfying. Loot peekture at the end of this post!
I didn't buy this Spanish style maxi dress even though I quite liked it. Kate and I were both not sure I would wear these colours very often.
Hours later, we hit Laduree, which has finally opened in Singapore! In case you don't know, Laduree is my favourite maker of macarons. I was so excited when they opened in Singapore, but due to drowning in work, I wasn't able to get my little ass there till now.
We went away with a little loot of six macarons. <3
Kate and I shared three macarons and I took the other three home to slowly savour… She found them still a little too sweet for her taste, though she quite liked the dark chocolate macaron.
We had an awful experience at Robert Timms, by the way. Not only did they serve me horrid coffee, the service was terrible. I won't go into details, but we probably wouldn't go there again.
And here's my total loot of the day! Can you tell I am getting ready for my Chicago summer? :D
I also have some exciting eBay news! Last week, I scored my first pair of vintage Frye boots and my first exotic leather anything! These luscious deep red lizard skin boots, vintage and unworn, retailed for $500 back in the day, and I scored them for… $31. Woohoo! These are auction peektures I grabbed off eBay. They are being shipped to Chicago and I will see them when I get there. You can bet your last dollar they are gonna be a big part of my summer wardrobe!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

"These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America's conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the cultural and moral fronts."Sad. True. Tragic.Especially the part about the GOP refusing to fight as a moral force. To do that, you must - must! - identify the enemy as immoral. This is impossible if you grant him the sanction of "good intentions" or "idealism" or "difference of opinion" or whatever smokescreen du jour Democrats demand in order to commit their crimes unpunished.Sanctioning the Enemedia, by letting them once again host and control the debates (why??!!) is another mistake. The evidence of malpractice against the Enemedia now reaches from here to the moon, yet- no prosecutions??!! Why not??!!Today, I see little hope, and strategic thinking shifts away from winning elections and toward surviving an electorate hostile toward success.

Remember it was the cheap labor loving wimpy Republican business interests who caused mass uncontrolled illegal immigration to get up a head of steam in the first place.The liberal Democrats now intend to eventually flip the vast majority of those illegal aliens, through incremental amnesty programs and a "path to citizenship" into an overwhelming number of new liberal Democrat voters.Those factors have now become a growing albatross around the neck of the GOP that no longer will be able to muster up enough voters to win future national elections.

I understand all the bitterness in the posts above. But I don't see how cutting off our personal friends and contacts --because they happen to be Dem voters-- is going to help anything.I'm a close friend of a retired policeman. He is at heart a good person, but a dyed-in-the-wool Dem and union guy. He hated Romney (called him "Willard"), and mocked Ryan. The Dem's clever, demagogic class-warfare lies were tailor-made for people like him.Yet he understood how bad Benghazi was. He is pro-gun and pro-military.

The nation's largest sitting on track this year for its fewest number of homicides on record.
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that today at a police graduation ceremony he often calls New York the safest big city in America.
There have been 414 homicides in New York City so far this year that's the lowest number.
Rate I should say murder rate since the city started keeping it reliable records in 1963.
Meanwhile the city of Chicago could soon mark a grim milestone.
The most homicides in four years an appointment is live -- -- show us what reason does Mayor Bloomberg give for the drop in murders.
And getting in -- -- mayor Michael Bloomberg says the a new and improved police initiatives championed by police chief Ray Kelly.
One initiative is called operation -- allows the NYPD to track crime and then set up zones where more police -- patrol.

Winning numbers: 5-23-16-22-29 PB: 06
SYRACUSE -- The winning numbers to the $579,900,000 jackpot were announced Wednesday night.
The winning numbers are 5-23-16-22-29 and the Powerball number is 06.
The millions who played had a 1 in 175,223,510 chance of getting the numbers right. Candice Dance, an OCC math professor, said there's a variety of unlikely occurrences that would happen before an individual got those numbers right.
"If you were pregnant, your likelihood of having quintuplets is more likely than winning the Powerball jackpot, if you are a golfer, you are 11 times more likely to get a hole in one twice on the same day than you are to win this jackpot," Dance said.
Experts say there was a 75 percent chance an individual got the numbers right on Wednesday night.

KJR reporter

RENTON - The Seattle Seahawks got a huge boost as they prepare to enter the postseason next week as CB Richard Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy.
Sherman tweeted just after 9 a.m. that he had won his appeal and would not be suspended.
"Thank you @nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord."
"I won," he tweeted.
The full decision on the appeal by arbiter Robert E. Wallace Jr. was released later Thursday confirming that Sherman's appeal was upheld and that his suspension had been nullified.
"In this case, after weighing the differing testimonies of the only two people with first-hand knowledge, Mr. Sherman and Mr. (Mark) Cook (the tester), I do not believe the burden has been met that the departures, especially in the actual collection of the sample, did not materially affect the validity of the positive test."
"Accordingly, Mr. Sherman's appeal is granted and the discipline is reversed," Wallace Jr. wrote.
Sherman said he felt there were issues with the testing the day it occurred.
"It was a weird day, it was a weird testing procedure, and a lot of things went wrong on that day and that is why the results came out the way it did because he made a mistake and did things wrong," Sherman said. "If it wasn't for that there wouldn't have been a positive test, everything would have went normal, and there would have been no positive test."
Even so, he was still surprised to hear of the positive test.
"I was still surprised, but I knew that it had something to do with that," Sherman said.
The news was first leaked to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com over a month ago that Sherman and CB Brandon Browner were facing suspensions for testing positive for a banned substance. Pending suspensions are not supposed to be made public. League personnel are forbidden from talking about violations per the CBA and would face a substantial fine for doing so.
Yet with Browner and Sherman, someone leaked the news to Schefter, putting their cases in the public spotlight before they had a chance to go through the appeals process. Instead of appealing the positive test outside of the public eye, Sherman has had to deal with the stigma of testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs for over a month.
Sherman was asked Thursday if it was frustrating for him that it was made public before the process played out.
"Oh, that's going to be dealt with also," Sherman said.
Sherman had said on Wednesday he intended to sue the league if he was indeed suspended. It seems as though that may still be a possibility for Sherman despite the positive ruling.
Sherman said many people had told him to just serve the suspension in order to get back on the field sooner because his odds of winning the appeal were low.
"There was always people that said the chances are slim to none, I told them my chances have always been slim to none. And I've always found a way to win those. You don't make it this far without getting through some kind of adversity," Sherman said.
S Earl Thomas said it made his day better to know Sherman was going to be able to keep playing.
"I came in a little shaken up just because you don't know," Thomas said. "That's my brother back there and it definitely feels good for him to take this journey and be on this team with us."
"It just definitely feels good for the NFL, whoever made the decision, to make the right one because he's not on any steroids by any means."
Ultimately, Sherman is just happy the process is behind him and he can continue playing with him teammates into the playoffs.
"I'm just excited, just knowing for sure I'll be able to go out and play with my teammates," Sherman said. "I think we have a great chance of making a pretty good run, and the way everybody is rolling right now, the way Russell Wilson is playing, our offense, Marshawn, and our defense is playing, I think we have a shot to go out there and play some good ball."

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a branch of Women's Health which includes high-risk pregnancy where the mother or baby or both has a problem. For most women the expectation is that pregnancy will be a happy time without problems and most will not need MFM services. However for the women who do these services are provided throughout New Zealand.
