In the worksheet on co-ordinate triangle we need to find the area of a triangle where the three co-ordinates of the vertices are given.Let us recall the formula for finding the area of a triangle formed by joining the three given points as follows; In terms of Cartesian co-ordinates the area of a triangle formed by joining the points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is ½ | y1 (x2 - x3) + y2 (x3 - x1) + y3 (x1 - x2) | sq. units or, ½ | x1 (y2 - y3) + x2 (y3 - y1) + x3 (y1 - y2) | sq. units. In terms of polar co-ordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) of the vertices A, B, C respectively. ∆ ABC = 1/2 | (x1 y2 + x2 y3 + x3 y1) - (x2 y1 + x3 y2 + x1 y3) | sq. units.To learn more Click Here.1. Find the area of the triangle whose vertices have co-ordinates: (i) (3, 2), (5, 4), (2, 2) (ii) (6, 2), (- 3, 4), (4, - 3) (iii) (0, 0), (a cos α, a sin α), (a cos β, a sin β) (iv) (a cos α, b sin α), (a cos β, a sin β) , (a cos γ, b sin γ) (v) (at12, 2at1), (at22, 2at2), (at32, 2at3) (vi) (ct1, c/t1), (ct2, c/t2), (ct3, c/t3). 2. The area of the triangle formed by joining the points (2, 7), (5, 1) and (x, 3) is 18 sq. units. Find x. 3. The polar co-ordinates of the vertices of a triangle are (1, 5π/6), (2, π/2) and (3, π/6); find the area of the triangle. 4. If the polar co-ordinates of the points A, B ,C, D be (2√2, π/4), (4/√3, 2π/3) and (2√2, -5π/4) respectively, then show that the points A, B, C are collinear.

HAND SCRAPINGTGA® True Geometric Accuracy®
Kitamura hand scrapes all mounted surfaces requiring assembly in order to provide the full surface contact and proper alignment that exceeds the fit and finish of mounting surfaces when machined. This labor intensive process ensures accuracy, long-term reliability and peak performance. True Geometric Accuracy® means Kitamura Mycenters® never use geometry compensation in manufacture to adjust squareness, parallelism or perpendicularity, only the "hands-on" craftsmanship and attention to detail that truly makes Kitamura the Premier Machining Center.
First, a tinted paste is applied to the bed casting or other contact surfaces of the machine tool during assembly.
Secondly, a stretch (or perfectly flat tool) is passed over areas highlighted by the tinted paste allowing the engineer to see any areas that may not be even or level.
Blue tinted marks are visible from the paste and represent the areas that need to be hand-scraped and properly fit to ensure geometric alignment of the machine tool.
The hand-scraping process is labor intensive and must be performed by skilled craftsman who are trained in the technique. Machine components must be placed then removed up to 5 times to confirm that the machine base is both level and square.
Kitamura currently has over 100 assembly engineers who are certified in hand scraping techniques. Shown above is a completed bed casting of a vertical machining center to which the column will be placed.
Hand-scraping and the hand fitting of components allow for true geometric tolerances and long machine tool life. Accuracies of up to 0.000040"/Full Stroke are able to be achieved as a result of this time honored tradition.
For long machine tool life, and day-in, day-out accuracy & repeatability, construction counts.

Production year: 2013
Genre: Romanian, Shaved, Fair skin, Small tits, Handcuffs, Other toys, Ball licking, Blowjob, Glamour, High Heels, Lingerie, Cum in mouth, Brown eyes, Brunette
Duration: 00:16:34
In today's roleplay scene, Kandall waits at home for her guy Sabby to come home from work, but when he arrives, he's got a surprise for her in his briefcase ... handcuffs, and a weird bridle which he puts over her face and head and which keeps her mouth open for the plunging of his cock. Soon he's got her kneeling before him to fuck her face, her tits hanging over the front of her green dress. Because the bridle holds her mouth open, the drool accumulates and pours down along her chin. He takes her mouth in various positions as the saliva keeps seeping out of her lips, and her eyes narrow in wonderment of the strange paths that a woman's life can take. It looks like Sabby cums in her mouth, but it's almost hard to tell with all the drool that keeps pouring from her stretched open lips. See all this extreme sex in a fetish XXX video.

Elscint Stacking Machine
Press release from: Elscint Automation
This Machine is mounted on a table frame having size of 1400 mm x 700 mm x 620 mm. A Hopper having storing capacity of 50 litres / 130 Ltrs. is placed on the left hand side. From this hopper the components when loaded will be unloaded into the tray of Elscint Linear Feeder, having some inclination. This will allow the components to move into the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder which has a Level Controller. Thus, when adequate quantity of the components are lowered into the bowl, the Elscint Linear Feeder will be switched off. Whenever the quantity in the Bowl goes below a predetermined lever, the Elscint Linear Feeder will be activated and loading of the components into the Elscint Vibratory Feeder Bowl will restart.
The Components will move upwards on the track of the bowl and in the path they will be oriented according to the users requirement and only properly oriented components will be lowered into the metal magazine in front of the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder.
Metal magazines, total 6 to 12 in number depending upon the Component size are mounted on an Indexing Table, which is operated by Festo make Pneumatics.
Two proximity switches are mounted to sense the component level onto the metal magazine. When the components are filled upto the level of both the proximity switches then the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder will be switched off and pneumatic solenoid having 230Volts AC powered coil will be operated and indexing table will be move to the next stage, bringing the empty magazine at the loading station. At this point the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder will start again and stacking operation will continue.
In case the components cannot be stacked properly due to their in built dimension, an Elscint Agitator Vibrator can be provided at the lower level, which is having Rt. angular holder where the Components will be resting while being stacked. This Elscint Agitator Vibrator is timed to start and stop, which imparts the vibration to the stacked components. Due to these vibrations the components, which are not stacked properly, are given rotary movement get properly stacked.
This system uses Elscint Vibratory Feeder Model 250 or 400, Elscint Linear Feeder Model I or II, Elscint Hopper Feeder, Elscint Indexing Table and Elscint Agitator Vibrator. Such other custom built Automation Systems can also be manufactured according to user requirements using the above Elscint Products.

Dundaga Travel guide
Dundaga : Michelin's recommendations
To the south of Cape Kolka, Dundaga is the birthplace of Arvids Blumentals, a "famous" Latvian who left for Australia and became the inspiration for Crocodile Dundee. Having learnt this, visitors will be unsurprised by the statue of a crocodile, by far the most curious thing in the village. More in keeping with expectations and equally (if not vastly more) agreeable is the medieval castle that overlooks the shores of its lake.

Embrace the character and color of Shoreditch, a creative haven for artists and designers.
In Shoreditch, empty walls are future murals. The neighborhood's industrial warehouses and dingy side streets offer plenty of potential space waiting to be reimagined. Old brick warehouses have transformed into interactive art galleries, and countless buildings have served as Banksy's canvases. Shoreditch's appeal as a creative playground stems (at least, in part) from an urban, gritty underbelly, but clean-cut treasures aren't in short supply—Shoreditch's design sensibilities also influence its trendy pubs and cafes.

Uff..limpieza muy muy deficiente, un calor horrible, no funciona el aire acondicionado, no está a 15 minutos de donde tienes que recoger la llave. Escaleras de acceso a la vivienda en mal estado. No lo recomiendo.
L'appartement etait agreable et tres bien situe, dans un beau quartier propre et tranquille, a deux pas des trams, tres pres du centre touristique et du fleuve. Remise des clefs sans problemes, bon service.
Petites critiques: sur 3 trousseaux de clefs remis, seul un pouvait ouvrir toutes les serrures de la porte de l'appartement. Pas de grand saladier ni de grande casserole pour 7-8 personnes, (au besoin prevoir de les apporter).
Somme toute: tres bon rapport qualite prix. A recommander.
Sie Schlüsselübernahme verlief problemlos, einzig mussten wir €200 Kaution in bar hinterlegen (da ich keine Kreditkarte besitze). Unseren gemieteten Parkplatz zu finden war nicht so leicht, da wir mit einem größeren gerechnet haben. Das ganze Haus besteht aus Apartements, dadurch lauter, die Lage ist zentral, aber recht laut. Die Wohnung selbst ein ausreichend, aber ein bissl abgewohnt, unser Warmwassee funtionierte nicht. Der Rücktausch von Schlüsseln (Apartement & Parkgarage) und Kaution klappte nicht wie vorher vereinbart per Reinigungspersonal, das kostete uns Zeit und war ärgerlich.
Très bien situé, très propre, spacieux.
The apartment was spacious and had loads of character and charm. It is in a wonderful location: close to shops and restaurants and only a short walk to the city centre. We only had two minor frustrations with the apartment: 1) the washing machine did not work too well, 2) the beds were a little hard. Apart from these two minor points we loved the apartment and found the staff professional and very helpful.
Good apartment. Lift from ground floor essential if elderly/infirm as on 6th floor. Ideal location next to the River and a 10/15 min walk to Old Town and Wenceslas Square. Lovely views from balconies and good base with local bars /restaurants nearby, Third bedroom is in attic with stairs from lounge and some headheight restrictions. Great base for first visit to Prague golfing/city break. Would use again.
Super apartment that was what we needed and no doubt it'll be this apartment again if we were to get past Prague.
Super lejlighed, der var hvad vi havde brug for og er ikke i tvivl om det blir denne lejlighed igen hvis vi skulle komme forbi Prag .
Hello. The service from you was spotless, everyone we came in contact with was hyggelige.Leiligheten was big and nice. The kitchen was clean and well equipped .. The beds were good. The apartment was very well presented. But .... The floors were filthy, there was an old deodorant on the floor in one bedroom, it was dusty at night table and table / benches. It should have been informed that the man had to go through one of the bedrooms to get to another bedroom. Incredible worn, cheap table in the living room, which can easily and reasonably could have been shifted to new and made it nicer. The chairs in the kitchen was lealøse and we were afraid they were going to fall apart when we sat on the. There should have been at least two towels for each guest when one lives in three days. Lamps were broken lock on one bathroom door was broken. In the bathroom you must get a shower curtain and wall-mounted shower heads. The apartment could have been sooo much better and pleasant with small, inexpensive adjustments. Otherwise we had a great long weekend with beautiful weather. The apartment is best suited for three couples. Regards Anne Grethe
Hei. Servicen fra dere var upåklanderlig, alle vi var i kontakt med var hyggelige.Leiligheten var stor og fin. Kjøkkenet var pent og bra utstyrt.. Sengene var gode. Leiligheten lå veldig sentralt. Men.... Gulvene var skitten, det lå en gammel deodorant på gulvet på det ene soverommet ,det var støvete på natt bord og bord/benker. Det burde vært opplyst at mann måtte gå igjennom et av soverommene for å komme til et annet soverom. Utrolig slitte, billige bord i stuen,som lett og rimelig kunne vært skiftet til nye og gjort det hyggeligere. Stolene på kjøkkenet var lealøse og vi var redd de skulle falle fra hverandre når vi satt på de. Det burde ha vert minst to håndklær til hver gjest når man bor i tre døgn. Lamper var ødelagt, lås på ene badedøren var ødelagt. På badet må dere få dusjforheng og vegghengte dusj hoder. Leiligheten kunne blitt sååå mye bedre og hyggelig med små, billige justeringer. Ellers så hadde vi en flott langhelg med nydelig vær. Leiligheten passer best for tre par. Mvh Anne Grethe
Very nice flat, even with many people a lot of space and the location in town is fantastic. The handover and return were super easy and simple.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The University of Georgia volleyball team improved to 5-0 on the season with a 3-0 win over Florida A&M in the FSU Invitational in Tallahassee, Fla. The win was the second of the day for Georgia, as it defeated Florida International 3-0 earlier in the day. The Bulldogs have won each of their past four matches by scores of 3-0.
"We had two very strong matches today and are happy to get two wins under our belts," head coach Lizzy Stemke said. "We had some new players step up with very gutsy performances tonight. We're excited about the wins today and look forward to playing Florida State tomorrow morning."
For the second time today, Jasmine Eatmon led the team in attack percentage, hitting at a .438 clip and tying for a team-best eight kills. Tirah Le'au also finished with eight kills, registering a .333 attack percentage. Maggie Baumert paced the offense with 19 assists, with Kaylee Kehoe accounting for 14 assists.
Briana Bahr led the Bulldogs on the defensive side, finishing with five total blocks, including one solo, while Elena Perri added four blocks. Allison Summers led the way with 15 digs, followed by Chloe Buckendahl with 11. As a team, Georgia held FAMU to a .141 attack percentage.
Georgia and FAMU kept it close in the first set, tying five times before a kill by Brittany Northcutt gave the Bulldogs a three-point lead at 10-7. FAMU fought back and tied the set five times before kill by Perri sparked a five-point Georgia run that put it on top 20-15. FAMU tied the set at 21, before Georgia answered by scoring the final four points of the set to win it 25-21.
The Bulldogs opened the second set strong, jumping out to a 6-2 lead that forced the Rattlers to call its first timeout. Following the break, the Bulldogs extended its lead to 16-6, including a four-point run that saw kills by Perri and Northcutt. FAMU pulled within two at 22-20, but a pair of FAMU errors gave the Bulldogs a 24-20 lead. Stacey Smith sealed the 25-20 win with a kill.
Georgia rallied from a 3-0 deficit to take an 8-4 lead in set one behind the serve of Summers, which included a pair of aces. Georgia scored four-straight points that forced FAMU to call a timeout at the 13-10 mark. With Eatmon serving, the Bulldogs were able to extend their lead to five at 17-12, before Florida A&M tied the set at 19. Georgia scored six of the final seven points of the match, including two on Eatmon kills, to take the set 25-20 and the match 3-0.
Georgia returns to action tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m., against tournament-host and ninth-ranked Florida State. It will be the Bulldogs first match of the season against a nationally ranked team.

I became intrigued after learning that Fruitvale Station won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival, an unusual parlay that indicates critical approval as well as popular support. This is all the more impressive considering that it's Coogler's feature-film debut.
His first, and best, move was casting charismatic Michael B. Jordan in the leading role of Oscar Grant. As the story is told in a series of flashbacks, we learn that Oscar has recently served time; in prison and on the streets, a volatile temper too often makes him his own worst enemy. His girlfriend (well played by Melonie Diaz) is loyal and loving even when he screws up, while their adorable young daughter (Ariana Neal) brings out the best in him. His long-suffering mother (Octavia Spencer, in another finely-tuned performance) holds out hope that he can get his act together and become the upstanding family man he says he wants to be.
The movie doesn't set itself up as a morality tale; it's simply a slice of life, and it's that unpretentious mindset that makes it so effective.


text: Photo Gallery First Color Mars-Rover Pictures + Space Shots of Crashed Gear The hits keep coming: After nailing a "crazy" landing, Curiosity sends images of its new home, while an orbiter snaps the rover itself. PUBLISHED Wed Aug 08 03:06:00 EDT 2012 0 1 / 7 New Horizon In its first color picture from the surface of Mars, released Tuesday, NASA's Curiosity rover shows the rim of its new home, 15,000-foot-deep (4,600-meter-deep) Gale Crater, shortly after landing on Monday. The photo was shot with the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on the end of Curiosity's robotic arm. But because the arm hasn't yet been fully activated and the rover isn't yet mobile, the camera for now can point only in the direction dictated by the landing position."We can't control the orientation of the rover on landing," Peter Theisinger of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said at a pre-landing press conference. "If it's pointed at the mountain, we'll get a great picture of the mountain. If it's pointed at the rim, we'll get a great picture of the rim."Actually, the idea of a great picture may be a bit optimistic at the moment, regardless of orientation. Dust kicked up by the Mars landing has settled on the transparent shield meant to protect the camera during descent. In about a week, though, the cap will be removed, NASA scientists say, allowing sharper images in the future. —Richard A. Lovett Image courtesy MSSS/Caltech/NASA Curiosity, Sharp Shooter Ansel Adams, eat your heart out.On the opposite side of the rover, one of Curiosity's eight hazard-avoidance cameras shot this black-and-white picture of the rover's shadow stretching toward Mount Sharp on Monday.Centered in Gale Crater, the 18,000-foot (5,500-meter) peak "is taller than any mountain in the lower 48 [U.S.] states," geologist John Grotzinger, part of the Curiosity team, said at a July 16 press conference. The goal is for the rover—also called the Mars Science Laboratory—to climb Mount Sharp and analyze layers spanning all of Mars's major geological epochs.Along the way, the so-called Hazcams will help spot obstacles that could stymie even this remarkably capable rover.Curiosity is capable of climbing slopes inclined up to 30 degrees, depending on the firmness of the surface."We [have done] simulations with the engineering teams to find paths that we could be very secure in," Grotzinger said. "If one doesn't work, we can go down and pick another."(See "Curiosity Landing on Mars Greeted with Whoops and Tears of Jubilation.") Image courtesy MSSS/Caltech/NASA Flying Saucer Two and a half minutes before landing Monday—and four miles (seven kilometers) up—Curiosity's Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) snapped this low-resolution picture of its falling, 15-foot-wide (4.5-meter-wide) heat shield.The shield, which protected the rover from 3,500-degree (1,900-degree-Celsius) friction heat during the descent, is shown three seconds after being ejected by the Mars rover.The shield's separation was crucial to expose not only Curiosity's wheels but also its underside radar equipment. The radar enabled Monday's flawless landing by providing crucial altitude and velocity data. (Pictures: Mars Rover's "Crazy" Landing, Step by Step.) Image courtesy MSSS/Caltech/NASA Full Sail High above Curiosity, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) caught this picture of the rover dangling from its parachute about one minute before landing on Monday. The parachute cords can't be seen, but details of the parachute design are clearly apparent.Shortly after this image was taken, the rover released its upper heat shield (visible above) and the attached parachute to begin the rocket-powered phase of Curiosity's descent.The parachute picture was no snap to take. MRO's HiRISE camera team needed months to make sure the orbiter was pointed in precisely the right direction at the right time. (Video: Mars Curiosity Rover Landing a Success-NASA Jubilant.)"We rely on the engineers to calculate everything perfectly for us," HiRISE camera team leader Alfred McEwen told the Arizona Daily Star. "You just have to double- and triple- and quadruple-check everything."(Explore an interactive time line of Mars exploration in National Geographic magazine.) Photograph courtesy U. Arizona/NASA Seen From Space Another Monday picture by the orbiter shows Curiosity's parachute, still attached to the upper heat shield, on Mars—a safe distance from the landing spot of the rover itself.(On TV: Watch Martian Mega Rover August 9 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on the U.S. National Geographic Channel.) Image courtesy U. Arizona/NASA Crash Scene Investigation Looking something like scorch marks, the dark areas shown in an orbiter's picture were actually created by the planned crash of the "sky crane" lander, which exposed darker, lower Martian soil Monday. While hovering above Mars earlier, the rocket-powered lander gingerly lowered Curiosity to the surface.When Curiosity was safely on the ground and the sky-crane tethers released, the rocket used its remaining fuel to zip toward its doom at an angle, to avoid crashing atop the rover. The lander itself is too small to be seen, but the longest streaks are about 400 feet (120 meters) long.In addition to the parachute, upper heat shield, and sky-crane vehicle, NASA scientists believe that they've spotted both the rover and its lower heat shield in images from the orbiter. So far, however, these two are only tiny dots in the wide-angle photos of Gale Crater.

The Hills' Lauren Conrad Tops the Bestseller List…Again!
February 15, 2010 08:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
Lauren Conrad, former star of MTV's hit reality show The Hills, has found major success in yet another arena: books. The reality star-turned-magazine-editor-turned-fashion-designer-turned-young-adult-author has just released her second novel, Sweet Little Lies, which has soared to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List. This isn't the first time LC has experienced this honor though…
We admit it: we were  more than a bit skeptical when we heard the news that The Hills star, Lauren Conrad, had signed a three-book contract to write young adult novels, but we aren't all that surprised to see the young starlet have such luck with it. After all, her reality TV fan base consists primarily of the very girls she's writing for, so it's no wonder that Lauren Conrad has found huge success as a young adult author.
The former reality TV star released her second novel, Sweet Little Lies, on February 2nd. The follow-up to her bestselling novel, L.A. Candy, has already topped the New York Times Bestseller List. "It's so gratifying for my second book to be so successful and it was so fun to write! The characters were already developed so I really enjoyed the process so much more this time around," Conrad says. "All the characters have become like my friends now."
The book follows the adventures of Jane Roberts, a beautiful nobody who finds fame on a reality TV show and struggles to handles the pitfalls that come with her newfound celebrity status. Hmm, sounds familiar, doesn't it?. Conrad was only a teenager when MTV cast her in Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. It wasn't long before the young beauty was given her own spin-off show, The Hills and a fabulous Hollywood lifestyle to go along with it.
Conrad has been traveling across the country on a book tour to promote Sweet Little Lies. Apparently the snowy weather hasn't kept her fans away. "I'm just so thankful to my fans. Everyone is coming out to see me in the snow," she says. "I just can't believe it."

American Rivers applauds Wyden and Merkley for championing the Molalla River
Oregon Senators introduce federal legislation to protect the Molalla RiverJune 26th, 2009

Kavita Heyn, American Rivers, 503-827-8648, cell: 971 409 8779
Caitlin Jennings, American Rivers, 202-347-7550, ext. 3100

Washington – American Rivers today applauded Oregon Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) for introducing new legislation in the Senate that will protect the Molalla River in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The Molalla River Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 2009 will protect 21 miles, and approximately 7,000 acres of riverside land, through Wild and Scenic River designation. This is a companion bill to legislation introduced in the House of Representatives on June 9, 2009, by Rep. Kurt Schrader (OR-5).
"The Molalla is truly one of our state's crown jewels. Wild and Scenic designation will help protect this river, the drinking water it provides, and its fish and wildlife from the threats of overuse and climate change," said Kavita Heyn, Associate Director of Oregon Conservation Programs for American Rivers. "We thank Senators Wyden and Merkley for being champions for the Molalla River, and again praise Congressman Schrader for crafting this important bill."
The Molalla River is the main drinking water source for the cities of Canby and Molalla. The river is only 50 miles from Portland, but remains a true remnant of the historical Oregon landscape, winding through cedar, hemlock, old-growth Douglas fir forests and basalt rock canyons. The river provides cold, clean waters and habitat for wildlife and native fish. However, more and more visitors each year use the river, putting the river and its values at risk if they are not safeguarded. Also, climate change threatens the Molalla River's wild winter steelhead and spring chinook through increases in stream temperature and changes to stream flows.
American Rivers worked with the Molalla River Alliance, who spearheaded this Wild and Scenic campaign. The Alliance is a diverse coalition of over 45 local groups that include Clackamas County, the City of Molalla, private landowners, and the Molalla Police, among many others.
A Wild and Scenic designation protects the land along both sides of a river, blocks dams and other harmful water projects, and preserves a river's free-flowing nature. It also helps protect and improve water quality, as well as the river's unique historic, cultural, scenic, ecological, and recreational values. Designation can also bring economic benefits to the surrounding region as well by supporting recreation and tourism and increasing the quality of life.
There are more Wild and Scenic Rivers in Oregon than in any other state in the nation. In March, thanks to the efforts of American Rivers and our partners, President Obama signed the second largest Wild and Scenic Rivers package in history into law, protecting more than 90 new river miles in Oregon, bringing the nationwide total of Wild and Scenic Rivers to 252.

Not having watched the opening of the Olympic Games I am unable to comment at first hand on the ceremony, but an article in Le Figaro today greatly surprised me. The author suggests that the view of British history presented at the opening came from a left-wing slant, a soft Marxist view of our inheritance. That is an opinion that I can neither challenge or support, but the surprise, shock even, came with learning what was left out of the presentation. The article claims that there was no reference to the Bard, to Newton, Elizabeth II or Alexander Fleming. What impression of British history is given when such figures are overlooked?
The contribution to the world that Britain has made is enormous. If Newton wasn't mentioned, did Darwin fare better? Did Livingstone get his nose pushed out? Where were Adam Smith and J.M. Keynes? I could go on with a list of people who have contributed to the development of Britain, and the world at large, but that list would overload the blog. If the author of the French article is correct, those responsible should be ashamed of a partial representation of the British people.

Well...after doing really well during my month off after the surgery - the first week back to work has been kinda rough. My diet and sleep habits went to crap, and being on my feet all day at work caused my knee to puff up like a balloon.
This of course is very bad, but not so bad that I can't remedy the ill effects of the last week in 2-3 weeks of focused rest/training and diet.
Now, I'll get my act back together, but I've really done the "two steps forward, one step back" - so, I've been thinking that in addition to just getting on top of my daily routine again I might benefit from taking a week or two off to do some focused training sometime in April or May.
My first "A" race is on the last weekend of May, everything before that is just an opportunity to snag more upgrade points and top 10s.
What I'm thinking about doing is driving out to the mountains of Boone/Asheville and putting in a big, big, big week. Something like 25-30 hours, and 1500+ TSS. Provided I experience no additional knee issues between then and now, the intent of that weekish would be to provide a hefty shock to the system to force adaptation. I'd then take the following week easy, and return to normal training after that. Plus, I like riding my bike in the mountains
Is this a stupid idea? If so, how stupid? If no - any suggestions?

...or is it because none of the various theories don't cut it (yet)?
Not one of them seem to have universal appeal when the "solution" angle is considered. Most of the various pundits energy seems directed at taking out the "bad" aspects of any competing proposals. Natural selection at work perhaps?

Home : Seminary News
FORT WAYNE, IN (CTS)—In the last several days much has been circulated concerning a small, papyrus fragment of Coptic text which has been dubbed the Gospel of Jesus' Wife by Professor Karen King of Harvard Divinity School. These types of "finds" always create quite a stir and that is why Dr. Charles Gieschen, Academic Dean and Professor of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana, has studied this material and offered a brief analysis of its significance. His response may be read and downloaded at www.ctsfw.edu/response-to-the-gospel-of-jesus-wife.
Dr. Gieschen, who earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan (1995) where his studies included the Coptic language and Gnostic writings, is an excellent resource for this topic. He has examined the digital image of this fragment, King's article and some early feedback of other scholars. His brief response walks the reader through the history of the fragment, discusses the various interpretations and comments on the import of the fragment. Dr. Gieschen concludes, "This fragment, therefore, may assist us in understanding the teaching of a Gnostic group concerning Jesus and His marital status, but it does not help us to understand the teaching of the historical Jesus or His actual marital status."
The best place to look for early and historically reliable evidence of Jesus' life, as Dr. Gieschen notes, is the four canonical Gospels. This fragment does nothing to displace the testimony of these Gospels that Jesus supported marriage as a divine institution, but was not himself married.

Small changes for health
BY Kris Franken body+soul
These easy lifestyle tweaks will turbo-charge your sense of vitality
There are times when we would all like to turn our health around, yet it is hard to imagine undertaking big changes all in one go. Here is a guide to making small shifts and reaping serious benefits in your diet, fitness and sleep.
Embrace mint tea: Coffee might be a good way to kick off your morning but, says body+soul nutritionist Lisa Guy, too much of it can overstimulate your nervous system, affecting your sleep and depleting the body of nutrients. In the afternoon, try peppermint tea for a natural pick-me-up, which also helps with digestion.
Darken your space: Research has found that excessive exposure to light at night disrupts sleep, so try to switch off your mobile, game console, computer and TV at least 30 minutes before you want to get some shut-eye. It is also a good idea to avoid illuminated alarm clocks.
Set a routine: A relaxing pre-bed ritual is worthwhile, says Dr Maree Barnes, a sleep specialist at The Austin Hospital in Melbourne. "It's not that important what you do, so long as you do more or less the same thing every night. It sends a message to the brain: 'Okay, in half an hour I'm going to walk into the bedroom and sleep'."
Try listening to some soothing ambient-style music, get passionate with your partner or sprinkle your pillow with a few drops of lavender, neroli, chamomile, frankincense or sweet orange essential oil. And of course, try a relaxing bath.
Plan your meals: One of the easiest and most effective ways to boost your diet is by planning ahead. Make a little time every weekend to prep your fridge, pantry, desk and handbag with a range of healthy food for the week. Start with a manageable meal planner and a thorough shopping list and you are well on your way.
Make your own afternoon treats: Sugary treats make for an enticing snack but aren't as good as a homemade, healthy afternoon tea. A stash of berries with yoghurt, honey and crushed nuts will see your sweet tooth satisfied. "The protein will help stabilise your blood-sugar levels, give you a sense of satiety and won't promote weight gain, unlike something sugary," Guy says.
Think about simple switches: There are many alternatives to the foods we automatically reach for that taste just as good but are much better for us. Here are a few swaps to consider: instead of croutons, try walnuts – all the crunch with less fat; instead of dips, try lightly salted edamame (boiled soybeans); instead of rice try quinoa; instead of sugar, try maple syrup and instead of beef mince, try turkey mince.
Swap dessert for a chai tea: Late-night ice-cream or fruity gelato are not the best ways to finish each day. They are both high in sugar and, Guy says, this "causes a spike in blood-sugar levels followed by a drop, which could leave you feeling really flat when you wake up in the morning". Save dessert for special occasions and make yourself a warm, caffeine-free milky chai tea instead.
Do more incidental exercise: Having other people look after your garden, take you to the train station or wash your car gives you more time, which is a valuable thing. But doing these things yourself as often as possible boosts your activity levels and will improve your overall fitness, which can be even more valuable. You will look and feel better for it, no Lycra required.
Do 90 squats a week: If you have ever watched a toddler play, you will notice they don't always bend to pick things up, they mostly squat. Somehow over the years we forget how to do it but the more we practise now, the better we become. Do three sets of 10 squats throughout the day, three days a week, and you'll see the difference.
"Squats are the number one exercise movement you can do," body+soul personal trainer Damien Kelly says. "They target the biggest muscles in the body, they're super effective and good for fat loss and muscle toning of the butt and legs."
Try squatting whenever you are on the phone, playing with the kids or waiting for the kettle to boil. Kelly's top tips for the perfect squat are: maintain your posture throughout (don't hunch and stay long through your spine), keep your heels in contact with the ground, don't let your knees travel too far forward and keep your gaze on the horizon.
See what a difference a few small diet tweaks can make to your calorie intake over the course of a year.

The documentary "The Ballad Of Genesis & Lady Jaye" hits theaters in New York in limited release this weekend. It's an utterly fascinating and bizarre (sometimes queasy) look at identity and pandrogny (review later this week) that happens to center around seminal experimental music figure Genesis P-Orridge, of atonal, industrial noisemakers Throbbing Gristle, who went on to form the still-experimental, but more palatable Psychic TV.
The soundtrack album from Sweet Nothing Records hits on March 12th. And while this writer can't claim to be any kind of Psychic TV expert -- their discography has more than 33 studio albums ranging as far back as 1982, plus over 40 live albums -- one thing this soundtrack album reminds us is that for all their sonic collages, spoken word pieces and multi-media-collective and dada-ist leanings they could bust out a lovely, psychedelic tune in the vein of the Velvet Underground (or more recent example Spaceman 3) if and so they chose, and the latter half of the soundtrack is deep evidence of such.
While deep P-Orridge fans will likely scoff at this sort-of quasi greatest hits, it's not a bad entry point for the sweeter side of the band. Two Thee Majesty tracks -- P-Orridge's spoken word band -- are also included.
01. "Coucou" - Unknown
02. "I Love You I Know" Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Lady J, Bryin Dall, Alice Genese, Psychic TV / PTV3
03. "BB" - Psychic TV / PTV3
04. "I Am Making A Mirror" - Psychic TV / PTV3
05. "Milk Baba" - Psychic TV / PTV3
06. "Maybe It Smells Good or Bad" - Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Bryin Dall
07. "Boys are Girls and Girls are Boys" - Psychic TV / PTV3
08. "The Truth" - Thee Majesty
09. "Wisdom" - Thee Majesty
10. "The Final War (Bleak Box Mix)" - Lady Jaye, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Bryin Dall, Derek Rush
11. "Soul Searching" - Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Derek Rush
12. "White Nights" - Psychic Tv
13. "Mother Jack (A Children's Story)" - Psychic Tv
14. "New York Story" - Psychic TV / PTV3
15. "Alien Brain (Edit)" - Psychic TV / PTV3
16. "Kiss Me (Maggot Brain) (Edit)" - Psychic TV / PTV3
17. "The Thin Garden" - PsychicTV / PTV3
18. "Demilitarized Ozone (Edit)" - Tony Conrad, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Edley ODowd
19. "The Orchids" - Psychic TV

Today, we're taking Clearspring to the next level. I am excited to welcome Ramsey McGrory on as our new CEO. Ramsey joins us from Yahoo! where he led Right Media, the pioneer in the online ad exchange business. From 2004 to 2011 he was with them from start-up what is now a $1 billion annual revenue business. His deep understanding of advertising and data, coupled with a demonstrated ability to deliver value to publishers, advertisers and consumers make him an invaluable addition. Together with our already impressive team, board and investors, we're confident that this move will help us continue our fantastic growth by better serving our customers.
We have experienced phenomenal growth since our first investor came on in 2006.. AddThis is the now web's largest sharing platform used by over 9 million publishers, reaching more than 1 billion people worldwide. We process as much data in one week as the Library of Congress. Launched just last year, our Audience Platform leverages data from AddThis to enable hundreds of brands like AT&T and Sony to connect with hundreds of millions of socially-connected users via real-time advertising. And this growth has been recognized. Last week we were named to Business Insider's Digital 100 Most Valuable Start-ups on the heels of making the Inc500 and AlwaysOn Global 250 Top Private Companies.
We're at an inflection point. If we continue this growth, we will open up opportunities to serve our customers at a scale we never imagined. To date, we've been lucky to bring on amazing people and partners to support our scaling efforts. Our leadership has helped grown the team over 100% in the first half of this year. We are proud to have Springers in McLean, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Lancaster, New Jersey, Atlanta and even India. This spring, IVP joined our already-impressive investor team by leading our $20 million Series D financing. With Ramsey on board, we believe that we can now not only keep this pace, but have the ability to go even faster.

« Project Runway Ends The Season With A Worthy Winner | Home | Reality TV Listings: November 20, 2009 »
Models of the Runway: Irina Carries Kalyn Into The Victory Circle
November 19, 2009 09:54 PM by DA Southern
Models of the Runway finished where Project Runway left us as we know that Irina's model, Kalyn, walks into the modeling history books. Kalyn's star was hitched to Irina's design train and she sashayed herself into a $25,000 payday. As exciting as watching the Models of the Runway was, well, as exciting as Lifetime could make it, we know that it is not the model with the greatest wiggle who eventually gets the prize, but the one who endeared herself to the winning designer.
Kalyn was ecstatic as she realized that she was now the winner of a sweet $25,000 award. The other models were gracious in defeat and, really, what could they say except that their designers would do great and were talented. OK, that is a no-brainer there.
Heidi had the final chat with the girls and Kalyn said that she was indeed excited about winning and that Irina was definitely a fantastic designer. Heidi, with not really anywhere to go with the girls, decided that a clip show was in order and went about showing us all of the highlights from the season.
The funniest of the bunch had to be Lisa's total flubbing of a screen test for a commercial when she could not even say the name of the product. The second funniest moment was when Kalyn said that she wanted to "Be Heidi in her next life.â€
The girls pouncing on Logan as the solitary straight guy was highlighted and even some of the guest judges were smitten with Logan's cuteness as Heidi quizzed the girls and their honest feelings about him. But, of course, no show would be complete without all of the drama scenes, mostly of the designers and their little melt downs.
The funny little bits of the season past was a fun way to end the show and really, how else could you go out. Like its big sister, Project Runway, this little gem of a show was much more of a delight to watch week after week. It is always a bit nice to bring more dimensions to the models who can make or break a design by the way that they strut their stuff.
Like Project Runway, the model with the best presentation week after week, which was Kalyn, was paired with Irina, who showed us all a thing or two about fashion.

Mason Standish "Jack" Holsworth came to Texas with his parents in March of 1910, at the age of sixteen. He enrolled in the Academy at the Gulf Coast University until the family arrived in December. After the University was closed, he and his father began farming rice. They farmed three crops before the canal to furnish water was completed. In January, 1915, at the age of twenty-one, Jack bought his first herd of Brahman cattle. Clay McSparran, manager of the Pierce Estate, helped him select his cattle and register his brand. Two years later he sold them to enlist in the army during World War I.
Upon his return from the army in 1918, Jack resumed his interest in farming and ranching. He bred another herd of 180 head of Brahman cattle, but after the freeze and ice storm in December, 1924, he had only eighty left. He soon bred another herd of good commercial cattle. In 1947 he began breeding a herd of registered Red Brahmans with the purchase of a registered bull, the son of an imported Brazilian bull--Rio Negro. His long range plan was to breed a herd of big, red cattle. This was the foundation of the present day ranching program.
On May 25, 1930, Jack Holsworth married Ethel Sirmon, a school teacher from Markham who was teaching in the Collegeport School. They had four children: Margaret Ann, Thomas Edwin, Phyllis Helen, and Mason Standish II.
Ethel Sirmon attended school in Markham and was graduated from the Markham and Bay City schools. She attended Southwestern University where she received her teaching certificate, and after that, began teaching in the Collegeport school. Her second year of teaching was in Pledger, Texas.
Jack Holsworth served the First Presbyterian Church as Elder, Treasurer and Chairman of the Building Committee for the Manse. He was a Trustee of the Collegeport School Board, Chairman of the Precinct No. 7 Election Board, and was a director of: the Independent Rice Warehouse, Navigation District No. 1, Hawley Cemetery Association, and Matagorda County Livestock Show. He was a member of the American Brahman Breeders Association and the Pan American Zebu Association.
Ethel Holsworth was a member of the Methodist Church in Markham and later the First Presbyterian Church, Collegeport. She was a member of: Woman's Union, Kings Daughters, Woman's Club, Collegeport YWCA, Home Demonstration Club, and held various offices in these organizations. She was also a Trustee and Secretary of the Collegeport School Board, Trustee of the Palacios Independent School District Board, Presiding Judge of Precinct 7 Election Board, and a member of the American Brahman Breeders Association and the Pan America Zebu Association. She was a charter member, the second from the United States, of the Asociation Granadera de Criadores de Cebu en la Republica Mexicana (Mexican Association of Zebu Cattle Raisers).
After the lengthy illness and death of her husband in January, 1959, she, with the aid of her two sons, assumed the operation of Holsworth Farms and M. S. Holsworth Ranch. Thomas managed the farm, Mason managed the ranch, and Ethel the office.
In order to support three families, it was necessary to expand the rice acreage, add the cultivation of milo, and install their own dryer. With Mason as manager of the M. S. Holsworth Ranch, an outstanding herd of Red Brahman Gyr-type cattle, heavy in imported blood was developed and received International recognition. M. S. Holsworth Ranch exported these cattle to South Africa, Mexico, the Central American Countries and Australia. In 1984, one of the bulls from the M. S. Holsworth Ranch exported to Australia was the sire of an embryo that sold for $9000.00 at auction.
Thomas Edwin Holsworth and Mason Standish Holsworth II were active in numerous church, farm, ranch and community organizations.
Margaret Ann Holsworth Hodge - 1984
Historic Matagorda County, Volume II, pp 252-253
Palacios Beacon, May 29, 1940
Funeral services for Mason Standish (Jack) Holsworth, 65, of Collegeport were held in the Taylor Brothers Funeral Home in Bay City Sunday, January 25 at 3 p. m. Interment was in the Hawley Cemetery.
Mr. Holsworth, a resident of Matagorda County for the past 48 years, passed away early Friday morning at the Methodist Hospital in Houston.
He was a member of the Collegeport Presbyterian Church and a veteran of World War I.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ethel Holsworth; two sons, Mason and Thomas; two daughters, Mrs. Phyllis Helen Richman, all of Collegeport and Mrs. Margaret Ann Hodge of Dallas; four granddaughters and one sister, Miss Margaret Holsworth of Collegeport.

παιδες απλα τον παραθετω, δεν θα μπω στην διαδικασια να τον μεταφρασω.
οποιος εχει ορεξουλα ας χωθει.
farming villages
attack screen
farming villages are computer played cities on your island. There are 8 on each island.
To start an attack on a farming village go the the island overview screen and pick a village. Farming villages closer to you will require less travel time than villages further away. The basic information screen of the village will appear. This shows the mood, strength and rate of trade available for that village. Choose the attack tab (2nd tab) and resource looting to send units to this village to gather resources.
Now you must decide which units to send. You want to send units that have a high carrying capacity so that you can gather more resources. To choose the units you are sending you may either click on the units icon to send all of those available units or type in manually in the text box under the unit icon how many of those units you wish to send. You may send a variety of units, one specific class of unit, and as many from each class as you have available.
When you select the unit(s) you are sending the travel time will be displayed. This is for one away travel. Units returning will take as much time to return as they did to travel to the farming village.
if you attack a farm too often its mood will fall dangerously low. Eventually the villagers will defend themselves. The lower the mood and the higher the strength of a village the more opposition you will meet.
* tip: At 100% mood and 100% strength the most resources you can get off a farming village is 6000 total.
Mood and strength
general info tab
the better the mood, the less likely it is the farming village will defend itself. Only you can influence the mood towards farming villages.
* this means the mood for each individual farming village is determined by each player individually. If you hit one farm over and over the mood will keep dropping. On the other hand, the players that haven't hit that farm will have 100% mood on that particular farm.
the strength of the farming village shows how well the farming village is doing. All players on this island can influence the strength.
* this means every player that hits that farming village takes away from its strength and the strength is shared island wide for all players. Not individually like mood. If one player strengthens a farm all players on the island benefit from it.
The greater the strength, the more resources you can gain in total
* if the strength is very low you will not always bring back a full haul from looting. This depends on the strength and the number/types of units you send. You can send 10 swords there and get a full load. Send 12 archers and you may not since archers carry more.
The greater the strength, the lower is the reduction of the mood during an attack.
* the higher the strength the less mood will be deducted when you loot the farm (than would regularly).
The greater the strength, the lower is the reduction of the strength during an attack.
* the higher the strength the less strength will be deducted when anyone loots the farm (than would regularly).
The greater the strength, the more soldiers will be on the defense if there is a resistance.
* if you have low mood and high strength this is a recipe for disaster. The farmers are in low spirits but have the strength to fight you off. This is when you will be attacked and lose troops. This is a player by player scenario as only strength is shared, not mood. You may get attacked by a farm you loot often while another player will not.
Strengthening a village
if the strength of your villages are low then you may want to strengthen them by sending units. To do so go to the island overview screen and click on the village you want to strengthen. Click on the attack tab (2nd tab) and choose increase strength.
Strengthening a village counts as an attack. Your forces are invading the farm in order to make the villagers work harder and produce more.

...and it felt pretty good, too
All these years, while I was perfecting the art of the Couch Potato, she has diligently, faithfully, almost, religiously, gone to the gym and worked out in aerobics, step, toning, yoga and all manner of apparati (treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical, yadda, yadda). The woman is capital "F" Fit. But she's never been a cyclist. That's what I do. She's trying more lately, though, and really enjoys it when she does get in the saddle. She's a good girl
Sooo.. she wanted to go out for a ride on Sunday but isn't too crazy about the road (and cars) so I need to find something out of harm's way yet I try to increase her distance and challenge a bit each time out. She's not a fan of hills, either, particularly DOWN hill (and she doesn't do much in the way of up hill) so I need to plan carefully.
I took her to a beautiful MUP I ride along our watershed/reservoirs -I written about them before- but it a nice little 1/2 mile downhill run to the dam and, yep, to get back to the car, you have to go back up that 1/2 mile. Google shows it as a 5.1% average, Garmin puts it closer to 6% and there are a couple of 8% humps along the way.
First time I climbed it, it was tough. I've done it a couple of times since and it's really not a challenge for me anymore. Well, it was a different kind of challenge this past Sunday. We made the first short climb up to the dam after I gave her a couple of tips and, boy, she was struggling and cursing. We got across the dam and before we started up the 1/2 mile, I told her to get in the lowest gear she has, go at an easy 60-65RPM and I'd pace her up the hill. Well, to do that, I had to get in a MUCH lower gear than I normally would choose and I barely got my HR over 125. Even at that, I'd look back and see that this pacing thing wasn't quite working out... she was wayyyy behind But, dang, she stuck with it and she climbed that sucker. She was really feeling it at the top but when she got there, she was just beaming. I was so proud of her. AND she has a much better appreciation of the condition I'm in, now (thanks to her). I guess I do too. What a great day.

The officially up-voted stance on meta-SO is that it is good to self-answer questions. It is promoted in the FAQ and we even have a badge for it (Self-Learner):
Should I not answer my own questions?
Yet, most SO users still seem to have a bias against self-answers. I have, many times, posted a difficult question, discovered that no one on SO had a good answer for it, done the hard work required to answer it, wrote out an answer, and gotten close to no up-votes. Meanwhile, people who gave very preliminary answers to my question before I solved it have many up-votes as if they were the ones who answered the question.
This happened to me, once again, in the following question. I was trying to find the area of an intersection between two circles. Before asking this question, I googled, of course, and found an article on Wolfram that wasn't specific enough.
I posted to SO, hoping for a more specific answer, using the variables I had available in my program. In response, I got someone else's googling, listing the exact same Wolfram article that wasn't specific enough. This made me realize no one on SO had an answer and that I was going to have to do the work of answering my own question by translating the information in the Wolfram article to a more specific solution. Which I did.
As expected, the person who gave me a link to the general Wolfram article I already knew about before posting has more up-votes than my detailed algorithmic answer:
Area of Intersection between Two Circles
So, is there a better way to translate meta-SO's consensus encouragement of self-answering to the broader community?

What an interesting character is Marty Anspach, a seasonal maintenance guy. This is my first interview with one of our maintenance guys. It's also Marty's first year at Rifle Gap State Park Complex and his position entails keeping all three of our parks pristine, which includes taking care of trash and restrooms. Marty takes great pride in providing all of our visitors a clean, beautiful park. He sincerely appreciates every "thank you" from our visitors for the effort our staff makes. Marty's home town is Fort Wayne, Ind., but he calls Wild Acres Ranch in Rifle his home. On his days off, he works on remodeling his new home. I asked Marty why he wanted to work at Rifle Gap and he said, "After retiring from 50 years of factory work, it is a blessing from the Lord to get to be outside in the mountains. It is heaven on earth." Marty loves meeting all sorts of wonderful people. He estimates he probably meets 100 new people every day. Everyone he meets makes his life a little richer in some way, he says. Marty tells me the hidden treasures at our parks are the people I work with, from our park manager, Aaron Fero, to our volunteer camp hosts and everyone in between. Each and every one has the same goal, which is to make every visitor's experience the best possible.Speaking of camp hosts and volunteers at Rifle Gap State Park.Our summer 2012 camp hosts and volunteers took a moment from their busy day to pose for a photo at Rifle Gap State Park. Volunteers have gathered at Rifle Gap from all over the United States. Some come from our own backyard in Rifle (Larry Bernat) and Parachute (Fred Noble), Basalt (Terry and Sharon Began) and Littleton (yours truly). We have camp hosts Judy and Allen Killion from Plano, Texas (home of J.R. Ewing in the hit TV series "Dallas"). There's Butch and Nancy Beimer from Moody, Texas; Darrell Medders and Dianna Myrick from Kansas, Okla.; and Harris Burns from Parker, Ariz. We can't forget Pat and Gayle Stephens from Covington, La., one of the southern cities that celebrate Mardi Gras. One of our camp hosts, Frank Falke from Bonner Springs, Kan., volunteers all year long. I think he calls Rifle his home. Our three parks are pristine and ready for visitors, weddings, inspections and environmental education programs thanks to these great camp hosts, park naturalist volunteers and all our staff.Rifle Gap, Rifle Falls and Harvey Gap are managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, created with the merger of Colorado State Parks and Division of Wildlife. The agency manages 42 state parks, all of Colorado's wildlife, more than 300 state wildlife areas and a host of recreational programs.

- The Big Thicket National Preserve has nine trails in five land units ranging from 0.5 miles to 18 miles. They run through ecosystems that include eastern hardwood forests, Gulf coastal plains, and Midwestern prairies.
- A premier area for wildflowers from late spring through summer, the Sundew Trail is ideal for families with small children. A booklet guides you through a one-mile loop, mostly boardwalk, through open longleaf pine and wetland savannah.
- Located in the southeast corner of the Big Sandy Creek Unit, this short 1.5-mile loop is ideal for families with young children. It meanders around several ponds formed by old beaver dams and is a great access point for the Big Sandy Creek Unit.

Art History Courses
The Art History faculty is at the heart of the department's undergraduate and graduate curricula. Recognized nationally and internationally, the faculty consists of scholars active in research and publication. Several of its members have been recognized with prestigious awards, such as fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the National Humanities Center, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute for Advanced Study, the Smithsonian Institution, the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, and the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge (UK), among others. Faculty research interests inform their teaching of graduate and undergraduate seminars, as well as foster a lively atmosphere of scholarly exchange during student-faculty interactions. Students are guided to develop their own projects and learn how to effectively research, organize, and construct a successful art historical study, from a simple term paper to a doctoral dissertation.
