Tomorrow, we are having an all-campus meeting for a "question and answer" session with Raja Ram. If there are any questions you guys would like asked, let me know. I'll try to see that they are asked.

Thanks, MUM
I suspect that the kinds of questions we here at TM-Free would like to have answered probably fall into the category of "get out of here and never come back" and I wouldn't want you to be treated like that.
But Joshua asked some interesting questions about fees and courses. That might be an interesting area to ask about: are the international fees all the same, how are they related to the cost of living in individual countries, that sort of thing.
But it would also be interesting to know what the numbers are like: how many are learning TM in the US, in Canada and so on each month. I suspect that the initiations are, as a friend put it, dying like worms on a side-walk in Death Valley.
Are there any "new" programmes that are about to be offered (translation: what new money grab is the TMO coming up with).
How many "rajas" are there.
I guess, because it looks like the TMO is all about money, money-related questions seem to arise.
Privately, not for the meeting, do you know how people in Fairfield are reacting to David Wants to Fly?

Please check out this article from the MUM student newspaper and the clip of one student asking Tony Nader a hard question.

Thanks, MUM
This is brilliant and very, very disturbing. Of course I side with the person who asked the question. That king tony gets away with a smarmy non-answer is not only underwhelming, but so much a clone of Mahesh's way of convincing you that you asked something else for which he gave a brilliant discourse in reply.
It must make you feel very sick to have to associate with people who fall for this line of bullpoop.

The school is really in a bit of an uproar about this situation.. they've called a meeting with Bevan tonight to try to paint over everything with more of the same old stuff.. The school wants to ignore this happened, but there's 115 comments on that blog now that disagree. I think we'd be glad for some non-student input from an outside perspective, so feel free to post.

I see your, and other student's, dilemma from a rear-view mirror perspective. There is no way out, but out. However that realization usually takes a l-o-n-g time, as attested to by so many of us here.
In between the first realization and actually leaving there are miles of hopes, and dreams of what might happen, or what might change. If you are here on this website you know that despite Mahesh's death, things have not changed. The movement is, and always will be, rigid and dogmatic if the True Believers are in charge.

Spot on, Karina
There is not only that l-o-n-g, very long road, but the fears, emerging, long-buried superstitions, what-if's and doubts that are a plague upon all our houses.
What benefited me the most, post-TM, was that I had shifted into something that was much more grounded in reality, the right here and right now itself. No, not my flirtation with Yogananda's Kriya Yoga. That was more a distraction than something beneficial (despite having learned some useful things there, just as I had in TM).
I am not trying to proselytize my own thing but strongly suggesting that rather than being stuck wrestling with the demons of post-(and not so post-)TM apocalypse, one find something compatible that gives not only peace of mind, but grounds you in what is real, tangible, testable, verifiable.
While I am very grateful to MUMstudent for giving us this insight into just how deviously the whole of Maheshism distracts us from the real, tangible, testable and verifiable, I think we have to take that as the caveat emptor that it is and remind ourselves that although living in the actual, factual, real world is not always fun, it is REAL. Living in the mystical mumbo-jumbo of Maheshism may seem like paradise, but one day, this imaginary paradise will uncloak/disintegrate and bite you where it hurts most.

Thanks for your report and the link to the article. I watched the u-tube video with interest.
I'm slightly shocked that a straightforward question by a student would create such an [apparent] uproar. I believe that on the courses I was on with Mahesh and with Jerry --- including Estes Park --- it was expected or at least tolerated that we were going to be inquisitive and forthright when we were there. To raise doubts inside the Movement wasn't considered such a bad thing.
Not that all the answers were/are going to be entirely satisfactory --- but to raise the question of the validity of the physics involved in Tony's "findings" is only natural, especially in an academic setting. (I was surprised to hear that MUM has no physics department!)
Anyway I can't prove it but I would guess a large % of the people inside the Domes don't really care about the pseudo-physics, they just like the way it makes them feel. One of the strengths in the TM catechism used to be (and I assume still is) that you don't have to believe in it for it to work.

I seem to recall that MMY would ridicule the questioner in a very charming way, and get everyone else in the room to support him in this. That was his way of avoiding answering the question and shaming the questioner for having the temerity to challenge him. When I think back on it, it was like re-living the emperor's new clothes. I feel ashamed now that I didn't speak up about it.
- Thursday, November 18, 2010 8:23:00 AM
- John M. Knapp, LMSW said...
Actually, I'm not sure why the guy walked out on Tony -- it seems counter to the spirit of open discourse not to listen to the answer to your question, especially if it comes from an authority figure.
This incident is probably not such a big deal but there are obviously a lot of people on the sidelines (here and in Fairfield) watching, hoping to see cracks in the monolith.

A New Role for Microsoft's BallmerBy Peter Galli | Posted 2006-07-27 Print
As Bill Gates transitions away from working full time at Microsoft, CEO Steve Ballmer will have to become the primary champion of innovation.
REDMOND, Wash.The decision by Chairman Bill Gates to transition away from working full time at Microsoft to assuming a part-time position has ushered in a new era and a new job for CEO Steve Ballmer.
"When Bill announced his role change, I felt like I was entering a new era and had a new job, given the uniqueness of my relationship with Bill over many years," Ballmer said at Microsoft's annual financial analyst meeting at its campus here July 27. "I have never had to be the primary champion of innovation within the company. Bill has always played that role. But, over the next two years, I will have to become the primary champion of innovation at Microsoft."
With regard to Microsoft's longstanding goal of making software a service, Ballmer said this is happening and the Redmond software giant is embracing advertising and subscription-based models and Internet-based delivery across all of its products as an important part of what it does going forward.
He also said the company is like a multicore processor and is looking to add new cores such as entertainment and Internet services to its existing cores of desktop and server software.
The past year has been one of many firsts, he said: This is the first time Gates has not attended Microsoft's financial analyst meeting; instead, he is "in Africa somewhere enjoying a long-planned vacation," Ballmer said.

IPA Lovers Flock to Lazy Boy Saloon; Dogfish 120 Minute on Tap
by Kelly
It's Friday, August 19th, 2011. Not a very significant day in history as far as notable world events are concerned. But the definition of "notable" depends, as always, on who you're talking to. Are you a member of the beer loving community, reside in either Rockland or Westchester County and have a burning passion for IPAs? If you answered a resounding "YES!" to all three of those questions, man oh MAN! Was last Friday night YOUR night!
Lazy Boy Saloon last Friday?! Well, let me just be clear here: I don't pity you, fool. If you were truly passionate and truly dedicated to seeking out the rare and limited IPA releases in your surrounding area, you WOULD have been there. After all, I was. And I'm not really much of an IPA consumer myself. Yeah...take that!
Okay, so I didn't write this post to hurt your feelings. Instead, I wanted to share a discovery I had made while slowly sipping on my very own glass of DFH 120 IPA last weekend. (Just a reminder: the previous letter-number combination is not some bizarre form of an algebraic equation I just made up. It's an abbreviation of the beer mentioned in the title above. Pay attention!) So, what was this discovery of mine that was so enlightening, you ask?! Without further ado, I present to you: the stronger the IPA, the sweeter the taste!
The bitterness can make IPAs unpalatable for certain people. (Ahem.) But after three sips into my first glass of DFH 120 IPA, I actually found myself enjoying the drink. The hops, for once, were not staged front and center; what I was tasting most of all was the sweet maltiness. And this was not an accident. Apparently, the stronger the IPA means more hops, which means more malt. This was certainly an unexpected, but thoroughly enjoyed, surprise.
I'll be honest with you: I only drank one glass of the 120 that night. But it was a damn good glass. Sitting at around 18% ABV, you can't really expect to drink more than a couple of these bad boys and make wise, coherent decisions by night's end. I opted for a pint (or two) of Weyerbacher's Pumpkin Ale instead, which were both garnished with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon. Ahhh, fall is certainly descending upon us!

This past weekend we drove to Houston for two birthday parties and a brunch for Joe and myself. :)
Jason had to drive to Lufkin to visit his grandparents. So, Joe and I drove in on Friday night and crashed. Saturday morning dawned ... mom and dad watched Joe while I went for a run in Memorial Park. It was nice to get to run that park although hotter than the hinges of hell and it's only end of may! oye!
I got the chance to go see my best friend Nicole and visit for a few minutes before getting ready for the party at Pump it Up! Reagan was turning three and Cindy, being the smart one, decided to do the party at a facility other than her house! sooo smart! and Soooo fun!
I think I had more fun than the kids. :-)
Viula and Mathis, Abby and Cindy, Delia and Cooper
Brandi, Amber and Lila (Brandi's daughter)
I thought it would be a great idea to climb up and go down the big slide. I drug my friends with me. :) Cindy was in this shot too but she wasn't smiling.
Don't worry, I made them all do it again!
Joe finally loosened up and had fun.
there was pizza and cupcakes.
and princess chairs.
family photo's (it's hard to get much of me when my dear hubby is so stinkin tall). :-)
and other family photo's.
Great fun to be had by all! Thank you Macmichael family!

The idea of this recipes came from Baked Bree but I gave it a big makeover based on what we had and what sounded good for us. Hints the slight name change. This was awesome pasta!!! I love boursin so I had very little doubts that it wasn't going to be great.
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bag baby spinach
1 package Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
fresh pepper
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
fresh pepper
Cook the pasta according to the directions. In a pot saute the spinach in olive oil with garlic and place in a bowl. Combine the milk, chicken broth and boursin in the pot. Once it's melted add sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, dill, fresh pepper and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. Stir well. Stir in pasta and spinach. Let the mixture sit together for 5 minutes. Serve topped with parmesan cheese.

Tight-lined, smoked, blended or defined in dramatic styles. Eyes adorned with kohl can make you look like the girl next door, the matter-of-fact professional, the fun-loving diva or just your own unique self. The possibilities that are offered by this simple stick of makeup are more than you can imagine. All you need to do is to go ahead and explore.
First things first, you should be absolutely clear on how to highlight that curve perfectly. And just to get started, here is how your most ordinary kajal pencil can come handy.
Get All The Stuff You Need
Yeah and that is not too much to ask for. Staying organised is the stepping stone to becoming a pro at eye makeup. Get your "tools" in one place. Soft tissues, a mirror and your kajal pencil. If the latter is not new, you might also need a sharpener to carve a fine point. The stronger the tip, the easier is the application. In addition, you can also get your mascara and eyeliner if you'd like a more elaborate look.
Pick A Style
Before you start applying the kohl, it is very important to be clear about what style you want to define your eyes in. Here are a few options.
- Apply thick lines on the upper as well as the lower lash
- Break some rules and ditch the liner. Apply a rough line on the top lid
- Darken the lower lash line and leave the top bare
- Go simple with the smokey eye. Just put a thick line on the upper lid and blend it upwards using your fingers or smudging brush
- Create double lines of winged eyes. Just mimic the direction of your winged eyeliner on the bottom lid, using your kajal pencil
- Create the perfect doe eyes by swirling the kohl lines in mini "U's" on the edge
- Play with colours like white, teal or brown. Use them instead of the usual black or in combination with it. The latter looks extremely glamorous and unique
Start With These Steps
Coming down to the actual process, here are the steps to apply kohl perfectly with a pencil.
- Make Your Waterline Prominent
Begin by lightly lining your bottom lid with the pencil. Just as you would create a sketch on paper, carefully create the line that you would want to intensify later on
- Start Filling In
Always work your way inwards when filling your eyelid with kohl. This helps in keeping it symmetrical for both eyes while allowing you the freedom to maintain a particular style that you have chosen
- Add The Special Effects
After you are done with the basics, you can go on adding more to it by creating smokey eye or enhancing the lashes with mascara. Don't forget to put eyeliner on the top lid
- Wipe Off The Unwanted Residue
While using a kajal pencil, some of the kohl may fall on your skin as black dust or powder. Be careful to pick these particles away with soft tissues. Or else, they may end up staining your face in ways least appealing
Depending on your preferred style and the time you can spare, the simple kohl pencil can be used effectively for creating multiple looks. You can also use reference images from The Style Circle to get that perfection every time you apply kajal.

Almost all messages (around 1.600) of the operating system of the calculator can be translated to another language. These are some screenshots of a calculator where almost all messages show up in French.
You can see here a video of the MultiLanguagePack:
Also the constant library is translated, and the menus as well:
But we think that the most significant advancement of the pack is its treebuilder feature. How many times have you lost time, looking for an equation lost in your file system? And, even when found, did you remember how it worked, and what each variable stood for? Which operating conditions is that equation valid for?
The solution is the Treebuilder: you can prepare your own sets with explanations, and ordered as you want. You can create programs with these menus and even libraries to be further distributed ( a professor can distribute his lessons in an equation tree set)
Please take a look at the video below:

Cooking during the week when you're working full time can be stressful. If you don't prepare, you can spend all day wondering what you're going to make. It's this kind of situation that can make you hate cooking and dread the kitchen.
But it doesn't have to be difficult.
Preparing your meals a week at a time is much easier than starting from scratch each day. It also means that you can plan out how in depth you want to go. You can go out and buy bread, or you can plan to bake it yourself.
Make a Favorites List
If you're planning on (or already have) taking over the majority of your household's cooking, the best place to start is by making a list of your favorite meals. These can be as simple as frozen pizza, or as complicated as chicken cordon bleu. Just make a list of everything that you know how to make that your family enjoys.
You probably have at least 15 different meals, right? That's two weeks right there. I would suggest trying to get to around 30 basic meal ideas that you can easily pull from when making a meal plan. If you use each recipe during the course of a month, you'll only be eating the same thing 12 times a year, so you won't get tired of it!
Once you have your list, pick out the ones that may take longer to make than others. I love making chicken alfredo, but only if I make the noodles from scratch. Making noodles takes several days to do right, so if I decide to make that, I'll make sure that the rest of my week is full of easy, "throw it in the pot" recipes.
Unless I got a huge burst of energy, there's no way I'd make noodles, pizza crust, and pastries in one week. Don't overload yourself with work. The best part of making a meal plan is that you get to decide what you'll do.
Check your Pantry
Before writing down your meal plan, check the ingredients that you already have. Chances are, unless you keep a very low stock of ingredients in your house, you've probably got enough to make at least one meal, if not more. By being aware of what we have, we can normally keep our weekly grocery budget under $30, unless we have to make a big meat purchase. For two people, that's not too bad.
Skim the Store Sales
This step can be skipped, and sometimes I do if I don't have the time or interest to check them out. Once you've determined what you can make from your pantry, check the flier for your store and see if there are any ingredients that you can work into a meal.
Write Out Your Meal Plan
Now that you've made a few decisions, make sure you write down your meal plan. Most days my husband picks me up from work and asks "what's for dinner?" About half the time, I have no answer for him. I don't remember what I wrote down, but that's okay. The fact that I wrote it means that I have all of the ingredients and can make it quickly.
As you're writing your meal plan, write your shopping list, too. I write them right beside each other, so if I'm at the store and I wonder why I put something on the list, the answer is right there.
Write Out Your Prep
I also like to write out what prep work I'll need to do for the next day. Normally this consists of transferring meat from the freezer to the fridge to thaw. If I've decided to make something more in depth like meatballs, then I'll transfer the meat to the fridge two days ahead of time and form the meatballs the day before so they're ready to be cooked the day of.
Listing prep work separately is something fairly recent for me, and it's helped so much! I used to make a plan, but then I'd forget to thaw the meat the night before, so I'd get home to completely frozen chicken. I do occasionally still forget that, but it's much less frequent.
Do you have any special tips for meal planning? Let me know!


text: Is there an easier way to call a person other than Phone -> Contacts -> Search -> then find the contact here? I know I can do a short cut and do a direct dial. This method takes home screen space and I can only do a few before it becomes cluttered. I also know I can a home screen folder to Starred Contacts. Once again this method is only good for a small group. What I would like to be able to do it press Phone and then basically be able to search by using the letters on the number pad. I would hope to see contacts pop up as I "dialed" numbers. Any such thing exist? Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!

Back on February 18th, FUNimation announced at Katsucon that they have licensed Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, which will be called "Rumbling Hearts" in the US. The first volume is expected to be released in October 2006. On February 25th, at Megacon, FUNimation also announced that they have licensed the Fullmetal Alchemist sequel film, which will be released on DVD in October, alongside the 13th and final volume of the TV series.
I've heard good things about Rumbling Hearts, so I'm definitely interested in that one. And I assumed FUNi would get the FMA movie considering they have the TV series, but it's nice to hear confirmation on the matter.

Function of Dental Services For Healthy Teeth
It's interesting how some person could look at their lives without ever before requiring anything greater than the fundamental orthodontic solutions. On the other hand, there are those people that have to wear braces for many years or have orthodontic and prosthodontic procedures executed periodically. Nevertheless, dentists have a whole lot more to do with oral wellness than cosmetic procedures. Poor oral health brings about pain as well as discomfort along with the probability of condition.
Upkeep as well as prevention
An additional one of the vital target areas of all dental professionals is the issue of maintenance and prevention with upkeep being the key to far better dental health and wellness and also prevention being the evasion of dental diseases and also other issues by exercising correct orthodontic health. The upkeep as well as prevention routines usually includes two examinations annually that include professional cleansing in addition to examining the problem of one's teeth as well as gums.
The importance of selecting a good dental services provider
New procedures for enhancing oral hygiene as well as the health of a person's teeth are being developed at all times which has actually caused the requirement for more customized oral experts that perform these treatments. When you initially begin looking for a household or personal dental professional, it is incredibly important that you choose the best oral providers.
This isn't really constantly easy as there are essentially hundreds being advertised on a daily basis. Just search in your local area yellow pages or search online to get a suggestion of the quantity of options that are currently available. Simply keep in mind that no two dental practitioners are ever alike. So when you consider more info here how vital they are where oral health as well as health is worried, it is highly crucial that you choose the appropriate oral services provider.
Suggestion for picking the best dental practitioner
For maintaining the very best oral health possible, you should select the very best dentist to address you and your family's requirements. Here are some pointers concerning choosing the most effective dental practitioner and the providers:
o Make a listing of all the dentists in your area and also learn what orthodontic services each one supplies. Some supply cosmetic services while others do not, so make sure to find out.
o Select the particular solutions that you and your household requirement. Ask about the medical experience and any sort of special training the dentist has had in these areas.
o Inquire about their unexpected emergency oral solutions plans so you recognize that if an oral problem emerges outside routine workplace hours that you can have it cared for.
o Learn the place of their offices. It is necessary to have one relatively near you if there is a treatment calling for frequent brows through or if there is an emergency situation.
o Examine the problem of the dental workplace and the health of the dental professional in addition to their assistants and also office workers.
All of these problems are extremely vital when it involves selecting the most effective dental practitioner and the orthodontic services that they supply. Bear in mind, your teeth as well as gums rely on you making the best choice.

The term couch potato was once reserved for anybody who favoured a life spent in the living
Then the games console was invented. Children replaced playgrounds with PlayStations, adults were racing virtual sports cars rather than each other, and a brand new type of potato was born: the gamer.room over one in the great outdoors.
With this came questions. How would it impact on the health of the future generation? And if watching that episode of Friends for the 50th time had the power to keep potatoes on the couch and away from the gym, what damage could an Xbox do?
It is estimated that eight out of ten households in the UK now own a gaming console, but while the popularity of the industry has surged, so too have fears over rising obesity levels. Not least in Scotland, where between 1995 and 2010 the proportion of adults aged 16 to 64 who were overweight or obese (BMI of 25 or more) increased from 52.4 per cent to 63.3 per cent.
Yet just as it seemed likely that the country's obesity crisis was going to be blamed on the latest version of Crash Bandicoot, there came an interesting development. Exercise gaming, pioneered by the Nintendo Wii in 2006, was born. Picking up on the popularity of sports games, Wii encouraged people to join in with the activities on screen, increasing exercise levels while capitalising on the popularity of the gaming culture.
The Wii enables players to participate in a wide variety of sports, from bowling to tennis and water skiing, all from the comfort of the living room. But has gaming evolved into something truly positive for fitness?
Exergaming is now so ubiquitous, every leading console is promoting its own fitness game. And it is not difficult to understand the appeal. A combination of busy lifestyles and a fascination with new technology mean the concept of exercising at home is unquestionably viable. One man who understands the appeal more than most is the CEO of Gamercize, Richard Coshott. "I came across the concept of gaming exercise one school summer holiday on a particularly pleasant day, when I suggested to my sons that we play football in the garden. At the time they were playing FIFA on the PlayStation, and would rather carry on in the World Cup than have a kick-about in the garden. When I insisted they put down the controller and play outside, I realised how out of condition they were from a 'play' regime of electronic sports and decided I needed to do something".
Seeing his sons' reaction to exercise gaming encouraged Coshott to create Gamercize, a company that markets interactive exercise products to work alongside Xbox, PlayStation and Wii. He explains, "The exercise needed to power the controller becomes automatic and unnoticeable to the brain, making the exercise element sustainable, which leads to real health benefits such as weight control, lower resting heart rate and improved physical co-ordination."
Promoters are going out of their way to prove exergaming has real health benefits, yet there are still some significant concerns. Coshott admits the contactless nature of the workout increases the risk of injury, while the lack of encouragement from a virtual trainer may lead to a dip in enthusiasm. Furthermore, a study by the medical journal Paediatrics found the average session on Wii boxing, for example, amounted to the same amount of exercise as moderate walking. So perhaps it's a bit too soon to be burning our gym membership cards.
Interestingly, Health Scotland has reported that during the week, boys spend an average of 31 minutes a day playing games consoles. If those 31 minutes were spent in active gaming, it could go some way to meeting the national guidelines for physical activity. After all, even 31 minutes of moderate walking, aka Wii boxing, is better than sitting still; and if gaming is as popular as the statistics suggest, exercise gaming could be considered a productive way to help achieve a national goal.
Is exergaming deterring people from attending the gym? Though the year on year statistics suggest that, on average, gym memberships fell 16 per cent last year, the likes of David Lloyd Leisure seem untroubled.
Group health and fitness manager Rob Beale says, "Gaming has perhaps attracted a new type of exerciser, but being part of a health club is an entirely different offering, so I don't expect this to have any negative effects."
Now, it seems the future of fitness is choice. Game on!!

Cupcakes make great things to bring to a party, but making cupcakes in a jar is a better route to go if you don't have a special container to transport the baked goods in.
This particular cupcake-in-a-jar guide comes from the My Cakies blog. One of the greatest parts about packaging cupcakes this way is that you can use any cupcake recipe that you like and you don't even have to be that precise with the way you decorate them. To assemble the cupcakes, My Cakes begins by placing half of the cupcake in the jar, followed by a layer of frosting, the top half of the cupcake and then more frosting. Rather than getting icing on your nose trying to eat a whole cupcake, with this method, it's much easier to scoop out cupcake and frosting bits with a spoon.

Bottomless is a "semi-nude" state: The lack of clothes from the waist down. Many people consider bottomless more erotic than fully naked. If the person is wearing sexy shoes, especially CFM shoes, they are still considered bottomless. Some people confuse bottomless with pantyless: Bottomless means she wears only a top!

For fun, wanted to share two examples, one bad and one great, of restaurant marketing.
Bad Restaurant Marketing
This shot of the local KFC is from a recent trip back home in Hays, KS. It has a variety of problems:
- A steak dinner for $2.49 stretches the bounds of credibility. A price that's TOO low, doesn't say value; it says WATCH OUT!
- Extending KFC into steak doesn't work either. Who is looking for beef when they see the Colonel's white goatee and suit?
- It's misleading. When I showed it to my mom, she said it's actually a CHICKEN FRIED steak special. But that's not what the sign says. Maybe everybody in Hays knows that, but just driving by, you figure it's an overly ambitious franchisee run amok.
Great Restaurant Marketing
In contrast, this February special from Houlihan's is creative and on-target for several reasons:
- It's tied into current events – It builds off of people's attention to the stock market. Any day in February when the Dow was up, everyone got free Italian donuts. On days when the Dow closed down, customers received a coupon for a free appetizer on the next visit.
- It drives business when people are watching dollars – The Italian donuts are a higher-priced desert relative to Houlihan's other small portion deserts. Inducing trial is likely to spur future sales since they're incredibly good (trust me – I've tried them more than once). In the alternative, on down days, getting benefit from the coupon requires another visit to Houlihan's.
- There's some built-in sizzle – The promotion includes an opportunity to win a $5000 savings bond. Strong because it gets attention, has a high perceived valued, and costs Houlihan's much less than that figure.
- It has built-in free advertising support – Once getting over the hurdle of people knowing about the promotion, think about how many media outlets provide 5x per week prompts on the Dow's performance. It's all free advertising.
Great marketing doesn't have to be complicated, but it surely benefits from strategic thinking and implementation. Great job Houlihan's!

I joined the emerging events industry as a callow youth back in 1977. Of course, the technology was very different then.
PowerPoint was barely a glimmer in Bill Gate's eye. Slides were king, needing truckloads of technology to make them dance. Conferences were the next big thing, and the usual measure of ROI was, 'Did everything work?'
The client was generally the head of sales or marketing, or maybe the MD. Budgets were flexible and were often agreed on a handshake.
As clients have become much more professional in their approach to staff communications, we've become much more sophisticated in the way we approach our business. It seems hard to believe that most corporates didn't have a comms department. We recognise that the message, style and tone of voice need much more thought in order to pay their way.
The power of the internet now means that almost everyone can find suppliers of what used to be specialist services, from A/V to Zither players. Back in the day, unscrupulous event suppliers could add a juicy 'commission' to their third-party costs. However, professional procurement means that clients only want to pay for added value, and who can blame them.
All of this means that we've evolved in the way that we support our clients. We have to ask, 'Why are you doing this?', as we don't want to be responsible for an additional cost that had no impact on the business. Better to spend the budget on refurbing the staff canteen than a meaningless conference with dry ice and laser beams that doesn't improve the bottom line.
In order to make a living, we have to ensure that every minute of our time can be justified, and keep a precise account of every sandwich on the crew lunch table. Funny thing is, that's exactly what we expect our suppliers to do. Although some of us were nervous about transparency, it's actually been a really positive experience all round.
I've also witnessed a staggering growth in the channels available to communicators. There was a time when if the CEO wanted to communicate via video, you'd set up a big screen with rows of chairs, a sound system, maybe some lights and – hey! let's make it a conference. Nowadays, we can stream prerecorded or live video worldwide, or build it into an effective intranet site with interactive functionality. (Try doing that with a VHS tape!)
The good news is that Outlook have teams who completely master the worlds of video and digital technology, enabling us to keep ahead of the game and ensure that all clients are using the best approach to maximise their ROI.
I can't deny that I still have a sentimental urge to see a hair flickering in the corner of a slide. But I take enormous pride in the fact that we still apply the same creativity and energy as we always did. And our clients are communicating in a much better way than ever.

"Break her hands!! Break her legs!! She must not go!! Get the Ataare, some salt and a metal spoon", Papa said. Mama hurries out of the room to get the pepper, salt and spoon. I stand with Bamitale, holding his hands tightly as we watch Papa in silence. "Hold her hands, Iya Sinmi. And legs too. The salt will bring her back. Pour everything in her mouth", Papa says as soon as Mama comes back in. Mama is crying. I see her. I pity her. I even cry with her, occasionally wiping my eyes with the ends of my wrapper. "We should go", Bamitale says. "But I want to watch everything", I say to him. "Her body is going stiff", Mama Cries, holding on tightly to me. "Help me!", Mama cries again. I'm her 9th child. The ones before me are gone. Come back as me, they say. Of course! Papa gave 8 blows. They died after each one. His blows did not touch me, just the poor woman I call Mother. I lived. Papa shoved the spoon in my mouth, down my throat, blocking air. "It will hold her teeth apart", he tells her, reeking of Ogogoro. Mama should have known. His hands are not steady. "Bamitale, let's go. This house can now rest". Mama bursts into tears, screaming "JELEOSINMI" as I walk away, hand in hand with Bamitale.

[Previous entry: "Kristen Carlberg"] [Next entry: "Jim Cahail"]
01/09/2012: "Rodger Blair Sandwith"
June 7, 1947 ~ November 23, 2011
Roger Blair Sandwith, a.k.a. "Big Rog," passed away on November 23, 2011 surrounded by family in Friday Harbor, Washington. He was 64.
Roger was born in Bellingham, Washington on June 7, 1947 to Perry "Pat" and Mildred Sandwith. He grew up on the Sandwith family homestead on San Juan Island, and after graduating from Friday Harbor High School, enrolled at Bellingham Technical College. He went on to enlist in the United States Air Force, where he served as an Air Policeman for 7 months and 7 days before he was relieved of duty due to medical discharge. It was during his service that he met his beloved wife, Sharon, in her home state of Oklahoma. On December 23, 2011, they would have celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary.
Roger owned an excavation business for several years, and then went to work at Friday Harbor Sand & Gravel, from which he retired after 22 years of service. When his children were young, he was a Webelo/Cub Scout leader for several years, coached Friday Harbor Little League Baseball, and was instrumental in bringing the sport of wrestling to the Friday Harbor High School athletic program. He served as Post Commander at the Friday Harbor American Legion for two years and was a long-time member of Islands Community Church, where many children knew him as "the Candy Man".
His larger-than-life personality was hard to miss on San Juan Island, and he could often be found teasing and joking in grocery store aisles, out of his car on Spring Street, and almost every morning with the coffee shop guys at the Donut Shop/Blue Dolphin/Hungry Clam. Many who knew him well were privileged to see his softer side as a devoted lover of God, family and friends. He had a special place in his heart for children, animals, the disabled and elderly people.
Roger is survived by his wife Sharon, daughter Shannon, son Roger (wife Marlis), grandchildren Gunnar, Finn and Ada, mother Mildred (King) Sandwith, brothers Colin, Mike (wife Shari) and Perry (wife Sheila), sister Patsy Orazio (husband Joe), as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his daughter Angela Sandwith, father Perry "Pat" Sandwith, sister-in-law Florence "Frosty" Sandwith, and nieces Joanne Young and Jamie Lynn Tull.
A private family interment will take place at the Valley Cemetery on San Juan Island. A Memorial Service will be held at the Friday Harbor Presbyterian Church on Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 1:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Roger's name to Seattle Children's Hospital at the following web or regular mailing addresses:

Magnetic Fields
This week the boys have been exploring magnetic fields. I followed the presentations given in Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding using a plastic tray (rather than the piece of poster board they recommended) and loose iron filings. However, I wasn't willing to let me kids loose all week with a shaker of iron filings. In the photo above Kal-El is using a great product from Home Science Tools called a magnetic field demonstrator. The iron filings are suspended in a liquid and sealed between two plexiglass plates.
The boys have made a lot of observations as they have used this with all of the different shapes of magnets in our collection. They have learned that the magnetic field is always there but invisible, only made visible by the iron filings. They have learned that the magnetic field is strongest as the poles, and that the field does not extend indefinitely but only for a certain distance and that it gradually decreases in strength. We still have some work to do observing the pattern the filings will make around magnets when two like poles are attracting and when two opposite poles are repelling.
We also watched another magnetism video: Bill Nye the Science Guy: Magnetism. I waited until AFTER we had done most of our experiments. The boys get really excited if they see an experiment done that they have already completed. If you were to show the video first it would ruin the discovery process. We liked the Bill Nye video. However, our favorite parts were stock footage from what looks like a NASA educational movie about magnetism from maybe the 1950's. (CORRECTION: It is from the 39 episode series "Junior Science" with Dr. Gerald Wendt. AVGeeks seems to have almost all the episodes, but perhaps not digitized yet?) They showed a small boy, about the boys' age, doing a lot of experiments that they had done with magnets. They also showed the boy in a boy scouts uniform using a magnet for orienteering (Kal-El's next interest stemming from this work). I would LOVE to be able to watch the old Junior Science series. If anyone knows how to access them LET ME KNOW!

I love the field demonstrator! How cool and mess free! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I remember seeing blips of those old videos too - if you DO find a source for them, please share! ;)ReplyDelete
My son isn't so much into Bill Nye - he likes the shows decently enough, but he's not as into them as I thought he would be. Go figure :)
I found you something!ReplyDelete
Search this phrase in google:
type:nasa archives
We just watched a few (like Apollo 13 footage because that was a movie recently seen), so I don't know if your choices are in there or not :)
Love the board!!!!! What a great idea because filing are such a pain in the butt!It looks like you guys are having a great time working! happy Schooling!ReplyDelete
I'm getting closer! I rewatched the credits and the Bill Nye credits said:
Film Bank
Two separate lines like that, so maybe they don't go together. I rewatched the opening and a gentleman starts by saying "Hello young neighbors! Welcome to Junior Science." Apparently an award-winning program created by Max Rosenberg and Milton Subotsky. I haven't found it online yet, still looking. Although it may not have been digitized yet:
Okay, it was called "Junior Science with Dr. Geral Wendt." And I suspect the footage is available through some stock footage company. Anybody know how to work some magic?ReplyDelete
Leave it to me to fall in love with the mood and style of science shows from the 1950's. It was so nice how the image didn't jump around. The Bill Nye video's are such sensory overload.
Oops, I meant Dr. Gerald Wendt, with a "d" on Gerald. 1954. Arco films.ReplyDelete

I'm thinking of buying this book too. I've found the MS albums too boring and don't give me enough information. I don't know much about science - so one source book looks like a great idea. Thank you for sharing this resource!ReplyDelete

When you are capable of looking at something with real interest and you give it your full attention, it looks back at you. What looks back at you is you. There has never been a god outside of you. Always he has been in you, from the first to your last breath. You have been shaped after him.
In the middle ages, hundreds of thousands of people have died for recognizing this simple thruth and saying it aloud. Witches have been burned.
It is always you. It is always you in disguise, that reflects back at you. The pain, love, hurt and joy, the shining light in the eyes of someone, the disgust you feel for a thing or person, it is all your own. All you see is your own. What you perceive you receive. Step by step you are guided towards enlightenment and understanding through a reflection of you. A sincere reflection that you will see one day.
Let me say this, nothing I write on these pages is advice, or judgement or meant to be a truth for you. It is always me talking to myself.
This cross is 180 years old. When I did " The Reflection of the Christ " and saw it sinking in the green, blue waters, these were the words I heard it saying to me.
" Always it is you ."
" Always it is you ."

One thing we like to do in American education is encourage students to think. Higher-level thinking involves synthesis, the act of finding previously-unseen connections and/or engaging in creative rearrangements.
Try this on for size: see what sorts of connections you can find between these apparently unconnected things:
1. diet/nutrition and gun violence
2. hairstyle and presidential elections
3. Governor Rick Perry and Mahatma Gandhi
And see what people have written about the connections between these things:
1. religion and life expectancy
2. heart attack and cancer
3. texting and car accidents
4. the speed of light and GPS systems
5. parking lots and national defense
6. solar activity and terrestrial climate
7. manufacturing and frogs
8. invasive foreign species and restaurant menus
9. Marriott and the moon

What if I told you that you could put an ICE Contact on your Samsung Galaxy with everything it needs to have in it to save your life, in 2 MINUTES FLAT?
Would you grab your phone and go for it? Of course you would! In fact, even if you already have an ICE Contact on your smartphone, I guarantee that you're probably missing a few key things.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your phone and let's get started!
1. Put the word ICE, all capitals, in the First Name field.
2. Put your ICE Contact's first and last name in the Last Name field.
3. Type in all of your contact's phone numbers. EVERY one that you have for them
4. Type in all of your contact's email addresses — again, every last one.
5. Type in all of your contact's social media handles/user names in the website section of your contact. You never know what will be working in an emergency. Many people have reached loved ones on Facebook and Twitter, when cell phone and landline service was down.
6. If you don't have a field for Relationship, add one by adding new field and choosing the one called, oddly enough, Relationship. Then choose or enter the way that this contact is related to you.
7. Your own allergies, medications and medical history go in the notes section. Even better capitalize the words ALLERGIES, MEDICATIONS etc to ensure that they're seen.
8. You can also add your physician's names and phone numbers in the notes section and if you like, a link to your own medical history form. If you don't have one, you can borrow one of ours.
9. Is your contact in different locations on different days? Add that in the notes section as well.
10. Instead of their photo, add an ICE Contact Graphic to the contact to make it stand out. Here are a few to choose from.
11. And finally, never, ever put your social security number or insurance member number into your ICE Contact. You may put the name of your insurance company and their customer service number in if you like, but as long as your emergency contact comes to the hospital and can provide that information, it's probably not necessary.
And there you have it. One fully loaded ICE Contact. Two Minutes.
While you're here, be sure to check out our other posts like How To Put and ICE Contact On Your Samsung Galaxy to learn EVERYTHING you need to know about ICEing your phone.

With President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, it's become even more clear how critical the leadership of investors and companies are in tackling climate change and pushing for clean energy. The immediate groundswell of response marks a significant inflection point in the climate narrative—an opportunity for equilibrium change.
For the first time, the dominant narrative in major U.S. media outlets around climate policy is that the business community overwhelmingly supports action. Sustainability nonprofit organization Ceres (2006 Skoll Awardee) has worked for nine years to mobilize leaders within that community, and the "We Are Still In" response has been remarkable. There's safety in numbers, and the numbers are undeniable. Alli Gold Roberts, Senior Manager for State Policy at Ceres, took stock of the cross-sector climate leadership that stands behind the Paris Agreement.
Since President Trump announced that the United States is walking away from the Paris Climate Agreement, we've seen unprecedented collaboration and commitment by states, investors, and companies to continue to tackle climate change.
More than 1,100 investors and businesses, along with nine states, over 145 cities, and more than 220 colleges and universities have joined together this week to say, "we are still in" the Paris Agreement and committed to reducing carbon emissions.
"In the U.S., it is local and state governments, along with businesses, that are primarily responsible for the dramatic decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in recent years," they wrote in an open letter to the international community and to parties of the Paris Agreement. "Actions by each group will multiply and accelerate in the years ahead, no matter what policies Washington may adopt."
Shortly following the announcement, Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted:
Decision to withdraw from the #ParisAgreeement was wrong for our planet. Apple is committed to fight climate change and we will never waver.
— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) June 2, 2017
Governors and mayors across the partisan divide were also quick to deepen their commitment to climate action. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a signatory of the letter, said the withdrawal announcement, "does not speak for the states and cities that are committed to fighting climate change and paving the way for a new energy economy," called the action "dangerous", and warned of its "devastating impact on our economy, environment, and health."
In recent days, more than 13 governors, including republican governors Charlie Baker of Massachusetts and Phil Scott of Vermont, reaffirmed their commitment to climate action by announcing their state's participation in the bipartisan U.S. Climate Alliance.
Vermont is joining the bipartisan U.S. Climate Alliance. The states are prepared to step up and lead. #VT #ActOnClimate pic.twitter.com/RGKMANHdW4
— Governor Phil Scott (@GovPhilScott) June 2, 2017
Proud to join other leaders to say "We Are Still In" on reducing pollution & supporting the global Paris Agreement. #WeAreStillIn pic.twitter.com/V6xQipXmqP
— Gina Raimondo (@GinaRaimondo) June 2, 2017
Additionally, more than 240 Climate Mayors, including Republicans Elizabeth B. Kautz of Burnsville, Minnesota; Kevin Faulconer of San Diego, California; and Lee Brand of Fresno, California have said they would do their part to meet their cities' carbon-reducing goals and those enshrined in the Paris Agreement.
"Our administration looks forward to continued, bipartisan collaboration with other states to protect the environment, grow the economy, and deliver a brighter future to the next generation," said Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker in a statement.
States with diverse economies and energy portfolios including Virginia, Massachusetts, California, and Minnesota are a mere sampling of the communities embracing the jobs and economic development opportunities that come with clean energy investments. The growing list of investor and corporate voices is a clear signal that tackling climate change and investing in clean energy solutions transcends politics and just makes business sense.

— VF Corporation (@VFCorp) June 5, 2017
As the Co-CEOs of Autodesk Amar Hanspal and Andrew Anagnost put it, "The Paris Agreement is good for the economy, would create jobs, and it would keep the U.S. competitive. We're still in. Our employees are still in. Our customers are still in. We're all still in."
Through public-private partnerships between states, cities, investors, companies, colleges and universities, the U.S. can continue the momentum to hold warming to well below 2-degrees Celsius. These leaders recognize that in order to build a strong economic future, communities need to invest in clean energy solutions.
Companies make investment decisions based on localities where they can gain access to clean energy. States that want to capture these new opportunities need to be bullish on their renewable energy and energy efficiency offerings. It's no surprise that many state lawmakers are already rushing to pass smart policies and communicate their continued commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
Just this week, Nevada's state legislature passed new legislation to increase its renewable portfolio standard from 20 percent, where it is now, to 40 percent by 2030. The bill is now awaiting signature by Governor Sandoval. eBay, Levi Strauss Co., and Unilever were just some of the major employers in that state who called on lawmakers to support this legislation, stating, "clean energy investments can help businesses cut energy costs, avoid the volatility of fossil fuel prices, and stay competitive."
In a time of policy uncertainty in Washington, states should work with investors and companies to build a low-carbon energy future. Many are already showing the way and other forward thinking local and state governments should continue to follow.

Tremough Campus Review
The Tremough Campus is a relatively new university campus located just outside of the Cornish town of Penryn in Cornwall, England. The campus itself is shared between two universities - the University of Exeter and University College Falmouth. I have spent almost three years studying at this campus, and so I feel I am able to give a good explanation of it along with my own review.
Why was this location chosen?
Unbeknown to many people, Cornwall is one of the poorest regions in the UK. In fact there is so much poverty that it was one of the only English region that was able to qualify for European Union Objective One funding. As such it was possible to get some money from the EU to improve higher education provision within the county. University College Falmouth had purchased the site of the old Tremough convent school and so they decided that this would be a good location for the new campus. In addition, Exeter University already had a higher education presence within Cornwall through Camborne School of Mines so this institution decided to join University College Falmouth in pursuing the option of getting EU funding for a new campus at Tremough.
Phase One
Phase One was the first part of the campus to be built by 2004. This included the first part of Glasney Parc which is the on-site student accommodation along with various teaching and other facilities. The original Glasney Parc is the buildings which stradle the road along the left side of the picture below.
The largest building of this phase has since been renamed the Daphne du Maurier after the Cornish author. This building is very large and is spread across the side of a hill and is th large building in the background of the below photo. This leads to an interesting effect as at one end of the building there is one storey, yet down the other end there are four stories! This building contains a number of features. It has a couple of lecture theatres, and many seminar rooms all of which are wi-fi enabled throughout and have the latest in audio-visual equipment. The main campus library is located here, along with computer facilities, both of which have very generous opening times of approximately 9am-12am although at certain times of the year both of these become 24 hour.
This building also contains many course specific areas such as the design centre which hosts University College Falmouth design based courses such as 3D Design and Garden Design. This building also contains the University of Exeter academic departments for the bioscience, renewable energy, geology and mining engineering undergraduate courses, which all have dedicated labs.
The Daphne du Maurier building also contains social areas which are shared between both institutions. These include the stannary which is a two storey area; the ground floor of which is used as a canteen and the upper level as a bar. However, this area can be used flexibly and so this space is used for big events such as Jack Johnson, Zane Lowe and Pendulum who have all played at this location.
The Media Centre is an adjacent building which is used primarily by University College Falmouth as it contains a large cinema, as well as broadcasting and other facilities and it is also home to the campus radio station.
Another adjacent building is Tremough House and other buildings. This is where the student union is based (the FXU), along with various other support services including counselling and careers. Tremough House is where the old convent was based and so there is a chapel which has now been converted into a new lecture theatre. Tremough House itself is older and contains mostly administrative staff now. Outside this building there are old ornamental gardens which are still maintained and so are very popular with students and staff alike when the weather is fine.
Phase Two
After the initial success of phase one it was decided by the institutions that they would try to get further European Union funding for a second stage of building (so called phase two). This funding was granted, and by summer 2007 phase two had been completed. Phase two contained two main parts.
Firstly it included further accommodation units (so called Glasney Parc 2), which for simplicity were virtually identical to the older building. This provided a further 300 rooms, in addition to the existing 500. This is shown bythe buildings to the right of the original Glasney Parc on the above picture.
Secondly there was an increase in academic space. This is contained within the Peter Lanyon building (named after the famous Cornish artist). This building is split into two parts, and is shown by the zig-zag shaped building above. One section is for University College Falmouth and contains such academic departments as photography and broadcasting. The second section is used by the University of Exeter Cornwall Campus and contains several new academic departments. These are law, geography, English, history, politics and Cornish studies. Once again there are shared areas between both institutions - a further four lecture theatres, many seminar rooms and computer areas. Finally a Multiuse Games Area of MUGA for short was included and this is basically an astroturf like area form sports like football and hockey and this is shown in the construction phase by the large circular area towards the centre of the photograph.
After large interest in the campus over the preceding two years, it was decided that the on-site accommodation would need to be increased further and so Glasney 2b was constructed for the summer of 2009 and this has been built on the green space adjacent to Glasney 2 and the MUGA.
Future Developments
Despite the lareg amount of growth from nothing in less than 10 years there are plans to increase the size of the campus further.
Following the takeover of Dartington College of Performing Arts by University College Falmouth it has been decided that there is the need for a performing arts centre which will be added over the next few years.
The University of Exeter also has plans to expand, taking advantage of it's leading knowledge of the renewable energy and conservation areas by establishing an environment and sustainability centre on site.
To cater for this growth in the academic areas there will need to be an increase in the provision of on-site accommodation, and support services, and this is also in the masterplan. There are also well developed plans for an innovation centre to be set-up on site to help the growth of spin-off companies.
The surrounding area
Whilst it would be possible to never leave the campus if living in Glasney Parc, it is extremely likely that at least sometimes students will leave the campus. This is particularly true of students outside of their first year, as then they tend ot live off campus.
The nearest settlement to Tremough is Penryn. Penryn is a small town, with limited facilities but is non-the-less a relatively popular area for students to live. There is a large ASDA and B&Q, which are also situated very close to the campus, and can be walked in about 15 minutes. Alternatively, ASDA provide a free bus from Tremough for those who wish to shop at ASDA. Aside from this there is a small high-street in Penryn which contains a small convenience store, a branch of Lloyds and a branch of Barclays banks, a post office, as well as pharmacies, sandwich shops, chips shops, charity shops and various art and design shops.
Linked to Penryn is the much larger town of Falmouth. Falmouth is one of the largest settlements in Cornwall, and whilst never being able to match the facilities of a major city it does have considerable facilities. Falmouth is where the majority of students live, partly due to it being the traditional student area from when there was only University College Falmouth in the area and also it is a larger town with more going on. The centre of town is approximately 15 minutes away on the subsidised bus service (currently 40p from Tremough to Falmouth) and the buses are relatively frequent, running at least every 10 minutes. Bus timetables for number 2 which runs from Penzance to Falmouht via Tremough, number 41 which runs from Camborne/Troon to Falmouth via Tremough, number 68 which runs from Tremough to Falmouth and number 88 which runs from truro to Falmouth. The numbers 2 and 41 are quickest and so I would recommend these, the 68 takes a very longs time (but not the 68A).
There are a number of supermarkets in Falmouth - Co-op, Lidl, Iceland and two Tescos as well as a branch of every major UK bank. There are a number of other shops, from clothing such as Peacocks, New Look and Dorothy Perkins through to hardware stores including Trago Mills. It is worth noting that Falmouth is a relatively large sea-side town in Cornwall and so also contains many surfing/surf-clothing based shops. In addition, the Fal estuary is one of the major UK sites for sailing, and so some upmarket sailing companies also have a presence. There are a handful of clubs, and many pubs/bars, and as would be expected for a major tourist town many restaurants and hotels. Falmouth is also famous for it's beaches, which are reltively near to the centre of town, and these are a draw for students particularly when the weather is nice. Finally, since Falmouth is a Cornish sea-side town there are a large number of both chip shops and pasty shops!
The nearest city to Tremough is Truro, and this can be accessed by train, bus or car. It is about 15 minutes by train, but longer for car and even longer by bus as this goes via several villages. However, the train is both cheaper than the bus, and quicker, so this is the mode of transport I would recommend. Within Truro there are the wide array of shops that can be found in any UK city, as well as some smaller independent shops. There are probably more venues for night-time entertainment in Truro, and so this can provide some variation to the clubs in Falmouth.
Further afield there is much to do. Obviously as this is Cornwall there are a lot of watersports, especially surfing. However there are also lots of onshore activities. These include hiking and conservation, as well as all the normal sports such as rugby, cricket and football.
Getting to Tremough
It is possible to get to Tremough in several ways. A map of Tremough, as well as the local area can be found by clicking here. When looking at this map in satellite view none of the new buildings can be seen - this is due to the Google maps being slightly old.
As it is a green campus the use of public transport is actively encouraged. The campus is only about 5-10 minutes walk away from Penryn railway station, and is well signed from here. There is however a relatively large number of steps to climb so if disbaled or with a lot of baggage it may be worth getting a bus or taxi. This is on the Maritime Line branch line, which runs from Truro to Falmouth. Truro is served by trains from a wide variety of locations, including London Paddington. At present there can be a wait of over an hour in Truro, although this problem is being rectified somewhat by work being carried out on the Maritime Line to increase the frequency of trains which run on it. Further information on train times and costs can be found on the National Rail website.
It is also possible to drive to the campus, with some pay and display car parking available on site (although for events this charge is sometimes waived). If approaching from outside of Cornwall, follow the A30 from the M5 southwards. Turn off the A30 onto the A39 towards Truro and Falmouth. Continue on this road through Truro. Follow this road towards Falmouth after exiting Falmouth. There will be several roundabouts on the way, just continues to follow the signs to Falmouth. Straight after passing the two wind turbines at Roskrow Barton (they will be on the right) there should be a roundabout. Turn left at this roundabout, signposted Penryn and Tremough, and then take the first right into Tremough.
For those coming from further away the nearest airport is Newquay. If flying into here it is possible to get either a bus, train, hire car or taxi to the campus (but due to the distance a taxi will be expensive). For more information see the airport website.
Personal Opinions
As I have already said I have spent almost 3 years studying at this campus, the first year of which was also spent in the on-site university accommodation. Due to my course choice there were not many places where I could study it, and yet I really loved the Tremough Campus and so it became my first choice, and in fact I would have probably tried getting on a different course if I had been unsuccessful with my first choice.
This opinion has not changed since being at the campus. I have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of my time down here, from the campus itself, to the local region and most importantly the people. The whole campus and wider community has a very relaxed atmosphere, yet still dedicated to work. This might be due to the size of the campus, or the courses it offers and therefore the people it attracts, or the location although I would guess it is a combination of all three. I would definately recommend studying at the Tremough Campus.

Hi Bristol Boy...great review of the campus...I'm glad to see you enjoyed the university... I also went to Tremough Convent as a boarder from 1981 to 1991 and pretty much hated every day of it!! Made some great friends, but it was very strict, many of the nuns were not the "Christians" they sold themselves as (except for the kitchen staff, who I'd go to for a cuddle!! I was only 7 when I started!!) and I have a lot of not very good memories from those days....but having read your review I am glad to see it has been transformed into a place that people want to attend...it was always a beautiful site, with lovely historic gardens...I'm glad to see they still exist. I hope to go back next year for a reunion, where I will see the tranformation...you never know, my own children may even end up there one day!! Thanks again for the review...regards, Sarah Phippen.
I went to Tremough when it was a convent boarding school. Spent 5 years there 1960-64 inclusive. It was home to me so I am very excited to see it is a university now, wow! I remember going in the big front door of the main house many times! And the big dining room, chapel etc. I moved to Australia in 1964 and have only been back to Tremough once in 1976, it was still run by the nuns, Les Filles de la Croix. Looking forward to visiting once again, maybe in about 2012. I found your website only because buying lunch yesterday I spoke with a girl in Melbourne, Australia who was from UK and went to Tremough! Couldn't believe it!! Small world. Wish you all the best luck, Siobhan Foster
HI, I'm currently in the application process for Uni, and have an offer from falmouth for renewable energies. Its a toss up between this and exeter for geography. I like the idea of this course, as its a growing area and vocational, however im unsure about the social side of things compared to exter and also looking at the course content, there seems to be an incredible amount of work on mechanics and mathematics which could be a problem seeing as i didn't do maths and not really a fan. Is this true that it is very heavily mathematical based? Is it a very time consuming course? and finally, what's your job after completeing the degree? Was it easy to become employed? Good pay? lol sorry if sounding a bit cheeky. Cheers, George
Hi, thanks for all the information. I've been down to visit the campus twice already, and i really liked it! I am interested in studying Renewable Energies, but was wondering if there it is possible to study another language (french, which i had to dropp after GCSE's) in evening classes anywhere etc? Also, are there many people on campus; would you describe it as a lively atmosphere..?
Thanks a lot, Will
Hey BristolBoy, I am coming to visit the Tremough Campus next Saturday (10th October) and I was just wondering what the accommodation is like on campus? I also feel that I may need to look at private accommodation just in case there are not enough rooms. Are there many privately rented houses in the area?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you once again. I will surely do.
I am looking forward to my arrival in Falmouth and Penryn next month - I will be spending a year there and I want to make the best out of it. Thank you, and well done for the site!
Thank you very much for such an informative article.
I am from Malta, and will be coming to Cornwall to read a Master's in Graphic Design at UC Falmouth. I found your article insightful especially for prospective students like me. Looking forward to the coming year in Cornwall, and please do post any other similar articles. Please list any ongoing events, activities and other opportunities for students.
Hi Bristolboy,
Indeed a very informative website about this campus. thank you very much. Do you think you could tell me something about the cultural facilities nearby, at the campus or perhaps in Falmouth? Theatre, cinema. It seems that there is a bit of a lack of this, depite a faculty of arts and design at the campus. Where does one have to go for this? All the way to Plymouth?
Thank you in advance for your answer,
all the best, larsB
Thank you very much, mate, for the information, which comes as a relief to me.
I am actually from Mauritius and would be coming there for studies. Do you think its worth making the move from Mauritius to there. What should I do if I get hungry late at night or want to buy a pair of jeans or something. Is there any shopping centre over there? What do students do for fun there, just studying?
Hey, I did most of the 360 panoramas for the Tremough campus. Unfortunately I didn't do the post production so the colour balance is pretty bad on one or 2 of them:
So what's the social life there, i love the sound of the course and the area and campus sound really good, but I am slightly concerned about the enterntainment facilities in the area and on campus. I realise it won't compare to other unis, but is there always plenty to do with clubs to go to and pubs etc
Lucky you, to be at Uni in Cornwall. As Brian said, nice informative hub and should do ok for external traffic once the search engines pick it up. Strange isn't it, that people who visit Cornwall as holiday-makers often don't realise just how dependant the local economy is on tourism? let's hope that the Uk holiday market is not too badly affected by the recession.
Nice informative hub, I'm a bit old to be worrying about further education now but I think any prospective student would do well to read this if they are considering which university to attend. Well written.
