- STILL GOT IT: Sonny Williams' packs in the crowds in the River Market district.
Our Valentine's Day dinner at Sonny Williams' Steak Room was as close to perfect as a meal can get.
Perfect food: Every single thing we had was the epitome of what it could be. Perfect service: We wish we could tout our waiter by name; he deserves the accolades. He was pleasant with an understated but acerbic wit — present when we needed him but not lurking; special requests were handled with no issues. Perfect pacing: We were there early, as we had chosen the first of our two reservation options when we called — 5 and 9 p.m. — but we weren't rushed, nor pressured to turn over our table. Each course came when it should, and our dinner stretched over a relaxed two hours. Perfect atmosphere: The quiet calm of Sonny's made us realize how many other spots are loud, the cacophony seemingly by design with hard surfaces and large rooms vs. the cozy layout at Sonny's, with several conjoined smaller spaces. Even on one of the busiest nights of the year, no one seemed harried — employees or patrons — and carrying on a quiet conversation wasn't challenging.
We started with the French onion soup ($8). When we asked for two spoons our waiter offered to split the soup into two bowls, a more laborious process with this classic than with a soup not topped with a large crouton and blanket of gooey Swiss. The rich, salty beef broth, plenty of sweet, cooked-down onions, slice-of-toast sized crouton and the Swiss combined into, yes, perfection.
A 6-ounce filet is $40; a 12-ouncer is $49. It's a no-brainer which to choose. We've never had a better steak. Weeks-aged Angus beef, well charred on the outside, exactly medium rare and fork tender — like buttah! How can it get any better?
That said, if we were restricted to one entree at Sonny Williams' it wouldn't be a steak, believe it or not. It would be the seafood platter ($55). The lineup: two massive, already split, tantalizingly sweet king crab legs with drawn butter; three large (prawn-sized) shrimp, perfectly fried in a light batter (grilled is an option); three plump, tender, perfectly seared grilled scallops; and one of the best crab cakes in town — not lump, but thin pieces, and lots of them, with minimal filler.
We remember the day when side dishes weren't included with Sonny's entrees. But today they are — two, in fact. (They are $7 a la carte if you want more.) We had au gratin potatoes — cheesy, just the right amount of greasy, and a bit gooey; wild rice with walnuts — light, fluffy and flavorful; creamed spinach — rich and fabulous; and sauteed mushrooms — salty and earthy.
All desserts are homemade, and the two we had were superb. The peanut butter cheesecake was rich, dense and smooth, artfully drizzled with caramel. The chocolate creme brulee, again, was as good as it gets: lusciously smooth and rich with a crisp, not too thick, hardened sugar topping. A nice Valentine's Day touch was the accompanying raspberry syrup in a heart shape on a pool of vanilla cream.
Perfection is exceedingly rare. On Valentine's Day, with a packed house, Sonny Williams' Steak Room delivered it in every way a dining experience can be defined.
Sonny Williams' Steak Room
500 President Clinton Ave.
Little Rock, AR 72201
Don't discount Sonny Williams' as a fine place to catch a drink and listen to some standards at the piano bar. Jim Dickerson was tickling the ivories when we were there, and it added a nice touch to the experience.
5 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Full bar, credit cards accepted.

Escape From the City...From Within the City2 Share Tweet
Sometimes when you want to escape from the city, you can actually find an escape within the city itself. Like the garden next to the Dom Church in the Netherlands.
One of my favourite places in the city where I go to school at, Utrecht, is actually close to the school. Almost every time while walking to school, I pass by it. It's a garden that is hidden next to the Dom Church. At first I didn't know it was there then one day, one of my classmates showed me this 'short cut' to school and I was sold.
This garden is so quiet, even though most of the time it's filled with tourists and children, it still feels like you're miles away from the city. But you're not, you're actually right in the middle of it. It's a place where I often go to eat my lunch, read up on some homework or just sit and watch people walk past the numerous herbs growing there. It feels like being in a totally different world, if only for a moment.

The Last Thylacine
This is a sketch book drawing of "Benjamin", the last known Tasmanian Tiger (or Thylacine), who died from neglect in a zoo in 1936. Thylacines are certainly not unusual because of their extinction at the hands of humans, but because they are marsupials. Even though they look very much like wolves, dogs, foxes and at times hyenas, Thylacines are not related. Until they all died out, they lived in South Australia & Tamania. They were around the size of a small Labrador, and had pouches to store the little'uns in. I get this fascinating feeling of familiarity when I look at them, but at the same time there are things about them that seem like someone just made them up. Their jaws could open really wide. I mean rediculously wide. And those stripes look like a dinosaur resonstruction artist thought it would be creative, yet believeable enough, to just paint them over the top of the hind quarters. It was the curiosity factor, coupled with locals wanting to protect their chickens, that lead to their demise.
These days you can go to the Natural History Museum to see a mounted specimen, but all the taxidermically preserved examples that I have seen don't do the Tylacine justice. You can see "Benjamin" yawning, pacing and eating in 42 seconds of footage that were recorded in 1933. Or become a Thylacine boffin and read the Wiki page.
There is still hope, even though they were declared extinct a long time ago, Thylacine sightings are often reported but there has never been any confirmation. If they're still out there, I pretty much hope they're never found.

Hi there, did you know Australian Author Noel Tuckey has carried out significant research in developing his book Thylacine Man, you may be interested.ReplyDelete
Thanks Mudlark. I have been really fascinated by these creatures, and drawn in by the sadness that goes along with their history. I will check it out.ReplyDelete

It has taken Billy Sharp less than a month to dispel fears the captaincy might weigh heavily on his shoulders next season.
The Sheffield United centre-forward, who was handed the role following Chris Wilder's appointment in May, scored two goals and helped create another as the visitors recorded a convincing victory at Blundell Park.
Although his performance inside the opposition's penalty area drew a handsome tribute from Alan Knill - "I didn't realise quite how good Billy was until we came here" - it was Sharp's work off the ball which, following Tuesday's defeat by FC Halifax Town, impressed United's assistant manager the most.
"Taking on the captaincy, Billy looks like he's just stepped into it seamlessly," Knill said. "He looks like he's enjoying it, which is key. Sometimes players just want to look after themselves. But Billy has stepped up and led from the front."
Sharp insisted he was inspired rather than intimidated by the prospect of becoming Wilder's on-the-pitch lieutenent when United's new manager announced his decision within 48 hours of taking charge in May.
Following a desperately disappointing and divisive campaign, which cost the club promotion and Nigel Adkins his job, the 48-year-old reckoned handing one of Bramall Lane's best -loved sons the responsibility of leading United into battle would have a rejuvenating effect in both the dressing room and the stands.
On Saturday's evidence, Wilder's hunch was correct. Sharp, together with his teammates, chased, hustled and harried Paul Hurst's talented but shot-shy side as United produced a display in stark contrast to the lacklustre shift which saw them beaten 2-0 at The Shay four days earlier.
Reaffirming Wilder's pledge that his squad will "win together and lose together" when the League One season begins next month, Knill acknowledged coaching staff accepted their share of the blame for United's hiccup in West Yorkshire. But he insisted the players deserved credit for the manner of their response.
"The attitude pleased us as much as anything," Knill said. "On Tuesday, it was nothing to to with ability because, if it was, we'd have won. But if you want to win, then you also need the right attitude first."
Although United remain a work in progress - talks with Bury aimed at signing Leon Clarke will resume this week - they already look a much more cohesive and confrontational unit than the one which limped to an 11th-placed finish last term.
James Wilson and Jack O'Connell, two mobile and athletic centre-halves, both appear astute signings. Chris Hussey, together with fellow full-back John Brayford, can defend but also enjoys surging forward when circumstances allow. John Fleck, like Mark Duffy, should become more influential as he gains match sharpness, while Jake Wright, the former Oxford United captain, is expected to appear in the squad which faces Hallam FC tomorrow.
"We were disappointed after Tuesday," Knill conceded. "But the focus afterwards was: 'Right, this (Grimsby) is a proper game, a league game, a cup game.' The lads took that on board and did really well."
With Che Adams named among United's substitutes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin seized his chance in style by turning home in the 23rd minute after being released by Sharp's pass.
Grimsby, playing their seventh pre-season fixture, included on-loan Barnsley striker Kayden Jackson and former United midfielder Ben Davies in their starting 11.
Despite threatening on several occasions, particularly during the first half, Grimsby were unable to punch a hole in United's defence.
Two minutes after his intervention, Calvert-Lewin turned provider by robbing Josh Gowling of possession and setting in motion the chain of events which ended with Sharp converting his first of the afternoon.
Luke Summerfield pulled one back for Grimsby, but United broke the League Two side's resolve when Sharp, wriggling into position, pounced just past the hour.
"Oh my God, any manager of coach in the League would want Billy," Knill said. "I've been on the end of some of his goals before. Sometimes you think: 'Billy could have done better there.'
"But, before you get to the end of the sentence, bang, the ball is in the net."
The teams
Grimsby Town: McKeown, Davies, Andrew, McAllister (Bogle 46), Pearson (Boyce 70), Gowling, Chambers (M Wright 85), Jackson, Vose (Disley 70), Berrett, Summerfield. Not used: Venney, Clifton, Jones.

Missing Nigerian Schoolgirls Found?
Tuesday, August 12, 2014 | Tag Cloud Tags: Boko Haram
By Joseph DeCaro, Worthy News Correspondent
ABUJA (Worthy News)-- U.S. aerial imagery over northeastern Nigeria has recently detected large groups of girls being held in remote locations, raising hopes they are from the group of young women abducted by Boko Haram from a boarding school back on April 14, according to International Christian Concern.
The surveillance suggests that at least some of the 219 schoolgirls are being used as bargaining chips for the release of Haram prisoners.
Facing re-election in February, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan is under intense political pressure to secure the girls' release. But Goodluck's government has ruled out either a rescue operation, or a prisoner swap.

A lot of people asked me how to use Periscope on a computer. Just in case if you don't know, Periscope is a mobile app, developed by Twitter which you can use to come live publicly to interact with your followers. In this tutorial I will show you multiple ways to use Periscope for PC, some of the methods also work on Mac OS.
Page Contents
As I mentioned in the intro of this tutorial, Periscope is an app which allows you to go live for your Twitter followers publicly. Before I start showing you different ways to get Periscope for PC, let me show you some of the cool features of Periscope and then I will show you how to get it on PC.
Features of Periscope:
With this cool app, you can interact with different people live from around the world. When you first download Periscope app and open it up, you can register your new account or use Twitter account as well.
Once you are in, you can search for different celebrities and people that you follow on Twitter to interact with them in live sessions.
Interact with people from anywhere
As a person who likes to interact with people from different cultures, my favorite feature in periscope is the option to see all the live users on a global map. This way I can interact with users from different countries and see the real picture of that nation. Not the morphed view that media portrays.
Increase followers
If you want to become the next social media star or you are looking to increase your social followers then Periscope is the best app for you.
You can come live on Periscope from anywhere using your phone and show what you are up to. People around the world will start following you who are interested in your personality, your story or even your country.
Like if you are from Spain and people wanna know about Spain, you can become an unbiased reporter and increase your Twitter followers.
A lot of big brands host their events on Periscope for people worldwide who can not attend those events. Like if an event is happening in Paris, you can probably not go there just to attend that event. But the host can show you the event via Periscope.
You can also host Events on Periscope if you want to.
Get Periscope for PC:
There are a couple of different ways you can get it working and I will try to show you all of them. You can scroll down and find all the methods in the order of difficulty.
Periscope for PC using ARC Welder:
If you are using a Windows or Mac computer and you want to run Android apps on your computer then ARC Welder is the easiest way out. All you have to do is install Chrome Browser and follow the steps given below.
- Download Google Chrome browser on your Computer and launch it.
- Now go to this link and download the ARC Welder App for Google Chrome. Basically, this App runs inside Google Chrome and it takes any Android APK file and runs it on a Computer.
- The last thing you will need is the APK file for Periscope. You can use the Download link given below but if the APK file is older and doesn't work for you then you can find the latest version here.
- Now open a new tab inside Google Chrome and click on the "Apps" button in the top left corner.
- From the Apps menu, Select ARC Welder and you will see a new Windows which looks like a mobile phone screen.
- Here you will need to select a folder where ARC Welder will keep it's currently running files. I recommend that you select a folder inside C Drive.
- On the next screen, you will need to load the APK file for Periscope to run it on your Computer. Simply click the Plus button and select the Periscope APK file.
- Lastly, wait for it to load the APK file and then press the "Test" button.
If everything went well, Periscope app will start up and now you can use it just like you use it on your phone.
Periscope for PC using Emulators:
This method is I think the safest among all. Basically, you can rest assured that it will work no matter what. As you may or may not know, Periscope app is currently only available on iOS and Android. Unfortunately, there is no real iOS emulator for Windows that runs independently of your phone.
But there are a ton of different Android emulators available for both Windows as well as Mac OS. In this tutorial, I will recommend that you should use BlueStacks emulator.
- First of all, you will need to download the APK file for Periscope to run it inside BlueStacks Emulator.
- Now go to this link and here you will need to download BlueStacks emulator. Don't worry, it is 100% Free and Safe to use.
- Once you have downloaded the BlueStacks emulator, open the installer file and install it by following the on-screen instructions.
- After installing BlueStacks, open it up and setup your Google account in it. You can use any Google account. This step is just like when you get a new Android device and you have to go through the setup process.
- When you are on the home screen of the BlueStacks emulator, simply drag and drop the Periscope APK file that you downloaded earlier inside the emulator.
- The APK file installation will begin and once done, you can open it up and Periscope App will start working just like it does on your phone.
Using Screen mirroring
This is the least recommended method among all. That is because in this method you are actually running the app on your phone and mirroring the screen to your PC. I will not say that this method is any useful and it is just a workaround.
All you have to do is connect your phone to the computer and use programs like SideSync and control your phone using PC.
To conclude I can say that although their isn't any official app for Periscope for PC, there are methods that you can use to Periscope on computer.
If you found this tutorial helpful then make sure to share it with others and also don't forget to follow us on Twitter for more updates.

Hundreds of people are living at one of England's most significant housing and employment schemes 3 years after building started.
Investment from the government has unlocked a hugely successful phase of housebuilding and development at Cranbrook in East Devon, where partners are working to create a sustainable new community of 6,500 homes and a similar number of jobs.
More than 800 new homes, a community centre and school teaching more than 300 pupils have been completed at Cranbrook and it is expected that around 1,000 houses will be ready for occupation at the start of 2015.
This is a shining example of how developments can benefit communities by providing much needed new homes and support economic growth by attracting further investment and jobs.
The majority of people moving to Cranbrook are from Devon and families are taking well to life in their new surroundings.
James and Georgia Brand moved to their 3 bedroomed home in Cranbrook with their 2 sons, aged 9 and 1, this year after living in a small flat in Exeter for nearly a decade. They have taken advantage of a shared ownership initiative operated by housing provider DCH which has allowed them to buy part of the property with an option to buy a greater share in the future.
James, who works split shifts at an aerospace company in nearby Sowton, said:
We came to an information day at Cranbrook to have a look around and weren't thinking about living here initially, but when we saw what was here we decided to go for it.
The boys are doing really well here, the bills are more affordable and the house is much better for us than where we were living. We work different hours, which isn't always easy; having a more suitable home for the family does make this a lot easier.
There are a few people I work with who are thinking of moving here and I have encouraged them to come and have a look. It's made a big difference to us and I think we will be here for a long time to come.
The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) has invested more than £16 million in the first phase of affordable housing at Cranbrook and a further £20 million in a new education complex and town centre in the project's second phase, which has played an essential part in speeding up the rate of housebuilding on the site.
HCA executive director for the South and South West Colin Molton said:
Cranbrook is an amazing success story and a testament to the commitment that partners have shown to get all the elements in place to make this the successful project that it is. It took years to get to the stage where building work was able to start, but investment in vital infrastructure such as the school and the town centre has helped to maintain momentum and support the growth of new homes in Exeter and East Devon.
Quick facts
The development of Cranbrook will create 6,000 new homes, schools, social and community buildings, sports facilities and retail provision; a country park and a railway station.
Residents at Cranbrook and businesses on nearby Skypark Business Park are served by an energy centre supplying them with heat and hot water.
Government investment of £20 million has accelerated the pace of development by helping to increase the number of homes built from 300 to 500 a year. It will also create up to 500 construction related jobs as development gathers pace.

ATLANTA — Falcons owner Arthur Blank made a bold statement Wednesday morning about the downtown stadium that's scheduled to open in 2017.
"Folks who have come in and studied our plans and what have you, from the NFL, who actually looked at stadiums and arenas around the world, believe it's going to be the finest sports entertainment facility, not only in the United States, but you know, potentially in the world," he told Atlanta magazine editor Steve Fennessy in an interview on stage at a charity breakfast.
Preliminary renderings show a stadium with a window to the Atlanta skyline and a roof that slides open to form an eight-pointed star. Documents handed out at Wednesday's event describe a facility that will use captured rainwater to help grow organic produce for use in food service at games. The brochure says the stadium "will incorporate raised planter beds and edible landscaping, including berries and fruit trees."
NEWCOMB: Inside the $1.2 billion stadium the Falcons will share with an MLS franchise
In addition to hosting the Falcons, the stadium will be home to a new Major League Soccer franchise that will begin play in 2017.
"We're up to over 14,000 deposits on season-ticket holders already," Blank said. "And that's two-and-a-half years before we play, which is pretty impressive. MLS is shocked by that."

The drake is a custom light made my modamag (at candlepowerforums), it runs on special '10180' sized rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Unfortunately he is no longer making this light, but you may be able to find one second hand on the marketplace forums.
|10180 li-ion cell on the right
|Green tritium in the tail of the light
There also exists a slightly larger version of the drake, called the draco. The draco runs on slightly longer '10280' sized li-ion cells. The benefits of using the larger battery is a longer run-time and a brighter high mode. The drake and draco share the same head, only the battery tube is different in size.
The drake offers a low, high and user defined mode. The user defined setting is chosen from 10 different levels of brightness. The light remembers the last mode you have used, if you leave the light on at that level for over 1 second. To switch between the various modes, you need to turn the light on/off in less than 1 second. Click on the picture for more details on the user interface.
I find the lumen and run-time information of the drake is quite hard to quantify, as the information on this is quite old and the emitter has changed with time. From estimations, the latest version with a Cree XRE-R2, would have a maximum of 100+ lumens (probably an underestimate) with a runtime of 10-15 minutes. The low on the drake should last around 4 hours, and I would estimate it to be ~5 lumens. I usually have the user defined mode, set at level 3 or 4, as I find this is a good balance between brightness and run-time. Previous run-time tests with the draco, suggest level 3 should give ~160 minutes and level 4 ~80 minutes
Keychain usage:
I have had the drake on my keychain for over a year now, the chrome finish on the aluminium version has held up relatively well. There are a few minor scratches on it, which are only noticeable upon close inspection. I would expect the AlTiN, TiN or Diamond coatings to hold up even better, as they have a higher hardness than the chrome coating.
I find the beam from the drake is good for keychain purposes, it is relatively wide and floody. The diminuitive size and weight makes the drake less noticeable when carrying it on a keychain. The amount of light that comes from a flashlight of this size is quite amazing. There are very few other multi-mode flashlights that offer this amount of brightness, in a package so small.
Constructive criticism:
I do have to say, the brightness of the the drake on high is not well regulated and brightness does tend to decline as the battery drains. This is not really the fault of the drake, but merely the limits on what is possible with such a small battery. Personally, I would not recommend running the drake on high for prolonged periods, as the light gets quite hot and the heat may damage the LED or driver. In my mind the high mode is predominantly there for 'showing-off' purposes.
I find it can be difficult at times, to turn on the light one-handed. One of the reasons for this is the placement of the knurling (those grooves and indents which give you grip when holding the light). Greater knurling on the head of of the light would make turning it on, easier.
My pet peeve of the drake is with the driver (electronics which control the LED). The driver uses quite noticeable PWM to regulate the light. PWM is where the light flashes very quickly to regulate the brightness. When shining the light on rapidly moving objects, rather than one continuous picture, the movement can be seen as quick 'stop motion' pictures.
The user interface for switching modes can be tricky to get used to. If you turn the light on/off too quickly, it will switch to the next mode, the next time you turn your light on. This would be less of a problem if the time delay for memorisation is reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds.
Alternatives to consider:
Since the drake is no longer being made, some other lights that run on the 10180 battery format:
Lummi Wee (only one mode but you can choose from either 25/50/100 lumens)
Steve Ku's 38DD (VBC direct drive - gets brighter as you twist it tighter)
peak eiger 10180 (only one mode, but can select from a range of options)
If you have any questions about this light or other keychain lights, feel free to leave a comment. I will do my best to answer your question.

English Language : Solved Paper
Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
A pundit was visiting a remote town. The people of the town worried him everyday with invitations for lunch or dinner. "I will only eat in a house where no one has ever told a lie," said the pundit. A very rich man stepped up and said, "Come to my house, Oh master. No one in my home has ever told a lie." The pundit accepted the invitation. Before going to the rich man's house, the pundit inquired about the rich man and learned everything he could about him. Walking along with the rich man, the pundit asked, "How many children do you have ?'' "Only one son," replied the rich man. "The people of this town said he had three sons ! Why is he saying he has only one ? Is he lying ?" wondered the pundit, "but I should not be too hasty to judge him. Perhaps he is telling the truth. Let me wait." "How old are you now ?" asked the pundit. "I am ten years old," answered the rich man. "There he goes again ! His hair is gray, his face has wrinkles, he can barely walk, and he says he is only ten years old ! No, No. I should not come to a rushed conclusion. I shall give him one more chance," decided the pundit. "How many acres of land do you have ?" asked the pundit, "I have only six feet of land for myself", said the rich man. "This is like trying to hide a whole pumpkin in a spoonful of rice !" thought the pundit. "This man is indeed the king of liars ! How can I eat in his house ? Will it turn me into a liar as well ? Let me see how far he can go."
When they arrived at the house the rich man told his wife, we have a special guest today so make him your best lunch. I will take him to the lake for a walk. We will be back soon. On their way back from the river, they passed an orchard. The rich man plucked two ripe mangoes, and cut a bunch of ripe bananas. "Whose orchard is this ?" asked the pundit. "This orchard belongs to the ones who do not sleep a wink at night," replied the rich man. At the house, the rich man's wife had laid out the lunch. "Please come and eat" she said. "I need to clarify a few things first,'' declared the pundit. "What is it ?" asked the rich man. "I know you have three sons, why did you say you had only one ?'' demanded the pundit. The rich man immediately called for his sons and gave them a task. The eldest and the youngest both said, "Father, you are forever ordering us around". Only the middle son promptly agreed to obey. "Did you see that, Oh Master ?" asked the rich man. "I do have three sons, but only one of them truly listens to me." "Fine, but why did you claim that you were only ten years old ?'' asked the pundit. "I am over sixty, " replied the rich man. "But for the last ten years, I have devoted myself to a spiritual life. I believe that it is only then since I have truly lived,'' replied the rich man.
Excellent answer applauded the pundit. "But you own thousands of acres of fertile land. Why did you claim to have only six feet ? "I have acquired thousands of acres of land. I did every trick in the trade to become rich, but it has only made my sons proud and arrogant. What use is all this wealth to me ? When I die, the six feet of land where I will be buried is all that will truly be mine," said the rich man.
The pundit sat down to eat. As he was taking his leave, he asked the rich man, "What did you mean when you said the orchard belongs to the ones who do not sleep a wink at night ?" ''I do own the orchard and work hard tending to my trees, but at night, I am so tired that I fall asleep. Meanwhile the thieves, who stay awake all night, steal most of my yield. So in truth the orchard belongs to them. The ones who do not sleep a wink at night" said the rich man.

3. O-nami soon registered for a wrestling match and won. After that, no one in Japan was able to defeat him.
4. In the early days of the Meiji era there lived a well-known wrestler called O-nami, Great Waves.
5. In the days that followed, O-nami meditated on the advice given by the Zen master.
6. O-nami felt he should go to a Zen master for help. He approached Hakuju a wandering teacher and told him of his great trouble.

Tropical print heels, Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra ($795)
|Joseph Altuzarra
Coming off of a career high, Joseph Altuzarra sets his sights on brandwide expansion, and with a bright future ahead, he envisions not just dollar signs—his award was received with a large $300,000 grant—but light, fluttering dresses and tropical patterned footwear to match. The Parisian designer made his way through famed fashion houses like Proenza Schouler and Givenchy after graduating from Swarthmore College in 2005; today, he contemplates the discrepancies between New York style and DC's seemingly more conservative approach to dressing. "The DC client has a high taste level in luxury womenswear and a great fashion sense: She is powerful, confident, and sexy, which defines the Altuzarra woman. That's the kind of characteristic that makes DC such an interesting market for us. I love Huma Abedin. I think she is so chic and beautiful. I would suggest a white eyelet dress from our resort collection for her, because I think she would look so fresh and pretty. Once spring comes around, all women want is lightness and color. Our resort collection is filled with flirty, sexy dresses in pastels and whites, which I think will be perfect for spring. We referenced the style of the Côte d'Azur and St-Tropez, and especially the propensity for eyelet. I love the idea of eyelet for spring: It's feminine, sexy, but also quite innocent."

An anonymous donor gave $5 million to U. of Chicago to help with the financial debacle at Fermilab. This is reminiscent of the donation to RHIC a while ago to save it from being shut down temporarily due to similar budget constraints, although it wasn't from an anonymous donor.
The savings from the furlough allowed lab officials to keep the lab's particle smasher, the Tevatron Collider, running all out in its quest to spot the famed Higgs boson, the missing link in physicists' theory of the known fundamental bits of matter. Fermilab researchers hope to discover the Higgs before it's snagged by the more powerful Large Hadron Collider, which should turn on this summer at the European particle physics laboratory, CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland. The donation, which will be funneled through the University of Chicago, will enable the lab to stop the furlough after two of four planned rounds of leave. The lab was able to scrape up another $1 million, in part because about 50 employees have already jumped ship, Oddone says.
This is the second time in recent years that philanthropists have bailed out a beleaguered DOE lab. In 2006, Congress gave Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, too little money to run its Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, which is used to study a type of nuclear physics. James Simons, a theoretical physicist and billionaire hedge-fund guru then donated $13 million to Brookhaven to run the machine.
It paints a very sad picture of science funding in the US. $5 million is PUNY in the scale of funding sizes. Many corporations burn that much in just 1-day. And we haven't gotten into what minuscule percentage that is out of the military spending. Yet, it saved the lab from the debilitating furloughs that, from all anecdotal accounts, have crippled the Fermilab.
But still, this is only a temporary band-aid on a bigger disease.
Although the donation ends the furlough, it does not solve Fermilab's problems. "The grain of salt is that it really does nothing to change the uncertainty with regard to the future," says Brendan Casey, a Fermilab particle physicist. "So there's some relief, but the underlying tension is still there." A DOE advisory panel will meet tomorrow and Friday to discuss the future of the lab and particle physics in the United States.
Both the US public and the politicians need to decide if they wish to continue supporting particle physics in the US. Scientists would rather hear that they do not, rather than giving mixed, wishy-washy signal. At the very least, the former will allow many to simply pull up roots and move on, knowing that a political decision was made to abandon an important field of physics. Years from now, at least, we know who to blame for such a debacle and let history judge the foolish mistake these people made.

Britten: Hymn to St. Cecilia, Op. 27
(+ Holst: This Have I Done For My True Love, Op. 34, No. 1)
Fleet Street Choir, directed by T. B. Lawrence
Recorded January 28, 1943
English Decca K 1088-89, two 78-rpm records

Next, something rather more familiar - the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell), Op. 34. The BBC, by the way, often angered the composer when announcing the work by giving only its subtitle and omitting the "Young Person's Guide" part! Given Britten's lifelong interest in providing musical experiences for children (almost every one of his operas includes parts for child singers), his irritation is understandable. This first recording of the piece is conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent, who also gave the concert première in 1946, and who conducted and narrated the film version, "Instruments of the Orchestra." Pictured below is the Steinweiss cover design for the American Columbia issue of this set:
Britten: The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Op. 34

Purcell's shadow also hangs heavily over the String Quartet No. 2, which was composed in 1945 to commemmorate the 250th anniversary of Purcell's death. This is a re-upload of a recording I originally posted in May 2008, and includes Britten's only recording as a violist in the filler, the Purcell Fantasia Upon One Note:

Link (MP3 files, 34.67 MB)
John Amis, married to Olive Zorian, the leader of the ensemble on this recording, recalled Britten's reticence talking about his own music during rehearsals for this work. Amis "listened and would occasionally ask about some detail or comment with delight, 'Oh, I see, this new tune is really the old one upside down,' or something like that, at which Ben would look hard at the score and say, 'Oh, is it? Fancy that?' Sometimes he would wink as he said it. At other times it was difficult to know whether he was fooling or not." This anecdote comes from Humphrey Carpenter's fine 1992 biography of the composer.

This is a question, I seem to be asked a lot at present….
How do Microsoft certifications relate to academic or vocational qualifications?
If your an existing Microsoft IT Academy member, we have lots of information on certification mapping available in the IT Academy members-only site that gives an overview. However, it is also possible by accessing the QCF Database. This database holds information relating to qualifications and units that are approved by Ofqual. Generally this means that they are available for delivery as components of academic or vocational programs of learning. Microsoft certifications relate to Units on the QCF.
Here are a few pointers:
- Microsoft certifications are "Units on the QCF"
- Most Microsoft certifications are on the QCF
- It is easy to search on the QCF to find which Microsoft certifications are listed
- The information can be exported in a spread sheet
- The QCF list the Units and any Qualifications that contain them
- IT certifications are listed under 6.1 for IT professional and 6.2 for User
- IT Professional Units are technical e.g. Windows 7 or Server 2008
- IT User Units are applications like Word or PowerPoint
- Units have a credit value and a level
- Microsoft Units are contained in the ITQ, BETEC and many vocational qualifications. More recently, the Microsoft Technology Associate has been included or aligned in Apprenticeships and Computer Science GCSEs
The following information shows how to check the detail of Microsoft Units and their possible inclusion in Qualifications:
Go to http://register.ofqual.gov.uk/Unit
6.1 and 6.2 cover ICT. Search on both. 6.1 lists IT Professional Qualifications (Practitioner)and 6.2 Lists IT User qualifications. You will be able to view or export to a spread sheet. The data includes Level and Credit values. Obviously it is possible to search for Microsoft in the exported data.
Double click on the Unit Reference number and it will display the Learning Outcomes
Use the link half way down the page, "View Unit's Qualifications" and it will list all the qualifications that contain the Unit.
Select the Unit and this now gives more information on the qualification
And if you continue to scroll down the Ofqual Qualification page there is an additional link right at the bottom to the Performance Figures
Microsoft certifications can attract Performance Points as Units within a Qualification
An alternative way is to search for Microsoft at the initial stage by entering "Microsoft" in the title box. The list can then be accessed in the same way as above.
The following document "Curriculum mapping to Standards" gives an overview of mapping.
ITSkillsman are a Microsoft Academic Service Partner (MASP) and are able to provide independent advice on the inclusion of Microsoft certifications in programmes of learning.

Just an oddball sex mag for you on this balmy Wednesday night (and I mean balmy with all sincerity-- I live in Atlanta).
I love the late 60's softcore sex mags. The insides of the magazines never quite live up to the promise of the front covers. Nonetheless, I think they're great fun. However, because this mag doesn't live up to the outside's promise, I have nothing to share from the inside. There were some goofy pics of dancing hippies and an article on drugs, but nothing too sleaze-tastic. Certainly not as sleaze-tastic as a game in which you guess who's a lesbian! Now that was exciting : - )
So enjoy "Freakout": a silly sex mag from the late 60's. I'm too lazy to look up the exact date at the moment, but if anyone just HAS to know the date, I can provide it.

Lost in Space: Thinking Geographically about Pedagogy in English.
Lost in Space: Thinking Geographically about Pedagogy in English. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Geographical thinking focuses on the extrinsic meanings of work in English, the meanings extracted from that work, intended or not, through mediating institutional forces, relationships, and modes of spatial organization. It considers how the effects of the work of English educators are mediated by the contiguity of their courses with other courses and programs, by the proximity of their departments with other academic disciplines, professional schools, and employers, by the multiplicity of environments through which these educators and their students circulate. It addresses questions such as how do the distributive functions of English interact with its ideological functions, and how awareness of different spaces affects events in "the classroom," which has long been the self evident spatial figure for curriculum and pedagogy. A key task English educators face is to displace both disciplinary and administrative discourses by transposing them into the realm of geography and politics. To think geographically is to consider not only how institutions construct ideologies that subjects may "internalize" or resist, but also how the regulatory norms of institutions "materialize" subjects in space, sometimes without even having first to be interiorized in people's consciousness. Professional discourse often does not address the issue of space directly enough, either in its physical, social, or discursive aspects. Another area that a geographical perspective marks out for inquiry concerns how different forms of visibility shape subjectivity. Classroom discourse is often charged with meanings that derive from where the classroom is situated in institutional geographies, and who the enunciating subjects are in those geographies than in what it ostensibly says.

My trials, tribulations and triumphs while attempting to bake my way through Lorraine Pascales book, Baking made Easy, and hopefully proving that yes, it is.
Saturday, 15 October 2011
Pad Thai
I was vary weary of that first mouthful, but I cannot believe that I even doubted Lorraine for one second. This explodes with flavour, it was stunning and I was gobsmacked, it was really really yummy. This was as usual pretty easy to make. The problem we have it that we bought a massive bag of monkey nuts when we first made pad thai and we are still making our way through it and that was the only hassle, shelling them. Word of advice, get everything ready before you turn the heat on. If I could stand all the washing up I would do it all the time and pretend I was on Something for the weekend with pretty little dishes. All very cheffy! Pad Thai fans, it may be different but it's really good. Wwww can't wait to make this again.......

As a general health tip, once you are started on an oral antibiotic, it is very important to complete the prescription. Even though your symptoms may have resolved and the signs of your infection may have disappeared, ceasing use of the antibiotic before told to by your physician can result in complications. Future infections that are resistant to antibiotics can develop through time in these situations.
Your doctor may recommend antibiotics as treatment for a variety of infections that affect the feet. No matter the cause, taking your full course of antibiotics is the only way to completely rid your body of infection and avoid risk of relapse.
If you need to meet with a skilled foot and ankle physician about an infection, sports injury or other condition, please feel free to contact the staff at East Ocean Podiatry today to schedule an appointment.

text: SOUTH BEND Rodney Hagedorn, 10, likes a good adventure. The third-grader at Hay Primary Center can't say which adventure book he's read that's been his favorite -- after all, he's read 68 of them over the course of the school year. But he definitely likes where reading takes him. "They put adventures in my head," Rodney said of reading. "I imagine I'm there. And if I don't know something, I like to get a book." That's the kind of talk about books that Karen Biek, librarian, and Craig Haenes, Hay's principal, want to hear from their students. The Accelerated Reader program was started at the school in the spring of 2005. The program challenges kids to read and set reading goals. When they reach their goals they get special rewards. Independently reading 20 books wins students a green AR, or Accelerated Reading, dog tag, and their name on the AR Wall next to the library. The AR Wall has a list of all the kids who've hit the 20-book mark and beyond. The reading challenge doesn't stop for students at 20 books. If they read 50 books, they enter Club 50, get a blue AR tag and it's marked on the AR Wall. Reading 100 books will get you into the Varsity, a gold tag and another mark on the Wall. And elite readers who have read 150 books are inducted into the Hawkeye Readers 150 Club, they get a red AR tag, and their name is set apart and marked on the AR Wall. But the kids aren't just encouraged to read as many books as they can. They also have to take a reading comprehension test and pass it with an 80 percent, according to Biek. So far, Biek said, students at Hay Primary have read 12,850 books and 21,346,031 words. Ian Vail, 10, has added many books and words to the list. He is one of two students at Hay to be admitted into the Hawkeye club. Further, he expects to read 160 books by the time school is out for the summer. His favorite book so far is Polar Bears Past Bedtime because it taught him about polar bears. But Ian is simply a fan of reading in general. "When I'm reading, I don't know what's coming up next, and that's exciting," Ian said. Even though it's fun for the kids, said Haenes, the AR program also helped them excel. "It's helped their comprehension a lot," Haenes said. There's also been an added and perhaps unintended benefit. Kids and parents are proud of their achievements. One student gave Haenes a hug and mentioned how proud his principal and his parents were going to be of him because of all the books he was reading. And Elias Fuentes, 7, who said he's read 30 books so far isn't going to stop there -- and for good reason. When asked why he likes to read, Elias said, "I'm very good at it."

I believe that Mr. Elmore brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will support each and every student. His passion for teaching and learning along with building relationships will be a key ingredient to ensuring that "ALL" really means "ALL" for our MCHS family! I look forward to working with Mr. Elmore, the staff, the students and the families as we continue to DREAM BIG!

No More Plastic Bags: The Trashcan Liner Conundrum
For years, we've been using our plastic grocery bags to line all our trashcans (including the one in our kitchen). Now that we've been packing groceries in our own cloth bags, we're running out of plastic bags for lining trashcans! We talked about this conundrum a few months ago and thought it would be a good one to revisit – any suggestions?
We really like using our own bags at the grocery store – not only is this good for ecological and economical reasons, but the bags are also easier to pack and carry. But it seems counter-productive to then buy plastic liner-bags for our trashcans.
A quick internet search didn't reveal many solutions. Eco-friendly and biodegradable trash liners are available, but tend to be fairly cost-prohibitive for us (especially as compared to free plastic grocery bags!). Unfortunately, the Go-Green plastic bags we talked about in our earlier post still aren't very easy to find.
One website suggested forgoing liners all together and dumping the contents of household garbage bins directly into the outside trashcan. This might work for our office and bathroom trash, but might not be so hot for the kitchen garbage.
Are you facing this problem too? What do you think?

The usually prolific Richard H. Kirk has been unsurprisingly quiet as of late. Playing shows as Cabaret Voltaire again (which I have conflicted feelings about) and a small reissue campaign via Mute and Die Stadt has been about the extent of his recent activity. Which, admittedly, is odd from a man who used to make up projects just to fill out his own solo compilation albums. So when first hearing about the new material that makes up Dasein being released, I was eager but unsure what to expect. Thankfully, the hiatus has done nothing to deter Kirk, who has put together yet another exceptional work of his own take on electronic music, and one that channels moments from his entire career.
As aforementioned, one thing Kirk has done in recent years is revive the Cabaret Voltaire name for some solo performances, and part of me is unsure why he did not opt to release Dasein under that name. While I feel conflicted about such a thing (CV has always felt like it should be Kirk and Mallinder together, with or without other members), the sound of this album does call to mind early CV, reframed for modern days and technology. "Nuclear Cloud," for example, runs a standard electro synth sequence with some added outbursts of noise and squalling guitar, a trademark of those early days of Kirk's work. There is a similar sound to "Let's Jack," but with a plethora of noisy sound effects, cut up voices, and wah heavy funk, it more resembles the work of the Bomb Squad than Cabaret Voltaire.
Other songs here feel more in sync with Kirk's solo output from the 1990s. "Do It Right Now" structurally feels like an almost disco piece with the synths amplified a bit, but bursts of static, bizarre voice processing (Kirk's first use of his own voice in over a decade), and some added nearly off beat moments gives it that appropriate amount of improvised looseness that often peppers his work from that period. The same goes for the disjointed noise and dubby echoes throughout "New Lucifer/The Truth is Bad" that, after the beat slowly comes into focus, becomes a dirty, heavy, pounding bit of sinister electronic music.
There are also a significant number of unique moments that are not as easy to place in his timeline of work, but stand strongly and fit with his body of work nonetheless. The muffled and rhythms throughout "Lear Jet" become an accompaniment to a massive low end and cut up samples that become wonderfully dramatic and Wagnerian, what Laibach in an alternate reality could have done if they had not become so enamored with doing covers. These heavy moments are some of the best to be had on Dasein, such as the grimy sequencer that keeps "20 Block Lockdown" on edge from beginning to end. That dirt stays on the more electro/psychedelic tinged "Radioactive Water", which also features some additional harsh Kirk guitar playing.
Closing on the dark, guitar and FM synth driven "Sub / Antarctic / H₂O," Kirk chooses to end a rhythm heavy record on a beat-less note, which summarizes the mood of this record wonderfully. Kirk has always injected his work with themes of surveillance, violent politics, and impending doom, all of which are relevant in the present day and becoming more and more so. Heavy rhythms abound on Dasein, but the mood is not one necessarily conducive to dancing, but maybe the perfect soundtrack for a little bit of doomsday prepping.

As the first Olympic team medal won by this country's gymnasts for a century, it was a historic achievement.
The last time Britain's men celebrated medal glory was at the Stockholm Games in 1912, when they also won bronze in artistic gymnastics.
On that occasion they were beaten to the silver medal by Hungary, while Italy carried off the gold.
It was also a quite different event. Teams of between 16 and 40 gymnasts performed simultaneously against a one-hour time limit, with 23 men in the GB team.
The apparatus on which the competitors had to impress the judges consisted of four horizontal bars, four parallel bars, four pommelled horses, and four Roman rings.
Each team had to provide its own hand apparatus for the free-standing exercises.
Great Britain's youngest team member, Henry Oberholzer, was 19. The oldest participant in the team was 34-year-old Samuel Hodgetts.
A landmark year in the history of the Games, 1912 was the first time that competitors from all five continents were represented.
But the number of countries taking part stood at a comparatively tiny 29, fielding 2,409 participants in 103 events. There were only 53 women competitors.
This year, 205 countries have sent more than 10,000 athletes to compete in 300 events.

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - The Musician.
The musician will let you find several different types of music related gifts to buy him. Not always is he easy to buy for, but if you put some thought into it you are likely to come up with something that he will love.
- Music. Most musicians need sheet music. There are tons of different options, but choosing one can be as simple as finding some songs he wants to learn or finding the types of music he likes.
- Accessories. While you may not find new accessories exciting, for most musicians they can be. Consider drumming tools for the drummer, picks and clips for the guitarist, or some other accessory that can be used to make a different sound with the instrument of choice.
- New Instrument. While this is certainly not in every one's budget you can choose a new instrument for a gift. Most musicians love something new and interesting to play around. You may want to consider a djembe or another small drum.
There are a lot of different options. You only need to make sure that you are thinking about what he would like. When you do that you are likely to find that the perfect Valentine's day gift ideas for him are just waiting for you to discover them!
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - CD's.
For the music lover in your man you may want to consider CD's. This can be a great gift, but you will need to make sure that you are choosing CD's that he will really enjoy. Follow these tips to make sure you are getting it right.
- Make a list. Santa makes a list for a reason. Here you want your list to include his favorite artists and or his favorite songs.
- Check it twice. So, I probably should let go of the whole Santa thing in my Valentine's day article, but it works so nice. Now you want to check your list with his current CD collection. You want to make sure that you are not getting something he already has.
- Rate the choices. You want to make sure that you rate them from the top to the bottom so that you are choosing one or two CD's that he will really love.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - MP3's.
You can follow the same technique to buy MP3's for his current MP3 player or for his computer. You want to make sure you are choosing his favorite songs here so that your money is well worth it. Rating the artists and songs he likes is often the best way to figure out the best songs for you to purchase. You will want to make sure that you aren't buying something he already owns.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - The Mixed Tape.
The art of the "mixed tape" may have died, but in its place we have an easier option. Making a mixed tape has always been romantic. You want to choose his favorite songs and put them together or to choose a series of songs related to your relationship. Either option is certainly acceptable though ones that remind him of your relationship are going to work best for guys who are sentimental. You can now burn your mixed tape onto a CD for even easier, faster, and certainly loads simpler options for making a mixed tape.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - Subscription.
There are several websites that offer music subscriptions which has a lot of advantages for many music lovers. Maybe it is a Pandora subscription for a years worth of commercial free music. You definitely don't have to stop there with hundreds of options. Check them out and find the site that offers you the most for your money and music that he will enjoy.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - Stereo.
Not everyone is into stereos today and these can be expensive purchases. However, if your man would like a stereo and your budget will afford one then this can be a great gift. Consider the features he will like, check out reviews, and take the time to get the most for your money.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - MP3 Player.
An MP3 player tends to be a much more common desire among people today. You can definitely get an award if you are thinking an MP3 player is a great way to go for your man. You may want to consider a few things before you rush out and buy this amazing gift.
- Buying used. Most of us don't like the idea of giving gifts that have been used before. However, when looking at giving an expensive gift, such as an MP3 player buying used offers you the option of getting a great gift for a smaller price. This is particularly true when you consider the many accessories you can often get with the MP3 player including cases, sometimes music, screen protectors, and earphones.
- Buying refurbished. Refurbished is similar to used, but a company has taken it in and makes sure that it works. Often they have been cleaned, wiped free of old data, and also checked for functionality. They cost a bit more than used, but they are still a savings on the original.
- Buying older. There is always a newest and greatest option. This is pretty exciting for most people, but if you buy an older model you will get more for your money. It is true that it won't have the newest features and it might not have the best storage, but it will work well and it can save you a lot of money by buying an older version of the hottest MP3 player.
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Him - Accessories.
Another great option is to buy some cool music related accessories. There are really tons of options depending on the stuff that he has or would enjoy. You can get some accessories for his computer that are music related, you can buy a new cover for his MP3 player, or even some music for his phone.
Music offers a lot of great Valentine's day gift ideas for him. Just remember that while we often want something romantic, he is more likely to love something he will use. Take this time to buy him a gift that he will really like.
