More importantly, he is still held in enormous affection by viewers. What else could explain the sale of 25,000 copies of his memoirs, As It Seemed to Me? The book has remained in the Sunday Times Top 10 Bestsellers List since it was published at the beginning of April. On promotional tours around the country, Cole has been mobbed as if he were the lead singer of Take That - albeit in a funny coat. It's enough to make you think that politics is the new rock'n'roll. Robin Oakley - his successor as the BBC's Political Editor - had an impossible act to follow. So just why is Cole still famous enough to be regularly accosted by what he calls "the green ink brigade" on the Tube? Why is he esteemed so long after he has stopped receiving the oxygen of publicity generated by almost daily television appearances?
Wilson puts it down to a rather outdated concept in both journalism and politics: "I don't want to sound too much like a form teacher, but he's transparently honest, that shines through. He's a very moral man, upright in a rather old-fashioned way. Maybe that comes from his branch of Protestantism, Presbyterianism. He isn't a table-banging Paisleyite, he's much more like Cromwell - 'I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.' He's striving to do the right thing - a 17th-century Protestant ideal."
In political interviews, Cole certainly played it straight, neither adopting the bully-boy tactics of a Paxman nor bowing and scraping a la David Frost. In one memorable exchange in the film, Cole takes issue with Geoffrey Howe over unemployment. "I was riveted," Wilson remembers. "There was John telling a former Foreign Secretary and Chancellor, 'It's just not good enough'. Geoffrey was perfectly happy afterwards because he knew where John was coming from. He wasn't just there to ambush Geoffrey. Politicians trust John. He never reveals his sources. They talk to him because he would never say where the bodies are buried."
Cole's outmoded sense of fair play even extends to the virtually unthinkable: he believes most politicians are fundamentally decent. Forrest Gump's doctor catches the prevailing mood when he says at the beginning of that film that Gump's back is "as crooked as a politician".
"I don't share the view that all politicians are crooks, as bad as estate agents, or even journalists," Cole muses down the line between book-signings and Harold Wilson obituaries last week."Most politicians come in with a sense of idealism. They make inevitable compromises - the party system imposes compromise - but most of them retain a reasonable amount of their original intention to do good. Frankly, compared to other jobs, the money and the working conditions of an MP are not such as to be terribly attractive, so I must assume they have a sense of public purpose.
"I do also find them amusing company," he continues in this unfashionable vein. "I'd prefer to be reporting the doings of politicians rather than those of City men or businessmen. Some of them are wise, too - and I don't widely use the word wisdom. Harold Wilson made many mistakes, but when you were just sitting and chatting to him about ordinary things, you were always getting sound advice. You wouldn't necessarily say that of everybody you met on the Tube. That's the reason for my love affair with the species."
Not that he's lived happily ever after with every politician. "Broadcasting is all on the record, and that's where awkwardness can come in," Cole explains. "You're asking politicans to do things they may not think are to their advantage. Gerald Kaufmann, for instance, makes his own rules about broadcasting. He doesn't like entrusting himself to soundbite-ism, to the fact that I choose 45 seconds from a 10-minute interview with him. The more suspicious want to set the agenda. Gerald can be awkward in that respect."
Mrs Thatcher could be awkward too - no surprises there - but Cole did once succeed in catching her off-guard. "The difficulty about interviewing her," he reflects, "was that she was the supreme professional. You had to work hard to get news out of her. I was once walking over to No 10 with Glyn Mathias from ITN, and he said, 'What questions are you going to ask her?' I said, 'If you ask her about the weather and I ask her about her horoscope, we'll both get the same answer: Government economic policies are working.' You had to surprise her, get under her guard. When I interviewed her after she'd announced the 1987 election, she was burying me in statistics when I saw a chink for an old man to ask a woman no longer in the first flush of youth whether this would be her last election. She replied, 'Oh no, I intend to go on and on and on.' This was not such welcome news to some of the electorate, nor to some of her younger colleagues. Kenneth Baker said in his memoirs that she regretted it."
Those are the sort of moments for which Cole will be remembered. For an apparently untelegenic older man - he's now 67 - with a wiry hairdo and bottle-bottom glasses, he had tremendous presence. His appearance with a microphone outside No 10 always guaranteed compelling viewing. This was allied to a cogency not always manifest in political reporters. In his own phrase, Cole aimed to provide "politics for grown-ups". Cole was also immune to Westminster Fever. "When things got paranoiac during Mrs Thatcher's time," Wilson says, "John always kept his feet on the ground. That's why he kept ahead of the pack in Thatcher's leadership crisis - journalistically his finest hour - because he was rooted in real politics."
We could not, of course, close this bulletin without mentioning Cole's accent, the harsh Ulster brogue so incessantly sent up by Spitting Image, Private Eye's "Hondootedly" column and countless budding impressionists. As with everything, Cole is sanguine about being a figure of fun."I don't object - that would be too strong - but I do find it ludicrous that when we're nearly in the 21st century, people around this diverse country of ours are still surprised to hear a Scots, Geordie or Irish accent rather than Received Pronunciation English."
Even on the subject of his mockers, though, Cole manages to deliver a rallying-cry for a Cromwellian sense of decency. "The Spitting Image puppets are good, and the impressions are OK, but they haven't a political thought in their heads. I don't think those guys believe in anything. It's the same with Private Eye. If you believed Private Eye's politics, you'd be looking for a guy on a white charger to ride in and rescue you. We already had him. He was called Mussolini."

In Reply to: Re: No Treatment For Mom (update) posted by Maggie C. on June 02, 2000 at 21:37:27:
: : On April 5, 2000 my mother found out she has small cell cancer of the right lung and broncial tubes. She is 74 and does not want to go through the Chemo which the doctor said will not cure her anyway. It would only prolong her life a little more. So mom says NO she does not want to spend her time left here on this earth being sick with Chemo. We respect her decision however hard that will be for us. Just two weeks after finding out about: : the cancer she then found she has an aneruism in her left brain. She began having a severe cough shortly before the cancer diagnosis and had gotten worse until I gave her a humidifier to use. This has helped alot. Right now she says she is no pain and is still getting around fairly well. She tires very easily and her appetite is not good. I guess I just needed someone else to hear mom's story. I know there is nothing left to do but pray and hope that: : she won't have to suffer to much or to long. Like a lot of doctors now, he would give us no time limit on mom. But from all research I have found without treatment the average life span is 1-3 months. I would appreciate any feedback you might have here.
: I just wanted to update mom a little. She started on oxycontin 20mg 5-24-2000 for pain. After only three days on this she became very sick to her stomach, weak, dizzy and extremely exhausted. My sister and I paid another visit to the onc. and he gave her some meds for the sickness. She was to take these every 4 hours as needed. She is now able (6-2-2000) to get by with no more than two of these a day. We also got her signed up with Hospice. The : pain meds were very expensive ($40 a week). With Hospice medicare will now pay for all the meds pertaining to the cancer. This was a real relief to my mother who is on SS. She tires very easily and sleep alot now. But she is pain free so that is a blessing. I knew she had only been putting off getting them because of the cost. But that is all taken care of now. God bless each of you for your continued support. Maggie
Hi Maggie, I am so glad your Mom isn't in any pain. I forgot to tell you that my sister also got very sick to her stomach and had to take meds for that. Oh how I wish they could find a cure for all cancers, because it is such a dreadful didease.I hope and pray that you mom continues to have no pain and I'm happy that you are in touch with Hospice. Maggie, you, your mom and family are in my prayers. God Bless >> Ruthie

An eight-year-old boy has been shot and killed by his brother who mistakenly thought the loaded handgun he was holding was a BB gun, US police have said.
Three siblings were visiting their 19-year-old uncle on Saturday when one pulled the trigger of the gun, hitting his brother, named as Sammy Lorenzo, in the chest.
Emergency services were called to the house in Cincinnati, Ohio at around 4pm. The boy was taken to hospital and rushed into surgery, but later died, Cincinnati Police Lt. Don Luck told the Cincinnati Enquirer.
One of the brothers "kept telling the story of how it happened, over and over again," Lt. Luck said. "It's so sad."
"We walked in through the front door here that's in to the kitchen area and the child was laying on his back with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was conscious and alert at that time," Sgt. Jim Perkins told the Fox 19 news channel.
"I think everyone is pretty much upset, considering the circumstances, and at this point we don't know where the adult was inside the house and that's why we're conducting the investigation at this time," he added.
No charges are expected to be filled against the child, but it's too early to tell whether charges will be filed against any adults, Lt. Luck said.

Turnovers, defensive lapses cost Tigers in 31-17 loss to Jackets |
by David Hood - Senior Writer - 2011-10-30 01:03:42.0 |
ATLANTA, GA. – Clemson head coach Dabo SwinneyDabo Swinney Unfortunately, it was a complete game in the wrong way as the Tigers struggled in all three phases of the game as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets ruined the Tigers' perfect season with a 31-17 victory at Bobby Dodd Stadium Saturday night.
The Tigers had a chance to make it a game in the fourth quarter after Rashard HallRashard Hall But quarterback Tajh BoydTajh Boyd Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said four turnovers and an ability to stop the Jacket offense were too costly.
"We just made too many costly errors tonight," Swinney said. "We turned it over four times, had costly penalties, and allowed too many big plays. It's not complicated, they out executed us in all phases. We did not quit. I'm proud of their effort. If we scored after Hall's interception, we would have been seven points down with 10 minutes to play. We have no excuses, they just whipped us."
Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd, who was intercepted twice, agreed that the turnovers made a difference.
"We just made too many costly errors tonight. We turned it over four times, had costly penalties, and allowed too many big plays. It's not complicated, they out executed us in all phases.
"The key to the game was our turnovers," Boyd said. "We turned the ball over four times. When you do that, it's hard to win games. We have to execute better. You have to give Georgia Tech a lot of credit. They really executed well tonight. We didn't make the big plays and they did."
The Tigers stopped Tech on the game's opening possession and then drove right down the field, eventually getting a 34-yard field goal from Chandler CatanzaroChandler Catanzaro The turning point might have been when freshman D.J. HowardD.J. Howard The Jackets added three more scores to lead 24-3 at the half as the Clemson offense, which had scored 115 points over the previous two games, couldn't get on track.
In the second half, the Tigers took the opening kickoff and drove down the field and scored when Sammy WatkinsSammy Watkins The Jackets answered with another touchdown run just two minutes later to go up 31-10, and Mike BellamyMike Bellamy The Tigers finally dented the scoreboard again early in the fourth quarter, driving 97 yards down the field in 10 plays. Boyd tried to sneak it over, fumbled in the pile of bodies and right guard Brandon ThomasBrandon Thomas Swinney said he had a disappointed group of players.
"That's a very disappointed locker room. I'm disappointed, at the turnovers in particular," he said. "And then some of the big plays where we didn't make a play. But our guys didn't quit. We get that pick, but then we have a miscommunication and turn it right back over. That's the difference in the game.
"You've got to give Georgia Tech credit, they're a solid football team. They're in a battle for their division with Virginia Tech, whoever wins that game. I told our team, get your heads up. This is an 8-1 football team. We've gone 12 straight weeks. The open date is coming at a good time. We've got a lot of guys that need to get well mentally and physically. It's been a grind."
Boyd finished 23-for-40 for 295 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Bellamy led Clemson in rushing with eight carries for 67 yards, and Watkins had 10 catches for 159 yards. He wound up with 290 all-purpose yards, the fifth-highest total in Clemson history.

5Fossil Fuel Subsidies Still Too High
October 12th, 2011 by Charis Michelsen
Big oil gets big money from the government — as CleanTechnica readers may remember, $4 billion was awarded to big oil in the form of tax breaks in 2011 alone. Given that subsidies worldwide rose to at least $470 billion worldwide in 2010 — according to International Energy Agency analysts — that is perhaps more surprising than it should be.
You read that correctly — fossil fuel subsidies ROSE in 2010, despite G20 member countries agreeing to reduce them. To be fair, total subsidies were lower than 2008 (the great oil price peak of the 21st century) — but they were still much higher than 2009.
While the governments paying out like to tell us that they're helping keep the cost of gas down, only about a quarter of the subsidies benefit gasoline. According to the IEA, only 8% of the subsidies reach their alleged beneficiaries — the poorest 20% of the population.
Also low on the list of facts made public is increased dependence on foreign oil — the cheaper oil is, the more of it countries are encouraged to buy. The percentage of domestically generated (and hopefully cleaner) energy drops.
If fossil fuel subsidies could be eliminated over the next ten years, the IEA believes global energy demand would drop as oil demand drops. CO2 emissions could also drop by as much as 1.7 billion tons per year (that's the current total output of the UK, Germany, Italy, and France combined). Half the G20 countries are said to be taking steps, according to the IEA, but money speaks the loudest. Vote with your wallets, guys. Go green and buy less oil.

It is probably fair to say that Incantations used words more heavily than any of Mike's previous albums. Most of the lyrics used on Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn were seemingly nothing more than nonsense lyrics, courtesy of Clodagh Simmonds, though a few Irish Gaelic words found their way onto Ommadawn, and On Horseback of course had lyrics in English. Incantations, however, drew on two works of English literature for its lyrics, and also incorporated some lyrics in Latin. On looking at them more closely, it emerges that, despite being from different sources, and seemingly being about different things, the lyrics share common themes.
Before going on, I'd like to thank Mary-Carol Lindbloom for her advice, support and enthusiasm during the making of this page. It was always nice to know that it wasn't a totally private obsession of mine...
I'll start with the lyrics heard first in Part 1, then move on to those from Part 2 and Part 4.
Part 1
In Part 1 at 9:41 and Part 2 at 7:44 we hear the words:
Diana, Luna, Lucina Lumen
Diana was known by the Romans as the virgin goddess of the moon, as well as of fertility. Women worshipped her as Diana was said to give an easy birth for their children (hence Diana's position as patroness of childbirth). Diana's being equated with the Greek goddess Artemis led to her becoming goddess of hunting, as well as nature and animals. Luna was also a Roman goddess of the moon, though she later became combined with Diana. The Latin word Luna means 'moon'. Lucina was the name given in Roman mythology to Juno (queen of the Olympian gods) as goddess of childbirth. The name comes from the same root as lucinus: bringing to the light.
The word Lumen ('light') concludes the three-word chant (appears at 14:12, 14:29 and finally at 15:03 in the 2011 version).
Part 2
The next set of lyrics we hear are in Part 2 at 11:40. These are from American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha". The poem is written in 22 parts, plus an introduction. I'll feature here just the sections that are used in Incantations. If you would like to read the whole work, you can read it online at Poets' Corner. The first part that Mike uses is from the final part, 'Hiawatha's departure' (parts where this text differs from Mike's are highlighted in bold, see below for notes):
By the shore of Gitche Gumee, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, At the doorway of his wigwam, In the pleasant Summer morning, Hiawatha stood and waited. All the air was full of freshness, All the earth was bright and joyous, And before him, through the sunshine, Westward toward the neighboring forest Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo, Passed the bees, the honey-makers, Burning, singing In the sunshine. Bright above him shone the heavens, Level spread the lake before him; From its bosom leaped the sturgeon, Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine; On its margin the great forest Stood reflected in the water, Every tree-top had its shadow, Motionless beneath the water. From the brow of Hiawatha Gone was every trace of sorrow, As the fog from off the water, As the mist from off the meadow. With a smile of joy and triumph, With a look of exultation, As of one who in a vision Sees what is to be, but is not, Stood and waited Hiawatha. Toward the sun his hands were lifted, Both the palms spread out against it, And between the parted fingers Fell the sunshine on his features, Flecked with light his naked shoulders, As it falls and flecks an oak-tree Through the rifted leaves and branches. O'er the water floating, flying, Something in the hazy distance, Something in the mists of morning, Loomed and lifted from the water, Now seemed floating, now seemed flying, Coming nearer, nearer, nearer. Was it Shingebis the diver? Or the pelican, the Shada? Or the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah? Or the white goose, Waw-be-wawa, With the water dripping, flashing, From its glossy neck and feathers? It was neither goose nor diver, Neither pelican nor heron, O'er the water floating, flying, Through the shining mist of morning, But a birch canoe with paddles, Rising, sinking on the water, Dripping, flashing in the sunshine; And within it came a people
Shore - A small difference. It has become 'shores' Pleasant - Replaced with 'early' Makers - Mike omits the s Triumph - Mike has 'gladness' here Against - Mike's version has 'toward' instead Wawa - It seems to be 'wana' being sung here Mist - Here, an s is added, making it 'mists'
The next section used, at 16:54 of Part 2 is from part XII of the poem, titled 'The Son of the Evening Star':
Can it be the sun descending O'er the level plain of water? Or the Red Swan floating, flying, Wounded by the magic arrow, Staining all the waves with crimson, With the crimson of its life-blood, Filling all the air with splendor, With the splendor of its plumage? Yes; it is the sun descending, Sinking down into the water; All the sky is stained with purple, All the water flushed with crimson! No; it is the Red Swan floating, Diving down beneath the water; To the sky its wings are lifted, With its blood the waves are reddened! Over it the Star of Evening Melts and trembles through the purple, Hangs suspended in the twilight. No; it is a bead of wampum On the robes of the Great Spirit As he passes through the twilight, Walks in silence through the heavens.
Can - Has been replaced in Incantations with the word 'could' With the splendor of its plumage - here, Mike has 'filling all the air with plumage' The three lines before the end (starting with 'No; it is a bead of wampum') have been removed completely.
It would seem, to look at these sections, that there was nothing in common here with the Latin lyrics first found in Part 1. However, if we look at Part III of the poem, 'Hiawatha's Childhood' (which you can find on the Poets' Corner page if you want to read the whole thing), we find the line "From the full moon fell Nokomis". She is also later referred to as 'Daughter of the moon'.Nokomis is Hiawatha's grandmother, and the one who cares for Hiawatha after his mother dies. In that, we have the connection with the moon - 'luna' from the first set of lyrics.
The canoe that's described in 'Hiawatha's departure' is carrying a group of visitors, led by "The Black-Robe chief, the Prophet, / He the Priest of Prayer, the Pale-face". This is a Christian priest, come to preach Christianity to Hiawatha and his people. After doing this, the visitors fall asleep. While they sleep, Hiawatha asks Nokomis to take care of them, and then departs westward, into the setting sun.
Gitche Gumee is Lake Superior (the 'Big-Sea water'), biggest of the Great Lakes found on the borders of Canada and the northern United States. Several Chippewa/Ojibwe tribes live around its edges.
The image of the Red Swan comes from a tale from the Chippewa (Ojibwe/Anishinaabe) nation of native Americans, which tells of a red swan who is one day spotted by a young native man when out hunting. He is struck by its magnificence, as it fills all the air around him with a red glow. He shoots all his arrows at the swan, determined to catch it, but misses each time. He returns later with three magic arrows and with the third he hits the swan. To his surprise the swan doesn't fall over, dead, but instead flies off towards the setting sun (and so he is led off on a great adventure). The imagery of the swan 'filling all the air with splendour' ties in, as does it being 'wounded by the magic arrow' (though it seems in the story that the swan is not really wounded by the arrow through its neck, or at least not affected by it). Longfellow seems to suggest that the swan is bleeding - "staining all the waves with crimson, with the crimson of its life-blood". The version of the tale I read certainly does not have the swan bleeding. This use of native traditional imagery, blended by Longfellow into his own imagery, is something that occurs throughout 'The Song of Hiawatha'.
There could be several reasons for the 'alterations' to the words. I saw another edition of 'the Song of Hiawatha' which had slight differences in it (though it was mostly the same as the version here...). It could be that these differences were all present in the edition that Mike used. It may be that Maddy Prior sang from memory, or that Mike wrote the words out from memory, and the changes slipped in then, as she remembered a few words wrongly. I would have thought that Mike would have had a printed copy to hand to make sure she sang the right words, but maybe he didn't, or maybe he decided that the word being changed didn't matter. It could also be that the words were altered deliberately (the three lines which have been removed right at the end will almost certainly have been taken out deliberately). There doesn't seem to really be a reason why the rest of the words should have been altered though, unless someone just happened to think it sounded better with the alterations. The words in the version here seem, to me, to fit just as well to the rhythm of Mike's melody as the words he has used (unlike with the alterations we will see made in part 4, where the structure has been altered to fit the structure of Mike's music).
Part 4
The lyrics found in Part 4 (starting at 15:03) come from the beginning of Act 5, Scene 1 of the play 'Cynthia's revels' (or 'The Fountain of Selfe-Love') written by Ben Jonson in 1599 (Performed 1600, published 1601). The section is often known as 'Hymn to Diana' (though also known as 'Ode to Cynthia', 'The Hymn of Hesperus' and 'Queen and Huntress' - I would imagine that, coming from a play, Jonson didn't title the 'poem' himself) and is sung by the character Hesperus. This version uses modernised English spellings. Anyone interested in reading the whole play, with original spellings, can find it online at the Public Domain Modern English Text Collection of the University of Michigan, though I must say that this version doesn't clearly identify characters, making it less than ideal.
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in thy silver chair, State in wonted manner keep: Hesperus entreats thy light, Goddess, excellently bright. Earth, let not an envious shade Dare itself to interpose; Cynthia's shining orb was made Heaven to clear when day did close: Bless us then with wishèd sight, Goddess, excellently bright. Lay thy bow of pearl apart, And thy crystal-shining quiver; Give unto the flying hart Space to breathe, how short soever; Thou that mak'st a day of night, Goddess, excellently bright.
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in thy silver chair, State in wonted manner keep: Hesperus entreats thy light, Goddess, excellently bright.
Earth, let not an envious shade Dare itself to interpose; Cynthia's shining orb was made Heaven to clear when day did close: Bless us then with wishèd sight, Goddess, excellently bright.
Lay thy bow of pearl apart, And thy crystal-shining quiver; Give unto the flying hart Space to breathe, how short soever; Thou that mak'st a day of night, Goddess, excellently bright.
Mike made some alterations to the poem for its use in Incantations. I'll look at the poem in its original form, then detail Mike's alterations below.
The poem addresses the moon goddess Diana, or Cynthia (this name presumably coming from Cynthus, the hill in Delos which was the birth place of Diana and Apollo). In literature of the time, Queen Elizabeth 1st (of England) was often addressed as Cynthia, as like the goddess, Elizabeth had a reputation for being a virgin. She also was seen to outshine all her court. 'Cynthia's Revels' was an attempt on Jonson's part to gain favour in Elizabeth's court. A key feature of the play is that there is to be a night of celebration in Cynthia's court, where a play will be performed. Not coincidentally, Elizabeth held regular nights of festivities at which such entertainment was provided; it was on one of these nights that Jonson hoped that 'Cynthia's Revels' would eventually be performed. We therefore find things in the play that aim to compliment Cynthia, and therefore Elizabeth as well. This 'Ode to Cynthia' is a particularly visible form of this flattery of the queen. The play was indeed performed at Queen Elizabeth's court. It seems it wasn't a complete success however, partly because the play was a heavy satire on the exact type of people who were sat in the audience - that is, the royal courtiers. Jonson, however, later met with success in the court of Elizabeth's successor, King James.
It asks of the moon that, now the sun has gone down, she keeps the 'state' in the 'wonted manner'. The poem is asking her to keep the situation the same even though the sun has gone down; that is, keep it light (that is, to make a 'day of night'), by shining.
Hesperus is god of the evening star, or the planet Venus as we now know it to be (back then, the belief was that there was Eosphorus, the morning star and Hesperus the evening star - we now know that these are both in fact Venus, but as they appeared at different times, they were believed to be separate objects and so were given different names). Being one of the first 'stars' to appear, it is seen by Jonson that Hesperus 'entreats' the moon's light - it comes up first, then asks the moon to shine.
The second stanza (verse) asks the earth to "let not an envious shade dare itself to interpose". Shade in this case means shadow; it's asking the earth not to eclipse the moon, by allowing its shadow to get in the way, as Cynthia's shining orb (the moon) was made to 'clear' (in this case, brighten) the heavens when the day has finished. Cynthia is asked to "Bless us then with wishèd sight", in other words, to let us see this sight that we wish to see - her appearance (the sight of her being so wonderful that her appearance is a blessing).
The third stanza addresses Cynthia the huntress, as opposed to the other two stanzas which address Cynthia as moon goddess. It seems to refer to the legend of Diana and Actaeon where Diana, when tired from hunting, bathed in her sacred valley, in a small pool fed by a fountain, in a cave. Diana had given her bow and quiver (the implements of archery associated with Diana) and her javelin to one of her nymphs (therefore having laid them 'apart' - to one side). Actaeon stumbled across this cave while hunting for deer, and saw Diana naked in the pool. Diana was enraged, and wanted to reach for her arrows. She was unable to, so turned Actaeon into a stag (a hart) instead. He ran away, but was startled by the sight of his own reflection in a pool of water, and stopped. When he did so, his dogs caught up with him and, not recognising Actaeon, tore him apart. Here, however, Jonson is making a request; for Cynthia to put down her bow and quiver, and stop hunting, allowing the 'flying hart' (escaping deer) 'space to breathe', and live at least for a little time without fear of attack. Whoever this is aimed at (whether Cynthia, Queen Elizabeth, or both), it seems that Jonson would rather have her making a 'day of night' than 'hunting' people (perhaps acting rashly in the process).
Mike's alterations make it read like this...
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in a silver chair, State in wonted manner keep: Earth, let not an envious shade Dare itself to interpose; Cynthia's shining orb was made Heav'n to cheer when day did close: Lay thy bow of pearl apart, And thy crystal-shining quiver; Give unto the flying hart Space to breathe, how short soever; Hesperus entreats thy light, Goddess, excellently bright. Bless us then with wished sight, Thou who makes a day of night...

Mail-order Houses
by Les Henry
Historical catalogues (links below)
House plans (links below);
Current Sears catalogue (optional) to be brought in
Assign a different catalogue to each group of students.
Suggested catalogues are the:
Eaton's Spring and Summer 1936 catalogue
Nerlich Fall and Holiday 1939-1940 catalogue
Simpson's Spring and Summer 1945 catalogue
Eaton's Fall and Winter 1948 catalogue
Eaton's Christmas Book 1956
Eaton's Spring and Summer 1975 catalogue
A recent Sears Catalogue, if available
Using one of two floor plans of a 1929 Eaton's house (
House 1
) or (
House 2
), or a student's own house for the group that uses the current Sears catalogue, each group must build a model of a house and then furnish it with items from one catalogue.
Students must decide on the composition and economic status of their family and furnish the house accordingly.
They must then calculate the cost of all items. Rooms to include as a minimum are kitchen, bathroom, living room or parlour, and one bedroom. Other rooms can be added it groups wish.
The houses can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, as students wish and as time and resources permit. Furnishings can be printed from catalogue pages and glued onto stiff paper or drawn using the illustration as reference. Students can glue small stands behind the pictures to make them stand up.
When groups are finished, students present their houses to the class and discuss the furnishings they selected and why.
As a class, students compare the changes in technologies, décor, and costs.

(1) The gut contents of 1206 animals belonging to twenty-six species collected from pitfalls in 1973 were examined under a binocular microscope using x 100 magnification. (2) Fifteen taxa, which were mostly Staphylinidae, had no solid remains in the gut and were probably fluid-feeders. (3) Notiophilus biguttatus, Loricera pilicornis and Lamycetes fulvicornis fed primarily on Collembola, Tachyporus spp. on fungi, Agonum dorsale on aphids, Forficula auricularia on plant material and Bembidion lampros on Diptera and Collembola. Feronia melanaria, Harpalus rufipes and Nebria brevicollis contained a wide range of food and there was considerable overlap between species, but Coleoptera adults and larvae featured prominently in the diet of all three. Aphids were eaten by seven species and formed an appreciable part of the diet of Agonum dorsale and Forficula auricularia. (4) The list of aphid feeders was extended to twelve species by the examination of a further 1051 animals collected by daytime search of the ground zone of a spring barley crop. The importance of Agonum dorsale as an aphid feeder was confirmed and Risophilus atricapillus L., Calathus fuscipes Goeze, Tachyporus chrysomelinus, Amara familiaris Duftschmid and Nebria brevicollis were also shown to have fed on aphids. (5) For Bembidion lampros and Tachyporus spp. the percentage of animals containing food was higher for non-gravid females than for males or gravid females, whilst in Feronia melanaria and Agonum dorsale both gravid and non-gravid females gave a higher percentage than males. It is suggested that the efficiency of these species as potential agents of natural control could be influenced by the sex ratio and their time of breeding in relation to the timing of critical periods in the cycle of pest abundance.

Our Story So Far
So, that's what we have to say about THAT product. Now, let's talk recap. As you likely recall from last time, we now celebrate Woot Offs with a look at our ongoing storyline. First, though, we'll make a special shout-out to Mouseka's thread full of theories and conjectures. Join in if you wanna...
This month's been unusually exciting. Sylvia started us off by acting strange and Leslie was even more determined to prove her neighbor was a robot perhaps for a very good reason. Rod prepared to move and the stake-out detectives had a little argument about being taken for granted.
Nestoras was the first to find Sylvia had vanished without a trace but it was Sylvia's twin sister who figured out what had happened, and found Sylvia hiding out with Rod. What scandal is so big that Sylvia could only turn to her ex-husband? What scandal would attract Mike, the hairless yet well rounded detective?
Phil inner voice is urging him to reconsidering his life, while his young friends at college are learning how hard it can be to get along with each other. And lately there's been plenty on the TV. Now you're pretty much up to speed! Consider this your invitation to the stories yet to come.

| Samsung demos Smart Scroll, Smart Pause and Air Gesture on Galaxy S 4 Along with several other new software features demoed at its event in New York today, Samsung showed off a Smart Scroll utility, which lets you page up or down by tilting the Galaxy S 4 in the corresponding direction. The company also demoed Air Gesture, which similarly lets you scroll without putting your fingers to the glass. Finally, a feature called Smart Pause will detect your eye movements to intelligently stop video when your gaze turns away from the screen. With dramatics fitting of the Radio City Music Hall venue, Sammy gave us a quick look at all these features in action: at a bachelorette party, where Air Gesture lets partiers look at messages without putting down those champagne flutes; on the street, where a woman can check out that guitarist on the corner without missing a second of the latest Engadget Show and -- well, Smart Scroll is straightforward enough to speak for itself. Read more about the Galaxy S 4's software and hardware in our hands-on preview. http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/s...l-air-gesture/ |

I don't know what im doing wrong. I'm using Dharma 3.0 for Windows 7.
From the main menu I go to :
System>Addon>Enable Addon>Skin
Then I enable the skin I already have downloaded.
The main skin Confluence, won't disable.
So both skins are enabled, Confluence, and the one I'm trying.
I've downloaded every skin from the Addon page, and none of them will over-ride Confluence. Can anyone point me in the right direction
dharma 3.0 Skin won't change

Universities in Bangladesh
Universities in Bangladesh represent about 75 academic bodies out of a total of about 105 institutions of the conventional higher education institution (HEI) in Bangladesh. Segmented by management and financial structure, these include 34 public universities, 56 private universities, 2 international universities, 31 specialized colleges, and 2 special universities. There are specialized universities in both categories offering courses principally in technological studies, medical studies, business studies and Islamic studies. There are two private universities dedicated solely to female students. The number of universities is growing mostly in and around the capital city of Dhaka.
There are about 1688[1] colleges organized under the umbrella of Bangladesh National University — one of the largest in the world. The Open University offers distance learning courses. There is a parallel religious high-ed education system.
The University Grants Commission of Bangladesh (UGC) is the regulatory body of all the public (government funded) and private universities of Bangladesh. The Private University Act of 1992 paved the way for vigorous sprouting of private universities. 80% of its universities are in their infancy. There is a severed shortage in higher education capacity. The country is yet to have any research and education network (REN) or digital library consortium (DLC).
Public universities[edit]
Bangladesh has 35 public universities instructing the bulk of higher studies students. They that are funded by the government and managed as self-governed government institutions.
Criticism and controversy[edit]
There has been much criticism and controversial issues around public universities in Bangladesh. Public universities had become places of political unrest and agitation.[2] 12 of the public universities were reported to employ 1,994 unauthorized faculty and staff, resulting an annual overspend of 159,467,000 Bangladeshi taka borne by the government.[3] All were warned by the UGC and apparently failed to respond to the warning.[3] Student unrest has resulted in session jams and delays in holding examinations.[2] During the presidency of Hossain Mohammad Ershad (1982-90) seven to eight years were being required to complete four-year courses.[2]
Private universities[edit]
Private universities in Bangladesh came into being after institution of the Private University Act of 1992.[4] As of 2008, over 55 of them had started. These universities follow an open credit system.[citation needed]
Criticism and controversy[edit]
There has been much controversy around the private universities and their practices. 11 universities went operational without a UGC approval which was made a necessity under the Private University Act (1992).[5] 27 private universities were found running without a vice-chancellor.[6] 10 universities were issued a deadline of one year from the UGC to improve qualities.[7] Eight universities the UGC of Bangladesh recommended for shutting down due to poor quality of academic standards.[8] Some were served with show-cause notice by judicial authorities asking why it would not be closed down.[9] Some of these universities introduced new academic courses without UGC approval with other private universities.[10] Others were found to deliver instructions in unauthorized courses and have illegal campuses.[11]

Astronomers have detected indirect evidence for a spectacular supernova explosion in the Larger Magellanic Cloud long ago. The puzzle is that they're picking up the echoes, but we have no records of anyone seeing the direct event 400 years ago, when it should have become visible. The astronomers seem pretty sure that it would have been hard to miss.
I find this interesting because it raises that little point of "negative evidence." We hear often enough that "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence," but that's just not true. It depends on how hard it is to explain the absence. If I insist there's a pink elephant in the room, and you don't see it, you're likely to find negative evidence pretty darned convincing. You might even decide it's more reasonable to speculate upon the reliability of my neural functioning rather than try to explain invisible elephants in exotic colors.
How plausible is it that, in 1600, an eye-popping supernova could appear in the Southern Hemisphere and no navigators' accounts made it into the records that we have? I should think it's surprising enough that I would want to redo some calculations, just to be sure that I really do have such a mystery on my hands.

Negative evidence

The Dutch had colonized Indonesia by the early 1600s, and I'm sure they would have noted and recorded such an event. Certainly any of the ship captains of the Dutch East India company would have, I'd think. The question is, where would you figure out who was there at the time, and where would you find their ships logs?

You'd be limited to what records happen to have survived, but I should think the DEI Co. has a lot still extant. I would expect a notable astronomic event to be reported widely and references could show up in a number of sources - reports, letters, memoirs. It's also entirely possible that references do exist and have never been recognized or received attention.

"It's also entirely possible that references do exist and have never been recognized or received attention."
That's what I was thinking. According to Patrick O-Brian, author of the great naval novel series, Master and Commander, English naval captains, at least, wrote very cryptic and unexpressive logs. So the evidence might be there, but recognizable for it's significance only if you know what you're looking for. Even a very bland entry, if it's on the right date, would then become meaningful.l - March 25, 2008 at 7:32 AM

This weekend I discovered a new love for yellow cake. Yep, you heard me right. Up until this weekend I had never tried yellow cake…now that I have, I don't think I can turn back. At the Wilton Sweet Up event, we got to tour the amazing test kitchen where they told us what kind of cake mix they use. So while I was at the store this weekend, I picked up a box of Duncan Hines yellow cake mix and made these yummy cupcakes.
These cupcakes are moist and surprisingly light, unlike most cupcakes which are dense and contain too much flour. I'm not kidding when I say that these cupcakes will melt in your mouth. When I tasted the light and airy cupcakes, I knew that I wanted a frosting with a similar profile. This whipped chocolate frosting is the perfect match and the almond extract compliments the chocolate perfectly!
Do you prefer white, yellow, or chocolate cake?
What kind of frosting is your favorite?
- 1 box Duncan Hines Yellow cake mix
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 2-3 c. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- Mix cake mix according to directions on the box, adding almond extract. Bake cupcakes for 18-21 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Melt bittersweet chocolate in a double broiler. Once melted, allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat butter until soft and fluffy about 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, then blend in almond extract.
- Slowly add cooled chocolate and beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes or until desired consistency.
- To make cupcake roses, add a Wilton 1M tip to a decorating bag and fill with frosting. Start in the middle of your cupcake and pipe outwards.

text: Book 41 made me cry so hard. It's not surprising because the subject matter is one conducive to tearing up of the reader. I do appreciate the author's ability to build up momentum, detail the events by piecing together so many different voices and perspectives and still keep a coherent and clear narrative. The comprehensive research, meticulous compilation of facts, the fresh approach, and effective telling of a much documented event make this book stand out to me.

It was a minor incident at a school in one of Washington's most violent and drug-infested corners, where even entering the building means passing through a metal detector and submitting to a full body-search. But for Mrs Paramore it was telling: she had been able to talk through the girl's problems with the rest of her class, because there were no boys in it.
Johnson Junior High is at the leading edge of an accelerating movement in America's state-funded schools: re-erecting the walls between male and female pupils. Along with another growing trend - reintroducing uniforms - it is being hailed by some as a new wonder-weapon in the fight against collapsing school standards and uncontrollable teenage behaviour.
Both sexes do better, they argue. Girls can begin to raise their hands again without fear of ridicule from boys, while the boys are liberated from the pressure of always having to show off.
"It is spreading like wildfire," said David Sadker, an education professor at the American University in Washington. "I can't even estimate how many states it's in, but I would not be surprised if it was a majority."
Some schools are segregating girls from boys only in certain subjects, such as maths and science, but others, including Johnson, are keeping them apart throughout the school day, even in the cafeteria. California, meanwhile, is proposing funds for new single-sex academies.
While keeping boys and girls apart is generating fierce controversy, efforts to put them back in uniform are not.
President Clinton himself urged their return in his State of the Union speech last month. Alluding to two recent cases in which pupils were killed over items of clothing coveted by others, he said uniforms should be supported, if only so that "teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jeans".
Discouraging murder aside, many teachers hope that bringing back uniforms will re-instil a sense of discipline and order in the students, especially in low-income areas where there is little order in their homes. Most parents seem to like the idea too: investing in uniforms is usually cheaper than satisfying their children's requests for the latest fashion items.
"It helps build school spirit," explained Nancy Beazer, principal of Public School 133 in Harlem, New York. "The young ladies behave differently when they wear a skirt. And the boys, somehow when they wear their ties and shirt instead of polo shirts, they don't behave as roughly."
Though Mrs Paramore will also be introducing uniforms from next September - designed by the children themselves, with strong African themes - it is the abandonment of co-ed classes that matters most to her.
She began two years ago by putting the boys and girls in separate "home rooms" at the start of each day, just to discuss with teachers whatever was on their minds. "They could talk about things that went on at their homes, who had been murdered yesterday or who had taken an overdose in the neighbourhood," she recalled.
Since extending the segregation through the whole of the school day, the results have been impressive, she says. Marks are improving, as are school attendance and morale among her teachers. Pregnancy rates among the girls, who are between 11 and 17, have also started to fall.
There are also far fewer cases of girl students being physically attacked by boys. "They pull the girls' braids out from the roots if they can," she says.
"With everything else that is going on their lives, with the violence and the drugs, at least we can eliminate one distraction, of the boys and the girls fooling around with each other, and then they can put their minds to education," Mrs Paramore says. "If it is something that is working, and the kids are learning to be ladies and gentlemen, why should we put a stop to it?"
One reason might be a 1972 Act of Congress which forbids any discrimination between the sexes at publicly funded schools. It was cited when the state of New Jersey recently ordered the Myrtle Avenue Middle School, on the impoverished edge of Newark, to abandon its one-year exercise in complete separation of boys and girls. Several women's organisations are speaking out against the trend, as are some education specialists, such as David Sadker.
Though he is not opposed to limited experimentation with single-sex schooling, Professor Sadker is opposed to a long-term, wholesale approach. He says there is a risk that scarce resources would start to be channelled disproportionately to one gender - the boys - and he worries about jettisoning the idea that children at school should also learn about interaction between the sexes.
"It is as if we're giving up on the whole notion of co-ed classes, and what are the implications of that in the long term?"
But the principal of Myrtle Avenue, Anthony Pilone, is infuriated by his state's attitude. He saw improvements across the board when the boys and girls were set apart. "It was probably the only thing I have ever done as a principal that had the full support of the staff, the parents, the students and the administration. It just went so well," he says. "If you don't have some structure in school and an environment you can teach in, you have nothing. But now we are back to where we were, with all the `he-said-she-said' antics and the fooling around in classes."
Mrs Paramore is the only headteacher in Washington so far to have taken the single-sex route, and she has no intention of abandoning it. "Rich parents," she says, "pay $20,000 [pounds 13,300] to put their kids in private single-sex schools, and they are paying that money because it works. I don't see that I'm doing anything wrong in doing the same thing in a public school."

DD thanks for the help, you to Nolan! So let me get this right. I will set my engine at 0 degrees off the intake manifold. (I will actually rest the angle finder on the carb...any problems with that?) To place the engine front to back I will "mount" it with the front motor mounts, mark the new engine cross member on the frame, then move the new engine cross member 1" forward to allow for bigger distributer later. After I drill and bolt the new engine cross member to the frame I'll double check the engine angle and place the new transmission crossmember (bolted to the tranny.) I will shim as required to make sure the engine sits at 0 degrees then I will drill the frame for the new tranny crossmember. Once this is done and both crossmembers are in and the engine sits level I will weld the engine crossmember together where the crossmember tube slides into the frame mounting brackets that are bolted to the frame.
Ok does this sound right....let me know guys. Thanks again. |
Yea sounds like that is the way I will do it. I have the same booster as you. How did you raise the engine 2". I know I can bolt the crossmember high, but I am not sure I could get 2".
I need to see about some headers also for my sbc 350. I would like to have full length headers. |
Gator I just raised the engine crossmember as high in the frame as it would go.The reason I ended up with 2 inches has to do with the trans not the engine.I bolted a 700R4 to a 350 crossmember.That spacer is 2 inch thick wall square tubing.one side is drilled to match the trans with large holes drilled opposite them for access with a socket.The other side is drilled to match the crossmember.I just dropped those bolts through the holes and used grade 8 bolts with self locking nuts.Yours will be a little different and I don't remember what trans you plan to run.I will have to do mine all over again now that I am upgrading to a 4L80E which is a much bigger transmission so I will have to move the cross members again.I recommend you drill and bolt the feet to your crossmember instead of welding it because you wont be able to remove the crossmember ever again without cutting it in half(remember taking out the stock crossmember).Always leave yourself options.I never dreamed I would be on my 3rd different(T5,700R4,4l80E)transmission in 5 years. You never know when that camaro with all the parts you want is going to be for sale.Just ask Roadkill58.When I picked up my brand new never installed in anything 4L80E with 1800 stall 6 pad torque converter from expert transmission for $2000 I wasn't activly looking for one.I was just there to have my custom 700R4 rebuilt I still have a 871 blower and fuel injection on my mind you just never know
I still have a 871 blower and fuel injection on my mind you just never know. DD, Injection would be a good thing for your truck. It would eliminate your mountainous tuning issues. It would depending on the type of fuel injection you add. Being blown is always a good thing. |
Hey Jmigatr --duh !
DUH OH O, I didn't think about the carb base not being parallel to the crank. This is not a valid place to measure from. You better follow DoubleD's instructions, he knows. Question for DD, DD where did your pinion angle fall at when you replaced your rearend? I went out and rechecked mine after I read your post. My LT1 intake is parallel to the crank so my down angle is ok. But my rear is the same angle (about 3 degrees up) so I'm either gonna have to shim the rear a bit to account for spring wrap up or go with the solid traction bar to prevent it. I'm also thinkin I might be better off replacing the springs first(I'm going lower in front) because everything is gonna change. What is your opinion on my setup? I know you have smoked the tires off of yours, broke stuff, then got it to hook good. I believe I'd like to duplicate your setup as it sits. Nolan
I have this weekend ready to install the engine and tranny...so hopefully I can start later today, by sneaking away from work early.....but wait there is a big car show here Saturday...might have to go. |
I spent the weekend in the mountains and am all rested up.OLNOLAN as long as your angle on the rear end is the same or close to the trans angle you will be fine.The spring wrap is only an issue if it ends in wheel hop.Because a u joint has an elliptical path if the angles are not exact opposites you will have a slight harmonic vibration when cruising.4x4 trucks that have been lifted usually do not have the same angle off the rear as the trans does and as long as the u joint does not bind it will work fine.When I installed my rearend I had never done one before and I had no angle gauge so I just pointed the pinion at the transmission.My rearend actually is up too high so I am 2 degrees the other way on my drive shaft angle .The only issue I have is a harmonic vibration at high speeds(70 or above).This proves that even with allot of spring wrap you wont have any real problems with your pinion angle.I have done several burn out contests and runs down the strip without any u joint problems.I will correct the angle when I change drive trains.If your go with a set of traction bars like mine you will need to make some heavy duty mounts as the ones that come with the kit(I got mine from Brothers Trucks) cant handle big horse power.I included pictures of the ones I made feel free to copy them.I made one from cardboard first.It took several tries to come up with a design I liked.They are drag strip tested Gator how was the show and did you take any pictures?Roadkill58 in the November 2008 Hot Rod magazine they did an article called "EFI for any car" and "Edelbrock Pro-Flo XT".They put the Pro-Flo XT on a 71 Nova that did 12.65 on the track. It made 19 more hp and lost 5 ft-lb torque but boosted the mileage from 10.07 to 16.5 mpg.I would like to get one for my truck.I will check with Edelbrock to see if they have a higher hp big block set up.

Hey Doubledick
Glad you got good rest in mountains. How about posting a photo of the mountain views? I have been to Vegas for Nascar race, saw a few mountains,far west as I've been, we flew in for the race didn't have time to see much. I appreciate your feedback on driveline stuff. I didn't have any issues with the 350/stick shift before swapping in the LT1 and T56, actually didn't have wheel hop, but no traction on hole shots. I am being careful with setup cause stick shifts will break stuff. I'm eventually gonna do a posi unit like yours, right now I'm peg- leggin. I'm gonna need the traction bars then. I liked the re-engineered brackets on yours BUT at $280.00 from Brothers and having to remake the front mounts I think I'm gonna pass on those, maybe try a less expensive slapper bar or something. Man it's a drag when you gotta save up $ to get your hotrod together. Mine is movin slow. Put the blower on yours, I dare ya! I'm sitting on a 502, super duty block with all forged rotating assembly,
rectangle port heads and get this, it's only 8.5:1, what a blower motor it could be! I'm saving it for a special hotrod. If you are interested in how I bought it for a mere $1500, let me know. There's a way to get bulletproof big blocks like this cheap if you know what you're lookin for.Later,OLNOLAN |
Roadkill58 I did not get my controller yet.I have to get my shop up this summer.But I did do all the research and want the one from powertrainsolutions along with the paddle shifters.
Good news! They have the Pro-Flo XT for big blocks.
They have them for oval, and rectangular ports. I checked out Edelbrock's booth (more like big rig) at the Goodguys meet in Pleasanton today. Good turnout, autocross, swapmeet, tools. And lots of cool cars, and trucks. Good way to get motivated. Last edited by Roadkill58; 06-02-2009 at 06:16 PM. |
For standard deck and rectangular ports:
Pro-Flo XT as cast #3558 and Pro-Flo XT with black powder coated finnish #35583 Recommended intake gasket: #7202 They also have them for the LS1 engines as well. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...xt_chevy.shtml The ones for big blocks is at the bottom of the page. |
