Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University is, for the first time ever, extending
its application deadline for the upcoming Fall 2009 semester. The old deadline
of July 15th has been moved to August 10th. This one-time
adjustment was made by the admissions department in response to the demand from
applicants and their families for more time to decide.
This application deadline change applies to all divisions of
Multnomah University, including the Bible College, Biblical Seminary, and
non-seminary Graduate Programs. Adult Degree Completion classes are not
affected due to the rolling nature of cohort enrollments in the program.
Unique Demand, Unique
This application deadline change is in response to requests
from prospective students, their families, and admissions staff to allow a
longer grace period. Some of the reasons
given, range from loss of family income, to uncertainty about taking out loans,
to a need for more time to work out personal roadblocks.
Because Multnomah still has class seats available, and has
seen an unusually high number of last-minute applications, this is a mutually
beneficial adjustment in a year that has shown more extenuating circumstances for
students than usual. It is important to note that this change is an exception
for this year only - Multnomah intends to provide people every opportunity to interested
"Due to the current economic turmoil, employment
uncertainties, and additional financial aid offerings, many would-be students
have had to take more time to assess whether higher education is an affordable
option for them this year" Vice President of Enrollment Management Gina
Berquist said. "We simply want to extend the deadline to interested people to
allow them adequate time to assess their future, finances, and educational
goals during this unique time."
"Since we are a Christian university that teaches Bible, it
is only appropriate that we genuinely take up the concerns of our prospective
students and their families." Director of Admissions John Mayner said. "This
move will simply allow more grace for folks who may still be uncertain, undecided,
or concerned about college or seminary with all that is going on economically."
About Multnomah
Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private,
non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in
Portland, Oregon with learning sites in Reno, Nevada and Anchorage, Alaska.
Made up of an undergraduate Bible college, a biblical seminary, a graduate
school, an adult degree completion program, and an online distance-learning
program, Multnomah issues bachelor's and master's degrees, and professional
certifications and endorsements.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Now signed to one of the largest Christian labels in the country, Switchfoot temporarily tabled their plans to reach out to a broader audience. Their first two albums, The Legend of Chin and New Way to Be Human, were marketed almost exclusively toward Christian listeners, who took an immediate shine to the band's music. Keyboardist Jerome Fontamillas joined the band for 2000's Learning to Breathe, which found Switchfoot taking more steps toward a mainstream alt-rock sound. Breathe became a transitional record for the group, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album and selling over 500,000 copies, thus achieving gold status. Its success, coupled with the band's presence on the hit soundtrack to the 2002 film A Walk to Remember, set Switchfoot up for a healthy major-label run.
The Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot's debut album for Columbia Records, was issued during the spring of 2003. It represented the quartet's full evolution from a Christian group to a mainstream rock act, eventually earning double platinum sales and producing two Top 20 hits: "Dare You to Move" and "Meant to Live." Switchfoot returned in September 2005 with their fifth album, Nothing Is Sound, which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. Nothing Is Sound went gold, sparked another radio hit in "Stars," and was the first Switchfoot recording to include the work of additional guitarist Andrew Shirley (formerly a member of the contemporary Christian group All Together Separate), who'd been a touring member of Switchfoot since 2003. Wasting little time, the band returned to the studio with veteran U.K. producer Tim Palmer to begin work on its sixth album, one that found the guys broadening their musical scope. The resulting Oh! Gravity. appeared at the tail-end of 2006.
A year later, Jon Foreman announced the band's decision to leave Columbia and form its own label, lowercase people records. At the same time, Foreman began releasing a string of solo EPs, each of them named after a specific season. He also formed Fiction Family, a folk-pop side project, with Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins. Fiction Family's self-titled debut was released in January 2009. Also in 2009, Switchfoot released the studio album, Hello Hurricane. Produced by the band, along with Mike Elizondo, it won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album.
Several months after the band's Grammy win, Switchfoot returned with Vice Verses, an album that highlighted the band's rhythm section. The album performed well, hitting number eight on the Billboard 200 and reaching number one on Billboard's Christian Albums chart. It also earned the band a 2013 GMA Dove Award nomination in the category of Rock/Contemporary Song of the Year.
While on tour in 2013, Switchfoot made a film called Fading West, documenting the band's lifelong love of surfing. Their next album, also entitled Fading West, landed in January 2014. It saw the band freed from the typical constraints of the three-minute pop song, experimenting with unusual instruments and musical textures. Later that September, the group a issued a short EP of supplemental material from the project, Fading West: The Edge of the Earth - Unreleased Songs.
In 2016, Switchfoot delivered their tenth full-length album, Where the Light Shines Through. The album featured production from John Fields (The Beautiful Letdown, Nothing Is Sound, Oh! Gravity.) and included the singles "Live It Well" and "Float." ~ Jason Ankeny & Andrew Leahey

Why not a SD that is also a visiting TD?
First I would like to be clear on what the Legal Definition of a Service Animal is and what the Definition of a Therapy dog is.
Right from the Department of Justice website, please pay close attention to the areas I highlighted in red.
U.S. Department of Justice
Civil Rights Division
Disability Rights Section
Service Animals
The Department of Justice published revised final regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for title II (State and local government services) and title III (public accommodations and commercial facilities) on September 15, 2010, in the Federal Register. These requirements, or rules, clarify and refine issues that have arisen over the past 20 years and contain new, and updated, requirements, including the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards).
This publication provides guidance on the term "service animal" and the service animal provisions in the Department's new regulations.
Beginning on March 15, 2011, only dogs are recognized as service animals under titles II and III of the ADA.
A service animal is a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability.
Generally, title II and title III entities must permit service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas where members of the public are allowed to go.
How "Service Animal" Is Defined
Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of "assistance animal" under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of "service animal" under the Air Carrier Access Act.
Some State and local laws also define service animal more broadly than the ADA does. Information about such laws can be obtained from the State attorney general's office.
Where Service Animals Are Allowed
Under the ADA, State and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go. For example, in a hospital it would be inappropriate to exclude a service animal from areas such as patient rooms, clinics, cafeterias, or examination rooms. However, it may be appropriate to exclude a service animal from operating rooms or burn units where the animal's presence may compromise a sterile environment.
Service Animals Must Be Under Control
Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
Inquiries, Exclusions, Charges, and Other Specific Rules Related to Service Animals
When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Staff cannot ask about the person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task.
Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals. When a person who is allergic to dog dander and a person who uses a service animal must spend time in the same room or facility, for example, in a school classroom or at a homeless shelter, they both should be accommodated by assigning them, if possible, to different locations within the room or different rooms in the facility.
A person with a disability cannot be asked to remove his service animal from the premises unless: (1) the dog is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it or (2) the dog is not housebroken. When there is a legitimate reason to ask that a service animal be removed, staff must offer the person with the disability the opportunity to obtain goods or services without the animal's presence.
Establishments that sell or prepare food must allow service animals in public areas even if state or local health codes prohibit animals on the premises.
People with disabilities who use service animals cannot be isolated from other patrons, treated less favorably than other patrons, or charged fees that are not charged to other patrons without animals. In addition, if a business requires a deposit or fee to be paid by patrons with pets, it must waive the charge for service animals.
If a business such as a hotel normally charges guests for damage that they cause, a customer with a disability may also be charged for damage caused by himself or his service animal.
Staff are not required to provide care or food for a service animal.
Miniature Horses
In addition to the provisions about service dogs, the Department's revised ADA regulations have a new, separate provision about miniature horses that have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. (Miniature horses generally range in height from 24 inches to 34 inches measured to the shoulders and generally weigh between 70 and 100 pounds.) Entities covered by the ADA must modify their policies to permit miniature horses where reasonable. The regulations set out four assessment factors to assist entities in determining whether miniature horses can be accommodated in their facility. The assessment factors are (1) whether the miniature horse is housebroken; (2) whether the miniature horse is under the owner's control; (3) whether the facility can accommodate the miniature horse's type, size, and weight; and (4) whether the miniature horse's presence will not compromise legitimate safety requirements necessary for safe operation of the facility.

This is how a Therapy Dog is defined on numerous sites. Pay close attention to the areas I highlighted in red.
Right from the website of ILGHAUS:
"Q. If I have my dog made a therapy dog or a emotional support dog can it then live in a apartment that doesn't allow dogs?
A. Therapy Dogs are pet dogs that can be owned by either disabled or non-disabled owners.
Per Delta Society:
Therapy animals and their handlers are trained to provide specific human populations with appropriate contact with animals. They are usually the personal pets of the handlers and accompany their handlers to the sites they visit, but therapy animals may also reside at a facility. Animals must meet specific criteria for health, grooming and behavior. While managed by their handlers, their work is not handler-focused and instead provides benefits to others.
The owner/handler of a Therapy Dog does not have additional rights in Housing or Public Access over any other pet owner."
"Therapy Dogs are not Assistance or Service Dogs. Therapy Dogs are pet dogs with special training and of the proper temperament to work with their owner around and for other people."
I do not know if you are aware, but a mass majority of great Service Dog organizations also do not allow the dual role of Service/Therapy dog for good reason! It is DANGEROUS for the disabled handler to do this.
Can a great Professional trainer and handler train a dog to do both without compromising the Service Dog training or the well-being of the dog? Honestly, the answer is yes and no, it will cause unnecessary added stress on the dog and on the handler as associative behaviors that will create conflict in the dog need to be looked out for 24/7. Can the average service dog handler or owner trainer do it without risk? No, they lack the experience to recognize associative behaviors by doing this and it may put their lives at risk.
Service Dogs are for a disabled handler. They are not pets as defined by law nor should they be treated that way on any level by the public.
Therapy Dogs are as ILGHAUS even defined "Therapy Dogs are not Assistance or Service Dogs. Therapy Dogs are pet dogs with special training and of the proper temperament to work with their owner around and for other people."
ANY good working dog trainer will tell you how powerful association is when it comes to a dog and even more so when it comes to a working dog. Training itself is mostly based on associative behavior.
When this subject reared its ugly head again, I contacted every working dog trainer I know and a lot of other Service Dog Organizations and a lot of other PROFESSIONAL Service Dog trainers. I thought I was out of the loop as claims that this IS in fact acceptable as apparently (according to the majority of the owner trainer crowd) the "handler" in this regard weather the dog was trained by a professional or owner trained knows what's best for their dog. I passed this information on and got responses that ranged from hysterical laughs to "We won't certify our dog if they go that route." To "Yeah and I want my Service dog to be a Police dog too.. What? I can't do that? You are discriminating! lol." To "They just will not get it till something happens and they come back with a messed up dog." "Don't these people know how many dogs get messed up when they break SD training and they get treated as a pet?" Please forgive me, as I am not knocking all owner trainers. There are a lot of owner trainers that are responsible with their Service Dog and use them for the tasks they were intended for without creating conflict in the dog just to satisfy motivation driven purely by emotion vs. real professional working dog training guidance. Service Dogs are Service Dogs; Therapy Dogs are Therapy Dogs they were never meant to function in a duel role capacity both from a working dog training standpoint to a legal definition of both.
From Pet Partners website formerly Delta Society:
"Are Pet Partners Therapy Animals certified or registered?
Pet Partner Therapy Animal teams are registered, not certified. Certification implies that Pet Partners has participated in the handler's and the animal's training. Whereas registration requires training and screening, Pet Partners does not certify that the team is trained to a certain level. Instead, the team is registered as having met minimum requirements
Furthermore, Pet Partners' commercial general liability insurance will be primary, i.e. it will provide coverage first. However, several notable exclusions exist. They are:
•Pet Partners' commercial general liability insurance does not provide coverage for either member of a Therapy Animal team causing a loss to other Pet Partners volunteers. Such losses are the personal responsibility of the Therapy Animal handler."
In other words, we don't know what we are doing for sure so if something happens to the training of your Service Dog or you in connection with the therapy work we are not responsible.
If you want your Service Dog to be a pet and participate in visiting Therapy Dog work, do yourself and your dog a favor. Retire the dog as a Service Dog and go for it. If visiting Therapy work means that much to you and it means more to you than the gift of having a Service Dog… so be it. Or you can Register your dog with someone other than TDI and take your chances.
Ursula A. Kempe, President of TDI has over 40 years of working dog training experience. This decision does not come from delusions or from political pressure nor will she fold under political pressure.
"Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being ahead of your time. If you're right and you know it, speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth." -Gandhi

What exactly are you asking?
michelle I don't think he's asking anything, he's explaining why service dogs should not be therapy dogs is my gist:)
Service Dog from that thread
In a previous post on this forum the question of what is wrong with an active Service Dog Teamed with a disabled partner to also simultaneously function as a visiting therapy dog for other people.
This post explains in as much detail as possible the contradiction, conflict and dangers of doing so on multiple levels. I stated in a previous post that I would start a new thread on this subject as I was not the OP on the thread this discussion started and it was a little off topic. This post details why it is not acceptable and why and it is far from being nothing wrong with it, both from a legal definition standpoint and a working dog training standpoint.
1. It is a dangerous combination.
2. It contradicts legal terms as a working Service Dog is NEVER a pet unless it is retired. Does it have down time? Yes, with the handler playing ball ect.. Not working for others as a pet. The focus of the dog should always be on the handler the dog was intended for. This is a dog for the disabled person it was teamed with, not for the enjoyment of the public. This is one of the reasons WHY they have public access and Therapy Dogs do not.
While I feel that the ongoing performance of a service dog is both the responsibility of the handler and the facility/trainer and even the sanctioning organization (if the school is sanctioned) it is clear with a good majority of Service Dog organizations that a duel role of Service Dog and Therapy Dog is not allowed with their dogs. I for one agree and it IS with good reason. It is dangerous for the disabled handler and can definitely compromise the training of the Service Dog. Numerous reports of dogs compromised by this duel exist in the industry. Not because of lack of training, in this case I agree 100% handler error and failing to comply with the guidelines of professional trainers and organizations on this subject.
The attorney for the city informed us she could choose any breed for her therapy dog, and this dog was not exempt (by virtue of being a "therapy dog") from the pit bull ban. She had to move the dog out of town, and/or move herself.
By the definitions above, what she was saying isn't even legally legitimate, right? You can have a therapy dog that sees other people and comforts them, but not one for yourself, to make yourself feel better?
The reason I ask this is many folks I've come across will tell me "this is my therapy dog, I feel better when I pet it" or some such, and use that as justification to bring their dogs in stores, on airplanes, basically, any place dogs are normally not allowed.
The same with apartments, many people will try to claim their dog gives them therapy and therefore, even if dogs are banned at said apartment, they believe they can get a doctor's note to keep the dog?
I agree - when a Service Dog with with their handler (the person that NEEDS the service the dog does) - they should be 100% focused on that person.
BUT ... If I have a Service Dog (let's say I'm blind) and my HUSBAND wants to take him to do therapy work - there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Just because a dog is a Service Dog that does not AUTOMATICALLY exclude them from being a Therapy Dog as well.
Everyone knows that a blind person and others with disability has a right to enter any public place with a Trained and Licensed Service dog...
Sadly we have many people who seem to stretch the law to say they need their dog
to enter because i need him for therapy..These people just want to enter and make up their own laws.
Emotional support dogs???? Why not have a emotional support cats, pigs?? haha..
It make me feel better to have my dog or cat, etc.. with me!!!!
Service dogs are highly trained to offer a service to their owner...The dog helps the owner perform tacks they cound not do without the dog. In many cases the owner could not live as full of a life without the help of this service dog.
The service dog does a lot more then just make the owner feel good!
It helps them live.

Rachel asks:
I went to delete a file the other day and it just deleted the file without asking! Do you know why it would do this?
Hi, Rachel! I had that happen to me once and I thought I had lost the file; I about had a heart attack.
Somehow your settings got changed (I never did find out how mine did). Here's how to get the right settings back:
First, right-click on your Recycle Bin and left-click on Properties.
Your Recycle Bin Properties box will pop up; it is multi-tabbed; each tab is for each hard drive you have in your computer. There is one tab that is all-inclusive, and that is the Global tab. Click on that.
If you look at the box, you will see Display delete confirmation dialog at the bottom with a box next to it; click on the box to put a check mark in it. Then click on Apply, and then click on OK.
And that's it! Next time you delete a file, you can make sure that you want to!
Thanks for writing!

OK, Woot... that's just a creepy photo. It looks like a bunch of phantom children lining up to take out the cute cheerleader who decided to go off by herself and take a shower in the creepy old house she and her friends broke into on a drunken dare. I wonder what's on TV?
I could use a good cover up for my daughter this summer, but I can't find anything that says how long this is (since it's just a disembodied hoodie floating around). I am looking for one that is long enough to cover more than her butt. Knee length would be good.

if your niece is average sized, not super tall or chubby a size 6x should be fine. if she is petite then go with a 6. my tiny 8 year old and super tall 6 year old share 6xs.

Jack Wilshere expects to be firing on all cylinders by Christmas.
The 20-year-old made his long-awaited comeback from injury against Queens Park Rangers in October and now has five first-team appearances under his belt as well as a smartly-taken goal against Montpellier.
Arsène Wenger has been encouraged by Wilshere's ability to "absorb games" since his 17-month lay-off and the midfielder believes he is edging towards his best form.
"I had never been injured, so how long it will take for me to come back is hard [to say], but I feel good," Wilshere told Arsenal Player.
"On Wednesday night [against Montpellier] we started the game off sloppily, and I was one of those who kept giving the ball away. That's tough when you come back and start badly in a game. But we've got great players here and they keep you going.
"Percentage-wise, I'm probably 80 to 85. I'm feeling better and better with every game and I think I heard the boss say at Christmas you'll see me back to my best. I think that's probably a reasonable timescale."
Wilshere has already faced Manchester United and Tottenham since returning to the first-team fold and he wouldn't have it any other way.
"It doesn't get any tougher than that - Man United away and then Tottenham at home - but they're the games that I want to be involved in," he said.
"That's the Premier League. You're not going to have an easy game in the Premier League, even if you play the so-called lesser teams. They're never easy. The Premier League is known for its intensity and that's the same throughout all the teams.
"The quality might get a bit better and the games might get a bit tougher and you get a few more nerves but the boss showed faith in me. I needed games under my belt and he gave me them, so I'm thankful for that."

Author: Alexandra Zutto
Based in Miass, Russia, Alexandra Zutto is a 27-year-old freelance illustrator. Her subtle, vector-based style walks the line between sinister and cute, which has made her work particularly suited to T-shirts and other garments. She is a featured designer at clickforart.com, and her work has been made into T-shirt designs by Threadless.
Many works that look complicated are really made from simple elements. In this tutorial, Russian artist Alexandra Zutto shows how to build up complex, beautiful images by patiently layering and building up small, straightforward segments, always varying them to prevent monotony.
For this piece, which Zutto created for the Blood Sweat Vector exhibition in Berlin, she says: "I tried to reproduce the tundra's atmosphere, with its pale sun and soft lighting. It required looking closely at a lot of references to understand how I can achieve these kinds of effects."
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build up many elements to create a vector image with real depth and richness. Zutto explains: "I spend most of the time picking out colours that match each other to form harmonic colour composition. It takes a lot of time, but it's worth the effort."

Wittenberg University's Blair Hall Becomes Clark County's First LEED Certified Building
Published June 30, 2011
Springfield, Ohio– A $5 million dollar construction project completed in August 2010 not only renovated Wittenberg University's historic Blair Hall into a state-of-the-art educational facility, but it was done in an environmentally conscious manner that resulted in the first LEED certification in Clark County.
University officials were recently notified that Blair Hall had attained Gold certification through LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, an internationally recognized green building certification system. Since 1998, more than 7,000 projects across 30 countries have been certified at one of four levels of certification: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
"We are thrilled to gain Gold LEED certification for Blair Hall," said University President Mark H. Erickson. "This achievement reflects the broad campus commitment to sustainability and responsible stewardship of our environment. Special thanks also to members of our Board of Directors for their support of this project, especially Lewis Shaw '64, who advocated for the project to be as environmentally friendly as possible."
LEED promotes sustainable building through an accreditation system registered by the United States Green Building Council and evaluated on a point system covering seven environmental impact areas: sustainable site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation and design process, and regional priority credits. The system provides for third-party verification that a building was built or renovated using strategies intended to comply with these standards.
The end result isn't just good for the environment. It makes Wittenberg a safer and cleaner community, and it has a significant potential impact upon the university's budget. Estimated heating, ventilation and air conditioning savings total more than $6,500 per year, while total water use savings are estimated at $140 per year.
In addition, LEED certification for Blair Hall fulfills one of the pledges made in the university's commitment to sustainability that Erickson signed in 2010.
"A number of benefits are achieved by building and/or renovating to LEED certification standards," said Director of Physical Plant John Paulsen. "In addition to using resources more efficiently when compared to conventional projects built to building code standards, LEED certified buildings provide healthier work and living environments."

Nothing wrong with the gun, I recently purchased a P30S and the prior owner of the forum, JS has one as well.
Other then HK specific forums, HK is largely unrepresented on gun forums. For the most part the biggest "fault" of HK is that they are more costly than other polymer offerings and therefore less popular.

The V&A is one of the world's – let alone London's – most magnificent museums, its foundation stone laid on this site by Queen Victoria in her last official public engagement in 1899. It is a superb showcase for applied arts from around the world, appreciably calmer than its tearaway cousins on the other side of Exhibition Road. Some 150 grand galleries on seven floors contain countless pieces of furniture, ceramics, sculpture, paintings, posters, jewellery, metalwork, glass, textiles and dress, spanning several centuries. Items are grouped by theme, origin or age: for advice, tap the patient staff, who field a formidable combination of leaflets, floor plans, general knowledge and polite concern.
Highlights include the seven Raphael Cartoons painted in 1515 as tapestry designs for the Sistine Chapel; the finest collection of Italian Renaissance sculpture outside Italy; the Ardabil carpet, the world's oldest and arguably most splendid floor covering, in the Jameel Gallery of Islamic Art; and the Luck of Edenhall, a thirteenth-century glass beaker from Syria. The Fashion galleries run from eighteenth-century court dress right up to contemporary chiffon numbers; the Architecture gallery has videos, models, plans and descriptions of various styles; and the famous Photography collection holds over 500,000 images.
Over more than a decade, the V&A's on-going FuturePlan transformation has been a revelation. The completely refurbished Medieval & Renaissance Galleries are stunning, but there are many other eye-catching new or redisplayed exhibits: they were preceded by the restored mosaic floors and beautiful stained glass of the fourteenth- to seventeenth-century sculpture rooms, just off the central John Madejski Garden, and followed by the Furniture Galleries – an immediate hit on opening in late 2012. On a smaller scale, the Gilbert Collection of silver, gold and gemmed ornaments arrived from Somerset House; the Ceramics Galleries have been renovated and supplemented with an eye-catching bridge; there's lovely Buddhist sculpture in the Robert HN Ho Family Foundation Galleries; and the Theatre & Performance Galleries took over where Covent Garden's defunct Theatre Museum left off.
Newer additions include the museum's 'Rapid Response Collection' features examples of contemporary design and architecture, particularly those that represent important events and current affairs. The ambitious Europe 1600-1815 galleries, which cost £12.5m, will open in December 2015. A stunning 4m-long table fountain – painstakingly reconstructed from eighteenth-century fragments – is the centrepiece of seven new galleries, taking a chronological and thematic approach to European clothes, furnishings and other artefacts. The Toshiba Gallery of Japanese Art reopened in November 2015, exhibiting 550 works from the sixth century to the present day. Look out for the first ever Sony Walkman, a Hello Kitty rice cooker and an origami outfit by Issey Miyake. See a slideshow of highlights from the collection.

A superb museum. I especially like the pearl exhibition. But the free fashion room through the ages was also something not to be missed. A great all-rounder of a museum.
Gorgeous building in itself, always have very interesting exhibitions, great location near the restaurants and bars of South Kensington and right near South Kensington tube station and lots of buses.
Never thought I would own an album on the V&A record label
Having visited "So You Say You Want A Revolution ?" I just had to take some of it home with me
Absolutely superb
It's on till February 2017 and its a MUST
The V&A continues to inform and entertain.
Fantastic building! The courtyard is particularly stunning in the summer. I really enjoyed the Asian artifacts, some great unusual pieces. The place is huge so you will need at least a day! The temporary exhibitions tend to be interesting too although a little expensive and often very busy.
Absolutely one of London's top museums. I became a member after my first visit because I loved it so much (and also because the queues can be an absolute ballache...). There are always fantastic exhibitions on, showing some really great design history such as their current 'What is Luxury', 'Shoes: Pain and Pleasure' and the infamous Alexander McQueen exhibits.
Location is lovely, and there are plenty of delicious places to stop off at to get away from the tourists nearby. I recommend choosing a clear day as there is no covered area to queue outside (better still - become a member, it's so worth it!)
By far one of the best museums in London. The Victoria & Albert museum never fails to impress me. There's always a good run of different shows and expos. The best one to date has to be Savage Beauty by Alexander McQueen! Just breathtaking! I'm also a big fan of the V&A lates - a great chance to wonder around the museum with a beer in hand. The mosaic-ed cafe gets me every time, it's just so beautiful and the food is pretty damn good too! I also love how the coffee is served in William Morris inspired paper cups, to pretty to recycle!
I love the V&A - it is without doubt my favourite museum in London - the exhibitions are great and whilst it does lean towards fashion and jewellery it doesn't stop there and it most certainly doesn't limit male interest - my boyfriend is also a great fan. The Bowie exhibition of 2013 will go down as my all time favourite exhibition and I went to it several times. There is always something of interest on at the V&A and I recommend it to all.
This is a the Royal museum . This is free of cost ,even the cloak room is free of cost , allowing you to see the museum without worries. The museum captures good history of the Britain and the common wealth . It has some extra ordinary collection of jewellery exhibit ranging from 400 BC till today . It also had an exhibit around Fashion which was amazing . I also went to the Rink at Natural History Museum which is just next to it and open till Jan 5th . Awesome experience overall.
Friday Lates are brilliant with a varied program of events often including music and performance. Combine with dinner in the restaurant for a great evening out.
Without a doubt the best museum in London!! I absolutely love the range of exhibitions and the opportunities they give students as well as members of the public to get involved. Their workshops are invaluable to students and provide an insight into the work which goes into each exhibition display. I found the staff friendly and useful but most importantly they had something to interest anyone who attends. There is plenty to do for children and adults alike. A fantastic day out and very easy to get to!
By far my favourite museum in London - likely because design is such an all-encompassing term you can find exhibits on fashion, theatre, ironwork, jewellery, stone, books, and everything in between. It also has beautiful tea rooms and a lovely garden which make great lunch or break places. Fantastic atmosphere and so much to see - plan ahead if there is anything in particular you wish to see.
Great exhibitions on a very nice location. Nice to see is rom which presents fashion.
This is a must see location for all ages. Experience the visual delights and absorb the atmosphere that this place creates. Do it.......Do it NOW! (or at least wait till they open) ;-)
I love, love, love the V&A!! It houses an eclectic collection of interesting and beautiful objects from around the world. Faves are the Jewel room and the ballroom cafe. Also great stuff for kids to do.
I stopped in front of V&A casually while i was walking down Cromwell Road, there was a fashion exhibition. Now i'm a fan!
Great temporary and permanent exhibitions, especially those about fashion. Great late night events too.
Make this a must for young and old Spend all day or just a few hours hands on interactive modern presentation Food and easy access speak to the staff get an insiders quide Check out htere special events on there website This and then an afternoon touring the city stop and shop perfect
Beautiful displays, my favourite area was the jewlery display and also the garden outside was a lovely suprise and it was a nice area to have an impromptu lunch in the sun. There was a cafe that was selling delicious looking food and you could sit in beautiful rooms, but outside was also great, lots of families with young children having fun in the pond. A very nice place to visit alone or with children.
My favourite museum in London/the world!
I love this place, I always try and get down to see the special exhibitions. The timed entrances to these stagger the visitors attending so you get to see the items without being jostled about. I last saw the History of Couture here, I love the fashion displays, they are displayed as beautiful works of art. A beautiful venue, and a cup of tea and a cake in the courtyard is a most welcome treat too!
I hope i will be nice...

You could put a small radio out near the garden and leave it playing talk radio all night on low volume. I've heard that works.
a better question would be, "What do deer not eat?" They will eat tomato plants;
As my watermelons were about ready to harvest, something busted every one and ate the center. I blamed it on the deer. They will always eat my peas, but do not touch the butter beans. Steve

Matching Underwear?
More funny stories from work.
I was on call yesterday. In my practice, call days are pretty long. On a given call day, I might be responsible for making hospital rounds all morning (I may go to 3 or 4 different hospitals) and then work evening office hours as well. The evenings in the office are typically pretty busy and for some reason some of the sicker children seem to come at night. Usually not a lot of time for chatting with the patients or their parents.
The other night was a bit slower (maybe spring is finally here and all of those colds are going away!) and I was finishing up with a toddler who had been wheezing and was getting breathing treatments. While waiting for her treatment to finish, her mother and I started talking and somehow got to the subject of funny things our mothers had said to us. (I think because her own mother had told her that her daughter was wheezing because she hadnt been wearing a coat during the last cold snap. This is a myth).
At any rate, I remember my own mother telling me during those teen years to always wear matching undergarments in case I got into an accident. At the time it sounded a bit weird, but looking back now, it is kind of morose. I mean REALLY!!! But I sometimes laugh out loud thinking about those words of wisdom.
I saved the best line of this conversation for last. This young mother, with her really cute 20 month old daughter in her lap, looks up at me and says, I bet I tell this one to just make sure she has underwear on when she goes out, who cares about the color!
Talk about generations and the differences years can make! It continues to be all about perspective, right?
The rest of the call night was easy as well......so funny!

There's nothing that hard-core Unix and Linux users are more fanatical about than their text editor. Editors are the subject of adoration and worship, or of scorn and ridicule, depending upon whether the topic of discussion is your editor or someone else's.
vi has been the standard editor for close to 30 years. Popular on Unix and Linux, it has a growing following on Windows systems, too. Most experienced system administrators cite vi as their tool of choice. And since 1986, this book has been the guide for vi.
However, Unix systems are not what they were 30 years ago, and neither is this book. While retaining all the valuable features of previous editions, the 7th edition of Learning the vi and vim Editors has been expanded to include detailed information on vim, the leading vi clone. vim is the default version of vi on most Linux systems and on Mac OS X, and is available for many other operating systems too.
With this guide, you learn text editing basics and advanced tools for both editors, such as multi-window editing, how to write both interactive macros and scripts to extend the editor, and power tools for programmers -- all in the easy-to-follow style that has made this book a classic.
Learning the vi and vim Editors includes:

Arnold Robbins, an Atlanta native, is a professional programmer and technical author. He has been working with Unix systems since 1980, when he was introduced to a PDP-11 running a version of Sixth Edition Unix. His experience also includes multiple commercial Unix systems, from Sun, IBM, HP and DEC. He has been working with GNU/Linux systems since 1996. He likes his Macintosh laptop, but it has been commandeered by one of his daughters. Arnold has also been a heavy awk user since 1987, when he became involved with gawk, the GNU project's version of awk. As a member of the POSIX 1003.2 balloting group, he helped shape the POSIX standard for awk. He is currently the maintainer of gawk and its documentation. O'Reilly has been keeping him busy: He is author and/or coauthor of the bestselling titles: Unix In A Nutshell, Effective awk Programming, sed & awk, Classic Shell Scripting, and several pocket references.

Elbert is a professional software engineer and software architect recently finishing a 21-year career in the telcom industry. He wrote a full screen editor in assembler in 1983 as his first professional assignment, and has had special interest in editors since. He loves connecting Unix to anything and once wrote a stream editor program to automate JCL edits for mainframe monthly configurations by streaming mainframeJCL to a stream editor on an RJE connected Unix box. He loves tinkering with everything Unix and considers any environment incomplete without his suite of Unix work-alike tools and the latest version of vim. He is a Unix Shell specialist, writing entire applications with only the shell. His telcom honored him with their highest award for money-saving applications that he authored using a set of mainframe screen-scraping tools he wrote himself. They continue to use those applications today. He was also one of three founding team members that brought web 1.0 to the corporate consciousness in his telco position, and his team featured on the cover of CIO Magazine for their innovative and pioneering works.

The animal on the cover of Learning the vi and Vim Editors, Seventh Edition, is a tarsier, a nocturnal mammal related to the lemur. Its generic name, Tarsius, is derived from the animal's very long ankle bone, the tarsus. The tarsier is a native of the East Indies jungles from Sumatra to the Philippines and Sulawesi, where it lives in the trees, leaping from branch to branch with extreme agility and speed. A small animal, the tarsier's body is only 6 inches long, followed by a 10-inch tufted tail. It is covered in soft, brown or gray silky fur, and has a round face and huge eyes. Its arms and legs are long and slender, as are its digits, which are tipped with rounded, fleshy pads to improve its grip on trees. Tarsiers are active only at night, hiding during the day in tangles of vines or in the tops of tall trees. They subsist mainly on insects and, though very curious animals, tend to be loners. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover font is Adobe's ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka, the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed, and the code font is LucasFont's TheSansMonoCondensed.

I use VIM for a few years now but I never knew so much of VIM is actually functionality from VI. It's a real good overview of the the magic.The only downside is the short chapter about vimscript, but I think this could fill a book of it's own.
Make Yourself a Text Editing Machine
By Cody Rioux
from Canada
About Me Developer
If you want a great text editor then this book is all you need to buy. You'll be very proficient with a highly configurable cross platform editor that enables you to edit text as fast as possible.It starts out with a simple introduction to vi, so even if you've never touched vim before this book will get you started. The book follows a logical order of topics that let you start incorporating things you learn into your text editing right away if you're already using vim.The topics then build on each other, covering simple edits, movements (which can be combined with edits), and then more advanced editing, buffers, etc...The second section then focuses on vim and the enhancements it has brought to the table. It covers topics like multiple windows, vim scripts, enhancements for programmers, etc...There are a ton of practical examples in the book with great explanations, I found myself with a much greater understanding of everything vim when I was done this book. Basically every chapter of this book will add value to your text editing skills. I highly recommend this to anyone using vim, and I highly recommend vim to anyone editing text. I've still got a lot to learn but I'm very happy with the way I edit text after reading this book, and I reread it from time to time!

This book has also taught me a few more things such as windows that resize on mouse focus.I had a few problems getting window-auto-resize working on mouse focus due to all of the needed settings not being mentioned in one spot to enable this feature. But once it was working, I then realized it'd be best to just use tabbed windows.Another issue I found, more so with VIM itself instead of the book, there's no standardized vimrc file or standardized sections per feature out there. Similar with color schemes. It'd really be nice to have a .vimrc file with common settings. Also, it'd be nice to have a color scheme with a black background within the main VIM package! Instead, the desert color scheme is packaged separately within a mangle of other color schemes. However, it's nice to have all the settings we do have in VIM. We're just stuck trying to compose our own working vimrc.Back to the book, this book does do a good job of describing the features you'll use when using VIM, and then maybe a few more!It also describes a brief history of VIM, along with several of it's clones. This helps you understand why, which in turn makes learning easier.A very informative book, even if you've used VIM for a long time!Oh, and one more thing, it would have been nice to see a Cheat Sheet for the keyboard with this book. There is already an Appendix with an abbreviated setting definition, spanning several pages though. I don't know if this is even doable, or how useful this would be as we tend to just memorize the required feature keys. For customized keys, I just used a labeler and labeled my customized function keys and two or three other keys I customized for leader and insert mode.

How To Really Learn Vim
By Dave
from Seattle
I use TextMate for writing code and for most text editing while I'm on the Mac (although I'm editing this review with MacVim version 7.3, otherwise I'd feel dirty). Everywhere else I use vi and Vim (Windows/Linux/OpenBSD/etc.) I spent years using Emacs and gradually made the shift to Vim a few years ago. I found Vim to be lighter weight and easier to configure than Emacs. Anyway, if you're tackling an uber-editor like Vim, you need a really great book. For Vim, that book is "Learning the vi and Vim Editors".The book initially introduces you to vi and ex, giving you the most basic commands. Pay attention to these first few chapters as it lays the foundation for the rest of the book. You'll move on to learn about global replacement and the power of regular expressions in the context of text replace commands. A short chapter is devoted to advanced editing features and takes you through basic vi customizations, how to execute Unix commands, how to filter text within vi through Unix commands, abbreviations to simplify repetitious typing, mapping keys to simplify repetitious keystrokes, and some basic ex scripting.A very brief chapter introduces you to the major vi clones. Then, a really beefy section spanning chapters 9 through 15, covering 159 pages, takes you through Vim in great detail. All the major differences between vi and Vim are discussed. You'll learn about multi-window editing, the specifics of Vim scripting, GVim (the GUI version of Vim), and Vim enhancements related to software developers.Following the Vim section of the book, there are small chapters that describe each of the other major vi clones, including nvi, elvis and vile. Near the end of the book, you'll find the appendixes crammed full of vi and ex commands. Additionally, there is a brief section on setttings for vi, nvi, elvis, Vim and vile. As if that's not enough, the final appendix throws in some comic strips for a little vi humor [@].I was actually surprised to find a lack on information on both registers and macros. Vim has support for these two extremely useful features, yet the book does not go into detail. Of course, the book does cover the help system, and if there is anything you want to know about Vim, you'll find it well documented in the help system. Learning to use the help system is a key to learning the editor and becoming more proficient by being able to take advantage of its features.If you've never worked with a truly powerful text editor, prepare to be enlightened. Spend the time necessary to really learn your editor (whatever it may be) and it will pay a huge dividend in return. If you choose to take on the power of vi or Vim (or any other vi-like editor), equip yourself with this book to help guide you through the learning curve.

Great book, but only available as a pdf!
By PhatRick
from Sid er knee Australia
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
Typical high quality O'Reilly book, excellent Vim reference to add to your technical library. But it is only available in pdf format!My technical library now almost exclusively resides on a very popular model ebook, and even though it supports pdf, the mobi rendering is infinitely superior. Almost all of the other 25-30 ebooks I purchased from O'Reilly are available in the standard range of formats, including mobi and epub, but this one and a few others are only available in pdf? My Safari subscription tokens are similarly limited to the ebooks exclusively in pdf format?When are we likely to have this great Vim reference in those other very useful formats.

Straightforward and well-written
By bijanbwb

About Me Designer, Developer
As with any program, there are always too many ways to do the same thing. Learning vi is not an easy experience, and learning to use it well is an entirely different matter.This book does a great job of outlining how to get things done in vi, and how to get things done in the most efficient way possible.It's readable enough to work your way through it in a logical sequence, and also serves as a great reference.

Glad to Finally Learn Vim
By Anita Kuno
from Undisclosed
I'm new. I'm new to vi and new to development. My first experience with vi was terrifying. I was configuring a server file with the assistance of a friend over IRC and was dropped into vi and have felt better in a car doing 360s on the highway in bad weather. After completing the server configuration, I resolved to learn Vim. I am grateful to Arnold Robbins, Elbert Hannah & Linda Lamb for producing such an accessible work. Since it is a reference book, "Learning the vi and Vim Editors, 7th Edition" has a broad spectrum of information. The portions for beginners are clear, straightforward and accessible.I found the sheer volume of commands overwhelming for a straight readthrough of the book. I did try to take in as much as I could but then found that I was unable to retain what I had read. So I choose a different approach and decided to take my time. The book sits at my elbow and as I work I use the index or appendix to locate the section or command that I require. The simple ones are becoming easier and I take time to investigate new sections when I have the inclination.My intent is not to do battle in the editor wars. There are much more worthy competitors than I. My goal was and is to understand the structure of the editor and work with the different modes that place vi in a category that is different from many editors such as gEdit. I don't know all the commands available in Vim, but I know that commands are possible. I haven't memorized all the different ways of inserting, substituting, and adding text, but I know there are options. Two of my early favourite commands are :e! (which takes you back to the last saved version of the file) and 'u', in command mode (which is the vi form of 'undo').There is a spell check feature available with Vim version 7 and I look forward to reading more about this feature and its commands in the Eighth Edition of this book because unfortunately it is not covered in this volume. Also, I noticed at a friend's behest, there is no section discussing dvorak keyboards interfacing with vi. I am a querty myself but I am told that vi commands behave oddly when directed from dvorak and perhaps this is worthy of study in subsequent editions.There are sections I haven't read yet and I might never read, the portions on nvi and Elvis haven't seemed applicable to me, so I may just pass on them. The book is valuable as a source for my level, which I would say is an experienced beginner. While there will be enhancements to new versions of vi and Vim, the basic commands will remain the same. Since vi is available with all versions of *nix, I am confident that what I am learning is universally useful and that is worth my effort.

This will make you a power user
By Tom
Learning the vi and Vim Editors, Seventh edition, July 2008, by Arnold Robbins, Elbert Hannah and Linda Lamb is both a tutorial for beginners and a reference for experienced users. vi and several of its clones are covered in this edition: nvi, elvis, Vim, and vile. Chapters 9 through 15 cover Vim. Chapters 16, 17 and 18 cover nvi, elvis and vile, respectively. Including the index and appendices the book is 470 pages.The authors recommend that the reader know how to:' Enter Unix commands' Change directories' List files in a directory' Create, copy and remove files' Be familiar with grep and wildcard charactersThe Safari online edition of the book is free for the first 45 days and a useful companion to the hard copy. I prefer the outline numbering style of separating paragraphs and subparagraphs in the online book to the non-numbered style used in the hard copy.Explanations and examples are built upon a file called practice that is modified using the commands being explained. Most chapters end with a summary of the salient points including effective tabular presentations where applicable.I would like to see more information about Vim interfaces for Python and Ruby as referenced in Chapter 12.The writing style is pleasant and relaxed thus keeping the reader's interest while navigating examples of the many steps and options available in this powerful editor. The index is 24 pages, very good for a book of 446 pages and compares very favorably with other recently used texts. However the book binding and paper quality could be better. I have another recently purchased O'Reilly book that has not withstood frequent use as well as books from other publishers.Regardless of the above criticisms this is an excellent guide for the person willing to put forth the effort to become a power user of vi and its clones.

Cavities are decayed areas of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. The three types of cavities are shown here. Smooth surface cavities occur on the smooth sides of your teeth, while root cavities develop on the surface over the roots. Pit and fissure cavities occur on the chewing surface of your teeth. Not cleaning your teeth well, frequent snacking and sipping sugary drinks are the main culprits behind cavities.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of Spotify over iTunes, however, is removing the need to sync. Music can be added, removed and streamed to your iPhone without any use of the desktop client whatsoever. Instead all changes are recorded to your profile online so you can login anywhere on any Spotify mobile app or desktop client and everything is there. Yet while syncing is not required, it is there.
The desktop client automatically syncs wirelessly with any iPhone when its Spotify app is open and they are connected to the same WiFi network. Playlists can be added and removed, tracks set to cache and these changes are reflected within seconds in the iPhone app. It all makes iTunes feel positively archaic.
The Downsides
So this is an all singing, all dancing endorsement of the Cloud? Not entirely. The trial highlights a number of glaring faults in both Spotify's desktop and mobile implementations.
The most obvious of this is the company's obsession with playlists. While the fluidity of playlists is beneficial, many still like to listen by album and to do this means creating a playlist and manually dragging in the songs from that particular album. Because there are no sub-divisions of artist, album or track you quickly build huge numbers of playlists and it becomes unwieldy. Spotify's library may be immense, but it provides a poor solution for managing your selections from it.
This is made worse by the fact playlists have to be manually ordered on the desktop app. There is no option to alphabetise and the mobile app cannot order at all. How useful is a sync free existence if it results in a playlist collection that is so unwieldy nothing can be found? Alphabetising and sorting by artist, album, track and date (when published and when added to the device) should all be fundamental user options.
Another restriction is music quality. Tracks can be streamed and downloaded at 128Kbit or 320Kbps Ogg Vorbis, an admittedly higher quality format than MP3, but there is no lossless option for audiophiles. This will be an immediate deal breaker for some, though given the audio fidelity of most mobile phones it perhaps shouldn't be. Equally problematic is while locally stored music can be catalogued and played by the Spotify desktop client, there is no way to get it onto the mobile app. If your favourite band isn't on Spotify then it is doesn't matter to your phone if you have already paid to download a digital copy.
There is more. Spotify has yet to offer background downloading on the iPhone which means the app has to be open while caching tracks [update: now fixed in version 0.4.13] and, despite indications it wishes to evolve the service, you can't use Spotify for video or podcasts. The former is a miss given Apple's U-turn in banning VLC, though a solution to the latter can be found in the form of Instacast – a far more elegant, solution to podcast playback than that offered by iTunes and the iPod. Still it is another Spotify omission.
Our thoughts are numerous. For a start, unless you only listen to music, Spotify is not a complete replacement for the functionality of the iPod and it won't be anytime soon. On top of this the elegance of Spotify's streaming technology is severely compromised by the inelegance of its playlist system. This needs to be improved, fast.
That said what two weeks with Spotify does provide is a tantalising taste of the future. For those not fundamentally tied to the system of owning their music, it opens up a world of musical enlightenment where possession is revoked in favour of limitless sharing. Music is no longer stored and coveted, it is used and deposed of as part of wider acoustic experimentation in which you are constantly trying new things and making new discoveries. Of course the future comes with a price, but at £9.99 per month it feels like a price worth paying.Ultimately however what this experiment has made most clear is choice is available, everywhere. If you regularly read this site you likely put thought into which web browser or media player you use. It is time to raise the same questions about the stock options on your phones.
