Standard Lining
Polycotton lining is the classic custom curtain choice for softness of draping and sun protection for your fabric. In a subtle shade of off white to suit most homes.
Thermal Lining
Thermal backing is an ideal choice for its insulation properties, light control and sun protection.
Blockout Lining
With three layers of thermal backing, this gives you even more insulation and light control which makes it perfect for bedrooms and entertainment rooms.
Inside Fitting
Remember a Roman Blind fitted inside your window frame will permanently cover between 250mm-300mm when pulled up or fully open and it will affect the amount of light coming through the window.
1) Measure inside window frame width (mm)
Write all three width measurements down A.B.C
Enter the smallest width measurement of 3 as your final width measurement
2) Measure inside window frame length (mm)
Write all three length measurements down D.E.F
Enter the smallest length measurement of 3 as your final length measurement
We require the exact inside frame to frame measurements in millimetres for both the width and length in three different positions as demonstrated in the illustration.
Do not make any deductions from these exact frame to frame measurements.
Always measure in millimetres
Watch the tutorial video on how to measure Inside Fitted Roman Blinds for complete confidence.
Outside Fitting
1) Measure the outside frame from left to right. Again, double check it.
2) Add to this measurement the distance you want the blind to extend beyond each side of the frame. (If 50mm each side add 100mm to your frame to frame measurement, this is your final width measurement)
3) Take the measurement from the top to the bottom of the window frame. Double check it – this is crucial.
4) A Roman Blind (pulled up) has a stack of 250mm – 300mm depending on the actual full length of the blind, take this into account when measuring, you may want to install the blind higher to minimise window coverage when fully open.
5) Add to this measurement the distance you want the blind to extend beyond the top and bottom of the frame (If 200mm above and 100 mm below, add 300mm to your frame to frame measurement, this is your final length measurement)
When measuring, always look out for things like window handles, or anything that could obstruct the blinds easy operation.
Always measure in millimetres

Ex-exec. charged with killing Vt. couple in apparent suicide attempt released on bail in NH
SUNAPEE, N.H. – A former Fortune 500 executive has been released on bail days after authorities say he killed an expectant couple in a crash while trying to commit suicide.
Corrections officials said Thursday 53-year-old Robert Dellinger, of Sunapee, was released on bail.
Dellinger faces two counts of reckless manslaughter in Saturday's crash that killed 29-year-old Jason Timmons and 24-year-old Amanda Murphy of Wilder, Vt. Murphy was eight months pregnant.
Prosecutors say Dellinger's pickup crossed the median of Interstate 89 in Lebanon and struck the couple's SUV. Police say Dellinger said he intended to kill himself.
Dellinger is a former senior vice president and chief financial officer at PPG Industries Inc. He also held posts at Sprint Corp., Delphi Corp. and General Electric Co.
Dellinger's attorney says he's led an "exemplary life."

Reform bankruptcy law so Americans can keep their homes
by The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Sen. Dick Durbin's much-discussed (and much-cussed) mortgage "cram down" legislation may come to a vote in the U.S. Senate this week, possibly as early as Tuesday. It deserves to pass. Thanks to the stranglehold that the banking industry has on Republican lawmakers, it probably won't.
As of Friday, the Illinois Democrat's "Helping Families Save Their Home in Bankruptcy Act," was a vote or two short of the 60 it needs to close off Senate debate. Negotiations were scheduled over the weekend with some smaller banks and credit unions whose support could sway some senators.
The bill would allow federal bankruptcy judges to reduce — or "cram down," as it's called in bankruptcy court — mortgage principle and interest rates for homeowners in Chapter 13 bankruptcy negotiations. Judges already cram down most other types of debt, but banks long ago carved out an exemption for mortgage loans.
Under Durbin's proposal, homeowners in bankruptcy could remain in their homes as long as they continued making the lower payments. In most cases, the mortgage holders also would come out ahead. They wouldn't have to maintain the properties and try to resell them in today's glutted market.
But the financial industry wants federal assistance to flow only one way. It's one thing for banks to get hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money, but it's quite another for banks to cut their customers any slack.
The financial industry says Durbin's legislation would encourage more Americans to file for bankruptcy and add to mortgage costs for customers who pay their mortgages on time.
But nobody files for bankruptcy if he doesn't have to; the costs to one's credit rating are too high. And banks already are passing the costs of foreclosure onto their other customers.
It may well turn out they save money by allowing people to remain in their homes. In that case, will they pass the savings onto other homeowners? Somehow we doubt it.
Meanwhile, the banking industry also is waging a battle to preserve its hegemony over consumers on another front: credit cards.
A House committee last week advanced legislation that would prohibit banks and credit card companies from imposing "arbitrary" interest rate increases, prohibit excessive fees and order more disclosure. The Federal Reserve has tightened rules on credit card companies, but the proposed legislation has far tougher requirements and deadlines. It could go to the full House for a vote as soon as this week.
President Barack Obama summoned leaders of the credit card industry to the White House for a jawboning session. Why not issue a "plain-vanilla, easy-to-understand, simplest-terms-possible credit card?" the president asked.
Obama should do the same sort of jawboning on the bankruptcy cram-down measure. So far, the Obama administration, in the person of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, has expressed only cautious support for "carefully designed changes."
"It's difficult to get the balance right," Geithner said last week.
Right now the balance between banks and consumers is so far out of whack that it would be hard to make it any worse. Durbin should ask his old Senate colleague from Illinois to jump in with both feet.

Italian Court Orders Retrial of Amanda Knox
Italy's top appeal court Tuesday overturned the acquittal of American Amanda Knox for the murder British student Meredith Kercher.
Kercher died at 21 years old in an apartment she shared with Knox in Italy in 2007.
Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffael Sollecito were prosecuted and found guilty of killing Kercher. Knox was sentenced to 25 years, while Sollecito faced 25.
They were both acquitted after serving four years.
On Tuesday, Italy's final court of appeal overturned the ruling and said both Knox and Sollecito would face a retrial.
Knox is currently living in Seattle.
Rudy Hermann Guede, a drug dealer who knew Knox, was convicted and given a 16-year sentence.
Knox's lawyer Carlo Dall Vedova told the Associated Press that if the court ordered another trial and the conviction is upheld, Italy could seek her extradition from the United States.

HIV Retreats: A Chance for People With HIV to Kick Back, Find Peace, Get Educated and Connect
January 14, 2009
Let's face it, HIV is still a very stigmatized disease. But there are some amazing retreats you can go to with other positive people. Some of the options are free, some expensive. Some are carefree holidays. Others are more educational. You can find retreats for people with HIV beachside, in the mountains and in the middle of the biggest U.S. cities. What all HIV retreats offer is an opportunity to connect.
The Importance of Connecting With Others
Ed Viera
"The advice I'd give is that it's important to develop a support network. It's really important to have a second and third family. In my case, my family turned their backs on me -- they closed all doors. I had to develop support networks by going to HIV support groups.
Go to a library, just talk to people, get out there and stop being isolated."
These retreats are geared for the newly positive as well as people who have long ago processed their diagnosis and are just looking for a chance to unwind.
"People living with HIV and AIDS sometimes feel very isolated and alone. At a retreat, all of a sudden you're in a room with 100 people living with HIV," says Al McKittrick, an organizer of the AIDS, Medicine & Miracles Retreat. "It's rather life changing."
Nena Bridge, an organizer of WORLD's all-women beachside retreats, echoes McKittrick's sentiment. "A lot of women think it's just them by themselves," she says. The attendees at WORLD's retreats are women of all ages. They tell her they leave behind stress and bring back knowledge, strength and confidence.
Along with offering a fun time and a chance to meet others with HIV, retreats offer tools for coping with HIV once you're back home. The balance between entertainment and education varies.
The "Do Not Fear to Hope" retreat is on the more intense end of the spectrum. The topic of its most recent non-denominational religious retreat was, "Where is God in all my suffering?"
On the other hand, the Hetero Poz Cruise Retreat and the Gay Men's Pos Cruise are mostly about leisure -- you are on board a posh cruise ship, after all. Still, there are opportunities to learn. Many attendees come from rural areas where where HIV services and support are scarce, so top-notch HIV specialists are there to provide talks and dispense advice.
But many attendees travel to retreats to meet people. McKittrick met his current partner at a retreat, and, in fact, it's not rare for romance to bloom when HIVers get together.
Both the Hetero Poz Cruise Retreat and the Gay Men's Pos Cruise have seen many couplings. This year, there was one straight marriage and two gay commitment ceremonies aboard ship.
Another advantage of HIV retreats is that many are wallet friendly. In fact, they are often free or dirt cheap. For first-time attendees, the weekend WORLD retreat's cost, including lodging and meals, is just $40. And even expensive retreats are sometimes accessible to people with limited incomes. For example, the Hetero Poz and Gay Men's cruises are pricey, but scholarships are available for HIVers on disability.
Today, HIV retreats are a microcosm of the epidemic. Twenty years ago, the people coming to AIDS, Medicine and Miracles were mostly white gay men. "These days it's a very different audience," McKittrick says. The crowd is made up of more women and African Americans, and the music has changed to suit the crowd. Hip hop and rap has replaced the dance music they used to spin.
In the end, it doesn't matter whether you prefer house music or rap, because there are retreats to suit every taste. Take a look at our list of HIV retreats to find one that will get you moving. If you know of any retreats we missed, please let us know!

Thanks for Nuttin', Irene
Irene was the big weather news in August, but as tropical storms and hurricanes go, it "could have been more severe," Richard G. Hendrickson, the United States Cooperative weather observer in Bridgehampton, wrote in his monthly report for August.
"It stayed on its northward path and we were spared the true severity of its wind and high ocean," he said. "Some trees are down and many, many branches are torn off trees. High tidal water, some shore erosion, but mild compared to the damage done during the path of some of our previous hurricanes."
Mr. Hendrickson, who has been observing and recording weather in Bridgehampton for more than seven decades, knows of what he speaks.
Daytime temperatures last month were mainly in the 80s, according to his report. The warmest days — at 88 degrees — came on Aug. 1 and 8, but it was in the 80s on 20 other days, as well. The coolest night was on Aug. 12, when the temperature dropped to 52.
Mr. Hendrickson recorded 9 clear days, 10 partly cloudy days, and 12 cloudy ones. Measurable rain fell on 10 days, for a total of 4.19 inches, making for an excellent crop of summer vegetables in both quality and quantity, he said. Prevailing winds were from the southwest on 13 days.
"Let's hope that September can be as mild and storm free as last year," he wrote. "Our coming late-summer days should be mild and clear. Yet, in the long run, some of our heaviest rains have come in the month of September."

Stocks ended modestly higher in thin trading Wednesday, recovering losses from the last two sessions, after Dow component Alcoa kicked off the fourth-quarter earnings season on a positive note.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 61.66 points, or 0.46 percent, to close at 13,390.51, led by Boeing and Hewlett-Packard.
The S&P 500 climbed 3.87 points, or 0.27 percent, to finish at 1,461.02. The Nasdaq gained 14.00 points, or 0.45 percent, to end at 3,105.81.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, closed near 14, snapping a six-day losing streak. The index has plummeted more than 40 percent in the last two weeks. (Read More: Why VIX's Recent Plunge May Be Bad for Stocks )
Among key S&P sectors, health care and industrials gained, while financials closed lower.
"After a pretty good start to 2013, we'll have to see how fourth-quarter earnings come in—the market's in a wait-and-see mode until at least next week," said Art Hogan, managing director at Lazard Capital Markets. "And guidance from companies will likely remain conservative in the face of 'fiscal cliff' 2.0."
Alcoa met its earnings target and topped revenue expectations. The company also said it expects global aluminum demand to rise to 7 percent in 2013, up from 6 percent in 2012. In addition, at least two brokerages raised their price target on the company.
"Alcoa's results are generally considered a bellwether for the global economy and the fact that the aluminium giant forecasts higher demand in 2013 appeased investors," Chris Weston, a trader at IG Markets wrote in a note.
Still, investors remained cautious over the fourth-quarter earnings season as estimates have been sharply lowered from where they were last October. Earnings are expected to grow by 2.7 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data.
But analysts say the lowered expectations leave room for companies to surprise to the upside even if results aren't stellar.
Widely-followed hedge fund manager Dan Loeb's Third Point disclosed a 8.24 percent stake in Herbalife, according to a 13G filing.
Separately, the SEC opened an inquiry into Herbalife. The probe won't necessarily result in any enforcement action, but it adds pressure on the company a day before its meeting with investors. In December, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman of Pershing Square outlined his case for shorting the nutrition and skin-care products company. Ackman also criticized Herbalife, saying the company is a "pyramid scheme" that has grown rapidly without demonstrating "much substance" to justify the growth.
Morgan Stanley plans to cut 1,600 jobs, or approximately 6 percent of its workforce, in its investment banking unit, according to sources. The latest round of cuts comes in addition to a 6 percent reduction last year.
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner jet suffered a third mishap this week after Japan's All Nippon Airways said it canceled a 787 Dreamliner flight due to brake problems. The latest problem follows a fuel leak on Tuesday that forced a Japan Airlines 787 aircraft to cancel take-off at Boston's Logan International Airport, a day after a different JAL 787 aircraft caught fire after a flight to Boston from Tokyo. Still, shares of Boeing rallied, rebounding from two days of declines. (Read More: Airlines Stick With Boeing 787 Despite 'Teething Problems')
Clearwire received an unsolicited takeover bid of $3.30 a share from Dish Network. Sprint Nextel already has an agreement to acquire 50 percent of Clearwire it doesn't already own for $2.97 a share. Clearwire said its ability to enter other transactions is limited by other arrangements, but that it has a fiduciary duty to discuss the Dish offer.
Bank of America slumped after Credit Suisse downgraded the financial giant to "neutral" from "outperform." BofA was the best performer on the Dow in 2012.
Facebook crossed above $30 a share for the first time in six months after the social-networking giant sent out a press event invitation for next week at its Menlo Park campus. The invitation has some buzzing about a phone, while others speculate it could be a search engine.
Meanwhile, Apple slipped, adding to recent declines. The iPhone maker's stock is down almost 25 percent from its all-time high and is the worst performer on the Nasdaq 100 index over the last four months.
Also among earnings, Apollo Group plunged to lead the S&P 500 decliners after the for-profit education company posted lower enrollment rates for the third-consecutive quarter and slashed its operating profit estimates for 2013.
Constellation Brands rallied after the wine company topped earnings expectations and boosted its forecast for the second time this fiscal year. Warehouse club operator PriceSmart is schedule to post earnings after the closing bell.
Weekly mortgage applications rose last week, rebounding from three consecutive weeks of declines, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Treasurys pared their gains after the government auctioned $21 billion in 10-year notes at a high yield of 1.863 percent. The bid-to-cover was 2.83.
Technology stocks will be in focus as the Consumer Electronics Show continues in Las Vegas. Reuters reported that one of Microsoft's top Windows executives said at the show that the group has sold 60 million licenses and upgrades for its Windows 8 operating system in the 10 weeks since its launch.

Columbus is a modern interpretation of the typefaces used in early Spanish printing. Columbus contains traces of antique letterforms but stops short of being a novelty face, allowing Columbus to remain usable for more than just display treatments.
The year 1992 marked two events that, together, sparked the idea for a new typeface based on early Spanish printing: the quincentenary of Christopher Columbus' epic voyage across the Atlantic, and the 1992 Olympics, held in Barcelona. (Of course, Columbus was not Spanish, but he set sail from Spain and was largely sponsored by the Spanish monarchy.)
The type family, called Columbus, was drawn by Patricia Saunders under the design direction of Robin Nicholas in Monotype's UK office. Ornaments were researched and designed by Saunders' husband, David Saunders.
With the help of type historians John Dreyfus and James Mosely, two books were selected as representative of the finest late-fifteenth-century or early-sixteenth-century Spanish printing. The first of these was by Jorge Coci, a printer working in Saragossa. The book was a collection of Virgil's works, and the types used are thought to have originated in Italy. The second book was printed by Coci's son-in-law, Bartolome de Najera. It was a writing manual by the famous Spanish calligrapher, Juan de Yciar. The types used in this book were cut by Robert Granjon, and served as inspiration for the italic of Saunders' Columbus.
Based on these historical sources, Saunders drew a fresh and lively typeface perfectly suited to contemporary tastes and needs. She retained a few pleasingly archaic letters, such as 'h', but avoided other quirky forms that might jar present-day readers.
Instead of making a facsimile of a typically irregular fifteenth-century or sixteenth-century font, Saunders applied her broad expertise, skill and judgment to the task, with invaluable guidance from Robin Nicholas. The result was the creation of a beautiful and versatile new typeface.

Although remembered now for his elegantly argued critical essays, Matthew Arnold, born in Laleham, Middlesex, on December 24, 1822, began his career as a poet, winning early recognition as a student at the Rugby School where his father, Thomas Arnold, had earned national acclaim as a strict and innovative headmaster. Arnold also studied at Balliol College, Oxford University. In 1844, after completing his undergraduate degree at Oxford, he returned to Rugby as a teacher of classics. After marrying in 1851, Arnold began work as a government school inspector, a grueling position which nonetheless afforded him the opportunity to travel throughout England and the Continent. Throughout his thirty-five years in this position Arnold developed an interest in education, an interest which fed into both his critical works and his poetry. Empedocles on Etna (1852) and Poems (1853) established Arnold's reputation as a poet and in 1857 he was offered a position, which he accepted and held until 1867, as Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Arnold became the first professor to lecture in English rather than Latin. During this time Arnold wrote the bulk of his most famous critical works, Essays in Criticism (1865) and Culture and Anarchy (1869), in which he sets forth ideas that greatly reflect the predominant values of the Victorian era.
Meditative and rhetorical, Arnold's poetry often wrestles with problems of psychological isolation. In "To Marguerite—Continued," for example, Arnold revises Donne's assertion that "No man is an island," suggesting that we "mortals" are indeed "in the sea of life enisled." Other well-known poems, such as "Dover Beach," link the problem of isolation with what Arnold saw as the dwindling faith of his time. Despite his own religious doubts, a source of great anxiety for him, in several essays Arnold sought to establish the essential truth of Christianity. His most influential essays, however, were those on literary topics. In "The Function of Criticism" (1865) and "The Study of Poetry" (1880) Arnold called for a new epic poetry: a poetry that would address the moral needs of his readers, "to animate and ennoble them." Arnold's arguments, for a renewed religious faith and an adoption of classical aesthetics and morals, are particularly representative of mainstream Victorian intellectual concerns. His approach—his gentlemanly and subtle style—to these issues, however, established criticism as an art form, and has influenced almost every major English critic since, including T. S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling, and Harold Bloom. Though perhaps less obvious, the tremendous influence of his poetry, which addresses the poet's most innermost feelings with complete transparency, can easily be seen in writers as different from each other as W. B. Yeats, James Wright, Sylvia Plath, and Sharon Olds. Late in life, in 1883 and 1886, Arnold made two lecturing tours of the United States. Matthew Arnold died in Liverpool on April 15, 1888.

Diversity in business and other organizations has been a goal for more than a quarter of a century, yet companies struggle to create an inclusive workplace. In Reinventing Diversity, Howard J. Ross, one of America's leading diversity experts, explains why most diversity programs fail and how we can make them work.
Ross uses interviews, personal stories, statistics, and case studies to show that there is no quick fix, no easy answer. Acceptance needs to become part of the culture of a company, not just a mandated attitude. People still feel alienated because of their race, language, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or culture. Many of these prejudices are unconscious and exclusions unintentional. Only through challenging our own preconceived notions about diversity and the traditional approaches to workplace diversity and inclusion that were created long ago can we build a productive and collaborative work environment in which all people are included.
The goal of this book is to create organizations that are culturally competent, culturally intelligent, and culturally flexible. Reinventing Diversity is designed as a road map to get there.

"Howard Ross's global and academic experiences are artfully reflected in this book. His insights and guidance make this a must-read for anyone wanting to create culturally inclusive community in organizations. I plan to make it required reading for leaders wherever I go."
— Rosalyn Taylor O'Neale, vice president and chief diversity & inclusion officer, Campbell Soup Company
"This book, like Howard Ross, is brimming with substance and soul. It is an important work that invites courageous conversations and difficult dialogues both with ourselves and with others. Page after page offers us the wisdom, inspiration, and tools we need to be effective advocates for diversity and inclusion. At last, here is the book we have been waiting for!"
— Johnnetta Betsch Cole, director, Smithsonian National Museum of African Art
"I applaud Howard Ross for raising the issues, for bringing his heart, soul, spirit and passion to an issue he has devoted much of his life to. We have no choice but to embrace diversity, and Howard says we must confront our own biases in that embracing, and in our effort to construct a more inclusive society. His words ain't nothing but the truth, embracing my Ebonics. This is mind-expanding and important work."
— Julianne Malveaux, president of Bennett College for Women
"Reinventing Diversity is a true reflection of Howard Ross's heart and soul and his decades-long commitment to transforming human relationships. This book not only challenges us to think differently about diversity and inclusion but also points to a new direction for how we can overcome the lines and barriers that divide us. As a civil rights leader on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality, I use these lessons daily."
— Joe Solmonese, president, Human Rights Campaign
"In Reinventing Diversity, Howard J. Ross explains that creating what he calls 'organizational community' requires vision, which sounds like a platitude. Then we read on to discover that vision is much more than sight, or even foresight. Vision involves an intense level of focus and planning that anticipates the role of diversity in the globalized twenty-first century. If Howard Ross didn't exist, we'd have to invent him. Or at least reinvent him."
— Kojo Nnamdi, host, The Kojo Nnamdi Show, WAMU FM, Washington, D.C.

Can you remember something that never happened? And if two people recall the same event two ways, how do you know who is right?
In the Harold Pinter play "Old Times," the roles are always shifting among the three characters: Deeley and his wife, Kate, and Anna, her visiting friend from the past. Who is right and who is wrong, who is strong and who is struggling for dominance?
As the trio talk over tea, making polite but increasingly brittle conversation, they recall powerful events, in often competing ways. Have Deeley and Anna met before? Who was wearing the black stockings at the party, Anna or Kate? Who was the man in Kate's bed that night?
By the way, where has Anna been for the last 20 years?
"Who controls memory? Who decides what the real memory is?" actress Courtney Walsh says after rehearsal. "It's a power game."
Actor Rush Rehm calls the drama "Noel Coward played at extremely high stakes."
The play is an intense, ambiguous, disturbing and sometimes humorous start to this summer's Stanford Summer Theater festival, which is July 7 through Aug. 14. The theme of the 13th season is "Memory Play Festival," inviting actors and audiences alike to explore the contentious, fluid topic of memory through productions of "Old Times" and Seneca's "Oedipus," translated by Ted Hughes and directed by Matt Moore.
In addition, a free Monday-evening film series delves into memory with such titles as Jacques Tourneur's "Out of the Past" on July 11 and Hitchcock's "Spellbound" on July 18. A symposium is planned for July 16, with talks, discussion and scenes from "memory plays." A Stanford Continuing Studies course on memory plays began this week.
The festival's artistic director and founder, Rehm is also a Stanford University professor of drama and classics. He was himself a college student when "Old Times" was published in 1971. He's a big fan of Pinter, an acclaimed British playwright, director and actor, who died in 2008.
Rehm has played other Pinter roles before, including several in the 2005 festival, which was dedicated to the writer on his 75th birthday. But Deeley is special; Rehm says he's wanted for years to play this man, who is by turns confident, confused, teasing and shattered.
"It's a real privilege," he says after rehearsal in Stanford's intimate Pigott Theatre, where the play will be performed July 7 through July 24.
Part of the appeal of Pinter, Rehm says, is his distinctive language. "It's almost musical: speeches, pauses, silence."
Jeffrey Bihr, who is directing the production, agrees. "He gives you this marvelous and strange language, full of pauses and possibility," he says. "The play has the soul of a poet."
Pinter varied his sentence length to dramatic effect in "Old Times," as he often did. Short fragments can be followed by long monologues delivered in bursts. Punctuation is key, and every silence means something. A big part of analyzing the script is finding the meaning behind every choice that Pinter made, Bihr says.
"Rhythmically, it allows a kind of excited variety in speech and tonality that Pinter was going after," Bihr says. "It needs to be very real."
In the play's opening, Kate and Deeley are having a conversation in short sentences, with much conveyed between the lines. One interchange reads like this:
Deeley: Did you think of her as your best friend?
Kate: She was my only friend.
Deeley: Your best and only.
Kate: My one and only.
If you have only one of something you can't say it's the best of anything.
Later, Anna, the long-absent friend, enters with a rush of words:
Anna: Queuing all night, the rain, do you remember? my goodness, the Albert Hall, Covent Garden, what did we eat? to look back, half the night, to do things we loved, we were young then of course, but what stamina, and to work in the morning, and to a concert, or the opera, or the ballet, that night, you haven't forgotten? and then dashing for the matches for the gasfire and then I suppose scrambled eggs, or did we? ...
Lines can be harder to learn, leaving no room for paraphrasing, when actors must memorize every comma and period. But Walsh says these patterns of language help her make emotional choices as an actor.
"Is it anger? Insecurity? What makes people speak in long runs without punctuation?" she says.
Fellow actress Cristina Anselmo sees echoes of Pinter's distinctive language in the start-and-stop of playwright David Mamet. "Mamet's torn a big page from Pinter."
Another aspect of "Old Times" that appeals to its director and actors is the story's ambiguity. It's the dance of memory, ever-evolving. Who are these characters, really, and how do their memories of the past shape who they are today? What happens if someone challenges their memories? Many critics have given interpretations of the play's emotionally devastating ending (which should not be revealed here).
Bihr says he believes that his role as director is not to answer all the questions. Rather, he hopes to provoke many possibilities that keep audiences thinking, questioning and talking after the curtain falls.
"I set up an expectation and either fulfill it or whip it away," he says. "Either way, it'll work."
To highlight the ambiguity, Bihr has taken the unusual step of having the two actresses alternate in the roles of Kate and Anna. In fact, they'll alternate by acts. One night, Walsh will play Kate and Anselmo will play Anna in Act One, and then they'll switch in Act Two. The following night, the order will be reversed. Bihr says he's not aware of other productions of "Old Times" having done this.
To help the audience understand that the actresses are switching roles mid-show, Bihr has the two slowly circle each other just before the second act, with one then taking the other's place.
Walsh calls the casting move "brilliant," saying that it highlights the unusual relationship between the gregarious Anna and the catlike Kate. In one interpretation, Anna is "another dimension of Kate: the younger lustful self," Walsh says. Or perhaps Anna is a real person, upon whom Kate projects her youth. Or simply a past lover.
Whatever happens, the meeting is increasingly painful to Deeley. He watches the past intrude on the present, breaking his wife apart.
"And then of course if I don't know who I'm talking to, I don't know who I am," Rehm says.
In rehearsal, Bihr highlights that ambiguity physically, at one point having Kate, being played by Walsh, passionately lean over Anna on the bed. "I want this move quick," Bihr says, walking onto the stage and putting his knee over Anselmo to demonstrate. ("Is she going to kill or kiss her?" he says later.)
Walsh's eyes are fierce, while Anselmo is rigid, almost pale. A flicker of something quieter -- perhaps tenderness, perhaps apathy -- comes into the scene when Walsh slips her arms under Anselmo's back and slowly pulls her upright in a strange embrace.
Later, when rehearsal is over, Bihr is full of praise. "It's starting to crackle with some interesting layers and physicality," he says.
Walsh, who has acted at Stanford Summer Theater for five seasons, is also in "Oedipus," playing Jocasta. The translation by Ted Hughes is less common; Rehm says he's not seen it performed on the West Coast before.
As if the Oedipus myth weren't heavy enough, with the title character destined to kill his father and marry his mother, Rehm said Hughes' language is particularly powerful.
"It's a descent into the abyss for the ear," he says. "The language is dense, and the place it goes is very, very dark."
Fitting for the festival's theme, the play is the classic memory myth, with Oedipus not knowing who he is and slowly learning the horror of the things he's done, Rehm says.
"It's also a fabulous whodunit," Walsh adds. "You know it, but he's unraveling it." She smiles. "When is the moment of recognition?"
What: Stanford Summer Theater's 13th season focuses on memory, with plays, films and a symposium.
Where and when: Performances of "Old Times" are July 7-24, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., at Pigott Theater in Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University. "Oedipus" runs July 28-Aug. 14 at the same times in Nitery Theater, Old Union, Stanford.
Films will be shown July 11-Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. in Stanford's Annenberg Auditorium, with discussions following. The "Stages of Memory" symposium is 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. July 16 in Pigott Theater.
Cost: Tickets are $25 general and $15 for seniors and students for "Old Times," and $20/$15 for "Oedipus." Films are free. The symposium is $90, including lunch and refreshments (advance registration required).

Historical Allsorts
The Fell Types
By the beginning of the eighteenth century, there were said to be more Dutch types in England than in Holland. Dutch types weren't merely prized for their visual or metallurgical qualities, they filled a vacuum in the marketplace: a Star Chamber decree of the previous century had placed such oppressive restrictions on domestic typefounding as to virtually forbid its practice in England.
Although these prohibitions were lifted by royal decree in 1637, their effects were felt well into the next century. One of the first to recognize England's overwhelming reliance on foreign sources was Bishop John Fell, who was charged in 1667 with accumulating a comprehensive set of types for the Oxford University Press. Rather than continuing to import Dutch types, Fell chose to import a Dutch typefounder, Peter de Walpergen, who cut for the press a collection of fonts included in the assortment known today as "The Fell Types." Among these was a handsome and practical set of book types cut before 1693, in the "great primer" size (roughly 14pt), which are revived here. These faces were among the first 'Old Styles' cast in England, and as such are an essential link between the seventeenth century Dutch Old Styles of Kis, Van Dijck and Voskens, and the eighteenth century English Old Styles of William Caslon.
These faces are reproduced from Notes on a Century of Typography at the University Press Oxford, 1693-1794, by Horace Hart, reproduced in facsimile with notes by Harry Carter (The Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1970.) All of the original characters have been preserved intact, except the lowercase and small cap j which have been lightened, and an italic ff ligature, which has been derived from the ffi. Characters that postdate the original Fell Types, such as the Euro and at-symbol (@), have been fabricated in a sympathetic style.

President Obama - All posts tagged President Obama
Mar 12, 2014
President Obama, in rewarding Gap Inc. for its decision to raise minimum wage for its store workers, paid an unexpected visit to one of its namesake stores in New York on Tuesday, reportedly spending about $150 for the First Lady and their daughters.
However, the shopping trip to drum up support for his minimum wage hike call to $10.10 from $7.25 may not do much to change most retailers' thinking on the issue. Despite Gap's move to raise minimum wage for its 65,000 workers, most retailers have chosen to stay on the sidelines to watch how the national debate plays out.

Mentoring Local Organizations - Here's How!
Mentoring has become a very important means for social entrepreneurs to gain skills from an experienced entrepreneur. It has become one of the most effective ways to build an organization's capacity. Mentor's can give advice, encouragement and leverage their contacts to help an organization grow. Jennifer Lentfer offers some practical guidelines for developing an effective mentor relationship.
Stronger, more sustainable community-based organizations can contribute to a more effective and participatory civil society response to the needs of vulnerable people in the developing world.
Donors can support organizations even at the beginning stages of organizational development with an intent to leave groups stronger than when they first entered into partnership. Different types of capacity building activities such as mentoring relationships and exchange visits between organizations can offer the most relevant and supportive technical assistance through sharing on-the-ground experience among organizations at all levels of organizational development.

For best printing results turn on "Print background colors and images" in your browser settings.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Jeep Wrangler was redesigned for the 2007 model year.
The driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of the lower interior of 17 cm at the footrest, and the upper hinge pillar and instrument panel intruded 9-11 cm.
Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left knee, left and right thighs, and left lower leg would be likely in a crash of this severity. Injuries to the left foot would be possible.
The dummy's movement was well controlled. The dummy's head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound. However, the Wrangler is one of a handful of passenger vehicles still sold without standard side airbags to protect the head and chest from contact with side structure and outside objects.
How this test is conducted
The Jeep Wrangler was redesigned for the 2007 model year. A larger, heavier 4-door model was added for the first time, but the front ends of the 4-door and 2-door are very similar. The Institute tested the 4-door Wrangler first, which received a Good overall frontal crash test rating. Therefore, frontal ratings for the 2-door are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Chrysler as part of frontal crash test verification.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was high, indicating the possibility of head injuries.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
During the crash, the driver door opened. This opening didn't significantly affect dummy movement during the test but shouldn't happen because, in some crashes, it could allow partial or complete occupant ejection, especially if the occupant is unbelted. This door opening resulted in a structure rating downgrade from good to acceptable.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. A fracture of the pelvis would also be possible.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — Although the intruding barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, the head was not protected from contacts outside the vehicle. This indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head.
Passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the diagonal steel tube supporting the convertible top. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.
How this rating is determined
On the straightaway, visibility was inadequate on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was inadequate in all 4 tests.
The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was inadequate in all 4 tests.
How this rating is determined
This vehicle has 2 rear seating positions with complete child seat attachment (LATCH) hardware.
IIHS doesn't track or investigate vehicle defects. Use this link to search the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's database for recalls on this or any other vehicle.

I'm pretty sure the major lifting is already done in the cx23885 tree, I've already done this for another design. Assuming support doesn't already exist, then it's probably just a matter of defining the new PCIe ID', defining the card etc, attach structs, serial/parallel etc. Get me a login to a remote dev system with the board installed (and working antenna feeds) then I should be able to get this done for you. You can mail me privately with any details. Regards, Steve

I don't know if the proposed cluster is using dual CPU's but I believe you can run multiple Matlab sessions on one node and use only one license. So if you had two CPU's you could run two sessions (and more probably if you had a bunch of interactive sessions) and use only one license. This would at least drop the number of licenses needed in half. So, depending on what the Matlab licenses cost these days maybe it would be cheaper to get a bunch of 8 CPU Opterons :^o Steve ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Cousins, Ocean Modeling Group Email: cousins at umit.maine.edu Marine Sciences, 208 Libby Hall http://rocky.umeoce.maine.edu Univ. of Maine, Orono, ME 04469 Phone: (207) 581-4302

The Bureau of Meteorology is advising Queenslanders to prepare for a typical cyclone season under the influence of neutral climate conditions.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
The tropical cyclone season outlook for 2013-2014 is for an average year and suggests Queenslanders can expect four cyclones to form and one to cross the coast.
Bureau of Meteorology regional director Rob Webb says they are getting few clues to the season ahead under the neutral conditions and says even global climate conditions and sea surface temperatures are providing little insight.
"Given that the El Nino - Southern Oscillation isn't pointing us in any direction we are just telling people to anticipate a typical summer and that normally means a rapid increase in the development of our cyclone activity through the back end of the year into the first three months of the year," he said.
The peak months for cyclone activity are January, February and March and an average year will bring four cyclones to Queensland waters.
Cyclones have been known to form as early as November but are unlikely to cross the coast that early in the season says Mr Webb who advises all Queenslanders to prepare for storm season.
"And remembering that we have had cyclones plunge all the way down to the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast over our history," he said.
At this stage the weather bureau is unable to give an indication as to the severity of the cyclones that may come this year.
Storms and rain
Without the El Nino and La Nina climate drivers dominating, a typical thunderstorm season is forecast this year with an increase in activity between October and December.
Coastal regions can expect a typical monsoon season however inland parts look likely to continue under hot dry conditions says Mr Webb.
"There doesn't seem to be too much pointing towards drought-breaking rains out in that part of the world, but along the coastal areas we would still expect a typical summer," he said.
Mr Webb warns people not to become complacent about storms or monsoon depressions which may not seem as threatening as a cyclone but can be just as damaging.
"We saw last year with tropical cyclone Oswald which was a category one for just six or 10 hours... but it did all its damage as a rain depression and that was a timely reminder that it doesn't need to have a 'tropical cyclone' in front of it to be a damaging storm," he said.
A hot summer
Queenslanders can expect a hot summer with the record breaking heat of the past few months likely to continue.
Queensland has experienced its warmest year on record so far says Mr Webb.
"It does seem like there will be a continuation of these hot conditions we have just seen record after record break," he said.
Mr Webb says forecasters are "upbeat" about the timely development of the monsoon this year which was three weeks late last year.
"Hopefully as that comes south we see a little bit more of the rainfall (a return to some rainfall) but it really is too early to say whether we will get widespread flooding or anything like that, we think that is unlikely," he said.
The seasonal outlooks for temperature, rainfall and cyclones are available on the Bureau of Meteorology website.
