A Day at the Beach (Vintage)by Geoffrey Wolff
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With these interwoven autobiographical essays, Geoffrey Wolff, author of the acclaimed The Duke of Deception, recounts the moral (and immoral) education of a writer, friend, husband, and father, as he offers his spirited, elegant, and deeply felt observations on an extraordinary life: from wildly dysfunctional childhood Christmases to a concupiscent career teaching literature in Istanbul; from a victory over the chaos of drink to a life-affirming surrender to the majesty of the Matterhorn; and from a foundering friendship to the transcending love of family.
He shares with us, then, the wisdom of an alert man learning through the unsettling collisions of time, place, and local custom, and through the force of hardship and hazard, to bring his many disparate selves together — with astonishing high-stakes candor and dazzling literary agility.
"Wolff is always a dream to read. He plays his anecdotes like a romantic pianist...cuts his cameos like a Venetian, and dashes into neologisms like an Olympic skater....A Day at the Beach is a délice from one of America's best memoirists." Village Voice
""Elegant....Provide[s] an upbeat counterpoint to the troubled father-son relationship chronicled in The Duke of Deception....In Geoffrey Wolff, America is blessed." Los Angeles Times
"A memoir of uncommon grace and self-deprecating charm....Buoyant and forceful." Newsday
"Sparkling....Style is the hero of these essays....[Wolff] has lived a rich, full life that sounds almost Victorian in its mix of adventure and stability." The New York Times
"Honest and touching....[Wolff explores] the romance of building the clean well-lighted sentence." Chicago Tribune
"Exhilarating....Conjures up a diversity of scenes, set in locations ranging from Istanbul to Greenwich Village to a Caribbean beach." Publishers Weekly
In this essay collection, now with a new introduction by Ann Patchett, Geoffrey Wolff recounts the moral (and sometimes immoral) education of a writer, friend, husband, and father. He shows us his wildly dysfunctional childhood Christmases — presided over by his con-man father — then shifts to his brash, short-lived teaching career in Istanbul. With dazzling literary agility, Wolff guides us through the surprising, invaluable turns that shaped his path: his victory over the chaos of drink, his open-heart surgery, his life-affirming surrender to the slopes of the Matterhorn, and his transcendent love of family. Long considered a classic, now expanded and back in print after two decades, A Day at the Beach shares Wolff's spirited, elegant, and deeply felt observations on an extraordinary life.

Customs seizes rubber ducks for chemical safety
Friday - 12/7/2012, 6:18pm EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Southern California have seized nearly 36,000 Chinese rubber ducks that contain levels of a chemical that may be unhealthful for children.
The ducks decorated as Santas, Snowmen and other holiday figures were seized Dec. 4 by officers and import specialists at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The customs agency said Friday that it worked with the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission in determining that the ducks contain an excessive level of a regulated phthalate, a chemical used to make vinyl and plastics soft and flexible.
The rubber ducks were valued at more than $18,000.

"We think this is reality. But in philosophy, that's called naive realism: "What I perceive is reality." And philosophers have refuted naive realism every century for the last 2,500 years, starting with Buddha and Plato, and yet most people still act on the basis of naive realism.
Now the argument is, "Well, maybe my perceptions are inaccurate, but somewhere there is accuracy, scientists have it with their instruments. That's how we can find out what's really real." But relativity, quantum mechanics, have demonstrated clearly that what you find out with instruments is true relative only to the instrument you're using, and where that instrument is located in space-time. So there is no vantage point from which real reality can be seen.
We're all looking from the point of view of our own reality tunnels. And when we begin to realize that we're all looking from the point of view of our own reality tunnels, we find that it is much easier to understand where other people are coming from.
All the ones who don't have the same reality tunnel as us do not seem ignorant, or deliberately perverse, or lying, or hypnotized by some mad ideology, they just have a different reality tunnel. And every reality tunnel might tell us something interesting about our world if we're willing to listen.
The idea every perception is a gamble, seems to me so obviously true that I continually am astonished that I could forget it so many times during the course of 24 hours. But to the extent that I remember it, I just can't stay angry at anybody, so it's a thing worth keeping in mind."

Candia police probe second Chester Turnpike burglary
Police Chief Michael McGillen said the most recent burglary occurred Thursday.
"The homeowners left the house around 11:30 (a.m.) and returned shortly after 2 that afternoon to find their side door had been forced open," he said. "There were a number of valuables taken, and this is similar to a number of crimes that we have seen in Manchester and some other nearby communities. The items they're taking produce quick money. It's an easy turnaround for them."
Although the investigation has produced no significant leads, McGillen said one resident noticed a suspicious red Dodge pickup truck that may have been driven by a female in the neighborhood the previous day. He said it's unknown if the truck or driver is associated with the crime.
Recently, Candia Police received a break in a case they had been investigating since November, which involved six guns stolen during a residential burglary on the same road.
In addition to the recent burglaries on Chester Turnpike, McGillen said a number of mailboxes were vandalized Thursday night. He said he doesn't believe the crimes are connected.

I have read just about every cifs mount question and sadly cannot get a cifs share to mount.
The command I am using works from a redhat machine but not from Ubuntu 13.10 ( kernel 3.11.0-15-generic)

I compiled into kernel CIFS module and now i am still not able to mount SAMBA directory.
# mount.cifs //192.168.0.101/music /home/dash/music Password: mount error: cifs filesyst
My sw ntfs shared directory is an installation directory on a windows 2008 server. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04
I did the mkdir /media/sw and smbclient -L successfully... then while in root I tried

OK so I've got two samba shares that I'm trying to get mounted. Both are being shared from the same Windows 7 machine. One mounts with out problems, the other one complains about permission denied.

To be fair, who's got time to stand in line at the bank? A survey revealed a third of Americans haven't done any banking in a bank branch in the last six months (apart from going to ATMs). And more than 20% of people haven't visited a bank branch in over a year! Young people are especially unlikely to have visited a bank in the last six months to a year. Unsurprisingly, the internet is taking the place of face-to-face banking interactions for many Americans

A luxury apartment building in Brooklyn, NY is clearing the air. The 490-unit high rise is officially banning smoking! The building's property manager says both current and prospective tenants have voiced their desire for a smoke-free space, and when the ban was put to a vote, the majority of residents ruled in favor. When the new policy goes into effect in March, residents will not be allowed to smoke inside their apartments or within 25 feet of the building's entrance. The ban will apply to existing tenants as well as new ones. What's next- banning screaming infants?

Message from the Race Director, Paul Miller:
Thank you all who helped at the Braintree 5 Race. Without the vast amount of help in whatever form the Race could not have gone ahead. Whether you were marshalling out on the road, dealing with parking in the car park, or one of the other many helpers, you all played a vital role ensuring the smooth running of the event and some very grateful runners. You will appreciate that many months of planning go into the Race every year and it is virtually impossible to cover every single problem which may occur, but with your help any small difficulties were overcome and we ended up, hopefully, with an enjoyable day for all concerned Thank you all once again and here's to the next one Paul.

One of my favorite shirts of all time is a Western shirt made partly from recycled Star Wars sheets, just like the ones I had as a boy. In that vein, I offer you BongaChopShop on Etsy, where you will find a wide variety of dresses, bags, etc, made from other brightly colored kids' sheets from the same era, such as the Star Wars Corset above, or the She-Ra dress to the right.

- This 17th-century manuscript map is an early depiction of the harbor and city of Luanda, on the coast of Angola. Founded by the Portuguese in 1575, Luanda became the administrative center of Portuguese rule in Angola in 1627, one year after this map was made. The port of Luanda was also the center of the Angolan slave trade, controlled by the Portuguese Empire, and which is estimated to have supplied around one-quarter of all African slaves sent to the Americas.

Ultimate GalapagosJuly 16, 2015 - July 28, 2015
Activity Level
To fully enjoy the wildlife-viewing opportunities this exciting program offers, participants should be fit and in good health. Our yacht's schedule includes morning and afternoon shore excursions each day. To visit the islands you will need to board Zodiacs; there will be landings directly onto the beach (wet landings) or onto a dock or rocks (dry landings). You must be able to climb easily into and out of Zodiacs and walk up to three miles at a comfortable pace over uneven terrain, with frequent stops for nature viewing. Should you have any physical limitations, please notify us in advance of your departure.
On the equator, the Galápagos Islands are in a subtropical zone with temperatures determined by the almost constant ocean currents and trade winds. Please come prepared for warm, sunny conditions, and bring adequate sun protection. In July, temperatures should be in the 75°F to 85°F range with minimal rainfall, while water temperatures will be between 70°F to 80°F. GuayaquÍl will be between 75°F to 90°F, with wetter (humid) conditions.
If you wish to do your own research on the region's climate, you may want to check local weather conditions on the Internet, the Weather Channel, or Accuweather shortly before departure.
The U.S. dollar is the standard currency used throughout Ecuador and on board the Isabella II. Your voyage includes most necessities; therefore, we strongly recommend that you carry most of your spending money in smaller denominations. When bringing U.S. currency into Ecuador, please avoid bringing bills that are torn, stained, written on, or otherwise damaged in any way. At the end of your voyage, you may settle your onboard account with your credit card. Visa, MasterCard, and American Express credit cards are accepted for payment on board the Isabella II.
Credit and debit cards are now increasingly accepted at Ecuadorian ATMs in the larger cities and are a good source of obtaining funds when traveling. If you wish to obtain cash with your debit or credit card, please ensure that you have a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number). Major credit cards are accepted as payment in well-established shops and in the hotels we use on our expedition. They are accepted less frequently in smaller stores and with street vendors.
You will receive your Pre-Departure Packet—including a Personal Information Form that will need to be returned to Zegrahm, a complete packing list, reading list, and gift certificates—approximately five months prior to departure. Final documents—including a final itinerary, contact list, and staff biographies—will be sent approximately one month prior to your departure.
Electricity in mainland Ecuador and the Galápagos, including the Isabella II, is 110v/60hz, the same as in the U.S. and Canada. Converters and adapter plugs are not necessary for standard North American appliances.
Extending Your Stay
Interested in extending your stay? Speak with one of our Expedition Advisors to find out how easy it is for you to stay an extra night or two. Or, our Private Travel department is available to design customized extended stays for individuals, families, and groups of friends—the same horizon-broadening adventures and life-changing experiences as our group expedition, but on a flexible, intimate, and personalized scale. Call 800.628.8747 or 206.285.4000 for more information.
Flight Information
Flights are not included in the cost of expeditions; however, Zegrahm Expeditions has a fully-staffed air department that can assist you with flight arrangements.
You will need to purchase airfare from your home city/Guayaquíl/Baltra and Baltra/Guayaquíl/home city. For more detailed information, please contact our in-house Air Department for fare quotes, reservations, or other air-related questions.
Internet and Phone
The Isabela II has computers with internet access as well as Wi-Fi throughout the ship. Please note that internet connections aboard the ship are low-bandwidth and intermittent.
All suites are equipped with a telephone. Rates will be provided onboard.
Your final documentation will include contact information for the ship, including phone and fax numbers as well as email addresses.
Local Time
Mainland Ecuador operates on Eastern Standard Time but does not observe Daylight Savings Time; therefore, the time will be one hour behind the east coast of the United States during our expedition. The Galápagos Islands are on Central Standard Time, two hours behind the mainland. The ship, however, normally remains on Eastern Standard Time to simplify matters.
Following are local times that apply to this expedition when it is 5:00a.m. on the North American west coast:
Seattle, Washington (PDT)
|New York, New York (EDT)
|Mainland Ecuador
|The Galápagos Islands
|Isbaela II (ship stays on mainland Ecuador time)
Should you have any dietary needs, please let us know on the Personal Information Form included with the Pre-Departure packet, and we will do our best to prepare for them. Unfortunately kosher meals cannot be accommodated.
Packing Suggestions
It is essential to maximize the versatility of your travel wardrobe by packing clothing that can be layered. Wash-and-wear, lightweight, natural fabrics are recommended. As you pack, consider your own internal thermostat and personal tastes and adjust accordingly.
There are no laundry facilities on board the Isabela II, but there will be the opportunity to send laundry out (no dry cleaning) once during the trip. Rates are available onboard.
Comfortable and casual clothing, in the expedition spirit, is recommended.
Typically there are two occasions on board when you may wish to wear slightly more formal attire: the captain's welcome aboard and farewell cocktail parties followed by dinner. On these two occasions, women may choose to wear a dress or other appropriate, dressy attire, and men, possibly a jacket and tie. The degree of dress is in accordance with one's personal preference.
Sport sandals with a sturdy sole are the best type of footwear for frequent wet landings, especially where there are rocky and/or coral covered beaches. They provide excellent protection and dry quickly. Other footwear you may wish to bring includes aqua socks and/or canvas sneakers that you don't mind getting wet or dirty. You will want to wear pants that are easy to roll up, shorts, or a sarong for wet landings.
Sporty summer-weight clothing is a good basis for your wardrobe. Loose, lightweight, wash-and-wear slacks, skirts, shorts, blouses, shirts, and T-shirts made of natural fibers are recommended. For protection against insect bites, long pants and long-sleeved shirts are useful as well. The sun can be strong, so bring adequate sun-protective clothing and gear, wear hats, and use sun block, as we will be out in the sun for extended periods of time. Also, keep in mind that we may encounter a rain shower or two on our excursions.
Shore excursions will involve a moderate amount of walking over beaches and rough terrain. Comfortable walking shoes, preferably hiking shoes, are a must. Sturdy walking shoes with thick soles or light hiking boots are recommended. If you have weak ankles, high-top hiking boots will provide better support. Make sure your shoes or boots are well broken-in before your trip.
Snorkeling is an integral part of the Galápagos experience, and there are many opportunities to participate on this expedition. Please note that the majority of the snorkeling will be done in open waters from our Zodiacs, with only a few opportunities for snorkeling off the beach. Masks, flippers (up to size 13), snorkels, wetsuits, and inflatable vests are available on the Isabela II, but you may wish to bring your own for best comfort and fit.
The water temperatures in the Galápagos are generally between 70 to 80°F in July. Depending on your personal sensitivity to cold, you may or may not need a wetsuit or hood. A variety of sizes of wetsuits are available on board (Small – XXL). These are 3 mm, shortie suits (cut off legs and sleeves) without hoods. However, if you are sensitive to cold, we recommend you bring a lightweight wetsuit (1 or 2 millimeters), or if you do not get cold quickly, a Lycra or PolarTec suit may be adequate.
Weights may also be desired when snorkeling with a wetsuit should you wish to free dive below water to see the fish, sea lions, etc. However, please note: We must be notified at least one month prior to departure if you need a weight belt and/or weights (they are free of charge, but we need to know prior to departure how many will be needed, so we can be sure they will be available for you on board).
Additional snorkeling information will be included with your final documents approximately one month before departure. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly should you have further questions in order to maximize your snorkeling experience.
No scuba diving will be offered on this expedition.
You will receive a complete Packing List with your Pre-Departure Packet, approximately five months prior to departure.
With Our Compliments
We are pleased to offer complimentary amenities to our explorers so they can be fully prepared before departing on one of our expeditions. Gift certificates to our Zegrahm Store and Longitude Books will offer you the opportunity to choose one of several specially selected items from our store along with books or maps suggested in the highly recommended titles sent. The certificates will be sent in your Pre-Departure Packet approximately five months prior to departure. Please refer to the gift certificates for more details.

A very readable book! And, it's not just for adult readers - the book is a good enhancement for DNA studies for middle-schooler or high-schoolers. A book about DNA might seem intimidating, but this book is quite approachable.
In 1950 the prize was DNA. This account of that pursuit shows how the scientific teams of the day on both sides of the atlantic competed to win, and how close each isolated team came to the prize.

Hello! And welcome to my convoluted costume! C4 is the day after Halloween so what else should I do but be Dr. Mrs. The Monarch dressed as Sgt. Hatred?!
But really, I was planning on a Dr. Mrs. Costume but my sewing skills are not up to snuff as of yet. I decided on another one of my favourite characters, but I've got this Sheila haircut all ready to go! And I'm broke from spending all my money on my unfinished costume. I just have to paint the helmet and make some patches.
But really, my costume is true to a running theme of The Venture Bros:
Henching for the Monarch to pay for school.
hi I am (season 4) girl Hank for Halloween :D
with custom bag and wrist communicator/digital photo keychain
Triana Orpheus for Halloween. Hell yes.
Go team Venture!
My sister and I were the Venture sisters for Halloween :)

Food trucks line up against proposed regulation from Metro Council
A number of Baton Rouge's food truck operators appeared at City Hall Wednesday afternoon to tell the Metro Council Finance and Executive Committee that they are to new regulations. Metro Councilman R.J. "Smokie" Bourgeois placed the item on the agenda. He says no specific incident triggered the proposed regulations, which would require food truck operators to get permission to park on private property and also make it illegal to serve food from a truck window that faces oncoming traffic. Pat Fellows, owner of Fresh food truck, says he and his fellow mobile vendors aren't opposed to those two regulations, but are wary of what may follow. "Everybody I know in the food truck industry already gets permission to park on private property because they want to reach out to business owners to make their stops more successful," says Fellows. "Everybody that I've talked to opposes this, not so much because of the ordinance itself, but because they feel these regulations could lead to more regulations." The committee is recommending that the Metro Council approve the ordinance when it goes before them next Wednesday. —Steve Sanoski

no song ever described this one experience of mine as well as this song….
The Bravery "The Ocean"
I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
At all of the lives that I never have led
There's one where I stayed with you across the sea
I wonder do you still think of me
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I've looked upon it for so many years
Slowly I am loosing your face
All of these moments are lost in time
You're caught in my head like a thorn on a vine
To forever torment me and I wonder why
Do I wish I'd never known you at all
The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave…
I can't tell you who you are but I like you. which is why I can't tell you who you are.
I think of you, a lot, and I wish you would say something.
"I grieve in my condition for I cannot find the strength to say I need you so.."
hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
and my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore
all I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again….
it hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
it hurts to be here
what am I gonna do?

For years, residents of the developed world have enjoyed access to clean, on-demand drinking water. It's a privilege not shared by those in poorer countries, who often struggle to avoid dehydration and waterborne disease. And as continued climate change and population growth strain supplies across the globe, water scarcity will likely affect 50 percent of the world's population by 2030, including many in Europe and North America.
But a team of Swiss engineering students aim to fight these issues with a new, reusable water filter called DrinkPure. It's a small mouthpiece that screws onto the top of any standard PET water bottle. All you need to do is fill the bottle with non-potable water, screw on the filter, and squeeze. Clean, filtered water is instantly available.
The DrinkPure has a three-step filtration process. Water passes through a prefilter to remove plant matter and dirt, then an activated carbon filter removes chemicals, odors, and heavy metals. Lastly, the water passes through a special polymer membrane that filters out bacteria. The membrane was developed by the students themselves, while the other two filters are essentially off-the-shelf parts.

Kevin Durant signs with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports
JUN 24, 2013 3:49p ET
So, it would only make sense that he didn't make a big deal of signing with a new agent.
Durant took to Twitter again, posting a picture of himself and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, as Durant became the first NBA player to sign with Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports.
#NewRules #RocNation http://t.co/nNIupP2MbN— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) June 24, 2013
"Grateful for this opportunity with Roc Nation Sports. It's go time," Durant said on the Instagram picture.
This is Durant's third agent. He was with Rob Pelinka last season. Jay-Z has signed Robinson Cano of the Yankees, Geno Smith of the New York Jets and Skylar Diggins of the Tulsa Shock, a team in the WNBA.

There are ones take me back to my childhood remind me of what little connection we had back then, how I longed to fit in with my own blood and how cruel children can be. I also have nightmares that paint me a future in where my niece no longer knows my name.
I keep on building on to the wall you started but it all feels like a repair job, filling in the holes but never starting anew.

"The SLVR L7"The good: Obviously doesn't get water damage that easily, great quality, very sturdy. The bad: I honestly can not think of anything that I honestly do not like about the phone Summary: I had this phone for about a week and I left it outside on my back porch and it rained and rained ALL NIGHT LONG! I used my home phone to keep calling it and finally remembered being on the back porch and went back there. It was in a puddle and was SOAKED! I brought it in, at first the ear piece was crackling... more...

Problems with ZLib Encoding
Rather than hacking the Chicken (egad, that sounds rude), has anyone thought to open a dialog with the RealVNC folks ?
Problems with ZLib Encoding
Of course, just haven't found the time to do it. It's that always-cool "only 24 hours in the day" thing. :)

Paul leads the Hi-tech team. His clients include international blue-chip organisations, fledgling and spin-out companies and universities.
Although Intellectual Property issues are often dauntingly complex, particularly in the area of high technology, Paul's wealth of experience enables him to cut through the complex minefield of Intellectual Property issues and present clear business choices to his clients.
Paul read natural sciences at Cambridge University majoring in Experimental and Theoretical Physics and then took a post-graduate degree in Semiconductor Science and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College, London.
Paul has over 15 years' experience in the Patent profession. During this time he has worked as a Patent Attorney drafting hundreds of Patent applications and Patent oppositions and also as Senior IPR Counsel at Nokia, where he was heavily involved in Patent licensing and litigation.
Paul finds that clients value the high quality, prompt delivery and competitive prices provided by his team and also Paul's commercial real-life experience and strategic insights. He has a very strong focus on pro-actively providing creative, relevant and understandable Intellectual Property services.
Paul has particular technical expertise in: telecommunications, electronics and microelectronics, semiconductors, software and computer systems, nanotechnology and medical devices.
Paul lives in Belper, Derbyshire, with his wife and young family.
"One of my favourite inventions is the integrated circuit, which enables millions of electronic components to be integrated into a small piece of silicon. This invention not only enabled the technological revolution but has legal interest because there was a Patent dispute over who invented it - Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments or Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor."
Michael entered the profession in 1981 with a Physics degree from Oxford and undertook his professional training with one of the leading London firms. He qualified in the mid-80s and then decided to widen his horizons by moving to the Midlands at a time when many professions believed there was no life outside London. He joined Swindell & Pearson in 1986 and became a Partner in 1991.
Since joining Swindell & Pearson Ltd, Michael has represented clients in Patent, Trade Mark and Design matters, these clients ranging from private individuals to large corporations. He has worked with a wide range of technologies, including sports accessories, agricultural equipment, retail and wholesale packaging, foundation systems for buildings, electrical, electronic and computer systems and software.
Outside his business life, Michael has been a Scout leader for over 20 years. He is a keen sailor, is active in various different sports and has travelled the world supporting the British athletics team. He remains convinced that somewhere there must be a sport which could grant him British representative honours, if only he could find it.
"It is difficult to choose a favourite invention from all of this - perhaps my favourite case is always my most recent successful one."
Robert joined the firm in 1985. A graduate in Exploration Science from the University of Nottingham, he became a partner in 1993. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents, a Member of the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys and a European Patent Attorney and Trade Mark Attorney.
Robert has considerable experience in assisting clients across a broad range of mechanical and chemical fields. In particular he has spent many years advising the pottery and ceramics industries in relation to all areas of Intellectual Property. He has primary responsibility for the firm's Stoke-on-Trent office.
Outside work Robert enjoys playing and watching football, including managing Swindell & Pearson Ltd Strollers FC, a very moderate five-a-side team. He also enjoys the outdoor life, and particularly any opportunity to ascend or descend mountains, whether on foot or on skis.
"I enjoy a range of different inventions, and I never fail to be impressed by the jet engine and how it can lift me and others off the ground and transport us rapidly around the world. The ability of satellite navigation to follow me even into the smallest street in Stoke-on-Trent is also I believe a fine achievement".
Nick began his career in Intellectual Property in 1989 joining the firm with a first class degree in Biochemistry from the University of Sheffield. He was awarded the 1995 prize for Patent drafting by the Charted Institute of Patent Agents. After achieving full qualification in both Patent and Trade Marks as separate disciplines, Nick spent a couple of years as an in-house Attorney in the Intellectual Property Department for the international biosciences company Zeneca (now AstraZeneca).
Nick re-joined the firm as a Partner at the beginning of 1999. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents, a Member of the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys, a European Patent Attorney and a European Trade Mark Attorney. He is also a member of INTA, PTMG, ECTA and Marques and has lectured to students of the profession on formal qualification courses.
Nick has over 20 years of experience in assisting his clients in often complex and intricate intellectual property matters. His work is on a truly International scale involving the preparation, acquisition and enforcement of his clients' IP rights around the globe. Nick has always held the belief that it is invaluable to develop a deep understanding of a client's business so that his advice can be as tailored, relevant and valuable as possible. With such sound philosophy Nick has worked with the majority of his clients for many years, in disciplines as diverse as pharmaceuticals, composites, materials science, FMCG's, ceramics, confectionery and service industries. Nick enjoys his time outside of the office with his wife and two sons.
Kieron who lives in Derbyshire serves both the Sheffield and Derby offices. He qualified as a Trade Mark Attorney in the 2003 exams and has worked for the firm since 2007.
Kieron's interests include walking in the Peak District with his family, 17th Century History and his three cats. "I am particularly lucky living and working so close to such beautiful countryside in and around Sheffield and Derby".
Kieron is a Member of the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys, the International Trademark Association, various other professional bodies and is a Registered Trade Mark Attorney, a European Trade Mark Attorney and a Registered Designs Attorney.

Scott is responsible for ensuring that the firm is kept abreast of changes in foreign patent law (for example, in the US, Japan, China and Korea). This makes him well placed to advise foreign attorneys on the nuances of European and UK patent law in a manner that they readily understand, helping them to optimize their clients' patent protection in Europe and the UK.
Outside work, Scott enjoys playing sport and travelling. At weekends he can often be found at Molineux Stadium, home to Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. Scott has a good knowledge of Spanish, having spent a year studying physics at La Universidad de Cantabria in Spain.

"I like people with imagination but the following Patent Application seems to suggest some people have just too much imagination for their own good. Patent Application No. CA 2 572 538 describes perpetual motors which can apparently be used to make a starship propulsion system and laser guns for shooting at inter-continental nuclear missiles and I quote: "These Perpetual Motors are Environment Friendly (They run with Magnetism) … will give us the clean air that all the People and Governments of the World are after … will Excel the Industrial World and make a Super Race, and a better World to live in." The starship can be powered using the perpetual motors which serve a warp drive core and is controlled from, and I quote again: "the Bridge Deck of the Star Ship of the U.S. Delorian ... The Star Ship will look somewhat like the Star Ship Enterprise on the TV Series of Star Trek." Well, as Scotty from the aforementioned TV show said "Ye cannae change the laws of physics"."
Simon joined Swindell and Pearson in May 2011 and he is currently training to become a qualified UK and European Patent Attorney.

In his free time Tom enjoys playing games with his friends, listening to an eclectic array of music, eating good food and indulging his love of animals – often all at once! Tom also enjoys hiking, running and martial arts.
"I am fascinated by the almost limitless array of technological wonders and civilisation-advancing ingenuity embodied in the history of patents. However, I am equally thankful for the less grandiose inventions, such as US7464665, which enables my cat's claws to be trimmed quickly and hence minimises the damage she inflicts in the process!"
Tim joined Swindell & Pearson's hi-tech team in September 2013 as a Patent Advisor. He is training to become a qualified UK and European Patent Attorney.
