William Shakespeare (1564-1616), `The Bard of Avon', English poet and playwright wrote the famous 154 Sonnets and numerous highly successful oft quoted dramatic works including the tragedy of the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet;
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!"
--Lord Polonius, Hamlet Act I, Scene 3
While Shakespeare caused much controversy, he also earned lavish praise and has profoundly impacted the world over in areas of literature, culture, art, theatre, and film and is considered one of the best English language writers ever. From the Preface of the First Folio (1623) "To the memory of my beloved, The Author, Mr. William Shakespeare: and what he hath left us"--Ben Jonson;
"Thou art a Moniment, without a tombe
And art alive still, while thy Booke doth live,
And we have wits to read, and praise to give."
Over the centuries there has been much speculation surrounding various aspects of Shakespeare's life including his religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sources for collaborations, authorship of and chronology of the plays and sonnets. Many of the dates of play performances, when they were written, adapted or revised and printed are imprecise. This biography attempts only to give an overview of his life, while leaving the more learned perspectives to the countless scholars and historians who have devoted their lives to the study and demystification of the man and his works.
England's celebration of their patron Saint George is on 23 April, which is also the day claimed to be the birth date of Shakespeare. Although birth and death dates were not recorded in Shakespeare's time, churches did record baptisms and burials, usually a few days after the actual event. The infant William was baptised on 26 April 1564 in the parish church Holy Trinity of Stratford upon Avon. He lived with his fairly well-to-do parents on Henley Street, the first of the four sons born to John Shakespeare (c1530-1601) and Mary Arden (c1540-1608), who also had four daughters. John Shakespeare was a local businessman and also involved in municipal affairs as Alderman and Bailiff, but a decline in his fortunes in his later years surely had an effect on William.
In his younger years Shakespeare attended the Christian Holy Trinity church, the now famous elegant limestone cross shaped cathedral on the banks of the Avon river, studying the Book of Common Prayer and the English Bible. In 1605 he became lay rector when he paid 440 Pounds towards its upkeep, hence why he is buried in the chancel. Early on Shakespeare likely attended the Elizabethan theatrical productions of travelling theatre troups, come to Stratford to entertain the local official townsmen, including the Queen's Men, Worcester's Men, Leicester's Men, and Lord Strange's Men. There is also the time when Queen Elizabeth herself visited nearby Kenilworth Castle and Shakespeare, said to have been duly impressed by the procession, recreated it in some of his later plays.
Although enrolment registers did not survive, around the age of eleven Shakespeare probably entered the grammar school of Stratford, King's New School, where he would have studied theatre and acting, as well as Latin literature and history. When he finished school he might have apprenticed for a time with his father, but there is also mention of his being a school teacher. The next record of his life is in 1582, when still a minor at the age of eighteen and requiring his father's consent, Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway (1556�1623) married in the village of Temple Grafton. Baptisms of three children were recorded; Susanna (1583-1649), who went on to marry noted physician John Hall, and twins Judith (1585-1662) who married Richard Quiney, and Hamnet (1585-1596) his only son and heir who died at the age of eleven.
It is not exactly clear what Shakespeare was doing in the first few years after the marriage, but he did go to London and worked at The Globe theatre, possibly as one of the Queen's Men whose works were harshly anti Catholic in a time of rising Protestantism. He was writing poems and plays, and his involvement with theatre troupes and acting is disparagingly condemned in a 1592 pamphlet that was distributed in London, attributed to Robert Green the playwright titled "Groats Worth of Witte" haughtily attacking Shakespeare as an "upstart crow";
"Yes trust them not: for there is an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tyger's hart wrapped in a Player's hyde, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blanke verse as the best of you: and beeing an absolute Iohannes fac totum [Jack-of-all-trades, Master of none], is in his owne conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrey. O that I might entreate your rare wits to be employed in more profitable courses: & let these Apes imitate your past excellence, and never more acquaint them with your admired inventions."
By 1593 the plague was haunting London and many who were able fled the teeming city for the cleansing airs of open country. While it was a time for many upstart theatres, the popular public entertainment of the day, they were often shut down and forbidden to open for stretches of time. Shakespeare probably spent these dark days travelling between London, Stratford, and the provinces, which gave him time to pen many more plays and sonnets. Among the first of his known printed works is the comedic and erotically charged Ovidian narrative poem Venus and Adonis (1593). It was wildly popular, dedicated with great esteem to his patron Henry Wriothesly, third earl of Southampton, the young man that some say Shakespeare may have had more than platonic affection for. It was followed by the much darker The Rape of Lucrece in 1594, The Passionate Pilgrim in 1599 and the allegorical The Phoenix and the Turtle (1601).
At this time of prolific writing, Shakespeare began his association until his death with The Lord Chamberlain's Men. With the accession of James I they became the King's Men, who bought and performed most of Shakespeare's plays. The troupe included his friend and actor Richard Burbage. They performed frequently at court, and in the theatres that Shakespeare was co-owner of including the Blackfriars, The Theatre, and The Globe in London until it burnt down during a performance of King Henry VIII. It is said that Shakespeare himself acted in a number of roles including the ghost in Hamlet and Old Adam in As You Like It. In the late 1590s he bought `New Place' on Chapel Street in Stratford, one of his many real estate investments.
Shakespeare wrote most of his plays as `quarto texts', that being on a sheet of paper folded four ways. A few of his plays were printed in his lifetime, though they appeared more voluminously after his death, sometimes plagiarised and often changed at the whim of the printer. First Folio would be the first collection of his dramatic works, a massive undertaking to compile thirty-six plays from the quarto texts, playbooks, transcriptions, and the memories of actors. The approximately nine hundred page manuscript took about two years to complete and was printed in 1623 as Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies. It also featured on the frontispiece the famous engraved portrait of Shakespeare said to be by Martin Droeshout (1601-c1651).
Under the favour of the court The Kings' Men became the eminent company of the day. Most likely Anne and the children lived in Stratford while Shakespeare spent his time travelling between Stratford and London, dealing with business affairs and writing and acting. In 1616 his daughter Judith married Quiney who subsequently admitted to fornication with Margaret Wheeler, and Shakespeare took steps to bequeath a sum to Judith in her own name. William Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616, according to his monument, and lies buried in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford upon Avon. While there is little known of her life, Anne Hathaway outlived her husband by seven years, dying in 1623 and is buried beside him. It is not clear as to how or why Shakespeare died, but in 1664 the reverend John Ward, vicar of Stratford recorded that "Shakespeare, Drayton and Ben Johnson had a merie meeting, and itt seems drank too hard, for Shakespeare died of a feavour there contracted." His tombstone is inscribed with the following epitaph;
Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare
To digg the dust encloased heare
Blessed by y man y spares hes stones
And curst be he y moves my bones
It is generally agreed that most of the Shakespearean Sonnets were written in the 1590s, some printed at this time as well. Others were written or revised right before being printed. 154 sonnets and "A Lover's Complaint" were published by Thomas Thorpe as Shake-speares Sonnets in 1609. The order, dates, and authorship of the Sonnets have been much debated with no conclusive findings. Many have claimed autobiographical details from them, including sonnet number 145 in reference to Anne. The dedication to "Mr. W.H." is said to possibly represent the initials of the third earl of Pembroke William Herbert, or perhaps being a reversal of Henry Wriothesly's initials. Regardless, there have been some unfortunate projections and interpretations of modern concepts onto centuries old works that, while a grasp of contextual historical information can certainly lend to their depth and meaning, can also be enjoyed as valuable poetical works that have transcended time and been surpassed by no other.
Evoking Petrarch's style and lyrically writing of beauty, mortality, and love with its moral anguish and worshipful adoration of a usually unattainable love, the first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man, sonnets 127-152 to a dark lady. Ever the dramatist Shakespeare created a profound intrigue to scholars and novices alike as to the identities of these people.
Some probably inspired by Shakespeare's study of Lives (trans.1597) by Greek historian and essayist Plutarch and Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles (1587). Some are reworkings of previous stories, many based on English or Roman history. The dates given here are when they are said to have been first performed, followed by approximate printing dates in brackets, listed in chronological order of performance.
Titus Andronicus first performed in 1594 (printed in 1594),
Romeo and Juliet 1594-95 (1597),
Hamlet 1600-01 (1603),

Coriolanus 1607-08 (1623), derived from Plutarch
Timon of Athens 1607-08 (1623), and
Macbeth 1611-1612 (1623).
Shakespeare's series of historical dramas, based on the English Kings from John to Henry VIII were a tremendous undertaking to dramatise the lives and rule of kings and the changing political events of his time. No other playwright had attempted such an ambitious body of work. Some were printed on their own or in the First Folio (1623).
King Henry VI Part 1 1592 (printed in 1594);
King Henry VI Part 2 1592-93 (1594);
King Henry VI Part 3 1592-93 (1623);

I have the opportunity to see Richard III on stage, which I'd very much like to do. However, I know that Richard III is part of a series, and I don't have to read all the other plays before I go to see it. Would my experience of the play be very much marred by the unfamiliarity with the rest of the series, or would I have just as fine an experience?...
Here is a youtube link to the earliest example of Shakespeare on film. It is the death scene of King John and the dying king is played by the great late Victorian actor manager. Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. It is a silent movie. You might think that Shakespeare without the words is missing something important, so maybe thats why Sir Herbert makes up for the lack of words by hamming it up as he writhes in every possible position. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXCvWkjCTvo&index=1&list=FLuG-5dh68weebY-JYzDGKjw...
On another thread this made me think Yes, Kate is a strong willed, spirited and witty woman (could Shakespeare create anything less?) Generally, yes. But there are one or two female doormats in Shakespeare. Coriolanus wife, Vigillia, is probably one although her problem isnt her unbelievably butch and driven husband, but her mother in law (who is also the root of Coriolanus butch pride). But the two that stand out to me are Ophelia and Gertrude. They appear to have no individuality at all. Thats probably why I find Hamlet over-rated no interesting women parts....

Hello, I am struggling very much with my thesis, in fact at his point I have no topic whatsoever. But it lead me to do a lot of thinking at least, I think the problem might be trying to find definete answers which Shakespeare seems to love eluding. So, in talking about Othello, how much should we blame him? Would Iago be able to convince even a not so jealous person, let alone someone like Othello, who is basically an outsider to society? Also what do you think of the inital way of Othello's relationship is presented with Desdemona. Do you think until Iago needles him around, Othello is obsessed with Desdemona's sexual nature? Or do you think he sees her more of a good time companio...

Thinking about what Coleridge has termed the motiveless malignancy, I was reconsidering Shakespeare's plays. What do you think about the seemingly motiveless (or at least losing the sight of their motives and destroying just for destruction's sake along the way) villains. The first in mind is of course Iago. I am also very interested in Don John of Much Ado. What do you think about them? Are their villain status really motiveless? Or do they have good motives? If so, do you think they lose sight of it along the way? What do you think this implies with regards to the nature of evil presented in the plays? Oh, this is in no way an assignment that I'm trying to do by the way. I have been ...
I have decided to write my thesis on the marriage of true minds through trangression in Shakespeare's plays.

It could be a negative example as well like when marriages or relationships are not based on that idea of marriage it proves disastrous.

Panajachel would have little to offer tourists if not for the lake. That's not to say that it would not be an interesting place to shop or to see local Mayan culture on colorful display, but without the lake, you wouldn't be here. The view of three volcanoes over placid azure waters is why so many people come. It's what brought the Cakchiquel and Tzutuhil people to the region thousands of years ago and it's what brought the Spanish here during their period of conquest over Guatemala. Locals still use the lake for subsistence, fishing and using it as the most important mode of transportation and even more importantly as the big draw for tourists who visit and support the local economy.

That right there, my friends, is by far the smartest thing I have ever heard.I love America
ten more reasons america is better than canada

I love how the Canadians call us arrogant and rude, and yet they generalize every single one of us.
And I love how the Americans can't get their facts straight.
Let's face it. Neither is better. Arguing about it on a FORUM isn't going to change anything. Sad, but true. Cry me a river, get a bridge, and get over it.
All of you, get over yourselves.

As much as I wish I could agree with you for defending Canada (which is still a more sustainable and reasonable country in many ways than America), most of these statements are wrong. We do have hurricanes on the east coast, and tornadoes in central and western Canada. We did have slavery (although it was abolished sooner than it was in the US), and we definitely had segregation (ever hear of Africville? Look it up, it's pretty horrifying). We do have September 11'th... it's a day of the year-- we also lost a few hundred Canadians on that day, so be respectful. We've also been targeted for failed terrorist attacks. We do have members of the KKK in Canada.
Canada has a lot of wonderful things, like universal (not free) health care, freedom to marry who you wish, a moderately functional system of government, politicians who don't accommodate the lowest common denominator, and, say what you will about stereotypes, but we are a genuinely friendly people. But don't delude yourself into thinking we're utopia... we have issues, just like everyone else. We just have them on a smaller, less destructive scale than our southern neighbours.
#975 Mar 2, 2012
Canda is a joke. They have a worthless army, who can't protect anyone. Canada it's not a pleasant place at all. America is the number one country in the world and who ever thinks differently can fight America about it and we will see who's better. People also believe Canada has free well fair, open your eyes and see there is no such thing as "free" it's called taxes dumbass.

Incidentally , it's spelled welfare you waffle engorged drooling dufus, not well fair. Go back and finish grade school before you make a bigger ass of yourself than you already have. And as for Canada being gay, we're all convinced that you can tell the flavor of a popsicle just by sitting on it.

Those weren't good reasons for y America is better the Canada. I'm from Canada and a young girl and know much better than to say my own country is better than another country. All of our country's have done horrible things in the past. Ex- America did slavery-Canada did not treat FN (first nations)/African people right. We have different goods and call things different. Canada- Smarties, Ketchup chops, Iced tea, Hockey pants. Us- Breezers(Hockey pants, bubbler(water fountain), frozen tea (Iced tea) were all different so stop saying AMERICA or CANADA are better cause your dead wrong all the country's are the same!!!!!!!

Canada has done pretty bad things and America isn't so good to big population to much pollution (have you seen California) so stop saying one country's is better than another.
#979 Mar 15, 2012
Just a few reasons why the US is the greatest country ever:
1. We're America.
2. We do what ever the hell we want.(Took out the british, Just entered WW2 and won it cuz we can, Went to korea and slaughtered millions then quit, created McDonalds so we can eat whatever the hell we want, we drive high mileage cars because they are cool, created as many weapons of destruction as we wanted, killed people in iraq and afganastan for oil, the list goes on...
3. We go into debt to other countries and not one of themcan do shit because we're badass.
4. We have the world's strongest military.(If you don't beleive it then how do you think we got into debt... certainly not from buying McDonalds)
5. We created Ford, Chevy, and Dodge.(best trucks)
6. We pay chinks to make our shit for cheap prices.
7. We have Chuck Norris.
8. We created the best guns.(Berrett m107, m16, m4, AA-12, Berrett m468, cheytac m200, the kriss super v, m134 volcan minigun, m60, m249, m240, that list also goes on.
9. We have better beer than Canada. We water it down so we have to drink more. In hand, this means we get to drink more beer. If I want alot of alcohol in my beer then I drink every bit but the suds, then fill it up with jack daniels.
10. We can trash talk anyone and back it up. F#ck Canada. They are nothing but a giant North Dakota. They overprice dairy products for no reason, their police look like a queen's guard from Britan, 75% of the world barely knows that they exist and the 25% that knows they exist sees them as an empty plot of wilderness that just sits there, canada's people are dumb as shit, and they could fight their way ut of a wet paper bag. All they do is bitch and bicker about problems, at least show some backbone.
11. Noone f#cks with us without dying.

ok , first of all we all know that canadians are polite and respectful and known as the "peace country" while america has to have war with every country. So canadians are better .
#982 Mar 23, 2012
I think that both sides arguing are using steriotypes. I have lived in many places, including the US and Canada. Canada IS a very nice place, but so is the US. Yes, there are crimes in the US, but who doesn't have crime? I live in Pennsylvania right now and I jog every evening BY MYSELF and not once have I been attacked or mugged. Were not all "Family Guy" people, just like Canada has overweight and slightly uneducated people just like the US. This entire argument is recidulous. Both places have faults, while both places also have areas in which they shine! And if you all look at some of the reasons you say the other side sucks, you'll see that the way you're arguing makes you look just as foolish as you think they look.

What decade of the 18th century do you hail from you uninformed, uneducated, uncommonly stupid drooling cretin? lol.. What an ingnorant bumpkin!

Tokyo saw as much as 27cm of snow, on par with last weekend's
snowstorms, which were the heaviest in 45 years.
ANA Holdings, Japan's largest carrier, said 338 domestic
flights and 12 international flights were cancelled on
Saturday due to the heavy snow.
In Kawasaki, west of Tokyo, a train crashed into another
after the snow rendered its brakes ineffective, leaving 19
passengers injured. It also snarled traffic on some of
Tokyo's most heavily travelled roads.
The heavy snow also caused wide-spread power outages.
Tokyo Electric Power Co Inc, which serves the nation's
capital and surrounding regions, said up to 246,000
households were without electricity at one point on Saturday.
As of 12:30pm on Sunday (local time), about 18,000 homes were
still without power, the utility said.

We booked this hotel for our 1 year wedding anniversary, the hotel organised transport from the airport and back again which was a little relief.
Upon arriving at the hotel we honestly thought where on earth did we book as the surrounding area is a little bit rough, but once you walk through the doors its like a little paradise with birds singing. We were immediately shown around by a member of staff which was great as you got a feel for the hotel, once in our hotel room we were offered fresh orange juice and Moroccan tea (both amazing)
We were looking for a relaxing get away and this is exactly what we found, the staff were very attentive and even tried to get you items of food that may not be on the menu (eg/ tomato and cucumber) We ate at the hotel 1 evening by the pool and again, the food was amazing, the bill came to around £115 for 2 people which include drinks. If you're looking for a nice meal you'll be paying around this anywhere you go.
If your looking for a relaxed break this is a great hotel and it's very close to the Jemaa el Fna if you fancy leaving the hotel although crossing the roads are a bit of a nightmare :)
Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- In the foot of the Koutoubia mosque, with its matchless landmark minaret and only 5 minutes walk from the Jemaa el Fna square, the Villa des Orangers offers an exceptional location to explore the medina.

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. - After four years as a professional angler on the Wal-Mart FLW Tour and Stren Series, Glenn Browne of Ocala, Fla., finally got what he has been wanting for a long time: a win.
After a disappointing catch of 8 pounds, 4 ounces Friday, Browne rallied back with 14 pounds, 12 ounces Saturday to win the Okeechobee Stren Series Southeast Division event with a four-day total of 60 pounds, 2 ounces.
"I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders," Browne said after collecting $25,000 cash and fully rigged Ranger boat. "I've made several finals in the FLW Tour and the Stren Series in the past, and I've always crashed on the last day.
"This morning at about 11 o' clock I hadn't caught much, and that crashing feeling began welling up inside me again. I thought I was going to have a meltdown. Then I caught a 6-pounder, and that sinking feeling vanished into thin air, my confidence returned and things started clicking - it's just an awesome feeling to finally defeat that crash-and-burn mental block."
Though Browne primarily used a Frenzy FD7-S crankbait to make the finals, he went to his confidence game today - pitching and flipping a big jig - to seal the deal.
"I have to thank my good friend and fellow competitor Rick Couch for this win," Browne said. "Not only does he custom make the 3/4-ounce black and blue jig I used to win, he told me about a big fish he missed in a reed patch during the tournament; I went there today and caught that big fish."
Brown focused his efforts all week in a canal located on the north end of the lake.
He started the tournament by cranking the edges of the canal where submerged rocks and cuts form points.
On day three his crankbait bite started to thin out, so he went to the jig today.
"The fish in there move vertically up and down the canal bank," he said. "Some days they are suspended in the middle of the canal, some days they relate to the points and breaks on the canal edge, and other days they pull right up on the bank and spawn around the reed patches. And that's how I caught them today: pitching Rick's jig to the shallow reed patches."
Grigsby charges, falls short
Wanting his first Stren Series win just as bad Browne was Chad Grigsby of Maple Grove, Minn.
When Grigsby stunned the weigh-in crowd with a mammoth 8 1/2-pound bass, it looked like the BFGoodrich Tires pro just might pull it off with his 15-pound, 5-ounce limit.
But in the end, Grigsby fell a couple of pounds short, taking runner-up with a four-day total of 57 pounds, 13 ounces worth $10,000.
He fished the southeastern end of the lake with a Berkley 10-inch Power Worm capped with a 3/8-ounce weight and tied to 20-pound-test Big Game line.
"I was fishing the outside grass lines where it's a little deeper," Grigsby said. "There were a lot more fish in shallow, but they were small and getting hammered by tournament boats. The bites were fewer and farther between out where I was fishing, but every now and then a great big one would bite."
Parker rallies to third
Matthew Parker of Whitesburg, Ga., brought in 15 pounds, 14 ounces today to round out his week with 55 pounds, 4 ounces for third worth $9,000.
Interestingly, Parker was one of the few anglers to locate solid keepers in the 3- to 4-pound range, and it was reflected in his consistent 15-pound catches every day except one.
"I was mostly fishing schooling bass that were blowing up on shad in cut-throughs or blow-throughs where the wind was generating current," Parker said. "I used a variety of baits including a ChatterBait, a big Pop-R and a lipless crankbait to catch them whenever they came up schooling."
Browning winds up fourth
Scott Browning of Franklin, N.C., finished in fourth place with a four-day total of 55 pounds, 3 ounces and collected $8,000.
Browning spent the week in the southeast corner of the lake fishing weightless watermelon Flukes around scattered clumps of grass. His biggest bass - a 9-12 on day three - came on a swimming jig.
"The key was to drift quietly and make superlong casts with the Fluke," Browning said. "I had one particular patch of grass that all the bigger fish came out of. If there was a small hole or pocket in the grass, that's what I aimed for."
Bass falls to fifth
Sam Bass of Section, Ala., finished fifth with a four-day total of 55 pounds, 2 ounces for $7,000.
Bass also spent the week in the southeast corner of the lake fishing outside bands of Kissimmee grass with Gambler Crawdaddies and 7-inch ribbon-tail worms, Texas-rigged, with a variety of weights to match the wind.
"I fished a 100-yard stretch of grass all week," Bass said. "I fished extremely slow - trying to move my boat as little as possible and making multiple presentations to the cuts and pockets in the grass."
Bass also used a Gambler Flappin' Shad and Zoom Horny Toad to catch several key topwater fish.
Rest of the best
Rounding the top 10 pros in the Stren Series Southeast event on Lake Okeechobee:
6th: Barry Isbell of Trussville, Ala., four-day total of 50-9, $6,000
7th: Robert Boyd of Russellville, Ala., four-day total of 46-9, $5,500
8th: Craig Dowling of Many, La., four-day total of 44-13, $5,000
9th: Clark Smith of Pell City, Ala., four-day total of 43-11, $4,500
10th: Michael Murphy of Gilbert, S.C., four-day total of 41-4, $4,000
The next Stren Series Southeast Division event will be held on Lake Seminole, Jan. 31-Feb. 3.

Résumé :
In "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" Ralph makes a friend. Stuck at a hotel for the weekend, Kevin lets Ralph borrow his toy motorcycle, and while out for a spin Ralph has a series of exciting adventures. Ralph returns for "Runaway Ralph" wherein he runs away from his home at the Mountain View Inn. But the Happy Acres Summer Camp is not what Ralph has in mind - lucky for him, his friend Garf is a friend indeed. In "Ralph S. Mouse," there are too many mice at the Mountain View Inn, so Ralph must leave. He persuades his friend Ryan to take him to school, where the fun and the danger begin.

Germany does not allow people who are not legally married to be artificially inseminated (unless you use a turkey baster at home). Hence, gay couples do not have access there to fertility treatments.
English is ubiquitous in science everywhere; has since at least the 1960s.
Fascinating comparison and contrast.
One note about the cars: While you may not have seen any hybrids--Europeans really don't understand our enthusiasm for the technology--I'm sure you saw tons of cars with diesel engines, since they make up the vast majority of cars sold in Europe and deliver mpg in the 30s to low 40s.
The key difference, as I'm sure you're aware, is that hybrids reduce toxic emissions while diesels--even the newer, so-called "clean diesels"--greatly exacerbate them, which means that European cities have some of the worst air pollution in the world. I know you're not a fan of hybrids, but surely you acknowledge the potential air-quality benefit, yeah?
Of course, they have real transit that's focussed on urban dense areas, so it's not such a big deal, right, OA?
Just like they're building a high speed passenger rail line from Morocco to France.
I don't think a reduced Anglo dominance of international science would be a bad thing. Having a lingua franca is obviously useful, but training the world's scientists to follow the US/NIH lead in research interests and priorities stifles other schools of thought.
Actually, even the small towns in Germany have good rail access -- even rural villages in Bavaria are connected with rail.
I saw only one Prius on a recent trip to Germany, but Germany produces a lot of canola-based biodiesel, and their climate is wet enough that they don't have to bleed dry their rivers to irrigate it excessively.
Everyone on Berlin was on bicycles when I was there, but it was summer. Rainy summer, but summer nonetheless.
Of course, they have real transit that's focussed on urban dense areas, so it's not such a big deal, right, OA?
Will in Seattle @ 3,
While its true that most of Europe has great public transit that we can only dream aboutand youd have to be totally mad to own a car in a city like say, Londonplenty of people still want and/or need cars. All you have to do is look at the eternally gridlocked streets to prove that hypothesis. Given that, the use of hybrids, and hopefully soon all-electric cars, is crucial as a tool for reducing air pollution.
Yet despite the fact that Germany taxes the Hell out of diesel and gasoline and massively subsidizes the train system it's still cheaper and faster to drive from Berlin to Munich or vice versa.
Original Andrew, You are D-U-M-B. Get your stats right before bloviating like Cliff Claven, k?
@ 10,
With an intellectual wit like that, you could write a Science Column! Genius!
It's true that my observation is based on my personal experience, but are you saying that the European cities' traffic-choked streets are proof that people don't want or need cars? Care to elaborate?
Take your medication, dude.
@2. Indeed, I can agree that the heavy particles from diesel exhaust are really awful for human health. Newer engines, like those in Germany, can do a very good job of reducing such emissions.
Most of the cars were stick shifts. That alone gives a significant mileage boost over slushboxes or CVT's, and doesn't require toxic battery packs.
Here's a fun tangential fact: Seattle has a pretty bad record for this type of air pollution, thanks to all the cargo container ships and China. Yes, about 30% of the air pollution in Seattle is blown across the Pacific. Wild.
@4. I actually agree with you. I found the Anglo dominance to be disturbing. Orwell had a good point; language determines thought, to some extent at least. Hence my (shattered) hope that science in Germany (or Italy or France) would be still conducted in the native tongue.
@12: Along with the language/thought thing is the issue of scientific fashion. Science is very bandwagonistic, and for good reason. You get a grant to research the topics you know best, which is what your PhD and postdoc advisor concentrated on. This is repeated everywhere, and if the primary source of education is the US you end up with a world of people working on stuff the NIH/US wants to fund. Maybe that's not a tragedy, but it's interesting to see the differences between US and Soviet science in the 70s and 80s. Because they had limited exposure to the West and relatively limited resources, the Soviets chose different problems to work on. This led to work that is complementary to (and often more clever than) stuff that was fashionable in the US at the time.
Lol, like they don't drive diesel cars that get around 80 mpg equivalent ...
And just won (today) the world Solar Power Housing competitition.
Results matter. Not you guys whining about how hard it is to deal with the reality that we have to do something about global warming.
Putting it off makes it worse.
A council of scientists and ethicists- sounds like someone has been listening to Bauman.
Dresden's currently and historically a pretty cosmopolitan place, and the Cell Biology Institute's faculty and directors include Americans as well as a wide array of Western and Eastern Europeans.
Deutschland ist wunderbar! Hoffentlich du hast späß gemacht in Deutschland! Ich habe nicht nach Deutschland gefahren, aber hoffentlich bald. danke und tschüß!
A diesel Honda? That gets 62.8 miles a gallon?
Feast your eyes on this, car technology and high-mileage nuts. It's a Honda Accord that runs on diesel.
Honda expects to bring the clean-diesel car to the U.S. by 2010. It gets 62.8 miles a gallon on the highway, but otherwise looks and feels like a regular Accord. At that mileage level, the car is about as "clean" as a new Toyota Prius. But if you run it on biodiesel, a form of diesel made from vegetable oil or animal fat, it would be even cleaner than a Prius (Priuses get 60 in the city).
The advantage of diesel cars, however, is that they pack a lot of power.
Genius here, thanks for the heads-up Andrew. I did take my medication, thanks, and I feel great! Care to make another science argument that you can defend?
@18: The other advantage of diesels is that they suck in cold weather.
I'd like to tell you a story about Germans and trains.
A few years ago, my manager and I went to a little town about 45 minutes away from Munich by train. ( We initially flew to Munich) The trains were clean, fast, punctual and cheap. We decided to go back to the big city, have a few beers a bite to eat and a look around. Beer and food were duly consumed and we made our way back to the station and found the correct platform. There came over the tannoy an announcement and there was a collective sigh and dropping of shoulders from the assembled crowd. " Can anyone explain that in English please?" said I. Several people could and did. There was a 'suspicious package' on the line we needed to use." Can you tell us how to get to ( insert little town here!). Not only could they but a spontaneous relay formed. One helpful German would take us to a train, speak to another helpful German who would not only tell us which stop to get off at, but would find another helpful German to get us to the next platform, and so on. We got back to our hotel, late but very impressed. Try doing that in any other major city where you don't speak the language. And the English they spoke was a sight better than many born to it. I want to go back for a holiday!

While the Youth Court granted the media permission to report
proceedings involving four of the Wanaka offenders, no
reporting is allowed of how other offenders were dealt with
by way of family group conferences.
Youth aid Constable Phil Vink, of Wanaka, was therefore
unable to say what went on in the Wanaka cases he was part
of, but he had this to say when asked the general question:
"Are family group conferences a soft option?"
"My opinion is it is very much not a soft option. It can be a
harrowing option in terms of facing up to a lot of realities.
"Fronting up to a victim is very hard to do in the flesh.
It's very easy to commit offences without thinking of a
"So I think it's an extremely valuable process in terms of
getting young people to understand that what they have done
is wrong ... to fully understand and embrace the consequences
and be committed to putting things right, rather than just
receiving a fine in court or some community work.
"I often see what's going on with an adult being dealt with
by the courts and the consequences are far less than if you
go through the youth [system]."

I may lose my license for up to 30 days so I was wondering what the process is for obtaining an OLL? Also, if I apply and the process is not complete before my license is suspended, will the suspension be postponed until I receive my OLL?
Debt Collection Attorney
You can't get an OLL. The occupational limited license requires that applicants serve a minimum of 30 days suspension before applying. Because you only have a 30 day suspension, you get your license back naturally before you are eligible to qualify.

You may not be eligible for an occupational license. You should discuss your options with your attorney

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's Attorney General's Office says it has received more than 1,500 complaints about gasoline price gouging.
That's just as of Tuesday morning.
Hillsborough County had the most with 138 complaints, followed by Leon County with 126.
The Economic Crimes Division will review the complaints, and provide another update in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, state agriculture officials said they would serve 16 gas companies with subpoenas after residents reported gas stations increasing prices in the wake of Hurricane Ike. Another four subpoenas would be served by the Attorney General's Office.

I Know oil pastel, graphite 30 x 11.25 inches 1995
I am from a family of six children. My mother was a career woman, one of those "super moms" who managed to take care of everything quite smoothly. My parents took an early retirement and, shortly after, my mother was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. She underwent a few months of intensive radiation therapy. Suddenly, she was the individual who needed to be taken care of. She had always kept her emotions to herself. Everything always appeared to be fine, whether it was or not. She wouldn't or couldn't talk about her feelings in any way other than positive superficial statements and would redirect personal inquiries. I felt compelled to make drawings describing my reaction to her and her condition. I wanted to reach beyond her "just fine" voice over the phone, so I awkwardly described a drawing I had just completed. This drawing represents hope (the top has little bits of illumination in the darkness) and fear (the bottom a swirl of stiff markings), the two blending, inseparable, in the middle. As I described this drawing to her, she agreed that was exactly how she felt. The subject was changed.

Here's all the details on the new film!
Here's all the movies you don't wanna miss!
The Best Kiss Category has become a fan favorite at The MTV Movie Awards.
Trainwreck, this summer's smash hit starring the your dream BFF Amy Schumer, is out on Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow, Nov. 10. In celebration of its release, we are giving away a prize pack that is anything but a hot mess.
When stoned out of your mind in Amsterdam, it's every man/woman/child for themselves.
If you thought Trainwreck was funny, wait until you watch the outtakes. …
The Illuminati? Amy Schumer and Bill Hader have no idea what you're talking about. …
A gunman opened fire at a Louisiana movie theater during a showing of Amy Schumer's Trainwreck, killing two people and wounding nine.
You know those people who chew with their mouth open, or spit when they talk/say words starting with the letter "p"? Yeah…well, they're nowhere near as bad as Jimmy Fallon and Bill Hader's gross (but hilarious) eating while speaking habits.
Amy Schumer is making the transition from fierce comedian to leading lady in the upcoming comedy Trainwreck, which she also wrote. In anticipation of its July 17 release, check out some of the funniest and boldest Inside Amy Schumer videos that prove Schumer doesn't hold back. …
Summer 2015 is shaping up to be the biggest and best time for the box office, and several of these hot 20 movies released in July are sure to be no exception.
Judging by what's been released thus far in June and what is to come, summer 2015 is set to be a season of blockbusters with something for everyone.
From comedies to dramas, horror films to animated ones for adults and children alike, here's a roundup of 20 movies being released in June, worthy…
Blake Lively, you've just been served. (And no, it's not a plate of freshly baked artisanal scones.)
Here's something for those who aren't so into Valentine's Day.
The first trailer for Trainwreck, a comedy about a woman who doesn't know how to be in a long term relationship, has been released.
Elle magazine celebrated the 21st annual Elle Women in Hollywood awards, presented by REVEAL Calvin Klein, at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills Hotel last night (October 20, 2014).
The event honored Elizabeth Banks, Annette Bening, Tina Fey, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Lange, Brie Larson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw for the creative contributions they have made…
Want to know what New York's hottest new club is?
Well you're in luck, because everyone's favorite SNL character Stefon made a must-watch return to the show last night. And boy, does he know just the place for you! (You're into asbestos, Cookie Crisp and after-hours bars, right?)
All week, Bill Hader has been hanging out on his old stomping grounds to prepare for his big return to Saturday Night Live. On Tuesday, NBC unveiled his promos for the show.
There's only one problem with the promos: it's too short.
House Pixar has made a lot of films that tugged at our emotions and (hopefully) made us better at feeling things.
Its latest movie should be no different. On Thursday, the world got a first look at Inside Out.
Young journalists take note: if you're interviewing talent for a movie he or she is in, watch the movie first.
Apparently, this is something foreign to Denver reporter Chris Parente, who talked to Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig about The Skeleton Twins last week.
It's Sunday! That means it's time for the funniest celebrity pictures of the week!
This week, we're bringing you 20 hilarious photos of your favorite celebs! We found photos of Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Reese Witherspoon that you need to see! If you're ready to check out these photos, take a look…

But Duy has been advising his followers to buy UGAZ all the way down from $26.
Nice call on UGAZ bake. I think Duy just had a bad call because the report came out with manipulated NG price. I have no doubt UGAZ will go back to 20s but don't know how low it will go before that.
It could make the 20s with cold weather, but 30s are out of the question. Winter is more than half over, so not much time to recover. Only 6 more weeks of winter.....
Bake, nice call on HLF, CRUS, MPEL.
Not to mention SPWR & BTU shorts:)
CRUS is a keeper.
Typically moves up into earnings.
They sell to APPLE & Samsung/Google/Android
yea i am in crus, so far so good. I like that its slow and steady. Soon I will change jobs so I need to stick with longer trades, this day trading stuff can be stressful, especially when you are down like 1K a day in NG ;)
yea yea, we get it now... after losing money. Should have stuck with DGAZ. Ouch.
Whats your thoughts bakedin? More pain to come on UGAZ or a pop tomorrow on the report?
Well, it's in a down trend, so i would sell any pop. They are keeping a tight cap on production or prices would be much lower. The U.S. has an enormous surplus of NG, so they must cap production to keep price artificially inflated.

(Robert) Vrocher says the idea to build this replica came from Makis Foropoulos, the head Chanter — or assistant to the priest — in the church. Foropoulos is a native of Patmos who moved to Mobile in 1967....Patti Panayiotou, a member of the church and also one of the volunteers credited for decorating the cave, has been to the actual site in Patmos."It looks exactly like it," Panayiotou said. "Except for the distance of the holes, which is due to the limited space."

Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men.
Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor.

With the start of the new year, we're planning to spend some time cleaning up the space. We'll be out at the space all afternoon on January 2nd, so if you'd like to come out and help clean up, stop by.
Linux Basics (August 2014)
This class teaches the basics of using a Linux system, starting with what Linux is, where it came from, and why you might want to use it. Continue reading
Networking Basics (July 2014)
Come out and learn basic computer networking skills!
The topics we'll be covering include:
- Network addresses
- Basic home network design
- Physical interfaces
- Wireless networking
- Debugging basic networking problems
What have we been up to this summer?
It's been a bit quiet around on the blog this summer, but that's mostly because we've been pretty busy. I thought I'd put up an update on what's been going on around the space.
We're always out at the space on Thursday nights for our public meeting, so drop on by! We had a lot of fun last week playing with some Tormach stepper drivers that Tom M. brought in, but every week brings something new and exciting.
We've been doing a lot with libraries all over the burbs. You might remember this thing that we built for Glen Ellyn Public Library back in May. In addition to that, we also do a lot of classes and DIY fairs.
This summer, we ran events at Bloomingdale, Glen Ellyn, Indian Trails, Winfield, Lisle, Addison, and at Lake Park High School. We've got even more events coming up in the next few months, at the libraries I mentioned before as well as Roselle and St. Charles.
Improving the space!
We're currently updating the back room, with the front room next on the list. There's been a lot of great discussion about what to do with the front room, and we've got a team working on getting it all done.
Paul R. did a bunch of work to rehab Prof. Braino's Enco mill, and it is now up and running. We're going to be offering a class to members this summer to get them up to speed on how to use the mill.
We've been a bit lax in getting classes scheduled, and we're trying to address that. We have a bunch of classes scheduled this summer, so check back for scheduling details once they're announced. Next up on the list are Electronics 101 and Basic Networking, both this July.
We've got a bunch of other topics coming up, here's a condensed list:
- Electronics
- 3D Printing
- CNC Machining with Shapeoko
- Networking Basics
- Running the Lathe
- Linux Basics
- Cloud Computing
- HAMP (see this for more info)
- Intro to Hadoop
- Running the Mill
- Using the RPi GPIOs
- Arduino 101
- Arduino Music
Let us know (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you've got requests for other classes, we'll see what we can do about getting them scheduled!
Electronics 101 (July 2014)
This is an electronics class for the absolute beginner – we will cover many basic concepts such as:
- Current
- Voltage
- Resistance
- Ohm's Law
- Power
- Measurement tools

Another makerspace serving the Chicago suburbs!
Our friends over at SpaceLab are running a KickStarter this month to raise funds to move into a more functional location.
SpaceLab started out as a co-working space, but they realize their members and the the south suburban community will benefit by adding the resources of a makerspace to their offerings.
Workshop 88 is thrilled to support SpaceLab's kickstarter! We were an early backer:

At Workshop 88 we believe that makerspaces and hackerspaces grow smartly by working with other like-minded people in our area. Please consider supporting SpaceLab and sharing their campaign with anyone you know! They are about 2/3 of the way to their goal as of this post. Help them get all the way there!
Introduction to Arduino class (Arduino 101) Wednesday July 2, 2014
Workshop 88 is offering our introduction to the Arduino platform at our makerspace in Glen Ellyn. This class is for anyone (member or non-member) who wants to learn how to get started with the arduino microcontroller, regardless of experience with programming or electronics. Class attendees will learn how to configure their arduino programming environment, how to design simple circuits for interfacing with the arduino and how to write simple programs to control the arduino. What is Arduino, you ask? From their home page:
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
If you need to get an arduino, please see the Workshop 88 Arduino Store. Sales from that store are fulfilled by amazon.com, and help support Workshop 88. Alternatively, you can order Arduino systems from several places, including Adafruit and Sparkfun. Both companies have lots of tutorials and howtos to get you started with Arduinos. If you're looking for a local source to get Arduinos, try Trossen Robotics.
What you'll get from this class:
In this class you will learn how to start programming in the Arduino environment including interacting with the inputs and outputs of the Arduino.You should bring: a laptop with the Arduino environment downloaded and installed, and your Arduino supplies. Please contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any questions.Image credit: By Linuswiki (Own work) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
Introduction to C programming
What will I cover (for sure)?
C – Kernighan & Ritchie style. Starting with variables (ch 1 K & R) and ending with functions (ch 4 K & R). We will also cover "printf" formatting (ch 7 K & R) 'cause you'll need that.
What should you bring?
Good: You don't need noth'n but paper and pen to take notes.
Better: You could bring a PC w/enough installed to create / run Arduino programs.
Best: You could bring a Linux PC with "vim"&"gcc" installed ready to write, compile and run example programs.
What might be covered (extra stuff)?
Depends on you. We could spend a few minutes to talk about basic computer hardware – before talking about C programming. We could spend a few minutes to talk about C++ – after talking about C programming.
Where will you use this?
Probably when you write stuff for your Arduino. But keep in mind C programming is found all over the place. Especially in Unix machines. That covers everything from an Apple/Mac computer to a Sony TIVO PVR. And learning C is a great way to get acquainted with other programming languages like C++ or Java. And, if you are going off to college, it's probably the programming language of choice in that CS101 course you'll need to take.
Audible Donation Box
Our local library recently asked us to help them out with their summer reading program, which is raising funds to support the Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
When a patron turns in a book they've read for the summer reading program, they get a token to drop into the box. Since the Willowbrook Wildlife Center rehabilitates native animals that have been injured, I thought that playing local native animal sounds would help create a connection between the program and the organization it is supporting.
Here's what the box looks like inside.
The speakers are driven by an Adafruit Music Maker Shield run off of an Arduino Uno, using the Adafruit VS1053 library. The token detection mechanism uses a high-intensity LED and a voltage divider, consisting of an 180 ohm resistor and a CdS photocell, to create an optical detector. The voltage across the small resistor is checked with an analogRead() in a tight loop to detect a token falling through the slot. Volume control is done through software on the VS1053, so I just hooked the sweeper on a 10K linear potentiometer up to a second analog input. When a token is detected, I play a random sound from the SD card in the background while continuing to check the volume control.
Here's the schematic and a breadboard layout. I've just shown the control circuitry, as the Music Maker shield should be pretty easy to hook up.
All of the code, these schematics, and a Fritzing file are available on Github. Pay particular attention to the pin assignments at the top of the sketch if you're using the Adafruit Music Maker board. They are hard-wired on the shield, but Adafruit's tutorial is based on their breakout board, which you have to wire to an Arduino yourself.
One thing I had to consider with this build was power. I initially powered the box off of 4 AA batteries, and it looked like it worked great. After a few days of testing, it started to act a bit flaky. After being on for about 10 minutes, the speakers would just play static. After some testing, I found that the supply voltage was too low, so I swapped in a USB power supply for the batteries, and it worked much better. Since this has to run all day long for a couple months, USB is a better solution anyway.
We're teaching a couple audio classes this summer, make sure to check back for scheduling details if you're interested in doing something like this project yourself!
Revamping Workshop 88
Spring is in the air, flowers are emerging, and Glen Ellyn is slowly climbing out of what has been an incredibly trying winter.
The new season has inspired us to take a new look at Workshop 88 and revamp our main room. While it's a homey basement that holds many fond memories, members have been encouraging me to come up with some new ways to change the space around to be welcoming to new members. I wanted to post some photos of the current layout so that we can work on rearranging some things.
Workshop 88 members spend so much time working on their projects and discussing new ideas that they don't pay much attention to the space around them; but space is important. Space communicates what we value, inspires our creativity, and develops our sense of belonging. Therefore, it is really important that we spend time recreating Workshop some in order to make our space more inviting.
What do you think we should do to revamp Workshop 88? Maybe some color? Reorganizing the layout? Please comment with your ideas!

When I login as a subscriber the hide menu button shows, but when I click it,the show menu button does appear so it gets stuck in hide mode and then the icons and the flyout menus don't line up.
Is this likely a plugin conflict? For me I would rather just disble hide menu feature. Another option in the settings? Thanks!
