Ivor Gurney
Ivor Bertie Gurney (28 August 1890 – 26 December 1937) was an English poet and composer, particularly of songs.
Born at 3 Queen Street, Gloucester in 1890,[1] the second of four surviving children of David Gurney, a tailor, and his wife Florence, a seamstress.
Gurney showed musical ability early. He sang as a chorister at Gloucester Cathedral, from 1900 to 1906, when he became an articled pupil of Dr Herbert Brewer at the cathedral. There he met fellow composer Herbert Howells, who became a lifelong friend. Alongside Gurney and Howells, Brewer's third pupil at this time was Ivor Novello then known as Ivor Davies. He also enjoyed an enduring friendship with the poet F. W. Harvey, whom he met in 1908. The most significant adult figures in Gurney's early life were the Rev. Alfred H. Cheesman, and two sisters, Emily and Margaret Hunt who nurtured Gurney's interests in music and literature. Gurney began composing music at the age of 14,[2] and won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in 1911. He studied there with Charles Villiers Stanford, who also taught Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Ireland, Marion M. Scott, Rebecca Clarke, Frank Bridge, Arthur Bliss, Howells and many others. Stanford told Howells that Gurney was potentially "the biggest of them all", but he was "unteachable".[3]
Gurney possessed a dynamic personality but had been troubled by mood swings that became apparent during his teenage years. He had a difficult time focusing on his work at college and suffered his first breakdown in 1913.[4] After taking a rest, he seemed to recover and returned to college.
Gurney's studies were interrupted by World War I, when he enlisted as a private soldier in the Gloucestershire Regiment in February 1915. At the front, he began writing poetry seriously, sending his efforts to his friend, the musicologist and critic Marion Scott, who worked with Gurney as his editor and business manager. He was in the midst of writing the poems for what would become his first book Severn and Somme when he was wounded in the shoulder in April 1917. He recovered and returned to battle, still working on his book and composing music including the songs "In Flanders" and "By A Bierside". Sidgwick & Jackson accepted Severn and Somme in July, with publication set for the autumn. In the meantime, Gurney was gassed in September the same year and sent to the Edinburgh War Hospital, where he met and fell in love with a VAD nurse, Annie Nelson Drummond, but the relationship later failed. There remains some controversy about the possible effects of the gas on his mental health, even though Gurney had shown some signs and symptoms of a bipolar disorder since his teens.[5] "Being gassed (mildly) [his parenthesis] with the new gas is no worse than catarrh or a bad cold," Gurney wrote in a letter to Marion Scott on 17 September 1917. After his release from hospital he was posted to Seaton Delaval, a mining village in Northumberland, where he wrote poems, including "Lying Awake in the Ward". His volume Severn and Somme was published in November 1917.
Mental illness[edit]
In March 1918, Gurney suffered a serious breakdown, triggered at least in part by the sudden breakdown of his relationship with Drummond.[5][6] He was hospitalised in the Gallery Ward at Brancepeth Castle, County Durham, where he wrote several songs, despite the piano sounding, he said, like "a boiler factory in full swing because of the stone walls".[7] In June he threatened suicide, but did not go through with it.
He slowly regained some of his emotional stability and in October was honourably discharged from the army. Gurney received an unconventional diagnosis of nervous breakdown from "deferred" shell shock.[4] The notion that Gurney's instability should primarily be attributed to "shell shock" was perpetuated by his close friend Marion Scott, who used this term in the initial press releases after Gurney's death, as well as in his entry for Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
Gurney seemed to thrive after the war and was regarded as one of the most promising men of his generation, but his mental distress continued to worsen.[5] He studied for a brief time with Ralph Vaughan Williams upon returning to the Royal College of Music, but he withdrew from the college before completing his studies. His second volume of poetry, War's Embers, appeared in May 1919 to mixed reviews. He continued to compose, producing a large number of songs, instrumental pieces, chamber music and two works for orchestra, War Elegy (1920) and A Gloucestershire Rhapsody (1919–21). His music was being performed and published. However, by 1922, his condition had deteriorated to the point where his family had him declared insane.
It has been speculated that Gurney's mental problems may have resulted from syphilis, contracted either while he was a music student before the war, or perhaps while serving as a soldier in France. Blevins, Gurney's biographer, however, concludes that he did not suffer from syphilis. The issue has also been discussed, more recently, by Cambridge academic and broadcaster Kate Kennedy.[8]
He spent the last 15 years of his life in psychiatric hospitals, first for a short period at Barnwood House in Gloucester, and then at the City of London Mental Hospital, Dartford, where he was diagnosed as suffering from "delusional insanity (systematised)".[9] Gurney wrote prolifically during the asylum years, producing some eight collections of verse. His output included two plays in Shakespearean style – "Gloucester Play (1926) and "The Tewksbury Trial" (1926).[10] During this time he appeared to believe that he was Shakespeare. He also continued to compose music, but to a far lesser degree. An examination of his archive suggests that up to two-thirds of his musical output remains unpublished and unrecorded.[11]
By the 1930s Gurney wrote little of anything, although he was described by Scott as being "so sane in his insanity".
Death and legacy[edit]
Gurney died of tuberculosis while still a patient at the City of London Mental Hospital, shortly before dawn on 26 December 1937, aged 47. He was buried in Twigworth, near Gloucester. The service was conducted by his godfather, Rev. Alfred Cheesman. Gurney was "a lover and maker of beauty", it was stated on his gravestone. (The stone was replaced after it was damaged — the original is now stored inside Twigworth church.) Marion Scott preserved Gurney's manuscripts and letters and worked with composer Gerald Finzi to ensure that his legacy should not be forgotten.
On 11 November 1985, Gurney was among 16 Great War Poets commemorated on a slate stone unveiled in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner.[12] The inscription on the stone was written by a fellow Great War poet, Wilfred Owen. It reads: "My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity." A memorial to Gurney was erected in 2009 near Ypres, close to the spot where he was the victim of a mustard gas attack in 1917,[13] and he has a blue plaque memorial in Eastgate Street in Gloucester.[14]
In April 2014, BBC Four broadcast a documentary about Gurney, entitled The Poet Who Loved the War, presented by Tim Kendall, which focused on how the First World War had in some ways helped Gurney through the periods of depression he suffered and helped him become one of the war's foremost poets.[15]
In June and July 2014 Gurney was the subject of BBC Radio 3's Composer of the Week, based on Dr Kate Kennedy's biography, Ivor Gurney: Dweller in Shadows, as part of the station's Music in the Great War series. The programmes included a number of Gurney's pieces, especially recorded by the BBC.[11]
Gurney wrote hundreds of poems and more than 300 songs, as well as instrumental music. He set only a handful of his own poems, the best known being Severn Meadows. His well-known compositions include his Five Elizabethan Songs (or 'The Elizas' as he called them) and the song cycles Ludlow and Teme and The Western Playland, both settings of poetry by A. E. Housman. There is something of Schubert and Schumann, but considerably less of the prevailing folk idiom of the time, in the intensity of his musical language.[citation needed]
Gurney is known both as a poet and composer and his reputation in both arts has continued to rise. Edmund Blunden, at the urging of composer Gerald Finzi, assembled the first collection of Gurney's poetry which was published in 1954. This was followed by P. J. Kavanagh's Collected Poems, first published in 1982 and reissued in 2004. It remains the most comprehensive edition of Gurney's poetry. Gurney is regarded as one of the great World War I poets, and like the others of them, such as Edward Thomas, whom he admired, he often contrasted the horrors of the front line with the beauty and tranquillity of his native English landscape – these themes were explored in the 2012 musical play A Soldier and a Maker.
Gurney set to music many of the poems of his contemporaries, as well as some by the older poet A. E. Housman. He composed settings for at least nineteen of the poems written by Edward Thomas and at least seven by W. H. Davies.[16]

Posts tagged with Big Data
Integrated Marketing Week 2013: Seth Sarelson on integrating with data
Data, data, data. It's the core of what good marketers are doing and it's fingers are reaching into every corner of the business. And with this data we are finally seeing the benefits of integrated campaigns, products and teams.
As part of the lead up to Integrated Marketing Week, we spoke to Seth Sarelson, RevTrax COO & co-founder, about how data is affecting what we are doing, how we can integrate and how these changes are affecting the retail market.
How to use Big Data to start small
The big promise of big data for marketers is to be able to use all the data we have. By looking at all the information, big data allows us to explore minute details without the risk of blurriness.
in theory, sampling (which always lost detail because it is a proxy for the full data set) and guesswork go away, we can analyse all the data for every customer and prospect, and provide that customer experience nirvana of just the right offer at just the right time.
If that feels like a big change for you, then start small. Attribution, one of the most persistent of marketing challenges, can be a great area to apply big data for immediate results, and ROI.
It's not the size of your data that counts...
It's how you use it. Big Data is today's marketing black, no doubt about it. But it's not as one pundit suggested "Big Data is just ordinary data with good PR" neither is it just the amount in your stash.
No, if you want to realise the massive/staggering/blinding difference data about your visitors can make to your marketing, business and profits you have to learn to wield it effectively.
So, having been given the opportunity to blog about data-driven marketing, data-privacy, and all things targeted, I should start by talking about what we mean by, and can do with, the Big Data bonanza that the online channel provides us...
The three steps to 'shareability,' sharing customer information within the firm
Multichannel marketing means being able to deploy not only campaigns but content across channels in an integrated fashion.
It is recognized that to communicate effectively across channels, customer information must be also shared effectively within the organization.
Data sharing was the a topic at Econsultancy.com's recent Big Data Roundtable in London in February. What is less well-known and understood is how to get to a shared data repository as an organization.
This blog post discusses my research results on data sharing. For more on the topic, Econsultancy has a great report on how to achieve shared data in a corporation.
A plea to all data geeks: speak human
An innumerate marketer begs the new species of click-sniffer to make a bit of an effort and translate your undisputed brilliance into some language other than Klingon or Ithkuil.
If you believe the bloggers (and who doesn't?), marketing departments all over the world are clearing out the desks of their PR, advertising and 'corporate communications' dinosaurs to make room for the new breed of data geek.
On the whole, that's good, but data is only useful if the lessons it provides can be communicated in terms that people can understand.
Statistical celebrity Nate Silver on data and marketing
Nate Silver is one of very few people who is both public figure and statistician.
He started in baseball during its analytical revolution, but became famous in the U.S. for his highly accurate predictions of how Barak Obama would win the presidency in 2008, and accurately calling the outcome for all 50 states in 2012.
Silver spoke at SXSW in a session entitled "Is Intuitive Marketing Dead?"
Five ways to become a big marketer and drive big results
In a world of buzzwords, perhaps the most over-used and under-explained term that marketers will be coming up against this year is "Big Data".
Big data, as we've learned from actually working with the stuff is realistically only the first part of the jigsaw when it comes to upping your game and marketing in a more agile manner that's responsive to the market you're serving.
We believe that it takes Big Marketers to unlock big data. People who are willing and able to look beyond the now bygone era of a "campaign" that has a start and end point and realise that digital marketing has become about responding to the fast pace of the internet itself, with equally fast and relevant decision-making.
In this piece, we discuss the kind of attributes a marketer needs to take themselves to the next level and employ a big marketing strategy that will not only set them apart from their peers, but help them to build knowledgeof how to take the rough diamond that is rawdata, and transform it to work best for your brand.
How big data is changing outdoor media
Seeing an ad outdoors has a greater impact on us than one served to our laptop or phone. We come across it, 'discover it' if you want to be properly cheesy, we trust it more, and the creative is tied to a more unique and memorable set of circumstances.
This is of course debatable; there are lots of caveats, but I believe it to be true.
Bear with me on this post, there is going to be some pontificating on a Brian Cox-esque scale (for non UK readers, he's a TV broadcaster who gets very reflective about the universe).
Five things every retailer should know about its customers
We live in an age of Big Data and more and more companies in a wide range of industries are making it a point to collect as much data as they can about markets, transactions, their website's users and customers.
When it comes to customer data, retailers are a blessed bunch because they have greater opportunities than many to collect this type of data.
Metrics: are you even looking at accurate numbers?
Thanks to the 'trackability' of digital media and the rise of Big Data, more and more companies are hoping that decisions they once made on gut instinct or educated guesstimates can and will be made on hard data.
Which, in theory, is a good thing: data-driven decisions should enable businesses to understand the dynamics in their market and use that knowledge to better serve their customers.
This week's top six infographics
Once again we round up six of the best infographics we've seen this week.
The topics include tech trends, Apple's cash reserves, big data, and the best ways to optimise your YouTube channel.
Are brands overestimating the value of social data?
Brands love social media, and as evidenced by the number of high-dollar acquisitions of social media monitoring and analytics firms last year, they love the data that social media generates.
And, on the surface, there's a good reason for that: popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter give brands a front-row seat to the collective conversation consumers are having about their products and services. From that conversation, brands may, in theory, be able to gain valuable insights that help them connect with consumers and serve them better.

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Puerto Rico"
Revision as of 17:48, 30 May 2006For future reference the Wikitravel:CIA World Factbook 2002 import can be found at Talk:Puerto Rico/CIA World Factbook 2002 import. ...we've got all the hot-button needs more information BITCH. issues covered. But of course I forgot Vieques! --Evan 15:01, 28 Jan 2004 (EST) Yes, this really doesn't even cover half of the story. Also, Culebra has a similar story, though the Navy left in 1975. I moved
to Vieques#Understand. -- Huttite 06:57, 20 May 2004 (EDT) Visit Culebra!Culebra is a "Must-See" for all of those who travel to Puerto Rico. It is a tiny little island off the East coast of Puerto Rico. You can catch the ferry at Fajardo. The ride is about two hours or so, and well worth it! Definitely head to Playa Flamingo, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Culebra is uncommercialized, there is no McDonald's or Burger King. If you want to get away from it all, Culebra is the perfect place for you. Guaranteed... Getting AroundI made a minor change to the section about needing to rent a car. If you're staying in San Juan, you don't have to get a car. My wife and I took the public buses (0.25 or 0.50) between our hotel and Old San Juan. A discussion of the bus system should probably go in the San Juan article, though, I suppose. Article is a messThis article is high POV. Is this US-Wikitravel or just plain WikiTravel? The article is written from a high POV, mostly written from a US travel perspective, there is no other perspective at all. Statements like:San Juan is not a safe area to venture out at night, nor are metropolitan area cities as well as the other big cities such as Ponce and Mayaguez. Women travellers should take extra care and always move around in a group and steer clear of Condado beach at night. A number of thefts take place on beaches, even in daytime. are strongly POV and instead of informing they are alarming, adding clichés and exagerating, they are short of saying this is the 'Island of Theft and flashy cars' which is not true at all.A mess. -- Vertical123travel 20:07, 13 Jan 2006 (EDT)
Get in by plane - too much info!Most of this I dont think is of much use, so Ive edited it out. This is the original text here (not sure where to put it) incase I get over zealous in editing it! Tsandell 15:25, 21 May 2006 (EDT) Getting to Puerto Rico almost always means flying to San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU). The gleaming white terminal located just east of San Juan is ranked 34th among passenger airports in the United States and its territories. U.S. Immigration and Customs Laws and Regulations apply. U.S. citizens flying between the U.S. and Puerto Rico do not need to pass through Immigration nor Customs. It is almost exactly the same as flying from N.Y. to Atlanta or Chicago... except you can't shop duty-free in Chicago before flying back to New York. Most U.S. and many international airlines offer direct flights to Puerto Rico, and making connecting flights is easy. SJU is one of the largest airports in the Caribbean and is a popular place for hopping over to the U.S. Virgin Islands and other Caribbean destinations. If you have lots of luggage, beware there are no baggage carts -- not even for rental. Baggage porters may be available to help you for a tip or fee. The only exception is at U.S. Customs on International flights from outside the U.S. Eventually you'll reach a sign where it says "No carts beyond this point," but it is not enforced, and someone sitting there may tell you so as well. Transferring from the airport to your hotel usually requires taking a taxi, although some hotels provide complimentary transportation to their properties in special buses. Puerto Rico Tourism Company representatives at the airport will assist you in finding the right transportation. Major car rental agencies are located at the airport, and others offer free transportation to their off-airport sites. Duty Free One of the interesting facts about Puerto Rico that might not be emphasized enough in travel guidebooks is that since Puerto Rico is self governing due to it's Commonwealth status, there are no federal taxes or import duties paid on on commodities like gasoline (about $0.50/liter for 87 octane in San Juan, as of 4/27/05) or rum. This might be an important consideration when planning how much empty luggage to bring, as a 750 ml bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label costs only $120 in the duty-free airport shop vs. $200+ on the mainland. Bacardi liquor brands are very inexpensive as well -- paying $8.00 for a 750 ml bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin can be something of a shock, after paying $9.00 for a single 4 oz martini of the same booze at La Guardia only 4 hours earlier. A 750 ml bottle of DonQ Crystal (the local favorite) is only $10.00 -- bring one home with you. From North America 2 ½ hours from Miami 3 ¼ hours from Atlanta 3 ¼ hours from New York City 3 ½ hours from Washington (D.C.) 4 ¼ hours from Toronto 4 ½ hours from Chicago and Dallas 7 ½ hours from Los Angeles From Latin America 1 ½ hours from Caracas 5 ¾ hours from Mexico City 11 hours from Sao Paolo From Europe 7 ¾ hours from Madrid 10 hours from Paris 10 ¼ hours from Brussels 12 hours from London |

: The Game. You just lost it. :
Unless watching anime is considered watching TV.
In that case, all of the time.
Ah okay, now that sure does sound interest game. Only thing I do watch from bbc, is top gear and skins. I just love Top Gear <3, the American version sucks in my opinion.
Kids next door, man I haven't seen that in ages. Also pretty much what they air over here, with their useless genres.
Whenever I watch tv with the bear, if we happen to catch it, we watch the Colbert Report. Adult Swim isn't the same as back then...so I don't even bother watching that
I happen to catch a show on Disney yesterday with my little sister ear. It's called Jessie, seemed pretty cool. But all the other shows just suck or I guess the Disney kid in me faded.
I know that feeling oh so much.
Awesome,by our my kind of person to watch programs with.
Speaking of cooking shows, I record a few shows. Like Chopped, Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Ramsey and that's pretty much it.
Lol, that is so true. I see mostly everyone is using pc and just streaming shows.
Hm, I see what you mean. I do catch myself eating while watching tv lol.
Hm, well if we were in Japan..then yeah it would be considered watching tv. But here it's more like online anime watching.
I hardly watch TV anymore (maybe discovery/natgeo). I do have a TV in my bedroom, but i only use it to watch anime, movies, shows (Arrow anyone?) comedy shows (love Gabriel Iglesias). When i do put on the TV, 99% of the time it's some lame gameshow of a singing competition..
I don't watch it, I used to when I was a kid although I think most kids would - like to watch cartoons
as far as TV channels goes, I only like the discovery channel
Strengthen & Keep Strengthening
Four score and seven years ago, I bought a plasma TV for the kitchen; never bothered to watch it, though. I left that house along with the TV and some bad memories. Now I have no TV and am fine with it, but when, on occasion, I get a glance at someone else's TV, I hate everything I see on it and can't help but rant.
It's because I know what TV was like in the past and am noticing how shitty it's become today.
I usually watch documentaries, the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, the History Channel and the Travel Channel mostly
Wolfie Dango ~*Red*~
Twin sister: Angella_Kagamine
I'm with you. I rarely ever watch tv any more. I would like discovery, history, that kind of stuff but don't like the price tag of satellite and we have no cable here. I did put up a pretty nice antenna on the roof so my wife would quite complaining - we do get a lot of over the air channels now everything has gone digital. But thats probably another reason I hate tv, she always has it on and usually all the silly 'reality' shows. About the only reality show I like would be something like high speed pursuit or the worlds dumbest criminals, I used to love those shows.
I did most of my anime watching on netflix, though I havent even done that in months. Not too many anime left on netflix geared towards the more adult crowd that I find interesting, and well lifes been busy lately so I dont think I have watched an episode of anything in 2013 yet. Maybe a movie once every couple three weeks.

The only time my tv is on in the bedroom. Is when I'm going to sleep, I have it as background noise.
I couldn't agree more on that notion. Trust me your not missing a thing nor would you ever need a tv. I miss the shows when I was growing up as a kid. I even miss going outside, kids don't do that anymore.
Haha, I'm on you with that about our significant other watching reality shows. Netflix pisses me off, they hardly update anymore. I use Hulu or crunchy roll to get my dose of anime.
Not a lot of good stuff on tv anymore. Most of what i watch now is random stuff on Smithsonian channel, Discovery, Comedy Central, Spike TV, History channel, Cartoon Network(mostly stuff on Adult Swim), Boomerang, and Teen Nick late at night. Other than that, i started to watch the show Top Gear, wrestling and the Speed Network more often. Recently i got myself one of those smart HDTV's, and i've been using my brother's Hulu plus and Netflix accounts to watch stuff. Only if they let you pay for the channels you want to watch, which would be great. But too bad it's only an idea that will never be.

So better stuff on Hulu? I was thinking about them but my wife had already got netflix and it seemed good until I've went through most I liked. About the update - actually the last update I saw they took away the ones I liked! They pulled Claymore but thats ok I saw the whole thing and have it on Bluray, but I was in the middle of Ghost in the Shell and its gone now! Still havent seen the whole 2nd gig.

Netflix spoiled me. I can't stand commercials anymore. Even the 15 second YouTube commercials get under my skin.
I don't watch it that much... only to get on and watch NCIS with my boyfriend and when the recordings pile up... or when Harry Potter is on.
I watch an unhealthy amount of TV haha. I always have it on in the background for when I'm doing something else. I mostly just record things that I want to watch, so I never really watch regular TV with the commercials. Other than that I just go on Netflix. I mostly just watch cartoons, fantasy, sci fi, comedy, and rarely a reality show. I mostly just rewatch a bunch of my favorites on Netflix though.
I've never been much of a TV person, unless it was Adult Swim.
Lately, though, I've been at home with a broken ankle so I've been watching TV like it's going out of style. It's usually History, Discovery, or Comedy Central. Then, at 10PM, I switch to Adult Swim and that's how I spend the rest of my night, especially when Toonami is on.
I don't watch TV.

When TruTV airs those most shocking videos shows i can watch like 10 mins of that until i get bored of watching footage from 15 years ago. some of the stuff theyll show really is crazy tho
Ditched it in a ditch. Not worth the money. Just pay thirty dollars for Netflix and Internet. For the shows you want to watch and aren't on Netflix you can just buy the season DVDs/Bluerays and still come out with a ton of money to spare. Cable needs to die in a fire.
i think it will still take awhile to truly supplant live television. sports fans especially will be the last to change. you ever look at the rates ESPN charges per subscriber? astronomical compared to the other cable channels. why? because ESPN airs the most live events/programs of any channel bar none. Also look at advertising rates (especially since DVR) live events make waaay more from adverts than their canned friends. People dont Tivo their favorite football team but theyll Tivo the walking dead every week.
you know the world really would be up the creek without a paddle if for some reason all of these new devices that can connect via Wi-Fi were just suddenly destroyed, broken, gone forever. no one would know what to do (myself included). I watch some TV, mainly History, Comedy Central, Adult Swim (when they bring Toonamie on, so freakin glad they had the brains to bring it back) and that's about it. other times im either playing a video game, working on my computer, or watching a movie with my wife.
Idol is not live in anyway shape or form. Live television is live. not pre recorded like American Idol or any of those Network programs. Just because they call it reality tv does not make it live television.
And I didnt say you had to watch sports or any of it at all. What are sports fans going to deal with exactly? Might i suggest you are the one who is going to have to "deal" because cable companies arent going anywhere any time soon.

In September 1962, shortly before the opening of the Second Vatican Council, Pope John XXIII learned that he had inoperable cancer. Throughout the first session of the council, he knew that his life was drawing to a close.

At the end of the first session of the Second Vatican Council, the council fathers went home with a mixture of exhilaration and frustration. The bishops had come to understand their authority and responsibility for helping the Church to define itself and its mission to the modern world.
In last week's article, I referred to Pope Benedict's analysis that some people have presented the Second Vatican Council as a break with the Church's past. He maintains that the council was a council of reform in continuity with the tradition.
In his memoirs, Joseph Ratzinger, a young theologian advising Cardinal Josef Frings at the Second Vatican Council and who is today Pope Benedict XVI, recalled the atmosphere in Germany when he returned home after each of the four sessions of the council:

This comedy offers yet another sanitized and very loose adaptation of Mark Twain's dark satire A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. This time, the story centers on Calvin Fuller, a nerdy young adolescent living in Reseda. The gangly, unsure youth is first seen standing at bat, ready for yet another strike out. Suddenly a terrible earthquake hits and as the others run for safety, the hapless Calvin is swallowed up in a gaping chasm. He falls and falls until he finds himself landing on the head of a...more

Tulisa has gotten into the Scottish spirit by donning a tartan top as she checks out the Glaswegian talent for the X Factor.
She joined her fellow judges at the SECC in the latest of the first round of auditions.
The chart-topper teamed her red, white and black tartan top with a leather bolero jacket, peplum mini-skirt and trademark towering heels as she braved the Scottish weather.
A cheery Louis Walsh was back on the panel after his whistlestop trip across the Atlantic to act as a stand-in judge for the US version of the shows.
Gary Barlow arrived looking relaxed in a finely striped blue and white double-breasted jacket.
And they were joined by the latest guest judge, US singer Anastacia. The I'm Outta Love star follows guest judges such as Geri Halliwell, Rita Ora and Leona Lewis who have taken a turn in preparation for the next series.
Show bosses are still to appoint a permanent fourth judge to replace Kelly Rowland.

Guiche's not in the OPwww Poor guy
Spoiler for episode comments:
Overall, this episode can probably be said to be a prep episode used to connect the first season with vol.4 of the novel, which will most likely begin starting episode 2. The quality overall is good. Louise and Saito are still as funny as ever. Siesta's chest is also growning larger every episode... |

A great start for ZnT 2 Like the general consensus here the opening is much better than ZnT 1. Saito is Saito, but Louise is

Ahh...So it does follow the novel somewhat after all.
Saito's back to his old tricks again. I do find it somewhat down that it will just be another 12 episodes. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Saito and Louise's antics though, and also more of Agnes as well. The only thing that perhaps wouldn't have me jumping for joy is the feeling that Siesta might get shafted. Spoiler:

I just watched ep1.
The ending song might as well become the "Anthem of Tsudereism", such are the lyrics in that song. Otherwise, this is indeed more of the same from the 1st season, which is a good thing. Saito seems to be extra=perverted though. Or maybe its just the glasses that alerts everyone to his ecchi thoughts. It is also nice to see Siesta and Henrietta back. Too bad Kirche did not do much in this episode, beyond providing an excuse for Saito to be blasted by Lousie. The Louise and Saito SM scene takes the cake for this episode. That one had me laughing for a good minute. XD

Bored and Lurking ~
Finally found time to see this ep and I must say I'm surpised on how good it turned out to be.
I can say that I'm never tired of tsundere interactions between Louise and Seito. Seito sizing up targets is a win, however Momo and Tabitha is a surpise. Agnes is not what I made out to be, since I thought of her character setting as a bit (a lot) more darker. I wonder given her current personality will the 2nd half of vol 6 on the Academy side is even going to be animated. Given this is a bridging Ep it is done quite well, and tied up few loseends that season one left open. And we jump right it to action of Last chapter of volume 4 with next Ep, which should be great |

That scene where the knight/bodyguard comes with urgent summons was too much. I'm tempted to get that image of Louise as a new avatar. That must have been quite a night. If they don't resolve things properly soon, it's going to become a question of whether Louise gives up and settles for being the dog's favorite ... nevermind, or whether Saito starts to learn to enjoy this treatment. It certainly looks like Louise is enjoying it more. This is the first time I know of where she appeared to have been so fierce that she whipped his AND HER clothes to shreds...

poor Saito, where in first season, he was allowed to look/befriend with any girl except Kirche, but this season it's only his master.
I really wish they could follow the novel more closely this season, there is so much material the show could run 50 more episodes without any fillers. nevertheless, the show still put a smile on my face, and that's all it matters for this kind of show |

Overall i loved ep 1, i thought the end was really funny when saito and louise are in an suggestive position. But man Louise has quite the temper, she beat that Saito up from night to dawn lol BTW i love the new OP, not so much the ED though =P Last edited by rimaa; 2007-07-09 at 14:45. |

It seems like only yesterday when Haiku was nothing more than a mere promise. Oh how the times have changed, as evidenced by yesterday's news: Colin Guenther has ported the FreeBSD WiFi stack to Haiku, and managed to get a connection, browse the internet, and download a large file.
Thread beginning with comment 373254
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.

So I was wrong that Haiku is dead. I don't know why but there are many negative impressions about Haiku in the Internet and reinforce the fact that the Haiku Project is hypothetically dead. My goodness, they need to straighten up the facts.
Who are these "they" you speak of?
If you point me to some of these "negative impressions" I can certainly do whatever I can to correct them.
Most of the "Negative impressions" I have read are usually Linux-zealots who denounce any project that isn't Linux - mostly because they feel it's a waste of time/effort, or disagree with the motives behind the project and/or the license choice. Most of what I find, though, is extremely positive.
Feel free to email me privately if you want to send me some links - my osnews nick at gmail.
FWIW, Haiku will be showing at OSCON2009 and OpenSource World 2009 this year - feel free to register at either of those expos (should be free for the expo hall) and hang out and chat about the project. We'll be glad to show you live in person how un-dead Haiku really is
You need a new marketing department.
Even for someone a bit interested in the project as me it sometimes seems the project is at a standstill. The only news on the project homepage was for a long while "Google summer of Code" related, as important as that might be (I don't really know), it doesn't say much about the progress of Haiku.
I am sure much info is in the air on the mailinglists, which I followed for a while, but I really think you need to advertise all small improvements on the front page, or at least as a news ticker or something.
Looking forward to that installable Alpha / live CD.

Two new matches have been announced for UFC 146 after injury has once more rocked the card.
Roy Nelson will now go toe-to-toe with Dave 'Pee Wee' Herman in a heavyweight battle, after being originally slated to take on Antonio 'Big Foot' Silva. Silva was then moved up to a fight with Cain Velasquez, only for Silva's replacement Gabriel Gonzaga to withdraw with a back injury.
Herman will go into his third UFC match against Nelson with a 1-1 record, having previously downed John-Olav Einemo via TKO at UFC 131 in June, and losing to Stefan Struve in the same manner at a UFC on Fuel TV event in February. Ultimate Fighter season 10 winner Nelson, whose last match was a loss to Fabricio Werdum at UFC 143, concedes some five inches in height to Herman.
The other change to the line-up sees Jamie Varner make his return to UFC. The lightweight fighter and former WEC lightweight champion has been signed to replace Evan Dunham and take on Edson Barboza.
Barboza is 4-0 since debuting in UFC last March, and 10-0 overall in MMA, with Terry Etim, Ross Pearson, Anthony Njokuani and Mike Lullo among his UFC casualties. Varner sports a 19-6-1 record and is 1-1 in UFC. His last two matches ended in victories, submitting Drew Fickett in February, and beating Nate Jolly in October at the XFC 14 Resurrection event.
UFC 146 will emanate from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 26th 2012.

Editor's Note: Shea Serrano is an award-winning music writer and goofball whose recent exploits include Bun B's Rapper Coloring and Activity Book. In his new column, he writes about his life and times.Image at flick/Waiting For The World. Illustration by Shea
Perhaps you do not know this, because you do not follow weather trends of the Southeastern United States, but my native Houston has been getting properly pummeled by Meltankos (Norse God of Ice, obviously). A nasty frost closed all of the city's schools and many of its businesses last Friday. The roads were so treacherous and lethal and unforgiving that, even despite the limited traffic, there were more than 500 accidents.
But the front moved in and out quickly. By Saturday (Friday evening, to be more accurate), it was safe to move around again. By Sunday, it was downright pleasant. And by Monday, the schools were fully operational. At least they were, until one of my six-year-old sons called God.
Monday evening after school, word began floating around that another blast was heading our way, that it was likely to handicap everything and everyone again. So we waited for an announcement from the district that they were going to close again, fully expecting to have to wait until 5 a.m. the morning of to finally hear, which is how it happened on Friday.
At dinner time, I asked Bay, one of my twin sons, if he wanted to miss school again. He was like, "UM, HELL YEAH I DO, DADDY."
So I said, "You're cool with God, right?"
He said, "Yes I am very cool with God." Since the very first day that Wife took our kids to church, Bay has seemed more instinctively in tune with religion than basically anyone I've ever met.
I said, "OK, good, me too. So why don't you call your homie God tonight when you go to sleep and ask him to push his thumb on Houston and shut it down?" He said, "Sure, Daddy," and he said it like he knew he could. I smiled.
At exactly 9:37 p.m., one hour and 37 minutes after we'd sent the boys off to bed, the phone rang. I picked it up. It was an automated message from the school district letting me know that schools were closed the next day and blah blah blah. I quietly celebrated by doing Ginuwine body rolls in the front room while Wife sat on the couch looking at me. And then there was creepiness.
I heard teeny-tiny footsteps coming down the stairs. This was maybe one minute after I got off the phone (that he couldn't possibly have heard ring because it was on vibrate). It was Bay. "Daddy," he said. "I called God. He said he'll make sure we don't have school." WHAT THE HELL, BRO??? WHAT EVEN???
I can tell by the fact that you are still reading this that your eyes did not explode out of your skull, which means you're not as blown away by this as you should be. But, I mean, how do you explain it? It was a true-life miracle.
Bay asked if, since there was no school, they could come back downstairs and stay up for a little bit and watch TV, and I said yes because you're crazy if you think I'm going to pickle God's favorite six-year-old. We ended up watching videos on YouTube because we always end up watching videos on YouTube. Here's what they picked:
"Happy," Pharrell
The boys have liked a lot of songs, but this is maybe the best that they've ever chosen (second place: when they were three and ended up falling for SPM's "Screens Falling," mostly because they thought the chorus was "cheeeeeeeeeese falllllllling from the sky").

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Judith A. Lewis: Register columnist Joseph Perkins believes no one should have the right to assisted suicide ["Soft on assisted suicide," Columns, Jan. 25]. He criticizes prosecutors for their lack of harsh punitive action for compassionate acts of assisted suicide. From his column, it seems he would support punishing, to the full extent of the law, those who act out of love and loyalty to respect someone's end-of-life wishes.
I, as a senior citizen, support legalizing assisted suicide in cases where death is imminent from a terminal illness. In addition, I and many seniors believe advance directives should legally authorize compassionate euthanasia when we no longer have our faculties or have lost the ability to care for ourselves.
We oppose a theocratic government that denies us that choice because of the religious beliefs of others. The notion of "sanctity of life" comes out of religious beliefs that God decides when one should die. Most people with those religious beliefs have no problem, however, with medical interventions to prolong life.
We seniors witness Alzheimer's and dementia patients living nearly comatose for years in nursing homes or needing the full-time care of family. Families and patients suffer. We would never voluntarily want to live like that. We care about the quality of our lives. We don't want our families to have that emotional and financial burden.
Isn't this more "nanny government" interfering in our lives? We don't want to be "takers." We don't wish to bankrupt our government's social programs or impoverish our grandchildren.
Legalization of compassionate assisted suicide and euthanasia must include safeguards. It must clearly be an individual's personal choice. Health care should not ration care for the elderly who, for either personal or religious reasons, want to continue living. But, for those of us who believe that we have free will, a choice to end our suffering should be legal and available.
WESTMINSTER, T. Jeske: I'm afraid I don't quite understand the objections to assisted suicide in Perkin's column. It'll soon become fairly commonplace.
After all, President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act will have a "death panel" that will prescribe assisted suicide on a regular basis as they ration the proper medical care for older, infirm members of our society. This in order to save our government money so they can give billions of dollars to countries all over the world that hate us and endeavor to think up ways to kill us. It is unbelievable.

Rayman: Origins introduces players to a fairly similar layout that most other platforming games adhere to before the action even starts. Stages are broken down into individual levels, with each level having an overall theme guided by the very loosely related plot. As Rayman travels from zone to zone, you will be treated to a fairly wide variety of locations, each one just as exotic and strange at the last. And they're filled with some creative and interactive level design.
Platforming is all about the fine details and its in those details that Ubisoft has made this game really shine. The first thing that you will notice is how well paced all of the levels are, and how much freedom you have in exploring. Though each stage is fairly linear there are plenty of secrets about that require a bit of extra thinking in order to reach. Hidden walls, lowered platforms, and the usual pits that aren't quite bottomless are all featured, and each hidden room holds a short puzzle that unlocks bonuses for the level. The more hidden areas players find, and the faster a level is completed, the higher a score they'll get, which grants access to new costumes and character skins. It's a straightforward setup that's easy enough to explain, but doesn't really become impressive until you've played the title yourself.
From an adult perspective just about every level is easy enough, but Rayman: Origins is clearly a title meant for kids first and foremost.
There can only be so much puzzle solving before anyone gets tired and looks forward to action, and likewise too much action means it may be underperforming as a genre. The balance between both styles of gameplay are handled beautifully. Players will find themselves smashing enemies, jumping from gap to gap and swinging off vines to avoid baddies while at the same time keeping an eye out for anything unusual.
Enemies in the game are a general weak point, as most can be dispatched with a quick punch or a well timed stomp, which is good because attacks in-game are fairly limited. Punches can be charged up to deal quite a bit more knockback with more range, and what's essentially a ground pound gives players a bit to think about when they cross over visibly rickety bridges or weak looking bricks. It's standard fare for most platform games but these are the obvious things that so many gamers take for granted. Coupled with these usual tools players learn how to glide, shrink themselves, and run up walls amongst other tricks.
The real treat to any platform game is the sense of discovery that it gives, challenging players to learn about the world enough to explore its every facet and find new and exciting parts of the environment. This is just as powerful a motivator as getting a new move or learning a skill. To that effect Rayman's world is a slave driver. Everything from the foreground to the backdrops are absolutely teeming with life and detail, giving players a visual treat as they move from level to level. Much of the fun in Rayman: Origins is in fact finding new worlds and seeing exactly what the developers will come up with next, and very rarely are there any disappointments. From lush jungles to ocean floors, an undead kingdom or the stomach of a dragon, there's always something new to look forward to.
Even better is that the entire experience is one that's only made more interesting by adding additional players. Enemies become targets for points-hungry players, and though many puzzles and secrets can be easily bested alone, they are made into a frenzied competition once two or more players enters the mix. In a way it also makes the game easier, but if it's challenge players are strictly looking for they're best searching elsewhere. Rayman is fun and its decent collector-based replay value more than makes up for any difficulty curve the game lacks.
The general sound effects in game offer a fairly straightforward engagement, which is disappointment in a way considering how top notch all of the art and design is. There's nothing here that will be making you reach for the volume button in anguish, but given how high the bar was set in every other aspect of the game one would expect something a little more.
Rayman: Origins represents the best of platforming that many other developers have tried and failed to successfully accomplish. It's genuinely fun without feeling as though it's blatantly stealing from the plethora of solid indie and mainstream titles before it, a unique experience that kids (and adults) should have a lot of fun with. It's not the lengthiest ride, nor does it hold much for completionists get excited over, but as a family/multiplayer title Rayman: Origins not only meets expectations, but surpasses them with ease.

PROVIDENCE – Many of Rhode Island's school districts receiving the highest level of funding per student are among the districts with the lowest return on investment, according to an analysis of 7,000 districts nationwide by the Center for American Progress.
The study was restricted to districts that offer K-12 schooling with at least 300 students who took state reading and math assessments during the 2010-11 school year. Twenty-seven districts in Rhode Island were evaluated in the report and assigned an ROI rank based on academic achievement and spending data from the National Center for Education Statistics.
Of the 10 Rhode Island school districts with per-student expenditure above the $14,148 average, eight districts are rated as giving poor return on investment in terms of academic achievement. Newport, the district with the highest per-student expenditure at $18,062, ranked in the lowest ROI index level, along with North Providence, with per-student expenditure of $14,776.
Conversely, the districts with lower school dollars spent per student achieved higher ROI for student performance. Thirteen of the 17 districts with per-student expenditure lower than $14,148 were ranked as giving mid-to-high ROI. Nine districts achieved the highest possible ROI, including Cumberland, the district with the lowest per-student expenditure at $10,732.
To view the complete listing of Rhode Island districts assessed in the report, visit http://interactives.americanprogress.org.
The Center for American Progress report, produced annually since 2011, aims to highlight the issue of fiscal accountability in America's public schools.
"In education, we simply have not had a national conversation about what bang we get for our education buck," the report stated. "But given current trends, such as low revenues and increasing academic demands, we cannot continue to put off this conversation. … Fiscal accountability is central to our public education system, and educators need to spend school dollars well, if they want more school dollars."
Ken Wong, an education researcher cited in the report, pointed to Rhode Island as an example of a state that has made significant reforms to the school system to improve educational return on investment.
In 2010, to address a chronically inequitable and ineffective funding system, the state reformed its school funding system to require districts to enact a uniform chart of accounts and tie fiscal data to school programming. Under the new system, Wong said, "district and state policymakers will be able to compare, for example, how a particular district or school is spending their state and local dollars to support math or reading learning."
In addition, Rhode Island is one of only a few states that take a weighted-student, funding-based approach to education, in which money is distributed to schools based on student need. Such an approach helps to improve transparency, Wong said, and creates incentives for schools and districts to receive children from at-risk backgrounds.
"When it comes to productivity, the Rhode Island reforms offer an important lesson that robust fiscal data alone are not enough," the Center for American Progress report stated. "Expenditure data also need to be connected to information on practice, programs and student outcomes."

CETIS / CIePD Special Interest Group - event
11th December 2012, 10:00 to 16:00
Hashtag: #cetisfloat
The Senate Chamber, The Trent Building, University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD
We are witnessing major change in the educational and economic landscape. High fees, unemployment, new working patterns and of course, the need to demonstrate 'employability'.
At the same time, new practices and technologies are emerging. For instance, Massive/Little Open Online Courses (M/LOOCS), big data, semantic web and Open Badge technology together with a major shift in digital culture - all offering opportunities for learners to access learning in new ways.
The aim of this event is to explore these opportunities from the viewpoint of the learner/individual and develop the community of interest around these areas:-
There are other communities, in CETIS and elsewhere, either focusing around institutional concerns and needs, or around facilitating the discovery and use of learning resources. But the e-portfolio community, including the CIePD as well as people from JISC and CETIS, has been where the needs of the individual learner have been most prominently discussed. This meeting is partly intended as a gathering point for the ongoing community of interest and practice around supporting learners of all kinds and at all levels, using technology focused around individual needs.
We are privileged to welcome Doug Belshaw from Mozilla to introduce Open Badges and to run a Badge design process workshop.
10:00 Arrival and refreshments
10:30 Welcome and introductions
10:45 Doug Belshaw, Mozilla (intro to badge + badge design process)

Joe Perry may hate "American Idol," but he probably doesn't mind the boost its giving to sales of Aerosmith music.
Last fall, when bandmate Steven Tyler signed on to judge the retooled singing competition, the outspoken guitarist insisted "I don't want Aerosmith's name involved with (the show). We have nothing to do with it."
Perry accused "Idol" of being "one step above the Ninja Turtles" and even threatened to replace the band's biggest star.
That, of course, was before Tyler, 62, became the show's breakout personality – endearing the legendary band to a largely new fan base.
Liv Tyler Hooked On Watching 'Idol' Dad
Last week, Aerosmith's best-of CD "Big Ones" ranked #92 on iTunes and their 1998 power-ballad "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" had shot all the way back up to #22. The band's anthem "Dream On" reappeared twice – at #77 and #115.
"Steven Tyler is such a character on the show, and that's sure to boost interest in his work," "Idol" biographer Richard Rushfield told Fox News.
"Just like we've seen in the past, when people appear on 'Idol,' it gives their sales a bit of a jump. Clearly, (Tyler's band mates) didn't see the potential that being part of the show could have for the band in a positive way."
Curiously, the extra exposure has not produced similar good luck for fellow judge Jennifer Lopez.
As of Monday, none of JLo's CDs or singles ranked among the Billboard Hot 200 and her films – which include "Monster-in-Law" and "The Wedding Planner" — were absent from the Netflix Top 100 chart.
No worries, Idol is reportedly giving her 12 million other reasons to smile.

Toshiba Unveils Portege Z830 Ultrabook Series
Subject: Mobile | September 2, 2011 - 01:08 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: z830, ultrabook, toshiba, sandy bridge, portege, Intel
There has been quite the buzz over ultrabooks for the past few weeks, and it seems as though Toshiba is ready to grab their slice of the news pie (actually, can we have cake?) with the announcement of their Portege Z830 series of, you guessed it, ultrabooks.
Powered by Intel Sandy Bridge processors, the ultra (slim) book is housed in a magnesium alloy chassis measuring 15.9mm (0.63 inches) thick. Slated to be 20% lighter and 40% thinner than their previous ultraportable Portege R830 series, the company has reinforced the chassis with a honeycomb ribbing (I'm sure Josh is making a joke out of that right now) and some new internal shock dampening structures. The company stated that the Z830 would weigh less than 2.5 lbs, though the number may vary depending on the specific configuration. Because the notebook is so thin, they needed to go metal for the chassis to prevent serious warping and bending of the computer (and is coincidentally one of the items that caused manufacturers to complain about the sub-$1,000 requirement). Other chassis features include a full size LED backlit and spill resistant keyboard.
Other hardware details about the computer are scarce in that Toshiba has not released much. The ultrabook will contain a 128 GB solid state drive and DDR3 memory. From photos of the ultrabook, the computer supports (likely Gigabit) Ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports. Stereo speakers by Waves Audio, Toshiba's High Speed Start and USB Sleep and Charge technologies are also featured.
The Protege Z830 ultrabook series will be available in November 2011, and will carry a MSRP of less than $1,000 USD. Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more ultrabook coverage.

I have been wrong all along about my approach to historical issues. It is now obvious to me that it is necessary to exclude relevant evidence so that you don't become overwhelmed in a mire of facts. It is now obvious to me that what I believe to be true is far more important than what the evidence tells me, because my personal experiences and insights are far more important than tangible proof. Not to mention, that undefinable spiritual dimension to all things that tell me I am right about everything even if everything pertains to my fetishizing and demonizing the real conspirators of history: the German people, individually and collectively. Yes, you read me right: I now no longer believe in the Second World War. Using the tried and true methodologies of Revisionist historiography, I can prove that this World War II stuff is just a lot of hogwash. Consider if you will the following population figures from the World Almanac: 1935 65,306,130 p. 648 1947 69,622,213 p. 471 So far from losing any citizens during World Hoax II, the population of Germany grew by an astonishing 4,316,083!!! You may think I am joking, but these are the actual figures from the World Almanac. Consider also the wild stories told about alleged war activities by the so-called "Allies". It is claimed by the hoaxers that the so-called victims of the alleged bombing of Dresden "glowed orange and vanished" or that people were turned into fine, powdery *undulating* (!!) ash in supposed "sealed" air raid shelters. Of course, they now admit that these "air raid shelters" were built after the supposed War!!!!!!!!!!!! And what about these "Allies"? How could they be Allies? Britain went to war with France in the 14th and 15th centuries WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE; Britain had a vigorously anti-French policy in the 16th and 17th centuries; Britain went to war with France again in the 18th and 19th centuries WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GERMANS. With such a long history of animosity between these two barbarian states, who could credit the silly idea that they became "Allies" during the Second World Hoax AGAINST GERMANY??!?!?! As everyone now knows, World Hoax II was a transparent effort to suck money out of the Allies under the allegedly so-called "'Marshall'" "Plan." -- John Morrisat University of Alberta -- The Nizkor Project | http://www.nizkor.org/

I just realized Ive lived in Canada long enough to forget that I actually lived in a concrete house!! lol
Houses in the middle east are concrete and yes we had drains but only in the washrooms or on the roof. oh and yes Katherine, I think CK thought u were way older than u really are, what's done is done and theres no point fighting with ure mom about it or even thinking of anything drastic like moving out. to kitty and yourself. |
Thank you onster Im sure aqua thanks you too. I guess i proably should have mentioned more of the damges she has caused. I didnt mention the fact tht bailey almost lost an eye, or that for the last few months ive had to buy , umm, probably three new wardrobes, may i add that my clothes are not cheap. We would cut her nails as much as possible, but the friggen things grow like weeds. I mean, this isnt your normal cat claws were talkin' bout, these were on seriods or something! I know for a fact mom hated having to do it, and she herself has steared people away from the procedure. There are alot more things i could talk abotu but i just dont have the energy at the moment to argue a lost cause(when i say that i mean, alot of you will never understand what we are going through here, and by that i mean the guilt we feel, but it had to be done) and as someone mentioned earlier, if we had rehomed her, 9 chances out of ten they would have done it anyway.
Hang tough Katherine. Don't listen.
There are times when it just has to be done even though it should not on an everyday basis. I am having one done right now. She is going to be the spoiled cat of a nursing home. I'd say that is a better life than the alley I saved her from, starving and cold. And for those who say to rehome her somewhere else instead, look at all the adult cats looking for homes. It is easier said than done. Now she will be a joy to many people. Oh and I might add that I found a conscientious vet who does local freezing in addition, gives pain meds, and who keeps the cat for three days post-surgery for monitoring. |

Gulf Oil Disaster
Date Filed: 5/17/2010
Case Status: Active
Defenders v. Minerals Management Service
On May 17, 2010, Defenders of Wildlife and the Southern Environmental Law Center filed suit challenging the Minerals Management Service's (agency name later changed to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ("BOEM") complicity in the Gulf oil disaster and continued lax oversight of oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico following the Deepwater Horizon incident. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, and seeks to remedy BOEM's ongoing failure to appropriately assess the risks and impacts of oil and gas drilling on endangered species and the rest of the Gulf ecosystem.

To paraphrase the well-known forest/trees saying, I simply didn't see the river because of the water. Much later, in Paris, I learned that a river has a left bank and a right bank.
The common-sense adjectives "left" and "right" are so much more tangible, for people living alongside a great river, than the theoretical notions of north and south. So, I had passed my childhood in right-bank Waterview (South Grafton) before moving across to our new left-bank residence in Kent Street (Grafton).
Since arriving here at Choranche, on the edge of the French Alps, I've come to appreciate the sense of the adjectives upstream and downstream. The Bourne flows down from Villard-de-Lans. Choranche is located on the right bank, and Châtelus on the left. And Pont-en-Royans is a little further downstream. It's a bit like seasons. Back in Australia, I hardly knew what they were all about. These days, at Gamone, they determine my daily existence.
There's another realm, of a theoretical kind, in which we must be aware of the direction of flow. I'm referring to the flow of information and scientific knowledge. Just as rivers never flow in an upstream direction, information and knowledge always flow in a unique direction: downwards from X to Y, say, but never upwards from Y to X.
This was one of the great lessons taught by Karl Popper when he demolished the time-honored but absurd notion that an understanding of the laws of the natural universe can be acquired miraculously when knowledge flows spontaneously, indeed magically, from the natural phenomena being examined by a researcher up into the scientist's mind. This mysterious process, referred to as induction, was a part of established science back in my student days. Since Popper, we realize that a new understanding of the ways in which various natural phenomena unfold can arise in the mind of a brilliant scientist. This knowledge then flows down into other human minds, enabling the newly-imagined explanations to be applied to the natural phenomena that inspired the creative scientist, for verification (best possible case) or for rejection (worst-case scenario).
Two centuries ago, in the domain of the evolution of living organisms, a great and ancient "river" of a physiological kind was thought of as capable, from time to time, of flowing uphill.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck considered that a living creature could transmit to its offspring various characteristics acquired during the parent's earthly existence. Take the case of a primitive giraffe, many millennia ago, at a time when giraffes still had relatively short necks, since they could find all the leaves they needed quite close to the ground. Let's suppose that a couple of giraffes were having a serious discussion about the idea of having a baby.
Mr Giraffe: There's only one thing that worries me, dear. Due to global warming, there's no longer any grass around. So, we're forced to eat leaves. But there are fewer and fewer leaves at a low level. Soon, to reach the high leaves and survive, giraffes will need to have longer and longer necks.
Mrs Giraffe: My dear husband, I agree with you entirely. But, if our future baby needs an exceptionally long neck to find food, then we must make sure that he's born with such a neck. There are no two ways about it.
Mr Giraffe: OK, but how can we make sure that his neck will be long enough for him to survive?
Mrs Giraffe: We must pray, my dear husband, and implore our Good Giraffe God to perform a miraculous intervention of genetic engineering.
So, that's what they did. And, soon after, biological information from the parched earth flowed up through the tree trunks, past the bare branches at the bottom of the trees, until it reached the level of the luscious greenery. And, from there, this precious information—dealing primarily with the complex procreative question of how to produce giraffe embryos with long necks—was consumed and digested by Mrs Giraffe… who suddenly felt a glowing long-necked warmth in her womb. The miracle was taking place!
We now know that Lamarckism was totally wrong, but it was never, at any stage, a completely crazy belief. Even today, when tourists halt for a moment alongside the lovely old thatched house in Pont-en-Royans [display], and chat with the village blacksmith and his son, they are invariably impressed by their giant strong hands, which have been photographed in closeup on countless mobile phones.
Blacksmith: My ancestors have been blacksmiths here at Pont-en-Royans for countless generations, and the blacksmiths' sons and daughters have always married the offspring of other blacksmiths in neighboring villages. And the gnarled hands of our kids, today, reveal the traces of all those centuries of hard work at the forge.
Who could possibly doubt the truth of the good man's words? His strong hands have been shaped, over the centuries, by a mysterious process of divinely-ordained genetic engineering that seems to "understand" that future blacksmiths need to inherit the hands, not merely of their forefathers, but of their forefathers' trade! This knowledge has flowed up from the forge to the uterus of every young lady chosen to become the mother of a future blacksmith. It's all a bit like the Nazarene carpenter's wife, who had received knowledge informing her that she would be giving birth to the Lord.
The only flaw in these nice and convincing tales is that knowledge about a future offspring never needs to flow into an embryo, because the zygote formed from the pair of gametes provided by the parents of a future member of the blacksmith dynasty contains all the information that it is required to forge a new human being. And, if the baby blacksmith looks as if he has inherited gnarled hands, that merely means that at least one of his parents had gnarled hands. And that characteristic had nothing to do with their daily occupations. Even if the latest generations of the baby's ancestors had all decided to transform their ancient forges into tourist boutiques, they would still have been born with gnarled hands. Inheritance specifications never flow upwards from a blacksmith's forge to human parents and their babies. They are transmitted, through chromosomes, from parents down to their offspring. Rivers never flow uphill.
This metaphor of information flow applied both to Karl Popper's views on induction and to Lamarck's views on inheritance was developed at length by David Deutsch, of Oxford.
His article Selfish Genes and Information Flow appeared in the collection entitled Richard Dawkins, How a Scientist Changed the Way We Think, Oxford University Press, 2006.

text: For RSD, rotor design is more than just mimicking the look of our wheels; it is both science and art. We design each rotor from the ground up and analyze every detail's function along the way. Our two-piece design allows the rotor to expand and contract when heated from the friction caused by the brake pad. The aerated portholes on the stainless steel outer band vent heat and dust away from the disc.
