Published 1802-1897
Item ID 32511
(Excl. 9% VAT)
Paris, Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, 1802-1897. 84 volumes in 100 parts. Large 4to (slightly differing dimensions per series, the largest being the last series, at 32.0 x 25.0 cm). 2,048 copper engravings and lithographed plates of which many double-sized or larger, and/or hand-coloured or in chromolithography, and seven portraits. Contemporary uniform marbled boards with morocco labels on the spines in different colours for the different series; original printed wrappers of several issues bound in ( Annales, Mémoires, Nouvelle Annales ), and near contemporary uniform cloth bindings with red morocco labels ( Archives and Nouvelles Archives , first series), and original printed wrappers (last two series of the Nouvelles Archives ). Very rare set, seldom seen complete, of the most important scientific natural history journal published in France during the 19th century. There are in total 84 volumes in 4to with more than 2,000 engraved and lithographed plates, of which over 250 are hand-coloured or in chromolithography. This work contains the contributions of all the famous French naturalists of the 19th century, in many cases the first publication(s) of these authors, or at least in their first editions, and often their most important research and results. In the Annales, for instance, Cuvier published his important series on molluscan anatomy, while his rival Lamarck contributed with his monograph of the fossil shells of the Paris Basin. Ornithology is well-represented. For instance: De Blainville "Le Dodo, autrement Dronte ( Didus ineptus L.)" with four lithographed plates one being a beautiful hand-coloured head of the dodo by G. de Bièrre. Another important "first" is Geoffroy St-Hilaire's "Descriptions des mammifères nouveaux ou imparfaitement connus: famille des singes" with eight lithographed plates of which two are coloured, one of which is the chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes L.) and appears to be the first monograph, antedating that of Owen by seven years. A herpetological treasure is De Blainville's "Description de quelques espèces de reptiles de la Californie". Throughout each series there is also a great deal on entomology, and more on conchology/malacology, including palaeontology, ichthyology and studies on crustaceans. Authors included are Cuvier, Valenciennes, Audouin, Lamarck, Becquerel, H. and A. Milne-Edwards, Brongniart, Jussieu, Tulasne, De Serres, Duméril, Thouin, Deleuze, Fourcroy, Vauquelin, a.o. Among the entomological titles, for example, are the following works by Lyonet: "Anatomie de différentes especes d'insectes" (a long series, with plates by W. de Haan), Lacordaire's "Essai sur les coléoptères de la Guyane Française"; an illustrated paper by Boisduval on Macrolepidoptera from Madagascar, Mauritius and Réunion, inaptly titled "Considérations générales"; Audouin and Brullé's "Description des espèces nouvelles ou peu connues de la famille des cicindelètes", with nice large hand-coloured plates, Raffray's "Coléoptères de la famille des paussides"; Paul Gervais' paper titled "remarques sur la famille des scorpions et description de plusiers espèces nouvelles de la collection du Muséum", and more. Père David, the first westerner to see a deer named after him as well as the giant panda, published his travel diaries in the Nouvelles Archives, with many zoological observations, and this came with a string of papers by Vaillant, Sauvage, Heude, and others on the specimens of birds, fish, molluscs and other animals he collected. Over the years many papers included in this series have been sold separately for considerable prices. In all, it can be stated that these publications by the natural history museum of Paris do not only contain a great deal of zoological, palaeontological, geological and (bio)chemical observations and discoveries, but also provided a platform for many new ideas and concepts about how the natural world is organized and how it is developing. Some rubbing to boards, and especially to spine ends. Ten parts of the "Nouvelles Archives" with renewed spine, a few text parts with brittle edges (and, however, very wide margins), a few text sections and plates spotted or age-toned, but much less so than usual; a few sections, including plates with some offsetting (more obtrusive in a few sections of the "Mémoires"), some minor creasing, a few captions shaved and some minor, usually marginal damp staining. This set ends with " Nouvelles Archives series III, volume 9(1)"; one more part and one more volume were published before the start of the fourth series. By then, however, the great era of descriptive zoology and botany, with large and lavishly hand-coloured plates, had come to an end. On request, we can offer a complete collation for a detailed list of irregularities, including reversals of plate orders (including plate 5 of "Nouvelles Archives volume 4", which was perhaps issued later and here bound in volume 5). In all, a very impressive set. Nissen ZBI, 4551, 4552, 4560, 4561, 4677. From Lamarck to Père David: The congregation of all the leading 19th-century French botanists and zoologists

I've found a rather disturbing portfolio mocking Youme:
Wow I wonder who could have such a beef with Youme?
Rather immature and poorly done
That is...quite a bit of hate in one page.
Fuck you guys I get all the girls and make the best damn maps ever, you know why? because I'm me. so I don't care if you hate me.
i do what i want i do what i want!
You're not just "me!" You're Youme!
That's utter bull shit, everyone knows I'm the man.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery?
Be that as it may, I had some choice words for them. This is a reflection of TF2M, and to a lesser extent, of Valve as well. Expect the site to be removed soon.
What do you mean by "removed" the guy who made this would not take it down if we asked him and the host site is known for keeping shit like this up and running.
Wow, someone is jealous. Seriously, anyone that does this is just immature.
This guy seems legit... /sarcasm/
And the person that wrote that seems to be obsessed with penis and seamen.
Oh no they're making fun of youme.
This is the end of the world.
I'm not really sure how this reflects upon tf2maps and valve. It's a joke site, a troll site, and you guys seem to have been successfully trolled.
Welcome to the internet.
Nuff said.
dont feed the trolls.
Where did you find this?
Thats is what I want to know also.
Youme... I love you :mellow:
He found it on a series of tubes of course.
PROTIP: When people say "they found it" it usually means that they made it and want to post it with being associated with its creation.
PROTIP: Mar's "PROTIPS" Work 60% of the time every time.

From George Washington to Arthur Lee, 29 March 1783
Newburgh 29th March 1783
Dear Sir,
I have been honoured with your favor of the 13th & thank you for the information—your Corrispondent at Paris had good ground for his opinion, and we have abundant reason to be pleased at the event, which he predicted the near approach of. I heartily congratulate you on the conclusion of the War—& hope the Wisdom of the States will point to that line of policy which will make them a great—a happy People—to accomplish this, local politics, & unreasonable jealousies should yield to such a constitution as will embrace the whole & make our Union respectable—lasting—without it, I think we have spent our time, spilt our blood, & wasted our treasure to very little purpose.
The Picaroons in Chesapeake & the Waters of it, have now met their quietus; but previously to the News of Peace, a representation of their conduct had gone into New York, & orders, I believe, were sent for the recall of them. Mrs Washington unites with me in Complimts to you and I have the honor to be Dr Sir Yr Most Obedt Servt
Go: Washington
DLC: Papers of George Washington.

Father Willie Doyle, an Irish Jesuit priest, is killed in action on August 16, 1917, during the World War I.
Born William Joseph Gabriel Doyle in Dalkey, County Dublin, on March 3, 1873, Doyle is the youngest of seven children of Hugh and Christine Byrne Doyle. He is educated at Ratcliffe College, Leicester. After reading St. Alphonsus' book Instructions and Consideration on the Religious State he is inspired to enter the priesthood and is ordained a Jesuit priest in 1907. He serves for five years on the mission staff.
Doyle serves in the Royal Army Chaplains' Department of the British Army during World War I, appointed as a chaplain to 48 Brigade of the 16th Irish Division. During the Battle of Loos Doyle is caught in a German gas attack and for his conduct is mentioned in dispatches. A recommendation for a Military Cross is rejected as "he had not been long enough at the front." Instead, Doyle is presented with the parchment of merit of the 49th Infantry Brigade (Irish). He is killed in the Battle of Langemarck, on August 16, 1917. Father Doyle's body is never recovered but he is commemorated at Tyne Cot Memorial in Belgium.
General William Bernard Hickie, the commander-in-chief of the 16th Irish Division, describes Doyle as "one of the bravest men who fought or served out here." Doyle is awarded the Military Cross for his bravery during the assault on the village of Ginchy. He is recommended for a posthumous Victoria Cross and Distinguished Service Order but is awarded neither. Doyle is proposed for canonisation in 1938, but this is not followed through.
A stained glass window dedicated to his memory is present in St. Finnian's Church, Dromin, County Louth.

My 3 Work Uniforms For All Seasons
A funny thing happened when I decided to actually try out the "uniform" concept in fashion: I was actually dressing with more variety than ever. For too long, I resisted the idea of a fashion uniform because I thought it meant keeping a too-small number of clothing items in my rotation, permanently falling behind on laundry, and never once giving myself the chance to have some fun with fashion. But now, I see a uniform as a carefully planned and executed combination of clothing items that you know will work together — it doesn't mean you're wearing literally the same thing every day.
I have the same three uniforms that I pick from on a daily basis, although there are slight variations on all of them. Uniforms should be picked based on the combinations of fits, textures, and colors that you know work together. While the late-night laying out of tomorrow's outfit is a great practice, I have found that I don't actually need to do that when I know what pieces will fit together well.
These are the three uniforms I've bounced between for the last year, which have worked for all seasons (from a windy and sloppy Toronto winter to a hot and sticky summer). I've included some tips on how to dress them up or down and make them look expensive, even when your budget is still a little tight.
1. Skinny jeans, a loose blouse, ankle boots
I love the fun of mixing jeans with a nicer top. One of the easiest ways to look like you have your fashion shit together is to play with contrasting proportions, which is why I like to pair a streamlined lower body with room to breathe on top.
The summer variation: A sleeveless blouse in the summertime is always preferred. I'm a big fan of balancing not only proportions but also fashion genres, so in warmer months I especially love contrasting a pair of jeans with some rips and shreds with a crisp, classy blouse.
The winter variation: Longer-sleeved blouses are obvious, but this look also lends itself to layering. A trick I've learned for winter layering is that when wearing closed-front tops, layer the shorter top on top (for example, pull a sweater over your blouse to create a cool look with the blouse peeking out the neck and at the hip). For open-front tops, layer the longer pieces on top. I love to wear a denim shirt on top of my blouse, topped with a longer cardigan.
Making it look expensive (even if it isn't): Wearing a blouse that's buttoned higher eliminates the need for a ton of jewelry. I also find blouses with simpler, classic cuts in solid colors tend to age better than patterned pieces in trendier cuts, which don't handle a ton of washing well. Hand-wash your blouses as much as possible to eliminate odor and staining, and press or steam as soon as they dry.
2. Neutral slacks, a T-shirt, a fitted blazer and Converse
A blazer fitted at the right places and well-pressed slacks help bring a feminine edge to what would otherwise look like a casual outfit. I mostly keep my T-shirts solid, but a low-key print like stripes can also add to the full look without making it a clash of styles.
The summer variation: Swap the T-shirt for a light layering tank — or, if longer pants aren't your things in the summer, a capri-length slim fit trouser gives off a similar sophisticated effect (just make sure you're also swapping the cool running shoes for flats or heels).
The winter variation: A turtleneck (one without too heavy a knit) will keep you warmer than a T-shirt and can stand alone without the blazer. The look also works with some over-the-knee boots.
Making it look expensive (even if it isn't): If wearing a solid T-shirt or tank, go a little bolder with a necklace for added color and texture. The small investment of getting your slacks hemmed to the exact right length can also add to their longevity and make you look just a little more put together.
3. T-shirt dress, an overshirt, and booties
I never liked dresses as a kid, but they certainly come in handy when you're not great at matching. T-shirt cuts that hit at the mid-thigh are usually neutral enough to be dressed up but don't have any sort of restricting fit in the midsection. I love to pair a black or grey dress with a chambray or denim shirt on top, usually unbuttoned.
The summer variation: Tying the shirt around the waist can actually give this look a fashionable grunge vibe while maintaining practicality. You can give your feet a bit of breathing room with some plain flats, but I wouldn't recommend anything with too much of a heel depending on the length of the dress.
The winter variation: Dark tights can instantly take this look into winter (and look crazy-chic with ankle boots). To add warmth, a cardigan with the denim shirt can look unexpected without being too busy or bulky (just follow the above layering rule for open-front tops).
Making it look expensive (even if it isn't): A well-pressed shirt makes the whole look clean and defines exactly where each piece hits. If adding tights, keep clear nail polish on you to fix runs on the go, to avoid the tights looking unintentionally grungy.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
A specialist subject, and not surprisingly graduates tend to go into software engineering roles or related. The degree classification students achieved made a particular difference last year — computing graduates with the best grades were much less likely to be out of work after six months and employers can even rate a good grade as important as work experience. Most students do get jobs, though, and starting salaries are good — particularly in London, where average starting salaries for good graduates were getting towards £38k last year. Be aware that at the moment, recruitment agencies are much the most common way for graduates from this degree to get their first job, so it may be worth getting in touch with a few specialist agencies in advance of graduation if you take this degree to get a foot in the door.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

Hi All
Below is one of my early layout proposals. Again designed in my early 20s, was flawed by both length and way too much to accomplish. Still, it was the second "serious" layout, that made it into the construction phase. The concept was for an exhibition layout that was not straight and 'boring", yet ticked off all my "then" requirements. These requirements mainly centred around being able to operate both Alcos and the more modern locomotives. However almost all the boards were actually built. The locomotive workshops and leads are currently in the shed. Doug has the four main scenery boards under his house. The fiddle yard mophed into the first version of Barcoola's fiddle yard. and currently resides with the rest of the Club equipment in Leon's loft.
The complicated triangle board, was scrapped.
The mainline track was scratch built. At the time of construction the only concrete track available was PECO 100, but the correct pandrol clips were available in there individualay range. Yes, I built the platform road with 4 timber sleepers for every one concrete sleeper.
The other nail in the coffin is all the other points on the layout were early shinohara, really bad conductivity on the blades.
In the end is was just too much work for not much return, lots of buildings without much operation. However was a learning experience, plus my carpentry skills have improved much since then.
If I happen to retire with a 12mtr by 12mtr room for building a layout, I might again contemplate Port Augusta, as a layout. but I have at least three other layouts in the pipe line after Alice Springs and Port Augusta isn't one of them.
Alice Springs update.
The "Gap" board has been positioned and mapped out, the east end of the yard has been mapped out and the position of the turntable has been finalised.
All the additional legs have been cut up in kit form and I have started construction of the new legs, for the rest of the layout.
Probably by the end of the week I will be just waiting on the track!

Uninsured Rate Reaches Seven-Year Low After ACA Implementation
The U.S. uninsured rate in 2014 fell to its lowest level in seven years, driven in large part by states that have fully implemented the Affordable Care Act, according to a Gallup survey released Tuesday, the AP/San Francisco Chronicle reports (Alonso-Zaldivar, AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 2/24).
The survey found that percentage of U.S. residents without health insurance declined from 17.3% in 2013 to 13.8% in 2014 (Levey, Los Angeles Times, 2/24).
To compile the data, Gallup researchers interviewed 500 individuals per day over 350 days. The 2014 data consisted of interviews from about 177,000 U.S. adults (AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 2/24).
Greater Drops in ACA Implementation States
The uninsured rate declined by more than five percentage points in seven states (Los Angeles Times, 2/24). Arkansas and Kentucky saw the greatest drops, with both states experiencing double-digit declines (AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 2/24).
Out of the 11 states that saw the largest drops in the rate of uninsured, 10 had expanded Medicaid and fully or partially established a state-based exchange (Los Angeles Times, 2/24). Montana, which did not expand Medicaid or establish a state exchange, experienced a decline of 4.9 percentage points in its uninsured rate (AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 2/24).
States that fully implemented the ACA saw their uninsured rates decline by almost twice the rate as states that did not do so.
Regionally, the lowest uninsured rates are in the Northeast and the upper Midwest, while the highest uninsured rates tend to be in the South and West (Los Angeles Times, 2/24).
Rate Will Continue To Decline, Gallup Says
According to Gallup, the uninsured rate is expected to continue to drop, as 55% of uninsured residents said they plan to obtain coverage rather than face penalties under the ACA's individual mandate (AP/San Francisco Chronicle, 2/24).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

After a brief hiatus in 2017 Short and Curly are back and the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018 with their new show, Young At Start. Performing together since 2010 Rebecca Shorrocks (Short) and Paul F Taylor (Curly) have great chemistry together, which is probably good since they're married, but this chemistry carries forward onto the stage and makes for some excellent comedy.
The premise of their latest show is that Curly is getting old and he's not happy about it, what follows is a series of flashbacks to "memories" from Curly's past. In reality it's a bunch of TV and movie mashups with loads of costume changes and random props. With mashups ranging from Phantom of the Soap Opera to the well known pantomime Sleeping Black Beauty, it's a very silly and fun hour of comedy, which seems to be the sort of necessary distraction we need right now. Both Short and Curly have a great intensity to all the characters, Short especially and the physical slapstick aspects of the humour work well, they also have no qualms about interacting with the audience and joining them in the seating, so don't think that just because you're hiding at the back you get to sit this out. None of the audience interactions seemed forced and it was never attempting to humiliate or embarrass the participant, which I know is a worry people often have but the joke is always on the duo.
There were a few jokes that fell a little flat and a lot of the references are VERY British, ranging from Grange Hill to Pantomime, there are other films and TV series that are riffed upon that will also appeal to an international audience, like Greece or Sesame Street but you should take it into consideration if you're planning to go and see them.
I do recommend taking an hour to see them though as it is a really fun time, with 2 very funny people who're obviously enjoying themselves and are good at their craft.

Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Predators joined the NHL as an expansion team in the 1998–99 season, and play their home games at Bridgestone Arena.
Team information
The team practices at Centennial Sportsplex. For the 2007–08 season, the Predators updated their jerseys with new striping. The logo was left unchanged, and the colors were left unchanged. Nashville was added to the "away" jerseys above the logo.
For the 2011–12 season, the Nashville Predators changed their jersey design and color scheme. The home jerseys are a bright gold with navy and white highlights, while the away jerseys are white with gold and navy highlights. Furthermore, the Predators changed their logo, making it purely white, gold and navy.
The new jerseys have a guitar pick on the shoulder with the Tennessee state tri-star inside it, lines meant to be guitar lines on the numbers, and piano keys along the neck line inside the jersey as a nod to Nashville's internationally-known music heritage.
There is no new third jersey at this time but one has been hinted at for the near future. They did, however, unveil gold helmets to be used on Saturday home games for the 2015–16 season. From the 2016–17 season the gold helmets became a permanent part of the home uniform.

A week-long symposium on coral reefs wrapped up with a call to action. A letter sent to the Australian Prime Minister on Saturday urged the government to take steps toward curbing fossil fuel consumption. It was signed by the 2,500 attendees of the International Coral Reef Symposium…held in Honolulu. HPR's Molly Solomon has more.
Back in March, James Cook University professor Terry Hughes got a bird's eye view of coral bleaching damage on the Great Barrier Reef. He spent several days conducting an aerial survey that revealed the worst bleaching he's ever seen. In the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef, half of the corals he documented were dead.
"It's an absolute catastrophe," said Hughes, who is also the president of the Australian Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies.
After seeing the damage to the world's largest reef ecosystem, Hughes said, "I'm mad because we've been talking about climate change to the Australian government and other governments for 20 years — and it's time they listened. Some of us have been radicalized by seeing this incredible damage."
Hughes is one of more than 2,500 scientists who recently signed a letter urging the Australian Prime Minister to consider doing more to save the nation's reefs and curb the country's use of fossil fuels. Hughes warns that the world's reefs are threatened with complete collapse under rapid climate change.
"Globally there's nowhere to hide from climate change," Hughes explained. "Even the best protected reefs, even the most remote reefs are vulnerable to climate change."
The letter goes on to say that damage to the northern Great Barrier Reef has been particularly devastating and points to the Australian government's failure to protect it from port dredging and the shipping of fossil fuels across the reef. It also called on Australia's Prime Minister to end coal exports and stop the approval of new coal mines. University of Queensland professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg echoed his colleague's concerns, saying the time is now to act on global warming.
"If we don't get off that pathway," said Hoegh-Guldberg. "Coral reefs will continue to degrade to the point where we won't have anything to manage."

Salad, I don't think you can ever have enough of it. It's versatility plus! You can make it go with anything and you can make it out of anything.
I like to keep a supply of salad greens growing in my garden but recently things have been looking a little bare and neglected so I thought I'd buy a bag of salad from the supermarket. Arggghh! what an exorbitant price. How are those prices justified? Instead of leaving with a bag of greens, I left with a couple of those newspaper wrapped seedling packages. Within about 2 weeks they have enough leaves to start picking and eating.
Tonight I gladly picked some of those leaves, supplemented them with some young rainbow chard leaves, some pear (it's just a young triple graft tree that keeps on producing! Beurre Bosc today, very sweet), some stilton and walnuts and put together a delicious and simple salad. It was perfect with the pasta and garlic bread.
Stilton and Pear Salad
You need (quantities will vary)
- some salad greens
- some pear, peeled and cut into small pieces
- some stilton or blue cheese
- a sprinkling of walnuts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tblespns white wine vinegar
- 1/2 tspn dijon mustard
Mix the mustard with the white wine vinegar and slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking until emulsified.

THE moment that a teenage Elliot Dee came to training with a swagger, Dragons legend Steve Jones knew that the hooker would go on to play for Wales.
Some fine players have worn the 2 jersey at Rodney Parade – Dee, Richard Hibbard, Lloyd Burns, Tom Willis – but none has made as big an impression as 'Jabba'.
The front rower, who won five Wales caps, was a member of the first Dragons squad and racked up a then record 180 appearances until a hip injury forced him to retire in 2013.
Later that year Dee made his professional debut as a replacement in the European Challenge Cup win against Italian minnows Mogliano.
It would take four years for the hooker to follow in the footsteps of Jones by playing on the Test stage, but the veteran always had an inkling that his protégé would be capped.
"Elliot came in at a young age and had a bit of a swagger. You knew that he had something about him, it was just trying to calm him down a little bit," said Jones, who had a short spell as set piece coach at Rodney Parade after retiring.
"You always knew that he would kick on and that he would play for the Dragons but also at some point for Wales.
"He has grown as a leader, but when he first came in training with us he wasn't shy at telling the senior players what they needed to do! He had that little something about him and wouldn't go into his shell, which was great.
"That does help, young players can't be too confident and sit at the back of the bus straight away, they have to earn their stripes but he had a glint in his eye and you could tell from a young age that he would go on to play for Wales."
Dee has gone past Jones' tally of caps and is set for his 23rd Test appearance in Wales' World Cup opener against Georgia on Monday.
The Dragons hooker has established himself as number two to Lions front rower Ken Owens with Jones believing the improvement will continue.
"Elliot is showing his talent now but I still think that there is a lot more to come from him," said Jones.
"His darts have been very good since he was a young kid, while he is a bit of a nuisance like every hooker should be, although I don't think he's as much as a nuisance as I was!
"But there is a glint in his eye and can wind opposition up and get a reaction, which is his job!
"Elliot is a good ball carrier and I think more will come from him there, while he also has nice hands – he is the all-round package.
"It's brilliant that he is going to the World Cup and I hope that this is the first of many. He has worked hard, come a long way and hopefully he will keep kicking on and make that jersey his own when Ken moves on."
It could well be that Dee is put under pressure for his Test place by another of Jones' pupils.
After hanging up his boots the front rower, now 42, took up a role with Gower College and is now head coach of Bridgend in the Premiership.
"I wouldn't say that it was something that I desperately wanted to do when I finished playing but then I got into coaching through Gower College's rugby academy, did some age-grade stuff and Bridgend," he said.
"I am enjoying it and it keeps me involved in the game that I have played since I was a kid. It has its challenges but working in the Premiership is great.
"There are some really good players, ones that might have just missed out on regional rugby or boys that don't want to really turn pro because of their jobs."
Jones' role means a Rodney Parade return later this season when the Ravens take on Newport RFC and the hooker hopes for brighter times at the famous old ground for his old region.
"We were a very tight group of players and management and I think we fought to be at a level above where we should have been," said Jones.
"I had so many good memories and played with some amazing characters like Rhys Thomas, Ian Gough, Adam Black, Luke Charteris, Joe Bearman, Colin Charvis, Michael Owen.
"Put all of them at their best together in one team and you wouldn't be far off being one of the best teams in the world. There were some great players and it was great going onto that field into battle with them."
"I just hope that the Dragons kick on a little bit," he continued. "They are always just a little bit away from getting a win and if you get a couple of wins then things can snowball.
"There are the players coming through - I have seen that in the colleges league - and given time and blended with some senior boys it can come good."

Ezekiel 8:16-18 New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition (NRSVACE)
16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord; there, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the Lord, and their faces towards the east, prostrating themselves to the sun towards the east. 17 Then he said to me, 'Have you seen this, O mortal? Is it not bad enough that the house of Judah commits the abominations done here? Must they fill the land with violence, and provoke my anger still further? See, they are putting the branch to their nose! 18 Therefore I will act in wrath; my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; and though they cry in my hearing with a loud voice, I will not listen to them.'

Batchwood Tennis Centre launch district-wide search to find an ace
PUBLISHED: 07:00 14 October 2018
A brand new initiative has been launched to search for the district's best tennis talent amongst primary school-aged children.
The scheme, which is called find an ace, is being launched by Batchwood Tennis Centre.
It is one of the first developments following the Batchwood site becoming the official LTA regional academy, one of only 11 centres in the UK to receive the prestigious status.
The high performing team have been recognised as the best in practice in Great Britain for its player pathway from the school playground to international tennis.
Dan Smith, who heads up talent identification and the academy's schools tennis network, said: "We're making our district wide talent search bigger and better than ever before and are passionately searching for the next stars of the future.
"In fact, many of our current national and international players first picked up a racket with us in their school environment as young children.
"The support so far from head teachers has been fantastic and we can't wait to introduce our amazing sport to thousands more local children."
As part of the scheme, Batchwood will be offering several scholarships on programmes to selected boys and girls through LTA-funded talent spotting sessions.
These are being offered to all primary schools and nurseries in the district.
And those children who take up the offer of tennis at their school will receive certificates and progress reports as well as the chance to show off new skills to their parents in open parent sessions.
LTA head regional coach Sarah Hylton said: "St Albans' residents are so lucky to have one of the country's leading tennis programmes on their doorstep.
"They have a proven track record of taking children from their first experience of tennis in their school to international tennis, while gaining a hobby for life.
"I would encourage every school in the district to get onboard."
For more details on the initiative and to find out how your child can get involved, contact Dan Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or call him on 07754 016 067.

text: Innovation Models With industries from banking to healthcare being transformed and, in some instances, undermined by new business models and technology, executives are smart to wonder, "Are we next?" To confidently answer no, what you really need to do is work more like Amazon and Google who've put a system in place that allows them to continuously innovate. Innovation vs Execution The innovation model begins with a business portfolio map that divides your business into two distinct functions: innovation and execution. The innovation motto is "Fail fast." The execution motto: "Failure is not an option." The innovation function is dedicated to iterative search through experimentation to produce a pipeline of tested and validated ideas. The execution function is dedicated to the day-to-day business. Realisation Succesful implementation requires roles overseeing innovation and execution. For example, if a chief executive officer manages the daily operation, a chief entrepreneur heads up innovation efforts. Further consideration within the innovation arm should be given to product managers and a venture finance specialist because the investment philosophy for invention is different than traditional finance. Poplify has extensive experience of product innovation working with startups to innovation teams in global enterprises. Our multi-disciplinary team has helped product managers convert product concepts, via a rapid iterative and interactive process, into product prototypes that have been succesfuly validated with users at a functional and emotional level. We have also succesfully transformed product prototypes into end to end multi channel software solutions within the execution function and continue to augment internal development teams.

I couldn't wait to try this week's French Fridays with Dorie Recipe! There is nothing like the smell of a fresh bread baking in the oven. Stuffed with cheeses and chives-even better!
I always have exorbitant amounts of cheese in my refrigerator. It was difficult to decide which cheeses I would add to my tasty bread. I decided on Pecorino Romano and Gouda. I think I made the right choice!
The Sunday I made the bread, my dad was coming by to visit. He arrived with two baby papaya trees to plant in my front yard. I decided on making muffins instead of the loaf so he could take a few home with him to enjoy!
This recipe was delicious! I will be making some more this weekend and trying it with different cheeses. You must check out Dorie's Around my French Table. It is a lovely book full of incredible recipes. Be a part of the fun and join us at French Fridays with Dorie!
Here's my sweet daddy showing Luca his papaya tree. I wish I inherited a quarter of his green thumb!
He arrived the next Sunday with a baby fig tree and some prickly pear plants. I'm watering them diligently every day.
Do you have a green thumb? What have you grown in your garden recently?
I hope you had a WONDERFUL week Thank you for stopping by today!

So, I go to my eye doctor for dry eyes. I am just expecting some drops and for him to send me home. But, I was wrong. Instead he sent me for blood work and those tests turned against me. I have Sjogren's which is an autoimmune disease. I guess it's doing a pretty nasty number on me. And, he was concerned about my ANA test result as being the "highest he's ever seen in all his years of practice." I would guess him to be in his forties since he has two teen-age daughters. He's not a doctor newbie. He's having that lab re-done along with several others. He is expecting me to have lupus along with the Sjogren's but I am praying hard, along with lots of other people, that I just have Sjogren's. Oh, there were some other lovely things that he mentioned which I have, too. But, I didn't see them as threatening.
He's starting me on lots of drugs. Honestly, sometimes I think that I am God's step-daughter who He doesn't particularly like at times. First of all, I am afraid of the eye doctor and I have been having to go every week and one week twice and have stuff done to my eyes because of the severe damage. I truly dislike taking pills. So, now I am going to be taking mega amounts of drugs whose side effects include getting fat, hair loss, nausea, mouth ulcers, and drug induced insanity.
The doc told Mark to watch me closely because I am on such a high dose of prednisone that I may not be able to handle it. If I get "too crazy" (not sure how my poor husband will determine that...) he's to take the prednisone away from me and immediately call the doctor. If the test for lupus comes back positive, he will be adding chemo in a pill form.
I am not a happy camper but I am trying to keep it together - exactly what the "it" is I am not sure. I guess "it" would include my faith, my hope, and my eyes on Christ. I have been having a pretty big pity party for me today and honestly, if I could cry... I would just like to sit and cry for a couple of hours. But, I can't cry, instead my eyes just fill up with mucus that sits on my cornea causing more damage. I can't even seek the comfort of tears.
Mark and my sons have been amazing. I have a kind loving family. I recognize that blessing of these three men in my life. But, my heart has been thinking of Christi and Bobby and wondering if I'll ever get to see them, talk to them, hold them in this life.
When I was at the doctor's office yesterday, I had to write down the names of closest of kin not living at home. I wrote down Michael because he's living on campus and then stared at the second space. The space where I should have been able to write Sherry, Patti, Christi, or Bobby suddenly became a huge open wound on that paper.
I wanted to scream a prayer to God right at that moment and beg Him to heal their hearts or minds or whatever and allow them to be part of my life again. But, I didn't do that. I just sat there looking at that gapping wound on that paper. As I was mourning my sisters, God gently said, "Write down Lauri. She's your sister. I gave her to you." So, I did. In the line where is said relationship, I wrote like my sister.
On the drive home, I was pretty quiet. I told Mark that I questioned why God had let me be born. My parents never loved me. They were disappointed that I wasn't their son. I spent many years of my life trying to earn their love. That was rewarded by their stealing my children and destroying my relationship with my precious sisters, too. We are struggling financially due to job loss and pay cuts. And, now... this. I said all of this out loud. I guess I was breaking the silence. Without hesitating, that sweet godly man, took my hand and said, "You were born for me. God gave you to me. You, not our children, have brought me more joy than I ever thought possible. Debbie, without you I would have been lost."
My heart just about broke. My family has tried to destroy this man and he still counts himself blessed to be married to me. His words humbled me.
Paul went out today and bought me Smart Water. He didn't tell me. I went into my room and there was a huge bottle sitting in my bedroom. I went to his hallway and asked him if he had bought me the water. He said yes. I called him to me and hugged my son and told him that I loved him. He told me that he knew. Then, I added that he shouldn't do things that make me cry these awful mucus tears. He replied, "Mom, it's just water." But, see it wasn't just water. He knows that I love Smart Water. I love the way it feels in my mouth - so smooth. I love the way it taste. He knows his mom. Sometimes, he acts so self-absorbed that I am amazed when I see him so caring. God keeps giving me glimpses of the man this eighteen-year-old is becoming. I am so grateful. He has been wonderful to his momma through all this ugly medical stuff.
I am rambling. I should be writing a 15 page research paper which is due Friday week and I can't get my brain to wrap around it. Instead, I am writing this pitiful post and sharing my fears and joys with whatever poor person reads this blog.
If you have a moment and you believe in the power of prayer, I covet your prayers of healing.
In the meantime, I am going to try to "keep it together."

This significant process control improvement ensures a specific predetermined wave height for every single PCB by automatically adjusting the solder pump RPMs. Thus, wave height is optimized to match the height of the PCB. This ensures precise soldering, lowest possible defect levels, and board-to-board repeatability throughout the manufacturing run.
The closed-loop system uses a laser-based sensor to detect, measure, and monitor SelectWave height. The wave height measurement system prevents loss of cycle time and stores individual PCB settings in the system's management info database for later recall.
mySelective 6748 delivers high-volume production in a high-mix environment. Combined SelectWave and MultiWave soldering technology, plus on-the-fly reconfigurability, give mySelective 6748 process flexibility. Plus, In-line fluxing and preheating reduce robotic soldering cycle times for faster, more efficient process cycles. mySelective 6748 MultiFlux system and rapid-responding Preheaters enhance speed and efficiency in this robust, adaptable system. mySelective 6748 offers the ability to solder each joint under its optimum process parameters. The machine's architecture allows it to assume an optimized configuration to accommodate the appropriate process parameter settings for each individual application.

I've been watching out for the first snowdrops for a few weeks and saw them last week. They are quite plentiful under the trees on the other side of the Bronie Burn.
It always surprises me that these little jewels are found in fairly damp and dark places – but of course that's what helps them to stand out and be seen.
One of our plans this year for the garden is to get some snowdrops planted at the foot of the trees at the back of the Bothy – hoping they will love the location and bloom next year for the enjoyment of our guests.
I love snowdrops for their beauty – but also for their toughness in being the first to stick their heads above the cold ground to declare that winter will pass!
