The Chicken Swing
The Chicken Swing
All chicken keepers know that birds love to perch and they will hop on to anything they can lay their feet on to give them a good view of the world. The Chicken Swing is a great perch idea because it provides more than just a place to sit - it actually swings! The patented design allows chickens to pump the swing themselves, with no need for a friendly push from the owner. Shaped like a mailbox, with a corn-like texture for grip, the Chicken Swing allows chickens of all types and ages to torque the perch. Quite simply, your hens will be swinging themselves silly in no time.
The Best Boredom Buster for Chickens
Ideal for hanging in any chicken coop, enclosure or chicken run, The Chicken Swing is a great hen toy that will reduce boredom and keep your pets hentertained. They'll love being able to hop up as they please, stretch their wings and swing back and forth above their pals. Synchronised swinging is also very much acceptable, should your chickens decide to share their new toy.
Made from safe quality parts that are built to last, The Chicken Swing is suitable for poultry of all ages and breeds. Although it is best to introduce chickens to the swing when they are young, adults will soon get the hang of it too. Attach The Chicken Swing so it hangs close to the ground, and as your chicks or chickens get used to climbing on, increase the height. Eventually, you will want it hanging high enough so as not to be an obstacle to any hens on the ground.
The Chicken Swing is a fantastic accessory for every chicken keeping area, and you are sure to henjoy watching your pets in action as much as they enjoy using it. Perch measures 16.25" in length.

Chicken swing - Karen,
Brilliant toy for the chickens, I bought 2 for the chickens at our local rescue centre and they said they love them, thanks x
Not for silkies. - Noel, Pennsylvania,
Seemed sturdy enough but my silkies wanted NOTHING to do with. It was rather expensive I thought and after trying it and out (for when the free range) of the run I finally tossed it.
Omlet Says: We guess that the silkies did not accept it because of their lack of flying capabilities. However: if you train young silkies to use it they will often accept it.
- Andrea, Lancs,
Quality product which the love
Chicken Swing - Debbie,
This is very well made but my bantams haven't got on too well yet.They tried it but as yet not a major love affair.I haven't given up though.
Great fun for the ladies! - Mary,
I like to keep my hens occupied. When I saw the chicken swing I just had to have one! The ladies love it! They can jump quite high, so have no problem getting on & off it. They look so funny swinging away in the sunshine. They thoroughly enjoy using it. Definitely money well spent. I would recommend it to anyone with hens.

离樱桃上市的季节还早,樱桃苗却已在时下成了抢手货。记者昨天从嵊州市石璜镇樱桃苗繁殖户赵新军那里了解到,上虞、诸暨、余姚等地大户争抢樱桃苗,导致收购价创下历史新高。"这都归功于休闲观光农业的火爆形势。"赵新军说。赵新军去年嫁接了 6.8 万株樱桃苗,自去年 10 月起,来自省内上虞、诸暨、余姚、浦江等地的客商比常年提前 1 个多月前来购苗。"这些客商要货量大,动辄成千上万。"截至目前,4 万多棵苗已被预订一空。一番争抢之下,一级樱桃苗的价格也从去年的每株 3 元,涨到每株 5 元。樱桃有"早春第一果"的美称。诸暨短柄樱桃更是我市特色优势水果之一,种植面积逾 3000亩,约占全市樱桃种植面积的"半壁江山"。近年来,随着农业休闲观光功能的开掘,城里人到果园采摘樱桃、杨梅等时鲜水果成为时尚。"采摘游"已成为我市水果的主要销售方式。去年春天,诸暨市在赵家镇、同山镇推出了以"观光采摘游"为主要内容的"樱桃节",带动农户增收近 200 万元。璜山镇樱桃大户冯永才种了 150 多亩樱桃,又先后引种了 20 余种优质水果,搞起了果园。去年 4 月,满园樱桃红了,一个周末涌来 1000 多辆来自杭州、绍兴等地的自驾车,将果园旁的公路塞得水泄不通。"采摘游"带动了销售效益。去年市场上樱桃每公斤最高卖 15 元,到果园现摘价格可以涨到 20 元。再加上门票、吃住等费用,收入比单纯销售樱桃增加不少。嵊州市甘霖镇樱桃园实施"观光采摘游"后,亩收入达到 2 万元,效益是卖给经销商的 2 倍多市经济特产站副站长陈锦宇说,在城市化快速推进的过程中,果园不仅要继续发挥生产功能,更要充分发挥生态、生活与文化功能,并通过果园功能结构调整,增加果业经济效益。目前,我市仍处于以供应本地市场为主的小水果生产状态,休闲观光游为提高经济效益、创新农业经营方式提供了借鉴。

Rusalka is an opera about singing. Or rather, what happens when you cannot sing. Echoing the story of The Little Mermaid, Rusalka gives up her voice to be united with a Prince. But he is distinctly put out when his bride-to-be cannot say a word. Instead he accepts the hand of a Foreign Princess and Rusalka, obeying the witch Ježibaba's curse, is doomed to live in the depths of the lake forever.
The aria 'Song to the Moon' comes right at the beginning of the story as Rusalka, still a nymph, sings with full-throated ease to the moon. There are nocturnal serenades throughout the repertoire and Dvořák starts his aria with the proverbial sweeping harp arpeggio, sounding just like a wooing guitarist tuning up. But rather than a trite tune under someone's balcony, Rusalka's aria is a luscious vocal display.
Listen to the full aria from last year's Cardiff Singer of the World
The opening chords, passing to muted strings, hover in the air, seeking resolution. Two intertwining clarinets describe a still night and, when Rusalka begins her song, the music finally settles into a balmy major key. The rocking accompaniment has folk-like sincerity and Rusalka's equal four-bar phrases give her song an uncomplicated sheen.
The harmonic language, however, becomes more knotty just before Rusalka launches into the refrain - rather than being a simple hymn to the moon, Rusalka needs help. Moving slowly down in step, she asks where her beloved is. Her plea is underpinned by a subtle sequence of chords via E flat major to a crueller E flat minor. It's a tiny harmonic indication of the tragedy in store.
There's another brief frisson before Rusalka begins a second verse. Dvořák plays another small but significant trick here. While he gave Rusalka four bars of introduction at the beginning of the aria, here there are only two; Rusalka's need is clearly greater. And rather than floating her second refrain, Rusalka pleads directly and more urgently through a yearning octave leap.
This aria offers a beautiful showcase for the heroine, but it likewise tells us of the tragedy at the heart of the opera. The Prince may swim in the lake, but he's never heard Rusalka sing and, if she becomes a human, he never will. For Dvořák that created a considerable structural problem; operatic love stories demand duets. And it's only in the final act, when the lovers are reunited in death, that he is able to create such a moment.
But there are plenty of other glories in the score. The Prince is a hero in the Wagnerian mould and Dvořák leaves us in little musical doubt as to why Rusalka is attracted to him. Their wedding banquet in the second act is littered with vivid choruses and dances, though Rusalka sits silently apart from the festivities. She has given up everything to be there and Dvořák writes equally theatrical music for world of the forest. Rusalka's father Vodník is a suitably melancholic soul, while the witch Ježibaba is the quintessence of evil magic. The cheeky water sprites are very much like the Rhine maidens in Wagner's Ring.
Although these characters provide great colour, the tragedy is ultimately Rusalka's. And what is so fascinating about the opera is Dvořák's ability to create both a charming fairytale and also to explore music as an overriding metaphor. Clearly without song our world would be considerably poorer and Rusalka's aria offers a radiant warning.
The Lyrics
|Mesiku na nebi hlubokem
Svetlo tvé daleko vidi,
Po svete bloudis sirokém,
Divas se v pribytky lidi.
Mesicku, postuj chvili
|O moon high up in the deep, deep sky,
Your light sees far away regions,
You travel round the wide,
Wide world peering into human dwellings
O, moon, stand still for a moment,
Translation by Jules Brunelle, originally published on Aria Database.

An "organised team" of thieves stole a woman's bank cards and ran up a bill of £14,000 on a spending spree across the region.
Two men and a woman distracted the 66-year-old victim before stealing her bank cards from her bag in Cookridge, Leeds, on September 10.
Now detectives have released images of the trio, who used the cards to draw out cash and buy smartphones and tablet computers in shops across West Yorkshire including in Wakefield and Dewsbury.
Det Cons Rhys Stead, of Leeds District Neighbourhood Crime Team, said: "The bank cards were used throughout West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire for purchases and cash withdrawals totalling around £14,000.
"We believe these offenders are an organised team that are travelling throughout the UK committing similar offences as well as loitering around cash machines to see people's PIN numbers suspect in Barclays before distracting them and stealing their cards."
The three suspects, described as eastern European, approached the victim when she had returned home from a shopping trip.
Police said they distracted her by asking for directions and pointing to a large map.
The victim put her handbag in the hallway of her house to get a notepad to make a note of the directions.
While distracted, her bank cards were stolen from her bag before the trio drove off in a car towards Horsforth in Leeds.
Police said they may have watched the victim pay for items in a supermarket earlier and made a note of her PIN code.
The suspects have been recorded on CCTV cameras at the TK Maxx store and Barclays Bank in Wakefield, Cash Converters shop in Dewsbury and at the Owlcotes shopping centre in Pudsey, Leeds.
Det Cons Stead added: "I would like to hear from anyone who recognises them or who has any information that could assist us in identifying them. We would also like to hear from anyone who has been approached in similar circumstances."
Anyone with any information should contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Ocean Education Planning Toolkits Designed for 2011 EE Week Now Available
Each year, EE Week provides hundreds of free resources and lesson plans on EEWeek.org to help educators plan activities around an annual theme. But busy teachers don't always have the time to sift through all of these materials to identify the best activities for their classes. This year, together with our partners at the Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE), EE Week brings you this planning toolkit with a suggested grade-appropriate activity on a daily sub-topic for each school day of EE Week. We are all connected to the ocean in many ways, whether we live near or far from it. These sub-topics were selected to help students better understand their many connections to the coast, and include weather, ocean exploration, climate change and more. Access the toolkits.
Earth Day Network Lessons on our Ocean Connections
In celebration of EE Week's 2011 theme: Ocean Connections, our friends at Earth Day Network developed five lesson plans on the ocean and oil spills to help K-12 teachers bring the topics into the classroom in support of EE Week's 2011 theme. Developed by and for educators, these interdisciplinary lessons are correlated to national content standards in science, social studies and math. Each activity may also be adapted for use with older or younger students. Download the ocean lesson plans or check out the oil spill lesson plan to learn more.
EE Week Special Feature: Weather Connections to the Ocean
As part of National Environmental Education Week's 2011 theme, Ocean Connections, broadcast meteorologists from across the United States have contributed videos explaining the ocean's role in weather in their regions. These meteorologists participate in Earth Gauge®, a sister program of National Environmental Education Week that provides weathercasters with free environmental information and stewardship tips they can share with their viewers.

TRIPOLI, Libya – A spokesman for Libya's biggest football club says the team's Egyptian coach has escaped unhurt after being targeted in a shooting in the capital, Tripoli.
The spokesman, Mohammed Balta, told The Associated Press on Sunday that Al-Ahly club's coach Hossam el-Badry was driving home Saturday when three men in another car opened fire on him.
The late night drive-by shooting came just hours after Al-Ahly drew 1-1 in a league game against a team from Misrata, Libya's third largest city. There was no motive immediately known for the attack.
Libya has been in turmoil since the end of an eight-month civil war that ousted and killed longtime Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. Most recently, Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan was briefly kidnapped by gunmen in Tripoli.

The Future Got You In A Pickle? Let's Cruise Into Yesterday...
Change is in the air. Can you feel it? Technology spiraling out-of-control, constant refining threatening to take the spice out of everything from food to cars to music in order to find a wide mass appeal, an ever-quickening blur of media, commerce, and electronics infiltrating, infesting our lives. We can barely stand still and enjoy where we are without being whisked away to see the "Next Big Thing." Moving forward means you're just maintaining the status quo; anyone who stops to smell the roses is accused of being retro, of denying today's exhilarating reality in favor of a past that never was. Is it the new millennium that has everyone in a frenzy? Is it a self-perpetuating media compelling us to do, do, and buy, buy, unthinkingly, unblinkingly, all in the name of advancing the careers and paychecks of the marketing people who foist all of this upon us? Are we nuts?
What is it, exactly, we are rushing toward, anyway? Utopia? Fat chance. Happiness? Nice thought. Peace? Please. OBD-III? Getting closer. With all the rush-rush to see what the "Next Big Thing" will be, it's little wonder that the yearnful tug of nostalgia pulls so readily at the heartstrings.
So then we come to Wayne "Woody" Wood and his fine '54 Merc. We found it (and him) in West Palm Beach, Florida, earlier this year. It caught our attention immediately, not only for what it is, but for what it represents.
The things renaissance man Woody has done to his Merc with his own two hands would be nearly impossible to execute on any factory-built buggy cranked out these days. Swap the chrome trim from another car? What new car has chrome trim? Imagine putting '55 Pontiac side chrome on a new Camaro. Picture a new Mustang with five inches taken out of the roof. The mind reels.
As is the custom with, er, customs, there are innovations and touches you won't see elsewhere. Recognize that air cleaner? It's a gas tank from a Harley-Davidson. The taillights have been double-stacked and frenched. The dash, seen here behind a Nardi wheel, is handmade of mahogany and lends a taste of understated elegance to the proceedings; it is probably the most un-'50s touch here. (Even the little Ford 302 under the hood, though circa '78, has its roots going back to the 221 in early '60s Falcons.) The overall effect, thanks in large part to the cool green-and-white paint scheme, is one of restraint and taste despite that toothy chromed DeSoto grille. The quality of Woody's work belies the effort that went into dropping the greenhouse between five and seven inches to give his Merc just the right look.
The future cannot be stopped, and maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Without a future, there is no past to muse upon, however hazy and favorable our memories about it may be. It's cars like this that bring those hazy memories clear into today and become another reality that is slower-paced and ultimately more fulfilling than the one we are told we need to have.

Scientists at Tsinghua University in Beijing have just perfected a process by which nanotubes can be coaxed to emit sound, allowing for the construction of ultra-thin, transparent, flexible 'speakers', demonstrated above affixed to a waving flag. Unlike normal speakers, which produce sound with direct vibration, these sheets produce sound with wildly fluctuating temperatures that create pressure oscillations in the surrounding air. In other words, these nanotube speakers — in contrast to other forays into flat sound production — don't vibrate at all.
In a second demonstration video, the speaker film is shown being stretched, while the emitted sound remains unperturbed. This could have tremendous ramifications for mobile music devices and phones, but the researchers didn't drop any clues as to when, or even if, this tech could make it to market.

Noise monitoring solutions for room acoustics - Manufacturing, Other
Room Acoustics concerns the way sound is created, propagated, perceived, measured and modelled inside enclosures. Enclosures can be dwellings, offices, workshops, factory halls, lecture rooms, auditoria, concert halls, transportation terminals, etc. Reverberation Time is the single most important parameter used to describe Room Acoustics, but in addition, parameters describing music quality and speech inteligibility are important.
About Reverberation Time
Sound Level Versus Reverberation Time
Sound level is the most important parameter to measure when solving environmental or occupational noise problems. In the open air (or the anechoic room) it is often all you need to measure. But indoors, the Reverberation Time (RT) affects not only whether you can understand what others say or enjoy music, but also the level and distribution of sound. The problem is usually that the RT is too long, but it may also be too short or not properly balanced over the frequency spectrum.
Getting the RT Right
Reverberation time that is too long will muffle speech sounds so that one sound (or word) cannot be distinguished from another, making it impossible to understand what is being said. This is critical in classrooms, auditoriums, churches, theatres and airport buildings. On the other hand, reverberation time that is too short will make levels too low at a distance, and make the sound too 'dry'. The optimal RT for music depends on the type of music and the volume of the room. Church music requires 2-4 seconds while concert studios need 1-2 seconds. The RT frequency spectrum should be reasonably flat and even. Excessive RT will cause the sound level to rise, causing annoyance or risk of impaired hearing. Typical examples are concrete stairwells in apartment blocks or workplaces with hard reverberant walls.
RT in Practice
Reverberation time is measured using either interrupted noise (pink or white) from a loudspeaker source, or impulsive noise from a starting pistol. It is measured in 1/1- or 1/3-octaves, serially or simultaneously. It is usually averaged over several positions in the room and over several decays in each position. Quite often a wide-band average is calculated by mathematically averaging the RT for a range of frequency bands. For critical applications, the shape of the decay curve is also important. Deviations from the straight line can reveal acoustical defects.
What is Room Acoustics?
Room Acoustics concern the way sound is created, propagated, perceived, measured and modelled inside enclosures. Enclosures can be dwellings, offices, workshops, factory halls, lecture rooms, auditoria, concert halls, transportation terminals, etc.
One of the most important parameters in Room Acoustics is Reverberation Time. It is a measure for how long the acoustic energy emitted from sound sources inside a room will linger. In regular rooms with an even distribution of sound absorption, reverberation time is also a measure for the amount of absorption present inside the room. The optimal reverberation time depends on the use of the enclosure. For example, for churches and large concert halls longer reverberation times are often desired, since this supports the music. Halls for speech should have a shorter time, since otherwise lingering sound will blend with subsequent spoken words, making it difficult to understand what is said. Factory halls should also have short reverberation time. In this situation the goal is to prevent the accumulation of sound energy. This will help reduce the overall sound pressure level and the noise exposure for all workers in the hall.
Though reverberation time is a very important measure for a room's acoustical properties, using this parameter alone would not be enough to quantify the quality of halls and spaces for music and speech. Instead, a range of parameters has been developed, which takes the temporal development and direction of incoming reflections at the listener's position into account. Examples of these are Early Decay Time, Intelligibility and Clarity.
All these parameters are derived directly from, or with the help of, the so-called Room Impulse Response (RIR). It is the acoustical footprint of a room. However, a room does not have just one single room impulse response. The RIR is the history of the direct and reflected sound at one position in a room caused by an impulse emitted from a source at another position in the same room. Thus different receiver and source positions will lead to different RIR in the same room. One consequence of this is that the perception of the same piece of music will be different for different seats in the same concert hall.
Therefore, it doesn't come as a surprise that the room impulse response is central to both, measurement and modelling of room acoustics. Room Acoustic measurements are used to validate new constructions and to troubleshoot existing ones. The Room Acoustic Measurement System DIRAC Type 7841 is the perfect tool to help you keep control over the acoustic design of rooms.

IMPORTANT: This works for both Help+Manual 7 and Help+Manual 6
As you will know if you use Subversion, recent changes to the Tortoise SVN client have made it necessary to downgrade to Tortoise SVN 1.9.2 to maintain compatibility with Help+Manual 6 and 7. This is potentially problematic in the long term, because it means that your version of Tortoise may no longer match the current version of your Subversion Server.
We now have a solution for this that works for both Help+Manual 7 and Help+Manual 6. We are going to provide more integrated support for it in the next update to H+M 7, but you can install the solution now and it will work fine. All you need to do is update Tortoise and then install the current 32-bit SVN client from Collabnet. The download is free, but at the moment you do need to register with Collabnet to get it. We are looking for a better solution for this.
All components must have the same version!
The only caveat is that you must make sure that all components have the same version. The version number indicates the Subversion version, so currently your Subversion server, Tortoise and the Collabnet client should all be version 1.9.4. If you update any of the components in the future you should update ALL of them to the same number again.
Step 1: Update Tortoise to the current version
This is Tortoise SVN 1.9.4. It is important that you DON'T use 1.9.3 -- that was an intermediate version and it will continue to confuse Help+Manual's SVN client access. You can always download the current Tortoise SVN version on this page:
Step 2: Download and install the 32-bit Collabnet client
When you click on the download link on this page you will first need to complete a free registration with Collabnet before you can proceed:
IMPORTANT: You ONLY need the 32-bit command line client, even on 64-bit Windows. In the current version this is titled "Subversion 1.9.4 (Windows 32-bit)" and is 6.16MB. This is the only component that is missing to make the current version of Subversion work properly with Help+Manual.
After downloading, run the installer and accept the default location it chooses for installation.
Step 3: Restart Help+Manual
Subversion functions should now work properly without any further action on your part. In the unlikely event that there are problems, select the Collabnet client manually in View > Program Options > Subversion. It is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\CollabNet\Subversion Client and the file you need to select is "libsvn_client-1.dll".

Jury Unable to Reach Verdict in Mo. Killing
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A St. Louis judge has declared a hung jury after two days of deliberations in the trial of a man charged with killing a burglary witness.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Rico Paul was held for retrial after Friday's mistrial ruling. Paul is charged with first-degree murder in the May 2011 killing of Paul Reiter.
The 58-year-old was the circulation manager for the St. Louis American newspaper. He was shot dead before completing a 911 call, ostensibly to report seeing a burglar next door to his home. Eyewitnesses identified Paul as Reiter's killer. But the defense presented two alibi witnesses and claimed police forced Paul to confess.
Paul also faces 20 counts of burglary and theft in a string of other crimes in the neighborhood.

SPIRITED STORIES: Everyone who has lived in California for a good amount of time can probably name two things about the Hotel del Coronado right off the bat. Well, maybe three. First? It's on the beach. Is it ever. Two? Marilyn Monroe frolicked on that beach in a little movie called "Some Like It Hot" (don't get in a tizzy, cinephiles; we used "little" there with some tone. We know it is the top comedy ever per the American Film Institute). And three? Yep, it is said to be haunted. Google "Hotel del Coronado" and the word "haunted" will pop up without any bidding after the name. So when the posh landmark celebrates Halloween, they really celebrate it. And you have a chance to be in the merry, creepy holiday proceedings.
THE DEAL: The San Diego stayover has a Facebook contest on now. It starts with you liking the hotel's page. There are some other steps, but we bet you want to know about the winning part. The winner'll stay in the hotel's "haunted" room (quotes theirs) for two nights over the weekend ahead of Halloween. There are also two tickets to the hotel's Halloween party in the deal, too, and some other really good stuff. (Hello, spa and brunch.) Of course, if you do spy a wraith, you will post about it on the Hotel del's Facebook page, right? Even if you don't, you may see a few people dressed as her at the Saturday night bash. It's good either way.

I'm a java beginner and have recently encountered a problem that I have not been able to solve or find a solution to.
Hopefully this is also in the correct sub-forum.
In my program I have specified a Line2D.double(x1, y1, x2, y2) and I want to check if a circle object of mine collides with it. Therefore I'm currently trying to achieve this by checking how long distance the circle center-point is from any point on the line.
To do this I want to create a Point[i] object, containing every Point on the line. I know that such a point can be given by y=k*x+m and that I can calculate k through k=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and m through m = k*x1+y1. What I do not know is how to decide what X to use for properly calculating y to create one point on every pixel displayed by drawing the Line2D object.
So, I wonder, how can I get every point on the line stored in a Point[i]? (or, is there any simpler (I assume there are many more effective methods, but I still don't have the knowledge of doing anything too fancy) way of checking collision between a line and a circle?) The method used to get every point on the line needs to work even if k is approaching Infinity.

Dexter Fowler's sore left lat keeps him out of lineup; Jeremy Guthrie starts again
ST. LOUIS — Dexter Fowler's absence from the lineup creates attention given his recent homestand. The center fielder went 12-for-27 with six extra-base hits, but is not starting tonight in St. Louis because of sore left lat muscle.
It's not considered serious, but manager Jim Tracy didn't want to risk an injury. Eric Young Jr. is in center field with Tyler Colvin in right. Michael Cuddyer shifts to first base with Todd Helton resting because of a sore right hip.
The Rockies' also tweaked their rotation as Jeremy Guthrie is starting again. He will go on Wednesday. With Christian Friedrich dealing with a slight right calf issue after getting hit by a batted ball, he was pushed back to Thursday, with Drew Pomeranz going on Friday in Washington. So the rotation is as follows: Monday: Josh Outman; Tuesday: Jeff Francis; Wednesday: Guthrie; Thursday: Friedrich; Friday: Pomeranz.
Guthrie isn't necessarily on the 75-pitch count. If he throws well the rotation could be tweaked to include him with Outman going to the bullpen. There was no talk of keeping a five-man rotation.
Outman faces the Cardinals tonight. He has allowed five runs in four of his last five starts, and owns a 12.15 ERA on the road. The piggyback relievers for tonight's game, if needed, are Tyler Chatwood and Josh Roenicke.
Guthrie, who has made four relief appearances since being bumped from the rotation on June 19, posting a 2.61 ERA, has been a much better pitcher on the road this season than at Coors Field.
In other notes, right-hander Juan Nicasio will throw a simulated game on Thursday as he approaches a rehab assignment. Jhoulys Chacin feels stronger than he has any point this season. He's added curveballs to his side sessions and believes he will return sometime in August.

On the morning of 7th May, 1915, the New York Times carried the announcement of a lawsuit taken out in the U.S. Supreme Court by British art dealer Edgar Gorer against fellow art dealers Henry J. and Joseph J. Duveen of Duveen Brothers1. Later that afternoon, American composer Charles Ives was waiting on the platform of Hanover Square train station in New York, when the crowd spontaneously broke into singing the gospel hymn 'The Sweet By and By'. News had been received in America of the sinking of the Cunard liner RMS Lusitania off the coast of Ireland by a German submarine just a few hours previously. 1201 men, women and children lost their lives in the catastrophe and the spontaneous hymn singing witnessed by Ives and captured in the powerful third movement of his Second Orchestral Set, was one of a series of personal and communal responses to the tragedy from all around the world2. One of those who perished on the Lusitania was Edgar Gorer. Gorer had initiated the lawsuit against the Duveens before boarding the 1st May sailing to return to London. According to some, Gorer was at the time fighting to save his reputation as perhaps the most successful international dealer in Chinese works of art then in business and against a rival the Duveen Brothers whom Gorer, ironically, had sought to emulate. Edgar Gorer's career was a remarkable one, not least in its meteoric rise, its often colourful episodes and its fateful end.
Edgar Ezekiel Gorer (1872-1915), was the son of Solomon Lewis Gorer (1842-1907), a one-time tobacconist, silversmith and jeweller. Although Solomon was born in Brighton, Sussex, the Gorer family had both Dutch and Russian ancestry and were probably part of an early wave of Jewish immigration in the late 18th and early 19th century, many of whom settled in English ports and growing seaside resorts, such as Brighton3. By 1871, Solomon was living in Kensington High Street and working as a tobacconist, but by 1886 he was listed as an 'electro plater, water gilder, working silver smith, jeweller and gold and silver refiner', with premises at 113 Edgware Road, London.4 The firm had expanded by 1889 to additional premises at 433 The Strand, which was a 'fancy jeweller' whose speciality was 'artificial diamonds lustrous as brilliant'. 5 By 1895, the firm had located solely to The Strand and the following year Solomon made a move to 59 New Bond Street, where he opened as a silversmith alongside his son Edgar, who was listed as a dealer in 'oriental works of art'. 6 By the time of the final move of both Solomon and Edgar to 170 New Bond Street in 1899, the Indo-China Curio Trading Company, as Edgars side of the business had become, was occupying both 58 and 59 New Bond Street. 7 In 1900, the two businesses became S. Gorer & Son, interior decorators providing specialist oriental decoration and the 'Indo-China Curio Trading Company', the proprietor of which was Edgar Gorer. 8

It is clear from this sequence of events that Edgar was the driving force behind the establishment of S. Gorer & Son (also known as the Indo-China Curio Trading Company), as both interior decorator and dealer in 'Oriental' works of art. By 1896, Edgar was in his mid-20s and already displaying the flare and ambition that would characterise his later career. 9 In 1902, Edgar married Rachel Alice Cohen (1873-1954) and the two moved to a large detached house at 45 Netherhall Gardens in South Hampstead which would remain the family home for the rest of Edgars life. 10 Over the next few years, S. Gorer & Son maintained a steady, if unremarkable, position as a 'Fine Art Dealer, Chinese & Japanese Works of Art a Speciality', until about 1905, when there is a noticeable and systematic increase in activity and profile. It is likely that Edgar had been steadily taking charge of the business since his marriage. Solomon died in retirement in Eastbourne on 11th October, 1907. 11
Back to the top
S. Gorer & Son began to make their mark from about 1905. It was in this year that the firm was listed as making substantial purchases at the Huth Sale in May. 12 Louis Huth (1821-1905), was a merchant banker who collected Old Master and modern paintings, furniture as well as Chinese porcelain and was a friend and patron of James McNeill Whistler. On the first day of the Sale, art dealer Frank Partridge made history by topping the bidding in acquiring the now famous cobalt blue 'Hawthorn Jar' for £5,900 (Duveen was the under-bidder), but Gorer was successful in bidding on the second day when he acquired a pair of powder-blue with famille verte enamel dishes for 360 guineas.13 Porcelains of the Kangxi (1662-1722), Yongzheng (1723-35) and Qianlong (1736-95), periods would dominate the market both in Britain and America up until the First World War and this predominantly 'millionaire's taste' was what dealers such as Gorer and Duveen promoted and supplied.

By May the following year, Gorer had purchased the Trapnell Collection of Chinese porcelain, which, as the advertisement announced, may be viewed 'on presentation of a visiting card only'.14 This was one of Edgars innovations. No longer was it necessary to make an appointment or pay a fee; this was an opportunity for the lady or gentleman, perhaps new to collecting, to come and browse what promised to be an extensive display. Edgar also published a catalogue of the Trapnell Collection, the first of a series of lavishly illustrated sales catalogues he produced.15 Like Duveen, he recognised the importance of these publications as both promotional material but also as a way of producing a standard reference which collectors might use as a benchmark against which they could measure their own collection and perhaps add to it. S. N. Behrman recalled Mrs William Randolph Hearst as saying that her husband and his friends had a fondness for catalogues: 'They were going after anything that had a book to it'. 16 Duveen recognised this, so did Edgar Gorer, who would issue a string of similar publications between 1906 and 1914.
The 'positioning' of S. Gorer & Son had begun and continued with a lavish spread in the April 1906 issue of The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs, the leading art journal in Britain.17 Presented as a visit by an anonymous author to the Gorer premises at 170 New Bond Street, it was in all likelihood, a piece prepared by Edgar himself, appearing as it does as part of the front advertising matter of the Magazine before the articles proper begin. This was again a part of Edgars new promotional strategy. In the pages Gorer offered the collector the opportunity to buy top quality items with very little effort. 'A firm such as Messrs. S. Gorer & Son in other words, The Indo-China Curio Trading Company of 170 New Bond Street, London, W., who are direct importers of every description of high-class Oriental works of art, serves to effect an excellent purpose between the source of export and the buyer'.18 The article continued: 'Messrs Gorer deal only in the finest examples of old and modern curios and objects of art from China, Japan and India. There is no other similar house in London which in any way approaches them either as regards their immense stock or their scope of influence. The works of art are exhibited on three splendid floors, and represent a probate value of £100,000'. There then follows a brief history of ceramic making in both China and Japan and a list of the range of wares on display, which included bronzes, lacquer, enamels and ivory.19 Finally, there is mention of Gorer as cabinet makers and as interior decorators. The firm will undertake to provide display cabinets in keeping with the objects they sell: 'Messrs. Gorer are also high-class decorators: they not only execute work in any style, but they make a speciality of using their great knowledge of Oriental art in utilizing many of the schemes and suggestions taken from the most beautiful objects'.20 Two watercolour illustrations are included as examples and show a style of display that reflects an Aesthetic Movement Chinese Chippendale hybrid, popular before the Great War.

Gorer's skill in interior decoration, emulated that of the firms greatest rival: Duveen. Joel Joseph Duveen (1843-1908), the founder of the Duveen empire, had recognised the importance of providing a complete service for his clients, setting off the objects they sold to best advantage. As James Henry Duveen observed, although this work was not greatly remunerative, it did reinforce Duveen's taste and that included his taste in the works of art he sold. 21 Edgar clearly recognised the importance of this and while Duveen promoted the 'Dutch and Flemish Renaissance' styles that included heavy panelling that suited the Old Master paintings they predominantly sold, Gorer sought to engage with, as he saw it, a style more appropriate to the objects he sold.22 Gorer boasted many satisfied customers, which included the governments of Australia, Southern Nigeria, the Gold Coast and the British government, 'on the occasion of their exhibit at the great Glasgow Exhibition'.23 In the early years Gorer promoted this aspect of their service on their letter-head where they were described as 'Cabinet Maker & Decorator'. 24
The offer of a complete service was a gambit used on William Lever, when Gorer approached him in 1909. This was not the first time that Gorer had approached Lever. In 1906, Lever was offered a piece from the former Lelong Collection in Paris, which he firmly rejected.25 Gorer maintained an infrequent correspondence thereafter, suggesting pieces and sending a copy of J. F. Blacker's Chats on Oriental Porcelain, which had just been published (and which Edgar reveals he has edited), all without success. Then in 1909 he tried another approach by suggesting the importance of display for any collector. This letter provides the clearest description of Gorers interior decorating service: 'For some years past', he wrote, 'I have done a great deal of high-class decorative and cabinet work for my various clients, but I have not made a prominent feature of this as I originally started the workshops as a hobby and because I found it was absolutely impossible to get effective show cabinets made properly in this country... The work entrusted to me has increased so much that I have found it necessary to fit up show-rooms on these premises, and I have engaged Mr. Albert Van der Velde, who was for many years with Messrs. Hampton and Messrs. Roumy, to take charge of this department'. He continues: 'Mr. Van der Velde is a most competent decorator, having thorough knowledge of all the styles of the different periods, and for artistic draperies and hangings he could not be equalled. I should be gratified if at any time you may have any decorative or cabinet work if you will allow him to call upon you with the object of taking particulars so as to submit designs and estimates for what you may require done. I may say that in no instance will charges be made for these drawings or estimates'.26 Later that year Gorer sent Lever some samples of his work, a portfolio of illustrations, probably not dissimilar to those reproduced in the Burlington Magazine article.27 Whether Gorer was aware of Lever's passion for design and planning or not, this was a trump card to play. More than the process of collecting itself, Lever seemed to obtain the greatest pleasure from conceiving and achieving the perfect display, whatever the material.
Although Lever made no immediate response to Gorer's letters, the seed was planted and the following summer he purchased a blue & white beaker vase for £350.28 This was from the Sir William Bennett Collection, a part of which Gorer had just secured and which went on show during May and June of 1910. The exhibition was accompanied by an illustrated catalogue written jointly by Edgar and his client (Fig.4).29
Fig. 4. Supper set from the Sir William Bennett Collection.
Sir William Bennett (1852-1931), was an eminent London surgeon who had built up a distinguished collection of predominantly Kangxi period ceramics and had been a client of Duveen Brothers.30 The acquisition of such a collection must have delighted Edgar, not least because it was to be the platform from which he launched his entre into the American market. Gorer is said to have been instrumental in taking the best of the Sir William Bennett collection to the U.S. where it formed the nucleus of some of the finest American collections. 31

Ives wrote: As I came on the platform, there was quite a crowd waiting for the trains, which had been blocked lower down, and while waiting there, a hand-organ, or hurdy-gurdy was playing in the street below. Some workmen sitting on the side of the tracks began to whistle the tune, and others began to sing or hum the refrain. A workman with a shovel over his shoulder came on the platform and joined in the chorus, and the next man, a Wall Street banker with white spats and a cane, joined in it, and finally it seemed to me that everybody was singing this tune, and they didn't seem to be singing in fun, but as a natural outlet for what their feelings had been going through all day long.

Apple has decided to improve the accuracy of its Maps software by re-arranging the physical features of the Earth. Or at least that's what a satirical website has written.
Popular US humour site The Onion has stuck the boot into both the accuracy of Apple's much-criticised Maps app and the 'reality distortion field' deployed by its executives with a spoof video news story. Apple, it 'reports', has decided to correct the numerous mistakes in the mapping software by rebuilding the Earth's physical features, cities and landmarks to match.
"Apple has responded to continued frustration with its iPhone Maps application, announcing plans to realign the Earth's geography to more accurately reflect the map software," the Onion reporter deadpans.
"Company executives say they've already started renaming streets, switching the locations of buildings and destroying some landmarks altogether, to be consistent with the heavily criticised Apple map feature."
It even quotes an imaginary Tim Cook. "Apple is committed to providing the best user experience possible…" he begins. "Which is why we are working to dismantle the Brooklyn Bridge and put London in Canada."
iPhone owners used to the generally high level of accuracy in Google's established mapping services were stunned when Apple launched its own rival as part of iOS 6 back in September.
Among the numerous blush-inducing errors: the presence of branches of long-defunct high-street chains, including Our Price and Woolworths; the misidentification of a farm as an airport; a set of disputed islands appearing twice in their entirety; and the total disappearance of Stratford-upon-Avon.
Step back in time: a curiously outdated reference on Apple's Maps software. Picture courtesy of the Huffington Post
It would be tough for the Onion to top these sorts of slips, but it tries: reporting casually that Baltimore is being relocated to "the middle of the ocean".
Although (back in the real world) a source at Apple insisted that the Maps application is 99 percent accurate, they acknowledged that the firm is to blame for the reception given to the software, which New York Times columnist David Pogue called "an appalling first release" and "the most embarrassing, least usable piece of software Apple has ever unleashed".

Joe Cowan Named to 2014 Super Sunday Hall of Fame
Somerset Community College is proud to honor Joe Cowan as the newest member of the
Super Sunday Hall of Fame.
Super Sunday is an annual Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) statewide initiative intended to increase the college-going rate of students of color. As part of this initiative, a Super Sunday Hall of Fame has been established, highlighting outstanding minority alumni.
About Joe Cowan
Joe L. Cowan is no ordinary individual. Born in Monticello, KY with a rare congenital
disease called Authrogryposis, Cowan has achieved many milestones in his personal
and professional life that he once thought impossible.
Cowan's disease caused his shoulders, arms and hands to be misshapen and caused him to be bound to a wheelchair. Growing up, he didn't receive much of an education.
"Back when I was in school, handicapped children were kept at home and the school system sent teachers out to us," Cowan said. "I really didn't get the full benefit of an education until I went to college."
In 1971, Cowan moved to Lexington and spent almost four years at the Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Center.
"They (Cardinal Hill) provided me with physical therapy, an education, and they taught me how to survive on my own. They even taught me to drive a car," Cowan said. "Eventually, I was able to go out and get my own apartment, meet a girl, who was a student at UK, and get married."
While at Cardinal Hill, Cowan enrolled in the Kentucky Business School where he earned a certificate in accounting. Having difficulty getting hired in Lexington, he returned to Monticello and began attending Somerset Community College. He was awarded an Associate Degree in Human Services. That degree led him to a job at the Job Corps in Pine Knot, KY, but he didn't want to stop learning and he continued to take college classes when he could.
Cowan eventually earned his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Kentucky in Social Work, and he went on to earn a Master's Degree from UK in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling. During those years, he also became interested in entering the ministry. He was ordained an elder in the church and served in Monticello.
In 1997, Cowan began working for Somerset Community College in a grant-funded, job-training program known as BRITE; a position located in Albany. When that grant ended, he was hired by SCC as an instructor in the High School Equivalency Program which helped migrant workers obtain their General Equivalency Diplomas. In 2008, Cowan was also given the responsibilities of the Assistant Director of Disability Services at SCC.
Cowan has served on a number of statewide boards and advocacy groups for the disabled. He served on the Kentucky Protection and Advocacy Commission, an independent state agency, for eight years. That group's mission was to protect and promote the rights of Kentuckians with disabilities through legally-based individual and systemic advocacy, and education. He also served on the University of Kentucky's Interdisciplinary Human Development Institute which is one of over 60 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research and Service. This organization focused its efforts on improving lifelong opportunities and services for individuals with disabilities, their families, and the community. Recently, Cowan was appointed to another three year term on the Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities, a group of citizens appointed by the governor to serve as a leading catalyst for systems change for individuals and families living with developmental disabilities.
Along with SCC Director of Disability Services Mary Petry, Cowan has hosted an annual workshop for the disabled at The Center for Rural Development to inform disabled individuals about the opportunities available to them at the college.
In 2011, Cowan was inducted into the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame in Louisville, KY. Nominees for this award are men and women who have made significant contributions to Kentucky's progress in the areas of civil and human rights. Their fights against discrimination may have been in the areas of race, sex, religion, disability, age, economic status, religion or other human rights areas. A panel of volunteer judges selects the inductees.
Cowan is currently the Assistant Director of Disability Services and an instructor in the Bringing Educational Achievement to Migrants program (BEAM) at Somerset Community College.
Although his life has "been a struggle at times," he always tries "to encourage people not to give up," he said.
Cowan has one adult daughter, Domonique, she is married to a member of the United States Air Force, Eric Ehler. He is the proud grandfather of three grandchildren: Dylan, Daxtyn and Dalton.
Cowan will be honored as a Super Sunday Hall of Fame recipient during the during the church service at Pleasant View Baptist Church in Monticello on February 23, 2014.
About Super Sunday
Somerset Community College is sponsoring four Super Sunday events on February 23, 2014 as part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) diversity plan. On this day, SCC and each of the other KCTCS colleges and the system office will partner with churches in their communities to host information fairs for prospective college students and their families.

Our favorite new website is Out of Context Science, a Tumblr-like blog that posts weird snippets from scientific papers several times a day. Want to understand our world and the miracles of physics? Look elsewhere.
But if you want to be deeply amused and distracted by the decontextualized weirdness of scientific papers and articles, then Out of Context Science is a gem.
Random sentences include:
"Such a powerful laser has an obvious dual purpose, which is unlikely to please other space faring nations."
"There is no decision making going on by the mucus."
"They put a nautilus in a tank of water, and pressurized the tank until the nautilus imploded."
"By the late Cretaceous, only toothless pterosaurs remained."
"This was clearly the environment the stem cells needed to be happy."
"It grows until it drops off to mature into an Aliens inspired cyst that spits out 300 new little bastard parasites."
The hilarious weirdness just keeps coming. You can lose an hour looking through all of the randomness. [Out of Context Science]

Many people from the Bay Area attended the 1963 March on Washington.
For some, it inspired a lifelong commitment to civil rights.
"We're still talking about it, we're still quoting it, we're still trying to live it, and we're still trying to make it happen," said Reverend Cecil Williams, who was there to hear Dr. Martin Luther King's famous speech that defined the civil rights movement.
"The speech set the degree by which we are able to overcome awful situations, difficult situations, even now," Williams said.
Williams would later meet King, but on that day he was simply another voice among more than 200,000.
"All of these people coming together in Washington, D.C. was very empowering, I felt much more power," he said.
The inspiration of the march stuck with Williams, who on that same year took the reins of San Francisco's Glide Memorial Church and began a lifelong journey ministering to everyone from celebrities to the down-and-out.
"When I came to San Francisco, immediately after that march I began to understand that I had to do a lot more in regards to the civil rights thrust," Williams said.
Also in the crowd that day was Amos Brown, a fiery young civil rights activist who knew King.
"I had gone to jail with Dr. King in Atlanta in 1960-61 and marched with him throughout the south," Brown said.
Like Williams, Brown was deeply inspired by the march and King's speech.
Brown later became the pastor of San Francisco's Third Baptist Church.
"I never forgot it and I made in my enduring, continuous effort, to speak for justice, for peace," he said.

This situation obviously does not reflect well on the Pack and in that sense, I'm bothered simply by the fact that this has been a distraction. I'm also a bit bothered by the fact that anonymous Packers have said Underwood has had other behavioral issues during his time in GB. And on a fundamental level, I'm bothered by the possibility that despite no charges being filed, he may acted disrespectfully toward women.
However, I have intentionally waited until now to write something about all of this because I wanted to see if any charges were pressed against him. It appears that there will not be any charges. Like the Big Ben situation, just because there were no charges, this does not mean Underwood WASN'T doing something wrong – but it also does mean that there were no formal charges against the guy. And, I'll admit that when I learned the stories of the two alleged victims had changed over time, I became suspicious of them/their motives. Either way, I'm ready to move on.
A more concerning tidbit I came across this morning was that 34 year-old Charles Woodson, who has 3 years left on his present contract, may be exploring the possibility of having his contract reworked. He is due another $20 mil over these next three years, but he's also a smart guy and realizes that he outperformed his contract last year as DPY. Frankly, I hope this situation just fizzles out – and I can't imagine he'd get overly worked up if his contract isn't reworked.
