Ideas about Act One Scene three
Banquo: He calls the witches instruments of darkness, suggesting that they are from hell and that they are not to be trusted. The use of the words instruments means that even the witches themselves might not be in control and are simply being used themselves.
Banquo is being characterised in a more positive way – he is not being tempted or deceived, but is looking at the witches as though they are evil. Macbeth contrasts with this.
He says that the witches' news is both good and bad mixed up in one – both positive and evil simultaneously. This links to the emerging theme of the play – Foul is Fair – the mixing and reversal of opposites where a good thing can in fact be evil – much like the news that Macbeth has just received from the witches.
He is very disturbed by the power of the witches – he feels that the witches have read his mind – they know that he secretly wants to be king. This would suggest that he has for some time wanted to kill
He is trying to justify his ambitions to himself: If chance will have me king, why chance will crown me. If it is his destiny to become king then he will not try to stop events from unfolding. If he follows this idea and lets events unfold naturally then this means that he will not kill the king. This is because if he kills the king then he starts to make his own destiny. However, we have already seen him make his own destiny – 'disdaining fortune'.
We see him at this moment struggling with himself – the two halves of his character are arguing out together what they want and what they will do. He is a divided, dual and conflicted character.
Act One Scene Four:
Summary of the scene:
The king declares that Malcolm his eldest son will become his heir.
Macbeth invites the King to stay with him and his wife and he will contact his wife to let her know that the king is on his way.
We learn that the original Thane of C. has died. He has been executed because of treason. He has repented for what he has done - he regrets what he's done. He meets death as though life is meaningless and has no value.
Dramatic irony:
Definition – when the audience knows something or has information that the characters in the play do not have.
What impact does this level of knowledge have upon the drama: This makes the relationship between the audience and the characters disjointed – we feel strangely powerless because we want to be able to let the characters know but we can't. It shows that characters can be two-faced – we can be aware of their true personality and intentions. We get to see events as they happen – there is no narrator in the way shaping, changing and manipulating.
Macbeth says that his duties are to the king – it is job to protect the king and yet all the time we know that he wants to kill the king and take that power.
praises Macbeth is a source of
dramatic irony because we know that he doesn't deserve it. Duncan
Stars hide your fires – Macbeth has an urge in him to do something evil.
The Thane of Cawdor: the old one dies and Macbeth has taken his place – Macbeth will become this traitor who has no care for life. He will die.
Act One Scene Five:
Lady Macbeth doubts herself sometimes
Characterised to seem either equal to or more powerful than Macbeth
Portrayed to be amoral and this is the aspect that seems to be missing from Macbeth if he is to kill
. Duncan
She is portrayed as being devious and cunning: 'pour my spirits into thine ear'. This shows deviousness because she is planning to poison Macbeth's mind by convincing him to do something that she herself wants.
She likes to think of herself as powerful and strong, but the reality is that she is weak and scared. This is shown through her desire to be stronger – she cannot escape from the reality of her weakness but wishes that she could. Her weakness and fear is also shown when she snaps at the messenger.
She may be sadistic – she seems to be excited at the prospect of
dying. Duncan
She is scared of herself – She wants 'thick night' because she wants to hide from both herself and from God when she kills
. Duncan
'Unsex me': she doesn't want to be feminine because her femininity doesn't match with her evilness.
Act One, Scene 7
Macbeth's soliloquy:
If they do kill the king that it should be done quickly because he doesn't want the king to have a painful death. It may also mean that there is less time for him to have to think about it – he can't cope with the fear and stress of having to plan the murder. Also he may be anxious in case they are discovered.
Macbeth gives a list of reasons for why he should not kill that king. He's his kin's man – they are the same family. Also, he is the host – traditionally that meant that you had to protect, feed and care for your guests.
He is worried about being judged in the afterlife – he wants to jump the life to come and he fears judgement – he is scared that he will go to hell.
He is scared of setting off a chain reaction of revenge and murder.
He reveals how much he likes
Duncan – he presents as king in a very positive way. Duncan is a good king. Duncan
Macbeth uses the extended metaphor of using spurs to prick a jumping horse but believes that he will ultimately fall.
The purpose of this speech is that Macbeth is trying to persuade himself. In fact, he persuades himself not to kill
How does this affect the audiences' perception of Macbeth:
He's weak because he is too scared to commit murder. It seems strange that he doesn't want to kill because he is a warrior.
Alternatively, it could be argued that that speech actually shows that he is stronger because he is able to reason with and control the evil side of himself. This is very different to Lady Macbeth who does not have this level of self-control
How does Lady Macbeth persuade Macbeth to kill
? Duncan
She questions his manhood and she tells him that he isn't a man: 'then you were a man'
She tells him that they will blame the murder on the chamberlain men
She makes him feel as if he has gone a bit insane 'shall be a fume in the receipt of reason'.
He's a different man to the one who originally proposed the idea: 'what beast was it then that made you break this enterprise to me'
Macbeth says that she is so strong and determined and war-like that she can only produce male children 'bring forth men only children'.
What does Lady Macbeth claim she would be prepared to do?
Lady Macbeth says that she is so set on and determined to kill
that she would even be prepared to kill her own child because she has promised
to kill the king – she would do anything if she had given her word to do it.
Even murder a child. Duncan
Today it is very windy and
got pushed into a bin (5th December 2013). She says that it was

Homework for Act 1, Scene 3
To finish off the work that we did in class today (Friday 29th Nov.), I would like you to have a look at two key areas of this Act 1, Scene 3.
1. The first is a short section of dialogue spoken by Banquo in which he warns Macbeth not to trust the witches entirely.
Make notes on any thing that you think is interesting or important about this.
2. Next, have a look at Macbeth's section of dialogue after he has found out that he is Thane of Cawdor. He speaks in asides and at this moment Shakespeare reveals a great deal about this character's thoughts, fears and ambitions.
Make notes on anything that you think is interesting or important.
Due the first lesson that we have next week for whole class discussion.

Due the first lesson that we have next week for whole class discussion.
Class discussion notes so far - Act 1, Scene 1 - Act 1, Scene 3
Possible question:
What is the play's mystery?
Act one, scene one
Where there's good there's bad
The duality of man – there is good and evil in everyone
Much of the play is written in blank verse – this is poetry that is written in iambic pentameter
Foreshadowing: there will be a battle and that they are going to meet Macbeth
Pathetic fallacy – thunder and lightening represents the evil, horror and the unpredictability
Use of rhyme represents the chanting and the spell of the witches – the prophecy.
The theme of good and evil is Gothic – the use of mirror images is a key symbol and conceit within the wider gothic genre
The use of cats and toads – the animals most commonly associated with witches – it was thought they watches could adopt these shapes and voices.
Act One, Scene two
What has occurred in the battle according to the character of the captain?
Mcdonwald has rebelled against king Duncan
Macbeth is the hero in the battle – he beheaded McDonwald and stuck the head on the battlements. As well as this he disemboweled him. At this stage in the play, McD. Is the Thane of Cawdor.
As a result of his heroic action, Macbeth is given the now empty title of Thane of Cawdor
They are attacked twice and each time Macbeth is victorious.
McD is fighting with the King of Norway in order to try and overthrow
. At the beginning of the play Macbeth
saves Duncan 's
crown. Duncan
Another warrior involved in the battle who is fighting alongside Macbeth is Banquo.
Questions for characterisation of Macbeth in this scene:
How is Macbeth characterised?
To what extent does the initial characterisation of Macbeth reflect the theme of the duality of man?
Hero? Villain? Anti Hero? What are we meant to think at this stage in the play?
Act One, Scene 3
The scene begins with the plans for murder of the first witch. Shakespeare has done this because he wants to show that they play around with people's lives and to show their power and to show their rash evil and cruelty. They are defying nature and this is shown because they are taking away life and reversing growth. They are in effect torturing him.
Why is this being shown to us at this point in the play: This foreshadows how they will go on to control Macbeth. Also, that they are going to play with his life and make it miserable. There is a mirroring between the Captain of the ship and Macbeth – the wife seems to be the cause for the disasters. Also, there is no end to the Captain's suffering and this is the exact experience felt by Macbeth. They torture the captain, they go on to torture Macbeth.
What are the key events in this scene?
- Macbeth and B. see the witches but don't really know what they are
- They seem to sense that these three beings are evil – 'imperfect'
- B. seems to insult them – the addition of humour? – they have beards and their gender is not clear. This may suggest that they are not human – they are some form of supernatural force
- The witches tell the two men that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and then king
- Macbeth and B. seem to brush this to one side and do not believe that this is possible. Macbeth may be angry that they have said this – he does not understand why they have let him know. He is either angry or tempted by the suggestion – this is backed up by Banquo's observations of Macbeth directly after hearing the witches' prophecy. Macbeth 'starts' – this may show his excitement at power; he doesn't want them to say it. He seems to be scared that they can see into his mind and the deeper implication is that he has been thinking about becoming king already.
- At the end after the witches disappear, M. and B. talk together as though they want the events to come true. Evidence: your children shall be kings.

Two European trademarks protecting the combination of blue and silver colours used by the energy drink supplier were held to be invalid by the EU's General Court on the grounds that they did not meet the requirements of a trademark. Although the EUTMs – the first registered in 2002; the second in 2010 – were found to have met the tests of acquired distinctiveness, they were not displayed with sufficient precision in the applications to warrant trademark protection, according to the Court.
Red Bull's 2002 mark was registered for the colour combination blue and silver for class 32 ('Energy drinks'). The description in the graphic representation in the application describes the ratio of the colors as 'approximately' 50-50. In 2010, a second EU trade mark application was submitted, which concerned the same graphic representation, but with a different description, namely that the two colours will be 'applied in equal proportions and juxtaposed to each other'.
Initially, the applications were approved by the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on the basis that the signs had acquired distinctive character through long-term and intensive use. However, Polish company Optimum Mark filed an application for a declaration of invalidity against both marks in 2013. EUIPO's Cancellation Division and later Board of Appeal agreed with the declaration, leading Red Bull to appeal to the EU's General Court.
The test for trademark registration
On appeal, the EU's General Court confirmed the registrations to be invalid, on the basis that neither mark met the requirements of what constitutes a trademark. In particular, the ruling states that signs consisting of a combination of two or more colours must contain "a systematic arrangement associating the colours in a predetermined and uniform way".
Further, a trademark application which merely consists of a juxtaposition of two or more colours, or just mentioning the colours on the application as being 'in all conceivable forms' does not meet the requirements of accuracy and durability, and therefore cannot function as a colour mark.
This is because the descriptions as submitted by Red Bull implies too many possible colour combinations, allowing them to arranged in multiple ways which would produce a very different overall impression. In other words, the contested marks as registered were not sufficiently precise.
What does the ruling mean for brand owners?
As we have written previously, it can be difficult for companies to assert their rights to use a particular colour or colour combination. The reality is that, as popular as colour-related trademark applications are among brand owners, many trademark offices seem reluctant to accept such registrations on the grounds that they offer too broad a protection to brand owners (e.g. a monopoly to a colour).
This latest ruling does, however, provide some insight into the strict requirements for protection that need to be met; in particular in terms of the 'systematic', 'predetermined' and 'uniform' wording that needs to be used in the description of any future trademark application. Unfortunately, it does not offer any exact guidance on how to meet those requirements. It will be interesting to see whether Red Bull now appeals to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), which could lead to further clarity in this matter.

Guild Ball - Figo League Starts This Week
Guild Ball has taken off at the First Founding Gaming club, with five or six games occurring each work. It's now so popular, everyone has been requesting we start a league. Rather than pitch straight in with Season Two's excellent 'Big League' system, we will kick off with Season One's Figo League Cup system, but use Season 2 plot cards.
After the break, is the rules for the Figo League Cup.
Registration starts this Friday for the Figo League Cup system.
The Figo Cup is a Guild Ball mini-league designed for players who regularly meet at a local
gaming store or club. It is designed as a great starting point for any club or group who are
interested in exploring the game by providing a relaxed and fun introduction to the world of
Guild Ball.
This will be a great start for our club. With many new players, myself included, it's the best build up to Season Two's huge change, the Big League. It should also give Steamforged some time to release all those Season two models in time for the club to start a Big League.
Season Two plot cards will be in use over the now quite outdated Season one cards, I'm excited to get stuck in.
League Rules
- Play every team once
- 3 Points for win, 1 point for draw and 0 points for a loss
That's it! Very simple.
There are some great awards up for grabs though.
- The Figo Cup Winner - Highest 'League Points' score at the end of the League.
- The Artisan - Best painted team (Judged on the final week of the Cup)
- The Game Keeper - Highest 'Mascots Taken Out' score
- The Show Boat Scores - Most number of goals
- The Iron Curtain - Concedes the least number of goals
- Infamous - Highest 'Infamy' score
Certificates signed by Rich Loxam; Co Creator of Guild Ball!
So lot's to play for. Time to think about my Roster!
No surprises, I'm taking Masons. It's the team I picked up at Salute 2016, and the only team I have experience with. I also love their play style, they can score and give out a lot of punishment.
'Strength in Depth' Roster build is in affect. Which means one Captain, one Mascot and six other eligible players.
My Roster
- Hammer (Cpt)
- Marbles (Mst)
- Brick
- Mallet
- Chisel
- Flint
- Mist (Union)
- Minx (Union)
I have yet play with Honour as captain, I've only been playing a few months and Hammer looked a much better miniature. I will perhaps try Honour in a future friendly game, but for right now I love using Hammer. He's hard hitting and very resilient. You can stack all the influence on him or spread the influence and he can still do a lot of damage. 'Hammer Time' is a great Heroic Play. It suddenly turns average kickers into massive threats.
Sadly, there is no model for Wrecker yet. So I'm stuck with Marbles for now. He can dish out 'Singled Out' which can be very handy, and 'Goad' a player to prevent them from attacking a ball carrier for example.
Brick is a solid choice against those that like to hit hard. His counter and 'Tough Hide' means you can stick him in the middle to the field and create a bubble that will make the opposition think twice about charging in to.
Mallet is a solid choice, he has a 3" melee zone which can help deal with those pesky players with 'Unpredictable Movement' and his 'Football Legend' aura has helped me more than once score a vital goal.
My favourite player in the whole Mason's team is Chisel. She's is an emo superstar! If you don't take her out in one go, she will cause a tonne of pain. And with Hammer's heroic play she can use 'Iron Fist' on herself to deal even more damage. 2 / 6" may not feel like great kick stats but with 'Ball Hog' she's now 3 / 6" and a much bigger threat.
You can't have a Mason's team with Flint. He will score you goals galore. I've started leaving him back field until mid game, when he can make some plays and score goals at vital times. If you push him up early to score in the first or second turn he usually ends up on his arse.
Next come my two Union player picks. Most people pick Decimate in a Mason's team, but he's just too boring for me. 'Second Wind' is the reason you take him, but I like to score goals or kill players, and he doesn't help as much as my other players in that regard.
Mist is a quality player. If she starts in cover she has 22" goal threat range. She gives some great support to my goal scoring ability. This is Guild Ball after all, and I find myself always trying to out score my opponents.
Minx is probably the surprise pick, but I find she needs very little influence to contribute to the team. She's 'Furious' so gets a free charge, and if that player is damaged she's suddenly charging 11", coupled with 'Screeching Banshee' she can really cripple a player at key moments in the game.
So that's my team. I'm super excited to get started with the League, I'm not sure how well I will do as I've very little experience against any team other than Butchers. It will be fun!
On a side note, I'm super excited for Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower that is released this week. I won't be buying just yet, as I've told myself no new models until I've finished painting everything I have, but I'm excited to play it down the club with the guys. Expect some write ups soon.

Wybunbury Tower
© 2015 Wybunbury Tower Trust
Registered Charity Number: 517869 Website Designed by R.Masser
Members Login
Believe it or not, the village of Wybunbury and the Italian town of Pisa have something in common
Wybunbury's 29.3 m tower is all that remains of a late fifteenth century church demolished in 1833. (Later churches, replacing the fifteenth century one, were also demolished in 1892 and 1977). The tower was stabilised using under excavation by James Trubshaw in 1832 and this is the earliest known application of the technique, which was also used more notably to stabilise the Leaning Tower of Pisa! So it could be claimed that if it wasn't for Wybunbury one of the world's most famous monuments may have inclined its way to a decline.
There are four Commonwealth service war graves of World War I in the original churchyard and, in the neighbouring churchyard extension, another three from the same war as well as four from World War II.
The parish also includes the lowland raised bog of Wybunbury Moss, a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest.

This has been such an overdue post I've been meaning to work on! I had such an amazing birthday this year, each year is always a quiet one, but this year felt extra special for many reasons. Mainly because I felt and received so much love from all my friends and family and having them all spoil and spend my special day with me meant so much to me. I haven't had a party or celebrated much of my birthdays since my 21st. I just grew out of having parties, and basically becoming a grandma/homebody if you'd like to call it that — I'm just happy doing something small with the people that are close to me.
I'm not going to lie, turning 26 came to a shock to me, I still feel like I am 19. I'm not afraid of growing older, I'm more so very aware of how fast these years are flying by and it is quite scary. I was so spoilt by everyone this year, I honestly don't have the words on how grateful I was for all the beautiful gifts I had received. Although my birthday was about 2 months ago (11th of March) it definitely went by so fast. I like to think my birthday lasts for the whole month of March so I make the most of that whole month — surely, I am not the only one who does this during their birthday month, right?
From my beautiful boyfriend (Amon), he had gifted me many of my wish list items I've been wanting for so long. Every few years when it comes to my birthday (I've mentioned this before in previous posts) he likes to surprise me with a new Apple product. During our early teens he use to buy me an iPod (those days of the shuffle, nano, etc). For my 18th he gifted me a white MacBook, for my 21st he gifted me an iMac and my 26th a new MacBook Pro to add to my Apple family. I was thinking of doing a tech type of post, if you would like to see all the gadgets and equipment technology I use, let me know!
I have been in need of a new laptop for quite some time now (since 2008), for a while I was using my iPad air as a substitute laptop. I had bought a bluetooth keyboard that connect with it from Logitech and it worked well for bringing with me on my travels when I needed to get work done. However, it did come to a point where I was very limited in terms of what I could and access as it wasn't an actual computer. I still enjoy using my iPad, but for blogging on-the-go it is very limited as I had to keep doing most of my work on the iMac and make sure I had my USB or hardrive backed up before leaving anywhere. I am so in love with this MacBook Pro, from the thin body, the size of the 15-inch to the beautiful retina display. It is super fast and I've been using it non-stop ever since he had gifted it to me. He told me that he wanted to get me a new gadget for my new job and where I could work on it from anywhere and bring my work with me. I am forever grateful, he always spoils me with so many beautiful things.
As if that wasn't enough, he had extra gifts for me, which he had actually gifted me before he had surprised me with the MacBook Pro. It was such a beautiful night, I remember he had come home from work and I hadn't seen him much that whole week because he had so many long shifts. He came home and quickly went into the front room and started putting together my gift — he told me I wasn't allowed to go near there until he was finished, so I went and did my own thing. When he was finished he went and hid all my presents around our room while I was in the shower and when I came back out he told me to go look for each present.
The first one I found was the Diptyque Candle in the scent Feu De Bois Gris in the large size, after a while of looking I couldn't find anything else. He had hid them so well so he passed the next presents to me which was the Byredo Perfume in Gypsy Water and the NARS Velvet Lip Pencil in Bettina. Of course, he had access to my Wunderlist and knew exactly what I had on my wish list. I can't believe he surprised me with all these beautiful items, it was way too much and I was only turning 26 as well, he is seriously insane, and I love him so much. We went on a date night for my birthday and spent the night catching up and doing what we love most. He had also surprised me with the cutest Tea Pot cake which I posted on Instagram here.
My amazing sister (Linda) surprised me when I went over to her place to visit the day before my birthday. She gifted me this Tiffany & Co Horseshoe Pendant Necklace she had picked up for me. (She also has access to my wish list and of course chose to get me this.) She told me it was very fitting for me as I am the year of horse in my Chinese star sign. I think this necklace is absolutely stunning and I knew I wanted this as soon as I had spotted it online beginning of this year. Tiffany & Co is one of my favourite jewellery brands, I love the aesthetic of it and how minimal and dainty their jewellery is. I will treasure this necklace forever.
On the night of my birthday my sister had also surprised me with these White Leather Converse Sneakers. It wasn't on my wish list, but she knew it was something I've had my eyes on for a while. I love how these shoes go with almost everything, they are so comfy and sleek looking. For once I have a pair of Converse that my sister won't knick off me, every pair I've owned from Chucks to the originals she has stolen from me after I wore it a few times. She told me it was time she had gifted me back a pair that she "won't" take — she is so cute. I have almost worn these Converse everyday and they are my definite go-to shoe at the moment. I love the white leather so much!
From my gorgeous little niece (Sutiida) she had written and made me a birthday card (in the first picture) and also gifted me some sea shells she picked up while on her excursion with her school at Cottesloe Beach. She placed them in an old Pandora ring box I gave her a while ago and I honestly was left speechless. She is the most sweet and thoughtful little girl, I love her attention to detail and how much she thought of me when she put these beautiful pieces together. It's amazing how children think and what a wide imagination they have, I miss having that imagination. As an adult we forget to cherish the little things in life, although we tend to remind ourselves the main people who can show us this is children.
Mum and Dad had gifted me a Myer Gift Card, and a nice little note on a Chinese Li Xi envelope. I definitely put it to good use and picked up a few makeup items. I still have a bit of money left on my gift card, which I am still deciding what else I should get. Maybe some restock items, even though that's never as exciting as ticking off the wish list. I was actually really happy Mum and Dad did this as most of the years they just gave me actual money or sometimes nothing besides saying "Happy Birthday" to me (which I am still very grateful of). But, I think it is the fact they went out to get me an actual gift card from Myer and wrote a note that made it feel so special with that extra touch to it. Of course, it was Mum who went out and bought it and Dad just added his name to it. Let's be real here, I have Asian parents and they put little to nothing effort when it comes to these things, so this is as good as it gets, haha. Mum and Dad also surprised me with another lovely birthday cake on the day of our family BBQ to celebrate my birthday — (so, yes I did have two birthday cakes this year, yay).
One of my closest friends (Lisa) had surprised me with two beautiful presents of which I know she put a lot of thought into (like all the presents she surprises me with). We went out for brunch that morning and she had taken me to May Street Larder cafe where we spent the morning catching up and chatting our little heads off as we always do. She gave me my presents and I was so surprised and so in love! She gifted me a Diptyque Solid Perfume in the scent Don Son —which I had smelt before and it is absolutely stunning. I gifted Lisa a Diptyque Solid Perfume in Philosykos as part of her Christmas present in 2015, as I knew she really liked that scent when she smelt my Philosykos perfume. I've never owned the solid perfumes before, and after I gifted it to her I knew I wanted one as well! I didn't even know the scent Don Son was in solid form, so when she surprised me with it I was over the moon.
She also gifted me this stunning Chanel Compact Mirror, she didn't know it was something I was actually hunting for, while I was in Melbourne last year. I didn't end up getting it for myself, so when she had bought it for me I was so happy. I swear, our brains are in sync and sometimes we think very a-like! There have been way too many times where we've had coincidental moments together, i.e., wearing similar outfits on our dates and exact same thoughts! I love that I can put these two items in my bag and take it everywhere with me. The compact mirror has come very handy for me when I am out, it has a magnified side and a normal mirror side.
Last but not least my lovely friend Evelyn joined me to go to Pilates class and when she took me home she gifted me my birthday present. She is the sweetest girl, she gifted me a T2 Clear Glass Tea Cup and Saucer and a Lush Cup O' Coffee Face/Body Mask. She told me she knew I had a clear tea pot and that this teacup and saucer would go perfectly with it. I love the minimal look to it and how everything is just glass, definitely knows my style! I love Lush — I think anyone who knows me knows I adore that store. I actually had been wanting to try the Cup O' Coffee mask since I saw it launch, I've used it several times now and can definitely say I love it and it has made my skin feel so refreshed and detoxed each time I use it.
Thank you so much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and all the lovely and kind things everyone in my life had done for me to make my day. As each birthday year goes by I always feel so privileged to have such amazing people in my life. I love that everyone close to me makes effort to spend time with me and share their love on my birthday — just to make my day that extra bit special.

They say even if it is just corrosion, that's not a hardware problem, so they won't help. Do I have any recourse? And is there any way I can turn on the phone long enough to at least wipe it clean?

Thierry Henry reflected the feelings of all Arsenal fans when he said: Alexis Sanchez is Arsene Wenger's best signing in the last six years.
The Chilean striker, 26, has won the hearts of Gooners with a sensational debut season since his £33million summer move from Barcelona.
He has been the shining light in Arsenal's worst start to a campaign in a generation — and has all but single-handedly kept them in top-four contention.
Emirates hero Henry said: "He's the best signing in the last six years. Arsenal were looking for a player that can deliver on a daily basis — and they have found one
"He is brilliant, so is his work-rate. He can see the game incredibly as you saw with his part in the Koscielny goal against Stoke on Sunday.
"He scores and doesn't need a lot of opportunities to put the ball in back of the net.
"And that is very important. He is a very, very good player and you know that if he is on tune, then Arsenal have a lot of chances to win the game.
"It is still early days but so far it is very good. He is doing extremely well.
"He is going to score goals but it is his all-round game that I am so impressed with.
"That has no price. As a fan, as any Arsenal fan, we were waiting to have a player like that. Finally we have one."
But did Henry think Sanchez would become the leader of Arsenal almost instantly?
The greatest Gunner in history added: "Yeah. He struggled at the beginning, like everybody. But when he got into a rhythm, you can see the quality.
"We should all be happy with him, especially Arsenal. He is going to be great player for many years."
Few people know the Barcelona dressing room, dominated by the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi, like Henry, who spent three glory-filled seasons at the Nou Camp after quitting north London in 2007.
Arsenal's all-time record scorer was not surprised Barca let such a talent slip from their grasp but refused to say why.
He said: "I don't want to elaborate on that, but I wasn't surprised, no."
The former skipper insisted that Arsenal are not becoming over-reliant on Sanchez to carry the team — and argued that the Gunners will only be successful as
a team.
He added: "In some of the games when he hasn't appeared, Arsenal have won them. It is not always down to him.
"As when I was playing there, you need a team around you. Sanchez didn't have a great game against West Ham, for example — and they won.
"He didn't have a great game against QPR and they won, so there you go. You play with 11 players on the field, it has to be a team effort.
"I haven't been around the dressing room for a long time and I don't know what they are working on.
"But, from afar, they don't seem so far away. Having said that, they are still some distance from the top spot.
"All I will say is, that when he is in tune, it is way better for Arsenal. On the other side, it is going to take a team effort to get back to the top. They have lacked continuity and that is why there is a gap from the top."

Christmas Past
Every Christmas is the same at the Dean Roberts home.
shop, shop, shop,
run, run, run,
spend, spend, spend
wrap, wrap, wrap,
Then I wake up Christmas morning exhausted and grumpy.
However Christmas morning is certainly glorious
and usually overflowing with stuff.
We unwrap like crazy...
and then ... There is a big let down for me.
I don't know why...actually I do.
I feel my kids are missing out on really participating
in the "giving" part of Christmas.
I know I have said this before,
but we tell our kids that Christmas is more about "giving" than "getting"
then we go about asking them everyday "what are you going to get for Christmas?"
As if that is all that should matter to a kid.
I am determined, no resolute that this year will be different.
I don't know how yet.
Don't get me wrong, we have some great family traditions,
and yes; my kiddies will be receiving Christmas presents this year
probably lots of them, I just want to try something different.
Any suggestions? Let me know what works for you.
I have a few ideas, and I will keep you posted.
One year on Christmas Eve we had a traditional feast on our living room floor
complete with un-leven bread, olives, cheese, grape juice, fruit etc.
and we read the "Christmas Story."
Maybe I will try that again this year.

Lance Armstrong Endorses Trump Aug 3, 2016 | Posted by eTruePolitics | News Stories | 0 comments | New York (eTruePolitics) – Former professional cyclist Lance Armstrong announced today that he was supporting current Republican candidate Donald Trump for president. Armstrong spoke to the press after a private conversation in Trump Tower. "Those of us with a genetic predisposition to lying know how insidious our disease is," explained Armstrong, "and we understand the courage it takes to admit we have a problem. Mr. Trump shared with me that he knew he had a prevarication problem and said he was working on it but it was hard because people are so stupid and he gets tempted a lot. Which I totally get. "Also, Mr. Trump said that even though he wasn't pivoting one bit, he promised me that he would reduce his daily lying by so much I wouldn't believe it and not attack any Gold Star parents unless he is provoked,'" said Armstrong. "I believe him." Tags: Donald TrumpLance ArmstrongVince Foster

Only You Can Prevent Oak Wilt
Robert Edmonson-Biologist II-Texas Forest Service
February 23, 2009
With spring just around the corner, so too is the threat of oak wilt: the deadly disease that has killed thousands of oaks in 72 counties in central and west Texas. The Texas Forest Service (TFS) reminds the citizens of Texas this is the prime season for starting new oak wilt infections.
New oak wilt infections are created when sap-feeding beetles carry oak wilt spores to
fresh cuts or wounds on oaks. Tree sap from fresh wounds can attract sap-feeding beetles that may be carrying these oak wilt spores. When these spores are introduced to the wound, a new oak wilt infection is created. To prevent this from occurring, TFS recommends to:
1) Avoid pruning or wounding oaks from February through June.
2) Immediately paint cuts or wounds on oaks, regardless of season.
Wounding includes but is not limited to: pruning, construction activities, animal damage, land clearing, lawnmower or string trimmer damage, and storm damage.
Oak wilt spores and increased beetle activity occur in spring; therefore avoid pruning or wounding oaks during this most vulnerable time. Fresh wounds produce sap which in turn attract sap-feeding beetles; therefore apply paint to pruning cuts or other wounds immediately to prevent spore-carrying beetles from visiting your oak. Any type of paint will accomplish this task. These recommendations apply only to oaks as only oaks are susceptible to oak wilt.
Other preventative measures include using caution when selecting and transporting oak
wilt killed firewood and destroying diseased red oaks that can potentially produce oak wilt spores.

MARTINSBURG, W.VA. - A candlelight vigil will be held tonight at 9 p.m. at Shepherd University in memory of two students who died Saturday after they were shot in a campus parking lot by their father, who then shot himself.
Sponsored by the Student Government Association, the vigil for brothers Logan P. Pennington, 26, and Benjamin M. Pennington, 24, will be at the Midway on the East Campus near the football stadium, university spokesperson Valerie Owens said.
Viewing hours at Schaeffer Funeral Home at 11 N. Main St., Petersburg, W.Va., will be from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight, according to the university. The funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home.
On Tuesday, West Virginia State Police Trooper K.W. Martin reviewed the contents of the students' dorm room with family members in an attempt to determine if any "precursor" evidence, such as a journal or diary, would help explain the motive of their father, Douglas Pennington, Sgt. E.D. Anderson said.

The Best Advice on Businesses I've found
Advantages Of Microbrews A microbrew is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer in that they produce beer at a smaller scale as opposed to larger scales and are usually independently owned and it brews its own beer so that it can be bale to sell it on their own premises. There are several pub places which prefer brewing their own beer as it is often deemed as much cheaper as opposed to buying it from a distributor as they are considered to be very expensive amongst other technicalities. However micro brewing is considered to have a couple of benefits in that it has a wide variety of taste as one is able to make different flavors of beer in which individuals can be able to choose from this is because customized beer is considered as more tasty beer as opposed to the other industrial beers. The other benefit of microbrews is that the beer is always fresh and there is nothing sweet and good as fresh beer this is because beer is considered as a perishable food and is often affected by several factors such as light, air and bacteria and this is why beer that has stayed in the shelf for over a long period of time tends to taste stale in that it does not have the crispy taste that is usually in beer as compared to micro brewed beer which is often fresh and has the crispy taste as most individuals prefer fresh beer.
If You Think You Understand Pubs, Then Read This
Microbrews are likewise considered to utilize normal and wellbeing neighborly fixings in that mas creation of brew for the most part requires utilizing certain measures of additives to guarantee that the lager does not turn sour inside a brief timeframe not at all like microbrews which regularly utilize common fixings which are generally considered as solid additives and this frequently guarantees the brew does not have any manufactured additives and in the meantime guarantee that the brew is wellbeing for human utilization.
5 Takeaways That I Learned About Businesses
The other benefit of microbrews is that it is more cheaper as compared to industrial manufactured beer this is because the it does not require expensive additives so as to manufacture the beer but at the same time they ensure that the beer produced is of the highest quality. Small scale fermented lager additionally has a tendency to experience less procedures when contrasted with industrialized brew which must be sanitized while smaller scale blended lager must be served specifically and that is the reason the lager frequently has a charming firm flavor.

The Democrats in the House of Representatives released their version of health care reform yesterday, and the CBO clocked it in at a cool $1 trillion over 10 years. As Michelle points out, it's even worse than that. To keep the numbers down, most of the plan doesn't go into effect until 2015, back loading the bulk of the $1 trillion cost in the latter half of the next decade. This means that the overall cost will likely be much higher (in the range of $2 trillion over 10 years, from 2015 to 2025. Because the CBO only scores 10-year intervals from time of passage, the Democrats are hiding the true cost) and hitting just when Medicare and Social Security will be, by conservative estimates, going belly-up. Additionally, the preliminary scoring of the bill does not take into account many factors, such as government administrative cost. Finally, the bill doesn't even cover all uninsured, it only ends up covering 96% of the population.
Obama's health care must be in trouble, as he will be appearing on all three networks of the state-run media today to push his plan. With a CBO scoring like that, it's no wonder. Expect lots of obfuscation, half-truths, and strong man arguments from the President as he tries to lie his way to passing this radical takeover of our economy ever attempted. If Obama gets his way, we will soon be subject to rationed health care and high costs, and an industry that will no longer have any incentive to innovate and come up with new cures. Unless of course, you belong to a union, because for some reason they are exempt from all of this. Welcome to our new Socialist paradise. It's not too late to stop it, but it isn't going to be easy.

I try to be careful about what I say regarding our fish tank because I have learned good news can turn into bad very quickly.
Never, for example, talk about how pristine and crystalline your tank is unless you have tested the water. Deadly water, I have found, can be very pretty.
You may recall that when I first wrote about our fish tank in these pages I dubbed it The Fish Tank of Doom for good reason. I started off by accidentally killing, um, a few fish due to my lack of knowledge (research) about water chemistry.
Now that I am a little more knowledgeable (and a lot more pessimistic), I will risk sharing some exciting recent developments.
It would appear our little tank has become exceptionally fertile! Must be spring.
For a while now it has been home to two Harlequin Rasboras, two Peppered Corys, one Otocinclus (who is lonely and will be getting some friends soon), two Trumpet Snails and one Neon Tetra. The neon is the last of the original school (the school that survived) more than two years ago.
All of these fish have jobs to do. The rasboras and the neon are there to look pretty and dwell in the upper levels. The corys and the snails are bottom feeders who also clean up debris. The otocinclus and the snails work on algae.
A couple of weeks ago our aged neon started to look a little gaspy and his red racing-stripe tail began to fade. Boychild (they're his critters, really, although I obsess over them), is well versed in the signs of a dying fish thanks to his mother's, uh, skill, and notified me of the situation.
Sure enough, the neon gasped his last and we said our goodbyes and congratulated him for his longevity.
Meanwhile, in a lovely Circle of Life (cue Lion King music) moment, we discovered our snails had reproduced! Tiny white and brown babies were creeping across the glass.
Yes, I know. Snails can be a problem. In fact, one only needs to have a single snail to have an epidemic because they are super talented in the art of self-fertilization.
Nevertheless, we've had snails for years and this is the first time we have seen babies. So far fewer than half a dozen have appeared, but I am monitoring the situation. Obsessively. As usual.
(The tank is in Boychild's room, but I can see it from my desk. This can be either relaxing or distressing depending on the situation.)
Just when we thought we had ample excitement, the corys decided to celebrate spring as well and, as I write this, the female is skittering around the tank depositing eggs all over the place!
The kids have been called upstairs a bunch of times as their obsessive mother points out the egg laying and the latest deposit locations and the spawning dances and so on.
Another hard lesson I have learned about fish tanks is that sometimes you just have to leave things the heck alone. For example, there is no need to handle the tiny, delicate baby snails, moron, unless you are trying to eliminate them.
Similarly, this pair of corys laid eggs one other time and I did some research and determined it was probably a good idea to put the eggs in a separate tank. It didn't work out, though, so this time I have decided to just leave them where they are and see what happens.
I figure it will be one of three things: 1. The corys or some other tank inhabitant will eat the eggs. 2. The eggs will get all fuzzy and fungal and won't even hatch. 3. The eggs will hatch, but the babies will be so tiny we won't see them no matter how obsessive I am. And then someone will eat them.
By the time you read this, those eggs could be dinner!
That's okay, though. It's nature. We'll have Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom right in Boychild's room, except instead of chasing beasts with tranquilizer guns, I'll be terrorizing fish with a small flashlight.
Stay tuned!

|This article is a history page
This article contains early or scrapped production information about Legendary Pictures's Pacific Rim, and is intended to work as a history book on the film's development progress.
The Shatterdome Welding Machine is a welding machine mentioned in the artbook, Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters.[1]
The Shatterdome's welding machine is a massive construction vehicle that is piloted by one or more persons. Armed with a extensive lifting arm that allows the pilot(s) to move to and from the walls of the Shatterdome with some ease of mobility. At the tip of the lifting arm is the presumed welder. The wheels of the maintenance machine separate from the top half and fasten itself to the grooves of a beam or wall.
According to conceptual artist Ty Ruben Elingson, the welding machine was designed to climb vertically and horizontally across the Shatterdome's walls.[1] The welding machine was originally intended to be included in the film before it was scrapped for budgetary reasons.[1]

Join Garry Oak Gallery Aug. 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. for a First Fridays Celebration of oil and acrylic painter Stacey Neumiller and her scenes of farm animals. Guests will be offered chocolates, wine and a wonderful collection of local artworks.
Neumiller�s style of painting has grown out of her background as a fine artist, graphic designer and illustrator. She uses rich, bright oil or acrylic pigments in combination with strong simple compositions.
�I delight in rural farm life,� Neumiller said. �To me it�s the best possible way to live. But not everyone can or wants to live on a farm or in the country. That�s where my art comes in. I paint my vision of what rural farm life embodies: animals, birds, crops, fresh air, fragrant grass and of course, red barns. All of these things ground me and make me whole. With my art, it�s my goal to share my connection to this pure, simple lifestyle.�
Neumiller will be Garry Oak...

Southwest Art Magazine, By Julie Osterman -
There�s no deep, hidden meaning in the work of Washington-based artist Stacey Neumiller. She just hopes that her rural scenes of large subjects against miniature backgrounds amuse her viewers, �just lift them up a little bit, to give them a little smile,� she explains. Most of Neumiller�s colorful oil paintings feature animals, birds, and plants found in agricultural settings�from oversized cows, pigs, roosters, and sheep to giant corn stalks and tomato plants�which isn�t suprising considering that the artist grew up on a farm in New Jersey and remembers drawing horses at the age of 5. �I wanted to do something that combined animals and the outdoors,� Neumiller says. She started out painting en plein air but felt her work was too similar to other artists� and found it too time-consuming since she is also the mother of two boys.
Neumiller�s current series feels more natural to the artist, who works...

Stacey Neumiller's oil painting "Midnight Horse" won Best of Show and the People's Choice award at this year's Island County Fair Fine Art Show.

"I drive around Whidbey Island and get ideas." Neumiller said she looks for amusing subjects and anything that is "bright, cheerful and will make people smile." Neumiller has gravitated to oils. "I love the vibrancy of oil colors and the feelinng of the reaction between a brush and canvas," she said. "I can almost get a three dimensional result with oil."

Microsoft nega créditos sobre Reddit, fóruns, sites de jogos e Twitter que o Windows 10 is being forced on Windows 7 PCs without asking users
Este artigo intitulado "Windows 10 instala automaticamente sem a permissão, queixam-se usuários" foi escrito por Samuel Gibbs, for theguardian.com on Tuesday 15th March 2016 11.02 Tempo Universal Coordenado (Universal Time Coordinated
Windows 7 users are reporting that Windows 10 is automatically installing on their PCs without permission.
Scores of users have posted on Twitter, fóruns, Reddit and gaming sites to complain about Windows 10 automatically installing, seemingly without asking, and often in the middle of doing something important.
Reddit user LHoT10820 posted a warning, which has attracted over 2,800 Comentários, about the forced Windows 10 upgrade after it "bricked" his father's computer.
Geekygirlhere said: "Yep this happened to me this morning. Working and all of a sudden Windows closed all my programs, logged me out and started the upgrade. I quickly shut down my computer and was able to stop it but my son wasn't so lucky. Same thing happened to him today."
8165128200 dito: "We've been getting calls trickling in all week from doctor's offices, dental practices, B&Bs and roofing companies – among others – that have been hit by this and it's a fucking mess.
"In some cases the upgrade went OK and the user is just really confused. In others, Windows 10 is asking for a login password the user set years ago and hasn't used since, that was fun. In still another it's screwed up access to their shared folders."
Even senior reporter Patrick Klepek for gaming site Kotaku was seemingly forced into an upgrade to Windows 10.
'Recommended update'
Microsoft recently changed the Windows 10 upgrade from "optional" to "recommended", making it one level below the highest "critical" designation within Windows Update, the software update system built into Windows. The change means that if users have Windows update on Windows 7, 8 ou 8.1 set to 'install all recommended updates', which many will do, the Windows 10 upgrade will automatically download to a user's computer.
But Microsoft insists that Windows 10 will not automatically install without asking for explicit permission.
A Microsoft spokesperson said: "We shared in late October on the Windows Blog, we are committed to making it easy for our Windows 7 e Windows 8.1 customers to upgrade to Windows 10. As stated in that post, we have updated the upgrade experience to make it easier for customers to schedule a time for their upgrade to take place. Customers continue to be fully in control of their devices, and can choose to not install the Windows 10 upgrade or remove the upgrade from Windows Update by changing the Windows Update settings."
Microsoft also states that reports that Windows 10 being forced on users are "not accurate" and suggests that users who seeing Windows 10 installed unexpectedly might have pre-selected to upgrade to the new operating system.
A Microsoft spokesperson said in a Q&A: "We have updated the upgrade experience for some of our customers, who had previously reserved their upgrade, to schedule a time for their upgrade to take place."
Users may have also have unwittingly clicked or tapped on the 'accept' or 'OK' button, which user interface elements such as Windows Access Control and the modern trend of extensive permissions and password requests bombarding users with pop-ups demanding action, has trained users to do.
De qualquer jeito, it is catching users unaware, without an obvious warning that significant changes will be made to their computers, and often in the middle of work, leading users to Twitter to vent their frustration.
For some, Windows 10 has been a breath of fresh air, o best version of Windows to date and an excellent software backing for 2-in-1 machines such as the Microsoft Surface Livro. But Microsoft has been aggressive in its efforts to get users to upgrade, offering the new operating system for free and making it part of Windows Update rather than a manual download from the Windows Store or similar.
From Microsoft's perspective it is imperative users upgrade and get in the habit of upgrading, as users of Apple's OS X have, to avoid the legacy support issues the company has faced with Windows XP. Microsoft has struggled to convince users to upgrade from XP, even after the software dropped out of support.
Many see Windows 7 as being the next Windows XP, where users and businesses remain unconvinced about the benefits of upgrading and remain stuck on software that ended mainstream support on 13 Janeiro 2015 and ends its extended support on 14 Janeiro 2020, after which it will not receive much needed security updates in the same way XP no longer does.
Windows 10 – labeled as the last version of Windows with its constant upgrades – is seen as the answer, but users have to upgrade to it first.
