BMW Motorsport at Nürburgring 2015 DTM Racing
Munich (DE), 21st September 2015. The DTM is at the Nürburgring (DE) this weekend for races 15 and 16 of the season. It is the final showdown in the exciting series before the grand finale in Hockenheim (DE) on 17th/18th October. The BMW teams travel to the Eifel Mountains brimming with confidence on the back of impressive recent outings in Oschersleben (DE). Furthermore, BMW lines up as leader in the Manufacturers' Championship for the first time this season.
BMW Team MTEK and BMW Team RBM both stood out at the "Motorsport Arena Oschersleben", each claiming a one-two on Saturday and Sunday respectively. The weekend in the "Magdeburger Börde" region is also one that DTM rookie Tom Blomqvist (GB) will not forget in a hurry. The young Brit claimed his maiden DTM win for BMW Team RBM.
Although they must now line up with considerably more performance weight on board their BMW M4 DTM, the eight BMW drivers have their sights set firmly on scoring more valuable points on the 3.629-kilometre variant of the Nürburgring. Since 1984, this circuit has been a permanent fixture on the DTM calendar. BMW drivers did contest a number of races on the 20-kilometre Nordschleife in the 1980s and 1990s. In total, BMW Motorsport so far has ten DTM victories at the Nürburgring to its name.
Last year, pole-sitter Marco Wittmann (DE) led from start to finish to claim a valuable win en route to the Drivers' title and present BMW Team RMG with its first home win in the Eifel Mountains. The 25-year-old also clocked the fastest lap of the race in a time of 1:23.175 – a track record in a DTM car.
Quotes ahead of the eighth race weekend of 2015 at the Nürburgring.
Jens Marquardt (BMW Motorsport Director):
"After the successful weekend in Oschersleben, we now arrive at the Nürburgring leading the Manufacturers' Championship. This is obviously only a snap-shot, and we will not let it go to our heads. We remain realistic, as there is a very thin line between success and defeat this season in the DTM. Whatever happens, I am very pleased that we are proving to be strong across the broad in 2015. When our overall package allows it, we have taken our chances to win and scored valuable points with many drivers. It will certainly not be easy in the Eifel Mountains. Despite this, we will do everything in our power to score as many points as possible. After all, we want to put on a great show out on the track for all the BMW fans at the ring – of whom there are traditionally a lot. We are looking forward to the weekend, as the races at the Nürburgring are always rather special."
Stefan Reinhold (Team Principal, BMW Team RMG):
"We will always remember our victory at the Nürburgring in 2014. That success, on our own doorstep, was very special – and it goes without saying that we are looking forward to our home event again this season. The DTM remains exciting, and the latest results have shown that anything is still possible. We will be fully focussed on that fact again at the Nürburgring. We have to remain on the ball."
Charly Lamm (Team Principal, BMW Team Schnitzer):
"BMW Team Schnitzer has many fond memories of the Nürburgring. Our successes at the 24-hour race were obviously special milestones, but Bruno Spengler's DTM victory en route to winning the 2012 Drivers' Championship was also a highlight. We scored points with both drivers in Oschersleben, and António Félix da Costa made it onto the podium. That felt good, and we are looking to build on that success in the Eifel Mountains, although they will certainly not be easy races."
Bart Mampaey (Team Principal, BMW Team RBM):
"Sunday's one-two in Oschersleben has obviously given us a big boost. My team has worked so hard all season, and we have now deservedly reaped our reward. Despite this, it will be a big challenge to produce another strong performance at the Nürburgring. We have often seen how the balance of power can shift from one weekend to the next in the DTM this season. Despite this, we are looking forward to the two races in the Eifel Mountains."
Ernest Knoors (Team Principal, BMW Team MTEK):
"Our one-two in Oschersleben was a very special success for our team – undoubtedly the biggest in our DTM history. We are obviously looking to carry that momentum into the weekend at the Nürburgring. The circumstances there are obviously completely different. However, with a good performance in qualifying, we should be able to set our sights on the points again in the Eifel Mountains."
Marco Wittmann (car number 1, BMW Team RMG):
"In the meantime, the Eifel region has become something of a second home to me. My team is based very close to the Nürburgring. That made our victory there last year very emotional. We would obviously like to follow on from that success. Our performance was good in Oschersleben, and I hope we can build on that and be up among the front-runners at the Nürburgring."
Maxime Martin (car number 36, BMW Team RMG):
"Meeting the enthusiastic fans at the Nürburgring is always a great experience. The circuit has a long history, which makes it unique. The races are home outings for my team. I am really looking forward to my second start in a DTM car in the Eifel Mountains."
Martin Tomczyk (car number 77, BMW Team Schnitzer):
"I have made it onto the podium a few times at the Nürburgring, and have also won there in the past. That is obviously one of the reasons why the Nürburgring, for me personally, is one of the very best circuits. I hope we will be competitive there. It is hard to judge how we will fare. We will only be able to say that once we are there, and can then set ourselves more definite goals."
António Félix da Costa (car number 13, BMW Team Schnitzer):
"The Nürburgring is one of my very favourite circuits. Last year we were really quick there, so I am confident going into the next two races. Our car will be a bit heavier than last time out in Oschersleben, but hopefully we will be able to make up for that. If we do, we can challenge for points again."
Augusto Farfus (car number 18, BMW Team RBM):
"I think we have a good chance of scoring valuable points at the Nürburgring. I would certainly like to make up some more ground in the Drivers' Championship. And I believe that is certainly possible, as the performance of our car has been very good recently."
Tom Blomqvist (car number 31, BMW Team RBM):
"My first DTM win in Oschersleben has obviously given me an extra boost. Despite this, we must first see how well-suited our overall package is to the Nürburgring this year. With the end of the season so close, there is a lot at stake for BMW in all the competitions. For this reason, we must push even harder to pick up points where possible. I am up for the fight."
Bruno Spengler (car number 7, BMW Team MTEK):
"I really like the circuit and have won there a few times. Despite this, it is difficult to say how we will get on, as we will have more weight in the car. Regardless of this, we will obviously do our best and try to score plenty of points for BMW."
Timo Glock (car number 16, BMW Team MTEK):
"Oschersleben was a fantastic weekend for BMW. Maybe we can carry the momentum from the Motorsport Arena over to the Eifel Mountains. I am looking forward to the race weekend at the Nürburgring, and hope we prove to be somewhere near as successful as we have been recently."

About the DTM.
The German Touring Car Masters – DTM for short – is the most popular touring car series in the world. The series sees the three premium automobile manufacturers BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz go head to head on the racetrack. BMW was first involved in the DTM with a works team between 1984 and 1992, during which time it won 49 races and three Drivers' Championships (1984, 1987 and 1989). The manufacturer returned to the DTM in 2012 with the BMW M3 DTM, three teams and six drivers, winning five races and topping the Drivers', Team and Manufacturers' Championships at the first attempt. In 2013, BMW successfully defended its title in the Manufacturers' Championship with four teams and eight drivers. Last season BMW Motorsport competed with the new BMW M4 DTM for the first time. By the end of the ten-race season, the Bavarian manufacturer had five race wins, 11 podiums, four pole positions and four fastest laps to its name, while Marco Wittmann became the youngest German DTM champion ever. Wittmann's BMW Team RMG was victorious in the Team competition.
Eighteen races spread over nine weekends await the teams and drivers in 2015. For the first time since the 2000 season, each event consists of two races, each with the same points format. The season kicked off on 2nd/3rd May with two races in Hockenheim. This is followed by a further four rounds in Germany – at the Lausitzring, Norisring, Nürburgring and in Oschersleben – before the series returns to Hockenheim for the season finale on 17th/18th October. Zandvoort, Spielberg and Moscow host the three international rounds of the DTM.

It's Stafford showtime!
13th March 2014 Classic Bike Hub UK News
The 34th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show takes place on the weekend of April 26-27 and along with the man himself, both the MV Agusta and Ferrari that took Surtees to two- and four-wheeled world championship glory will be in attendance.
James Robinson, editor of the event's title publication The Classic Motorcycle, said: "What John achieved in both bike and car disciplines is remarkable.
"He is a real master of machinery and it's a great honour that he's chosen to come to Stafford and grace us with his presence.
"It'll be fascinating to hear him talk about his wide ranging experiences; surely he's the only man in the world who was employed by both Enzo Ferrari and Count Agusta, as well as being Mike Hailwood's boss!"
Surtees won't be the only big name new to the show this year though, with former racer and current motorsport TV personality Steve Plater taking the reins from the retiring Dave Craggs as show compere and commentator.
Plater will be on stage regularly throughout the event talking with the guest of honour and presenting awards, and show manager Nick Mowbray said he was delighted to welcome the former British Supersport champion into the fold: "Steve has been at several of our events in recent years and it's fantastic that he is coming on board as compere for Stafford. We're especially looking forward to his interaction with John Surtees; those interviews will be excellent."
It's not just special guests that'll be welcomed either, as rows of stunning display machines showcase the very best that the classic world has to offer.
Top billing will perhaps go to the one and only Moto Major (pic above), an incredible looking, one-off machine built by Italian Salvatore Majorca in 1949 – it's a bike that has never been seen in the UK before.
James Robinson added: "I'm looking forward to getting in among the private entries and display bikes to see what gems are at the show.
"The National Motorcycle Museum is back this year, the Rolls-Royce Motorcycle Club is bringing a 1923 Cotton with a 349cc ohc engine which owner Tony Trueman believes to be the only one in existence and the Bonhams auction always has an incredible selection."
The event will also feature numerous halls packed with traders, manufacturers and autojumbles, and there is live action in the form of the world famous and popular Wall of Death.
Advance tickets for the 34th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show are on sale now from www.classicbikeshows.com, or can be purchased over the phone by calling 01507 529529 – with an advance one day adult ticket costing £10, a £3 saving on the gate price.
The show is open from 9am – 6pm on Saturday and 9am – 5pm on Sunday. Parking is free.

NYCC 2017 Video Interview: Cast Of FOX's Marvel Show 'The Gifted'
By Pfeff-Bot | October 9th, 2017 at 10:00 am
The highly anticipated FOX series The Gifted premiered its first episode last week, and has already received much acclaim for what is being called a solid start to the Marvel show. Set in the same Marvel universe as the X-Men films and loosely connected to FX's Legion, The Gifted "tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers," FOX says. Geeks Of Doom had the chance this weekend to sit down and interview stars Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker, Sean Teale, Jamie Chung, Coby Bell, Emma Dumont, Natalie Alyn Lind, and Percy Hynes White at New York Comic-Con 2017.

'The Gifted' Trailer: FOX Has Their Own 'X-Men' TV Show
By eelyajekiM | @ | May 15th, 2017 at 12:30 pm
First, it was Legion. Now it's The Gifted. Just as Marvel has expanded their little movie universe by taking a step into TV, so has FOX with their X-Men properties. Though these shows then to vary between praises and criticisms, nothing is really going to stop them from being made. So in order to stop from being repetitive, Fox's The Gifted gets a new angle. A family on the run with their father who used to work for the very people who are chasing them.
While it's a premise we've seen before, the added mix of a child with special powers does provide a new Marvel twist. And that may just be the thing to make this show a hit.
Check out the full trailer below.

FOX Gives Full-Series Order To X-Men Show 'The Gifted' From Matt Nix, Bryan Singer
By The Movie God | @ | May 10th, 2017 at 10:00 am
In addition to the recent FX series Legion, which was recently renewed for a second season, FOX has also been developing another X-Men spinoff TV series from Burn Notice and The Comedians creator Matt Nix.
Some of the things we've known about it up to this point include that it would be set in the X-Men universe with mutants, that FOX had ordered a pilot episode set to be directed by longtime X-Men movie director Bryan Singer, and that Jamie Chung would star as Blink.
A handful of months after ordering the pilot, FOX has now given a full series order to the show along with an official title: The Gifted. They've also released a brief teaser, which can be found below along with more details on the story and cast.

The Embassy of the Russian Federation called disinformation statement by the NATO Secretary General on incident in Salisbury
LONDON, June 21. /TASS/. The Russian Embassy in London called irresponsible misinformation statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that Russia allegedly "does not hesitate to use military nerve substances on our streets." This is stated in a statement on Thursday the statement of the Russian diplomatic mission.
"If Mr Stoltenberg has any evidence, he shall immediately present. And while his words are allegations, not backed up by any facts or evidence," – said in a communiqué.
In the Russian Embassy reminded that the investigation of the incident in Salisbury has not been completed, citing the Advisor to the Prime Minister on national security Mark Sedwill, who earlier in may said that the British government does not even suspects in this case. "All this confirms that the British leadership were quick to assign guilty without a trial, making serious accusations a few days after the incident", – stated in the message.
March 4, ex-GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal, sentenced in Russia for espionage in favour of great Britain, and his 33-year-old daughter Julia has been in Salisbury, according to the British side, effects of nerve agents.

Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) in an interview broadcast Sunday argued that President Obama's default strategy for dealing with Iran was surrender.
Obama's tentative pact with Iran, he added, gave Tehran the better half of the bargain.
"That's not good for America, that's not good for Israel and that's not good for our allies around the world," Walker argued.
The Wisconsin governor, who is weighing a 2016 presidential bid, made similar charges during a speech given on Saturday night. He urged Obama to reconsider his framework agreement with Iran over its nuclear arms research during that address.
"We need to tell the president to back off from a bad deal," Walker said at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition summit in Waukee.
Walker argued in Iowa that the problem was Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader. His past actions, Walker charged, made him more foe than friend.
"They have not changed much since then," he said, recalling the Iran hostage crisis that kept 66 Americans in captivity between 1979 and 1981.
The Obama administration announced its draft accord with Iran on April 2. The president hailed it as a "historic" moment in diplomacy during remarks from the Rose Garden made the same day.
Obama has vowed to lift economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for more restrictions on its nuclear energy program.
Tehran, meanwhile, has promised it will allow more frequent atomic energy inspections and caps on its centrifuge and uranium stockpiles as part of the deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly criticized the government as dangerous for his nation. A nuclear Iran, he has argued, directly threatens Israel's existence.
Obama has countered that diplomacy is the best option for keeping atomic bombs out of Iran's hands.
Secretary of State John Kerry led U.S. efforts with Iran at the bargaining table in Lausanne, Switzerland last month. The two sides must reach a final agreement by a June 30 deadline.

Amy Welborn in Living Faith
Amy Welborn is a contributor - five devotions per issue - to the Living Faith daily devotional quarterly.
For example most recently, October 1:
Sitting in our large stone, echo-prone cathedral during Mass, I heard a phone. It wasn't a full-out ring, but that pulsing, vibrating sound of an almost "silenced" phone. It sounded as if it were coming from across the church. I waited, smirking, for the owner to turn it off. It kept going.
September 27:
Today is the feast of the great French servant of the poor, St. Vincent de Paul.
There is no lack of charities serving those in need in the world, but Jesus makes clear here the Christian difference: to not see "the poor" as a group "below" those who serve them from on high. No, we're all one body in Christ, and we're called to understand ourselves as "the least" simply serving each other, brothers and sisters, out of mutual love and responsibility.
June 30:
This is one of the most telling, revealing moments in the gospel—not about Jesus, but about us.
For how many times has Jesus visited me where I live? In the sacraments, in moments of prayer, in the love and presence of other people—he's come to me. He's healed, taught and revealed the way to real happiness and peace. I know this! I know all about it! And I say I believe it.
My son was happy to get his first credit card. He's financially responsible to the point of miserliness, so I wasn't concerned about him misusing it. But after a few months, he observed, reflecting on that magic period that falls between spending on the card and actually paying the bill, "I don't like credit cards. They make me think I have more money than I really do."
His words prompted me to consider in what parts of my own life I might be allowing delusion and pretense to rule.
Before everything shut down last year, I was in New York City to see Hadestown, a musical loosely based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The play is framed, beginning and end, with Hermes singing: "It's an old song, it's a tragedy…but we're gonna sing it again and again."
Sitting with theatergoers, listening to an affirmation of the power of retelling a tale over and over, reminded me of the importance of liturgy, especially Holy Week. What we tell this week is more than a story.
December 29 (written a year ago, before the Covid pandemic)
Another calendar year is drawing to an end. When I look back, what do I see? What emotions do the events of this year's journey around the sun bring? Perhaps the year has been dominated by sadness or discord, and we won't be sorry at all to see it go.
November 24:
Before the LORD, for he comes; for he comes to rule the earth.
Advent approaches, and as we draw near to that season, the Scripture readings are all about the last things: death, judgment and eternity. These can be frightening to contemplate, subjects we might rather avoid. But we can't. Here they are, presented to us in God's Word. And, if we are honest, here they are in the ebb and flow of our lives.
October 29:
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
- Ephesians 6:16
On our last day in South Florida, we headed out to Biscayne National Park, hoping to see the Miami skyline and, if we were lucky, some manatees. We were surprised by a different sight: loads of well-dressed people waiting in line and then gathering under a large tent. We had happened upon a citizenship ceremony. It was quite moving. What struck me was that these people had such intentional pursuit and acceptance of rights and responsibilities with which I'd been born, things that I had hardly ever thought about.
What to do? I called a neighbor and asked him to come help me change the tire. I called a friend and asked her to bring my son to where I was. I wasn't crazy about bothering folks at that time of night, but if I'd been called on the same kind of mission, I wouldn't have minded helping. We're all in this together. We need help, we give help. Paul didn't travel the known world inviting people to solitary relationships with God. He called them into community: into the body of Christ, called by him, there for each other.
Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
What profit has man from all the labor
which he toils at under the sun?
One generation passes and another comes,
but the world forever stays.
- Ecclesiastes 1:2-4
For a week, Copan Ruinas, Honduras, was home. We walked everywhere. And on our daily route, we passed her. Ancient and tiny, neatly dressed, she sat motionless in the doorway of the ice cream shop. If we caught her eye, she would smile slightly and return her gaze to the ground. Hundreds of years ago, kings and priests looked down at their subjects here from the heights of Mayan palaces, sure of their importance, confident in their legacy. Now, children scramble over the crumbling stones.
April 27:
My wallet was old and bulkier than I needed. It was also patterned in a hideous pinkish paisley. But it had been a gift from my son, who, as he proudly told me on that Christmas morning years ago, had picked it out all by himself.
So, not wanting to hurt his feelings, I kept it. I recently mentioned the situation in passing and that same son said, "Well, why don't you just get a new one?"
April 3:
I love you, O LORD, my strength,
O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
- Psalm 18:2-3
My youngest son and I recently headed to the Badlands of South Dakota. I had seen photographs of the layered, varicolored, almost lunar landscape, but the reality of what I encountered surprised me. I had assumed the formations we'd be walking among were solid rock--but they're not! They're sediment. Essentially huge piles of crumbly, dried mud. No wonder I'd not been able to find any rock-climbing activities for my son. You'd tumble right down if you tried. And no wonder this park, unlike any other national park, permits open, off-trail hiking. It's all going to erode anyway, and fairly soon in geological time.
March 12 -
Last year, we spent a couple of weeks in Seville, Spain. Around the corner from our apartment was a church with a forecourt. In the rear of this courtyard stood a statue of St. Jude Thaddeus. Any time I walked past, day or evening, I saw the same sight: a steady stream of people coming in from the street--passing by on the sidewalk bearing briefcases, shopping bags and backpacks, young and old--stopping in to light a candle, offer flowers (there was always a bank of bouquets in front of the statue) and stand for a moment and pray.
For example, today - February 9.
We live, it seems, in a time in which political talk never, ever ends. And about this time in the four-year election cycle in the U.S., it's reaching a peak. Sometimes the intense emotions and judgments that characterize these conversations lead me to wonder if people are looking for a competent government leader or something more profound in a spiritually barren time.
January 31:
Place Uriah up front, where the fighting is fierce. Then pull back and leave him to be struck down dead.
- 2 Samuel 11:15
What a terrible, wretched incident this is: David, the Lord's anointed and King of Israel, has an innocent man killed so he can have his wife to himself.
And how striking it is that God's people didn't hide this horrifying sin. In reading the Hebrew Scriptures, I can't help but be struck by their honesty and, indeed, rawness at times.
In the midst of one of these situations, of course I was moved to pray. First, for a resolution to the situation that involved no loss, either of material goods or my pride. "Please fix it," I asked God. "Thanks." But then a different prayer came to me, a simpler one: "Help me bring good out of this."
January 7:
I would have just driven on by. But my son, always alert to the mysteries that nature holds, had been paying attention, so he was able to see. And so Magi, wise and observant of God's ways in the world, were led by the light to his son.
December 19:
During Advent, in these days leading to Christmas, my days and evenings are marked by familiar rituals of all kinds.
I pray at Mass, of course. And in the Scriptures, prayers and music, I am eased into the journey of waiting and hope. Candles glimmer from my mother's Advent wreath. We hang the wooden "O Antiphon" crafts my sons made years ago. The lights, the recipes, the scents of these days create a place that I know.
Last Thanksgiving, a local restaurant offered a free meal. If you could pay, fine, and any money would go to a shelter. If you were unable to pay, that didn't matter. The doors were open, the table was set, and you were welcome to the feast.
November 5:
I am surrounded by people just trying to do the right thing. Sometimes we make the right decisions, sometimes the wrong ones. We correct our mistakes, try to do better and bear it all patiently, never forgetting our own limitations and our own missed calls.
October 4:
He was called Il Poverello--the little poor one--and we very strongly and rightly associate St. Francis of Assisi with poverty. We love him because in him we see that it is, indeed, possible to live the call of Jesus, to follow in a radical way, with nowhere to rest our head, trusting in God alone on the journey.

2005 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Blanc de Blanc
White | Ready, but will keep | Code: 22286 | 2005 | France > Champagne > Blanc de Blancs | Chardonnay | Medium Bodied, Brut | 12.5 % alcohol
2005 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is finely aromatic, a rich and creamy Blanc de Blancs at its very best. Although the 2005 can be enjoyed from release, a decade of patience will be well rewarded.
When Pierre Taittinger first discovered the Champagne region, he was a young officer during the First World War. He returned several years later to invest his energy into developing a family-owned independent Champagne house in Reims which is still managed by the Taittinger family to this day. Francois Taittinger chose Chardonnay as the dominant grape as he believed that modern tastes would increasingly appreciate the lightness, finesse and elegance of the Chardonnay grape in their flagship offering - Comtes de Champagne - first produced in 1952.
"We will never produce a large quantity of Comtes de Champagne because the technical characteristics we require so that this cuvée can be a very great wine are essentially unique in Champagne and very financially demanding. A triumphant blend of force and elegance, the Comtes de Champagne displays an eternal youth that it derives from the greatest Chardonnay of our province. Connoisseurs will appreciate it."
Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger
The Wine Advocate - The 2005 Comtes de Champagne has a beautifully composed nose that is extremely cool, mineral and precise and attracts with highly elegant and discreet bright and fresh fruit aromas (white apples, lemons, grapefruits) along with chalk and hazelnut flavors and nougat. Full-bodied, lovely, pure and quite complex on the palate, this is a fresh, buoyant and firmly structured Comtesse with a persistent minerality and an impressive clarity and freshness. It is quite reduced at the moment and lacks, perhaps, complexity but there is a touch of sweetness and a good chance for further development.
Stephan Reinhardt - 30/11/2014
Antonio Galloni - If forced to choose a recent Comtes de Champagne for drinking today, I would gravitate towards the 2005. A beautiful wine, the 2005 has some of the openness of the 2002 mixed with a little of the energy of the 2004, but without the sheer personality of either. Instead, the 2005 impresses for its persistence, harmony and sheer drinkability. Best of all, unlike some recent prior vintages, the 2005 is not going to require any cellaring to offer its best drinking. I would cellar the 2002 and 2004, and drink the 2005 for the next decade-plus.
Antonio Galloni, Vinousmedia.com
Lyons - A Champagne that is ideal for laying down, this really does improve with age. From fruit sourced from the finest Grand Cru sites, including Avize and Cramant, it has a biscuity, aromatic nose with a very pure, linear structure. A powerfully flavored wine.
Berry Bros. & Rudd wines featured in The Wall Street Journal by Will Lyons - 21 Nov 2013
Will Lyons writes a weekly column for The Wall Street Journal. His humorous, informed, down-to-earth writing has been recognized in both the Glenfiddich and Roederer wine writing Awards. He began his career in London, as a wine merchant in St. James's where he developed a love for the classic wines of Europe. He has written for a variety of publications including The Scotsman, Reader's Digest, The Spectator and Decanter. He is a past president of the Edinburgh University Wine Society, where in between wine tasting, he read History.
In Champagne, the term Blanc de Blancs designates Champagnes made only from Chardonnay grapes. The vineyards located between Cramant and Mesnil-sur-Oger in Cote de Blancs yield the best examples of the style.
A classic Blanc de Blancs is restrained and elegant when young, yet with ageing it develops a mouth-coating brioche richness that overlays an intense expression of fruitiness. Blanc de Blancs are endowed with longer ageing potential than a typical Blanc de Noirs.

Q: What is the ⎋ key? This tip just popped up in my phpStorm IDE (OS X):

The ⎋ key in any tool window moves the focus to the editor. ⇧⎋ moves
  the focus to the editor and also hides the current (or last active)
  tool window. The F12 key moves the focus from the editor to the last
  focused tool window.

I've never seen that key symbol before and Google returned nothing.
Anybody know the meaning of this mysterious key?

A: ⎋ is another symbol for the Esc key. Like on other keyboards, on a Mac keyboard it's the key left of F1.

Professional appraisal done 2 years ago for $66,000. That is roughly what I paid for it. Asking $52,000.
Scroll through pictures to see list of the build. I am second owner and not the one who built it. A guy in my jeep club and S&W automotive out of Paradise built it and did an amazing job. I have all the receipts (about $25k in upgraded parts alone). It was white, I painted it camouflage with rusty orange accents.
I am selling it because the family and I are turning this Jeep into a mall crawler (I did a couple of runs to Moab & Rubicon) aside from that my family is no longer interested.


For millions of children and adults, Disney's Peter Pan is THE Peter Pan, as well as a defining moment in Disney animation, giving the studio its logo mascot, Tinker Bell. While it's neither the best retelling of J. M. Barrie's nursery tale or nor the best Disney cartoon of the era, Peter Pan is, fortunately, a decent enough example of both.
Directed by Clyde Geronimi. Bobby Driscoll, Kathryn Beaumont, Hans Conried, Bill Thompson, Heather Angel, Paul Collins, Tommy Luske. Walt Disney.
Mild swashbuckling action; exaggerated American Indian stereotypes.
Barrie's whimsical inventions (a St. Bernard for a nursemaid; Peter Pan's separable shadow) and most magical moments (the Jolly Roger taking flight) work well in an animated context.
As MGM did with The Wizard of Oz, this retelling of Peter Pan shifts the story's magic from the real world to the world of a child's imagination. Now it is Wendy, not Mrs. Darling, who sees Peter and catches his shadow, and the children, instead of vanishing for days on end, are now found drowsing in the nursery, as if they dreamed the whole thing.
Real "Pan-atics" won't want to miss the splendid 2000 musical stage version starring Cathy Rigby, and there's also the magical 1924 silent version, the making of which Barrie himself had a hand in. Still and all, Disney's take remains worthwhile on its own terms.


It is Jeyne style is simple and minimalist. There are no large prints or many colors but if clothing brands key as Celine, Chloe, Jenni Kane or Jil Sander combining with chains of mass market such as Zara and Mango clothing.
The popularity of Min in the blogosphere grew as the foam when it occurred to him one day decorate your table of skate with the Moroccan collection spring-summer 2011 Celine stamping. The success was such that Jayne joined forces with Vogue and seven signatures American (Narciso Rodriguez, Thakoon, Rag & Bone, Diane Von Furstenberg, Toru Burch and Alexander Wang) that designed seven tables of skate with the signature prints.
The his style keys are oversize items (coats, t-shirts, dresses…) combining with boots, platform shoes and sneakers. Looks that we tend not to see normally for these parts and sections of the current trends. That said, a blogger out of the ordinary.

Islamic Studies Grade 1 (paperback)
Maulvi Abdul Aziz
Islamic Studies Grade 1
SL:04CL3
Given the dire need for Islamic studies material in schools incorporating the subject in English,. Darussalam has endeavoured to publish an Islamic Studies series covering all the grades, from grade one through grade twelve. This series covers all areas of Islamic studies: tafseer, hadeeth, tawheed, fiqh, seerah, and general etiquette relating to different areas and situations. Given the importance of authentic Islamic knowledge, every effort has been made to ensure that the material presented in the series is authentic. Also, given the importance of Arabic Islamic terms, most of the terms are presented in their original Arabic script, along with the transliteration and the translation of their meanings. This also applies to supplications which have to be memorized in their Arabic version. The aim here is to help the reader read the original text and understand its meaning. Each lesson is followed by exercises covering questions about the lesson. One striking feature in the series is the colourful artwork used in it will certainly appeal to children. This is certainly bound to attract the young readers' attention, stimulate them, amuse them as well as educate them. This series aims to acquaint the student with the teachings of Islam in every aspect: beliefs, practices and moral conduct. This series, with its unique features, certainly fills a gap in this area which has long been partially neglected. The present breathtaking work was initiated by an expert in the field of education, Maulvi Abdul Aziz, MA.

A look at the Paintings of Van Gogh, the World's Most Famous Painter
Cuadros Online Apr 01, 2021
Van Gogh's Paintings tell the story of the artist
Vincent van Gogh is perhaps the most famous artist in the world.
His pen and creative genius have inspired many, despite being perceived in history as the 'mad' artist, the man who painted with frenzy or simply the soul who, in a sharp moment of suffering, cut off his own ear. .
His artistic genius has often been overshadowed by the visual manifestations of his troubled mind. But while in part his mental health undeniably influenced his art, in reality his artistic and innovative style was of enormous importance to a large number of artists who followed him.
Even when he was openly influenced by his predecessors or contemporaries, his art remained his alone, developing a distinctive style in his paintings that was unfortunately not accepted by the contemporary public of his time.
Van Gogh's Paintings of the Early Years
Although the artist's first formal job after leaving school was also related to art, he did not begin painting seriously until many years later.
At the age of 16, Vincent van Gogh became an apprentice in his uncle's art dealership in Paris.
Working with his relative would expose him to the artistic medium, but he would first devote himself to religious work, and even, for a brief period, also worked as a bookseller before creating his first painting.
His early works, completed between 1881 and 1883, reflect a novice's attention to detail, but they also contained the first hints of a rising genius, which would fully emerge in his later paintings.
Although his sketches and watercolors may, at first glance, seem two-dimensional and amateurish, his early studies of realism are already beginning to be fascinating in this period.
"What is done with love, is done well."
Van Gogh's first drawings
Vincent van Gogh created his first drawings while staying at his parents' home in Etten, the Netherlands, where he was educated primarily in anatomy, perspective, and artistic technique. The artist restricted his early sketches to a black and white palette, believing that mastery of this discipline was essential before attempting any color work.
His early drawings depict various peasants in static poses, some in profile, while his major landscapes are largely perspective studies. In his early pen and watercolor drawings, Vincent incorporated shadows and highlights rather than colors to create dimension. Drawing on strong influences from masters such as Millet, Rembrandt, and Daumier, the artist's focus on the human figure was central to his nascent artistic development.
In mid-1881, Vincent van Gogh engaged in a brief period of study with Anton Mauve, a teacher at the Hague School of Art.
Mauve not only covered his basic knowledge needs, but also introduced his student to watercolors and oils, thereby broadening the artist's field of expression.
The painting Still Life with Cabbage and Clogs , one of his earliest works, uses the somber earth tones that characterize his early Dutch-style works. It also features a rich splash of color, a harbinger of the brilliant painting style to come.
View of the Sea at Scheveningen, one of Vincent van Gogh's first forays into landscape (a genre that would sustain his interest throughout his career), was completed in August 1882. The painting depicts an active gaze of the beach near Hague.
The realism of the scene in this painting is evident even on the canvas itself, with grains of sand from the storm still embedded in the oil paintings to this day.
The work exhibits elements of the Impressionist school of art with its indistinct but moving figures in the foreground. The painting is completed with broken brushstrokes that indicate turbulent waves, being demarcated above by dark shapes, suggestive of storm clouds.
Van Gogh paintings in The Hague period
Vincent van Gogh's residence in The Hague during 1882 and 1883 proved to be a productive period in which he continued to refine his technique and explore similar but new subjects. During this time Van Gogh received his first commissions for cityscape drawings in The Hague from another uncle who was also an art dealer.
The landscape painting of Fields of Bulbs testifies to the artist's awakening to the expressive use of light and color so prominent in his later work. In the foreground of the painting, hyacinths in shades of white, blue, pink and gold fill the beds of a beautiful garden, leading the gaze towards a distant hillside and a sky full of white clouds. Shaded, thatched-roof houses frame the scene as a gardener walks between boxes in the distance.
Van Gogh's paintings in the intervening years: 1884-1887
During this era, a failed love affair, the death of his father, and a brief period of study at the Antwerp Academy, formed a somber backdrop for the artist's continued development.
During a stay in the northern town of Nuenen in late 1883 to 1885, the painter focused on agrarian scenes of peasants working the land as well as weavers plying their trade.
In 1885, the artist produced Los Campesinos Comiendo Patatas (The Potato Eaters), a work that many consider his first masterpiece.
In this depiction of a peasant family sitting around their humble table, Vincent van Gogh invokes the influence of Rembrandt by virtue of a somber setting that is nonetheless full of character and life. A plate full of potatoes illustrates the simple wealth of those who make a living from the land. The friendly atmosphere, illuminated by the warm glow of a lamp, inspires the viewer to long to participate in this intimate scene.
Van Gogh paintings in Paris
In 1886, Vincent van Gogh attended art classes at the Antwerp Academy, but stayed for only part of the year. After moving in with his brother, Theo, in Paris, Vincent studied with the artist Cormon and came into contact with fellow students Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, John Russell, and Emile Bernard.
Theo, an art dealer, introduced his brother to the works of prominent Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Georges Seurat, all of whom had a strong influence on the artist's future paintings.
Vincent was able to meet and befriend the artist Paul Gauguin during this same period, and Gauguin's brightly colored paintings also exerted a strong influence on the Dutchman's prodigious art.
In 1887, Vincent van Gogh experimented with the pointillist technique of George Seurat, who used it in such works as A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte .
In one of his many self-portraits, Self-Portrait with a Gray Felt Hat , Vincent uses small dots of color that reflect light to reveal a sharp-featured man with the world-weary expression of someone who seems to have seen more than he can. endure.
It was during this time in his life that the artist became interested in Ukiyo-e , a genre of prints made using a woodcut or woodcut technique, produced in Japan between the 17th and 20th centuries, including landscape images, of the theater and alternate areas.
He and other contemporaries such as Claude Monet and Edgar Degas began to collect them, being works that would inspire paintings that reflect the influence of the Japonaiserie in his technique and artistic vision.
An original work by artist Keisai Eisen, Van Gogh's replica of The Courtesan features an infusion of brilliant color that far outshines the original. He chose a background of a lily pond instead of Eisen's cherry blossoms.
Van Gogh's Paintings in the Later Period
Vincent van Gogh moved from Theo's house in Paris to Arles, in the south of France, in 1888, where he rented his famous Yellow House.
In the spring, the artist painted the flourishing landscapes of Provence, as well as seascapes in nearby Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer. During this productive period in his life, the artist also made a number of portraits, including his series of paintings portraying the Roulin family .
While preparing a room in his Yellow House to accommodate Gauguin, who was planning to visit Arles for an extended stay later in the year, Vincent van Gogh was also working on his second series of Sunflowers paintings .
He had created the first series while he was with his brother in Paris. The artist's paintings of sunflowers featured various backgrounds and arrangements of the large golden flowers, each similar but distinct. Art connoisseurs especially appreciate these works for their groundbreaking expansion of the yellow color spectrum. Others appreciate the paintings for their unique combination of simplicity and richly evocative detail.
Although Gauguin's visit was highly anticipated by Vincent van Gogh, his arrival at The Yellow House in October 1888 did not end as planned.
At first, both artists enjoyed a prolific period in their careers together, but disagreements and arguments marred the productive tone of the fledgling company. Tensions between the two culminated in late December when Vincent allegedly attacked his colleague with a razor blade and ended up cutting off part of his own ear.
The syphilis disease was beginning to reveal itself: he began to hallucinate and would suffer attacks in which he frequently lost consciousness.
Still, Van Gogh later claimed not to remember anything about the fateful event with the razor.
After losing his ear, Vincent van Gogh spent the next few days in the Arles hospital. It is generally assumed that Vincent Van Gogh had syphilis because approximately 10% of all European men carried the disease in the late 19th century. Van Gogh is believed to have been infected with syphilis as he frequented brothels and exhibited erratic behavior. According to some historians, around this time Van Gogh had terrible mouth sores and lost a lot of weight because he couldn't eat.
Unlike gonorrhea, which he also suffered from, syphilis caused him insanity in its last stage, called neurosyphilis. Perhaps one of the decisive factors in his suicide was that the artist feared developing the final symptoms of the disease.
Although struggling with rapid mental decline, Van Gogh produced a series of stylistically diverse paintings depicting the hospital itself and the olive and cypress trees on the grounds surrounding the institution.
Vincent van Gogh painted his brilliant 1889 work, Irises, in the garden of Saint-Remy during his stay in that place of seclusion.
The painting, which exhibits some characteristics of Japanese woodblock prints, as well as the artist's penchant for color and light, was part of the annual Societe des Artistes Independiente exhibition in Paris, thanks to Theo's intervention, along with La Starry Night over the Rhône .
Van Gogh, a prolific artist
Between November 1881 and July 1890, Vincent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings, a very prolific production for any time.
Since his death, Van Gogh has become one of the most famous painters in the world. His paintings have captured the minds and converted the hearts of millions of art lovers.
"There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it: how to do it - with a lot of drawing and little color; how not to do it, with a lot of color and little drawing ".
Van Gogh firmly believed that to be a great painter one had to master drawing before adding colour. Over the years, the artist clearly mastered drawing and began to use more color. Over time, one of the most recognizable aspects of Van Gogh's paintings became his bold use of color. This characteristic is evident both in the landscapes and in his still lifes.
About a year before his death, Van Gogh predicted that there would be a great "painter of the future" who would know how to use color like no other and would become the future of painting. He expressed this in a letter to his brother Theo in May 1888,
"As for me, I will continue to work, and here and there some of my work will prove to be of lasting value, but who can achieve in figure painting what Claude Monet has achieved in landscape? Yet you must feel, as I do, that someone like this is on the way, Rodin? - doesn't use color - it won't be him. But the painter of the future will be a colorist such as has never been seen before."
During his lifetime, Van Gogh was never famous as a painter and struggled to make a living as an artist.
Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime, The Red Vineyard . This painting was sold in Brussels for 400 francs just a few months before his death.
About a week after his passing, Van Gogh's brother Theo wrote to his sister Elizabeth about Van Gogh's legacy as a great artist:
"In the last letter he wrote to me and which dates from about four days before his death, he says:" I try to do as well as certain painters whom I have loved and admired very much ". People should realize that he was a great artist, something that often coincides with being a great human being. In the course of time this will surely be recognized, and his early death will be mourned by many."
Van Gogh's hope that his work could continue to inspire the world after his death has come true: to this day, his extraordinary, unparalleled art reaches millions of admirers in every corner of the globe.

Criminology (BA HONS) M900
BA | Undergraduate
Criminology focuses on the causes and consequences of crime, as well as how the criminal justice system responds to crime. Criminologists are interested in how activities come to be defined as criminal, and why definitions of crime vary across countries and over time. The subject includes a wide range of social and psychological theories that attempt to explain criminal behaviour and the effective operation of the criminal justice system.
Criminology Degree highlights
Criminology at Queen's provides a unique context to study crime and justice in a society emerging from conflict.
There is also the opportunity to study or work abroad, supported by schemes such as Erasmus and Study USA.
Students can spend time studying in one of our linked Universities in Europe.
Criminology is taught by a group of internationally-recognised criminological researchers who specialise in areas such as criminal justice policy, prisons, desistance from crime, offender reintegration, drug use, youth justice, conflict and human rights.
"While studying Criminology at Queen's I had the opportunity to complete a work placement conducting my own project on youth crime. This, coupled with the encouraging environment and support means I would strongly recommend studying Criminology at Queen's."

hours of lectures
22–24 hours studying and revising in your own time each week, including some guided study using handouts, online activities, etc
At Queen's, we aim to deliver a high quality learning environment that embeds intellectual curiosity, innovation and best practice in learning, teaching and student support to enable students to achieve their full academic potential.
On the BA (Hons.) in Criminology we do this by providing a range of learning experiences which enable our students to engage with subject experts, develop attributes and perspectives that will equip them for life and work in a global society and make use of innovative technologies and a world class library that enhances their development as independent, lifelong learners.
Criminology students at Queen's are taught in a dynamic academic environment by an award-winning teaching staff, in a School which was rated as one of the leading departments in the United Kingdom.
Examples of the opportunities provided for learning on this course are:
Information associated with lectures and assignments is often communicated via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Queen's Online. A range of e-learning experiences are also embedded in the degree programme through the use of, for example, online discussion forums; interactive media workshops in a flexible learning space; statistics and data analysis modules; podcasts and interactive web-based learning activities; opportunities to use IT programmes associated with project- based work etc.
Field Trips/Study Tours
Study visits and field trips are integrated into a number of core Criminology modules. The purpose of these is to examine how buildings and the urban space around us is shaped by crime and our attempts to reduce it. These present opportunities to apply theoretical ideas and concepts within real world settings. Back in the classroom students present and discuss observations and ideas developed during the field trip.
We work with criminal justice agencies and people from these agencies regularly lecture on the course. As well as studying the academic and theoretical aspects of criminology, students have opportunities to hear from senior practitioners within the Police, Courts, Prisons and/or Probation Services.
We offer a peer mentoring scheme for our BA students, which sees specially- trained second and third year students, under the guidance of staff and the Centre for Educational Development, help first year students settle into life at Queen's through social events, small group or one-to-one informal support and learning skills workshops.
Undergraduates are allocated a Personal Tutor from their first day at the University. The Personal Tutor is available to them to give advice and support throughout their time at Queen's. The Personal Tutor will meet with them on several occasions during the year to support their academic development.
In research method modules you will have opportunities to develop research design and technical skills and apply theoretical principles to real-life research contexts.
The highest achieving students in the school are awarded the annual Lockheed Prize. We also support our students entering essays to the annual Undergraduate Awards.
A significant amount of teaching is carried out in small groups (typically 10-20 students). These provide an opportunity for students to engage with academic staff who have specialist knowledge of the topic, to ask questions of them and to assess their own progress and understanding with the support of peers. You should also expect to make presentations and other contributions to these groups.
In final year, you will be expected to carry out a significant piece of research on a topic that you have chosen. You will receive support from a supervisor who will guide you in terms of how to carry out your research and will provide feedback to you on a one-to-one basis and via email throughout the two semesters
The way in which students are assessed will vary according to the learning objectives of each module. Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments. Others are assessed through a combination of coursework and end of semester examinations. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in the Student Handbook which is provided to all students during their first year induction. Following each element of assessed coursework, students are provided with detailed feedback on the quality of their written work and how they can improve future assignments.
As you progress through your course you will receive general and specific feedback about your work from a variety of sources including lecturers, module co-ordinators, personal tutors, advisers of study and your peers. As a university student, you will be expected to take a greater role in reflecting on this and taking the initiative in continuously improving the quality of your work. Feedback may be provided in a variety of forms including:
Feedback and outcomes from practical classes.
The School is located within a recently renovated building, with state of the art teaching and learning facilities, together with dedicated student space including a large student common room. The teaching facilities enable an interactive learning environment.

A minimum of a 2:2 Honours Degree
Demand for places differs from course to course and for this degree, past performance at GCSE is taken into account when deciding whether or not to make conditional offers. For entry last year, we started making offers to applicants offering A-Level/BTEC Level 3 qualifications, who have achieved 6 grade B/6 (or averaged to 6 grade B/6) at GCSE. This threshold may be lowered as the cycle progresses depending upon the number and quality of applications. The final threshold is not usually determined until late in the admissions cycle, so there may be a delay in processing applicants who do not meet the initial threshold. GCSE English Language grade C is also required
Applicants offering two A-levels and one BTEC Subsidiary Diploma/National Extended Certificate (or equivalent qualification), or one A-level and a BTEC Diploma/National Diploma (or equivalent qualification) will also be considered. Offers will be made in terms of performance in individual BTEC units rather than the overall BTEC grade(s) awarded. Please note that a maximum of one BTEC Subsidiary Diploma/National Extended Certificate (or equivalent) will be counted as part of an applicant's portfolio of qualifications. The normal GCSE profile will be expected.
For applicants offering a HNC, the current requirements are successful completion of the HNC with 2 Distinctions and remainder Merits.
For those offering a HND, to be eligible for an offer, a minimum of 4 Merits and remainder of units at pass grade is necessary in the year 1 performance. Applicants must successfully complete the HND with 2 Distinctions and remainder Merits in all units assessed in the final year. Any consideration would be for stage 1 entry only.
For those offering an HNC or HND , some flexibility may be allowed in terms of GCSE profile.
For applicants offering the Irish Leaving Certificate, please note that performance at Junior Certificate is taken into account and at the end of last year's application cycle, the Junior Cert profile was a minimum of 6 B grades.
A-level General Studies and A-level Critical Thinking would not normally be considered as part of a three A-level offer and, although they may be excluded where an applicant is taking 4 A-level subjects, the grade achieved could be taken into account if necessary in August/September.
