Wow: the Dales. How lucky I am to live and work here.
The moors and valleys have a timelessness, a hugeness, a reassuring solidity. Time spent walking here seems to rebalance and rejuvenate; it is the only place I know where I can be simultaneously soothed and uplifted.
I seek the essence of each location, choosing light and shadow to pin down the feeling of being there. Although the result is a static painting, I work hard to offer movement in a scene. Hard and soft edges of colour suggest that the wind is blowing, the clouds and shadows are about to move, and the view holds our gaze as we wait for the scene to entertain us.
In this crazy, busy, complicated, often exhausting world, the Dales and the Moors are a place to be, a place to look, a place to breathe. I hope to share a taste of this, available to view in a painting on a wall.
It is going to take a few years, but the journey is what it is all about. I hope to intrigue you as I attempt to explore and respond to ALL the named Dales in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A little challenging both for my walking boots and my soft pastels, but I think it's going to be eye-opening.
The YDNP rangers tell me that there are 45 named dales...or maybe 49....other lists tell me 54! Most are tributaries to the main 'BIG 5', Wensleydale, Swaledale, Airedale, Wharfedale and Nidderdale. Just like these 5, each has its unique character, some are startlingly different. Those most recently explored are on my Originals page; you can also follow my Blog - or email me at luci@luciasmith.co.uk with the words 'JOIN THE QUEST' to receive the newest blogs by email!
Welcome to my original work. You will notice that some of the above are already marked SOLD; and only a few are still available. I am currently working hard on a new collection for Chantry House Gallery in Ripley, to be shown there during summer 2019. So although the above is sparse, my stock room is getting full! For a peek at the new images, have a look on the Exhibitions page.
My long-term quest (which got underway in 2018, and might take a while!) is to look at ALL the Dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Most titles therefore include the name of a particular Dale - do contact me if you have any queries or would like map references. See my About page or follow my Blog for more information.
If you would like to view any of the originals shown here, or would like to discuss measurements, framing and prices, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to hear from you.
My originals are generally priced between £700 - £1200, mainly depending on size.
If you have a particular scene in mind, you might consider a personal commission: more information can be found under Commissions.
Some of these images are also available in limited edition Prints.
My print series are very limited – 32, 16 or sometimes just 12. They are available on quality fine art paper (framed behind glass to your taste); or on box canvas for a more contemporary look. They are mostly printed to order, so you can request a unique size and type of presentation. Some series are almost sold out so please check for availability.
Each print is hand-signed and comes with a personal message from me about the scene, my inspiration and the circumstances of the original painting.
Print prices mainly depend on size, with unframed prints typically priced between £190 - £250 and framed prints between £290 - £350.
If you have any queries at all, please feel free to contact me.
I often draw my inspiration from the lofty Yorkshire Moors and the stunning Yorkshire skies - usually on a ramble with family and friends. They have learnt to be patient when I suddenly see something that I need to capture, either with my sketch pad or the camera!
Soft pastels are my key medium; I savour their vibrancy and immediacy. I start by carefully planning my composition, pinning down my vision, rythmn and colour pallette for the painting. I choose quality mount board or heavy watercolour paper, and once the composition has been sketched to size, I cover the entire surface with an under-painting coat of acrylic or watercolour, which broadly defines the painting and gets rid of the distracting whiteness! This is then primed to improve the grip and grit of the surface.
I build up the soft pastel in layers – with some blending, some crisp edges, some textured areas, some areas heavy with pure pastel vibrancy. This gritty surface is not kind on my fingers, so the process has an oscillating rhythm and cannot be rushed! I am therefore not prolific... but this allows me more time to go walking... a superb balance of inspiration and creation.
places to see my work in 2019..
from MARCH onwards: Exciting new weekend Solar Gallery at Ilkley Manor House.
Open every Saturday and Sunday March - May.
More information about opening times coming soon.
My own home studio will not be open for the Art Trail this year, but I will have work on display at Ilkley Town Hall.
My newest original work will be at CHANTRY HOUSE GALLERY, Ripley this summer.
If you would like to view any of my work please contact me to arrange a viewing at my home, your home, or at my Ilkley framers, WEAVERBIRD WORKSHOP.
They also have a wide stock of prints available from my 'very limited' print range.
I am happy to work with you!
A PRIVATE COMMISSION gives you a very special picture, which is totally personal and unique.
Whatever your requirements, I would enjoy discussing the possibilities with you. You may be unsure of the starting point - I would be delighted to mull over your thoughts with you and help define the project.
A recent private commission gave me the chance to explore an area I was less familiar with: the moors around Grimwith Reservoir (see right). Here I was given free rein with colour and shape, but the client asked for certain shorelines to be visible, and for the piece to convey a certain mood.


These days, seeking to boost your website search engine ranking can be a long and frustrating nightmare. Being a search engine optimisation specialist and having established my own business, many clients appear to be unclear about the long process of how to develop website presence in search engines like google. Having built my own, personal site on your own and having struggled to get the desired ranks, one thing is for sure, it does take time.
Many manage to feel that internet marketing in arcadia can get you the preferred ranks in no time. Which is quiet wrong. Whilst there is a lot of talk about link-building, many manage to forget the basics of website optimisation (content, coding and tags). Search engines like google like Yahoo! place strong focus on these basics whilst Google may favor factors outside our control like link popularity. So, just how should we satisfy all search engines like google?
Select targeted keywords which do not have a significant number or competing pages so that you have more opportunity to win position to them.
Directory submissions really are a main factor. Some may charge a cost for inclusion whilst others may not. It is strongly suggested that directory submissions are made mainly because a human editor will review your site, which offers you more points with the search engines.
Probably the most difficult points to fulfill is link-building. In case you have a website that offers useful information and services, soon enough it is going to generate the required links. There are many methods to speed the process including writing articles and posting them on certain websites. However, the key aspect to link building is not really to get irrelevant links. This can simply be regarded as spamming and could result in negative consequences. To recap, provided you stick to the basic steps and also have the patience, your web site will ascend the ranks steadily. Link building can help boost your ranks but be cautious because additionally, it may harm your visibility if used dlpvka a bad way i.e. obtaining way too many links from non-related websites.

First trams came to Novogireyevo district in 1952; the revenue service was begun on December 5th, that day being a national holiday - The Constitution Day. The tramline was extended to Novogireyevo from its previous terminus in Perovo, and the new terminus was constructed beside a railway station with the same name - Novogireyevo. But the history of tram construction in this district was not over yet. As the district grew up, a new tramline (along Zeleniy Prospekt to Molostovykh Street) construction was started in spring of 1965, and this line was put into service on July 13th, 1966. Unfortunately, this line was born under an unlucky star (or, perhaps, it was not a wise decision to open it in such unlucky-13 date). Ten years and 1 month later, on August 11th, 1976, this line was closed down because of the Metro station construction. There were no objections to restore the tramline after the Metro construction was over, but alas! In 1970's trams were considered "unperspective" and "outdated" (so well-known point of view even today), and this tramline was never restored.
Now we have the same situation as it was back in 1952: the Novogireyevo district is served by a single tramline. Of course, now there are the Metro stations, as well as a vast network of trolleybus and bus routes, but even now trams carry great numbers of passengers. The line is served by three tramway routes (24, 34 and 37).
The square beside Novogireyevo Metro station. Long ago there was a junction with the ill-fated line to Molostovykh Street, but now no trace of turnouts is left here.
Tram tracks along the 3rd Prospekt. Indeed, this is not a wide highway as the word 'prospekt' means in Moscow usually; just a nice green lane with a tramline.
The line ends at the terminus named Novogireyevo, not far froma railway station of the same name. Some track maintenance works are going on, but tram service is not suspended.
Another view of the terminus. Note that it has two tracks for departing trams, as well as two tracks for coming ones (not seen here, but they are to the left).


It is crucial to keep in mind that the underwater world is very beautiful, and you have always wanted to see it with your own eyes. It is good to keep in mind that a lot of people old and young are doing scuba diving and it is becoming popular on a daily basis. You need to understand that this sport is dangerous and you must have a permit and appropriate training to enable you to explore the deep waters. It is essential to note that you must complete the course and then get a certificate if you want to become a qualified scuba diver.
It could be that you don't want to attend the training because you think that you will be all alone. You ought to note that scuba divers are very friendly people and that is why you should not fear to go for the lessons. It is important to keep in mind that during the training, you will get to mingle with different types of people and you will get to know about their cultures also.
Be advised that having the scuba diving certification NJ offers is a must because of safety reasons. Be advised that you will be taught about this sport in a better way as you start learning about it. There is a lot to learn and it is up to you to choose what you want. In the training sessions, you will know how to operate the equipment, how to read the pressure, how to read hand signals among others. Be advised that you will have to do a lot of reading and then do a test before being given the permit. It is important to note that the training is normally done in a swimming pool before you are allowed to test the deep waters. It is essential to note that your teacher will test you fo find out what you can do in case of an emergency.
It is important to note that the lessons go on for five days and you will also learn how to observe safety while in the company of other divers. It is very essential that you think about the other diver's safety and you will be taught all that because a lot of things occur in the deep waters. The best thing is that you get to scrutinize each other's diving gear before you get into the water.

Portal for OSX now FREE! (until May 24th)
TOPIC: Portal for OSX now FREE! (until May 24th)
Re:Portal for OSX now FREE! (until May 24th) 12 years, 8 months ago #989
I've never understood the Half Life craze. They were ok. Just generic FPS's. Am I missing something?
that depends, i guess.
i'm curious, if hl is generic, what's a good/special fps then?
personally i thought in hl1 it was genius to tell the story without shoving walls of text down your throat or halt gameplay only to show you some cutscene.
they were still there, but you could decide if you'd stay with the character you tells you or does something or go on/kill him. it felt so much more natural.
hl2 for me was the perfect example of not overusing gameplay elements and "training" a player. when you are about to exit the trainstation, a guard comes up, throws a can on the floor, tells you to pick it up and throw it in the trash.
that's basically how they show you the physics system. from there you are free to play around with it and discover for yourself.
well, if you really want to i could go on forever about this game...
HelixNRG
I'm kinda interested in buying Half Life for Mac with Steam (even after admitting I think playing games on the Mac is over - see comments here: emulation.macscene.net/component/content/article/186.html) but I read the system requirements - requires internet connection.
I'm going to be holidaying throughout Europe from August to December with a brand spanking new MacBook Pro 15", but I don't want to have to rely on always having an internet connection just to play a single player FPS. Do you ALWAYS need to be connected to the net just to play Steam games? That seems a bit silly.
Also, fired up Steam today and it downloaded an update for Portal - without asking me whether I wanted to download however large the file size was, or telling me what the update actually did. Not a fan of that either.
Can anyone clarify these issues?
- Alex
Yeah, that's normal for Steam unfortunately. The PC users have been putting up with that forever.
That's a bit crap then.
I was just wanting to play a 'new' first person shooter between those times sightseeing (a holiday from the holiday if you like). I think then my comments hold true regarding my comments left on emulation.macscene.net/component/content/article/186.html.
I'd be better off installing Windows (7, I guess) and finding a boxed version of Half Life 2. Or Bioshock.
It also irritates me regarding Steam - it seems completely unintuitive to me due to those issues. I don't need to be online after I've bought music or apps on the ITunes Store. Wish Valve would spend time on making things a bit easier rather than making smug promotions about how they've brough Steam to the Mac...when it's kind of stupid.
Bit cross, sorry all
The automatic updates thing annoyed me too, but they're quick and painless, so I don't notice them very often.
There is also an offline mode (found in the "account" menu). I haven't used it, but you might be able to play your games that way -- just signing in for updates when you get a chance (unless offline mode doesn't work like that).
This is exactly the kind of thing that will slow the long-term uptake of Steam on Mac -- we don't put up with as much usability crap as PC users.
Offline mode works perfectly fine. I've just tried to start HL2 without an internet connection, no problem.
But of course you would need one to download and install the game from steam.
And with the PC version, when it came out the installed HL2 files were encrypted and you would have to go online for decryption. I guess they wanted to keep release dates, so that even if you had bought and installed the game, it won't work until they flipped the switch.
Don't know if it was still unplayable without internet connection and decrypted gamefiles, but 2 years ago offline mode worked fine already.
btw: a boxed copy wouldn't change anything, because the game still requires steam to run. it's the same as the steam download, only an older version (that gets patched of course) and you have a disc.
edit: i don't get why people bitch about the usability of steam? only because it looks different from every other mac app?
and thank god for auto-patching. i don't have to think about keeping up with updates, getting the correct version and installing it.
edit 2: if you get the boxed copy, you can still play it on the mac once you registered the key with you steam account, so in the end it comes down to how much you wanna spend and if you need a cd.

BioShock was pretty awesome.
Condemned was way different than anything I had played before.

Last Edit: 12 years, 8 months ago by menace690.
don't mean to be a smartass, but uncharted isn't a FPS, more like a 3rd person action-adventure
i've only played part 1, didn't like it too much. the gameplay was ok, but i hated the characters.
it's interesting that you'd pick bioshock and deus ex, i've always thought of them more of rpg's with a first person perspective, not particularly a "shooter". same with system shock.
and we have to thank warren spector for all of them. thanks.
Re:Portal for OSX now FREE! (until May 24th) 12 years, 8 months ago #1003
Well there you have it then -- he prefers FPS-hybrids over "pure" FPS games (or should I say Doom-clones?)
The characters are a huge part of the draw of the Uncharted games, so if you don't like them you should probably skip the second one -- although it is a big improvement on the original.
Thanks Mungo for clarifying things. I might well give HL2 a go given it can work offline, especially while it's on sale (when does the sale end?).
I love the idea that a 2010 MacBook Pro running OS X should play a FPS from 2004 well regarding frames per second and loading times, despite the OS X's graphics drivers being less optimised than Windows
But Valve should be more specific with their system requirements. Obviously, I'm going to need a certain amount of RAM, graphics horsepower and storage space, but 'Internet Connection' implies being continuously online to play, just as i continously need that specific amount of memory, graphics card, drive space, etc. They should list it as 'Internet Connection (to download and install game initially) or words to that effect.
I was thinking about getting the Orange Box. Even though I already have Portal, even with the Half Life 2 sale and the episodes, for the price of HL2&EP1/2, you basically get Team Fortress 2 and Portal for free. And Team Fortress is coming to the Mac eventually, so might as well. I just don't have the money yet.

Hi, I have just bought a 3 metre rubber duck with 5 horse power Honda on the back for my two boys Xmas present this year. I am desperate to find a suitable name for their boat and need your help. They both love the water and are good swimmers and enjoy playing water polo.
I would definitely suggest a Christmas theme to the boat name. I mean, how often are boats given as Christmas gifts? I believe this is quite unique, but I could be mistaken. Here's what I sent him... Click "comments" below if you've got better boat name ideas for the lads.
By the way, thanks to the 99th Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade.


Here is also the fifth book in the New Earth Miniseries. This book turns down a totally new track, but so believable. To detail this further our main character, our extraterrestrial intelligence agent, has developed new abilities, having returned from the Pleiades to Earth. He can do now what he could only once dream of doing. However, the funny thing is, he says all dream of being able to do these things, and all can. Mostly, we just do not know it.
He has developed telepathic abilities, telekinesis and extraordinary wisdom. He starts a personal following, to not only make his corporations big, but his name and self as well. The media love him. He is right out there now. They do not know his background, or where he is from. He is just fantastically successful and wise.
This does draw out the enemy he seeks. Quickly, there are assassination plots to kill him. Some almost succeed. Where does he come from? People are now asking. What are his corporations that are sprawling all over the planet, in a matter of a decade? Does he need to be cut down? Are those who run this planet, losing control? It is the late 1990s, and time is moving on.

LifestyleHolidayBlack Friday
Black Friday may not be dying, but it is changing
By: Jason Gruenauer
DENVER, Coloradio — Times are changing for the biggest shopping day of the year, and it's not just store opening times. So KMGH television station in Denver decided to look into the changing face of the "holiday" after the holiday.
Traditional Black Friday is still going on
All you have to do is look online or in stores to find signs and ads for the multitude of doorbuster deals.
In fact, more and more people have shopped on Black Friday over the last five years, and people are expected to spend about 4 percent more this year on holiday shopping, according to the National Retail Federation.
"It is fun to just be in line and literally run through the store and literally grab that one item," shopper Katie Hilton said.
It's a tradition for some, a hunt for mega-deals for others, and both for some die-hard shoppers.
"The thrill of the chase, it's fun. If there's something you want and a great deal and you grab it or your daughter does, it's fun," she said.
Dwindling lines?
But over the last few years, the scenes of massive crowds, lines winding blocks long, and people fighting over treasured deals seem to happen less and less.
This year there will be fewer big box stores in existence on Black Friday. Toys-R-Us, Radio Shack, Sears have all gone out of business.
KMGH asked University of Denver Associate Professor of Marketing Ali Besharat if fewer stores like the ones above could lead to shorter lines.
"I hope so and I hope that transition happens over time," he said.
Time with family vs. time in line
Besharat is referring to how much time people spend waiting to get deals at a brick and mortar store, in many cases on the actual Thanksgiving holiday.
Over the last few years, competing stores have moved opening times earlier and earlier. In 2018, many like Best Buy and Target opened at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving. JCPenny opened at 2 p.m.
KMGH's Jason Gruenauer spoke with his personal Black Friday expert, his mom, to weigh in on this part of the debate.
"Black Friday is not Black Friday anymore. It's turned into Black Thursday. And you have to go shopping on a holiday and that's terrible," Cheryl Gruenauer said.
Early deals water it down
The demand for Black Friday sales has pushed some stores to offer deals early, meaning fewer people have to wait in line for Thursday or Friday to come.
Last year, Cabelas savings could be found two weeks ahead of time. And you didn't have to wait if you wanted a TV at Costco.
"I don't want to deal with the crowds or get up at 2 a.m.," one shopper told us.
Big box to small biz
If the "big box" retailers aren't your thing, the so-called "antithesis of Black Friday" happens just hours later. The push to support and buy local has pushed some shoppers to do their holiday buying on Small Business Saturday.
"This is the community. It's businesses like this that create the atmosphere that you want to be in," a holiday shopper at the Stanley Marketplace told KMGH.
The biggest threat
Likely the largest reason that traditional Black Friday is changing comes from the internet. The invisible lines of online shopping and Cyber Monday are making major waves.
"We've seen less and less in-store traffic every year for the last several years. It truly is the Amazon effect," marketing professor Darrin Duber-Smith of Metro State University said.
In fact, multiple retail surveys showed more than half of consumers say their holiday shopping will be done online.
"The comfort of your own home and looking at the screen, comparing deals, looking at prices and reviews for that product," Ali Besharat explained.
Speed of evolution
Whether it is the size of the line, the time of the opening or the migration to small business or online, the definition of Black Friday is changing. But experts say it's slow moving.
"Over time absolutely the effect of it will be washed down and mitigated over time," Besharat said.

View Full Version : 14GB VRAM required @ 4K?
Hi So I have 2 R9 FURY X and a 4K Monitor, seems I can only play the game at modest settings with the set up as the game requires 14GB VRAM if I want to max everything out. How exactly is that possible? The Titan X is capped at 12GB itself, so I'm wondering what kinda beast will be able to play AC sYNDICATE @ 4k without restorting to 4 X fURY 9 x Crossfire set up?
Great game otherwise, decently optimized, but not enough to warrant 4 gfx cards!
It means 7 per card.
VRAM doesnt stack, so if you 100 cards with 12 GB, it is still 12 GB and data will be mirrored among all GPUs, but with new DX12 and Vulkan , it is possible to stack VRAM but it depends on how the game is developed to stack VRAM. however, there are currently no games on DX12 and this game is DX11.
Now FuryX has 4GB of memory, even if you have multi GPUs, so 4GB is low for 4k resolution considering all other graphics options.

NVIDIA GRID Demo Dazzles Gamers at CES
January 9, 2013 by Brian Caulfield
Here at our bustling CES booth, it can be hard to talk about NVIDIA's GRID Cloud Gaming Platform to visitors like Joe Romero and Evan Smith.
That's because the 20-something buddies were so engrossed in a game of "Assassin's Creed III" being streamed to them on a MacBook Pro that they barely had time to make eye contact.
Small screen, big action: playing 'Need for Speed,' on a smartphone.
They're huge fans of the game, and have played through it several times. Ordinarily, doing so requires a powerful gaming console or a PC equipped with the latest GPU. The game isn't available on Macs.
But thanks to the powerful hardware and software powering NVIDIA's GRID, gamers at the show are enjoying "Assassin's Creed III," and other premium games on a range of notebook computers, tablets, smartphones, and even smart TVs.
"This is just smooth," Romero said as his character took out a pair of virtual foes aboard an 18th century warship.
"Extremely smooth," Smith added, eyes glued to the stream.
NVIDIAN Vijay Ramadoss, who's working at the booth, says "smooth" is the word most visitors use to describe their experience with GRID.
"People are excited by the fact they can do gaming on mobile devices as well as PCs," Ramadoss says, who enjoys using GRID to play "Need for Speed," an intense racing game published by Electronic Arts.
While our GRID demo was packed with gamers happily clicking their way through their favorite titles, it took a little while for Jeffrey Herman with IMA Test, a company that sells equipment for testing smartphone cameras, to get his head around what he was seeing.
"So you're taking a 3D game at this quality and pushing it from the cloud to any screen?" he asked. "Wow, that's pretty impressive."
He wasn't the only one dazzled by the ability to play intense 3D action games on wafer-thin devices. "It's crazy, I was playing "Street Fighter" on a smartphone over there, and it was unreal," said Basil Kronfli, a writer with Know Your Mobile, a UK blog that covers mobile devices.
As he spoke, Kronfli delivered a crushing series of combos to an opponent in the beat 'em up game running on a tablet computer, momentarily losing his train of thought.
"Sorry," he said. "I'm engrossed."

Yesterday, I almost exploded at my cell phone company. I wanted to yell, "charge me more please!" I'm willing to bet MOST of your speaking clients and prospects feel the same way I do about quality. They WANT to pay you very well for your presentations. Yes, they are very, very happy to pay for quality. In fact, some of them will ONLY work with you, if you to charge them more.
For example, most corporate executives and meeting managers are highly suspicious of a speaker who charges less than $10,000 / HOUR (that's the going rate for a good speaker who is NOT famous. If the going rate is news to you, you can Google "keynote speakers fees" and see for yourself). If you charge less than the going rate, you will damage your credibility, and chances are, corporate clients will fear you might damage their reputation.
The higher your fee, the more they trust you to build their reputation (for more free secrets and/or a free consultation on how to get high-paying speaking engagements, you can sign up to the right. These free secrets can be worth over $200,000 to you and can save you at least two to three years).
A few months ago, I bought a new cell phone. For some reason, nobody explained that the voicemail only has space for three messages and blocks any additional incoming messages. It also deletes voice messages if you don't pick them up right away. This week, two key contacts complained to me that they had tried to leave me messages, but I never returned their call. What!? I was shocked and confused. I'd never heard of voice mail that blocks and deletes voice mails automatically.
I called the phone company, and found out what happened. Turns out that they have a better voicemail plan at a higher price, but nobody bothered to tell me about it. As a result, I may have lost thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there is no way to recover the voicemails or the money I lost. The damage that this low-quality voicemail option did to my reputation was impossible to measure. That's why I really wanted to yell, "charge me more, PLEASE!" I would have been thrilled to pay ten times more for a quality voice mail.
After all, I help elite speakers to become top motivational speakers who profit from presenting. I charge a lot because I help my clients EARN a lot. A single missed voicemail means HUGE missed opportunities for me and for them. Professional speaking is not only a great way to earn money, it's also a great opportunity to inspire and empower people, and create a better world.
Today, I decided to write an article about my experience, to turn those lemons into lemon-aide. The moral of the story? I want top quality, and I'm HAPPY to pay for it. So are most of your ideal clients and prospects.
Profit from Presenting.com and Your Billionaire Brand.com.

I. The Names. It is called in Greek ******: in Latin, Spartium, and Spartum Hispanicum: and in English, Spanish Broom.
III. The Description. The first of these has a tough, woody Root, spreading it self under the Earth many ways; from whence rises up a Stalk five or fix Feet high, with a woody Stock below, covered with a dark Gray, or Ash-coloured Bark, and having above many pliant, long, and slender crested green twigs; whereon, in the beginning of the Year, are set many small, long, green Leaves, which abide not long, but fall away when the Plant comes to flower. Towards the tops of these Branches or Twigs grow the Flowers, fashioned like unto Broom Flowers, but larger as yellow as they, and smelling as well; after which come small long, round, yellowish red Cods, crested at the back, wherein is contained blackish flat Seed, fashioned very like unto the Kidney Bean, but the Cods (Says Gerard) rarely contain more than one seed, seldom two.
IV. Spartum Hispanicum majus flore albo, The greater White flowred Spanish Broom, has a Root like the former, from whence grows up a Stem much higher than the yellow, even to five or fix Feet high, whose Branches are more tough, apt to bend, and compliant, than the former, or that following, having small small Leaves on them like the others, and as soon fading: the Flowers also stand upon long Stalks, and are like the others for form, but larger, and of a White color, and of little or no smell; which being past away, there comes small round Pods or Cods, like the others, but smaller, each one containing, for the most part, but one Seed, something less than the others also.
V. The third Kind, or Pseudospartum flore luteo, is a smaller Spanish Broom, which has also a hard, tough, woody Root, from whence grows a Stem or Stalk of the bigness of ones Thumb at bottom; and grows to be about two Feet high, whose bark is rough, and streaked all along, sending forth many green, slender, pliant Branches, which divide themselves again into many other smaller Twigs, whereon for a while after they are shot forth, abide a few small Leaves, until they begin to shoot out Flowers, and then fall away, leaving the Branches naked, and without Leaves all the rest of the Year after: from the Sides and Joints of the smaller Twigs, shoot forth small long Stalks, bearing many Flowers, smaller and yellower than the former Spartum, without any Scent for the most part: after which come small round skinny Cods, containing for the most part but one Seed in them, and fashioned somewhat like unto the Kidney Bean, which when they are ripe, will by the flaking of the Wind, make a noise in their Pods.
VI. The Places. They all grow in Spain, Italy, France, and other Southern Countries; but the first of them grows with us in Gardens, only as Ornament, says Parkinson, among other delightful Plants, to please the Senses of Seeing and Smelling.
VII. The Times. The first and second Flowers in April and May, and beginning of June the third Flowers in February: and their Seed is ripe before Winter: the first, which grows in our Gardens, its Seed is not ripe till very late in the Year.
VIII. The Qualities, Specification, Preparations, Virtues and Uses, are the same in all respects with English Broom, excepting, that these Spanish Brooms are stronger in operation, and more effectual to the purposes intended; insomuch, that being given inwardly in many of their Preparations as the English, they not only work downwards, but cleanse the Stomach and Body by Vomiting also: this being said, we shall say no more of them here, but refer you to the former Chapter.


A week for old friends—that's audiobook friends we've heard before, but we're oh so glad to hear from them again. The newest John le Carré novel, A LEGACY OF SPIES, is a perfect example. Not only do I celebrate any new title from British master spy novelist le Carré, but LEGACY also brings back George Smiley. Ok, I admit it, I see actor Alec Guiness, but narrator Tom Hollander brings alive the Cold War spy masters and their craft. Le Carré, now in his 80s, read his memoir THE PIGEON TUNNEL magnificently just last year, but it seems right to hand the mic to Tom Hollander here.

New constitution for the British Virgin Islands
Wednesday, February 28th 2007 - 21:00 UTC
The successful conclusion this week of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) constitutional talks was praised by Foreign Office Minister Lord Triestman.
Delegations from BVI and the UK met in London on 26â€"28 February for the fourth round of talks on constitutional review for BVI. The talks were hosted by Lord Triesman, and BVI Chief Minister the Hon Dr Orlando Smith led their delegation. 'I am delighted that we have been able to work together to produce a new constitution for a modern BVI. The new BVI constitution will be an important step forward for the territory and includes provisions devolving significant new powers to the BVI Government. I particularly welcome the fact that the BVI has shown its dedication to the promotion and protection of human rights by including a Fundamental Rights Chapter in the new Constitution", said Lord Triestman. The new constitution will include a chapter on fundamental rights, setting out the key human rights that will be protected for all individuals in the territory. In the field of international affairs, groundbreaking provisions will allow for the devolvement of extensive new powers to the BVI Government and on the issue of internal security, a new National Security Council will be created giving BVI Ministers a greater say in police matters. The new constitution will also give the BVI Premier greater influence in setting the Cabinet agenda as well as creating the new role of Cabinet Secretary to facilitate the workings of the Cabinet. "I congratulate Dr Orlando Smith and his delegation on their determination to secure the best deal for their people, while retaining the links to the UK of which we are all proud", said Lord Triestman. The constitutional review process began in 2004 when the BVI Constitutional Review Commission was appointed and following extensive public consultation the Commission presented its report to Executive Council in February 2005. Its recommendations consequently formed the basis of the BVI delegation's proposals. In the course of 2006, delegations from the BVI and the UK held three rounds of constitutional talks, resulting in a draft text which was discussed in London this week.

i'm currently struggling with EmteriaOS on Raspberry Pi 3b+ because the system is rooted by default.
I wanted to install Sky Go, Netflix and other apps but most of them don't work with a system that is basically unrootable.
I tried apps like "Hide my Root", "RootCloak" and others - no success.
I tried using the app "SuperSU" and unroot completely - no success.
I tried to deactivate and delete the "Superuser" app installed by default - no success.
I tried to change the root permissions in the developer's settings - can't be found.
I even searched for the "su" file in /system/bin and /system/xbin - not there.
Is there ANY way to unroot this system? There are many users who aren't really into rooting their devices for reasons like the one above, so at least being able to choose what to do with their systems would be appreciated.
i would cancel my suscription to "sky" or else if i had one when they didn't allow me playing on an a rooted devices, but netherless, i have TV-Boxes which have already root access and they are running most of these apps ?????
@DrRokko What separates the Raspberry Pi from those chinese TV Boxes you find online is that it can be shaped in whatever you want and its purpose can be changed with just a SD card swap, so it's pretty much a no brainer when it comes to choose between that and a closed system that only does one thing.
The Raspberry Pi can be a pretty good TV box with other apps like XBMC and LibreELEC, but those are a bit more complicated for "regular people" with their way of work and their not fully intuitive GUIs.
With Emteria instead, the Raspberry Pi can become a good TV box that's also easy to use. The problem is that it doesn't give you the chance to unroot or hide the root to use legit apps just like (some) other Android TV Boxes. It's pretty much the only thing that keeps Emteria from being a good Android TV system.
Should we cancel our subscriptions to Sky, Netflix and other on demand services because they have to protect the contents they put on? No of course, that's just being silly.
I just thought Emteria worked like most Android systems out there, so i would like to know if there's really no way of unrooting it.
Well, emteria does work like most others Android systems, but I have not enough knowledge about what exactly those applications check to provide specific steps for unrooting. Everything you said above (deleting Superuser app from /system and deleting /system/xbin/su binary) should be doable. I don't know how system will behave without them though. What exactly didn't work while removing those two?
@kalkov Yes i found those discussions too, but the /system folder is just empty, so something changed in this version of the system.
I'm having the exact same problem. My guess would be Sky are using the Google Safetynet API, so advice on how to return the device to be able to pass the standard tests (excluding known device) would be a good start.
The /system partition cannot be empty. Otherwise the device won't boot.
@Haris1977, the "root" folder doesn't mean that the device is rooted. I don't believe it has influence on this decision. You can actually delete /system/xbin/su if you wish. Please google "adb root", "adb remount" and "adb shell" and use the ADB over Ethernet feature from emteria settings.
If (i say if) Emteria can be fully unrooted why dont you share with us how to do it?
Because my time is limited and I can't write detailed tutorials for each single request. Google it, and you will be able to do it yourself. You could also purchase extended support and we will be happy to help you.
Before you want to play admin you must first RTM.
And finally should there be a OTA all this will most likely have to done again. Of course if you break the system it's not my fault.


PORT ARANSAS - The first true Texas beach resort is currently underway in the historic beach town of Port Aransas. The Palmilla Beach Resort & Golf Club is located at 3628 Island Moorings Pkwy.

Three hotel properties are also planned for Palmilla Beach. The first is a 120 room, full-service hotel and conference center. The northern reach of the golf course will be the site for a beachfront high-rise hotel on approximately 14 acres. The third site lies within the Village North community that will encompass the future clubhouse at the golf course.
The new homes, ranging from approximately 5,500 to 7,900 sf, will cost between $295,000 and $750,000. Palmilla Beach will also hold in reserve approximately 349 acres of bay front property for future use.
Features of the property include an Arnold Palmer Signature Links-style Championship golf course, resort-style pool and more than 350 permitted marina boat slips.

Canning Vale, with a population of just under 23,500 in the last census, is a large southern suburb of Perth residing only twenty kilometers from the Perth CDB. Named after the Canning river.
It wasn't until 1994 that a large property development process was put into place with the Metropolitan Region Scheme turning what was a mostly rural area into what is now a residential area, though to do so property developers had to fit a fair number of landscaped lakes in and around these residential areas so to drain this largely swampy area. Despite the small size of Canning Vale, the close by location of the Perth CBD, coupled with good transport links, makes Canning Vale the ideal location for families wanting to get away from the light and sounds while still having all the amenities of the city on their doorstep.
