    THE NUTTY PROFESSOR HOME / OCTOBER 2016 / THE NUTTY PROFESSOR The Nutty Professor 0 Meet the man responsible for saving and spreading chestnut trees By Maria Johnson This harvest season, if you find yourself sipping wine or enjoying dishes made with chestnuts, you might toast Robert Dunstan, a wiry little man whose brilliant backyard tinkering revived chestnut trees in the United States and helped to save thousands of acres of French wine grapes. Dunstan was a professor of Romance languages at Greensboro College from the late 1920s to the early 1960s. When he wasn’t teaching or grading papers, Professor Dunstan, who lived on two acres near present-day Interstate 40 and Four Seasons Town Centre mall, played in his yard. An amateur plant breeder, his passion was creating hybrids. He dabbled mostly in trees and grapes. He made his first mark with grapes. In the late 1930s, Dunstan plant-sat for a friend, a Duke University professor who left his roses in Dunstan’s care while he was on sabbatical in France. As a gift for tending the roses, the friend brought Dunstan some French grape plants. Dunstan tucked the plants into Piedmont soil. The grapes struggled and withered. “Grandpa became interested in why the grapes died,” says his grandson, Robert Wallace of Alachua, Florida. Dunstan had grown up in Windsor, North Carolina, on the lip of Albemarle Sound, where native muscadine grapes flourished. Dunstan, too, had come from hardy stock. His father, H.V. Dunstan, a Civil War surgeon, walked 500 miles from a Confederate hospital in Georgia to his home in Windsor, when the war ended.

The exhibition has been programmed in partnership with DC Thomson to celebrate the 80th anniversary of The Broons and Oor Wullie. The invited artists, Rabiya Choudhry, Rob Churm, Craig Coulthard, Malcy Duff, Hideyuki Katsumata and Sofia Sita, have each visited the DC Thomson archives and are exhibiting their own individual takes on the rich cultural history of our city’s publishing. The exhibition features murals, prints, drawings, sculpture and video alongside archive material. ARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION RABIYA CHOUDHRY Edinburgh-based artist Rabiya Choudhry’s work takes inspiration from childhood memories and subconscious dreams. She has created new work for the exhibition loosely based on her own family and inspired by DC Thomson’s riotous comic strip The Numskulls, about a team of tiny human-like technicians who live inside people’s heads and run their bodies and minds. Choudhry’s own comic creation, The Coconuts, is the basis for a new pair of paintings in homage to The Numskulls. The paintings are titled dream baby dream and houses for the holy, in reference to songs by the bands Suicide and Led Zeppelin respectively.

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Randall, or The Painted Grape and Beyond Ekphrasis: The Role and Function of Artworks in the Novels of Don DeLillo Jonathan Gibbs Thesis submitted for the qualification of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of East Anglia, Department of Literature, Drama, and Creative Writing, July 2013. © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognize that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract This thesis is presented in two sections: firstly, a novel, Randall, or The Painted Grape; and secondly, an essay, ‘Beyond Ekphrasis: The Role and Function of Artworks in the Novels of Don DeLillo’. Randall, or The Painted Grape is a novel about the Young British Artists. It takes the form of a fictitious biographical memoir of an artist, Randall, written by his friend Vincent, after Randall’s death. This memoir is interpolated with sections treating Vincent and Justine, Randall’s widow, following their discovery of a series of previously unknown paintings by Randall. ‘Beyond Ekphrasis: The Role and Function of Artworks in the Novels of Don DeLillo’ discusses critical approaches to the treatment of artworks in fiction. It considers existing theories of ekphrasis (the literary description of a work of art) and explores how far these theories, which most often treat poems addressing paintings and sculptures, can be applied to prose fiction, and to post-representational and conceptual art forms.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, May 21, 2010 Oakland A's Get No Clutch
    A’s News Clips, Friday, May 21, 2010 Oakland A's get no clutch hitting, fall to Detroit Tigers By Curtis Pashelka, Oakland Tribune Tyson Ross and Vin Mazzaro allowed a combined 12 hits in a 5-2 A's loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon at the Oakland Coliseum. But manager Bob Geren wasn't totally displeased with how his young pitchers performed. Instead, Geren lamented his team's lack of production at critical times, as the A's left 10 men on base and were 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position in losing for the seventh time in nine games. "(Ross) had pretty good life on his ball, a good sinker going. We just didn't score enough runs for him," Geren said. "(Vin) did his job and kept us in there. We had the tying run at the plate at the end of the game "... but we were just a swing or two short today." The A's (20-22) may not have had much of a chance against Justin Verlander during a 5-1 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday night. But they couldn't take full advantage of a juicy opportunity against a wobbly Jeremy Bonderman in the third inning Thursday. After three walks, the A's had the bases loaded with two outs when Bonderman hit Kurt Suzuki with a pitch to bring home Adam Rosales. But with the bases still loaded, Jack Cust lined a slider by Bonderman right to Tigers right fielder Brennan Boesch. "It just didn't go our way," Cust said.
