The AllMusic review by Al Campbell noted that "Nice Guys was the first Art Ensemble of Chicago album released after a five-year recording hiatus and the group's first for the ECM label. During those five years, the Art Ensemble toured Europe and continued to expand its compositional, improvisational, and theatrical jazz fundamentals, captured abundantly on Nice Guys... the album reveals how the AEC managed to turn individual compositions into a fully realized, surprisingly accessible, avant-garde group collective."
DownBeat critic Art Lange writes that Nice Guys, while not the Art Ensemble's best album, "is possibly their most representative, a variegated showcase illustrating much of what they do best."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars out of 4, stating that "much of the music seems almost formulaic, the improvisation limited".

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "the basic concept behind the session is the kind of populist nod one rarely associates with cool-school jazz. Thing is, The Swing's to TV is great stuff, a cerebral and atmospheric set of ballads performed with sincerity and affection -- Shank and Cooper always make for a compelling tandem, and songs like 'When You Wish Upon a Star' and 'Put Your Dreams Away' are well matched to their respective talents".

# The Sunbird

The Sunbird is a 1972 novel by Wilbur Smith about an archeological dig. The novel depicts a search for a Phoenician city in modern Botswana.
The novel was a favourite of Smith's, who claimed it was heavily influenced by H. Rider Haggard. Smith:
   It was a very important book for me in my development as a writer because at that stage I was starting to become enchanted by the lure of Hollywood. There had been some movies made of my books and I thought "whoa, what a way to go… All that money!" and I thought "hold on – am I a scriptwriter or am I a real writer?" Writing a book that could never be filmed was my declaration of independence. I made it so diffuse, with different ages and brought characters back as different entities. It was a complex book, it gave me a great deal of pleasure but that was the inspiration – to break free.

## Plot

Archeologist Benjamin Kazin with the aid of his assistant Sally searches Botswana for what he believes to be the remains of the ancient Phoenician city of Opet.

## Background

Smith was inspired in 1971 to begin work on the novel by memories of a childhood visit with his family to the ruins of Great Zimbabwe in 1941 and his resulting obsession with civilizations rising and falling. Work on the novel was begun during a writing retreat in a caravan in the Bvumba Mountains.
Despite the subject matter being different from his previous novels, pre-orders were four times higher than any of them.
The novel began Smith's tradition of every hardback first edition having an embossed sunbird on the lower right hand corner of the front cover.
Smith later named his home on the foothills of Table Mountain in Cape Town "Sunbird Hill". He also named his private trust, the Sunbird Trust.

## Reception

Academic Martin Hall has criticized The Sunbird for an alleged inherent stance against African nationalism and implicit defense of white rule in southern Africa.
Another academic wrote that the book " is the most complete fictional exploration of an exotic Great Zimbabwe since Benita. It confirms that as the prospect of war loomed, white Rhodesians felt the same insecurity as they had in 1890s; and, as they had done in the 1890s, they turned to the ruined city for inspiration. Wilbur Smith, who was born in Zambia and briefly lived in Rhodesia, identifies with their vulnerability."

## Adaptation

Film rights to the book were purchased by Michael Klinger who had filmed two other Smith novels. However, as of 2023 no film has resulted.
Progressive death metal/rock band Opeth took its name from the word "Opet", which in the novel is the name of a fictional Phoenician city in South Africa and whose name is translated as "City of the Moon".

# The University of Texas National Championship 2005

The University of Texas National Championship 2005 is a painting by Opie Otterstad. It was commissioned in 2006 by The University of Texas at Austin to commemorate the 2005 Texas Longhorns football team who won the 2005 NCAA Division I-A national football championship in college football. The Longhorns secured the championship by defeating the University of Southern California Trojans in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
The painting was officially unveiled May 6 and 7, 2006, at a gallery called Art on 5th. The work is oil on canvas. Following his usual practice, Otterstad completed the painting without the use of paint brushes. The painting consists of 15 separate images, each painted on a separate canvas and then stitched together to form a single work measuring approximately 5 feet high by 8 feet wide (1.52 by 2.44 metres). Each image features one moment from either the championship game or the ensuing Texas celebration.
Some figures from past Texas seasons are also included in the background, such as James Street handing off to Billy Dale which was a famous play from the 1969 championship. Darrell Royal's face appears as a shadow behind the image of Mack Brown holding aloft the championship trophy.

The Sylvie and Babs Hi-Fi Companion is an album by Nurse With Wound.
In his book "England's Hidden Reverse", David Keenan describes the album as "some light relief in the early Nurse catalogue". Steven Stapleton told Keenan "I wanted to make a record that was stolen from other people's records". Gary Levermore of Third Mind Records recalled to Keenan that Stapleton was "desperate to get his hands on a copy of Roger Miller's "King of the Road" in order to incorporate it into the forthcoming record".
Although largely collaged from easy-listening records Stapleton acquired in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the album boasted a large cast list of over 40 people. John Balance is one of those who are credited, but he did not actually contribute. As Stapleton explained to Keenan, "I'd just finished this album with about 40 people on it. He said, "Can I be on it?". I said, "It's finished". He said, "I know but can you give me a credit anyway?", I said "Alright then" That was my first meeting with Balance".

## Track listing

* You Walrus Hurt The One You Love
* Great Balls Of Fur
Although all editions of this release contain these two tracks, there are several versions of this album.
An LP issued by LAYLAH came in two different editions, one subject to DMM Mastering (1988) and one not (1985). The music on each of these editions contained minor differences. The 1988 CD edition of L.A.Y.L.A.H. accidentally used the original 1985 mix. A cassette edition issued on United Dairies in 1987 contained a minute of music at the beginning of "Great Balls Of Fur" unheard on any other edition. The 1995 CD on United Dairies was retitled "The Sylvie and Babs High-Thigh Companion" and was again re-edited. The current 2CD United Dirter edition again uses the revised version and adds two new remixes, one by M.S. Waldron (irr.app.(ext.)) and one by Andrew Liles, and random non-LP tracks (some not included on 'Flawed Existence') from the mid-80s.

# DeskSpace

DeskSpace, formerly known as Yod'm 3D (short for Yet anOther Desktop Manager 3D) is a virtual desktop manager available for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

## Features

DeskSpace maps six virtual desktops to a cube and allows the user to switch between them, similar to the cube plugin for the Compiz window manager for the X Window System in Linux. Deskspace is the first desktop manager to make the cube-style desktop feature available on Microsoft Windows. DeskSpace makes use of and requires DirectX 8.1 in contrast to most other virtual desktop managers that use OpenGL. It supports up to nine monitors. DeskSpace supports 64-bit applications, applications that require Administrator permissions to run, applications that implement User Interface Privilege Isolation, such as Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, and console windows.
DeskSpace costs US$24.95, and is available for a 14-day trial.

## History and development

Yod'm 3D was the first desktop manager to make the cube-style desktop feature available on Microsoft Windows. It was developed as freeware up to version 1.4 by Christian Salmon from Chris'n'Soft. It supported four virtual desktops on a single monitor. Yod'm 3D was acquired by Otaku Software Pty Ltd on July 9, 2007. Following the acquisition, it renamed to DeskSpace, and later versions would be trialware, not freeware. Yod'm 3D is still available to download from various sources.
Otaku Software held a beta test during August and September 2007, and the first release under the DeskSpace name, version 1.5.1, was released on 18 September 2007. DeskSpace 1.5.1 included a completely re-written graphics subsystem, based on the TopDesk graphics subsystem, that supported multiple monitors and 360 degree sky box backgrounds. Subsequent versions of DeskSpace has included re-written input, windowing, and virtual desktop subsystems. As of October 30, 2009 there were fewer than 500 lines of Yod'm source remaining in the DeskSpace code base.
On February 6, 2009, DeskSpace was reviewed on the BBC News 'Click' television segment.

# The Valiant Tinker

The Valiant Tinker is a 1939 Australian radio play by Catherine Shepherd about John Bunyan. The play was popular and was performed again in 1941 and 1950.
The play was one of Shepherd's key works.
According to Leslie Rees the play "demonstrated the political and religious pressure the writer may meet when he writes his mind, and how he must resist it. There are no heroics about Bunyan in this play, he quietly prefers prison to blinkers, there is a quality of peaceful certainty in him, he knows what he must do."

## Premise

"Bunyan had no education and could not even spell, but managed to write a book which has lasted two and a half centuries and has been read by millions... “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” He had no help in writing the book; indeed, he wrote it in gaol. He knew nothing of English literature and had no suspicion that he was turning out a masterpiece. The resulting allegory, though essentially a record of Christian's spiritual experience, has delighted so many adventure-loving readers that Christian has been compared with Jack the Giant-killer. Miss Shepherd tells how the “valiant tinker” was converted by a strange happening in an inn from his “sins” of dancing upon the green, playing tip-cat, and ringing the bells of the church steeple. The story shows Bunyan's intense examination of his own inward life, his being visited by “Angels of Light and Darkness.” his determination to be a preacher, his insistence on freedom of speech—“l say there’s no freedom except a man may think as his conscience directs him and speak out boldly the thought in his mind” —his incarceration for refusal to curb his opinions, and decision to write “The Pilgrim’s Progress”."

# Jim McGrath (Australian commentator)

Jim Aloysius McGrath (born 13 June 1952 in Charlton, Victoria, Australia) was the BBC's senior horse racing commentator from 1997 to 2012, when the corporation lost the television rights to all horse racing in Great Britain to Channel 4.
He was previously deputy race commentator, and sometimes a paddock commentator from 1993 to 1997, when Peter O'Sullevan was the lead commentator.

## Career

McGrath initially commentated in his native Australia but found few opportunities so he moved to Hong Kong in 1973.
In 1984 he moved to Europe, initially commentating at Phoenix Park in Dublin. In the same year he covered the Ebor meeting at York, receiving positive reviews from national news sources.
McGrath joined the BBC in time for the 1993 racing season. He succeeded Peter O'Sullevan as the BBC's senior race commentator in December 1997. He then commentated on all of the BBC's major meetings including the Derby and The Oaks, Royal Ascot, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the Irish Derby, the Hennessy Gold Cup, Glorious Goodwood, the Welsh National, and the world's most famous steeplechase, the Grand National. Before becoming the main race caller for the Grand National in 1998 he was stationed out in the country at Becher's Brook covering fences 5/21 - fences 9/25 (Valentine's Brook) from 1993 - 1997. The three portions of the 4½-mile race he would cover from 1998 would be from the start up to the first fence, the 13th to 17th fence, and from the 29th fence to the finishing post. McGrath called home the winner of every National from 1998 to 2012.
McGrath has also commentated on the Melbourne Cup in Australia.
In 2004 he became a presenter on At The Races. He was "Hotspur" of The Daily Telegraph from 1991 to 2014.
In 2013 the rights to televise British horse racing went exclusively to Channel 4 and McGrath decided not to make the move. He was publicly critical of the BBC for losing the National and other key meetings.

## Awards

McGrath won the Royal Television Society's Commentator of the Year award in 2001.
