Tesla Motors has found a new application for its battery technology -- off-grid solar-powered homes. The automaker is teaming up with solar panel installer SolarCity to connect its batteries to solar-powered homes, unlinking the panels from the grid and using the batteries as back-up.
The team has submtited applications for 70 different projects to California utility PG&E's solar incentive program that would see homes linked together with Tesla battery packs and solar panels. The batteries would store energy produced by the buy discount levitra panels for use during the night, on cloudy days and during grid power outages, allowing the homes to operate fully free of the grid.
The partnership is relying on viagra no prescription incentives to get the projects moving. If the projects qualify for the California incentives and federal tax incentives, the cost of these installations could be cut in half, making them much more appealing to homeowners since solar panel installations are already expensive and those coupled with battery storage would be even more so. But if they can get the costs down and market this combined system, we could see off-grid living become much more approachable.

I suddenly had thoughts of a world where we don't have dedicated power plants, instead having compound structures which can generate enough power to support power-hungry structures such as hospitals.

When you're trying to organize the perfect Valentine's Day evening with your other half, the last thing you'd want to contend with are hordes of flower-toting couples getting in your way of your romantic dinner. Thankfully, these five spots will provide all the much-needed passion, without you having to jostle with other canoodling couples.
Bistro @ Gardenasia
Bistro by Gardenasia's location by the Kranji countryside might be a little far-flung, but it affords a rare sense of serenity and peace that few other restaurants can boast about.
Kranji is hardly the place that comes to mind when one mentions 'Valentine's Day dinner' (and even then, we'd assume you're making a trip up north), but Bistro by Gardenasia's constantly sold-out Valentine's Day tables just proves that others are already onto something that we aren't yet. Set by the Kranji countryside, Bistro by Gardenasia affords all of the rare serenity only the great outdoors could. It's also the perfect spot for catching the sunset as you tuck into a Valentine's Day menu of Angus prime fillet steak and cod fillet.
Price: S$238 per couple
Bistro by Gardenasia, 240 Neo Tiew Crescent, +65 6336 5881, www.gardenasia.com
Buona Terra
New Italian restaurant Buona Terra brings romance to the tables with chef Denis Lucchi's modernistic Italian cuisine.
With just 24 seats housed within a colonial house along Scotts Road, Buona Terra promises an intimate setting for couples to savour a five-course Valentine's Day dinner featuring the modernistic Italian cuisine of executive chef Denis Lucchi. Enjoy creations such as seafood appetizer Carpaccio di Capesante e Ricci di Mare, Lamb Loin in Amaretti Crust with Pumpkin Flan and Port Wine Sauce, and a dessert of three types of chocolate mousse, and wash it all down with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco.
Price: S$256 per couple
Buona Terra, 29A Scotts Road, Singapore 228224, +65 6733 0209, firstname.lastname@example.com
Take in the breathtaking city views from the top of Swissotel at JAAN as you tuck into chef Julien Royer's special Valentine's Day menu.
Nothing says romance more than a Valentine's Day dinner at JAAN, and specially for the occasion, chef de cuisine Julien Royer has prepared a seven-course degustation featuring his signature 55' Smoked Organic Egg and other highlights like the Brittany Seabass that you will savour with a glass of Krug whilst luxuriating in the surrounding city views.
Price: S$330 per person
JAAN Restaurant, 2 Stamford Road, Level 70, Equinox Complex, Swissotel the Stamford, +65 6837 3322
Joël Robuchon Restaurant
Celebrity chef Joel Robuchon brings fireworks to the table this Valentine's Day with his special nine-course set dinner menu.
For all the pomp and circumstance that fine-dining establishments are wont to do for the occasion, few do it as well, and with as much elegance as Joël Robuchon Restaurant. If Robuchon's nine-course set menu -- featuring exquisite dishes like roasted turbot and chestnut casserole with yellow wine jus, grilled beef, roasted foie gras with port, and reverse apple pie -- doesn't say love, we don't know what will.
Price: S$380 per person, available only on 14 February 2013
Joël Robuchon Restaurant, 8 Sentosa Gateway, Hotel Michael (Resorts World Sentosa), +65 6577 7888
The Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens
The beautiful greenery at The Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens is the perfect setting for indulgence this Valentine's Day.
The lush greenery of The Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens sets the mood for much indulgence with its special five-course dinner featuring the meaty delights of Grilled Rangers Valley Wagyu Rump Cap, and Parmesan and Almond Crusted Hiramasa Kingfish. There's even a vegetarian option, where couples can tuck into dishes like the Warm Salad of Tomato, Yuzu, Chilli and Tofu, as well as Risotto of Wild French Mushrooms, Asparagus, Truffle and Parmesan Foam.
Price: S$300 nett per couple, S$420 nett per couple with wine pairing; S$500 nett per couple (includes a single stalk of rose, Halia mignardise and a photo souvenir of the couple); S$620 nett per couple with wine pairing for Premium Garden-side Dining (includes a bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne, a bouquet of dozen roses, premium gifts of The Halia tea voucher and a limited table by the garden)
The Halia at Singapore Botanic Gardens,1 Cluny Road, Ginger Garden, Singapore Botanic Gardens, +65 6287 0711, firstname.lastname@example.com (full payment is required for confirmation of all reservations)

Kelly Clark
Kelly Clark
The ruling rider in competitive snowboarding, Kelly Clark has arguably done more to further women's progression than any other, cranking up the level for superpipe amplitude, trick progression, and consistency.
With multiple Burton Global Open Titles, X Games podiums, and an Olympic Gold and Bronze already in hand, Kelly rounded out her 2013 season with a record-setting sixth win at the Burton US Open. Sealing up her 61st career victory (more than Shaun White), and the TTR World Snowboard Tour Halfpipe Champion title to boot, just wasn't enough for Kelly. She still managed to squeeze in photoshoots, testing for the latest Burton Supreme boot, and filming for the new Burton Presents – WOMEN'S (Snowboarding) video. With a bid for a third Olympic medal coming in hot, you can bet all eyes will be watching how the West Dover, Vermont icon performs in Sochi this winter.Age: 31 Home Town: West Dover, Vermont Home Mountain: Mount Snow, Vermont Stance: Regular, 21" wide, 21° front, -6° back

SPOKANE-- The Spokane Shock took down the Tampa Bay Storm 69-57 in ArenaBowl XXIII in front of 11,017 fans at Veterans Memorial Arena on Friday.
Tampa Bay struck pay dirt first with a three-yard rushing touchdown by Eric Ortiz. Spokane fired right back with a touchdown of their own, thanks to a six-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Rowley to Huey Whittaker.
Spokane's defense set the tone for the rest of the game. Jeremy Geathers forced a fumble on Tampa Bay's second drive that was recovered by Richard Clebert. He returned it 35 yards to put Spokane's offense in scoring position again. Two plays later, Rowley found Markee White for a five-yard touchdown.
White continued to go on an offensive tear, leading the team with nine receptions for 99 yards and four touchdowns. Whittaker shared the spotlight by scoring four touchdowns of his own.
Rowley finished the game completing 29-of-34 passes for 237 yards and nine touchdowns. He also scored a rushing touchdown and did not throw an interception. For his efforts, Rowley was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
Tampa Bay quarterback Brett Dietz finished the game completing with 306 yards and four touchdowns. Spokane's Mervin Brookins and Travis Williams each recorded an interception.
This is the third championship in Shock history, but it's their first in the Arena Football League. Spokane won two ArenaCup titles (2006 & 2009) as a member of the arenafootball2.

As of Friday, January 20, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Newton County Fire Service firefighters were kept busy Wednesday night with four reports of fire, including a cooking fire and a chimney fire. In three of the incidents, things were brought under control before there was any damage. In the fourth, a house was destroyed.
Both the Covington Fire Department and NCFS went to 10119 Settlers Grove Road around midnight and found the left back corner of the house on fire.
"The city and the county joined efforts to extinguish it," said NCFS Investigator Lt. Cydnie Taylor-Ridling. "It was in the attic when they got there and they stopped it. It didn't spread and do any other damage, but there was smoke and water damage."
Taylor said so far her investigation into the fire confirmed what the occupant, a man in his 30s who was renting the house, said happened to cause the fire.
"Although we cannot say specifically, he said he left a candle burning and woke up choking on smoke. He got his dog and left the house," Taylor-Ridling said. "There were no smoke detectors."
She said between the fire, smoke and water, the house and contents were a total loss. Tax records indicate a value of $50,000 on the dwelling, but the renter indicated he had no insurance on the contents, Taylor-Ridling said.

Because the modules page only supports one branch right now, the only version you can get from there is the 2.4 (trunk) version. For now, 2.3 users should use these exports from the 2.3 branch. Don't forget to change the directory name to "dataobject_manager" and "image_gallery".

Hi Uncle Cheese,
I'm just a new in using SilverStripe and even newer in using DataObjectManager module. The live search field on the DataObjectManager can't seem to function on my end. I try to search for some values that clearly exists in the DataObjectManager but it doesn't search it. Did I miss something? Like some line of codes to make live search field operational?
Hoping for your quick response. Thanks in advance.
Oh, by the way, DataObjectManager rocks! \m/
Re: 2.3 Branch
29 April 2010 at 3:42am
Does the search run and not return anything, or does the field just not work entirely?

I suppose it's not working. Because when I tried to search for something that clearly exists in the DataObjectManager, it still displays all the objects managed by the DataObjectManager.

With a clean 2.3.7 install where this module is added the following issues have been found on my side:
- The date picker does not work. Not all required files for the date picker do not exist in the directory of which is pointed.
- The view icons when hovering does not show (Sometimes two edit action icons show on hover depending on if view is enabled or not)
- The __construct requires a third parameter ($start) to be passed in and this is not set and has been changed for some reason
- The DataObject initiates its load close to the top left and then repositions to the middle of the screen
- The action buttons on the popups are not included in the frame of the lightbox module but rather have to be scrolled down to click.
Re: 2.3 Branch
30 April 2010 at 3:57am
Those all sound like symptoms of running 2.4 on a 2.3 installation. I'll double check the 2.3 branch, but I haven't updated it in a long time so i can't imagine that it would have gotten out of sync.

A Night out with... Adam Phillips 3 December 2013
~ The HH Diary ~
Adam Phillips at the RSA
Last night we were at the RSA to watch Adam Phillips in conversation with Matthew Taylor on the subject of psychotherapy and Adam's latest collection of essays One Way and Another.
Discussion meandered from the meaning of life, to the overuse of Freudian terminology in day to day conversation, to Adam's own fondness for the essay form. In explaining that his own writing habits have a loose connection with free association (a technique used during psychoanalysis), Adam revealed the inherent overlap between his work and his writing. He rarely plans out the direction of an essay, and usually thinks of the first sentence when walking to work in the morning.
When asked why his musings on human behaviour and the mind don't engage directly with neuroscience, Adam replied 'I find the brain the least alluring body part'. He is much more concerned with faces, people, and emotion. This fruitful and enlightening discussion was brought to a close by Adam sharing his favourite Lacan quote: 'Love is giving something you don't have to someone who doesn't exist'.
Missed the talk? You can watch it from start to finish here.
One Way and Another is out now.

From the Archive - Issue 22 25 November 2013
(In honour of National Tree Week, we're revisiting one of our pieces from Five Dials 22, a special issue dedicated to plants, foliage and all things flora. Here William Fiennes draws us into the world of the ash. )
Why the Ash Has Black Buds
William Fiennes
The trees have always had some idea of what happens to them when they die. In forests they saw their neighbours toppled by wind or age and rot into earth, and their roots sent up descriptions of peat and coal in vast beds and seams. Later, when humans came along, trees saw the stockades, the carts pulled by horses, the chairs and tables set out in gardens, and quickly put two and two together. Trees growing beside rivers saw themselves in the hulls and masts of boats, and trees in orchards understood that the ladders propped against them had once been trees, and when men approached with axes to fell them, the trees recognized the handles.
Trees often wondered what their particular fate might be. Would they subside into the long sleep of coal, or blaze for an hour in a cottage grate, or find themselves reconfigured as handle, hurdle, post, shaft, stake, joist, beam – or something more elaborate and rare: an abacus, a chess piece, a harpsichord? And out of these dreams a rumour moved among the trees of the world like a wind, not quite understood at first, it was so strange – a rumour that when they died, instead of being burned, planed, planked, shimmed, sharpened, many trees would be pulped. This was an entirely new idea to trees, whose self-image was all to do with trunk, sturdiness, backbone, form. But trees are good at getting the hang of things, and soon they understood that from pulp would come the white leaves humans called paper, and that these leaves would be bound into books, and after a short season of anxiety in which conifers shed uncharacteristic quantities of needles, the trees came to terms with this new possibility in the range of their afterlives.
Yes, the trees recognized themselves in paper, in books, just as they recognized themselves in all the other things that hadn't been thought of quite yet, like bedsteads and bagpipes and bonfires, not to mention violins, cricket bats, toothpicks, clothes pegs, chopsticks and misericords. Men and women would sit in the shade of trees, reading books, and the trees, dreaming of all that was to come, saw that they were the books as well as the chairs the men and women sat in, and the combs in the women's hair, and the shiny handles of the muskets, and the hoops the children chased across the lawns. The trees took pride in the idea of being a book: they thought a book was a noble thing to become, if you had to become anything – a terrible bore to be a rafter, after all, and a wheel would mean such a battering, though of course the travel was a bonus, and what tree in its right mind would wish to be rack, coffin, crucifix, gallows . . .
One tree was more excited than all the rest, and that was the ash. The ash has such an inviting, feathery shade: when men and women first had books to take into the shade of trees, they often chose the shade of an ash. The ash would look down at these people reading and see that they were discovering new regions inside themselves, and notice how when they stood up and left the jurisdiction of its branches they had changed as if buds inside them were coming into leaf, and the ash saw that this change was a property of the marks on the paper, and that paper was the only leaf with worlds in it. Soon ash trees were discussing this phenomenon all over the place, whispering about books in Manchuria and Poland and the Pennines, passing information from grove to grove, until ash trees across North America and the Eastern and Western Palearctic were sighing and swaying with thoughts of words and pens and poems and printing presses and Odysseus and Scheherazade and the Song of Songs . . .
So ash trees dreamed of becoming books themselves one day, even though they would be much in demand as firewood, and prized as material for oars, hockey sticks and the chassis frames of Morgan motor cars. Sometimes, dreaming ahead, they saw men and women sitting beneath them, writing – writing in notebooks and diaries, writing letters of love and consolation, writing stories. And the ash tree wanted to be that, too – not just the book, but the writing in it, the words that carried the worlds. They saw the men and women holding their pens, and the ink that came out of them on to the paper, and although they didn't have hands, they tried to curl their branches into fingers that might hold pens, and they dreamed it so vividly that the tips of their fingers turned black with ink as they waved against the blank white page of the sky, trying to write on it.
Look closely: the ash tree has black buds, and the branches bend upwards at their tips, towards the whiteness.

On fountain pens... 20 November 2013
(Brian Dillon takes us through his love for fountain pens and writing by hand.)
The fountain pen on my desk — not the one I'm writing with, for reasons below — is a postwar Sheaffer Craftsman in Prussian Blue: a curvy little lever-filler with a No. 33 nib in fourteen-carat gold. That makes it sound deluxe, but on its release in 1948 the Craftsman was modestly priced at $3, and the US manufacturer sold plenty, in half a dozen shades. The pen must have felt expensive in down-at-heel Dublin when my father was given it — I'm guessing, by the dates — as a twenty-first-birthday present in November 1949. He was then a telegraph clerk, lately promoted from Post Office errand boy. I doubt he took his Sheaffer to work with him. But he was certainly making notes with it as a mature student in the mid 1960s, and in the evenings he used it (you can tell by his hand) to draft the few pious mock-Eliotic poems he published before marriage and myself took up his time.
The pen is not exactly an object of nostalgia, because I have no memory of my father writing with it when I was a child. I found it after he died, when I was twenty-one; I must have been rooting in the wardrobe for life-insurance papers or a nonexistent will. I carried it around with me for about a year — I was wearing his watch too, but it slipped from my wrist on the library stairs — before it occurred to me to buy a bottle of Quink and actually use it. The pen would only suck up sufficient ink for a few lines at a time, but I spent the summer of 1992 writing an MA thesis with it, stopping every ten minutes to hook a fingernail behind the thin gold lever and get blue-black stains on my fingers.
By the time I took it to The Pen Corner on Dame Street to have it repaired — a supple new ink sac, an unclogged feed — I'd developed an anxious, OCD-ish, relationship with my father's pen. It saw me fretfully through much of my drawn-out, half botched Ph.D. I wrote scraps of my first book with it, before I knew it was a book. It's still the pen I reach for in the early stages of all sorts of writing, always with the intention — an obsessive displacement, for sure — of making it to the end of an article, essay or book with the little Craftsman still in my hand.
It hardly ever works out. Even allowing for the usual writerly panic — the moment when a handwritten draft suddenly seems an insane luxury, and you start hammering at the keyboard — I get sick of this object time and again. I've sometimes put it away for years, so that residual ink solidifies and it has to be serviced once more. When it's working, it writes like a dream: silent and smooth, with a fine line, ever so slightly 'stubby' as the proper pen geeks say. But eventually it disgusts me: I'm almost sure that's the word. The pen starts to feel fragile and oddly organic. (Something to do with the celluloid, which despite its Moderne lines is apt to decay?) If writing is a bodily activity, as we all like to say wistfully now, then I must have a hypochondriac's relationship with my dad's pen; after a while I start to fear for it, but also to hate its vulnerability, and I have to put it down.
I'm no luddite, let me say. I love my super-slim laptop, and in emergencies I've typed thousands of words on a tablet, even hundreds on my phone. But mostly everything gets written first by hand, and for the last decade I've been swapping between fountain pen and pencil. There has usually also been a backup pen, for times when the Sheaffer is out of favour or has run out of ink while I'm away from my desk. (There's a bottle of Diamine Presidential Blue in my office at home, a second in the kitchen, a third where I teach — yet more delicate things to worry about.) A year ago my partner bought me this pen: a Lamy 2000 in matte-black plastic and textured steel, with an extra-fine nib. It turns out that German pens run wider than advertised; this is about as broad as I could comfortably use. The half-hooded nib won't dry out in the pause, which might last many uncapped minutes, between one word and the next.
Almost as important: the neo-Bauhaus Lamy 2000 looks nothing like the mock-deco horrors that are put out these days by most remaining fountain pen manufacturers. Mine is new, but the model has been in constant production since 1966. The 2000 was designed by Gerd A. Müller, apparently as a response to the clean lines of desktop machines then being produced in Italy; here's a pen to go with your Olivetti Lettera 32 or Valentine typewriter. (Those appeared in 1961 and 1969, respectively.) In the 1950s Müller had worked at Braun for Dieter Rams, designing kitchen gadgets and neat black electric shavers. His fountain pen shares materials as well as its austere profile with some of those early shavers — which means it also has aspects of every generation of the iPhone, which owes so much to Braun design. It looks like the sort of pen members of Kraftwerk, a few years after it came out, might have slipped in their top pockets before travelling on the Trans-Europe Express.
Mostly, however, the pen seems quite itself: warm, modest, curved and light, stupidly easy to fill with its sturdy piston system. (No, it won't take those overpriced and fiddly plastic ink cartridges. Nor will its wet nib work without a deal of mess on the cheap, horrible paper in your Moleskine. With the money soon — well, eventually — saved on cartridges or disposables, you'll need to stock up on 90g2 paper. At this point, my father would've said something about 'a false economy'.) Apart from a few tiny details — a stronger metal section just below the nib, the subtraction of a 'W.' from 'Germany' underneath the sprung steel clip — the Lamy 2000 has hardly changed in 47 years. That's probably longer than I have left to put mine to good use. Today at least, the Sheaffer is my book-writing pen, the Lamy for everything else — together, they will likely see me out.
Brian Dillon's books include Tormented Hope: Nine Hypochondriac Lives and In the Dark Room. A collection of his essays, Objects in This Mirror, is published by Sternberg Press at the end of November 2013.

A night out with... Nick Hornby 15 November 2013
~ The HH Diary ~
Nick Hornby in Conversation
Last night we went to Rough Trade East, just off Brick Lane, to take part in a conversation with Nick Hornby on the subject of books — those he reads, those he struggles through, those he chooses to fling aside, and even those books he is thankful to never face again. (Yes, we were discussing Thomas Hardy, because who needs that kind of deep, dredging sorrow, those awful scenes in which children hang themselves to save the family from poverty, when you've somehow made it past the age of 30?). Nick's book, Stuff I've Been Reading, is culled from his columns in the Believer magazine, and is mostly about the stuff he's read in the last few years, but it's also about the joys and sorrows of reading, the difficulties and the reasons why we don't read. In Nick's case, reasons to set aside books for a while usually relate to football.
Nick's book is entertaining, fluid and wise. Although he makes fun of stodgy literary fiction, he doesn't shy away from the greats, including Ali Smith. 'I should own up here and tell you that The Accidental is a literary novel,' he writes at one point, 'there's no point in trying to hide this fact. But it's literary not in the hope of getting on to the shortlist of a literary prize (and here in the UK, Smith's been on just about every shortlist there is) but because she can't figure out a different way of getting this particular job done, and the novel's experiments, its shifting point of view and its playfulness with language seem absolutely necessary. I can't think of a single Believer reader who wouldn't like this book. And I know you all.'
Most of the audience at Rough Trade East knew Nick, knew About a Boy, knew High Fidelity, and certainly knew Fever Pitch. Nick often reads in the US, and he told us he inevitably sits down in front of a crowd in Texas, or California, and is confronted by someone wearing an Arsenal shirt. The individual may or may not have read any of his novels; he's just there to talk football. Thankfully, that sort of man was missing from last night's event, though we did tell readers that Nick's love of Arsenal has not waned in recent years. In Stuff I've Been Reading he takes a break from discussing Tomalin and Spark and mentions Thierry Henry: the man both he and his wife wish had fathered their children.
Stuff I've Been Reading is out now.
The Accidental has been out for, like, ages.
Best buy both.

A Table for Atheists 14 November 2013
We are wishing we could have been a fly on the wall for this chance meeting of Religion For Atheists author Alain de Botton and the writer of The God Delusion Richard Dawkins at a festival in Mexico….
Meet the Reader 12 November 2013
#7 in an ongoing series
1. Who are you?
Ah, the tricky question. Are we only defined by the roles we officially hold? Of late, I've been a student reading for my second masters. I also write a column, usually about books and publishing, in a magazine called Kindle that has nothing to do with Amazon. I am twenty something, nearly (but not entirely) CIS-gender female, brown, a book lover, a cat and dog lover, a traveller, a rhyme addict, a terrible cook… and possibly a failure at paraphrasing.
2. Where are you?
In a small and cosy student room at the University of Stirling, Scotland. It's a little away from the city, hilly, picturesque and serene. There's actual scenery outside my window, which – being born and bred in the metropolis – is a concept I was unfamiliar with until now.
3. How do you read Five Dials?
On my computer screen. I'm a typography and page design junkie! A big part of my love for Five Dials stems from how it looks.
4. Who are your favourite writers?
Terry Pratchett, Angela Carter, Oscar Wilde, Jorge Luis Borges, Michael Ondaatje. (Not including those who are primarily poets…)
5. What book most changed your outlook on life?
The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. I often find it difficult to sustain interest in long-running series, but I've stayed with this one and it has taught me to see a world through shifting perspectives, which is perhaps the only way you can perceive it both in close detail and as a whole.
6. What's the soundtrack to your reading life?
The Beatles' discography; dead composers like Beethoven, Bach, Corelli and Wagner; instruments in Indian classical music like the sitar and the sarod.
7. Do you have any favourite bookshops?
Having only recently moved out of India, most of my favourite bookshops are from there. I love Blossom Book House in Bangalore, which is an old three-storey establishment on Church Street that sells both new and second-hand books and has the most unexpectedly rich and eclectic collection. I also enjoy buying from temporary second-hand book stalls on the footpaths of Golpark in Calcutta and at Daryaganj in New Delhi.
8. What quote by an author has stuck in your mind and why?
This concluding stanza from the poem 'Dubious' by Vikram Seth, which seems to cover all there is to say on the subject:
"In the strict ranks
of Gay and Straight
what is my status?
Stray? or Great?"
9. Can you give us a ten-word review of the last book that you read and loved?
I'm choosing a novel called Cobalt Blue, written by Sachin Kundalkar, translated by Jerry Pinto and published recently by Penguin Books India. A ten-word review, hmm:
'In the ocean of dreary writing that passes for love stories, this small novel stands out like an island of light. Poetic without being cloying; insightful and heartbreaking without making one gasp for air.' (ok , that was a little more than ten words…)
10. Which character from a book would you most like to be and why?
It would be a wish fulfillment to be Peter Pan from J.M. Barrie's stories – eternally young and ceaselessly curious. I'd also love to be Fernando Pessoa – not a character from a book per se, but a man who wrote himself into several people.

Jay Griffiths on Russell Brand 12 November 2013
(Following the fierce debate sparked by Russell Brand's interview with Jeremy Paxman, author Jay Griffiths shared her thoughts with us.)
Russell Brand and the Holy Fools by Jay Griffiths
Where is Basil the Blessed when you need him? A great holy fool of Medieval Russia, the barefoot Basil robbed the rich and gave to the poor. A hooligan of his age, he castigated Ivan the Terrible who responded by building a cathedral in his honour, with jester's hat cupolas.
Basil would have appreciated the glinting glee of Russell Brand's protest. Telling his hooligan truths, Russell Brand has an ancient pedigree, the paradoxical 'Wise Fools', seeking the immunity of the jester to speak truth to power, like St Francis, 'God's Jester', who the Church tried to excommunicate. Today, the jester Grillo subverts Italian politics; in Iceland the comedic Jon Gnarr and the Best Party mock mainstream politics and in the States the radical Yes Men impersonate corporate entities to tell the truths of corporate lies. 'Who shall bring redemption but the jesters?' asks the Talmud.
Behind the mask of the jesters and fools is the ancient figure of the Trickster. Even in societies which have temporarily mislaid their Trickster-god, the role persists, often taken by artists, musicians, singers or poets. Trickster and artist alike assume licence to challenge the status quo. One of the most salient features of the trickster is that he forces a change in the narrative when the story has got stuck in a groove, as mainstream politics has done.
Brand himself alluded to the trickster, in his famous interview with Jeremy Paxman, but the status quo, represented by the hapless Paxman, didn't understand the language or more precisely the register in which Brand spoke. Paxman – as Robert Webb and politicians are doing – took Brand literally, seeming to want to challenge the literal details of a revolutionary change in politics rather than realising that Brand was speaking in another – metaphorical – realm entirely. Brand was talking about a revolution in values, in priorities, about a politics of kindness towards the natural world and the human world rather than the politics of cruelty where financial profit is counted above environmental damage or human grief.
Brand was an early and passionate comprehender of the Occupy movement; he could see the tricksterish nature of the protesters. When these Wise Fools camped outside Saint Paul's, to protest against the money-changers of our times, their serious jesting suddenly had another famous role model: Jesus-the-jester subverting authority and committing the hooligan act of overturning the tables of the money-changers in the temple. Brand's messianic branding of himself follows that inheritance, and shares with the Occupy movement a protest of the imagination, a passionate expression of the need for a wiser way of thinking.
Max Weber characterized Western modernity as a 'progressive disenchantment of the world'. If I were asked what is the greatest human gift, I would say it is metaphor. Metaphor enchants and connects; cousin to mimesis and empathy. We are what we think, and in a disenchanted modernity a delinquent materialism is loosed upon the world, where only money matters, and that only for the powerful few: a pattern which the anti-capitalist Brand deplores. Literalism is a totalitarian state of mind which even takes imagination literally.
Brand's role is not to write out the memoranda of a to-do list for the assistant undersecretary of weights and measures after a literal revolution. His role is to speak for the imagination, to curse the misusers of power today, to play the joker card (and he is a card, that Brand), to be the wise fool who speaks the fat and golden truths of the heart, spitting them out if he must, in the face of the status quo. Reversing, overturning, subverting the tables of the money-changers in Parliament. And if society had any sense, there'd be a cathedral to him somewhere, with jester's hats for cupolas. And, no, it doesn't have to be literal: in the imagination of half the nation there is already just such a cathedral to him, because he wears the Jester's hat – with bells on.

A Night out with... Ali Smith 7 November 2013
~ The HH Diary ~
The Goldsmiths Prize for Fiction
Last night we were at the wonderful Goldsmiths University listening to readings from the authors shortlisted for the very first Goldsmiths prize for fiction – one being our very own Ali Smith, for Artful.
We heard: snippets of a Joycean coming of age in rural Ireland; a Liverpool football deal done in incantatory, rhythmic prose; an 18th century English villager contemplating his sex life; a narrator wondering exactly what you do when your dead lover turns up in your living room; an 11th century nun recounting stories of the battle of Hastings; and two philosophers, depressed by a half-hearted student protest, drinking red wine until 8am.
Then there was discussion with the audience and the authors answered questions about their work and the values of this new prize: risk-taking, innovation and novelty in fiction.
It was a buzzing and stimulating evening for this very important prize – and we look forward to the announcement of the winner!——

Uggla finished third in the 2006 National League Rookie of the Year voting, behind teammate and winner Hanley Ramirez, and Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals, but won the Players Choice and Sporting News NL ROY awards. He also had his own fan club at Sun Life Stadium, who called themselves "Uggla's Ugglies." Uggla is the all-time leader in home runs for the Marlins, and is the only second baseman in MLB history to hit at least 30 home runs in four consecutive seasons. He also holds the Atlanta Braves record for longest hitting streak.
Uggla was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of Elizabeth Armistead (née Cooley) and John Carl Uggla. After graduating from Columbia Central High School in Columbia, TN, in 1998, Uggla attended the University of Memphis where after his junior season he was named an All-American by Baseball America, Baseball Weekly, and Collegiate Baseball.

How to save time and money at the post office
The best way is to avoid the post office and print postage at home. Here's how it works.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
You don't have to ask too many of my friends, or my wife, to learn that I am not a fan of waiting. I hate sitting in traffic, especially if it's just "congestion," and I really hate waiting at the post office, where it seems as if there are always twice as many counters as there are people staffing them.
So that's why, over the years, I've developed a few simple strategies to help me avoid waiting at the post office.
The overall strategy is to deconstruct the post office experience and try to avoid needing counter service whenever possible. Here are some tips to help you reduce the time it takes to get your packages on their way.
Buy a scale. Everything starts with the weight of the package or letter. With a scale, you can weigh the package yourself and make some important time vs. money decisions. You also save money when you avoid overpaying for postage.
- For letters, the standard postage is 44 cents for an ounce or less. Bump it up to 61 cents if it's 2 ounces, 78 cents for 3 ounces.
- For packages, review the First Class mail prices, but the all-important tipping point is 13 ounces. If your package is more than 13 ounces, you will be required to go to the post office if you use postage stamps. If you use the U.S. Postal Service's Click-N-Ship, or print postage from an authorized vendor, then you can drop it into a blue bin.
- If you are mailing media (such as books), Media Mail is cheaper than First Class if it's more than 7 to 8 ounces (which books typically are). A media mail package under 1 pound is $2.38. Also, as long as you print the postage online (i.e., don't use postage stamps) you can drop the package in a mailbox and avoid a trip to the post office.
Print postage at home. If you're shipping something by Express Mail, Priority Mail, Global Express Guaranteed, Express Mail International, or Priority Mail International, you can print your postage online at USPS.com's Print Shipping Labels page. You will need to register an account and sign in, but to reward you the system will remember your return address and credit card details (if you want) so you can save time entering that information.
You will save time on any packages you want to mail by Express and Priority Mail because instead of waiting in line at the post office, you can drop them off in a blue USPS mailbox. Your package gets free delivery confirmation.
However, for whatever reason, you can't print First Class or Media Mail postage from USPS but you can print it at PayPal. The only cost other than the postage is 19 cents for delivery confirmation.
Request package pickup. If you are shipping by Express Mail, Priority Mail or International, you can request pickup service from the USPS. The 13-ounce rule applies if you use postage stamps. Otherwise, if you print out an electronic label, the weight limit is 70 pounds.
The carrier will pick up your packages along with your regular mail and the service is free. You can schedule a pickup on demand, where a carrier comes in a specified two-hour timeframe, for $15.30 a trip.
Be selective in your post office. Each ZIP code has its own post office but the busiest ones are those in residential areas. If you know of a commercial area (lots of stores, warehouses, transport facilities), try that ZIP code's post office instead. My experience with this has been very good because stores, warehouses, and transport facilities don't send a lot of mail through the USPS. This theory is further corroborated by the size of post offices in commercial areas; they are typically significantly smaller.
Go during slow periods. A USPS spokesperson told Real Simple that the best time to go to the post office is half an hour after it opens. You avoid the morning rush and hit the morning lull. I try to go at 10:30 a.m. mid-week, just before the people running lunch errands. I avoid the days around major holidays too because that's when the post offices are absolutely packed to the gills.
The next time you go to your post office, ask when the slow periods are. Your post office may not follow the same traffic patterns as the average, so learning specifics from the person behind the counter is crucial.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Orlando, Fla. – The Tulsa women's basketball team dropped a 54-48 decision to UCF on Thursday night at UCF Arena in Orlando, Fla. The Golden Hurricane fell to 9-11 on the season and 4-5 in Conference USA, while the Knights moved to 10-11 overall and 5-4 in the league.
Taleya Mayberry had a team-leading 13 points, followed by Taylor Hooker with seven, and Tiffani Couisnard and Jessica McQuin with six each. Mariah Turner and Kadan Brady both came in off the bench and added five points. Couisnard pulled down double-digit rebounds with 10 and Hooker had eight boards.
The Knights were led by a trio of players in double figures, including 14 by Gevenia Carter, 13 by Kayli Keough and 12 by Aisha Patrick. Patrick also pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds, while Erika Jones had 10.
Tulsa will return to action on Sunday, February 5th against Houston. That game is set for 2:00 pm at the Reynolds Center.

A south Alabama mother and her daughter are under arrest and charged with holding the woman's disabled husband, her daughter's father, as a prisoner in his own home.
Police say what they found inside the Daleville home was hard to imagine. The man was allegedly abused at the hands of the people who should have cared for him the most.
The 52-year-old victim, who is not being identified by name, is said to have been locked in his room for up to a month. Investigators say he was physically unable to leave and was given the meager meal of a single can of ravioli per day.
The man's wife, Stephanie Jeter, and his daughter, Lauren Jeter, are now facing neglect and abuse of a disabled adult charges.
The victim is unable to take care of himself because of a medical condition, authorities say, and his family was not giving him the medication he required. Claims of physical abuse are also being lodged at the women.
Investigators who entered the home found it covered with trash and say there was a large amount of dog feces around the residence. Police called the conditions "horrible" and said no one should be living under those them.
The man's abuse came to the attention of investigators, according to Daleville Police Chief Harvey Mathis, after a concerned citizen called police to ask for a welfare check on the man.
Chief Mathis believes the call probably saved the disabled victim's life.
The victim is now being cared for by the Department of Humane Resources so he can receive the treatment he needs.
In addition to the man's abuse, authorities are also charging the Jeter women with animal cruelty charges after police found a mistreated dog with matted, feces-covered fur and nails that were almost grown to the back of the animal's feet.

Two options are on the table to replace the Belmont Bridge in Charlottesville. One replacement would go over the railroad tracks, while the other would go under. A meeting is now set to review the plans.
It's safe to say whatever the option is, rebuilding the bridge will cause traffic issues, but those at City Hall are asking that they be kept to a minimum.
On Wednesday the public will get to weigh in on the two options. The first would be to rebuild the bridge similar to how it stands now, with wider sidewalks and new bicycle lanes. The other option is to tunnel under the railroad tracks. The city says a tunnel would require less maintenance over the years but would be harder to construct.
"It's hard to rebuild or completely build a bridge and keep traffic flowing. One of the challenges is to maintain traffic over the bridge for as long as possible if not the complete time," said Jim Tolbert, Charlottesville Neighborhood Development Service director.
The plans still need to be refined. The going price tag for the new bridge stands between $14 million and $18 million.
State and federal dollars have been earmarked for the project.
The Belmont Bridge meeting is set for Wednesday February 13 at 6 p.m. at the Central Library on East Market Street. It is free and open to the public.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are languishing at the .500 mark, but they have a chance to make a move in the standings when they kick off a 10-game homestand on Thursday against three teams sitting near the bottom of their respective divisions. First up for the Pirates is a four-game series with the New York Mets, who won two of three at home against Pittsburgh a month ago. The Pirates had their four-game winning streak snapped in a 5-1 defeat at Tampa Bay on Wednesday.Pittsburgh is getting reinforcements back for the series, with ace Gerrit Cole set to start Saturday following a three-week stint on the disabled list and left fielder Starling Marte passing a concussion test Wednesday. The Mets also are getting a key piece back in the lineup with the expected return of leadoff hitter Juan Lagares, who has been sidelined for more than three weeks with a right intercostal strain. New York had its three-game winning streak halted by Oakland on Wednesday.TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), ROOT (Pittsburgh)PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Daisuke Matsuzaka (3-1, 2.68 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Vance Worley (1-0, 1.98)Matsuzaka absorbed his first defeat at Miami last time out despite allowing one run and six hits over 5 1/3 innings in his fifth start of the season. His previous outing lasted only one inning due to illness, but he went six strong innings against Milwaukee on June 10, permitting one run on three hits. Matsuzaka has struggled in his 10 appearances (three starts) away from home, striking out 18 and walking 15 in 21 1/3 innings.Worley pitched seven scoreless innings at Miami on June 15 in his season debut and followed that up with 6 2/3 frames of three-run ball in a 5-3 win at the Chicago Cubs last time out. Worley saw plenty of the Mets from his days in Philadelphia, posting a 3-4 mark and 6.84 ERA in 10 appearances (eight starts). New York's Daniel Murphy has tormented the former Philadelphia pitcher, going 12-for-17 against him.WALK-OFFS1.

Facts About Nuclear Power
A Vital Economic Engine
- PG&E's Diablo Canyon Power Plant is a vital local economic engine and brings significant benefits to San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara counties.
- Diablo Canyon contributed $919.8 million to the region in 2011 (direct, indirect and induced benefits).
- Diablo Canyon helps to make PG&E the largest private employer in the area with more than 1,400 workers and a payroll of $202 million in 2011.
- Diablo Canyon spent $22 million locally in 2011 on goods and services.
- The plant is the largest property taxpayer in San Luis Obispo County - $25 million for the fiscal year 2011/2012 which helps fund schools, pubic work projects, public safety, and health and other vital services.
Nuclear Power Facts
From the Nuclear Energy Institute
- There are 104 commercial nuclear reactors with operating licenses at 64 sites in 31 states.
- There are 439 commercial nuclear reactors in the world, located in 30 countries.
- Nuclear energy provides about 20% of the United States' electricity.
- In 2007, nuclear power generated 806.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in the U.S.
- The average capacity factor for U.S. nuclear power plants has hovered at or near 90% since the start of the decade, while electricity production has risen approximately 16% over the past 10 years. The increase in electricity production—from 673 billion kWh in 1995 to 782 billion kWh in 2005—is roughly equivalent to bringing 14 new 1,000 megawatt (MW) power plants into service.
- Improved operations since 1980—The nuclear industry has managed to increase its average annual capacity factor (from around 56.3% in 1980 to 66% in 1990 and to 91.8% in 2007).
- U.S. state usage—Six states have nuclear as the largest percentage of their electricity: Vermont (73.7%), South Carolina (51.2%), New Hampshire (46%), Illinois (47.8%), New Jersey (49%), and Connecticut (45%).
- World usage—In 2007, approximately 15% of worldwide electricity was generated from nuclear reactors. Countries generating the largest percentage of their electricity from nuclear energy were France, 76.8%; Lithuania, 64.4%; Slovakia 54.3%; Belgium, 54%; Bulgaria, 32.1%; Sweden, 46.1%; Ukraine, 48.1%; Hungary, 36.8%; Slovenia, 41.6%; Switzerland, 40%; South Korea 35.3%; Armenia 43.5%. In total, 16 countries relied on nuclear energy to supply at least one-quarter of their total electricity.
- Nuclear fuel—Nuclear power plants use uranium oxide to generate electricity. Fuel, in the form of small ceramic pellets, is placed inside metal fuel rods. Rods are then grouped into bundles called assemblies. Fission occurs when uranium atoms split, causing a reaction that produces heat energy. This energy is used to boil water into steam, which drives a turbine generator to produce electricity. Every 18 to 24 months, about one-third of the nuclear fuel in a reactor core needs to be unloaded and replaced with fresh fuel.
- Amount of electricity generated by a 1,000-MW reactor at 90% capacity factor in one year: 7.9 billion kWh—enough to supply electricity for 740,000 households.
If generated by other fuel sources, it would require:
- Oil: 13.7 million barrels – 1 barrel yields 576 kWh
- Coal: 3.4 million short tons – 1 ton yields 2,297 kWh
- Natural Gas: 65.8 billion cubic feet – 100 cubic feet yields 12 kWh
(based on average conversion rates from the Energy Information Administration)

Welcome to the Library Resource Guide for LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE IN DIALOGUE WITH FRANCE
Spain and the United States may have vied for economic power in Spanish America but, culturally, France has wielded significant influence. Spanish American writers, like many others, long considered Paris the capital of culture; and the countries of Spanish America, in turn, exerted their magnetism upon adventurers from France. This course explores the relationship between the cultural metropolis and the so-called periphery, and their figurations of each other in literature. It raises questions of intertextuality and, at the same time, asks how similar aesthetic and historical questions are articulated contemporaneously from both sites. Our trajectory begins in the mid-19th century, with French and Spanish American representations of the racial other, and then moves from the aesthetic project of Spanish American modernismo to surrealism and magical realism. Later topics include the mid-20th century idea of the "new" novel; the production and importation of theory; and contemporary women's writing. Throughout, we ask: how are France and Spanish America configured in the cultural imagination of each other? And, what are the ethical and political dimensions of literary influence and appropriation?

Support has poured in for three Gwinnett County sisters planning a last-minute triple wedding. The Swales sisters all happened to be engaged at the same time, and they decided to get married at the same time after getting the heartbreaking news that their mother may only have a few months to live.The sisters say sharing their big day with their mom is their only wish. They have had less than a month to plan the triple wedding, but so far, things are coming together perfectly. Their mother, Becky Swales, has battled breast cancer for the past four years. Now, doctors say her fight is coming to an end. She has been given just months to live, but the sisters say she always has a smile on her face, no matter what. Her daughters will tell you their mother is their best friend, and they have all determined that she's going to be there when the walk down the aisle. The Snellville community is backing them up, rallying around the family to help them pull off the last-minute event. They've already received a number of donations, including their reception venue. The Swales sisters' big day happens on October 26.

Best poem ever.
it was all about this once, Emma Bleker (via stolenwine)
My father's lips touch his beer bottle more than my mother's skin. He spends more time staring at the television than he does looking at her. Most of the time he chooses work over date nights, or relaxing evenings at home. He stopped taking her out for her birthday, and she stopped asking to spend more time with him.
Sometimes when she talks, my father doesn't listen, and she gets no response. When he talks it's usually about work, or how he needs my mom to do something. I don't know what it is, I know they love each other, I guess that's just what happens after being together for more than twenty years.
I just feel like so many couples lose sight of what's important, because they think of how this person has stuck around for so long, what would make them leave now? I just don't want my future marriage to be small talk in the evening. or red roses once a year on Valentine's Day.
I'm afraid of it happening, I am. I just think, the older the love, the more it should be cherished not ignored.

All-rock maple shells in a stunning lacquer finish.
The Dios maple 5-piece shell pack features 100% North American maple shells, which are extremely versatile in any musical setting. The plies of each shell (8 plies for the snare and kick, 6 plies for toms) are cross-laminated in an alternating vertical/horizontal grain pattern. This allows the outer shell to showcase the natural splendor of the wood through a glass-like lacquer finish. The hand-stained inner shell of each drum creates a smooth conduit for vibration and sound to travel through, delivering tone that will ignite an almost emotional response every time it is played.
This ddrum shell pack includes a 22" x 20" kick drum, 10 x 8" and 12" x 9 " rack toms, 16" x 14" floor tom, and a 14" x 6" snare drum.
Accented further with ddrum's Custom Bullet lugs, 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, and die-cast bass drum claws with rubber grommets.
Hardware and cymbals sold separately.
Maple shells decked out in a totally contemporary ddrum design.

Comments about ddrum Dios Maple Player 5-piece Shell Pack:
I'm very happy with my purchase. The combonation 10-12-16" toms are unusual (more common are 10-12-14" or 12-13-16") which makes the kit somewhat unique.
I really like the drum sizes presented. A challenge to find bags (the ddrum bags are all sould out at the moment), but for replacement heads Remo Ambassador X New Fusion Drumhead Pack is perfect. The factory heads on the snare and toms are coated - they may actually be ambassador's since they are made by remo.
Seams perfect. I cannot find a blemish. Construction seams solid. Sounds great.
Obviously you pay a premium for this sort of craftsmenship. It does not come with hardware but it does come with legs for the floor tom, and everything you need to mount the other toms to symbol stands.
