Like the rest of the stars, Lowell was given a gift by special guest Muhammad Ali, who took part in the pregame ceremony.
"The Greatest" autographed pictures for both teams.
And while the National League stars didn't put up much of a fight in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the American League, Lowell said Ali still can sting like a bee.
"Sean Casey, the nicest guy in the world, goes up to him, and Ali starts throwing punches," Lowell said.
Even in defeat, Lowell maintains there are no losers at the All-Star Game.
By winning, the American League locked up home-field advantage in the World Series. Lowell favors the format, but recognizes the All-Star Game is an exhibition and celebration of the game.
"I don't mind," Lowell said. "I really don't mind it. I don't think it has a basis on who wins the World Series. If the National League team is playing better, they are going to win the World Series, I don't care. I'm not opposed to it. If the TV people like it, and MLB likes it because it helps out ratings, fine. I'm more excited about the guy winning $1 million than the outcome. Well, I did care because, 'This one counts.' "
Lowell's reference was to Astros' long-time season-ticket holder, Tom Gray, who won Taco Bell's $1 million All-Star Game "Ring The Bell" promotion before the game.
For the first time in franchise history, the Marlins placed four in the All-Star Game. Outfielder Miguel Cabrera went hitless in two at-bats and Carl Pavano pitched two innings, giving up a two-run homer to Boston's David Ortiz in the sixth.
Closer Armando Benitez, who threw three innings in two games last weekend against the Mets, didn't pitch.
"I still had fun," Lowell said. "You can strike out three times in an All-Star Game, and you're not going to see me throw a helmet in this."
The emotional Lowell stopped short of flinging his bat toward the dugout on his fly out to right field. Instead, he mildly flipped the bat.
"That's normal," Lowell said. "That's like being calm. Sure, guys would have liked to win."
Pavano shared Lowell's perspective.
The right-hander was the only National League pitcher to toss two innings. He gave up three hits and struck out one.
Even though Ortiz crushed an 86 mph slider 423 feet on a 2-2 count, Pavano wasn't overly worked up.
"Slider, just right there," Pavano said. "It was down, but it got a lot of plate, and he took advantage of it."
Pavano, who was drafted by the Red Sox, laughed at his lack of success against his former organization. Last June, Pavano was the starter in a forgetful night when Boston rolled to a 25-8 victory at Fenway Park.
Boston scored 14 runs in the first inning, including 10 without an out. Pavano was lifted in that game without recording an out. The flashback of last June had the right-hander poke fun at himself.
"I think he is 2-for-2 off me," Pavano said of Ortiz. "I only faced him twice. Once in that game in Boston, that stellar game, when I got all those outs. And now here. So he basically owns me. I think he hit a double down the right-field line [last year]. But everyone hit a double off me. Afterwards, I was thinking, 'I can't get this guy out. When did I face him? Oh, that explains it.' "
For Cabrera, just mingling with the other stars, and getting the opportunity to play was a highlight.
"It was awesome," said the 21-year-old, who chatted beforehand with his former teammate, Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez. "I got good experience here. I'm happy. The most fun was just being in the game. That's the most for me, just playing in the game."

Just what are you having a problem with?
I keep thinking there is a fairly simple explaination or maybe a drawing that can set me straight on grounding, bonding , and potential. I've read quite a bit on the subject and consider myself of reasonable intelligence. Why can't i get this?? Any help would be appreciated.
Ask a specific question and receive a specific answer.
Grounding is connecting to earth
Bonding is joining together
Potential is capable of
Just what are you having a problem with?
A grounded item something which is somehow connected to the earth gorund, electrically.
A grounding conductor is the wire which connects something to ground. The bare wire in your outlets etc. is a grounding conductor.
Bonding connects two things together. In you main service panel the neutral bus bar is bonded to the ground bus bar. In your house, the metal water pipes are often bonded to the electrical grounding system.
EMF ( electromotive force) is also referred to as a difference in potential between two points . Potential means potential energy. It is energy which has the ability to do work if a means is then provided for current to flow between the two points.
and bonding equalizes the potential between the things being bonded - so you won't get shocked by touching both at once.

Just so everyone's clear: I'm the POODLE in the picture ("french", get it?) The hot woman is my wife.
One thing to confuse things, but interesting, is when working on high voltage things like a regulator, or an rf generating device that is operating at high voltages. They often have the filaments at a potential of say 5-7 volts dc, while the stuff around them is at 5000vdc or higher. If you measured from the filament to ground, you'd get maybe 5005, but if you measured between the two leads, 5 volts. This is where understanding what the reference, or bonded point, can be very interesting and dangerous. Neither side of the filaments in this case are referenced or bonded to ground, but one side of the filaments is bonded to one side of the high voltage supply. They do this so you don't end up with arcing internal to the tube.

Antique Rust Decorative Pot
Want to add a little pizzazz to a plain ceramic or clay pot? Create the perfect rust patina décor for a sophisticated look with your favorite silk or dried flower arrangement without waiting the months and years nature takes. This project will give you that shabby chic look EASILY. And the best thing is, it will work on most any surface.
Designed by Beth Wild
Material List
- Metallic Surfacer Instant Iron
- Metallic Surfacer Instant Rust
- Primer & Clear Sealer
- Decorative vase
- Sponge brush, 1 inch
- Disposable gloves
- Newspaper
Project Instructions
Step: 1
Prime pot with Modern Options Primer & Clear Sealer. You do not need to prime the inside of the pot. Let it dry completely.
Step: 2
Pour Modern Options Instant Iron into disposable plate, pour out only what you think you will need. Using brush, brush on Instant Iron on all exterior surfaces of the pot. Only apply the Instant Rust where you want it.
Step: 3
Don't worry about getting a thick coat the first time. Allow to dry, about an hour, and repeat. Two to three coats is optimal. Allow to completely dry after final coat at least 12 hours. Dispose of plate and brush, the iron in the Instant Iron really shreds brushes.
Step: 4
Pour Modern Options Instant Rust into disposable plate, pour out only what you think you will need. Using brush, brush on Instant Rust on all surfaces covered with Instant Iron. The Instant Rust is very thin and drippy, so this can be messy, be sure to have a thick surface of newspaper or plastic drop cloth under your pot when you do this.
Step: 5
Be sure that all areas covered with Instant Iron are wet with the Instant Rust solution. Don't worry it puddles a little on the base or in crevices, it will just rust more there, just like nature would do. When completely covered let it dry. BE PATIENT, the rust will start to appear within 10 minutes, so wait an hour before you decide to repeat this process for a really rusty look. Once you know you have the look you want, dispose of cup and either clean or dispose of brush.
Step: 6
If you decide to seal your ceramic or clay pot, test the sealer on an inconspicuous area to see if you like the color it might change to. It really is a personal choice.
Step: 7
Once it is completely dry you can fill it with a beautiful dried or silk flower arrangement and set it in its place for a real faux effect, no one will know it is not a collectible find from your last antique scavenge hunt. Can you believe how easy that was? And if your pot wasn't too big you have enough left over to rust something else.
TipsFor best results prime your surfaces, a 10 minute step protects the object and the patina.
Start with a regular coat of patina, be patient and wait for the effect to happen, if after a few hours you want a little more rust, add more solution. The final finish will completely develop over a couple of days.

Dead to Rights: Retribution Trailer Asks 'Splash Damage? What's That?'by Chris Faylor, Dec 07, 2009 3:00pm PST
This post was originally going to be filled with vague references to Santa Buddies: The Legend of Puppy Paws, as the latest trailer for Volatile's Dead to Rights: Retribution features some bloody snippets of the game's playable canine companion.
But then I got to the end, which sees our human hero throw an enemy on the ground and then fire a rocket into his face at point-blank range, and, well, it inspired me.
Dead to Rights: Retribution. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Q1 2010. Woof.

The present thesis argues that according to Augustine's mature Trinitarian understanding of the Holy Spirit, culminating in Book XV of the De Trinitate, the Holy Spirit is characteristically the love within the Godhead and the Gift of God Himself, which is given by His unmerited grace, as He inhabits human hearts in order to enliven love for God and neighbour. Augustine argues that the Holy Spirit, by whose agency the Trinity dwells within and ignites the love of God in human hearts, creates the vital link between grace and love whereby he would argue, against the Pelagians, that humankind is utterly dependent upon God's freely given grace. 2013-12-19T00:00:00Z Contributions of T'oegye's Sacred Learning to Christian Education in the 21st Century Lee, Kun Young http://hdl.handle.net/1807/36348 2013-08-27T16:48:34Z 2013-08-27T00:00:00Z Title: Contributions of T'oegye's Sacred Learning to Christian Education in the 21st Century Authors: Lee, Kun Young Abstract: The purpose of this thesis claims the contribution of T'oegye's Sacred Learning to Christian education in the twenty-first century. I introduce Toegye, a Neo-Confucian philosopher, whose Ten Diagrams on Sacred Learning (Seong-Hak-Ship-To) embodies his life and philosophy. Due to cultural transference, I argue from my own translation of the Chinese original text into English and maintain that Toegye's Ten Diagrams on Sacred Learning depicts Toegye's anthropo-cosmic vision of educational philosophy that may significantly contribute to contemporary Christian education. In particular, I bring Maria Harris's Christian education theory briefly to demonstrate possible ways to strengthen Christian education. On the basis of Toegye's Neo-Confucian philosophy, I prove that his Neo-Confucian philosophy has three dimensions: personal, social, and cosmological. Regarding the personal dimension, I focus on aspects of transformative self-cultivation. In the social dimension, I pay attention to Korean Neo-Confucian reformations of social ethos and values and critique current educational values. I write separately about the Church in order to accentuate Toegye's contribution to Christian education and spiritual formation. In the cosmological dimension, I argue that Neo-Confucian cosmology is important for our present world's harmonious survival. In short, I explore Toegye's philosophical, methodological, and eco-theological contributions to contemporary Christian education and invite dialogue that opens possibilities for further study between Western and Eastern appreciations of wisdom. 2013-08-27T00:00:00Z Theosis: The Telos of Humanity in both Calvin and Palamas? Vander Leek, Lisa Rene http://hdl.handle.net/1807/35534 2013-07-03T05:05:13Z 2013-07-02T00:00:00Z Title: Theosis: The Telos of Humanity in both Calvin and Palamas? Authors: Vander Leek, Lisa Rene Abstract: Up until this point, any rereading of John Calvin through the lens of theosis has not been considered specifically in conversation with the work of St. Gregory Palamas. Therefore this thesis explores the parallels and distinctions in three key areas of Calvin and Palamas in order to examine to what extent it can be argued that there are significant parallels between the theology of John Calvin and St. Gregory Palamas' understanding of theosis. The three areas of focus are: the doctrine of God; theological anthropology; and soteriology. These three categories are useful ones to examine because of their importance in Palamas' characterization of theosis as the telos of human beings. Their application here derives from the current research on Calvin and theosis as well as on Palamas' own writings concerning theosis. The final result deduces that the broad parallels between Palamas and Calvin are enough to consider a type of theosis in the work of Calvin, but this type is radically distinct from the more specific aspects of Palamite theology, including his understanding of the self-communication of God and the incarnation. 2013-07-02T00:00:00Z The Presbyterian Church in Canada's Mission Work for Koreans in Japan 1927-1934: The Beginnig of Partnership Mission Lee, Jin Woo http://hdl.handle.net/1807/35533 2013-07-03T05:05:13Z 2013-07-02T00:00:00Z Title: The Presbyterian Church in Canada's Mission Work for Koreans in Japan 1927-1934: The Beginnig of Partnership Mission Authors: Lee, Jin Woo Abstract: The Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC) began its mission work to Koreans in Japan in 1927, after turning over the Mission in Korea to the United Church in Canada (UCC) through the negotiation triggered by Church Union in 1925. The majority of Koreans in Japan lived in poverty and were discriminated against by the Japanese. The PCC commission saw their hard life and made an agreement with churches in Korea to found a cooperative mission. This was a significant step toward a partnership mission between "older churches" and "younger churches." The PCC's mission work for Koreans in Japan encompassed both evangelism and social action. The missionaries led not only Sunday service and evangelical preaching but also night schools for adults and kindergartens. Korean churches in Japan grew and established an independent denomination in 1934, which was the first step to becoming a strong self-supporting church. The PCC's mission work for Koreans in Japan was a pioneer model of partnership mission with growing "younger churches" in Korea in the 1920s. Further, this mission work demonstrates that after Church Union, the PCC was not unconcerned about social action. Rather, it sustained comprehensive mission work that encompassed both evangelism and social action. 2013-07-02T00:00:00Z

Ten memory boards were given out to Red Cross chapters throughout the state in areas of major disaster including Tuscaloosa, Pleasant Grove and Prattville.
Peggy Mann, the community chapter executive of the Talladega-St. Clair Chapter said she was glad Shoal Creek was not forgotten.
"It was a smaller community, but they're just as important. We did not forget Shoal Creek," Mann said. "As a director, I was appreciative that we were given this board."
The local Shoal Creek fire department recently hosted an event for the community that included a 5K Walk, and an opportunity for residents and survivors to express themselves by writing a message on the "Remembering the Past, Preparing for the Future" board.
"It's just so many different people who came by at the fire station," Mann said. "There were a lot of hugs, a lot of tears. This board was for the people."
The handwritten messages on the board expressed thanks and hope for a brighter future in the form of bible verses, inspirational quotes and personal messages.
"God bless all those we lost and all those who have helped us," signed Carl.
Another message simply cited Jeremiah 29:11.
"God held tight to us through the storm…" read another message.
"Thank you from the bottom of the Smith family's hearts," wrote Joshua Smith. "If it wasn't for y'all, we would have went hungry, Thank You."
"The Shoal Creek Valley was hit all the way up the valley," Mann said. "There were 13 lives lost."
Mann said her Red Cross chapter had a shelter open at Greensport Baptist Church and set up operations for tornado victims.
The shelter was then transformed into an aid station where volunteers handed out food, shovels, rakes and other items, in addition to providing counseling from mental health professionals.
"We were on the ground out there for at least a month and we are still helping," Mann said.
She said that the chapter still provides emotional and mental counseling for tornado survivors, and they still promote "Being Red Cross Ready" which consists of a three-step action plan to know how to be prepared during a disaster.
"Get a kit, make a plan and be informed," Mann said. "We want to thank all of our volunteers who helped us and continue to help us today."
The memory board now has a home in the chapter's Talladega office and will be displayed for the chapter's annual meeting in June.
"We wanted to give back and give an outlet for people to express themselves," Mann said. "The Red Cross is still here and we're still assisting."

Don't do it! – As a 15 year practicing and teaching massage therapist my dear wife gifted me a certificate for a 60-minute massage at the Sanctuary Day Spa.
I made an appointment and went for my massage and I couldn't have been more disappointed. The therapist was young and experienced and had no discernable massage skills. Her work was disjointed and most of all incomplete. Many muscles and mussel groups were ignored or glanced over in a poorly executed attempt at a massage. The real insult came when I wrote a letter to the spa manager to explain my dissatisfaction and asking that my wife be completely refunded on her $ 100 purchase, only to be offered a gift certificate from sanctuary and given explicit instructions on who to book with for my do-over massage. Not only are the therapists at Sanctuary incompetent, the management ignored my request for a refund and offered me something of no value to me, a return visit to an overpriced, poorly managed spa staffed with incompetent therapists.
It doesn't' mater how fancy the décor is or that your located in a mall, it just can't offset the fact that you charge a premium rate yet fail to delivery good comprehensive services to your customers. Couple this with the worst customer service from a management team unwilling to listen and make good on a bad customer experiences and there you have it..The Sanctuary Day Spa. Save you money and book your next massage with a real therapist at a real establishment.
RIDICULOUS – I recieved a gift certificate from the Sanctuary Spa at the Gateway Mall. I work at a hotel downtown so I send them lots of business. I had 2 manicures for myself and a friend which was supposed to be $40 each. I was 10 minutes late so they gave us mini-manicures and still charged me full price when it should have been $20 each. When I was leaving the receptionist lady yelled at me to return to the desk because it was a FAKE certificate!? It was humiliating and I was very insulted. She did not even say sorry when I told her who gave it to me. I will not go back nor will I refer anyone ther. However H20 salon at the Gateway Mall is fantastic. When I asked Santuary there opinion of H20, the girl reponded "they are Asian." Horrible service and racist.

"I gave this to my daughter entering High School as a Freshman as a little back to school gift. I put her name and her school name on it (just the acronym due to lack of space) She loved it! I wish TinyPrints would offer more sitckers that allow this. It was hard to find the right one."
"These are very classic and chic and will look nice on stationery or packages. They are a bit smaller than I expected but the dimensions are given so it was just my perception that was off there. They are nice quality, not too thick, but that's to be expected with the great price."
"These stickers are very beautiful for a little girl. I use them as envelope seals for my daughter's stationery. The design is so pretty and the soft colors are perfect. They are a bit smaller than I thought they'd be but still a good size."
"I love to be creative when wrapping pressents for my kids' friends, so this was a perfect way to have thier picture on thier gift tag. The product is great and would order them again!"
"I combined these with the matching note cards for the perfect gift for my 20-something daughter. She loved the quality and trendy colors and is excited to use them. Just right!!"

Empowering poor rural communities with labor saving technologies for increased labor productivity, food production and income generation
The majority of smallholders in Malawi still practice subsistence farming and rely on antiquated production methods and inappropriate technology. Low productivity and work capacity are exacerbated by the high prevalence of the HIV/AIDS disease and a poor development of micro and small-scale rural enterprises that impairs cognitive development and performance.
The present project aims at contributing to human development in Malawi and addresses labour shortages arising in HIV/AIDS stricken rural communities, especially in household and farming activities. The project will act as a catalyst to facilitate access to labor-saving technologies and practices in targeted areas by promoting an effective participation of the beneficiaries, technical skills upgrading, technology transfer and development of the traditional micro and home-based food processing enterprises for income generation. It will also develop the capacity of local service providers by strengthening the growth of existing artisanal rural enterprises specializing in metalworking and woodworking to produce labour-saving equipment.
The project will introduce and diffuse several low-cost technologies for higher labor and agricultural productivity. A special emphasis will be put on increasing opportunities to help to prolong the active and productive life of people living with HIV/AIDS and to reduce the burden of household tasks on other family members. In addition, the project will contribute to foster extension services with respect to technology diffusion with a gender perspective.
The project is expected to benefit areas where the viability of rural livelihoods is seriously threatened by the shortage of labour and farm power, such as the Salima Agricultural Development Division, a rural region in central Malawi which represents an estimated population of 829,810 or about 165,962 farm families and where HIV/AIDS rate exceeds 18%. Project interventions will concentrate on 17 severely affected rural communes by the HIV/AIDS epidemic as evidenced by the number of female-headed household and orphans.
The project has already trained village improvement committees in income generating activities and helped initialise them. It has demonstrated the use of labour-saving technologies for a long-term increase and diversification of agricultural and non-agricultural income. It has also sponsored the training of orphans in the use of the equipment and facilities improved by the project, giving them opportunities for the future. UNIDO's intervention is accompanied by the training of community development facilitators, to ensure the continuity of long-term services to poor people in Malawi.
The expected number of direct beneficiaries is estimated at 3,200 households for a total population of approximately 19,200 people, including 1287 female-headed households, 1854 male headed-households and 1144 orphans. Activities related to training for community development facilitators, local community technology promoters, self-employment skills for women and rural service providers will benefit approximately 400 people. The technology diffusion aspect of the project will benefit an estimated 5,000 smallholders and 1,250 women.

Goldman Sachs and a culture-killing lesson being ignoredApril 12, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
If a company is going to be great, its values have to go way beyond just a catchy slogan.
By Jack and Suzy Welch, contributors
FORTUNE -- It has been weeks now since Greg Smith's blistering public resignation from Goldman Sachs (GS). But based on Wall Street's reaction -- that Smith was a disgruntled rogue, and that it could have happened to any one of us -- it seems that perhaps the case's most important lesson is being missed. And it happens to be one of the most immutable rules of business.
In fact, soft culture matters as much as hard numbers. And if your company's culture is to mean anything, you have to hang -- publicly -- those in your midst who would destroy it. It's a grim image, we know. But the fact is, creating a healthy, high-integrity organizational culture is not puppies and rainbows. And yet, for some reason, too many leaders think a company's values can be relegated to a five-minute conversation between HR and a new employee. Or they think culture is about picking which words -- do we "honor" our customers or "respect" them? -- to engrave on a plaque in the lobby. What nonsense.
An organization's culture is not about words at all. It's about behavior -- and consequences. It's about every single individual who manages people knowing that his or her key role is that of chief values officer, with Sarbanes-Oxley-like enforcement powers to match. It's about knowing that at every performance review, employees are evaluated for both their numbers and their values, and that only four outcomes exist.
First, for employees with good numbers and good values -- onward and upward. For those with bad numbers and bad values -- you're outta here.
As for employees with good values but mediocre numbers -- the stance should be, we'll give you another chance with more coaching. Your behavior has earned you that.
World's Most Admired Companies
Which leaves the type of employee who most commonly brings companies to their knees: the one with the great numbers and crummy values. The employee who doesn't share ideas with co-workers, who belittles customers behind their backs, who kisses up to the hierarchy but kicks down his own people -- all while bringing in the numbers.
Ninety percent of the time, managers give these people a big fat pass. "I know Jim can be a real jerk," they say, "but I just need him until the economy stabilizes." Or "Sure, Sally's attitude upsets everyone, but I've spoken to her. I think she's going to come around."
Actually, all Jim and Sally are doing is sending a big fat message to every other employee: Our company's values are a joke. And the only antidote is that Jim and Sally need to be sent home, and not with the usual "They want to spend more time with their families" BS out of the lawyers and HR, but with the truth. "Jim and Sally had great numbers," everyone needs to be told, "but they didn't demonstrate the values of this company." We guarantee that such a public "diss play," to put it more politely, will have more impact than a hundred "Our values really, really matter!" speeches by the CEO.
The Smith case occurred on Wall Street, but, to be clear, we're talking about a problem that exists well beyond the canyons of lower Manhattan. "Values drift" is pervasive in companies of every ilk, from sea to shining sea. Employees either don't know their organization's values, or they know that practicing them is optional. Either way the result is vulnerability to attack from inside and out, and rightly so.
Look, it's Management 101 to say that the best competitive weapon a company can possess is a strong culture. But the devil is in the details of execution. And if you don't get it right, it's the devil to pay.

Hang out, Help out, and invite your friends.

Scholarships & Fellowships
Scholarships are primarily for our "starving artist" or "will code for food hacker" friends, and applicants will be expected to both help around the space, and participate actively in at least one project (theirs or someone else's) that is chosen at the time of application.
Fellowships are for people who have a really cool project, that the membership wants to support, and who cannot otherwise afford to be a member and work on their project.

Hilarity abounds when the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up their lives. The action in this rollicking Southern comedy by the authors of Southern Hospitality takes place in SPA-DE-DAH!, the abandoned church-turned-day-spa where this group of friends gathers every Friday afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious; and if they're going to change their lives and achieve their dreams, they have to do it now! But Sugar Lee, their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the women motivated. The comic tension mounts when a sexy ex-boyfriend shows up unexpectedly, a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor, and Sugar Lee's archrival vows she'll stop at nothing to steal the spa away from her. By the time the women rally together to overcome these obstacls and launch their new, improved lives, you've got a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and shout "Hallelujah!"
