Pax of Ariberto (c.1030): Eagle of St. John
Detail of an enamel eagle, symbol of St. John the Evangelist. Detail of the "Pax of Ariberto," created around 1030 or 1040 and given to the Duomo by Archbishop Ariberto. It consists of two panels - the more elaborate one was used to decorate the box in which the cathedral's Gospel book was kept, while the other covered the Gospel book itself. In the 12th century it became part of a "Pax," a panel with a handle that was presented during the ritual of the kiss of peace.

Button not ready to help Hamilton yet
Jenson Button says he would be willing to help Lewis Hamilton win the world title, although for now he's still focused on his own quest.
Having failed to win since the opening race in Australia and falling further and further off the pace with each passing event, Button is down in seventh place in the Drivers' Championship, 88 points behind Fernando Alonso.
But with nine grands prix and a total of 225 points still to play for, the McLaren driver is adamant he's still in the hunt.
However, should that no longer be the situation, he would be willing to help Hamilton, who is 47 points off the pace, chase down the world title.
"If I am leading a race, then I want to win that race," the 32-year-old told the Daily Telegraph. "That's what drivers do.
"We don't have a No1 and a No2 driver here.
"I will not be asked to do anything but if there comes a time in this Championship when I can't win, then I will obviously help my team-mate."
He added: "But there is a long way to go and a long time before I feel I am in that position.
"I am not thinking about the Championship, because it is a long way away. Fernando will be. He is the only one. The other guys can't, they have to focus on winning races.
"I want to enjoy the races and fight for big points. I'm still a chunk behind the second pack, but you can close that gap up pretty easily."
Button, though, concedes that catching Alonso won't be easy as the Ferrari driver, who is this season's only three-time winner and holds a 40-point lead over Mark Webber, is also the only driver to have scored in every single race and has gone 23 races without a retirement.
"Fernando's lead is massive still. He is 40 points ahead of anyone. Even if he finishes fifth in every race, the guys in front are going to be fighting it out for points.
"Not one person will win the next four races.
"He needs a retirement really, but everyone will be taking points off each other. There are so many people at the front fighting for victories."

TELLURIDE – Just in time for the holidays, locals have another way to divest themselves of vintage clutter and unwanted treasures with Deer, the new home consignment and gift shop started by Judy Haas and Michelle Curry Wright. Visiting Deer, in Haas's former studio front at 225 South Pine St., just north of Smugglers, is like visiting the well-loved home of an old friend who's always had a great eye.
"We saw a gap in Telluride's consignment market," says Haas, of the shop's range of collectibles from Versace china to her own trout paintings to Curry Wright's paintings of birds and insects to fine-arts cards by both women.
New collectibles including German silver "Navajo-like" napkin rings and boxes and beaded Indian quilts coexist peaceably alongside the vintage items.
" Deer is a home consignment business – furniture, antiques, vintage western, silver, jewelry, collectibles, textiles," says Haas. "We will be working collaboratively with the other consignment shops in town to make sure the right things go to the right places. We know there is more than enough to go around."
Curry Wright's elegant matchbook boxes are perfect stocking stuffers, as are Haas's custom rocks. "We decided to combine a conventional gift shop approach to keep things interesting," says Curry Wright. "It's a way for us to sell special things we've come across that we, personally, really like - candles, boxes, ornaments, adornments: whatever we think is unique, interesting and appealing to Telluride customers. This is an aspect of the store that we're looking forward to expanding. And we both like to make things, so we'll get to indulge that passion. People are always looking for little one-of-a-kind things made locally."
Wright brings many years of experience in art and retail as well as a family history of auctions, collecting and love of old things. "We want to have fun with this," says Curry Wright. "That's our goal, even though our friends in retail tell us we're crazy."
Haas, born and raised in Aspen, brings many years of collecting to the new partnership, as well as extensive experience building spec cabins and furnishing them. "The fun really starts with other people, though," she says, "When they start to look around their homes and storage units and bring their overlooked heirlooms and forgotten valuables in to Deer to sell. That starts the clock on a 90-day contract period. If we can't sell it during that time, people can either take their things back, donate them to us, or have us donate them to charity. What makes consignment work, and makes it fun, is that everyone stands to win."
Why the name Deer? It's both women's favorite local denizen, and it symbolizes Colorado, as well – the mountains, beauty and grace, all elements they hope to combine in their store. And, says Curry Wright, "the graphic possibilities are endless!"
Deer is open Tuesday-Saturday, 11-5, with longer hours during the holidays, with free hot tea for all customers.
Deer is at 225 So Pine St., and can be contacted by email, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Charlie Brewer's Slider Heads - Spider
Charlie Brewer's Spider Slider Heads run true and upright for excellent bait presentation, hook sets and reduced line twist. The Spider Slider Heads' unique design also provides excellent holding power, so your soft plastic holds on tighter and lasts longer. Spider Sliders are great for Texas style rigging. 2/0 hooks. 1-3/4'' long.
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SCRAPIRON EXACTLY WHAT I ORDERED WORKS GREAT AND FREE SHIPPING......JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!!!!! November 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Castanet Good Product--Instant Hits IThe product is fine if I could only get the right size. August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ParkerFly Setting the record straight I just want to set the record straight for anyone scared off by Jig4Bass's negative review. I personally fish with these and love them for their intended use. The original slider heads were not designed to be fished on "normal" bass tackle. Lots of people all over the web, make strongly worded arguments against the light wire slider hooks because they "straighten out on big fish." This is an affront to Charlie's legacy. These heads were/are designed to be fished on 4 and 6 lb. monofilament (which stretches) on L action rods, which cushion the light line and light wire hook. The wire is thin to allow hooksets through plastic with those light monofilament lines. Of course these hooks straighten out on a 6'6" M action rod with 8 or 10 lb. test and a 5 lber on the line. The rod, line, knot, hook is a chain. The lightest link will break first. If you were fishing for kingfish with 60 lb. braid, a 3X circle hook, and a M action bass rod, the rod would break because it is not designed to do that. It is the weakest link. The redesigned heavy hook sliders were made to accomodate people who were fishing slider techniques on heavier tackle, but you can see MANY photos on the web of Brewer or Brewer Jr. or Ray Scott with fish way over 5 lbs. caught on the original slider heads, fished properly with L action rods and light line. In fact, Scott held the 4lb. line class record for bass at one time, caught on one of these heads and it weighed over 7 pounds. You're going to lose some fish to line breakage even with proper light slider tackle, but in that case, the line is the weak link, not the hook (or the angler is, you choose), and that's how its designed to be. As Brewer said in his video and book-- "It's sporting tackle, not horsing tackle." I personally enjoy the fun of very light tackle bass fishing, and have caught some big fish doing it. I've also lost some big fish, but that's part of what makes it fun-- its a challenge. P.S. Also, the BPS Crappie Maxx rod in 6'6" L makes a great rod for this technique. August 6, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 Spider head change I have used these for many years but not happy with the recent change in the head weight. The new head design is larger for each size (1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4). The 1/8 is now larger (heavier) than the 3/16 used to be so be very careful how you order. Also less room at the top of the hook to secure the head of a worm or grub. This used to be 5 stars for me.

text: And I have a question for Chris: If you run the lilian through the girth hitch twice (just like you do with the slip noose line to lilian connection knot), do you really need to put a knot in the end of your lilian? I have been doing it that way for some time now, and so far so good as far as slipping and line loss are concerned. Give it a try and see what you think.

Our History
A Commitment to Sustainability
Penn President Amy Gutmann was the first Ivy League President to sign the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).
Over 600 colleges and universities have joined President Gutmann in this commitment, and these institutions are leading the way in addressing the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase research and education at places of higher learning in order to curb the earth's rapidly changing climate. As part of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, in September 2008, Penn's Greenhouse Gas emissions were made publicly available on the ACUPCC website. To learn more about the commitment, visit the ACUPCC website.
About the Green Campus Partnership
The Green Campus Partnership is the umbrella organization that was formed in 2007 to address environmental sustainability planning and policy development at the University of Pennsylvania and to coordinate programs and initiatives for a more sustainable campus.
The Green Campus Partnership includes Facilities and Real Estate Services, Business Services, the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee (ESAC) as well as faculty and student groups, including the Penn Environmental Group (PEG).
President Amy Gutmann's signing of the Presidents' Climate Commitment charged Penn to develop a strategic plan outlining the University's goals for carbon reduction. To carry out this mission the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee (ESAC) was formed. ESAC is a cross-campus collaboration that includes a representative group of faculty, staff, and students who advise the President on environmental sustainability issues. This committee is comprised of six subcommittees: Academics, Physical Environment, Energy and Utilities, Waste Management and Recycling, Transportation, and Communications. These subcommittees developed recommendations for short- and long-term actions to address the Commitment's requirements. These recommendations were reviewed by the members of ESAC and now serve as the backbone of Penn's Climate Action Plan.

The Climate Action Plan
On September 15, 2009, the University unveiled its Climate Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy to address the significant reduction of the campus' greenhouse gas emissions. Fulfilling the Climate Action Plan requires the power of this partnership to build a culture of sustainability and shared responsibility between the institution and the individual to reduce Penn's carbon footprint.
As the Plan is implemented, the Penn community will gain new skills, knowledge, and appreciation for the value of a sustainable campus. Energy will be conserved, recycling expanded, emissions from commuting and air travel reduced, and buildings constructed and rehabilitated using today's best practices in sustainability.
The University of Pennsylvania will foster a culture of environmental engagement, integrating sustainability into its ongoing mission of teaching, research, and service well into the future.

Most buyers buy due to so called easier communication due to the Blackberry Messenger which cost Rs. 300 without internet and Rs. 400 with internet in which the buyer limits his communication profile only to the blackberry users on the other hand an android user may download a popular messenger like "whatsapp" or "yahoo messenger" which could run on a monthly GPRS internet recharge of Rs 98 (2GB upload/download) in which the communication proflie is not only extended to Android user but also the users on PC, apple's iOS, Blackberry, etc. as these apps are availabe for all OSs. Morever the Application database for BB is very limited and most of the Apps are paid. The only reason why BB was so popular amongst the Corporates was because of the secured encrypted E-mail service previously offered BB which also has now been lost due to the govt. The web browsing experience is so much easier in cases of any android phones like Samsung Pop/ galaxy II which have been competitively priced under Rs 10k. So there is really no specific reason to opt for a blackberry apart from the qwerty keypad feature.
I bought 'Blackberry Curve 3G' after due research and comparisons. Though the vendor I chose (Flipkart) was a very good decision, however the phone is not perfect.
I would say I am not disappointed by the phone however for the ones who are reading this review; the decision will hang on the balance between your needs and what is offered.
1. The processor is good. Hence the phone is fast. May have to do with Airtel BB connection I have.
2. QWERTY keypad and the keys are good. The functions on the keys are exhaustive.
3. The Data card is sufficient.
4. I like the interface. Is simple yet efficient. Classy font and aesthetics.
5. The call interface is good. Exhaustive options. Like the ease and quality of conferencing.
6. I love the touchpad feature! It makes the working so much easier and cool
7. Network (Phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) are good.
8. The email functionality and service is very good and extremely user-friendly, convenient and classy.
9. This phone is very addictive!!
10. It has a 'Password Keeper' functionality which is a God sent. Very effective!
11. Blackberry Messenger is obviously very good!!
12. Apps like Google phone app, Facebook and Twitter are very user-friendly, however that will be the case with Android too, so not much of a differentiator.
1. The GPS is disappointing. B Maps never works. Even Google maps (Latitude, Foursquare, Waze and other social GPS apps) are slow. Frustrating
2. Phone becomes slightly slow when you load more than 10 apps.
3. 'AppWorld' has very limited and
4. The camera (2 MP) is barely decent. Even the video quality is disappointing.
5. Though it was expected the music functionality disappoints. Voice quality is good however the hands-free is not music friendly. Only call-friendly!
6. The contacts directory is again exhaustive however there are no customizable options.
7. I didn't find the Word, Excel etc. functionality very comfortable.
Overall, I have given it 4-stars. This functionality suits every requirement for me except the apps part. It is a good classy and addictive phone to have. A very good and welcome change from Nokia N73.
Buy this phone for -
- If you want to stay connected on-the-go
- Like classy attributes and aesthetics
- Not prone to use many apps
- Want to experience a rich and dignified feel
- Obviously, Business oriented
This is great phone and a very different experience after android.
The OS is new and features are great. Though the Data plans appear to be costly but you would not disappoint with the services the mobile gives.
mobile looks and feels great to hold. and good service from flipkart
Positive Things:
1. Excellent speed which never deteriorate over period of time like all other nonBB phones.
2. Querty keypad is built-wise excellent and user friendly compared to all other Querty phones
3. I am serving without BIS BES plan in just Rs99@month with RIM GSM so don't bother that costly BIS is must.Now those days r over. Without BIS BES also u can enjoy all apps like pushmail, gtalk, facebook, youtube,googlemaps and everything
4. Best phone for calls - Features like conferencing, enhancing voice clarity r excellent.
Negative Points :
1. PC software is worst one I have seen in my life. Nokia PC Suite is best one amongst all PC software.
2. 2MP camera is very disappointing. Picture taken r completely useless. Just for shake of saying that have still and video camera.
3. 65k screen resolution makes screen extremely dull, u won't like watching photo or video in it.
4. Very limited app available in market
Conclusion : This phone is excellent for busyness people who want faster processing mobile. But poor for young generation who need mobile for entertainment purpose too.
Completly agree with DV Reviews. Blackberry is very much hyped compared to other phones. Most people purchase it just for show-off and they actually do not use most of its functions optimally.
plastic everywhere not a good build
keys look like they are made out of shitty plastic

Whether it's in the bedroom, the garage, the basement or anywhere that my Park work stand will fit, this lube hasn't dissapointed us in the least!

Brad White its a no-brainer.
What is FVIR?
Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistance is a technology developed for gas-fired water heaters that resists ignition of flammable vapors that may occur outside and in close proximity to a water heater as a result of the mishandling of flammable products.
This ongoing, voluntary industry-approach to developing FVIR technologies calls for manufacturers to invest their own resources in new product designs and the methods to test them. The resulting efforts capitalize on the industry's extensive product and applications expertise.
From Bradford-White website
So, each manufacturer has their own system. From what I can gather its:
Whirlpools/U.S. Craftmaster/State/A.O. Smiths
I read a post that said that if the FVIR activates on them it can destroy (some part?) which must then be installed by qualified technicians only.
I also read that B-W makes a heater that can be reset rather than replacing parts.
Are either of these things true?
I need to know because I need to replace the 40 gal gas in my 2-garage. Its on a pedistal. I also refinish wood on a workbench about 10 feet away. If I spill mineral spirits, stain, acetone, etc on the workbench would it activate the FVIR?
Which water heaters

It will activate the FVIR, if the fumes get to the water heater and ignite inside the combustion chamber. i have not had any one activate their FVIR so far, so I am not sure which ones are repairable and which require a new water heater.
Funny, I have yet to have any FVIR work in my house...don't ask since I wanted to try. I also know many people that have no had issues with the brands above...Key for any unit is keeping it clean...you know like proper maintaince on a car, washer, dish washer, furnace.....
I personally have had GE, AO smith and Rheem. I own two homes and I like AO smith up here in northeast Rheem down south (limited supply I feel).
The only FVIR problem I have personally seen was a customer who had an American with the non resettable FVIR which failed, but not because of a combustion issue. He fixed that with the retrofix kit from American. But I have not had any issue with any of the various brand heaters, i.e., BW, AO Smith, Ruud/Rheem, American, I have installed.
Last edited by hj; 03-21-2010 at 07:53 AM.
Rheem originally stated that if an "event" occurred, meaning the internal mini explosion which shuts the damper, then the WH must be replaced. With their design, this would never happen except when a real flammable vapor event occurred, and that is extremely rare. I am not sure, but I think now after 7 years exerience, they may offer to repair the unit rather than replace.
Rheems and BW's do not have design problems which cause thermocouple failures, failure of pilot to stay lit, etc, which have plaqued AO Smith ( US Craftmaster ,Whirlpool, Kemmore, American, State, et al.)
As far as " If I spill mineral spirits, stain, acetone, etc on the workbench would it activate the FVIR" :
First, you should nevetr be using those materials in the vicinity of a gas burning appliance. The fact thay you and millions of us DO that, is the reason that drove the FVIR legislation. Most organic vapor fumes concentrate at floor level ( heavier than air). Something on your work bench, by the time the fumes wafted down, they may become dilute enough to not ignite.
Mineral spirits and stains are somewhat less volitile, but acetone is very volitile and using that near a gas burning appliance is a bad idea!

Multinational Delegation Looks Behind the Scenes of UC
Professors, directors, and officers of universities of different countries receive an overview of the UC administration while at UCLA.
Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2003
UCLA — An 18-member multinational delegation arrived for a tour of UCLA on Monday, March 10, as part of a project sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. The group was given an introduction to the University of California system, and met with Dr. Victoria Sork, Special Assistant to the Chancellor for Academic Initiatives, and Keith Parker, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Government and Community Relations.
Members of the delegation included professors, directors, and officers who came from universities of Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Thailand, Burma), Central America (Mexico, El Salvador, Jamaica), Eastern Europe (FYRO Macedonia, Slovak Republic), Africa (Senegal, Ethiopia, Liberia, Swaziland, Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Samoa. They were part of the multi-regional project "University Administration," which lasted from February 20 to March 13, and included UCLA as part of the program.
During their tour of UCLA, Dr. Sork briefed members of the delegation on the operations of the UC system. This included an overview of its history, goals, and structure; the challenges facing the UC; and the relationship between the UC and all levels of the California state government. She called attention to the University's work in building ties with community members and organizations and in using volunteers to expand the range of its work.
Dr. Sork spent a good deal of time on the University's financial and political relationship with the elected leaders of the State of California. She noted that while UCLA is nominally a state university, that it receives only 22% of its funding from the state government and relies heavily on fund raising from private sources. She pointed to the negative impact of recently enacted term limits in the State Legislature, which has meant fewer long-term relationships with legislators and a lack of familiarity with UCLA issues.
The "University Administration" project is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.

You Grammar Police are too impatient.
As I continue with a series of columns featuring common mispronunciations and fractured expressions, I've received multiple phone calls from a woman who wants me to point out that it's not pitcher, it's picture. But she never leaves her name and number, so I can't explain to her that I used it already in one of the first columns in this series.
In this case, I guess she got her wish, but I encourage the rest of you to Google my name and Grammar Police or just root through your old newspapers to see which mispronunciations I've run. I have no problem with receiving repeats, which happens all the time, but I don't want you to be disappointed because I didn't use them again.
Before I get to more of your submissions, I need to follow up on a few from last time.
First, regarding "daresn't," a contraction of dare not, dares not or darest not, it's not Pennsylvania Dutch, as the reader who submitted it had suggested. As another reader pointed out in response, it comes from the Black Country area of England, according to the online Dialect Dictionary.
Regarding the question about whether you're IN the choir or ON the choir, a caller to my voice mail reported that she learned 50 years ago in elementary school, "I am not in the choir or on the choir. I am a MEMBER of the choir." That certainly solves the problem, but I'm not sure it answers the question of whether ON and IN is preferable, if we have to choose.
Another reader noted that choirs usually sit in elevated areas, known in the United States as "lofts," so maybe that where "on the choir" originated.
A caller on voice mail pointed out that the lazy T, which a reader commented on in the last of these columns, is not peculiar to young people. She said it's endemic of speakers from the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre area, where she was born and raised — and where Scranton often is pronounced Scran-ehn.
Finally, these columns have triggered several comments about how difficult English is because so many words aren't pronounced as they're written and because so many similarly pronounced words have multiple meanings.
The Morning Call ran a story not long ago that noted the state House majority leader was "unable to martial the votes to send a privatization bill to the State Senate." Martial is the wrong word there — it means inclined or disposed to war, which probably is over the top even for our state legislators — but consider that we also have marshal (an office of any number of different kinds as well as the singular verb that should have been used in that sentence) and marshalled, which is one of the two possible plural spellings of marshal. No wonder people — not to mention computer spell checks — are confused about how to spell it.
There was a similar problem in a recent news story about a Hess's department store reunion: "They filled its isles with the same kind of high fashion …" A bunch of readers jumped on that one, including one who wrote, "Well, maybe the isle of Manhattan," and another who commented, "Was it a water park?" It should have been aisles.
Even American English and British English can be quite different. One reader called to complain that people say "burglarized" instead of "burgled," but "burglarized" actually is the far more common usage in the U.S., whereas they say "burgled" in Great Britain. Both are considered equally correct.
Anyway, let's get to more of your comments about mispronunciations and fractured expressions, mostly in your own words. I've included three consecutive complaints about … me. They're not mispronunciations, but they let you know I'm not only picking on everyone else:
• "I recently heard someone say he had a 'self-defecating' sense of humor."
• "Ba-fore and ba-hind."
• "Why do people always say, 'I fell down?' Is there any other direction to fall?"
• "How about mislabeled items like 'foul pole' and 'foul line,' which actually should be labeled 'fair pole' and fair line?'"
• "it makes me crazy when people say 'spaded' instead of 'spayed!'"
• "I hear a lot of people say 'am-bu-lance (like the name) with the emphasis on 'lance.'"
• "'So fun.' It's either so much fun or such fun. Things like this drive me crazy."
• "You wrote that an article 'talks about, etc.' I believe 'references,' 'describes,' etc., would be proper. Writings do not talk."
• "In high school I was taught that it is correct to say, 'not so … as' rather than 'not as … as' when a negative precedes the comparison. If that rule still holds, then 'This isn't nearly as bad as the woman …' would be 'This isn't nearly so bad as the women …' in your fifth paragraph today."
• "I must bring to your attention to an error in your commentary. I am sure you are aware that 'not only' must be followed by 'but also' [I had a 'not only … but' — no 'also' — sentence in there.]"
I thought the "article talks" thing was kind of picky, but I've come to accept that readers enjoy catching me in errors. In fact, my wife, an English major, has corrected me on "not only … but also," so there's no relief at home. Good thing I have a self-defecating sense of humor.
