Associate Professor of Literature
PhD, Brown University, Comparative Literature
Carolyn Vellenga Berman is an Associate Professor of Literature in the Department of Humanities at the New School for Public Engagement where she teaches courses in the history of the novel, the fairy tale, and British, French, and American literature and culture. She is the author of Creole Crossings: Domestic Fiction and the Reform of Colonial Slavery. Her research concerns 18th and 19th century fiction as well as gender studies, post/colonial studies, and the history of the family. She has written broadly on sentimental novels, Victorian fiction, world literature, the history of psychology, and performance of race and gender.
Her current book project, tentatively entitled "Representing the People: Dickens, Parliament, and the Popular Press," explores the interplay between efforts to depict, solicit, and advocate for "the people" in the Victorian novel and the Victorian parliament, with an emphasis on Charles Dickens and the parliamentary publications of his time.

Creole Crossings: Domestic Fiction and the Reform of Colonial Slavery. (Cornell University Press, 2006) This book provides a critical cultural history of the figure of the Creole woman in nineteenth-century British, French, and American fiction, as well as in anti-slavery discourse of the period. It focuses on domestic novels including Belinda, Indiana, and Jane Eyre, as well as anti-slavery bestsellers like Paul and Virginia and Uncle Tom's Cabin. Illuminating a literary genealogy that crosses political, familial, and linguistic lines, it establishes the crucial importance of the Creole character as a marker of sexual norms and national belonging. In so doing, it shows how the campaign to reform slavery in the colonies converged with literary depictions of family life. "Créoles de l'île de France: L'éducation sentimentale de Paul et Virginie."

text: Clear SMS is a simple application that allows you to delete all your Texts with one tap. When you install Clear SMS, it will add an icon to your SpringBoard. When you tap on the icon you will get a splashscreen while it deletes all your texts. As convenient as a one-touch solution is…I think it might be nice to have a pop-up on this type of application where you can select yes/no just in case you bump the application…you don't want it to accidentally delete all your texts!! So, it might even be an application you hide or put in a category so that it is not right on your SpringBoard where people could select it without knowing what it is or you could accidentally bump it. Clear SMS is avialable through the Planet-iPhones source.

Moving On
LP (Item 491034) Polydor, 1972 — Condition: Used
Bill Cosby introduces this hip little live set from the John Mayall group – which is fitting, as there's definitely a bit of an LA groove on the set! Mayall's still in very bluesy territory, but he also gets some great soul jazz support too – from players who include Charles Owens on flute and soprano sax, Ernie Watts on tenor, and even the great Fred Jackson on baritone! Keef Hartley adds in some mighty heavy drums, but the group's further expanded by even more American players too – including Blue Mitchell on trumpet and Freddie Robinson on guitar – both players who definitely leave their mark on the set. There's some great electric piano too – and titles include the classic "Keep Our Country Green" – plus "Christmas 71", "Things Go Wrong", "Do It", "Moving On", "Red Sky", "Reasons", "High Pressure Living", and "Worried Mind". (Cover has a cut corner and some light wear.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Importance of keeping good health
Health insurance is an important part of maintaining proper standards of health care. Insurance pays for medical expenses and helps to protect people against high or unexpected healthcare expenses. Monthly premiums are paid to the health insurance providers by policy holders in order to receive appropriate coverage. At times when medical assistance is needed, whether surgery, check-ups, vision correction, or even just medications, the insurance helps to defray the actual cost of the product or service. Deductibles are the amounts of money that must be paid by the policy holder before the insurance begins to pay its share.
The importance of keeping good health is highlighted by the need for good health insurance. In fact, the relationship between the two is essential. Good insurance is needed to maintain good health. This means that people can be treated properly and kept in good standing should they have proper insurance to cover their needs. For people who don't have good insurance or outright lack insurance, this suggests that their health condition will be significantly lower. The other side of the relationship is that good health will help obtain good health insurance. Healthier people pay lesser premiums and receive better types of insurance relative to sicklier ones.

Tips for tightening up triceps muscle
In the strength training class I teach for women, it never fails that someone will ask about exercises for the triceps muscle on the back of the upper arm, or as I like to call it "the part that keeps waving even after I stop."
The triceps muscle is used in daily pushing and pulling activities such as vacuuming, weeding, and getting up from a bed or chair. There are several effective exercises that can be done for the triceps area. One of these is a push-up, which also works muscles in the shoulders and back, but not everyone is able to do a push-up. Here are a couple of simple exercises that almost anyone can do.
A triceps kickback can be performed from a standing position or using a bench or coffee table. Hold a weight (it can be a bottle of water or a can of beans) in your right hand. Take a step forward with your left foot and bend forward at the hip, keeping your back straight. Rest your left hand on the top of your left thigh for support. Bend your right arm slightly, so that your elbow is resting right next to your hip. Keeping your elbow next to your hip, slowly straighten your arm, lifting the weight behind you. If using a bench, you will be resting your left hand and left knee on the bench while you do this. Do several slow repetitions until the muscle feels tired. Rest for about 1 minute and do the same number of repetitions again. Then do the same with the other arm. This is a very effective exercise for the triceps; you should feel the muscle contract and pinch.

As you've all noticed, there hasn't been a lot of movement in the Spring RCP codebase lately. But that doesn't mean we've been sitting on our butts (at least I haven't ).
There have been some things we were planning on changing in the current codebase, but the changes were of such magnitude, it would mean we'd have to rethink the entire system. Which I did.
I started with the existing codebase from the ground up (starting point was the ApplicationLauncher), changing the parts I wanted to change for a while now. Things like the Application.getInstance(), the service accessor pattern (ApplicationServices.getInstance()...) and the complexity of the configuration when starting an RCP application. And off course the fact that it had to be Spring 3. Wherever I could, I also adapted some of Bluebell's features, as some of them were quite nice (the OverlayService concept is a nice one).
The result came out quite nice (it only took me about a week) and now most of the core codebase has been ported (except for some non-urgent components, but those will be ported shortly). The simple sample works perfectly. Other samples will follow shortly.
The code is currently under the codename Valkyrie and is found on Gitorious (www.gitorious.org/valkyrie-rcp). Valkyrie is completely operational, but still lacks some critical elements in order to use it in production (unit tests being the most important one, I didn't make time to port those as well). Which brings up the question what to do next... As I see it, we have multiple options: we can port Valkyrie to Spring RCP (in effect, creating a 2.0 version, as this'll break about every RCP code out there) or let Valkyrie live on as a project on it's own (perhaps merging it with Bluebell?). In that case there the second question: what to do with Spring RCP?

'Historic Duxford' is an exciting new exhibition and historic site trail which tells the story of everyday life on the RAF airfield from 1918 to 1961.
Museum staff worked closely with blind and partially sighted people to ensure that they are able to enjoy a visit just as much as their sighted companions. An audio tour specifically designed for people with sight loss provides audio description and guidance.
A vivid picture emerges right at the start with Duxford's veterans talking about the airfield and what it meant to them. 'It was where I met my wife,' says one. 'I joined the RAF, truthfully, because the only alternative was going down a coal mine,' says another.
There are hands-on activities to have a go at and on display are real and replica items to touch. Run your hands over a flying helmet or try on a replica of the jacket worn by Duxford's most famous pilot, Douglas Bader, who lost his legs in a flying accident before the Second World War but became an outstanding fighter pilot during the conflict. Pack a pilot's brain with knowledge to find out what a First World War pilot said about flying, or explore a tactile model of the airfield with audio explaining all about how the site worked.
Complementing the 'Historic Duxford' exhibition is a heritage trail around the historic site itself with eight interactive posts. At each post you can hear an audio description of the location written by Vocaleyes, the leading organisation devoted to audio-description of the arts. You can also listen to audio memories from Duxford veterans as they share fascinating personal stories about what happened to them in those exact locations.
If you would like to find out more about Duxford's eventful past and fascinating people our staff will be pleased to help with your visit. Entry to the 'Historic Duxford' exhibition and trail is included in admission to IWM Duxford and there is no charge for the audio tour. Admission for a blind or partially sighted adult is £14.00 (£12.70 excluding voluntary contribution) and sighted companions are admitted free.
For a full list of admission prices, opening times and any additional information please telephone 01223 835000 or visit our website www.iwm.org.uk

It involves hoding the woman in a hold called a Full Nelson and then proceeding to...you know...pick your path of preference. -"Man,we got into some freaky shit last night!I gave her a full blown Willie Nelson"
1. | Willie Nelson | ||
one of the greatest country singers of our generation. had an unsuccessful start in nashville in the 1960s, writing hits such as "crazy" and "hello walls", but was rejected because music row thought he sang "funny". well he basically said screw you and in 1975 went back home to Texas and recorded one the best albums of all time- Red Headed Stranger- with his 9 piece band. This launched his career and he has been considered an outlaw and legend ever since. Willie Nelson's voice sounds better on cover songs than the original artists.

In another press release today, the North American Division announced that "The Voice of Prophecy Board met Tuesday, April 30 in Simi Valley, Calif., and elected Pastor Shawn Boonstra the new speaker/director of The Voice of Prophecy.
Recently, Pastor Boonstra served as an associate ministerial director at the North American Division. His role in the Ministerial Department was to inspire, train, and equip pastors and churches for evangelism. Prior to this assignment, he served for seven years as the speaker/director of It Is Written, an international Christian television ministry dedicated to sharing insights from God's Word with people around the world.
Shawn Boonstra has also occasionally penned articles for the Adventist Review. In 2011 he wrote the following about the tragic Japan earthquake.
But I am convinced that each successive catastrophe is also a clear message to God's church. They are meant to stir us to action. They ought to remind us that our neighbors can't explain what is happening—and that they are utterly lost without Jesus, hurtling down a path to final destruction.
He asserted that earthquakes were increasing in frequency and magnitude and this was a sign of the times.
The spiritual significance of these larger-than-life disasters—and the accelerating frequency with which they're happening—is eluding most of the human race.... In case you're also struggling with recall, let me give you a head start: Haiti, China, Chile, Indonesia, New Zealand. In reality, there have been more than 30 earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or greater since the beginning of 2010.
In an article on this blog, "Tragedy and Our Moral End," I looked at the US Geological Survey data through 2010 and it showed that earthquakes were not increasing in frequency or magnitude. Since then, the data has continued to undermine Boonstra's point.
In this new job, hopefully Boonstra will avoid this "amazing facts" approach to televangelization. As he steps into H.M.S. Richards shoes perhaps this is an opportunity to keep calm and carry on the legacy of the Biblical prophetic voices of compassion and moral action regarding human suffering.
"The Cross: A Symposium on Atonement" concluded on Sabbath, April 20, with meetings throughout the day at the Loma Linda University Campus Hill Church. The Adventist Theological Society had convened the gathering since Thursday evening, April 18.
Tom Shepherd, an Andrews University seminary professor who is the president of ATS, began the sermon not discussing sin, but suffering. Recalling the fall of 1997, a time of intense suffering for him, he reminded the congregation of the isolation, heaviness, dread, fogginess of mind and endless question "why" that suffering causes. He turned to I Peter 2:21 and developed the theme that Christ died not "with" or "in" but "for" us. In a very close reading of the passage in I Peter, which utilized both his scholarly skills and his experience as one who has suffered, he described several practical and positive things the suffering of Jesus can do "for" those who suffer today. For instance, he extolled following the example of Jesus in suffering with the composure that he manifested because he had handed his life over to God. Yet being able to follow the example of Jesus in this and other regards depends upon having been liberated from the heavy load of sin. This is like having one's wounds healed, like being a lost and lonely lamb that is returned to the closeness of the flock. If in this sermon he ever spoke the words "penal substitutionary atonement," I didn't hear them.
Earlier in the morning, Andrews University seminary professor Jo Ann Davidson spoke on "Abraham, Isaac and Akedah: The Atonement According to Moses." She objected to the view that the first followers of Jesus retrospectively identified in the story of Abraham and Isaac similarities to the life, death and resurrection of their Master. It was precisely the other way around, she contended. According to her proposal, the author of the earlier narrative knowingly and intentionally included many details that would occur again in the story of Jesus. She held that attending to the details of the story of Abraham's willingness to kill his own son, including its shocking and horrible elements, increases our understanding of and appreciation for the atoning sacrifice of Jesus many centuries later.
Ross Winkle, from Pacific Union College, began the afternoon with "The Atonement and the Restrainer." I picture his proposal as having four steps, each with an abundance of scriptural support: (1) Connect the "restrainer" in II Thessalonians 2, whose identity has long perplexed scholars, with Michael in Daniel 10-12; (2) Identify this Michael with the resurrected Jesus and focus on his ongoing intercessory or atoning work; (3) Expand this "High Priestly" ministry of Jesus so that it includes "restraining evil;" (4) Return to II Thessalonians 2 and identify the "restrainer" of the "lawless one" as Jesus Christ (who is also the one who will eventually annihilate him). A fresh identification of the "restrainer," plus a wider understanding of atonement that is expansive enough to include restraining evil, are the outcomes.
Roy E. Gane of the Andrews University seminary followed with a presentation titled "Legal Substitution and Experiential Transformation in the Typology of Leviticus." He contended that in this Old Testament book both things in his title are "clearly present and fully necessary." In addition to many passages in Leviticus, he appealed to portions of the New Testament letter of Hebrews. He held that the ancient symbols and rituals of salvation were objective in the sense that they were done for the people and subjective in the sense that they were to result with positive changes in them. In this way Gane eroded biblical support for both "substitutionary" and "moral influence" atonement theories of our time when either are taken alone.
As the last presentation of the day, Felix Cortez of the University of Montemorelos offered "Without Shedding of Blood There is No Remission: Atonement, Substitution and the Logic of Forgiveness in Hebrews." He focused on Hebrews 9:15–22 and its implications for the understanding of Jesus' death in the rest of the epistle. He argued that, contrary to a majority of biblical translations and commentaries, the author of Hebrews describes Jesus' death as substitutionary punishment. Yet, according to my understanding of Cortez, its inner meaning is not best understood as the transfer of legal retribution from someone who deserves it to someone who doesn't. It is more akin to the commendation or condemnation that an ancient king of Israel received from God on behalf of his subjects. This suggested to me that the metaphors for this kind of substitution should be drawn more from palaces and less from courts.
A panel discussion that included about half of the symposium's presenters brought the two-day event to a close. Its members responded to questions from Tom Shepherd that probed matters such as the biggest issues surrounding atonement among Adventists today, the things that most disturbed the panelists about atonement and the kinds of problems atonement does and does not solve.
One of the most poignant moments of the entire symposium occurred when someone in the audience observed that the primary issues surrounding atonement are not theological but social and political. He explained that formulating more atonement theories is not our greatest need; living more respectfully with each other is.
Recordings of all the symposium's presentations are available at the Adventist Theological Society's website, www.atsjats.org.

In a press release issued on April 29, the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists shared a proposal being weighed about its media production ministries and studio. Chaired by Dan Jackson, president of the NAD, the meeting took place at the Adventist Media Center in Simi Valley, Calif., where Breath of Life Ministries, Faith For Today, It Is Written, Jesus 101 Biblical Institute, La Voz de la Esperanza, and The Voice of Prophecy are currently produced.
This follows on news in April 2012 that these associated TV ministries would offer the NAD proposals for relocating to less expensive production facilities in Southern California. But the 2013 proposal moves all direct NAD media production to church headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. The proposal included the following issues:
1. Allowing the present Media Ministries to relocate. The Division would grant permission for the media ministries to relocate outside the Adventist Media Center, urging them to move with expedience. Further, to whatever degree is appropriate, the Division would assist them in doing so. This transition should not disrupt the delivery of programming and services such as Bible correspondence and study requests.
2. A time period of 12-18 months for the media ministries to carry out the planning, and accomplish relocation. Specifically associated with this proposal is the provision for allowing 12-18 months for each media ministry in which to wind down activity at the Media Center location. Efforts will be made to minimize the impact on employees who will be affected by and during the transition and relocation period.
3. Sell the property housing the current Adventist Media Center. Concurrent with this move, the Division would begin moving toward an attempt to sell the Adventist Media Center property in a commercially viable fashion.
4. Utilize the studio facilities at the Division offices for production. While the creation of equivalent facilities to those at the Media Center in California is not anticipated, it is the intent of the Division to create in the facilities occupied by the Division (in Silver Spring, Md.) studio facilities adequate to meet the needs required by the Division that lie outside the specific needs of the various media ministries.
5. Ongoing commitment to providing funding for the media ministries. As a part of this process, and in clear understanding that the media ministries are part of the NAD ministry effort, funding levels from the Division would be identified for each of the media ministries in order to allow them to fulfill their mission.
6. Commitment to explore new possibilities for media development. The Division anticipates a significant role for the media ministries in the future of media in North America; beyond the role they currently play.
The North American Division Committee will receive the recommended proposal from the AMC Board.
On April 27, 2013, Cherise Gardner was ordained to Adventist ministry at the Glendale City Seventh-day Adventists Church.
Cherise Gardner, a native of the Bahamas, has been serving in some aspect of ministry since the age of five, when she decided to become a minister, like her grandfather.
Cherise earned an B.A. in Religion and a B.S. in Business Administration from Northern Caribbean University, before serving as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve. Before coming to Glendale, Calif., where she serves as Pastor for Children and Family Ministry, Cherise earned a M.A.* in Religion with an emphasis in Christian Social Ethics, from La Sierra University, Riverside, Calif.
She is the wife and best friend of Hugh Gardner.
The following photographs were taken by Gerry Chudleigh, publisher of the Pacific Union Recorder.

Title: | Head Coach |
Phone: | 893-3690 |
Email: | email@example.com |
Experience: | Second Season |
Andrew Checketts was named UC Santa Barbara's head coach on June 22, 2011, becoming the ninth head coach in the program's history. In addition to his head coaching duties, Checketts also serves as the Gauchos' pitching coach.
In his first year as head coach of the Gauchos, Andrew Checketts made a significant and positive impact on the program. With a 28-28 record, Checketts set a school record for the most wins by a first year coach. His first win came in dramatic fashion, as the Gauchos needed 12 innings to top Oregon St. 13-12 in the nightcap of a Feb. 18 doubleheader. Checketts oversaw two pitchers in Matt Vedo and Andrew Vazquez who together had the most strikeouts in school history. Checketts led the staff to a school record for strikeouts in a season with 451.
Andrew's success has continued in the offseason, as his 2012 recruiting class was ranked No. 12 in the country by Baseball America and No. 18 in the nation by Perfect Game. Both rankings are the highest in school history. The Gauchos were able to bring aboard 25 recruits, 19 of which are freshman and six that transferred from junior colleges. These new recruits join the returners to give a solid roster for 2013.
Prior to the 2013 season, Checketts made appearances on Baseball America's "Top 10 Head Coaches Under 40" and Perfect Game's "Rising Head Coaches" lists.
Prior to his hiring at UCSB, he had spent the past three seasons
as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University
of Oregon and was regarded as one of the best pitching coaches not
only on the West Coast, but also the nation.
Known as a diligent worker with an attention for detail,
Checketts' staff routinely recorded one of the best earned run
averages in the nation. In 2010, Oregon's 3.29 ERA ranked third in
the nation and second in the Pac-10. In 2011, Oregon's pitching
staff ranked in the top-25 for the second straight year as the mark
of 2.99 rated 18th in the country. The Ducks also ranked in the
top-15 for two additional categories as UO's 8.2 strikeouts per
game ranked 10th in the country, and the Ducks' 7.74 hits allowed
per nine innings ranked 11th.
In his coaching career at UC Riverside, Oregon, and UCSB,
Checketts has had 41 players drafted or sign pro contracts,
including Tyler Anderson, who was drafted 20th overall by the
Colorado Rockies in the 2011 Major League Baseball First Year
Player Draft. In total, Checketts has coached 12 pitchers drafted
in the top 10 rounds since 2001.
Checketts also played a large role in the recruiting scene for
Oregon. For three consecutive years (2008-2010) UO's recruiting
classes have earned top-25 accolades. Most recently, the 2010
freshman class was ranked fifth in the nation by Baseball America's
annual evaluation, and third in the nation by Collegiate
Prior to joining Oregon's staff, Checketts was on the UC Riverside
staff for seven years. In 2007, UC Riverside was the Big West
Champion and was ranked as high as 13th in the country during the
season. It marked the first time in 20 years that a Division I
program in the UC system won its outright conference
Upon his arrival at UC Riverside he made an immediate impact as
the staff ERA improved by almost three runs and the team broke the
school record for strikeouts in his first year. During his first
three seasons at UCR, the team ERA improved every year. Checketts
also played a key role in recruiting for the Highlanders. UCR's
2007 class received national recognition with a top-25 ranking from
Baseball America. In his final season, UCR's pitching staff ranked
among the nation's best in ERA (3.68) and strikeouts per game
Checketts began his coaching career at Riverside Community
College, where he served as pitching coach and helped the team to
their second consecutive California State Championship in 2001.
While he was at RCC, the pitching staff set the school record for
Checketts played one season at Florida and three at Oregon State.
As a senior in 1998, he posted an 11-1 record and 3.77 ERA in 13
starts, striking out 73 batters in 86 innings, earning Pac-10 North
Player of the Year, Collegiate Baseball Magazine Second Team
All-American, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association
Second Team All-American and All-West Region Second Team honors. He
was also named Pac-10 North All-Conference in 1997 and 1998,
finishing his collegiate career with a 30-12 record. Checketts
graduated from Oregon State with a degree in Business
Administration, Finance. He was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in
the 21st round of the 1998 MLB draft.
Checketts graduated from West Linn High School in 1994, and that
season was named the Oregon High School State Player of the
He and his wife Michelle have a daughter, 3-year-old Amelia Anne,
and a 1-year-old son, William.

McCaffery: Turnovers forcing Eagles to make tough decision about quarterback (With Video)
PITTSBURGH --- There is a faint border between concern and crisis, and in most instances, it's difficult to draw. A football season is not one of those instances.
In a football season, something --- a turnover-prone quarterback, just for illustrative value --- can be a mere concern as long as the game scores and team record are not staggered in the process. In a football season, something --- a turnover-prone quarterback, just for illustrative value --- can be seen as anything from amusing to heroic, just as long as the scoreboard can provide relief.
Sunday in Heinz Field, the Eagles had the usual --- a turnover-prone quarterback --- and lost, 16-14, to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They lost, even though Michael Vick overcame two lost first-half fumbles to do what he'd already done three times this season, which is concoct a resuscitating fourth-quarter scoring drive. So as the Eagles dipped just a touch above the .500 record that their owner indicated would cost their coach employment, Vick's inability to protect the ball has grown from interesting to era-threatening.
In a one-possession game Sunday, Vick lost one first-quarter fumble inside the Pittsburgh three, and another at the Birds' 26. He also fumbled in the third quarter, though teammate Danny Watkins recovered. That gave him 11 turnovers in five games, six by interception, five by gravity --- not including another three fumbles the Birds have recovered.
Earlier, it was quaint.
"It was just one of those days," Vick said. "Everything happens for a reason. It was meant to be to fumble the ball on the goal line. I have no explanation for it."
The everything-for-a-reason rationalization method can be useful. But it can be illuminating, too --- lighting the way for a alternative considerations. There has to be an in-season point where Vick's errors generate thoughts and debates of a quarterback change. For even an NFL season is too short for on-the-fly recognition of a problem. The Eagles' season is just under one-third over already, Andy Reid is covered by a succeed-or-else cloud, and the sport does not allow for the chronic surrendering of the ball.
"It's not just the final drive," said Cullen Jenkins, careful to use the first-person plural, and thus not necessarily targeting blame. "It shouldn't even have been that close. We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot when we have opportunities. We're not playing complete games. We're just waiting to the end and trying to pull it out. We're not putting ourselves in the best situation. We have to take advantage of every opportunity that we have throughout the game." Continued...
Since the Eagles are still OK at 3-2, and since their most appealing option is a rookie, and since Vick was advertised by the franchise as a $100,000,000 value, the new-quarterback decision will emerge only at delay-of-game speed. As is his policy, Reid Sunday refused to publicly scold any of his players and particularly not his quarterback. But Vick is on a pace to commit about 35 turnovers in 16 games, and soon it is going to have to be asked: Might the Birds be better with a quarterback at a 34-turnover rate?
"The turnovers early hurt us," Reid allowed. "You can't do that in a good place in a stadium on the road against a good football team. You just can't do it."
The Eagles have been nothing this season if not entertaining, with four of their five games decided by either one or two points. But if that's where they are as a program --- good enough to win, but not good enough to win by much --- they cannot afford to spill chances.
"We had opportunities and we didn't convert them." Jeremy Maclin said. "What you want to do in this league is to be in a position to win at the end. And we were. They just made more plays."
The Steelers made enough plays to win late because the Eagles wasted too many of them early.
And it's crisis now, nothing less.

Log Splitter Super Store Continues to Add Products for Firewood Processing Needs
Central Point, Oregon (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
WoodSplittersDirect.com continues expanding its online superstore offering with the addition of 4 way wedges to Swisher 28 and 34 ton log splitters.
Swisher product have been around for 60 years and have a strong track record for selling quality power equipment such as log splitters.
"These 4 way wedges are a great addition to the Swisher 28 and 34 ton log splitters. If you think about it, with a 4 way wedge you can split one piece into 4 pieces with one split rather then splitting with a regular single wedge that would take 3 splits to get those 4 pieces. This would increase your production by 66%," said Michael Hirsch, log splitter expert at WoodSplittersDirect.com.
With the addition of the 4 way wedges, Wood Splitters Direct now offers a very cost effective, high production solution for firewood needs.
Wood Splitters Direct features a selection of more than 80 log splitters, in addition to a website packed with product education, testimonials, reviews and best-seller rankings. The online superstore excels by employing knowledgeable sales associates, capable of providing solid consumer solutions.
Wood Splitters Direct is an online resource that provides high-quality log splitters and accessories through a direct-delivery business model. With a goal to offer the best log splitters at competitive prices.

It was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architected personal publishing system. While primarily geared towards functioning as a Weblog, WordPress is also a flexible CMS capable of managing many types of Web sites. In addition to the basic blog functions, it also has an integrated link manager, categories, tags, custom taxonomies, file attachments, XFN support, support for stand-alone pages, Atom and RSS feeds for both content and comments, blogging API support (Atom Publishing Protocol, Blogger, MetaWeblog, and Movable Type APIs), spam blocking features, advanced cruft-free URL generation, a flexible theme system, and an advanced plugin API.

It features automatic leak detection, powerful tools for the analysis of memory distribution, an object heap browser, comprehensive memory tests as part of your JUnit testing process, extremely low profiling overhead, transparent deobfuscation support, and integration with Eclipse, JBuilder, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, and JDeveloper IDEs.
GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote computers. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. If you use xargs today you will find GNU parallel very easy to use, as GNU parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU parallel will often make the command easier to read. GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs.
The GNU Gatekeeper is a free H.323 gatekeeper based on the OpenH323 project. You can use it to manage a Voice-over-IP network and let endpoints (e.g., Netmeeting) communicate through symbolic names.

GNU xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660 filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. Files can be copied in and out. The session results get written to optical media or to filesystem objects. Rather than needing external tools for ISO 9660 production and CD/DVD/BD burning, it is a static compilation of libburnia-project.org. Thus GNU xorriso depends only on fundamental operating system facilities.

Dale Vince AKA Zerocarbonista.com said this: "It's clearly designed by a designer not a wind engineer- I think that's the form over function thing. But with regards vertical versus horizontal windmills, there are some facts missing here. The blades on HAWTS are more efficient than VAWTs that's true – typical figures are 30% versus 15%. But HAWTs have had more development time. VAWTs are emerging now with 25%+ efficient blades, the gap is narrowing. And you don't need much height in a domestic situation, just above the roof – this supposed benefit of HAWTs is not. And last, don't underestimate the negative effect on HAWTs of the fickle wind direction in urban locations – it kills them. In fact that downside of HAWTs outweighs their blade efficiency advantage, by a long way. The future for domestic or urban wind is VAWT. I don't think it's this VAWT here though, not to look at it any way. Cheers."
July 14, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Another Starck fantasy, in areas with strong wind there is a benefit, in areas without, very little. Areas considered to be a good location for wind turbines are limited. (Outside san francisco is already a large group and a company wanted to place them off Martha's Vineyard)That said,this has to be one of the least efficient shapes for this purpose I have ever seen.(for example, see lemon juicer)
July 14, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I live near the National Renewable Energy Lab in Colo. Armed with a pix of the Starke turbine, I talked to the wind researchers about it. We are located near the mountains and in an urban area with trees. In order to be even mildly effective, the turbine, in our area, would have to clear all trees and buildings by about 30 feet — i.e 100 feet up. And yes it would need an inverter to tie into the grid, or a bunch of betteries. We'd be lucky to pull 100kwh per month — a $10.00 benefit. Lots of years to pay it off. These vertical turbines are quite a bit less effective than the ones that look like propellers, which are the ones everyone is testing. From here, city wind is too fragmented by structures and trees to have enough power to justify the investment. In other words, this is a kinetic sculpture, not a real energy provider. Too bad!
July 9, 2008 at 10:53 am
It looks as if he put more thought into the displays for his "democratic energy" than he did for the actual turbine.
July 8, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I dont know about you guys, but I did see it on the six o\'clock news today! Wind energy is the investment of the future. T. Boone Pickens talked about it tonight. In answer to drhall, I know of at least one company combining those technologies, but they are trying to keep a low profile untill they have enough product to sell. The technonoly is out there, you just have to do a little digging. For esthetic and cost purposes, combining multiple units make more sense than a single giant turbine. No one wants a twenty foot turbine in their yard. if you are truly going green, you dont want to do it for yourself. You want as many people to go green as possible in order to have the largest possible impact on the environment. If anyone knows how to get a hold of these turbines, or just how to get more info on them, please let me know!
July 8, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Great site … and everybody's starck comments are just about spot on!
1.) Plastic will have to be very much not polycarb, however, there are
very inexpensive turbine blades using composite technology;
2.) Starck is a master marketing guru and for him to be on board is not
at all bad – with the caveat that he actually produce a working unit,
for a price somewhere under thousand US dollars;
3.)Produce much power? Absolutely – again, start turning off those damn
heaters we call lights (90percent heat, 10percent light), turn off all the
little demon power monsters that consume a good ten to twenty percent
of modern electric only households (two kids, dogs, etc.) AND with a
single wave of the hand, easily hook up ten of these gadgets to a single
input/pure sine – down lines protection and viola!
4.) More forward thinking people will come forward and perfect the imperfections
in this scenario, like using inexpensive multiple units (WHERE there is
enough WIND), manufacturing these things so inexpensively you can
afford multiple units;
5.) Suddenly, the exponential rules kick in – it works, it works better after tweaking,
it's a damn good idea! and more people join in the fun. Don't forget, there is
a thing called marriage of technologies, and the photovoltaic panel can shine
even on cloudy days (new tech) so the few hundred watts of wind PLUS the
very steady few hundred watts of sun, the solar heated/assisted hot water,
the backyard garden, the 45mph EV in the garage and the Victory Garden
(for those of us who remember saving buttons and buying those bonds during WWII)
suddenly America can be great again. Really. Forget the oil and the traffic jams
and the hundred mile hour jet around the city! Slow down, grow some green kahoutis! -
July 8, 2008 at 10:18 am
Unlimited household energy for about 5k investment? Right, this has got to be a hoax, why did i not see it on the 6 o'clock news?
July 6, 2008 at 7:40 pm
This guy's Having-A-Laugh! But then, I suppose there will be those that will fall for it! There may be many roads to the future' but this is not one of them! Least way's not to a greener future. Maybe a future for Starky with the potential bucks it could bring in from suckers who fall for the hype. This sort of foolish trickery should be legislated against!
July 6, 2008 at 4:17 am
Ain't spin grand?
Without that name attached I doubt it would have rated a column inch anywhere, nor indeed would we be commenting.
But it does present an interesting, if rather worrying, insight in what that is 'green' gets done, and covered, that may or may not be actually worth a damn.
I have to say that my initial reaction to his 'conversion' was 'well, at least the profile of trying is worthy and if style will make 'em try, why not?', but then I looked at the thing, and the claims made for it, and started to wonder about the substance. And enviROI.
July 5, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Philippe Stark, huh? Has anybody really tested this thing to make sure it works, or is it going to be some BS wind ornament.
I have a feeling his "heartfelt" speech was very fashionable, marketable, and brand-right, indeed.
July 5, 2008 at 9:16 am
Philippe's Stark's designs have always provoked a mixture of contradictory feelings within me. He likes to play with any concept and turn it into a quirky visual joke. That can become tedious and irritating when. like me, you are more drawn to the purist Bauhaus concept of form following function. This time though, I see no reason to criticise the form of his wind turbine on aesthetic grounds. If Philippe S can turn a future necessity into a trendy and affordable must-have, and make us feel much better about relying on renewable energy, then I really don't care how much money he makes out of it. I am concerned about whether the product will work – so if there are any wind specialists out there who can conclusively test and demonstrate the longevity and effectiveness of this design, and give it a quality mark, I would happily buy it.
July 4, 2008 at 4:04 am
Looks like an other excellent example of eco-trash! The old master is still at it. The turbine is going to be exposed to lots of uv, humidity and severe wind loading vibrations. Any half decent engineer knows that unreinforced plastic (probably going to be polycarbonate with an acrylic coating) under these superb fatigue conditions is asking for problems. So its going to be just another totally nonsensical and wasteful product, nothing has realy changed.
July 3, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Have a more fundamental problem with this…aerodynamically, it would seem that the design is stable, ie it would NOT turn at all because of the opposed blades. And what's with the little orifices? Would that not cause turbulence which is the major enemy of efficiency?
Unless this thing is 30′ or so, it could not produce that type of electricity
July 3, 2008 at 2:18 pm
There is still the inverter needed to attach this generator to the grid. In the US these items are normally about $2k. Then there is the rate that your utility company will pay you for the power you contribute, sometimes it\'s only a fraction of what you pay for electricity from the grid.
It\'s a bit of an incomplete solution.
July 3, 2008 at 9:53 am
I call Shenanigans.
There is no way that that thing generates that much energy. This is just some bullshit designer throwing out sensational numbers.
Realistically, the generator and battery system needed to actually use a windmill costs more than 700$. And seriously, if he developed this product WITH a windmill company, they would be selling this design too…which theyre not.
Some of these "industrial designers" know absolutely nothing about physics or mechanics, and this is a great example. Go back to your retirement, you made another useless product.
July 2, 2008 at 9:58 pm
[...] the spirit of not doing anything useless again, Starck's latest creation is a windmill called Democratic Ecology that was presented at Milan's Greenergy Design. It can generate 20 to 60% of the energy [...]
July 2, 2008 at 6:50 pm
before you bash starck, take a look at his heartfelt TED talk at http://www.ted.com. i applaud him for at least trying to solve the problem that he had a hand in creating.
July 2, 2008 at 5:37 pm
If your power company allows you to feed back into the national grib (like that recently started here in nz) then you have no need for batteries only rev-connect to the grid i believe is under $1000nzd… i am eagerly awaiting for these to be in full production!!
July 2, 2008 at 4:38 pm
So here goes Starck, now that he\'s made a fortune on status driven crap, changes course and stands to make a new fortune on \"green\" driven crap. He\'s basically traded one trendy cash cow for another and is sure to be praised for all of his \"hard work\" to help humanity. The man is brilliant.
July 2, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Note that the price tag is only for the turbine itself, not for any of the infrastructure that you need to run a DC -> AC system. (Batteries, inverters, etc.)
That's the really expensive part of a residential wind-power installation. The turbines are relatively cheap. -
July 2, 2008 at 11:55 am
Does anyone have any wattage numbers on this thing? I keep hearing the price tag and the 20-60% number getting tossed around, and no one makes any mention that such a product appears to be ludicrously cheap. I\'m guessing that this product is being marketed a bit aggressively – I would be floored if a decent-sized house could have 100% of its power supplied by five of these things with a grand total of a $3,100 price tag. That\'s like a 2-3 year payback!
I also assume that the original press release is extremely skimpy on details, which would make me think that the numbers they are leaving out are nothing they want to advertise. Any real information out there? Help me out.
July 2, 2008 at 11:32 am
I don't understand this man… Very good speaker (except in english, like me), but this products are often not interrest…
Have you see the new project of Starck : the Starck Academy on BBC… xD >> http://avidedesigner.com/?p=604

Could Cliff Lee change dugouts tonight?
If this is true, this means one thing: The Yankees do not feel that Jesus Montero is or will be able to play catcher at the Major League level. I know his bat is "special," but in a lineup as potent as the Yankees, coupled with their ability to pay for premium talent, finding a guy that can hit 30/100 for you is not that difficult. Christ, I think Carlos Delgado could put up those numbers sandwiched between guys like Alex Rodriguez/Mark Teixeira/Robinson Cano. Truth be told, that lineup took Nick Swish off the junk pile and made him an All-Star (which is now official).
The other question that arises is who gets bumped from a rotation in which 3 of the 5 pitchers are going to Anaheim next week? Buster Olney says that Javier Vasquez could be on the move to the Phillies for Jayson Werth if the Lee trade goes down.
OK - so then where does Jayson Werth play? This is making my head hurt...
9 comments:
Because of the fickle nature of relievers, I am all for adding arms. He's striking out better than 10 per nine, and he's a closer on a team that sucks. If you can get him for a bs prospect, why not right? Joba is and will be the 8th inning guy. So you are looking for guys with out pitches to help form that mythical "Bridge to Mariano"
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to start calling it the "Bridge to Valhalla."
yeah, if the Yanks can get him for nothing, I guess that's fine; but again, his HR/9 is a bit high, right? and the walks, when added to the hits per IP... sounds like a lot of base runners... and he's in the NL... surely the Pirates can catch, right? and Jonathan Albaledejo has pitched well at AAA, so I'd like to see him get a chance. also, i like singing, "Alba-le-dejo!" to the tune of the "banana song" [get your beetlejuice on!) but yeah, if the yanks can get Dotel for a minimum prospect, its worth a shot
~jamieThe fact that Albaladejo is still in AAA is baffling. Have you seen his numbers? RAB pointed out that he has changed his apprach, and it is working. Apparently he gave up on the "have a good spring training, and crap the bed when the season starts" mantra that served him so well for 2 years.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJuly 9, 2010 at 11:52 AM
If the Yanks complete this trade it won't be because they don't see Montero being an everyday catcher, this club has been dealing with the worst defensive catcher in baseball for the last 10 yrs in Posada...they are doing it to upgrade their rotation because they traded for a chump name Javier Vasquez! Werth would at least net the Yanks draft picks when they let him walk in the off-season and CC, LEE, Burnett, Hughes and name your 5th starter will be great next year if Petite walks next year. Both deals make sense and on a side...Joel Sherman is actually pretty good and at his job and doesn't suggest ridiculous things like signing Nick Johnson who is a waste of space.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJuly 9, 2010 at 11:54 AM
Albaladejo is in AAA cause his stints on the big league have been terrible over the last 2 yrs. He is a AAAA pitcher who hasn't made an impact on the MLB level. The Yanks should see what other arms are there to give shots to before going to retreads.

"the worst defensive catcher in baseball for the last 10 yrs in Posada"
Pretty sure it's been longer than 10 years and pretty sure he's not the worst defensive catcher in the league. I'd like to see him block the plate more and frame a pitch for once in his career, but he's a decent catcher - as we know, he makes the money with the bat
"because they traded for a chump name Javier Vasquez!"
take a look at Javier Vasquez's game log http://yankees.mlb.com/stats/individual_player_gamebygamelog.jsp?c_id=nyy&playerID=134320&statType=2
he's turned in quite a few good starts since April and somehow lowered his ERA under 5 after a disastrous April. and his April wasn't as bad as Burnett's June... anyway, Javy's no All Star, but I don't think I'd call him a chump.
I think you can make the argument that Nick Johnson is a waste of money with all the time he spends on the DL, but even when he wasn't hitting, his OBP was impressive, and thats what the Yankees brought him here to do, so I didn't consider the acquisition a failure when he was still in the lineup. now that he's suffered a setback, its not looking so good, but frankly, just about everybody in the Yankee Blog Universe wanted the yankees to sign Nick Johnson.
Anonymous #2
given in the instability of the bullpen, I think anybody at AAA with good numbers deserves a shot; we've seen about everybody else, right? Nova, Melancon (was he over hyped or what?)... who else has had a cup of coffee and went right back down?

From the park (was about 8 months old ish) and its been drama since. This thing has found his way INSIDE the house via crawlspace multiple times. Way too skittish to handle and he's a rough player with the resident feline. What I want to do is to catch the little bugger (he's fast as the wind) in order to take him to go get fixed. Vet gave me something to knock him out - forget it he slowed down just a little but still not catch-able.
Forget a trap - tried multiple times.
Ideas? He's bonded to the other kitty (although the other kitty wouldn't prefer it) and really wouldn't want to make him an "outside kitty"
All ideas to catch him are welcomed...
