Top 150: A-Rod On Top
Updated: June 13, 2007, 11:38 AM ET
By ESPN.com
With a third of the season in the books, we asked five ESPN.com columnists to rank the top 150 players from this point on. As you might expect, we got five different answers on almost every player. They couldn't even agree on how to rank the top three players, although everyone seemed to agree that Johan Santana is the No. 4 guy. Except Chris Harris. He promptly received a healthy dose of smack talk, to which he replied "he who laughs last, laughs best." And we always thought it was "he who laughs last, didn't get the joke."
The following table is the aggregate of the rankings, along with each participant's personal ranking for each player. Since only 150 players were ranked, all non-ranked players were given a rank of 160.
Check back at the All-Star break for our second-half rankings. And yes, we know the true halfway point of the season is before the break, but we're willing to overlook that technicality.

Nails inc Magnetic Fishnet polish - Soho (Chrome Metallic)This unique formula has been specifically developed with metallic particles to create a fishnet pattern on the nail using magnetic forces. As the magnet is held over the nail, the iron powder in the formulation gravitates towards the magnet forming a wave pattern / design which is secretly hidden in the magnet for the most astonishing finish. How to use magnetic polish: Step 1: Apply one coat of nails inc base coat we recommend Kensington Caviar Base Coat. Then apply one coat of your selected magnetic polish to all 10 nails. The cap is in two parts so pull off the over cap from the bottle and use the inner cap with the brush to apply the polish. Allow to dry. Step 2: Magnetise your nails one by one. You will need the over cap that contains the magnet to do this. Apply a generous coat of your magnetic polish to one nail. Immediately hold the magnetic cap over your nail. There is a lip on the cap to steady the cap over your nail that should be held just below your cuticle allowing the magnet to be positioned perfectly over the nail. Hold very close to the nail but take care not to touch the nail with the magnet. Hold for 1015 seconds then remove and reveal the stunning wave effect. Step 3: Repeat step 2 on all nails until both hands are complete. Marvel at your beautiful magnetised nails.

I hold canopies on with a couple of small pieces of masking tape and glue everywhere the masking tape isn't.
When dry, I remove the tape and glue where the tape was. Canopy glue stays pretty much in place, if you don't use too much. I like the toothpick idea, I'll have to try that one. |

The last canopy I did with "goop". I taped it on where I wanted it on the side of the canopy. I then placed tape 1/16 inch away from the canopy on the fuse front and rear only. Then tape on the canopy 1/16 inch from the fuse front and rear. This left a 1/8 inch "gap" for the goop. I applied the goop and let dry. I removed all the tape and then did the sides of the canopy the same as the front and back. By leaving the 1/8 inch gap with the tape I got nice clean lines when I pulled the tape off. The plane later met it's demise and I was able to peal of the goop and save the canopy for the rebuild. The goop came off clean with very little trouble. The canopy survived the crash and did not depart the fuse despite the near complete destruction of the plane.
I hope this make sense. Ken |

I'm at a similar point in my SA FullHouse 500 build and need to attach the canopy.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...1589628&page=2 The build manual says CAREFUL use of medium CA or canopy glue. Yet another trip to the LHS if I need canopy glue. @bobly - Did you decide on an approach? I'd be interested to hear how it went. |

I use silicone bath tub caulk....make the smallest of holes in the applicater tube,install a small bead of glue around the edges.
small pieces of tape holds it until it dries. It can be removed without damage if need be at any time. start a small knife cut,then gently peel it back. |

Leonardo Express - Keith and Billy
Arrived in Roma - very jet lagged. Took a quick nap and now we are out the door. I am being rushed out the door so, stay tuned. Wanted to let everyone know we arrived safely. Very nice flight, direct from CLT to FCO very quick and LOTS of legroom on USAirways!
Talk to you soon!

Talking with Chelsea and Dean sure makes the time fly, mostly because Dean and I talk lots of ****! We looked outside and it was still light outside! Thats why you don't realise the time! We figured we better head back as we had to catch the metro. We made it back to the hotel fine and got a good night sleep! It was up early again today and on the ...
Walking Rome's ancient wonders
... 2pm and we had to be at our meeting point for the tour at 2:40. The Colosseum wasn't too far away- maybe a 25 minute walk, but my feet were tired and we were both hot. The cobbled stone pavements of Rome are ******* the feet. So Katie spotted an eco bike-cab and we asked how much to take us to the Colosseum - he replied, or I heard, rather, 50 euros. I told Katie that was too much and decided we would have to walk it. Katie asked the man again if he could do it for less as I ...
Italy – Florence, Pisa and Rome

Not that you have to try to sight see in Rome, there's something to see round every corner. We headed for Trevi fountain (where Terri chucked her two cents in, literately!), the Spanish Stairs and the Pantheon. All were stunning but also very busy, not one picture without someone in it! We caught up with a ...

Finally we arrived in Italy, and we approached from the south, so I got to view the coast and the lovely heel that is the south of Italy. It is actually shaped like a heel. The sun was also shining, which was an odd feeling since it was only 3am in Canada. I got off the plane and stood by the baggage claim. An hour and a half later, I grabbed my bag, heaved it onto my back and stumbled out of the airport toward the train station. Taxi drivers called to ...

The Who
What's Pete Townshend up to these days?
ROCK music in 2011 is not quite what it was in the mid-1960s. For one thing, it is full of challenging coincidences, such as the one reported by Pete Townshend in a recent e-mail. "I was supposed to be sailing in the St Barth's Bucket Race on March 24th," he wrote. That's right: the writer of "My Generation", "Substitute" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" now spends part of his time as a yachtsman in the Caribbean. "This was arranged last August," he added. "In a challenging coincidence Roger Daltrey will be performing 'Tommy' on that very day for Teenage Cancer [Trust] at the Royal Albert Hall."

Hypoxia-inducible Factor-dependent Regulation of Platelet-activating Factor Receptor as a Route for Gram-Positive Bacterial Translocation across EpitheliaSimon Keely*,, Louise E. Glover*,, Thomas Weissmueller*, Christopher F. MacManus*, Sophie Fillon, Blair Fennimore*, and Sean P. Colgan* *Mucosal Inflammation Program, Department of Medicine, University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, CO 80045; and Section of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, The Children's Hospital, University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, Aurora, CO 80045 Received for publication July 16, 2009. Revision received November 9, 2009. Accepted for publication December 14, 2009.Monitoring Editor: Asma Nusrat Abstract: Mucosal surfaces, such as the lung and intestine, are lined by a monolayer of epithelia that provides tissue barrier and transport function. It is recently appreciated that a common feature of inflammatory processes within the mucosa is hypoxia (so-called inflammatory hypoxia). Given the strong association between bacterial translocation and mucosal inflammatory disease, we hypothesized that intestinal epithelial hypoxia influences bacterial translocation. Initial studies revealed that exposure of cultured intestinal epithelia to hypoxia (pO2, 20 torr; 24–48 h) resulted in a increase of up to 40-fold in the translocation of some strains of Gram-positive bacteria, independently of epithelial barrier function. A screen of relevant pathway inhibitors identified a prominent role for the platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFr) in hypoxia-associated bacterial translocation, wherein pharmacologic antagonists of PAFr blocked bacterial translocation by as much as 80 ± 6%. Extensions of these studies revealed that hypoxia prominently induces PAFr through a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-dependent mechanism. Indeed, HIF and PAFr loss of function studies (short hairpin RNA) revealed that apically expressed PAFr is central to the induction of translocation for the Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis. Together, these findings reveal that some strains of Gram-positive bacteria exploit HIF-regulated PAFr as a means for translocation through intestinal epithelial cells.

Shi-Woon is desperate. He's constantly bullied and getting beat up at school by a gang of thugs, and is on the verge of suicide. Sick of being weak and helpless, the boy turns to the only person he knows who can help: Chun-Woo, a powerful martial artist and also his new teacher. But Chun-Woo won't take Shi-Woon under his wing so easily, and little does the teenager know about how his would-be mentor acquired his fighting talents...
When Gangryong was in middle school, a powerful martial artist named Yoochun saved him from a group of bullies. Eager to become stronger, the boy begged Yoochun to train him; and after several years of preparation, the man finally agrees to teach him his special skill, Lightning Fist. But soon, Gangryong is approached by a seedy organization named Reunion with a message: Yoochun is dead by their hands, and as his successor, the boy must become a member of Reunion. Once he becomes as strong as his deceased mentor, Gangryong can know more about Yoochun's death. And so, the would-be martial artist heads to a special school for Reunion candidates, eager to fight foes and allies to prove his strength along the way.
Veritas and The Breaker, have pretty much the same awesome mind-blowing plot. Veritas starts off with a kid whose tough but wants to be stronger, and The Breaker starts off with a kid whose weak but wants to be stronger. Both the guys meet incredible masters of martial arts and beg to become there disciples. The masters in these two Manwhas also look very much alike and are badass.
After all said and done, the two boys in different manga come into incredible techniques. The arts wonderfully drawn and everyone should give these two mangas a chance.
The breaker and veritas are both great manwahs in their own rights. Very similar story lines, that still goes in somehow completely different directions. If it's the basic concepts (ie, older student learning a martial arts from a reknown master and slowly becoming stronger) that attracts you to one, then you will definetely love the other
Both start with normal young guys that get sucked into an extravagant world of inhuman martial arts upon meeting mysterious people who turn out to be famous in the fighting world. The art and fights are great, and it's interesting to see how the students progress in their plight to become as strong as their legendary teachers.
Veritas feels a little more like Tenjho Tenge, but both of these manga focus on a weak kid who begs a strong mentor to help train him in martial arts, with similar art styles and themes along the way.
Very similar, with great characters, fights, and some epic moments. This martial arts manhwa also has the same premise - with a focus on the master/disciple relationship. Both Veritas and the Breaker has a few comedic scenes which alleviate the tension created by the focus on martial arts.
Great Series, both of them.
Shirihama Kenichi is a weak scaredy-cat, and his status as the karate club's punching bag has earned him the name of 'Weak Legs'. One day Kenichi meets Miu and, impressed by her skill after she effortlessly throws him to the ground, he follows her to the Ryouzanpaku dojo. There he finds five great masters of martial arts, and driven by his desire to become stronger, he begs them to accept him as their student - though it won't be easy. Kenichi endures harsh training (and injury) from Akisame - the philosophizing Jujitsu master; Apachai - the Muay Thai 'God of Death'; Kensei - the ecchi Chinese Kempo Master; and Shigure - the weapons prodigy. Finally after proving his determination, he is accepted by Shio - the 100-dan Karate Master, who had initially wanted nothing to do with him. Now Kenichi walks the long and arduous path to becoming a master himself, all whilst trying to protect those he cares about from anyone who would dare to harm them.
Yes, they are both martial arts mangas, but that aside, the two do have other similarities. Weak protaganist, strong arch enemies encouraging their growth, and even stronger masters leading them, and let's not forget the special morals of our leading men setting them apart. The protaganists even sound alike at times. If you like any of these ideas and want to see them reproduced in completely different settings, then definitely try both of these mangas/manwahs.
Kenichi is more based on traditional martial arts (while still being ridiculously over the top) while the breaker deals with superhuman ki abilities. They both have protagonists that train under insanely strong masters which progress them to become much more powerful. The action is good and entertaining in both, and they also like to include comedy and ecchi aspects.
Both The Breaker and History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi follow the main protagonist and his path to becoming stronger, so that he can better protect those dear to him. The illustration in both series is excellent with the story flowing in a very similar way in both series
Chances are if you liked one, you will like the other.
Ippo Makunouchi is an average and overly-shy high school teenager. His mother runs a fish boat shop and he constantly has to help her with it, and thus has no friends. Constantly bullied because of this, Ippo wonders what it would be like to be strong. A chance encounter with Takamura Mamoru, an up and coming boxer in the Japanese ranks, leads to Ippo's revelation that he has an incredible punch. Takamura sees potential in Ippo, and brings him into Kamogawa Gym. Thus begins Ippo's journey to discover just what it's like to be a winner. With a fighting spirit, can Ippo eventually become a professional boxer?
Both involve a school student who gets beat up by the school bullies, and meet a famous martial arts expert who teaches them how to fight.
Both series feature a student who has been bullied their Entire life and is very depressed , untill he meets a Famed Martial artist who trains him to be at Top and takes out his hidden talents. But can The prot endure the hard training that faces him ahead?Highly recomended to read other , if u liked one
In the world of martial arts there's one name that strikes fear in the hearts of others: Kunitoshi. As a child, the boy took down expert opponents young and old, but as a result of his abnormal abilities he was unfamiliar with hardships. Therefore his father decided to put limiters on Kunitoshi's body, sapping him of half his original strength. But even with his handicap, Kunitoshi is highly sought after by both his classmates and teachers alike, who are eager to be trained by such a skilled fighter. Alongside busty companions such as Rin, Hou Mei and Akemi, Kunitoshi will battle countless enemies while trying to find a way to remove his body's limiters.
It's all about the Masters of Martial Arts. Aiki and The Breaker, which sounds funny, are centered on perverted hilarious martial arts masters. These two protagonists become teachers for a school and make fools out of themselves. Most of the time they act childish, but they also have a serious side. Both our main characters take on disciples who are put into brutal fights. Each of the protagonists is constantly threatened by a deadly organization that is out to obtain their martial art secrets. With funny moments and badass action moments, if you read one then you shouldn't pass up the other manga.
The Breaker and Gamaran involve boys who want to be much stronger in the martial arts. Both Shin-woo and Gama are laid back kids who leave their old life and enter a bigger world. They are willing to take on any challenge in order to gain respect and strength. With some comedy in both mangas, one feels these manga are side by side in action and kick butt awesomeness. With mass potential and interesting characters, I often ask myself why people haven't read these yet.

Typical outdoor antenna construction is aluminum elements and stainless hardware. Sometimes stainless elements are used.
I am thinking of using 316 stainless steel welding rod which comes in 36" straight lengths from welding supply stores (a store that actually sells bottles of gas not just a hardware store with a few welders). Combine that with stainless hardware to eliminate galvanic corrosion.
Mechanically, you want resistance to bending. The elements are pretty short.
Electrically, you want good conductivity, particularly on the surface since due to skin effect that is the part that will be used. Some antennas use plated steel wires.
Chemically, you want to avoid dissimilar metals and use metals which are resistant to corrosion. Stainless is better than galvanized which is better than zinc plated.
Aluminum is a good conductor but aluminum wire tends to be fairly weak, it develops an oxide layer that is hard to connect to, it is difficult to solder to because of the oxide, and it is hard to match it to hardware in terms of galvanic corrosion and thermal expansion. But aluminum tubing is very often used for antennas but requires a protective coating where it meets hardware.
Wood can be baked at 200 degrees F to dry it. And in the old days was boiled in parraffin.
All wood used in outdoor installations should be
protected from the weather with varnish or paint. A good
grade of marine spar varnish or polyurethane varnish will
offer protection for years in mild climates, and one or more
seasons in harsh climates. Epoxy-based paints also offer good
protection. -- ARRL Antenna Handbook

ReHDPE (Recycled HDPE (polyethelyne)) lumber is good stuff, machines nicely, and is designed for outdoor use (UV inhibitors), and should last for decades. Get the good stuff online
online, not the sawdust filled variety (Trex) at hardware stores that absorbs 4.3% moisture vs 0.06% moisture. Wood can absorb up to 25% water.
teksupply will sell you a 3.5' piece of 2x4 for $10 and they have a 50 year warranty. I have worked with some of that. They also sell stainless steel fasteners, galvanized mesh (but only in >$100 rolls), quick clamp (kee clamp) set screw pipe fittings,
For the structure, I thought about building a box truss (minus the diagonals) out of 1/2" PVC pipe and T fittings for lower wind load than using ReHDPE lumber. UV resistance is a concern with the standard plubbing pipe, though pipe and fittings are available (at much higher cost) with UV inhibitors from greenhouse supply companies.
For the mesh, the stuff you are likely to get in hardware stores is galvanized steel and costs about $0.50 per square foot. To get stainless steel mesh, you will probably have to order online at a cost of around
$6.25 per square foot with a $75 minimum order (about enough for two antennas depending on size). Rust on the mesh is more of a cosmetic issue and an avian issue since you aren't trying to attach wires to it.
Lead (solder) and zinc (galvanizing, zinc plating, paint) are toxic to birds. This is why bird cages aren't made out of galvanized wire. Wild birds may be less likely to chew on your antenna than domestic ones and do so less often. Hot dipped (typical hardware cloth) is worse than electroplated. The zinc itself rusts, while protecting the steel, making a powder that comes off easily on your hands or a birds beak. http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww14eii.htm
Using quality materials you can spend as much as a commercial antenna.
You can buy a winegard PR-8800 for $43, a channel master 4228 for $60, or an Antennacraft Super G1483 hoverman that claims to outperform 8-bays at
Summit Source. It is possible to outperform a commercial antenna. Many are designed to support obsolete channels and they are designed for mass production and to fit in boxes.
Ballpark estimates:
- Plastic lumber: $10
- Stainless mesh: $45 (need two to meet minimum order)
- Stainless antenna elements and feedline: $2?
- Stainless hardware: $8
So, you are looking at $65 in parts (qty 2) for a quality homebrew outdoor antenna. You can shave a lot off this by using inferior material, but you may find yourself climbing a ladder to repair, replace, or repaint your antenna. Cutting corners on the mesh, by using galvanized, saves the most money and impacts performance and lifetime the least and lowers the cost to around $25 (not counting shipping).
Set screw pipe fittings (Kee Klamp, Quik Klamp, etc.) can be used to construct antennas, antenna masts and support structures, and to provide more adjustability. Most antenna mast systems don't allow you to adjust elevation angle. These pipe fittings are available in aluminum or galvanized steel. Survived one year immersed in salt water (plus Hurricane Katrina). An erector set for grownups.

Amazon makes a move which could fundamentally change retail sales
The Price Check by Amazon App is creating a storm in the retail industry
Online retailing leader Amazon is to make a compelling offer this coming Saturday – use their smartphone app to compare prices, and they'll effectively pay you $5 to walk out of the store. It is an historic move in the evolution of retail sales. As smart phone penetration heads for ubiquity, the price comparison app might go mainstream quite quickly from here. For the customer, it means getting accurate comparison information before a purchase. For the shopping app provider it means an opportunity to make a bid on a customer's patronage at the time- and point-of-sale, inside a competitor's bricks and mortar, at the same time as creating a marketing intelligence tool par excellence. A bold move indeed.

Anyone who lost a loved one due to mesothelioma knows how brutal the cancer is. Mesothelioma patients are often in a state of exhaustion and pain. Breathing is a constant struggle. When mesothelioma patients decide to file lawsuits against employers that exposed them to asbestos that caused their disease, they find it difficult just to take the stand and answer questions. Doctors often give strict orders to patients to answer questions for just a few minutes a day so they can get enough rest.
However, in some cases, opposing lawyers might prolong the deposition by asking pointless, repetitive questions, drawing accusations of "waiting out the clock" on sick witnesses. If the sick plaintiff passes away before the end of a trial, the accused parties would not need to pay as much in damages. If the patient dies before completing a deposition, their statements may not be considered in an eventual trial.
To address this unconscionable practice, the California legislature has set a limit on the number of hours that a mesothelioma patient can testify in court. If a doctor says a patient has six months or less to live, the patient can only testify for a total of 14 hours. This prevents the accused from drawing out depositions in the hopes that a patient's health problem prevents a damning testimony.
We are glad that legislation responded to this abhorrent practice. If companies knowingly expose their workers to asbestos, then those workers deserve their day in court. If you know someone suffering from a disease related to asbestos exposure, call us today at 1 (888) 637-6347 to schedule a free consultation with our lawyers.
[Did You Know: Mesothelioma may not show symptoms until 20, 30 or 40 years after the initial asbestos exposure.]

Die Beerdigung
Howdy folks,
The reason that I was in Duisburg is because Tante Emilie died on Monday and the funeral or Beerdigung was on Thursday. I had met Tante Emilie in August when I came up to visit and it was a shock to hear that she died. Rainer suggested that I come up as an Australian representative so that is what I did!
We woke up to have breakfast and then a few people came around, while I got ready. We all drove to the local cemetary where the chapel had been ...

Mevrouw particularly likes Brugge. She is enthralled after visiting a Dali exhibition in the central square. "What a genius, did you know he did illustrations for Alice in Wonderland". Delft is famous for its artists - Vermeer and Rembrandt to name but two. Whereas Meneer shares this interest, art does not do a lot for me but I'm as impressed as they are with the ...
The way back home
After one last breakfast and early lunch on the Rambuttri road, we collected our luggage and used taxi and skytrain to get back to the airport. After checkin and some duty free shopping to use up our last Bhat, we were on our way to Abu-Dhabi again. The two flights and and the short stay in between were mostly spent relaxing and sleeping, we finally landed in D�sseldorf again and returned home early on Saturday morning.

... minutes late so I only had enough time to jump out and grab a quick photo of the Dom before continuing my journey. My connecting train took me through Frankfurt Airport to Hanau where Silvana was waiting ready to pick me up. Silvana is an old friend of mine that I first met in New Zealand on my Contiki tour. After I came to Germany she came to Heidelberg to visit us and said that I should come visit her someday near Frankfurt. So that is exactly what I did!

The Civil War created West Virginia, and this state's tormented record in the ghastly conflict is being retraced in many observations of the war's 150th anniversary. Events will peak June 20, the date of the Mountain State's birth.
Most people know that John Brown's failed 1859 attack on Harpers Ferry, Va., helped polarize the slaveholding South against the slave-free North and made the war inevitable.
But most don't know that a clique of New England abolitionists, "the Secret Six," covertly funded Brown's doomed crusade, first in Kansas and later in Virginia. The circle of wealthy and influential intellectuals even hid Brown in their homes while he was wanted for murder for attacking slavery advocates in Kansas.
The six slavery-fighters were: Boston physician Samuel Howe, whose wife Julia Ward Howe wrote the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" -- Unitarian minister Theodore Parker, who called democracy "government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people," a phrase adapted famously by Abraham Lincoln -- millionaire abolitionist Gerrit Smith -- Harvard-educated thinker Franklin Sanborn, who taught Ralph Waldo Emerson's children -- philanthropist George Stearns -- and Unitarian preacher Thomas Higginson, editor of the Atlantic Monthly.
Higginson was the fiercest radical among the six. After Brown was captured, some other conspirators in the Secret Six fled to Canada to avoid arrest. Smith denied involvement and committed himself to a mental asylum. Parker remained in Europe until his death.
But Higginson defended Brown publicly -- and secretly plotted an armed attack to rescue Brown from his jail in what is now the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Brown was hanged before the rescue could occur.
Last week, a New York Times historical account described how Higginson became a colonel in the Union Army and led a regiment of freed slaves to capture Jacksonville, Fla., in 1863. He hoped to trigger an insurrection by Southern slaves -- just as Brown had attempted at Harpers Ferry. But his attempt likewise failed.
West Virginia's stormy history is deeply entwined with the story of America.

For Fields' part, he has settled in early this season after suffering through some arm problems in 2012. His earned run average hovered around 4.00 last year.
"This is the kid you saw the last two weeks of the season last year," Young said. "It took him awhile to get there last year."
Offseason work brought Fields to where he is in 2013 - 3-0 record, 23 strikeouts, four walks and a 0.47 earned run average in 15 innings.
"To be honest, I wasn't conditioning my arm like I should have (last year)," he said. "I worked my butt off. I throw today, I have long toss (Tuesday), I have seventh-period lifting, I can work out the soreness. Last year, just a lot on me, laziness, not willing to take care of my arm.
"I decided I wanted to play Division I baseball, so I wanted to take care of my arm."
The hitting came from the top and bottom of the lineup with leadoff hitter Corey Bird reaching base four times, stealing two bases and scoring four times. Ryan Shamblin had three hits with three RBI and Fields hit his second home run of the season after hitting three last year. Cody Bowen singled twice.
"Our lineup is stacked, we're all seeing the ball well with good plate approaches," Fields said. "No mercy. We don't let anybody be on the field with us if they shouldn't be out there."

Gil Scott-heron passed away on Friday May 27th at the age of 62. Scott was a musician who stood out as a visionary artist that helped form the groundwork of hip-hop. His music was transcendental and helped move along social justice for black Americans in a post-civil rights world. His music not only preached equality among men, but it helped define a generation of musicians seeking to break the mold and make a statement. The musician used minimalistic drum beats, spoken word poetry, and funk progressions to create a new form of music that hadn't been heard till then, hip-hop.
With his most well known album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, Heron created a visionary work of proto-rap that brought together funk, jazz, and spoken word combinations that is still described by many as the first rap album. According to The Washington Post Heron had been battling HIV for years, but still put out an enormous catalog of work. He even had a troubling addiction with crack-cocaine that led to a stay in jail. This did not affect Heron's career though, his last album was a collaboration with Jamie XX which was titled We're Still Here, a reworking of Scott-Heron's acclaimed album I'm New Here. The album was released in February 2010.
Not only did Scott-Heron aid in the civil rights of his brothers, but his music was also politically charged as well. He spoke out against nuclear arms, and the apartheid in South Africa. Throughout his career, he recorded well over a dozen albums, and wrote fiction and poetry. When he was 19 Heron published his first book which was a murder-mystery called The Vulture. The causes of his death are still unknown, but on behalf of all music enthusiasts out there, we thank you for all your visionary work in music, Mr. Scott-Heron. Read More
Tributes have been pouring in from around the world from musicians and friends of the poet and music pioneer Gil Scott-Heron, who died on Friday at 62. Eminem, Talib Kweli and Snoop Dogg were among the rappers who acknowledged Mr. Scott-Heron's early influence on hip-hop and black protest culture after hearing the news, according to BBC News. The cause of death was not immediately known, though The Associated Press reported that Mr. Scott-Heron had become ill after returning from a trip to Europe. Chuck D of Public Enemy posted on Twitter, "We do what we do and how we do because of you." Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah wrote: "Salute Gil Scott-Heron for his wisdom and poetry! May he rest in paradise." Eminem wrote on Twitter: "RIP Gil Scott-Heron. He influenced all of hip-hop." Cee Lo Green recognized "the god Gil Scott," while Talib Kweli said he "completely influenced me as an artist." The politically outspoken rapper Michael Franti said Mr. Scott-Heron's talent was his ability to "make us think about the world in a different way." Richard Russell, who produced and released Mr. Scott-Heron's final album, "I'm New Here in 2010," described him as "a master lyricist, singer, orator and keyboard player." Lemn Sissay, a friend of Mr. Scott-Heron's who produced a documentary on his work, told the BBC that he was "a polymath" who "spoke crucially of the issues of his people." NY Times

I am going to say only one thing. This is one of the most impressive places I have ever visited. And I assure you I have visited a few.
Small, still alive ancient church, surrounded by astonishing archeological park with remainings of initial basilica.
We were walking towards the harbour at Paphos, took a slightly different route and came upon this site. What a surprise, and a good one at that.

I bought this lift and didn't need to use for several months. When I started to assemble the lift the ball bearings fell out of 1 caster. I called the number listed for help and was told it was past warranty and that there are no replacement casters available. I understand being out of warranty but think they should have replacement parts available.

It does MUCH more than lift panels
By Kansas Ken
from Kansas
I had this lift assembled and lifting in under 10 minutes flat, without using the instructions!! It literally snaps together. The only time I needed a wrench was to attach the handle that goes into the spin wheel. It breaks down for transport in about a minute. It is no toy though. It is heavy duty but can be quickly broken down in about a minute into 3 pieces. Attention to detail was used in the design, such as no tools needed for assembly and disassembly. In addition to lifting sheetrock, I lifted boxes up into my garage rafters for storage. I also lifted a gas compressor up even with the top of the tool cabinet on my trucks utility bed, about 6' feet, then simply slid the compressor sideways on top of the cabinets and bolted in in. I recently replaced my electric garage door opener and used the lift to remove the old motor and then lifted the new motor into place and allowed me both hands free to secure it while the lift held the motor in place. The quality compared to the price can't be beat. I have really had good luck using Harbor Freight tools this panel lift is no different.

Used this lift to put a ceiling in my garage. Also strapped a 160 pound wood stove to it and removed it off a dolly. Good product.
Great Product
By Bugsy
from Strasburg, CO
This thing is the best investment I've made in a long time. I used it to put the ceiling in my garage which is 10' high. This piece of equipment made it so easy to put the panels in place I couldn't believe it. With all of the building that I've done over the years I should have purchased this a long time ago. I don't think you will find a similar product that is built any better than this one. I looked at a wide variety when I was thinking about purchasing this and none of them were built any better. The only thing that differentiated them was price. When I'm done with it storage won't be a problem because it breaks down easily and is easy to transport this way also. I don't think you can find a better value for the price. I didn't find anything about the unit that I disliked during use.

I bought this to hang drywall in my garage and house. Hung a total of 63 sheets with no problems what so ever. Would highly recommend to anyone. Great buy for the price

great tool
By Ken
from Pittsburgh, PA
I wish I had bought this item years ago. It's such a time and labor saver. It makes drywalling ceilings sooooooo much easier when you're doing the job by yourself. No longer do I have to recruit two other guys to help me lift the drywall into place. I'll never do another ceiling job without this tool again!

complicated but gets the job done.
By Cisco
from Philadelphia, PA
Most of the ceilings that i do are flats. When i first heard about the lift i rented one a little different. I felt in love with this piece of equipment. I found that harbor freight had if for reasonable features. As mentioned before there are more safety then other lifts. (Needing 3 hands) the only thing that i diliked alot about the lift is that i can't use the support hook as mentioned in the owner the hook bolt do not work properly. Over all its a great tool.

Great for DIY, not for commercial
By DIY GUY
from St. Louis, Mo
I bought this lift to finish the ceiling on a rehab in my house. I had no help and I knew I could not lift the drywall and screw it in place by myself. The lift worked great for this project.I would not recommend it for commercial use but it is a great solution for DIY user for home projects.
I would buy this product again

Coping With the New Extremism
Oklahoma bombing exposes rise of anti-government groups
(Page 2 of 2)
People who join these groups are often on the margins of society. They are disaffected with life and want to feel powerful, says Danny Welch of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Add the fact that many of them have had military training, he says, and it's a ''recipe for disaster.''
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Economics plays a large role as well, he notes. More people in rural areas are in economic trouble and contemptuous of the federal government. ''When you're hungry, he says, you're going to look for someone to blame.''
Even though militia groups are denying responsibility for the Oklahoma City attack the seedy side of this movement might drive some of the more stable people out. Many of them might recognize the absurdity of calling themselves a militia to protect the state.
''When was the last time we needed the militia, 1775?,'' says Welch.
Laws and public education needed
What can 100 men with rifles really do against a modern army, anyway? While Welch says militias can seem laughable, ''add hatred and automatic weapons and the the laughter ends.''
In the near term, Welch says that states have to consider adopting laws that forbid paramilitrary training, or repealing antiquated laws, like one in Arizona, that allow citizens to form armed groups. The public also has to be educated about issues concerning militias, and about the second amendment.
Both Ezekiel and Welch note that these groups feel provoked, and that in some ways, they are already at war with the government.
US law enforcement officials are now investigating whether, in fact, a conspiracy existed among a number of militia groups to carry out the attack on the Oklahoma City federal building.
Suspect Timothy McVeigh has been linked to the Arizona Patriots, a right-wing group once accused of planning to blow up an Internal Revenue Service building in Utah, as well as the Michigan Militia, a fast-growing group headquartered in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula.
For their part, Michigan Militia leaders strongly deny any part in the Oklahoma City attack and say that McVeigh was never a real member of their group.
Some militia members admit that McVeigh was present at group meetings.
Michigan Militia leaders held a long-planned rally in celebration of their one-year anniversary over the weekend. Asked if he felt his groups shared any blame for the Oklahoma City events, Michigan Militia chief of staff Ray Southwell said ''absolutely not.''
Southwell said that blaming his group was akin to blaming the US Post Office for deranged postal workers that fire on their fellows, or holding the National Collegiate Athletic Association responsible for any vandalism that followed in the wake of the UCLA victory in the NCAA basketball tournament last month.
Southwell, however, also condemned ''the terrorists within our federal government . . . for their role in the deaths of Branch Davidian members in Waco, Texas.''
''While senseless violence serves no purpose, we pray that this tragedy in Oklahoma will shake the halls of government,'' Southwell said.
Terry and James Nichols, brothers held as material witnesses in the Oklahoma City investigation, have also been linked to the Michigan Militia.
The basic beliefs of Michigan Militia members are grounded in a conviction that the UN is poised to overthrow the sovereignty of the US.
Members believe that large numbers of UN troops are massed on US military bases in preparation for attack and that highway signs may contain coded messages to guide the foreign troops.
Powerful individuals within the federal government are helping the UN, militia members believe, by eroding constitutional rights -- especially the right to bear arms.

Why ads?By KBB.com Editors
A compact front-drive two-door that interweaves unique Volvo styling cues with well-proven mechanicals from the S40 and V50 lines, the 2010 C30 is designed to blur the established line between a conventional hatchback and a station wagon. Volvo's most affordable entry is available in two trim levels: The well-appointed T5 and a top-of-the-line T5 R-Design that includes suspension upgrades, more standard features and R-inspired body kit and trim. Although the C30's closest direct competitors are the MINI Cooper and Volkswagen GTI, devotees of trendy personal transport modules might consider this high-profile newcomer as a suitable alternative for vehicles as diverse as the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series or Scion tC.
If you're willing to trade off a bit of conventional station wagon utility for a look that will definitely turn heads, the new 2010 Volvo C30's approach to style, comfort and performance could make it a very appealing choice.
While some potential buyers may find the 2010 Volvo C30's sheetmetal a bit too avant-garde, those wanting a true wagon will likely have bigger problems with its lack of rear passenger doors, modest cargo capacity and diminutive hatch opening.
The C30 T5 gains Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, a leather-wrapped shift knob and parking brake cover, a trip computer and cruise control, while the sporty T5 R-Design gains all this plus fog lights. The Custom Build Program has been eliminated for 2010.
Driving Impressions A turbocharged five-cylinder engine endows both C30 variants with the same spirited acceleration, while Volvo's driver-selectable Dynamic Traction and Stability Control system and anti-lock disc brakes enhance their fundamentally solid...
handling and stopping capabilities. Beyond those basics, each embodies a slightly different variation on the theme. In T5 guise, the C30's personality is skewed towards buyers who put a higher priority on ride comfort than on precision responsiveness. If you're more inclined to spend time carving up corners than negotiating urban stop-and-go or long-distance freeway cruising, consider the T5 R-Design. Its slightly tauter suspension settings, lower ride height and upgraded wheel and tire package help quicken the C30's steering response, trim body roll during hard cornering and mildly reduce braking distances. Even at the R-Design level, the C30 retains an edge in overall ride compliance compared to the Mini Cooper and VW GTI. However, it does still fall a little short of those two with respect to absolute sportiness.Head-Turning Style
This modern-day reinterpretation of one of Volvo's most memorable sportwagon models has a distinctive visual presence that sets it apart from the competition but still maintains legitimate four-passenger practicality.
Responsive Turbocharged Engine
Its wide, flat torque curve makes the C30's potent turbocharged five-cylinder engine a perfect match for this petite hauler, injecting a major dose of pure driving delight whether paired with the standard manual or optional automatic transmission.
The C30 borrows major cabin design elements from the S40 and V50, including Volvo's slim-line "floating" center stack that holds controls and switchgear for the audio and air conditioning. Aluminum-accent R-style trim in the R-Design model adds visual character that raises it well above the standard gray-plastic of the T5, but both versions are fitted with comfortable and supportive manually-adjustable bucket seats covered in Volvo's fabric-like T-Tek material (T5) or Premium leather (R-Design). The C30's rear quarters feature dual seats with enough head and leg room to accommodate two average-sized adults. Although folding the seatbacks increases cargo capacity from 12.9 to 20.2 cubic feet, the C30's smallish and oddly-shaped glass hatch does negatively impact the loading and unloading process.
ExteriorThe C30's distinctive appearance reflects a neo-classic look that matches front-end cues based on Volvo's current S40 and V50 models with the flowing tapered roof and prominent taillight treatment seen on the firm's 2001 Safety Concept Car (SCC). While the C30's two-door configuration and rakishly angled all-glass rear hatch also figured in the SCC's design brief, both elements first appeared on the P1800ES sportwagon, a '70s-era Volvo that still enjoys cult-car status. The C30 T5 model pairs 205/50 tires with 17-inch aluminum wheels, while the R-Design steps up to 215/45 rubber on larger 18-inch alloy rims and adds a body kit with color-coordinated fender flares, side skirts and front and rear spoilers.
Beyond identical powertrains, the T5 and T5 R-Design also share a fairly expansive set of features, highlighted by a full array of power assists, air conditioning with cabin pollen filter, tilt and telescoping steering column, a driver information system, keyless remote entry, cruise control, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, anti-theft immobilizer system, front, front-side and side-curtain airbags, Volvo's side-impact and whiplash protection systems and anti-lock disc brakes with Electronic Brake Assistance. A 160-watt/six-speaker AM/FM/HD/CD/MP3 audio package with auxiliary audio and USB/iPod input jacks is standard on both, as are steering wheel mounted audio controls. The R-Design also gets Premium leather seating, fog lights, unique bodywork, chassis and interior trim enhancements.
Highlighting the C30's conventional options list are an automatic transmission, leather upholstery, power glass moonroof, an HDD-based navigation system with real-time traffic updates and the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). The Climate Package adds heated seats, Rain Sensor wipers, electronic climate control and headlight washers, while the Multimedia Package gains a 650-watt Dynaudio Surround Sound audio system and SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Check off the Preferred Package and you'll get a power front seats, dual xenon headlamps and Volvo's Keyless Drive.
Both the T5 and T5 R-Design are fitted with identical powertrain elements. The lightweight-aluminum 2.5-liter turbocharged inline five-cylinder engine develops 227 horsepower at 5000 rpm and is fitted with variable valve timing that helps it make and maintain a constant 236 pound-feet of torque from 1500 to 5000 rpm. That expansive torque plateau ensures superb responsiveness, whether you back it with the base six-speed manual transmission or the optional five-speed Geartronic automatic that also incorporates a manual-style "auto-stick" function. The C30 can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds with the manual and needs only 6.6 seconds to hit that mark with the automatic, even when left to shift for itself.

I made a point of testing getting in and out of the back seat before I purchased it and had no problem but my friends seem to struggle each time (we're all late 50s)"

"The Volvo C30 is understated and hard to find on the road. Design is eye-catching and mine is a bright red which draws many admiring comments! It is really zippy and responsive yet gets surprisingly good gas mileage. Seats are super comfortable and hatchback really convenient for gym bag and everyday essentials. Build quality is legendary which earns Volvos a great safety rating. It rides really silent on the road which allows enjoyment of the premium sound system which came custom extra with the car. What can I say - I am hooked on Volvo and the C30 is an all round great experience with zero issues experienced in the 5 years I have owned it."

"I love this car, I am amazed at the mileage I get considering how heavy and solid it feels. I bought this after a collision in another car and was concerned about safety. It is a very comfortable quiet ride. My only caveat is the rear door opening is small with lip to get things over. The interior is very comfortable and stylish and roomy, well though out. The best is the warranty that includes wear and tear for five years! I added back up sensors which I think should be standard on every car. Because I relocated across country I have dealt with 3 different dealerships which I found to be excellent. Very professional and helpful."

"Higher than normal road noise. Automatic temp works poorly - drops too low a fan speed to maintain temp. but manual is fine. Had 3 minor warrantee claims. Handles great. Lots of power although turbo takes a moment to kick in. R Type trim below bumpers hit curbs. Very nice auto trans. Shifts unnoticeably. Computer reminded me of need for first oil change 4,000 miles beyond when due. Interior is nice. Nice seats and very comfortable. Access to rear a bit tight but comfortable when you get there. Get a cargo net or be pelted if you stop suddenly. Neat car with many positives and a few puzzles."

"Purchased a 2011 through the Overseas Delivery Program. Picked it up in Gottenberg, Sweden took the ferry to Germany and drove it from Kiel to Munich in one day at speeds up to 125mph. The car drives better the faster you drive it. I absolutely love this car. It's the embodiment of refined sports handling. I did the Polestar upgrade over a year ago and that made it even better. It improved the performance and I got a 1.5 mpg increase. I would love to buy another especially if I could do the overseas delivery again. It's the best kept secret in the entire car industry."
