Key Houses of the Twentieth Century
By Colin DaviesW. W. Norton
Women and the Making of the Modern House
By Alice T. FriedmanYale University Press
The house nurtures our sense of self, embodies our notions of intimate family life, and serves as our haven in a heartless world. But it's also the site of Sisyphean labor, mostly female—cooking, minding, cleaning, imposing order on the fruits and detritus of bourgeois life, including but not limited to vast holdings of cotton-ball-festooned pre-K art projects. All of which means, of course, that it's contested terrain—between the individual and the family, children and parents, wives and husbands.
Alice Friedman's Women and the Making of the Modern House and Colin Davies's Key Houses of the Twentieth Century probe aspects of the complex relationship between modernism— the dominant architectural style of the 20th century—and domesticity. Together and sometimes in spite of themselves, they illuminate the central role middle- class women played in the development of a peculiarly American strain of modernist architecture. They also help explain why a nostalgia for what the marketers have dubbed "mid-century modern" has for several years now gripped the sort of Atlantic-reading 30- and 40-something married couples who eagerly thumb the Design Within Reach catalog and exclaim over those fab prefab houses in Dwell magazine while on line at Whole Foods.
Friedman's book, just published in paperback, is, alas, quirkier than its title implies. It analyzes six houses designed by notable architects for women who were unattached to men. Although the idiosyncratic cases Friedman has chosen may obscure more issues than they clarify, her inventive approach—she uses letters, diaries, and interviews to reveal how the houses were actually lived in—is so smart that it should long have been an obvious way to write about buildings, an endeavor that tends toward the abstract and the speculative.
And the author breaks new ground with her intricate assessment of the collaboratively designed Rietveld Schröder House (1924), perhaps the first great modernist house. With its exuberant primary colors and its intimate scale, this small, inexpensively built, light-filled, semi-detached De Stijl dwelling is the antithesis of the severe work of Le Corbusier and the Bauhaus that came to define European modernism. To be sure, it's defined by floating lines and planes, but Gerrit Rietveld, the architect, and Truus Schröder, a widow with three young children, herself an amateur architect, designed it for a most old-fashioned, bourgeois purpose: to interweave the lives of mother and children. Its open plan engendered a communal family life (a life that even then, it seems, homework threatened to fracture; they designed built-in desks so that schoolwork would be done in family surroundings), and an elaborate system of sliding, folding, and pivoting wooden partitions divided the open space into bedrooms. Rietveld, who became Schröder's lover and eventually moved into the house after her children were grown, never got used to the discipline the partitions demanded (Schröder, in contrast, was—as Rietveld Schröder House, Ida van Zijl's perceptive 1999 monograph, dryly notes—"extremely driven about operating the sliding walls").
But that discipline helped make the house a feminine dwelling. The Dutch idea of domesticity arose from the dogged efforts of bourgeois women, who historically lacked servants, to impose a nurturing order on home life. The Rietveld Schröder House—in its child-centeredness and playfulness, combined with its womanly control (twice-daily sliding and pivoting!) and orderliness (for bedrooms to emerge as part of the family area, beds had to be made and clothes put in drawers)—was a thoroughly modernist but profoundly domestic female-run environment.
Schröder's inspiration for the open-plan living space, for those somewhat wacky partitions, and for the arrangements of her house was in part a book that the domestic reformers Catharine Beecher and her sister Harriet Beecher Stowe had written some 50 years before,The American Woman's Home (recently reprinted by Rutgers University Press, it incorporates many of Beecher Stowe's writings on the home first published in this magazine). In their efforts to give women greater control over their homes, the sisters devised an innovative house plan, famously prefiguring modernist principles, in which function determined form. Small and hence easy to maintain, the sisters' notional middle-class house was anchored by a core of mechanical services that drew the kitchen—with a streamlined, single- surface workspace—from the back of the house to its heart. The kitchen opened onto two large, open living spaces that residents could configure in various ways with movable screens. The house was truly revolutionary, because it was designed for and centered on the person who worked there: the housewife and mother.
Friedman says that even today, professional-class mothers who work with architects to design their own houses (and what other class of woman can afford to do so?) want to place their primary work area, be it kitchen or home office, at the center, so that they can always monitor, if not necessarily engage with, their children. She calls this "the maternal eye," and it's a concern that, though she fails to note it, brought about probably the most significant design change in the last hundred years of American domestic architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright, at least since designing his Prairie houses, in the early part of the 20th century, had been exquisitely sensitive to the ways parents and children interact in a house and to the ways design could alter those interactions. Those houses broke down the complex network of Victorian rooms, substituting long, flowing spaces that both reflected and encouraged parents' newly informal and more intimate relationship with their children.

Peak & Prairie
Mountain Chapter's
Online Newsletter
June / July 1999
Letters to the Editor
U.S. Army · Shell Oil Company
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
January 13, 1999
Dear Editor:
As you know, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal is a complex site, often involving very technical information and situations that, at times, are outside the comfort zones of some interested individuals. Although we attempt to explain these matters in terms that are easy to comprehend, on occasion inaccurate information is printed about the Arsenal. We make every effort to correct inaccuracies to ensure that our neighbors and stakeholders have fair and factual information.
The December/January issue of Peak and Prairie featured an article titled "Here Come the Eagles." There are three main points in this article that require further clarification.
First, the article states that it's not safe to visit the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The majority of the Arsenal's 27 square miles has never been disturbed by past manufacturing practices and is not impacted by current cleanup operations. In addition, numerous safety measures are in place to control access to the central sections of the site where many cleanup programs are actively underway.
Secondly, the article makes reference to a container of GB Sarin found at the site earlier this summer. This is simply not true. In September, contractors working on a cleanup activity in the central portion of the Arsenal spotted a canister that was later identified as an unexploded ordnance. Further analysis determined that the canister was filled with antifreeze. Experts then disposed of the item following standard military procedures.
Lastly, feeding the Arsenal's wintering bald eagles is a rare occurrence and not a routine procedure. A few years ago, plague virtually wiped out the Arsenal's prairie dog population - a primary food source for eagles. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had to locate an alternate food source to ensure their health and safety. This was not a public relations tactic, but rather a tactic to protect the bald eagle in accordance with the Endangered Species Act and standard wildlife management principles.
We cordially invite all Sierra Club members to join us and see this unique site first hand. The Arsenal wishes to thank members of the Sierra Club and our surrounding communities for their continued dedication to the Arsenal's progress. More information can either be obtained on our web site at www.pmrma-www.army.mil or by calling the Arsenal Information Line at 303-286-8036.

SC RMA Committee still feels that it is inappropriate to have children visiting
a superfund site. Apologies on the
sarin misrepresentation - the GB information was never verbally corrected to
antifreeze at RAB or SSAB meetings. It
still seems irregular for a wildlife refuge to be feeding wild birds to keep
them on the property.

Posts tagged: Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area
A Kettle Falls man who collects historic artifacts will be banned from Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and serve three years probation for removing archaeological resources worth about $2,000.
Sandie Rae McNeil, 45, also will be on home detention for 30 days and will pay a $2,000 fine and $2,000 restitution, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. He's banned from the recreation site for three years.
Federal agents recovered projectile points, stone weights and tools, stone flakes, a gun cartridge and other protected archaeological objects from his Kettle Falls home in May 2005. McNeil told a park ranger he thought it was legal to remove the items.
In court documents, McNeil's lawyer described McNeil as a tire shop worker and lifelong Kettle Falls resident who "has seriously pursued his passion for collecting historical artifacts there."
"He knows the area as few do," his lawyer wrote. "He loves the area as few do."
In a prepared statement, U.S. Attorney Michael Ormsby called the pillaging "reprehensible."
"It is nothing less than stealing the cultural heritage of our ancestors," he said.

Mumia Abu-Jamal May Be Off Death Row, But His Torture Continues In the 'Hole'
Photo Credit: cjeam on Flickr
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In this interview we speak with Bret Grote of Human Rights Coalition. HRC, according to its Web site, is "a group of predominately prisoners' families, ex-prisoners and some supporters," whose "ultimate goal is to abolish prisons." Learn more at www.hrcoalition.org.
Prison Radio: Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal argue that his current time in the hole is a form of retaliation for his being a longtime political activist. In his recent article, " Sadism in the Cell: Thanks to a Vindictive Prison System, Abu-Jamal is Still in 'The Hole,'" Linn Washington Jr. contextualizes recent events by documenting a long history of repression, ultimately arguing that "while Abu-Jamal detractors indignantly dismiss all claims of his being a political prisoner, his post-arrest ordeals provide a compelling case of a person specifically targeted by authorities for who he is politically more than for the crime he is supposedly serving time for."
Why do you think it is that Mumia is currently being held in administrative custody?
Bret Grote: In regard to Mumia, the inference should always be that the government is targeting him because of his politics due to the more than forty years that federal agents, Philadelphia police and prosecutors, governors of Pennsylvania, and prison officials have been conspiring to silence him. The current rationales offered by prison officials for his placement in solitary confinement do not withstand scrutiny, which lends further support to the inference that he is continuing to be targeted.
First, they asserted that they were waiting for the filing of paperwork by the district attorney's office of Philadelphia so that his sentence would be formally changed from death to life without the possibility of parole. According to information available on the DOC's Web site, however, all death-sentenced prisoners are held on death row at State Correctional Institution (SCI) Greene or SCI Graterford. Abu-Jamal was removed from death row virtually as soon as Philadelphia DA Seth Williams announced he would not seek to re-impose the death penalty. If the prison were in fact waiting for a formal re-sentencing prior to placement in general population, Mumia would still be on death row.
Second, they have recently decided that his hair exceeds the regulatory length and that he needs this cut. It took them five weeks to notify him of this. Obviously, the length of Mumia's hair was not unknown to prison officials. In fact, he was held on disciplinary status while on death row earlier during his confinement for eight years, although he was removed from that status -- without cutting his hair -- in the early '90s at some point.
The shifting rationales indicate that they are digging their heels in and seem prepared to try to continue subjecting Mumia to solitary confinement torture, which has been his fate for thirty years.
It is important to note that the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture has recently declared that, in his opinion, prolonged solitary confinement of more than fifteen days violates article 1 (prohibiting torture) or 16 (prohibiting other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment) of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment. He further stated that the Convention is violated when solitary confinement is imposed as punishment. These standards applied to U.S. prisons renders the overwhelming majority of solitary confinement practices criminal.
PR: Can you please tell us more about how PA Prisons use solitary confinement and what are called "Restrictive Housing Units." How is it used? Against whom? Are there other examples of solitary confinement punishment being used to retaliate against political activists?
BG: While the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) operates in a seemingly arbitrary nature, there are some factors that place prisoners at high risk for being kept in long-term solitary confinement: 1) political activism and jailhouse lawyering; 2) race; and 3) mental illness.

The Hangover, Best Picture nominee? Perhaps.The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday it is doubling the number of Best Picture nominees — from five to 10."Having 10 Best Picture nominees is going allow Academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize," AMPAS President Sid Ganis said in a press conference. "I can't wait to see what that list of 10 looks like when the nominees are announced in February."The larger field might mean the inclusion of more commercially successful films, not to mention smaller, foreign and animated films. The Academy received flak last season when The Dark Knight and Pixar's Wall-E were snubbed in favor of, say, the barely seen Holocaust drama The Reader. This means we should probably pencil in Up now. (Beauty and the Beast was the last animated flick to make the Best Picture cut, in 1991. No superhero film has ever been nominated for Best Picture.)The expansion is a throwback to the Academy's early years in the 1930s and '40s, when anywhere between eight and 12 films were shortlisted (or longlisted). The last time the 10 films were nominated was the 1943 ceremony, when Casablanca was named Best Picture. Going My Way was the first film to win the top prize in the limited field of five.Several film organizations, such as the National Board of Review and the Broadcast Film Critics, already name 10 picture nominees. The change will take effect for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Nominees will be announced Feb. 2. The ceremony airs March 7 at 8:30 pm/ET on ABC.

Published October 31, 2013
Shifting rapidly with the weather, the supply of renewable power can be quite changeable. Most power plants, however, are anything but. Unable to ramp up or down quickly and efficiently, conventional facilities lack the ability to capitalize on a growing influx of wind and solar power to the grid.
Now the technology behind power plants is shifting in response. In California, two new "flex" plants have been built to swoop in and fill the gap with natural gas when renewable resources fall short of demand. One of the plants, the modernized El Segundo Energy Center, opened in September near Los Angeles. The project, which is operated by NRG Energy and uses technology from Siemens, is only the second of its kind in commercial operation nationwide; the first opened last year in Lodi, near Stockton. (See related quiz: "What You Don't Know About Electricity.")
Employing innovations that make the most of combined-cycle technology, in which exhaust heat captured from the burning of natural gas drives a steam turbine, El Segundo's two units can each ramp up to 150 megawatts within 10 minutes and reach a maximum output of 275 megawatts apiece in less than an hour. In contrast, old gas-fired steam boilers still in use at the site take up to 12 hours to warm up, and NRG typically fires them up in the evening to be ready for the next day's power needs.
The new units are helping NRG replace less efficient steam boilers at El Segundo after nearly four decades of operation. Using roughly 30 percent less natural gas per megawatt than the old units it replaced, the system can generate enough electricity for more than 400,000 homes.
Tweaking the Tried and True
As renewable sources of energy like wind and solar begin to make up a larger portion of the power supply, providers are being challenged to ensure that electricity is always available when the wind doesn't gust as powerfully as expected or cloud cover crimps solar production. New or updated plants that can start, stop, or throttle up and down quickly and efficiently—all without breaking down or coughing up excess emissions—might hold one of the keys to accommodating these fluctuating renewables, says Debra Lew, a senior engineer for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory whose research focuses on integrating wind and solar into power systems. "This is what you're going to need in a high wind and solar future," she said. (See related blog post: "A Promising Outlook for Solar Energy Forecasting.")
At the same time, this type of power plant is not an entirely new class of technology that would require utilities to step far outside their comfort zones, notes Steven Minnihan, senior research analyst for the market research firm Lux Research. "Rather, Siemens has made noteworthy improvements on the tried-and-true combined-cycle gas turbine," Minnihan said. "They blend the familiarity and ease of conventional natural gas with some of the flexibility that an energy storage system can offer."
The system does not respond to fluctuating needs as quickly as emerging energy storage technologies, he said, which can capture wind energy generated at night, for example, and make it available as needed when demand picks up during the day. But "Siemens has familiarity on its side," Minnihan said. (See related story: "Too Much Wind? Save It in Underground Volcanic Rock Reservoirs.")
Siemens is not alone in promoting new gas turbines: Alstom, Mitsubishi and General Electric (GE) have all rolled out new generation systems in recent years with an emphasis on flexibility. All of them feature upgrades that go beyond the efficiencies of combined-cycle technology: By adjusting internal controls, improving specific components, and reworking architecture, manufacturers are aiming to provide fast-start turbines that can adjust output quickly without sacrificing performance.
"In the past, there was always a compromise between having highly efficient gas turbine combined-cycle plants, or very flexible gas turbine power plants," said James Donohue, senior marketing manager with GE Power & Water. "We really think that with this technology, you don't have to make that choice anymore."
The technology also addresses concerns that conventional plants' efficiency could be degraded by renewables, erasing the benefits of moving away from fossil fuel. "There had been some myths that had said emissions actually got worse because of cycling impact," said NREL's Lew, referring to the impact of ramping generators up and down to smooth out fluctuations in wind and solar. (See related story: "High Voltage DC Breakthrough Could Boost Renewable Energy.")
Her research with NREL suggests this is not the case in the West—the emissions avoided by harnessing solar and wind instead of burning fossil fuels more than make up for the efficiency lost by running a conventional plant at less than full throttle. But it remains true that utilities must cycle their plants more frequently to accommodate high levels of wind and solar energy, and that this results in some additional maintenance and operations costs.
Rising Intermittency, Changing Needs
Pressure to build a system where renewables and fossil fuels can complement one another on the grid is especially strong in California, where an ambitious mandate calls for renewables to make up at least one third of the total power supply by 2020. Similarly, New Jersey, which ranks behind California as one of the nation's top states for solar installations, recently broke ground on an $845 million, 700-megawatt natural gas facility in Woodbridge.
But new power plant designs like these can help to fill gaps well beyond the United States, too. "They represent an easy and cost-effective way to manage rising intermittency globally," said Minnihan. (See related story: "Japan Solar Energy Soars, But Grid Needs to Catch Up.")
GE, which is providing its FlexEfficiency turbines for the New Jersey facility, hoped to debut its technology in Turkey, touting it two years ago as a world first. That project is still caught in financing discussions, but another flex plant in France is moving forward and expected to come online by early 2016, around the same time as the Woodbridge plant.
Donohue said GE has also had orders for its flex turbines in South America, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. "Over the past several years, there's been more and more of a realization of the fact that with the intermittency of renewables, in order to have a reliable and stable grid, you need to have dispatchable power like combined-cycle power plants to make up for that intermittency," he said.
Donohue said GE is still selling plenty of conventional gas turbines as countries such as Algeria and Nigeria catch up technologically. "The largest order that we ever had in our business recently in Algeria was not [flex] technology. It's kind of an old standard machine that ten years ago was the machine in Europe," Donohue said. But as Algeria develops, he said, "I would bet that in five to ten years, they'll move to this FlexEfficiency technology." In other places, like China and Brazil, Donohue said, competition from coal has held back demand for flex gas plants.
Around the world, new power plants will play a key role in the integration of renewables onto the grid, but NREL's Lew pointed out that another important step will be adapting older power plants to meet society's changing needs. "There's a huge existing fleet out there that's still going to be used because it's been paid for or nearly paid for, and there might be some simple things that can be done to make them more flexible."
This story is part of a special series that explores energy issues. For more, visit The Great Energy Challenge.
The problems with renewable energy are technological as well as economical -
1) As it has been debated in many forums that harnessing wind power is little questionable. Energy consumed during the manufacturing of wind turbines and equipment is huge in comparison to the energy they produce. So it becomes arguable to correctly find out the ROI on the investment not only economically but energy wise also.
2)One of the other problems is fluctuation in generation of renewable electricity, it is necessary to make voltage and frequency suitable before injecting it into grid.
3) Gas fired combined cycle plants are good in conjunction with renewable resources to complement them but it is not new.
4) Companies like GE and SIEMENS are working on increasing the efficiency of the combined cycle plants. There also modifications possible to increase capacity by adding afterburners before HRSG in CCPP.
My point is not to criticize the efforts but to point out that it is also necessary to look into the current assets and improve their performance to save on already installed capacity. It is necessary to improve on renewable generation but i think still lot of years are in between today and complete dependency on renewable sources. Till that time we need to use non-renewable sources efficiently.
Arpit Kumar
It's known that renewable energy sources, like solar and wind just de-stabilize the grid due to unpredictable nature behavior. So, one of the ways is to create some kind of huge power storages. For, example, pump up water to higher altitude ponds with further power production by hydro turbines at high electricity demand periods. So named peak-power gas turbine power stations are also known for decades. What might be more prospective is to use more widely such renewable sources as different kinds of waste, starting from municipal solid waste to sewage sludge to produce synthesis gas with further power production in combined cycle gas turbines. Every year we generate about 250 million tons of municipal waste, which conversion into power could cover about 6% of the national power demand. Plus we have over 1,000 landfills with much more hidden energy. One more source – sewage sludge. Its annual amount just in the US is equivalent to about 50 million tons of low grade coal. Scrap tires, bio-mass, and other sources to list a few. I believe that before starting poisoning other planets we have to clean up the Earth. Approaches are also known, but still no commercially available industrial-scale waste to power technologies. Visit www.plasmacombustion.com to know more

News, Notes and Historical Information on the St. Louis Cardinals
[powered by WordPress.]
What an outing by Jeff Weaver. I was pretty skeptical when we picked him up but boy did he come through tonight. The only guy who could hit him was Sean Casey and he couldn't do it by himself.
The Cardinals got on the board first when David Eckstein singled home Yadier Molina in the second inning. In the top of the fourth, Sean Casey hit a two run shot to give the Tigers the lead, at least momentarily. Then in the bottom of the fourth, another error by a Tigers' pitcher directly resulted in one run and indirectely resulting in another. The Cardinals added a run in the seventh when Scott Rolen singled home David Eckstein with two outs, but that run turned out to be unneccesary.
The Tigers did make some noise in the ninth. The Tigers had runners at the corners with two outs but Adam Wainwright struck out Brandon Inge to end it. Jeff Weaver gave up the two runs on only four hits and a walk with nine strikeouts. Wainwright picked up the save with the shutout ninth.
How sweet it is. The Cardinals are World Series champions.
The Cardinals are now one win away from their first World Series since 1982. In the previous two wins, it was pitching that got us through. This time, not so much. We got some timely pitching but it was hardly a shutdown performance by Jeff Suppan.
David Eckstein was the man. He got the Cardinals on the board in the third inning with an RBI double. Then in the eighth, Eckstein doubled home Aaron Miles and that turned out to be the game winner. In all he had four hits and again he played some flawless defense.
This game definitely had it's share of weird plays and two of them came back to back in the seventh. David Eckstein doubled (his second of the three) when Curtis Granderson slipped on the wet grass. Based on what I've seen from Granderson, he makes this play under normal circumstances. Then So Taguchi lays down a bunt and reliever Fernando Rodney throws the ball away. Eckstein scored, Taguchi goes to second and Taguchi ended up giving the Cardinals their first lead later in the inning albeit briefly.
Jeff Suppan threw six solid innings. He gave up eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts. Adam Wainwright gave up the tying run but he buckled down after that and threw a good game and picked up the win.
Jeff Weaver has a chance to win this for us tonight. He'll be throwing against Justin Verlander.
Game four didn't happen as planned so they'll to get in game four tonight. It's not looking good though. If things get pushed back another day, Caprenter could throw as early as game six or even game five if he goes on short rest. This is huge. Although it also means we might be seeing Kenny Rogers sooner then we thought and he's been the Tigers hottest pitcher.
The Cardinals are back in front in this series because of eight great innings of three hit ball. Both he and Looper combined to throw only 93 pitches as the Tigers hacked away. This was a game I expected the Cardinals to win and had they not, I probably might have thought it was the beginning of the end. Now if Jeff Suppan can do his job tonight, the Cardinals could be one win away from winning it all.
The Cardinals big innings came in the fourth and seventh innings. In the fourth, Jim Edmonds drove home two runs with a bases loaded double to put the Cardinals on the board. Then in the seventh, with runners on first and second, Albert Pujols hit a comebacker to Joel Zumaya in what looked like a tailor made double play. Instead of going to second base, Zumaya went to third and threw the ball well behind the thirdbaseman (Inge) and two more runs scored. Even those two runs ended up being unneccesary though.
The Cardinals added one more insurance run in the eighth when So Taguchi made it home on a wild pitch. Looper came in to relieve Carpenter for the ninth and he picked up right where Carpenter left off and retired the Tigers in order.
Tonight's game will have Jeff Suppan throw against Jeremy Bonderman. There's no doubt this is a huge game. We can either let the Tigers back into this thing, or pretty much put them away.
Nobody said this would be easy. A lot of people are making a big deal out of Kenny Rogers brown substance on his hands, but the first inning was actually our best of eight innings against him because we actually got a runner to second base.
Jeff Weaver was only okay. He pitched out of a big jam in the fourth but he continually got into trouble. He went five innings and gave up three runs on nine hits and a walk.
The only inning worth mentioning was the ninth. The Cardinals finally saw someone other then Kenny Rogers and almost made Todd Jones pay. All with two outs, the Cardinals scored a run AND loaded up the bases. Yadier Molina couldn't come through again though so now we head to game three even at one game a piece.
It'll be Chris Carpenter going up against Nate Robertson on Tuesday. I like our chances.
This was a game even I was writing off. Anthony Reyes came in to pitch as a stop gap because of how long the Cards series went with the Mets and not only did he keep us in the game, he exceeded expectations. He ran into trouble in the first inning and gave up a run, but then he didn't give up a hit until the seventh inning. In all, the Tigers managed only four hits and a single walk. Not too bad for a rookie with a pretty poor ERA.
Scott Rolen answered the call in the second inning and he tied it up with a solo shot. Then a three run third busted this game open. The inning was capped off by a two run shot by Albert Pujols. The floodgates closed for a bit but in the sixth inning, the Cards scored three more runs to effectively finish things up.
It was somewhat of a sloppy game. Five errors between the two teams.
Tonight we'll see if Jeff Weaver can continue his post season success. He has some extra motivation because the Tigers were a team that traded him away. Kenny Rogers will throw for the Tigers and he hasn't given up a run in two post season starts. Then again, he hasn't faced Albert Pujols yet.
I'm going out to celebrate, but what a game. Look tomorrow morning for the recap.

yup http://www.siliconim...ay 2007.pdf.old
at least in 2007... wonder how much they cost now
looked around but could not find any website selling them
In this thread there's a guy that owns (or owned) an SI-2K and named that same price, but also said he saw the older models being sold a $4000 on eBay. I can't find any being sold right now.
Anyway, I was just curious.
I want the BMCC, really, though we have to wait, and I wanted to mention: if it had Cineform RAW as a recording format it would indeed be GREAT.

PwC whitepaper outlining how investors can seize distressed-company opportunities, including purchasing debts of distressed companies, providing financing to companies that lack bank options, utilizing a "loan-to-own" strategy, and buying assets via a section 363 process.
While the number of distressed businesses stays at or near record levels, investing in distressed will become an increasingly attractive option as the deal market stabilizes.
Private equity buyers have an advantage over corporate buyers in a distressed environment; it is usually more difficult for public companies to purchase distressed assets or companies because of investment constraints. This is particularly true given the funding, liquidity, and financial reporting challenges associated with distressed companies.

New business gas meter installation: what you need to know
In this guide, our metering expert, Heidi Procter, takes you through the information you'll need to tell us to set up the installation of a new gas meter for your business.

Do you have the Meter Point Reference Number (MPR/MPRN)?
If you have an MPR already, it will be on the connection paperwork from National Grid, or would have been sent to you separately. If you have moved into a premises with an existing supply, call XOSERVE on 0870 608 1524 to find out the MPR for the premises. If you do not have an MPR, you can contact National Grid and ask for one to be created for the supply.
Is this a new supply?
If you move into a premises with an existing supply, it will need be checked because it may have been disconnected. This means asking National Grid to perform a 'Live or Dead' check, which can be arranged by contacting them directly. The supply will also need a further check before installation, to determine the capacity of the supply and make sure it is adequate for your needs. This usually takes 15 working days to be completed.
When do you require a meter?
The process for having a gas meter installed is faster than an electricity installation. Upon agreeing a contract with a supplier, they will usually fit the meter in 5 working days. Therefore we advise as a minimum looking for a new quotation at least 2 weeks before you need the installation.
What are the maximum gas requirements?
This is typically stated as a maximum hourly load or annual load. It is the total amount of gas in KWH that your appliances could ever use in an hour. This can be obtained from a CORGI registered engineer or may have been advised by national grid. This can be provided in a number of different measurements e.g. KWH, BTU, cubic meters, cubic feet. You can also find this information by looking on the data badge on each appliance or in the manufacturer handbook and adding the totals together.
Does the meter need to be internal or external?
If the supply pipework enters the building, then the meter will be internally located. If the pipes terminate outside the premises, you will need an external meter. Suppliers are able to provide meter housing for this, but you may find that the distributor is already providing this.
What is the service pressure of the supply?
It will usually be Low or Medium Pressure, however it could be Intermediate or High Pressure. You will need to check with the pipework installer, as it will make a difference to any installation quotations you receive. The higher the pressure of the supply, the more expensive the meter will be. However, the cost of gas will remain the same, regardless of the pressure of the supply.
The phone number for National Grid General Enquiries is 0845 0700 203 (choose option 1).
Note: Make It Cheaper are always happy to help with business meter installations. However, for domestic meter installations, you'll have to contact your existing supplier or regional distributor
