"Winner of the 1995 National Book Award, Passing Through confirms that the venerable doyen of American poetry is still a poet in his prime."—Atlantic Monthly
Stanley Kunitz, one of the masters of contemporary poetry, presents his ninth collection, gathering a rich selection of his work, including new poems that remind us of his prefatory statement: "Art is the chalice into which we pour the wine of transcendence." Nearly all the poems of Kunitz's later years, beginning with The Testing-Tree (1971), are included, and most of the poems in Passing Through are unavailable in any other edition.

HyperPi 0.99
Version and / or Patch Used: 0.99
Developer Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
Product Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
Download It Here
HyperPi is a front end for SuperPi that allows for multiple concurrent instances of SuperPi to be run on each core recognized by the system. It is very dependent on CPU to memory to HDD speed. The faster these components, the faster it is able to figure out the number Pi to the selected length.
For our testing we use the 32M run. This means that each of the four physical and four logical cores for the i7 and the four physical cores of the i5 is trying to calculate the number Pi out to 32 million decimal places. Each "run" is a comparative to ensure accuracy and any stability or performance issues in the loop mentioned above will cause errors in calculation.
At stock you can see that our HyperPi score lines up with most of our other stock setups. When overclocked you can see a big boost in performance and really, it's not that far behind the boards that have another 150MHz on it.
Version and / or Patch Used: 2.55

AutoGK stands for Auto Gordian Knot; it is a suite of transcoding tools that are compiled into an easy to install and use utility. It allows you to transcode non-protected DVDs and other media to Xvid or Divx format. For our testing purposes we use a non-DRM restricted movie that is roughly 2 hours in length. This is transcoded to a single Xvid AVI at 100% quality.
Under AutoGK we see some good performance from the UD3H and its stock speed was a little quicker than some of our other setups. You can see how much time is shaved off the whole process when we overclock, though.

BOSTON, June 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Making changes to what you eat is difficult. Often the barrier to change is a preoccupation with specific choices: Can I have eggs for breakfast? Is oatmeal better than raisin bran? Individual choices are meaningful, but if they fit into a sound overall dietary pattern, there will be plenty of wiggle room, says the July issue of Harvard Men's Health Watch.
A report from Harvard's Health Professionals Follow-up Study examined the effect of dietary patterns, rather than individual foods, on men's health. The results: Men who ate a lot of red meat, processed meat, refined grains, and sweets were 64% more likely to develop heart disease than men with the most prudent diets.
The best diet features generous amounts of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, olive oil, and fish, says Harvard Men's Health Watch. A healthful diet is also low in saturated fat from meat and whole dairy products, trans fatty acids from fried foods and snack foods, salty foods, refined grains, and concentrated sweets. But that doesn't mean you have to eat spinach every day or turn down both hamburger and bun.
What should you do? Evaluate your current diet, then set goals based on the pattern that will keep you healthy, advises Harvard Men's Health Watch. Change slowly but steadily. By focusing on an overall pattern, you'll be able to find healthful foods you like. And you'll also be able to eat the less healthful foods that matter to you most -- as long as your portion sizes are reasonable and your overall dietary pattern is sound.
The bottom line: When it comes to diet, men who pay attention to the big picture can occasionally eat "bad" foods that they love.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Guest Opinion: The Obama Mandate is the Gravest Threat to Religious Freedom in 226 Years
By Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison
October 9th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) President Obama doesn't care what you think, so long as you join him in helping to destroy the unborn on demand. And help him by paying for it. The Virginia Statute of 1786 freed citizens from having to pay taxes to churches whose doctrines they disbelieved and whose worship practices they did not share. WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic online) - A liberal reporter speaking at a conference in Georgetown recently dismissed conservative alarms about the Obama administration's mandate that forces religious institutions--like Catholic Hospitals and Evangelical colleges--to provide coverage for drugs and procedures that can abortions and that effect sterilizations. ----- Ken Blackwell and Bob Morrison are senior fellows at the Family Research Council.

Here are a few rules that we require everyone to follow when livign in Texas, unfortunately some of them are not enforced as much as they should be:
- Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
- Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
- They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
- So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
- So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
- If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at! the time.
- Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
- The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
- We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
- No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
- When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce!! Oh, yeah, we don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat. IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio and real chili never met a bean!
- You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
- College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
- Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.
- Colleges? Try Texas Tech, Texas A&M or University of Texas They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.
- We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so 'Don't Mess with Texas .' If you do, you will get whupped by the best.
- Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: ' Texas can make it without the United States , but the United States can't make it without Texas !'
Now some of these we have exported to other Southern states, to be neighborly.

This is a refreshing change from the past 2 summers. Haven't been flirting with 100 degrees at all yet. If this rain keeps up, I won't have to worry about replacing our leaky hose or broken hose storage box (snapped the handle off Saturday) until next year. Kind of ironic in a good way, I finally got a bunch of tubs to collect serious amounts of rain water, and have had to dump it out a few times. It's hosting mosquito larvae faster than I need to use it, don't want to risk any of them maturing. Guess I need to put screens over the tubs, never occurred to me I'd have this problem, or even have any rain TO collect. The plants are loving this weather although I have to keep trucking potted succulents around so they don't get rained on every time. I haven't seen any true wilt on any plants since late last month. DH isn't crazy about having to mow so often, and I'm chasing grass vines out of beds constantly, going right over borders and up walls. Don't think the lawn will be going dormant this summer. We haven't been driving to swimming spots for relief nearly as often as previous Junes. All things considered, I'm going with thumbs up. What is your review on this summers' weather so far? |

Over 2" last night and this morning here, and still raining. It broke a bit so I went out to harvest veggies... boy, those are some fat cukes and zukes! |
While I've been working out of town, my grass has been growing taller and taller because of all the rain. Even with this four day weekend I probably won't get to mow the yard. Maybe next weekend? At least the neighbors seem to be in the same situation so they're not complaining . . . . yet. :) |

7.5" here as of last night and it looks like about another inch in the rain gauge this AM... and still raining. Indian Creek yesterday was in full flood, over the greenway and into the neighboring pastures. What a soggy July this is turning out to be. By the time it dries out enough to mow I'm going to need a scythe. |
By the time I get to mow I may need a Bush Hog and a hay baler. |

Over the w/e I saw two squirrels hoisting sandbags up their tree, but luckily the rain finally subsided. Not sure what I'm going to do with the extra money I usually have to give the water utility. Buy more plants, I suppose! |

"... squirrels hoisting sandbags up their tree..." Ha! When I walk in our yard, water squishes up over my feet, it's more like wading. Has anyone noticed how the ants are freaking out? They're invading everything above ground, marching around way more than usual. I saw standing water allll over the place yesterday, from Opp to Geneva, in fields, in yards, drainage ditches are small rivers. Here are some pics I took in Geneva, and just over the FL line. There was barely 1 lane in some places on this road, wouldn't want to try it in my car in the dark. It's usually perfectly flat, 2 lanes. The Chocktawhatchee river. The trees are NOT usually under water! |

Strong form at World Cup meets has prompted New Zealand selectors to send full complement of 11 riders to the track cycling world championships in Colombia this month.
Every member of the all-male team will capable of winning a medal at the meet in Cali starting on February 26, according to head coach Dayle Cheatley.
"The riders put their hands up with some quality performances at the World Cup competitions and in training to warrant selection," Cheatley said.
"We've qualified maximum quotas in all of our targeted events and want to do justice to these opportunities."
Five sprinters have been selected, comprising the London Olympic trio of bronze medallist Simon van Velthooven, Ethan Mitchell and Eddie Dawkins, plus Sam Webster and Matt Archibald, who will make his world championship debut.
There are six riders in the endurance team comprising London Olympic medallists Marc Ryan and omnium world champion Aaron Gate, along with World Cup teammates Pieter Bulling, Dylan Kennett and Olympic omnium rider Shane Archbold.
Outstanding form in the final World Cup in Mexico has earned Southland's Tom Scully his call-up.
The 23-year-old made an excellent return to the track at the Oceania Championships late last year and the recent World Cup in Mexico where he won the madison with Patrick Bevin and was second in the points race.
In the sprints, Southlander Dawkins was the top-ranked rider on the World Cup circuit and is currently ranked fifth in the world. Webster is ranked sixth and Archibald 16th.
The team sprint is ranked second while van Velthooven is ranked top of the 1000m time trial with Dawkins sixth in the keirin.
The final rider selection for specific events will take place just before the championships begin.
New Zealand: Endurance - Aaron Gate (Auckland), Dylan Kennett (Waimate), Marc Ryan (Timaru), Pieter Bulling (Invercargill), Shane Archbold (Timaru), Tom Scully (Invercargill). Sprint - Ethan Mitchell (Auckland), Eddie Dawkins (Invercargill), Sam Webster (Auckland), Matt Archibald (Invercargill), Simon van Velthooven (Feilding).

"The army bombarded several areas of the city and its suburbs and the fighting resulted in the deaths of dozens of soldiers and rebels," continued the NGO, which was not able at the moment to give an overview accurate. According to the OSDH and activists on the spot, army helicopters went into action to bomb rebel positions. Situated on the Euphrates, Raqa is a strategic town near the border with Turkey, where there were normally 240 000 inhabitants. But many of the displaced are moved there from the beginning of the conflict in Syria there are nearly two years.
The soldiers also bombed the nearby town of al-Sham Mouadamiya and Duma (northeast) and Yabroud (north), said the OSDH. Two weeks before the 2nd anniversary of the start of the conflict that, according to the UN, more than 70 000 dead, the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned that a military solution would result in a "dissolution" the country, reiterating his call for dialogue addressed to the opposition and power.

Oak Creek veterinary clinic wins rezoning recommendation
Plan Commission to consider measure
Oak Creek - The Plan Commission on Nov. 13 recommended rezoning the parcel at 8020 S. Howell Avenue, and the granting of a conditional-use permit, to allow the Animal Hospital and Veterinary Clinic to open shop there.
This recommendation is the first step for the city in setting up Oak Creek's third veterinary clinic. Two previous attempts to add a clinic have been shot down by the city.
The proposed clinic still has hurtles before it is fully approved. The site owners must now come before the Plan Commission in two weeks, where they'll discuss the city's conditions and restrictions for the new site.
The conditions the city plans on imposing are: forbidding outdoor cages and kennels, requiring adequate screening on the south side of the property and restrictions on boarding stays for animals.
Once the conditions and restrictions are passed by the Plan Commission, the entire package will be brought to a public hearing before the Common Council, likely on Dec. 18.
The rezoning of the lot is from a B-2 to a B-4. The city has four tiers of business (B) zones. The tiers run in ascending order by the amount of impact they will have on a neighborhood. A B-1, for example, would include a small neighborhood business that supports the immediate area. A sandwich or coffee shop would typically fall under a B-1.
The veterinary clinic would fall on the other end of the scale, being a B-4. A B-4 business could draw in highway traffic from out of the city, thus having a larger impact on neighboring residential land.
If the veterinary clinic is turned down in any of the steps, the land would remain zoned as a B-4. The city retains rights to rezone the property to a B-2 if it so chooses.
If a B-4 level business were to move in where the veterinary clinic is proposed, they have to go through a conditional-use permit application process.
The process for obtaining a conditional-use permit is what the proposed veterinary clinic is going through right now.
Jeff Fortin, city planner, said of the permit: "We can restrict hours of operation, lighting, things like that. It gives the city a great deal of control over how the land can be used."
A business from a lower-tier zone could move into the land, however, because the impact on neighboring residential lands would be less significant than the zoned area.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Analysis Type II
Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev will be traveling to Russia
August 9th to meet with Russian president Dmitri Medvedev change
tense - he's already there (meeting might even be over by now). Much
of the media coverage leading up to this visit has centered on
Russia's continuing efforts to negotiate a settlement to the
enduring conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed
region of Nagorno-Karabakh. But in reality, this is about Russia and
Azerbaijan seizing an opportunity to leverage the complex web of
geopolitical relationships in the Caucasus to further their own
larger agendas.
According to STRATFOR sources in Russia, tensions between the US and
Russia concerning several outstanding issues have flared recently
and the overall state of US-Russian relations is worsening. The
Caucasus is one area where Russia has the ability to push back
against the US in response to worsening relations. Azerbaijan has
its own reasons for wanting to apply a little pressure to the US and
helping Moscow with its agenda.
Russia's motivations
Despite a few areas of limited cooperation, Russia is growing
frustrated with the US over several issues - ballistic missile
defense plans, US moves in Europe and most recently what Moscow
perceives as an anti-Russian agenda in the US Congress this past
July 26 - The US senate passed legislation blacklisting visas for
some 60 Russian officials accused of being involved with the death
of lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky.
July 28 - The CIA delivered a report to Congress accusing Russia of
being behind of series of bombing in Georgia last year, including an
attempted bombing of the US embassy in Georgia.
July 29 - The Senate passed a resolution calling for Moscow to
withdraw its troops from South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
While these most recent moves have been promulgated by Congress, and
are not necessarily would cut necessarily - they are not
representative of the White House or the Obama Administration's
sentiments, Russia is beginning to worry that with election season
in the US around the corner there is a very real chance that certain
politicians well the Republicans in general, no? I know the
Russians think that Repulbicans are more anti-Russian in general,
but I would rather stay away from stating that explicitly. I think
Republicans is an overgeneralization. Their biggest concern is with
Senator Kyl specifically, but George doesn't want us getting that
low-level with domestic politics. with a much stronger anti-Russian
perspective could be gainer even more power to push their agendas.
Azerbaijan's motivations
As a whole, US-Azerbaijani relations are problematic. would cut the
second - sounds subjective, or explain what you mean. The US has an
extremely large and influential Armenian lobby, which at times can
lead the US to support Armenian interests over Azerbaijani interests
- such as the US's continued weapons embargo against Azerbaijan.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US invested
significant amounts of money in financing and constructing
Azerbaijan's energy industry. Although distractions from the war on
terrorism and the Islamic world have meant in large part a
withdrawal of the US focus from Azerbaijan since its peak in the
1990s, the amount of investment it has put into the region means
that the US would like to have its say in the future of Caucasus's
develops. this is driven not by investment but by US geopolitical
interestest (the former being a product of the latter) I would argue
that's not what we say in the Caucasus book. Yes, the US has
geopolitical interests in the Causcasus like it does pretty much
everywhere as the global power, but the only major period of US
involvement in the Caucasus was when all the other major powers that
have an interest there were weak and absent. We says specifically
that the Caucasus stands out among regions because there was no
overridding reason for US efforts to involve itself there. What I am
saying is that US invested into the region out of geopolitical
interests - its geopolitical interests didn't result from this
investment, they were the driver behind it
Today with Russia's resurgence in full swing, the US would like to
see Azerbaijan play a critical role in developing alternative
sources of producing and transporting oil and natural gas to
European markets and, thus, lessening Russia's political leverage
over the US's European allies. An agreement between Russia and
Azerbaijan that led to Azerbaijan to focus on developing energy
projects that don't cut into Russia's energy dominance in Europe
would certainly be a blow to US interests in the region. Russia has
an interest in knowing Azerbaijan's position on its upcoming energy
talks with Turkey - another major player that is key to the future
development of the region's energy sector. Russia knows that even
though it is unlikely to be able to influence Azerbaijan's future
plans for energy development with Turkey, both Moscow and Baku
benefit in their negotiations with other players in the region by
suggesting that such cooperation is possible.
By underscoring its relationship with Azerbaijan, Moscow can remind
the US that it too has influence over states in the Caucasus and
that any majorly aggressive moves by the US in its relationship with
Georgia will not go unanswered by Russia.
Russia has an interest in knowing Azerbaijan's position on its
upcoming energy talks with Turkey - another major player that is key
to the future development of the region's energy sector. Russia
knows that even though it is unlikely to be able to influence
Azerbaijan's future plans for energy development with Turkey, both
Moscow and Baku benefit in their negotiations with other players in
the region by suggesting that such cooperation is possible. ok this
part should go 2 graphs above where this is mentioned vaguely
Both Russia and Azerbaijan see an opportunity to send a message to
the US as a reminder that the possibility of cooperation between the
two - at the expense of US interests - always exists. Ultimately,
the meeting of Medvedev and Aliyev in South isn't about furthering
any specific political or economic deals between Russia and
Azerbaijan; it is about both countries leveraging the complex web of
geopolitical relations in the Caucasus to enhance their positions
both inside and outside the region.

FinTazTic Sportfishing's captain pilots a true oceanic fishing vessel, with rods, reels, and lines sprouting from every part of the ship. He leads charter clients into Atlantic waters for full-day pursuits of whatever fish are biting, or he heads to deeper waters in pursuit of specialized prey such as tuna or shark. He often comes home with a giant specimen to show for his efforts, a haul which he likes to celebrate with a cookout after the charter journey, where he grills up lobsters and deep fries the salty sea air.
Hiroshi Powell noticed he had a knack for weightlifting, so he swapped the weight machine in his mom's basement for a membership at a pro-level facility. There, Hiroshi began training with national powerlifting champions, learning the secrets of their technique while building friendships and cultivating his own carreers in powerlifting and bodybuilding.
The seriousness with which Hiroshi threw himself at his goals, and immersed himself in the fitness field, informs his approach as founder-owner of Chiseled Health and Fitness. "Chiseled," he says, "is not a social club or [a] cookie cutter commercial gym. Those are great for some folks, but not everyone." In place of the hundred-pound rubber chickens dead lifters find at other gyms, guests at Chiseled find a facility fully stocked with professional weight training and cardio essentials. Accented with red trim, the facility's white walls, black mats, and glossy hardwood floors offer a non-distracting environment in which Hiroshi and his three fellow personal trainers customize clients' workouts. Members also complete self-guided routines, and take CrossFit classes.
With an inventory of gear that runs the gamut from rods and reels to fishing apparel and fish mounts, Tackle U.S. specializes in all things fishing. Whatever their chosen aquatic venue, fishermen can stock up on gear that will increase their odds of reeling in a trophy fish. The shop lines its shelves with products from more than 100 brands, including top industry brands such as Penn, Power Pro, and Shimano.
Nestled between the Delaware River and the Appalachian foothills, the Delaware River Family Campground provides a scenic gathering place for all kinds of adventures. Campground organizers rent out rafts, canoes, kayaks and tubes in which customers can use to explore the various waterways of the river. They stock an on-site camp store with plenty of supplies to cook meals, make overnight stays more comfortable, or fuel a hike on the Appalachian Trail.
Delaware River Family Campground offers a few more entertainments outside the local natural splendor, too. There is a swimming pool and kiddie pool. Basketball and volleyball courts are also on the campground, and a miniature golf course and game room offer a more low-key variety of fun. The grounds even supply visitors with free cable television for those who haven't figured out how to receive television signals directly to their minds.
In the summer, Captain Don Cartwright migrates from Florida to New Jersey to captain fishing trips off Sandy Hook and Raritan Bays aboard his 35-foot boat, the Bill Chaser. Cartwright, who has a US Coast Guard master's license and more than 20 years of fishing experience, helps groups hook everything from striped bass and bluefish to larger catches such as bluefin tuna and shark.

Head Games: What Will It Take to Get Big League Pitchers to Wear Helmets?
- |
- 1:30 pm |
- Permalink
This seems to aptly describe big leaguers' feelings about the McCarthy situation, as well. McCarthy himself said he doesn't "want to be reactionary." While the incident inspired widespread concern for the pitcher's well-being among his major league colleagues, few appear willing to take subsequent action.
"We all step on the field assuming certain risks, one of them being line drives to the head," said Colorado Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis.
"[The idea of a pitcher's helmet] is intriguing," said San Francisco Giants reliever Javier Lopez, "but I don't know if I would be the guy to launch the trend."
"Maybe if you want to make [a pitcher's helmet] something that's an option, great," said Lopez's teammate, Jeremy Affeldt. "But a mandatory thing? No way."
Members of the Pittsburgh Pirates felt much the same way in the early 1950s, after team executive Charlie Muse was tapped by Pittsburgh's general manager, Branch Rickey, to design what would become the first true batting helmet — a plastic shell with a sponge rubber inner band. Rickey was so enamored of the device — designed to replace the then-ubiquitous thin plastic cap liners that batters used for protection at the plate — and so convinced of its necessity, that in 1953 he had every player on his team wear one at the plate and in the field. (It didn't hurt that Rickey owned the company that manufactured them.) It's not unrealistic to claim that there has never been a better-protected pitching staff, a fact that didn't keep its members, or their teammates, from open revolt.
"We hated [the helmets]," catcher Joe Garagiola said in a New York Times account. "Guys on other teams would make fun of us."
So did the media. The headwear was widely derided in newspaper accounts as resembling things miners would wear, and United Press referred to them as "space helmets." Fans took to bouncing marbles off players' heads. The chorus grew so loud, particularly from his own clubhouse, that Rickey eventually scaled back his mandate to include only players at bat. Regardless, before long, players around the league — Adcock included — were making steady use of the helmets.
Could a pitcher's helmet eventually earn similar support? Players may be reluctant, but there's at least one man in the big leagues willing to throw his full-throated support behind such a device.
"Pitcher safety is a wonderful subject matter," said Rockies manager Jim Tracy. "There are people in this league who hit balls back through the middle that, if one of them clips a pitcher, it's going to do some serious damage."
Tracy speaks from experience. In August 2011, one of his pitchers, right-hander Juan Nicasio, was knocked unconscious by a line drive that hit him in the temple. He fell headfirst onto the mound, fracturing his skull and breaking vertebrae in his neck. He missed the rest of the season.
In 2002, when Tracy was managing the Dodgers, Los Angeles pitcher Kaz Ishii was felled by a comebacker that ricocheted off his forehead, resulting in surgery to remove bone chips from his nasal passage. He, too, would be out for the year.
"I've seen my fair share of this," said the manager. "To see it up close and personal is devastating — life gets sucked out of you…. To see a guy laying there, kicking at the dirt, face down in puddle of blood, or Juan Nicasio laying on his side, seeing his fingers twitching as you're running toward him — that's really scary stuff."
McCarthy has tried on a prototype pitcher's helmet that was so uncomfortable, he said, that "it may as well have been a virtual reality helmet." While the right-hander remains open to the possibility that the right device may come along someday — one that's lightweight and unobtrusive and not only comfortable but nearly undetectable — he's quick to note that it's not here yet. Until it is, he wants no part of whatever it is a manufacturer might be offering.
Which is to be expected. Ted Williams, after all, steadfastly refused to wear a batting helmet, even as he saw the benefit they provided to teammates and opponents alike. His reasoning: He was against anything that could potentially interfere with his supreme concentration when it came time to hit a baseball. Pitchers are much the same way, but minds can always be changed.
"When we get the product right, we can imagine that early adopter, that key influencer coming from Major League Baseball," said Easton's Zimmerman. "That is one of those bonfire moments where an idea can spread. And that's what we really want to happen."

Decor by the Book
A literary agent enlists a young design firm to update her Park Avenue apartment
By Julia Reed
Enter Courtney Coleman and Bill Brockschmidt. Coleman had worked for designer David Easton and done some freelance projects for Tarlow. Not long after Nesbit got in touch, Coleman established a design firm with Brockschmidt. Trained as architects, they were the perfect team for the job. The new apartment—in a prewar Park Avenue building down the street from Nesbit's offices—was in serious need of renovation. "It had been decorated a long time ago by Parish-Hadley, so it still had some charming touches," Coleman says. But these weren't part of Nesbit's vision. "She wanted a clean, loftlike space."
To that end, Nesbit arranged for Coleman and Brockschmidt to visit the nearby apartment of fashion designer Bill Blass, whose spare and finely curated space had become something of a design-world shrine. "Everybody in our field was influenced by that apartment's sculptural take on furniture, how you could really see the art," Coleman says, adding that the taste and aesthetics of Tarlow and Blass were great influences on Nesbit's project. But there were other considerations as well.
Nesbit kept only a couple of pieces from her former space (including a tufted chair that once belonged to Gypsy Rose Lee), but the designers still had to find room for what Coleman calls "acres of books." Since Nesbit is renowned for her frequent dinner parties, ample space for entertaining was a must. The solution was to reconfigure the living room to create a library by day and party space by night. Floor-to-ceiling bookcases were installed. Two library tables were designed with extra leaves, so they could be transformed into a single table for 24, an idea inspired by Blass's pair of large Parsons tables.
"A big part of our work was figuring out the logistics of different types of parties," says Coleman. She and Brockschmidt designed airy brass table lamps that don't hinder conversation. In the powder room, the shower was transformed into a storage closet, where Nesbit stashes the chic green folding chairs she had commissioned in India while attending the wedding of the son of Knopf editor in chief Sonny Mehta.

Spirit in Practice
Workshop 2
Leader Resource 2
I invite you to close your eyes. Breathe in and breathe out, slowly and gently. Bring quiet to your mind—gently bring stillness to your thoughts, to that sometimes racing internal monologue. Prepare yourself to find a stillness—to hear "a still small voice" or "a voice of quiet stillness" within.
While in this quiet place, allow the thought of a person you know very well—someone you know and love—to come into your consciousness. Do not force it. Allow it to come on its own. This person can be living or long gone.
And when someone comes to mind, don't hang on to them. Let the thought of this person quietly flow on, just as you're letting thoughts about other things flow out on the current of your breathing.
Other people may come to mind. Or one may just keep coming back. Either way, do not become attached to any of the thoughts, but notice if there are any which have particular energy.
Eventually the thought of one person should distill out and you'll realize that this is who you want to pray for.
Now ask—God, your higher power, your own inner knowing—what it is you should be praying for. You might "hear" words; you might become aware of a feeling; you might get an idea for something you should do. Whatever it is, notice it, but don't hold on to it too tightly. Keep returning to your quiet breathing.
Pray that prayer. You can say "This is what I wish for you," "This is what I pray for you," "This is what I hope for," or any other words that feel genuine to you. Focus on your intentions and hopes for this person, allowing yourself to feel all the emotions that come with your intentions and hopes.
[Allow two minutes of silence.]
I now invite you to repeat the same process, this time thinking of a person you don't know well.
Allow the thought of a person you don't know very well to come into your consciousness. Do not force it. Allow it to come on its own.
I now invite you to repeat the same process, this time thinking of a person you are in conflict with. This can be someone who is close to you or someone you know only from afar.
Allow the thought of a person you are in conflict with to come into your consciousness. Do not force it. Allow it to come on its own.
[After two minutes, sound the bell.]
I invite you to slowly open your eyes and return your attention to our group.

Tag: savings
At Warmup, one of our goals is to make your house the most energy-efficient possible in order for you to save on your energy bills. That's why we strive to provide you with the best innovative heating products.
As green living becomes the best solution for the environment and future generations, you can also save money while choosing eco-friendly solutions. Green Building Elements lists them in a very interesting article to show you how to cut down on energy costs and get great tips on the top green technologies. After reading this post, we would like to focus on these two very important points:
Insulation Properly insulating the home is the first way to reduce energy costs. (…)
Thermostat In the meantime, work with what you already have as a heat source and improve upon it. Simply invest in a good thermostat and set the programming for several degrees lower when everyone is at work or school, and when everyone is asleep. Set it to warmer temperatures, about a half hour before returning home, or when family members are scheduled to wake up. This practice can save you about 10 percent on your heating bill.
By following just these 2 action items, you can already save a lot of energy! For instance, using Warmup insulation boards on your subfloors can help you save up to 60-70% on heat loss to the concrete slab. And with our new energy-monitoring thermostat, you'll be able to save up to 15% on your energy bills. Combined togeher, your savings total 50%!
This winter, if you want to keep your house really warm and comfortable while saving some money, contact Warmup!

I planted a pomegranate tree in my backyard in Houston six years ago. At first it would produce one or two fruits a season and they never reached the ripe stage (usually white inside). But this year, it produced a truly nice big crop! I picked most of it today (many pomegranates have fallen and are rotting on the ground, but there are still plenty left). What concerns me, however, is that the tree seems to have lost most of its normal foliage. Basically it looked like a bunch of sticks with big red fruits hanging on it now. The neighbor's tree on the other side of the fence has great foliage, but no fruit. Is this normal? I have done searches online, but have not come up with any good results. Please help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, it's not normal. Talk to the folks at your county's university Extension Service office. Use this map to locate them: |

Yeah, leave drop before winter is a bad thing. Can you describe what the leaves looked like before they dropped? |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness FL (My Page) on Sun, Sep 15, 13 at 11:27
On some plants if they are allowed to over crop they will literally suck the energy out of the plant to ripen that fruit.....it is always a good idea to manage your plants so they produce within their means. |
This post was edited by bamboo_rabbit on Sun, Sep 15, 13 at 21:49
Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. I believe that the foliage loss was due to over-cropping. You see, I have no experience with pomegranates and this young tree only produced one or two pitiful fruits in the past years. I was really excited to see it covered with blooms in the spring. Why I think it's probably over-cropping is that the foliage loss is mainly limited to the branches bearing fruit. The other ones (mainly on top) have healthy green foliage. So what should I do not to let this happen again? Should I pick off some of the flowers in the future? How about pruning the tree? |
Pomegranates fruit on the tips of new wood, they don't cluster like blueberries or fruit inches apart on the length of a stem. I'm not aware of pom fruit needing to be thinned or of the tree over-bearing. That's not to say that it isn't somehow possible. I sometimes cull smaller fruits that probably won't size up enough to be worth keeping, but that's about it. My money would be on some other cause of your leaf drop --such as over/under watering, pest or disease pressure. |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness FL (My Page) on Mon, Sep 16, 13 at 8:01
It did have a few clusters like the one in the picture :) Mrclint, I think you've nailed it -- there was over-watering, to be specific, on one occasion in late July I forgot to turn off the hose for six hours and the tree got soaked. The ground was wet and soggy for days. Likely this was a contributing or even the main factor to the loss of leaves. Thanks again to everyone for your extremely helpful replies! |
Yes, doubles and triples do occur. They are the exceptions that prove the rule. Some varieties are more prone to it than others. My Angel Red has a couple of doubles on it as we speak. They are on the tips of new wood and do not need to be thinned nor do they cause the tree to over-bear. Enjoy! :) |

Who would have thunk it?!
After going missing for quite a long time, the prodigal duck has returned.....with (13) ducklings in tow. AMAZING!!
I told the family that she had most likely succumbed to the marauding pack of coyotes hitting my farm daily. There was always the chance that she had a nest somewhere, but it was more likely she had been lunch for some furry predator. The coyotes have become so brash as to raid the farm in broad daylight. Lost a teenage bantam at 8:15 this morning. I startled the coyotes, but not before they could snatch a mouthfull on the way out.
Anyways, about the time I was tripping through the underbrush, I noticed something tiny out of the corner of my eye. Low and behold...there were thirteen little tiny things, with a very loud and demanding mother. Guess she thought it was time to introduce the babes to all of their Aunts, Uncles, and Daddy. What a sight to behold.
Now I know that I'm going to spend quite a few hours this evening, rounding them all up....but that's the only way to keep them safe. A chicken tractor awaits. I just don't now what I'm going to do with the current tenants.
Isn't nature amazing?

Top 10 Romantic Getaways
Santorini, Greece
Some may think island romance is overrated, but then they've probably never been to Santorini. The most visually stunning of all the Greek Cyclades, this beguiling spot has all the trappings of a dream vacation: Postcard-perfect cliffside villages with picturesque white-washed and royal blue-roofed buildings, exotic black-sand volcanic beaches, transcendent sunsets, luxurious cave-rock hotels, dramatic striated red-and-gray cliffs stretching to the sky, and the Aegean's finest wineries. Built atop volcanic ashes – on the ruins of what some theorize to be the lost city of Atlantis – the island's impressive physical characteristics like the jagged cliffs, dark volcanic rock, and crescent shape carved out by the sea, are manifestations of its eruptive history. Roam the hilly streets in Oia, window shop at one of the many local artisan shops, and be sure you don't miss the world-famous sunset.

(hit "refresh" to get the most recent version of this page; click on photos for larger images)
The first Burger Chef opened in Indianapolis, IN in 1958. By the 1960s, there were locations in 38 states and, by 1969, there were 1,000 locations. But in the 1970s, under the ownership of General Foods, the company went into decline. Many became Hardee's outlets, some became Mr. Cook restaurants. The last operating Burger Chef closed in 1996. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. |

Tomato Thyme upgrades packing line
To ensure safer handling of its tomatoes, Tomato Thyme Corp., Wimauma, has completely enclosed its packing operations.
The climate-controlled building keeps product under refrigeration from arrival, during precooling, cleaning, handling and packaging until loading in the truck, said Michael Lacey, director of sales and marketing.
In other news, to help extend the sales of the Tasti-Lee tomatoes it sells Tomato Thyme created Tasti-Lee salsa.
Distributed by its White Diamond Farms processing division, Lacey said it makes sense to offer another Tasti-Lee-branded product that shoppers enjoy.

Secret Swan
I am going backpacking in a few days and am planning on pasta and meat (from one of those tuna packets or chorizo) for dinner. I have a big bag of brown rice pasta that I was planning to use because it says on the package you can cook it by boiling for two minutes then turning off the stove, covering it, and letting it sit for 12 minutes. I made a serving tonight to test this and it was great! Perfect for not heating up the kitchen, too. But I decided that while the portion was ample for my dinner tonight, on the trail where dinner is my main meal I will want more, which leaves me one dinner short in my planning after doubling the portion. So I was going to buy more, but I almost never eat pasta, so I was thinking of using some regular pasta that I already have. Can I cook it the same way? Stopping the boiling after two minutes? Does anyone know?

She currently lives in Tempe, Arizona. Pérez blends various Latin American vocal traditions and engages deeply personal stories as well as global politics in her music. She has particular mastery of decima (a complex Latin American vocal style of singing and improvisation) and Puerto Rican trova. She has recorded six albums of music and is equally committed to performing in community, national, and international settings. Her immediate plans are to finish converting her mother's stories into decimas and seis, composing music for these songs and recording them. She is also earning a master's in educational technology from the University of Texas at Brownsville, which is allowing her to develop new techniques for Web casting and Web education.

Pakistan Re-Opens NATO Supply Crossing
October 10th, 2010
Just a quick question for Pakistan. Will you be compensating NATO for the 150 supply tankers that got blown up and provide for the families of the drivers killed when you facilitated an all-out Taliban assault on our supply lines? No? OK. Just checking.
Pakistan: the most worthless, treacherous ally money can buy.
