West Ham United are delighted to announce the signing of striker Frank Nouble from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.
With several clubs keen on securing his services after he turned down a contract at Stamford Bridge this summer, Nouble said he had no hesitation in deciding to join the Hammers on a five-year deal. He passed a medical on Tuesday afternoon before putting pen to paper at the Boleyn Ground. He could make his debut when a West Ham XI take on Thurrock this Friday evening.
Speaking to whufc.com, he said: "It is a great day for me and my family. I am just excited now to get started at this club. I am really looking forward to showing what I can do. West Ham are renowned for bringing through young players and hopefully I can be in the next batch.
"This came out of the blue. The news came out that I rejected at Chelsea and obviously I thank them for what they have done for me but I am just happy that a club like West Ham came in for me. They showed their interest and for me it was a case of saying 'Yes' straight away. I am just happy to be here."
Nouble added that he had high hopes of impressing the manager and Steve Clarke, who he had worked with at Chelsea. "I am reaching the age where I want to be in and around the first team more than anything - learning from the big players that have done really well here. Mark Noble, Carlton Cole and players like that. I want to emulate what they have done.
"I am an attacking player. I am tall and rely on my pace and getting goals. I just want to do well up front and excite the fans."
A former England Under-17 international, the powerful and speedy forward was Chelsea's leading scorer in the FA Premier Academy League last season, netting 12 times in 20 appearances, including a hat-trick against Fulham.
Nouble, who had been with Chelsea since the age of eleven, also scored twice in ten Barclays Premier Reserve League games in 2008/09, while he added a stunning further strike in the FA Youth Cup victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford in November.
The striker, who turns 18 in September, ended last season training under Guus Hiddink alongside the likes of Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka with Chelsea's first-team squad.
West Ham United CEO Scott Duxbury said: "I am very pleased to be able to welcome Frank to West Ham where he will have the opportunity to compete for a place in Gianfranco's first-team squad. He has a very bright future and we will give him every chance to succeed. This is an excellent signing for the club.
"I can also assure fans we are concentrating on adding more quality to our attack to complement those we already have. This is an extremely busy time of the year and Gianluca Nani and I are working hard to bring in the players that Gianfranco feels will improve his squad for the new season."
Nouble was already well known to Zola and Clarke and not just because of his Chelsea connection. The forward scored twice against West Ham last season, notching in Chelsea's 4-3 reserve defeat by the Hammers in December, as well as the Blues' 4-2 Academy win at Little Heath last October.
He scored six U18 goals in 2007/08, making his debut for Chelsea's reserve team in November 2007. He became a full-time scholar at Stamford Bridge in June 2008.

Good day. I though it might be nice to be able to tell gnap_make which tempdir to use. I can think of 2 scenarios where this will make sense: - /tmp does not have that much space and the portage snapshot/the overlays are big. At the moment overlays are rsynced (or something like that) over the portage snapshot, therefore the snapshot is unpacked into /tmp and this might be very very big. My patch enables the user to use /var/tmp or whatever instead. - For debugging and development purposes, it might be interesting to use catalyst directly. A reason for that might be that more advanced festures are wanted and gnap_make does not support them yet. In future versions of gnap i'd also like to have better support for resume (possibly reuse of the TEMPDIR) and something like a no- cleanup flag (since the tempdir is deleted after gnap_make). I'll look into that, soon. This patch was made after a not that small change in the generl structure of gnap_make, i will try to send those patches today.

This is our second year planting garlic. Each year we have had a good crop. The first year it kept just fine. This year the outside cloves seem to be pulling away from the head. I think it's because we left them outside to cure and it was quite hot. Would that cause this? Should we have moved them into the shed instead? They were put on a wagon under shade cloth. Also would it be better to plant a cover crop between the rows next year? The spot we plant it is clay that has been amended but we're still working on it. Any advice? Marg |
Follow-Up Postings:
I doubt the splitting is due to the heat. Unless it got wet after digging I think it's because you harvested a bit late. Sometimes the garlic won't show it at harvest, but will do it while curing. It sounds like you're planting garlic in the same spot as last season. That's a recipe for disaster. You really need to find a spot to rotate it each year, not planting in the same area for at least 2 years, preferably 4. Garlic diseases creep up and can cause serious problems if you don't rotate properly. As far as cover cropping, I think it's a great idea unless it'll interfere with the garlic. -Mark |
I agree with Madroneb.; Harvested too late. You need to have some minimum of green leaves, to dry up after harvest to make some strong wraps. |
Thanks for the information. We do practice crop rotation and each year so far we have planted the garlic in a new spot. Now we have a larger area that has better soil so we're going to plant there next year. Since we laid the garlic on the wagon with just a shade cloth over it, it probably did get wet. Next year we will put it in the shed. It is very windy and the sun is very strong here, the garlic leaves are usually dried up by mid June and we don't harvest until the end of July. Is that to late? |
Yes, once the leaves are dried up it is too late for harvest. The recommendation (and what has worked best for me) is to harvest when 4 or so of the bottom leaves are dry, but the top 5 or so leaves are still green. Then cure out of the sun (not just under a shade cloth) and out of the rain -- your shed sounds perfect, as long as the sunshine doesn't get in. Store in a dry place. Come spring, make sure it's in a dark place so it doesn't get any ideas about sprouting.(I braid mine and hang in a closet) I've harvested late before, and cured under a shade cloth in the sun, and ended up with garlic that was dried up before the next crop came in. Done as above, my garlic is still fresh when the next harvest comes in. |

Brrr, where did this cold come from. I hope they revise the temps up tomorrow or I will need to drag my big brug and bougies back into the greenhouse...and drag big pots of kumquats around the side of the house. c |

Thanks for the heads up. We are forcasted for 30 Monday night ! Yikes, I have some plants to move. Maybe if I blink, they will go away. |
Yep, Cynthia, MN isn't through with us yet............I am certain I will have two mornings of a light freeze, but I haven't moved things out as yet so all I have to do is turn the heater in the greenhouse on. Hopefully, this will be our Easter snap and we can get on with gardening "our way" after this. |

Carrie I read the temps and could hear you and others in the back of my mind saying, yes there is still more cold likely...even though the 10 day forecasts said it wasn't so until yesterday. Hmmm, someone here advised to wait for the pecan trees to start to leaf out. That would have been wise. I hope it holds at 33, where I live, we usually stay a few degrees higher than the projected low. But if they drop it to 31 I'm hauling things around....again |
- Posted by wantonamara 8bTx (My Page) on Sun, Mar 24, 13 at 10:15
The Pecan and mesquite have leafed out here and Weare projected to slip to 30. |
Us too. Our mesquites leafed out last week. The pecans just broke bud. We have a garden loaded with blooms and fruit. I'm sick we'll lose it all. Why is Mother Nature so cruel? If its not freeze, then it's terrible drought or flash flood,hail, or hurendous high winds. Then in the summer we deal with nasty grasshoppers very hot temps, no cool air til fall, wind that feels like a furnace. Ahhhhhh, welcome to paradise. Well, we bloom where we are planted. Even in this diversity, it's still better than the poor folks up north that have 9 months of shoveling snow. Augh! That can't be fun. Lets just pray we don't stay at freezing very long. An hour or so won't play havoc, but we do have 2 nights of it to get through. I'll bet next week we will be begging for cool again. I'm so not ready for the summer heat in the early spring. |
I'm going to have to remember to cover my tomatoes & peppers, and hope that works. And if planting them this early doesn't result in an increased yield like the guy at NHG told me, I'm going back to planting them in pots 1st. |

I have always used Easter weekend as last real cold spell. We used to spend Easter weekend at our cabin at Possum Kingdom. Sunrise service was either in shorts and a t or full polar fleece! Come on spring. Misti..aka plantlady |

There is now an official freeze warning for all of north and central TX for tonight and tomorrow night. :-( |
Sorry about the freeze coming for some parts of Texas, especially after all the warm weather you've enjoyed. Looks like San Antonio and Austin are being spared. High 30's predicted for S. A. tonight and 35 for Austin. Just a degree or two lower is predicted for Monday night. It's not too pleasant outside right now; 61 and sunny, but wind gusts up to 25 mph.. |

I noticed that this morning was rather chilly. I never even checked weather forecast. I walked out of the door this morning for a walk with my dog in shorts and t-shirt and had to walk back in and put on sweatpant and jacket... That's in Spicewood. Everything are growing now. Some of trees have already grown half foot already. |
You know you're a tomato nerd when you take perfectly good blankets from the house and wrap your little babies. That would be me this afternoon. I had planted half of mine, but held back the rest not knowing what MN would have in store for us. Pulled in my citrus trees to the covered porch too. Luckily here in DFW it's only forecast for very light frost. Besides the 'maters and citrus, everything else is going to have to buck up and deal with it. :) |
It is 28 at my house this morning with a thin layer of ice on the bird baths..............hopefully, won't stay at the freezing mark long. |

Got to 33° in my backyard in Mesquite this morning, but it is supposed to be even colder tonight. I will cover everything tonight. Ugh. |

33 here west of Austin. |
Crepe myrtle icicles on the north side of the house and mid-30s on the south side where the pool equipment is located. Strange first week of spring - with more of the same expected tonight near Addison. |

Negative Arctic Oscillation has the Beauford Gyre rotating madly and Breaking up, and strong storms racing around pushing arctic air into the mid latitudes all over the globe. -30C in germany , - 15C in England storms . It is 9 degrees warmer than normal up there on top of the world. This might all be the effect of the Barrycentric Wobble of the sun that happens once every 187 years. How about that for the big picture. LOL. It could just be a bunch of un related factoids too. Stay warm. |
It pissed me off so much seeing temperatures almost 90 a couple of weeks ago then this!. I had to drag back in ALL of my tender plants back into the bedroom. Maybe this will end ever so soon! |
My dearest husband braved the cold last night to rescue a bucket of bareroot roses I left out. I came downstairs this morning to find every single pot from outside in my kitchen. Including two giant blueberry bushes. But not the bucket of roses, which he apparently forgot! Made me smile to see all those blueberry flowers this morning. :) |

Don't know how cold it really got near my brothers house but the tomatoes were fine and I didn't lose one plant to wilt. |
Some of the new leaves on a hydrangea were wilty but so far everything looks pretty good. For once, my procrastination about moving the tropicals out has paid off :-) |

Lost report...not too bad. Lost new leaves on my new Black Tulip tree, lost he new surviving growth on an own root lemon tree that rats had stripped this winter, lost leaves on brugs and some boogies, but managed to cover the big lemon tree and smaller ones. Lost two newly planted little peppers right next to others that weren't phased. I did manage to strain muscled dragging the bigger pots into a little "grove" protected from the west wind. The forecast for the next 10 days looks good...but I think I've said that twice before. |

30 in Conroe this morning and only 55 for a high on the island yesterday. The big pecan tree has not shown any signs of life yet but the smalller ones have been in full leaf for a month. Everything else is up and blooming. The pecan tree rarely fails in weather prediction. Back to the upper 80`s next week. |

My low this week was 25 on Tuesday morning. I had put gallons of water next to my in-ground tomato plants, and put lights down the center. Up on a frame I had frost cloth and sheets (2 layers). The lowest it got in there was 39. Yippee - I don't have to replant! |

I find the noaa.gov to be a little more accurate indicator. All the pundits were an atmosphere away from their predictions. Seemed like kind of a ploy to get the blankets and protection out of inventory, and or watch the news more. Lol |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (email@example.com) on Fri, Mar 29, 13 at 7:41
I was in Home Depot when it was in the 90's and they apparently follow noaa.gov as they had the frost blankets out, on sale, and a note saying "IT CAN FREEZE IN APRIL!". I bought 3 but luckily didn't have to cover anything. Not in a big hurry for the 100's and hoping spring rains show up this year. Tally HO! |

After a wild two-and-a-half hours of GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge action at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday, co-drivers John Edwards and Matt Bell found themselves soaked in victory champagne for the second straight year, while Derek Whitis and Tom Long earned another Street Tuner victory at the storied road course for Freedom Autosport.
For Jeff Segal and Emil Assentato, the GRAND-AM Rolex Series Continental Tire Sports Car Festival Powered by Mazda was a battle that enabled them to win the season-long war for the Rolex Series GT championship.
For Richard Westbrook and Antonio Garcia, Sunday's race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca represented their Rolex Series-leading third Daytona Prototype victory of the season. And for Dane Cameron and Wayne Nonnamaker, the race allowed them to score a popular breakthrough GT race victory.
It is with a heavy heart that we report the passing of auto and motor racing legend Carroll Shelby, who died Thursday night at Baylor Hospital in Dallas. He was 89 and the longest living double transplant recipient.
The Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca family will miss the Texan who forever changed the sports car racing landscape with the iconic Shelby Cobra, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
For a complete story on the life of Carroll Shelby, read Pete Lyons' wonderful tribute at AutoWeek.
Don't miss out on all the activities and premier parking for your Shelby Cobra at this year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 17-19. Whether it is an authentic (CSX 2000/3000) Cobra, continuation Cobra or a replica Cobra, the Cobra Corral is for you to conveniently park, enjoy friends and be near all the on-track action.
The Northern California Shelby Club is currently selling admission tickets and corral parking for Shelby Cobras inside the Yamaha Marketplace. But to ensure there is space for your Cobra, advance purchase is required.
To millions of motorsports fans around the world, a cobra isn't a snake.
For automobile enthusiasts not fortunate enough to be among the more than 50,000 in attendance at the 2012 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion (Aug. 17-19), SPEED TV will provide an in depth broadcast of all the action on September 28 at 7 p.m. PT.
Complementing the impressive number of authentic competition Shelby Cobras thundering around the circuit in their dedicated race group (3A) at this year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 17-19, will be a collection of unequaled magnitude at Ford Motor Company's onsite Shelby Cobra Heritage Display.
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion has become a "don't miss" event for Shelby Cobra owners August 17-19 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Complementing the 17 race groups will be a full slate of activities to honor the 50th anniversary of the Shelby Cobra, the event's featured marque.
A war veteran who flew B-29s, an oil roughneck, a chicken farmer…Carroll Shelby was a man of diverse talents. But he will forever be remembered as an automotive icon who transformed sports car racing and brought American pride to the international motorsports stage.
This year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 17-19, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Shelby Cobra. But the featured marque honor becomes more poignant with the recent passing of the man who was simply known to friends as "Shel."
When Carroll Shelby, along with chief engineer Phil Remington, finished the very first Cobra, neither imagined that history was being written. Shelby just wanted to go race and win…right away, but Shelby American's incredible efforts between 1962 and 1967 resulted in 998 Shelby Cobras being constructed. It's estimated that 120 of these Shelby Cobras were competition cars, and they forever changed sports car racing.

Updated: March 8, 2013 6:36AM
Today, Marktown is home to about 550 residents. The majority are Hispanic, with smaller percentages of African-Americans and white residents. Some of the homes are dilapidated, due primarily to absentee landlords who have not maintained their properties but are hoping to make a profit from BP or some other deep-pocketed neighbor. The majority of houses, however, are well kept and owned by the people living in them. The average income in Marktown's 165 households is about $38,000 a year, and about 15 percent live below the poverty level.
No one would mistake Marktown for paradise. It is an island of homes surrounded by one of the largest complexes of heavy industry in the United States. Its next door neighbors are an oil refinery, steel mills and other industrial plants. The BP refinery lights up the night sky and one of the refinery's new structures to handle Canadian crude rises several stories into the sky and hovers over Marktown. The sound of trucks hauling heavy loads of steel is not uncommon. There is probably no other community in America, certainly not in the Chicago area, which is surrounded by so much heavy industry. But that's the way it was designed to be, and that's what makes Marktown unique enough to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Built in 1917 by Chicago steel pipe maker Clayton Mark, the community that eventually became known as Marktown was created to deal with the lack of housing in the area in which Mark planned to expand his company. Mark charged Howard Van Doren Shaw, a well-known Chicago architect who'd designed Mark's own home in Lake Forest, Ill., with the task.
Shaw, who'd designed what's thought to be one of the first shopping centers, Market Square, a year earlier, envisioned Marktown as an English village, with detached, boarding and row houses, a school, library, public square parks and shops. World War I and a faltering economy, however, cut the plan to 200 stucco-clad buildings from 8,000.
In response to a second threat to its existence in the 1970s, when Cline Avenue was being built, Marktown was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. After the first threat in 1955, the then-Inland Steel Mill was forced to build a 13-acre park, said Paul Myers.

Final Thoughts
I am really sort of torn with the Dark Rock 2 from be quiet and not for any reason that should call fault to anything about the cooler, it is the fact that a fair percentage of my readers won't have the ability to purchase this cooler any time real soon. I went to custom water cooling years ago to get good results with less and less noise coming from my PC with every build I completed. If reasonably priced coolers like this were around when I made the jump to water cooling, it may have kept me from making that leap.
The Dark Rock 2 is aesthetically appealing, who doesn't like a large black tower cooler taking care of business inside of the case? The crosshair design on the top would even lend itself well to all of these new motherboards with gun parts and bullets on them.
The Dark Rock 2 is a little bigger than both of the coolers I previously mentioned, but that is partially due to the fact that be quiet delivers almost absolute silence in their SilentWings fan operation, that it takes a fair bit more material to have enough surface area to be able to deliver the competing results we saw in the charts. Considering the noise level difference in the three tower coolers on the chart, I have to give the edge to be quiet. For similar money you get great performance, silence and an attractive addition to any build.
There really was not one thing I that I can think of that comes to mind for faults with the Dark Rock 2. In this cooler be quiet delivers a full set of hardware to get this cooler onto all of the latest sockets including quite a few from years gone by. Once assembled the cooler is very secure and is generous to the memory area without causing too much issues with memory heat spreaders, the list goes on and on.
With the price point of 55 Euros for those shopping on the right side of the ocean and hopefully they start to full shelves in the US market soon, I really want to recommend this cooler to my friends, but alas they cannot obtain them and that is the only real disappointment that raises its head in this whole review. If you have access to buy on, the be quiet Dark Rock 2 is a great cooler considering everything as a full package.

Slanted and Enchanted
Taking inspiration from barns, warehouses, Case Study Houses, and Japanese residential architecture, architect Marcus Lee and his wife, Rachel Hart—–an architectural model maker—–created a unique timber-framed home in Hackney, London. The three-story house packs within its double-height ceiling five bedrooms, a study, a music room, and a mezzanine gallery while still leaving enough space for an open-plan ground floor and garden. Lee tells us how he created such a hardworking, flexible, and desirable family home.

Hey, Seventeen. It's Trina Galloway and I'm here with another video. So for this video, it's just a week of hairstyles that I did and I just picked them depending on the day and then like what I was gonna be doing that day. So I have 5 different styles that I'm gonna show you how I did. First, it was just a casual day. I had my hair mostly straight but I didn't want it perfectly straight so I decided to just bump the ends with my curling iron just to give it some body. I used about, I think it's an inch barrel on my curling iron and I just curled it and then that's the end result. A lot of volume in my hair there. Next, I decided to do a fishtail braid. I was running a little bit late so I thought it'd be quick and easy. So you separate your hair in to 2 ponytails, a front ponytail and a back ponytail. You bring a piece from the back ponytail to the front ponytail like I'm doing there and then you drop the front ponytail, bring a piece from the front ponytail and bring it to the back ponytail and then you drop the back ponytail. Bring a piece from the back ponytail again, take it over to the front ponytail, drop the front ponytail, bring a piece from the front ponytail and bring it over to the back ponytail and that's your basic pattern. And then you can see there that the braid is starting to form and you just keep braiding all the way down and then tie it and I left my bangs out because I knew they would have fallen on the braid anyway so I decided to clip them up out of the way and I just tuck the extra hair through the braid. It sticks out a little bit but that's okay. It doesn't have to be perfect. Next, I just wanted to do a simple look where I used my curling wand. I think I had a sorority event this day so I want to just look really cute and girly. So I took a piece and I wrapped it around the wand, hold it for about 15 seconds and let it go and that's the end result. So here, I had my hair curled already but it was a pretty windy day so I didn't want my hair blowing everywhere so I decided to do a side ponytail. I'm bringing my hair over to one side but I know it all wouldn't reach to the ponytail so I'm just pinning it in the back and then I'm bringing the rest over into a ponytail and I have cute little bow and I just wanted to put it in there in my hair. So I pinned it in into the scrunchy on my hair and that's the end result. So this is the last look and this was date night with the boyfriend. I went through my hair with my curling iron and I curled it, left it for about 15 seconds, let it out and then I went back with a sponge roller. So I let my hair set and I did my makeup so that the curls could cool down during the mean time and then I came back and I took all the sponge rollers out and I combed through with my fingers just to brake them up a little bit and that's the final look. Thanks for watching. Bye.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is BELLA!
Facts about BELLA
- Breed: Golden Retriever/German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
BELLA's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi my name is Bella. I am a 2 mth old female Golden/GSD mix. HNH rescued me and my sister from a High Kill Shelter. I am crate trained and sleep through the night. Love running and playing with my sister. I would love a forever home that is active and has a large yard and playmate for me. I am young and should be fine around cats. Kids under age 5 will need to be careful as I have sharp puppy teeth and sometimes forget that humans are not chew toys. Bella is being fostered in Torrance, CA. For an application visit our website at: www.hopenheroes.com or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Adoption/Donation fee and home inspection are required.
Other Pets at Hope n' Heroes
Why Adoption is a Great Option
BELLA, a Torrance Golden Retriever/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Torrance, or seeking a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Torrance.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Torrance already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Torrance breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Golden Retriever/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Golden Retriever/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Torrance paves the way for another one to be saved.

Local Dollar General store manager did Crocodile Dundee to a wanna-be knife-wielding bandit. MJM congratulates the manager for his cool. It is good that the bandit did not have a gun; good that he ran.
Main point: Anyone, anytime, anywhere. This is not the first time for this store. Thieves think they can threaten banks and store managers with an index finger in a pocket, and run with the money. Mostly, they can. Immediate repercussions do not strike them as great. Two to the chest would have sent a powerful message. But, the civil and even criminal liability potential both dissuade good citizens from self-defense.

On November 10th at 6 PM, Nebraska's Got Your 6, a public relations campaign, will be hosting a candlelight vigil and a moment of silence on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge in downtown Omaha. The goal of this event is to raise awareness of, and show appreciation for, the defending of our freedom and the sacrifices military men and women make.
This campaign strives to honor veterans in our community as well as promote organizations that support our military men and women and appreciate their sacrifices. "Nebraska's Got Your 6" comes from the military term got your 6. When telling directions on a clock face 12 would be in front of you and 6 would be behind you, the side you can't see. So when someone says "I have got your six" it means that they have got your back. The mission of this campaign is to show the military veterans both nationally and locally that Nebraska's got their 6.
To successfully reach the goals this campaign wishes to execute, the campaign managers are asking the community to come together for a night of good company and hot chocolate as we "light up the night" for our men and women in uniform (candles will be provided at the bridge for a donation).
For more information on this project and/or event, don't hesitate to contact Kate Radosta at email@example.com or by text or call at 402-218-8897.

This peer interview is with Adeline Koh. You can follow her on Twitter @adelinekoh. All links open in new windows. If you read this interview and find it interesting or useful, please take a moment to share it on your networks. Thank you.
Ernesto Priego: Please share with us who you are and what you do…
Adeline Koh: I am an assistant professor of postcolonial literature at Richard Stockton College, and this academic year I am a visiting faculty fellow at the Greater than Games lab at Duke University's Franklin Humanities Institute.
I was originally trained in 20/21st Century British and Anglophone literatures and postcolonial theory, but since then my research has broadened to include film, new media and the digital humanities.
At Duke this year, I'm designing Trading Races, a historical role-playing game set at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2003, the year of the landmark Supreme Court decisions. Players in the game assume the roles of an imaginary Michigan Student Assembly and real figures such as Sandra Day O'Connor, John Hope Franklin and Carl Cohen.
The game aims to teach race consciousness to undergraduate students. We just completed our first playtest, and the game is set to pilot in two classes (one at Duke and the other at Stockton College) in Spring 2013.
EP: Can you tell us about your http://www.adelinekoh.org/ site? What´s your vision for it, and how do you include it in your academic workflow?
AK: adelinekoh.org pretty much functions as a combination of an academic blog and updates about anything I'm doing that others might find useful. Sometimes I'll put up ideas that I'm musing through to get feedback (my hack/yack post and archival silences and colonialism post part one and two are examples of these); otherwise, I'll put up slides of talks I've given or storifies of events I've taken part in. I don't have a regular schedule for it in my workflow, but I usually try and update it if I've done something interesting lately.
EP: How did you start blogging? What took you to it and what were the challenges you first faced (technical, cultural, etc.)?
AK: Like many academics, I was averse to blogging for many years as I thought blogs were mostly an outlet for adolescent angst, rather than serious work. But I began following some academic blogs around 2009, which showed to me that blogging could really be used as a serious academic tool to disseminate ideas, get feedback and to grow your own scholarly community. So I started blogging–in slow steps. Most of my blog posts began with reporting on events I've attended. I don't think I've faced many challenges with blogging so far, other than the occasional troll-ish comment.
EP: What were the blogs that made you change your mind, and where do you think that idea that blogs "were mostly an outlet for adolescent angst" had come from?
AK: The usual Digital Humanities suspects :) Mark Sample's blog, Brian Croxall's blog and most of the ProfHacker team. Dan Cohen wrote an excellent blog post in 2006 titled "Professors Start Your Blogs" which writes against the stereotype about blogging being an outlet for display of teenage teenage angst, arguing that blogs are simply one genre that can be adapted to many purposes. Where the stereotype comes from? I guess reading one too many of such blogs in the early 2000s…
EP: I guess there's a similar negative stereotype about tweeting being just about Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and what you had for lunch… can you tell us about how you personally use Twitter within academic settings? It was through Twitter that I first became aware of you and your work. Feel free to include advice for those still in doubt…
AK: Yes, the same translates to negative stereotypes about Twitter. Within academic settings I've found livetweeting events (with permission, where possible) a great way to both contribute to the academic community and to get to learn about other people's work. I've learned so much about what goes on at conferences I've never heard of simply by listening in on people's hashtags. It's also been a terrific networking tool, when used appropriately. I've also had many interesting conversations with people over Twitter, mostly about the state of higher education. What I like most about the medium is that it allows anyone to join in. Its openness has been, for me, one of the most attractive things. And to those who are still in doubt, I'd point them to Ryan Cordell's post on why you should have a digital academic presence–to summarize, it often creates an "entry point" for people to get to know you and your work, and vice versa.
EP: Final question: do you feel your online presence is recognised positively amongst your peers and wider academic circles? What do you think is needed to improve online scholarly behaviour –discussing themes, sharing links to articles and other references, participating in conference backchannels?
AK: In general, yes. My online presence has been critical to reaching audiences outside of my own institution–something extremely important to consider if you are based at a small liberal arts college like mine. It's led to many invitations to give presentations, collaborate in different projects etc. But this may have something to do with the fact that most of the research I've been disseminating via my online presence has to do with topics on the digital humanities and digital pedagogy. People in my more "traditional" research fields–postcolonial theory and world literature–might consider my work in social media to be less significant.
In regard to your question about improving online scholarly behavior–I think that being a good "digital citizen" is similar to being a good academic citizen in general. Don't self-promote exclusively; promote the work of others that you find interesting. Enter into discussions respectfully; treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself. And as far as possible, cite your references–or link to them.
EP: Thank you very much for giving us this interview, Adeline.

- Services and Events
- Features and Facilities
- More Info
We are two Church of England (Anglican) parishes in the Sevenoaks Deanery of the Diocese of Rochester, within the Canterbury Province. St Katharine's and St Margaret's came together in 1983 as a United Benefice under one parish priest. Our pattern of services reflects the fact that we are two parishes working closely together.
• 1st Sunday: 8.00am Holy Communion; 6.30pm Choral Evensong
• 2nd Sunday: 10.30am Family Communion
• 3rd Sunday: 9.00am Choral Matins; 6.30pm Holy Communion
• 4th Sunday: 10.30am Family Service
Please email or phone the Rector, the Rev'd John Benson for further details of these services, or for a fuller explanation, please visit the church website. Our Curate, the Rev'd Hugh Thomas helps to lead and develop our parishes in worship. Churchwardens assist our Rector and Curate in this.
We have two thriving choirs, a Youth Choir, and an Adult Choir, led by our talented director of music, David Walker. There are often music concerts and organ recitals. For more information on our choirs and music, visit our website.
We also have strong children and youth outreach within our parishes, with a Sunday Club, Tots Praise, CYC, Crèche, Youth Choirs and annual holiday clubs for all children from surrounding schools. Again, more details are available from our website.
We hold many events such as Harvest luncheons, Bible Studies, summer picnics, BBQs, Lent courses, and many more enjoyable social gatherings. Our many groups and fellowships include the Knockholt Wives' Fellowship and St Katharine's Flower Team. A full history of St Katharine's along with sermons and articles is available on our website - please do take a look, and we look forward to welcoming you to our parish.

Per Theodore, in the issue's Publisher's Note:
We've chosen the theme of this Reader Magazine to be Purple America, to remind us of the common hopes and ideals we share as a nation. We first heard the term "Purple America" in Yes!, a national, nonprofit media organization that fuses powerful ideas with practical actions. Because we believe many of the ideas espoused by Yes! deserve to be heard in the broader marketplace of ideas, we've given our voice to republish some ideas through a special collaboration.
Except, says Yes!'s Pibel, "this is a collaboration that did not involve any communication with Yes! magazine. There was no collaboration—'special' or otherwise." (Even so, this one-sided collaboration appears to be the only instance in which Reader's founder, Theodore, has sort of credited a source publication.)
"It's particularly egregious for us because it's really a placement that is contrary to our brand," says Pibel. "We're all about sustainability, economic justice and ramping down consumerism. And being used in support of shopping coupons is not usually where we prefer to show up."
Pibel has found an attorney to represent the magazine pro bono and draw up a cease and desist letter. "We want people to reprint our stuff, we just want to have credit for it and maybe a link to our website when they do," he says.
But more than anything, Pibel was stunned by the "chutzpah" involved in Reader's stunt. "In today's Internet world, I think people are getting real confused about what's appropriate use and what's not," he says. "But I think it goes far beyond that to take an interview and substitute your name as interviewer. The level of audacity involved there—I don't even know how you would even think of doing that."
Chris Theodore, founder and publisher of Reader, wasn't up for explaining. When contacted by CJR, Theodore refused to grant a phone interview or respond to e-mailed questions, and instead sent an e-mail threatening a lawsuit if we pursued the story. He also accused of this reporter of conspiring in a "smear campaign" with an individual "who seeks to speciously discredit our much loved publication, and is using your institution for this purpose."
Despite the perils that the Internet would seem to present for plagiarizers of our time—it can take but a simple Google search to undress the Emperor these days—Theodore does not shy away from promoting Reader on its many platforms. Perhaps he even offers a clue about his editorial practices at his Tumblr and Facebook pages, in a post titled, "Massive Collaboration Changes Everything," where he hints at the substance of a new social network, Wikitny, he is building and which he imagines will become the "place to add your mark to the destiny of the world."
Perhaps also telling is this language at the Reader Magazine legal page:
The information presented here has been compiled by Noble Media, Inc. from internal and external sources. However, no representation is made or warranty given as to the completeness or accuracy of such information. In particular, you should be aware that this information may be incomplete, may contain errors or may have become out of date.
Yet, if Theodore's philosophy is that unsourced compilation is the same thing as collaboration, it hasn't stopped him from displaying the standard legal—copyright and trademark—protections for Reader's content as well. You will be prosecuted for plagiarizing the plagiarizer, apparently.
"It'd be nice if there were some recourse," says Vincent Zandri, a freelance journalist and author of fiction whose feature, "One Man's Victory Against All Odds" by RT in May 2009— was republished in Reader's November/December/January 2010-11 issue. "If one of your stories is being reprinted and you're not paid for it, that's plagiarism and money out of your pocket—especially for me; I'm a freelancer."
Zandri says his work has been pirated numerous times, and he was not terribly surprised to learn he had been plagiarized and republished in a Southern California direct mailer:
As great as the digital world has been as a journalist and fiction writer—especially with lucrative ebook sales—it has been just as troubling because people are pirating me left and right . But as a journalist, I'm on to the next story and I'm working. I just don't have the time or the resources. I don't know what I could do—I'm powerless and as long as it is out there digitally, it can be hacked.
Zandri promotes a lot of his work on his website, a strategy he says he is beginning to question as a result of his continuing battle against piracy and plagiarism.

Spiritual Guidance: Shadow Priest 101, page 3 {WoW}
Mar 9th 2011 5:27PM To expand from Fadmin's comment:
- Like Boekster said, you do NOT need to reapply DOTs when you pop Dark Arch, their damage will be adjusted as such when Evang goes up.
- One thing people seem to forget about Mind Spike is that sometimes having the ability to remove all your DOTs at once can be quite useful. A good example is Omnitron in Blackwing Decent, where you need to switch from one robot to the next, and you need to stop damaging the last one because that can cause ill effects on the raid. Mind Spike comes in incredibly handy in a situation such as that.
The Queue: It's a moose, all right? {WoW}
Mar 6th 2011 4:39PM Dragons can turn themselves into other races at will. Not sure if you've done Wyrmrest before, but at the top are a bunch of elves, humans, and a gnome. Those are all dragons in mortal forms. They do this for convenience of moving about not as a giant dragon.
Blues explain nature of archaeology cooldowns {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2011 6:25PM I think the pinnacle of ridiculous cooldowns has to go to Darkspear/Gnomeregan Pride. I know the buff duration is pretty long at 30 minutes with most transformations usually sitting somewhere around 10 minutes long. But four hours, to me, seems like a ridiculous amount of time to wait for an item. Hell, it would make more sense even if it was just two hours.
Breakfast Topic: Do you use heirlooms when leveling? {WoW}
Feb 26th 2011 10:27AM Nowadays I only use any heirlooms that grant XP bonuses in Outland and Northrend. I still haven't done all the re-done old world zones and I don't want to just zip by with my 6,000% XP increase. I like doing the zones as they are meant to be done because the stories are just so darn engaging.
Patch 4.1 PTR: The story moves forward {WoW}
Feb 24th 2011 3:53PM There's no conspiracy. Blizzard completely released this patch and its notes today to directly compete with Rift. I bet if you asked someone directly they would be like "Yeah, duh, that's why we did it."
People seem to forget that Blizzard is a business, and the point of a business is to provide services and make as much money as possible. That doesn't make them "evil" or "corporate villains", it just makes them human. Rift is a real, viable threat to Blizzard right now and to protect their interests, they released some new content for their biggest seller, WoW, on the same day Rift began its launching process. It's actually quite an intelligent business move.
Why does everyone want to draw drama from everything? There's no conspiracy, Blizzard isn't some evil, money-drinking super power bent on world domination: Blizzard is a business, and they have to protect their business from competitors. It's just the way the world works.
Around Azeroth: Let me down easy {WoW}
Feb 17th 2011 11:23AM I'm a little surprised people don't look at this and know exactly what's going on. The Night Elf on the bottom is using Levitate and there's a roof or some sore of platform beneath her that's just out of shot. Both players probably just waited/took a lot of screenshots until the right one came out.
Love is in the Air event plagued by bugs {WoW}
Feb 6th 2011 5:13PM That being said, the new direction they've taken the holiday is much, much better than it used to be (in theory, anyway). Mega props to them for finding a good way to remove the crazy amount of RNG-based achievements necessary.
Love is in the Air event plagued by bugs {WoW}
Feb 6th 2011 5:12PM I'm not one to blame Blizz for all bugs, I don't like saying "GG BLIZZ WTF" whenever the littlest things go wrong. I understand it's an enormous, complicated game with lots of moving parts and it's difficult to keep them all moving correctly all the time...
But this is ridiculous. This is just flat-out not Blizzard quality. A few bugs slipping by is alright and live-with-able, but these bugs are actively keeping us from completing quests and from getting the meta. I really feel as though Blizzard has completely dropped the ball on this one.
The Queue: The one with a bird on it {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2011 2:20PM If you understand how computers work, you will understand that a computer cannot actually make a completely random choice. All "random" things done through computers are not actually random, but chosen through a series of complex algorithms and whatnot. So no, RNG is not, by the definition of the word, purely random.
I don't know if they're having trouble with the RNG like you're implying, however.
The Queue: The one with a bird on it {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2011 2:18PM I'm pretty sure they've said this won't be happening any time soon, if ever, because of technical limitations. Also, they want to have some sort of restrictions on how many toons people can roll.
IMO they should implement a way to rearrange the character selection screen before worrying about adding more.

A Brooklyn man pleaded guilty last Thursday to third-degree assault as a hate crime after he attacked a man with a stun gun in Ridgewood two years ago.
Shortly after 8 p.m. on Sept. 25, 2012, Joseph Desmond, 25, of Bushwick, approached a 23-year-old man and shouted an anti-gay slur at him before shocking him in the chest with a stun gun.
The victim, who suffered chest pains but was not severely injured, called police and Desmond was arrested later that evening.
The Bushwick resident's sentencing is scheduled for July 23, and in exchange for his guilty plea, he is expected to receive between one and three years in prison and five years' post-release supervision.
"The defendant's guilty plea ensures that the victim of a crime motivated by hate will receive justice," District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement. "Hate crimes — whether motivated by sexual orientation, gender, religious or ethnic bias — will never be tolerated in Queens County."

"Dustin's Law" was returned to the Capitol steps in Nashville Monday as the parents of the 24-year-old who was killed in a DUI-related crash three years ago attempts to kick-start the move to pass tougher DUI laws.
"I prayed when Dustin was killed that somehow God would use me and make me available," said Kim Ledford, mother of the young man for whom the bill is named. "I didn't want Dustin to have died in vain. I didn't want him to become just another statistic."
Ledford and a group of friends and family from Cleveland were at a press conference pushing for the passage of the law which was introduced by state Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland, and state Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, last year.
Both Watson and Gardenhire attended the media event.
Currently, the harshest sentences go to drivers with a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit and a prior DUI.
The proposed law would remove the prior-DUI stipulation and add similar sentencing for drivers with a blood alcohol level of .08 and methamphetamine in their system.
A conviction could place a person behind bars for 16-20 years.
The added cost to the state budget is projected to be $445,000 because of the number of increased incarcerations, which has stalled the bill in finance committees.
State Rep. William Lamberth, R-Cottontown, a member of both the House Criminal Justice Committee and the Criminal Justice Subcommittee, spoke at the conference in support of the bill's passage.
"When you've heard these families' stories and you've had to look into their eyes, when you've had to hold these mothers as they shake and tremor from the pain that they've felt from having a child stolen from them, it's worth it," said Lamberth, who is also a co-sponsor of the bill in the state House.
Supportive legislators are hoping a budget amendment can be passed that will fund the related costs of the bill.
However, the most recent committee calendars posted by the Legislature do not show the bill as being on any agenda for discussion in the immediate future.
Additional details from Monday's press conference will be provided in Wednesday's edition of the Cleveland Daily Banner.

Green Right Now
Consumers are being more conscious now than ever before of their own sustainable practices. They are buying from local farmers markets, recycling, and switching to LED lights.
But when a person leaves home, say to go out to eat, they could pack on the carbon calories without realizing it — especially if the restaurant they visit isn't treading lightly on the environment.
According to the Green Restaurant Association (GRA), the certification body aiming to create an environmentally sustainable restaurant industry, an average restaurant uses 300,000 gallons of water and produces 150,000 pounds of garbage a year. Even worse, the restaurant industry as a whole, which includes approximately 900,000 restaurants in the United States, is the largest consumer of electricity in the commercial sector.
The GRA has certified 265 restaurants in the U.S. Those green restaurants have taken multiple steps to use less energy, save on food and packaging and improve their carbon and food footprints.
Some of the changes are virtually invisible. At Barr Mansion, an Austin events restaurant that the GRA cites as a star performer, 97 percent of the waste is diverted from the landfill by recycling or composting.
Other green actions are more noticable, such as Barr Mansion's hemp tablecloths, organic food and a roof made from recycled concrete.
Many restaurants, yet to be certified, are taking initial green steps in the normal course of business. They are using motion sensors on bathroom faucets to save water, programmable thermostats to temper energy use, bulk packaging to cut down on individual wrapping, and serving water upon request to preserve that resource, and save the water it would take to wash the glass.
If every restaurant put these basic changes into place, the energy and water savings would add up. According to GRA, if just one quarter of restaurants in the United States only served water upon request, the country could save 26 million gallons of water each year.
Restaurants can take other inexpensive steps toward sustainability: In the office, staff can switch to 100% post-consumer recycled paper in the office and recycle office ink cartridges. In the kitchen, changing to a readily available $30 low-flow spray valve can save hundreds of dollars on the water bill. Adding and maintaining Energy Star appliances also helps.
Saving food can be among the most gratifying ways to change. Kitchens usually prepare more food for the day than is eaten, but they can plan for leftovers by segregating organic waste, which can be composted. Partnering with a local food bank or Salvation Army also can put quality leftovers to good use.
GRA is currently working with 600 restaurants, including the 265 that are already certified. Restaurants need 100 points on a scale developed by the GRA to become certified.
Most restaurants fall between 40-60 points in their first assessment, according to Colleen Oteri, GRA's Communications Manager.
There are five requirements that restaurants must meet to be GRA certified:
- Accumulate a total of 100 points
- Meet minimum points in each category
- Energy
- Water
- Waste
- Disposables
- Chemical & Pollution Reduction
- Sustainable Food
- Sustainable Furnishings & Building Materials
- Full-scale recycling program
- Free of polystyrene foam (no Styrofoam allowed)
- Annual education program
GRA has a detailed explanation of its 4.0 Standards on their website.
Barr Mansion is GRA's highest scoring restaurant with 284.76 points. Hosting and catering to over 1,600 guests each month, Barr Mansion is a picturesque site for weddings, luncheons, parties, and various events. As the nation's first and only Certified Organic events facility, Barr Mansion prides itself on being green. From simple things like using non-toxic cleaning chemicals, paints, and candles to the more complex such as diverting 97 percent of its waste, Barr Mansion is leading the way. Other unique eco-aspects include:
- Hemp and organic table linens
- Chairs made from eucalyptus
- Roof made from recycled concrete
- Geothermal heat
- Organic food grown on the property
- Serving grass fed beef
- Composting all food waste
Many of the GRA-certified restaurants attest to the money savings that accompanied their green transformation. At GustOrganics Restaurant & Bar in New York City, owner Alberto Gonzales, notes that he has saved $1,300 a year by foregoing paper towels in favor of an energy efficient hand dryer in the restroom. GustOrganics, which serves everything from granola and fruit to organic bar drinks and Buenos Aires steak, also has received much media attention as the first certified organic food restaurant in NYC.
GRA understands that with each new year better environmental solutions become available and more plentiful. Because of this, certified restaurants must continually improve their sustainable practices.
"They [consumers] expect more and they want to know that the restaurant can truly back up their green claims. Being certified through a 20-year-old national non-profit with transparent standards is the way to do that," said Oteri.
So while a restaurant does not need to have the GRA seal to be taking some green actions, the certification is verification that the facility is among the vanguard of eco-friendly eating establishments. Use the Dine Green online tool to find a GRA-certified restaurant near you.

Overview | |||
China has so many outstanding places to visit that it is difficult to choose among them. We know that your vacation time is both brief and valuable. Our recommendations for the best places to visit will help you find the right place for your vacation in China. China is a country that feels as if it gives its treasures grudgingly to foreigners. In part, this is because the country is so large and has such a long, interesting, and geographically dispersed history. You will need to research your destinations to ensure that you see the "face" of China that interests you. China is justifiably proud of it modern cities and economic power: however, to most travelers, " tourist" China is intertwined with the country's history. It is little wonder that most travel is aimed at exploring the impressive monuments, palaces, and tombs representing China's long and important history. |

Additional ResourcesThe official tourism website for China is provided by the Chinese National Tourism Board. The site provides additional details on places we recommend above, as well as locations that did not make our list.

Things inside the tent did not seem quite normal.
Here I am,
Snuggled in adipose,
Ceaselessly reeling towards some haughty bliss.
A wholesome chaos.
Brewing here.
A puke orange sun drips into the lake,
The mirror,
Sending a trillion jocose radiating cracks at
the Chautauqua by the bay.
Where dreams are made, I have no name.
You can call me Al.
You can call me a Menshevik and stiff-backed and a transient.
I'm all of these.
I'm none of these.
All of the above.
I'm the 11:22 train late for Dallas.
I'm the 11:22 train late for Dallas.
I'm the 3:16 hydrofoil from St. Johns.
Think about it. Think about me.
Think. And suffer.
Think and suffer and bleed two quarts of ethanol and
a blazing river of golden ecstasy.
Drink it. Drink it again, by the keg, by the bay.
Give it a fancy name and live forever.
Shave your head.
Make a movement.
Make the movement the crisp flick of a match set
straight to your flesh.
But don't call it 'your' flesh.
Is it plausible,
That we, Mensheviks,
Basking in the warm of the bay they call Chautauqua,
Have founded a cargo cult?
If this be nonsense,
Pray tell what isn't.
Things inside the tent did not seem quite normal.
I walked outside.

Celebrity portraits have always been extremely compelling to fans of fashion photography and Hollywood cutlure, and few photographers have a collection of unusual star snaps like the ones in the Mario Sorrenti portfolio.
Mario Sorrenti is a 40-year-old, New York-based photographer who is best known for shooting nude models in high-fashion magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, but he is equally adept at getting celebrities to appear in portraits that appear to be completely out of their comfort zone. The Mario Sorrenti portfolio is chock full of of these examples. Will Ferrell is shown, face caked with make-up, gripping blood-red lipstick, mouth twisted in comic mock horror. Antonio Banderas holds an exceptionally sharp pair of scissors to his eyebrow, his eyes locked on the camera like a matador on a bull. George Clooney stands alone in a shower holding a cup, his face exhibiting his trademark wry, half-smirk.
But the real highlight of the Mario Sorrenti portfolio is his capture of contemporary Hollywood legend Leonardo DiCaprio, half of his face obscured by smoke. The image perfectly captures DiCaprio's intensity and mystery, encapsulating an entire career in one shot.
