Hello All, I just joined the forum this evening. I have found the reading very interesting. I am running ATItools on both VISTA RC1 ( .25Beta 16) and XP (.24) with no problems. What I would like to ask is if anyone can tell me what "send GPU tempertature to sensor:" is all about? How is it used, etc. Thank you. Paul
If you running Mother Board Monitor program (MBM 5.3.7 is the latest release) and want to display GPU temperature (or GPU environment temperature) on MBM, use that feature. Nice to hear Vista can run ATITool. Can you do overclocking in Vista (using ATITool)? Regards, Arto.

How not to say transdisciplinary
November 6, 2014 § Leave a comment
Because the literary fiction and nonfiction that I study and teach is concerned with environmental systems, the primary questions about literary production and reception that have kept professors of English busy for nearly one hundred years have become, for me at least, inextricable from complicated economic, social, and cultural activities. Though as Gregory Bateson once pointed out, our failure to relate to natural systems and processes is a product of the way we think and talk. We need alternative patterns of thinking and talking about natural and human systems, and we need new ways to teach these alternative patterns.
At the recent conference on ecocultural ethics in Goa, India, I found myself on a featured panel dedicated to the question of ecological learning. One way to define ecological learning would be to draw on Timothy Morton's elaboration of what he calls the "ecological thought": "The ecological crisis we face is so obvious that it become easy. . .to join the dots and see that everything is interconnected. This is the ecological thought. And the more we consider it, the more the world opens up." As he goes on to argue, though, the ecological thought
- "brings to light aspects of our existence that have remained unconscious for a long time; we don't like to recall them"
- "is about considering others, in their interests, in how we should act toward them, and in their very being"
- "forces us to invent ways of being together that don't depend on self interest"
This language reminds me of John Muir, in 1911, saying in My First Summer in the Sierra, that "when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." Ecological learning, then, to stumble toward a more abstract formulation, is learning about what Muir call "things" and then finding that things are only really things when connected to other things.
It is difficult to study and teach Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, for instance, without addressing basic science as well as questions about science and society; there is little doubt that reading in the literature of food or animal studies without addressing the application of rapidly evolving technology would be next to impossible; and there is no question that narratives of environmental justice raise pressing moral and ethical questions by tracing the life-world consequences of rapid developments in science and technology.These were some of the thoughts I was having as I prepared for the panel discussion in Goa. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Samhida Shikha, from Dronacharya Government College Gurgaon, and included a fisheries biologist, Aaron Salvio Lobo, an expert on waste management, Dr. Srikanth Mutnuri, a professor of ethics who teaches at a school of mining, Dr. Ajit K. Behura and an architect, environmental educator, activist, and blogger from the capital city of Panjim, Tallulah D'Silva, whose work has been recognized in the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers Community. The audience for our session on ecological learning included members of the humanities and social sciences, from literary and cultural studies, anthropology, philosophy, religious studies, linguistics and political science.
My contribution to the panel began with an anecdote about arriving in Mumbai at the beginning of this month to meet Rebecca, who had been teaching law in Pune. Gandhi Jayanti, the national holiday, was in full swing, and Prime Minister Modi happened to be using the occasion to kick off his Swachh Bharat Campaign. What followed were days of editorial and public commentary in the Times and in Goa periodicals and online about the clean India campaign. In Goa, one headline read "Desi tourists leave behind uncivil footprints," and the it-is-the-other-guy's-problem excuse was once again registered. "Calangute and Baga beaches witness trail of broken bottles and garbage: visibility upset, Calangute MLA Michael Lobo has accused the tourism department of not being serious enough to tackle the problem." Remarkably, I noted, one person from out of state when interviewed complained of the lack of warning or display boards regarding the disposal of trash and bottles on the beach. "I don't see a single warning signboard so it is no use blaming us tourists." Enough said.
I then offered a case study of Keep America Beautiful (founded 1953), the largest community improvement organization in the United States, that was formed in response to the problem of highway litter that followed the construction of the Interstate Highway System and an increasingly mobile and convenience-oriented American consumer in the middle decades of the twentieth century. I traced the Keep America Beautiful organization joining with the Ad Council in 1961; the subsequent 1971Earth Day theme, "People Start Pollution. People can stop it," featuring the well-known (and problematic) "Crying Indian" campaign launched on Earth Day, narrated by actor William Conrad, and featuring "Iron Eyes Cody," the Native American man (who was actually an Italian) devastated to see the destruction of the earth's natural beauty caused by the thoughtless pollution and litter of a modern society). In 1975 the "Clean Community System" led to the "Keep My Town Beautiful" organization and the more recent "Great American Cleanup" campaigns that have organized 3.9 million volunteers who have removed seventy-six million pounds of litter and recycled hundreds of millions of pounds of metals, newsprint, tires and electronics.
While noting the fundamental historical and cultural differences with the Modi campaign, I admitted that the anecdote offered some hope for those who are rightly cynical of centralized campaigns for "cleanliness" linked to patriotism and political parties. Still, the narrative from the 1950s to the present in the US offers a complex of motivations and investments that contributed to changing the behavior of people as part of a social movement. The question I posed is how academic disciplines and institutions of higher education prepare students to participate throughout their lives in the practice of what the panel was calling ecological learning.
Listening to my colleagues, and participating in the lively audience give and take that followed in the hour we had reserved for discussion, I realized how challenging it is to free ourselves from the terminological moraines. These jumbled piles of words and phrases make it difficult to enact the necessary changes in teaching and learning that would be commensurate with the environmental predicament. What was refreshing for me was that the discussion with my Indian colleagues unfolded without the use of any of the terms so common in the discourse of American academics, terms such as "interdisciplinary," "multidisciplinary," "transdisciplinary." Rather, my Indian friends and colleagues were focused on practice. They were talking about the real work.
Since arriving back in the United States this panel discussion has stayed with me. And I have been thinking more about the terms we use to define what we do and that we deploy to stake out our place in the enterprise of higher education. It is my good fortune to be a member of a faculty that offers courses, minors and degree programs in what we call "interdisciplinary fields of study." These include American Studies, Criminal Justice Studies, Environmental Studies, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Women's and Gender Studies. Over the years, I have taught courses in three of these "fields" (American Studies, Environmental Studies, Women's and Gender Studies) and have given much thought to the approaches taken to the various subjects, materials, and topics within these fields.
The self-evident fact that knowledge about our selves and the world, to use the commonplace jargon often used academic circles, is "constructed" often devolves into abstract and decontextualized conversations about the knowledge and methods of academic disciplines or "interdisciplinary" fields of study or "multidisciplinary" modes of teaching and learning. The consequence is that the questions that structure the intellectual work in our colleges and universities (for professors and for students) become less salient or, arguably, less relevant—particularly in public discourse where facts are bound to be uncertain, values are disputed, and the stakes are high.
I am most grateful to my colleagues in India for helping me to think though my own evolving approach to the study, teaching, and learning as a literary and cultural historian. The term that appears most aligned with my practice as a thinker and teacher is "transdisciplinarity." A sabbatical leave offers the necessary time and space to reflect on one's ongoing work as a reader, writer and teacher. And among the most fruitful set of ideas for my reflections this year has been the thinking of Basarab Nicolescu—in particular, his Manifesto of Transdisciplinarity, trans K. Claire Voss (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2002). A useful précis of the manifesto is available in the "Charter of Transdisciplinarity" that has its origins in the First World Congress of Transdisciplinarity convened in 1994 in Convento da Arrábida, Portugal. The document, produced by the editorial committee comprised of Lima de Freitas, Edgar Morin, and Basarab Nicolescu, has 15 articles, as well as a Preamble, that reads as follows:
· Whereas, the present proliferation of academic and nonacademic disciplines is leading to an exponential increase of knowledge which makes a global view of the human being impossible;
· Whereas, only a form of intelligence capable of grasping the cosmic dimension of the present conflicts is able to confront the complexity of our world and the present challenge of the spiritual and material self-destruction of the human species;
· Whereas, life on earth is seriously threatened by the triumph of a techno-science that obeys only the terrible logic of efficacy of efficacy's sake;
· Whereas, the present rupture between increasingly quantitative knowledge and increasingly impoverished inner identity is leading to the rise of a new brand of obscurantism with incalculable social and personal consequences;
· Whereas, an historically unprecedented growth of knowledge is increasing the inequality between those who have and those who do not, thus engendering increasing inequality within and between the different nations of our planet;
· Whereas, at the same time, hope is the counterpart of all the afore-mentioned challenges, a hope that this extraordinary development of knowledge could eventually lead to an evolution not unlike the development of primates into human beings;
One cannot help but admire the ambitious and hopeful language of this manifesto. My admiration, however, is precisely how the language links the abstractions of knowledge production to the material (and ideological) planetary concerns of the present. What is really remarkable, though, is that this heady rhetoric allows for both a generative acceptance and skepticism about knowledge and power, a finely aware register of social and environmental equity and justice, and an inclusive acceptance of the human in the words "cosmic" and "spiritual." Just how these ideas might shape one's day-to-day work is a challenge to be sure. But the challenge might help to put the words we use to describe teaching and learning in our colleges and universities to more consequential work—words such as "integrative," "interdisciplinary," and "multidisciplinarity—by envisioning a transformation of both our knowledge-seeking methods and the institutions that sponsor our ongoing search.
This was my ambition in India, after all: to imagine with my colleagues practical projects for individual and collaborative inquiry that would in turn expand the scope of conventional pedagogical theory and practice. Perhaps a moratorium on any word that builds off the term "discipline" would offer a glimpse of something more.
Ecocultural Ethics & Environmental Humanities
October 24, 2014 § Leave a comment
"The true artist, like the true scientist, is a researcher using materials and techniques to dig into the truth and meaning of the world in which he himself lives. . . ."
-Paul Strand, Letter to the editor of the Photographic Journal 103.7 (1963): 216.
Sixty years ago, in June of 1955, an international symposium on the relationship between the human and the earth was organized by the Wenner Gren Foundation for Historical Research in Anthropology. Convened in Princeton, New Jersey, "Man's Role in the Changing Face of the Earth" honored George Perkins Marsh's 1864 book Man and Nature. The symposium brought together seventy participants to further, in the words of the Wenner-Green Foundation President Paul Frejos, an understanding of the human and the earth "by synthesis, transcending the limits of present disciplines or branches of science" (vii). The conference participants, in fact, were chosen not to represent academic disciplines; and, as the symposium unfolded, in the words of one of the organizers, Marston Bates, "less and less was said in defense or in support of a particular disciplinary association" (1132).
One of the conveners of the symposium, Carl O. Sauer, professor of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley, raised the present and future condition of the earth as a principal ethical concern. In the words of Marston Bates, a professor of Zoology at the University of Michigan, and also a co-convener of the symposium, "What sort of world is it that we want, and can we get it?" (1134). In his summary remarks on the proceedings, Bates insisted, "the sciences and the humanities form a false dichotomy, because science is one of the humanities" (1139). The third principal organizers of the symposium, Lewis Mumford, reminded the participants that "within the limits of earth's resources and man's biological nature, there are as many different possible futures as there are ideals, systems of values, goals and plans, and social, political, educational, and religious organizations for bringing about their realization" (1150).
In linking ideals and systems of values to collective organizations and institutions, Mumford suggests a direction for one of my primary fields of work, ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. In preparing a keynote address that I delivered in Goa, India, this month I found myself reading in the two-volume proceedings of the International Symposium edited by William L. Thomas, Jr. in collaboration with the principal organizers of the symposium, Carl O. Sauer, Marston Bates, and Lewis Mumford, a historian, philosopher and literary critic. The Princeton Symposium reminded me of the challenges we face when ideals and systems of values run up against less agile organizations and institutions.
Since at least the publication of David Orr's important 1990 book Ecological Literacy: Education and the Transition to a Postmodern World, those of us who work in the environmental humanities have been aware of how individual research agendas and narrow professional incentives do not directly address ecological literacy or sustainability. Orr makes a case that our individual work as research scholars will and should continue. But he is convinced that this work holds less promise in addressing the global predicament of environmental crisis. In essays with titles such as "The Problem of Education," "What is Education For?" and "Place and Pedagogy," Orr argues that our current ecological crisis is associated with a failure of education. We face a moral and the ethical obligation, he concludes, to rethink our professional activities as well as to transform the institutions where we work.
Why is this rethinking so difficult to do? In my recent keynote address at the Birla Institute of Technology Pilani Goa, I suggested to the international gathering that we need more activism within our places of work, as new kinds of interdependence are increasingly a feature of our educational institutions. In the United States, for example, professors and students are designing and implementing curricular models that emphasize collaboration across disciplines and fields of study—from applied and problem-based learning to service learning initiatives and projects involving students, teachers, and local citizens or community groups. In Goa, I encouraged my audience to imagine new ways to integrate ecological, ethical and social contexts in the work of the humanities. I called on the words of a colleague, and former president of ASLE, Ursula Heise, who argues that the environmental humanities by definition "seeks to respond to the call for new institutional formations to correspond to innovative kinds of knowledge. . . [and] also to translate humanistic research more effectively into the public sphere" ("Comparative"). And yet I cautioned that transformations of academic programs and institutions requires valuing this work—among our peers, in our disciplinary associations, as well as in faculty promotion and retention standards. For it is easy to say that our activities are constituted in socially constructed systems, and that our activities can reconstitute those very systems. It is much more difficult to do.
In preparing my remarks for BITS Pilani Goa, I learned that the Birla Institute was founded by the industrialist Ghanshyam Das Birla who voiced a broad and progressive approach to education. "What do we propose to do here?" he asked. "We want to teach real science, whether it is engineering, chemistry, humanities, physics or any other branch." The next generation of the Birlas speak in similar language. Here is Basant Kumar Birla echoing the same educational ethos. "For a rich and full life, interest and involvement in Fine Arts, Music, Literature, Social, Cultural and Spiritual activities are essential." And Dr. Sarala Birla, the wife of Basant Kumar—and daughter of activist and writer Brijlal Biyani—Education is a meaningless ritual, unless it moulds the character of students and imparts in them a strong sense of values."
In my keynote that opened the conference I asked the hundreds of participants to consider recent trends and future directions in "ecocultural ethics" as intellectual work in our shared study of environmental issues and problems. I shared a few examples of innovative collaborations with students, academic colleagues and community-based groups: faculty and students conducting research together, often by taking the campus or local community as a site for the inquiry (a pedagogical model, by the way, that responds well to the call for surveys of employers and business leaders—in the US and in The Times of India that I read in Mumbai—for the human skills of thinking well, communicating effectively, collaborating, and persuasion; programs, centers, and institutes in which faculty are working on projects not limited by disciplinary, methodological or epistemological differences; and technology initiatives designed to build resources for academics, journalists, and the members of the public.
We then talked, in the discussion period and throughout the conference, about comparable projects and initiatives in India. One of the research scholars was inspired by my talk and invited tribal people to the BITS campus for his presentation. And later, during an evening out with colleagues, I learned more about the generative work of one of the conference organizers (who is collaborating with my English colleague Rayson Alex on the natural and cultural history of a bird sanctuary near Panjim) Solano Jose Savio Da Silva, who works in Development Studies and Political Science.
The Ecological Arts
October 24, 2014 § Leave a comment
Let's just say your professional title is Professor of English and American Studies, and you happen to have been elected President of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE-US), and you are invited to deliver the Keynote Address at the International Conference on Ecocultural Ethics: Recent Trends and Future Directions, sponsored by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Goa, India. Perhaps, in addition to your address, "The Ecological Arts: Humanities, Technology, Science," you would be invited to be part of a featured conference session on ecological learning with a fisheries biologist, a philosopher of science, a community activist, and an expert on wastewater treatment. And let's say you also chair a session called "Representations of Land and Animals," and spend your days on campus meeting with research scholars from universities across India to discuss their work in the environmental humanities. How would you approach your visit?
If your goal in India was to share with your Indian colleagues recent trends and future directions in ecocriticism and the environmental humanities, you might feature your own project, or talk about methodological or theoretical trends. However if your focus was not on intellectual or theoretical discourse then you might zero in on institutions—and the pressing need for us to work together to change them. In fact you might float the title, "The Ecological Arts," and use the term ecology to bring together the humanities, sciences, and technology. Then you would lay out your key terms and then connect those key terms to a way of thinking about education before sharing your own efforts, and those of ASLE-US colleagues, who are transforming their intellectual work, disciplines and institutions. Hey, you might even conclude that our current intellectual work, our academic disciplines and institutions, struggle to honor this basic point and that we need to work together to transform our work, and the work of our students, as we meet the new challenges of a rapidly changing world.So that is what I did. I explained to my audience that one of my projects as the current president of ASLE-US has been designing and building a web site to strengthen how our members share resources, collaborate, as well as engage audiences beyond the academy—from community groups and national organizations to journalists. As part of this work, we have reached out to dozens of our members, and have compiled an archive of video, audio and text commentaries that chronicle the histories and activities of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. The web site includes an archive of member perspectives on ecocriticism and the environmental humanities delivered for academic audiences. Currently the archive includes University of California Los Angeles professor Ursula Heise's assessment of the environmental humanities in her 2014 "American Comparative Literature Association's State of the Field Report"; University of Wisconsin professor Rob Nixon's keynote address at the Utrecht Edward Said Memorial Conference in 2013 that explores convergences between colonial oppression and ecological degradation, the unequal distribution of environmental resources and risks and conditions of environmental injustice; the University of Texas's Stacy Alaimo's primer on science studies and the environmental humanities. The archive has an essay by Julianne Lutz Warren, Senior Scholar at the Center for Humans and Nature, on "Generativity," and a conversation with Iain MacCalman, professor at the Sydney Environment Institute, in Australia, about the necessary transformation of our intellectual work in the humanities and social sciences in the "anthropocene." These member perspectives, I concluded, are all pointing to the historical and ethical imperative to transform our intellectual work to address the complicated and complex environmental questions we are facing today.
Press Release: Ecocultural Ethics
October 24, 2014 § Leave a comment
11 October 2014, Goa India
"The Ecological Arts: Humanities, Technology and Science" was the topic on which Prof. Mark C Long, President ASLE (American Society for Literature and Environment) and Professor at Keene State College, USA delivered the inaugural address at the three day International Conference "Towards Eco cultural Ethics: Recent Trends and Future Directions" being hosted by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa Campus during 9-11 October 2014. Chief Guest at the inaugural ceremony held at the campus auditorium on 9th October 2014, Prof. Mark explored the historical and ethical imperative to build intellectual collaborations across the humanities and sciences to address global issues of environmental concerns.
Environmental Humanities or Ecological Humanities, an interdisciplinary area of research that has emerged in the Humanities discipline over the past few decades is the topic of deliberations at the conference. The term "Ecoculture" brings the two disciplines namely ecology and culture on a single platform. The present conference strives to build a platform to initiate an ecocultural dialogue between theorists and practitioners belonging to various disciplines. It is here that ethics becomes a relevant and a vital point of focus. As the methodologies of the fused disciplines are diverse, the perspectives on ethics can also be seen from various dimensions.
Realizing the importance of research in the area of Environmental Humanities, the conference has brought together about 160 participants across India and abroad to present papers on various related issues. Prof. K. E. Raman, Director, at the inaugural ceremony emphasized the environmental concerns researchers need to take up and also the need for promoting interdisciplinary research. Prof. Meenakshi Raman, Dr. Reena Cheruvaleth, Dr. Rayson K. Alex and Dr. Gyan Prakash are the organizers of the event that is co-sponsored by ASLE, USA and Esteem Builders and Developers, Goa.
Right and Wrong
March 5, 2014 § Leave a comment
This morning I read Michelle Navarre's "Cleary The Wrong Way to Teach Grammar" in The Atlantic magazine. The essay takes up the question whether grammar lessons must come before writing or the learning of grammar through writing (and reading). Navarre, an associate professor and associate dean at DePaul University's School for New Learning, notes the decades of study that demonstrate how teaching rules outside of context or use does not work well for most writers.
These kinds of conversations inevitably bring up approaches to teaching writing, and the ways that teaching writing in schools does and does not result in better writing. What we have discovered in more than a decade of work at Keene State College is that developing writers requires a sustained focus on writing—across all four years, and in as many classrooms and fields of study as possible. If we value writing, we need to give students authentic and challenging writing at every turn. This philosophy of teaching writing, it should follow, needs to shape elementary, secondary and post-secondary classrooms. Have a look at another essay in The Atlantic series, Peg Tyre's 2012 essay "The Writing Revolution" for a case study at New Dorp High School focused on teaching analytic writing, every day, in virtually every class.
Finally, and not incidentally, The Atlantic series includes an essay by a secondary teacher, Andrew Simmons, whose "Facebook Has Transformed My Students' Writing—for the Better," offers a first-person anecdotal case for the value of social media in developing skills associated with storytelling and emotional authenticity in personal writing.
Digital Compost
April 11, 2013 § Leave a comment
"Something startles me where I thought I was safest"
Walt Whitman, "This Compost"
It is exciting to be a professor of English right now: for the archive of materials we use in our professional lives has undergone (and is undergoing) fundamental and lasting change. The conditions for literary production and reception are being radically transformed and the work of teaching and research are, as a result, changing. While scholars will necessarily travel to libraries for research, scholars and their students now have access to (and, in a number of cases, are building) an expanding archive of materials that were only a decade ago only available to those with the resources and time to travel to research libraries or to more modest holdings in public or private collections.
For a decade my students and I have been using the Walt Whitman Archive, an electronic library of written materials, including the six editions of Whitman's major work, Leaves of Grass. The archive makes accessible Whitman's notebooks, manuscript fragments, prose essays, letters, and journalism, as well as the ongoing historical and critical commentary on his work. So, for example, my students can access all the volumes of Horace Traubel's With Walt Whitman in Camden and we can easily call up page images of Leaves of Grass Imprints in class. Students reading in the historical commentary on Whitman's writings and current criticism, moreover, now have access to electronic versions of essays and more than twenty full-length books. The co-editors of the site, Kenneth M. Price (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) and Ed Folsom (University of Iowa), have created a beautiful thing.
Also, in my American Studies courses, the Library of Congress web portal that supports the Library's mission "to support the Congress in fulfilling its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people" has helped my students do much more interesting work with a greater range of materials and artifacts. Finally, my colleague at the University of New Hampshire, Siobhan Senier, is building a digital archive/anthology of materials, Writing of Indigenous New England, with the help of students, tribal historians, and local historical societies. you can learn more about this work at Siobhan's Indigenous New England Literature site.
Then, this year, I became aware of two new projects that have, to be honest, startled me. The first, more useful to me in thinking more clearly about the fundamental changes that are taking place in my professional field is the monograph Literary Studies in the Digital Age: an Evolving Anthology ,a part of the MLA Commons project. Here is the description of the anthology by the editors:
We began the process of creating this anthology with the intention of providing a primer to core tools and techniques for computational approaches to literary studies. Yet, since literary studies represents a confluence of fields and subfields, tools and techniques, and since computational approaches come from a great variety of sources, it became clear that any primer would have to be dynamic and capable of incorporating a rich and growing array of methodologies.
What is interesting is that the anthology is evolving using the tools of social computing made possible by web 2.0 technologies. In their Introduction, Introduction, Kenneth M. Price and Ray Siemens make the following claim:
The field of literary studies is being reshaped in the digital age. Texts have acquired a new kind of malleability, and they are often encountered in large aggregations, allowing for a scale of research far different from that in the past. At the same time, new possibilities as well as limitations for publishing are changing how, what, and to whom texts are disseminated. These changes require us to reexamine assumptions and to adopt altered research methodologies.
The introduction is worth reading. It can help to moderate the rhetoric that surrounds what some have called the digital turn. They return to 1963 and the founding of the Centre for Literary and Linguistic Computing at Cambridge University by Roy Wisbey. They also mention the period between 1966–78 when professional organizations were established and publications developed to explore possibilities of using computers in the humanities. They call attention to Computers and the Humanities (1966), the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC, 1973), and the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH, 1978).
The other project is more ambitious, and delightfully so: The Digital Public Library of America is working to make available (the beta version launches April 18 2013) an enormous amount of archival materials. The material and conceptual implications of this project are staggering. The blog entry called "What is the DPLA?" is a helpful place to start. There is also a very good overview of the conception of the project in the April 25 2103 edition (vol. LX no.7) of The New York Review of Books by Robert Darnton.
To take just one example of a DPLA "service hub": The Mountain West Digital Library (MWDL) is a search portal for digital collections about the Mountain West region with free access to over 700,000 resources from universities, colleges, public libraries, museums, historical societies, and government agencies, counties, and municipalities in Utah, Nevada, and other parts of the U.S. West. The MWDL will help to accelerate the preservation of materials in these local sites while reaching out to provide access to those interested in the mountain west. For someone who teaches at a small, centrally isolated liberal arts college, the materials available in the Mountain West Digital Library collections will give me the capacity (and help me imagine) new ways to do my own research as well as help me teach courses using primary documents that would otherwise be unavailable to my students.

I use a really cool piece of software - works on XP, Vista and W7. It's called Boldfinger, and it disables the Caps Lock key. If you really want Caps Lock, you have to use Alt + Caps Lock (I think).

My paladin, Dinofac here.
I like to have a generally good name amongst the Darkspear community, and while this has never been a problem, i'd like to clear it up anyway. You'll see that i haven't cleared any cata raids. I don't PvE on this toon, and as a result i have only 2 peices of PvE gear which are my mogs currently. Also, i've never gotten my arena rating in any bracket past exactly 1496. The closest i've ever been to 1550 was that, i have NEVER had a committed arena partner actually stick to the team and do arenas with me. Why? I'm not a bad player, i consider myself to be an avid and successful PvPer. -IRL/Battletag friends are all on different servers. -The couple pugs i picked up for points just never stuck around, instead wandered off the next week in search for quicker points. -My guild has an average of 7 plus people online, who most of the time aren't 85, or are 85 but not geared, or don't PvP at all. So, i'm still searching for that committed partner. =/ My RBG rating is pretty much non-existant. Why? I've never done any! I'd like to, but i never got the slot on any guild teams simply because i didn't fill the requirements for the position. (1750+ etc, etc) so, yeah. My profs? I'm extremely lazy when it comes to professions. I'll get them maxed out at some point. TL;DR I just wanted to explain to everyone that i'm not actually a bad player, just had some bad luck, and arrangements! =/ -EDIT- I got my weapon enchanted, and accidentally left the 3 up there. :O And, i cleared DS LFR, so i'm an accomplished LFR hero now.
Edited by Dinofac on 9/14/2012 7:03 PM PDT
Welcome to Darkspear... i would highly suggest you not to get landslide... usually ret use weapon chain...
It's funny, because i actually transferred here from Velen! And really? I got some bad advice then=/ |
When i get home i can give you leg enchant if still needed.
Good luck, welcome to Darkspear, even tho this is a big server... its an cold harsh place. Try to find some good arena based pvp guild and play with everyone.
You will be fine, dont even worry about gear.. atm MOP is couple of weeks away everyone's heroic / PVP gear will be replaced... |
Seriously? That'd be great! :D Good luck, welcome to Darkspear, even tho this is a big server... its an cold harsh place. Try to find some good arena based pvp guild and play with everyone. And thank you sir! |
And the absolute pathetic people that pay this game grows...... Do you get satisfaction when you go out of your way to insult people? This guy did absolutely nothing to you and you're calling him pathetic for no reason. I have nothing to say besides the fact that you are a genuinely bad person and you should take a good look at yourself and wonder why you're such an !@# to people who've done nothing wrong to you. |
It sickens me that our leader, Varian Wrynn has no beard. How can he lead the mighty alliance beardless? That magnificent chin of his, how does it not have a beard? |
I will give the Greek Legion guild this. You are absolutely the only guild that can have 5 members running around Tol Barad and I can take out every last one of you at the same time. You guys are great! Kid still has Fear and Vengeance, move along nothing to see here |

Review – Some Velvet Evening's "No Law Against Talking"
With 70 some odd years spent fleshing out the concept of country music, it is darn near impossible to put out a country music project, let alone a neo-traditional one that thrives on going back instead of forward, that is able to find a truly original approach. But Some Velvet Evening, with their use of subtly, sarcasm, and sexual innuendo without sacrificing substance does that very thing.
Some Velvet Evening is the sound of sexual frustration. I've been saying that the permeation of irony in modern American culture has killed camp, but No Law Against Talking is a booster shot right in camp's buttocks. By taking country's conservative, family-friendly foundations and turning them inside out, yet still staying completely within the confines of them, the duo of Carrie Shepard and John Holk engage you with a mad, sick, but still sweet and simple paradox of sensations and thoughts. Some Velvet Evening splits the creative atom. When you listen to their songs, you are in two places at once, listening with two completely different perspectives that are at war, but at the same time harmonious. It is music parallax.
Their commitment to their sexually subtle songs is deep. If they used this formula just for one or two of the songs, those songs might have been good, but the album concept may have fallen apart. Make no mistake, this approach is a bit, but it is a good bit, executed well, and neither over nor under done. Though not all of the songs employ this bit, they all work within the general framework and theme of the album.
The first two tracks "Shooting The Breeze" and "Ain't No Law Against Talking" start you down the path of innuendo, but then "Still Have Your Hat" is a rather sweet and straightforward country song, only to lead into the suggestive "Behind The Line". So much of this album's effectiveness depends on the song order, and though there are stronger and weaker tracks (as with all albums), the order of this album's songs is a practice in genius all to itself.
After listening a couple of times through, I had determined it was worthy of a positive grade, but I was going to preface it with a warning that this album is not one you listen to over an over, it's more like a piece of fine art, where you appreciate the technique and perspective they used and move on because there's no deep visceral appeal that makes you crave the music in the long term. But I'll be damned if after listening to this album for a while, the songs really stuck to my bones. Despite the 'bit", there is real substance to the music, singing, and lyrics here.
The Louvin-style close harmony approach, supported by excellent ear and arrangement really make the singing of Some Velvet Evening something special. Carrie Shepard has spectacular tone and control to match the natural sweetness of her voice, and John Holk's soft and smart accompaniments and leads compliment Carrie, along with the sweet nature of the words and themes of the songs. The mastery of the subtlety in the music is what grabs your attention first, but then the singing and songwriting rallies to reveal their music as something to be taken very seriously. The instrumentation is also solid, and appropriate to the "golden age of the Opry" period the music is set in.
The liner notes for this album are sparse, and the internet is no help either. There is a lot of mystery to this album and Some Velvet Evening, and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't want to know if Carrie and John are an item, or if they're theater nerds and this is an extension of that world. I just know that they touched on something in No Law Against Talking, and that same "something" is captured just as well in their video for "Shooting The Breeze" (see below).
However, this is one of those albums that the warning needs to be issued that it is not for everyone. Not only will some not get it, some will be vaguely insulted by it. Sarcasm and subtly is for old souls. But on the flip side, the vagaries in which this music works means you could play it for your 80-year-old grandmother or 6-year-old daughter, and they might love it. This really is an artsy fartsy-feeling project, but I beg you, don't overlook the substance.
As for a grade, give it 1 3/4 of a possible 2 guns up, only held back by a couple of slightly weaker songs, and the great likelihood for misunderstanding of this project.

I keep getting surprised by the quality of music coming out of MI. Although I feel I shouldn't be seeing as I live here lol
Sweet. I never would have known about this.
In the video, I keep waiting for that SNL style punchline but it's not there. That makes it like a real song. Great bit!
You are right about this music standing with one foot in each of two boats. Really subtly provocative. Thanks for sharing this!
just bought this CD from CD Baby. looking forward to plugging it in the car CD.
John is a class act, and I miss all the opportunities we used to have to play together. Carrie's spirit goes a long way to helping the community thrive here.
great people, great album..and the video always brings back a ton of memories of the classic honky tonk tuesdays here in detroit. -
I really like it. Appreciate the heads up Triggerman.
Glad to see you cover this finally… John is awesome. He appreciates and understands music probably better than anyone I know. I had the privilege of taping one of his other projects last spring and was blown away. I saw Carrie for the first time about 3 or 4 years ago at a Honky Tonk Tuesday event featuring the songs of Hank Sr. and thought then she was great so I was pretty happy to see her and John put this project together..
love this CD. it will be plugged into the car CD player until i can at least sing along.
probably longer.

What type of engine are you currently running?
What is the power output range you are hoping to obtain? |
There are a lot of companies that will sell T56's capable of 400-450 ft/lbs torque.
If you need more, G force makes an upgrade kit for the T56 that'll take even more power. G force T56 And if you need even more than that, you can get a jerico, G force, or liberty's gears racing transmission; as long has you have a lot of money to spend. dh
81 Grand Prix, 355, 700r4, 8.5" 4.10 64 Oldsmobile Jetstar, all original |
Currently the engine is a TPI 350 producing somewhere in the mid 300's for hp and probably a tad over 400ft lbs or torque. Eventually I will be building a turbocharger system for it and would like to have a transmission that will handle such power. While that probably wont be for a year or two at least, its always good to plan ahead. I plan on making 600-700hp with the turbo application.
Bringing history and technology together. |
Would it be more economical to have a T-56 rebuilt to handle higher power from the get go? Also, how is the gear ratio spacing compared to a th-350? I'd imagine it is tighter as there are more gears. I imagine this would be more beneficial for keeping the engine in its desired RPM power range.

The G-Force ratios are here:

strongest 6 speed
I believe Corvettes used a ZF 6 speed in the mid 90's? This transmission is supposed to be super stout.

My home is homesteaded in Florida. I have outstanding credit card debt that has gone to collections. I have been notified the collections attorney is seeking summary judgment against me. If he wins, can he attach a lien against my primary homesteaded property? And can that force a sale to satisfy the lien? Also, after the lien attaches, will that make it difficult to get title insurance if i voluntarily want to sell my home?
Technically, yes they can attach a lien, but it's not enforceable in Florida -- as long as it's your homestead property. You can file a Declaration or Notice of Homestead to avoid creditors from attaching your property. The creditor may also try to attach other property, which may also be protected under Florid alaw. You should see a knowledgeable debt defense attorney to find out more about your rights.

Matt Damon and His Daughter Stella Bundle Up For a Stroll in NYC
Matt Damon took his youngest daughter, Stella, for a walk in NYC yesterday. The two were dressed warmly for the chilly day, and doting dad Matt stopped to check on his little girl in her stroller. It was a big week for Matt, who celebrated his 42nd birthday on Monday. He was also on hand to support his longtime friend Ben Affleck at the premiere of Argo last night, along with George Clooney, Michael Douglas, and Bryan Cranston.
While his BFF Ben has been garnering praise for the film, Matt is also making waves with his upcoming project, Promised Land, which he cowrote with John Krasinski. The drama focuses on the energy industry and hits theaters in late December.

I know you won a DD and all, and that's probably the only reason why I am here to see this, but that being said, I think it'd be a lot more moving if instead of focusing so intently on the imagery they are surrounded in, focused more on the memories they shared.
Even if you've never had an imaginary friend, it's not that hard to 'imagine' as it were, what kind of things you may have done as a kid that made sense to you at the time, but as an adult may have seemed ridiculous. For example, I remember when the movie starship troopers came out, me and all my friends ran around the playground at my elementary pretending to be a squad of soldiers taking out giant alien insects with our state of the art weaponry. I think most of us "played pretend" when we were kids growing up, and if you have too, you could pull on that as a reference.
If you focused more on the memories shared, I'm sure you could even get people who've never had an imaginary friend like yourself, crying by the time you made it to the last line. If you need a movie for reference, you could maybe check out the film "Drop Dead Fred" as the entire movie is about a grown up girl, who meets her old imaginary friend, and how she finally grows up from her childhood, late in her adulthood.
I'm a writer, I should know, and no it's not "harder". There are different styles of writing just as there are different styles of art, and if an artist for example only draws cartoons, they have not explored the technicalities of drawing live people, that could greatly improve their technique.
As far as using imagery, no, it's actually pretty easy, since all you have to do for imagery is think about what physical qualities of the world you find you'd like to describe and then describe it. It's much harder to convey and describe feelings, or personal philosophies without sounding like a fool. So in fact, the truth of the matter is in comparison to describing things we cannot touch, see, or often explain, looking out your window and writing that down is much much easier.
That aside, since you clearly weren't paying any attention, I said that if they didn't focus so intently on the imagery and focused a little more on the memories shared, they could have likely drawn more people in, or even had people crying by the end. As a writer, incorporating more than one things is very important, and they were obviously leaning too heavily on the imagery side, while the imagery itself was sometimes repetitive or redundant. If they gave background to these characters, so we knew what they were like, and what they did, everyone would likely become attached to them and their exploits, so that by the time you got to the end, you're bawling because now you have empathetic feelings rather than a scene with very little to relate to.
As for why SHE won the DD it doesn't really matter to me. Winning a DD is everything and nothing. It's a brief splotlight moment while it can also be the break through people need to get more known. All in all, it's nice, but not that big a deal.
