Ruben Tejada's 10 hits, now batting better than Reyes
Ruben Tejada had 10 hits during the team's recent three-game series against the Rockies in Colorado.
Tejada is batting .310 with a .366 OBP, 8 extra base hits, 8 RBI, 1 stolen base and 13 runs scored in 21 games for the Mets this season.
"He's starting to do the things that they've been practicing, and that is not to worry about hitting for power, but spraying the ball around, using the middle of the field," Terry Collins explained to reporters after the game. "Last year, when he was most successful, he went to right-center field, and that's what he did this series and he got a lot of hits."
Jon Scippa: Tejada has maintained a .310 BABIP over his short major league career. One factor contributing to this number is Tejada's high line drive rate. Last year he ranked fifth in line drive percentage (23.7%).Tejada now has a 28.7% line drive rate on the season, 8th best in the majors. However, his BABIP is now sitting at .382. This is probably unsustainable, especially considering he has a .227 batting average on fly balls in play (Tejada 2011: .129; League Average 2011: .176). This only amounts to a couple dozen ABs, but he's also hitting .300 on ground balls compared to .252 last season.
Tejada could certainly be hitting the ball harder, and thus getting on base more with these grounders and liners in play. However, it's likely that his overall line will come down throughout the season as his BABIP drops back closer to his career average.
For what it's worth, Jose Reyes is batting .205 in 20 games with the Marlins.

A David Luiz screamer and a John Terry brace saw Fulham go down to a 3-0 defeat to local rivals Chelsea on Wednesday night.
But the scoreline didn't tell the whole story. Fulham dominated proceedings in the first half, only for Luiz to thunder home a brilliant long-range effort to put the Blues in front on the half-hour mark.
Terry headed home the second just before the break and, after Mladen Petrić had somehow turned a chance over the bar from a yard out, the Chelsea captain nodded in a second on 71 minutes.
The result was somewhat harsh on Fulham but the Whites must now pick themselves up for a second London derby in quick succession when they host Arsenal on Saturday.
Martin Jol made two changes to the starting XI that drew 1-1 at Aston Villa last weekend. John Arne Riise replaced Kieran Richardson at left-back, while Petrić took the place of former Chelsea man Damien Duff, who picked up an abductor problem at Villa. Steve Sidwell sat out the final match of his three-game ban, while Kerim Frei was on the bench. Frank Lampard made his 600th appearance for Chelsea.
On a blustery old night on the banks of the Thames, Fulham created the first opening of the game – and what a chance it was in the third minute. Some fine passing eventually saw Urby Emanuelson play the ball out to Sascha Riether, with the German's superb cross turned over the bar from close range by a stretching Bryan Ruiz, who was under pressure from Luiz.
At the other end, a snap-shot from Lampard was saved at the second attempt by Mark Schwarzer after Brede Hangeland had made a hash of an attempted clearance.
In the 18th minute, Branislav Ivanovic was lucky to escape with just a yellow card for what looked like a two-footed lunge on Petrić down by the left-hand corner flag.
The Whites were continuing to dominate the early proceedings and another crisp move eventually fell to Dimitar Berbatov whose shot was deflected wide on 22 minutes, before a dipping 20-yard effort by Giorgos Karagounis flashed inches over the bar.
On 28 minutes, Riise then hit a weak shot straight at Petr Cech from 10 yards after being teed up by Ruiz, who had been found on the left flank by a wonderful crossfield pass by Emanuelson.
Fulham remained on top but two minutes later Chelsea took the lead completely out of the blue. There seemed to be little on when Luiz picked up the ball in the middle of the park but the defender strode forward before hitting a shot from fully 35 yards which flew past a helpless Schwarzer and into the top right-hand corner of the net.
The Whites were almost level in the 35th minute. Emanuelson cut in from the left and let fly, only to see his right-footed effort tipped round the post by Cech. A toe-poke from Berbatov flew three yards the wrong side of the post five minutes later after more free-flowing football by the Whites.
What should have been a routine save for Schwarzer from a Lampard free-kick saw the keeper spill the optimistic shot round the post and, from the resulting corner, Chelsea added a second. The delivery from the right was only cleared as far as Juan Mata and the Spaniard's cross was inch-perfect for Terry who headed powerfully home.
Fulham were denied a way back into the game just before the break when Ruiz appeared to tumble under a challenge from Terry in the box. With the ground howling for a penalty, referee Mike Dean instead delved into his pocket to show a yellow card to Ruiz for simulation.
Philippe Senderos went into the book in the early stages of the second half for bringing down Victor Moses as the Swiss defender looked to make amends for giving the ball away.
It was nearly 3-0 to Chelsea just before the hour mark. Lampard worked the ball out wide to Fernando Torres but his delivery from the right was inches too far in front of the sliding Mata who had arrived unmarked into the six-yard box.
The Whites were struggling to get a grip on the game and Petrić sliced well wide from distance in the 63rd minute. Jol then made his first change of the game and it was an attacking switch as Hugo Rodallega was introduced for Riise.
Fulham could – and should – have pulled one back in the 69th minute in a moment Petrić will want to forget. Karagounis' corner was met by Senderos whose header was going in, only for Petrić to turn it over the bar from a yard out as he attempted to help the ball on its way.
And the miss came back to haunt Fulham as Chelsea grabbed a third two minutes later. After Moses' shot had been brilliantly tipped around the post by Schwarzer, the corner was headed towards goal by Torres and Terry nodded home from close to the line to grab his second of the game.
Jol made his second substitution on 76 minutes as Karagounis came off for Emmanuel Frimpong, with Frei entering the fray soon after in place of Petrić.
With the Whites trailing heavily, though, the changes had little impact and Chelsea saw out the game to make the short journey back to Stamford Bridge with the three points in their pocket.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The assassination of the U.S. Speaker of the House has shaken the nation. And the Camel Club has found a chilling connection with another death: the body of the director of the Library of Congress's rare books room has been found in a locked vault.
The Camel Club's unofficial leader, a man who calls himself Oliver Stone, discovers that someone is selling America to its enemies one classified secret at a time. Then Annabelle Conroy, the greatest con artist of her generation, struts her way into the club and gives it a sexy new edge — one it needs. Because the two murders are hurtling the Camel Club into a world of espionage that can bring America to its knees. Review:"In bestseller Baldacci's entertaining if overly long sequel to The Camel Club (2005), renegade CIA agent Roger Seagraves has set himself up in the business of freelance assassination and selling our country's secrets to the highest bidder. The Camel Club, a group of four dysfunctional crime solvers headed by ex-CIA assassin Caleb Shaw, becomes involved with Seagraves through a killing at the Library of Congress, where one of the club members works. Meanwhile, an enigmatic young woman, Annabelle Conroy, is assembling a team to engineer a 'long con,' a $33 million scam targeting Jerry Bagger, the sleazy owner of an Atlantic City casino. This time around, Baldacci wisely tones down the wackiness of the club members, focusing instead on bringing Seagraves to justice while Annabelle works her ingenious scam. The splicing of the two plots is problematic, but Baldacci sacrifices a bit of believability to cobble together a new cast of characters destined to continue fighting the forces of evil in the next installment." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"A tepid follow-up to The Camel Club, with few surprises." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"Though his two plots converge in a rather contrived way, Baldacci delivers crisp, economical prose and a cast of spies, misfits, and assassins that would make even the most patriotic citizen question the American political system." Booklist
Review:"There is plenty of action, a few tentative romantic passes and a little light philosophizing....David Baldacci set the stage for future escapades of the Camel Club. This series is a winner." Bookreporter.com
Synopsis:Oliver Stone and his Camel Club are in a race to stop a man who is determined to auction off America to the highest bidder: Roger Seagraves is selling America to her enemies, one devastating secret at a time. On a local level, Annabelle Conroy, the most gifted con artist of her generation, is becoming a bit of a Robin Hood as she plots a monumental scam against one of the most ruthless businessmen on earth. As the killings on both fronts mount, the Camel Club fights the most deadly foes they've ever faced.
Synopsis:The four mysterious gentlemen who call themselves the Camel Club are back in action for another thrilling adventure in Baldaccis instant "New York Times" bestseller. When the Speaker of the House is assassinated, the Camel Club finds a chilling connection to another murder.
About the AuthorWith his books published in more than 40 languages in more than 80 countries, and with more than 50 million copies in print worldwide, David Baldacci is one of the world's most popular novelists.

Take the ENERGY STAR Change the World Challenge! Ready to take action beyond municipal buildings? Click here:
Community Energy Challenge
The Community Energy Challenge is an opportunity for municipalities across New England to identify simple and cost-effective measures that increase energy efficiency and renewable energy use while reducing air pollution and saving money.
Community Energy Challenge members - Case Studies
Read about other New England communities that moved from plan to action in reducing their energy use
The Community Energy Challenge: Step by Step
EPA is challenging all New England communities to save money and reduce air pollution by assessing their energy use, taking action to improve energy efficiency, and seeking out renewable energy choices. EPA will provide technical assistance to every community that chooses to Take the Challenge! (2 pp, 58 K, MSWORD)
Step 1. Take the Pledge. Agree to assess energy use in your community's schools, municipal buildings or wastewater facilities. Set a target for reductions (at least 10% lower than your baseline) in energy use intensity (energy use per square foot). The timeframe for reductions is up to participants. Submit the commitment letter (2 pp, 58 K, MSWORD).
Step 2. Assess energy use. Allow the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool to help your municipality take control of energy consumption in your municipality. Track energy use per square foot, costs, greenhouse gas emissions. Log onto the ENERGY STAR Web site to assess your buildings with the help of the free ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool. Contact us (see below) with questions. Be sure to take free, online webinars to learn how to use Portfolio Manager and more.
Step 3. Understand opportunities for efficiency. Challenge participants can use ENERGY STAR resources like the Building Upgrade Manual and work with organizations across the region to identify opportunities for energy efficiency and renewables. These groups include:
National Grid
CT Energy Efficiency Fund
Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships
The U.S. Conference of Mayors
Clean Air Cool Planet
Cool Monadnock
These organizations can help you increase energy efficiency and promote renewable energy use within municipal operations and throughout your community as well. For examples of using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager software to develop an Energy Management Plan for your municipality visit Nashua Regional Planning Commission.
Step 4. Recognize successes.
Let EPA – and the nation – know about your successes. Buildings
that perform well are eligible for national ENERGY STAR recognition. With
your permission, we'll be collecting information on cost savings as
well as energy and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Just let us know
how you're doing, and remember: all data entered into Portfolio Manager
are private until you share it with us.

Energy & Water Infrastructure
EPA maintains a national webpage devoted to this topic.
Drinking water and wastewater systems account for approximately 3-4 percent of energy use in the United States, adding over 45 million tons of greenhouse gases annually. Further, drinking water and wastewater plants are typically the largest energy consumers of municipal governments, accounting for 30-40 percent of total energy consumed. Energy as a percent of operating costs for drinking water systems can also reach as high as 40 percent and is expected to increase 20 percent in the next 15 years due to population growth and tightening drinking water regulations.
The good news? Studies estimate potential savings of 15-30 percent that are "readily achievable" in water and wastewater plants, with substantial financial returns in the thousands of dollars and within payback periods of only a few months to a few years.
Determining Energy Usage - Provides tools and guidance for water industry professionals.
Cutting Energy Usage & Costs - Provides information on how to develop an overall energy management program based on EPA's Energy Management Guidebook for Wastewater and Water Utilities as well as system best practices and strategies for making your utility more energy-efficient.
Renewable Energy Options - Provides guidance documents and materials to help water and wastewater facilities implement on-site renewable energy production and/or purchase green energy.
Designing RFPs and Contracts that Promote Energy Improvements at Contract Operated Drinking Water and Wastewater Utilities - Contract language between system owners and contracted operators can impede or encourage improvements in energy management. The goal of this document is to encourage communication on the issue of energy efficiency and renewable energy between municipalities and contract operators.
Paying for Energy Efficiency
EPA's Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (SRF) serve as an important source of financing for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. Upgrades to decrease energy use are eligible for funding from these programs.
Clean Water State Revolving Fund
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
State Efforts to Promote Energy Efficiency
Some states have programs to assist public water systems and wastewater treatment facilities to better manage their energy use.
Maine - EPA, Efficiency Maine and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently concluded a series of energy management roundtables for water and wastewater facilities in Maine. For more information, contact Gina Snyder (firstname.lastname@example.com, 617-918-1837). Maine wastewater facilities in the Great Bay/Piscataqua River watersheds are also encouraged to attend a similar series underway in New Hampshire. More information is below.
Massachusetts - From 2007-2009, Mass Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ran a pilot program for energy management in this sector. The results can be found at this link: Energy Management Pilot for Wastewater and Drinking Water Plants. The participating plants, along with several other plants in Massachusetts, received ARRA (stimulus) funding for energy upgrades. A case study about the results of the pilot and the ARRA-funded projects is available at this link (PDF) (8 pp, 988 K).
After the success of the pilot, DEP, the Department of Energy Resources (DOER), Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA), and EPA New England joined forces to create a statewide program with the goal of introducing energy management techniques to all municipally-owned drinking water and wastewater facilities in the Commonwealth. All facilities will receive outreach and training opportunities and may request technical assistance. In addition, a group of "Energy Leaders" selected because of their size or existing work with energy efficiency and/or renewable energy has been invited to meet. This group will receive additional training and technical assistance, with the goal of increasing the number of facilities in the state that are "Zero Net Energy," meaning they produce as much energy over a year as they consume. A case study on Zero Net Energy facilities is available at this link (PDF) (2 pp, 175 K).

This map (PDF) (1 pg, 188 K) shows the water and wastewater facilities and districts in Massachusetts that are working with MA DEP, MA DOER, and EPA New England to address energy use.
New Hampshire - In conjunction with New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES), EPA has recently launched a series of energy management roundtables for wastewater utilities. This series is open to all facilities in New Hampshire but will have a geographical focus in the Great Bay/Piscataqua River watersheds. Facilities in Maine that discharge effluent into these watersheds are also encouraged to attend. For more information or to attend, contact Linda Darveau (firstname.lastname@example.com, 617-918-1718).
Rhode Island - All 19 wastewater facilities in Rhode Island are working to increase their energy efficiency and use of renewable energy under a State Innovations Grant provided by EPA. For more information, contact Gina Snyder (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Regional Examples
Lowell, Massachusetts
As energy costs steadily increased in the 1990's the Lowell Regional Wastewater Utility (LRWWU) began focusing on energy efficiency, tracking energy costs and cost effective process improvements. As shown in the Energy Use Reduction Chart, since 1996 the facility has decreased energy use by over 35% through investments in high efficiency equipment and adopting an approach that makes energy efficiency a priority.
Some of the key areas that have made the LRWWU energy program so successful include:
- Making a commitment to incorporating energy efficiency in system designs and operations.
- Creation of an energy management team within the organization to review energy savings opportunities.
- Tracking energy use and costs on a regular basis.
- Performing periodic energy audits.
- Setting energy saving goals and monitoring results
- Taking full advantage of utility energy incentive programs to provide evaluations and support for project implementation.
- Making use of on-site emergency generators to participate in demand response programs.
As the LRWWU continues to refine their program, they have embraced the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" approach in the EPA's new Energy Management Guidebook for Water and Wastewater Utilities. The utility is currently pursuing new energy-related projects including more efficient blowers, green roofs on all buildings, solar panels for electricity, and solar heat for some buildings.

Energy and Water and Wastewater Treatment (PDF) (1 pg, 1 MB)
Narragansett Bay Commission, Rhode Island
The Narragansett Bay Commission (NBC) operates Rhode Island's two largest wastewater treatment facilities, providing wastewater collection and treatment for ten cities and towns including the City of Providence. The two facilities, which receive both wastewater and stormwater flow, use a combined total of 27,000,000 kWh per year. For years, the NBC has pursued an active strategy of energy management planning to reduce energy costs and associated effects on the environment. In 2008, the Commission received an EPA State Innovations Grant to work on Energy Management Planning with all 19 wastewater treatment facilities in the state.
Using the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" principles in EPA's Ensuring a Sustainable Future: An Energy Management Guidebook for Wastewater and Water Utilities (PDF) (113 pp, 1.2 MB) and the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool as a basis for their work, the NBC developed an energy management plan for its own facilities that included audits, operational changes, energy efficient equipment purchases, and renewable energy projects at both of its facilities.
This chart shows the distribution of total electrical cost for one of the two treatment facilities.
The Commission put together an Energy Team that included facility superintendents and managers, engineers, electricians, the finance manager, contractors from the local electric and gas utility, and students from the University of Rhode Island. The Energy Team developed an energy policy and baseline reports, and incorporated audit findings to develop a set of targets and a prioritized list of projects that are expected to reduce the facility's grid purchased electricity use by 22%.
Project | Estimated Annual Energy Savings (kWh) | Estimated Annual Renewable Energy Generation (kWh) |
Electric Heater Efficiency Modifications | 12,352 | |
VFDs for WWTF Water Pumps | 387,617 | |
VFDs for WWTF Primary Sludge Pumps | 55,112 | |
VFD and Controls for WWTF Primary Sludge Pump | 38,546 | |
Heat Pump for WWTF Bi-Sulfite Storage Building | 35,040 | |
VFD and Controls for WWTF Head-works Exhaust Fan | 43,036 | |
High Efficiency Linear Mixer for WWTF Anaerobic Digester | 100,499 | |
WWTF Lighting Upgrade | 15,838 | |
WWTF Administrative Building Lighting Upgrade | 99,895 | |
Wind Turbine Renewable Energy | 7,000,000 | |
Biogas Renewable Energy | 5,000,000 | |
Total | 787,935 | 12,000,000 |
% of Total NBC Electrical Energy Use | 2.5% | 38.2% |
This table shows the energy efficiency and renewable projects that the Narragansett Bay Commission is planning on implementing in 2012 at its two facilities.
Saco, Maine
The City of Saco, Maine, operates a small wastewater treatment plant with an average daily flow of 2.2 million gallons per day. Although conventional wisdom holds that smaller facilities are inherently less efficient than larger facilities due to economies of scale, the Saco wastewater facility has proven to be the exception to the rule. The facility, which pursues a strategy of continuous improvement and has participated in many of EPA New England's trainings on Energy Management Planning, consistently scores in the top 5% of plants of its size for energy efficiency as rated by the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool, and achieves results that rival many of its larger counterparts.
Over the years, the facility has tweaked its operations to be as efficient as possible and has always worked to choose the most efficient equipment when making upgrades. In addition, the facility has pioneered the use of cost-effective solar heating and geothermal heating using plant effluent as a heat source, virtually eliminating its use of imported fuel oil for building heat and saving thousands of dollars per heating season.
This chart shows the 88% reduction in heating oil use at the Saco WastewaterTreatment Plant from the 2004-2005 heating season through the 2010-2011 heating season.
This aerial photo shows the many energy efficient and renewable energy upgrades that have been implemented at the Saco Wastewater Treatment Plant in the last decade.
Renewable Energy
This section of the site houses information on renewable energy including biomass, geothermal, landfill gas, ocean, solar and wind.
Renewable energy is energy that is produced from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, ocean, plants or waste. While some types of renewable energy have fewer environmental impacts than others, it is generally acknowledged that producing energy from renewable sources has fewer adverse environmental impacts than energy from fossil fuels. Please see the links below for information on common renewable sources, siting and development issues, funding, and policies and regulations.
Sources of Renewable Energy
Siting, Development, Promotion and Incentives
- State and Federal Incentives
- DSIREusa: Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency includes Federal, State, Local and Utility Incentives
- Siting renewables on contaminated land
EPA is encouraging the development of renewable energy by identifying currently and formerly contaminated lands and mining sites that present opportunities for renewable energy development. Using these cleaned-up areas to site renewable energy facilities is one potential way to help meet the growing national demand for renewable energy while lessening pressure on greenspace and providing economically viable and socially beneficial futures for sites that are currently under-used or vacant.- An overview of EPA's Renewable Energy Initiative on Contaminated Lands (PDF) (16 pp, 122 K)
- 25x'25
The goal of the 25x'25 program is for the United States to get 25 percent of its energy from renewable resources like wind, solar, and biofuels by the year 2025. In New England, the governors of New Hampshire and Vermont have officially endorsed the 25x'25 vision. - Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is a voluntary assistance program through the US EPA that helps to reduce methane emissions from landfills by encouraging the recovery and beneficial use of landfill gas (LFG) as an energy resource. LFG contains methane, a potent greenhouse gas that can be captured and used to fuel power plants, manufacturing facilities, vehicles, homes, and more. By joining LMOP, companies, state agencies, organizations, landfills, and communities gain access to a vast network of industry experts and practitioners, as well as to various technical and marketing resources that can help with LFG energy project development.

VEHICLE Speedo | |
Vehicle type | Industrial vehicle |
Body style | Cargo van |
Capacity | 2 (driver and passenger) |
Appearance(s) | GTA IV Grand Theft Auto V |
Manufacturer | Vapid (GTA IV) |
The Vapid Speedo is a windowless cargo delivery van featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.
Despite Vapid being GTA's rendition of Ford, the van resembles a 2003-present Chevrolet Express van but the front and back ends have been slightly altered. The same design is used for the second generation Burrito in GTA V. The badge on the rear reads Vapid ST. The Speedo features various company names, such as Deliver Me Timbers, Easy Lay Carpet, Hello Tailor and Nonna Pina's Restaurant.Performance
The vehicle is quite agile, thanks to its adapted suspension and weightless rear end. Powersliding is quite easy in this vehicle; however, in Liberty City's hilly terrain the Speedo is prone to bouncing about more frequently than other vehicles of its size. The engine is strong, powered by what feels like a high-torque V8 diesel in a rear-wheel drive layout; leading to mediocre acceleration and a reasonable top speed. Anti-lock brakes are an available option, but are not standard. The lack of ABS makes turning and braking simultaneously impossible which is a big problem when slowing down into a 90 degree turn or any type of fast driving or racing.The Speedo is, the after the Burrito, the second-fastest vehicle in the "van" classification, attaining a maximum of 145mph, but it is the most maneuverable.
Grand Theft Auto V
From IV to V, the speedo has had a new body shape altogether, looking a bit more up-to-date.Notable Owners
- Phil Bell owns a Speedo that is used as an escape vehicle in the mission, To Live and Die in Alderney.
- This vehicle cannot be taken to a car wash, but can be resprayed at a Pay 'n' Spray.
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie, he may also agree to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Speedo fetching $2,000.
- The two default radio stations in the Speedo are Electro-Choc and Radio Broker.
- Speedo is a nickname to Speedometer.
- Driving a Laundromat Van will cause several Speedo's to spawn, especially at the docks of East Hook in Broker and Tudor and Port Tudor in the State of Alderney.
Company liveries
- Can be usually found in the East Hook docks.
- It can be commonly be found in the Acter Industrial Park and Port Tudor areas.
- Used as an escape vehicle in the mission, To Live and Die in Alderney.

The Northeast Pacific list of hurricane names got a shake-up on Friday, when the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) voted to remove the name "Isis" because of its potential confusion with the Islamic militant group, the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS). In addition, the name "Odile" was retired for the death and destruction Hurricane Odile caused in Baja, Mexico in September 2014.

I would be curious to see how this performs against their Windows driver. A 40% improvement over an older driver is a wonderful thing, but is fairly meaningless in most other contexts without knowing what the potential max fps is.
This assumes that the Windows driver is somewhere close to the potential Max fps.

Residential Engagement in Academic Life (REAL) is a popular housing option open to 64 first-year students. Students live together on the 3rd and 4th floors of South residence hall and take one of four courses taught by Hamilton professors, who also serve as the students' faculty advisor. Through participation in the REAL program, first-year students have an opportunity to integrate their academic work and residential environment in a meaningful manner, and to connect immediately with their faculty member/advisor and classmates.
Practical, hands-on work recognizing and constructing concise and powerful arguments from and in everyday life, on your feet, in debate, and in your writing. Useful in the classroom...and everywhere else. Includes lecture, discussion, and group presentations.
Taught by Katheryn Doran, Philosophy
Humans have always been deeply interested in animals, and literature reflects this interest in many ways. We'll examine the complexity of representing animals in literature by reading poetry, novels, and plays that reflect the human/animal divide, imagine being animal, or use animals as symbols. We'll also discuss how these texts reveal philosophical and moral issues that arise from our relationships with animals. Texts include Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Shakespeare's The Tempest, London's Call of the Wild, and Barbara Gowdy's The White Bone. We'll also read a range of poetry.
Taught by Onno Oerlemans, English
Why are trials so fascinating? Our emphasis will be on the ways they clarify values, establishing borders between acceptable and unacceptable behavior, with attention to how they enforce cultural norms concerning race, gender, and sexuality. We will discuss literary and cultural representations of historical trials, such as those of Socrates, Joan of Arc, Galileo, the Salem Witches, and Oscar Wilde. Course materials to include readings from among the following: Plato, Shaw, Brecht, Kafka, Camus, Morrison, Wright as well as occasional films.
Taught by Nancy Rabinowitz, Comparative Literature
As an archaeological canvas, Hamilton College provides oral tradition, historical documents, and is a fascinating subject for archaeological inquiry. Its archaeological record on the lands it occupies within Northeastern North America can be peeled back in layers, focusing on both prehistoric and historic components from the first peoples in the area, the influence of Samuel Kirkland, and changes in the College over its history. Includes analysis of case studies from archaeological sites on campus, field trips to local historical societies, and use of College archives.
Taught by Nathan Goodale, Anthropology
Course assignments will be made in the summer, based on student interest. Students selected for REAL will be assured registration in one of the four courses. Maximum enrollment for each course is 16 students. Courses marked with a "W" are writing intensive.

Jan 7, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Feb 14, 2013The first one was an amusing little action flick, even if it had nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes. This one doesn't even try to be a good movie, and they've stopped pretending to be Sherlock and Watson altogether. Terrible movie.
Jan 7, 2012The movie was brilliant and the actors were even more brilliant! I really enjoyed this movie: in my opinion the people who don't like it actually don't understand it.
Dec 19, 2011really good! i really like that you have to think harder with this part. part 1 told you everything, and was simple, this one makes you think harder, and it was really epic! slow-motion scene in the forest was awesome, fantastic humour to x)
Jan 26, 2012
Jan 16, 2012This film was amazing.I enjoyed every part of it.It was very humorous at times and sometimes shocking. I would strongly recommend this film.I actually prefer this film rather than the first one!
Dec 16, 2011I liked this as much as the first one. That's saying a lot, it was one of my all time favorites. Great fun . The action flows very well and a cool surprise ending. Awesome movie.
Dec 18, 2011This movie was very thought provoking. I loved it, but I can see how other people would classify this as boring. It was a long movie. Don't go in expecting it to be like the first one, it's not in more ways than a few. Most of the battles in this are mental. Didn't really care for the fire fights, but even with the gun battles, there was always an underlined theme.
Dec 16, 2011
Dec 17, 2011Shut up critics. You don't understand good film. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows has a complex storyline, and it's great acting and gentle humor makes it a hit. Plus, I loved the end.
Dec 21, 2011
Dec 26, 2011these critics know nothing about good movies, this film better get a higher score or there will be mess, anyway a range of action, mystery and suspense make sherlock holmes a great night out
Dec 19, 2011
Dec 17, 2011The beginning of the movie is kind of boring and just plain action with less content but the 2nd half pays up for it with more chess moving.. the climax scene with Sherlock and Moriarty is just pure awesome.
Dec 20, 2011
Dec 18, 2011The second chapter is better than the first for quality fiction and for entertainment. The actors are really good, and Moriarty is a real villain. Excellent slow-motion effects, set design, costumes ... amazing film! Recommended.
Dec 20, 2011While I think they could have toned down the action bit a little bit, I thought the movie flowed really well. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr both had excellent performances, as usual. The end had the whole theater laughing, myself included.
Feb 12, 2012Complex story line. Decent acting. An amazing adventure, full of thrills at every corner. What more could you want?
Dec 16, 2011I probably laughed out loud a good 30 times during the film, which is many more times than I expected to, but it just felt bloated around the middle. I still love the action sequences, and Downey Jr. is made for this role, but it could be tightened up in the 3rd iteration.
Dec 26, 2011An improvement over the original. My audience actually clapped, I think because the ending was clever, more so than the rest of the film. It's good they killed off Holmes' love interest early so they could concentrate on the real romantic relationship between Watson and Holmes. Not sure why they tried to make Downey look like the Joker in Batman in one scene.
Dec 28, 2011Even though there are now two films in Guy Ritchieâ
Jan 7, 2012
Dec 26, 2011Much better than the previous film: I could understand everything RDJr said this time, and the action sequences were more easy to follow (just!). The central relationship between Holmes and Watson was beautifully done and it looked great. In all, a perfectly entertaining night out.
Dec 18, 2011
Dec 26, 2011Like the previous Sherlock Holmes movie I had no idea what was going on until the ending when everything came together, however overall this movie has good action scenes and is entertaining.
Dec 28, 2011
Dec 25, 2011I enjoyed this movie much better than the first. I do think Game of Shadows is an appropriate title, however, I felt there should have been more of that going on in the film. The plot was transparent at each step. Downey and Law's acting compliment each other so well you'd think this is who they are in real life. Very well paced movie.
Dec 27, 2011This was the most pleasant movie experience I have had in 2 years, after having seen the previews I feared this would be Sherlock Holmes on speed. Instead the movie augmented what was good from the first movie, and generally just surprised the hell out of me with a great plot, great acting, and the perfect balance between action and real acting.
Dec 30, 2011
Dec 31, 2011Phenomenal movie! Intense action, amazing filmography, good plot, great acting. A must see. Witty and filled with clever British humor. Keeps you on your toes.
Dec 22, 2011
Dec 21, 2011Still doing a great job at incorporating elements from Doyle's books, and Moriarity was played perfectly. It amazes me that critics liked MI:6 better than this
Dec 16, 2011Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law return once again as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in â
Dec 22, 2011It was clear that the critics no nothing about movies. One is to wonder how they even got a job. This movie is mixed with mystery, suspense, humor, and all around fun. Robert Downey Jr. wastes no time in making this action packed film full excitement. Well worth the $10+ at a movie theater.
Dec 26, 2011If I listened to critics, I wouldn't go see anything. SH: A game of Shadows has a complex storyline, average acting, gentle humor, and a surprise twist ending. THE END ? Oscar or Not? No.
Dec 17, 2011
Dec 25, 2011
Dec 20, 2011SH2 offers a great blend of action and mystery, and it's worth a few laughs. RDJ, Jared Harris and Stephen Fry are all phenomenal. The ending left a few things open to question, but I'm sure that will all get cleared up in SH3. Overall, I think most people who enjoyed the first one will enjoy this one as well.
Dec 23, 2011
Dec 22, 2011
Dec 19, 2011
Dec 28, 2011Guy Ritchie delivers his lurid best. I don't think that Moriarty is the worth enemy for Holmes. I got dizzy, lousy acts. Don't enjoy the talk, "the game," enjoy the slow-motion action scene, the forest scene is my favorite.
Jan 1, 2012
Dec 20, 2011
Dec 17, 2011
Dec 28, 2011I thought the movie was great fun. As long as you do not expect to see the classic Sherlock Holmes in the books I think you will be pleasantly surprised. The whole theatre was laughing and enjoying the movie and I was too.
Dec 25, 2011
Dec 21, 2011
Dec 17, 2011It kept me more entertained than the first one. There is certainly a lot more action. Not only is it bigger, but it is also even better than the first.
Dec 26, 2011I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Although i enjoyed the first one I didnt really think it was that great, and seeing the trailer for this one I was not terribly excited. But Downey Jr. as ever carried the show with solid support from Jude Law, Jared Harris and Stephen Fry. Good humor, good action, a fun if somewhat shallow holiday movie.
Dec 16, 2011I just went and saw this last night at a premier. I'd read a lot of the reviews so I wasn't expecting much and was really pleasantly surprised. The movie was a lot of fun. I think Law and Downy Jr. have a great rapport and do a tremendous job. Is it the English Patient? No, and it was never intended to be some critics need to understand some films are just meant to be fun.

Dec 17, 2011Not awful, just not worth watching. Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of the first, but I wanted to see where they went with a sequel. Unfortunately, they retain the same problems that made the first movie uninteresting. The plot is so convoluted that most audience members will stop trying to figure out what's going on to try and just try to focus on the film's over-saturated action sequences.
Dec 17, 2011the first one was great, and this one was horrible. It had like three cool actions scenes and dry comedy throughout. But the movie stretched way too far. People were falling asleep in the theater and booing the movie. I really didn't like it.
Jan 1, 2012The actors are great as usual. But the director needs his head examined. This movie was horrible! What a waste of time, not to mention money. The first RD Jr. Holmes was great, but this one should be avoided. It will make the 99 cent box of cheap DVD's at the Supermarket rather quickly.

Mar 24, 2013Great movie. Very entertaining new Sherlock Holmes interpretation by Guy Richie, one of my favorite film directors. Why not? The critics, again, are very wrong.
Jan 6, 2012
Dec 19, 2011Fails to capture the magic of the original, long and drawn out, too many fight scenes, not as good as it could have been.
Robert Downey plays a great part, some parts of the story where too drawn out. -

May 1, 2012I wonder how this got such a high score. I didn't find it funny, or engaging or compelling. It didn't interest me at all. Enough said. When I find a movie THIS boring, I can't help but give it a low rating.

Jan 7, 2012The worst movie since Sucker Punch. Despite the fact it steals many things from other (good) movies, this film is not just boring, but doesn't contain any exciting or unsuspected moment. Bored from the start to the end.
Jan 1, 2013
Feb 12, 2012The movie was good but the ending kinda killed it. The pity I had was quickly vanished when Sherlock was still alive. This movie had potential but thanks to the anti-climatic ending, potential no more.

Dec 30, 2012Lots of action, a fair smattering of comedy and a thrilling plot go together to make up this film. Most of it works pretty well, however there is a bit of a weak link and that is the part of the story involving the character played by the, woefully underused, Noomi Rapace. I thought it was a little weak and didn

Aug 31, 2012A very enjoyable movie just like the first, so if you liked that one you will like this one as well. Great action, the acting is once again fantastic, and it was funny. I recommend this, and hope there will be sequels to it.
Jul 16, 2012Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a solid sequel that walks the fine line between improving upon the ideas of it's predecessor or simply retreading them. Although not perfect, the movie does more than enough to entertain throughout it's duration. Is it superior to the original? To be honest, I think it's too close to call... But is it worth watching? Well, that's elementary my dear reader.

Feb 5, 2012Like the first Sherlock movie, Sherlock 2 looks great with good editing and a visual style but does not have a compelling plot or characters you care that much for. There are some charming moments but for the most part Sherlock 2 was underwhelming. I recommend Sherlock 2 if you liked the first movie but don't expect too much as its only ok and is not too memorable.
May 15, 2012I give this movie a solid, easy 10. It was fast- paced and had a more compelling plot than the previous movie. I particularly like how this movie gave you all the clues in such a way that in the end, you had a fantastic moment of blissful realization when you saw how the whole puzzle fit together and saw Holmes' plan. I would definitely recommend it.
Jul 2, 2012I enjoyed this movie, it was thrilling and comical, moved along at a fair pace and had enough of a plot to maintain interest. the effects were well done, but the sound was a bit loud, at some times it was scary, i would have rated it M15+
Apr 22, 2012This was a great followup to the 1st Sherlock movie. Costumes and locations shot are awesome. I don't understand how people can't be entertained by this movie. Every time there's a Sherlock vs Moriarty moment, the ambiance is over-saturated with snobbishness and the "I'm better than you" syndrome, which is so typical of a good Sherlock story.
Jun 15, 2013Once and for all pushing a beloved literary character into territory even James Bond is lately too embarrassed to occupy. A Game of Shadows is as unengaging as it is seemingly unending.
Jan 2, 2012If you enjoyed the first one, then this one is worth the time to see. I would not say better than the first, but very close. Downey and Law deliver solid performances.

Jan 6, 2012This movie was extremely funny and creative, the thought into RD Jr. thought proccess into how he operates is just histarical you never expect anything to come out the way it does in these movies, pretty damn good movie!
Jan 24, 2012I really liked the second installment of Sherlock Homes. I really enjoy Robert DJ as Sherlock, as well Jude makes a marvelous Watson. I really hope there will be another
Jan 6, 2012Fairly decent film. I liked Jude Law and Robert Downey's performances and the screen "bromance" they had. It had its moments of humor, and I also liked the action and the slow motion added to the action scenes. However, I felt they had no reason to include Noomi Rapce, because she barely had importance to the movie.

Jan 11, 2012I gets better than the first one. I really enjoy it. It is more funny, smarter and it has more action, which must say that it was some amazing, you can´t breathe int hose scenes, a very good film.
Nov 29, 2012
Jan 4, 2012Robert Downey Jr is best as always. The slow motion scenes are just Awesome.I will say it is better than the previous one. Amazing film everyone should watch it once.

Jan 1, 2012
Jan 2, 2012This movie was very thought provoking. I loved it, but I can see how other people would classify this as boring. It was a long movie. Don't go in expecting it to be like the first one, it's not in more ways than a few. Most of the battles in this are mental. Didn't really care for the fire fights, but even with the gun battles, there was always an underlined theme.
Jan 4, 2012
The only reason to put yourself through Guy Ritchie's overblown, inelegant Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows is to see Jared Harris, who plays Professor Moriarty, in a chilling low key.
Something of an overlong, overblown, disorganized mess, despite being slightly better than its predecessor.
What this film really celebrates is crunch-and-thud video-game-style action, not especially well choreographed by director Guy Ritchie.

Copper Flush-Mount Schoolhouse Fixture
Item #A2581
Customize This Product
For the Davis (and its little brother, the Miles), the main attraction lies in the dramatic flare of its one-piece spun-copper base, which presents a strikingly different profile than our other flush-mount lights. The wide profiles cover up unsightly ceiling installation sins of the past, and when paired with our new flatter schoolhouse shades, as shown, these fixtures shave a few inches off of overall length for rooms with low ceilings.
Based on an original design we found, the Miles and Davis offer a fresh, low-profile take on schoolhouse-style lighting. We attempted to reproduce them in brass – only to learn the hard way why the original fixture was spun in copper (copper is more elastic, and allowed the spinning to move more metal). The end result was definitely worth the effort.

This is an OK body moisturizer that has a lightweight, rather silky texture. It contains a lot of fragrance, which isn't a benefit for anyone's skin, and it lacks some key ingredients that would've made it a much better option. For a lot less money, your skin will get better results from body moisturizers by Olay, Dove, CeraVe, and Paula's Choice.
A divinely fresh and soothing gel which leaves the skin soft and quenched. Apply generously on the entire body.

Sothys Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Shockingly, this line has no strengths, but it does deserve mention for good self-tanning products and their Double Lightening Serum.
Weaknesses: Expensive; a preposterous number of ordinary moisturizer and serum formulas sold with grandiose claims; overuse of fragrance; several moisturizers contain.
We have to admit we weren't looking forward to reviewing this line. We've been aware of Sothys for some time, and over the years many women have asked us what we thought of it. We don't ever mind being asked what we think of a product line, but in this case it was the way we were asked that we found depressing. Somehow this spa-oriented line has developed an almost reverent reputation for being a superior skin-care line.
A question would go like this, "What do you think of Sothys?" We would reply, "Not much, the formulas are either out of date or contain problematic ingredients and the price tag is silly for what you get." Inevitably, the response would be, "Really? I thought it was one of the best lines around … it's French, you know?" Sigh. Yes, we do know. But …
Despite a long French-heritage, dating back to 1946, this spa-oriented brand with a vast array of products doesn't deserve a reputation for being anything other than an overpriced spa brand to avoid.
Most of Sothys skin-care formularies are so far behind the times that using them is akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer—the formulations are as ordinary and mundane as it gets. Almost all their moisturizers lack any reasonable amount of antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, or cell-communicating ingredients. Also consider that there are no effective products for those struggling with blemishes or blackheads, despite their claims. It is astounding that in a line with dozens of facial moisturizers (most with repetitive formulas), not a single one includes a sunscreen. How can this brand be so incredibly blind to the number one cause of wrinkles and skin aging? If they aren't aware of the critical importance of sun protection, then how much do you want to trust them in any other aspect of helping your skin?
Sothys makes much ado about the training it provides to aestheticians. Not having attended any of their classes, we can't speak specifically to the content of what they teach, but if their products are even vaguely representative of what they inculcate, woe to those aestheticians who rely on Sothys as their source of skin-care education.
When all is said and done, and you've gotten past the smoke and mirrors, nothing else matters if you don't have well-formulated products, sunscreens, exfoliants, acne products, options for rosacea and sensitive skin, and/or reasonable pricing. And that's where Sothys falls flat on its scrubbed, steamed, masked, and spa "purified" face.

Golden Eagles win 11th straight; sweep No. 2 ranked Siskiyous
April 12 – Feather River College played host to the No. 2 ranked team in the North Siskiyous College. Siskiyous came to Quincy with an impressive 11-1 conference record. Quality pitching and timely hitting were the theme for this battle with top-ranked teams. Behind the arm of Annalee Rubio and bat of Tess Oliphant, the Golden Eagles proved to be a tough matchup for Siskiyous, winning game No. 1 3-0. Rubio pitched seven strong innings, giving up just five hits while striking out eight. The Golden Eagle offense provided all the runs Rubio needed on a leadoff triple followed by a sacrifice fly off the bat of Shelby Watts to give Feather River a 1-0 lead. With two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, Tess Oliphant stepped to the plate and sent a 0-1 pitch over the left field wall for a two run home run, extending the Feather River lead to 3-0. Rubio took over from there, pitching three more scoreless innings and winning the game 3-0.
Game No. 2 was equally as tight as the Golden Eagles jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a bases loaded walk by Leah Justice. Siskiyous answered the Feather River early run with two of their own in the top of the third inning to give Siskiyous a 2-1 lead. Feather River didn't waste any time in answering the Siskiyous rally with three runs in the bottom of the third inning. The bottom of the third inning began with a leadoff double by pitcher Erica Wieck, followed by a lined shot single by shortstop Brittany Potter to tie the game at 2-2. With Potter on first, Annalee Rubio stepped to the plate and delivered a first pitch blast over the left field wall to give Feather River a 4-2 lead. Pitcher Erica Wieck did not relinquish the lead, as she pitched four scoreless innings in her complete game victory. Wieck pitched seven innings, giving up two runs while surrendering only three hits and striking out four.
April 10 saw Feather River College on the road at Lassen College in Susanville for a Golden Valley Conference showdown. The Golden Eagles dominated the day, winning both games 10-0 and 10-0. Game No. 1 was dominated by pitchers Annalee Rubio and Katie Drybread. Rubio pitched five strong innings, striking out six and giving up only four hits. Drybread pitched the final inning, striking out all three batters she faced. The Golden Eagles scored early and often, scoring runs in the first, third and sixth innings. The offense was led by Erica Wieck, who collected three hits in the game while Annalee Rubio had two.
Game No. 2 was equally difficult for the Lassen Cougars as Feather River pounded out 12 hits while scoring 10 runs.

I am a huge fan of multi-photo LOs! I take way too many photos to scrap just one! I also love double page LOs. That's what I most commonly scrap is a double spread with lots of photos!!!
Michi, I love all your layouts!
I, too, love multi pic lo's! I take sooo many pics that it's hard to just put 1 or 2 or even 3 on a page! I'm always adding 1 or 2 or 3 photo spots to templates! ha!
Lol, was going to be my next question, lol.....
love them, I don't do it as much now, but when I paper scrapped, I loaded them! The most multiple I do now is for project 53.
i'll have to make a multi-layout next!
Oh what great inspiration!! I love the LO's with both multiple and big photos!!!!
very very very VERY rarely do I scrap with only 1-2 pics! I like to pack 'em on! I take 1000s of pics a month, and I'm 2 years behind in my scrapping, so load up the pics, let's get caught up already ;) ha ha!
I am probably neglecting housework so I can be here... My Gallery
