SeasonPostseasonGame LogSplitsvs PitcherNotes10/1/2014 9:39:00 AMDescription: Adam Dunn admitted that despite the extra-inning loss in the American League Wild Card game to the Royals on Tuesday that his career is still likely over.Insight: Dunn plans to retire after playing 14 seasons in the league. Dunn had the longest active streak without a playoff appearance, which stood at 2,001 career games. He did not make an appearance in the game Tuesday, but Dunn told MLB.com he does not hold any regrets. "Let's not make a bigger deal out of it. I love Bob [Melvin]. He's one of the best managers I've ever played for." The 34-year-old is 35th all-time with 462 home runs. 9/1/2014 6:46:00 PMDescription: Adam Dunn went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in his first game with the Athletics Monday.Insight: The White Sox traded Dunn to the A's Sunday.

Paul Konerko is DHing. 8/13/2014 6:35:00 PMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn has homered in two straight games.Insight: Dunn has six hits in his last 40 at-bats; four left the yard. He's hitting .222 with 19 homers, 47 RBI, 41 runs and a .788 OPS, not fantasy-worthy numbers in most leagues. 7/30/2014 10:48:00 PMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn has gone 1-for-4 with a solo homer in each of the past two days.Insight: Dunn still has good power, but he's no longer the 40-homer threat he used to be.

Dickey.Insight: Dunn is 6-for-13 with two homers and a 1.423 OPS against Dickey. Its been another all-or-nothing season with Dunn, .229 batting average with 85 strikeouts along with 12 homers. 6/26/2014 9:34:00 AMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn should be firmly planted on your bench for Thursday's unfavorable matchup against J.A. Happ.Insight: Dunn id 1-for-12 with four strikeouts against Happ. Dunn's .229 batting averahe is higher than the past three seasons, but he's still an all-or-nothing guy with 12 homers and 85 strikeouts. 6/25/2014 11:14:00 AMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn has struggled against Baltimore right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez throughout his career, notching just five hits in 32 at-bats (.156).Insight: One of Dunn's five hits was a home run (no shock there) but he's struck out 19 times against the once-dominant right-hander. Dunn's average, however, is 71 points higher against right-handers this season and 11 of his 12 homers have come off righties. His OPS is also .875 on the road compared to .732 at home, so if you're feeling lucky, Dunn could surprise. 6/18/2014 6:34:00 PMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer Wednesday against the Giants.Insight: Dunn entered Wednesday's game 11-for-34 (.324) with four home runs against San Francisco starter Tim Hudson and he went deep off Hudson in the fifth inning Wednesday. 6/14/2014 11:12:00 AMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn will take a seat with left-hander Danny Duffy on the mound for Kansas City.Insight: Dunn is batting just .189 against lefties this season in limited action. Paul Konerko will be the DH. Hot6/7/2014 9:52:00 AMDescription: White Sox DH Adam Dunn has homered in three straight games.Insight: Dunn is very streaky and right now he's on the upswing. His numbers -- .234, 11 HR, 28 RBI, 22 R, .843 OPS -- are in line with what he usually does.

My baby wants to be held all the time. Help!
My 2-month-old will only stay quiet for a few minutes after I put her down -- then she starts crying. I try everything to settle her down, but she won't stop crying until someone picks her up again. I feel like my arms are about to fall off. What can I do?

Try laying your little one on a blanket and lay near her. Give her interesting things to look at - like colorful toys. This helped my baby girl learn that she can't always be held. She is now an Independent almost 2 year old that still loves to cuddle. :-)posted 07/06/2012 by Mamma_Bree
@vangal3 you obviously misread my post I said a MIN of eight hours which his dr says is great... his naps were short during the day aprox 40-60 mins. My baby is well rested and happy. As I stated the problem was he wanted to be held constantly while he is awake. Now that the swing is up and running that is no longer an issue. and he is napping longer daily. so infact i did make the right choice for MY child and myself. That is not for everyone. Some prefer to let their child cry and so be it that is THEIRS and YOUR choice. I respect that you made that descion for your family. It just wasnt for me. And now I am able to get things done... NO TEARS!! Good luck with your family and thank you for your opinion.posted 07/05/2012 by OrrinLi
when my son was that age we always rocked him to bed and sometimes it would take hours and right when we would put him down he would wake up! this is a hard thing to do but what you need to do is put her down at night when its time for bed or start this just for naps, lay her down and let her cry her self to sleep! its sad but she needs to learn how to comfort herself. i would lay him down for bed and if he would cry for 10 min i would go in and comfort him and then try again! hope that helps!!!posted 07/03/2012 by hpinky88
OrrinLi : thats your choice. but just to let you know. your baby should be sleeping 10 to 11 hrs not 8 hrs. The fact that your baby only take short naps and sleeps 8 hours are signsthat your baby doesnt know to sleep well. ask your doctor and read books on how to help your baby sleep longer.posted 07/03/2012 by vangal3
@vangal3 No my son sleeps during the night for min of eight hrs.. No sleep issues, small naps during the day. But when he is up he wants to be held. So I will hold him until he feels more confident and I think I will try the swing instead of letting him cry. Glad the method you chose works for your children. I will not and can not let my baby cry histerically. Day by day I have been putting him down and lay down next to him, talk and play with him... he seems to be getting better.posted 07/02/2012 by OrrinLi
babies need their moms. they cry because that is the only way to express some kind of distress. it does not last forever. you sound sleep deprived yourself which is possibly part of the problem. ask someone to help you out part time so you can get some rest. My kid slept well, we had some all-nighters and between my husband and I we took turns to hold her up, because most times it was a gas-issue. I am sorry that you are having to go thro this; I wish I lived closer to you so I could help.posted 07/01/2012 by duaa10
you've failed to address anything. How are did your babies sleep or nap? If not so well. Do you know how sleep deprived your babies or alot of babies are or were? a big issue for babies and toddlers is sleep deprivation. you've failed to acknowldge the fact that this website was established for mothers who CARE and love ethier babies not because they dont. Yet you still preach this theory blindly.posted 07/01/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
this is 'continuum concept MOM' - all we need to know is that WE are the parent - till the age at least 3 babies look to their 'mom' for comfort. they did not ask to be brought into the world, we wanted them, at least most of us did. I find it impossible to imagine a mother would allow her kid to 'cry it out'... some of us just need the kid to stop crying, sobbing.... and we are the ONLY ones who can make that happen.. yes we are tired, yes we are irritated, but its not the kid's fault. all they are asking for is 'mom' and if mom decides not to be there for them... poor kidsposted 06/30/2012 by duaa10
wow, omg. to the person who talked about the continuim concept. you do not know what you're talkin about. I allowed my son cry it out for a total of a week and sporadically so he can sleep better for his own good when he was a few months old.Now he is almost 8 months old, and people who meet him tell me that he is a smart baby. They can see that I take good care of him and love him to death and he is an excellant sleeper/napper. What your talking about is careless neglectant parents. we all know that most moms on babycenter love thier lo. I know two moms who (Love thier babies to death., who never imagined trying the CIO method) who was also at thier wits end because thier lo was not sleeping through the night. After they let thier lo cried it out, they were great sleepers. I think you living in a fantasy world. If your not a mom then keep your thoughts to yourself.posted 06/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
for all those who use the 'cry it out method' I suggest the next time you need to cry and have someone hold you, put yourself into bed and 'cry it out' - AND SEE HOW THAT FEELS. read the 'Continuum Concept' to get some info about babies. they are BABIES not adults, their needs are different to that of adults. use your 'intuition'!! they are your babies, not monstors.. its not their fault... always remember THEY ARE BABIES!! There is no 'judgement' here, just simple common sense. yes we get tired, yes, we get irritated but are we supposed to take it out on the kids?? PAH!posted 06/27/2012 by duaa10

Housed in a green-label PCGS holder, this boldly defined Wreath cent has nearly flawless golden-brown and steel surfaces, with traces of faded orange mint color on the reverse. Faint bluish overtones add to the eye appeal of this Superb Gem specimen.
The Finest Known Sheldon-8 Cent
The 1991 Noyes Plate Coin
The Finest Known Sheldon-8 Cent
The 1991 Noyes Plate Coin
Variety: Sheldon-8, Breen-13. Breen's Die State II with a diagonal bisecting crack through the wreath, faintly reaching the first T in STATES and the final A in AMERICA. In October 2000, the Goldberg cataloger was confused and called this piece S-9 in the headline and S-8 in the description. It now appears on their website with the incorrect S-9 attribution.
Population Data (5/14): PCGS has certified three high-grade Wreath cents. An example of Sheldon-5 is certified SP68 Red, this example of S-8 is graded MS68 Brown, and an example of S-9 is graded MS69 Brown. All other Wreath cents pale in comparison.
Heritage Commentary: Bill Noyes grades this piece MS63 with Choice surfaces and places it in the top spot in his census, ahead of the Naftzger duplicate, which he grades AU55 and calls second finest. Del Bland concurs with the MS63 grade and also calls it finest known, ahead of the Eliasberg coin, which he grades MS60. The advanced collector who seeks the finest known has waited 14 years for this coin to appear again and is advised not to miss this opportunity. This is only the fifth public auction appearance of this piece in the last century, trading three other times in private transactions.
In 1910, Thomas Elder called this coin "A prize." In 1945, the J.C. Morgenthau catalogers, Wayte Raymond and James Macallister, wrote: "Has all the qualifications of a Proof except the mirrorlike surface." The Stack's cataloger in 1984 called this cent a coin of "paralyzing beauty." The cataloger for Bowers and Merena in 1998 used the word "Spectacular" to describe this cent.

The PREP coursework will allow trainees to develop important new skills and to supplement their prior experience, as well as to demonstrate their academic preparedness for doctoral studies, and to complete requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the URMC. Coursework will include two small required classes (Ethics and Microbiology Student Seminar). Trainees will also be permitted to take a total of up to 10 optional credits of additional coursework at the recommendation of the PREP Steering Committee and trainee Supervisory Committee (with input from the trainee). These may be selected from among "core" courses that are required for the URMC Ph.D. curriculum, and "elective" courses involving quantitative/mathematical skills or other disciplines.
In most cases, the number of optional academic credits per semester will be limited to 4 credits or less, but flexibility will be retained to best meet individual trainee needs. The total amount of coursework in this program has intentionally been kept to a minimum to allow trainees to focus on their research. The decision as to which courses a particular trainee should take will be based on:
- recommendations by the PREP Steering Committee and the trainee's Supervisory Committee, following evaluation of the trainee's prior academic record and research focus.
- the particular desires of the trainee. Note that the employer (mentor) will provide his or her trainee with flexible scheduling of work activities, in order to make coursework feasible. Flexible scheduling of this kind is common at the URMC.

The Mad Scientist's Guide to World Domination: Original Short Fiction for the Modern Evil Geniusby John Joseph Adams
CATEGORY: Secret Identity Management Variables
RULE 967.2b: Managing Your Love Life Is No Easier for Geniuses
SOURCE: Professor Incognito, Instigator of Martian Rule
VIA: Austin Grossman
Our first journey into the realms of madness looks reasonable enough. How crazy can an itemized list really be? Well, in this story, a simple list of Professor Incognitos apologies reads like the confession of a remarkably evil genius.
Professor Incognito likes to live the lifestyle of any classic supervillain. Hes got secret rooms and hologram projectors, midnight costume changes, and plans for sentient tigers.
Theres just one barrier lying between him and perfect happiness: his fiancée. Is there any way to explain to her that beneath his mild-mannered façade as a physics professor, hes got the skills to take over the galaxy? Is there any way to reconcile a relationship built on lies? And should he wear his costume to their next couples counseling appointment?
Beneath the humor, this tale asks a more chilling question: What role do secrets play in our relationships—and do we really want to know everything about our partners? It doesnt take a genius—evil or otherwise—to fear the consequences of a love built on lies.
If youre receiving this message then you have probably made a startling and disturbing discovery regarding the nature of my scientific work.
Please forgive the unsettling nature of my appearance—the holographic projector is my own invention and probably very lifelike apart from the change in scale, which I believe lends a dramatic effect. I understand if it initially gave rise to confusion, panic, or small-arms fire. Needless to say—I have to add this—your puny human weapons are powerless against me.
I am recording this because I just gave you the key to my place, and although weve had the "boundaries talk" several times these things still happen and I wanted to have a chance to explain.
To get this far, you must have found the false wall I put in at the back of the bedroom closet. You must have pushed aside the coats and things, found the catch and pulled it aside to see the access shaft and the rungs leading downward to an unknown space deep beneath this apartment complex.
Did you hesitate before descending? Perhaps you still supposed this might be a city maintenance tunnel—strange, but surely more plausible than what followed. You must have started the elevator manually. (Ive always admired your resourcefulness at moments like this.) And then you would have had to guess the combination to the vault door; tricky, but then of course you would know your own birthday. So maybe then you realized where you were, as the vault door opened and the rush of escaping air ruffled your black hair, and you crept inside, lips parted, flashlight at the ready. And you heard the electrical arcs sizzle and smelt ozone, and the glow of strange inventions cast a purple light onto your face, and you found yourself standing inside my secret laboratory.
Maybe this is for the best, you know? I think you should sit down—not on the glowing crystal!—and we can talk. This may take a while but fortunately the silent countdown youve triggered is quite lengthy.
I completely agree that this is very legitimate breakup material. I know thats what Kris would say—will say—shes said it about a lot less. Plenty of people—say, InterPol or the federal government, or the Crystal Six—would take matters much, much further. Theyve certainly tried.
This isnt the first time Ive faced discovery. Secret identities are fragile things; you set up a dividing line in your life that can collapse in an instant, that can never be reestablished. You yourself have already come close to the secret so many times, come so close to stumbling into the clandestine global conflict that is my nightly pursuit.
(The hero Nebula came close to unmasking me in Utah, before I lost her in the depths of the Great Salt Lake. In Gdansk I matched wits with Detective Erasmus Kropotkin. But always I knew you, Suzanne, were the greatest threat to my domination of the world.)
In any case, Im afraid this knowledge will do you no good. As I am constantly having to inform people.
I said "explain" but I think I really mean "apologize." And, truthfully, most of my apologies arent very sincere. Typically I make them just before or after an unspeakably evil act. Before hurling a helpless superhero off a tall building, I say things like, "Please forgive my rudeness," as a kind of facetious witticism, a quip to break the inevitable tension.
Im going to try and be more sincere this time, partly on the advice of our Doctor Kagan but also out of a sense that if I owe anyone on this terrestrial globe, which I will shortly crush with the burning talons of pure science, an apology, it is you.
So Id like to issue this apology regarding my rudeness, a boilerplate phrase but maybe on this occasion it can stand in for all the small inevitable, innumerable items that must go unsaid in this list: toilet seats left up, dinners missed, gestures of tenderness that went unmade when they were needed most. And, yes, for the mighty and terrible engines that must, even now, be warping through the ether toward your pitiful planet.
In the interest of precision and sincerity Id like to itemize this list as far as possible, which I know is a little too much like one of our counseling sessions. I know youre probably going to break up with me again. But please, bear with me.
* * *
I, Professor Incognito, hereby issue apologies regarding the following:
It must be a shock to learn that the person you think of as your hardworking, decent (perhaps a bit dull) fiancé is in reality the terrifying, fascinating, inexplicably attractive figure of Professor Incognito. Youve heard of me, I suppose? A name synonymous with evil and brilliance the world over? I hope so. I made a point of mentioning it enough times.
I think—and I think Doctor Kagan would agree—that this might be really, really good for our relationship. You often spoke of a remoteness about me, a part you simply couldnt reach. Maybe that was the reason you were attracted to me in the first place, that you sensed on some level a mysterious unknowable chamber you couldnt find a way into. On some level you guessed what it might be, that I had hidden away my glittering machines, seething chemical vats, the mutation ray in a place youd never reach.
Of course you did. People have levels, you would say. Engineering levels, generator levels. Hydroponics.
Your fathers remarks about Martians were both irresponsible and uninformed, but thats no excuse for how I reacted. But, and at the risk of repeating myself: the Martians are an ancient and noble culture who built golden pyramids long before human life appeared in North America.
It didnt start out this way. In the beginning everything was much as it appeared to be. I was a young physics researcher with a hopeless crush on a brilliant colleague. It would have been ridiculous, even if I werent five foot four, even if I werent maybe the most awkward individual on the planet. I would never have dared speak to you. That first kiss outside the student center is still as miraculous to me as the sunrise might have been to our primitive ancestors, long before science simultaneously cleared everything up and made it all more confusing.
And its strange because it was on the very day of that kiss that I had the first whisper of the insight that would make my career, crack open reality, and ultimately lead us to this conversation.
I knew, before anything else, two things: one, that it was the greatest scientific discovery in a hundred years, and two, that you could never, ever be told of it.
Yes, I was irritable and distracted at dinner, and I didnt listen properly to your story about Eileen and the papers managing editor, whatever his name was, which I think, in retrospect, was more entertaining than I gave it credit for. Its not an excuse, but that was the day of my first experimental proof of concept. I had discovered there is—laymans terms: a gap in the world—a space between the atoms … if you knew where to look for it. A scientific principle with endless applications for the manipulation of matter and energy.
I could have told you about it, and I didnt. I still dont entirely know why. There were legal reasons, of course; you would have been an accessory under the law. And my secrets were dangerous. Id be protecting you as much as myself. But Ill be honest: as my career progressed those reasons came to matter less and less. I know now that I can protect you in other ways, that the law can be bought, my enemies crushed or intimidated.
You were the most important person in my life, the one who knew me most intimately. Why couldnt I tell you? Maybe I was afraid you would contact the authorities. Or steal my ideas. Or call me insane.
Maybe I knew you wouldnt choose me if you knew everything about me. And maybe being in love means you never get to be a whole person again. The moment we met I became two people: the one I decided could be with you, and the one left over, the person I am by myself. A person who I could never, ever let you meet, and who became the greatest criminal genius the world has ever seen. I used to marvel at that fact that you didnt have a hidden side, that youre the same all the way through. How can a person not have a secret and glorious part of themselves that the world absolutely must not see?
In three more weeks I had a working blaster, and we met to see Hannah and Her Sisters at the Regent. I fell asleep on your shoulder, dreaming the genetic code for a race of sentient tigers.
I dont know how we each ended up thinking the other was a light opera fan. And in my defense, the reviews were very positive—I think the word "rollicking" appeared more than once. Believe me, I died a trillion deaths as we sat there together and watched undergraduate theater majors milk a comic Gothic pastiche for cheap laughs.
It was late fall, and when we met outside the theater your cheeks stood out pink against your dark green overcoat. We left our coats on inside, and all I remember of the play was feeling the cheap stiff wool of mine brushing up against your shoulder. Afterward, I walked you back to your dorm and we lamely joked about how bad it had been, and you couldnt see how flushed my face was.
That was the day my prototype force field stuttered into life, and Id laughed and fired a dozen test bullets, then had to blame the gunpowder smell on my roommates cigarettes. You sent me home.
Pausing on your doorstep, I looked up at the stars, clear and bright in the Midwestern sky, and began to formulate the glittering digital architecture that would become Craniac XII. But I foresaw neither its first words, nor its tragic final act.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. Well, maybe I wont apologize for that.
(There are frequencies of sound inaudible to the unaugmented senses of homo sapiens. But you knew that, didnt you?)
Crude, perhaps? Not so wholesome as you would prefer? You dont even know the history of the world I live in and the conflict that formed it. The moment you commit a crime in a costume you see new truths about the world. You probably think Mage-President Nixon never reached the moon.
Consider: Do you remember that weekend, we drove for four hours in a snowstorm to visit your brother and his wife. We went the last two hours without talking, not angry—just in a shared reverie as the world darkened and we felt like the one warm dry place in an infinite plane of blue-white snow and black trees and wet, gritty highway.
You didnt know it, but Iluvatar was following us—one of the Mystic Seven—but she knew I wasnt going to try anything. She lagged behind, further and further back into the dusk and the storm.
We drove on. I thought about how much power an Unspace generator could make; I thought about what kind of treads a cybertank should have to cross this terrain, and if your brother was going to be a jerk to me the entire time, and how many human skulls would go into making a really nice throne, and whether there was enough power in all Unspace to get me through this weekend, and if Craniac XIV could untangle all the messed-up stuff in your family.
Yes, well, you see, I havent mentioned it but you may be staying here quite a while. Dont try to run. Do feel free to explore, though. Given what youve said about my housekeeping in the past, I think youll be pleasantly surprised.
You know I dont like to boast, but Im really pretty proud of this place. I broke ground on the first chamber and a simple ventilation system while you were at your mothers in Baltimore, but since then its actually gotten quite extensive. When the construction robots really got going, it all just spiraled—a generator room, shock chambers, plasma containment, the xenoapiary, the panopticon, the emergency launch tubes. The catacombs below the lower level seem to be naturally occurring, but I never quite got to the bottom of some funny seismic readings. Best not be too curious.
What youre seeing is the real thing I built during the better part of our life together. Wed see a movie or have our study night and around 2 a.m. Id come back here, get into costume, and duck into the secret passageway. Sometimes Id still be spacey and distracted for a while but I eventually Id shake it off and spend three or four hours adjusting the nutrient fluid for a dinosaur embryo, or trying to tune in to the exact broadcast frequency of a dying star, or laying the plans for another sub-basement. Id get the robots going on the next phase then emerge through one of the four exits on Linden Street to see the sun coming up. Id get a coffee then hurry through the quad to introduce freshmen to the basic equations of sound propagation. Then home to sleep, to wake up in the afternoon to see you again.
It was perfect in a lot of ways; Im sad its over.
It wasnt easy. There were more last-minute costume changes than I can tell you. Wed have coffee and Id be shaking off the effect of a stun-ray, or waiting for news of my unmasking. The heroes knew for a fact I lived in this area. Captain Atom even snooped around our department at school, asking after anyone who kept strange hours, had strange ideas and perhaps a lack of interest in social activities. It would have been obvious if only they had been looking for a real person—they were looking for a stereotype. My precautions were effective but I think you were the real reason they never picked up on who I was.
I liked being your boyfriend. There were the times when it was absolutely the most blissful moment a person could have to leave the lab and know Id be having a dinner with you. When we walked in the street holding hands, Id want to check to see if people were watching just so theyd know how lucky I was.
And then, of course, there were the times when I felt like I was trapped inside a collapsing star which is in my own brain and threatened my ability to even think original thoughts, when it felt like Id made the most awful mistake in the world.
I know there must be a way to have a relationship that truly works, and I have faith that, with your understanding—and the aid of my Martian allies—we can find it. (More on that presently.)
I understand why you left, that first time. You knew there was something missing, and I knew it too. I just couldnt tell you.
There have been a hundred moments when I was on the brink of telling you. I tried to say the words out loud. I knew you were a physics major and all, but I didnt think youd be into it—power and wrongdoing—it was too strange. And I admit, a part of me worries that if I told you about it, the secret part of me would disappear.
And its too complicated now. If Id just told you at the very start, maybe you could have understood, but now? After the diggings and archenemies and sea planes … If I started now Id have to explain how I came to speak Mandarin and what happened to my original eyes. Its gone a little far.
I have my problems with Doctor Kagan, as I know you do too, but we agreed to keep seeing him and we will, although that may prove more awkward in the days to come.
I think it was harder on me than it was on you. I tried to channel the feeling into my work. I went out and met new people and tried new things. I no longer had to sleep or take breaks except on missions and to make my teaching schedule, which Im proud of having kept up. Its harder than you think for a being of pure scientific evil to hold regular office hours. You remember the day I asked you to take me back? You can thank Detective Kropotkin for that humbling moment. The night before, I had snapped the lock of his office door and was busy dusting his things with my nanotech powder. It happened that Kropotkin was waiting for me. Hed come in to work late, unable to sleep. He stood in the doorway looking especially seedy, a checked wool coat pulled on over his pajamas, but the revolver steady in his grip. Its so obvious Kropotkin is an asshole, even his allies feel sorry for him. He honestly thinks living alone and playing drunk chess on the Internet makes him a tragic hero.
Seeing him there, with his sad little grin, I realized something worse: He thinks he understands me. He actually thinks were melancholy companions and rivals in a long dance of good and evil, law and chaos. And seeing him, I felt that I was, indeed, looking into a kind of mirror, but only in that I was turning into a pathetic cliché. I realized that the person I am with you, is also part of the person I am.
The next day I showed up at your work and told you Id changed, and for once I was telling the truth. I know you dont want to be serious again too soon, but there are a few things I think you should know.
Do you remember the time when we were forty minutes late to dinner with Kris and—who was it? Bryan?—and you didnt speak to me the whole ride over except to remind me that the 3A is a toll road and you didnt have any change? God, did I hate you then, and Im sure you hated me, although I bet not as creatively.
And of course we got to the restaurant and the moment we got there, you were all smiles and I joined in as much as I could, thinking, god, relationships are a grotesque charade. No one had a bad time even though the conversation was warped by Bryans inability to leave even marginally ambiguous statements unclarified, and we were there maybe three hours. By the time we left we werent fighting any more; not for any reason, we just werent.
I was hoping it would work the same way once I subjugate your planets military.
You didnt really think I gave myself away by accident, did you? Am I that sloppy? You saw the laser burn on my jacket lapel a few days ago. You caught a millimeter of costume poking out from beneath a shirt-cuff at the fund-raiser. (I know you did.) All carefully calculated to pique your interest, I assure you. And then I left the secret door open just a tiny crack, just enough for light to leak out.
I knew youd find me eventually, darling.
Titanium steel bolts are sliding into place to secure the vault door behind you. Dont be alarmed, and please dont break anything. Ive been decent so far, and Ive taken your abilities into account.
I suppose now its time to talk about what happened three weeks ago.
You were away at one of your conferences, and I took the occasion to do a little more digging. Plunderbot and I were making a tertiary excavation on the south side, nothing serious, just laying in more server space and another heat sink, you know? Then we uncovered a power line that isnt found on the city maps. We dug around it, followed it a few hundred feet until we struck a wall of reinforced concrete. We looked at each other, wordlessly, then I cut into it, making a cylindrical opening, and stepped through into a cool, air-conditioned, well-lit corridor.
It was an underground complex.
I explored further, ready for anything except what I found. Thats right, Suzanne, or should I say … Nebula? I should have known it was you under that cheap disguise. The way you smell when I lean close to you, like no unenhanced human could.
The rearrangement of molecules is never a pleasant experience. The disorientation will fade presently. Please be patient until your powers return, at which point if you choose, you can totally start smashing things. But I just needed to feel that I was heard (as Doctor Kagan would have it) on a few final points.
Im sorry we both got angry. I shouldnt even have been robbing that stupid museum. It was a bad day. Im glad we got to talk, even if it was just a "curse you" and "youll never get away with this" thing.
Okay, elephant-in-the-room time. I, for one, choose to welcome our new Martian friends and overlords, and this is a personal choice I hope youll be able to respect. Believe me, I know how unpopular this particular stance is going to make me, but I dont think its right to bring politics into our life together. "Overlords" is a loaded word these days, and I know thats hard to get past. But you know what else is hard to get past? A glowing, golden, invulnerable Martian force field. Political views are, in my view, of secondary importance, once you see an ant grown to a hundred times its normal size.
I know youve noticed a change in me since the breakup. Ive been trying new foods, learning a new language, working out. Ive got a tracker in the muscle of one arm, and some really cool glowing rocks at home that you wont like at all. Surprising how things can change, just all of a sudden.
I have new friends now, youll be happy to know. Lots of them. Theyre an old civilization; they watched us evolve from domed palaces on their homeworld while writing sonnets and sitting under musical crystalline trees. We have long conversations about real stuff: love, philosophy, lasers. I might have let you in on it before but Ive been a little busy. They can look just like us, you know. They can look like anything they want to.
Maybe this isnt working for you right now, and I can deal with that. Im not sure I have room in my life for another friend at the moment. In time, yes, I think you will regret your insolence. Possibly on the asteroid I have picked out, where youll be mining sodium. No rush, well clear this up under the benevolent world government were planning. That is, once were done ending world hunger and, oh, I dont know, curing cancer? Youll be in the minority soon enough.
I worked hard on making this Martian thing happen, way before it was considered cool, and now that Ive gone on record I know what the question is: Do I expect special treatment? I think it would be natural for them to call upon people who understood them from the first, for positions like, I dont know, administrative director of planet Earth. Honestly, its not for me to say. But if you think theyre not listening right now, youre kidding yourself.
Heres what Im saying: Maybe this movie isnt about me at all. But it should be. The brave one who knew it was all a lie about the Martians, who was the first to stand up and say, hey, call me crazy but I think we can make this work. And maybe this is a lost cause, but right now it doesnt look like it to me, so well just see who wins this one, fair fight and no regrets. Dont judge; you dont know whats going on in those saucers. It could be pretty great.
Well, I suppose this part is the most predictable, isnt it? Its a political transition; I think thats the most sensible term. And theres a place for you. I got specific with them on this. Their ideas on gender roles arent what you call progressive, but thats exactly what a policy of engagement drives. A two-way street, right? Cultural exchange.
Oh, and the uniform. Ive laid out some stuff for you to wear, and probably youll think its going too far, but, you know, if youre into it, its traditional where they come from. I know its a little skimpy, but well be altering the weather on this planet soon. I do have two-sided tape someplace. And the headpiece is adjustable. Totally one hundred percent optional.
I wont feel bad about the conquest of the Earth; not the destruction of the Capitol Building, or the White House; not tripods stalking the wheat fields; not the sodium mines or the humiliation of your primitive military forces, nor riding in triumph in my robot steed along lower Broadway to Times Square where I will personally accept the surrender of all seven leaders of the UN Security Council. Im just sorry we wasted so much time that could have been ours, together.
I know we dont talk much about the future but I have some proposals to make. Weve talked to Doctor Kagan about models for an adult relationship but it seems to me weve been a little unimaginative.
Heres what Im saying: It would be terrible if someone were to find any of the equipment in my laboratory. Maybe they could comprehend what it was in time to stop me. It would be perfectly understandable if that person were to appropriate my inventions to use against me. Such a person would earn my undying enmity! In fact, I would be forced to consider that person my nemesis. Wed still fight on a regular basis. (I have a working mirror maze, if that makes a difference to you.)
The choice, Nebula—Suzanne—is entirely yours: everlasting enemies on a post-Barsoomian Earth, or co-regents of the North American province of the Greater Martian Solar Empire? I dont want you to feel obligated, but yeah, Im putting myself out there.
I could really commit to this, you know? Long-term. Its not what you pictured, but be honest: Wouldnt you have been disappointed with anything else? Shouldnt there to be something more to a person than what you see walking around every day—an alternate self, a secret identity or two, or twenty. Weve all had the dream where you find another room in your house you never knew about—if you found it, what would be in there? I thought hard about what that might be, and Ive done my best to give it to you—something really cool, something scary and brilliant and mysterious all at the same time. Every single day.

Marlowe Takes Berkoff's Women to Arts from 28 Jan
Editorial Staff • West End • 9 Jan 2002
Marlowe has had a long association with writer, director and fellow actor Steven Berkoff. In fact, it was Berkoff himself who suggested that Marlowe create her own show, interpreting some of his most compelling characters. Berkoff's Women is a compendium of women's roles from well-known Berkoff works, both comedies and tragedies, including Decadence, Agamemnon, East, Greek, Sturm und Drang and From My Point of View.
Berkoff's Women was launched at the 1999 Edinburgh Festival and returned there in 2001. The show subsequently visited the West End's New Ambassadors Theatre and toured extensively in the UK as well as in New York, Hong Kong, South America and Canada. Prior to its upcoming London engagement, it will play at Manchester's Library Theatre from 23 to 26 January.
Marlowe's career encompasses performing in theatre, television and film as well as directing for the stage. Her previous West End credits include Decadence, The Trial, Metamorphosis, Hamlet and Greek, all directed by Steven Berkoff, as well as Too Clever by Half and A Flea in Her Ear. Her TV and film credits include The Green Man, She's Out, Midsomer Murders, Beckett, Big Zapper and Chambers.
Berkoff's Women is directed by Josie Lawrence and produced by Rachel Daniels.

Gallery: Solar Origami: MIT Working on Super Efficient Folded Solar Pan...
Standard flat solar panels are only optimized to capture sunlight at one point of the sun's trajectory — otherwise they need automated tracking systems to follow the sun. MIT power engineering professor Jeffrey Grossman has found an artful answer to this planar problem — the ancient art of origami! Grossman found that folded solar cell systems could produce constant power throughout the day and didn't need tracking. His new designs are up to two and a half times more efficient per comparative length and width than traditional flat arrays.

Really it is great start and I think if it will be succeeded so new history come in to existence…Nice Post and informative as well as usable too.

Reed Phillips:
Your info about energy payback time is a bit outdated. For current technologies the payback time is between 1 and 4 years, see e.g.
April 11, 2010 at 5:45 pm
REED PHILLIPS: it is quite possible that they are utilizing the newest tech because there is a company out in Califorina called Nanosolar that has found a way t create solar panels without any silicon at all… this new tech is also allowing them to prototype a solar panel that is flexible which seems to match up with the article
April 9, 2010 at 11:33 am
I designed a house that does this, as per Tom Trottler's comment.
April 9, 2010 at 10:52 am
Seems like a great idea – until you factor in the extra cost of the solar panels to cover all of those surfaces. So, if the problem is limited surface area (small roof) and not the cost of installation – this is a winner. I'm guessing that there is a further search (optimization) that could factor in cost as well as kwh per day and come up with various solutions that trade off the two (i.e., with different weightings).
April 9, 2010 at 9:13 am
Agree, the efficiency of a photovoltaic only affects the cross-sectional area of the cell to the photon source. As the sun transit's the sky, this cell would only utilize the part of the cell that is exposed, while allowing a significant area of its surface are to be "shaded". The cell can only utilize the photons that cross its surface. I think a device that focused photons on a panel at 90 degrees would be much more efficient.
I wonder if this article is leaving out an important point. Current efficiencies on photovoltaic cells are not that great. The energy (coal fire, oil, nuclear, etc) required to melt the silicon and form the cell is never recaptured during the usable lifespan of a typical cell (10-15 years at under 15% efficiency). If this project is claiming a 2.5 times higher efficiency, I wonder if they are using an advanced photovoltaic (germanium, organic, etc.).
April 8, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Seems to me that this would only work because more sunlite is reflected at oblique angles. Why not bury a small solar panel inside a reflective structure that reflects all sunlite downwards at closer to 90 degrees. Leave gaps for water to drain out and use rain or spraying to clean.
April 8, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Great start! How about a follow on project? Shape a solar panel like a evergreen tree? The trunk is big enough for battery storage. It could be used to power street lights. And the tree design is already optimized for collecting light. If nothing else a self contained lighted Christmas tree could be powered.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/26/12
Whether federal mediators will provide enough help to end the NHL lockout in time to save the hockey season is still unknown. At least they had a good first day. Negotiators from the NHL and the players' association returned to the bargaining table Wednesday for the first time in a week and the first time with outside voices contributing to the talks. The location was secret, and so was what was discussed, but the talks went well enough that the sides will be back at the negotiating table Thursday. ''No comments,'' was all NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly would say Wednesday night in an email to The Associated Press. NHLPA executive director Don Fehr issued a short statement, saying: ''A small group of NHLPA staff and players met today with two experienced FMCS mediators. We expect that these discussions will resume on Thursday.'' It was the first meeting between the sides since a get-together that lasted just over two hours last week in New York after the locked-out players'...

Dare to Be a Social Enterprise
Erica Grigg
Founder, CMO
Carbon Outreach
Green Festival, a project of Green America and Global Exchange, has gathered over 1 million conscious consumers around the United States! I'm a proud advocate of Green Festivals because it provides consumers and producers the chance to really experience the benefits of ethical products. From tasting and seeing to touching and smelling, the benefits of naturally derived products are unmistakable.
I wrote an article for Treehugger to urge American businesses to consider their role in the next developments of responsible business—especially through the "social enterprise" community. For me, social enterprise models make the most sense, taking people, planet and profit into account.

Hernando de Soto is alive and well and rediscovering Memphis
This may come as quite a surprise to you since the Spanish explorer died 466 years ago.
But don't believe everything you hear. For one thing, nobody really knows exactly where he supposedly "died."
Vidalia and Ferriday, La., lay claim, as do Lake Village and McArthur, Ark., and Natchez and DeSoto County, Miss. Oklahoma has even tried to get in on the act, but it's probably just jealous.
Anyway, de Soto was supposedly the first European to find the Mississippi River, although that is also disputed, but we're not here to stir up controversy.
Let it just be said that when he saw the great river, he didn't have a vision of commerce and riverboats and battles and the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. No, he muttered a few Spanish oaths and said, "How am I supposed to get across that thing?"
He had come over from Spain with several hundred men and hundreds of horses and pigs. His mission was to find gold and a passage to China. The explorers hadn't done all that well on finding gold and when they peered across toward West Memphis, they were pretty sure they hadn't reached China yet.
Anyway, Hernando decided to let the pigs loose, forever changing the cuisine of the New World and opted to lay low for a few centuries.
He recently came back to see what modern conquistadors were conquering in Memphis.
He was a little disappointed by a few things.
"Why is just a part of the city called Cordova?" he demanded to know.
And why isn't the big airport called DeWitt Spain?
On the other hand, he was pretty pleased with having a county and a bridge named for him.
"Wish that bridge had been here when I was here last time," he said as we embarked on our new exploration of the people and places that are the Most Memphis of all.

Posted on Cabinet build steps. Carcass or Drawers first?
#1 posted 01-10-2012 09:25 PM
Yep Carcase to fit the space you plan, then build the drawers to fit it.
Though often if you were making a bunch of cabinets – you would make all the carcase parts and stack them so that you aren't trying to navigate around a bunch of bulky wood boxes and trying not to ding corners

Mackanin remains a candidate for the job, but his chances don't seem quite as good as they did a month ago. The Reds would love to land Tony La Russa if he decides to leave St. Louis."

EMO Energy In Motion
August 8th marks International World Energy Day, and to celebrate we are teaming up with some of most experienced EMO (EmoTrance) Practitioners to offer free 10-minute demonstrations or talks via phone or Skype!
Read on for the full article...
The AMT is delighted to announce the full line-up of first-class Presenters at the 2014 EFT & Energy Conference! This year's event, taking place on 1st & 2nd November at the Eastbourne Centre on England's sunny south-coast, features more than 20 unique presentations from a fantastic range of presenters.
AMT Trainer and Presenter Sam Thorpe writes:
One of the most profound experiences for which I am grateful to Silvia is the beautiful and loving exercise of shaking someone's hand and giving them full attention whilst you say; "I don't know you. I would like to know you. Show me you."
Evelyn Beaulay, a newly qualified EMO (Energy In Motion) Master Practitioner has written two wonderful case stories that illustrate the simplicity of the technique formally known as EmoTrance.
Evelyn writes: I recently completed the Energy in Motion (EMO) Master Practitioner Training in London, Gatwick for which I thank everyone immensely for helping me with my goal and a BIG THANK YOU to Silvia for passing the wisdom in a concise, simple and easy to comprehend.
On my journey home from the training, I had anticipated a quiet and relaxing evening to ponder on what I have learnt from the course thus far and how I would like to incorporate into my existing coaching practice.
Upon arrival, I was excited and called on my son (14 year-old) who was groaning in pain and was up in his room; unusual for a teen who is normally interacting with his friends on play station console.
Tickets have now gone on sale for the 2014 EFT & Energy Conference which this year takes place on the 1st & 2nd November in the United Kingdom. We're also excited to announce the new venue!
Please see:
Silvia Hartmann will be presenting the inaugural AMT Master Practitioner of Energy-in-Motion next month (4th to 6th April 2014) near London Gatwick UK and today we're very pleased to announce first-details on the course content...
In September we told you about a brand-new French language EmoTrance book by Gisèle Bourgoin and Caroline Beauchamp that had been written. We are delighted to announce that the book is now available to purchase!
To purchase your copy of the book please visit the Official Website, or read on for photos from the official launch party that happended this week...
AMT members Gisèle Bourgoin and Caroline Beauchamp have written the worlds first book on EmoTrance in the French language. The title is called "ÉMOTRANCE Comment transformer vos émotions et votre vie" and the book was launched at the « Salon du Mieux-Être » Exhibition.
Read on for launch photos and ordering instructions...
Master EmoTrance Trainer Patricia DancingElk shares an effective way of combining EmoTrance with the Occipital/Frontal Lobe Hold.
Patricia writes: Most practitioners have experienced a client that has an energy that comes up for release to be so intense that the client has a mini-melt down. And, hopefully, most practitioners have a method in their pocket for handling this situation and don't leave the client in trauma.
As a Master Trainer for EFT and EmoTrance, I have seen the effect that this has on the practitioners in training. Some go straight into healing mode and assist the client through it. Some go into panic mode and don't know what to do. That's where I come in...
New! Starting September 2013, the AMT will be replacing our one-day energist trainer qualification with an all-new two day training written by AMT chairperson and training director Silvia Hartmann. This course assumes you're already a proficient and experienced AMT energist practitioner looking to take your career to the next-level.
In this intensive two-day training you'll cover all aspects of event organising, business acumen, marketing and publicity - as well as using energy tools to release blockages and excite you about the adventure ahead.
Silvia Hartmann will be presenting the new syllabus on both sides of the atlantic:
AMT Trainer Tony Leake has written a case story which details one clients battle with weight issues, and how using EmoTrance to adjust her energetic relationship to food has made some big changes in her life.
Tony writes: Ellie came to me as she has been struggling with weigh loss for several years.
When she arrived she was very tense, visibly, she sat with her legs crossed and her arms folded.
She said that she didn't know what to expect and was feeling a little nervous. Perfect, I asked her where she felt that nervousness in her body and began to show her emotrance...
AMT Trainer Tony Leake from Nottinghamshire, England writes: Heather has previously done a couple of EFT sessions with me. Although she got a lot from them but hasn't been for a while. She described the previous sessions as being very intense and had found that talking about previous aspects had been uncomfortable for her.
I suggested that we try another session with EmoTrance as a way to help her without ever needing to talk which she agreed would be a good thing...
Read on for the full case story
AMT Trainer Magreet Vink from the Netherlands writes: I have been a headache person for as long as I know. I fell from the back of my father's bike when I was four, had a concussion at the time and I always blamed this for my headaches. There were times when I had to take pain killers every day, just to keep functioning.
EmoTrance & EFT Master Practitioner Suheyla Pinar-Alper from Turkey writes: This an account of a combined session (two hours) of EFT and Emotrance with the unfolding of a guiding star event. My client came in with intense back and neck pain. She left totally relaxed, pain-free and smiling.
She was a 42 year-old professional woman, married and mother of a 4-year old. She came to me suffering from intensive back pain, neck pain and stiffness. She had been receiving physiotherapy since September. On the Sue Scale she described her state as a minus 5.
AMT Trainer Dr Terry Lynch from New Jersey, USA, explains how she has been using EmoTrance with children and teenagers to help them overcome challenges in life, at school and in sports.
A wonderful, sparkling line up of energy experiences, new patterns and techniques and never-before published EmoTrance techniques to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of EmoTrance!
For all EmoTrance practitioners world wide, this is the place to be. Priceless inspiration in the true sense of the word, uplifting, re-charging, energizing - the very best in modern energy awaits ...
Last weekend The AMT played host to the 2011 EFT & Energy Psychology Conference here in the UK. This was the largest event we've ever organised and it was awesome seeing so many of us all in the same place at the same time. Thanks to all the presenters & guests for making the conference truly remarkable. Thanks also to all the people who've posted back their feedback and uploaded pictures. We've posted some of these online for you to see...
The Association is pleased to announce that we've carefully gone through all 70 applications to present at this years European EFT & Energy Psychology Conference and can now reveal the full schedule. This is our fourth conference and due to the overwhelming number of high-quality proposals, we've increased the presentation slots this year from 10 to 20.

The three original EmoTrance books, Vol. 1: Oceans Of Energy, Vol: 2 Living Energy and Vol. 3: Energy Magic are going out of print from June 1st, 2011. The trilogy documents the development of EmoTrance from its beginnings in 1993 to its first formulation as EmoTrance in 2001 and the many different research directions of EmoTrance until 2005. They represent a complete record of the journey of discovery at the time.
I am extremely pleased to be able to announce that the brand new "EmoTrance: Emotions, Energy, Information & Love" is now available - this is a complete re-write of the theory and practice of EmoTrance with the wisdom of a decade's worth of hindsight.
When we first discovered EmoTrance, we were so pleased with it - a direct method to use when "terrible emotions strike in real life," there and then, in the field. What a relief!
But there was so much we didn't know back then.

A little taster of the branding and webpage design for my new PS plugin. The webpage has a cool little animation where the logo (a pixel on a parachute) floats down the page into place to make the full logo.
Going "skype" fresh on the branding!
