Fearsome Ink: The English Gothic Novel to 1830
February 26, 2016 - May 28, 2016
Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library
From 1765 to 1830 English readers eagerly embraced the novels and chapbook "shilling shockers" comprising the new genre of Gothic fiction. Today these editions are rare survivals, yet this profusion of "fearsome ink" has profoundly influenced the world's literary and popular culture.
Drawing from the Sadleir-Black Collection and the recently acquired Maurice Lévy Collection—jointly the world's finest holding of English Gothic fiction—this exhibition situates the English Gothic novel in international context; explores its potential for research in such areas as literary history, the history of publishing and reading, and book illustration; and profiles the collectors responsible for building UVA's definitive holdings.More details »

My Own Master: Resistance to American Slavery
May '15 - August '15
Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library
This exhibition explores how enslaved African Americans, helped by their free and freed counterparts, challenged slavery's governance over their bodies and lives. Some such efforts are widely known, such as ingenious escapes and wide-scale insurrections. Other, more subtle forms of revolt are less familiar, such as cases of free blacks emancipating other blacks, or examples of a slave deftly manipulating her owners' actions in written correspondence. Published memoirs and manifestoes by free Blacks and escaped slaves alike were themselves wielded as powerful rhetorical weapons in the fight for freedom.
Drawing from the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library's rich holdings, this exhibition complements our other current exhibition, "Who shall tell the story?: Voices of Civil War Virginia," extending the story of the defeat of slavery backwards several decades and foregrounding the transformative actions of enslaved individuals and communities.
"Read, weep, and reflect": Creating young abolitionists through Uncle Tom's Cabin
May '15 - July '15
Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library
The ardent abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe had a specific intent for readers of her blockbuster novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin: she wanted her readers to "Read, weep, and reflect" as they read about the plights of Uncle Tom and his fellow slaves. Tie-in products for children demonstrate how Stowe, her publishers, and others seeking to get in on the lucrative Uncle Tom phenomenon envisioned extending the power of the novel to every part of children's lives. Shown here are rare examples of toys, games, and other products from the years just following the novel's publication in 1852.

"Who shall tell the story?": Voices of Civil War Virginia
October '14 - August '15
Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature, and Culture
The Civil War's impact on the culture, politics, and geography of Virginia cannot be overemphasized: battles ravaged the landscape, blockades and other political maneuvers transformed the economy, and profound regional tensions resulted in the creation of West Virginia. This exhibition seeks to reveal how Virginia was changed by the war, focusing on the voices of those who experienced it. Letters, diaries, scrapbooks, maps, newspapers, songsheets, broadside advertisements, photographs, and physical artifacts drawn from across Special Collections's rich holdings in the period reveal the lived experience of war.
The exhibition's title is drawn from a manuscript of Walt Whitman who, soon after witnessing a battle in Virginia, wrote,
Who shall tell the story?…We talk I say of stories of this war—have histories of this war already; and shall have books of full detail, hundreds of them. In printed books, full histories of this war will come. O heavens! What book can give the history of this war?
The war stories in this exhibition include those of Confederate and Union soldiers, working women and war widows, black troops and southern Union sympathizers, enslaved people and prisoners of war, schoolchildren and University of Virginia students, poets and musicians, wounded soldiers and nurses. Diverse and contradictory, this plurality of stories confirms the continuing relevance of Whitman's question.

Quantum Levitation: Traversing the boundaries between physics and design
September '14 - May '15
Physics Library
"Quantum Levitation" is an exhibit of photographs that gives the viewer a rare glimpse into the unusual world of superconductivity, where some materials brought to very low temperatures create a quantum wave that expels magnetic fields, allowing for the amazing property of levitation. The exhibit is part of a greater endeavor to foster a new kind of dialogue between physicists, designers, and graphic artists. It seeks to find new ways to present complex phenomena such as superconductivity to the public at large and, by doing so, to reimagine physics. Janet Rafner, a 4th year physics major and studio art minor, developed this photo exhibition as part of a summer internship working with the 'Physics Reimagined' outreach team at the University of Paris-Sud.More details »

Layers of the Past: Discoveries at Flowerdew Hundred
October '12 - September '13
Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature, and Culture
The recorded history of Flowerdew Hundred begins in 1618, when the Virginia Company of London granted George Yeardley a thousand acres on the James River, but as early as ten thousand years ago, successive groups of Virginia Indians began to occupy the site. English colonists, enslaved African Americans, Union soldiers, and countless others later followed—each group leaving behind evidence of their daily lives. Over the past several decades, a clearer picture of Virginia's early inhabitants and their ways of life has emerged through archaeological excavations at this property. This exhibition features fascinating artifacts and new ways of thinking about one of Virginia's most interesting archaeological sites.More details »

Big Smoke
this wiki
- This article is about the character. For the mission in GTA San Andreas, see Big Smoke (mission)
- "Respect has to be earned, Sweet, just like money."
- ―Big Smoke
Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and the secondary antagonist of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Big Smoke was voiced by Clifton Powell, who has also appeared in Menace II Society and Friday.
Big Smoke appeared as a high ranking member of the Grove Street Families who later joined forces with the Ballas, Los Santos Vagos and Russian Mafia, becoming the biggest criminal in the underworld of Los Santos.
Big Smoke makes multiple references to his desire to be remembered following his death.
Big Smoke seemingly understands some Spanish, as in the mission Running Dog, one of the Vagos says "Chinga a tu madre, pendejo" which roughly translates into "Fuck your mother, dickhead". It is possible that Smoke understood this, and attacked the Vago. Big Smoke's favourite radio stations is Bounce FM.
Interestingly, Big Smoke's intials are "BS", an abbreviation of "bullshit", which could be a reference to his deception and betrayal of Grove Street Families.
Early Life
Big Smoke was born in Los Santos, likely in Ganton due to his close relationship with Sweet and Carl Johnson, and he later became a member of the Grove Street Families. He rose through the ranks of the gang until becoming the right hand man of Sweet, being helped by the departure of Carl in 1987 after his brother's death.
Big Smoke quotes the Bible on many occasions, hinting that he may be religious. But however, Carl claims he's "still talking shit."
Joining the Ballas
Smoke also, at one point, lived in Ganton, which may have been from birth, but moved to Idlewood some time prior to 1992, purchasing a house with his aunt's money from a will. The Grove Street Families, however, began to lose influence and status amongst the city gangs, noticing that the Ballas, who control Idlewood, are selling drugs to fuel their rising influence. He then tries to persuade Sweet to allow the Grove Street Families to sell drugs, although this fails.
At some point Big Smoke forms an alliance with the Ballas and begins to secretly work with them. Smoke later includes the Los Santos Vagos and the Russian Mafia, who were hoping to get a foothold in Los Santos, into his new alliance. They also form an alliance with the Loco Syndicate who began supplying them with various drugs from their base in San Fierro, although he doesn't realise that an undercover government agent is involved in the operation.
Events of GTA San Andreas
Carl's Return
- "CJ? Ooohh my dog! Whassup? Hahaha! Hey baby, you okay, man?"
- ―Big Smoke
In 1992, after failing to convince Sweet, he goes to Ryder and convinces him to join forces with the Ballas, who later attempts to kill Sweet but fails, instead killing his mother. The death of Beverly Johnson leads to her son, Carl, returning from Liberty City, and Carl meets Smoke inside his old house. Smoke initially fails to recognise Carl but immediately accepts the return of an old friend, contrary to Sweet, who remains initially hostile. It is not until later in the game that this true intentions with the Ballas-C.R.A.S.H. unit are revealed, but several times before his revealed betrayal do many hints appear foreshadowing it.
Smoke appears alongside Carl, Sweet and Ryder in the first mission in the game, and also later appears at the funeral for several GSF members. However, during the mission, the attackers will only attack Carl and Sweet, hinting Smoke's future betrayal. He also appears playing basketball with Sweet in Tagging up Turf, and also briefly appears in Cleaning the Hood at Sweet's house. In the mission Drive-Thru, Sweet, CJ, Smoke and Ryder decide to visit Cluckin' Bell to eat; however, they are attacked by Ballas members whilst there. Smoke's refusal to open fire on the Ballas (claiming that he would only shoot when he was done eating) was another large hint to his betrayal. After appearing in the introductory scene of Nines and AKs, Smoke later helped the gang in the mission Drive-By. After this, Smoke beings giving his own missions to Carl; the first is to free an old friend (OG Loc) from prison. The next is to help Smoke eliminate a Vagos member. In the mission Wrong Side of the Tracks, before Smoke and CJ work to kill more Vagos, Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski are seen in Smoke's house; however, Smoke's comment that they are simply "nosey" hints that he is not-so-hostile towards them. CJ would then later assist Smoke in taking down Russian Mafia members in the mission Just Business, and Smoke would later assist CJ, Ryder and Sweet in the mission Reuniting the Families.
- "Shit, Smoke...C.R.A.S.H. makin' you sell us out!"
- ―Carl Johnson
The mission The Green Sabre is ultimately the turning point in both the game and in Big Smoke and Ryder's characters; in it, Sweet explains to CJ that they are going to go take down a large amount of Ballas and to meet at the Mulholland Intersection; as soon as CJ leaves, CJ's friend (and his sister's boyfriend) Cesar Vialpando tells him he must urgently meet him at an alleyway. At the ally, CJ is shocked to see Big Smoke and Ryder -- along with Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski and some Ballas members -- working together. Also, the green Sabre -- the same one that was used to murder CJ's mother -- was also found at the scene. Realizing that his brother was sent to an ambush, CJ is unable to confront the tri-alliance and is forced to go to the intersection to save his brother. Although Sweet survives, he ends up injured through gunfire and stuck in a prison hospital.
Rise to power
- ―Smoke, before the final showdown
Carl then begins to work for Jizzy B., attempting to gather more information on the operation, and later gains his trust. Carl, however, later kills Jizzy, San Fierro Rifa leader T-Bone Mendez and undercover agent Mike Toreno (or so he thought) as well as Ryder, before destroying their drug manufacturing factory, stopping the supply back to Los Santos. Smoke, however, is undetered and instead starts his manufacturing plant in East Los Santos. He also begins working as the manager of OG Loc, a rapper and childhood friend of both Smoke and Carl, who helped him by sabotaging the career of Madd Dogg. He also attempts to show himself as a philanthropist when telling West Coast Talk Radio (which can be heard on the radio anytime after the mission Pier 69) that he is using his money to try and stop the sale of drugs in Los Santos, despite being the drug baron of the city.
Big Smoke, like Ryder, continues to wear green clothing after his betrayal of the Grove Street Families becomes common knowledge. This is because Big Smoke and Ryder only have one coded outfit.
Fallen and Death
- "I had no choice, I had to do it. I just see the opportunity. When I'm gone, everyone's gonna remember my name...BIG SMOKE!"
- ―Big Smoke's dying words
In the meantime Carl is re-united with Toreno, who used a decoy on his scheduled departing flight, and begins working for him attacking those harming American interests. As a reward, Toreno gets Sweet parolled from prison and the two return home, taking Ganton back for the Grove Street Families, who once ally themselves with the formerly absent leaders. By this time, however, Smoke had become a recluse and extremely paranoid, hiding away in his drug manufacturing plant. Sweet and Carl continue their attack on the Ballas, re-taking both Glen Park (in Beat Down on B Dup) and Idlewood (in Grove 4 Life).
The Johnson brothers then decide to take down Big Smoke and his operation, using a SWAT Tank to break into his drug manufacturing plant. Carl then proceeds to shoot his way past the many Ballas, Los Santos Vagos and Russian Mafia gangsters in the factory until reaching the top floor, where he finds Big Smoke. The two become involved in a gun fight, which is won by Carl, who manages to talk to Smoke about his betrayal before his death. Smoke, showing remorse for his actions, tells Carl that he got caught up in the money and power he was able to obtain. He reminds Carl that when he is dead people will remember his name before dying from the gunshot wounds inflicted by Carl. Carl shows remorse for Smoke but is interupted by Tenpenny, who he later chases before he drives a fire truck off a bridge into Grove Street and dies.
Big Smoke is shown to have two large bullet holes in his armour following the shoot-out during End of the Line, regardless of how he is killed. It is even possible to kill him in a single punch if the "Super Punch" cheat is turned on, and the bullet holes will still show up on his armour.
Big Smoke shares similarities with Dimitri Rascalov, the main antagonist of Grand Theft Auto IV; they both started out as friends/mission-givers to the main protagonist, then later they revealed their true loyalty to another antagonist, they then disappeared for the rest of the game not appearing until its ending. Considering this, it is somewhat possible that part of Rascalov's character was inspired by Big Smoke. Also, despite the fact that they did not appear at all physically between their betrayal mission and their death mission, they still played a large role in the game's storyline throughout it. Also, since Billy Grey of TLAD also disappeared (arrested) between his betrayal and death, this trait is shared with him.
- Big Smoke drives a blue Glendale, with a white roof, which has the license plate A2TMFK. Opinions on the meaning of this are varied: Some believe it to be an acronym for 'a two-timing motherfucker', in reference to his betraying the Grove Street Families, some believe it to be an acronym for 'a two-ton motherfucker', in reference to his weight, and some believe it to be a reference to the Cypress Hill song 'A to the motherfucking K', which was released in 1993 (a year after GTA San Andreas).
Big Smoke also had a black Perennial, which was blown up by the Ballas in the mission Sweet & Kendl.
The beta version of Big Smoke is shown wearing a white Los Santos Saints jersey and black trousers, with Smoke having a bald head, which can be seen on the statute of Smoke in the drug manufacturing factory in East Los Santos. Or on the back of the PS2 case (Top, Middle) and also Sweet, and possibly Brian.

On December 18, 2012, deputies from the Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the 7000 block of Wildridge Road in Black Forest to investigate an attempted burglary. The victim of the crime reported a man had left her residence in a hurry after she discovered he had kicked in the side door to her garage. The victim gave deputies a vehicle description for the suspect and a partial license plate.
While conducting this investigation, deputies also received a report of a separate, but near-by burglary in the 7900 block of Forest Heights Circle. Numerous items of property had been stolen from the residence, including collector's coins and jewelry.
A short time later and while still in the Black Forest area, deputies observed a vehicle traveling on Black Forest Road which matched the description provided by the first victim. The vehicle was stopped and deputies immediately recognized property items inside the vehicle as items reported as stolen from the second victim.
The driver was identified as Kevin Lee Mosher, 43, joint owner of Fast Cash Pawn and Loan located at 203 N. Chelton in Colorado Springs.
While the investigation continued, deputies were told by another motorist of an additional burglary in the 15000 block of Milhaven Place. Evidence found at that location was linked back to Mosher as well. One additional burglary on December 18, 2012 in the Black Forest was also attributed to Mosher.
Mr. Mosher was taken into custody and booked into the Criminal Justice Center for Second Degree Burglary and Theft.
Information became available to deputies which indicated Mosher may be connected with additional burglaries from Douglas County. A collaborative effort began between the El Paso County and Douglas County Sheriff's Offices. Several search warrants were executed today, to include one at Fast Cash Pawn and Loan; stolen property was recovered from that location.

The North American wind industry has seen an upward trend of foreign wind farm developers, owners and operators entering the market. Wind energy production has increased dramatically over the years in the U.S., attracting attention from nondomestic developers. And Canada's recent jump in wind energy capacity not only created a record-breaking 2006 – more than tripling its goal – but also has foreign developers turning their heads.
According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), a total of 6,725 MW of wind energy was available in the U.S. in 2004. In 2005, that number jumped to 9,149 MW. As of Sept. 30, 2006, there was a total of 10,492 MW of installed capacity in the U.S., AWEA says. The Department of Energy adds that wind energy is the second largest new source of power generation in the U.S., after natural gas.
Now is a good time to join the U.S. market, says Mac Moore, Conergy AG's regional head in North America. He notes that the U.S. is the largest energy market in the world and has long-term prospects. Americans' attitudes have shifted toward consuming renewable energy instead of carbon dioxide-producing energy particularly because electricity and gas prices have risen and the government has promoted 'reducing its dependence on foreign sources' through tax incentives.
Germany-headquartered Conergy saw the U.S. as a viable market and recently expanded two of its subsidiaries – voltwerk and Suntechnics – into the eastern U.S. The new office, which will most likely be stationed in Pennsylvania, will finance and develop solar, wind and biomass projects along the East Coast.
Suntechnics concentrates solely on solar systems for residential and commercial buildings, and voltwerk has developed both solar and wind projects in Germany. Moore says because of the shortage of wind turbines, the Pennsylvania headquarters will develop solar photovoltaic (PV) projects initially and then use voltwerk's expertise to develop wind farms in the future.
The goal of the company is to obtain 50% of its revenue outside of solar PV and generate 50% of its revenue from international sales by 2008. However, whether wind, solar or biomass projects will be developed depends on which market and region will create the most earnings for the company.
'We are looking at Canada and all countries around the world where there's a reasonably attractive market for renewables,' Moore comments.
Canada has become an attractive market because of its recent growth, particularly in 2006. According to Robert Hornung, president of the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), Canada developed close to 800 MW of installed wind energy capacity during 2006 – far surpassing its goal of 240 MW for the year.
'There's no doubt that there's growing interest from outside Canada in the Canadian wind market,' Hornung says, noting that provincial commitments and targets suggest that about 10,000 MW of wind energy will be online in Canada by 2015.
'This provides an indication that the growth that's occurred this year is not one-off, but is just the start of a period of steady growth going forward,' he adds.
Illustrating the attention that an expanding Canadian wind industry is receiving from developers outside the nation, Dublin, Ireland-headquartered Airtricity Inc. recently entered into the market. Airtricity, which already has wind farm projects in the works in Texas and New York, acquired Gale Force Energy, a Toronto-based wind farm developer, in October to pursue Canadian wind. Gale Force Energy is currently in development stages for more than 30 wind projects throughout Canada.
Back in the U.S., mergers and acquisitions activity affecting the U.S. wind sector took shape in the form of Spain-headquartered Iberdrola acquiring 100% of MREC Partners and Midwest Renewable Energy Projects, both headquartered in Joice, Iowa, to further expand into the U.S. Prior to this acquisition, Iberdrola signed its first power purchase agreement with Allentown, Pa.-based PPL EnergyPlus, which made Iberdrola owner of the energy, capacity and renewable attributes from the Locust Ridge Wind Farm in Mahanoy City, Pa., for 20 years after the project's completion.
Iberdrola has reached a merger agreement to take over ScottishPower, an international energy company made up of four businesses, including PPM Energy. In October, PPM Energy implemented a plan to expand its wind activities into Canada through its Canadian affiliate, PPM Energy Canada Ltd., a gas storage operation in Alberta. If ScottishPower's board approves the merger early this year, the company will be expanding into the Canadian market through PPM Energy.

An estimated 1,600 reptiles and amphibians were discovered during a routine inspection at Johannesburg's international airport, said South Africa's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said in a statement Friday.
Geckos, frogs, chameleons, skinks, lizards and toads, many of which are endangered species, were tied up in small muslin bags, or crammed into overcrowded plastic tubs for approximately 5 days before they were discovered. Many of the animals had already died.
The animals, bound for the U.S. from Madagascar, were left unattended in the cargo area when flights to the U.S. were cancelled. The surviving reptiles were taken to the Johannesburg Zoo for treatment, according to local news reports.

1,4-diketo-3,6-di(4'-tertiary butyl phenyl)-2,5-dihydro pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole
This bluish red transparent pigment has high tinting strength. Diketo pyrrolo pyrrole pigments are noteworthy for their light stability, excellent weatherability, and outstanding heat stability.
Pyrrole Rubine has excellent permanence and lightfastness for an organic pigment in its color range.
Pyrrole pigments are considered to be non-toxic.
The Pyrrole group of synthetic organic pigments was developed in the 1980s. Pyrrole Rubine was first manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals under the trade name Irgazine Ruby. Although not a perfect match for alizarin crimson, Pyrrole Rubine is one of several new pigments that has helped to close a traditional gap in the gamut of artist pigments, the lack of lightfast and transparent colors in the red/blue and red/violet parts of the spectrum.

The vote was delayed because some advocates complain that increased costs could force some people to choose between their education and basic necessities.
Because of budget cuts, State Schools Superintendent Robert Schiller had proposed increasing the fee for the GED test to $80 from the current cost of $35.
After hearing public testimony today in Chicago, the State Board of Education decided to look for other alternatives, including asking the Legislature for more money.

Green Growth examines the impact of wind energy on jobs and the economy in the EU. The wind energy industry increased its contribution to the EU's gross domestic product (GDP) by 33% between 2007 and 2010. In 2010, the industry's growth was twice that of the EU's GDP overall, with the sector contributing €32 billion to an EU economy in slowdown.
The sector created 30% more jobs from 2007 to 2010 to reach nearly 240,000, while EU unemployment rose by 9.6% . By 2020, there should be 520,000 jobs in the sector.
The sector was a net exporter of €5.7 billion worth of goods and services in 2010.
The sector avoided €5.71 billion of fuel costs in 2010.
The sector invested 5% of its spending in R&D – three times more than the EU average. Wind turbine manufacturers commit around 10% of their total turnover to R&D.

Comments On Apr 25, 2011:These are not good tires for a sports touring type motorcycle. The don't wear well and develop flat spots quickly. As they wear the turning effort is increased exponentially! Towards the end of the useful life (at about 1500 miles) these begin to get a little unsafe. NOT RECOMMENDED for sport touring bikes. They may work on other bikes.

Comments On Mar 23, 2011:Really good tiers, Look forward to my next pare. Bought a used bike and stumbled upon them due to the other owner already having them on the bike. I am impressed and recommend them to anyone wanting great handling in the twisties or wet conditions. They had no problem keeping under my Kat 600.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Nationals have honored Davey Johnson, paying tribute to the 70-year-old manager who will retire at the end of the season.
Johnson was feted during a 15-minute ceremony on Sunday that featured video tributes and highlights of his playing and managing career. The team presented Johnson with an engraved Tiffany crystal.
The ceremony was held before the start of a day-night doubleheader against Miami, the Nationals' final home games of the regular season. Washington began the day 4 1-2 games behind Cincinnati for the final NL wild-card spot.
Following the videos, the Nationals' roster came out in front of the dugout and Johnson worked his way through the line, exchanging hugs with his players and coaches.
Johnson then tipped his hat and bowed to the fans who were giving him a standing ovation.

Used to create a positive stencil on silkscreens and to achieve "painterly" effects, Jacquard Screen Drawing Fluid can be used with all waterbased screenprinting inks.
Formulated for safe and easy use with Jacquard's Screen Filler and Block Out solutions, Screen Drawing Fluid can also be used independently to block out portions of a silk screen.
To use, elevate the screen in a horizontal position so the silkscreen fabric is lifted above the work area. The screen should be fabric-side down. Then apply Screen Drawing Fluid onto the screen to the areas you want to print.
After the Drawing Fluid is dry, use a squeegee to coat the entire screen with a thin, even layer of Jacquard Screen Filler. When the Screen Filler is dry, spray cold water on both sides of the screen. The Screen Drawing Fluid will wash out and the Screen Filler will remain.
Allow the screen to dry thoroughly before printing.
