my exhibition
My classes exhibition opening was on Tuesday, I had planned my outfit weeks in advance and was really looking forward to it. I took full advantage of the free wine and got a little bit more drunk than I had planned but it was still a really nice evening and it was great to see everyone again and look at everyone's finished work. Here are some photos of me with my work:
I wore a metallic pale blue shirt from asos, a fake zara skort which I bought from eBay, blue glittery socks from topshop and white sandals which I also bought from eBay. (Yes I am holding two glasses of wine.)

I Finished College
So I finally finished college for summer last week! I will hopefully be posting a lot more over the summer as I am also quitting my job (woe) so I will have a lot more time to blog.
For my final major project I chose the subject of Gender and Identity, I was specifically interested in the mix of feminine and masculine elements of fashion. Here are the photographs I shot of my final pieces:
and a photo of my space in the exhibition:

Artest's fans don't show I wanted to post this because some may not know about the community service that Artest has done here. Granted it was court ordered but he never complained. Also has appologized a few times for the brawl that I thought was very sincere. I don't think he deserves to get booed anymore. Some may point to his antics with the crowd. I was at that game and he was just responding to the fans trying to have fun with the situation of being booed.
Most people are decent when you meet them in person, but get people into a group, and you can expect all sorts of boorish behavior. I mean, these are the same people who booed Darko after he led us to a championship!
Artest seems to have grown up. He even volunteered to speak at a Detroit library the day before the game on his own. This was not part of his community service plea deal.
He knows that Joe won't trade for him because of the character issue. He's trying to make it seem like he's a good guy so that he can get on the team and try to pick up a ring. Not a bad strategy.

Alessandra Ambrosio Does DT Magazine
November 30th, 2009
Here's supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio on the cover of the latest issue of DT Magazine in some nicely revealing outfits. I especially like the one in the red bikini where she's all wet and busting out some cleavage, I could marry a woman like that. And yes that picture would be on the wedding invitations. I'm not sure if the pictures are old or not , but any day that has Alessandra Ambrosio in skimpy lingerie/ bikinis is a pretty damn good one if you ask me so enjoy.

Getting health insurance coverage if you're a student and planning on going abroad for school can be a tricky process.
In most cases, your school offers some program where you can purchase the necessary insurance. It's also not uncommon for the school you're attending to offer you some kind of coverage as a part of your study abroad program.
Either way, it's crucial that if you're going to study abroad, you figure out how your insurance is going to cover you before getting there. Medical bills are one of the easiest ways to find yourself in insurmountable debt, and it's not something that you can (necessarily) live without.
If your school isn't going to set up a program for you, there are still plenty of options.
For example, Atlas International is a company which offers health care coverage accepted most anywhere in the world. It has an American branch—Atlas American—but it also offers international coverage.
Atlas International is set up specifically for people traveling abroad, and offers programs that range from 5 months to three years, depending on the set up you need.
Above and beyond typical health care coverage, Atlas International also offers terrorism coverage, lost luggage coverage, and similar forms of coverage to help insure your entire traveling experience.
They're set up to easily custom tailor your particular plan, and it works similarly to anything else—you apply, get a quote and can choose your approach from that point forth.
On a similar note, Citizen Secure offers primarily health care coverage for those traveling abroad. Their plans last for a year at a time and you can choose the option to renew them at the end of your agreement.
Citizen Secure does cap out at three years, however, so it's not ideal if you're going to be over seas for that long.
They do offer full health benefits which includes up to a 5 million dollar maximum on the policy. They're also accepted worldwide, making them an extremely high choice for those spending some time over seas for school—you aren't going to end up somewhere that you aren't covered.
When applying for a plan through Citizen Secure, you work along side them to find the appropriate amount of coverage for you, and to make sure that you aren't going to end up somewhere where something isn't covered. The limitations are fully outlined before hand.
Another popular choice is Student Secure, which, like Atlas International, includes a variety of additional insurance coverage, such as terrorism coverage and lost luggage. Unlike the other plans mentioned, however, Student Secure is available for renewal on a month-by-month basis.
However, this plan is mostly common among students who are spending time in Europe. That doesn't mean that it won't cover elsewhere, it just means that it's something worth looking into before deciding.
Most student plans to cover your health care abroad will give free quotes online, so you can work out the arrangements of what is and isn't covered, pinpoint where you will be and what kind of coverage you will need, and sort through elective coverage (like the terrorism insurance).
Before traveling, it's recommended that you get a full physical check-up in the US so that you know where you stand. Many of these providers are going to require access to prior health records, and if you're lacking in that area it might ultimately hurt you (or they're going to request that you get a physical done).
Similarly, it's important to be aware of your pre-existing conditions, given the vast number of providers who decline to cover them. Finding yourself overseas with your typical medications not covered could be a disaster, and it's worth mapping out first.

Master: The Unauthorized Autobiography of Master R
Paperback, 351 Pages
Prints in 3-5 business days
For the past fifteen years, Master R has run La Domaine Esemar, the oldest, and those in the know say, the finest, BDSM training chateau in the world. MASTER: THE UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MASTER R is the charming, romantic, honest, shocking and brutal story of how R got to be the man he is today.
MASTER was written not just for people "in the sexuality" but for all adult readers who wish to gain insights into the complexities of human sexuality. With a world view that covers the metaphors of civilization from the times of pharaohs and slaves to the present, passages of erotica that drip sexuality, power filled chapters on training methods, other chapters on the hysterically funny moments in the day to day existence at La Domaine, and with candid autobiographical insights into Master R's own life and sexuality, MASTER is a unique piece of literature.
People Reviewed This Product
Oct 21, 2010I found this book utterly fascinating and well-written. If you pick it up thinking you are going to simply get a peek behind a curtain on some hot sex and first rate bdsm, well, you will! But you will also find its essays/chapters on constitutional issues, et. al, informed and cogent. This book is a must read for all those interested in exploring this part of their sexuality, from novices to Masters. Having personally met Master R and seen him practicing his crafts and interacting with his guests I can say that I was struck by his consideration, intelligence, kindness, and thoughtfulness. In stark contrast to a prior review, I have seen no evidence of any advantage being taken of anyone. On the contrary, R and his fellow kinksters go out of there way to insure the comfort and safety of their guests and scrupulously respect all boundaries. I will read this book more than once. I recommend it to all even slightly interested in The Scene. Z

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Lys369 of human WIPI1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Autophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic-lysosomal degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents (1,2). It is generally activated by conditions of nutrient deprivation but is also associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegeneration, infection, and cancer (3). The molecular machinery of autophagy was largely discovered in yeast and is directed by a number of autophagy-related (Atg) genes.
Vacuolar trafficking and autophagy are controlled by the class III type phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) Vps34, which generates phosphoinositide-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) (4,5). Atg18 and Atg21 are two related WD-repeat proteins that bind PtdIns3P via a conserved Phe-Arg-Arg-Gly motif (6,7). It has been shown that Atg18 binds to Atg2 and that this complex is directed to vacuolar membranes by its interaction with PtdIns3P (8). Human orthologs of Atg18 and Atg21 were identified as members of the WD-repeat protein Interacting with Phosphoinositides (WIPI) family (9-11). WIPI1 (also called WIPI49) and WIPI2 have been shown to translocate from several vacuolar compartments to LC3-positive autophagosomes during autophagy; this translocation may be used as an autophagy marker (12).

The study of Joan of Arc's brief life, with its meteoric rise and fall, involves issues that inspire passionate response: religion and mysticism; individual rights and responsibilities; love of king and country; recognition of women's abilities and power; upward mobility. In order to understand the 15th-century view of these issues, we look back at earlier stages of the Middle Ages, and the authority that was present in the Church, government, and various social strata. We will accomplish this investigation early in the course through readings and discussions of literature of the Middle Ages, contemporary feminist and revisionist history of the roles and limitations placed on medieval women, and analytic and biographical materials about Joan of Arc herself. Joan's role as symbol for liberal and social movements, social constructions of "woman", and war efforts has continued since the time of the French Revolution. The latter half of the course examines selected readings and images of Joan and her iconographic importance.

Prithee, Inform Me: Paying for POD
Poll time!
15 comments:
Hmm. Interesting question. I'd have to say it would depend on who profited, or how the profits were distributed. Would the library profit, funding more book purchases? Would the POD publisher take the biggest cut? I assume the author would get their share, but if it's tax dollars paying for it, I'd like to know taxpayers would benefit in some way, not that it would just be a convenience item, like a soda machine.
ReplyDeleteWho would that be for?
If it's so the library can print books for their own stock, it's not needed; there's never such a hurry that they can't order it from the businesses that have the machine. If they find they're ordering so many books this way that they can do it cheaper by buying the machine, that's just an internal operations decision; it doesn't require a poll or legislation, any more than their decision to buy a copier.
If it's so they can sell the books and compete with bookstores, I see that as a distraction from their mission of providing information to the public at no cost. We already have lots of places people can buy books, and the government never does the same thing as a business, as efficiently as a business can.
If the intent is to undercut the bookstores by heavily subsidizing not only the purchase of the machine but the supplies and operation, on the theory that people would read more if the books were cheaper, well, first, the books in the library are already free, and second, you could accomplish the same thing by handing out bookstore vouchers, without endangering independent booksellers who are already threatened.Too many outstanding questions for me to answer this poll. Are the tax dollars in addition to the funding the library already receives? Does the library receive tax funding (not all do)? If it receives funding, are there limits placed on it what it can spend its budget for? What will the revenues of the POD machine go toward? Is it to raise money for the library? Will it go back to the source of the tax funding (local/state/fed)?
This sounds like it's a question based off of something real, but there's no context to frame the question.
As a side note, when the e-revolution wipes brick-and-mortar stores from the face of the earth, POD machines at local libraries would be an awesome answer to those that still prefer printed texts.Good points, all. For the sake of argument:
• The library would profit, as would the publisher of the book being printed (as is the case with print books). Cuts of the publisher profits would go to the POD publisher (if it's an agency model-type affair) & the author.
• The machine would be there to print out books that are borrowed infrequently or are not (in the library's view) worth buying & allocating physical shelf space to.
• The tax dollars are in addition to the funding the library already receives.
• This (hypothetical) library receives tax dollars.
• Revenue would go toward operation of the library, though I admit that's an overly simplistic model (and an easy answer to boot).
Joseph: that's what I was thinking (re: e-revolution). Eventually, "libraries" (/book stores) might just be POD kiosks where you can print out a physical book if you want it.I'll say "No" because: here in Maine we are being taxed to death - literally. This state's government (the only one that makes me go way to the right of the political spectrum) taxes everything BUT the mosquitoes and black flies, and then takes on more debt it can't pay for. So, we certainly can't afford any more taxes, even if the libraries got five cents. Second - as for that remark re: the federal bail-out of the Wall Street banks... us individual voters didn't get a vote. We'll just get to pay for the bail-outs that aren't repaid (no comment on the excessive compensation those CEOs paid themselves one year after they were "on the brink." So much for how they prioritized correcting their course...
ReplyDeleteI voted no if you didn't guess from my post above. The reality is public libraries everywhere are shutting down due to the lack of public funds. A recent study (I think I read about it at Publisher Weekly) showed an increase of people using libraries. Would I want my taxes to go to libraries? Sure. But the cities and states are running out of money (see California) and they can't just print more like the feds can. Perhaps if some POD machine company paid for the space in the library the way publishers pay for space in bookstores this would have a better chance of happening.
ReplyDeleteIf the machine made money for the library -- as their soda machines and public copiers do, for instance -- then there would seem to be no need for a special allocation for the equipment.
But I really don't think a state-operated enterprise will be able to effectively compete with bookstores, especially since you're saying it's for less-requested books which the library hasn't found it necessary to stock. That's by definition a low-volume application. They're not even going after the mass market. If someone comes to a library, they're unlikely to pay money for a book the library has available for checkout. All this does is give the library a financial incentive to _not_ buy copies of the books they know people will want. And then they become less valuable as a public service.
I could see using the POD to print copies to add to their own stock if they are requested for checkout. But as I said before, it's hard to imagine how there would be enough volume to justify the capital cost and maintenance, vs. ordering the books from a large business whose costs are lower because their machines are constantly in use, whereas the library's would sit idle 99% of the time.Libraries need to remain free. Think public good and remember they were established as the people's university. Not everyone can afford to purchase books or the computer to order the books online.
Yet, like the convenience of photo copies, a library can provide paid services for those who want more. I think the Espresso distributors should pay libraries to allow their machines in a library. That way, libraries would have additional funds to provide more services.Putting a device that *sells* books in a public *borrowing* library crosses a lot of lines that confuse what public libraries are about. Now, I'm all for both selling *and* borrowing books -- but not in the same physical space, and not as a substitute one for the other. I love the idea of machines like the Espresso -- for academic book stores, and for indie bookstores, and elsewhere in the world of commerce. But not in public libraries, because they are not bookstores, and make a point of not being so.
I would point out that in my neighbourhood the public library is next door to a major chain bookstore and within walking distance of an indie small-chain bookstore, with several used-book places in between. I know it's not the case everywhere, but the uproar would be if this library went into competition with these for-profit establishments, as opposed to complementing them, as is currently the case.
BTW, I have yet to see a library that made a significant profit on soft drinks and photocopies. Usually they're just covering costs with a bit extra to invest in new machines when the time comes.
Also, it has been my observation that every time a public institution implements a way to sell stuff to make up for lack of public funding, their public funding gets cut *more* because some bright spark points out they have "other revenue sources" -- and usually the cut is more than what the "other revenue" brings in.

The partnership between Birmingham and Rosh Ha'ayin will be recognized this summer by Sister Cities International at its annual convention in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Birmingham and Rosh Ha'ayin became official sister cities in 2005, though the Birmingham Jewish community has a relationship with Rosh Ha'ayin going back to 1981.
Rosh Ha'ayin is also paired with the New Orleans Jewish community through Partnership 2000 of the Jewish Agency, and many programs involve all three communities.
The award will be for innovation in youth and education programming for American cities with populations between 100,000 and 500,000.
Programs between Rosh Ha'ayin and Birmingham the past few years include an "E-Pals" program, which connects students in the Birmingham city and Hoover school systems via email with peers in Rosh Ha'ayin, and an educators' exchange, through which Birmingham area teachers visited Rosh Ha'ayin and then hosted teachers from Rosh Ha'ayin at their schools.
In 2008, the Meitav Vocal Ensemble from Rosh Ha'ayin performed throughout Birmingham and New Orleans. In Birmingham, there were joint concerts with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Gospel Choir and the Huffman High School choir.
Another 2008 project was involving Rosh Ha'ayin in Birmingham's "Read It Forward" program. The Jefferson County Library Cooperative sought to have as many local citizens as possible read "To Kill A Mockingbird." Residents of Rosh Ha'ayin read Hebrew translations, furnished by the Birmingham Jewish Foundation, and held programs about the book.
Another project has been E-Pals, connecting students in Birmingham city and Hoover school systems via email with peers in Rosh Ha'ayin, and an educators' exchange, through which Birmingham area teachers visited Rosh Ha'ayin and then hosted teachers from Rosh Ha'ayin at their schools.
Additional programming took place last year as the Birmingham International Center honored Israel and Jordan.
"We are so proud of this international honor," said Joyce Spielberger, assistant executive director of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, who is the Federation's staff coordinator for the partnership. "I think it says a lot about our Jewish community, our broader community and the people of Rosh Ha'ayin.
"Many people have played a role in the development of this partnership," Joyce added. "This award is indicative of the great work and outreach done by volunteers from both the Jewish community and broader Birmingham community."
The Birmingham Sister City Commission, which oversees Birmingham's 11 Sister City partnerships, is dedicated to global cooperation, cultural understanding and economic development between the people of Birmingham and cities around the world. The Federation's Rosh Ha'ayin committee works closely with the Sister City Commission to advance the Birmingham-Rosh Ha'ayin partnership.
Birmingham's relationship with Rosh Ha'Ayin began when Birmingham's Max and Tillie Kimerling provided the funding to build a community center in Rosh Ha'ayin, at the time a development town of 14,000, mainly Yemenite Jews who fled their villages after Israel was established.
The Birmingham Jewish community's official ties to Rosh Ha'Ayin began in 1981 with Project Renewal, with the pairing coming from the existing relationship with the Kimerling family.

Decisions About Trusts Should Be Kept in the Family
As a fifteen-year-old sophomore, Sally was clearly the best member of the high school dance team. Tragically, both her proud parents were killed in an auto accident the summer before her junior year. Sally grieved with her younger brother, Billy, and the two went to live with their guardian, Aunt Marge.
Sally eventually found comfort in dancing, and began planning to make it her career. A teacher at school thought she had a good chance of being accepted at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York. Being in a position to offer a strong recommendation, the teacher called Aunt Marge to discuss the possibility. He told Marge to use $40,000 per year (including airfare, spending money, and so on) as a bottom-line cost figure in making her decision. It would take Sally four years to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
Even though she was the children's guardian, Marge explained, she had direct access to only a relatively small sum that had been left in the parents' names. Sally's father had been covered by a $250,000 life insurance policy at the time of his death, but it was payable to an irrevocable trust he had created. The trustee at this point was a bank that had changed names since the trust was written. Marge spent that afternoon on the phone, finding the appropriate trust officer.
She'd never seen the trust document, Marge explained to the young trust officer, but she had always assumed its funds were earmarked primarily for Sally's and Billy's college educations. Would the trust consider an arts school such as Juilliard a college, Marge asked the trust officer—and, if so, would the trust pay for Sally to attend it?
The officer told Marge that a three-person committee, acting as trustee, would make the decision after reviewing the terms of the trust. Though the officer was neither equipped nor eager to make decisions about a teenage girl's future in dance, he and two other employees of an out-of-town bank would now have to do just that. Just as the child's parents would have done, this institutional trustee had to determine whether Sally had the talent and long-term commitment to justify the cost. Would it become the break of a lifetime or an expensive diversion?
The trust committee knew the trust was being administered for two children, not just one. Whereas the document did not require equal spending for each child, and it seemed likely that the $250,000 trust principal, plus earnings, could easily cover the expense of four years at Juilliard, other questions had to be considered. There would not be enough to send Billy to an equally expensive college, should he apply there, or to graduate or professional school afterward if that became his goal. Was that fair? Meanwhile, if Sally proved ill-suited to a performing arts career, limited funds would remain to start her on a more traditional path.
Fortunately, the decision did not have to be made in the blind. The attorney who drafted the trust, having contemplated just this kind of dilemma, had specifically authorized the institutional trustee to rely on Marge's input as an adviser on family decisions such as the one at hand. The trustee could therefore follow her suggestion without worrying about breaching its fiduciary duty. Marge felt certain that Sally's parents would have encouraged their daughter to apply to Juilliard, so that's what Sally did—and she was accepted. Everyone is satisfied that the decision was made by the family, as it should have been.

Tony Parker is probably used to establishments making special accommodations for him.
Friday night in Memphis, the Spurs point guard got a taste of what civilian life is like.
He tried to get a meal on enemy turf at popular Memphis eatery Restaurant Iris. He was denied.
But the restaurant's owner, Kelly English, said it had nothing to do with who Parker was or the current Western Conference Finals playoff series against the Grizzlies.

Today brought us some great posts across the Cardinal blogosphere, not so indirectly focused toward an article that appeared yesterday in the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
I don't have a lot to add to what Pip and C70 have already said regarding the venom being spewed toward Cardinal management, nor about the media's involvement in provoking and/or further exacerbating the fans' perception of reality for this ballclub.
What I *would* like to do, is take a different approach to this story. Who should the Cardinals have signed?
There is clamor and calamity among Cardinal fans everywhere that the front office isn't doing enough to improve the team, the ownership is bilking the fans, and Bill DeWitt eats kittens. Ok, maybe not the last one, but you get the point.
To my point, below is a list of free agents that have already signed during this off-season. I realize it is somewhat incomplete, as there are players not on this list who have agreed to deals but have yet to officially finalize their contracts. Many thanks (again) to ESPN.com for the knowledge from their free agent tracker.
The list:
Player | Status | Old Team | New Team | Years | Dollars |
Mark Teixeira, 1B | Signed (A) | LA Angels | NY Yankees | 8 | $180,000,000 |
CC Sabathia, SP | Signed (A) | Milwaukee | NY Yankees | 7 | $161,000,000 |
A.J. Burnett, SP | Signed (A) | Toronto | NY Yankees | 5 | $82,500,000 |
Ryan Dempster, SP | Signed | Chi Cubs | Chi Cubs | 4 | $52,000,000 |
Francisco Rodriguez, RP | Signed (A) | LA Angels | NY Mets | 3 | $37,000,000 |
Raul Ibanez, LF | Signed (A) | Seattle | Philadelphia | 3 | $31,500,000 |
Milton Bradley, DH | Signed (B) | Texas | Chi Cubs | 3 | $30,000,000 |
Rafael Furcal, SS | Signed | LA Dodgers | LA Dodgers | 3 | $30,000,000 |
Kerry Wood, RP | Signed | Chi Cubs | Cleveland | 2 | $20,500,000 |
Edgar Renteria, SS | Signed | Detroit | San Francisco | 2 | $18,500,000 |
Casey Blake, 3B | Signed | LA Dodgers | LA Dodgers | 3 | $17,500,000 |
Brian Fuentes, RP | Signed (A) | Colorado | LA Angels | 2 | $17,500,000 |
Pat Burrell, LF | Signed | Philadelphia | Tampa Bay | 2 | $16,000,000 |
Jamie Moyer, SP | Signed | Philadelphia | Philadelphia | 2 | $13,000,000 |
Juan Rivera, RF | Signed | LA Angels | LA Angels | 3 | $12,750,000 |
Damaso Marte, RP | Signed | NY Yankees | NY Yankees | 3 | $12,000,000 |
Kyle Farnsworth, RP | Signed | Detroit | Kansas City | 2 | $9,250,000 |
Nick Punto, SS | Signed | Minnesota | Minnesota | 2 | $8,500,000 |
Jeremy Affeldt, RP | Signed (B) | Cincinnati | San Francisco | 2 | $8,000,000 |
Randy Johnson, SP | Signed | Arizona | San Francisco | 1 | $8,000,000 |
Willy Taveras, CF | Signed | Colorado | Cincinnati | 2 | $6,250,000 |
Jason Giambi, 1B | Signed | NY Yankees | Oakland | 1 | $5,250,000 |
Cesar Izturis, SS | Signed | St. Louis | Baltimore | 2 | $5,000,000 |
Aaron Miles, 2B | Signed | St. Louis | Chi Cubs | 2 | $4,900,000 |
Arthur Rhodes, RP | Signed | Florida | Cincinnati | 2 | $4,000,000 |
Felipe Lopez, SS | Signed | St. Louis | Arizona | 1 | $3,500,000 |
We can safely write off the first four players on the list. The Cards weren't going to spend upwards of $15mm per year on any player, and Ryan Dempster wasn't going anywhere (he resigned with the Cubs with little doubt).
We can write off the outfielders on the list, based upon the Cardinals' relative glut of capable players there, most of them cost-controlled, an additional bonus. (Not to mention the joy I derive from seeing a player the Cubs plan to employ in their outfield every day, Milton Bradley listed as a DH.)
Interest in shortstops was nullified by the acquisition of Khalil Greene, which was at a minimal cost (as far as we know now – that PTBNL still looms). The Cards kicked the tires on Rafael Furcal and Edgar Renteria, but the cost again was probably prohibitive, especially on Renteria (enjoy that one, Giants!). ESPN has Felipe Lopez listed at SS, which is probably misleading, I would've liked to see him re-signed to play 2B for the Cardinals, but alas, Boras is Boras.
Eliminate 3B Casey Blake – Troy Glaus is entrenched there for 2009, and the Cards have promising prospects behind him in David Freese and Tyler Greene.
Additionally, in terms of guys we can eliminate from Cardinal consideration, I submit Jason Giambi. There is just no way the Cards could use the guy. Agreed? Good.
Now, explanation of my thought process here – CBS Sportsline lists the 2008 MLB average salary as $3,154,845. For the sake of this little project, assume that number won't change. I've cut my list off at players who were signed for more than the league minimum, with a few exceptions (I kept the three former Cardinals: Aaron Miles, Cesar Izturis, and Felipe Lopez on the list – as well as reliever Arthur Rhodes, a lefty who fit the Cards' needs well).
Why cut it there? "Low hanging fruit," my friend. If we're trying to appease the masses here, I think it safe to assume the masses wouldn't be interested in competing to ink the Carl Pavano's and Russell Branyan's of the league.
That being said, there is some "low hanging fruit" of note: SP Daniel Cabrera, RP Alan Embree, RP Joe Nelson. I would've been intrigued enough by any of these three to welcome a flyer by the Cards, but they all went elsewhere. Oh well.
Finally, I'll eliminate the two players left who signed with their previous teams. Jamie Moyer and Damaso Marte likely weren't headed anywhere else but re-upping with the Phillies and Yankees.
Now then – back to the players we have left. There are eight. Only eight. Sure, I've probably been a bit liberal in my criteria for cutting the list down, but I feel all the cuts made are legit, and at worse defensible.
Francisco Rodriguez – Rumors had the Cardinals in on him late in the game, once they realized he wasn't going to command near the price he was hoping for in September. Rodriguez marked the likely beginning of the down market, while at the same time probably making a shrewd move in taking the largest deal he could get early on, before the market turned even worse. Rodriguez likely wasn't going to settle for less than a three-year contract, which didn't necessarily fit the Cardinals' plans, yet they surely would've made an exception for the single-season saves record holder. Questions abound about whether KRod's arm will be able to hold up after several seasons of abuse. It also deserves mentioning that signing Rodriguez would've cost the Cardinals a first-round pick as compensation, something the organization is not keen to lose, as they strive to make the organization self-sufficient.
Kerry Wood – Certainly a name to knock around, as the Cards were/are looking for a closer solution. Wood's injury history had to be a big factor in how the Cardinals evaluated Wood as a potential signing. Injury risk has burned the Cardinals in past deals and has clearly been a concern during this off-season as players are evaluated. Chances are good the Cards were never realistically considering a Wood signing.
Brian Fuentes – For most Cardinal fans, or moreso front-office and ownership bashers, this is the big fish that got away. Fuentes was the answer to every Cardinal problem. Fuentes could probably play a mean second base and throw a complete game if necessary, depending on which Cardinal fan you ask. In reality, Fuentes was never too interested in straying far from the West Coast. Reports have the Cardinals increasing their offer to Fuentes to include more cash than he eventually signed for, but it just wasn't meant to be. Being one that has stumped for a Chris Perez and Jason Motte tandem to close out games in 2009, I wasn't necessarily disappointed, but it's hard to deny what Fuentes could've brought to the team's most glaring weak spot from 2008 – the bullpen. Again, worth noting that Fuentes was a Type-A free agent, requiring the forfeiture of a first-round draft pick for signing him.
Kyle Farnsworth – I hope it's ok with the readers if I just don't give this one much thought. There is a reason why Kansas City can't seem to figure out the small market game, and Farnsworth embodies that.
Jeremy Affeldt – Affeldt has had two quite successful seasons as a reliever, in 2007 and 2008, and was a name much bandied about by Cardinal loyalists coming into this off-season. Affeldt likely flew under the radar of the Cardinals, signing early while most focus was still on the big names and taking care of the role players that needed to be resigned within the organization.
Randy Johnson – Still a name that intrigues me, but one who still commands a premium price, despite his advancing age. Johnson is likely to earn victory number 300 this season, which will be a great story unto itself, but what can he realistically offer a team that hopes to contend? Johnson still threw 184 innings last season, he still had an ERA under 4, he is still better than Joel Pineiro. This is where I think back to a bit I read that indicated Mozeliak was more interested in cost-controlled pitching than investing more money in his rotation. After all, they have a ton of money locked up in Chris Carpenter, Kyle Lohse, Adam Wainwright, and Pineiro. Something to the tune of $30mm-$35mm if I recall off the top of my head. Problem with that thinking is Pineiro is seriously overpaid and cost-controlled pitching has become the holy grail in MLB. It might cost the Cards two of their outfielders for one decent cost-controlled starting pitcher, where everyone expects Mo to magically pull off a Skip Schumaker for Tim Lincecum deal. Note to the Cardinal front-office haters: MLB GMs value the Cards' outfielders about 1/6 as much as you do. Adjust accordingly.
Aaron Miles – This one has really been beaten to death since his signing with the Chicago Cubs. I will refer you to Matthew Leach.
Arthur Rhodes – The Cards were certainly involved here as well, with an offer that was redacted when the Trever Miller signing finally went through. The Cards have seemingly taken a "throw 'em at the wall and see who sticks" approach to their LOOGy's this season, and perhaps with good reason. In my view, nothing points to Rhodes being glaringly more worthwhile than Miller (short of injury concern), yet Rhodes is getting $4mm guaranteed. The Cardinals played their hand correctly with Miller on this one, in my opinion.
So who then, should the Cards have locked up? Who was the no-doubter? Hindsight always being 20-20, perhaps Rodriguez was a great value. I don't think Fuentes ever really believed he would wind up in St Louis. Wood has a history as damaged goods. I could go on.
What shouldn't be lost in this discussion is that of the 25 players that qualified for this discussion, 17 of them signed with large-market teams. Yankees, Cubs, Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, Giants, Angels. The majority of the money has been spent by teams that can get away with virtually anything in a bad economy. The Yankees have committed per season money to four players that would've been the 24th highest payroll in the league last season (there are 30 teams, for those keeping score).
I don't count myself a front-office/ownership apologist, and I don't want to be pegged as such. But I am an optimist, and more than that, a realist.
Who should the Cardinals have signed out of the list above?
I ask only because there are still plenty of unsigned free agents on the market, most of which will be going hungry if they made their 2009 family budget in August or September of 2008.

1) Oh, yeah. And I got BOTH of his albums. I only had the one, not the record pictured above. Also a Stiller and Meara record.
I remember Ajaye from movies & TV, but I don't think I have ever heard his albums.
I was just telling someone about Bob Newhart's routine about the security guard at the Empire State Building.
With the recent untimely death of Peter Bergman, I decided to look for copies of the Firesign Theater, esp. their album called "Waiting for the Electrician or Somebody Like Him." Found a download on Amazon. As Paul Simon said in a totally different context, "Still Crazy after All These Years" - and totally mind boggling in a way that some of these comedians could never touch. (Except, maybe, Myron....what a hoot!!!)
[6] Yeah, I know what you mean. We all used to quote every line of that routine verbatim. Now, that stuff is stuck in my brain and I can't get it out... ;-) I can't tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday but I can quote all the different breakfast names that Eddie used in the "Buckwheat" bit... "That's my big sister, she's a prostitute, her name is Trix"
I still routinely drop lines from Steve Martin's 70s standup albums into every day conversation, without really thinking about it. Kind of like Alex did with the title of this thread.
I find it hard to look at images of Freddie Prinze, given his suicide at such a young age. He was an incredibly talented, funny guy who had the ability to act; by all rights, we should be looking at 35 years of his work right now as a star of comedy, TV, and potentially movies. Such a sad story.

Culture Days / Fête de la Culture, throughout Canada, happened this past Saturday and Sunday. One of the slogans was "I expressed my creativity on Culture Days Fête de la Culture.
I expressed my creativity through food. I had planned to talk about plank cooking and how to roast a red pepper. Then I had little displays. Two were interactive, name this flatware piece and name this spice or herb. The other was a display of kitchen gadgets.
Since people just dropped in, I decided to just cook whatever it was that I wanted to cook. I pulled out the sage honey I made last summer. The honey had congealed so I placed it in warm water to liquefy it again. I tasted. It was heavenly. I will be sharing it at my Spices & Herbs class on Tuesday. I pulled out my preserved lemons to check on them. Again, very good. I rearranged them in the jar so they would all cure evenly. I did roast the red peppers and put them in a marinade of olive oil, tarragon vinegar, garden tarragon and roasted garlic. And more.
It was nice to have a leisurely day in my kitchen. I pulled out the salmon that was in my freezer and made salmon cakes with black beans for appetizers.
It was fun to listen to people and their relationship with food and cooking. And because my brain never stops, I am already planning my program for next year.

I would be more interested in what the Democrats had to say about high gas prices if these were not the same people who refused to let us drill for oil in Alaska, imposed massive restrictions on building new refineries, and who shut down the development of nuclear power in this country decades ago.
But it's too much having to watch Democrats wail about the awful calamity to poor working families of having to pay high gas prices.
Imposing punitive taxation on gasoline to force people to ride bicycles has been one of the left's main policy goals for years.
For decades Democrats have been trying to raise the price of gasoline so that the working class will stop their infernal car-driving and start riding on buses where they belong, while liberals ride in Gulfstream jets.
The last time the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the presidency was in 1993. Immediately after trying to put gays in the military and socialize all health care, Clinton's next order of business was to propose an energy tax on all fuels, including a 26-cent tax on gas. I think the bill was called "putting people first in line at the bus station." This is the Democratic Party. That's their program.
Al Gore defended the gas tax, vowing that it was "absolutely not coming out" of the energy bill regardless of "how much trouble it causes the entire package."
And mind you, this was before we knew Gore was clinically insane. Back then we thought he was just a double-talking stuffed shirt who seemed kind of gay. The important thing was to force Americans to stop their infernal car-driving, no matter how much it cost.
Democrats in Congress promptly introduced an "energy bill" that would put an additional 25-cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline to stop "global warming," an atmospheric phenomenon supposedly aggravated by frivolous human activities such as commerce, travel and food production.
Democratic House Speaker Tom Foley endorsed the proposal on "Charlie Rose," saying: "I'd have a five-cent increase every year for five years. ... But that's not going to happen ... because we've got people who fret and worry that one- or two-tenths of a cent of a gasoline tax is going to cause some revolution at home." So in Tom Foley's universe, two-tenths of a cent is the same as a quarter -- another testimonial to the American public educational system.
The Democrats' proposed gas tax did cause a revolution at home, and consequently the Democrats were able to sneak through only an additional 4.3-cent federal tax on gasoline. After tut-tutting the idea that voters would object if the Democrats attempted a huge gas tax increase, Speaker Tom Foley soon became former speaker, and indeed former Congressman Tom Foley.
Gary Hart, another whimsical demonstration of what Democrats think a president should be like, said at the time, "I certainly favor consumption taxes, particularly on energy." Then there's John Kerry, who favored a 50-cent increase in the gas tax in 1994. If he were a rap artist, Kerry's stage name would be "Fifty Cent a Gallon."
Last year, a couple of green "climatologists" at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign were back at it in the journal Science, wheeling out their proposal for a 25-cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline as an "insurance policy" against global warming.
Just two months ago, we were being confidently told -- on the basis of a New York Times/CBS News poll, so it must be true -- that "Americans might OK a gasoline tax hike if it reduced global warming or lessened U.S. dependence on foreign oil." (This poll was wedged in among the 29 polls claiming Americans think we're losing the war in Iraq.) Other results from the Times' "meaningless polls" section: Americans might "OK" a Dennis Kucinich presidency if it meant free ice cream every Tuesday.
How many times do Democrats have to tell us they want to raise the price of gas for the average American before the average American believes them? Is it more or less than the number of times Democrats tell us they want to surrender in the war on terrorism?
It's as if a switch goes off in people's brains telling them: The Democrats can't be saying they want to destroy the lives of people who drive cars because my father was a Democrat, and the Democrats can't be this stupid!
The Democrats' only objection to current gas prices is that the federal government's cut is a mere 18.4 cents a gallon. States like New York get another 44 cents per gallon in taxes. The Democratic brain processes the fact that "big oil companies" get nearly 9 cents a gallon and thinks: WE SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT MONEY!
When the free market does the exact thing liberals have been itching to do through taxation, they pretend to be appalled by high gas prices, hoping the public will forget that high gas prices are part of their agenda.

I was considering using this IKEA top for the top of a workbench. it's a much cheaper alternative to some of the options in the Lee Valley book. the Sjorberg workbenches are very nice, but very costly. Grizzly tools also sells big slabs of 1 1/2 maple for use as bench tops, but the shipping and cost is nearly 300$. I was going to construct some legs and stringers, and use this IKEA top. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/50106773/ it says it's 1 inch thick and made from solid beech. that should be a suitable workbench, yeah? do you guys see any issues with using the IKEA table top? experience with IKEA ?

Go with this one instead. Yes it is twice the price but it is thicker and longer. Back when I was installing IKEA kitchens we did this product a number of times. Pretty good overall. I would think the hardness of oak will also be more suitable for a workbench top than beech. It comes in 4' and 8' versions as well, I just suggested this once since it was closest to what you originally posted. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/40057396/ -- It's made of wood.

I've seen these in their store. Had the same idea. I think it's an Excellent Idea! 1" is enough. If it needs strengthening you could always do that with the "Understructure" that it's attached to. My Bench is only 3/4" Fir G1S but it's supported by the 2×4 Frame and three Cross Pieces. MORE than Strong enough!

I think most folks are saying 1 inch it too thin because if you drill holes in it for bench dogs you will end up elongating the holes faster over time. Also when you attach a Vice to it from the bottom there isn't much for it to mount to and bite into. These where my reasons for saying 1" is to thin. Rick, it's not that IKEA is bad it's just another 4 letter word. LOL… Seriously, I don't care for it because so much of it is melamine/particle board. I do have a bench top in my office area that I use and the finish rubbed off within the first 2 months. The quality isn't what most woodworkers build to. So they crack on the Ikea stuff. People Buy Ikea because it is cheap. But they are willing to make the compromise and have items that won't last.

If you have an Ikea store near you, they probably have a room full of dirt cheap stuff that was returned/ damaged/ or sometimes floor models.

If you have a planer and joiner for $99 bucks you could get some nice hard wood and build a better top.I have a work table that is dead flat that I use for assembley and my bench is more a hybread for wood working and house hold tasks.If you are not building a strictly craftsman bench then two pieces of MDF warped with 3/4" hard wood is another way to go, and it is cheaper. |
#10 posted 03-31-2012 03:35 PM |
Put two layers of particle board under the bench top. Use glue and screws to laminate it all together Add some wide aprons to cover the edges. It will give you a lot more weight and density, and the 1" or hardwood surface will be fine. Plus the extra thickness is important if you use iron bench hooks. Menards stores also sell oak bench tops pretty cheap. Check them out if you have one near you. -- Subscribe to "Stumpy Nubs Woodworking Journal"- One of the crafts' most unique publications: http://www.stumpynubs.com/ |
#11 posted 03-31-2012 05:09 PM |
Several threads here about benches build from these. Often they did double up the top, but I agree with stumpy that you can probably do as well with some other material underneath it. I might go for MDF rather than particle board, but wrapped with some kind of apron, it will look good, wear well, and be plenty sturdy enough. |

Though it was said above that red oak is harder than beech, the results of an ASTM-D Janka hardness test indicates that beech slightly outperforms red oak in hardness. I'd laminate one of these with a substrate of 3/4" MDF, (and a layer of 1/4" tempered hardboard) and just enjoy it that way. I'd be only worried about the lateral stress on the laminated beech glue joints from vise pressure against the bench dogs, but if they were glued and assembled well at the factory, all is well. -- Einstein: "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated. i have looked at some of the IKEA related workbenches in the projects section. i think i'll go with adding a layer of two of 3/4" something underneath, flush-trimmed with a router (assuming the IKEA top is square) and wrapped in some kind of hardwood apron and supported with trestle style legs. i am not too abusive on my tools. we have several heavy duty all metal workbenches if there has to be some serious beatings. i like your foam tiles john, might have to get some for around the benches. oh, and i will check out the scratch and dent area at IKEA.

ZTE aims for up to 40% more smartphone sales this year
- 1
China's ZTE Corp, the world's 4th largest phone manufacturer, sure isn't conservative with its 2011 sales forecast. The company claims that it will not only aim for a double or triple in sales growth in smartphones, but instead aims for 5-fold growth to boost its sales up by 30-40%.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
To reach this goal, the Chinese manufacturer will be focusing on the smartphone market, a senior official said. To further boost its position in the smartphone market, it will launch new models and a tablet running Google's Android software. Additionally, Lin Qiang, president of ZTE's handset business in Europe, said the firm aims to grow sales volumes at the high end of the market to more than 10 million from around 2 million last year.
A report from GSMarena shows that the Chinese company recorded a higher increase in the number of handsets sold last year than any of the major brands and comfortably became the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide, just behind Nokia, Samsung and LG. According to IDC, ZTE sold 51.8 million cell phones in 2010 (compared to just 26.7 million in 2009), which is 3 million more than what RIM managed.
The fast growth is attributed to the firm's flagship model: the ZTE Blade, which the company expects to ship 2 million units this year, as compared to 500,000 last year.
With strong momentum, ZTE's ambitious goals might not be impossible after all.

Economics--Mathematical Politics or Science of Diminishing Returns?
Economics today cannot predict the likely outcome of specific events any better than it could in the time of Adam Smith. This is Alexander Rosenberg's controversial challenge to the scientific status of economics. Rosenberg explains that the defining characteristic of any science is predictive improvability—the capacity to create more precise forecasts by evaluating the success of earlier predictions—and he forcefully argues that because economics has not been able to increase its predictive power for over two centuries, it is not a science.

UC Berkeley Begins Destruction of Berkeley Oak Grove and Shell Mound Site
UC Berkeley Begins Destruction of Native American Sacred Site
Indigenous Peoples Decry Human Rights Abuses. Tree Sitters Call for Support September 5th, 2008
Contact: Marcella Sadlowski (562) 472-5276 UC Berkeley Begins Destruction of Native American Sacred Site Indigenous Peoples Decry Human Rights Abuses. Tree Sitters Call for Support ______________________________________________________________________ BERKELEY, CA- University of California police moved in yesterday morning and cut many limbs and branches of a Redwood tree and cut down twelve Oak trees that have been protected by tree-sitting protesters for the last 21 months. Five people were arrested as they peacefully pleaded with arborists not to destroying the trees of the Memorial Oak Grove deemed a sacred burial site to Ohlone Indians. Twelve trees were cut today and the University says they will continue cutting 46 over the weekend. Four protesters remain in a single Redwood tree in the center of the grove. Arborists trimmed most of the branches from the Redwood tree occupied by the four remaining tree sitters. Cutting the branches made it virtually impossible for the tree sitters to move from tree to tree. A spokesman for the campus said that within three days, the University would no longer honor its agreement to ensure they had adequate nutrition and water. The tree sitters currently only have one liter of water to share between four people as they sit in 90 degree heat. The Memorial Oak Grove is regarded as a sacred place to Native American people and is documented as such by UC Berkeley's own Anthropology Department. There is evidence of 2 shell mounds sites in the area, with 19 ancestral remains found within them. Along with UC Berkeley's attempt to develop on a sacred place, they are guilty of housing over 17,000 sacred remains and objects. UCB currently holds the largest human remains collection in the United States of which it is not in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) "I brought my five year old daughter and two month old son out today to bear witness to the massacre of sacred life," said Morning Star Gali of the Pit River Tribe and co-chair of Advocates to Protect Sacred Sites. "The cops responded by yelling to move them behind the median. I asked if they would stand by as complacent if it was their grandmother's gravesites being desecrated. I want my children here to witness the destruction of sacred life and how important it is to protect it. I wanted them to witness the cops, arborists and UC Officials that participated and cheered as the trees came crashing down from bulldozers. This exhibits the ongoing Human Rights abuses committed by the University. They refuse to comply with NAGPRA by holding 13,000 of our ancestors remains hostage, they illegally reorganized NAGPRA with no tribal consultation and now they continue to desecrate sacred burial grounds." The Memorial Grove is a native Coast Live Oak ecosystem. Native oaks support the most complex terrestrial ecosystems in California. The California Native Plant Society CNPS has stated that the Memorial Oak Grove is "an important gene bank for the Coast Live Oak." Every one of the oaks in the grove should be protect by law and the Berkeley Coast Live Oak moratorium forbids cutting mature Coast Live Oaks in Berkeley. UC refuses to recognize the law. The grove is also part of a National Historic Site. The Stadium and landscape is a memorial to Californians who died in World War I. The tree sitters are urging people to come and show support for the trees and bear witness to the University of California's blatant disregard to sacred sites and native ecosystems. -- Morning Star Gali http://www.ifhurbanrez.org
