Sample Programs
Aegis Warship Systems Engineering
The Aegis Modernization program provides cruisers and destroyers with enhanced warfighting capabilities for future missions extending well into this century. APL engineers are actively engaged in the requirements definition and system design reviews. Staff members also lead key integrated product teams. Through integration of the joint Single Integrated Air Picture and the Navy's new Standard Missile-6 (SM-6), Aegis warships will be able to extend their defensive counter-air umbrella beyond the horizon of organic sensors to the kinematic range of the SM-6 weapon. For this new capability, APL leads concept investigations of sensor engagement support algorithms to ensure weapon system effectiveness using any sensor and any shooter within the Battle Force.
Naval Medical Manpower Study Provides Critical Solutions for Critical Care
APL provided analytic expertise to quantify medical force manpower deployment strategies on the effectiveness and efficiency of naval health care. A strategic analysis process was applied to determine the minimum and appropriate number of medical personnel levels and specialty areas required to meet both operational health care for the warfighters and expected health care benefits for their families. This analysis will result in a planning tool that will ensure that medical force manpower meets the supply and demand needed to provide health care to warfighters in the field and their families at home.
Space Threat Awareness and Characterization
Staff members working within the National Security Space Mission Area are helping the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center develop concepts, requirements, and capabilities for the envisioned Integrated Space Situational Awareness (ISSA) architecture. For this major effort to integrate data from various sources, APL's contributions include requirements definition, development and integration of a pilot system, and system studies and analysis. ISSA threat processing will address the critical challenge of maintaining the supremacy and security of U.S. space operations. ISSA will provide timely, actionable insight to enable decision makers to characterize potential attacks on space assets critical to U.S. capabilities and operations.
Station-Keeping Buoy
APL completed the development and testing of the Phase 2 Station-Keeping Buoy prototype developed for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The buoy is an autonomously controlled sailing tactical ocean surveillance buoy that can extract wind, water turbine, and solar energy from the local environment for long-term station-keeping. During an 11-day demonstration conducted off the coast of California, the APL buoy was successful in station-keeping for 149 hours. During that period, the buoy conducted two 50-hour segments of continuous operations. A new survival mode was implemented and successfully tested in winds greater than 30 knots.
First Trident Submarine Demonstration and Shakedown Operation in the Pacific
When the Navy's Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) commenced Trident II (D5) Demonstration and Shakedown Operations in the Pacific on the USS Henry M. Jackson, culminating with a launch of a Trident D5 missile, the APL-developed Mobile Data Processing Facility was used during this extended exercise to enable on-site analysis of the Trident Strategic Weapon System performance and immediate feedback on any problems identified. APL staff members played key roles throughout this test operation as technical advisors to SSP, coordinating multi-organizational tests and operational procedures and developing the flight test mission plan. APL is also SSP's designated validation agent for the Pacific Range for range readiness. The use of both the Pacific and Atlantic test ranges provides a stepping stone for testing future generations of new missile systems.
Imaging Inside Buildings with Radar
Over many years, APL researchers have developed and used high-fidelity models of radar propagation in complex environments. DARPA tasked APL research scientists to develop a deep understanding of the radar propagation through multistory buildings and to use this understanding, including essential phenomenological factors, to help validate models developed by DARPA performers in the design of a new radar system that can "see through" buildings. This radar system will help identify internal layout, occupants, and anomalous caches of materials. Being able to do this at a distance, without entering the building, is highly desirable in ensuring the security of warfighters while increasing their effectiveness in urban warfare environments.
Van Allen Probes
APL manages and operates the Van Allen Probes, twin spacecraft designed to study how the Sun interacts with Earth's radiation belts. Part of NASA's Living With a Star Program, the mission will determine how varying inputs of solar energy form or change populations of relativistic electrons and ions in the Earth's radiation belts—the doughnut-shaped bands of charged particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field that extend some 20,000 miles around our planet. The spacecraft launched in 2012 and are tasked with measuring the distributions of charged particles as well as the electric and magnetic fields that energize, transport, or remove the particles within these belts.
Effective Preparation of Biological Samples
A key challenge in improving the performance of biological warfare detection systems is the effective preparation of samples. APL has been researching methods for the purification and concentration of biological targets from complex samples. Using a technique known as isotachophoresis, APL researchers have developed a method capable of simultaneously purifying and concentrating both nucleic acids and proteins from organic compounds found in dirt. This is the first demonstration of a technology that could ultimately lead to a universal approach to sample preparation whereby many different biological targets are isolated and purified from a sample in a single step.
Turnkey Solution for Joint Task Force Headquarters Command and Control
APL assisted U.S. Joint Forces Command in the further development of the Turnkey Solution for Joint Task Force Headquarters Command and Control. APL developed and provided an interactive, web-enabled, automated means for users to access authoritative architecture data resident in the Joint Architecture and Capability Assessment Environment while adhering to the Department of Defense Net-Centric Data Strategy. The assessment environment maps out the available various command and control capabilities and how Joint Task Force Headquarters can bring them together to support a Joint Task Force and its networks.

The room was clean, comfortable and modern, with spacious accommodations. The rooftop was the highlight; it's small, but a nice setup, quiet, and a convenient meeting space. The pool closed at 6pm, which was deemed to be too early by everyone enjoying the sun. That also meant, unless you were going to eat at a table, you couldn't even sit around the pool. I also was not a fan of having to pay for the WiFi given the nightly rate.
The room was nice. The location of the hotel. The staff at the rooftop pool/restaurant. Room viewa
really nice, boutiquey kinda pricy
Right price; clean, convenient ; Staff excellent. Neighborhood sketchy
Really comfortable bed, divine burger (room service), just perfect for one night of comfort before getting back on the road. The fan in the bathroom is synced to the light so it's always on if the lights are on.
Great for business/leisure mix with excellent location and wonderful roof pool and restaurant. Roof has a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere and great views of the Hollywood hills. Early breakfast on the roof a great way to start the day and ending it there with a glass of wine makes for a great stay. Missed not having a gym onsite.
Towels good Pillows smelled
We liked our stay in the Wilshire Crest : we arrived at around 10pm - the front desk clerk was very energetic, friendly and offered his help without becoming a burden: He stepped outside to help me park the car and made sure we're comfortable in our room. Our room was spacious, simply furnished and clean. Similarly, the bathroom was functional and very clean. Overall the hotel is comfortable and simple. It does not convey any luxury but it is pleasant to stay and definitely affordable. I'd say that in it's price range it's probably one of the best facilities you can find. I think the only downside is the street parking. You will find parking for sure - if not in the street then in the adjacent parking lot across the street. Either options is free. Not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience.
it was clean, helpful manager, breakfast.

David joined Glenn, Lou Merloni and Tom Caron to talk about his year at the plate, his perception among fans and media, and his contract status.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Joining us live from a -- Is David Ortiz mr. Ortiz tell you today. They had burned there also. I -- I would just hanging around here you know trying to figure out what's going on the trade deadline you know you have any ideas. Quote who. Why we want that is reviewed at a remote. -- -- -- ploy you just searching a surgeon -- You went home run you when the home run derby. You obviously have turned everything around in the last couple of months you were really reflected here. Recently about this. Lot of people talk lot of people came up with different series. George theory why did you have difficulty bowl last season. In this season getting off to a good start and then suddenly -- all your back to the old David Ortiz. -- A sign of things but upbeat but. Out of the game. You well because things. All. In it renders them whether -- -- want that I where borrowers. 04 or what -- it is of people out by. And that in. Well people. Oh and these and they. In other. There's that resulted in that your. -- -- it. -- -- What bank that failed. Was. These evil when you're the first month of this. Do you have to approach it differently next -- look at these two years and say. To yourself maybe I have to have a different approach going into the season. I don't know yeah. I mean. Almost. What is it written but I I guess people are. Or in -- lot -- work that we. Do you -- as they did we've we've talked level last year in the first couple months you kind of finally were like you don't want them. I'm just gonna -- -- play you know isolate the sick literally went -- -- about the numbers -- have some fun and stop cared so much about you know. Appeal but my numbers are right now did that that experience help you in early enough that just aren't capable of data going. You know at least in May after the tough stuff stock. Development -- realized. The about. -- If we. Expect it. These. Qualities Ava direct view of The Who have physical. Oh I haven't figured it out well. But. People only or. Up quite so it doesn't work right or beltway. In. What it would not work that way. And -- at all. -- -- -- -- is that it is. You work into it and -- these -- all you want. These democratic people of Obama for what let you in April if you buy it if -- won't vote was about or. Oh what was the point of oil or. Oh. Out all day upon his oh it was. You know they would have personal page of personal matters is what Merrill -- you uniformly. And may have thought well let's. Oh so it all -- why -- I mean if you want apartment here. It's -- great let's go over it I think the press ought to ought to look at. That place. Remember -- MySpace and whatever happened. Didn't didn't think to all the people I thought to be honest with yet. I thought on hold people were very supportive and I think they were supportive because. It was you and I think people like Q. I said this many times I was guilty of of of doing it as well where somebody else I probably would have been far more critical. I think that we wanted you. To do well and yet I almost got the feeling that you've felt that you were betrayed the people did. Turned their back on you that they gave up on -- I mean let's face it David and the the manager was the one that. That that you know. What's -- human instant and and pinch hit for your cell that was that the fans that wasn't the media doing I thought people were really supportive. I've never. Over spectrum. Of fans in my -- or order. They want I think it why it's not vote -- -- -- -- earned. Remember that you'll -- -- it's -- -- in oh there you go wrong that bad. Pick up pace of the money he earned the fact. -- or belittle what. They were cute -- years. It'd be. In the white or about what you're saying that. But they thought you know -- or up. -- -- Or to order oh in the problem -- -- flight that a lot of play here. But the fact that they edit the old order. Edit you know we want. That we -- Well people's -- -- you -- all you all want is you -- I heard that it. Let they let that. Buy it it was it was on the new everyday. Well you all. -- -- no it in. Layered hurt. So what I think it was. Quite. Edit it and they are low. It. -- I think a lot. If they don't -- -- so it may well. Anything. I work every day. -- -- -- -- All that that automatic. But. I work five. All. Back on what they think that. You know I think. David did you use that when when you heard it in the media when you heard from reporters when you heard it from may be some fans did you use that as fuel. I did that had to get yourself going but when you were struggling a little bit in April. But you -- I got it proper way of the other end of the -- -- If argue that it it was. What. It is not bumping. I don't wanna go back in Ottawa like. I got it back as if -- article old. Erratic all that is you know. People all of this. That he or what is that simple what you've bought. Every day or anything we think they'll think oh well. If people what what we we -- what to -- Read it if Palin -- What -- that that that didn't make a lot of sense at the time and obviously people come up with with with you know. 08 right. Look at what went over right of that book let. I I. Did I understand I. I understand you being emotional about your proud guy and you're right you earned. What you've got in this town the respect you've got in this town I do disagree with you that maybe there was one reported here there I think on the whole. I actually think that the media in this town was pretty wimpy. In that you weren't producing and I thought they had your back I thought the big they would do you think you. That that that extra breathing room. To try to get it back together again because they wanted you to get it back together because they like Q and you that are in that respect now maybe I missed something. -- -- areas Kevin Bacon and make a point. I'm not very innovative. Mobile. Every day that vote that -- it. What you're saying on the field but they have. I'm not -- well every single. -- -- Like to -- You've probably heard of that date back -- back volume. And I know. -- -- -- -- -- Basically it was it. What is going down. And it. Lately 01 day I annoyed -- my whole life. I know don't want. By that want it back away. If that. You want it right. You know. I don't know why they vote so we. If it -- ago. I don't -- -- -- work you're. Cool with 21 up so. We what you wanna be. -- whatever you -- that is not what -- You know what you don't wanna -- Yeah I mean if you did tell me I said you know. In this game. That is -- That while it. Late in the -- it they're all in -- what. The I mean I thought it cryptic. These. It's not like it up. You know it's not like okay in the face. We make it. -- it oh. Five already this year yeah. It all -- about many. Game development that's well it won't vote yea you know it. It's about the game though. I I I hear I hear what you're saying you'll also spent a lot of time in this town in you know the one. Of the things that makes. It's such a great baseball talent and great Red Sox town is that every single pitch every single pop pop pop up. Everything is scrutinized. And that's because people have a great passion for the game and when a player doesn't play well is that they're they're critical. And when a player does wonderful things and you've done a lot of those over the years. I don't think -- you can find more support. Then it any other town and I and I think that that goes with a lot of the median all of them I agree with. There's some good that the have a contrarian. Approach to to their business. But on the whole. I didn't. I think. You know. This topic papal what I perk can't go by it was great group of -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- It was there. I was. The. What -- if I always always be -- -- aria might want -- It. A lot of if it is saying that you. That we -- for the rest but it -- or. In the lay it on. Google what we have all. We're reading a game or why oh. I don't. I don't let -- where. Are out -- late game. Lightweight. But while. I don't -- -- -- It all -- BC. -- well it says. -- -- I don't. It. -- -- -- or use only the whole impeccable but more about back -- 97 model developed by way out of our. Apparently -- remember that people would say it that I think that the. What that did. Entering that home run. Entering that home run derby. I knew was that extra special feed you going to Letzing won't win just like DC was talking about that ship sitting -- gonna show guys -- still got that pop Pakistan with the ball long long way. So what. I've been involved -- If you don't -- what Michael -- of these. But. Whether. That. I work every day now. -- that I would say outlaw -- thing. Way back you know what you. Thought well what. It is not vote in -- like it would open they don't. You know upbeat that game that you need that. They have it in play. And walk away you. In an open it was what about what was -- what they. -- last week last week David you said that you would like to finish you career with a Red Sox and you'd like to play for few more years would you be disappointed. It's a Red Sox came to you -- just picked up that one year option. And didn't have a conversation with you about a multiyear extension. You know it is. Is on in. These are. Or what what what it. But I can't say you know. The -- that I. -- thing. Well it on. By my main. -- it. That -- unit or. They go well. Are -- people here. Get it done. I would like -- -- it but I think -- I don't know I don't I don't feel. And I say it or. Yet day. You I see. All of the oil. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All. I mean it's the low. -- -- I know what you. I thought it in my game better. The only thing I do is work work work work every day. Might let back way. I've got if I if I want people. You know. I don't put words in your mouth but it it it sounds like what you're saying is that you wouldn't necessarily feel. That comfortable for or only one year that if you were. Playing on a one year deal again. It. All that well what -- it was very. Over the matter. I don't of the Red Sox money until you want to help yeah how are. While I. I can we let's be frank that if you're looking at in -- CEO and I'm looking at some of the other guys right now. -- -- -- -- -- -- With the Texas in the off season one year was it six million dollars -- Guerrero having a terrific -- like you -- a very very good year. I'm looking at some of the guys that have been signs like ban on short term deals. Doesn't look like teams are giving 1213. Fourteen billion dollars. For guys who designated hitters right now I mean that's just the marketplace. All. I really hope -- all of that. -- vote if it bet. Well I've got that number. They've been now almost here. They've been injury is being in the help many -- in late in their great great you know. They -- -- -- out of it now you know. All that -- army gladly. Pay or you'll -- -- you know Malik who. Inevitably make it -- money or that it's about what -- do it right what you know is. It was about remote or you're glad you. And that we want -- -- it back in back. What it will be playing everyday we went. But I think that Utley mediate like -- -- -- -- -- -- many. It was a view and a market. I know what it. We have VA's it was a let the other in let me now divided. If that is the case. Glad it what it BA but -- right you'll mail it. By the it is. -- and now what are. Now you write about that most teams are moving guys around the DH spot I -- ask you David. About this team right now this one if you got guys coming back. And ever since many left ear people always ask you are there enough hitters around you is there enough offense here on Nightline last night when you carry this -- with a couple home runs. When you get everybody back. Are there enough hitters around you to make this a team that can make a run at the plants. -- -- -- -- -- -- As one of the Atlanta. Live on -- -- it isn't over or but it goes. What it right when. Oh. Or wrong. Or why. They. Like you know what we're allies felt. Of that as well. As corporate circle we got it it was the wave of out of a lineup. I think just. But but there have been times in the pal David -- you said -- we need to go get another bad you don't think that's the case with this team because of the guys coming back from injury. Back out there you know. Help. Always. -- -- You know as part. It that we need help. Gotta. -- I think that we need the help. -- -- -- Month month month I would what a right now. What was you know other -- Air. By. What ally and all of that and I -- opening -- you know. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Did a lot of than most teams and a club -- -- -- -- this time a year to sit there and say well you'll be nicer look around you showed teams at players can say you know. We could use the next Sierra front office -- is cool and help this ball club but I had the sense that. With everybody coming back -- the quality players coming back you don't have that sense and a club also then I mean we we speculate on ball and help put. You guys have that feeling like we get every -- gut. A lot of the what you if there's economic and a whole morning it all the late Saturday they let it eat it or vehicles here. Or CEO it. And it brought up and everyone out. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I expect that brought up are -- no we. The way that -- -- We. Would that was it. It up for. Now -- -- Wouldn't it. I think that'll. A bit small. And in. And I know that. You know it. What they know what was it but I it would buy it though is that book ain't. That's -- -- And it is so I was. Fighting. If we. -- Over. Several weeks. In song. David Ortiz said not only one home run derby here a week and a half ago but he is now turning. That event around in helping kids. And David Ortiz and children's fund you can go online to David Ortiz children's fund dot org up until twelve midnight tonight. And all of the various items. From the home run derby that David Ortiz won all going to be available for auction -- itself terrific item. And you're gonna help on a wonderful wonderful cause and I wanna congratulate because another restaurant business is not the easiest business in the world but congratulations. The first anniversary of big poppies -- was coming up. This weekend. David's gonna be here Friday from 11 AM to twelve noon. And you're gonna have a home run derby trophy with you right. That. Well. People being in. We whatever that -- that. Lou you've heard framing an -- ever for an emotional well very good and -- Eight -- in -- it. If at all weekend long they're gonna have a raffle prizes of the gonna do a whole big week in nothing for the first anniversary. A Big Papi notes. -- I'd be here in all of my. On days so Whitman they. Well. -- are very. -- Well we're. And that you we'll. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 08. Of them on or. Making. When -- -- and so it's pretty cool. Almost all the little I don't -- -- with what goes out shoes you wear those -- -- personal -- what they -- In the -- -- didn't yield the upon it tell us about what happens. It's -- that destroyed like -- don't want them to really show them off then what god did and I'm not sure they're meant that they do look good now. -- Issues. Would have in the microwave. On the very. Very bet. They'll do about. It it would I'd just. A pretty. That's a great idea that's a great idea for the the restaurant wanna try and stuff aren't gonna open a restaurant. That might work again David. David Ortiz. David Ortiz children's fund dot org you have until twelve midnight the cornea right now could you can bid on some phenomenal items. From this home run derby -- with the bat the ball most other stuff including the shoes is just OJ. All go into the children's fund and stop by big poppies grow this weekend that route nine east. In Frey began my understanding gonna be given way bottles and del -- lot slots in the the but the main ghosts also they being given out a way to this weekend. Like that's. I David great -- can -- always. The good one. Seed in the Ortiz didn't mention.

I am getting a permanent crown on one of top front teeth on Mon or Tues. Last night, lost my temp crown. Now, I look like a hillbilly because it's one of my front teeth. I am uncomfortable talking to anyone. I know I only have a few days and yes, I suppose I could "hide" in my house, but it's still embarrassing even around my family. I don't believe that any of the cement would work because the tooth is already shaved down, but is there something I can use to hide the gap until I go on Mon.?
Lost my Temporary Filling in Front Tooth?

What Robert Frost Can Teach Performance Poets
Please. Please. No more. I can't take another earthy diva bellowing an ode to her ample hips. No mores slithery temptresses urging loverboys to traverse the landscape of their bodies. Let's do away with rotund wordsmiths defiantly extolling the joys of foodstuffs and fatback. Can we finally bid adieu to every minority—little people, black Republicans, Dick Cheney's hunting buddies—whimpering about his or her miserable lot in life? And why are poets so angry? Black people mad about being marginalized, poor people mad about having to stand in long lines for handouts, minorities mad about being racially profiled, Asians mad about being stereotyped, women mad about disparities in pay, teenagers pissed off about curfews, Republicans mad about their rapidly waning power, Democrats mad at themselves for failing to take advantage of the Republicans' rapidly waning power. And everybody's writing a poem and looking for a stage and a hot mic.
So much…enthusiasm.
There have been moments of sheer brilliance in the realm of what has come to be known as "performance poetry," coupled with the emergence of a few household names—but only if you live in an incredibly cool house. (For instance, I'm pretty sure I was friggin' brilliant during my three or four minutes on HBO's urban-tinged wordfest "Def Poetry Jam.") But there have also been moments—interminably lengthy, mind-numbing moments—that redefine the word "torture." Take your pick—rapid-fire screeching, public (and pubic) therapy, bad stand-up and defiant stanzas of unbridled woe, from poets daring us to top their woe with ours. And trust me, in that contest, there no way we win.
I'm not going to single out "Def Poetry Jam," but I will mention it because it's such a glaringly public forum. The show pretty much mirrors a night in any poetry venue not sponsored by the Poetry Society of America or the Academy of American Poets. Anything can happen. There have been times when I've TIVOed a single spoken stanza to play over and over for friends and family, envious of the way it unfolds and explodes. But I know that every time an impressionable sort tunes into that painfully hip poetry television show and sees some painfully hip poet bellowing his pain, a devil gets his horns.
There's just so much…enthusiasm.
Even Robert Frost understood. In "Education by Poetry," a 1930 talk delivered at Amherst College (and later crafted for publication in the Amherst Graduates" Quarterly), the rumble-voiced poet described the loudmouthed open mic confessional—as practiced by many a modern-day performance poet—to a T:
"There is the enthusiasm like a blinding light, or the enthusiasm of the deafening shout, the crude enthusiasm that you get uneducated by poetry, outside of poetry. It is exemplified in what I might call 'sunset raving.' You look westward toward the sunset, or if you get up early enough, eastward toward the sunrise, and you rave. It is ohs and ahs with you and no more."
Ohs and ahs and no more. That could be a blurb etched upon the foreheads of about 75% of the poets I've heard lately, well-intentioned bellowers who are masters of pretty pictures strung together or rants laced with vitriol. Unfortunately, overwrought enthusiasm—complete with grimaces, raised fists, clenched teeth and curled toes—is quite often mistaken for passion and, regrettably, talent. The poem itself is all but forgotten in the anger, the intensity, the vaguely choreographed histrionics.
But, according to Frost, there's another type of enthusiasm.
"…the enthusiasm I mean is taken through the prism of the intellect and spread on the screen in a color, all the way from hyperbole at one end—or overstatement, at one end—to understatement at the other end. It is a long strip of dark lines and many colors. Such enthusiasm is one object of all teaching in poetry." Speaking of a presentation he'd heard the day before delivering his speech, Frost marveled that "It had all the colors of an enthusiasm passed through an idea."
Enthusiasm passed through an idea. Taken through the prism of intellect. Many colors. The object of all teaching in poetry.
One of the things I stress whenever I'm in a classroom—6th grade or graduate school—is the hazard of rushing headlong into a poem, driven by some overriding emotion, and spilling all that emotion—undiluted and hollow—onto the page. I urge my students to stop, take a breath, and look for an unexpected entry point into the poem—one that makes it arguably lyric instead of merely a lyrical argument.
As Frost stated in his speech, the idea is paramount; the idea should be the result of the poet's eye and his intellect. The idea will guide you toward softer ways to say hard things; it will teach you the benefits of quiet, of knowing when a scream is warranted. Enthusiasm, when filtered through this solid beginning, is no longer of the "sunset raving" variety. It's not ohs and ahs at the mere appearance of the sizzling gold, the persistent heat. It's whispering quiet thanks that the sun has chosen to rise at all, again.
Comments (3)
I agree that the current recipe for slam/spokenword/performance poetry soup is a lukewarm dose of spice and bad tripe. It doesn't have to be that way, but who/what is out there to encourage Sucky Poet #59879 to un-suck-ify his work? In this era of get-rich-quick spoken word fiends, not a damn thing.
I don't have a problem with slammers or spoken worders sucking to high heaven when they first start out. All of us do/did/will. I guess my issue is when the poet in question has been at it for more than three years without managing to crack a book…ANY BOOK. It's one thing when the fat boy does his "Sexy Fat Boy" poem…quite another when a University is paying him $1500 (or less…much less) to do that poem four years later, along with ten new poems that sound exactly like the first.
Patricia! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
I keep asking myself when does attacking the stereotype become cliche? I know that there's a phase where many poets need to affirm themselves and criticize what's blaring obvious, but what about the subtleties of detail and nuance that tell us the same things? What about people finding a new perspective or an unexpected turn that leaves making that slight "hmmm…" at the solid points that lead us where the poet wants us to land? There's something to be said for that. Thanks for sharing Frost's words and your own to reiterate that our poems are not necessarily simple or formulaic.
And yes, of course, hosannas for nuance. I think perhaps the need for BIG BIG BIG in slam/spoken word poems is a function of only wanting to please an audience in one way…the over-the-top manner that garners 10's. Audiences can be taken on those Frost rides, though, indeed they crave that, but there are relatively few "performance poets" who recognize this and can pull it off.
Not-So-Side Note: Of the ones who can pull off the subtle, how many of em are womenfolk? Rachel McKibbens, Daphne Gottlieb, Rachel Kann…..? I almost think calling them performance poets is an insult.

The Real Hitch
Trip Start May 15, 2004
31Trip End Aug 09, 2004
We had decided to take a last minute trip up to the Rockies again that morning. That's when we shot those yoga photos. So it was after 3:00 in the afternoon when Nell drove off. I was armed with a piece of poster board that said "EAST" on one side and "CHICAGO" on the other. I had also purchased a tent and a sleeping bag in case I spent a night or two on the side of the road.
I was too stupid to be very nervous. I knew I led a charmed life and that everything would be fine.
After 30 minutes of trucks ignoring me on their way out the truck stop, I got a little worried. But just then a guy pulled in and motioned me over.
I asked him if I could catch a ride, he said sure. He asked where I was headed, I said Chicago. He nodded. I asked how far he could take me, he said "All the Way."
See. Charmed. We drove all the way to Iowa that night. I learned all about trucks and my new buddy Rex. Rex. Isn't that a great trucker name?
This guy had done it all. He had worked on a tobacco farm, been in several bands, built peers on Lake Michigan, traveled with the carnival. Yep. A Carnie. Fantastic.
I told him I was in college and traveling around the country. He told me I should take some time off and work for the carnival for a year. He said that's where all the chicks are at (not in those words). I didn't realize that Carnies did so well with the ladies.
So Rex pulled into a truck stop at about 10 p.m. I mentioned that I had my tent and would need a place to camp. He pointed to the extra bunk bed in the cab and said I was welcome to crash in it. I thought about all the stories I had heard of hitch hikers disappearing or being murdered. I thought about how everyone I had told of my plans to hitch around the country had assured me I would die.
I thought about how Rex hadn't shaved or bathed in quite some time and I hoped he wouldn't climb into my bunk and want to cuddle. Yeah...cuddle.
But I didn't want to turn down his hospitality. He seemed like a good guy. Plus, like I had told my mother, "You have faith in God, I have faith in humanity." Only time will tell how misguided either of us is. But since I was about to sleep in the cab of a strangers semi-truck in Iowa, I might find out sooner.
Well, the bed had a lot of dirty clothes in it and I didn't sleep real well. But I did sleep enough. And I did live to see another day.
See. No worries.
Rex drove me all the way into Illinois on Intersate 80. He had to turn north and head toward Green Bay, Wisconsin. So I called Ed and had him head west on 80 an hour and pick me up. So I hitched 1000 miles east, it took less than 24 hours, and I was alive and had a new story to tell. What are the chances?

Racial Politics and Robert Penn Warren's Poetry
€ 56,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Dezember 2002
BeschreibungRobert Penn Warren, America's first Poet Laureate, three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, founder of the New Criticism, and one of the most prolific American poets of the twentieth century, wrote more about race than perhaps any other white literary figure of his generation. His was a crucial voice speaking to other white southerners fearful of the impact of integration on their way of life. Tracing connections between his changing views on racial politics and his varying poetic theories and themes, Anthony Szczesiul offers a new, revisionary reading of Warren's diverse and extensive canon of poetry.Szczesiul delineates the political and ideological implications of Warren's evolving aesthetic, revealing that his poetry was in an intensive and ongoing dialogue with its changing social and historical contexts. Politically, Warren made the dramatic transition from a segregationist to an integrationist position. Poetically, his career successfully bridges the modem and postmodern eras of 20th-century American poetry. Szczesiul demonstrates that Warren's work evolved not simply as a natural consequence of artistic maturity and development but through difficult negotiations with issues of self and identity, politics and aesthetics, individual will and social change, and race and cultural pluralism. He maintains that Warren's aesthetic conflicts become especially apparent when we consider his poetry alongside his racial politics.Szczesiul is the first to thoroughly trace the ways in which Warren's changing thoughts on race influenced his aesthetic thinking, and vice versa. His frank approach to this inflammatory subject makes considerable use of unpublished archival materials, fromwhich Warren emerges as an extremely complex figure with great contemporary relevance.

Teppei Yamada-Scriba
Teppei Yamada-Scriba, Professor at Meiji University in Tokyo, painter, inventor of a loudspeaker system for audio equipment protected by several international patents, poet-scholar, holistic thinker and pianist who does not play the piano. He was born in Tokyo in 1946.
After having written a number of critical essays, including An Attempt to Reconstruct Friedrich Hölderlins Poetics, Heinrich Höltys Lyrics Without Disposition, The Hidden Sun in Klopstocks Two Odes, and others, he was nominated Professor of German Literature at Meiji University, where he now teaches Comparative Poetry and Art History. His research field explores China, Korea and Japan from the 8th to the 13th centuries, and also European art history.
He is now preparing two books: a comprehensive East-West art history, and a collaborative work with Italian poet Steven Grieco, on Japanese, Korean and Chinese poetry.
He is also a re-discoverer of the Italian Baroque Classicist painter Francesco Cozza, and a collector of this artists works.
Recently he turned his attention to Southeast Asian art history. Yet, he is still an admirer of the European artists: Donatello, Giorgione, Matthia Preti.
At age 4 he had to stop learning violin because of a family disaster caused by the American Occupation Army in Japan. At that time he already appreciated European classical music coming to him over a radio which had originally been installed in a German submarine. The unforgettable pieces at that time were for him César Francks Psyche conducted by Walter Goehr. This piece still lingers in his memory. Other recordings which deeply impressed him as a student include Liszts Dante Symphony conducted by George Sebastian (it is perhaps not a coincidence that these two conductors were both strongly anti-Nazi ). And later, several recordings by Mitropoulos, Freitas Branco, and the earliest grammophone recording of pianist Raoul Pugno in 1904.
Although he had all along been appreciating musical interpretations, especially of works by Liszt, not all piano recordings satisfied him, with the exception of a few pieces performed by Walter Rummel and Edith Farnadi. When he finally realized and was disappointed by the callousness of Walter Gieseking, whom he had adored since his youth, he decided to play the pieces himself, using a sequencer and synthesizer without keyboard. In 2006 he purchased a fully computer-controlled Yamaha CF3 grand piano.
One must here emphasize that programmed piano performance, as Prof Yamada understands it, means absolute freedom controlled only by the performers imagination. It is as difficult as driving a spaceship manually. It takes incomparably more time than playing with the hands. In the beginning, in order to complete one piece lasting 5 minutes it took more than 1,500 hours.
While the most important point with conventional pianists is to perfect the piano technique, in the case of the programmer pianist the question is how to realize in concrete form the concept in his imagination.
In order to devote himself full-time to his artistic activity, Prof Yamada is planning to retire in advance from Meiji University. His performance can be seen as a new arch added to the bridge connecting the virtual and real worlds, a connection which was already attempted by the Heian poets of 13th century Japan.
As a pianist Teppei Yamada-Scriba has neither a musical career behind him, nor any formal training in music. What he expresses is purely based on his own autodidactic experience of this art.

Some advice
I have a pretty large kingdom by now playing as castille, it encompasses all of spain, portugal and some ways into the southern muslim territories. Im having a tough time now trying to keep it together though. Two of my vassal dukes are making it particularly complicated on me by rebelling every chance they freaking get. I quelled their rebellion a couple of times now, but the last one by the duke of portucale was so close that I geniunely thought I might lose it all at that point. So I decided to strip him away of some power by excommunicating him, putting him in jail and taking away one of his duchies (the main one which was of portucale) and giving it to another more trustworthy and content vassal. I then proceeded to change the succession laws of my kingdom to electoral where I choose the heir, and so does everyone else, with the idea that this might spread out some of the landed titles a little more and keep one single duke from being too powerful (by the way the duke of portucale gained such power by acquiring most of his territory on his own, I always do my best to disperse the power amongst my vassals as best I can) So any tips or advise as to changing the laws of successions and if that will actually help my cause, or just any other general idea that you think will help maintain control over my kingdom as it continues to grow larger. Thanks!

Had exactly the same problem. Had conquered most of the Iberian peninsula by the time my 2nd king died. Sadly I always forget to check my heir for his stats. After 63 years of ruling(which gives a positive bonus) my kingdom came crumbling down in 2 years.
Anyways, unless you have the right to strip them of their rights/imprison them/execute etc: dont. Your other vassals will get a minus to their relationship to you which is the key here in my opinion. Especially when a new king comes into play. Improve diplomacy as much as you can. I'm atm playing as the kingdom of Finland (console commands for pagans) and my msot favorite king was the one with a diplomacy of around 50. Personal diplomacy bonus gave me like 60+ to all relationships = more troops/tax and no trouble.
So diplomacy and if you have alot of money give gifts/honorary titles to the rebellious vassals while waiting for further approval. Also if you have money use it on events like tournaments and great hunts. It will boost your prestige and usually relations with your vassals (if you have 500 prestige you get a 5+ bonus to relations).
That's just a quick roundup of my ideas not all. In a bit of a hurry.

Changing succesion laws will hurt diplomatic relations, so be careful about changing them too often.
Elective succesion doesn't mean YOU get to choose your successor, it means you get to nominate one. You and all duchies of your de-jure Kingdom get to nominate one heir, and the one with the most votes will succeed the throne.
IMO the best law is Primogeniture (oldest son inherits all titles), but Open and Seniority succesion are also okay I guess.

Great story! It was very detailed. Interesting what she said about Patrick Chan:
Also interesting is her comments on her coaching relationship:When put on the spot about whether she liked Takahashi's programs over two-time defending world champion Patrick Chan of Canada, Suzuki thought for a moment and provided some interesting perspective.
"I prefer Daisuke's programs over Patrick's, but Patrick has really accurate edge work," she observed. "It seems sometimes like he has a turbo engine on his edge. That's how fast he is and how much speed he has. It just flows. He has very deep edges. He is very accurate on where to put his edges on the ice. That's why he is so strong with his edge work and footwork.
"Patrick is improving on how to express his emotions, but I prefer the originality of Daisuke's programs. But I understand why Patrick gets such high scores despite the mistakes he makes.
"If you ask other skaters to do the same things with those transitions in their programs, it's impossible. From the first step it just starts flowing, he gets up to speed. He is very accurate."
Suzuki suggests that skating judges today are better able to assess the quality of performances because they have been there themselves.
"I personally think that today many of the judges are former skaters and ice dancers who have done compulsory and school figures," she said. "By having more of these kind of judges, they know how accurate Patrick and the footwork of other skaters are. If they do the right thing, they get the scores that they deserve."
"It has been nearly 10 years since I have been working with Mr. Nagakubo," she said. "When you are working with somebody that long, you start saying things very straightforwardly to each other. So we are fighting all the time.
"Some people say it is like fights between father and daughter. He will scold me sometimes and I will say something back. At the same time, afterward we can have communication. He can explain his feelings about why he said something.
"There are advantages and disadvantages to having such a long relationship. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to see his face today, but tomorrow will be OK. I think our relationship is really strong and good."
Thank you for the link, great read! It was interesting to hear her thoughts regarding her eating disorder and how she felt about being known for the disorder rather than her skating.
Her interview is honest, open, and heartfelt, just like her skating.

Interesting read. She sounds very candid and levelheaded. I like her even more!
I love her insights on Patrick and Daisuke. Her description of what makes each of them a great skater is so precise and articulate. I hope she stays in skating for a long time to come.
So she thinks today's judges are better judges on skating performances.
So many skaters acknowledged understanding of Patrick's high scores. But many skating fans don't. This is the difference between an Olympic sport and a common art form. I do not claim that I fully understand them, but I do respect the judge decisions with an open mind for learning and studying.
Last edited by Bluebonnet; 05-16-2012 at 03:08 PM.
LOL, she didn't say the judging result was accurate. Only that Patrick deserves high(est) skating skills scores.
My favourite note about the intereview was how often it has her pausing, thinking and then answering. She seems both generous and thoughtful, which is a lovely combination.
DSC (Detroit Skating Club) Twitter reported:
"Currently, three of the top four Japanese ladies, Akiko Suzuki, Kanako Murakami, and Haruka Imai, are training here at DSC. More to come."
"Top Japanese Mens skater Takahiko Kozuka (2012 World competitor ranked 2nd in Japan) is also here at DSC working with Yuka Sato."
I am wondering if the Japanese ladies are having their programs choreographed by Pasquale Carmerlengo. Time will tell.
I love Akiko! Thank you Akiko is you read goldenskate for inspiring us with your fight to stay skating when people wrote you off. I started a thread that went not far about what we want to see you skate to next year. I hope classical music experts like Olympia find you some great piece. I saw Paul Taylor dance company and lost the program, but the music they used for a funny piece was perfect...I'll have to look up the company and see what they used. I also liked the Brandenburg piece they danced to, which would be a good serious piece but if anyone here is a fan (New Yorkers?) of the famous Paul Taylor Dance Co, they do this very fun, funny dance as bees-male and female-sounds weird I know, but it is classical, orchestral, uplifting and I could see u skating to it.
Akiko, I hope you win the WC next year. You are a very delightful skater. I just hope you podium again. I am your biggest fan. You inspire me! I'd love to see David Wilson do your Sp and Pasquale do your LP. Maybe I won't be here to see it, but I hopoe you have great confidence and good luck. Japanese ladies have Akiko, Haruka and Mao, and the budding Kanako, but you stand your ground. Japan looks to dominate singles and grab the Sochi podium. I hope you can hang in with the Russian babies. Akiko is a special person. She may not look like Shizuka and be tall and thin, but she is like a cool drink. I know I am gushing. Great to have seen Carolina realize her potential and Akiko do so well. It was an inspiring year for ladies. Only downside was Leonova on the podium and not Wagner, but next year, I hope to see Akiko move up to silver.
I like how she honestly and fairly compared Patrick and Dai. She is a diplomat but truthful! Go Akiko!!!!

New X-Division Champion, Eric Young Returns, Xplosion Match Taped
– Eric Young made his return to television on last night's Impact Wrestling.
– Kenny King defeated Rob Van Dam on Thursday's live episode of Impact Wrestling to win the TNA X Division Championship. The stipulation was if King lost, he would be forced to "leave" the X Division.
– After the Impact went off the air, James Storm defeated DOC via disqualification in a match taped for Xplosion. DOC was disqualified for using a hammer from under the ring. When DOC shoved the referee, Storm hit Last Call and celebrated with a beer bash.

Never seen this before, has triangle filter
My pretend members respond. No never seen that before , Looks overpriced and not very practical , Probably never seen one because the other CAI systems are better design , wouldn't have it , How would you access the filter?
Where do the 2 intakes go? At the ends of grille? Seems like you would have to get a smaller radiator.
The other pictures looks like it's crammed directly onto throttle body and intakes squeezed down the sides.
Just a new twist on an old idea.
The air cleaner of a 70's Olds:
it is universal But will not work on most cars or trucks. Some put the inlets down by the tow hooks or Fog lights..
That's a good point. Looking at the pic again, it looks like the hoses are pretty flexible and can be extended pretty far.

This question comes from Rebbecca: Can you tell me when Christmas decorations go up at WDW? We'll be there mid-November.
Rebbecca: Decorations go up in the parks first. In fact, work has been underway on the castle and in Hollywood Studios for the Osborne Lights for weeks now. Light displays such as these go up first and then, right after Halloween, the parks are completely decked out. You can expect the parks to be finished by November 8th, which is when the first Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party begins and when the Osborne lights are turned on. The main difference you'll see from November to December is that the Christmas tree in Town Square is placed there from another location in the Magic Kingdom after the taping of the Christmas parade in early December.
Resorts vary. Last year, for example, Pop Century, the Grand Floridian (including the gingerbread house) and the Polynesian were decorated by November 18th, but the Epcot area resorts weren't finished until November 24th, so you may miss out on some resort displays.
Thanks for your question and I hope this helps!

Dianne Roulston looks across Oakley Creek that divides Owairaka Park and Underwood Park in the suburb of Avondale. Her family have lived in the Owairaka area for years but it was only recently that they explored Underwood, the "other park".
"Our reaction was 'wow'. We wish we had discovered it much earlier. It is a fantastic, safe place for kids to ride their bikes and a nice stroll forfamilies."
Ms Roulston says a bridge connecting the parks would encourage more people to walk from one to the other. Many people have told her that there had been some talk at council about building a bridge but that "no one seems to have an awareness of what has happened".
Many children risk crossing over a narrow pole. "Of course, the kids will use that. It's human nature kids would cross it. I've never seen anyone fall in but it's not safe," Ms Roulston says.
Puketapapa Local Board chairman Richard Barter, who holds the transport, environment and sustainability portfolios, says the board is 90 per cent of the way to getting the $340,000 footbridge under way. It was supposed to have been started last summer and ready two months ago. "From my understanding, there are no problems.
It is just the wheels of bureaucracy are many and they sometimes turn slower than we would like."
He says most design matters - such as provision for floods - have already been addressed.
The public would need to be advised of the proposal, "which means another consultation process with affected parties".
"The consent will be notified as it changes the surrounds due to the ramps etcetera leading up to the bridge. While the local community has been very enthusiastic about the bridge, you never know if someone might object."
Construction will still be a few months away, Mr Barter says. "Work will not commence until the area is dry enough for trucks."
Ms Roulston says it is great that the project has not fallen off the agenda. She says Owairaka Park is a fantastic park as well as an easy place to get to for meeting other mums with young children. But she wonders how long it will take to link the two parks.
"When will the notification and consultation process start? If that could commence now then at least we might see the bridge installed at the beginning of summer rather than the end."
Presently, people can access Underwood Park only from Richardson Rd - a comparatively long way.
"The local roads, especially Richardson Rd, have got busier than ever since the completion of the motorway from Onehunga to New Windsor," Ms Roulston says. "Owairaka really needs safe and accessible green space for locals to exercise and simply enjoy the outdoors without a constant stream of traffic passing by."
Owairaka Park was formerly the site of Owairaka Boys' Home. It became a community garden in 2006 to soothe friction between various groups.
It was upgraded in 2008 at a cost of $1.64 million and has a basketball court, skate park and playground.
A bridge to Underwood Park would also connect it to the growing number of cycleways.

It was supposed to be a night out on the tiles. But judging by her outfit, Pippa Middleton would rather have had a night in front of the television.
The Duchess of Cambridge's little sister left her usual party uniform of a dress and heels at home, instead picking a pair of baggy silk trousers for an evening at her favourite nightspot, Loulous in Mayfair. She didn't stray too far from her classic conservative style, however, pairing the Aztec-print trousers with a plain nude jacket, black top and a gold necklace by Kinnari.
And while they may have looked like pyjamas, they're not the kind you'd be happy to spill jam down in the morning. In fact, they cost £295 from Temperley London one of the Duchess of Cambridge's favourite designers.
Miss Middleton, 29, stayed at the private members club until the early hours of yesterday morning, smiling and giggling with friends as she left at around 2.30am.
Her stockbroker boyfriend Nico Jackson, 35, didn't appear to be with her.

Kathryn Bolkovac
Kathryn Bolkovac is a former American police investigator from Nebraska. She worked as a UN International Police Force monitor. She came to prominence when she sued her employers for unfair dismissal after she lost her job following her attempts to expose sex trafficking in Bosnia. Her story was shown in the film The Whistleblower.
Originally hired by DynCorp Aerospace, a British subsidiary of US based DynCorp International, in the framework of a UN-related contract, she filed a lawsuit[1] in Great Britain against DynCorp for unfair dismissal due to a protected disclosure (whistleblowing), and on 2 August 2002 the tribunal unanimously found in her favour.[2] DynCorp had a $15 million contract to hire and train police officers for duty in Bosnia at the time. She reported such officers were paying for prostitutes and participating in sex trafficking.[3] Many of these officers were forced to resign under suspicion of illegal activity, but none have been prosecuted, as they also enjoy immunity from prosecution in Bosnia.[4] Madeleine Rees testified in her support.
She lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Amsterdam.[5]
Bolkovac's story was made into a film, The Whistleblower, released in 2010. Following a film screening of The Whistleblower, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon opened a panel discussion on sexual exploitation and abuse in conflict and post-conflict situations.[6] The film maker and senior UN officials addressed issues raised in the film, including human trafficking and forced prostitution as well as the organisation's effort to combat sexual exploitation of women and children.
Bolkovac has also co-authored a 2011 book with Cari Lynn, "The Whistleblower: Sex Trafficking, Military Contractors and One Woman's Fight for Justice.[7]

Has anyone else noticed that when you select a 3x5 card size to PRINT this recipe, the ingredient list is wrong ?? There is no Parkay listed to use but the Pam Spray is listed twice. So in the directions when Parkay is mentioned and you're actually cooking and family is waiting , it's too late to go back and check. I quickly added a little unsalted butter and just guessed the amount. Turned out o.k. but you really have to supervise these Web-Pages. Note: Dried Cherries are a perfect substitute for Cranberries, if you like!

Mackenzie Phillips Tells Way Too Much In Her Book
Child actress, Mackenzie Phillips, has been very open about her past drug use. But in her new book, High on Arrival, the 49-year-old daughter of musician, John Phillips, of the Mamas and the Papas, reveals that she and her dad maintained a long-term incestuous affair.
Mackenzie was 19-years-old on the eve of her wedding to Jeff Sessler, part of the Rolling Stones entourage, when her father arrived "determined to stop it."
As Phillips writes, "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed." She adds, "My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father."
Yikes. That is not what they mean by "something new."
In the book, Phillips explains that in 1980, both she and her father checked into rehab, at which time their "sexual relationship with him had become consensual," according to People.

Tech blogger Om Malik does some really good work covering the telecom/technology space. If he's not on your reading list, he should be. I don't always agree with him, but he brings some interesting perspective to coverage of this space.
Today he has an interesting look at two complementary articles on Google and its advertising future – the Wall Street Journal's Kevin Delaney offers the first and Richard Bennett, in the San Francisco Chronicle, provides the second.
Malik wonders if the WSJ article is intended to draw sympathy for Google as it tries to grab at the brass ring with the Yahoo deal.
If anything, the [Delaney] article paints a rather sympathetic view of Google and its money machine. I am surprised by the timing of this story. After all, these problems are quite well known and have been subject of many tomes.
I wonder if this story and Google's challenges are meant to portray the search-and-online advertising giant as an underdog and win it some sympathy from regulators as it goes in to get its advertising deal with Yahoo approved.
Malik links to Bennett's column which suggests that Google's renewed interest in net neutrality (a concept it had begun to walk away from, until Cerf's recent comments implying a preference for nationalization) may be an effort at drawing attention away from the Google-Yahoo deal.
Nearing an agreement with Yahoo to grab the ailing company's search business, Google scripted a series of dramatic public events apparently designed to distract from the pending deal. These events emphasize network neutrality, an ever-changing regulatory ideal that Google thrust into the political spotlight two years ago. As entertaining as this spectacle is, regulators should not be fooled.
In his exploration of Google's Net neutrality efforts and the timing, Bennett charges that there is a certain amount of doublespeak going on. While highlighting Google's argument that net neutrality is necessary because there are only a few competitors in broadband provision, Bennett points out that the Google-Yahoo deal would give the Big-G 85% of the market for search ads, and the ability to set prices with no competitive controls.
I think both articles are interesting reads, and thank Om for pointing them out. Malik also has a poll up on his site asking readers to weigh in on whether the Google-Yahoo deal should go through.

Howard's Landing, Howard Beach, On The Bay
From time to time in Historical Views, mention was made of Howard's Landing on the north shore of Jamaica Bay, just west of the Bay Railroad in Howard Beach.
Howard's was noted as a Jamaica Bay colony- along with Goose Creek, The Raunt, and Broad Channel- with Beach Channel just to the south of Broad Channel.
All these bay hamlets had one thing in common- The Bay Railroad- for they all were built along the railroad trestle of the New York, Woodhaven and Rockaway Beach Railroad between 1881 and 1900. Howard's Landing was the last colony built along the bay trestle. Trains going to Rockaway would stop at Howard's Landing before commencing onto the bay crossing, on the trestle, passing thru four other bay colonies.
William H. Howard, a Brooklyn leather manufacturer, began driving piles out into the bay southward for about 1,750 feet, and then eastward about 1,100 feet to the station on the trestle. The first boardwalk, (north-south) 25 feet wide, was called Pier #1. Lots- underwater- 25'x100' were for sale or lease, on which small clubhouses or residences could be built upon pilings over the bay waters.
The walk to the trestle station (east-west) was about 12 feet wide, and had a drawbridge approximately 50 feet in width, to allow passage of boats in and out of Hawtree Creek.
Howard's Hotel was built on a huge wooden platform at the end of Pier #1. On the east side was a protected stillwater swimming pool- 90'x75'- with numerous bathhouses on the pool's north side. Behind the Howard Hotel (shown in today's Historical View) were support and dancing pavilions, and about a dozen or so boat clubs. Among them (on a 1920s survey) were the Hummer, North Star, Harmonie, Aquae, Anabes, Bushwick Wheelman, Prospect, World, Journal, and Barnacle. On the west side of Pier #1 (in the photo) is the Comfort Club, which seemed like a very exclusive club for the younger generation.
Fishing parties were catered too, and boats were for hire. Pool and billiard rooms were available, and a clubhouse rented for $150 a year. Rooms with lockers went for $20 a year.
Boatmen were always annoyed with Howard's closing off of the mouth of Hawtree Creek, and bitterness was always expressed.
On October 23, 1907- a Wednesday night- the hotel, dancing pavilion, and 18 small cottages were wiped out by fire, and never rebuilt. Flying sparks drifted south to the other bay colonies, setting small fires.
It was said that fisher/boatmen in the area "torched" Howard's, but that was never proven. Again, on November 30, 1907, the last three remaining cottages of Howard's were said to be "torched" and reduced to waterlogged ashes.
It was again suspected that the fire was of incendiary origin.
William H. Howard then kept his feet on solid ground to develop what is today Howard Beach.

TomTom's original GO could be credited with kick-starting the march of the personal navigation device into the mainstream, way back in 2004. But since then the GO has gone further upmarket, and even the TomTom ONE isn't exactly the most entry-level sat-nav on the market. So, at the beginning of 2010, TomTom introduced the Start, which slotted underneath the ONE to provide a cheaper alternative, with even fewer thrills. But scarcely a few months later, we have the second incarnation, the Start2.
Like the original version, the Start2 is intended to be fun and funky. So it's available in a plethora of colours, including yellow, orange, red, purple, green, blue, and if you're of more sober constitution you can even get it in black. The coloured bezel is also removable, so you can switch it for an alternative when the mood takes you. You also get a carry pouch in the box, which is colour-coded with the device, but subtly, so it won't clash with your outfit.
Like the ONE, the screen mount is integrated into the unit itself, although this can be removed and left attached to the car window if you wish. The car power adapter uses a regular mini-USB connection, so in theory any USB charger can be used with the Start2. However, here we encounter the device's first new feature compared to its predecessor: RDS-TMC compatibility. For a touch under £50, an alternative car power adapter can be used that provides the necessary FM radio aerial and circuitry to receive the updates, which will then be fed to the map and routing functions in the usual TomTom manner. Not surprisingly, there are no LIVE service options with the Start2.
The other significant new feature is Advanced Lane Guidance. This is TomTom's name for the full-screen graphic we have come to know and love, which pops up at complex junctions to make it absolutely clear which lane you should be in. A small icon already appears on the information bar at the bottom with a schematic showing the junction, but the new Lane Guidance is a realistic depiction of the lanes you will be seeing outside your car windscreen, and includes the appropriate road signs as well. It doesn't pop up at every junction, though.
The final new feature is that street names are now spoken out loud as you enter them, so you don't need to look at the sat-nav whilst searching for a road sign. We didn't find this chimed in as often as we would have expected, but could still be handy when the signs were partially hidden and hard to locate.
Can you guys do a review of the Android turn-by-turn navigation? It affects whether I should just go the latest android for my next GPS or buy a dedicated device.
Can you choose between Yards and meters for junction distance yet? I can choose between miles and km with my One V2 but I can't choose meters for shorter distances. Yards mean nothing to me!
I have just bought this satnav from Halfords, no case for it though. Initial impressions are quite good. Small and compact, it took me some routes that differed from my old garmin. I quite like the window fixing that was stiff enough to make me reach for the instructions, to make sure I was not forcing it wrong. The interface is different from my old garmin which will make it odd for a while, but more intuitive. The screen Updates quite quickly when scrolling around the map, though this is a relative statement and my only frame of reference is a garmin 300T. The other thing I like over my previous is that input is with a qwerty layout, as opposed to an ABCD etc layout.
Initially, I am very happy with my purchase.

Ice cream, cotton candy and slime are just some of the items that will be prepared from scratch during the next CU Wizards show "Chemistry in the Kitchen" on Saturday, Nov. 25, at 9:30 a.m. in Cristol Chemistry and Biochemistry room 140.
University of Colorado at Boulder faculty members Janet deGrazia and Gordon Yee will explore kitchens and their connection to chemistry, including how common foods can be used as universal indicators for acids and bases, and what happens when popcorn pops.
"We will be exploring how chemistry impacts things related to food, cooking and kitchens," said deGrazia, a senior instructor for the College of Engineering and Applied Science and director of outreach for CU-Boulders Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory.
The hour-long show will feature several experiments including an attempt to make butter and audience members making their own version of Play-Doh.
"Since safety is a huge part of both chemistry and kitchens, well discuss fire extinguishers and show the audience how they work," deGrazia said.
The CU Wizards series is an annual program that introduces the audience to astronomy, chemistry and physics and is geared toward students in grades five through nine.
Free parking for the Nov. 25 show is available only in these lots: lot 436, which is east of the Engineering Center; lot 065, which is on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Broadway; lot 308, which is south of Regent Drive and west of Kittredge Loop Road; lot 169, which is northeast of Folsom Stadium off Folsom Street; lot 378, which is just west of Franklin Field; and lot 396, which is off Stadium Drive. Certain parking spaces are reserved for permit holders at all times and those parked in these spots without permits will be towed.
Closer parking is in the Euclid Avenue Autopark for a nominal fee.
Anyone with a disability or special need should notify the physics office at (303) 492-6952 a few days prior to the show. For general information about the CU Wizards series call (303) 492-4318.

I'm an Evil Basterd

Baldur's Gate, as I mentioned when I set myself the challenge, is my Everest. It's the mountain I'm climbing to prove something to myself, namely that I have an attention span longer than – hey look, there's a squirrel outside!
I've not really blogged about my time with the game since then – and for those of you who are curious, I'm still in Baldur's Gate 1 and have completed all quests in the lower half of the world map. I'm a male, true neutral, half-elf conjurer called Jacob accompanied by Viconia, Imoen, Shar-teel, Jaheira and Khalid. I was tempted to go with a full-on, all woman band of adventurers, but I always had a soft spot for Khalid.
More to the point, I had a really horrible experience with the game yesterday.

ST. PETERSBURG — For the past three seasons, Northside Christian has had winning records and advanced to the playoffs. But the Mustangs also have had premature exits, losing in the first round each time.
So to finally fill in the blanks on a glittering resume that lacked playoff glory, Northside Christian had to get past Fort Myers Canterbury.
The Mustangs got off to a quick start Thursday and held on for a 46-31 victory in a Class 2A region quarterfinal. It was the first postseason win for Northside coach D.J. Jackson.
"We've stayed with teams in the past in the playoffs, but we had some injuries or other things happen and were not able to get it done," Jackson said. "I'm glad we finally got over that hump."
The Mustangs (24-4) jumped to an 8-0 lead to start the game and were up 16-6 at the end of the first quarter. Still, Northside had trouble pulling away until midway through the third.
"Sometimes, we take a while to get going," Jackson said. "We seem to find a way to let other teams stay in the game at times. Canterbury is scrappy, and we had to play 32 minutes."
By converting turnovers into points, the Mustangs led 46-25 with two minutes remaining. Jackson put in some reserves, and Canterbury scored the last six points on layups. Haley Gossard and Deja Swinton each scored 12 points to lead Northside to its 16th straight win.
The Mustangs will play at Community School of Naples, which advanced to the state final four last season and beat Canterbury by 40 in the district final.
"It'll be a tough game against Community School," Jackson said. "But we're looking forward to it."

Wendy Rogers Calls for Insurance Companies to Get Free Rein Over Your Health Care
As Americans are finding more affordable health insurance options—for the first time ever, in many instances—Congressional candidate Wendy Rogers wants to pull the rug out from consumers and give insurance companies free rein to raise rates and deny care. Rogers is persisting with this reckless push even after Republicans in Congress forced the shutdown of the government in yet another attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
"No matter how many times her Tea Party allies have tried and failed before, Wendy Rogers is hell-bent on undoing needed reforms and giving insurance companies free rein over health care," said Matt Inzeo of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "While Arizonans want their leaders to solve problems, Wendy Rogers continues with the same reckless agenda that Tea Party Congressmen pushed as they shut down the government earlier this month."
Republicans Shutdown the Government for Sixteen Days in an Attempt to Kill the Affordable Care Act. "Congressional Republicans conceded defeat on Wednesday in their bitter budget fight with President Obama over the new health care law as the House and Senate approved last-minute legislation ending a disruptive 16-day government shutdown and extending federal borrowing power to avert a financial default with potentially worldwide economic repercussions." [New York Times, 10/17/13]

|Cost :
|£10? xD I only had to buy the waistcoat and the gloves!!?
|Time Taken :
|It was a last minute change about a week before the con, so basically I just had to buy a few bits :3
>__>;; A week before Expo, my Angel Beats! group decided we should probably leave it for another time. I hadn't done my blazer, Pip's wig needed sorting and Tash's needed taking in... So I decided to join in with Ruth and Grace's Hellsingness!! Ruth was debuting AluPuppy, her Hellhound!Alucard quadsuit, and Grace her amazing Seras Victoria cosplay complete with bigass sexy Harkonen. I had planned on being The Captain for the Hellsing group, but since it was such short notice, closet cosplay Young Walter came to be♥
I already had the wig, shirt, trousers and shoes... I bought some cheep cloves and added grey leather pieces, and stole ireland's fake cigarette xD There were dramas though. I ordered a waistcoat, which still hadn't arrived 2 days before expo, so I went to Primark and bought a cheep one from there (there was a suprising lack of waistcoats!! I had to get one a size too big D8). The next day, the day before expo, my waistcoat arrives... Only it's not a waistcoat, it's an apron .__.;; Seriously. Lucky I had my backup;; Ahh, and the razor wire is actually dental floss bought from a service station on the way :B PREPARE FOR YOUR MINTY FRESH DEMISE!!
I actually had more fun than I though I would in this; prancing about, acting camp and generally being stupid xD It was really comfortable too 8D I can't wait to re-wear it for telford expo♥ I hope we can get some cool shots :3
You NEED pics up of this! im a huge hellsing cosplayer! and judging by the icon you looked rad!

|On Aug 1 I was requested to respond with two other K9 teams to assist the Searcy County Sheriffs office with a on-going search for two missing teenagers. They had been missing for 5 days from a residence just outside of Marshall AR. and were suspected of being in the area and possibly injured. We responded with two tracking teams and our Area Search team. We were asisted by the ESAR team from Little Rock. Our K9 teams where tasked with clearing wilderness areas around the residence. After we did coordinated searches of that area it was given an "All Clear" and then we were sent to search specific areas by a nearby river and campsites. We also cleared those areas and informed the on-scene incident commander of the negitive find. Due to our report the active ground and air search was suspended. The next day the two missing persons where discovered at some relatives home and all SAR missions were terminated. Our K9 units were praised for the professional response and abilities by the Searcy County Sheriffs office, local SAR team members.

The Breaking Point HTML version
Chapter 14
JUST how Leslie Ward had drifted into his innocuous affair with the star of "The
Valley" he was not certain himself. Innocuous it certainly was. Afterwards, looking
back, he was to wonder sometimes if it had not been precisely for the purpose it
served. But that was long months after. Not until the pattern was completed and
he was able to recognize his own work in it.
The truth was that he was not too happy at home. Nina's smart little house on the
Ridgely Road had at first kept her busy. She had spent unlimited time with
decorators, had studied and rejected innumerable water-color sketches of
interiors, had haunted auction rooms and bid recklessly on things she felt at the
moment she could not do without, later on to have to wheedle Leslie into
straightening her bank balance. Thought, too, and considerable energy had gone
into training and outfitting her servants, and still more into inducing them to wear
the expensive uniforms and livery she provided.
But what she made, so successfully, was a house rather than a home. There
were times, indeed, when Leslie began to feel that it was not even a house, but a
small hotel. They almost never dined alone, and when they did Nina would
explain that everybody was tied up. Then, after dinner, restlessness would seize
her, and she would want to run in to the theater, or to make a call. If he refused,
she nursed a grievance all evening.
And he did not like her friends. Things came to a point where, when he knew one
of the gay evenings was on, he would stay in town, playing billiards at his club, or
occasionally wandering into a theater, where he stood or sat at the back of the
house and watched the play with cynical, discontented eyes.
The casual meeting with Gregory and the introduction to his sister brought a new
interest. Perhaps the very novelty was what first attracted him, the oddity of
feeling that he was on terms of friendship, for it amounted to that with surprising
quickness, with a famous woman, whose face smiled out at him from his morning
paper or, huge and shockingly colored, from the sheets on the bill boards.
He formed the habit of calling on her in the afternoons at her hotel, and he saw
that she liked it. It was often lonely, she explained. He sent her flowers and
cigarettes, and he found her poised and restful, and sometimes, when she was
off guard, with the lines of old suffering in her face.
She sat still. She didn't fidget, as Nina did. She listened, too. She was not as
beautiful as she appeared on the stage, but she was attractive, and he stilled his
conscience with the knowledge that she placed no undue emphasis on his visits.
In her world men came and went, brought or sent small tribute, and she was
pleased and grateful. No more. The next week, or the week after, and other men
in other places would be doing the same things.
