Henry Von Ofterdingen: A Novel (1802)
by Novalis
Books Read in 2016 (540)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The unfinished novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen is Novalis's best-known prose work. He only completed about half of it before his death, but it was intended as the first in a series of at least six major novels in which he would deal in turn with all the arts and sciences.
This first novel in the series deals with the most important art, poetry (i.e. "literature" in modern terms). It is set out as a classic Bildungsroman, a response to Goethe's Wilhelm Meister, dealing with the poetic education of the eponymous hero, the legendary 13th century poet who figures in the story of the Sängerkrieg at the Wartburg, and was sometimes credited with being the author of the Nibelungenlied, but is now generally considered to have been a fictional character.
In any case, Novalis doesn't pretend to be writing a realistic historical novel. Heinrich is moved to become a poet as a result of a dream in which he sees a mysterious, beautiful and unattainable blue flower, and he completes his poetic education in a series of encounters in the course of a journey from Eisenach to Augsburg and a one-day poetry workshop in Augsburg with the ubiquitous and equally legendary Klingsohr. During the coffee-breaks he meets, falls in love with and marries Klingsohr's daughter, Mathilde, who is identified with the blue flower image. Unfortunately, she has a child and dies offstage whilst we are busy with an allegorical story-within-a-story, and as Part Two opens, Heinrich is off on his travels again as a journeyman poet. And that's about as far as Novalis got.
Most of the text is taken up by the interpolated stories, songs and poems that Heinrich picks up in the course of his travels, and the foreground narrative consists of little more than short bridging passages. It's a book to read as a linked short-story collection, really, and each story adds a dimension to Novalis's vision of what literature should be and from where the poet needs to approach it. It's interesting to see how this isn't just a simple attack on the rationalism of the previous century, as we might expect, but a more complex invitation to the potential poet to study and learn as much as he can about the physical world, whilst being open to emotional and metaphysical ways of understanding and reacting to it.
Very interesting, and often also very entertaining (the first lesson Heinrich learns from his fellow travellers on the road to Augsburg is that the poet must be an entertainer), but what strikes you continually as a modern reader is how self-centred, even solipsistic, it all is. The poet isn't really meant to be interested in anyone except himself and his literary predecessors, with the possible exception of his love-object (who is anyway just a blank screen onto which the poet projects his idea of what a love-object should be).
The most important novel of the early German Romanticism. Still readable today? Yes! – if you are able to forget for a couple of hours your mobile and everything of our engineered planet. Novalis introduced the symbol « Blaue Blume » to his oeuvre, a metaphor for the pursuit of self-knowledge. This coming-of-age novel may teach us, that nobody needs the help of a guru towards the inner world. And that this world is the only real one.
I have been curious about Novalis for about 40 years and tried reading something of hi out of Yale library about that long ago, but never got back to it., so this is my chance

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0881335746, Paperback)A strange, ingenious novel, the most representative work of early German Romanticism! This extraordinary fusion of novel, fairy tale, and poem, published posthumously in 1802, is the most representative work of early German Romanticism. It reflects, in part, events in the life of its author, who is best known for his Hymns to the Night. Young Henry, a medieval poet who seeks the mysterious Blue Flower with the lovely face of the yet unknown Mathilda, sets out on a journey that is interspersed with beautiful tales and exquisite songs. Henry's "education," as he catches first glimpses of the world, is of special interest to students of philosophy as well as literature, for ingeniously involved in literary form is the crux of Fichte's mysticism. Novalis, like Rouseeau, makes an interesting contribution to the "supreme realism" that transcends the ordinary. Henry von Ofterdingen is an important landmark in the history of literature and the most distinguished work of its brilliant and tragic author.

Well, you apparently have neighbors who are into the drug culture. What's new?
If you in fact have smelled pot smoke, then at the very least, they are users.
People who use illegal drugs are at risk for trouble to befall upon them in one form or another.
I don't care how people live their lives as long as it doesn't affect me. I have neighbors on both sides of me and across the street who are into the drug culture. One neighbor is wearing an ankle bracelet as I type this.
I give them a wide berth and they do the same with me. They know I work in EMS and don't hassle me. They do not know I am a tactical medic on the county SRT team. I don't treat them any different as anyone else. Our LEO's know who they are so they don't need me attempting to perform any enforcement on them and I don't bother. Yes, I have had on duty LEO's call me and say, keep an eye out if a certain car stops by at so and so's house and call me if you see it. No prob. But, I have to live next to these people and I do my best not to create problems for me. The LEO's know this as well and do what they can not to create waves for me from these people either.
It's always a cat and mouse game with druggies. For the most part my neighbors keep to them self, however a couple of them do deal and we are pretty sure at least one of the houses cook meth. The cops keep a watchful eye, and I keep a watchful eye. The drug task force has had them on their list for a while and do what they can to make cases. Like I said, one is wearing an ankle bracelet right now because he is on house arrest. I have been told he did make a sale to one of the UC officers of the task force, so in the long run, he may end up doing some time. But then again, maybe he won't. The judicial system is what it is and plea's are made and probation is dolled out like candy in a parade, so it remains to be seen what ends up happening.
So, to answer your question...Just what exactly are you going to tell them which may be useful? Did you actually see anything? Unless you can provide any specific details as to who broke in and what vehicle they were driving and what the license plate number is, just what else is going to be useful? Oh yeah officer, I smelled some pot coming from their house one time! Not exactly the crime of the century.Originally Posted by chains1240
My advice is to just be watchful and look after yourself and yours. I'd chalk the incident up as just finding out a little bit of "intel" regarding the type of people your neighbors are and keep that info to yourself and act accordingly with regards to your own safety.
I'm sure there are gonna be a lot of others who don't agree with that course of action, and that's cool.

The campaign from the Nestle-owned brand marks its first significant TV advertising since its Skater spot in 2009.
The campaign, called 'Bubblehoppers" is running across TV, radio and Facebook.
The advertising follows people in everyday situations who, once they bite into their Aero chocolate, are instantly pepped up and bouncing on bright green "'bubblehoppers" while passersby smile at the sight of them having an uplifting bubbly moment.
Gillian Clarke, brand manager for Aero, said: "The new strategy aims to prove that even the most ordinary of scenarios can be improved by adding uplifting bubbliness. The new advert captures Aero's playful, positive and infectious spirit, whilst demonstrating Aero's ability to have a noticeable, transformative effect on life and inject some light-hearted energy into it."
The advertising comes as the Nestle-owned brand looks to reverse declining sales.
According to Nielsen, in the year ending 2012 Aero reported falling sales of 1.4% to £78.6m in 2012, falling from 8th to 10th in the list of biggest selling chocolate confectionery brands.

My mind has always been a logical one. Throughout my childhood, I never "felt" God, despite always being certain of Him. I often prayed and asked God why this was the case. I worried that I was broken since I had never been miraculously healed of any malady or seen a burning bush. Why didn't I see angels like every missionary to Africa apparently does? I made many attempts to rationalize my "deficiency," such as telling myself that the Holy Spirit was for Apostles only and not for me.
Three things happened to change my mindset. The first was following a time I had spent praying. I had asked God to keep me healthy so that I could travel. (There are few things worse that flying with the flu, right?) I completed my trip without a sniffle and felt very grateful, but my reaction was more "thank goodness" than "thank God." In one instant it struck me that if I was asking God for things and He was providing them, why was I so ready to write it off to coincidence? In hindsight it was a trivial matter, but for the first time that day I took notice of the work God was doing in my life. Now, I am skeptical of coincidence and, boy, have I ever seen some miracles!
The second thing that changed me was my discovery of the Spirit-filled church. Through an inter-church young adult Bible study I learned what a fully-functioning community of believers should look like. I had never loved or been loved by brothers and sisters like that before. I discovered my gifts of teacher and exhorter and put them to use through Bible study leadership and mentoring (although, to be honest, I didn't view them as that - I simply thought I was doing what needed to be done in a way that I was good at). All of this set me on a road to seeking a deeper relationship with Christ, deeper knowledge of His way, and deeper commitment to His calling that continues today with a burning passion that is unlike any other fire inside me.
The third thing was time. Dramatic experiences aside, I have witnessed the subtlety of God's grace in my life so many times that I have started taking it for granted. My wife and I have always had "just enough," by the grace of God. I have succeeded in areas of challenge truly despite myself, by the grace of God. When I have failed, I have been given the strength to stand back up, by the grace of God. Most important, Jesus has saved me, by the grace of God! More than any miracle or gift, it is God's grace that has convinced me of what Jesus said in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Dogfish Head Brewery from Delaware has announced they will be recreating the original recipe of a 9,000 year old brew whose ingredients were deduced from pottery shards found in Northern China.
"University of Pennsylvania molecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern first described the beverage in 2005 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences based on chemical traces from pottery in the Neolithic village of Jiahu in Northern China. Soon after, McGovern called on Sam Calagione at the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, Del., to do the ancient recipe justice. Later this month, you can give it a try when a new batch hits shelves across the country. The Beer Babe blog was impressed, writing that it is "very smooth," and "not overly sweet."
They also have some other unique concoctions coming soon too.
Since visiting the Dogfish Head brewery in Rohobeth Beach, DE last year, Dogfish Head beers have become my favorite east coast based beers. I love tasting the array of brews they have to offer and it looks like we'll be getting a really unique beer from the past to try out. Maybe I can send the guys over at Diggnation a sample and perhaps they'll give MicrobeWorld a shout out on the show! lol

Arizona 49, Nevada 48: Matt Scott threw for two touchdowns in the final 42 seconds – including the go-ahead score with 19 seconds left – as the Wildcats overcame a huge fourth-quarter deficit to rally past the Wolf Pack in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
Scott passed for 369 yards and three touchdowns and added another score on the ground while Ka'Deem Carey – the country's top per-game rusher – ran for a game-high 171 yards and three TDs for Arizona (8-5), which overcame deficits of 21 points in the first half and 17 to start the fourth quarter to end its two-game bowl losing streak.
After Allen Hardison converted a short field goal with 1:48 remaining to give Nevada (7-6) a 48-35 lead, Scott needed just six plays and 66 seconds to lead his team 75 yards and cut the Wildcats' deficit to six on a two-yard slant pass to Austin Hill.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Wolf Pack's Duke Williams was unable to handle the onside kick by Arizona and Kylan Butler recovered the loose ball. With no timeouts left, Scott needed just three plays and 23 seconds to march the Wildcats 51 yards and give Arizona its only lead of the game.
Marquis Flowers intercepted Cody Fajardo's pass on Nevada's next offensive play, sealing an improbable win for the Wildcats.
Fajardo accounted for four touchdowns – three passing – while Stefphon Jefferson, the second-leading per-game rusher in the nation, ran for 164 yards and two scores for the Wolf Pack.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Nevada coach Chris Ault was denied his 235th career win, leaving him in a second-place tie with Texas' Mack Brown among active coaches behind only Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer. … The teams combined for 70 first downs and 1,234 yards for the game, including 721 yards on 102 plays in the first half alone. … Frustration boiled over on the Arizona sideline in between the first and second quarters as teammates NT Tevin Hood and LB Cody Ippolito threw punches at each other on the sideline after the Wildcats fell behind by 21 points.

How can I get more information so I can do this with my son?
I have read this book cover to cover several times. I got it because our pediatrician recommended it. My children are not overweight but I was looking for a good way to teach them healthy eating habits without making them afraid of food and without giving them any weird food complexes. I don't totally love this book or agree with it all, but I did get enough from it that I would reommend it if you are looking for a way to empower your children when they are making food choices. LIke I said, I didn't love everything in this book but it did have a lot of ideas that have been good and valuable in our home.

I've been facing a very boring problem since I decided to use TV Output function on my IPod Classic 160Gb. The firmware is 2.0.4.
At first, I've bought a "generic" cable and only sound worked. After searching for a while on the web, I found out that it woul be better to use a Apple original cable. So... done! I bought it!
Unfortunatelly nothing happenned and my iPod keep showing the message "Connect video accessory" when trying to output a video. I've searched a lot the web with no success, besides I tried more than one TV and video files.
I'm really desperate and don't know what to do. Does anyone have any idea how to deal with this problem?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Query about using FindRoot on function defined via Module
I have defined a function F[x,y,z,u,v,w] by setting
F[x_,y_,z_,u_,v_,w_] := a Module expression.
Within the Module, several of the inputs are used as parameters in a
repeated NDSolve command.
I would like to fix y, z, u,v, and w, and find the first zero of
the resulting function of x alone. I assign values to y, z, u, v, and
w, and type
FindRoot[ F[x,y,z,u,v,w] , {x,y} ]
The failure notification that I get indicates that NDSolve is cannot
operate because x is not a number. I was under the impression that
FindRoot would first evaluate F[y,y,z,u,v,w], where y, z, u, v, and w
have already been assigned values. That must not be happening.
Does anyone know how I must modify my use of FindRoot to get
NDSolve to run inside the Module expression?
Thank you for your attention.

Melnyk Racing Stable's grade I winner Host, beaten by a half-length when second in last year's $100,000 Appleton Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Gulfstream Park, gets another chance in Saturday's renewal of the one-mile turf course test.Jockey John Velazquez will be aboard the 6-year-old Chilean bred Host for trainer Todd Pletcher in the field of 10 older horses. Host will be making his return to turf after an unfortunate try on the main track in the Cigar Mile (gr. I) at Aqueduct in late November, finishing a dull ninth behind Pletcher-trained stablemate Purge.Prior to the Cigar Mile, Host made three starts on turf last season, beginning with his good effort in the Appleton behind Mr. Light. But he required ankle surgery for bone chips shortly thereafter. The son of Hussonet came back to the races in the fall in top form, winning the $600,00 Shadwell Turf Mile (gr. IT) at Keeneland Oct. 8.That performance earned Host a chance in the $1.5 million NetJets Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) at Belmont Park three weeks later, but he had a troubled trip to finish seventh under jockey Rafael Bejarano, although beaten only three lengths for it all. Those efforts make Host the class of Saturday's field, but he faces a number of accomplished rivals, including Gainsborough Farm's L'Oiseau d'Argent, with Mark Guidry in the saddle, and Live Oak Plantation's Old Forester, to be ridden by Brice Blanc.L'Oiseau d'Argent is a veteran 7-year-old gelding trained by Kiaran McLaughlin. The chestnut son of Silver Hawk makes his first start since an unfortunate foray to Woodbine in October, when he finished last of 12 on a 'yielding' course in the Nearctic Handicap (Can-II) at six furlongs.
Old Forester makes his first appearance since losing a nose decision in a tough Churchill Downs allowance test Nov. 2. Trained by Bill Mott, the 5-year-old chestnut horse by Forestry showed a fondness for the new turf course at Gulfstream last season, finishing a good second in an allowance and winning the Canadian Turf Handicap.If wet weather comes into play on Saturday's program, trainer Shug McGaughey will want to run Phipps Stable's 5-year-old homebred Happy Hunting on the main track if the race is forced off grass. The son of Seeking the Gold is on a four-race win streak at Keeneland and Aqueduct. Edgar Prado would get the call.$100,000 Appleton Handicap (gr. IIIT, Race 10, 5:16 p.m.), 3 & up, 1 mile (turf)

We are proud to announce an easy solution to your production recycling needs! Here at Fini!, we are familiar with the post production pileup of goods and merchandise that can be donated, as well as the lack of time available to make those donations. We want to make it easy for hardworking production folks to donate non-perishable goods and get them to the organizations that need them most. Whether your production is a commercial advertising shoot, still, motion, or film, we want to make more donations and less waste the new norm. Fini! is a small not-for-profit organization made up of industry professionals who want to encourage ethical productions and give everyone the tools to do so.
We look forward to helping you help our community!
"Just donate it!" This is what production usually hears at the end of a shoot. Without an organized solution for donating, things don't always get to a place where they could help someone. Some how the need and the ability to offer a service made sense...and I set out to start an organization to connect the dots. Together with my awesome community of like-minded individuals, Fini! has begun.Monica Zaffarano, producer and FINI! founder
I've always hated wastefulness and I'm very excited that FINI! will help turn our "waste" into something positive and useful to others, without being a burden on a production.Mele Ortiz, stylist
Having been an art buyer, producer and studio manager over the last 10 years, I have seen first hand, the "leftovers" from a production and how they, heartbreakingly, have usually gone to the dumpsters as an easier solution for disposing. I am so happy to see that FINI! is a new solution to saving and recycling these leftovers. Chicago production personnel should be thrilled with this new service and I hope everyone will step up to support the services that FINI! is offering.Kimber Leigh Nussbaum, freelance art buyer + producer

Astray (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Emma Donoghue
Work details
Astray by Emma Donoghue (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wonderful stories set in the United States and Canada from the Colonial period through the 1960s, many inspired by actual historical events, letters, or other archival materials. Donoghue's essay at the end about immigration and migration is warm and thoughful. Very satisfying.
Fascinating brief stories based in history, each followed by a brief explication by Donoghue wherein the author details the microform or print article she found that germinated the notion for the story. The opener is about a famous elephant that Barnum & Bailey bought from a London entertainment park; another features an unhappy slave-owner's fie and the slave who together absconded; a third tale was invented but inspired by the Klondike Gold Rush. Maybe my favourite story featured the two lady sculptors who created the huge lion feature on Queen Elizabeth Way for the royal visit of 1967 (now relocated to Sir Cazimir Gzowski Park in Toronto), now seen in an old folks' home after 60 "Sapphist" years spent together; Frances "Queenie" Loring has become senile with brief flashes, while Florence Wyle hung on to her memories for another year or so. Emma Donoghue hails from Ireland, achieved a PhD in English at Oxford at a young age; she now lives in Ontario. My only complaint is that this "1st Canadian ed." is in American english. Authors need to protest. Publishers need to show respect. Quite possibly the author didn't care, but she is Irish (Dublin 1969, and Oxford-educated). By contrast, Ian McEwen's Atonement, published by Knopf, retains its British spelling.
Quote: p. 250 "Queenie's a vast model for a monument--all two hundred pounds of her clay slapped onto a gigantic wire armature--and as for me, I'm some skinny leftover. Maybe I'm a Giacometti and she's a Henry Moore!"
Astray is collection of short stories that have the common theme of individuals emigrating from one life to another. It is divided up into stories labeled as "Departures," "In Transit," and "Arrivals and Aftermaths." All of the stories are historical fiction ranging from 1639 through 1967 that are inspired from real historical records. Some are about real historical people and others are based on a sentence in a newspaper. I enjoyed most of the stories. They show snippets of the history of North America (most of the stories take place in the United States and Canada; those that do not have characters that are departing for North America). I also liked how Donoghue described the historical person or document that inspired each story. Those based on real people often included a description of what happened to that person later in life. I would recommend this collection to those that enjoy short stories and historical fiction - especially historical fiction set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in North America.
Not being a huge short story fan I started this book with a little bit of trepidation, especially after having loved "Room" so much. But, despite the format, I enjoyed this book very much. Each story is a vignette taken from history, a newspaper article, a well known legend or a footnote from another source and Ms. Donoghue brings the characters to life. Taking the reader on a trip through different time periods and across North America we get a little taste of everything; love, crime, despair, happiness, laughter and tears. Whether writing with humour, drama or poignancy Ms. Donoghue does it extremely well.
When I was deciding whether or not to pick up this book I read some on line reviews where one reviewer suggested reading the "afterword" first. I didn't do that but I agree with that reviewer, I wish I had. If you read this all in one sitting or if you read it in bits and pieces between other books it is definitely a book you will want to pick up.
An interesting set of short stories, each based on some historical events from about a century or two ago. Many were depressing, but quite realistic. I almost gave this 3 stars because the main points are not really to my taste, but her writing is quite good & the historical points are excellent. That made it worth listening too for me.
I listened to this because I've heard a lot of good things about a novel of hers, but didn't think her style would suit me. I'm more convinced of that. Plot points she finds interesting tend to bore me, so I don't think I'll read the novel, but am very glad I listened to this.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316206296, Hardcover)The fascinating characters that roam across the pages of Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray: they are emigrants, runaways, drifters, lovers old and new. They are gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross other borders too: those of race, law, sex, and sanity. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress.
With rich historical detail, the celebrated author of Room takes us from puritan Massachusetts to revolutionary New Jersey, antebellum Louisiana to the Toronto highway, lighting up four centuries of wanderings that have profound echoes in the present. Astray offers us a surprising and moving history for restless times.

I love my XTS but the maps/street detail on the maps is really poor. In fact the detail on my friends 3 year old Escalade is far better.

Al Simmons enters his 29th season in the coaching profession in 2014, and his third as co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Colorado State. Head Coach Jim McElwain made Simmons part of his inaugural Rams staff on Feb. 16, 2012.
Together with Marty English, Simmons coordinates the CSU defense with primary emphasis on the secondary. The pair led a defense that in 2013 ranked fourth in the Mountain West in scoring defense (29.8). Simmons' defensive secondary has been a young, developing unit in his two seasons with the Rams, as just 14 of the 112 player starts have been made by seniors. The Rams will have their most experienced secondary of the McElwain era in 2014, coupled with an infusion of young talent as well.
Overall the Simmons-English defense ranked third in the MW and 30th in D1 FBS in rushing defense in 2013 (140.6) and No. 4 (No. 46 FBS) in sacks (2.3 per game). Three CSU defenders earned All-MW recognition, inlcuding MW Defensive Player of the Year and first-teamer Shaquil Barrett. Cornerback Shaq Bell was named to the second team while linebacker Max Morgan earned honorable mention.
In his first season at Colorado State the Rams ranked fourth in the Mountain West in passing yards allowed (203.2). The Rams' defense produced three players who earned All-Mountain West honors, including second-team defensive end selection Lanston Tanyi. Barrett and Bell received honorable mention, while LB Cory James was named to Phil Steele's national All-Freshman second team. James set a Colorado State freshman record with 7.5 sacks in 2012.
Simmons came to Fort Collins from UTEP, where he'd served under Mike Price for one season (2011) as safeties coach. While still in the Mountain Time Zone, El Paso represented the Eastern-most stop in his impressive college coaching career.
For all or parts of six seasons, Simmons has coached at the NFL level, including two years (2003-04) as a full-time assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers. Simmons also has assisted NFL staffs during training camp on four occasions, with the Los Angeles Raiders (1993), Arizona Cardinals (1996), San Diego Chargers (1999) and Dallas Cowboys (2000).
Prior to his year in Conference USA, Simmons spent three seasons (2008-10) on Jeff Tedford's staff at Cal, coaching the Golden Bears' defensive backs. During that period, his second stint at Cal, Simmons helped Syd'Quan Thompson, Denver's seventh-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, to All-America recognition in both 2008 and '09. The Bears, who picked off just 10 passes the year before Simmons' arrival, improved their interception total to 24, which led the Pac-10 and ranked third in the nation. Cal in the season after adding Simmons also improved its total defense from 378.8 yards/game in 2007 to 315.2, and its pass defense from 214.4 in 2007 to 193.0 in 2008. In his last season on staff, 2010, Simmons helped Cal lead the conference in total defense, thanks in large part to the play of S Chris Conte, the Chicago Bears' third-round selection in the 2011 NFL Draft.
In two seasons at Arizona State (2006-07), Simmons worked under two head coaches, Dirk Koetter and Dennis Erickson. His Sun Devil pupils included Justin Tryon, a first-team all-Pac-10 selection and fourth-round draft selection who played for the Super Bowl-champion New York Giants in 2011, and Freshman All-American Omar Bolden, a 2012 fourth-round draft choice of the Denver Broncos. As co-special teams coordinator, Simmons developed 2007 Lou Groza Award winner Thomas Weber, who was in training camp with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011 and '12.
Simmons spent one season (2005) as Dick Tomey's cornerbacks coach at San Jose State, after two years on Erickson's 49ers staff in San Francisco, where Simmons coached the cornerbacks in 2003 and the overall secondary in 2004.
He got back into the NFL after two years (2001-02) as Oregon State's defensive backs coach, where he coached All-American Dennis Weathersby, the victim of a random act of violence days before the 2003 NFL Draft,who wasstill selected by Cincinnati in the fourth round. Weathersby left the Beavers as the program's all-time leader in passes defensed.
Simmons' first term with Cal, and first experience in the Pac-10, was 1998-2000, when he served as the Golden Bears' cornerbacks coach. His top protégé at Cal was Deltha O'Neal, the No. 1 cornerback selected in the 2000 NFL Draft, 15th overall in 2000, by the Denver Broncos. He also tutored All-American punter Nick Harris, Denver's fourth-round choice in the 2001 draft, and a longtime NFL veteran.
He earned the jump to Cal after serving as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Idaho State in 1997.
Before that, Simmons coached for two years (1995-96) under Cliff Hysell at Montana State, as defensive backs coach. With the Bobcats, he first coached with McElwain, who at the time the offensive coordinator, and coached a pair of all-conference players, Omar Turner and Jared Lucero.
Including one campaign (1994) as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at San Francisco State, Simmons launched his coaching career where he grew up, in the Bay Area. Tim Tierney gave Simmons his first job, at Cal State Hayward as the defensive backs coach, a role he held for two seasons (1986-87). He earned additional duties as Hayward's defensive coordinator and held the reins of the defense from 1988-93.
An all-conference linebacker at Laney College (1981-82) and an all-league safety at Cal State Hayward (1983-84), Simmons grew up about 10 miles from the Oakland Coliseum, and graduated from Oakland High School.
Simmons owns two degrees, a bachelor's in business ('87) and a master's in athletic administration and sensory motor skills ('91), both from Cal State Hayward. He is single.

We now offer unrestricted control for caching MapBox Streets on mobile devices with the MapBox iOS SDK, supporting both app developers who want fine-grained control of app storage size and performance, as well as for users who want the optimum use of bandwidth and the best performance for the maps in an app. In short, you can cache MapBox Streets custom styled maps (see how to put these into your app in five minutes in our latest screencast) as much as you'd like, for as long as you'd like, which is unprecedented compared to the policies of other map providers.
This will be huge whether you run a check-in service where users most often use maps around their home city, a role-playing game where you are defending your local turf, or a travel app where you want to select a region and take the map offline. This is all part of our larger platform push, supporting great developers by giving them total control of their maps.
Here's the relevant section of the terms of service:
Proxying and/or intermediate caching of MapBox Maps is prohibited. Mobile clients may cache MapBox Maps on consumer devices for offline use and performance purposes. Further redistribution from a cache is prohibited.
How tiles are loaded
When a map view is shown and the user starts panning and zooming around to explore an area, the SDK requests the necessary tiles based on the layers that are shown. For example, maybe it's just MapBox Streets that's shown currently (check out how easy it is to get that in your app). The
RMMapBoxSource tile source checks its local cache of tiles before ever trying to request data over the network, so if a tile has been downloaded recently, it is instantly recalled and used to reload into the map.
How the tile cache works
By default, the Route-Me rendering engine that our SDK is built upon stores the 1,000 most recently downloaded tile images. Once more room is needed, the oldest tiles are deleted from cache. The developer can also remove all tiles whenever desired with
RMMapView's aptly-named
removeAllCachedImages method. But we've also added the capability to manage the tile cache based on length of time the tiles are in the cache.
For example, creating the
RMTileCache with an
expiryPeriod of 60 seconds/minute
x 60 minutes/hour
x 24 hours/day
x 7 days
= 604,800 will cause tiles to stay in the cache no longer than a week, without regard to the number of tiles, before the SDK will automatically delete the older tiles to keep things tidy.
Many potential uses
Allowing the developer this kind of control, as well as specifically enforcing it in our terms of service, really changes the traditional power balance in this type of scenario. The developer has complete control over giving their users offline capabilities, as well as refreshing map styles based on changes by the developer whenever they want, either with app updates or based on time constraints. The power really is in the developer's hands.

Is my Torque Converter too big for my setup ??
I have a Hughes 4,000 stall for my engine setup .. The camshaft and intake power band are both rated to work at 3,000 rpms - 7,000 rpms .. MY car weighs 3,400 lbs with me in it .. I called different Torque Converter companys and gave them my setup when i was first looking for a torque converter and they all recommended a 4,000 stall converter .. So i went with a 4,000 stall .. Since my engine setup is built to make power starting at 3,000 rpms would it of made sense to go with a 3,000 stall or a 3,500 stall ???? Is my stall too big for my setup ???
What do i risk breaking if my stall is too big ??? My tranny is pretty much bullet proof so im not concerned about breaking it ... Is there anything else that might break because of the stall being too big ??? Or sholud it be fine and just get out of the hole a little harder ??
Actually my intake is rated at 2800rpms - 8,000 rpms ... My cam is rated at 3,000 rpms to 8,000 rpms ..

If you give us every little detail about the engine and car. I mean everything. We could make an educated/experienced guess on the converter.
Here you go ...
The motor is a 468 BBC
Trans is a Turbo 400
Stall is a Hughes 4,000
I havent made up my mind on the intake yet .. It will either be the tunnel ram with 2 Holley 660's or the Victor Jr. with a 1050 dominator ..
Heads are open chamber GM 990 rectangular port with 2.25'' Int / 1.88'' Exh Valves ..
Heads have had alot of porting done ..
12 to 1 Forged Speed Pro pistons
Block was 0 decked and heads have been milled some so im guessing my compression is close to 13 to 1
Cam is a Crower Solid Roller 260/270 @.050--- 651/677 lift
Crower solid roller lifters
5140 forged steel nitrid GM crank
1.7 Harlan Sharp Roller Rockers..
Lunati H Beam forged aluminuim rods
Rear end is a 31 spline 9 inch with 4.11 gears
Headers are Hedman ceramic coated 2 inch
Suspension Mods ..
Car has Caltracs slapper bars
Car has all new polyurethane bushings and body mounts
Competition engineering weld in sub frame connectors
New multi leaf springs..
Big block springs up front it
Competition Engineering ADJUSTABLE DRAG SHOCKS
Wheels and tires ..

It should FLY!!! From my past experience you will not like the 660 Holley t-ram carbs.. Idle circuits cause lots of load up problems.. Used to be able to tell what carbs were on a Rat motor just by the way they sounded in the pits.. Go to the 750 t-ram carbs, similar to the 4779 but short bowls. Cleans up the low rpm problem and makes great upper rpm horsepower. I tried the Dominator also.. Worked great. But I didn't have the good manifolds back then.. Edelbrock C-454 and Offy 4500 series..
So even though my power band starts at around 3,000 rpms, it wont hurt anything that my stall is at 4,000 rpms ??? I dont risk breaking anything because of that ???
Also you dont think that two holley 750 dp's would be too much carb for the motor ??? I was thinking of going with two 650 dp's .. Or chunk the tunnel ram and go with a Victor Jr. 454 R with a 1050 dominator .. I really want to keep the tunnel ram, but i dont know if i will be able to tune them and make them work together properly ...
Me personally, I would step the induction down a notch, and get a single carb intake, and a 850 vacuum secondary. And take the stall way down. This way you can really take advantage of your displacement and use up some low rpm torque.
This is going to be a street car right?
NO this will be a 90% strip car and i think an 850 cfm would be way too small for my setup ..

Sounds like all bases are covered. What about your driveshaft and u-joints. Make em stout to handle the power.
So its not a problem that my power band starts at 3,000 rpms and my stall at 4,000 rpms ?? That will not hurt anything ???
Yeah i already had a custom aluminum drive shaft built, and have replaced the U-joints ..
I can say I am not sure. Seems as though everyone has batted around your question. I really can not tell ya,as I have only ran one car with stall and it was all street. Sorry man,someone will catch it and give ya a straight out answer.Try posting the same in the trans. forum,might get a bite real quick bud.
You will be just fine with the 4000 convertor. You will be in the power band when the car launches. No bog off the line problem..
About the 750's, I thought they would be too much also, but they worked great. I had a setup similar to yours. A bit more gear. 2 1/8" Hookers. Steel rods. The motor never suffered from any over carb symptoms. Always ran clean and great top end..
The 4000 stall should be about perfect. With a cam of that size, and rectangular port heads on a 468, you will be making most of your power up high. I also agree that a single plane intake and something in the range of a 1000cfm carb would be the right setup.
Bringing history and technology together.
Thanks for the responses .. I guess i'll just have to wait and see how it works out .. Hopefully i wont break anything lol !! What do u normally risk breaking if your stall is too big for your power band ?? Besides the tranny ...
I don't think you really risk breaking anything that you wouldent have broken with a slightly smaller stall. A bigger stall will allow for more hp and torque to hit the wheels off the line, which puts more stress on everything, but thats just because you are putting more power down. I would say that is a good thing.

That meant the Triple-A Redbirds were two players over the 25-man roster limit. The two leaving were recently-acquired minor league first basemen, added to help fill the gap indirectly created by all the injuries in St. Louis.
Aaron Bates has been released while Jamie Romak was reassigned to Double-A Springfield. Romak was acquired via trade on May 17 while Bates was signed as a free agent on May 22.
Bates, 28, just didn't cut it with the bat for Memphis. The right-handed hitter's line was just .164/.207/.218 in 55 at-bats over 21 games. Bates drove in just one run and struck out 17 times against three walks.
Romak, acquired from Kansas City, had numbers that were Tony Gwynn-like compared to Bates. The 26-year-old's Redbirds line was .277/.325/.366. The right-handed hitter drove in 12 in 112 at-bats over 31 Pacific Coast League contests. Romak had spent part of 2010 and all of last season with Northwest Arkansas and will now be opposing them as a member of Springfield.
The Double-A Cardinals are also welcoming back an old friend, right-handed pitcher Scott McGregor. Still just eight innings into his comeback from Tommy John surgery, McGregor is moving up from Palm Beach. The 25-year-old spent the second half of 2010 in the Texas League, where he posted a 3.46 ERA. McGregor was the organzation's 15th-round selection in the 2008 draft.
To make room for McGregor, Springfield returned infielder Vance Albitz to Palm Beach. The 24-year-old was 0-for-7 in his Double-A debut, but added three walks. Albitz had been called up on June 12.
Romak takes the place of outfielder Kyle Conley on Springfield's active roster. Conley has been placed on the disabled list retroactive to June 21 with plantar fasciitis. The 25-year-old has nine home runs and 30 RBI in 159 at-bats in 51 games in 2012, but a disappointing line of .226/.303/.357 in his fourth professional season.

"Let me explain," begins Hoddle.
"I don't want to hear your fucking explanations. I don't care what your reasons are. You are a fucking bastard."
Gazza kicks in the door of Hoddle's wardrobe, overturns a table, smashes a pottery vase, in the process cutting his own leg. So soon there is blood all over the room. He thinks about hitting Hoddle, but decides that he will smash in all the windows first. At that moment David Seaman and Paul Ince burst in, having heard all the noise. They call for the team doctor, who gives Gazza a valium to calm him down ...
Now then, that's the sort of inside scene we want to read in the ghosted autobiographies of our sports heroes. Good wholesome, believable stuff. Not like these piddling moans that the rugby union players Lawrence Dallaglio and Mike Catt have been coming out with this week in their serialised memoirs, suggesting that Brian Ashton, the England coach, was sometimes not quite spot on with his tactics. At least the moans in the memoirs of Duncan Fletcher, the former England cricket coach, include a few juicier stories.
Two points about that Gazza incident. First, the bad language. Ghosted football autobiographies have been appearing for about 80 years, but until very recently you couldn't use such fruity language, or reveal something awful about yourself, or other people. They were always bland and anodyne, with no opinions. About the most outspoken was Len Shackleton's book of 1955. Chapter nine was titled The average director's knowledge of football. It consisted of one page - totally empty.
Second, Gazza played fair, unlike Catt, Dallaglio and Fletcher, who so soon after the event are rubbishing colleagues. I was ghosting Gazza in 2004, six years after that incident took place. But Hoddle, the FB (ghosts don't swear), had put the boot in first, revealing in his own World Cup diary - published straight afterwards - that Gazza had trashed the manager's hotel room.
At the time Gazza didn't give his side of the story, waiting until long after Hoddle had ceased to be England's manager. Then he gave his own account, blood and all. Plus a great many other stories, some so appalling and sordid that even I said, steady on, old son, I think we'll have to water down that bit.
Usually, though, with all ghosted sports memoirs, the hack is desperately trying to drag out the stories, of any sort. What we dread is having to fill up the pages with blow by blow reports of games long dead. When I'm writing or reading football books the last thing I want is football - in the sense of match reports, unless they were absolutely vital and career threatening, such as the game in which Wayne Rooney did his metatarsal and a nation wept. It's the dramas of the dressing room, or training ground, we want to hear about.
I failed to get any decent stories out of Dwight Yorke, which was probably my fault as much as his, yet in football terms it was an incredible year when Manchester United won the treble. Yorke is intelligent and fluent, but what I didn't know until we were under way was that he is a very private person.
The vital thing a ghostwriter needs, more than their pots and medals, more even than their so-called celebrity, is a good talker, who enjoys telling stories, and is not ashamed or scared to reveal himself. And you need a rich life, with a variety of experiences, ups and downs.
Gazza has certainly had that.

While being able to get out them fast may seem like a good idea slip on boots are IMO a real no-no, now before I get clobbered here the key is "IMO". The reason I say this and the reason I quit wearing slip-ons years ago is that while they may come off quickly they are by design FAR more likely to catch a stray piece of hot material in the first place! The design of a slip-on boot necessitates that they have a much larger top opening for the hot material to fall into unlike a good lace-up which fits much tighter around your leg. Your pant legs should cover the tops of boots anyway but this is not always the case depending on what you may be doing at the time but the material can get in even if the boot is covered. In fact most cases of foot accidents I have seen (and experianced!
) the material entered higher up on the pants, sometimes well above the knee. In the nearly 40 years I have been doing this I have seen this happen many times and slip-on boots have made up by far most of the incidents. When I ran my shop I had strict safety rules which included welding quality clothing and steel toe boots but although I strongly recommended good lace-up boots I felt it better to let the employee decide since there can be some argument both ways. It all boils down to this-You can shed a slip-on faster but you are MUCH more likely to get hot material in a slip-on than in a properly worn lace-up and if you do you will still get burned before you can get the thing off. It should be the user's choice but I would not wear slip-ons to weld with, IMO it's far better to keep the hot material out than to be able to quickly shed a boot that caught material it should not have caught in the first place!

Unlike some folks, I don't think the Shield fits particularly well, or naturally in my hand. I think the factory sights are unexceptional. The balance is pretty good but I don't hear Frank Sinatra when I point it down range. So all in all, it's ok. However, it shoots like a crazy thing. I shoot it better than I can shoot. I tend to like this notion.
This weekend I was out shooting a mix of stuff with a couple of buddies. I think I was on the 3rd magazine with the Shield, had just fired the 2nd round, and the white dot on the front site was gone. So with reading glasses that are under powered and the front site dark, I still went on to shoot better than I can shoot. Now I can't decide if I should just put a drop of something bright in the hole or send the slide back to S&W for repair. It would be great if they said Hey Mr. Savage Heartland, sorry and all that, and here's your new Trijicons. Don't think so. But I might get a free mag out of the process.
Now that this one has moved from I like it ok to I guess I love it....what would you do? I'll swap the sights eventually but not in the next little while. Oh the decisions in a lifetime.

Structural health monitoring in Australia
Chan, Tommy H.T. & Thambiratnam, David P. (Eds.) (2011) Structural health monitoring in Australia. Nova Science Publishers, Hauppauge NY.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is defined as the use of on-structure sensing system to monitor the performance of the structure and evaluate its health state. Recent bridge failures, such as the collapses of the 1-35W Highway Bridge in USA, the collapse of the Can Tho Bridge in Vietnam and the Xijiang River Bridge in the Mainland China, all of which happened in the year 2007, have alerted the importance of structural health monitoring. This book presents a background of SHM technologies together with its latest development and successful applications. It is a book launched to celebrate the establishment of the Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring (ANSHM). The network comprising leading SHM experts in Australia promotes and advances SHM research, application, education and development in Australia.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.

MULTAN, Pakistan, Oct 26 (Reuters) Pakistan have recalled controversial fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar for the series-deciding one-day international against South Africa in Lahore on Monday.
Akhtar, who has completed a 13-match ban imposed on him by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), was drafted into the squad on Friday for the fifth and final one-dayer against South Africa and for next month's ODI series in India.
''He is now available for Pakistan and we have checked his fitness in a domestic match,'' chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed told reporters after South Africa won the fourth match in Multan by seven wickets to level the series 2-2.
''He remains a key player for us and will boost the pace attack for the Indian tour.'' Akhtar was sent home from the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in September after he struck fellow paceman Mohammad Asif with a bat during a brawl before the tournament started.
He was later banned for 13 matches and fined 3.4 million rupees (56,000 dollar) for four breaches of the code of conduct.
The board also put Akhtar on probation for two years which means if he is again found guilty of violating the PCB's code of conduct he could be banned for life.
Ahmed said the squad for the three tests in India would be named later.
''For the one-dayers we believe we have picked the most balanced outfit and the presence of Shoaib and Asif will make our bowling dependable,'' he said.
The selectors added Akhtar and all-rounder Fawad Alam to the squad of players who have featured against South Africa.
Pakistan will play India in five one-dayers starting on November 5 in Guwahati.
One-day squad: Shoaib Malik (captain), Shahid Afridi, Salman Butt, Imran Nazir, Yasir Hameed, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Fawad Alam, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Rao Iftikhar, Sohail Tanvir, Abdul Rehman.
