The Chevrolet Sequel Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Chapter 3 of GM's quest to 'reinvent the automobile' via hydrogen.
The Chevrolet Sequel converts hydrogen to electricity through the fuel-cell stack, producing no harmful emissions—just traces of steam from the tailpipe.
That's the sound General Motors is hoping you will begin hearing from some of their sedans and wagons by as early as 2010.
The crossover SUV emitting the aberrant din was the Chevrolet Sequel, third in a trilogy of hydrogen fuel-cell concept vehicles built on GM's radical "skateboard" chassis, named for what it resembles.
Now all of GM's wizardry has been fashioned into a contemporary styled vehicle that you can drive to the grocery store, commute to work in or take on a driving vacation. What is perhaps most amazing is the pace of changes in GM's fuel-cell technology and vehicles in a relatively short period of time.
Chapters One and Two
First came the AUTOnomy concept vehicle reveled at the North American International Auto Show in January 2002. Underneath the wildly-designed two-seater body, a fuel cell propulsion system and three hydrogen fuel tanks were packaged neatly in the 6-inch thick skateboard platform. Engineered as an all-wheel-drive vehicle with an electric motor in each wheel hub, acceleration, steering and braking were electric "by wire"—no direct mechanical or hydraulic connections.
With the ability to easily change bodies, Larry Burns, GM's global head of research and development, boldly proclaimed that the automaker was going to "reinvent the automobile" with the AUTOnomy's fuel cell powered skateboard chassis.
Nine months later at the Paris Auto Show, GM took the wraps off the Hy-Wire, a drivable "proof-of-concept" vehicle. Its clean, futuristic shape, wide opening doors (no center pillar) and the motorcycle-like X-Drive steering and braking controls combined to make the Hy-Wire a worldwide media star for several weeks. While the Hy-Wire validated that different bodies could be mated to the skateboard and a by wire controlled fuel cell vehicle was drivable, it wasn't quite an AUTOnomy: The skateboard grew in thickness to 11 inches (more weight) and the vehicle was powered by a single electric motor up front (no A-WD). However, it proved to be an excellent test bed for the next chapter, the Sequel.
Don't Judge a Book by its Cover
Compared to the daring design of the AUTOnomy and 21st century look of the HY-Wire, the Sequel is, well, rather pedestrian in appearance. But that's been the plan all along.
The first two vehicles were all about getting attention by shouting, "Look at us, we're the future!" The Sequel, on the other hand, quietly says, "The future is now."
Indeed, the test Sequel seemed so much like a regular car, you could drive off a Chevy dealer's lot today, even though it was a prototype—one of two in the world that provided a real-world driving experience for a variety of media and others.
Where to Test a $1 Million Car?
With each Sequel costing somewhere close to $1 million, where in the world could GM release a herd of journalists for real-world driving and minimize the risk in their investment?
The 126,000-acre Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base along the Pacific Ocean about an hour north of San Diego was the ideal location. There's little chance of encountering cell phone-distracted drivers (forbidden on the base) and sparse traffic—think the middle of Wyoming.
Plus, chiseled, stern looks by Marine gendarmes at the guard shack were unspoken warnings for journalists to obey the base speed limits. Or else.
The 25-mile test route didn't seem like much of an opportunity to evaluate a million dollar wonder car, but it turned out to be a good microscopic sample of everyday driving: A four-corner intersection with typical suburban strip malls; a school zone; and smooth asphalt roads with hills, curves and a couple of mile-plus straight stretches—places to risk an encounter with Marine MPs and hit 20 over the posted 50 mph limit?
Wow, 2,929 Pound-Feet of Torque!
For all its white-hot technology and huge development costs, there's an air of arrant normality about the way the Sequel drives. Select "DRIVE" from the control panel on the center console, tickle the throttle and the Sequel zips off the line with an unexpected eagerness which belies its 4,774 pound curb weight.
A look at some figures explains why acceleration is remarkably lively. The electric motor powering the front wheels produces 1,740 pounds feet of torque. Each of the motors in the rear wheels produce 590 lbs.-ft. for an astonishing combined total of 2,920 lbs.-ft. of torque—all of which is delivered instantly by this all-wheel drive system.
When accelerating, the slight whine of the electric motors continuously increases without interruption of transmission shifts. That's because there is no transmission, the Sequel incorporates a direct drive design. Accelerator pedal, brake pedal and steering all act and "feel" remarkably similar to a normal car-based SUV, but that feeling is artificial. GM engineers have programmed the by wire driving controls to simulate driving feedback. And, in fact, the feedback can be personalized to meet different drivers' preferences.
When I commented to my front seat passenger, Dr. Mohsen Shabana, chief engineer for the Sequel, that the brake pedal had a somewhat soft, mushy feeling, he changed it to a more positive touch in about ten seconds with a few keystrokes on a laptop.
The steering is nicely weighted, but feedback is fairly numb. Despite the lack of a mechanical link, the car heads immediately to where you point it, thanks in part to its four-wheel steering capability. Should the primary and redundant steering systems fail, the car reverts to a mechanical steering backup. Like its driving manners, the interior also conforms to what is expected in today's crossover SUVs. An easily operated controller for audio, air conditioning and navigation is located to the driver's right on the center console—no reaching to the dashboard.
Under-the-Hood Moves to Under-the-Floor
Sequel is configured with seating for two in the rear and the cargo area can easily accommodate luggage for a family of four.
Nearly everything that makes the Sequel operate is out of sight. "With the skateboard chassis, under-the-hood moves to under-the-floor," said Chris Borroni-Bird, design and technology director at GM's Fusion Group.
Since the purpose of the Sequel's program was to make a real car with real-world driving capabilities, Borroni-Bird said the engineering design began with the hydrogen storage tanks. The three carbon composite high-pressure tanks store 8Kg of hydrogen pressurized to 10,000 psi, giving the Sequel the targeted 300 mile driving range.
The hydrogen is directed to a fuel cell propulsion module that consists of the fuel-cell stack, hydrogen and air processing subsystem, cooling system, and the high-voltage distribution system. Located under the driver's feet, it produces and sends 73 kW to the electric traction motors, enough output to deliver a 0 to 60 mph time of 10 seconds—quicker than some minivans.
And regardless of how quickly the Sequel accelerates, or regardless if it cruises at the top speed of 90 mph for miles, the process of converting the hydrogen to electricity through the fuel cell stack produces no harmful emissions, just traces of steam from the tailpipe.
Completing the propulsion system is a rectangular 65 kW lithium-ion high power battery pack under the rear seat area. The rear wheel hub motors serve a dual role as generators, capturing energy through regenerative braking to recharge the battery pack in the same manner as a hybrid vehicle.
And under the hood—yes there is a conventional hood that opens—is the Sequel's air conditioning unit. Borroni-Bird said it is similar to a home window unit that is simply plugged in.
Although the Sequel did not undergo crash tests, Borroni-Bird says computer simulation was used to validate all Federal safety requirements.
Final Chapter Not Finished
Why does GM continue to pour money into a program that is estimated to have already cost more than a billion dollars?
In Burns's words, the automaker wants to "take the automobile out of the environmental debate," a mantra that he and others at GM have been repeating for nearly 10 years.
An assessment of the Sequel says it lives up to the bold proclamation of having the potential to change the automobile as we know it. So, when will a version arrive that will be competitive in price to that of a conventional vehicle? In an interview, Larry Burns said the company is still committed to having a production-ready fuel cell vehicle by the 2010-2011 time frame, but emphasized that a go-ahead production date has not been finalized. "We have to have some assurance that fueling stations are available in a critical enough density to make sense for our customers."
When asked what type of vehicle it would be, Burns hedged a bit. "We haven't made that decision yet, there are a lot of options in play. What we do know is we want it to be something that is family oriented, that is a mainstream car opposed to something that is extreme."
As for a vehicle like the Sequel with a skateboard chassis and by-wire controls? It appears that the final chapter of "reinventing the automobile" is still being written.

we have this family tradition of making ube (purple yam) every Christmas break. i am always assigned to help peel off its hard skin.
random ube fact: the whiter yams account for the final product's tendency to be more compact while the purple ones account for the deep purple color. we always hope to strike the balance in between those two awesome qualities, and thankfully so, we've learned how to throughout the years ! it was a little too sweet though. *thanks to my father's "senior" moments* lol.
it always takes time for the purple to wear off, especially from underneath my nails.. so much for a background story! haha.. anyway the purple in these studies also comes from the yams. i actually soaked the peelings in lukewarm water, drained, and then used the colored liquid to paint.
for the girl pic i used purple stamp pad ink to achieve the darker tones. it's quite interesting that when you apply the purple yam color on paper, it's reddish. all the reddish-ness disappears once the paper's dry.

Your due date has come and gone, there's no signs of labour, you're still pregnant! Here's what you need to know about going overdue – and how you might help bring on labour…
From very early pregnancy, your estimated due date (EDD) will have been marked in your calendar. Your baby's birth is a life-changing day, after all! But when your due date has passed and you're still pregnant, it can be disappointing and frustrating.
However, just because your pregnancy has gone past your due date doesn't mean you should panic. Only 4% of mums-to-be give birth on their actual due date, with the majority welcoming their babies up to 10 days after the b-day.
So why does this happen, what do you need to know about going overdue, how does labour start, and will you need to have labour induced?
When working out your estimated due date (EDD), your doctor does this on the idea that your baby was conceived two weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Nobody can truly predict the exact date when the conception took place, but with the average pregnancy lasting 266 days, this will be added to the two weeks to make a total of 280 days (40 weeks).
The only flaw, which may be why many women seem to go overdue, is that not all women have 28-day menstrual cycles, and you could conceive in months that have up to 31 days.
"A normal pregnancy is anything between 38-42 weeks," says midwife Sue Thompson. "So anything past 42 weeks is classed as overdue. That means many women will go anything up to two weeks over the day they've been given as their due date."
Even though you might think that it's your baby that kick starts the labour process, it is in fact your body that sends the signals. "Your baby is just sitting there waiting for a green light from you. Labour is actually initiated by a hormone sent from your nervous system to your baby," explains midwife Sue.
Although you're in control, you're also helpless in making the labour-triggering hormone appear! "There is no way of knowing what makes the brain tell the body to start labour. We have to wait for that hormone reaction to trigger things off."
Keep in mind that your due date doesn't mark the day after which your baby will be in danger. Your baby is safe in the by amniotic fluid (the liquid around your baby) and will continue growing while he's still in there. So yes, going overdue is likely to increase the birth weight!
The waiting game can be hard, so instead of sitting around brooding, try some gentle exercise. A walk in the fresh air – or even a spot of sex – can keep your mind occupied and frustrations at bay. Old wives tales swear by certain foods, like a hot curry. However, if the waiting becomes unbearable, your midwife might suggest a stretch and sweep.
Essentially, it's a cervical examination where the midwife uses her fingers to separate stubborn membranes from the wall of the uterus. It's painless and can help the labour process along.
There's no solid proof that the age-old tales of inducing labour actually work. But there's no harm in trying!
Some say that lots of sex can help bring on birth. While the prostaglandins (hormones) in sperm can initiate labour, you'd have to have a lot to make a difference.
Another tale is eating pineapple. Apparently the enzyme in the fruit called bromelain can help soften the cervix, so if you like pineapple, chomp away.
There's been much debate about whether raspberry leaf tea (not fruit tea) can bring on labour, but there's no long-term evidence to support this.
Another suggested tip is having your nipples stimulated! This act is thought to encourage the release of the labour hormone oxytocin – although don't take this too literally as you wouldn't want to make them sore!
Not at all. If you decide against the stretch and sweep, the midwife will keep an eye on you. If you've had a normal and healthy pregnancy up until now, going overdue isn't a concern.
If you reach the 10-day mark, you will be asked to have some tests. These will involve a heart tracing on your baby using a special monitor attached to your bump and an abdominal scan. This is so the doctors can monitor the amniotic fluid. It will happen twice a week once you're 10 days overdue.
The maximum time you'll be allowed to go overdue is usually 16 days, which is a total of 282 days of pregnancy based on the LMP calculations made by your doctor when you first thought you were pregnant. Some mums-to-be are allowed to go to 42 weeks (that's 294 days), but you're likely to be offered an induction before then.
If you're induced you'll be given labour-inducing hormones such as artificial oxytocin via a drip or prostaglandin (which is a gel). You'll be examined after six hours and if your cervix opens enough during this period, your midwife might try an artificial rupture of membranes (ARM), which gently breaks the waters. If all else fails, you'll be given further doses of oxytocin, or if necessary, a caesarean.
The most important – and safe – thing you can do whilst waiting to meet your baby is to relax during your pregnancy. Stay upbeat so that your physical and mental energy is at its best for when you get to the labour you've been waiting so long to happen!

'The Network category contains the options "Optimize network for speed" and "Enable IPv6 when available". "Optimize network for speed" will be enabled by default, and will send packets more frequently at the cost of higher bandwidth.'
Not the best idea there. I have very low bandwidth and very low limit. Cant send packets more frequently. Of course I'll uncheck those boxes, but they shouldn't be enabled by default as some ppl wont do that and it will result in them using more bandwidth (especially on limited/capped) networks faster.
...I gotta update my damn internet service :(
They forced the "Optimize network for speed" change on everyone a while back and they said that it improved performance for the vast majority of players, but they rolled the change back specifically because of the small number of users (e.g. you) who were negatively affected by the change. The default may be worse for you, but it will be the better option for the vast majority of players, so that's why it's the default.
Yes, u can make the network changes prior to logging in. You may have to launch wow using wow.exe as opposed to launcher.exe in order to access this, as with network problems the launcher may not work.

Each evening there was a concert by the marina, which displayed the various styles of music of the (Asturian) region.
The town itself was fairly modern, with a few hidden gems.
A most pleasant stay.
We visited the main sites like the beautiful Cathedral and the old part of town which was nice. Than we had dinner in a small restaurant where we tried some Asturian dishes like Fabada. Walked a little more and than got our car out of the parking and drove back to the camping. 28th We left for Santander but when we got near the weather was so awful that we continued to Bilbao.

To a Jonas Brothers Concert (If you're a dude)
13 year old girls crowding everywhere, people killing each other to get to the front, screams so loud your eardrums actually burst! What can cause this? The Jonas Brothers, of course! If you're a dude who somehow was forced into these hellish events, here are a few things you need to survive
1. Full body armor. I'm not talking just some Kevlar or SWAT armor. I'm talking full on, 'I'm gonna wear this in a nuclear explosion' armor. The amount of energy these girls put out is equivilent to 225 kilotons of dynamite. The heat from the girls can produce a heat wave similar to that of you standing directly in front of an actively exploding volcano's mouth. From all sides. You will need every bit of protection you can get your hands on, for every kind of danger. I will guess that most of it will still be rendered useless by the end of the concert, though.
2. The legs of a Kenyan Olympic runner. I don't care how you get these. You NEED them. If the boys don't show up, or someone starts a fight over which Jonas brother is hotter, or if a all hell breaks loose in general, you don't stand a chance in there. You better run. Fast.
3. A Magic 8 ball. Every 5 minutes, ask it this question: "Is it time, yet?" If it answers any of the 'Yes' or 'Maybe' answers, make a break for it. If you don't see or hear some commotion (other than the standard screaming and pushing for the front), go back in and resume asking the Magic 8 ball.
4. Drugs that increase your attention span: Speed, Ritalin, ephedrine, etc. It might not be a good thing to have the ability to pay attention to the evil-attracting trio, but the payoff is much greater than the pain. You will notice fights and outbreaks before they even happen, which gives you that split-second advantage you need to escape alive.
5-7 will be what not to bring.
5. A weapon. Or anything that might remotely resemble a weapon. The crazy bitches will think you're trying to murder the Jonas Brothers, and their serial killer instincts will override their attention to the Jonas Brothers. And guess who is the target? You might take a couple down, but in the end, you will get killed.
6. Alcohol or drugs that reduce attention or give hallucinations: weed, acid, Dramamine, etc. Pretty much opposite of 4. You will lose time that you need to run, which will result in you getting trampled. May you rest in peace.
7. Your anti-Jonas shirt. This is just common sense, people! You can wear it out in public, but not here. I'm not even going to say what will happen to you.
(Back to things to bring)
8. The blessings of everyone/thing you know. Pray to all gods, goddesses, idols, spirits, everything. You need divine protection. Worldly armor will not save you this time.

Cirque du Soleil's fourth show, their first after their North American breakthrough Le Cirque R�invent�, ran from 1990 through 1993. In the years following Reinvente's debut the company recruited many new performers, particularly from Europe and Asia. As well, the creative team wanted to deliver a more theatrical show than its predecessor, so the ring and curtain at the back of the performance space were eliminated to create smoother transitions between individual acts, tying them into a larger whole. Thus the show bridged the gap between the Early-Installment Weirdness and the spectacles that would establish the company as an entertainment powerhouse as The Nineties continued.The plot is similar to Reinvente's, but slightly more complex and symbolic. The Everyman has been spirited into a Magical Land of friendly, clownish "Flounes" and Angels, servants known as Corporation, and naughty Devils. What order there is here is kept by the jolly-but-intimidating Madame Corporation and her right-hand man the Great Chamberlain, who oversee the confused-but-kind Everyman's journey through a series of adventures and wonders.The original tour ran from 1990-91 in North America. In mid-1992, several performers and acts from this show were carried over into the Japanese arena tour Fascination. Once that tour was completed, Nouvelle reopened at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada for a one-year engagement (1992-93) as a precursor to Cirque's first permanent production (Mystere) at the Mirage's sister establishment, Treasure Island.The show was filmed in 1991 and won the 1992 Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Program (Special). Compare with KOOZA, a later show directed by David Shiner — who played the Everyman during this tour's first leg and created his character's clown acts — and created as a throwback to early Cirque efforts.

Five years ago today (Wednesday), a plane crash that could have been an unimaginable disaster, instead became known as the "Miracle on the Hudson." On january 15, 2009, U.S. Airways flight 1549 landed in the Hudson River.
The plane went down shortly after leaving Laguardia airport. It flew into a flock of geese that damaged both engines. Flight 1549's flight crew, led by Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, safely landed the crippled Airbus A-320 in New York's frigid Hudson River.
Incredibly, all 155 passengers and crew made it off the plane alive and most avoided serious injury. The crew members were hailed as heroes for their efforts. Sullenberger retired a short time later and is now an author and aviation consultant for CBS news.
As for the plane, it is now on permanent display at a museum in Charlotte.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
From StatsCube:
Gerald Wallace has a (deserved) reputation as a great defender, but after the Blazers acquired him at the trade deadline from Charlotte, they scored a ridiculously efficient 112 points per 100 possessions when he was on the floor.
That was easily the highest on-court offensive rating for any rotation Blazer last season. Second on the list was point guard Andre Miller, who the Blazers traded to Denver for Raymond Felton on Draft day.
The Draft-day deal for the ex-Bobcat Felton reunites him with Wallace, who he played with for five seasons. The last time the two were teammates, they were anchoring the No. 1 defense in the league and leading Charlotte to the lone playoff berth in franchise history.
Miss Sarah, sideline reporter.You didn't mention LMA as defense. He is not noted for his defense, but he has fast hands and can stay in front of the guards that try to pick and roll. He was a little light trying to body up to post players, but if you were a betting girl, I would bet you the house that Wheels doesn't own that LMA will be able to hold his own this year. Last year BRoy was a liability on D because of lack of lateral movement, but if his body is moving good, he may not always be great but then if he is just adequate, we don't have to hide him, but team defense would help anyway, because no matter how good Felton is with the NBA rules no one can defend a top notch pg, but for the same reason no one can guard Felton either.Pushing the ball up the floor is very important, but getting defensive rebounds and starting the ball up the floor is more important; having Camby healthy, and I hear from Barrett's blog that GO has signed with us so our rebounding should improve. BTW, I wouldn't mind having Joel back for that reason also.The more I think about our possibilities as a team, the more exited I get. I don't know if you remember from last year or not, but I am not a championship or nothing Guy, I just want them to play good BB and I think we will if the injury bug stays on the normal side of things.I think the defensive side of things will be the most important, I read, so I am sure that most of the younger fans wants the run and gun offense because it is exciting, and it works at times if you can get the rebounds to start the ball. Nate says high tempo starts with playing d, forcing turnovers or getting the rebound. And that is on the defensive players shoulders.I feel our half court offense is as important as our fast pace. Just saying a fast pace with no other options is to easily taken away from us. The Mavs took our fast pace away by not turning the ball over and getting all their rebounds. They also were able to muscle LMA out of the post and we couldn't hit our butts over the top. So we need half court execution, shooters hitting and good post ups. But to me it all starts on Defense. Sorry Miss Sarah, for the rant, but you do get me wound up with your blogs.
Can't wait for this line-up to click especially now that CP3 is a Laker (grrr!)
Defense, Defense, Defense. Roll on Blazers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah, I could not help but notice your pink apple laptop..lol. Sorry, this was way off topic.
Miss Sarah hecht:I got to watch the video of the show today with Mike Barrett. Very good.I am excited about the possibility of seeing, Greg, LMA and BRoy on the court togheter
@Hg, I'm glad you got to watch the show! MB is a gem and so full of knowledge, I make a point to learn as much from him as I can.You're right that I didn't mention LMA for his D, and I didn't for the exact reason you mentioned: he's not a defensive specialist. You're also right in that he'll be able to hold his own just fine.@blazerfan77, this whole saga is going to be interesting...@L.T.G, pink is my fave color!
Miss SarahI know you can't comment yet, but the rumor that BRoy is going to take a medical retirement is all over the blogs. This doesn't really upset me because I have always felt that BRoy's injury would eventually win, but when it did win he would hang up his sneakers.It was reported that maybe as early as today and it was because he didn't want to take a reduced roll. That is scary but I can rationalize that an agreement was made between him and The Blazers big three that he wanted to give it a go and if he couldn't make it then he would rather take a reiirement whether then an amnesty. Any way that could be as quick as today, I have to go to work about the time you start televising training camp, so I am not asking you to give me the scoop just to blog anything you have. I know you will do this because you are a sweet heart. How is that for manipulation?Hg
Miss Sarah:The report on OR-Live by Joe Freeman is false, If he plays he may never walk again. I have two wonderful Titanium and plastic knees and I can walk very well with no pain.

It was a very good massage
Honestly, it was a wonderful massage but I can get one as good for quite a bit less. The staff was great. The facility is quite nice but it still doesn't justify the cost. I have been to many resorts that offer quite a bit more and their massages were consistently less expensive by $30 - $35. Just want you to know.

The service itself was outstanding however....see below...
When we checked out, we were told we owed a certain amount for the gratuity. I find this very offensive. A tip is just that, at the discretion of the client. Not only were we presented with this bill, but it was nearly a 25% gratuity on each service. I know there is an expectation that the client tips on the FULL amount, which I would do. But 25%?? And it NOT being optional in any way?? Oh no. Also I was presented with three (very expensive) products that my facial person recommended. It was almost assumed I would purchase these....which I did not. This was my second visit; loved the massage and the facial, but I will probably not go back. I don't like being treated like that. I would be interested in YOUR reaction to this.

Panthers 30, Broncos 10
There's a proverb that states, "A picture is worth a thousand words." That is certainly the case with the NFL's playoff picture, which might be worth quite a bit more than a thousand words after the results of Week 15 made the race to the postseason even more interesting.
The events that took place at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium could profoundly impact the top of the NFC playoff picture and set up potential intrigue in the AFC West. The Panthers have a showdown with the Giants next Sunday night that will decide homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. As the Broncos missed a chance to win the AFC West, the Panthers inched closer to their third NFC South crown. In three previous playoff appearances, the Panthers have reached the conference championship and once advanced to the Super Bowl (losing to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Before facing the Chargers in San Diego to finish the season, Denver hosts the Bills with another shot at locking up the AFC West.

Cowboys 20, Giants 8
In failing to score a touchdown for the first time since December of 2004, the Giants have opened the door for the Panthers to take homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs. The two teams enter their Week 16 matchup with identical 11-3 records. The Cowboys, meanwhile, thrust themselves into a three-way tie with the Buccaneers and Falcons (all three sit at 9-5) in the hotly contested competition for the NFC's two wild-card spots.

Steelers 13, Ravens 9
For the second consecutive week, the Steelers waited until the game's final moments to snag victory from the jaws of defeat. After using a 17-point fourth quarter to beat Dallas 20-13 at Heinz Field last week, the Steelers scored the go-ahead touchdown with 43 seconds remaining to beat the Ravens, clinch the AFC North title for the second consecutive season -- and fourth in the last eight seasons -- and earn a first-round playoff bye. Next week, the Steelers will play the Titans with homefield advantage in the AFC playoffs potentially on the line.

Texans 13, Titans 12
Setting up next week's colossal clash at Nashville's LP Field was this upset of Houston's former team by its current one. The win was the fourth in a row by the Texans, which matches the longest in team history and is the longest single-season win streak since the team came into existence as an expansion team in 2002. The road toward homefield advantage in the AFC playoffs doesn't look quite as smooth as it did just a week ago for the Titans, who finish the season against the Colts in Indianapolis, while the Steelers host the Browns in the season finale.

Jets 31, Bills 27
The Jets ended a puzzling two-game skid by edging a Bills team that has been eliminated from playoff contention, but could still be a factor (playing at Denver and at home against New England to close out the season). In a game that featured four lead changes, the Jets' fifth defensive touchdown of the season proved to be the difference as Shaun Ellis' touchdown on a fumble recovery gave the Jets a much-needed victory.

Dolphins 14, 49ers 9
The Dolphins helped set the stage for what should be a wild final two weeks in the AFC East. With this victory, the Dolphins guaranteed themselves a winning record, and thus became the third team since 1970 to follow up a one-win season with a winning record (the last team to have such an amazing turnaround was the 1997 Jets, who finished 9-7 in Bill Parcells' first season as coach). Not coincidentally, this is Parcells' first season as executive vice president of football operations for the Dolphins.

Patriots 49, Raiders 26
On a wet and messy day at McAfee Coliseum, the Patriots remained in the thick of the AFC East division title chase with a thorough domination of the overmatched Raiders. In recording 21 first downs in the opening half of play, the Patriots scored touchdowns on their first four possessions, while the Raiders totaled just five first downs in that stretch. The win was the Patriots' first in Oakland since Sept. 24, 1978, when the eventual AFC East division champion Patriots defeated the Raiders 21-14 behind a strong, 126-yard, one-touchdown effort by Russ Francis.

Further muddling the NFC playoff picture was this result, which marked the 11th time in 11 games that an NFC South team defeated a divisional opponent at home this season.

Chargers 22, Chiefs 21
The Chargers kept their AFC West title hopes alive by pulling off the third-largest comeback in team history. The Chargers scored the final 19 points of the game after trailing 21-3 in the third quarter. Here's a breakdown of the Chargers' all-time greatest comebacks:
» On Nov. 12, 2006, the Chargers trailed by 21 and won 49-41 over the Bengals in Cincinnati.
» On Oct. 9, 1983, the Chargers trailed by 21 and won 28-21 over the Seahawks in San Diego.
» This week, the Chargers trailed by 18 and won 22-21.
» On Sept. 4, 1994, the Chargers trailed by 18 and won 37-34 over the Broncos in Denver.
» On Nov. 19, 2006, the Chargers trailed by 17 and won 35-27 over the Broncos in Denver.
» On Nov. 22, 1998, the Chargers trailed by 17 and won 38-37 over the Chiefs in San Diego.

Bengals 20, Redskins 13
After a 6-2 start to this season, the Redskins have dropped five of their last six games, including a third consecutive loss following Sunday's ugly result in Cincinnati. One big reason for the second-half slide may be the production of Clinton Portis, who has been held under 80 rushing yards in five of the last six games.

While the Packers have lost their fourth consecutive game for the first time since 2005, the Jaguars snapped a four-game losing streak and a four-game home losing streak.

Colts 31, Lions 21
In clinching a seventh consecutive 10-win season behind their seventh straight victory, the Colts remain in the driver's seat for one of the AFC's two wild-card spots. The Lions, meanwhile, became the third team in NFL history to start a season 0-14. No team has ever gone 0-15. The 1976 Bucs went 0-14.

Vikings 35, Cardinals 14
The Vikings outscored the Cardinals 28-0 in the first half. This marked the second time this season that the Cardinals have trailed by 28 or more points at halftime (the Cardinals trailed 34-0 at the half in a 56-35 loss to the Jets in Week 4).

Bears 27, Saints 24 (OT)
After leaving Chicago's Soldier Field with season-ending losses the past two years, the Saints were hoping to finally end that frustration. Instead, their slim playoff hopes took another blow. Chicago, meanwhile, improved its division title aspirations with the win and host Green Bay and visit Houston in the season's final two weeks.

Week 15 nuggets» The Steelers' defense has held opponents to under 300 yards in all 14 games this season, tied for the longest streak to start a season since 1970. The 1973 Los Angeles Rams -- champions of the NFC West led by Pro Bowl defenders Jack Youngblood and Isiah Robertson -- did not allow 300 yards in all 14 games in a 14-game season.
» Falcons DE John Abraham had three sacks for the third time this season (and it was the sixth time in his career with three or more sacks). Abraham's 15.5 sacks this season sets a new career high.
» Texans WR Andre Johnson set a franchise record with 207 receiving yards against the Titans.
» The Dolphins have not allowed a touchdown in three consecutive games for the second time in franchise history. The only other time that the Dolphins did not allow a touchdown in three straight games was in 1973 in Hall-of-Famer Don Shula's fourth season with the team.
» Patriots WR Wes Welker became the eighth player in NFL history with back-to-back seasons with 100 or more receptions (the last player to do so was Randy Moss in 2002-03).
» Ellis Hobbs' 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was the third such return of his career, tying Raymond Clayborn for the most in Patriots history.
» With two receptions against the Lions, Colts WR Marvin Harrison now has 1,095 career receptions, which passes Tim Brown for third all-time. Topping the career receptions list are Jerry Rice (1,549) and Cris Carter (1,101).
» Colts QB Peyton Manning now has 3,803 career completions, passing Vinny Testaverde for sixth all-time.

Monday nightBrowns at Eagles: Andy Reid might be saving his job and Romeo Crennel may be about to lose his. As bad as Reid's team was the last time it faced a woeful opponent from Ohio, Crennel's crumbling Cleveland Browns are not expected to get in the way of the Philadelphia Eagles' sudden playoff push Monday night.

Also like bimbling up hills, cycling (mainly as a form of transport) and seem to be doing a bit of running of late, though don't know where I'll get with it. Scout Leader and enjoy travel generally. Work in IT.

Divorce Mediation And The Role Of A Mediator In Marital Dissolution Cases

Following on the heels of the arcade and console shooter sensations, BlackSite: Area 51 is an action packed, first person shooter experience which pits gamers against alien enemy forces using the infamous U.S. government landmark, Area 51, and the surrounding areas as the battlefield backdrop. Set in present day, players take the role of a decorated military veteran charged by the government to lead a squadron of "secret soldiers," each with his/her own specialty skill set, into the Rachel, Nevada area to fight off the invasion of unidentified enemy races. The player's modern-day emotions and fears are driven into a world charged with grave responsibility affecting lives hanging in the balance and eventually finding himself torn between his professional orders and his own ethical standards. In the end, only the actions of the player and his squad can shape the outcome of BlackSite: Area 51 during this potentially pivotal moment in history.

This is a coffee you don't want to miss! A little more expensive than most, but well worth the price. This is ethical Ethiopian coffee at its best: certified organic, and produced by a local woman who lived in the U.S. for years working and learning the coffee trade. She returned to her homeland with two goals -- improve the social conditions of her people, and produce the highest quality Ethiopian coffee possible. Using entirely local and native varieties of coffee, she manages a thriving operation, is a stickler for quality and sustainability from her growers, and has produced results that are commanding a premium price, and rewarding the farmers for their work. Complex fruit and floral notes. Blueberry, dried banana, stonefruit, excellent body and balance. Check it out!
All current origins, in brief...
Note: Fair Trade (FT), Organic (O), and Rain-Forest Alliance (RFA) certifications are abbreviated below, and noted on origin pages. Certifications are helpful, but limited. Many farms without certification have spotless reputations for caring for the earth, and caring for their people and communities. I stand behind every origin I sell, as both socially and environmentally sustainable. See details about each origin. See "guiding principles" below.
BRAZIL PEABERRY - (RFA) From award-winning Daterra, an amazingly tiny peaberry; distinctive nuttiness, hint of soft fruit.
COLOMBIA - (O, RFA) From indigenous farmers in the Sierra Nevada mountains; smooth, wildflower honey, blackberry, citrus notes, currant
COSTA RICA - From Tarrazu region, well-known for high quality coffee; citrus notes of orange and tangerine, with milk chocolate, creamy
ETHIOPIA - (O) Outstanding organic origin in Amaro Mts; blueberry, dried banana, stonefruit, nuanced florals, excellent body and balance
GUATEMALA - A highly-regarded family farm in Acetenango with a rich history; cherry, raspberry, creamy body, vanilla, clean, sweet aftertaste
HONDURAS - (FTO) Small coffee producers' coop in southern Capucas; clean, sweet, chocolate, soft nutty notes, mild acidity
KENYA - (O) Shade-grown on Mt. Kenya, one of few Kenyan organic estates; tart and complex citrus, strawberry, green apple, clean finish
MEXICO - (RFA) A "honey-processed" coffee from Veracruz; delicate sweetness, with cedar, apricot, vanilla, and apple pie notes.
NICARAGUA - (FTO) San Juan del Rio Coco region; Medium body, nice citrus acidity. Semisweet chocolate, with notes of vanilla and caramel.
PANAMA - La Camiseta estate high on Barú Volcano; delicate acidity, light lavender notes, dark chocolate, orange cream, smooth mouthfeel.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA - (O) Korofeigu Farmers Cooperative; earthy, spice, Mexican chocolate, toffee, almond, strawberry jam, good body
SUMATRA - (FTO) A bold Mandheling that holds up to dark roasts; cedar notes, balanced, sweet tobacco, winey, spicy, chocolate.
DECAF MEXICO - (FTO) Grown in the Sierra Madres, decaffeinated with glacial-melt water; balanced, lemony, milk chocolate, walnut
Don't miss trying these new arrivals!
Mexico "honey-processed" coffee from a small-lot farm in the Sierra Madres Oriental. The Sampieri family is doing amazing things with their coffee, and with their community and environment. Delicate sweetness in the cup, with cedar, apricot, vanilla, and apple pie notes.
Sumatra Mandheling FTO is back in stock again! Grown on the lofty volcanic slopes of Mount Leuser near the port of Padang in the Batak region of west-central Sumatra, Indonesia. A great bold origin, especially if you like darker roasts. Strong cedar notes, consistent, balanced, sweet tobacco, winey, spicy, chocolate.
I have an amazing Brazilian Peaberry Pearl from the award-winning Daterra coffee farms. You will be impressed!
This new Panama La Camiseta is an outstanding example of high-altitude coffee that may pleasantly surprise you, coming from a small country not as famous for its coffee.
LOCAL CUSTOMERS (Harrisonburg, VA vicinity): Pick up locally and pay no shipping! See Ordering Info page.
About me
Since 2004 I have been a home coffee-roasting enthusiast, always in search of high-quality, socially-responsible, and environmentally-sustainable green coffee beans. I discovered the best way to do this is nurture relationships with importers who care as much about ethical coffee as I do, and to rely on their on-the-ground knowledge of coffee farms around the world. So in 2008 I started buying green coffee in quantity and reselling to home coffee roasters like myself. This little side business has brought me great satisfaction, as I now have ready access to an outstanding variety of coffee myself, and I have helped many other home roasters (even a few micro-roasting businesses) get great coffee for great prices.
