Halladay prepared for next phase in comeback
PHILADELPHIA -- Roy Halladay is an optimistic man as he prepares to leave on Thursday for Clearwater, Fla.
Halladay said Wednesday he has made steady progress since right shoulder surgery in May. He threw a lengthy bullpen session on Monday and plans to throw a five-inning simulated game on Saturday at Carpenter Complex. If everything goes well, there is a chance he could begin a rehab assignment next week, although Halladay declined to put a timetable on a potential return to the Phillies.
The original timetable always had Halladay back in late August or early September.
"Everything, so far, has gone how we mapped it out," Halladay said. "I've felt really good the whole time. To me, it's really important that not only do I feel good, but the evaluation of what I'm doing is important also. I can't just say, 'Hey, I feel good. Bring me back.' The evaluation of what I'm doing and how things are going has to be there too.
"I'm not interested in coming back and pitching at the same level I was early this year. I want to come back and pitch at a high level."
This is an interesting time for Halladay. On the field, he will be looking to see if he can still get big league hitters out. Off the field, he is a free agent following the season. He said last month he would like to stay in Philadelphia, but that was before the Phillies entered a remarkable tailspin, which has some observers questioning the direction of the organization.
Halladay said his view of the Phillies has not changed.
"I see a lot here, actually," he said. "I see, obviously, Chase [Utley]. I like our third baseman [Cody Asche]. I like his swing and would like to see him catch fire at the end of the season. And Domonic Brown has been a positive. Seeing how Ryan Howard does this winter is good.
"And obviously, myself, knowing I can come back and compete at a high level is important. I see a lot here. I really do. It would obviously be my first choice if everything goes the way I feel it's been going. But that's down the road. I'm just trying to focus on now."
Halladay said the identity of the Phillies' pitching coach could also play a role in his decision. Current pitching coach Rich Dubee is in the final year of his contract, and the thought is that the front office will make coaching staff changes following the season.
"To me, it's important," Halladay said. "I never was very fortunate in Toronto to have long-term pitching coaches. They were in and out pretty quick. I felt like the longer I had a guy, the more he knew me, the more he could help me. Rich has been unbelievable since I've been here. He's helped me tremendously. That is definitely something to think about. If he's here, you know what you're going to get."
But the Phillies will want to see Halladay pitch with some success before they decide to bring him back. That is OK with him. He wants to see some success, too.
"I want to make sure when I start my rehab assignment I feel like I am able to compete at a high level," he said. "I don't want to treat it as a Spring Training-type of thing. I'm getting close to that now, where I can compete that way. I want to compete in those games like I would here, so I know when I get here, where I stand.
"I'm not coming back to try to get a contract for next year, a bigger contract, anything like that. I just want to come back and pitch. After that, hopefully make a decision on where I can win. I hope that's here."

Israel and Jordan signed an agreement two weeks ago declaring joint administration on a project connecting the Red Sea and the Dead Sea via a canal. The project will be financed by the World Bank. Advertized as a preservation measure for the Dead Sea and alleviation of the water scarcity in the region, it may also deepen the already substantial dependence Palestinians have on Israel for access to water resources.
The purpose of the project is to stop the fatal recession of the Dead Sea, while gaining potable water for Jordan, Israel and the West Bank. Along with a canal connecting the Red and the Dead Sea, a desalination facility is planned to convert seawater into drinking water.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the Read Sea Dead Sea Canal project was signed by Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in December 2013. According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, after the newest agreement, the PA will have the chance to sign a separate agreement with Israel in the case it wants access to the water provided through the Read - Dead Sea Canal project.
80 of the planned 200 million cubic metres to be pumped up from the Red Sea by Jordan will be converted into drinking water. 30 million cubic metres of it will be bought by Jordan, 30-50 million cubic metres by Israel. The PA will then be able to buy 30 million cubic metres of water from Israel by signing a separate agreement.
Palestinians will be left once more to buy water from Israeli sources, deepening economic dependence on Israel even more.
According to leading Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, 80 percent of water supplies found in the joint Israeli-Palestinian Water Aquifer – one of the most significant sources of water for both Israelis and Palestinians – go to Israel, while the remaining 20 per cent are made available for Palestinians. Developmental water projects for the occupied Palestinian territories were scheduled and defined in the Oslo Peace Accords in 1993, but due to technical difficulties, Israeli imposed restrictions and military demolitions of NGO funded infrastructure, the projects silted up. The PA currently purchases "about one third of available water in the West Bank" from Israel's national water company, Mekorot, according to B'Tselem.
A recent statement put out by the Palestinian NGO Ewash regarding the Read-Dead Sea Canal, called on both Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) "to take an unequivocal public stance of rejection to the project. It has become clear beyond doubt that the project is an unacceptable attempt to force the Palestinian population to consent to their own dispossession and to compromise on their own rights."
Ehab Barghouti of the Palestinian Water Authority told the Palestine Monitor, "the position of the Palestinian Water Authority is clear: We are on board with the project. We agree in principle to save the Dead Sea, but also because Palestinians will benefit [from the drinking water made available through the project]. We agreed on the conditions when we signed the MOU [Memorandum of Understanding signed by PA, Jordan and Israel in December 2013]. What happened two weeks ago was the signature of Israel and Jordan, which is part of the MOU. We will now proceed to negotiate with Israel about the 20-30 million cubic metres [of water] we should get out of the deal."
When asked whether or not he is afraid of Israel backing out of a deal with the PA, Barghouti was resolute: "Nothing will happen without the Palestinian side on board." If the Palestinians don't agree to every step of the project, argued Barghouti, international monetary aid very likely may be cut. This is the key, he said. As long as the international community watches over the project implementation, the Red-Dead Sea Canal project will be a success.

Yahoo called him a Reds' icon in their headline - which is quite apt. Save one very dark 18 month period in the early '60s, the man has served faithfully for the ball club almost non-stop - 63 years of service for the Reds - which is simply amazing.
I'll always remember those nights, listening to Marty and Joe talk about their ball club, their tomato plants and almost anything else under the sun, and even then, you knew you were listening to something special.
Here was a man who seems to have been loved by everyone in the game, and it didn't matter if they were a Reds uniform or not. I know Nolan Ryan attributed a lot of his success to Nuxy because, during a chance meeting during the '81 strike, a conversation helped Ryan transform from a thrower into a pitcher...all because of a short conversation with Joe.
And I only remember hearing him a couple of times become truly irate with another person - it was during those rare instances where a player (almost every time, if I recall correctly) did not show up for the Star of the Game segment after the final out was made.
But, in the end, Joe would forgive and become is usual jovial self again, talking with ease to whoever else would show up for the segment. And, I would listen to that segment every night so I could hear those special words:
This is the Old Left Hander...
Well. You know the rest.
I woke up from an extremely long week of work and stumbled down the stairs. I make it to the computer chair and the first thing I see is Joe Nuxhall has passed away. I've never had a personal converstation with the man. I've just listened to him every summer. Yet I've got a lump in my throat.
I'm sure my grandma will be one of many to greet you at the pearly gates.
It's a crying shame you didn't get into the HOF before you left Joe.

In the same way that a baseball season never really begins, it never really ends either. - Lonnie Wheeler, "Bleachers, A Summer in Wrigley Field"

This is a nice article about Joe from today's Enquirer:
To friends and neighbors, he was just a regular Joe -- breakfasting at the Bob Evans counter, chatting with everyone he saw, and plowing neighbors' driveways after a snow.
But to schools and other nonprofit agencies in his native Butler County, Joe Nuxhall will be remembered as an extraordinary heavy hitter. The Ol' Lefthander pitched in to promote elderly services tax levies and school bond issues; raised funds for troubled kids and character education; and handed out more than $450,000 in scholarships to about 400 high school seniors since 1989.
"I can't tell you how many lives he touched," said Sally Braun, Fairfield Community Foundation president.
But you couldn't tell that from his everyday life. Nuxhall, born in Hamilton, lived for more than 50 years in the same modest Fairfield home where he and his wife, Donzetta, raised two sons, Phil and Kim.
If he wasn't playing golf – or hanging out with buddies at the Joe Nuxhall Golf Center driving range managed by Kim near Hamilton's Joyce Park – Nux loved to cut grass on his John Deere riding mower or tend to his dwarf snapdragons and other flowers.
In the winter, he'd hop on the John Deere and plow his driveway – and a few of his neighbors' too – recalls Dr. Kim Kupper, a West Chester Township dentist and his Fairfield neighbor since 1980. Kupper called him "a great neighbor" and "not pretentious at all."
Nuxhall began nearly every day the same way – with a 7 a.m. breakfast at the Fairfield Bob Evans Restaurant counter with his son and three friends. Waitresses would have a hot cup of coffee waiting when they saw him drive his Ford van – or 1989 Lincoln Continental – into the parking lot.
Dan Hare of Fairfield Township, one of the Bob Evans' "counter culture" regulars, said Nuxhall didn't mind the frequent interruptions from fans.
In a recent interview, Hare explained that Nuxhall "always makes time to talk to everybody. Some celebrities, they just want to eat their meal and move on. But Joe will talk to everybody. I think that's a remarkable trait," Hare is head of the Butler County Educational Service Center.
Hare, attorney Dale Lierman, remodeling company owner Mark Lewis, Kim and Joe frequently talked at Bob Evans about details for the Joe Nuxhall Character Education Fund, founded in 2003 to promote respect and caring in classrooms throughout the Midwest.
Cathy Milligan, a Fairfield educator since 1973, said Nuxhall had "a concern about what makes children successful in life, not just for 13 years in school. He wanted them to have a solid foundation that will carry students through the rest of their life -- to be good citizens, good employees, good parents," said Milligan, Fairfield interim school superintendent.
Nuxhall also vigorously supported Butler County elderly services. He appeared several times on campaign literature for the countywide tax levy with his mother, Naomi Purdy, who died last summer at age 97.
Among the many lessons Nuxhall learned from his mother growing up in Hamilton was the importance of giving back to the community. "She was always participating in things at her church. She was always ready to help out," he once told The Enquirer.
Nuxhall never just lent his name to a project or campaign. He learned the issues and talked about them at rallies, said Steve Schnabl, Hamilton Senior Citizens Inc. executive director.
"He just didn't tell baseball stories. He wanted what he put his name on to succeed. That's why it made so much sense to me that Kim started a character education fund," Schnabl said.
Last spring, after doctors found four malignant tumors in Nuxhall's leg, the character fund launched the ambitious $7.8-million Joe Nuxhall Hope Project to help underprivileged, abused or neglected children.
In addition to funding character education and scholarships, the campaign (www.joehope.org) is raising money for:
• a Reds Rookie Success League to teach baseball and character lessons to underprivileged Butler County kids at Fairfield's Waterworks Park;
• a $2.4-million for a gym, classrooms and kitchen at Fairfield's One Way Farm nonprofit home for abused and abandoned kids;
• and a $500,000 rubberized baseball field in Hamilton's Joyce Park for wheelchair-bound children.
Last April's kickoff at Jungle Jim's Oscar Event Center was a rare public look at Nuxhall's charitable efforts. Marty Brennaman, Nuxhall's radio partner for 31 seasons (1974-2004), said few outside Butler County knew about his commitment to kids because he didn't talk about it.
Nuxhall taught him "a helluva lot about humility," Brennaman said in an interview before the event. "He legitimately would not care if anybody ever knew about it, because he derives enough satisfaction by himself, in doing what he does."
Before the Hope Project dinner, Nuxhall explained: "It's for the kids. It's not about me. I don't like to blow my own horn. It's not my nature."
In a 2005 WCET-TV interview, Nuxhall said: "I just want people to think of me as one of the regular guys."
After his cancer came back in September, Fairfield and Hamilton city leaders jointly announced that the road on the cities' border to Joyce Park – with acres of baseball, football and soccer fields – would be renamed "Joe Nuxhall Way."
Fairfield also announced plans for a life-size statue of Nuxhall helping two children by artist Tom Tsuchiya, who did the Nuxhall sculpture outside Great American Ball Park. The bronze artwork will be placed next summer at Waterworks Park, near a new concession stand and shelter to be called Joe Nuxhall Pavilion. It's a fitting tribute to man who gave so much to kids, Braun said.
"He never said 'No' to anyone," Braun said. "The legacy he leaves is one of giving, and supporting the children of Butler County. He's made more of an impression from being a human being, than from as a ballplayer."
Got to the board late today as I sometimes do in the off-season. My whole life revolved around Waite Hoyt, Gene Kelly, Claude Sullivan, Marty, but mostly Joe. I'm devastated.
My first conscious knowledge of Joe was 1962 (I think) and he came back from Kansas City to the Reds and immediately pitched lights out that year. He became a favorite player. When he retired, i can still remember the picture in the local paper (they used to carry the Reds news on the front of the sports page--they no longer do that--he was crying, but was to be the broadcaster. I can't get the image out of my mind that the guy loved the Reds and baseball so much it brought him to tears. Wow.
I'll never forget the home run calls where Marty was describing the HR and Joe was yelling, "Get up, get up, get out." So many things.
RIP, Joe, you've earned your rest.
P.S. Mods, please remove that line under my avatar that says "rounding third and heading for home." That belongs to Joe, not me.
Matt anyway you can float the idea to the Reds to retire #41 in honor of Joe this coming season??
thanks and Im gonna miss Joe so much!
In some strange way, it's fitting that a real icon like Joe would pass away just as someone as deplorable as Bonds would finally be nailed for more less stealing one of the biggest treasures in baseball.
Rest in peace Joe, thanks for the memories...
If baseball had a lifetime achievement award, it should be given to Joe Nuxhall then named for him. (A quote from BCubb from his always great thread)
A groundswell should be pushing for this immediately. Both aspects of it.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
My memories of Joe will always liken back to listening to Reds games on the radio while sitting in the old yellow seats of Riverfront Stadium with my grandfather. Even when at the game, it just was the thing to do to listen to Marty and Joe.
RIP Joe, you will be missed.
Haven't read through the thread yet, but wanted to say that I heard this on the radio AS I WAS DRIVING PAST the ballpark this morning. Very weird.
I want to put flowers at his statue at the ballpark this afternoon. Is that a nice gesture or does it cross the line into Crazyfan?
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

Secret budget documents show that a US military laboratory in Afghanistan analysed DNA from Osama bin Laden's corpse and confirmed his identify shortly after he was killed by a Navy commando team.
The Pentagon denied more than a year ago it had any records of these tests in a response to a freedom of information request filed by the Associated Press a day after President Barack Obama announced bin Laden's death.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that classified intelligence budget files provided by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden stated that a forensic intelligence laboratory run by the Defense Intelligence Agency performed the DNA testing. The Post reported that the tests "provided a conclusive match".
The AP's request for records submitted on 2 May 2011 included DNA and facial recognition tests performed to ensure the body was bin Laden's, all videos and photographs taken during the raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, the death certificate and other records related to the mission.
Responding in March 2012, the defence department said it could not locate any of the files.
The AP reported in July that the nation's top special operations commander, Admiral William McRaven, had ordered military files about the raid purged from defence department computers and sent to the CIA, where they could more easily be shielded from being made public.
The secret move appeared to have sidestepped federal rules and perhaps the Freedom of Information Act. The CIA has special authority to prevent the release of "operational files" in ways that cannot effectively be challenged in federal court.
Spokesmen for the Pentagon and CIA denied the move was intended to avoid the legal requirements of the information act. The bin Laden mission was overseen by the CIA, they said, which meant the records about the raid should be housed with the spy agency.
The CIA has not responded to a separate request for many of the same records about the bin Laden mission the Pentagon said it could not find.

"Nine Americans die each hour due to air pollution."
-Roy E. McAlister, P.E.
Typical inefficient electrolysis as described by outdated text books, incorrectly limited by Faraday's calculations made in 1833.
In the antiquated process above, it is said the energy input will always be greater than the energy output. Note that the electrode placement is not important in typical electrolysis, and an electrolyte must be used.
Stanley Meyer in 1995 showing his patented water fuel cell. In this design, high voltage is used, current consumption is limited and the electrodes are placed very close together. Meyer's method uses standard tap water without any additives. Advanced electronics are used to reach 1700% more efficiency than Faraday's maximum.
In Meyer's cell, multiple 304 stainless tubes are used with one tube inside of the other to form a very close concentric gap of about 1.5mm (.060"). By simply having the tubes in close proximity to each other, the amperage requirement is reduced considerably thereby exceeding Faraday's calculations. This invention is one of many that show the true energy value contained in water
The Fossil Fuel Lie
Updated 03/05/2017
This site had to be reinstalled from scratch due to a server problem, so you might notice a few images that don't load here and there. No worries. I am going to revise this site soon with new updated information! Please checkout my online "Free Energy Inventors" web store, here: http://www.Ritalie.com/store
Most people cannot believe that there are alternative energy and fuel technologies available. The truth is, there has always been alternatives, but the energy companies can't make money on them. Water fuel is one such development that has been around for ages, but has always been supressed, very heavily. The patents have always been bought off, or the inventors threatened or killed. I am going to mention it again, just because it can't be said enough.
There is an alternative to gasoline, diesel, coal, propane, natural gas, nuclear power, even hydroelectric and solar power. It's called water. Yes, water. Ordinary clean drinking water can be converted into a special form of electrically charged hydrogen and oxygen gas called Brown's gas, or HHO. With Brown's gas you can run your car, heat your house, or power an entire city. It has long been possible to create hydrogen "on demand" from an onboard water tank to power your vehicle for hundreds of miles. As of right now, you could literally be filling your car up with water instead of gas. The technology exists, and it has always existed. Before gasoline pumps were even invented, one of the very first engines ever invented ran on hydrogen gas produced from electrolysis. Electrolysis is the electrical process that breaks down water into oxygen and hydrogen.
The energy companies have kept this information a secret through very powerful and smart supression. There are 2 parts to the supression. 1.) Disinformation. They have been teaching people that you can never get more energy out than you put in. Sadly, most people believe this. The people who believe this never test the principle, they just assume that it is true. Why would we assume something won't work when it costs almost nothing to test, and has the potential to save the world? Sadly, if you ask any scientist, auto mechanic or teacher, they will all say the same thing, that it won't work. None of these people have tried it, and really know nothing about water fuel. 2.) Forced supression. If the disinformation will not keep people's curiousity at bay, and if they have a suitable test engine, and time, they may end up figuring out how to run their car engine on water. When this happens there has always been forced supression. Forced supression is just what it sounds like. It includes threats to the inventor or offers to buy all rights to an invention, in order to keep it out of the public domain.
The world is waiting for new technology to save the world. Water fuel is that technology. But the technology isn't new, it has simply been hidden from view.
We are counting on the experts to help us save money and reduce pollution. Well that isn't going to happen. Unfortunately the experts are the same people who work for the the large corporations, the same corporations who have destroyed our planet for the last 100 years. The energy companies are absolutely not going to help us! They are going to keep raising prices, and keep creating the same gas guzzling cars and coal powered electrical generators for as long as they can.
So long as people continue to be in the dark about water fuel, and other technologies, the energy companies are going to keep stealing our money. They are smart. They know what they are doing.
Believe it or not, it isn't just the oil companies who are stealing our money with high fuel prices. The car companies keep producing fuel wasting vehicles. Fuel economy stays very poor considering the new technology that is available. From the 1960's all the way up to about 2006, the average gas mileage of vehicles went slightly down! This was according to the governmnent's own test data, and is available on a government website if you would like to take a look. Yes, the gas mileage went down over a 40 year time period. How can this be? This is such an obvious conspiracy that it would take an absolute fool not to see it. Fuel injection, computers, better engines, better spark plugs, better alloys, better engine control methods, and still fuel economy goes down? How is that possible? Today's fuel economy (MPG) on new cars is still unaccpetable. The people of the world are being ripped off. We are being given a raw deal on our fuel prices, and on the cars we buy.
What is most unsettling about all of this is that nobody cares. People seem to enjoy paying for fuel that we don't even need. When the subject of water fuel is brought up to people, they seem completely uninterested. If you bring up the subject to a teacher they will just get upset and tell you that it isn't even possible, although they really know nothing about Brown's gas, which is not normal hydrogen!
People who live here on Earth do not care about one of the most important issues that has ever existed in our known history. We can eliminate the use of fossil fuels, and power the world on water, and people don't even want to talk about the issue? With the extreme apathy in individuals, we cannot place all of the blame on the oil companies. People need to start talking about water fuel, and other alternative energy technologies, otherwise the war will be lost. I suggest that you share this website, and all other related websites, and videos, and try to spread the word. To get water fuel visible to the masses, it has to reach the masses, and the only way to do that is by a grassroots effort by people like ourselves.
Every car manufacturer today could design a car to run on water. You could simply add some water to your fuel tank and drive away. The exhaust emissions would be absolutely pure. The by-product of HHO (Brown's gas) combustion is water. You start out with water, split the water into hydrogen and oxygen, then when it burns, it converts back into water. But when you burn Brown's gas (HHO produced from the electrolysis of clean pure water without an excessive amount of chemicals) something occurs during the burning process that draws in energy from the surrounding environment. Hydrogen and oxygen gas that is not produced from electrolysis does not carry the same electrical charge, and it is not Brown's gas. Many people misundertstand this very important concept. If you burn gas from a compressed cylinder that you purchse from a bulk gas supplier, it does not draw in additional energy from the ambient zero point field around us. This is why the theory that you "cannot get more out than you put in" is completely wrong. It ignores the proven aspects of Brown's gas. Yull Brown proved that Brown's gas has properties which are much different than regular non-electrically charged gases.
The electrolysis process is the key to this whole thing. Electrolysis produces electrically charged HHO gas, which is Brown's gas. You cannot buy a container filled with hydrogen gas and mix it with oxygen to create Brown's gas. To make Brown's gas, which contains many more units of energy per volume than standard hyrogen and oxygen gas, you must produce it using electrolysis. The electrolysis process is what is responsible for creating Brown's gas. Brown's gas can power a car engine easily, on such small amounts of gas that there is no storage tank needed, whereas normal hydrogen is not as powerful, and you will need a very large volume of gas to be stored in containers aboard the vehicle, which is not practical.
If you ever notice, the car companies do produce hydrogen powered concept vehicles, but they never use electrolysis to produce the hydrogen, they always store it in expensive carbon fiber tanks. By doing this, they avoid the entire issue of Brown's gas. You cannot make Brown's gas from using a compressed cylinder of hydrogen gas. Compressed hydrogen is just a normal flammable gas, it doesn't have any unusual characteristics. To get Brown's gas you need to produce gas using electrolysis. Brown's gas, because of it's strong electrical charge, is a form of zero point energy. It draws in a surplus of energy from the zero point field when it burns. Normal hydrogen gas is not a form of zero point energy, and that's why the major corporations never show you anything that has electrolysis, not even HHO welders. They avoid electrolysis devices at all costs because it might reveal the existence of zero point energy. Zero point energy devices are overunity, meaning you will be able to get more out than you put in. This is not magic, it is simply the process of collecting energy from the zero point energy field, which is electrical in nature. (Another way to collect zero point energy is to use a radiant charger.)
To make Brown's gas you will need a water fuel cell with electrolysis plates, and a special DC power supply to generate the gas. You cannot generate this gas properly with AC, because it can cancel the electrical charge. Not all water fuel cells will generate Brown's gas. You have to find a way to create the strongest electrical charge possible on the water, otherwise the gas produced will only contain about 12% Brown's gas.
A variation of Brown's gas is produced by the Joe cell. The Joe cell releases subatomic particles, called protons, which are actually hydrogen atoms that have been stripped of an electron, otherwise known as H+ ions, these particles act similarly to Brown's gas, but are able to saturate porous metals like aluminum and cast iron. A Joe cell is so efficient that it can operate an engine completely without gasoline, and without any significant current going to the Joe cell. The Joe cell also makes a very good "booster" to assist in fuel economy.
When you do produce 100% Brown's gas, you can power you car on a tiny fraction of the gas. Your engine can be run on very small amount of Brown's gas, because when it combusts, it draws in additional energy from the ambient environment. When you ignite Brown's gas inside an engine using a high voltage spark, while it is compressed, it creates far more power than mainstream science can explain. It is because mainstream science has intentionally ignored the existence of Brown's gas.
Water fuel is as real as it gets. It is NOT a myth. The only myth is the idea that we need fossil fuels to create energy. The scam also says that we cannot survive without fossil fuels, that when we run low on fossil fuels, our industries will stop, and the cars will stop too. That is not true. We have plenty of alternatives. There is absolutely no need for fossil fuels. We haven't needed them for at least 60 years. People have been building cars that run on water since the first day of the internal combustion engine.. This is the truth that has been hidden from us. Please start sharing the truth with your friends and family. The Earth needs our help with this issue.
More Information about Water Fuel
Water in its natural form is not flammable. However it does contain hydrogen and oxygen. If you can release the hydrogen and oxygen, then the gases are extremely flammable. Brown's gas is HHO gas that has an electrical charge on it. The electrical charge will change the flammability, making the gas far more powerful than ordinary hydrogen gas. Brown's gas taps into the zero point energy field, when it is combusted, it draws in energy, so it is possible to get far more energy out than you put in. This has been proven in controlled laboratory conditions, although you won't hear about it in the newspaper or on CNN.
Hydrogen can be made from tap water, sea water or rain water, anywhere in the world. The fuel of the future is not ethanol, natural gas, or vegetable oil, it is water.
Another aspect of water is that it is an electrical fluid. Water can be used to create negative electricity, known as radiant energy. You will need to charge the water for several days using 316L stainless plates, and a radiant charger. Then aftter the water has been charged, it will begin drawing in, and converting the ambient zero point energy into a useable form of radiant energy. The energy is transfered through the water into the stainless steel plates where you can collect it, and convert it into useable current. Why this happens is not clear, but Joe in Austrailia, Stanley Meyer and Bob Boyce have all found that you can produce electricity from a water fuel cell. Joe in Australia said he could power an entire house from electrically charged water from a small water fuel cell.

At least once over the past few months, you probably heard some variation of this story emailed to us back in December:
Let me start off by saying that there is no way I can confirm this story, but a close friend of mine is a pharmaceutical rep in Milwaukee. He's been doing it for a while now and has gotten to know a few of the nurses fairly well. A few months ago he and a nurse were shooting the shit while he waited for the doctor and as a girl walked out the door the nurse told him that she was in there because Ryan Braun gave her herpes. He thought it was a joke but she was dead serious. I am sure this breaks some sort of nurse code but would Valtrex or some other med elevate testosterone levels?
When we unpacked Braun's case back then, we didn't mention the herpes story, because it was both medically unfounded and way too convenient. (The rumor sated those message-board-dwellers who assumed there was something lurid and wrong with Braun's test, even though it was nonsensical.)
But in his press conference today, Braun, who also said he was willing to bet his life that PEDs never entered his body, denied the whole thing.
"I've never had an STD," he said. So there, ladies of Milwaukee and Kenosha and Racine and Manitowoc. Ryan Braun is back in business.

Though we most often associate piracy with men, we know that there were circumstances where there were women pirates.
Famous Female Pirates
In the West, the two most famous were Anne Bonny A.K.A. Anne Talbot A.K.A. Ann Fulford and Mary Read. Meanwhile in the Far East there was a woman pirate who is arguably one of the most successful pirates man or woman to ever exist, Ching Shih. Though separated by thousands of miles and nearly 100 years, these women pirates excelled in their raiding and serve as interesting counterpoints to what is traditionally associated as a largely male domain.
|The Pirate Anne Bonny
Anne Bonny: Raised As A Boy
The story of Anne Bonny and Mary Read follow along similar lines. Both were essentially raised as boys. Anne was the illegitimate daughter of a lawyer who was having an affair with his maid in Ireland. To hide Anne from nosy neighbors and prevent a scandal, the father dressed her up as a boy and began to train her as a legal clerk. Unfortunately for Anne, the lawyer's wife found out about the affair and child and he was forced to move to America, as his practice was ruined once his affair and duplicitous life were discovered by the community.
Anne and her father ended up in the Carolinas and Anne grew up to be quite the headstrong young woman. Counter to her father's approval she ran away with a penniless neer-do-well sailor whom she quickly discarded for the pirate captain Calico Jack. Once she bore him a child, she dressed as a man and joined him on ship – where she met up with Mary Read.
Mary Read: Man-Of-War Maiden
Like Anne, Mary spent much of her life working alongside men. In fact at the age of thirteen she was a footman to a French lady. Being a youth, she grew tired of waiting after pampered ladies of high society so she went and dressed as a man again and worked on a man-of-war.
She later joined the army in Flanders where she married a soldier whom she was sharing a tent with. Leaving the military behind, the couple opened a bar that soon became insolvent when her husband died. After that she took a series of jobs on ships including one that was captured by pirates, where she grew accustomed to the lifestyle, and eventually joined the crew of Calico Jack.
The Fate of Anne and Mary
|Calico Jack
Captain Calico Jack and the two women primarily focused on raiding small fishing boats until a privateer caught up with their ship. After a long chase and a brief firefight that left the pirate ship disabled, they were forced to surrender. The prisoners pled not guilty, but were quickly condemned, as the evidence against them was substantial. They were all sentenced to death.
However, it was at the sentencing that both Mary and Anne declared they were pregnant. After an examination, it was determined that they were and their sentence was delayed. What is known is that Mary Read passed away from disease shortly after the trial. As for Anne and her unborn child, little is known about their fate.
What is certain is that both women's celebrity has far outstretched the notoriety of much more successful pirates and that they will continue to be an interesting chapter in the history of piracy.
Coming Soon! Piracy in the Far East: A Family Affair, Part 2 of our series on Women Pirates! Learn about Ching Shih, one of the most successful pirates in history, man or woman!
If you have an interest in stories like this one, check out my previous posts, or come visit us at the Houston Maritime Museum and see a wide variety of ships, including those used by pirates, on display.
You can also meet several more female pirates in the Real Pirates exhibition at HMNS – now in its final weeks!

Innovative and influential Swiss designer and artist Janette Laverrière turns 100 this year.
With the exhibition 'Entre deux actes – Loge de comédienne' the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden Baden presents examples of Janette Laverrière´s work together with spacial installations from the 1960s until today, which as well as Janette´s work represent an artistic discussion with topics such as design and private living spaces. Among them Fischli & Weiss, Martin Kippenberger, Carlo Molino, Cosima von Bonin, Tobias Rehberger.
Born in 1909 in Switzerland, Janette Laverrière studied in Basel at the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule, where she learned the fundamentals of drawing and decoration. After training in her father's architecture practice, she designed her first pieces of furniture in the late 1920s and until 1945 collaborated on designs with her first husband, Maurice Pré. Involved in politics all of her life, Laverrière joined the Communist Party in 1945. Since then she has designed rooms, affordable furniture and "useless" objects. She began making mirrors in 1936—an interest that has continued throughout her career. From Laverrière's earliest work on, her close study of the objects of domestic life has frequently led her to create works of art at a far remove from mere functionality and unencumbered by the wishes of her clients.
The exhibition will be open until 10 October 2009.

Alec And John's Thoughts On Magicka So Far
Something we rather want to do on Rock, Paper, Shotgun is write about Magicka. It's one of those games, not a giant AAA mainstream release, but a small project that captured our attention. We'd been watching it from the corner of our eyes during development, and then Quintin fell completely in love with it when he previewed it last week. Our looks were forward. And then it was released.
It's been a real shame to see what should have been one of those feel-good stories become something completely different. A tale of bugs and woe and disaster. One Paradox has responded to by offering all Magicka DLC as free until the end of the month. As they fight to patch it into something playable, we decided to take a look at the game in co-op between ourselves. Except for Quintin, who organised it then remembered he'd bought tickets for the opera or something. So Jim, Alec and John set forth to adventure.
Well, as you'll note this is a conversation between Alec and John, because despite many efforts Jim was unable to get the game to even launch on two different computers. Not a great start. So Alec and John persisted, whittled down to two already. Nothing lasted very long. Once when we managed to get into a game John's game just froze up. Another time in the middle of a Challenge John's screen went black, and never came back. And a lot of the time was spent signing in and out of each other's attempts to host games. But we got some glimpses. And shared some thoughts.
John: So, game of the year?
Alec: I'll get back to you on that once it actually works. It's aggravating – I can see the game underneath, this clever and cheerful thing, but I can't get to it in more than short doses.
John: What have you managed to achieve with the game before our attempt tonight?
Alec: I've played through the tutorial mission about four thousand and thirty-eight times and the second and third missions about three times each.
John: Why would you want to play the tutorial so many times?!
Alec: I love being told how to walk left. It's my favourite thing. This was a consequence of playing since beta, in fairness, and there were a couple of save-wipes as they pushed out new builds. I've played it enough to be starting to comprehend the magic a whole lot more than on initial forays – there's a hell of a lot of strategy hidden inside this very cheery, casual looking thing.
John: Yes – there's no question that somewhere, beneath the pain, there's a really damned smart idea for a game. My experience has been one of finding that the single player really isn't an option, as you get mobbed and then sent back to checkpoints many battles ago. And trying to get a game with Phill Cameron, but finding he was always stuck to the floor. But tonight. Tonight was going to be different. Tonight we… opened our ports.
Alec: a new level of intimacy. And lo, we did achieve about two-thirds of a level before you got nailed to the floor or the sky exploded or something.
John: Well, first of all we had to create three different servers. And try logging into each other's.
Alec: There's this issue we've had a few times, most recently with Elemental – how much do you forgive a severely broken game whose creators have pledged they'll dedicate themselves to patching it? They're doing it, and I believe they will, but they did put an unfinished game up for sale.
John: Which is particularly strange, since it was scheduled for March. No one was demanding it in January.
Alec: The critical thing is that it hasn't put me off wanting to try again. I will keep checking back until I can play the game properly, because I do really like the game.
John: I'm at the point where I'm wanting someone else to tell me that it's fixed before I'll bother. Right, so say what that is. What is it that makes you really like it?
Alec: It's about the organic learning. It requires you to pay attention and pick stuff up and be deeply tactical, but it isn't that machine precision of StarCraft II. It's a sort of mad science learning. What if I do this and this and ooh look what happened there. And it doesn't tell me much of it; it waits for me to find out, so I can delight/horrify myself. Often the latter, as there are at least as many ways to messily destroy yourself as combine spells to victorious effect.
John: That's what grabs me too. Stumbling upon a spell. Tonight was my first experience of co-op, eventually, and when we crossed the beams that was a similar moment of delight.
Alec: In my fond imaginings, we were all going to hop onto the server and share about half a dozen favourite spells each that the others didn't know.
John: We'd all tip our heads back and laugh.
Alec: I think that can happen. But a) Quinns and Jim need to not flake and b) the game needs to be fixed.
John: Jim didn't flake! QUINTIN, HOWEVER.
Alec: Let's agree to fire him right now, and he won't know until he reads this tomorrow.
John: We tried some of the challenge tonight, too. Now, while bugs still affected us, I think the problems were deeper there too.
Alec: Well, there were at least two things against us that weren't necessarily the game's fault
1) We're not very good at it/games
2) It's clearly designed for four players, not two
Alec: So we were overwhelmed and punished and got stroppy, as you would. But with a CRACK TEAM of area spells and ranged and heals and whatnot it could be great.
John: But that's a giant issue too. Be designed for two players!
Alec: Yes, but it is the bonus mode rather than the main mode.
John: I still think the endless mobbing would grow tedious, even if you were adept at shaking them off.
Alec: Maybe they'll patch in easier ones at some point. I do maintain we could be a lot better at it though. We're still flailing.
John: Absolutely. I'm rubbish at it. But sadly the SP won't let me practise to get better.
Alec: we'll have to try again as a foursome, with you healing. OH NO WAIT.
John: Haha! Well, we'll definitely come back to it. So, if you were to describe Magicka as a Magicka spell, what would it be a combination of?
Alec: It'd defintely be that one where you simultaneously heal and eletrocute yourself. And you?
John: It's bugs + bugs + great ideas + bugs + exploding heads.
Alec: It's unforgivable. But I'm prepared to forgive it later. Right, I must dash.
John: Bye!
Alec: [explodes messily]

Hi! How is everyone? I've been wanting to blog for the longest time, but just haven't felt up for it and have been having complications recovering lately. This trip I was accompanied by my husband Mark - he is so amazing, can't imagine going through any of this without him. He takes such wonderful care of me - cooks fantastic comfort food and does everything around the house since I'm unable to do much in my situation! As much as I want to clean or get things done, when I'm having bleeds - all I can do is sit on the couch and wait it out!
As we arrived in CO, I just wanted to go straight to Swedish and get admitted - I was feeling weak and let Mark get me in a wheelchair as soon as we walked in the hospital! Let me say that what I'll be writing, isn't me "complaining", but trying to inform maybe a fellow avm-er or family member what I go through or what to expect. I would have liked to be given the heads up on lots of things and I've sure learned alot through experience! Whenever I get home from an embolization, a registered nurse from my primary insurance calls - and a few nights ago I spoke to a new nurse, so I had to go over all the fun I'm having! She seemed impressed with everything I do in order to stay on track, but I assured her it is a team effort to help me function! I was telling her about the vitamins I take (iron, potassium, calcium), plus the clear Ensure to supplement my diet, as I can't always eat when I'm actively bleeding! Every once in a while I also have some Pedalite - like when I was on a very strong IV antibiotic that upset my digestive system.
Back to the CO trip - we head right up to Dr. Yakes office on the 4th floor and are greeted by patient coordinators JoAnn and Becky! Got put in P.A. Kelly's office right away to start the admitting process. A few minutes later, JoAnn walks in with some Chi Tea for us from the Cafe downstairs! Yummy! What a doll! It really hit the spot and it made me feel sooo good! Got put in a room right away and got settled in for the night!
I guess because my levels were so low is the reason I was so weak. Turns out my blood level and potassium level were low. I felt like my head was not attatched to my body. I couldn't put things together and Mark had to keep "filling in the blanks" of conversations I had - just couldn't remember things. I remember nothing of The People's Choice Awards show - darn!
Was given potassium and a blood transfusion through IV to get me ready for having the embolization the next day. I barely remember being taken to surgery and it seems as soon as I lay down on the surgical bed I am OUT in a few seconds! Next thing I know, I'm waking up back in my hospital room. Here's what I heard happened. Apparently, Dr. Yakes had gotten up to using 16 cc's of alcohol and realized it was affecting my heart, so he stopped @ that point. He worked on my left inner ear area, so all that is black and scabbed over - ugh! Mark hadn't seen it until this weekend - I tell him sometimes I just don't want to burden him w/every single thing I'm going through, but it is a LOT! It's a wonder I don't lose my mind between the bleeding, infection, scabbing and ear drainage.
I hear I was woken up too early from anesthesia - apparently I was irate and was put back to sleep longer. I have no recollection of any of this. I had to wear a heart monitor overnight, so I had lots of wires attached to me! Not sure what is going on w/this blog site - I'm trying to post photos, but it isn't letting me. Sorry! I'll keep trying!
Anyway, I got to see some of my favorite nurses - Dave Labadie - the original member of my "dream team" that took care of me the first time ever @ Swedish! Here he is w/another of my favorite nurses - Elizabeth! My "twilight buddy" Jill is moving to ICU - sad for me, but advantageous for their department! I need to make her a copy of my Breaking Dawn Part 1 Soundtrack from the Twilight Saga! She made me a copy of Twilight's New Moon soundtrack when she knew I didn't have it!
The day I got dismissed from Swedish, Mark and I headed to Sam's Diner (featured in the show, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives") for breakfast! Got a photo of us outside as we were leaving because we were getting snowed on! We then headed to Barnes & Noble - I was looking for a particular book I couldn't find in Corpus Christi, and of course Colorado's B&N will carry more cross stitch magazines than our location will!
Got the car rental returned, headed to the airport and on home! I've been having some bleeds from my inside my mouth all weekend - so I've spent it all with my mouth packed in gauze! It just started bleeding spontaneously Friday night and I wasn't able to have anything to eat until about 10:00 p.m. Saturday night! By then I had tried to remove the packing several times, but kept starting to bleed. Once I had only one gauze in my mouth, I was able to "eat around it", so that is a relief!
I've still been fighting a pseudomonous and staph infection, so that has been making the left side of my jawline itchy and uncomfortable. Dr. Boynton advised me to stay on the oral Bactrim, but I feel it isn't helping. At this point, I'm just happy to not be actively bleeding.
Originally, we had hoped to take Hanz and Bella to Petsmart for their outing, but I just wasn't up for it w/the bleeds I've been having. I hope to have a decent day tomorrow - Mom will pick me up so I won't spend the day alone in case of a bleed. Mark has to work, but I have the day off. He has been cooking up a storm - so awesome! Made some salmon w/honey breaded topping the other day, along w/some acorn squash and safron rice! Had some italian cream cake from scratch for dessert! Right now food is very important to me - when I'm on steroids after an embolization, my appetite really increases! There are times though that I may be on an IV antibiotic that wipes my appetite away, and I will go the whole day w/nothing to eat but a baked potato or some broccoli w/cheese.
So, if Dr. Boynton's office is open tomorrow, I may call him to order some lab work and get a blood count on me since I've had bleeds all weekend. I may beg for some other kind of medicine to get rid of this ridiculous infection - the oral antibiotic is just not working and I don't need that distraction and discomfort on top of the bleeds! I haven't even seen anyone in my family since I've been back! I haven't felt well enough to go out to see them, although we talk or text several times a day. I'll probably see both Mom and Celia tomorrow. Celia will be going w/me on this next trip right around Valentines day!
I'm going to publish this and try and insert photos later. This blog has a new format that I can't figure out right now on how to insert a photo like I used to! Take Care!

(Bakersfield Californian) Blood stains are still visible on the sidewalk at the corner of Flower Street and Palm Drive, where a Bakersfield man struggled with as many as nine officers and later died this week.
David Sal Silva, 33 and the father of four young children, died early Wednesday morning after deputies say he fought with them and CHP officers who'd responded to a report of a possibly intoxicated man outside Kern Medical Center.
The Kern County Sheriff's Office says Silva resisted, a canine was deployed, more law enforcement arrived, batons were used and the man later had trouble breathing. He was taken to KMC, where he died. An autopsy was slated for Thursday, but no results have been released.

Some witnesses apparently took cellphone video of the incident but deputies moved quickly to seize the phones. The Sheriff's Office, after releasing a statement Wednesday and naming its officers Thursday, declined all further comment.

Survive and thrive: The do-it-yourself Charlottesville snow guide
With snow moving east or on the ground by the time you read it, this guide may already be too late. But if the snow gets your attention, then maybe this will help you salvage some semblance of health, sanity, safety, and fun–- at least for next time. The Hook news team has over 100 years of combined experience living in Charlottesville, and we thought we'd share with you some of what we've learned.
The value of a local hardware store - You may think you're prepared with a single shovel, but sometimes they break. So, like the sad sacks who procrastinated in buying theirs, you could find yourself queuing up for supplies. Or driving around and wrecking. Recommendation: buy extra shovels and stuff. Consider this: just as two bodies seem to create more than double the usual BTUs inside a sleeping bag, two snow shovels may prompt enough competition to perform more than twice the usual shoveling. Even if you push back your purchase, you may be in luck. Last winter, during the height of Snowmageddon (the February dump), Martin Hardware on Preston Avenue took delivery of 1,000 shovels to meet the demand. While it's quite possible that Lowe's will have its own sleighload of shovels, Lowe's doesn't feel like a hike-to location–- unless you're squatting in the nearby Chik-fil-A. For your convenience, we called area hardware stores on the afternoon of January 10: Meadowbrook said it had 500, Blue Ridge Builders Supply had 201, Tractor Supply counted just 8, and Crozet Hardware puts its tally at 268. (And Lowe's put us on a very long hold.)
Think beyond the D-cell - Although WINA1070 often stays on-air with weather updates, gone are the days when a few Evereadys and a transistor radio would get you through a storm. Today's hipsters want Facebook, Twitter, email, and a hot cup of java. But you may not have several thousand bucks to shell out for a whole-house generator; and even portable generators can be extremely disruptive to your hearing, and–- if you bring it inside–- to your life. So to get your personal electronics through a multi-day power outage, you need a battery-equipped recharger. Hook staff have enjoyed the "Charge Anywhere" by iGo. It's a portable product available for $39.99 online that'll provide one full phone charge. For longer outages, we suggest an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS. Typical models cost at least $100 and weigh several pounds because they're designed to provide enough current to power big stuff like laser printers and old-fashioned computers for 20 minutes. However, if you use a UPS more sparingly, you may be able to keep a smart phone and a cable or DSL modem clicking for days. And you just might be able to keep those Tweets flowing.
*Bummer alert: Designed for offices, these monsters contain built-in beepers that become so annoying you'll soon wonder whether you really want the emergency juice; and while most UPCs provide software to disable the alarm, we're still searching for one with an exterior kill switch.
Make your house dark-proof - If you haven't been through a power outage lately, you may have forgotten how dark is dark. (Pretty darn dark.) So we recommend dedicating an easy-to-find drawer for dark-fighting tools: matches, candles, flashlights, and extra batteries–- which should be rotated annually so they don't conk when you need 'em. Hook staffers also keep a camper's headlamp and even a few glowsticks in there for kids who might otherwise try to roam the home burning up flashlight batteries–- or toting a candle and burning up the house. This is why a kerosene lantern can be a helpful addition: its flame is shielded. Hook essayist Janis Jaquith swears by her $100+ Aladdin lamp that provides reading-level light. Once you've got your lights, then you can roam around for other goodies like your stash of Jack Daniels or 4Loko. And then you can get lit.
Sleep well - Last year a Hook staffer–- who experienced a three-day power outage that dropped his household temperature into the mid-40s–- actually had some of the most comfy sleeps of his life by piling blankets about six deep. In recent years, physicians have noted that people who sleep well protect their immune systems, and that's a good way to avoid getting a bad virus. Just last week, Charlottesville experienced a wave of alleged norovirus, an event that sent one local retirement home into a veritable lock-down. The latest research shows that sleep can do wonders for warding off body-invaders by many means including boosting the white blood cell count. Lesson: stock up on blankets.
Substitute stoves - If you live in an all-electric house and think you can't cook, think again. Typical Charlemarle suburbanites probably already have a sweet backup stove and oven. There it is out on the deck: the barbecue grill. And if you have a fireplace, you're really in luck. Just pluck a grill shelf from your lifeless electric oven and put it over the coals; and you'll be roasting veggies, burgers, etc. in no time. Even if your dwelling is too small for a barbecue grill or fireplace, you still can have a thriving stovetop, and we're not just talking Sterno here; we're talking about a Coleman camp stove. We prefer a double-burner propane model. Sears sells 'em. They're not much larger than a dictionary, and every hardware store sells the little propane fuel canisters.
Know the sidewalk rules - If you live within the city limits, you need to know about the new rules on shoveling sidewalks. After Police Chief Tim Longo refused to enforce the old law last year during the Snowpocalypse (the December dump), City Council rewrote the rules. You still have to clear the sidewalk adjoining your property within 24 hours of a snowfall; you're just not threatened with jail anymore. Think it's all talk? Remember that two- or three-incher on Thursday, December 16? City planning chief Jim Tolbert tells the Hook that in the aftermath, 24 property owners got citations–- which could top $75 each. And that's even though the enforcers didn't start looking for miscreants until Monday, December 20.
Traction Aids and tow ropes - Sometimes you have to hit the road, but when hundreds of cars are stranded (remember Routes 53, 250, and even U.S. 29 last winter?), the odds of getting a wrecker truck run about lottery level. But you can get yourself out of most minor quagmires with Traction Aids, steel thingies you shove under your tires. Don't buy the plastic knockoffs, as they don't dig in and tend to fall apart. Do place an online order for these $52-$64 all-steel superstars. And if you really want to feel certain of getting out of a ditch, shell out another $15-20 for a thick nylon tow rope. And then put your 4-wheel-drive friends on speed-dial.
Become a samaritan - If you operate a 4WD vehicle and want to spread good cheer (or even launch a money-making operation), you can simply haul people out of the mire with the two tools listed above. It's also a good idea to keep a shovel in the vehicle to get the tow vehicle's tires onto asphalt. You can work much faster if you have a trailer hitch, but you're gonna find that you have to wrap your rope around the axle of the stuck vehicle because, face it, the odds are that anybody who gets stuck in a little Virginia snow isn't gonna have a trailer hitch.
Order firewood early - Unless you have a wood stove insert, your fireplace is horrendously inefficient. But when power ceases, it can cook food (see above) and create lots of ceremonial warmth if not house-filling heat. Unless you bought lots of wood in the summer or fall, though, it might create nothing but heartache. Unlike nearly every other business in Central Virginia, no tree-chopper has yet successfully set up his business la retail with a website or a storefront–- it's typically just a guy with a cell phone. Hook staffers have taken delivery this fall from both Charlie Steger at 434-973-8499 and Frye's Firewood at 434-825-6203.
Have fun outside - Thanks to persistently chilly temperatures, this is the first winter in recent memory to offer the prospect of pond skating. While many Charlottesvillians hung up their ice skates after a shocking 1983 skating death, it's been nearly 30 years since 66-year-old former pastor and World War II commando Arie Bestebreurtje lost his life after falling through thin ice on the Rivanna Reservoir. Today's skaters can learn from his example to carry an ice-axe (preferably belt-mounted and safety-sheathed so you don't impale yourself), and a long rope to throw to a friend once you crash through. Okay, so that's a huge hassle. Thanks to a local entrepreneur, we still have indoor skating–- $10 for adults and $6 for kids–- at what's now called the Main Street Arena. Or you can just pretend you're a UVA student and run naked across the Lawn.
Stay safe from fire - There are a lot of arenas where it makes sense to leave things to the experts (dentistry comes immediately to mind). But with fire trucks often a 10-minute drive to your flaming residence, it's really not a bad idea to keep a long, well-drained garden hose near a threaded spigot. (Don't ask us why we know this, but we do.) More gravely, we should point out that fire officials stress that winter–- particularly during power outages–- is the prime time for fatal blazes. You may even recall that it was candles brought out after a power failure that may have ignited the 2003 fire that took two lives at the Clifton Inn. While some fire officials continue to brag about handing out free smoke detectors, the Hook's Courteney Stuart has long reported that not all smoke detectors quickly signal the smoky, smoldering fires that can fill lungs with debilitating fumes and eventually kill while you sleep. The ones fastest to catch the smoke use photoelectric technology. At risk of giving Martin Hardware a second plug, Martin has long carried photoelectrics. And your life could depend on them.
Befriend a tree man now or see Dominion later - This is something that has to be done long before the snow falls, and if you value your budget, you'll try to get Dominion Virginia Power to come do some judicious pruning before snow or ice brings limbs–- and your electricity–- down. It's not just electricity that you'll lose by avoiding a tree cutter. Precarious limbs over powerlines can take out your cable television, internet, and– if anyone still has 'em– land-line phones. "Any time there's snow and it's wet, it brings the branches closer to the wires," says Dominion spokesperson Frank Mack. He recommends keeping the main Dominion number handy: 866-366-4359 (866-DOM-HELP) so you can report precarious limbs. Or to report the results of not calling early.
Eat well - How many times have you heard people say, "The grocery stores were packed," or "On day three, he wrecked his car going out to buy milk"? Sorry, folks, but there's no longer any excuse to get trapped in either of these pits of procrastination and desperation. The invention of ultra-pasteurization means that you can stockpile milk for months. And everybody knows that canned soups can last for years–- along with rice, beans, beer, and water. But don't avoid fresh vegetables including potatoes and squash which can safely sit on a shelf for weeks. And your kids may think you're loony, but you can even safely drink the water in the back tank of the toilet. Also, it's a good idea to keep some protein powder or shakes around if you run low on cooking fuel. And let's not hear anybody claim their food rotted after the refrigerator conked. (That excuse only works in the summer.) Just put the food in a snowbank or–- if you live among wolves and bears–- in a bag hanging from a tree or out a window.

Thank you so much for this. The snow is now over my rooftop here in Charlottesville and we are contemplating eating the children. Right after we drink from the toilet. God bless.
Great article. The caption on the pruned tree is excellent!
Slippery slippery: roads, sidewalks, driveways, grass --Be careful ! City covered in thin sheet of ice. Maybe we should add ice shoe grippers to the list of survival tools.
@ Col. Forbin
I burst out laughing when I read your comment, then laughed for probably a good ten seconds after. That was hilarious. :D
Well not this time, but if you need reminding, and want to wake with a smile- take a look at this
Claude Hooper Bukowski: finds that it's groovy to hide in the movie, pretend he's Fellini or Antonioni or maybe his countryman Roman Polanski...
Great article with practical tips that are good not only for snow but for any weather related emergency.

Nice article for once. Kudos to you Mr. Spencer. I prefer Meadowbrook, but to each his own. The caption for the tree in reference to Dominion powerlines was classic, worthy almost of placement in the Economist. More wry, dry, cynical humour in the Hook is greatly desired and will be appreciated.
Hey -- how'd you know about my Aladdin lamp? (It truly is nifty. I bought it through Lehman's http://tinyurl.com/4rxeyms )
wow, another page filler, non-story and the cover looks like a 3rd grader did it. didn't you guys win some type of design award last year? what happened?

For starters, Mets' rotation among best in business
Even without Harvey, club's diverse array of pitchers churning out quality outings
NEW YORK -- Jon Niese considered it a moment, thinking back over his seven big league seasons. The longest-tenured member of the Mets' starting rotation, Niese has pitched alongside Johan Santana, R.A. Dickey, Matt Harvey and, briefly, even Pedro Martinez. He has experienced success firsthand and been a part of it.
But right now, Niese said, "We're pitching the best I've seen."
The Mets have transformed into one of the surprise teams in baseball thanks mostly to their starting rotation, whose 3.46 ERA through 25 games ranks sixth in the league. Statistically speaking, Mets starters are outperforming the 2013 group that featured Harvey's All-Star run. They are pitching better than the '12 Mets that rode Dickey to a National League Cy Young Award, and they are one-upping every Mets rotation from 2007-10 -- most of them by significant margins.
Go back further and comparisons grow fuzzy, considering Major League Baseball's supercharged offensive numbers throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. What's clear is that the Mets, through roughly one month of the regular season, could be looking at one of the best starting rotations in recent franchise history -- even without Harvey contributing, and with top prospects Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero still in the Minors.
"Obviously, they've been really, really good all year so far," catcher Anthony Recker said. "We've got guys that have tremendous stuff. We've got guys that have tremendous experience. We've got guys with tremendous ability on the mound, mentally tough. So we have a mix of guys that they can really do it all."
At least part of the Mets' early success, Recker said, takes roots in their diversity. No two Mets starters are alike.
There is Niese, the lone left-hander, whose signature pitch is his overhand curveball. There is 40-year-old veteran Bartolo Colon, who relies almost exclusively on an array of well-spotted fastballs. There is Dillon Gee, a relatively soft thrower whose best pitch is a changeup. There is Zack Wheeler, the hardest-throwing member of the staff and the closest thing the Mets have to a modern-day fastball-slider guy. And there is Jenrry Mejia, whose best weapon has always been the natural cut on his four-seamer.
Other than Wheeler and Mejia, who are somewhat similar in their arsenals, no two Mets pitchers attack opponents the same. That's difficult to find in a five-man rotation.
Recker, whose job is to study pitchers, used the Marlins as a counterexample. Miami features a quartet of right-handers who rely most heavily on low- to mid-90s fastballs and mid-80s sliders, making them easier to prepare for as a group. Teams can't do the same with the Mets.
David Wright, whose Mets tenure dates back longer than anyone's, believes the rotation also owes at least some success to the fact that four of its members are homegrown. Mets starters have spoken often this season about their friendly competition, their desire to one-up each other week by week. Many teams are like that, but the homegrown Mets have been doing it as a unit for years.
"I think there's a little something extra when you're with a lot of the same faces that you came up in the system with," Wright said. "You want to let the organization know that they made the right choice."
Mostly, though, the Mets are just flat-out succeeding. Colon is a former Cy Young winner who won 18 games and led the league in shutouts last year. Wheeler is one year removed from his status as one of the top prospects in baseball. Niese and Gee have been above-average starters for years now, while Mejia has always oozed potential.
The result has been a group with a 3.46 ERA. Take out Colon's one bad start in Anaheim, in which he allowed nine runs in five innings, and that mark drops to 3.04. Remove Mejia's meltdown against the Marlins on Saturday and it plummets even further, to 2.79 in 23 games.
Because the Mets don't have an obvious ace with Harvey on the disabled list, their rotation does not receive the same type of national acclaim as the Cardinals, Dodgers and other top groups in baseball. But where would the Mets be without this starting five? Their bullpen ranks in the bottom third of the league. Their offense is last or close to it in many offensive categories.
The Mets, in other words, are playing winning baseball because their rotation keeps on ticking.
"We're not exactly ripping the cover off the ball," Wright said. "We're getting some big hits when we need them, but we feel pretty confident that if we put a couple crooked numbers up that we're going to get the win, especially with the way these guys are throwing.
"I said it in Spring Training -- that we were going to have to lean on our starting pitching, and they haven't disappointed, that's for sure. We are where we are right now because of them."

Once Upon a Time Rethought: Writing Fractured Fairy Tales
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Five 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Urbana, Illinois
Students work together to craft a list of common fairy tale elements in order to determine what makes a fairy tale a fairy tale. They then explore and analyze a variety of tales, recording their information using a story map. The story map becomes a launching point for students' own fairy tales. Students use the characteristics of a known tale and change one of the literary elements to create a new tale, which includes a different set of characters, has a new setting, or includes a changed conflict or resolution. Finally, students publish and illustrate their new fractured fairy tales for others to enjoy.
Fractured Fairy Tales Booklist: This sheet provides a list of fractured fairy tales based on the Cinderella, Goldilocks, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Pigs, and other stories.
Story Map Interactive: Use this online tool to map out the elements of students' original writing. The tool can also be used to analyze the characters, plot, and setting of a piece of literature.
Story mapping activities, also called story grammars, are a technique for using graphic representations to explore elements of a reading working toward increased comprehension. As Margaret Foley warns in her "The (Un)Making of a Reader," however, teachers must guard against allowing story mapping to become a "self-monitoring system for story reading which inhibits [students'] potential to explore a diverse range of personal responses" (510). Pointing to Foucault, Foley explains that when story mapping becomes an unyielding framework that all must follow, we lose the opportunity to engage students with texts authentically.
In this activity, students use online story mapping to analyze fairy tales, as well as to gather and organize ideas for rewriting a fairy tale. Story mapping is part of a reading process that also includes reflection and personal rethinking of the text elements as well as part of the writing process that allows students to extend and engage the features of the stories that they explore and write. In this way, students can explore the benefits of story mapping without losing the opportunity to read and respond to texts personally.
