For some reason, even though I have read the novel multiple times, Melville's description of the Pequod surprises me every time. I've seen so many pieces of historical nautical and whaling art that eventually the ships all seem to look rather similar. The same sort of planked sides, railings along the deck, lots of ropes and masts and so on. Honestly, this kind of imagery is now so common to most people that it's not uncommon to see it on everything from beer bottle labels to tractor trailer trucks.
I think most readers come to the Pequod expecting just that same kind of beer bottle label, tractor trailer truck wooden sailing ship. Something they, in their mind's eye, can see so clearly that the mere presence of a rather detailed description can seem a little surprising. It's the nature of that description and those details though which always surprises me and ignites my imagination. For rather than a simple, dull whaling vessel, Melville describes the Pequod as "a ship of the old school, rather small if anything; with an old fashioned claw-footed look about her." Let that sink in for a moment. "Rather small, if anything…" Small! Given its central role in a story as massive, as epic, as Biblical in scope as Moby-Dick, who would imagine that the outer boundaries of this wooden island that becomes the sailors' entire world would shrink to the size of a "rather small" ship for years on end?
Melville then goes on at length about her "antiquities" such as the bearded bows, the stiff Japanese masts standing up like the "spines of the three old kings of Cologne," her ancient decodes wrinkled "like the pilgrim-worshiped flag-stone in Canterbury Cathedral where Beckett bled" and so on. But then it starts to get really interesting, and the Pequod begins to seem a thing of fantasy. Melville describes how Peleg has "built upon her original grotesqueness, and inlaid it, all over…" This Pequod is "appareled like any barbaric Ethiopian emperor…a thing of trophies. A cannibal of a craft, tricking herself forth in the chased bones of her enemies." Now let the mind slowly turn, imagining a machine built for the sole purpose of sailing the seas, battling whales, and rendering them into oil. Take this machine and inlay it with grotesque designs. Upon those inlays, set the bones of the very leviathans the machine has slain. A magnificent image should even now be forming in your mind.
Melville finished the description beautifully by describing how these same whale bones and teeth are not just grotesque, not simply design elements, and not even just trophies of the Pequod's brutal hunts, but functional tools and devices themselves. The bulwarks are garnished "like one continuous jaw, with the long sharp teeth of the Sperm Whale, inserted there for pins, to fasten her old hempen thews and tendons to." And the all important tiller is "in one mass curiously carved from the long narrow lower jaw of her hereditary foe." The very jaw of a whale steers that same ship which hunts and destroys whales. The whole, beautiful, grotesque paragraph concludes with the line "A noble craft, but somehow a most melancholy! All noble things are touched with that." Quite a description and a rather daunting task.
As always, when beginning an illustration, I simply unmoor my mind and let thoughts and images roll unbidden through it. Again, betraying my admittedly less-than-fine art background, my first thoughts were of the astonishing pen and ink art of Ian Miller, particularly his spot illustrations for the early mass market paperback edition of Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead, the beautifully stylized comic art of Philippe Druillet, and, for some reason, the ship that Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon and Erekose sailed on in Michael Moorcock's The Sailor on the Seas of Fate.
An aside here. When Daryl invited me to post on this blog, I was honored but nervous. After several posts, those feelings remain. I have been awed by the level of discourse and critical analysis evident in so much of this writing. At times I worry that these crude simple illustrations of mine as well as my own level of engagement with the novel and its themes seem pedestrian at best and immature at worst. And in this post, given my own comparison of the Pequod to a ship from a 1970s pulp fantasy novel series as literarily complex as Conan and, well, you can probably understand some of my nervousness. Nonetheless, one of the things which has sustained me through 274 pieces of art and counting has been an honest commitment to my own personal vision uncluttered by deconstruction or comparison to the greater body of Melville-related art. I'll leave that part to the experts.
So with Miller, Druillet and Moorcock in mind, I began to craft my own Pequod. Again layering the images over an electrical diagram, I started with a ballpoint pen mostly because I wanted the color of the ship to stand out just a bit against the color of the background. I knew I would have a dismal time of it if I tried to keep things realistic, so I again threw all caution to the wind and drew the ship exactly as I saw it. I knew it would have planks and masts and decks and chains but the rest was up to me. I wanted my Pequod to seem savage, barbaric, exotic, and alive. An old, wily, hungry, jaded killer. Nothing about the Pequod seemed to me to be gentle, kind, or even necessarily noble. It was a creature of function, every line and every element had to contribute to creating an image of violence and predation. It had to be squat, rather ugly, yet still lethal and fearsome. Here's what resulted…
Later I had the opportunity to expand on the details of the craft so I chose to rather elaborately highlight the strange sea beast skull that I had adorned the prow with…
Even though I've only been able to lavish this level of detail on the Pequod in two pieces, I have enjoyed the task of visualizing each of the ships described in the text so far. Here is the Goney…
…and here is the Town-Ho.
And I look forward to the Jeroboam, the Rose-Bud, the Bachelor, and of course the doomed Rachel. But those are stories for another day.

Mr COOPER , we are the 23 rd of august and syrian aviaiton is stricking rastan / homs area . please sir , note this as if something happens to me , i want the world to know what assad regime is doing to his peaceful people . again you can confirm this information , but i assure you sir , i know what am hearing , so does my neighbors , i dont know what will happen to us .. but i saw how you talked with Mr Jaafary and i admire your courage , if i had the chance in here i would have done the same thing . Sir please , do not neglige this information by the time the world will talk about it it will be already finished !!! help us please
Thank you Mr. Anderson from heart. It's a lot going on! terrible situation... Criminal Bashar Assad the dog of Ali Khamenei in Iran. Freedom for Syria and Iran. look how funny above those how call themselves "pro-Bashar" e-soldiars for money! (BTW Bashar Ja'afari is Iranian and he is born in Asfahan Iran – wikipidia).
Anderson .. I can never thank you enough for exposing all the lies the Syrian Regime have been spreading against the truth we Syrians have been shouting for the last six months,and our fathers before us for the last 30 years ... We shed our blood in price for freedom we deserve, some of the best young men in the country are now gone forever because of a dictator who refuses to abide by the law of his country, and the law of humanity ,
That Ja'afari man is a parrot, repeating the same hollow words over and over.. I just wish I would live long enough to see him swallow his tongue.
Thank you Anderson!
thank you Mr. Cooper for showing the world what the criminal regime is doing to our families in syria, as a thank you you were listed on the Syrian revolution's honor list along with people how supported our demand for freedom and democracy.
When, 'Greed" is taken out of the equation – this world would be a more stable planet to live on. But, that would be wishful thinking
Mr. Cooper, I have watched your reports regarding Syria. I wonder how Social Media might have influenced the overtake of the Cuban government back in 1959-1961 and the number of people Castro's murdered. I realized Batista also murdered. Neither was right. But at what cost?
Thank you from all of the Syrian hearts for saying the truth and for standing up for their rights
Dear Mr. Anderson:
I am a Syrian-American women who has been living in the US for the last 25 years. You have been trying to report what is going on in the middle east of what it is called the arab spring ever since it started. However, I am surprise with the unprofessionalism and the lake of the crediblity in most of your reports. The world is getting smaller and smaller and the information travel very fast. I have relatives and friends to whom I talked often and they all said that they are sick and tired from all the lies that CNN is trying to report. CNN needs to respect its viewrs and report the news not make it.
Well Anderson, it looks like you made up your mind and you took one side on what is going on in Syria. Don't you think you should be open minded and at least pretend that you are listing to the people you are interviewing? I think you as a journalist, should not take side and always try to look for the truth. You already made up your mind and you are accusing and not interviewing your guest. Please try to be objective, just a little bit would help.
Dear Mr. Cooper,
I was very pleased to watch your interview with the Syrian Ambassador on AC360. During the interview, the Ambassador referred to the Syrian people as his people. It is difficult for me to take this statement honestly and seriously in view of the vivid videos of the atrocities in Syria which is by the regime he represents. Any regime that could use gunships on its people has divorced itself from those people and do not have the right to be in office. It always seems to surprise me at the depth of degradation that humanity could sink for political reasons. Thank you for doing this interview and not to accept the misleading information provided by the Syrian Ambassador. Anderson, let the facts speak for its' self and hold the perpetrators accountable. You do it so well.
By the way, the brake down on national television last night was not pretty, don't do it again.
I am sick.....shame on Syria!!! 2 year old babies shot....dead bodies having to be drug by ropes to thier families who themselves are being shot at.....and he DENIES IT!! INFURIATING! Come on United Nations.....DO SOMETHING!
Anderson... you're an incredibly reputable and accomplished reporter. I have admired your down-to-earth and in-depth reporting for years. But for the first time in my life, after viewing that little girl on a sidewalk in Damascus, after being shot in the eye from the crossfire of mad-men, I was absolutely reduced to tears. I understand what your goal is in creating a vivid and compelling message of the plight among Syrian protesters, but this was not necessary.
There are plenty of your viewers, Anderson, who can fully appreciate and comprehend the sheer magnitude of suffering in Syria, and other areas you report from in the world.
Please... please refrain from showing the footage of this child- it's simply too heart wrenching.
Thank you Mr. Cooper for all your efforts to reveal the truth and show the reality of what is happening in Syria.
Thank you Anderson for grilling this Syrian government thug., you really cornered him, he looked lost.
Mr. Anderson,
You nailed him.. a kid can see how much Bashar is lying !
you know that those people supporting bashar will not be convinced by logic because it is a religious thing.. they are a part of bashar's sect, and they are threatened by the dead squads.. Things now are clear to the whole world and more pressure should be underway. Thank you again and I hope to see more of this reports. Man there are videos of shooting in the head on protestors more than the one you showed..
Thanks for being the angel of truth that flew and captured the reality of what happened
This lier represents Al Assad's bloody regime. they have been killing kids since 6 months just because they asked for freedom. thank you Anderson from all syrian people
what a waste of time....lies lies lies and more lies....omg until when politicians overseas cover up all......until when USA gets blame....
Thank you Anderson for keeping the world honest !!! You were so right about everything you said to the despicable Syrian representative.
God Bless.
I love your show and your dedication to the truth . Thank you
Thank you Mr Cooper for speaking the truth and stand up for the hopeless, we are a group of Syrian Americans organization from NJ that lived through this horrible ruthless Syrian regime, and we know and experienced what a dictatorship like the existing Bashar Al Assad and his thugs can do, from killing to torture to rapes, to all kind of atrocities.
On behalf of myself and hundreds of others we thank you from the bottom of our heart.
Thank youand Gopdbless you
zaher Al Shamee
Cooper, thank you, you ROCK!
Bashar Jaafary: aren't you ashamed of your self, you are the biggest liar I have ever heard!
Thank you Anderson for exposing this criminal and deceiving regime. The Syrian regime is committing crime against humanity everyday and lying about as you can see insulting any free intelligent person in the wold.This has to stop, please call on the UN and the NATO to protect the Syrian people to avoid a major catastrophe in that whole region.
no wander CNN is number " last" news organization in the country this days. getting information from fake videos and " eye witnesses" who live in US about something is going on in syria is like a deaf in a concert.
for who does not know, what is going on in syria is a goverment reaction toward syrian Al-Qaeda and the new Taliban who is being supported by Saudi Arabia radical king family. The same family who has been giving money to Bakistani intelligence to hide Ben Laden and other high rank terrorist from justice and from the US army. Why I dont see this legitamet information making headline news, I dont know, must not be as important as attacking the effort of a country to restore order in the street, like what england did. FYI, also, the reason why US found Ben Laden is because one of the high ranked Bakistani officer granted a political asylum in USA with 25 milion dollars as price for ben laden head before he give them the exact location and information about his location. here we go, Anderson, go and try to investigate this facts, but try not to loose your jobe because of that. good luck.
Thank you Anderson Cooper.........what a refreshing moment for all. With so much bad news and stress in our country, it really felt great to laugh and cry with you. It was good medicine......
Thank you Anderson Cooper for uncovering the lies of the Syrian regime. Thank you for standing by the truth. It is despicable that the Syrian government continues to kill its own citizens ruthlessly and does not allow journalists to freely report in Syria. Thank you again and keep up the good work!!
Dear Anderson,
Thank you for standing up for human rights. I really enjoyed your interview with Bashar Ja'afari. It was very clear that he was hiding the truth. Please do not forget the Iranian people that are suffering under the Islamic regime in IRAN. Islamic regime is supproting the syrian government and doing alot worse to iranian people inside IRAN. Even worse than Syrian government.
Thank you
Kambiz Moridi
Rock on Anderson, keep 'em honest.
Anderson, Thank you for standing up to the Syrian ambassador. I cannot believe there is not a greater outcry from Americans about this horrifying situation. I thank you for standing up for the people but especially for the children who have been tortured and killed there. I think you and the rest of the media need to keep publishing and broadcasting the horrific photos and video until the world rises in unison to drive away Assad.
Thank you Mr Cooper for standing with the truth and making a fool of the ambassador of the Assad regime
Good job AC Marc twain said if you tell the truth you don't have to remember any thing ,not one single video of demonstrators carrying weapon was ever seen the demonstrators have kept their promise to keep it peaceful despite the biggest crackdown in the history of man kind
The images and video we have seen coming out of Syria is absolutely alarming! but the method in which Anderson conducted this interview was unprofessional!
Hell of a job Anderson. Good reporting, you threw reality and truth right to his face and over the air. Good Job my friend. This is what good journalism is about.
I am sorry to see Anderson believe that he can lecture people of other countries. The interview clearly shows he has taken sides. What happened to real journalism? I don't want to hear Anderson's opinion, I wanted to hear that of the Ambassador. American media is way to concerned with telling countries of the world what they they should do, you have absolutely no qualification or legitimacy, please do not lecture us!
Anderson, Though your stance regarding Syria and the Syrian crack-down on peaceful demonstrations is correct, I find your confrontational approach and relatively one-sided opinions to be contrary to your general objectives. Yes, there are countless examples of Syrian forces detaining, injuring, and even killing peaceful protestors, however, your attacks on the Syrian ambassador the the UN are counterproductive in that they fail to acknowledge the hypocrisy of any American journalist that seeks to criticize the control approach the Syrian government has taken in regard to this issue. Let us not forget that for the past 10 years the United States has blamed both real and phantom terrorist organizations for a wide range of incidences and has used the existence of these organizations as justification for the suppression or outright elimination of many civil liberties and rights – including the right to free speech and a free media. Take, for example, the role of the media in the War in Iraq. How many CNN reporters were permitted to travel freely to the front-lines? How many CNN reporters were permitted to report freely without their footage first being reviewed and approved by the US government? I believe the answer to this question is the exact same as the number of CNN reporters that have been permitted to report frely on the Syria crisis from within Syria. 0.
So Anderson, though you are correct in criticizing and denouncing the Syrian government and Syrian ambassador, you are fundamentally flawed and therefore in your approach. You may wish to denounce this as bias, however, this notion of "free-journalism" which you so proudly preach on your progam neither exists in Syria nor in the United States.
So please, take the appropriate stance, but stop being a hypocrite!
AC,, I just want to say that you did a great job on the interview with Bashar Ja'afari, Syria's ambassador to the United Nations. Please keep up a good work and we love your show.

Pastor Marvin Winans explains why Whitney Houston's funeral should be a private affair, not a public spectacle. Anderson Cooper spoke with him in an exclusive interview.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: 360° Interview • Whitney Houston
The Price of being Great & Exceptional has costs that are sometimes unbearable & in many instances carries baggage,one cannot readily rid itself from. The cost of loneliness, self inflicted pressure and constant expectancy of perfection can eat away at a persons Freedom, one can only imagine what cause & cross this poor soul carried. That being said, we should all be reminded that SUCCESS can at times be a greater THORN in life than failure, nobody wants to wake up and fail! The press can not take away the many accomplishments and contibutions to society and local communities this young person involved herself in, nor can it every enter any groove od a recording or track on a tape, the demons are now gone and it's time for her to Sing in Heaven, RIP Whitney, you were something else!!
I dont think you read these comments but perhaps you will glance this way by chance , I think we saw the best TV of all times in the Home going service of Whitney Huston , but I can not understand why Kevin C. who delivered a touching and power condolence and was one of my favorites, has not made a public apology for cussing in a consecrated pulpit , I'm no uptight person (arguably ) but as a decent man I think he should and as a member of a community that still hold the church in high esteem , I find it not out off harness to ask that an apology be so rendered ....
To us she is an angel among humans then and now. Earlier, I mentioned I had an interaction with someone "claiming" to have had interactions with Cissy and Whitney Houston; Mr Sam Vine. Although, I do believe Mr. Vine, I do feel a need to supercede that mention with one more notable: I had the privilege to have met Kevin Costner and his "then" wife while he was in Syracuse for her, I believe, class reunion. We spoke in a quiet and private environment. Imagine, I know firsthand, he kissed her... This morning, I woke singing a Whitney Houston ballad.
It amazes me that after 30 years of entertaining the public, Whitney houston will be eulogized privately; Among family, friends and entertainers. I agree with some of Pastor Winans comments, but I disagree with the comment made towards the insensitiveness of the Media in lieu of this tragic event. Entertainers are just that, they entertain and make friends with the public. The media's Job is to report and when you have a public lifestyle, you remain in the public eye. The insensitive part in all of this is that no one was there to tell her the Truth about herself whether public or private. The Bible says to whom much is given, much is required. Why is the media wrong for doing their job? They're not turned away when an entertainer is performing, in fact it's welcomed. Now those that made Whitney who she is, her fans, want to find peace and closure along with the family. No more shifting the blame. It is what it is and she is now gone. I commend the media for the great coverage and the information provided. Keep doing what you're doing, perhaps we can save others in the future before it gets this far.
I totallyagree with you...I don't understand why they would do her fans like this...
He's a pastor and should know that the feeling that "this person belongs to me or us" is a common feeling when a loved one dies. As is wondering what more you could have done. I respect that Whitney is his family but it is absolutely wrong of him to assume people loved her only for her music or that we also didn't have a feeling that she was our family and we loved her as such. We loved her when she sang well and when she didn't. We loved her when she was sober and we loved her more when she wasn't. I can only image how frustrating thousands of people would be at a time like this, but perhaps a little kindness and gratitude would be better received..
Thank you Anderson Cooper for interviewing Pastor Winans!..Great interview!..Thank you Pastor Winans for giving Anderson the interview. It was done with such class.
when is about life i like to talk ..but when is about death ..is difficult and yes we forget what is love what is respect what is frend and family.. just money money ..is sad for her she was young...for me she did not have somebody close to her to help..and olso i am not agree she was strong .."she was not strong charachter because if was ..she will in life in this moment..together with her daughter.
It would have been nice if those who now identify themselves as close friends of Whitney and/or Whitney's family to have assisted her in life so that she could "Live with dignity"...It appears as if she didn't "live with dignity", didn't "die with dignity", but now all of a sudden,it's important to bury her with dignity....I guess better late than never!!!! I don't believe that that is a reason to exclude those who made her a star "with or without dignity!"
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Supernatural: Defending Sam Winchester
Finding Kevin, closing the gates of Hell - Who can focus on all that when there's a much bigger issue at hand: that of Sam Winchester's (Jared Padalecki) very questionable year off? The biggest problem many Supernaturalviewers (myself, included) have had with Jeremy Carver's debut season as showrunner is how Sam moved on after Dean's disappearance without an apparent second thought.
PHOTOS: Those poor Winchester boys!
While it's easy to get angry at Sam (just look at Dean) or write off his behavior as the symptom of a spell, brainwashing or some other supernatural hex (usually theorized to be caused by Sam's former girlfriend Amelia), maybe it's time we start accepting what might be a hard truth to swallow: that Sam took a year off because that's what he wanted - and needed - to do. And you know what? Maybe that's not so bad.
At first, Sam's actions seem out of character for the devoted brother, but after years of constant loss and sacrifice, it's possible Sammy just couldn't face everything alone. Our beloved Moose has always teetered precariously on the edge of a complete mental break (it was only last season that he was locked up in the loony bin). So while disappointing, it's not unheard of that Sam broke down and gave up for a while because honestly, who wouldn't?
Sam has been to Hell and back literally and even played host to the devil himself, but he always kept going until now. Cut the guy some slack.
Fall TV Report Card: How's the new class doing?
Running away from his problems doesn't necessarily make him a bad person or a bad brother. It makes him human, a fact that's easy to forget in the midst of all the supernatural mumbo jumbo the Winchesters marinate in. Plus, it became pretty clear in "Hunteri Heroici" that Sam didn't simply forget Dean (Jensen Ackles) and live happily ever after. "I lost him, and I ran," Sam confessed, exposing the wounded baby bird that he's become.
But Dean doesn't seem to notice his brother's pain. He's far too busy with his own inner turmoil and guilt to recognize anyone else's. Saint Dean has always had a hard time accepting the good in life, preferring to assume the worst and dwell on the bad, and now it seems his inability to do so might be stopping Sammy's ability to find happiness, as well.
Boy Meets World is getting a sequel. Which other shows should reunite?
Hunting was never a life Sam wanted. As soon as he could get away from John and the family business, Sam did the unthinkable for a Winchester: he settled down and was (gasp) happy! When Dean crashed back into his life in the pilot, Sam's entire life was diverted to accommodate the needs of his brother, his father and the millions of people whose lives he saved. Sam changed everything for others, including his very person (oh Soulless Sam, how I don't miss you - except when you do shirtless pull-ups. I do miss that a bit).
When Sam told Dean in "Heartache" that he was done with hunting, it was only the most recent in a string of pleas for retirement. In one of most memorable, from Season 1's "Shadow," Sam told his brother: "I'm not going to live this life forever. Dean, when this is all over, you're going to have to let me go my own way."

Of course, Dean didn't let him go. But Dean never lets anything go. Be it a grudge, Sammy or the ghost of Bobby - the broodiest brother is an emotional hoarder. Dean never seems to get it through that thick, but beautiful, skull of his that though the demons might always be there, other things can change, sometimes even for the better.
But Dean was never one to listen to authority, so maybe that's why he seems to have learned nothing from Bobby's final lesson: "When it's your time, go." How many times has the brothers' inability to accept death caused them nothing but trouble? Vengeful Bobby, Dean's trip to Hell, Sam's flayed soul and shattered mind - the list goes on.

And Bobby wasn't the first person to attempt to teach the Winchesters this crucial lesson. The Trickster also tried to drop some knowledge on the boys in Season 3: "The way you two keep sacrificing yourselves for each other? Nothing good comes out of it. Just blood and pain... Sometimes, you just gotta let people go."
Back then, Sam didn't listen. He spent an entire year trying to rescue Dean from Hell and nearly went crazy in the process. (He even considered Dean living on like a runway-ready Frankenstein!) Maybe Sam finally realized the Trickster had it right: that it was time to start letting go and live his own life.
Unfortunately, Dean didn't get the memo: "I don't know about you, but this last year's given me a new perspective. I know where I'm at my best, which is right here, driving down crazy street next to you."

Oh, Dean. Don't you see? What's best for you and what's best for your brother might not be the same thing! Sam wants to educate himself, get out of the drifter life and create a home of his own - a home Dean once had.
Yes, I haven't forgotten that Sam isn't the only one to take a year off hunting to play house. While Soulless Sam was off hunting with the Campbells, Dean was set up nice and cozy with Lisa and Ben. And when Sam did come back into his life, Dean tried to balance the two worlds, a luxury he doesn't seem to offer Sammy. "You took a year off to do yoga and play the lute, whatever," Dean told his brother (at a farmer's market, no less). "But I'm back. We're back. Which means that we walk and kill monsters at the same time."
What? If they can walk and kill monsters, why can't they can't shop organically and kill monsters at the same time, too? Maybe if the brother's just communicated they'd be able to understand where each other are coming from and find a compromise. Though, that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
Do you think Sam had the right to take a year off while Dean was in Purgatory? Or should he have continued to search for his brother?

We will be discussing trends in Early-Stage Investing, hot sectors, sectors that these Angels and VCs look at, things that are most important to them when they are considering an Investment, the best and worst things an entrepreneur can do to get their attention, additional advice for entrepreneurs, and, of course, the best ways to reach these and other Investors. There will be plenty of time for networking with the Investor panelists, both before the panel & after the panel at the Cocktail Party!
As an additional benefit, entrepreneur 1/4 page summaries will be given to the investor speakers and attendees. All of the Investors will get your company description and contact info!

Additionally, there will be an Optional Pitching Workshop Lunch from 11am-1pm. The cost to participate will be $355. This Lunch Workshop includes the $90 ticket to the event.

I bought a MITSUBISHI servo motor brand new (prestime original package) that was delivered without any issues. It is working PERFECTELY!! Please be advised that they sell PARTS.

Allways be extremely certain that you know the root cause of the failure - otherwise you may replace a part that fails shortly after replacement ( and blame the PARTS suplier... )

Beyond bizarre: University of Graz music professor calls for skeptic death sentences (2012-12-23). Did you hear the one about the German music professor who thinks denialists should be executed? Anthony Watts heard it from Australian denialist Jo Nova (the "German" professor is actually Australian) and it's hilarious!
Seems that Professor Richard Parncutt suggested in a rambling web essay that "the death penalty is an appropriate punishment for influential GW deniers" for "causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of future people" through their delaying tactics! Except he's "not directly suggesting that the threat of execution be carried out."
Of course this means that Anthony's foes at Skeptical Science and DeSmogBlog are "motiviating [sp] this man's hate"! Except of course that they haven't. Professor Parncutt simply lists Skeptical Science and DeSmogBlog in passing as accurate resources for climate science information.
So it's down to complaining about random members of the public now, is it Anthony?

Color Options from American Patchwork & Quilting February 2012
Designer: Kimberly Walus
Just like the ride at an amusement park, these playful blocks seem to spin around and around. A medley of colorful prints-both 1930s reproductions and modern brights-creates a scrappy look that's fun for all.
Merry-Go-Round Color Option
Nautical Pinwheels Quilt
Novelty prints take Merry-Go-Round from the amusement park to the beach. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke made pinwheels pop by using the same navy blue print and crisp white for the large triangle-squares in her four-block quilt. She fussy-cut bottle cap designs for the 2-1/2" sashing squares. If you're having difficulty coordinating fabrics, start with a multicolor print, such as the faux pieced plaid Laura used for the outer border, and use it to help select prints. Fabrics are from the Going Coastal collection by Emily Herrick for Michael Miller Fabrics.
Building Blocks
Designer: Jinny Beyer
Take baby steps on your path to learning hand piecing with a crib quilt composed nearly entirely of diamonds. Careful color placement creates the illusion of cubes.
Building Blocks Color Option
Instead of a secondary cubic design, interlocking hexagons emerge in quilt tester Laura Boehnke's smaller version. To get the look, cut diamonds from striped fabric and assemble them in groups of three within the larger hexagon units. Orange diamonds provide a punch of color when interspersed among low-contrast prints. Fabrics are from the Bohemian collection by Annette Tatum for FreeSpirit.
Floating Stars
Quilt Collector: Julie Hendricksen
Make a splash with red and white by re-creating this stunning antique Lone Star quilt. The corner Blazing Star blocks seem to float on a sea of white.
Floating Stars Color Option
Blazing Stars Wall Quilt
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke combined four Blazing Star blocks for a striking wall hanging. Instead of creating a floating look with white, she defined each block with a contrasting border. By using prints with metallic stripes, the star points seem to radiate light. Fabrics are from the Maestro collection by Kathy Hall and the Big Beautiful Bus collection by Lonni Rossi, both from Andover Fabrics.
Center Stage
Designer: Laurie Simpson of Minick and Simpson
If the appliquéd medallion is the star of this red-and-white wall hanging, the pieced borders are the supporting players. Create your own show-stealing version with fusible machine appliqué.
Center Stage Color Option
Botanical Batiks Wall Quilt
The botanical-style appliqué and pieced borders of Center Stage get Hawaiian flair when made in a palette of jewel-tone batiks. By using lights and darks in similar colorways for the Flying Geese units and hourglass blocks, quilt tester Laura Boehnke gives the borders added dimension and equal play. Fabrics are from the Bali Handpaints collection from Hoffman California Fabrics.
Pick from the Past
Designer: Marcie Patch of Patchalot Patterns
No two star blocks are alike when you raid your stash for an array of Civil War reproduction prints to piece a scrappy bed-size quilt.
Pick from the Past Color Option
Simple Stars Baby Quilt
For a quick-to-make baby quilt, make eight star blocks as quilt tester Laura Boehnke did, setting them off with a novelty print in the vertical sashing. Laura replaced the top and bottom triangle-square borders with fussy-cut strips from a border print (where the border design is printed parallel to the selvages) to enhance the train theme. Fabrics are from Richard Neuman's Choo Choo You collection and Kinkame's Toy Poodle collection, both from Clothworks.
Fabric Fusion
Designers: Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle of FunQuilts/Modern Quilt Studio
Why limit your fabric choices? Combine styles-traditional, floral, modern, or even hand-dyed-based on color, scale, and intensity, and unite them with skinny sashing.
Fabric Fusion Color Option
Flannel Rectangles Wall Quilt
Quilt tester Laura Boehnke experimented with flannels in shades of brown and green to give her version a cozy camouflage look. New to sewing with flannel? Take our advice: Prewash flannels because they tend to shrink. Since flannel is a medium-weight fabric, use a larger needle, such as 90/14. Flannel also has a tendency to stretch, so pin more than you normally would or stitch with a walking foot. Fabrics are from the Tailor Made collection from Timeless Treasures Fabrics.
Butterscotch Squares
Designer: Corey Yoder of Little Miss Shabby
What a treat! Piecing, easy fusible appliqué, and big-stitch quilting are the ingredients in this delightful throw containing two complementary blocks.
Butterscotch Squares Color Option
Petal Appliqués Wall Quilt
Petal appliqués machine-zigzag-stitched with dark turquoise thread climb a trellis made of gray and brown prints in quilt tester Laura Boehnke's version of Butterscotch Squares. By using prints instead of the butterscotch solid for block backgrounds, Laura gave each block subtle depth. She used her design wall to ensure the triangles in each A block match the triangles in adjacent B blocks. Fabrics include the Revive collection and other coordinating prints from Art Gallery Fabrics.

Mini review of the iPhone
Spend five minutes with the new iPhone and your fingers will want to play with it for hours. That's how I felt while holding the iPhone for a few minutes Friday at the AT&T store on East State Street.
Only a slight caress of the scroll bars are needed to search your contacts, photos and album covers. At first, I was too abrasive. I touched each of the widgets, from weather, to stocks, to the camera feature and photos. My tapping then became pressing and that's when the device locked on me.
Use only a soft touch on this device, I was told. "Pet it like you would pet your cat, a store employee said. He was right, and I was happily scrolling along, this time through the iPod feature, which is really what this product is for, right?
The iPhone looks and feels fragile, but once you get over the initial shock of this super high-tech phone, it really is a toy that can take pictures and play music. A personal assistant can help you locate addresses, avoid traffic and find directions. And, oh yeah, it's a cellular phone, too.

How quickly does lung cancer develop for smokers?
Every weekday, a CNNHealth expert doctor answers a viewer question. On Wednesdays, it's Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society.
I started smoking socially in high school and still do. How long would it take for someone like me develop lung cancer?
Asked by Tom of Cleveland
Expert Answer
Dear Tom,
There have been several questions about smoking recently. I thought your question really important. In answer to it, there is no such thing as a safe amount of cigarette smoking. I urge you to quit. Studies show that it is far easier for a light smoker to quit than someone who smokes a pack and a half or more per day.
Also keep in mind there is no such thing as a safer cigarette. The risk of lung cancer does increase with both the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the number of years a person has smoked. A 35-year-old male who smokes fewer than 25 cigarettes per day is estimated to have a 9% lifetime chance of dying of lung cancer, whereas 25 cigarettes per day or more gives him an 18% lifetime chance of dying of lung cancer. There are some estimates that lifetime risk of lung cancer in a very heavy smoker is about 30% overall, whereas it is 1% or less in nonsmokers. This translates into about a third of very heavy smokers developing lung cancer. Also, 15 to 20 of every 100 patients who have lung cancer are lifelong nonsmokers. Some get it because of secondhand smoke and some get it for unknown reasons.
People who start smoking at younger ages are at higher risk later in life. Lung cancer rates begin increasing in the mid to late 40s and peak in the late 70s. Many people think low tar or filtered cigarettes are safer. The truth is most people will compensate for these cigarettes by inhaling deeper and/or smoking more cigarettes in order to satisfy their need for nicotine.
While you ask about lung cancer, it is important to remember that occasional cigarette use can increase risk of cardiovascular disease dramatically. This is very pertinent, because cigarette smoking kills more people from cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease) than all cancers combined. It is a common observation that a town that makes smoking in public illegal lowers it heart attack rate within six months. This is primarily because the decrease in secondhand smoke exposure decreases the number of heart attacks in nonsmokers. Just think about the dose of smoke to even a casual smoker over six months compared to a nonsmoker exposed to occasional secondhand smoke.
Cigarette smoking is linked to a number of diseases. Lung cancer is most famously associated, but tobacco smoking causes cancers of the head and neck (mouth, throat, sinuses), esophagus, stomach, kidney, pancreas, bladder, uterine cervix and even certain types of leukemia. Fourteen different cancers in all are caused by smoking. Smoking also causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, such as bronchitis and emphysema. It worsens asthma. Smoking is linked to high blood pressure, ulcers, osteoporosis, diabetes and reproductive disorders such as infertility, miscarriage and premature menopause.
There are significant benefits to smoking cessation. Most tobacco-related disease can be prevented if one stops smoking by age 40. Even for older people and for those with tobacco-related disease, there is significant benefit to smoking cessation. Short-term, cessation causes cravings, irritability, insomnia, anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating and restlessness. Some may have a worsening of the smoker's cough. Long term, many complain of weight gain and increased depression.
Someone who is thinking of quitting should seek counseling from a physician or other experienced health care professional. Nicotine gum, nicotine patches and some other medications can be very helpful with smoking cessation. Counseling through telephone quit lines and internet support groups can also be helpful.

Piniella: Why fix it if it ain't broken?
Shortly after a fierce rainstorm turned Wrigley Field into a water park late Tuesday afternoon, the subject of what to do with Cubs leadoff man Alfonso Soriano came up once again.
"I don't see any reason to move him anywhere else," manager Lou Piniella said, dousing any thoughts about a switch in the batting order at this time. "I don't see a reason for any change."
Indeed, if the Little Blue Machine isn't broke, then why fix it?
The North Siders didn't need to tinker with much Tuesday night, when they dunked the Colorado Rockies 8-5, their fifth victory in a row.
Once again, Soriano played a lead role at the top of the order.
Soriano singled, stole a base and scored in the first inning and doubled and scored two innings later. He also threw out a runner for his 10th assist of the season.
"He has started to hit and he has started to run and he made a great throw to second base from the ivy," Piniella said. "He has played real good baseball."
If there's anything that needs to be tweaked, it may be the rotation and the bullpen, as starter Ted Lilly continued his monthlong struggles and the relief corps put some excitement in the ninth inning for the second consecutive game.
Lilly received credit for his sixth victory in 10 decisions, but he allowed four runs on six hits and five walks in six innings. In his last seven starts, the left-hander has allowed 26 earned runs in 38 innings.
"His pitch count (114) concerned me more than anything," Piniella said. "His curveball wasn't as sharp as I've seen it on other days. But he battled, and when he had to make some pitches, he did."
Reliever Will Ohman finally closed the deal, but not before the Rockies had the potential tying run at the plate.
"We'll have to get a 12th (pitcher)," Piniella said. "How do we get to 12? I don't know. We have functioned much better at 12 than we have at 11."
The North Siders jumped on starter Rodrigo Lopez (4-1) for three runs in the first inning and never looked back.
After Aramis Ramirez delivered an RBI double with two outs, Cliff Floyd struck the big blow, a two-run home run into the right-field bleachers.
The Cubs broke the game open in the fifth inning, when they batted around and scored four times.
At that point, the only thing left for the crowd was to boo Rockies relief pitcher LaTroy Hawkins, the former Cubs scapegoat.
As for Soriano, Piniella believes there are only two spots that suit him in the order - first and fifth.
For the team to take full advantage of his longball ability, Soriano would have to move to the middle of the order at some point. He leads the club with 15 homers, but 14 are solo shots.
One option is to have center fielder Felix Pie and shortstop Mike Fontenot at the top of the order. Fontenot replaced Cesar Izturis and batted in the second position, while Pie was in the eighth spot.
Fontenot brought a .393 batting average and .418 on-base percentage into the game.
"If I want to get (Mark) DeRosa's bat in the lineup and keep Fontenot's bat in the lineup, it's really the only choice I have," Piniella said. "We'll see if it works. It doesn't mean we have to stay this way."

Using Felted Wool
Felting Wool
When wool is felted, it shrinks and becomes so tightly woven that it will not ravel. This is one of felt's most appealing qualities, because you don't need to turn under the edges as you appliqué it.
To felt wool for appliqués, machine-wash it in hot water with a cool rinse cycle and a small amount of detergent. You can use fabric softener if you wish. Dry in a dryer on a medium setting, removing promptly and checking the filter often. Steam-press lightly if necessary.
This variance in temperatures, along with the agitation, causes the wool to felt. Hand-dyed wool does not need to be felted before use because the dying process also felts the wool.
TIP: If you want to felt wool from a piece of clothing, cut it apart and remove the seams so it can shrink freely.
Freezer-Paper Templates and Stitching
To make a wool project like this Basket of Posies throw, use freezer-paper templates to cut felted wool into appliqué pieces.
Lay the freezer paper over each pattern piece with the paper side up. Trace the pattern with a pencil; no not include seam allowances. Cut out the traced pattern roughly ¼" outside the line. Place pattern on the wool and press with the shiny side of the freezer paper facing the wool. Cut out on the traced line and remove the freezer paper. Reuse the freezer-paper template several times if desired.
Use a basic running stitch or a decorative hand- or machine-embroidery stitch to attach the wool appliqués to the foundation. For added dimension, add buttons or tack wool appliqué pieces at their centers only.

IP Path Dispersion (by IP Hop)
UsesThe IP-level dispersion graph gives the finest detail of local routing infrastructure that can be hidden in the AS dispersion graphs. For instance, we can look at a string of hops within a single AS and see whether that is due to a single set of IP addresses carrying all the traffic through that AS, or if instead the probes are being sent to several different routers at a single hop. Additionally, it can be useful to see what ASes are doing load-balancing (and where they're doing it).
CaveatsIt is important to recognize that these graphs are meant to illuminate the routing from a monitor, and not to show the volume of traffic normally flowing on the links or their bandwidth. Because of this, an AS/IP that might only be used for a small amount of actual traffic (but routes to a large section of the address space) can seem disproportionately large on the graph.
Characteristics of this graphIn this graph, we show the IP-level path dispersion, colored and annotated by corresponding AS number. Because this doesn't allow any aggregation, we only show paths out to 10 hops in order to avoid the unreadably fragmented columns further out. As with the AS dispersion graphs, you might encounter several column segments of roughly the same size next to each other, which indicates a string of IP addresses that are common for many paths. The graph will also show the varied IPs used to send data to different destinations. One unique quality that only shows up in the IP-level graph, however, is the symmetry caused by load-balancing. This is seen as a block splitting into two or more equal segments (within the same AS) that have the same pattern of column segments to their right, causing a repetition of IP addresses within the same column.
Background(See the Routed /24 Topology Dataset for more information. This summary applies to all the dispersion graphs.)
Ark monitors collect data by sending scamper probes continuously to destination IP addresses. Destinations are selected randomly from each routed IPv4 /24 prefix on the Internet such that a random address in each prefix is probed approximately every 48 hours (one probing cycle). A single monitor won't probe all prefixes, but the prefixes it does probe will be randomly distributed, which gives a good sample cross section of the address space. As each probe travels from the monitor to its final destination, it passes through several IP addresses (ie, routers) which are owned by different autonomous systems (ASes).
How This Graph was Created(This applies to all the dispersion graphs.)
Data ProcessingWe first take the IP addresses found in each path and look up its corresponding AS, creating a set of AS paths. We use heuristics to infer any unknown values in the IP and AS paths. First, any range of unknown ASes whose previous and following hops have the same value are all assumed to be within the same AS.
For example:
10 ?? ?? ?? 10becomes
10 10 10 10 10If there exists only one other known value between two neighboring values, the unknown hop is assigned that value. This can often happen when a router gives inconsistent responses, leaving an unknown hop some times and returning valid data at other times.
For example, say there are only three paths:
10 20 30 40 50 10 20 30 42 52 10 ?? 30 45 55From this, we infer the unknown hop in the third path, and end up with:
10 20 30 40 50 10 20 30 42 52 10 20 30 45 55

These two oil-on-copper paintings are among the finest by Nicolás Enríquez (1704–c. 1790), a distinguished yet understudied eighteenth-century New Spanish (Mexican) painter. They depict scenes from the life of the Virgin: her marriage to Joseph officiated by the Jewish priest and the adoration of the three kings who kneel before the Christ child as they offer him prodigious gifts. These are history paintings in the grand style (gran maniera), designed to tell a story through complex but clear narrative elements and the forceful expressiveness of the figures. Yet, the profusion of ornamentation, such as the delicate floral motifs that pepper the compositions, reflects a typically New Spanish sensibility. Enríquez was a member of the first academy of painters established in Mexico around 1722 by the brothers Juan and Nicolás Rodríguez Juárez (1667–1734; 1675–1728). A primary goal of this group of cultured painters was to gain recognition of the nobility of their art and to set themselves apart from the mechanical arts.
Enríquez developed a great reputation for his highly finished oil paintings on copper, a support that he used extensively throughout his career. The tradition of copper painting first developed in Italy and Flanders in the sixteenth century, and it was quickly introduced to New Spain, where it became more common than in Europe, especially in the eighteenth century. The smoothness of copper allowed for the almost seamless application of paint, creating dazzling visual effects and granting the paintings a jewel-like quality.
The rich floral textile in The Marriage of the Virgin, for instance, is a rare pictorial detail despite how prevalent it was to decorate church interiors with imported tapestries and Asian rugs. Equally unusual in New Spanish painting is the detailed architectural rendition of the church. This was a well-established genre in seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish painting, which Enríquez must have known (either through imported paintings or architectural manuals), allowing him to showcase his skill in rendering a realistic illusion of space.
In addition, the works are also important art historically. The Adoration of the Kings with Donor is modeled after a painting by the celebrated Mexican painter Juan Rodríguez Juárez in the famous Altar of the Kings of Mexico City's cathedral, dedicated to the Spanish monarchs in 1737. While in his painting Rodríguez Juárez includes a self-portrait, Enríquez inserts in the lower left the portrait of Mexico City's Viceroy Pedro de Castro y Figueroa, duke of La Conquista, who arrived in Mexico in 1740 and died tragically of yellow fever a year after taking his post. Standing near a fully decked horse (a quintessential element of the entry ceremonies of incoming viceroys to Mexico), the viceroy is depicted looking out sternly at the viewer. The two kneeling children are in all likelihood portraits of the viceroy's sons. A remarkable fact is that the viceroy was buried in the Altar of the Kings, which emphasizes his loyalty to the king and makes this posthumous painting particularly poignant. But referencing Juan Rodríguez Juárez's painting is also an important art-historical gesture: It represents how the tradition of local painting within Mexico itself was as significant as the use of European sources in creating new and vibrant compositions.
Enríquez's paintings are exceptional because of their unusually large scale (most copper paintings are much smaller) and their excellent state of conservation. The two works will feature prominently in an exciting upcoming exhibition of eighteenth-century Mexican painting that I am organizing with a group of colleagues from Mexico and Spain.
