In my teaching and research I study nineteenth-century British literature and culture. I have particular interests in the writings of George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, John Keats, and Walter Scott. My work always aims to understand the way literature describes or resists the material, embodied world in which it is made. My current research concerns the emergence in nineteenth century writing of the idea of human beings as a biological species.
I am happy to supervise graduate research in the fields of nineteenth-century literature; literary theory; poetry, poetics and rhetoric; literature and economics; and animal studies.

Wine & cycling... good combination?

We went to 2 vineyards in all but received a large amount of wine to taste at each one which made the cycle afterwards a lot more fun.

Salty tears between wet lips and dashing tongues. Catching the last of yesterdays forever and evers. The bus to Mendoza. Eight hours. Half asleep, half awake on a shaking rattling bus... I've had better bus journeys. Get to the hostel in some pain in the morning (overnight ...
Mendoza - Bike Wine Time
... later in the supermarket that this was the cheapest wine available... Good to know I have cheap taste haha! After that we cycled down to a family run winery and sat in the garden with some other English backpackers and shared a bottle of wine and some breads over looking the vineyards. We then had an eventful 10km cycle back to the bike shop on which we got told off by the police for cycling into the traffic instead of with it ...

My mechanic has tried several gaskets with no luck. They all leak causing erratic engine idle. Is there a special gasket or adapter? BTW, can anybody tell me exactly what Holley and Edelbrock part numbers for this TB and Intake is. more pictures and details here: http://picasaweb.google.com/cyberpine/1987C10 Thank you for any help or information.
They usually dont have leakage problems like that. Have you checked the TBI and manifold to ensure you dont have a warping problem?
Throttle body looks like the Holey 670 cfm. If the intake is edelbrock it might be the edelbrock 3704 intake. I got a pretty heavy duty throttle body gasket that came alone with my Holley, but unless the intake is somehow warped or the throttle body is then a regular gasket should work. I guess you could try using some ultra black sealant??
Get some gasket shellac compound, and coat both sides of the gasket with it. That should eliminate any leakage. Just don't breathe that stuff in
I know it's not the right answer, but I would have just taken a new standard gasket and some high temp permatex silicone, to solve the problem. I'm such a cheater these days. Sorry, I know this isn't any real productive help. But it's still an option.

Do you prefer heading out to your favorite (or perhaps nearest) restaurant for meals rather than cooking at home? If so, you're not alone. We get it! Dining out, whether heading through a drive-thru or sitting down at your favorite restaurant, is often more convenient and sometimes even more delicious than cooking your own food at home. Even those who love to cook need a break from the kitchen every now and then - but is dining out versus eating at home a healthy and nutritious option? Doesn't it seem that eating at home is the healthier option? This is a question we recently received from a reader and set out to find the answer!
We recently received a question from a reader asking about the best way to cook rice. In order to better understand what the best method might be, we reached out to experts Guy Crosby, PhD, and Ruth MacDonald, PhD, RD, for more information about this versatile grain and the different varieties.
Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, and Best Food Facts nutrition advisor, dishes out some sage advice on processed foods.
Have you ever wondered if a certain diet would help with arthritis? We reached out to Dr. Kristen Baker, PhD, Assistant Research Professor, Sargent College at Boston University, about the best foods for people who have arthritis.
Unfortunately, Dr. Baker says there's no "magic bullet" food that will improve arthritis. We are all individuals, and we each react differently to foods. However, Dr. Baker provided some guidance on several foods to try.
Treating your children to a healthy lifestyle may be a tricky task to accomplish in a fast-paced environment, as it is today. We recently received a question about how to provide tweens with the components of a healthy life. We reached out to Connie Diekman, M.Ed., RD, CSSD, LD, for some insight.
Best Food Facts nutrition advisor Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, shares tips on how to make a FRESH start to improve your health in 2015!
Yogurt, Greek yogurt especially, has been on the watch list of many foodies for the past few years and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. Good news for yogurt aficionados - a recent study adds lowered risk of diabetes to the list of health benefits of yogurt!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh, sorry. Did we just say that too loudly? Feeling a little sensitive to sound and light? Perhaps feeling a little unpleasant in general? If you spent last night celebrating the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 by imbibing on a few libations here and there, then you, my friend, are most likely suffering from a hangover.
As the year winds down, we'd like to thank all of our readers for taking time to ask questions about food. We appreciate being a trusted source of reliable information! We'd also like to thank all the food system experts we work with for providing their thoughts and expertise throughout the year.
Local. Vegan. Gluten-free. Umami. Oh, and pumpkin - anything and everything pumpkin. What food trends did you notice this year? These are just five of the top buzzwords/phrases that we found throughout the food industry in 2014. What does the future hold for these 2014 trends and what should we expect to be hot in 2015?
Do you go nutty for nuts? Nuts are packed with heart-healthy fats, protein, and disease-fighting vitamins and minerals. To learn more about nuts, we reached out to Alice Henneman, MS, RD, Extension Educator of Nutrition, Food Safety and Cooking, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Are organic eggs and brown eggs safe from Salmonella? Can you pasteurize fresh eggs in the microwave? Best Food Facts cracks these and other common egg myths.
It's candy cane season! And with National Candy Cane Day on December 26, we wanted to know what goes into making a candy cane - how does it get its shape, and how are those stripes created?

wherein the arcuate surface is dimensioned such that a diameter thereof is substantially equal to a diameter of the body of the water bottle, and a height of the arcuate surface is dimensioned so that a bottom surface of the body of an inverted water bottle protrudes therefrom, when the structure is mounted over the water bottle and the water bottle is mounted to the water cooler.
Description This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. provisional application No. 60/595,908 which was filed on Aug. 16, 2005 and is incorporated herein by reference. This application relates to a device for use in conjunction with a water cooler, and more particularly to a device which is mountable to the water cooler for storing objects or materials for convenient use. Water coolers are used in the home and office to dispense bottled water. The water is usually contained in a bottle mounted in an inverted position, and may be dispensed as cooled water or heated water, or both. A user of the water cooler may wish to make a hot or cold drink using the dispensed water, and performing such an act may require a liquid container, the dispensed water, ingredients to be mixed with the water, mixing or stirring implements, and container caps, as examples. A water cooler caddy or storage device is disclosed. The device is configured so as to be positionable around the circumference of a water bottle such that the device can be placed in position either before or after the water bottle is mounted to the water cooler. Further, the device is dimensioned so that it may slide down from the top of the installed water bottle and rest on a surface of the water cooler, or be deformed such that the device may be associated with the water bottle by deforming the device structure so that an opening greater than the diameter of the water bottle is temporarily formed. Alternatively, the device is dimensioned such that an interference fit between the water bottle and a device surface supports the device at a position intermediate between the top and bottom of the water bottle. For a device with fixed dimensions, the interference or sliding fit may be dependent on the dimensions of the water bottle. In an aspect, the device is an annular ring, and the ring may have a gap extending vertically, either partially or fully across the height dimension. In conjunction with the flexibility of the material used to fabricate the ring, the ring may be pulled away from contact with the water bottle, by increasing the effective diameter of the ring, so as to facilitate removing the ring from the bottle. In this state, the ring may be conveniently lifted vertically to disengage the ring from the bottle. Alternatively, the gap may be sufficiently large such that the water cooler caddy may be installed from the front of the water cooler by temporarily spreading the gap and the gap then positioned with respect to the front of the water cooler. Handles may be provided on the ring so as to permit a person to grip the ring for installation or removal, or other projections from the ring may serve the same purpose. The ring may be divided into receptacles or containers for holding various items of utility to the user of the water cooler by either partitions extending between the inner and outer walls of the annular ring, or by trays or receptacles dimensioned to be inserted between the inner and outer walls of the annular ring. Compartments may appended to the ring so as to provide storage for various items, which may include, but are not limited to beverage mixing supplies and materials (such as bottles or jars of drink mixes, prepackaged individual powdered beverage servings, single serving packages of sugar, creamer and the like, lids for cups, stirrers, napkins and the like.) A work shelf may be provided to support a beverage container or supplies while accessing or using any of the items stored in the water cooler caddy. A conical hole may be provided to support disposable conical cups that are used with many water coolers. The water cooler caddy may be provided with additional storage areas or accessories by providing mounting attachment points such that holders for trash bags, paper towels, extra beverage support shelves, powdered or liquid material dispensers may be added as desired for a specific installation. Exemplary embodiments may be better understood with reference to the drawings, but these embodiments are not intended to be of a limiting nature. Like numbered elements in the same or different drawings perform equivalent functions. When a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an example, it will be understood that a person skilled in the art may employ such a feature, structure, or characteristic in connection with the other examples, whether or not explicitly stated herein. In an example shown in In cross-section, the annular ring has a trough-like configuration 8, as shown in At intervals along the length of the trough 8, partitions 9 are disposed so as to divide the trough 8 into annular segments, receptacles, or compartments 10. Each compartment 10, being a region defined by partitions 9, and the inner 3, outer 5 and bottom 7 surfaces, may be dimensioned to hold a plurality of single-use materials and objects such as individual packages of sugar, stirrers and the like. A gap 13 is formed in the ring, and the ends of the trough 8 facing the gap 13 are closed by a surface 12, which also acts as a partition to form a portion of the compartment 10 adjacent to the gap 13. In The water cooler caddy may be fabricated from a variety of engineering materials, which may include metal or plastic. Plastic may be injection molded to form all or part of the water caddy including the partitions. Alternatively, the partitions and the remainder of the water cooler caddy may be fabricated from different materials. Handles 11 may be provided to assist in placing the water cooler caddy 1 on the water cooler 21. The handles 11 may be disposed so that they are part of the outer surface 5 of the water cooler caddy and disposed on either side of a gap 13. The handles 11 may be gripped and pulled apart so as to spread the gap 13 and permit the lowering of the water cooler caddy 1 over top of a water bottle 23 as shown in In an aspect, the water cooler caddy 1 may be provided with a shelf 15. The shelf 15 may have a solid surface (not shown) so that a cup or other container may be placed thereon for convenience in using the water cooler and accessories, or have a hole 17 therein and shaped and dimensioned so as to secure one or more conical shaped or other cups for use with the water cooler. In an aspect, a compressible material may be applied in a strip 33 to the inner surface 3, facing the water bottle 23 so as accommodate minor dimensional variations in the water bottle 23 or the water cooler caddy 1, and may also serve to control the force required to lower the water cooler caddy 1 into position; to control the force needed to rotate the water cooler caddy 1 with respect to the water bottle 23; and to hold the water cooler caddy 1 in position above the surface 25 of the water cooler 21. The compressible material, which may be a cellular foam, foam rubber or any resilient material, may be also disposed as short strips or patches 34. Either or both of the strip 33 and the patches 34 may be provided on the same water caddy 1, or may be omitted. A pair of keyhole interfaces 19 is a means for mounting modules to the water cooler caddy 1. Sliding interfaces, clamping interfaces and other means of securing one object to another, depending on the physical attributes of the module and the desire for either temporary of permanent attachment will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. The modules may include cup dispensers, which have a generally cylindrical shape, bottle holders, and the like, and including other shaped containers which might hold stirrers or other objects. In another example, shown in The outer surface 5 of the water cooler caddy 2 may cooperate with a bottom surface 7 of the water cooler caddy 2 and the partitions 9 to form receptacles 31 of varying shapes to hold materials in a similar manner to that of the previous example. In another aspect, the inner wall 3 may extend further in a vertical direction than the outer wall 5 so that a surface for display of messages, logos or other information is provided. In yet another aspect, either the water cooler 21 or the water cooler caddy are fitted with attachment points so that once the water cooler caddy is installed, the water cooler caddy can remain in place when the water bottle 23 is being replaced. In still another aspect, removable storage bins having arcuate sides, with ends similar to the partitions 9, and a bottom similar to the trough bottom 7, and dimensioned so as to be insertable into the trough-like structure 8 may be used in place of one or more partitions 9 in order to provide for removable compartments or receptacles. In yet another example, shown in In an aspect, the water cooler caddy 4 of In a further example of a water cooler caddy, shown in It is therefore intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting, and that it be understood that it is the following claims, including all equivalents, that are intended to define the spirit and scope of this invention.

* FTSEurofirst 300 falls 0.2 pct, Euro STOXX 50 down 0.6 pct
* Signs of Chinese slowdown hits mining stocks
* Banks fall with Lloyds hit by compensation charge
* Markets seen rangebound in March, Italy still a worry
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, March 1 (Reuters) - European shares edged lower on Friday, dragged down by weaker bank and mining stocks, and traders expected equities to stay in a tight range this month with uncertainty in the wake of Italy's inconclusive elections denting sentiment.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index closed down 0.2 percent at 1,168.64 points while the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index fell 0.6 percent to 2,616.75 points.
The STOXX Europe 600 Basic Resources index, which includes mining stocks, was the worst-performing equity sector as it fell 1.9 percent on fresh signs of an economic slowdown in China, which is the world's biggest metals consumer.
The European banking sector retreated 1.3 percent, with British bank Lloyds falling 2.2 percent after setting aside 1.5 billion pounds ($2.3 billion) to compensate customers who were mis-sold loan insurance.
Rupert Baker, a European equity sales executive for Mirabaud Securities, said stock markets may not resume their upwards trajectory until April.
"March is normally rangebound before it improves for another push higher in April," he said, adding that investors were still buying shares on days when the market fell due to expectations of a gradual rally on equities over the course of 2013.
"Are we still buyers on the dip? Yes, more or less. The corporate sector has had some fairly decent results," he said.
According to Thomson Reuters Starmine data, 60 percent of the companies on the pan-European STOXX 600 index to have reported fourth-quarter results so far have produced results that have either beaten or met market forecasts.
One such company was French defence electronics group Thales , which posted higher profits and pledged to boost margins, leading its shares to surge 12.3 percent to finish at the top of the FTSEurofirst 300 index.
However, Italy's political deadlock - which could impact the debt-ridden country's plans for economic reforms - remained a concern.
The country's benchmark FTSE MIB equity index fell 1.5 percent on the first day of a new Italian financial transaction tax, which is set to hit trading volumes and could make the Milan stock market less attractive.
Strategists at Barclays expected a coalition government would eventually be formed in Italy while pledges from the European Central Bank (ECB) to protect the euro currency from the region's debt crisis would also prevent any major market fall.
Nevertheless, Barclays advised investors to protect themselves against a near-term fall on the blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 over the next month by buying "put" options, which allow investors to bet on a future fall in the market.
It advised taking out a Euro STOXX 50 "put" with a strike price of 2,550 points and an April maturity - implying a near 3 percent fall on that index by next month.
Evidence of Europe's problems, with Spain also at risk of needing a state bailout, was provided on Friday with data showing that Germany and Ireland were the only two euro zone members with factory output growth last month.
Richard Edwards, who heads London-based trading and research firm HED Capital, recommended that investors favour German equities over Spain and Italy.
"I would keep selling rallies on Spain and Italy and keep buying dips in Germany," he said.

This morning the business software review site released the ratings, based on more than 800 user reviews. G2 Crowd's "grid" measuring tool analyzes customer satisfaction ratings as well as social signals and public data to rank vendors as either leaders, contenders, niche players, or high performers. We asked over 1,000 marketers about the best marketing automation systems. The top five tools span the business size gamut. Hubspot, which came in first, is primarily used by medium-sized companies. Act-On, which placed second, primarily targets smaller and medium-sized non-tech businesses. And Marketo, Pardot (which is owned by Salesforce), and Eloqua (which is owned by Oracle), which placed third, fourth, and fifth respectively, primarily target larger enterprise customers. Gallery: GalleryImage Credit: G2 Crowd According to G2 Crowd, Hubspot has the highest customer satisfaction ratings with a 95 percent customer satisfaction rating — something that VentureBeat has also seen in our own surveys. Act-on scored an 87 percent satisfaction rate, and Pardot, Marketo, and Eloqua also saw results in the 80s. Interestingly, while Net-Results, Ontraport, and Salesfusion had slightly lower overall customer ratings, with scores in the 70-80 percent range, they joined the top systems in at least one category: Over 90 percent of their users said they would recommend their systems to others. "Satisfaction rankings are generated from user reviews consisting of up to 71 questions, including ratings of features and functionality such as email marketing, online marketing, and lead management," G2 Crowd said in a statement. "Market presence is calculated from vendor size, market share, and social impact." While G2's grid is a useful measure of customer satisfaction, some enterprise solutions have yet to get enough reviews to be rated effectively. For instance, Adobe's Campaign, part of its marketing cloud, has received only 16 reviews so far, probably too few for G2 to be confident to rate it extremely high. Other enterprise solutions such as those provided by IBM and SAS are also not showing up in sufficient numbers to be ranked. That's something that will likely be rectified over time as more users of those systems discover and use G2 Crowd. More information: Oracle Eloqua Act-On Software, Inc.

Église Sainte-Dévote : Michelin's recommendations
Sainte-Dévote church has stood on the site of an ancient chapel dedicated to the patron saint of Monaco since 1870. Legend has it that she ended up here when her boat ran aground on the Monaco coast in 312. It is believed she had a very frail boat and was guided by a dove. This is the explanation for the Monacan tradition of burning a boat on 26 January, the night before this Saint's day. In the Church, a chest containing reliquaries of the saint is placed on a beautiful 18C marble altar.

German Exports Shrug Off Debt Woes to Breach EU1 Trillion Sales
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- German exports in 2011 will probably breach the 1 trillion euro ($1.3 trillion) level for the first time as demand from developing states offsets waning sales in Europe, the BGA Exporters and Wholesalers said.
Export sales will likely grow 12 percent this year to 1.075 trillion euros from last year and expand at least 6 percent in 2012 to 1.14 trillion euros, the Berlin-based group said today in presenting its outlook. This year's sales will yield a trade surplus of 156 billion euros, or 3 billion euros more than in 2010, the group said.
"Emerging markets are hardly impacted by the debt crisis and are continuing to invest strongly in future technologies," the BGA said in a statement. The group, led by President Anton Boerner, urged euro-region leaders to fight to save the euro from which German exporters "profit massively."
The euro region accounted for about 40 percent of the country's foreign sales in 2010.
Germany would pay a "massive economic price" if the euro collapsed, robbing exporters of a competitively priced currency, the group said. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said the price of the nation's exports would climb if the deutsche mark was reinstated as its currency.
Exports led the German economy, Europe's largest, out of recession in 2009. The economy may grow over 3 percent this year after export growth sparked domestic demand. Economic growth will slow to 1 percent in 2012, according to government forecasts that cite flagging demand in the 17-state euro region.
Surging commodity prices helped push up the cost of German imports this year by 14 percent to 919 billion euros, the BGA said.

We see it everywhere in today's popular culture, on television, the radio and the internet: the phenomenon of swag. Defined as the way in which a person carries themselves, swag is shown in a person's confidence, style and demeanor as they walk. Which leads to the question: what exactly constitutes swag? Do people with swag have quantifiable physical differences in their gait? This study attempts a kinesiological gait individuals who their peers determined to have swag. Similarities and differences in their gait are identified and compared to the average stepping pattern. The results are then discussed in combination with the contemporary idea of swag in our culture.

Separating the bias & audio portions of Acoustat Servo?
Was just thinking.....is it possible or even desirable to physically isolate the bias voltage circuit from the audio circuit in an Acoustat Servo amp and go with two enclosures?

I intend to do this my self, my reason is to keep the panals charged. In the Interface design, the bias has nothing to do with the passive transformers. Based on this, I assume it will work just fine. How ere you going to build the power supply?

Thanks, guys. I'm eventually going to do a full rebuild of the Servos using Analogue Associates parts. I was thinking about getting/making new circuit boards, which then got me wondering if there is any advantage to keeping the two portions apart.

I am not sure if there would be in benefit to separating them ,unless the bias voltage is common to the amplifier plate supplies.
I will have to look up the info as maybe I am thinking of the wrong amplifier system. jer |

The circuit shown above for the MK-121 bias supply should work well. I do see the 750-VAC Acoustat bias transformer for sale on eBay occassionally, and possible other sellers. Part number is TTA-117 for the 110/120 VAC input model. Other transformers with different output voltage could be used by adjusting the number of stages in the voltage multiplier (within reason, of course). So nice to see a schematic that I drew so many years ago, still getting good use. Who knew? |

I have a pair of Acoustat X with servo amps that have been working fine all these years, but time to downsize and sell them (my wife loves them, but can't live with anything that big anymore). Any idea what they are worth?
