Sam Hunt (poet)
Samuel Percival Maitland "Sam" Hunt, CNZM, QSM (born in Castor Bay Auckland on 4 July 1946), is a New Zealand poet, especially known for his public performances of poetry, not only his own poems, but also the poems of many other poets.[1] He has been referred to as New Zealand's best-known poet.[2]
Hunt grew up at Castor Bay on the North Shore of Auckland. His became interested in poetry because of his mother. Hunt's father, a barrister, was sixty when Hunt was born (his mother was 30). Yet Hunt loved his unconventional parents and " ... early poems featuring his father remain amongst his best".[3] Hunt has an older brother, Jonathan, and both of them have an older half-brother, Alexander Hunt.
Hunt was educated at St Peter's College, Auckland which he attended from 1958 to 1963. At St Peter's, Hunt chafed under the Christian Brother's authoritarianism and puritanism. (He has recounted on numerous occasions and through different media the incident where he was strapped for reciting a poem by James K. Baxter which had sexual imagery, in the classroom. He was 14 at the time.[4] ) Hunt also had a pronounced stutter and an original style of dress and deportment which did not help. He expressed his individuality and the pressures of adolescence in poems. Some of his earliest poems were published in the St Peter's College annual magazines.[5] However, Hunt was good at some sports (running and diving) and had academic success. He has said that at the end of his sixth form year (he was 16) it was indicated to him by the headmaster of the school that he was not expected to return for the upper sixth form year. Hunt interpreted this as a request to leave school, which he did. In his final year at St Peter's his English master had been the poet Ken Arvidson and he had obtained University Entrance.[3] Hunt has said that "if Mr Arvidson ... had not come to the school, I would not have lasted [at St Peter's] as long as I did, and I'd just turned sixteen when I left. He introduced me to poets like Gordon Challis, who I've gone on loving ever since".[6] Ken Arvidson endowed a poetry prize at St Peter's and this was awarded to Sam Hunt in 1963. One of Hunt's most reproduced poems is Brother Lynch, a poem about a St Peter's College teacher, Brother J B Lynch, who was sympathetic to the young Hunt.[7] An annual literature competition at St Peter's College is named after Sam Hunt, and he has acted as its judge.[8]
In the period 1964 to 1967, Hunt led a restless wandering life around new Zealand but particularly between Auckland and Wellington, attending university in both cities. He spent brief periods truck-driving and panel-beating, but he graduated from teachers college and taught briefly in a secondary school (Mana College) before deciding, in the late 1960s, to devote himself to poetry-writing.[3]
Hunt was amongst the younger New Zealand poets who began to be published in the late 1960s. He was first published in Landfall in 1967.[9] Hunt and other young poets were interested in daily linguistic usage and in the natural units of speech rather than any special poetic language. This expressed itself in a restoration of oral aspects of poetry and a stress on performance.[10]
Many of his poems are characteristically expressions of feeling in a single surface line which leads to a poignant close. His own experience is his single subject; moments in his life, love and its loss, and poems about his father, mother and sons. A number of Hunt's works share common themes and characters, such as the poems Porirua Friday Night and Girl with Black Eye in Grocer's Shop, both of which feature the same female character. "Everything Hunt writes is geared for personal performance: his lyrics are deliberately uncomplicated and colloquial; their traditional forms and regular rhythms allow 'the stories and myths [to be] fleshed and invested with energy and power' ".[3] Critics have noted Hunt's "unabashed romanticism". As Hunt wrote, Romantics, so they say,/ don't ever die! (second "Song"). Hunt has been called "a kind of ["laconic"] Jack Kerouac" – whose poems (he has called them "roadsongs") are direct and simple, "surprised by their own powerful emotion".[3] His romanticism has been compared with that of another New Zealand poet, Hone Tuwhare and their romanticism has been credited with contributing to the popularity of both poets.[11] From the late 1960s until 1997, Hunt lived in a number of locations around the Pauatahanui inlet near Wellington. Many of the events in each dwelling are described in his verse, notably Bottle Creek (where he was joined by his famous black and white sheepdog, "Minstrel"), Battle Hill (where his older son, Tom, was born), Death's Corner (formerly the farmhouse of a Mr Death) and then back to a boatshed in Paremata. Other poems (see above) are set in Porirua nearby. In 1997 Hunt moved to Waiheke Island near Auckland.[3] He now lives in Kaipara in Northland with his younger son, Alf.[12]
Hunt has been a central figure in New Zealand literature since the publication of his first mature work From Bottle Creek: Selected Poems 1967–69 in 1969, published when the poet was aged just 23. He was a prolific writer in the 1970s–1990s. By focusing on the public performance aspects of poetry, Hunt was the "young poet" who most successfully reached a wider audience. Hunt pointed out how his poetry showed up the intellectuality of his contemporaries and their inclination to see popular culture as input rather than output.[13] Much of Hunt's output is in a style similar to those of Denis Glover, Alistair Campbell, and James K. Baxter.[13][14] These poets were personal friends as well as influences on Hunt. Baxter was particularly important to, and wrote many poems for, Hunt. In one of the most important of these poems, Letter to Sam Hunt, Baxter provided advice to the young Hunt.[14] Hunt frequently delivers Baxter poems in his performances and has claimed to have committed 200 of them to memory. Many of Hunt's performance tours have been undertaken with another poet and "fellow exuberant", Gary McCormick.
Hunt has a high regard for other twentieth-century English language poets such as William Butler Yeats, W. H. Auden and Dylan Thomas (Hunt particularly loves Thomas' poem, In my Craft or Sullen Art, which he sees as speaking to his own mission as a poet; he has said that he sometimes gives his occupation (to Customs Officers and such) as "sullen artist"). He also loves foreign language poets such as the Italian, Salvatore Quasimodo, and the Hungarian poet Jozsef Attila (Hunt often recites Attila's poem A Hetedik or The Seventh[15] with which he is familiar in both English and Hungarian (having heard it as a child often delivered by a Hungarian friend of his family)). Hunt also admires the work of Bob Dylan amongst many other poets.[3] As well as his own poems, Hunt, in his performances, recites poems by all these poets, whether famous, obscure or anonymous (from sometimes unlikely sources, for example The War Cry). It is the quality of poems that is most important to him.
After a publishing gap of nearly a decade, Hunt has published in most years since 2007. In April 2009, New Zealand musician David Kilgour, of cult band The Clean, released an album on which poems by Hunt were reinvented as song lyrics.[16] Hunt's book sales far exceed most New Zealand poets.[3]
Hunt's distinctive appearance – tall and thin, usually wearing long, tight, trousers ("Foxton straights" he has called them) with vests and open-chested shirts, with long hair curling wildly above a well-worn face – is complemented by the familiar gravelly drawl, the rhythmic, sometimes staccato and sometimes incantatory quality of his recitation (often tapping his fingers or flicking a hand to emphasise the poetic beat) and the execution of occasional small dance-like steps of concentration. These have all made him one of New Zealand's most recognisable figures.[3] Once, almost as well-known was his long-time travelling companion, the dog Minstrel. "A bard in the truest sense of the itinerant minstrel, Hunt's turangawaewae [i.e. 'one's own turf', literally: 'a place to stand'] is the public bar. Touring the pubs with bands of musos[17] and poets, he is himself one of the national icons".[18] Hunt is also a familiar figure in New Zealand figurative art, notably in paintings by Robin White, such as in Sam Hunt at the Portobello Pub,[19] painted in 1978.[18] In 2012, the artist Dick Frizzell completed a series of paintings of Sam Hunt poems. At the opening of the exhibition of those paintings on 7 February 2012, Frizzell said that he and Hunt had, in their respective paintings and poems, committed the ultimate "sin", the "sin of being understood".[20] [21]
Hunt was awarded a Robert Burns Fellowship at Otago University in 1975, and spent 1976 in Dunedin.[3] He was awarded the Queen's Service Medal for community service in the 1985 Queen's Birthday Honours[22] and in the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to poetry.[23] In 2012 he received a Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement.[24]

Programmable multi-wavelength filter with Mach–Zehnder interferometer embedded in ethanol filled photonic crystal fiber |
Optics Letters, Vol. 39, Issue 7, pp. 2194-2197 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (545 KB)
We experimentally demonstrated a free spectrum range (FSR) tunable comb filter based on a programmable thermo-controlled Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The device is constructed by sandwiching a length of ethanol-filled photonic crystal fiber between single-mode fibers. A digital thermal printer head is used to facilitate the interference as well as to adjust the phase difference by selectively activating the independent heating elements, thus the FSR can be digitally tuned conveniently. The filter shows a feature of periodic equalized passbands with flat-top steep-edge as well as a high extinction ratio over a very wide range of wavelengths from 1.52 to 1.58 μm.

Do you measure how many out of stock page views (i.e. out of stock products which are being viewed by your visitors) you receive per day?
Consider shoppers who search for a specific product on Google, find you on on the search results page or an ad, click on it, arrive to your site only to discover that the product is out of stock. This is a disappointing experience for the shopper and a missed opportunity for your business.
So what can you do about it?
1. Probably the best thing you can do is show alternative product recommendations at very prominent position in the product page (above the fold is highly recommended). So when people arrive to an out of stock product page they immediately see the alternatives and chances are your bounce rate will come down.
2. Another action you can take is to allow shoppers to get notifications when the product is back in stock. By doing this you engage customers and build up your permission based marketing database at the same time
3. Consider offering a coupon for first time visitors who landed on an out of stock page but purchased a similar product during the same session

Author has written 28 stories for Bonanza, Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: SG-1, Indiana Jones, Phantom of the Opera, Emergency, Sherlock, Psych, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who, Alexandre Dumas, Firefly, Three Musketeers, and Big Valley. 9/2014: Am currently back in hiatus for awhile. I'm working on several original works, but I do have several fics lined up to be written. I really can't think of anything anyone out there need to know about me. I like a variety of movies, books, and tv shows, so I write a lot of different things. Just a warning: I do not stay in one genre for very long. Once I finish the story for a section, I jump to something else. That being said, I will be venturing out into other fandoms that I have never been in before. Also, for the most part, whenever I start posting a story I have the entire thing done. There are only a few exceptions to this rule. Reviews are amazing things to get! Thanks everyone who's taken the time to review my fics! It is my personal policy to respond to every review. Since I can't do that with my anonymous reviewers, I want to say thanks now. You guys rock. I took an online Fan Fiction Personality Test and this is my result (very accurate too, I might add):
12/2011- I just figured this up: in the year 2011 alone, I posted over 100,000 words here. Yay me! 3/2014: Hello everyone. I am slowly coming out of hiatus, and am trying to get back into a normal posting schedule. Also, I have moved all of my 3M fics from the Alexandre Dumas book section to the Three Musketeers movie section where they truly belong. |

Bistro Rollin's Bratoni Cocktail is a Modern Twist on the Classic Negroni
Fresh citrus zest provides the zing, while aperol, boutique vermouth and Dorothy Parker American gin are as smooth as ever.
Doug Schneider Photography
The Bratoni Cocktail
Bistro Rollin
(one serving)
■ 1½ oz Dorothy Parker American Gin
■ 1 oz Aperol
■ 1 oz Carpano Antica Formula vermouth
■ Fresh lemon zest and a twist for garnish
Place all ingredients in a cold mixing glass and stir until well chilled. Ideally, you should strain it straight up into a chilled Martini glass or a chilled Champagne coupe. Garnish.
"This is a contemporary riff on the classic Negroni," says Paul Bratone, co-owner, general manager, and mixologist. "When mixed, the Bratoni renders an aromatic roundness that is offset beautifully by the addition of fresh citrus zest."

Our Philosophy
At the heart of our work is our belief that every child deserves the best start in life and the chance to make the most of their unique talents and abilities. Experience has shown us that children living on the streets in Kenya suffer the sort of trauma, abuse, destitution and neglect that is unimaginable for children in the UK. We help these children re-build their lives by offering long-term support, guidance and care, and by seeking to meet both their practical and emotional needs. We believe that the future of street children and their ability to escape the desperate poverty they face depends on their access to an education and vocational skills training. Providing these learning opportunities is one of our primary goals.
Our Structure
New Life Nyambene is a partnership between Kenya and the UK. The Children's Home and vocational training centre is managed and run by a dedicated team of Kenyans from the local community. In the UK, a group of volunteers supports the Home by raising funds for the children.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. (1 John 3: 16-18)
We are currently looking for a Business Manager at the New Life Training Centre. Please find more details, including a job specification, here.

Abercrombie CEO Under Fire Again For Hotels, Helicopters And More
Mike Jeffries, who built up Abercombie's sex-meets-Ivy League aesthetic in the 90s, is the focus of a shareholder lawsuit claiming poor governance at the fashion chain.
Mike Jeffries, who built up Abercombie's sex-meets-Ivy League aesthetic in the 90s, is the focus of a shareholder lawsuit claiming poor governance at the fashion chain.
Who really thought the world needed an "Eat Less" tee? *SMDH*
The move, another part of the retailer's efforts to win back American teens, illustrates how dramatically Abercrombie has changed in the past decade.
The retailer, which is pursuing a turnaround, conveys a new image in its quarterly filing. "Idolized and respected" have been swapped for "confident and engaging."
Abercrombie hopes its version of America resonates more in China, as its brands keep losing steam in the U.S. and Europe.
Aeropostale's stock plunged 20% and closed at the lowest price since 2003 after reporting truly dismal earnings.
The teen retailer's stock jumps after exceeding analysts' low expectations for the fourth quarter, but its stores are still struggling mightily in the U.S. and Europe.
The teen retailer's future direction will be determined over the next four months.
Investment bank Jefferies sent clients a note Friday titled "Teenage Wasteland: Assessing the Post-Apocalyptic Future of Teen Retail." According to its survey of more than 1,000 teens, American Eagle has more "brand relevance" than rivals Aeropostale and Abercrombie & Fitch.
"This public nomination follows the failure of weeks of private outreach to the board to arrive at a negotiated settlement," Engaged Capital said in a statement Thursday. Update: Abercrombie says it "will review Engaged Capital's director nominations as part of its normal process and will present its recommendation with respect to the election of directors in its proxy statement."
Chubbies, an online-only shorts company, pens an open letter to Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries.
Engaged Capital, which last week sent a nine-page open letter to Abercrombie's board calling for CEO Mike Jeffries's ouster, is "disturbed" to learn his contract was extended today.
Controversial Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries, whom an activist investor has been pressuring to oust this past week, isn't going anywhere yet.
Activist firm Engaged Capital fired off an open letter to Abercrombie's board today saying that Jeffries, whose latest employment contract expires on Feb. 1, needs to be replaced.
The retailers are among companies at risk of losing their spot in the S&P 500 once Ingersoll-Rand spins off its Allegion unit next month.
Hollister will test stores with glass storefronts in early 2014. Parent company Abercrombie & Fitch noted today that Generations Y and Z don't covet exclusivity like their predecessors.
Let's recapture the lost magic of the early aughts. As a company mired in controversy and dropping sales, Abercrombie & Fitch has to do something.
You'll thank me once the video is over.
Abercrombie, the teen retailer for which image is everything, has very specific guidelines for employees' hair. A source tells BuzzFeed they have been enforced strictly recently, adding to the pressure of the brand's "Look Policy Guidelines" on store associates.
Teen retailers are all struggling, but Abercrombie did particularly poorly this quarter in the U.S. and online. The company was the target of ridicule across the web for much of the period.
In a tough quarter for rivals American Eagle and Aeropostale, Abercrombie fares no better. CEO blames the economy.
The original marketing campaign from the early 2000s featured then-rising stars Taylor Swift, Ashton Kutcher, and others.This one has actors from Glee, The Hunger Games, and dogs!
After Bad Kids Clothing started selling a T-shirt listing all the names of Swift's rumored exes, her fans got mad. Really mad.
"Thank you for calling Abercrombie & Fitch public relations. If you are calling regarding the Taylor Swift T-shirt, please note this is no longer available."
Matthew Smith, the life partner of Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries, wields as much power and influence as any executive at the publicly traded company. Only problem is, he isn't employed by and holds no official role at A&F, which has raised corporate governance concerns among company executives.
There were only two episodes, but we'll always have the memories. And these gifs.
The CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch has made A LOT of people VERY angry over the last month.
Plus a supercut of Leo DiCaprio yelling, the worst things Abercrombie's CEO has ever said, and a Kickstarter for glow-in-the-dark plants.
The company's casual style is actually based on a rigid behind-the-scenes employee dress code, including four-step guides to cuffing jeans and scrunching sleeves. The rules.
After 12 years of research, I'm happy to announce that the results are in on this highly scientific study.

My daughter had a math project that was due today and had three classmates over to work on the project. After about 30 minutes the math project was forgotten and it became a play date with three friends. I was the party pooper and went to bed(my wife said I was grumpy and I needed to go to bed). I slept like a baby and my alarm woke me up. Today was a funny kind of workout. I got in early and out late but did not do a lot of yardage and also did not really feel like I spent a lot of time between sets. Tom switched up our 16x50s which made today hurt even more. Warm up 400 free with snorkel 8x50 catchup on :45 Main sets 12x75 kick on 1:20 4x50 on 1min at 100 race pace(24/25) 100 easy 4x50 on 1min at 100 race pace(24/25) 100 easy 8x50 on 1min at 200 race pace(26/27) 200 easy 10x50 on 1min swum as 25 doggy paddle working on free catch, 25 free distance per stroke Warm down 200 easy The 2 rounds of 100 race pace hurt really really bad. I started out holding 25s for the first 2x50s and then hit a groove and held 24 highs for the rest of the 100 race pace sets. On the 200 race pace I held 26s which again is really good for me. Overall a really good set and quite encouraging but I hurt so bad. In particular my lats and tris are screaming at me right now and my chest feels like my ribs are preventing my lungs from getting a full breath. Boy I hurt!
Tuesday Drylands: rehab ex supine flutter kicks on bosu, 2 x 100 land mines, 45 x 3 x 15 single leg deadlift w/20 Lb DBs, 3 x 10 each leg straight arm dips, 75 x 3 x 25 explosive leg extensions, 105 x 3 x 15 good mornings, 85 x 4-5 x 6 wide grip lat pulldowns, 75 x 3 x 8 kneeling ab crunches, 140 x 3 x 15 seated row, 80 x 3 x 8 Wednesday: Swim/SCY/Solo @ Pitt Warm up: 500 various 100 scull 100 torque drill w/paddles 50 EZ 4 x 25 shooters w/fins 50 EZ Main sets: 4 x 25 SDK @ 100 pace @ :45 50 EZ 5 x (25 AFAP + 75 EZ) -- some from a push, some from the blocks 100 EZ 4 x (10 x 25 @ 100 pace + 150 EZ) R1 = back, 15 flat-low with 11 SDKs R2 = back, 15 flat -low, with 10-11 SDKs R3 & 4 = breast w/fins, no pullouts, 12 high-13s Total: 3250 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some random thoughts for the day: 1. I didn't like the Arena Flex as much as the Carbon Pro. Less compression and it definitely runs slightly bigger than the Pro. I was a little disappointed with the fit. 2. I've decided to overhaul my breaststroke pull again. Today, I tried an EVF and hard elbow squeeze. That seems to be faster than my other style pull (was trying the Salo palms down recovery). I also think I'm kicking a tad too early, and should kick when I'm at the end of my recovery, not during. Breaststroke is such a frustrating stroke. 3. I've decided I'm going to forget ever doing a real USRPT set. I'm too old, too much a drop dead sprinter, use too many SDKs and am mentally weak. So I won't be converting any fast twitch fibers from anaerobic to aerobic. Though I still think there is value in doing sets like I did today, as you get in a good amount of race pace work. 4. This SCY season is going to be interrupted somewhat by my Paris trip (life first). But I think going forward that I need to focus more on strength training as I get ready to age up (at least in meters) next year. The move + RC tear took a real toll. And I think this particularly effects my 100s.

I had a massage last night or at least the start of one. My masseuse injured her tricep after about 30 seconds and we had to reschedule my appointment. She all of a sudden stopped talking mid sentence and when I looked up she was in tears holding her arm. It sucks on lots of fronts for her, the worst being she is an hourly employee and this directly affects her income. I felt bad and in a strange way guilty. As a result of the extra 90 minutes I went to bed early and again had a great night of sleep. Today I woke early and was lifting at 4:45am. Weights 10 mins on the vasa swim trainer done as 1:30 on :30 off 3x(bench, inclined bench, military press, seated row hands inside, seated row hands outside, lat pull downs hands inside, lat pull downs hands outside, lower back extensions) done as 80%, max, fail and 10,10,10 reps by round 15 mins of abs done as 3x(flutter, oblique crunches, leg lift, one hand one leg planks, flutter kick) with :45 on, :15 off. This was especially tough today for some reason. Swim 15x100 with snorkel on 1:30 This was not very adventurous but I hurt really bad from lifting and my arms were beat and the first 5 felt good so just kept going. Today's weights took longer despite arriving earlier than normal and I ran out of time in the swim. I wanted to do a little bit more because I finally started to loosen up towards the end.
It was nice to only have a 20 minute shovel-session this morning before work, but I did spend another half-hour after work this afternoon raking the roof in preparation for an arctic blast over the weekend. Oh the glorious sunshine and blue sky - here is a pic from the backyard ... Made it to Masters and enjoyed a great workout with a fun pool of swimmers, featuring a main set from pwb's workout thread over in the forums Workout 1 in week 2. 150 Swim/50 kick/100 pull (extra 100) 4 x 50 Burst and Cruise on 1:15 2 x - 3 x 50 (I did 75/75/50 kick) - 2 x 100 - fast last 25 (I did 150's) - 1 x 200 - fast middle 50 (I did 200 IM drill rd 1 on 1:00/50 base, 30 seconds Vertical Kicking, rd 2 on 1:10/50 base 200 loosen and out (Masters/Rec/2200 yds/45 min) ------------------------------------ 7 people for a Tuesday night is a lot for us, and it was great swimming with Carol, Greg, Luiza, Melissa, Rachel, and Tim. Our team is planning on doing the One Hour Swim this weekend for fun - only Greg and I did it in January and submitted the entry for the ePostal. I thought it would be a good experience for everyone to try and I'll be able to use the results to set up bases for future workouts. Since we will be swimming on Valentine's Day, I am dubbing it as a great heart workout and plan on having a few sweet treats after the swim.
SCY WARM UP: 1 X 250 4:00 3:45 4 X 100 1:40 1:30 3 X 100 kick 2:15 2:15 Two rounds. Round 1 intervals left, 2 right. 12 X 50--choice-- 1:10 #3-6-9-12 are fast 3 X 200 broken @ race pace 6:00 Broken :10 @100 1 x 100 easy 1 x 800 pull WARM DOWN: 4 X 50 easy 4200Y

Though my quads were dead. I tried to do one of the 4 x 25 sets as dolphin kick and it was painful. I'm getting very excited about leaving for Paris on Saturday. I don't expect to train anywhere near my usual level, but hope to get a few workouts in. My friend recently joined a gym, so hopefully I can pop in to lift a couple times while I'm gone.

So the snow has now entered day three (actually, it was three storms that just happened to line up together) and I was up at quarter of 6 this morning, not to swim, but to shovel the driveway! Took a little over an hour, but I was able to get showered up and some breakfast before work at 8. More shoveling at 5 then off to the pool at 6 ... 200 free/200 back/200 im drill 2x: 50 kick, 100 AP, 200 pull 100 easy (Solo/Rec/1400 yds/25 min) -------------------------------- Tonight I was again very much looking forward to stretching out in water after a busy day. The snow should end around 10pm tonight, then cold air moves back in. I'm hopeful that tomorrow morning will be a quick shovel session.

I had an awesome nights sleep last night. I went to bed early and slept through the night. Today's workout was much different to our normal money workouts with more intensity and more rest. Warm up 400 free with snorkel 8x50 catchup on :45 main sets 6x(200 with fins on 3mins fast, 100 back with fins on 1:40 with no less than half way under water each length) 200 easy 6x100 kick on 1:50 12x50 on 1min swum as 4x 50 free drill, 50 stroke drill, 50 fly fast warm down 200 easy the set with fins sucked royally. I felt great for the first 50 and then the entire rest of the set hurt. Without intentionally descending I descended the set starting out at 1:54 and dropping to 1:49 on the last round.

I have been looking forward to a nice swim since Thursday, when lots of little loose ends kept me out of the pool before I headed to class. But ... we have had some much snow in the past week or so that I am able to get some quality drylands in with the shovel. At this point I am starting to run out of room for the snow around the house! Busy weekend at work as folks panic about the "new" storm currently overheard - picked up 3 inches overnight, expected to get another couple of inches tonight, then likely a foot tomorrow into Tuesday. So, a nice stretch-out today swim today was just what I needed. 200 free/200 back/200 im drill 400 shark swim 2 x 300 (100 left, 100 right, 100 both hands AP) 4 x 50 as 25 easy, 25 IMO fast 100 loosen and out (Solo/Rec/1900 yds/40 min) --------------------------------- I'm hoping that the Rec does not close tomorrow due to the storm. I was able to check in with Kevin, Rebecca, and Marie at the pool, which was hot and cloudy. Marie was in FL and swam at the ISHOF recently - she loved it! Someday I would like to get there myself

I had a good night of sleep but was beat when I woke up this morning. The week of travel and yesterday's workout tired me out. My right knee is still a little swollen and hope it recovers soon. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. Today was our 500 race pace day.

I was really tired at the end! These hurt much more than the past few weeks and put this down to travel related fatigue. I did the warm down after everyone else was done. My neck was really stiff so I decided to do an extended warm down.

Title: | Comparing lifetime emissions of natural gas and conventional fuel vehicles: An Application of the generalized ANCOVA model |
Author: | Deaton, Michael; Winebrake, James |
Abstract: | New regulations and incentives are encouraging the use of clean, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in urban areas. These vehicles are seen as one option for reducing air pollution from mobile sources. However, because of the limited number of AFVs on the road, little is known about actual lifetime emissions characteristics of in-use AFVs. This study describes the use of a generalized analysis of covariance model to evaluate and compare the emissions from natural gas vehicles with emissions from reformulated gasoline vehicles. The model describes fleet-wide emissions deterioration, while also accounting for individual vehicle variability within the fleet. This ability to measure individual vehicle variability can then be used to provide realistic bounds for the emissions deterioration in individual vehicles and the fleet as a whole. In order to illustrate the use of the model, the carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC), and carbon dioxide emissions characteristics of a fleet of dedicated natural gas Dodge Ram vans and a fleet of dedicated reformulated gasoline Dodge Ram vans operating in the U.S. government fleet are explored. The analysis demonstrates the utility of the statistical method and suggests a potential for natural gas Dodge Ram vans to be generally cleaner than their conventional fuel counterparts. However, in the case of NOx and NHMCs, the analysis also suggests that these emissions benefits might be reduced over the vehicle lifetime due to higher emissions deterioration rates for natural gas vehicles. As this paper is aimed at illustrating the analysis of the covariance model, the results reported herein should be considered within the context of a more comprehensive study of these data before general conclusions are possible. Generalization of these findings to other vehicle models and alternative fuel technologies is not justified without further study. |

Normally I love PvP - That is why I buy MMOs. I tried Cyrodiil yesterday, and my jaw dropped. However, I actually find it quite hard, in big crowded areas, to actually target your enemies (Nightblade with bow). Am I doing something wrong? Maybe you just need to get used to this style. I have no problems at all in PvE, but in a crowded area between allies and foes, it is actually pretty hard to know if you hit or miss if you are ranged. Playing ATM: Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo 3 |
Was the same for most I think. Once your eyes adjust you will be surprised at how crisp target selection can be.
http://www.twitch.tv/sunshineNB |
It also does feel pretty slow to shoot with your bow, recharge on sending an arrow is huge. But how do you learn the target system? It feels different in PvP than in PvE... It is easy to see which mob you shoot at, but when theres a crowd of people it can be hard to see if you are hitting a friend or foe. Playing ATM: Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo 3 |
Use tab to highlight the one you want.
As above, use tab to target the one you want to help track it in crowds, you still need to aim at it, but should make things a little easier. As for bow attacks being slow, you can fire off light attacks by just pressing the button or hold to charge up a heavy attack. It is one of the faster weapons though.
Ah thanks I did not know about the tabbing, will try that when I get home from work :)

Well that reply wasn't necessary now was it?

Game is Bad? I have a hard time going to bed before 2am with this game. Its a blast and been a long time since I really liked a game this much. EQ1 was a long time ago. ESO keeps getting more crowded every day. you can tell by the crowds inside the banks.
Originally posted by movindude Heh..I thought it felt a bit more crowded, thought it wa just me. |
When you're defending a keep against a massive attack force that is when PvP shines if you have the right raid leaders. Flank FLANK!
(\ /) ? |
Originally posted by orionblack Been noticing this too. Im working on alts to keep pace with my brother (less time to play than me) as well as try out different builds and seems like each time I go back through an area I already cleared on a previous character there are more people around than before. For example the Storm Atronach portion of the quest chain in Mistral. My 1st time going through the mines to get to the end I was solo the entire way. 2nd character I wound up coming across a few other people. Did it for the 3rd time today and could hardly find anything to fight and devices kept getting deactivated before I could get to them because there were a bunch of people around. |
It takes a few RvR sessions to get adjusted to tab targeting and how to stick on that target and watching your health. You'll get used to it. Zerging is fun, but once you get into that 5-8 man with voice app hit and run group while 2-3 large groups are fighting Cyrodill really shines. When zerging and not sure if you'll get heals I would suggest bring some health potions to pop when you see your health going south. Unless you have guildies in the zerg with you don't plan on getting a rez. Soul gems cost money and most save them for buddies and guildies. |
RvR is fantastic for the sieges and huge zerg fights if you can stand getting killed instantly from unknown things. But its honestly boring if you are intent on doing anything other than sieging. Certain other side activities that my and other guilds developed will probably be carried on elsewhere as they just don't work here very well. The mechanics are a bit too shallow for GvGs as we've grown used to them, and the roaming can be a prolonged cross-country exercise routine with no returns. We'll see how it goes after we get bored of sieging, probably the same way GW2 went. |
Originally posted by venats If you only think the zerg fights are worthwhile then I don't think you've fully embraced whats available. Small ambushes, taking tiny objectives, RvR dungeons, roaming 8 man fights. Thats the lifeblood of RvR if you don't want to siege, and its where a lot of the fun comes from. And GW2's psuedo RvR was really poorly designed and had a ton of flaws for long term fun. TESO seems to have avoided most of those design mistakes. If you want to do GvG, all you have to do is agree to meet someplace and fight it out. |
Originally posted by Tibernicuspa I know what's available. I've been playing this game since PTS. Fact of the matter is that the game lacks pivotal hotspots and most objectives are a stone's throw from towers/keeps inevitably pulling you into less-than-small-scale engagements as entire zergs warp in out of nowhere before you can even flip a resource node to cut off the transit network. You're talking to me like some sort of infomercial and thinking I have no idea what I am doing. The majority of fun small encounters, right now, occur either entirely at random (which is nice, but too infrequent) as you walk or at PvE hotspots like shards or quest hubs, but these are very limited time offers that will quickly go the way of map completion and jumping puzzles did in WvW for GW2. They are encounter hot spots only while relevant in early game or if some event makes them relevant by force later. There is nothing wrong with the focus being on large scale combat in ESO, that's what many of us bought it for, but that's also all there really is to it that shines. Whatever the flaws and merits of GW2's WvW were, they at least knew how to make and put hotspot objectives for small groups on the map and make them quintisential to the gameplay. There is no supply game to be had in ESO and that, in my opinion, is a major flaw in the design. The flaws that ultimately cut down WvW for many are all just as prevalent here. For GvGing, we'll definitely not be playing this game. The big name EU, and probably NA too, guilds for GvG are still in GW2 and that's probably where we're going to be keeping to our GvGing, the game is free so nothing really stops us. The combat mechanics in ESO are just too shallow as well as unresponsive for organized, competitive deathmatches. |
Originally posted by venats Agree 100%. AvA was supposedly designed by the guys who did RvR for DAOC... but it sure doesn't look like it. AvA in TESO is uninspired at best. Zerg... die from some opponent you never even see... respawn a mile away... run back to the fight... zerg... die from some opponent you never even see... respawn a mile away... run back to the fight... zerg... rinse and repeat. Not for me... I tried a lower populated campaign with one of my alts and it was a continual "Where is everyone?" <--crickets--> They need to eliminate 80% of the available campaigns and then reduce the size of the zone to about half of what it is. |
A MMO design is always under revision, and I can easily see adjustments emphasizing more small scale action. "Cut the map size in half" is not a serious design suggestion. The scale itself is the draw for a lot of folks, including me. I'd also not put a lot of weight on campaign organization and populations in the first couple of weeks after a game release. It'll take time for the organized teams to work out how they want to approach things; and I seriously doubt that any one online poster speaks for all of them. |
Originally posted by Yoda_Clone It was made by ONE of the founders of Mythic, and it shows, because it is exactly like most RvR was in DAoC. If you are just slamming your face into the zerg and dying over and over again then you're the problem, that never happened to me. And the distances between fights might actually be slightly too small. As it is already if you try to sneak somewhere ffar away from the front lines, it only takes a few minutes for the enemy to redirect towards you. But seriously, too big? Is 30-60 seconds between fights that big a deal? There NEEDS to be distance between keeps, and it NEEDS to be hard to get around quickly, or fights would be a perpetual stalemate. |
Originally posted by Tibernicuspa This is Firor, man responsible for the death of DAoC that was ToA. I wouldn't put any weight behind his name as being a "good" thing. I get very bad vibes from Craglorn that irk back to the days of ToA's release. |
Originally posted by Tibernicuspa 30-60 seconds between fights? Who are you trying to kid? 10-15 secs IN a fight before dying, then 5+ minutes running back from the nearest "graveyard" unless you have tons of soul stones... which I'm not going to waste in a poorly designed PvP system. |

I went to this church unexpectedly and it was such a pleasant surprise, the church is not really big but the interior is beautiful and fill with nice fresco ( although need urgent renovation), I like this church more than the cathedral.
The Church of La Magdalena is the third most important church in Seville, after the Cathedral and the Church of El Salvador. There is plenty of art in the church. None of the art decorating the church was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, so the treasures have been preserved. Most of the paintings were done by Lucas Valdes and... More
The Church of La Magdalena has plenty of art. The main altarpiece is Baroque and has the image of Santa Maria Magdalena. This was created by Felipe Malo de Molina.

Ive visited many cathedrals and churches in Europe and this one is equally awsome. It will draw that reverential feeling from you.
It is getting restoration works on . It's a nice church and sure it deserves every cent spend on it.
The Church of La Magdalena is really called the Church of Santa Maria Magdalena. Fernando III founded the old Dominican Monastery of San Pablo in 1248. Later the old Gothic church was transformed by Leonardo de Figueroa in 1709 to the present church, which is Baroque in style. There are three naves in the church, which are topped by an... More

The country had been threatened with expulsion unless it paid the money it owed to the collaboration by 1 September and also met other conditions on the status of the project. Then on 29 August, Chile came up with the necessary $2.2m.
The news came as a blow for Australian astronomers, who were poised to take over Chile's 5% share in Gemini. Nevertheless, they may still be able to take part. Informal discussions were held last month during a meeting of the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO) board in Durham, UK. Although the AAO cannot make a bid on behalf of Australia, "we are very hopeful that a solution can be found, " says Ian Corbett, director of science at the UK's Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council and a UK representative to both the AAO and Gemini. "We all recognize the benefits to Gemini if Australia were to join and contribute its expertise and additional funds, " he says. "We are therefore now working together to see if we can establish a basis on which Australia could be invited to join the collaboration."

What is a major theme in To Kill a Mockingbird? How is it developed through different characters?
3 Answers | Add Yours
A major theme in this novel is prejudice, and not just racial prejudice. This is a small town in the 1930s south, and despite the fact that there are some liberal folks there who believe people should be treated equally (Atticus and Miss Maudie, for example), there are still an awful lot of people who think blacks have their place and should just stay in it. During the trial of Tom Robinson, it is shown that even though progress has been made (think of how hard Atticus worked to defend Tom), they still have a long way to go when there is overwhelming evidence to acquit Tom of the rape charges against Mayella Ewell - and yet the jury still finds him guilty.
I said above that the book isn't just about racial prejudice. It's also about intolerance of any kind. Boo Radley is someone who Scout and Jem learn to respect and treat the way they would want to be treated, even though he and his family is vastly different from their own.
Check the link below for more information about the themes of this great book. Good luck!
Another major theme would be Innocence, how the children start off innocent, mainly Scout, however through the events developing around her and the things she learns from the people around her, mainly Atticus, for example, a major quote that Atticus says changes the way she thinks of people dramaticaly "First of all," he said, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." (chpt 3). They are also very innocent as they dont understand the adult mentality, for example the court case, they had little idea about the harsh racism going on.
Building off "pro29's" answer, I would say that another major theme is empathy. Stepping into someone's skin shows the ability to be understanding and empathetic. Similarly Tom Robinson was also empathetic towards Mayella.
Another major theme would be bravery (and cowardice). Atticus, Jem, Dill and Scout display bravery at the Maycomb jail.
To some extent "true justice vs. Maycomb law" also
