The AIA named the 2013 Honor Awards, selecting 28 projects from more than 700 submissions. A total of 11 projects were granted awards for architectural design. The 2013 Honors Awards for Architecture are as follows:
Art Stable, by Olson Kundig Architects (Seattle): The large steel-clad doors that open into the seven-story mixed-use project can be operated using a custom hand wheel and hinge—a system that also makes it possible to lift large objects from the alley into each of the building's five units. The building also features a unique system of geothermal loops, the first of its kind in the U.S.
The Barnes Foundation, by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects (Philadelphia): To enable the relocation of the Barnes from its historic home in Merion, Penn., to downtown Philadelphia, the firm replicated the proportion and configuration of the original galleries in a larger facility that also features a garden and new classroom space.
Boat Pavilion for Long Dock Park, by Architecture Research Office (ARO) (Beacon, N.Y.): A boat pavilion for the Scenic Hudson Land Trust and one of two structures created for Long Dock Park, this structure features a roof made from corrugated steel and storage room for more than 60 kayaks or canoes.
Centra Metropark, by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) (Iselin, N.J.): The firm added 10,000 square feet to the top floor to a dated, suburban structure, making for a contemporary office environment through the use of a high-performance enclosure. This project won a 2011 Annual Design Review award.
Lee Hall College of Architecture addition at Clemson University, by Thomas Phifer and Partners (Clemson, S.C.): The 55,000-square-foot addition accommodates 12 different degree programs by introducing creative interdisciplinary exchanges throughout the exceedingly energy-efficient building.
Mason Lane Farm Operations Facility by De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop (Goshen, Ky.): The design by De Leon & Primmer for this farm complex takes several buildings and farm operations and consolidates them in one. The firm used locally grown bamboo to make a resilient building skin for a structure otherwise made with a conventional kit-of-parts approach.
Milstein Hall at Cornell University, by Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) (Ithaca, N.Y.): This building—the first in more than 100 years at Cornell's College of Architecture, Art and Planning—considers the long and distinguished architectural history of the program with an addition that unifies the complex.
Morse and Ezra Stiles Colleges, renovation, by KieranTimberlake (New Haven, Conn.): The renovation of the Yale University residential colleges designed by Eero Saarinen provides 25,000 square feet of new student activity space below grade and transforms outdoor hardscapes into a sustainable landscape.
The New York Public Library, exterior restoration, by Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates (New York City): Entrusted with the signature work of Carrère and Hastings and one of New York's most important civic monuments, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates oversaw the New York Public Library's $50 million renovation in advance of its 2011 centennial.
Saint Nicholas Eastern Orthodox Church, by Marlon Blackwell Architect (Springdale, Ark.): The architects transformed an existing metal shop into a sanctuary on the same site, one whose skin is recognizable from the nearby interstate despite the small scale of the structure.
Vancouver Convention Center West, by LMN Architects + MCM/DA, (Vancouver, Canada): This LEED Canada Platinum–certified project unifies Vancouver's urban core with its harbor by highlighting natural landforms through interior architecture, urban design, and civic spaces that blend with the natural ecosystem.
The jury for the 2013 Institute Honor Awards for Architecture includes Mary Katherine (Mary Kay) Lanzillotta, FAIA, of Hartman-Cox Architects (chair); Brian Fitzsimmons, AIA, of Fitzsimmons Architects; John Kane, FAIA, of Architekton; William Leddy, FAIA, of Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects; Philip Loheed, AIA, of BTA Architects; Robert Maschke, AIA, of Robert Maschke Architects; Douglas L. Milburn, Assoc. AIA, of Isaksen Glerum Wachter; and Becky Joyce Yannes, AIAS representative, ofDrexel University.

Lifting for now
Just wondering if anyone out there has thrown an IFS lift on there toyota 4x4. I picked up a used trail master lift and was going to put it on until i can afford a total chaos system or have the time and money to fab up my own.
Just wondering how much time it should take to install it and how easy it is.... looks simple. Im going to do it now while i have the engine out.
And the other part is im having trouble getting instructions for it. So i might just go for it with out. Any comments would be great.
Also keep a look out for a thread on rebuilding a 22re. Going to rebuild, maybe bore over to add to the new had and cam it got before a rod bearing went out on it.

Solid axle is the way to go. Sell the IFS lift to finance part of the project.
I have a spare axle, too, but I want to keep it for spare parts.
Here is my low-buck suspension. Very flexible, pretty common setup for people to run, rear springs up front, chevy springs out back.
Front suspension:
Springs: Rear 1983 springs with (2) overload leaves removed. Added in the top 3 leaves from a set of 1985 rears, cut to length. ($5 for new center pins)
Shackles: 5.5" long, from 2"x3/8" bar stock. Grade-8 3/4" bolts with nylock nuts. ($20 in materials)
Shocks: F250 shock mounts ($25 for the pair from the local ford dealer), Gabriel Gas riders for a F150 rear with 4" lift. (13" travel $29 shipped for the pair, brand new from fruit-ridge automotive on ebay)
Springs: 1997 chevy 1/2 ton 2wd truck springs(3 leaf + overload), overload trimmed into a 6" long block. ($60 from local junkyard)
Shackles & mounts: Mounts made from 3.5x3.5x5/16" box channel ($6), shackles 7" eye to eye made from 2" x 3/8" bar stock, 3/4" and 9/16" grade-8 bolts ($20)
Shocks: Gabriel gas riders for a ford bronco front with 4" lift (13 inch travel, $29 shipped for the pair), I use the original front bayonnet shock mounts welded to the rear crossmember.
Brake lines: Marlin Crawler 26" lines. ($80). You could go a little cheaper and run double rear lines + 300ZX lines up front for about $50-60...
$274 for the complete lift.
You'll need some u-bolts & plates for the front, thats pretty easy. You'll also need a new front spring hanger, can be made for maybe $20 if you have tools and a welder.
Really should run crossover steering with a solid axle. You already have the correct steering box. Hi steer from Marlin is around $350, its a great deal. You'd want some 1.5" spacers for the front(or get the kit to run the IFS hubs on your solid axle) to match the width of the rear axle. Your front calipers will work good using some FJ-40 land cruiser rotors for better front brakes.
If you don't have the money to do it all, I'd just run the IFS lift and start gathering parts, then do the solid axle swap when you have everything to do it right.
This is my truck, an 83 chassis, 85 body...

Truck looks pretty tight good ideas. I even have the gm springs already. I htin ki am going to run the lift for now because of money and all... Th eengine alone is going to eat most of that up... I am modify my ball joint though like downey does... Hopefully i can pick up that extr 3 inches of travel. Im also hesitant on doing the sas becuase i have a Xj that i will strat work on once the warranty is up. And in the long run the yota is getting a full Total chaos suspension set up, coilovers and deaver springs.
Just need to get it going again so i don't beat up the xj, it is my dd

I have the Trailcrapper lift on my truck. Don't even waste your time installing it. My truck is being SAS'd by JCR starting next week, time for a real front suspension!! That rear crossmember they give you is a cheap piece of crap, I dented mine up into the diff. Also broke one of the lift brackets, sheared it right in half (was barely able to limp it off the trail), and I broke a torsion bar mount on my last Badlands trip. Enough of that!!

Before I actually sat down and compared, I opened up a poll to get a better understanding of the community opinion on the subject.
Click on image to enlarge
As can be seen from the chart above, it seems GNOME is still a community favorite, but KDE seems to be catching up somehow.
Anyways, let's just jump straight into it: let the battle begin.
KDE SC 4.5.2 versus GNOME 2.32.0
I will break this comparison into categories, as follows:
1.- Look & Feel
2.- User friendly/Intuitive
3.- Application Catalog
4.- Connectivity
5.- Performance
6.- Energy Management
Most comments I read comparing both GNOME and KDE show a clear tendency to find the latter more visually attractive. Not surprisingly, KDE provides endless different ways to tweak colors and style, including a more polished default Look&Feel. There are some strange limitations to KDE in this area, though. For example, changing icon themes is still somewhat buggy and very few icon themes, if any, can substitute Oxygen properly. In addition, control themes are very limited and changing them from the GUI is anything but intuitive. Last but not least, font rendering, even if apparently more flexible that GNOME's, is not as sharp and fonts never look as good in comparison.
It almost "makes sense" that KDE should get this one, but scratching beneath the surface shows that it is still not fully ready to win the crown. Even if not offering the same level of flexibility or good looks out of the box, GNOME provides a solid set of features, all of which work as expected. I am sure KDE will get there eventually, but for now they are matched.
|Result: DRAW
If we agree that most Linux users have previously used some way, shape or form of a
Unfortunately, once past those subtle similarities, KDE no longer feels that intuitive and requires more time to get used to. As a simple example, GNOME users only need to right click on their desktop to access a wide array of appearance settings. Anything from icon themes to window decoration, fonts or wallpapers can be controlled from a single applet. Not only that, but installation of pretty much any kind of theme happens on that same window, so even if users didn't know about it, they would very quickly grasp the concept. A similar action for a user new to KDE would probably take longer as s/he finds which of the KDE System settings categories provide the functionality s/he is looking for.
Another area that plays against KDE is its unpredictability. In other words, some concepts follow a certain logic that is unfortunately not fully consistent throughout. As a simple example, a KDE user would go to System Settings in order to change an icon theme. Similarly, s/he would again go to System Settings in order to modify system keyboard shortcuts, color schemes, fonts or desktop themes. How about changing an application icon or adding a new custom keyboard shortcut? KDE System Settings again, right? Not so, users will need some luck to find those options as part of the main menu editor.
As a final thought, KDE is more actively evolving right now. Evolution implies change, and change always ends up bringing early confusion and requiring extra effort from users to adjust and learn new features. For instance, KDE SC 4.5 series brought changes in many areas, such as the KDE System Settings tool, which was rearranged a bit.
Due to its superior stability and a more intuitive design, GNOME still maintains a comfortable lead in this area. KDE must standardize its concepts so they consistently apply across the whole environment, as well as ensure that certain basic elements, such as icon theme management, work perfectly out of the box.
|Result: GNOME WINS
Both KDE and GNOME provide great applications as part of the default installation. Different distros usually decide which ones to keep and which ones to substitute, so it is sometimes becomes difficult to know which application catalog is best. For the purpose of this comparison, I will narrow things down to a bunch of common application categories that belong in the GNOME and KDE projects respectively:
|Internet browser
|Epiphany vs Konqueror
|Audio player
|Rhythmbox vs Amarok
|File Roller vs Ark
|Video player
|Totem vs Dragon
|Text editor
|Gedit vs Kwrite
|File Manager
|Nautilus vs Dolphin
|eMail client
|Evolution vs Kmail
|Instant messaging
|Empathy vs Kopete
Indeed, things are pretty even, both application catalogs are fabulous. Only personal preference can tilt the balance either way.
|Result: DRAW
In this case, I will focus on how each desktop manager provides access to the most common connection media, such as Ethernet, Wireless, Bluetooth and 3G.
One interesting fact about the KDE network manager is that it is not that simple to test it in most popular distros. Some, like Fedora, include the GNOME network manager, while others like PCLinuxOS stick to the Mandriva one. Kubuntu is one of the few shipping with the default KDE network manager, but it is not unusual to see people recommending its substitution by GNOME network manager or WiCD. I believe this is already a relevant sign that KDE is not there yet, perhaps not mature or solid enough.
Ethernet: Both KDE and GNOME network managers work straight away as long as the hardware is recognized, not much to say here.
Wireless: A different beast altogether, user experience will depend directly on their hardware and how well their OS copes with it. I must say, though, that I LOVED the network manager in Kubuntu 10.10. In my experience, it works faster and just as reliably as its GNOME counterpart. In fact the KDE panel networking applet is a great piece of work with an easy to use interface that does provide lots of information, such as a small network traffic monitoring chart. The network manager applet in GNOME is a very solid and thoroughly tested application, and even if it may provide superior stability, it still lacks some pretty basic features (wireless network list manual refresh, anyone?) and its design could be improved to deliver more information and in a clearer way.
Internet Everywhere/3G: The GNOME network manager has supported this kind of devices for some time now, which makes it the more reliable and better working option.
Bluetooth: Similarly, bluetooth support is and has been more stable in GNOME for some time now. KDE is a bit of hit and miss, and configuring/managing devices can be a pain. Kubuntu 10.10 sports a correctly configured instance of BlueDevil, which does feel more robust. Having said so, I still experienced frequent issues when browsing external devices.
All in all, even if KDE is catching up quickly, it still lacks the stability that is key in such a critical area. The OS paradigm is quickly changing following the cloud revolution, and rock solid connectivity features are a must now more than ever.
|Result: GNOME WINS
I believe that performance benchmarks are very difficult in this case because desktop managers always sit on top of a particular Linux distro and Kernel combination, both of which do have an influence on performance. Even if we compared Kubuntu and Ubuntu, benchmarks wouldn't be 100% fair, for there are slight differences in how they are built and the number of features each offers.
In any case, based on my experience and even if KDE has vastly improved lately, this one still goes to GNOME. Startup times are generally faster, and so are standard actions, such as opening applications, browsing devices, loading icons, etc.
With all the above in mind, it is important to keep an eye on the evolution of the technology behind both GNOME and KDE. For example, QT 4.7 release was announced recently, stressing significant performance gains which should cascade down by the time KDE SC 4.6 goes live. It wouldn't surprise me if KDE matched or maybe even surpassed GNOME in terms of performance soon.
|Result: GNOME WINS
While desktop users will probably not consider this a key element, I believe it is for those using portable devices. Moreover, I believe it only makes sense that open software is not only conscious about freedom and other noble causes, but also about leading responsible and efficient use of energy.
The latest GNOME updates have brought some improvements to energy saving. Surprisingly, I have come to enjoy 15%-20% longer battery life since I installed Ubuntu 10.10. Naturally, that much improvement does not come from GNOME alone, the Kernel is also very much a part of it, but that should not demean what the GNOME developers have achieved.
KDE has also improved in this area, but even more importantly, its approach is much more flexible and powerful. The ability to configure the different energy saving profiles to the smallest detail is simply incredible. Once you get used to it, it really feels like you are missing something when you are on a different desktop manager. In my opinion, KDE is ahead of the game on this one.
|Result: KDE WINS
Judging by the analysis above, it may look as if GNOME was a much better desktop manager than KDE, but that's really not the case. Both are evenly matched on most areas, but there are still some elements making a difference, specially in terms of reliability and ease of use.
The GNOME development community has lately invested many of its resources on the upcoming GNOME shell release. Because of that, the current GNOME desktop has not been experiencing the aggressive evolution that KDE is enjoying (and sometimes suffering from). As a result, GNOME has become more and more solid with each recent release, which I believe has played to its advantage. On the other hand, KDE is relentlessly evolving, and even if that aggressive development is risky at times, it is already bringing tangible results. I believe it just needs a small effort to rationalize all concepts and settle down a few features to more stable levels.
If I had to say which one is best today, I would have to go with GNOME, if only because I consider its superior reliability a critical element. Looking forward, though, the picture is anything but clear. The GNOME shell has been heavily criticized and suffers from never ending delays (which may explain why Ubuntu has decided to drop its use and go with Unity). The latest KDE releases are achieving the exact opposite, getting users excited with recent releases and the vast improvements that came with them. I believe that the final release of the GNOME shell and KDE SC 5.0 (which may coincide in the second half of 2011) will be the decisive point that may tilt the balance one way or the other.
I have to admit, my vote goes to KDE SC 5.0.
Thanks for reading

Paul Laurence Dunbar
Poet Details
Dunbar began showing literary promise while still in high school in Dayton, Ohio, where he lived with his widowed mother. The only black in his class, he became class president and class poet. By 1889, two years before he graduated, he had already published poems in the Dayton Herald and worked as editor of the short-lived Dayton Tattler, a newspaper for blacks published by classmate Orville Wright, who later gained fame with brother Wilbur Wright as inventors of the airplane.
Dunbar aspired to a career in law, but his mother's meager financial situation precluded his university education. He consequently sought immediate employment with various Dayton businesses, including newspapers, only to be rejected because of his race. He finally settled for work as an elevator operator, a job that allowed him time to continue writing. At this time Dunbar produced articles, short stories, and poems, including several in the black-dialect style that later earned him fame.
In 1892 Dunbar was invited by one of his former teachers to address the Western Association of Writers then convening in Dayton. At the meeting Dunbar befriended James Newton Matthews, who subsequently praised Dunbar's work in a letter to an Illinois newspaper. Matthews's letter was eventually reprinted by newspapers throughout the country and thus brought Dunbar recognition outside Dayton. Among the readers of this letter was poet James Whitcomb Riley, who then familiarized himself with Dunbar's work and wrote him a commendatory letter. Bolstered by the support of both Matthews and Riley, Dunbar decided to publish a collection of his poems. He obtained additional assistance from Orville Wright and then solicited a Dayton firm, United Brethren Publishing, that eventually printed the work, entitled Oak and Ivy, for a modest sum.
In Oak and Ivy Dunbar included his earliest dialect poems and many works in standard English. Among the latter is one of his most popular poems, "Sympathy," in which he expresses, in somber tone, the dismal plight of blacks in American society. In another standard English poem, "Ode to Ethiopia," he records the many accomplishments of black Americans and exhorts his fellow blacks to maintain their pride despite racial abuse. The popularity of these and other poems inspired Dunbar to devote himself more fully to writing.
Shortly after the publication of Oak and Ivy Dunbar was approached by attorney Charles A. Thatcher, an admirer sympathetic to Dunbar's college education. Dunbar, however, was greatly encouraged by sales of Oak and Ivy and so rejected Thatcher to pursue a literary career. Thatcher then applied himself to promoting Dunbar in nearby Toledo, Ohio, and helped him obtain work there reading his poetry at libraries and literary gatherings. Dunbar also found unexpected support from psychiatrist Henry A. Tobey, who helped distribute Oak and Ivy in Toledo and occasionally sent Dunbar much needed financial aid.
Tobey eventually teamed with Thatcher in publishing Dunbar's second verse collection, Majors and Minors. In this book Dunbar produced poems on a variety of themes and in several styles. He grouped the more ambitious poems, those written in standard English, under the heading "Majors," and he gathered the more superficial, dialect works as "Minors." Although Dunbar invested himself most fully in his standard poetry—which bore the influences of such poets as the English romantics and Americans such as Riley—it was the dialect verse that found greater favor with his predominantly white readership, and it was by virtue of these dialect poems that Dunbar gained increasing fame throughout the country. Instrumental to Dunbar's growing popularity was a highly positive, though extremely patronizing, review by eminent novelist William Dean Howells. Writing in Harper's Weekly, Howells praised Dunbar as "the first man of his color to study his race objectively" and commended the dialect poems as faithful representations of the black race.
Through Thatcher and Tobey, Dunbar met an agent and secured more public readings and a publishing contract. He then published Lyrics of Lowly Life, a poetry collection derived primarily from verse already featured in Oak and Ivy and Majors and Minors. This new volume sold impressively across America and established Dunbar as the nation's foremost black poet. On the strength of his recent acclaim Dunbar commenced a six-month reading tour of England. There he found publishers for a British edition of Lyrics of Lowly Life and befriended musician Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, with whom he then collaborated on the operetta "Dream Lovers."
When Dunbar returned to the United States in 1897 he obtained a clerkship at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Soon afterwards he married fellow writer Alice Ruth Moore. Although his health suffered during the two years he lived in Washington, the period nonetheless proved fruitful for Dunbar. In 1898 he published his first short story collection, Folks From Dixie, in which he delineated the situation of blacks in both pre-and post-emancipation United States. Although these tales, unlike some of his dialect verse, were often harsh examinations of racial prejudice, Folks From Dixie was well received upon publication.
Not so Dunbar's first novel, The Uncalled, which recalled Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter in probing the spiritual predicament of a minister. Critics largely rejected The Uncalled as dull and unconvincing in its portrait of Frederick Brent, a pastor who had, in childhood, been abandoned by an alcoholic father and then raised by a zealously devout spinster, Hester Prime (Hawthorne's protagonist in The Scarlet Letter was named Hester Prynne). After securing a pastor's post, Brent alienated church-goers by refusing to reproach an unwed mother. He resigns from his pastorship and departs for Cincinnati. After further misadventure—he ends his marriage engagement and encounters his father, now a wandering preacher—Brent finds fulfillment and happiness as minister in another congregation.
At the end of 1898, his health degenerating still further, Dunbar left the Library of Congress and commenced another reading tour. He published another verse collection, Lyrics of the Hearthside, and recovered any status he may have jeopardized with The Uncalled. In the spring of 1899, however, his health lapsed sufficiently to threaten his life. Ill with pneumonia, the already tubercular Dunbar was advised to rest in the mountains. He therefore moved to the Catskills in New York State, but he continued to write while recovering from his ailments.
In 1900, after a brief stay in Colorado, Dunbar returned to Washington, DC. Shortly before his return he published another collection of tales, The Strength of Gideon, in which he continued to recount black life both before and after slavery. Reviewers at the time favored his pre-emancipation stories full of humor and sentiment, while ignoring more volatile accounts of abuse and injustice. More recently these latter stories have gained greater recognition from critics eager to substantiate Dunbar's opposition to racism.
Dunbar followed The Strength of Gideon with his second novel, The Love of Landry, about an ailing woman who arrives in Colorado for convalescence and finds true happiness with a cowboy. Like the earlier Uncalled, The Love of Landry was deemed unconvincing in its presentation of white characters and was dismissed as inferior to Dunbar's tales of blacks. Dunbar suffered further critical setback with his next novel, The Fanatics, about America at the beginning of the Civil War. Its central characters are from white families who differ in their North-South sympathies and spark a dispute in their Ohio community. The Fanatics was a commercial failure upon publication, and in the ensuing years it has continued to be regarded as a superficial, largely uncompelling work. Among the novel's many detractors is Robert Bone, who wrote in The Negro in America that Dunbar resorted to "caricature in his treatment of minor Negro characters" and that his stereotypic portraits of black characters only served to reinforce prejudice.
The Sport of the Gods, Dunbar's final novel, presents a far more critical and disturbing portrait of black America. The work centers on butler Berry Hamilton and his family. After Berry is wrongly charged with theft by his white employers, he is sentenced to ten years of prison labor. His remaining family—wife, son, and daughter—consequently find themselves targets of abuse in their southern community, and after being robbed by the local police they head north to Harlem. There they encounter further hardship and strife: the son becomes embroiled in the city's seamy nightlife and succumbs to alcoholism and crime; the naive daughter is exploited by fellow blacks and begins a questionable dancing career; and the mother, convinced that her husband's prison sentence has negated their marriage, weds an abusive profligate. A happy resolution is achieved only after Berry's accuser confesses, while dying, that his charge was fabricated, whereupon Berry is released from prison. He then travels north and finds his family in disarray. But the cruel second husband is then, conveniently, murdered, and the parental Hamiltons are reunited in matrimony.
Although its acclaim was hardly unanimous, The Sport of the Gods nonetheless earned substantial praise as a powerful novel of protest. By this time, however, Dunbar was experiencing considerable turmoil in his own life. Prior to writing The Sport of the Gods he had suffered another lapse of poor health, and he compounded his problems by resorting to alcohol. And after The Sport of the Gods appeared in 1902, Dunbar's marital situation—always troublesome—degenerated further due to his continued reliance on alcohol and to antagonism from his wife's parents.
Dunbar and his wife separated in 1902, but that separation only contributed to his continued physical and psychological decline. The next year, following a nervous breakdown and another bout of pneumonia, Dunbar managed to assemble another verse collection, Lyrics of Love and Laughter, and another short story collection, In Old Plantation Days. With Lyrics of Love and Laughter he confirmed his reputation as America's premier black poet. The volume contains both sentimental and somberly realistic expressions and depictions of black life, and it features both dialect and standard English verse. In Old Plantation Days is comprised of twenty-five stories set on a southern plantation during the days of slavery. Here Dunbar once again resorted to caricaturing his own race, portraying black slaves as faithful and obedient, slow-witted but good-natured workers appreciative of their benevolent white owners. Dunbar drew the ire of many critics for his stereotyped characters, and some of his detractors even alleged that he contributed to racist concepts while simultaneously disdaining such thinking.
If In Old Plantation Days was hardly a pioneering work, it was at least a lucrative publication and one that confirmed the preferences of much of Dunbar's public. With the short story collection The Heart of Happy Hollow he presented a greater variety of perspectives on aspects of black life in America, and he even included a tale on the moral folly of lynching. Dunbar followed The Heart of Happy Hollow with two more poetry collections, Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow and Howdy, Honey, Howdy, both of which featured works from previous volumes.
Dunbar's health continued to decline even as he persisted in producing poems. But his reliance on alcohol to temper his chronic coughing only exacerbated his illness, and by the winter of 1905 he was fatally ill. He died on February 9, 1906, at age thirty-three.
In the years immediately following his death, Dunbar's standing as America's foremost black poet seemed assured, and his dialect poems were prized as supreme achievements in black American literature. In the ensuing decades, however, his reputation was damaged by scholars questioning the validity of his often stereotypic characterizations and his apparent unwillingness to sustain an anti-racist stance. Among his most vehement detractors from this period was Victor Lawson, whose Dunbar Critically Examined remains a provocative, if overly aggressive, study.
More recently Dunbar's stature has increased markedly. He is once again regarded as America's first great black poet, and his standard English poems are now, perhaps surprisingly, prized as his greatest achievements in verse. Contemporary champions include Addison Gayle, Jr., whose Oak and Ivy: A Biography of Paul Laurence Dunbar, is considered a key contribution to Dunbar studies, and black poet Nikki Giovanni, whose prose contribution to A Singer in the Dawn: Reinterpretations of Paul Laurence Dunbar, edited by Jay Martin, hails Dunbar as "a natural resource of our people." For Giovanni, as for other Dunbar scholars, his work constitutes both a history and a celebration of black life. "There is no poet, black or nonblack, who measures his achievement," she declared. "Even today. He wanted to be a writer and he wrote."

Poet Categorization
If you disagree with this poet's categorization, make a suggestion.
Paul Laurence Dunbar was one the first influential black poets in American literature. He enjoyed his greatest popularity in the early twentieth century following the publication of dialectic verse in collections such as Majors and Minors and Lyrics of Lowly Life. But the dialectic poems constitute only a small portion of Dunbar's canon, which is replete with novels, short stories, essays, and many poems in standard English. In its entirety, Dunbar's literary body has been acclaimed as an impressive representation of black life in turn-of-the-century America. As Dunbar's friend James Weldon Johnson noted in the preface to his Book of American Poetry: "Paul Laurence Dunbar stands out as the first poet from the Negro race in the United States to show a combined mastery over poetic material and poetic technique, to reveal innate literary distinction in what he wrote, and to maintain a high level of performance. He was the...

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by himat, Feb 13, 2008.
Do you call nearly averaging a triple double playing horribly on purpose? Even Lebra can't do that.
The main job of a point guard is too make the rest of the team better on offense. Kidd had Carter and Jefferson at NJ and NJ was still third last in scoring. NBA.com Triple doubles don't mean squat as a point guard if your team can't score especially when you have two offensive players like Jefferson and Carter. If you watched NJ this year their offense was in total disarray. A friggen disaster. I saw one of Kidd's last game with the Nets when they recently played and lost to the Lakers at home. The Nets offense was terrible and Kidd was the point guard.
If the Nets keep sucking - post trade, anybody wanna make a serious run at Diop over the summer???
This one is waaaaaaaay toooo easy to get myself in trouble over.
We already have a DeSagana Diop. ...We just call him Cheikh Samb.
Cheick Samb is only half of a Diop. The better half, maybe, but not the more useful half.
Don't remind me. The Mourning situation makes me sick just to think about it again
Carter and Jefferson are both streak shooters that become one dimensional players when their shot isn't falling. They are only hyped by the media to be anything else Do you have any sort of measurable standard of correlation to prove or disprove your comparison of Dirk/Howard and Jefferson/Carter as it relates to the total PPG output, FG% of the team, etc ? Or are we just going to make up standards as we go along?
Kidd can still pass, especially in a broken field. Problems with that: Dallas plays an extremely slow game; there aren't many fast breaks in their offense. Kidd can pass in halfcourt sets, especially when there's off-ball movement. Problems with that: Dallas plays isolation basketball, so Kidd wouldn't have the ball in his hands anywhere near as much as he'd like. Dallas's better scorers don't like to move without the ball. Kidd's become one of the worst scorers in the NBA, so he can't run the pick-and-roll much. Kidd's triple-doubles will dry up now that he's playing alongside Dampier, Nowitzki, and Howard, and defensively he's an absolute turnstile against quicker guards like - I don't know, Tony Parker, Chris Paul, Rafer Alston, Derek Fisher, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, and Monta Ellis. He can guard bigger points and swingmen, but Terry can't guard anyone. I don't think he's playing below his capability; I think he just isn't that good anymore, at least good enough where his talents completely outweigh his flaws. As for Harris, he's got quick feet and the refs buy his flops, but he'll get torched by bigger guards, he doesn't see the floor well at all, and his jumpshot is not good. Maybe he'll improve his shot, maybe he won't; but he'll never be a great point guard.
Go ahead. Give it a shot.
I suggest looking at the Mav's ppg Right now they are averaging 99.3 ppg with a + 3.9 ppg differential. NJ is now averaging 93.6 ppg with a negative differential of 5.3 ppg Let us see what they are at the end of the year. NBA.com
Your post seems to me to correctly assess the situation.
Re-worked possible deal: ESPN - Nets, Mavs appear closer to finishing redone Kidd trade - NBA
If Joe could somehow land Diop THIS season, - I'd say YES! But over the summer there's gonna be a TON of FAs available. And Samb will have one more off-season to eat cheeseburgers and develop his game.
Wow. So they are going to get Jason Kidd AND keep George? What a coup.
And Stack too without him takin 30 days rest.
Pretty unbelievable some of the deals these Western teams have pulled off -- whether they work out or not. Sloan and Pop gotta be pissed.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Now, I would say this is a great trade for them.
Well in the end only one of those deals will workout as it relates to getting to the finals this eason. The laker deal is the only one that will possibly pay dividends beyond this year, (depending on how Greg Oden develops in the NW), but it would be a hoot if the Hornets or Jazz actually win out this season leaving the major traders pondering what went wrong...
The mav's will self destruct and so will Phoenix. The mavs are letting thier big man go. They are going to take a turn for the worst unless they make another move.
Separate names with a comma.

I don't ride the safety, so I will just keep the V1 on my USPC - but for people who do - I can see why U would want that...

Good read JWkimber45 & good photo's. Thanks.
Great Pix! I'll second the ease of switching those plates.
I ordered one of each for about $8.00 each so I could experiment with my USPc. I like cocked and locked, but settled on decock only (V3+4) since I'm used to DA autos.
It takes about 30 seconds to change the plates after you've done it a time or two.

6" rod small block chevy engine
I have done a search of the site (to the best of my limited ability)and was unable to find sufficent information on the advantages of a 6" rod engine. I have been told there is a significant increase in torque and fuel milage when 6" rods are used. Other info I have found indicates the exact opposite. The way it was explained to meis as follows: longer rod= piston stays at tdc longer and provides longer burn time hence more torque and a higher efficency of operation. I would assume the wristpin would need to be higher in the piston and displacement would not be changed. If anyone has any info or a link to such info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
6 inchers
It also takes the side load off the piston which makes your engine last longer. Your rings will also keep the seal in the bore better but as for the torque? You will notice if you do more research that you will hardly notice any more torque on the dyno, You will just see the torque has been shifted up in the RPM band. When I was in an engine program for a race team we did alot of dyno testing and found that when we install shorter rods (5.7")we would do better on a short track (3/8 mile) and when we went to a longer track (1 mile) we would use the 6 1/4" rod engines. Both engines would put out the same overall power but the short rod engine seemed to have more grunt on the lower RPM band. I personally have built myself a small block 406 and I used 6 " rods in the engine. I feel that engines that stay under 4500RPM should use shorter rods but since I built my engine out of E bayed and scrap parts, I ended up with a long rod 406 that comes on like a turbo car.

Oh my Gawd, the Bashing on Archerytalk
Have any of you been on AT lately. There is nothing but bashing on that site. You have to read 10 threads to find anything of value.
The constant bickering makes me sick. This place is like a breath of fresh air.

I'll 2nd that!
AT has really been going thru some growing pains lately. Hopefully they will get a hold of things soon, before it ruins the whole site. Believe me when I say, that as big as they are, it is not an easy job keeping up with everything that is going on. They probably need to add more staff members, but it's important to get the right folks, to continue to keep it fun without any heavy moderating.
On the other hand, there are probably some that are there just to stir things up. Martin Archery has done an awesome job with that site and I'am sure that things will settle down pretty shortly.

The only thing i go over there for is the classifieds, get some real good deals on used stuff. other than that not much else worth looking at......This however is the place to be I think. I just hope that this place does not turn into that, and I think Chris has that part just about covered. Keep up the good work guys......
Dream Job.....Moderator on 3-D shoots.....now that would be awsome.I cut things up and split them down!
I was lucky enough to get some good info on string waxing. Of course I didn't mention my new Bowtech!!!!!!_____________________________________________

Ah.. yes with a site that size moderators are absolutely necessary. However, good moderators are hard to come by.
Dreamjob, I don't know about that, but it is fun.
I have goals and aspirations for this site. I love hearing everyones ideas on how we can improve. Some ideas I take and some I leave but I listen to them all.
I try to give everyone want they want and that is a good site to visit, share experiences and hopefully learn some things about our great sport of archery.Chris Christenson - Admin

AT is losing it
MoBowman, excellent post my friend. I agree that they do want to bash alot over there but, I have found some good reading over there as well. I also like it here much better I told a friend of mine about this place and he said we we too slow and not enough members hitting the site daily. I said thats one thing that is nice you do not have all the trouble makers over here as on AT. I would like to see us grow but not with members with bad attitudes. I think Chris does a fine job here and I would like to thank him for his hard work. As for Adam being a Mod. only if he wises up and puts a WB on his SB and hunts with it. J/K Thanks again to everyone for making this site so good.
The nice thing is we are growing daily and traffic is increasing. It is exponential so the more we grow, the faster we grow.Chris Christenson - Admin

Oh my Gawed, The bashing on Archerytalk
Yeah Its been getting worse lately. It seems with competition of bows getting closer to each other with specs. is rising tempers in the crowed. Have noticed an over populated posts of Bowtech haters out there. There are alot of pure believers in there bows manufacturers. And everything else is junk. I got into a few heated battles a few months ago about a topic as such. A few guys tried to say Mathews was the best. And another said Hoyt. I asked what makes them better than the rest. They said "because they are." So you have no proof ? Then they came back to say. look how many tourneys they won. Then I laughed. If bows were that far aprt in quality. You wouldnt see pro's jumping from manufaturer to the other. The bows are part of the equation. But the shooter is the big part.
I shoot competative archery. I have shot all brands. None actually make me shoot better. Some feel better. but, I couldnt pick up a bow set it up and shoot a perfect score on the 3d range. Nor, could I shoot 20 rounds of spots w/ 60X. That started a war. LOL!!!!
I dont post much there any more!!! you cant give any help to someone with out roid rage coming out from another person!!I would like to thank all my sponsers:Alpine Archery Pro Staff, Tru-Ball Releases Staff , Hydronics Archery Pro Staff,Victory Arrows Staff, Bohning Archery , Vibra-Check , TP Scope Lenses Pro Staff, Mossy Oak Pro Staff....
It's not the bow, its the archer. You can give a pro a 15yr old piece of crap bow and he still going to beat you on a 3D course.Chris Christenson - Admin

Everyone is 100% correct. AT currently has a lot of posting that I'm not interested in reading. While you can get an answer to nearly any archery question, unfortunately, there is a lot of bad information.
Fortunately, there is still the search feature. If you want information, you can get it from some of the top archers in the sport. The information may be a couple of years old, but it is mostly still valid.
No good info on AT???
Hey guys,
Look at the info I got. I even said I have a Bowtech. http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=317213 Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic site (3Dshoots) and I have gotten fantastic info here too. There is alot of brand die-hards but I stay away from that... you can usually see it coming too.
Thanks to everyone in the archery community that is willing to share and help!

I don't understand the bow bashing. The "my bow is better than your bow". I'll believe this the first time I see a bow walk up to the stake, load and arrow and shoot by itself!
It's the shooter people, not the bow. Let's take an average archer and hand them a perfectly setup "high end bow" (no names here). Then give a pro archer a 15 yr old piece of crap with a few pins on it. Let the competition begin.

Bow bashing over there, Forum bashing over here.
My forum is better than your forum, see the irony.
There are good eggs and bad eggs where ever you go, if AT isn't such a good place why is everyone trying to copy there success. look I get just as irrated by some of the yahoos over there but guess what people are people and when people get together they are going to irrate one another sooner or later think about the last time you had to spend a whole day with your family or even better your inlaws. lol
love the sight but it is a little slow for anyone with a 4 grade reading level or better.

I know this is only my second post, and coming from a newbie as well I'm going to apologize in advance for my long windedness...
I'm a memeber over at AT as well as here, and a new member at that.. I've only been over there a few days and I've seen all the M4L talk that goes on. While I'm new to these two forums in particular (here and AT), I'm not new to forums in general. There are certain things that you have to understand when going into a forum.. Any forum for that matter, whether it be about bows, cars, guitars or (insert your favorite whatever here) there are always going to be people that don't like what that forum is about or even the fact that they aren't in the "clique". And believe me, at ANY forum on the net there is always a "clique". Not saying this in a derogatory manner, I'm just saying that there is always a core membership that carry more weight or more influence and it's usually the guys/gals that have been there the longest, have the coolest stuff, or might be better or more respected, etc... Anyway, my take on forums in general is this:
#1: Forums are created to bring like minded people together. In the case of AT (from what I've gathered anyway), Martin bows is the owner and/or operator of the forum. While they promote "Archers helping Archers" and I wholeheartedly agree they are doing this, you have to understand that because it's a "corporate" sponsored website that there is going to be an undercurrent of Martin influence there. No way of getting around it. From what I've seen in my short time there, they do not bash any other bow makers but you have to understand that it's Martin's playhouse so it's to be expected that the guys shooting Martins are going to be a little more outspoken about their bow of choice in their own backyard.
#2: As was said earlier in the thread, there will always be that small section of the population that are there just to start trouble. The correct internet/forum term for these people are "Trolls". Such as the fellow that was PM'ing all the M4L folks and talking smack under an assumed username (if anyone was aware of that). Why do these people do this?? Who knows but it's a fact of life at nearly every larger forum I've even been to.
#3: Forum size has alot to do with it.. Also, as was stated earlier.. AT is a honkin' HUGE forum and with that many people there are bound to be problems. From what I've seen so far, AT is handled in a very commendable manner by the Admins, Mods, and whomever else is in charge of that place. Dealing with that many people on a daily basis is a headache that I'd glady decline to have to mess with.
Anyway, I'll cut it off there.. Sorry for the long winded post but the way I see it is like this. You have to choice to either look at a thread, or pass it by. If you choose to look, and you don't agree with what's going on.. You then have the choice to voice your opinion or stay out of it. I've learned form past experiences, that if you're not being called out directly it's better to just keep your mouth shut.
So basically, in closing what all this mumbo-jumbo I'm trying to say is this. If these guys want to be M4L, then let them be.. After all, it is Martin's site and do you really think than anyone is going to be able to go in there and convince the powers that be that their non-Martin bow is better than theirs? Highly doubtful. Just take that site for what it is, gain whatever knowledge you can while your there and have fun. No need to stress over the bashing and whatnot, it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things.

After nine years teaching Japanese - much frustration. Textbooks do not seem to work. Has any author published something that explains the structure of the sentence/clause in simple terms? For example a simple analysis of the clause - Noun group,Verb group,Adverbials. Or sentence diagramming?
Japanese students need a framework on which to hang
the language.

The Canisius College men's basketball team will take on Iona in the quarterfinal round of the 2013 MAAC Men's Basketball Championship Saturday, March 9, in Springfield, Mass., the MAAC office announced this afternoon. Tipoff is set for 4:30 p.m.
Canisius will enter the conference tournament as the No. 5 seed after the Golden Griffins went 18-12 overall and 11-7 in league play. The 18 wins are the most for the program since the Blue and Gold posted 20 wins in the 2000-01 campaign, and the 11 league wins ties the program record for conference victories in a season since the MAAC moved to an 18-game conference schedule in 1997-98. Canisius finished the year with a school record 11 home wins in the Koessler Athletic Center and the team's plus-13 win differential over the 2011-12 season is the best in school history and ranks third-best in the nation.
Iona will be the No. 4 seed in this year's tournament after the Gaels went 17-13 overall and 11-7 in MAAC action. Iona earned the No. 4 seed with an 80-61 win over Siena at home Sunday afternoon. Senior guard Lamont Jones leads the Iona offense, which started the last weekend of the regular season ranked third in the nation in scoring average at 80.3 points per game. Jones, a Preseason All-MAAC selection prior to the start of this year, leads the MAAC with his 23.4 points per game, which also ranks second in the country. Canisius and Iona split the regular-season series in 2012-13, with each team posting a win on its home court.
This is the second time Canisius has earned the No. 5 seed in the conference's tournament, with the previous occasion coming in 1996, which is also the last time the Griffs won the MAAC title. Canisius has earned a first-round bye in the MAAC Tournament for just the second time since the 2000 tournament and this will mark the sixth all-time meeting between Canisius and Iona in the conference's postseason event, with the Griffs holding a 3-2 advantage in the previous five contests.Saturday's quarterfinal game will be broadcast live on ESPN3 and fans can also hear the game live on AM-1400 in Buffalo and through the Golden Griffin Broadcast Network at GoGriffs.com with Jay Moran and Mike Scott on the call. Fans interested in purchasing tickets in the Canisius fan section are encouraged to call the Canisius Ticket Office at 716-888-2885 or by going online to GoGriffs.com.

Hey guys, with the holiday (read "convention") season coming up, I'm planning on visiting some Friends in San Diego at the end of July... purely uncoincidentally, my trip coincides, almost exactly, with the dates of San Diego ComiCon.
Now, I have had lots of people try to discourage me from doing what I'm about to say: I'm going to take Jango with me, and troop alongside my SoCal and Old Line Garrison Buddies. Something I've been longing to do since I first conceptualised my project.
Now I'm sure some of you have traveled overseas with your costumes, and I'm begging, nay pleading for some advice on travelling with a costume. I'm fairly confident I can fit it into a brand new 38 x 20 x 20 travelling chest, and still have some room for padding. However, my real question I suppose is with airport/airline ettiquette. Obviously I'm carrying some fairly dubious looking stuff, including two plastic blasters, a resin jet pack rocket, and two wired up gauntlets.
Will I have to empty the chest at Airport security, or declare at customs, or what? I'd like to know exactly what I have to do, well in advance, so that I can forsee any problems or time delays.

Hi Lucy,
I am currently taking a course in the hope of becoming a teacher - and this is the only question that has stumped me!!!
I have been asked to put the sentences in the following chronological order - and this is how I ordered them:
We lived in Pretoria for a while before we moved to Durban
We lived in Durban for 5 years
**********We were going to move to Port Elizabeth in 1983 but my job there fell through*********
We live in Johannesburg
We're going to live in Capetown
By the time we move to Cape Town, we'll have spent 3 years in Johannesburg
After we've lived in Capetown for a few years, we''ll move back to Johannesburg
The only sentence I struggled with was where to put the asterisked one. I think its in the right place but I don't know why - it just reads well haha.
Could you please let me know if the ordering is correct or incorrect? Please help I'm going crazy:(

It's a lucky break for me that cabbage happens to be one of the most diet-friendly ingredients around, as well as being an uber-nutritious cruciferous vegetable, because I'm such a huge fan of cabbage salad like this Spicy Cilantro Peanut Slaw that I could eat it almost every day.
I do have some favorite cabbage salads that I make over and over, but when I see a new cabbage salad recipe that looks interesting, it always gets my attention. When I spotted a recipe for Crunchy Peanut Slaw on The Kitchn, I knew I'd be making some version of it soon. And of course the generous amount of cilantro and the use of Sriracha in the dressing makes this a double winner for me.
Yesterday I promised one more recipe that would work for Superbowl parties, and this delicious Spicy Cilantro-Peanut Slaw is something I'd happily gobble up, no matter what else was on the table. If you have people who don't like cilantro, I'd just leave it out and use more sliced green onions.
Then add the chopped peanuts, and stir gently to combine them with the other ingredients.
Spicy Cilantro-Peanut Slaw
(Recipe adapted from Crunchy Peanut Slaw found at The Kitchn, makes 4-6 servings.)
1/2 large head green cabbage, very finely chopped
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped (or more)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 bunch cilantro, chopped (use at least 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, or more)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 T sweetener of your choice
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. Sriracha sauce (or less, or this can be left out for a less spicy version)
1/4 cup canola or peanut oil
In large plastic or glass bowl, gently combine chopped cabbage, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Add dressing a little at a time, until salad seems as wet as you'd like it. (You may not need all the dressing.) Add chopped peanuts, and stir a few times until peanuts are mixed in. Taste salad for seasoning, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired. Serve immediately.

Henry Uwadiae Signs to Play College Basketball at Green Bay
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Henry Uwadiae (Benin City, Nigeria) will join the Green Bay men's basketball team beginning with the 2014-15 season, head coach Brian Wardle announced on Monday. Uwadiae, a 6-foot-11, 240-pound transfer from Kirkwood Community College in Iowa, will be eligible immediate as a sophomore next season.
"We are extremely excited to have Henry join our program," said Wardle, the 2014 Horizon League Coach of the Year. "With the departure of Alec Brown, we needed to fill a void inside. Two areas where we pride ourselves in this program are defending and rebounding the ball, and Henry can instantly provide production in these areas and a shot-blocking presence. Offensively, he is a physical player with a high motor who runs the floor well and is a good finisher, and we look forward to watching him develop in our program over the next three years."
Uwadiae played in 2013-14 as a freshman for Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The center with a 7-foot-5 wingspan helped the Eagles to a 21-10 overall record and a 10-4 mark in conference play.
"I'm excited to continue my career with basketball and pursue my degree at Green Bay," Uwadiae said. "The program is a good family with good people, and I spent some time with the guys and they were really sincere and said they really need me and want me there. Coach Wardle seems like a very good person and someone who will have my best interests at heart. I'm so excited about the whole thing and to play as a part of a team that wins.
"The way I play is like a bull. I play mean and aggressive, and I have the mindset to win and that nobody can intimidate me. That is just me."
A native of Nigeria, Uwadiae attended the Evelyn Mack Academy in Charlotte, N.C. as a high school senior. He originally committed to Wichita State before enrolling at Kirkwood for junior college. As a senior in high school, he was given a very high grade of 85 by ESPN Recruiting analysts.
Uwadiae signed with Marshall and was set to join the Thundering Herd in 2014-15, but after a coaching change the program granted him his release.
Uwadiae becomes the member of Green Bay's 2014 recruiting class, joining incoming freshmen guards Daeshon Francis (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Khalil Small (Chicago, Ill.), who signed with the Phoenix in November.

Hey guys and gals...
I decided its time to up and move outta my parents house (Ray, TR, and Bill will be pleased!!!) over in NJ, to the new location of Manayunk/Roxborough which is west of Philly! It will significantly lower my commute by 20 miles and 40 minutes!!!
...about damn time considering I've put 37,000 miles on my STI Limited in under a year and a half
I tried searching briefly for this with no go...but what am I going to have to worry about with inspection and emissions? I am running a catless DP and a Cobb AP protune (no CELs) right now, but don't have NJ inspection due until 2010 since it was bought brand new in 2006. But assuming since I will be moving and gradually changing addresses, registration, and insurance policies...that I will have to get reinspected to PA standards. Can I escape with a catless DP on? Or will I have to go back to the stocker for emissions testing?
Any help is greatly appreciated...so thanks!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey! Do you intentionally overhear great/weird conversations on the bus and at coffee shops?
I have idea for a zine that's in early planning stages and it's tentatively titled "Overheard: Stories from Compulsive Eavesdroppers"
I'm looking for ~50-200 word stories about real conversations that you've overheard. People talk about crazy shit (especially out of context) so don't pretend you don't have anything to write about for this!
Once again, this is in early planning stages. I don't have a distro lined up or anything. I have access to free printing as long as I don't abuse it too much so it should be a cheap zine if it comes together.
Email submissions to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Views: 167
I have a great one so will send you an email soon.
Would a list of pieces of overheard conversations be appropriate?
Absolutely. I'd like to keep this very open. Forget I even said the 50-200 word thing.
Adrian Fynch said:

are you still looking for submissions? i work at a call center, and i transcribe calls for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, so i hear some really weird conversations every day!

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger might prefer Theo Walcott to have a long rest next summer but he would have no problem if the Arsenal winger represented his country at the European Under-21 Championships instead.
Walcott has played a key role in guiding England to the brink of next year's tournament but has since been promoted to the senior team, scoring a stunning hat-trick against Croatia in last month's World Cup qualifier in Zagreb.
The 19-year-old is expected to remain in Fabio Capello's squad for the forseeable future but the Under-21s manager, Stuart Pearce, would like to call on Walcott for this month's play-off against Wales and, if they qualify, next summer's showpiece.
At his pre-match press conference, Wenger pointed out that few players successfully return to Under-21 duty after establishing themselves in their full national sides. However, the Frenchman does not think it would harm Walcott's career.
"I would not be against it," said Wenger. "When they go from a top team to the Under-21s with all the examples I have seen it doesn't really work.
"I have seen it many times with young players and it has never worked very well. But I can understand that England wants to use him. He is 19 years-old and if he can contribute to the Under-21 team, why not?
"I had that in France with Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka when they were already in the top team and then went below. It is never conclusive.
"But Theo would be happy to do it and I would not stand in his way."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

CMV (serum), cytomegalovirus serologic test, cytomegalovirus antibody, IgG, IgM
This test looks for antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a virus in the herpes family, in your blood.
CMV is so widespread that most people in the U.S. have been infected by the time they reach age 40, although many don't realize it. You can pick up the virus by handling or exchanging bodily fluids, such as saliva, blood, urine, breast milk, and semen. The virus usually causes only a mild illness, but it can do serious harm to unborn children, people with HIV/AIDS, or others with a weak immune system.
Antibodies are germ-fighting molecules that your immune system makes in response to infection. If you have CMV-specific antibodies in your blood, you may have a CMV infection.
Like other herpes family viruses, cytomegalovirus hides in the body after the first infection and can flare up again. Later infections tend to be milder. In fact, in adults with a healthy immune system, the first infection may not have any symptoms.
You may have this test if you have unexplained symptoms that resemble the flu. If you've been infected with the virus, you may have these signs and symptoms:
Prolonged high fever
Loss of appetite
Muscle and joint pain or stiffness
Sore throat
Swollen lymph nodes
Swollen liver and spleen
You may also have this test if you are pregnant, have HIV or are a transplant donor or recipient. If you have a current infection, your healthcare provider can give you certain medicines to reduce the danger of congenital CMV in infants or of active illness in people with a weakened immune system.
Only a lab test can confirm that you have CMV.
Your healthcare provider may also order other tests for CMV antibodies. These include tests of your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine. Your healthcare provider may also order tests to look for CMV antigens that CMV antibodies are meant to fight. A CMV antigen test may be called a CMV antigen assay or a CMV Ag test. (Ag stands for antigenemia, meaning antigen-in-blood.)
Your healthcare provider may also order a test called polymerase chain reaction to hunt for the DNA of CMV in your urine, saliva, blood, CSF, or biopsy tissue. He or she may also order a viral culture test from any of these sample types.
Your healthcare provider may also order:
Complete blood count, or CBC
Mononucleosis or Epstein-Barr virus test
He or she may also test for pneumonia, hepatitis, and gastrointestinal problems.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider.
Results are given in amounts of two kinds of antibodies: immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG).
If your IgM and IgG levels are high, it may mean you have CMV. Your healthcare provider will likely give you the test again in two weeks to confirm the infection. If your IgG levels rise between the first and second test, that may mean you have an active infection. The fact that your IgG level increases is more important than the amount of IgG found. The increase shows that your immune system is busy fighting an infection and that the antibodies are not just left over from an earlier fight.
If your results are higher, it may also mean that you have a connective tissue autoimmune disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.
If your immune system is weakened, you may have lower results even with an active infection.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Other factors aren't likely to affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test. But be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Arsenal's trio of England stars were left heartbroken after Germany overpowered the Three Lions in the European Championship Final.
Captain Faye White played the full game in a protective mask after dislocating and fracturing a cheekbone in the Quarter-Finals. Katie Chapman started in midfield before being withdrawn four minutes from time, while Laura Bassett was an unused substitute.
Birgit Prinz fired Germany ahead before Melanie Behringer's spectacular 40-yard effort left England with an uphill task. Former Gunner Karen Carney pulled one back before the interval but Kim Kulig added a third for Germany early in the second half.
Another former Arsenal star, Kelly Smith, gave England renewed hope with a fine strike after 55 minutes but Germany stepped up a gear in the closing stages and ran out comfortable winners thanks to two goals from Inka Grings and a long-range effort from Prinz.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Driver cited in Redmond rollover crash
First of two on NW Helmholtz in less than a day
REDMOND, Ore. - A 27-year-old Redmond man escaped serious injury but was cited for reckless driving Friday evening after his car crashed into a utility pole and overturned, breaking the pole and causing lines to fall onto NW Helmholtz Way, Deschutes County sheriff's deputies said.
The crash at Helmholtz Way and Obsidian Avenue was the first of two rollover crashes on Helmholtz in less than 24 hours.
Around 9:30 on Saturday morning, a small SUV left the road, went down a ditch and flipped onto its side, striking a barbed-wire fence near Helmholtz and Wickiup Avenue, about a mile south of the Friday evening crash. Sheriff's Sgt. Don Manning said the female driver had to be cut out of the wreckage and was taken to the hospital but had only minor injuries.
Around 5:50 p.m. Friday, deputies responded to the rollover crash in the area of Helmholtz and Obsidian, said sheriff's Lt. Bryan Husband. Redmond fire-medics also responded to help the driver, Colby Gilleland, who was alone in the gray 1989 Nissan 300 two-door sedan.
Husband said an investigation found that Gilleland was heading north on Helmholtz, approaching a right-hand curve near Obsidian Avenue.
Gilleland was going too fast to negotiate the curve, which caused his car to slide sideways across the road, off the southbound shoulder and into a nearby Century Link telephone pole, Husband said, adding that the car came to a rest on its top.
The broken pole caused phone lines to fall on the road, which was closed for about an hour for removal of the car and wires, the lieutenant said.
Gilleland, who was wearing his seat belt, was treated by medics at the scene and released, Husband said. The Nissan had extensive damage and was towed from the scene.
Alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash, Husband said, adding that it's not known if the crash caused any area residents to lose phone service.

The garden top is just a fancy telescoping top, they are a lot heavier tho.You could build your own sometime.
I feel totally overwhelmed and even more confused then ever.
Some seem to go overboard with the equipment requirements (full suite, gloves, veil, etc.) and a host of medicines and chemicals (my gardens and trees are all chemical free), and others not so much. But while I don't want to use anything that is not necessary or make things any harder than it needs to be,
It can easily be overwhelming, but don't let that scare you away.
Lots of newbies fret about what kind of bees. Again, it doesn't make that much difference. I always recommend LOCAL bees. Find a beekeeper near you who will sell you a nuc. I believe it's better to get bees which are acclimated to your particular climate.
