Ju, how do you feel after scoring your first goal for the Club last week?
First of all I was very happy, especially as it was only the second game since I arrived. I was very happy. I think the older players helped me a lot and that's why I could score.
What do you remember about the goal?
The first thing is that when I scored, all the players came to me and congratulated me. The fans cheered for me as well and that made me so happy. At first I thought I had missed the net! But the ball went in and for that I was very happy. It was a great feeling to score.
How important was it for you to impress the Arsenal fans?
As a striker the best way to impress fans is to score goals. So I will do my best all the time in every game to do that. I try to move around and make runs and score goals. I think that's the most important thing.
Arsène Wenger has said the Arsenal fans would grow to love you – what did he say to you after the game?
He didn't say much, he just said I did a good job and that it was a very good game.
How confident are you that Arsenal can win the Carling Cup?
I heard that Arsenal could not win the trophy when they reached the final the last two times but we will have to do our best to win it this year. I think we can do it, it is possible.
Manchester City are your next opponents - how tough will that be?
Of course their team is very strong, it's a very good team. But the game will be at our home ground so many fans will cheer for us. We have to do our best to win the game.
Do you feel ready to play in the Premier League now?
I will try my best to show that I am in the best condition and show that I am good enough to play there. My training and my lifestyle is helping me adjust to the English game. At the moment I don't have any problems at all - I am in good condition. The final decision is of course made by the manager so I will do my best to prepare myself in case I get a chance.
How much of a step up is it to play at that level?
This is all I have dreamed of and now I have a chance to play in this team. So for me it is unbelievable. Personally I see this as my best chance to improve my skills and to play with these world-class players.
The main striker at Arsenal at the moment is Robin van Persie - how impressed have you been by him?
He is doing a great job in every game and all the players and the fans are impressed by him. When I watch him in matches and training, I think he's a very good player.
Arsène Wenger says he will have to rest Robin at some point. Do you expect to get your chance then?
I am not the only striker in the squad apart from Robin so I will just do my best to prepare myself physically. Then the decision is made by the manager.
The team has won eight of its last nine games. Why do you think Arsenal's results have improved?
I think there are many good players in a team but that does not mean they will win every game. The most important thing I think is working well together as a team. Arsenal's players are all together and that is why we have good results.
You watched the Chelsea game from the bench. What did you think?
It was a very interesting experience! In the first half there were lots of good chances at both ends and the game was played at a high tempo. The speed of the game was very high and the quality too. If we play like that more and more than we will make people happy.
What was the atmosphere like in the dressing room?
All the players were happy, we were very pleased. All the staff were happy too. Everyone was in a good mood, some of the players sang and there was a very good atmosphere.
How much can Arsenal achieve this season?
Personally I think Arsenal can win at any time; we always had that possibility. If we continue doing what we are doing then we will be happy at the end of the season.

The people of Australia are celebrating Australia Day this week, but to the indigenous people of the continent the day will always linger in their minds as the one on which some strangers from faraway reached their land and made it their own. National Day Chairman, Adam Gilchrist, noted the government last February had apologized for past horrors committed on the people who originally inhabited the land as a first step in moving toward an Australia which encompasses humans of every background and color of skin. Shelly Reys, deputy chairperson for the celebration, said: "I fully expect a range f indigenous people and their supporters to celebrate Australia Day as they wish, whether it's celebrating or focusing on invasion day."
There is no way to undo the past because the past lives on in our daily lives and ways of thinking. In the absence of time machines, all we can do is work for a future in which vestiges of past wrongs no longer occur. That requires both an individual and a national commitment to change.

Fox's Starnes Misinforms About Kansas Non-Discrimination Ordinance
On Monday, Fox News' resident anti-gay mouthpiece [1] Todd Starnes posted an article about a proposed city ordinance [2] in Hutchinson, Kansas which would prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, employment, and public accommodations.
Rather than focus on the specifics of the ordinance, or Kansas' history of supporting [3] anti-LGBT discrimination, Starnes chose to depict the measure as an assault on churches:
In typical Starnes fashion [4], the article was little more than an excuse to promote the talking points of anti-gay activists – including Liberty Counsel's Matthew Staver [5] – who warned that churches would be forced to host gay weddings and "drag parties":
"It is a collision course between religious freedom and the LGBT agenda," Staver said. "This proposed legislation will ultimately override the religious freedom that is protected under the First Amendment."
He argued that churches cannot be forced by the government to set aside their religious convictions and their mission. And, he warned, some churches could even be forced to rent their buildings for drag parties. [emphasis added]
In reality, the ordinance includes specific exemptions for religious organizations that don't offer their services to the general public. According to an official Hutchinson Human Relations Commission (HRC) FAQ Sheet [6] (which Starnes even links to in his article):
Religious based groups, non-profit institutions controlled by religious associations or societies and non-profit private clubs that are not open to the public are exempt from the requirements of Chapter 3 now and would continue to be exempt should the proposed amendment become law. There is an exception to this exemption, if any of these groups open their services to the general public.
For example, if a church has a parish hall that they rent out to the general public, they could not discriminate against a gay couple who want to rent the building for a party. If the church only rents the building to their parishioners, they can continue to do so. [emphasis added]
Starnes also falsely claimed that the ordinance would "have a major impact" on business owners who would be "required to provide special bathrooms" for transgender people – an assertion that's also debunked [6] in the HRC FAQ Sheet.
Despite being riddled with inaccuracies, Starnes' article has been picked up and touted by organizations like the Family Research Council (FRC [7]), National Organization for Marriage (NOM [8]), and Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH [9]).

Green Bay Wins in Comeback Thriller
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
CLEVELAND, Ohio. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Ten lead changes. Four ties. A deficit of as many as 12 points. But one final outcome-a 52-49 thrilling comeback win for the Green Bay women's basketball team (13-2, 3-0 HL) over Cleveland State (10-6, 2-1 HL). The win is the eighth straight for the Horizon League-leading Phoenix, which plays its next three games on the road.
"This game was a tough, physical battle and I think Cleveland State played a lot tougher than we did tonight," head coach Kevin Borseth said. "They really came ready to play, and we really need to focus on showing more toughness in physical games like these."
Green Bay opened the game on a transition layup from senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.), followed by another layup by redshirt senior Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.). Cleveland State wasted no time answering the early Phoenix lead, grabbing a 6-4 advantage off a Shalonda Winton triple. The basket sparked a 9-2 run for the Vikings, who extended their lead to 15-6 with 10:20 remaining in the first half.
Eichler cut the deficit to 18-11 on a free throw with 4:03 remaining in the half, but Cleveland State responded with four unanswered points to push the lead to 22-11. Again, Eichler was there with a turnaround lay-in down low to end a scoring drought of more than three minutes for the Phoenix, putting Green Bay within nine at 22-13.
Cleveland State took a 24-14 lead into the half after grabbing 23 rebounds to Green Bay's nine. The Vikings also held the Phoenix to just 26.1 percent from the field in the half, including an 0-for-6 effort from behind the arc.
The Vikings opened the second half with a pair of free throws to push the lead to 26-14, but the Phoenix began to slowly chip away at the lead. For the first part of the half, however, Cleveland State answered every time Green Bay scored.
A three from senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) with 12:47 remaining cut the Vikings' lead to 35-27 and sparked a streak where she would score seven of Green Bay's next nine points. With 9:25 remaining, she used a fastbreak layup to cut the lead to 39-35. After a tough half from the field in the first half, Ritchie rebounded in the second to score 13 points in the game and grab five steals.
An Eichler layup cut the lead to 39-37 with 8:32 to play and she followed it up by drilling a three to take a 40-39 advantage, the first lead for Green Bay since the 14:30 mark of the first half. Cleveland State would respond, however, in the second half's first of nine lead changes.
Sension scored four consecutive to give Green Bay a 44-42 lead with less than six minutes to play, but again the Vikings would retake the advantage just seconds later. Sension finished with 16 points and six rebounds on 8-14 shooting.
Trailing 47-46 with 3:50 remaining, redshirt sophomore Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) hit two free throws to put Green Bay up by one. Cleveland State's Imani Gordon laid it in on the other end seconds later to retake the lead at 49-48, but an Eichler free throw a minute later tied things up at 49-49.
With 1:35 remaining, Eichler banked in possibly the most important shot of the night, giving the Phoenix a 52-49 lead-one it would hold for the remainder of the game. Eichler finished with a game-high 17 points.
"It was really back-and-forth in the second half, but we scored when we needed to. We needed to score late in that game, and then hold on to that lead," Borseth said.
Cleveland State had opportunities to tie the game twice with just seconds left, but missed both attempts from behind the arc. Green Bay's smothering zone defense was able to seal the win, the eighth straight win for the top team in the Horizon League.
Green Bay shot 50 percent from the field in the second half for a 39.6 mark for the game, and forced a tied season-high 26 Cleveland State turnovers. After turning the ball over 11 times in the first half, the Phoenix had just two turnovers in the final 20 minutes. The win also marks the 11th time in 15 games this season that Green Bay's nationally second-best scoring defense has held an opponent under 50 points.
The Phoenix
will remain in Ohio for the rest of the weekend as it travels to Youngstown to
take on Youngstown State in a Saturday night matchup. Tipoff will be at 6 p.m.
Central Time.

Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on Poland
Strasbourg, 15.06.2010 - The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published its fourth report on Poland. ECRI's Chair, Nils Muiznieks, said that whereas there has been progress in certain areas, the persistence of racist and antisemitic discourse, the lack of comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation and the vulnerable situation of the Roma remain sources of concern.
As regards positive developments, the Government's Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment has taken interesting initiatives to combat racism and related forms of discrimination. Specially tasked prosecutors have been appointed to deal with racist offences. Judges and the police receive appropriate training in this connection and victim support-centres have been set up in the voivodeships.
The Programme for the Benefit of the Roma Community in Poland is an important development to address its housing, health care and employment needs. Roma associations are involved in its development and implementation. Important measures have been taken to counter discrimination on ethnic and nationality grounds in the field of education; these include the recruitment of teaching assistants for certain vulnerable groups and the phasing out of separate classes for the Roma.
However, it is disturbing that discriminatory attitudes persist in Poland. Antisemitism is tolerated in part of the political world and influential media. Racism among football fans, involving serious insults to Black players and crude references to the Holocaust, is a major problem which must be tackled by the authorities as well as by the Polish Football Association and football clubs. Some extreme right-wing organisations continue their activities unchallenged. There is an obvious need to curtail hate speech in publications and on the Internet. The courts have an important contribution to make in this respect and confidence should be built in the National Broadcasting Council's ability to deal with complaints about ethical standards.
There is no comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation, no independent specialised body to combat racism and discrimination on grounds of "race", colour, language, religion, nationality or national or ethnic origin and no independent police complaints mechanism.
Educational attainment among Roma children remains low and they are more likely than others to drop out of school. The living conditions in many Roma communities are still inadequate, as the implementation of the Programme for the Benefit of the Roma Community is hampered by a number of mayors.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations, three of which require priority implementation and will be revisited by ECRI in two years' time:
The report, including Government observations, is available at: www.coe.int/ecri
ECRI is an independent human rights body of the Council of Europe, which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states.

For those who have attempted to replace the license plate globes with LED's, you'll know that majority of "non-CANBUS" ones do not work, and even those marked as error-free do not necessarily work all the time. The reason for this is that the car's computer checks the current/power flowing through the license lights, if it is below a certain threshold then you'll see a warning on your MFD which can get quite annoying.
My solution is to permanently solder a resistor onto the casing. It is essentially the same thing as buying load resistor kits but at a much cheaper price. I bought each resistor for $0.40 each. This entire solution cost me less than $1!
First things first, before I tell you what resistor to buy it is important to understand the basic physics of what you're about to do.
The stock T10 globe is 5W.
Each 5050 LED consume about 0.2W (assuming 12V power source), so the 9 SMD 5050 LED globe like the one I used above may draw up to 1.8W (9 x 0.2).
5W - 1.8W = 3.2W difference from the stock globe! Now we would like to look for a resistor to fill that 3.2W void. We know pretty damn sure that the computer isn't checking for exactly 5W as bulbs will not always draw the exact advertised watts. I made a wild guess that maybe it is checking 50%, or 2.5W.
I selected a 56 ohm resistor (5W capacity) which would draw about 2.57W. If you must know the calculations...
12V / 56 ohms = 0.21429A
12V x 0.21429A = 2.57148W
Ok, so 2.57W resistor + 1.8W LED globe = 4.37W total power!
I tried the resistors without any globes and saw no MFD error, which means the threshold is below 2.57W. That's good. This means I can put in anywhere from 1 to 12 5050 SMD comfortably, but it is normally safe to exceed the 5W. I'd say maybe up to 6W or so is safe? That gives us up to 18 SMD's. Not sure if you'd want them that bright anyway.... if so, just pick a resistor with a higher resistance and you'll be able to put higher capacity LED's.
Resistors do not have polarities so it does not matter which end gets solded where. Make sure there is enough clearance from the resistor to any other part to avoid it melting any of the interior components.
The resistor draws about 2.57W and I chose a resistor with a 5W capacity to make sure I have accounted for fluctuations in the power source. Car batteries are not precisely 12V. Some sources claim an average of 12.6V or even as high as 14V!!! It is wise to pick 5W capacity versus 3W for this reason. Plus your resistors will last longer if you keep the running power at around 50% of the rated maximum capacity.
Also remember that by soldering the resistor, you're restricting yourself to using LED's. DO NOT put regular 5W globes on them as it the computer might shut down that entire circuit thinking it is defective for drawing too much power. It is also a good idea to remove the resistors should you decide to sell the car as it is easy for future owners or non-electronics savvy mechanics to just replace them with regular globes!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage this may cause your car. Do this at your own risk. I have done electronics at university over a decade ago so I'm not exactly an expert on this, but after some brushing up, I am confident my calculations are correct!
Hope this helps anyone. Each resistor cost me $0.40!

Federal Direct Loans
Direct Loans are low-interest loans for students and parents to help pay for the cost of a student's education after high school. The lender is the U.S Department of Education (the Department) rather than a bank or other financial institution. With Direct Loans, you
- Borrow directly from the federal government and have a single contact - the Direct Loan Servicing Center - for everything related to the repayment of your loans, even if you receive Direct Loans at different schools.
- Have online access to your Direct Loan account information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at Direct Loans on the Web at www.dl.ed.gov
- Can choose from several repayment plans that are designed to meet the needs of almost any borrower, and you can switch repayment plans if your needs change.
Federal Subsidized Direct Loans
You may borrow these funds if you demonstrate financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid in accordance with federal regulations. In general, this means your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) must be less than the Cost of Attendance at Cal State East Bay. The amount you may borrow depends on your need and your grade level. While you are in school at least half-time (6 units or more), no repayment is required during school or the six-month grace period.
Repayment of loan principal and interest begins six months after enrollment falls below half-time, and is usually calculated over a maximum 10-year period.
If unpaid, the interest will be added (capitalized) to the principal amount of the loan when the grace period ends. The current in-school interest rate paid by the government is fixed at 3.76%.
Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loans
You may borrow this variable interest loan without demonstrating financial need. This loan is similar to the Federal Subsidized loan except borrowers are responsible for interest, which begins to accrue at disbursement. The interest rate for undergraduates it is 3.76%i and for graduate students it is 5.31%
Limits and Repayment of Direct Stafford Loans
While this loan may cover the entire Cost of Attendance, including your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the amount you may borrow depends on your grade level. Borrowers are required to begin repayment of loan principal six months after enrollment falls below halftime, and repayment is calculated over a maximum 10-year period.
Direct Loan Counseling Sessions
Before your Direct Loan application is certified by the Financial Aid Office you must successfully complete an Online Direct Loan Counseling session. Federal regulations require we inform student loan borrowers of their rights and responsibilities regarding their loan and explain the terms and conditions of the Direct Stafford Loan program. Contact us at (510) 885-2784 M-Th 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., or email: email@example.com if you have questions about loans.
Loan limits for undergraduate and graduate students are detailed respectively in the following two tables.
|Dependent 1
|Independent 2
|First Year - Freshman
|$5,500 ($3,500)3

Obama's vision for America: double-counting our way to a better future
posted at 11:30 am on September 7, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Last night, Barack Obama took his last best shot at persuading the people of America that he deserves another four years to get it right. A number of those people probably tuned the speech out after this callout 54 words in: "Joe Biden, thank you for being the best vice president I could ever hope for." And he wasn't joking.
Then again, there is much to be read into that statement. Picking the loose-tongued, gaffe-a-minute Biden as his running mate was one of Obama's earliest official acts, predating his election. It should have provided fair warning about the choices he would make.
And yet in spite of the choices he did make—choices that have saddled our children and their children with imponderable debt, choices that have driven the nation closer to, not further from, the brink of ruin—he thinks he's the better bet come Nov. 6.
To make that case, last night he offered "specifics." These were presented, mind you, as goals, not promises. For a man who has taken an "incomplete" for his first term in office, he's setting his sights awfully low in preparation for his makeup exam.
So what are some of his goals? They include putting 100,000 new math and science teachers to work. Another 600,000 workers in the natural gas industry will find themselves drawing a paycheck under an Obama second term. How he intends to do this is anybody's guess. Suffice it to say that the vagueness of the boast is ironic coming from a man who scoffed at his opponent's plan to add 12 million jobs on the basis that it was short on specifics.
One goal that Obama did flesh out was his plan to cut our deficit by $4 trillion. If it sounds familiar, it's because he said it before. In 2008, he promised that if elected he'd halve the deficit. We all know how that turned out.
But it was the devil in the details of this rehashed pledge that merits a closer look. Here is what he said:
I'll use the money we're no longer spending on war to pay down our debt and put more people back to work—rebuilding roads and bridges, schools, and runways. After two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it's time to do some nation-building right here at home. [Emphasis added]
This, too, is old hat and not just the promise but the methodology. Notice the highlighted words in the quote. Now read what the Associated Press wrote in its "fact check" of the speech:
The idea of taking war savings to pay for other programs is budgetary sleight of hand, given that the wars were paid for with increased debt. Obama can essentially 'pay down our debt,' as he said, by borrowing less now that war is ending. But he still must borrow to do the 'extra nation-building' he envisions.
It is the same accounting trick that he used to try to justify looting Medicare to pay for Obamacare, then claim that the same $716 was being spent to shore up the Medicare trust fund. It's double-counting.
He even had the temerity to refer to his chicanery in his speech, if indirectly and as if it was a good thing: "We will reform and strengthen Medicare for the long haul, but we'll do it by reducing the cost of health care, not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more." Technically, the claim is partly true. Seniors won't pay more over the long haul. They will, however, see the range of services available to them shrink dramatically, and so will the number of physicians who continue to see Medicare patients in the face of declining reimbursements.
His speech ended with some of his patented high-blown oratory:
America, I never said this journey would be easy, and I won't promise that now. Yes, our path is harder—but it leads to a better place. Yes our road is longer—but we travel it together. We don't turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up. We draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, knowing that providence is with us, and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on earth.
Words like these may have dazzled those willing to be duped by them four years ago. But at least some of those people have awakened and seen the light. They now see this kind of stale, empty rhetoric for what it is.
The horizon is distant. But under Obama it has dimmed into a flat line that barely distinguishes the earth from the sky. That long journey is best taken with Obama as one of us lowly pilgrims, not as our leader.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'm probably going to sound like a Grandpa here, but why waste your time on a Ratrod when you have the makings of a super cool rod in your driveway! That 2dr would be cool anyway you build it, custom, rat, hot, you name it, it will be cool. I would use the Cougar rear if it measures up all right, maybe all the running gear from the Cougar, just to be different and keep the costs down. IMO, the Chevy frames from those years are best suited to those years and would make a poor donor frame. Be rid of the enclosed driveline and start up fresh with rebuilding what you have on the chassis. There's got to be some good info on making that frame usable for a street rod. Good luck, I would love to have that 2dr. but I can't seem to get done my own project!
|low budget rodder
I guess it depends on the look you want...
May I recommend a dvd from the $5 rack at walmart...."Hot Rods, Rat Rods & Kustom Kulture - Back from the Dead The Complete Build" (Circle King Networks, Inc.) Although it doesn't show every second of the three month build, it shows enough to be excited about building and it gives people an idea on how to look at junk as treasure when it comes to a car build.
I wish you all the luck
First Rat
So this is my first post, and my first rat rod project. I have 3 1951 Chevy Stylelines sitting in my driveway. 2 four doors and a 2 door. One 4 door is gonna be a factory resto, I haven't determined the fate of the 2 door yet, and I want to use the frame of the second 4 door to build a rat rod.
The main thing I want to know is if this is a good choice. I know that many people will tell you that you can do whatever you want when building a rat, since it's somewhat of a compilation of parts, but I'm looking for any advice as to whether or not I should find a "better" frame or if the 51 would be a good option.
A friend of mine has a mid 80s cougar he is giving me. It has an 8.8 rearend. Everyone says I should go with a 9", but I'm not really planning on building this for racing. Ive got a 350 I'm gonna put in it, it will be slightly modified, but I don't expect anything more than 400 horses from it. I'm looking more at the lower 300 range. Would this be a good rearend to use? Should I just use the entire running gear from the cougar? I'm open to any advice/opinions you have. This is my first rod. Any info helps. Thanks!

A. E. Housman
Poet Details
At first glance nothing seems more unlikely than that the poet of the enormously popular A Shropshire Lad should be the classical scholar A. E. Housman. This Cambridge University professor of Latin left no doubt as to his priorities: the emendation of classical texts was both an intellectual search for the truth and his life's work; poetry was an emotional and physiological experience that began with a sensation in the pit of the stomach. The apparent discrepancies in this man who became both a first-rate scholar and a celebrated poet should be a reminder that, whatever else poetry does, it also records the interior life, a life that has its roots well beneath the academic gown or the business suit. Furthermore, in Housman's case, though he did aspire to be a great scholar first, scrutiny of his life and work reveals that he valued poetry more highly than he often admitted and that many of the presumed conflicts between the classical scholar and the romantic poet dissolve in the personality of the man.
Though the modern student is usually more interested in Housman's poetry than his textual criticism, some survey of his scholarship is important for an appreciation of his overall contribution and of the cast of mind that could be so devoted—and so imperious—in the search for truth. From his early work on Propertius at Oxford University through his professorship at University College, London, and culminating in his office as Kennedy Professor of Latin at Cambridge University, Housman was not interested in the interpretation of the works of the classical writers he treated. Instead, he was solely involved in the establishment of reliable texts of their works. This process usually required the peeling away of centuries of error made by previous editors, whom Housman frequently treated with unmitigated scorn. In "The Application of Thought to Textual Criticism," a paper presented to the Classical Association at Cambridge in 1921 and collected in John Carter's 1961 edition of the writer's prose, Housman described textual criticism as both a science and an art, requiring reason and common sense. As a science, however, it was not exact, he declared: "A textual critic engaged upon his business is not at all like Newton investigating the motion of the planets: he is much more like a dog hunting for fleas." Housman railed against the prevailing practice of accepting earlier manuscripts as better manuscripts or of accepting all readings—however inane—within a manuscript simply because of the authority of the whole. In this regard he criticized scholars for being lazy, and this tone of moral rectitude permeated the entire paper. Many scholars, he said, are stupid, lazy, vain—or all three. His last sentence put a cap on it: "Knowledge is good, method is good, but one thing beyond all others is necessary; and that is to have a head, not a pumpkin, on your shoulders, and brains, not pudding, in your head."
Concerning Housman's own reputation as a classical scholar, D. R. Shackleton Bailey in a 1959 Listener article said that he was "beyond serious dispute, among the greatest of all time." Bailey spoke of the scholar's "passionate zeal to see each one of the innumerable problems in his text not as others had presented it or as he might have preferred it to appear but exactly as it was." Housman's greatest single textual work was his five-volume edition of the Astronomica of Manilius, a first century A.D. Latin poet. The first volume of this work was published in 1903 and the last in 1930. That Housman chose Manilius, a second-rate poet, over Propertius or any of the other better writers with whom he was familiar reveals his desire to establish for himself an unassailable reputation, for as Andrew S. F. Gow declared in A. E. Housman, the scholar realized that the Astronomica of Manilius provided him the greatest opportunity "of approaching finality in the solution of the problems presented." In a letter to Housman's biographer Graves, G. P. Goold, a later holder of the Latin chair at University College, summed up the scholar's accomplishments: "The legacy of Housman's scholarship is a thing of permanent value; and that value consists less in obvious results, the establishment of general propositions about Latin and the removal of scribal mistakes, than in the shining example he provides of a wonderful mind at work.... He was and may remain the last great textual critic.... And if we accord [Richard] Bentley the honour of being England's greatest Latinist, it will be largely because Housman declined to claim the title for himself."
It was at University College that Housman experienced his most sustained period of poetry composition, and the main fruit of this period was the publication of A Shropshire Lad in 1896. First offered to Macmillan Company in 1896 under the title "Poems by Terence Hearsay," A Shropshire Lad was rejected by that publisher: it was subsequently brought out in the same year by Kegan Paul, with the change in the title suggested by Housman's friend Pollard. The book was published at the author's own expense, and he insisted that he receive no royalties. There wouldn't have been many anyway, since Kegan Paul printed only five hundred copies, and, as Maude M. Hawkins noted in A. E. Housman: Man Behind a Mask, the book "sold so slowly that Laurence Housman at the end of two years bought up the last few copies." Though the volume was better appreciated in the United States than in England—Hawkins called most of the critical reviews "lukewarm or adverse." A Shropshire Lad did not sell well until it was published by Grant Richards, a man with whom Housman became lifelong friends. Richards's first edition was five hundred copies in 1897, which sold out; he then printed one thousand copies in 1900 followed by two thousand in 1902. Hawkins summed up the volume's early public reception: "After the slow stream of Housman readers from 1896 to 1903, the momentum of popularity increased rapidly. During this period A Shropshire Lad had been reviewed in thirty-three periodicals with both praise and condemnation."
During the twentieth century A Shropshire Lad has been more of a popular than a critical success. Looking back to the heyday of the book's success, George Orwell remarked in Inside the Whale and Other Essays: "Among people who were adolescent in the years 1910-25, Housman had an influence which was enormous and is now [1957] not at all easy to understand. In 1920, when I was about seventeen, I probably knew the whole of A Shropshire Lad by heart." In accounting for this popularity, Orwell spoke of certain elements in the poetry: a snobbism about belonging to the country; the adolescent themes of murder, suicide, unhappy love, and early death; and a "bitter, defiant paganism, a conviction that life is short and the gods are against you, which exactly fitted the prevailing mood of the young."
In all of his poetry, Housman continually returns to certain favorite themes. The predominant theme, discussed by Cleanth Brooks in the Ricks collection of essays, is that of time and the inevitability of death. As Brooks said, "Time is, with Housman, always the enemy." In the first poem of A Shropshire Lad, "1887," one of the few to be titled, the conventional patriotism of the Queen's jubilee is shot through with the irony that God can only save the Queen with the help of those who have died for her sake: "The saviours come not home tonight: / Themselves they could not save." Housman frequently deals with the plight of the young soldier, and he is usually able to maintain sympathy both for the youth who is the victim of war and for the patriotic cause of the nation. Robert B. Pearsall suggested in a 1967 PMLA essay that Housman dealt frequently with soldiers because "the uniform tended to cure isolation and unpopularity, and soldiers characteristically bask in mutual affection."
It is not only war but nature, too, that brings on thoughts of death in Housman's poetry. In the famous Shropshire Lad lyric beginning "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now," the speaker says that since life is all too short, he will go out "To see the cherry hung with snow," an obvious suggestion of death. In a well-known verse from Last Poems, a particularly wet and old spring causes the speaker to move from a description of nature—"The chestnut casts his flambeaux, and the flowers stream from the hawthorn on the wind away"—to a sense that his lost spring brings one closer to the grave, which, in turn, occasions a splenetic remark about the deity: "Whatever brute and blackguard made the world." To his credit, Housman often does not merely wallow in such pessimistic feelings but counsels a kind of stoical endurance as the proper response: "Shoulder the sky, my lad, and drink your ale." When the sky cannot be shouldered, a type of Roman suicide may be appropriate, as in "Shot? so quick, so clean an ending?" or in another Shropshire Lad poem, which ends with the lines: "But play the man, stand up and end you, / When your sickness is your soul."
Another frequent theme in Housman's poetry, one that is related to the death motif, is the attitude that the universe is cruel and hostile, created by a God who has abandoned it. In the poem "Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries" in Last Poems, mercenaries must take up the slack for an uncaring deity: "What God abandoned, these defended, / And saved the sum of things for pay." In such a world where "malt does more than Milton can / To justify God's ways to man," as the lyricist wrote in A Shropshire Lad, poetry can serve the purpose of inuring one to the harshness of reality. R. Kowalczyk, in a 1967 Cithara essay, summed up this prevalent theme: "Housman's poetic characters fail to find divine love in the universe. They confront the enormity of space and realize that they are victims of Nature's blind forces. A number of Housman's lyrics scrutinize with cool, detached irony the impersonal universe, the vicious world in which man was placed to endure his fated existence."
Within such a universe, the pastoral theme of the preciousness of youth and youthful beauty is everywhere to be found. In "To an Athlete Dying Young," the youth is praised for leaving a world with his accomplishments intact. Like the young girl Lucy in romantic poet William Wordsworth's lyrics, Housman's youths sometimes die into nature and become part of the natural surroundings: "By brooks too broad for leaping / The lightfoot boys are laid; / The rose-lipt girls are sleeping / In fields where roses fade." But as Brooks declared, as recorded in Ricks's collection of essays, Housman's nature cannot be the same as Wordsworth's after the century's achievement in science: "Housman's view of nature looks forward to our time rather than back to that of Wordsworth. If nature is lovely and offers man delight, she does not offer him solace or sustain him as Wordsworth was solaced and sustained. For between Wordsworth and Housman there interpose themselves Darwin and Huxley and Tindall—the whole achievement of Victorian science."
Furthermore, society sometimes intrudes into Housman's world of nature, and when it does, the rustic youth frequently comes in conflict with it. As Oliver Robinson noted in Angry Dust: The Poetry of A. E. Housman, "Housman is especially sympathetic with the man who is at odds with society, the man who cannot keep 'these foreign laws of God and man.'" In one poem from A Shropshire Lad, the speaker pities the condemned man in Shrewsbury jail whom he calls "a better lad, if things went right, / Than most that sleep outside."
The themes of his poetry and his emotional handling of them mark Housman as an extension of the romantic movement that flourished in England in the early part of the nineteenth century and had a resurgence in the aesthetic movement of the 1890s. The critical evaluation of Housman's work in the two decades after his death in 1936 is tinged with the anti-romanticism of the period. The directness and simplicity of much of Housman's poetry were viewed as faults. In A. E. Housman and W. B. Yeats Richard Aldington reported a rumor that circulated about Cambridge University to the effect that when influential critic I. A. Richards left Housman's Cambridge inaugural lecture he was heard to say: "This had put us back ten years." And Cyril Connolly, in a 1936 New Statesman article reprinted in Ricks's essay collection, said that Housman's poems "are of a triteness of technique equalled only by the banality of thought." He also talked about the limitations of the poet's themes of man's mortality and rebellion against his lot.
To see irony in Housman's poetic technique, however, is to mitigate some of what would otherwise be considered faults: the adolescent nature of some of the thought and the sentimental handling of it. Christopher Ricks, in the essay in his collection on Housman, noted that "everyone seems to take it for granted that Housman's poems unwaveringly endorse the pessimistic beliefs which they assert. To me his poems are remarkable for the ways in which rhythm and style temper or mitigate or criticize what in bald paraphrase the poem would be saying."
Regardless of whether one finds irony in the author's poetic technique, it is true that Housman tried to place some distance between himself and his work. Referring to A Shropshire Lad in a letter written in 1933, Housman stated that "very little in the book is biographical" and said that his view of the world was "owing to my observation of the world, not to personal circumstances." As to the county of Shropshire itself, Housman admitted in a letter to Maurice Pollet: "I was born in Worcestershire, not Shropshire, where I have never spent much time."
In his roles as classical scholar and as poet, Housman exhibited an unswerving integrity. While this integrity served him well in his classical endeavors, in his poetry it may have relegated him to a rank below that of the major poets of his age. His poetry, based as it is on emotion, never went beyond what he could verify with his own feelings. As Edmund Wilson said in an essay appearing in the Ricks collection, "His world has no opening horizons; it is a prison that one can only endure. One can only come the same painful cropper over and over again and draw from it the same bitter moral." But few writers have expressed this dark if limited vision with more poignancy and clarity than Housman.
According to John Bayley in the London Review of Books, Housman was "a scholar worshipped and hated for his meticulous standards and his appalling sarcasms on the unscholarly." "He was certainly pugnacious and opinionated, as well as elegant and intellectually fastidious," concurred Peter Levi in The Spectator. These attributes emerge in A. E. Housman: Collected Poems and Selected Prose. The collection includes textual criticism, comic verses and poetry, and letters. "Although Housman's distinctive blend of sadness and savagery seems dated and unappealing, his writings embody certain patriotic and critical attitudes which no student of English culture can fail to ignore," declared Tom Paulin in The Observer.

As more and more cities incorporate concepts like "complete streets" into their long-term plans, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is urging Congress to do the same when developing the next surface transportation program.
The organization wants federally funded projects to make the right of way accessible for all users -- drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and the handicapped - a goal supported by groups ranging from the powerful Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons (AARP) to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "The next authorization bill must take into account the important role played by road-related investments in enhancing communities," says AASHTO Executive Director John Horsley.
Bill Lewis, the chief mobility engineer in the Columbus, Ohio, Division of Mobility Options, agrees.
"All roads, whether it's a new street or a retrofit for a bike path, should be candidates," he says. In 2008 the city adopted a Bicentennial Bikeways Plan that quadruples the number of shared-use paths over the next decade. But implementation isn't cheap; the estimated cost for 200 miles of pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly paths is $118 million.
Since 2000, state DOTs have used $5.2 billion to fund bicycle and pedestrian programs. In 2007, states spent $13.3 billion on transit, compared to federal funding of $10.7 billion. "But what's been missing from the national dialogue on livability is what can be accomplished through road-related improvements," Horsley says.
One such improvement highlighted in AASHTO's recent Road to Livability report
AARP has issued a report titled "Planning Complete Streets for an Aging America," and the CDC promotes the concept in its battle against obesity.
If livability concepts don't make it into the reauthorized highway bill, the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Highways and Transit is ready to take up the charge. "Complete Streets Act of 2009" directs state DOTs and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to adopt similar policies on federally funded transportation projects.

I need help guys, jehler jr. is dying to shoot a turkey and i am a novice turkey hunter at best. we have 4 more days left of his season and we have property to hunt that has birds. Let me give you the lowdown on what's been happening. first day we get set up under a big white pine with low branches, cut a bunch of branches to make a blind, our concealment is great. using a box call I make some calls every 15 minutes or so. we hear and see nothing until about 2:30 and then a gobble about 50 yards away just about makes us poop our selves. the tom walks out from behind the brush into the corner of the cherry orchard we are hunting next to, he is freekin huge, the biggest bird I have ever seen. he walks out just out of range (about 50 yards) and starts to strut. then just stands there 50 yards out looking. I give a light call and he gobbles. this goes on for about 20 minutes and then he just walks away.
Day two, hunt the same area but I set up a hen decoy with a jake mounting her just past our blind. same thing happens except he doesn't gobble but once then just stands there 50 yards out staring at the decoys for 10 minutes then walks away.
this bird is huge, I think it would be awsome for jr. to get a bird this big as his first but the old man is having a hard time gettin him to commit, any ideas? I don't know wether to quit calling after the first gobble, call more, differnt decoys? should i build a differnt blind and call 40 yards behind my son? He's only ten so I don't like the idea of not sitting with him but i think he can make the call, he has made the call not to shoot at 50 so I think he can handle it. any help would be greatly appreciated, we only have till saturday

Make bath time a breeze with baby bath products
Bath time with your little guys and gals can be a lot of fun. When they splash around and play with toys, they can have fun while getting clean. Baths with beloved characters will make bath time even more entertaining, and with fun hooded towels, your kids will be able to pretend they're a princess, lion or a dinosaur while they dry off.
Keeping your little ones entertained while you're washing them can be difficult. With a stash of fun bath toys, they'll be having fun while you do the washing. Floating toys that squeak, shoot water and are shaped like their favorite animals will give them endless amounts of fun for their burgeoning imaginations. It may even be a struggle to pull them away from their bath toys once bath time is over. Although some of their regular baby toys can handle the water, you'll want to get toys specifically for the bath so battery operated toys aren't ruined.
Once your kids are old enough to sit upright on their own and are ready to switch to the full-size bathtub, you'll need to deck it out in a few safety items. To keep your little ones safe from the sharp faucet head, install spout guards and spout extenders. Add a baby gate and you can be sure the tub won't be accessible when it's not in use. Get all your bath time accessories at Lonzada.

Garlic Tomato Grilled Cheese [Tasty Thursday]
A booth served this fairly delicious sandwich at FloydFest this year. When I got home, I had to figure out how to make it. Here's my interpretation - doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes total. Enjoy!
Ingredients (above):
1 tsp minced garlic (I LOVE garlic, so you might go a little or a lot lighter. Garlic powder can be substituted here.)
2 tbsp butter, margarine, or spread
2 slices cheese
2 slices crusty fresh bakery bread (If using sandwich bread, halve the other ingredients)
2 slices tomato
1. Heat the frying pan or grill. (I found it worked better with the grill, but it might not work that well with spongier sandwich bread.)
2. Thoroughly mix the minced garlic and butter (or substitute).
3. Spread the garlic butter mix on the inner face of the bread.
4. Place the cheese on the bread, then the tomato on top of it. If the cheese sticks out over the bread, tear it off and put that on top of the tomato.
5. Stack one side on top of the other. Make sure there's not too much overlap on the cheese slices.
6. Spread the garlic butter on the outer face of the bread.
7. Put the sandwich on the heated grill or pan. Flip frequently for 5-7 minutes.
8. Cut diagonally and enjoy!

Photofabrication Engineering Inc.
Enabling New Technologies through Metal Etching Applications
Photofabrication Engineering, Inc. (PEI) is a global leader in the supply of photochemically- etched (or milled) precision parts to the microelectronics industry. As we like to say, "We've got you covered!"
An entire department is dedicated to the production of custom and standard Step Lids & Flat Lids for seam-weldable microelectronic packages, including lids with getters for hydrogen and moisture absorption. PEI has thousands of standard lid tools available to meet almost every common specification; we also specialize in manufacturing custom lids (with a one-time tooling charge, which may be absorbed on large-volume orders). Our standard base material for lids is etching-grade iron-nickel-cobalt alloy, but in addition we can etch lids from many other materials, including nickel-200, stainless steel, and cold rolled steel. Numerous plating and finishing options are available, including gold plate, electrolytic nickel, and electroless nickel. Selective plating is also available upon request. With our large in-stock inventory of materials, PEI offers the fastest turn-around time for precision lids in the industry.
PEI's EMI Shielding & RF Shielding line further extends our penetration into the microelectronics market. We offer a full line of EMI/RF shields with snap-on, snap-off covers, allowing easy access at any time to components within the shields. These shields are designed to protect components from radio frequency/electromagnetic interference and environmental hazards, and to provide electrical grounding. Standard forming tools are available in any size and shape to create covers that attach onto a fence yet can be removed and replaced easily.
Our photochemically-etched fences have grooves etched approximately 50% of the material thickness, so PEI's custom spring finger designs snap into them firmly. PEI will quote on any existing shield that has a removable cover and apply our design to it; the only tooling charge will be for a phototool, NOT for a forming tool. Our innovative technology and extensive etching capabilities allow us to manufacture reliable, easy-to-use shielding at low cost and with fast deliveries.
Shielding options for circuit board applications include:• One-piece or two-piece construction.• Standard base materials including brass, tin, tin-lead, nickel, copper, and cold-rolled steel, all of which can be provided with solderable plating• Nickel-silver base material, which does not require additional finishing because it is already solderable
As well as lids and shields, PEI supplies a wide variety of custom and standard metal parts to the microelectronics industry, including lead frames, Kovar and molybdenum tabs, and chip carriers. We can etch virtually any metal, from basics like copper, brass and stainless steel to precious metals (including silver and gold) to exotic meals such as titanium, molybdenum, and beryllium copper.
PEI has achieved ISO-9001 and AS9100 certifications and, in 2010, was granted certification under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), allowing it to provide weapon systems components and accessories in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations implemented by the U.S. Department of State.
Another area of expertise for PEI is the manufacture of surface-mount and insert-mount photoetched lead frames to meet exacting electrical, thermal conductivity, and strength requirements for companies providing integrated circuits. These lead frames are used in a wide variety of applications including semiconductors, glass-to-metal seals, and relays.
Using base materials such as kovar, nickel-iron alloys, copper alloys, and pure nickel, PEI can plate lead frames in their entirety or selectively. Lead-free plating materials include silver, nickel, gold, or tin, depending on the customer's specific electrical and thermal conductivity requirements. Since the lead frame is the main conduit by which heat flows from the chip to the printed circuit board, PEI tailors the manufacturing material so that it will maximize the device's operating life for any given application or environment.
PEI manufactures high-density lead frames with acute profiles and ultra-fine pitches, allowing for high pin counts. Single- or double-sided lead frames can be etched without incurring the stresses associated with typical machining methods. More importantly, PEI's process can be used for lead frames that are too complicated for stamping. Dimensions can be held to extremely tight tolerances, with no burrs or other surface irregularities.
PEI's lead frames range in thickness from 0.5 mil [0.0127 mm] to 40 mil [1.575 mm], with features as small as 4 mil [0.10 mm] on 0.010 in. [0.254 mm) centers, creating lead frames that are strong enough to be handled yet flexible enough to allow bending when necessary.
For high-quality etched parts from almost any metal, at the lowest possible price and with the fastest turn-around, talk to Photofabrication Engineering today about all of your product needs. PEI's products are all proudly made in the U.S.A.
Some sample illustrations follow but please see the photo gallery for more applications:

Individualized Major Program
FACULTY Zant, Johnson.
The purpose of the individualized major program is to provide an opportunity for students to design their own courses of study. Students who have completed at least one semester at Bradley or at any other college or university may apply for the program.
Entry into the program presupposes a definite objective on the student's part. Students without definite academic plans should register in academic exploration rather than in the individualized major program.
Students in this program must create their own areas of specialization (majors) by developing programs of study around their own particular academic interests. These programs of study may span several academic disciplines, but cannot duplicate existing majors within the University.
- Students in the program must meet all University and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requirements.
- Students graduating in the program must have a 2.25 over-all grade point average.
- Before being admitted into the program, students must submit a written statement of their objectives and a detailed curriculum for the approval of the advisors.
- A staff of advisors provides assistance and direction to students in the program. Students will choose one advisor to meet with at least once each academic year for counseling and review.
- The program offers both the B.A. and the B.S. degree. Those seeking the B.A. must complete two years of college level study of a foreign language, or the equivalent of such study.

Hi All,
Been looking through the forums, but can't find up to date info.....
I've been looking for work in Korea from the UK and have all my documents together for an E2 application.
I've now been offered a position, which sounds ideal......but the recruiter is saying that I should come to Korea on a tourist visa and then go on a visa run to get the "proper visa".
I've never been to Korea before, so I'm not just renewing or anything.
This sounds dodgy to me......any advice?
Thanks in advance!

1/4 tsp baking powder
3/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter (or margerine)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" or 8" round or square pan.
- Sift flour with baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream butter and add sugar gradually to blend thoroughly.
- Stir in eggs and vanilla to butter/sugar mixture. Then stir in sifted ingredients. Add nuts if desired. Batter will be fairly smooth and thin.
- Spread batter in greased pan, bake at 350 for 20 min. Check for doneness with a toothpick. If toothpick is clean/dry, remove brownies from oven.
- Cool, cut into squares, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with ice cream for best taste!
UPDATE: Zsuzsa very kindly wrote a post complimenting these butterscotch brownies--the recipe is very much like one she remembers a neighbor baking years ago. Thank you to her for the mention, and thank you to Floyda for this not-too-sweet treat!

text: I worked pretty hard on my ESB Fett all summer long, and our local SciFi Con a few weeks ago was a blast, but trying to enjoy the Con in costume was a real pain. I decided that I should come up with an alternate costume to easily walk around in, then change into my Boba Fett for any costume contests or pictures, etc. I was looking around at what options were available for a Jedi or Sith costume, and found the basic patterns were pretty similar to each other with the main difference being fabric and color scheme. I was having trouble deciding what colors to choose when it hit me - ESB Fett colors! Here's what I came up with to start:
