Macbeth | Othello | Romeo and Juliet | The Tempest | A Midsummer Night's Dream
Introduction to William Shakespeare
Illustrations to the play
The illustrations are taken from the H. R. Forrest Collection, 76 folio volumes of illustrations to Shakespeare up to 1890. There are three volumes illustrating Hamlet, the first an extra-illustrated edition of the text, the second the illustrations. These include title pages, artists' impressions of scenes from the play and portraits of famous actors.
They are followed by photographs from important productions by Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
Criticism, texts, production material and film versions of the play of video and DVD are all available in Birmingham Libraries, many can be borrowed for use at home.
The title page of Rowe's 1709 edition shows the 'Closet Scene'; Hamlet is upbraiding his mother for having married Claudius, Hamlet's uncle. The Ghost of Hamlet's father intervenes. Hamlet sees the Ghost of his father, the Queen does not:
Queen: To whom do you speak this?
Hamlet: Do you see nothing there?
In the 18th century actors wore contemporary dress of that time when they played Shakespeare.
Hamlet: I'll call thee Hamlet
King, Father, royal Dane. O answer me!
The play throws up many dilemmas: Is this the ghost of Hamlet's father, or is it an apparition sent by the Devil? Has Hamlet's uncle murdered his father or is he innocent? Hamlet's will is paralysed by uncertainty.
Hamlet: 'Unhand me, gentlemen,
By heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that lets me!....
Marcellus: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Act I scene 4.
Henry Fuseli 1741-1825
'Unhand me gentlemen!
By heaven I'll make a ghost of him that lets me...'
Fuseli created this dramatic image of Hamlet following his father's Ghost for Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, which opened in London in 1789 and contained a collection of paintings from Shakespeare commissioned from the most important artists. Copies of the most popular paintings were engraved and used to illustrate some of the many 19th century editions of Shakespeare's works.
Ophelia runs mad on hearing that Hamlet has murdered her father, Polonius:
I cannot choose but weep to think they would lay him I th cold ground. My brother shall know of it&good night, ladies
The actress shown is probably Harriet Smithson, a well known Irish actress, who played Ophelia in Paris in 1827 where Berlioz fell in love with her.
This is the famous scene where Ophelia sings her mad, but meaningful, songs, giving wild flowers to the King and Queen:
Theres rue for you, and heres some for me..
Kemble was another famous Hamlet. He trained for the priesthood, but discovered his true vocation when he joined an acting company. His first London appearance was as Hamlet at Drury Land Theatre in 1783, and became one of the great tragedy actors of his time. His sister, Sarah Siddons, was also very famous for her Shakespearean roles.
Henry Irving 1838-1905
Sir Henry Irving, brought up a strict Methodist in Cornwall, became the most famous late 19th century actor, performing with Ellen Terry and his company at the Lyceum Theatre in London, and on tour. Irving's Hamlet was dignified and melancholy, and was probably an important influence on the most well known Hamlets of the 20th century, particularly Sir John Gielgud.
Birmingham Repertory Theatre, 1925.
Sir Barry Jackson's 1920s modern dress productions of Shakespeare at Birmingham Repertory Theatre were very influential.
In Shakespeare's time actors wore modern dress of the day whatever the play they were acting in.
However, by the middle of the 19th century the fashion was for theatres to try to re-create the period of a play. For Shakespeare this mostly meant that the plays were performed in Elizabethan dress.
Sir Barry Jackson wanted to re-create the contemporary feel of the plays familiar to Shakespeare's audience. To do this he set his productions in the modern period, the 1920s.
Modern dress Shakespeare continues to be very controversial, some people love it and some audiences hate it. Probably the best known recent modern dress Shakespeare productions are Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet and the English Shakespeare Company's productions of the History plays.
Mr. Bennett as Hamlet 1820, Tuppence coloured
Hand coloured prints of actors in their most famous roles used to be sold as souvenirs, like photos of film stars today.
They could be bought either 'penny plain' or 'tuppence coloured'. Hand-colouring prints was a cottage industry, often done at home with the children all helping.

Miami's installation of Art Walk has become a culturally rich, socially saturated event every second Saturday of the month. With a slew of places to go and things to see, there's something to be said about hosting one of the better attended events that night. And not to toot our own horn or anything, but that's exactly what we did this weekend.
In true Del Toro form, Miami's style set arrived slippered-up in the brand's signature styles to celebrate Matthew Chevallard's highly anticipated collaboration with Alexander Mijares. With both gentlemen on hand to sign the first 24 pairs purchased, the limited-edition shoe sold out within the first few hours of the event, resulting in an unprecedented demand for the his-and-hers varieties.
For those of you slowpokes who missed out on the first batch (we can't say we didn't warn you), Del Toro is taking special orders. Secure your pair now (like, right now) by clicking here.

My daughter is currently practicing a piano version of Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens (so I have it in my head). The other day, I heard a baroque piece for violin and recorder. At one point, the violin played what sounded to me to be the opening violin melody of the Saint Saens; same dissonance, same rhythm, etc. Of course I failed to capture the coordinates of the piece. Does anyone out there recognize this so as to be able to identify the baroque piece?

a rebuild kit should not be too expensive, and is not that hard to put in. just pay attention to where every thing comes out and put it back the same way. on the adjusting screws i count the turn in till it bottoms out, wright that down for when i reinstall.then take it out. that way i am almost always right on or close when it goes back together.
good luck on it, keep us posted.

hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
well, instead of spending money an a new carb, i tried my luck on the q-jet and a rebuild kit. sos far everything turned out well. it went back together pretty easy and tuned pretty good. i drove it around today to see about fuel usage and all that. i am getting about 14 to 19 m.p.g. down the freeway. pretty good for an old carbureted v-8 4wd. i have a couple more pics of the truck cleaned up.
Your truck is looking SOOO great!!!! Wish I had the expertise you do, but since I'm just getting into welding, I'll just concentrate on that first
I'll let my friend do the mechanic work

Gas Rigs
Don't anybody cut a gas engine short.My rig is a 1990 Ford F-450 Super Duty. It has a fuel injected 460,E4OD trans and a Dana 80 rear I have over 550,000 miles on this truck. I jerked the engine at 325,000 miles and rebuilt it, the rebuild has 225,000 on it now.I had the trans rebuilt at 350,000 and its still going strong. I also put a new cab and front clip on it at about 375,000 miles due to all the salt we use in Michigan in the winter. The cab and front clip came from Alabama. I don't baby this truck one bit. This truck weighs in at close to 15,500 lbs. +/- 1000 lbs depending on what I'm hauling at any given time for a particular job. It runs up and down the road at 70-75 mph. I service the truck regularly at 3000 miles and do a complete oil change on trans once a year, thgats quite easy on this truck because the torque converter on these trans has a drain plug so I can drain all 19 quarts of tranny fluid. This has been a great truck and engine,trans and rear end combo for me. I only need to work 2 1/2 more years and I dont figure on getting a new rig, In fact I figure I'll keep doing a little side work so me and my rig will just be semi-retired. Anyhow enough ramblin, JUST DON'T CUT A GAS RIG SHORT Jim
LOl, squirting on the "outside" is not good I see the kit fixed that, glad to hear it. That is great mileage for that yr vehicle. I would have expected around 10-12.
Black wolf thats a cool example of the different circuits, seems I've seen that somewhere before. Could it have been school....ha ha. I've forgot alot in 25 yrs
JROC I agree with you, I work on both and both gas and diesel have their place. The gas engines are mostly Chevrolet and we have lots of them with over 200K on them. The Fords seem to do just as well. . We've often joked in the shop, we could replace a 5.7 gas engine for the cost of a set of injectors in a 6.0 diesel. But the 6.0 is a good runner when everything is right. Still hearing more rumors from our fleet people on a CAT/ Ford thing. That would be great. Good luck with your truck, I bet it makes it untill you retireScott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
how about some cab mounts now.....i have checked with parts houses here locally and nope, dont have 'em is all i get. the cab mounts are completely shot and would like to replace them. anyone have an idea where to start?
I have bought a couple things from this place, ford stuff but they have chevy stuff too. Also JC Whitney has alot of stuff. lately though my local Chevy dealer has given me great prices.
Good luck, still running good??Scott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
hmw, thanks for the link. i will definately give 'em a try. i am going to have to put a check ball in the fuel line. after a couple days of sitting around, it takes a minute to pick up fuel. i bought an in-line fuel filter once before that had a built in check ball. its time to start remembering all the stuff i "used to know"
Sounds more like the choke isn't working right, just a guess though. Have never had to put a check in a fuel line before that i remember. I'd have to check on it but I think some fuel pumps have it built in. Also the only filter that was in the Q-jets was the one right at the carb. That is if my memory is right and I'm not thinking of something else. Its been along time since I worked on one. Everything I work on now is fuel injected gas/diesel. The float bowl should still be full even after a couple of days. That would be enough to start I would think. Does it start easy then quit?? You can operate the accelarator pump by hand to see if its really "out of fuel" after it quits.
Just givining you some stuff to think about, good luckScott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
Quadrajunks are known to let the fuel leak down into the intake manifold when sitting for a day or two. Check the needle and seat and also check for a cracked float, that is also known to happen quite often. DaveIf necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

I'm on my lunch break ladies. Just now getting a chance to log onto the site.
Thanks so much for the name suggestions. Like yours alot Linda. Never thought of that. It was passed my bedtime last night when I posted this. My brain was dead.
Glad you like it…..
Those large flat ovals look like Kashgar Garnet to me!!! It's a really pretty stone! I have some! Nice necklace!
Thank you Little Chick. I will look up Kashgar Garnet – have not hear of it. But you are right really pretty stone. Fell in love with it as soon as I spotted them. They were a bit pricey – but hey – who can put a price on love. HA HA
Very pretty!!!!

The Passivhaus has its roots in the USA in the seventies, when Amory Lovins proposed super-insulated houses that could be warmed by a hair dryer. They caught on in Germany, where Passivhaus became a standard that is being followed all over Europe. Now that building standard is coming to America.
It is really very simple: you pack in a s**tload of insulation, install very high-performance windows, seal it up tight as a drum and install a very good mechanical ventilation system so that you don't suffocate.
They can be built in really cold climates, like this Passivhaus mountain hut in Austria
Or They can be built in temperate climates, like the O'niell House in Sonoma, California. It uses 70% less energy than a conventional northern California home. Treehugger has noted that we should forget energy star and LEED — the new green building standard is Passivhaus.
The Passivhaus standard isn't just for new construction, either; It can also be used for renovations, but it isn't easy. It is also being used for multifamily structures, like a proposed co-housing project in Brooklyn. The New York Times gave it a great graphic explanation of how it works. But not everyone is convinced that it is perfect; Alex Wilson of Greenbuilding.com thinks that it might be a bit inflexible for America.
Katrin Klingenberg, who brought the Passivhaus to America and runs the Passive House Institute, uses the Anglicized term Passive House. I think, like the British, that we should keep the term Passivhaus as the descriptive word for the standard; passive design is becoming common, but is not the same thing.

I love the idea. One thing worries me, and that's radon. -joshua

I think Passivhaus standard works great for two kind of homes:
1. Homes which are located where the climate is moderate; neither too hot nor too cold
2. New homes. Passivhaus doesn't address how we can make the existing buildings more energy efficient without undertaking a huge renovation effort. And, if we want to address the climate issue, making existing buildings green will be a big an important part of it.
These issues can be addressed by relaxing some of the requirements for heating and cooling for extreme climates as well as more appropriate standard for energy efficiency in existing buildings existing buildings.

[…] an ultra-efficient cave-like home that's on track to be New York State's first passive house. The Architects Newspaper tells us that the home is currently under construction in Claverack, New […]

You are righht – it is in principle quite simple. But most important is: It is tried and tested, it really works. In Europe not only for dwellings, but also for offices, kindergartens, schools, supermarkets, … And, what might be even more important: It is healthy (fresh air) and very comfortable (ask anybody living in a passive house). When we built the first experimental house in Germany 1990, we have been in contact with Amory Lovins – and we have of course learned from the early US experience (William Shurcliff and others).

Nice picture of the Schiestlhaus on the Hochschwab in Austria. More information on this projekt is available at http://www.schiestlhaus.at.
Since it is built in a remote region, all systems are developed to function autonomously with no links to any grids at all. Just read through the offical homepage, it includes all details on the project.

Thanks for creating this post, Lloyd. I am a board member of the Passive House Alliance, a trade organization for Passive House in the U.S. We are a growing community of designers and builders with about 100 people certified as Passive House Consultants. May I suggest posting a link to the Passive House Institute?

No. 4 Furman Shuts Out East Tennessee State, 25-0
Saturday, October 26, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Oct. 26, 2002) - The No. 4-ranked Furman Paladins controlled the ball on offense, compiling almost a ten-minute time of possession advantage in a 25-0 win over East Tennessee State Saturday afternoon from Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn. The shutout is the second of the season against the Bucs, as they fell to North Carolina State, 34-0 in the season opener on Aug. 31. The first quarter went scoreless, but Furman (6-2, 4-1 Southern Conference) got into the end zone on the first play of the second stanza. Brian Bratton hauled in a 19-yard pass across the middle from quarterback Billy Napier. The extra point was blocked by ETSU (4-5, 2-3 SoCon) senior defensive tackle Kai Schreckenberg (Wuppertal, Germany) to make the score 6-0 with 14:55 remaining in the second quarter. Both teams seemed content to go into halftime with Furman leading 6-0. But with just 49 seconds remaining, Furman punt receiver Bear Rinehart took an Aaron Bass (Clinton, Tenn.) punt at his own 34-yard line and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown. The score at the half was 12-0 in favor of Furman after the Paladins' two-point conversion attempt failed. On their first possession of the second half, Furman fullback Eric Emerson scored on a two-yard run up the middle with 10:49 left in the third quarter. Paladin running back Lamar Rembert was the key performer on the drive, rushing for 54 yards on just four carries. Furman kicker Danny Marshall split the uprights to give the Paladins a 19-0 lead. Napier put Furman's final six points on the board as he went up the middle for a one-yard quarterback sneak. The final margin of victory was 25-0 after Marshall's extra point attempt sailed wide right. Furman had the ball for 34:17 on offense, compared to 25:43 for the Buccaneers. The Paladins almost went all afternoon without a punt, as they kicked the ball away just once with 3:10 remaining in the game. Both teams had success running the ball as Furman had 209 yards on the ground while the Buccaneers had 160. ETSU junior running back Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.) had a game-high 85 yards on 17 carries. Buccaneer senior quarterback Jatavis Sanders (Stone Mountain, Ga.) had 55 yards rushing on 11 carries. Furman was led by Hindley Brigham, who had 79 yards rushing on 16 carries. Lamar Rembert finished just behind Brigham, tallying 75 yards on 12 carries. Napier had an efficient day for the Paladins, going 17-29 with 188 yards in the air, a touchdown and an interception. Sanders went 16-32 with 130 yards passing and two interceptions. Rinehart had a game-high six receptions for 60 yards for Furman. Bratton and Toreico O'Neal each hauled in four passes for the Paladins. Varner had a team-high five receptions for ETSU, while senior wide receiver Cecil Moore (Morristown, Tenn.) had 60 yards receiving on four catches. On the defensive side of the ball, junior linebacker Andrew Foerster (Kingsport, Tenn.) and sophomore safety Gerald Sensabaugh (Kingsport, Tenn.) each had a game-high 12 tackles for the Buccaneers. Sensabaugh also had a tackle for a loss and a fumble recovery. For the Paladins, Keito Whetstone had a team-high eight tackles and also recorded a tackle for a loss. The road gets no easier for the Buccaneers, as they travel to Statesboro, Ga. next Saturday to face Georgia Southern at 3:30 p.m. Furman has next week off before hosting Georgia Southern in an important Southern Conference matchup on Nov. 9.

In school me and my buddies would sometimes partake in something we called "beast night". We'd all throw $10 in a pot and whomever got the nastiest chick that night got the pot. Sometimes the abuse you took the next day wasn't nearly worth the 60-80 bucks you won
another one was "rodeo". I'm sure a version of this has been played all across this fine land in some form or another but this was our rendition. You'd pick up some fatty at a house party. One of those chicks who you have to put hardly any effort in nailing. You get her up to the room and tell her that you have to do it from behind. Well as your plowing into her you suddenly yell "yippe yi yay". Now unbeknownst to her, a few of your friends are hiding outside the door, in the closet or wherever they can hear and see what's going on. Upon hearing your battle cry they would all burst in and yell "ride em cowboy". The game was to see how long you could ride her before she bucks you off.

Here's the early betting on who will head committees if Republicans regain control of the House, based on reporting by National Journal's Major Garrett.
* Ranking member likely to become chairman
** Someone other than ranking member likely to become chairman
? Unclear who would become chairman
x GOP leadership would likely kill committee
Committee: AGRICULTURE
Ranking member: Frank Lucas, Oklahoma
Likely chairman: Frank Lucas, Oklahoma (*)
Anaylsis: Done deal. Lucas owns a farm and cattle ranch in Cheyenne, Okla. He won a special election in May 1994, a victory that foreshadowed the GOP wave that year. He's played a big role in the last two farms bills. The 2002 bill helped unravel 1990s cuts to farm subsidies. His district is 15th on the list of top subsidy-receiving districts.
Committee: APPROPRIATIONS
Ranking member: Jerry Lewis, California
Likely chairman: Unclear (?)
Anaylsis: Lewis needs a waiver since he's served as top committee Republican for six years. Harold Rogers of Kentucky is also vying and has a contingent of supporters who oppose all chairmanship waivers. To some, Lewis is a symbol of D.C. spenders. In 2007, he was fifth in the House in home-district earmarks with $137 million.
Committee: ARMED SERVICES
Ranking member: Buck McKeon, California
Likely chairman: Buck McKeon, California (*)
Anaylsis: Done deal. A Boehner protégé, McKeon was chairman and ranking Republican on Boehner's old committee, Education and Labor, before leaving that post in 2009 to become the top Republican on Armed Services. He's 17th on the list of top 20 Republican donors backing GOP candidates this cycle.
Committee: BUDGET
Ranking member: Paul Ryan, Wisconisin
Likely chairman: Paul Ryan, Wisconisin (*)
Anaylsis: Done deal. Ryan is an idea dynamo and has drawn up the most specific plan to reduce long-term entitlement spending. Look for him to expand the committee's role in the appropriations process.
Committee: EDUCATION AND LABOR
Ranking member: John Kline, Minnesota
Likely chairman: John Kline, Minnesota (*)
Anaylsis: Elected in 2002, Kline is another Boehner loyalist and staunch fiscal and social conservative, workmanlike on the committee and a fierce campaigner who won his seat in 2002 on the third try. He's 16th on the list of top 20 Republican donors financing candidates this cycle.
Committee: ENERGY AND COMMERCE
Ranking member: Joe Barton, Texas
Likely chairman: Unclear (?)
Anaylsis: Barton would need a waiver, having served as the top Republican for six years. He infuriated leadership and rank-and-file members when he called the White House-engineered $20 billion BP fund for oil-spill victims a "shakedown." Barton is the 12th most generous donor to this year's GOP candidates. Fred Upton of Michigan and John Shimkus of Illinois are the alternatives.
Committee: ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND GLOBAL WARMING
Ranking member: James Sensenbrenner, Wisconsin
Likely chairman: None (x)
Anaylsis: The GOP leadership would kill this committee, created by Speaker Pelosi to highlight global-warming issues. GOP leaders would fold its role into the Science and Technology Committee.
Committee: FINANCIAL SERVICES
Ranking member: Spencer Bachus, Alabama
Likely chairman: Unclear (?)
Anaylsis: Bachus has a reputation as the man who got rolled by the Democrats in the debate over financial-services regulation; some Republicans think he is therefore ill-suited to wage the fight to rewrite that law. The next most likely chairman would be Ed Royce of California. Others with interest: Jeb Hensarling of Texas and Scott Garrett of New Jersey.
Committee: FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Ranking member: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Florida
Likely chairman: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Florida (*)
Anaylsis: Done deal. Ros-Lehtinen would be the only woman to lead a committee and was the first Cuban-American and first Hispanic woman elected to Congress. Lehtinen refused to sign the 1994 Contract With America and opposed the 1996 welfare-reform law.
Committee: HOMELAND SECURITY
Ranking member: Peter King, New York
Likely chairman: Unclear (?)
Anaylsis: King is term-limited and would need a waiver. He has carved out a national profile on homeland-security issues, but waivers will be hard to come by. Candice Miller of Michigan wants the post and is close to leadership.
Committee: HOUSE ADMINISTRATION*
Ranking member: Dan Lungren, California
Likely chairman: Dan Lungren, California (*)
Anaylsis: If Lungren can hold onto his 3rd District seat (by no means certain), this low-wattage committee is his.
Committee: INTELLIGENCE*
Ranking member: Pete Hoekstra, Michigan
Likely chairman: Unclear (?)
Anaylsis: Hoesktra left the House to run for governor. Mac Thornberry of Texas would skip over Californian Elton Gallegly because he's developed sharper expertise on intelligence and defense issues. Mike Rogers of Michigan is a former FBI agent and Boehner favorite for having clashed with House Democratic titans John Dingell and the late John Murtha.
Committee: JUDICIARY
Ranking member: Lamar Smith, Texas
Likely chairman: Lamar Smith, Texas (*)
Anaylsis: Done deal. Smith, a former reporter with the Christian Science Monitor, was elected in 1986 and his campaign was run by a then little-known operative named Karl Rove. Smith works well with Democrats and is a recognized party expert on cybersecurity, crime, and immigration policy.
Committee: NATURAL RESOURCES
Ranking member: Doc Hastings, Washington
Likely chairman: Doc Hastings, Washington (*)
Anaylsis: Hastings is a friend and ally of Boehner's. He landed as ranking member last year but has made little mark, in part because of deep divisions on environmental policy between the parties.
Committee: OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM
Ranking member: Darrell Issa, California
Likely chairman: Darrell Issa, California (*)
Anaylsis: Complete lock for a lawmaker who used to sell car-alarm systems. Issa has already used his minority staff to push for committeewide investigations in to White House interference in party primaries. Issa has already prepared a small binder of investigations and congressional reforms he intends to pursue. He's 15th on the list of biggest donors to GOP candidates this cycle.
Committee: RULES*
Ranking member: David Dreier, California
Likely chairman: David Dreier, California (*)
Anaylsis: Done deal. Dreier gained this position through leadership appointment and is the only nonelected member of the formal GOP leadership team. His institutional knowledge and procedural ability and precision with its arcane language make him a cinch to regain the chairmanship he held from 1999
to 2006.
Committee: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Ranking member: Ralph Hall, Texas
Likely chairman: Ralph Hall, Texas (*)
Anaylsis: Hall is next in line and wants the chairmanship, having never run a committee for his adopted Republican Party. Hall, 87, is the oldest member of the House. He was elected as a Democrat in 1980 but switched parties in 2004 when faced with new district lines and numerous potential GOP challengers.
Committee: SMALL BUSINESS
Ranking member: Sam Graves, Missouri
Likely chairman: Sam Graves, Missouri (*)
Anaylsis: Graves is in line and has ruffled no feathers; GOPers, for good reason, don't see this as a marquee committee and will leave the regular progression of members in place.
Committee: STANDARDS OF OFFICIAL CONDUCT (ETHICS)*
Ranking member: Jo Bonner, Alabama
Likely chairman: Jo Bonner, Alabama (*)
Anaylsis: Service on this committee is a chore and nobody wants it. Bonner's been a team player, serving on the Ethics Committee since 2007. With trials upcoming for Democrats Charles Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California, continuity is key.
Committee: TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Ranking member: John Mica, Florida
Likely chairman: John Mica, Florida (*)
Anaylsis: Mica has been a subcommittee chairman or ranking subcommittee member since 2001 and has written laws on airport security and passenger screening. He's also responsible for the law allowing pilots to carry handguns into the cockpit.
Committee: VETERANS' AFFAIRS
Ranking member: Steve Buyer, Indiana
Likely chairman: Jeff Miller, Florida (**)
Anaylsis: Miller would jump four slots to land the chairmanship (Buyer and Henry Brown of South Carolina retired, and Jerry Moran of Kansas is running for governor). Fellow Floridian Cliff Stearns is the only member with more seniority. Miller's the favorite because he's taken veterans and defense issues to heart, and both factor prominently in his district.
Committee: WAYS AND MEANS
Ranking member: Dave Camp, Michigan
Likely chairman: Dave Camp, Michigan (*)
Anaylsis: Camp is sixth on the top-20 list of GOP incumbents contributing to challengers this cycle. This reinforces Camp's insider credentials. He outraised Wally Herger of California and catapulted over him in 2008 to be the ranking member on Ways and Means. He also played a key role on welfare reform in 1996.
This article appears in the October 27, 2010 edition of National Journal Magazine.

It's been a dog's life with Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott, whose two miniature goldendoodles, Baker and Hobbs, enjoy the good life when the trio is out on the road.
"They're the funniest, sweetest. We only got Baker a couple months ago. We weren't really sure because Hobbs is so used to being on the road. He's more comfortable out on the road than he is at home. We were just curious to see if they would really get along. And they don't even know we are in the room half the time. Like they are so obsessed with each other. They just play and play and play and wear themselves out. It's so cute."
When asked how she chose that breed, Scott said it was all about size and temperament.
"Hobbs is full grown and he's 13 pounds and Baker will be about 15 pounds. I am a huge proponent of rescuing animals and think that's so important and eventually we will do that. But traveling like we do, I just needed to know how big they would be. I needed to know all of that going in instead of going in and getting a sweet, sweet puppy and then it turning into being 100 pounds."
Of course, the puppies will have some new competition for Hillary's attention. She and husband Chris Tyrell, Lady Antebellum's drummer, are expecting their first child this summer.

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 was manually shut down Tuesday morning due to a failure of equipment associated with the unit's steam generator feed pump.
At 5:45 a.m. Tuesday, the reactor was prompted to shut down by the trip of a steam generator feedwater pump due to high vibrations that appear to be caused by a failed mechanical coupling between the pump's motor and the pump, according to an email from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Neil Sheehan.
CCNPP spokesman Kory Raftery said Thursday morning that unit 2 was "safely synchronized" to the grid at about 8:50 a.m. Thursday.
As of 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Raftery said all "initial indications" point to the failure of equipment associated with the unit's stean generator feed pump and the coupling between the pump's motor and the pump.
"At no time was the public's safety at risk," Raftery said, adding that the plant's system responded as designed without complications.
In Sheehan's email, he said the two resident inspectors "will continue to review the event and the response by plant personnel to [the shutdown]."
Raftery explained the plant will continue to investigate the shutdown, make the necessary repairs to the unit and test the unit befire resynching to the electric grid.
"We have no information to suggest this shutdown is related to the automatic shutdown [on May 8]," Raftery said Tuesday morning.
The May 8 shutdown was due to an electrical fault involving turbine electro-hydraulic controls circuitry that resulted in an increase in reactor vessel pressure.
Sheehan said in the email that if a plant has more than three shutdowns during the previous 7,000 hours of operations, the NRC's level of insight will increase.
During a phone interview Tuesday afternoon, Sheehan said CCNPP Unit 2 has two more to go before that insight is increased. He said having "two in a short span of each other means they're going to want to be very mindful."
Raftery said the current investigation is the plant's focus right now to ensure that the unit can "run reliably for the long haul."

Your 'baubles' are so nice...and thank you, for learning me how to write a new english word!
I always talk about 'Christmas balls' but baubles is a much nicer word i think ;-)
CUTE!!!!! :-)ReplyDelete
Spooky. I was leafing through the CK Christmas Gift Guide this morning and LOVING the birdy baubles. Surely I could make my own I thought ...
Hanging them in a pretty clutter is genius!
This is a lovely idea! I have got loads of really boring plain baubles that just never get used... now I know what to do with them... ask my sister to paint them!! :)xReplyDelete
What a fablous idea, I love it.Thanks for sharing xoxReplyDelete
Adorable idea my friend....I have done some with initials...so fun. But I love your flowers.
Oh yes...I have watched elf too...I could watch that show over and over and over again. xoxo Hugs

I just love this idea, thanks so much for sharing. I will have to try and give this a go :)ReplyDelete

We looked for Elf to watch the other day but couldnt find it - boo - never too early 'Did you hear that?'. I have Frank Sinatra Xmas CD in car and vintage baubles that I bought at the car boot in a glass dish - ho ho ho - bring it on I say. Love the baubles great idea off to ebay search floral decals.ReplyDelete
Fab idea Jane. My fingers are itching to have a go. Stupidly though my hands have swelled up and hurt so much I can't even turn a doorknob. Too much making stuff syndrome - who knows? Needed help doing up buttons the other day and Mr Bun had to get his glasses to see what he was doing - we're registered old farts already. Anyways once I have hands again I'll give it a go.

Max Chilton feels Mercedes could suffer the most if interconnected suspension systems are banned from Formula 1.
Earlier this week, news broke that the FIA had written to all the teams informing them that the Front-and-Rear Interconnected Suspension (FRIC) systems controvene Article 3.15 of F1's Technical Regulations.
Motorsport's governing body believes the FRIC system could be considered a moveable aerodynamic device.
A decision on whether or not to be the system ahead of next weekend's German GP has yet to be made with Chilton claiming that if it does go through it will affect Mercedes more than the rest of the field.
He told told Sky Sports News: "I hear the Mercedes system is very complicated so it could affect them more."
In preparation for a potential ban, Chilton ran without the system during Wednesday's second day of testing at Silverstone.
"We had new parts to take off because the FRIC system is under investigation and we thought we might as well try the car and see what we could do without it in case it goes that way," he revealed.
"We did lots of different set up changes and I think we learnt a lot."
He added: "It didn't feel as bad as I thought. It will depend on what circuit you are at.
"At Silverstone it didn't seem to take a huge amount of balance away from the car and by the end of the day we kind of got it back to where it was so it was actually quite an encouraging sign."

Would Victor be a good fit for the West Coast scheme? I do know he has the Latino dance moves to fit in, in SO FL. Would you want him?
I would love to have him. However the Giants are going to tender him with a first round pick and possibly more or they'll probably resign him before he gets any offers from somewhere else.
If the Gmen let him walk! The Fins would be crazy not to attempt to sign him!!!! Depending on what he wants in money!!!!
Deputy Shaw
Victor will get tendered at the highest level and it would cost us a 1st round pick, plus a HUGE contract to steal him from the G-men.
The contract would have to be big enough that the Giants would be unwilling to match.

"...the best quarterback I believe is Dan Marino..."

Honestly I'd give Cruz a contract around the ballpark of Marshall's deal, he's that GOOD.
Cruz is a native of New Jersey and grew up just a few miles away from Giants and Metlife Stadium, so I doubt that he would leave the Giants.
It's worth exploring but I have a feeling that both Cruz and the Giants really would ultimately like to figure out a way to make it work.
Twitter: @ckparrot
His tender will probably be a 1 and a 3 and we'd have to give him a 10-12 mil/yr deal on top of that. No thanks.
Jets suck, Bills suck, Patriots suck.

I quite like reading it because of the detail and regularity of the mocks, and they actually get quite accurate up to draft time.
But a lot of the stuff on there is rubbish most of the time
Sharif Floyd at 12?? Lol ok
I read the Walter Football site during the season and off-season! Walt is hugely entertaining although his picks have been losing tons of money the last few seasons. Charlie Campbell does solid work on the Draft and College Football coverage.
well now he has Floyd going number 3.
these guys and nationalfootballpost.com are great sites to read IMO
Reshad "GET IT ON" Jones
gettin it on!
By the way, I hate Walter's updated draft for us. Normally I like them... but this one... ew! I like 2 of the picks, hate 3, and am indifferent towards 1.
I would advise not reading the latest mock from Walter. Instantly ticked me off.

Welding inside of my smoker. No way you could ever clean all the smoke and grease out it enough to make a nice clean weld. Thankfully it wasn't anything critical.

My worst as in difficult was probably the top rail bracket of an elevator addition. 35' feet in the air, no way to stage it, I was basically tied off, hanging upside down doing an overhead fillet welding the bracket to the beam.
Another was welding in a 4" tall "post" that mated the new addition structure to the existing W24X128 main roof beam. I had to cut off the W24 beam, weld a 3/4" plate onto the end of it and jack it up enough so I could slip the 6x6X1/2" "post" between the w24 and the new steel under it. I had to do this all through a 12" wide slot cut through the masonry bearing wall. I went through many, many 7018 rods with 3 bends in them.Bobcat 225NT

Well, my worst weld which i hope NO ONE ever sees was welding a door back on a jeep on the trail. the door was barely atatched by the bottom hinge and the top was broken completely off. THe wner didnt want to take the door off it's hinges to fix it properly so through a combination of some 6011, covered and coupled by some MIG action in there too we got the door to stick. It looked about like some one put grey bubble gum on the top and bottom of the hinge.
Luckily I have a 4x4 that holds my generator and welders or he's be driving with no door at all still today. that was a month or so ago and it's still holding.. I've offered to pull the door, grind out the welds and fix it right, but he says the door's never sealed better and he's fine the way it is.. i told him NEVER tell anyone that's one of my welds :LOL:Dynasty 200DX

Depends on which process, We all made lots of bad ones when first starting I remember one time when all I had was 6013 and a buz box and I had more slag trapped in it then weld bead, just tried welding over it until it looked like a bee hive!!
35years later I get my new Dynasty200 and decide to teach myself aluminum! I welded a flat bead on some scrap stuff about 11ga and looking through the hood it looked nice, lifted the torch, the sparks flew! I got off the pedal, and was admiring my flat weld (wondering where that filler material went??? Turned it over and there it was dripping out the bottom (That is the day I got registered on this site and started asking questions (just cause I been welding for 45 years didn't make me a Tig welder)

I'm not a pro and will never claim to be !! First starting out I had so many bad welds I cant even begin to think of which one would have been the worst. I think the worst to work on was an oil tank on a cheep store bought log splitter. I for sure was not happy and defiantly was not proud, but when a friend needs help I try when I can. The happy ending was he left happy, had no leaks and thought it looked wonderful.
Some of the worst welds I've done - and the ones I hated doing the most were the other week, welding together a bust exhaust on my son's car. No ramps or jack, slushy mess on the ground, trying to weld the top side of a rusty exhaust, right by the clamp, under the heat shield. Couldn't see anything, not enough clearance under the car to move, my butt was soggy, couldn't get the gun in there, using the mirror and a flashlight. Mask kept fogging and snagging on the car. Basically it ended up look, position, shut the eyes and weld for 5 seconds, look in the mirror and repeat. Got it stuck together and I know it will hold, but I'm not proud of those welds.
I would say my worst was on a hydraulic cylinder return tube. The one that comes out of the side of the cylinder and runs right down the side. The bend at the top was a 1" radius that was cut short and there was no way to get an angle on it for penetration. The return tube was 0.5" diameter with a 0.035 wall thickness so burn through was a big problem. I got a good wrap and overlap underneath and the weld looked great. I was happy with it until we pressurized the cylinder and it blew a stream of oil across the shop. I was the weld engineer and has 15 welders watching what I was doing. A little work and we fixed it. Instead of solid mig wire we tested, proved and went to metal cored wire and the change in penetration patterns eliminated the problem. So I ate crow for awhile with my guys.

How about running a vert up fluxcore spray transfer on 1/2" plate for the first time while not being given enough time to prep the joint clean the paint or even get roughly comfortable to get a good looking weld. That thing looked like crap. Bubble gum welds with a side of pigeon crap.

What Is HIV?
"HIV" stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. To understand what that means, let's break it down:
- H – Human – This particular virus can only infect human beings.
- I – Immunodeficiency – HIV weakens your immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. A "deficient" immune system can't protect you.
- V – Virus – A virus can only reproduce itself by taking over a cell in the body of its host.
HIV is a lot like other viruses, including those that cause the "flu" or the common cold. But there is an important difference – over time, your immune system can clear most viruses out of your body. That isn't the case with HIV – the human immune system can't seem to get rid of it. That means that once you have HIV, you have it for life.
We know that HIV can hide for long periods of time in the cells of your body and that it attacks a key part of your immune system – your T-cells or CD4 cells. Your body has to have these cells to fight infections and disease, but HIV invades them, uses them to make more copies of itself, and then destroys them.
Over time, HIV can destroy so many of your CD4 cells that your body can't fight infections and diseases anymore. When that happens, HIV infection can lead to AIDS, the final stage of HIV infection.
However, not everyone who has HIV progresses to AIDS. With proper treatment, called "antiretroviral therapy" (ART), you can keep the level of HIV virus in your body low. ART is the use of HIV medicines to fight HIV infection. It involves taking a combination of HIV medicines every day. These HIV medicines can control the virus so that you can live a longer, healthier life and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others. Before the introduction of ART in the mid-1990s, people with HIV could progress to AIDS in just a few years. Today, a person who is diagnosed with HIV and treated before the disease is far advanced can have a nearly normal life expectancy.
No safe and effective cure for HIV currently exists, but scientists are working hard to find one, and remain hopeful.
What Is AIDS?
"AIDS" stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. To understand what that means, let's break it down:
- A – Acquired – AIDS is not something you inherit from your parents. You acquire AIDS after birth.
- I – Immuno – Your body's immune system includes all the organs and cells that work to fight off infection or disease.
- D – Deficiency – You get AIDS when your immune system is "deficient," or isn't working the way it should.
- S – Syndrome – A syndrome is a collection of symptoms and signs of disease. AIDS is a syndrome, rather than a single disease, because it is a complex illness with a wide range of complications and symptoms.
As noted above, AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, and not everyone who has HIV advances to this stage. People at this stage of HIV disease have badly damaged immune systems, which put them at risk for opportunistic infections (OIs).
You are considered to have progressed to AIDS if you have one or more specific OIs, certain cancers, or a very low number of CD4 cells. If you have AIDS, you will need medical intervention and treatment to prevent death.
For more information, see CDC's HIV/AIDS Basics.
What Should I Do if I Think I Have HIV?
The only way to know for sure if you have HIV is to get tested. Testing is relatively simple. You can get an HIV test from your doctor or healthcare provider, community health center, Veteran's health center, Title X family planning clinic, and other locations. There also are FDA-approved HIV home test kits you can use.
One of the easiest ways to find an HIV testing location is to use the HIV Testing & Care Services Locator. Just type in your ZIP code and, within seconds, you will get a list of HIV testing sites near you—including those that offer free HIV testing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all people with HIV get AIDS?
No. Being diagnosed with HIV does NOT mean a person will also be diagnosed with AIDS. Healthcare professionals diagnose AIDS only when people with HIV disease begin to get severe opportunistic infections or their CD4 counts fall below a certain level. With proper treatment, you can keep the level of HIV virus in your body low. This will prevent HIV from advancing to AIDS and reduce the chances that you will transmit the virus to your sexual partners.
Is there a cure for HIV?
For most people, the answer is no. Most reports of a cure involve HIV-infected people who needed treatment for a cancer that would have killed them otherwise. But these treatments are very risky, even life-threatening, and are used only when the HIV-infected people would have died without them. Antiretroviral therapy (ART), however, can dramatically prolong the lives of many people infected with HIV and lower their chance of infecting others. It is important that people get tested for HIV and know that they are infected early so that medical care and treatment have the greatest effect.
