Set in Lorain, Ohio, in 1941, The Bluest Eye is something of an ensemble piece. The point of view is passed like a baton from one character to the next, with Morrison's own voice functioning as a kind of gold standard throughout. The focus, though, is on an 11-year-old black girl named Pecola Breedlove, whose entire family has been given a cosmetic cross to bear:
You looked at them and wondered why they were so ugly; you looked closely and could not find the source. Then you realized that it came from conviction, their conviction. It was as though some mysterious all-knowing master had given each one a cloak of ugliness to wear, and they had each accepted it without question.... And they took the ugliness in their hands, threw it as a mantle over them, and went about the world with it.There are far uglier things in the world than, well, ugliness, and poor Pecola is subjected to most of them. She's spat upon, ridiculed, and ultimately raped and impregnated by her own father. No wonder she yearns to be the very opposite of what she is--yearns, in other words, to be a white child, possessed of the blondest hair and the bluest eye.
This vein of self-hatred is exactly what keeps Morrison's novel from devolving into a cut-and-dried scenario of victimization. She may in fact pin too much of the blame on the beauty myth: "Along with the idea of romantic love, she was introduced to another--physical beauty. Probably the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought. Both originated in envy, thrived in insecurity, and ended in disillusion." Yet the destructive power of these ideas is essentially colorblind, which gives The Bluest Eye the sort of universal reach that Morrison's imitators can only dream of. And that, combined with the novel's modulated pathos and musical, fine-grained language, makes for not merely a sophisticated debut but a permanent one. --James Marcus --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Bluest Eye tell the story of the Breedloves, a poor black family living in Lorain, Ohio in the early 1940s. Each chapter tells something different -- the journey of the dad, Cholly, from curious young boy to a drunk and unloving father; the history of the mother, Pauline, and her dreams of movie stars and romance; and the childhood of the children, Sammy and Pecola, and how they deal with life as they've been given. Full of hardships and unfairness, the Breedloves have been through tough times most of their lives. And young Pecola's wishes of blue eyes and blonde hair in order to be loved and respected by others is a testament to the unjust world they lived in.
My fear is that this review won't do the book justice. There is so much written here that left me with feelings of sadness and horror, but also of hope -- hope that our world now has moved on from the racism of the past and will eventually surpass it. The Bluest Eye is highly moving and sensitive, and written in an addictive easy and lyrical style. I may have missed an important part of the book, any underlying symbolism or meaning that Toni Morrison was trying to convey -- I don't know. All I do know is The Bluest Eye is a darn good story, and I'm extremely glad I read it.
It's a very sad and hauting story of the destruction of a little black girls spirit and soul. She longed to have blue eyes or anything that would bring about love and attention that she so desperately wanted. Yet society and even her mother could not love her unless she had these "Blue Eyes".
The theme of this book touches on so many social issues. From self loathing and hatred of being born black in a white world to the effects of child abuse from both parents. Many people may not aggree with me that the mother also abused her child, but she did. She allowed herself to become so wrapped up with taking care of a little blue eyed child that she has nothing left for her own family when she comes home. Her words are always harsh and scolding to Pecola. Never soothing and loving. She has left her poor Pecola to fend against the world for herself. And when Pecola needs her mother's help the most it's not there.
I think every mother should read this book. Step away from the characters and see the destruction of a child from lack of love and acceptance. You will remember Pecola's journey forever!
People say "Oh, it's a powerful story about racism and false ideas of beauty etc." But IMO, there are so many BETTER stories about those themes that DON'T make me want to scrub my eyeballs after reading them. For example, "The Skin I'm In" - that book is about a black girl teased and bullied by her classmates (also black) just because her skin is darker than theirs. Like "The Bluest Eye," "The Skin I'm In" shows how black kids living in poverty in a white society can develop a self-loathing feeling that whiter is prettier - but unlike this book, that one has an admirable protagonist who's able to rise above adversity, and has a sense of hope. Or "Push" by Sapphire (the book that the movie "Precious" was based on) - that protagonist, like Pecola, was raped and impregnated by her father and had a hateful mother and a horrible life, but then had the opportunity for education, which gave her strength and self-worth. It's an inspiring and uplifting book, despite the protagonlist's grim life. Or how about "The Color Purple"? I could go on and on.
The difference between those books and "The Bluest Eye" is that those books all have hope in them, whereas "The Bluest Eye" is unrelentingly grim and horrible with no hope at all. Why would I want to read a book like that?Read more ›

The invention generally relates to an alkali metal containing, low antimonial content lead alloy having utility as an electric storage battery grid as well as for in use in acidic environments such as sulfuric acid. The alloy constitues an improvement to prior low antimonial alloys from the standpoints of improvements to ductility and acidic corrosion resistance in the as-cast state and improvement to ductility, electrochemical corrosion and gassing when in the form of a battery grid.
Antimonial grid alloys for use in automotive batteries have, in recent years, exhibited a trend toward the use of lower antimony contents. Antimony is primarily added to impart strength to the alloys to facilitate handling upon casting of the grid and during pasting operations. Today, grids only 50 mils thick are being cast and antimony levels have dropped from the historical 11% to as low as 2% to 2.5%. A direct consequence of this development has been a remarkable improvement in the overall performance of the lead acid battery including significant reduction in water loss.
A number of patents, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,801,310; 3,879,217; 3,912,537; 3,990,893; and 3,993,480 have described the use of low antimony levels in alloys designed for battery grid production. These patents recognize the desirability of a low antimony lead alloy; however, the softness and lack of castability due to the low antimony content has heretofore been compensated for by the addition of other elements such as selenium and silver, to improve these properties. U.S. Pat. No. 3,993,480 describes an alloy containing 0.5 to 3.5% antimony with quantities of arsenic, tin, silver, copper, selenium and sulfur. U.S. Pat. No. 3,801,310, for example, describes an alloy containing 1 to 3.5% antimony and additional quantities of arsenic, tin, selenium and silver. In addition, copending Application Ser. No. 840,830, filed Oct. 11, 1977, by Ranna K. Hebbar, M. Vikram Rao, and George S. Foerster also deals with a low antimonial lead battery grid alloy. None of the above mentioned patents or application discusses alkali metal additions to the grid alloy.
On the other hand, sodium and lithium have been added to certain lead and lead-antimony alloys for purposes of deoxidation or for other reasons not related to properties normally associated with battery grid alloys. Such patents include U.S. Pat. Nos. 293,886; 438,116; 782,401; 1,269,000; 2,138,614; British Pat. Nos. 566,579 and 582,009; and Japanese Pat. No. 2500863.
In accordance with this invention, it has been discovered that the addition of an alkali metal or admixtures thereof in amounts ranging from about 0.001% to 0.05% to low antimonial lead alloys leads to significant improvements in ductility and acid corrosion resistance in the as-cast state and in ductility, electrochemical corrosion resistance and resistance to gassing when utilized as a grid for lead acid batteries. Typical alkali metals include lithium, sodium, and potassium. In particular, the invention may be advantageously employed in connection with maintenance-free batteries.
The lead alloy of the invention generally comprises from 0.5% to 3.0% antimony, from 0.01% to 0.7% arsenic, from 0.001% to 0.7% tin, from 0.001% to 0.15% copper, from 0.001% to 0.015% sulfur or from 0.001% to 0.05% selenium or admixtures thereof, from 0.001% to 0.05% of an alkali metal or admixtures thereof, balance lead. For reasons that will become apparent in a later portion of the description of the invention, it is a preferred embodiment of the invention to maintain the compositional ranges of the alloy from 1.2% to 2.2% antimony, from 0.05% to 0.30% arsenic, from 0.05% to 0.3% tin, from 0.02% to 0.09% copper, from 0.002% to 0.01% sulfur or 0.015% to 0.025% selenium or admixtures thereof, from 0.003% to 0.01% of an alkali metal or admixtures thereof, balance essentially lead.
The principal characteristics required for an alloy used for battery cell grids are mechanical strength, castability, corrosion resistance, and low gassing. The grid should be ductile and capable of withstanding handling and the stresses encountered during pasting. The alloy should be easily castable as represented by high casting rates and low reject percentages. Resistance to corrosion in service is also a requisite. Low gassing rates are important because little or no water addition is made during the guaranteed lifetime of the battery. These properties are achieved in the alloy of this invention by the proper selection of the alloy constituents and the amount included in the alloy.
Strengthening or hardening of high antimonial lead alloys is obtained by a dispersion of the eutectic (antimony rich) phase. The quantity of such phase decreases with decreasing antimony content. For example, a 4% Sb alloy will have approximately 15% eutectic material, whereas 3% and 2% Sb alloys, respectively, have only 11% and 5%. Thus, the lower Sb alloys do not contain sufficient amounts of eutectic material to strengthen them adequately.
Low antimony lead alloys, therefore, must be additionally hardened by the process of particulate strengthening which involves creating a dispersion of hard particles throughout the matrix to impede the progress of the deformation front. The particles can be produced either during the solidification process (dispersion hardening) in which case the particles are relatively large and provide their hardening action immediately in the as-cast stage, or upon precipitation (precipitation hardening). This latter procedure is described as an aging mechanism because the particles precipitate out of the solid phase over a period of time. The degree of precipitation hardening is a function of time after casting. The exact nature of this aging behavior is dependent upon alloy composition. In the alloy of this invention, arsenic produces dispersion hardening and antimony contributes to precipitation hardening.
The loss of water in a battery during normal use is an important parameter to be considered in the development of improved acid storage battery systems for maintenance-free applications. Total water loss in a battery can be attributed to two major factors, i.e., evaporation and electrolysis. The evaporative component is a function of temperature, time, humidity of the environment and battery case and vent designs. The electrolytic component (the dissociation of water due to electrolysis) is a function of the grid alloy, temperature, total miles driven and driving pattern. The present invention is concerned with the water loss due to electrolysis (known as "gassing").
The phenomenon of gassing occurs when a battery is on charge thus causing the antimony present in the positive plates to leach into the electrolyte and be transferred through the separators to the negative plates. The electrochemical nature of the antimonial ion facilitates its deposition on the negative plates. The presence of antimony on the negative plates increases the propensity for hydrogen gas evolution. The gas is evolved by the dissociation of water molecules present in the electrolyte, resulting in a net water loss.
Antimony should be maintained in amounts ranging from about 0.5% to 3.0% to achieve a desirable balance between as-cast hardness and gassing rate in combination with the other elements, particularly the alkali metal, of the inventive alloy. It is preferred to maintain antimony between about 1.2% to 2.2% to further optimize the above discussed balance of properties.
Arsenic contributes to hardening or strengthening of the alloy and is included in amounts ranging from about 0.01% to 0.7. It is preferred to limit arsenic contents to from about 0.05% to 0.30% as hardness increases above about 0.30% are rather low and water loss increases with increasing arsenic content in batteries produced using the alloy.
Tin is included in the alloy of the invention for purposes of improving castability due to its beneficial influence upon fluidity. Amounts of from about 0.001% to 0.7% tin are considered to result in adequate castability. Tin in amounts from about 0.05% to 0.3% are typically used as such amounts are sufficient to enhance castability in combination with the other alloying elements.
Sulfur and copper may be added to the alloy for the purpose of grain refinement. Sulfur is believed to promote grain refinement because of the formation of lead sulfide nuclei at the onset of solidification. Copper is believed to provide supportive action due to modification of the solubility of sulfur and therefore affecting the instant at which nuclei are initiated. In the absence of such nuclei, freezing of the alloy will first occur on the cool walls of the mold, and produce a columnar structure. Columnar structure is not desired because it leads to poor castability due to poor metal flow to those portions of the casting mold last to freeze and to non-uniform distribution of antimony, which in turn contributes to increased gassing rates. Proper selection of the grain refining material and the amount used is very important since formation of the nucleating particles too early or too late in the solidification process renders them ineffective. Selection of the grain refiners and the amount used is particularly critical when casting extremely thin battery grids such as those with 28 mil wires. To achieve the above described function sulfur should be included in amounts ranging from about 0.001% to 0.015% and copper from about 0.001% to 0.15%. It is preferred to maintain sulfur from about 0.002% to 0.01% and copper from about 0.02% to 0.09%.
Selenium also serves as a grain refining agent through the formation of lead selenide and thereby serves to enhance castability. Selenium, unlike sulfur, is sufficiently soluble in lead so that concurrent copper additions are not required to enhance effectiveness. This element must be included in the alloy in amounts ranging from about 0.001% to 0.05%, preferably from about 0.015% to 0.025%. It is also within the scope of the invention to include both sulfur (with copper) and selenium in respective amounts effective to result in adequate grain refinement in the alloy of the invention.
It has been discovered that the addition of small quantities, 0.001% to 0.05%, of an alkali metal such as lithium, sodium, potassium, or admixtures thereof in combination with the abovementioned alloying elements substantially reduces gassing to a value considerably below that of the same grid alloy without the alkali metal addition. It is preferred to include alkali metals in amounts ranging from about 0.003% to 0.01% where the alloy is to be used as a battery grid. The upper limit has been found to be adequate for attaining desirable grid properties while the lower limit further ensures the attainment of the properties of the invention. In as much as alkali metals contribute to corrosion resistance improvement in acidic environment, no such upper limit is recommended for non grid applications. Sodium constitutes the preferred alloying element due to its availability and cost. Furthermore, electrochemical corrosion rates during the operation of storage batteries containing grids made of the alloy are significantly lowered when alkali metal additions within the above range are made. Both of these desirable improvements are believed to be related to the adsorbtion of alkali metal atoms onto the freezing interface, thereby causing the segregation of antimony and arsenic to become less pronounced in the resultant casting. A reduction in the concentration of antimony and arsenic rich pockets would be beneficial to corrosion properties because such pockets are more susceptible to corrosive attack and leaching than less rich locations. The reduction of leaching is also believed to be associated with a reduction in gassing. Evidence relating to the reduction of segregation is manifested on both a macro and microscale. Alkali metal additions to antimonial lead alloys dramatically alters the freezing pattern in such a manner that the strong influence upon segregation on a macroscale can be visually observed. For example, it has been noted experimentally that alkali metal additions to lead -- 3% antimony alloys changed the morphology from cellular dendritic to cellular. The addition of arsenic, tin, copper, sulfur, and selenium appears to cause a sufficient interaction to mask the macroscopic effect. However, in such case, the improvement in antimony segregation pattern can be clearly observed on a microscale with use of an electron probe micro analyzer.
An additional unexpected result that has been noted is that the alloys of the invention are more ductile, and therefore, less susceptible to brittleness after prolonged storage, than are alloys without the addition of alkali metal within the above described ranges.
The alloy of the invention, in the as-cast metallurgical state, exhibits good tensile ductility and resistance to sulfuric acid attack. These properties are improved by the alkali metal addition. For example, a maximum weight loss of about 7.0�10-3gm/cm2 according to the testing procedure described in Example 5 is to be expected when alkali metal additions in accordance with the invention are made.
Battery grids made from the alloy of the invention exhibit improvement in ductility, electrochemical corrosion, gassing, and grid growth when contrasted to battery grids made from the same alloy composition that do not contain the alkali metal addition. For example, the alloys of the invention when cast into battery grids exhibit superior bend ductility as shown in Example 1, an electrochemical corrosion resistance of a maximum of about 0.3% per day as shown in Example 4, a maximum gassing rate at 80� F. of about 0.05 cc/min./cell as shown in Example 3, and a maximum grid growth (a property related to both corrosion and creep) of about 0.02% per day as shown in Example 4. Such combination of properties is representative of an extremely desirable product from both a commercial and technical standpoint.
The following examples serve to further illustrate the invention.
Battery grids were cast with a lead alloy having the composition 2.05% Sb, 0.27% As, 0.31% Sn, 0.06% Cu, 0.003% S. The grids were subjected to tests to measure ductility. The ductility tests comprised simply rolling up the grid to an approximate inside diameter of 1/2 inch, unrolling the grid, and rerolling the grid. The improvement in ductility was measured as a function of reduced incidence of breakage, both in the as-cast state and also following passage of seven and fourteen days. Metallic Na was added to the melt and grids were cast, resulting in a residual Na content of 0.005%. The cast grids were subjected to the ductility tests as before and the grids containing Na were found to be more ductile than the others at all conditions.
The grids of Example 1 were pasted and constructed into 11 plate test battery cells. These were then subjected to electrochemical tests resulting in the generation of Tafel curves. The curves were then analyzed to deduce gassing rates. Table 1 describes the results and it is clearly observed that the gassing of cells constructed with grids containing Na is approximately 28% less than of those made with the alloy without Na.
A lead alloy containing 1.8% Sb, 0.21% As, 0.25% Sn, 0.05% Cu and 0.004% S was cast into grids. The run was then repeated following the addition of metallic Na, resulting in a residual Na content of 0.007% in the cast grids. Test cells were constructed as in Example 2, and the gassing results are shown in Table 1. It may be observed that the gassing in the alloy containing Na is about 22% less than that in the alloy without Na.
The cast grids of Example 3 were pasted and constructed into five plate test battery cells. About 50 ppm chloride ions were added to the electrolyte and the temperature was raised to 160� F. to accelerate corrosion. The cells were subjected to 75 mV positive over potential. The cells were periodically removed and the weight loss and grid dimensions were measured. The results are shown in Table 2. The cells with grids containing Na have substantially lower corrosive weight loss and also lower grid growth characteristics.
A lead alloy containing 2.75% Sb and 0.25% Sn was cast into discs. The discs were machined and subjected to static corrosion testing at 160� F. in sulfuric acid of specific gravity 1.280. At the end of the testing, the discs were washed to remove corrosion products and the weight loss noted. The entire experiment was repeated following the addition of 0.01, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15% Na. The results reported in Table 3 demonstrate the beneficial influence of Na additions.

Just wanted to update my review for anyone still fetching for info. Since my last update, I've ordered 2 more bottles. The last bottle, I did what the instructions on Beardilzer's website advised, which is 9 capsules a day (3 morn/3 lunch/ 3 dinner) for 10 days straight. That is for intensive care purposes to see the best results. Remember, you sort of need some type of facial hair to begin with in order to really see results. If you haven't been able to grow ANY facial hair (before this treatment), then this product will probably not work for you.
When doing the 10 day treatment, I really didn't notice a drastic change. Maybe just a little more hair sprouting in my cheek/neck area, but my overall beard was still somewhat spotty. Naturally, once I completed the 10 day treatment, I ran out of vitamins (there's 90 all together). I took a break for about a month and just recently ordered ANOTHER bottle, where I will now only do 3 a day. I haven't experienced any head symptons like in the past and I'm guessing at this point that I'm ONLY buying it bc subconsciously I'm thinking that if I stopped, I won't see any results. Since I've seen SLIGHT improvement,(I'm using this product along w/ a beard oil) I suppose Beardilizer will be included every now and then. But I definitely don't plan on going broke by re-upping every time I run out when the results aren't adding up.
So I re-ordered these supplements after the first go around. My plan this time is to take them AS instructed... which is 9 pills a day! Beardilizer claims that this is for "intensive care" purposes.Read more ›
Thanks for nothing dad!
1. These pills have 1/3 the amount of the ingredients that Vitabeard does. Look at the supplement facts: these have the same amounts in 3 pills as Vitabeard does in 1 pill - that's only ⅓. The pills are large though, so I don't know if it's a typo on the bottle or if it's a complete lie about what is actually in the pills. Either way, it's really sketchy.
2. The Beardilizer pills smell really strong, much worse than Vitabeard. I can barely stomach these down without gagging. They stink up the entire kitchen when I open the bottle and you can taste them for hours afterward.
3. VitaBeard works, I know this because I've been using it. I've tried Beardilizer for a few weeks now, and it just doesn't work the same.
In short, Beardilizer is probably a "snake oil" scam. It doesn't work, it smells horrible, and the label is really fishy.

King "stuck [her] foot in door" at Alon's before moving to the Occidental Grand Hotel (now the Four Seasons), opening Canoe (where she met Gerry Klaskala) and the now-defunct Hedgerose Heights before finally joining Klaskala again at Aria, where she's been blowing the doors off the dessert course for four years.
Creative Loafing: I know you do a legendary warm chocolate cheesecake, but you are a genius with fruit desserts. Explain the love affair.
King: I used to be afraid of it, I didn't know what to do with fruit. I could pick up chocolate, nougat, caramel or nuts and ideas would fly at me. But then I discovered sustainable fruit -- fresh fruit locally grown in-season. Last winter, I picked and ate tangerines right off the trees in Florida. They were incredible. I brought back a crate and made a panna cotta with tangerine sorbet. I'm trying to bring out the flavor of fruit, to give a fruit focus to a dessert, not just a scattering of blueberries on a plate.
Any fruit you haven't been able to successfully conquer?
Persimmons. They're either too hard or too ripe. I don't understand them; they sometimes rot before they ripen.
Why do so many restaurants try to get by without a pastry chef?
There are only so many managerial jobs in a restaurant and most chefs have to decide whether to hire a sous chef or a pastry chef -- you can only have two salaries in the kitchen. In my case, I'm both. Also, dessert is often an afterthought.
Is anything banned in your kitchen?
White chocolate. Yuck. It's too sweet and technically it's not chocolate. I have never liked it.
What dessert is totally played out?
Créme brûlee. It's the Chardonnay of desserts and people know what they are getting. Sometimes, though, you have to give people what they want.
Does a dessert's popularity skew by age? Gender?
I notice older couples order pound cake or cobbler more often, like they are ordering a memory. Twentysomethings often order something they have read about.
What's your favorite sweet to eat?
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They are salty and sweet ... perfect.
What do you want your epitaph to say?
Klaskala pipes in: "How sweet it was."

It is very frustrating when Boro can take a top team apart or hold their own one week then lose to an inferior team the next. But when it comes down to this inconsistency it is down to the players during the 90 or so minutes.

When you invest your income, it's always something of a chance. You will never know whenever the market is most likely to rise and fall and also, with it, your hard earned money. Using traditional IRA accounts, you are in position to suffer a loss of almost everything in case the stock exchange fails once more like it did through the more recent depression. For that reason, individuals are trying to find various ways to invest their funds that may be safer for them to enable them to continue to invest their money until their own the age of retirement.
Some people are considering IRAs based on precious metals rather than the stock market. Silver and gold are actually commonly used for various gadgets, therefore the worth continues to rise. Precious metals are not just useful for necklaces, they're also found in electronic devices every day, thus they can be something that's required for many different gadgets. This situation helps it be a substantially more reliable investment, as it is predicted to continue to go up for countless years. To do this, you're going to need to convert ira to gold or perhaps silver. This is usually done by working with an IRA company who specializes in gold or silver IRAs.
If you're thinking about accomplishing this, you are going to desire to choose a company that will do a gold ira rollover or perhaps a silver ira rollover on your behalf. Take the time to find the right business for you personally, since there are many different businesses available today. Ensure they've actually been in business for a minimum of a couple of years so that you know they're not a fraud. Once you discover the business, they will help you to set up the account and then have every little thing transferred out of your primary account to one which is backed by silver and gold. They will aid you in getting pretty much everything set up plus they can easily explain how almost everything works for you. This way, you'll not have to worry about just about anything.
If you are thinking about getting started investing in gold or some other precious metals, you're going to need to find out far more at gold-ira-rollovers.org now. Presently there, you can discover much more about what a gold IRA is, how to get going with one, and even exactly what companies are recommended. In this way, you can discover everything you should know to be able to start today. Then you are able to sit back and watch your hard earned money grow year in year out and be confident you'll possess the money you need once you stop working.

Pentax Optio W80 camera plays tough card
Pentax has launched its latest waterproof camera promising to let you "go boldly where none have gone before."
Called the Optio W80, the update to the W60 will be more adventure-proof than ever, according to Pentax, and be waterproof, dustproof, coldproof, and now shockproof enough to withstand impact from a fall of more than 3 feet (1 metre), as it plays catch up to Olympus' successful tough series of cameras.
On the tough specs, the Pentax Optio W80's waterproof design withstands depths of up to 5 metres, letting you shoot photos and video for up to 2 hours underwater. On dry land, the rugged, shockproof design protects against drops of up to 1m. That coldproof badge means the camera can to be used in sub-freezing temperatures of 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius).
On the camera specs you get 12.1 megapixels, a 5x internal optical zoom (equivalent to 28-140mm), a slim body and a wide angle 28mm lens. There's also a 2.5-inch LCD screen and HD movie capture capabilities that record resolutions up to 1280 x 720 pixels at full-speed 30fps.
There is also fast face detection that sees up to 32 faces in 0.03 seconds, with smile capture and blink detection, for perfect portrait shots.
Available in cardinal red, azure blue and gunmetal grey, the Optio W80 will be available in July 2009 for $299.95 in the US with an expected UK price of around £170.

For the past two weeks in this space, I've taken a look at point guards and rookies with an eye on next year's fantasy drafts. This week, however, we'll do away with such categories and open up to the wider world; what follows are a few players who find themselves in various interesting situations heading into the final couple of weeks of the season.
(Player Rater ranking based on overall stats in parentheses)
Al Jefferson, PF/C, Utah Jazz (30): Jefferson's current ranking is a bit of a disappointment given that his average draft position (ADP) was 13.7 in ESPN.com fantasy leagues this season. It isn't like he's been horribly injured, either; he's missed just four of the 75 games the Jazz have played thus far. Of late, the Jazz are on a bit of a run, pushing the Los Angeles Lakers for the final playoff spot in the West weeks after it seemed like they might have faded from contention. Much of the credit goes to Jefferson, who is averaging 20.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 2.2 steals, and 55 percent shooting from the floor over their five-game winning streak.
The Jazz took a lot of heat from the basketball media for standing pat at the trade deadline in large part due to Jefferson's free-agent status. In this day and age, it's hard to imagine a guy being the best player on a team that makes the playoffs in a really strong Western Conference (assuming the Jazz get in) not receiving a max deal in free agency, but Jefferson's value is difficult to determine. In fantasy, we have no such problems. Heading into next season's fantasy drafts, Jefferson will have two forces working against each other in terms of his perceived value. He likely will find himself in a new basketball context, whether it's in Utah with different teammates or someplace entirely new; on the other hand, he'll be coming off a season in which he did not quite match what was expected of him statistically. For my part, I'll note that Jefferson doesn't turn 29 until the middle of next season. He's still pretty young, and given his ability to score in the post and his improving game as a passer, I'd happily snap him up in the second round of just about any league.
Danny Green, SG/SF, San Antonio Spurs (57): The Spurs have Danny Green locked up on a very reasonable contract through 2014-15, and he's a perfect fit in his role as a floor spacer/defensive specialist. His main skill -- as his game translates to fantasy stats -- is his ability to knock down a high volume of 3-pointers; he makes 2.3 per game, and well over half of his field goal attempts come from ideal spaces behind the arc created in the flow of the offense. Green is playing more minutes this season, but it isn't like he's actually a better player than he was last time around, and that's the issue making it tough to gauge his value heading into next season.
Green's current ranking of 57 points to him as a late fifth-round draft pick, but that seems really high for a guy with such a limited game. He went undrafted in many leagues this season, but the difference between then and now really comes down to an extra four or so minutes of playing time per night and a few more 3-pointers. The point is that Green is going to seem like a safe bet next season because his role is so well-defined, but he's actually extremely volatile. Should his minutes drop into the low 20s or his 3-point field goal percentage drop under 40, Green is going to end up not being able to crack the top 100 next season. Keep that in mind when you are drafting.
Isaiah Thomas, PG, Sacramento Kings (65): The Kings keep trying not to play Thomas, but end up getting stifled by the fact that he's one of their three best players. On most teams, a core of Thomas, Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins might feel more exciting than it does in this instance, but the dysfunction in Sacramento prevents me from feeling optimistic. Still, despite his really disappointing numbers prior to the All-Star break (in even more disappointing playing time), Thomas is averaging 18.2 points, 5.4 assists, 2.4 3s, 92 percent shooting from the line, and 50 percent shooting from the floor in 20 games since, and has managed, amazingly, to exceed his ADP by a healthy margin.
Unfortunately, I'm still uncertain what Thomas' role will be next season. He'll be with the Kings, who should be thrilled to have him locked into a team option next season for less than $1 million dollars. It doesn't look like the Kings will have better options, and normally I would say that Thomas' efficient, stellar offensive play since the All-Star break would guarantee him the job next season, but Thomas was great down the stretch last season, and the Kings started this year by playing him less than 20 minutes per game off the bench for an entire month. Ultimately, there may always be tension between his immense ability on offense and the fact that, at just 5-foot-9, he might be too small to hang with most NBA players defensively. I'd lean toward drafting him, but if he ends up in a bench role again, it's going to kill his value.
Jeff Green, SF/PF, Boston Celtics (87): Full disclosure: I'm a Celtics fan, so Jeff Green's game makes me lose all objectivity and reason. He's one of the most frustrating players I have ever watched, constantly flashing glimpses of an amazing all-around game and then disappearing so completely that sometimes it's hard to find him on the court even when he's playing. Still, he's proved that he's a viable player after last season's heart scare; it's worth remembering that he missed just six games total over his first three full seasons in the league.
In many ways, this has been the best season of Green's career. No, he's not playing huge minutes like he did in Oklahoma City, but his PER is a career high 14.71 due to a few factors. For one thing, he's getting to the line more often, and making 81 percent of his 3.2 attempts per game. He's also been something of a weapon from behind the 3-point line, knocking down a respectable 37 percent of his attempts. Add it all up, and he's scoring more points per minute than he ever has, and he's doing it with a career-high true shooting percentage. That combination is why he's managed to be a top-100 fantasy player this season, along with the fact that his all-around game means he's a positive in every category (even if some of those positives are quite small).
The Celtics have Green on a huge contract for three more seasons after this one, so he's probably not going anywhere, and if his minutes go up, he'll almost have no choice but to be a valuable fantasy player. Still, I don't seem him getting much better from here. At 6-foot-9, he's a putrid rebounder, and doesn't show any signs of ever being an elite shooter, either, and I can't stand the idea of drafting a guy in fantasy leagues just because he's halfway decent. There will be plenty of players with more upside than Green who will be drafted after him next season, and I wouldn't want to be the one who passes them up.

Rating: r - Profanity, Violence
Frequent television director David Von Ancken (Oz and The Shield) offers a thrilling meditation on the true nature of revenge with this post-Civil War era tale of a one man's quest to put his nemesis in the ground, and another man's struggle to survive at any cost. Deep in the snowy mountains of the American West, a lone man named Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) basks, lost in thought, in the warm glow of a small fire. When a shot suddenly rings out and a bullet whizzes just inches from his head, Gideon is suddenly pulled from his repose. His reaction is too slow, however, to save him from the impact of a second bullet fired immediately thereafter; a bullet that painfully lodges itself into the soft flesh of Gideon's tired shoulder. The man who fired these bullets is Colonel Morsman Carver (Liam Neeson), and Carver's goal is to hunt Gideon down like an animal and extract painful revenge for a past transgression that left Colonel Carver forever changed. From this point on, there will be no peace in either man's life as a harrowing game of kill-or-be-killed is played out against the backdrop of the awe-inspiring and deceptively treacherous wilderness where the unforgiving law of the land takes deadly precedence over the civility of modern society. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

According to the Crash Course Philosophy video today, George Berkeley summarized his empirical philosophy with the phrase "esse est percipi", to be is to be perceived. However, it feels somewhat incorrect to use infinitives this way. "Cogito ergo sum", I think, therefore I am, uses present singular. If "seeing is believing" were to be translated, it feels like it should use gerunds, although it could be converted to "to see is to believe", which sounds more awkward. So then, why infinitives in this case?
Sign up

The expression esse est percipi is grammatical. Notice that the gerund does not have a nominative form at all. If you want the corresponding nominative (or accusative when there is no preposition), you need to use infinitive.
The grammatical structure is the same as in giraffa est alta ("the giraffe is tall"). You are simply saying that something is something, and it does not really matter grammatically what these things are. The predicate is est and the subject can be esse just as well as giraffa.
If you want to say "seeing is believing", infinitives are a good choice again. You can say the same thing in English as "to see is to believe" — there might be a slight difference in nuance but the meaning is the same. I would suggest videre est credere. You can't really phrase this as concisely with any other structure.
On the other hand, cogito ergo sum is a very different kind of sentence. It has two clauses and the subject in both of them is the implicit ego.
Cogito ergo sum does not mean "seeing is believing". It in fact means "I think therefore I am." Decartes used it as a statement of epistemology: If he can think, if he can conjure up rational process, it follows that he must exist. It establishes the I.
In Latin, there is no nominative of the gerund. What that means is that you'll never see a gerund as the subject of the sentence. Instead, the infinitive is used. A case can actually be made that the infinitive functions as the nominative of the gerund. (It can't actually be the nominative, but essentially they're equivalent.)
Therefore, indeed esse est percipi is fully grammatical.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres right wing Drew Stafford likely will miss the opening game of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Thursday against the Boston Bruins.
Stafford still hasn't been cleared for full contact after sustaining a concussion four days ago. He proclaimed himself headache-free and practiced with the team Wednesday, but wore a non-contact yellow jersey.
"I want to make sure I'm 100 percent before I come back," he said.
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said center Tim Connolly (foot) "looks like a go," but forward Jochen Hecht (upper-body injury) is questionable for Game 1.
Hecht, who missed the final three games of the regular season, had his left pinkie wrapped when seen in the locker room.

How to match the colours on your monitor to your printer.
If you have ever designed a colour document on your computer and then printed it out on your inkjet or laser printer you may have noticed that the colours come out slightly different. This is partly to do with the fact that printing with ink on a piece of paper is a different process to creating colour on a computer monitor, but it is possible to calibrate your monitor so that the colours match up as closely as they can. This article gives you some tips on basic monitor colour calibration.

Use the better alternative to this extension! Waardering 1 van 5 sterren
This extension has been effectively abandoned by its author for almost 2 years, without significant updates. It is also not free software, so the code cannot be used elsewhere.
For this reason I have fully rewritten a dupe removal extension of my own, which is actually free software:
Remove Duplicate Messages (alternate)
It has seen more active development, has a richer feature set (which proerly includes the features of this extension) and for which issues can be opened on Mozdev's bugzilla and addressed within a reasonable amount of time.

This is a nice Greasemonkey script, not an extension Waardering 2 van 5 sterren
The extension works as claimed. However, it is basically a Greasemonkey script, coupled with a copy of some of the GM code to make it work independently. I do not see a reason why this kind of a GM script should become its own extension. Author is free to do as he pleases but I do not believe this should be supported by making this extension public.
Minor nits:
- Regular expression used to detect Hebrew should be more tersely and clearly constructed.
- A single letter should probably not suffice to RTL an entire paragraph or line; try an entire word, or at least a sequence of characters
- Poor coding style in various places, such as defining a function named '$', adding to the regexp prototype a method named 'loc', testing for 7 regexps instead of testing for their '|'ification, etc.
- If one uses an independent extension rather than a Greasemonkey script, why keep the images used as "data:/..." strings rather than as chrome files (or a single file)?
- Empty chrome/ directory and a content/ directory outside it
- Use of spaces and tab characters inconsistently

Today marks the first day of the annual Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. There will be almost 2,000 classic cars sold under the big tent over the next week for outrageous sums of money. The sale led classic car businessman McKeel Hagerty to come up with his top 10 list of new cars that should be hot future collectibles. We're not entirely sure on how he came up with the list, but he seems to have excluded the all-important exclusivity factor of some special trims. Check out Haggerty's list and one we whipped up in five minutes, and tell us what you think in the comments. Remember, even the most expensive new car we list probably costs less than most of those on the block at Barrett-Jackson, plus they come with a warranty.

Now his hometown newspaper, the Buffalo News, is endorsing Andrew Cuomo.From Buffalo News' 'Cuomo for Governor' endorsement: Two big problems: He doesn't have the temperamental balance to actually serve as governor. Anger, alone, won't cut it. Loose cannons — which is basically what 69 percent of voters in a new poll believe Paladino to be — don't succeed in leadership positions. What is more, even if he could succeed, he has ruled himself out as a fit candidate as governor. His despicable comments on gays and lesbians, alone, demonstrated that he cannot be entrusted with representing New Yorkers equitably. The racist and pornographic e-mails he sent suggest the same about minorities and women. Those are not trifles; they are threshold tests. Paladino flunked. Ouch! After giving Cuomo the nod, the paper goes on to list Paladino's paltry contributions to the state of New York just to be nice and everything — like getting rid of toll booths on the Niagara Thruway and "restoring old buildings." And by "restoring," do they mean making millions of dollars by selling property in the Buffalo area? Wow, what a great service! Advertisement Anyway, getting snubbed by his hometown paper (and the Post) in favor of Cuomo has got to sting just a little. And, thankfully, pretty soon we'll all forget who this buffoon is/was.

Both veterans and their widows made application. Approval was based on applicants' ability to provide for their own support; some applications for public assistance were disapproved due perhaps to the applicant's owning too much property or his wife having "considerable income." Loss of limbs and other injuries that resulted in an individual being unable to work were often cited as the grounds for approval.

text: I have searched for the last 45 minutes trying to find where I enter the keywords. There is no space for them on each page (only title tag & description). If i look in the module manager the "meta keywords editor" is not a link (so i can't go into it). This was disabled, I have enabled it hoping that would then allow me to go into it and enter my keywords (but it did not work). Have keywords become so irrelevant that I just wasted 2 hours using googles keyword tool? :) PLEASE HELP!!! Lou
