Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. II

Everything about Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II demands worship and solidifies Raekwon as one of history's best with a continuation that exceeds his original debut in every way imaginable.
Raekwon pays further homage to his late friend's memory by releasing a tour de force that honors both the legacies of Wu-Tang Clan and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.
All hotly (strangely this descriptor seems almost an understatement) anticipated albums should deliver so profoundly.
His timing, precision, and craftsmanship in regards to everything having to do with this project has been impeccable. It's not a classic. But it's damn close.
Fundamentally, though, the album is a wistful and occasionally melancholic one that is as consistently captivating in its lyrical content as it is wonderfully dark and eerily melodic in its composition and production.
I love it the same way I love looking at signatures in my yearbooks: as distant reminders of past friends and better times. Sure, this album is awesome, but the fact remains that this is a continuation of an old idea in lieu of a new one.
Only Built for Cuban Linx...Pt. 2 is top-to-bottom brilliant, and it's energy and emotion is too infectious not to inspire a dozen great hip-hop records to come.
It's the often perfect synthesis between lyrical content and production on OB4CLII that makes the album simply sublime.
Like Ghostface's modern classic, this album defies hip-hop's current atmosphere of youthful cockiness and aging complacency: instead, it's driven by the sometimes celebratory, sometimes traumatized sense of stubborn survival and perseverance, a veteran mindset that can no longer picture success without having to defend it.
The album drags at points; with 22 tracks and a 70-minute runtime, some of this material would have been better off on a mixtape. But that's a minor flaw in an otherwise superbly-executed gangster epic.
One can't fairly make the claim that "Pt. II" picks up right where the original left off, but this is the best Raekwon we've heard lyrically and musically in a long time, and barring a late entry this should be the best Wu-Tang related album of 2009.
Raekwon has not made a valid sequel to that classic--but he has quite validly added a couple hundred new bars to that performance.
This sequel may have little to do with the original, but if the title helps to point out this is the Shaolin poet's best work since 1995's Pt. 1, then so be it.
It doesn't reflect a lack of evolution, or even a regression, but rather the completion of a circle--and probably a landing pad, even as the world continues to whiz by.
Over the years, his raps grew less engrossing and his albums bombed atomically. But he's back on point with OB4CL2, sounding as fierce and focused as ever.
MojoIndelible, compulsive, flecked with genuine brillance throughout, it's as good as any of the acknowledged clasics from the Clan's '93-96 peak. [Nov 2009, p.95]
While the songs may lack the original's wild-eyed narrative, they still contain some of his most rewind-worthy bars in years.
Working almost like a glorified mixtape, many of the tracks bleed together or start mid-scene with field recordings of corner action. It adds to the feeling that you've dropped in on something important.

LennyM.Dec 7, 2009This album is pretty much "more of the same" trash. It's not the best Hip Hop album of 2009. Raekwon just tells somewhat deep stories This album is pretty much "more of the same" trash. It's not the best Hip Hop album of 2009. Raekwon just tells somewhat deep stories with okay lyricism. Clipse's Till The Casket Drops and Hell Hath No Fury are MUCH MUCH MUCH better Hip Hop albums. And before you boo me down for saying it's not, how about you ACTUALLY LISTEN to Till The Casket Drops AND Hell Hath No Fury before you come to a final decision. Till The Casket Drops, best Hip Hop album of 2009. Only Built for Cuban Linx Pt. 2, NOWHERE NEAR as deep and inventive as Hell Hath No Fury and Till The Casket Drops.… Full Review »

DALLAS (November 23, 2013) A major oil boom has pumped dollars into an endowment that supports the University of Texas and Texas A&M University, pushing it up to a record $14.8 billion.
In the fiscal year that ended in August, royalties from oil and gas pumped out of state land put $648 million in the Permanent University Fund.
Last year that total was $506 million, and in 2009 just $279 million.
UT System officials say combined with investment returns, the fund is up 9 percent over 2012 and 53 percent over 2009.
The UT System manages some 2.1 million acres of land in the state's oil-rich West Texas Permian basin.
New hydraulic fracturing technologies and techniques have helped drillers draw oil from once out-of-reach rock formations.

Mind-Body-Spirit Empowerment & Authenticity Coaching for Creating the Life of Your Dreams ~ Be Authentic. Love Who You Are. Listen to the Voice of Your Soul.
"Diana is an amazing coach. Her passion, authenticity, personality, unique style and extensive education make her an engaging person to work with. What Diana brings to the table goes beyond simple words; I can say that she will inspire you, challenge you, and help you walk away from any session with what you need to take that significant step forward. Diana Kottle is one of those amazing individuals that truly is changing the world. If you are on the fence about working with her I suggest you take a leap of faith and then follow your heart forward."
- David Anderson
"I came to Diana searching for a release of what was holding me back in my life, I was feeling really stuck yet ready to move on but also unsure how.
Diana helped me to quickly move forward and release my old stuff; her approach is quick and filled with humor. Unlike traditional therapy where the focus is on validating the person's story, tapping uses less talking, more feeling and quickly releasing and letting go of the pain.
I learned that there's an attachment to our stories and when we can let go and focus on shifting the emotions attached to the story we can move forward. I now understand how to help move myself through moments in which I feel stuck, to let go of attachment, we are not our stories.
There aren't enough words to describe my gratitude to Diana for not only helping me but also teaching me how to shift and let go. My thanks and appreciation to her runs deep, her insight and intuition are impeccable, she's a gift to anyone who is fortunate enough to work with her."
- Nahla Grafer
"I was going through a business slump and after one session with Diana I got the biggest financial contract of my entire career. If you have the opportunity to work with Diana in any capacity, take it!"
- Harlan Kilstein
"During this past year, I have had the divine fortune of being a client of Miss Diana Kottle's. My first session with Diana was transformative – elevating my mind and spirit out of darkness and despair.
I met Diana at a juncture where my life had become dismally disoriented. Everything came to a standstill; feelings of loss and solitude were overwhelming. I was distressed, depressed and all resemblance of self was hidden by doubt and anguish.
I was dismayed to find myself suffering with the fundamentals of life. For the majority of my adult years, I had consistently sought out wise counsel and healers weaving Eastern and Western healing traditions. I led a healthy lifestyle that was holistic in nature. Prayer was a vital part of my existence and yet, I felt blocked from accessing the divine within.
Not only did I feel the immense support of Diana but also clearly there was Universal support that became palatable. Diana's gentle spirit was evident as were her talents for helping others to overcome difficulties while reaching personal goals.
Diana is an exemplary teacher, professional practitioner and gifted healer who exudes Magical Charisma. Her authenticity and good-natured persona is truly the catalyst, which allows healing and love to triumph.
Regardless of a particular belief system, Diana's style and expertise is vast; her innate ability to meet a client -where they are - is Priceless.
I highly recommend Diana to anyone wishing to enhance or heal any aspect of his or her life. With each subsequent session, Diana has imparted valuable insights and wisdom while sharing tools and strategies for continued growth and healing."
In Gratitude,
- Donna Schmidt
"Diana has been an incredible help to me. I have struggled with severe suicidal depression for many years, as one of the major symptoms of chronic lyme disease, severe mercury poisoning, and mold illness.
Recently, one session with Diana turned around a month of deep emotional struggle for me in an instant. I was amazed at how fast it worked. I find her work extremely on-point for releasing emotional baggage quickly, with long-term results.
My sessions with her have added to my quality of life immensely, helping me feel lighter and happier on a daily basis, and freeing me up to work on other aspects of my health. I recommend her highly, for those ready to move through their core emotional issues, past traumas, and emotional blocks to access greater health on all levels."
- Julie Genser
"Diana has helped me to explore and breakthrough the limitations of traditional Psychotherapy and move into a much more expansive healing modality. SAFER Tapping™ has helped me personally, and my clients, to have life changing breakthroughs. It is simple and yet profound. Diana is smart, direct and devoted to understand health and healing."
- Melissa Lapides, MFT, MA
"Diana's personal life coaching has been life changing for me. I'm a much different person today, than I was a few months ago. The energy shift inside me has brought me back into my own power.
Huge shifts...Diana has helped me put my mind back in alignment of where I'm supposed to be and has helped me stand into my true self. She has taught me to cleanse all the old energy....and bring in this incredible vital energy; happy & grounded energy.
Our focus on The Kottle Code™, is where Diana helped me work on getting healthy - emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. She helped me understand how our thoughts affect our DNA and genetic expressions, and when you change on a cellular level it alters your brain neurochemistry. Pretty incredible stuff.
She's taught me how to use SAFER Tapping™ and the importance of reframing my mindset into positive thinking, and to visualize and trust my intuition. When I feel that I'm getting overwhelmed with things, I just start tapping to get my mind back in alignment and back into a relaxed state.
Diana has taught me how to focus and ask for the perfect words to form in my mind and to open myself up to accept what the universe is trying to tell me, to trust what I ask for, and have an open mind that I'll get.....and at the right time.
I've learned how to give the universe all the unmanageable things to carry for me and then ask to give back when I need it, but in manageable amounts.
Another huge thing Diana's taught me is by changing my patterns, and language, from negative into positive - that the universe will give me more!
The analogies she uses are so sensible and you can truly understand the point she's trying to get across to you. I'm so much more organized and focused these days and I'm definitely enjoying my life's journey to the fullest now! Thanks Diana for getting me back on track and for such a great experience!"
- Becky Estenssoro
"Before my SAFER tapping™ session with Diana Kottle, I had anxiety scripts running in my head almost 24/7. I had been in one miserable relationship after another. I finally figured out the common denominator was me and that it was related to some core beliefs I had that did not serve me - "I'm not important," "my needs aren't important'" and "I'm not supposed to be here." These beliefs were reflected back to me in every relationship I ever had because no one (not even your soul mate) can give you that which conflicts with your core beliefs. So this is why I came to Diana.
Not only did my anxiety scripts disappear after my SAFER tapping™ session, but many other things changed as well. I KNEW I was important, that my needs DID matter, and that I DEFINITELY AM supposed to be here. I was instantly able to communicate my needs to others clearly and easily. Instead of literally running away from conflict, climbing in bed, pulling the covers over my head and crying when there was conflict, I was able to EASILY lay down boundaries with people. It has been almost six months since my session with Diana and all these changes still hold true. My life is COMPLETELY different. I am now EMPOWERED instead of a doormat for the first time in my life. I cannot thank Diana enough!"
- Juliet Easton
"Working with Diana has been a real game changer for me. I've historically been very hard on myself. I've learned some other tapping techniques, which have been immensely helpful (that I still use), but what Diana's technique gave me was the ability to allow my true feelings and face them with love and compassion. I don't feel the need to run away from or get rid of these "negative" emotions like I used to. The desperation to "just be a better person" (read: perfectionism) is markedly improved and getting better every day.
I experience a deep and loving acceptance of myself with SAFER Tapping™. It's a very gentle technique, which really resonates with me. I've discovered that when I truly face my problems and allow the accompanying feelings, they naturally begin to melt away. Thank you, Diana!"
- Christin McLeod
"Diana is an excellent Life Coach and mentor. I went to her confused and nervous about some of my relationships feeling unsafe, and she helped me get grounded and in touch with my intuition. She led me through a quite powerful and fun heart-cleansing exercise. We also set up a comforting imaginary setting for me to "visit" whenever I like. We talked through the details of some relationship issues and big life changes I've been feeling anxiety about, and somehow our talk left me feeling legitimately grateful and almost even excited about those situations because Diana helped me switch my perspective to see them as opportunities to practice setting healthy boundaries – and see them as yardsticks that show how much progress I've already made in those areas. She helped me see more clearly what I specifically want in life and how optional it is to carry baggage or resistance along the way."
- Joce Allen
"I had a private tapping session with Diana Kottle where we changed/transformed the way I internally represented an old painful memory. Even though I know how awesome tapping works - and do it LOTS - I went looking for the memory we tapped on in our session and still couldn't find it...only the NEW reframed memory was there. Its a revelation for me every time this happens! I love this gift of tapping!!!"
- Suzanne Masters
"Diana is an extremely bright, insightful, and intuitive Life Coach. She is well trained in a number of different healing modalities, is very easy to talk with, and perhaps most importantly has done her own work. She will guide you along a healing path that she herself has already walked."
- Eric Robins
"Diana is an amazing coach and mentor. She will hold you accountable while also supporting you in a gentle way. Through my sessions with her, I have developed skills that I utilize every day and realize the true healing potential I carry with me at all times. Her SAFER tapping helps you get to the problem in a gentle yet effective manner and is a great choice for anyone that wants to make true changes and heal their life."
- Laura
"Diana Kottle has developed a unique and effective healing system for creating an inspired and successful life. Through The Kottle Code and SAFER Tapping, Diana has supported me in not only releasing the limiting beliefs which were keeping me stuck but also in creating a new and affirming belief system which supports and strengthens me to move forward in my life from a place of personal empowerment and inspired action.
Diana brings to the table the ability to immediately get to the heart of the matter and addressed my issues quickly and thoroughly, keeping me consistently moving toward what I wanted to create while effectively releasing the old story which had kept me stuck in the past. Diana helped me to quickly let go of the dis-empowering story I am telling myself and replace it with positive, affirming perspectives and beliefs which help me to make more supportive choices. Several times, in moments of feeling stressed or triggered I have heard Diana's voice in my head reminding me of the choice I have in that moment to make a decision that will move me into a place of ease and inspired action. She has been an integral part of my personal evolution around relationships and the ability for me to move confidently, gracefully and with gratitude out of my almost 25 year long marriage and into a new and purpose driven life.
Diana's extensive training as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as her personal dedication to working on herself using The Kottle Code and SAFER Tapping makes her an effective and highly skilled practitioner who is committed to empowering me to living the life I desire."
- Joanne Thompson
"Many thanks to Diana, who helped me so much with my divorce issue. I could grow from the state of 'I am a victim, poor abandoned and betrayed thing' to 'I am me and I can choose my life'. What a relief! I feel stronger and even physically taller (isn't it amazing!?) Two hours and so many changes..."
- Nathalie Thorez-Dens
"Diana is on my list of "Life Savers", she helped me to reframe beliefs, to utilize language to deal with internal and external issues, how to move forward in a positive manner. Since then I lost 40 pounds and my Rheumatoid Arthritis is not disabling me to do what I want in life in many different ways. Diana helped me to overcome fear and roadblocks and move on. The difference in how I felt before and after her sessions was substantial."
- Ksenia Lummis
"Diana Kottle was one of my graduate students at JFK University, and I would highly recommend her as a therapist, teacher or inspirational leader in the field of personal growth. Diana is thoughtful, sincere and has wisdom beyond her years."
- Steve Sardella
"Tapping changed my life, and I love how you are sharing this powerful tool with the world Diana. My experience in Diana's SAFER Tapping™ class was that she had a very effective way of really connecting with me and allowing me to safely explore my feelings in a way that allowed me to heal and release emotions. I want to thank Diana Kottle for all of the wisdom and insights that she shared with us and I really think that SAFER Tapping™ truly can make a difference in your life."
- Ron Coquia
"Being a seasoned tapper myself of EFT and FASTER EFT I really love SAFER Tapping™ and The Kottle Code™ as an integrative and holistic wellness model.This system is way more than tapping on your body. Diana has brought many parts of our "whole" being into SAFER Tapping™. Being grounded in the heart, allowing the space to "Feel" without guilt or shame, breathing, and letting it go in a simple easy form to follow. There is flow to allow me to BE a "Human and a BEing", and accept and love it all."
- Sharon Thompson
"I loved working with Diana, I found her to be compassionate yet no-nonsense at the same time. I did one tapping session with her and made the tapping a habit for quite a while. A lot of the problems or challenges I had seemed to become minimized or just faded away.
Just thinking about that process makes me want to get back into the tapping habit again!"
- Nick Yaksich
"Diana has personally coached me and tapped with me around my resistance around allowing my tears to flow and to being vulnerable. I am now able to go into the feeling more and have a great safe tool to move through it quickly. Just writing this public account is a testament to the shifts I have made!"

text: 000 FXUS65 KABQ 202359 AFDABQ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 559 PM MDT WED JUL 20 2016 .AVIATION... 00Z TAF CYCLE With the center of mid-level high pressure over OK, SCT to ISOLD showers and storms will continue to stream N and NEWD at 5 to 15 mph from the E slopes of the central MT chain westward. After midnight, mainly ISOLD convection will favor the central MT chain westward. The high pressure center is progged to migrate westward over NE NM by Thursday afternoon, shifting better moisture westward with it. Therefore, there should be a slight downtick in the coverage of showers and storms Thursday afternoon and evening with the best coverage over the western and northern mountains. High temperatures a few to 11 degrees above normal may lead to some density altitude concerns. 44 && .PREV DISCUSSION...255 PM MDT WED JUL 20 2016... .SYNOPSIS... A modest monsoon moisture plume will remain over western New Mexico through Thursday...where the best chances for showers and storms will exist. Friday and Saturday will be transition days with slightly decreased coverage of storms as the upper high to the east diminishes and high pressure aloft strengthens west of New Mexico. This shift in flow will set up eastern New Mexico for improved chances of showers and storms late in the weekend through the middle of next week...thanks in part to a backdoor front on Sunday. Temperatures will generally be at or above normal through the next seven days. && .DISCUSSION... The same basic setup as yesterday with the monsoon moisture plume oriented from S-SW to N-NE across Arizona and western New Mexico while the upper high remains centered over Oklahoma. The 12z KABQ upper air sounding revealed a 0.96" PWAT...which is still above normal although 0.07" down from 24hrs ago. Today`s crop of storms is looking very similar to yesterday`s so far. Best chances here in the ABQ metro will be between 4-9PM and generally associated with colliding thunderstorm outflow from the SW and SE-E. Rain amounts will be similar to yesterday as well...generally between 0.10-0.25" with spotty higher amounts to between 1.0-1.5". Thursday is looking similar overall to today...although PWATS are forecast to trend down a bit more...closer to average for the calendar day which may be enough to limit coverage of wetting rain relative to the past couple of days. Meanwhile across eastern New Mexico...well above normal temperatures will continue with Roswell hitting back above 100 degrees again after missing yesterday (and likely today). The upper high to the east is forecast to diminish while pressure heights increase across AZ/NM on Fri/Sat as the next dominant upper high center strengthens to our west. This change in flow will cut off the traditional monsoon moisture plume in favor of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico in the lower boundary layer and the potential for backdoor fronts to slide south and add moisture to the mix. The 12z model solutions differ on the exact position of the upper high from Sunday through Tuesday...although they all generally agree with a lack of moisture and sufficient subsidence to shut down northwest New Mexico from any rain chances. Rain chances elsewhere will largely depend on how far SW Sunday`s backdoor front penetrates...which will be aided by convective outflow. Both the 12z ECMWF and GFS agree on an uptick in storms Mon/Tue across central New Mexico as the upper high pulls back to the west a bit and centers over Nevada...allowing moisture to creep further west across our area. Temperatures will continue above normal through the weekend and likely through the middle of next week...although dependent on cloud cover and rain cooling during the active early week period. 11 && .FIRE WEATHER... Upper high center east of NM continues to circulate moisture over wrn and central NM. This pattern will slowly change through Friday and into the upcoming weekend as the upper high center drifts back to the west over NM and the ridge axis extends from west to east across the southern tier of the U.S. Therefore, the current tap of moisture will become reduced or cut off. While storms will be reduced in number and areal coverage, they will still be scattered over and near the higher terrain and there may be more of a mix of wet and dry storms by Friday. In the shorter term, scattered to numerous showers and storms with wetting rain remain anticipated for the west and central tonight and into Thursday. Storm motion tonight will be north to northeast around 10 to 20 mph but becomes more from southwest to northeast Thursday. The eastern plains should largely remain dry through Friday. The east will also be dominated by a lee trough, which will result in south to southwest breezes at times. Otherwise, strongest and more variable winds will be associated with thunderstorm outflows. A cold front remains forecast to sag into northeast NM Saturday, shifting the focus for thunderstorms to the north central and northeast Saturday afternoon and night. Depending on the areal coverage and location of storms, low level moisture could spurt through the central mt chain and into the RGV. This likely won`t be a steady process but intermittent, occurring more in the evenings and overnights into early next week, but it should help boost overnight recoveries. What`s more uncertain is how far westward of the RGV this moisture slosh may reach on a nightly basis. Models seem to suggest the dominant upper high center may end up over the Great Basin early next week, where it remains parked through the end of next week. This pattern will focus storms from southwest to northeast over the state, and allow occasional fronts to spark temporary upticks in storms, as well as continuing the low moisture slosh through the central mt chain, but doesn`t allow for a decent tap of monsoon moisture. Temperatures through early next week will overall be above average. There will be a few pockets of fair to poor vent rates Friday through Saturday southwest and northeast but more widespread fair to poor rates forecast Sunday through Tuesday between the RGV and Pecos Valley. && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$

Worker who set fire to submarine to be sentenced
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A shipyard worker who set fire to the USS Miami because he wanted to go home and ended up causing $450 million in damage is due to be sentenced.
Under a plea agreement, Casey James Fury faces a sentence of about 15 to 19 years today. He can withdraw his guilty pleas if a greater penalty is imposed for the fire that injured seven and caused extensive damage.
Fury, formerly of Portsmouth, N.H., admitted setting the May 23 fire while the nuclear submarine was in dry dock at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.
The Navy intends to repair the Los Angeles-class attack sub, which is based in Groton, Conn. But the repairs have been postponed for now because of the automatic federal budget cuts.

CLEVELAND - National City says it will raise $7 billion to help shore up its capital position.
Private equity firm Corsair Capital will provide $985 million. The remaining balance will come from other investors, including current institutional shareholders.
National City is also cutting its dividend to 1 cent per share from 21 cents per share to help strengthen its capital position.
The regional bank is raising money amid deterioration in the credit and mortgage markets that has plagued banks since the middle of 2007 and cut into capital positions.
The Cleveland-based bank says it lost $171 million, or 27 cents per share, during the first quarter. The bank earned $319 million, or 50 cents per share, during the year-ago period.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Senate began work this week on a new tax cut, prompted by expected state savings from a Medicaid expansion backed by federal funds.
Sen. Chris Widener, R-Springfield, one of two Republican lawmakers on the state Controlling Board who signed off on spending authority to accommodate the move, offered testimony before the Senate Finance Committee on legislation that would cut income-tax rates by another 4 percent across the board.
But one Democratic member of the Senate Finance Committee voiced reservations of the proposal, questioning whether funds should instead be directed into other services.
Sen. Joe Schiavoni of Boardman, D-33rd, asked Widener during his sponsor testimony, "If you're going to invest $404 million somewhere, shouldn't it be invested in something that you can see results with - early childhood education or back into the public schools so that we can give every student the opportunity to grow rather than just to give a little bit to everybody?"
For the complete story, read Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Just like a democrat, SPEND the "extra" money instead of returning it to the taxpayers. Shame on you, Joe.
Joe is your typical socialist liberturd who wants to give our money to people who really don't deserve it just so everyone is equal. . Joe, I'll remember this at election time.
Govt. rule #1 spend any left over money otherwise next year they'll reduce your budget.
Has anyone ever seen a decrease in government spending? God forbid it went to reduce the deficit/debt.

New Features Alert: Major Upgrades to Draft Screen
At FanDuel, we're always trying our best to optimize your user experience, and we're excited to announce a few improvements now featured on our draft screen.
First, there are now injury indicators. Haven't been able to check your regular list of blogs and sites to get all of the players news you need before drafting? No problem. Now, you'll have the luxury of a visual indicator that lets you know when a player is hurting, likely making him a poor draft choice.
Also, in addition to making the load speed on our draft screen faster, we are making it easier to pay with FDP (FanDuel Points), by giving you the FDP conversion rate under each contest's entry fee.
Another beneficial upgrade has come in the form of keeping drafted players on the available player list, for comparison purposes. Now, when you draft a player, if you end up wavering on your choice, you don't have to go through the hassle of removing the player from your roster in order to compare him to a potential replacement.
And finally, we have consolidated the contests you've entered, your entries, and your prizes all in one place. This will make it much easier to track your FanDuel activity and progress.
So, there you have it. A few big changes, and a little bit of general housekeeping. We hope you enjoy these new features, as we always want our site to be the best it can be. Feel free to send along feedback, and get psyched for football season!

An Anthology of Nineteenth-Century Women's Poetry from Spain
In English Translation, with Original Text
- Editor: Anna-Marie Aldaz
- Translators: Anna-Marie Aldaz, W. Robert Walker
- Pages: xl & 311 pp.
- Published: 2008
- ISBN: 9781603290289 (Paperback)
"This volume is a valuable resource not only for courses in Spanish and world literature but for the nonacademic reader as well. It is truly a treasure trove of significant but largely unknown texts, which, as a group, help us reconsider our notions about women's Spanish-language literary production in the nineteenth century and, indeed, about Spanish nineteenth-century literature in general."
"As a resource for the scholar, or simply for those of us interested in nineteenth-century women's literature, this anthology is, without doubt, of great value."
"The woman poet . . . must sing, just as birds fly and rivers flow," wrote Carolina Coronado in 1846. In Spain of that time, a group of women had begun to publish poetry. Their verse—Romantic, predominantly lyric, and often linked to liberal reform—was novel and controversial, because few women had ventured into print. The poets collected in this anthology asserted in different ways their imagination and literary voice.
Susan Kirkpatrick provides an overview of the period, and Anna-Marie Aldaz adds a discussion of Spanish versification as well as biographical sketches of the twenty-one poets whose works bring alive the first decades of women's emergence as a force in the Spanish literary world.

I can't figure out if this is possible, much less how to do it if it is.
I don't really care what technology is used to implement this, as long as it works in modern versions of Firefox and Chrome without plugins. I'd prefer it were kept to HTML and CSS, if possible.

NEMO: What are the different types of connectors used for displays that work with Apple computers, Guy?
GUY: Not too loaded a question, sheesh! Maybe I should get loaded first? No, no, that always leads to trouble. Back to your question. Early on, Apple didn't need to worry about monitors for Macs (or Mac-Like computers) since they were built-in to all their original models. I'm speaking of the LISA and the first 128K Mac to the Mac Plus. I didn't include the Mac SE in this list since the day it was introduced; Apple also came out with their first real expandable Mac, the Mac II.

Forgefiend w/ 2 hades autocannons & an ectoplasma cannon
Interesting and Brutal model .
love it, I think the dull colors look really awesome on this model, and it's done so well. also love the pink flesh, really good color for this
Is this the finished paint job? I hate to be a Negative Nate, but this one looks pretty bland opposed to other Forgefiend paint jobs I've seen.
VERY nice finish work!
Love the grungy metal and flesh look. Makes me miss my brushes...
That is extremely awesome!

|"The Dark Knight" opens July 18 in the U.S.
In preparing for the role of Batman, first in âBatman Beginsâ and now for this monthâs âThe Dark Knight,â actor Christian Bale was concerned with striking the right pitch for the character. âI met with [director] Chris [Nolan]. I had read Frank Millerâs âBatman: Year One,â I had read various other graphic novels,â Bale told CBR News. âFor the first time Iâd seen something interesting in Batman which Iâd never seen before, that was more the tone how I wished to portray him. I expressed that to Chris, he told me how he wanted to make the movie, it seemed very compatible and so he decided, yes, he would cast me for it,â he recalled.
Bale believes he has stuck the correct truthful tone with his performance. âI feel like weâve kind of gone back to its roots, when Iâve spoken with friends of Bob Kane, relatives, theyâve said, âNo, he meant this to be a very dark character.â He always viewed what Adam West did so well [positively], but he was spoofing Batman, he wasnât really playing Batman [in the 1960s television series].â
One aspect of the character that is toned down is Batmanâs borderline psychotic behavior. According to Bale, there is a powerful aspect of the character that keeps him in check. âBatman is having to maintain this discipline and a sense of order because he does have such a temptation for chaos, and for disruption and for violence, because he has this great shadow side born of the pain of the death of his parents, born for a need for revenge,â the actor explained. â[Bruce Wayneâs] creation of Batman has never been healthy for his own personal life.â
|Christian Bale stars in "The Dark Knight"
In âThe Dark Knight,â this is expressed as âthe one rule.â Bale continued, âHe has a great capability for violence and heâs given himself this one rule [of not killing] precisely because he can see how very easily he could cross that line. Because of his inherited altruism and philanthropy from his parents he does not wish to cross that line, but heâs always in conflict with himself about it.â
The rule is put to the test by the presence of the Joker. âThe Joker is the person who has managed to have him questioning his own ethics, more so than anybody up until now, and tempting him to break his own rule because he knows if he can break his own rule, he can possibly prevent the deaths of many of many other people,â Bale said. âIs it in that case selfish to hold on to his principles? Should he break his own principles for that? And there are some wonderful ethical questions that come up in âThe Dark Knight.ââ
Despite holding dangerous impulses in check, Batman is not above the application of force. In âThe Dark Knight,â one such scene features an interrogation between Batman and the Joker. âThat was our very first scene [performed] together,â Bale recalled. âIt was a great way to start because also we were afforded the luxury for some part of that scene for being completely alone inside of that room with the cameras outside, with just mirrors surrounding us so that the two of us [were] able to be eyeballing each other and then any way we looked we would just see reflections of two freaks sitting at the table together.â
|Scenes from "The Dark Knight"
Bale was impressed with seeing Heath Ledgerâs performance. âI was able to see for the first time how Heath was playing the Joker and in seeing Heathâs commitment,â Bale remembered. âHeath, man, he received some heavy bangs and bruises from that scene and he loved every second of it. He just adored it. He was egging me on for more. The walls were buckling in from doing that scene.â
Director Christopher Nolan encouraged the actors to hit their limits. Bale, now a three-time veteran of Nolan productions (the two Batman films and âThe Prestigeâ) continues to be a great admirer of the directorâs process. âI clearly have a great trust in his abilities and that he is going to be making a very smart and engaging movie,â he said. Baleâs admiration of Nolan is not blind, however. âIt never stops me from questioning him, because everybody should have people questioning them around, nobody benefits from having yes-men around the place, but Iâve yet to come up with a question that he hasnât considered before Iâve asked it.â
Bale also hopes that trust is mutual. âHe does know that Iâm the kind of actor that can arrive, and without him having to tell me anything, I will have my own opinion about how a scene should be shot and I will present it to him. And then the collaboration begins of him telling me, âWhat the hell was that? What are you doing? Youâre missing the pointâ Or, âBang on! That was it. We got it, and weâre moving on.â So I hope that he has the same trust in me that I do in him,â Bale said.
|Scenes from "The Dark Knight"
That amount of trust allows Bale fun with the role; standing about Chicago, for instance. âHow often am I going to get a chance to stand on the ledge of the Sears Tower, at a 110 stories down as Batman? Itâs unlikely thatâs going to happen again.â Of course, Bale was harnessed securely to the building. âI donât exactly consider it a stunt, it was an experience,â he said.
As for a third Batman film, the actor suggests he would be willing, but sees a great challenge set before them. âThere have been a number of sequels that have surpassed the first movie. You look at âGodfather Part IIâ and âEmpire Strikes Back,ââ Bale said. âIn my personal opinion, [âThe Dark Knightâ] passed the first [film.] Thereâs not been many times where the third in a trilogy has managed to be the best, and I see that as a good enough reason to want to tackle it.
One aspect a potential third film Bale would require is the return of director Nolan. âI canât imagine doing this without Chris. I donât even want to consider that, because heâs created this, this is his. No matter how much there are great performances, and no matter how much thereâs a great cast and everything, everything comes down to the director,â Bale explained. âHe cast those people; heâs responsible for picking the right people for the right parts. Heâs responsible for the whole damn thing, if the movie works itâs all due to Chris.â
Now discuss this story in CBRâs TV/Film forum.

Blunt (cannabis cigar)
A blunt is a cigar hollowed out and filled with marijuana. It is rolled with the tobacco-leaf "wrapper" from an inexpensive cigar. Blunts take their name from Phillies Blunt brand cigars, although any commonly available inexpensive cigar or cigarillo is likely to be used, due to suitability and availability. Another common term for a blunt is an "El-P" or "L", [1] a reference to the El Producto brand.[2] Another commonly used nickname is "Dutch" when referring to Dutch Masters. Swisher Sweets and White Owl cigars/cigarillos are also popular with those who smoke blunts.
Blunts also come as ready made tobacco wraps with hundreds of flavors across numerous brands.
In the tobacco industry, a blunt is defined as a cigar which is wider than a cigarillo and not quite as wide as a Corona. A cigarillo that has been split and re-rolled with marijuana is called a blunt in cannabis culture.
Due to the tobacco content in the wrapper leaf, blunts carry with them the risks of tobacco use, including addiction and cancer.[3] In addition to using cheap cigars and cigarillos to smoke cannabis, cigar wraps or "blunt wraps" are also used. These products are legal because they are ostensibly used in rolling one's own cigars.

Product Questions
i have a 302 motor with this kit would i half to change valve springs an torqe converter?
Since this is a mild camshaft valve springs and a torque converter are not necessary.
Date published: 2016-06-06
i have a stock 289 4 bar 1965 Mustang. Would the Comp Cam work well with other stock components? Would idle quality or gas mileage be significantly effected? Do you recommend changing the intake?--thank you
We would recommend going with the full kit. You will definitely get a slight lopey idle and with the increase in power your fuel economy may decrease. If you are going to make this investment it would be best to upgrade your intake manifold and carburetor at the same time.
Date published: 2016-03-11
What can be the expected horsepower output withstock ford 4 barrel carb.?
That is not a number that is provided by the manufacturer. There is too many other variables that can determine horsepower. But what is known is that this kit is a huge improvement over stock.

This scent is very fruity, in the best way possible. Sometimes scents can be a bit too fruity for me, and I was worried about this one... but I love it! It is very fruity, but in a very balanced, lovely fun way.
I paired this with a frankincense and it came out great in this special shave soap I made. I used beeswax also it was the perfect combination. The soap I made with a mixture of pottasiam hydroxide and sodium hydroxide and put bambussa coconut lanolin coffee butter,kokeum butter, beesjojoba,grapeseed,avocado oil,Hempseed but not too much I don't really like that I used very little and very little olive oil pomace. Oh I used your heavy gold glitter. Too bad I can't post a pic. It looks and smells wonderful I did a hot process and used a bubble wrap mold. I'm very new to soap making only 4 weeks and made so many cool things so far.and I owe most of my knowledge to your cool store. I am a chef so i really like the hot process because i feel like im in control of what happens good or bad so far its been really good. But some of the cold process stuff you do blows my mind and i will be trying some more of that too. I am very thankful for your free instructions you post.That is so cool of you
I recently paired this with Grapefruit Bellini and it works wonderfully with it. I made two separate batches of melt and pour soap and placed them in the gift boxes together. The bellini went into my large candy hearts and the passionfruit was in the little hearts and my x's and o's. I will recommend that if you put these two together don't skimp on the fragrance cause the Bellini has such a strong presence. But it smelled so yummy. I love it.
I just used a sample of this in Argan & Shea Lotion - Very Yummy!! I want to keep it for myself and not sell it, but if it's a hit, I will just have to make more - and save some for myself.
If anyone has used it in CP, I would love to hear how it behaved.... I'm looking forward to trying it myself.
I am a novice who is having a ball playing with your products and tutorials. I bought this fragrance as it was suggested in a recipe/tutorial for making bath bombs. I find it delectable!
I also want to say how impressed I am with your company in general. The instructions you give are always clear so that even someone like me -- who has no experience at all -- experiences success. Thank you!

The Outlaw Demon Wails (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
When you dance with demons, you lay your soul on the line . . .
In the Hollows, where the natural and the supernatural co-exist—not always peacefully—desperate times often call for unorthodox measures. But bounty hunter-witch Rachel Morgan did the absolutely unthinkable to save the lives of her friends: she willingly trafficked in forbidden demon magic. And now her sins have come home to haunt her.
As Rachel hunts for the truth behind a terrifying murder, the discovery of a shocking family secret is about to throw her entire life into question. And the long-lost ancient knowledge she seeks resides in the demonic ever-after.
But there are some lines that should never be crossed—like the one Rachel Morgan's stepping over . . . again!

In previous issues of this journal I've presented two articles on research related to Homoeopathy 1, 2. Since that time there have been more developments in this area, and some which I'd not unearthed until recently.
Why is this issue important? It's critical to have a solid research database in Homoeopathy because of the radical departure it makes from known scientific principles. Given the fact that other medicines used by natural therapists such as herbs and nutrients are essentially working at a pharmacological level, we don't have to stretch our imaginations too far to accept the clinical evidence for them. However, unless one has had direct clinical experience of the benefits of Homoeopathy, it can take a much larger leap of faith to accept that a potentised substance diluted out often past the point where there's any physically active material present, will produce any effect at all, let alone a therapeutic one.
So for many, particularly those with an orthodox science background, the brave new world of homoeopathy is unlikely to be explored unless something solid can be felt under the explorer's boot. With this in mind, following are some more abridged highlights from the annals of homoeopathic research.
Human studies
1. Fisher P., Greenwood A, Huskisson EC, Turner P and Belon P. Effect of Homoeopathic Treatment on Fibrositis, British Medical Journal, 5 August, 1989, 299, 365-366. Patients using Rhus tox 6C three times daily in a double blind placebo controlled crossover trial found significant relief with the medicine over the placebo.
2. Bignamini M, Saruggia M, Sansonetti G. Homeopathic Treatment of Anal Fissures using Nitricum acidum Berlin J on Res in Hom, 1, 4/5, 286-287, December 1991. Patients using Nitricum acidum 9C once daily in a double blind placebo controlled trial found subjective relief with the medicine over the placebo.
3. Alibeu JP, Jobert J. Aconite in Post-Operative Pain and Agitation in Children, Pediatrie, 1990, 45, 7-8, 465-6. Children given homoeopathic Aconite in a double blind placebo controlled trial found significant relief (95%) with the medicine over the placebo.
4. Gibson R.G, & Gibson S.L.Homoeopathic Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Evaluation by Double Blind Clinical Therapeutic Trial, Br J. Clin. Pharmac., 9, 1980, 453-459. Patients using a number of different homoeopathic medicines, prescribing according to homoeopathic principles, were given this medicine or a placebo with their normal anti-arthritic drug. The trial was carried out blind and significant results were achieved with the medicine over the placebo in all areas measured.
5. Gasssinger CA, Wunstel G, Netter P. A Controlled Clinical Trial for Testing the Efficacy of the Homoeopathic Drug, Eupatorium perfoliatum, D2 in the Treatment of Common Cold Arznei Forsch, 1981, 31, 4, 732-736.

You should totally do more shots like this and make them into wallpapers. This picture is amazing. When I graduated out of highschool, I enlisted into the Army for Airborne Infantry but was medically discharged after 3 months for something so this picture is actually special to me. Again, very nice picture!
niiiiiiiiiiiiice shot
Airborne infantry. One of the few acceptable reasons to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.
All Airborne jump out of the plane NOW
"HOOOAH!" Fantastic Shot & Superb description! Thank you for sharing MilitaryPhotos!
Franklin Co. is my neck of the woods. I'm from Martinsville, VA. Nice photo! My fiance' is an Airborne Ranger veteran.
Easily one of the best experiences I've ever had. Not claiming to be SSG Surber, mind you, just saying that I've been through Airborne school and the jumps are AMAZING. Thanks for posting this so that I could remember that feeling.
what a hell of a way to die!
Outstanding photo.... head tucked, feet and knees together. good exit... feel jerk of chute opening. reach up grab raisers, pay attention to other jumpers in the air. as you get closer to the ground prepare to release your equipment and execute a Perfect 5 pt Parachute Landing Fall. retired SFC (Jumpmaster) 7th SFG, ft bragg NC. God bless you and our Brothers in arms.. stay safe and alive!!
Excellent pic. I love being airborne. 1st 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment in Ft. Benning GA. home of the rangers. I pack chutes for airborne schools and always enjoyed jumping.
That's a different view, Great photo!
wow photo
Fantastic picture and a wonderful endeavor!
0o0...................i forgot to blink........its a awesome picture!!!!!!!!
Just looking at this picture makes me feel dizzy. XDD
Amazing picture though.
Amazing picture though.
I suppose that's one way to take a break and lounge around.
This photograph really is something else
woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! C-130
Heck yeah! Get some!
Love this! : D Love the sense of depth it has.
I see no point in jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft
Friggin' awesome, as always
This is fantastic! The Hercules is one of my favs and i love the military! :]]
I'm from Serbia. I love this.
Lazeboy?! this is like a Lazeboy rekliner all you need now is a beer and a TV and your in your living room. Rilly Rilly cool pix.
was this the work of a GoPro HD?
In her last few years working at the river port in Nikolayev, Ukraine, my mother's duty as one of the dock managers was to make sure that British Marines and their kit safetly got on and off their ships when they arrived for combined training in the area outside my home city. It's great to see everyone is back in my 'motherland' enjoying themselves again! XD Can't wait to join them.
1-503rd1 HHC here! "HOSTILE!"
Wooooo! That's awesome!
Reminds me of the time I did a static line jump out the side of a C-141.
I always wanted to tailgate out the back of an aircraft. I've it's so much more fun when you can simply run out of the plane.
I always wanted to tailgate out the back of an aircraft. I've it's so much more fun when you can simply run out of the plane.
Do you feel much vertigo at first or does that not kick in till you are closer to the ground?
At first yes. Once I had the chance to look down and see the ground way far down below me, I momentarily freaked out until I looked up and saw the massive canopy of my chute above me. Then I knew I was okay and I began focus on what I was supposed to be doing.
oh this picture reminde me of my first time jumping out of a plane good lord i was scared
Me too. But damn what a rush it was.
yeah i felt like i was on drugs when i landet i doubt that i will ever have such rush felling again
God I hate when I wake up and I realize that I am in the air jumping from a perfectly safe plane, yet again.

Probably a silly question: I have a vs2010 project with workflows in a site scoped feature. When i deploy through visual studio the workflows are associated with lists. However when i deploy manually they don't. I'm guessing i have to associate through an event receiver or did i miss something?
To associate a custom workflow to a list, you can use Features. Write a Feature Receiver and write code to associate the Workflow to the List.

Okay, I upgraded from 2.5 to 2.5.1 and everything was working fine. Then all of a sudden....my posts are all gone.
any help is appreciated! Thanks!
oh and my right side bar is gone as well.
Poor... all content gone? That's very dangerous... I wanted to upgrade but i think I got to hold on before all bugs fixed in 2.5.1
PatKing, try to downgrade to 2.5 first?
Yeah, I already had 2.5 and was upgrading to 2.5.1.
Can I re upload the 2.5? Will it work until I can get this figured out?
Only if you have a backup of the database made before the upgrade. Since that's a basic step advised for any upgrade, I hope you have it.
I've uploaded my back up, but now I can't access my admin panel. I keep getting an error when trying to login. Any ideas?
"an error" is as vague as my answer: no ideas.
Uploading your backup is not the same as restoring a previous version of WP.
When you want to "roll back" you should follow the Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup instructions + uploading the old WP files (except wp-content... as always!!!)
I have got everything restored and the old version of WP back up. Everything is working fine now. Should I try to do the upgrade again or should I wait until there is a more stable version? Now I'm paranoid to do it.
well, seeing there's already some 2.5 site hacked, I would try to update as fast as possible, at least the 3 critical files.
Man, I have the same problem. All my content has gone, of three 2.5.1 sites. What can I do? I have no idea how to do a roll back, and why does this happen? The sites were running perfectly?

A spending bill for fiscal year 2011 would include $37.5 million for projects in U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan's 17th District.
The House Appropriations Committee's Defense Subcommittee announced Tuesday that some $18 million is allocated for projects such as advanced metals technology, biometrics and alternative energy in the Mahoning Valley.
"We're just really excited about taking the research and products in the community to the next level," said Ryan, of Niles, D-17th, who is on the subcommittee. "It's a major jump-start to our technology initiative."
The other portion of the money would go to the Akron area for sev- eral multimillion-dollar projects.
Though the appropriations were approved by the defense subcommittee, the bill still must pass the full House Appropriations Committee, full House of Representatives and Senate and be signed by President Barack Obama.
Ryan said he's not worried, and the hardest part is past.
"The number may change a little bit. Sometimes it goes up or down," he said. "It just passed the defense subcommittee, which is the initial and most substantial step to get it in the bill, so everything else is just tweaking the bill."
One project has caught the attention of Warren Mayor Michael O'Brien — a $4.7 million program that would partner the nonprofit Tech Belt Energy Innovative Center in Warren with the Youngstown Business Incubator and Youngstown State University.
The project is called Ohio Enhanced Defense Alternate Energy Suppliers Program and would identify new technologies to improve fuel economy and provide alternate energy and power sources for defense applications.
"We couldn't be more pleased that Congressman Ryan has secured funding to facilitate the development of Tech Belt Energy Innovation Center in downtown Warren," O'Brien said Tuesday in a news release. "This is a key element for continued development in the city — bringing new vitality to downtown and new job growth to the region."
YSU also was allocated $3.5 million for a program that would advance development of a lightweight, cost-effective material to be used for force protection, possibly for military transport vehicles, according to the news release.
Ryan said the allocation of this money isn't just for show, and he intends to secure funding each year.
"This isn't some esoteric exercise here. We're getting defense money that's driving manufacturing in the United States," he said. "This isn't stimulus money or a one-shot deal. It's money you can get on the committee that happens every year."
Local projects
$4.7 million: Youngstown State University will administer a program in conjunction with the Tech Belt Energy Innovative Center in Warren and the Youngstown Business Incubator to identify new technologies to improve fuel economy and provide alternate energy and power sources for defense applications.
$3.5 million: YSU will help advance the development of a viable, lightweight, cost- efficient, nanocomposite material that can be used for force protection. The tested materials will be ready for specific field applications of benefit to soldiers, such as force protection for military transport vehicles.
$3 million: YSU and YBI will research new methods of making stainless steel more durable and resistant to corrosion, which would dramatically reduce energy consumption in energy intensive industrial processes.
$1.5 million: YSU and YBI will develop hardware and software that establishes a link to each patient's portable health-care card record. Funding will be used to establish a Biometrics Information Security and Image Science Research Center that will foster technological and economic growth in Northeast Ohio.
$4.75 million: YSU and YBI will use the funding to improve the fielding and sustainment of weapons systems by designing and simulating the platform in a digital environment. The project will conduct a larger-scale demonstration of Model Based Enterprise tools to establish and validate procedures and processes.

Mr. Tax & Spend himself - Tim Ryan. He is turning into the King of Pork! What about the 8000 jobs lost in the valley over the past two years many lost because he failed to do what was right for the valley instead he followed the liberal DemoWRONG Pelosi party line. That loss of jobs is the main valley problem and all his DemoPORK can't bring those jobs back. It's time for Tim to go bye bye in November. Vote for Graham!!!
Congrats to the Congressman for doing such a great job for the valley. True, it is hard to make up for the mess created by the Republicans in the past. The Bush/Republican recession did put the middle class in a bind. But with help form Cong. Ryan we have reversed the decline and will recover.
What? Money coming into the area? What an awful thing. I don't want any of my money going to a potentially good thing.
I see our Keyboard Superheros are at it again.
The fact is that this is extremely good news because the importation of any new dollars to a region is what drives overall economic development. These dollars would have been distributed somewhere. That is a fact. Would you prefer that they went to Pittsburgh?
The fact is that it far more important to our economic future to chase after Research Centers like Ryan does than stupid a Convocation Center like Traficant did.
The fact is that these dollars will create high paying white collared jobs. And high paying jobs are bad why?
Too Little Too Late Tim
Really good at patting yourself on the back
We need to replace him & most of the other Congressmen.
Bye Bye Timmy
My Bad
Sure any moneys coming to the valley is a good thing.....
But Government Money?
Who's going to pay the bill
Us & Our grandchildren?!?!?
The road the Democrates are leading us down is a Dead End !!!
Not a good future for American Taxpayers
Then change the game nationally. But, as long as the money is going to be doled out, I want Ryan fighting for every penny of it to come here.
And whats wrong with the federal government funding research that creates new high paying jobs in the private sector? It's what was used to cure polio. And that's was bad why?
The research dollars Ryan secured will, among other things, develop advanced materials to better protect our troops. And that is bad why?
Advanced materials that can also be used in many other private sector industries to create high paying blue collar manufacturing jobs. And that is bad why?
YSU has been involved in advanced material science for decades with great success in accretion to the private sector from the steel mills of old to our new cutting edge companies like Sycro Medical Innovations and Fireline TCONN of today.
What's your point? Please don't pontificate of that which you know nothing about.
What you are is an old coot with too much time on your hands.
But, thanks for commenting and proving your irrelevance.
More investments and jobs for the valley. Excellent news.
"YSU has been involved in advanced material science for decades with great success in accretion to the private sector from the steel mills of old to our new cutting edge companies like Sycro Medical Innovations and Fireline TCONN of today.
What's your point? Please don't pontificate of that which you know nothing about. "
Lovethiscity, you should take your own advice (mentioned in your last sentence) regarding this topic
As a graduate from Ohio State University in Material Science & Engineering with nearly 20 years of experience working with various materials, YSU is not even a blip on the map regarding research and development of advanced materials.
Maybe YSU's work with local steel companies is the reason why so many of those companies no longer exist in the Valley.
YSU is not a research and development university, and should probably stick to working with silly putty since they don't have the expertise.
Censoredship is 100% correct. Ryan is just bringing pork, any pork to the valley regardless of its merits or the areas ability to do the research being funded. The payments that future generations will be required to pony up to pay for the massive debt build is astonishing. Soon, China and the rest of the world will see the house of cards and quit funding these shenanigans. Once that happens, and interest rates start to rise, the cards will come falling down. The pork however should enable Timmy to get reelected ad infinitum. A society is near the end of its reign when money is shoveled out in wheelbarrows to keep the masses happy.
You Demokrauts make me laugh. This is good spending for our Valley quit crying about lost jobs. Tim Ryan is doing SOMETHING to help us out collectively. As for those who quit their jobs and stopped looking and are sucking up unemployment: Your opportunity is right now to get out there and get your resumes circulating for these manufacturing positions. Hop to it!
I think Mayor O'Brien should rent out advertizing space on that forehead and use the money to hire more police officers! Man, get another picture.
At one time, YSU had an excellent material science programs. We put quite a few metallurgists into the various basic metal producers for years. The students would often go to school during the day and work in the steel mills at night where they learned practical engineering applications. When steel was king locally, YSU was top-notch. However, since the closures, the program dried up and I'm not sure they were even accredited anymore in material science.
I believe that the university has re-energized the program recently and has indeed done research on newer materials, as noted in previous posts by others. Why bash YSU for attempting to move forward and reinvent itself? My son is in pre-med - biology at YSU and assists in biology research being conducted there. So, I think you need to check your facts. When I attened over 30 years ago, it wasn't involved in very much research. It was an an application-type university. But, that has changed lately and professors are encouraged to do research. Funding, both government and private, has been on the increase to the university.
Personally, I am tired of government overspending. But, if they are going to dole out the money, we should get our cut. One could argue that building the space program and going to the moon was a waste of out tax dollars. But, look at the innovation that came out of the space program and how it changed our lives.
ANd, speaking of the space program, it reminded me of something. In 1977, I took a material science course at YSU that was taught by Dr. Saffiq Ahmed. In the 1960's, Dr. Ahmed was a consultant to NASA on the heat shield materials used on the space capsules. He wasn't a great instructor, but he knew materials.
I think Censoredship sums it up pretty well in his last post.
While it is nice that money will be coming to the Valley, this type of project is better suited at an established research powerhouse. Essentially this money will be used for YSU to catch up, instead of developing new materials - not a very good investment in taxpayer money.
Metallurgy is connected to the Material Science field, but a metallurgist would have to re-educate himself to be knowledgeable enough to do research in advanced materials, which is based off of advanced ceramics.
There are simply too many other universities that this money would be better suited for.

Molly S. Tolleson
Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:03 p.m.
HENDERSONVILLE — Molly Young Sudduth Tolleson passed peacefully from this world to the next on Friday, Jan. 4, 2013, at the Life Care Center in Hendersonville, NC.
Molly was born in Greer, South Carolina, on Oct. 27, 1924. She moved to Hendersonville with her family as a young girl, and enjoyed helping her father, P.F. Sudduth, with the family's ice and coal business on Whitted Street. Molly's mother, Annie Neely Sudduth, was choir director at First Baptist Church.
Molly and her sister Martha attended Hendersonville High School. Molly continued her education at Shorter College, earning a degree in History. Sympathizing with Russian women fighting on the front lines in World War II, Molly enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduation. Following her service, she drove to the west coast to visit her cousin, pianist Helen Neves. She settled in San Francisco, found employment with the FBI, and met bandleader Walter Tolleson. She and Walter were married in 1948, and they had four children, Walter IV, Peter, Robin, and Susan.
Molly returned to Hendersonville in 1967, and worked in the pre-school at First Baptist Church with her dear friend Betty Jackson, while raising her children. She enjoyed crosswords and quilting, and loved playing bridge. She volunteered at church and with literacy groups in the area. Molly always had a word of encouragement for her children and their friends who would gather at the house, and later in life got great joy "dropping pearls" for her grandchildren. "Mo" was treasured by family and friends of all ages.
Molly is preceeded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P.F. Sudduth, and a son, Peter Frederick Tolleson.
She is survived by her sister, Martha James, of Chattanooga, Tennessee; cousins Anne Edge, of Cedartown, GA, and Christine Felton, of Arlington, Texas; daughter, Susan Bufano and son-in-law Jim Bufano, of Greenville, SC; son, Walter Tolleson IV, of Daly City, CA; son, Robin Tolleson and daughter-in-law Jocelyn Clayton Tolleson, of Hendersonville, NC; niece, Terri Lowe and John Lowe, of Chattanooga, TN; granddaughters, Millie Tolleson, of San Francisco, CA, and Stacy and Kimberly Bufano, of Greenville, SC; grandsons, James Tolleson, of Davidson, NC, and Cory Bufano, of Toms River, NJ; and great-grandsons, Mason Linder, Riley and Cooper Bufano, and Jordan Malizia.
The family wishes to thank Heather Harrison, the many caregivers at The Bridge at Lake Point Landing and at the Life Care Center, and the staff of Four Seasons Hospice, for the loving attention they gave to Molly's comfort.
A memorial service will be held for Molly at 3 p.m., on Sunday, Jan. 13, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 900 Blythe Street in Hendersonville, with the Rev. Mark Stanley presiding.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Blue Ridge Literacy Council, Four Seasons Hospice, or Greenville County Animal Care.
