The vehicle to be evaluated by the Fleet station around Farnborough, Alton and Aldershot over the next 30 months is one of 103 Ecostars - all based on the shell of an Escort van - that Ford has built for real-life trials. You cannot yet buy one. Nor would you want to at today's prices. The vehicle on loan to the Hants police is being sponsored by National Power.For it is the electricity generating companies that stand to gain most from the coming electric car revolution. And come it will, as surely as the world's finite reserves of fossil fuel will expire.
Technically, the Ecostar is as far ahead of Sinclair's grim C5 as Concorde is from a Tiger Moth. In busy London traffic, it was even easier to drive than the petrol automatic the American-based design team sought to emulate. Learners bamboozled by clutch and gear lever would find it a doddle. To activate the powerful computers and complex electronics, you turn a conventional "ignition" key. A green light comes on to indicate all's well. When drive is selected, with a conventional floor-mounted lever with P R N D markings, the Ecostar tends to creep from rest like an automatic. There are no gears to change, either. The 75 horsepower AC motor, which runs at up to twice the speed of a normal petrol engine (to a dizzy 13,500 revs per minute), drives the front wheels through a one-speed gearbox.
Unlike a petrol or diesel engine, an electric motor develops massive pulling power at rest, so Ecostar accelerates from standstill with unexpected vigour and uncannily little noise. As speed increases, zap subsides, but acceleration within urban limits is never less than sprightly. The drive-by-wire accelerator pedal feels like that of a petrol-powered car. It was a priority that all Ecostar's controls should have familiar feel.
Back off and the car slows discernibly as motor becomes generator, feeding electricity back to the batteries as the regenerative braking system snaps into action. The Achilles heel of electric vehicles running on conventional lead-acid batteries is that they fizzle to a halt, energy exhausted, after 30 miles or so. Ford has addressed the problem on Ecostar by using state- of-the-art sodium-sulphur batteries that give three times the mileage of ordinary ones of comparable weight. Ford reckons it's got as many as l54 miles from one Ecostar, but concedes that the average is around 100 miles - much less than normal but adequate for an urban runabout.
No electric vehicle is capable of sustaining motorway speeds for 300- 400 miles, even less one that can be recharged in the time it takes to replenish a normal fuel tank. There's no short cut to the five-seven hours needed to recharge the Ecostar's battery - at any domestic socket provided you have the right adapter. A full charge, say six hours at 30 amps, costs about £l.20, says Ford, so running costs are competitive.
The big snag with Ecostar's dedicated prototype batteries is that they cost more than £30,000 apiece - though the price would tumble with volume production, perhaps to as little as £1,000. By the turn of the century, Ford believes that a viable electric car might carry a 10 per cent price premium, the extra spent on batteries being offset by savings on the motor, which is cheaper than a conventional engine.
Weight remains a problem. Ecostar's multi-cell battery, slung low beneath the cargo floor so the vehicle's handling and balance is not upset, weighs around 350kg, 6.9cwt. Although weight savings have been made on the van itself, Ecostar is still 25 per cent heavier than an ordinary Escort. Even so, it felt stable in city traffic, and steered easily without power assistance.
Ford dismisses fears about safety. It reckons a tankful of petrol is no less hazardous than a third-of-a-ton of battery operating at 300 C - three times the temperature of boiling water. Ideal for delivering pizzas, perhaps, but not ice cream. For protection and insulation, the battery cells are contained in a sand-filled matrix encased, like a vacuum flask, in glassfibre and double-skinned stainless steel. Ecostars have survived test crashes without calamity, says Ford. Extra heating is provided on cold-climate cars by a diesel-fuelled burner, which supplements the battery- powered heater/air conditioning.
Problems with range, performance and recharging will restrict electrics such as Ecostar to being urban runabouts unless there's a breakthrough in battery technology. Meanwhile, California, with its stringent emissions regulations, is becoming champion of the electric car. In 1998 the polluted state will demand that 2 per cent of all vehicles sold - about 25,000 - should have zero emissions. That means 25,000 expensive electrics with low-tech batteries (nothing else is commercially viable), poor performance and pathetic ranges. Who will buy them? "The industry is not ready for mandated sales of electric cars," commented Ray Day of Ford.
Ecostar has cost Ford $150m so far. Now the company has joined forces with GM, Chrysler and the US government to seek that Holy Grail: the long- range, high-performance battery.

Brave New World
Imagine what the world would be like if we were all "under the iron curtain." In his foreword to the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley envisioned this statement when he wrote: "To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda...." Thus, through hypnopaedic teaching (brainwashing), mandatory attendance to community gatherings, and allusions to prominent political dictators, Huxley bitterly satirized totalitarian propaganda and political technique to point out the problems of a dystopian society.
The way the fascist and totalitarian regimes used mass propaganda techniques to brainwash their people was nearly identical to the way Huxley described the hypnopaedic teachings in his novel. He also thought, however, that the present-day totalitarian states' methods were still "crude and unscientific." For example, in the novel the different classes had been brainwashed since birth to believe that they all contributed equally to society. Therefore, the people wouldn't go against the World Controllers because they had never been trained to think anything differently. In addition, they didn't have any knowledge of a society which they could compare themselves. This was evident in the saying "History is bunk." Similarly, the totalitarian dictators attempted to control but failed because they weren't able to persuade the entire world to think like them. In addition, Communism attempted to rewrite history, but the society in Brave New World took the next step and forgot about history altogether. The only people who had access to any knowledge of the past were the ones who had the power: the World Controllers. Thus, they were able to create a stable society.
Since the hypnopaedic ideas in the society were continuously repeated throughout one's lifetime, mandatory attendance to community gatherings, such as the Solidarity Service, were strictly enforced. The main purpose of the Solidarity Service was to promote social stability. The people were driven to this idea

Usually they just give you a bit of storeage space on some webserver. I doubt many things give BJ's for winning AMV contests. Maybe you got offered because they knew you'd never win ?

Tragic QUEEN star FREDDIE MERCURY has been turned into a resin sculpture as part of a new collection of heavy rock musicians such as Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, AC DC guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young, and late Pantera star 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott. Bosses for collectible sculpture firm KnuckleBonz, Inc. reveal they've created the new figures to capitalise on demand from rock fans. The company creates limited edition sculptures of music icons, which are cast in a poly-resin and hand-painted in fine detail. All 3,000-limited edition sculptures are hand-numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity.

Blade Eagle 3-D is a vertical shoot-em-up which has no story involved. You just have to shoot your way on three planets (you have to travel through space first), blasting as many enemies as possible. Along the way, there are several bosses that you have to defeat. The later ones drop a power-up, which you can use to upgrade your ship. Some of the power-ups include double shots and laser beams. Another power-up gives you the ability to have an extra ship on your side and will join the fight, and will later serve as a backup. Blade Eagle is designed for play in conjunction with the Sega 3-D Glasses. If you play without the 3-D glasses, it will look like as if there are two of your ships, not just one. If there are four enemies approaching you, they will look like eight.Screenshots

David Cameron has flown to Cyprus to meet British aircrew flying bombing missions over Iraq.
The symbolic visit to servicemen stationed at the Akrotiri military base came as the Prime Minister announced that a further two British Tornado jets would be deployed on the Iraqi mission against Isis to provide "enhanced resilience".
Currently six Tornadoes from Number 2 Squadron are taking part in the Iraqi mission. The Squadron was due to be disbanded next year but will now continue to serve for an extra year. As well as meeting crew, Mr Cameron was also briefed in Cyprus by military commanders in charge of Operation Shader.
The Tornadoes have been carrying out two missions a day against Isis targets since Tuesday, predominantly in support of Kurdish forces in the north-west of Iraq, following a parliamentary vote authorising UK involvement in the international military campaign.
Speaking as he arrived in Cyprus, Mr Cameron said: "Less than a week into combat operations in Iraq, I wanted to come here to thank our troops for the vital work they're doing to defeat these barbaric Isil [as Isis are also known] terrorists who threaten security not just in Iraq, Syria and the region but on the streets of Britain too. It's an opportunity to hear directly from them about their operations, the challenges they face and what support they need.
"They've already flown a dozen sorties and carried out strikes on four of those missions, successfully hitting eight targets and helping Iraqi forces hold territory but also push back Isil too. We want to make sure that we can keep up this tempo in the days ahead so we will deploy a further two Tornados to Akrotiri in the next 24 hours.
"We will also extend the lifetime of Number Two Squadron for a further year to April 2016 to ensure we can sustain this effort in the months ahead."
He added: "Obviously, these operations are just one element of our strategy. We are also working hard to deliver a training package for Iraqi forces.
"But today is really about thanking our brave airmen and women. We should never forget the sacrifices they make and the risks they take to make Britain a safer home for all of us and our families."

Style: 30687743 Color Code:
Elegant sandal with an adjustable ankle strap and toe loop. Features the Birkenstock classic footbed and shock-absorbing EVA sole. Flirty, fashionable, and fun.
Birkenstock contoured cork footbed supports the arches of the foot and features a suede liner, a deep heel cup for stability, and a toe bar to promote the foot's natural gripping motion, stimulating circulation.
My new favourite shoes!
I've wanted these for a few years now, but I really wanted the Antique Brown colour and those are hard to find. I finally found them (on sale too!) so went for it. I was worried about the ankle strap being too loose & looking slopping because I have very thin ankles, but I was mistakenly shipped 37 Narrow (instead of Regular width) and they fit perfectly. Birks run a size large - I normally wear an 8, but always order a 37 in Birkenstocks. Anyone who is having trouble with the ankle strap being too large, I would suggest trying to track these down in the narrow width!
GREAT SANDALS...one minor stipulation!
I adore these. The color is perfect, they have the good birkenstock quality you can rely on and they are lighter visually than most other birks. They fit perfectly everywhere...except the ankle strap. Apparently my ankles are too big and I couldn't even get the strap to the first hole! I've never had this issue with any other ankle sandal or shoe, so I was super bummed. Unfortunately they have to go back. But if you have smaller ankles, these are definitely the way to go!
My favorite shoes!
The comfiest shoe I own, super stylish and the antique brown color allows it to be paired with so many different looks. I get lots of compliments on these as they stray from the usual "birkenstock" look so people are curious to see what kind of sandal this is. They are a bit loose but i wouldn't say necessarily order a size up, I used the conversion chart and it was perfect. They're supposed to not be super snug which gives it that rustic look and comfy feel. Definitely a great buy
New Summer favorite!
Love this Birkenstock style, as it is a bit more dressy with the wraparound straps at the ankles, but the comfort of a Birkenstock! Purchased in the antique brown, which goes with everything. Versatile enough to wear with any outfit from casual to dressy.
The Yara is Really Comfortable
I bought the Mayari two weeks ago and am going through heck to break them in. I decided to try to stick with Birkenstocks because of foot problems, so I ordered the Yara. I'm glad I listened to the reviews posted here; I ordered a size down for the Yara and they fit perfectly. This style is so much more comfortable and required no break-in period even though they have the classic footbed. I noticed that the footbed is softer and arch support is less pronounced which is good for me, having flat feet. I'm disappointed in the Birkenstock inconsistency in sizing and feel because I would love to just look up the new styles and order online. Both my Birks were ordered online, so for my next pair, I'll go to a store to make sure I get the right size with a footbed less severe than the Mayari.
Not for narrow feet and ankles
I love my Gizeh Birkenstocks and also love the ankle strap trend right now so I thought these would be a nice fusion of the two.. But unfortunately they were wide, floppy, and the ankle strap sagged down. I resembled Fred Flinstone and I have narrow small feet. The antique brown is a very wearable color and the sole was very soft, but I returned them. For reference I am. 7-71/2 in U.S. Shoes and a 38 narrow in the Gizeh. I got a 37 in these. The length was good with no extra room.lots of extra width though.the straps were loose too. A 38 would have been too big all around.
They're Great
I have a flat, wide foot and these are so comfortable for walking around in! There's a little space on the front and the heel but I think it's just part of the Birkenstock style. My go to sandal for summer!
Pure love!
These sandals are incredible - super comfy & super cute! These are not the typical Birkenstock (the kind I had 20 years ago ;) )...very modern yet sticking with their comfortable traditions. I definitely recommend these wonderful sandals!

It's no mystery as debutant filly lands the feature race at Fakenham
PUBLISHED: 06:30 29 October 2015
Mystery Code made an impressive winning hurdles debut for trainer Alan King when landing the feature, the two-mile juvenile hurdle, at Fakenham yesterday.
Sent off evens favourite, the three-year-old filly idled in front but won well from eight rivals, earning a 33/1 Triumph Hurdle quote from Paddy Power.
Useful on the flat, the filly travelled well and answered jockey Wayne Hutchinson's every call in scoring from Culture De Sivola.
"She's done a very professional job. She was very pleasing. I got to the front a bit too soon and she looked around for company. But then she has run on well again," said Hutchinson.
The Lucy Wadham trained Artifice Sivola gave a superb display of front-running and jumping to take the Cool Roxy Chase under double Grand National winning jockey Leighton Aspell.
Aspell sent the 4/1 chance off in front and never saw a rival as the five-year-old jumped boldly, winning by 17 lengths from Be On Time.
"He's a bit of livewire but has jumped great. I gave him a bit of a breather after the first circuit and he has gone on again," said Aspell.
The second chase almost clinched an Aspell double. But 5/2 favourite Road To Freedom, also trained by Wadham, was unable to reel in 7/1 chance Milgen Bay in an action-packed contest.
Milgen Bay desperately held on to win by a head under Thomas Garner for Oliver Sherwood, ironically Aspell's retainer.
Harriet Bethell, a winning amateur jockey at the course last season, had her second winner as a trainer when Miami Present took the maiden hurdle by seven lengths.
Ridden by Danny Cook, Miami Present, having his first run for the Nottinghamshire trainer, was always up with the leaders and scored with ease, returned at 6/1.
"I've only got six horses. I've had a lot of seconds, which is frustrating, so this is really good. He's a bit free at home and I thought a sharp track like Fakenham would suit," said Bethell.
The opener had been won by 2/1 favourite Tokyo Javilex who rewarded trainer Nigel Hawkes' lengthy trip from Devon under amateur Lee Drowne.
It was his second career success and came on an eight-year-old in form, having won at Ffos Las 11 days ago. The winner ran in snatches but won by four lengths from David Thompson's Weybridge Light.
Thompson had compensation when his Bowdler's Magic scooted home by eight lengths in the handicap hurdle under Brian Hughes at 8/1, beating Iron Butterfly with favourite Dainty Diva disappointing.
The finale, the National Hunt flat race, was won by newcomer Potters Legend under David Noonan for Wadham, returned at 10/1 and completing a 54/1 double for the Newmarket trainer.
Before racing the official opening of the Dr Piers Reinhold Medical Centre by the course's doctor of 34 years himself, took place, while the Cool Roxy bar, was opened by the 19-year-old gelding, who won 11 times during his racing career at the north Norfolk course.

Swift delivery by DPD and item was superb. I had previously read other reviews, and replies, and had no problems fitting the new cap.

However, when I tried to remove the cap, it would not unlock and spun around, similar to some of the other reviews. Luckily, although it was late at night, I was not alone, was in a well-lit garage and did still have some fuel in the tank. Worst product I have bought due to the consequences of not being able to put fuel in your car- not being able to get to work, being stuck somewhere and not able to get home etc. So inconvenient!

There were also day and night dives, a quick grab of humungous black sea urchins, and Kate and I checked out a lagoon at high tide. The Expedition was also being filmed.
The dredging team is back at the 'Singapore Deeps' (aka 'Singapore Hole' because it's not very long like say, a deep trench). The plan is to sample some of the deepest parts of Singapore's seabed. Meryl's tweet shows the scary shipping traffic that passes near the Deep Dredge site.

There were lots of hydroids, bryozoans. Also some brittlestars, shrimps and even a nudibranch!
Earlier in the morning, Kate and I did a much shallower dredge...haha. We sampled the seagrassy area in the lagoon next to Base Camp.
I used a tiny net. We managed to find quite a lot of interesting things like shrimps, small fishes and even a snail that Siong Kiat hasn't seen for a while.
Here's a few of the small animals we found living in seagrasses. Amazing what you can find out if we look.
Today, a film crew is in to shoot us at work. It was threatening to rain, which made for a dramatic backdrop I thought.
Dr JC Mendoza and Dr Arthur Anker are going to demonstrate the 'yabby pump' for the film crew.
Prof Daphne gets down to the small details of finding sea anemones on the shore!
The sorting crew also get filmed.
JC is delighted to find a little creature in our sorting trays. We are so happy when the scientists find something they like after we sort out the sampling materials.
A beautiful large sea fan collected during the day dive. It will join the other lovely sponges at the new natural history museum of Singapore! The dive team also found the Janss' pipefish. I couldn't take a nice photo of it.
The film crew are morbidly fascinated by the piles of Long-spined black sea urchins that some of the guys at the Expedition found at Seringat-Kias. Particularly after I told them how horrible the spines are if they get into you.
Back in the preservation and photo station, lots going on as usual. Including taking photos of larger animals such as this stingray.
Pei Yan shared Yujie looking at the baby cuttlefishes that just hatched from their egg capsules. She is feeding them tiny 'pods'.

I missed the night dive. Night dives have been productive so far and it would have been exciting to be there when they got back.

During the Expedition, I will try to post live updates on twitter as well as to facebook and the Mega Marine Survey facebook page. These will get less frequent as I start to do field work. I'm not very good at the smart phone in the field, and also, phone connections are not always strong enough to post regularly. So also check out tweets by participants using the hashtag for the Survey #MegaMarine. These are consolidated on the Mega Marine Survey blog.
Volunteer sign up for the Southern Expedition are already closed due to limited places and early logistical arrangements needed for participation.
But no worries, you CAN still join the Survey! Lots of surveys will continue after the Expedition, just at a less frenzied rate. There will be lots of other opportunities for volunteers to participate in dredging, field surveys as well as laboratory sessions. To join the Mega Marine Survey, register your interest in this formand you'll be invited to join the mailing list to receive updates on the Survey and sign up for Survey activities.

Awesome Athletics #3: Rickey Henderson
71 comments:
Roberto Clemente was definitely my favorite player during my childhood. I'd read about him and books and had seen some documentaries on TV and knew he was a great player to idolize. (He's still my all-time favorite.)
I do my best to get everything I can of his, but Clemente's stuff can get a bit pricey. Probably my favorite card in my Clemente collection is my '73 Topps issue, his final one. It was one of the first cards I can remember having, one of the greatest gifts my dad had or ever will get for me.
One of my first posts was dedicated to my Clemente collection:
http://baseballdimebox.blogspot.com/2011/12/tribute-to-all-time-hero.htmlGrowing up, Don Mattingly and Tino Martinez were my favorite players. Yes, I collect their cards. Tino way moreso than Donnie.
My favorite items are my two signed Tino TTM cards, and a Mattingly signed coaster from his restaurant.Early on, my team preference was determined by what little league team I was on. I started out on the Mariners, thus loving Griffey and the Big Unit. I followed that by going to the Rangers, when I fell in love with Nolan Ryan, Ruben Sierra, and Julio Franco. The last little league team I was on was the Giants, so naturally I was a Bonds fan. I'm still a fan of all of them, but don't actively seek their cards. I'd love to collect them, but I already have enough card money obligations.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of repeating myself AGAIN, Ron Cey was my favorite player in childhood, and, yes, I do collect his cards. Favorite item, probably that '75 Topps card again.
I'll see if I can find some different way to write a new post about him, because I can't keep sending you old links.I managed to catch the tail end of Dale Murphy's career... I really enjoyed the way he played the game and I liked what I heard about him off of the field as well. As he was winding down, a new guy by the name of Chipper Jones took his place.
You may have heard of him.Lol repetition.
Fred McGriff, as most of you all know. I did collect him, but I found a few much bigger collectors who were kicking my butt so I stopped. Sold most of my cards to each of them to help them along their way and boost my other collections. But I did keep a bunch including my favorite which is his 1985 Pre-Rookie.
When I first found there was just one online for $50...now a bunch are around and it can be had for $5. I found it in a set and got a "crazy deal" (when I sold the set without him I made all my money back!). It's the best card because he looks like he's 12 on the card, and the McGriff of my youth seemed like he was 50 from 1993 onward.Rickey and willie mccovey were my two favorites and i collect both oftheir cards.
My favorite rickey item has to be his signed rookie card i got personally signed two years ago at all star fan fest. My favorite mccovey card is probably my favorite vintage cards well - 1962 toppsFor once I'm not too late!
It's Brooks Robinson. Has been for more than 50 years. And I do collect Brooks items. I just posted about my favorite item right here.Mike Piazza and Hideo Nomo were my childhood favorites. I collect their cards and even named my blog after Nomo. My favorite Piazza card is his 1992 Bowman. It took me many years to get one and the one I have is in excellent condition.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess my childhood players are current players! Albert Pujols is my favourite but that's only because I've seen him play on the Angels
ReplyDeleteMy favourite MLB player growing up was Dave Stieb. A phenomenal pitcher, Stieb had no-hitters broken up with 2 outs/2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th inning in back-to-back starts. I have a nice collection of him and continue to add. My favourite items are the mini-posters from mid-80s OPC.
ReplyDeleteI followed the Reds, especially in the early 80s. My favorite players were Dave Concepcion and Mario Soto. My favorite Reds memory was when Concepcion pitched a scoreless inning in a Reds loss in 1988. I don't collect their cards. I've thought about picking up some Concepcion post-retirement relics and auto cards, but they just don't grab me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite player growing up was Angel Berroa. He was the only Royals player I remember being praised on television and I was very happy when he earned the ROY in 2003 over Matsui. My favorite card I own is his Donruss Absolute Memoribilia card with pieces of shoe, hat, jersey and bat on it.
ReplyDeleteyo fuji - here's the link to my post answering your question. thanks for the inspiration:
http://nightowlcards.blogspot.com/2012/06/were-all-just-living-in-his-world.htmlI have at least 133 posts (and counting) regarding my favorite player Barry Larkin (see them here: http://fanofreds.blogspot.com/p/barry-larkin-collection.html). As for what my favorite item is of his, it's got to be his 1987 Topps rookie card. I loved the '87 set as a kid - I still like it now, and you can't beat this card: http://fanofreds.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-barry-larkin-collection-01-1987.html
ReplyDeleteHere we go: http://thiscardiscool.blogspot.jp/2012/06/bba-childhood-heroes.html
And I noticed something obscenely crazy when grabbing the link for this post. More on this later...My favorite player growing up was Chris Chelios. I try to collect all of his cards, but I don't obsess over the game-used stuff. I try to get his autographed cards if they are affordable. My favorite card of his is probably his Ice Kings Donruss card from 1993-94:
Worth maybe a quarter, but a cool card to me.http://arbitrary-crap.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/soccer-cards-1-braveheart.html
Colin Hendry - Blackburn RoversAnother awesome round of questions Fuji.
http://dawgbonesaphilliesphan.blogspot.com/2012/06/another-round-of-fuji-esque-questions.htmlPhil Niekro was my favorite Braves (pitcher) and I was able to get his autograph about 10 years ago.
http://cardjunk.blogspot.com/2012/06/knucksie-autograph.htmlI didn't follow baseball as a kid, I was a basketball nerd. My favorite player was John Stockton. As a kid, I tried to collect as many Stockton cards as possible. Currently, my favorite Stockton item is an autographed card. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey Fuji,
Growing up outside Philadelphia and hating the Phillies as I did because everyone loved I grow up a Mets fan and my favorite player was Tom Seaver to the point my 1st sons middle name is Seaver! Favorite piece is an Upper Deck autographed card and a 1975 Mets Yearbook which he is on the cover I was 10 when I got it and still have it!
http://dionsipautosonly.blogspot.com/2012/06/favorite-player-and-item-fuji-contest.htmlJorge Posada. The main reason being he was the first Yankees card I ever got (in the first pack I ever bought as well) way back in 2005 (which is when I first got introduced to the hobby), and as New Yorker that was huge. Other things like how he would be on fire in the post season and how he helped his kid through his disease were factors as well. That 2005 Topps card is definitely my favorite card of Posada and I still have it too, and though I've tried collecting other Posada cards as well, but by the time I really got into the hobby Posada was already a star with hundreds upon hundreds of various base cards, parallels, inserts etc... which made it impossible for me to ever accomplish a complete PC (at least not in the near future).
ReplyDeleteHere's my answer to this question:
http://plaschkethysweaterisargyle.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-favorite-card-of-my-favorite.htmlRepliesIt's officially been added to my wantlist... now it's a waiting game. Remember... I'm a bargain hunter :-)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mike-Piazza-92-Bowman-RC-461-/221054676325?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item3377e2ad65Thanks Greg... I think I'm going to target the PSA 10 and see if I can get it in the $40 area.
Dwight Gooden. He set me off on a decade and a half of pain as a Mets fan. Don't worry, I'm over it now.
http://thediamondking.blogspot.com/2012/06/fooj-2.htmlOnce again, too late for the party... but here's my answer:
http://shlabotnikreport.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/fuji-feedback-my-favorite-players-when-i-was-a-kid/I could have sworn I already commented here, maybe I'm doing something wrong. But here's my post from yesterday, it's Mark McGwire
And my apologies if this shows up multiple times, blogger seems to be eating my comments.Blogger seems to be eating my comments, I tried to leave this yesterday but now it's not there:
http://tenetsofwilson.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-favorite-childhood-player.htmlFuj - I gotta Rickey for you to see -
thanks for the inspiration !

Jurgen Klinsmann insists he is happy in his current role as United States head coach despite speculation that the he could take over as Tottenham manager should Harry Redknapp depart for England.
Redknapp is tipped to be the next England manager following Fabio Capello's shock resignation. Although Redknapp admits it would be hard to leave a club where he has achieved so much, the 64-year-old has declared his interest in taking on the national side, conceding last week that the role would be the "ultimate" for any English manager.
United States coach Klinsmann, a fan favourite from two playing spells at Spurs, has been mentioned as a possible successor but he played down those rumours. He said: "I'm very happy in my role as USA manager and busy preparing for the start of World Cup qualifying this summer."

I Will Be Your Dominatrix / 294-0-00078-806-6
I'm not sure who this short story is supposed to appeal to. It's not what I would consider "erotica" - the dominatrix angle is extremely thin and barely dealt with, and there's not enough reading material on the main character's profession to fill the time while you boil an egg.
Instead, the focus is not on her profession but rather her boredom with it, and in predictable short story fashion, she quits at the end of shift one day, walks out and finds another job (no previous experience required, apparently), only to find that the hours are longer and the pay worse than her previous, easy-breezy high paying job in the sex industry, so she walks out of her new respectable job and happily back into her old one.
That's it - that's the whole story. And, in true short story fashion, there's no dealing with her previous unhappiness at her old job - that sense of unfulfilled ambitions evaporates as soon as she realizes that the pay is as good as it is, and you'd really think that an intelligent character could have figured out comparative salaries prior to all the job-hopping. The whole conceit just feels very thin and flimsy, and the short story seems to have been hastily slapped together, with a handful of spelling and grammar errors in the process.
I wouldn't recommend this short story - the price is low, but even free things take time to read and this story just isn't worth it.

Subject | Re: Unit tests for ldap api classes |
Date | Sat, 03 May 2014 17:16:02 GMT |
Hi Lucas, I see the benefit of your approach, and maybe others already thought about that. But maybe it is not so easy. The client module would depend on many apacheds modules. And currently many apacheds modules depend on the ldap-client-api module: $ find * -name pom.xml | xargs grep -l api-ldap-client-api core-api/pom.xml core-integ/pom.xml http-directory-bridge/pom.xml interceptors/hash/pom.xml interceptors/logger/pom.xml interceptors/authn/pom.xml kerberos-test/pom.xml ldap-client-test/pom.xml mmr-tests/pom.xml protocol-ldap/pom.xml server-integ/pom.xml I'm not sure if all of them really need the ldap-client-api module. But to refactor is is quite some effort. I won't stop you from trying, if you succeed I think that would be great :) Kind Regards, Stefan On 05/03/2014 07:05 PM, Lucas Theisen wrote: > Hi Stefan, > > Thank you, I believe I knew that already, but was drawing a blank this > morning. > > Should we still consider extracting out another subproject that would be a > peer of apacheds and shared.

Birds Of Tokyo Announce "Darker" New Album 'Brace', Share Heavy Title Track

Birds Of Tokyo have announced their "darker" new album Brace and revealed the first single and title track from their forthcoming record.
In an interview with triple j this morning, the band revealed their fifth studio album will have a "very deliberate" new sound, taking a "darker, dirty rock direction".
Birds Of Tokyo said earlier this year that they thought the forthcoming record wouldn't get much radio play because it was too 'heavy'.
"Rock music sucks these days, but it doesn't have to," the band told triple j's Kyran Wheatley and Gen Fricker. Birds Of Tokyo worked on the new record with Dave Bottrill, who has previously worked with Tool, Muse and Smashing Pumpkins, and the band say he's "the best producer we've worked with to date".
"Mums of Australia are going to hate it," said the band's Adam Spark when asked what fans of their last effort Lanterns will think of their latest creative project.
Birds Of Tokyo also revealed that Friday, 4th November is the release date for Brace, and said they're planning on taking the new record on the road for a bunch of tour dates in November and December.
The band debuted a bunch of new songs at a special show in Sydney last night, including a track called Discoloured with The Jezabels' Hayley Mary. Check it out below, alongside Brace and the album's cover art.

Video: Muslim migrants trashing their accommodations in Germany
From American Thinker blog
Danke schoen, Deutschland! The Muslim invaders are showing their gratitude for the help Germany is providing them by trashing (literally) the free housing they are receiving. Via Gateway Pundit, we find this video of the resulting mess from LiveLeak:
The Germans are among the tidiest people on the planet. I know someone who studied at the University of Heidelberg and regaled me with stories of how her landlady would scrub the apartment before the putzfrau (cleaning lady) would come for weekly visits, wary of being shamed for having an unclean place.
Of course Muslims are taught that kufrs (infidels) owe them tribute because of the sheer wonderfulness of their faith, so a certain lack of gratitude is built into their religion.
I wonder how much longer Chancellor Merkel will persist in her efforts to bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslims to replace the Germans not being born?

"And that," said Professor Beckham, "concludes the lecture. Should you have missed anything, you'll find a summary of the main points, albeit somewhat simplified, in the Journal of Advanced Neurosurgery," writes Joe Bennett.
OPINION: The applause from the packed theatre was immediate and prolonged. When it finally subsided, the professor asked whether there were any questions.
Everyone in the hall leaned forward. They enjoyed the professor's lectures but they just loved question time.
Watching Professor Beckham sparring with the country's brightest minds made them feel as Athenians must have felt when Plato and Socrates slugged it out in the shade of the ancient Perineum.
"Professor Beckham," said a voice from the back, "what is your response to the observation by the prime minister of New Zealand that . . . "
But the rest of the question was inaudible because of the booing that arose throughout the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen," exclaimed Professor Beckham above the cacophony, "ladies and gentlemen", and he waited until silence returned to the lecture theatre.
"Have I been speaking to myself these last four hours? Are we to behave as if the frontal lobes and the neo-cortex had never evolved?
"Are we, in short, to be slaves to emotion? Come come, ladies and gentlemen. We are children of the enlightenment. If we do not champion the power of reason, who will?
"The rational mind fears nothing, so please, young man, complete your question."
"Thank you, professor," said the bearded youth.
"I merely wondered what you thought of the prime minister's observation that you were, and I quote, 'thick as batshit'."
All eyes were on the professor. He removed his glasses and wiped them for dramatic effect.
"Of bats I know little," he said. "My game was football."
Oh, how the students laughed.
"But I am serious," said the prof. "I am no chiropterologist. And I am even less of a coprochiropterologist," and here he paused to let the clever ones snigger.
"Modesty prevents me commenting on my own intelligence and I am not qualified to make any observation about the thickness or otherwise of batshit.
"I believe there are caves in South America where the accumulated guano reaches a considerable depth, but whether depth equates to thickness I shall have to leave to experts in the field.
"Nevertheless, it seems to me that the issue may not be so much chiroptological as linguistic. I suspect the prime minister is guilty of catachresis. Can anyone here tell me what catachresis is?"
A hand shot up in the front row.
"Anyone, that is, apart from my wife. No? Very well, enlighten us, darling Posh, if you would."
"Getting words wrong," said Mrs Beckham. "The prime minister confused the common simile 'thick as pig shit' with the equally common metaphor 'he went batshit', which implies that the party became enraged."
"Thank you, sweetness," said Prof Beckham, blowing his wife a kiss. "And there I think we might let the matter rest. But I will just add that there are remarkable similarities between myself and Prime Minister Key.
"We are both wealthy men. He made his money through foreign exchange, I through football. Neither activity is of any practical use to mankind though I think it would be fair to say that football gives more widespread pleasure.
"My wealth has enabled me to indulge my hobby of academic study. Mr Key's has enabled him to dabble in politics, where he has met with great success. But that success is founded not on policy, nor yet on his intelligence. It is founded on popularity.
"Mr Key has presented himself as a character with whom voters feel at ease. He comes across as a good joker. He is, if you wish, a personality. His appeal is emotional. And precisely the same was true of me. I was a good footballer. But there were many better. What singled me out was that people warmed to me. Girls found me pretty. Men felt they knew me. They aspired to be me.
"A similar business is playing itself out in the United States right now. The presidential election is not a contest of ideas. Neither candidate has presented any worth the name. It is a popularity contest.
"If I might use a neurological image, the most important appeal is to the reptilian amygdala, rather than to the frontal lobes. Always has been, always will be, world without end, amen. And that's it for today from Batshit Central. I hope to see you all again at next week's lecture. The subject will be rocket science."
The applause went on for minutes.

Home built muscle-up bar
(Quick note, you can also read this on my blog, www.zaccohn.com and see the pictures that go along with it. I didn't want to load this thread up with 17 pictures, so I left them out, but they really help a lot in understanding what I'm talking about. And what we went through is kind of funny.)
So Artem, Charlie and I have been working on muscleups lately, and we've been quite distraught that we can't practice them in our apartment. Well.. no longer. We ordered a pullup bar, and decided to start constructing. We decided the best place to put it would be in the stairwell, mostly because that was the only place that had enough room below and above. We pretty much immediately ran into a snag. We were using my new (and crappy) studfinder, and we discovered that the studs on one side of the wall were at 0ft, 2ft, 4ft, etc. On the other side of the wall, the studs were 1ft, 3ft, 5ft, etc... So obviously, we couldn't have our muscle-up bar be diagonal, so back to the drawing board. After a couple of days, we came up with an idea. After a quick email to Mark Toorock from Primal Fitness to get some carpentry advice (and to make sure that our contraption doesn't explode and kill all of us), multiple trips to Home Depot (we kept forgetting things), we came out with two 2x6s, a box of 4" wood screws, a new (and better) studfinder, a drill, and a pack of drill bits. So, without further adeiu: HOW TO BUILD YOUR MUSCLEUP BAR IN A STAIRWELL Step 1) Mark all the studs on both walls. This is important, because we discovered that our studs were off. Step 2) Buy lots of wood. Our studs were two feet apart, so we bought two 2x6's (one for each wall), six feet long. Step 3) Hold up one of the boards against the wall. Make sure it's level by using a level, and mark where you want to keep it. Step 4) Holding one board against the wall, mark where the studs cross the board. It would be best to cross three sets of studs, for maximum stability (This is important so the bar/wood does not rip off the wall and come crashing down, killing 7). Step 5) Once you know where the centers of the studs are behind the board, mark where you want to drill your screws. Three screws, vertically, per stud should do the trick. Step 6) With the board still up on the wall, drill your pilot holes where you want your screws to go, so the hole goes through both the board and the stud. Step 7) Now it gets tricky. We were having some issues getting the screws to screw in, so we ended screwing a second, slightly larger pilot hole about an inch into the boards through the original pilot hole. The smooth part of the screws, past the thread, was getting stuck in the wood. Step 8) Once your pilot holes are all drilled, and the pilot holes in the wood have been redrilled, screw two screws into the wood until they stick out about half an inch or so in the back. Insert these into their holes, and it should force the rest of the holes down the rest of the wood to line up. Step 9) Drill the rest of the screws into their respective holes. Note: Support the wood on the other end until more of the screws are in. We were having some... issues... with damaged screws and holes. Step 10) Repeat Steps 3-9 for the other wall. Make sure that the boards are on the same level. Step 11) Figure out where you want the muscleup bar. You don't want it too close to the top of the steps or else you'll have to worry about hitting steps when you're doing your pullups, or you'll have to worry about people walking into the bar. You also don't want it too close to the bottom of the steps, because (at least in our case) there's a wall there, inhibiting movement. Step 12) Put the bracket against the wood, mark the holes, and screw in the screws. Step 13) Repeat Step 12 on the other side. Step 14) Slide muscleup bar into place. Step 15) DO A MUSCLEUP. |

Re: Home built muscle-up bar
That is a cool tutorial, but may I suggest that you could use iron or galvanized steel piping for the bar. It should grip better than that slick bar, hold chalk better, and it will only cost $6-8 at Lowes.

Re: Home built muscle-up bar
It's good, but I just foresee a day when you jump down from the bar, and miss a landing and fall down the steps.
Wonder if you could make some sort of platform that could go over the steps and make a small level area under the bar. Perhaps make another pair of boards on the sides down where your feet would be, and put nice removable platform on those. Perhaps something attached to the wall on hinges... |

Re: Home built muscle-up bar
Thanks for posting this.
I can forsee this in my near future. |
Re: Home built muscle-up bar
Jeff- We're way ahead of you. I'm planning on building a platform that's about three steps long. It will rest on the high step, and has two supports on locking hinges (for easy storage) that will support the other side and go down to the third step or so.
It's safe for now though (as long as we're not doing anything to failure). If you swing just a tad you can get some solid footing on the steps and let go of the bar. |

So excited about gluten free french fries, and man did they taste delicious, but I got half way into them and discovered a fried batter bit. I panicked and my waiter ASSURED me the fries are gluten free, but I knew they didn't offer any gluten free fried items so most likely they are dipping in the same oil. BEWARE.
I have celiac disease....they have "gluten free steak frites". Psyched, right!?!?!?! It was really good, until I found the fried batter co-mingling with my so called "gluten free frites". I will not go back to Mint Bistro.
Multiple items that are listed gluten free on their menu are not. The mussels have a non GF house made lemoncello. The fries are listed as GF but are cooked with items that contain Gluten. I would eat here with great caution
Great gluten free selections right on the menu that really are gluten free options (and not merely menu items that they will modify to become gluten free). It seemed like half of the menu was gluten free. We sat at the bar and the bartender seemed very informs on how to handle a celiac gluten free order.
A variety of fine fresh food with gluten free marked right on the menu. many options including really good sushi.
