Indonesia with infinite possibilities

October 2011
Indonesia is a tropical country, and has been attracting much attention around the world as one of the post BRIC* countries. With its economy growing at a rate of 5 to 6 percent per year, the country is now producing about 40% of the GDP (gross domestic product) of the entire ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member countries. In mid-October 2011, I visited Sumitomo Corporation's operating companies in Indonesia to see how Sumitomo Corporation is involved in this economic growth.
* BRIC is a grouping acronym for Brazil, Russia, India and China, and refers to major emerging economies.
Robust growth of Indonesia
What surprised me when I first visited Jakarta, the capital and economic center of Indonesia, in mid-October were the heavy traffic jams. I remember that I had a hard time with traffic jams when I lived in Jakarta ten years ago, but the jams I experienced during my business trip this time were far greater. Not even mentioning commuter rush hours, traffic was at a standstill even during daytime hours, after 14:00 p.m. Such is Jakarta's famous reputation as the place with "the world's worst traffic jam." Even motorbikes, which are supposed to be able to move between cars, cannot do so because there are simply too many of them. During my stay in Jakarta, I often had difficulties in estimating just how long it would take to go to a building even just a short distance ahead.
It's no wonder the above situation is occurring since Indonesia is now the second biggest auto market in Asia, following Thailand. Currently, 8 million motorbikes and 800,000 automobiles are sold per year and sales are likely to reach 10 million units and 1 million units, respectively in a few years time. The Indonesian market is in fact dramatically expanding.
To ease severe traffic jams caused by the explosive growth of auto sales, there are several zones in central Jakarta where only vehicles carrying three or more passengers, including the drivers, can pass through. This measure to relieve traffic jams is called "3-in-1." While this regulation is inconveniencing many people, some are taking advantage of it in order to earn a living—as a temporary passenger "jockey." They give a thumbs-up before control zones, like a hitchhiker, and receive money by riding in a car that is not carrying a sufficient number of passengers to meet the requirement. I didn't see any jockeys because I was fortunate enough to avoid travel during rush hour, but I was impressed by the toughness of people who transform regulations into an opportunity for business.
At the same time, despite the dramatic increase of cars, I felt that the air had become remarkably cleaner. Ten years ago, most of bikers in Jakarta were covering their mouths with a bandana to avoid breathing in exhaust gas. During my stay, however, I rarely saw black exhaust gas or people wearing bandana masks. Cleaner air despite worsening traffic jams. The only thing that remained unchanged since my last visit was the Jakarta-standard passenger capacity of bikes, which carry four people.
Besides traffic jams, I noticed another feature of Indonesian roads―too many Japanese cars, which made me feel as if I was in Japan. Reportedly, over 90% of the vehicles on the streets are Japanese cars. And Sumitomo Corporation is in fact contributing greatly to the production and distribution of Japanese cars in Indonesia.
Roads are clogged, day and night. Jams often worsen when it rains.
EJIP, an industrial park that supports economic growth
In less than an hour by car, after leaving central Jakarta, you will see seven industrial complexes along the highway. It is Asia's largest industrial district, where about 3,000 companies are providing over 1 million jobs. East Jakarta Industrial Park (EJIP)detail, for which Sumitomo Corporation serves as an agency, occupies a corner of the district. EJIP was established in 1990 as the first private-capital industrial park in Indonesia. Sumitomo Corporation's Overseas Industrial Park Department takes charge of all of its operations, from selection of the site to solicitation of tenant companies, and takes care of tenants after they move in. Indonesia, with a population of more than 200 million people and an annual economic growth of 5 to 6%, is one of Asia's largest markets. In recent years, companies from various business categories, particularly car-related companies, have been moving into the industrial park in order to access this huge market. For these tenant companies, the industrial park is a finely-tuned support system that holds to its motto of "The relationship starts when a contract is signed." It has developed both hard infrastructure, including water treatment facilities and optical fiber cables, and soft infrastructure, such as Japanese restaurants and a DVD rental store. Additionally, in light of the situation where roads linking the industrial complexes have not developed despite the increasing logistics between them, the EJIP is asking the Indonesian government to develop a logistics network to connect the North, South, East and West.

The Super Steel Group rapidly growing with both domestic demand and re-exports
With increased economic development, Suryacipta City of Industry, where Sumitomo Corporation serves as a sales agent, nearly tripled its tenants in the past one year. At this large industrial park, P.T. Super Steel Karawang (SSK)detail has operated its Karawang Plant for its coil center business since 1999. The plant cuts steel coils as raw materials into required sizes for customers to press. In addition to SSK, Sumitomo Corporation jointly operates other coil center, P.T. Super Steel Indah, with a local partners. A total of three Sumitomo Corporation plants account for about 40% of Japanese coil centers in terms of processing capacity and quantity share. The three plants are in full production to provide supplies to industries that have increasing demands, such as automobile, motorbike, home appliances, and electronic device industries. The plants are enhancing their facilities to meet demand, in particular, the demand for booming car-related industries. SSK is quickly building a new factory, which will house the company's second blanking press (a facility to press steel for automobiles), next to its Karawang Plant. Other than a large plant capacity, SSK's other strength is the fact that the plant is the only bonded coil center. By taking advantage of two pillars, Indonesia's domestic demands, particularly from car-related industries, and re-export from Indonesia to the world, SSK will continue to contribute to a stable supply of high quality products.

P.T. Sumisho Global Logistics Indonesia, an unsung hero of the auto industry
Products and parts manufactured in industrial parks and other locations in Jakarta are transported by P.T. Sumisho Global Logistics Indonesiadetail. As an integrated global logistics service provider covering logistics center operations to customs clearance for import and export, it plays a crucial role in Indonesia's transportation industry that has been traditionally dominated by individual business owners. Particularly after the recovery from the Lehman failure, the company has been receiving a great number of inquiries due to its readiness as a general logistics company.
The company is carrying out the "milk run" distribution operation for auto manufacturers while responding flexibly to daily traffic jams. Milk-run is a "round trip" logistics system which facilitates both collection and distribution. Sumisho Global Logistics Indonesia continuously monitors its trucks, which are equipped with a global positioning system (GPS), by using location management monitors, as they pick up parts from suppliers and deliver them to auto manufacturers around the clock. This system allows the company to deliver parts just in time. Auto manufacturers need tens of thousands of parts to make even one vehicle, but many of them carry stocks for only several-hours worth of auto production. Therefore, the milk run delivery system plays the role of the unsung hero who works behind the scenes to support the explosive car demands in Indonesia.
Supporting smooth production and logistics by slipping through traffic jams
One of the company's centers, Karawang Center, which is located in the industrial park, has more functions than an ordinary logistics center. It assembles motorbikes and sells import stocks, mainly for Japanese motorbike and auto parts manufacturers. Currently, the development of new factories and the expansion of existing factories are increasing in Jakarta along with the growth of car-related industries. That move is intensifying employee headhunting; however, the company focuses on developing human resources with sensitivity and maintaining and improving motivation, rather than getting caught in a wage war. The company employs about 550 people from diverse racial and religious backgrounds, which is typical in Indonesia, and therefore faces difficulties in management. Due to years of effort put forth by the company, exemplary local staff members have developed to perform management duties admirably. Additionally, Director Takashi Koide works on equipment production to cut costs and optimize the center's operation. Inside the vast center, assembly facilities that the company jointly developed with customers, as well as internally designed and produced equipment and devices for cargo handling, play important roles.
On my way to the airport after finishing a series of visits to the operating companies, I became stuck in another traffic jam. I couldn't remember how many traffic jams I encountered during my stay. Behind the world's worst traffic jam lies an Indonesian economy that is fast-growing with domestic demands and exports, and companies trying to meet a variety of needs. After traffic jams ease up, probably years in the future, what role will Indonesia play in the world economy and industry? How will Sumitomo Corporation be involved? I wanted to re-visit the country at the end of my business trip to Indonesia.

Advertisement Photo by LeoSynapse.A reader over at the financial blog Free Money Finance shared a tip on using your local library to save money on everything from museum visits to sporting events: Advertisement Where I live you go to the library and "check out" memberships to local attractions like the local museums, zoo, and the local botanical gardens & sculpture park. Sometimes they also have tickets to performances (ballet, civic theater, etc) and sporting events (baseball, hockey...) as well. The attraction memberships admit up to six people; the performances are usually pairs of tickets. There are restrictions (like you can only visit each venue/event once per year) but there's no charge. You just check them out with your library card.We thought that sounded almost too good to be true so we hit up library websites to see what the deal was. It turns on that you can, in fact, use your library card to get museum passes and more. You'll have to check your local library out but here are some examples we found scattered across the web:Museum, Zoo, and Theater passes from the Boston LibraryMuseum passes from the Chicago LibraryMuseum and Zoo passes from the Twin Cities Public LibrariesZoo passes from the Toronto Public LibraryThe above examples were just a tiny sliver of the offerings we found while searching Google using terms like "public library museum passes" or "library free event passes". If you don't find anything through your local library, check out libraries that serve your region or a nearby big city. Sponsored Have a tip for scoring hidden deals like these?

1 of the bigger problems from that was the fact that they made a big thing of aipom wanting to do contests(the reason it was traded) and then have ambipom given away. At the very least if they really had to make space for togekiss theys should've found a better way to get rid of Ambipom maybe let it train with dawns mother or something contest related.
As for palpitoad i really hope it itsn't released.All they need to do with it is give it some shots showing how it interacts with others and maybe an episode in which it stars and it would be ok.

Chesterfield Cigarettes Single sided sign 1950's
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
Sign has a few spots but priced accordingly. Overall beautiful piece of Americana Tobacco Advertising Big Clean Taste. Chesterfield is a brand of cigarette made by Altria. It was named for Chesterfield County, Virginia. It was one of the most recognized brands of the early 20th century, but sales have declined steadily over the years. Chesterfields were originally produced by the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. In 1999, Liggett sold the L&M, Lark and Chesterfield brands to Philip Morris Companies Inc. The brand is still being made today; it is still popular in Europe, but has been absent from U.S. advertising for many years. In the 1930s and 1940s, Chesterfield sponsored a popular radio program, the Chesterfield Hour, which featured big bands such as those of Paul Whiteman, Glenn Miller and Harry James.[1] Liggett & Myers sponsored Dragnet, both on radio and on TV, during the 1950s. The 1954 theatrical version of Dragnet also had Chesterfield product placements, such as advertisements in scenes taking place at drug stores and news counters, or cigarette vending machines. Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday was seen smoking Chesterfields in the movie and TV series. Also in the 1950s, Gunsmoke on both radio and TV was similarly sponsored primarily by Chesterfields and L&Ms. At the end of The Twilight Zone, for several seasons Rod Serling frequently smoked and promoted Chesterfields. In the 1940s and 1950s Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Arthur Godfrey were among Chesterfield's official spokesmen, Chesterfield being one of the primary sponsors of the radio and TV programs of these stars during that time.

Digg that Souljah weather girl
Things Men Wish Women Knew, Dancing Weather Girl, Laughably Misleading Ads, 9 Year Old Beats Guitar Hero on EXPERT, Blue Angels, Hello Kitty Contact Lenses, Trippiest Simpsons Art Ever
Is it February yet? Alex and Kevin continue their sobriety madness, with not-so-exotic drinks. The boys cozy up to a cup of a Theraflu-like liquid, and good old fashioned H20 in this second sober episode of 2008. Needless to say, they miss beer and it's social lubrication. A lot.
At the top of the discussion this episode...women! In a Mens Health article with nearly three thousand diggs, guys share what they wish their gals knew. Alex and Kevin admit they love a girl who wears layers, buttons, and...sports a Brazilian wax? What they don't like: penciled in eyebrows, too much makeup, and an indecisive chick. Take note, ladies! Digg this story.
Speaking of qualities that bode well with the fellas, Diggnation gives kudos to this Jersey girl who busts the Souljah Boy dance in the middle of her weather report. She has the right stuff, and unlike the Naked News, this girl is hot with her clothes intact. Kevin predicts that dancing anchors may be the wave of future news programming. Digg this story.
The 10 Most Laughably Misleading Ads actually turns out to have some useful items after all. Just kidding. The MagneScribe pen, Handy Peel, and the Easy Toothbrush are pretty lame. Who thought brushing your teeth could be hard? Then there is My Lil' Reminder. Marketing people, don't put Lil' in the beginning of your product name unless it relates to Lil' Kim, Lil' Bow Wow, or any other rapper. Digg this story.
One thing that is "Lil'" and rocks hard is this 9-year-old kid who beat the most difficult Guitar Hero song on expert. Alex and Kevin agree that if their progeny could be as rad as that kid, they could die happy people. Digg this story.
In a video taken at Fleet Week in SF, the Blue Angels 5 make an *extremely* low transonic pass, which leads to an argument between the guys over the cone of vapor when a jet breaks the sound barrier. Digg this story.
Contact lenses seem to be losing their momentum since horn-rimmed specs have become more fashionable (thanks to every emo kid on the planet). To combat this movement, the Hello Kitty folks have created Hello Kitty contact lenses. Kevin and Alex imagine looking into a chicks eyes, only to find the adored cat from Asia (creepy indeed). Hello Kitty seems to also be moving into menswear. Will Kevin buy a Hello Kitty sweatshirt? Digg this story.
Another cartoon which won't be coming to a contact lens near you--the Simpsons. Artist Spacecoyote on deviantART created a drawing of the Simpson universe, which showed a stylized version of everyone's favorite cartoon family. Alex and Kevin find it to be pretty rad! Digg this story.
Alex and Kevin peep a Diggnation fan Jake's girlfriend sporting a Diggnation shirt while she's taking a jog...with a beer. Is it February yet?
Matthew goes behind bars in his Diggnation "mob" shirt, which prompts Kevin and Alex to ponder whether a Diggnation gang is in order.

Q: âTailgating is rude and also can be dangerous,â said Murrieta resident Grace Parker. âBut is it actually a violation â" something you can get a ticket for?â
A: Tailgating is illegal. Itâs called âfollowing too closelyâ in section 21703 of the CVC, which states: âThe driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicle, and the traffic upon, and condition of, the roadway.â
Whatâs âreasonable and prudentâ would vary with conditions at a given time, and be subject to the judgment and discretion of a peace officer issuing such a citation. According to the Web site BestAttorney.com: âA driver cited for tailgating will â" if convicted â" have negligent-operator points applied to his/her driving record and pay a fine â" likely $400 or more when court costs and fees are applied.â
The standard for determining tailgating is subjective, the site stated, noting: âThere's no set distance to explain reasonable and prudent, it depends on road conditions and officer observation. In traffic court, the issue can evolve into the issuing officerâs opinion vs. the ticketed motoristâs opinion. Typically, the judge will side with the officer. Cops are extremely busy, and few judges will believe that the officer pulled over a driver and issued a ticket without a good reason.
âRegardless of the speed youâre driving, the two-second rule is a good rule for judging safe distance behind another vehicle, the site said: âIf thereâs a two to three second gap between your car and the one in front of you, you should be far enough away â" provided the roadway is dry and visible is normal.â The National Safety Council recommends a three-second rule â" plus an additional one second per factor of driving difficulty (poor visibility, inclement weather, etc.).
Q: Thereâs too many cars out there with no front license plate,â said Riverside resident Robert George. âMost people believe two plates are required on a car. But is it actually a law?â
A: According to the CVCâs section 5200, when two license plates are issued a vehicle, theyâre to be attached to the vehicle for which they were issued, with one in the front and the other in the rear.
âDealers are required to provide frames for both plates and advise consumers of the requirement for both plates to be attached,â said Riverside Traffic Bureau commander Sgt. Skip Showalter. âCommercial trucks only require they be placed on the front of the vehicle as the trailer, which also requires a plate, would likely block a plate attached to the rear of the truck.
âCitations are issued for this violation often. Usually, itâs in conjunction with a moving violation as officers rarely stop a vehicle just to cite for the missing front license plate. It also should be noted that our cityâs parking enforcement folks cite for this on a daily basis.â
Q:Which hybrid and electric vehicles qualify for the Department of Motor Vehiclesâ green and white clean air vehicle decals which allow solo drivers in those vehicles to use carpool lanes?
A. For a current list of vehicles that qualify for a green (partial zero emissions) or white (100 percent zero emissions) decal in California, check the California Air Resources Web site www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/carpool/carpool.htm. The decals expire Jan. 1, 2019, with no limit on white decals issued, but green decals limited to the first 40,000 vehicles purchased or leased. The green decal count was approaching 24,500 last month.

Engagement Session
This couple is adorable. And not just because they happen to be college sweethearts with one of the cutest proposal stories you'll ever read (seriously). No, they also happen to be a duo that just glows with happiness. A stunning couple who just can't stop smiling, can't stop hugging and can't stop laughing with an energy that will brighten your entire Thursday. See their entire e-session captured by Sarah DeShaw right here in the full gallery.
From the Bride… James and I are fortunate enough to have met our freshman year of college. We remained friends until love struck and we started dating our senior year. New Year's Eve 2012, we decided just the two of us would spend New Year's Eve together. After a rainy day of hiking the trails along the Guadalupe River, we got dressed up for a "fancy" Tex-Mex dinner at the local spot. We bought fireworks from a stand on the way back to the cabin. After shooting them all, James said he had one more surprise firework in the car. When he came back, he had a little box instead and got down on one knee! The whole night was filled with the sound of fireworks in the distance and champagne in our glasses. We ended up dancing the night away at a local New Year's Eve dance and having the best time!
James has grown up vacationing in St. Simons and we knew this would be a meaningful place to take some wonderful shots. Sarah DeShaw Photography could not have been a better fit for us. We were able to take photos at Lovely Lane Chapel, Avenue of the Oaks, and conclude with sunset on East Beach. We had so much fun and made sure to incorporate our NYE engagement with a champagne toast on the beach. We can't wait for the big day this April!

Created by Jennifer L. B. Anderson, Ph.D., SERC, Carleton College.
Characteristics of Effective Professional-Development Programs
Quoted directly from The Role of Scientists in the Professional Development of Science Teachersp.2, NRC, 1996 :
- Scientists, teachers, and administrators collaborated in the program's development and implementation.
- Participating teachers were treated as professionals.
- The program was designed to meet important school-based needs.
- Opportunities were provided for continuing involvement among participants.
- Evaluation was a continuous process and was used to improve the program.
- New partnerships, projects, and networks were stimulated among participating teachers and between teachers and scientists.
- Program directors used effective publicity and recruitment strategies.
- The program was encouraged and supported by school districts and school administrators.
- Effective dissemination strategies were used.
- Program directors had practical knowledge of the process of change.
- A charismatic person or group provided strong leadership.
"Whatever form a professional development program takes and whatever organization sponsors it, it will be more effective if it is institutionalized to provide continuity and ensure long-term support. This message is vital."

Aug. 15, 2012
LOGAN, Utah - The Aggies begin the 2012 season on Friday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m., at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah against in-state rival Utah.
Overview Finally. The 2011 Utah State soccer team used a mix of seasoned veterans and eager newcomers to make history. The Aggies won their first WAC Tournament title and made their appearance in their first NCAA Tournament, producing seven all-Western Athletic Conference honorees.
Having won three WAC regular-season titles in the last four years, the 2012 Utah State soccer team looks to close out their eight-year stay in the WAC in style, despite losing four all-WAC honorees, including two-time WAC Offensive Player of the Year Shantel Flanary.
"Overall, the 2011 season was a special season in our program's history. Going into 2012, our big focus is to take it one day at a time and make sure that we are better every day than we were the day before. We have some holes to fill. We had some fantastic players graduate, but I am really excited about the corps that we have. It is really about becoming the best team that the 2012 team can be," USU head coach Heather Cairns said.
After going 15-5-2 last season with a 5-1-1 conference record, the Aggies set a school record for wins. This season, Utah State was picked to finish second in the WAC Preseason Coaches' Poll behind WAC newcomer Denver.
This is the first season for the new-look WAC as Fresno State, Nevada and Hawai`i depart. Entering the conference this season for soccer will be Denver, Seattle, UTSA and Texas State. UT Arlington is also joining the WAC but does not have soccer.
For the first time, Utah State will host the WAC Soccer Tournament November 1-4. The top six teams in the league will face off in Logan at Chuck and Gloria Bell Soccer Field.
"I am really looking forward to hosting the conference tournament this year. I think that will be a big plus for to be at home during that week, assuming that we qualify," Cairns said. "I think that the WAC this year is going to be very competitive, maybe more so than it has ever been because there is less of a gap between teams."
Notes -- The Aggies will play several teams that finished in the top of their conferences last season, including Portland State and Northern Colorado (T-1st, Big Sky), Creighton (2nd, Missouri Valley Conference), Denver (T-2nd, Sun Belt Conference) and Wyoming (3rd, Mountain West Conference).
-- This season, Utah State returns senior defender Natalie Norris, who was the 2010 and 2011 WAC Defensive Player of the Year and sophomore defender Taryn Rose, who was the 2011 Freshman of the Year. Also back for the Aggies is junior midfielder Kendra Pemberton, who was named first-team all-WAC in 2011.
Forwards The Aggie offense will have the tough task of having to replacing Shantel Flanary, the program's all-time points leader who ended her storied Utah State career with 85 points scored. USU will look to a trio of sophomores for offensive firepower in Libby Lundquist, Lauren Roundy and Jade Tarver.
What Cairns Said About The Forwards... "In the forward position, in particular, we are going to look a little different. We are looking for more minutes from Jade Tarver as her health improves. Libby Lundquist is also coming back from an ACL injury. Lauren Roundy has done a fantastic job of stepping into that forward role after a year's experience."
Notes -- The Aggies return 24 of their 34 goals scored from last season. Flanary is the only goal scorer from last season not returning for 2012. Pemberton is the top returning goal scorer back with seven goals.
-- Junior Mari Miyashiro will see time as both a forward and a midfielder. The Hawaii native scored three goals last season in an injury-shortened season. Utah State will also look to get help from freshmen Danielle Gaztimbide and Kaitlyn Wilcox.
Midfielders The Utah State midfield brings back three starters in junior Jennifer Flynn, Pemberton and Miyashiro, but will have to replace four-time all-WAC honoree Chandra Salmon-Christensen. Both Flynn and Pemberton both started over 20 matches last season for the Aggies.
What Cairns Said About The Midfielders... "We return three starters in Jennifer Flynn, Kendra Pemberton and Mari Miyashiro. Our attacking midfield is looking pretty strong, like a good corps of returners with experience."
Notes -- Sophomore Kylie Dibb and junior Shay Haddow return to the USU midfield. Larsen saw the most time of the trio last season, playing in 15 matches.
-- The midfield welcomes local talent junior transfer Robin Hansen this season who comes to Utah State from Iowa Western Community College as the native of Hyde Park, Utah native returns to Cache Valley.
Defenders The strong tradition of the Utah State backline will continue this season with the return of both Norris and Rose. The Aggies allowed only 15 goals in 22 matches last season.
What Cairns Said About The Defenders... "In the defense, obviously we are very excited to return Natalie Norris, the WAC Defensive Player of the Year, and Taryn Rose, the Freshman of the Year. We are excited to have that corps back as well as Jessica Hoskin and Brooke Larsen who had a lot of experience last year."
Notes -- The Aggies have always been known for their solid defensive play,and the 2012 version of Utah State looks to continue that strong tradition. Last season, the blue and white allowed only 15 goals for a stellar goals against average of 0.66.
-- Three of the seven Aggies to earn all-WAC honors last season came from the Utah State backfield, including Norris, Rose and departing senior Summer Tillotson. This season, another Tillotson will roam the USU backline as Summer's sister, Jackie Tillotson, transfers from UNLV.
Goalkeepers Three-year starter and WAC Tournament MVP Molli Merrill will be difficult to replace in net for Utah State this season. Senior Ashlyn Mulford is the only of the quartet of Aggies to have seen time in a USU uniform.
What Cairns Said About The Goalkeepers... "It is important for the back four to gel quickly because we are going to have a new face in goal. Regardless of who is in goal, we will have a new face replacing Molli Merrill, so it will be great to have that experience in front of them."
Notes -- Mulford played in two games for Utah State last season, allowing only two goals. She has a career GAA of only 1.30. Mulford played the last three seasons with Merrill who earned first-team all-WAC honors as a senior last season.
--The Aggies have three other netminders that will join Mulford in the goalkeeping corps in a trio of freshmen, redshirt freshman Kassidi Nudd, along with true freshmen Jeannie Woller and Natalie Stoven.

Love's Secret - Poem by William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!
Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.

I loved this as I read entirely differently to the previous comment. I am probably wrong but to me it felt he had confessed love to a person who had not shown any affection to him. It was almost as if she was mildly horrified at the thought. The tie up line I find most interesting. Took her with a sigh. A sigh of possibly relish. Or even disappointment.... Just my first reaction as ever. Ty karen (Report) Reply -

I have to add Donne to my last blog. The three greatest poets, in my opinion, are Shakespeare, Donne and Blake - with Larkin a possible fourth. What Blake is deprecating is the lover who cannot stop talking about his love instead of getting on with it - a sure sign of impotence! The woman is so frustrated that she takes a passer by on sight.

Common chickweed, henbit, and purple deadnettle are cool-season weeds we usually see in crop fields during the fall and winter.
However, other weeds, such as dandelions, have become more prevalent in recent years. Dandelions are generally considered a major lawn or pasture weed but are increasingly found in grain crop fields.
The expansion of dandelion populations in field crops is likely due to fewer applications of soil-residual herbicides along with no-till crop production practices.

As Asuma and his team depart for the Fire Temple, they take a detour passed Kurenai's apartment, who sees them go. Meanwhile, Naruto and his small group of shadow clones are unable to affect the waterfall they are training with. Naruto says he needs to use more shadow clones and thus a larger waterfall if he is to make any progress, but Kakashi advises against it. Naruto insists that he needs to catch up to Sasuke, so Kakashi instructs Yamato to make the waterfall bigger. Naruto trains through the night, motivated by Sasuke, and is eventually able to stop the waterfall with his Wind Release.

Comeback Comes Up Short
Pistons rally to force OT, but Anderson's 2 late triples lead to 3rd straight loss
The story of the game in Pistons red, white and blue
WHITE HOT – The Pistons, playing uphill all night, finally drew even with New Orleans with eight minutes left in regulation before eventually losing 111-106 in overtime as Ryan Anderson hit two straight triples after going 2 of 10 from the arc to that point. The Pistons held New Orleans scoreless for six minutes to tie the game at 83. They had two chances to win at the end of regulation, but Brandon Jennings missed two jump shots. Greg Monroe scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in his return to his hometown to lead the Pistons. Anderson finished with 22 for the Pelicans.
BLUE COLLAR – Rodney Stuckey returned after missing 2½ games with tendinitis in his left knee and picked up where he left off. The Sixth Man of the Year candidate was instrumental in the Pistons rallying back from double-digit deficits in both the first and second quarters with 10 first-half points on just four shots, hitting 4 of 4 free throws. Stuckey finished with 20 points in 33 minutes but missed overtime after injuring his hand/wrist late in the fourth quarter.
RED FLAG – The free throw line hurt the Pistons again as they missed 10 of 27 attempts, including four straight misses after tying the game at 83 in the fourth quarter. Andre Drummond didn't contribute to the misses, not attempting any foul shots. Greg Monroe's otherwise superb game was marred by a 2 of 7 night at the line. The Pistons remain last in the NBA in free-throw percentage at 67 percent. New Orleans, meanwhile, hit 26 of 32 foul shots.
But come back the Pistons did. Outrebounded by 38-22 through three quarters, they grabbed 21 in the final quarter and overtime and closed the gap by half. They shut down the paint that New Orleans guards Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans penetrated repeatedly in wracking up 83 points through three quarters. And they rode Greg Monroe, who grew up down the street, to put themselves in position to win.
They might have, too, but Brandon Jennings, whose hot shooting in the first half kept the Pistons from being run out of the building, missed two long jump shots on the final possession of regulation and Ryan Anderson – an elite 3-point shooter who missed 10 of 12 shots behind the arc in regulation – nailed two big ones in overtime to send the Pistons to their third straight loss after they won four straight last week.
For much of the night, it never looked like they'd come close to needing an overtime. New Orleans scored on 14 of its first 17 possessions to take a 29-18 lead in the first eight-plus minutes as Holiday, Gordon and Tyreke Evans – who sprained his ankle last Friday and was supposed to miss a minimum of one week – penetrated repeatedly to set up easy scores.
"It's on Greg and I, we've got to figure it out," Andre Drummond said. "We can't continue to let guys come in our paint and do those type of things to us. It's a building process. We're going to figure it out. It's not going to happen for too long."
The Pistons had stretches where they would put it together at both ends, enough to stay close. They kept the Pelicans scoreless on six straight possessions to pull within a point after one quarter with a 10-0 run, then a 7-0 run late in the second quarter and a 12-0 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters kept eating into New Orleans leads.
Against all odds, they appeared the fresher team headed to overtime. But Anderson's triples and New Orleans' superior foul shooting spared the Pelicans a home giveaway and kept the Pistons from completing a comeback that would have erased the sting of Tuesday's lopsided home loss to Minnesota.
"We can't put ourselves in the hole like that."
- Greg Monroe on the lossFull game quotes
"We got a little better on-the-ball defense," Maurice Cheeks said. "In the first half, they were breaking us down defensively. They were getting inside the paint too easily. In the second half, we closed off their bigs, got a lot better stopping the dribble and we closed off the paint a little more."
For all of that, they might have won if not for a few things that surely made the trip home a little more troubling. The Pistons again misfired too often at the foul line, missing 10, including a 2 of 7 showing from Monroe that put a damper on his 28-point homecoming.
"We can't put ourselves in the hole like that," Monroe said. "I missed some free throws. Technically, if I make one more free throw, we win the game. There were some good things we did, but we didn't win the game."
The other haunting specter was getting Rodney Stuckey back from knee tendinitis only to lose him to a thumb injury. Stuckey scored 20 to nicely supplement Monroe's big night and Jennings' 25 points, but he was on the bench in overtime with a bag of ice strapped to his hand. The injury happened late in regulation and it was clear Stuckey was hurting when he took a dribble handoff from Jennings with about 12 seconds left in regulation only to pass it right back.
"Not having him out there was tough, having our bulldozer out there to get us some fouls down the stretch," Drummond said. "But it happens. We've got to figure it out."
They'll get to do it at home, and against the backsliding Brooklyn Nets, on Friday after a much-needed day off after playing seven games over the last 10 days.

"The herd's tetchy as a teased snake tonight. Git yer hayburner over t' the south pasture and corral them wayward doggies."
Not hard to guess which genre of fiction a line like that might belong to.
The "corral" in this sentence is a staple of the literature of and about the American West. It looks as though it may be one of the many horse-steals from Mexican Spanish, an etymological partner of "bronco," "adobe," "buckaroo," "arroyo," and the like. And it may be. The Spanish "_corral_," a word for an enclosed place, starts to show up in English with some regularity in the 1820s and 1830s (Darwin mentions it in The Voyage of the Beagle ) A century earlier, however, English speakers had already borrowed the Dutch krall, a word for a native village surrounded by a stockade. Krall, though, probably derives from the Spanish/Portuguese corral, so the two streams leading to the cowboy word flow from a single source.
A corral in the Old West is often defined by a rail fence. Could this be the reason that some web authors write "corrail?" Examples:
Description of video: "So we corrailed some staff, Jay Mohr went to work and the first episode of Conference Room Comedy is born."
TIME magazine article: "Corwin corrailed a crew of Hollywood professionals "
Gaming forum: "We just have to see how well the NWO patch fixes this problem with the game, because it is a problem that 95% of the playerbase is corrailed in empire space."
A Jain sermon: "I saw a movie called The Slaughterhouse Reform Bill in which the 'Kosher Kill' was exposed without commentary. Cows, calves, lambs were corrailed down a narrow corridor. "
Forum post: "I am saying you are being corrailed by those who you are against and there are implants within OWS"
Post on global warming site: "If I understand Professor Ravetz, he is saying that if climate science was recognised as PNS to begin with, we would not have allowed ourselves to be corrailed into panic policy making, and advocacy masquerading as science – the prostitution of science itself."
Wrestling forum: "There are forces at work in Hardkore World of the rauckus-causing variety! Too wild to be corrailed, too powerful to be impeded, and more probably than not too drunk to realize you are in our way!!! "
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

I was asked by Shruti and Emily to participate in the Know Thy Machine Blog Hop, and today I'm excited to tell you a little bit about the sewing machine that I use!
1. What machine(s) do you have? Brand and Model.
I use a Brother HE240 sewing machine.
2. When and where did you buy it? What were the reasons for selecting this(these) particular model(s). What was its approximate cost.
I bought my refurbished sewing machine online at Ken's Sewing Center. I did a lot of research on sewing machines before I bought this one (I was previously using a non-vintage Singer, which was absolutely terrible and I can't believe that I actually sewed with it that long…constant tension issues despite being taken in numerous times). The model I decided on was previously available on HSN (Home Shopping Network). It got a ton of great reviews on both HSN and Amazon, so I felt confident in my choice. I didn't have a lot of money to spend, so I felt that I was getting a lot of bang for my buck.
3. What do you like about your machine? Have you named it? Have you made a cover for it?
When I first unpacked my machine, I didn't set up the foot pedal right away. My machine has a button that starts and stops the needle. To this day, I still haven't used the foot pedal. Maybe it sounds weird, but I really enjoy using that little button. I'm a bit on the short side, so when previously using the pedal, the muscles in my foot would cramp up a bit at times, so I'm happy to have my little button.
I haven't named my machine, although I did make a cover for it nearly a couple of years ago. Making a cover for it was clearly nonsense though. I use my sewing machine every day, and I just can't justify taking off and stowing that cover constantly.
4. Does your machine give you any problems? Could you tell us a few?
I don't have any problems using it. It does have an embroidery feature, which I will get to one of these days…maybe…just too busy sewing to stop and read the manual. 😉 I do wish it had a bit of a longer arm so I could manuever bags through it more easily, but whatever.
5. What do you sew on it mainly? Quilts, Clothes, Bags etc. How much time do you spend sewing on it? What are the features of the machine that help you improve your work?
I make all of the above. I probably spend a couple hours sewing on it per night, after my kids are in bed. Honestly, I have a reliable machine, and that's all that I can ask for. The bells and whistles are nice, but as long as it can sew a straight stitch, that's good enough for me.
6. What advice would you give others when deciding about which machine to buy?
Do your research before you buy. Look online, visit a brick-and-mortar store and try some out. As you read in this interview, I don't really use the extra features like the 100 different stitches or the embroidery (yet). Unless you're planning on doing some lavish stitching, don't let all the extras tempt you, especially if you're on a budget. Keep in mind what you will be sewing most often and tailor your machine to fit your needs.
7. Will you share with us a special memory associated with your machine?
I can't think of anything off the top of my head, although I have a funny story about a back-up machine that my friend sent me. She gave it to me right before we moved, and so I didn't feel ready to take it out of the box until my sewing room was situated (since we had to do a lot of remodeling; I wanted it to stay safe). My friend visited the summer after we moved, and I had the machine all set up so she could show me how to use it. The little light wouldn't come on, so we moved to the other room and started snacking on some cheesecake. A loud boom came from my sewing room, and we ran into the room as the sewing machine started smoking! I always laugh about this because I really do think that she tried to set my house on fire. 😉
8. If you had unlimited resources in the world, which machine would you choose to buy and why?
Ummm…probably a Tula Pink Bernina, lol.
If you made it this far, please visit 13 Woodhouse Road to be eligible for some nifty prizes!! 🙂

Good morning TexMessagers! What do you think of Louie Gohmert's most recent comments?
In his 10-minute interview on conservative talk radio show "Voice of Freedom," Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, spoke against gun control and continued his strong advocation for the second amendment. True to his reputation, Gohmert didn't hold any of his opinions back. When asked about the "end game" of those who are against firearms, Gohmert said:
"It is for our protection and the founders' quotes make that very, very clear and including against a government that would run amok. You know, we've got some people that think Sharia Law ought to be the law of the land, forget the Constitution. But the guns are there, that Second Amendment is there, to make sure all of the rest of the amendments are followed."
Linking the Muslim code of ethics, or Sharia Law, with gun control has landed Gohmert in hot water with some liberals.
On MSNBC's "Hardball," Chris Matthews criticized the congressman for "sounding the conspiracy alarm bell."

In addition, the Interfaith Alliance has sent a letter to Gohmert regarding his "continued demonization of Islam."
"Your implication that the Second Amendment must be strongly upheld so that Americans can arm themselves against Sharia, Muslim religious law, is troubling," President of Interfaith Alliance Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy said.
The letter asked Gohmert to focus his attention on the second amendment, rather than derailing the policy with what he called "misguided bigotry."

Revision as of 18:54, 4 February 2013
The transporter is a device which allows for the movement of people or objects from one location to another via teleportation. It has seen usage in every generation of Star Trek, though not without some changes.
There are several seemingly-conflicted accounts of how exactly the transporter functions. The basic theory as to the function of a transporter is something like this:
- Determine the target object's location using sensors or manually specified coordinates.
- Generate a "pattern" of the target's structure with "quantum-level resolution".
- Disassemble the object into its constituent particles.
- Transmit the particles to a destination.
- Using the pattern obtained earlier, re-construct the object from the constituent particles "at the quantum level".
- The re-formed object is functionally identical to the original.
There is some question around the second step in this process and what exactly constitutes a "pattern"; some events indicate that a detailed scan is not needed. On several occasions a transport has proceeded without a complete scan of the target, just an accurate knowledge of its location.[1] This seems to invalidate the need for a scan before transport, particularly since in the case of ST2, the item being beamed was the Genesis Device - for which a complete schematic or pattern was not known.
However, in TNG's "Elementary, My Dear Data", when trying to beam a holographic object off of the grid, Geordi and Data indicated that the pattern signal was not strong enough, and for this reason they tried to employ pattern enhancers to aid with the beaming process.
Popular Acceptance
An important implication of the nature of transporters is that the original object/person is destroyed in the process, with the "transported" subject at the destination being an exact copy of the original. Evidence of this can be seen in the fact that transporter accidents have created extra replicas of their affected "targets"-- such as James T. Kirk[2] and William Riker[3]. Consequently, a whole host of ethical questions can be raised as to whether or not the transporter in effect murders its subjects.
In Star Trek: Enterprise, Captain Jonathan Archer expressed his dislike of the transport system. Although it did exist and function at that time, it was not considered safe, quite like the first boiler-cars. Archer said that he wouldn't trust it with his life or the lives of his men. This was perhaps a justified position, as more than one attempted transport produced horrific results, such as blending a man and his surroundings.
In the next chronological generation, Star Trek: The Original Series, the prevailing attitude had changed significantly. Although there were still cynics -- among them the prominent Dr. McCoy, who insisted that it was a "Crazy way to travel, spreading a man's molecules all over the universe" -- the transporter was used widely, and we never heard mention of the ethical dilemmas involved in its use.
By the time of Star Trek: The Next Generation, transporters -- like warp drive -- were considered to be a "proven technology". Commander William Riker even described it as "the safest way to travel." It is notable that this same person was personally involved in the afore-mentioned transporter accident, which clearly showed that the transporter had in fact destroyed and copied him.
Numerous natural and artificial phenomena interfere with transporter function. Electromagnetic radiation,[4] electromagnetic force fields,[5] severe weather,[6] dense metals,[7] defensive shields,[8] "inhibitor" fields,[9] exotic radiation,[10] natural minerals,[11] and various other conditions have all impaired or prevented transporter use, sometimes merely by their presence in the general vicinity.
In the TOS-era, transporters were much safer to use for ship-to-planet or planet-to-ship transports than ship-to-ship transports or transports to another location within the same ship. Why it would be easier to transport someone from orbit to a location on the ground than from the ship's transporter pad to a compartment in the same ship was never clearly explained.
By the TNG-era, transporter targeting had progressed to the point that transporting from one location to another on a starship was no longer considered hazardous, and transporters were routinely used to transport people and objects from one location to another without materializing the subject on a transporter pad in between. Nonetheless, under particularly hazardous conditions (such as in the presence of heavy interference), the safest course is to transport subjects directly from one transporter pad to another transporter pad at the destination (indicating that transporter systems can interact with each other to boost performance). Portable devices called pattern enhancers can also be used to improve transporter function.
The transport process is mildly stressful on living subjects, making it unsafe to transport injured personnel who are not in a stable condition.[12] Similarly, it apparently affects the energy state of matter enough to trigger chain reactions in unstable materials.[13]
Transporters include a "biofilter" intended to remove potentially dangerous parasites and microbes from individuals undergoing transport, but this feature is highly unreliable. It appears to remove only known pathogens, so it regularly fails to remove organisms that have not been previously identified as hazards.[14]
Combat Use
Defensive shields block transporter function, but once an enemy's shields have been dropped with weapon fire, boarding parties routinely transport themselves onto enemy starships, indicating that transporting alert, unwilling opponents away from their ship would be so much more difficult as to not be worth attempting. This tactical behavior may indicate that transport inhibitor technology is built into starships: routine use of transporters to rescue personnel from damaged starships indicates that an inhibitor effect is not inherent to a ship's structure.
Transporters can be used to capture unwary opponents,[15] and Federation transporter systems are capable of deactivating weapons carried by individuals undergoing transport, even if those weapons are actively discharging.[16]
Alternative Uses
Transporters are occasionally employed in novel ways that are never repeated, giving the transporter a variety of "technology of the week" uses.
- Medical Applications
- The Enterprise crew once used a sample of Dr. Pulaski's DNA recovered from a hairbrush as a template with which to counteract changes induced by a disease of the week using the ship's transporter.[17]
- When a transporter malfunction during beam-up transforms several crew members into children (albeit with adult minds), the transporter is able to use patterns from previous transports to restore them to their adult forms.[18] This incident suggests the possibility of using the transporter to restore elderly individuals to a youthful state, but there is no indication that the Federation has tried to reproduce the event.
- Cloning
- A transporter accident once created a duplicate of William Riker.[19] This event raises the possibility that transporters could rapidly generate copies of fully-trained personnel, but Starfleet has made no effort to duplicate the event.
Trekkie Arguments
In spite of all the things that can stop transporters, trekkies often argue that they represent a huge advantage in battles, using the idiotic idea that an opponent that doesn't have transporter technology can't stop them. This idiotic thinking leads to claims that Starfleet could easily defeat opposition from other settings such as Babylon 5 and Star Wars, even though relatively primitive civilizations without transporter technology have blocked transporters in Star Trek itself.
