I'm a Brazilian who builds LEGO® since 5 or 6 years old. I couldn't upload all my creations and previous weapons, since I haven't taken pictures of the older ones. The good news is that today I take photos of all MOCs from mostly all angles, so I (and you) don't miss anything.
The weapons are real-sized and have real iron sights - but I warn you that I make these are game-based sights, and I didn't see these weapons in real life. Oh, and they have removable magazines.
Please, write and rate what you thought about my MOCs. This will help me a lot. At least rate them, it's just a click. =)
Thanks and enjoy my page!
05/15/10 - Hey guys, there've been some time since my previous upload. Well, that doesn't mean that I stopped building things (yes, weapons), and I think it's time to upload them. And update my home page, as you hopelly saw.
First, the Modular Assault Rifle - just an generic modern design rifle to test a realoding mechanism (actually, a magazine dispenser one) I got from MOC Pages some time ago, and I can't remember from who. So if you know any guy that made an mechanism like the on in this weapon, please tell me so I can give him proper credit. Well, have a look on it: MAR
The last one is a surprise, to all you guys on the internet. If you're District 9 fans, cheer up, I made a real sized version of the Arc Gun (the one that explode the target). You can check it (and review it if you may) here: District 9 Arc Gun
06/29/09 - I'm back! Sorry for not updating the page in those 3 months, but now there's a mega update with 4 new MOCs (and a video about one of them I'll will upload soon, besides a new MOC I'll upload here the next days). They're all weapons, so check them in my weapons folder (or homepage =P). Bye and see you soon! =)

Ireland is to reopen its embassy in the Vatican two years after it was shut for cost reasons.
The Holy See in Rome is one of five new embassies to be set up including missions in Bangkok in Thailand, Jakarta in Indonesia, the Croatian capital Zagreb and Nairobi in Kenya.
Three new consuls will also be opened as part of Ireland's revamped diplomatic operations, including bases in Hong Kong, Austin in Texas and Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Plans to reopen the embassy in the Holy See has been on the table for months. The decision to shut it in November 2011 was seen in some quarters as a snub to the Catholic Church in the wake of a series of damning reports of the mishandling of clerical abuse.
The renewed presence in the Vatican has been described by the Department of Foreign Affairs as a scaled-back, one-person embassy with a focus on international development.
"This will enable Ireland to engage directly with the leadership of Pope Francis on the issues of poverty eradication, hunger and human rights," the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
Eamon Gilmore, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the overall expansion is an investment in Ireland's future.
"Over the past five years our diplomats have been tasked with the frontline role in restoring Ireland's once-tattered reputation abroad, and in championing our economic cause," he said.
"And they have been hugely successful in doing that - both in European capitals, influencing key decisions at European Council level, and in major cities, organisations and political capitals around the world.
"This expansion of the embassy network will help to bolster that effort, and, crucially, to drive Ireland's economic recovery which has been export-led. It will equip Ireland to take advantage of emerging opportunities and will provide certainty for business that resources will be in place to support them in key markets and regions."
Ireland has 300 diplomats in 73 locations abroad allowing relations with 176 states. Opening the new missions is expected to cost €4.7m a year.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said Thailand and Indonesia were selected because of their fast growing economies while Hong Kong and Sao Paolo because of the financial and business hubs Texas for its booming tech hub.
Croatia recently became the 28th member state of the European Union.
The department said further diplomatic links were needed in Nairobi because of the work of Ireland's aid programme, Irish Aid, which will help to accelerate the planned transition from aid to trade in Africa.
Despite the expansion some missions will be scaled back or closed with the embassy in Lesotho to shut and the embassy in South Africa assuming responsibility for the kingdom. The embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania, will be downsized.
Elsewhere, the existing Irish Aid office in Freetown, Sierra Leone, will be upgraded to embassy status.

Whosoever shall fall upon this stone shall be broken… Luke 20:18
If there had been directions on the bottom of the alabaster box mentioned in the fourteenth chapter of Mark, they would have read "useless unless broken." What an example this woman demonstrated by her actions, showing us the progression into the perfect will of God. Even though the scripture doesn't give her name, it does declare that this act of love would be a memorial for her forever. If all we see is that she anointed Jesus, then we've missed a beautiful truth.
The first thing the lady with the alabaster box did was "come" to Jesus. With a very precious and extremely expensive box of ointment, spikenard, she "came" to Jesus, and passed all the indignant eyes.
The second thing she did was "give" and in so doing, gave Him her all. Many of us come to Jesus, but refuse to give Him everything, and by holding on to certain things we miss the fullness of Christ in our lives. It will cost us our lives to serve the Lord.
The third thing she did was to "break"; she broke open the alabaster box. Regardless of the cost of this alabaster box of precious spikenard, it was "useless unless broken." Likewise, our lives are useless as long as we are secure within ourselves and refuse to be broken for the cause of Christ. "Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder." Luke 20:18 (KJV) The Last thing this woman did was "pour out" the ointment on the Lord's feet. When the disciples began to murmur against her, Jesus said, "Leave her alone; she's preparing me for my burial." Since the cross, whenever we pour ourselves out before the Lord, we are no longer preparing Him for burial, but we are declaring His resurrection.
We must approach Jesus in the same manner and attitude as the alabaster box lady. We must "come" to Christ on our own, even when circumstances try to prevent our coming. We must "give" ourselves all-inclusively to the Lord without holding back anything. Then we must be willing to "break" anything in ourselves that would hinder our walk with Him. Our pride, our self-sufficiency, and our will must fall upon the rock of Christ because we will be "useless unless broken." It is when we approach our Lord with this heart, humility and honesty that He is able to pour us out as witnesses to a hurting world.
Pastor Hal Steenson

Pest and Disease Management with Homa Therapy
Submitted by bruce on Mon, 06/06/2011 - 08:20
- Homa Organic Farming is totally non-violent.
- It is the only farming system which is totally non-violent.
- In Homa Organic Farming we do not kill anything, not even so-called dangerous pests.
- In Homa Organic Farming pests and diseases are approached in a different way: non-adversarial, non-antagonistic.
- All insects, viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc are a part of Nature and have their role to play.
- Agnihotra and Homa Therapy encourage balance in Nature.
- All species come into balance with each other.
- The so-called dangerous pests are controlled by predators (friends of the farmer) which appear automatically in a balanced environment.
- Use of chemicals destroys this fine balance in Nature.
Occasionally it may be necessary to use special Homa preparations in order to control serious pest and disease attack. Some preparations have been found to be very useful in this regard. These preparations are not designed to kill, but rather to strengthen the health of the plants so that they can resist the attack. Insect plagues are a sign of great imbalance in Nature caused by man's use of chemical poisons. In the balanced Homa eco-system both friendly insects and also pests will be present. But because they are balanced this has no negative impact on the Homa farmer.
Following are some success stories of farmers who have solved pest and disease problems with the techniques of Homa Organic Farming.
Black Sigatoka Fungus in Banana
Tea Mosquito in Cashew Nut
Piroplasmosis in Cattle
Moniliasis Fungus in Cocoa
Leaf-eating Caterpillar in Coconut
American boll worm and Bronze Wilt in Cotton
Powdery Mildew in Cowpea
Citrus Mites, Quick Decline Virus, Sooty Bark, Leaf Miners and several other pests in Lemon
Powdery Mildew, Mango Hopper and Mealy Bug in Mango
Potato Blight
Woolly Aphid in Sugarcane
Fungal and Bacterial Infection in Tea Plantation

Famous Wheat Germ Love Affairs
The Kretschmer Wheat Germ brand is 77 years old now, and in those decades millions have fallen in love with it. Truly.
It's pretty phenomenal to witness Kretschmer Wheat Germ's staying power, through eating fads like Tang pie and Spam buffet party loaf. Despite some of our questionable food choices (then and now), we always seem to find our way back to eating what is good for us.
Kretschmer helped correct our course all along, particularly in the 1960s and '70s with a big advertising campaign focused on the importance of eating right. The message "You are what you eat" hit on nutrition needs for people of all ages, from small children to senior citizens. "For energy and stamina one important thing you must do is eat right," stated the print ads, which often featured famous athletes like Mickey Mantle and Gale Sayers.
Some of the ads subtly suggested that eating wheat germ would give stamina back to millions of husbands whose tensions at work were wearing them out. "Serve your husband this amazing food and see what happens!" says one, with a photo of a couple dancing the cha-cha. Another ad shows a happy couple frolicking in the water and embracing. Clearly they're reaping all the health benefits wheat germ has to offer!
We love looking back on these ads. They remind us that while hundreds of eating fads have come and (thankfully) gone, the true love of eating well and having wheat germ in our lives carries on.
For more fun Kretschmer history and photos, visit our Pinterest board "Kretschmer Over the Years" and our Facebook Timeline.

On August 28, 1963 hundreds of thousands of demonstrators flocked to the nation's capital for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. It was Clayborne Carson's first demonstration. A nineteen year old black student from a working-class family in New Mexico, Carson hitched a ride to Washington. Unsure how he would return home, he was nonetheless certain that he wanted to connect with the youthful protesters and community organizers who spearheaded the freedom struggle. Decades later, Coretta Scott King selected Dr. Carson--then a history professor at Stanford University-- to edit the papers of her late husband.
In this candid and engrossing memoir, he traces his evolution from political activist to activist scholar. He vividly recalls his involvement in the movement's heyday and in the subsequent turbulent period when King's visionary Dream became real for some and remained unfulfilled for others. He recounts his conversations with key African Americans of the past half century, including Black Power firebrand Stokely Carmichael and dedicated organizers such as Ella Baker and Bob Moses. His description of his long-term relationship with Coretta Scott King sheds new light on her crucial role in preserving and protecting her late husband's legacy.
Written from the unique perspective of a renowned scholar, this highly readable account gives readers valuable new insights about the global significance of King's inspiring ideas and his still unfolding legacy

I Capture the Castle
I Capture the Castle is a film that I watch when I want to feel good. It inspires a general feeling of contentment as its imagery passes before your eyes. The storyline is quite simple and straightforward, leaving the characters to speak for themselves. The film is an adaptation of Dodie Smith's well-known novel, I Capture the Castle, which is one of my favourite coming-of-age books. The novel, like the film, is told from the pages of Cassandra Mortmain's journal, and details her eccentric family circle: her writer father, her beautiful sister, Rose, her artist stepmother and her precocious brother.
Both the novel and film remind me of a mix between Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Rose is very much like Austen's Marianne, while Cassandra, our heroine, is a lovely combination of Elizabeth's wit and cleverness, coupled with Elinor's strength of character and maturity. The storyline is also very similar to the traditional courtship tales found in Austen's novels, and it's infused with the same wit, humour and attention to social detail that make Austen's novels so memorable. However, what the film brings to the forefront from its literary sources is a strong sense of emerging desire as part of the growing up process. This is definitely not Austen territory. There is a real sweetness and freshness to this film in its depiction of sexuality, and yet, there is nothing twee about it. It just seems honest, like Cassandra herself.
But there is another reason why I watch this film so many times, and that is because it feels so close to my own memories. There are certain films that make me feel so comfortable, that I begin to attach my own memories to them, as if I'm involved in the construction of the film narrative. Does anyone else do this? Here's what I mean:
: : The image of Cassandra sun baking after a swim, which reminds me of lying on huge warm slabs of stone in my grandparents' front garden, feeling the warmth of the stones emanating through a wet bathing suit.
: : The image of Cassandra having a bath in her kitchen by the fire, that instantly brings to mind a family trip in which we had no electricity in a cottage we hired out, and took baths next to the fireplace. Bliss.
: : The image of Cassandra writing in a crowded London cafe, which always jolts me with such a desire to return to England, where I used to do the very same thing, surrounded by strangers in cafes.
: : The image of delicate flowers threaded through Rose's hair, which takes me back to a childhood birthday party in Israel, for which my mother painstakingly braided flowers into my own hair. Each time her hand brushed my cheek or the back of my neck, I caught a whiff of her perfume. I'm convinced that everyone's mother has her own unique smell, and if you're lucky, that smell is childhood itself.
I could go on, but I won't. There's something to be said for a film that can make you enjoy it on such a memory-level, as it's almost like the film is participating in your own personal history.
P.S. I want to thank everyone who commented on my previous post. Such long, and thoughtful comments, they were so reassuring and heartening to read.

front yard landscaping
64+ hours, 70+ plants, 90°+ weather, and one long weekend—I now have a yard I am proud of! My practically-professional-botantist mother came to visit me last weekend and we tackled THIS crazy monster.
Captured a few during pics, including our selection from the nursery (one of everything).
And of course the most rewarding part—the lovely after images!
Though a dramatic improvement, it still takes YEARS before the true after is visible. Plants are so very out of my comfort zone, but I will do my darndest to keep this little investment alive! Well, by little I mean about the price of one of these Coach purses. Thankfully I had a gracious friend that allowed me to borrow tools and take ground cover starters, which cut a lot of costs.
For those of you botany fans, the yard now has range of hydrangeas, salvia, hostas, boxwood, peonies and daylilies. And a plethora of other perennials. But no more yucca plants! I really love the retaining wall that will eventually have sedum bursting forth!
Price Breakdown: Plants $355 // Bricks/Rock $108 // Landscape Fabric $44 // Mulch $30 // Misc $15 // Total $552
Any landscaping ventures that you hope to do? Or fans of this attempt?


text: Some netters have noticed a loss in the ability to amplify DNA by the polymerase chain reaction when using the same lot of primers over a period of time. On occasion, the failure of PCR amplification was directly linked to the primer stock going belly up for unknown reasons. PCR primers initially worked shortly after being purchased, but after storage for several months at -20 C as diluted stocks in water, these same primers failed to give the same amount of amplified product in identical reactions. Primers going bad also produced unreadable results in automated DNA sequencing reactions using the dye terminator chemistry combined with cycle sequencing and subsequent analysis on the ABI model 373A sequencer under the same conditions that previously gave good results. If new primers were purchased, the reactions gave good results and acted as they did prior to storage at - 20 C. I'm searching for people who have had the unfortunate experience of losing their primer stocks to the big eppendorf tube in the sky when they've stored them in their -20 C freezer. If you've had trouble with this problem and feel like sharing your experience to be written in an upcoming TIBS column, please post or e-mail. Thanks. -Paul. ******************************************************************************* * Paul N.

I wondered if this might happen given the trouble they were having with the controller interference. Power tools were showing up at a $1.99 and gum was pulling a tidy grand or two. 🙂
Xbox 360 kiosks placed in Wal-Mart stores across the country have been shut off, said a Microsoft spokesperson contacted this afternoon. The reason, according to Microsoft, is due to the console causing interference with Wal-Mart's wireless "hand scanner" inventory system. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem as being "minor" and says a software solution is in the works to correct it.

Pros: Fun book, sturdy pages, nice lights and sound feature, cute illustrations, traditional Christmas carol text...
Cons: None.
Every year my mother-in-law gives us a children's book about Christmas. Ostensibly they're for our boys, but they also commemorate the deaths of two of my nephews who were stillborn, Nikolas and Joshua. This year the book is "O Little Town of Bethlehem: A Pageant of Lights" from Smart Kids Publishing. The sturdy 16-page board book is a large one, with 10 inch pages and a heavy back page to contain the batteries, lights and speaker for the lights and sound features.
The book tells the Nativity story, starting with a group of travelers journeying toward Bethlehem. We see the small city from the hillside, with the Middle Eastern domes, slit windows, thick walls, and tall trees nearby.
Above the town of Bethlehem,
there shone a wondrous star.
Whose eager eyes reflect the skies?
Three wise men from afar.
Each two-page spread is a nighttime scene of people journeying toward Bethlehem and the stable--shepherds, the "wise men," etc. Above these scenes are stars illustrated on the page, but also eight tiny lightbulbs that twinkle and shine as you turn the pages. One of them is larger than the others, and it merges with the illustrations to beam down upon the stable and the Christ Child.
As you turn the pages, the book also plays the Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem." It plays the entire song, and has a better sound quality than many similar books we've had around the house. It's one of the less familiar Christmas songs in our house, so it's nice to have this book here as a reminder. Reading the book with my boys last night, I found myself thinking, "well, this is nice rhyming text, but...are they ever going to use the real words?" Or maybe I had just grown up with a different text? But no, the final page of the book features the full Nativity scene on one side of the book, and the complete words of the song on the other:
O little town of Bethlehem
how still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep
and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
the everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years,
are met in thee tonight.
The illustrations are cartoony, simplified and cute. All of the people (and even the animals) are chubby-cheeked and squat, looking as much like Fisher Price Little People as anything else.
This is a fun, sweet little book that's good for families with young children who want to help teach them the Nativity story. And yes, Virginia, there is an off switch on the back of the book, just in case the song is driving you nuts. It would have been nice to include separate switches for the lights and the sound, so you could read by the twinkling of the lights, without reading over the hymn. Still, a book that my boys have already fallen in love with, and one I hope they'll want to read at Christmastime for a few years yet.

Haemangioblastoma: series of 24 cases with clinicopathological features
Suche in Medline nach
|11. September 2012
Material and methods: From the departmental archival files of last 7 years, 24 cases of CHBs, wherein the diagnosis was reviewed and confirmed have been included in the study. A detailed histomorphological and immunohistochemical evaluation was studied.
Results: The age range was 15–68yrs (median: 30 yrs) with sex ratio of Male: Female of 1.2:1 (M-13; F-11). Cerebellum was commonest location (n=20). One case each was seen in brain stem, cervical spinal cord, fourth ventricle and frontal lobe of cerebral hemisphere. von Hippel-Lindau (vHL) disease association was noted in 5 cases. 4 cases were recurrent in nature of which 3 were in association with vHL. Histologically, reticular variant was the predominant subtype (n=15), 5 were of cellular variant and 4 were mixed. Nuclear pleomorphism, nuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, cytoplasmic vacuolation were noted in the stromal cells in varying proportions.Immunohistochemical evaluation evaluation was successful in only 11 cases and of which 8 showed stromal cell positivity for alpha-inhibin.CD56 (NCAM), Nestin and synaptophysin positivity was seen in 6, 7 and 4 cases respectively. Nestin positivity was noted in stroma cells only and no reactivity with the endothelial cells seen. S-100 protein and NSE positivity was seen in 8 and 10 cases respectively. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) showed two distinct patterns of immunoreactivity - scattered stromal cell positivity (n:5) and pattern of reactive astrogliosis positivity (n:10). CD44 positivity was noted in 5 cases. VEGF and EGFR positivity was seen in 5 cases each. None of the cases showed positivity for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and no stromal cells in any of the cases showed positivity for CD34 and CD31 (however the endothelial cells were highlighted).
Conclusions: Cerebellum is the commonest site of occurrence for HBs and uncommonly can occur in the supratentorial compartment and spinal cord. No histological or immunohistochemical correlation with association with vHL was noted. Reticular variant is commonest histological subtype. The present study do raise a possibility of VEGF as a putative mediator of tumoral angiogenesis and tumorigenesis and EGFR suggests as a possible signal transduction initiator.

There's a new action figure that has everyone asking a whole lot of questions at San Diego Comic-Con. It's the sculpture at the company booth of Hot Toys. The lifesize Batsuit all decked out in purple and green, kind of with a melty-looking candy mess appearance. Beside it reads, "The Joker (Batman Imposter Version)." Everyone's wants to know if Jared Leto's incarnation of the smiling sociopath will bounce through Gotham City in a Batsuit of his own come Suicide Squad's August 5th release.
It's not too wild of an idea. This imposter Batsuit is a gleefully spraypainted mess, which has been hinted at being something of a stylistic calling card for the official DCU on screen. Director David Ayer is evolving Zack Snyder's vision, so, honestly, this doesn't strike as crazy as a longtime Bat-fan might think. In small but noticeble ways, this Joker's unlike any version before.

Motorola Ban Starts Today
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Starting today, some 18 Motorola devices will be banned in the US as the result of their little scrap with Microsoft in ITC courts.The ITC ruling allowed for a 60 day presidential review, which could have reversed the decision. Those 60 days have now passed, and Motorola is left with a few options to prevent their Droid 2, Droid X, Droid X 2 and Xoom tablets from being banned in the States. Motorola doesn´t appear too worried, saying they are confident they´ll be able to put their futuristic X-heavy devices in consumers´ hands for years to come.
The patent in question is related to Microsoft´s Exchange Active Sync technology, which involves creating meetings and scheduling on a mobile device. Motorola has licensed this patent in the past, between 2003 and 2007. When the license expired in 2007, Google´s Motorola simply stopped paying for the license, giving Microsoft a bullet with which to fire when they became ready.
In a statement given to All Things D, Microsoft´s Deputy General Counsel Dave Howard has said, "Microsoft brought this case only after Motorola stopped licensing our intellectual property but continued to use our inventions in its products."
"It´s unfortunate we´ve been forced to pursue legal action, but the solution for Motorola remains licensing our intellectual property at market rates as most other Android manufacturers have already done."
Motorola has a couple of options if they plan to sidestep these bans. First, they could simply start paying for the licenses again. Other companies, such as Apple, Google and Nokia, are each under license contracts with Microsoft to use this patent. In fact, Microsoft receives payments from more than 70% of all Android phones sold in the States. Google´s Motorola seems to be the only company looking to use the patent without payment.
They could also remove the calendaring feature entirely, leaving many Motorola fans dependent on a third-party option for scheduling their lives.
Motorola has not yet announced how they plan to keep Droids and Xooms on shelves across America, they´ve only said they´ve got a plan.
"Motorola has taken proactive measures to ensure that our industry-leading smartphones remain available to consumers in the US," Google´s Motorola said in a statement to All Things D. "We respect the value of intellectual property and expect other companies to do the same."
Even Microsoft is left out in the dark as to how Motorola will "side step" an ITC ban, telling Ars Technica, "We do not have information on how they will comply."
Microsoft isn´t the only one seeking a ban, of course. Motorola wants the ITC to place a ban on Microsoft´s Xbox 360 for violating a FRAND patent. Though they´re facing a ban on 18 of their products in the US, Motorola can freely sell their tablets in Europe after a German judge denied Apple´s request to place a ban on the Xoom. As they´ve been doing with other companies, Apple has sued Google´s Motorola for violating their design rights, saying the Xoom tablet too closely resembles the iPad.

Four-Color To Fantasy was one of the first 3.0 superhero add-ons that came out, and to some degree it shows. There are some clunky bits in here, and some things that don't really add up, but there are a lot of grand ideas that make it worth a gamer's while:
The fantasy superheroes setting, while done less explicitly in games like Exalted, is both fun and compelling. The sample characters do a good job of getting across a superhero tone with fantasy trappings.
The very flexible "hero" class that is used to funnel the normal level-based advancement of D20 into a point-buy system for powers and so on is quite effective. There is good advice on game balance as well.
Although it's perhaps been surpassed since the time it came out (and itself has several editions after this one), FCTF remains a solid product well worth a look.

Winter Meetings Recap: Indians resign Cooper, talk to Balfour
Day one of the 2013 Winter Meetings is almost in the books. The news and rumors will surely continue into the night, and if anything of substance regarding the Indians has legs I will provide the update on Twitter @TonyIBI and in the newswire to the right. If anything more signifcant gains legs I will surely post it to the front page as well.
Indians sign David Cooper
The Indians have signed free agent first baseman David Cooper to a major league deal. He does have an option remaining, so his signing looks to be as more of a depth option that will start at Triple-A Columbus and be the first option – if he is healthy and performing - to call up if Jason Giambi or Nick Swisher were to go on the disabled list or if Giambi struggles.
Cooper, 26, split the 2012 season between Triple-A Las Vegas and the Toronto Blue Jays. He began the year in Las Vegas where he hit .314 (82-for-261) with 27 2B, 10 HR and 52 RBI in 62 games before being promoted to Toronto in May, batting .300 (42-for-140) with 11 2B, 4 HR & 11 RBI in 45 games with the Blue Jays. His 2012 campaign ended in late August that season due to a mid-back strain, an injury that led to his March 2013 release from Toronto and required surgery in April.
Cooper is a career .301 hitter in the minor leagues and over two major league seasons with Toronto in 2011-12 he batted .270 with 18 2B, 6 HR and 23 RBI in 72 games. The left-handed hitting first baseman led the Pacific Coast League in batting average (.364) and doubles (51) for Triple-A Las Vegas in 2011. He was Toronto's first round pick (17th overall) in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft and played collegiately at Cal State Fullerton and the University of California.
The Indians signed Cooper back in mid-August to a minor league deal but it was a deal that included an opt out if he was not added to the major league roster by September 1st. It was not enough time for the Indians to properly evaluate him as a major league option, so they did not roster him and he exercised the opt out in his contract and became a free agent.
It remains to be seen if Cooper is healthy or not. The back injury he suffered at the end of the 2012 season was enough where it was considered to be career threatening. He had a herniated thoracic disk that was compressing his spinal cord and needed innovative back surgery in April to help restore his health.
If Cooper is healthy and does not break down, this is a lower profile move which could end up being a nice move for the Indians in creating depth and options at first base and designated hitter. He has a good approach at the plate, limits strikeouts, hits righties well and is a good defender. He's likened to a Lyle Overbay and James Loney type as someone who is not a big time run producer, but someone who can handle the bat and play defense. There is value with a player like that, even if on a guaranteed small major league deal.
It is also important to note that if Cooper does rebound and prove effective that the Indians would have him under control for at least the next six seasons. The upside as a role player, his low cost and long term control makes this a no-brainer pickup and gives the Indians some additional depth as well as some flexibility to consider other deals.
Rumors and Notes
- According to Jon Morosi of Fox Sports, the Indians have talked to the representatives for free agent right-handed starting pitcher Jason Hammel. ESPN's Buster Olney later reported that Hammel's price went up as he is looking for a three or four year deal, so the Indians are looking elsewhere and they may wait longer to see what develops in the starting pitching market. The 30-year old Hammel went 7-8 with a 4.97 ERA in 26 appearances for the Orioles last season (139.1 IP, 155 H, 22 HR, 48 BB, 96 K). Count me as someone who is not interested in signing Hammel to any guaranteed deal, even for $1 million. If he can be had on a minor league deal then fine (he probably won't be), but to me he is barely a fifth starter and the Indians have several options in house just like Hammel to fill such a role and for a cheaper cost and with less roster restrictions. If the Indians want to add starting pitching depth I am all for it on minor league deals, but if they want to sign anyone to a major league deal it should be for a more reliable, competitive and effective pitcher who profiles as more of a third or fourth starter that gives innings.
- Jon Morosi of Fox Sports has also noted that the Indians have talked to the representatives for free agent right-handed closer Grant Balfour. The 35-year old Balfour had another good season racking up a 2.59 ERA and 38 saves for the Athletics last season and has 62 saves over the last two seasons; however, this to me looks like the Indians just kind of kicking the tires more than serious interest at this point. He is expected to get a multi-year deal for $5-7 million per season, a contract which appears to be too pricey for the cash strapped Indians who have a finite budget and need to concentrate using most of their available budget on a good starting pitching option. If money were no object I would have no problem with such a signing as the Indians need a legit backend arm to add to the pen since they are very limited with internal options. But, money is always part of the equation, so unless his contract demands come down I don't expect the Indians to go very far in any talks with him.
- According to several reports, former Indians right-handed closer Chris Perez is at the Winter Meetings and talking to clubs face to face. This is a smart move on his part as he has an image problem that he is going to have to work on getting past, and will need to show interested teams that he is sincere and ready to move on from his troubled past. Whether or not his issues in his past have been overblown or not, it is still something that follows him and he will need to work very hard to rebuild his image. This is a good start. He has no shot of returning to the Indians and will probably get a one or two year deal from someone for $3 to $5 million per season.
- Last but not least, Jim Pete and I are going to do a new Smoke Signals podcast and give our thoughts on the Indians offseason so far and some of the news and rumors from the Winter Meetings. We will post the podcast to the front page later tonight or early tomorrow.

I hope they get maximum trade value. There are desperate teams looking for that top notch 1 or #2 pitcher. The D'backs, Rangers, Mariners, Angels, and maybe the Pirates.
The A's and the Rays are 2 small market teams that have been able to pull off these types of trades by picking up top talent. The don't rebuild they reload. This is how there are able to compete in this crazy FA market that has gone out control.
I will be very disappointed if they give Masterson away just to save on payroll. They come away with talent similar to the Colon trade.
Masterson will become a free agent and more than 80% chance he will not resign with the Indians. He will reject QO and Indians will just get the extra draft pick.
I'd rather have Peavy than Andrew Miller and a AAA player (unless it's a very nice AAA player)...
I'd have to be blown away to trade him, but at this point anything is possible.
I still think the Mets may be a good fit when all is said and done for Cabrera.
...but the price isn't going to be right. His tangible stats are fine, but his metrics don't match up to what he's ultimately going to cost...
Signing David Cooper reminds me a lot of Chris McGuiness and Mike McDade moves last yr. Depth options, that could possibly contribute. I thought that's what Jesus Aguilar was, right now. It's a reasonable signing, and my immediate reaction was why roster the guy, but I'm sure that was more about securing the signing than anything. It's hard to complain with an option and yrs of control for a Tribe IF he does prove healthy.

Machynlleth mayor Gareth Jones says town residents feel a "natural anxiety" as the search for missing schoolgirl April Jones enters its fifth day.
But he said there was also a mood of optimism and determination that the five-year-old schoolgirl would be returned to her family.
Asked to describe the mood in the town this morning, Mr Jones said: "It's a natural anxiety which, as I say, is natural - nobody would be human if that wasn't one of the emotions at the moment, an anxiety at not knowing how and where April is.
"But there is an overriding hope and positivity. We are still here to find her and bring her home safely to her family."
Difficult weather overnight, including gusty winds and heavy showers, was making the work of specialist police and mountain rescue search teams even more difficult.
Mr Jones added: "It's hampering the search, I'm sure, but police and volunteers are undeterred, they are not letting up one iota."
April has not been seen since she got in to a vehicle close to her home on the Bryn-y-Gog estate at around 7pm on Monday.
Mr Jones said town residents, many of whom are sporting pink ribbons following a campaign launched yesterday by April's family, were thinking of the schoolgirl's family.
"They need space for themselves and we are all giving them that. They have got the right support from the police liaison service but of course our thoughts are with them."

Raspberry malted
Page Tools
The fruitiest beers this side of Belgium are being brewed locally.
It's been positively raining fruit beers lately, most of them from local boutique producers. Redoak Blackberry Hefeweizen, Redoak Framboise Froment (made with raspberries), Merc's Own Peach Ale and Jamieson Raspberry Ale have all found their way onto my tasting bench in recent weeks. Throw in the imported Grolsch Lemon and it's a rather fruity summer drinking season.
Most of these brews have doubtlessly been inspired by Belgian fruit lambics, which traditionally feature raspberries (framboise) or sour cherries (kriek) used to flavour these unique, spontaneously fermenting beers. Authentic lambic brewers add the fruit direct to wooden casks full of the fermenting beer; large, commercial breweries nowadays often use fruit syrup or flavouring and sweeten the beer for less-discerning palates. Modern fruit lambic variations include peach, blackcurrant, grape and banana.
The Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe's co-owner/brewer David Hollyoak calls Framboise Froment his "signature beer" and the pink-tinged brew is served in flutes for women and solid balloon glasses for blokes. It's basically a Belgian wit (or wheat) beer with a huge burst of fresh raspberries sourced from the Blueberry Hills Farm in the Yarra Valley (the berry farm happens to be run by Hollyoak's cousins).
The same family connection also supplies the fruit that flavours his distinctive Blackberry Hefeweizen. Hollyoak brews a Bavarian style, cloudy wheat beer (hefeweizen), but the blackberries provide a sharp, lactic tartness that results in a beer much closer to the northern German branch of wheat beers. Berliner weisse beers are sometimes served with a dash of sweet fruit cordial so Redoak's version is really a New World twist on a traditional European theme.
Merc's Own Peach Ale is dancer, actor and beer aficionado Paul Mercurio's first commercial venture. Merc's Own Peach Ale is brewed and bottled at the Holgate Brewhouse in Victoria and Mercurio used peach syrup to flavour the initial batch. He says the beer is still "a work in progress" selling steadily enough through a handful of Victorian bottle shops.
Owners of the Jamieson Brewery in the Victorian high country, Jeff and Jeanette Whyte, installed a micro-brewery in their country pub three years ago. "We wanted to attract more tourists and give them a reason to stay," Jeff Whyte says. The raspberry ale is the second-biggest seller among their four house beers. "I'd read about those European fruit beers and I drank all I could get my hands on," he says.
Whyte brews a basic pale ale recipe and adds the raspberries during the fourth or fifth day of fermentation. He plans to brew a one-off batch of blackberry stout sometime in 2005.
You've probably seen a slice of lemon or lime added to the likes of Corona or Redback, but Grolsch Lemon incorporates the fruit flavour in a low-alcohol lager. Beer purists will be appalled, but the "lager and lime" brigade will happily suck it down.
Tasting notes
Redoak Framboise Froment (5.2%)
Hazy, golden-pink. Aroma: sharp/sour raspberry notes. Palate: tart at first with loads of raspberry character; dry finish with hints of kirsch. A stunning aperitif that will seduce even non-beer drinkers.
Redoak Blackberry Hefeweizen (5.2%)
Murky with a faint purple tinge. Aroma: rather shy, some banana notes. Palate: initial tartness, restrained berry flavours; mouth-puckeringly sour finish. Berliners love this wheat beer variation, but others may find it a challenge as an aperitif or after-dinner cleanser. (www.redoak.com.au)
Jamieson Raspberry Ale (4.7%)
Dark tan. Aroma: hints of sweet fruit. Palate: malty initially, balanced with tart, raspberry notes and a cleansing aftertaste. Unusual, refreshing summer brew or dessert beer. (jamiesonbrewery.com.au)
Merc's Own Peach Ale (5.5%)
Hazy, straw-brown. Aroma: some fruity notes. Palate: softly carbonated, a gentle fruitiness emerges from this ale. Refreshingly tart finish. Could be matched with spicy picnic meats (pepperoni, salami, pastrami, leberkasse) or drunk as a summer quaffer. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Grolsch Lemon (2.5%)
Pale straw. Aroma: lemon sherbet. Palate: sweet/sickly lemon essence flavour; slightly tart finish. Novelty light beer that is nothing more than a shandy with a dash of lemon squash. Something to rinse the sand and salt out of your mouth after a swim. (Tucker Seabrook, tel: 9666 0000)

Words of Life
Full Product Description
Timothy Ward explains and defends what we are really saying when we trust and proclaim, as we must, that the Bible is God's word. In particular, he describes the nature of the relationship between the living God and Scripture. He examines why, in order to worship God faithfully, we need to pay close attention to the Bible; why, in order to be faithful disciples of Jesus - the Word-made-flesh - we need to base our lives on the words of the Bible; and why, in order to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, we need to trust and obey what the Bible says.
Ward offers an understanding of the nature of Scripture under three main headings. A biblical outline shows that the words of the Bible form a significant part of God's action in the world. A theological outline focuses on the relationship of Scripture with each of the persons of the Trinity. A doctrinal outline examines the 'attributes' of Scripture. A final chapter explores some significant areas in which the doctrine of Scripture should be applied.
Grounded in the relevant scholarship, this excellent, lucid exposition of the nature and function of Scripture stands firmly in line with the best of the theological traditions and is expressed in a form appropriate for the twenty-first century.
Words of Life by Timothy Ward was published by Inter-Varsity Press in February 2009 and is our 22220th best seller. The ISBN for Words of Life is 9781844742073.

2009 BMW M3 - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Beautiful, but disappointing performance
By dasbmr on
Vehicle2009 BMW M3 2dr Convertible (4.0L 8cyl 6M)
ReviewI have had several "M's", including 2 E46 BMR's.
The 2009 is a nicely sculpted vehicle as it sits curbside, although some have described it as looking like a Pontiac.
It's very comfortable and it handles great.
The 414 hp seems unbelievable to me because the (295 ft lb.)torque rating is so low in comparison.
I have owned an '03 CLK55 AMG, which had less HP, but far more torque.
The M3 just doesn't have the power that I like "off the line."
Sure, it will do 150 mph, but where can you realistically do that kind of speed?
For excitement on the road, I think the Benz equivalents are far better.
Best FeaturesHandling and dash layout. Seats.
Worst FeaturesMore torque!

Mysterious Hurricane at Saturn's North Pole 2013
The hurricane's eye is about 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide, 20 times larger than the average hurricane eye on Earth. Thin, bright clouds at the outer edge of the hurricane are traveling 330 mph (150 meters per second). The hurricane swirls inside a large, mysterious, six-sided weather pattern known as the hexagon.
A terrestrial hurricane and Saturn's north polar vortex have a central eye with no clouds or very low clouds. Other similar features include high clouds forming an eye wall, other high clouds spiraling around the eye, and a counter-clockwise spin in the northern hemisphere.
A major difference between the hurricanes is that the one on Saturn is much bigger than its counterparts on Earth and spins surprisingly fast. At Saturn, the wind in the eye wall blows more than four times faster than hurricane-force winds on Earth. Unlike terrestrial hurricanes, which tend to move, the Saturnian hurricane is locked onto the planet's north pole. On Earth, hurricanes tend to drift northward because of the forces acting on the fast swirls of wind as the planet rotates.

Bike Theft Prevention
1. Mark your bike. "A thief's big concern is, 'Can I sell this bike in 30 minutes?'" McGettigan says. "Thieves don't want one that's easily identifiable." Write your initials at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock on each tire with a Sharpie. Or pen your name on the top tube and cover it with layers of clear packing tape. A thief can remove it with some effort, but it probably won't be worth the hassle.
2. Take a mug shot. Write your bike's serial number in marker on paper and have someone photograph you displaying it next to your bike. Also take shots of identifying details and keep them stored in your phone. There's no theft without proof of ownership. Have yours ready.
3. Buy new locks. That Craigslist find might be a bargain, but it could be compromised or outdated.
Related: How to Find Your Stolen Bike
Where to Lock Your Bike
1. Know your neighborhood. Talk to a local bike shop. The staff should be well versed on the amount of theft occurring in the neighborhood and may have some targeted advice about where (or where not) to lock up. Or check with a local advocacy organization.
2. Steer Clear. Avoid stoops where people hang out on milk crates, McGettigan says—loiterers may tip off thieves. Don't lock at train stations; park a block away so no one will think you're gone all day. Best case: well-lit areas with foot traffic, near buildings with video surveillance.
3. Still Want More? Go on the record. On Bike Shepherd, you can enter your bike's serial number into a national database and buy three scannable, tamper-resistant QR stickers for the frame. The idea is to make a would-be thief wonder if selling the bike will pose a hassle. BikeSpike uses GPS to locate your bike—and cellular technology to share that location in real time.

Describe the narrative technique employed by Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice.
- print Print
- list Cite
In this novel, the author takes on the "persona" of the narrator, Elizabeth Bennet. In this way, the narrative technique combines first person narrative with omniscient narrator - but omniscient narrator only for the other characters, not Elizabeth herself. One of the great ironies of this novel is that the discerning Elizabeth cannot get the plank out of her own eye and realize her own "prejudices." This is why she totally misreads Darcy and is too quick to presume that there is nothing deeper behind his facade of pride.
The witty and clever way in which this novel is narrated is one of its very strong points. You can read a good analysis of the novel here on eNotes at the link below.
In this novel Jane Austen adopted the direct or epic method of narration in which she employs the third person narration.As the events of the novel are concentrated around the actions of Elizabeth,it can be said that she is being used as a focalizer.Austen's technique of using focalization allows the readers to build up a relationship with Elizabeth so that we can better relate to and sympathise with her feelings.
Influence of drama is clear in the present novel.One critic have tried to demonstrate how the actions of the novel can be divided in five acts of drama.She uses dialogues to make her characters speak for themselves while she overhears them and narrates everything to her readers in a manner of a drammatist.It has been said ofPride and Prejudicethat many pages of the novel can be read as sheer poetry of wit and irony.
The plot of Pride and Prejudice is a neatly constructed one.Then the plot is highly symmetrical also.
Letters are used as a dramatic device in the novel to further the plot,aid in the revelations of characters and in the exposition of theme in this novel.
Austen is a master at ending each chapter in the novel with a bang,providing great humour or insight into a character within few lines giving a greater impact because of the fact that it is the conclusion to each little situation.

Human China seen as reneging on media-freedom vowJuly 7th, 2008 - 6:33 pm ICT by ANI
Beijing, July 7 (ANI): A 71-page report by Human Rights Watch, which was released on Monday, has indicated that China has expanded the forbidden zones sensitive regions and subjects that are off-limits to foreign journalists even as it prepares for next month''s Olympics.
According to the Toronto-based Globe and Mail, the HRW report claims that China had promised in 2001 that the international media would enjoy complete freedom to report when they come to China for the Olympics. Five years later, Beijing announced that foreign journalists could freely conduct interviews with any consenting Chinese citizen on any political, economic, social and cultural matters from January 1, 2007 to October 17, 2008.
The HRW says that both of these promises have been repeatedly violated, and media freedom has deteriorated in China since mid-2007.
In the report, it has documented how several foreign journalists have suffered beatings or detention in the past 10 months, while others have been threatened with the loss of their Olympic accreditation because the government disliked their reports.
One reporter was kicked and punched by suspected plainclothes security agents who detained him for two hours when he visited an illegal jail in Beijing where petitioners were detained.
At least 10 foreign correspondents and some of their family members were subjected to anonymous death threats from Chinese individuals in phone calls, e-mails and text messages in March and April during the Tibetan unrest.
But despite many complaints from the Foreign Correspondents Club of China, government officials have refused to investigate the death threats, the report says.
It also says the death threats led to the temporary closing of a foreign television news bureau in Beijing and the temporary relocation of the bureau chiefs of two Beijing-based foreign media outlets.
This spring, after the Tibetan protests, the forbidden zones were expanded to include several new geographic regions the ethnically Tibetan districts of Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan and Qinghai provinces. Foreign journalists were kicked out of these regions, or blocked from entering.
After the Sichuan earthquake on May 12, foreign journalists were allowed free access to the quake zone for several weeks. But since June 2, the Foreign Correspondents Club has documented at least nine incidents in which foreign journalists were detained or roughed up by authorities in the earthquake zone.
Another tactic is the detention or intimidation of Chinese sources who speak to foreign journalists. One Chinese person who spoke to a foreign television crew in March was beaten by police so severely that he needed hospital treatment, the report says.
The attacks on Chinese sources have increased during the past year, the report said.
The government sends weekly faxes to Chinese media outlets, announcing the latest restrictions on their coverage, the report says. And at China''s state television network, the computer terminals of all journalists are linked to an electronic system that tells them the latest decrees on issues that they are prohibited from covering.

Safety Officials pitch in for "Child Passenger Safety Week"
Wilmington, NC (WWAY) – The Wilmington Police and Fire Departments are teaming up to help improve child safety.
In observance of "Child Passenger Safety Week" the departments are offered free car seat checks, as well as a bike skills course and hands only CPR training.
Officers say that learning small things could help save your child's life in the event of an emergency.
"Four out of five people are installing car seats and don't realize that there is something wrong or it's not in correctly," said Meg Langston of the Wilmington Fire Department. "We really encourage people to get their seats checked in their opportunities throughout New Hanover County. Lots of things that people don't realize are wrong are that their harness retainer clip, which is the little clip in their car seat, is not in the right place on their child or the seat belt is not locking in place and when they drive around it moves a little bit more than it should."
North Carolina law requires that a child be restrained in a car until they're at least eight years old or weigh more than eighty pounds.

Finally some action! I'm disappointed Lori is still there, but I guess they'll keep her around till she has the baby (like she needs another one to not look after). Is she the worst actress ever? I wondered after her reaction to Rick confessing he killed Shane...it was the same look my daughter gets on her face when I tell her to go clean the cat's litter box.
WTH was that chick with the pet armless zombies??? I swear my mouth actually dropped open.
Two useless characters down, a few more to go. I really thought we would be bidding farewell to J Dog or whatever the hell his name is, and possibly Herschel. I'm also completely over Glenn - he's a wuss and he & Maggie are a horrible couple. Darryl & Andrea are still my solid favorites.

As fun as it is to complain about "music these days," and how it's all been downhill since The Chronic came out, it's even MORE fun to listen to — wait for it — good music. Every Tuesday, a.k.a. Music Release Day, we'll highlight five albums worth (legally) downloading or driving to the local Best Buy (lolz) for.
Today, we've got selections from Tig Notaro, Rick Ross, and more.
Live by Tig Notaro
It's not often we include comedy albums in this feature, but it's not often a comedy like this comes out.
Back in August, we wrote:
Notaro, who has been on Conan and The Sarah Silverman Program and released a very funny comedy album in 2011 called Good One, had been told that she had cancer, specifically breast cancer, in both breasts. Although Notaro had discussed the diagnosis on her Professor Blastoff podcast, this was her first stand-up set since doctors passed along the unfortunate news, and according to special guest Louis C.K. via Twitter, "in 27 years doing this, I've seen a handful of truly great, masterful standup sets. One was Tig Notaro last night at Largo." (Via)
This is that set. It's refreshingly honest, distressingly sad, and hilariously self-aware. Or, to quote an audience member whose exclamation speaks for everyone listening, "This is f*cking amazing! It's beautiful! Do not stop."
The Black Bar Mitzvah by Rick Ross
Although the quality of the unexpected mixtape never quite lives up to the album artwork, it's still worth giving a listen to, based on the guest appearances from Drake, Puffy, Gunplay, Omarion, Lil' Reese, and Rockie Fresh. For more on The Black Bar Mitzvah, checking out the Smoking Section.
Halcyon by Ellie Goulding
It took over a year for Ellie Goulding's surprise hit, "Lights," to peak at #2 on the Billboard charts. That's not so much a criticism as it is pointing out an impressive feat. Every week, the song grew more and more popular, to the point where it became unavoidable. But it never hit the same obnoxious nerve as, say, Alex Clare's "Too Close" or even "Call Me Maybe" — it sounded more authentic, more from the heart, not the laptop worked on by a team of songwriters, and it was impossible to not be impressed by Goulding's soaring, equal parts fragile and forceful voice.
On her second album, Goulding wanted and succeeded in making something, in her own words, "bit more tribal, a bit more anthemic." Unlike too many of today's pop songs (I know, I know), where the beat tells you what to think and how to fell, you can actually hear the emotion in Goulding's vocals, whether it be triumphant or bitter or something dangerously in between. Halcyon is good enough to make you forget about her relationship with Skrillex.
119 by Trash Talk
Spit-fire hardcore punk from a band that recently signed with the record label founded by fellow musical anarchists, Odd Future. It's a match made in, well, maybe not Heaven, but more likely, somewhere where the preferred soundtrack is roaring guitars, charred vocals, and terrifying intensity.
Twins by Ty Segall
Ty Segall's third album of the year = Ty Segall's third excellent twitchy garage rock album of the year. The news anchors near the end of this clip give the best review of any album this year:

Journey to Hope
Dare to hope
of what could be
of what could last.
Dare to dream
of things not seen.
Imagining a life
beyond these days.
Not allowing strife to seize
a moment's joy
from these present days.
A hope. A dream.
A promise I'm not for sure.
But hoping maybe we could be
a family soon someday.
By Ruth Robbins
