Jeff's Poetry
Order Chapbook
Poetry Contests
Literary Links
"Joyride" first appeared in Runes: A Review of Poetry (Winter, 2006).
in Uncle Jack's rusted Cadillac,
driving by the sign that marked the edge
of town, honking at stray dogs,
our lives abandoned and hungry.
Swigging Black Velvet
from a silver flask, he was a man
mastering the profession of debauchery.
His hands cracked, fingernails black
from ten hours a day behind
the dragline, excavating his own heart.
where he could see the future with its long claws, sitting
patiently, waiting for me in the depths as it had
for him. They'd dug straight to Hell, he said—
our echoes like rocks falling through a thousand graves.
We swerved along Cemetery Road, buried miles
of silence, twisters of dust flung from the wheels.
He'd yawn, and I'd shake him to stay awake,
not wanting to stop, not wanting to return
to my mother's hard voice, my father's worn belt.
So I'd lift the shiny flask to his lips
until he jolted back from that numb world, punching
the air, and me screaming, Faster! Faster!
Uncle Jack's eyes wide, howling the song,
hammering the pedal all the way to the floor.

Board approves changes to rules and regulations
The University of Texas System Board of Regents approved changes to Regents' Rules and Regulations addressing issues of transparency, accountability and access to information at a meeting on Thursday. Board Chairman Paul L. Foster directed UT System staff to provide information on other state agency governing boards' policies regarding email accounts, and he indicated the proposal will be addressed at a future meeting.
Approved changes are as follows:
Rule 10801
This is a new rule titled Policy on Transparency, Accountability and Access to Information.
The purpose of the rule is to demonstrate the board's commitment to providing transparency to the public to the fullest extent allowed by law, while ensuring protection of confidential information and personal privacy. It highlights that the UT System recognizes the importance of data collection for a variety of reasons and is continually working to remain a national leader in providing access to data. Already, the UT System Productivity Dashboard provides a decade's worth of data (where available) on the performance of UT institutions and is available online to the public.
The rule outlines a specific process for regents' requests for information, including:
- Requests by an individual regent for information will be submitted to the chancellor. The chairman of the Board of Regents and the general counsel to the board will be copied on the request.
- Requests that require compiling significant amounts of data will be reviewed by the chairman and chancellor. Discussions with the regent making the request may follow, both to ensure the request is appropriate in its scope to avoid inefficiencies and to make sure the request can be fulfilled in a timely matter.
- Requests that should not require significant time and effort can be processed through the Board of Regents' Office and the Chancellor's Office.
- The Chancellor's Office will respond to a regent's request within 72 hours with an estimated date for delivery or production. UT System administration and institutional staff are expected to respond thoroughly and appropriately to requests from the board or the chancellor.
The rule also directs UT System Administration to look for ways to expand public access to information. In 2012, the UT System developed a web page that lists all Texas Public Information Act requests submitted to the System. The Board expects that documents responsive to those requests also be made available electronically. A timeline for implementation will be developed by the chancellor in consultation with the chairman.
Rule 10101
An addition to this rule calls for information requests from regents to be processed under the guidance of new Rule 10801.
Rule 10403
Changes to this rule clarify who may speak on behalf of the Board of Regents or the UT System, particularly on controversial matters. Generally, statements on controversial subjects will be made by the chairman of the Board of Regents or the UT System chancellor. An addition to the rule deems that, to the extent possible, regents will coordinate media contacts with the UT System Office of External Relations.

It's not often I'll post here about someone not based in North Carolina. But Billy Frank Jr. was a titan of a man whose life deserves wide celebration and remembrance. If you knew Billy, then you know why. If you weren't aware of his life and work, I'd like to take a few minutes to explain.
Where I come from out West, the treaties Indian tribes signed with the United States government were largely made in peace. In exchange for all of the land that now makes up western Washington, 2.2 million acres, tribes like Billy's Nisqually tribe signed agreements with Gov. Isaac Stevens to preserve their way of life.
It was a pretty sweet deal for the settlers: they got rich, fertile land upon which they could prosper. All the tribes really wanted: to keep fishing and hunting, feeding their families and preserving a culture that had been around since time immemorial. By signing these treaties, the tribes were codifying those rights into law: Article 6, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution says that treaties are the "supreme law of the land," on a par with the constitution itself.
But soon, those rights were violated by settlers who wanted to take all the fish and game for themselves, and by state governments who were less than interested in honoring treaty commitments.
What the Pacific Northwest needed was a leader with the passion, charisma and guts to stand up for what was right. Luckily, it had Billy.
The Martin Luther King of Northwest coast native rights was arrested more than 50 times during the so-called "fish wars" of the 60s and 70s for acts of civil disobedience. He was beaten, shot at, slandered and spit on, but he never let it embitter him.
Billy was larger than life, too. A gregarious, friendly man with the firm handshake of a lifelong fisherman, you always knew he was in the room and were always glad of it. It says something that, though he was in his 80s, his passing has stunned many of us. Billy Frank Sr. lived to be 104. I assumed we'd have Billy around for another decade or two, at least. Even his political opponents largely loved Billy, and those that didn't had to respect him.
Billy was one of the reasons I went to work for the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, an organization he chaired for more than 30 years. Besides his passion for treaty rights, Billy understood as few do that healthy fish runs require paying close attention to ecological preservation.
Without habitat, fish and elk have no way to sustain themselves — and neither do we. Billy was a leader with vision who always saw the big picture. He saw the connections between social justice for communities of color and environmental protection. He was passionate about building a better future for native youth — and for everyone.
Up until his last days, Billy was working to make sure that his kids, and yours, and theirs, and theirs — and however many "theirs" you want to attach on the end — would have a healthy planet that would support wild salmon. He was working to protect the sacred commitments that in turn protect the communities he loved.
If you care about the U.S. Constitution, you should care about Billy Frank. If you're concerned with honoring oaths and the dignity of keeping your word, you should be glad he lived. If you fight for social justice in any capacity, you had a fellow traveler. If you're concerned about the fate of the planet we're leaving to our children, you owe him a debt.
And if you have a beating heart in your chest, as God is my witness, you would have loved him.

Part of the Silverwood "Silver Anodised" bakeware range. Silver anodised bakeware provides efficient and even heat conduction and distribution throughout the pan leading to excellent results and reduced cooking time.
Anodised bakeware does not rust, blister or peel and the silver finish gives an easy release and clean surface. The loose base allows you to release your cake without the worry of the bottom falling out.
Dimensions: 7 x 2.5 inches. Designed and manufactured in the UK.
Alan Silverwood Limited is a family firm, based close to Birmingham's vibrant commercial centre. Established in 1966 to supply education authorities, we have specialised in manufacturing a distinctive range of domestic bakeware.
At a time when shops are awash with products imported from around the globe, Silverwood bakeware, manufactured here in our Birmingham factory, stands out as a high-quality, long-lasting alternative to the "pile-it-high, sell-it-cheap" competition. Many of the innovative designs are unique to us.
All our bakeware is based on our uncompromising ideal that products bearing our family name should be a source of satisfaction to our customers and pride to ourselves.
Over the years we have frequently been asked to explain the special benefits of our bakeware.
Visually, the most obvious difference is that our products are NOT coated with PTFE.
However, the most significant factor lies in the core material from which we manufacture our pans. This core draws-in all available heat and distributes it evenly throughout the pan, leaving no scorched hot-spots or part-cooked soggy areas.
Heat Spread Technology is a term we have coined to describe these features.
When it comes to freezing, the same high conductivity properties mean that you can freeze food in the pan quickly and efficiently. Similarly, time saving in-the-pan defrosting is an additional benefit, with warmth being swiftly drawn back through the pan and into your food.

German Newspapers Want Google To Pay Them For Appearing In Search Results (Even As They Try To Rank Higher)
from the insanity-offense deptAbout four years ago, you may recall, a group of German publishers were absolutely furious at Google for daring to send them traffic. At the time, they more or less admitted that they were just jealous that Google was able to earn revenue:
Hans-Joachim Fuhrmann, a spokesman for the German Newspaper Publishers Association, said the Web sites of all German newspapers and magazines together made 100 million euros, or $143 million, in ad revenue, while Google generated 1.2 billion euros from search advertising in Germany.Of course, as we pointed out at the time, he was comparing apples to oranges. Google earns money from search advertising. And the newspapers earn money from advertising as well, so the claim that the newspapers earn "nothing" is wrong. However, two years later, the publishers convinced the German government to take a stand and claim that showing news snippets and linking to the source somehow required a license. That resulted in a legislative fight, ending last year with a somewhat watered down snippet law that no one was entirely sure applied to Google.
"Google says it brings us traffic, but the problem is that Google earns billions, and we earn nothing," Mr. Fuhrmann said.
Well, it appears the publishers aren't satisfied with how this has all worked out, because as Jeff Jarvis is pointing out, they've kicked off a legal arbitration process, in which they're demanding 11% of gross worldwide revenue on any search result that includes one of their snippets. This has been filed by the VG Media industry group. This is bizarre on multiple levels, including the fact that if everyone was able to get that, given the "10 blue links" nature of Google, the company would have to pay out over 100% of its search revenue to the very same people they're sending traffic to. That's... ridiculous.
Of course, we've seen all of this before. In nearby Belgium, a bunch of newspapers demanded payment back in 2006, and a court then ordered Google to pay up. When Google, instead, decided to remove those newspapers from its index, the very same Belgian newspapers flipped out and demanded to be let back into Google. Eventually, for reasons that I still don't understand, Google effectively decided to pay off the Belgian newspapers with a promise of vaguely helping them to make money online. I would imagine that the German newspapers are just looking for a similar handout. Same thing as French newspapers.
However, the example of the Belgians both demanding payment, but then also freaking out when they were removed from the index, is instructive. These newspapers receive tremendous benefits from being included in Google: Google sends them a ton of traffic. That's why they got so upset when removed. The problem is that (1) they're apparently bad at monetizing that traffic and (2) they're jealous of Google, thus demanding a pay off of some sort. As Danny Sullivan writes about this latest lawsuit, the true hypocrisy is apparent in the fact that the German newspapers, supposedly so upset about Google listing them without paying, have not only done nothing to remove themselves from Google's index (as can be easily done), but have actually made use of Google's tools to enhance their appearance within Google.
As Sullivan notes, these newspapers aren't being "swept up into Google's results against their wills," but rather appear to be "actively trying to gain more placement and visibility in them." And that's why this move for a cut of the revenue is so ridiculous and cynical. Basically, they're getting an incredibly valuable service from Google for free and are now demanding to get paid for it as well.

When I went on holiday earlier this year, I did something stupid and sun bathed for hours and hours.
It was daft considering I am not remotely used to the sun – yes I was SPF'd up but every individual can only tolerate so much sun. I was badly burnt, and in the evening had sunstroke and gave up my dinner. Yes, that's right.
Sit too long in the sun = you don't get to finish your dinner in a lovely restaurant because all you want to do is lie down.
Badger Bali Balm is just one of the after sun products I took with me on holiday:
I had standard Nivea after sun and Boots Soltan – both worked well but when you are truly sun burnt you just want to swim in the stuff. Also your skin peels, it feels prickly…urgh.
Now you don't get shedloads of product in the Badger Balm tin, BUT you only need a bit.
Do Badger's sunbathe?
They say:
Cocoa and Shea Butters combine with Olive and Jojoba to make a light, soothing total body balm good for after bath and shower, after sun, or for dry skin anywhere on the body, any time of year. The fragrance is tropical… we say Cocoa and Orange. Yet there's a Balinese hint of Lime and Ylang Ylang, floral tones of Lavender, and the apple blossom scent of Tanacetum Annum.
I didn't pay much attention to the scent – well I could smell the lime but I was in too much pain to care about that. But yes, it smells quite nice and tropical.
This is a thick balm, once it's melted down a bit it's more like vaseline. I slapped this over my sunburnt skins and by the next day it had calmed my skin down A LOT.
It didn't fix it as such but it really did help .
Because the formula is so hydrating and thick it works as a spot treatment for very sore areas. I wouldn't use this as an all over after sun because it's too heavy for that and it's not economical to…
It's £3.64 from Bath & Unwind! (Best price I found!) I want the Yoga & Meditation and Tension Soother balm now!

I wonder if the Stormtroopers don't also have new helmets, that may even be removable. They look a little bigger than the VOTC version, to me--one of the few things that could be improved on that figure, in my opinion.

text: Mutt 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2013 I found some decals that use a colorful ink and are on a clear cellophane-like paper. The images that are on them are some classical chinese design. There is a bit of lettering with people catching koi or with a phoenix. They don't have a brand name or any instructions. I cut off a small piece and used denatured alcohol to try and adhere it. It got a bit sticky but mostly it rubbed holes in the small piece. I was wondering if anyone had come across something like this and if the could help me with instructions on how to use them.

Each worked for a living or struggled with unemployment.
Each was part of a family and community: a father or mother, husband or wife, son or daughter, friend or neighbor – loved ones who retrieved the mutilated body and grieved over it.

|OKLAHOMA'S eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
OSWG Annual Web and Communications Conference, October 25-26
OKLAHOMA CITY – August 25, 2011 – Public sector web and communications professionals convened in Oklahoma City's Metro Technology Center for the The Oklahoma State Webmanagers Group (OSWG) Fall Conference 2011: Innovation and Modernization, Oct. 25-26. The conference featured a keynote address by Governor Mary Fallin and State of Oklahoma Chief Information Officer Alex Pettit.
"Online citizen communication and services are vitally important to making government accessible," said OK.gov General Manager, Mark Mitchell, "This conference helps all levels of public sector webmanagers and communicators share best practices to advance eGovernment in Oklahoma."
The conference offered a day of pre-conference sessions featuring in-depth classes with expert speakers and a second conference day with a variety of shorter sessions aimed at providing key information and best practices on topics ranging from social media to mobile applications and video captioning to Drupal/Open Public CMS.
"From the rapidly expanding mobile technology capabilities to the increasing adoption of social media, government technology employees need to continue to innovate and keep pace with the changing technology," said Alex Pettit, Chief Information Officer of the State of Oklahoma. "Using technology to its fullest potential brings efficiencies to our cities, counties, and the state."
Conference sessions were relevant to public sector communications and web professionals from state agencies, city government and services, higher education institutions, corporations, and all developers interested in skill building.
Conference speakers provided ideas, designs, and information agencies could implement immediately following the conference. The conference was also an opportunity to meet and network with people in the industry.
"This two-day, statewide conference grew out of a need to provide an Oklahoma conference choice created specifically for local and state government web developers, web managers, public information officers, communication specialists, IT program managers and individuals interested in the latest web development techniques," Debra Herlihy, OSWG president, said. "The OSWG seeks to meet the needs of our attendees by increasing their knowledge of web development, usability and accessibility."

Few things strike the fancy of man and woman, human, elf and dwarf alike quite like jewels and gems. They have magical properties, and with their rainbow of hues and color not even gold can match them for artistic value. These magnificent stones can be found in many places, and the realms of the underworld, the hells and the forlorn abysses are no exception.
1. Apyral
A deep bloody red jewel, often mistaken for ruby by inexperienced eyes. The stone is hard, but it is not difficult to shape. The jewel can be mistaken for Garnet by well trained eyes, and it usually takes an alchemist, talented wizard, or a dwarf centuries of age to tell the difference. Apyral has many properties but the most common are sexual impotence, infertility, and in the case of large precision cut stones, consumption and death. Apyral jewels do not affect demonic or infernal creatures as such, and for them, act as repositories of lust and fertility. Most apyral finds it's way to the mortal realm either through the hands in inexperienced adventurers or in the case of tainted and hellsent jewelry.
2. Methustine
A vivid purple stone, the color of a deep bruise or the pallor of a ruddy corpse, Methustine is a commonly found hell stone. It can be mistaken for amethyst of varying qualities but the darker the hue, the stronger the charms of the stone. Most high grade Methustine is discovered to be of infernal origin so most Methustine crystals are generally of middle to lower quality and the onset of their effects is muted or delayed. The stone amplifies the effects of poisons and toxins. In the case of alcohol, a deep purple Methustine could make one glass of wine the same as guzzling twenty, while a poor almost clear stone would only double it. This affects everything from alcohol to insect bites to alchemical concoctions brewed to kill. Another effect of the stone is that the effects of disease are greatly magnified, much in the same way as with poisons and toxins. Finally, prolonged exposure to the stone can cause the rapid rot and puetrification of food and drink. Jewelry made with Methustine is usually tagged as being cursed due the rapid deaths of the those who wear it. Infernal creatures find the stone to bolster their defence against holy water, incense and other agents effective against the creatures of Hell.
3. Veliru
A vivid stone, the blue green color of the sea. Easily mistaken for aquamarine, Veliru is most commonly found in coastal areas and in the troves of cultures associated with the sea and sea lore. The stone is not easily worked, and once worked it is most commonly found in the pommels of daggers, crowns, and necklaces. Like the other stones of the underworld it has many unpleasant side effects. Veliru is the stone of fear and cowardice, and someone with a piece of this stone will find their courage sapped, and will soon become the slave of their own fears, groveling for their lives or killing out of frantic paranoia. The longer the stone is retained, the worse the effects become and the bearer is soon overcome by a spiritual 'blindness'. They do not lose their sight, but rather they lose sight of their own inegrity and spiritual beliefs. A kind man quickly becomes a harried recluse, while a belligerent man becomes a kill first and discourage any and all questions sort of fellow. In the hands of the infernal, veliru is a stone associated with infernal prophecy and great courage.
4. Adamas
The jewel of hubris, adamas is among the most highly sought out of the infernal stones. The gem is nigh indistinguishable from a normal diamond and in terms of magic and sorcery is it completely interchangeable. However, whatever effect the spell had is hopelessly corrupted by the stone, such as a resurrection spell brings forth a vice corrupted evil spectre of the person being raised. Adamas is associated strongly with narcissistic rage, lack of self control and delusions of strength. Adamas has been found in the hilts of cursed swords and in the crowns of kings gone mad with power. Demons crave adamas above all other stones as it fuels them with unholy strength and resolve, often to the point of being able to resist potent divine magics and overcoming divine servitors and beings in battle.
5. Zomorrod
The Gem of Lust is easily mistaken for emerald, though a skilled jewelsmith can tell the difference between the two. Emeralds often have many inclusions where zomorrods typically are of exceptional clarity and vivid color. Zomorrod is a rather common infernal stone that regularly finds its way to the surface world where is is known as the stone of lust. Where emerald is known for its associations with loyalty and love zomorrod is much more infamous for lust, depravity, misogyny and adultery. An unsuspecting demure lady given a ring of zomorrod could in a short time find herself the match for deSade's lust and abuses, while a married matron and mother of a dozen children could find herself with the appetites of a nymph. While the effects of the stone are largely non-fatal, the cost of infedility can range from sexual diseases, prostitution induced poverty to death, be it from a poorly chosen lover or by the enraged spouse that isn't involved with the perversion. Zomorrod grants infernal creatures legendary charisma and sexual stamina.
6. Awillix
A soft silkly lustrous stone, awillix is an easy stand in for moonstone. The stone is easily worked into cameos, decorative jewelry and goods such as on mirrors, brushes, scabbards, buttons, and other things easily overlooked. Awillix is the gemstone of apathy and false emotions, feigned love that is fond hatred, offense that is only half felt, passion that is much annoyance as pleasure. The unfortunate victim of awillix is never quite happy, but the things that offend them, are only somewhat offensive and they soon become apathatic or afflicted by a terrible sense of ennui. The stone is also somewhat of a magnet for dark serendipity, the most inopportune things seem to happen to them. They are always home when the taxman arrives, or they always get the worst cut of meat, or the cheese that is most spoiled, and if there is a poisoned goblet they will pick it. The infernal and the helltainted find awillix to be a lucky stone that gives them a sense of purpose.
7. Xerle
The jewel of bitches and bastards, xerle is easily mistaken for ruby. Xerle is a highly valued gem, as it easily masquerades as ruby and those who possess it generally abuse anyone who insults their flawless jewels. The vivid red stone causes many personality quirks to manifest in those unfortunate enough to possess it. They become arrogant, abusive, convinced of their own value and the worthlessness of others, as well as growing a tremendous sense of entitlement. This quickly causes them to become argumentative and willing to settle their disputes with others quickly with violence. They become easily provoced and fail to judge their opponents with any degree of wisdom, be it a chuckle from an ogre or a taunt from a millenia old liche violence is always the answer. The infernal favor Xerle for it's hellish nobility, and it grants them strength and self control.
8. Faridat
Often mistaken for peridot or demon jade faridat is neither. This stone shines with the light of the sickly green sun that shines across the mouth of the abyss and across the upper planes of Hell. Filled with the light of Hell, this stone is poison to the soul. Bearers of the vile colored jewel are choked on a noxious miasma of nostalgia and sentimentalism, and when they are not lost in their memories they are seemingly afflicted with a withering of the mind. They can easily remember the most pointless of details about a silver spoon not seen in twenty years or how their childhood pet always wore this collar, but they can easily forget their own name, or the last time they ate. Victims of faridat quickly become hoarders and soon either starve to death or become recluses of the first order. The spawn of the lower planes find that a piece of faridat can restore their vision and purpose if they have been trapped in creation too long.
9. Kohol
The jewel of poverty shines brilliantly, coveted like it's daylight brother the sapphire. Kohol is a hard resilient stone that has a long and odious history and association with poverty, loss, envy and jealosy. The beggar's Stone fills the bearer with a constant sense of restlessness and worry. Nothing seems right, so long as the stone remains in their presence and they fidget, fumble and very quickly fritter away anything they ever had. Any cure all is purchased, any promise is taken at face value and it is not long before they have nothing, having been conned, swindled or simply robbed of everything they own (excepting the tainted jewel). Within a year, a prosperous merchant might have sold his ships, his cargos, and his worldly possessions trying to ease his mind and to be sure that there isn't anything wrong with the chain his precious jewel is on. Eventually, someone will unwrap the rag clad beggar's corpse to find a single blue stone clutched in a withered bony hand.
10. Paedero
The jewel of the Evil Eye, paedero pretends to be a scintillating piece of opal. Bearers of paedero are stricken with weaknesses of the mind, body, and spirit. They are physically weakened over time until they are hunch backed and shaking with palsy, unable to hold still or hold their bladders. Their minds become feeble and weak, forgetting things, and generally becoming unable to pay attention long enough to carry on a conversation. They become passive and emotionally void, often forgetting how to even feel emotions other than a quivering dissatisfaction. They are easily corruptable by infernal agents, and rise as new beings. Instead of being sapped by paedero, the infernal find themselves fortified by the stone, their limbs strong, their loins fiery, and and their hunger keen.
11. Pitdah
Nothing shines like a golden flashing pitdah. Even the finest topaz falls short it its inescapable glory. The stone comes in large gleaming pieces, easily made into brilliant jewelry. But a pitdah is a magnet to dark spirits, and soon the residence housing a pitdah is a nest of foul ghosts, malevolent spirits, and a cess pool of negative energy. Accidents are common, sometimes fatal. Emotions run dark and angry and violence is very common. Bearers of pitdah stones quickly become obsessed with both the stone and whatever interests they had. A bibliophile would not think twice about cracking an old woman's skull to peruse her dog eared holy book, or burn down the home of a rival book lover to claim his collection upon is grisly death. Pitdahs are favored by the infernal as the stone grants them physical protections and focuses their minds for magical prowess.
12. Pirozeh
The stone pirozeh is easily worked and like turquoise can be worked into jewelry, or came be made into jewelry in it's entirety. The lustrous blue green stone isn't as highly valued as the other stones, given it's somewhat malleable nature and being completely opaque. Pirozeh is the jewel of fools. Bearers of the stone become idiotic and childish, their grasp of wisdom and consequence fading with the stones presence. This jester's gem is also associated with blind materialism and greed, and generally poor health as constant hoarding and eating to excess are common. Demons and devils love pirozeh as it is easy to corrupt mortals with, and in their hands it is a stone of wisdom and good health.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Hurdy-Gurdy
HURDY-GURDY (Fr. vielle à manivelle, symphonie or chyfonie à roue; Ger. Bauernleier, Deutscheleier, Bettlerleier, Radleier; Ital. lira tedesca, lira rustica, lira pagana), now loosely used as a synonym for any grinding organ, but strictly a medieval drone instrument with strings set in vibration by the friction of a wheel, being a development of the organistrum (q.v.) reduced in size so that it could be conveniently played by one person instead of two. It consisted of a box or soundchest, sometimes rectangular, but more generally having the outline of the guitar; inside it had a wheel, covered with leather and rosined, and worked by means of a crank at the tail end of the instrument. On the fingerboard were placed movable frets or keys, which, on being depressed, stopped the strings, at points corresponding to the diatonic intervals of the scale. At first there were 4 strings, later 6. In the organistrum three strings, acted on simultaneously by the keys, produced the rude harmony known as organum. When this passed out of favour, superseded by the first beginnings of polyphony over a pedal bass, the organistrum gave place to the hurdy-gurdy. Instead of acting on all the strings, the keys now affected the first string only, or "chanterelle," though in some cases certain keys, made longer, also reached the third string or "trompette"; the result was that a diatonic melody could be played on the chanterelles. The other open strings always sounded simultaneously as long as the wheel was turned, like drones on the bag-pipe.
The hurdy-gurdy originated in France at the time when the Paris School or Old French School was laying the foundations of counterpoint and polyphony. During the 13th and 14th centuries it was known by the name of Symphonia or Chyfonie, and in Germany Lira or Leyer. Its popularity remained undiminished in France until late in the 18th century. Although the hurdy-gurdy never obtained recognition among serious musicians in Germany, the idea embodied in the mechanism stimulated ingenuity, the result being such musical curiosities as the Geigenwerk or Geigen-Clavicymbel of Hans Hayden of Nuremberg (c. 1600), a harpsichord in which the strings, instead of being plucked by quills, were set in vibration by friction of one of the little steel wheels, covered with parchment and well rosined, which were kept rotating by means of a large wheel and a series of cylinders worked by treadles. Other instruments of similar type were the Bogenclavier invented by Joh. Hohlfeld of Berlin in 1751 and the Bogenflügel by C. A. Meyer of Görlitz in 1794. In Adam Walker's Celestina (1772) the friction was provided by a running band instead of a bow. (K. S.)

The headline seems preposterous.
Pure substance-less hype.
Prattle. Nonsense. Cheese.
Can anyone really earn 25 times their money in just five years? That computes to an annual return of 90% per year, turning a $40,000 investment into $1 million by May 2011. It strikes veteran investors as unfathomable.
But turn back the clock five and a half years to December 2000, and observe with me Urban Outfitters
The question is: How could you have found it back then?
Finding great returns
Well, it would have been extremely difficult had you not been intentionally trying to unearth the next small-cap winner. We embrace that challenge with our thousands of contributing members every day in Motley Fool Hidden Gems, because logic and history demonstrate that the major winners of tomorrow are companies capitalized at less than $1 billion today.
So what was so special about Urban Outfitters in 2000 that we actively screen for in Hidden Gems now? Among other things:
- Solid financials.
- A non-dilutive board.
- Founding leaders with major ownership stakes.
Back then, Urban Outfitters featured double-digit sales growth, $20 million in cash, and no debt. Rather than printing stock options like free lottery tickets, the board of directors was buying back stock. The company's two founders -- Richard Hayne and Scott Belair -- were (and are) engaged as board members. Thirty years after starting the business, they had a major incentive to drive the company. Together, they owned more than 45% of the business. Their combined stock holdings were worth $77 million in 2000. Today, they still own more than $1 billion of Urban Outfitters stock.
Other companies that have fit this mold in the past are Time Warner
These factors -- solid financials, a non-dilutive board, and founding leaders with major ownership stakes -- are some of the core variables we screen for in Hidden Gems. From there, we carry out qualitative research with our thousands of members. To go beyond the quantitative screen, you have to do qualitative research to learn that back in 2000, Urban Outfitters was powering up its expansion of Anthropologie stores with great success.
All the way to a 25-bagger.

carcass(redirected from carcass merit)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.
The body of a dead animal; in reference to animals used for human food, the body after the hide, head, tail, extremities, and viscera have been removed.
[F. carcasse, fr. It. carcassa]
carcassFood industry
The body of a livestock animal from which the head, hide, legs, tail and viscera have been removed before rendering it into cuts of meat.
Vox populi
Any dead animal, including a human, for which the term cadaver is generally preferred.
A dead body; the term is usually used to describe nonhuman bodies such as the remains of a steer or a sheep.
carcass, carcase
1. the body of an animal killed for meat. The head, the legs below the knees and hocks, the tail, the skin and most of the viscera are removed. The kidneys are left in and in most instances the body is split down the middle through the sternum and the vertebral bodies. Pig carcasses are dehaired (see below). Bird carcasses are not split; the feathers are removed after scalding but the skin is not removed and no viscera are left in place. In New York dressed poultry the viscera are left in.
2. the body of any dead animal.
carcass condemnation
meat inspection is carried out on the live animal and on viscera but the principal activity is during the carcass stage. If specific abnormalities are found which indicate that the carcass, or part of it, is unfit for human consumption it is condemned. It may be used for other purposes, e.g. after special processing inclusion in animal feeds.
carcass contamination
bacterial contamination of the carcass is a serious cause of deterioration of meat during storage. It is contributed to by having the animal come onto the abattoir floor with the hair and hide badly contaminated, by careless handling of the hide and the viscera, especially the alimentary tract, contamination of the water in scalding tanks for birds and pigs, and by lack of personal hygiene on the part of abattoir workers.
carcass dehairing
pig carcasses are not skinned. They are scalded and the bristles and superficial layers of skin scraped off. The scalding vat can be a source of serious contamination.
carcass differentiation
identification of the species, sex and age of a carcass is an important function of meat hygiene because of the need to guarantee the authenticity of the description of meat at the retail point. Much of this can be done on gross examination but final determination may require laboratory tests, especially in cases where fraudulent substitution is suspected.
carcass disposal
is necessary in an abattoir for condemned carcasses. Complete incineration is necessary in cases of highly infectious disease. Heat treatment sufficient to sterilize the tissues is carried out on less dangerous materials, leading to the preparation of animal feeds or agricultural fertilizer.
At practice premises the problem is a serious one if local government provisions do not include incineration of animal material. On site incineration may be prohibited by local legislation and the need to avoid unpleasant smells. Burial is satisfactory but tedious.
carcass dressing
removal of the hide, appendages and viscera.
carcass drip
see weeping.
carcass electrical stimulation
a method of tenderizing meat by the application of electrical stimulation so as to cause muscle contraction, lowering of pH and faster autolysis.
fevered carcass
congestion of the vessels so that the surfaces of tissues have a redder appearance, and individual vessels are more readily seen.
carcass merit
scale used in assessing carcass traits.
carcass setting
rigor mortis. The muscles are hard, the joints fixed, muscle tissue loses its translucence. Proper setting is an indication of satisfactory preparation for storage of the meat without deterioration.
carcass traits
criteria used in assessing quality of a carcass. Important in determining price, suitability of breeding program, value of sire. Includes length, weight, proportion of fat and lean, distribution of fat, relative size of valuable cuts.
carcass yield
proportion of the animal's liveweight salvaged at carcass point. Called also dressed weight, killing out percentage.

Apparently, this installer thinks it's okay to leave a big open hole in the ceiling. There's no way the sheetrock can be properly patched now that this electrical work has been completed.
Section 300.21 requires us to maintain the fire resistance integrity of fire-resistant-rated ceilings, walls, floors, or partitions. In this case, an installer can meet this requirement by patching up the sheetrock or using some other approved methods. In addition, Sec. 314.21 requires repairing of broken or incomplete non-combustible surfaces around boxes using a flush-type cover or faceplate. Repairs must be made so there is no greater than 1/8-in. gaps or spaces around the box.
The next problem we can point out is the lack of a connector to secure the EMT to the box. Section 300.10 requires metal raceways and metal enclosures to be "metallically joined together." The raceway must be connected to the box in order to "provide effective electrical continuity."
Next on the violations "hit list" is Sec. 406.5(C), which states receptacles mounted to and supported by covers must be "held rigidly against the cover by more than one screw," unless the assembly is listed for use with a single screw.
Overall, this certainly violates the "neat and workmanlike" requirements of 110.12.
Literally Cutting Corners
I can only assume the installer who did this does not own a hole saw or a punch kit — although he sure does have a sharp hacksaw! Cutting and bending away the corner of this panelboard creates several Code violations.
Section 312.5 requires cables and conductors entering enclosures to be protected against abrasion. Those cut metal edges are razor sharp, and could easily cut through the NM cable jacket and conductor insulation.
Section 312.5(A) requires the huge opening to be "adequately closed." It's obvious no attempt was made to close the opening. This could easily allow debris to enter the top of the cabinet and cause serious damage to the internal parts.
Section 312.5(C) requires cable wiring methods to be "secured to the cabinet, cutout box, or meter socket enclosure." That obviously did not happen here.
I would additionally say that 110.12(B) has been violated. The last sentence in this section alerts us to the fact there shall be no damaged parts, including parts that are cut "that may adversely affect safe operation or mechanical strength of the equipment."
Huge unprotected openings, razor sharp metal edges, and unsecured cables could easily lead to a personal injury or arc-flash event at this location.

2012 Chevrolet Equinox
Good afternoon equinox_atx,
We're sorry that the dealership has had a hard time diagnosing what happened with your Equinox; if you want for us to check into this further, even if it's documenting your concerns until we have success getting this resolved, please email us at [email protected] (include your name and contact information, a summary of the situation, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and the name of your dealership).
Sarah, GM Customer Service0
daizygirl1 Posts: 1I bought a 2012 Equinox 1LT FWD, 4 cylinder in August 2012 and have about 5000 miles on it. It is currently sitting at the dealer for the second time this week awaiting a new heat actuator.
On the coldest day in the life of this vehicle, I did not have any heat. When I took it to the dealer, they told me that it worked fine for them but back flushed the heater core and returned it to me the next day. On the drive home that night, the heater faltered again and the service department at the dealership basically told me that I don't know how to work my car.
Should this kind of thing be happening at 5000 miles? Has this problem happened to anyone else in this model/year?0
If you would like for us to follow up on this with your dealership, please email us at [email protected] (include your name and contact information, a summary of the situation, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and the name of your involved dealership).

alexsmith Posts: 1Purchased a new 2012 Traverse LT in June, Experiencing Rough idle when first starting after a long sit, and engine noise when cold (sounds like a pulley).0
Good morning alexsmith,
Have you had this checked into by your dealership? Were they able to locate the source of the rough idle and engine noise?
Sarah, GM Customer Service0
Hey Folks, after a few rants and raves on the "Fight for the Recall of the Nissan Rogue" forum, we traded it in and purchase a gently used 2012 Equinox with 15,000 miles on it. I must say that we have been Asian Import owners for the better part of the last 15 years and this vehicle impressed us. Better fuel efficiency, larger cargo space, more legroom, just to mention some of the highlights I have noticed (It's my Wife's Primary Vehicle) I am in the Auto Service Field as an Independent Service Facility Manager, with a technical background, but by no means a master technician.
I do have some questions about some of the quirks we have noticed.
When sitting at idle in park, with the ECO enabled, the vehicle has a lower than normal idle and feels slightly rough (800rpm ECO off, 600rpm ECO on) with a surge in idle speed. Disabling the ECO function clears this up and the engine idle returns to normal with no surge or rough idle noted.
Also, the operation of the transmission is harsher in ECO mode. We live on the top of a hill, with a significant incline to the road leading up to the house. When we come up the hill with ECO enabled, the transmission seems to hunt for the proper gear for the torque required, then abruptly drop into a gear and make the transit up the hill. With ECO disabled, the uphill transit is easier with a downshift that is substabtally smoother and no lag time for gear hunting.
Has anyone else had these or simalar observations with the 2012 Equinox? Ours is an LS with the inline 4, FWD.
I have noticed that GM Customer Service is Monitoring this forum. That is alot more proactive than Nissan was.
I'm looking forward to some responses.
Congratulations on your new Equinox, Rusty! Wishing you many safe, happy miles!
In regards to your Fuel Economy Mode questions, I found the following information in the manual for you (section begins on 9-31). I hope that it's helpful!
"When Fuel Economy Mode is on:
. The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later.
. The torque converter clutch will apply sooner and stay on longer.
. The gas pedal will be less sensitive.
. The vehicle's computer will more aggressively shut off fuel to the
engine under deceleration.
. The engine idle speed will be lower.
. Driving performance is more conservative."
I think some of these bullet points correlate to the questions you had had. We're available to you if you should have any further questions on vehicle function or want anything looked into further. Please contact us at [email protected] (please include your name and contact information, as well as the last 8 digits of your VIN, with your inquiry).
Sarah, GM Customer Service0
Sarah, thank you for the feedback. It does explain/clarify the issues. I am concerned about the idle surge. In earlier model year vehicles, idle surge is normally associated with the idle control valve sticking due to carbon buildup or restriction of the air bypass passage in the throttle body. Have there been other reports of idle surge or fluctuation as I have described? If so, would cleaning the throttle body help?
Again, the direct feedback is very much appreciated.
We can certainly understand your concern, Rusty. Unfortunately I am quite limited in my access to technical information and while I would love to provide more information publicly I have reached the end of my resources.
As you are well within your factory warranties, it may not be a bad idea to get the idle checked out by a technician with one of our dealers to see if it is normal or not. They would be better equipped than I to make that judgement. If you would like for us to work with you through that process, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at [email protected]
Sarah, GM Customer Service0
Everything you are asking is normal in ECO Mode. We have 2012 LT2 Equinox inline 2.4. ECO Mode drops idle to save gas. Car will shift faster to get you in a higher gear to save gas. We have found ECO Mode works best on the road not in town.0
ronwel Posts: 57I owned a 2010 1LT, and currently own a 2012 1LT Nox. and my father owns a 2011 1LT Nox...each one of these cars has a rough idle when the ECO is turned on. My 2010 really felt like it was going to stall several times the RPMs got so low. The engine would start to stall, then 'catch" itself and rev up again. Your RMP numbers are exactly what mine were.
I went to my dealer and talked to several of the techs their. Each one of them laughed and said that they have heard the same complains from a lot of owners of ECO equiped cars...not just Nox owners. They all felt that GM was a bit to agressive in "fuel econnomy" in ECO mode, and bsically are starving the engine of gas.
Since talking to the techs neither my father nor myself run our Noxs in ECO mode...and both idle quiet and smooth.0
cisco24 Posts: 1Bought our Equinox 6 months ago. Primary user is my wife who drives approx 30 miles to school each way. Her trip is approx. 70% highway and 30% stop and go. She is very aware of MPG and keeps good records of cost and distance. She is averaging over 30 miles per gallon for her commute. When buying the Equinox I was a bit skeptical about the claim of over 30MPG highway considering 4cyl. and size/wt. of the car. We both really enjoy the ride. It is a tight vehicle and attractive.0
worried8 Posts: 1Bought 2012 Nox 4 cyl .... 2 weeks ago!.Ticking noise in engine.Sounds like a diesel. Its in right now getting a new actuator.. they say that will fix it.I had severe vibration a couple times at stop lights and they say they could not detect it..I felt it right through my seat and up my back...not a comfortable ride .I felt like I was on a tractor...I hope I dont have a lemon..G.M. does not need a bad rap right now.Problems already? I cant believe this.So I know what you mean about the VIBRATION.0

trans_am_man Posts: 2We bought the 3.0L v6 equinox 2lt on feb 28th of 2012. It has been fantastic, we now have over 14000 miles on it in 9 months and it is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. It gets anywhere from 25 to 29 MPG on the highway even though it is only rated at 24 and it steadily gets 18 to 20 in the city even though it is rated at 17. I am a big fan of them now, I would recommend it to anyone shopping for a small suv, the handling is great, it is quiet, the touchscreen is amazing. Love it!!!!!!0
huntered Posts: 1Equinox purchased new earlier this year, approximately 10,000 miles on it currently. While driving home on I94 last night at 77 MPH I noticed a slight jerk. I then noticed that the service engine light was flashing, the flashing stopped and the light went off. This morning I contacted one local dealer to tell them what happened. The service rep. said - bring it in right now it may stall on you and you won't be able to restart it. Well that was great to hear after I just drove the NOX 35 miles to the next town. I contacted the local dealer where I was at in Valley City, ND. The service rep. told me the same thing, bring it down right away as it may stall.
I did so, several hours later the service rep. called me to tell me that a P0300 engine misfire code was found in the 4th cylinder. They checked the plug and coil and claimed all appeared to be ok. They test drove my NOX and the code didn't reappear - go figure.
I have read numerous forums and chats, while doing other research. Is this the beginning of something worse to come?0

gmbad1 Posts: 1This is my bad experience with GM and the dealer who sold it. I bought a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox from Crossroads GM in Corinth MS. After owning it less than a year and only 20,000 miles on it the engine is going to have major work done on it. I have taken it to Crossroads GM for all its service work as scheduled. Crossroads GM told me that they would not give me a loaner vehicle until they started working on mine. I complained and after 3 days with GM customer service they got me a loan vehicle, while mine was sitting outside waiting to be serviced. It has been waiting for ten days now because other vehicles are waiting on parts for repair. I was contacted today to return loan vehicle and would not get another one until they start working on mine next week. Crossroads GM does not care if my wife has a vehicle to drive to work in, she is at work with it today. I need mine to drive to work in. I bought this vehicle through my Credit Union, so GM has been paid in full for it. They do not care about my aggravation or trouble with a new vehicle they sold me. What happens a year later? Will I have more problems with the Equinox? This is fraud and completed neglect for taking care of their customers!0
ecassidy Posts: 1Was all set to buy 2013 6cyl 3.6l AWD 2LT. Love the overall size and comfort. Suits me for a lot of reasons. Thought I did enough homework but after reading these forums I am terrified to buy Equinox. The comments here make the Equinox sound like an expensive piece of junk. Some have even called it 'dangerous.' Car reviewers seem to recommend it and the people I've stopped on the street who own it seem to like it a lot. But the complaints here are terrifying! Why is the car repeatedly named a top 5 pick when such serious problems are talked about here? Don't know what to believe.
Sarah from GM -- has GM addressed what sounds like nagging issues on previous model years so that new car buyers can buy 2013 Equinox with confidence? Please respond as I am in a position where I must make a decision very soon. Thank you!0
If you read back most of of the problems were 4 banger in from 2009 to 2011. We have 2012 Nox LT2 4 banger. No issues so far. The 3.6 v6 is new for 2013 Nox. 2012 Nox had a 3.0 v6. The 3.6 v6 is a good motor. I have rented Impalas for work. They have 3.6 in them in 2012. Have not heard of any problems with the v6s. You can not beleave everything you read. Some people paid to much for their Nox. That is not cars fault. That is were you bought it. They knocked your head off and made a big profit on you. So do not blame car and make stuff up.0
They have 3.6 in them in 2012. Have not heard of any problems with the v6s.
Check out the the Acadia and Cadillac CTS forums about this engine. Good luck.0
Sorry you are wrong. They only had 3.0 v6 in the Nox for 2012. Do your research.0
The Acadia and Cadillac CTS use GM's 3.6 liter engines. The Acadia since 2007 and the CTS even prior to 2007. The 3.6 has gone from non-direct injection to direct injection, but they have have three timing chains. There's been a problem with these timing chains as they stretch. The results are catastrophic when this happens. Check out the Acadia and CTS forums and you'll see. Also, google "GM 3.6 engine timing chain problem" and you'll get many hits. If the 3.6 is made available in the Equinox, down the road, the same problem will likely occur in the Equinox. Good luck.0
deltalex Posts: 1I purchased a brand new 2012 Chevy Equinox at the end of March 2012 and it had 200 miles on it - it was driven from a neighboring city for me. I love my car and it's the first SUV I have ever owned. However, not long after purchasing I began to notice that it "jerks" really hard at least once a week. I called the dealership I purchased the vehicle from and the tech, whom has always been a great help with my other Chevys, said that his did the same thing and asked me if someone else drove it as well. I advised yes it was often driven by my fiance. He said when his wife drove his, since their driving styles were so different that it "freaked" the car out because it has an internal memory of how the car should be driven. I accepted that answer because my friend has a Lexus and was told the same thing about their vehicle a while back...so I assumed this was a new feature on new vehicles.
Yesterday while on the interstate during 80mph (KY's speed limit is 70 so I was speeding a little) it jerked so hard I'm surprised it didn't give me whiplash! I know the other drivers had to have seen my vehicle vsibly jerk if they were looking that exact moment. I thought my car had just broke right there on the road! It drove fine afterwards, but the "jerking" is apparently getting worse.
My Knox is scheduled to go into another shop - since I've since moved from my purchase dealer and I was told it sounds like the transmission or the transmission module.
Has anyone else had or heard of transmission problems in these vehicles? I don't want to owe $20,000 dollars for the next few years on a car that's going to be nothing but problems!!!! :confuse:0
Is the shop you're going to be visiting one of our GM dealerships? We want to make sure everything gets resolved, so please keep us updated.

waterviolet Posts: 6Well, we are now into the new year and so far there is no indication of further problems with Engine Operating On Reduced Power. The Fuel Pump replacement seems to be doing the trick so far. I just wanted to be sure I kept up with the feedback so others can learn from the Edmunds Forums just as I did!0
rccraig76 Posts: 1I have the same issue. Every time it does it, I have look to see if I was rear ended. This is really annoying. Mine normally does it when I take my foot off the petal and pressing it again close to it shifting. This has happened in a couple of other vehicles that I have owned but never had any of them jerk this hard. There is definitely something wrong with the transmission. I am sure it will eventually break. The dealership says that it is normal but only time will tell. I will not buy another Chevy.0
I see you've already had a dealership diagnosis that this is normal. If you wanted for us to document your concern or help you locate another dealership for a second opinion, please contact us at [email protected] (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and a brief summary of the situation so far).

alamo3 Posts: 3I've had no issues with my 2012 Equinox that I purchased one year and 15,400 miles ago. Its positives are the workmanship, the ride, and the spacious back seat. The gas mileage varies depending on how, when, and where I drive. Overall my mileage is 26.5 mpg based on total miles driven divided by gallons used. Many of these miles are in urban traffic and on interstates. My interstate speed is usually 70 mph. At 55 mph I get over 30 mpg. ECO Mode and manual shift are never used. I have been to the dealership twice to have it serviced. At the last service, I asked the mechanic about the 2.4L engine problems discussed on this forum. He told me that with synthetic oil and regular service (around 7,000 miles) I shouldn't have any problems. So far, I haven't.0
lablover2 Posts: 106i am considering either an equinox or terrain but am very concerned with all of the problems with these vehicles, can i ask why using synthetic oil would make a difference? i see so many on the street but after reading all of the problems with them i am very afraid to buy one. surely gm has to have fixed this by now,right?0

Serious Grape: Celebrate 'Open That Bottle Night' Tomorrow
On Fridays, Deb Harkness of Good Wine Under $20 drops by with Serious Grape.
Tomorrow night (Saturday, February 28) is the 10th annual Open That Bottle Night.
If you've never heard of it before, Open That Bottle Night was started by two distinguished Wall Street Journal wine writers/critics, Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher. Once a year, they encourage all of us to dig out that bottle of wine we've been holding onto for a special occasion and open it up.
February 28, they argue, is the special occasion you've been waiting for.
There are many reasons we hold onto wine without drinking it. Sometimes, we find it intimidating because we know it was expensive. Sometimes, we find it curious because it comes from a region or is made with a grape we don't know very well. And sometimes, we don't open it because we imagine it will be better later.
The problem with all of these theories is we can end up fetishizing a wine rather than drinking it.
My most memorable disaster in this department was with a white Chateauneuf-du-Pape—the 1999 Chateau La Nerthe. I bought it in England, at my favorite London wine store, Berry Brothers and Rudd. I schlepped it home, then schlepped it again when I moved houses. "It's not ready to drink yet," I told myself on more than one occasion. Then, fatefully, I announced I was saving it for when I finished a book I was working on.
We all know how that ended.
The book took longer than I anticipated. I refused to give in and drink the wine. I finally opened it in 2006 and here's the tasting note: "Left it two years too long. It was amber in color, bitter and flat on the palate, no aromas. Oxidized."
The wine was only memorable because it was awful. Not exactly what I'd been hoping for.
Gaiter and Brecher want to save you and your wine from this fate. So they hereby give you permission to open that bottle of wine you've been pushing to the back of the closet and drink it. In their words, "The point is not to show off with a great bottle or necessarily open the most prestigious bottle in your house, but to uncork a wine that holds cherished memories, the bottle that—admit it—you will never open otherwise."
They've got some suggestions for how to choose the bottle, what to do if you are opening an older bottle of wine, and say you should have a backup bottle on hand in case your treasure is now undrinkable (as mine was).
Not sure you want to drink alone? There are Open That Bottle Night events taking place all over the country. And if you don't want to leave your apartment, you can participate in, or eavesdrop on, the special Twitter tasting, which will take place on the internet at 8 p.m.
What bottle will you be opening tomorrow night? Share your plans, and any wine pack-rat confessions.

There is an Internet meme this week of young people on Twitter allegedly expressing their shock at learning that the Titanic disaster was real; they had thought it was only a movie. Whether that meme itself is real or not, it suggests that what was once an event that captured the horrified attention of millions of people is now known mainly through the lens of James Cameron's blockbuster movie.
But on May 11, 1912, The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco heard a first-person account of the sinking of the Titanic just a few weeks earlier, on April 15, 1912. Commonwealth Club member Dr. Washington Dodge had the misfortune to be a passenger on the ill-fated ship with his family (all survived, though newspaper reports at the time of their return to San Francisco noted that their five-year-old son was suffering after-effects of the chill of being in the open ocean).
If you peruse through the Transactions of the Commonwealth Club of California -- big bound books of reports that eventually evolved into the Club's current membership magazine -- you will be hard-pressed to find Dr. Dodge's speech transcribed. The editors at the time apparently thought it was more important to publish every single word of apparently voluminous discussions and debates about irrigation policies. But SFMuseum.org has posted the San Francisco Chronicle's report of Dodge's speech, and it gives a good sense of what it was like to be stuck on the stricken vessel. You can read the entire article here.
People who thought Titanic was only a movie probably were rooting for James Cameron's heroes and booing the villains, including the ineffectual Captain Edward John Smith. In the film, the captain dies after uselessly retreating to the bridge. But according to Dodge's first-person telling, the captain was actively involved in getting passengers off the ship. "When the order to launch the [life]boats was given, Captain Smith took command of the port side and never left there," Dodge told the largest audience The Commonwealth Club had yet hosted at that point.
Dodge lays the blame for the large numbers of dead on the widely held expectation that the ship would take many more hours to sink than it did:
"Those who swam from the sinking steamer at the last moment had no idea that the vessel was in danger of sinking until her bow suddenly sank deeper in the waters a few moments before she sank. As they stated, had they believed the vessel was in any danger of sinking, they would have had sufficient time, following the launching of the lifeboats, to have prepared temporary life rafts sufficient, in that calm sea, to have saved the lives of hundreds."
"...These survivors stated, however, that until the sudden downward dip of the vessel forward, coincident with the rush on to the boat deck of the steerage passengers, they did not apprehend that there was any danger of the vessel sinking for hours."
In the end, 1,514 deaths were directly caused by the ship's sinking.
And add at least one, years later. Dr. Washington Dodge committed suicide in 1919.

What effect does working in the classroom have on copyright and fair use?
Conducted in an educational space limited to instructors and students, classroom use is highly favored by copyright law. Classroom use is protected by a special exception that permits performance and display without permission. Fair use also privileges classroom use and the first factor "purpose and character" almost always favors such use. Statutory damages are also limited when educators make a good faith determination about fair use in this context.
What do you mean by "classroom"?
The copyright exceptions for "classroom" or "face to face" teaching apply in a classroom or "similar place devoted to instruction" such as a lab, lecture hall, or library instruction space.
Can I show a film in class?
You can show films in class as long as you are showing a legally-acquired copy in support of your instruction.
Can I use music in class?
The same exception for "performance" of films permits music to be played in the classroom. Physical copies may be made in some circumstances as described in this set of guidelines from the Copyright Office.
What limits exist regarding handouts in class?
Creating handouts is a core activity permitted by fair use. The Copyright Office has provided some guidance for creating handouts in the classroom and although these are not legally binding they provide useful guidelines for instructors. In brief, copies must be for a single course, use only a small amount from a given work, contain notice of copyright, and the decision to copy must be made close enough to the use that it would be unreasonable to acquire permission.
Do students in class have access to the same copyright exceptions as an instructor?
Students have the same rights to perform and display works in the classroom. Their ability to distribute handouts is more limited but may still be permissible under fair use.

I found these this am, but the case had appo, kashyyk, jedi luke, scorch, 2 yodas, a green clone from aotc, vader's droid, an obi wan, R5-A1, just a strange mix really. I was looking at vader's droid, and I thought there was an error on the spelling of darth listed somewhere (I'll go thread hunting in a moment to find it) but I noticed mine has a grammatical error on the back figure summary. It reads: "The outer darkness of his fighter and droid mirror the inner darkness of new the sith lord" Looks like Yoda's writing copy for Hasbro. Also Maces droid had a Fett holo, maybe this is old news too, but I expected a good guy-

No but I think Anton's point is it invalidates it somewhat. I mean my grammar's nothing to write home about either of course, but it's the whole "those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" thing...

As the political debate swirls around you, do you find yourself feeling just a little blue? That is, your political sentiments glow positively pink or bright red on some issues, not so much on others? So does that make you a liberal Republican or a conservative Democrat? Which party's candidates will present your hue?
Maybe this is a question of group dynamics: Are you to the right of your countrymen? your gender? your age group?
The Pew Research Center has taken 12 questions from a national survey it conducted and created a quiz that will find out where you fit on the political spectrum. Take it for a spin. For an explanation of how it placed you, click here.

Love down the road
I had known Crystal since we were kids. It started out as her being my classmate's kid sister to the beautiful young girl living with a friend. We hadn't seen each other in a long time when I walked into the school to pick up my kids & saw her sitting there. I had been a single dad for 4 years by then. Dating when I could, but mainly focusing on raising my son & daughter. I was sharing a house with my mom in my old hometown mainly because of the special needs classes they offered & my son needs. I walked in & just before my kids saw me I heard a familiar voice say "Hey Scott!" I looked to my left & there was Crystal. She was picking up her son. We had no idea that our kids went to the same school, but there we were. (We would find out later that we had been living on the same street, just 1 block difference.) She looked just as amazing as always. Now I should point out that I wasn't a weekend dad. I had my kids all the time. No weekends off. No days that they were with my ex. Nothing. I was FULL time daddy. So, to say that my attempts at dating had been going rather poor would be putting it nicely. Over the following weeks Crystal & I exchanged emails & waves as we were out with our kids. Then, Crystal called me one day. She said that we should take the kids all to a movie. I thought 'Great. Friendzone.' I never thought I stood a chance. Here was this beautiful amazingly talented woman. True she was a single parent too, but she had every other weekend off & an actual social life. I had become someone who knew more about The Wiggles then the local band scene. But time with her was time with her. We took the kids to see Astroboy. I remember we had all three kids between us. I kept looking over at her so much I don't remember much about the movie. After the movie she dropped us off & I got my kids to bed. I sat down at the computer to check my on-line dating page. (Not going too well) When I get a message from Crystal. She said that they had had fun & hoped we had too. I said we did. Then she says 'I only wish I had given you a kiss goodnight.' I remember pausing. I was shocked. Really?! 'Yeah' she said. I looked at my mom & said I would be right back. I grabbed my coat & ran out the door. I didn't even take my car. I just sprinted down to her apartment building & up the stairs. I knocked on her door & she was amazed. And, well, we kissed. That was October 23rd. I remember because that is Astroboy's release date. By Christmas we were engaged. By April we bought a house. And by August we were married. It's been a few years now, but I still get chills when I think of it. What if I hadn't done it? What if I had down-played the comment to whim? That split second decision was the best of my life. It changed my life. It made us a family.

This course was great. I am a high school coach and I learned a lot of useful tips that I will use in the future. It would be an excellent course for anyone in the business field as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor was very insightful and always responded to everyone's posts in the discussion area. This was my first online class and I will definitely sign up for more.
I enjoyed this course. It provided relevant information personally and for my work in a position of leadership. I have used much of the information already. Thank You.
I really enjoyed the course and wish that I would have had time to spend in the discussion area. It was obvious that the instructor's knowledge of leadership could help anyone to hone their leadership skills.
This was my first time taking an online class. The online format and class instruction were excellent. I will definitely recommend it to others. The instructor did a very good job. I am looking forward to taking another online class.
I've enjoyed my first on line class. I fell behind after having the flu but loved the way I would move at my own pace. The instructor was interesting and knowledgeable. Her replies where insightful and helpful along with being to the point.
Extremely happy with the course. Perfect for what I was looking for. I really enjoyed it!!!!
Thank you for a thought-provoking course and many valuable resources to help me continue my pursuit of leadership skills and insights.
Your class offered real tools to improve my leadership abilities and I started to use them right after the very first lesson. It made me think about leadership in a whole new light. Generally I find myself in leadership roles when no one else will step up and take the role. I do not seek these roles, but armed with some of your tools, that will most likely change. The class was well worth my time and I am using what I learned every day in the real world, both in professional and personal situations, even parenting. I greatly appreciated the class and I would recommend it to anyone.
"This has been a great course! Thank you so much for your insight and inspiration! I have learned many new strategies and have also recognized my own strengths and talents. I thank you very much for sharing your gift of leadership with us!"
Thank you and thank you for leading this terrific class! I have taken several classes over the years and your feedback really shows that you read each of the posts. The whole course was one of the best classes I have taken and I have learned a lot that I know I will use going forward. Thanks again!
