In 2008, Larry Fitzgerald had a fantastic regular season capped off by a historically great postseason; in the Super Bowl, he set the record for receiving yards in a season, including playoff games, with 1,977 yards. Of course, 2008 was decades ago in today's era of what have you done for me lately. The table below shows Fitzgerald's stats over the past four seasons. The final two columns show the total number of receiving yards generated by all Cardinals players and Fitzgerald's share of that number.
Year | Rec | Yds | YPR | TD | ARI Rec Yds | Perc |
2009 | 97 | 1092 | 11.3 | 13 | 4200 | 26% |
2010 | 90 | 1137 | 12.6 | 6 | 3264 | 34.8% |
2011 | 80 | 1411 | 17.6 | 8 | 3954 | 35.7% |
2012 | 71 | 798 | 11.2 | 4 | 3383 | 23.6% |
2009 was the last season of the Kurt Warner/Anquan Boldin Cardinals. The 97 receptions and 13 touchdowns look great, although hitting those marks and not gaining 1,100 receiving yards is very unusual. Fitzgerald was only responsible for 26% of the Cardinals receiving yards that season, although one could give him a pass since he was competing with another star receiver for targets.
In 2010, Derek Anderson, John Skelton, Max Hall, and Richard Bartel were the Cardinals quarterbacks: as a group, they averaged 5.8 yards per attempt on 561 passes. Arizona's passing attack was bad, but without Boldin, Fitzgerald gained 34.8% of the team's receiving yards. Steve Breaston chipped in with 718 receiving yards yards while a 22-year-old Andre Roberts was third with 307 yards. In other words, Fitzgerald performed pretty much how you would expect a superstar receiver to perform on a team with a bad quarterback and a mediocre supporting cast: his raw numbers were still very good (but not great) because he ate such a huge chunk of the pie. After the 2010 season, I even wondered if he could break any of Jerry Rice's records (spoiler: he can't).In 2011, Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Bartel combined for 3,954 yards on 550 passes, a 7.2 yards per attempt average (Kolb was at 7.7 Y/A). That qualifies as a pretty respectable passing game and Fitzgerald appeared to have a monster year, gaining 35.7% of the Cardinals' receiving yards (Early Doucet was second with 689 yards and Roberts was third with 586 yards). It's always hard splicing out cause and effect, but my takeaway is that with a more competent passing game, Fitzgerald continued to get the lion's share of the team's production but unlike in 2010, this led to great and not just good numbers.
But last year, not only did the Cardinals passing game decline, but Fitzgerald's share of the pie dropped sharply, too. On 608 passes, Skelton, Kolb, Ryan Lindley, and Brian Hoyer averaged 5.6 yards per attempt. For the first time in the post-Boldin era, another receiver put a dent in Fitzgerald's production, as Andre Roberts picked up 759 receiving yards despite missing a game (he actually averaged slightly more receiving yards per game than Fitzgerald). When Boldin ate into Fitzgerald's production, the pie was a lot bigger — in part because of Boldin — but that wasn't the case with Roberts.
Fitzgerald's four-year run is pretty fascinating – it's almost like a real life science experiment on how wide receiver production varies due to supporting cast. In 2009, he played with another great receiver so his percentage of the pie wasn't high, but he also played with a great quarterback, so he produced strong numbers. In 2010, the quarterback and the receiver were gone, which seemed to cancel each other out (more receiving yards, fewer touchdowns, although both of those numbers were due to move in that direction anyway). In 2011, the quarterback play improved, so he ended up eating the same percentage of a larger pie. Then last year, the play fell through the floor… but unlike in 2010, he wound up losing a big percentage of his value.
So what's the explanation? I don't think it's as simple as "his quarterbacks stunk." Or even if that is the answer, that doesn't make for a very good post. Let's investigate his last four seasons under a different microscope. This next table shows the number of Cardinals pass attempts, Fitzgerald's number of targets, catches, and catch rate, and his yards per reception, his Air Yards per reception, and his average gain after the catch, all courtesy of NFLGSIS.
Year | Team Att | Targets | Catches | Target % | Catch % | Yards | YPR | Air Yards | YAC |
2009 | 594 | 153 | 97 | 25.8 | 63.4 | 1092 | 11.26 | 8.04 | 3.22 |
2010 | 561 | 173 | 90 | 30.8 | 52.0 | 1137 | 12.63 | 10.26 | 2.38 |
2011 | 550 | 154 | 80 | 28.0 | 51.9 | 1411 | 17.64 | 11.54 | 6.10 |
2012 | 608 | 156 | 71 | 25.7 | 45.5 | 798 | 11.24 | 7.41 | 3.83 |
There are a couple of things that really stand out when you look at the table: Fitzgerald's target percentage has continued to drop, while his catch rate fell through the floor last year. But first, let's look at the 2011 row.
Two years ago, Fitzgerald averaged a ridiculous 17.6 yards per catch. That was highly unsustainable and out of character for him. And while he was catching passes deeper downfield (in Mike Clay parlance, his aDOT rose a bit), the real reason for his increase in yards per catch was due to the yards he gained after catching the ball. Fitzgerald had 14 catches of 30+ yards in 2011 compared to seven such passes in 2009, 2010, and 2012 combined. Now if I was a superstar writer, I'd fire up NFL Game Rewind and watch those 14 plays; maybe someone in the comments will do that, but I'm content to say those were outliers unlikely to repeat themselves. I'll just note that had his 80 catches come on a more Fitzgerald-like 12.5 yards per reception, that would have given him an even 1,000 yards.
One narrative for Fitzgerald's career is that he was a superstar receiver through 2008, had a monster season in receptions/touchdowns in 2009, a down year in 2010 because of bad quarterback play, a bounceback, 1400-yard season in 2011, and then a miserable year last season because of terrible quarterback play.
Here's another narrative. Fitzgerald caught 100 passes in 2006, 96 and 97 in 2008/2009, and then has dropped to 90, 80, and finally 71 over the last three years. He was fortunate to string together a bunch of big plays in 2011, a trait he hasn't otherwise possessed, otherwise his yardage totals would have seen a similar decline.
Fitzgerald had a sparkling 63% catch rate with Warner and Boldin in 2009, but dropped to 52% with bad quarterback play in 2010. Then, despite much better quarterback play, his catch rate didn't improve in 2011, and then his catch rate fell even farther last year. His percentage of team targets has declined in each of the last two years, too. And Andre Roberts played the role of Ronald Curry in 2012, gaining more yards per game than Fitzgerald. And it's not like the weak offensive line is to blame for that one: Roberts' average reception came one yard farther down the field (8.41) than Fitzgerald's: it's not as if Roberts was running shorter routes. In fact, the fact that Fitzgerald's aDOT was so low is a sign that the Cardinals were doing everything they could to get him the ball, and it just wasn't working.
It's easy and noncontroversial to give Fitzgerald a pass for last season. And in my gut, I certainly expect to see Fitzgerald bounce back this year; Carson Palmer should provide a nice upgrade, and the offensive line should be better with the return of Levi Brown and the drafting of Jonathan Cooper. New head coach Bruce Arians has talked about moving Fitzgerald around the field to get him into more favorable positions, another good sign that 2013 should be a bounce-back year.
But there's another Arians receiver to think about. As bad as the Cardinals passing game, think back to the 2011 Colts. In lieu of Peyton Manning, Indianapolis had a quarterback chimera composed of Kerry Collins, Dan Orlovsky, and Curtis Painter. The 2011 Colts actually averaged more yards per attempt, but since the 2012 Cardinals passed 74 more times, Arizona gained more passing yards. And instead of competing with Andre Roberts and Michael Floyd, Reggie Wayne had to compete with Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie, Dallas Clark, and Jacob Tamme. Despite all that, Wayne still gained 960 receiving yards, giving him 29.8% of the team's receiving yards despite the more talented supporting cast.
The best-case scenario for Cardinals fans is that this turns into another Steve Smith situation. In 2010, Smith looked washed up playing for a Carolina team that was as horrible at passing as the 2012 Cardinals. Then, in 2011, he had a monster season after the team drafted Cam Newton. But that's the optimistic view. I can't figure out where I stand on Fitzgerald's future prospects, but I don't think it's as simple as "he had a bad quarterback, he'll be fine with Carson Palmer." With Roberts and Michael Floyd around, I would be hesitant to project more than 28% of the Cardinals receiving yards this season. Based on fantasy drafts so far, most people think he'll be back to 30-35% of the Cardinals receiving pie or that Bruce Arians is about to perform another miracle.

wow, the amount of info to search through is unbelievable.
thank you jon for the links they are also good ones. i posted her name at a few sites i'll post it here to rita cole 1808 ridgelake dr. metairie LA. |
Hey buddy .I really hope you get some good news soon.
well another day and still nothing...... i gave the phone number that one of the message boards had to my aunt they say they will check an address for survivors with enough info.
i hope i hear somthing tomorrow........... |
Sorry for my sloth in updating you. I heard from Chris the other night and all is still well. Unfortunately the postal service is down and will be for quite some time. So, the only way to get supplies to him is through another relation slightly north of him. If you'd like to get anything to him you may email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will give you the information. The stories of community in Chris's area are unbelievable, people coming together to help each other. If you can't help Chris directly you may want to check your local bank, many of them have accounts set up for Katrina survivors. Thank you for all your patience and support.
I know this may seem a little odd, but I thought I'd update you on Chris. He and his family are doing very well. Things are really looking up for them. They got power back today, and Chris's place of work has been open for a few days now. I'm sure that he and all the people in the region send their thanks for your thoughts, support, and prayers.
What up Fellas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all for your prays and thoughts through all of this. We faired fairly well here where I live. I live in Abita Springs, which is on the North Shore of Lake Ponchatrain about 50 miles north of N.O. We had a lot of extremely strong winds and tons of rain. There was no flooding in my area, but we did have a lot of trees come down. One landed on the house, only put a small hole in the roof, nothing serious. There are quite a few houses in my neighborhood that sustained major damage, roofs blown, trees through/in them.... After Katrina passed, the clean up began. No more than an hour after the storm we were out in the streets with a crew cutting trees and clearing the roads. It was amazing how the neighborhood pulled together. I have lived here for 2 years, and have gotten to know my neighbors more in the past 4 months than ever before. We lost power, of course, for 22 days. During that time we were running on generator power. I now swear by the Coleman Powermate 6250Watt generator LOL. That thing ran 2 fridges, a deep freezer, a window a/c until, a small tv, numerous lights, the big tv, the surround sound, the washer and dryer(gas), ceiling fans at night, and who knows what else. And it never showed any sign of slowing down! The restraunt I work at finally opened up the second thursday (9/15/05) after the storm. So far I have work 18 days in a row with no day off yet (I'm off on Friday!!!) We went in to clean it out on Saturday (9/10/05). EVERYTHING in the restraunt had to be tossed!! The stench was unbelievable, and the colors the food changed to was unreal. But, we finally opened and have been busier than ever. Now, we just try to continue on with our lives. So far we are doing pretty good. Chris PS: I uploaded pics to my gallery Last edited by Malibucdl; 09-28-2005 at 01:03 AM. |
Welcome Back Chris! Im glad to hear everything is alright!
Brad |
Oh thank god, I've been waiting to hear from you; Chris did your sister make it through the hurricane ok!? lol I had to say it.
Glad everything kinda worked out for you and your family, I'm going to go check the pics you uploaded. |
I'm guess this in the one that did some damage? btw, I checking out the pre storm shots, nice house man. |
Glad to hear you all faired well.I remember when a tornado ripped through about 8 years ago.Missed my moms home by feet.It damaged the neighbors home,and uprooted a few trees in my moms yard.They of course do not take out as much as a hurricane,but they change lives in a second.
I wish you all luck and a speedy return to some sort of normallacy. |
helrazr3: Any news on your cousin yet?
Chris |
I was in Jefferson tuesday and Harahan on wednesday and thursday. The media did not do justice to the destruction I saw. My boss has been to Slidell and brought back pics of a field of "poles" where 100 ft pine trees once stood.
I hope your family is OK. |

So I started off with a 6 X6" piece of glossy paper and a dollop of Elmer's Glue.
Then I used a paint brush to schmere the glue all over the paper. You want to have a good layer of glue on the paper so it will stay wet for a bit.
Next with a larger brush start adding Perfect Pearls to the glue with a pouncing motion.
If you need to keep the glue damp you can use a spray bottle of water to mist the top layer.
Once you have the effect that you want you will use your embossing tool to heat the glue and cause it to bubble up. DON"T hold the gun in one place too long or too close because it will burn. Experiment with this for a bit. You will see the glue bubble up and it looks so cool.
Here is another view of the bubbles.
So here is what the finished piece looks like. Ready for a background.
I decided to also do the moon of the image and this is on some texture paper and it worked just fine.
And here is a close up of the image and the flowers that are made using My Minds Eye papers. I hope you all take the time to try this out and let me know when you do. I would love to have a link to your project.
Have a great day everyone.

Mixmaster Morris (born Morris Gould, 30 December 1965) is an English ambient DJ and underground musician.[1] Relating specifically to ambient music, Morris stated "It's exactly what you need if you have a busy and stressful life".[2]
Life and career[edit]
Morris Gould was born in Brighton, Sussex, England, but grew up in Lincolnshire and was educated at Millfield in Somerset, and King's College London. At 15 he founded a punk rock band, The Ripchords, whose sole release, an eponymous EP with four tracks, was championed by the BBC Radio One DJ John Peel. After leaving university, he began working as a DJ in 1985 with his "Mongolian Hip Hop Show" on pirate radio station Network 21 in London – the handle Mixmaster Morris was suggested by the station director. After a year of managing a club called "The Gift" in [[New Cross]The Club founded by Keith Gallagher who named the club from the Velvet Underground song. Morris began releasing material as The Irresistible Force in 1987, initially in collaboration with singer-songwriter Des de Moor.[2] He became involved with the emerging UK acidand named by house scene, after organising Madhouse at The Fridge, Brixton in 1988 – which was the subject of a piece by Peel in The Observer.
A show with the band Psychic TV led to him becoming full-time DJ with The Shamen, and touring with them on their 'Synergy' tours for nearly two years.
The first release as The Irresistible Force was the single, "I Want To" (1988), but success came with the first album, Flying High, released in 1992 on Rising High Records. In 1994, Morris released the second album Global Chillage which featured a holographic sleeve, and was released in the US on Astralwerks. After a period of legal problems the third album It's Tomorrow Already came out on Ninja Tune.
In 1990, he made one of the first chillout compilations, Give Peace a Dance 2: The Ambient Collection for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament,[3] followed by the series Chillout or Die for Rising High Records. A mix tape for Mixmag shared with Alex Patterson was also released as a CD. The Morning After became his first major-label mix album, followed by Abstract Funk Theory for Obsessive.
Through the 1990s he was a regular DJ in the chill out room at Return to the Source parties in London, around the UK and abroad. In 2003 he released the mix CD God Bless the Chilled for the Return to the Source Ambient Meditations series.
He has produced many remixes since 1985, including Coldcut's "Autumn Leaves". This remix was nominated by Norman Cook as his favourite chillout track on BBC Television.[4] His mix for INXS was a Top 20 hit in the UK. Other early remixes were of Lloyd Cole, Dave Howard Singers, Bang Bang Machine, Stump, Higher Intelligence Agency, Sven Vath and Rising High Collective.
In the early 1990s his key residencies were alongside the Detroit masters at Lost, Megatripolis at London's Heaven, and also the Tribal Gathering parties. He became known for wearing holographic suits, produced by the company Spacetime, which he modelled for Vogue magazine. Throughout the decade, Morris wrote about electronic music for the NME, Mixmag, and i-D. He was resident on Kiss FM for several years, and then a regular on Solid Steel, the Ninja Tune syndicated radio show. He made his film debut in Modulations (Caipirinha Films), and his music was used in a number of other films including Groove and Hey Happy.
Morris has played in over fifty countries at nightclubs and parties, and particularly music festivals such as the Full Moon parties in the Mojave Desert, Glastonbury Festival, Rainbow 2000 and Mother SOS in Japan, Chillits in Northern California, and Berlin's Love Parade. He also ran the downtempo night Nubient in Brixton. In 1995, he played at the first The Big Chill festival, and then became a resident for the next 16 years.
He also collaborated with the German musician Pete Namlook under the name Dreamfish, recording two albums. Also with SF-based musician Jonah Sharp and Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra he made the album Quiet Logic for the Japanese label Daisyworld.
In 1998 he joined the UK's Ninja Tune record label, with whom he toured as a DJ and made three releases. 1999 saw him win 'Best Chillout DJ' at the Ibiza DJ Awards at Pacha, Ibiza, and in 2001 he won the title for a second time, becoming the first DJ to achieve this. He has appeared in many lists of the worlds top DJ's including the Ministry of Sound book The Annual and 2003's DJs by Lopez, and URB Magazine's Top 100 DJ list. Morris records regular radio shows for the Japanese internet radio station Samurai FM. In 2006 he started a new club at the Big Chill House in Kings Cross, London, and did a guest mix for BBC Radio 1's The Blue Room show. His essay about jazz was published in the book, Crossfade, and he made a one-off appearance reading it aloud.
In March 2007, together with Coldcut, he organised a tribute show to the writer and philosopher Robert Anton Wilson, which they performed at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. He also played in Goa for the first time with The Big Chill, and started a new residency at The Prince in Brixton. In May 2008 Morris undertook an ambient mix on BBC Radio 1, and put a The Irresistible Force band together to play at The Big Chill festival. In 2009, he compiled a podcast for Tate Britain to accompany their Altermodern exhibition, and opened a new AV night called MMMTV in Camden. The mix CD, Calm Down My Selector was released in January by Wakyo Records, and he made a tour of Japan to promote it.
In 2010, he won another Ibiza DJ Award, for the third time. In October that year, he was announced as Head of A+R for Apollo Records. 2011 saw him rejoin Bestival as part of their "Ambient Forest" team.

Arsenal full-back Bacary Sagna would understand if Cesc Fabregas left the Gunners in search of silverware this summer.
Sagna said the club had "failed" this season after coming up short in the Carling Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions League, and they are almost certain to lose out in the Barclays Premier League title race to Manchester United, who they face at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal trail United by nine points and look set to extend their trophy drought to six years.
Star man and captain Fabregas was courted by his home town club Barcelona last summer and Sagna told the News of the World: "I would understand if Cesc leaves. He has been here at Arsenal for a long time and he wants to win trophies. As professionals we want to be successful and win cups and titles but we haven't won a thing for six years."
The closest Arsenal have come this season was in the Carling Cup, where they suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to Birmingham in the final at Wembley after a late defensive mix-up gifted the Blues a winner.
Sagna admitted the campaign had been a bad one for the Gunners and added: "It's embarrassing to be part of a team that hasn't won a trophy for six years. We failed.
"It's not the manager's fault, it's the players'. Some people say Arsene Wenger's not doing well, but he doesn't play.
"Everyone was sad at Bolton (where Arsenal lost last Sunday). We have to be stronger in battle, that's what we said after the game last Sunday.
"We know we are not a bad team. We have the quality to finish first, but we lost. This is the fault of the players - we have failed."

In the year 2010 mankind has built its first space colony, Beyond Coast. Three years later the founders of the colony felt it needed to be protected, and chose five best policemen from Earth to do that: Gates Becker from Scotland Yard, the Japanese Sadaoki Tokugawa, Salvatore Toscanini from New York, and two policemen from Los Angeles: Jonathan Ingram and his best friend Ed Brown. During a routine patrol on Beyond Coast, something happened to Jonathan's space suit. He was sucked into space and presumed dead. Twenty-five years later, he is miraculously discovered in his life pod, alive. He still looks like a young man, but in reality he is fifty-five years old.Trying to forget his past, Jonathan opens an investigation agency on Earth. One day, his ex-wife unexpectedly pays him a visit. She has re-married during Jonathan's prolonged absence, and asks him to find her missing husband. When she leaves the office, her car explodes, and she dies. Determined to fulfill her final request, Jonathan prepares to re-visit Beyond Coast.
Policenauts is a Japanese-style adventure with action elements, similar in many ways to Snatcher. The player interacts with the environment in a point-and-click fashion: positioning a cursor over an object allows the player character to examine it or perform other context-dependent actions. There are a few puzzles in the game, but most of the time the story is advanced by visiting various locations, examining objects, and talking to characters. Conversations usually include a selection of topics.
Action sequences are similar to those of Snatcher, but are more numerous and varied. The player must rapidly shoot enemies moving within a one-screen area viewed from a first-person perspective, reloading the gun manually and trying to eliminate the enemy before Jonathan's health bar is depleted.

Weird: Garret Graves Attacks Edwards' Children?
Let's be clear, Jindal henchman Garret Graves is performing an impressive act of kabuki. He's a career bureaucrat who's worked for whatever oil-soaked politician came his way (mostly Democrats in the beginning of his career). There's no doubt that he's brainy, but he apparently isn't too keen on politics.
Here's the beginning of a strange exchange, prompted by an innocent assertion from a Times-Pic reporter:
One thing is for sure. Our #LA06 candidates have really cute kids. http://t.co/3pyNUn2GZa@garretgraves@EdwinWEdwards
— Julia O'Donoghue (@JSODonoghue) July 26, 2014
You can see that campaign video in there. Just FYI, this is what Youtube thinks are the related videos:
Yes, that is the "ultimate fails compilation." No, we did not set that up.
Anyway, this precipitated a really fucking weird fight with old EWE, who is basically the rookie of the year on twitter:
@garretgraves@JSODonoghue I'm confused? Are you saying my wife isn't cute or my kid isn't cute? #tildecember? #yourhashtagsneedwork
— Edwin Edwards (@EdwinWEdwards) July 26, 2014
Which expanded into a really bitter response from Graves, who is basically calling Edwin's (beautiful) wife and (cute) kid ugly. Which is a weird thing to do. Not exactly ingratiating himself to the voters.
@garretgraves @JSODonoghue #yourtweetsarentmakingsense #gohomegarretyouredrunk Ps…I still think your kids are beautiful
— Edwin Edwards (@EdwinWEdwards) July 26, 2014
And then:
@EdwinWEdwards @JSODonoghue @connellykm you think we'll win in the 1st too? #retire
— Garret Graves (@garretgraves) July 26, 2014
Which is all a little weird, considering Graves is attacking Edwards family for no good reason. Other than the fact he is afraid of Edwin? I mean, really?
Strange days.
Why the Louisiana Science Education Act Disqualifies Bobby Jindal From National Office
For the 100th time. @BobbyJindal is some sort of religious zealot unfit to govern a polytheistic country.
In his very first term in office as Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal signed the nation's most absurd and most regressive "science education law" in modern America, the misnamed and misguided Louisiana Science Education Act. Ostensibly, the law is merely about introducing supplementary materials in public school classrooms in order to undermine the validity of both the fact and the scientific theory of evolution, offering impressionable school children with an alternate explanation of the nature and origins of our vastly complex universe by attempting to teach kids that the observable, repeatable, and peer-reviewed knowledge and data that the world's brightest minds have perfected for hundreds and hundreds of years are merely metaphors to be forcibly, painfully implanted into a choice series of 2,000 year old oral history books.
That's why you'll hear Creationists claim that Dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark. Apparently, he even drew up a little model to support his thesis…

Merry Christmas? Happy Holidays? Who cares?
Bob Mann updates us on the "War on Christmas"
By Robert Mann
I come from a long line of Christian evangelicals. I grew up among people devoted to saving souls, compelled by their faith to spread the "Good News." My father was a preacher who believed in the power of Christ to redeem the world. Sometimes, members of his various churches would comb neighborhoods, knock on doors, ask complete strangers about their faith and invite them to church.
Yet, like the Puritans of old, we forsook the religious side of Christmas. Following the New Testament command of St. Paul, "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon," there were no Christmas hymns sung in the congregations of my youth. If you had attended my dad's unadorned church the Sunday before Christmas, you would have seen no signs of the holiday season. There was no Christmas Eve service.

Who Is The "TEA" Party Of Louisiana
Blogger and rabble rouser extraordinaire CB Forgotston has landed in an interesting place. Bobby Jindal's candidate for Louisiana's 5th Congressional District, Neil Riser, advertised that he was the choice of the "TEA Party of Louisiana." After the thrashing Riser took over the weekend, there are probably many recriminations in the Jindal camp over this latest disaster. Forgotston has dredged up one trivial, but perhaps intriguing, nugget regarding Riser's astroturf campaign:
If you followed the recent special election for the LA 5th Congressional District you probably read and heard in the state and national paid media that Neil Riser had the endorsement of "The TEA Party of Louisiana."
If you are as naive as I am, you probably took that to mean that an "umbrella" group of the various TEA Party chapters in LA had come together behind Riser.
Then I began hearing members of local TEA Parties say that Riser had refused to come to various meetings of the groups in the 5th District. Riser's opponent, now Congressman-Elect Vance McAllister did attend the meeting and had their support.
One day a fellow contacted me claiming to be a member of the TEA Party who was upset that he was getting calls from "The TEA Party of Louisiana" supporting Riser. He said if they didn't stop calling he was going to quit the TEA Party because he supported McAllister.
So what is going on here? To the untrained eye, the "TEA Party" support would be critical in this ultra-conservative district. Yet, the winner of the contest, newly-minted Congressman Vance Mcallister, supported the Medicaid Expansion under Obamacare. Riser's consultants tried to smash him with that. Instead, Riser was smashed. What's going on here? Forgotston has more:
There's more
I did a Google search for "The TEA Party of Louisiana." I turned up a "TEA Party of Louisiana." It even has a website (here) where they endorsed Neil Riser for the 5thCongressional District.
The website accepts donations via the Internet, but provides no physical location, mailing address or names of the officers.
Next, I checked with the LA Secretary of State's Website to get more information on the group. There was no "TEA Party of Louisiana" registered.
The closest name I could find was "LOUISIANA TEA PARTY, L.L.C" in Baton Rouge. The mailing address is: C/O CECIL CAVANAUGH, 10165 GRANDEUR, BATON ROUGE, LA 70815
However, this group is listed as "Inactive" by "Action by Secretary of State."
Who endorsed Riser?
This leaves me with the questions of, other than a website, what or who is the "TEA Party of Louisiana" that endorsed Neil Riser? Who paid for the calls or other activities on Riser's behalf in the 5th District?
Why Elbert Guillory's "Free At Last" PAC Raises Serious Questions About the Louisiana GOP
@CenLamar unlocks the absurd kabuki promulgated by cynical conservatives obsessed with race.
A couple of months ago, when Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory switched back to the Republican Party, he generated statewide and national attention: Guillory is the first Republican African-American member of the Louisiana State Senate since Reconstruction.
This may seem like an important breakthrough for Louisiana Republicans, until you consider that Guillory had been been a Republican up until 2007, when he became a Democrat in order to run for State Representative in a heavily Democratic district. In fact, Elbert Guillory had actually been a member of the Republican Central Committee. The conservative media has gleefully embraced the narrative of Guillory as Democratic defector, but the truth is, Elbert Guillory only became a Democrat to deceive his constituents; he couldn't get elected as a Republican. To be sure, he once claimed his conversion to the Democratic Party had something to do with his disenchantment with George W. Bush, which, at…

I'm sure you all heard by now the buzz of yet another game "given" to the Dookies by the Zebras. Call after call during the crucial part of the game went in the Dookies favor, while the Pope of College Hoops was about to crack his players melons open with a chair. Classy guy! But it's okay, because he prays before every game ;-)
If you think I'm imaging things because I don't like the Pukies, think again! March-to-Madness has assembled evidence that shows a Dookie travel three times in a single possession and get no call!

- "I'll add your head to those of the other Jedi I have killed, and take yet another lightsaber for my own."
- ―Sherruk to Revan
Sherruk was a Human male Mandalorian Rally Master who fought in the Mandalorian Wars.
Following the end of the war, he led a group of Mandalorian and Duros bandits (including Reeza and Jarg) to Dantooine, where they terrorized and extorted the local settlers. However, his group of bandits was too small to pose a threat to the Jedi Enclave or any other well-organized defense. Future Mandalore Canderous Ordo was disgusted by him, his followers, and other Mandalorians like him, saying that they were taking scraps when they should be taking worlds.
It was rumored he received support from the Sith; this would make sense as he killed Jedi and made the locals distrustful of their supposed protectors. As a Jedi hunter, Sherruk enjoyed eliminating Jedi and taking their lightsabers as trophies. He is known to have killed two Jedi; one with a red lightsaber and one with a blue lightsaber.
In 3956 BBY, Sherruk and his companions were killed by a reformed Revan, though the former Sith Lord did not find it easy, as Sherruk proved a very skilled fighter.
Behind the scenesEdit
His name is spelled both Sherruk and Sheruk in the game. Sherruk is found in the southern end of the Grove.

Obesity is a global epidemic that greatly increases chronic disease burden. Overeating of highly palatable (HP) foods, especially in the ubiquitous food cue environment and in the context of stressful life events, are known to promote HP food craving, intake and weight gain, but the differential biobehavioral mechanisms underlying these effects is unclear. Using a novel experimental paradigm, promising preliminary results indicated that brief exposure to food cue and to emotional stress increases motivation for and intake of HP snack foods in the laboratory, more so in overweight (OW/OB) than in lean (LN) individuals. Furthermore, OW/OB individuals show altered biological stress and metabolic states with different biobehavioral responses during food cue and stress exposures which predict HP food craving and intake. On the basis of these results, we propose a 5-year experimental study with a prospective 2-year longitudinal follow-up in healthy men and women categorized on the basis of lean (body mass index: BMI<25), overweight (BMI=25-29.9) and obese Class I (BMI=30-35) groups to test the hypothesis that food cue and stress will increase HP food craving and intake, and higher BMI-related metabolic and stress system adaptations will predict HP food motivation and intake, which in turn, will promote future weight gain and obesity.
The specific aims are: (1) to examine if exposure to food cue and to stress vs. neutral relaxing cues differentially increase HP food craving, eating topography, emotion, hunger and alters physiological and biochemical responses, and if changes vary across BMI groups;(2) to assess differential increases in HP food intake in each condition and whether it varies as a function of BMI group;(3) to identify whether HP food craving, emotion, hunger, physiological and metabolic responses is predictive of eating topography measures, calories and weight of HP food intake in each condition;(4) to assess whether stress- and food cue-induced HP food craving, intake and laboratory responses are predictive of food motivation, dietary intake and weight gain over the 2-year follow-up period;and (5) to explore the influence of key individual differences variables of cumulative stress, eating patterns, and physical activity on stress and cue-related responses and food intake in the laboratory and on motivation for HP food intake in the two-year follow-up period. Successful completion of the project will lead to an innovative and valid method to model of HP food craving and intake in the laboratory, which may be utilized for testing novel intervention strategies to decrease high levels of food motivation, overeating and obesity risk.
Overeating of highly palatable foods is a major contributing factor to the worldwide obesity epidemic. An innovative experimental paradigm is utilized to study the differential biobehavioral mechanisms by which stress and food cue exposure contribute to highly palatable (HP) food craving and intake. Positive results will provide a unique validated method that may be applied to development and testing of novel treatment strategies to decrease motivation for HP foods, weight gain and obesity risk.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,715: AT-AT Commander
The Vintage Collection Basic Figures
Item No.: Asst. 97568 No. 97573
Manufacturer: Hasbro
Number: #VC05
Includes: Blaster, helmet, chest armor, goggles
Action Feature: n/a
Retail: $7.99-$9.99
Availability: June 2010
Appearances: The Empire Strikes Back
Bio: The vintage line does not have character-specific bios. It just reminds you that these are very old figures. In the case of this figure, you get a summary that tells you nothing of the character along with a photo and a caption saying the original figure card front was used from 1980-1982. Whoopee.
Image: Adam's old kitchen.
Commentary: A mix of new and old parts, this AT-AT Commander is a very good and very unnecessary figure. So why make it? Hasbro had a giant AT-AT hit stores around the same time as this figure, and the last General Veers was sold in 2006-- so for the newcomers, they're going to want a commander for the ship. As an added bonus, it checks off an update for a classic Kenner figure of the same name, so woo-hoo. The bad news is that it was a bit of a slow seller and was still available late last year. Heck, it might still be available now.
He used a mix of super-articulated parts from Janek "Tank" Sunber and Captian Needa, resulting in a figure that's technically superior to Veers from 2006. (Veers was also friggin' tall.) If you must have a commander with plenty of joints, this is the one to get. The detail is good, and the head sculpt doesn't look like anyone in particular. Were it not for the armor under his belt, you could even use this guy as a spare generic Imperial Officer of some sort!
The figure has no problem standing around in the commander's area in the big AT-AT and it looks pretty good too. Getting the goggles and helmet just right can be a bit of a chore, and I'm a little concerned the goggles will stretch or break over time if you aren't careful. The helmet is also a little bulky, but I'm not sure if they could make a decent one in a much smaller size-- although Veers did look pretty good, didn't he? Hmmm. Well, I guess with that in mind, if you have Veers be happy. If you need more, get an AT-AT Commander. Ultimately you don't need two of a similar character, but has that ever stopped you before? Oh, and his holster is pretty good-- it feels better than Veers' to me in terms of functionality.
Collector's Notes: This figure came out as part of the long-suffering first wave of 2010 Vintage figures, and hung around for a while. The wave was notable in that it proved how the market works when collector apathy sets in-- Darth Vader and Boba Fett repacks will sell quickly, followed by core characters like Han, Leia, and Luke... with troopers or lesser bounty hunters slowly selling out later. A bad wave 1 can disrupt distribution for an entire assortment for months or even years to come, and well, this one did. So if you see one out there, curse him for me.

This was a slow seller? Not in my neck of the woods (SE Massachusetts). I NEVER saw him on the pegs, and ended up having to buy him online after I got my AT-AT (can't have all those underlings running about with no one to boss 'em around!).

For reals? I can still find this figure (and a few other wave 1 2010 TVC figures) around here.

Wow, that is an anomaly. I could drive to the Wally World closest to my house right now and buy three of them (Along with 4-LOM, Dengar and Cloud Car Pilot). '3PO was the only figure from that wave that was tricky for me to find, not unlike his VOTC counterpart back in '04.

- lowtek_ketwol said...
I think it depends on just how saturated certain areas were with vintage figures. I can't imagine all stores ordered the exact same number of wave 1 cases. Wave 1 wasnt a huge issue in my area (northern PA) and this figure in particular sold pretty well. 4-Lom and, to a lesser extent Dengar were the problematic figures.

Among these features are simultaneous burning on multiple recorders, multisession DVD-R burning, and conversion of an iTunes playlist's AAC files to AIFF files for an audio CD. Regrettably, too many of its features work poorly (or not at all).
Before citing Dragon Burn's failings, let's talk about what it does well. Unlike OS X or Toast, Dragon Burn lets you load a disc image file into the program and burn it to multiple CD and DVD burners at the same time. This can be a time-saver if you have a couple of CD burners and need to make several copies of a disc. Dragon Burn also makes the creation of multisession CD-R discs -- discs you've recorded data to multiple times -- very easy. It gives you two recording options when you're ready to record a disc -- Disc and Session. Theoretically, all you need to do to create a multisession disc is click on the Session button.
I say "theoretically" because multisession burning is not an option for DVD-R discs and doesn't work properly with DVD-RW media. The program writes the first session to a DVD-RW disc, but when you later insert that disc into your Mac's DVD drive, the drive doesn't recognize it. Worse, I couldn't eject these discs without rebooting my Mac while holding down the mouse button.
Although Dragon Burn 3 lets you import iTunes playlists that include AAC-encoded files and then burn those files as an audio disc, the resulting files sound noisy and distorted. When you rip an audio disc and convert the resulting files to another format, title information changes to a meaningless mix of letters and numbers -- Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain," for example, changed to dbxt16531729.mp3.
Macworld's Buying Advice
A disc-burning program -- even one priced at around $40 -- that fails to deliver on its promises is no bargain. If the disc-burning features built into OS X aren't extensive enough for you, spend the money to get a disc-burning application that works -- Roxio's Toast 6 Titanium.

The Econometrics and Behavioral Economics of Escalation of Commitment: A Re-examination of Staw and Hoang's NBA Data
We examine the phenomenon of escalation from an economist's perspective, emphasizing explanations which do not rule out rational behavior on the part of firms or agents. We argue that escalation cannot be established as a separate phenomenon unless these possible alternative explanations are properly accounted for. We present Staw and Hoang's (1995) study of NBA data as an instance of where evidence of escalation might be overturned upon more careful analysis. After performing several tests of our alternative explanations, we find that evidence of escalation persists, although it is weaker both in duration and magnitude.

NEW eBook PDF | 25 soul jazz guitar licks with tabs, analysis, scales charts and diagrams.
- By Stef Ramin
- On 27/05/2016
- Comments (0)
A new printable PDF eBook dedicated to soul jazz guitar licks is now available for download.
Soul jazz (sometimes called "jazz-funk) is a form of jazz commonly associated with hard bop. It has strong influences from blues, rhythm & blues and gospel. You can also go listen to Lou Donaldson, Big John Patton, Jimmy "Hammond" Smith, to soak up this style.
All these licks are two bars licks in the key of Bb7 and inspired by great guitarists as Grant Green, Melvin sparks, Wes Montgomery or Kenny Burrell. They are essentially built with notes from the minor, major pentatonic and minor blues scale.
As usual each lick is analysed and accompanied by a quality audio file. A backing track is also included in the package.
Why all these licks are in the same key ?
To simplify learning, it's easier to memorize them, then you can make the connection between each lick to built longer guitar solos. Once you have learnt these licks, the aim is to play them in different keys, add notes and fret hand techniques (bends, hammer-on, pull-off, slides) vary the rhythm...
Package details :
- 1 printable PDF eBook with 25 soul jazz guitar licks in Bb7 with tabs, scales charts, guitar fretboard diagrams (5 boxes for each scales) and analysis.
- 1 soul jazz backing track (Quality mp3 audio file).
- 25 soul jazz guitar licks audio files (Quality mp3 audio files).

Kristine -The Foley Fam {unedited}So great! We are having #2 and needing to do this as well. Did you use an IKEA mattress? Is it comfortable?
ReplyDeleteRepliesYes, we used two ikea twin mattresses, just stack them on top, and when you expand the bed, just put the mattresses side by side. All our guests said that the bed is very comfortable. I Love Ikea foam mattresses.
DeleteDo you remember which foam mattress you got? We are getting a store but it won't be open for another year. The cheapest/thinnest one is 3 3/4" thick but that seems really to thin for comfort...

Alexis Bledel Talks "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life"
by IMDb-Contributing-Writers | last updated - 4 months agoAlexis Bledel reflects on revisiting the first significant role of her acting career for the upcoming revival of "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." — Scott Huver
8 images
For Alexis Bledel, who launched her acting career with the much beloved role of Rory Gilmore when she was just 19 years old, it's hard to describe "Gilmore Girls" as a life-changing, perspective-altering event. But when reprising the role for Netflix's upcoming reunion series "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," she found there were still some significant new takeaways to be discovered.
Having embodied Rory throughout her young adulthood, Bledel reveals that, while in many ways the role still fit like a glove, returning to the character required a degree of reimagining as she now navigates her early 30s, which is about the same age Rory's mom Lorelei was when the characters were introduced. That significant shift, along with the high regard in which the original series has continued to be held, were much on her mind as she returned to Stars Hollow.
Returning to Rory felt as current as it did nostalgic.
"It was surreal but, at the same time, as if no time had passed at all," says Bledel. "What a great experience to have to have those two things happening alongside each other." Falling back into that legendary Amy Sherman-Palladino-scripted dialogue posed no challenge at all. "It's really easy. You get a script from Amy. The way it's written, it just informs you as to how it's supposed to be said. It's all there on the page."
She's been part of the conversation to bring back the show for some time.
"We [all] stayed in touch. It was so many years that we shot the show," she said. "Amy and I would talk from time to time. She'd kind of check in with me and see what I was working on and express an interest in taking these characters further, and we'd talk about different possibilities from time to time."
"I knew she was interested in a more satisfying conclusion ... but not even so much about the conclusion. These characters were still very much alive for her," the actress adds. "So, you can't ignore someone's creative impulses when it comes to something like that. I mean, we just kept talking about it."
Despite everyone's willingness, Bledel wasn't convinced they'd be able to stage a return to Stars Hollow.
"I didn't imagine that we would get this chance to revisit the series," the actress admitted. "I was eager to explore other characters, other opportunities, when our show concluded. I couldn't have dreamed that we'd all be back here at talking about the show."
"I have to say that these chapters really do feel familiar but different, more mature," she adds. "It's not like a different show, but it's really a progression of the story we told initially."
Rory's remained a driven go-getter, even as her chosen profession has endured a massive upheaval.
"She has been working hard, as she does," revealed Bledel. "She started her work as a journalist at the same time that newspapers were going away. Her field changed dramatically as she was just kind of getting up and running. So, that's where we pick up with her."
"It's real time. So, it's been about eight years that she's been living a bit of a vagabond lifestyle, kind of chasing each story that she becomes passionate about and wants to tell," Bledel explains. "So, crashing on couches and staying with friends ... not necessarily planting roots anywhere."
The passage of time allowed Bledel to rethink her role.
"It's almost like crafting a new character in a sense: a completely different approach," the actress said. "I mean, my life experience now is completely different than it was when I was 18. So, I was able to just kind of pick and choose what I wanted to bring with me and create the rest."
Revisiting her first significant role has been a uniquely meaningful experience.
"It's almost like getting a do-over, you know? To come back and visit a program," says Bledel. "It was such a big opportunity for me the first time around. And to get to revisit that same experience and do it all better, I can't really articulate what specifically was done better. [But] we were able to do it the way we would have liked to do it the first time."
"Going into this experience knowing what she means to people and knowing how many young women she's inspired to work hard and pursue an education at the highest level, you treat the experience with great care knowing these things," she adds. "So, I carried that with me, and it's inspiring for me. It's almost like a circle. I can energize people. They energize me. And we just keep going along that line."
All three of Rory's oft-debated beaus are slated to return.
"It think there is satisfying closure for any fans of any of the three couples that tend to get some attention," she said. "But they're very different interactions. I would say each one of them is a closure in a different way. I can't unfortunately say too much about it. I know! It's frustrating!"

Red-light cameras are about revenue, not safety, says senator pushing ban
Red light photo tickets are a hot topic in Denver, with councilwomen Jeanne Faatz and Mary Beth Susman both questioning the program, especially as it applies to citations for crossing the white stop line -- an infraction whose fine was halved this week, but not eliminated.
Now, the issue could make a stir statewide thanks to a new bill backed by Senator Scott Renfroe.
If approved, Senate Bill 50, which is tentatively scheduled to go before the transportation committee on February 7, will "ban red-light cameras and the use of photos of traffic violations for ticketing people, as well as the data base for that information," Renfroe says.
In some ways, Renfroe is an unlikely backer for such a measure. After all, he notes, "I'm a local control guy" -- one reason Liberty Watch named him a Guardian of Liberty, along with nine other fellow Republicans, at a ceremony this week. However, he adds, "I think this is a statewide concern. I think we need to make it uniform across the state. And right now, I think it's pretty clear that what's going on in some cities -- not all of them, but some of them -- is that this is a revenue-generator. And it needs to be about safety."

In Renfroe's view, "there are a lot of ways a city can engineer safety into intersections without red light cameras -- things cities can do to make intersections safer without using Big Brother tactics."
Example: "There was a Texas transportation study that looked at three years' worth of police reports at 180 intersections in Texas that had a lot of issues with red light accidents. They found that making the yellow light one second longer reduced accidents by half, and shortening the yellow light by one second doubled the number of accidents."
Data like this suggests to Renfroe that red-light cameras are mainly about money -- and he understands how cities can become addicted to such cash infusions. "They're getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar," he maintains. "In Denver, they voted to cut down their white-line fee, but why not go one step further and refund people they gave tickets to and collected all that money? It's absurd the type of tickets they're handing out, and the exponential growth in the number of them since they recalibrated their equipment. That shows this is revenue-driven."
Renfroe has not personally received such a ticket, and he notes that there aren't any red-light cameras in his district. (He represents much of Weld County, including Greeley.) "But I have constituents send me bill ideas every day," he continues, "and I think this one came from e-mails last summer. I mentioned the idea at an event at CSU, and people there were very supportive."
They've got plenty of company on both sides of the ideological aisle, Renfroe believes. "I don't think this should be a partisan issue," he says. "I think this should be a safety issue. And since the bill was announced, I've had an overwhelming number of e-mails coming in, even from Democrats who'll explain, 'I support you on this.' So I definitely think this is an issue where we should be able to come together and put some common sense into what we're doing."

Pakistan's middle-order batsman Younis Khan pleaded to his fans to pray for his nephew so that her soul rest in peace. Younis had to fly back home while Pakistan was touring Sri Lanka, as soon as he received the news of his nephews' demise.
Younis was in a state of shock while he expressed his feelings, "I loved my nephew a lot. He was a son of my brother Shaheed Khan. He was best treated in India but destiny was not in our favour and he could not survive," reported Pakistan Observer.
He further added, "Perhaps in Pakistan the diagnosis for his liver transplant could not be made at an early stage with a result we have lost the boy". Please pray for his soul."
The eight year kid Saad Khan was brought in a critical condition to Gurgaon's Meadanta Hospital on August 18, 2014. Dr. Neelam Mohan said, "We had told the parents to bring this boy in June. Had the boy been brought two months earlier, he would have 100 % recovered."
She further added, "He was brought in a very critical condition and the infection was spreaded in lungs and other parts of the body, hence I could not perform liver transplant surgery on him. Even heavy dosages of anti-biotics could not help him recover."
She believes, "The boy was accompanied by his parents and the mother was to donate the part of the liver. We wonder why the visa formalities of this boy, who is coming from a high profile family (uncle national cricketer) was delayed." She feels, "People should be aware about the consequences of the liver diseases and should act immediately." She expressed her condolence as she could not save the boy.

Apple's Mac Pro - Upgrading CPUs, Memory & Running XP
by Anand Lal Shimpi on September 12, 2006 1:51 AM EST- Posted in
- Mac
Upgrading the Mac Pro's CPU
Now that Apple has completed the switch to Intel based processors, upgrading your CPU is a much cheaper and more accessible option for Mac users. In the past, upgrading your CPU required visiting an Apple specific vendor and paying quite a bit for a processor since the demand was honestly quite low. Now, with the Mac Pro and any other Intel based Mac that has a socketed processor an upgrade is just as easy as a trip to Newegg.
The Mac Pro we ordered was the slowest 2.0GHz configuration, since we wanted to try and upgrade it to faster parts to see if it was possible. By opting for the slowest CPUs, you can buy a cheaper overall computer and simply throw in faster CPUs once they drop in price - assuming the upgrades work of course.
By far the biggest problem with upgrading the CPUs in the Mac Pro is gaining access to them. While Apple made it very easy to upgrade memory, storage and PCIe cards in the Mac Pro, getting access to the CPUs is considerably more difficult. The entire process would be made much easier if we were able to remove the memory cage, but as we mentioned in our last article the standoffs that the cage is screwed into would not remain in place while we unscrewed the cage. To make a long story short, we weren't able to remove the memory cage without stripping the screws that held it in place, so we had to come up with an alternative solution; luckily we were able to do just that.
The first step is to remove the heatsink cover, which has latches along its sides that the fan assembly and part of the memory cage hook up to. With the memory cage in place, your only option is to pull back on the memory cage to unlatch it from the heatsink cover and slowly pull/rotate the cover off. This process is made somewhat easier by removing the two screws that attach the memory cage to the motherboard, since it allows the cage to move a little more freely. Obviously you'll want to remove both memory risers before doing this, but simply pulling the cage back towards the rear of the case and pushing the heatsink cover in the opposite direction should let you unlatch it.
With the memory side of the heatsink cover unlatched, simply pull it away from the fan assembly being careful not to break the latches. After you've done this, the Xeon heatsinks should be exposed.

You do realize that the Mac Pro comes with all the drive sleds... you can add the WD5000KS drives yourself later. You can also add memory yourself.
Doing it this way... ordering the Mac Pro with 2 x 512MB RAM and 1 500GB drive costs: $3009.
Add in the RAM you quote: 4 DIMMS at $680 + 2 WD5000KS at $189 @ = $4067
Total difference then is a mere $256.
You are still missing firewire 400 and 800 and firewire target disk mode.
The power supply in the Mac Pro is much beefier.
Windows XP 64 bit is a mess.
And then we get to the fact that you are comparing a retail price to a non-retail price, comparing a bunch of parts to a fully assembled system, and you are leaving out the shipping issue altogether. Certainly, it is possible to pay $4,909 + tax for the Mac Pro. It is also very possible to pay far less.
The arguments in this regard are less about Apple and more about homebuilt vs. Tier 1 vendor. You might as well be comparing against IBM Intellistations, Sun Ultra 40's, or HP xw8400's. You'd appreciate it not being a homebuilt when you have to manage many of these over time.
A 5% discount on the base system + the extra RAM and drives added later is $3917, or $106 difference. I usually get bigger discounts than that 5% on systems like this.
In the end, if you aren't interested in using Mac OS X at all, the Mac Pro is probably not for you. It is the complete suite... from the hardware (including the nice boot menu, target disk mode, etc), the software (Mac OS X, iLife, platform user experience, etc.), solutions integration (Xsan costs $999 vs. ADIC StorNext at $4k for SAN filesystems), on through to applications (Final Cut Studio, Shake, etc.).

Windows XP Professional supports two processors (cores) out of the box. Put a Windows 2003, and see where you get... Reply -

and even that "home built" price was without a case, OS, or power supply. Reply -

As for the OS, you could "migrate" your Windows XP - with one small problem - XP is 1-2 processors only, this configuration would have 4 cores...
So, add another ... for Windows 2003 Reply -

Sorry, but that's wrong. XP is 1-2 *sockets* only. XP home will work with a dual core or even quad core CPU just fine, and XP Pro works with all 2S workstation setups without difficulty. Microsoft modified the way they count CPUs when dual core first came out. Reply -

I suppose this appeared in some service pack. I've thought that XP is somehow physically limited in using just two apparent processors (one processors with HyperThreading, one dual core processor and so on). I was not referring to the licensing limitation (which I know very well - Microsoft counts one processor package as processor, no matter how many cores inside).
So, will Windows XP use all the 8 cores in a 2 socket quad core configuration?
Thanks Reply

So, I guess I'm channeling Oscar the Grouch today. The Today show had this cake today for Cookie, Elmo(I can do a mean impression of him, by the way) and some Abbie ca dabbie girl muppet.
(What? No I don't know her. My kid is 12. Cookie Monster used to still eat cookies, the last time I. watched SS).
Oscar probably wouldn't get out of bed so early. Ahem.
This cake pains me. I hate fondant copouts. I think someone phoned it in. Three-d, people! And the little mounded faces don't really count. I can tell Duff's team was nowhere near this.
Happy Friday, kids!

New DLC for Borderlands 2 released today raises the level cap by 11 to 72 for those who purchase the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 Digistruct Peak Challenge. Quite the mouthful from Gearbox. A new map and mission is featured; Raid on Digistruct Peak. Overpowered enemies are unlocked for "more powerful loot." This new DLC is not part of the GOTY release. It's ideal for those looking to "wield insane loot" that exceeds the level 72 cap. Gearbox has included new heads and skins also as part of the DLC. Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 Digistruct Peak Challenge: • Raises level cap by 11, for a new level cap of 72 when combined with the first Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack. • Characters gain a skill point with every level, for a total of 11 more skill points. • A challenging new map and mission, Raid on Digistruct Peak. • Powerful new Legendary class mods and rare Pearlescent-grade weapons. • The ability to unlock overpowered enemies for more powerful loot. • New heads and skins to unlock. Ultimate Upgrade Pack 2 builds off the foundation of the first Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack, rewarding players that own both packs with additional bonuses Packed full of ultra-powerful enemies, Raid on Digistruct Peak is an unrelenting gauntlet for Pandora's toughest to prove their mettle. Those that defeat the challenge at Level 72 will earn rewards unlike anything Borderlands 2 players have seen before - most notably, the ability to wield insane loot that exceeds the Level 72 cap (imagine what the stats on a Level 80 Conference Call look like) ...and face even harder foes. Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 Digistruct Peak Challenge is available for £3.49 / $4.99. |
