The IPCC model simulation archive
The work involved in these experiments was significant and unfunded. At GISS, the simulations took about a year to do. That includes a few partial do-overs to fix small problems (like an inadvertent mis-specification of the ozone depletion trend), the processing of the data, the transfer to PCMDI and the ongoing checking to make sure that the data was what it was supposed to be. The amount of data was so large – about a dozen different experiments, a few ensemble members for most experiments, large amounts of high-frequency data – that transferring it to PCMDI over the internet would have taken years. Thus, all the data was shipped on terabyte hard drives.
Once the data was available from all the modelling groups (all in consistent netcdf files with standardised names and formatting), a few groups were given some seed money from NSF/NOAA/NASA to get cracking on various important comparisons. However, the number of people who have registered to use the data (more than 1000) far exceeded the number of people who were actually being paid to look at it. Although some of the people who were looking at the data were from the modelling groups, the vast majority were from the wider academic community and for many it was the first time that they'd had direct access to raw GCM output.
With that influx of new talent, many innovative diagnostics were examined. Many, indeed, that hadn't been looked at by the modelling groups themselves, even internally. It is possibly under-appreciated that the number of possible model-data comparisons far exceeds the capacity of any one modelling center to examine them.
The advantages of the database is the ability to address a number of different kinds of uncertainty, not everything of course, but certainly more than was available before. Specifically, the uncertainty in distinguishing forced and unforced variability and the uncertainty due to model imperfections.
When comparing climate models to reality the first problem to confront is the 'weather', defined loosely as the unforced variability (that exists on multiple timescales). Any particular realisation of a climate model simulation, say of the 20th Century, will have a different sequence of weather – that is, the weather pattern on Jan 31, 1967 in one realisation will be uncorrelated to the weather pattern on Jan 31, 1967 in another realisation, even though each run has the same climate forcing (increases in greenhouse gases, volcanoes etc.). There is no expectation that the weather in any one model will be correlated to that in the real world either. So any comparison of climate models and data needs to estimate the amount of change that is due to the weather and the amount related to the forcing. In the real world, that is difficult because there is certainly a degree of unforced variability even at decadal scales (and possibly longer). However, in the model archive it is relatively easy to distinguish.
The standard trick is to look at the ensemble of model runs. If each run has different, uncorrelated weather, then averaging over the different simulations (the ensemble mean) gives an estimate of the underlying forced change. Normally this is done for one single model and for metrics like the global mean temperature, only a few ensemble members are needed to reduce the noise. For other metrics – like regional diagnostics – more ensemble members are required. There is another standard way to reduce weather noise, and that is to average over time, or over specific events. If you are interested in the impact of volcanic eruptions, it is basically equivalent to run the same eruption 20 times with different starting points, or collect together the response of 20 different eruptions. The same can be done with the response to El Niño for instance.
With the new archive though, people have tried something new – averaging the results of all the different models. This is termed a meta-ensemble, and at first thought it doesn't seem very sensible. Unlike the weather noise, the difference between models is not drawn from a nicely behaved distribution, the models are not independent in any solidly statistical sense, and no-one really thinks they are all equally valid. Thus many of the pre-requisites for making this mathematically sound are missing, or at best, unquantified. Expectations from a meta-ensemble are therefore low. But, and this is a curious thing, it turns out that the meta-ensemble of all the IPCC simulations actually outperforms any single model when compared to the real world. That implies that at least some part of the model differences is in fact random and can be cancelled out. Of course, many systematic problems remain even in a meta-ensemble.

I don't see how you can compare a refurb to a new one at costco. I would much rather pay 30.00 more for a new one at costco and their return policy can't be beat. Returning something to woot is not nearly as easy as returning to costco. Well worth the 30.00.
ojohn wrote:The tricks for getting into Costco without a membership:
At the door say you are going to the snack bar. All Costco snack bars are free to get in to the public! Once in you can look around but you can't buy anything - except at the snack bar. Try the pizza or the hot dog or the sausage and peppers sandwich. Note, this is an old promotion trick for Costco, not something underhanded, they used to want people to come in and look around. They don't promote this bit anymore but it still works.
The trick for buying something in Costco without a membership:
Use a Costco Gift Card. Costco members can buy a Costco gift card inside the store. (I've never seen them sold anywhere else but they might be.) When you have a Costco gift card, say it's a $50 card, you can get into the store and you can buy anything in the store at the Costco price. You can buy the $500 computer or whatever else at the Costco price using the $50 gift card plus additional. So get someone with a Costco membership to buy a gift card there for you.
Now back to woot, Vizio, and Squaretrade...
There is something you might want to add. If you do this too many times costco will flag you and you will not be allowed to do it again. You do not have to be a member to buy at costco.com but you will pay a little higher price. If you are going to do a lot of shopping at costo I recommend that you and someone else in your household go in on a membership and split the 55.00 annual fee as the second card is free.
Vizio is not known for their quality, but if I wanted a cheap tablet for entry-level use or for playing Pimp My Tablet I'd pick them over a lot of the other no-name companies.

See my posts on the last page there, or page 15 as it exists so far.
If you don't want to read through the 15 pages there, GET THE SQUARETRADE WARRANTY. I didn't for this although I do for some things. I wish I had it for this. :mad:
To keep it short, I thought it was great until the charging connector broke 1 week before the 90 days - the charging connector is the weak point of this tablet, with complaints all over the net. It just breaks. They sent me a second ref-urb one which won't connect to wi-fi. I am now on a third, they sent a new one, which is better than the 2nd but not as good as my first and I want it replaced too, or my money back.
I found that the ref-urbed ones have a peelable plastic protector on the screen, but new units have a different kind of peelable plastic on the screen and all around the unit.
Other users on that thread have had the same and other problems and some cannot get any warranty service from Vizio.
Avoid this, or get the Squaretrade warranty.
I am surprised that woot/amazon is selling, for a second time, this proven troublesome unit with proven troublesome warranty service.
I can't even understand why anyone would by a refurb from woot when for a another 20 or 30 bucks they can get a new one from costco with costco's unbeatable return policy.
I got one last Woot for my son . No problems with the tablet but the usb cable was bent. It looked like someone tried to jam it in wrong. Anyways after I called Vizio they said go buy a new cable. Later people commented that they got support from Vizio ?? but I found a suitable cable from an old phone. The tablet itself works great for games, movies and music. It sounds better to me than my Ipad the 3 speakers always give you stereo no matter if you use it portrait or landscape. I like the fact that you can use Amazon market or Google play. I just noticed today that it is offering an OS upgrade and went and read some users are having some bugs. I'll wait and see how Vizio deals with it. Im happy with Froyo actually works pretty good.One final thought for all the get it at Costco or Walmart posters. you can't find them at ANY of the Costco or Wallymarts in my area . Don't be so sure the bird in your hand is available unless you check the local stores in person.

jnfr wrote:Would someone explain to me please exactly how you get a Square Trade extra warranty for this? I see that Amazon sells them for various price points and lengths of time, but how do you determine what price to cover? The refurb price? Replacement price?
And once you have a warranty how do you attach it to a device? TIA!!
Per Squaretrade website:
Your SquareTrade Care Plan is limited in value to the purchase price of your item, and we generally ask you to use the actual price paid for your item when purchasing a warranty.
However, if you bought your item from a retail website or store, and you got a substantial discount, the actual purchase price might be far lower than the fair replacement value of the item. In such a case, in order to make sure you have enough value in the warranty to replace your item after a claim, you are welcome to use the full regular retail price to purchase the warranty, as opposed to the sale price you paid. This might make the warranty more expensive than if you use the sale price, but you'll get more value in your coverage.
If you choose to use the full retail value to buy the warranty, please provide proof of that retail value of your item when you submit your sales receipt. If the full price is shown on your receipt, that is sufficient. If not, you can provide a local ad showing the original price, or a printout from the manufacturer's website or a national retail website (Amazon, Best Buy, etc.) showing the MSRP or regular price, or something similar showing the full value of the item.

The problem with the Vizio is it's really underpowered and the viewing angle is limited. The Blackberry Playbook might be worth looking into.
Agree, if the MAIN reason you want it is for an ereader get a Kindle Fire. I wanted it to be a better tablet than it is, and am disappointed.

The Iview is just as good or maybe better hardware, infact its basically the same hardware as a Galaxy s or Nexus s. Also has an official upgrade to ICS and both gingerbread and ICS versions are completely vanilla android with no bloatware.
you need to look again. Thats the CASE thats refurb for $50. The refurb tablet is 199 with a case.

MrJazz wrote:No, "Factory Data Reset" does not work... in fact mine wouldn't even perform one.
A "hard" reset though DOES work!
Make sure it's powered down (not sleeping) and hold in the volume rocker (top AND bottom) while you power up. Do not release the rocker until you see a triangle with and exclamation point. Of course, you'll still have to reinstall everything, but I viewed that as an opportunity to "clean house!"
True, you do lose the capacitive buttons (and screen real estate) but the tradeoff is worth it for the ability to select your external SD card as your default storage.
Still loving mine ~ Wootalicious!
I have done the hard reset.
I am telling you: It. Does. Not. Work.
Yes, I lost all my apps. No, it still will not play video for more than 4 - 5 minutes.
Honestly, if I did not want to play videos or read ebooks I might be ok with this thing. Unfortunately, those are the 2 things I bought it for and now I am super pissed about the disastrous update.

WOW ~ sorry to hear that!
After the update, I had connectivity issues first, then it went into a boot loop. I was pissed, too.
Just for giggles, I contacted Vizio (they emailed me a phone number) and they very patiently walked me thru several attempts to rectify the issues. Ultimately, the hard reset worked for me.
But considering that my Woot refurb warranty had expired, I think Vizio support went above and beyond. Try reaching out to them...

Just left Costco, yes Costco has them for $189.00, but they don't come with an HDMI cable or the case...
Can someone compare this with a Nook 8gb Tablet for me? (I just bought that for 199 + a free $50 gift cart on Thursday, so I could return it).
Obviously, this will have more access to the real Google Play app store as opposed to the woefully limited access on the Nook. The Nook has more storage, but the SD card slot can even that out. It looks to me like this has the same RAM as the 8g Nook Tab and the same 1GHZ processor.
I guess I basically answered my own question, but does anyone who has had hands on both (and eyes on both screens) have any feed back?
I want to be able to watch Hulu Plus, edit documents, check e-mail, facebook, and read blogs etc.

PS: I got my sis a Vizio for xmas and it seems more manageable.
ojohn wrote:The day of the woot sale, if there's a Squaretrade button on the page, you can click it to get the warranty. Sometimes, like today, there is a very good discount on the warranty. Today through that button it is $28.99 for one year for this unit, $15.00 for a second year.
If you don't get that warranty today through that button, you can go to their website within 7 days,
and get it separately. I just checked and through the website the 1 year would be $75.99 on the website for this refurbished unit. That's their full normal price.
You can register your unit on their website by emailing them your emailed receipt from woot, or for store bought items you can email a photo or scan of your store receipt.
Once you get any warranty from them, every month or two you'll get an email with a 25% or 30% off code for a warranty for anything else you get anywhere else, the discount code is good for only 7 days or sometimes 2 or 3 days.
So, if you're getting this Vizio here today, get the warranty here today through the button on the front page. You can do that all day long, but only today for this model. It's a good deal, and as we see, you just might need it for this model.
(I want to be clear, this is a great tablet at a great price with a nice case. When it works.)
WHY buy a refurb and a squaretrade warranty when you can buy a new one with 1 year manufacturers warranty and an additional 1 year warranty from Costco for LESS than that?!
I got my mom a Kindle Fire for Christmas because she likes reading but I think my Dad was a bit jealous..Was going to get him one for Fathers Day but would this be a good alternative?
Also - Would this be good for parents who are a little older & slow to technology? My Mom has caught on to apps a little more faster than my Dad but I think this would be pretty close to a kindle with the custom Vizio interface. Thanks!
bbonacci wrote:1. Sounds like a little attitude there.
2. Let's forget about the Costco membership and say that it's worth it if you buy some other things there.
3. $189 PLUS $10 shipping and no extras.
4. Are we sure it's NEW? I don't see any indication of new or refurb, nor do I see any warranty information.
EQUALS - this is still a good deal!
If you think this EQUALS a good deal you must have flunked math. The woot extras are worth $10 to anyone who knows how to shop online. The Costco 2 year warranty is worth at least $100 not to mention the priceless ease of returning a defective item. And YES,the COSTCO one is NEW not refurbished.
The only problem that I have had was the mini charger broke internally. I purchased mine at Costco and did a return and purchased a new one. The new one was much tighter feeling from the start.
Other than that, this tablet does everything I need. It has a clear screen, nice size, Android based, and has not given me any problems with upgrades. I have spent some time in forums to try and learn a little about Android, since it is new to me, but I think that wouldn't be necessary.
Nice unit and cheaper than I've seen it elsewhere.
I bought one and forgot to add the square trade warranty, is there any way to add it at the reduced woot price? The order has not shipped yet.
If you want a ST warranty, goto their website, get on mailing list and wait for 30% off email coupon. Or buy a ST tab warranty at Amazon.
$45 for 2 yrs plus drops and spills.

Getting 29 points from Aziza May, Saint Peter's scored 46 second-half points to defeat the Canisius College women's basketball team 74-65 in the Koessler Athletic Center on Thursday evening. The Golden Griffins drop their fourth straight game to fall to 8-14 overall and 5-6 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Senior Ashley Durham led Canisius with 16 points and four assists. Fellow senior Ashley Wilkes had a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench while freshman Tiahana Mills scored a career-high 13 points.
"Outside of a stretch in the first half, we didn't play any defense tonight. I felt that carried over to our offensive execution as well," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "This stretch and this loss tonight are going to test our mettle, but there are a few weeks left in the season to give us an opportunity to turn it around."
Saint Peter's (2-20, 2-9 MAAC) jumped out to an 18-9 lead just under seven minutes to the game before the Griffs scored 13 consecutive points. Canisius used eight points from Wilkes during the run that was capped by a deep 3-pointer from Mills. Canisius held Saint Peter's without a point for more than six minutes and maintained their lead through the rest of the half. Canisius went up by as many as five points after two free throws from junior Jen Morabito, and took a 31-28 lead into the locker room.
The Peacocks scored on their first three possessions of the second half to quickly erase the small deficit, but Canisius held on to the lead and took a 44-42 lead on a jumper from freshman Crystal Porter with just over 14 minutes left. Saint Peter's then scored 11 of the next 13 points, including two 3-pointers from Kristal Edwards as well as a 3-pointer from May, to go up 53-46 with 11:20 left.
Saint Peter's would never relinquish the lead the rest of the game, with Canisius making it a three-point game, trailing 61-58 after a layup from junior Jamie Ruttle with 2:52 left. The Peacocks answered with a jumper from Kaydine Bent and scored five straight points to go up 66-58. Saint Peter's made 11 free throws in the final two minutes to put the game away.
May scored the 29 points on 9-of-17 shooting, to go along with eight rebounds. Bent recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes. Edwards had 18 points and seven steals. Saint Peter's shot 51.9 percent in the second half and scored 23 points off the Griffs' 16 turnovers.

I bought .223 Romanian mags from apex for $30.00 each. I think they are just right.
kVAR has bulgy mags in 223 reasonably priced or did the 10 rounders were under $10. , there are several kinds of steel 223 mags out there for the ak vaariants the chineese are narrower as I recall some were there is a thread i started on the the differances. all the 223 AK mags are priced at or below the AR mags designed for the beowulf. Not sure what you mean all the ones you found were to pricy??? a AR to AK addapter is really pricy hell the rounds them selves are really pricy. at what it costs to feed the thing mags even at $50 piece is the cheap part. there are also some US made mags however Id avoid the pro mags as they have plastic lips. For the 444????? project (I have the barrel in the lathe again) I found chineese steal mags pretty close. the beauty of the steal mags is you can bend and weld to the lips ect if nessacry.
Jo Co: WASR 10/SAR 3 in 7.62x39 holds 10RD
BTW the 223 ak mags I have have a slightly longer lenght this will allow for a longer AOL of a round I find that very important when reloading 223 ammo and it would possably be of benifit for the beowulf as well allowing possably differant bullet combos.
some were i have a source of al the differaant places that sold 223 mags. with the new political BS many are out currently. ill see wht I can dig up. I recall that there wasent to much differance between a 5.45 and 5.56 mag other than the follwer. perhaps others can comment on that.
I would check with Century.
there used to be a add in SGN that had em pretty cheap Not sure there there any more.
the addapter woud be nice the prices are rediculas. Im suprised that some chinesse company that makes all the cheap AK accesories hasent marketed a ceap version. UTG or one of the other ones. Ive wanted one to try in my varmit build with a drum mag to add weight to the gun and just make it so I dont have to get up and reload all the time.
Considering I'd have to widen the feed lips for the 7.62 bolt, etc., I really don't want to mess around with plastic magazines. The 5.45 magazine I bought would require a bunch of tweaking to work.
thats crazy. it was at a show several weeks ago and there were mags in the $25 range and that was show prices. they were the steel narrrow type like Im using on my 444???? conversionQuote:
Eh? Two months ago, only ones that weren't "out of stock" were in the $75 range, each, for steel magazines.
Id perfer steel as well unless a 50 beowulf just happend to fit perfict. Id stick one in a Bulgy mag just to see how it fit. The Bulgy mags have steel lips embeded in the plastic BTW.
why dont you just narrow the carrier or use a AMD carrier??? the bolt will clear AK mags as is. I have narrowed several carriers on 223 conversions,
Interestingly, the M-16 magazine I have accepts and feeds 5.45 ammunition flawlessly.
The order form, money order, and drawing for the chambering reamer is on the desk. It'll go off to Pacific tomorrow. I also ordered one of the 6x6x30 stainless park tanks turrican on falfiles sells for $120.

About two-thirds of "top U.S. Catholic leaders have allowed priests accused of sexual abuse to keep working, a practice that spans decades and continues today," according to a three-month review by the Dallas Morning News, published on the eve of the June conference of U.S. Bishops scheduled to adopt policy on pedophile priests.
At least 111 of the nation's 178 "mainstream, or Roman rite" Catholic dioceses are headed by men who have protected accused or even convicted priests and other church officials. Implicated bishops represent 40 states. The newspaper's June 12 exposé notes Church spokesmen did not dispute the findings.
All 8 cardinals who lead American dioceses--and most members of the bishops committee that drafted the proposed "two strikes, you're out" policy--are involved, according to reporters Brooks Egerton & Reese Dunklin.
The newspaper's website details allegations against Catholic bishops at www.dallasnews.com/cgi-bin/2002/priests.cgi
At least 300 civil lawsuits alleging priestly sex abuse have been filed since January, according to an Associated Press survey. AP reports nearly 250 Roman Catholic priests were suspended or removed in that time period, while a Washington Post survey published on June 9 cites 218 priests removed. At least 34 known offenders remain in church jobs, according to that newspaper.
At least 850 U.S. priests have been accused of sexual misconduct with minors since the early 1960s, and more than 350 were removed before this year, according to the Post.
The San Francisco Examiner reports at least 3,000 priests have been accused of misconduct and at least 1,300 have been treated for "psychosexual disorders."
Vatican: Coverage "Anti-Catholic"
The Vatican-approved Jesuit magazine Civilta Cattolica in early June criticized the "morbid and scandalous" treatment of the church sex abuse scandal in the United States as "anti-Catholic" and "anti-papal." The magazine previously recommended in May that bishops avoid telling congregations that parish priests have sexually abused victims, if the bishops believe the priests won't abuse again.
Leading Latin American Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga also accused the U.S. media of being anti-Catholic in an interview with the Roman Catholic monthly magazine 30 Giorni (30 Days).
The American media is reacting with "a fury which reminds me of the times of Diocletian and Nero and more recently, Stalin and Hitler," said Rodriguez, 59, considered a possible successor to Pope John Paul II.
"What is happening now, for example, to Cardinal Law is a scandal."
"Not to mention newspapers like the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Boston Globe, which were protagonists of what I do not hesitate to define as a persecution against the church," the Honduran cardinal added.
Church Criminal Investigations Start
Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley announced May 30 that he is launching a criminal investigation into the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix over its failure to report complaints of sexual misconduct against priests.
Romley may consult with other prosecutors nationwide to speak "with a singular voice" to the church, he said. Prosecutors in such cities as Boston, Los Angeles and Philadelphia have also launched similar investigations.
Jehovah's Witnesses Demand Witnesses
A letter from elders of the Jehovah's Witnesses was read at June services instructing that sexual abuse allegations will be rejected unless there are "two independent witnesses."
The elders cite Deut. 19:15, which says: "No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand."
The scandal-ridden Church recently expelled former headquarters employee Barbara Anderson, for saying she has seen hundreds of suppressed files of accusations. Kentucky elder Bill Bowen, who told NBC: "It's a pedophile's paradise within the organization," also faces expulsion. He has created the website http://silentlambs.org
Baptist Laundry "Pretty Dirty"
Speaking at the opening of the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist convention in St. Louis on June 9, Rev. Bobby Welch, of Florida, said: "We shouldn't enjoy this Catholic mess too much. We're waiting on the other shoe to drop, and when it does, don't be surprised if there is more and more within our ranks."
Rev. Frank Ruff, the Southern Baptist liaison to the Catholic bishops, told the convention-goers: "Our dirty laundry is out there for everybody to see--and it's pretty dirty."

I tried this Dalmatian (Croatia) white blend of four grapes but it was pretty awful. The grapes were Marastina, Trbljan, Zlataric (sounds like a medicine) and Visokokvalitemih. How's that for offbeat? Another reviewer said it tasted rough and unfinished. (My bottle did go "unfinished." Tried one glass and then down the drain.)
Revived my palate with a Saar Riesling (will post on main Wine Forum.) Next up a not-so-obscure Rioja white from Viura grape (a wine somewhat unusual for me but not for others) and a Rhone white which again may not be obscure to others but something I rarely purchase or try.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Aug 17, 2008.
nice list...good reasoning.
You lost respect for "some" because they have an opinion which differs from your own? There are places that actually encourage and promote that kind of thinking...I doubt you would like them very much.
AD - sad he missed out on the first championship, did so much dlwn low given his size, so crafty Big Ben - another undersized outperformer down low of a very different sort Worm - brought a whole different element to the Bad Boys, worth an extra half dozen possessions a game easily, which was often the key to victory Joe D. - always my favorite personality for his low key, hard working style (honorable mention here is Tay) Zeke - the undisputed lead warrior dog of the first championships (honorable mention here is Big Shot)
I think he means more the people who are actively shredding him to bits this offseason, not necessarily the ones who don't have him as one of their all-time "fave 5". Food for thought, if any of the old Joe D and Co. was on this team now, I bet some of us would be shredding them to bits, too.
Either way. Disagreeing with someone is one thing but losing respect for them because they are tough or possibly unfair in their assessment of a basketball player or his value to a team???? Just doesn't seem right to me. But that's just me...
"Favorite" doesn't need reasoning.
That is one of the reasons I made the post but really it came down to the fact that no one gave "Big Shot" his just due. I understand that favorite doesn't include reasoning, however it seems to me that most of the responses were all great players. Needless to say that chauncey is one of the greatest Pistons of all time, trust that. I just find it difficult to deny a player his respect just because this team has "underchieved". We should only be so lucky guys remember that. 1 NBA title, 2 Conf. titles, 6 straight Eastern Conf. titles, and it considered by franchises as a standard of excellence.
Exactly...Remember that Flip Saunders was my favorite coach.
in no order: maxiell big ben isiah joe d laimbeer
You left out the 3 (or is it 4?) straight Central Division titles. Those are the crown jewels of Flip's resume.
1. Ben Wallace 2. Dennis Rodman 3. Tayshaun Prince 4. Corliss Williamson 5. Jason Maxiell 5. Rick Mahorn 5. Bill Laimbeer 5. Lindsey Hunter 5. Rasheed Wallace You take all my guys in their prime and put them on the same team; I think they could consistently put up 60 point games, while holding their opponents to high 40's. Man, that would be fun to watch!
I can't believe no one has added Cliff Robinson. Where's the love?
1.-Vinnie Johnson 2.-Isiah 3.-Dumars 4.-Corliss Williamson 5.-Big Ben
I'm going to date myself, but here goes: Isiah AD Bill Laimbeer Kelly Tripucka The Microwave. Allan Houston and G Hill would have made it, but they both tore my heart out when they bolted. Dave Bing gets honorable mention, John Long honorable, honorable. My favorite recent Pistons: Darko Carlos Rip Sheed Okur

Tar Heels In the NBA Update
by Megan Morketter, GoHeels.com
North Carolina has an all-time high of 17 former Tar Heels playing in the NBA this season, many of whom are playing key roles with a variety of teams. GoHeels.com will update Carolina fans on a weekly basis on how UNC alums have played in the last week.
Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors: Barnes shot 66 percent for seven points in the Warriors' most recent game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but the Warriors fell, 109-102. Earlier in the week, the rookie tallied five points, 12 rebounds and five assists in two games.
Vince Carter, Dallas Mavericks: Carter notched double digits in two games last week. Facing the San Antonio Spurs, the guard/forward put up 17 points, adding four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. He logged 15 points with four rebounds, three assists and three steals in the win over the Phoenix Suns.
Ed Davis, Toronto Raptors: Across his last three games, Davis averaged 13.7 points and 7.3 rebounds. The Raptors bested the Orlando Magic, but dropped to the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wayne Ellington, Memphis Grizzlies: Ellington came alive last week, shooting 7-of-9 from the field (3-for-3 beyond the arc) for 17 points in the one-point loss to the Indiana Pacers. His accuracy continued as the Grizzlies took on the Raptors. The guard was 3-of-5 from the field (3-of-4 beyond the arc) for 12 points as the Grizzlies topped the Raptors, 99-98.
Raymond Felton, New York Knicks: After fracturing his pinky finger on his right hand Christmas day, Felton made his return to the court against the Philadelphia 76ers. Playing 29 minutes, the point guard managed eight points, three assists and two steals. The following game, Felton contributed 12 points, 10 assists and four rebounds for his third double-double of the season.
Danny Green, San Antonio Spurs: Green's best performance last week came when the Spurs took on the New Orleans Hornets. He recorded 12 points, seven rebounds and two steals as his team went on to defeat the Hornets, 106-102.
Tyler Hansbrough, Indiana Pacers: The fourth-year forward/center shot 80 percent from the field in two of his last three games. Against the Grizzlies, he logged nine points and eight rebounds. Facing the Utah Jazz, Hansbrough added eight points and three rebounds, but the Pacers fell by a narrow margin.
Brendan Haywood, Charlotte Bobcats: Haywood struggled last week, producing six points and 12 rebounds across three games.
John Henson, Milwaukee Bucks: Last week, Henson totaled 13 points and four rebounds over two games. The Bucks defeated the 76ers, but could not hold on versus the Cavaliers.
Antawn Jamison, L.A. Lakers: Jamison's strongest game was against the Oklahoma City Thunder when the veteran recorded 12 points and two rebounds in 14 minutes. The Lakers won, 105-96.
Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets: Lawson continued to post high numbers last week. Taking on the Houston Rockets, the point guard put up 21 points along with seven assists, four rebounds and two steals. Lawson repeated the performance, and then some, versus the Sacramento Kings as he posted 26 points, six assists and four steals.
Kendall Marshall, Phoenix Suns: Marshall saw his first minutes since Jan. 12 facing the Mavericks. In 15 minutes, the rookie went 2-of-3 from beyond the arc for six points.
Jerry Stackhouse, Brooklyn Nets: Stackhouse's hamstring continued to give him trouble last week. He played limited minutes in the Nets' three games and was only able to contribute six points and one rebound.
Rasheed Wallace, New York Knicks: Wallace is still nursing a stress reaction and chronic condition in his left foot. The forward/center has not played since Dec. 13.
Marvin Williams, Utah Jazz: Williams combined for 17 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals over the Jazz's last three games. His team was bested by the Lakers but overpowered the Washington Wizards and Pacers.
Brandan Wright, Dallas Mavericks: After watching from the bench since Jan. 14, Wright was back in action Jan. 27. He managed four points and three rebounds in the Mavericks' win over the Suns.
Tyler Zeller, Cleveland Cavaliers: Zeller had two double-digit rebounding games last week. He posted six points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in the win over the Boston Celtics. Versus the Raptors, the rookie added four points and 12 rebounds.

Rachel & Brian
July 7
Woodbine, Maryland
Q&A with the Bride
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Circle D had a beautiful outdoor space for our ceremony and a spacious ballroom that was a perfect size for our reception. What really sold us, however, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional and responsive.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
One of my favorite decorative details from our wedding was the a personalized hand carved vase which was given to us from a friend of my family. He carved the wooden vase out of a branch from a tree in my childhood neighbors backyard. It read "Rachel + Brian" surrounded by a heart and had two small birds perched on each side. Amazing!
My favorite detail from the ceremony was the "tying of the knot". My brother officiated the wedding and he put together a beautiful ceremony in which Brian and I held hands as each person in the wedding party draped a braided cord over our hands. Each cord represented a vow. At the end, the cords were tied, thus binding Brian and I together in marriage. Now we have an awesome keepsake!
We gave the flower girl and ring bearer gifts at the reception after the wedding as a thank you for being a part of our day. Included in these bags of goodies were a super-hero cape and mask for Brady and butterfly wings and wand for Kimmy. The pictures which ensued after these two kids dressed up were priceless!
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
The last dance! At the end of a long day (which goes by incredibly fast), right before everyone scattered, we had our final dance of the evening. Everyone gathered around, Brian pulled me close, and we quickly proceeded to rock out to "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness. So much fun! Perfect ending!

Hello all,
I've been a serial lurker here for some time and have finally created an account in order to ask some (probably inane) questions.
As the subject suggests, I was considering taking my first steps into the TEFL world. Following some research (primarily internet-based) I've come to the Earth-shattering conclusion that a majority of jobs advertised are seeking CELTA (or equivalent) certification.
However, notwithstanding the cost of the course, I have some reservations relating specifically to my situation and was hoping that this might be the place to post in order to canvass some responses. If you're still with me (thanks, I promise I won't go on for too much longer) then here goes...
I'm forty years of age and fairly recently (2010) left a steady but utterly uninspiring job in IT in an attempt to embark on a career as a teacher (what's that you say? Mid-life crisis?). Initially, things went well and I spent a fantastic year at college during which I 'aced' my access course. There followed acceptance in to university and unfortunately here things took a turn for the worse. Very quickly I realised that the course I was reading for wasn't for me (BEd in primary education) and so after several months, I left.
Since leaving university, I've been working in IT again and am once again bored witless.
The 'teaching dream' is starting to stir again and having always been a competent practitioner of English - as well as someone who is passionate about this subject - I wondered if perhaps TEFL, free as it is from the suffocating influence of the national curriculum, might be a better fit for me.
I hope that if you've got this far then you might be willing to offer a reply. I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone in a similar situation to my own who has had a stab at TEFL (especially those without degrees).

Nice pics and very nice gun. Would you mind giving us some of your thoughts or comparisons on you SW99 to maybe a Glock or an XD?
Nice pics and very nice gun. Would you mind giving us some of your thoughts or comparisons on you SW99 to maybe a Glock or an XD?
Well, I have prev had a Glock 17, Glock 19 and Glock 26 - No matter how much practice I did, I was never that good with Glocks. Now, I have a Glock 34 (5" barrel - 9mm), and it is the first Glock that I shoot pretty well - But, it comes with a stock lighter trigger - I am assuming that is what has made the difference. Apparently, it is VERY common among people who shoot Glocks to shoot low and to the left until you get the hang of the trigger - I never could get over that.
I rented an SW99 last year - 1st time, I wasn't a huge fan of it. Very accurate, but it took a while to get used to the different mag release and the different trigger system. Rented it 2 more times a few months later and fell in love with it. I LOVE the SA pull on it. I also shot it as well as the Glock 34, a gun with an inch longer barrel. MY mom was with me 1 time, and she even liked it (her first time ever shooting a gun in her life) - I ended up buying one soon after - I will admit that I wanted a Walther P99 instead, but I could not get a full size one w/ the A/S trigger in my area. So, I settled on the SW99 - It is the same gun as the Walther anyway, it just has cosmetic differences.
Finally, I shot my Glock 26 again in Oct, and I had had enough - I carried that gun for 8 years because of the tennifer finish and it's resistance to rust, but I hated it. But, by then, I had finally found out that the Walther P99s also come with a tennifer finish. Luckily, I was able to get a compact Walther P99 - I sold the Glock 26, and I like the compact Walther much better.
As for the XD - I have rented one before, and I shot it pretty well. It's not bad. This whole slide rusting thing has given me pause, but if I ever get one, I would probably hard chrome the slide anyway, so it wouldn't matter then. MAYBE 1 day I will get an XD - I would like an OD green one, since I wasn't able to get an OD green Glock 34 (I still want 1 green gun ) .
I think my next gun purchase this year will be another 1911 - a Kimber, and then who knows after that. I'd like a 45 XD, but I will tell you - the .45 ammo gets expensive very quick...

A lot of news gets filtered by our GOOBERMENT in order to not cause us to become inflamed and panic. The new Israeli Prime Minister I think will get elected is going to run a hard line on ones who have pushed them around for so long. The count down will start at that time.
Mexico with its delima now being gutted by the drug lords and GOOBERMENT with greed has more or less now fallen. It is just a matter of time till IRAN and or RUSSIA takes control of our Southern border neighbor. Then, it is going to move quickly beyond that before we are in a SHTF mode.

Try making the cylinder move back and forth, from contact with the barrel to contact with the recoil shield.
If the cylinder moves back and forth, the gun is not working correctly. The movement should be so small that you can't easily feel or see it.
If the cylinder moves in this way, fired cartridges will press rearward against the recoil shield and slow, or even jam-up, cylinder rotation.
A gunsmith can repair this.
But if the gun is new, Taurus should do the repair at no cost to you.

22-250 runs some really high pressures. I think SAMMI is 65,000 PSI so its in the magnum range.Quote:
the idea of 22-250 ak hehe sounds fun if it would be safe
Im going to do a barrel for the switch build and reload. there are gains to be made with the larger case and slower powders longer barrel combo and keep the levels in check.
a custom super trunion and bolt is needed for all these cool build ideas.
If I get the the 308 sagia converted Ill be doing a full power 22-250 as well as a 22-cheetah.

Recently I had a conversation with Jack Androvich, who will be keynoting at our Customer Intelligence Forum in Los Angeles on April 18th. Here are a few key takeaways from this conversation. If you are a CI professional, a marketer who cares about the role of technology in your job, or a technologist serving marketers, you will find the conversation enlightening.
1. Jack, marketing operations functions tend to have a broad mandate; can you tell us the role of marketing operations at Autodesk and how you defined the mandate for this function?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Sounds like this discussion has prompted you to rethink a few things. That''s what''s great about these forums. We can all learn from each other.
Here''s wishing you both excellent MOB proficiency that you never need to use for real!
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Last year was my first season with my boat, and I''ll do some things differently this year. The boat came with a lifesling aboard, but I took it out because I figured if it was just tossed in the lazzurette you couldn''t get to it in time to be of any use. After considering the MOB question more I can see the problems the wife will have if she has to come back for me. I think I am going to leave the cockpit back cushions ashore this season and rig several throwable life preserver/cushions, and the lifesling to be attached to the rails with velcro.
I made her practice going back to an object a few times last year and she did pretty well the Mac handles easy compared to bluewater boats, her instructions were to throw cushions at me as quickly as possible, go back, throw the end of one of the halyards overboard, and put the ladder down. I didn''t think hard enough about her slowing down or stopping. With the lifesling out, I think I would have a pretty good chance of getting aboard. We are pond sailors, so going overboard is not quite as serious as the middle of the Atlantic, most often there is a shoreline a reasonable distance away. If the weather gets nasty, we go back to camp and sit around the fire rather than putting on raingear. Some sailors huh.
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Yes, Stede, if was funny (albeit embarrassing) at the time considering no one was at risk. I sure hope neither of us repeats that mistake if we ever have a person in the water. I guess that''s why we have things called training and practice.
Fair winds, all.
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Great story Duane! ha!ha!ha!
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
An example of how an unexpected MOB event can be different from practice drills occured during a weeklong training class in Feb 02. For the final 2 days, there were just 2 students aboard the 38 foot sloop and no instructor.
We had the engine on and had just secured the main halyard after hoisting when my hat blew off (I always use clips after that). The other student was skipper for that day, and was at the helm as he shouted MOB. We immediately went into the figure eight drill we had practiced quite a bit during the previous days and were doing very well up until we tried to stop alongside the hat. For some reason we just kept moving by.
Turns out that the blowing wind, and our exuberance at conducting the procedure had masked the very quiet sound of - the engine still chugging along in gear!
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Billmac, I don''t think the MOB drills are any great mystery. The key is to pick one type of MOB practice,and make it second nature to you. The sailing schools I attended stressed what is called a "figure eight" method.I can sail this pattern and avoid using my engine,and the chance of running over my victim.I''ve come to rely on it and feel confident I can use it effectively if ever needed. The scenario you gave of the winch handle is an interesting one. Last year while sailing single-handed in the Florida Keys,I had a depth sounder cover go overboard.I immediately put the boat on a beam reach and started my figure eight approach.I was trying to watch the cover.The wind was ~18,and the seas rolling.It wasn''t long before I lost sight of the cover, but by the time I was finishing the figure 8 pattern, I spotted my cover on the leeward side of the boat where it should''ve been. The exercise emphasized two things to me.1) It was very hard to see a white plastic cover in rolling seas,and I could imagine how much harder it would be to spot a bobbing head with perhaps a flash of color every now and then 2)By using the figure eight method,it gave me a good chance of finding my target while keeping it on the leeward (protected)side of the boat. Now I have a GPS chartplotter on my boat that has a MOB feature on it. If I loose that darn cover again, I''ll push the little button on it, start my figure eight,and let the two technologies merge. Well, at least that''s the way I hope it works ;^)
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
The reason that there is so much discussion about rescuing a MOB is that it really is not all that easy to do. While you can often pick up a dropped object on a pass or two while on the fly. To bring a person aboard you need to end up stopped, close to the person and with control enough to stay there a matter of minutes sometimes. MOB incidents often occur in high winds and rough seas and so just turning and going back is not going to work. A violent jibe or a back winded jib can prevent you from returning and stopping accurately near the MOB.
In cold weather, when people wear more clothes and even worse foul weather gear, you have a surprisingly short time to make a rescue sometimes. I have told the story here of ending up in the water in late fall in foul weather gear in a short chop. Even with a life jacket on, I had trouble getting my head above water and out of the spray long enough to catch a breath. By the time the rescue boat got to me, I was so out of breath and so cold, that I hardly had the strength to get myself out of the water. It took three attempts to get back on board even after I had a grip on the rescue boat, each with me running out of strength and falling back into the water, before I made it on board. The third time, I pulled my body part way out of the water and let the water drain from my foul weather gear for a few seconds, then several times more pulled myself up a little higher, and let more out until most of my torso was out of the water. Finally using whatever strength I had left was able to climb aboard.
I am actually pretty fit for a 52 year old although not extremely so. I don''t beleive that a non-physically fit person would have gotten out of the water that day and if the boat still had foward motion they would have lost me. The lesson for me is to get back quickly and get stopped.
Lastly if you think this is so easy, really practice an unexpected rescue. I have a MOB practice device that I use on board that consists of a bright yellow antifreeze bottle, with a spare drougue from a horseshoe flotation device and a polypropelene loop of rope to make retrieval easier. Several times a season, my wife or I will go below to use the head or grab something from the galley. While we''re below we will grab the MOB practice device and from down below throw it out the hatch and into the water, shouting ''Man Over Board''. It is stunning how hard it is to get back to the MOB and get stopped when this happens unexpectedly. I am always surprised at how far the boat travels in the time it takes to swing the wheel and start back. We have actually lost sight of the bottle on several occasions ding gusty/choppy conditions. Usually it takes two or three passes the first time this occurs during a season.
(By the way on your ''steer into the skid'' comment. Most people who are not experienced drivers intuitively try to turn into the turn because the feel like the car is failing to turn when it starts to skid. Steering into the skid is actually counter-intuitive for most new drivers. It is only after you have driven for a while that ''steer into the skid'' becomes second nature.)
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Regarding MOB techniques, I believe you are correct that the sails don''t have to be perfectly trimmed at all times while returning to the MOB, but just ignoring them is a recipe for disaster on may boats in many conditions.
Accidentally jibing a large main can damage the rig, not to mention hurting those left aboard. And since the sails provide the power, you need to have your boat''s heading relative to the wind and sail trim in coordination. You may need to add a little power when you need to make way toward the MOB and then luff the sails so you can glide to the proper stopping point.
In practicing aboard a 38 foot sloop with several other students, I witnessed quite a few early attempts where the boat sailed on by the MOB because the sail suddenly powered up when the helm was turned toward the victim. It wasn''t possible to luff the sails because the they weren''t trimmed properly for the course we were on.
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
I''m kind of new to this game but, I don''t understand why it takes so long and is such an elaborate proceedure to go back. Last summer I dropped a floating winch handle overboard. I was by myself on a Mac 26d the wind was maybe 15. I was able to go around and around trying to pick it up with no problems. I can''t remember if the jib was up or not, but I just pretty much ignored the sails, I steered and they took care of themselves. Of coarse they weren''t trimmed right on all of the different courses I steered, but they kept me moving. I must have made 20 passes on the handle before it drifted into too shallow water to follow. I don''t understand why folks make it so complicated?
Could it be something like the old defensive driving courses that when you go into a skid, told you to "steer in the direction of the skid" or something like that which you could never remember, especially while you were sliding down the highway. The instinctive thing to do when you start to slide also happens to be the right thing and so the course only confused people and caused them to freeze up instead of reacting.
What''''s wrong with the MOB Poll?
Good idea. Have a couple of hot toddies and THEN go back for Denr. Works for me.
To answer your original post, this poll question is not one of Sam''s best efforts. But it does give us something to think about on an icy day.

Two Years On continues on Arsenal.com today as we pick out our game of the season at Emirates Stadium. Subscribers can re-live the best of the action on Arsenal TV Online now.
Emirates Stadium played host to some pulsating matches last season but it's hard to match the visit of Manchester United for tension, excitement and late, late drama.
Arsenal were sitting pretty on top of the Premier League when their old rivals arrived in North London in November but there were plenty of question marks over the Gunners' title pretensions. Sure, they had pegged back Liverpool at Anfield six days earlier but how would they cope against the champions?
Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth, Derby, Sunderland and Bolton had already been seen off in the Premier League at Emirates but United, in rampant form after 16 goals in four games, would provide the sternest test of all. So it proved.
Arsenal had the better of the opening exchanges but decent chances were at a premium as caution reigned early on. Nine minutes before the break, Arsenal should have gone ahead but Edwin van der Sar saved with his legs when William Gallas met Cesc Fabregas' free-kick with a firm downward header at the near post. United were reprieved and, just before half-time, they took the lead as Wayne Rooney's poor connection from Ronaldo's low cross flicked off Gallas and beat Almunia.
Arsenal responded three minutes after the break. Emmanuel Eboue clipped a lofted pass over the visitors' defence and Van der Sar rushed out to smother Adebayor's goalbound shot. The ball bounced out towards the byline and, as the United defence stood static, Bacary Sagna hooked the ball back to Fabregas. He kept his cool to find the bottom corner.
For the rest of the second half the pace was unrelenting. Alex Hleb and Tomas Rosicky went close, Arsenal had a penalty appeal rejected and Clichy cleared desperately from Patrice Evra's low cross. Then, with eight minutes left, United struck. Evra galloped down the left to collect Louis Saha's pass, Almunia rushed out but the French left-back pulled the ball back for Ronaldo to convert from close range.
Arsenal threw everything forward in search of another equaliser. With seconds left of stoppage time, they launched one final attack. Theo Walcott miscued his shot but Gallas was on hand to slam a volley past Van der Sar, who tried to vain to keep the ball out. The Emirates erupted and, seconds later, the final whistle confirmed that Arsenal would stay top of the table. It was a breathless, buoyant end to the game and it proved that Arsène Wenger's young side were ready to fight for the title.
Subscribers can now watch highlights of this game on Arsenal TV Online.

Green Bay in the Hunt at League Championships
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Senior Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) made 14 pars in a consistent first round as the Green Bay men's golf team sits in fourth place but just five strokes behind after the first 18 holes at the 2013 Horizon League Championships held at the par-72, 6,770-yard El Campeon Course at Mission Inn Resort Club and Resort.
Green Bay fired a 16-over par 304 as a team to trail Loyola (299), Cleveland State (300) and Valparaiso (301) heading into Saturday's second round of the 54-hole event. Leader Andrew Bailey (70) of Cleveland State was the only player under to par on Friday. To follow the action on Saturday and Sunday with live scoring, click here.
Fuller played the final six holes in 1-under par, and a 2-over par 74 left him in a tie for fourth place after round one. Fellow senior Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.), the defending Horizon League champion, led for much of the back nine on Friday but suffered a couple of hiccups late to stand in a tie for ninth place with a 4-over 76. Ebert had a team-best four birdies.
Freshman Gene Kiela (Plymouth, Wis.) was 7-over with three double bogeys after 15 holes before carding birdies on 16 and 17 to finish at 5-over 77. Junior Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) closed both the front and back nines with birdies and matched Kiela with a 77 that left both players tied for 13th. Sophomore Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) rounded out the Phoenix golfers with an 81 on Friday.
Team Scores

NetScouts USA All-Star Team Faces Tough Challenges in Anyuan
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
ANYUAN, China. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After sweeping the first leg of the three-city, nine-game tournament, the NetScouts Team USA All-Star women's basketball team left the tournament's second city, Anyuan, with a 1-2 record. The team, featuring former Green Bay standouts Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) and Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.), opened with a loss to Australia before a dominating win over Brazil. The Americans were then defeated by China in the final game. All four teams have now moved to Dong Xiang, China for the final leg of the 15-day tour.
Game 1: Australia 59, USA 49
Team USA was dealt the first loss of its Chinese tour in a 59-49 defeat against Australia. The Aussies outscored Team USA 22-13 in the third quarter and were able to hold on to secure the 10-point victory.
Ritchie scored two points and grabbed two rebounds with an assist and a steal, while Sension pulled down a team-high six rebounds.
Game 2: USA 85, Brazil 47
The red, white and blue rebounded from its first loss with a productive outing against Brazil in what head coach Chris Denker called "the best game of the tour."
Team USA held Brazil to just 28 percent shooting while four Americans scored in double figures. Ritchie and Sension each scored eight points in the win with Ritchie adding four assists and a block, while Sension grabbed eight rebounds and two steals.
"I'm really happy for the players, they have been struggling and it sure is nice to see the ball go in the basket," Denker said. "Everybody chipped in and gave us positive minutes, this was a team effort."
Game 3: China 66, USA 53
The Chinese team bested Team USA 66-53 in the final game of the Anyuan leg of the tournament. The loss evened the Chinese and Americans both to 4-2 through six games.
Team USA shot just 20 percent from the floor in the first half and trailed by six at the break before an aggressive start to the second half. The Yanks pulled within five, but a 31 percent effort from the floor in the game didn't match up with China's 52 percent day from the field.
Ritchie chipped in six points and three rebounds while Sension grabbed six board and added three assists and two blocks.
The NetScouts Team USA All-Star Team is now in Dong Xiang for the final leg of the tournament, which wraps up on May 15.

text: I bought a new truck last November, got a great price on the truck but since I'm a cheap SOB I still complained about some of the options included. So after all was said and done they knocked a little off the price, I think they would've done that anyways without my whining. The options I didnt want were Power Drivers Seat, Blue Tooth, Steering Wheel radio controls, and adjustable pedals. From my understanding these options are on almost every C/C LT Silverado and it's easier to find a truck with them than without. After owning the truck for 6 months my wife made an observation that the options I whined the most about paying for are the items I seem to get the most use out of, sadly she's right. I drove my Tacoma last week and kept thinking to myself how did I ever get along in this primitive truck? Anyone else complain about paying for the extra's only to find out they now cant live without them?
