CAROLINA IN THE ACC TOURNAMENT: North Carolina has an all-time record of 18-17 in ACC Tournament games dating to the initial conference tournament in 1989. Carolina has won the conference tournament seven times but not since 1996. The Tar Heels' championships came in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1996.
Between 1997 and 2008, the Tar Heels lost 12 successive ACC Tournament semifinal games.
In Coach Joe Breschi's four years as head coach (2009-12), Carolina is 3-4 in ACC Tournament games. Breschi's Tar Heels beat Maryland 16-10 in the 2009 semifinals at Kenan Stadium before falling to Duke 15-13 in the championship game. UNC lost semifinal games to Maryland in both 2010 and 2011. Last year in Charlottesville, Carolina defeated Virginia 11-9 in the semifinals before falling to Duke 12-9 in the championship contest.
This marks UNC's third appearance in the championship game of the tournament in Coach Breschi's five years as head coach.

LAST TIME OUT FOR THE TAR HEELS: Marcus Holman scored the game-winning goal with 1:28 to play and Kieran Burke saved David Lawson's shot with six seconds remaining as third-ranked North Carolina defeated sixth-ranked Duke 18-17 on April 26 in the ACC Tournament semifinals at Kenan Stadium. A crowd of 4,567 fans witnessed the highest-scoring game in ACC Tournament history as the two teams combined for 35 goals, exceeding the previous record of 33 goals set in a double overtime semifinal game in the 2000 tournament when Virginia beat the Tar Heels 17-16.
Holman's late heroics overcame a monumental comeback effort by the Blue Devils (11-5), who had won nine straight games coming into the contest. UNC led Duke by as many nine goals early in the third quarter before the Blue Devils scored 11 of the next 12 goals to take the lead with less than seven minutes to play. North Carolina (11-3) scored the last two goals of the game to pull out the victory and win its eighth successive game. Carolina achieved its nine-goal margin at 15-6 with 11:31 left in the third quarter before Duke ran off eight straight goals and 11 of the next 12 tallies to take its first lead of the game with 6:12 to play. But Jimmy Bitter tied the match with 5:01 to play and Holman, who was named Friday as a Tewaaraton Trophy nominee, scored the game-winner off Chad Tutton's assist with 1:28 to play.
Duke had an extra-man opportunity at the end of the game and a chance to tie but Kieran Burke made a save on a point-blank shot by David Lawson with six seconds remaining and the ball bounced out of bounds before either team could gain possession as the clock expired.
Holman led the Tar Heels with four goals and two assists while Chad Tutton had a career-high four goals as well as an assist. Jimmy Bitter had three goals and an assist for the Tar Heels while Joey Sankey had two goals and two assists.
MOST GOALS AGAINST A TOP 10 TEAM IN 17 YEARS: Carolina's 18 goals against Duke in the ACC semifinals were the most it has scored against a Top 10-ranked team since April 6, 1996 when the Tar Heels beat #1-ranked Virginia 19-18 at Fetzer Field.
HOLMAN UPDATE #1: With his performance against Duke, Marcus Holman inched closer to setting Carolina career records for most points and most goals in a career. The senior attackman now has 202 career points, just two short of Bruce Ledwith's school record of 204 from 1970-73. His four goals give him 120 for his career, eight shy of the school record of 128 scored by Bert Fett from 1972-75. His two assists give him 82 for his career and he is tied with Dennis Goldstein for fourth place in Carolina history in that category and is just one assist behind Brendan Carey's third-place total of 83 assists.
MORE SUPERLATIVES FROM FRIDAY: Holman's 69 points are the fifth most in a single season in school history as are his 33 assists.
THREE HAT TRICKS VERSUS DUKE: Three players had hat tricks Friday with Holman recording the 17 of his career, Bitter his seventh and Tutton his sixth. Tutton's four goals were a career high as were his five points.
KEEP THOSE STREAKS GOING: Holman extended his school record streak of consecutive games with a goal to 29 in a row after scoring four times against Duke. Jimmy Bitter recorded a point for the 24th straight game versus the Blue Devils and Joey Sankey now has a streak of 18 consecutive games with a point. Tutton has scored goals in 24 of the past 25 matches.
WINNING ANOTHER CLOSE ONE: Carolina improved to 14-9 in one-goal games in Coach Breschi's five seasons with the 18-17 win over Duke. That includes a 4-2 mark this season. It was only the second one-goal game between the two teams over the past 18 meetings, the other being a 12-11 win by Duke in the 2009 NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. Carolina's last one-goal win over Duke came in 2004, a 10-9 overtime triumph in Durham.
SECOND HIGHEST SCORING DUKE-UNC GAME OF ALL-TIME: The only Duke-Carolina game in which more than 35 goals have been came on April 21, 1990 when UNC beat Duke 26-13 at Kenan Stadium.
THIS WEEK'S RANKINGS: North Carolina is ranked third this week in the Nike Inside Lacrosse media poll and first in the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association coaches' poll. The last time the Tar Heels were ranked #1 in the nation in any week in either poll was May 10, 1993 when they earned the top spot in the USILA coaches' poll.
SECOND-LONGEST WINNING STREAK IN 20 YEARS: North Carolina has won eight successive games heading into Sunday's ACC Tournament championship game against Virginia. That is the second longest winning streak for UNC since 1993. UNC won nine straight games to open the 1993 season en route to a 14-2 record and an NCAA runner-up finish (the last time UNC made the Final Four). The longest winning streak since that time came in 2010 when the Tar Heels opened the season with 10 straight wins en route to a final record of 13-3 and an NCAA Tournament quarterfinal appearance.
THE UPDATED HOLMAN NUMBERS: Marcus Holman's six points versus Duke on Friday now gives him 202 for his career. Holman needs two more points to equal Bruce Ledwith (1970-73) on the career points chart. Ledwith holds the current school record with 204 career points. Holman's four goals versus High Point give him 120 career goals and place him in second place on the all-time Carolina goals list. Only Bert Fett (1972-75) has scored more goals in Carolina history with 128.
HOLMAN & SANKEY NAMED ALL-ACC TEAM: Marcus Holman and Joey Sankey were named April 24 to the 2013 All-ACC Men's Lacrosse Team. Holman was named to the team for the second straight year while it is the first selection for Sankey. Holman was the ACC Freshman of the Year in 2010.
SOPHOMORE DUO CLIMBING CAREER GOAL & POINT CHARTS: Joey Sankey now has 56 career goals and Jimmy Bitter has recorded 54 career tallies. With two goals against Virginia on April 6, Sankey became the 50th player in UNC history to hit the 50-goal plateau. Bitter became the 51st Tar Heel player to score 50 goals in his career when he scored two goals against High Point.
HOLMAN BREAKS UNC CONSECUTIVE GAME SCORING RECORD: Senior attackman Marcus Holman broke the school record for most consecutive game scoring a goal when he tallied twice against High Point on April 20. That ran his scoring streak to 28 successive games dating back to a game against Detroit on February 18, 2012. The previous school record was 27 consecutive matches set by Mac Ford from May 21, 1983 through May 19, 1985. He extended his treak to 29 games in a row in the ACC semifinals.
Jimmy Bitter has recorded at least one point in 24 successive games dating back to March 16, 2012. He has scored at least one goal in 22 of the past 24 games.
Joey Sankey has gone 18 successive games with at least one point, a streak dating back to April 20, 2012. During that scoring run, he has recorded goals in 17 of the past 18 games. Sankey has scored a goal in 14 successive games, a streak which started on February 8, 2013.
Over the last 25 matches dating back to the middle of the 2012 campaign, midfielder Chad Tutton has recorded at least one goal in 24 matches. The only time he was shut out in that streak was at Notre Dame on March 2 of this season.
UNC's CAREER HAT TRICKS: Marcus Holman leads all Tar Heels with 17 career hat tricks, the most recent in the ACC semifinals versus Duke. Other Tar Heels with multiple career hat tricks include Davey Emala with 12, Joey Sankey with eight, Jimmy Bitter with seven, Chad Tutton with six and Pat Foster with two.
KEENAN'S UPDATED FACEOFF NUMBERS: R.G. Keenan has now won 556 face-offs in his career heading into the game against Virginia. That is the second most face-off wins in UNC history. Shane Walterhoefer (2006-09) is the UNC career leader with 723 face-off victories.
Keenan has 301 career ground balls, the fifth most in UNC history.
CAROLINA IN ONE-GOAL GAMES: six of Carolina's first 14 games of the season have been decided by a single goal with UNC going 4-2 in those games. The most recent one-goal decision came against Duke in the ACC semifinals when the Tar Heels won 18-17. Prior to the game against Duke on March 13 (an 11-8 loss), Carolina played four successive games decided by a single goal with a loss to Massachusetts 12-11, a win over Fairfield 10-9, a triple overtime loss to Notre Dame 10-9 and the 16-15 win over Princeton. The last time that the Tar Heels had played four straight games decided by a single goal came in 2009 when during a mid-season streak Carolina lost to Maryland 8-7, beat Johns Hopkins 10-9 in overtime, lost to Virginia 11-10 and beat Ohio State 12-11. In 1996, Carolina played a string of five successive games decided by a single goal during a mid-season stretch. During that particular stretch, UNC lost to Duke 11-10, beat Maryland 17-16, lost to Johns Hopkins 9-8, beat Virginia 19-18 and beat Notre Dame 11-10.
ANOTHER DOUBLE DIGIT WIN SEASON UNDER COACH BRESCHI: Despite playing against one of the nation's toughest schedules, the Tar Heels have reached a double digit win total for the fifth successive year under the tutelage of head coach Joe Breschi, who was hired in June 2008. The Tar Heels head into the Virginia game Friday with an 11-3 mark. Breschi is the first head coach in UNC history to post double digit win totals in each of his first five years mentoring the Tar Heels. Other than Breschi, Dave Klarmann (1991-94) is the only other coach to win 10 or more games in each of his first four seasons. Under Breschi's leadership, UNC went 12-6 in 2009, 13-3 in 2010,10-6 in 2011, 11-6 in 2012 and 11-3 so far in 2013. Prior to 2009-13, the last time Carolina patched together five successive seasons with 10 or more wins was 1989-94 when the Tar Heels had at least double digits in wins six years in a row. Contrast the current success with the fact over a 12-year span from 1997-2008, Carolina got to the 10-win plateau only twice, going 10-5 in 2004 and 10-6 in 2007.
UNC VERSUS RANKED OPPONENTS UNDER COACH BRESCHI: North Carolina has played nationally-ranked opponents 52 times in Joe Breschi's five-year coaching tenure. UNC is 31-21 in those games. Conversely, the Tar Heels are 26-3 against unranked opponents in his five seasons. Breschi is 56-24 overall at Carolina in his five seasons as head coach. During Breschi's tenure, UNC's only losses to unranked teams came to Ohio State in 2011 and to Lehigh and Pennsylvania in 2012.
CAROLINA IN ONE-GOAL DECISIONS: Prior to Joe Breschi taking over as head coach in 2009, UNC went 1-7 in games decided by one goal from midway through the 2004 season through the end of the 2008 campaign. Carolina has improved tremendously in one-goal games since Breschi arrived for the 2009 season. UNC is 14-9 in games decided by one goal over the past five years. On March 30, Carolina defeated Johns Hopkins 11-10 in overtime. It was UNC's first overtime win in almost two years. Prior to beating Hopkins, Carolina's last overtime win came against Notre Dame 9-8 on May 6, 2011.
A YOUTHFUL STARTING LINEUP: During the first 14 games of the season, the Tar Heels have relied on a youthful set of players to compete against a host of nationally-ranked opponents. Particularly on the defensive end, the Tar Heels are playing a lot of young players.
Carolina's starting lineup over the second half of the season has included three seniors (Marcus Holman, Davey Emala, Kieran McDonald), one junior (Jordan Smith), three sophomores (Jimmy Bitter, Joey Sankey, Chad Tutton) and three freshmen (Steve Pontrello, Evan Connell, Kieran Burke).
The Tar Heels have been playing anywhere between 25 and 30 players on average in a game. The depth chart over the past several games has included four seniors, eight juniors, seven sophomores and seven freshmen.
Carolina has one of the youngest rosters in the nation with 57.8 percent of the team composed of freshmen and sophomores, including 33.3 percent of the squad size consisting of freshmen.
THE TAR HEELS VERSUS NATIONALLY RANKED TEAMS IN 2013: Ten of Carolina's first 14 games this season have come against Top 20 teams in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll. The Tar Heels are 7-3 in those 10 games.
HOLMAN ELECTED SINGLE CAPTAIN: Senior Marcus Holman was elected as the sole captain of the 2013 Tar Heels, the first time that has happened in 23 years. According to research done through Athletic Communications archives, other single captains have been Randy Roden in 1973, Tom Federico in 1991, Randy Cox in 1984, Paul Fitzpatrick in 1989 and Joe Breschi in 1990.
FIVE TAR HEELS WERE RECENTLY CHOSEN IN 2013 MLL DRAFTS: Senior Marcus Holman was chosen by the Ohio Machine on January 11 in the Collegiate Draft. He was a second round pick of the Ohio Machine and the 12th selection overall. On December 13, the MLL conducted its annual supplemental draft. Thomas Wood, '12, was taken in the second round by the Rochester Rattlers with the 12th overall pick. Tim Kaiser, '08, was chosen 25th overall in the fourth round by the Ohio Machine. Mark Staines, '12, was the 35th pick, nabbed in the fifth round by the Chesapeake Bayhawks. Chris Hunt, '11, was chosen 96th overall and in the 12th round by the Bayhawks.
FOUR TAR HEELS EARN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS: Four current and future Tar Heel players won gold medal rings at the U19 World Championships in Finland last July. Freshmen midfielders Brent Armstrong, Steve Pontrello and Michael Tagliaferri all played for the U.S. side and midfielder Stephen Kelly, who signed a National Letter of Intent with Carolina last November and will enroll in UNC next August, was also a member of the U.S. Team. Carolina sophomore midfielder Chad Tutton was a member of Team Canada, which captured the silver medal.
CAROLINA'S STELLAR MARK IN NON-CONFERENCE GAMES: UNC's record in non-conference games continues to be one of the best in the nation over the past eight seasons. The Tar Heels have won 68 of their past 79 games against non-conference teams dating back to April 15, 2006. In Joe Breschi's five seasons as head coach, the Tar Heels are 47-8 against non-conference teams. The only losses were to Notre Dame in 2009, to Ohio State and Johns Hopkins in 2011, to Lehigh, Pennsylvania and Denver in 2012 and to Massachusetts and Notre Dame in 2013.
CAROLINA'S DOUBLE DIGIT SCORING GAMES: In Coach Joe Breschi's five years as head lacrosse coach at UNC, Carolina's success has clearly been tied to hitting the 10-goal plateau in a game. In fact UNC's 12-11 loss to Massachusetts on February 16, marked only the eighth time in Breschi's coaching tenure that the Tar Heels have lost when they have reached the 10-goal plateau. UNC has scored at least 10 goals in a game in 58 of 81 games under Coach Breschi's direction dating back to the opening game of the 2009 season. Carolina is 50-8 in those 58 games, losing only 11-10 to Virginia on April 4, 2009, 15-13 to Duke on April 26, 2009, 12-11 to Duke on May 17, 2009, 11-10 to Virginia on April 9, 2011, 13-11 to Duke on March 16, 2012, 15-10 to Virginia on April 7, 2012, 16-14 to Denver on May 12, 2012 and 12-11 to Massachusetts on February 16, 2013. In the 23 games under Coach Breschi's tutelage in which the Tar Heels have not reached the 10-goal mark, UNC has not fared nearly as well as when scoring in double figures. In fact their record in those 23 games is just 7-16.
NEAR DOMINANCE AT HOME UNDER BRESCHI: UNC is 34-7 in home games in Coach Joe Breschi's five years at the helm of the Tar Heels. That's a winning percentage of 82.9 percent. UNC's only home losses during Breschi's four-year tenure include regular-season and ACC Tournament games to Duke in 2009 (both at Kenan Stadium), a regular-season loss to Duke in 2011, an NCAA Tournament loss to Maryland in 2011, regular-season losses to Lehigh and Virginia and an NCAA Tournament loss to Denver in 2012 and a regular-season loss to Duke in 2013.
HEAD COACH JOE BRESCHI: Joe Breschi is now in his fifth season as the head coach at his alma mater. His Tar Heel teams have a cumulative record of 57-24 for a winning percentage of 70.3 percent. He is in his 16th year overall as a collegiate head coach, including 11 seasons at Ohio State prior to coming to Chapel Hill. His career coaching record is 149-87 and his career winning percentage is 63.1 percent.
CAROLINA SNARES 250TH ALL-TIME WIN HOME VICTORY: Carolina's 11-10 win over Maryland on March 24, 2012 marked the 250th all-time win for the Tar Heels in home games. North Carolina will head into its next home game against Duke on April 26 with an all-time record of 259-119-2 in home games. UNC has a 68.3 winning percentage all-time in history in home games.
THE ALL-TIME RECORD: North Carolina has an all-time record of 442-272-2 in the sport of men's lacrosse. That is a winning percentage of .618.

Baker impressed with Draft payoff
Baker impressed with Draft payoff
WASHINGTON -- The latest Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft will be held Monday and manager Dusty Baker was asked before Saturday's game if he has seen the organization improve in the Draft.
"Heck yeah," Baker said. "I've only been here a short period of time. It usually takes three to five years to reap the harvest of Drafts. Some of this is [general manager Walt Jocketty's] Drafts, and some of this is [former general manager] Wayne Krivsky's Drafts. You have to give both of them credit."

I arrived at the beautiful Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville.
ConAgra was a big sponsor and they kept us snacking and did a couple yummy meals for us. Along with Blue Bunny and their addictive ice cream cones (that I may or may not have eaten 5 of), I am pretty positive I gained a few pounds.

More teachers green in the classroom
WASHINGTON – With three years of teaching under her belt, Allison Frieze nearly qualifies as a grizzled veteran. The 28-year-old special education teacher at E.L. Haynes Public Charter School here already has more experience than the typical U.S. teacher.
She remembers her first year and says no new teacher really wants to relive that. "You have so many pressures on you and you're kind of swimming, trying to keep your head above water with all of the things you have to do," Frieze says.
Research suggests that parents this fall are more likely than ever to find that their child's teachers are relatively new to the profession, and possibly very young.
Recent findings by Richard Ingersoll at the University of Pennsylvania show that as teacher attrition rates have risen, from about 10% to 13% for first-year teachers, schools are having to hire large numbers of new teachers. Between 40% to 50% of those entering the profession now leave within five years in what Ingersoll calls a "constant replenishment of beginners."
The end result: a more than threefold increase in the sheer number of inexperienced teachers in U.S. schools. In the 1987-88 school year, Ingersoll estimates, there were about 65,000 first-year teachers; by 2007-08, the number had grown to more than 200,000. In the 1987-88 school year, he found, the biggest group of teachers had 15 years of experience. By the 2007-08 school year, the most recent data available, the biggest group of teachers had one year experience.
What should parents expect from these new teachers, and how should they interact?

For one thing, get used to communicating online with them, says Susan Fuhrman, president of Columbia University's Teachers College.
"They're going to be much better at technology," she says. "They're going to have grown up digital natives," drawn to technology and less afraid of it than their parents' generation. They're also more likely to see the possibilities in emerging software such as games, simulations and classroom management software.
The growth of publicly funded, but privately run charter schools such as Haynes, where Frieze now works, means that more young teachers view parents as consumers and likely won't be put off by probing questions, says Tim Daly of TNTP, formerly known as The New Teacher Project, a New York-based non-profit that provides teachers to schools nationwide. Daly notes that today's 22-year-old teacher was 11 when the federal No Child Left Behind law was born. It mandated annual testing in reading and mathematics nationwide. "These people came of age in an era when teachers were beginning to be held accountable for outcomes," he says.
Fuhrman, who acknowledges the excesses of too much test prep, actually thinks this may be a good thing with new teachers. "They're very used to standardized testing," she says. "They've grown up with it in some way. Maybe that's healthy, in that they would be less obsessed with it."
Heather Peske of Teach Plus, a Boston-based non-profit that works to improve teacher quality in six cities, says parents should ask new teachers to explain the tests they're using. Parents shouldn't just settle for cursory descriptions either. Instead, she says, ask, "What do those enormous acronym mean? What is DIBELS (a reading test)? Explain those to me and explain to me where my child falls relative to other kids in the class."
Most students have their reading skills tested early in the school year. "As a parent, I would want to see the assessment and I would want to see the results of the assessment," Peske says. "And I would want the teacher to help translate for me what that means for my child." Even new teachers should also have a plan to improve kids' learning.
Jessica Stefon, a fourth-year teacher at Stanton Elementary School, also in the District of Columbia, says she makes it a priority to keep parents in the loop because it's essential for a student's success. "You're a collective unit boosting that child up," she says.
Peske says the so-called greening of the profession doesn't necessarily mean that families will find "fresh-faced 23-year-olds in every classroom." Like Stefon, who's 30, many new teachers are career-changers who have experienced functional workplaces. These teachers will expect adequate materials, for one thing, and the chance to collaborate with co-workers. "I do think that's good for the profession," Peske says.
But parents shouldn't be surprised if young teachers soon leave the classroom for better paying jobs. With teachers moving around more, parents should also ask how the school keeps their replacements current on student progress.
"If there's not stability in the (teaching) force, what is the stability of the information about my child?" Peske says. "If the kindergarten teacher leaves after two years, how do I know the second-grade teacher is not going to replicate the same topic?"
Frieze, who's also earning her master's degree, says she has questions of her own each fall. She likes to find out as much about her students as possible: Who lives with the child? What does he or she do after school? What's the family routine? She looks for "red-flag concerns" such as whether a student needs help getting to school on time. "It's helpful to know all those things up front," she says. "Finding it out as you go along kind of makes things difficult."
After only three years, Frieze has become more comfortable in the classroom. "Things come more naturally — you just become more efficient and it isn't as emotionally taxing," she says, then reconsidered. "It still is, but it isn't as overwhelming."

Monday, November 28
The crowd's reaction is usually a good sign as to the effort shown in any given match and the support never waned on Saturday evening, even after we went a goal behind. It certainly confirmed, if nothing else, that we gave everything in a bid to take all three points.
Fulham at home, however, without being disrespectful, is a fixture you will always be looking to win if you are challenging at the higher end of the table. For that reason alone it has to be considered as two points dropped.
Don't get me wrong, our visitors had their share of opportunities and played very well but with Mark Schwarzer having yet another blinder against us it always looked like it could be one of 'those' days. I've certainly seen us play a lot worse and come away with a victory.
Even after Tommy's unfortunate OG we kept going and after he evened things up with his header at the right end there was only one team that looked like possibly taking the maximum points haul from the game.
It simply wasn't to be and overall we couldn't help but feel a tad disappointed heading home, probably for more than anything our run in recent weeks has been extremely impressive.
A Carling Cup Quarter-Final next then, something we have become almost accustomed to in recent times and on this occasion we entertain high-flying Man City.
City's gargantuan spending power these days means that whoever they put out tomorrow night we know will give us an extremely tough game.
It is a challenge every player in the red and white is relishing I'm sure and all in all it makes for an interesting encounter.

Child Labor: Youth Minimum Wage
Authored By: U.S. Department of Labor
People under 20 years of age are not guaranteed a federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Special rules allow employers to pay employees under 20 years old a lower rate of $4.25 for their first 90 days at the job. Click this link to learn more about the special rules that apply to persons under 20 such as what wage applies when the person turns 20 during his first 90 days of work, whether this lower pay can influence employers to prefer to hire cheaper labor by hiring people under 20, and related discrimination and wage laws.

Has anyone used the Calv Arms CAV-15 MKII lower receiver? It is a glass-filled nylon 6 polmyer receiver that has the stock (A2 design) and pistol grip attached. Fully compatable with MIL-SPEC parts. It retails from Brownells for $150.00, but needs lower parts kit and buffer and spring.
I would not use it with any upper over .223, but seems like it would make a cheap truck gun.

Recent 3D Tournament at Monument Beach Sportsmans Club, Bourne, Mass.
Monument Beach recently held back to back 3D tournaments Feb 4 & 5 at its club property in Bourne, Massachusetts. We hosted over 100 participants during the 2 days. We welcome feedback from our guest archers on their experience, how we might improve the tournament, facilities etc. Our next 3D tournaments will be held March 25 & 25. We may have a large quantity of surplus McKenzie 3D targets for sale (short money folks) that have been replaced with new Rineharts. Looking forward to more good weather here in the North East and guest archers from around the country.

Hello TDH members. I am Sahirate, a member of the Mandalorian Mercs, and I thought I'd jump on over here and help any femmandos out as well as get some other feedback on what I could improve upon with my set. I'm going to start from the beginning to show everyone the process I used.

Armor Molded:
I can't find the pictures of when I filled in the darts. From the molding to the silver finish I filled the darts in with Epoxy putty. After that I put a fine layer of bondo over it to smooth out where the darts were. After I did this I came out with:
I added battle damage using Mustard as my masking fluid while putting on the gray and blue coloring. I used charcoal as a "darkening agent" around the damage to give it a scorched look. After my first troop I added the chain to the cod piece to give it a more feminine look and to prevent a "floating" piece of armor:
My gaunts are cheaply made but the paint job makes them look decent. I'm going to be remaking them or buying more when I get the funds to later on so for now they will suffice:

There will be drawings, photographs, and films. The films and photos will cover Wesley's music as well as his visual art. The idea is to show many of Wesley's creations.
June 17th will be the opening of the exhibition as well as a Tribute concert with some 15 bands that will cover Wesley's songs. More information available on the Mad Musee website.
More subtle than previous censorship efforts, the PTC calls for economic boycotts- er, scheduling restrictions, extending the FCC to cover basic cable- instead of basic government censorship. The PTC still relies on false information that blames teen sex and violence on television, not on biology. It refuses to call on parents to protect their own children, instead of demanding that adults sacrifice their artistic choices.
Please check out their website and tell 'em what you think about the censorious underpinnings of their initiatives! Their 800 number is 800-882-6868 feel free to call them on their dime.
There will be a potluck at 4pm, followed by bands from 6-9pm, and a movie at 10pm. It all happens at Station 40, 3030 B 16th Street (@ Mission), San Francisco. $5 all ages!
The result is 6 new ferocious songs, charged with overdrive and distortion, that have snaked and swaggered directly from the black heart of rock and roll. Recording sessions at Studio 880 (Oakland) with Marco Martin and Louder Studios (San Francisco) with Tim Green, are tentatively scheduled for the upcoming months.
In the meantime, The Sermon will be performing in San Francisco and in the Pacific Northwest during the summer as well as Los Angeles in the fall.

"When intellectuals attack: A forthcoming UC Press book has come under fire from Harvard Law School professor and O.J. Simpson murder-trial defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, who claims that De Paul political-theory professor Norman Finkelstein's 'Beyond Chutzpah' -- billed as "an exposé of the corruption of scholarship on the Israel-Palestine conflict"-- includes misinformation and defamation, some of it involving Dershowitz himself.
A sequel to 2004's 'The Holocaust Industry', Finkelstein's latest book, whose main section is titled "The Greatest Fraud Ever Sold," was originally set for publication by the New Press in New York. After Dershowitz wrote to the New Press leveling his charges, Finkelstein switched to UC. Now, with the help of a law firm, Dershowitz has leveled the same charges in missives to Arnold Schwarzenegger and UC. The book's publication date has been delayed. Enmity between the two profs is ongoing: After the release of Dershowitz' 2003 book 'The Case for Israel', Finkelstein accused him of having plagiarized a third writer's work. Moreover, he devotes a section of his personal Web site to what he calls "The Dershowitz Hoax."

"Conservative group forms alliance, urges Bush, Congress to modify sections of the anti-terrorism law
Conservative libertarians launched a campaign yesterday to persuade President George W. Bush and Congress to fix the sections of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act that they say intrude on privacy and harm civil liberties.
Long wary of the act's enhanced police powers, the conservatives announced they had formed the organization Patriots for Checks and Balances with the liberal American Civil Liberties Union in time for hearings in the Republican-controlled Congress next month on whether it should renew 16 Patriot Act provisions that expire at year's end. At a news conference yesterday, ACLU Washington director Laura Murphy underscored the importance of raising the profile in the debate of such prominent conservatives as Grover Norquist of Taxpayers United, David Keene of the American Conservative Union and Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation...
Bob Barr, the group's chair and a former Republican representative from Georgia who voted for the act in 2001, said the sunsetting of the provisions and the hearings in the House and Senate provide a "unique opportunity" to add checks and balances to the act. In a letter sent to the president yesterday, Barr and his group asked Bush "to reconsider your unqualified support" for three specific provisions, only one of which is set to expire without reauthorization.
Those are the so-called "sneak-and-peek" Section 213, which allows agents to enter a place without first notifying the owner; Section 215, which permits agents to get business and library records more easily; and Section 802, which broadly defines terrorists and terrorism. Section 215 is due to expire at the end of the year..."

It is probably difficult to find a place in southern France that is not comfortable or agreeable, but Gers and the communities there are definitely known to be just that. The traveler who steps outside a discount hotel in Gers will find an agricultural region that produces some good wine. This particular industry was established centuries ago for the purpose of sending wine home with the occupiers Romans and then English. Close to the desirable destination of the Pyrenees, Gers has geography of rolling hills interspersed by flat valleys. The primary products, aside from grapes and wine, are grain crops and cattle. Those who have settled into a hotel in Gers can get a close-up view of the ducks and geese that are the foundation for preserves, pate and foie gras that the region is known for. As is the case with many provinces and departments in France, Gers gets its name from the river Gers. It is one of the original departments dating from 1790 and the French Revolution.

I've tried many different flavors of their cheesecakes, but my favorite are the Caramel Turtle, and the Tiramisu.
I really enjoy comming to this place , the food is always really good , I do wish there service was a little better and quicker other then that I have no complaints about them.
I absolutely love the classic and the red velvet, but you really can't go wrong.
They can be a little pricey, but the food it well worth it and you will be taking leftovers home.

Zesty Mustard Chicken RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 1 2
Whether you're grilling a broiler chicken or chicken breasts, consider this lip-smacking glaze. There are only four ingredients in the honey-mustard sauce, so you can whip it up in minutes.—Michael Everidge, Morristown, Tennessee
Recommended: Game-Changing Chicken Wing Recipes
- 1/2 cup prepared mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon salt-free seasoning blend
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 pounds), cut in half
- In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken; spoon some of the mustard sauce under the skin.
- Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place chicken skin side up over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 20 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting occasionally with remaining mustard sauce. Remove chicken skin; cut into serving-size pieces. Yield: 6 servings.

Lannan's gutsy debut gives Nats nightcap win
Lannan's gutsy debut gives Nats nightcap win
In front of a sold-out crowd of 40,047 fans, Lannan joined the Nats after spending the season to date in Triple-A Syracuse. He pitched a solid seven innings, allowing just the two runs on five hits. Lannan also struck out three Braves while walking two on 98 pitches. The win is Lannan's first since September 21, 2011.
"I'm so happy for him, such a great competitor, such a great guy," manager Davey Johnson said. "He pitched lights-out. He had a rough start, but he was as close to unhittable after that as you can get."
The win pushes the Nats' National League East lead over the Braves back to 2 1/2 games, calming a groundswell of nerves after dropping the first two games of the four-game series and three straight. Earlier in the day, the Braves rode a spectacular outing from Ben Sheets to a 4-0 win.
"We played well today and got off to a good start with a two-run lead in the second game and then just stopped," said Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, who hit a pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning of Game 1.
Atlanta pounced quickly on Lannan in the first inning. With two outs, Jason Heyward walked and then scored on a double by Jones, who started at third base and went 1-for-3 in the nightcap. Jones came home when Freddie Freeman ripped a single to right, giving the Braves a 2-0 lead.
But after that first frame, Lannan retired 18 of the next 22 hitters he faced to hold the Braves at those two runs for the remainder of his outing.
"I had nothing to lose tonight, it was a win-win for me," Lannan said. "I had this opportunity to come up here and help the team win. I just went out there and had that mentality."
The Nationals managed only three hits through four innings, but their bats came alive in the fifth. A Danny Espinosa walk and Sandy Leon single put runners on first and second with one out, and Lannan came to the plate already having notched a single in the third. Lannan laid down a textbook sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third. A wild pitch from Braves starter Randall Delgado scored Espinosa on the next play. Delgado earned a no-decision through six innings of two-run, six-hit ball.
With Bryce Harper held out of the nightcap's starting lineup after fouling a ball off his left ankle in the first game, Roger Bernadina stepped in at center field. Batting in Harper's No. 2 spot in the order, Bernadina was 5-for-7 on the day, including 3-for-4 in Game 2 with a run scored. In the seventh inning, he delivered one of Washington's most important hits of the year with a two-out single off Braves reliever Cristhian Martinez, scoring Leon from second base and giving the Nationals the 3-2 lead.
Harper entered the game as a pinch-hitter for reliever Sean Burnett in the eighth, knocking a single to left field, stealing second base and then scoring on Espinosa's single. Espinosa later scored on a throwing error by Braves shortstop Paul Janish.
"It's definitely big," Bernadina said. "I tried to get on base to help the team, and things turned out well for me. It's good we got the W."
In the ninth, the Nats found another source of relief when Tyler Clippard picked up his 16th save of the season. Clippard allowed only a walk to David Ross, recovering from two blown saves in his last three attempts.
"I felt like myself again, able to locate my fastball good and throw some good changeups," Clippard said. "It felt good. It felt good to get one out of the way."
Mostly, though, the night belonged to Lannan. After leading the Nats with 10 wins in 2011 and taking the mound as the Opening Day starter in both 2009 and '10, Lannan was forced into an entirely different role this season. With the team eager to give hard-throwing left-hander Ross Detwiler an expanded role, Lannan requested a trade shortly before Opening Day 2012 after it became apparent that he would not make the big league roster.
But with the team's ace, Stephen Strasburg, pitching under an innings limit this season, the Nats need another pitcher on tap once their ace is shut down, potentially in the heart of a pennant race.
"Every game means something, but right now we're in the battle for the [National League] East," Lannan said. "I just want to go out there and do my job."
Since he was activated as the 26th man on the roster, a rule allowed for doubleheaders, Lannan was optioned back down to Syracuse following the game.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Is anyone planning on trying the 24 Hour Zine Challenge during the month of July? It's less than a week away, and I haven't seen any chatter about it on here as of yet.
I did it last year and was very pleased with the results! And, it really is a creative rush, especially those final few hours. So I might just do it again!
Views: 97
I'm participating! I've participated in 24-hour comic day in the past and have actually made zines in 24 hours but never officially in July. Looking forward to it!
Doreen, I'm winging it. ;)
I'm so in. Although I'm having a HELL of a time reigning in my brain from thinking about what I'll end up doing the zine on. I'm sure other folks are dealing with this. How does everyone shut their brain off as to possible topics?
I think I would be interested in participating this year. Do you know what day it supposed to occur?

I was wondering if 'by' is the only prepositions used when you want to say e.g.: "I was driving by car for two hours yesterday. "
Is it possible to say also "with car"?
Thanks for the reply!

IxDA NYC Presents: 6 Ways Ecosystems have Changed Our Roles and the Way We Work
Wednesday, February 20, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM (EST)
Event Details
6 Ways Ecosystems have Changed Our Roles and the Way We Work
In a mobile, networked world changes in behavior and expectations have completely disrupted how companies do business. The smart companies no longer just "sell product" --- they build ecosystems of genuine value, comprised of dynamic, interconnected touch points that stoke customer interests and support their needs. Customer experience becomes an essential business strategy, marketing evolves past persuasion into value, digital technology and data become more essential and more complex. In the midst of this shift, where lagging businesses struggle to follow suit, our role as UX professionals is evolving and forcing us to work differently.
Drawing from experience with multi-channel ecosystems at R/GA, this presentation will explore six ways in which this emerging shift is changing our roles and the way we work. From building strategies to how we collaborate and manage complexity, her hope is that you'll walk away from this presentation armed with some practical insight that will help your team prepare for the advent of these challenges.

- How to Read a Study Record
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a procedure which involves passing a pencil-thin tube into the lung in order to collect fluid and cells from the airways. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy can collect cells from the walls of airways by gently brushing them (bronchial brushing). In addition, squirting small amounts of sterile water in to the airway and gently suctioning it back into the bronchoscope (bronchoalveolar lavage) collects cells.
In this study, researchers plan to perform these tests on patients with asthma and normal volunteers. This research may help to improve the understanding of the processes involved in airway inflammation and asthma.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Control
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Asthma Sample Collection Protocol
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 30, 1999
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Patients will be between 18 and 75 years of age, male or female.
The diagnosis of asthma requires a history of intermittent, reversible expiratory flow limitation.
In addition, patients will have either an abnormal methacholine challenge or evidence of ongoing reversible airway obstruction. An abnormal methacholine challenge will be defined as a decrease in FEV(1) of at least 20% following inhalation of less than or equal to 4 mg/ml of methacholine. Ongoing reversible airway obstruction will be defined as an improvement of at least 12% and 200 cc in either the FEV(1) or FVC folowing bronchodilator treatment.
For women of childbearing potential, negative pregnancy test prior to study and willingness to adhere to reliable birth control methods during the study.
Diagnosis of a pulmonary disorder other than asthma (e.g., chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, HIV-related lymphocytic airway inflammation).
Respiratory tract infection or asthma exacerbation within 4 weeks of screening.
History of adverse reactions to lidocaine or other local anesthetics.
Allergy to methacholine.
Use of aspirin within 2 weeks of the bronchoscopic study or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents within 2 days of the bronchoscopic study.
History of cigarette smoking or electronic cigarette smoking within the past 3 months.
History of drug or alcohol abuse within the past year.
Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (to exclude patients with HIV-related lymphocytic airway inflammation).
Post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 40% of predicted or pre-bronchodilator FEV1 < 35% of predicted. .
Active bronchospasm on physical examination.
History of lidocaine allergy.
History of prior cardiac disease.
For Bronchial Biopsies: PT and PTT greater than ULN.
For Bronchial Brushings or BAL:
- PT INR greater than or equal to 1.3.
- PTT greater than 5 seconds above ULN.
Platelet less than 150,00/ml.
Hemoglobin less than 12 gm/dl for males and less than 11 gm/dl for females.
Serum Creatine greater than 2.0.
Liver function tests greater than 2 times upper limit of normal.
Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, places the patient at undue risk for complications from fiberoptic bronchoscopy, bronchalveolar lavage, bronchial brushings, or bronchial biopsies.
Research volunteers will be between 18 and 75 years of age, male or female.
A negative inhalational methacholine challenge as defined bv the absence of a 20% decrease in FEV, following inhalation of 16 mg/ml of methacholine.
For women of childbearing potential, negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to study and willingness to adhere to reliable birth control methods during the study.
Same as the asthmatic exclusion criteria plus a history of asthma.

"These gift tag stickers are so cute! The good thing is that they can be used in many occasions because of them being stickers. I'm using ours for Valentine's Day goodie bags for my daughters' friends at school. Will come back again for more of these in other designs."
"I like the simplicity of this label. My daughter and I are using them for labels for her Valenine's Day gifts for her soccer team. I like the design because its simple and not super girly - my daughter is not very girly. I also used blue ink for her name to also turn down the girly factor. overall this was easy to customize, it arrived on time and I love the design. Tiny Prints is always great."
"I purchase these adhesive gift tags so I don't need a card to attach cards to a children's birthday gift. they rarely care about the card and it often becomes detached. I made a set of these with a picture of my boys and their names. Everyone loves them! It's also helpful for the parents to know who the gift is from in large classes. I know I'm more likely to recognize a photo than a name."
"Even though the item does not have real sparkles, you definitely get what they are going for. Very cute. Will be great for attaching to gift bags. Always very pleased with all my Tiny Prints purchases!"

Enty don't get baited do what is best for you. I am off this thread now.
Retired 2k and out.
to be fair , Phuket Top Team is a fucking boss gym and he can do anything based out of there
I'd actually love to see you on CW, think that would be a move in the right direction career wise.
Not being funny with my next question but if there is such big money in Asia for MMA, why are more people not flocking to fight there instead of taking $500 fights on WSOF?
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I can't comment on anyone else's career I only know the offers I have received from organisations I think it helps possibly if there's a few different promotions interested.
My aim has always been to fight the best and who ever I sign with it will be because they can give me fights against the best there is a reason why I did the trial cut and am sure it will all be clear in the near future
I still bench the same as when I fought at 70 and am still as explosive as I was at lightweight I just ran thru people at bantam weight am gonna pick mother fuckers up spin em round and throw them out the cage.
Enty M-1 has some great fighters at Featherweight to test yourself and they like leglocks
Pro 2-0,Semi-Pro 3-1,Am 6-1-1 Height 5ft 10 Weight 70kg
As much as i've slagged off/disliked Enty in the past there is no denying he is super talented. As much as it pains me to to so i have to admit it and i fully expect a slaggy off response given our bitching match kast year but i genuinely hope he does well.
If what he says is true and he can make BW then there is some fun fights for me.
Wouldn't mind seeing him in ONE FC n potentially the UFC next time the come to Asia.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
There's just too much talking and arguing and not enough fighting, whatever weight or organisation you fight for now the opponent will need to be impressive considering all this talk. It will be interesting to see if you can translate your talk into action. Good luck.
I'll fight you at Super Heavy but for the right money I'll cut to heavy.

am worried about how it will go, he's not small, they don't think, but he is my 3rd, which may help.
did anyone have the baby manually rotated? or did it rotate on it's own? Did anyone have to ahve a C-section because of it, or have an ineffective epidural becuase of it? These are the risks I've read about, plus longer labor, pushing etc, not excited?
Also, how did it feel in your belly? How did you know? Mine kicks his little feet straight out like a tent to my belly button. argh.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 397, November 7, 2008
- See us at SC08!
- Finding Optimization Options
- Managing Multiple Programming Environment Modules
- Quick Tip
See us at SC08!
ARSC will be at SC08, the 2008 Supercomputing conference, at the Austin Convention Center. Visit us November 17 - 20 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks booth 202, or at our kiosk in the DoD HPCMP booth 603. This year we spotlight the three competitively chosen HPCMP Capability Applications Project (CAP) users, who will be pioneer users of Pingo, as well as scientific activities in weather, climate change and our ongoing work in multi-core and accelerator evaluations.
Finding Optimization Options
[By: Don Bahls]
Both the PGI and PathScale compilers have "fast" compiler flags that enable a number of other compiler flags which generally provide good performance. Occasionally one of these flags might actually hinder code performance. Fortunately both PGI and PathScale have compiler flag combinations which will show the underlying flags that are enabled by the "fast" flags.
The "-fast" and "-fastsse" compiler flags can be used with the PGI compilers to enable compiler flags that generally provide good performance. By default, this doesn't show all of the underlying compiler flags that are used, however if the "-help" flag is added those flags will be displayed.e.g.
mg56 % pgf90 -help -fast Reading rcfile /import/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-7.1.6/linux86-64/7.1-6/bin/.pgf90rc -fast Common optimizations; includes -O2 -Munroll=c:1 -Mnoframe -Mlre -Mautoinline == -Mvect=sse -Mscalarsse -Mcache_align -Mflushz ... ...
For more information on available PGI compiler options see:
- man pgcc
- man pgCC
- man pgf90
PathScaleThe "-Ofast" compiler flag can be used with PathScale compilers to enable flags which generally aid performance. The "-show" flag will display the underlying compiler flags that are used by the PathScale compilers: e.g.
mg56 % pathf90 -show -Ofast /import/local/pkg/pathscale/pathscale-3.1/lib/3.1/ipa_link \ ... -INTERNAL:lang=F90 -INTERNAL:return_val=on -INTERNAL:mldid_mstid=on \ -INTERNAL:return_info=on -OPT:ffast_math=ON -ipa \ ...

Managing Multiple Programming Environment Modules
[By: Ed Kornkven]
(Or, One PrgEnv Module is Good, Two Can Be a Mess)
I may use programming environment modules differently than many of our users in that it is not uncommon for me to build a program using multiple compilers or versions of a compiler. As users of the ARSC systems know, ARSC uses the "modules" facility to bundle together all the path settings, environment variable settings and module dependencies that comprise the "programming environment" provided by a compiler version. So, all a user needs to do to compile with the PathScale 3.2 compiler for example, is
module load PrgEnv.path-3.2
We could have said
module load PrgEnv.pgi-7.2.2
to build using version 7.2.2 of the PGI compiler instead. If the PathScale environment is already loaded, we should first unload the PathScale module, then load the PGI module, or simply use the "switch" option to "module" to do the load and unload in one step:
module switch PrgEnv.path-3.2 PrgEnv.pgi-7.2.2
It is a good idea to unload the previous module before loading the next one because unloading will make sure that environment variables and paths for the previous module aren't laying around with the potential for causing confusion between compilers. Having the correct module loaded means that when we compile using the "mpif90" wrapper, for example, we will use the intended compiler. Being a lazy typist, I use shell aliases to switch modules, for example:
which is a Korn shell alias that is defined as
alias module_pgi=\ 'module switch $(module -t list 2>&1 grep PrgEnv) PrgEnv.pgi-7.2.2'
This alias works like this: The $(module -t list) displays the modules we currently have loaded in a "terse" format, which means one module per line, just the name. The $(grep) will then pick out the module that contains the string "PrgEnv", which is the module that manages the version of the compiler we are using, by ARSC convention. If we have PrgEnv.path-3.2 loaded, this will return that name. That name is the first parameter to the "module switch" command, the second being PrgEnv.pgi-7.2.2, the module I want to switch to. The effect is to execute the "module switch" command shown earlier. I have aliases for switching to all the Midnight compilers using this basic scheme.
To this point, I've talked a bit about the ARSC PrgEnv modules and how to use them to easily change compilers. A bigger problem for me is remembering to change modules. My default PrgEnv, set in my .profile, is set to PrgEnv.path-3.2. If I am working on a project that needs the PGI compilers, when I logout and return to that work, I have to remember to switch modules before compiling. Note that this is especially an issue when building with the MPI-wrapped compilers (e.g., "mpif90"). If one compiles with mpif90, a Makefile designed for PGI might very well work without complaint when run with the PathScale programming environment. We could build with the "wrong" compiler and not even realize it. So I want my Makefile to check to make sure the right PrgEnv module is loaded. If the proper module is not loaded, the make should abort with an error message.
To do that, we use the "-show" option of mpif90 (or mpicc). That option displays the actual compiler commands that are executed "under the covers" of the mpif90 wrapper script. In the Makefile we scan the output of "mpif90 -show" for the compiler we are expecting. If we don't find it, the make fails. For example, suppose we want to build with PGI. Here is a simple Makefile that uses this method to do the module check:
############################################################# # # Build a.out, making sure we are using the PGI compiler. # ############################################################# SHELL = /bin/ksh all: confirm_compiler clean a.out confirm_compiler: mpif90 -show grep pgf90 > /dev/null 2>&1 a.out: main.o mpif90 main.o main.o: main.f90 mpif90 -c main.f90 clean: rm -f *.o #############################################################
If we build with the PGI compiler loaded, the make works as usual. If a different module is installed, we get an error:
Midnight> make mpif90 -show grep pgf90 > /dev/null 2>&1 make: *** [confirm_compiler] Error 1
We could set up a similar check for the correct version of the compiler using the "-V" compiler option. The Makefile above is a little extra paranoid, forcing a "make clean" for every build. The "clean" target removes all the object files, which will cause the recompilation of every file. That approach does negate one of the main benefits of make, rebuilding only as much as necessary. But that might be much less painful than getting object files from different compilers inadvertently linked together. If you don't prefer that behavior, just remove the target "clean" from the list of dependences of "all". Hopefully these examples will get your creative juices flowing. Please send in other ideas, or improvements to the ones given here.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I've seen shell gurus moving around the command line with amazing [[ ease and grace. What's your favorite shell short-cut? What shell [[ do you use and do you use vi or emacs bindings? # # Thanks to Greg Newby for sharing his favorites! # I use ksh, bash, tcsh and zsh regularly. When I can use any shell, I often choose zsh, which combines many features of the others. In zsh, if you want to look through all files & subdirectories, no matter how many, you can do something like this (double asterisk syntax): "grep hello **/*c" This searches for "hello" in all files ending in c, recursively. The short-cut I use the most, which works in all the shells I use except ksh, is a variable for the last argument to the previous command line. The variable name is bang-dollar: !$ I use this very commonly when operating on a file. For example, this sequence of commands: ls -l testfile.txt (get a long directory listing) wc -l !$ (how many lines in testfile.txt?) vi !$ (edit it) scp !$ midnight.arsc.edu: (copy it somewhere else) Note that this feature requires command history to be enabled. # # Here a few short-cuts from co-editor Don Bahls # Using emacs bindings with tcsh or bash there are a few time saving keystrokes I use a lot. Type Ctr-p or Ctrl-n to go backward/forward through the command history. Then, for a command: Ctrl+a: jump to the beginning of the line Ctrl+e: jump to the end of a line Ctrl+d: delete a character after the current cursor position Ctrl+r: search backward through history for a pattern Esc+d: delete a complete word # # Co-editor Ed Kornkven uses vi bindings with ksh # Type the ESC key to enter command history mode, then k or j to go backward/forward through the command history. Equivalent keystrokes to Don's emacs bindings are: 0: jump to the beginning of the line $: jump to the end of a line x: delete a character after the current cursor position /: search backward through history for a pattern dw: delete a complete word Q: Is there a command, like "seq," but which increments or decrements dates in the standard, YYYYMMDD format? My wish would be for something like this: computer:~ % for dd in $(seq --yyyymmdd 20081029 20081102) > do > echo /var/local/log/somelog.${dd} > done /var/local/log/somelog.20081029 /var/local/log/somelog.20081030 /var/local/log/somelog.20081031 /var/local/log/somelog.20081101 /var/local/log/somelog.20081102
