See...I'm not calling your dog aggressive. I'm saying he has aggression. It's a normal thing, that shouldn't upset you, shouldn't get your riled up, shouldn't make you think any less of your dog or your ability as an owner. Our breed has aggression...and if you want to sit there and deny it, thinking you own some sort of lab or poodle...that makes you oblivious.
It's not a bad thing for your dog to have aggression. You just have to accept that there are dangerous situations at the dog park and unfortunately, our breed is more prone to either causing them or just plain getting blamed for them.
He's maturing, you don't know his genetics, there are a lot of questions about him right now. Again...not a terrible thing. But you just have to open your eyes to the fact that your dog has the ability to hurt other dogs and rough play today...leads to something happening tomorrow, especially if you don't have 100% recall (which is possible).
The only reason I'm telling you this is because I was just like you 2 years ago. I thought I had the sweetest most submissive GSD in the world that would never hurt any other dog because he loved to play so much and could get a bit too rough sometimes. I'm telling you, that switch flips super fast...it took me weeks to see it. It was play play play play, and then all of the sudden BAM! It's actually much easier to see it in the other dogs...their tails usually stop wagging, they start running away more and not really enjoying the game of chase.
|If you are going to continue to go to the dog park, fine, jsut make sure you put yourself in the situation where you have all the control. Be right with your dog 100% of the time and when he doesn't listen, leash and do OB, then repeat. That would be my only other suggestion.

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree that a dog can perform a command 100 percent reliably every time
Thank you for your input
Who is doing the correcting at doggy daycare?
Sounds to me that you have a decent understanding of your dog considering you haven't had him long. And you are trying to figure out the unknown by consulting a behaviorist. BUT my first concern is always MY DOG. Even if she is not the one at fault....she is the GSD and will get blamed. And if she plays a bit rough and it turns into something more serious....she is the GSD and will get blamed. My girl unfortunately is reactive to other dogs. She has never been in a fight or bitten another dog but that is only because I try very hard to avoid a situation where that could happen. She is not aggressive, she is reactive, but that could easily turn into aggression I think. She went to dog parks when she was younger...she was pinned and bullied by older dogs that were "just playing rough". I wish I could go back in time....dog parks would have been on my do not go there list.
I see a big difference in her behavior when she is with dogs that have knowledgable owners vs the average pet owner. Sadly, dog parks seem to have more of the latter.
If I had to do it all over I wouldn't worry so much about her playing with unknown dogs. I would stick to dogs I know for socialization.
|If your dog wants to play with another dog that doesn't want to play with him, go get him and distract him by playing ball, chase etc with him. If he goes back to the other dog, get him and take him home. He will learn.

I too am one of the few that don't hate dog parks.. I have had luck with them and owners who give a hoot. However, people are going to get uncomfortable with a larger dog growling even when playing.. and while we know the difference they may not, as well as the other dog may just simply not tolerate it.
I'm lucky enough that Titan doesn't have a desire to interact with the other dogs at the park. That's not why we go. We go because it's much larger than my yard and he likes to sprint for his ball. He is oblivious to most other dogs and the only time he has responded to another dog is when they were trying to play and he didn't appreciate it. The owner didn't have control over his dog that kept poking at Titan to chase him and barking at him the whole way he went to get the ball and back, even nipping to play because that is something dogs do. While I knew he was playing, I still made the owner leash his dog while we were there because Titan had just about had it and I knew was going to turn into a fight if the dog kept at it, because every dog has a breaking point. Same concept for you.
Even if you know he's good and playing, the other dog just may not like it either then it turns into a huge fight and your dog would have been the instigator. Not to mention, here in certain parks (I stay away from) people have been known to take their guns to dog parks. I would hate to be in a situation where my dog was viewed as a threat and shot and killed.
At this point you have the control to change the situation. That may mean avoiding dog parks until you get everything 100% trained. Being almost 100% accurate is like saying he's 90% potty trained. He is or he isn't.
The reason people are saying you are oblivious is just because you asked for advice and everyone is pretty much saying the same thing and you are in denial. Your dog is not aggressive or "bad." Just needs to learn some manners, and more visits to the DP without you doing anything is certainly only going to escalate everything. You should be able to say with 100% confidence that you have control over your dog, but you can't. You can only say that about 90% of the time. What about the 10% That's a huge difference when it comes to dog fighting and obedience. It's the reason I am breaking from SAR, Titan has a 95% recall.. and that's not good enough for me because that could cause serious issue while we work..
Just take the advice people are giving you. You aren't a bad person, your dog isn't aggressive, YET, (it only takes one event) so pause for a while, get your dog into more training and then go back when he's 100% solid.
I know I sound defensive and I hate that, but I know the answer isn't that my dog is aggressive and I'm oblivious. I know it's always a risk going to the dog park, and that is one I'm obviously willing to take. As stated earlier,I have stopped taking him until I can figure this out. He still be going to daycare one per week for about 2 hrs. We were only going to the dog park on weekends. We also consistently work commands in distracting places, including come.
He probably just turned 2. I got him at about a year and a half. Recently neutered the month before I got him. He was a stray. I know
I he was not around other dogs for at least 5 months between the shelter and the rescue. Before that is unknown.

1-no animal performs with 100 percent accuracy. Not even people.
2-my dog doesn't snap at other dogs or get after them out try to put them in their place. He does great with almost all dogs at the park, the only time he had trouble is when he wants to play rough and the other dog doesn't. What will happen is he paws at the other dog and they tell him no and he doesn't listen. He had been corrected by dogs before and he takes it fine, but don't dogs he just doesn't listen to. He had never been in or any part of a dog fight. Most people at the park love him and he has lots of friends there.
3- aggression means intent to do harm, wrestling and rough housing is not aggression.
He went to daycare today and did awesome.
Like you, I take my dog to dog parks, beaches, doggie day camp. Up to now it works for us. Like yours he has many friends ( dog park small dogs and big dogs mixed together).
Some dogs and some people shouldn't go to dog parks though. If Dex becomes one of those, then I won't take him.
In regards to rough play, everyone knows him at the dog park so they don't have a problem with him playing with their small dog. Never the less, I don't allow him to get excited and trample any of them. We mostly play in the big dog corner. If anyone new would come and they are apprehensive of my dogs play, I respect that and immediately recall him. We're not perfect but I try to put the shoe on the other foot. I would never just allow my dog to pester another dog whether I feel like its play or not. Maybe 6 months from now, we won't do dog parks, who knows. But I agree, things could happen anywhere as Ive read on this forum, you can walk down the street with your dog on leash and be attacked by another dog.
|wolfy dog
It sounds like that only the others in the park have a problem then. If you ask for advice and people on the forum help you as best as they can, it is odd that in the end nothing seems to be wrong.
I see that often as a trainer. I point out what they need to do and then I get the famous, "Yes, buts...."
So, I you have a problem, get a trainer and listen with an open mind. Final answer.

text: But such a large number of gold medalists retire, it is very difficult to say what they might have done if they didn't retire. Gold medalists have a lot to do for the months that follow when they get home, and continuing to train would lose a lot of opportunities for them. Lysacek (who didn't intend to retire at least) and Plushenko both skipped Worlds after a Gold medal, if I have my competitions straight. So Hughes would not be the only one to do so.

Wayne Law Embracing Technology, Connecting with Students, Alumni and Friends
DETROIT (July 14, 2009) – The days of hard copies, snail mail and, yes, even phone calls, are over as we once knew them. While these remain effective, high quality methods of communication, they don't have the immediacy that today's technology-driven consumers have come to demand with their iPhones and BlackBerrys. Let's face it, today you're a bit out-of-touch if you don't e-mail, blog, tweet, text or IM. Fortunately, Wayne State University Law School is doing its part to keep up with its tech savvy students, alumni and friends.
The Wayne Law Career Services Office authors a blog, available at http://law.wayne.edu/blogs/careers-services/, to assist Wayne Law students, alumni and friends in securing employment. Specifically, the Career Services blog offers suggestions about what sectors and employers are hiring, where to find clerkships and internships, job search basics, building a résumé and much more.
"We offer comprehensive career planning assistance to our students and alumni," said Wayne Law Assistant Dean of Career Services Krystal Gardner. "Our blog and our online career management system provide 24-hour access to career-related information and resources. Students and alumni may readily obtain information related to any aspect of the job search, from savvy networking to drafting a compelling résumé to effective interviewing."
The Career Services Office is just one Wayne Law office that has entered the blogosphere. The Admissions Office authors a blog for admitted Wayne Law students through which they can connect with Admissions professionals, current students, alumni and friends.
"We want admitted students to feel comfortable and confident when they enroll for classes at Wayne Law," said Wayne Law Assistant Dean of Admissions Ericka M. Jackson. "Our blog provides information on housing, parking, registering for classes, important dates, Law School news and more. It helps admitted students get a better sense of this Law School and what it offers before they even set foot on campus."
Additionally, a number of Wayne Law professors author their own blogs. Dean Robert M. Ackerman is behind "The Dean Bob Law Blog," available at http://law.wayne.edu/blogs/deansblog/, which allows him to share ideas about the Law School, legal education, the legal profession, the economy and more with Wayne Law students, alumni and friends.
Noted legal experts and Wayne Law professors Linda Beale and Noah Hall author "A Taxing Matter" (http://ataxingmatter.blogs.com/tax/) and "Great Lakes Law," respectively. These nationally renowned blogs offer legal opinions and advice, and give students, alumni and friends a better idea of the high caliber faculty teaching at Wayne Law.
Wayne Law has also expanded communication efforts outside of blogging via Twitter, Facebook and Linked In to better reach its many stakeholders. People interested in following Wayne Law announcements and news as it happens can receive brief messages online or via their phones through Twitter (http://twitter.com/_WayneLaw). Those interested in networking with students, alumni and friends can do so on Facebook and Linked In at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19867991497 and http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=1802037&goback=.gdr_1241117478070_1, respectively.
Combined with Wayne Law's recently relaunched, more user-friendly website (http://law.wayne.edu), the Law School continues to do its part to better inform its students, alumni and friends through new and different technologies.
"Wayne Law is aware of the ever-increasing role of technology in reaching our current and prospective students, alumni, community members and friends," said Wayne Law Communications Director Kristin Copenhaver. "It is imperative that we continue to adapt to and utilize different technological avenues moving forward. We have so many great things happening here at the Law School. It's important that people know about them."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

In a libertarian society there would be no public school monopoly or mandatory attendence and no truancy laws. Christians, Buddhists, secularists, Satanists, Sub Gennii, would all have their own schools if they wanted to send their children to a school at all.
You know what? Never mind. I'm out. When "Abolish public education, public libraries..." comes up in this discussion, it's time for me to leave. I hope I contributed something to the original topic, Samantha.
I didn't mean to sound angry. I just realized there was no point in arguing over the affects of a secular vs religious society, especially when extreme libertarianism is introduced to it. Because once again, you're picking and choosing what you believe are rights.
Once we get rid of anything that's public domain, like schooling and libraries, it then becomes a question of how far. Do we get rid of Medicaid and Medicare? Do we allow companies and organizations to own the highways? Do parks even exist anymore, as most people who have the money to own them would build over them? What about access to common communication mediums, which are regulated by the government?
There needs to be a balance between freedom and protection, whether from external or internal forces, in my opinion, and you don't agree. There's just no point to arguing about it, as we will all end up having different answers and none of us are going to suddenly change how we feel on the subject.
Samantha Blythe said:Sorry, Adam....didn't mean to sound so over the top...it was late and it is so rare to find another person who has considered a society without government schooling that I got overly excited. Forgive me, please?
Anyway, as far as schools and libraries go, without the public options what you would get is real diversity. In this country at least - don't know about other countries - there were plenty of schools before there were mandatory attendance laws, and the literacy rate was actually higher then. If libraries were fee supported, then Christians wouldn't be bitching about immoral stuff therein, because they could join a library that didn't carry that kind of thing...and they wouldn't be trying to "get prayer back in schools" because they would choose schools that had their students pray if that's what they wanted. There could be schools just for the children of gay parents, so they could go to a school where they are not persecuted because of a different family structure...the list is endless.
I think a lot of people assume that someone who doesn't support State education doesn't care about education at all. I am wondering if this is what you think, and that's why my statement made you so mad. There is a logical fallacy called the either/or fallacy wherein it is assumed that your choices are limited to EITHER this OR that. One thing that libertarians believe is that if people want something, they will find it or create it if it doesn't exist - assuming their ability to do so is not thwarted by an outside agent. So we think that if there were no public education, there would be all kinds of educational opportunities that would spring up - including various options for poor people, which could range from outright charity schools to co-ops where the parents teach, to not much schooling at all, in favor of really working.
Anyway, I am interested to see that this thread now contains great food for thought about TWO of my great interests...and yes, you contributed greatly to the original topic and I was enjoying your contributions to the tangent. Sorry again for sounding shrill!
Adam Icarus said:You know what? Never mind. I'm out. When "Abolish public education, public libraries..." comes up in this discussion, it's time for me to leave. I hope I contributed something to the original topic, Samantha.
Now there is a Christian related zine I'd happily read :)
It's kinda funny that this is the first post i've found when my account was approved because i'm also that anomaly in the christian community lol i've been looking for more people that share my world view that take advantage of or just express themselves through this kind of art and literature.

|ZETEC Performance (2000-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
im running a stock size 16 tire, and today over a 250mi round trip i was getting 39mpg, my car is stock other than wheels and magnaflow exaust. and almost dead tires. so when i get new tires, i expect my city range to go up, and a hair in the high way miles
that was with my and a friend, together weighing 450lbs plus my 3 year old son with his car seat, and my 65lb tool box and a detail bag
i use a SG2 to monitor my Throttle position, on level ground to make 65, my throttle is at no more than 38% that was with a head wind. i never took it over 3krpm, was not drafting, and was in no hurry to keep up with traffic. my temp was 222f deg, window half open with no fan on, no ac, no headlights, i did have my stereo on with no amps.
im not a hypermiler, just giving you the stats on it, it was a good challange, but id rather go fast
Since my speedometer is off due to running smaller than stock tires(less than 6200 miles on a 70,000 mile tire, so wont be replacing these anytime soon as previousily mentioned), at 74 on the dash I am actually running 70 on the GPS. So at 74 on the dash, Im right around 2900-3000 on the tach. With the dash reading 79-80mph, where it normally is because I hate getting up in the morning, is right around 3200-3300rpm. I drive TO work not for work. I cant take my backseats out though, because I get my son every other weekend and Im not willing to take the seats out, just to put them back in 10 days later. To me its not worth that little gain in MPG to do that.
I just had a 18 inch long 2.5 inch glasspack installed in the exhaust, and I honestly dont THINK I have changed my driving style(maybe I have), but I am now seeing closer to 25MPG now.
Also, with the speedometer being off, I have done the math, for every 100 miles I drive I need to subtract 5 miles off what the trip meter says. So if I go 200 miles on 10 gallons, then in reality, I went 190 miles. So even though my last fillup said I went 258.8 miles, I really went 248.8, netting me almost 25mpg. I also do not have cruise control, but in normal conditions, I have gotten pretty good at keeping the speed with 2mph at all times. As for the A/C, I never use that in the summer unless my son is with me. I prefer the windows down if I can.
|Yeah, your best bet is to simply slow down and try not to drive aggressively. I drive 80 miles or more a day and manage about 32 MPGs averaging between 65-70 MPH. I've done my commute at 55 MPH for a whole tank and actually managed 35 MPGs. Your driving style is going to be the biggest factor in the mileage you get, unless there is just something really wrong with your car.
I forgot this one earlier - air conditioning. The AC really knocks down the mileage - although at high speed it is better than opening a window. But at low speed - cruising in the city at 35 or under - it is probably better to turn the AC off and open the windows wide. Besides, if you have a thumpin stereo might as well give the populace exposure to decent music instead of top 40. :-)
And don't forget the defroster turns on the AC. You can override that and turn on defrost then turn off ac. it will take longer to clear the windows of course.
when they need to be replaced also go with skinny tire.
Remove the spare, most insurance companies have free road side assistance.
Get a vacuum gauge (usually also paired with a boost but you don't care about that) and when driving try to keep the vacuum as high as possible = better MPG.
You could get extreme and look at shaving your antenna on the roof and smooth that out. Perhaps see what you can do to tuck in the side mirrors. if skilled with body work you can install covers over the rear wheels to keep the body lines spokes on rims cause air turbulence can also look at new light weight rims that a solid faced (ford even has "convertible" rims on their new F-150 concept)
|your biggest culprit here is the ATX. If you have CC use it as often as possible. Also make sure that your tires are always properly inflated
Not sure what kind of roads you are driving on, maybe the speed limit is 65 or 70. If so go the slowest possible without pissing people off or becoming a danger on the road. But if its 55mph and you are just speeding, slow it down. You will see more MPG gains by far then any amount of mods will get you.
Getting the best out of your car is always about how you drive and keeping your car properly maintained.
OK your looking for MPG, let me tell you some facts, here.
1) You will never get the best MPG if your throttle is EVER at WOT. If your highway cruising, your throttle is barely cracked open. That means all the porting and suchlike does NOTHING. Porting makes no difference unless your at WOT. So do most of the go-fast stuff on the car does absolutely nothing.
2) For best MPG you want to have the car at the lowest RPM at all times. Meaning that when shifting you get the car up into the highest gear as quick as possible. And also meaning that you want the tallest gears possible. Your 3.90 axle ratio coupled with 14" wheels is a problem here. What does your RPM run at when your at 70Mph? I'd bet it's pretty high.
3) If your running a catcon, then you have very little choice in fuel mixture because while the engine will be perfectly happy running on a leaner mixture, you will burn up your catcon.
4) remove weight from the car. You said you drive for work - well do you haul passengers around and people? If not, remove your seats and put them in the garage.
5) lowering is good for MPG.
6) reduce speed. Sorry to say this but I'll give you the following challenge. For 1 tank of gas, do not drive faster than 55Mpg on the whole tank. Then check MPG.
7) Does your car have a trunk mounted spoiler bar? If so, remove it - those are MPG sucks. Spoilers work by pulling energy away from going forward and converting it to downward pressure.
8) fuel is wasted every time you apply the brakes. Be forward-looking and pull your foot off the throttle way, way, way in advance of an intersection and coast to the red light.
With the mods you have I would do a wide band air fuel gauge unless you never plan on going WOT
I would do a tune
180 deg thermostat
SP463 plugs gapped at .060
The tune it self may not do a lot for MPG but what it will do is bring your mods together and that might well gain some MPG , other mods listed will do the same

Nebraska Juvenile Court Records, 1988-1993 (ICPSR 6809)
Principal Investigator(s): National Center for Juvenile Justice; Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
This data collection describes in quantitative terms the volume of juvenile cases disposed in Nebraska during 1988-1993 by courts having jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and dependency cases). The Nebraska Juvenile Court Registry system was inaugurated in 1971 by the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice to collect data from juvenile justice agencies on each case disposed during the previous calendar year. The data are used by the Commission in juvenile justice planning, and by county and juvenile courts, juvenile probation offices, private and public agencies, and industry interested in juvenile involvement in the state's courts. Cases involving individuals under age 18 which are filed directly in district courts and juvenile traffic offenses or citations are not included. The data include a record of each case processed with or without filing a petition and include a county code, youth's date of birth, age at referral, sex, date of referral, date of disposition, and case disposition.

Yea that blank would work we will need to chamber it and turn it and every thing else but its a good start. you could do a bull barrel or a heavier weight like around 3/4" or what ever a RPK barrel uses for a GB and hand guard retainer.
that barrel might be just the ticket for a 450 bushmaster also. brass is out for it now an Im sure there are reamers. Id have to research the twist.
wish they had a .358 barrel cheap. Im thinking about a 9mm-08 using my 358 win reamer on one of there 9mm barrels. Id have to get it converted to a removable pilot. it would be a fun gun to shoot cast bullets in.

But I tried to make all my friends like Parks and Recreation.The closer of my friends, I conned into coming over to my house and watching several season two episodes on Netflix. The rest of them got spammed on their facebook feed. One quote or another is always my GChat status (currently: "It's your basic dogs playing poker, with an everything's on fire theme"). And my dear fiance's begrudging acceptance of it as pre-bed or during-dinner watching eventually turned him into a somewhat enthusiastic fan.
I'm a Greg Daniels nerd - two of my other very favorite shows are The Office and King of the Hill - so it's natural that I would get real enthusiastic about his most pro-woman creation. And what's more, I can actually like it from a feminist perspective, which is quite rare for me. Almost every show I like is in spite of its political implications, including the occasionally socially insightful shows cited above. But Parks and Recreation is awesome. I love all the characters and the relatively diverse cast. There are few jokes predicated on the marginalization of people (though there are definitely some).
And best of all, there's Leslie Knope. Knope is someone I actually like, rather than tolerate, guiltily identify with, or laugh at. She is funny, and she's good, and she's many of the things I am at my best: competent, hard-working, respectful. She's a big feminist, too, and it's framed not as a flaw on her part, but as a part of her enthusiasm for herself and others. Sady Doyle articulated this better back in April of 2010 at Feministe:
You [Leslie Knope] have only the most cursory understanding of what "feminism" means. It's "feminist," for example, for ladies to do well in politics, and so in your office you have several inspirational pictures of female politicians, selected with no regard for their actual politics whatsoever. Clinton, Condoleeza Rice. Madeline Albright, Margaret Thatcher. I could probably find a Palin picture in there somewhere, if I had TiVo and HD. You just love ladies! You just want them to do well! That's "feminist," right?
And yet, although you have no understanding of the theory, your practice is continually good. You are the girl who can't fake it: You see the entire world as an intrinsically fair place, where people who do well are rewarded, and so you just continually act out of this understanding that everyone is a person deserving of respect, and you should try really hard and be really nice, and then you will of course become President, because that is how things work, in this just and moral universe we live in. Even though everything and everyone continually informs you this is not the case, AT ALL, you keep acting on principle and only on principle, because that is who you are.Leslie Knope, and the rest of the characters on the show, are good people who despite their various privileges try their best not to hurt people, except for Jerry. They try, for the most part, to treat people with respect and care, except for Jerry. They make mistakes and need to apologize sometimes, even to Jerry. It's a show I can watch where people won't make lots of jokes about rape, or make a lot of jokes at the expense of people with disabilities. Parks and Recreation is, in short, something of a safe space for me.
But despite this honest faith effort to not hurt people with their comedy, the writers, producers, and performers still have some major ongoing issues that I begin to notice after the nth time rewatching the amazing second season on Netflix. Stalking is a humorous plotline, a sign of affection rather than a threat. Heterosexuality is a norm that goes mostly unchallenged. Fatness is depicted as unhealthy and gross. Cissexism and essentialism are often present as punchlines. Knope frequently trumpets her feminism through
Upholding social injustice shouldn't be surprising from a show that revolves around the functioning of a branch of government. Government is generally about upholding existing systems of power; while the Pawnee parks department involves some deviation from norms, they uphold them just as frequently. But I trust Parks and Rec. I trust Leslie Knope. I engage critically with things I love - that's how I express my appreciation for it as a story and as a piece of comedy. And so, I will speak my truth of the flaws of this show even as I continue to be a huge freaking fan. I expect more and hold them to a higher standard.
But I wanted to take a moment to explain my deep love of the show the show. Because if there's one thing I've learned about writing about television on the internet, if you say one thing or another's not funny, people will take that to mean you hate everything about the show and erase all the awesome things you've said about it. And I want to be able to point out how much I really love it, because, as I've already said like five times already, it's basically my favorite show ever.

Green Bay Men's Basketball Officially Opens Practice
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The energy level was high on Friday afternoon in Dick Bennett Gym. Even though the Green Bay men's basketball team is less than one month removed from playing three games during a trip to the Bahamas and the players have been going through individual workouts the past few weeks, Friday was different.
The practice jerseys were brand new. The five newcomers had the same numbers on their backs that their game jerseys will show in 2013-14. The 14 members of the 2013-14 Phoenix were on the court together for the first time. The games and workouts were valuable, but Friday was official.
"It's exciting," said head coach Brian Wardle. "The guys are and I think we all are excited. It is a new year, a new roster. As a coach, this is what you love doing, being on the floor teaching and trying to build and prepare for a tough schedule. We have enjoyed coaching this group, and these guys are really looking forward to the season."
Like any senior, Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) is experiencing a lot of aspects of a college basketball career for the last time. Friday was his last first practice, something he said was surreal to think about beforehand.
"It is crazy because it feels like just a couple of days ago I was coming in here as a freshman," said Brown. "It has gone fast, but I have enjoyed it for sure. We're ready to go. We're fired up.
Brown averaged 14.1 points per game as a junior in 2012-13 and also knocked down 30-of-71 three-pointers. The 7-foot-1 post enters his senior season as the lone player nationally to have totaled 1,200-plus points, 600-plus rebounds and 200-plus blocked shots.
First-Team All-Horizon League point guard Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) returns for his junior campaign after averaging 15.9 points and 4.3 assists per contest. Sykes, who is getting to play with high school teammates Vince Garrett (Chicago, Ill.) and Alfonzo McKinnie (Chicago, Ill.), says the team chemistry is high heading into the season.
"From top to bottom we are a pretty close team," said Sykes. "Sometimes off the court we say we might joke too much, but that is the friend and family environment we have and it is fun."
Garrett, fellow transfer Lamin Fulton (Philadelphia, Pa.) and freshmen Turner Botz (Little Chute, Wis.), Tevin Findlay (Malton, Ontario) and Kenneth Lowe (Little Chute, Wis.) hit the floor for their first official practice with the Phoenix.
"It is not so much telling them as it is showing them," said Brown. "You can tell them all you want, but you just have to show them the work ethic that it takes to play at the next level and hope that they follow. I think we have some guys that will follow and hopefully lead this team to good things in the future."

The different voltages that flow through your body when ungrounded
This video gives an excellent demonstration of the differing voltages that flow through your body depending on how close you are to electrical interference. It also shows how you can earth yourself and send all these excess voltages out of your body and to ground, simply by taking your shoes off. Interestingly, you will also see how asphalt road surfaces are not a grounding environment because they act as an insulator, whereas concrete is a good earthing substrate.

Re: Steam Gun
This looks really familiar.
Re: My Dog Breathes Steampunk
Finally you got it right, Adder. At least you're on topic. Now if only you could draw...
Re: Fe-MAN
Very nice. Usually I just check the the top ten or so shirts and see if there's anything that I like. I'm glad I scrolled down a little today. It might not have enough 'steam' to catch up to the top 4, but it's still the best of the bunch.
Good job.
Well this entry is utter tripe. I, personally, am a fan of steampunk and I think you oversimplify what it is.
With that said, I'm giving you a vote simply because all the shirts I do like are far from the fog or rejected (as far from the fog as you can get). I'm quite curious to see if woot will print this, and, if so, how many weeks it'll stay in the top 20. Good luck.

Trust me, Storm, I want this to be rejected just as much as you do, but I also realize that the shirt.woot staff probably isn't around at all times. Should it have been rejected by now? In an ideal world, yes.
If this gets rejected that would F A I L. I think this is one of the best entries this derby and one of the only ones I'd buy/wear. Of course I do agree that it doesn't exactly fit the theme, but I really don't care all that much. Most of the shirts that DO fit the theme, I wouldn't wear. If the shirt looks good, I'll buy it whether it fits the theme or not. This is a t-shirt site after all.

Your design only punctuates how well formulaic art does here at woot! Tired art rakes in the votes. How sad is that!
Adder, I hope this design prints. It'll be 1,000 cool bucks for you and almost as disappointing a print as "yay, brocolli" for all those who care about intelligent, well-executed, original art.

Re: The Aviator

Re: MI 1600
alright, keep this going, make pappa proud
First time poster, wanted to wait until I had something worthwhile to say. My first thought when I saw the first version of this "protest shirt," or whatever it might be called, was "slightly funny, mostly stupid." But after thinking about it more, seeing the troubles of Drakxxx and others, and seeing the off-topicness and pandering (or at least cuteseyness) of the fog, I have come to fully support this entry. I believe this is the best (and only viable) way for those with similar opinions to try to influence the outcomes of these derbys. I believe that suggesting rule restrictions ("no flying penguins") or rejections based on relative off-topicness would be bad for a few reasons:
1. Not gonna happen
2. Restricts artistic freedom (much as I personally hate the cutesy animals)
So, good job Adder, let's just hope that people can be encouraged to vote more for on-topic and genuinely creative entries through satire, unlikely as it may be... GMV.
Re: Less Talk, More Work
Take your own advice for this design. Rejected...
Somehow I doubt this will be accepted as incidental text.
Re: Less Talk, More Work
i dont get it
Re: Steam-powered heart
I love it! The colors are great. I hope the placement isn't too high/far over :\ GMV
SarahPants5 wrote:I love it! The colors are great. I hope the placement isn't too high/far over :\ GMV
Looking again, I think the placement is fine.
Re: Let's Play
I have not read the entire comment section so maybe someone else has already stated this or maybe its just me, but this design looks a heck of a lot like "Grim Optimism" (http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=7689). That it is a relatively large and intimidating thing vs. a cutesy animal...
Hmm, I don't think this fits the theme any more than the other fog entries. Not that I care that much as long as it looks good. Anyway, I really can't see myself wearing a shirt like this. Although I admit it is VERY well designed. Sorry, no vote.
Re: The Girl in Red
I really love the design and illustration, but I have to agree that this is not steampunk...
Re: True Steampunk
Inspired by some people, I decided to make a shirt that was actually steampunk (you know, not just gears and steam). At first glance it might not look too steampunk but it has all the nessesary elements.
1.Huge Goggles
2.Top Hat
3.The Key
5.Steampunkish Expression
Hope you like it! XD
Re: Of the Moment
LOVE this, LOVE the color, really want to wear this! GMV
Re: Tesla Versus Mars
I like this design, but I don't like the way that it sits on the shirt in a rectangle. It would be cool if you could break the bounds of the rigid edges, make the color of the shirt work and blend into the design.
is he a puritan?
lucky1988 wrote:lovely characters!
haha! thanks friend! although i think yours are lovelier than mine!
That wolf is wearing armor! Silly wolf. Armor is for people!
I really like the design, but the photo is too small to see the real details...
Re: Gamepunk
good luck with this whole thing.
you definitely had my vote before it was rejected...
Re: Phineas the Aeronaut
good luck figuring out what to do about the rejection, I would definitely buy it
I love the take on Red Riding Hood, but I would buy this as a poster over a shirt.
Forgive me for using the word, but "epic" showdowns like this belong on walls to be seen at all times, not just one day on your chest every few weeks.
After looking at Seki's entry and getting confused about this Ramy/Seki thing, I read all the comments on this one, too.
I may be new to woot, but let it be known that Howl's Moving Castle is considered a steampunk film by wikipedia. If THAT'S steampunk because it has a castle with steam vents in it, then this can be steampunk, too.
adamsw216 wrote:I like the design, but I honestly wouldn't wear the shirt. It's not really my style, but I was also rather upset at your rejection so I am now voting for this because you deserve to be back up where you were!
Same here, and same here.

yes sir boss man
oh I so want this to win, please please please.

Cutting-edge research and care in Cystic Fibrosis
Dr. Drucy Borowitz
Drucy Borowitz, MD is clinical professor of pediatrics at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
One of the first centers of its kind in the United States, the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo has always been at the vanguard of patient care, research, and education. Composed of a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals, the Center strives to provide exemplary family-centered care to patients, to participate in research for the improvement of care and treatment, and to educate patients, families, the medical community, and the public about the disease. The CF Center is presently one of just 118 nationally accredited CF centers in the country and one of 77 accredited therapeutic development network centers.
Working to control the disease
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that affects approximately 30,000 people in the United States. With CF, a defective gene causes the body to produce abnormally thick and sticky mucus. The mucus clogs the lungs and obstructs the pancreas, as well as impacting other organs, making breathing and food absorption difficult. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's National Patient Registry, the median age of survival for a person with the disease is approximately 36 years.
"Our goal, as a CF Center, is to control and cure CF," says Dr. Drucy Borowitz, who served as the CF center director for over 25 years. "That's what's important to patients—to promote a longer life and a good quality of life."
Early Diagnosis; Improved Intervention
Early and correct detection make a tremendous and positive impact on patient care. Before 2002, when New York State began newborn screening (NBS), children were diagnosed through symptoms. Today, individuals identified by NBS are diagnosed with CF if they have an elevated sweat chloride level or if they have inherited disease-causing mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Detection is, however, not as straightforward as it might seem. Mutations in the CFTR gene can cause CF, but not all mutations are disease-causing. Infants identified by the NBS program in which CF cannot be clearly diagnosed or ruled out are given the designation CFTR-related metabolic syndrome (CRMS). The Buffalo Center led the way in helping to define standards for care of infants with CF and with CRMS, a definition now used by the CF Foundation and other facilities involved in NBS. As of 2011, all 50 states had implemented NBS.
Quality care all along the way
The Center serves the eight counties of Western New York and has both a pediatric and adult program providing continuity of care throughout a patient's lifetime. Dr. Danielle Goetz became the new pediatric program director in 2014; Dr. Carla Frederick is the adult program director. A team of physicians, coordinators, a dietitian, respiratory therapists, a social worker, a genetic counselor, and a psychiatrist make up the pediatric and adult teams. Finding ways to improve patient care is always at the forefront of the CF Center's work. A Parent-Patient Advisory Council was founded to help in the redesign of patient care. The Center uses a microsystems-based approach to quality improvement (QI). In 2007-2008, it received a national award recognizing its outstanding QI processes and accomplishments.
Looking for a Breakthrough
Bringing new treatments into the clinical realm through research directly betters the lives of those affected by CF. Since the early 1990s, the CF Center has been involved in over 30 clinical trials, led by Nadine Caci, RNC, CCRC, senior research coordinator, and assisted by Christine Roach, RN. Investigations are underway to find a molecule to change the CFTR protein; one study is currently in Phase 3, the last phase before seeking FDA approval. "Our hope is that this will be a breakthrough in treatment," says Dr. Borowitz. Also showing early promise is a novel technique in which a small device called the SmartPill is used to measure the acidity of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; CF affects the pH in the GI tract. This groundbreaking work could represent a big step forward in care.
Center Recognition
The work carried out at the center has not gone unnoticed. In 2008, The Stephen P. Holesko Fund was established by Stephen and Joan Holesko in memory of their son to support the Cystic Fibrosis Center at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo. The Fund helps working families that are struggling with the expenses associated with caring for a child with CF and, starting in 2011, it will support the Center's annual Family Education Night.
Improving Outcomes
The success of multidisciplinary care at the CF Center is reflected in its clinical outcomes, which are among the best in the country, according to data compiled by the National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Measures of pulmonary and nutritional status are the strongest predictors of future health in people with CF. For the measure of lung function (FEV1), the percentage predicted for patients 18 to 29 in 2009 (the most recent data available) at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo was 82; the national median was 70. The measure of body mass index (a nutritional indicator) for patients age 20 or older treated by the Buffalo Center in 2009 was 23.3; the national median for BMI was 21.9. For both measurements, the higher number value demonstrates better outcomes.
Dr. Drucy Borowitz sums up the reasons for the positive and ever-improving outcomes: "We have employed quality improvement methods and family-oriented care to help us achieve the best possible clinical outcomes for our patients. We are also active participants in many research studies, and are at the forefront of some exciting new drugs that have the potential to change the course of CF."

Telehealth is simply using digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, to manage your health and well-being. Telehealth, also called e-health or m-health (mobile health), includes a variety of health care services, including but not limited to:
Consider how people with diabetes could use telehealth to manage their health — all without having to leave home:
Interested in learning more? Check out the following ways technology can help you better manage your health.
An e-visit is a doctor's appointment you do online instead of in person. You type in your question or problem, usually through a progression of questions. Your message is sent to your health care provider, who reviews it and sends a response. You may receive a prescription for medication, a recommendation for a follow-up appointment or other advice. Your messages are secure — meaning no one else can see or read them. Visits can also take place in real time via a video conference.
E-visits can save you — and your doctor — time compared with office visits. They can be especially helpful for people in rural areas or those who don't have easy access to transportation.
A personal health record is a collection of information about your health that you control and maintain. If you have a shot record or a file of medical papers, you already have a basic personal health record. And you've probably encountered the big drawback of paper records: You rarely have them with you when you need them.
Electronic personal health record systems — often called PHR systems — remedy that problem by making your personal health record accessible to you anytime via a Web-enabled device, such as your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Having a personal health record can be a lifesaver, literally. In an emergency, you can quickly give emergency personnel vital information, such as a disease you're being treated for, medications you take, drugs you're allergic to, and how to contact your family doctor.

Baba Shiv:
Sometimes it's good to give up the driver's seat
Over the years, research has shown a counterintuitive fact about human nature: Sometimes, having too much choice makes us less happy. This may even be true when it comes to medical treatment. Baba Shiv shares a fascinating study that measures why choice opens the door to doubt, and suggests that ceding control — especially on life-or-death decisions — may be the best thing for us.

NY Daily News distorted Biden's views on use of filibuster
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
In a February 28 article, the New York Daily News amended and took out of context a remark made by Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE) on NBC's Meet the Press to falsely suggest that Biden believes "Democrats should allow up or down floor votes on [President] Bush's nominees" in all cases. In fact, Biden reiterated his position opposing the use of filibusters to block judicial nominees merely because they are conservative, but supporting the right to filibuster nominees who do not have "a judicial temperament."
Here's what Biden said on the February 27 edition of NBC's Meet the Press:
RUSSERT: If someone has a conservative view, then why would you try to block him from being voted on in the Senate?
BIDEN: I don't think we should try to block him from being voted on in the Senate. Here's the deal. The question is the people I voted on -- against in some of the nine nominees the president sent back up -- not all of them I didn't vote against, but some of them I did -- is because I thought they did not have a judicial temperament, like the justice out of Texas. Now -- but to make it clear, I also sort of set the standard people don't like having been set, saying that for a Supreme Court justice it's a different deal because they're not bound by stare decisis [the doctrine of following legal precedent]. If a district court judge or a circuit court judge says, "I'll be bound by -- even though I have a different view on this issue, that I'll be bound by what the court has said," I'll take them at their word, even though they may have a different personal view, because they can't go beyond what the Supreme Court judgment is. Supreme Court justices, different deal; de novo [judging a matter anew], they can come along and say, "I disagree with the past rulings of the Supreme Court." So it's a different standard for Supreme Court. For the district courts, that's the standard I've applied.
The Daily News article, by staff writer James Gordon Meek, distorted Biden's comments to create the impression that he condemned the use of the filibuster to block any judicial nominees:
Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), a former Judiciary Committee chairman, said Democrats should allow up or down floor votes on Bush's nominees.
"I don't think we should try to block [them] from being voted on in the Senate," Biden told NBC's Meet the Press.
Meek misrepresented Biden's comments in at least two ways. First, contrary to Meek's assertion, Biden neither said nor implied that Democrats should allow up-or-down Senate votes on all Bush nominees. Second, by inserting the word "them" for "him," Meek changed the category of nominee to which Biden was referring. Biden was referring to a hypothetical "conservative" nominee about whom Russert had asked, saying that a nominee's conservatism does not constitute a basis for denying him or her an up-or-down vote. But by inserting the word "them" for the word Biden actually used -- "him" -- Meek suggested that Biden was talking about all Bush nominees. The full context of Biden's remarks makes clear that he was speaking against filibusters based on a nominee's conservatism but in favor of them for nominees who lack a "judicial temperament."

The Canisius College men's basketball team will close out its 2013-14 regular-season series with Marist on Sunday when the Red Foxes travel to the Koessler Athletic Center. Marist handed Canisius its first MAAC loss of the season back on Jan. 6, when the teams met in the McCann Arena in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
• Canisius closes out its brief two-game homestand this afternoon when the Golden Griffins play host to Marist in the Koessler Athletic Center.
• The Griffs are coming off an 87-74 win over long-time rival Niagara Jan. 22. That win, coupled with the team's victory at Niagara Feb. 10, 2013, gives Canisius back-to-back wins over Niagara for the first time since March 2001.
• The Griffs come into this game with an 13-7 overall record and a 7-2 mark in MAAC play.
• Canisius extended its streak of scoring 80 or more points in a game to five straight after posting 87 points on the scoreboard against Niagara. This marks the first time Canisius has scored 80-plus in five-straight games since Jan. 6-20, 1979.
• The Griffs come into today's game averaging 87.0 points per game in their last five contests.
• Canisius senior Billy Baron starts this game ranked fourth in the nation in scoring average with his 23.5 points per game. He had 31 in the win over Niagara, his four 30-plus point effort this season.
• Canisius senior Chris Perez scored 19 points in the win over Niagara Jan. 22. The Griffs are 8-3 this season when he scores in double-figures.
• Senior forward Chris Manhertz recorded his 11th career double-double (second this season) with 14 points and 11 rebounds against Niagara. He comes into today's game two rebounds shy of becoming the ninth player in school history to collect 700-career boards.
• Marist comes into this afternoon's game with a 6-13 overall record and a 3-6 mark in MAAC action. The Red Foxes lost at Niagara on Friday night by the score of 80-74.
• Junior Chavaughn Lewis leads the Red Foxes offense with his 17.1 points per game, which ranks eighth in the MAAC. He scored a game-high 25 points at Niagara on Friday.
• Three Marist players are averaging double-figures in the scoring column, including redshirt freshman Khallid Hart. Hart ranks 18th in the league in scoring average with 13.4 points per game. He's been named the MAAC's Rookie of the Week four times this season.
• Senior Adam Kemp ranks fourth on the team with his 8.8 points per game, but he leads Marist (and ranks fifth in the MAAC) with his 7.6 rebounds per game.
• As a team, Marist ranks ninth in the MAAC in scoring offense and fourth in the league in scoring defense.
• This will be the 39th all-time meeting between Canisius and Marist, with the Golden Griffins holding a 22-16 advantage in the series.
• The Griffs have won nine of the last 13 games between these two programs, dating back to 2008-09.
• Marist defeated Canisius 65-62 when the two teams met in the McCann Arena Jan. 6 to end the Griffs' two-game winning streak in the series.
• These two schools did not play until Marist joined the MAAC prior to the 1997-98 season. Since then, the Griffs are 12-4 at home against the Red Foxes.

So did you get the .45 or the 10mm?
Well, I have never considered myself a gun weirdo but now my partner has declared that I am one. When I get a new gun it usually gets looked at for a few minutes then put in the safe. This time, with my new Dan Weeson Bobtail, I found myself still holding onto it and wiping it down hours later.
This thing is so awesome looking. It is really hard to describe. It also cycles like the slide is on rollers...even though it is the tightest slide fit I have ever seen on any gun. The whole gun just screams perfection. It really is a work of art. It has turned me into one of those gun weirdos that fondles their guns for hours.
Here is my first pic of it. I will have to try again later since I did not do it justice.
Here is a pic my partner took last night of me sitting and wiping it down for the hundredth time. Nothing like cleaning your gun while watching "Squidbillies" on TV.
Look how tightly this puppy is put together.
Not this particular one. I hope to get it to the range very soon.
I put a bobtail on my commander. It makes the frame fit my hand better.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
That is the exact same gun in the same caliber I have been drooling over for about the past 6 months. congrats

Sorry, there are no Kathleen Madigan dates.
Over Kathleen Madigan's 25 year career she has performed on nearly every standup television show ever made. Leno, Letterman, Conan, Ferguson and so on. Her third hour-long special, Madigan Again, which iTunes named one of the Best Comedy Albums of 2013, premiered on September 11 exclusively on Netflix in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Latin America, and is now available on CD, DVD and audio or video download. Previously she's released 4 CDs and 2 DVDs and starred in 2 HBO specials, 3 Comedy Central specials, 3 CMT Salute to the Troops specials with Ron White and her last hour-long special, Gone Madigan, premiered on Showtime and is available on Netflix.
So how is it, the Detroit Free Press asks, "that Madigan has yet to be cast as the wise-cracking a) best friend b) office worker or c) martini-swilling mother-in-law in any of countless sitcoms? We're thinking because it's because she's so irreplaceable on the stage. She's described as the funniest woman doing stand-up right now, but no gender qualifier is necessary. Along with Lewis Black, Brian Regan and Jim Gaffigan, she's one of the funniest stand-up comedians of her generation."
"I just want to tell jokes. I didn't start doing open mics to become an actor on a sitcom or in a tv commercial. Those things never even crossed my mind. I just like to tell jokes for an hour or so and laugh," Madigan says. "For a few of us working today, this was our goal. We don't have anymore goals. Can't you ever have a goal, reach it and then enjoy it? This society is being driven by type A lunatics that say 'you have to set more goals.' No you don't. Have a seat and enjoy the fact that you're here! Maybe that's the Irish in me talking though."
It's been a 25 year career of 300 nights a year on the road. "We don't get time off like a band. Our tours never end. That's why it makes me laugh when people say 'how long is your tour?' Well so far, 25 years." She's gone from one nighters, to club gigs, to theaters, to headlining the Mirage in Las Vegas.
She's won the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller award for "Best Female Comedian." Although she's turned down many writing jobs because she enjoys performing more, she has written and produced for Lewis Black's "Root of all Evil" on Comedy Central and for Gary Shandling's Emmy monologues. She's done two USO tours to Iraq and Afganistan with pals Lewis Black, Robin Williams, John Bowman and musicals acts Kid Rock, The Zac Brown Band, Kix Brooks and Kellie Pickler. "There's no better show on earth than a show for the troops. Trust me, no crowd is as happy to see a show as 1000 soldiers in Kabul. I do USO shows at home here in the US too but the further people are away, the more they appreciate it. I don't think they get paid enough for a hard job so I like to do something for free when I can."
She remains the only comedian in the history of NBC's Last Comic Standing to go unchallenged by any other comedian--meaning no comedian would say they were funnier than her. Madigan was a top three finalist in Season 2 and and a judge on Season 5.
Originally from St. Louis, Missouri and she splits her time between the road, Los Angeles and Missouri.

From HaskellWiki
This page is primarily for recording the conclusions of ongoing design discussions. That is for documenting the internal design of hIDE.
1 Plugins in General
Almost the whole of hIDE will be dynamically loaded, except for a tiny static core which is responsible for bootstrapping the main application and providing a plugin loading service. You can read more about this application architecture in the paper "Dynamic Applications From the Ground Up".
Plugins will be ["Cabal"] packages. This provides a number of advantages over simple object files:
- Provides a build infrastructure
- Allows plugins to depend on each other easily
- Allows plugins to be built seperately or "out of tree"
- Provides useful metadata like author, description, license etc
- Big advantage: anyone who's written a cabalised library potentially has written a plugin for us. All they need then do is work out a gui wrapper (perhaps we should provide a skeleton for this).
2 Base components
2.1 The bootup sequence
3 Project management
Desired features:
- No import overhead. Must work with all Cabal projects without any user interaction.
- Nice interface for running Cabal commands like 'build', 'haddock' and 'test'.
- Management of the meta info in *.cabal.
- GUI independance. That is the project management API exposed to other hIDE components should not depend on the GUI.
4 Editor
4.1 Yi
The core editor functionality will be provided by Yi, which provides both a standalone editor along the lines of vi or a stripped down emacs, and also a plugin interface.
5 Dependencies, and plugin structure
darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/gtk2hs/
darcs get http://scannedinavian.org/repos/yi/
6 Desirable Plugins
Add more as you think of them:
- The GHC api.
- TeX typesetting (Easier if you have syntax tree available)
- HaRe ( automatic refactoring )
- Darcs ( revision control )
- Pugs ( perl scripting )
- GHCi ( haskell scripting )
- On-the-fly haddockizing?
- Cabal management, a la VH
- Hoogle
- Pointless ( Thomas Jaeger's pointfree refactorer)
- Support for construction of QuickChecks
- Ginsu? (very emacs-ish ;)
- Jump-to-definition in standard library
- Spell checking comments
- auto indenting based on pretty printing the syntax tree
- module dep graph as a module browser view
- compilation via ghc-api (with -fasm)
- automatic insertion of type declarations for expressions
- automatic handling of minimal module imports
- talking to external theorem provers, for example, a la ProofGeneral
- alternating background colour based on bracket level as part of syntax highlighting (syntax backlighting?)
- Harmonia (http://harmonia.cs.berkeley.edu/harmonia/index.html), which gives advanced language-aware facilities
7 Division of labour
Notes on who is doing what, and anything that is unassigned:
- dcoutts
- develop the UI
- help with misc gtk issues
- config subsystem
- dons
- get yi back into 100% functionality (fill out the broken Yi.Core)
- complete yi gui based on gtk (i.e. minibuffers, window splitting etc)
- indenting plugin based on Ppr
- embed ghci
- clean interface to syntax highlighting in Yi,
- get quickcheck tests working with new gtk buffer
- plugin/standalone-neutral access to ui
- Reducing dependences
- pugs plugin for perl scripting?
- look at darcs plugin
- lemmih
- CommonSense
- project management / build support / cabal integration
- unassigned
- win32 support. See ["hIDE/Win32"]

Multiple instances
From HaskellWiki
1 Question
I like to define multiple type class instances for the same pair of class and type. How is it possible?
2 Answer
You can achieve it if you keep class and type definitions in other modules than the instance declarations. These instances are then called orphan instances. However you won't be lucky with this solution, since you must ensure, that two modules with conflicting instances declarations are never imported together, since instance declarations are automatically imported and cannot be hidden. Even more also modules which import conflicting modules only indirectly conflict itself. It is also not possible to define instances with respect to different type parameter orders,as it is required for type constructor classes like
Thus multiple instances should be avoided, and a safe way to do this is to avoid orphan instances.You can achieve this by wrapping the type in a
If you do not fear language extensions you can simplify this task considerably using the
GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving feature.
The custom instance can be defined for the class/newtype pair and it is not orphan, if it is defined where newtype is introduced.

Greetings all.
I have been looking over several threads where many of you have posted your helmets that you have been meticulously painting. To say I am impressed is a major understatement!
I am going to be getting a MS kit for my helmet, but am really intimidated in terms of painting it. I have painted a few helmets already but they are relatively "simple" like a TIE Pilot and converting a Rubies Clone Trooper in to an Arc Trooper... None of them are anywhere near the complexity or intricasy of the ESB Fett paint job.
I just hope that I can somehow do a good job and paint a helmet that would at least come close to the masterpieces I have seen here.
Suffice it to say, my skills are abismal. I have a little skill at painting models (have made the SpeederBike w/ Scout model look like my Scout Costume and built the AT-AT). I do have a Testors airbrush, but my skills are not much better than using it as a glorified aresol spray paint.
I'll try to post pictures of my progess, however, I have no confidence in my abilities at all.

CHAPEL HILL, NC - No. 25 Carolina swept the weekend series against Virginia with a 2-1 victory in game three on Sunday, improving to 31-13 on the season and 9-3 in ACC play.
Virginia stuck first in both games Saturday, but it was the Tar Heels got on the board early in game three. Elisha Elliott started things off with a single to second base and advanced when Aquilla Mateen hit a bunt single. Amber Parrish doubled down the left field line to bring in Parrish and Mateen, giving Carolina the early 2-0 lead.
After holding the Cavliers for four innings, Virginia responded with a solo shot to center by Kristen Hawkins in the top of the fifth inning, but the Tar Heels held on for the final two innings for the 2-1 win.
Reaching the 200-strikeout mark in today's game, Lori Spingola tossed all seven innings, recording five Ks and giving up two hits and one run.
Carolina closes out a 10-game home stand this Wednesday, April 10, as the Tar Heels host Elon at 6 p.m. UNC then travels to Raleigh for a series next weekend against NC State on April 13 and 14.

Vincent Garrett Earns NCAA Legislative Relief Waiver
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay men's basketball senior Vincent Garrett has received an NCAA Legislative Relief Waiver and will be eligible to compete for the Phoenix in the 2013-14 season. Garrett transferred to Green Bay following his junior campaign at Rutgers University.
The NCAA's ruling not only allows Garrett to be eligible to play this season, but the 6-foot-6 guard will also suit up and compete during Green Bay's foreign tour to the Bahamas from Aug. 25-30.
"I'm happy for Vince that he was granted this waiver and will be able to play this season," said head men's basketball coach Brian Wardle. "Vince joined our program this summer and has displayed many positive characteristics on and off the court. He has fit in immediately in the locker room, and on the court his experience, toughness and ability will be welcomed additions."
Garrett, a Chicago native, is a 2010 graduate of Marshall High School, where he was a teammate of current Phoenix players Keifer Sykes and Alfonzo McKinnie.
After graduating from Marshall, Garrett started his collegiate career at Lee Junior College in Baytown, Texas, under head coach Roy Champagne. An All-Region South Zone First Team pick as a sophomore in 2011-12, the athletic, scoring wing averaged 16 points, six rebounds and two assists per game and helped the Rebels to a 19-12 overall record.
Garrett signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play at Rutgers in April of 2012, and appeared in 12 games for the Scarlet Knights as a junior last season, averaging 1.5 points per contest.
As a senior at Marshall High School under head coach Henry Cotton, he averaged 16 points and 11 rebounds per game to earn All-Public honors and help the Commandos to a 28-7 record. Along with Sykes and McKinnie, Garrett aided Marshall to an appearance in the 2010 city championship game, a regional title and a third-place finish in the Class 3A State Tournament. He also posted a strong performance in the 2010 Chicago High School All-Star Classic, registering 12 points and nine rebounds.
Garrett was highly-touted coming out junior college, reportedly receiving scholarship offers from Oregon State, Texas A&M and UNLV in addition to Rutgers.

Time of Poss.
BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Freshman kicker John Griggs punched in a 33-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to break a 14-14 deadlock and the Bridgewater College defense got a late hold as the Eagles moved to 3-0 on the season with a 17-14 victory over the visiting Shenandoah Hornets in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) opener.
The win marked head coach Michael Clark's 120th career victory.
Both teams locked up in a classic defensive slugfest but Shenandoah (1-3, 0-1 ODAC) used a bit of trickery to get into Bridgewater territory early in the first quarter. With a fourth and two at their own 40, Hornets punter Cory Gay faked the punt and threw a 32-yard strike to Sean Blackman to push Shenandoah into Bridgewater territory.
Bridgewater's (3-0) defense pushed the Hornets back and forced a turnover on downs to keep the game scoreless midway through the opening frame.
The Eagles used the momentum from the defensive hold to go on a nine play, 66 yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead late in the first. Bridgewater's scoring drive was capped off by a 27-yard strike from junior Willie Logan to sophomore wide receiver Tyler Moneymakeron a big fourth-down conversion.

Bloomquist to return to Seattle on 2-year deal
The Mariners have yet to announce the signing, which will become official once Bloomquist passes a physical exam.
Bloomquist, a Washington native who spent the first seven years of his career with the Mariners, appeared in just 48 games last season for the Arizona Diamondbacks due to injuries and hit .317.
The 36-year-old is one of the more versatile players in the game, though, having appeared at every position except pitcher and catcher during his career.
Bloomquist would likely provide depth in the middle of the infield for the Mariners, who have youngsters Nick Franklin and Brad Miller at second base and shortstop, respectively.
Through a 12-year career with the Mariners, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds and Diamondbacks, Bloomquist owns a .271 average with a .320 on-base percentage, 103 doubles, 17 home runs, 207 runs batted in, 131 stolen bases and 381 runs scored.
