Kanu v Middlesbrough (A) 04-24-1999
Many of the greatest goals in Arsenal history are such because of their importance: match winners, cup winners, or securing a valuable point. Our latest Golden Goal was none of those. But even though it was an 'unimportant' fifth goal in a 6-1 Arsenal victory, the sheer genius of the finish secures its place on the list.
Arsenal travelled to Middlesbrough on April 24, 1999 off the heels of a 5-1 thrashing of Wimbledon the week before. And with Arsène Wenger's side battling with Manchester United for top of the League, the Gunners had no intention of taking their foot off the gas on Teesside.
Marc Overmars started the rout from the spot in the fourth minute before Nicolas Anelka, Kanu and Patrick Vieira put Arsenal well out of sight.
Then, on the hour-mark, Kanu stole the show with a flash of brilliance.
The lanky Nigerian played a role in the build-up, pirouetting away from danger inside the Boro half to feed Overmars on the right. After a quick exchnage with Ray Parlour, the Dutchman whipped a low cross towards Kanu in the center.
In truth, it was far from the best cross Overmars ever played. But Kanu didn't miss a beat. Despite a Boro defender marking him closely, Kanu let the ball run between his legs and cheekily back-heeled it past Mark Schwarzer and into the bottom corner.
Few in the Arsenal squad would have attempted it, even fewer would have pulled it off.

The most controversial of the 25 new rules adoptions is Proposal 13-3, which "eliminate[s] restrictions on methods and modes of communication during recruiting, meaning no texting barriers, quiet periods or dead periods."
Starting on August 1st every college football program in the country will be allowed to call or text a prospect any time they want to, any time of day on any day of the year.
What is 'common sense' about that? It's like pouring gasoline on a five-alarm fire.
"It's absolutely reckless," said Duke head coach David Cutcliffe. "It's [the new rules] completely unreasonable. What I believe it's going to do is cause unintended consequences. I don't understand the logic behind this. Why would anybody be in favor of this? Who wants it? I don't understand it. It's not going to stop cheaters because cheaters will cheat."
Here in lies the problem, there's a major disconnect between the NCAA brass and coaches. It's clearly night and day.
"These new rules represent noteworthy progress toward what can only be described as more common sense rules that allow schools more discretion in decision-making," said Mark Emmert, The NCAA President. "This vote by the Board of Directors refocuses our attention on the things that really matter, the core values of intercollegiate athletics."
That's a complete cop-out by the NCAA. It's as if they resigned themselves to the fact that they can't police every school when monitoring communication between college coach and recruit. Remember, texting was banned a few years ago. So now they leveled the playing field by deregulating the communication rules. Now there will be none. This fall will mark the beginning of utter chaos for football prospects.
"I think it's ridiculous," said Shane Beamer, Virginia Tech's associate head coach and running backs coach. "Three years ago text messaging was not so good and the NCAA banned it. Now it's great and it will be no holds barred. This is absolutely crazy to me. Tell me how this helps when a prospect gets unlimited calls and texts? The high school coaches don't like it. The college coaches don't like it. And I know the recruits won't like it. This is the NCAA basically saying here, just don't buy them."
Its nuts to think what life will be like for the prospects in the next few classes. Recruiting is hard enough as it is. The media coverage is greater than ever. There are four major recruiting networks out there and countless others covering it harder and better than ever before.
Now because of this irresponsible decision by the NCAA these kids will be hounded practically 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This time it won't be just from recruiting services. Add the recruiters to the mix. So many coaches will want to be the first to say good morning and the last to say goodnight. In between, recruits will be hammered with texts and phones calls, all continuing to pitch their program, day after day after day.
"Oh boy, that's going to be very unfair to those recruits," said Michael Hutchings (Concord, Calif./De La Salle), a linebacker in the Class of 2013 who's headed to USC. "Those new rules will allow recruiting to take over their lives. They will have no time for space and I can see it spinning completely out of control because it will be tough to deal with the pressure. At some point they are not going to want to pick up their phone at all."
Prospects will like all the attention at first. They always do. Then at some point recruits will slowly shut it down. Moms and dads, uncles and aunts, grandparents, whoever is involved in the decision or in the player's inner circle will all get sucked into the recruiting process as they always do. They, along with the high school coach and even street handler, will all carry more burden than ever because the prospects themselves will never be able to keep pace with the process. The recruiters will identify who assists in the decision and they will become targeted. It's always been that way because a good recruiter will know who else to recruit.
"For me this is overkill," said Earl Garcia, head coach at Tampa Hillsborough High School. "You don't need to call or text a kid that much. But they [coach] will. They have to because it's about keeping up with the Joneses. Maybe it will be like the mail. I throw 100s of [college] letters away. After a while the kids do that same. The same could happen with the phone. They will answer the calls at first and then they won't. I don't know. I just know they are going to get bombarded.
"It's a whole different thing now, especially with social media. This is nothing but complicating a prospect's life. This is just another thing that gets in the way of reality."
Bobby Carroll can tell you a little bit about reality and what life is like for an elite college football prospect. In 2011 Carroll was the head coach of Rock Hill (S.C.) South Pointe. His star player was the nation's top recruit, Jadeveon Clowney. What would it be like if Clowney's recruitment was under these new rules with no rules when it comes to contact?
"It would be horrible, just horrible," said Carroll, now coaching at York (S.C.). "Do you know what it was like two years ago with the rules in place? Clowney and I were hearing from schools all over the place. I can't imagine what things would be like for Clowney with no rules. I feel sorry for all those guys. It's going to be irritating as hell. They are going to absolutely hate it and go crazy."
Not every recruit is Clowney. Not every recruit is Reuben Foster and Robert Nkemdiche, two of this year's top prospects. Most of the kids with a handful of offers will be pursued by those schools as well as teams that want to keep them on the hook, with a scholarship offer a potential reality down the road. This makes up a vast majority.
So how will a college staff handle the new workload? Enter Proposal 11-2, which further flames the fire. This - allows for football programs to hire a recruiting coordinator and support staff separate from the coaching staff, any of whom can partake in all recruiting activities save for off-campus visits.
"I am already hearing coaches are looking to add player personnel to their staffs," said Larry Fedora said, North Carolina's head coach. "It's crazy and I am unsure right now how we will handle it. First, I need to sit down and understand everything. Then we have to meet as a staff and meet with our AD and come up with a plan."
Let be perfectly honest here, these rules adoptions will further separate the haves and have nots in the world of college football. Schools with big money will soon expand their support staff. Many will mirror the equivalent of an NFL player personnel department with the sole focus of recruiting.
The hypocrisy of it all is that on one hand you have the NCAA upping eligibility requirements and now, on the other hand you have these new rules or lack of. How does a perspective student-athlete balance both when the institution that is supposed to protect them opens up Pandora's box?
To further complicate matters the NCAA has tabled a proposal to allow college's to begin contacting these kids July 1st after their sophomore season. When passed, it will give programs almost two full years to fully recruit/communicate with these kids. In essence there will be no break from the process. There will be no break for the coaches and no break for the recruits.
"The reality is this, just how mature are 15-year olds to handle this," Cutcliffe said. "Seriously. Someone didn't think this through. They are asking these kids to do better in school and become more responsible."
The process has accelerated to the point of being out of control. On August 1st we will hit another speed. The next issue on the table will be official visits and allowing those to take place during the prospects junior seasons. Reading between the lines someone is covertly laying the foundation for an early signing period.
"In my mind that's exactly what's taking place," said one un-named college coach. "I don't know who they talked to or what kind of research they did in coming up with these new rules but they didn't talk to Nick Saban. They didn't talk to Urban Meyer. They didn't talk with Les Miles. They didn't talk with any coaches. They knew exactly what they would say, that this is the stupidest thing the NCAA has ever done."
The irony here is that recruiting is about finding prospects with upside. There is no upside whatsoever in these new adoptions, none whatsoever, not for the coaches or recruits. It's the worst idea in a long list of bad ideas from the NCAA.
"It's like we are going back to the way things were 20 years ago," said Brian Polian, Nevada's new head coach. "This is going to be overwhelming for the kids and the coaches are going to have no-time away from the office anymore when they had very little before. There will be zero time away from the job. This is unbelievable."
The perfect storm is brewing. It's as if we are watching the Weather Channel and there's a category 5 hurricane barreling through the Atlantic and heading our way. You can see it and prepare yourself for what's coming but you really don't know how you are going to handle it until it hits.
"I am kind of bracing myself," said Jacques Patrick (Orlando Timber Creek), one of the top running backs in the 2015 class who already holds 18 scholarship offers. "I know it's gonna be pretty crazy and I am going to do everything I can so that it doesn't get out of hand."

To every generation of youth comes a time when adults regard them as unable or unwilling to adhere to the high standards of behavior that adults met in their own youthful times. After World War II, British adults were shocked at the actions of the infamous "Teddy Boys" who apparently ran wild. Of course, then came the notorious Beatles who set youth on a wild orgy of drugs and sexual promiscuity. Now, a study by the British children's charity, Barnardos, reveals 54% of adults claim young people "behave like animals." Slightly less than half believe youth is a danger to themselves and to adults while 43% urge protecting young people against their own evil inclinations. according to Pam Hibbert of the charity, "the truth is that young people in Britain are responsible for 12% of crime. But, the public overestimate that by a factor of four with people believing the young commit half of all crime. So a major part of the problem here is question of perception."
In every generation it is important to believe youth simply is not as peaceful and decent and law abiding as the current one. Of course, it was the adult British population which sent their young people into the madness of the Iraq war and it was adults who created the current economic crisis. Youth will never get a fair reaction from adults.
In the 1950s, adults in the United States and the UK, believed it was evil comic books that set young people into orgies of crime.

I know Van Creveld's Command in War has a bit about Napolean at Jena. If memory serves, shorty gave detailed orders to some of his commanders (the less bright ones), gave shorter ones to his better commanders (go east, find enemy, attack, you can figure out the rest yourself), and essentially forgot about others during the battle.

If you're interested in bringing in civilian/corporate thoughts on this, consider looking at some of the methods that agile development teams use to create software. Some of them (Scrum in particular) are fairly work-agnostic - they provide a good framework for teams to accomplish things with minimal management overhead, regardless of whether you're coding or trying to figure out how to achieve the commander's intent. What's most interesting to me about the agile frameworks is how they keep the manager closely tied with the team for determining goals, while keeping managers away from the team for implementation specifics.

Gabriel Fauré
Fantaisie op. 79 and Morceau de lecture for Flute and Piano
Editor: Annette Oppermann

Fauré's exquisite Fantaisie is one of the jewels in chamber music for which we are indebted to his time at the Paris Conservatoire. The flute professor there, Paul Taffanel, had asked his colleague for a virtuoso examination piece. Fauré presented him with the manuscript in 1898 with the explicit indication "to modify unplayable passages" before using it in the exam. As the autograph score no longer exists, we do not know what and how much Taffanel might have changed; however, the result is a brilliant recital piece. In our edition we have added a little Adagio without opus number that Fauré also composed in 1898 for the exams at the Conservatoire as a sight-reading piece.

The levels of difficulty of the flute music published by G. Henle Publishers
"The task is easy - yet easy is difficult"
("Zwar ist es leicht, doch ist das Leichte schwer")
Goethe has Mephisto say this in "Faust II" and the categorizing of musical works according to their levels of difficulty is thus relative in the extreme! Relative – depending on the perspective of a teacher, a student or a performer; nevertheless using our Henle criteria we are trying to differentiate between works, grading them according to whether they are easy, medium or difficult. This classification system is intended as an orientation and a help for those trying to find a suitable work amongst all of the excellent Urtext editions. In order not to be daunted by pieces with the level of difficulty 9, perhaps we might somewhat subjectively claim that with practice Goethe's quotation may be reversed: "The task is difficult, yet difficult [may become] easy [too]!"

yes you can enable this feature by clicking on "forum actions" (top of page menus, under the blue stripe) and then selecting "edit profile".
you'll be linked to your settings.
on the left panel's menus, look for "general settings"
scroll down to "Default Thread Subscription Mode" and set it to "instantly, using email"
this will get you email notifications everytime someone else posts in a thread you've posted in. (this process is called "subscribing" to a thread)
you can later on manage your thread subscriptions in your "my subscriptions" folder which can also be found by clicking on "forum actions" (top of page menus, under the blue stripe) and then selecting "edit profile".
Who knows what goes into a small time graff investigation in a small town with no dedicated vandal squad? As far as I've seen they just do a lot of picture taking and ask for info around schools/ in the paper. I really don't see what they can do even if they see a couple random sketches in your notebook.
what time is best to go painting, i know as late as possible, but what time do u usually go? would 9.30-10.00pm be too early?
still alot of people out then. 12 - 3 is good but i find the best time is from 3 - 6 am, nobodys out at all except for taxis
And drunk people. But always be careful.
wat are some good qaulity/high end markers to use for black book work i see alot of people doing fades with markers an the crappy ultra fine tip sharpy im useing wont do shit but bleed over every thing
different spots get painted at different times, find a god damn marker you like. somebody answer the one question asked on this page so far that has been asked one million times instead of five
Alright i doubt anyone has an answer but im really confused. I went on amazon with a $25 gift card and bought $26 and some change worth of junk, but the order still processed and is shipping. Then, just to see what the hell was happeneing, i put something worth $50 in my cart and went to the checkout screen and it said the card had enough money on it to buy it...but the card is only supposed to have $25? it's a debit card so it should have ran out of money, idk if its being confused with a credit card?
any one know any good graff movies where they go through piecing techniques
Mo-Town bombers PM me
Eh nevermind reality just burnt me.
hahaha you get charged for ALL dat junk colors?
lol mori i waas scared i was going to be charged because i also got like $80 worth from the bs store cuz i thought it was all free... haha. Amazon just gave me an email and said the card got rejected, im hoping bombingscience gives me a similar email soon so i can stop wondering.
If it's debit the bs charge should also be rejected, unless it's a real debit (not american express gift card) with overdraft 'privileges'. Either way you should be able to check the statements online and see whats going on.
edit- i just re read your original post, since it's a gift card you just have to check the balance on the company's site. But don't even worry about it, you're not connected to the card in any identifiable/liable way, they can't come after to collect if their program fucked up.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Microscopes are to microbiology what telescopes are to astronomy.
The earliest microscopes were simple instruments consisting of one or more crude glass lenses similar to those used to make early spectacles. The invention of the first true microscope is credited to the Jansen family of Middleburg, Holland, around 1595.
Later, in the 17th century, Dutch cloth merchant and amateur scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek enlightened the world to what he dubbed "animacules" such as protozoa found in standing water. Using microscopes he made himself, Leeuwenhoek wrote up what he viewed in pond water, plant material, even gunk scraped off his teeth. He was the first to identify sperm and red blood cells.
There are two basic types of microscopes: light microscopes and electron microscopes.

So my girlfriend wasn't completely happy with her current Zam armor. So she asked me to go ahead and help her make some better stuff. And since I've been on co-op (interning) at everybody's favorite toy company right now and don't have homework to worry about, I've been sculpting and casting away. I've never done any type of armor work that I did completely through on my own fom scratch. Working with clay is tougher then it looks! But these are the finished product. I'll be sending them back home to my girl in the next few days. She's going to paint the purple parts and assemble them. I just rub n buffed them, weathered them, and added hinge segments to the guantlets. So here's the pics:
the final parts plus some of the surviving sculpt parts and molds:
And a shot or two of some of the parts in progress:
Hope you guys out there in dented helmet land approve!

Just finished this one. Next up, Crotch Armor
Looking good
I'll refrain from saying I can't wait to see your crotch.
Very nice work on that piece of armor.
Gotta be careful how to word compliments on the 2 pieces of armor you're workin' on!

Well that would be a good idea, if you had the option of both so if your internet is down you would still have the shit on your computer.
But then again it's EA.
It's like EA want to be hated.
Just one more step towards ensuring you don't actually own the game that you bought. The optimistic part of me doesn't think this has a snowball's chance in hell at working but I've been surprised before.
Another DRM scheme, another fun challenge for pirates
In practise this sounds like a good idea to them, but how exactly will this work when they keep shutting down servers of games that are just a few years old? Where are they suddenly getting this extra capacity from?
I guess when they implement that is time when I stop buying EA games.
Oh, my internet's not working. Guess I play ME3 Singleplayer then.
EA, you are brilliantly daft.
As in nothing is installed on your PC and you stream the game from a server?
If not only EA; but all video game companies has been more like CD Projekt with DRM, the world would be a better place.
At least the gaming part of the world.
you know.......man..........like...FUCK!
Guys, the bottom of the article says that the bit about Onlive style streaming isn't true.
In other news, you should hear Gabe Newell's response when asked if he thinks Origin is doing anything particularly well right now. It starts like this: "uh.......................................uh...... ........................"
"I just can't understand why we got voted worst company in America!"
drm drm drm drm drm drm drm
no man we dont need to make good games we need to make sure people cant pirate our shitty ones
I didn't buy expensive hardware to STREAM games. They can go fuck themselves. Ill never buy a stream only game, but rather better hardware.
I bet it will be streamed at 30FPS min quality.
So let´s see:
-Having a high-end hardware configuration is useless.
-No mods/maps/tweaks for games.
-They'll probably stop serving for a game after 2 years more or less because this is what usually happens.
On the bright side, they'll probably make games cheaper because of all of this......lol just kidding, it will still be expensive as fuck.
It seems the only one getting it right is Gabe regarding the issue of pirating.
More power to kickstarter and crowdfunding
But I agree this is awful. Even though almost everybody has internet access right now there are still times when you don't have it. If I got it right it will also prevent modding. Something that actually helps a game be alive.
Same idea here, if people stopped buying games with stupid DRM then perhaps EA would..you know...stop putting stupid DRM on games?
I hope he's just stating it badly. Because it sounds retarded as fuck. How backwards can you be lol.
This is some more relevant parts of the article.
Oh good, because pirates won't possibly get around this.
It's like EA just wants to lose money. Pirates will clearly get a much better experience, so why bother buying?
So wait? can i look forward to Crysis3 or should i forget its going to exist?
Cause i like my games i buy to be on my hard drive.
I'd like to point out this is already pretty much the situation with Diablo 3 from blizzard.
While the graphical powerhouse processing runs on the client PC stuff that's needed to actually run the game (enemy AI and a slew of other things) are run server side.
I'd also like to point out the always online DRM for Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 is BLOODY AWFUL.
Go on EA, do it. I would love to see the video games market crash again.
My Internet Usage Bandwidth Cap says otherwise
OnLive is cool, but data caps ruin it. Like, majorly since it uses 5 Mbp/s
fuck <3 ea
Just another step towards handing over money without actually owning any games
This makes me WANT to pirate their games.. idiots..
by this point, the only thought that passes through my head is "LOL FUCK EA"
I remember when Activision was the foremost most hated videogame company.

This tiny fertile deposit, combined with the major underlying soil structure of granite in the mountains and Table Mountain Sandstone, culminated... Read More.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2010
General Law Provisions
Supplemental Acts to the Revenue and Taxation Code
Stats. 1971, Ch. 1762
Stats. 1971, Ch. 1762—An act relating to exemptions from taxation.
Section 1. Department of Finance to prepare report of tax structure showing reduction of base because of exemptions, etc. The Department of Finance is directed to prepare a report which contains an outline of the California tax structure describing the state and local revenue bases and their relationship to present deductions, credits, exclusions, exemptions and preferential rates designed to achieve various social and economic objectives but which constitute tax expenditures from the state and local revenue base.
The department's prepared report should contain a general statement as to the approximate amount, if precise figures or estimates are not available, of reduction in the tax base to either local government or to state general and special funds occurring by the operation of such deductions, credits, exclusions, exemptions and preferential rates. The department is authorized to request from the various agencies of the state whatever information is necessary to facilitate the completion of this portion of the report.
Sec. 2. Recommendations. The department shall include in its report recommendations of alternative means to enlarge upon the initial, exploratory report in future years and the estimated cost of each alternative. The department should also include recommendations of how this information may be utilized to improve the format of the budget. Information concerning tax expenditures should be related to the various levels of California government.
Sec. 3. Legislative intent. The intent of this act is to explore an extension of the budget to include state and local tax expenditure made through the structure of the tax system. The present tax structure contains a number of special deductions, credits, exclusions, exemptions, and preferential rates. These provisions serve ends similar in nature to those served by direct state and local expenditures. A tax expenditure has an effect on the private economy and an impact on the budget surplus or deficiency as a direct increase in expenditures. But since tax expenditures are not disclosed in the budget, they are not exposed to the public and are not subject to needed annual scrutiny in the budgetary process. The Legislature intends that this report be a step toward the eventual inclusion in the annual state budget of tax expenditures through the tax structure.
Sec. 4. Report submitted annually. The report required by this act shall be submitted to the Legislature on or before March 30, 1972. After 1972, an updated report shall be submitted every two years on or before March 30.
History.—Enacted by Stats. 1971, p. 3810, in effect December 8, 1971.

bushmaster.223/5.56 8-32x56 ill mil dot scope
You sure got some fine looking toys.:drooling:
well thank you. its a start i guess next is that new beretta cx4 in .45
How do you like the Bushmaster? I've been looking at the predator model. How accurate does it shoot? Is it reliable? What load do you prefer in it (weight, brand, and .223 or 5.56)? Sorry for all the questions, but as I said I'm looking at one and like it, I just would like to know more about it before I drop $1k+ on it. Thanks!
By the way, nice collection.
Well, it's a start.
mike, I love this one. it is the varminter and I have not had any trouble with it. it is as accurate as you can hold it steady for. a friend who is on the swat team here has shot sub 11/2 moa at 300 yards with it.Of course thats with his loads.not sure what they were (secret sh**) I get about 21/2 moa with them. I use winchester 55gr 5.56, remington 55gr .223, and 62gr a/p in 5.56 that are surplus.I want to try heavier rounds/loads to see how the weapon likes them. the 8-32x56 ill mil-dot scope works great. I bought mine in a pawn shop (it was new and unfired) for $800. kinda beats the $1000+ new and it had a scope to boot. not the current one though.
love the mossberg.

i didn't realize i was ripping this off. i honestly found this picture and drew over it. i did use it for inspiration but guess i didn't change it enough.
Indeed, you do suck at art.
But I still think you are oversimplifying it a bit. The gears need to go somewhere and the smoke needs to come from someplace. Otherwise it fits the theme, apparently.
Woot gets to decide what fits and what doesn't. It is their derby after all.
In my opinion, strict adherence to the true Steampunk style would greatly limit the design possibilities. And then it would not be much of a contest, either. Well maybe an art contest, but that is not the point of this site.
Re: Steampunk Dragon
For my second ever entry, I wanted to try doing a steampunk dragon with a twist, so I did it Eastern style. This took a stupidly huge amount of time to do (probably twenty hours) so I really hope you guys like this. I really, really need to work on drawing faster. x_x

Re: Let's Play
damnit ramy, i mite be on your side but i still dont understand why the woot community is bent on voting for artists...
i understand why ur doin this but i implore you, make a new account and try selling shirts on it. Prove. Me. Wrong.
and whoever is voting on this... care about the theme, because shirt.woot apparently doesnt.
It's always nice to see elitists rear their ugly heads and pigeon-hole a style into some specific definition that only leaves room for their narrow ideas.
Considering the era the red riding hood story comes from, I think this image is definitely steam punk.
Spikam wrote:I think this design would look much better on a black shirt instead of a red
Likely so, but without the red, the joke would be lost.
(What joke? Well, Fe is the chemical symbol for iron.)
Love it, Spyder!
I do like it and let me be the first to say GMV.
Re: Steamworks Operatica
Drakxxx, your designs are the first ones I look for every derby. I voted for this, will vote for the resub, and will buy if it prints.
Haha! Good stuff.
I feel like a lot of designers who weren't really familiar with steampunk before the topic was announced didn't really take time do their research before designing, wanting to get something in as soon as the derby opened. Gears and steam probably just sprang easily into the design.
Anyway, GMV
I think what is missing is that the thumbnail actually focuses on the steampunk part of the design, therefore giving some sort of implication people were voting for something steampunk. It would have been far superior to just have your thumbnail show a random other image on the shirt so they could vote for it without realizing how on theme it was.
Re: Steampunk Kitty
Hilarious expression
Re: The Idea
I like the idea of steampunk being an open to interpretation thing. I mean, we could say "it has to have this, this and this" but that would limit designs so much.
Just disgusting. Woot is a site that so blatantly doesn't care about the artist or artwork and runs purely for the money. They don't give a shhit if good art gets rejected for miniscule reasons and the same unoriginal off-topic guppy gets printed by Ramyb and Sekiyoku every week. Its really disgusting.
The whole idea of a one day contest just shows that they don't care to produce quality products. Most every design they print is drastically unresolved because the way they set up their contest demands it.
I guess the only thing that I'm glad about this rejection is that hopefully it makes other people see what, I felt, has been blatantly obvious for so long.

Re: Of the Moment
this looks amazing! Awesome job and good luck!
Love this design! The color looks more red to me, and I'd certainly prefer that to orange.
It's a cool design, but it is not steampunk. I didn't even know what the smokestacks were until I read the comments. It just looks like stylized hair.
I can't picture Woot not rejecting this. The whole point of the derby is to make art that explores a theme, and this one really fails to adhere to that theme. Bottom line for me, if I saw it on a shirt, I would think Medieval-fantasy-adventure, not steampunk.
I love sekiyoku's stuff, and this too is great artwork, but it absolutely does not follow the theme. And there are so many really creative submissions that work within the constraints of steampunk this week that I think it would be a shame if this one ended up being printed.
mllemeranii wrote:I've been thinking of moving on from woot shirts (to put more attention into other shirt sites) for a long time now. This pretty much takes the cake. Woot, rejectionator, whoever, you seriously omgwin!. The fact that you reject this, for something as minute (come on, it was obviously asphalt) as this, when at least 2 shirts currently in the fog right now aren't even on theme says that you have no respect whatsoever for the artists, and care solely about money.
Drak, I hope you get this printed elsewhere, because I was definitely going to shell out 10$ (15$ if it sold out before I could get to it) next weekend. Let us know where we can find this!
Amen to your entire post. I would say more but I'm a bit too angry to.

Not a shirt color we offer? Asphalt? Since when does Woot not offer asphalt?

It would have been far superior to just have your thumbnail show a random other image on the shirt so they could vote for it without realizing how on theme it was.
With the cumulative gravity of the ironies of adder's submission and those in bluchez's comment, I almost feel like this entry could collapse upon itself and create a rip in space-time.
If this entry gets hit by the rejectionator, all bets are off: an instant black hole of irony will be created, from which no off-theme entries can escape.
(I should be on drugs. At least that would explain why I'm making so little sense.)
Re: Cloudmaker
Great line art and detailing. The dragon looks wicked steampunk! GMV.
Re: Combustible Prey
Bummed that this got knocked out of the fog. I have nothing against the ramy/seki duo personally, but man is it ever difficult for some of the best work here to get printed when they're both entering a derby, sometimes with multiple entries. Right now, they're three out of four entries in the fog
Back on topic, loopy, really feeling this design. Great execution of a rather clever idea. When I first noticed that the coal in the lion's belly was aflame, I got hit w/ teh lulz.
Worst. Rejection. Ever.
Hope you get a resub up soon, Drakxxx.
I'd like it better with the more subdued colors...on the t-shirt comp, it looks very bright orange?
Re: the steam punk (re-sub)
Love the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea feel. This is one of the few designs this week that actually feels steampunk. I hope it moves up this week!

I finally got to Nordstrom's customer service and the dress and jacket I infamously bought in May were reduced by.....$330. Meaning that beautiful dress and jacket cost me a little more than $400, which I think is entirely reasonable. Another heartfelt cheer for Nordstrom. They keep their promises!

My approach to Christian counseling is from an integrative perspective. What this means is while I use clinical interventions and theory, it is with an understanding of a Christian worldview. While I was being trained as a professional counselor, my graduate coursework also included theology as my degree was awarded by Dallas Theological Seminary. This training provides proven clinical interventions in keeping with the Christian values of my clients. Seminary training has allowed me to understand the role of faith and a range of beliefs within the Christian worldview. If you have any questions as to how this would apply in session, please feel free to ask me.

IMS's Forest Refuge
The program
IMS's Forest Refuge has continuously hosted experienced meditators since 2003. Its program is specifically designed to encourage sustained, longer-term retreat practice – a key component in the transmission of Buddhism from Asia to the West.
Within a harmonious and secluded environment, meditators can nurture the highest aspiration for liberation. In consultation with visiting insight meditation teachers, a program of training in one or more Theravada Buddhist practices is created for each participant, allowing the continuing unfolding of deeper levels of wisdom and compassion. A personal retreat here strengthens practice faith, confidence and self-reliance.
Participants are welcome to apply for retreat periods ranging from seven nights to stays of a year or more. We require a minimum stay of seven nights. Retreatant feedback suggests, however, that a stay of 10-14 nights or longer is beneficial to deepening practice and supports a more fruitful retreat.
Listen (Download, Stream) to former Teacher-in-Residence Sky Dawson talk about life on retreat at the Forest Refuge.
The facility
Careful consideration was given to the design and construction of the center. A beautiful meditation hall is nestled in the woods with several walking meditation rooms close by. There is single-room accommodation for up to thirty retreatants in a dormitory adjacent to the meditation hall.
Each bedroom allows for both sitting and walking meditation for those who wish to practice in a more secluded way. The meditation hall, walking rooms, dining hall and dormitory are all linked by interior walkways.
External walkways lead to the Administration building and Counsel House. Interviews with teachers take place in the Counsel House – the building also contains a small library of Buddhist books and recordings of dharma talks, as well as a room for yoga or other forms of gentle mindful movement.

To Be a Pioneer
35395, Children's Songbook, Heritage, To Be a Pioneer, 218-19
1. You don't have to push a handcart,
Leave your fam'ly dear,
Or walk a thousand miles or more
To be a pioneer!
2. You do need to have great courage,
Faith to conquer fear,
And work with might for a cause that's right
To be a pioneer!
We are marching, ever marching.
We are marching, ever marching,
Marching onward, ever onward.
We are pioneers;
[1st time only]: we're marching.

Oregon History: Taking Stock
In 1962 Thomas Lawson McCall, a journalist, caught the state's attention with a television documentary, "Pollution in Paradise." In his clipped, forceful narration and with compelling photography, McCall showed what had happened to the Willamette River. Sewage, industrial wastes, garbage, abandoned docks and warehouses, tires, and hulks of automobiles befouled a once pristine, fish-filled stream. Between 1850 and 1920 the Willamette had served as western Oregon's artery of commerce and transportation. Use had bred abuse and, almost without seeing it, Oregonians had transformed the stream into an open sewer.
Tom McCall was elected governor in 1966. Stressing an eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not pollute," McCall, a Republican, forged a broad-based coalition to address the consequences of rapid development, growing population, and ecological changes in the state. McCall's ideas were not always popular and his commentary sometimes appeared quirky. His approach, however, was earnest and, for a majority, compelling. During his eight years in office he and like-minded leaders--Stafford Hansell, a hogfarmer from Boardman, L.B. Day, a labor leader from Salem, and others--began a process of moving Oregonians from outright "ownership" of land to "stewardship."
The tally of accomplishments during the McCall years included creation of the Department of Environmental Quality (1969), extensive research and solution to Willamette Valley fieldburning, blocking of shipment of additional tons of nerve gas to the Umatilla Army Depot, creation of the Willamette Greenway--a 170-mile-long corridor of easements and park properties, the Bottle Bill (1971) requiring deposits on returnable beverage containers, and Senate Bill 100. This much-debated bill created the Land Conservation and Development Commission (1973). The LCDC moved every county and incorporated town into a system of statewide land-use planning. Hearings on draft goals and guidelines drew thousands of participants to meetings. Volunteers and staff hammered out a system for evaluating, in light of the statewide guidelines, comprehensive land-use plans required of all government entities. Repeatedly critics tried to overturn the LCDC. Each time a majority of voters sustained the system. Oregonians had started to come to terms with the realities of growth and the responsibilities inherent in sustaining livability.
The 1990s were a sobering decade for dozens of small towns and for the thousands involved in logging and lumbering. The boom ended in the forest products industry. Shrill voices decried the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and charged that spotted owls and marbled murrelets were not worth jobs and payrolls. The reality was that Oregon had not attained sustained yield in management of forests and that overharvest, similar to overfishing, forced adjustment. Sawmills closed. Towns like Powers, West Fir, Oakridge, Swiss Home, Hines, Valsetz, and Vernonia were shaken by the closures and departure of residents. Most communities adjusted. Some Oregonians, however, wrestled with difficulty when they discovered that the national forests and lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management--acreage on the other side of their fence--belonged to all the people of the United States, not the locals, and that interest groups thousands of miles away had a valid voice in crafting land policy and use of public resources.
The 1990s was also a decade of diversification in Oregon's economy. High-tech industries came of age. From modest beginnings in a garage in 1948, Howard Vollum and Jack Murdock built Tektronix, an electronics company, into one of the nation's largest companies by the mid-1980s. Oregon's reputation as a decent place to live with willing workers encouraged several corporations--among them Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Wacker Siltronics--to construct fabrication plants and manufacture computer components. These billion-dollar facilities contributed to a thriving urban Oregon economy. While many rural Oregonians struggled with survival, many urban Oregonians found good jobs in new industries. Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman, longtime track coach at the University of Oregon, transformed the tennis shoe into a styled, engineered icon of the "fitness generation." Their Nike Corporation grew by the 1990s into a major manufacturer and retailer of sports and casual clothing. Its distinctive "swoosh" logo appeared on the outfits of professional athletes, amateurs, and even great-grandmothers who found ease and comfort wearing nonlacing tennis shoes or fleece jogging outfits.
In 1984 residents of the state approved a lottery. It grew rapidly in popularity as new games and promotions increased player options. Gambling profits proved irresistible to legislators who appropriated them to meet costs of basic social services and education. In 1992 the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians negotiated the first gaming compact with the governor under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Within five years the tribe was the second largest employer in Douglas County, operating a casino, restaurants, hotel, truck stop, and other businesses at Canyonville. Other tribes followed. In 1998 Spirit Mountain Casino, owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community, surpassed Multnomah Falls as the most visited traveler destination in Oregon.
Oregon had not solved all its problems. Adequate financing for education at all levels eluded legislators, governors, teachers' unions, and students. Salmon recovery plans, at times, seemed more abundant than fish. Indian tribes, federal and state agencies, sport and commercial fishing organizations, and fish biologists all wrestled with finding ways to save remaining runs and rebuilding those that teetered on the edge of extinction. Poverty continued to grip Oregonians. Thousands of new residents--many of them Hispanics who had found hard jobs and tough living conditions in following the harvests and working in the state's nursery business--tried to make do.
A willingness to embrace new ventures has persisted in Oregon. In 1990 Measure 5 placed severe limitations on property taxes to support schools and government. In 1993 Oregonians were first in the nation to hold a vote-by-mail election. The following year they approved a Death With Dignity Act, permitting doctor-assisted suicide. In 1998 Oregon raised the minimum wage to the highest in the nation, easing for the hourly worker some of the struggle for existence but threatening enterprises operating on a shoestring. Oregonians refused to approve a sales tax, but continued to pay high property taxes and income taxes.
Such is the course of Oregon history. A majestic territory of immense potentials drew newcomers in the 1840s. In less than a decade they wrested control from the American Indians, changed the face of the land with surveys and property ownership, and engaged in ambitious exploitation of the state's resources. When it finally became evident that nature's plenty could not continue to yield in profusion, Oregonians embraced new models for doing things.
The state's history has stories of triumph and tragedy, hope and perseverance, and taking risks. The Oregon System became a national model for improving government in the 20th century. Oregon has served as a great testing ground for federal projects which have provided a medley of benefits--electricity, navigation, irrigation, timber harvests, tourist facilities, and jobs. Oregon has led the nation in environmental legislation and commitment to working for quality of life for all of its citizens. For generations Oregonians have celebrated the special words in their state song: "Hail to thee, Land of Promise, My Oregon." Oregon's promise is strong and therein lies the state's future.

Thank you all, for your advice! I really appreciate your time!
Maybe you already know this but the Holland area beekeepers haul in a couple of truckloads of 3#packages, nucs and queens. I have only got packages from them once but have bought queens a couple of times. My longest living colony came from them. It is going on 7 years old and as of last weekend still doing well. If you need any info on the Holland stuff I have it
The best way to have healthier bees is to have a King with excellent genes. Before you buy your bees, discover out what the selleruses to keep his bees healthier. What ever he is using, you will probably need. If he has been substance and drug-free then you will probably be able to do the same.

I have re-powered, replaced the overhead liner, added shore power and a hard wired battery charger, repaired some anomalies in the deck, made new engine side panels and interior floor panels, and added a furler and lazy jacks. That's it. Done. Other than the re-power and the furler, all of the work has been done with the boat in the water, and I have to admit that some sailing has been missed to work on upgrades. No more of that. I've considered a lot of other things that can be done, and written them off as unnecessary for my sailing venue. It's a good feeling. I wonder if any other members look at it the same way.
a friend of mine once said...."there are two truly happy days on the life a boat owner, the day that he buys it, and the day that he sells it. The rest of the time is spent working on the boat, and taking it out every now and then."
As everyone has said here, it is a never ending job, for life. BUT OH SO SWEET
Congratulations on getting her the way you want her. I think I know what you're getting at. You're not trying to make a new forty footer out of her. You probably won't be sailing any more than the rest of us, what with normal maintenance, but at least you have the sense to say, good enough. Have fun.
Larry and Susan,
Thanks for the poem. We all can identify with it. Has anyone published anything on the cathartic effects of working at West Marine? It must be nice to see others on a daily basis and be able to say, "there but for the grace of God, go I". (g)
|I went to West Marine today to get some glue to fix the hole in the floor of my dinghy, only $19.99 less discount being a new boat owner + tax. WRONG..... I left the shop with glue for the dinghy, an inflatable boat repair kit, 3x tubes of Calk, a USA flag, a 360 piece marine electrical terminal kit, elec tape, acitone and a safety tether. Over $200+tax AND I NEED TO GO BACK. There is no such thing as finished, getting started is just as hard because this all started with trying to blow up the dinghy, foot pump would not pump, strip down pump find flapper valve in bits inside pump make new flapper valve using Duct tape and flat washer. Blow up dinghy find hole in floor go to West Marine and on and on it goes. finished never.
In all of the annals of nautical history - no boat has ever been 'done' until it is resting on the bottom. And even then, there has often been some poor cockeyed optimist who will try to refloat and resurrect her.
Always remember the rule of three's: Any project attempted on a boat will cost three times as much and take three times as long as the original estimate. It will take three trips to the chandlery and there will be three jobs which necesarily must be done before beginning the original project - each of which has its own rule of three's. Any attempt to incorporate the Rule of Three's into your estimate will result in an additional tripling of the tripled estimate.
I have a poem you might like:
The Rule of Three's
By Elliot MacDonald
It's a perfect day to varnish, First Mate's not here today.
The sun is warm, the air is clear, teak looks a little gray.
I can freshen up those hand rails in three hours, maybe less.
I'll have it done in no time; I'll even clean my mess.
So off I go to West Marine with my list of stuff to get:
Some masking tape, some sandpaper, some varnish and I'm set.
I kind of set a budget; it's not that big a chore.
I'll spend less than thirty dollars, or just a little more.
Back at the boat and I decide this job could get done quicker
With my electric sander and a little sip of liquor
I sip my rum while I string out extension cords but then
The electric isn't working when I try to plug things in.
So I'll give up on sanding and solve this problem first
I trace the wires and find one loose, I anticipate the worst
But luck is with me, it can be fixed with a crimp-on wire connect.
I plug it in and smoke pours out, must be one more defect.
I quickly throw the breaker off and hope no harm was done.
I sip my rum and contemplate; this boat work's so much fun.
So then I check the main fuse to the inverter – then I groan.
It's a fifty dollar item and for sure the damn thing's blown!
And off I go to West Marine for the second time today.
They all know me by my first name, I am how they earn their pay.
They know I'll stop and see them sixty times when I'm in port
My visit's brief, I'm busy, I must go back and find my short.
I find the short and fix it and then replace the fuse.
I plug the sander in, but first, a little sip of booze.
We sailors have to drink, you know, it helps to keep us sane.
It helps us to forget our woe, it helps to numb the pain.
I go to the fridge; ice for my drink will make it nice and cool
But what's this puddle on the sole, it looks more like a pool.
Oh, ****, the fridge is broken, I've got another task
I know where I'll be going soon, you don't even have to ask.
I'm back again to see my friends at my local West Marine.
I'm sure that as a customer, I'm the best they've ever seen.
This time I need an obscure part for my marine refrigerator
Jim says they always stock that part, they all fail now or later.
I estimated thirty bucks, I've now spent ninety eight.
My ice is gone, my rum is warm and back comes my first mate.
She cheerfully unloads her bags and then I hear her sing,
"And what did you get done today?" I answer, "Not a thing!"
Why cant I look at things the same way as drynoc. I'd wrap rope around the tiller and go geez I need a few more cleats for this, add cleats, think hmmm, maybe a autopilot instead, add wheel auto pilot, go hmm bet hydraulics would work better add hydraulic rams, notice the engine needs more juice to power rams, add new engine, it just goes on and on.
Congrats drynoc send some finished my way.
I did finish one thing on the boat.......that last beer.
Best of luck with her. Whar river are you on?
I must have an English problem
(I don't mean to be snotty with that title - tried to change it and can't.) There is still a lot of work to do, but only to systems that are already on the boat and don't need to be improved - just maintained. The VHF must have come with the boat, for example, but it works and there is no need for a better one. All of the winches (ten of them) are original as well, but they all work well and don't need to be upgraded. The rope clutches look a little tired, but again they work as designed. I'll need new sails eventually, but that will be a replacement. Rigging will have to be seen to before too much longer, but again that is replacement, not upgrading something that works.
The difference is that a lot of people look at old style winches, for example, and think that the boat "needs" new self tailing models. Not true. The owner might want those new self tailing models, but the boat does not need them. Same with a chartplotter (I'm on a river with maybe an occasional foray to the Chesapeake Bay), auto helm, and much else. (My auto tiller is a piece of line tied off on both sides of the cockpit. I wrap it around the tiller several times, and then give it minor twists now and then as required. Motored for twenty five hours that way once. It's a little less accurate sailing, but still allows me to lean back and enjoy the sail, or adjust the sails as need be.)
Someone mentioned I might be in the market for a larger boat soon. Not true. I actually gave some thought to down sizing last summer, and decided that I must be an idiot to even consider it - after all of the work I have done on this one. I singlehand nearly all the time, and this boat is the largest I would want for that purpose.
Someone else mentioned racing. Only on the river locally. I don't have the time or the desire to race off shore.
|Now just go out and try to wear everything out!
I always finished mine too
The day I sold them......anyway congratulations...and if you ever see me out there come on over and well blow the head off a frosty mug from the fridge...

Salmon Fishing the Upper Findhorn & Tomatin Area
Some countries boast bigger and better salmon runs but nothing compares with a Scottish salmon.
The River Findhorn is a spate river, whose origin is formed by two major burns, the Eskin and the Abhainn Cro Chlach, in the Monadhliath Mountains. The river runs north east for 50 miles before entering the sea at Forress on the Moray Firth. It has a reputation of rising quickly because of the large catchment area. The hosts of the river are Atlantic Salmon and Wild Brown Trout. Spring fishing begins in mid April in the Tomatin area depending on the winter snowfall, which can produce fish weighing 10 lbs to the unheard of 20 lbs plus.
There are three beats of right hand bank fishing available to let and one left bank. All fly fishing only. Two beats of two rods are one mile in length and two beats of three rods that have lengths of one and a half and two miles plus.
Allan Bell is your Ghillie and no one knows the river better than him, although that doesn't always guarantee a fish!
Your day starts early, you will meet Allan at the shop in the small village of Tomatin, 16 miles south of Inverness, from here Allan will take care of you and explain the ins and outs of the day ahead.
Salmon fishing is available every day from mid April until the 30th September with the exception of Sundays as the law dictates that it is illegal to fish on a Sunday.
We can even arrange basic fly casting lessons on our front lawn before you set of your quest for the elusive Salmon. Transport can be arranged to take you to Tomatin and collect you at the end of the day. Rod, tackle and waders can also be hired but must be arranged at time of booking. Fishing on other rivers can also be arranged.
For more information on fishing activities, please request more details through our contact page and mark for the attention of Stephen Davies, General Manager.

CBC Children's ministries offers a warm, loving nursery for infants through 4 year olds and provides solid biblical teaching for K – 6th grade. Sunday School classes are available during both hours so that your child can attend worship with you, providing a valuable opportunity for your whole family to grow. Our goal is to come alongside parents to reach the next generation for Christ and our classes are designed to teach God's Word so that young lives will be transformed as they receive Christ and grow in their faith.
Wednesday Night
The following opportunities are provided for our children as parents are worshiping and studying in the main auditorium.
A caring, modern nursery is provided for children ages 0-23 months. Preschool classes are available for ages 2-4. Children ages 2-4 are encouraged to participate in the following activities: biblical lesson, related biblical "hands on" paper, opportunities for developing creativity, large-muscle play, and fine motor development activities such as modeling with play dough. Preschoolers attending the 4-year old class, as well as the older children grades K-6th, participate in the choir programs led by music teachers under the supervision of our Director of Music Ministries, Matt Leszczynski.
For more information on Children's Choirs, click here.
During the summer months, children grades 1-6th grade take a break from choirs and are given opportunities to participate in classes that teach them how to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. Techniques such as sharing the "wordless book" or the gospel "flipperflapper" are taught to the children. Puppet skits are presented that teach children how to live for Christ daily. Children also learn about missionaries from various time periods as teachers share with them the great service these individuals offered for the Lord. Children ages 2-Kindergarten continue participating in Christ-centered, age-appropriate developmental activities throughout the summer.
Sunday School
Did you know that 80% of individuals will trust Christ as their personal Savior before the age 14? Therefore the gospel is shared weekly in our AWANA and Sunday School programs. Bring your neighbors and friends to hear the greatest story ever told each week at CBC.
Bible classes are offered at 9:15 and 11:00 each Sunday for ages 1-12. Come learn more of God's Word at our many classes. Games, singing, crafts, drama, snacks and storytelling are just a few of the fun activities in which kids may participate.

Ever since I tested and witnessed the significant improvements in Fedora 15 (both GNOME and KDE), I have been looking forward to yet another improvement come Fedora 16. This time around, it is even more exciting, for Fedora 16 will sport GNOME 3.2, a release that promises lots of interesting new features and enhancements, as well as KDE 4.7.2 (I think... and hope!), which also incorporates lots of exciting stuff.
Now, wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to compare the latest from both desktop managers under the same hardware and distro? I personally think it would be interesting to see how each compares now that GNOME has had a few months to settle down and KDE has matured even further. I guess it could be argued that GNOME is still too young for this to be a totally fair comparison, but given how its developers decided to limit its set of features and complexity, it should be fine.
So, what do you think? Interested in this comparison? I'd like to see if this is equally interesting to you, but also which areas/concepts the comparison should concentrate on (i.e., ease of use, performance, Look&Feel, etc.).

Bring it on, Chema. That's why I like coming here, you write excellent articles.ReplyDelete
Thanks for that, Larry!!ReplyDelete
I tried to install fedora 15 on my desktop.....but at one point it search for "ramfs" thing and after that goes completely hanged .......ReplyDelete
I have to restart my system ......what to do?
@ExploringLinuxWithMe: You need to provide more details in order to get help. When does this happen? During installation? Did you get the LiveCD desktop to work on your desktop?ReplyDelete
It's hard to say with so little info, but I would go with a hardware incompatibility issue.
