Robbers Attack Blue Springs Couple
BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. (AP) - Blue Springs police say they're investigating a home invasion in which two gunmen broke into a home, tied up a couple and shot the husband.
The Kansas City Star reports that the robbery occurred Wednesday night while the couple's 4-year-old son was asleep in another room.
The men stole several items and shot the husband. He was treated at a hospital for a minor gunshot wound. The woman and child were unharmed.
Police said they used dogs to track the suspects and located evidence and items from the home.

GENERIC NAME: MEPERIDINE TABLET - ORAL (meh-PAIR-id-een)
BRAND NAME(S): Demerol
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Meperidine acts on certain centers in the brain to give you pain relief. This medication is a narcotic pain reliever similar to morphine.
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth, usually every 3 to 4 hours as needed or as directed by your doctor. You may take this drug with or without food. If you have nausea, you may take this drug with food, although this may cause your body to absorb less of the drug and get less benefit from it. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to decrease nausea (e.g., antihistamines, lying down for 1-2 hours with as little head movement as possible).The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.You may also take long-acting narcotic medications or use narcotic patches for ongoing pain if so directed by your doctor. In that case, this medication might be used for sudden (breakthrough) pain only as needed. Also follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions for safely using non-narcotic pain relievers (e.g., naproxen, ibuprofen). Ask your doctor if you have any questions.This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, runny nose, watering eyes, trouble sleeping, severe abdominal/muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and fast heartbeat) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.Though very unlikely, this medication can also be habit-forming and may result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). To lessen the risk of becoming addicted, do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or use it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.When used for an extended period, this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.Inform your doctor if your pain persists or worsens.

text: Well, they managed to go 21-21 after a 4-20 start. They had no offseason, a new coach, and relied on a rookie point guard. The Pistons will be returning the same roster minus Ben Gordon, plus Corey Magette, so that's a wash. Assuming that their rookie contributes, and given a full offseason for their players to play together, I don't see why they can't end up a couple games above .500, which would at least put them into contention for the playoffs. Yeah, it would suck to lose out on that pick, but that's why I'm hoping Joe has something more up his sleeve than just getting rid of Gordon.

Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
I actually looked at the boat in NH a couple of weeks ago and that is part of what made me so interested in this model. That boat did not "speak to me" so its not the one for me but model is still on the list.
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
There is one closer to you in NH it's listed on yachtworld as a 36 but it's a 37c. The Greenport NY boat is coming to Lake Michigan a friend bought it.
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
So you do understand the 2 or 3-1 ratio of what it may cost to update a used boat. I would bet the motor alone for you Ericson was 50-100% of the base cost of the boat! Much less repairing the rotted wood work etc. I know a new motor for my boat would be 5G in and of itself, much less the labor to repair it!
The numbers above would be appropriate for a 35-10' boat. Frankly, if you do not want the possiblity of doing to the new boat, what you did to the ericson, you had better upgrade to a 1990 or newer boat. UNLESS, you can find a boat that someone has recently gone thru. Otherwise, yes you will spend 2-3 yrs, 2-3 times the cost of the base to fix it up! Not 20%. A decent set of dacron sails would be close to 3 bills for my boat alone! Much less the 4G ea for a string main and 155 genoa!
I will also add, down below my boat does not look like a racer, it is quite nice! after the 80-100+ hrs redoing the inside. you can see before after results Here along with here For being 28' on deck, the boat is not too bad inside! Granted it does not have hot and cold running water, but many boat of that size in that time frame did not. Later and bigger yes.
From my experience with this boat, and tales as you have, go newer! Unless you want to spend time repairing. Yes the base fiberglass of an H37 is sound. The rest, including a Gin Fizz, will need some help unless you can find one, someone did all the work, could not finish the trip, get to it etc. The Tartan 3500 next the H37C on my dock, at 100K would be a better buy overall. You could probably leave tomorrow per say down the left coast where I am to mexico. I would not recommend it, as there is gale to hurricane force winds forecast for the next day or so.....but that is another story. Then again, being as the T3500 has 7.5' of draft.... you might not like that either. nor the 5.75' my boat has!
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
I appreciate the feedback but I know the prices and the work that can go into a used boat. My Ericson needed a lot of work when I bought her including new diesel engine, new bulkheads, rotten decks repaired and completely new wiring. Most of the work done myself.
I am not looking to get a boat requiring that much work again, I am looking for a solid foundation, which the H37C sounds like she is, that is in good repair. If I have to pay a little more than 20k and closer to the 30k range then so be it. I'm not looking to buy or end up with a pristine boat in new condition nor one that I can race competitively. I am looking for a dependable boat that is roughly 80% ready to go cruising. There is a 1981 in New Bern that looks to have had many updates already done for 39k which I will be looking at. I'm sorry but I'm with ctl411, I am not buying that I must flat assume I will need to pay 3-4 times beyond the purchase price to get a new boat cruise ready.
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
Blt2ski I understand where you are coming from now your a racer. So yes the 37c would not be a boat for you unless you ocean race (a guy on hunterowners does transatlantic). But for a cruiser they are hard to beat in their price range. Again nice 37c's can be had for around $20000. If you want to see some pics go to crosswindadventures.com the pics are with the old sails. This boat has new local loft made sails.
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
For a boat of this type and size, sails along will be $3-5G. If you pay 20G, you are at %25. Cushions and covers. another $5-10. Re do the rigging. You have 500-1000 just pulling and replacing the mast. much less the wire part. My lines were 2-3g, granted I upgraded from sta-set, you're boat will be more! A gps/chartplotter no matter the cost of the boat, 1-4g depending upon models. To redo the foam backed vinyl liner on my hill was 2-3G for materials, much less the 60 some hrs to do the work. I had quotes of $10G for others with labor!
Not sure where I am at frankly for a total, but if you buy a boat that needs all the above. figure $40-60K on top of the purchase price. By the time you do the above, you would have been better off to get a more expensive boat, and start sailing today! If you do a lot of the work yourself, yes you save, but I have locally also found may say about 3 yrs to get the boat to the way you want it. That was about right for me. Since I race my boat, my sail inventory came out to around $15K for a boat the size of you Ericson 29. Which by the way, do have some 35-40' boat models. I paid $18 for my boat, overall in good shape. but once I started redoing some things. it just kept going and going and going..........
If you want to argue the 20-30% fine. But even Sailing when they do the yearly refab boats in about Jan/Feb many are in the 30-50% range, I've seen a high of 80% depending upon the initial cost of the boat. My 3-4 times is not completely off as you can see. Like my cushions came out to around 10G. I had quotes as little as 5-6G, but spouse wanted the curve seats, buttons, piping, upgraded foam in the berth area, etc, all of which cost more to get done! so we came in almost double than the lowest reasonable cost things to get done.
Sails, one fellow came on here blasting a sail he got. Paid $1500 for one twice the size of mine. My base main is in the $1500 range! I would expect 2500-3000 for that sail. His boat IIRC was also in the upper 30' range.
Look prices up before getting too far into this possible project BEFORE buying a boat if you think 20% is all you need!
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
I think that is the first time I have ever heard that putting another 3-4 times the purchase price into a used boat is the norm. I have repeatedly heard more like 20% or maybe a little more. No way am I putting 60000 into a boat in renovations. No matter how much I pay initially. I don't want any fancy systems that are more prone to breaking while out there. I want a basic and dependable boat that will get me there and back in reasonable comfort and safety. Goal is to find a boat that is in as good shape as I can find then put some money into basic updates. Pretty lines are something to consider and will certainly be a factor. Life is too short to own an ugly boat.
Re: My Next and Hopefully Last Boat - Which One?
HERE is some info on the Jeanneau version of the Oday 40. along with who recently took one around the world. Not to say this is better per say than the H37C.
As faster said above, the boat you choose needs to tug at your heart strings. Frankly, as I have tried to say about the H37C, it does not! It is a good boat for off shore work. It would not be my first choice.
Yes you can buy any of these boats for a song. I did that with my 85 Jeanneau that is about the size you have. I have proceeded to dump some 40-50K into it, redoing the interior, along with all of the sails etc. Have not done the standing rigging as of yet.....Most folks I know that buy older boats, it comes down to a how my $ vs cost did you spend? 3 or 4-1 is a pretty common figure. Spend 20 on the boat, you can figure 60-80K fixing it up to be like new if that is your goal! Some do it for less........
OR, as I should/could have done. bought a 3-5 yr old boat for about what I have into my boat. Then again, I would not have had those 3 yrs of weekend playing on the boat, when I could have been playing IN the boat sailing it, vs working on it! For what you could easily spend upgrading a H37C, you could buy one that needs very few $$ and take off next month, vs next year. This could also include an O'Day 39 or 40, the jeanneau Sun Fizz variants....or any other older boat you choose. Just make sure you like the look! along with it will do what you want it to do.

Nothing better out there to fit all your requirements.

|Thats what I have, the late model factory roller setup, that part is just the generic grind number, I think they even use it across all engine brands for the extreme energy hydraulic roller seires with 230/236 duration. 8-432-8 is the part number for the roller block version. I have it in my boat, idles strong at 950 or so with a 750DP carb, with a 650DP I can't get it to idle below 1000 for some reason, has about 10 inches of vacuum, but the signal is pretty strong and it doesn't drift around much. In a car I think I'd want about 22-2500 stall converter if I was running an auto trans.
|Thanks Greg, I definitley will check all of them. Comp Cam XR282HR is a retrofit for the Gen 1 ver. 1 of the old 350 blocks. I have the Gen 1 ver. 2 ('88-up) with the factory roller cam and lifters, so I need the thrust plate type cam.
|I used a Comp XR282HR in my 383 with 6" capscrew rods (I-beams) and I still had to clearance a few of them. (I did all of them, although only 3 gave me trouble) Don't take it for granted, check it.
F-Bird'88, thanks for the link to that Crane cam card. The lift is at about what we're looking for and the duration is right on too. Since we're using end caps rather than nuts and bolts, there shouldn't be a clearace issue...but definitely will check.
Been looking at Isky and Comp cams too. I had a Crane Fireball 286 in my old 350 and it was nice!
I had actually printed a cam spec sheet with these exact durations (from your link) at .050" but the lift was just a little more (518/239 vs your 509/528). So all the other info about spring loading and duration at .004" is different and that's where I get lost in deciphering that data. That's why I ask you pros!
Thanks again.
hi guys, give dokk a welcome, i recommended him to this websight.
our 2 cars are strikingly similar, both are coupes, 4 speed, 4.11 rear, flared fender cars with hooker headers and sidepipes. about the only difference is his is a 65 whereas mine is a 64, ( and his is in one peice less engine, and mine is in about 10,00 pieces- i'm doing a body off resto- )
i told him to give as much info on the build as he can, and not just ask one of those "i have a chevy engine, what's the best cam? questions that always pop up" he is too intelligent to do that anyway.
this is his first engine build, he is useing good quality parts but trying to maintain a budget and not break the bank. he is now at the cam choice part of his build and i think he is a little overwhelmed by the number of cam choices out there.
hive him a hand--> OH, and HI ASTRODOKK
|If the Edelbrock performer rpm hyd roller performs anything like the regular hydraulic,I would recommend it.I would try to find a Z-28 high rise 67-69 instead of the Edelbrock.I think it would look and perform better.
383 stroker built...now need cam suggestions
Street/strip car but mostly street. Need a cam that idles nicely without "excessive" lopy, choppy, rough sound...a little is ok. Looking for power at lower to mid range rpm's, say 2000 to about 5500-6000. I'll be doing some bracket races and the last engine (350) took me to 103 mph in 13.9 secs at the 1/4 mile. I don't want to go faster than 11.50 without a cage. My friend, techron in this forum, is helping me put this together and we're mulling over all the wonderful choices of roller cams in the world. I've narrowed it down to keeping the LSA to within 110-114, and the lift to about .500-.510. So all the durations at .050" is what's killing me softly.
I don't want to have to get flow numbers on the heads to get it so precise...ballpark is fine. (I do have flow numbers though at .100" intervals).

Arsenal Football Club is pleased to confirm that the Club's annual fun run, 'Be a Gunner. Be a Runner' will return on Saturday, March 23 in aid of The Arsenal Foundation.
If you're looking for a New Year challenge, the 10-lap, 6.4 kilometre fun run around Emirates Stadium could be the event for you! Registration for the run will open very soon for all Arsenal fans, keen runners and anyone else who would like to support The Arsenal Foundation and help the Club's charitable arm continue transforming the lives of young people through a range of education and sport initiatives.
Entry to the race for adults costs £15 and due to the limited number of spaces available, all runners are encouraged to raise at least £100 in sponsorship. Any runner that manages to raise over £500 for the charity will be deemed a 'Top Gunner' and will receive a special gold running number on race day. The 2012 event was the most successful to date, with more than 700 adult and junior runners joining forces to raise in excess of £53,000 for charity.
Youngsters aged 14 or under will once again be able to take part in a shorter one or two lap junior race on the day – for more information, visit www.arsenal.com/juniorgunners.
And it's not just UK-based supporters who can take part - last year, for the first time, we opened the event up to global Gooners and were delighted to see individuals and groups from more than 20 countries worldwide take part in their own organised runs to help spread the message of the Club's charitable endeavours around the world.
If you're a non UK-based supporter and would like to get involved in the 2013 event, simply devise a 6.4km route local to where you are – it could be in a park, beach or even a local sports stadium – and email it with your details to firstname.lastname@example.com. All successful applicants will receive a unique race number to wear with pride on the day and can also request official race t-shirts in return for a small donation to The Arsenal Foundation.
All money that is raised from Be a Gunner. Be a Runner 2013 will go towards The Arsenal Foundation, supporting education and sport projects in the UK and overseas that transform the lives of young people.

Of corse this is all rumor (and listings), but if it is true, I can't wait for some Jodo love.
First let's start with the latest listings from online sources:
Following up on one of our previous spy reports, the folks over at JediNews.co.uk have a very detailed listing of no less than 4 Evolutions sets!

Rebellion Pilots Legacy #2 - said to include Cesi "Doc" Eirriss, Keyan "Lucky" Farlander, and Desin Ommis
On a related note, our Rebel Spies have informed us that the packaging for the Evolutions may be changing, to make the figures stand out more on the shelves.
No new ships have been reported recently (well, there was that glimpse of the AT-TE last week), but we have been getting some additional spy reports, some recently confirmed courtesy of the French Toys "R" Us computer system:
Aayla Secura's Jedi Starfighter
Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter
B-Wing Starfghter - our C4 report said to include a human pilot
A-Wing Starfighter - said to include a new Arvel Crynyd pilot
X-Wing Starfighter - said to include a new look and pilot

'Tigers head coach and general manager Willie Desjardins wasn't surprised to hear the size questions come up again, but in time, the Tigers bench boss believes his young forward will overcome that at the NHL level too. "Tyler wishes he was 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds and has all the skill he has now," said Desjardins. "I think it is natural people worry about that a little bit. I think that he will be a very good player. I believe he is going to score at that level as well."'

I make a body image / sex zine called my buoyancy, an effortless feeling. I would be happy to trade with you.
Sorry about the message I sent, it cut me off before I could finish my point, ha! Your zine looks inviting, and the cover work is great. I know first hand sex is a big part of our lives and with some like myself it can be a big and huge part of your life. I have a lot to say on sex being I had a long time kinky sex addiction that I was raised into from my youth by some wild parenting. I would love to pick your brain on the naughty things as well as the mental health part of it all. I know first hand also how to much sex on the mind can lead to the dark side of lust. I used to call that place home, LOL! I have some interesting stories if you would like to chat it up sometime. Nice meeting you here, take care. Rich
i'd love to trade zines with you - my buoyancy, an effortless feeling zine looks awesome!

No. 29 Canisius (38-14, 20-4 MAAC)
FirstEnergy Park (Lakewood, N.J.)
Live HD Video: MAAC.TV
Free Audio Broadcast: GoGriffs.com
- The Cansius baseball team looks to defend its MAAC Championship this weekend at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, N.J.
- Canisius will be the No. 1 seed in the six-team, double-elimination tournament being held at the home of the Lakewood BlueClaws, the single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies in the South Atlantic League.
- Canisius won the MAAC regular-season title for the fourth time (1994, 2008, 2010). In 1994, Canisius went 17-1 and won the MAAC North Division title. In 2008 and 2010, Canisius shared the regular-season title.
- The 20 MAAC wins for the Golden Griffins set a new program record. Since the MAAC went to a 24-game schedule in 2008, Canisius is the second team, joining Manhattan in 2011, to post 20 league wins.
- Canisius is making its eighth consecutive appearance in the tournament, the longest active streak in the MAAC.
- In this week's Collegiate Baseball Top 30 poll, Canisius was voted No. 29. The Griffs were ranked for the first time in program history. Canisius received votes in the 2011 and 2013 preseason polls.
- The Golden Griffins enter the postseason on a program-record 16-game winning streak, the longest active winning streak in the country. The 16-game winning streak also matches South Carolina and Kennesaw State as the longest winning streak at any point this season.
- Canisius started the week ranked No. 59 in the official NCAA RPI. In the last five weeks, Canisius has moved from No. 163 to No. 59, jumping 104 spots.
- Canisius is one of 27 teams across the country with 38 wins.
- Canisius has won 38 or more games for the fourth time in the last seven seasons. Only two other MAAC schools (Marist in 2002 and LeMoyne in 2006) have ever won 38 games.
- Junior Rohn Pierce was named the MAAC Pitcher of the Year on Tuesday, the first Golden Griffin to win the award since Shane Davis in 2008.
- Junior Connor Panas was named the MAAC Player of the Year on Tuesday, the first Golden Griffin to win the award since Sean Jamieson in 2011.
- Mike McRae was named the Anaconda Sports MAAC Coach of the Year, winning the award for the fourth time (2003, 2008, 2010).
- Eight Golden Griffins earned All-MAAC honors on Tuesday, the most for the Golden Griffins since Pierce, Panas, sophomore Alex Godzak, sophomores Anthony Massicci and Brett Siddall and senior Ronnie Bernick were named to the All-MAAC First Team while junior Jesse Puscheck and freshman Christ Conley were voted to the Second Team.
- Canisius finished the regular season with 22 road wins, the second-highest total in the country. The Griffs have 47 road wins during the last two years, one ahead of Bryant for the most in the country
- Since the start of the 2008 season Canisius has 255 wins, which is the highest total in the Northeast as the Griffs lead Connecticut (248) and St. John's (248).
- During those seven seasons, Canisius ranks 24th nationally in winning percentage (.636) and fifth among schools from non-power conferences.
- Canisius is the one of 32 teams in the country, and the only team in the Northeast, to have 33 or more wins in at least six of the last seven seasons.
- Canisius entered the Collegiate Baseball Top 30 poll at No. 29 in this week's edition of the rankings.
- Canisius is ranked for the first time in program history.
- The Golden Griffins received votes in the preseason edition of the Collegiate Baseball poll prior to the start of the 2013 and 2011 seasons
- The Golden Griffins enter the postseason on a 16-game winning streak, the longest active winning streak in the country.
- Canisius is the only team in the country to have won at least eight games on four different occassions. South Carolina accomplished the feat three times.
- The Griffs also had the longest winning streak in the country last season after posting a 11-game winning streak following a doubleheader sweep of Marist on April 27.
- Canisius last lost on Easter Sunday, falling 8-4 to Indiana State.
- The Griffs are averaging 9.0 runs per game and hitting .330. The Canisius pitchers have a 2.32 ERA with the opposition hitting .220.
- Since the start of the 2008 season, Canisius has 21 winning streaks of five games or longer.
- Canisius is the only team in the tournament to play the other five participating schools.
- Canisius lost two of three games to Siena and Fairfield, losing the series to the Stags to start the month of April and then dropping the series to the Saints on the following weekend
- The Griffs ended the regular season with a three-game sweep of Monmouth and opened the month of May with a three-game sweep at Quinnipiac.
- Canisius swept Manhattan at the Demske Sports Complex at the end of March.
- Canisius and Siena have played three previous times. The Griffs won 12-11 in last season's championship round while the Saints eliminated the Golden Griffins in 2008 and 2011
- Canisius and Fairfield met in the first round of the 2012 tournament, with the Golden Griffins winning on a walk-off single from Jose Torralba in the bottom of the ninth inning.
- Canisius and Manhattan have met seven times. The Jaspers defeated the Griffs twice in extra innings in the 2012 championship round and also won by one run in the 2011 first round. Canisius defeated Manhattan twice in 2010, eliminating the Jaspers in three straight years (2010, 2009 and 2008).
- With Monmouth and Quinnipiac joining the conference this season, the teams have never met in the postseason.
- The Canisius baseball team won the first conference title in postseason history last year by winning all three of its games in Trenton, N.J.
- The No. 3 seed Golden Griffins opened the tournament with a 2-1 win over No. 2 seed Marist College in the first round.
- Canisius then defeated No. 1 seed and host school Rider 18-7 in a rain-delayed winners' bracket game.
- In the championship game, Canisius jumped out to a 10-3 lead over No. 4 seed Siena after six innings. The Saints tied the game with six runs in the seventh and two runs in the top of the ninth.
- Canisius won the championship when Jose Torralba was hit by a pitch in the shoulder with two outs and the bases loaded to give the Griffs the walk-off win.
- Canisius is making its eighth consecutive postseason appearance, dating back to an appearance in the 2007 tournament.
- The Golden Griffins have played in the championship round in four of the last five years.

is that the autotune AT-300 ?
Quote from: flstfidevoe on Dec 27, 2012, 07:33:50 AMis that the autotune AT-300 ?Probably AT-200. Otherwise, you'll need to cut into both pipes.
The Cobra unit is plug and play. Simple, stratightforward, but you have to settle for what it does (I hear it does pretty darn good). As you mod the bike, the PowerAPro will adapt automatically. You just can't tell it what to adapt to. If you like to tweak and tune and try different things, the PCV is what you want. You can just get it tuned and leave it alone, but you can also tweak the tables using software you download and a USB connection. I have added the Autotune to my PCV so I can tune the air-to-fuel ratio (A/F) and make it run the way I want her to. You if you have the Autotune, it will automatically re-tune when you to whatever A/F you have it set for when you make mods. If you don't like messin', just get the PowerPro. If you like to mess, are a bit computer savvy, and aren't afraid to take responsibility for the tune of the engine. get a PCV and Autotune.

Re: Land of the Rising Sunny Side
Still love it! Get it printed somewhere and let me know! :D
re: weenie roast
Your shirts are always awesome. I wish more would make it to the top.
Re: Some BBQ
This deserved to get printed the first time around, but if it manages to get printed now, I'll take it!
Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
I was really disappointed when this shirt didn't get printed the first time. Here's hoping it happens this time.
My only complaint is that I think it would be better placed on the bottom right as opposed to the top right as it is right now. The best placement, IMO, would be on the left side wrapping around, but obviously that can't happen.
Regardless, I'm buying this if it prints! Helloooo, black box.
Re: Blue-Footed Booby Dance of Seduction
I'm a sucker for natural history shirts, especially ones featuring the Jagger strut!

Re: Werewolves Can't Dance

Re: Sakura Hanami v.2 Full Blossom
I <3 the colors on this one!!
AWESOME! One of the best shirts I've seen on Woot!. I was crushed when it didn't make it last time. I really hope this stays in the fog!
Re: Red Giant, White Dwarf.
I love science based shirts, but I can't figure this one out so maybe someone can explain. I know what a red giant and a white dwarf are, but what do either of these things have to do with our solar system? And where is our sun, which isn't a red giant or white dwarf? And why would they be playing marbles with our planets? The whole thing makes no sense, in fact I think it's kind of pointless given that there's no connection holding any of it together. I prefer the one in this derby with our sun playing marbles with the planets, at least those things are related somehow. This is a highly overrated shirt in my opinion, unless I'm just missing the connection.
Really cool drawing, but I can't vote for it, I'd like to have sex one day
Re: MoviEclipse
i still want this to win.
the sun is awesome
Re: Call me, Ishmael
I love this shirt!!!! ClassiC!!
Re: Grace
Don't like the placement, wish it was higher, can you change it at this point?
Re: Dude, Watch This!
This is absolutely hilarious ..Deity bless you
Re: Paint with your head, not with your hands.
g-d i hope this shirt wins. awesome design, interesting message. perfection.
FunOnTheBun wrote:Whoa! I didn't know this one got an HM... Cool! I'm glad to see it again.
Yeah one of the disadvantages of that derby, I think, was that no one knew designs to associate with the artist later. ::shrugs:: it's okay, I'm glad you found it anyway

That's a selling point of this shirt, no? Food stains will blend right in!
HotSoup19 wrote:Really cool drawing, but I can't vote for it, I'd like to have sex one day
Heh. you'd be surprised how much sex people who like this stuff have. Same goes for the rejected hero piece from last week.
If you're not getting any, it probably doesn't have anything to do with what's printed on your $10 tee shirt.
JF73 wrote:Great shirt! so how do i vote?
Unfortunately, you can't. You have to buy a woot first, then you can vote.
That little square next to your name tells how many woots you have purchased.
Re: Orbital Rendezvous
I love this design so much!
Re: Rain Dancer
I always felt the limited view on the thumbnail may have robbed you of a few votes. Great work. Good luck.
Re: Whats under the bed?
ugh fools! Vote for this one cuz I can't (very new and haven't bought anything) BUT i would buy this! Help a brother out! =)
Re: Rose-Colored Glasses
Still a fav of yours, frostbiter
Re: Acherontia lachesis IIIx
it puts the vote in the bin or else it gets the hose again.
Radscoolian wrote:I can't compete on this site, and I"ve tried some other designs on threadless that haven't worked. I think I'm a fairly competent designer, and I've come to realize that good design doesn't sell a shirt. Woot demonstrates this wonderfully every week.
I have a businessman friend who I will be working with, we are going to build a full storefront, and we are currently looking for a print shop to work with.
With any luck, I can get a customer following.
if you vanish, keep us updated. its sad i've seen quite a few artists who i really like never get close to the fog and eventually they just disappear from trying. i try to help you guys out, but i'm just one vote
it'd be nice if you could follow an artist. i know who drew some shirts without looking, but other artists i have to look for cause their design changes weekly
I adore this. The illustration is great and it's a hilariously believable band name. I hope people start voting.
Re: Cthulhu BBQ
God, I wanted this shirt back when it was first up and I still really want it.
Everybody vote for this!
MadamAtom wrote:So here we go again. I'm no artist, but ... is that eight colors?
Yeah, you are correct. This was my first shirt design, so I had a little bit of learning to do...
I actually submitted a corrected version to Woot! before the contest, but they used this one instead. Turns out it looks almost identical with 6 colors, I just didn't know better at the time.
I'm just really happy Bunny Holly gets a second chance at life!
Re: Birdplanes!
Our Movie Genre, THIS HAS TO BE PRINTED! i love it sooo much. the yellow is perfect, like a nice summer day, makes the red in the scarves stand out.
spilzer wrote:Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about this design. I loved it the first time around and I still love it. Good luck getting printed, I'd love to wear this.
Hmm this one doesn't look like it'll make it. I think you should print me one somehow anyway.
I've been waiting for three months to vote for this shirt again. If it doesn't print I guess I'll have to wait another two months to get it on spreadshirt, or cameesa, or wherever he puts it.
I'll be very happy if I can get this and Drakxxx's steampunk shirt next weekend. I've been waiting months to vote for these two shirts again.
Re: Pressure Release
Why is this not doing better? Here's hoping we get an editor's choice from this.
I must have this shirt, it is so neat!

If your in town for the weekend and just need a place to lay your head this is a good spot, stayed multiple times never had any problems fairly safe and quiet area, unlike other motels on Virginia st or 4th street The pictures make it look a lot nicer than it actually is but still a decent place to stay
I liked the fact we showed up a day earlier than our reservation and they were able to rent us a room... didn't like the HUGE price difference. Charged me $89.99 for Friday (1st night) at front counter & $53.99 Saturday (2nd night - online reservation) * Wouldn't offer any kind of price concession or discount and laughed at us when we requested money back or discount on room at checkout * Called us at 11:15am Saturday morning asking why we hadn't checked out yet even though we'd pre-paid for Saturday night * Shower wouldn't maintain constant warm water (fuse tripped)* AC cover fell off revealed filthy air filter * Beds uncomfortable * Floor in bathroom rippled so bad door barely closed from prior water damage* noisy people hanging out @ night in parking lot *junk strewn around parking lot * I've traveled a lot and this was by far THE WORST MOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED AT!
Location in respect to the UN Stadium is outstanding. Facilities are so so. Anything less would be unacceptable.
Okay close to downtown. Old, dirty, uncomfortable... Especially, loud voices when someone just taking shower next door in the middle of the night. Hard to get back to sleep again. It might be a bit cheaper on price, but it wound our vacation time...

Arsène Wenger has revealed the Club are not actively in the hunt for new players.
With the January transfer window just weeks away, the Frenchman fielded questions on the subject at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
Arsenal were linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund star Mario Goetze in the summer - but Wenger has played down talk of an approach for the German youngster.
"At the moment in the transfer window we are just interested in keeping our squad," he confirmed. "We have a big squad and we are not after anybody.
"Goetze is a very good player, I can understand there is a lot of interest in him around Europe.
"On our side though, I do not think this is the best time to talk about it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Can anyone help me?
I've got a very disruptive student who is 60 years old. He continuously speaks his mother tongue in class and refuses to speak English. Also in almost every class, he interrupts and complains about my teaching methodology... too much English, moving too fast etc. It's an A2 level - a pre-intermediate level. It's a mixed ability group so I'm moving slightly slower than what I would go with a normal A2 class - there's no way I can go faster. When he complains, he does so in front of all my other students and it's quite demotivating for me.
Can anyone give me some advice as to how to deal with this student? Should I just ignore him? Should I refuse to speak to him until he treats me with a bit more respect? HELP!!!


text: Someone help me out here. From what I have seen so far and its by means conclusive until the pressues on, I believe Maxiel has a good chance of helping us out more than McDyess this season. Maxiel plays near the rim, skies for boards, blocks some shots and plays with a heck of a lot of energy. I know Dyess has the experience but he seems to have settled into a mid range shooter and often is prone to foul trouble many times on silly off the ball offensive fouls. What am I missing here about Dyess? Is it time for a change? The guys has been here for 2 seasons and just does not seem to be what we need off the bench.

A lot of feminists love 30 Rock. As they should: it's a funny show, and a rarity for television – a women-fueled enterprise with a two main female characters, written and conceived of by a woman. That is Cool, full stop. And 30 Rock has many deft explorations of the many facets of being a white, middle-class, straight, woman with able privilege. But persons with disabilities don't fare quite as well.
30 Rock trades on ableism on an almost episodic basis. The show's disrespect towards folks with disabilites, particularly those with visible disabilities, is constant and unrelenting from side gags to b-plots to regular characters. 30 Rock constantly places bodies with able privilege in a position of supremacy above bodies with visible disabilities through humiliation and devaluation. Its abuse of persons with disabilities in the name of comedy goes beyond the casual ableist language like "lame" or "retarded". Such language is unfortunately ubiquitous to even shows that have been critical of ableism (eg, The Office has critiqued ableism through Michael Scott's typical obliviousness on a couple of occasions, but, as in life, "lame" and occasionally "retarded" is still a consistent presence) but 30 Rock's ableism is constant, humiliating, and dehumanizing.
The most consistent use of a person with visible disabilities for the purposes of comedy and comedy alone is Kathy Geiss. Kathy Geiss is the mentally disabled daughter of NBC head Don Geiss, Jack Doneghy's hero and boss. She makes her entry into the series when she is wooed by Will Arnett's character, who is gay. Later on, she becomes the titular head of NBC when her father goes into a coma, with Arnett as the power behind the throne. She also sexually harrasses Jack. [Hulu doesn't have second-season clips - which is what I get for writing about television two years after it airs - but you can watch a recap below for some evidence.]
Kathy Geiss' appearance in the series dehumanizes, unsexes, and generally robs persons with mental/learning disabilities of any agency or life. She is first presented as a preposterous romantic figure, only valued for her father by a man who is not interested in women and a man who also only wants her ill-deserved power. This adult woman, with grey hair and a unisex wardrobe, is essentially viewed as a child – she plays with toys and cannot dictate her romantic life beyond serving a purpose for a man with no romantic interest in women. Furthermore, she is framed as incompetent and unable to do anything effectively; she has no professional identity, but only serves as a puppet for a man with able privileges. The idea of a woman with visible mental disabilities is so beyond the realm of 30 Rock's conception of what a woman or person is that they frame her as absolutely nothing but a joke, someone inconsequential who only serves as juxtaposition for the traditionally smart, sexy, competent main characters.
The visibility of her disability is heightened at every turn, though her desexed dress to her blank and uncomprehending expression to the toys that are sometimes in her mouth. Kathy is literally silenced - she says one word in her entire multi-episode arc ("kiss"). Having served her purpose as a punchline, she subsequently disappears from the series and is never mention again, effectively erasing any chance she could have had to be a redeeming character (as Jordan has). On 30 Rock, disabilities are tolerable as long as you can't immediately tell.
In a first-season episode, a character with physical but not mental disabilities is similarly used to set in contrast another character's sexual power while his life is understood to be valueless. Liz, Jack, and Jenna attend a birthday party for a foreign prince (othering much?) who is confined to a wheelchair due to inbreeding (hilarious, right?). The prince is attracted to the narcissistic and insecure Jenna and makes her his companion for the evening. Since wheelchair users clearly cannot enjoy their own body, he live vicariously through Jenna. Jenna's dancing, while physically funny, is at the cost of the prince's bodily agency. Later on, he literally kills himself after exchanging affections with Jenna. [Again, no clips on Hulu/YouTube. Sorry.)
It's understood that the lives of those in wheelchairs are valueless and unworthy of living; once they achieve some minor romantic or social success, they've clearly hit all the highs that someone like them can hit, and it's no use carrying on.
30 Rock confronts mental disabilities in every single episode with the character of Tracy Jordan. Tracy is defined as "mentally ill" from the pilot episode, but that does not interfere with his ability to be a fully functioning human being. His disability is never specifically defined, but it's a part of his character and is usually portrayed as value-neutral (sometimes negative, sometimes positive - as when he challenges the value of normal in a third season episode). Like other major characters, his narcissism, ego, and drinking problem are as likely to provide a crux for an episode as any other character traits. His disability is a variation, not a handicap. Tracy is not unintelligent, or lazy, or incapable – he's just who he is, and who he is is valuable and funny and moving.
This is not to say that the framing of Tracy's disability on the show is universally positive or respectful – there are many problematic episodes that problematically portray his disability. And of course, I'm looking at Tracy from a currently able privileged point of view, and could be totally wrong. But it remains that the only disabled characters shown regularly and treated as consequential are those with invisible disabilities. 30 Rock viciously positions characters with able privilege above persons with disabilities in its language, ongoing plotlines, and minor jokes.*
30 Rock is a feminist show. But like feminism, it is soaking in ableism. Able privilege and discrimination against persons with disabilities Tina Fey's show negates the experiences of agent and vibrant people with visible disabilities, turning them into sexless, lifeless, inconsequential punchlines.
*The examples detailed above don't even begin to cover it. There's also the episode in which Kenneth and Tracy deceive a blind girl for a Cyrano de Bergerac type story. In another episode, Jack forces a deaf woman into his office under false pretenses and forces her to lip-read for him. In another, Jenna portrays Janis Joplin, whom she believes walked with crutches.

State lawmakers have been hustling at a near breakneck pace to rush through legislation upon their return to the Capitol after a three-week hiatus. Pension reform, streamlining reporting for special taxing districts, and more are gaining momentum.
At the end of last week, a bill to ensure greater financial transparency of special taxing districts such as water, sewer, and volunteer fire department boards and library boards had cleared one chamber's hurdles and is heading toward the other. The purpose of House Bill One is to simplify and clarify muddled statutes dealing with special taxing districts. It's sponsored by House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts Adam Edelen is a key ambassador. Edelen performed a comprehensive review of some 13-hundred special districts across the state last year and found that more than 2.7-billion dollars flows through them with murky accountability. That's not all the auditor found, says Stumbo.
House Speaker Stumbo's House Bill One cleared the House on a vote of 96 to one. The measure has bi-partisan and bi-cameral support. Earlier last week in a press conference, Kentucky Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer of Georgetown pledged his support and said he believes the measure passes the litmus test by which his chamber will judge it.
Thayer was given credit by Auditor Edelen for championing the issue of government transparency and accountability 8 years ago. The special taxing districts bill, House Bill One, now awaits assignment to a Senate committee for action there.
While House Bill One was being endorsed by the House, the Kentucky Senate advanced — with few objections — two measures that critics say would limit abortion access. The body first acted on Senate Bill 4 sponsored by Jimmy Higdon and President Pro-Tem Katie Stine. Their bill requires a woman seeking an abortion to have face-to-face counseling 24 hours before the procedure. Proponents cited incidences where women were receiving that information by telephone instead of the face-to-face counseling that existing law intended.
The other "informed consent for abortion" measure calls for a woman to undergo an ultrasound of the fetus. Senator Paul Hornback's Senate Bill 5 doesn't require the woman to look at the image, but the physician would have to describe it to her. Lexington Democratic Senator Kathy Stein was one of the four Senators who voted against both measures. She condemned the bill as a degradation of women's rights and cast it as a re-victimization of women who may have suffered sexual assault. Both informed consent for abortion measures head to the state House where they have not gotten traction in previous legislative sessions.
Watch "Legislative Update" each weeknight for a report of the most significant activities at the Capitol at 11pm ET. Monday night will feature Congressmen Thomas Massie and John Yarmuth and U.S. Senator Rand Paul testifying in favor of industrial hemp legislation (SB 50) in committee.

NAACP Questions Demetrius Bennett Ruling
Members of the Rockford NAACP, along with State Representative Chuck Jefferson standing behind them, say last November's shooting of Demetrius Bennett needs a closer examination.
NAACP President Lloyd Johnston says "it is time to begin looking not so much as to whether the shootings are justified or not, but time to look at the decisions police and supervisors took that led up to the shooting."
NAACP President Lloyd Johnston says they're taking a pro-active approach after three black men were killed by Rockford Police last year.
Bennett's shooting death was the latest to be ruled justified. Shot after police say he lunged at them with a steak knife in a small kitchen. Many at the press conference believe Bennett did not deserve to die.
L.C Wilson of the NAACP says "common sense tells me that if I was in a position like that and I had the opportunity like that to shoot somebody in the leg, that's what I would do. I wouldn't try to take a person out."
Studies done by the NAACP show that twenty five percent of police officers in
State Representative Chuck Jefferson says "all we ask for is inclusion, and equality and no special treatment. No different treatment."
While they are respectful of the work Rockford Police are doing, they want to see new methods such as diversity and sensitivity training for their officers.

"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"I bought these to label my daughter's birthday favors. I have not used them yet, but they are a well made product and I bought the matching invitation. They feel like good quality stickers and look beautiful."
"I wasn't sure how the chalkboard effect would come across on these sticker tags, but it looks great! We attached these to small bottles of bubble soap as party favors. A huge hit!"
"I purchased these gift tags for my son's Baptism to put on the favors. I was so pleased when I received them. It's a nice way to personalize the favors to thank your guests. I had purchased the invitations first that match. The invite and gift tags have a very conservative and elegant look. The quality of the paper and printing is outstanding. You get what you pay for. I have received so many compliments on the invitations already."
"These invites are beautiful! I also ordered the envelopes that are regular postage and they fit fine. I also paid for rush delivery and they came even earlier. The stickers were great for the little gifts we had."

AMES, Iowa -- The Iowa Water Center announces the theme for their eighth annual Iowa Water Conference, Making Connections – Solving Problems: Water strategies for success in a changing world. The conference will be held March 3 and 4, 2014, at the Scheman Building in Ames, Iowa.
Through plenary and breakout sessions, conference goers will explore current trends across water resource management in both urban and rural landscapes, with a particular emphasis on the interconnected nature of our water resources, and the opportunities this offers for collaboration.
Attendees can anticipate sessions in stormwater and floodplain management and the intersection of agriculture and the environment, with each track incorporating technical presentations, education and outreach information, and problem-solving workshops. The conference will also offer sessions for poster and oral presentations from water professionals, as well as a poster competition for students.
The Iowa Water Conference is an annual gathering of water professionals, researchers, educators and students from across Iowa and surrounding states. The current conference structure was created to bring together the various professional conferences that were already occurring independently of each other. Bringing all of these conferences under one roof encourages collaboration between disciplines, shared resources and costs, and united efforts for clean, abundant Iowa water.
The conference partners include Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Flood Center, Iowa Floodplain and Stormwater Management Association, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Iowa Storm Water Education Program, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Luther College and the U.S. Geological Survey – Iowa Water Science Center.

Revision as of 07:25, 30 October 2010
There are currently two sets of packages that implement similar interfaces to monad transformers, besides a third package with a similar goal but different API named MonadLib:
- MTL - Monad Transformers Library: provides concrete monad transformers like and abstractions using multi-parameter type classes with functional dependencies likeStateT. Monads likeMonadStateand their transformer counterparts likeStateare distinct types and can be accessed uniformly only through a type class abstraction likeStateT. Because of the functional dependencies, MTL can currently (2010-03) only used in Hugs and GHC. MTL was the first implementation.MonadState
- The newer implementation is derived from the former one and is split into the following components:
- transformers: Provide only concrete transformers like . The monadStateTis only a type synonym forState s a. Thus bothStateT s Identity aandStatecan be accessed by the same methods likeStateTandput. However, this only works, ifgetis the top-most transformer in a monad transformer stack. This package is Haskell 98 and thus can be also used with JHC.StateT
- monads-fd: Provides the same type classes with functional dependencies like MTL. They allow using methods also forStatetransformers within a transformer stack.StateT
- monads-tf: Provides a different abstraction using type families. Unfortunately the names of
monads-tfclash, thus you can currently not import both packages in one package.
- transformers: Provide only concrete transformers like
1 How can I use MTL and transformers together?
Q: When I use ghc or ghci it complains about the same module names in mtl and transformers or monads-fd. How can I resolve these name clashes?
A: You can use the
-hide-package option of GHC. Cabal uses the
-hide-all-packages option and then explicitly makes every package visible with
2 Shall I use MTL or transformers?
Transformers is Haskell 98 and thus more portable.
3 How to move from MTL to transformers?
Many package using
MTL can be ported to
transformers with only slight modifications.
Modules require the
Trans infix,
must be replaced by
import Control.Monad.State ...
. Since
import Control.Monad.Trans.State ...
is only a type synonym, there is no longer a constructor named
. For constructing you must use the function
and instead of matching patterns you must call

Community and social computing

Profile overload and aggregation
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  semantic_web identity peer_networks 2,466 Views
Reading this story on Red Herring about the Socialstream project over at Carnegie Mellon, reminded me of three other things. The story is about a graduate student project that aggregates "any" social networks. What that means is obviously vague but it's getting some press due to the Google funding it received. It partially hints at the ability to aggregate a user's profile from across multiple sites. That in itself is not that unique.
The first thing it reminded me of is ZoomInfo, a site that conducts a web search for a person's name and makes correlations, and creates a single profile for all the related info that match that person. It isn't all that accurate and sometimes gives multiple hits for the same person (e.g., "Rawn Shah" a name that as far as I have searched is currently unique in the world). It also can give results for multiple people (e.g., plenty of "Michael O'Connell"s out there), and I'm guessing that sometimes the entries cross over between profiles inaccurately. It doesn't quite merge profiles from multiple social networks as much as take raw information, do some semantic processing looking for similar context, contact information, and references.
What would help ZoomInfo is more contextual or semantic declaration of information, in other words, it is an application just waiting for the Semantic Web to rise. There are other examples like the real-estate mapping and pricing site, Zillow. Both search multiple sources for particular type of information and then aggregate them in some meaningul way to do what they do. I know what you're think: "Isn't that just a mashup?" And you'd be right, but this kind of mashup becomes more useful if given the semantics of the situation.
This leads me to my second thing, the Semantic Web, which we talked about just recently at work. Conceptually, it means applying more specific information to any piece of knowledge so that it can be handled by software agents trying to understand the context and semantics. This is the current work of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the originator of the Web. I think we even have a podcast interview him on dW where he discusses this. This has also been referred to more recently as "Web 3.0", although the Semantic Web seems a more accurate and less self-aggrandizing title. To get to this level, there are a number of protocols, in particular the Resource Description Framework, that need to be much more widely applied to web information. There's a more complete diagram on that Wikipedia entry for it.
But returning to the topic of "aggregating" social networks, the third thing I recall is what Marc Canter, founder of MacroMedia and current CEO of Broadband Mechanics, wrote on CNet: "...it's clear that folks are interested in connecting together some of their disparate accounts on a wide range of social networks." Having worked on standards before I know how much messy politics go into it more often than good information. Marc's focus here again is also on connecting the profiles across multiple networks, and separately connecting the social networking tools they use and the information they generate.
My point of view, all three (profile, SN tool, information) are part of the same set, and should probably go together, not in terms of actually being on the same application, but in terms of the same presentation. In the background, all the data in the set can come from multiple application sources, even multiple sites. Don't force people to switch tools and interfaces constantly so they have to go from e.g., their blog to their wiki to enter different kinds of information. The same for profiles, you can have multiple profiles on multiple sites, but even switching between different sites to get to your profile in each community/social network system you are part of is cumbersome, when you need to change some basic information, e.g., your job title. It's also hard to track.
Is there a solution?
