Re: Fine Young Cannibals
Hope I didn't jinx this one GF. Still my favorite so far.
I think you did a really great job on the flower. It is gorgeous and very well done. I'm not crazy about the design, but that's just me. It is way too hard to try and please the entire Woot community. It's great that a new person is getting a fogged design though. Congrats on fogging. I dream of my first fog one day. ;)

That IS a fun fact!

Wow, you two DO make a great team! I consistently find myself voting for each of your designs in the derbies and this one is great! KLS, your sketch/concept is beautiful and Toe, your lighting skills are top notch! GMV
Re: Luau Fire
Awesome design sokowa (as always). GMV. I especially love the reflections in the water. Beautiful. Best of luck staying fog-bound.

Hmmm. This is probably the strangest comment I've ever gotten. It doesn't look like any penis I've ever seen...not that I've seen a whole lot. Maybe it's Pareidolia. Do you often see phalli in benign objects? I don't know what else to say...thanks, kinda (for a laugh at least)?

Re: pele: hell hath no fury...
Awesome design, PSICO! Two concerns, though... It's hard to tell if there are six or less colors and the design is outside of the printable area. Please consider reducing your design so that the corners fit within the artist template on your shirt comp, because designs that go outside the printable area are rejected. And then resubmit it for voting. Afterwards you can click on the little x on your first submission (next to where it says tattle) to delete it. Hope this helps and Good Luck!
bvillarreal, love this design. My favorite of those I have looked at so far. GMV and well wishes.
Re: Tiki Tiki
Cool design. I would try a flashier shirt comp in the future. Still, nice work!
Re: Tiki Beast from 50 Fathoms
tgentry, nice design. GMV. I like this one best of your entries and the rest of woot apparently agrees. Best of luck.
agreed. Also, I would try to avoid using rectangular shapes to cut off your design. It looks like really cool gradient stuff going on- I wish we could see the details. Good luck!
Re: Pacific Sunset
uhhuhhuhhuh, like the retro feel of this and the simplicity. GMV. Good luck.
Re: Dolphins
That's very pretty. I would love to have something done of turtles in a similar style for a tattoo. Good luck in the derby!
Re: Hibiscus Dreams
great work BigMonty. GMV. Best of luck with your debut.

It's an amazing design. But I'm torn about voting for it because I wouldn't actually wear it as a shirt..
Not an uncommon problem <sigh>
Re: Love @ the Luau
Really, really cute!
Re: TREEmendously Original
This is kind of like Spinal Tap. The intent was parody (forgive me if I'm worng!) but the result is actually pretty darn good!
What color shirt is that? I've never seen that on here! Is my monitor off and this is red, or is this just a color that doesn't get used much?
Re: Luau Girl
kls, toe, great collaboration. GMV. Of your entries this week, this is my favorite (I like them all though and will vote). Best of luck. On a side note, I resubmitted my design and pulled the first entry...and then I read your comment in the thread. That's twice today! I've got a lot to learn about this woot business.

kls, toe, another great collaboration. GMV. Best of luck with all of your designs.

So, its nearly time for another Supershowdown and BC promotions have put together a cracking card headlined by an A Class bout which will see Adrian Wedolowski from Caledonian Muay Thai defend his shiny new UKMF title against Fighting Fits Kevin Cottrell who once taught me a thing or two about blocking and keeping a strong guard without even trying. Seriously, it would have been embarrassing if not for the fact he was already one of the best up and coming fighters at the time, three or four years ago. The best thing about a Supershowdown show isnt the headline fights however, its that any of the A class fights on the card could be a headline at any other show in Scotland or in the UK.
As if Mescho Dunko (11-7) didnt have enough on his plate already, what with running his own gym (MMAG) and training an increasing stable of upcoming fighters. No, on top of that he also has to be one of the top fighters at his weight in the country. He will be facing Aberdeen Muay Thais Jamie Macrae (9-4) again. The first time these two guys met Macrae took a points victory but Dunko has strung a good set of wins together recently so this ones really up in the air. Im really looking forward to it.
Andrew Miller (4-2) had his opponent pull out recently but Linzie Batey (7-4) was more than happy to step up at short notice, even if it did mean he had to start taking ice baths. The two will meet at 63.5kg. Bartek Miasiks (3-3) most recent fight was a points victory over Kristian Tierney, a fight which Miasik took on one days notice. Only good things can come from his scheduled fight with the experienced Stevie Brown from the Wossobama gym in Ayr.
The two co-headline fights for Supershowdown 3 are just fantastic. If there wasnt a belt on the line in the main event, Im sure the promoters would have had to invent some sort of three-faced coin just so they could flip it to decide who heads up this show. Keith McLachlan has been getting a bit of a reputation on the UK Muay Thai circuit, and not the kind of reputation you get from hanging out at the back of a nightclub in a short skirt either. The boy can fight, and even when hes beaten up, past the point of exhaustion and clearly losing, he still has enough fight in him to keep firing back with a huge grin on his face. Hell be facing Rung in a rematch at 60kg in an attempt to avenge his stoppage loss back on Hostile Intentions 5.
Before the headline fight, we will be treated to two of the most technical fighters in the country facing off as Gordon Smith (13-2-2) from Caledonian Muay Thai battles with Bad Companys James France (22-2-1) in an Auld Enemy clash at 67.5kg. The full fight card is as follows:
Brad Newlands (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. Scott Ferguson (Eclipse Muay Thai), 54kg Junior
Michael Anderson (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. John Jack (Eclipse Muay Thai), 55kg C Class
Martin McCann (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. Stephen Tyre (POS Fight Team), 61kg C Class
Timucin Yildirum (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. Allan Strachan (AMAG), 71kg B Class
Michael Murdoch (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. Kris Connolly (POS Fight Team), 67kg B Class
Mani Singh (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. Colin Murphy (North Ayrshire Muay Thai), 61kg B Class
Andrew Primrose (Caledonian Muay Thai) vs. Scott Grier (Wossobama), 68kg B Class
Scott Morrison (Aberdeen Muay Thai) vs. Steven Ray (Fighting Fit), 77kg B Class

Mescho Dunko (M-Mag) vs. Jamie Macrae (Aberdeen Muay Thai), 68kg A Class

Duck Report as of November 26, 2012
MS Delta Ducks Season hunt program is off to a favorable start. Friday was a balmy morning with a temperature of 53 Degrees Fahrenheit at sunrise. Saturday and Sunday brought more favorable duck hunting temperatures of 28 Degrees Fahrenheit and 27 Degrees Fahrenheit respectively. Ten species of waterfowl were harvested. The game haulers boasted canvasback, gadwall, greenwing teal, mallards, northern shovelers, pintail, redheads, ring neck, specklebelly geese, and wood ducks. One band was collected (specklebelly) by the Turkey Bayou Hunt Group who had two greenwing teal, two northern shovelers, seven mallards, and two specks in their bags on opening morning. Not a bad start! Very impressed that the Duck Dusters' wives chose to be in the blind with the guys instead of at the mall. They had a good shoot which included a redhead and a canvasback. Worthy beginning toward the MS Delta Ducks Grand Slam. Speaking of which, Joel bagged his first duck (northern shoveler) while hunting with his group and Britt Goodman in the Lake Henry Backwater Slough. The Sidon Shovelers began with a bang, collecting three limits (gadwall, greenwing teal, and northern shovelers) at Rattlesnake Bayou Grain. The Fowl Mouth Retrievers did an outstanding job of hunting the outlying areas, stacking up gadwall and teal in Hawkins Brake and Lake Henry Backwater Slough. Brake hunts on opening weekend met predictions as groups of gadwall and teal appeared suddenly. The woodies made appearances also with Field Staff Emeritus, Nash Evans, missing one at ten yards out in Hawkins Brake (MS Delta Dog Wake had to cover his eyes in shame). The overall quality of birds was better than last season (larger percentage of big ducks), and the numbers were an almost perfect match to 2011-2012. We had fewer hunters in the blinds than in 2011-2012.
Opening weekend duck harvest was 661 ducks

J.J. Clark
J.J. Clark is in his 13th year at Tennessee, where he spent eight seasons as head coach of the women's cross country and track & field programs before also assuming leadership of the men's track & field team prior to the 2009-10 campaign.
In 2011-12, Clark added another responsibility to his list, as he took over coaching duties of the men's cross country and distance units after coaching only the women's group the past nine years.
A two-time NCAA and six-time SEC champion coach with the Lady Vol track & field and cross country teams from 2002-09, Clark heads up one of the most storied collegiate programs in the nation. The cross country teams have thrived at UT, boasting a national championship and 30 SEC titles between them since their inception. The men's and women's teams also have made a combined 44 appearances at national championship meets and hosted the NCAA Championships together in 1990 at Pine Lakes Golf Course in nearby Rockford, Tenn.
On the oval, Tennessee has won seven national championships and claimed 51 SEC titles (22 indoors/29 outdoors) in track & field through the years.
The architect of an amazing reclamation project with the women's cross country and track & field programs at Rocky Top, Clark spent seven impressive seasons in Knoxville before assuming control of both the men's and women's teams. During that time, the women's cross country program benefited immensely from Clark's tutelage, claiming SEC hardware from 2003-05 and NCAA South Region plaques from 2002-05, and making NCAA Championships appearances from 2002-06. He stands as the all-time winningest women's cross country coach in the history of UT Athletics.
On the trails, his distaff troops carved out eight consecutive top-three performances at the SEC Championships (2002-09), including three runner-up finishes to go along with the three victories. At the regional level, Team Orange has wound up fourth or better in eight of 11 seasons under his watch, finishing third three times along with the four triumphs the squad has enjoyed.
During the track & field portion of the season, he has directed the Lady Vols to NCAA Indoor National Championships in 2005 and 2009, SEC Indoor Championships in 2005, 2007 and 2009, and an NCAA Mideast Regional crown outdoors in 2005.
With Clark at the helm, Tennessee has enjoyed six top-five NCAA women's track & field finishes (Indoors: 1st in 2005 and 2009, 2nd in 2010, 3rd in 2007 and 4th in 2004; Outdoors: 4th in 2005) and five additional top-10 outings (Indoors: 7th in 2011, t8th in 2008; Outdoors: t7th in 2004, t9th in 2012, t10th in 2009) during his stay in Knoxville. UT also has nine SEC top-three outcomes (seven indoors, two outdoors) since 2003, with runner-up efforts indoors in 2004 and 2008 in addition to the titles won in 2005, 2007 and 2009. He now is trying to match that feat with the men's team.
Clark has been recognized far and wide for his acumen in track & field and cross country, earning a total of 21 coach of the year accolades (11 track & field/10 cross country) during a career which also includes 10 seasons as women's cross country coach and assistant track & field coach at Florida (1992-2002).
Among his 10 honors for cross country, Clark is a five-time South Region Women's Coach of the Year (1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) and a five-time SEC Women's Coach of the Year (1996, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2005). His 1996 and 1997 recognitions came while he was at Florida.
The crafty skipper twice has been named national women's collegiate indoor track & field coach of the year, reaping the award from the USTFCCCA in 2009 and the USTCA in 2005. Nike selected him as its 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year as well.
Clark has garnered regional track & field coach of the year distinction on five occasions, collecting USTFCCCA South Region Indoor women's accord in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and USTCA South Region Indoor and Mideast Region Outdoor women's kudos in 2005.
At the SEC level, the Big Orange boss was named the SEC Women's Indoor Track & Field Coach of the Year in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
While winning national and conference titles now are annual, and realistic, goals, turning recruits into top-flight competitors has long been a hallmark of Clark and the Tennessee program. In cross country, Clark has groomed 14 female athletes who have totaled 31 All-South Region awards in 11 seasons and 14 who've accumulated 23 total All-SEC honors. He added his first male honorees in 2011, as Austin Whitelaw earned SEC All-Freshman status and Chris Bodary made the All-South Region squad. Clark added his first Vol All-American harrier in 2012, as Peter Okwera posted a top-30 finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championship, becoming the Vols' first All-American since 2005. Okwera earned All-American, All-South Region and All-SEC honors in his first season with the Big Orange.
In addition to qualifying women's teams for the NCAA Championships from 2002 to 2006, he also had Jackie Areson (2008, 2009, 2010), Sarah Bowman (2008), Brittany Sheffey (2011) and Katie Van Horn (2009, 2010) qualify as individuals, with Bowman placing 36th in 2008 to become the first female cross country All-American at Tennessee since Sharon Dickie in 2000.
During Clark's 10 years at the wheel of Tennessee track & field, 46 athletes (37 female/nine male) have combined to earn 199 (186 female/13 male) All-America certificates, with his charges collecting 12 NCAA titles (nine indoors and three outdoors, all by women). He also has produced 55 SEC championships (53 by women [29 indoors/24 outdoors] and two by men [one indoors/one outdoors] during that time period. Evander Wells was his first male All-America recipient, taking fourth in the 200m outdoors in 2010.
Two of Clark's pupils, 400m whiz DeeDee Trotter and long jump ace Tianna Madison, ascended to stardom on the international stage before their college days were through, resulting in their early departures for the lucrative world of professional track & field.
Among UT's 12 national women's event winners under Clark's watch are 2011 indoor 5000m champ Jackie Areson, 2010 indoor and outdoor 800m champ Phoebe Wright, 2009 indoor mile champ and NCAA meet-record-holder Bowman, 2005 indoor and outdoor long jump winner Madison, 2004 indoor 800m champ Nicole Cook, 2004 outdoor 400m winner Trotter, 2004 DMR legs Brooke Novak, Trotter, Cook and Lindsay Hyatt; 2008 DMR contributors Brittany Sheffey, Brittany Jones, Wright and Bowman; 2009 world-record-setting DMR members Wright, Chanelle Price, Jones and Bowman, who checked in with a sizzling 10:50.98 readout to rewrite women's history, and 2010 DMR victors Wright, Ellen Wortham, Price and Sheffey.
In the classroom, Clark's high expectations have been met with equal success, as his track & field/cross country troops have tallied 236 (181 women/55 men) SEC Academic Honor Roll recognitions, 27 female Capital One Academic All-District nods and 12 female Academic All-America citations since 2002.
Bowman became his first two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honoree in 2009, as she followed up second-team distinction in 2008 with first-team status as a senior. Also earning accolades in 2009 were first-teamer Wright and second-team selection Amanda Alexander. Wright would repeat and be named Academic All-American of the Year for track & field/cross country, while Areson also made the first team in 2010 and Price followed in 2011. In 2012, Price would repeat the feat as past teammates by garnering Capital One Academic All-American of the Year honors. Katie Flaute and Christina Billings were second-team ESPN The Magazine honorees in 2007 and 2003, respectively, while Felicia Guliford garnered Academic All-America acclaim from the Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association in fall 2004.
Additionally, Clark's team and individuals are consistently honored by the USTFCCCA and SEC for academics. In 2008 and 2009, Bowman was named both the USTFCCCA Indoor Women's Track Scholar Athlete of the Year and the SEC Women's Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also joined Guliford and Wright as Lady Vol harriers nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year.
Wright's 2010 campaign was highlighted by the H. Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, SEC Track & Field Scholar Athlete of the Year, an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and USTFCCCA Indoor Track Scholar Athlete of the Year, giving UT the honor three years running. The Lady Vols also were recognized as the USTFCCCA Indoor Scholar Team of the Year in both 2009 and 2010.
Price followed in the footsteps of Bowman and Wright. She became UT's fourth-straight SEC Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year honoree in 2011 as a co-winner. Wortham continued the streak for the Lady Vols in 2012, adding the same honor to her resume.
In 2004, Clark returned the Big Orange women to vogue at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa., as the Lady Vol contingent pulled off a hat trick of baton event victories at the Penn Relays. Tennessee quartets captured a trio of "Championships of America" in the distance medley, 4x800m and sprint medley relays, with the latter establishing a collegiate record. UT, which also added a sprint medley relay title in 2006 and a DMR crown in 2007, had not won that many relays in Philly since 1984.
Tennessee once again pulled off a triple in 2009 and 2010, with Bowman earning athlete of the meet honors for playing a role in UT winning the DMR, 4x1500m and 4x800m events in 2009. The 4x1500m unit ran a world-record clocking, while the 4x8 brought the baton home in an American-record readout. Wright, meanwhile, was instrumental in leading UT to victories in those races in 2010. The Lady Vols added their 20th overall baton-event title at the Penn Relays and the 12th under Clark in 2012, winning the sprint medley relay. The quartet of Price, Wortham, Brittany Jones and Martinique Octave crossed the line in 3:43.79, the third-best time in UT history. The relay team was honored as the top SMR squad of the 2012 outdoor season by Accusplit.
Those 2009 efforts came after an indoor campaign where the Lady Vols twice posted eye-catching marks in the DMR. First, UT ran 10:56.40 for an American record at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. Then, the Big Orange won the NCAA title in March with the aforementioned world best.
Speaking of records, there also have been some other league and NCAA women's marks set on Clark's watch. Among them, the 2004, 2010 and 2011 DMRs lowered the SEC record to 11:16.61, 11:14.59 and 11:05.37, respectively, while Cook's 2005 collegiate record in the 800m also stands as an SEC best.
Madison's leap of 22-8.50 at the 2005 SEC Outdoor meet, while not a record due to a slight gust of 2.2 mps, stood then as the best mark in the 28 years that women had competed in the long jump at the conference championships. Madison's measurement of 22-3 at the 2005 NCAA Indoor meet, meanwhile, tied Carol Lewis' American collegiate record and was just short of the NCAA standard.
During Clark's first 10 years on The Hill, UT women's marks in 17 events indoors and 19 events outdoors have been revised, while one men's best (outdoors) has been eclipsed since 2010.
In addition to that, 21 Lady Vol freshman records (10 indoors/11 outdoors) have fallen, and four Vol rookie standards (3 indoors/1 outdoors) have tumbled.
Internationally, Tennessee also returned to the scene under Clark, the 2008 U.S. Olympic women's middle distance coach. His former athletes Bowman (1500m), Cook (800m), Madison (LJ/4x100mR), Trotter (400m/4x400mR), Bennett (800m), Shanna Dickenson (throws), Dickie (distance/XC), Lynne Layne (sprints), Jeneba Tarmoh (sprints) and Cleo Tyson (sprints) and Price (800m), have performed well for Team USA. In addition, ex-Lady Vols Annie Alexander (throws), Rose-Anne Galligan (distance/XC), Toyin Olupona (sprints) and Patricia Hall (sprints), meanwhile, have been fine representatives for Trinidad & Tobago, Ireland, Canada and Jamaica, respectively. Former Vol Justin Hunter became Clark's first international male competitor, finishing sixth in the long jump at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships.
World success showered the Big Orange at the 2012 London Olympics, finishing with a program-record six medals. Trotter, who won gold in the same event at the 2004 Athens Games, led off the U.S. 4x400-meter relay to a gold medal and added a bronze in the 400m. Trotter was a junior at UT when she won gold in 2004 under the direction of Clark. Madison added a gold for the USA in the 4x100m relay to help pace University of Tennessee athletes to a school-record 10 medals.
Clark advanced two (wife Jearl Miles-Clark and sister Hazel Clark) to the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, where Miles-Clark wound up sixth in her fifth trip to the Olympiad, while a freak accident prevented Clark from advancing beyond the prelims in her second visit to the Games.
Hazel would also qualify for the 2008 Games, competing for her brother, J.J., who served as the women's middle distance coach for the U.S. In 2005, Madison would leap to international stardom, winning the long jump at the IAAF World Outdoor Championships.
Clark's impact has been felt beyond the programs he coaches, as well, as his squads' SEC and NCAA finishes have fueled the most extensive department-wide spree of female sport success in the history of UT Athletics. The Lady Vols were declared the SEC women's all-sports winners in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 by the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group. Though the Lady Vols and Tennessee finished second in the SEC all-sports standings in 2006-07, the women's and men's programs combined to place seventh nationally in the U.S. Sports Academy Director's Cup standings, marking UT's highest ranking in history.
One of the most respected distance coaches in the nation, Clark enjoyed 10 successful seasons as an assistant from 1992 to 2002 at the University of Florida and spent the 1991-92 year there as a graduate assistant. His group of athletes played a key role in Florida's SEC Indoor and Outdoor track & field titles in 1997 and 1998, its indoor crown in 2002 and its third-place national finish indoors in 2002. It has been estimated that his charges accumulated more than 650 points in SEC action and 110-plus at the NCAA level during his 10 seasons as a full-time aide.
During his tenure with the Gators, Clark groomed two athletes who combined for three SEC Athlete of the Year awards in cross country and track, and developed competitors who racked up five NCAA Championships, 44 NCAA All-America citations and 32 conference championship plaques. Among those were his sister, Hazel, a three-time national champ in the 800 meters and the SEC Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year in 1998 and 1999, and Becki Wells, a two-time victor in the mile/1500 meters and the 1996 SEC Cross Country Athlete of the Year. Both own the school records in their respective events, part of a total of 12 such marks accomplished by Clark-tutored athletes at Florida.
In cross country, Clark led the school to its first-ever team appearance at the NCAA Championships in 1994. UF was extended invitations four more times to the national meet under his leadership, going in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and charting a top team finish of 16th on the third of its five trips. Clark also guided Florida to SEC titles in 1996 and 1997, and the Gators claimed NCAA regional titles in 1997 and 1998.
Among those drawing kudos for their standout cross country performances were Wells, the 1995 and 1996 SEC champion, and Hilary White, the 2000 SEC Freshman Athlete of the Year. Additionally, Wells and Velsen picked up All-America citations during their careers.
As mentioned previously, Clark's influence also extends into the international arena, and his history of preparing athletes for competition is second to none. Proof of that was evident in 2000, when three of his pupils, sisters Joetta and Hazel and wife Jearl, finished one-two-three in the 800m at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Calif., and went on to represent America in Sydney.
During his time as head of "Team Clark," the 1986 Villanova graduate prepared Joetta to compete in four Olympics prior to retiring, Jearl to make five appearances and win two Olympic golds and two world championships, and Hazel to make the finals in her initial trip to the Olympics in 2000 and qualify again in 2004 and 2008. His spouse also maintains the American record she set in the 800m in 1999 and was the 2004 Olympic Trials champion and 2003 USATF outdoor victor in the 800m as well as the 2002 winner in the 400m.
In addition to the familial success, he also coached three-time Olympian Mark Everett to a No. 1 USA ranking and fourth-place world rating in the 800 meters. Nike recognized Clark for his work in continuing to develop world-class athletes, naming him the 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year.
Clark's abilities have also been noticed and rewarded by his sport's national governing body. After serving as an assistant for the U.S. women at the 1999 IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Greece, he would receive the honor of being named head coach of the 2001 team in Edmonton, Canada. As previously mentioned, he later earned the distinction of being the middle distance coach for the U.S. women at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
A product of Maplewood, N.J., and a graduate of Columbia High School, Clark made trips to Knoxville during his teen years to watch his sister Joetta compete for the Lady Vols and saw her help Tennessee win the 1981 AIAW National Outdoor Championship. Those examples left an impression on the younger brother, and he blazed his own trail in track & field.
First, he set his own standard of excellence in running, winning the New Jersey high school state title in the mile and two-mile as a senior in 1982. With that kind of effort, he then earned a scholarship to Villanova, where he would develop into a sub-four minute miler in his competitive days en route to qualifying for the 1988 U.S Olympic Trials.
After graduating from VU in May of 1986 with a B.A. in communications, Clark returned to his prep alma mater and served as assistant track coach. While at CHS from 1986 to 1989, he worked with the girls' and boys' middle distance and sprints corps. Then, in 1991, he made his transition into collegiate coaching, serving as a graduate assistant at Florida for one year before being hired full time there.
Clark, who resides in Knoxville with wife Jearl and son Jorell, studied anatomy and physiology coursework in graduate school at UF. Bridging the gap between his high school coaching and college experience, he also took courses in nutrition and exercise physiology in 1990 at Kean College in Union, N.J., and became certified as a licensed sports massage therapist in 1991 from the Florida School of Massage in Gainesville. His father is Joe Lewis Clark, the bat-wielding principal of Paterson, New Jersey's Eastside High School, depicted by actor Morgan Freeman in the 1989 movie "Lean on Me."

Arsène Wenger insists it would be "criminal" for Arsenal to feel sorry for themselves after their setbacks in Milan and Sunderland.
A 4-0 defeat at the San Siro and a 2-0 reverse at the Stadium of Light have all but ended the Gunners' hopes of landing a trophy this season but they have a number of big games on the horizon - starting with the North London derby against Tottenham on Sunday.
Wenger has called on his players to pick themselves up and finish the campaign on a high.
"It is not the easiest task but that is part of our job," he said.
"You can't complain - we are in a fantastic job and we have a big game in front of us. To feel sorry for ourselves would be criminal. We have a good opportunity to show that we have character, that we have the mental qualities to play for this Club and so let's go for it."
It has been a bad week or so for Wenger but the Frenchman believes his team can maintain its momentum in the Premier League.
"We had disappointing results, especially in Milan," he said.
"The Sunderland game was a bit unfortunate for two reasons: we played three away games on difficult pitches and the game was positioned on an impossible day for us after coming back from Milan. We lost a game against a team with zero shots on target, we scored two own goals.
"We were a bit unlucky because Sunderland played well but there was a 100 per cent penalty on Robin van Persie, things went against us but we won just one week before against Sunderland in the league.
"In the championship we have drawn 0-0 at Bolton and beat Blackburn with a good score. Let's continue our run. No matter what we say at the moment it will be printed in a negative way. So it is up to us to transform that in a positive way."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

"We haven't heard anything from Bayern Munich about Landon [Donovan] going on loan to that team." -- MLS Commissioner Don Garber at a press conference last Friday. On
Thursday, Bayern Munich's official Web site reported that Landon Donovan had gotten the oral go-ahead from MLS to go on loan to Bayern Munich from Jan. 1 until the beginning of the
MLS season in March in a deal similar to Galaxy's teammate David Beckham's with AC Milan. The Bayern Web site also cited Bayern coach Juergen Klinsmann as saying he

Grinder, dremel, or files?
there should not be any conflicts fitting a standard 20" H-bar to the triangular hand-guards.
you need to show us some photos of what the problem is.
i have fitted the triangle HGs to the 7.62x39 H-barrel with a hidden gas block --the gas block is far bigger than .750" there shouldn't be any problem unless you got a bull barrel--
some photos right now would certainly help us see WTH is going on.
a stock H-barrel with regular barrel nut --should fit.
this was called a heavy barrel. you can see it in midway usa barrel section dpms 20" heavy nato preban barrel with front sight.
Similar to this?
DPMS Barrel AR-15 5.56x45mm NATO Heavy Contour 1 9 Twist 20 Chrome
that looks like the varmit.
my h-bar barrel is .875" right at the gas block, my USGI surplus a1 triangle hand-guards just slipped right on there-- no fitting grinding no nothing--
the triangle HGs have some room there -- to me it looks like anything smaller than a bull-barrel should work and none of the GI type barrels with the front sight should be so large in diameter to be a problem--
now where is it not fitting ? the front or on the back near the barrel nut?
this barrel is .980 at the front sight and that is the biggy so it might be a bull barrel. now dpms says their a2 guards will fit but doing a a1 retro so trying to make it work or change to a pencil barrel which i think would been better but son likes that heavy thing.
OK that is the deal you got a bull barrel --- yea the barrel opening on the front of my a1 hand-guards is .899"
@ .980" your probably going to have to do something with the heat shields as well.
if you can fir them it is going to be very -very close ===:salute:
just checked the triangle GIs --they look like they can be opened up to .985" YMMV--LOL
regular round hand guards from an A2 look to have more than enough opening for the .980 bull barrels.
yes but i hope i can talk him into a regular pencil barrel so i can shoot the thing but push comes to pull i will break out the dremel and let it rip and thanks for all the info.

High school crews hit Lake Massabesic Saturday for regatta
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader | September 24. 2013 9:40PM
Derryfield single crew rower Regina Salmons runs for her oars after setting her boat in Merrimack River during practice in Hooksett on Monday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
For the first time since at least 1882, the lake will play host to a racing regatta with rowers traversing in sleek, colorful shells.
But Lussier and his crew hope to achieve a longer-term goal for the lake.
The course will stretch about three miles across the lake, which provides drinking water to residents in Manchester and parts of surrounding towns.
The finish line will be near the picnic tables and parking lot just south of the Massabesic traffic circle.
Mayor Ted Gatsas, whose attendance at a regatta in Pembroke a few years ago helped stir his interest, convinced the Manchester Water Works to spend $35,000 in surplus funds to build a dock near St. Peter Church in Auburn to aid the regatta.
"I think it's exciting to go and have new scenery on the lake where no one's ever rowed," Ashooh said.
Crew is not a varsity sport in the state, but some student rowers benefit by getting school credit for gym.
Lussier noted that adopting crew as a varsity sport would limit a student's participation to one season, either spring or fall, whereas rowers in a club sport can participate year-round.
"I personally like the club sport as it is, but there are some who would like to see the city fund it as a sport," he said.
Bowling took a couple of years to add, but bass fishing needed only a little over a year, he said.
For now, regatta organizers are hoping for a successful event to help build momentum to get other schools to establish teams.

- OpenMP Fortran 2.0 Specification Released
- Quick Tip
Afternoon Tea with Don Morton
When: Tuesday, Jan 23rd at 4pm. Where: Meet in Butrovich 108
Come discuss your cluster questions and parallel teaching challenges. Professor Morton's specialty is in building and using Unix clusters for high performance computing research and education.
Don Morton Department of Computer Science The University of Montana Missoula, Montana firstname.lastname@example.com
SGI Performance Monitoring with perfex
The perfex command on SGI R10000 and R12000 systems gives statistics from the hardware event counters, much as the hpm command does on Cray PVP platforms. It's available on the ARSC Onyx2, "video2"; the octanes; and the ERDC/ARSC Origin 3800.Basic use of perfex is trivial. As with hpm, there's no need to recompile. Simply launch your program using the perfex command. In the following example, -a -y -mp -o px are all arguments to perfex , and ./a.out is the name of the executable:
video2$ perfex -a -y -mp -o px ./a.outSee "man perfex" for details and more options, but here's what these do:
-a: Report estimates for all possible events by sampling all counters. -y: Estimate actual costs for various interesting events. -mp: Report per-thread counts for multiprocessing programs as well as (default) totals. -o px: Store the per-thread counts and overall counts in separate files, using "px" when naming the files. "px" will be the name of the file containing overall counts. "px.<PID>" will be the name of the file for the thread with process id, "<PID>".
Thus, if a.out is a multi-threading program and it runs with 8 threads, the above command will produce 9 files. Eight for individual threads and a ninth for the overall totals.
Below is an example of the overall output from such a run. There are two tables, the first with event counter values and time estimates, the second with some interpreted rates. Note that to make the first table fit this newsletter format, I removed two columns. They were:
Minimum Maximum Time (sec) Time (sec) =========== ===========
These columns quantify the uncertainty in the Time estimates, inherent in the sampling method. The values in these columns always bracket the "Typical Time (sec)" values. For example, the values I removed for the first row, "0 Cycles," were actually identical to the "Typical Time" values: "67.763404" and "67.763404".
Here's the contents of the file "px":

To try to understand all this, read SGI's on-line manual, Origin2000 and Onyx2 Performance Tuning and Optimization Guide , Chapter 4, Profiling and Analyzing Program Behavior . Like all SGI manuals, this is readily available at:
Table 4-1 : Derived Statistics Reported by perfex -y Statistic Graduated instructions per cycle: When the R10000 is used to best advantage, this exceeds 1.0. When it is below 1.0, the CPU is idling some of the time. Graduated floating point instructions per cycle: Relative density of floating-point operations in the program. Graduated loads & stores per cycle: Relative density of memory-access in the program. Graduated loads & stores per floating point instruction: Helps characterize the program as data processing versus mathematical. Mispredicted branches \xf7 Decoded branches: Important measure of the effectiveness of branch prediction, and of code quality. Graduated loads \xf7 Issued loads: When less than 1.0, shows that loads are being reissued because of cache misses. Graduated stores \xf7 Issued stores: When less than 1.0, shows that stores are being reissued because of cache misses or contention between threads or between CPUs. Data mispredictions \xf7 Data scache hits: The count of data misprediction from scache way prediction, as a fraction of all secondary data cache misses. Instruction mispredictions \xf7 Instruction scache hits: The count of instruction misprediction from scache way prediction, as a fraction of all secondary instruction cache misses. L1 Cache Line Reuse: The average number of times that a primary data cache line is used after it has been moved into the cache. Calculated as graduated loads plus graduated stores minus primary data cache misses, divided by primary data cache misses. L2 Cache Line Reuse: The average number of times that a secondary data cache line is used after it has been moved into the cache. Calculated as primary data cache misses minus secondary data cache misses, divided by secondary data cache misses. L1 Data Cache Hit Rate: The fraction of data accesses satisfied from the L1 data cache. Calculated as 1.0 - (L1 data cache misses \xf7 (graduated loads + graduated stores)). L2 Data Cache Hit Rate: The fraction of data accesses satisfied from the L2 cache. Calculated as 1.0 - (L2 data cache misses \xf7 primary data cache misses). Time accessing memory \xf7 Total time: A key measure of time spent idling, waiting for operands. Calculated as the sum of the typical costs of graduated loads and stores, L1 data cache misses, L2 data cache misses, and TLB misses, all divided by the total run time in cycles. L1-L2 bandwidth used (MBps, average per process): The amount of data moved between the L1 and L2 data caches, divided by the total run time. The amount of data is taken as: L1 data cache misses times L1 cache line size, plus quadwords written back from L1 data cache times the size of a quadword (16 bytes). For parallel programs, the counts are aggregates over all threads, divided by number of threads. Multiply by the number of threads for total program bandwidth. Memory bandwidth used (MBps, average per process): The amount of data moved between L2 cache and main memory, divided by the total run time. The amount of data is taken as: L2 data cache misses times L2 cache line size, plus quadwords written back from L2 cache times the size of a quadword (16 bytes). For parallel programs, the counts are aggregates over all threads, divided by number of threads. Multiply by the number of threads to get the total program bandwidth. MFLOPS (average per process): The ratio of graduated floating-point instructions and total run time. Note that a multiply-add carries out two operations, but counts as only one instruction, so this statistic can be an underestimate. For parallel programs, the counts are aggregates over all threads, divided by number of threads. Multiply by the number of threads to get the total program rate.
The perfex "-mp" option gives you a quick way to check load balance. You can grep any interesting statistic out of the per-thread output files, and compare, thread by thread. Using output from the same a.out run used above, here's an example:
video2$ egrep -i "Graduated instructions/cycle" px* px: Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.368454 px.0000547100:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.273813 px.0000554480:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.281495 px.0000554482:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.320702 px.0000554495:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.314730 px.0000554496:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.340351 px.0000554497:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.874657 px.0000554529:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.262788 px.0000554551:Graduated instructions/cycle................. 0.274474
From this output, PID 0000554497 was 2-3 times busier than any other thread--and was presumably making them wait. We can do another grep to see if it was doing "useful" computations, which I'll define as floating point operations, as opposed to loads/stores and other bookkeeping:
video2$ grep "Graduated floating point instructions/cycle" px* px: Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.012382 px.0000547100:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.013118 px.0000554480:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.011290 px.0000554482:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.012554 px.0000554495:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.013405 px.0000554496:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.006219 px.0000554497:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.013367 px.0000554529:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.016233 px.0000554551:Graduated floating point instructions/cycle.. 0.013081
From these results, it looks like the useful computations are pretty evenly distributed. The imbalance is due to something else, like communication, a memory access pattern, I/O, etc...
If you need to restrict event counting to a specific portion of code, like a computational kernel, you can instrument your code manually using the routines in "libperfex".

OpenMP Fortran 2.0 Specification Released
We were glad to see the following announcement on:
11/03/2000 The Fortran 2.0 Application Program Interface is ready! Kudos to the OpenMP Fortran sub-committee for achieving this major milestone. After over two years of effort, the OpenMP ARB is pleased to present a major enhancement to the Fortran API. Major new features in the 2.0 specification include:
- Array reductions
- Parallelization of F90 array syntax via the WORKSHARE directive
- COPYPRIVATE for broadcast of sequential reads
- Privatization of module data
- Privatization of deferred shape and assumed shape objects
- Portable timing routines
- Nested locks
- Control of the number of threads for multi-level parallelism
- Relaxed reprivatization rules
In addition to the above, several minor features have been added and many interpretations addressed and incorporated into the text.
It will be a lot easier to parallelize Fortran 90 code once the vendors implement these changes in their compilers.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I use "mpirun" to launch jobs on my cluster and it's a hassle. [[ The command lines get elaborate and long, I make typos and forget [[ various options and flags. Any Suggestions? From "man mpirun" on the SV1: ----------------------------- Using a File for mpirun Arguments Because the full specification of a complex job can be lengthy, you can enter mpirun arguments in a file and use the -f option to specify the file on the mpirun command line, as in the following example: mpirun -f my_arguments The arguments file is a text file that contains argument segments. White space is ignored in the arguments file, so you can include spaces and newline characters for readability. An arguments file can also contain additional -f options. Q: I don't understand the difference between the OpenMP constructs: !$omp master ... !$omp end master and !$omp single ... !$omp end single Aren't they rather redundant? Why use "single"?

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a romantic relationship between two members of the cast of a play, film or television series, especially a relationship that ends when the play, series, etc finishes
The former Celebrity Big Brother winners started dating in June, but many have questioned whether their relationship is genuine. Cynics have suggested the relationship is a 'showmance' designed to keep the pair's names in the press, but the pair took the opportunity during a television interview – where else? – to set the record straight.metro.co.uk 4th August 2011
If you're on the lookout for a bit of 'no-strings-attached' romance this Valentine's Day, then you might want to take inspiration from those who work in the entertainment industry, where relationships can surface and disappear as regularly as the light of day. Among the occupational 'perks' enjoyed by many of the actors that grace our theatres, cinemas and TV screens, is the opportunity for a showmance, that romantic dalliance between two cast members which can last for however long is convenient.
a key attribute of a showmance is that it tends to only last for the duration of the show in which the individuals work
A showmance is a relationship which develops between performers in a play, film or television series. Though there are a number of notable cases of these kind of romances leading to lasting relationships (such as for example the marriage in June 2011 of actors Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig, who began dating while working together on a film in the previous year – it remains to be seen how enduring their relationship will be), a key attribute of a showmance is that it tends to only last for the duration of the show in which the individuals work together, usually coming to an abrupt end shortly after the final episode or performance.
Though there may be genuine, if rather short-lived, romantic attraction involved, showmances are often viewed as publicity stunts, such relationships inevitably attracting a great deal of media interest which can be used to promote the show where the romance 'blossomed'. Such criticism has for instance been levelled at young actors Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, whose showmance seems to be gaining momentum as the release of the film in which they star, The Amazing Spiderman (Columbia Pictures, July 2012), draws closer. Showmances are particularly prevalent in reality TV shows (e.g. Big Brother), and also other kinds of entertainment which involve an intrinsic 'coupling' of the participants (as in for instance BBC TV's Strictly Come Dancing or its US/Australian counterpart Dancing with the Stars). In reality shows which have a competitive element and require viewers' support, participants can use showmances as a mechanism for persuading viewers to vote for them – if they keep them in the show, then they'll be able to see the 'romance' continue.
Though mainly used in reference to celebrity romances, the word showmance is now sometimes used more broadly to refer to any kind of contrived romance in which people fake being in love because they have ulterior motives for doing so.
Showmance is a blend of the words show and romance which originated in the theatre to describe romances which developed between fellow actors on stage, later transferring to film and television. On the model of romance and romantic, there's also some evidence for use of the word showmantic, which can function as both an adjective and a noun to describe such relationships or those involved.
A near synonym is the new term fauxmance, a blend of faux ('artificial') and romance, used to refer to a fake romance between celebrities (who may or may not work together) which has been deliberately contrived in order to attract media attention.
An earlier blend on the same pattern is bromance, a combination of brother and romance coined in the early noughties to refer to a close but non-sexual relationship between two men. Bromance and derived adjective bromantic hit the spotlight in late 2011 as an apt characterization of the relationship between fictional characters Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson in the context of discussions surrounding both the new BBC TV series and the recently released Warner Brothers film Sherlock Holmes – A Game of Shadows.

5-Ingredient Fast Dinners
Get healthy recipes for convenient, comforting meals, plus a printable shopping list.
My sister has been known to call me lazy, but I think that's too pejorative. Just because my motto is "There must be an easier way to do this," that doesn't mean I'm lazy: I just appreciate a good shortcut. This week's shortcut: dinner recipes with an ingredient list I can count on one hand.
Each of the dinners here has just five ingredients (not counting oil, water, salt and pepper, which I don't—those are just things you never seem to run out of). That kind of simplicity means a lot less work. I only have to remember five things to buy per recipe—and just about all of the ingredients are in the title. That means my shopping list is short and it's just not going to cost me that much to make dinner tonight. I'm in and out of the store (yes, express checkout!) and home cooking in a flash.

Hi all,
I originally posted this in the MA forum (as I'm a Mass-hole), but thought I'd post in adjoining states as well - all about percentages.
I'm fairly new to sea-ducking, but am hooked in a big way.
I have a getting started question that is specific to sea ducks. Without a boat (ours is away for the winter and a true bear to launch/recover anyway) or a dog to retrieve birds, is there any way to get out for sea ducks?
I'm gtg with decoys, etc. and was wondering if there are any places where I could set up with a kayak (have one) or canoe (could get one)? Not necessarily to hunt from it, but just use it to get set/recover.
ANY other suggestions welcome! It's killing me not being able to get out there now that I have some free time....
Thanks for help/opinions.
PS- I know that going with a guide is a great option, but I both like to do things myself (more satisfying) and all the guides I've called are booked!
PPS - always looking for hunting partners - PM me if you're looking/have an open spot you need filled.

Miller actually worry s me and its not because I think he is a better fighter then Connor its because on the few occasions Iv seen him fight he just always seems to find a way to win. I guess im just a bit worried after seeing him beat Pearson and Ogle and with all the high hopes we have for him it would be a tragedy if a cocky guy like Miller some how managed to fluke it. Just saying i would not be gutted if Conner got offered anybody else at all as I dont know what it is about Miller but I just see him as a bogie for our nation and nations close to ours fighters.
If im talking shit feel free to say lol but I see Miller as very dangerous.
Edit and just so you know I rate Conner as high as I rate any European in the world.

I've NEVER known as much hype as what Connor has. It's ridiculous. He's definitely got a bright future ahead of him.

text: I know the season is still early, but this is the direction the 2011-12 year will ultimately head for the Pistons (despite Jerebko's promise of playoffs). With the shortened 66-game season, most teams are nearly through a quarter of their schedule already. As of now, Detroit sits in 3rd place, just one game back: 1. Washington 2-12 2. Charlotte 3-12, 0.5 GB 3. Detroit 3-11, 1 GB 4. New Orleans 3-10, Toronto 4-11, New Jersey 4-11, 1.5 GB There are still a lot of teams in the hunt for the most ping pong balls.

This information is forwarded to all AK Forum members on behalf of NoDAK
Let us know if you are ready to send in payment for one or more RPK74
(caliber 5.45x39) receivers. This is our receiver model NDS-8. Based on the
response we get, we will decide whether to make a production run of RPK74
receivers, and how many to make.
Here is a list of features for the RPK74 receiver:
* Made of 0.062 (1.5748mm) 4130 steel
* Fully heat treated
* Dedicated RPK74 lower rails spot welded in place, lower sections of
the lower rails act as guides for the inserted magazine; no mag well
* Mid support rivet installed
* Sent out in the white
* No predrilled rivet holes for the front trunion or rear block
* No right side selector markings
* No right side selector detents
* Authentic emboss on the receiver bottom
* One slot in the receiver bottom for a single hook trigger
* Manufacturer, model, caliber and serial number markings on the
receiver bottom, ahead of the mag well opening.
There will be no option for a custom serial number marking. All RPK74
receivers will be marked with sequential serial numbers. There will be no
option for custom selector markings.
The price per RPK74 receiver will be $150.00, which includes the cost of
ground shipping to the dealer (USPS Priority Mail to AK and HI). Discounts
may be available for a purchase of 20 or more receivers. Exact discount
pricing will be determined later.
We are not asking for payments to be sent to us now. We are asking that you
email us with your intention to buy and your readiness to send in payment.
The reason for this message is not to build a list of possible interested
persons in the RPK74 receiver. We only want you to send us an email if you
are a committed buyer and are ready to send in payment. Your email message
should include how many RPK74 receivers you intend to buy.
We will compile the committed buyer list until about the middle of May. At
that point in time, we will decide if there are enough committed buyers to
do a production run of the RPK74 receivers. If we decide to do the
production run, we will send an invoice to all on the committed buyer list.
Those who get the invoice will have two weeks from the date on the invoice
to send in payment. Based on the number of payments we get for the RPK74
receivers, we will make the appropriate quantity of receivers. We expect
receivers will be ready to ship about August 1st.
We will take a money order, cashiers check, or dealers business check for
payment. There must be no expiration date on the type of money order or
cashiers check sent for payment.
If the number of payments we receive by about the end of May is not enough
for a minimum production run, we will return all payments to those who sent
them in. We are looking at a quantity of 100 receivers to be the minimum
production run.
Send your email of intention and readiness to buy to email@example.com or
call us at 952-942-1909. In your email include your full name and the
quantity you are ready to buy.

These are my 8 leather ammo pouches and found the best way
to make them. Materials i used: tin,tape,Goop,
1/4" plastic foam,scisors,scrap leather pieces,velcro,x-acto
1st Cut out templates out of tin, i have tin snips but this
tin was very thin i could use scisors. These tin templates
are placed on the 1/4" foam and you cut around template with
x-acto knife. Here are the template sizes
1. 3 1/4" x 1 1/2" back
2. 2 5/8" x 1 1/2" front
3. 3 1/4" x 1 5/16" sides (has one top corner cut off)
4. 1 1/2" x 13/16" bottom
The next step is to assemble the foam into little boxes with tape so that they stay together while glueing them with goop.
Once the foam boxes are dry it is time to make the tin templates for cutting the leather pieces. Template above #3
is used for the leather and here are the next template dimensions.
5. 4" x 2 "
6. 7 1/8" x 2" (has two corners cut off)
The next step is to place tin templates #3,#5,#6 on top of your thin leather and cut with sharp x-acto knife. Once leather shapes are cut glue(goop) them onto foam boxes.
I have pics of templates and finished pouches. If someone can post them for me i will email them the pics.
one last thing i have not put on any stitching on the pouches yet!
Hope this helps!! Sorry for the bad pics

Hey guys,
A while ago I saw a guy that made a jr Boba helmet for his son. What I was wondering is if that person is still around and willing to help a brother out or is there some one else that is willing to take up this task?I have built my 8 year old armor but his DP is just WAY too big for him. I know that I can't even attempt this. It takes some one who is an artist and that's not me. So any way it would be cool if some one could help me out.

Theo Walcott believes Arsenal boast the strongest attack in the Premier League.
Arsène Wenger's side were back among the goals on Saturday when they swept aside West Ham United at Upton Park. Robin van Persie rifled the visitors ahead and Walcott fired home a second before winning a second-half penalty that Van Persie converted with aplomb.
The top flight's bottom club had no answer to Arsenal's firepower and Walcott insists that no team can match the Gunners when it comes to attacking options.
"The likes of Tottenham have got a very good forward line as well. But, playing for this team, I believe we've got the strongest," he said.
"We've got different options as well. Everyone is different and that's the great thing with this Arsenal team.
"Robin van Persie is so important to us. It's great to have his presence up front. I love playing with him. It's a great asset for us, he's scoring goals, back fully fit and is on a nice run because he's fully fit again.
"We have so much strength on the bench as well. We had Arshavin, Bendtner and Chamakh [at West Ham] and we've got a great squad. We've got to stay fit because it's going to be busy, busy until the end of the season.
"But if it's not going well for you then there's someone on the bench who can come in. That's the whole point of using the squad."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Good for Mao.
Maybe the protocol will be out after the last skater
So happy for Mao!
YAY for MAO!!
Can't wait to see her Swan Lake!!
What a first performance of the year
beautiuful yellow dress
3f3t2t? not very sure
she looks on fire
step sequence
a bit strange moments afterwards
That was wonderful!!
big standing ovations.
Ashley's wearing a team towel in K&C like a beauty contestant.
It never occured to me but this time I was too confused by CW jumps to call. Ha.
1st!!! yay for Ashley!!! That's my girl!!!
Final Team Standings
Japan 569.25
North America 511.80
Europe 510.82
Made my day (or night)!
I have been hoping for this so much...I'm so thrilled for her!
Wow Ashley outscored Mao and pushed NA to second place
Congrats to Ashley!
winning team interview
(about the winning) it feels great we won by this big margin
(for his performance )this is better than the last season
I feel sorry that i was not good at all today but I will try for the rest of the season
nervous for the first competition of the season but we won and i'm happy
Awesome! Can't wait to see Mao and Ashley!!
Congrats to Ashley.
Team Japan did great this year!! WOW
Thanks again, Midori.
Congratulations to Team Japan! Thanks again for the pbp. Goodnight all.
Elene had taping on one shoulder, struggled a bit throughout the performance but it was a fine one.
Loved Akiko's fluid and smooth skating. She was flying on the ice like a feather! The program was so light and attractive. She had a solid performance to the middle and it was a shame that she imploded after that. I like her program best in this comp.
Now what the hell with Colorado skaters? She also lost her speed in the second half.
Leonova did well and her jumps were huge when succeed but I still cannot stand the noise from her blade...
Mao! Extraordinary skate from her. So glad to see her doing so well in Japan. kudos to 3S I want her show a bit more power in her skating though. it was do fluid and light but lacks something which can be found in Akiko's one. The program itself needs more mileage imo. (less connection between moves IMO) Hope the program grows throughout the season.
Wagner did great as well but was a bit unpolished compared to Mao. Upper body especially.
Not a bad comp overall.
Congrats to Team Japan
Happy for Mao & Ashley.
BTW, while 30 years old Arakawa succeeded 2A-3T, none of six young skaters succeeded 2A-3T.
Kudos to Arakawa!
Thanks for the info. I love Mao, but agree that (aside from the mistakes she's made in recent years) she skates too cautiously. I wish she could skate more consistently like her Olympic SP or the 2008 Worlds SP:
I'm looking forward to seeing the program, but hope she eventually uses a choreographer other than Tarasova or Nichol.
I'm very happy to hear that Mao and Ashley did well
Jumps aside, Patrick's program was really great. Very looking forward to the time when he put it together.
A bit disappointed for Michal as it it not a new program I wanted to see a better delivery.
Thanks Midori and Vigiliae for the updates. Congrats to Team Japan. I kind of expected them to win. Sounds like the ladies are doing very well. Ouch, hope Patrick's falls is due to early season and lack of practice.
Dai looks positively Weir'd in that costume.
midori and vigiliae, thanks for the pbp and report. Feeling sorry for Patrick but glad to hear he was great in the warm up, and I'm really glad that Kozuka is doing so well in this competition, hope he'll regain his lost ground this year.
Ashleys new dress:
and Mao
And allow me to add Yay for Jeff!!! That's my boy!!
What a weekend for him and I really hope we can all see it at some point.
Big Ouch for Patrick. Here's hoping it's just really early and that's all it is.
I haven't clicked on that link to Takashi's costume yet, as I have yet to go to bed and I'd like to not give myself nightmares. All I had to do was see the word "Morosovized" and...Nope!!
Sigh...Nice to have the Season underway, isn't it?
It's more ugly Morozov than tacky/vulgar Morozov, if that helps. Looks like they recycled part of Rippon's old costume and sewed it together with one of Johnny's.
Ashley's dress is awful.
Oh yes , especially since baseball season just ended for me.
Wow, great for Ashley as she is now making a habit of beating Mao Asada (4CC, Worlds, Japan Open). That can only do wonders for her PCS as the season goes on.
I agree about the unfavorable review of Wagner's dress though. The bright tennis ball yellow with the bright, blonde hair translates into too much perk for me.

Its never worth it out there1hour boat ride to find some one is in your blind or some one shows up at 730 and gets stuck on a sand bar 100 yards from your decoys and ruins your hunt. best bet is to walk in some where that a mud motor cant get to... and if you do happen to shoot birds better be there at 2 the next morning. People just dont have respect any more every one and there brother has a prodrive or gator tail and is gunhoe about running it.

I believe the only way to get away from the idiots and ridiculous pressure is to go where no one else wants to go. In my opinion, if i were to try and hunt the atchafalaya delta area, i would launch out of berwick and go down river to that delta. The wax lake area is just to easy to get to and every yahoo will go down there to hunt.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
It used to be that reproducibility was the holy grail of build process and capabilities. While that is still the central requirement, good build management processes and tools can take you a lot further, a lot faster, and with better quality. The steps are the same: identify a build, select the updates (i.e., change packages) that are going into the build, create the build definition in the CM repository, and then click a magic button that causes the build to be built. Done.
It doesn't really stop there. That build, or a subsequent one, has to make it out to production. That means there's going to be test cases run against it. Tech writers need to know what exactly is in the build so that they can document it. Product managers likewise need to know that the build has all of the required features and fixes, and that it of sufficient quality. Developers just want to test their own changes against the new build (which they probably created by themselves for themselves), so that they can correct them and repeat the process.
If you think deeply about a build, it's not just a set of executables/deliverables. There's an entire history of how it got there and a whole story about what's in the build.
What Does "Build" Mean?
The term "build" can take on more than one meaning, all around the same concept. Prior to a build taking place, there's the concept of build that means build notice. Typically a build notice has a specific time in mind (possibly automated each day, hour, week, etc.) but may have either a rule-based (in the case of automation) or a manually specified content description, that is, what is going into the build. The build Notice, prior to the build is often referred to as the "build". In any next generation ALM tool, the current content definition should be a click or two away.
When a build has been completed, the record of what went into the build, the build record is also referred to as the build. Because the context makes it clear that we're talking about a build in the past, the sense of the word deals with ensuring we have a record of what actually happened. In a next generation ALM tool, the build record itself may change over time. This is, perhaps, a scary thought if you've not been exposed to this, so we'll mention it in more detail below.
The build operation, that is, the compiling, linking, packaging, etc., is yet another meaning often inferred by the word build. Often you'll hear, "That broke the build," meaning that the build operation was broken so that it couldn't be completed.
The fourth use of the word build is to refer to the artifacts produced by the build. These are the executables, help files, or more generally, deliverables, in whatever form the build leaves them. It's common to hear: "What build were you using?" To summarize, we have at least 4 common meanings for the term build:
1. Build notice: a build in the future
2. Build record: the record of what went into the build
3. Build operation: the procedure used to generate the build artifacts
4. Build artifacts: the deliverables produced by the build operation.
