Assuming that Abe is in fact choking the giraffe rather than just pulling it out of the hat, it is interesting to note that this act of violence is being committed with the right hand as opposed to the left hand (the latin word for left is "sinestra", from which we also derive such words as "sinister"). Even as the "good" hand acts horridly, the left hand holds the wand. If we hearken back to our childhood days, we remember that magic is AWESOME. Clearly this reversal of roles suggests that we are all capable of good and evil, and that we should not assume the character of anyone based on our own prejudices and stereotypes.
Ha ha, I'd buy it if it said that on the back.

I really love Abraham Lincoln. He is my favorite historical figure of all time, but this shirt seems either dull and nonsensical from a literal standpoint or horribly offensive and punch-in-the-face worthy from a metaphorical standpoint.
Wow, this is racist.
Going to bed.
i think its racist to assume the giraffe is african. the only giraffe i ever knew was from the poconos.

It is a nod to the old time circus banners with lofty names. Say it to yourself in a scary, magical voice: The Greeeeat Emaaaaancipaaatorrr!
See? No racism. Gee whiz, y'all.
And yeah, his hat was tall. Why waste all that space on a tiny rabbit? Go big or go home!
This proud Illinoisan will take one please!
All right! Face value! Since when were these about symbolism? I buy 'em because they are sometimes funny and/or look nifty. Funnifty, if you will (I am not proud of that).
Here is some more symbolism though. Not only does The Great Emancipator sound like a stage magician's name, but magicians wear hats, and Abraham Lincoln, too, wore a hat. Definitely some symbolism going on there, what with the hat being a symbol for hats.
Congrats MJ! In for one for sure. Also, lol wooters.
I only wish people thought as hard about which shirts to vote for in the derby as they do about how to make an innocuous shirt racist.
I kind of like the randomness of the design, myself.
Ok, So I have analyzed all the comments, done some independent research, and I think I have managed to determine what this shirt is about.
Beard + Hat + Tall - Alive - Moustache = Abraham Lincoln
Animal + Hat + Wand = Magician
as a lemma:
Lady/Saw + Wand = Magician
Lady/Saw + Wand = Animal + Hat + Wand
therefore, Animal + Hat = Lady/Saw
sin(Great Emancipator) = Magician_(type announcement)
so, using simple mathematical induction, this shirt is about how there is a dude that looks like ol' Abe that is pulling a thing out of a hat, and also he is called the Great Emancipator. Hehe, its funny, because he emancipated things, but that also sounds like a magician name. Get it?
Who comes up with these terrible shirts anyway? only an emo 12 year old would buy this apcray.... so basically it'll sell great. LOL!

Really? I'm not 12, not emo, and I would buy this. Why? Because it's ridiculously unexpected.
Um, FOURscore...

There ya go. They can get themselves out.
Only a 12 year old emo kid would buy it? But... it's Abe Lincoln. Emo kids wouldn't touch this shirt.. sorry just had to say it.

Some people are stuck in their youth... I'm betting that secretly, the person pines for the days they locked themselves in their room. I bet they'd listen to their moody music with a candle or two burning and wrote in their diary that they wish everyone in the world would just disappear or that they could die to teach them all a lesson.
HA! I see what you did there. See, you said it would sell great (you meant "well" or "very well", since "great" is an adjective, of course) that was subtly implying that all of your fellow wooters were 12 year old emo kids!
Whoo, man, thats a hoot. Good one. Bet anybody who bought it feels stupid now that they read your comment. You pegged em spot on man. Abe is the ultimate emo, what with his bangs combed over his face, and this shirt is very depressing and everything -- not at all whimsical.
xxchange wrote:Interesting! Would have never thought of that. Though, in reality, he really wasn't very tall. Only about six foot two.
Putting it in historical perspective, six foot two (actually six foot four) was extremely tall at that time.
Next you're gonna tell me Napoleon was incredibly short...at least that's what the victors would have you believe
great shirt, MJ!
this immediately made me think of Bullwinkle. How he kept trying to pull a rabbit out of that hat, and there was always something bizarre, unexpected, and random that came out instead.
very good...

Fancy top hat = Wealthy people = plantations owners = South
Sorry, but you need to spend a little more time on this part. Or maybe it's just bad symbolism. Slavery was not a Southern thing, There were slave owners all over America, and they weren't all wealthy nor were they all plantation owners.
Woooooo! MJ rules!
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyouwm ------------------->
Uh, remember that Abe himself had quite a long neck!

Are you for real?
I have to tend to agree with some people who think this shirt is a bit offensive. I'm afraid you might get your ass beat for wearing this shirt at the wrong place and time.
Yea, MJ!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!
xxchange wrote:Clearly we have a northerner designer here. See, the point of the shirt is that Abe is MAGIC. He's taking the giraffe out of the hat! I mean, you'd have to be magic to get that animal in in the first place. And you know no one but the northerners are going to think highly of Abe. The southerners are still fighting the Civil War, and the rest of the world is using Abe to make fun of the US for not banning slavery until the 1800s.

So...You are writing from the 1930s?
You sure as hell don't live in the south.
I mean its no Virgin Mary painted with elephant dung, but its definitly stirred up some controversy among the Woot discussion community. Personally, I think the illustartion looks like something that I would view in The New Yorker. Being that I live in the South (despite the actual meaning of this shirt - if any), I do not have the cohonnes to wear it and field an onslaught of harmful leers and accusatory questioning.
EdwardBlake wrote:Took me a while to get this shirt. Quite clever use of symbolism. For those who don't get it...
Stay with me.
Abe is freeing the giraffe from the hat.
Abe = Abe
Griffine = Africa = Africans = Slaves
Fancy top hat = Wealthy people = plantations owners = South
Got it, people? Good.
Man!You are Soooooo HIGH!!!
This thread is hard to read, so many of the posts with the most outrageous theories are not for real, and so many others seem to be taking them as though they are. I really cannot imagine it ever occurring to anyone when I walked by them that this shirt was offensive.
It's an unusually tall dude w/ an unusually tall hat, using an unusually tall animal for a trick. That's it. An unusually funny shirt.
MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!! *glomp*

I love the randomness too. And I love Abe. And I'm thinking really hard about buying it.

Ah for the love of twinkies...
Look at the picture:
He wore a tall hat. Giraffes are tall animals. That's the symbolism. The end.
The only way to settle what this shirt is about is to rassel fer it.
Ditto. Abe was tall. His hat was tall. Ergo, a tall animal comes out of the hat, i.e. a giraffe. Don't overthink it people.
oh, wow! did this take me a while to 'get'
for all those who need more coffee like me:
abe wore a stovepipe hat...magicians wear hats
magicians have rabbits in their hats...abe had a really big hat so let's say a giraffe could fit in it.
magicians have names according to what their best trick is...abe's best thing was emancipation.
clever and i don't think related (much) to africa, but i'm still not buying it. too much explaining.

Yeah, people who care about Abe Lincoln go around beating people's asses.
So what you're saying is that Abe couldn't have anticipated the repercussion of his actions as the Great Emancipator? And where does the Bullmoose party fit in?
xxchange wrote:That's you. If you have a cheat or something to get these shirts cheaper, YOU MUST TELL ME.
They were $5 every single day and now $10. You're telling me you've been paying $10 all along? I'm getting more confused.

Spanish Formula Championship 2012
NorthSails Spanish Formula Team Rider Fernanda Martínez del Cerro Delgado (ESP-71), managed to win the Bay of Cadiz event just in front of his team colleague Alejandor Alcazar (ESP-0).
Check out the detailed results here.
Full report by Fernando Martínez:
6th t0 8th of September, Bay of Cadiz, launching from the Andalucian Federation´s new training center at Puerto Sherry.
First day the wind was blowing from the east; locally call "levante", with constant 25-30 knots and gust of 30+.
Many racers decided to stay in land, like top Sailor Miguel Martinho, said it was way too strong. But still half of the fleet went out.
I was on North Warp 10,0 2012, while my test partner Alejandro Alcazar, decided to go with North Warp 9,3.
From the Start I felt super fast, reaching the upwind mark far from the second, Marcos Iglesias on Gaastra Vapor 10,0 2012.
In the downwind it was not that easy, but I manage to win the race. Victor Depoorter was 2nd and Marcos was 3rd. Alejandro was not so happy on the slalom sail but he managed to finish 4th place.
Second Day the wind was much lighter - I was still able to finish 2nd.
The third day, the wind was light again.
The last day the forecast was lighter, but luckily forecast are not always right.
We started with a good 9 to 11 knots race.
I got in front of him and finished in front.
Martinho was 2nd and Alejandro Alcazar was clearly 3rd.
At the end I was first with four 1st places and two 2nd, POR-5 was second, and Alejandro Alcazar was 3rd at the race and 2nd at the Spanish Podium.
Very good competition with in total 3 days racing out of 4.
One in over 30 knots, one in 5 to10 knots and he last one in 9 to 15 knots."

Getting 35 points in bench production, the Canisius women's basketball team defeated Manhattan College 63-47 at the Koessler Athletic Center on Friday night. The Golden Griffins improve to 10-16 overall and 7-8 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Junior Jen Lennox led Canisius with 15 points and five rebounds to go along with two blocks while senior Ashley Wilkes had 14 points, six rebounds and three blocks in 20 minutes apiece. Sophomore Kayla Hoohuli scored 11 points, including three 3-pointers, while senior Ashley Durham had seven points, eight rebounds and five assists. Sophomore Brooke Angelos recorded five assists and zero turnovers in 12 minutes.
"I have always felt one of the strengths of this team is its depth, and I thought we were able to display that tonight," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "We played some really good defense tonight, especially in the first half, that we built off to get a good team win."
Canisius limited Manhattan to 18 percent from the field in the first half, building a 28-16 halftime advantage. After Toni-Ann Lawrence gave the Jaspers a 10-9 lead with 8:30 left in the first half, the Griffs allowed Manhattan to one field goal the rest of the half as Canisius went on a 19-6 run. Hoohuli and Durham drained 3-pointers to start a 10-2 spurt. Later in the half, Wilkes had a three-point play and freshman Tiahana Mills made a 3-pointer to help the Griffs build the 12-point halftime lead, their largest halftime lead of the season.
The Jaspers scored the first seven points of the second half to get within five, but Manhattan would never get closer than five points throughout the entire second half. Leading 35-30 with 14:05 left, Canisius took control by scoring six straight points, capped by a 3-pointer from junior Jen Morabito. Manhattan would get within seven points with five minutes left, but Canisius closed the game with a 15-6 stretch.
Monica Roeder led Manhattan (6-20, 3-12 MAAC) with 16 points while Lawrence had 13 points, and Allison Skrec had 10 points and six assists. All five Manhattan starters played 30 or more minutes with the Griffs holding a 35-1 lead in bench points.
Canisius closes out its 2012-13 home schedule against Fairfield University on Sunday. Tipoff is set for 2:10 p.m. with Senior Day ceremonies set to begin at 1:55 p.m.
Notes: The Griffs snapped a six-game losing streak to the Jaspers... Canisius defeated Manhattan for the ninth time in the last 11 years in the Koessler Athletic Center... Canisius had 17 assists on 22 baskets, recording an assist on more than 75 percent of its baskets for the ninth time this season... The 35 bench points were the most since the Griffs had 42 bench points in the season-opening win over Buffalo... Durham didn't score eight or more points for the first time in the last 16 games... Wilkes scored in double figures for the ninth time this season... The 15 points for Lennox were a season high and one off her career high of 16 points against Rider on Feb. 20, 2011... Lennox also moved into fourth place on the career blocks list and now has 75 blocks in her career.

I have two daughters, 14 and 10 years old. For the past few years I have wondered if either of them has any interest in the software world. I remember as a kid I made a bold statement to my dad (who was in the IT field also) that I wanted nothing to do with the software business. Look at me now. Besides, both my wife and I have computer-related degrees, so there must be some genes in those two girls that would make them a natural, right?
I found early on in college that the logic of a software program made perfect sense to me. There was one and only one right answer (unlike the English classes I had to take) and the software did exactly what you told it to do. It resonated with me. However, in today's "short attention span" digital world that my kids are growing up in, the concept of learning to program using today's development environments and books doesn't look appealing even to me. In my early days of exploring what code can do, the challenge of learning the syntax and achieving successful compilations was the major challenge. Learning a programming language from a book was not the best way to learn and it took lots of trial and error. The compiler got a workout.
So I started looking around (i.e. Google) for some creative solutions. I landed on the Alice project which was even more intriguing after learning Randy Pausch was one of the creators (if you haven't watched his last lecture, it is well worth it). Alice provides a 3D programming environment that allows you to create and manipulate a 3D scenario using programming techniques. You create objects and make them move and control the scene all via programming techniques. It takes advantage of today's video craze; they can create their own movie! Being an Eclipse person today, I eagerly awaited an Eclipse version of Alice. As Alice is driven by the university community, the release cycle was very long and frankly I grew impatient. I have yet to install it and even try it. I wish the project well, but haven't had the energy to try it out.
Within the last year or two, I became aware of the Khan Academy. I found myself watching some of the Calculus lessons and getting my college Calc book out (geek). I just discovered that they now have a computer science category. Very cool. I checked it out. I was really expecting to see some whiteboard-type lectures on programming fundamentals; for loops, variables, functions, etc. Well to my surprise they took a very different approach. They use an online environment to learn to program. The code is right there in a text box. You can change it and run it and immediately see your results. A video gives you the basics and you can then play to your heart's content. I spent about a half an hour playing with their Pascal's Triangle program. Very very cool. I was impressed. Khan Academy gives credit for inspiring this type of learning to Bret Victor. He has thought a lot about how to learn programming and it makes a ton of sense. You can read all about his ideas here. Again, well worth the read.
As an IBMer, this obviously brings me to the type of development environments we provide. I am an avid Rational Application Developer and Rational Software Architect user. These products really represent the other end of the spectrum when it comes to development environments, and rightly so. Enterprise level software development environments are not catering to those learning the program language. Go out and learn java first before you build your first EJB-based web service. However, I do believe there are some lessons that can be learned from these new learning techniques. One area that resonates with me is UML modeling. For my first two years at Rational Software, I taught an Object-oriented Analysis & Design class once a month. This was back in the good old days where OOA&D and modeling were relatively new to the masses. Most organizations had "the guy" that was dabbling in this space and convinced someone to bring Rational in to teach a larger group. Rational Software Architect is a great UML modeling tool and I have had much success with it. But I believe that to this day, in order to learn to be a successful architect using UML, you are stuck with grabbing a fully featured modeling tool and a book and slugging through it. There is no way that I know of (please let me know) to grasp the concepts of UML in a way like Bret Victor's vision for learning to program. I am not sure what that looks like in my head, but someone way smarter than me I am sure can think of something.
I am going to show the Kahn Academy computer science lessons to my 10 year-old first. She is the creative one. Hopefully I can trigger her interest in programming that I know is in her DNA, unless it has skipped a generation.

First welcome to the forum - it's the best and I think you'll like it here.
I am not unbiased in that I own a XDm in 9mm
I own 2 other 9mm's and tthe XDm shoots best by far. My others are compacts that I've carried for concealed carry and a backup gun as a LEO.
I have no experience with a CZ and in fact have heard that they are fine guns.
I have a tendencsy to buy different brands all the time, but I always borrow or rent the gun at a range and shoot it - really shoot it before I buy.
Some guns look good, but shoot bad - all guns shoot a little differently and come to point of aim a little differently for each person.
So I say go try them both and buy the one that "fits you best.

With its dramatic latticed exterior and 10 floors, it may look like something out of a science fiction novel but the new Library of Birmingham is very much of our time.
The futuristic building designed by architect Francine Hoube will be opening its doors to the public next week, becoming the biggest library in Europe.
The new building will be replacing the Birmingham Central Library and has taken three years to construct, costing around £189 million.
It will house one of the world's largest collections of the works of Shakespeare. There is also an amphitheatre, the garden terrace and the city's only tourist information centre.
The interlacing rings on the exterior of the library reflects the canals and tunnels of Birmingham. The Library of Birmingham is in Centernary Square and its modern look contrasts with the classically designed Baskeville House which neighbours it.
The building has been specially designed to reduce the impact on the environment and cut carbon emissions in the city.
The Library of Birmingham will be opening on 3 September

text: Wheaton College welcomes students who wish to transfer from another college. Most credits earned at another accredited college will transfer to Wheaton if the courses are applicable to a liberal arts program. Courses of a vocational or technical nature or courses in which a D grade was earned are not transferable. Courses taken at an unaccredited college may receive some credit with the approval of the Registrar. The College reserves the right to decide the acceptability and applicability of degrees and credits earned at other institutions. Grades for credits accepted for transfer courses are not included when determining a student's cumulative grade point average at Wheaton. Students who transfer from a community college can transfer a maximum of 62 semester hours of credit. Courses taken at two-year colleges may not be used to satisfy Wheaton's upper division course requirement. A maximum of 30 semester hours of credit earned by correspondence or extension may be applied toward a degree. Such work should be taken only from well-recognized correspondence programs through accredited institutions. Students interested in taking correspondence courses should receive approval from the Registrar's Office before registering for the courses. Accepting courses for transfer and applying them toward degree requirements are separate considerations. Courses may transfer as elective credits but not be applicable to specific requirements. Transfer students are expected to meet all graduation requirements and general education requirements as listed in the appropriate sections of the catalog. Students may be requested to supply specific course information for a department in order to receive transfer credit. In some cases, students may be requested to take additional courses if the department determines that the necessary areas of study were not included. Christ at the Core, Wheaton College's general education curriculum, is designed to give students flexibility to study their interests while preparing for a vocation in the 21st century. More information about the curriculum, including Core Competencies, Shared Core requirements, and Thematic Core requirements, is available here. Transfer credit is available for Core Competency requirements based on registrar assessment. Wheaton College's Core Competencies include demonstrating foreign language competency. If some foreign language has been taken at another college, students may continue that language at a level recommended by the department. Passing the final exam in an intermediate foreign language course at Wheaton will meet the competency requirement. Students who have completed one semester of intermediate language at another college must verify competency by taking Wheaton's competency exam. Transfer students who, before enrolling at Wheaton, completed at least one year at the intermediate level will be considered to have met the competency requirement. Once initial enrollment at Wheaton occurs, the competency exam must be passed even if the student takes an advanced level language course at another college. After enrolling, transfer students are expected to meet the Shared Core general education requirements at Wheaton College. Transfer students who have taken in-person courses at a residential Christian College may meet two of the Bible/Theology (BITH) requirements with transfer credit. Transfer credits can also be used to satisfy Thematic Core requirements. Out of the Thematic Core general education requirements or thematic "tags", each transfer course may receive maximum of one tag. Some courses at Wheaton will have more than one tag. No more than four themes may be met with transfer credit for first-year and sophomore transfer students. Junior transfer students may meet up to six themes. Up to three themes may be applied to meet both Thematic Core requirements and major requirements. Transfer students seeking Illinois teacher certification are expected to take all required 300- and 400-level education courses at Wheaton. Exceptions may be granted with departmental approval. Courses that have been taken more than eight years prior to transferring to Wheaton are subject to department approval for transfer if they are to be used to meet any general education, major, minor, or teacher education requirements. *A complete description of the General Education Requirements is found in the Wheaton College Catalog.

Houston TV newscasts full of lovely ladies
She sat down and watched the morning newscasts across the channel spectrum with an eye for Valentine's Day fashions.
Barr reports most of our gorgeous ladies of television were wearing red to "surprising" subdued pink. KPRC 2 traffic guru Jennifer Reyna even threw in some red jewelry.
Fashionistas like Fox 26 KRIV anchor Melissa Wilson, KTRK abc13 morning meteorologist Casey Curry and KPRC 2 anchor Lauren Freeman wore "really pretty dresses and tops." Some accented by smart frocks with flowers.
Reporter Courtney Gilmore heated up her live report with a pink scarf.
Over on Allen Parkway, KHOU 11 anchor Lily Jang donned "a very cool lipstick red sleeveless" dress while traffic master Katherine Whaley showed off her "svelte purple sheath."
Oh, but there were more "sexy sleeveless frocks on this chilly morning in the KHOU bouquet." Meteorologist Chita Johnson stood out on the green screen in azalea pink and reporter Mia Gradney was in Chinese red.
Being totally clueless when it comes to women's fashions, I am not even totally sure what she is talking about here and I hope I posted it all correctly.
Either way, I'm sure all of our women of Houston TV looked beautiful or will certainly look stunning in the later newscasts...here's looking at you Melanie Lawson.
Find out more about Barr and ShirleyBarr Public Relations at shirleybarrpr.com.
Also, over at my Facebook page, I'm asking which Houston media type (TV, radio, newspaper) would you most like to send a Valentine's Day card to. You can leave that answer in the comments below too.

I know Shirley, surprised she used this platform to talk about something so useless and frankly, demeaning to female journalists. We all like to look nice, but must that be the only guide to female journalists? geez.ReplyDelete

I agree. Stop putting emphasis on looks and hire real journalists. The TV stereotype has become bleach blond, beauty queen types get the jobs. The mens stereotype is empty suits former jobks. Lets get back to journalism 101.ReplyDelete
Here I spend a lot of my free time updating this blog about local media because none of the Houston mainstream media seems to care to report on TV and radio for the most part. That's why I do it and I do it basically for free.ReplyDelete
I feature posts on female journalists getting jobs, getting awards, getting honored, writing books, developing new TV shows...etc. Then I try something Shirley came up with that simply talks about what anchors wore for Valentine's Day and I get this. I see this as no different than what magazines do to Hollywood actresses. The network morning shows do it too.
"Anonymous," I have little respect for your journalistic integrity based on your anonymous character assassination. You must be the same person who tears others down in the newsroom behind their backs and then smiles to their face. It's the reason the industry can be so toxic.

Re: 1971 - Fuzzy Warbles
it' quite refreshing seeing a referential design based off of a quote and drawn in your own style rather than just aping someone else's work. I also very much like the placement. Diagonal designs are rare and can be tough to execute, but you've done it well.

Re: 1974: Lucy Discovered
Hello fellow 1974-ite.
I don't like the Peanuts cartoon, but this a clever idea. Seems too big on the shirt, maybe shrink up the image size some.
Voted anyhow good luck.
this is what happened at the after party after David Bowies 50th birthday bash
After having to remove Nathan Pyle's "Dark Knight" I can understand why woot would be a little gun-shy about printing another Batman design, especially so soon after the incident. DC lawyers are probably watching this website like a hawk.
That being said, this definitely would benefit from glow-in-the-dark ink.

phox325 wrote:There are rules for how art is supposed to work?!
:-) That's something my art teacher used to say to me (and she's been publishing stuff for years now!)
ASCII art (at least the kind I used to mess around with) was of two flavors:
1) Pure text (typically black & white), where the characters varied to make the picture.
2) Color HTML, where you varied the color of the characters to make the picture, often times spelling out specific words or sentences in the text, itself.
I chose the latter route in this derby...

Re: 1982 - First International Day of Peace
September 21, 1982 marked the first celebration of the United Nation's International Day of Peace. It is celebrated yearly, and is a day specifically dedicated to the absence of war. At the start of the day, the "Peace Bell" is rung at the UN. The side of the bell is inscribed with the words "Long live absolute world peace." Those celebrating the day often wear badges in the shape of doves.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Ozarkruffrider, Jun 26, 2008.
I think Plaisted has a good chance of making the bench, he's stiff enough.
You guys are mean. I am tickled pink to have Plaisted at least on our summer league roster. Being a BYU student and Cougar fan, I can say that the trainer's take was dead on. Plaisted's game was all about pound it, right shoulder, flippy, scoopy. If he has learned to expand his abilities a bit, he might excite us. I think he has physical ability, but in retrospect the BYU staff might not have had the know-how to teach him more. He was very well liked by the fans and is a great character guy. He is married and so he will be well adjusted and I think he will fit in with the more mature Pistons' locker room. With that said, everyone was surprised to see him hire an agent, I think a lot of us thought that he was just testing the waters and would be back for his senior year. It will be interesting to see how he does.
That's why sending him in some Euroleague team is a good idea: he can develope skillful plays there better than in NBDL, as FBA rules require more "tricky" style from bigs. I've seem plenty of Alex Acker in Euroeague and he has been developing very nicely there. Of course, it does not mean that send all projects in Europe: for some it works, for some it doesn't.
Thanks for the inside info on Plaisted CJ. Much appreciated!
Guess Barcelona didn't think so according to the other Thread on him.
Based on the other Acker thread that has been started; wonder what games you were watching and what Barcelona is doing?
Plaisted is off to Italy to work on his game: Daily Herald - Plaisted getting set for pro hoops in Italy
Honestly if I was a second roundish basketball player right out of college I think I'd rather play in Europe than ride the pine for a season or two and then just leave. It's a sweet deal.
And living in Italy for a year isn't all bad either. I loved Italy when I was there on the student exchange program through U of D.
Gee, I hope the terrorists don't get him...:nerd2:
Trent Plaisted Basketball Player Profile, stats, biography, career - EUROBASKET Stats link for Plaisted. He's scored 10 points over there this year. Only played 2 games, so not sure if he's injured or what.
DETNEWS | Weblog | Pistons Blog
Bad start. This one's a write-off.
So Plaisted was a waisted pick. With Cheikh Samb gone, we had room on the roster to get a taisted of his abilities, but we sent him to the Euro league in haisted.
lol .
Well Joe did pick Plaisted and Deron, because they agree to go play overseas. I hate how he didn't take a chance with CDR or Jordan, but w/e.
Separate names with a comma.

Generating Noise in Mathematica
Has anyone ever generated white, pink, and black noise using
Mathematica? White noise can be generated from a Guassian
Distribution, but do other ways exist. Also, does anyone know how
to generate pink or black noise. Random number generators are also
of particular interest (I am quite familiar with the power of
Random[], but want to write my own RNG).
Also, has anyone done any examples of stochastic processes using
Mathematica. I am especially interested in applied examples
in math and electrical engineering (other scieces also okay).
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I just bought a 75b and would like to have some trigger work done.Who does good work on the CZ?
Printable View
I just bought a 75b and would like to have some trigger work done.Who does good work on the CZ?
Here's one of the best in this country. Good luck it's not cheap.:smt1099
My understanding is that the custom shop at CZ USA does very fine trigger work. www.cz-usa.com
ok thanks I'll check them out
I took my gun to the gunsmith last month for a trigger job, as I'd also purchased an 18lb Wolff recoil spring, and a Wolff extra power extractor spring.
However, I was just recently told that those springs won't work right. Apparently the Wolff springs that are for the CZ-75 (and most other versions of the 75) don't work for the SP-01. So I guess I got the wrong springs? Even though a Wolff rep said that they would still be okay as the SP-01 is in the 75 family.
I can't remember which thread it was on here, but others were getting trigger jobs and put in new recoil springs. What brand would work for this?
May I suggest you visit www.czforumsite.info as they have a tech section where this topic has been discussed.
I understand Angus Hobel (check spelling) and Matt Mink do excellent work on CZ's. Check them out on CZ forum.
I had my TZ-75 trigger done by a gunsmith named John Clobis. I believe he resides now in Minnisota
or one of the dakotas. He did a great job. cz and tz were kind of his specialty. I understand he is doing
lots of hunting type bolt actions now. Give him a try he did a great job for me. He's a disabled vet
(marine) so there's another reason to send him some work !
( I think the total bill was about 100 $ )
Another widely known "pistolsmithy" to consider is mr. Teddy jacobson in sugarland, texas. Check out his website @ actions by t.
I have not used him yet, I but plan to after the holidays (I want to shoot the gun while I'm off work).
Bill Springfield - Colorado Springs , CO
Very good reputation.
Bill Springfield - www.TriggerWork.net
What does Teddy charge for a complete trigger job?
He has it on his website: (http://actionsbyt.com/)

The world-wide recession has sparked a rise in racism and blame economic problems on the presence of ethnic minorities within a country. The recent election in Bulgaria witnessed a remarkable victory for right wing racist parties that used anti-Turkish rhetoric in seeking electoral victory. Ahmet Dogan, a Bulgarian politician who is of Turkish ethnicity and heads the Movement for Rights and Freedom (HOH) was the target of numerous attacks by the Order Law and Justice Party(RZ5) whose leader Yane Yanev ran on an anti-Turkish platform of blaming problems on that ethnic group. Sofia Mayor Boyko Borisov, was openly racist and termed Turks and Romas as the "bad human capital of Bulgaria."
Among the victims in this victory by right wing racists is any hope of enabling Turkey to become a member of the European Union. Borisov, who is close to the ideas of French President Sarkozy in matters dealing with Turkey, made clear his views by saying, "I am convinced that Turkey will not meet the membership criteria for at least 20-30 more years."
Hatred has won the battle in many parts of Europe during the past few months. The question is whether failure on the part of Obama to offer economic success will result in similar outcomes in America.

This is a tasty bread that doesn't give you the wheat crash most breads do. It is excellent with nut butters, but here is how I eat it: crumble it up in a bowl, add a splash of olive oil, sesame oil, ghee or a combination, add a handful of raw macadamias or almonds, a sprinkle of chia seeds, a pinch of salt, and a nice dusting of cinnamon. Add banana or mixed berries if you want something really decadent (I used to do this but now eat fruit as a separate meal). I reserve one star because I am skeptical of the processing that the bread must undergo to achieve such a long shelf life - it's too good to be true, and thus can't achieve the 5-star rating that fresh bread does.

I like the taste compared to the other types of this bread, it tastes less bitter and more like real bread. However it's extremely fragile and falls apart just getting it out of the packet. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for since it fractures and breaks so easily even when you pick it up in a block.
I did not like this product.
Posted by 4834588585990729936 on Oct 05, 2016 | Verified Purchase
This bread might be "healthy" in some ways but it has a really high sodium content in my opinion and also it tasted terrible. Very dry and minimal flavor.

Postgraduate Coursework Units of Study
ECON6010 - Public Economics
Semester 2, 2013 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Hayley Fisher
Recent innovations in public economics have overturned previously accepted policy rules. This unit focuses on the modern treatment of public policies relating to taxation, pricing of public sector outputs and public investment. Emphasis is placed on how different informational capabilities and jurisdictions of the government impact on the design of policy. The areas of application in taxation include the design of efficient and equitable consumption taxes, the structure of income taxation and the appropriate mix of income and consumption taxes. In response to market failures, pricing and investment rules for public enterprises, the provision and pricing of public goods, and policy responses to externalities and information problems are covered.

text: I carry a Ruger LC9. It's my favorite carry pistol. Small and easily concealed, it's been utterly reliable, not bad recoil for a subcompact, not choosy about ammo, and surprisingly accurate. I wouldn't want to take a bear on with it, when I ride in the woods I carry my Ruger P345 .45 or my old S&W model 29 .44 neither of which are all that great for concealed carry. Take a look at the LC9, it carrys easily in a small IWB or pocket holster and will dispatch a wild dog or pretty well discourage most other two and four legged aggressors.

The embarrassing tweet. The drunken party photos. The DUI arrest. The messy divorce or business scandal.
When it comes to the Internet, there are no secrets. If people are searching for you, what they find isn't necessarily what you want them to see.
''Google is increasingly becoming your first impression ... but it's getting increasingly harder to take control of that impression," said Patrick Ambron, co-founder of BrandYourself.com, part of the growing "online reputation management" industry.
Whether it's a new college graduate looking for a first job, a single jumping into the online dating world or a business owner stung by negative publicity, almost everyone has some online history they'd like to bury.
And that's the problem. On the Web, it's virtually impossible to erase anything entirely.
That has helped spur growth in the "reputation management" industry.
According to media consultant BIA/Kelsey, small- and medium-sized businesses spent about $1.6 billion in 2012 managing their online reputations in various ways. That figure is expected to reach more than $2.9 billion in 2017.
Companies like Brand-Yourself, ReputationChanger.com, Reputation.com and others help individuals, companies, celebrities, even foreign governments, put their best foot forward online.
The key: Pushing the "good stuff" about you to the top of a Google search, while suppressing the negative.
''Almost 94 percent of Google searches don't go beyond the first page. You can push things down to the third or fourth page ... that's the closest you can come to erasing things from the Internet," said Michael Zammuto, president of ReputationChanger.com, a Philadelphia-based firm whose clients include Hollywood celebrities, Fortune 500 companies and foreign governments.
''It can be very difficult to get things taken down. So instead, you have to focus on telling your story better."
Here's how:
Populate yourself
It's like a positive PR campaign where you want to get yourself on as many online platforms and links as you can: A personal website, LinkedIn and other social media profiles, a YouTube video with your name in the headline. Post some articles, a lecture, a link to something about or by you in writing.
''The intent is to make those things in the eyes of the search engine more authoritative. Then Google will naturally rank those things higher," Zammuto said.
Don't engage
For businesses, Zammuto said it's natural to want to wage war against negative posts, especially those on customer review sites like Yelp.com. Restaurants and service-oriented businesses are especially vulnerable to nasty comments by anonymous bloggers.
Hard as it sounds, ignore them, said Zammuto.
''Stop going on there and defending it. If you get into a debate with an anonymous person with a chip on their shoulder, it's not worth it. It will make (the debate) rank higher in searches for your company's name."
Yelp.com, which held its first-ever "town hall" meeting with small-business owners in Sacramento on Thursday, says businesses can manage their online reputations by responding to customer reviews, both good and bad.
Take a deep breath and respond carefully to negative comments, but always thank those who post a complimentary review, said Morgan Remmers, Yelp's manager of local business outreach in San Francisco.
Do it yourself
While reputation management firms may charge fees from a few thousand to a few million a year for high-level corporate and government accounts, there also are sites that cater to everyday people.
BrandYourself.com, started in New York by two young entrepreneurs in 2012, offers free and paid services.
It lets you create a free profile page, as well as submit up to three sources -- say, your LinkedIn profile or a mention on your company's website. It reviews those, then gives tips to make them more appealing to Google search engines. For those wanting expanded help, it offers paid services for $80 a year and up.
Reputation management firms see all types of clients.
BrandYourself, for instance, had a New York doctor who was continually losing business to a similarly named colleague who had less-than-favorable reviews on professional websites. Another client's 2002 wedding was prominently featured in a New York Times story. Now divorced and embarking on a new career, she sought the company's help in submerging her wedding story, so it wasn't the first item popping up in a Google search of her name.
Youthful escapades also can be problematic. Zammuto said he's working with a mid-30s business owner who posed for Playgirl magazine in his 20s. Now married, the business owner sought help in getting his "reclining nude" photos to drop lower in Google searches. In another case, a young Drexel University business major was mortified by sexually explicit photos taken by a boyfriend that frequently showed up when she Googled her own name. She had dropped out of social media altogether.
Wrong approach, said Zammuto. In both cases, he advises getting lots of new content posted that include headshot photos -- ideally in a business suit. Eventually, those professional images will help push the more salacious ones deeper into Google's recesses.
Buy your name
Zammuto recommends going to domain sites, like GoDaddy.com, and buying your name.
''Buy your 'firstnamelastname.com,' as well as .net and .org," he said. "With each of those sites, put up different content. You're trying to take up slots on a Google search page."
For instance, he said, your .com site can discuss previous jobs and professional accomplishments. On .net, put up content about your academic history and extracurricular activities you're proud of. On .org, post your views on business or career-related topics.
In the case of the Drexel business major, "Who cares about a bachelor-degree student's views on BofA earnings? That's not the point," said Zammuto. "Google will care. What's important is that when people search for her, that's what comes up."
DIY tools
There are plenty of do-it-yourself tools for those who want to be sure their online reputation stays clean.
Scott Eggert, director of digital communications for Merlot Marketing in Sacramento, uses a number of tools, both personally and for his clients.
He recommends setting up three: Google Alerts, which sends an email anytime your name (or any selected search topic, such as "Sacramento Kings") appears online; Newsle.com, which sends email alerts when your name (or anyone else's you choose) is published in news articles or online blog posts; and Mention.net, which covers the "nooks and crannies," such as social media mentions. ("It's backup," said Eggert. "It catches stuff that Google Alerts might miss.")
Eggert, president of the Social Media Club Sacramento, which hosts workshops on how to use social media effectively, said setting up a free Google Alert (www.google.com/alerts) for your name is a good first step.
''Most people should do that, if they have any online exposure at all. You want to know if there's good buzz and if the opposite is true, too."
Another recommended site: Completed.com, which lets you create an online showcase of your accomplishments and professional successes.
Even the completely innocent can get tarnished online by sharing a name with someone notorious. That's what inspired the 25-year-old co-founders of Brand-Yourself. When Ambron's business partner, Pete Kistler, was still in college, he couldn't get an internship, a job interview or even a callback from employers, until he discovered that bad publicity about a local drug dealer with the same name was popping up first on Google.
''Bad search results happen to good people," said Ambron. For anyone, the solution is to "bury all the unwanted things as deep in Google as you can."
3.3 billion: The number of search queries processed by Google on an average day.
94: The rough percentage of Google searches that never go past the first page of results
20: The percentage of HR professionals who screen job candidates using social networking sites, including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, according to a 2013 survey
90: The percentage of job search firms that routinely do online searches of job candidates to "help draw a complete picture."
50: The approximate percentage of corporate recruiters who have rejected job candidates for "digital dirt": negative details found online, such as criminal records, tweets about management style, workplace sexual harassment claims or Facebook posts involving nudity, drugs or alcohol. That's up from 26 percent in 2005, according to ExecuNet.com.
82: The percentage of corporate recruiters who say a candidate's job prospects go up when positive details (published articles, community service, professional connections) show up online
$1.6 billion: The amount spent by small- to medium-size businesses in 2012 for "email, reputation and presence" management.

Be it balsamic or just the plain apple cider variety, vinegar perks up the flavor of salads, barbecue, and even dessert.
- Photo: Lee Harrelson; Styling: Virginia Houston
Versatile VinegarAdding a splash of something acidic, like vinegar, tends to brighten the flavors of almost any dish. But don't limit yourself to one variety. Like wine, vinegars each have distinct personalities from mildly sour rice wine vinegar to boldly sweet Italian balsamic. Once opened, use vinegar up within six months.
Honeydew Relish SaladHoneydew melon, cucumber, grapes, and celery make a beautiful green salad. But it's a simple dressing of honey, white wine vinegar, and mustard seeds that "pickles" and elevates these ordinary ingredients into a sweet-tart masterpiece.
Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes.
Pulled-Pork FajitasAn easy Carolina-style barbecue sauce of cider vinegar, sugar, cayenne, and Worcestershire put a delicious Southern spin on Mexican fajitas. Use leftover rotisserie chicken (the dark meat works best) in place of the pork for an even quicker meal.
Strawberries with Buttermilk Ice and Balsamic VinegarA granita-style frozen ice with buttermilk, lemon juice, and a tiny amount of sugar tops sliced strawberries drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
Pickled Grapes With Rosemary and ChilesAdd these gorgeous spicy-tart grapes to an antipasto platter or cheese plate or stir them into chicken or mixed green salads. Guests will love the complex flavors. But the best part: prep time is 10 minutes and "pickling" happens in the fridge in just a few hours.
Zesty Vinegar ColeslawThe neat thing about adding hot salad dressing to shredded cabbage is that it wilts the greens just slightly for a wonderfully tender-crunchy texture. The dressing combines sugar, oil, and cider vinegar with pungent turmeric to put a spunky and colorful kick into an old picnic favorite.
Turmeric adds a pungent flavor and a deep yellow color. It can be found in the spice section of your grocery store.
Flank Steak with Caramelized Onions
The reduced balsamic vinegar sauce gives the flank steak a unique flavor that pairs perfectly with the caramelized onions. Both the steak and onions contribute a hefty dose of potassium to this entrée--766 milligrams in each serving. Serve with steamed broccoli or asparagus, and drizzle some of the glaze over the vegetable.
Penne with Roasted Asparagus and Balsamic ButterBalsamic vinegar is reduced to make a thick, sweet glaze to toss with butter, pasta, and whatever vegetable is in season. Since the formula is so simple, it's easy to substitute seasonal vegetables–including broccoli, green beans, or roasted bell pepper strips–for the asparagus.
Simmering the balsamic vinegar both mellows and thickens it. When tossed with the hot pasta and the butter, it forms a smooth, uniquely flavored sauce.

College basketball • Former Utah Ute Will Clyburn was named the Big 12's Rookie of the Week on Monday after posting back-to-back double-doubles an honor made for some good-natured ribbing by Clyburn's teammates considering that he's 22 and at his third college.
Clyburn torched then-No. 11 Kansas State for 24 points and 10 rebounds Saturday as Iowa State held off the Wildcats 74-69 for their first win over a ranked opponent this season. It was a win the Cyclones (14-5, 4-2 Big 12) badly needed after an ugly loss at Texas Tech, and it kept them afloat in the upper half of the league ahead of Wednesday's game at Oklahoma State (13-5, 3-3).
Clyburn is averaging 14.4 points.
Utah lands two defensive linemen
college football • Sese Ianu, a defensive tackle from Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Calif., committed to Utah on Monday, a day after Gaius Vaenuku, a defensive end from Euless, Texas, picked the Utes.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Ianu also was considering Arizona State, Oregon State, Boise State and Washington State.
In addition, Clarence Smith, a 6-3, 215-pound running back/linebacker from Youngker H.S. in Buckeye, Ariz., also committed to the Utes.
Dodgers reach deal for own TV channel
BASEBALL • The Los Angeles Dodgers formally announced a deal with Time Warner Cable on Monday to create a new TV channel that people familiar with the situation say assures the team more than $7 billion over 25 years. That is double what Major League Baseball thought the local TV rights were worth when the team was sold out of bankruptcy just last year.
SportsNet LA will be available throughout Southern California and Hawaii on Time Warner Cable for the 2014 Major League Baseball season, the team said Monday.
• Infielder Ronny Cedeno has agreed to a $1.15 million, one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 29-year-old Cedeno batted .259 with four homers and 22 RBIs last year for the New York Mets.

And on a ram air hood to you need to buy a ducting kit or does the hood already have the ducts built in? I ask this cause i have seen hoods that say they have the ducts already in them and also seen ducting kits for ram air.

Do you guys have a conclusion on why your the underbored/overbored barrels didn't do as well as the correctly bored barrel? According to the video underbore/overbore should be more accurate, right? Does it have to do with the quality of porting?
And I was actually talking to guys on A5OG about whether or not the Hammerhead is rifled all the way through/same diameter. So it's not? Or does the rifling/consistent diameter just end near the end of the barrel? And why should it matter if the front of the barrel is .700?
Do you think that the Hammerhead suffers in accuracy behind the CP 14" because you can't get the same quality of finish on a barrel with lands and grooves as you can on a barrel that's just polished?
"didn't do as well" - I'll parse that a bit if you don't mind. There are four performance criteria that matter on barrels. Efficiency, consistency, barrel breaks and accuracy. here's how things stack up:
overbore = good consistency, poor efficiency
paint to barrel match = poor consistency, moderate efficiency
underbore = good consistency, good efficiency
all barrels are the same on accuracy and barrel breaks
as to the hammerhead desing - we tested the MoFo and the band stikxx. they use a short barrel sizer - about 2" long. that's smooth if I remember correctly. then it steps up to the rifled front of the barrel. the reason the bore of that matters is that being a large bore barrel the paint doesn't make much (if any) real contact with the rifling - so imparting spin would be unliklely.
And just to be clear, the hammerhead wasn't worse tan the CP. it wasn't better either. they shot quite similar accuracy-wise.

Well it has taken me a number of years to finally get to the point where I am actually putting my Boba Fett costume together. I am doing everything myself using as many resources as possible. I have completed my gauntlets. I am pretty happy with these. I have been working primarily with pepakura but have used many techniques with the use of plastics, bondo, cardboard, or anything else that I can come up with. I used Skips pepakura file along with Alan's templates as a hybrid. All the paint and construction was done by myself. Let me know what you think.
I have also constructed the jetpack and helmet. Which are both in process and in various stages. I also designed my knee armor to be used in pepakura. I used Alan's templates for the base. I haven't constructed them yet but will be doing so here shortly.
As if this isn't enough I am also working on a Boushh for my wife. We have decided to get patterns and make all the soft parts ourselves. We are trying to do as much of this in house as possible.
Let me know what you think for my first attempt.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have just ordered a 154, cannot wait to test it out in Laax - end of Jan seems so far away though
|Slush Puppie
I'm 165lb and rode a Proto CT 154 for a few days earlier in the year. That size felt spot on and it rode knee deep pow absolutely fine.
Bet you had fun in Val with the conditions like they are. I rode an Sl 155 (very very close to the Proto) there a few weeks ago and it was awesome down everything piste or pow.
Thanks nofronts and tecknojoe - I only ride about 3 weeks a season so am definitely looking for a 1 board quiver, which is why the Proto CT seems to fit the bill very nicely.
It's a case of riding powder whenever it's available and we don't get a whole lot in Europe...just back from plenty in Val D'Isere though which is why it has become more of a consideration!
I have the proto ct in 154. I came off a never summer 151 (non rocker). It rides a lot bigger, in fact, too big for me. I only get a couple powder days per season, even here in colorado. It's my go anywhere / do anything board, so I don't need it for 10 powder days a year.
I'm looking to go back down to a 152 now since this board feels much bigger to me.
and yes, I used the 151 in powder just fine. I don't get many 4 ft days at wolf creek, but the occasional 1 to 2 ft that I get maybe twice a season, I just lean back
just ask yourself how many days a season do you ride full on powder. If it's more than a few, go bigger. less, and the 154 would b fine
|I ride a Proto CT 157 and was just out at wolf creek with about 4ft of powder. I love the board but it was awful in powder. If you are strictly looking to ride powder i would look for another stick or just get another board just for powder.
NS Proto CT - 154 in pow?
Hi everyone,
Following alot of research and reading I've decided that the Never Summer Proto CT is the new board for me! Only problem is, I can't decide between the 154 and 157
I am 5'11" and weigh around 158lbs/72kgs (tall and skinny build) - currently riding a 158 Salomon Official with size UK10 (US11) Salomon F20 boots. These are low profile boots so waist width will be fine even on the 154.
I really want to go with the 154 as by all accounts it will be easier to butter and better for tight tree runs. Following a serious injury I am no speed demon so am less concerned with stability at high speed...
Everything points towards the 154 but my one concern is - will it be ok in powder? My Official 158 is ok cruising pow and if the Proto CT in 154 matches it then not a problem (from what I have read the Proto rides a couple of cms longer than it's actual length due to the stubby nose and tail and is pretty good in pow thanks to the rocker between the feet)...but I am concerned that I will need even more weight on the back leg to keep the nose up than I currently do on my Official!
Any help/advice would be very, very appreciated...

For some really wear reason my root password it's doesn't work after make an clean re installation of my bt4, the only difference i do, it's to chance the root password with the gui on users and groups manager, so today i go out of the office and in a chill out time i dispose to start my bt and the pwd of the root doesn't work, i try every pwd i use just in case, and nothing, so i start my slow win7 and looking for some solution and i found this thread:
So i do step by step all, and doesn't give me the prompt, so i try on my own and the process vary just for a little, for the purpose of this how to i use the characters "< >" to refer to keystroke and " " to refer to a command, so this is how you can do:
Step one: Reboot or power on your computer without any cd or usb of BT.
Step two: On the grub screen press <ESC> this is for stop the count down of the automatic boot
Step Three: Automatically the first option will highlight (yes is the normal boot option not the recovery).
Step Four: Press <e> and a text will appear it's a custom commands to initialize.
Step Five: Press <TAB> this will return you a error message this it's ok.
Step Six: Press <ESC>.
Step Seven: Press <e>.
Step Eight: Using your arrow keys, scroll back and change the word "ro" and yes is "ro" not "row", and change this parameter for the letters "rw" after change this, go to the end of the line and type "init = /bin/bash" exactly how you see with the spaces.
Step Nine: Press <Enter>.
Step Ten: Press <b> this will boot your BT
Step Eleven: You will have to wait to the return of the command prompt yes it's a nice bash shell
Step Twelve: Type on the prompt "passwd root" <Enter>
Step Thirteen: After you hit <Enter> the prompt will ask to you the new password for the user root, so write your new password, and repeat the password hit <Enter>.
Step Fourteen: Press <ctrl> + <d> this cause a kernel panic and the system will freeze.
Step Fifteen: Power down your computer pressing the power button.
Step Sixteen: Power on your computer and boot in normal mode, and you can login with your new password .
On my next how to i will try to make a video tutorial, regards.
