Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by BillLaimbeer, Feb 18, 2008.
I think my guys woke up a bit too late. Oh well, this will be good learning experience for me.
I dunno. He doesn't look or sound like a Cannuckian to me.
I'm part German. Plus, Manfred is a serious name. No one messes with a Manfred.
Your name could be Genghis Khan or Atilla the Hun and I would STILL mess with you, irregardless.
texiera finally woke up for you though, eh?
Yeah, I was very happy to see the 3 homers yesterday. I already had that category firmly in hand by Sunday though. I wish he would have hit them today. Utley is the guy I need to wake up. Last week was the worst slump of his career. He'll be fine though. Anyhow, he's my favorite player so I've got faith. Marmol got bombed on your end, but he's Mr. reliable. You'll love his consistency. I don't know why the Cubbies don't make him their main reliever. If so, his value skyrockets. Berkman and Kendrick also had nice batting averages and lots of hits last week. I could have used those big time! Berkman is on the verge of having one of the greatest fantasy seasons ever. It hurt to let him go. I wouldn't have done it for anyone but Utley.
i need to find some weekend players... this is the 3rd time i wake up sat morning and have atleast a 6-3 lead and monday morn see i have lost the week... blah.... lol
Alright people, I don't have a son in this league that can use his high waiver priority to pickup a recently dropped player and then trade him to me to fill a hole (), so I'm looking to make a trade. I'm looking to improve my pitching stats (of course it doesn't help that I have 3 pitchers on the DL). Specifically, I'm looking to improve my Wins, Ks, ERA and WHIP. My closer Brian Wilson is on the trading block. I don't really want to mess with my position players too much, but I'd be willing to move Carlos Gomez, David Murphy, Casey Kotchman, Alfonso Soriano or Eric Byrnes (the last 2 are currently on the DL) in a deal to get better in the above mentioned pitching categories. Hit me up if you're interested in making a deal.
I offer up two of the best pitchers in baseball (Webb, Haren) for just one of your players and you reject me? Do you really want to deal?
I said that I didn't really want to shake up my position players and you asked me for my best one! Not that the trade offer was horrible. I did consider it for a minute, but I just don't want to mess with my lineup. It's been really good to me so far.
You're lucky my guys are tanking this week. Come to think of it, they've been tanking every week.
We're actually very close on most of the categories. Of course I have 5 guys on the DL right now, but hey, that isn't your fault.
I just want to say YOU GUYS totally SUCK!!!! I most likely won't win this week. So that will make 5 consecutive weeks I have either tied or lost close matches. I'm in a major slump. How the hell am I still in first place? (That could change after today...but I'm just sayin'). Doggone it, I was doing better when I was plagued with injuries. I could do this and beat you losers with my eyes closed. I probably should...I couldn't do any worse than I actually am! I love my team, though. Lots of Phillies and stocked with my favorite guys. Roscoe is super consistent....that's almost an oxymoron. Jammer will be even tougher when he gets healthy. Bill has made some great pickups (for him and his kid...and for him FROM his kid). Whichever team gets the sixth spot (four teams are currently battling for it) will not be easy by any means. This thing is totally up for grabs. Lotsa fun! Only 8 weeks to go after today. Time is flying as we enter the stretch. Hang on to your hats... Well, at this rate, I'll make the playoffs without a problem but I can look forward to a first round exit.
This could be fun with only a 3-day week. Good luck setting your starting pitchers everyone!!
It's been very quiet in here. One week plus ONE day to go in the regular season. That day (today) is big because in this league the whole week can (and often does go topsy turvy on the last day of the week). I doubt it matters if you get a bye which one you get because any of these teams in the playoffs can beat anyone. It's crazy close. That's why a bye is big. You don't want to play week one if you don't absolutely have to. So what can we look forward to? A few teams will clinch this week. Nobody has clinched yet. Playoff contenders most likely... Darth's Phillies...Pretty much led the league from start to finish despite a nine week or so non-winning streak (if you don't count a big win in the all star shortened week). The real Phillies were slumping and therefore so was I. Luckily most of my matches were close. I'll be in the playoffs, and I've got a good shot at one of the byes. My pitching has kept me alive. Jammer...No pitching but real good hitting. Been at the top all year. Pretty consistent. 1st place? It looked bad early in the week for Jammer, but he's taken the lead on Lambs kid. Laimbeer...League champ? Will he get the bye? Will he take first place from Darth next week. Great pitching and flavor of the week hitting makes him streaky but very dangerous. Working that waiver wire tough. Good job. Lambs kid...Dangerous but streaky...but aren't we all. I think Dad is helping. Outside chance at a bye...looked like he was going to get one early in the week. Roscoe...So consistent early. Not good lately. Will he make the playoffs? Gonna be close. Round...The rookie started slow but is looking good for a playoff spot. But having a tough week. He needs to tighten it up today. Great first year. Gazoo...Wow..the green guy is HOT! He came out of nowhere and is a strong threat for one of the last two spots. Nice comeback. One of these teams will miss the championship round. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Consolation round most likely Bezeach...Has struggled all year, but keeps trying. Wart...Made a huge trade with Darth but no other waiver moves all year. Looks good some weeks, but the slow start killed him. Mikhail...Good job sticking with it but better luck next year. Great job by everyone. Nobody quit setting their lineup or making moves and the good sportsmanship is much appreciated by everyone... The playoffs will be nuts. I have no clue which team comes out on top.
There has been a lot of parity this season. I'll actually be paying attention to my players today. I need a BIG victory this week.
My team sucks. They are all fired.
or go with the Joe Dumars option of 2008...
OK. Someone explain Cannuckian logic to me. Jammer has 21 guys on his sorry baseball team. 2 play for the Toronto Blue Jays. 7 of 21 play for the Chicago Cubs. That is one third (I am thinking Roscoe can't do the math) WHY THE HECK IS Jammer's TEAM NAMED "JAMMER'S JAYS" ??????????????????????????????
Uh, you're killing me this week and it looks like I'll be on the outside looking in AGAIN for the playoffs.
Separate names with a comma.

John Harrigan: On bad drivers, gun laws and helpful weasels
JOHN HARRIGAN | February 15. 2014 8:33PM
It was not that I feared the weather, as I explained to listeners on Jack Heath's "New Hampshire Today" show on WGIR during my regular Friday 8:10 a.m. stint. With the best deep-tread winter snow tires I can buy on the all-wheel-drive Subaru, and four big studded snow tires on the four-wheel drive truck, I hardly ever let the weather stop me from getting where I need to be.
Pie in the sky department:
What I've been waiting for - but have not seen - is someone pointing out how ridiculous the current spate of proposed "new" gun laws is. There are already hundreds of gun laws on the books, and nothing new would be needed if we enforced what's already there. Even the one suggestion that makes sense - access to medical records to winnow out those who are mentally unstable or insane - is running smack into medical ethics and privacy issues.
- - - - - - - -
The best mouse-trap ever devised is a weasel. Veteran camp owners and occupants of far flung homes and farms know that a weasel is a mouse-eradicating gift from the gods - as long as you don't have chickens.
"Caught this little guy the other day nibbling at my suet. Believe it's an ermine (lesser weasel) in winter coat. Pretty neat. Jim Viar, Canterbury.

To encourage promising high school students to pursue careers in academia and research, Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine welcome scholars from Baltimore's Boys Hope Girls Hope (BHGH) to work in university laboratories. From June through August each summer for the past three years, high school students have worked alongside scientists in Johns Hopkins University laboratories producing raw data that supports the research goals of their mentors.
This summer, the university welcomed four BHGH scholars and, at the conclusion of the session, the scholars presented their findings to faculty, students, staff, and members of their families during a poster session held, August 12. The program also celebrated its first two high school graduates.
Matthew Green-Hill has been in the BHGH/INBT program for three summers. He graduated this spring from Archbishop Curley High School and was accepted to The College of William and Mary where he plans to study political science. He worked in the lab of assistant professor Sean Taverna in the department of pharmacology and molecular sciences. Along with his mentor PhD student Tonya Gilbert, Green-Hill presented "Cloning Yng1 to Identify Novel Histone Modification Binding Motifs that may affect Gene Expression" at the poster session.
Dwayne Thomas II worked in the cell biology laboratory of associate professor Douglas Robinson. He and his mentor, PhD student Hoku West-Foyle, conducted research that was presented in the poster "Dictyostelium discoideum myosin-ll, a modular motor." Thomas has participated in the summer research program for two summers. He graduated from Loyola Blakefield in May and will attend Loyola University Maryland in the fall as a biology/pre-med major.
Working in the biological chemistry laboratory of professor Craig Montell, Durrell Igwe was mentored by postdoctoral fellow Marquis Walker and presented the poster "Reduced Immune Response in Drosophila Lysosomal Storage Disease Model." This is also Igwe's second year in the program, and he will graduate from Archbishop Curley High School in the spring of 2012.
One of the newest BHGH scholars is Charles Booth, who worked with postdoctoral fellow Yulia Artemenko in the cell biology lab of professor Peter Devreotes. He presented the poster "Analysis of the Functional Redundancy Between Dictyostelium KrsB and Its Mammalian Homolog Mstl." Booth attends Calvert Hall and will be a junior this fall.
The BHGH program is geared toward students with academic potential but who lack the resources or stability to achieve their full potential. Some of those who have participated in the program may have at one time missed weeks of school in the past. Others have even been homeless. Students voluntarily apply to the nonprofit program to access services such as a stable home, tutoring, and counseling. Scholars have the opportunity to live together in an adult-supervised house in Baltimore and attend local private schools. Both boys and girls participate in the program and next year, Robinson said he hopes Hopkins will attract some of the young women interested in science and medicine to work in sponsored laboratories.

Exact real arithmetic
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
Exact real arithmetic is an interesting area: it is a deep connection between
- numeric methods
- and deep theoretic fondations of algorithms (and mathematics).
Its topic: computable real numbers raise a lot of interesting questions rooted in mathematical analysis, arithmetic, but also Computability theory (see numbers-as-programs approaches).
Computable reals can be achieved by many approaches -- it is not one single theory.
1.1 What it is not
Exact real arithmetic is not the same as fixed arbitrary precision reals (see
Precision(n) of Yacas).
Exact reals must allow us to run a huge series of computations, prescribing only the precision of the end result. Intermediate computations, and determining their necessary precision must be achieved automatically, dynamically.
Maybe another problem, but it was that lead me to think on exact real arithmetic: using some Mandelbrot-plotting programs, the number of iterations must be prescribed by the user at the beginning. And when we zoom too deep into these Mandelbrot worlds, it will become ragged or smooth. Maybe solving this particular problem does not need necessarily the concept of exact real arithmetic, but it was the first time I began to think on such problems.
See other numeric algorithms at Libraries and tools/Mathematics.
1.2 Why, are there reals at all, which are defined exactly, but are not computable?
See Wikipedia article on Chaitin's construction, referring to e.g.
- Computing a Glimpse of Randomness (written by Cristian S. Calude, Michael J. Dinneen, and Chi-Kou Shu)
- Omega and why math has no TOEs (Gregory Chaitin).
Some more direct relatedness to functional programming: we can base Ω on combinatory logic (instead of a Turing machine), see the prefix coding system described in Binary Lambda Calculus and Combinatory Logic (page 20) written by John Tromp:
of course, c, d are metavariables, and also some other notations are changed slightly.
Now, Chaitin's construction will be here
- hnf
- should denote an unary predicate "has normal form" ("terminates")
- dc
- should mean an operator "decode" (a function from bit finite bit sequences to combinatory logic terms)
- should denote the set of all finite bit sequences
- Rngdc
- should denote the range of decoding function, e.g. the syntactically correct bit sequences (semantically, they may either terminate or diverge),
- "Absolut value"
- should mean the length of a bit sequence (not combinatory logic term evaluation!)
Here, dc is a partial function (from finite bit sequences). If this is confusing, then we can choose a more Haskell-like approach, making dc a total function:
dc :: [Bit] -> Maybe CL
then, Chaitin's construction will be
where should denote false truth value.
2 Theory
Jean Vuillemin's Exact real computer arithmetic with continued fractions is very good article on the topic itself. It can serve also as a good introductory article, too, because it presents the connections to both mathematical analysis and Computability theory. It discusses several methods, and it describes some of them in more details.
Martín Escardó's project A Calculator for Exact Real Number Computation -- its chosen functional language is Haskell, mainly because of its purity, lazyness, presence of lazy lists, pattern matching.
Martín Escardó has many exact real arithetic materials also among his many papers.
3 Portal-like homepages
3.1 Exact Computation
There are functional programming materials too, even with downloadable Haskell source.
3.2 ExactRealArithmetic
This HaWiki article provides links to many implementations.

Is there a way to switch the input and output? This is a little pocket amp speaker. The input is a weird 8 pronged plug and the output will fit a 1/8 jack.
Printable View
Is there a way to switch the input and output? This is a little pocket amp speaker. The input is a weird 8 pronged plug and the output will fit a 1/8 jack.
What was the input originally connected to? A plug or ribbon cable? May want to use that to wire a 1/8th input to if you can trace the wires to the original input source (mic?)
The input looks like 4 pins from the pic. Do you have a multimeter?
Here's a pic of what it was. You can see the ribbon coming off the top that is the input. It has 8 pins if you look at the green side of the first pic you can see the 8 solder marks. I do have a multimeter I do not really know how to use it though.
This actually shouldn't be a very hard mod. You just need to find the positive and negative voltage ends then wire up a 2 pole mic to those prongs. If you want to make the mic removeable, then get yourself a mini-stereo plug (both male and female ends) then wire it up the same way.
If you go the mini-stereo plug route, then let me suggest that you use a powered lapel mic. I switched over to using that just before SDCC last year, and although the mic was like $25 it was a great investment. I'm still running on the same battery I bought it with, and It's pretty loud.
Here is a link regarding multimeters. Multimeters
Did the mic original mic have any batteries or just plug right in? If it just plugs in without it's own batteries, as said you can probably just use a 2 wire mic and try touching the pins. (disclaimer here :p - always use caution with electronics, AC for sure). This is battery powered though right?
Read about continuity. If you set the multimeter on the continuity setting, you can see if 2 leads are physically connected in the circuit. Usually the meter will make a sound to show this. Make sure the cables are plugged in COM (-) and V~ma.
The ribbon has a white stripe, probably the ground wire. Not sure about 8 pins though.

You may have seen my previous post, subject "image size" It seems that only gazmaster has an opinion on this topic, so maybe it is not an issue for most members.
I am sorry for pushing you like this, but I really feel this needs to be considered. and I don' want to PM you again as I feel that is an intrusion.
The thing is, it is just too hard to give a real evaluation of a 2000 plus resolution image when reduced to 600 pixels. I have seen that most other photography sites that I have visited have larger images and I really believe it would help this site if 800 pixels were allowed, with a file size limit of maybe 250kb or something if server usage is a problem.
Another option would be to faciltate linking from an image hosting site, this does not seem to be a feature of photography sites like this and there may be a valid reason of which I am unaware.
I am a fairly new but active member of your site and I think it is the best photography site I have seen. I will continue to use and support it whatever your decision, but please, if there is a way, increase the allowable image size.
For Mark

When ambiguity rears its nebulous head, how can we move our projects forward with certainty? According to Harry Robinson, one of the most useful things a tester can do is ask good questions early in the software development process to help the rest of the team members to think clearly about what they are doing. In this column, Harry offers us some weapons to defend ourselves against the misunderstandings, bugs, and rework that often result from ambiguities in the development process.
A few years back, there was a Dilbert cartoon where Dogbert would wave a wand and proclaim "Out Out!! You demons of stupidity!!" I don't typically have many problems with stupidity—the people I work with tend to be on the bright side—but I would love to have a wand like that to dispel ambiguities, because ambiguities plague my life. And they probably plague yours, too.
What Are We Talking About?
The main street in my town has a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Near the local elementary school, however, there is a sign that says
Speed Limit 20 mph
When Children are Present
The intent of the school zone is obviously to keep kids safe, but I find the sign ambiguous. Like almost everyone else in this situation, I simply drive slowly as I get near the school, but if I had to explain the school zone rules effectively to a computer, I would have to understand the rules much better.
- Why does the sign use the plural "children" instead of the singular "child"? Does the rule only apply if more than one child is present?
- Who qualifies as a "child"? What would happen if I drove past a 17-year-old at 25 mph?
- What does it mean to be "present"? A child walking along the sidewalk is certainly present, but what if the child was behind a fence?
- Does this rule apply only when school is in session? What about weekends? Holidays? Nighttime?
- And what if these situations are combined: two 17-year-olds behind a fence in a school zone on a summer weekend night? Well, maybe that's a whole different story ...
I could, of course, drive back and forth to test out each of these situations, but it would be a lot cheaper to find out the answers without having the police pull me over.
Have You Helped Someone to Think Clearly Today?
One of the most useful things a tester can do is ask good questions early in the software development process to help the rest of the team members to think clearly about what they're doing.
I recently helped someone design a utility to start and stop a service on a remote machine. Even this simple utility yielded several good questions:
- What happens if you send a "start" request to a service that is already running, or a "stop" request to a service that is not running?
- What if the remote machine reboots - does a running service automatically restart?
- What happens if the connection drops when you are sending your request? Does the utility return an error message, or does it retry? How many times does it retry?
Asking these questions up front saved us from misunderstandings and bugs later in the process that could have required substantial rework.
Driving Out Your Own Demons
Here are some simple heuristics to help you drive out the ambiguities you encounter.
- Dissect the description. Are the words open to different interpretations? The book Exploring Requirements by Weinberg and Gause uses this approach to twist the phrase Mary had a little lamb into everything from Mary ate a small portion of mutton to Mary conned the naïve stock trader. The authors state that "although the nursery rhyme example may seem silly, we've used this heuristic for years in reviewing requirements documents, and it has often saved vast sums of money." (p.95)
- Poke at the borders. Terms often map imperfectly onto each other, so find the fuzzy areas. For instance, in the remote service example, how will we check that a service is running? Are we checking a flag somewhere? Could that flag be improperly set to indicate that the service is running when it really isn't?
- Walk through an example. Scenarios are very powerful tools because they present a concrete situation rather than vague abstractions. Testers particularly shine in thinking up error scenarios. What if the connection drops? What if the customer enters something incorrectly? What if the disk is full? What happens if I pull out this cable?
- Get others involved. You should be not only a source of good questions, but an inspiration for good questions from others. Developers, for instance, have a different perspective and often think of questions testers might not. Once you begin to ask the "what happens if" questions, others will find themselves joining in.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Brian Morency
|I appreciate all the advice. I understand i need larger converter and gears in order to take advantage of the large cam. In just saying it runs strong when in the power band.
"Roll Racing"? Does this mean the car has a hard time getting started? What Tech, Bogie and others are telling you is "word". They've all "led the horse to water . . . ", but it seems you keep drinking the kool aid.
Best of luck with your solutions.
|Brian Morency
|I'm running pretty good with 1600 converter and 2.73 gears at the roll racing. Taking out 13.2-12.8 cars as is pretty good.
My guess is nowhere NEAR what horsepower you would get using that camshaft in an engine set up propery for that cam. You will require a static compression ratio of 11:1 , quench at 35 - 40 thou , good flowing aftermarket heads , 750 CFM carby / victor junior, upgraded ignition system, 3500 stall converter , MIMIMUM 3.50:1 gearing( with a 26" tyre ),
Ya can't just chuck a camshaft like that into a 'stock' bottom end and expect that it's gonna be all good, if it was THAT easy, everybody would be doing it!
|I agree that motor will make you sad will. Not be near anything u hoping for if you can afford gears an. Other stuff I would take some that money and pull cam and replace.it with something that will wake the motor up be cheaper for now then all the parts you need to wake the cam up
Heck, the cam is almost the LAST thing you pick, to match it correctly to the rest of your setup!
To which I'll add that to get to the needed compression will not only involve a better than a 1970's head but you've got to consider the piston as well. A lot of research has gone into combustion over the past 20 years as a result of government mandates to lower emissions while increasing fuel mileage. It turns out that a lot of goodness for the Hot Rodder and the Racer has come out of this. Witness the Chevy LSx series, Ford's Modular, and Chrysler's Magnum; all produce power and mileage at levels not only unheard of 25-30 years ago but not even thought possible. A key (not the only one but certainly a major one) to these results is the combustion chamber shape inclusive of the piston crown. Let me say that your obsolete 1970 engine drew you unknowingly into the old hot rodders syndrome of a big cam cures your low power woes. This was thinking typical of the pre-L31 Vortec head days. Before the mid 1990's very few people including many pro-racers understood that bolting on a head with the right chamber shape could increase power output by 40-50 horses with no other changes. Then those who could afford to score a Brownfield small block head back in the 1980's surely found out and it became an immediate secret you didn't share with the competition. Even the the similar chambered and well idea advanced LT1 and LT4 of the 1990's didn't make a big splash in rodders thinking. But when the L31 Vortec arrived the community went nuts when they discovered that these things, while not Brownfields in performance nor cost, would boost power an easy 20 often 30 and if you had the intake and exhaust system optimized sometimes 40 or 50 ponies grew where there were none before. Today most heads OEM and aftermarket domestic and foreign that have gone to tight, small, heart shaped chambers where not too many years the mantra was open chambers because they breathe better at least on a flow bench while the combustion process was ignored.
The piston must be considered with the cylinder head and cam, as the cam used needs to drive the compression ratio. The greater the duration and lift the higher the compression needs to be. The down side limit is that modern pump fuels do limit how far the compression can go. But you need to keep in mind that modern heads such as the L31 Vortec do stretch the pump rated octane of the fuel by 4 or 5 more marks allowing a 92 octane to react as if it were 96 or 97. Aluminum heads will push this even further as they easily allow another full ratio over cast iron because they pull heat out faster. So you run the engine a bit hotter 10-20 degrees and run the compression up, this more than compensates for the heat loss out of the chamber and rewards you with yet more power.
Compression is everything in terms of getting the power out of the cam, in that vein you need to drive out the Dynamic Compression Ratio, this is the ratio that accounts for where the piston is on the compression stroke when the intake valve seats. It becomes a reciprocal game mathematically to calculate against the Static Compression Ratio which is the sum of all the cylinder's volumes divided by just the volume above, but including the piston crown, when the piston is at TDC. The problem long cams present is that it's hard to get the ratios up where needed without going to a domed piston where the fuel may only allow a flat top or D-dish for overall octane tolerance. So it gets to be pretty easy to over cam the engine for these other major constraints. DCR calculators are easy to find on the web, they are fun to play with and you need to do this as a means of parts selection not the other way around.
This also arrives at the ignition system. High compression and high chamber activity demand more from the ignition system. A good Capacitive Discharge (CD) with multi strike capability is a must, these are especially helpful for the engine that sees a lot of street time as high compression engines with highly active chambers can be difficult to light off in typical street driving situations resulting in missfires, fouled plugs, fuel diluted oil, etc. The head in the attached picture is not what you want, this is a poster child for inefficiency and low power output. Some where not too long ago there was a set of pictures by Cobalt or Tech, I don't recall which one put them in which are typical of what you should be looking for.
|Brian Morency
|I can afford the converter and rear suspension now. And rear gears after new years. Possibly stumble onto a larger carb, i think the guy down the rd still has a shelf full in his garage.
|If you have no money then just drive it as it is. not much can be done for free
|Brian Morency
|When the time comes and i can afford some better heads, i will also have the block machined for splayed caps and forged bottom end. But till next year this is what i have to work with.
|I would start with a better exhaust,consider techs converter and gearing,and I think I would want some work done on those heads or buy some heads that flow 230 cfm intake and 180 cfm exhaust, that also give you the CR you want.The car should really wake up,,,consider a new intake/carb later
|Brian Morency
|Oh yeah the bottom end power isn't there till about 3k rpm's and i shift my 700r4 at 6300rpm's. The heads have been cleaned up and rebuilt with poly locks and dual springs.
A 294 cam will make power from 3000 to 7000 and will require 11.0:1+ static compression ratio.
A Torquer intake will make power from 2500 to 6500.
Your stock cylinder heads will make power from idle to 5000. They were designed to haul grandma to bingo and back, not to make high rpm hp.
Can you see a mis-match of parts?
Do you have any idea of the static compression ratio of the motor?
Do you have any idea of the squish you built into the motor?
What rear gear are you planning to run? The 294 cam will require something in the 4's.
Have you bought your 3500 stall converter yet?
Most of you younger fellows have not learned that a camshaft IS NOT a stand-alone part. You can't just grab the highest duration cam you can find, stab it in the motor and expect a world beater. It must be considered as a major part of the entire combination. If you have no idea of the exact static compression ratio of your motor, don't even THINK of trying to choose a camshaft for the motor.
|Brian Morency
Yes of course but right now my rear suspension is the weak link. It's still stock in 86 Camaro. I think with a 3200 stall and 3.73 gears, plus upgrade rear suspension parts, will see much improvement. It still has stock 1600 converter and stock 2.83 or w/e rear gears.
My next engine parts will be larger carb and a possible 75 shot plate n2o kit. Maybe ditch the torker for rpm air-gap.

OpenPrinting.org: Foomatic
Foomatic is a database-driven system for integrating free software printer drivers with common spoolers under Unix. It supports CUPS, LPRng, LPD, GNUlpr, Solaris LP, PPR, PDQ, CPS, and direct printing with every free software printer driver known to us and every printer known to work with these drivers.
Foomatic ships in whole or in part in Mandrake/Mandriva >= 7.2 (full Foomatic from 8.1 on), Red Hat >= 7.1, Conectiva >= 8.0, Debian, SuSE, Ubuntu, and probably most other distributions.
Using Foomatic with a particular printer and spooler
Foomatic provides a universal filter foomatic-rip which works with several spoolers, and a database describing printers and drivers the filter can use. To get your printer working with Foomatic, select the quick-start link for your spooler from this list:
- Foomatic works with all CUPS versions
- Foomatic works with most strains of LPD, and LPRng.
- Foomatic works as PPR RIP for PPR 1.50 and as interface for PPR 1.4x and 1.50.
- Foomatic works with version 2.1 or newer of PDQ.
- No spooler
- Foomatic's foomatic-rip can be invoked directly to print without a spooler.
- Application Setup
- Foomatic and vendor PPD files should also be loaded into client software including OpenOffice, the GIMP, GPR, or Windows or MacOS clients.
Be sure that you have the printer driver itself installed!
See also the tutorial chapter "Foomatic from the User's Point of View: Installing a Printer" (PDF) for more detailed instructions with examples and screenshots. (Note that the instructions in the tutorial are for the former Foomatic 2.0.x.)
Full download
If you want to download the complete Foomatic, consisting of the Foomatic database, the print filters, and the software to generate PPDs and print queues, go to the download area.
Foomatic consists of four packages:
- foomatic-filters
- The universal print filter "foomatic-rip", used by spoolers to convert PostScript job data into the printer's native format as described by a printer/driver-specific PPD file.
- foomatic-db-engine
- Foomatic's database engine generates PPD files from the data in Foomatic's XML database. It also contains scripts to directly configure print queues and handle jobs.
- foomatic-db
- The collected knowledge about printers, drivers, and driver options in XML files, used by foomatic-db-engine to generate PPD files. It also contains manufacturer-supplied PPD files which got released under free software licenses.
- foomatic-db-nonfree
- Foomatic database extension consisting of manufacturer-supplied PPD files released under non-free licenses which restricts them in how they can get redistributed.
The latest packages are always the packages marked with "current" in their file names in the download area. They are a daily snapshot of Foomatic's Bazaar repositories, taken every night at 12:20am Oregon time. There are daily snapshots of the stable "4.0" branches and the "devel" branches, the head of the development.
These packages set up a local copy of the database on install; this is useful if you want to make your own backend or driver distribution, when you are administrator of a network with different printers and spoolers and want to have the same administration commands for all spoolers, or if you want to contribute to the development of the software and the database.
Please read the USAGE files in the main directories of the packages to know how to install and use Foomatic. Note that "foomatic-db" and "foomatic-filters" should be installed before "foomatic-db-engine", and "foomatic-db" also before "foomatic-db-nonfree".
You don't need to install all packages. You can install only "foomatic-filters" and use PPD files from PostScript printers or download the PPD files from OpenPrinting. You can also leave out "foomatic-db-nonfree" if you only want to have free software.
Bug Reports
Please post bug reports on our bug tracking system. Choose "OpenPrinting" as the product and the package name as the component. Choose "foomatic-db" also with problems in the database extensions "foomatic-db-nonfree" and "foomatic-db-hpijs".
More info
Detailed info about how Foomatic works, how the files are structured, and what is planned for the future you can also find in the README files of the "foomatic-db-engine" and "foomatic-filters" packages and in the tutorial chapter "Foomatic from the Developer's View: How does Foomatic work?" (PDF). Note that the tutorial chapter still describes Foomatic 2.0.x.
Bazaar Repositories/Development
If you're interested in easily being always up-to-date with Foomatic, you can get the latest state from our Bazaar repositories (You need to install the Bazaar software):
bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic/foomatic-filters bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic/foomatic-db-engine bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic/foomatic-db bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic/foomatic-db-nonfree
To update your Foomatic package copies, go into the main directory of the package which you wish to update and enter:
bzr pull
Bazaar is a distributed version control system. Every repository downloaded with "bzr branch" contains the full revision history and allows committing changes into it. A "bzr commit" commits into your local branch. For making changes getting back into the official Foomatic repositories on out site, you can either generate patches and send them to us or copy your downloaded and modified branch onto a web server and send us the URL so that we can merge it with our repositories. See the Bazaar tutorials to learn more about using Bazaar.
Current fixes on Foomatic 3.0.x and 4.0.x happen in the stable branches:
bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic-4.0/foomatic-filters bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic-4.0/foomatic-db-engine bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic-3.0/foomatic-filters bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic-3.0/foomatic-db-engine
There are also two experimental branches (note that they got branched off in Foomatic 3.0.x). Do
bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic/foomatic-db-engine-experimental bzr branch http://bzr.openprinting.org/foomatic/foomatic-filters-experimental
to get them. Note that these are more to hold some ideas of new development and they are perhaps not in sync with the standard branches or they are even not working.
A daily Bazaar snapshot lives in the download section; you want the -current files.
You can also watch the development with a web browser via the web interfaces for the Bazaar repositories. Click on the subdirectories to get the web interfaces for each group of repositories. Note that the devel/ directory is a fallback for accessing through old links. It contains symlinks to all the repositories in the other directories.
Development discussion happens on the Foomatic development mailing list.
See also the README and ChangeLog files in each package.

Recording Architectural Decisions - Where, How and Why?
TonyGrout 28000000S8 Tags:  agile offshore outsource agiletales architecture agile_architecture 2,068 Views
Just a quick update today that came out of some coaching I've been doing with a team that's been relatively successful with agile at scale. They've had challenges around recording architectural and design decisions. What should they keep and how should they record it. There are some that would say that all you need is the code and forget recording anything outside of the code. There are others that believe that every aspect of an application should be described separately to the code.
The answer I've seen work best for large projects and or product development is somewhere in between the two.
My experience is that you need the following:-
Here's what I've found works in these areas:-
Enough described to be useful and no more
To address the first point, having an artefact that records the architecture of the system works well. A good architectural record is like a good architecture. It has enough to fulfil it's purpose and no more and follows the architectural principle of form follows function.
Now I've seen some completely useless architectural documents and same can obviously occur with recorded presentations. If the content is poor it doesn't matter how it's recorded it's equally useless. So what should be in the architectural recording. Well there's some standards about what should be described. I'm still a fan of Philip Krutchen's 4+1 view, it's simple without being simplistic, some have a added a data view. However, the way you describe it is your call. Just keep it simple.
A low cost cost of recording this knowledge
So given that it's form should be low cost and allow us to easily consume what the key elements of the system are, in the absence of direct access to key team members, I've seen one approach work really well. Creating a video recording of the lead architect presenting the key architectural elements to the team.
These session is recorded using a video camera (smartphones are good enough now) in front of a live audience that is made up of the team, ideally in a theatre style conference room using whiteboards, modelling tools with a data projector or smart whiteboards. If you have a remote audience then smart whiteboards work and modelling tools will work better. I've used Papershow pretty successfully if you can't stretch to smart whiteboard. Use a tripod even if you're only using a smartphone, it makes the whole thing look more professional. I've used the glifplus with an iPhone.
The ability to have the frequently asked questions answered
Ideally the audience for the session will have some new team members to ask the "getting started" questions. The key things are being able to record the session as a video and having the audience there asking questions of the architect that are answered.
The question and answer part of the presentations should cover the answers to the typical questions a team has about an architecture, such as; "How do we handle security at the field level?" or "If the application falls over what does a recovery look like to the users?" This may mean some scripting if the team has already some of these things before the session.
In my experience of joining projects or having others join projects I've been leading, these videos become one of the most used artefacts for new joiners.
But we outsource
It works equally well with outsource relationships where either the delivery partner is taking on an application maintenance contract and you're providing the architectural video artefact or you're receiving a video back after some architectural changes or for a new application delivery project.
Video architecture artefacts are relatively quick and low cost to re-record, easy to publish and access using the web and collaboration tooling. These video recordings become key artefacts that new team members or those maintaining the application will use.
Moving Your Outsource Partner Towards More Agility
TonyGrout 28000000S8 Tags:  outsource agility-at-scale agile 2,470 Views
Moving your delivery partners and your organisation from a waterfall delivery model to an agile model means building a transition approach that is designed to build trust by addressing the perceived risk to all parties.
The risks to the outsourcing organisation include:-
The outsource partners' risks include:
These risks are some of the reasons that we've spent years working with lawyers and procurement trying to nail down contracts and Service Level Agreements with partners.
It's interesting that some in the agile community say we're incorrect to seek certainty. The challenge is actually that we've confused the definition of certainty. Certainty should not mean expecting to have all of the requirements documented as complete and accurate before they are developed in to code. Certainty is about removing risk as early in the lifecycle as possible.
If you suspect there'll be performance issues then gaining certainty involves creating a contract and funding that motivates the delivery of just enough of the system as executable software to be able to performance test the areas of concern. This has to be better than contracting and funding the production of diagrams showing how the system may deal with the issue.
Moving a delivery partner who is used to managing risk using the Big Requirement Up-front approach to this more agile model is challenging.
So what advice did I give to my client?
If you can't immediatley engage their agile practice (which a lot now appear to have), you'll have to move both them and your organisation in stages.
Using the call the Crawl, Walk, Run adoption approach you can start off with the Crawl approach described below. In no order:
The first thing is to move away from a long list of contextless requirements and start documenting your requirements as Mike Cohn style user stories or Alasdair Cockburn style use cases split into use case scenarios. Make sure that you've thoroughly documented the non-functional requirements and architectural constraints either in the user stories, use cases or separately linked to at least one of these so that later you can test the implementation of the story or use case scenario to demonstrate addressing the non-functionals.
The second thing is to move the delivery mechanism to iterations. Iterations being a fixed time-box which at the end results in working code, ideally of production quality.
The final thing that will ease the transition is to initially use phases that focus on building trust by removing risk and use the appropriate contract types by phase.
Love it or hate it the Open Unfied Process (OpenUP) has useful phases that, since they're built around managing risk using iterations, help the migration of waterfall type organisations to agile. Forget about the activities within the phases, they're interesting as a library of practice but less important, and focus with your delivery partner on the phase outcomes and on how to contract around those. The phases give natural contract and funding break points in the move towards agile. OpenUP also introduces the concept of iterations which are critical in the move to agile. Iterations being time the boxed delivery of user stories/use case scenarios as tested executable code. Iterations again offer a useful contract break point.
So how can the OpenUP phase goals help in the move to agile?
The phases are specifically designed with different risk profiles. They are suited to having different contract types for each phase to balance the risk for all parties. The Inception phase has medium risk as the scope is unclear. The Elaboration phase has high risk since it's purpose is to prove the high risk requirements can be delivered by building them. The Construction phase has medium to low risk since all of the high technical risks should have been removed. Finally the Transition phase's risk profile is based on the complexity of deploying the software; a web application my be low risk to launch where as an update to a retail banking application may be higher risk.
High level requirements are defined and throw-away executable prototypes demonstrating any critical architectural risks are demonstrated. Identify requirements that are critical from a business perspective and that if built will demonstrate the removal of the main technical risks. Refine only these requirements ready for building should you proceed with the project in to Elaboration. This will give all parties some guidance on the amount of risk being taken in to Elaboration. Since the scope of what's being built is unclear this ideally would be time and materials contract.
Refinement of the requirements to the point where you and your delivery partners can agree an acceptable price and schedule range for the build of the base requirements and what the extended content is. In parallel build the requirements that are critical and also kill the technical risks identified. You don't leave Elaboration until you've built executables that demonstrate through testing the removal of all identified technical risks. You're
The remainder of the requirements are further refined if required, designed and built in iterations. The grouping of requirements in to iterations should now be done based on business priority, having addressed the technical risk. Each iteration should be delivered as executable code that can be tested along with the relevant documentation. You should be aiming for as short an iteration length as possible but monthly iterations would be a good start. They should certainly be no longer than 3 months and you should push these to be shorter as soon as possible. Iterations are a huge risk mitigation tool. You get to deploy the software regularly into a test environment close to your operational environment. It has to be a good thing. You're only paying for working code, potentially per iteration and better still should commercially you need to deliver something to market early you can as you have production quality code at the end of each iteration. Other industries have worked this way for years.
This phase is about getting the software live and in to the hands of the business. It should be similar though hopefully with less issues. The iterations may be used to timebox the deployment of the application in to different business units, geographies or the deployment of tha application by functional area and any mixture of the above.
Let's not forget that the ideal end game not to "do" agile but to reduce the time to value of producing the right software and building it with an appropriate total cost of ownership profile. We should be striving to remove as much of the overhead created by complex contracts and unnecessary work. To do that we need to build trust both internally and between us and with our delivery partners.

Public Speaking for Non-Native Speakers A Workshop with Dr. Branca Telles Ribeiro and Julius Adrian R. Alip Moderated by Mihir Mankad 6-7:30PM Wednesday, March 5, 2014 Cason Room, Taubman 102 Harvard Kennedy School This workshop aims specifically to explore concerns non-native speakers have when addressing a native-speaking audience, and identify concrete skills speakers can employ in the short-term to overcome these barriers. We will discuss cognitive biases that audiences hold, and how these impact our ability to best deliver our message. We'll also discuss how to balance being genuine and true to our own identities on stage with an understanding of audience perceptions. Our aim throughout is for these workshops to focus on concrete strategies for dealing with biases rather than on the root causes of those biases.

The corners in my photo are from the screen shot... the actual card has rounded corners... very cool card and all that received it praised it!"
"My husband and I had a hard time picking the right card. Once we saw this one uploaded with our daughter's picture we knew it was the one. The arrow has a lot of meaning for us and it is something that no one knows about but us. This was the perfect way to present our daughter to our friends and family."
"I ordered a few samples of birth announcements and this one was by far my favorite. I love the subtle pattern at the top of the card and the fact that there is a large space for my daughter's picture. I can't wait to get my order!"
"I love the simple and modern lettering on this card. It was the perfect design to showcase my son's picture. I also love that it is gray and not your typical blue birth announcement. We use tiny prints for everything and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend them!"

Onassis: High Fashion You Can Afford
Onassis: High Fashion You Can Afford
Here at PROJECT NY we got the chance to speak to one of the brands that is on the forefront of men's fashion, Onassis. The company is comprised of a small team that is committed to excellence, which is why they only release 12-33 units of each item and then start creating more greatness. Comfort is their top priority but don't worry, they have boutique quality while maintaining reasonable prices. This fall they will be releasing denim in three fits: a relaxed straight-leg, a skinny, and a slim, and the options don't stop there as they will feature at least three washes per fit. The team also let us in on a new "wave dye" they have for vests, chinos, and 5 pocket jeans and take note, it is a definite must-have. The best part is that we didn't just love their denim—everything they had to show us from bags to outerwear to knits blew us away (and had us wishing they had a woman's line!). Onassis may be new to the fashion world, but after seeing not even half of their collection at the show today, we know they'll be around for quite some time. Check out the photos and see for yourself:
Can't get enough? Stop by their store at 71 Greene St. or shop online.

This body wash is so calming and beautiful. I can still smell this in my shower 30 minutes after I have taken my shower. I truly have loved this fragrance for many years and still go back to this time and time again. You cannot go wrong with lavender and especially this lavender. Thymes has created a quality lavender, some are not. This just engulfs you with fragrance when you take a shower or bath. Absolutely beautiful.

Delightful Scen t
This is the third bottle of Lavender Body Wash I have ordered from Thymes........I just ove it. It lathers quite abit, only a small amount if necessary,and the fragrance is delightful!
Skip this one
I have loved all the scents from Thymes which I have ordered....until I received this one. This smells nothing like the traditional "lavender" that I was hoping for. It's a very strong, almost masculine scent. Very heavy perfume feeling. I will not buy this fragrance in any form again. I will stick with the Temple Tree Jasmine....my favorite!

Fluval Chi for low tech non co2 set up
I might be able to grab this for a reasonable price, but I am not sure if this is the right set up for a low tech non co2 planted tank.
If I pay $30 for it, and add in a proper filter and buy an apporiate light, can I make this work? Or is it better to buy the standard 5-10 gallon starter kit and update as needed.
Yikes, there are so many options!
I have one and got rid of the main piece that made the chi a chi. I added a fluval 13watt cfl. And a hob filter, no co2 low ferts and it was good. Shut it down when I bought a spec v. For 30 dollars u can't lose, but ur really only buying a 5 gallon tank for 30 bucks, since the main console light filter is kind of useless for plants.
I thought the same and decided not to take it. Do you think just a regular starter kit with fluorescent lights would be a good option? Petsmart is selling 10 g top fin kit for 39 bucks. I am also considering the fluval edge which looks so amazing planted. Geeze I can't make up my mind!
if you want a 10 gallon, buy only the tank, think about what you want to do with it, and go from there. im no expert but i have bought many kits and end up replacing everything. a 10 gallon is about 10 bucks and gives you so much more space and options when it comes to fish and plants. a dome reflector and cfl will light it with as much light as youd like with different cfl wattage choices. itll take you longer to piece everything together but youll end up getting exactly what you want and need for YOUR plans. good luck.

Civil Rights in Education
In May 2000, the Attorney General entered into a written settlement agreement with a school district in Northern California that will require the district to make significant changes to its policies and procedures that govern student discipline. The settlement followed an investigation into allegations that a high school within the district had discriminated against a gifted African American student-athlete when it prohibited him from participating on the high school's football team during his senior year. The investigation concluded that the district may have discriminated against the student because of his race, and that the student's due process rights and his right to privacy had been violated by the high school during the course of the disciplinary process.
In Grutter v. University of Michigan and Gratz v. University of Michigan, the California Attorney General joined 20 other state attorneys general in an amicus brief that urged the United States Supreme Court to hold that the goal of achieving a diverse student body is a compelling state interest that justifies consideration of the race of applicants as one of many factors in determining university admissions. The brief further urged the court to uphold the constitutionality of the University of Michigan's affirmative action policies used for its undergraduate and law school programs. On June 23, 2003, the Court held that achieving a diverse student body is a compelling state interest that justifies the use of race as one of many factors in university admissions policies. The Court upheld the constitutionality of the University of Michigan's law school admissions policy, but found that the undergraduate admissions policy's consideration of race was not sufficiently narrowly drawn. As such, that policy was held to violate the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution.

Virginia seen as a top prize by presidential campaigns
WASHINGTON – Virginia, until recently a reliable supporter of Republican presidential candidates, has become a vitally important swing state that may hold the key to this year's presidential elections.
That's why President Obama, GOP challenger Mitt Romney and independent groups allied with both candidates have spent more on ads in Virginia than in any other state except Ohio, campaign figures show.
"The fact that both camps are advertising for the general election in early June shows that both camps are taking this (state) seriously," said Roanoke College political scientist Harry Wilson.
INTERACTIVE: Political Ad Tracker
That's far different from a few election cycles ago, when Republicans could afford to take Virginia's support for granted and Democrats wrote off the state as unwinnable.
Neither candidate will neglect Virginia this year, when its 13 electoral votes are up for grabs.
Estimated ad expenditures by both sides in Virginia totaled $4.3 million between April 10 — when former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania exited the race and Romney became the presumptive GOP nominee — and May 29, according to ad data analyzed by Elizabeth Wilner of Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group.
By Jae C. Hong, AP
Mitt Romney is joined by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell during a campaign stop in Portsmouth, Va., on May 3.
By Election Day, Virginians will have seen and heard so many campaign ads, "everybody is going to be glad that it's over," Wilson said. "Everybody is going to be sick of the ads."
Ohio, with 18 electoral votes, was the only other swing state that saw higher ad expenditures — $8.4 million, according to data compiled by Kantar Media and published by National Journal magazine.
In Virginia, independent groups aligned with Romney are outspending those supporting Obama, Wilner said in an email. Obama is raising more money than Romney from Virginia donors, though that may change as the election nears.
Federal records show Obama had raised nearly $4.2 million in Virginia as of April 30. Romney had raised nearly $3.4 million.
In 2008, Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate since 1964 to win Virginia. Last month, he kicked off his re-election campaign with appearances at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and Ohio.
Obama can expect to fare better in Virginia than in swing states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to James Madison University political scientist Bob Roberts. That's because the state has fewer blue-collar white voters, a higher proportion of voters between 18 and 30, and many more upper-income suburban voters, he said.
"The demographic profile fits him better in Virginia," he said.
Virginia has permanently changed its political color from Republican "red" to swing-state "purple" because of demographic changes, analysts say.
University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato ticked off the changes — rising numbers of minorities, the decline of the white population since the 1980s and the growth of affluent and politically moderate Northern Virginia.
"These are permanent changes," Sabato said. "They aren't going to reverse. Therefore, demographically the state is still ripe for a Democratic candidate to win whenever Democrats are competitive nationally."
Romney may have tougher going in Virginia this year than in other swing states because of those demographic changes, analysts said.
Federal workers in Northern Virginia may be turned off by his plans to shrink government and independents may be put off by his association with state Republicans, who pushed abortion rights and other socially divisive issues in the last legislative session, Roberts said.
Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania are among a handful of states expected to decide the 2012 election. Other swing states are Florida (29 electoral votes), New Mexico (five electoral votes), Nevada (six electoral votes), Colorado (nine electoral votes), North Carolina (15 electoral votes) and Wisconsin (10 electoral votes).
Three of the states — Florida, North Carolina and Virginia — were part of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The other eight states that belonged to the Confederacy — Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas — are all "red" states expected to support Romney this year.

Mikel Arteta has hailed the influence of Arsène Wenger in helping the team to maintain their belief after a difficult run of results.
Arsenal were beaten by Norwich and then Schalke last week, before returning to winning ways against QPR on Saturday.
Arteta scored the decisive goal at Emirates Stadium, and afterwards praised his manager for helping the players during a challenging time.
"The boss was brilliant because he was very positive about the way we have to play and the belief we have to have," the midfielder told Arsenal Player.
"It is good that in the bad moments he keeps believing in us and gives us confidence, so we kept playing as we always do and got rewarded.
"We knew we would have to play really well to beat QPR, and we created the chances but left it until the last few minutes [to score]!"
Arteta also praised Bacary Sagna and Jack Wilshere, who returned to the starting line-up after lengthy spells on the sidelines with injury.
"They both made a big difference," he said. "Bac was brilliant going forward and in his defending, and Jack showed what he can do for the team. I am really pleased that we are starting to get some players back."
Watch the full interview with Mikel on Arsenal Player now.
