Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jun 24, 2010.
I know. Minnesota was a big hurdle.
Wes brings the style!
Linwood, get in the draft chatroom! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
#5 DeMarcus Cousins to Sacramento Kings
Well, Cousins had too much body fat anyways.
#6 Ekpedeme Friday Udoh to Golden State Warriors
Blazers organization is in chaos.
#7 Greg Monroe to Detroit Pistons
God bless those Warriors!
Udoh > Monroe? Huh, I thought Udoh was a lock for Detroit.
QFT Ryder. Welcome to Detroit Greg Monroe.
According to a report from Yahoo, even though the Pistons have selected Monore, the team has not given up trying to deal for DeMarcus Cousins.
The Detroit Pistons 2010 NBA Draft Party has been a blast so far! I liked how Joe Dumars accidentally swore when he went to sit down at the podium. Be sure to tune in!
I closed down the chat, everyone was pretty much done after Dumars drafted another SG.
Thanks Scoe, I have some things I want to post about the draft when I have some more time. I stayed at work today until the Pistons pick then I had to run, so sorry about not having more draft updates.
You did a great job CJ and I appreciate all the contributions you make around here.
You're just trying to make nice with the Tibetan, aren't you? I know how it is. I find myself intimidated by my avatar from time to time as well. You are a good person.
Sacramento would have problems if Cousins and Whiteside start fighting.. I mean.. Both, Cousins and Whiteside, were accused of being inmature and have bad temper (Sheed-like).. How this two are going to battle for the Possition ?? I hope this doesn't end in a 'Gilbert Arenas - Javaris Crittenton' confrontation..
Jon Barry said the Pistons pick of Monroe was one of the top 2 picks in the draft. Barry said that Monroe is the most NBA-ready of any of the big men in the draft.
I like him overall. My only two problems with him are sort of irrelevant, because he would have been the #1 pick if he didn't have those and we wouldn't get him anyway.

Black Friday comes early
Black Friday seems to come earlier every year. Last year, stores started opening their doors for the "official" beginning of the holiday shopping season at midnight, instead of 5 or 6 a.m., on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year, stores such as Sears, Kmart, and Walmart are opening their doors at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Next year, who knows – stores may open even earlier.
Luckily for you intrepid shoppers, it's not just about waiting outside a Kmart in line at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day to nab one of six or seven $88 24-inch 1080p HDTVs the store has in stock. Instead, you can shop even earlier – in the weeks before Black Friday even comes on the scene. Plenty of retailers are offering "early bird" Black Friday deals that you can grab right now. Here are 10 of the best early Black Friday deals we found on the web.
[5 highlights from Best Buy's upcoming Black Friday sale and Top technology predictions for 2013, part one]

I don't really buy the Pat Willis comparisons, but the guy is very good and likely will be a top 15ish pick. I read that he lost 15 or so pounds so that definitely helped him this year.
I was pretty pissed that he stayed in school as I thought if he came out, we'd have had a shot at him or Hightower this past draft.
But honestly, I never understood why the Patriots drafted him. Hightower is an ILB. A big ILB. New England already has good starting ILB's in Mayo and Spikes so I don't know where they were going with that...if they wanted another ILB that was really good against the pass, Hightower is just average there. It was a weird pick IMHO.
My mid-season mock up (V1), rounds 1 and 2.
*I don't account for trades, but I do indicate where I think a trade could happen.
*Unlike Emory Hunt and others, I do base my picks off of BPA versus need and I try to take into account a team's history when picking.
*Draft positions are based on current record and where I think is a probable place for the team to wind up at the end of the season.
* Picks are also based on where I have collegiate players graded out. Obviously, this will evolve as the season(s) go on as well.
* Obviously things will change, this is just for discussion purposes.
Round 1:
1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Matt Barkley, QB, USC (6'2" 230lbs). It is still kind of up in the air as to whether or not Blaine Gabbert will ever develop into a solid starting QB. Considering he was a holdover from the previous owner and coaching staff, I'm not so sure the Jags have a lot of loyalty towards him. Matt Barkley is arguably the top rated QB this year and has all of the qualities that a team can build a franchise around. If Jacksonville wants to put seats in their stadium, they have to find a way to win games and build a team capable of getting them back into the playoffs.
2. Kansas City Chiefs – Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia (6'3" 215lbs). Similar to RGIII in last year's draft, Geno Smith brings a tremendous amount of skills to the table as a quarterback. He has an excellent arm, is decisive, and can make things happen with his feet once the play starts to break down. Kansas City needs a quarterback probably more than any other team in the NFL right now because they have a solid defense and a stellar running game.
3. Cleveland Browns – David Amerson, CB, NC State (6'3" 195lbs). I don't really care what anyone says, Amerson is still one of the top 10 players in this draft. It is rare that a guy his size has the speed and ability to turn and run with any receiver. He plays zone well, but he is at his best in press coverage where he can use his 6'3" frame to disrupt receivers at the line of scrimmage. He also brings a nice set of ball skills to the table, which Cleveland desperately needs. I think because Cleveland doesn't pick again until later in the draft they will try to get the most bang for their buck and Amerson is someone who could step in and instantly upgrade their secondary.
4. Oakland Raiders – Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah (6'4" 330lbs). The Raiders need a lot, but I think this pick is really going to depend on whether or not they think that Carson Palmer can win there and whether or not they think they have something with Terrelle Pryor. That said, the Raiders' defense has been pretty disappointing this year and they really could use an upgrade at DT. Lotulelei is a monster against the run and for a guy his size gets off the ball quickly and uses his leverage to push the pocket around. I don't necessarily think he is a TOP need for the Raiders, but he is easily one of the top 5 players available in this draft and I'm sure Oakland will find a way to use him in their defensive front 7.
5. Carolina Panthers – Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia (6'2" 240lbs). Jones is an absolutely incredible athlete. He rushes the passer well, he plays the run well, and he can drop into coverage. He can line up at end, inside linebacker, and outside linebacker. There is also reason to believe that he can function in both a 4-3 and a 3-4 alignment. Many folks are comparing him to Von Miller, who has exceeded many expectations as a 4-3 outside linebacker. The Panthers defense needs a major overhaul, so they might as well take one of the top defensive players available.
6. Buffalo Bills – Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M (6'6" 315lbs). This is kind of a weak class for offensive tackles, but Joeckel is currently the top rated guy at the position. Buffalo really needs to consider picking up another QB, but none of that matters unless they can protect whoever that may be. Cordy Glenn did ok, but in reality he is probably better suited as a RT or guard, and Chris Hairston really should be a back up. Joeckel needs some fine-tuning, but the talent and upside is there.
7. Indianapolis Colts – Sam Montgomery, DE, LSU (6'4" 260lbs). The Colts exceeded a lot of people's expectations defensively. Chuck Pagano took a lot of 4-3 components and turned them into a 3-4 and it has been decent, but the reality is that both Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney are old, overpaid, and don't fit well in a 3-4. Sam Montgomery is one of the highest rated 3-4 OLB prospects in this draft after Jarvis Jones and compares heavily to guys like Aldon Smith and Terrell Suggs in that he is just an all-around good defensive player. He sets the edge well, he plays the run well, he collapses the pocket, and he has a nice burst of speed that allows him to close on the QB or ball carrier.
8. Tennessee Titans – DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama (6' 190lbs). The Titans have a lot of young components, so it is kind of hard to really guage where they may go, but cornerback kind of makes sense for them since they lost Cortland Finnegan to free agency and haven't really found a solid answer for that loss since. Jason McCourty is a decent corner and Alteraun Verner isn't bad, but they need a guy who can line up on the outside and push Verner down to the slot, which is where he belongs. Milliner has been a solid corner this season for Alabama and has done well against a lot of top tiered receivers in the SEC.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jonathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State (6'4" 320lbs). Tampa Bay has been trying to figure out their defensive line for a few years now and they have spent a lot of decent draft picks on the position without much luck. Gerald McCoy is decent, but not the player they thought they were getting with such a high draft pick. Hankins is a standout pass rusher for the Buckeyes and just makes plays all over the field. Tampa could look at the offensive line, linebacker, or possibly even corner, but Hankins is higher rated than any of those guys would be right now and Tampa could certainly look to bolster their defensive front.
10. St. Louis Rams – Keenan Allen, WR, California (6'2" 210lbs). The Rams were looking at picking Justin Blackmon last year, so there is certainly an interest from them in drafting some young talent at receiver. Allen is arguably the top rated receiver in this draft class and could easily provide the Rams with a more consistent starting receiver. Allen is very underrated, so I could see his stock falling a little due to being on a team with poor QB play, but he runs nice routes and has deceptive speed.
11. New York Jets – Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU (6'5" 245lbs). This pick will ultimately depend on whether or not Rex Ryan is fired after this season. If he is fired, they may look at someone like Tyler Bray or Tyler Wilson to replace Mark Sanchez, who has been nothing short of disappointing. If Rex is kept around, I think he will try to get someone who can fit into his 3-4 defense. They thought that maybe Aaron Maybin would be that pass rushing catalyst, but he only seemed to be interested in getting a contract extension. He hasn't been very good this year. Mingo is a long and lean speed pass rusher with an outstanding burst off of the line. He can really get around offensive tackles quickly and close on QB's.
12. Cincinnati Bengals – Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State (6'4" 260lbs). Werner has been an absolute terror for offensive lines this season. Last year many felt that he may move up into the bottom of the 2nd round, but with his play this year he has easily played himself into the first round and in my opinion he could easily be worth a top 15 pick. He is strong against the run, he uses leverage well and he has excellent footwork. He has one of the best rip moves I have seen in a defensive end in a long time. The Bengals have some talent at defensive end, but it is inconsistent and I could definitely see them looking at DL prospects this off-season.
13. St. Louis Rams (From Washington) – Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M (6'5" 305lbs). The Rams traded Jason Smith to the Jets for Wayne Hunter, who has never been more than a depth swing tackle. The Rams definitely need to upgrade their offensive line if they want to get their offense going. Steven Jackson can still get it done, but he needs lanes to run through and right now they just aren't doing it. Not only does Jake Matthews have a great bloodline, but he is also extremely athletic and has a nasty streak that you really like seeing in offensive lineman. He has predominately played RT in college, but many think that he is athletic enough to transition over to LT much like Tyron Smith did in Dallas.
14. New Orleans Saints – Barrett Jones, OT/G/C, Alabama (6'5" 310lbs). New Orleans has had a really rough year and their bread and butter offense noticeably missed Carl Nicks on the offensive line. They signed Ben Grubbs, who has been ok for them, but they really need help at offensive tackle and center. I think the Saints could also look at a defensive tackle here, but Barrett Jones just has move value in the top 20 and his flexibility has to be something that Sean Payton would really value.
15. Arizona Cardinals – Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas (6'3" 225lbs). John Skelton has glimpses of being a decent player and Kevin Kolb has shown glimpses, but neither have really taken the reigns and been that starting caliber QB that the Cardinals haven't had since Kurt Warner. The Cards definitely need to address their offensive line, but I think those issues have largely been in part to injuries, so taking Wilson here isn't a bad idea. He has a solid arm with good accuracy and he is a lot more athletic than most think. He has had some durability issues, but when healthy he is a good player with nice upside.
16. Philadelphia Eagles – Jonathan Banks, CB, Mississippi State (6'1" 192lbs). Banks has been one of the most impressive defensive players in the country and is without a doubt worthy of a top 20 pick. He plays press coverage extremely well and has the natural talent to be the best cornerback taken in this draft. The Eagles landed a gem with Brandon Boykins, but they have some major decisions to make regarding Nnamdi and DRC. Both are expensive, Nnamdi has been a disappointment, and DRC is a free agent. If Andy Reid is still the coach, then I think they'll let DRC hit free agency and draft a guy to replace him.
17. Dallas Cowboys – Manti T'eo, ILB, Notre Dame (6'2" 250lbs). Dallas already has a good defense, but getting a guy like T'eo could turn them into a great defense. T'eo has a ton of experience in a 3-4 alignment and would be an ideal fit for Rob Ryan's defense. He has really improved his ability to cover receivers and tight ends and he is a force against the run. Dallas could also be looking for a guy like Jon Jenkins, but T'eo is way too good to pass up on right here.
18. San Diego Chargers – Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee (6'4" 205lbs). The Chargers need a lot on both sides of the ball. Frankly, I think their biggest issue revolves around Norv Turner. The guy is a hell of an offensive coordinator, but he has never done well as a head coach. They invested money into Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem and neither of those guys has panned out at all. Malcom Floyd is an above average possession guy with a lot of height, but he has some major durability issues. They really need to get someone for Phillip Rivers to throw to. Justin Hunter has outstanding speed and leaping ability to go along with an impressively long frame. He can get vertical and he is a big target in the red zone. He needs some refinement as a route runner, but he could impact San Diego's offense immediately.
19. Miami Dolphins – Tyler Eiffert, TE, Notre Dame (6'6" 255lbs). Ryan Tannehill has improved almost every week and many thought it would be a couple of years before he could really compete at the NFL level. Playing in a familiar offense has really helped him out a lot; so getting him some better targets should be a top priority for Miami this off-season. Eiffert is a natural receiver with deceptive speed and his frame makes him a mismatch for almost any defender on the field. His game is very similar to Rob Gronkowski's.
20. Detroit Lions – Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State (6'2" 210lbs). Detroit's secondary may be one of the worst in the NFL. Outside of Louis Delmas, who can't stay healthy, they all stink. Teams have been picking on their cornerbacks all season long. I think Detroit is going to try and look at receivers and offensive lineman as well, but I don't see how they can pass on a cornerback like Rhodes here. He is a little stiff in the hips, but he has nice speed to go along with a 6'2" frame. I think he'd be an ideal player in Detroit's system and could benefit from playing behind a defensive front 4 that can get to the QB as well as they can.
21. Seattle Seahawks – Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech (6'3" 209lbs). Pete Carroll has never been one to shy away from guys with a questionable history. He has also never been one to sit on a player who might not carry as much value as the pick would suggest (see Bruce Irvin), but you can't fault the guy because he identifies whom he wants and takes them. Rogers was the Tennessee Vol's #1 receiver before being kicked out of their program. He probably would have been a top 15 pick easily before that happened, but if he can keep his nose clean off the field then there is no reason why he can't produce at the NFL level. He is that good of a player. The Seahawks desperately need a receiver because Sidney Rice is always hurt and Doug Baldwin is someone who should be playing out of the slot.

On spinning and magic
Why do I spin? The question comes often enough from non-crafty people—which probably includes most people out there--who don't really even understand that there's a difference between spinning and weaving, and who just can't see the point of knitting a sweater or scarf (much less spinning the yarn in order to knit one) when you can buy one a lot cheaper at Walmart or the local mall. But I'm sure there are also a lot of spiritual types out there who read my blog and wonder why I—a spirit worker, and married to Odin for crying out loud—spend so much of my time spinning and prepping wool for spinning.
Not that I am equating myself with Her, but the question sort of begs me to invoke Frigga's name. Because, after all, She is married to Odin, and She spins—and actually, it was partly Her influence that prompted my obsession with the fiber arts in the first place. So, why does She do it? The reason She is so closely associated with spinning (and the Norns and Valkyries with weaving) has to be partly a mundane and culturally influenced one: in the past, as the majority of Walmart shoppers probably don't realize, spinning was not just an odd pastime for middle aged women, it was a necessity of life. There were no stores in which to buy clothing, but there were sheep, and flax, and nettles, and other sources of fiber, and one day people discovered that this fiber could to be twisted to form a strong thread that could then be woven into cloth to make garments and other useful items. (Knitting came much, much later.) But you needed a lot of thread to weave enough cloth for even a single garment, so spinners spent virtually every spare moment of their lives spinning, and because spinning is something that can be easily set down in order to tend a baby, and is not a dangerous activity to practice around children, spinning (and to a lesser extent, weaving) naturally fell into the domain of women.
In Northern Europe, where people needed a lot of clothing for survival (in addition to cloth for sails to power those Viking ships), spinning was especially important. Since I know the amount of time it takes to produce even one skein of fairly bulky yarn, it is a bit staggering for me to think of the time and work it must have taken to spin enough thread to weave an apron dress, much less a sail, and weaving eats up thread at an astounding rate; it used to take four spinners to keep just one weaver producing cloth. With this in mind, it may be easier even for non-spinners and non-crafty people to appreciate the immense importance of the fiber arts in the ancient world. In the dark ages and in early medieval Europe, queens were not merely ornaments, personified peace treaties, and producers of children for their royal husbands (although they were those things too); they were working women whose job it was to organize and oversee the king's household, including the king's clothing and linens. As such, they devoted a great deal of their time to the production of cloth, so it is natural that Frigga—as Queen of Asgard—came to be seen as both a spinner herself and the head of a cottage industry for spinning (Fensalir).
But alongside its mundane importance in daily life, spinning came to have a spiritual meaning as well in Northern Europe (as well as in many other ancient cultures). Especially from the viewpoint of non-spinners, there is something almost magical about the ability to start with a material as raw as dirty, greasy fleece, or prickly nettles, or flax (which resembles, in its raw state, a pile of dirty straw) and transform it into a fine woolen cloak, or a tightly woven sail, or a colorful fringed belt. Because this work was primarily done by women, the ability to work this transformation was attributed to the special mystique of women—a mystical power to create that was also manifested in their ability to grow new people inside their bodies.
But the magic of spinning goes beyond this. In the Northern tradition, spinning is also a working metaphor for Wyrd, and those spirit workers who have invested the time it takes to learn the craft (there is a rather large learning curve for mastering it, but almost anyone can learn to spin some sort of yarn with a little practice) have come to appreciate it as a tool for wyrd working, not just for seeing into wyrd (although it can help you do that; see below) but also for manipulating it. How does that work? Like many spirit work skills, it is easier to learn by doing it than by reading someone else's description. But basically, because of the repetitive nature of the work (which consists largely of a series of motions that are repeated over and over and over again—for hours, generally--until the yarn is finished), spinning is also hugely meditative and trance-inducing, which opens up the potential for the spinner to be doing other things, on a spiritual level, while her hands are working. This practice is hinted at in Laxdaela Saga (which I know I've quoted in this blog before); when her husband returns from having slain their mutual enemy, Gundrun remarks: "Harm spurs on to hard deeds. I have spun enough yarn for twelve ells of homespun, and you have slain Kjartan." There is an implied connection between the two acts, the suggestion that Gudrun's spinning aided her husband in his mission. There is also, throughout the tradition, reference to the ability of women to "spin the battle from afar;" this saying is often taken to be metaphorical, referring to women working magic in support of their families while the men took on the more direct tasks. However, those who practice both spinning and wyrd working know that it is also very literal, that the one is a tool and a vehicle for the other. Consider that, even in addition to this, the spinner has the opportunity to inject more than just her artistic skill into the finished item (she can, for example, spin protection into a cloak her husband will wear when he goes off to battle, or—for a modern example--confidence into a sweater for her son's first day of school) and you can see that spinning was a powerful weapon in the arsenal of the Norse woman who "knew a thing or two." And so it remains today.
The other day, I discovered (and linked to on my Facebook page) a wonderful collection of images and quotes dealing with spinning and magic, collected by the fantasy writer, artist and editor Terri Windling, that I'd like to share. And later that evening, I was given the following:
"To practice seidhr, you need to be able to follow a thread—the thread that is a path through the worlds, winding ever-upward and then back down again along the Tree, spiraling like the double helix of DNA. You have to be able to navigate the narrow, twisting, perilous pathways that run from Midgard to Asgard to Hel and through all the worlds, the thread that binds the worlds together like a string of beads. But more than this, you also have to be able to spin a thread, to hold the path firmly—yet not too firmly, still allowing it to run through your fingers, as it is always in motion. You have to be able to maintain control of it, allowing it neither to break, nor to diverge into snarled dead ends and knotted masses of meaninglessness. A spinner takes raw materials and converts them to a useable supply (yarn or thread) through her skill. A seidhrkona is both a spinner and a storyteller (who also"spins a yarn,"); like picking wool from a hedge, she gathers data from the other worlds—snatches of vision, and the fleeting words of the gods and spirits—and allows them to run through her fingertips as they twist in the currents of wyrd, coalescing them from formlessness into something that can be communicated and used: a beckoning and a message, a thread of meaning and connection from There to Here."

I've always been captivating by spinning, and I was thrilled when my wife finally found someone to put the spinning wheel she'd inherited into good working order. We now know that she is probably the first person to ever even use it, as it had no wear in the expected places; it was likely a wedding gift to her aunt by an even older aunt, who herself grew up in a time when spinning was a vital skill.
I'm glad that the skill is not entirely lost, and that wise women like you are preserving its spiritual aspects, as well.· Beth Wodandis likes this comment.

I have been diagnosed (at sixty-five!) with the entity formerly know as Asperger's Syndrome. One characteristic of this is "stimming", making small repetitive motions-- as in spinning. I think that, like many variations of mental functioning. the urge to "stim" was of great practical usefulness, rather than an "error". My first mentor said to me, "If you want to be good at spinning, you have to start by being bad at it." A good nine months of spinning before I produced anything that I felt would be suitable to show others. And still a long way to go. Well, I won't run out of challenges in my next 15 years or so.· Julia Glassman likes this comment.

Hello all.
I have just received my FP v3 armour back from Mojo Fett who has done an amaizing paint job for me. Now the question is how to attach it to my BM vest?
I like BM's bolt method, but I am unsure if this is the best way to go with vac-formed armour. Can anyone let me know what is the best way to go?
Also, how is the back plate attatched?
Any and all advice is welcome here so don't be shy
Thanks guys and I will get some photos up sometime soon so you can see what a great job he has done painting it up for me.
Thanks again Mojo!

The Canadiens left for New Jersey on Monday after practice, hoping to end their late season slump.
It's a pivotal week for the Habs, who have struggled defensively and in goal since clinching a playoff spot. They play the Devils Tuesday night (7 p.m., TSN-HABS, RDS, TSN Radio 690), the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday and end the regular season in Toronto on Saturday against the Maple Leafs.
"I think the trip comes at a good time for us …where we've just had two good practices," coach Michel Therrien said.
The players had a good attitude during them and the coaching staff did a lot of teaching, Therrien said, adding it's important that they play the solid hockey they're able to play.
"We've got to get back to our good habits."
The Canadiens practised at the Bell Centre, where they also had their team photo taken. Colby Armstrong, who has been out with a knee injury, practised on a line with Jeff Halpern and Brandon Prust. When asked about Travis Moen's status for Tuesday's game, Therrien said he would reveal his lineup on Tuesday.
"I'm good to go," Armstrong said after practice. "Hopefully I'm in. I feel good in practice.
"I think one thing we've noticed is offensively and defensively we haven't been supporting each other as well and opening ourselves (up) to be taken advantage of – you see we're giving up five, six goals a game every once and awhile here down the stretch. So not what we're supposed to do by any means. We're supposed to be a stingy tough team to play against."
The Canadiens plan to call up some players from the Hamilton Bulldogs, who finished their AHL season on Sunday, Therrien said. The Habs will provide more details later Monday.
The lines at practice were: Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta; Pacioretty-Desharnais-Gallagher; Galchenyuk-Eller-Ryder; Prust-Halpern-Armstrong; Moen-Dumont-Blunden; White.
Defence pairings were: Weber-Markov; Bouillon-Subban; Diaz-Gorges; Drewiske-Kaberle.

You can now view the A/W lookbook on the Reiss website. With 58 looks for the mainline collection and 19 for the 1971 collection there are plenty to choose from. The mainline collection is really nice this season, keeping the brand's signature slim tailoring that gives the brand a sophistication rarely seen from a none designer brand. I'm not too much of a fan of the 1971 collection. Certain pieces are beautiful like the sheepskin leather below, but as a collection, it doesn't have the identity of the mainline collection and there are certainly other brands of the same nature that execute the look of the 1971 collection a lot better.

Seeing as I'm currently waiting for parts to arrive, and for the funds to get even more parts, I decided that it would be a waste of precious time to sit and not work on something for my Jango costume. So with WizardofFlights templates and some cardboard and copious amounts of glue in hand, I sat down and started the first parts of my jet pack... the rocket.
Everything went together fairly well, so well in fact that I actually had to stop myself so that I could snap a few pictures of my progress thus far. :p
I still have to do some light bondo work with the spot and glazing putty, so the fins haven't been added or even constructed yet.
Here's the rocket as of this evening...
A closer look at the top of the rocket. This is the part that really needs all of the bondo attention. I really want to get rid of those ridges so it'll look smooth as a babys bottom. ;)
Before I began the construction, I figured that it would be best to make the rocket removable for storage purposes. I didn't want it to twist or flop around, nor did I want it to be near impossible to remove with out the aid of power tools. :facepalm I finally got the inspiration that I needed... I used the threaded neck and top from a Simply Orange juice bottle. Now all it takes is a quarter turn twist to lock it in place. :thumbsup
I'm going to start on the main body of the jet pack this weekend. I can't hardly wait. :thumbsup:jet pack

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 196, May 26, 2000
ARSC: PGHPF 3.0 To Be Made DefaultVersion 3.0 of the Portland Group's High Performance Fortran will be made the default pghpf compiler on yukon during system downtime on May 31, 2000.
The currently installed version is 2.4, and it will remain available using a "module switch" command.
What Is This Machine! (Consult The Predefined Macros)In the last Quick-Tip, we suggested that when programmers replace MPI_Bcast calls with SHMEM_BROADCAST , they do so using preprocessor code so that the program will still compile correctly on non-CRAY systems (possessing only the MPI library).
A nifty approach is to use the predefined macro, _CRAYMPP . Check to see if it's defined. If it is, then you can assume SHMEM is present. Here's the basic idea:
C: == #ifdef _CRAYMPP err = SHMEM_BROADCAST (....) #else err = MPI_Bcast (....) #endif
(Compile the C program as usual.)
Fortran: ======== #ifdef _CRAYMPP CALL SHMEM_BROADCAST (....) #else CALL MPI_Bcast (....) #endif
(You may need to include f90's "-F" option when you compile. "-F" causes f90 to expands all macros, even if they're tucked into bona fide Fortran--as opposed to preprocessor directives. See man f90 for more info.)
In addition to _CRAYMPP , there are a bunch of other predefined macros available to your code. The C macros are documented in:
Cray C/C++ Reference Manual, 004-2179-003
Chapter 6. Predefined Macros
The Fortran macros are listed in:
CF90 Commands and Directives Reference Manual, 004-3901-003
Chapter 5. Source Preprocessing
5.3 Predefined Macros
Both manuals are in Cray's on-line documents, available at:
http://www.arsc.edu:40/dynaweb/Many of the predefined macros are familiar, in particular those described in the following section of the C/C++ manual:
6.1 Macros Required by the C and C++ Standards Macro Description __TIME__ Time of translation of the source file. __DATE__ Date of translation of the source file. __LINE__ Line number of the current line in your source file. __FILE__ Name of the source file being compiled. __STDC__ Defined as the decimal constant 1 if compilation is in strict conformance mode; defined as the decimal constant 2 if the compilation is in extended mode. This macro is defined for C and C++ compilations. __cplusplus Defined as 1 when compiling C++ code and undefined when compiling C code. The __cplusplus macro is required by the ISO C++ draft standard, but not the ISO C standard.For a quick look at all of the documented macros, I wrote C and Fortran programs which test them and print their values if defined.
C snippet:
#ifdef __TIME__ printf ("__TIME__: %s\n", __TIME__); #else printf ("__TIME__\n"); #endif
Fortran snippet:
#ifdef unix print*, "unix: ", unix #else print*, "unix" #endif
Here's the output from both programs:
C predefined macros: Output from run on ARSC T3E:

European SGI/Cray MPP Workshop[ We received this announcement: ]
The Sixth European SGI/Cray MPP Workshop will be held in Manchester, UK, on the 7th and 8th of September, 2000. The workshop is organised by the Manchester Research Centre for Computational Science (MRCCS), a focus for high performance computing activities at the University of Manchester, and is generously supported by Silicon Graphics Inc. and Cray Inc.
Please note that there is NO REGISTRATION FEE for this workshop.
This workshop is aimed at computer scientists, computer engineers and end users, working mainly on CRAY T3E and large SGI Origin 2000 systems installed throughout Europe. Of particular interest are the areas of application development and optimisation, software support and production usage, as well as the future of MPP computer systems. There will be keynote presentations from both SGI and Cray Inc.
This event is distinguished from national Cray User Group meetings by a strong emphasis on applications. It is hoped to include talks on MPP topics such as:
- Programming models and methods,
- Parallel performance prediction, evaluation and optimisation,
- Parallel numerical algorithms,
- Application of 3rd-party parallel solvers, libraries and support tools,
- Data management and visualisation,
- MPP production applications (in computational physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, meteo-climatology, earth sciences etc.).
Contributions to the workshop are invited from workers in all fields in which the use of SGI and Cray MPP platforms is an important aspect. Abstracts for papers and posters to be presented at the workshop will be refereed by the Programme Committee; please note that the call for papers closes on Friday, 9th June.
For further information, abstract submission and delegate registration, please see the WWW pages at:
http://www.man.ac.uk/mrccs/mpp-workshop6/or contact: Dr. Ben Jesson (email@example.com), Manchester Computing, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK.
ARSC Summer Tours Begin June 7thFrom June 7 - August 30, every Wednesday from 2 - 3pm, ARSC will be giving tours to the public. This will be ARSC's third summer participating in UAF's Activities & Tours Program.
Reservations aren't required. Just show up. Your visiting relatives are welcome!
Tours start in the Butrovich Building on the UAF campus, meet at the interactive kiosk and machine room viewing window, downstairs. For more information, call (907) 450-8600 or send email to email@example.com.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:{{ My computer center uses Kerberos/SecurID for authentication. {{ Sometimes, I need to use my SecurID card to generate two or three {{ valid cardcodes, all within a few minutes. {{ {{ Do I really have to re-enter my SecurID PIN over and over? Can't I {{ just let the 6-digit code roll over? (I tried it once, and wound up {{ in "next-token" code mode.) Look at the top-right corner of the LCD display on your SecurID card. When you enter your PIN, a tiny "1" will appear there. As long as the "1" is present, the displayed code is valid, unless you've already used it. If you have already used it, hit the diamond key to get a new valid code. If, when you hit the diamond key, the code doesn't change, then just wait (up to a minute) for the next code to appear automatically--it will be valid. Q: What's a good defense against bears?

Hello all,
My wife and I have developed a Phonics App, it teaches the 44 sounds and allows children to blend sounds into words, it's very interactive, it also includes a graded writing section. Its on Android only at the moment, works on android smart phones and is optimised well for tablets. If we get enough sales on Google Play then we will develop it for Apple. It has occurred to me that this will be a good resource for teaching English as a second language. We have had downloads from all over the world. And we have had some good reviews.
Can anyone give us some advice to get this to the tefl teaching community?
Here is a link to the app which includes a video.
Any help much appreciated.

the last batch of honey i pulled off had a nutty pungent flavor. very strong and dark. don't know if it was goldenrod or a blend of that and clethra, loostrife and who knows what else. i did not like it.
Most definitely, Cindi, that's what it is. Bamboo, knotweed, that's the problem with common names, which is why I will usually use the latin name (Polygonum cuspidatum), but then people think I'm trying to be high fallutin :-P The Victorians brought that over as an ornamental. Problem is it's horribly invasive, as some here have noted. If you really want to get rid of it, you have to use the bad stuff, Round-up, applied as it flowers. It'll take a few years of application to get rid of it. You can't dig it, one little piece of root will resprout.Here's an article that's closer to you're part of the world. There's another, known as Giant Knotweed, (Polygonum sachalinense), that looks very similar but is huge! Funny thing is, my mother has that one in her garden, and for us here in New England it's very well behaved - go figure! :-P

This post shares a small observation made related to switching on TVs in movies.
Scenario: In a movie, something important is happening and one key person is not at al aware of this. His/her friend/business associate/relative etc calls him/her and asks "tumhne TV nahi dekha" (hindi for: You've not watched TV?) Now the person receiving the call says "Nahin, kya hua" (No. What happened?) and then switches on the TV.
In all movies, following happens without fail:
1. The viewer never needs to change the channel (The TV was set to the channel where the said news is being shown-In real life, there's always a high probability that you'll have to ask your caller on which channel the news he/she wants to tell is coming and then you'll have to navigate to that channel)
2. The news item begins from start once the TV is turned on (Usually you should miss initial few lines if you switched on few seconds late)
3. They always switch off the TV after hearing one or two lines.(with anger, most of the time) They don't check what other news channels are showing or call up someone to cross check the information.
End of post (No further interpretations)

Watching news inside a movie...an observation
This post shares a small observation made related to switching on TVs in movies.
17 comments :
The logic is in the message not the logic of how the message is coveyed to Sri Sri ENidhi:)) But it was interesting observation. Do you see that often in the movies made these days? I personally dont think so.

Good observations, Shrinidhi. Yes, the "news" shows on Movies always have these peculiar characteristics. Also I wonder if the choice of news channel depends on the political affiliations of the movie producers/director.

If it is a villain, dont forget that he'll smash the remote towards the TV screen n it breaks into pieces! Hehe!

Thanks all for your comments.
Anonymus: I just wrote my observation. Have no complaints as such.
Hari, yes, in Movie advertising is big thing. If you pay the producer well, they'll showcase your brand in the movie wherever possible...
Sandesh: That is true
- Wednesday, October 03, 2007 1:14:00 PM
Hi! This is independent of the post under which I am posting this thing so please bear with me.( Is there another way I can do this? Write directly to you?)Do you watch the stock markets? Have you written about them? I would love to hear your comments/observations on the stock markets. I am not actually fishing for tips when I make this request:) Thanks!
- Wednesday, October 03, 2007 4:29:00 PM
How do you mean you are a 'professional' amateur? Are you being paid by the advertisers for your posts - not that I have seen any:) Why dont you run GoogleAdsense on your blogsite? What do you think about Lord Ram? And the Dravidians who do not seem to like him very much.
- Wednesday, October 03, 2007 4:32:00 PM
- Shrinidhi Hande said...
I do not have commercial interest in blogging at this moment, hence no ads as of now.
'professional' and amateur are two contradictory words-represent that everyone can be professional in few things and amateurs in many other aspects.
No comment on Ram issue at this moment.
I do not have anything specific to write about stock market as of now. will write as and when I can comeup with something worth writing.

I do watch stock markets. Will write when time comes....
You could have left your name...
Hope I answered all your questions.
- Wednesday, October 03, 2007 6:02:00 PM
Commercial interest can arrest creativity and original thinking and affect your work or activity. I wonder if Sunita Williams thought of becoming an astronaut as a career option or she just got into it by sheer fate. I wasnt around when she visited a few places in India. I am grateful for your replies. Stockmarkets are gambling dens, the companies listed on them are red herrings. During the days when I liplocked with somebody who was Tamil I wanted to learn the language etc. I am paying attention to the Ram issue brewing in your country because it is intellectually stimulating. I wonder why you dont feel that way if you dont. I am not anonymous on purpose, the option to stay anonymous is welcome.

Thanks for coming back and commenting.
Yes, stock market is soaring, rupee is appreciating, P Chidambaram has cautioned small scale investors from entering the market at this stage. believe we should see some correction soon.
The Ram issue is simulating indeed but there're several other issues as well. I have a job to do besides... I do not intend to write simple articles like I agree or I dont agree...Will write when I feel my post will add some value...
Thanks again.
- Thursday, October 04, 2007 10:33:00 AM
I hope the articles that you write will add great value to your readers's lives (?) or to this blog of yours, more than you are able to in your job. Please do not write simple articles stating simply your preferences even when you feel like doing it when you have nothing to do or write.
Thanks and good luck!

I couldn't stop myself laughing....Xcellent observation.I know it's very late to leave a comment on a blog which was written 1 year back.But couldn't stop my expressions.I dont know whether you will be able to read my comment or not(as it's for a very old blog of yours)but actually I got to know about you and your blogs through internet browsing couple of months back and that's y whenever I find time I just go through your old blogs also.You are doing a gr8 job...I like almost all of your blogs but specially those on travel and living. I think thats the area where you find yourself very comfortable as you love travelling if I am not wrong.

@ Surjeet
It is never too late to write a comment. See I've read and responded. In fact many of my old posts continue to attract some comments.
Yes I do love travelling and have been travelling quite a bit of late.

- Supreetha said...
Just read this post. So the comments now.
One more thing you might have noticed is that the news reader says a couple of lines and the focus shifts to the characters in the movie. After they debate/converse regarding the news, the reader continues reading!! When the conversation is going on, the TV gets paused!!
- Friday, October 17, 2008 1:57:00 PM

Yes, Good observation...
Looks funny if we want to criticize, but that's how they're used to tell the story...
May be all those TVs have TATA Sky which claims you can pause a live cricket match (I don't know if it is for sure)

To revise is to "see again." Revision is the most difficult and the most important part of the writing process. Ideally, we would all have great editors to help us, but lacking such, it is imperative to learn to edit yourself. In this workshop, we will talk about the keys to self-editing/revision and do a few exercises to explore how it works.

Famous – Truth Never Televised (Prod. by Tone Mason)
Download Link: http://www.hulkshare.com/1g006wpmg5yw
So, I was creeping Facebook the other morning and saw some dope pictures on my home-girl Anna Carina's (Makeup Extraordinaire) page. I text messaged her at like 6am harassing her to tell me what program she used to edit her pics. She didn't have her iPad on her, so I got dressed and met her at the gym for a quick workout (were still talking like 7am that morning) Lol. After the workout, she went over the apps on my iPhone and BAM!
But instead of using the app to take pictures, I realized it's got some pretty dope effects for Video.
Long story short, I made this video, using that App (tweet me to find out @thekidfamous), instead of posting a generic graphic with music playing under it.
Hopefully the video stimulates the mind enough for y'all to take in the lyrics.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 266, April 4, 2003
Chilkoot/Yukon PrgEnv Upgraded to 3.6
Programming Environment 3.6 (PE3.6) was made the default on March 12. The previous default, PE3.5, remains available as PrgEnv.old.
To switch back to PrgEnv.old, execute this command prior to compiling your code:
module switch PrgEnv PrgEnv.old
Here are some of the changes in the new programming environment... lots of good stuff for C/C++ programmers. ARSC users, see the man pages or contact us for more detail. Enjoy!
- f90 command now named ftn (but "f90" remains available in this release).
- The Cray Standard C compiler now supports the C99 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999). (You might review Jim Long's article on C99 in issue 245 )
- The Cray Standard C++ compiler now supports the C++98 standard (ISO/IEC FDIS 14882:1998).
- Fortran and C/C++ programs developed on Cray SV1ex systems can now use the new bte_move intrinsic command for faster data transfers (about 50 times faster).
- A new infinite vector length optimization feature was added to the Cray Fortran Compiler and Cray Standard C/C++ compilers.
- Fortran Aggressive Inlining Option Changes. Because the Cray Fortran Compiler -O inline4 option has a new functionality (described in Section 2.2.1), aggressive inlining is now activated by the -O inline5 option.
(Not) Vectorizing Loops With Pointer Arrays
Should a compiler vectorize a loop which contains possible data dependencies, due to references to pointer arrays? Interestingly, NEC's f90 and Cray's ftn compilers answer this question differently. NEC f90 lives dangerously, opting for performance, Cray ftn opts for safety.
The problem is that pointers might address overlapping memory, which in some cases will create dependencies within a loop which are unknowable at compile time. Here's an example:
module gridtype integer :: size real (kind=8), allocatable, dimension (:) :: A real (kind=8), pointer, dimension (:) :: B real (kind=8), allocatable, target, dimension (:) :: C end module gridtype ... do i = 3, size A(i) = A(i-1) + A(i-2) enddo do i = 3, size C(i) = B(i-1) + B(i-2) enddo
The first loop has an obvious dependency, requiring that the computations must proceed in serial order. A(n) can't be computed before A(n-1) and A(n-2) are computed. It's not vectorizable.
The second loop would have no dependency if we were guaranteed that C and B were disjoint in memory, but given that B is pointer, we lack that guarantee. In particular, if B addresses the same location as C, then the two loops are equivalent and suffer the same dependency.
From Cray's loopmark listing and showing "negmsgs", ftn -rm -Omsgs,negmsgs -o tst4a tst4a.f90 we see that Cray ftn doesn't vectorize either loop:
55. 56. 1---< do i = 3, size 57. 1 A(i) = A(i-1) + A(i-2) 58. 1---> enddo 59. 60. f---< do i = 3, size 61. f C(i) = B(i-1) + B(i-2) 62. f---> enddo 63. end subroutine work ftn-6254 f90: VECTOR File = tst4a.f90, Line = 56 A loop starting at line 56 was not vectorized because a recurrence was found on "A" at line 57. ftn-6004 f90: SCALAR File = tst4a.f90, Line = 60 A loop starting at line 60 was fused with the loop starting at line 56.
No matter what I tried, including the advisory directive to ignore vector dependencies, !CDIR$ IVDEP I couldn't persuade the Cray compiler to vectorize the second loop. (If anyone knows how to do this, let us know.)
It's a different story on the SX-6. The "fullmsg" output, f90 -Wf"-pvctl fullmsg" -o tst4a tst4a.f90 shows that the SX-6 compiler vectorizes the second loop:
f90: vec(3): tst4a.f90, line 56: Unvectorized loop. f90: vec(13): tst4a.f90, line 56: Overhead of loop division is too large. f90: opt(1037): tst4a.f90, line 57: Feedback of array elements. f90: vec(20): tst4a.f90, line 57: Unvectorizable dependency.:a f90: vec(1): tst4a.f90, line 60: Vectorized loop. f90: tst4a.f90, work: There are 5 diagnoses.
The SX-6 compiler can be inhibited from vectorizing the second loop by inserting this directive: !CDIR NOVECTOR directly above the second "DO".
Whether or not vectorizing the loop will give bad results depends on what the pointer addresses. As you may suspect, we investigated this issue because it arose in a real user application.
In that case, the pointer array was allocated separately, occupied different memory from its companion on the LHS of the expression, and it was correct to vectorize the loop. Thus, in that application, performance on the Cray suffered until the code was rewritten to eliminate the pointer, which, since there really was no dependency, allowed the compiler to vectorize it.
However, for the curious, here's the complete test code used in this article. It gives incorrect results on the SX-6 if the default compiler behavior, which is to vectorize, is used. It always gives the correct results on the Cray.
module gridtype integer :: size real (kind=8), pointer, dimension (:) :: B real (kind=8), allocatable, dimension (:) :: A real (kind=8), allocatable, target, dimension (:) :: C end module gridtype program tst use gridtype implicit none integer i call init () print*, "before A:", (A) print*, "before B:", (B) print*, "before C:", (C) call work () print*, "after: A", (A) print*, "after: B", (B) print*, "after: C", (C) end subroutine init () use gridtype implicit none integer :: i size = 10 allocate (A(size)) allocate (C(size)) C = 1. A = 1. B => C end subroutine init subroutine work () use gridtype implicit none integer :: i do i = 3, size A(i) = A(i-1) + A(i-2) enddo do i = 3, size C(i) = B(i-1) + B(i-2) enddo end subroutine work
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ In vi, and perl for that matter, it's a nuisance to search and [[ replace on strings which contain forward slashes. Is there an easier [[ way to do what I want here? Some Unix trick, maybe? (Please don't [[ say "emacs"...) [[ [[ :%s/\/lib\//\/usr\/lib\//gc You're not stuck using the "/" to delimit the expession. For instance, this example uses a "," which makes it unnecessary to escape the forward slashes: :%s,/lib/,/usr/lib/,gc # # Thanks to Rich Griswold for this response: # I'm not sure about vi, but perl is pretty flexible about the delimiter characters for regular expressions. From the perlop manpage: Any non-alphanumeric, non-whitespace delimiter may replace the slashes. For example, you can use any of the following: $foo =~ s /lib/ /usr/lib/ g; $foo =~ s-/lib/-/usr/lib/-g; $foo =~ s(/lib/)(/usr/lib/)g; You can even mix delimiters like this: $foo =~ s</lib/>/\/usr\/lib\//g; There are special rules for some delimiters. Check the m/PATTERN/cgimosx and s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/egimos entries in the perlop manpage for a full explanation. Q: I did "du -sk" of a directory, I got 320 Mbytes, then I made a tarfile of the directory, and it was near 1 GByte! What happened?

This recent interview of Martin Blaser by the Scientist is a great primer and will serve as good introduction/ update on the importance of protecting our friendly flora and the impact that the increased use of antibiotics may be having on our health and the well being of our microbiome. This interview was prompted by Dr. Blaser's recent comment in Nature (Vol 476, 393–394 (25 August 2011) doi:10.1038/476393a) entitled Stop Killing the Beneficial Bacteria. Recommend them both to anyone curious of how antibiotics may be influencing our microbiome and our health.

The Brother LC61 cartridges have a unique design, come along with three other color sets namely magenta, yellow and cyan and boast high quality prints. An economical choice, these sets of cartridges represent value for money.
Unique design
As part of our Brother cartridge review we found that these LC61 cartridges come with a unique design element. There is a spring catch located on the front part of these cartridges.
Features and specifications
The Brother LC61 cartridges come with approximately 14.6 ml comprising ink. This dye based ink yields around 450 pages at around 5% of coverage.
The brother LC61 cartridges have a market value of around 27 dollars but you can easily get the compatible cartridges for around 6 to 7 dollars. The compatible cartridges work just as fine if not better than the Brother LC61 cartridges available in retail stores.
Other features
As part of our definitive Brother ink cartridges review we found that these cartridges produce very vivid prints and high quality print output. The specially developed formula for the ink helps create graphics and prints, which are ozone resistant as well as resistant to light fading action. All of these Brother LC61 cartridges have undergone rigorous testing in the Brother laboratories and the presence of a high viscosity and consistent ink produces ink flow without any clogs and which is easily regulated in flow. The distribution of the ink is even and without any uneven flow. When it comes to the multifunction peripherals of Brother, the ink is anti-smearing in nature.
The Brother LC61 variety of cartridges comes with three color sets namely cyan, yellow and magenta. The average page yield is approximately 500 pages along with a coverage spanning 5%. The recyclables nature of these cartridges is not seen as both pre-consumer as well as post-consumer recycling is not available from the manufacturer. Each pack of these Brother LC61 cartridges comes in three colors. The approximate weight of these cartridges is around 0.600 pounds and the unit of measuring is in PK. The standard black ink version of the Brother LC61 is perfect for Brother printer models such as DCP-585CW, DCP-165, MFC-250C, DCP-385C, MFC-290C, MFC-5490CN, MFC-490CW, MFC-6490CW, MFC-5890CN as well as MFC-990CW model versions. The respective model numbers such as LC61C, LC61Y and LC61M are for the cyan, yellow and magenta versions of the colored Brother LC61 cartridges.
Our verdict
Overall, the Brother LC61 version of cartridges is superior and provides solid performance. The specially developed ink formula guarantees exceptional print quality and graphics, which do not fade in the presence of light or ozone exposure. In addition, the average pricing of the cartridge per ml is around 46 or 47 cents, which is not much. Thus, these Brother LC61 cartridges are cost effective and produce high quality of graphics as well as prints. The cartridges also guarantee a long shelf life because of the even ink flow and distribution of ink across the page, which lends a uniform print quality.

Mooring advice needed
WOW!!!!!!!!!!... thats some big chain....jeeze!.... wish I had some......cool.
Mooring advice needed
I agree...
A ford or chev should do fine, but a dodge would even be better.
Mooring advice needed
Thanks to everyone for the great advice. Ultimatley I decided to go with the weight. I Have a 1200lb drill press and 1250lb of
2 1/2 inch hardened steel chain and 40'' of of 1/2" galvinized riser chain with swivels top and bottom. Hopefully this set-up will hold me at least three years.
Thanks again,
Mooring advice needed
I had a mooring in South Dartmouth, Ma. where the bottom was all sand. Hard sand. Did you ever hear about what happened there during Hurricane Bob? I can''t remember the exact number but dozens of moorings pulled out because people used mushrooms in hard sand. The boats were just lying there, on the shore, still tied to their land locked moorings. (And train wheels).This made me a believer about this hard sand thing. It made sence to me! Since then they cracked down. I spoke with the harbor master and the mooring tender, they gave me this info. The mooring tender (John) told me ,when I spoke with him about installing a mooring, the same thing I stress here. He had me go out and buy a 2,800 LB mooring weight (as I mentioned in my other post to you) with related gear. I went through a couple good blows there. It did the trick!
So.... my advice is to talk to mooring tenders... call or go to scrap yards and try to find a mooring weight. (I found mine in a scrap yard). It''s a once every 15 to 20 year thing but you''ll sleep well... take my word for it.
Tha besta luck.
P.S. Almost forgot; steel retains about ninety percent of it''s weight in salt water.
The foreign made mushroom is less.
Mooring advice needed
the mushroom anchors we use dig in to the bottom because the angle of the lip and the length of the shank. most of the moorings stayed in place and were hard to pick up at the end of the season. QCYC has 3 different bottom types, from a mud with clay to river sand and a hard packed clay. as the tide changes and the boats settle in the other side of the mushroom pulls the anchor in deeper. Its just advice. How do the other boaters hook down in the gravel??? Are there anyother boats there? Have you thought about getting a real slip?? you may also think about old railcar wheels stacked and welded together with a ring.good luck getting them back up at the end of the season
Mooring advice needed
No access to a Helix mooring and went through some pretty severe weather without any problems where boats in quieter bays did drag.
Mooring advice needed
Seems like mainly gravel and hard pan sand. It is hard to get an anchor to grab. Any idea how much steal loses in weight when imersed. I''m thinking if I have enough Weight and scope it should be ok. I wish there was some general rule of thum I could use based on displacement. When I had someonwe dive on my old mooring it hadnt settled in any after three years. I had the primary weight 1200lb with 20'' of chain and another 200lb then from this I had another 20'' of chain going up to the Ball. I never had any problem, and I feel I had the right set-up but still am unsure how much more weight is needed. The old boat displaced about 1800lb compared to 11500lb with the new.
Good advice so far any additional would be helpful
Mooring advice needed
Hi again. Look... let me begin by saying this... if you drop a little 300 lb mushroom in gravel, you will be sorry. It is impossible to create a suction in gravel. You have to have a suction or enough weight or the mooring will just slide across the bottom. This is not my oppinion-this is fact. If your in a harbor where the laws of physics cease to apply, you''d better stay there.
It is quite probbable that the gravel is only so deep. If it is only say, three or four feet deep, then you can drop your mooring and wait a couple of weeks (with no load on the mooring so it will settle straight down) then tie-up. But now there''s another question. Whats below the gravel? You should not use a mushroom in hard sand, it wont penatrate the bottom. You have to know whats there, thats very important. If it''s hard sand then you should use a mooring weight. These are a solid piece of cast steel, shaped into a half of a sphere, with a concave bottom. these are better in sand than mushrooms but are much heavier. If you have sand below, use the weight (2 to 3,000 lbs). If you have mud below, use the mushroom (no less than 500lbs no less than 3/4'' bottom chain- no less than 1/2'' top chain). If it''s all gravel, go with the biggest hunk of cement you can get out there. Remember, cement looses up to about 40% of it''s weight in water. I don''t think swivels are really nesessary because when you drop the mooring to go sailing, it will twist back if thereis any twist at all. If you are going to use them , use one, thats all you''ll need and remember their your weakest link. Go way oversize. You can get them from a comercial fishing retailer.(Check-out my post in General Discussion-mooring vs dock ,if you want) Scrap metal yards sometimes have mooring weights and they will have other very heavy items. They will deliver.
As for a float? Don''t use the ones with a metal rod going through it. It doesn''t take long for them to rot away. Get an inflatable ball that allows the top chain to pass through the center and keep the chain from pulling back through by placing a large shackle at the end of the top chain. Also remember, the less connections, the better.
hope I helped,
Mooring advice needed
the QCYC use the following guide line for all the sail and power boats. Since the QCYC is the Philadelphias oldest YC i think they have come up(or copied) a good measure.
10lbs per 1 foot of boat, mushroom anchor
chain 5/16ths 2x the depth at high tide
3 swivels, one at the mushroom, one midway up and one on the float
1 good float I always used the taylor with the rod running right through it and a swivel on it
bridles,2x the height of the bow to the water
even with the gravel on the bottom the anchor will bite into it if the shank is the right size.
This configuration is not the panacea. you must PM your mooring and unwrap it every once in a while.
What did you use to pick up the 1200 lb weight at the end of the season??
Mooring advice needed
Hi David,
The problem scott is facing is that his harbor has a gravel bottom. Gravel does not allow a suction to form so it''s easy to drag the weight or anchor accross the bottom. Iv''e seen this happen many times.In a bottom with deep gravel, you would need much more weight.

text: Schadenfreude is enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone else. I thought it may be fun to point out the worst statlines in the NBA each night. It'll at least give us something to feel better about when the Pistons lose or have the night off. This is obviously subjective and you can let anything factor into your analysis. Expectations, embarrassment factor, turnovers, missed shots, etc. I may as well start with last night's games. For the winner, I'm going to break the rules on the first day and go with the combined statline of a dynamic duo. Because Larry Brown is their coach and demands perfection, this makes it worse for these guys. Sean May + Jared Dudley: 37:59 minutes played as starters 1 pt (0-8 shooting, 1-4 from the line) 4 reb/ 1 ast/ 2 stl/ 0 blk/ 5 fouls/ 3 TO Honorable Mention: R. Lopez- 20:28 min/ 5 pts/ 2 reb/ 0 ast/ 0 stl/ 0 blk/ 2 TO/ 6 PF as a starter. His .400 FG% saves him.

In 1970 Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, an American folk musician from Detroit, released Cold Fact, an album inspired by life, love, poverty and rebellion. The album saw slow sales and mixed reviews, and after trying and seemingly failing again with the album Coming from Reality, Rodriguez disappeared entirely from the public eye. Amid death rumors, Rodriguez and his music were becoming hugely successful on the other side of the world. In South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, Cold Fact went multi-platinum and became a cult classic. Now, four decades later, Rodriguez is back and capturing new fans through the critically acclaimed documentary Searching for Sugar Man.

By Chris Harris
Kieran Gibbs has called on Arsenal to deliver a "faultless performance" and restore their pride against AC Milan on Tuesday night.
Arsène Wenger's side go into the second leg of their tie as rank outsiders to reach the Champions League quarter-finals after losing 4-0 at the San Siro three weeks ago.
Gibbs made his long-awaited return from injury in that match and he wants the team to make amends for a below-par display.
"The whole team was quite hurt by the first leg," said Gibbs at his pre-match press conference. "It was a disappointing performance. The pitch was not great, but they had to play on it as well and you have to accept that on the night.
"You just have to turn up, if you don't on the night with not the best performance and also no luck, then you have no chance. If you have those two combined, you have no chance of winning. We experienced both of those together and as a result we suffered.
"But we have shown fantastic mentality to come back in the last couple of games and have created a momentum now and would like to continue that. We have to believe otherwise there is no point in being here. If they can beat us 4-0 then why can't we do the same?
"In our last home game, we scored five goals. We have to create a faultless performance and get a good balance between attacking and defending. You don't accept getting beaten 4-0 in the Champions League and we are looking to restore that pride."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Jacquelyn and Sean were married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley, Calif. on October 19. "We knew it was the one because of it's effortless, natural beauty," Jacquelyn said. "It felt like we were at an Italian villa." The bride wore a lace fit 'n' flare wedding gown with an illusion neckline and back, accessorized with a pair of sparkly peep-toe pumps, while the groom wore a gray three-piece suit, accessorized with a peach bow tie and pocket square to match the 'maids in their dresses. She walked down the rose-petal aisle with her parents by each side to meet Sean. They recited their own vows that got them both teary-eyed! Guests enjoyed signature "Whisk-ie Love" and "Yu Sweet Cute-Cumber" cocktails from mason jars. Rustic farm tables were decorated with vintage books, vases and vessels filled with roses and hydrangeas and coffee bean favor bags at each place setting. "The one moment I can't stop thinking about is when all our friends and family flooded onto the dance floor to surround us for the last song," she said. "There was big bear hugs, high-fives, and cheers while everyone sang along to Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' at the top of our lungs."

Anybody know how much fluid it can hold???
Anybody know how much fluid it can hold???
Not much at all. Maybe a liter or so? Or are you asking about the entire system?
I really suck at smog.
it the same part, so same capacity. it has no real bearing on how well the system works, other than giving an expansion volume for it. Has nothing to do with cooling ability.
Tradition is the art of making the same mistake repeatedly, on purpose.
i would say it has a capacity of about HALF a litre..
gotta remember, you still need air space in the expansion tank so the coolant can expand and not puke out..
its like having a pot of water, the one with half a pot of water will boiler faster than one with a pot thats full of water.. i dont know thats how i see it...My car doesnt overheat but the hottest my car gets is 212 in 75-80+ degree weather?? i just wanna try and get lower temps if possible
i am already running a external oil cooler with low temp thermo and low temp fan switch.. i think if it were hotter id be over heating
but check it out
2.0 bottle
vr6 bottle
The mkIV's use the same tank for all the motors, 2.0, TDI,1.8T and the 12V and 24V VR6's.
The tank has nothing to do with the cooling abilities of your system. That would be more related to the radiator, water pump and the thermostat you have. A new radiator will bring your system to maximum efficiency if you have any doubts about how it is cooling.
But, for whatever reason VW used two diff tanks in the mkIII's, I guess they found out later it didn't need to be that way.

if you have cooling problems, get a bigger radiator, not a bigger expansion tank..
you could have a million gallon cooling system capacity, but without a big enough radiator, it will never work right..

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Dec 24, 2012.
I'm hoping this happens with Ben McLemore.
Not me. I just don't see McClemore being able to help this team. He just hasn't put it all together yet. He can shoot, he's super athletic......but he's also passive and hesitant, it's like he's the only person in the world who doesn't know how good he is or how good he can be.
Is it me or is he 'Nique's doppleganger?
NBA free agent rumors: Will Bynum now "more likely" to re-sign with Pistons, according to report - Detroit Bad Boys
I like Will, he's a GREAT spark off the bench. Is he iradic? Of course! But that's why he's a $3M/yr bench player and not a $8M/yr starter. I just don't understand what folks expect out of a backup PG.
Watching him and Dre just connect was fantastic. I'd be happy to just plonk him out there for 30 minutes a game to see how many assists he can rack up by playing fetch.

Chad Ford Mock draft from yesterday: Analysis: If Anthony Bennett slides to No. 8, Pistons GM Joe Dumars will be grinning ear-to-ear. For the past three years, one of the top-ranked players in the draft has slid to the Pistons. In 2010, it was Greg Monroe. In 2011, it was Brandon Knight. In 2012, it was Andre Drummond. If Bennett is there, the Pistons would grab him. He can play both the 3 and the 4, can both stretch the floor and play in the post. The Pistons have other needs, including point guard, but Bennett is too much of a talent to pass up. Trey Burke and Michael Carter-Williams are the other two possibilities in Detroit.
At #37, Chad Ford has the Pistons taking Archie Goodwin - guard from Kentucky. At #56, the Pistons are taking Solomon Hill - SF from Arizona.
You never pass up on a Chaz-Max hybrid.
I see a combo guard in our future as Bennett is snagged with the 7th pick.......
10 NBA Players Who Will Definitely Switch Uniforms This Offseason | Bleacher Report Will Bynum stay or go?
Last few years, as we got on the clock, Joe picked the player we all wanted. Imagine Trey is still there at #8, and he passes on him for Zeller or someone...
Zeller could actually turn out to be a decent fit with GM and Andre. But since we're a bottom dweller right now, it sort of stinks drafting a player to come off the bench.
I'd rather draft a guy coming off the bench, than sign 2 free agents ( Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva ) for all that money that were coming off the bench, like Joe D. did a few years ago. He wasted all that money on those 2 guys!
Damn, it's not a popular opinion, but I'm not sold on Trey Burke. He just seems to disappear way too often. He's shown he CAN be clutch, but what about the rest of the game where you need him? He's a decent option as we really do need a PG but I just have a bad feeling about him being Mateen 2.0. (Sorry, I know Mateen couldn't shoot) but I don't wanna see JD pick up a guy just because he went locally to school here. I don't know why, I'm just getting a bad vibe. Same as Bennett falling to us, just seems like he has bust written all over him. Watched a highlight video of him and he seems like he's just not fast or quick and couldn't get it done at the next level. Some players just don't make ya go AHHHH !!!!!
I don't want Joe to pick a guy just cuz he went to an in-state school but I also don't want Joe to NOT pick a guy just cuz he went to an in-state school. ...I don't know WHO to take man.
Honestly, for 3M a year, Will does a decent job. My biggest problem with Will is his decision making, He's always trying to be the hero. He never saw a shot that he didn't think was open. He's got good enough quickness to get an open shot but rarely seems to realize that him taking the shot isn't what's best for the team. He's always trying a "heat-check" after making 1-2 shots. Usually he's not good for 3 in a row. To me, Will bogs down the offense. No one seems to move on offense because they all know he's breaking down the D and putting up a shot. I really want a PG that can set up and run the offense. (I do like Jose, even though I can't envision him signing with us again).
again what are your expectations for a backup pg making $3M/yr?
