Dolphin Artists :: Kerry King
Kerry King (born June 3, 1964 in Los Angeles, California) is best known for his work as a guitarist in the band Slayer. Over the years, Kerry King's guitar style has remained the same, giving him a very distinctive sound. On earlier Slayer albums up to and including South of Heaven his playing focused more on speed and chaos than melody. However, in his post-Seasons In The Abyss work, Kerry has managed to capture more feel to his guitar work, showcasing more diverse and melodic styles. Read more on Last.fm more

Wayne Law faculty votes to adopt State Bar of Michigan's diversity pledge
DETROIT (Oct. 24, 2011) — The Wayne State University Law School faculty voted at its October meeting to adopt the State Bar of Michigan's Pledge to Achieve Diversity and Inclusion.
"A commitment to diversity is part of the very fabric of this law school, and adopting this pledge is a tangible way of expressing it," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "The opening of the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights and our increased work in the areas of public interest and social justice law are among the many ways we are advancing this commitment."
The pledge notes that "diversity and inclusion are core values of the legal profession, and that these values require a sustained commitment to strategies of inclusion." It concludes, "Therefore, we pledge to continue working with others to achieve diversity and inclusion in the education, hiring, retention, and promotion of Michigan's attorneys and in the elevation of attorneys to leadership positions within our organizations, the judiciary, and the profession."
To view the pledge, visit www.michbar.org/diversity/.

This is one of my favorite weekends. My wife and I make sauerkraut with freinds. We started years ago with another couple and every year more people come. It has turned into a yearly party. We have a large electric chopper and chop a truck load. Everyone gets a couple of five gallon buckets. We drink alot of beer!!!! We have to because its the law here in the midwest. After the kraut is done we make polish sausage and start cooking. Keilbasa, last years kraut and beer. This is one party were beer farts are not only expected, they are encouraged. Pull my finger
It so simple. All you do is chop the cabbage, mix in salt, tamp it down in a food grade bucket, put a small garbage bag in side another and add a couple of quarts of water and seal to make a bladder, put the badder on top of the cabbage to seal the bucket but let gasses out and wait a month. It gets better with age. We store ours under our basement stairs and just dig out what we need for a meal until its gone.
OK so I would like to give it a try will a 5 gallon plastic bucket work and could you give me the amounts of what to put in and what to do with more detail PLEASE. :?
Quote from: Irwin on September 21, 2008, 11:00:13 AMOK so I would like to give it a try will a 5 gallon plastic bucket work and could you give me the amounts of what to put in and what to do with more detail PLEASE. :?yes we use food grade buckets. The recipe is 5#s of cabbage to 3T of kosher salt mixed well. It makes its own juice as it ferments. Many people use a weighted plate to hold it down but it will have to be skimmed if this method is used. The bladder works like a air lock making wine. I dont know how long it will keep in the bucket. Ours is always about gone by harvest time. A few years ago a friend took a bucket home. Put it in his messy garage and lost it for 2 years. Thats 2 summers and 2 winters and it was still good. As long as the bladder doesn't leak or go dry it keeps for a long time

I have been getting back into the Fett swing of thinks and to start things off I went back and have complete redone the jet pack blueprints for both Jango and Boba. (Boba's will be posted later)
The original jet pack drawings were done few years ago and since then my reference library has grown significantly. So it was time to revisit these drawings. The originals were close and to see the differences in the two sets of drawings you would have to do an overlay. I am very pleased with this version.
Please take a look and let me know what you all think. Always looking for feedback.

Stiffen rear sway bar
Here is an idea that is a cheap way to make a stock Focus rear bar slightly stiffer. My 2003 wagon came stock with a 20 mm bar. The flat ends of the bar were long enough for me to drill new end link holes in the bar that are 3/4 inch in toward the straight center portion of the bar, shortening the arms of the bar from 7 inches to 6 1/4 inches long. To compensate for the shorter arms, I bolted 3/4 inch thick aluminum spacer blocks under the sway bar-to-chassis mounting clamps. I also mounted the bar in Energy Suspension poly bushings and installed poly end link bushings. These changes took virtually all of the understeer out of the cornering ability of the car, making the vehicle's handling much more neutral when cornering. The length of the end links has no effect on the stiffness of a sway bar, but using heim joints on each end of the end links and attachiong the end links farther outboard on the lower control arm will stiffen the effect of the sway bar. Hope these ideas help. Richard Bridgette, Huntersville, NC 704-948-9415.
thanks guys i will check with a guy i know to see if he has an svt rear sway. i know my lca's are not reinforced because i have gone through the process of actually looking for svt arms when i needed to replace my bushings. it was a fail as all the arms i checked out off of svt's were already cracked which i was surprised by. im just going to reinforce them myself as this summer when i hopefully get a chance to take the whole subframe out and clean and paint it up nice.
so any idea on if the length of the links will change stiffness? cus if i can get a svt one it will be for real cheap and i need to upgrade my links and bushings so if i can increase the stiffness a little more i will just do that.
^^ this is all excellent advise.
Check your currect LCAs, they may already have the material. I also think the 22mm bar is great option for the focus.
Try some polly bushings for the sway bar and endlinks. That will stiffen up the feel and response.
Check your control arms, seems later models added the svt style arms that had the extra metal on them. Depending on what syspension you are running now, you shouldnt increase the size drastically. Used SVT bars (21mm) or even Steeda/Progress (22mm) are a good size and increase. Check the buy/sell sections here, normally there is one for sale. You cant really go wrong with a used bar, number of miles on them dont really make a difference.
increase rear sway stiffness
so ive been browsing and trying to figure out ways to make the stock sway a little stiffer without upgrading to a bigger size. ive seen kids drill added holes on the inside of the stock holes where the endlinks mount. for the rear i noticed you cant do this cus there isnt enough space in the flat stock section. another idea was increasing or decreasing the size of the endlinks but not sure if that will do much. what do you guys and gals think.
By putting a bigger or smaller endlink bolt which will make for a softer or harder feel on the sway.
my goal is to eventually get a bigger bar but i want to hold off till a warmer month cus i will want to add metal to the control arms so they wont break on me.

YJ with Chevy Seats, Windstar Slider Upgrade
While it is no big secret that Cavalier/Sunfire bucket seats are good swaps into YJs, the big problem with them is that the factory sliders are not long enough to mount to the seat frame without fabbing some sort of piece to connect them and will still inhibit full travel of the seat. Furthermore the factory YJ sliders aren't that great in terms of longevity. Since I really like my cavalier seats for the last few years I wanted a full length adjuster that increased fore and aft travel as well as being long enough to bolt to the seats factory locations.
I started by going to the pick a part yard to find and measure manual sliders in all types of suv's and vans. What I found was that Ford Windstar used a long manual adjuster that was the same design of the factory YJ's except longer and more robust in their build. Below is the build on them and maybe someone else can use it.
The sliders I got were the manual ones found on the Ford Windstar Minivans.
I paid $32 for the set at Parts Galore. When you pick them just unbolt the them from the risers (13mm socket) then simply unbolt the side brackets (13mm & 19mm) and take everything since it is easier this way.
Here is what you'll get
To start the first thing is to remove the adjusting handles (save the handles spring retainers) and mounting bracketry from the sliders.
I used a drill press to get the rivets out but a grinder would work as well.
Remove these:
There will be one stud at the rear of the seat side on the slider that will have to be removed (where the screwdriver is). The other two studs that attached to the Ford bracket you need to cut off. (NOTE: this is on the seat side of the track or the female portion of the silder)
Once all that is done, you're left with this:
Next you'll need to drill a hole to make a new stud where the track attaches to the YJ riser. (NOTE: these are for the flipping risers. if you have the fixed driver riser the measurement is a bit different. I didn't dig one out to measure that) The spacing is 11" front to rear. you will leave the front stud in the adjuster and measure to the rear. the front holes of the risers are oblong so you have a bit of leeway. mark and drill a 5/16" hole into the male portion of the adjuster.
On the seat side of the adjusters, the rear holes will need to be oblonged by about 3/16" to allow you get a straight line on the cavalier 14" apart mounting holes.
Now you have to install a stud in the new rear hole you drilled with a 5/16"x1" button head.
There is a bit of an angle so you have to make a temporary access door to be able to get the new stud in. i made two cuts:
Then flip up the tab:
Grind opposite sides of the bolt head to clearance the inside of the rail and install the new stud:
Next flatten the flap back down and weld it all back up:
NOTE: I used 1" length bolts to match what was on there. if you used a shorter bolt the access door could probably be skipped.
Place a weld on the head of the new stud to keep it from moving:
I then flipped the slider and put a few tacks on the bottom to ensure the new stud stays affixed. Then I chased the threads with a die to get rid of any spatter or damaged threads. now cut off the rear riser stud that was used in the windstar but is no longer needed (where the screwdriver is pointing).
The adjusting handle is too wide to fit between the sliders. Here is the unmodified adjusting handle:
The handle is just tubing, so take your tubing cutter and cut it in half:
Use some C-clamps and place the cut handle in the sliders and mark where they overlap then with your tubing cutter cut out the unwanted portion. I made sure that they were still a little wider in order to have some spring tension against the slider rails.
Clean up the ends of the tubing on the handle and get it set up to weld back together. You're going to want to make sure everything aligns to eliminate issues when you install them.
Weld it all back together. (you can see the section I removed from the slider)
Reinstall the adjuster handle onto the sliders with the factory spring clip retainers you removed at the beginning and re-lube the sliders with grease:
That's it. Reinstall the seats and rock on.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi, just checked in again,glad your compression looks OK (like Whynot I go for simple first just in case...)
It MIGHT not be square 1 time yet, did you get a chance to check voltage at the battery with a volt meter? Since the alternator in these ISN'T independent of the car's electrical system, there still may be a voltage issue even if the alternator by itself "tested good".
I'm reading this WAY too late at night to feel like looking up the exact details right now, but that alternator pigtail mentioned ion an earlier post is basically a communications link letting the car know when the alternator is working hard so the engine needs more throttle to maintain rpm, as well as a link to the alternator telling IT how much power is needed.....
Kinda generic description, but maybe helpful when looking at "this wire is ground", "this wire is batt. voltage", "this wire signals the computer, and should show Blank voltage range"
So, step 1 is seeing if it's working right as a system with an independent meter.
(Just to check EVERYTHING)
'cause the system voltages you reported earlier would potentially raise havoc with the car's systems....
|Had the alt tested 4 times they said it was good. Back to square 1
|It's about 45 min south of nashville but the car is at my fathers house in Spring hill I am gonna check out the yellow pages and get it rebuilt. Plus the new one is 175 at advance.
|Hit it right on the nose
You needa alternator, your VR is kaput. I suggest a local rebuild. Those guys are in every YP or business section, or ask around at parts stores who does the best rebuild. The idea is that they will be more interested in using higher quality parts to rebuild the alternator because returns are more damaging to that business model.
Where is Belfast? Believe it or not, I found a rebuilder in Crossville, which is not that big of a place.
|On the test mode on the dash my battery is saying any where from 17 up to 19. I know that's not normal...
|I have replaced the pcv line already that is where my focus journey started. I did get the part from ford no heater hose. Thank you for all the advice, I am just determined to fix the damn thing now. When we took off the old iac I told dad there should be a gasket we couldn't find one. I stopped spraying carb cleaner a good bit back and went with a smoke test on the vacuum lines. I am even thinking Mabey some how we were off a tooth or two when we did the timing. But my father and I checked and double checked our work when we did it. I am not giving up I believe I saw the connector for the alt while I was going after the iac. I know this is prolly something simple and I have been going over the basics and trying to control my anger. I have been driving my 86 silverado for the mean time and she loves the gas lmao killing my wallet. I did replace the wires and I replaced the pigtail for the coil soldered then heat shrink. But thanks agin for the advice and giving me options instead of pulling at my hair.
Those are the right plugs. Sorry, I have a theory for diagnosis where I look for the simplest cause that has been overlooked.
On that PCV line, low idle conditions are caused by the PCV collapsing under idle. Like AMC wrote, it most likely occurs at the elbow where the vacuum line enters the intake. Ford makes an insulated replacement that is supposed to prevent this problem.
Alternator problems are a big deal for this car. There are issues with the VR plug-in connector similar to the coil problems, and issues with the wiring leaving that connector being either melted in the harness or broken. Intermittent shorts are possible. We also have experienced weak VRs in most rebuilds inspiring me to recommend that everyone seek out a local rebuilder because the business model for those guys encourages the use of better parts. You can check your alternator output using the electronic odometer test mode while you drive the car. Simply press and hold the trip reset button with the key off, then turn the key on, and continue to hold. The odo display will change to read [test], and you can release the reset button. Now each time you press and release the odo reset button you will scroll through one of about 30 test functions. You are looking for the one that reads [bat 12.1] which is what is should read with your battery reading 12.3v at the terminals. I've noticed a .2v difference in mine, but you can't ride around under the hood with a multi-meter on the battery. There is also a FP readout that will give you fuel pressure, but it might display in KPas instead of PSI. The temp readout is definitely in C instead of F. The DTC code display doesn't work very well, and should be ignored. You should also remember that this readout is dependent on sensors, for example, some people who have bad temp sensors will have the readout jumping around and showing ridiculous temps like 200C, but you check it with an infrared thermometer and get nothing close to that. The same would go for a fuel sensor- if it was bad, then it might give bad readings back that you could double check with a mechanical gauge installed in the fuel line.
I think your problem is eventually going to end up being more simple than that, but your level of frustration might go over the moon before then.
Am I blind? I see mention of plugs changed but no wires. Simply pulling wires on these often breaks the carbon string inside to not idle right. Check for resistance, more than 5K ohms per foot of length and they are bad. Also, technically there are TWO PCV hoses, one in front and one that attaches to very bottom of intake, where it gives the most trouble. Most problems right where the hose enters intake, it sucks through side of hose where it has softened from continued exposure to fuel solvents. There is NO EGR hose that connects to PCV, that steel tube continues to the PCV valve up front and the second rubber hose I speak of. If IAC pulled did you known recover old gasket or rubber seal? Some use a flat paper gasket and some use a double circle rubber o-ring cast as one part. Either can have a tendency to stick to intake, if you put new part on with gasket, it will have two stacked and leak like sieve especially if the rubber one. Very hard to see up in there without a folding mirror. A local lean area at a vacuum hose leaking trips PCM into richening ALL cylinders since that is all it can do, meaning seeming rich is often a lean problem. 12.33 volts is not good either, that is around when batteries often start making car have seeming idle problems. A known good battery is 12.6 to 12.8 volts. Charge battery up FULLY and check alt output, dying alt can produce this stuff once battery is low enough.
Like he says, quit spraying carb fluid to find leaks, you're going to blow yourself up.
|The plugs are all at .51 they are really really black when I pull them. The motor craft plugs are sp-478. I will check the tps signal I am sure there is a how to. I have pulled every vacuum line on the car except for the hard egr tube that connects to the pcv valve and checked them all over. There is no black smoke from the exhaust. I replaced the pigtail for the coil. When I turned on the rear defroster last night the rpms jumped then slowly went back down jumped agin then the car stalled.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, May 8, 2009.
Bring Sheed back next year.
need more options... bring back as a starter no bring back as a bench player.... i'd be ok with that, or if a starter with solid backups that he's not playing more then 20-25 mins a game aka buddah for the bad boys.
Good point. I expanded the poll.
I think we should pay Sheed $8 million a year to take technicals and lead the dance circle.
I don't care if he's willing to play for free. I don't want him back. He has over stayed his welcome.
No, he is taking a roster spot away from a combo guard and I really feel if they can bring in 1 or 2 more guards they might get a complete player if they combined them all into 1 player. Plus, I don't ever recall him diving into the stands to try and catch some of the passes that the guys threw.
Undecided myself, I can't resist. I luv the guy, no matta what he does.
I really like a lot about Sheed...but it's fairly clear the party's over...his passion for the team is gone. If we had a different coach that I thought he respected, I might reconsider for $6-7M with him coming off the bench.
Where's the "Hell no" option?
No way. It's time to break up this team. Sheed needs a change of environment. Not to mention he has lost more than a step or two.
At this point, I'd take him as a coach.
Head coach?
I like Sheed, but it's time to give his spot to someone who's not afraid to work for it and will do whatever it takes to improve like Walter Sharpe.
He would make a good "young big man coach"...seems like he has a passion to teach the young bigs...Watch tape of him playing Dwight Howard or a LaMarcus Aldridge..to name a few! Young bigs with potential makes his eyes go wide open and excited... Assistant coach? Definitely not in Detroit....Amir and Kwame don't seem to give Rasheed that excitement lol
I can't understand how you can continue to carry water for Sheed. You've replied twice, and have yet to give one reason to keep Sheed.
I'm very torn about this. I tend to lean towards no regardless of my personal feelings b/c i feel with Curry coming back it's a no win situation and he would lean on him much too heavily. If this can be remedied, then yes i would say if he wants to come back, i'm 100% behind it. Pro's -Fantastic with the young players -Team guy -If he comes back, he understands that we are a rebuilding team and if he can be at peace with that, he's be super valuable -Still needed -We have no one that can D up like him (that plays anyway ) -Well liked and respected among teammates; the young big guys seem to depend on him -Veteran presence; subtracting CB and LH from the situation really hurt Stuck IMO -Still can play; IMO his injury hindered him tremendously this year -Passionate -Helps my enjoyment of the team LOL -Could be fantastic for 25 or so min a night -We NEED his 3 point shooting Potential Cons -Will he be motivated? -How much money does he want? -Has he checked out on Curry? -Has he lost passion for the team? -Will he still play 35 minutes and hinder development of the young guys? -Does he want to be here? -Will he stay healthy? -Mentally available? -Has he really declined that much? -He does not bring steady leadership -His play is very dependent on team chem
If we had to ask those questions about any other mid-tier player, wouldn't that be a no brainer that it's a bad fit? It's been a bad fit for a few seasons now. I'm a HUUUUUGE Sheed fan. I have defended him as much, if not more than anyone else on this board. But the fat lady has sung, the curtain has been lifted, Sheed has been weighed and measured, and it is what it is. Let's move on. He might get a higher than average salary, and frankly, he should get it from someone who can use his talent. We'll be struggling to make the playoffs next year, and I don't think Sheed mentally checking out with 20 games left in the season is going to do anything for the Pistons or his legacy in Detroit.
Nope, not in favor of it. It's time for both parties to move on. I said the same thing at the end of last year after Sheed was exchanging pregame kisses with Garnett before KG proceeded to go out there and kick his ass all over the court. He has continued to decline immensely since then... He had a nice career in Detroit but its time.
I voted no, why would I give a reason against my vote?
Separate names with a comma.

Kinetiq Teaching
Yaskawa MotomanUpdated 10/31/2013
Kinetiq Teaching is an innovative new product that enables job shops to easily implement robotic welding with simplified teaching and reduced set-up times by allowing operators to guide the robot by hand to desired weld positions. An icon-based menu is presented on the teach pendant's color touch screen to allow the operator to define the task. Programming time is greatly reduced with the more intuitive manual positioning. The Graphic User Interface allows robot programming to be performed with minimal training. Kinetiq Teaching is designed to leverage the knowledge of welders. It enables them to move the robot welder with their hands and intuitively program welding paths by using a dedicated user-friendly teach pendant interface. No in-depth programming knowledge is required. Major challenges of robotic welding in manufacturing are related to the shortage of available welders and the difficulty of achieving a compelling ROI for smaller companies. Kinetiq Teaching changes the equation, and manufacturing companies will be able to automate welding jobs by using only their in-house welding expertise. It opens the door to robotic welding at small and medium manufacturers, with high-mix and low-volume welding. With Kinetiq Teaching, the welder moves the robotic welding tip next to a workpiece by physically hand-guiding the robot. Once the welding point is reached, the welder determines the welding parameters through a touch screen interface. After all the points are recorded, the welder can playback the programmed trajectory and modify it on-the-fly. By doing so, experienced welders will be able to set welding jobs and oversee the productivity of more than one robotic welder at a time, or train less skilled operators to program the welding robot and act as a technical adviser and a quality assurance resource.

By Nik Brumsack
Laura Harvey has paid tribute to her Arsenal Ladies squad after they became the first team to complete an unbeaten Women's Super League season.
The WSL champions, who won 10 of their 14 games, sealed the record with a 1-1 draw at second-placed Birmingham on Sunday - a result which saw them finish eight points ahead of their closest rivals.
"I thought it would be really difficult to go unbeaten this year. To do it is a fantastic achievement for the squad," Harvey told Arsenal.com.
"I think the strength in depth has played a major role, and not just the strength, but the quality of the strength we have in our squad. Even now I'd struggle to name my strongest starting 11."
"We knew last year that in the league, one defeat or one draw could mean not winning the league," Harvey added.
"This year, we went unbeaten but the league wasn't decided until the penultimate game. It just shows how tight it is. You have to set those standards, to try and go as far as possible without dropping points.
"To have won it the way we did, with the number of points we have is really pleasing, and the added bonus is that we didn't lose a game."
After retaining the WSL title, Harvey's team could do the same in the Continental Cup when they take on Birmingham at 7.00pm in Wednesday night's final at Underhilll.
Defeat against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final prevented the Ladies from defending their domestic treble of 2011 - a regret that Harvey believes has driven the team to success elsewhere.
"I think the big thing that sometimes pushes you forward is disappointment," she said.
"The disappointment of losing against Chelsea in the FA Cup drove everyone on to say we didn't want to feel that again.
"The Chelsea game was our fault because we didn't perform. We allowed a team to come and take charge of a game that should never have happened.
"I think when you have a defeat like that, the disappointment can drive you on to want to go and achieve other things."

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Nine For IX: The '99ers presented by AT&T premieres Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on ESPN. The one-hour film helps tell the story of the 1999 U.S. Soccer Women's National Team which took the world by storm with its triumph in the World Cup, that year held in the United States.
That U.S. Team featured eight Tar Heel players - seven of whom has graduated and one, Lorrie Fair, who was beginning her senior years. Other Tar Heels on the team included Tracy Noonan, Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Carla Overbeck, Cindy Parlow, Tiffany Roberts and Tisha Venturini.
The team is probably most famous for its scintillating penalty kick shootout win over China in the Rose Bowl (a packed one in fact) that clinched the gold medal.
Nine for IX, a series of ESPN features, helps celebrate the 40th anniversary of Title IX, the federal law whose affect was to open opportunities for women's soccer nationwide. Given the success of UNC's women's soccer program and its entiire women's athletics program, it's hard to imagine any of this happening without the statute.
The '99ers was directed by Erin Leyden and produced by Julie Foudy, a member of that 1999 U.S. World Cup Team.

Cardinals top NL pennant odds, World Series betting lines shift
The St. Louis Cardinals find themselves in a surprising dogfight with the Pittsburgh Pirates for first place in the NL Central standings – and in the entire Senior Circuit – heading into July, but they're atop the odds to win the NL Pennant at the sportsbooks.
A stumble over the past couple of weeks has put the Cardinals neck-and-neck with the surging Pirates in the NL Central standings, but the latest MLB futures at the sportsbooks still have St. Louis pegged as the 3/1 favorites to win the NL Pennant.
And they are not far behind in odds to win the World Series either, according to several online sportsbooks.
The Pirates, meanwhile, are back in fourth on that latest NL Pennant odds list with oddsmakers and bettors still waiting to see if they can sustain their recent high level of play.
Pittsburgh holds down 6/1 odds to win the National League Pennant, putting them behind the Cardinals, Atlanta Braves (17/4), and Cincinnati Reds (11/2) on that chart.
St. Louis has three games on deck against the Angels in Los Angeles starting on Tuesday night this week before they head back home for a three-game weekend series against the basement-dwelling Miami Marlins.
The Cardinals disappointed their supporters on the MLB betting lines when they played in Miami back in the middle of June, somehow managing to lose two of the three games to the Marlins in that span. The teams scored 38 combined runs in those contests to put up three OVER results.
Pittsburgh will be at home to face the Philadelphia Phillies in a three-game series starting on Tuesday night this week before they play the Chicago Cubs three times at Wrigley Field on the weekend.
The Pirates are 3-1 against the Phillies so far this season, and they've managed to put up a 6-3 record versus the Cubs in nine games. Seven of those nine Pirates vs. Cubs matchups turned out to be UNDER results.
Heading back to the NL Pennant odds, the Washington Nationals trail the leaders at 13/2 on those MLB futures, with the San Francisco Giants at 8/1, the Arizona Diamondbacks at 9/1, and the Los Angeles Dodgers at 10/1. The Colorado Rockies (18/1), San Diego Padres (20/1), and Philadelphia Phillies (22/1) follow that top group.
The NL Pennant longshots are the New York Mets (100/1), Chicago Cubs (200/1), and Milwaukee Brewers (200/1), with the Miami Marlins back in the basement at 1500/1.

Senior Brittany Garza, founder and president of Society of Macrina, said she recognized a disconnection among the students at the University of St. Thomas and decided to form an organization that would unite the women on campus.
The Society of Macrina, created in September 2012, seeks to promote empowerment in women through friendship, education and charity. The Society of Macrina is named after St. Macrina, a woman dedicated to living out her faith by taking care of her family and the sisters in her convent. She was also the sister of St. Basil, who UST's Chapel of St. Basil is named after, and a bell in the Chapel is named after her.
Garza said she was inspired to create the group after she read Erin Weed's "Girls Fight Back," a book about sororities and the bond of sisterhood.
"The organization aims to provide networking and a good environment for friendships to form on a deeper level," Garza said.
Garza said the Society of Macrina is focused on the development of women through faith and character, and is designed to address issues that are relevant and beneficial to women of the 21st century. The organization empowers women through charitable activities, life skills classes and Tea Time Talks.
During the month of April, the Society of Macrina will host a series of weekly events, "Series of Fashionable Events," focused on bringing authentic femininity back into fashion. Each event highlights an aspect of what it means to be a woman, how to foster beauty inside and out and how to cultivate the unique gifts encapsulated in John Paul II's concept of the "feminine genius."
Below are upcoming events to empower women.
Garza said the Society of Macrina emphasizes the importance of community involvement and aims to participate in one charity event each month. Since its launch in September, the organization has participated in the Dig Pink volleyball game, which benefited breast cancer awareness and research, and the National SleepOut, which raised awareness about homelessness. In November, the Society of Macrina hosted free self-defense classes. Garza said she plans to offer more classes in the spring, including car maintenance and makeup application classes.
Each month the organization hosts Tea Time Talks, where a female guest speaker answers questions and gives advice based on personal experiences, beliefs and life lessons. Marianne Ivany, first lady of UST, spoke in December. Garza said it was an evening of laughter and insight into motherhood.
"Mrs. Marianne Ivany challenged us to think of Mary in motherhood and her crucial role as the bearer of salvation," Garza said. "We all shared personal stories over tea and were able to relate on many levels concerning topics of family, culture, faith, career paths, and poetry."
For more information about the Society of Macrina and upcoming events, visit their Facebook page. Story by Jenna Barnes, communications student

This looks awesome! Thank you so much for all the hard work. (Also, can I say that it is funny that my Captcha is "comaid"?)ReplyDelete
Fantastic, RMJ. I love having the chance to find out what feminists all over the English-speaking world have been saying.ReplyDelete
Great job, RMJ! Thank you for linking me and FWD.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the link. The whole Polanski fiasco is a teachable feminist moment. I'm surprised at how many of my co-workers and customers (usually pretty conservative compared to me) are ready to tar and feather Polanski... most women see very clearly how a very privileged man has gotten away with raping a kid. (And why doesn't Hollywood?)ReplyDelete
Great bunch of posts ^^ Could you put a trigger warning, perhaps, on Amanda Hess's piece about the language in rape. The picture is a bit disturbing. Really interesting article though. :)ReplyDelete
Great carnival, lots of lovely reading material here. Thanks for your hard work putting it together! :DReplyDelete
What a great carnival! Thanks for putting all these really interesting posts together.ReplyDelete

I know I am probably opening a can of worms, but ...
From the new photos provided by Boba Swede, I am now positive that this is the correct method for the loop in the hip pouches.
I think that the most common interpertaion of the hip pouches hanging off the Ammo Belt is by a loop designed in the top flap. This method, Correct me if I am wrong, is derived from the Pre-production photos of the pouches.
However, I do not believe this to be the method used for ROTJ. There IS a loop that allows the hip pouches to be hung on the utility belt, but it is a separate loop. In the attached photos there is a blue strip of fabric (probably a denim) that is stitched to the back of the top flap of the pouch creating the loop. The loop is not designed into the pouch itself, but a seperate add-on.
Here we see the stitching for the added blue loop
(photos from Boba Fett Reference & Boba Swede)

One of the best presents I've ever received is a pair of silver candlesticks that Robert Venturi designed in 1984. My aunt and uncle got them for one of their anniversaries, if memory serves, and having little inclination for postmodern decorative arts, they eventually passed the candlesticks on to me.
Never has there been a finer regift.
The candlesticks sit on a side table in my living room, and I've been obsessing over them since Venturi announced his retirement this summer. The architect and his still professionally active wife and partner, Denise Scott Brown, have been heroes of mine from adolescence, when I bought a copy of Venturi's treatise, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture—mostly because I liked the pictures. The writing proved just as interesting.
Until that point, I hadn't realized that architecture could embody an idea. Feelings, sure, such as the sense of uplift I got as a kid, standing at the base of Eero Saarinen's Gateway Arch, or the solemnity that would wash over me in the sculpture hall of Cass Gilbert's St. Louis Art Museum. But fully baked intellectual concepts? In a building? Who'd have thought?
Great architecture speaks equally to the heart and mind. To hear the voice of a Venturi Scott Brown & Associates building is rather like having Oscar Wilde whisper in your ear. Venturi and Scott Brown are a rare breed: architects whose wit translates intact into built form. If you share their sense of humor—ironic, semantic, cerebral—their buildings have the capacity to make you laugh out loud.
Both Wilde and Venturi are tweakers of convention. The poet and playwright upended Victorian morality with scripts such as The Importance of Being Earnest, and he drove his points home with extremely clever wordplay—"Work is the curse of the drinking classes" being one of my favorites. Venturi, for his part, exposed the single-mindedness of postwar, corporatized Modernism in Complexity and offered a delicious alternative in 1962, in the form of the house he designed for his mother, with its miscegenistic wedding of Orthodox ribbon window and heretic pitched roof.
Venturi's famous quip "Less is a bore" intellectually justified a career's worth of such architectural conceits. He never hesitated to reuse the best ones: the split pediment, the familiar pattern applied in a strange context, the silhouette of a traditional form. One can trace a direct line from the squashed Cape Cod elevation of the Vanna Venturi House, through the Georgian silhouettes of my candlesticks, to the sequentially flattened classical façade of the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London (which Prince Charles derided as "a monstrous carbuncle"). The addition proved to be the high-point of the couple's career.
Alas, in the past decade or so, someone or other decided that the jokes were getting old. The architectural intelligentsia went looking for a shiny new paradigm, another form of complexity. And, just possibly, Venturi wore out his welcome. He and Scott Brown are true gentlefolk, but they've never backed down when they perceived a threat to the integrity of their work. During the course of their careers, they walked away from some seriously plum commissions. The commissions, perhaps as a result, started going to other talents.
Today, Frank Gehry's is the name that leaps to mind in conjunction with the phrase "America's greatest living architect." Venturi and Scott Brown are of no lesser caliber. Indeed, the two practices are flip sides of the same coin: Venturi and Scott Brown's decorated shed versus Gehry's mighty duck.
Venturi and Scott Brown have had an undeniably profound influence on the subsequent generation, even if the Herzog & de Meurons and OMAs are too hip to acknowledge their indebtedness. But then Venturi himself has an uncertain relationship with the movement he and his wife helped launch, together with their late partner Steven Izenour. Ten years ago, Venturi wrote an essay for me at Architecture with the title, "I Am Not Now and Never Have Been a Postmodernist." History will be the judge of that.
What's certain is that Venturi and Scott Brown fomented a revolution in architecture, one that reawakened the discipline to its long, proud heritage. I'll never stop learning from them, and from their candlesticks.

- How do you typically add the threaded rod / bolt on the far left greeblie to hold the cape in place?
- Should I use bolts on both sides to connect the neck plate to the back plate, or is it better to let the neck/back overlap just free-float? (eg. just held in place via attachment to the flak vest?)

Hurricane Spin
Michael Mann and Gavin Schmidt
A recent paper by Vecchi and Soden (preprint) published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters has been widely touted in the news (and some egregiously bad editorials), and the blogosphere as suggesting that increased vertical wind shear associated with tropical circulation changes may offset any tendencies for increased hurricane activity in the tropical Atlantic due to warming oceans. Some have even gone so far as to state that this study proves that recent trends in hurricane activity are part of a natural cycle. Most of this is just 'spin' (pun intended), but as usual, the real story is a little more nuanced.
We have commented on the connections between hurricanes and climate change frequently in the past (see e.g. here, here, here, and here). The bottom line conclusion has consistently remained that, while our knowledge of likely future changes in hurricanes or tropical cyclones (TCs) remains an uncertain area of science, the observed relationship between increased intensity of TCs and rising ocean temperatures appears to be robust (Figure 1). There is nothing in this latest article that changes that.
Figure 1. Measure of total power dissipated annually by tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic (the power dissipation index "PDI") compared to Aug-Oct tropical North Atlantic SST (from Emanuel, 2005; data)
The Vecchi and Soden (V+S) study suggests that increased 'vertical wind shear' in the tropical Atlantic might overcome this effect. Wind shear is related to the rate at which different layers in the atmosphere move – zero shear means that the layers all move together, large shear means that the upper layers are moving very differently to those below – and is inimical to hurricane formation and intensification. The well-known impact of El Niño on reducing Atlantic hurricane activity is in fact due to increased shear from the associated atmospheric circulation changes. The V+S results come from analysing the results of 18 different model simulations that were done for the IPCC AR4 and which now provide a superlative database for assessing what models do and do not project. It's important to be clear that these models do not resolve hurricane processes and that the analysis is related to the large scale 'background' environment in which hurricanes form. Nonetheless the idea of looking at these simulations to see what happens to that large scale environment, as V+S have done, is certainly interesting and worthwhile.

It really isn't real. I shot the ad with no intention of sending it to Guiness because of the content. IT was meant to either make people laugh or get really disgusted. I rather people felt the former because that's why it was made. Just for fun.So, Guinness is not the asshole here, this douchebag DESchatz who thinks dehumanization is "just for fun" is. Sick. And he's bragging about it and how "cheap" it was.
Oh and it only cost $320 for the ad. My equipment, 300 for the actress, and the rest for food and a six pack of Guiness [sic]
I love Guinness, so I was sincerely disappointed to see this pop up in my reader courtesy of Citizen Ojo:
In this commercial, a beer is placed in the small of a woman's back. Her body is moving rhythmically to music at what sounds like a house party, though the viewer cannot see how or why it is moving. Other than the horizontal jiggling of her back, she does not move - her hair stays stationary, and the angles of her body do not change, indicating that she is holding her position. What looks to be three male hands come out and take the beer and replace it, one after another - one comes from the direction of her feet, one from her head, and one from below. The text at the end reads "Share one with a friend. Or two."
The woman in this commercial is constructed not as human, or as worthy of respect. This woman is constructed as furniture - without limbs, or a head, or digits. She's not a body - she's a disembodied, decontextualized, less than fully human body part. The woman in this commercial is just a groove in which to place one's beer. She does not enjoy the beer herself, or take part in any of the revelry. She is dehumanized to the point where she is just a surface.
This disembowelment of any kind of identity on the woman's part is completed by the end text. The woman in the commercial is not one of the friends being shared with. There are three men in the commercial, and they are the friends. At best, this woman is what they gather around; at worst, she's the one being shared.
Furthermore, the sexual overtones in this commercial make me really uncomfortable. Why is this woman's body moving the way it is? What is the relation of these men to this woman? Why is there a man in back, in front, and below her? She's clearly not agent in whatever sexual activities are going on - her body is not moving, but rather being moved. She's a passive recipient of actions - a surface to place beer upon, someone who is receiving action from behind, from her front, from below.
This reads as rape to me. She's not agent in anything - she's a body part that's being moved and being acted upon. She's being shared. She is not sharing her body - men are sharing her, without any visible respect for her wishes or bodily integrity.
I've been reading a lot about agency on the part of women who are constructed as sexual in pornography and other sexual imagery, but this is not a case where feminism is doing the dehumanization. This woman has nothing at all beyond the small of her back and her hair - she does not have a face, or legs, or arms. She has nothing beyond that small space, used exclusively by men. It's another entry in the long and sorry history of degraded women in beer advertisements.

We just saw a million disarmed sheep huddling in their homes with the doors locked waiting for their shepards to come save them.
We just saw a million disarmed sheep huddling in their homes with the doors locked waiting for their shepards to come save them. Not saying that I would be playing vigilante out looking for trouble---or should be! Just saying I like being secure in my home with the means, knowledge and the will to defend what is dear to me. My Grandson just assumed that the crosswalk guard was protecting him and walked out and got ran over. Thank God he had a car actually run over his legs and just got bruised not broken. When I told him that Only He can protect himself and be vigilant in traffic, his city folk parents blew up like toads and declared that it was all the crossing guards fault. God help us. We obviously are no longer able to help ourselves.
Chris Wallace is going to be interviewing Creepy Diane Feinstein on "Fox News Sunday". He said he will be asking her about the Boston situation. "Would you deny these people the right to be able to defend themselves?" If she knows now, he will be asking such a question, will she find a reason to not show? Or is she having her crew brainstorm for some ridiculous leftist answer?
Now I want to know is Congress going to do something about civilian ownership of backpacks and pressure cookers. We have no constitutional rights to have these products. Before you laugh, look at what the shoe bomber did in everyone having to let their shoes get checked at the airports.
But then maybe pressure cookers are now going to be classified as "arms"?
... ask my husband. he'll tell you that anything ...made in my kitchen is potentially a WMD :evil:
That is another thing that baffles me. It's not like the NRA represents some big corporate interests, like the pharmaceutical companies or the agri-chemical companies, it represents citizens who are concerned about their rights. The left always acts like the NRA is this evil organization that is subverting democracy with some other agenda, when actually it only has clout because it has members who vote and an organization to communicate their concerns.

Sunscreen Safety
Most children get 50-80% of their lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18, so it is important that parents and caregivers teach kids how to use sunscreen correctly. With the right precautions, you can help reduce your child's chance of developing skin cancer later in life.
For babies under 6 months of age: If necessary use sunscreen on small areas of the body such as the face and backs of their hands and have them wear a protective hat as well. More importantly, time to avoid prolonged sun exposure.
For babies older than 6 months: Apply sunscreen to all areas of the body and be careful around the eyes. Try to use a PABA free sunscreen
Make sure you choose a broad spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher, that also protects against both UVA and UVB rays. If your child has sensitive skin look for a product with the active ingredient with the active ingredient titanium dioxide which is a chemical free sunblock.
For sunscreen to be effective it must be applied correctly. Don't try to stretch out a bottle of sunscreen, apply it generously.
Apply sunscreen about 15 - 30 minutes before your kids go outside, so that you have a good layer of protection to start off with. Don't forget about their lips, ears and the back of the neck.
Make sure you reapply sunscreen often, approximately every 2 hours as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology. Reapply more frequently after your child has been sweating or swimming.
Keep in mind that all children need sun protection. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all kids - regardless of their skin tone wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Arsène Wenger has confirmed that Ryo Miyaichi will be in the Arsenal squad that travels to Asia and says the teenager could force his way into the first team next season.
The Japanese forward turned heads with some impressive performances while on loan at Feyenoord last term and has linked up with his new team-mates at London Colney this week as they kicked off their preparations for the new campaign.
After seeing Miyaichi at close quarters, Wenger says he will include the 18-year-old in the travelling party that leaves for Asia on Sunday.
"He is on the plane because he is quality," the Frenchman told Arsenal.com. "We want to give him a chance to show his quality and I think everybody will be curious to see him play in Asia.
"I rate him personally [and] it's a good opportunity for him to show that he has the talent to play for Arsenal Football Club. He has an opportunity to show that [he is good enough for the first team].
"He has done extremely well at Feyenoord and we have so many good reports. It will be interesting to see him play."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made it clear his nation would not be bullied by the West and intended to be completely in charge of its own territory as well as its foreign affairs. He made it clear to the Britsh government that the British Council which promotes cultural and education ties is closed down for failing to obtain legal authorization to function. Lavrov was also critical of US plans for missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic which Russia views as a direct threat to its own defenses. London believes the action against the Council is a response to the dispute which arose between the two nations following the 2006 murder in London of Alexander Litvinenko, a Russian dissident. It is still unclear exactly what is the crime of the Council except in being British.
Lavov went on to denounce European and American decisions to support the aspirations of Kosovo for independence from Serbia. In addition to its close ties with Serbia, the Russian government is generally opposed to separatist movements, particularly since so many areas of the former Soviet Union left to become independent nationsl. One wonders if George Bush still believes after gazing into the eyes of President Putin he saw a man with whom he could negotiate.

It's begun. I've been planning this for a little over a week now and today I began the long journey in creating a full set of Boba armour, starting with the helmet! Boy was I in for a treat, using finger muscles I didn't know existed and getting cramp in my elbow while cutting the pieces with imense concentration. It took me a couple of attempts to get my foot off the ground but things are coming along now.
As a reference for anyone who may be interested, I will try and explain what I can about the process I followed. I've been using these two threads by Antman among others as a rough guide to get my scratch build going. They can be found here; Truly inspirational!
And the templates I am using are the WOF blueprints;
I started by cutting out the inner surface part (long section on the right), then I proceeded to cut out the top base that will ultimately be used to support the 'dome'.
I then used a misting bottle to spray the inner side of the buckets shape and then spent around 45 minutes gently shaping and bending my inner surface into shape. As you can see, I then clipped it, top and bottom, and let it dry in place.
This next bit was quite tricky. Once my inner surface dried, I then glued it around my top base (not very well mind). I used normal white glue then a glue gun to re-enforce the inside and like antman I added extra support shown in this photo.
A bit messy inside but it is setting nicely, yipee! I then went on to cut the outer piece out (more finger and arm cramp) and bent that piece into shape. I will then glue this to the inner surface you see above once dried. I took a photo of the 'mask' but the lighting was bad so I'll take one tomorrow.
So! I'm sure many of you are a familiar with this process but I wanted to share and document my progress for my reference and others if it is at all useful. Not a lot to show yet but I've made a healthy start
More updates in the coming days!

Take advantage of Sinatra, the Ruby-based web application library and domain-specific language used by Heroku, GitHub, Apple, Engine Yard, and other prominent organizations. With this concise book, you will quickly gain working knowledge of Sinatra and its minimalist approach to building both standalone and modular web applications.
Sinatra serves as a lightweight wrapper around Rack middleware, with syntax that maps closely to functions exposed by HTTP verbs, which makes it ideal for web services and APIs. If you have experience building applications with Ruby, you'll quickly learn language fundamentals and see under-the-hood techniques, with the help of several practical examples. Then you'll get hands-on experience with Sinatra by building your own blog engine.

Comments about oreilly Sinatra: Up and Running:
This book is a good-quality introduction to Sinatra. It holds your hand through setting up a micro-frameworked website or webservice, explaining routing, templating engines and middleware.It is not a cookbook or reference work; just a solid introduction. Expect no more of it than that.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good reference for all levels
By Maricris, a well seasoned RoR enthusiast

The organization of the contents are easy chunks of information. The description are very clear and easy to follow. This will be a good reference to always come back to when you are working with Sinatra.
Excellent - highly recommended
By Ian Oxley
from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
Sinatra Up and Running is a good read both for web developers who want to start building web applications with Sinatra, and for experienced Ruby developers who want to learn how Sinatra works under the covers.The book is organised with the above in mind, making it easy to find the information you need. The first part covers the basics of Sinatra, and focuses on giving you the knowledge you'll need to start writing your own Sinatra powered web applications. Part two gets more technical, and looks at how Sinatra works under the covers, how you can write your own helpers and extensions, how Sinatra can be used as Rack middleware, and you can use it to create modular applications. The final part ties everything together and walks the reader through creating a Sinatra powered blog.I enjoyed reading Sinatra: Up and Running. It's well written, and full of code samples to help give you a better understanding of the concepts discussed. If you're looking for a book on Sinatra then I'd recommend this one without hesitation.
Quite Good
By CrashTheuniversE
That's a concise explanation about Sinatra and a refreshing reference of other concepts you may need if you want to pick it up quickly and start producing. Sinatra itself is meant for that, and the book is a quick introduction you will read in a few hours and then come back to it for at least a few days while working through your fresh code. I enjoyed that, although I hope they will expand it in the future in new releases, covering maybe one or two more specific examples with real applications references. Then it would even better, but I feel like 5 stars is appropriate right now

Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, murder and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury.[1] Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. There is no convincing scientific evidence that suggests consciousness survives the death of an organism

text: With the movie about to be released, I am remembering a lot of skaters that skated to Les Miserable. The most recent one seems to be Yu na Kim, and I think she will do great once the program has developed. I did not want to set up a poll with this, because many of the skates to this music are quite old, and not so familiar. Others that I liked (I will look for yt links later; can't do it at work): A young Michelle Kwan skating an exhibition to LM- may be 1996? Paul Wylie - pro I think Katarina Witt skated to it as a pro. Nicole Bobek had an LP to a LM medley sometime around 1993. For some reason I can't think of any pairs or dance teams skating to this. I am sure there are some. I hope the movie will inspire many of today's skaters to skate to LM.

Thinking About Joining One of Our Chapters?
Did You Know?
- There are over 9 million fraternity and sorority members nationally
- All but 2 Presidents since 1825 have been members of fraternities
- 78% of members of the U.S. Congress have been members of fraternities and sororities
- 63% of U.S. President's cabinet members since 1900 have been members of fraternities and sororities
- Nearly half of US Supreme Court Justices have been members of fraternities and sororities
- 85% of Fortune 500 Executives have been members of fraternities and sororities.
As you can see, by joining a fraternity or sorority, you will become a member of a prestigious group of individuals!
Information for Potential New Members
How to Join
When you decide to go Greek at San José State University, there are a few different opportunities for you join a fraternity or a sorority. Formal and Informal Recruitment is managed at the beginning of each Fall and Spring semester, depending on the governing council. For the most part, Panhellenic Council sororities only conduct formal recruitment in the Fall, but do recruit in the Spring, if House Totals are not met. Traditionally, National Pan-Hellenic and United Sorority and Fraternity Council fraternities and sororities recruit in the Spring, but a few of their affiliated organizations recruit in the Fall. Interfraternity Council fraternities recruits during both semesters. All recruitment periods are substance-free, meaning that no chapter (regardless of whether they are recruiting or not) may host or participate in a recruitment event where alcohol and other drugs are being used. Student-specific information about recruitment can be found through the governing council websites, or from this website just prior to the opening of both recruitment periods.
Statement on Unrecognized Organizations
Being part of a fraternity or sorority can be one of the most rewarding experiences a student can have while at college. Unfortunately, there are some groups that are not affiliated with the University that utilize the enticement of this experience to recruit student members. We strongly discourage students from attending events or affiliating with any group that is not officially recognized by SJSU. Before joining any club or organization, please check our Directory of Student Organizations to verify that the organization is officially recognized and operating within University parameters.
The following chapters have been SUSPENDED by San José State University or their national office for hazing, violence, or inappropriate chapter management practices, or have Cease and Desists issued against them, within the past few years and are not recognized:
