Re: Georgia Livaboards Org
It is a bummer that GA has come to enforceing the outdated statue ... but doo doo does happen ... so it is time to be creative, on the south end of the state (FL/GA) we just anchor in the florida side of the river ... try doing the same there scince the savannah river is the dividing line ... then you have a good court case of jurisdiction if they get to pushy ... just a thought
Re: Georgia Livaboards Org
Someone asked how this law became ... after chatting with the DNR boys at brunswick here is the answer to that question ... Back when the freeway was being put in ... i would assume the 60's or 70's they sold the barges to a lot of different people that were used to transport equip and parts ... so hence a lot of people decided to put shacks and such on the barges and take up residence ... the pollution on the river areas, I think the Satilla was mentioned, got so bad that this is how the government took action.....
they not only targeted the people on the barges but also all the stilt houses along the rivers to deal with the dumping of untreated sewage in the waterways .... or at least this is what I found out so far.
As to the public opinion poll ... it does not matter what you feel ... this is a bad law and the state looses money all the time because of it, but you have to realize that you are not dealing with people that are very intelligent with the boaters needs ... you can not fight city hall is a old saying that comes to mind, everyone knows it very well, but did you ever read the next passage after that, " but you can sure doo doo on the the doorstep" ...
target the city and state officials and you may get something changed .... the bit with you need to apply or a permit now that is just plain stupid, and we thought Florida was getting bad, some of it is rubbing off on Georgia now .... time to find a place with less B.S. .... wish me luck, I will probaly need it!!!!!
Re: Georgia Livaboards Org
Good News!
The State of Georgia has just modified the Live-Aboard rule so that it will be legal and practical to say on board your boat in Georgia for more than 30 days. A rule change will allow boaters to fill out a simple form to receive permission to be onboard for up to one year in Georgia so long as the boat is docked at a marina that meets the states minimum requirements for pump-out facilities. Isle of Hope Marina and just a couple of other marinas currently meet those standards, but I expect that other marinas will upgrade their facilities to take advantage of this rule change. I am heading a committee that will be working with the DNR to finalize the application form in the next few weeks. The rule change will be effective January 1, 2012 . i just found this on the web. it doese not mean that local DNR will stop hurassing. i am interested in attending your meeting this month, if you could email me the time and place. my email address is email@example.com i myself am moving back to the water aand plan to spend 4-6 months in Ga. there are other states trying to enforce such laws but in some cases the federal and corp of engineers have overruled. look forward to attending your meeting

As of January 1, 2012, if you wish to stay aboard your boat in a marina with sewage pump out facilities for longer than 30 days, you may apply for an extension beyond the 30 days. The notice doesnt seem to have any limit on the length of time you can stay aboard, just the regulations relating to the boat and also to the marina you have to have a mechanism to secure your holding tank, the marina has to have adequate pump-out facilities, etc.

8. The applicant states the reasons for requesting the extension and the period of time for which the extension is requested.
9. The Commissioner, in his or her sole discretion, may grant or deny any request for an extension of time to occupy a live-aboard.
10. The Commissioner, in his or her sole discretion, may consider requests for extensions that do not meet this Rule if the applicant shows extraordinary and extenuating circumstances.
|There's some pretty places in GA. This change is long overdue! We'd heard rumors about this while we were passing through in Nov. - thanx for posting the link.

|This is not a local municipality but a state law applicable to lakes, rivers and the coast. The only people forced out of their boats are in Chatham County. This is strange. I think the law was put in place to deal with homeless on rafts living on the Altamaha River. Now the DNR wants to run a few boat owners out of a bend in one tidal creek in Savannah area? Why are no evictions occurring in Brunswick where the Coastal Resources DNR office is located? I think someone must have some connections to the department and was tired of seeing some of the boats that sit at anchor there year round. It is incredible to interpret the law to make it impossible for marina owners to allow liveaboards. How can someone paying for a slip and pumping out without dumping in the rivers be a hazard to the marshlands of coastal georgia?
This should work:
Living Aboard Forums: Georgia Liveaboards Org

David...one thing I noted on the first link is the misconception that states cannot regulate anchoring by live-aboards and citing the Marco Island suit as an example. The feds have ceded to the states the right to regulate inland and coastal waters on such matters. The Marco Island decision was rendered because the STATE law was changed to allow the LOCAL Marco Ordinance to be defeated in court. There was nothing federal about the case...and it may be overturned in the future if the state law is changed again. The key in Florida based on FLORIDA's law is to claim that you are NOT a live-aboard..but rather a full time cruiser.
Vessels in navigation cannot be hindered in their traditional anchoring rights UNDERWAY.
The GA situation seems quite different since it seems to apply to both docked and at anchor boats.
Thanks to all for getting into this discussion no matter what side you are on.
Re: Turner Creek.. Yes it is "navigable waters" up to the bridge at Johnny Mercer Blvd. However, in my research, fed regs only trump state in the case of anchoring (eg: Marcus Island Desc) questions.
Re: Further discussion of circumstances: There is a thread posted at
giving the facts as we know them. Sorry to point to another forum, but as the galiveaboards.org board is now up, we are trying to get the discussions going there and don't have time to post to every question on all the liveaboard boards. (Sorry the above is not a clickable link, but we don't have enough posts)
However, we will continue to monitor these threads as we started them, and thank you for your interest.
|Capt David, Please give us a clear understanding of the manner in which the "six were forced to abandon their homes" or the others were "busted" . It would be important when sharing your concerns that you indentify if these were responses to the legal notice; a verbal advice of authority; a served order; a citation; an armed escort and what type and level of authority was involved. I too am very concerned about what is happening in Georgia and I am not making light of your ordeal, but please give us an accurate report beyond "forced" and "busted". Thanks, 'Aythya crew

|i ride a bobber-style sportster with downturned bars and for me - although i too was taught to push the side of the bars you want to turn to its so much more natural for me to think about pulling the bar on the other side. it does the same thing, dropping the weight of the bike into the inside of the turn... maybe its just my forward position i dunno but when i think push i feel so far forward on the bike into the turn....

I'd love to get another bike one day but it'd probably be something like an FZ8 or FZ1. I think they're a good compromise between sport and touring.

It's so simple once you get it. He raises his right hand, you push the left bar and the bike tilts under you and initiates the turn to the left (his right). It should become a subconscious technique very quickly in a motorcycle riding career.

Depending on how steep and how much width you have to work with, you may add a sort of "hop" to your transition when doing a braking turn as described so well by Snowolf.
It is almost like the hop feeling you get when carving but you will actually need to jump a bit.
An example that comes to mind is dropping a chute with a long board, where it is too chopped up for me to straightline it out.
I pick my 3 turn spots to get out of the chute, which are on the banks, and come in fast on an edge, do the braking turn but replace the "brake" with a "hop" right after I am past halfway in the turn.
My momentum has already turned so I intentionally hop to get my board around with the result being a tighter turning radius at speed.

Okay, where you are at in your progression, do not worry too much about doing real carved turns. You need to stick with your skidded turns and start making them more dynamic. The way these riders are able to go straight down the steeper runs under control, is they are making a lot of very short radius dynamic skidded turns. They use the skidding as braking to maintain their speed.
To make what I call a "braking turn", you will add an extra amount of force on the tail of the board at the apex of your turn to deliberately skid the tail of the board. To get comfortable with this technique, pick a run that you are comfortable going down straight lining. As you are riding, initiate your turns correctly using the front foot to torsionally twist your board, engaging the side cut. Follow through with the rear foot once the turn is established.
For the sake of this example, let`s assume you are now on your heel edge. Now, when you board reaches the apex or high point of your turn (say about a 45 degree angle to the fall line)forcefully, extend you rear leg to push the tail of the board out away from you, causing a good skid and a spray of snow. At full extension, bring the board back under you and initiate a toe side turn. Again, at about the 45 degree point, extend your rear leg forcefully to push the board out behind you in an aggressive skid and a spray of snow.
Keep doing this and try to tighten the turns up so it becomes a real quick rhythm back and forth with shallower turns.
|I Want To Eat Your Brains!
|The purpose of counter steer is to force lean on a bike / motorcycle. On a motorcycle at highspeed, when you lean, it does not provide enough force to cause the bike to lean enough because of the gyroscopic effect. So thats why you use counter steering to force a lower lean while turning. On snowboards? Your body is able to lean anyway you like to. You can distribute the weight to either edge easier. So there is no point to use counter steering to initiate a turn on a snowboard. Just lean because you CAN! Not so on a motorcycle because of the weight ratio between you and the bike are like 1:3. You only have control of 1/4 of the total weight. That's why bicycles doesn't require counter steering most of the time because you weight alot more than the bike... So how much weight do you control of on a snowboard? ALL OF IT!
The bike analogy is alright for the purpose of showing that a turn should be initiated with the front foot, because a bicycle cannot turn with its front wheel off of the ground.
However, as others have said, bicycles use countersteering to initiate turns. The problem with trying to tell people about this is that it isn't something you often do consciously on a bike, you just do it. When I was getting my motorcycle license, however, I really became aware of countersteering. The basic premise is that in order to turn a motorcycle, you need to lean in the direction of the turn. The problem is you can't just start leaning to one side or you're going to crash; the bike can't stay upright. To initiate a right turn on a motorcycle by leaning, you first push on the right hand grip to steer the front wheel to the left. At this point, you begin to lean to the right, and then finally apply pressure to the left hand grip to keep the front wheel pointed in the desired direction (to the right because you're turning right).
A decent explanatory video, although countersteering can occur at speeds well below 15 mi/hr, contrary to what the gentleman says: YouTube - Swerve Technique on Motorcycle (Countersteering)
This one is sort of a lame explanation, as anyone who has taken a basic physics class knows that "centrifugal force" is a fictional force. Watch the low-speed demonstration though: YouTube - Slow-speed countersteering
Countersteering occurs when you are on a bicycle also, but it's less noticeable because the bicycle has much less inertia than the motorcycle. The bicycle is much easier to lean than the motorcycle, but a slight press on the right handlebar is still the best way to initiate a right turn.
|Correct, you steer right to pitch the bike left with a motorcycle, and on hard ground with mountain bikes or whatever where the rear end is not fish tailing, same thing for a tight turn.

Tracing your roots
NH storytellers share insights on recording family histories
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News | October 12. 2013 1:13AM
Amherst filmmaker and writer Darren Garnick's grandfather, Abraham Robert Tubin, aka "Grandpa Bob," as a young man. COURTESY (COURTESY)
Those are the basic facts.
But it's the details - how they saw the movie while evacuated to Houston because of Hurricane Katrina, how they spent the movie smooching and fell in love - that make that date a story. Their story.
Chaney, 36, who now lives in West Chesterfield, said she's fond of sharing these stories and those of her clan with her daughter. One of the ways she shares them: in a book her mother and grandmother started that is chock full of photos and lore - an illustrated family history.
"It's awesome. Especially now that I'm a mom, I have a tangible history to show Milly, when she gets older, of where she came from. "
It's the little details of endings and beginnings - why does my sister like pearls?; why does Grandma save rubber bands?; what's with Grandpa's alligator-chasing-Santa Claus wall hangings? - that identify not just a family but each of the individuals who comprise it.
"And we start to tell those stories. Those stories get passed down in stories, and they have a tendency to reaffirm an identity: 'This is the smart one. ... This is the one that's always tripping over his own feet.' So family stories have a sort of function."
Amherst writer and filmmaker Darren Garnick, whose job generally involves collecting and telling other people's stories, at one point in his career decided to compile his own family's fascinating old stories so they wouldn't become lost to time.
Grandpa Bob lives on in "Don't Call Me Abe."
"He died a few years ago," Garnick said, "and that really illustrates the importance of capturing those family stories because we can all watch the video and smile and see the stories. I see the value of it in the film."
It's that sense that when a family's storyteller goes, so go the stories that underscores how critical it is to capture the stories when you can, said Lauretta Phillips, a member of the New Hampshire Storyteller Alliance. In an effort to preserve family stories, Phillips started a program in which she travels to various assisted-living centers to record the stories of elderly residents.
The way to do that, Phillips said, is to ask something specific: When did you get your first pair of dress shoes? Have you ever owned a ball gown? What was the dress you wore to the prom?
Embrace the story
"Memories are embedded in places," said Radner, the Maine storyteller. "If you ask somebody to tell you a story, they go blank. They tend to think it should be like Faulkner - you know, something finished and polished. Often there isn't enough in that request to attach things to. But if you say, 'Do you remember the first house you lived in?' or, 'The neighborhood you lived in as a child - can you tell me about it?,' they walk into that world."
Be prepared: Not all of the memories will be happy. Some might be tragic. But even those might include instances of humor and human tenderness.
"It's important to tell stories about the history of the family, even if the history has been bad," she said. "If you come from a long line of horse thieves, if the family has suffered reversals and loss and so on - to tell those stories means, 'We've survived.'"

Things that make you go "hmmm"
This has been an extremely busy week for yours truly — school has started and the curriculum for the Python for Web Development class is being finalized (class starts on the 20th for students at Alternative Family Education in Santa Cruz, and the loaner laptops have all had new installs of CrunchBang because, well, I'm the teacher) — and nothing terribly exciting jumped out in the FOSS realm that needed my immediate attention.
This is not to say nothing happened, of course, but not one topic will dominate the pixels on the screen you're reading. But a couple of things popped up on the radar, like . . . .
Intel to Canonical — Go to hell: Phoronix reported Saturday that "the mainline Intel Linux graphics driver has reverted the patch to support XMir — the X11 compatibility layer for the Mir Display Server in Ubuntu Linux." Hmmm. That seems to be a very quick 180 by the chipmaking giant which interestingly, as it turns out, is heavily invested in Wayland. From a practical standpoint, it just looks like Canonical is going to have to do the work itself; Alan Pope said something to this effect when he tweeted, "It just means more work for us (Canonical) to keep integrating xmir patches into x with each release/update." But the subtext, as far as I can see, is that Intel is saying this to Canonical: You want to go your own way? Fine. Do your own work, and good luck. Maybe Ubuntu's walled garden isn't looking so good after all.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why: Well, he knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. Yes, the previous sentences just scream out begging on bended knee for an NSA joke, but I'm not making it here (see, guys?). But I'm really talking about the jolly one in red — Santa Claus — who will not share a name with the Fedora 20 relase. The Fedora Project community has voted and F20 and the winner is Heisenbug, though I personally gave high ranking in range voting to Santa the Christmas Guy. Nevertheless, Fedora has released the schedule for F20: The alpha goes out in a little over a month on Sept. 17, beta on Oct. 22 with the final release scheduled for Nov. 26.
A must read: Bruce Schneider in The Guardian. Nothing else to say here, just read it.
One more thing: An interesting discussion is currently taking place in the LXer.com discussion forum regarding Katherine Noyes' articles and how she quotes the same people repeatedly. I'm not going to add anything that I haven't said already in this thread, but I think the original poster is right. I read Katherine's items often, and I'm going to ask: Please, Katherine, mix it up a little bit and ask more people — different people — for their opinions.
Felton LUG meets in about an hour. See some of you there.

Murad's Hybrid Face PrimersSaturday, July 17, 2010
I know what you're thinking... This Christine girl must really, really love primers, because she's constantly reviewing them! Well, it just happens that a few have come out recently, and when offered a chance to try them out, what is a beauty addict to say?
Anyways, Murad has released a great line of 4 new "Hybrids", meaning they're not quite makeup, but not quite skincare either. Instead, these products do some of each! For example, these face primers contain hydroxy acids and Sodium Hyaluronate for holding moisture to the skin.
The primers come in 2 different version, Matte or Dewy. Obviously pick the version that you want your skin to me, which for me this time of year is Matte. The primers are both a "universal color" which means for me they are a nude foundation color that is actually about 6 shades darker than my skin. It doesn't seem to matter however, since I don't really notice that is provides any coverage. It applies easily and blends in well, and I can't see it on my skin once it is on. I do think that it creates a great base for my makeup to go over it, and my pores are a bit less noticeable. Perhaps most notable is the mattifying effect. While I'm not incredibly matte (like I am when I use MoM on my face), there is about a 75% decrease in my shine factor, which is pretty impressive considering the heat and humidity we've been experiencing this month in the midwest. The end result is a more natural look than with MoM (which can make me look a bit too matte, which is also not a good thing), so I definitely do like this primer.
I have to confess that I have the dewy primer as well, but haven't felt that I need added dewy factor for my complexion this summer. I'm saving that one for the winter, when my combination skin veers toward the dry side and a bit of dewy will be much appreciated. I'll update on how I like that primer then.

what is MoM?ReplyDelete
Oooh, I've already starred this on blogger. I've been looking for a good mattifying primer to use with my MMU and this sounds perfect!ReplyDelete
I'm a fan of primers! I think the packaging on these is just gorgeous! Did you find that they were too damp or didn't dry quickly enough for your liking?ReplyDelete
MoM is Milk of Magnesia. You can read more about using it as a super mattifying primer Here. It definitely works, and is very cheap. However, it is pretty powerful stuff and can dry out the skin or make your face look like a desert. Use with caution!
I love it, perfect for this humid weather we're having right now!
SSC- I didn't find it was too damp. It feels just like a very light foundation and dried pretty much immediately, which I loved.
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

I am an EFL Teacher, and I have been asked by one student I teach privately to help him distinguish between "long vowels" and "reduced long vowels". He needs to be able to do this for a course he is studying which leads to an examination.
I have never taught this and don´t know what they are. Please could someone help me with some examples, preferably minimal pairs, and any tips on teaching this?
The course is "That's English" which has been created by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science in collaboration with the BBC. There is an exercise on the level 7 course CD-ROM which requires the students to put "long vowels" and "reduced long vowels" in the correct category.
Thanks in advance!

On 31 May 2012 Cardiff Confucius Institute hosted a Mandarin assessor training course for WJEC as part of their accredited QCF language qualifications programme. The programme, led by WJEC assessor Sylvie Gartau, enables school children to take accredited short courses in one of six languages – French, Mandarin, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese – which could qualify towards the language component of the Welsh Baccalaureate. Cardiff and Lampeter Confucius Institutes have been delivering Mandarin Welsh Baccalaureate programmes to school children for four years and have been invited by WJEC to act as a partner for the Mandarin component of this programme.
One of the trainee assessors is Xiamen University's language teacher Li Xiaofen who is currently based at Cardiff Confucius Institute. She attended the first assessors training programme: "The Mandarin assessor training is the first step toward the promotion of Mandarin provision across Wales and prepares the future assessors with standardised assessment decisions. Take Mandarin as an example. Learners may begin from Entry level, or those with some basic Chinese skills may start with Level 1 or Level 2. Each unit is equivalent to either one credit (10 learning hours) or two credits (20 learning hours). Each spoken unit comprises 10 learning hours and is equivalent to one credit and each written unit comprises 20 learning hours and is equivalent to 2 credits. One or two credits are required for each Award."
WJEC encourages tutors to make language learning a fun and enjoyable process and aspects of delivery were discussed at the training day. It is crucial for tutors to come up with interesting classroom activities to help learners learn faster and better and be able to use what they have learned in actual situations. All WJEC Qualifications in Languages units are internally assessed and externally moderated. By assessing learning in small, bite-sized steps—the units and awarding credit for qualifications, WJEC hopes that more and more people in Wales will be enthused, engaged and motivated to learn foreign languages
The Confucius Institutes for Wales have been working closely with WJEC and Cilt Cymru to partner in the development of Mandarin language programmes for schools in Wales.
Sylvie Gartau (WJEC) leads the Mandarin Assessors training day.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - The University of North Carolina women's swimming and diving team moved up three spots in the team standings Thursday at the 2013 ACC Championships being held at the Greensboro Aquatics Center.
"Tonight we started to turn the corner, but we have a long way to go to meet our own expectations," said UNC head coach Rich DeSelm. "Tomorrow's sessions are critical for us as we have some great entries and opportunities to help our cause. We are in an unusual spot and will need some incredible teamwork and personal resolve to reach our goals."
With one-third of the meet finished (7 of 21 events), Carolina is in sixth place with 113 points, six points ahead of seventh place Duke. Defending conference champion Virginia leads the field with 309 points followed in second place by Florida State with 177. NC State and Virginia Tech are tied for third with 166 points and Miami is fifth with 159. North Carolina (113), Duke (107), Georgia Tech (79), Boston College (62) and Clemson (8) round out the team standings.
The Tar Heels began the night with a fifth-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay. A relay that consisted of three freshmen and a senior touched in 1:31.25. Hannah Lincoln led off the relay in 23.17, followed by senior co-captain Katie Nolan in 22.54, Ally Hardesty in 23.04 and Lauren Earp in 22.50. " We had some nice splits on the 200 free relay," DeSelm said, "especially Katie Nolan's and Lauren Earp's 22.5's."
The best event of the night for Carolina was the 500-yard freestyle as six Tar Heel swimmers finished among the Top 17 in the event. Sophomore Danielle Siverling and senior Jackie Rudolph were Carolina's top finishers in sixth and seventh place with times of 4:46.21 and 4:46.88, respectively. In the consolation final, freshman Annie Harrison placed 12th in a season best 4:50.05, freshman Emma Nunn was 15th in 4:52.10 and sophomore Kelsey Cummings was 16th in 4:56.60. Junior Meredith Hoover won the "C" final for the Tar Heels and placed 17th overall with a time of 4:52.07, just off her career best time of 4:51.76.
"We were led by Danielle Siverling and Jackie Rudolph in the 500 freestyle. Danielle made an early commitment and was in position to race with the top group," commented DeSelm. "Although she faded, her early speed bodes well for her shorter races Friday and Saturday. Jackie had a career best in the prelims and, while a bit slower in the finals, finished with her second best 500 tonight. In the consolation final, Annie Harrison led our efforts with a great commitment from start to finish."
Junior Cari Blalock had Carolina's best individual finish of the night, taking fifth place in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:58.49, just .62 of a second off her career best. "Junior Cari Blalock fought hard against a great field," DeSelm added. Freshman Rachel Canty won the bonus consolation heat and placed 17th overall in a career best time of 2:02.06 (previous best was 2:02.32) while Danielle Jansen was 19th in a season best 2:03.25 and Rebecca Brooks was 20th in 2:03.27.
Carolina's top finisher in the 50-yard freestyle was freshman Hannah Lincoln, who won the consolation heat and placed ninth overall, taking almost a half second off her previous career best time. Lincoln clocked a 22.68 to erase her previous personal best of 23.08 set in the preliminaries. Freshman Lauren Earp was 15th in 23.25 and freshman Ally Hardesty was 16th in 23.47 as all three swimmers who scored in the event for Carolina were first-year swimmers.
Lincoln's time vaulted her into fifth place on Carolina's all-time Top 10 list in the event behind only Rebecca Kane, Richelle Fox, Christy Watkins and Kelsey Morrissy. "Hannah Lincoln highlighted the 50 free for us with an outstanding effort," said DeSelm. "She is awesome underwater and is refining her race. She crushed her lifetime best time with her 22.68 time."Action will continue on Friday at the Greensboro Aquatics Center with the preliminary session at 11 a.m. and finals at 7 p.m.

The two men charged with starting Saratoga Springs' Dump Fire in June have pleaded no contest to reduced charges.
Idaho resident Kenneth Nielsen, 37, and Jeffrey Conant, 42, of Washington state, were originally charged in 4th District Court with reckless burning, a class A misdemeanor, and using prohibited targets, a class B misdemeanor.
On Monday, they both submitted documents to Judge Samuel McVey in which they each pleaded no contest to the class B misdemeanor count.
According to the documents, the pleas were part of a deal in which prosecutors agreed to drop the reckless-burning charges, and won't request jail time at sentencing.
The two men each agreed to pay $5,000 in restitution.
McVey sentenced both men on Monday, suspending a six-month jail sentence for each, on condition that they complete one year of probation and pay the entire $5,000 in restitution, plus interest.
The Dump Fire burned 5,507 acres and cost $2.1 million to extinguish.
Charging documents state that Nielsen and Conant were target shooting near Saratoga Springs at 11:30 a.m. on June 21 when an explosive target ignited dry weeds and spread, burning the mountainside, court documents state.
Fire investigators discovered packaging linked to an explosive target the men used during their shooting session. A fingerprint on the packaging was traced to Nielsen, court documents state.
The blaze forced about 2,500 residents to evacuate from nearly 600 homes in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain. It also left the city with a barren hillside, which led to massive debris flows and flooding that damaged several homes in early September.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Mark V, Jun 30, 2013.
I hope this doesn't mean we cut Kenny.
Is he really that valuable to the team?
It makes more sense to me to save the cap space and use that as a premium but to each his own.
Like Stuckey.
LOL...well done!
Joe re-signing Tay and Stuckey to those damned contracts that he gave them prior to the lockout season 2 years ago built up enough "goodwill" for the next 40 years among their NBA colegues. There is no freaking way that the average card-carrying NBAPA member looks at the Pistons as rip-off artists. Joe has done right by guys with what he's had to work with. ...a little TOO right if you ask me. That being said, I'm stoked to have Bynum back. ...AND stoked to have the Italian Walter Herrmann.
Perspective: Bynum will make more than Drummond this year. Players currently under contract for 2013/14: 1. Smith $14 2. Villenueva $8.58 3. Stuckey $8 4. Jerebko $4.5 5. Monroe $4.09 6. Knight $2.95 7. Bynum $2.86 8. Drummond $2.46 9. Datome $1.88 10. Kravtsov $1.5 11. Singler $1.05 12. English $800K 13. Middleton $800K Rookies: 14. Caldwell-Pope 15. Mitchell 16. Siva
I operate the same way Mikhail, so your opinion is solid as usual...but the Piston's salary structure appears to be willy-nilly, as where most teaching situations follow a pay scale formula. It's the willy-nilly part that affects team dynamics, which concerns me.
Need to add the Italian job.
Why are you mis-quoting me?
My hope is that they are professionals and only worry about their role on the team. Also, it should help not to have Stuckey and Charlie on the team next year.
Because I can?
those #2 and #3 players and their salaries is what will affect the team chemistry this year IMHO...........
Damn straight........
I'm rooting for Siva to win that Spot over Ken English. I don't have nothing agains Enlgish.. hell, I root for CV or stuckey to get traded or amnistied so we can keep English and Siva...
Almost all NBA rosters have a willy nilly salary structure. The market conditions are ALWAYS changing based on the combined factors of supply/demand, performance, injuries, age, potential, competition, economic coditions, ...etc. etc. etc. Without looking, I'm going to take a guess and say that their isn't one team in the entire league that has a fair and equitable salary structure. You can likely find multiple cases on every single team where guys are being paid less (or more) than they should be.
I agree 100%. I just think it's valid to discuss and I think when you have guys get new deals, it's especially valid. (i.e. JJ getting $4.5)
Are we doing anything differently than any other team? I recall the story about Orlando's Center before Howard. Can't recall his name but he turned down a lucerative contract with the Lakers to re-sign with Orlando out of loyalty for much less money. Next year was a bad year for him and he was cut. Loyalty is good and all but bottom line is that its a business. If you love your job then maybe its worth staying for a little less but have to keep in mind that loyalty often gets trumped by business interests. We got Bynum for what we got him for because an offer was made and he accepted it. He could have haggled, held out for more. Maybe no one else was willing to pay that for him- I don't know. Maybe 2.6mil./yr is what backup points on 27 win teams go for these days.
Sentimental reasons.
Separate names with a comma.

White Sox not as active as expected at winter meetings
The White Sox were expected to be one of the most active teams at the winter meetings, exploring trades for LHP John Danks, OF Carlos Quentin and left-handed reliever Matt Thornton.
But as of mid-afternoon on Wednesday the team had traded only closer Sergio Santos in what many in the industry perceive to be a curious move. And, surprisingly, the White Sox player drawing the most interest was utility man Brent Lillibridge, according to major-league sources.
One issue with trading potentional free agents such as Danks and Quentin is that under the new CBA the only way to secure draft-pick compensation is to make them a qualifying offer, and the minimum for such an offer next offseason is expected to be in the $12 million range.
Danks might merit such an offer on a one-year basis, but if he has a poor year or is injured, the White Sox would be extremeily reluctant to commit that kind of money to him.
Quentin, meanwhile, is a player they likely would not want to pay $12 million to.

What a mess!!! reading through the original post i would say proper times and everything else was followed to the tee and I have no doubt, everything was activated properly and of most concern would be the primer as over activating can cause this but the time frame is very important as well as humidity and i don't think this is the case at all because even then it will not just come off but takes a good chip to work it loose.
Activating the base actually increases adhesion so we know that had nothing to do with it.
With the above it really only leaves 3 possible causes:
*Primer was sanded when very fresh and then sat to long and closed up cells.
*Waterborne cleaner was still in primer pours and broke adhesion as paint dried.
* first coat of base was dry sprayed or covered from over-spray if other parts of car were painted first.
My best guess would be primer closed up but the big flakes are acting like trapped cleaner and that confuses me, so I wonder could it be a combination of 1 and two 2? It kind of sounds like it.
You mise well bite the bullet and lay some two inch tape on the other panels and snatch off to see if you have adhesion in those spots.
If you do, that kind of points to 1+2 on the doors.
This is the best I can come up with but let me know and let me know what you need to finish doors up, if you are running short.

"4 coats of TCPGlobal's Restoration Shop basecoat was applied"
"The basecoat was activated with SPI clear coat activator."
Are these two products compatible? Does the data sheet for TCP Global basecoat specifically say to use SPI activator?
I'am sure tcp doesn't recommend a activator but I've used it in house of color, wanda, ppg, omni,and not had any problems so I dont think that is it.
I don't think so either but I am sorry, there is NO WAY I am going to mix brands like that.
I think his problem is with waterborne in itself. The technology has come a long way but it's still in its infancy and you HAVE to keep it all on one system, unlike solvent borne where you can use different products and get good results. Not saying you can't get away with it using a certain combination of products but your chances of problems increase when spraying waterborne basecoats and not sticking to one brand through the entire paint process. I agree, Martin. We agree on something!
Solver Index
I got this off global web site on top coats peeling from base> TCP Globall
The first thing I thought about was the addition of fish eye eliminator I saw this same thing at a shop that added eliminator to the base! I'm not familiar with water born!!!

About 15 years ago a shop in MS had the clear blow off a black base-coat Job he did on a Lexis allover, the car never made it out of the shop and the clear came off in sheets, never saw clear come off like that before or since but he had a real problem with the base and he added the fish-eye eliminator.
NEVER use it in anything but clear and you still should not use it.
Great post Jester, something everyone should know.
On one of the threads we were talking about dumb mistakes we did in and around the paint booth over the many years some of us have been painting !! and one that came up a few times was adding a material from a can other then the one you thought you were adding especially when tired from hrs in and out of the booth! Especially when cans look alike with my age now I use tape and a marker and label my cans and when mixing on a note pad I write down what I just added!! I also write down what time I enter the booth and when I come out and what pass I just made LOL I dont know how many times over the years I answered the phone came back a few minutes later and forgot what I just added or thought is this my 5th or 6th passLOL and poring out the questionable mix and starting the mix over LOL I always order extra material ! But if you dont catch it and shoot you think everything is perfect till the next day LOL
Over the years Ive caught it just at that moment except once I was using material in cans that all looked the same and my wife just used the thinner to clean some bare metal in the shop before etching and she sat it on my mixing table and I grabbed it and used it as enamel reducer I went in the booth to shoot my 3rd heavy pass and man my wife's holding the hose behind me and yelling for me to stop somethings happening to the paint!!!!! the top of the quarter wrinkled like a fat woman's A S S and started falling off the car I opened the cup and could smell the lacquer!! ran out to the mix table and saw the can I immediately blamed her and the was on!! But it was my fault I was tired and not paying attention. Im sure all you older painters can relate LOL
What about sabotage? I worked at a shop with four painters and the #1 didnt like it when his talent was rivaled he would add something to the W&G or the clear ,I wont say what because there are those that would do it.
I'm still thinking its the activated base but the water born W&G sounds like a good runner up,have you used activator in this base before?
I have thought about this non stop, every problem has a set of reasons, if first week in sun you get 4-7 bubbles here and there on the car, can be one set of reasons and if you get just bubbling on hood and deck lid can be another set of reasons.
Undried wax and grease removers will case certain problems, solvent trap-age another, mis-activating the substrate another but none of these causes paint to come off in sheets, like this. Easy chipping, poor adhesion, dieback, yes but not sheets.
The base worked great on the other parts of car but not doors, the base is not smart enough to say, I think I will screw up on these two panels and do OK on the others.--SO the base is perfect.
That only leaves something "in" the last application of primer or something "on it". Whatever it is, is extream, too cause this.
The primer must come off, as nothing will ever stick to it.
Paint just don't come off in sheets over primer, even if it was over activated, under activated or sanded with 3000 or not sanded at all, or closed up do ue too setting, even undried wax and grease remover the base will draw out and dissipate and you may see popping or fish-eyes but it still will not come off in total sheets, maybe a 2 inch spot and prone to chipping but not sheets.

Yep, there are patterns to most every failure. When you are dealing with problems every day in shops all over the place as when you are in the paint business there are patterns, they are so obvious it isn't funny. Same as in the collision business you can look at a car and tell the owner how it happen before they tell you, there are patterns that because so clear and cut and dry it isn't funny.
This one most certainly doesn't fall into any one common pattern. It is odd, after seeing failures day in and day out for years and you don't see something like this I can see it being in your mind non stop Barry, it is an odd one.
I still can't see it being anything but the perfect storm.
I remember I laid a stripe on an S-10 truck once, it went all the way around the truck in HOK candy. Now thinking back my mind gets cloudy on just what the problem was, but it was peeling or severe die back or something. Anyway the failure was directly related to a time issue, where as the portions of the stripe that were applied over the primer the soonest failed where as the stripe over the primer that last applied worked fine. It was as clear as day that the application time had EVERYTHING to do with the failure. All within one stripe! So the planets can be aligned on one area and not another.
Then stuff comes out of blue. I had a Ford truck that failed BIG TIME. We are talking a SS acrylic enamel complete that was striped to bare metal and primed. Sealed and painted, about a year later he came back and the paint was CHAUK! You could literally put your fingernails into it like a bear claw and scrap the paint off with your nails! Now the odd part, it was a color change. The door jambs and underhood were all perfect! Then it hit me, I had a test panel that I had painted and thrown up on the roof. I went up there and got it and you guessed it, PERFECT. WTF? I did a little detective work and found out from a friend of his (we are talking detective style fact gathering here, the guy didn't rat on him) told me he had waxed it with a sealant style wax at just a month old!
I refunded him his money but wasn't about to repaint that truck.
Every odd one, if you are there looking at it and are able to ask many questions and SEE how things are done you can usually figure out even those odd ones. And it's an easy to get passion to figure them out isn't it Barry! You get a high tracking down the cause. I can certainly see why it has been on your mind, it's hard to forget about one like this.
I am still thinking it is simply a perfect storm with just the perfect solvent entrapment and wax and grease remover soaking in kinda thing. Something made a "barrier" between that primer and paint! No lack of sanding could do that. You could paint right over an unsanded hood that was cleaned properly and not have it come off in sheets like that. There was a barrier, there was SOMETHING between the primer and paint, like a sheet of saran wrap laid over the primer and then painted on, there was something that totally separated the primer from the paint. No lack of sanding or hardener in the paint is going to do that! (I still will recommend never to mix products though). Nope, something is between the primer and paint, and the only thing this could be is solvent of some sort.

Hey there everyone,
I just wanted to make sure that I set this up properly. So for the last year I've had a Hauppage 2250 card with the dual tuner running in my backend I've used this for tuning in the basic of basic Comcast cable (Everything over the ClearQAM) Last week I decided it was time to ramp it up and I ordered the HD Homerun Prime and got a cablecard from Comcast (BTW everything works on it just fine except for the Music Choice and the Premium channels) After an involved weekend I finally have my lineups back to where I want them. This involved my wife and I spending some time in the Database as well as schedules direct going through and dumping out everything that was either in SD and had a HD counterpart or that we just didn't have or want. So now that all of that is done in my channels table in the DB I do have some duplicate channels because there is a ClearQAM channel as well as a prime channel. I was just wondering if say for example I went to my local channel 9 which comes in HD on both paid and ClearQAM if the myth will just choose a free tuner or something else? Also when it comes to recordings will it give preference to one tuner over the other? Thanks for your help with this in advance and there is a different method that I should use with the two different tuning devices please let me know. Thanks.

Chrysler 300 Recall 13V118000
The Airbag System May Not Operate as Expected
Certain 2011-2012 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger & Charger models are being recalled because the airbag system my not deploy as expected in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles during April 2013. If your airbag warning light is on, or you don't receive notification and you believe you should have, please contact your local dealer. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The Chrysler recall number is N07.
The supplemental restraint system, commonly called the "airbag", consists of several "bags" that are very quickly inflated to help protect the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash. An on board computer uses information from various sensors to determine if and when the airbags should deploy. The affected vehicles may have a poor electrical connection in the front seat which could affect deployment of the side airbags and/or cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. Dealers will replace the airbag withing harness in both the driver and passenger front seats to correct this concern.
April 3, 2013
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured April 11, 2011, through December 14, 2011. The affected vehicles may have improperly sized terminal crimps on the seat side-airbag wiring harness which may cause the seat side-airbags to malfunction and illuminate the airbag warning light.
In the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment the airbags may not operate as designed, increasing the risk of injury.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace both driver and passenger seat airbag wiring harnesses, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during April 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N07.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Hire a student equipped with intensive, hands-on experience applying the concepts of business analysis and valuation.
Dr. Jonathan Cohn
The Department of Finance introduced a new undergraduate business curriculum in the Fall Semester of 1997---The Financial Analyst Program (FAP). Currently under the direction of Professor Jonathan Cohn (Ph.D. Finance), this one year program provides an opportunity for a select group of outstanding finance undergraduates to work closely with finance faculty and industry professionals to develop their skills and experience as analysts. It offers students intensive, "hands-on" experience applying the concepts of business analysis and valuation to decision contexts similar to those in the business world.
Students must have already been accepted to the McCombs School of Business to be considered for the program; also the program is limited to those students choosing finance as the major area of study in business. Students apply for the program early in the fall term, a full year prior to their final academic year; for most students, application will occur early in the junior year. A limited number of students may be pursuing a degree plan that requires slightly more or less than four years in residence at the University of Texas. These few students should also apply in the fall term a full year prior to their graduating year.
In the spring of the junior year, the student analysts accepted into the program enroll as a cohort in a security analysis course (FIN 377.3) designed exclusively for them. The course uses cases to present practical problems and issues in investments, financial services, and corporate finance and to develop the students' oral and written skills. Students learn to assess the operating, financing, and investment performance of a company. They also make financial projections, relative to the company's recent operating history and its peer group of competitors. The undergraduates get a taste of the academics involved and gain hands-on experience as financial analysts. The students serve as analysts for the $24 million (approximately) MBA Investment Fund. The student analysts are responsible for studying and presenting their opinions on different equity investments to the Fund's MBA student managers and investment professionals. Students acquire advanced skills in financial research, modeling, and asset valuation, and work under the guidance of faculty, investment professionals, and MBA Fund Managers.
The fall term of their senior or graduating year, the student analysts enroll as a cohort in a finance practicum course (Fin 366P). Financial Analyst Program students will have just completed a finance internship prior to the start of the fall term. Upon returning to campus, program participants assess their past summer performance, and analyze strengths, weaknesses and future career goals. Students continue honing skills through the academic and applied learning environment during the second term in the program. In this term, Students focus on the topics of leadership and ethics in the field of finance. Students continue assessing industries and investment opportunities under the direction of faculty, investment professionals, and MBA Fund Managers. Students receive internship credit for the practicum course, and by the end of the fall term of the graduating year they'll have completed the Financial Analyst Program. To graduate as a member of the Financial Analyst Program, a student must have completed both Fin377-3 and Fin366P in good standing, remain a finance major, and uphold the analyst commitment outside of class. The final spring term of the graduating year, program participants are able to provide service back to the program by volunteering to mentor incoming juniors.
Skills developed in the program include:
This program represents a major, one-year commitment that requires a significant amount of group work outside the classroom. To be eligible to apply, a student must be classified as a junior. Candidates must have completed the following courses prior to starting the program: FIN 357, ACC 311 and ACC 312. The course FIN 367 shall be completed prior to the start of the program, or may be taken concurrently with FIN 377.3. Interested students need to submit a written application by the due date indicated on the application form. The application form is found under "Apply for the program." Each application is will be evaluated by a faculty committee, and those candidates who best satisfy the first round evaluation are then interviewed by the committee. Final selections are announced by the beginning of January or mid January. Application forms may be obtained directly from the finance department web site. (See the finance department, AIM, Financial Analyst Program, and then apply). If you have trouble downloading the application, contact the Department of Finance, CBA 6.222.
Finance undergraduates at the University of Texas interested in further information about the FAP should contact Dr. Jonathan Cohn.
MBA Investment Fund, L.L.C.
The MBA Investment Fund, L.L.C. is the first legally constituted, private investment company to be managed by students. The Fund is a limited liability company registered under the laws of the State of Texas. It was created to enable MBA students in the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin to obtain real-world experience managing investment portfolios and developing relationships with clients. The fund completed its initial offering on December 8, 1994 with $1.6 million invested by accredited investors under securities laws. As of May 2013, the Fund has approximately 42 investors and $17.1 million under management in three different investment products: a growth-oriented equity portfolio and a value-oriented equity portfolio, which are managed for individual and institutional clients, and an endowment portfolio, which support the activities of the AIM Investment Center. The endowment fund consists of an enhanced index equity portfolio and a fixed-income portfolio.
Created by Dr. George W. Gau, Dean of the McCombs School of Business and Founding Director of the Financial Trading & Technology Center, the Fund provides a unique interaction between Texas MBA students and professionals from major national investment firms. Under the direction of Dr. Laura Starks, Bill McAdams and Sandy Leeds, a select group of 20 students each year work as student portfolio managers with investment counselors in the formulation of their strategy and making their portfolio decisions. They also report to an Advisory Committee comprised of faculty from the Department of Finance and leading members of the investment industry.
Neither the University of Texas at Austin nor the Board of Regents of the University of Texas has the authority or power to act on behalf of the Fund, to do any act that would be binding on the Fund or to incur any expenditures on behalf of the Fund. Neither the University of Texas nor the Board of Regents of the University of Texas shall be liable for any debts or obligations of the Fund.

Tough 1-0 Loss to Valpo Ends Green Bay's Season
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay hosted Valparaiso on Saturday afternoon for an important Senior Day women's soccer contest, but it was an unfortunate injury to senior captain Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.) that was too much for the Phoenix to overcome. Braatz, one of the top goal scorers in the Horizon League, left the game late in the first half, and visiting Valparaiso (10-5-3, 3-2-2 HL) used a second half goal to post a 1-0 victory over Green Bay (5-11-1, 2-4-1 HL).
After a 2-1 overtime victory over Wright State earlier in the day, Green Bay was in a must-win situation in an attempt to secure a spot in the Horizon League Championship. The tough loss ended the season as well as the careers of Braatz and fellow senior Chanel Aries (Calgary, Alberta). Braatz had a team-high five goals this season and seven in her career, and Aries played in 68 games in a Phoenix uniform.
Green Bay came out strong in the opening half and held a 6-4 edge in shot attempts at the half. Braatz had a couple of looks at the goal, including her strike in the 32nd minute that was saved by Valpo keeper Kristen Manski. Junior Ahna Logan (Roseville, Minn.) led the Phoenix in shot attempts with three.
The contest remained scoreless for the first 22 minutes of the second half, but that is when the Crusaders struck for the game's lone goal. Tara Ellis served a corner kick into the box, and Katie Gratzianna got on the end of it and headed it past Phoenix keeper Nastacia Behle (St. Paul, Mo.) for the goal.
Behle made her second-straight start in goal and performed well for the Phoenix, collecting five saves. The keeper is one of 22 freshmen and sophomores on the Phoenix roster slated to return in 2013.

Dealing with Warts
Warts are one of the most common skin lesions seen in pediatric practices. Warts also drive parents and some kids crazy! According to one study up to about 1/3 of school children have warts.
Warts are viral infections of the skin which are caused by human papilloma viruses (HPV). There are more than 100 types of HPV and different types of HPV cause different types of warts. The most common warts on hands and knees are caused by HPV types 1,4, 27, 57. These are not the HPV types that cause sexually transmitted infections
Some people seem to be more prone to getting warts than others, and it is not uncommon to see several children in one family dealing with warts. The HPV virus is spread through skin to skin contact or through contaminated objects or surfaces. In other words, they are hard to prevent. HPV can also have a long incubation period, so when parents ask, "Where and when did my child get this wart virus?", my answer is typically, "not even the CIA will be able to tell you that".
I many cases if the warts are left alone they may resolve on their own in months to years (one study showed two thirds remission in 2 years) ......but with that being said, most teens (especially girls) want those warts to "be gone!"
There are several different ways to treat warts and one of the most effective is with over the counter (OTC) products that contain salicylic acid. Salicylic acid acts as an irritant that activates an immune response against HPV. There are tons of different OTC products and in many studies there was not one product that proved superiority over another, so I would buy an "on sale" salicylic acid for starters. I know from using these on my own children that you have to be consistent and persistent in their use....but it did work.
If OTC products don't seem to be working the next step for those who are determined to try and get rid of the wart, is to head to the doctor who may try freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen or using cantharidin. Unfortunately, there is typically a little pain involved with these products.
Like so many other things, sometimes it may pay to just to wait it out and see if the virus just gives up and goes away!

Posted by JP Gownder on August 22, 2013
I recently spent an hour with Hewlett-Packard executive Stephen DeWitt, a longtime leader at the company who is currently leading up HP's enterprise marketing efforts. I wanted to learn more about the value proposition of products and services HP is selling to infrastructure & operations professionals and to understand HP's vision of the future for enterprise customers.
"It's easy to think of HP as a 'PC and printing' company – and we're obviously a huge player in those traditional product areas – but we have a broader vision for enterprises and for workers…all built around the new style of IT," Stephen told me. "Our new enterprise campaign, for example, is going to introduce people to the degree of breakthrough innovation we are providing customers today, and how co-innovating with HP can empower your business in the dramatically changing world ahead."
To give you a deeper sense of how HP serves its enterprise customers, here are some edited excerpts from our conversation:
Q: What's HP's overall vision for enterprise solutions? How do you make that vision tangible and concrete for your customers?
HP is a portfolio company, from core to periphery, from cloud to the device. We work very closely with our customers to provide end to end solutions rather than just ad hoc or best of breed products, and we focus on solving for business outcomes and co-innovating with our customers.
