Weekend Bookworm: The Trusted
28 March 2013 , 11:08 AM by Rob Minshull
The Trusted by John M. Green
It was one of the many paradoxes of the Thatcher era in the UK that when it came to accusations of disloyalty and betrayal, the British Conservatives invariably reserved their ire for the trade unions or other representatives of the labour movement.
The real traitors were, of course, members of the upper classes: the Cambridge Five spied for the Soviet Union and all acquired positions of privilege and prestige within the Establishment; and those who favoured Hitler and were most vocal in their support for a peace deal after the declaration of war were aristocrats and members of the Royal Family.
So who would be willing and able to betray our way of life in the 21st century? Should we suspect a new generation of social democrats or left-wingers? Or is it the anti-globalisation and "Occupy" protesters who pose the most danger?
In John M. Green's brilliant and provocative new eco-thriller, The Trusted, those intent on our destruction are not Islamic terrorists but trusted insiders, those at the very top of government, business, science and academia.
As sleepers at the highest levels, the conspirators who belong to a group called the Nine Sisters have spent 10 long years infiltrating the world's most trusted organisations. Now they are ready to launch their plan, their "life's dream of dragging the modern world back to a more primitive version of utopia".
As the author explains: "The traditional methods to detect networks like Al-Qaeda won't work with this new breed of extremists. That's because their evil genius is that they look like us, think like us and work with us ... precisely to mislead us to think that they are us."
Nine Sisters - 9S - aim for nothing less than the slashing of the world's population and the destruction of the global economy. Their goal: to bring on the winter, so a new spring for our planet can follow. Their means: a concerted worldwide assault on banks, computers, transport, emergency services, the oil industry and even the Catholic Church. Fiat justitia et ruant coeli. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.
When the first act in their plan first erupts - US nuclear power stations suddenly go haywire - the finger is pointed at an Australian, Dr Tori Swyft. Swift is a former 9S member and was recently forced out of the CIA. Can she convince the Americans of her innocence and will she be able to stop the 9S conspiracy before it is too late?
The "cyber threat" has been hyped up by politicians of varying shades in recent times. With his new novel, John M. Green delivers a chilling prophesy of what could really happen if extremists turned technology against itself. The Trusted is a classic race against time thriller with a difference: its terrifying political edge makes it all too plausible.

Is this fiction or non-fiction? Sound frighteningly real to me. Alan

It's a gripping fiction Alan, although John M Green is making a habit of predicting things in his novels. His next novel ( in progress ) features a Pope who resigned, before the latest real resignation occurred. And the recent cyber attacks in Korea and the one in Europe this week are too real for comfort. Don't read The Trusted if you're prone to paranoia : ) John spoke with us at Abbey's Bookshop in an interview that you can find here: http://abbeysbookshop.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/john-m-green-chats-with-abbeys-about.html

Thank you so much ABC and Rob Minshull for such an epic review of my new story. This thriller-writer salutes you. Tori Swyft would too, but she's currently in a place I am not at liberty to disclose.

Author Philippe Sands, whose book, "Torture Team," describes what went on in Guanatanamo prison, was told by retired General Michael Dunlavey, who supervised Guantanamo for eight months in 2002 that records on the itnerrogation of Muhammed al-Qahatani, who was accused of plotting the 9/11 attacks, have disappeared. Saudi born al-Qahtani was interrogated for 48 days during which time hewas sexually taunted, forced to perform dog tricks, and given enemas at Guantanamo. The CIA admitted it destroyed tapes of interrogations in Thailand, but the new discovery might suggest tapes were also destroyed at Guantanamo. The erased tapes may violate a court order in 2005 to preserve "all evidence (of) the torture, mistreatment and abuse of detainees."
It is difficult for any American citizen to react to the ongoing story of lies, deceit, human abuse and degradation carried out by members of the armed forces of the United States. These stories sicken the soul of all who believe in the American Constitution and what it represents in the history of our nation. The only resolution of this process must be the indictment of President Geoge Bush for violating the nation's laws.

How to care for a face scar
I'm not sure how she did it, but I placed Loki in her crate one morning for work, came home that night and she'd torn open the 'triangle' part of her outer eye area. She didn't tear the eye or the lids, but the fleshy part that came into a triangle near her nose.
I immediately called the vet to see if they could fit her in--only to learn that my vet is on vacation. I do have her scheduled with the earliest appointment from a different vet, but the 'wound' has already scarred up. I gave her some antibiotics and kept up with placing salve on the area. It only seemed like the crevice of the outer ring, but now the scar has dipped down into a straight line on her face, and it's turned white, but still has crusts on it like it is an open wound.
Should I see the vet still? Keep up with the antibiotics and salve? I have no idea how she did this, and I'm so worried putting her in her crate anymore, that I bought her a new one that's shipping now. Of course, she likes to be fussy and not let me see it, but we manage. Has anybody had this happen before? It's such an odd place to get a scar to me, and how in the world did she even do it?!
Obligatory pictures (bad quality, sorry. She doesn't like posing for the camera and I only have my phone):

Thread: Hawgs limited deer scents
Hawgs limited deer scents
I have been trying out almost everything out there for the prior last 3-4 years in scent products.Always gotta try what are suppose to makes daddy look for mommy,right?
About 3 years ago,I came across this stuff.BF-pre-post rut buck fever synthetics,it claims it's better than real buck or doe pee.bf-gland has scape and tarsal scent,Bf-rut is for estrous doe in heat.they also have there own scent illimination spray(which by the way you could even swallow after mouthwashing)called vanishing hunter.
I found there website and was amazed and more interested in what they had to say and how this stuff works.
I had a trail that was used occassionally I had my stand off of,and I put some on my bootpad and brought a wick in set it 10 feet in the air and setup a deercam just to see what would happen.
When I returned to my camera in a lil'over a week,it was full,but noticed te trail instead of being only 6-8 inches wide was now 2-3 feet with tracks and used 10 fold.
When I got my camera and got the pictures there were many does and fawns,but 5 or 6 different 8 pointers I had never seen before.This was this week last year to date.first week of august.All in velvet.
Hunting with the product was interesting for sure,I had a minimum of 5-6 does twice all less than 20 yards under my stand.I also had many other deer come in.But,what intrigued me the most is when they hit the trail...
There heads went down every 5-10 feet,walk,head dow,walk a little more head down again.Deer looking for deer.
A couple litteraly got about 60 yards away turned right around came back and made a scrape right in front of me.
When first trying it out I was using too much,I had one significant buck come almost running in on a trail I made at 30 yards,and nose to the floor ran past and kept on running off never to return,that boy had the blues.
I recommend trying out this product and also would recommend getting the information there website has to offer,I know it works for sure and many products may work for you in scents,but I reasure that this stuff blows tinks and golden estrous out of the water in my feild experience.
I just want some more people to test it out for themselves to see what happens in there bowhunting experience and give me back some input as well.

The Canisius women's lacrosse team scored the first six goals of the second half to take control of the game en route to a 14-9 win over Monmouth University at the Demske Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won for the fifth time in the last six games and improve to 5-3 on the season.
Seniors Lindsey Morgan and Morgan Leonard each scored four goals for the Griffs. Sophomore Tori Quinn led all players with six points (three goals and three assists) and also had four draw controls. Freshman Caroline Ogden added four points, including three assists.
"We had a great start to both halves, but give credit to Monmouth as they battled back and we weren't able to put the game away early," Canisius coach Scott Teeter said. "We need to learn in a hurry to value the ball, or it is going to cost us."
Morgan scored the first four goals of the game in the opening 11 minutes. On her first goal, Morgan cut to the net and took a pass from junior Maria Kotas. Quinn assisted Morgan on the next two goals, with the third tally coming on a shot into the lower corner. Leonard added two goals for the Griffs, putting Canisius up 6-2 midway through the first half. Monmouth (2-6) scored the next four goals to tie the game at 6-6 late in the first half before a free-position goal from Quinn with 2:49 broke the tie and sent Canisius into the locker room up 7-6.
That goal from Quinn sparked a seven-goal spurt for the Griffs as Canisius broke the game open. Quinn had three goals an assist during the run, including a pass to sophomore Whitley Perry who extended her stick to catch the pass, gathered her feet and finished to put Canisius up 11-6. Kotas and Leonard closed out the run for the Griffs who held Monmouth scoreless for more than 19 minutes.
Sophomore Kayla Scully earned the win for the Griffs, making nine saves on 16 shots faced to improve to 4-2 on the season.
Canisius continues its five-game homestand on Monday, when the Golden Griffins host St. Bonaventure. Game time at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 4 p.m.

More tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid associated with earlier onset of Alzheimer's
People with increased levels of tau protein in their CSF develop late-onset AD at earlier ages than do others with the disease, according to a study by researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The levels of this protein in CSF may provide a potential biomarker to identify people who may develop AD sooner than others do. The levels of both beta-amyloid and tau—two proteins whose abnormalities characterize AD—in CSF vary widely in individuals with the disease.
The investigators used genotyping to pinpoint the association between MAPT, the gene that encodes tau, and AD. They found four genetic variants of MAPT that were associated with higher levels of tau, but the higher tau levels were found only in the presence of beta-amyloid deposits. The researchers also confirmed that the genetic variants of MAPT influenced the age at onset of AD clinical symptoms but had no effect on the overall risk of developing AD.
The results indicate that beta-amyloid deposition leads to MAPT gene expression, which in turn raises tau levels and increases early neurodegeneration in late-onset AD.
Kauwe, J.S., et al. Variation of MAPT is associated with cerebrospinal fluid tau levels in the presence of amyloid-beta deposition. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2008 Jun 10. 105(23):8050-54.

Daily Obsessions: 5/14
Here's what product Sephora staffers are loving this week!
5/14: Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm Broad Spectrum SPF 20

5/11: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Sugar Berry Tinted

5/10: Sephora Collection Pro Foundation Brush #47
"I have two secrets for a flawless complexion. First, I mix my foundation with a moisturizer for a sheer, dewy effect. Then, I glide it on with this brush for an even, natural-looking finish. It's a game changer!." - Kelley H., Senior Writer

5/8: Alterna Bamboo Volume Uplifting Root Blast
"I love this spray! It gives a long lasting boost of volume to dull, flat hair. Plus, it dries super quick." -Diana R., Beauty Advisor
What's your obsession? Show & Tell in the comments!
I needz that foundation brush! I've been *obsessed* with brushes lately and feel like I can never have enough. Plus, I hate washing foundation/concealer brushes after every use so when I have a few "backup" ones I don't have to wash the same ones over and over again.
@sephoramusthave - Real talk, after I read that brush one, as I was putting these together, I went to the site and added it to my cart! These darn obsessions get me EVERY time.
Oh and I still have my mini fresh sugar lip balm in rose from my birthday gift. I love it because its literally my lips but better! I used up the clear one a long time ago. Lipbalm is something that I always use up, so enough is *never* enough Right now, I'm using the strawberry rosebud salve one every night before bed. Lipbalm is part of my nightly skincare routine. I wear lipstick pretty much every single day and when I wear lipbalm before bed, they never get dry. If I skip lipbalm for a few days though, my lips hurt real bad!
I forgot to list my obsession---Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I bought my tube in January of this year so a few months ago and I just realized that I haven't worn a powder shadow without it ever since I bought it! My tube is very well loved, I've used up at least 2/3 of it, but I still have enough left to last me at least a couple more months, if not more. I remember being super skeptical about eye primers, and I didn't like paying so much for something that goes on clear, but its worth every single penny. My shadows, no matter what the brand, look more vibrant, more pigmented, don't crease, and stay put all day which is super important for me. I want to try the other Too Faced primers! They have so many different primers I'm surprised they haven't come out with a kit of mini versions.
@sephoramusthave - since you like the Shadow Insurance (which I love), you HAVE to try the Lip Insurance, it's seriously the best thing ever. When I use it on my red lip days, the color stays put and doesn't bleed! It's amazing.

While most students are fast asleep, Dymond Mosley, Ira LeRoy and Jeffrey Parmer are doing pushups, running and working out to maintain top physical shape. Physical training starts at 6:30 a.m. every other day, so they are up well before dawn to be on time.
As cadets in the University of St. Thomas Army Reserve Training Corps, PT is only a small part of a larger commitment. On May 10, in a ceremony attended by UST President Dr. Robert Ivany, Mosley, LeRoy and Parmer were commissioned into the U.S. Army as second lieutenants and are prepared to embark on their military career.
The University of St. Thomas offers Air Force and Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs in partnership with the University of Houston. Cadets take part in physical training and drills and attend military science classes at UH, while completing their academic courses at St. Thomas. Through this partnership, students are able to participate in a large, nationally-ranked ROTC program while receiving an education at a private university.
In addition to learning leadership and professional skills, the cadets have developed a strong foundation with a liberal arts education that will serve them for life in the military and beyond.
Dymond Mosley
Mosley, a liberal arts major with a focus in communications, will join the 10/95th at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base Houston as a human resource officer.
Mosley was drawn to the ROTC program because she did not know how else to pay for college; however, she quickly realized the profound opportunity she was afforded in serving her country.
"I didn't become interested in the military until I began my freshman year of college and had already started the ROTC program," Mosley said. "Growing up, I was a girly girl and the military was far from my mind."
Mosley says that her time with ROTC has been influential in her growth and development as both a cadet and a person. The program taught her to enjoy good times, and with prayer and support from family and friends, persevere through tough times.
"UST helped me in ROTC by strengthening my faith," Mosley said. "If I had not gone to UST I would not have the relationship with God that I have today."
Ira LeRoy
LeRoy, an English major, has National Guard duties to fulfill over the summer and will report for duty with the 636th Military Intelligence Battalion in San Antonio this August.
Driven by a sense of responsibility, LeRoy says that after 9/11 he didn't feel comfortable sitting on the sidelines. When the opportunity arose, he joined the National Guard, a reserve component of the U.S. Army, but will be activated when he reports for duty.
"I wanted a chance to lead troops at the command level," LeRoy said.
LeRoy says his time at UST helped shape him into the leader he is by allowing him to study and discuss ethical choices he may have to face in the field. He credits Dr. Ted Rebard, associate professor of philosophy, for being one of the most influential professors during his college career.
"In his ethics and metaphysics classes, Dr. Rebard taught me you can't just make choices and go with them," LeRoy said. "You have to make good choices and go with them."
Jeffrey Parmer
Parmer, who received a master in liberal arts with a focus in communications, will begin his active duty career on July 5 at Fort Lee, Virginia for Ordnance Basic Officer Leadership Course. Then he will be stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington with the 593rd Sustainment Brigade.
Parmer understands the commitment required to actualize a dream.
"ROTC requires a lot of dedication and effort," Parmer said. "The program forced me to practice good study habits and time management."
Through this dedication, he was able to exercise the leadership skills and confidence necessary to become a strong and competent leader. Parmer has always had a strong desire to serve in the military, and he hopes to make a career out of his military service.
"ROTC gave me the opportunity to complete a master's program at UST and to achieve my ultimate dream of becoming an Army officer."

Maintaining proper water balance is the key to keeping the pool water clear and surfaces scale-free. It is important to consider all forms of scale, but the focus should be on the one most likely to occur. Years of research, along with basic scientific principles, confirms that calcium carbonate usually is the primary culprit and should be the focus of pool professionals.
If calcium hardness is too high, precipitation can occur, which can cause cloudy water or scale on surfaces. The reason for placing an upper limit on calcium hardness is so that calcium-based minerals do not precipitate from solution.
It is important to distinguish between precipitation (or insolubility) and actual scale formation. Scale is adherence to a surface. Just because something precipitates or is somewhat insoluble does not mean that it will adhere. In addition, different types of scale have different crystal structures and their formation is influenced by different factors. While calcium carbonate is the most common, three types of calcium-based scale will be discussed. These include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate.
Calcium carbonate scale
Calcium carbonate scale is driven by high pH. Other factors that contribute to its formation include high temperature (in part, because the carbon dioxide is more volatile) and high calcium or carbonate concentrations in the water.
An increase in temperature causes increased molecular motion. This simply means that all the molecules move around much faster. Because the calcium and carbonate are moving faster, they are more likely to bump into each other causing them to form a bond.
Another side effect of increased temperature is a decrease on carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration. A decrease in carbon dioxide concentration will cause the reaction to move to the right which also promotes the formation of scale. Another way of looking at this is that higher temperature promotes dehydration.
An increase in pH causes bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) to dissociate. This means the bicarbonate tends to dissociate into hydrogen (H+) and carbonate (CO3-2). The higher availability of the carbonate ion makes scale more likely to form.
Lastly, the more calcium and carbonate that is available in the water, the more likely these are to come into contact with each other and form scale.
Calcium phosphate scale
It is important to remember that there is always a much higher level of carbonate than phosphate in pool water. Even in what some would consider a high phosphate pool (1,000 – 2,000ppb), it is still a very low level compared to carbonate. For example, 2,000ppb is only 2ppm. There is typically well over 100ppm of carbonate in the water. Because reactions are often "competitions" between two species, the one with the higher concentration tends to react faster. Of course, the use of a phosphate remover can drive the level lower, but it starts out very low compared to carbonate.
More importantly though, calcium phosphate scale is not driven by high pH because it is not part of the carbonate equilibrium. Calcium phosphate is not very soluble in water and a precipitate can form quickly. It is important to note again, however, that the formation of a precipitate does not necessarily mean that it will adhere (form scale). Listed below are the possible locations where precipitation, then adherence, could take place.
Main body of water — as mentioned, calcium phosphate is not very soluble and will precipitate fairly quickly. With the filtration system running, this material will usually be captured on the filter bed and removed with routine cleaning. It will be trapped in the filter easier if using a water clarifier. So with proper filtration and filter cleaning, the precipitation in the bulk of the water is not really a problem as it never has a chance to settle out.
Heater — calcium phosphate will tend to deposit on warm surfaces. However, adherence also is affected by shear (or turbulence). Shear significantly reduces the chance for adherence. Because the most efficient heat transfer is with turbulent flow, the likelihood of calcium phosphate depositing on a heating element is low due to the high level of shear inside the heater.
Chlorine generator cell — calcium phosphate scale is not caused by high pH. Therefore, calcium phosphate is no more likely to form on a chlorine generator cell plate than anywhere else in the pool. There may be small amounts of calcium phosphate on cell plates, but analysis of dirty cells has confirmed that the vast majority of scale is, in fact, calcium carbonate.
Calcium sulfate scale
This type of scale is driven by the concentration of calcium and sulfate in the water. Scientists use parameters such as solubility constants for specific compounds to predict which material is likely to stay in solution and which will precipitate. The solubility constant for calcium sulfate indicates that this compound is the least likely type of scale to form.
In the unlikely scenario that the calcium and sulfate levels did reach the high concentration required, the precipitation process is different from that of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. In the case of calcium sulfate, the rate of crystal growth is extremely fast. So the material "crashes out" of the water very quickly. Essentially, it's an all or nothing process. This is known as a super saturated solution, where crystal growth is faster than the initial crystal formation (nucleation). Once the water reaches the saturation point, it all falls out of solution. It is not a slow crystal growth process like other types of scale. For example, a pool operator would not see a slow build on a surface such as a chlorine generator plate, but rather all the material coming out of solution coating multiple surfaces all at once.

Discussion in 'April 2007' started by roscoe36, Apr 12, 2007.
04/13/2007 7:00pm @ Toronto NAT : NBALP LOC : FSN Detroit RADIO : 1130 WDFN AM
We don't need this win, so maybe we play some backups. I'd like to see how we'd do against these guys going full bore................. Prediction: Raptors win 96-88
well, 3 friends and i are taking a little road trip across port huron tomorrow and going to the game. we'll be behind the basket closest to the pistons, row 8. i'll have my blue tayshaun jersey and red shirt, my buddy will have his blue chauncey jersey on. look for us!! anyone else goin?
I am going to the Philly game Sunday, and Toronto on Tuesday. Hope to catch you at the Palace someday.
This will be the last live televised regular Pistons game here, but I hate to find out that I must be on the road by the game time to-morrow morning and, you know, we don't have WDFN here. Will check the recorded game on screen tomorrow evening and enjoy our young players' game, uhm . . . will he play them ?
I'm 5 kinds of excited that the bench is going to get some playing time these next few games. I just read that the Pistons recalled Amir! I've never thought I'd be this stoked about a Pistons-Raptors game! Although we don't need this win and the starters are going to get some much deserved rest, I believe Detroit shall be victorious. Final score: 98-93.
Chat is open!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Great shot on the Toronto feed at the end of the game, Anthony Parker and Kris Humphries running down the tunnel back to the locker room, and in the corner of the shot, Brian Colangelo is high fiving his guys. He tries to get out of the camera's view, but for a fraction of a second you can see it is him. I like stuff like that.
Bench played in the 2nd and 4th. A lot of Pistons played bad and we were in it until the very end. Meaningless game, no one got hurt, CB didn't play. I'm sure someone else will add more.
I don't care what anyone says. I don't like giving away any games. We had these guys down and Flip went with the scrubs for the last 10 minutes and they were outscored 23-7 to close it out. You knew the scrubs were not going to hold the lead. This proves for certain that Hunter cannot lead a team down the stretch as we stalled when he entered the game. At least he could have left in Dice or Flip jr. for offense, but for at least 3-4 minutes it was all about Delfino and everyone else watched. (3-9 for shooting ouch). CWebb was atrocius out there too going 1-9. Lets just hope they can please the home fans with a couple of wins in these last 2 remaining games there.
You know, the bench did ok. Good enough anyway. But playing Dupree? That was maybe the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. I will not blame the loss on Dupree of course, but man, we could have dressed Dale Davis and be talking about a Piston win right now. Message to Joe Dumars. Anyone who wants to see the Pistons win it all this year, get this message to him somehow. Call on the radio. Whatever. We have no backup point guard. Bring up Blalock, it will improve the team by a lot. Our point guard play varied. First, nothing whatsover from Flip Murray the first five minutes of the game. He finally did get to the line, and missed both free throws. Oh well, at least it was the first ok he did in the game to that point. Flip Saunders went to a zone about then to hide Flip Murray's poor D, which worked, and Flip Murray rallied to play decent as a point guard for a while. We started a major run. The zone held extrememely well. Then Hunter came in, and struggled. But then he rallied to do a few good things. Trouble. Then Flip came back in and we had a Flip Murray, Hunter backcourt. Again, we stalled out at first, but then rallied a bit with the same backcourt. Then came the 2nd half. Flip Murray and Hunter had used up all their tricks. Absolutely horrid play from both point guards in the 2nd half. Flip Murray could not play D at all and we used the zone less. Anyone that understands the playoffs knows this, the other team has like 7 games to adjust to what you are doing. Hunter and Flip's bags of tricks are very limited, we are going to get killed in the playoffs whenever Billups sits. Foul trouble or injury to Billups will lead to disaster. Meanwhile, down in the D-league, we have an actual point guard, a four year college player from a good program, just playing minor league ball. What we could have been seeing all nite long is Blalock getting inside their defense and giving us easy shots. And Blalock often finishing himself with a bucket. More next post. Amir did ok. Only one bucket, on a cut to the basket. Of note, this was one of a couple of good passes from JMAX. Amir got two blocks, but I don't know if the official scorer gave them to him. One time Blaha announced Tay had stole the ball, but Amir had snaked his long arm around and blocked the ball to Tay. The next block Blaha initially credited to JMAX, but later gave Amir some credit at least. But it was Amir. Amir also had a steal. On defense, he was very active. He chose the wrong direction here and there, which is natural when you are finding out your role, but he was always moving his feet. We lost the game on a missed call by the officials. Toronto kicked the ball. Now of course JMAX then proceeded to throw away the pass after picking up the ball, but the kicked ball should have been called. JMAX did not have a great game. OK, not great. Part of that is real simple. Those post shots he took tonight, he should have been taking those shots all season long in game time conditions. He still managed to do some damage around the boards. And upon review, I see that shot Amir Johnson offensively goal tended was going to go in. Dyess played a lot in this one, shot 4 for 5 in the first half and kept up some pretty good shooting in the 2nd half. Rip was on fire, moving very well to use picks and screens. 24 points in 26 minutes ain't bad. He is ready. Sit him next game. Bring up Blalock. Billups is suppose to play Sunday from what Blaha said. Billups did not dress for this game. Tay hit some threes, but he looked exhausted in the 2nd half. He probably should have came out sooner. Of note, Amir Johnson played as a small forward in this game, usually playing with Dyess and JMAX. Now put Delfino at shooting guard and you got something. Forgot to mention the offensive rebound off a missed free throw by Amir. Expect that a lot with this pogo stick of a player. Webber did not do much. Played too long. I know they say he needs to play himself back into shape right now, but just maybe he needs a game off. Maybe rest is what he really needs. Having the flu ain't no picnic. Webber and Flip Murray did connect on a couple of plays, each giving the other an easy score inside. Delfino had a brief good stretch in the 2nd quarter, getting inside for some scoring. He missed all his outside shots. But he needs the practice so I say keep shooting. He tried in vain to help with the ball handling skills, but hey, you really need two guards out there who know what they are doing for things to work. Delfino alone can't fix how bad Murray and Hunter are as point guards. All in all, disregarding two things, not having a point guard and letting Dupree play, Flip coached a good game. The bench needs the practice, and it got a lot of it. The starters got some burn to keep reasonably sharp. Only three games left, still time to fix our main problem, having no backup point. GO PISTONS!!!!!
Dupree has been watching from the bench all year - usually in street clothes. He cheers on his teammates, doesn't complain and works hard in practice. I don't mind Flip throwing him a bone in a meaningless game at the end of the regular season when we have nothing to prove. Once playoff time comes, the next time Super DNP touches his uniform will be to clean out his locker.
It would have been nice to see Amir & company be part of a win, but like you said, that game really means little. Amir will have to settle for the fact that he was part of that very good defensive stand in the 2nd quarter.
Amir really didn't look comfortable out there. His dribbling was shaky. Good D, though. Amir stuffed Neck-4. I don't see why everyone's hating on Lindsey. Delfino was the goat, in my mind. He takes too long to make simple post-feeds and swing-passes.
The point guard perhaps should do something? Remember this, Kelser loves to point out faults with Delfino. Delfino could have tried to make that post pass, but it was not so clear whether it would have gotten thru. I guarantee you, if Delfino attempts a post pass, and it gets stolen, a whole lot of people would choose to hate on him for that. A point guard is suppose to get inside the defense and get an easy score for a teammate. Delfino did so late in the game, setting up Hunter for that three. Where were the setups from our supposed point guard? Between Flip and Hunter in that 2nd half, there was practically no point guard play at all from either of the guys Saunders has chosen for that duty.
I have no problem with Flips decisions here. If Billups was not hurt then he would have played all the starters for about 1/2 the game and used the bench for the other half. These 4 games are a great opportunity to test the bench under real conditions. You can't get this kind of competition level in the pre-season. If the team improves by giving the bench guys some extra burn then its only going to help us in the post-season. Plus we get to see if Amir is ready for next season. Up next are one more with TOR and BOS,Philly so we will not lose them all and the bench may actually improve. The TOR starters could not hang with the Pistons starters ( minus Billups ) so the Raps had to realize that.
Sure. But, you've forgotten about Carlos' shot selection and pass-to-an-invisible-person in the fourth quarter that led to a SC violation. Carlos is as inconsistent as Rasheed, it seems. How is Lindsey supposed to help Carlos make a swing-pass? Maybe Lindsey's problem is that he doesn't tell Carlos to not take three-pointers four seconds into the shot clock. I really don't care about what Kelser says. I've never actually heard him talk about Carlos' faults. Most post-feeds are never entirely clear. But you're right about Carlos setting Lindsey up for that three-- and Lindsey actually made it. I'm a Carlos supporter, . . I just get confused at times over what goes through his mind when he dribbles the ball around the perimeter for ten seconds and then decides to pass the ball to someone in a position similar to his own.
The TOR starters could barely hang with our bench. I was reading over some of the Toronto boards' post-game reaction, and . . well, . . most of the conversation amounted to Detroit's bench being just as good as our starters. Riight. Friggin' Dinosaur-fans.

Hi Hunters,
Well, this is my first post of the work done on my FP armor since I first got it awhiles back. [Thanks Chris! ]
I've always wanted to be involved with every part of my Suit's buildup so I took a big step in painting my own armor, using the masking method after reading and learning from the paint gurus here.
Oh and all this was done with Tamiya Spray Paint Cans [with some paint color advice from KidAkira, gracias bro!] as I don't own an Airbrush...yet.
The paintwork is basically done, right now, I need to work on the dullcoating, weathering, scratches, misting and the damaged layer that I missed out on the AB plate [i'll have to go topical with this, short of stripping and redoing it].
Again, this is my first ever paintjob, so be kind.
So, here we go..
Big thanks to all the Paint Guru's here with the loads of advice and helpful suggestions!
Stay safe,

Sister Anne Frances Ai Le, O.P., graduated as the 25th recipient of a doctorate in philosophy from the University of St. Thomas Center for Thomistic Studies as she successfully defended her dissertation on May 9.
Beginning fall 2014, Sister Le will join the faculty of St. Mark's College and Corpus Christi College in Vancouver, Canada, as the Hanrahan Scholar in Residence.The three-time UST graduate will join her fellow alumni in educating philosophy students around the world at institutions including Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, La., Benedictine College in Atchison Kan., and Donduk Women's University in Seoul, South Korea.
As a member of the Dominican Sisters: Mary Immaculate Province of the worldwide Order of Preachers, Sister Le is bound to observe the three vows of religious life: poverty, chastity and obedience. As a doctoral candidate at the University, Sister Le chose focus on and explore one aspect of the three vows: poverty. In her dissertation, "Nudus Sequens?: St. Thomas Aquinas on Poverty and Christian Perfection," Sister Le explored the implications of St. Thomas Aquinas' teaching of evangelical poverty in relation to the Christian Life.
According to Sister Le, Aquinas embraced a balanced view of embracing poverty in according to one's walk of life. Through this approach, both rich and poor can accept poverty by focusing on their interior detachment from possessions. This detachment allows individuals to voluntarily go without superfluous material possessions and readily share what they do own.
"This idea of poverty as a means to perfection, a counsel, a virtue and a useful instrument for practicing the virtue of religion provide a reasoned response to the question on why religious or individuals voluntarily renounce goods and possessions," Sister Le said. "These ideas show that embracing evangelical poverty, whether individually of communally, makes sense because it is for a greater good, the attainment of beatitude or happiness with God."
Sister Le's writing of her dissertation was not without its challenges; she balanced obligations with her religious community, which included work as a translator and serving as the head of the newsletter staff, with teaching as a philosophy adjunct professor. "Although this opportunity at times presented further demands and challenges on top of other obligations, I am very appreciative of the philosophy department and my students over the years for having made my first experiences in teaching at the university level to have been absolutely wonderful and memorable," Sr. Le said.
"With my successful completion of my dissertation defense and subsequent graduation, I've earned the distinction of being a three-time graduate of the University of St. Thomas: B.A. in Theology, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy. I'm honored and privileged to be a three-peat of UST, which has been to me as a second home in Houston," Sister Le said.
The Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas is the only graduate philosophy program uniquely focused on the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas in the United States. The Center is founded on the Church's insistence of the perennial value of the thought of Aquinas as the new millennium proceeds.

Re: C&C 30 / Yanmar Repower, Engine Removal
I here ya... It was a pain. The engine swap was the easy part. Its the hook up's that takes time. With the flex coupling alignment, The exhaust hose, Intake hose , All the wiring. all in all its a pain.
Let us know how it goes. I have run mine. I have blue smoke at the top of the hp range under a load. I had to take the exhaust back to tighten that damb coupling. Not sure a-bought the 3500 rpm blue smoke. This engine may be no good?
Re: C&C 30 / Yanmar Repower, Engine Removal
Update. I found a low-hour, late model 2gm20f on Craigslist. I just pulled the engine from the seller's boat today. This solves all of my problems. Of course there is still the issue of the removal and replacement. More to come.
Re: C&C 30 / Yanmar Repower, Engine Removal
I know its kind of late but I thought I right a short reply.
I spent this past weekend pulling the 2GM15 out of my C&C 30 MK1.
I have purchased a 2GM20F as a replacement. The replacement is fresh water with a heat exchanger. My old engine was a salt water cooled 33 year old engine on its last leg with low compression. So here is the steps I took and some photos ,
New'er Engine
1) First thing I did was remove the old wireing harness and install the wireing harness that came with the newer engine. I checked it over real good first. made some small repairs, but not much needed here as it was in good shape.
2) Installed the new harness but did not plug in to old engine.
3) Disconnected fuel line.
4 Disconnect the water exhaust line and strap back out of the way.
5) Disconnect the throttle and shifter cables and move out of the way.
6) Remove the raw-water intake hose.
7) break loose and remove the engine mount nuts being carefull not to disturbe the height adjustments, I want to be as close as possable eith the new engine alignement.
8) Pull the main sail and cover and stow in the foward birth.
9) You will beed 3 1X6 18" and 2 6X6 post 12" to set the engine on see the photo below
10) I then set the Main haylard to help the machanical boomvang hold the weight.
11) I purchased some new straps from Lowes with a 1800lbs rating.
12) I hung the new straps to the boom as close to centered as possable to the load. I hung the come-along
I only used 1 lifting eye as I only had one lifting point on this enngine?
The new engine has 2 which will make it easer going back in the hole.
4 points you will need to watch out for.
1) the drive coupler, I soked for 4 days with P-B Blaster and still had to cut one of the 4 bolts out with a ZIZ-Wheel. So be prepaired for rust and dont let it discurage you. Take your time.
2)The angle will be very steep on your strap the rear of the engine will come of the mounts first, this will cause the drive coupler to jam aginst the driveshaft. you will need to raise a little at the time making sure the frount is jacked up at the same time.
3) and when it comes loose it will swing foward in a hurry. I was out in front of thai as i'm sure you will be. I took some 1X6 boards and blocked it by ladder bulk head.
4) Becareful of the wood work as you can see in this photo I will have to refinish part of my teak.
All and all it was a good day. It was too hot to do this job, but I have to sail in September. I have to piush on and get it done. I am not a boat mechanic so its slower than it should getting this done... So heres the question when can I call myself a mechanic?
Any lost of luck getting your swap done if you have any questions I would be happy to share my experiances with you.
Capt. Burt
Re: C&C 30 / Yanmar Repower, Engine Removal
Thank you to everyone so far. Keep the suggestions coming. Some of you had some quesitons. the footprint of the new Yanmar is very close. the center to center width between the motor mounts is spot on. the length is a bit off. I'll need to fill the old holes in the bed with some marine-tex epoxy. it looks like I will not need to do any modification to the existing engine bed.
Once the old engine is out I'm going to scrub and likely paint the engine room.
Yes, the old Yanmar will be for sale. I'll post it on Craigslist and maybe e-bay in early October. That way, a potential buyer can inspect it and run it while it's still installed. it is in Seattle and I'll ship it to whomever wants to pay for the shipping and packing.
Re: C&C 30 / Yanmar Repower, Engine Removal
Might think of yanking the cylinder head off also. It is a pretty heavy chunk.
Re: C&C 30 / Yanmar Repower, Engine Removal
I removed the Universal 5411 on my previous boat that way. Definitely attach the main halyard to the boom and not rely on the topping lift. Make sure the block and tackle you use can lower the engine all the way to ground. We were about a foot short which meant some scrambling and rethinking at the end to get it on the ground. I think the entire operation of disconnecting the engine and pulling it out took two of us about 2 hours.

I also wanted to replace 26 year old motor mounts !

I removed my Yanmar to replace cutless bearing and shaft on my 27 Island Packet . I used a come a long attached to the boom with a strong fabric strap . On the motor I used a steel bar the same length as the lift attachments on the motor to fit 2 large shackles on those . Pretty easy .!

Flood watch discontinued
Updated 9:48 pm, Sunday, May 26, 2013
A flood watch for the region has been discontinued but a flood warning remains for the San Antonio River near Elmendorf, according to the National Weather Service.
Update 9:45 p.m.
The watch was originally in effect for South Central Texas through 10 p.m. but the showers and thunderstorms have dissipated and no more rain is expected, the NWS said.
The flood warning applies to a stretch of the river in southern Bexar County near Wilson County.
Forecasters are expecting a clear Memorial Day.
Update 6:20 p.m.
Officials said they have recovered the boy of Avron Adams, who went missing after trying to cross the Cibolo Creek Saturday.
Adams family had spent most of the day waiting in a parking lot near the command center in Schertz.
Adams, 18, was swept away in flood waters Saturday when he and some friends tried to cross the creek just off FM 1518 near Maske Road.
Teams searched into the evening Saturday and resumed Sunday around 6 a.m., finding the body about 12 hours later.
Kenneth Adams, 53, said his son had just started a job at Whataburger. He was an athletic young man "with a big heart" who liked to have fun and hang out with friends.
Update 4 p.m
The search continues in Schertz for a young man that went missing when he reportedly tried to cross Cibolo Creek Saturday, officials said.
David Harris, an executive director for Schertz, was at the site Sunday afternoon and said by phone that he couldn't confirm early reports that the missing 18-year-old is Avron Adams. (Police at first reported his age as 17, but adjusted that today to 18.)
However, Harris said the family of Adams was at the site waiting for word.
On a Facebook page believed to be Adams', he's listed as a member of the Class of 2013at Samuel Clemens High School.
Meanwhile, in San Antonio, authorities still hadn't released the names of the two women killed flood waters.
The flooding caused a major sewer spill of more than 100,000 gallons that combined with flood waters and the San Antonio River near Mission Road, the San Antonio Water System said Sunday in a news release.
Late Saturday, a 54-inch sewer line near Mission Concepcion was "overwhelmed" by the storm flows, the release said.
"Because of flooding conditions from rains in the river, no adverse impacts have been observed," the news release said. "SAWS crews will continue to monitor the area."
Crews continued to work to clean up roadways and get power restored. By 3:30 p.m., outages continued to dwindle and by 3:30 p.m. CPS Energy was reporting a total of 16 outages affecting 37 customers.
The remaining highway closured centered at U.S. 281, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
The ramps from Loop 410 to U.S. 281 southbound remained closed and could stay closed through the night. Northbound U.S. 281 was still shut down at Hildebrand Avenue while the southbound lanes were closed at Jones Maltsberger at the Quarry, according to the police department's Facebook page.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms were still in the forecast this afternoon and officials were urging residents to limit travel, according to police and the National Weather Service.
Update 1:40 p.m.
A storm complex to the west had shown weakening this morning before flaring up before noon, producing heavy rain in the western Hill Country, from Uvalde to Kerrville.
Weather service forecasters remain concerned about daytime heating showers, but are hopeful that the danger of flooding will subside by this evening.
About 50 people, including 20 search and rescue personnel from Travis County, Bexar County and San Marcos have resume a search for an 18-year-old man along Cibolo Creek, which separates Universal City and Schertz.
The teams are using boats and search and rescue dogs to find the man, who had attempted to cross the creek with at least one other person on Saturday.
"We're encouraging everyone to support the family with thoughts and prayers," said David Harris, executive director of support for the city of Schertz.
"We urge those not familiar with the flood of 1998 and 2002 to stay out of high water if they see it, whether you're driving or on foot," Harris said. "You don't realize how powerful that water can be."
The San Antonio Fire Department, which received 250 high-water calls Saturday and performed 130 rescues, issued a similar plea today, reminding motorists that driving through water puts drivers and passengers at risk, as well as emergency personnel.
Moving a street barricade carries a maximum fine of $2,000 and 180 days in jail. If a rescue is required, everyone in a vehicle may be charged $400.
Update 12:45 p.m.
Families displaced from a Mission Espada neighborhood trudged through mud and wet vacuumed their sodden homes Sunday morning, but mostly they seethed in anger.
Several residents here blame the flooding not on rain, but on water released from the Olmos dam. Why weren't they given advance notice to evacuate before yesterday's deluge, many asked?
The water that destroyed their homes came in a massive wave they said, "like a typhoon."
Ermilio Garza, the 80-something-year-old man who refused to leave Saturday remained steadfast on the stairs of his ruined mobile home, even as rain began to fall again at noon.
"I've been through this beore. I'm not going anywhere," he said.
The San Antonio forecast calls for an 80 percent chance of showers this morning, with a slight chance and southeast winds gusting up to 25 mph in the afternoon.
Forecasters have not ruled out a possibility of rain Monday morning, but predict plenty of sunshine for Memorial Day. The only other mention of rain in the long-range local forecast is a 20 percent chance returning Wednesday and Thursday.
Saturday's sustained morning deluge dumped 9.87 inches of rain at San Antonio International Airport, the second-highest official daily rainfall in the city's history, based on weather records dating to 1885.
The highest was 11.26 on Oct. 17, 1998, during another massive weekend flood that many viewed as a wake-up call for local planners and elected officials to invest in flood control and discourage development of homes and other structures along creek basins.
At least two deaths and one missing person have been reported in Saturday's flood. A 29-year-old woman whose car overturned in the 400 block of West Rhapsody Drive was found dead early Saturday on the Northeast Side.
A 60-year-old woman trapped in her car along Leon Creek, which traverses the city's West Side, also was found dead after firefighters had tried to reach her. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office has a tentative identification on the two women but has not released their names.
To the northeast, police in Schertz were still looking for a 17-year-old boy who reportedly tried Saturday to cross Cibolo Creek, which serves as Bexar County's eastern boundary. Police have been searching since Saturday afternoon.
At the height of the storms, CPS Energy reported some 12,000 customers without power Saturday.
The utility's online power outage map currently indicates 18 outages throughout the city, affecting about 80 customers. The city's website shows 23 emergency street closures still in effect throughout San Antonio, including a section of U.S. 281 where heaving flooding occurred in the Olmos Basin.
Although dozens of residents near Mission Espada who were displaced by the storms may soon be able to return to their homes to clean up and assess damage on the South Side, officials are worried about downstream communities such as Floresville, which was struck by devastating floods as water rose beyond the banks of the San Antonio River after the 1998 downpour.
If no more flooding occurs today, Saturday's storms will go down in memory as less menacing than the floods of '98 and 2002.
San Antonio Water System officials have said the deluge could delay unprecedented Stage 3 lawn-watering restrictions for at least a week or two. As the Edwards Aquifer has hovered lately at about 18 feet below its May average, SAWS has prepared to soon limit watering with sprinklers to once every other week.
A confirmed tornado struck the northeastern suburb of Live Oak early Saturday, causing some structural damage, the weather service said.
The San Antonio area, with a hilly, uneven topography and creeks and basins crisscrossing the terrain, is vulnerable to flooding, the deadliest type of weather hazard, followed by extreme heat, according to the weather service.
In 1921, a local flood from a 7-inch rainfall killed 50 people and prompted construction of Olmos Dam, completed in 1925.
The 1990 death of Cassandra Rodriguez, a popular young singer, in the floodwaters of San Pedro Creek at the Five Points Intersection near downtown also put a spotlight on the need for local flood control. A $1.4 million jury award helped spur the city to improve that intersection and form the Fire Department's technical rescue team in 1993.
The 1998 flood, fueled by an upper-level trough, gulf moisture and instability from a Pacific hurricane, claimed 32 lives in several counties, including 11 fatalities in San Antonio that all involved motorists caught in flooding.
It displaced more than 10,000 people from their homes and caused heavy damage, estimated by some in excess of $1 billion.
Officials have said the damage that year could have been much worse, had it not been for the 1997 completion of a $111.4 million flood-control tunnel stretching 3.1 miles underground, protecting the downtown area by diverting 3 million gallons of rainwater per minute.
But the '98 flood stimulated public support to buy flood-prone properties with federal and local money, and to use land along creek beds for parks and hike-bike greenway trails.
Voters approved a bond issue in 1999 for low-water crossings and drainage, and backed a sales-tax increase the following year to protect water quality, control flooding and develop flood-control projects on Salado and Leon creeks.
Another devastating storm driven by a low-pressure system that stalled over Texas, officially dropping 9.52 inches at the airport on July 1, 2002, was part of a larger flood event that rivaled the '98 flood but caused fewer deaths - 12 in South Texas, including four in San Antonio.
The 2002 storms focused more on upper river basins, including the Guadalupe, causing water to spill over Canyon Dam and turning a river normally used for recreational tubing and rafting into a raging waterway.
A year after the 2002 flood, the city launched its "Turn Around, Don't Drown" campaign, augmenting its other efforts, including charging fines and rescue fees, to discourage drivers from attempting to pass through moving water covering roadways.
