Training with Kettlebells and Sandbags
Functional athletic training with little or no equipment has been making serious leaps in popularity recently. Whether you're training with your own bodyweight, hefting around a heavy sandbag, or swinging a kettlebell, these workouts combine strength training with flexibility and cardio for killer core workouts that improve your power and performance. They let you train healthy movement patterns across multiple planes for a functional stability and strength that will see you through your favorite athletic pursuits. Since you're training movement patterns, there are a few things to keep in mind to avoid injury and to get the most out of your session.
Safely. Setting up a safe environment is key when you're working with kettlebells. Keep a good amount of space between you and you any training partners (including pets!) and make sure you have a flat, stable floor to work on. Hopefully you won't lose control of your kettlebell, but it happens…so avoid injury and risk by training in a safe, forgiving space. You should also pay extra attention to picking up your bell or bag with good form. Avoid rounding your back and focus on bending your knees to pick up from a low position. You'll want to continue this action of lifting low and engaging your core throughout your workout.
Stability. Kettlebell and sandbag training sessions challenge your stability from your ankles up by taking you through a large range of motion with a shifting load. That's the reason some athletes tackle these sessions barefoot. Avoid highly cushioned shoes or those with elevated heels, which will add instability to your form and reduce the power of your actions. A minimalist shoe designed for weightlifting or cross training is a better bet and will let you use your feet to power through the movement.
Posture. Putting most of the load into your shoulders and upper back is a common mistake made by newcomers. Success in these training techniques requires more action in the lower body. Start with a lighter weight and work into a deeper squat, using the power of your legs and glutes to lift the weight. Press into your heels to lift your hips and focus on stabilizing the weight with your hips and low core as you move the weight to your shoulders (or higher). The kettlebell swing is a good movement to start with as you practice this sequence of actions. As the weight comes low, you should be bending the knees and shifting your weight back into your heels. As you swing the weight back up, you should reverse the process by pressing into your heels to lift your hips, powering the swing from your lower body and core. At this point, shift your weight forward and lift the kettlebell higher.
Finally, there are two are two basic approaches to choosing your swing height. Bringing the kettlebell to shoulder height works your core stability and ensures that you have control of the kettlebell. It's generally considered to be the safer approach. If your shoulders are healthy and your core strength is good, you can work into overhead swings.This is a bigger cardiovascular and strength challenge, and gives you the opportunity to work in additional movements (such as squats or twists) at the top of the swing. For more training ideas on how to use your kettlebells, kettelbellworks.com offers a great overview of ways to train and tips for getting the most from your training sessions.
In addition to kettlebells, sandbags are another versatile, low equipment option for strength training. A good bag should come with several, well secured handles, allowing you to work even more movement patterns than is convenient with a kettlebell. Men's Fitness has a nice starting workout, as well as tips for setting up your sandbag. Because of their shifting weight load, sandbags seriously challenge your stability. You can optimize this challenge by including (well-sealed) bags of water in your sandbag, or using a not-quite full bag. Both kettlebells and sandbags can be combined with bodyweight exercises and your favorite Vision Home Fitness equipment to add a bigger challenge to your movement patterns and increase your strength training load, preparing you for nearly anything.

Let's talk about pantry staples.
What's up in your kitchen cabinets? You know, the things you need to have around for meals you make on the regular. Or stuff you like to have for when you're in a pinch. (Ain't no shame in some store-bought soup, people.)
For me olive oil, garlic and onions are the base of every great meal ever, so I must have those. A variety of grains, rice, pasta, nuts, seeds and beans are the norm too. Vegetable broth is excellent to have on-hand and a seriously decked out spice drawer keeps me feeling secure.
I start to get uneasy if my canned tomato supply dips below 3 cans, I always have coconut milk for everything from curries to stirring in oatmeal, and frozen uncooked shrimp in the freezer is a great standby.
Having a well-stocked freezer and pantry is like an insurance policy on future good meals. When I'm tired and hungry or just feeling uninspired, the pantry is totally my secret weapon.
This dish is kind of my ideal pantry meal – it's a bunch of my old cabinet-dwelling favorites thrown together and looking good.
The broth comes together easily – it's packed with warming spices and rich coconut milk and is balanced out by light vegetable broth, fresh coriander and sweet prawns.
Shrimp with Coconut Coriander Broth
adapted from Food & Wine
I should mention coriander is cilantro and cilantro is coriander. Another Aus-American language discrepancy for the list!
– 2 tablespoons oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 1/2 a large red bell pepper (or 1 small one), finely diced.
– 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
– 2 tablespoons ground coriander
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
– 1 cup drained whole canned tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch/1-cm pieces
– 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or 1 15-oz./400-gram can)
– 1 cup vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup water
– salt
– 1 pound/1/2 kilogram large shrimp, shelled and de-veined
– 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro/coriander, with a little bit of the stems finely chopped
In a large pot or frying pan, heat the oil over a medium high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently – until golden, about 5 minutes. Add red pepper and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Add the ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, broth, water, and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook at a low boil, stirring frequently, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the pot and bring the broth to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just done, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped coriander. Serve immediately.

Hey guys,
Haven't been on here in ages, mostly because due to having absolutely no money or time, I kind of gave up with my Mando cosplay but recently I've started to get the interest back and I really want to try and get my Mando cosplay armor to come to life from what I imagine it looking like. I can't put into words how much I will appreciate any help you can give. I guess what I'd really be looking for is if anyone has any spare or old Mando armor pieces lying around that they could send me or something along the lines of that. I'm 19 years old, 5ft 5, average build so I'd appreciate all the help I can get to make it easier for me to just focus on the main parts like the helmet and painting and such. Which brings up the next topic, I saw a Mando helmet on here ages ago and I can't remember the name of it, it looked similar to the helmet of the shock trooper armor (jango, boba) but instead of being rounded, it was more... flat, with straight edges and all in all it looked incredibly ******!
What I'm trying to go for with my cosplay is some sort of post clone wars mando who used to be in the republic or whatever but after the war, ended up in level 1313 of Courascant and became a bounty hunter etc..
Along the lines of weaponry I was thinking it would be pretty ****** to have two hand cannon type guns (think space age revolvers or something) and a blaster with a scope of some kind. Color scheme would be mainly white with a black stripe going vertical down the middle of the helmet and chest piece, the visor would be green.
But yeah, all help will be appreciated so much! I don't exactly have a time limit for this as there are no expo's coming up that I'm desperate to go to just yet. Hopefully you guys can help me!

Single Head Fixed Output Metering Pump - 45MP1 Classic Series From Stenner
Single Head Fixed Output Metering Pump
How It Works
Stenners fixed output metering pump is built with two detachable components: the motor and pump head. Outputs are dependent upon the rpm of the motor gears and the size of the peristaltic pump tube. The fixed rate pump has no output adjustment. All Stenner metering pumps have a 3-point roller design in the pump head, which acts as a check valve to prevent back flow, siphoning, overdosing and loss of prime.
The motors output shaft rotates at a fixed rpm which drives the roller assembly within the pump head. The chemical solution in the pump tube is captured between the rollers as they rotate and compress the tube. As the rollers advance, the squeezed tube section regains its original form and generates a vacuum, creating the self-priming feature that delivers a constant flow unaffected by the outlet pressure.
45MP1 Classic Series
A rotating assembly of rollers compresses a flexible tube within a housing to create a vacuum to lift a chemical solution. The self-priming peristaltic pump is also referred to a hose, tube or dosing pump.

Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Well - - I picked her up Friday evening... everthing seems to be working for the moment..
However, with the first speed-bump I hit, The light assembly over the passenger seat popped out. I can only assume the mechanic removed it during the roof repair and didn't quite get it back in place. I learned a couple of things putting it back.
1. Looking up into the hole where the light goes - trying to figure out what holds it up there, I could see that there is indeed "Just" a piece of glass over the luggage compartment area... you could very easily just cut a hole in the headline and have a sun roof back there.... So why did GM put the glass, and not a hole in the headliner? Probably $$$.
2. Interior parts click together like those old beginner model car kits.. be careful you don't break a plastic prong. And like those old model car kits - the plastic parts really don't like being un-snapped and then re-snapped.
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Professor Wizard,
I apologize for the delay in response; I was out of the office. I am glad to see that you got everything fixed. I do not have powers to authorize something like that. If I could, I certainly would! If you speak with Cadillac Customer Assistance they might be able to work something out with the dealership. I highly encourage you to give them a call since I don't have any authority to give out any type of goodwill. If you decide to give them a call, let me know the outcome. As I was about to respond to you, I noticed that there was another post I missed. I am sorry to hear that your light popped out. Did your fix correct the issue with your light?
Thank you,
Elizabeth, Cadillac Customer Service
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
I put the light back myself - - it took 3 tries, but it is "acting" like it might stay up this time.
If it falls out again, I'll be taking her back to ELCO.
I am waiting for that "Customer Survey" I am supposed to get after my car was worked on - - I have yet to get one. :: it will reflect that I am very happy with ELCO, yet, very disappointed with Cadillac and GM. (But somehow, I don't think it will ask any questions about being happy with my SRX - only questions about if I am happy with my dealership.)

Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Professor Wizard,
Good to hear that you got your light to stay in! Please let me know when you receive the survey. I am not sure what the questions are on the survey but if there are not any on how you feel about Cadillac or GM let me know.
Thank you,
Elizabeth, Cadillac Customer Service
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Update: August 11, I got a call today from the Service Manager at ELCO.
Very nice guy!
He had gone over his records and noticed that I had my SRX in 11 times since the beginning of the year. He was concerned I might be mad at ELCO... of which I am NOT! But I did tell him that I am not so much impressed with Cadillac or GM!
We chatted a bit about my SRX, and he left me with the impression he was going to try to see what he could do about the headlamp, and maybe even a Cadillac Hat!
I'm glad that he called - - It did make me feel better over-all.
I didn't drive my SRX this week - we're having wonderful weather here in STL, so I am driving my Convertible and my Motorcycle instead.
The good news is :: If I don't drive the SRX - nothing breaks!
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Wanna bet?
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Good point Glake...
So - - she is in the shop again.
I get in to drive to work this morning, and the seat back didn't feel right - - so I go to adjust the Lumbar and .. WirrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRrrRrrrrrrrRrR... and nothing moves.. just Wirrrrr...
So, I took her in to get that fixed.
Looking back :: This is actually the 3rd time for that drivers seat lumber thing.
I don't really get it... I very rarely ever move the thing, and I only weigh 160 (5'8") which isn't particularly heavy.
The Lumbar in the Passenger seat gets messed with a lot, and never has had a problem (Knock on wood).
I tried to catch the Service Manager when I dropped Humpty off this morning, but he wasn't in yet... so it looks like I won't be getting my Caddy Hat.

Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Hi Everyone just joined. Our 2007 SRX AWD V8 we just bought in July from a Cadillac dealer had a power steering pump failure at 50,000 miles the pump was repaired under warranty. I did get an extended warranty. Other than that a great vehicle, best we have ever owned for the whole 1 1/2 months we have had it,went from a Yukon Denali to the SRX and cannot be happier. Performance and Utility. From the service records and car fax the only problems this SRX ever had in its 50,000 mile life was front brakes and drivers seat upholstery repaired 38,000 miles.
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Wayne.. congrats on a good find - - you will love your SRX.
Got mine back last night - - they replaced something in the Lumbar that was stripped.
I did note, that when I got in the seat was way back so I hit the "1" on the door and I felt the Lumbar move - - it ran itself out to the very end...
made me wonder if perhaps the automatic memory thing was putting the lumbar out too far.. ... so I adjusted it back a little and reset the memory control.
I guess I'll find out if that takes care of the problem.
No Cadillac Hat - - no passenger side Headlight Module.... but then, I didn't get to chat face2face with the boss man.
I'm fairly confident that there will be opportunities in the near future to have that conversation.

Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Welcome to the forum, Wayne. I've put 33,000 pleasurable and functional miles on my CPO SRX in the past 19 months and the odometer is now a tad over 58K. Hope your experience is as good as mine.
Prof......is this Gremlinitis thing contagious? If so, do you disinfect your keyboard before posting so we don't catch it?
Glake......my dealership refuses to add a gremlin disgronifier to its inventory of high tech repair equipment, said it would put too many people out of work.
I plan on taking my SRX for a few things sometime in September. Not much to get taken care of, but may as well keep the list small and tolerable.
The cruise control, used several times a week, suddenly stopped working for about a 3 week period but then mtsteriously started working again this week for no apparent reason, much to my delight. Had checked the fuses per Glake's advice (he told me which fuse box to check since the owners' manual listed everything from soup to nuts for all three boxes (relays and fuses) EXCEPT cruise control. But nothing was amiss.
The UltraView is still balky on and off when closing. I use that daily. Doesn't balk/reverse on closing when I am driving on the highway. Only during city driving, when sitting at idle, or when being operated on the accesory ignition mode.
The sunshade has begun Prof's snap, crackle, pop, and sag following a "boing" sound (highly technical auditory term). I use that daily.
And the AM reception (not FM or XM) comes and goes. Connectors need dielectric grease? I use AM daily for sports talk shows.
There. I feel better now. I can just print this out and hand it to the Service writer when I take the SRX in. Wonder if they will give me a CTS-V for a loaner. Nah, didn't think so.
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Back in Again...
So :: I tossed my netbook (in it's case) into the back seat this morning... Driving to work I had to hit the brakes pretty hard once and it slid off into the floor on the passenger side of the back seat.
When get to work, I reach in and pick it up and it is SOAKING WET!... I am like WTF... I put my hand on the carpet and it is DRENCHED, and I look an there is almost standing water in the floor... So I check the front and it is the same.. and I look under the seat, and I see puddles of water in the low spots...
The netbook is fine - only the neoprene case got wet, but it still protected the netbook.
AC has gone blitz and dumping water into the passenger side floor.
Back in she goes tomorrow AM for that.

Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
I find it difficult to believe that the AC evaporator could condense that much moisture. Having lived in the St. Louis area, where both heat and humidity can be excessive at times, I guess you can't rule it out. I tend to agree with the possibility of a leaking Ultraview or perhaps a heater hose issue.
Hopefully, the problem can be resolved in one visit this time.
Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?
Service Writer just called with an update.
The AC Drain Hose clogged... water was from AC Evap overflowed the holding tank.. and yes, it can produce that much water. and if you don't' have a passenger who is getting their feet wet to inform you there is a problem, you can drive for a couple of days without knowing.
They are keeping it overnight... blew out the hose to clear it, and have removed the carpet to shampoo and spray with anti mold stuff.
They think I can pick her up tomorrow afternoon.
Oh yes... Remember that headlamp Assembly I was told they would try to get me for the right side... well.. that idea appears to be falling apart, as GM doesn't want to OK it. The Service Writer informed me of that during our call - I think he was trying to let me down easy. Honestly, I wasn't surprised.
By the way :: I went back over my thread and compiled a list of the things what went wrong with my car while I had it... the list is 41 separate items - although some of those items repeat, like the lumbar broke 3 times, and the Windshield Trim piece was replaced 4 times. If you take that number of items, divided by the time I have owned the car, and the Average Mean Time Between Failures works out the 2-1/2 weeks. So, every couple of weeks something broke, fell off, or went wrong with my SRX.
I must be getting more patient as I age - - because this car would have been so "gone" after about 4 months, if I were still 30!
Here is the list... for it's Comedic Value.
1. NAV wont' turn off - Blue Screen. (Not Fixed :: it is just that way)

I know there are a few things missing, as I hadn't written them all down at first because I never knew I would have so many!
The weird thing is after all that - I still love my SRX.

Student Life Office gearing up for Great American Smokeout
Release Date: 11/15/2013
University of the Ozarks will become a tobacco-free campus on Jan. 1, 2014, and to ease the University into the new policy, the Student Life and campus health offices have designed a "Change is in the Air" educational campaign. As a part of this campaign, they are encouraging everyone on campus to participate in the Great American Smokeout on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
The Great American Smokeout is a nationwide event sponsored by the American Cancer Society. On the third Thursday of every November, smokers and non-smokers in support of smokers pledge to quit (either tobacco or something else) for a day. The idea is quit for a day, then quit for life.
Sherrie Arey, dean of student life at Ozarks, said she hopes the event will help ease the campus community into the new tobacco-free policy that will take effect in less than two months.
"We've been looking at ways to offer support for those on campus that may be interested in quitting or cutting back while on campus," she explained. "November 20th is the Great American Smokeout, and we'll be allowing people to sign up as quitter for the day or as a supporter for the day."
As part of the Great American Smokeout on campus, Student Life will sponsor a healthy walk and a turkey raffle for anyone who pledges to quit for that day.
"Quitting smoking is an on-going struggle, and most people have to take it one day at a time," Arey explained. "We want everyone to understand how very difficult it is to quit smoking. It's a major life change. We want the entire campus to respectful of anyone who is taking on this challenge."
The new 100 percent tobacco-free policy applies to all faculty, staff, students and visitors to the University. The policy bans the use of all types of tobacco, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, on University property.
Emma Bottorff, director of campus activities, explains that there are plenty of resources available for anyone interested in quitting tobacco. Clarissa Hardman, campus nurse, will also host a free webinar about quitting strategies on Nov. 23.
"Our campus nurse will be providing Allen Carr's webinar, 'Easy Way to Quit Smoking.' The program will begin at 4 p.m. and last until 8 p.m., and we will provide refreshments," Bottorff said. "There are also several books available from the same program in the Robson library. We have a self-paced 'Freshstart Guide' for anyone interested in quitting at their own pace. There is also the national quitline, a free resource to for anyone. 1-800- QUIT NOW."
To pledge to quit for a day as part of the Great American Smokeout or for more information about quitting smoking, please contact the Student Life Office at 479-979-1322 or email@example.com.

I have noticed a lack of professionalism in the way some of the members here do business. I don't know if it is simply because of inexperience in the process of performing work-for-hire duties or what. Time and again, there are threads calling people out for something they were paid to do, but haven't responded to posts. There are many reasons people can't get online to respond.
Members here are the nicest, most helpful people that I have interacted with. The members of this forum that make, paint, repair, etc. props are for the most part here to enjoy a hobby. They do favors for people here because they can. To expect them to focus only on YOUR prop and give up their lives to get it done, is ignorant.
When I build or paint something for someone other than myself, I am more of a perfectionist than I am normally. I want the final product to be as perfect as possible. Perfection takes time, especially when the customer is not there to try it on, give feedback, etc.
Please, people, when you make a deal to do work-for-hire or have work done for you, get an estimate of the timeframe. Let the customer know about the progress. If there is anything keeping you from getting work done, let the customer know.
Customers: If you call someone out in an angry sounding post, the person doing the work for you may have good reason for not getting in touch with you. New members reading these posts may be reluctant to have such work done, and could ruin the process for everyone.
I guess what I am trying to get at is, be patient, there is no bounty hunter factory here. If you can't get hold of someone doing work for you, just ask someone. Many people here know each other outside of the forums.
I hope I have not offended anyone by this post. I am only trying to help.

i have a 16 and 20 inch 308s--haven't had a shoot off to see which one will pull the best MOA as one is scoped the other is iron sights.
the 20 inch scoped with a good scope ammo and mount is a solid 1.5MOA or even less at times depending on how good the ammo is. it does about 2inch moa on the steel case 308/7.62x51--pretty darn good if you ask me.

Marriage After 40
BY Jennifer Fulwiler
| Posted 9/10/12 at 5:36 AM
I recently had the pleasure of getting to know Lori Mazzurana, the marketing consultant for the John Paul II Life Center here in Austin. As part of a conversation discussing the many benefits of NaPro Technology for treating infertility, Lori mentioned that she was interested in this technology because she got married when she was over 40 and hoped to have a family. I had a great discussion with her about her experience being single longer than she'd hoped to be, as well as the benefits of marrying later in life. When my single friends caught wind of this they wanted to hear all of her insights, so I suggested that we do an interview for me to post (one of the many dangers of starting up a conversation with a blogger). Our correspondence is below:
. . .
1. Tell us a bit about your life before you were married. What did you do? Did you always know you were called to the married life?
I was a marketing and advertising professional within the U.S. Hispanic market and tourism fields, the later one which involved quite a bit of traveling. In my 20s I overvalued having a career and probably missed out on potential relationships. I always felt called to be married and having children, having grown up in a Catholic family with four other siblings and being around many other large Catholic families.
2. How did you and your husband meet?
Paul and I met through the Catholic church. I was hosting a share group at my home and some mutual friends of ours encouraged Paul, an introverted guy, who was attending another Catholic church, to join our group. I was thirty six and he was thirty one years old. We were friends for years before I realized that Paul was a "prince" -- a devoted, upright and strong faith-filled man and our relationship was becoming more than friends. It also took many years for me to whittle down the "list of requirements for a husband" to realize that Paul was the one. God was pruning me.
3. What was your experience as a single woman in your 30s?
In my thirties, I had reevaluated the importance of my career and God brought me to a Catholic church in Austin, Texas with a very vibrant and faith-seeking young adult group. Of course, I was looking for a husband like all the other single women in the group. It was a wholesome environment where I made long-life friends, but finding the right one within the church group was not happening. During all my thirties I prayed constantly for a husband, and dated a guy who was not a Christian believer for a couple of years. We had to end that relationship because my heart so deeply wanted a faith partner in life.
4. You mentioned that you benefited from NaPro technology when you were trying to have children. Tell us about that.
Paul and I started doing NFP as soon as we got married in 2000; I had just turned forty-one. I had warned him before we got married that I may not be able to conceive children and that we needed to start trying right away since my biological clock was ticking. We went to many OB/GYNs who offered to start me on fertility drugs and treatments, but dismissed seeing my NFP chart. We finally found a wonderful OB/GYN who practiced NaPro Technology. We had one early miscarriage and between him and our NFP counselor, they determined that I needed extra progesterone to help with the implantation of the embryo. This was what helped our pregnancies along and we now have two beautiful boys that are ages 10 and 8.
5. What are some of the benefits to getting married later in life?
The benefits to getting married later in life are numerous. The first one is realizing that my vocation as a wife involves doing everything I can to help Paul get to Heaven which may not be in sync with the priorities of the world. Secondly, is being more mature to know what relationships are important to cultivate as friends for ourselves, the family and children; and which relationships to stay away from. Thirdly, having more wisdom and conviction to raise children with orthodox Catholic beliefs in this world of relativism.
6. What would you say to women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond who feel called to the married life but who haven't met their spouse yet?
Persevere in steadfast prayer. And open yourself to where God may be calling you to changing your requirements in a mate. Some of these requirements were based on worldly values, for example having a husband who was taller than myself and who enjoyed an active social life. I had to let go of some of these and as our marriage has progressed I have seen how fleeting these worldly requirements were in the first place.
. . .
A big thanks to Lori for taking the time to chat with me! You can follow the great work that she and everyone else are doing at the John Paul II Life Center by visiting their website here.

Bahamas Recap: Green Bay Excels On and Off the Court
Bahamas Foreign Tour: Cumulative Stats
Game 1: Green Bay 81, Bahamas All-Stars 69 (Box I Highlights)
Game 2: Green Bay 92, Mail Boat Cybots 75 (Box I Highlights)
Game 3: Green Bay 75, Real Deal Shockers (Box I Highlights)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – With one 7-foot-1 exception, the Green Bay men's basketball team carried over momentum from 2012-13 in a number of ways on its trip to the Bahamas.
The Horizon League leader in defense and rebounding a season ago held its three opponents to just 32.4 percent shooting and posted a plus-11.7 rebounding margin.
First-team All-Horizon League point guard Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill) averaged 24 points and six assists per game.
Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) had a team-best eight dunks.
Despite all-conference big man Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) sitting out all three games with a sprained ankle, head coach Brian Wardle's team used its defense, rebounding and athleticism to post an undefeated 3-0 record on its foreign tour.
Wardle's primary goal for the team during the foreign tour was improving off the court, and the Phoenix was able to grow closer together and build team chemistry. On the team's off day on Wednesday, the players and staff was able to go on a snorkeling trip in the Atlantic Ocean. To see pictures from the trip, click here.
SYKES STATS: Sykes picked up where he left off a season ago, when he averaged 15.9 points per game. The 5-foot-11 guard scored 20 or more points in all three Bahamas contests, including 26 each in the final two wins to average 24 points per game. Scoring was not the only area where Sykes was stuffing the stat sheet, however, as the explosive guard also averaged 6.3 steals, 6.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. In Tuesday's win, Sykes had 26 points and nine assists. On Thursday, he made 15-of-18 free throws and the eventual game-winning shot en route to 26 points and nine steals.
MAYDAY: As impressive as Sykes was on the trip, Mays may have been the most consistent Phoenix player. The junior started the week with 19 points and 10 rebounds in a win over the Bahamas All-Stars. Mays then had 12 points and nine rebounds on 5-of-7 shooting against the Cybots on Tuesday. He finished the week with two early dunks and nine points and nine rebounds against the Real Deal Shockers. Leading the team in minutes, his consistency led to averages of 13.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Mays also shot 51.7 percent and grabbed 13 of his 28 rebounds on the offensive end.
HUMPDAY RETURNS: Wednesday was an off day on the trip, but Josh Humphrey returned for the Phoenix after missing all of 2012-13 with a knee injury that required microfracture surgery. The sophomore had 10 rebounds in the opener, knocked down two three-pointers on Tuesday and finished the week averaging 3.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
LONG WAIT ENDS FOR AMAC: Junior Alfonzo McKinnie (Chicago, Ill.) sat out in 2012-13 after transferring from Eastern Illinois. The 6-foot-8 forward showed in the Bahamas that he was well worth the wait. Despite playing a team-low 14 minutes per game, McKinnie was third on the team in scoring (10.7) and tied Mays with a team-best 9.3 rebounds per contest. Playing a variety of positions, the versatile McKinnie shot 54.5 percent from the field (12-22), 66.7 percent from long range (2-3) and 85.7 percent from the charity stripe (6-7).
TRANSFER POWER: McKinnie was not the only transfer showing he can help Green Bay in 2013-14. Senior Vincent Garrett (Chicago, Ill.), a Rutgers transfer who was granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA, averaged 8.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in just 16.7 minutes per game. Garrett showed ability to score from inside and out, and his 12-point, 11-rebound effort on Thursday helped the Phoenix rally for the win.
FLYING PHOENIX: With an incredible 23 in three games, Green Bay recorded 26.7 percent of its made field goals via dunks. With Mays leading the way with eight, the Phoenix had six different players record at least one dunk on the trip. McKinnie and Garrett each totaled five dunks in three games.
BAHAMAS BOARDWORK: The top rebounding team in the Horizon League a season ago, Green Bay was strong on the glass in the Bahamas. Five different players had 10 or more rebounds in at least one game, and three players – McKinnie, Mays and Garrett – had double-doubles on the trip.
THE PHOENIX ADJUSTS TO FIBA: Green Bay adjusted to a variety of rules differences on its trip to the Bahamas. The three contests were played under the rules of the International Basketball Federation, or FIBA. Some of the major rules that the Phoenix players adjusted to included: four 10-minute quarters instead of two 20-minute halves; a 24-second shot clock versus a 35-second shot clock; and a three-point distance of 22'1.7" instead of 20'9". The way FIBA referees call traveling was also an adjustment, as FIBA rules dictate a player holding the ball from a stationary stance and begins dribbling must dribble the ball before moving his feet.

Last-ditch talks held in Buffalo area

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- We now know the Federal Reserve was terrified of the crisis brewing in 2007. Something was wrong, but no one knew what. The central bank called together three emergency conference calls in 2007 as the housing and financial crisis was beginning to frighten investors. The Fed made publicly available on Friday the conversations of meetings from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the policy-making wing of the Fed. The minutes of the meetings reveal that Fed policymakers referred to TheStreet founder Jim Cramer's famous televised rant about the crisis, which follows our summary of the Fed proceedings. Aug. 10, 2007, 8:45 a.m. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke held an emergency meeting to inform FOMC members that the central bank would be issuing a statement later in the day to say that it would provide liquidity to maintain "orderly functioning" of the financial markets. "As you know, financial markets have been fragile," Bernanke said. "They appeared to continue to be fragile overnight. There are difficulties with commercial paper funding and other short-term funding and a lot of concerns about counterparty risk." Bernanke then turned to New York Fed President William Dudley, then the manager of the System Open Market Account, who revealed that two troubled companies were driving the market's uncertainty: Washington Mutual and Countrywide (now part of Bank of America ( BAC)). Also stoking fears was pressure on commercial paper markets in Europe and the U.S. "Washington Mutual and Countrywide have both made statements in their 10-Q filings that unnerved the market a little, Washington Mutual saying that they're having some trouble in terms of liquidity and Countrywide saying that there are unprecedented disruptions in the credit market," Dudley said. Worries about these two companies, according to the conversations, hadn't yet prompted concerns that other financial institutions were beginning to feel the pressure. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, then the vice chairman of the FOMC and New York Fed president, chimed in to reassure members that the "more diversified" institutions had reported no funding pressure and that money actually was flowing to them. "That, of course, could change quickly," Geithner said. "But apart from those that are more narrowly in the mortgage market that can't basically sell any non-agency products, I don't think we're seeing any sense of funding pressure." Prev 0 of 3 Next

With advertising and marketing an essential component of every modern businesses, one medium which is increasingly used is banners. Ideal for achieving results in any sector and setting, they are perfect for promotions, launches, events and all manner of roles. To ensure the best delivery, banner printing by professionals is always the best way forward.
Where a banner really excels is in the ability it has to announce messages with impact. By announcing the key selling points of a campaign this way, the desired message is clear to the target audience. With the correct design and images, along with appropriate text and layout, professional banner printing can encourage an audience to react positively to the promotion.
Equally ideal as temporary fittings or permanent displays, banners are one of the most cost- effective forms of advertising. For a shop opening, they are ideal for creating a sense of occasion, for example. If hosting a stall at a local fair, they are perfect. naturally, the design of professional banner printing is key to the success of the final product. With increased competition it is important that a company gets noticed. Whether you are a consumer- or business-to-business enterprise, customers are increasingly demanding, requiring a level of awareness about your brand that has to be maintained.

Hello - I am a long time Boba Fett fan, I had the original mail order Fett as well as the 12" figure that you could look through his helmet. I collect tons of the toys today and have been building and designing costumes my whole life and have been always putting Boba off in the distance as the "ultimate challenge."
I can navigate the site fairly well, but even well worded searches don't seem to be givig me the results I need, so I was hoping some generous members can give me a push in the right direction.
First I need a complete parts list for a ROTJ Fett
Second I need suggestions for amazing threads/tutorials that can help guide me
Third, I would love your advice for retailers/sellers for the various parts.
I can't sew, but I can paint and craft. I plan to take about 2 years, so I don't mind going the inexpensive route that requires more "talent." (but I can't sew).
I do want screen accuracy, I do want working LED, I do want a voice modulator. I don't know that I want a gun, but I would still want information on its components or a good source to get a kit from.
So any links to galleries, sellers, tutorials, sources, fact and other fun stuff is greatly appreciated.

Arsène Wenger admits he is baffled whenever Arsenal are criticised from a financial perspective.
The Frenchman attended Thursday's Annual General Meeting at Emirates Stadium alongside Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis, majority shareholder Stan Kroenke and Chairman Peter Hill-Wood.
Wenger sympathises with Arsenal fans who feel frustrated about their team's start to the season on the pitch but he says there is no doubt about the Club's strength off it.
"At the end of the day, when we look well at the situation, we are in a strong position," said Wenger.
"If you look at the quality of the players we have, and also financially - we are one of the few clubs in England who balance the accounts.
"Rather than being praised for that we are slaughtered for it. In a world that is bankrupt, it is quite amazing, so I think the situation is not as negative as the impression our fans could have."
Wenger moved to quell shareholder concerns at the AGM and hopes that most fans are positive about Arsenal's future.
"I hope that they [the fans] were less worried and convinced about the situation," he said.
"Of course I spoke to the fans afterwards. They want to do well, to be happy, to win football games, and that is what we want as well.
"You had 400 people in there - one or two [angry] voices percentage-wise is nothing. I didn't feel anger or disagreement with the Board.
"I felt more fear and concern that we have dropped off the top teams in England, which you can understand with the start we had."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

That is a nice slave Leia. Her costume is very well done. however, as I said at the RPF, I am afraid slave Leia will forevermore be blonde in my memories. ;)
I couldn't agree more Braks...funny how that works.
Wish I could be there, I know they are having an absolute blast!
You guys look great!! I'm sure it's gonna be a blast. I'm looking forward to all the pics and updates.
They pre sold double the C2 attendance, and that was about 27,000 over 3 days. They are guessing for the time being around 60,000 over 4 days this time. Its MAD busy. The first 2 days here i got in on the fan club line about 1.5 hours after the doors opened. The C3 store is closing around 12pm due to overcrowding. Lots o people arent even getting into the store yet. I know i havent. The art show was really cool. Got a NICE OT print.
More pics later
Lots of great costumes today... Even a George Lucas Flanneled TROOPER :LOL

Ok, so as everyone knows, when you "finish" your Fett, it's never really finished and you're always thinking about ways to make it look, feel or work better. So in my random thoughts about this past Halloween and the future of trooping, I remembered a small issue I had with my harness and JP. See, after many hours of being in it, it does shift time to time especially if you need / try to sit at all.....and it did rub a small bit on the backplate, which caused a small paint issue that I don't want to see turn into a BIG paint issue after what I paid for this whole thing, and all of the weight on the harness for extended periods when you have several herniated and bulging discs in your neck and back is never good....even if the entire Fett outfit weighs far less and is far more comfortible than my Vader ever could be.
So...I thought, what if I just put a few strips of industrial strength velcro between the backplate and the JP to go along with the harness clips? You wouldn't see them for one, it would prevent any shifting at all and keep it exactly where it should be, for two, and it would also help to keep it more secure and spread out the weight a bit of the JP.
For reference, here's a link and an image of the BobaMaker JP / harness setup :

I went to the range today and the people there are very unsafe they all wave the guns around with out paying any attention to who they are pointing at I decided to shoot to get my concealed permit and got the hell out of there
Printable View
I went to the range today and the people there are very unsafe they all wave the guns around with out paying any attention to who they are pointing at I decided to shoot to get my concealed permit and got the hell out of there
Where was the rangemaster?
no rangemaster it was a public range in the ocala national forest so never go there unless u are lookin to accidentally get shot
For the highest level of safety and satisfaction, find a local NRA sponsored range/gun club to join.
I have never been to the range in the ocala national forest, but I have been to the public range in Lake City a few times. I hear they are about the same, just that the Lake City rifle range goes out to 200 instead of 100.
From looking around the range you would think people are trying to shoot the concrete barriers that separate the two pistol and one rifle range areas. Sometimes if your lucky, a person will come out and change out the woden target stands or there will be relatively fresh ones available. I hear they have to do it once a week because so many people have bad aim and they just get shot up after awhile, who knows. But the first time I was trying out my new PVC/wooden target stand, one of the range personell that was visiting came up to me and told me to use a premade stand he was dropping off as mine was too short and would cause bullets to skip off the ground and over the backstop. So sure enough on my next visit someone made the same mistake, and when I was changing my target on the rifle range out at the 200 line I could hear the bullets whizzing over the backstop of the pistol area next to me. I had never been that close to a speeding bullet away from the firing line before and it was certainley a weird experience for me. All I could think about was the line from the movie black hawk down, "A hiss means its close..." After that I went over to the gentleman on the pistol range who was shooting his AK-47 at a campaign sign target stand only 10 yards away, and informed him why the target stands that are provided are as tall as they are. He apologized, but it kind of makes you wonder.
Not sure if this next one is a tall tale or not, but it is one of those friend of a friend stories so who knows. But apparently a gentleman was changing his target at the 200 yard line when a new group of shooters arrived at the rifle range. Despite having all his gear and gun still laid out at the firing line, these new shooters set up another campaign sign target at the 25 yard line and started shooting, WITH THE GUY STILL CHANGING HIS TARGET AT THE 200 LINE! Incredible... (BTW, according to the afore mentioned range worker, the regular targets need to be at least 50 yards away on the rifle range not to skip bullets over the backstop.)
And apparently in Polk County someone was not exercising their better judgement and safe gun handling practices when they went to lay their pistol down on the bench but had it turned to the side, with their off hand over the muzzle. Sure enough, the gun went off and the round went through his hand, his wife's arm, and into an innocent's shoulder and out his neck. Last I heard everyone was stable and would make a full recovery. But man, it makes one wonder if being the "jerk" and saying something is worth it or not. Some people I have met won't, but I don't see the point in taking the risk.
And I agree that the best solution is to find a NRA sponsored range/gun clubs that can provide a safe enviornment.
I heard about this story Saturday night.....and My Dad and I were taking my wife and my sister out to teach them to shoot their very first guns the very next day!!!!!!! Yea needless to say my wife was already a little worried before arriving.

Arlington Virginia (VA) Bluetooth Technology – Using Bluetooth Technology, Arlington Virginia (VA)
It's about time we are able to say "so long" to all of our wired devices. With Bluetooth technology we can use many of our smaller electronics without needing a wired connection. With the sole intention of replacing the cables for fixed and or portable electronics, Bluetooth has the market. Using short wavelength radio transmissions, Bluetooth is a wireless technology for sending and receiving data. Bluetooth technology makes transferring data between devices simple and secure. Because Bluetooth technology only sends and receives info within your PAN or Personal Area Network, your data is secure. Bluetooth range is approximately 10 meters or 33 feet.
Many of our electronic devices today have Bluetooth technology built in making it easier to do things such as print from our computers or laptops with out having a wired connection, talk on our mobile phones using a wireless headset, and connecting our phones to our cars or GPS navigation systems for hands free talking. There are even wireless mouse's and keyboards that use Bluetooth technology so that you don't have as many wires for your PC or you can connect them with your laptop when you are on the go. Bluetooth technology has actually made wireless communications easy and fun. Some of the companies that use Bluetooth technology in their devices are Ericsson, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, Cannon, Motorola, Nokia, Toshiba, Samsung, Apple, and TiVo.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mercury, Dec 17, 2006.
Re: The Delfino project he made $338,000 for that?
Re: The Delfino project Indeed.
Re: The Delfino project Maybe Murray needs to have a fire lit under his ass. Give his minutes to Delfino when CB gets back and let's see if that sparks any interest in him to start playing team ball. His one-on-one antics with 18 seconds left on the shot clock are ridiculous.
Re: The Delfino project DD, that is pretty much Murray's career. It's why his signing as a backup PG was met with a lot of and amongst the fans who have seen him play in Seattle. Petition Spot - Sonics fans demand the trade of Flip Murray
Re: The Delfino project Delfino plays defense (including the passing lanes), rebounds, handles and MIGHT finish. He has better chemistry, as he should. My personal belief is that most coaches who never played in the NBA (cept Daly) don't have a feel for when a player is hot or hurtin. Delf HAS been yanked at some inopportune times. FlipS can't seem to "read" that. Delfino is gonna get the "look-off" if confidence in his shot ain't there. He's doin the right thing by goin to the glass. That's the smart move and Delf's gotta keep that up. FlipM is SUPPOSED to be a scorer. He ain't deliverin. He's gotta go.
Re: The Delfino project There seems to be this misconception floating around that Delfino can't shoot. Well, it's wrong, Delfino can shoot. And as he has played, his shot has gotten better. 36% rooky year, 40% last, 43% this year. NBA average is around 44%. Compared to the rest of the team, he shoots the same as Sheed and CB. And he's tied for 2nd (with CB) in 3 point shooting. If people don't have confidence in his shot, then who do they have it in? Only Rip, Prince, and the big guys shoot noticeably better % wise, and the big guys mostly make dunks. So for the last time, I don't want to hear how CD can't shoot. Unless someone has some kind of stats to show otherwise, he can. I have a feeling Delfino could lead the team in fg%, and people would still complain about his shooting. BTW, Mr. Bigshot is a career 41% shooter, this is only the 2nd year ever, in his career where he is shooting 43% (rounding up) or higher, and the first time CB shot better than 43% was in his 8th year!!!!!
Re: The Delfino project I've noticed that his shot has been really true when he has the time and space to go completely through his motion. Contrary to popular belief, he's developing nicely into a spot up jumpshooter because his mechanics are improving.
Re: The Delfino project Yep, according to 82games.com, he has the best eFG% on jumpshots of any player on the team at 50%. Last year his eFG% on jumpshots was 40.6%, and in his rookie year it was 34.5%. (Note: eFG% takes into account three pointers being worth more than 2's.) That's very encouraging IMO. It shows he's been working on his game, and he's doing everything necessary to get on the floor. The first year, Larry knocked his defense (rightfully so), and he came in the following year one of our best perimeter defenders. Last year it was his jumpshot. Now he has improved leaps and bounds (noted in his FT% as well). How many guys go from a 57% FT shooter to an 87.5% FT shooter in only two years? Hopefully he shows Max a thing or two in that regard. And rebounding for that matter. Next up he needs to work on his mid-range game and he needs to slow himself down when he gets near the rim. He looks like he's always trying to rush shots around the rim. If he learns how to do that and how to look for contact when he penetrates, Flip won't be able to keep him off the floor.
Re: The Delfino project Good post
Re: The Delfino project I think the misconception comes from games where he only gets to take 2 or 3 shots. If he misses them, it seems like he is shooting poorly and they stick in everyone's mind. Rip and Chauncey have a lot of games where they start off 0 for 3 and end up having 20+ points.
If only he could speak better English! I think he has the ability to run the point or at least bring the ball and set the plays up, but there's a communication gap with 'Fino and that effects his production. He also should be at the 2 and not the 3 to make better use of his skill set. I can live with a back court of Hunter/Blalock and Delfino. Heck, Hunter/Blalock, 'Fino, Dupree, Max and Dice and the floor doesn't seem all that bad. On Offense: Hunter and "Fino can move the ball on the break (not the greatest of passer, but they will pass the ball) and Dupree and Max can finish strong. Our half court puts Dice and Max at the rim. Defence: Dupree will hustle and rebound.
he definetely has- everyone who saw him during the world championships can tell you about that. He brought the ball up very often and ran some plays. I would love to see him doing that for the Pistons too.
Boy my jaw just about hit the floor this morning when I was reading the Free Press and quotes about Delfino being the only bright spot in the line-up with Chauncey out coming right from the twitching mouth of Flip Saunders. That must do a world of good for Carlos's confidence to have the coach say nice things about you that show up in the paper. Not that I'm a coach but I've always heard the philosophy of "praise in public, scold in private" works wonders on players. It's about time that Delfino will get some time running the point and look at the intriguing possibilities of having a big guard who can rebound looking to pass but still can drive and shoot the 3. It will create match-up problems for the other team but it does leave the Pistons vulnerable to the small quick guards that give us fits even when Chauncey is the PG. I'll be sitting back and getting the popcorn ready to see what happens once Chauncey gets back in the rotation to see if Flip Murray is still going to get minutes.
I hope when CB comes back we replace Murray as the back up PG with Delfino. I really believe that he can thrive at this position with all the weapons in front of him. Also think his shot would come around faster from here. He is a rythm player and I think that standing in the corner waiting for Rip and the other options without doing anything isn't helping him. He is a motion guy and needs to be moving. He is constantly cutting to the basket but it always seems like the play hasn't started yet.
Funny thing is Jaric is no more a PG than Delfino is. Seriously I doubt that Carlos could keep up with most PG's... Point forward?... sure nuff.
That's the part I worry least about. If he can do a decent job containing Dwyane Wade and Leandro Barbosa at the 2, he can do a respectable job on most point guards, or at least as good a job as Chauncey and Flip can. The Tony Parkers, Allen Iversons, Devin Harrises - maybe not, but the Pistons have traditionally assigned Rip and Lindsey Hunter to those players anyway. I'd worry more about his ability to handle full-court pressure from smaller players; Rajon Rondo had some success with that in the Boston game. He didn't cough it up, but he didn't have the speed or handle to dribble past it immediately, either.
Play him with Lindsey Hunter and Lindsey guards the point. Of course Flip will put the ball in Lindsey's hands and Carlos will be spotting up on the weak side.
Re: The Delfino project See this is what happens when you rely on STATS to tell you the whole truth. "Stats" sure don't tell you when shots were hit or missed. They don't have "stats" for body language. Delfino might finish and he might not. Every time he shoots, I'm hollarin "NO NO." Same with Lindsey. Ya know 16 as I'm typing this, I feel a lil better about Delfino overall. His best spot just might be at point since he ain't gonna light em up consistently. But that's OK if he plays within his game. But when it comes to pure shooting, let's not have a double standard for Delfino and LH.
Re: The Delfino project They actually do have a "clutch" stat that shows shots taken in 4th quarter or overtime with less that 5 minutes with neither team ahead by more than 5 points. Here is Delfino's profile: Carlos Delfino of the Detroit Pistons, clutch NBA player stats and data from 82games.com In those situations this year, Carlos is 2 for 2 from inside the paint and 5 for 8 from outside, with one 3-pointer (which was very memorable). He leads the team with a FG% of .600 and an eFG of .700 under pressure. The other Pistons rank: Dyess- .556 Murray- .500 Tay- .444 Rip- .420 CB- .346 (eFG of .423) Sheed- .304 Big men have the advantage since they tend to get those dunks and shots from inside the paint... unless your name is Sheed. Until proven otherwise, Delfino is a pressure player. [SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1][/SIZE][/SIZE]
''I'd worry more about his ability to handle full-court pressure from smaller players; Rajon Rondo had some success with that in the Boston game. He didn't cough it up, but he didn't have the speed or handle to dribble past it immediately, either.'' Another issue for Chauncey that suddenly disappeared when LB arrived. It's a valid concern for Delfino, but there's ways around that. Keeping another guard back for the first 5 seconds of the shot clock isn't going to kill the offense, I wouldn't think.

With more than 700,000 copies sold to date, Java in a Nutshell from O'Reilly is clearly the favorite resource amongst the legion of developers and programmers using Java technology. And now, with the release of the 5.0 version of Java, O'Reilly has given the book that defined the "in a Nutshell" category another impressive tune-up.
In this latest revision, readers will find Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition, does more than just cover the extensive changes implicit in 5.0, the newest version of Java. It's undergone a complete makeover--in scope, size, and type of coverage--in order to more closely meet the needs of the modern Java programmer.
To wit, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition now places less emphasis on coming to Java from C and C++, and adds more discussion on tools and frameworks. It also offers new code examples to illustrate the working of APIs, and, of course, extensive coverage of Java 5.0. But faithful readers take comfort: it still hasn't lost any of its core elements that made it such a classic to begin with.
This handy reference gets right to the heart of the program with an accelerated introduction to the Javaprogramming language and its key APIs--ideal for developers wishing to start writing code right away. And, as was the case in previous editions, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition is once again chock-full of poignant tips, techniques, examples, and practical advice. For as longas Java has existed, Java in a Nutshell has helped developers maximize the capabilities of the program's newest versions. And this latest edition is no different.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Java in a Nutshell, Fifth Edition is a Javan tiger, a subspecies unique to the island of Java. Although this tiger once offered unrivaled research opportunities due to its genetic isolation, these opportunities have been permanently lost due to human encroachment on the Javan tiger's habitat: in a worst-case scenario for the tiger, Java developed into the most densely populated island on earth, and awareness of the subspecies' precarious position came too late to secure the animals' survival even in captivity. The last known sighting of the tiger was in 1972, and it is now presumed extinct. Jamie Peppard was the production editor and proofreader for Java in a Nutshell, Fifth Edition.

Comments about oreilly Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition:
As a reference for command line applications in java it works great, but java has native support for guis (swing, awt). I'm personally more familiar with C++, and if I was writing a command line application I would use it because cross-compatibility is not an issue; however, the application that I need to write requires a GUI.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Superb as a textbook too
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
I use the 5th edition of Java in a Nutshell as the textbook for an undergraduate course on Java programming which focusses on concurrency and other "advanced" features of the language. Some of the students find the style intimidating initially, but they mostly adapt quite quickly. The very focussed tutorial material at the start of the book gives an excellent run through for anyone who can already program, and the API reference material at the back is extremely helpful for novices who need to browse to find out more about what the libraries can do. I think this is a superb teaching resource for anyone learning Java as a second or subsequent language. The on-line APIs are important too, but having a book to hand can make all the difference and this is the book to have.

A book you will use throughout your career
By Matthew Mark Miller
I disagree that this book is "not good for beginners." This is the book I learned Java from. The first few hundred pages constitute a condensed but never diluted tutorial with short and to the point examples on how to do everything in the language. There's no dalliance on minor points, no exercises, no workbook -- just the facts you need to get started WORKING with Java.For a while there wasn't a day when I didn't rely on this book to fill in when my knowledge was lacking. Even now, as a certified developer in his eighth year working with this stuff, there are times when I grab for the book to get an overview over some relatively obscure API or language feature.This is not a deep book. It does not proffer information that you can't get from other places. The API documentation is no replacement for a link to the platform API nor the tutorial a replacement for the language spec. Regardless, this book organizes essential information in an eminently usable way, and for that I give it highest marks. And then I'm buying yet another copy.

Excellent Reference
This is one of the best books I've ever seen. I am a computer science and computer engineering double major ready to enter the workforce after this semester, and while I've read computer book after computer book during my educational years, I have seen very few like this one.For me, this book had two key parts: A syntax overview portion in the front of the book and a very large reference to the Java API farther in. I was able to very quickly learn the essentials of programming in Java using the syntax chapters early (it should be noted that I had a lot of previous programming experience in other object oriented language). It gave me exactly what I needed without a lot of extra verbosity, and it used concise, well commented examples to help me see the basics. Once I started programming, the API reference was really helpful. It was faster to use than Sun's documentation, and it was selective in how much it would list for a class, which tended to make it much easier to find relevant information. I used this book constantly, and I know it saved me many hours of frustration. In short, if you are going to program in Java, this is the book you must have.
A COMPLETE reference guide

Java in a Nutshell, Fifth EditionBy David FlanaganFifth Edition March 2005 Series: In a NutshellISBN: 0-596-00773-61264 pages, $44.95 UShttp://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javanut5/This has to be one of the thickest "Quick Reference" books I've ever seen. The 5th Edition to Java in a Nutshell was updated to cover Java 5.0. The cover of this book under Java in a Nutshell reads "A Desktop Quick Reference". I understand how this book is more of a reference guide to Java rather than a run through of what Java is about, but the thickness of this book doesn't agree too well with being quick reference. There is a lot of this book to dig through and almost would benefit from a CD-rom version for the search functions.If you need a complete reference book to Java including Java 5.0, this book is for you. This book starts with an intro to Java and goes right into the syntax of Java from the ground up and Java programs from the Top Down. Chapter 4 covering Java 5.0 Language features is a nice addition to this 5th edition book. Chapter 5 covers the Java platform and then Chapter 6 goes into the security of Java including security risks. The different Java Development Tools are covered in Chapter 8 which is where a lot of beginners will probably want to glance over.The second part of this book is entirely a API Quick Reference, and here is where the book grows in thickness. I'm glad they added the first part of this part, "How to use this quick reference". Without this section, navigating between pages 385 through 1076 would be a bit more difficult when it comes to understanding how information is organized.This massive book contains 2700 lines of cleanly commented code that demonstrates how common tasks can be accomplished. Demonstration code is always an added bonus in a reference book as it'll give you the chance to see how certain things are put together rather than just reading about them individually. It'd be nice if this book was a bit lighter but atleast it covers everything it needs to cover and then some, along with being fairly easy to navigate. This book combined with a few Step-by-step Java books would make a completely Java CD Bookshelf and would make navigation of the information a lot easier.I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for Java information but this is definitely not the book for beginners to learn Java from.Mitch RandallPensacola Linux User's Group
