Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by burmafrd, Nov 1, 2006.
Hey - I'm all for chancing it in the 4th round.
Glenn is 34 and exceptional in the nickel. Woodson was great at 34, Everson Walls was starting for Parcells' last Super Bowl team at 34, Darrell Green was almost 40 when retired. Cornerbacks who have true coverage skills and not just pure speed games will maintain productive and lengthy careers. DeAngelo Hall on the other hand, he'll be done once he loses a step.
we do WR in the 1st, then I don't care what direction we head after
well if we can get someone to replace Henry when he "loses a step" that could be a blessing in disguise because then he can move over to FS and hold that down for a few years...
I don't think a corner is a must in this draft. we have a lot of money invested in newman, henry and glenn. if there is a good quality corner in the 3rd round or after then we should go for it.
I have to agree. We have a few other needs that make taking a corner anywhere higher than round 3 (and maybe even the first day) a bit of a stretch, although we do need to start thinking about adding some young talent to the corner position. CB might be a better first day pick in 2008.
I believe that we have to try our hand at OL again. Peterman and Rogers were both busts but we have no choice to go back to the well again.
CB and WR can wait a year if need be. Sooner or later, we need to replace Rivera and groom a replacement for Flo.
BPA is probably an LB most years that Parcells is here.:laugh2:
We should really be thinking OL - especially OT. Flo doesn't have too many years left on him and only has one year left on his contract. I always thought we could move him to RT but if Columbo keeps playing well he is a younger and cheaper alternative.
We also need to draft Rivera's replacement soon as he probably has one year left in him at the most.
CB is a definite possibility as I am afraid Henry's lack of speed will bite us in the arse sooner or later. I am still not sold on Reeves and Glenn probably only has one year left in him.
I disagree, I think we HAVE to draft a QB even if Romo works out. Bledsoe sure isn't sticking around next year. Even if Romo is it, we're one hit away from not having a QB. Obviously, we'll probably sign a FA to backup Romo (still under the assumption that Romo is the dude), and I think we still need a top flight QB to groom, or at least a hidden gem somewhere in the draft. I don't think we can count on getting lucky with an UDFA again. I'm not sure about the young guy we have right now, maybe he's good enough to trust the #3 duties to...don't know.....but I'd prefer a high to mid round, talented draft pick there.
BPA to an extent overall....I agree, no CB on day 1. But BPA of probably OT, OG, or WR (although we're pretty full at WR). I think Ginn would be tempting if he dropped to us because of his KR/PR abilities. I could also see a monster NT being on our draft board if there's one out there. Fergie is getting up there and Stanley didn't cut it.
We REALLY have a lot of options because I don't think we have a lot of needs. Obviously OL is our biggest if Romo is great the rest of the season.
If he's not, I think we'd be in a good position to do a blockbuster trade up and get someone like Quinn. We could use our FA money to upgrade the OL. I'm hoping for Steinbach at G as our top priority if he doesn't demand a Hutchinson-like contract.
It's my opinion that you can't go wrong drafting a QB and DB at least in the later rounds every draft.
Fred Bennett?
Dallas should have been drafting a QB at least once every three years. It is the most valuable position in the league, and even if you don't have room for an extra one they are the best trade bait. Just like a college team that doesn't recruit a QB on average once a year, an NFL team that doesn't keep developing them ends up like, well, the post-Aikman Cowboys.
Then you havn't seen Aaron Ross play. He's one of the favorites for the Thorpe award and has played better than just about any other corner this year. Check him out.
Quentin Jammer and Rod Babers were at Texas before defensive back coach Duane Akina came. Since him he's put out DBs like Nathan Vasher, Cedric Griffin, and Michael Huff. Aaron Ross is much more talented than Vasher and Griffin.
That's a cheap site that isn't very good. They don't update their rankings during the season. The best site is Scott Wright's site. http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/rankings/cb.html
Ross should be ranked as the 3rd or 4th best corner.
Even if he doesn't pan out as a CB, he's one of the top punt returners in the country. He's returned two punts for TDs this year, two last year, and owns the Texas record for punt returns/TD.
He's not worthy of a 1st round pick, but the cowboys shouldn't look at anybody under 300lbs in the 1st round, but he'd be perfect in the 2nd round.
I should rephrase - just say no to taking them in the first round. 3-5 is fine by me. But the strength of UT's defense has long been their line - the rest of their players have always looked better because of it.
Daymeion Hughes is a bad, bad boy. I've watched him play every game this year being a Cal alum/fan that I am. The guy is a player and will do very well in the NFL. He's big, super athletic, and is excellent at reading plays.
He currently leads the Pac-10 in picks and is 2nd in the nation.
Ya I wouldn't take him in the 1st round, he's not another Huff. I'd like to get him in the 3rd round, but the way he's playing I'm sure he'll be a 2nd round pick. I think he's worth taking that high.
That has always been true. The Texas secondary is so devestated with injury. Terrell Brown has a broken bone in his foot, Marcus and Michael Griffin have both been banged up with injuries. The past few games we've been forced to start a true freshman Deon Beasley at corner oppiosite him. Aaron Ross has been the one bright spot of that unit.
I just disagree with the college position theory. Good thing nobody told the chiefs that Penn State RBs have failed in the leauge
Has Huff done anything in his rookie campaign?
ill be mad when newman leaves..i dont kno..wenever somebody throws to his side..i feel that when somebody throws his way..its about to get picked off
it will bel hard for me to feel that way about anyone else
He is good but not unique in his talents, there will be another. Besides he'll play another 5 or 6 years.

Big data is coming to security, RSA says, and it will change the face of today's security technology and practices.
In a report issued Wednesday (PDF), the security company offered a look at how data analytics will be applied to IT security, and how enterprises can ride the new wave.
The analysis of unstructured data will enable companies to more intelligently assess threats and risk, the report says. This analysis will extend to a broad variety of security technologies and everyday practices, it says.
"Within the next two years, we predict big data analytics will disrupt the status quo in most information security product segments, including SIEM; network monitoring; user authentication and authorization; identity management; fraud detection; and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC)," RSA says.
Security departments are currently awash in data from logs and event management systems, but many enterprises find it hard to derive the meaning from all that information, RSA observes. The deep analysis of security data will lead to better methods of assessing threats and stopping attacks, the report states.
"In the next three to five years, we predict that data analytics tools will further evolve to enable a range of advanced predictive capabilities and automated, real-time controls," RSA states.
To take advantage of new data analysis capabilities and practices, security teams will have to add tools and processes for collecting and analyzing security data in-depth, the report says. But a shortage of qualified personnel could gate this trend.
"Security teams need analysts who combine data science with a deep understanding of business risks and cyberattack techniques," RSA says. "Personnel with these skill sets are scarce, and they will remain in high demand. As a result, many organizations are likely to turn to outside partners to supplement internal security analytics capabilities."
Over time, big data will enable organizations to automate some of the security processes that are done by humans today, the report says.
"Big data analytics, when used within an intelligence-driven security program, automates many risk assessments and threat detection processes and puts the advantage of time back in an organization's hands," RSA states. "Big data analytics also helps enhance situational awareness and shorten reaction times to potential risks and problems."

That's probably what I was seeing after looking at it again. I think the shape you have looks great, but I was just looking at that pic in the background and that was throwing it off. Keep up the good work.

looks bad ***......
Please ship your GM lid to me for inspection.
*simply awesome man!
It looks amazing as always! Love the illuminated view of the helmet, it gives a lava effect to it!
Nice lines.
Thanks again guys
Yeah that was just really bad lighting Rafa haha, guess I just got lucky
So after finishing up the original foam master, I decided at this point I really needed a hollow resin copy of the helmet to be able to effectively continue. Enter - my VERY first GM helmet lid (slush of course). I can't say I'm really very proud of this thing (no vent and it needed a LOT of work) and the scrap mold was a piece of garbage, but I learned a LOT from it and it got the job done...for the most part. Here's a few pics
Nevertheless, I was pleased with the overall shape and size/proportion of it so that was a good thing I guess.
Up next was the ever daunting task of sanding my ***** off for the next god knows how many hours (I gave up counting, honestly) to get it as close to where I wanted it to be. I also needed to cut out the vent and reattach it, recessed. Simple enough but just a matter of getting it done.
(Tamiya putty is the BOMB btw)
I eventually settled on .125 half round styrene for the edges (after discussing it with Barry...he also supplied me with the templates for the eyes)
That's it for now. I've got this under primer but just haven't had a chance to take full on pics yet. More to come soon!
Great to see you getting back to this Will, lookin real good, must be said
Man that looks great. The proportions are perfect. Awesome!
Thanks again very much guys! I've currently got my assistant on mold duty on this bad boy (so I could concentrate on the V3 armor and get that knocked out of the way) and I hope to have a first cast here in a few months or so. so that I can properly get one assembled and painted up...can't wait to see how it'll look on the manny with the armor!
I'll keep you all posted
Mind blowing, would love to get hold of a copy of that! Looking forward to seeing the fully cast lot
Thanks for the kind words mate. PM replied.
wow, theres alot of awesome talent here, wish i had the patients and know how to even attempt theses
Been a while since my last update. I apologize for the delay but I've been super busy between my real world job, filling orders, and trying to squeeze in time here and there to work on this project. I've taken a bit of a break from sculpting on this project but only because I needed to finish assembling the first cast out of the helmet mold to see how everything looks...needless to say it was quite a bit of work but also very enlightening on how this helmet kit will need to be done and how much work is involved. I'm not really going to get into details with words but I'm pretty sure the photos below are self explanatory (I didn't take shots of every singe step, but you get the idea). Without any further babbling from me, here's pics. Enjoy!
That's it for now. Still gotta weather the helmet and cowl (will take more pics and post them after that's done) and then hopefully in the very near future I'll be able to start sculpting the clone arm pieces. As always, thanks for looking and stay tuned!
Two words WOWY and ZOWY! Nice work. That looks great.
Nice! very nice, epic in fact!!
Thanks guys, appreciate the kind comments
Hope to have some pics up soon of the helmet with weathering
You are so good! Amazing
WoW! This is looking fantastic!
Awesome Will!!
Thank you kindly gentlemen! I've taken a step back from this in order to work on a few other projects (which may or may not be Fett related ) and also due to a little burnout, but I will be revisiting this again before the end of the year. The next pieces to be sculpted will be the arms
Wow. I must have missed that last update. Simply killer!! Will, your work is truly amazing.
Thanks again for the kind words Matt!
So rad! Have you done anything to this one lately?

System that I'm working with:
Current VirtualBox on MacBookPro running 10.6OSX
BT5R3 KDE 64bit
USB Alfa AWUS036NEH
1st started working with BT5R3 KDE and I got it working, but now airodump-ng does not work. I have fully installed all versions of BT5 and still airodump-ng is not working.
For my final attempt, I reinstalled BT5R3 and did varies test.
1) Out of the box - Simple plug and play - No Luck
2)Enable b43 drivers - Proceed with the process to get enable this function - No Luck
3)Compat Kernal - Installed the most recent update (2012-12-18) - No Luck
4)apt-get update & apt-get upgrade - No Luck
I have read numerous threads and and repeated all the steps steady in the threads, still getting the same results
aireplay-ng -9 mon0 (aireplay-ng --test mon0) = No APs found
airodump-ng mon0 = Nothing appears
Also, I'm noticing that when I reboot the BT5 wlan0 appears in Managed mode when I reboot the system. But the way that resolve this by doing:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
I will appreciate any help if possible.

This is a phenomenal week to be covering the publishing industry. Tuesday, Apple released its quarterly earnings. Big surprise, another record-breaking quarter for the folks in Cupertino. A few billion here, a few billion there, blah, blah. How amazing is it that we're not really surprised by such overperformance in an otherwise still-troubling economic environment? Of great interest to me, the eReader guy, was the final iPad tally for the quarter ending June 26th: 3.27 million units worldwide. Still no good guidance on what the US split is, but no matter how you slice it, iPads are hot. (And, no, I still have not bought one, still holding out for iPad 2.0).
And if you follow the implications of that success, as many in the media have, Amazon should just concede the eReader business, pack up its cream-colored Kindle and go home, right?
Wrong. And to prove it, Amazon made a point of announcing some news of its own, the day before Apple's results were public. Amazon flaunted its own success in selling both Kindle devices and eBooks. That's right, despite that iPad upstart, the Kindle is still flying off the shelves, selling more units each month than the month before it all through Q2, when the iPad challenger was supposedly pummeling it. And it's dominating the eBook business as well, selling as much as eight in ten of the eBooks of major bestsellers, seeing its eBook sales rate triple over last year. Oh, and Amazon indicated it sells 1.8 eBooks for every hardback book it sells. That's right, even though it discounts hardbacks to paperback prices for many bestsellers.

80cc Shifter Questions
by Matt Wolfe » Mon Dec 03, 2012 11:51 am
I am looking to put a shifter on my Blackstar for next and was curious as to some of the specs to be used such as what year to what year, completely stock or what mods are allowed, gearing, minimum weight and fuel required. Thanks.

probably 95 to 04 is the 80cc engine preference, anything later is an 85cc and not that we are not allowing it, we would like to keep it to the 80cc motor if at all possible, stock. the weight requirement is 360 lbs, however at the rules meeting in january there needs to be some allowances for heavier drivers, so as not to split the class up into light and heavy. nothing determined yet. gearing is around 15/25 for a starter ratio. fuel is not yet set, but everyone is running c-12. good pipe is the rlv tc4. in building this class up again from scratch we are letting you run what you brung unless it gets out of hand and until rules are established for our track. no front brakes.

The engines are bike engine. We remove the kick starter and mechanism. We also tap the jug for a pulse line to run our vacuum fuel pumps, as there is no longer a gravity fed fuel tank. Look at www.SharkShifter.com or www.fastech-racing.com for mounts.

Robin van Persie will wait until the end of the season before discussing a new contract with Arsenal - because he has plenty of football to focus on right now.
The Arsenal captain's current deal expires in 2013 and this has led to speculation over his future in the media.
Van Persie clarified the situation in Sunday's Official Matchday Programme and explained that Arsenal's busy schedule does not allow time for negotiations.
"There have been a lot of stories, generally contradictory ones, about my contract situation recently so I'd like to make it clear," he said.
"There's nothing complicated or sinister - the Club and I have both agreed to speak at the end of the season and see how things stand. The boss, Ivan Gazidis and I are all comfortable with it.
"I need all my focus to be on football - on captaining this team, improving every day, doing extra work on the training pitch and preparing for the very busy schedule of fixtures we have.
"If I look down the list, there's not much time to sit down and think about anything else! For me, this is a time to play football and not speak about personal things. All of my energy needs to go on getting this team where we want it to be this season."

text: MTA member input helps shape evaluation regulations MTA member advocacy helped improve the state's evaluation regulations. More than 300 MTA members contacted the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education by e-mail during the public comment period, and more than 700 educators from across the state attended DESE forums to learn about the regulations, ask questions and express their views. MTA President Paul Toner and Kathleen Skinner, director of MTA's Center for Education Policy and Practice, served on the DESE's Educator Evaluation Task Force. They, along with other MTA staff and leaders, collectively spent hundreds of hours communicating with state education officials and suggesting revisions. The end result of all this effort was a set of regulations that Toner says "are much better than they would have been without MTA member involvement." The new Massachusetts regulations are considered superior to many that other Race to the Top states are adopting and are a model for a statement of principles about evaluation being proposed at this year's NEA Representative Assembly in Chicago. The DESE acknowledged receiving an extraordinary level of comment from the field and prepared several documents showing what those comments were and how the DESE responded to them. Data Charts by Role Public Comments Public Forum Feedback The following are some of the provisions in the final regulations that were better as a result of MTA and member input: Student learning measures will not constitute a specific percentage of the evaluation, as had been advocated by the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education and others. Other states have adopted a specific precentage and now are having trouble figuring out how to implement it. Collective bargaining over the local implementation of the new systems is protected: "Nothing in these regulations shall abridge the provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws, including M.G.L. c. 69, c. 71 and c. 150E." The Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents testified the organization would have liked more decisions taken out of collective bargaining, but the MTA position prevailed. High-stakes decisions, such as termination decisions, are based on the evaluation – mainly observation – and not on test scores. MTA took this position from the start and critiqued earlier drafts of the regulations that appeared to give too much weight to student learning measures. The final version of the regulations places limits on the use of these measures. Multiple measures, not just MCAS, must be used so that there is not an over-reliance on MCAS. The entire Educator Evaluation Task Force was in agreement that one measure is not enough. Trends in MCAS growth measures must be used. Previous drafts of the regulations would have allowed decisions to be made based on data from just one year. After MTA and member advocacy, the final regulations call for "at least" two years of data. MTA will be urging local associations to bargain for at least three years of data in their local systems since less than three is too prone to error. MCAS and any other student learning outcomes that are part of a teacher's evaluation are part of the private personnel record and may not be released to the public. MTA pushed for this after learning that the Los Angeles Times received teacher-specific test score data pursuant to a public records request and then ranked teachers by student test scores. In 2013, districts will require staff surveys about administrator effectiveness.

I've never really gotten the impression that people think Kwan is smarter than Cohen. We've really never had any reason to even remotely compare them in that department.

Melanie Cushion holds down two jobs: she's a research career scientist at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and she's also professor and associate chair for research in the department of internal medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Dr. Cushion focuses her research on the fungus, Pneumocystis carinii, which is a harmless commensal for most people, but a deadly pathogen for others.
Pneumocystis carinii was shrouded in obscurity for many years until its fifteen minutes in the spotlight came in the 80's, when, unfortunately, an outbreak of Pneumocystis pneumonia prefigured the AIDS epidemic. Large numbers of previously healthy homosexual men in California became deathly ill with Pneumocystis pneumonia, and doctors knew something unusual (later found to be HIV) was going on. Dr. Cushion says Pneumocystis pneumonia is an opportunistic infection: it strikes individuals with immune systems too weak to fend it off. This explains why it was – and still is – a well-known sign that the patient is stricken with an active HIV infection or some other immune-suppressing disorder.
Dr. Cushion heads up the Pneumocystis genome project and she's also looking into a new line of drugs called glucan synthase inhibitors, which have a profound effect on Pneumocystis's life cycle and may offer new insights into managing the pathogen.
In this interview, I talked with Dr. Cushion about some of the more surprising results to come out of her genomics work, why Pneumocystis is a tough nut to crack in the laboratory, and about why she's not giving her young investigator award back to the Society of Protozoologists any time soon.

Undergraduates Jennifer Hoang and Mitchell Nguyen are co-authors of an article with Dr. Elmer Ledesma, assistant professor of chemistry, that was published in the American Chemical Society journal, "Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research." This is the second article the students have worked on that has been published in a major journal. Their research is focused on producing chemicals, fuels, and energy from biomass, a renewable resource.
"Our undergraduate students are doing graduate-level and above research that has been accepted in a major publication," Ledesma said. "It's good for the public and the university to know about this accomplishment that could help raise funds for science research programs and the new science building."
Hoang, a bio-chemistry major and pre-dental student, still can't believe the second article was published so quickly after completion.
"I feel very lucky and grateful to Dr. Ledesma for giving me this great opportunity," Hoang said. "To go into my junior year with two publications is unusual in undergraduate research. I don't feel disbelief in the work done, but in the fact that we were able to do this research and have it published so quickly in a major journal. Dr. Ledesma has a good plan and knows what he wants from his research. A lot of people see us as only a liberal-arts school, but I think it's important to keep people informed of the growing number of scientific research projects."
Nguyen is mathematics major also doing the cooperative engineering program. Because this research is related to fuels engineering and chemical engineering, it will help him pursue a career in those fields or in the petroleum engineering field.
"This experience is a huge stepping stone," Nguyen said. "Not only will it open up internship opportunities, but it will also help prepare me for the future."
Their research consisted of examiningthe pyrolysis process of a lignin-derived compound, 4-vinylguaiacol. Lignin is a plant component, and their aim is to investigate alternate ways chemicals, fuels and energy are produced.
"All of the things we take for granted, the raw materials used to make products like clothes and shoes, come from fossil fuels. Biomass materials are renewable, so there's a net zero of carbon in the environment," Ledesma said.
The research is funded by a joint-grant given to STEM students from both UST and Houston Community College. The journal usually targets research programs at larger universities, so this is a huge success for UST's science departments and students.

The Canisius volleyball team dropped the final match of its five-match homestand in five sets to Manhattan College on Sunday afternoon. The Jaspers won 23-25, 25-27, 25-19, 25-23, 15-13 as the Golden Griffins fall to 6-12 overall and 4-3 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Freshman Katlyn Tyler posted a double-double with 11 kills and 14 digs. Sophomore Rachel Kline led the Griffs with 15 kills while senior Emily Elek had 14 kills. Elek and senior Roxanne Hernandez each had five blocks while junior Emily Litwin had 29 digs.
"We obviously played well for two sets but then made too many mental errors and Manhattan changed what they were doing to get back into the match," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "On Saturday against Iona, we made the plays down the stretch and today they went the other way."
The teams were tied at 19-19 in the first set before Canisius created some separation with a 4-1 run and then won the set on the eighth kill of the set from Kline. Manhattan trailed 17-13 in the second set before winning six straight points to go up 19-17 and eventually build a 23-21 lead. Canisius then won three straight points, capped by a block from Elek and Hernandez, to go up 24-23. The Griffs would win the set on their third set point, coming on a block from Streicher and Siebert.
Manhattan (12-7, 6-1 MAAC) pulled away in the third set by winning seven of the final eight points. In the fourth set, the teams stayed close down the stretch but Manhattan won consecutive points to go up 24-22. After a kill from Tyler staved off the first set point, Manhattan used a kill from Anna Kitlar, to force a fifth set.
Canisius won the first two points of the fifth set on the serve of sophomore Jordan Tylec, but Manhattan answered with a 4-1 run to go up 5-3. The Jaspers would never give up the lead as Canisius evened the score at 8-8 but Manhattan wont he next three points to go up 11-8. Canisius made it 12-11, 13-12 and 14-13, but could never knot the score again as a tip kill from Ellie Wiekamp completed the win for Manhattan.
Kitlar had 14 kills, nine blocks and a .480 attack percentage while Malia McGuinness posted 16 kills and 20 digs. Wiekamp also had a double-double with 15 kills and 13 digs. Teodora Peric posted 49 assists and 12 digs.
Canisius plays the next three matches on the road, starting with Saturday's match at Fairfield. Match time is set for 1 p.m.
Notes: Manhattan defeated Canisius in the KAC for the second consecutive season… Freshman Jacklyn Malusa had seven kills on 16 attack errors and posted a .438 attack percentage… The 29 digs for Litwin were the most since she had 33 in the season opener against Eastern Michigan… Streicher matched her season high with 28 assists (Sept. 14 at Bucknell)… Kline had double-digit kills in back-to-back matches for the first time in her career… Tyler has double-digit digs in four straight matches… Elek had 10 or more kills for the third time in five days… Hernandez had five or more blocks for the fourth straight match.

text: Lee...your 1st half rotations have Amir playing 14 straight minutes...not likely. But I agree he should get minutes, especially when Dwight is on the floor and Lewis isn't. Howard is a turnover machine...4th in the league this season, averaging 3.2/game. AJ is quick enough to provide some help D and force some turns. The Pistons D should be able to make DHO cough up the ball 4-6 times a game. Between forcing turns and putting Howard on the line, the Pistons can neutralize his scoring threat. But it will take a concerted effort and energy to minimize his boards...AJ & Max can be factors.

The 5 Most Unlikely Marvel Noir Titles
This week saw the release of the latest in Marvel's series of noir-inspired takes on their characters with "Iron Man Noir," adding Tony Stark to the list of of technological futurists with guilty consciences running around back in the '40s, and to be honest, we're pretty surprised that's still going on. Don't get us wrong: The Noir titles have been way better than anyone expected, especially Fred Van Lente's take on the X-Men that starred the all-but-forgotten Golden Age Angel, but when you've got a line that's attempting to make characters like Daredevil and the Punisher -- a man whose father was killed for refusing to throw a boxing match that's constantly being betrayed by his girlfriends and an ex-soldier who swears revenge after his family is killed in a mob crossfire -- even more noir than they already are, you've got to wonder how far they're willing to go with this premise.
That's the question we put to ComicsAlliance senior writer Chris Sims, who has unearthed the pitches for the Five Most Extremely Unlikely Marvel Noir Titles!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: staring at your computer screen at night is very unpleasant for the eyes. Websites with a lot of white space can feel almost blinding, and contribute to eye strain and headaches. Last week, I decided I was fed up with staring at my glowing screen, so I went looking for a solution. I found a plugin called Blank Your Monitor + Easy Read, and I am excited to show it to you!
Blank Your Monitor + Easy Read is a pretty simple Firefox extension, but once you start using it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Accept the end user license agreement by clicking Accept and Install.
Once Firefox restarts, you won't notice anything new right away. To use Blank Your Monitor, simply click Control + Alt + B on your keyboard, and the watch as the current website transforms into black and green. Just look at how much more pleasant and theater-like YouTube appears:
This extension works for any website you want. Surfing the web will instantly become much more soothing on your eyes. Check out the New York Times' website.
Do you ever find it difficult to read articles online because of all the distracting advertisements and menu bars, and gobbledygook?!
Easy Read lets you view any article or text on a plain black screen for distraction-free reading. To utilize this feature simply highlight a passage of text, right-click and select Easy Read (or use the keyboard shortcut Control + Alt+ Z).
The minimalistic appearance makes online reading much more enjoyable for me. I hope you love this Firefox extension as much as I do!

Mentor man downloads 50 billionth Apple app
(Mentor) - A Mentor man has $10,000 to spend on Apple apps.
Apple announced Thursday that Brandon Ashmore of Mentor downloaded the 50 billionth apps from the company's App Store. Brandon received a $10,000 App Store Gift Card to commemorate the historic milestone.
Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services says they were absolutely floored to cross this milestone in less than five years.
Brandon talked to Crain's Cleveland Business about his windfall.
Mr. Ashmore said in an interview that he was watching a ticker on the App Store counting down to the 50 billionth download and downloaded Say the Same Thing — an app from the band OK Go — to his iPhone 5 on Wednesday afternoon. That night, an Apple representative called him and notified him that he had won the $10,000 Gift Card.
"I didn't actually believe it," Mr. Ashmore said, adding, "I always thought nobody really wins these things."
The App Store opened in July 2008 with 500 apps. Customers are now downloading more than 800 apps per second at a rate of over two billion apps per month.
The App Store now offers more than 850,000 apps to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users in 155 countries around the world.

This paper examines whether social stigma or peer sanctions
associated with academic achievement or effort adversely affects
girls' school performance (in absolute terms, or relative to boys).
The effects of the introduction of a point system and "leaderboard"
into computer-based math and English courses in high schools in
California revealed previously hidden information, namely who the
top performers were in the class. This study finds that the system
led to a very large decline in performance for students who were at
the top of the class prior to introduction (those most "at risk" of
being in the leaderboard), and a smaller increase in performance
for students at the bottom of the class. Despite results from
previous studies on stigma and performance, this study finds no
differences in these effects between boys and girls in either
English or math. The net effect of the point system and leaderboard
worsen overall performance.
Lunch will be provided. An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Re: Sensible Cruising
Been "lurker" here for quite a while before recently registering. Need to get a few more posts in before I can share photos.
I discovered this thread and was hoping it was referring to the "Sensible Cruising" book! I LOVE that book! One of MANY I won on cruising.
Met my wife on match.com 10 years ago, VERY happily married for 5 and only discovered she aw a sailor after we met! We BOTH have years of blue water sailing and have no interest in ocean crossing. When I lived in Los Angeles, I always had a larger cruising boat. When I moved up to Oregon, I thought my sailing days were over. Discovered a little San Juan 21 covered in blackberry vines, restored her and trailered her up to the San Juan Islands.... That's when I realized that although I owned "cruising" boats in LA, I never had the time to saail to where I wanted to cruise. With the little SJ 21 I found myself cruising for 2 weeks in an area I only dreamed of before.
new goal: Find a leagally trailerable bot I could take to the ICW, Sea of Cortez etc, and spend tmy time "Gunkholing"... Tresa totally agreed and after searching for a boa that filled our requirements (Standing headdroom, capable of taking "some" foul weather with LOTS of interior space, we decided on (of all things), A 26' Chrysler swing keel.
As others have posted here, size is not as important as personal needs, ability to get out there and safety. We spent a week on her without stepping off to see if our new purchase was crazy, or would we have the room to live comfortable on her without getting in each other's way. Our only complaint: On a large lake, there was no place new to "cruise to"! LOL!
So for "us". gunkoling, short outer passages and visiting new ports, anchoring etc, this boat is perfect! We will have solar, it came with autopilot and MUCH MORE. I'm designing a galley re-fit with freezer/refrigeration (I'm a prototype designer and have a shop where I can create anything! We're hoping to get to the San Juans this coming summer and renting the house and sailing the ICW after that.
Just wanted to thank all who posted here and share that i was pleased to see many posts sharing that even a C22 can serve the needs of some. I guess size/accommodations really is a personal preference!

I've spent the last week cruising thru this thread & watching Vega1860's videos "Pacific Crossing". To spend 55 days at sea sounds like a dream to me but for others (my wife, LOL) it would be pure hell.
For a 4 year old thread, there is a lot of good information here.
You just have to do whatever it is that feels right for you. Does it really matter if it's a 40footer or a 26 footer if you're out there doing it? I think not.
Re: Sensible Cruising
All of a sudden thinking...something! different.
does anyone know some low viscosity high molecular weight oils? At least 15 carbons preferred..
Thanks in advance
No sailing for now!
Re: Sensible Cruising
We took the minimalist approach with our first cruising boat, a Pacific Seacraft 37. It was safe, fun to sail, and I could handle it alone in all but really bad weather. It didn't have refrigeration, a genset, or a watermaker (no real space) yet carried enough food and water for the two of us for weeks. Perfect boat--for some people, and we've seen a good number of 37's out here--but just too small. The Pacific Seacraft 40 is barely enough to really live on, especially if you're not hanging out on small palm-fringed islands or in the water most of the time (I can't be in the sun--melanoma). It has all the goodies, but I can't handle the sails except in the calmest weather. I think the best answer is to ask yourself what you want to do and where you want to go. If the answer is, "Both high and low latitudes, water sports and (classical) concerts in the cities," you'll need more room for clothes (including warm weather shorts and cold weather sweaters), equipment, a cabin heater, refrigeration (or at least a truly competent icebox), more charts, more spares, etc. If you want to go to deserted islands you'll need to be prepared to fix everything yourself, and provide all the necessary parts. My experience (and we've cruised for 45 years and been away from the US for three years now, messing around in the South Pacific and repairing the boat in exotic locations) is that guys like spartan and the gals prefer a few more comforts. Interesting, though, how my dear hubby has borrowed my craft gear to repair electronics, plumbing, and even the gen set....
And oh yeah--here in New Zealand we've been awfully glad to have the Espar cabin heater.

Re: Sensible Cruising
I cruised for my first 17 years, and several Pacific crossings, mostly full time, before I installed my first battery and electrical system , or VHF on my boat. Never had refrigeration and never missed it. Never had a watermaker, nor ham radio, till a few years ago.
Re: Sensible Cruising
If you want a perfect boat and perfect equipment for cruising, then consider a new hobby. If you wait for pefect you will never go. New boats and equipment have new and hidden problems. Old boats have the same old problems. Choose your set of problems, but there will alwyas be problems.
The best thing needed to cruise is an attitude that you can do it and an accpetance that it is time to do it. My wife and I will start our circumnavigation on May 3rd (weather permitting).
As for things I like on a boat? I like a large refrigerator/Freezer. I also like having a spare bedroom for guests. As such, we have a Hudson Force 50. Lots of room, but still small enough to single hand. We train to single hand, but sail double handed or with guests.
Sail with what you have. Enjoy what it gives you. That is the best way to enjoy sailing.
The Witchdoctor.
So, I've finally made it all the way through this forum and I must say, I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that there is no one size fits all category. There are obviously benefits and detractors for every decision.
My wife and I are two years away from "retiring" ( at the ripe old age of 31) and going on an open ended cruise. I've been watching boats and prices and I have decided that the majority of what we will end up with will be based on what is on the boat when we buy it. There are a few items that I plan on adding regardless of how the boat is equipped though. My Admiral has made it clear that she would value a water maker, which I plan on piecing together. I also want to have a SSB with a pactor modem for communication to make our lives easier and reduce the amount of worrying our families will do.
Of course there are some niceties on my short list, like a small GPS plotter (Garmin 441s) and the Standard Horizon GX2100 (my thought being that the AIS will replace the need for radar in terms of being run down by large ships at night or in the fog). But if the boat already has an equivalent in good working order, I would hesitate to rip it out.
We'll carry the typical redundant battery powered alternatives, but we've worked hard to save enough to make this dream financially achievable and I know that it will take some restraint on my part to not load up the boat and deplete our "cushion funds."
There are a lot of well equipped cruisers out there, whether the PO gave up on the dream, or is ready to switch boats. Our biggest concern is where to get the boat. Most of the boats that have some of the gear we want (good ground tackle, cruising sails, some of the above mentioned gadgets) are located on the coast, while we are in Chicago. We'll have to decide if want to try to equip something here ( I imagine it might be difficult to find someone with a lot of experience installing SSBs in the midwest) or if we want to move a boat here to move onto it ($$), or do we rent a truck and take what will fit and drive right to a marina in FL?
I went in a 38 ft Ingrid, I had single handed all over the San Juans and leaving from Port Angeles to La Paz. I was at the very limit of what a 63 year old guy could handle. Go now!

There's really just not much you can do to a spoon to make it a better spoon, it is perfectly suited to the needs of the human beings who use it.
I wanted four black metal 3" C clamps, the kind you can get at any auction, something I can maintain with a little tool oil from time to time and keep on the boat. I went to Lowes, they had some kind of galvanized clamps, and I was getting ready to buy them and thought, you know, I know it is weird, but I'd rather just have the black metal ones like the bigger clamps I have, I wanted them to match. So I decided to go to Home Depot. There they couldn't do metal colors at all, they decided to powder coat theirs a crimson red. By this time it has become a mission! Fine, Ace hardware maybe ? Nope, they had some kind of construction orange metal paint on theirs. Another store maybe ? No they had the same kind of paint except theirs was a battleship gray color. Finally gave up and went to the antique store and found them. That's what I was talking about above, why is it that people have to complicate everything, what's wrong with a black metal 3" C clamp that manufacturers seem to think they have to improve on it ? The thing is better without the color powder coat or paint that is going to chip off the first time it bangs against another tool.

Arsenal have completed a trio of exciting signings and GunnersGaming has priced up a number of specials around Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla ahead of the new Premier League season.
Giroud is a fearless striker known for his physical prowess and terrific heading ability. He has scored 33 goals in 73 matches in his last two seasons at Montpellier, and that superb strike rate earned him a call-up to the French national side.
The 25-year-old is a huge talent who gives the front line a new dimension and is an 11/5 shot to be the Gunners' top Premier League goalscorer. Alternatively, get him at 24/1 to win the Golden Boot award.
You can also find 11/13 on the striker scoring over 11.5 league goals this season, and given his aforementioned record at Montpellier that looks a real possibility.
Meanwhile Podolski has proved himself time and again at the highest level. At just 27 years old he has already scored an incredible 43 goals in 101 games for the national side and picked up his 100th cap at Euro 2012. The left-sided attacker scored 33 goals in his last 88 appearances for Cologne.
He also scored with 29 per cent of his shots in the league last season - an admirable figure considering Robin van Persie's conversion rate was 21 per cent.
Podolski is 16/5 with GunnersGaming to top the goalscoring charts and an 11/13 shot to hit more than 10.5 during the league campaign.
If you fancy him to make a dream start in an Arsenal shirt, the German is 3/2 to score on his debut.
Arsenal's most recent acquisition is Cazorla, a midfielder impressive from dead-ball situations and an expert passer. He also possesses fine vision and is a danger in front of goal.
The 27-year-old scored nine times last season to help Malaga secure a fourth-placed finish in La Liga and qualify for their first-ever Champions League. He is 3/5 with GunnersGaming to build on that and score over 10.5 this season.
If you think Santi will be pulling the strings in midfield, you can also get 11/13 on more than 9.5 assists.
Finally, if you fancy all three to be among the goals during the 2012/13 season then you can find 6/1 for each scoring 10 or more.

House of Kolor paint
Has anybody ever bought paint from House of Kolor??? I went online and priced some of their stuff and its not too expensive. Ive read in tons of magazines about their custom mixtures and all i hear is good things, like them winning shows and stuff like that. My 70 chevelle's gettin a custom paint job, so i have to be real careful when im buildin it. I was thinkin about goin with some of their base coat as the final color, and addin some crushed pearl, or maybe even some flake, then puttin on a pretty thick coat of clear coat. Would anybody know how, if at all, hard it is to work with the crushed pearl or flake???
There paint is not hard to use at all.
First quality paint, just like PPG or DuPont. No harder to use than any other, but just like all paint, the application and color sanding either makes it an average paint job, or an exceptional paint job.
IMHO HOK paint has far better colored pearls (if your not trying to colormatch) than anything Doupont, or PPG put out. I dont know what it is about their colors, but ALL of their colors just look terrific. I've sprayed their Kandies, their Kandy Base-coats, their Shimrin Pearls and their Basecoat line, and they cover nicely, flow out well, and have just as good of adhesive properties as any other paints. Their old UMC1000 clear is a little runny, but it's VOC is high and it's clarity is the BEST I've seen. Very nice, stuff, just read the bottle 4 times before spraying and you'll be fine.
The 'hopper
I agree with Grashopr, the guy at our local PPG store told me that they cannot match some of HOK colors, especially the pearls.
i use HOK everyday. in my bike paint shop. webpage listed in my profile will show you alot of samples. i uses ppg or hok on everything. just read the tech sheets for each of the products or get tech book. be aware when talking candy colors some of them take 6 coats to get the color that adds to time & material cost. pearls & flakes can be added to base or clear. must put 2-3 coats straight clear on top. i have found it is best to rub out the day after clear, as it gets harder & quicker than other paints. hit it right away & you wont chase scratches as much. as far as spraying most of my jobs don't need to be rubbed out, the clear is that good, & it flows so nice.watch your wet spot jwart:evil:
Man, I was going to ask if HOK paint was worth the money, I need to paint my stang, Its banged up pretty bad, not to mention my cowl hood recently decided to come loose and banged up the cowl, and the top of the car, I through a quick paint job on the stock hood and stuck it on there for now, So is house of kolor all that good? Im looking into a bright tangerine color or nitrous blue, Im not sure yet, but could they make custom colors?
im goin for a tangerine too. look at their neon honey kandy base coat, that looks really nice.
if you want to see HOK check out their color book it $35 so look at dealers. ea candy color is shown with 12 optional base coats to acheive totally different colors. you want custom blue you say. House Of Kolor is owned by Valspar for about 5 yrs. so if looking for dealer another option to look for. hok web search got me to dealer search for our local area.:evil:
What do I have to do to spray the HOK Kameleon Blue to Red with a Silver Mini Flake.
If someone can email to me or post the actual painting application method (from bare metal to clear coat finish) for me that would be great. (what gets sprayed where & how many coats of what)
I have a F-150 sitting at bare metal right now & I want to have the Kameleon custom paint applied.
I have a good paint man working with me that has all the tools to do the job but he has never sprayed custom paint before. He said he will spray it on if I purchased everything for it.
Sorry if this seems like a pain in the but post, but I really want my truck to look goood!
Hopefully someone will feel enuf sorrow & pitty for me & will send me their knowledge of what to do!
house of color paint
go to any house of color store,(valspar) , get tape of Joe Kosmoski painting secrets, or pick up a tect manual. Doc.
The HOK spec sheets will tell you every thing you need, and how to do it. That would be a lot easyer for you to understand and you would have it right in your hands.
You should have started a new thread in the body and paint forem.:nono:
Here's the Tech sheet for this paint.
They also have some color charts on there web sight but I don't see any of the Kameleon kolors listed.
Yes & no!
they have the Kameleon color that fades blue to red & they also say that you can mix any dry element into the paint, that is where the silver flake comes in.
I don't thin you buy the paint straight from HOK. I was looking at colors & pricing at autobodysupply.net
HOK is very good paint,but beware of the kandie colrs they are very prone to fading.I painted my 88 chevy truck kandie tangerine an the paint faded pretty bad within five years.Just my 2 cents

del nostro Ristorante Valentine's
Formerly an original Venetian convent, whose beautiful architecture and pleasant peacefulness have been perfectly preserved, The BEST WESTERN PREMIER Hotel Sant'Elena blends old charm with 4-star modern amenities, right in the heart of Venice.
Whether you're looking for a comfortable hotel, possibly family-friendly, or a welcoming setting for your meetings and events in Venice, our boutique Hotel BEST WESTERN PREMIER Sant'elena is the perfect location for all your stays in the enchanting lagoon city.
Here modern design is combined with antique elements to create a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere. Minimal and elegant décor helps to create a contemporary flair enhanced by the unexpected delight of the inner courtyard.
The most authentic Venice in the greenest part of the city center"….close to St Mark's Square but far away from the crowd"….that's how our customers describe the hotel location.
The colors of the garments hanging out to dry, the artists carrying their easels under their arms, long afternoons sitting in the shades of the magnificent trees of Parco delle Rimembranze (Remembrance Park) or the gardens of the Biennale, a true terrace dominating the lagoon…..everything is reminiscent of an authentic Venetian dimension.
Getting to St. Mark's Square from this peaceful oasis is easy: take the half hour walk in your spare time along the Riva degli Schiavoni , capture a slice of carefree, cheerful everyday life while enjoying the breathtaking views of the lagoon; alternatively, board the waterbus (vaporetto) for a 5 minutes ride to the city center; the waterbus stop in Sant'Elena is located 150 meters from the Hotel.
We highly recommend a visit to the island of Sant'Elena, the neighborhood of Sestiere Castello , Via Garibaldi, and during the summer season, the Lido and its famous beach.
So go ahead and choose your favorite room; they're all very bright and much larger than most Venetian Hotels. The view? Couldn't be more beautiful: all our rooms overlook either the calli ( alleyways) or the inner courtyard, formerly the cloister of the antique convent.
Enjoy the complimentary WiFi on your smartphone or tablet, or take advantage of our computer stations with free internet access. A slice of heaven always connected with the world.
At night… let our restaurant and bar Valentine's enthrall you with our delicious menu

Posted by Harley Manning on the Customer Experience Professionals Blog on June 4, 2013
Marketing and customer experience are two sides of the same coin: Marketers are responsible for communicating the brand promise, and customer experience professionals are responsible for making sure that the promise is kept.
It's that synergy between marketing and CX that led us to invite Jamie Moldafsky, CMO at Wells Fargo, to speak at Forrester's Forum for Customer Experience Professionals in New York on the morning of June 25. As a run-up to our event, Jamie took the time to answer a few questions about why Wells Fargo cares about customer experience and how its approach to CX has evolved over the years.
Q: When did your company first begin focusing on customer experience? Why?
Treating customers with courtesy and respect has been a core value at Wells Fargo for more than 160 years. Back in 1888, its agents were given the following instructions: "Proper respect must be shown to all — let them be men, women, or children, rich or poor, white or black—it must not be forgotten that the Company is dependent on these same people for its business."

The 6th edition covers HTML5 and ECMAScript 5. Many chapters have been completely rewritten to bring them in line with today's best web development practices. New chapters in this edition document jQuery and server side JavaScript. It's recommended for experienced programmers who want to learn the programming language of the Web, and for current JavaScript programmers who want to master it.

The animal on the cover of JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, sixth edition, is a Javan rhinoceros. All five species of rhinoceros are distinguished by their large size, thick armor-like skin, three-toed feet, and single or double snout horn. The Javan rhinoceros, along with the Sumatran rhinoceros, is one of two forest-dwelling species. The Javan rhinoceros is similar in appearance to the Indian rhinoceros, but smaller and with certain distinguishing characteristics (primarily skin texture).
Rhinoceroses are often depicted standing up to their snouts in water or mud. In fact, they can frequently be found just like that. When not resting in a river, rhinos will dig deep pits in which to wallow. Both of these resting places provide a couple of advantages. First, they give the animal relief from the tropical heat and protection from blood-sucking flies. (The mud that the wallow leaves on the skin of the rhinoceros also provides some protection from flies.) Second, mud wallows and river water help support the considerable weight of these huge animals, thereby relieving the strain on their legs and backs.
Folklore has long held that the horn of the rhinoceros possesses magical and aphrodisiac powers, and that humans who gain possession of the horns will also gain those powers. This is one of the reasons why rhinos are a prime target of poachers. All species of rhinoceros are in danger, and the Javan rhino population is the most precarious. Fewer than 100 of these animals are still living. At one time, Javan rhinos could be found throughout southeastern Asia, but they are now believed to exist only in Indonesia and Vietnam.

Must read for javascript developers
By LittleDev
from The Netherlands
About Me Developer, Maker
This is a must read for JavaScript developers. The book is structured in such a way that generic JavaScript information is read before the more front-end or back-end specific things. This makes it easier to skip certain parts which I was not interested in or felt like I had knowledge enough about. It also include a JavaScript API reference, so do not let the size of the book scare you.

Be careful
By TonyC
from UK
About Me Novice
I'm using the 5th edition, it has traps for the unwary novice, and/or those in a hurry. At page 77, the easy to see text in a page has above it "this is equivalent to, but more compact than, the following if statement"....What is does not say is that "the following" is what you would do in a different language. It then sets out code that is perfectly good JavaScript (in that it does not throw an error) but equally it does not give the result anticipated. It does not work because part of the code assigns a value rather than simply testing equivalence. My fault for one, being too new to the language to use this book, and two, skipping from the index to the code segment. It's an hour of my life I won't get back, and I will read sections more carefully.

Excellent reference book
By CompilerGuru
from AR
I started doing serious software development in 1961, and I have mastered many languages. This book services two uses for me. It is full of code samples which are well designed and professional in detail. Secondly, it is an excellent reference manual for core Javascript and well as Client side Javascript programming. I use it everyday in my development work and highly recommend it for Javascript developers.

By Adam Lucas, GoHeels.com
Marcus Paige harbors no illusions about some of the most important shots he made as a freshman at North Carolina.
With his Tar Heels leading by just one point with three minutes left in the ACC Tournament semifinals against Maryland, Paige stuck a jumper. Then, with the lead at 75-72 with fewer than 45 seconds left, Paige drove right and arched through a left-handed teardrop that neatly scraped past the side of the backboard.
The next day, in the championship game against Miami, he played exceptionally in a back-and-forth first half, then knocked in a second-half jumper that cut Carolina's deficit to just three points with 3:37 remaining.
On a team that included P.J. Hairston and James Michael McAdoo, Paige wasn't always the first offensive option...or the second, as he freely admits. But he had the toughness to take those shots, and he had the skill level to make them. As he prepares for his sophomore year, he wants to be the player fans and teammates want to have scoring opportunities in tight games.
"I made a couple of shots last year that people were like, 'No, no, no!'" Paige says. "Now, it's going to be more of a commanding role for me to demand the ball in those situations so I can make a play, rather than just ending up with the ball. That's the next progression for me."
Paige quietly had a very solid freshman year, posting a 1.87 assist/turnover ratio that was higher than, for example, Bobby Frasor or Raymond Felton as freshmen. All three of those players were tossed into starting roles as freshmen without much opportunity to learn and observe from the bench.
During his freshman campaign, Paige showed a willingness to stick his nose into the paint, even when being outweighed by 100 pounds or more by the beefier players in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Predictably, his offseason regimen has included lots of strength work with Jonas Sahratian.
"I've always played lighter than my opponents," Paige says. "Even in high school, I wasn't the heaviest guy on the court. In college, strength is a key part of the game. The refs let you play, and it's a lot more physical. When you take a pounding, you get tired faster."
Paige said he first noticed the tangible effects of his weight disadvantage during the taxing three-games-in-three-days Maui Invitational. His offseason has been designed to help him get through those scenarios. After arriving in Chapel Hill at 157 pounds, Paige currently weighs 171 pounds, and says he'd like to try playing at 175 as a sophomore.
The Iowa native isn't only focusing on his own game this summer. After spending 12 months as the neophyte, he's officially graduated to veteran status (34 starts for North Carolina will do that to you) and is trying to assist freshman Nate Britt in his transition to college basketball. Because Kendall Marshall departed early for the NBA, Paige didn't really have a full-time mentor last summer. He wants to serve that role for Britt, and knows the development of their on-court chemistry might even affect Paige's role.
"Coach (Williams) is pretty specific when it comes to his system and his point guards," Paige says. "I think Nate will have an easier adjustment than I did. He's a little more of a passer and he's really quick. His vision is off the charts. Now that he's fully healthy, we're seeing some of the things he's capable of doing...Coach has come up to me and asked if I'm comfortable learning a little bit of two (guard). I think we're going to see that a couple times this year, and if it's effective, why not roll with it?"
That's all mid-summer speculation at this point, of course. But it's quite a change for the freshman who once was the taker of the "No, no, no!" shots to think about spending a couple minutes at shooting guard. And really, when you think back on the end of his freshman year and the developing floater that he regularly flashed, he's right--he has the potential to be a player you want taking those late-clock shots.
"My teammates feel comfortable with me having the ball," Paige says. "I have their trust. Once they trust you, you can be yourself."

Can You Feel Anything When I Do This?
Sheckley has a reputation in science fiction as a humorous writer. There's plenty to amuse in this 1971 collection, but many of the stories also center around issues of perception: What's real?

There's the hugely entertaining "Cordle To Onion To Carrot," in which a milquetoast turns aggressive and rude on overseas trips, to "The Mnemone," a bittersweet tale set in a repressive near-future with lit...
