text: As the title says, I have Cucblack's ESB flight suit and I love it. It is a light grey color i wish it had the more blue/grey you tend to see, I am wondering if I can us RIT royal blue and possibly dilute to lightly dye it so it has the light blue color but it still retains the grey color? sorry if that doesn't make sense.

I bought this pistol back in 1992 but there are a couple of things that have always bugged me. The barrel/cylinder gap is .016". I've always heard .002-.006 is correct. Also, the front sight isn't at 12:00; I have the rear sights pegged all the way to the right to make it hit point of aim. Was my gun made late on a Friday afternoon? At this late date would Smith correct it under warranty?
OK, maybe I do procrastinate a little.
Also, would my local Gander Mt. do this work under S&W warranty?? The Smith site says Gander is "Official"

Modern day attackers are launching increasingly more sophisticated, targeted attacks designed to evade signature-based security technologies. Despite having made significant investment in a range of protection technologies, security leaders still wonder whether their network has been infiltrated, how far the threats have spread and which assets have been compromised.
The traditional approach of relying on disparate network and endpoint protection technologies is no longer enough. Detecting advanced targeted attacks requires an integrated, multi-layered approach uniting the best threat prevention, detection and response capabilities. Security leaders are aggressively adopting specialized 'signatureless' threat analysis and protection technologies as a critical piece of this defense strategy-only to find these products do not integrate well with existing technologies such as advanced endpoint protection. This gap forces security leaders to allocate scarce resources toward piecing together the alerts and related context from across their fragmented security architecture and intelligence sources.


text: Ended up getting today off and was able to chase the geese I have been watching for the last week. Set up for them this morning and they came in. I ended up blowing some easy shots and I don't like the patterning of the black cloud BB but I did connect with 2 geese. First time shooting since last year so my shooting wasn't great but great to get back in the saddle. Nice healthy birds this year also.

Carnival Valor Review
In 2004, the third of the Conquest-class ships, Carnival Valor launched with interiors designed as a tribute to valiant acts and heroic people. Colorful, yet for Carnival quite subtle, the flow of design and function work well and are not overwhelming. The ship is scheduled
for refurbishment in 2014 when it will receive Carnival's "Fun Ship 2.0" upgrades with new casual dining options and bars. From her home port in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carnival Valoroffers weeklong sailings to the Southern Caribbean.
Taking Fun Ships to new lengths and widths, Conquest-class ships are among the largest in the Carnival fleet. They're basically larger and more feature-filled versions of earlier Destiny-class vessels. More space translates into additional decks, an upscale steak house, and even more bars and lounges; however, well-proportioned public areas belie the ships' massive size. You'll hardly notice that there's slightly less space per passenger after you take a thrilling trip down the spiral waterslide.
Public rooms flow forward and aft from stunning central atriums. Just off each ship's main boulevard is an array of specialty bars, dance lounges, discos, piano bars, and show lounges, plus seating areas along the indoor promenades. The promenade can get crowded between dinner seatings and show-lounge performances, but with so many different places to spend time, you're sure to find one with plenty of room and an atmosphere to suit your taste.
The world's largest cruise line originated the Fun Ship concept in 1972 with the relaunch of an aging ocean liner, which got stuck on a sandbar during its maiden voyage. In true entrepreneurial spirit, founder Ted Arison shrugged off an inauspicious beginning to introduce superliners a decade later. Sporting red-white-and-blue flared funnels, which are easily recognized from afar, new ships are continuously added to the fleet and rarely deviate from a successful pattern. If you find something you like on one vessel, you're likely to find something similar on another.
Each vessel features themed public rooms, ranging from ancient Egypt to futuristic motifs, although many of those elements are being replaced with a more tropical decor as older ships are upgraded. Carnival is also introducing features either branded by the line itself, such as the poolside Blue Iguana Tequila Bar with an adjacent burrito cantina and the Red Frog Rum Bar that also serves Carnival's own brand of Thirsty Frog Red beer, or in partnership with well known brands, such as EA SPORTS to create EA SPORTS Bars at sea and Guy's Burger Joint, in partnership with Food Network star Guy Fieri. Implementation of the new features is scheduled for completion in 2015.
What You Should Know
- The lounge chairs on the deck above the aft Lido pool are almost always quiet
- Steak houses on these ships are some of the best restaurants—and dining bargains—at sea
- The ships have been retrofitted with Carnival's Seaside Theatres—the jumbo-size poolside LED screens
- Cabins and balconies on deck 8 from mid-ship to aft are beneath the Lido and suffer from pool-deck noise overhead
- Seating at the casino bar can be noisy with sound from the slot machines dueling with nearby musicians
- Likewise, sound from the Seaside Theatre can be annoyingly loud
Ship Stats
- Crew Members 1,160
- Entered Service 2004
- Gross Tons 110,000
- Length 952 feet
- Number of Cabins 1,487
- Passenger Capacity 2,974 (3,700 max)
- Width 116 feet

When he first got elected to office , President Obama set an ambitious goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. That has been a tough sell with many American consumers. Currently, there are just 75,000 electric cars on our nation's streets and according to a recent Kansas City Star report there are fewer than 100 plug in electric cars and trucks in our area.
But that does not mean the metro isn't preparing itself for an electric vehicle revolution. While many of us were at holiday parties at the end of year, you might have missed a new study from the Metropolitan Energy Center showing Kansas City beefing up its electric vehicle infrastructure.
We take a closer look as part of our joint reporting project on sustainability issues with broadcast students at Johnson County Community College.

Glad to have you here.
Hi Guys,
I am new to your stunning forum and enjoyed a lot of the articles listed before I considered to register here.
I am 34 and have enjoyed shooting since childhood. I got various national trophies on school level and was the top shot in South Africa in 1991. We used Anschutz 64 .22 single shot rifles back then sponsored to schools by the National Defence Force.
Since my school days I have owned a CZ75 Serial number S7515. This is a remarkable handgun and is considered in South Africa as a true workhorse. I sold it due to a lack of funds whilst during my University years (one of my biggest mistakes ever). I also own a Lee Enfield .303 (.311 as everybody know) No 4 MK II with Parker Hale sniper sights.
My dad sold me his Belguim Browing Hi-Power last year and I hope to get the licence somewhere in 2008. Yes - it can take up to 3 years to obtain your firearm licence in RSA due to the strict (and sometimes bizzare licencing laws).
In the mean while (whilst waiting for the licence) I will enjoy the company of my new friends - YOU !!!
Glad to have you here.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
Howdy! Glad ya found us!
Welcome. Looks like we're going world wide. Cool!
Welcome. I lived/worked in RSA for a year back in 2005. I wish I could go back over there.
Welcome from the swamp in Florida. Enjoy..
Welcome from the (melting) snow fields of Kansas.
Welcome to the forum, glad you're here! New guy buys cigars.
Many years ago I spent some time in Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe. I hope to get back over your way again someday.
Welcome ...........and Howdy from Texass...........
Welcome !!!

Located in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is the largest city in the state, and the fifth most populated city in the U.S. Commonly referred to as "Philly," Philadelphia played a crucial role in the early development of the U.S., with key historical figures like Benjamin Franklin residing there. Philadelphia is home to the Phillies, as well as several types of cuisine, the most prominent of which is the Philly cheesesteak. Today, Philly has a robust arts and entertainment, sports, and educational scene. | Read more below »
Sorry! We couldn't find any events in Philadelphia, PA.
|Located in:
|Philly; The City of Brotherly Love; The Quaker City; The Birthplace of America
|Official Website
In Greek, "Philadelphia" translates to "brotherly love," hence one of the city's nicknames. Known for its history, arts, and culture, the city is home to more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other city in the U.S. Many Philadelphia residents speak Philadelphia dialect, which is one of the best studied forms of American English, due to more than a century of research done at the University of Pennsylviania.
The Walnut Street Theatre, located in Philly, is the oldest theatre in the U.S. Nearby, there's the Lantern Theatre at St. Stephens Church, though most of the city's venues can be found in areas around South Street and Old City, which have a vibrant night life. The Academy of Music — the nation's oldest continually operating opera house — is where the Opera Company of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Ballet can be found.
In the last decade, new buildings have been constructed for the Wilma Theatre and Philadelphia Theatre Company, both of which produce numerous new shows. Various Broadway shows make Philadelphia a stop on their tours, in addition to the innovative theater put on by troupes in the city itself.
Venues include: Academy of Music; Caesars Atlantic City; Forrest Theater; Keswick Theater; Mann Center for the Performing Arts; Media Center for the Performing Arts; Merriam Theater; Perelman Theater; River Stage; Society Hill Playhouse; Theatre of the Living Arts; Tower Theatre; Walnut Street Theatre; Zellerbach Theater
Philadelphia has played a major role in rock and pop music as early as the 1970s. Then, it was Philadelphia soul that gained popularity and influenced music going forward. Today, artists who began in Philly include The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, and Eve. Several large-scale concerts were held in Philly, including the Live Aid concert, which took place in 1985 at John F. Kennedy Stadium. Years later, in 2005, Philly hosted the concert again, this time under its new moniker Live 8, at Ben Franklin Parkway. More than half a million attended the show.
The Philadelphia Orchestra, which calls Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts home, is ranked among the top five orchestras in the entire nation. Similarly, the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale is a world-renowned organization that performs all over the world.
Venues include: Union Transfer; The Mann Center; The Electric Factory; Trocadero Theatre; Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
Athletics in Philly go all the way back to the 1860s, when its first professional sports team helped found baseball.
"The Curse of Billy Penn" involves Philadelphia's city hall building
Now, Philadelphia is among 12 cities across the U.S. to have a team in all four major men's sports: in the NFL, it's the Philadelphia Eagles; in the NHL, it's the Philadelphia Flyers; in MLB, it's Philadelphia Phillies; and in the NBA, it's the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite that, however, from 1983 to 2008, none of Philly's teams were able to capture a championship. The Curse of Billy Penn was often cited for Philly's losses.
According to the legend, a statue of William Penn, founder of Philadelphia, was atop the tallest building in the city and it was an unwritten rule that no building should be taller than the statue. In 1987, One Liberty Place was erected and made taller than City Hall, allegedly causing a "curse" in Philadelphia's sports. It was the Phillies who broke that losing streak when they won the World Series in 2008.
Several semi-professional, college, and elite amateur teams are also popular in Philly. A group of five Division I college basketball programs, called Philadelphia Big 5, are made up of Saint Joseph's University, University of Pennsylvania, La Salle University, Temple University, and Villanova University.
Other major sporting events include Penn Relays, the Philadelphia International Championship bicycle race, and the Philadelphia marathon.
Teams include: Philadelphia Phillies; Philadelphia 76ers; Philadelphia Eagles; Philadelphia Flyer; Philadelphia Union; Philadelphia Soul; Philadelphia Independence; Philadelphia Wings
Philadelphia isn't just home to the Philly cheesesteak; it's also home to one of the city's biggest battles: Provolone or Cheez Whiz? In fact, there are two prominent Philly cheesesteak stands in the city, right across the street from one another, and one swears by Provolone, while the other uses Cheez Whiz. Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steaks have a highly publicized, but playful, rivalry. At Geno's, Provolone is the cheese of choice, while Cheez Whiz is the favorite at Pat's.
Hoagies, scrapple, soft pretzels, and Tastykake are also big in Philadelphia. Vietnamese and other Ashian restaurants, both budget-friendly and high-end, have popped up around the city. "Iron Chef" star Masaharu Morimoto has his high-end restaurant, Morimoto, in Philly.
Additional Resources: Search by cuisine to find restaurants in Philly, check out VisitPhilly.com's recommended list or try Zagat-rated restaurants in the city.
A view of Philadelphia's city scape
An immaculate arts culture marks Philadelphia, the city that contains more public art than any other in the U.S., and the home to one of the country's oldest artists' clubs (Philadelphia Sketch Club). Since the late 1950s, Philadelphia has funded more than 200 pieces of public works of art. Various art museums, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art (which was used in the film "Rocky"), can be found across the city.
Philadelphia is the epicenter of U.S. history. At the center of Philly's historical landmarks is the Independence National Historical Park, which contains both Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the Liberty Bell. Then there are early government buildings, like the First Bank of the U.S., Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church, and the homes of Edgar Allan Poe and Betsy Ross. Cementing the city's immersion into U.S. history is several archival repositories, like the Library Company of Philadelphia created in 1731 and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, created in 1814.
Several museums can be found across Philly, too, such as Benjamin Franklin National Memorial, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the National Constitution Center. The city is also home to the first hospital and the first zoo, as well as one of the country's oldest and largest urban parks (Fairmount Park).
Additional Resources: Find a comprehensive guide to Philly's best attractions or focus on peer reviews of activities at TripAdvisor.
Philadelphia has been named the fifth most walkable city in the U.S., so it's not uncommon to see residents and tourists alike trekking across the city. But it's Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority that keeps the city of Philly running, especially with its subway, the third oldest in the U.S. SEPTA operates trains, buses, trolleys, and trackless trolleys throughout the city and into various Pennsylvania counties and even other states.
Philadelphia has recently struggled to keep its public transportation afloat, especially its SEPTA Regional Rail, which no longer services the far suburbs of Philly due to lack of funding. The city is working on getting money to reinstate these options.
In the meantime, travel by car is big in the city, as I-95 runs through Philadelphia along the Delaware River. Several expressways, routes, and other interstates snake through the city, as well. Greyhound Lines are a major mode of transportation in Philly as well. The Philadelphia International Airport and the Northeast Philadelphia Airport both serve the city, although only one handles domestic and international flights.
Additional Resources: SEPTA has everything you'll need to know about public transportation. Need a way to get to Philly? Try Philadelphia International Airport or Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

I have a Bachelors in English but I do not have a TEFL certificate. A TEFL is just too expensive and even universities that offer TEFLs have so much red tape to get through such as taking classes at the university before going to the on-site TEFL training locations. I would like a TEFL but right now I do not have the money. I am dead broke and I am already working menials jobs just to save up money to go back overseas and teach again.
I already have experience teaching English overseas. In 2010-2011, I taught English in South Korea. Well, things have changed since then. The qualifications have become more strict all over and it is just two years later. I would like to go back overseas and teach English in Japan, Shanghai or Hong Kong.
I am hoping that if I find a job overseas, I can maybe earn enough money to take a TEFL course in which ever country I am teaching in.
Where can I teach with the qualifications I have (experience with assistant teaching, Bachelors in English, experience with overseas teaching, etc.)?
Thank you. Money is such a factor these days!

Track Six: The theme tune of the album is Silver Balloon Party – no names in this one – but another catchy party favourite great to bop and sing along to.

Usually, Easter leftovers are hard-cooked eggs with names written on them or decorated by children.
There also might be eggs from egg hunts. Check those out carefully. If there are any cracks where dirt and germs could get into the egg, discard them.
But for those of you who had baked ham, you might have so much that you get tired of ham sandwiches.
The recipes I have for you today use leftover ham.
I know many of you probably have your own favorite potato soup recipe, but this one goes a little further by adding chopped ham. One of my favorites is scalloped potatoes and ham, but it's hard to find a good recipe for it. This one looks like a winner though. With meat and vegetables, it could be a full meal.
The third recipe is a casserole made with ham, rice and peas and a lot of flavor additions including French-fried onions and crushed croutons.
Hopefully, you can finish your leftover ham with a new recipe or two. Remember, you always could make these dishes with cooked ham just for these uses.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend and I appreciate all the kind comments about the cakes that were tried out as early as Tuesday from last week's column.
One wonderful story was a reader was preparing the Three-Day Coconut Cake. Her kids wanted some when they got home from school and then her husband tried it and said, "I can't imagine that this cake could be any better after three days."
Oh, but it can.

Cheddar, Ham, and Potato Soup
3½ cup peeled, diced potatoes
1/3 cup chopped celery
½ cup onion, finely chopped
1½ cups chopped cooked ham
3½ cups chicken broth
salt, to taste
1 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated, separated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
In a large soup pot, bring chicken broth, onion, potatoes and ham to a boil. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in pepper and salt to taste.
In another, smaller saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk, whisking away any lumps that might form. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thick and bubby, about 5 minutes. Remove white sauce from heat and stir in two cups cheese until melted. Stir cheese sauce mixture into your potato/veggie mixture. Heat through.
Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of cheese and parsley, if desired.

Scalloped Potatoes with Ham
Potatoes, sliced thin
Ham, in small pieces
1 stick butter
1 small onion
Peel and slice potatoes thin, but not too thin and set aside. Chop ham into small pieces and set aside. Chop the onion into small pieces (can use less if you want) and set aside.
Start layering these items in a glass oven proof dish beginning with a little butter. Cover the bottom with the potatoes, sprinkle on the onions and ham and a little flour. The flour thickens up everything. Continue making layers (don't forget the butter) until the dish is full. Make sure the very top has a little butter on it. Now pour in milk slowly all around until the dish has about ¼ inch of milk in it. Not too much and not too little or it will spill over in your oven. Cover the dish and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour depending on the size of dish you are using.
Check the tenderness of the potatoes occasionally by sticking a fork in them. If you want your potatoes a little brown on top, uncover the dish during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. Allow the dish to stand and cool for awhile so the flour and milk have a chance to thicken. This casserole tastes better the next day when all the flavors have had a chance to "meld" together.
Nora's Note: The reason there are no amounts is that you will have to decide how much you need according to your dish size.
Cheesy Ham Casserole
2 cups cooked rice (You can use the
10 minute Success Boil-in-Bag whole grain rice)
1-2 cup cooked ham
1 (10 ounce) can broccoli cheddar cheese soup, condensed
¾-1 cup milk
¼ cup sour cream
¾ cup French-fried onions
1 (15 ounce) can peas
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup croutons, finely crushed
Cook rice according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dice ham into small pieces.
Place rice in a 13" x 9" baking dish and top with ham and stir to combine. Use as much or as little ham as you would like.
In a large bowl, mix broccoli cheddar soup, milk and sour cream. Start with ¾ cup milk and add more to the consistency if you like. Stir ½ cup French-fried onions, peas and ½ cup cheddar cheese into the soup mixture. When combined, pour the soup mixture over the rice/ham mixture and stir well, but gently, to combine.
Sprinkle ½ cup cheddar cheese over the rice/soup mixture. Top this with ¼ cup (or more) French-fried onions.
In a plastic bag, crush croutons, then measure. It might take ¼ bag of croutons to get ¼ cup of crushed croutons. Sprinkle crushed croutons over top of all.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until the edges start to get bubbly and it is heated through.

I'm talking about the duck!! Not a female!!
I would like somebody to explain to me what the characteristics of a mature redhead versus a less mature redhead are. The drake. I'm not necessarily talking about plumage. I shot 2 today and want to make a good decision on which one to mount.
I personally think on is prettier, due to the black around the base of the neck is alot darker. But, the other one had a little brown mixed in with the black. I will post a pic but it will cut off the right side of the pic

Comments about oreilly The Best of Instructables Volume I:
I would call it a super edition of Make: Magazine. It's jam packed with over 120 projects in over 300 pages, very close to Make: Magazine's familiar format. There are 12 categories of projects, from electronics, computers and robotics, to entertainment, crafts, food and home/garden. Some projects are practical, some whimsical, and some just plain entertaining, so there is likely something for everyone. One of my favorites: The concrete light bulb wall hook, but I don't think my wife was impressed by it :-/ And with a title that includes "Volume 1," you know there must be a sequel in the works. And if you are able to work your way through all the projects in this book, just head to "http://www.instructables.com" for your next fix.http://elug.ca/reviews/best_of_instructables_volume_1.shtml (http://elug.ca/reviews/best_of_instructables_volume_1.shtml)

A must-read
By thornow
from Undisclosed
I was very excited to get my copy of The best of instructables , Vol 1, in the mail. I was expecting a stellar set of instructions for making a dizzying array of items, and I was not disappointed. The book contains step-by-step instructions for making a variety of fascinating projects, such as a light bulb greenhouse, a flashlight business card, carrot caviar, and a trebuchet made from office supplies.In between projects are interspersed many pictures and descriptions of additional projects that can be accessed online for free. As a set of instructions, this book is unsurpassed, but it is an interesting read simply as a compelling story. The story is that of thousands of users who created. Who cooked. Who played. Who dreamed up something new. And then shared it with the world.Clear, simple instructions, coupled with superb photographs and tinged with humor, this book is very well done. I will admit that I am somewhat hard to please when it comes to books, and I have little patience for a badly written book, but this one impressed me.I highly recommend that you read it, and also check out the thousands of other projects found on www.instructables.com. You might even find yourself posting instructions for something awesome you've made, or show how you followed the instructions to make one of the projects in the book!
A creative book for a creative mind
By Michael Kim (college student)
Let me start off by saying this is a innovative "how to make" book with vivid pictures and easy to follow step by step instructions. Some of the projects go to the extent of providing information on where to acquire the items and about how much it would cost to make the item. Anyone can easily find at least a couple of projects that would interest him/her.There were many projects that were astonishing to me, such as the project where one could make a computer out of a Nintendo game console or the project where one could make a wallet out of a computer keyboard. Although there were many intriguing projects, there were a couple that just seemed out of place such as the project whereit showed how to eat a banana like a monkey (it was pretty ironic because it was the same way how I eat my bananas).In the end, this book is well worth it whether if you want to create a fun project with the whole family or if you just like creating things out of ordinary materials.

Arsène Wenger wants Lukasz Fabianski to show just how good he is tonight when he starts against Partizan Belgrade, and the manager is confident his goalkeeper will prove his worth.
Fabianski made a handful of errors last season and admitted he was "disappointed" with his role in the goal Tottenham scored in the Carling Cup tie last week – his one appearance of the season to date.
However an elbow injury to Manuel Almunia means the Pole has another chance to demonstrate his ability. Wenger has always championed Fabianski and believes he will come good.
"I want him to show how good he is," said Wenger. "He gets another opportunity to show how good he is.
"There is only one way to show confidence in a player and that is to put him on the pitch and give him his chance. I have confidence in him.
"As a manager you can give a chance to a player who is good enough - I believe in his talent.
"It is another big chance but you want a goalkeeper or any player to grab the chance when you get it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Murray • In 1988, shortly after the city built its new amphitheater, officials asked The Ballet Center in Murray to give a free performance on the new stage.
Susan Wright, owner and founder of the school, accepted the offer unaware that it would become a tradition that would continue for a quarter-century.
Friday and Saturday, July 12-13, mark the 25th anniversary of the school's "Ballet Under the Stars" performance at Murray Park.
High-school- and college-aged dancers will perform an original one-act ballet titled "Circus of Friends" as well as pieces from "Le Corsaire," "The Fly" and "Pinocchio."
The show offers a blend of repertory pieces along with some light-hearted humor, said Wright, whose daughter, Michelle Armstrong, choreographed the show.
The family's love of dancing continues into a third generation. Armstrong's 18-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, has started to choreograph and is a teaching assistant at her grandmother's dance studio.
"I think I was born living ballet," said Armstrong, who is pursuing a bachelor's degree in ballet at the University of Utah.
The "Ballet Under the Stars" show is part of the Murray Arts in the Park series that runs from late May through Labor Day and includes performances by the Murray band and other local talent. Upcoming shows in the series include performances of "Twelve Dancing Princesses" and "Oklahoma!" as well as jazz and acoustic music concerts.
Wright urges others to "support their local talent."
As part of "Ballet Under the Stars," The Ballet Centre will host a free ballet clinic for children on Saturday, July 13. It will be taught by the performers of the show.
Wright noted that the kids get excited when the performers invite them backstage that night to see them in their costumes.
Ballet Under the Stars
When • Friday and Saturday, July 12-13, 8:30 p.m.
Where • Murray Park Amphitheater, 495 E. 5300 South, Murray
Tickets • $8
Details • The Ballet Center offers a free two-hour ballet clinic for children 5 to 18 on Saturday at 10 a.m. The class will be taught by the performers of the show at The Ballet Centre, 70 E. 4880 South, Murray. Lunch is included. Call 801-266-5066 for more information.

As Election Day approaches, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are busy making their closing arguments.
Both candidates zig-zagged through the country over the weekend, trying to woo undecided voters and reinforce get-out-the-vote efforts. Obama often highlighted education in his final speeches as a presidential candidate.
At an Ohio school on Saturday, Obama said, "So let me tell you about change over the next four years. Change is a country where every young American has a shot at a good education."
More: Obama's Education Hits and Misses
He said that parents had to step up to the plate and help their children, but also students had to study. Obama added, "But don't tell me that hiring more teachers won't help grow this economy. Don't tell me that students who can't afford college should just borrow money from their parents."
In Romney's closing speeches, the focus was all economy – most of the time. However, in the Republican Party weekly address Romney delivered on Saturday, he mentioned five goals. He said little about education except: "Second, we'll make sure our students and workers have the skills they need to succeed."
Obama dove deeper into his plans for education this weekend.
He said that he wants to "cut the growth of tuition in half over the next 10 years" and recruit more math and science teachers – 100,000 to be exact. Obama also wants to train two million Americans at community colleges.
"That's how you grow an economy," he said. "That's how you create jobs. Educate folks, make sure we've got the best workers in the world. That's what will attract more companies to want to start here and stay here."
During the summer, Obama and Romney focused little on education during campaign speeches. That changed once Romney picked Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, and both Republican and Democratic parties started planning their national conventions.
Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee and the GOP's fiscal plan architect, is a strong advocate for slashing public education. The seven-term Wisconsin congressman is a strong critic of Obama's educational policy, including his "Race To The Top" initiative. He has called for slashing Pell Grants, student loans and job-training programs.
But for all the differences between Ryan and Obama's policies, Romney has taken to echoing Obama's platform on education over the last few weeks. Obama, unlike many Democrats, does not oppose charter schools and wants to see evaluation standards for teachers. Romney has said that these Obama initiatives "make sense" while arguing that Washington should have less control of education.
But one stark contrast between Romney and Obama is financial aid for college students. Obama won approval from Congress for a $10,000 college tax credit over four years and increases in Pell Grants.
Obama created the "Pay As You Earn" program that allows students to repay federal student loan payments at 10 percent of their income and forgives any remaining debt after 20 years of consistent payments.
Obama also took private lenders out of the equation for student loans. Now the federal government makes loans directly to students. Analysts have projected it will save the federal government $68 billion over 11 years.
Romney wants to re-introduce private lenders to the federal loan program. He is also against any debt forgiveness to college students.
"Don't expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on," Romney said in March at a town hall event in Youngstown, Ohio.
Romney also infamously said in another Ohio speech to college students during the spring, "Take a shot, go for it, take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business."
Those words came back to haunt Romney in the closing hours of the campaign.
"Don't tell me that students who can't afford college should just borrow money from their parents," Obama said in various campaign speeches through swing states. "That wasn't an option for me; it probably wasn't an option for a whole lot of you."

Besides not being a good shot and needing more practice, could something I am doing cause my shots to go high and left? Thanks.
Printable View
Besides not being a good shot and needing more practice, could something I am doing cause my shots to go high and left? Thanks.
Assuming you're right handed this may help you out.
Shoot the gun from a rest, it will help removed human error. :smt1099
JD, that chart is misleading.
I'm guessing--not having watched you shoot--that you're looking for the hit before the gun goes off, AND you have a bit too much finger in the trigger. Those two things will put you high/left (more high than left, usually).
Now, it could also be your pinky finger on your strong hand and bad trigger control, or anticipating the shot and pushing the gun forward and left just before the shot. Get with a good instructor, man. The cost will be less than what the ammo will cost you trying to figure it out yourself.
Have you shot any other guns? If so, does the problem persist? Have you tried shooting off of a rest? Has anyone else shot your gun? Have they had the same issue?
First establish whether it's you or the firearm. For all we know, your sights could be off.
My CZ inevitably shot everything low & left. Put an adjustable rear sight on it. Problem fixed.
Besides all that, since it's a Gen.4, its grip shape may be contributing to the problem.
Try changing the gun's backstrap to a smaller size. That may bring its muzzle down somewhat.
+1 on all the advice. You definately want to determine if it's you or the gun. My Gen 3 G19 shoots high and left also. If memory serves, I think I remember reading more than one other thread where other Glock owners mentioned the same high and left problem.
It's typically low/left with new GLOCKs. Even people who have one do it when switching to a different sized frame, like a G17 to a G19. Shooting high, it's typically some style change that's needed, like staying onthe front sight until after the shot breaks.
Virtually every shooter that I've taught over the years who shoots high is checking the target for the hole before the shot breaks. You get someone to stand to the side and watch the muzzle closely for 5 shots, then watch the shooter's eyes for 5 shots, and record the results.
After that I go through my diagnostic routine and watch the muzzle while they shoot a mag; there is continuous conversation. I can usually predict where the shot hit based only on the side view of the gun, And after 5 shots have the "problem" figgered out and at least 2 solutions in mind.
You need to get with an instructor, guy.
15+ years as a Marine Corps marksmanship instructor plus a proven ability to consistently hold groups in the 10 ring, one handed from 25 yards with a properly sighted weapon means I am certain my Glock shoots high and left. I agree that professional instruction is necessary to make sure a person is not continually reinforcing improper techniques.
OK, so, in your case, if you have a good handle on sight-picture concentration and trigger control, I suggest that your sights need adjustment. That seems pretty simple.
Get a taller front sight. Move the rear sight to the left, just a little.
That oughtta do it.
But the OP may be somewhat less experienced than you are. In fact, I'm almost certain of that.
In a new shooter's case, concentration and trigger control have yet to be thoroughly learned. They become important factors in the equation.
Further, the latest Glock's grip-form is somewhat adjustable, which may be a help, or not.
Thus all of our advice, all of which is useful.
Of course, as a USMC marksmanship instructor you certainly must know that all Glocks do not have a "high and left problem."
Glock pistols don't shoot "high and left." Maladjusted sights cause pistols to shoot high and left. Poor shooting technique causes pistols to shoot high and left. A pistol that doesn't fit your hand well might shoot high and left.
But it's not a fault endemic to Glock pistols, because, in any case, it is correctable, just as it is with any pistol you care to name.
Yeah. Sorry. I mis-read and somehow had in my mind that it was high-right, not high left.
Senior-citizen brain dump.
It corrected itself later, as you can see in my post.
The using of words like 'guy' and 'buddy' is not coming across very well. I am only trying to be helpful and add to the conversation without getting into a pissing contest. And I am aware that a Glock is not an M9.
I had the dealer put night sights on my pistol before I picked it up. I have no idea if the front has different measurements or not. The rear is flaired out at the bottom and if it is moved to the right, it will be hanging out of the slot in the slide. For now I will live with it. It's my defensive weapon, I'm not trying to compete with it.
To the OP, sorry this has gotten off track. It's easy to take internet communication the wrong way since there is no audio or visual clues to make sure everything is taken as intended.
Yeah, I forget about those things sometimes. They can make alot of difference.
ive had two glocks that I shot low left with. First was my detroit pd .40 cal put 500 rnds down range I ened up putting it down as payment for a brand new G17 put 800 rnds down range. i would always have tight low left groups no matter what I did. I ended up putting my g17 as a down payment for a sig p226. I hammer nails with my Sig and my S&W 686. Never found out what my problem was with glock maybe I couldnt get used to the trigger or grip angle I dont know. I think they're fine pistols just not for me I guess.
Confession time! I recently purchased a brand new Gen3 G-19. Everything I fired during the first month was left of where I usually hit with my Gen3 G-21's. I was totally frustrated! It started out low left, and advanced to high left; but, left it was.
I finally decided that the much narrower grip and shorter barrel were throwing me off. I began taking much stronger control over the backstrap - Really locking it tightly into my hand. I, also, tightened my fingers around the front of the frame, tighter than I usually do.
The pistol began to straighten out! Then I purchased a couple of packs of A-Zoom snap caps and added G-19 dry fire practice to my daily routine. Even though I am an experienced Glock shooter who can literally hit quarters with a large frame G-21, it still took me about 2 months and 1,500 rounds to finally, 'come on' with my new G-19.
Suggest you tighten up your grip from front-to-back BEFORE you break the shot. You should, also, be able to feel significant tension along the tendons of your lower forearm while your aiming the pistol. This tension should anchor itself in the swell of the backstrap as low down on the strap as possible. (You can feel the anchor point on the backstrap actually pressing into the heel of your gun hand - This is the principal control point for the entire rest of the pistol.)
Trigger finger placement and technique might, also, be factors. One of the best things you can do for a G-19 is replace the standard ribbed trigger with a smooth faced G-17 trigger bar. When you practice dry firing you need to watch for the very smallest movement of the front sight. THAT movement tells you where the bullet would have gone.
Another thing you can do while you're struggling to, 'come on' is to use, 'ball 'n dummy' drills. Mix a bunch of snap caps with a bunch of live rounds and load your magazines with your eyes closed. Don't look at the clip as you insert it into the mag well. You can learn a lot from, 'ball 'n dummy' drills!
Good luck learning how to use your new G-19. It's the one Glock I think everybody should own.

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 147, July 24, 1998
VAMPIR Tutorial -- Part II
This article expands last week's VAMPIR tutorial with these topics:
- User-defined activities
- Controlling data collection
- Parallelism
- Scrutinizing individual messages
- Linked displays
To review the tutorial's first 8 steps, go to:
In this issue, we get started again with step number 9.
Adding user-defined activities.
Basic VAMPIR usage correlates MPI activity with time. What we often need, however, is correlation with sections of code or subroutines. To do this, you must instrument your T3E code to define, start, and stop, application-specific activities.
9.1) Instrumenting T3E code with user-defined activities.
The following VAMPIR API routines deal with user-defined activities
(given in C, then Fortran):
Defining activities
int VT_symdef (int code, char *symbol, char *class)
These define a numeric code for a given symbol/class activity. In your program source, all such integer codes must be unique, and you must define them before using them.
Starting an activity
int VT_begin (int code)
Start the activity specified by code or ICODE.
Stopping an activity
int VT_end (int code)
Stop the activity specified by code or ICODE.
For example, we want to know what MPI messages were exchanged during the "ping-pong", and other, sections of our test program from last week.
#ifdef VT_setup /* my own macro */
#define PINGPONG 0
#define BROADCAST 1
#define MESSAGES 2
printf ("VT_setup commences...\n");
VT_symdef (PINGPONG, "PPONG", "MY_SUBTASK");
VT_symdef (BROADCAST, "BCAST", "MY_SUBTASK");
VT_symdef (MESSAGES, "MSGS", "MY_SUBTASK");
and in each of the segments of the program, started and stopped the corresponding "activity." (The re-worked program appears at the end of this article. Note, we also rearranged the "ping-pong" and "round-robin broadcast" segments.)
9.2) Color a user-defined activity and display global-timeline.
We recompiled the code on the T3E (step 2 from last week's article), ran it (step 3), rcp'ed the resulting .bpv file to the ARSC SGIs (step 5), reran vampir with the new .bpv file (step 7), and produced the global-timeline (step 8.1).
The new activity class, MY_SUBTASK, appears white by default, but it automatically appears in all activity menus, and is easy to re-color.
>From the main menu, select:
Scroll down in the "Activity" list to "MY_SUBTASK", chose a color, and click "Apply." This process is shown in the following figure:
(click on figure for larger view)
(Note: all VAMPIR pull-down menus can be "torn-off" by clicking on the dashed line. The "Settings" window was "torn-off" for the above image.) The new global-timeline is shown at:
We colored MY_SUBTASK activities orange, and they are labeled, as well. Thus, this graph shows us the messages exchanged in the ping-pong segment, and that PE 0 completed its ping-pong segment first.
- VAMPIR reads a user-defined configuration file which can be used to turn off the logging off particular activities. For instance, you might log no MPI routines except Send/Recv. (See the manual for more on this.)
- You may instrument your code to switch all tracing off for boring PEs and/or code segments. For instance, you might completely trace only one iteration or (as shown below) two PEs.
10.1) Disabling/re-enable tracing When your T3E code runs, VAMPIR starts generating profiling data immediately after MPI_Init has been executed. This data collection can be arbitrarily disabled and re-enabled during the application runtime. 10.2) Instrumenting T3E code to disable/enable tracing Disabling data collection : void VT_traceoff (void) SUBROUTINE VTTRACEOFF() Re-enabling data collection : void VT_traceon (void) SUBROUTINE VTTRACEON() (Note: these functions affect the calling process, or local PE, only. You can't turn profiling on/off globally: each PE must call the respective API routine.) As an example, we used these calls in the test code to turn logging off for a while on all PEs except 0 and 1. #ifdef VT_partial /* my own macro */ if (my_rank > 1) VT_traceoff (); #endif #endif [ ... ping-pong and round-robin bcast code segments ... ! #ifdef VT_setup /* my own macro */ if (my_rank > 3) /* never turn 2&3 back on */ VT_traceon (); #endif The uncluttered global-timeline: (click on figure for larger view)
(click on figure for larger view)
What does it mean? In general, only 4 of the 8 PEs are doing useful work in parallel. A similar, and more powerful, parallelism display is available under the main menu by selecting: Global Displays:Show Parallelism
- Step 8.3 displayed a pie-chart of the percentage of time that each PE spent running application code versus MPI code.
- Step 8.5 displayed a pie-chart of the percentage of time spent in different types of MPI calls, for each PE.
13.1) Linking the chart-view time span to the global-timeline. Display both the global-timeline and a chart-view (stats) window simultaneously (steps 8.1 and 8.3 or 8.5). In the chart-view window, click the right mouse-button to get the chart-view menu, and select: Options:Use Timeline Portion That's it! Now, when you zoom-in on the global-timeline, or use the scroll-bar to move forward/backward through it, the chart-view stats will be automatically updated according to the new time range. As an example, we zoomed in on a segment of the "trace-off" run. We configured the linked stats to show the time spent in the MY_SUBTASK activity.

A fully prognostic coupled ice - ocean model is described. The ice model is based on the elastic-plastic constitutive law with ice mass and compactness described by distribution functions. The ice thermodynamics model is applied individually to each ice thickness category. Advection of the ice partial mass and concentrations is parameterized by a fourth order algorithm that conserves monotonicity of the solution. The ocean is described as a three-dimesional time- dependent baroclinic model with free surface. The coupled model is applied to establish the Arctic Ocean seasonal climatology using fully prognostic models for ice and ocean. Results reflect the importance of the ice melting/freezing in the formation of the thermohaline structure of the upper ocean layer.

TIDES IN THE SEA OF OKHOTSK Journal of Physical Oceanography, 28, No 7, 1389-1409.
Eight major tidal constituents in the Sea of Okhotsk have been investigated using a numerical solution of tidal equations on a 5' space grid. The tides are dominated by the diurnal constituents. Diurnal tidal currents are enhanced in Shelikhov Bay and Penzhinskaya Guba, at Kashevarov Ba, in proximity to the Kuril Islands and at a few smaller locations. The major energy sink for diurnal tides (over 60\% of the total energy) is Shelikhov Bay and Penzhinskaya Guba. The major portion of semidiurnal tide energy is dissipated in the northwestern region of the Sea of Okhotsk and in Shelikhov Bay and Penzhinskaya Guba. Nonlinear interactions of diurnal currents are investigated through K1 and O1 constituent behavior over Kashevarov Bank. These interactions generate residual circulation of the order of 10 cm/s, major oscillations at semidiurnal and fortnightly periods (13.66 day) and higher harmonics of basic tidal periods. The M2 tidal current, caused by the nonlinear interaction of the diurnal constituents over Kashevarov Bank, constitutes approximately a half of the total M2 tide current there. The fortnightly current, through nonlinear interactions, also influences basic diurnal tidal currents by inducing fortnightly variations in the amplitude of these currents.

S. M. de Bruyn Kops and J. J. Riley. Phys. Fluids, 10(9), 1998. (to appear).
Massively parallel computers are now large enough to support accurate direct numerical simulations (DNS) of laboratory experiments on isotropic turbulence, providing researchers with a full description of the flow field as a function of space and time. The high accuracy of the simulations is demonstrated by their agreement with the underlying laboratory experiment and on checks of numerical accuracy. In order to simulate the experiments, requirements for the largest and smallest length scales computed must be met. Furthermore, an iterative technique is developed in order to initialize the larger length scales in the flow. Using these methods, DNS is shown to accurately simulate isotropic turbulence decay experiments such as those of Comte-Bellot and Corrsin [J. Fluid Mech., 48:273-337, 1971].

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ Is there a way to add the execute permissions to only those files that were originally executable? }} # Thanks to the readers who responded. # # Here's the easy solution (note the capital "X"; read "man chmod" for # details): chmod -R go+rX ./ # The current popular solution, apparently, uses the "find" command. # Here are two different responses that use "find": find . \! -type l -perm -0100 -exec chmod go+x {} \; Adds "group" and "other" execute to files (except symbolic links) that already have owner execute, starting in the current directory and working on down. # # # chmod -R go+r ./ find ./ -perm -100 -exec chmod go+x {} \; The find command isn't quite the same as chmod -R go+X ./ because it is looking for user execute permission only, but this is the normal situation (expand user execute to group and other also). Q: I am wasting too much time in re-compilation. Is parallel make available on the T3E?

text: Are we supposed to do anything to maintain attics? My house is only 3 years old and I went up in the attic today (after never having gone up there) and noticed there were already black mold spots on the plywood making up the roof of the attic There's no leaking from the roof, so I assume it's a humidity issue. My brother in law is a there's already standard stuff like vents, etc in the attic, and they're not blocked, so I don't know what else I'm supposed to do? He says maybe because it's a small house, humidity tends to be more of an issue. I don't really want to just sit by and watch my house slowly decay, but I don't know what can be done to prevent this stuff from happening. Damn, I miss renting!!

Okay, I've made a thread about this in the past, but it pretty much died due to lack of progress and other problems. So may I present the RETURN OF MERCKE LUTSO.
I'll post some progress pictures later, for anyone that cares to see them and/or remembers them. Also, here's an introduction:
I came up with the idea of a civil-war era Mandalorian sometime around 2003. After a lot of thinking, I settled on the name "Lutso", because it sounded like something that fit the character. I had trouble with a first name, so I called him "Merc" for a while. Eventually I figured out the confusion between Merc, the name and "merc", for Mercenary…so I changed it to Mercke just for clarification.
I started writing a short story about this guy. Around this time I started playing SWG and I got a lot of story work done within that creative atmosphere. By the time I left at NGE I had a story about 80 pages long, and still in progress.
I started seriously thinking about a costume probably around the same time as the character 2003-2004, back when the 501st Legion was still accepting customs. I started out with a helmet, and while I was still in the process of building it the 501st dropped the canon bomb and I lost all types of motivation. That lasted about another year and a half. But eventually, my creativity came back after staring at that half-finished helmet for so long.
I re-read all of my story to get the details straight, and started drawing. THIS SINGLE PICTURE served as my basis for most of the building process. Eventually I got some more detailed concept pictures, and from there I just kept adding onto the character until I had a really authentic looking Civil-War-battered persona.
Enough talking. I actually didn't expect such a long re-introduction, my apologies.
I won't even bother giving any details about the pieces, other than that everything was assembled by me - except the leather belt and holster - that was a custom order (although modified by me anyway).
Pictures are better than words. If you guys want any details about anything, let me know.
As a note, the boot armor is currently undergoing a revamp because it looks like ****, and the flash supressor on the blaster is new and has not been weathered fully yet.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
This is a small community, so I want to get some opinions on this.
There is a member of this community (on WMZ) who runs a distro. I ordered some stuff from her. I didn't get it, so I wrote to her--twice. She wrote back to me saying, "Sorry, I'll put it in the mail tomorrow." I never got anything, so I wrote again. And again. And again. She completely ignored me, and was clearly lying about sending the order. So I had to open a Pay Pal dispute, and then she *lied to PayPal* about sending my order. I never received anything.
Today, the Pay Pal dispute was resolved in my favor. I am debating outing this girl and her distro. I think in the interest of protecting the zine community, you should know this girl and her distro so you won't get stuck in the same situation I was in. However, this is a small community, so I wanted to get opinions on this.
Do you want to know which distro/member scammed me?
Views: 390
I think that's an excellent point. I'll wait to hear a few more opinions.
In the meantime, you should also know that she has an active Etsy website and she hasn't appeared to have any problems shipping *those* orders out. So it's not just some kind of life glitch--she ignored and then actively lied about my order--twice!
I know it's awkward. I have a small stack of zine orders I've never received, & have just decided to let them go, not wanting to step on toes or bruise egos. I used to put out a brief colum called "Delinquent Zinesters" but that's fallen by the wayside. I think there've been other discussions on WMZ dealing with this. I think you're totally in line naming names, and the person you're naming needn't take it personally, and offer an explanation if she has one.
It's not just non-delivery of paid-for zines, but starting distro & zines libraries & taking submissions & donations before you've thought about your time & resources & calling for submissions & never doing the zine you're saying you're all excited about. I don't want to sound all mean and hardnose, but hey, I think zinesters have to have a little courtesy and responsibility toward one another, & when they don't, it's legit to call 'em on it, & name names.
I'd prefer you say who it is so people know who it's NOT to be quite honest. I'd rather not people think that it could potentially be my distro or any distro that I know is legit.
Okay, well, I thought about everything you guys said, and I decided to name names. See who it is in my new blog post: http://wemakezines.ning.com/profiles/blogs/gigglebot-a-distro-to-avoid
Thanks for your perspectives, zinesters! I don't like being lied to, but it was a learning experience anyway, I guess.
She still owes me $12 for zines never delivered. I've emailed and snail-mailed more than once. This sort of thing leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. Her site is gone now, at least, so it's not cheating anyone else. In googling for info about her it appears that her dad died about a year or two ago. If that's so I'm very sorry, but it doesn't excuse not giving any public notice of her discontinuing her distro.

'Why Habs Lost: It's always a good idea to show up if a team hopes to win.'
Archives for April 2002
Game Report
Sabres 3, Canadiens 0
'"Right now it's a disappointment we're not in," Biron said. "But two or three years down the road maybe we'll look at this and feel that it was a necessity, that we learned from it and never want to be in that position again."'
Buffalo 3, Montreal 0
'"In the second half of the season, we were five games over .500. If we had a first half like that, we would have made the playoffs. We've been on a roller coaster ride all season."'
Sabres vs. Canadiens
'G Jose Theodore was the NHL's latest player of the week, going 4-0 with a 0.75 GAA and .972 save percentage.'
Scouting Report
'The Sabres have won three of the the four games in their often fierce rivalry this season, but the Canadiens are headed to the playoffs and Buffalo isn't.'
Sabres lose home finale to Caps
It was a story of two players. One was probably making his last start in a Sabres uniform. Another was trying to make a miracle comeback from a crippling disease and make a notch for himself in the NHL. Rob Ray could possibly have played his last game in Buffalo as a Sabre. Sebastien Charpentier stood on his head to thwart the Buffalo Sabres as the Washington Capitals beat the Sabres 3-1 Friday night in HSBC Arena.
Fans salute Ray as Sabres drop home finale
'He stood for strength in the dressing room and brute force on the ice. Friday night, Rob Ray sat alone in his locker stall and cried.'
Charpentier Blunts Sabres in NHL Debut
'The game resembled a preseason exhibition. The Sabres, who were also already eliminated from postseason contention, recalled four players from their top minor league affiliate today and rested key veterans.'
Capitals 3, Sabres 1
'"That was pretty cool," Ray said. "When that happened it kind of hit home, and that's when you start feeling it…I think the older you get, the more you start thinking about it. You understand, it doesn't last forever."'
Washington 3, Buffalo 1
'Buffalo fan favorite Rob Ray skated a two-minute shift at the end of the game and received a standing ovation. The franchise leader in penalty minutes, he becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season and may have played his last home game as a Sabre. "They accepted me very early here and I think if they didn't, I probably wouldn't have stayed as long as I have," Ray said. "They are a very, very big part of what I was able to do here."'
Ray's days as a Sabre may be dwindling
'"For a lot of years here he's epitomized the Buffalo Sabres," defenseman Rhett Warrener said. "There's nothing else that he wants or nothing else that he does but be a Buffalo Sabre. He loves Buffalo."'
Ruff promises a grand finale
'"I thought (Wednesday) was a sloppily contested game. It was an exciting game to watch, but we owe our fans more than that. We realize the team we're playing has got some exciting offensive talent. If we play that type of game (like Wednesday night) I think we're going to have worse results."'
Sabres vs. Capitals
'C Tim Connolly hasn't scored a goal in 22 games.'
Slow start crippling for Sabres
'"We know that we let ourselves down and a lot of people down early in the year. But in the last part of the season, we battled hard. Hopefully, it's a sign of things to come. Hopefully, it's a sign we're learning and next year will be a better year."'
Sabres, Penguins play to ho-hum tie
'Blowing a pair of two-goal leads certainly doesn't hurt as much as it used to.'

Strengths: Long and athletic post player that runs the floor well. Uses left-handed post moves to score effectively down low and has a solid face-up mid-range jumper.
Are you implying that Joe may have plaisted this pick?
Another wasted pick. Dumars must have hated this draft. He could have at least went for a couple foreign guys we wouldn't have to cut in preseason.
this draft is such a joke. Guy looks like Primoz "Stiff!" Brezec. Doesn't Joe know we actually DON'T HAVE A BACKUP SF?
Looks like a Tay backup to me.
He's listed as a PF/C. He's 6'11, at least.
From DX he's a good listener and very coachable
Does he eat his vegetables?
no need to panick here. dumars probably didn't want guaranteed contract from 1st round so he took long term projects. [strike]Pl [/strike]Waisted narcoleptics.
from draftexpress Trainer's Take: Don MacLean: "Trent I think is an NBA player. We've helped him by simplifying the game, giving him more on the block. If you saw him in college it was all pound it, pound it, right shoulder. Everything was laying up, flippy, and scoopy. Now we're trying to get him to turn it over. You saw it today where he went right at [Ryan] Hollins--you wouldn't have seen that out of him in college. The more he develops, which he will because he's a good listener and very coachable, the more he'll do it. The first week I spent a lot of time with him just talking about how he can be good at the next level, and it ain't going to be by backing guys down and turning. He needs to improve his shooting to the point that when he does square a guy up at the next level, he can knock it down from fifteen feet every time. He's gotten better in the last month at that…and athleticism-wise he jumps, he can really jump. He's made a few plays where you're like "holy @$#%." With his size, athleticism and his willingness to get better, I think he's going to be a good NBA player. I wish I had another three months with him, because then I think he could be really good. I'm not knocking the coaches at BYU, because they have to play the way they have to play to win games, they're not worried about Trent Plaisted's draft status. But [because of that] this stuff is all new to Trent. I think the more he gets in the NBA environment, wherever he goes in the draft, I think they'll start with this stuff and in time he'll be a good NBA player." [Read Full Article]
OT: Bill Walker's going to Boston. for cash.
Now i'm really annoyed.
Rumors have it that DET took Plaisted when they couldn't get a buyout for Euro big Ima Stiffovic. I got to stop watching the draft, I get too angry.
I hear one of our forum members thinks he will make us forget Michael Jordan and he will boycott the Pistons if they don't start him this coming year.
YouTube - • Trent Plaisted and the NBA Draft YouTube - Interview with BYU's Trent Plaisted YouTube - Plaisted BYU vs TCU
Joe only took the guys that agreed to go play in Europe since Pistons don't have any spots available. That makes perfect sense. Can't really expect someone from the bottom of the 2nd round come in and contribute right away.
Why not try and trade the picks for cash, or future picks then? I don't see the point in just drafting scrubs for the sake of it. Don't get me wrong, I hope at least one of these guys will end up making the bench, but c'mon, there were some good prospects still available, for positions we're lacking depth in (namely the 3 and 5)

Love for an older brother with special needs gave alumna Elizabeth Jimenez a heart for special education. It placed her in the first cohort group of the federally funded Master of Education in Special Education Leadership program at University of St. Thomas.
For the 2011 education alumna who now works toward her master's while teaching full time at Houston Independent School District's Lantrip Elementary School, special education is a passion.
"I watch my students get excited as they celebrate the small things," Jimenez said. "We don't realize how lucky we are to be able to do things for ourselves. When I can give kids the tools to do for themselves, that's the best feeling in the world."
Shortly after Jimenez began her teaching career, she developed a dream to touch more students than just the ones in her classroom. A desire grew to influence special education from the administrative level. That requires a master's degree.
Last semester, as the young instructor looked online for a master's program, she came across the one at UST.
"It was like a flashing light for a number of reasons," Jimenez said.
First, as a UST graduate, Jimenez already understood the advantages of learning at the city's only Catholic university.
"The most obvious benefit is the small student-teacher ratio, so you really get to know your professors and classmates," Jimenez said. "The professors have our best interests at heart and care about whether we learn and succeed. And I value the emphasis on building leaders of faith and character. Plus the campus is beautiful."
Through the federally funded program, she benefits from affordable tuition, but what she appreciates even more are the strong connections she is building with her cohorts through teamwork.
"I get to work on elaborate projects with people who have different ideas from mine," Jimenez said. We're given hypothetical situations and work out the best way to serve the child. It's constant collaboration.
"You stay with your cohorts throughout the program, so I'm creating a lifelong network of educators. And I will be able to contact these individuals for years and say, 'Hey, I need your help.'"
In the meantime, UST is recruiting for a second cohort group.
"I would say the ideal recruit is anyone who is passionate about special education and wants to make a positive difference in the special education department," Jimenez said.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Zach's Mom
|Hi again ~ and thanks, everyone, for providing some some great options. I was beginning to think I was on an endless quest for the right collar.
I've been through many collars and this one is by far my favorite: PetPDC ComfortFlex Limited Slip Collar
"Made in the USA
Fully padded nylon construction with reflective strapping. Highly adjustable, machine washable (line dry)
Smooth limited cinching action let's the collar tighten for safety, but never to the point of choking" (Amazon)
I like comfort for my dog, while being practical, safe for day/night use, and also for looks. I love this one!
They have lots of different colors to choose from. Great reviews! Here's a link if you want to see what other people think I got mine in orange, because she is mostly black and i love the black/orange look!
I like round braid paracord slip collars to prevent hair damage.
Blue Purple Paracord Chain Mart by DJetzel, on Flickr
|I really like lupine collars and they have a life time guarantee. They also have a great no pull harness that attaches right to the flat collar, so it's really easy to switch between the two.
|Zach's Mom
Best collar for my GSD?
I'd like recommendations on the best collar for my adult German Shepherd. I prefer a soft collar with a snap buckle. It's very important to me that this collar is very comfortable around his throat, as there may be some previous trauma there (he is a rescue dog). I find the 1 inch martingale collar he currently has is too wide (digs into his fur). I realize Shepherds have strong necks and going narrower doesn't seem to make sense, but his fur is getting 'mashed' up and snagged with his current collar.
I should mention that Im still training him not to pull on leash, and prefer to use the Lunzer harness I had made for him. I find myself switching between the harness, the martingale (not very effective), a slip collar, and a slip collar made using his leash - for more control. Im going to try attaching the leash to the front of his harness, rather than on his back behind his centre of gravity. Meantime, Id appreciate suggestions on a good everyday collar that can be alternated with his harness. (P.S. Ive read articles on the pros and cons of using prong collars). Thanks.
