Sun damage (also known as photodamage) of the skin can either be acute like sunburn,
or chronic like the gradual changes of the skin caused by an accumulation of sun
exposure throughout your life. Chronic photo damage results in either a cosmetic
change in the skin's appearance, such as fine and coarse wrinkles, or changes that
are of medical and health concerns, such as pre-cancerous lesions. The sun can also
change skin through freckles, discolored areas of the skin, sallowness and more.
There's very strong evidence that ultraviolet light is the cause of many of the
changes associated with the premature signs of aging skin.
Hyperpigmentation is associated with an increase in melanin, the substance in the body
that contributes to color (pigment). Exposure to sunlight is a major cause of
hyperpigmentation, and will darken already hyperpigmented areas.
There are two types of UV rays-UVA and UVB-both of which can harm your skin. UVA
rays penetrate deep into the layers of the skin and leads to premature signs of
aging, which include fine lines and wrinkles. UVB rays are the primary cause of
sunburn, because they penetrate the outer layer of skin and cause damage to skin
Too much exposure from either UVA or UVB rays can play a part in causing skin
cancer. It's important to use sunscreen protection year-round, because the amount
of UVA stays relatively constant throughout the year, and also exceeds the amount of
UVB rays in both summer and winter. Even on a cloudy day, 80% of the sun's UVA
rays may pass through clouds. What's more, when it comes to tanning beds, it's
important to know that tanning beds work by emitting primarily UVA rays, which penetrate
deep into the skin.
What can you do to protect your skin against UVA and UVB rays?
Because SPF measures protection against sunburn caused primarily by UVB rays, be sure your sunscreen protects against UVA rays as well by choosing products that provide both UVA and UVB
protection. These are usually labeled "broad spectrum," and are available as body and face sunscreens as well as daily moisturizers.
Wear or use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
Apply generous amounts of sunscreen, especially when you are active outdoors.
Use a water resistant sunscreen when swimming or sweating, and always choose a sunscreen that offers an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher.
SPF may be used to measure how long you can stay in the sun with sunscreen before
getting burned. If you apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 30, for example, when applied sufficiently, that
indicates it will take 30 times longer for your skin to begin to burn than if you did
not wear any sunscreen protection at all. With this in mind, you should reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours and after swimming, towel dry, and apply again for extended sun exposure.
We recommend that you consult your dermatologist or physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Jean Rivett returned to Green Bay for the eighth season of her second stint as head coach in 2013.
In 2013 Rivett oversaw a squad that feature two All-Horizon League players. Senior Jess Hrncar was named to the All-Horizon League Second Team while freshman slugger Marissa Michalkiewicz received an All-Newcomer Team nod. Mother nature wreaked havoc on the 2013 schedule for the Phoenix, as the team played its home opener and home finale in the same weekend. With five contests cancelled over the course of the season due to the weather, Green Bay narrowly missed the 2013 Horizon League Tournament.
The 2009-10 Phoenix squad had its best season in three years posting a 27-20 record, including an 11-11 mark against Horizon League opponents. Green Bay performed best in front of its home crowd, winning nine of its 15 home games on the season. One of the highlights in the 2009-10 season was Green Bay sweeping conference opponents Butler and Youngstown State in its last five games to earn the No. 5 seed in the Horizon League Championships.
For the first time since the 2002 season, three players represented Green Bay on the All-League teams. Katie Cooney received First Team All-League honors for the first time in her career while teammate Melani Niederer was named to the Second Team for the first time in her career and freshman Danielle Peerenboom was an All-Newcomer Team selection.
The 2006 Phoenix squad had three individuals - Lisa Meissner, Jenna Woepse and Kate Sullivan - named to the All-Horizon League first team, the most ever for UW-Green Bay. In addition, Anna Nieznanski was a second-team pick.

|I've owned one Friendship and sailed on several. None were hard to handle. Mine balanced so well that light lashings on the helm allowed her to self steer.
Friendship type Sloops were originally "designed" for the Cod Fishing industry, many ballasted with pigs of iron secured under removable wooden slats. "Designed" is probably a misnomer as the design evolved as necessary for a working boat over an extended period. The low freeboard allowed as small crew to recover nets more easily and a Friendship Sloop with a belly full of fish was near impossible to capsize. The rigs were overlarge and low to provide the power necessary drag nets, hence the Gaff rig that provided an enormous sail area relative to the size of the boat. While Friendship's are enormously stable and would track like they were on rails once set up, unloaded they had horrible weather helm and tracked only with a "fisherman's reef" and lots'a rudder. Joe modified his boat to a "Bermudian Rig" in the mid-60's while living in Key Biscayne, a move he described as a "transformation", tho' that move horrified more traditional watermen. At one point he was challenged to a race by another owner of one of Princess's sister ships (with the traditional rig) and Joe proceeded to sail rings around that boat, literally, from Key Biscayne to Coconut Grove and back. (That event is described in his second book.)
Joe was always "rebuilding" Princess. (I doubt if at any time there was ever a stick of wood aboard that boat that was more than 30 years old after he finished his post WWII rebuild in '47 or '48.) I suspect even now he's in Heaven's boatyard fitting newly milled Mangrove ribs into Princess's spirit with his tools tied to strings so he doesn't loose them in the sand/sea. "Mangrove--perfect stuff, last a 1,000 years..."
Interesting. I'm familiar with the history too. Friendships had a great reputation for seaworthiness, even back in the day. The one I know of that sank was an original I think, but racing in blustery conditions with topsails set iirc. I think the replicas that I've seen have about the same rig as the old ones, mine did.
You remember Schneider Pennant Sloops? My first keelboat was a 20' model built around 1961. I loved it.
I had not remembered that he bought Princess that early. Its been a very long time since I read any of his writings. In the mid-sixties he was still talking about restoring "Princess" like it happened yesterday. Joe was a colorful guy, and as a kid, he seemed way bigger than life to me.
His brother, whose name escapes me, ran a sailboat rental and sailing school on Manhasset Bay. As a kid, I worked at Sigsbee's Marine during the week, which maintained the wooden Pennant sloops that Joe's brother rented, and on the weekend I worked at the rental as a boat boy, prepping the boats at the beginning of the day and cleaning them up at the end of the day, and giving sailing instructions when requested or sailing with non-sailors to keep them out of trouble.
When I think about it today, I am amazed that even back in those simpler times, it somehow made sense to send out total non-sailors in leaky old wooden boats without an engine with only a 15 year old kid as the sailing instructor or chaperone, especially when I consider how little I knew then about sailing compared to what I know today.
I terms of my reference to capsizing and swamping, this refered to the older working Friendships which were worked in all kinds of weather, generally single-handed or with only a man and a boy. The yacht version tend to have higher density ballast, placed lower in the keels, and less sail area for their displacement giving them more stability and less likelyhood to capsize or founder. One of the glass versions that i sailed on had a self-bailing cockpit as well.
|The Dictator model, Jarvis Newman's 31' Friendship is an excellent boat. True, it is not a modern sloop. But it performs well, pointing high and sailing fast for a classic boat. (I've sailed on one). Jeff gives a good thorough description of the type, though I only know of one that capsized and sank, that while racing. I owned and sailed a 26' Pemaquid for several years and found her very seaworthy, great in big seas. If you're very interested, contact Jarvis, he still brokers the boats.

friendship sloop sailing and handling
well i just got in from a couple of days offshore the westcoast of vancouver island with my fifty foot friendship sloop. What a pleasure to sail...i singlehand it with a alado roller furnling jib and a gaff rigged main.
i built this boat, steam bent yew frames, the best materials throughout...so although i have blocks and lots of ropes, once you practice a bit, raising and lowering the main is actually a peice of cake. ive owned plenty of glass sloops thirty feet and up and some multi hulls too and all in all they all have stuff to learn and they all have good and bad to deal with.
the friendship sloop is a very stable boat due to width and ballast combinations and is infinitely adjustable. surprisingly it was well known for windward and ive been experimenting with it and shurely it points very well, as well as my previous glass sloop. you just have to have good sail shape and let it climb, its quite fascinating. the long sloped keel with its flat sides keep a good grip on the sea, and having the max draft at the rudder post makes for a pleasant ride in following ten foot plus seas as ive just experienced.
Now there are a lot of armchair sailors out there, and there are a lot of lazy jacks now days, too fat to haul in a line, too pooped at an early age to do anything but press buttons.....so dont fret, try one of the old timers out and learn......its worth the effort and they look a heck of a lot better than they make em now and probably ride the sea better too..........thanks sincerely mike
Friendship 31 sloop
There are a lot of reasons that they were as heavy as they were. Some related to the intent of thier construction which was fairly robust to take the abuse of being worked. Some had to do with workmanship which was crude and cheaply done (double sawn frames and chunk forefoots.These boats were seen as somewhat disposible.) Some weight came from the very heavy rig. Much of the weight came from carry cobblestone internal ballast. It takes a lot of ballast to get much stability out of a low density placed that high in the hull. But also as a work boat the Friendship sloops had to be able to carry a proportionately large amount of cargo.

Friendship 31 sloop
You should read Nick Finneran''s book STANIEL CAY. Two teenagers find an old Friendship sloop in the mangroves in Biscaye Bay in 1948. They fix up the boat and go sailing around the Caribbean. Great sailing adventure story.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – The University of Hartford men's lacrosse team led from start to finish on Saturday evening and earned its first victory in America East play with an 11-7 triumph over the Binghamton Bearcats under the lights of Al-Marzook Field. The Hawks improve to 4-8 overall (1-2 AE) and will have one week to prepare for their next outing, a rematch of last year's America East title game at Stony Brook's LaValle Stadium on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
Freshman Kevin O'Shea netted a hat trick to lead Hartford, which saw a nine-game drought against the Bearcats come to a halt with the win. Senior Carter Bender contributed two goals and dished out three assists, a game-best, while teammate Ryan Compitello and junior Rory Nunamacher each added a pair of scores.
The start of Saturday's game featured a trio of runs as the Hawks used a 5-0 rally to start the game before Binghamton (3-8, 0-3 AE) scratched across four-straight goals to make it a one point game at the halftime break. Following the intermission, the Hawks strung together four unanswered scores to regain their five point edge at 9-4 with 8:09 left to play in the third. Binghamton would go on to edge Hartford, 3-2, in the final 22 minutes but would never come any closer than three goals of the Hawks.
Compitello and Bender, a pair of seniors, provided the game's first two goals to give the Hawks the early advantage with just three minutes off of the clock. The Hawks continued to dominate in the opening quarter, a span in which they bombarded their opponents with 13 shots while allowing just one, as Nunamacher and Bender both went unassisted to close out the first and provide Hartford with the 4-0 advantage.
The Hawks' streak continued into the second stanza as Compitello netted an unassisted score just 19 seconds in to make it a 5-0 game however the Bearcats responded with a run of their own, reeling off four unanswered goals to cut their deficit to one at the half. Tyler Perrelle started the visiting team's run at the 9:53 mark and went on to cap the rally with his team-best second goal with 1:36 remaining in the first half.
Out of the break, Hartford regenerated its offense and cushioned its lead with four-straight goals. Junior Jared Franze the Hawks ahead at 6-4 at the 13:48 mark before sophomore Tate Klidonas reached the back of the net with 10:32 left in the third to extend his team's lead to three goals.
Just 22 seconds later, O'Shea scored his first goal of the game out of the ensuing face-off to double Hartford's lead at 8-4. The rookie went on to go back-to-back for the Hawks, finishing on a feed from Bender at the 8:09 mark of the third quarter to push Hartford's lead to five goals for the second time in the game.
Paul O'Donnell stopped Hartford's run with 3:13 left and with one minute to play in the third, Kyle Bakker cut the Bearcats' deficit to three goals using a pass from O'Donnell. Hartford, however, put the game out of reach with 4:48 remaining in regulation using O'Shea's third goal of the evening to ice the game at 10-6.
Senior Scott Bement enjoyed another stellar game in goal, totaling a game-best 13 saves. He needs just seven more to tie Chris LaMonica (1996-97), who is fourth in Hartford's Division I record books in career saves.
Hartford fell behind in shots by a 45-30 margin but edged the Bearcats in ground balls, 28-27. The Hawks also finished with the slight advantage in the face-off circle, winning 11-of-21 duels, all of which were taken by rookie Ty Schuldt.
Hartford was plagued by penalties throughout the contest, but held Binghamton to just three man-up goals in 10 opportunities.

The used book business is booming, according to a recent article in Publishers Weekly. The internet and the economy are driving supply and demand. The internet has greatly expanding the buying and selling opportunities for used books, while economically some booksellers report long-time collectors are selling their collections and downsizing.
Some bookstores report more business in used books than new books, both in their store and on their website and have devoted more floor space and staff resources accordingly.
Of course if you are a public library user, you check out books from us rather than purchase them BUT we know folks want to own some books and have their own personal library. We librarians feel the same way!
As a KPL user, you can have easily have it both ways. Our very good friends, the Friends of KPL, operate the bookstore on the lower level of Central Library. They have only used books and very gently priced, less than on the internet or at most other used bookstores, and to make it even better, the revenue from the bookstore supports library programs and services, such as our just-completed Summer Reading games.
Come visit the library and the Friends Bookstore – borrow a book, buy a book.

I am quite dissappointed at the idea of not being able to vote for potw again. I really enjoyed opening up the comp every Mon and pondering over the merits of each.
Is everybody else quite happy with this idea of having no more input?
Surely you can come up with a better solution than you are proposing Mark.
Potw is the members choice.
Surely the old format is not so fatally flawed that it should be uncerimoniously dumped. I seem to recall many many excellent photos gracing the top of the page. Cheating should be obvious to spot and deal with.
I say keep the old format.

Hi there,
Apologies if I am being completely stupid but.....Are there any templates for the armour dents themselves? I've got all the paint templates and I think I could probably ascertain them from this but I wondered if there was any actual dent templates which I could transfer to my armour plates (sintra) to get them as screen accurate as possible. I'm doing a Boba ESB.
I'm gathering all the information I can and get some work done before I post up a WIP.
Again apologies if I've overlooked some templates but I couldn't for the life of me find any.
Thanks in advance

It seems that youngsters a third of my age seem to be able to memorise this and type it in without thinking, but I need this put somewhere my lazy neurons can find it.
vlc -vvv "input.flv" --no-sout-video --play-and-exit --sout="#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=320,channels=2}:std{access=file,mux=raw,dst="output.mp3}"
...and don't forget to double-check that VLC has write permission for the target directory (it is very cautious). Yes yes yes, should be Linux, should be ogg etc. etc. but sometimes my hands are tied.
I am glad to see that Pedro is also having fun with R. There are, however, times when it drives me crazy. For example, carrying out simple linear regression, then using the result to predict a value. Note that in the code below I have replaced my preferred assignment operator (less_than + hyphen) with Pascal's := because Advogato doesn't like stray angle brackets, so rewrite it if you want to run the code;
# Let's create some x and y values
xlist := c(1:5);
ylist := c(0.9, 2.1, 3.2, 4.3, 5.1);
# Now simple linear regression
regobject := lm(ylist ~ xlist, data=data.frame(cbind(xlist, ylist)));
If I look at the contents of regobject then all is well. However, now for the prediction. In a sane world this should be as simple as;
predict(regobject, newdata=testvalue);
Where testvalue has the x-value to be used in the prediction. Unfortunately R fails worse than silently as it just provides the predicted values for everything in xlist. Okay, maybe I need to coerce the value into a data frame.
predict(regobject, newdata=data.frame(testvalue));
Nope. It needs a data frame with a column with the same name as that used to generate the regression object. I have not seen that written explicitly in any book or help file. Thankfully a few other folk have ranted about this so there are explanations out there.
predict(regobject, newdata=data.frame(xlist=testvalue));
Woohoo! So now,
predict(regobject, newdata=data.frame(xlist=2.5));
gives me the predicted y-value for x=2.5 (y=2.59). My guess is that being an R programmer is now so lucrative that documentation is written in an obscure (but factually correct) manner deliberately. Prepare for this blog entry to receive a takedown notice :-)
...and talking of Linux on odd platforms, my Ultra 5 lives again, and now with Debian squeeze. Getting the NVRAM back to a working state involved a big oops on my part, that required me to do a [STOP]-[N] to clear everything and start over. I also tried to use the serial console for the first time and got nowhere, but then I RTFM and found that the 25-pin port has priority and the 9-pin port doesn't wake up until the system gets further along in the boot process. With that in mind I'll dig out my old Laplink cable sometime and see if I can get the console to work.
As a follow-up to my previous entries on books, I was both amused and horrified when I borrowed a copy of one of the new omnibus editions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (my nearly three-decades old copies of the original books have all been "borrowed" by my nephews) and found that they've made some odd changes. One was to remove references to Biros and replace them with ballpoints. That destroys one of the local memes from my undergraduate days, when we referred to all writing implements as "biroids" (except when they were penciloids). The other noticeable change is that the Rory award is no longer for "the most gratuitous use of the word F**k in a serious screenplay", but instead links in a piece from the radio series on the meaning of Belgium. Strange people, these Americans...
To try and avoid becoming too jaded I am also reading Marilynne Robinson's When I Was a Child I Read Books which is wonderful. Robinson loves Walt Whitman and quotes him at length in the introduction, but I really like her own words:
"To identify sacred mystery with every individual experience, every life, giving the word its largest sense, is to arrive at democracy as an ideal, and to accept the difficult obligation to honor others and oneself with something approaching due reverence. It is a vision that is wholly religious though by no means sectarian, wholly realist in acknowledging the great truth of the centrality of human consciousness, wholly open in that it anticipates and welcomes the disruption of present values in the course of finding truer ones."
Tell it, Marilynne! Tell it!
Last week, I was watching a Public Service Broadcast warning us to be ready for earthhquakes and using the message that the day before the last big quake was just another day. They should use the same approach for encouraging backup strategies. I had been backing up our home's Windows box in a half-hearted way and naturally it died before I was finished (wouldn't start one evening). This was the first time for my partner to see me disemboweling something like that, and she was amused when I hauled out the dead power supply, trailing cables like entrails. Off to the local branch of my favourite store (only been there once since it opened) and managed to get one on sale. The sales person was weirdly evocative of Marigold Farmer (although I suppose working in public would be out of character for her). After a couple of hours of cleaning (six years' of dust) and reassembling we now have a system that is considerably quieter than before. ...and yes, I'll finish the backup, tomorrow maybe...
All I can do each day is to wait until I leave the horror behind (yay Vim!).
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

The right desk is an essential part of every workspace, whether a home office or in a commercial environment. Cymax carries a wide selection of desks to fulfill all your office furniture needs. Whether you are looking for a high quality computer desk, cart or armoire, we have the right desk at the right price. Read More
Boost your productivity with the right desk. We have all styles to ensure the perfect fit:
It might seem silly to call them computer desks since most desks are used for computers these days, but there are still some very big differences between a writing desk and a computer desk. Computer desks are designed to hold your CPU and they usually have extra features to accommodate your gear such as wire management.
These desks are usually configured as a spacious credenza with two desks on either side. The u shape takes up extra space but some desks are large enough to accommodate two people.
The versatile shape of an L shaped desk and they work just as well in a private executive office as they do at home. Try a small corner desk to create a home office in your living room. They typically offer double the space of a standard one-piece desk but can slot neatly into a corner. An L desk can also sit in the middle of a multi-use room to define the perimeters of the home office. Just check individual product pages to ensure the back of the desk is finished.
If you are looking to create an office out of your existing space, a corner desk might be right for you. A corner desk with hutch is another popular option that takes advantage of your vertical space and helps to keep your workspace neat and tidy.
Executive desks need to highly functional and extremely stylish. Choose a bow front design that is ideal for working face-to-face with clients or colleagues. Most executive desks are handsomely designed with rich wooden finishes like cherry or mahogany and details like raised panels.
An armoire desk is a great choice for those who prefer to hide their work at the end of the day. Armoires offer plenty of storage space as well as a pull-out desk. A similar option is the secretary desk, which is smaller in height but the roll top front can close when not in use. This style is suitable for writing tasks or for working with a laptop computer.
Find the right desk to suit your style. A glossy white desk is great for a modern office while a handsome cherry wood executive desk makes a style statement in an VIP office. Modular office furniture in bright colors is a refreshing choice for a busy space and sleek metal desks with glass tops strike the right now in a downtown apartment building.
Whatever the application and configuration you require, the Cymax collection of quality desks and office furniture will have you working in comfort and style in no time.

Maybe Slippie's avatar and his posts were meant for each other too?
I think it is supposed to be a fat samurai.
I know he composes his posts (composts) when heavily inebriated. Do you mean to imply he picked his avatar when he wasn't sober too? <-----------Slippy in writing mode. I hate it when Slippy is the on duty moderator. Here is an example of the latest pm warning he sent me: Deerest Darsh, Shtop acteeng like an ash. ---Shloopy-----
I agree. I don't mind playing the starters heavy minutes at home. You usually have the juices flowing and running on adrenalin with the crowd. Plus you need to make sure you win those home games. On the road you are basically trying to steal one, but you've got to take care of home court. At a cricket game its awesome. At a basketball game its an insult to do the Mexican wave. Can't say I've seen it happen too often. Got to see the first 2 games. We are just doing enough to win, but the intensity level does look better, especially from Sheed.
I like what Magic said during the TNT broadcast about how his Lakers goal was to get the starters on the bench for the fourth quarter and sweep the teams that you have to sweep. I think the Pistons should be playing the same way. They need to see that there are veterans that need as much energy as possible in upcoming rounds. (Webber, etc.)
I hope I never get to a point in my Pistons fan career when I think any series in the Playoffs is boring.
The Magic are so loathsomely boring. Darko fatigue. Howard, another young super specimen lacking any refined skills. Nelson. An experiment gone horribly wrong. Turkoglu, has trouble being the man. Hill, smiling his way to elimination. There is little emotion. The Pistons are trying to put together solid 48 minutes and stay healthy. When the games get desperate, and we feel afraid that the Pistons might lose, then it isn't boring anymore. It's ecstasy.
I guarantee that the next game will be more exciting. The Magic will play better, the crowd will be more into it, and the odds are that the Pistons won't get such an all around performance from so many different players. All it takes is for 2 Pistons to be on, but in the last 2 games, hardly anyone had an off game. We had 6 difference guys coming through for us. As far as Howard... I know he's fun to watch. But was he really deserving of an All-Star appearance this year? He has less finesse than Shaq, can't shoot free throws, and turns the ball over every other touch. I think he is 3 more years away from real domination.
I think the fans and the media are making this series seem boring because everybody knows the Pistons are the superior team. The players know it, the coaches know it, the fans know it, and the experts know it. As a player, I'd probably find it hard to play with intensity if I felt it was going to be a walk in the park, everyone saying it ought to be a sweep. But as a fan, I'm 5 kinds of excited just to be watching the Pistons ball. Say what you want, but in my mind, Detroit basketball is never boring. "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about."~Charles Kingsley We're supposed to be the greatest, most loyal fans in the world so let's start acting it and get pumped!!! OWW!
Chauncey said that on his resume he's missing one piece - playoff sweep. I wonder if he is implying that Pistons will go for the throat this time, something they haven't done in a long long time.
The Pistons are doing one thing right...that's staying away from Darko.
Still I like my take on the Grant Hill thing. http://www.pistonsforum.com/detroit...ion/684-bad-gm-vs-good-gm-raps-vs-stones.html
Darko should be bigger part of the Magic's offense - Orlando Sentinel : Orlando Magic Article from the Orlando Sentinel. The JJ Reddick quote was pretty sad:"I've figured out over the course of the season that there's no rhyme or reason to anything," J.J. answers. "I have no expectations going into the game. That way, I can deal with it mentally."
What's sad about it? That's a commendable attitude that rookies playing for all but about three or four coaches in the NBA (and veterans playing for at least half of them) should take – although maybe they should be a little more dishonest when talking to the media. For a pathetic little Dukie, he seems to have his head on straight.
It's a little sad that he is resorting to mental defenses to keep his coach from completely breaking him. He was getting a lot of playing time heading into the playoffs and was doing a pretty good job. Shot 42% 3's in April.
Do I detect a little bias here? Wait, it can't be biased if it's true, right? Anyway, I'd go so far as to say that Darko has been their best player so far and ought to be starting. Let Battie bring some energy off the bench. And with the Pistons showing a lack of interest in getting up on jump shooters (can you say Turkoglu?), it does seem like stretching them even more with another shooter might be a good idea. I stand by my prediction in another thread - if the Magic hadn't made the playoffs, Hill would have been the next coach out the door.
I don't where this boring thing started. Been hearing that a lot on talk radio, mainly on the Pistons flagship station ( way to advertise a series guys ). Maybe if we lost a game it would be more exciting. Granted its not as interesting as the later rounds but Its been more fun to me that playing Milw again. Has to be some entertainment value in beating a team that has 3 x-Pistons on it? Hills 1st playoffs with the Magic.
Orlando is a bad team that tries to play like a much more talented team, and Detroit's not doing anything but trying to set shot-clock era records for slowest pace, running about five offensive sets and hacking away on D. It's just bad basketball.
I don't get it. I really don't. The Pistons are winning each game at home by about 10 points. So it is boring and nobody likes it. If we totally blew them out it would be even more boring, I suppose. If the games were any closer people would complain that we are doomed in round two when we play a good team. I'm wondering...what is it exactly that we were expecting?
I'm not saying I am not happy, just that this series is boring because after following the Pistons all season, and being somewhat aware of who the Magic are, I don't feel the Pistons are threatened at all in this series. And that tension, for someone who has been watching the NBA for over 20 years is necessary for me. I need to feel like every second, every shot counts. Against the Magic, I'm biding my time waiting for the real battles to come.
Separate names with a comma.

2003 Jetta TDI with 204k+ miles and recently the mileage has decreased (last 10 fill ups). 5 years ago, I was averaging a consistent 46.2 MPG all the time and now I rarely hit 40MPG anymore. What made me write in is that I just put 600 miles on the car, all highway which normally results in the best mileage I see. Tonight it averaged out to 38.4. Is this just age?
In case it's not age, here's what I've looked at hoping there's some maintenance I've missed
1) The intake is not all coked up with carbon
2) The air filter was just replaced
3) The MAF was out of spec last year and causing the car to go into limp mode. I replaced the MAF last year and recently found it's still within specs
4) Tires are properly inflated
5) I switched diesel stations in case there is a difference in fuel now from a few years ago. I've seen no change in mileage.
6) No engine codes or engine light
7) The timing is within specs
The car can breathe and the fuel was eliminated as a factor, what else could it be? aging injectors?

By Chris Harris
Per Mertesacker admits he feels much more at home in his second season in English football.
The Germany defender arrived just before the transfer deadline passed in August 2011 and went straight into the fray as an injury-hit Arsenal side tried to get over a difficult start to the campaign.
Mertesacker, like most foreign signings, took time to settle in his new surroundings. But this term the 28-year-old has been one of Arsène Wenger's stand-out performers and is well on the way to eclipsing the 27 starts he made last season.
"It was quite tough for me [in my first season] but now I feel much more comfortable with the situation, with the season, with opponents, with our team as well, with the game we play," said Mertesacker. "I try to keep on going with that feeling, yes.
"English football is much more physical than the Bundesliga so you have to make your mind up about the tackles, about the way you cover your partner. So I set those things up a bit and I feel much better than last season.
"We try to play our game, to set the pace. The improvement has been so big, especially when you train more than one year with a team. The improvement is that big and I think you can see it. You can see those players who came in this year, they need a bit of time to settle in completely."
Mertesacker does his best work in the Arsenal penalty area but he popped up in the Tottenham box on Saturday to power a header past Hugo Lloris and equalise in the north London derby. Mertesacker's first Arsenal goal came in his 41st appearance and he savoured the moment.
"It was kind of a relief," he said. "For a striker I think even more, I think of Olivier Giroud. In the modern game, set-pieces are getting more important, so you try to do your best as a defender to make a difference.
"After the sending off of Adebayor we had to come quickly into the game, so it was vital to score very quickly after that to show everyone that we are still confident. When you miss, or you are struggling, or you make a mistake, you have to switch on quickly and do you best for the team. That shows your responsibility and respect for the team."

Why no simplification ?
I evaluated the integral
Integrate[ Sqrt[4t^2 + 4 + t^-2], {t, 1, E} ]
by hand, which of course works out to E^2. By adding the terms over the
common denominator t^2, a perfect square trinomial results in the
numerator. Taking the square root yields just Integrate[ (2t^2 + 1)/t,
{t, 1, E} ] which is valid for t > 0 .
Now I can understand that Sqrt[ x^2 ] really can't be simplified to x,
but is really |x| . But in the case of a perfect square trinomial like
the above, which is always positive, why doesn't Mathematica recognize
this ?
Because it fails to recognize this simplification, the output is a big
mess, containing another integral. But anyone can see that this is
really quite a simple integral.
Anyone have any ideas how to get this integral to come out in a more
simple manner ?

Take an adventure holiday to BHUTAN with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked country located in the eastern Himalayas between Tibet in the north and India in the south. Bhutan has a rugged and mountainous landscape with snowcapped peaks and glacier covered terrain in the north, spurs of the Himalayan peaks in the center and heavily forested foothills and subtropical plains in the south.
Bhutan has long maintained a policy of strict isolationism, both culturally and economically and as a result the Bhutanese culture is one of the oldest (dating back to the mid 17th century) and well preserved cultures in the world. In fact it has only been in the recent decades of the 20th century that foreigners have been allowed to visit the country, and only in limited numbers. Bhutan has an estimated population of 600,000 which is sparsely distributed throughout the country. There are three main ethnic groups in Bhutan; the Ngalungs (often called Drukpas) live in the north-western region and their ancestors migrated from Tibet, the Sharchops who inhabit the eastern and central region and derive from northern Burma and northeast India and lastly the Lhotshampas are the third ethnic group who live in the southern foothill districts and are of Nepali origin. The Bhutanese revere the tantric guru Padmasambhava the founder of Himalayan Buddhism in the 8th century.
World Expeditions extensive range of touring and trekking holidays in Bhutan have been developed to offer unlimited opportunities to enjoy the warmth of the Bhutanese people, the unique cultural heritage of Bhutan as well as the stunning mountain vistas and untouched wilderness regions of Bhutan.

An unexpected package came in the mail last spring and I opened it. These electric little plastic baggies fell out and I thought, this was meant for somebody on the Furthur tour. But it was clearly labeled, Free Range Dubbing.
I didn't know what to make of it, or with it. I am not a fly tier but someone who ties flies, a selection of saltwater patterns and some bastardized variants, none of which require dubbing. I resolved to learn some patterns that do, but I am lazy. And forgetful.
The other day I started rummaging for other materials and saw the package and remembered. I bought some dubbing wax. I know just enough to be dangerous but it doesn't matter because there are no real consequences.
These bastards will swim and we'll see if something comes of it. If nothing, I'm blaming the goddam weather.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
thought this went through yesterday, but i'll try again...
got around to looling at the boat and it looked solid- for a 40 year old boat. i guess it's part of the learning process as i look around.
the more time i spent on it, the more i could see what is simple grime and what needs actual repair. rigging needs replacement, the running rigging was pretty crusty/sun baked.
the big question on my mind is the standing rigging: are those the original wires? could be, since it's spent most of its life on the light winds and fresh water of the potomac river. it was previously a local club boat (i've contacted them trying to get a better sense of maintenance over the years). i'll leave that question to a surveyor, if we come to that point, as that's not something to guess on...
the cabin is tiny, as folks have recalled. just the way boats used be be made, i suppose. i could live with it though, as 90% of time on the boat will be day sailing, and i'm used to backpack camping and roughing it. i learned to sail on a 25' drascombe gig in florida, camping under a tarp in the keys for 2 weeks at a time. amazing boat- too bad i couldn't get my hands on one!
solid bones, new motor, rigged for single handing.
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
Well put mstern.
I can only add that we raced our full keeled T27 against a fleet of fin keeled boats (T30, C30, O'Day 27 and 25 ...) this season and took 1st place. Sure, our PHRF is higher then most of the other boats and certainly the fin keeled models point higher into the wind but I find all of this to just add to the challenge.
The full keeled boat does track like a dream and as such is very forgiving since she can't turn on a dime. This quality also makes the boat a bit more comfortable in choppy water as the hull tends to punch through waves rather then over them.
I have grounded our T27 with the center board down and it has never caused a problem as the CB just tucks back up into the slot. I refer to it as our depth sounder since our electronic one does not work so well.
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?

what do you mean when you say 'not as comfortable in light airs"? harder to maneuver/steer because of slower speeds, or the actually comfort of sitting on the boat as it reacts slower to any wave action since you won't be zipping along?
for the most part, i do want a boat that performs well (aka not a macgreagor), but am not looking to race or expect to break any speed records (partner is new sailor). mostly something to get out in after work, or to take out for an overnight on some weekends.
As for sailing ability, the Dolphin is a full keel boat. It has more wetted surface (more drag), and I think weighs more than more modern designs. Generally speaking, full keel designs do not point as high into the wind, nor tack as easily as a fin keel boat. I have never sailed on a Dolphin, but my experience with full keel boats is that they aren't as fast or as manuverable, and they need more wind to get up and go. And because they are heavy and have so much of their body dragging through the water, they just aren't as fast. Oh, and backing up with a full keel boat under power is always an exercise in random movement. It takes a lot of practice to get that manuver to the point where it isn't terrifying. Full keel designs have their plusses: they track straight like they are on rails, they are generally less vulnerable to grounding damage (although the centerboard on Dolphin makes this less of an advantage for that design), and the rudder is better protected. For my money, they just don't sail as well as a fin keeled boat, and that's the bottom line. That all being said, full keel boats to me look so beautiful above the water line that its almost worth it. Almost.
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
Nice job, Caleb!
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
Look at the hull shape in the line drawings: DOLPHIN 24 (S&S) sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
Nearly identical to the Tartan 27', also designed by S&S: TARTAN 27 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
Tartan 27's smaller sister ship it is and even Jeff_H (resident boat design critic) did not drag it over the coals. Not surprising since Jeff_H also had kind words for the T27 somewhere in the ether here.
The Dolphin 24' (if in good shape) or the T27 would both be good choices in my not so humble opinion. I am a bit biased though.
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
Very pretty boat to my eye. Looks like a Tartan 27 little sister. Cramped down below, but well designed.
As has been said, it's all about the deck. Powered by outboard in a well - no problem to fix. Hull solid glass.
I think it's a vey nice little cruiser/day sailor that can handle some ugly weather.

As another poster pointed out, you might also consider the Pearson 26. Nice all around pocket cruiser with a good turn of speed. In that range, also look for an Ericson 25.
We cruised (and raced occasionally) a Niagara 26 for a happy decade.
If you were in the Pacific NW, I would advise finding a Ranger 24, also.
Happy hunting!

Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
A friend had one of these a number of years back. I remember it as a solid boat, decent sailor, with not a lot of space below. The Pearson 26 I had at the time was a palace below compared to the Dolphin.
You haven't looked at any boats yet. Look at a few to get an idea of what you like and don't like.
Re: thoughts on 1971 Yankee Dolphin 24?
I have not seen one of these boats in many years, but this is a design that I always admired. As noted in the ad, the Yankee Dolphin began life in the 1960's as a MORC (Midget Ocean Racing)rule race boat. They were designed by Sparkman and Stephens at a time when S&S was about as good a designer as you could find. The MORC rule of that era produced designs which were also about as good as they got, at least during that period.
Compared to other designs from that era, boats like Dolphin went upwind very well, performed well on a run with the board up, and were good sailing boats pretty much on any point of sail. By intent, these were also surprisingly seaworthy designs for their size. MStern is right that light air performance would not be great.
Boats of this era were designed for huge 170-180% genoas and large full sholdered spinnakers. Without these big sails, light air performance is not very good. While light air sailing ability is important on the Chesapeake, and I don't know how you sail, many, if not most daysailors and overnighters, chose not to sail in the lower wind ranges, so this may have minimal effect on you personally.
The shortcoming of the rig proportion is that it requires a proper choice of headsails for the conditions. The large headsails needed for the lighter end of the wind range are way over-powered at the high end of the wind range to the point that you can't simply rely on a furler to deal with shortening sail and expect to handle really strong winds.
A decent modern design would be expected to offer much better speed, (a PHRF of 265 is approaching the painfully slow category) and better light air performance, but certainly would not get into the shallow water that these boats can slip into.
My recollection of these boats is that they had a surprisingly complete interior for a boat of this size and era. While not luxurious as some of the later condo style designs, I seem to recall a very workable layout for the kinds of cruising one might do on the Chesapeake.
Over time these boats were built by several companies and build quality and details varied, but my recollection is that these boats were simply but nicely constructed. As noted, one of the big "if's" will the deck coring which depending on the particular company that built the boat (and my memory), was either masonite or plywood, neither of which are particularly good cores from a core rot standpoint.
Lunch over, I need to get back to work....

My friend and I have decided to go next year. We've been looking up a lot of information regarding it, and have decided we will spend my birthday in Atlanta at Dragoncon.
So, I wanted to swing back by and ask you all what I should prepare for? I have the flight already planned and found a decent hotel location three blocks from the three hotels that Dragoncon occurs at.
I've also prepared for my Dragoncon membership. We plan on leaving the day before it starts and the day after it ends. And I actually worked out a pretty good deal, I think.
So, I wanted to ask some of you Veterans what I should look out for? Are there any danger spot in Atlanta I should avoid? What events would particularly interest a couple of Mandalorians like us?
What is there to do other than walk around and get drunk and hit on women? My dream is actually meet Aaron Allston or Karenn Travis, but I understand that that's something everyone probably tries to do.
Can someone give me some inside information that I'm not seeing on all these sights and videos?

Ever since Deontay Wilder burst on to the scene, regular visitors to Vital Boxing may have noticed that weve been following his career closely.
Our belief was that the heavyweight division would be re-ignited with an American fighter holding a version of the world title; little did we know back then, the UK would be boasting two champions in the shape of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, with the heavyweight scene now thriving on a global basis.
However, Wilder, not shy of saying it how it is, is destined to make a mandatory defence of his WBC belt against Alexander Povetkin, in Moscow.
But Wilder is making the trip to Russia to knockout his man and determined to hold on to his titles, on May 21st and has tweeted,
I haven't failed yet so why would I start now???
Wilder has also spoken about the media suggesting Povetkin will prove to be his stiffest test yet, with the Bronze Bomber simply remarking,
They automatically assume hes going to be the best, hes going to be the toughest, or, Now this is finally a test for Deontay Wilder!
Hes tough, I can give him that.
Were taking Wilder to stop his man in the mid-rounds but weve a word of warning, beware underhand tactics, just ask the Australian fighter Lucas Browne.

Goalkeeper Vito Mannone has joined Hull City on loan until the end of the season.
The 23 year-old Italian also enjoyed a loan spell at the KC Stadium last term, helping the Championship side to accrue 21 points in his ten appearances.
He returns to East Yorkshire hoping to continue that good form and to provide a boost to the Tigers in their bid for promotion.
Mannone has featured once for the Arsenal first-team this season in the Champions League Group Stage match away to Olympiacos, and ten times in total since joining the Club from Atalanta at the age of 17.
As well as being a regular in the Arsenal Reserves since his arrival, Vito had a loan stint with Barnsley in 2006.
Mannone, who signed a new long-term contract in January 2010, has represented Italy at Under-21 level.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes Vito well for his time with Nick Barmby's side.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

Last Call For Full Capacity Magazines!
The Nanny Statists are on the war path, here in the United States. While their incessant calls for a ban on semi-auto firearms will probably fail, I predict that a bipartisan compromise in Congress will result in a new ban on full capacity magazines. This renewal of the 1994 to 2004 ban will likely have a grandfather clause, but no sunset clause. So TODAY is the day to do your best to round out your family's multi-generational supply of magazines. Even if you' don't already own an AR-15 or and AK-47, buy a dozen magazines for each. And for all of the guns in your battery that can accept 11+ round magazines, consider six magazines per gun to be a bare minimum, and 20 per gun to be a comfort level. Do not hesitate on this, folks. Prices are likely to gallop, once the details of Senator Feinstein's ban bill are announced! And even if common sense prevails in congress, at a minimum we can still expect an executive order that will ban the importation of 11+ round magazines. So this makes buying magazines for your foreign-made rifles (AK, FN PS-90, FN-FAL, FNAR, Galil, HK, etc.) or handguns (Beretta, FN, Glock, HK, SIG, etc.) your highest priority.

A $1.2 billion proposal to replace KCI's three terminals with a single terminal as seen in most U.S. airports has become one of the metro's most publicly divisive issues of 2013. Might it really happen this time? Will passenger convenience suffer? Backers say the hefty pricetag will be paid by the federal government and the airlines. But will the airlines end up passing the costs on to us? With air travel decreasing locally and nationwide, is this a smart move for the city?

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger picked Andre Santos for the final Champions League group game at Olympiacos because he wanted to "respect the competition".
The Arsenal manager gave his fringe players a chance to impress in Greece with top spot already secured but he opted for a strong back four with Thomas Vermaelen and Santos both in the starting line-up.
The decision back-fired when Santos suffered ankle ligament damage during the 3-1 defeat and was ruled out for around three months. Wenger admits he took a risk but insisted he had good intentions with Olympiacos one of three teams fighting for second place in Group F.
"I took a gamble because I did not want to be accused of just throwing the game away and I felt that therefore you needed a solid defence," he explained. "I wanted to be fair to the competition.
"Analysing him he came [into the squad] later and played less games than the others, and that's why I played him. But I had a long hesitation before I picked him, believe me.
"I felt he was a bit tired in the game before, and he had problems finishing the game. The way it happened to him it could have happened to anyone. It was not a kick, there was no contact, he was just on his own. He ruptured his ligament.
"It is very disappointing because it is first of all sad for the player and sad for the Club. It hits us in a position where we of course already have many injuries and where he improved from game to game.
"The length of the injury is very sad as well because he is three months out. The only good news is that the surgery went well and so he should recover quickly."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Ryan deivers lethal blow to OBY at great convention
That's what they were saying about Ryan's speech last night. Things started out easy on the Prez with Christie not even mentioning his name the first night. Twenty mins into the speech he said Mr. President, you insulted every citizen that built a business or wanted to.
Actually, Christie's keynote speech was like OBYs at the Kerry convention. He talked a lot about himself. Translated: If Mitt loses Christie will be the next candidate like OBY was
after his speech. He'll have to deal with Ryan though. Both are young stars of the GOP.
Ann Romney gave the best speech until Ryan's. She finally talked about what Mitt was like which allowed the country to see him personally for the first time. Twitter polls bumped her up by 34 points.
Back to Ryan's speech every analyst including FOX's liberal whom I like, Juan Williams, said it
was a devastating speech vs the prez.
The GOP paraded a lot of minorites out on the stage. Candy Rice gave a great speech too.
She grew up in Alabama where her parents weren't allowed to take her to a restaurant but they preached this was still the greatest country where she could become president one day.
Well, that little girl grew up to be Secretary of State.
She also criticized OBY for not having any trade agreements while China is getting more powerful with 15 agreements in last 4 years. Bush had the last trade agreements with 3.
Guv Martinez, the hispanic Guv of New Mexico, was great too. She grew up in a border town where her dad was the deputy sheriff and her mom was an office worker. They lived from pay day to pay day until her dad started his own security company. Her mom ran the company as the secretary, her dad got the work and she became a guard watching over the Sat night bingo game in town.
And yes, she wore a Smith and Wesson hand gun which weighed more than me. The place went nuts. Then she became a prosecutor but had to testify vs her boss. then she was fired
and ran vs for district atty. She was approached by 2 GOPs who convinced her to join and she beat her old boss by a landslide.
She also said, Mr. President, don't tell my parents that they didn't start their business. It
had over 125 employees when she left to go to law school.
Two more good jokes. A guy from Florida who played basketball in college said I'm always asked if I played the president in basketball and I say no only because he never invited me but if he did I can beat him on 1 and 1.
He always moves to his left.
Finally Ryan said Mitt and I have our differences. You should see his iPod. He listens to
elevator musice. My play list begins with AC/DC and ends with Led Zeplin and the place
went nuts.
Even the analysts commented on the great humor in most of the speeches.

Re: Ryan deivers lethal blow to OBY at great convention
One other point and that is about O'Rawly on FOX. What an idiot. I posted on the other thread where he said the libbies are controlling this convention and there's no presence of any Reagan conservatives at all. They didn't even ask Sarah Palin to speak.
Britt Hume said that's beause she's not in any office. Well, Huck spoke and he's not in an office and is a former guv too. He' also the leader of the evangelical Christians. Condi Rice spoke and blasted OBY on defense cuts like Clinton did after the cold war and we have ourselves to fear more than China. Ever here a lib talk like that? Of course not.
They think China is great.
You can't be any more conservative than Ryan. His speech explained what conservatism is and Hume
pointed that out to O Rawley before time. He's a Tea Party favorite.
So I call that a good representation, maybe not like the Nixon and Reagan years but they were well represented even with a
Christian leader getting a prime
time slot to speak.
I also saw Newt and Michelle Bachman in the audience and some other conservatives. So once again O'Rawley is wrong.

Re: Ryan deivers lethal blow to OBY at great convention
Upon further review, O Rawley might have been on to something.
There's been no mention of the Tea Party at the convention. They've talked about the movement in the
2010 mid terms w/o mentioning Tea Party. That's a big blunder that could bite Mitt in the arse as GOP keeps shooting itself in the foot.
The "Tea Party" band — which energized and even seemed to overtake the Republican Party in 2010 — has been virtually invisible at this Republican National Convention.
Karl Rove hates those guys.

Even the DEM analysts are giving high marks for the convention.
One guy put it in baseball terms.
It was the top of the 7th with the game tied 3-3. GOP scored 2 runs
and now the DEMs are coming up
in the bottom of the 7th with two
good speakers in Clinton and the Hamster to tie it up.
Yea, well, OBY better worry about that Clinton doesn't go to bat for the other side. He already met with them and said you have 6 months to save the country. He never got over OBY playing the race card on him.
Clinton hates him.
It will be interesting.

Firefox 3 RELEASED: Thoughts?
Yeah, I have some thoughts. First, anyone who writes "Thoughts?" at the end of every single blog post they right is just lazy. ("Hey, here's a story I saw online. I will link to it and add no value whatsoever. Now, discuss it. On my site!") Second, anyone who writes that in a blog headline ... well. Sorry, there just aren't words for how repellent that is. And really, all caps? Geesh. It's like the laziness trifecta over there.
