Depends a lot on your line system, if the pipe from the compressor tank to the hose pressure regulator is short or for other reasons has little cooling capacity then yes just mount it close to the tank. If however the piping from the tank to the regulator is already capable of cooling the air a significant amount then a downstream location will reduce the amount of heat the unit has to remove.
Old thread brought back to life.
I am going to assume this is for painting, with a HVLP gun
This is what I do. I have a small compressor, old Sears 3 HP, on a 20 gallon horizontal tank. The compressor has a regulator on it. It is in my garage. I do a lot of painting in a carport, 30 or 40 feet from the garage, or outside. But sometimes I will paint in the garage.
I also have an extra 20 gallon air tank.
When I am painting, I put the extra tank close to where I am painting. It also has a water trap on it.
I set the regulator on the air compressor to about 40 PSI, and run a hose to where ever the second tank is located. There is a water trap on the inlet of the second tank.
The air goes into the second tank, from the top, in the center. The air outlet on on one end of the second tank. I hook my spray gun up to the air outlet, and use a variable restrictor, with a pressure gauge at the gun to get the pressure I want at the gun, with the trigger pulled. I have not had a problem with water in the paint gun yet. but I live in western Oregon, so this system may be overwhelmed in Florida. Where I live, it is either cool and humid, or hot and dry. Rarely do we get high temperature, and high humidity.
My theory on what happens in my system. The air gets compressed, and heated. It loses some water in the compressor tank. Warm, humid air leaves the compressor tank, and goes through the regulator. The pressure drop there causes the air to cool some. Liquid water, and water vapor travel with the air through a host to the remote tank. The air continues to cool, and more water vapor condenses out of the air. At the second tank, the water trap catches the liquid water, and any liquid water that gets past the water trap, goes into the second tank. This air inlet is at the top of the tank, pointing down, and the water just goes to the bottom of the 20 gallon tank. The air going to the gun is pretty close to the ambient temperature, and is dry enough that it does not get below the dew point leaving the gun.
It would be best to have the air drier right after the compressor. That way the rest of the system will stay dry.
I worked in a manufacturing plant that had very large compressors, there were intercoolers that removed water from the compressor stages and aftercooler before the air was sent to the air driers.
You want dry air flowing to storage and into the shop system, that way water won't wash dirt/scale from lines and carry the stuff into your tools.
|so is it best to install the refrigerated dryer upstream right after the compressor or downstream right before the outlet
|Having added 30 ft of air hose before the moisture trap made a huge difference in my shop. The dissicant will work great just allow the air to travel through lines(20-30ft i've read) so it can cool first. 930

Working on air brake systems over here in Afghanistan for the military I have come up with an idea I am going to try once I get back home. Trucks that use air brake systems have an "air drier" on the vehicle. Air gets routed thru the drier and a desicant material then to the storage tank. when the pressure gets to a set point, typically 125 psi, it "pops off" the supply pressure thru the air drier, removing the moisture that was collected. That is the big air blast that you might hear when a truck is running.
My idea is to mount this at my compressor and us it as the drier for my air system. Any thoughts? Aaron
|I have eight industrial compressors the Quincy being the smallest. One 120 gallon tank will be a smoker/BBQ combo. Some of my tanks "look" very good on the inside but the unknown worries me. I guess I don't take the chances I once did. Thanks Shawn
I don't know if I would say that, it sounds like it may be a very cost effective move if the pump is in good shape. Those old pumps are are really tough and worth rebuilding if they are worn and if already in good shape they are definitly worth spending the cost of a new tank. My old Quincy pump is almost 40 years old and although I do have a certain sentimental attachment to it the thing still sees duty providing the air for my shop. I have it mounted remotely from the tank and removing the pump/motor vibration from the tank is a real plus for tank life if you have the room to spare. Sounds like a good plan to me!
|Yes the tank looks bad, I've looked inside it and no I won't take a chance. I'll pair up the pump and motor on the platform and run the air to a new tank. Not the most cost effective move but will see. Thanks Shawn
|Man, that tank looks a time bomb. I hope you get it checked before you try to use it. There is a whole thread on here about tank explosions. It's unlikely, but I would consider that tank to put you in the upper percentile of "those who have crazy stuff happen to them" rankings.
|Hello, I've been following this forum and have some questions. I'm working on a Quincy 230 air compressor maybe 8-10 CFM. It will have a 220 volt 5hp single phase motor. I want to mount a large finned cooler next to the flywheel then send the air through at least 30 ft of black pipe. At the end of the run install a down drop to a water/moisture/ pressure gauge set up. I'll post pictures after dinner thanks, Shawn http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e.../QUINCY009.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e.../QUINCY006.jpg
I think you may be missing what I am saying, the more vapor that enters the line the more water you have to deal with, water leaving the tank is considered water produced and water that remains in the tank is of little to no concern. So like Kgus said the hotter the compressor runs the more water it will produce, for practical purposes anyway, in the lines to be collected by the separator. If the air is properly cooled prior to the separator then that moisture will be removed and tank/air temperature will not matter but that is all too often the problem. When using a refrigerated dryer the temperature of the incoming air is usually of little concern unless the system is being overwhelmed by the volume of air flow but for most installations, especially the home type like most of the people here will be dealing with, the temperature of the air leaving the tank can be very important due to the fact it may not have the opportunity to cool properly before entering the separator. A lot of people here have experienced what I am (and Kgus) talking about, their system seems to be moisture free until the compressor is under a heavy demand and then water problems appear. This is due to insufficient cooling, for the most part, between the tank and separator and even when the system works properly more water is collected in the separator than when the compressor is under less load and running cooler, of course the difference will be contained in the tank.
BTW, like you I too have been selling and installing/servicing compressors and air systems since 1971 so I do understand what you are saying it is just that it seems we may be talking about two different things.
If you pass all the compressed air through a air drier then it matters not if you tank is hot or cold. The tank will stay "cold" only so long till the hot air from the compressor heats it up. If the water condense's and drops out in the tank so much the better, after that into a dryer and water trap, and you have dry air.
I've worked with large air systems for over thirty years and we always removed moisture before sending it out to the system, we had no tanks.
True, that's the way it works but a tank full of heated air will pass more water vapor into the lines than a tank full of cold air. When the air is cooler in the tank more of the moisture will wind up being drained from the tank at the end of the day while overheated air from an overworked compressor will pass more of the water vapor out of the tank and into the air lines, the hotter the air the more vapor it will contain. In the end the total amount of water collected will theoretically remain the same it is just a matter of where it will end up, in the tank or in the water separator.
|It does not matter as log as you get the temperture below the dew point and condense the vapor into water. Then have a good water trap at the discharge of the air drier. It is amazing how much water will condense during a very humid day. The trap will remove the condensate and you will have dry air.

Filtering Your E-Mail
So, you want to filter the "bad stuff" out of your e-mail huh? I don't blame you!
You can set up " message rules " or "message filters" in most e-mail clients. These can grab an incoming message and make it history before you ever lay eyes on it. You can have the message rules set up to check for certain subject lines, e-mail addresses, or even words.
I'll show you how to do this using Outlook Express . Please note that most e-mail clients work in a similar way (in Netscape Mail , you set this up as mentioned above—same goes for web-based ).
Here are the steps—it's not at bad as it looks:
1. Click the Tools menu, Message Rules, Mail .
2. On the screen that pops up, click the New button (for newer versions of Outlook Express, you don't have to hit the New button – the screen you need pops up automatically).
3. At this point, there should be a screen that lets you set up your rules. Check the options you want to filter. As soon as you check them, you'll get a new item under the Rules Description section. Click the underlined area to set the actual stuff you're filtering for.
For instance, if you're trying to filter out porn e-mail, click the checkbox in the first section, " Where the message body contains specific words ".
Now, click the link in the Rules Description box for " Contains specific words " (this looks just like a regular web page link).
On the window that opens, type in the words you want to filter. I'll leave the selection of those words to you since this is a G-rated newsletter
A word of caution though. Pick your words very carefully. If you choose a word like "naked", you'll never get an e-mail that contains that word, even if it was used in a harmless way like "the naked baby streaked through the yard" or something similar.
A few clicks of the OK button and you should be back to the message rules screen.
4. Now, you'll need to decide what you want done to the message once it gets filtered. This is done in the second section of the screen, " Select the actions you want to rule ."
In this case, you're probably best to scroll down to the Delete From Server checkbox. That should prevent it from downloading. Or you can just send it to the Deleted Items folder, that works too.
That should help you keep the porn spam out of your inbox, but keep in mind that you can also use message filters to send stuff to specific folders you create. For example, if you have 3 e-mail accounts, you can set up a filter that sends each address to a different folder.
The possibilities are endless.
~ Steve

ECO-STRUCTURE recently caught up with David Cook, project engineer for Hale Pilihonua, the University of Hawaii's entry for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon. (The project was withdrawn from the competition before installation in Washington, D.C. due to financial challenges.)
How is your solar paneling unique?
Our solar paneling is integrated into a canopy of panels and shading louvers that cloaks the main structure of the house, harvesting energy, filtering daylight, and giving the house its distinctive form. Supported by a free-form space frame connected to the shell of the main structure, the canopy is doubly curved and smoothly morphs from one end of the house to the other. The precise form and dimensions of the canopy were engineered for optimum solar-collection efficiency within the boundaries of the desired aesthetic, and the resulting canopy-integrated solar-panel array was found to represent the best compromise between aesthetic and functional performance.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
Insulation mounted on a thermally broken steel frame and sandwiched between two layers of fiber-reinforced polymer skin constitutes a translucent yet well-insulated tubular shell that enables natural daylighting of the entire house without sacrificing thermal performance. The natural lighting of the house can be controlled by the external canopy of operable louvers. Thermally broken aluminum-frame opening glass walls at both ends of the shell can be opened to take full advantage of natural cross ventilation. When mechanical climate control is necessary, a high-efficiency water-source heat pump connected to a 1,500-gallon tank of water and phase-change material located under the floor (which also serves as ballast to resist overturning in high wind) supplies conditioned air into the living space through diffusers in the floor. High-efficiency LEDs embedded in the shell can be controlled using motion tracking and recognition technology to make the shell glow with a desired brightness—a technology both convenient and energy-efficient. In addition, the house is constructed from long-lasting materials that are resistant to rot, corrosion and insects—common problems in the tropics.
What was the inspiration of your design, and does it display any regional influences?
We were inspired by rolling waves, tropical flora and fauna, and other prominent elements of Hawaii's ecology. The multilayered light-filtration concept creates diffuse shadows, as though cast by a grove of bamboo. With its durable materials, light-filtering devices, water-tight construction, and stable tectonics, the design also addresses the challenges of rot, corrosion, insects, high solar radiation, flooding and hurricanes posed by the tropical environment.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
Like many other teams, we found it difficult to meet the new affordability criteria and still pursue some of our more interesting design ambitions. In our case, the latter won over the former. We realized early on that our house would be costly, but we viewed this as an indication of its sophistication and innovation, and still think that it could be affordably mass-produced.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
The house is supposed to be installed in the private museum of one of our sponsors, in Pusan, Korea. This will provide a semipermanent home for the house and avoid any potential issues regarding disassembly and the disposal or recycling of materials.

In light of a possible reverse engineering run of my boots I thought I should start a new thread about how these replicas became a reality. There are many here that were not members that got a chance to see how these boots evovled from pictures to actual boots you can wear.
It basically started before ep2 came out. The boots were a big mystery until the sole was Id'ed on a pair of bed ford stu's and kenneth cole Mt. killamangeros(sp?). Then we were on the right track...
Finally a set of boots were sold on ebay and we all missed that auction. Some people on this board took further action to contact the seller and KC only to find out that these boots were never sold to the public. Luckly the bedstu's and Mt.k were still available for a while and some of us including my self were lucky to snag a pair.
Having basic knowlege of pattern making I took it apon myself to further study the pit crews from the ebay pictures and thought if only I can find the soles we would be in bussiness. A few months came and passed and while talking to a freind of mine, I showed him my bedstu's I was wearing and he put me in contact with a boot maker. I checked out his shop and and showed him the pic's of the kc boots and gave him my notes to see what he can come up with. I wanted to see how much attention to detail he was to see what he can come up with on his own. And a month later
the first proto
Kinda weird looking huh. As you can see I started making some corrections right on the boots and I knew the fabric part didn't matter because its only a proto and the final boots will have the right color. I sent them back and discussed all the changes with him. He was pretty cool about it and tried again. Only this time he took longer to make them.
They look better but still not there yet. He changed the back part and stitched lines are too seperated. Again I talked to him about these changes and I can tell he was starting to get impatient with my requests. he kept insisting that the boots were fine and should be happy that he was even doing them for me. detail is very importand to me and I didn't want to compromise on not having it as close as possible so I asked him to make me another prototype. Six weeks later... nothing. I called and asked him whats going on and he said that he wasn't going to finish the boots for me anymore because he thought they were fine and it wasn't worth his trouble anymore. So I was back to square one.
The next day after I cleared my head I contacted him again to find out who was the person who created the patterns form me and he told me that it was a young pattern maker that he sub out. Then he told me that he was there in the room with him while I was on the phone with him. He passed him the phone and we started talking about the details of the patterns and he acknowleged that the design was my property since I commissioned them to make them. We ended up exchanging numbers and continued to work with him instead.
It took another month to find a boot maker that was willing to give it a try.
the boot maker was pretty cool and was willing to work with me and after a few weeks he made a prototype. Now if I remember correctly each proto cost me about $450 to make and these were my third.
Yet still needed some tweaking. So another one was made. I can't find all the pics but this one where the two are compared.
I can't remember what were the details on this last one but I think there was another final prototype made. All in total of 5 pairs to get us to what we have now. Knowing they still had room for improvement I decided to got with it because I was taped out and didn't want to spend another year working out the details. I thought maybe I can try again later on if they all sold. But they didn't so I had to eat a part of the project. But is all good.
All in all it took about 6 months for me to finally get all the contacts to start making these and about a year from the first prototype to the final run.
These would not have been possible without the help of members of this board who also reserched these boots, gone to C2 to take reference pics of the whole costume and uploaded these pics for us all to see.
For that I love the TDH.

LEWISTON, N.Y. – The Canisius volleyball team dominated the fourth set en route to defeating rival Niagara University in the Gallagher Center on Saturday afternoon and sweep the season series for the first time in five years. The Golden Griffins won 25-23, 25-19, 16-25, 25-13 to improve to 8-13 overall and 6-4 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Five Golden Griffins posted at least seven kills in the match, with freshman Jacklyn Malusa leading Canisius with 10 kills. Senior Roxanne Hernandez posted nine kills on 14 attack attempts. Freshman Katlyn Tyler had eight kills and 17 digs while junior Emily Litwin led the team with 23 digs.
"We haven't won here for a number of years, so it's always a good win to defeat your rival, especially on the road," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We lost our way in the second half of that third set, but we really rebounded mentally and physically to close out the match in the fourth set."
In the opening set, Canisius built an early lead with a 9-2 run that included a four-point run on the serve of sophomore Lauren Siebert and was capped by the second service ace of the season from the middle blocker, to go up by five points. Niagara chipped away at the Canisius advantage and eventually reclaimed the lead with a four-point spurt to go up 19-17.
Canisius trailed 23-20 before winning the next five points to take the opening set. That run included three kills from Malusa and Tyler with Malusa recording four kills on five swings in the first set. Litwin closed out the set with a service ace to give Canisius the first set.
In the second set, the teams stayed close for the first half of the set. Canisius appeared to be breaking it open with a five-point run capped by a service ace from sophomore Rachel Kline, to go up 18-13. Niagara answered right back with a five-point run of its own, capped by back-to-back service aces from Logan Rae, to even the score at 18-18.
Tyler hit a kill off the block to stop the Niagara run and keep the Purple Eagles from taking the lead. The Griffs finished the set strongly for the second consecutive time with Tyler's kill igniting a 7-1 run. A service ace from senior Sydney Palka closed out the set and put Canisius up 2-0 in the match.
Canisius jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead in the third set, riding the strong serve of Tyler and two kills from Siebert. The Griffs went up by as many as seven points on two occasions, using a block from Siebert and Tyler to take a 15-8 lead. Niagara didn't go away quietly in the rivalry matchup as the Purple Eagles won seven straight points to even the score at 15-15 and won 17 of the final 18 points to force a fourth set.
Tyler's strong serve opened up the fourth set as the Griffs won the opening six points on the freshman's serve. The Griffs went on to dominate the last set as Canisius hit a season-best .519 in the fourth set. Canisius led by as many as 14 points in the set, posting four runs of three or more points.
Amanda Sedore recorded a double-double for Niagara (2-19, 1-9 MAAC) with 14 kills and 17 digs while Alex Stone also had a double-double with 17 kills and 13 digs.
Canisius returns to the Koessler Athletic Center next weekend for two home matches. The Golden Griffins begin the weekend against Rider University on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 1 p.m. That match will serve as the team's annual Dig Pink match. For more information on donating to the Side-Out Foundation, click here.
Notes: Canisius won at Niagara for the first time since Oct. 22, 2008, and swept the Purple Eagles for the first time since that 2008 season… Canisius cuts into Niagara's lead as the Purple Eagles now lead 3-2 in the all-sports Battle of the Bridge for the Canal Cup.. Canisius had a season-high eight service aces in the match… Canisius won 15 of the 23 points served (65.2 percent) by Tyler, with the 15 points tying for the most points won on one players' serve in a match this season.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:47am
BOSTON, Mass. – Major League Lacrosse, the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, announced Monday its weekly award winners for the week ending May 22, 2011, according to MLL Commissioner David Gross. Chesapeake Bayhawks midfielder Michael Kimmel was honored with the League's Offensive Player of the Week award while Denver Outlaws goalkeeper Jesse Schwartzman earned Defensive Player of the Week accolades.
In addition, attackman Jeremy Boltus of the Hamilton Nationals earned the first Cascade MLL Rookie of the Week award for the season.
Kimmel led the Bayhawks to their second straight win on Thursday night by scoring four goals with two assists in a 14-10 victory over the Nationals. Honored as the Bud Light Player of the Game, he gave the Bayhawks an early 1-0 lead when he scored an unassisted goal just over two minutes into the opening period. He extended the Bayhawks' lead to 6-2 early in the second quarter with an unassisted goal.
With the Bayhawks holding a 12-7 lead to start the fourth quarter, Kimmel tallied his third goal of the game just over a minute into the period with another unassisted marker past goalkeeper Joe Marra. Kimmel sealed the Bayhawks' victory with 1:36 remaining when he scored off a feed from attackman Danny Glading for his fourth goal of the evening.
A second-year player from Johns Hopkins University, Kimmel is the Bayhawks' leading scorer with six goals and three assists. With nine points in two games, he ranks third in the league.
Schwartzman helped the Outlaws earn their second straight win with a 13-12 come-from-behind victory over the Boston Cannons on Saturday night at Harvard Stadium. He made 12 saves and allowed just seven goals in the first three quarters before coming out of the game in place of Adam Fullerton, who played the final 15 minutes. A member of the military, Fullerton will miss the remainder of the 2011 season following his impending deployment to Afghanistan.
In two games this season for the Outlaws, Schwartzman has posted an 8.94 goals against average while stopping 62.5 per cent of the shots he has faced. He made 13 saves and allowed just eight goals in the Outlaws' 18-10 victory over Hamilton two weeks ago.
After recording an assist in his MLL debut against Denver two weeks ago, Boltus scored two goals in the Nationals' 14-10 loss against Chesapeake on Thursday night. He scored a power-play goal midway through the second quarter before adding an unassisted goal in the third quarter to trim the Nationals' deficit to 9-6.
The 2011 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Boltus finished his Army career ranked second in school history with 124 career assists and 214 points. A Tewaaraton Award finalist, he scored 24 goals with 45 assists as a senior.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Mark V, Jun 30, 2013.
CJ, can you change your profile status from Super Mod to Forum Jimmer Expert?
Reddick was pretty maligned for a few years until he figured it out. Similar players in that they were incredible 3-point shooters in college with massive range. The play would be to pick-up a cheap 3-point shooter for the bench. $2.6M for a guy that shoots over 40% from deep.
Not to be a dick-hole, but I keep clicking this thread hoping to see new Pistons rumors.. and it's been nothing but (he whose name shall not be mentioned) talk. Come on. Get a room/Start a thread.
Right. Players I would have in front of Jimmer Fredette: -Wesley Matthews - Gordon Hayward -Nate Robinson -Mo Williams -CJ Watson -Dorell Wright You know what, give me Austin Daye back.
Not a good person.
I seconded.
This rumors thread has run its course. We need a NEW rumors thread!!!!!
I agree. Would be nice to pick up any of them. Austin Daye is a good cheap bench player with the ability to hit 3's and be a lengthy defender. Would also be nice to have another vet or two on the bench who know their role. I always liked Wesley Matthews after watching him catch fire a few times.
Guys I don't want back: Daye, Tay, Rip, Okur, Stackhouse, Billups, Delfino, Amir, Corliss, Lanier, Bing, Dumars,.... Let's leave the past in the past and move onwards into the No Flip-Flops era.
Just commenting in gerneral after reading some of this thread. Getting a pretty darn good player like Smith has to make us better. For one, we don't ever have any excuse to play CV another minute. With Mithchel as a fourth guy getting minutes at power forward / center, we should always be solid on defense and rebounding up front. Something we were so often not the past two years with a coach who could care less if the other team waltzed to the hoop all night uncontested, and then if they did happen to miss, they got a myriad of opportunties as needed to score the bucket on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. chances. Now, while Smith may not be the best 3 point shooter, he certainly seems to be able to hit a short jumper if you sag off him. With him and Monroe being good passers, and Drummond having the soft hands, we should see dunks by Drummond from interior passes all night long night after night. And if Monroe improves even the slightest at his outside shootinig, hey, let them rip, cause between Drummond and Smith, we got a great chance of putting the rebound back in if they miss. Bynum was too short to play decent D. Singler and JJ too slow. None of these guys should ever see another minute on the Pistons. Besides, we have a couple of guys who can defend, and hit 3's, in English and Middleton. Let those guys be our bench brigade along with Mitchel and Stuckey. Defensively, you have good speed, height, and length at position after position, both with the starters and the subs. Sure, some of these guys are not perfect on D, like Stuckey getting lost on picks too much, but they will do very well indeed. So, with the rest of the free agent points left, I say pass. You might be able to upgrade slightly, but overall, Knight can defend well enough to make anyone coming in make us miss him on that end of the floor. Start Knight, split the minutes right down the middle with Stuckey. You got 12 fouls to give, and two guys rotating, staying fresh from beginning to end of the game. Knight and Stuckey have two very different styles, and I call that a plus. When Stuckey comes in, his mission is to crash to the hoop. Middleton will be in with him at small forward with JSmoothe moved over to power forward, Drummond taking a breather. So you got Stuckey driving, English and Middleton spotting up on the wings, and Monroe and Smith in to garner the rebounds when needed. Stuckey can dump off to the shooters, find one of the interior guys, or give it to a cutter like Middleton who can score the ball well. And on defense, hey, this 2nd unit is good enough to make the points stick. And Smith needs a rest, Mitchel comes in. No drop off at all in defense or rebounding - or ability to dunk the ball on a drop off. Monroe comes out, Drummond comes back in. A few spectacular dunks from him, and time to bring the starters back in. Soon, you have Knight, Pope, JSmith, Monroe, and Drummond all back out there. Either of Monroe or Smith take one of those "ill advised" jumpers, no problem, because hey, if Smith takes the jumper, he has both Monroe and Drummond to clean it up. Ditto for Monroe, as he has Smith and Drummond to make the shot taken look real good since the rebound got put back in. Pope will help spread the floor, and hey, since Knight is the point guard, and already has the ball under control, you can not sag off him. He can hit shots at a fine clip if left open and forgotten about. And believe me, with a front line of Smith, Monroe, and Drummond, and a solid outside bomber like Pope, they will often forget Knight. So hey, I say let this roster fly as is, and lets see what we have now. There is always the trade deadline, and the new cap rules. If things don't work out as is, guys like CV and Stuckey have expirings with which we should be able to get a valuable player in return. If we don't need one, hey, save the money, lower the ticket prices a bit for us fans.
Oh, it just made me wanna cry every time when "Amir" came across to my eyes. Hey Lee, how is this summer going ?
The Pistons have to spend more money. It's part of the CBA. If they release Stuckey and/or amnesty BoT, they will have to spend even more money. Detroit only has until this Tuesday, July 9 to use the amnesty on BoT. Once Tuesday passes and we learn further details of Smith's contract, we will know exactly how much more money the team will have to spend on free agents or via free agency.
Technical question here. If we were way under and forced to spend the money, could Gores sign himself to a contract and then just not play (or if in total tank mode, go ahead and play)? I wonder if they closed that loophole.
I think MJ had to give up his ownership before he made his comeback to play with the Wiz. How heavy can you front-load a contract? For example, could you sign a guy to a 3-year/$18 million deal and pay him $14/$2/$2?
Good point. Just looked up "why did jordan sell before comeback" and an article popped up that explained the conflicts and the loophole block in the CBA. Another loophole might be to reduce Joe's regular salary to $1 for a 10 year period and then sign him up as a player for 1 year with a $5M contract (or something like that). Stern probably has a superpower to just squash any obvious loophole violations I would think. On the frontloading issue, I think that someone here answered that the other day. Basically, frontloading is severely limited (surely to block what you are proposing).
Just making sure - are you talking about D-League Tony Mitchell or draft pick Tony Mitchell?
No. There is a % limit. And yes you cannot own part of the team.
Not bad. I might have gone with "Slappy" but we already have a Slippy, so it's cool.

NH part of settlement with tobacco companies
Under the settlement, announced Tuesday, the states will receive their share of $4 billion in disputed payments and the manufacturers will receive credits against future payments.
The payments resulted from the 1998 national accord that obliges companies to help cover the health bills of ailing smokers.
States, counties and cities have sold nearly $40 billion of bonds backed by the more than $200 billion in payments that U.S. cigarette makers agreed to make to them over time.
So far in 2013, returns on tobacco bonds have largely outperformed the rest of the $3.7 trillion municipal bond market, despite concerns expressed by credit rating agencies about the decline in tobacco consumption.
In July, Moody's investors service warned that the majority of tobacco bonds sold by states, counties and cities will default if cigarette consumption keeps falling at a 3 percent to 4 percent annual pace.
In December, California and New York's Nassau County tapped reserves for payments on three different series of state tobacco bonds due to insufficient tobacco settlement revenue.
The 46 states that participated in the 1998 agreement shared $6.15 billion in payments in April, up from $6.03 billion in April 2011, according to the National Association of Attorneys General.
Tobacco companies, including Marlboro cigarette maker Philip Morris and Camel cigarette maker R.J. Reynolds have for years disputed the amount of payments they owe after losing market share to companies that did not agree to the 1998 settlement.

When I lived in Fair Oak in Hampshire one of the old houses had a Fire Mark over the door in the shape of a sun. In the 18th century this was to show that the owners of the house had insured with the Sun Fire Office. I think the idea was that if it caught fire the company's private fire brigade would arrive and put the fire out. I assume that if there wasn't a Fire Mark for that particular company on the building they watched it burn!!
Anyway there is an index to some of these insurance policies online. You need to go to the advanced Search on A2A at The National Archives website
and select the Guildhall Library from the repository list and then enter a "name" and/or "address" and the word "insured" into the all these words field.
I put in Pottinger insured and got 6 hits. One of which was this
Insured: William Pottinger, 27 Queen Street, Cheapside, tailor and draper. Other property or occupiers: Parish of Great Pornder, Essex (Law and others); Parish of Bloxham, Oxon (baker)
So enough to give you some idea if this applies to one of your ancestors.
There is a good leaflet about these records at http://188.8.131.52/NR/rdonlyres/E62730BB-5BFF-4ED7-8B7D-C7F4777A7805/0/48FIREINSURANCERECORDS.pdf
and an excellent article in the October 2011 edition of Your Family History magazine.

You were attacked by a pack of coyotes?
Coyotes are normally solitary animals, except during the mating season.
When I was living in Los Angeles, interaction with one coyote or another was a weekly occurrence, even within the city.
They don't normally attack, or menace, fully-grown humans. Small children and pets, however, are at risk.
Did you report the attack to animal-control authorities?
There may be a rabies problem involved.

One of the best ways of gaining insight into a culture, of course, is reading a book about it. So what better way to spend NAIDOC Week - or indeed any week - than reading a book by an indigenous writer? Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures have a rich tradition of storytelling, so it's no surprise that this has continued onto the printed page.
But where to start? We asked author, commentator (and former host of Evenings) Anita Heiss to recommend some great books by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers. She's the author of many books including Paris Dreaming, Manhattan Dreaming, Am I Black Enough For You and Life In Gadigal Country.
In 2011 Anita compiled a list of 99 "black books" on her blog, and she gave us five fresh entries to add to the list.
They span a range of genres from crime to autobiography to educational and children's. Her five books for NAIDOC Week 2013 are as follows:
Micky O: Determination. Hard work. And a Little Bit of Magic by Michael O'Loughlin and Jim Main (memoir)
Mullumbimby by Melissa Lucashenko (novel)
The Boundary by Nicole Watson (novel)
The Yarning Strong series (Oxford University Press)
Shake A Leg by Boori Monty Pryor (Allen & Unwin) - winner of the Prime Minister's Award for Children's Fiction
Here's Anita explaining what she loved about these five books.

DHS Watchdog OKs 'Suspicionless' Seizure of Electronic Devices Along Border
By David Kravets
The Department of Homeland Security's civil rights watchdog has concluded that travelers along the nation's borders may have their electronics seized and the contents of those devices examined for any reason whatsoever — all in the name of national security.
The DHS, which secures the nation's border, in 2009 announced that it would conduct a "Civil Liberties Impact Assessment" of its suspicionless search-and-seizure policy pertaining to electronic devices "within 120 days." More than three years later, the DHS office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published a two-page executive summary of its findings.
"We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits," the executive summary said.
The memo highlights the friction between today's reality that electronic devices have become virtual extensions of ourselves housing everything from e-mail to instant-message chats to photos and our papers and effects — juxtaposed against the government's stated quest for national security.
The President George W. Bush administration first announced the suspicionless, electronics search rules in 2008. The President Barack Obama administration followed up with virtually the same rules a year later. Between 2008 and 2010, 6,500 persons had their electronic devices searched along the U.S. border, according to DHS data.
According to legal precedent, the Fourth Amendment — the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures — does not apply along the border. By the way, the government contends the Fourth-Amendment-Free Zone stretches 100 miles inland from the nation's actual border.
Civil rights groups like the American Civil Liberties Union suggest that "reasonable suspicion" should be the rule, at a minimum, despite that being a lower standard than required by the Fourth Amendment.
"There should be a reasonable, articulate reason why the search of our electronic devices could lead to evidence of a crime," Catherine Crump, an ACLU staff attorney, said in a telephone interview. "That's a low threshold."
The DHS watchdog's conclusion isn't surprising, as the DHS is taking that position in litigation in which the ACLU is challenging the suspicionless, electronic-device searches and seizures along the nation's borders. But that conclusion nevertheless is alarming considering it came from the DHS civil rights watchdog, which maintains its mission is "promoting respect for civil rights and civil liberties."
"This is a civil liberties watchdog office. If it is doing its job property, it is supposed to objectively evaluate. It has the power to recommend safeguards to safeguard Americans' rights," Crump said. "The office has not done that and the public has the right to know why."
Toward that goal, the ACLU on Friday filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding to see the full report that the executive summary discusses.
Meantime, a lawsuit the ACLU brought on the issue concerns a New York man whose laptop was seized along the Canadian border in 2010 and returned 11 days later after his attorney complained.
At an Amtrak inspection point, Pascal Abidor showed his U.S. passport to a federal agent. He was ordered to move to the cafe car, where they removed his laptop from his luggage and "ordered Mr. Abidor to enter his password," according to the lawsuit.
Agents asked him about pictures they found on his laptop, which included Hamas and Hezbollah rallies. He explained that he was earning a doctoral degree at a Canadian university on the topic of the modern history of Shiites in Lebanon.
He was handcuffed and then jailed for three hours while the authorities looked through his computer while numerous agents questioned him, according to the suit, which is pending in New York federal court.

Black Blade: So when the US Geheime Staatspolizei stop you at the border and demand your papers (and anything else), you must be ready to protect yourselves. Here's the short list:
1. When you travel abroad, leave your good laptop at home. Get a $200 machine, keep your files on the cloud, and destroy and discard the PC before returning home.
2. Carry a cheap disposable toss-phone, and don't keep your contact list on it.
3. Use a cheap digital camera to take photos. Load up online in a secure account. Destroy the camera and data storage chip (if any), and then pitch the destroyed camera into the trash.
Essentially wipe the info from memory cards and destroy any electronics. Store any critical digital files online in a safe account (even mailing your files to your Hotmail account will work) and dispose of all electronic equipment. Then go to the border crossing with nothing to declare.
UPDATE: One more critical item is to encrypt your files "just in case". PGP software is one good way to protect files from prying eyes. Why you ask since we are destroying the info? The answer is quite simple really. The info still can concievably be intercepted even if online as all electronic communications are to be stored in the new NSA Utah Data Center in Bluffdale, Utah (also known as the Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center).
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America , you get a front row seat. - George Carlin

Former UN secretary-general, Kofi Annan, apparently has been able to get both political parties engaged in a dispute over the recent presidential elections, to come togther in a spirit of problem solving. President Kibaki and the opposition Orange Democratic Movement, have agreed there must be a negotiated settlement. Annan said: "We all agreed that a political settlement is neceessary." There is some talk, Raila Odinga of the ODM, will be given a role in the government, but these details have yet to be completely resolved. As Annan noted: "These things always begin with intransigence. They will have to shift." The obvious major issue is how much power will President Kibaki agree to share. He already has backed down from telling the ODM to take their complaints to a court.
There is increasing evidence Kibaki's blatant vote stealing was used as a pretext by tribal groups to deal with old grievances that date back to colonial and post colonial events. Over a 1000 people are dead and 350,000 displaced. A political settlement is merely the first step in confronting issues that have been placed on the backburner of history for far too long.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by missflick, May 14, 2010.
I do think Facebook has privacy issues, but it's up to people to learn how to use the privacy settings and be responsible using Facebook. I'm always amazed at what people share and post on Facebook and how they leave everything open for anyone to see. I have all my privacy settings set to the highest level, you can't search for me on Facebook, or have my Facebook profile be shown in search engines. I don't add a zillion games or apps that share all my information. I use it as responsibly as it allows me to.
One of a friend's friend posted pics and video of her home birth. With details and close ups. I've always considered that kind of event private and intimate but she obviously doesn't. And because my friend commented, I was able to see it.
That was the only time I saw something out of the ordinary though .
A high school friend of mine has been posting weekly photos of her pregnant belly. On Wednesdays. Which we are supposed to be calling, from now until the birth, "Susie's Bump Day". On Mondays and Tuesdays, she reminds us that the day is almost here because she knows we "are all looking forward to it!" She's always been a bit self-absorbed.
Sometimes I think that Facebook supplies way too big of a platform for people like that to get worse.
My privacy settings are to the maximum as well. The thing that has pissed me off most is the new thing where your work, interests, schools, etc...must be connected to a page or not listed. What was that???
Betty White's monologue on SNL touched on a couple good points about Facebook, that it's a "giant waste of time" (guitly) and how showing someone vacation pictures was considered punishment or classes or something. (I'm blanking) I laughed, but .
I use Facebook responsibly. I keep my privacy controls as tight as I can, even though Facebook reboots them, it would seem, from time to time. My last name isn't even on there, thankfully, but I really hate that I can't be invisible anymore, and privacy controls/standards are changed often. I really dig those on my list who post articles and interesting points of interest, but they're few and far between. It's fine, I can just scroll by.
What I have a real problem with is that one can't REALLY control what's put out there about you. That others can not only put up a photo of you, but TAG you in it, is beyond ridiculous. I'm lucky, because I'm pretty sure I don't have any scandalous photos out there, but a friend of mine was at a party with a cigarette in one hand and something a bit illicit in the other. Someone snapped a photo of her like this, and threw it up on facebook with her name attached. Absolutely we should be careful about pictures we pose for/things we do around cameras, but I think the whole tagging business is ridiculous all the same. I have it so others can't see photos I'm tagged in, but I'm sure that'll stop being an option in the future.
I agree. I also have it so others can't see the photos that I am tagged in, but I don't like it when people put up bad photos of me. My flatmate recently informed me that she found a whole lot of photos of herself on our former flatmates page, untagged, that she had no idea were there. She asked the girl to take them down, but so far, she hasn't.
The idea of things about me being on the internet without my knowledge freaks me out. And people wonder why I refuse to be in photos
Hopefully facebook will allow for the stricter privacy settings, because if they don't, a lot of people will leave and a new site will pop up to grab the market.
I think that's an excellent point.
I think facebook has its definite pluses. It's particularly useful for people like me, who are constantly moving and have lived in many different countries. If it wasn't for facebook, I wouldn't have a social life. Facebook enables you to keep casual acquaintances at a distance, and that's vital to my balance. If facebook wasn't there, I don't think I'd be able to put up with this lifestyle. That may sound a bit extreme, but it's true... Having daily interaction with my closest friends on the other side of the earth, and having 2/3 a year interaction with a couple of hundred others wouldn't happen so naturally without it.
I also got my last job through facebook, and all the serious employment options I've had this year have been through facebook as well! so facebook.
I agree that it is up to people to set their settings according to how much they feel comfortable revealing. I disagree with some of the privacy options that facebook has taken away that were previously there. For example, I used to like that when a "non-friend" saw me on a friend's page all they could see was my name. They couldn't see a picture nor could they click on my name to get any other kind of information. Now they can do all that and see the pages I am a fan of. And now I can't even list any interests, schools, etc without facebook linking it and making it public. If i want to do that without linking I need to put it in my Bio.
And people always argue that we don't have to pay to use Facebook so we shouldn't complain. Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire before all these privacy changes. And he became a billionaire because we use facebook. So we aren't getting anything for free.
Which isn't possible when they add in new elements that are auto-set to little or no privacy, and until someone puts out a warning with instructions on how to reset the settings, and you change them, or you poke around yourself, the new elements can suck your info out at will.
There's a group of four guys called "diaspora" that claims to have raised enough money to program the beta for a new social app that will address the privacy issues in Facebook:
So do I, but that doesn't change the fact that a couple of months ago, I realised that I could see some profiles I previously couldn't see. And I decided to check my own settings, and discovered that facebook had changed them, without my knowledge or consent, so that a lot more things were public.
There's using it responsibly, and then there's corporate responsibility. Facebook shouldn't take away privacy options and change settings are regularly as it does, and without warning. There's a growing area of internet law relating to this.
Ironically, one of my friends posted on FB that government officials in Europe are putting heads together for discussion of whether FB has broken any privacy laws. In response to this and what I imagine to be an avalanche of complaints, FB has hired a prominent privacy laws attorney.
FB also had an emergency All Hands On Deck meeting to discuss the matter.
I would love it if Facebook as found liable for messing with people's privacy. I hate that I have to make it almost a weekly thing to go into Facebook and check my settings since they find it absolutely okay to change my settings whenever they feel they can.
I use it to keep in touch with old classmates and with newly-found family in Ireland, England and Italy. But I hate it.
And the apps gave me a nasty malware. No apps for me anymore!
I do agree that the direction that Facebook's privacy policy is headed in is a bit scary, and I can't say that I'm thrilled about their new thing with all of your interests being public. I don't have any apps because the whole access to all of your information thing really freaked me out.
That said, I'm in college. I use Facebook to plan/attend events for all of my extracurriculars and friends, keep in touch with people at other schools, and basically organize a large part of my social life. It's a huge part of the social culture at basically any American university that you can find (it was, after all, created specifically for colleges before it got really huge). Until "the next big thing" comes along, I'm kind of stuck with FB because it's so ingrained in college life. I do make sure that I really limit the amount of information that's on there, though, especially considering the fact that I'll be looking for jobs in a year or two.
If somebody wants to find out about you they will facebook, myspace or not!
So will you post a photo here of yourself using the bathroom? Because if we really want to, we could look through your windows late at night and watch you pinch one off...
I agree with your points here. I have had several, mostly unrelated groups of close friends throughout my lifetime (people from my former dance company, old classmates, college friends, friends from my old hometown, friends from my new hometown, work colleagues from more than one workplace, etc.) and I am happy to have FB to help me stay in touch on a regular basis with each of these groups of people (as well as mostly everyone in my very large family). Since I joined FB a little over a year ago, I have made (and continue to make) in-person connections with people from each of these groups, some of whom I hadn't seen in well over a decade.
Interestingly, because he saw me posting on FB late last night, my uncle realized I was up and called me from his new house in the Philippines (I live in the U. S.). He said it only occurred to him to try me because seeing me on FB put me in his mind (just to be clear, I am one of 27 first cousins, so he has a lot of nieces and nephews to try to think of ). Anyhow, we had a lovely, hour-long phone conversation that may not have happened otherwise.
I love FB and will continue to be vigilant about protecting my privacy (I don't list any personal info like work, schools, birthday, residence, e-mail, etc.,-- I figure that the people who I want to know that information already know that information).
I'd defriend that person, and it wouldn't have anything to do with Facebook.
You could also hide their newsfeed. I've done it with a couple of people.
That's what I do. Like you, just to a couple people.
PDilemma's friend would definitely be one of those.
But, see...there's a dilemma there. Part of me wants to defriend or hide her, and part of me wants to leave her there for mocking purposes. So far the second part is winning.
I recently found that facebook had linked to another email address that I NEVER USED with facebook. But used a computer with that primary email address but never used that email address to connect with facebook.
I changed the password, but if I had the save my password or leave me logged in I am not asked for the new password.
But there is a new feature, if you know about it or discover it by going through the settings that can notify you if a log in has happened at a new location that is not known. Don't know if that works for any system that you might have already been logged into.
Whilst a user does seem to be able to set privacy rules, FB seems to keep doing things like numbers' issue ^ and not telling users. That's just another reason I won't join FB.
Same here.
On another Facebook related note, does anyone find rather weird when couples, married or not, write message to each other in the status updates?
I closed my FB account eight months ago after being on for two years. I never used third party apps because I didn't want to share my info with total unknowns, add high privacy settings and a very small picture of myself that no one could recognize.
However, he straw that broke it for me was when I realized that they kept all the email addresses in my Outlook contacts list after I did a search for friends through my contacts when I first opened the account.
I found out because I got a "so and so" is now on FB, do you want to friend him? He was an out of town friend and we had no FB friends in common so it took me a while to figure out how they linked us together.
I realized then that I had offered them addresses of people that might never have wanted FB to "own" their information. And they kept it for TWO YEARS in their database, they could keep it forever and we would never know what they did with it.
I had also heard that the copyright of any picture you post automatically reverts to Facebook and I didn't appreciate this at all either.
Yes. Very. Especially married couples who have entire conversations on their walls when it is apparent that they are at home using separate computers to do so.
Also, people who post messages to their small children who cannot read as their statuses. As in "Happy 1st b-day, baby Johnny. Mommy loves you!"
Uh...baby does not have an account and cannot read yours. Why don't you just tell us that it is baby's 1st b-day since it is obvious that you posted this so we would know that?
It is just odd and can't make for a healthy marriage.
I don't think it's odd for couples to post on their FB profiles at all...so many people post to FB from their phones now. now, if it's all smooshy, TMI stuff about how awesome they are as a couple...gag. But that would be gag-worthy even if only one person in the couple is posting it.
If you added an ex-friend to your e-mail address book years ago, subsequently blocked him because you had a falling out but you forgot to purge him from your address book, he will be invited to your FB account if you give FB your e-mail password. FB will not notice that you blocked this person, it will just automatically invite all the names in your address book.
I recently realized that lots of skaters seem to be accepting absolutely anybody and everybody who asks to friend them. And these don't seem to be facebook accounts that are similar to an official site - with only skating/public information, but their own personal accounts, with private family pictures and stuff relating to their SO's.
Is it just me - this seems so weird and creepy, not to mention stupid.

captainbaldie wrote:I'm saying that the artist typically justs illustrates the theme on a base level, and that is what makes it boring to me. While technically very proficent, I personally find most of this artist's work that he submits here devoid of an kind of style or trademark.
In mention his composition because I can't really recall a design of his that looks like it was anything more than an illustration put on a shirt.
This is totally just my personal opinion, and I apologize if I didn't get my point across before. My recomendation for the artist is to possibly try experimenting with difrent styles, and thinking more outside of the box with his compositions. I believe if he could pair up some more creativity with his technically skill, I'd find myself liking his work a lot more.
Ah, gotcha. Your original post seemed, to me, to be very harsh and unfair. I felt I just had to defend the design because I find it to be so breathtaking. Looking back on what I've written, it kinda sounds like I'm trying to get a rise out of you or something, but that wasn't my intention. I think designers need more comments like the one I'm quoting now because it helps them recognize their strengths and weaknesses. It helps them grow. I apologize if I sounded like a complete and total jerk in my posts yesterday. It really wasn't my intention.

How does this thought process work? "Well, there's a raven and a cat that have been in the top 20 forever, lets just do that except with a rat."
Also, I don't really care what the unwritten rules are or how adorable someone thinks it is. It's not a pirate. It doesn't have anything to do with pirates. The rules specifically mentioned lots of things that had to do with pirates, and none of them were rats. It barely even counts as a pun if both the spelling and the pronunciation have to change.

You know, I appreciate the direct approach sometimes. People are so quick to wedge cute animals, pop culture references, nerd jokes, or something into every single theme regardless of relevance. It's nice to see a great pirate on a pirate ship in the pirate derby.
I do agree with some of the criticism that the pirate could stick out more with a little color and it DOES look a little like an airbrushing on a tee shirt. But I think they are minor quibbles, it's a damn awesome pirate ship.

It's not really a math joke, it's more like a play on the new-fangled digital pirates who plunder data instead of gold doubloons. It's a jolly roger made of binary.

Hi OnRPG. The year is almost over and and with it, another good chunk of our lives! So, why don't we enrich each-others lives by sharing what new movies we've enjoyed over the past year. We'll do it simple. Just give a brief blurb about what the movie is and why you enjoy it, trailers optional! Simple and easy. I'll even start, just to help break the ice. :sexy:
Pacific Rim
A bunch of giant mechs punch the shit out of a bunch of giant extra-dimensional aliens. Also there's this really weird underlying theme about things working in pairs. Like shoes.
The Conjuring
Supposedly based on true events, this movie plays out very much like Amityville Horror. Plenty of scares and a terrific atmosphere.

If confirmed by the Senate, as expected, Jacob "Jack" Lew will begin a second stint as director of the Office of Management and Budget. He served as President Clinton's OMB director from 1998 to 2001 – the only four years of budget surpluses since the 1960s. President Obama last week nominated Lew to replace Peter Orszag, who recently announced he was leaving the administration.
But Concord Policy Director Joshua Gordon points out in a new blog post that the budget picture has changed considerably since Lew's first term in the job. The budget environment is more partisan and the country is experiencing the largest deficits since World War II.
When Lew presented the Clinton administration's final budget in early 2000, the major fiscal policy debate was what to do with the surplus. That budget projected a surplus of $395 billion for 2010. The current projection is a deficit close to $1.4 trillion. We have also racked up $5.6 trillion in deficits since then.
The CBO estimates that nearly 70 percent of the changes since 2000 can be attributed to legislation. So the toughest choices facing Lew are likely to be whether to continue the policies that have had the largest negative impact on the favorable budget outlook he helped create years ago. The 2001 and 2003 tax cuts are scheduled to expire in five months, and the level of discretionary spending is one of the main barriers to agreement on budget plans in Congress.
In addition, the President's fiscal commission will issue a report Dec. 1. Gordon says that incorporating some of the commission's proposals into the administration's next budget and arguing for them on Capitol Hill may be Lew's most important mission in Round Two at OMB.


text: If I was Dumars, this is what I would aim for: #1 - Offer $18 million per year to Josh Smith. Yeah, he has weaknesses, but he's one of the best defenders at the 4 in the league. With him and Drummond anchoring the paint, it locks up the team's interior defense. #2 - Assuming #1 happens, work to swing a trade with San Antonio, essentially Greg Monroe for Kawhi Leonard. A good three is hard to find in this league, especially one that can both hit the three and play defense. I'd ask for a first, but not expect it (bid low, after all), and offer up Singler and/or Jerebko in addition if necessary. I wanted to do this a few months ago; it's going to be harder now and San Antonion would get more out of Leonard, but I still think it's worth it. #3 - Sign Andray Blatche ($6 million) and Kyle Korver ($7 million). #4 - Trade Stuckey for a 2nd. Anyone, please? #5 - Amnesty Villanueva #6 - Draft McCollum (ideally), or Carter-Williams. ($2.3 million) #7 - Resign Calderon for $9 million. #8 - McMillan as coach With an assumed salary cap of $58 million, this fills it. The squad next year would look like: PG - Calderon, Knight SG - Korver, McCollum, English SF - Leonard, Middleton, (+ Singler and/or Jerebko) PF - Smith, Blatche C - Drummond, Kravtsov I think this is a playoff team with good depth, and I think it's reasonable to achieve.

Breitbart gives shout-out to Birther website
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
For someone who claims not to have any patience for Birtherism, Andrew Breitbart sure does spend a lot of time endorsing and otherwise promoting its looniest adherents. The latest example comes from a few days ago, when Breitbart tweeted his appreciation of the fringe anti-Obama website HillBuzz:
HillBuzz was on the Birther bandwagon from the beginning, demanding that Obama release his original birth certificate to prove that he's eligible for the presidency. And they've stayed true to the cause -- as recently as April 25 they were claiming that Obama is keeping his real birth certificate under wraps "because his father is listed as 'Arab' and 'Muslim' on that form," and that information "cuts against the narrative that Obama rode to the White House, which he affirmed in his 2010 census - which is that he is black." And just for good measure, they hop on board another loony conspiracy theory and write that Obama "had William Ayers write two books all about his racial grievances."
But to their credit, HillBuzz refused to endorse rumors that Obama had an affair with a female staffer, calling the whole thing "ridiculous." As they explained, with emphasis added: "This is all really suspicious, though, because during the campaign we truly believe the Obama team pushed the Baker affair story because they wanted people not to talk about Obama's gay relationships."
For their part, HillBuzz thanked Breitbart for the shout-out and professed hope that they would one day be deemed worthy enough to contribute to one of Breitbart's "Big" websites -- presumably Big Obama Is A Gay Arab Foreigner, whenever it launches.

From world-renowned studies on heart disease, diabetes and hypertension to advanced treatment for cancer and a human physiology simulation program used by NASA, researchers at the University of Mississippi Medical Center are unraveling the diseases that affect Mississippians, creating new, high-tech jobs, and injecting tens of millions of dollars annually into the state's economy. UMMC aims to lead the way to discoveries that will raise the health level of Mississippians and, indeed, all mankind.
Effective teaching of current knowledge is an important mission of all universities, but original research enlarges the boundaries of human knowledge and drives innovation, and is a hallmark of leading universities. UMMC has many notable research achievements since its inception in 1955. In recent years the institution has undergone considerable expansion of research programs and physical facilities. In turn, extramural research funding doubled in less than five years. Much of this expansion can be attributed to increased investment in infrastructure and in the recruitment of additional distinguished research faculty.
Looking forward, UMMC is poised to engage cutting-edge technologies to study health and disease. As one of UMMC's three interlocked missions, research keeps our faculty and health-care providers at the cutting edges of their fields and prepares them to use biomedical discoveries to improve human health.

I Love seeing things like this relics of OUR Past coming alive again ...
Im hope they take a film crew. I would love to watch a show on this if it turns out to be fruitful.
Wonder how many Garrands are buried somewhere??? And ammo, field pieces.,, ect??? I'll bet there's tons,, literally. Bring your metal finder when ya go!!
There has to be a lot. The thing that makes this more interesting is the amount of aircraft suspected to be there and the fact that they are crated and hopfully have been protected from the elements. More information is coming out now that the crew is preparing to dig. They say that at some point a bore hole was drilled and a camera inserted into a crate. They reported that the areas filmed were in "good" condition and that they expected to have flyable aircraft. They also expect 15 to 40 aircraft in total from 3 or 4 different locations. They expect 10 to 20 from the first spot alone. I hope they're right, we'll see.
Oh Boy if pa was still alive ,,, he'd be creaming his jeans over this find !!!! You guys have seen pics of his B-25,, The Pacific Prowler. He was a huge antique plane nut!!! Me too,, I'm just to poor for my own squadron.
Still watching this with much antisipation. I was on you tube sometime ago and wasted a few hours watching vids of folks in europe pulling ww2 tanks out of bogs. they were completely buried and afterwards they would restore. Some were in such good shape that the paint was still intact.
I wonder how many firearms are still sealed in the Liberty Ships sunk by the Uboats off the Atlantic Coast in WWII?
44044 - If you go to YouTube and search on " tanks bog " ,like MtDew says, there's hours of interesting tank rescues on there. There was one that ame out with the winter camouflage still intact. Those folks work incredibly hard but the results are amazing.
Thank you, WWII was the war that all of
My fathers generation fought
I guess that I will never learn
Enough about it

In reviewing this year's TCP 100, I am struck by the stability of the players and how they rank. This resilience reminds me of a recent trip my wife and I took to Morocco and the fascinating city of Marrakesh. It's a modern metropolis that looks like it could be anywhere in the developed world.
While taking the obligatory tour the first morning we were there, the tour guide told a remarkable story of the country's monarchy. When the late king was on his deathbed in 1999, his son asked his dying father for advice on how to rule from the throne he was about to inherit. His father simply told the prince, "You have to survive."
Within hours, the prince was the new king. Weeks later, he brought modern change to the country, introducing positive steps in the areas of human and property rights. He created one of the most progressive democracies in the Middle East.
The new young king learned that to survive, he had to adapt to the political realities of the 21st century. Even in a third-world country, he knew his subjects had learned about the freedoms they expected if a benevolent monarchy was to prosper.
Likewise, producers also have to survive. This mantra sweeps the ready-mix concrete industry as it faces three of the toughest years in its history. From a peak of 458 million cubic yards produced in the U.S. in 2005, we have fallen precipitously to what could be a 290 million cubic yard year in 2009.
This loss of 170 million cubic yards translates into almost 30,000 parked ready-mix trucks. Unemployment numbers are difficult to calculate because of the indirect impact these losses represent to our industry's materials and equipment suppliers, as well as on the concrete contractors who buy and place our product. We suspect those numbers are in the hundreds of thousands of lost jobs since 2005.
Changes ahead
Yet the TCP 100 stands strong. But what will next year's list look like? I predict two major trends.
First, important international players such as Cemex and Heidelberg Cement will look very different in a couple of years. They may become smaller organizations, as they are forced to down-size to pay down the debt they incurred on their massive acquisitions.
We also expected to see a significant reshuffling of the deck of the independent regional and local players in dozens of large and mid-size markets. This didn't happen in 2008, but may be occurring this year.
Like the Moroccan king, producers of all sizes have learned to survive. They have worked through the challenges of this downturn and resized their cost structure, mothballed production capacity, painfully cut workforces, and negotiated with their banks to keep them from failing.
