Hot Rod will still control the ball when the Pistons are on offense
Maybe the first one, but in the second game without JMax, Hot Rod would have gone for 35 plus and we would still have won.
Chat is open! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Hot Rod waltzed through about 2 1/2 quarters. Played the off guard for about half or more of that when Walker Russell was running the point. The Pistons offense was no where to be found. Hot then turned it up about half way through the third quarter and got a lot more aggressive. This opened up the whole offense especially JMax and somewhat Afflalo. Hot Rod is one heck of a player. He is definitely like Wade in that both of them can take it to the rack almost at will and if they don't score get to the line and convert. Its great to see that both Hot Rod and AA can hit their free throws, just like C-Bill and Rip. Nice to also see JMax improving his free throw shooting. P.S. Nice game by Nick Young. I think he and AA thought it was Pac10 days.
It was good to see the D in the 4th quarter. They made the plays when it mattered and imposed their will on the game. I really begin to like the Afflalo-Stuckey-Maxiell trio with a bit of Mejia sprinkled in there. They all woke up in the 4th after sleepwalking for the 30 minutes and finished the game on the 33-9 run. Stuckey got more people involved in the end when the Pistons built a lead. When they were behind he preferred to create on his own for the most part. Samb played some good D, but did nothing on the offensive end. I don't know if Pistons will keep him in the States. Young looked like show off getting the points easily through the 1st 3 quarters, but was nowhere to be found in the 4th when Pistons D toughened up.
Throw in AJ instead of Mejia and you can get some idea of what this second unit could look like by the second half of the year.
84-70 Pistons win 3rd straight. Hopefully a live game report forthcoming from The Low will provide some good video highlights and a more indepth individual coverage of your future Piston stars. From what I observed on NBA TV, both teams started out sluggish with the Pistons only scoring 25 pts in the first half shooting a paltry 30%. The Wizards were no better shooting 34% themselves and scoring 27 pts. Stuckey had only 2 points at the half on 1-3 shooting. The Wiz picked up the pace in the 3rd qtr outscoring the Pistons 30 to 24 as their first round pick Nick Young put on a series of show-boating dunks and Mike Hall hit a three ball. Meanwhile Stuckey started to heat up and Afflolo continue to hit all of his FT. The fourth qtr was the money period for the Pistons as they outscored the Wizards 35-13 with Stuckey attacking the rim and JMax continuing to dominate the inside with a series of slam dunks. Highlights include a nice drop off past to a trailing Brahma by Stuckey on a fast break, a nice behid the back pass to JMAX by Sammy Mejia for a slam and a nice slash move to the hoop by Aflollo to show off his penetration skills. Like Roscoe said in chat, they looked lazy out there in the first 3 qtrs, but decided to turn it on in the 4th with some excellent D juts like their big brothers on the Pistons "A" team. The final talley scoring wise was Alflolo 21 with 15-17 from the FT line, Max with 21, and Stuckey with 17 points. Sammy was tied for team lead in rebounds with 8, but had a terrible shooting day. Still think Joe should think about keeping him on the squad and sending him to the D league for seasoning with Samb.
What is interesting is that when these young cats turn it on they look to be heads above the competition (at least in the 2 games I watched). I just don't like the "switch" mentality. They practically sleepwalked through the 1st 3 quarters.
no thats to much like the vets.... and once there the ones coming off the bench it better not be shown. or i will be happy with a quick hook. though to give them a built in excuse there playing a game/scrimage almost every day for games that don't mean anything (besides making the team)
That switch mentality is also the "Twitch" mentality. I think Flip will be fine with it.
Holy Kentucky Fried Chicken Joel Myers Laker play by play and Mike Smith Clipper analyst are doing the Phoenix and Philly game and they both just agreed that Hot Rod is the best rookie in the SL, except for Oden? and Durant??. I think that they had to mention those guys 1 and 2 even though they haven't done squat. They also both said that Hot Rod will definitely be a star in the NBA. Got to love it.
And we have Otis Thorpe to thank for it.
He was one heck of a baller!! We sure could use a rebounder like him. Maybe AJ?
So far he looks decent with no flash like some of the higher picks (excluding #1 and #2 who appear to be under to much pressure to produce). He looks just like his predecessor Joe, but still needs to find that open man heading the rim that will make him very affective since he is to be the PG off the bench when CB sits... I like the fact that he can penetrate when needed and get to the line. Just have to hope that he gets the calls like Boobie did...
I dont see a "flip the switch" mentality at all. The problem with the first 3 quarters was largely based on these things. 1) The overral selfishness of the scrubs who dont have contracts. They seemed to only pass the ball to eachother, over dribble, dribble themselves into traps and jack up shots. 2) Stuckey playing soley as facilitator. The whole team is much better when Stuckey takes it to the hoop it opens up the whole team defensively. Stuckey is best when he drives, with either scoring or dishing. Once the bench guys left and Stuckey started driving to the hoop that is when Detroit took over.
Very entertaining last 8 minutes. We outscored Washington by 24 points in that stretch. Jason Maxiell hit jumpers, a running hook, and lots of dunks. And continued to make his free throws. The announcers do not know what they are talking about as far as Maxiell goes in respect to his jumper. They kept saying Maxiell has increased his range. Not true at all. Maxiell is simply getting to shoot his best shot, the midranger. Fades, turnarounds, and just good old fashioned face ups. And free throws by the way, Jason never needed anything more than regular trips to the line. Stuckey did all his damage starting at about 4 mintues left in the 3rd quarter. Some midrangers, and getting to the rack and making his free throws. Between him and Afflalo, and why not throw in Maxiell, they were a combined 23 for 24 at the free throw line at one point late 4th. The game was won before any of them missed a free throw-saving one miss by Maxiell. Thats pretty impressive. Oh, and of course, I will mention that highlight dunk by Maxiell off a very sweet pass by Stuckey. That got a holler out of me. And I watched the 4th quarter a 2nd time, and hollered again when I saw it the 2nd time. Pretty awesome. The announcers likened that one to a James dunk. Hmmm, maybe they should get it right, sometimes James throws it down like Maxiell. Afflalo just slowly kept making free throws. He got to 13 for 13 before missing one. (And the game was won already anyway when he finally missed.) Afflalo finally hit an outside shots, I guess from all the confindence in hitting those free throws, plus he finished at the basket pretty darn niftily the one time. (And another slightly more mundane make on a drive.) He kind of slipped thru the defense sideways and hit the shot while coming down. Nick Young, the guy we could have picked, did look pretty good. Here is the kicker though. Afflalo I believe ended up outscoring Nick Young by 1 in this game, 21 to 20. Forget about even trying to compare Nick Yound to Stuckey-Nick Young could not even outplay Afflalo, who guared him into mediocraty down the stretch as the Pistons pulled away. Mejia did some good ball handling, got some rebounds. But more importantly, even though he did not score much, our team consistently was winning with him out there. Mejia ain't small. And he gets in your face when you shoot. Between him, Afflalo, and Stuckey, thats plenty of length, and good solid footwork, from our skill players on defense. And all three guards handle the ball well. I see one poster commented we would do better with Amir out there vs. Mejia. But don't bet on it. We are already doing pretty darn well with Mejia. Proffit, Hobbs, and Walker did ok among the other players on the team. Proffit hit a couple of 3's at one point, Hobbs had some blocks, and Walker ran the point well and scored some. Now for Samb. A banker from the right, about 15 feet I guess, was the highlight of his offensive game. Yet, again , we were playing winning basketball with him in the game. (We were down 10 when this unit all got back in with 8 to go in the game.) You see a lot of bigs doing quite well out there, and many of them are slated for playing time in the NBA this following season-and yet really none of them do any better than Samb as far as bothering shots around the basket. Ok, I will be rewatching this one a few more times. (I watched the first one 3 times so far too.) I will try to take time to write a good summary of what I see from the following players once I complete my review:Samb, JMAX, Mejia, Afflalo, and Stuckey.
I missed this game. I really hope they re-air it on NBA TV. It's been a long time since i've been this excited about our draft picks/young players. Maxiell is a beast Stuckey, who i was initally against, is impressive. Afflalo is great defensively Meija just seems to be always doing something productive, good glue guy. Samb's shot blocking ability is tantalizing. Although his stamina does need work. I agree that they are already playing like the Pistons (turn it on in the 4th). It's actually kinda disturbing.
A bit of a comment on the stamina of Samb. This is not an NBA game, but rather a summer league game, with a whole different schedule. In the NBA, the timeouts last 3 minutes. In summer league, just one minute. And halftime ain't too much longer than say, a nationally broadcast game timeout. These guys don't get much rest. All in all, I'd say Samb is doing ok.
I'm really enjoying this summer league, even though the only thoing I've actually seen is Sambs steal and save; and what The Low graciously shares with us. But the fact that we're playing a lineup that may actually be playing for us is awesome. If you replace Samb with Amir and Mejia with Tay we have a 2nd unit of: pg-Stuck / sg-Aff / sf-Tay / pf-Max / C-Amir Now I know Amir is a little light to play center, but in some situations it would be ideal. One thing that Nelly and GS have taught us is that you can succeed by thinking out the box. That would be a long, athletic and versatile lineup, with 3 solid shooters on the floor.
JMax doesn't get up anywhere close to as high as Lebron. I wouldn't compare their dunks at all.
Separate names with a comma.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have 2 intact females (4 yrs and 3 yrs), and recently they came into heat one right after the other. I also have an intact 12 month old male, that goes to his breeder's house for the duration of each heat. I live in an itty bitty house with these three.
The girls don't whine, or howl or carry on when they are in heat (like a cat does). Carly gets a little bit more affectionate, which is kind of nice since she is very independent. Sage gets a little pouty, and spends more time hanging out in her crate. The mess from the blood is minimal. I also don't have every male dog in the neighborhood on my doorstep.
I don't have any problems at all having intact girls. It's a little inconvenient sometimes, but it's certainly not a big issue.
You might want to read this thread.
|Thanks everyone for the replies! I figured I'll stick out a heat cycle and go from there. Seems like it varies from dog to dog so I hope Lola is an easy one
|Sorry, but cats are WAYYYY more 'pull your hair out' annoying when in heat in my experience. Since I just went through it a couple of years ago, it's rather fresh in my mind. I adopted a cat from a person that lost their job who said it was spayed. It wasn't. It yowled/howled and belly crawled around for days until I could get her in with a vet. It was a miserable few days. With my dog, I never even really noticed a difference in her.
I had no intention of spaying my now 4 yo however increasingly strong false pregnancies have me considering it. After looking at Dr. Becker's article, it reaffirms my idea to wait as long as I can - so probably this fall or winter she will be spayed.
I (a former advocate of spaying before first heat) am now convinced it is really not good for a developing dog to be spayed before maturity.
The OP might take heart in that my first intended intact female did not have her first heat until she was 15 months. She does bleed for the full three weeks but she handles my improvised piddle pants with a human pad (usually just 1/2) quite well. The three weeks of discharge also helps keep me aware of her cycle. No ungentlemanly callers of the doggy persuasion yet (all her suitors have been neutered). Hmmm, maybe that's been a warning to other guys around???

|I don't plan on spaying Carma anytime in the near future and she has only been through one heat cycle so far at 10 month sold. I hardly noticed a difference in her at all when she went into heat, other than the loss of hair when she blew her coat. She acted exactly the same behavior wise, and my males were much more annoying than her the entire time. I used little panties in the house, and just made sure she was supervised outside and that was it. It was really simple for us, though it helps that she was naturally a very tidy little girl. I have heard of some females who bled everywhere and refused to wear the diapers, so I could imagine that being annoying and pretty disgusting. We didn't have that experience though

Every pet owner has to do their own due diligence.. Not starting a fight, to prove I am right, as I am wrong all the time, but I learned from the best 25 years ago and nothing has changed in my mind except getting a rocking chair..
By Dr. Becker
Whenever I discuss scientific evidence related to the health risks of spaying and neutering here at Mercola Healthy Pets or on my Facebook page, I receive a lot of negative feedback from people who are absolutely certain I'm encouraging pet overpopulation and irresponsible pet ownership. So, I decided to make a video to explain to those who are standing in judgment why nothing could be further from the truth.I Was Once a Huge Advocate of Spaying or Neutering Every Dog at an Early Age
I started volunteering at an animal shelter when I was 13 years old. I started working there when I was 14. I cleaned cages. By the time I was 17, I had become certified as a euthanasia technician by the Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine. The ten years I spent working at a kill shelter and the exposure to certain clients and cases in my veterinary practice over the years have taught me more than I ever wanted to know or could share in this video about abused, neglected, and unwanted pets.Five Years into Private Practice, Many of My Canine Patients Began to Develop Endocrine Imbalances and Related Diseases
About five years after my practice opened, many of my patients started to develop endocrine issues. This was obviously very concerning to me, as these animals were not over-vaccinated. They were all eating biologically appropriate, fresh food diets.In a Flash of Recognition, I Knew My Insistence on Desexing All My Patients at a Young Age Had Created Serious Health Problems for Many of Them
At this point, I became overwhelmed with guilt. For many years, I insisted my clients follow my advice to spay or neuter their pets at or before six months of age. It hit me like a lightning bolt that I was making this suggestion not based on what was physiologically best for my patients, but rather what I felt was morally best for their owners.My Views on Sterilization of Shelter Pets
The subject of spay/neuter is a huge one, and if I were to attempt to cover every aspect of it, this video would be three hours long. Suffice it to say that until we get our nation's shelter systems revamped, animals will continue to be spayed as juveniles. For now, that's that. We won't change anything with this video. Are we pushing for shelter vets to learn ovary-sparing techniques that allow for sterilization without sex hormone obliteration? Yes. But for now, that isn't happening.Why I Believe Sterilization, Not Desexing, Is the Better Option
As a proactive veterinarian, I have dedicated my life to keeping animals well. I have learned and continue to learn the best ways to help pets stay healthy and the reasons disease occurs. I am also a holistically oriented vet, which means I view animals as a whole – not just a collection of body parts or symptoms.Health Issues Linked to Spaying and Neutering Dogs
Before I discuss some of the health issues now associated with desexing dogs, first let me point out that there are two medical conditions that actually can be totally eliminated by desexing: benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH (enlarged prostate), and pyometra (a disease of the uterus). However, a wealth of information is mounting that preserving innate sex hormones, especially in the first years of life, may be beneficial to pets, whereas the risk of pyometra or BPH in an animal's first year of life is incredibly low.Options to Traditional Spaying and Neutering
Veterinarians in the U.S. and Canada are trained only to spay and neuter, which is unfortunate since there are less invasive alternatives, such as tubal ligation, hysterectomy, and vasectomy. These techniques are quick and easy and certainly effective. In fact, commonly, once the technique is mastered, they're faster, less risky and potentially less costly than a full spay or neuter.Responsible Ownership of an Intact Female Dog
First of all, you should know that not everyone is cut out to be the owner of an intact male or female dog. Part of the popularity of full spays and neuters vs. other means of sterilization is that it's just plain convenient for pet owners. Not only do spays and neuters render the animal unable to reproduce, but they also remove all of the messiness of female heat cycles and most of the pet's key mating behaviors for both sexes.Responsible Ownership of an Intact Male Dog
Intact males should receive positive reinforcement behavior training to stop urine marking in the house as well as any humping behavior that may occur.What About My Cat?
Luckily, thus far, research has shown that our feline companions don't have the same negative long-term physiologic consequences associated with desexing that plague our canine population. We may identify potential links in the future, but thus far, it appears our canine companions are more negatively affected by spaying or neutering.

England manager Hope Powell has called up six members of the Arsenal Ladies squad for this month's A International against France on October 20.
Defenders Steph Houghton and Alex Scott have been selected, along with winger Rachel Yankey and central midfielder Jordan Nobbs, who will be hoping to win her first cap for the national side.
Elsewhere, there are recalls for Ellen White and Kelly Smith, who missed last month's European Championship qualifier against Croatia through suspension and injury respectively.
France, who knocked England out of the 2011 World Cup and finished fourth at this summer's Olympic Games, will provide stiff opposition as Powell prepares her squad for next year's European Championship in Sweden.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Last week I was a guest at IBM's Smarter Commerce event, mainly to see what it has been doing with Emptoris, which it acquired seven months ago. You may recall that I blogged certain misgivings when IBM announced the takeover (IBM's Acquisition Of Emptoris Further Reduces IT Sourcing Professionals' Options), and, though I still have concerns, I'm very encouraged by what I saw at the event:
· Firstly, there was still a good focus on sourcing and procurement in the Empower event-within-an-event. IBM has preserved Empower's best quality (and that of Ariba Live and Zycus Horizon, btw), which is that there is always lots of trends and best practices content, and not too much product plugging. Most of the event was aimed at marketing, selling, and servicing, but there was plenty for sourcing attendees too. For example, there were keynotes from the CPOs of AB InBev, Conoco Philips, and IBM itself about their priorities and how they are addressing them.
· IBM leaders, including Craig Hayman, General Manager Industry Solutions, gave a clear and credible vision of Smarter Commerce. Hayman portrayed his Buy, Market, Sell, and Service quadrants as discrete offerings sharing common principles and technology, rather than an engineered stack that only works properly if you buy it all — best-of-breed complements to ERP, not a rival suite.

Thread: Player collusion in Seattle?
Re: Player collusion in Seattle?
Re: Player collusion in Seattle?
What's "weird" about this year, and about future years until there's a significant increase in the cap, is all of those excessive contracts from previous years (e.g. $12 million for Jared Allen) hitting the fat part of their salary curve, and teams leaning on players to renegotiate or be cut; and a cut hits the team with a dead money albatross, further reducing what they can spend on new contracts (just ask Elway).
I am shocked, shocked to hear that agents are talking about the possibility that the owners are colluding."This space for rent" - Roger Goodell
Re: Player collusion in Seattle?
The only players making $ are on offense, and almost exclusively QB and WR. And the guys that protect the QB. Even running backs are worthless. They are no longer drafted much in rd 1 and the veterans are signing rock bottom deals. Passing league, because passing = ratings = money. All other positions getting screwed. QBs and WRs get the $, rookies on scale, veteran's dumpster diving.
The owners just railroaded the players for 10 years.

Re: Player collusion in Seattle?
Mike Wallace signed a big dollar deal and he was not a top 5 wr. 13m per for wallace is big. Ellerbe who has barely been able to stay on the field signed for 5 yr 35m.
Teams are starting to mimic the better teams that show constraint in free agency. They are not signing veterans to long term big dollar deals because of the future cap implications.
With the current agreement their is no way that collusion can take place amongst the owners as they have a floor. As long as they are above the floor they are meeting the requirements of the collective bargaining agreement. Agents may not like that the owners are being more responsible in how they allocate their cap but it is not collusion. The agents complaining are probably the ones representing the big name vets that are not getting big dollar contracts.
The NFLPA was right that the owners colluded during the uncapped year. They colluded to keep payrolls low so that it would be advantageous in the negotiations. Part of the agreement was that the NFLPA would sign off on right to sue the NFL over collusion which is why their case was tossed out.
Just because they are not happy with how the teams are spending to the requirement does not make it collusion. This sounds like sour grapes from the agents. They should direct their attacks at De Smith who negotiated a horrendous deal. Are you aware that the cap is lower or flat to where it was prior to the new agreement?
Re: Player collusion in Seattle?
Because it's a young man's game. If you aren't in or coming off a rookie contract, you are old. If you are old, there aren't premium dollars available.
But that said, Ed Reed got PREMIUM dollars for who he is and where he is in his career. Kruger and Ellerbe BOTH prove that LBers are still getting overpaid. Ellerbe got a HEFTY raise over what Tlloch, Lofton and any of the other ILBers got last year, why? Supply and demand. Last year there was a TON of ILBers available, so they went cheap. This year, he was the only young, promising guy. Guess what position is FLOODED this year, PASSRUSHER. Kruger got the premium deal becuase he was youngest, and the rest are getting lowballed comparatively.
Supply and Demand.
Re: Player collusion in Seattle?
Funny how when it comes to paying QB and WR they aren't so worried about spending. Yet DE and CBs can't seem to get the same $$ they used to because money is tight under the cap.
They are overvaluing the QB and WR spots because they are shifting the game to more points aka fantasy football.
Again if someone else has a better reason for why defensive players are no longer seeing the $ they used too please offer it up.
Meanwhile the Cowboys just extended a veteran 32 year old QB for $108M but a 27 year old LB (Dan Connor) making like $3M gets asked to take a paycut and is eventually cut because "money is tight". Riiiight.....

You keep bouncing back and forth between "the sellers are colluding" and "the league is emphasizing offense". At this point, I'm not even sure what your point is."This space for rent" - Roger Goodell

I can agree with you there... I received mine last week or the week before...
Have you chased your wife around in the dark yet wearing it in interesting locations?
Wait, that wasn't meant to be said out loud LOL.
Oh, yeah! Shackman's light are the best!
CHECK PLEASE! lol :lolQuote:

I don't go through too many of the threads here, but was surprised (pleasantly) to see a post about these. Thanks for the great review.
And honestly, my favorite part of supplying these lights ... is hearing stories like Overkill's. He's not the first to admit (to me anyway) to chasing a loved one around the house with them. ;)
Thanks guys,
hey , pm me details about a set for my armor please.
HMMM!!! Well, nothing new to add, except that I agree these are definately a top notch set of lights!!! Like others have said- "worth every cent" !!!They can turn good suit into an awesome suit!!!
Just wanted to say another 'thanks'. :) And thanks to all those that have bought them over the past couple of years. Interest has definitely died down, but such is the case with any product. But it gave me good incentive to pursue other projects (Vader, R2, BTTF) ... wouldn't have happened without these guys' support. :)Quote:

What R2 parts are you doing man? :D
I'm also doing an R2 unit and just wondering.
Shackman pm me about your chest display. Very interested.
Shackman's light make the suit!! I'll love them, well worth it..
Thanks for the kind words Lynn.
All PMs returned. :)
are these the lights i saw a schematic on in one of the costuming sights.... if so i have a couple of questions on the shematic... someone PM me if they are trying to scratch make these
If you can give me a link to the site you're talking about, I'll tell you if they are the same or not. :)
And if you ARE trying to make them based on my plans, feel free to shoot any questions my way. I've walked one other person through the process. I've heard of a few people trying to make them, but only know of two (for sure) that have completed it. Again, I'd be glad to help if possible ... that's why I posted the schematics. :)
I've got to post a "me too" here. Allan's lights do really make the Fett suit take another step into a realistic Mandalore outfit, not just a costume.
I heartily reccomend a set of Allan's lights.
Thanks for the unpaid endorsement. ;) :)
I have these toooooo! Believe it or not, this was the SECOND purchase I made for my Fett suit, just after my Cheng boots when that run was available. I HAD to get the Shack Lights because it becomes the centerpiece of the Fett outfit. I think it makes people wonder just how operational your suit really is. Some people are like...hmm...some freaky lookin lights goin' off in the chest, I just hope nothin' in that gauntlet works. They see the hoses and for all they know you have some propane in the jet pack somewhere and a working torch tip gauntlet that can roast them. OK, so this was a total fantasy post and I digress. IT COULD HAPPEN! :angry
Did you ever make a rangefinder light kit?
Thanks for the kind words, Josh ... even if it was over-the-top. ;)
As far as the range finder circuit, no. I designed one at a members request, but before I actually announced they were ready, Jim beat me to the punch with one incorporating the servo controller and everything. His was an awesome circuit (as is his other work), so there was no point in doing mine. Aside from that, I believe someone else here recently started selling range finder lights (just the light).
On that note, if there's anyone looking to get a set of chest lights, you may want to move on it soon. Not that I'm trying to push a sale, but I'm DYING to get back to work SOON. Unemployment sucks pretty hard. So even if it's nothing more than a $7/hr job, and working all the hours I can get, I've gotta find something. And if that happens, my time will be short, so the building process will be dragged out quite a bit. Just thought I'd give a heads-up while I still have a little free time. :)
Thanks again to everyone for their reviews!
Like everyone who had bought Shackman's chest light display before just said...These are the lights to get, and makes the costume stand out from the rest, so as Bobo's RF lights and BKBT's Jet Pack lighted beacon.
An example of this was last halloween during a costume contest inside a club, which everyone first impression was the chest display and looking at it, to then asking me questions like "what that means?" and "where did you get that?", just saying that "I made them" or got them online, cause I was skeptical about giving personal info outside this forum.
Anyways, those three items, plus the boots, makes the costume totally and impressive to the public, specially during the night. Thanks Shackman!
Robert :fettrotj
I cannot....EVER....stress how unbelievably awesome these lights are. You could have a whole suit of wet, soggy paper mache', and nobody would give a rat's ass.
Here's TD-9265 from last Halloween..... he can't take his eyes off me, er, them....."You are getting sleepy...very sleepy...."
shackman...please let us know when you may have another run of your lights.i would love to have a set for halloween 04.
Hi, I'm new to the forum...but I've been a visitor for some time. All of the work you folks have done on your costumes are breath taking to say the least. I'm ordering my own suit through RA, should be ready in a few months. I'm really interested in getting the Shackman Lights, can someone send me a message with the price for this awesome addition to one's costume and ordering information? Thanks!
OK, first off, thanks to everyone who has posted since Robert (I wasn't ignoring ya, just didn't want to make "thank you" posts for each individual post). ;) Y'all's happiness with the end-product is what it's all about. Since I don't have a Fett suit of my own, I take pride in hearing what others desribe as having the 'ultimate' suit, and knowing that I had a part in it.
Second, there aren't any 'runs' per se on these lights. I designed them over 2 years ago, and have been selling them on an ongoing basis. I announced, way back when, that I'd do these as long as there was a demand for them. And while demand has died down a bit, it hasn't gone away completely. I have just a few boards on-hand, and will be going back to work soon ... so my time will be a bit more limited. However, for anyone needing to save up for a while, I can always order more boards (I just have to wait for a few committed orders to justify the expense of having them etched) and work on them in my free time. So as I've said before, I'm not out to push sales. If/when you're ready to order a set, feel free to get in touch with me and we'll get you hooked-up.
Finally, Fosterkeri, welcome aboard ... or Howdy! as we'd say around here (down south). ;) You can get light info and order directly through me, or ... since you're ordering other parts of your suit through RA, you can get them from him as well. The price is the same either way (to avoid competition), and you get the same thing, since I'm RA's supplier for the lights.
Shackman...thanks for the heads up...I'll either go through him or I'll let you know if I just go through you instead. Thanks again for replying so quickly. Glad I could join such a prestigious group of people who love Fett as much as I do.
Greetings Fetts,
I got my ShackMan's lights today. I bought a vest from a guy who already had a non-movie accurate chest display built into it. How do I go about installing ShackMan's display properly? Has anyone built some sort of box to keep the electronics safe before permanently installing it? Any and all info would be most appreciated. Thanks! :D

The Bishop of Rochester created a minor outrage among gays and lesbians when he insisted that "traditional teaching" of the Bible must be upheld and this means that those with unusual attitudes toward sex just don't belong in Christianity. His comment to homosexuals was "we want them to repent and be changed." The good bishop, Michael Nazir-Ali, undoubtedly represents all that is good and worthy in the Christians religion and his direct line to God ensures he knows what the Big Guy up in the sky wants in terms of sexual behaviors. Sharon Ferguson of the Lesbian and Gay christian Movement believes his comments endanger the future of the Church of England.
Perhaps, both Ms. Ferguson and the good Bishop of Rochester miss a point. He calls upon gays and lesbians to repent, but for some reason he does not call upon those who torture prisoners to repent, he does not call on those who engage in hate campaigns against Muslims to repent, he does not call on bankers and stock brokers who robbed billions from ordinary people to repent.
I just wonder, is God more interested in gays repenting or is more interested in those who kill and torture to repent? I'm just asking because I lack phone connection to the Big Guy in the sky.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Diversity in the Boardroom: A Content Analysis of Corporate Proxy Disclosures
Aaron Dhir, Associate Professor, Osgoode Hall Law School of
York University
Under recent revisions to U.S. securities law, publicly-traded firms are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to report on whether they consider diversity in their board nomination process. Using qualitative–quantitative content analysis, Dhir examines the S & P 100's disclosures under the first two years of the new SEC rule. He explores how firms conceptualize and articulate their understanding of "diversity", a term left undefined by the SEC (e.g. what meanings, principles, values, modes of discourse etc. emerge from the narrative data)? Dhir also empirically map particular thematic occurrences (e.g. what percentage of firms define diversity with reference to socio-demographic characteristics, such as gender and race?) Finally, he considers the regulatory reaction (i.e. how has the SEC responded to the corporate disclosures and what do its observations reveal about its approach to diversity and the rule's application)?
Lunch will be provided. An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Denver • Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy resigned Sunday, stepping down after the team set a franchise record for losses.
The Rockies said a search for Tracy's replacement would begin immediately but they have no time frame for making a hire. Colorado finished last in the NL West this year while going 64-98.
Tracy was promoted from bench coach to manager in May 2009. He was voted the NL Manager of the Year that season after guiding Colorado into the playoffs.
The Rockies went 294-308 under Tracy.
"I was surprised," Bill Geivett, the team's director of major league operations, told The Associated Press. "You know, Jim and I go back a long time. We worked together for three different clubs.
"Basically, Tracy called me and told me his intentions and we talked about a lot of different things, but he had already made up his mind," said Geivett, who also worked with Tracy in Montreal and Los Angeles.
Energized by the young players and the challenge of fixing things, Tracy had said repeatedly the last several weeks that he wanted to fulfill the final year on his contract in 2013. But he changed his mind after meeting with Geivett for several hours on Friday and then mulling those discussions over the weekend.
Asked why Tracy resigned, Geivett said: "I don't think there was any one thing in particular that seemed to stand out, but you'd have to ask him that."
Tracy didn't return phone calls and texts from the AP.
Geivett said he wanted Tracy to return next season.
"I mean, that's how I started our meeting on Friday, that he was the manager of the club," Geivett said. "Like I said, it was surprising."
Geivett, however, didn't try to change Tracy's mind.
"His decision was made when he called me and I respected that," Geivett said.
Geivett said he had no timetable for hiring a new manager: "All the focus has been on Jim Tracy the last few days here and I just got the call today, so we'll start to formulate a plan."
The Rockies will be the fourth team to change managers this year. Boston fired Bobby Valentine, Cleveland dismissed Manny Acta and Houston let go Brad Mills.
Things changed for Tracy on Aug. 1 when Geivett, the assistant general manager, was given an office in the clubhouse and began focusing on roster management, particularly as it related to the pitchers, and evaluating the coaching staff and the rest of the players.
Tracy's responsibilities were narrowed to game management and meeting with the media.
Geivett said that structure will remain in place next season.
In addition to altering their front office, with general manager Dan O'Dowd focusing his attention on the minor leagues and player development, the Rockies last summer adopted a radical four-man rotation and a 75-pitch limit with several designated piggyback relievers, an experiment that lasted two months.
Geivett said the Rockies will return to a traditional five-man rotation next season.
with pitch limits determined on a case-by-case basis, "although I don't think we'll ever go back to the days of 120 pitches."

I was just verifying how much people in the United States would LOVE it if WindySoft created Infinity Online for the USA and European version
This poll is going to ask
"Do you think Infinity will become popular if it was made for USA and European BOTH"
I wanted to ask USA people here
if they would like it as well.
Maybe a worker for Windysoft may see this poll and decide to put it up in US!
So tell me your oppinion!

Where Sydney began, this area contains more historical buildings than anywhere else in the city. Wander the cobblestone lanes and discover a haven of specialty stores, galleries and boutiques offering everything from handmade candles to Aboriginal artefacts. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Observatory Hill tower above, as does the range of 5 star hotels lining the beautiful waters edge. Sit and relax in a park and enjoy the city's best harbour views.
Often overlooked as Sydney's modern convention and exhibition heartland, yet Darling Harbour is home to many other popular attractions including the Australian National Maritime museum, Sydney Aquarium, the Chinese garden and Imax theatre. It is also fast becoming the city's hottest nightspot, offering a choice of popular restaurants and the coolest bars. It is close to Sydney's only casino, Star City.
One of the best known tourist attractions in Sydney (after the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House of course). Kings Cross is ten minutes from the city in light traffic and is Sydney's main nightspot. Casting off the areas past reputation, trendy cafes and modern bars are common here too. Stay in Potts Point and sample a wide array of menus, covering every cuisine and catering to every taste.
Stretching from the city along the southern foreshore of Sydney Harbour to North Head, the Eastern Suburbs include the neighbourhoods of Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and Paddington. Call at trendy Double Bay and enjoy the views of Sydney Harbour on the way to Watson Bay. Visit famous Bondi Beach, where the Eastern Suburbs meet the Southern Beaches.

|Autocross Racing The place to discuss information about autocross stats, tips and events. Track sanctioned events only.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|like i said, i only down shift when i'm breaking hard and i know i'm gonna come out slowly, if i'm still in the power band i'll keep it in 2nd
^^I do downshift, but only about 1 course or so a year, and I usually end up being faster by just finding more speed through the corner to stay close enough to the powerband. It'd be a very odd course that's fast enough to get into 2nd, so slow through the corner that it requires 1st, and so fast out that staying in 2nd would totally screw you.
If you're approaching the corner in 2nd, you're going fast enough to get any sort of rotation that you could want, which means that you should be able to get through the corner with enough momentum to stay at least pretty close to your power band. Not to mention that even if you do nail the shift, about the fastest you can do it and get back on the power is half a second. 5 tenths is pretty significant in the AutoX world, and just as often as not where I have tried it I end up hurrying it, missing the shift, and screwing the whole run.
With only 4-6 runs for an average race, it's something to try at the end if you simply can't find any way to get through that section fast enough, but on a whole it'll penalise you far more often.
|well i'm very used to down shifting when aproaching a corner while braking, when i'm trying to pull out of a corner at 15 MPH in 2nd gear i'm lugging like a cadilac diesel, its counter productive for me to not down shift, especially since in most of the auto-x courses they make here (i've been on 3) they make one REALLY tight turn that i'm having to take very slowly before a whole other set of cones, and staying in 2nd gear has lost me time everytime i don't shift. My novice instructor told me not to shift in to the corner and leave it in 2nd, i had so little power i lost 2 seconds from my old time. If the car had more torque or was geared different this would not be an issue, but beond the down shift in the corner i only shift when the car cannot gain any more speed in the current gear
^^I highly disagree. Not to mention that's just another thing to think about and to more than likely mess up. We have relatively low speed autocrosses here, and running a course switching back between first and second is a waste of time. Like Carrera said, there is rarely a case where you'll ever need to go back to first gear, especially in the shorter geared non-SVT Foci (assuming you're driving a manual).
Assuming you have little competitive driving background, your driving skills are going to be below the car's abilities. There's really nothing the Focus can't do for you at this point that you can fully exploit from the car's capabilities. It's not a jab at you - just every case I have seen when it comes to a new driver, including myself.
Like everyone said, walk the course. It's easy to get confused your first time out with the sea of cones if you're unfamiliar with what they mean. Take it slowly going out there. You're not going to impress anyone or learn anything by trying to find and exceed the limits of your vehicle or your abilities on your first run (or first few runs). Simply try to look ahead, try to be smooth. I can't really add more to what's been said. You're going to have a blast no matter what!
|^ if you're breaking hard enough and you know you'l come out of the corner at a low speed downshift while you're breaking that way you're in the right gear for exiting. i'm a little shift happy but thats only because i love to down shift before coming out of the corner. I'd say to not upshift unless you hit the rev limiter (this is what i do, because when you're there there's no more acceleration to be had, and you'll either stop accelerating or waste time on the upshift, and the upshift is only worth it if you can't make the car go any faster
Here's what I make the rookies repeat 10 times when I do the "Novice Walk" with them in the morning.
Look, then Brake, then Turn, then Accelerate. Sounds kinda silly and obvious, huh? But you'd be surprised when you get out there, look up late as you come to a gate, then try to brake and turn in at full speed because only then did you see that you are offline. And then you'll try to gas it to make up time, only to make it worse....
There's not a whole lot that's really Focus-specific. You'll be in either 1st gear or 2nd gear the whole time, and you should only really shift ONCE. (You'll waste more time shifting than you make up by being in a different gear about 99% of the time) Listen to the car, because it communicates well. Don't be afraid of the rev-limiter.
Walk the course, and try to walk the course with a more experianced driver preferably someone who also drives a front wheel drive car.
And don't worry about it too much, just go and have fun.
Austin? Heck, you probably know Andy Hollis. Ask him.:)
|Here is a top ten list from an Evolution Autocross school instructor (and multiple National Solo II Champion). Enjoy!

I love Spanish wines, and this one did not disappoint me! Rich and full-bodied, this wine has a nose that draws you in. And when you taste, your mouth is filled with deep dark fruits, coffee, and chocoloate. Mature, rich tannins. Great finish that lingers. Wine Advocate's recommendation to drink between 2010 to 2018 is right on. For those that like their wines big and bold, this one's for you!
Wine Information:
50% Monastrell, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Tempranillo, aged for 12 months in new French and American oak
Spain : Jumilla
Producer: Finca Luzon
Alcohol: 14.5%
Garnet-purple, violet rim. Aromas of mature fruits, blackberry, plum, hints of vanilla, roasted coffee, balsamic. Ample, mineral notes, mature tannins, sweetness, round and polished, long finish.

The Canisius softball team started its Spring Break trip in California with a pair of losses on Friday, falling to Cal State Fullerton 7-2, before losing to Texas Tech by the score of 10-5 in the nightcap of the Titan Classic in Fullerton, Calif.. The Golden Griffins have now dropped three straight and sit at 3-10 on the year.
In the first game, the host Fullerton Titans (16-10) jumped out to an early 5-0 lead after two innings and never looked back. Canisius scored twice in the top of the third with two outs on RBI-singles from Alexis Roman and Robin Kennery. Fullerton answered with two more runs in its half of the third to regain its five-run cushion.
Canisius had four hits in the loss, with freshman Jessica Berzins collecting two of those. Fullerton's Monique Wesley went the distance in the circle for the Titans to earn the win. She allowed two runs on four hits while striking out five. Canisius senior Jen Consaul took the loss for the Blue and Gold after she allowed seven runs, five earned, on 12 hits while fanning two and walking none.
In the second game of the day against Texas Tech, the Red raiders scored seven times in the game's first three innings, highlighted by a four-spot in the bottom half of the third, en route to the 10-5 victory. The win improved Texas Tech to 20-6 on the year. Kennery drove in two runs for the Griffs and freshman Lindsay Silfer had two hits, including a double. Canisius freshman Sarah Andrews took the loss for the Griffs after she allowed eight runs on eight hits while striking out two and walking two. Jenn Solis allowed two runs on three hits in 3.1 innings of relief.Canisius will return to action Saturday with a pair of games in the Titan Classic. The team will play DePaul at 3 p.m., before taking on UNLV at 5:30 p.m

text: I just got to shoot that gun today. I really liked it. I am now considering purchasing a XD9 instead of the Glock I had originally intended to get. I loved the trigger on the XD, really good soghts as well. The recoil felt just about the same as a 9mm to me. Louder and more gunblast to it, but not really any more recoil. I'm sure you'll like it once you shoot it.

What's the deal with Honda and noise levels, do they not put any sound insulation in their cars or something?
Seems like a problem since the beginning of time.
Congrats to Buick, the Verano has been getting great reviews!
MT Comparison - 2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX
First Place: Buick Verano Turbo
If you insist the Verano is a fancy Cruze, then it's a Cruze that is using its gym membership, taking dance lessons, and is ready for bigger things in life. It's a soft-spoken, well-executed four-door for the true adult.
Second Place: Acura ILX 2.4
Identity crisis? It's a hoot to drive, thanks in large part to its Civic Si roots. Should fare well with the Honda faithful, but how many ordinary-Joe buyers are looking for a noisy luxury car you have to rev up to really enjoy?

Hi all!
I wanted to share a special new piece I had the opportunity to add to my helmet collection this past week.
It's the original Grant McCune master. Not much more I can say about this helmet than has already been
written by Art in these two articles:
Boba Fett Costume Resource - The Grant McCune Boba Fett Helmet
Boba Fett Costume Resource - First Sons Boba Fett Preproduction #2 Helmet Progeny
If helmet history interests you, I highly recommend reading those 2 pages!
On to some pics.
My original intent in building my Fett collection was to have one representation of each stage of Boba Fett's
development, from pre-production, through the 2 screen used helmets. I also wanted to have each helmet
be a different "make." So far, I am on track, with only a ROTJ helmet left to acquire and paint.
Here's an overall shot of my collection.
To view the helmets a little closer, here are a couple of additional shots.
This group shows the earliest helmets (in the production timeline). At bottom is Skygunbro's
McQuarrie concept version 1. I built this in a weathered state. Immediately above it is another
Skygunbro McQuarrie helmet--the version 2. This one was finished pristine. To its left is my
Supertrooper (one version anyway), which is built from an MSH2.
The picture below starts getting into the more familiar faces of Boba. Going from bottom right, we have the
Pre-Pro version 1 "Eyes" helmet. This was built from a Bobamaker dentless kit. On its left is my Pre-Pro version 3,
which is a TerminalFettler fiberglass kit. Above the "Eyes" helmet is my GMH done as Pre-Pro 2. Top left is my
hero ESB helmet, painted up on a beautiful FPH.
Below, we have the ESB and PP2 again, with the original GMH master on top. It resides in a nice acrylic cube case that
I bought specifically to protect and display it.
So that's my collection! Hopefully later this year I'll pick up a new helmet to paint as ROTJ and then. . . well, I'm not sure
exactly what will happen then! Maybe I'll just throw them all out and start over.
More pics of the GMH master in the next post!

I've been browsing the web for reviews of cameras in my price range and I've come across this site which I must say is truly excellent. I really like the detail provided, especially the wide range of sample photos. However, I think it might be a good idea to standardize on the settings used when taking the sample photos.
For example, compare the images take in the Nikon D60 and the Sony A200 review. These two reviews are done by the same reviewer and some of the shots are of the same subject. When I compared the photos taken by the two cameras, I was dismayed at the quality of the A200's photos. The A200's pictures appear more noisy than the D60's. This was disappointing for me as I was leaning more towards purchasing an A200 as the deals on offer are better than the deals for the D60. But if the difference in photo quality is so great, there was no way I was going to buy an A200.
Then I checked the settings used. The A200 uses ISO800 while the D60 uses ISO400. That would explain the discrepancies! And I noticed in the review that the reviewer notes that noise starts to appear in the A200 at ISO 800 and above, and that would explain why the A200 produces much noisier photos compared to the D60.
While this is a minor detail, it is a very important one as it dramatically affects the buying decision. How can a potential buyer make a proper comparison between cameras when they use drastically different settings? I'm currently deciding between a Sony A200, Nikon D60 and a Canon EOS400D. The details in the reviews are great! Sadly, the sample images are not really that useful as the A200 uses ISO 800, the D60 uses ISO 400 and the EOS400 uses ISO 1600 (!!). It's small wonder then that the D60 trumps all others in image quality.
Please standardize the settings used when reviewing cameras. I understand that different photographers have different tastes, but for the purpose of a review I think it's best to have a set of settings which are used for all cameras. That makes it possible to do an apples to apples comparison of the different cameras.

CNN's Romans called George H.W. Bush "judicious with pardons," omitted Iran-Contra controversy
On the July 3 edition [1] of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, discussing President George W. Bush's decision to commute former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's 30-month prison term, CNN correspondent Christine Romans asserted that President George H.W. Bush "was judicious with pardons" because he granted "only 74." Romans compared the elder Bush to President Clinton, who "pardoned 396 criminals, most famously fugitive financier Marc Rich and his own brother." Romans continued: "President [George W.] Bush is being assailed by Democrats for commutation of Libby's sentence just as Clinton was criticized by conservatives for his pardon of Marc Rich." However, in contrasting George H.W. Bush's "judicious" exercise of executive clemency with Clinton and the current President Bush, Romans ignored that the elder Bush was also "criticized" and "assailed" for his decision to pardon six Reagan administration officials who were involved in the Iran-Contra scandal, some of whom might have given testimony concerning Bush's own role in that operation.
On December 24, 1992, President Bush pardoned [2] former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, former assistant secretary for inter-American affairs Elliott Abrams, former national security adviser Robert McFarlane, and former CIA employees Duane Clarridge, Alan Fiers, and Clair George "for their conduct related to the Iran-Contra affair." According to "Final Report of the Independent Counsel for Iran/Contra Matters [3]":
The Iran/contra affair concerned two secret Reagan Administration policies whose operations were coordinated by National Security Council staff. The Iran operation involved efforts in 1985 and 1986 to obtain the release of Americans held hostage in the Middle East through the sale of U.S. weapons to Iran, despite an embargo on such sales. The contra operations from 1984 through most of 1986 involved the secret governmental support of contra military and paramilitary activities in Nicaragua, despite congressional prohibition of this support.
On December 25, 1992, The New York Times reported that at the time he was pardoned, Weinberger "was scheduled to stand trial on Jan. 5 on charges that he lied to Congress about his knowledge of the arms sales to Iran and efforts by other countries to help underwrite the Nicaraguan rebels." The report continued: "[The] case was expected to focus on Mr. Weinberger's private notes that contain references to Mr. Bush's endorsement of the secret shipments to Iran." The Times also reported: "[N]ot since President Gerald R. Ford granted clemency to former President Richard M. Nixon for possible crimes in Watergate has a Presidential pardon so pointedly raised the issue of whether the President was trying to shield officials for political purposes."
A majority of Americans opposed [4] President Bush's decision to "issue a pardon so that Caspar Weinberger cannot be prosecuted for his role in the Iran-Contra affair," both before and after he did so. According to a November 10-11, 1992, Gallup Poll, 27 percent of respondents said that President Bush should pardon Weinberger, while 59 percent said that he should not. According to a December 28, 1992, Gallup Poll, 27 percent of respondents approved of Bush's decision to pardon Weinberger, while 54 percent disapproved.
From the July 3 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:
ROMANS: Bush has pardoned at least 10 convicted drug offenders, in addition to counterfeiters, embezzlers, tax evaders, and moonshiners. President Clinton pardoned 396 criminals, most famously fugitive financier Marc Rich and his own brother. This president's father was judicious with pardons, only 74, but [Ronald] Reagan pardoned 393. Among the 382 Ford pardoned, one was for his predecessor, Richard Nixon.
President Bush is being assailed by Democrats for commutation of Libby's sentence just as Clinton was criticized by conservatives for his pardon of Marc Rich. And as only befits the Beltway, Scooter Libby, Kitty [Pilgrim, guest host], was once a lawyer for Marc Rich in Washington.

One of your emails mentioned larval stage parasites. If you consider placental mammal gestation, I think the embryo and developing offspring in utero fulfils many of the criteria of a parasite. It basically 'plugs-in' and takes everything it needs from the host (mother) until it reaches the next stage.
An intelligent egglaying (oh, say martian...) species may well view this as a hideous form of parasitism.

First off I when I hear your ending song and thought it sounded like Ronald jenkes and just saw it was, I like his stuff.
So I heard on this American life podcast last week a story about a guy who heard about hook worms having an effect on wether a person has asthma or alergies. So he went to Africa and walked around in the poop fields and got the hook worm. When he gets home his alergies are gone. What do you think about that? I have alergies to cats, should I go get some worms? This was also first on a podcast of wnyc's radiolab which I highly recommend.

Hi Guys,
After being approched by John and Beks to make thier Zam rifle scope and greeblies, I've been asked by other members if I can do the same for them.
The problem being is the time it takes to machine such complex angles etc, pushing the price high, and with the dollar being weak it makes it worse for you guys in the states.
So I considering producing a run of these in resin.
I would need a decent number of people to put thier names down to make this a realistic project.
Price wise would be approx £40 ( $80 ) and that would include the scope, scope holders, side greeblie and smaller greeblie.
Ive attached some pics of Beks parts, but Ive since made modifications to make them more accurate. (bigger scope ends for example)

Combating the Silent Epidemic of Viral Hepatitis: Action Plan for the Prevention, Care and Treatment of Viral Hepatitis
May is Hepatitis Awareness Month
Please join HHS and our public health partners across the Nation in observing Hepatitis Awareness Month in May.
Hepatitis is a hidden epidemic with significant public health consequences.
- An estimated 3.5-5.3 million persons are living with viral hepatitis in the United States, and millions more are at risk for infection.
- Because viral hepatitis can persist for decades without symptoms, 65%-75% of infected Americans remain unaware of their infection status and are not receiving care and treatment.
- Hepatitis (which is largely preventable), is the leading cause of liver cancer. Without timely care, 1 in 4 persons with chronic hepatitis will develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Action Plan for the Prevention, Care and Treatment of Viral Hepatitis
Building on the success of the nation's first comprehensive cross-agency action plan, released in 2011, Combating the Silent Epidemic of Viral Hepatitis: Action Plan for the Prevention, Care, & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis, the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Justice (DOJ), and Veterans Affairs (VA) released a 3-year update of the plan in April 2014.
The updated Viral Hepatitis Action Plan builds on the foundation of and momentum generated by the original action plan and seeks to harness:
- New recommendations for health care providers regarding screening for hepatitis C;
- Promising new developments in treatments for hepatitis C;
- Mounting public awareness of and concern about hepatitis B and hepatitis C; and
- The expansion of access to viral hepatitis prevention, diagnosis, care, and treatment offered by the Affordable Care Act.
The updated Viral Hepatitis Action Plan details more than 150 actions to be undertaken between 2014 and 2016 by 14 federal agencies or offices from across four federal departments. Those actions are organized around six priority areas.
The updated Viral Hepatitis Action Plan underscores that its national goals cannot be achieved through federal action alone. Envisioning active involvement of and innovation by a broad mix of nonfederal stakeholders from various sectors, both public and private, the plan provides a framework and focus around which all key stakeholders can engage to strengthen the nation's response to viral hepatitis and seeks to leverage opportunities to improve the coordination of viral hepatitis activities across all sectors.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
As said, the fan function is the only real concern. The alternator cooling fan is designed to pull air into the back of the alternator to cool the diodes/heat sink located there. Then the air is exhausted out the front. Spinning the fan backwards will pull air (less efficiently) in the front and push it back through the alternator until it reaches the diodes/heat sink then exhausts out the back. So IF the fan is directional, it will be more efficient in one direction than the other.
Whether or not the loss of the fan's efficiency is a matter for concern will depend on how hard the alternator is worked, and things like the underhood temperature and air flow around the alternator in the vehicle it's in now.
My gut feeling is there will not be an issue unless there are higher than normal temps under hood and/or the alternator duty cycle is extreme. But if this were to be a concern, the fan can be swapped for one that gives the correct air flow or one that's "bidirectional" can be used instead. A bi-fan will have basically straight blades radiating out and won't have any fan blade bias as to direction like a directional fan has.
I probably am just over thinking this, but at the price of these things I don't want to kill any.
Just wanted to make sure that rotating it in the opposite direction (if this setup requires it) wouldn't fry the electronics in it. The cooling fan on it I can deal with I think. If not I'll be going to plan B. Once I can find out what that would be that is.
With most serpentine systems the water pump runs backwards (compared to traditional belts), but the alternator turns in the same direction. I don't think I've seen one that changes the rotation direction of the alternator.
|The CS 130d is a very good high output alternator and it will work backwards. The only problem I see is the cooling fan. If you look at the two fans, you can see one is a centrifugal type and the other is a squirrel cage type. They are designed to move a lot of air and I don't know if they work as well backwards. It might do fine, but 100 amps is a lot of heat and those fans are one reason for the reliability of the CS 130d. The voltage regulator has a temp monitoring circuit and will stop charging if it overheats. I also do not like one wire alternators, I want one that monitors the vehicle load, but that's just my preference. As an added bonus, you can run a tachometer off the "P" terminal, diesels are done this way.
|EOD Guy
|Not sure why you'd want to run it backwards and really don't know if it will work..... here's a few dia and should get you on the right track.
I just replaced the CS 130 in my 59 with a CS130D.
I got bit by the alternator fan one too many time with the regular CS130.
This is what I will say
CS130---world of difference over the old 12SI alternators
Has the power to run everything on my 59 but did not really maintain 14+ volts at cruise with the AC and electric fans running (did keep the battery charged up tho).
CS130D (internal fan) I just put on the 59 (and also my 66 elky) seems to be able to keep up with high loads at idle.
After changing the alternator, I started the car, and immediately turned on:
Headlights---high beams
Heater fan on high
Both engine cooling fans
(car has two electric fuel pumps)
And even started running the windows up and down.
On a cold car still trying to hit on all 8 cylinders, volts never dropped below 13.8 at idle.
Turned everything off and had a steady 14.4.
Yep---the CS alternators are up to the task
GM CS style alternators?
I need to increase my amp handling due to an electric fan, fuel pump, and other stuff. I bought one of these of of a Cadillac from ebay, but realised that I don't know much about them.
Can they be used for both clockwise and counter clockwise rotation? Putting this on a 70 Pontiac Lemans, and also changing to a home brewed serpentine belt system. I've already gotten the MADElectrical instal kit for the wiring for this.
I specifically do not want nor will use a one wire type. Just don't like them. Just in case anyone wants to bring those up.

Johan Djourou says Arsenal must prove they are the "kings of London" by beating Tottenham at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Arsène Wenger's men currently lie 10 points behind their rivals in the Premier League table and lost 2-1 at White Hart Lane in October.
The Swiss defender accepts that Spurs have done well this season but believes the two clubs' respective league positions will be irrelevant once the match begins.
"When you play them, you forget the table; it is a battle and the best team will win," Djourou told Arsenal.com.
"They are in great shape this season, they have been playing a lot better than before but you have to forget about that and go to war.
"They have a lot of quality, we shouldn't be blind about that. They have players like Modric, Parker, Adebayor and Bale so it's a good team.
"When you play well you gain a lot of confidence. At the start of the season some people wrote them off because they lost a few games but since then they have been unbelievable. But it is up to us to show that we are the kings of London."
Former Gunner Emmanuel Adebayor has scored 10 times for Tottenham this season and Djourou is looking forward to facing his former team-mate.
"He is a great player, he showed that when he was here," he said. "He works hard, he is very good on the ball and obviously he will be a tough opponent but I am not scared of anyone. I am happy to have the opportunity to face him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

President Barack Obama addressing a gathering of CIA employees defended his release of Bush administration memos which spelled out in detail the torture of prisoners. He argued the need to act "because of the exceptional circumstances that surround these memos, particularly the fact that so much of the information was public." He also repeated his promise not to have anyone prosecuted for participating in torture of humans. Obama urged the hundreds of CIA personnel not to be discouraged. His comments are disappointing in light of the reality that members of the United States government violated the Geneva Conventions and the Constitution. George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales are guilty of crimes and if they fail to be forced to deal with their crime, how can the United States uphold its standing in the world as a moral society?
The Nelson Mandela concept of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission would serve America in this issue. Everyone who participated in torture must be compelled to acknowledge their crime, apologize, and then be forgiven. This is not a matter of sending low level CIA operatives to jail while leaders make money writing books, but ensuring that EVERYONE is compelled to openly apologize. Sorry, President Obama, your comments are disheartening to those who believe in the moral values of this nation. Have a talk with Mandela.
