Today I recieved the helmet from Bobamaker.
I will start working on the helmet coming weekend. I hope it doesn´t take to long to finish it. ;) I plan to use the padding of a old biker helmet for the inside. The Rangefinder will be moveable, but not electical yet. ( I can update that anytime later ) A voicechanger will be added too, as soon as I find a good sounding one over here.
Altough I am doing a all ROTJ suit, I will do a ESB paintjob on the helmet, its just more appealing to me

Dodgers sign Redding to minor-league deal
The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed right-handed starter Tim Redding to a minor-league contract, a source told FOXSports.com.
Redding, who turns 32 next month, has been invited to the team's big-league spring training.
In 2010, Redding went 8-5 with a 2.89 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) between the Triple-A affiliates of the New York Yankees and Colorado Rockies.
Redding's most recent big-league appearances came with the New York Mets in 2009. During the 2008 season, he threw a career-high 182 innings for the Washington Nationals.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Buckeyes#1, Apr 19, 2007.
We're literally talking VHS here.
I have high hopes of becoming a retired basketball fan.
Well I believe Joe received a fair deal. If darko were to come out of the draft today he would be a draft choice between 8 through 12. Shedding arroyo's salary would cost a few drops in the draft posiions. So presto this about fifteen ( in a deep draft). Darko was unhappy he had to leave so Joe did reasonably well. If a player produces on a rookie contract that is the ultimate for a GM
Remember, if he was an 8-12 draft pick this year, his salary would be very low compared to what it is going to be. You don't think every team would be chomping at the bit right now to get Darko Milicic signed up for the next 4 years at $4M per year? In that price range, he'd be a very hot commodity. Like #3 behind Oden and Durrant. The thing that screws this up is that you get the top rookies for below market prices. If you had to pay them a market price, then Oden would easily be getting $8M/year right out of the gate... and would therefor not be as desirable.
Everyone keeps forgetting about the cap space. Without moving Darko and Arroyo, we would not have the room to re-sign Hunter, sign Murray/Mohammed. We would have had to pay luxury tax which is almost 1.5~2 times the overage. At #8~12, Darko would be in line to receive between $1.94 and $1.54 million to start. But he wouldn't have the Dirk Nowitzki comparisons, and he wouldn't have any NBA tape to sell people on. He would be another Euro big man, without the benefits of NBA weight training or conditioning. And at that salary, and only 2 years of his rookie deal guaranteed, he would be on a short leash to limit the pouting if PT was not there for him. He would have no choice but to wait for his opportunity with a smile.
Well, I guess that would've made LB's job much easier. The coach wouldn't have the pressure to play the guy either.
Cap space Shmap space.
I know one thing. After 4 years, he's now top 5 in a deep draft, not #2 in a deep draft. How is that for diminishing returns?
I think you should give some credit for that quote TaShawn...I believe it was Isiah Thomas who first made that statement.
Yeahbut... Oden is the best big man in a generation, right? The next Bill Russell. No shame in going after him. Durrant should be good, but if Darko could be picked up for the same price, I bet there are still some GMs out there who would grab him, cause they are so desperate for an inside presence.
darko would still be a top 3 pick in this draft. i can't believe that 8 - 12 thought process. darko after 4 drafts would still be a top 5 pick in every draft. i don't see how people call the guy a bad pick. if every draft since was redone he's still going top 5. after 4 years he's 1 of 2 in that draft to have a championship ring. i don't think it's diminishing returns. you get out what you put in. i think darko is doing great after 4 years of not 1 team trying to develop him like a lottery pick. i think he's doing great after 4 years of not being allowed to play towards his strengths. darko/arroyo > nazr/hunter/murray i'm not saying retirees aren't true bball fans. i'm just saying they come from a different generation. my grandma still thinks chuck daly coaches the pistons. retirees are loyal and they vote.
In My Day, Ballplayers Were For **** | The Onion - America's Finest News Source Speaking of retirees, I thought this was funny.
Lebron James Carmello Anthony Chris Bosh Josh Howard Kirk Hinrich David West Leandro Barbosa Carlos Delfino Maurice Williams Zaza Pachulia Steve Blake Luke Walton Jason Kapono Travis Outlaw Boris Diaw Mikael Pietrus Chris Kaman That's 2003. Tell me today you would take him in the top 5. And do it with your brain, not your heart.
yes. if i was the pistons without a doubt i'd take him # 2 again. he fit in so well with the unselfish play, the defensive intensity, the great passing, the length and quickness of our frontline. he solved the problem of having a defensive center but not having to play 4 on 5 on offense. in my opinion the problem was never the pick it was what was done after the pick. if i was any other team. i'd maybe take lebron, melo, wade, bosh before him as no brainers. championships are won with defense and centers. centers don't come along as often as wing players do. centers can't be addressed in free agency as easily as wing players that's why there is a premium on them.
looking back that seems like an unusally deep draft..
I still would take him as the number 1 pick from that draft. He is the only 7-2 center listed above. Not only that, he can shoot the daylights out from the outside. Ask this question in two years, and I bet people laugh at you for even considering any of the rest of the players on this list.
I'm not considering lee. I want the fans opinions. I just posted the notable players who have caught on and played significant minutes from that draft.
If I were to go back and pick from that draft, my order would be as follows- 1. Lebron- This is a no brainer. If you don't agree with this then we can continue this conversation in Japanese. I don't understand that at all either. It would be just as productive. 2. Bosh- This was my second choice behind Darko at the time. He's a franchise big. It's tough to get franchise bigs. 3. Wade- At the time, I thought he would be a one of the great combo-guards of the era. He's even better than that. He'll go down as the second greatest shooting guard of his era. Kind of like Drexler. 4. Mello- Dude is somewhat selfish, but he can really play. At the very least he would be lighting guys up off the bench to the tune of 17-20 points a night. Kind of like Barbosa on steroids. 5. Darko- He's Orlando's best post scorer, not Howard. He can pass, block shots and make open jumpers. If he was on a team like Atlanta, where he would be the primary post option, he would be averaging 17-20 points a game.
I think that a good way to measure the draft class will be to compare their salaries after all the extensions are in place. No better way to value a stock than to look at where it is trading.
Sign Billups, trade him for Darko and GHill, sign Law and play one frightening line-up with Prince/Delfino/RIP/Sheed/Darko. Of course, this is only a dream and Darko will never go back. If AJ and JMax don't develop the way we want them to, this team's gonna have a huge problem on the long haul.

Hello everybody!
I finally got the bucks to effort a, hopefully, as movie accurate as possible, Jango Fett Costume. A friend of mine is a professional painter, he's done excellent work on my Rubies Darth Helmet. (ESB Style) So only kits are requiered. I know what I want, but don't have a hell of a clue, where to get it. So who is willing to explain to a newbie where to start?? After reading some threads, meesetinkin, the shoes might be a problem, but anyway help would be much apreciated.

The Steelers have added wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey on a one-year contract. The 2009 first-round bust caught just 29 passes in 16 games with the Colts last season. His game is very simple: Blazing speed and stone-covered hands. Heyward-Bey dropped six passes in 2013.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Steelers are trying to catch magic in a bottle here, but since DHB can't catch much of anything, he shouldn't be more than veteran depth in a rebuilt receiving corps. Second-year wideout Markus Wheaton will be given every opportunity to be Pittsburgh's No. 2 WR.

School lockdown caused by gunfire from Nerf guns
(Elyria) – Police were called out to a report of gunfire at a school in Elyria this week, but it turned out to be a major false alarm.
Elyria police were called out to Open Door Christian School after getting a call that someone had shot at a staff member's office. The Chronicle-Telegram reports police turned out in full force and put the school on lockdown.
The lockdown ended when police found out that the gun in question was a Nerf gun. A Nerf gun fight was going on in the school's church to mark the first day of school.
A church staff member sent a text to her daughter saying one of the foam bullets had hit her office door, and the daughter misunderstood and called police.

Manchester Crimewatch: Felon faces charge he threatened to slice wife's throat
Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier requested bail of $5,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring Jones from contact with his wife and barring him from her residence. She noted Jones' criminal record includes convictions for aggravated felonious sexual assault, felon in possession of a weapon and violation of probation/parole.
Jones objected to the bail conditions, telling Judge William Lyons: "That's my wife."
Lyons said allegations in the affidavit supporting the arrest warranted the no-contact condition.
Trial was set for March 4.
Denies hitting wife
A city man accused of grabbing his wife by the wrist and slapping her across the face pleaded innocent in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a simple assault charge.
Speaking through an interpreter, Israel Salas Corcha, 33, of 31 English Village Road, said: "That I hit her, that's not true." He said they had an argument and he grabbed a bag in her hand.
Bail was set at $500 cash/surety, with conditions that bar contact with his wife and bar him from her residence.
Trial was set for March 4.

text: I'm not counting on it. ...I'm not even remotely hoping for it. Joe has his team signed to a bunch of Amnesty Clause calibur contracts. He has nothing to trade and no way to improve his team. I hate having my intelligence insulted by having to read about "building for the future". When you begin the year by locking up $15 million dollars worth of Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey; you're NOT building for the future - you're living in the past! I'd rather hear him say something like: "Some of the players that we've added over the last few years haven't produced to the level that they're capable of. We believe that they're better than what they've shown and we expect more. If we're going to turn this thing around as a team, it's going to be a two step process: We first must improve from within. Once we've done that, we'll be able to provide resources to go through external channels and add additional help. As a casual internet fan, I don't like being lied to.

Greece has become a port of entry to migrants from Africa and the Middle East who seek to become part of the European Union success story. Yesterday, Greek police clashed with immigrants in the port of Patras after an immigrant was struck by a truck driver. The immigrants apparently thought it was a deliberate action and they poured into the streets in search of revenge. Patras has become a gathering point for immigrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asian immigrants who seek to hop across the Adriatic and find work in Italy. Last month there were demonstrations by truck drives who complained immigrants constantly sought to hitch rides and this frequently resulted in violence.
Perhaps, it is time for the African Union to sit down with the European Union in an effort to organize the process of immigration. This is not an issue that will disappear. In fact, as the economic crisis deepens we can expect even more violent demonstrations and anger on the part of all involved in the immigrant problem.

Arsène Wenger is proud of his team's enduring quality in the Champions League.
Wednesday night's 2-0 victory over Montpellier, coupled with Schalke's win against Olympiacos, ensured qualification to the last 16 of Europe's premier tournament for the 13th straight year.
Wenger is delighted with that record, and says it shows the Club are operating in a successful way.
"It is a massive satisfaction because I am so many times with my back to the wall, accused of not spending fortunes," he said.
"To show that we can do it, with the way we do it, with the Club in a good financial situation and with the players coming from our youth development, I think it is important for the game as well. There are many different ways to be successful and I am very happy that our way is one of them.
"I feel we've done our job recently and that of course is a big positive. It was two big games, and even by winning last night, we were not sure to qualify for the last 16 but we did it.
"We are happy. We just want to go on from there. We now have two difficult away games again, first at Aston Villa. We want to prepare well and try to win this game."

Arsenal Under-18s' season is well and truly up and running thanks to impressive wins against Leeds and MK Dons – and left-back Samir Bihmoutine is convinced that Steve Bould's side has plenty to look forward to after a mixed 2010/11 campaign.
"We've had a couple of good wins already and things are looking much more positive this season," he says. "Last year was a massive learning curve for everybody – especially for those of us who were first-years – and we'd all admit it wasn't the best of seasons.
"But now we've gelled as a team, we're playing more like an Arsenal side and look more effective in and around the box. We've been working hard in training on keeping the ball, moving it more quickly and closing down from the front so we can pressure teams into giving the ball away. I think you can see it working so far."
Now firmly established as one of the team's senior members, Samir admits that the first year of an Academy scholarship is something of a culture shock for anybody – but states that he's now well attuned to the rigours of life under the watchful eyes of Liam Brady and Steve Bould.
"It was quite different and took quite a bit of time to adapt. Up at Hale End we weren't training every day and it wasn't as intense as here. I learned lots of new training drills after arriving here, and of course it's difficult as first, but I got used to it as time went on."
When asked to name his favourite moments of last term, Samir doesn't hesitate.
"My most memorable performance was against Portsmouth – I came on as a sub and made a positive impact, scoring a goal and setting one up. That gave me confidence for the games that followed. It was also great to be on the bench at Chelsea in the Youth Cup – I didn't come on but it was a good experience."
Samir's educational arc has included the rudiments of his position. He explains that, although now happy in the back four, his sights were originally set further forward. He says: "I'm an attacking kind of left-back – I used to play on the left wing when I was younger but Steve has preferred for me to play as a forward-thinking defender, which I enjoy. I like to create overlaps and get crosses in.
"I've had to learn quite a bit about covering and about heading, which I wasn't really used to on the left wing. I found it quite hard at first, with the increased physical expectation of playing in defence, but I've picked it up with time. I've got a programme from fitness coach to help me with my strength on the pitch. I'm following it closely and so far it's paying off."
He's not been short of role models – either currently at the Club or recently departed – noting: "I used to pay particular attention to Gael Clichy, see what he was doing and learn a few things from him. It was weird seeing Gael leave because you were used to seeing him week in, week out, but Kieran Gibbs came in and did well at the start of the season and that's encouraging for any Academy boy. We've now got Andre Santos, too, who looks an exciting signing so there are plenty of good examples here."
There's a chance Samir could become sought-after property on the international scene. His father is Moroccan, and he admits that he'd love to represent the 'Lions of the Atlas'.
"I've had contact with Morocco and might look to represent them next year after getting more experience with Arsenal," he reveals. "I'd like to play for them, my dad's from there and it's a big part of my background. I speak with Marouane Chamakh when I see him in the gym, and we've chatted about the national team. Our families come from similar places, actually, in Casablanca – so we have that in common."
Finally, Samir sketches out his ambitions for the next 12 months – and they're as bold as you'd expect from any second-year scholar.
"I'd like to become a regular in the reserves and to sign my first pro' contract. Hopefully I can train with the first-team a bit, too, and perhaps even make a Carling Cup appearance. I'll keep working hard to give myself the best possible chance of achieving all these things."

Great, just wont stay on my foot all day
By Missy

About Me Athletic
When I wear it with my dress shoes it really works great because I usually only wear it for a couple of hours. But if I wear it to work, after a couple of hours the part of the brace that goes around the foot works its way to the top of my sock and then I gave a big buldge there pressing on my toes.

Arsène Wenger believes 17-year-old striker Chuba Akpom could be a first-team contender soon.
Akpom has already scored three goals for Noel Blake's England Under-19 side this season, and has forced himself into Terry Burton's Arsenal Under-21 side.
Wenger named the striker on the bench for Tuesday's trip to Olympiacos in the Champions League, and admits Akpom has impressed him.
"He has personality [and] he has quality," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"I wanted him to be with the first team, taste what it is [to be involved] in a Champions League game, and hopefully he will join us very quickly. It could happen very soon.
"He's more a guy who likes to participate in the build up, a guy who is brave, a guy who makes good runs and is not a typical goal chaser.
"Where he must improve is to finish things off. But he creates for others, he creates for himself, and just needs to be a bit calmer for the finishing. That's something he will get easily."

may be stupid but just an idea i had. your sai as i know pumps extra air into your exhaust side of your cylinder head... extra air to heat up the catalyst.
SO lets say with a SAI delete. could you then revert back pressure to your SAI ports.
in my mind this would result in keeping the turbo spooled slightly better on quick shifts rather than reverting it to the intake.
or maybe the colder air would be bad to expose to the turbine wheel and this is just stupid

Today, more than 3,000 vendors and somewhere in the ballpark of 140,000 attendees descend on Las Vegas to attend CES 2013. Continuing the trend of the past several years, this year traditional consumer electronics (CE) manufacturers are noticeably absent or scaled back in their presence. Microsoft has ditched its keynote and its million-dollar booth, preferring to hold low-key meetings in a hotel far from the convention center. HP, Dell, RIM, and other tech titans of the past are similarly absent from the show floor. But rather than see this withdrawal as a sign that CES is on the decline, I see it as a sign that CES matters more than ever — to everyone except the CE giants of the past.

Enrollment in Health Insurance: Take Care People 30 (2014) Ad Council Radio PSA
If you think this jingle/PSA is catchy and/or annoying, please respect my opinions!
59% of the under insured lack knowledge about options available to them under the new healthcare law. At the launch of the campaign, 41 million people in the United States were uninsured, exposing themselves and their families to significant financial risks in cases of medical issues, accidents and emergencies. With the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health insurance now covers prescriptions, hospital visits, doctor visits and more.
Millions of the uninsured and underinsured will qualify for financial assistance. But, recent consumer research conducted by Enroll America indicates that 59 percent of the underinsured lack knowledge about brand new plan options, and 69 percent of the uninsured don't know that financial assistance is available to help pay for their plan. There is significant need to raise awareness, and help people get more information about the new plan options that are available for them and their families.
The "Take Care, People" campaign uses pets as the unlikely spokespeople to raise awareness, educate, and motivate uninsured Americans to explore their options and enroll in health insurance for themselves and their families under the historic ACA. The non-partisan effort provides important information and tools year round and during open enrollment. The campaign directs the target to learn more at GetCoveredAmerica.org, where they can access information and tools to help with the enrollment process – including access to zip code locators for in-person assistance, a calculator to estimate costs, FAQs and tip sheets.

Why Floridians Could Benefit From Medicare Supplemental Insurance
As you get older, your risk of developing a critical illness or long term health complaint increases dramatically. This might not just affect your physical well being. Many senior citizens struggle to pay for the cost of prescription medication or medical appointments, which can lead to stress and depression.
Many people in Florida have the mistaken belief that if they have Medicare, they do not need to worry about medical expenses. However, at best, Medicare only covers 80 percent of a medical bill. Paying the remaining 20 percent can prove to be a struggle if your household finances are tight or the health condition is one which entails recurring expenses. So what can you do to relieve the financial burden?
For many people, the best option is to sign up for a Florida Medigap plan. This supplemental insurance works in conjunction with Medicare to help pay for the portion of the costs which the main policy does not cover. Different levels of insurance coverage are available and you will be able to upgrade at any time. This gives you the peace of mind that if your health deteriorates, you can increase your coverage to a more adequate level. A lot of people find that the amount of money the policy pays out more than off sets the more expensive premiums.
Getting a Florida Medicare Supplement Plan
A Medigap policy can be obtained from most health insurance brokers and issuers, and is open to applications from anyone who is aged 65 or over. It is prudent to obtain several quotes to identify the most cost effective deal, but your existing Medicare provider is also worth getting in touch with. Insurance companies will do there utmost to retain their customers, and will normally be able to agree a very competitive deal with their broker. The right policy can bring you great peace of mind.
Medicare Offerings For Seniors
Medicare offerings are a popular topic because this great state has a lot of retiring seniors in its communities. Some opt for the traditional Medicare plans, while others prefer Medicare Advantage or Medicare HMO plans. There are pros and cons to both, and this article can help to explain what some of them are.
Traditional Medicare is part of the benefits that most seniors receive when they reach the age of 65. These benefits assist in paying for medical expenses, and the cost of the plan comes out of social security benefits. This plan can be great for a senior who does not visit the doctor often and does not take many prescription medications and can even be upgraded to have comprehensive coverage with a Medicare supplement plan. Medigap plans work with your Medicare coverage to provide you with a more complete solution. You can get quotes for these private insurance plans from many websites but our favorite site for Medicare supplement quotes is CompareMedicareSupplements.net. Another option for those with health care needs is a Medicare Advantage plan.
Medicare Advantage plans provide services to seniors for a small co-pay. Some plans are even free from co-pays, but they are typically more expensive. These plans often also include prescription benefits, which can be a huge advantage to those seniors taking several medications on a regular basis. While these plans can be a bit more expensive in premiums than traditional Medicare, the savings can more than offset the higher premiums for seniors who visit the doctor a lot.
To decide which plan is right for you, take the time to research several. Most private insurance companies offer Medicare Advantage plans, so you have a lot to choose from. You can research the products online or make a call to a friendly customer service representative. Taking the time to look into all of your options will help you to make an educated choice that saves you the most every month.
Medicare continues to be a popular subject for seniors, and for good reasons. The cost savings offered by Medicare supplements and Medicare Advantage plan are certainly worth looking into, as they can save you money and help you to get the health care provisions you truly need.
Invest Into Medicare Advantage Plans
To ensure a promising healthy future you should invest into one of the great Medicare advantage plans provided so that you can keep up with your body. It does not matter if you get a health maintenance organization plan, preferred provider organization plan, or any other type because they can all help you maintain your health. It's important to look after your body and to visit the doctor for annual physical examinations. You should also pay a visit to an optometrist and dentist when required as well.
Your family should all have health insurance. Keep your spouse, children, and parents healthy with one of the Medicare Advantage plans available. Without medical insurance the cost of visiting the doctor is going to be very expensive. Health insurance helps reduce all of your medical expenses so that you can live comfortably financially. When you need to undergo a procedure then the total price you pay will significantly reduce if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. If a doctor diagnoses you with a medical condition then you will be pleased to learn that Medicare can help reduce the cost of medication.
Stop wasting time without insurance. One of the Medicare HMO Advantage plans is something you should sign up for the next chance you get. When you or someone in your immediate family becomes ill then you will be pleased with the fact that you decided to get health insurance. Take a little time to investigate each plan so that you can figure out which is the best for your family. Remind your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone else you know that does not have medical coverage about Medicare Advantage plans. It's important that as many people as possible have insurance. All types of plans exist so there is coverage for everyone.
Pre-Existing Conditions And Life Insurance
While there are a lot of people that understand just how important life insurance is, there are some who do not realize just how devastating it can be for their loved ones to be left without a financial safety net upon their passing. There can be any sort of sudden illness or accident that can lead to an unexpected death, so it is always a good idea to hold a life insurance policy to give your loved ones financial security. If you happen to have a pre-existing health problem, you will want to look into your options so that you are not paying a high rate for your insurance coverage. Such pre-existing conditions can include asthma, cancer, heart disease or diabetes.
The good thing is that you can still have options when it comes to high risk life insurance policies. It is all a matter of finding the best rate and the coverage that you desire. By working with an insurance advisor, you should be able to find the best coverage regardless of whatever health condition you are dealing with. Whether you have been turned down in the past due to your health problems or you are worried about having to pay a high premium, the right advisor will be able to work with you to get a good rate that you can afford.
Getting a Life Insurance Policy with a Pre-Existing Condition
The major difference when it comes to impaired or high risk life insurance is that the client is able to be matched with a provider that works with the best coverage for any given health issue or you can opt for a guaranteed issue policy where you have no health questions at all. This actually takes away a lot of stress that would normally come along with insurance policies for those who have pre-existing health problems.
Insurance agents who represent your normal life insurance company will only offer the policies that are sold by whatever company that they work for. This means individuals that have health problems could pay more. This is why it is so important to find the right advisor who will shop around to get you the best rate for a high risk policy so that you can have great coverage.
Is Life Insurance Really Necessary?
Most people have plenty of monthly expenses already. They may wonder why they should add another bill to the mix by purchasing life insurance. It's hard for some to justify buying a product they aren't sure they'll ever use when they have so many things they actually need that they cannot yet afford.
The fact is, though, that life insurance is a solid investment against potential financial ruin in the future for your family. If your family relies heavily on your income, what are they going to do when you're suddenly not there to help provide for them? How will they pay for their essential daily needs like housing and groceries if you have not planned a supplemental source of income for them through a life insurance policy?
Not to be overlooked either is the high cost of funeral expenses. Where will your family come up with several thousand dollars to pay for your final expenses if they don't have a life insurance policy to cover them? They may not be able to make the house payment because of paying for a funeral and end up losing the family home. A small monthly life insurance premium now can avoid a disastrous outcome like that in the future.
Once you are convinced that life insurance is a good idea and a necessity in your life, it's time to start determining which kind of policy to purchase. The main thing you need to understand is that there is "term" life insurance and "whole" life insurance. I found great resources on all types of life insurance at GoldSmithInsurance.com. You should check there first to help with determining the type of life insurance that best suits you.
Since your premium goes up the higher your coverage goes, it's important to make an accurate determination of how much life insurance you really need to purchase. Also, realize that a whole life insurance policy will cost more because you can tap into it before you die.
Other factors influencing your monthly premiums will be things like age and health of the insured. This is another reason deciding to purchase life insurance as early in your life as possible is important. The older you are and the more health conditions you have, the more expensive your premiums will become.
Don't try to figure this all out on your own. Find an insurance agent you can trust, and have a conversation with them about your needs. They can help you determine the best policy for the needs of yourself and your family.
Traits Of No Medical Exam Life Insurance
What is a no exam life insurance policy? It is simply that, a life insurance policy that you can obtain without having to have a medical exam done prior to coverage beginning. While these policies are nice, they do come with a few drawbacks. Traditional insurance policies will typically require you to have a medical exam, and that physical form submitted before the underwriting process can be started.
One of the main drawbacks to the no exam life insurance policy is that you will probably pay higher premium rates than you would for a traditional policy. The more a potential insurer knows about your lifestyle and medical history, the more likely you are to receive the best possible premium rate for your policy. It is possible for you to pay as much as three times the premium price for your no exam policy as you would pay for a traditional policy.
One positive to the no medical exam policy is that you can usually obtain coverage much quicker than with the traditional policy. You will not have to wait for an exam to be scheduled and for the physical form to be submitted for coverage to begin. Usually you will be asked a series of medical questions on your application. Your policy will be decided on the answers to these questions.
As you can see, there are both positives and negatives to obtaining a no exam life insurance policy. It would be best for you to discuss your personal situation with an agent that deals in both traditional and no exam insurance policies. By doing so they can give you the best recommendations for you and your family. Insurance agents are there to help you get the best policy in the quickest amount of time. Use their expertise to benefit you.

Finding quality Tampa auto insurance doesn't have to be difficult, understanding what is expected of you by the state can help you find a company that fits your situation & provides the coverage you need at an affordable rate.

Understanding what is expected of them can help them avoid future problems in the event of an accident, and help them make better decisions about their auto insurance Tampa FL provider.

Wash. Post article 'shortchanged' the truth about African Americans and Social Security
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
Washington Post staff writer Michael A. Fletcher reported that President Bush said African Americans are "shortchanged" by the current Social Security system "because it is so closely tied to life expectancies," but buried criticism of Bush's misleading claim and omitted key facts that debunk that claim.
In his February 11 article, titled "President Calls Current System Unfair to Blacks" with the subhead "He Points to Life Expectancy," Fletcher stated that "[b]lack Americans' life expectancy is 72.3 years -- more than five years shorter than for whites," adding: "Black men die even sooner, living an average of 68.8 years, compared with 75.1 years for white men." But Fletcher failed to report the flaw in this argument: The discrepancy between the life expectancies of blacks and whites is largely due to higher mortality rates for black infants and youths, as Media Matters for America has noted. The more relevant statistic when discussing the racial implications of Social Security is contained in the report "Health, United States, 2004," which was compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics and noted that the difference in life expectancy for blacks and whites who survive until age 65 is only about two years (depending on birth cohort), not the "more than five years" Fletcher stated in the Post.
Furthermore, Fletcher reported without challenge Bush's claim that his plan for private accounts would allow most African Americans to pass on their retirement benefits to their heirs. According to the article, Bush said that "if I were a part of a group of people that were being disadvantaged by the Social Security system ... I'd at least like to have the opportunity to have some of the money I put in the system passable to my family." But as Media Matters has noted, economist Dean Baker explained in a February 2005 Center for Economic and Policy Research report that Bush's expected plan "would require workers to buy an annuity large enough to ensure that (when combined with their traditional Social Security benefit) they would have at least a poverty level income in their retirement," which, for many African Americans, would mean "that they will have to surrender their individual accounts, and will have nothing left to pass onto their children -- just as is the case with the current Social Security system."
After repeatedly referring to Bush's proposed private accounts by the White House-approved term "personal accounts" and noting that Bush's claim is "an argument some have found compelling," Fletcher stated in the eighth paragraph that "others worry that they [private accounts] would weaken the safety net that Social Security has provided." Fletcher cited general concerns about partial privatization of Social Security and ways in which private accounts could be detrimental to African Americans: "A 2003 report by the Government Accountability Office [GAO], the investigative arm of Congress, concluded that blacks tend to receive a higher rate of return than whites from Social Security because of their heavier reliance on the program's full range of benefits." Baker's report addressed the rate-of-return issue in more detail, concluding like the GAO did that the current Social Security system "gives substantially higher returns to African Americans than to whites":
Several studies have found that the progressivity of the [Social Security] payback structure largely or completely offsets the impact of shorter life expectancies, to provide a return to black men that is approximately the same as the return to white men. It is also important to remember that the retirement program is only one portion of the Social Security system. African Americans benefit disproportionately from the survivors and disability portions of the program, so the Social Security system as a whole gives substantially higher returns to African Americans than to whites.

Patton laments 'stupid mistake' that led to ban
Associated Press | Last updated February 05, 2014
Opening day will have a different meaning this year for Baltimore Orioles reliever Troy Patton. When the Orioles launch the 2014 season at Camden Yards on March 31 against the defending champion Boston Red Sox, Patton will start serving the 25-game suspension he received in December for testing positive for a banned amphetamine. Patton took Adderall, a drug commonly used to combat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, late in the 2013 season and then was given a random drug test. Because Patton did not have a therapeutic use exemption for Adderall and it was his second positive test for a banned stimulant, Baltimore's left-handed relief specialist was suspended and will lose $174,180 of his $1,275,000 salary. ''It was a stupid mistake, especially having failed one prior test,'' Patton said last weekend. ''I made the mistake and now I'm just ready to deal with it.'' Patton cringes when he thinks about the Orioles opening the season without him. ''It was real frustrating because my goal every year is to run down that orange carpet,'' he said. ''That would mean I made it again, another year with the team. Missing those first few games against Boston at home is going to hurt real bad.'' The pain began when he learned of his suspension, which followed a season in which the 28-year-old went 2-0 with a 3.70 ERA in 56 games. Although clearly repentant, Patton acknowledged he ''let down'' his teammates in their bid to get off to a good start in the highly competitive AL East. But he also wants Baltimore fans to know that Adderall is not a performance-enhancing drug. ''I don't want fans to associate the Adderall with steroids or things of that nature because it's a completely different thing,'' he said. ''People take Adderall every day for normal usage. Four times the normal percentage of people in baseball take it than in the real world. It's not something that I was doing to try to get bigger, faster, stronger. It's something I was trying to do just to have some energy and alertness.'' Patton can't return until April 29 at the earliest. He won't see much action during spring training, either. ''Why would I give him innings when he can't pitch until April something when I can use that to evaluate somebody else?'' Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. ''I'm not going to have him pitch in an intrasquad game and then there are two months before he pitches. He may not pitch a whole lot before we break camp.'' Patton insists he needs treatment for ADHD, but he can't get a prescription for Adderall because of his misstep with the drug. ''I still think I'm ADD and I would like to take Adderall but it's going to more difficult now to go through that process,'' he said. ''I know I can play without it. I have for years. It's not something that I desperately need.'' And so, Patton guarantees he won't be using it anytime soon. ''I'm not going to keep Adderall within a mile of me,'' he said. ''It's much more of a penalty next time - 80 games. I can't afford to miss half a season. It's not even going to be a question. It's no longer in my repertoire at all. It's over with.''

Jim is Professor of English at Emporia State University; Tom is Professor of History at North Dakota State University. We've been writing Plains FolkTM weekly since 1983.
Both Jim and Tom have active schedules presenting concerts, lectures, and workshops to public and academic groups.
Together Jim and Tom have published two books (Plains Folk and Plains Folk II) based on writings from the column, and individually we have published other books dealing with life on the plains. We're happy to offer these books (including inscribed copies) to the public via the Plains FolkTM bookstore, Commerce of the Prairies.
Jim promotes regional studies by serving as Director of ESU's Center for Great Plains Studies, which provides course offerings and public programming.
Tom offers web-based graduate courses on the Great Plains from NDSU: Coyote Culture, a reading seminar, and Grassroots History, a research seminar.
What Are the Great Plains?In the preface to our book, Plains Folk, we said that we "decline to define the exact areal boundaries of the region about which we write." That's a discussion that never ends, and anyway, as we said, "more important to our thoughts than lines on a map are the essential characteristics of the region--the things that tell what the plains are, not just where they are. The greatest of Great Plains historians, Walter Prescott Webb, characterized the plains truly (if inexactly) as level, treeless, and semiarid. Typically, this characterization carries negative connotations: most thought about the plains begins with a catalog of what they lack, namely, mountains, trees, and rainfall. To restate these facts in a positive manner--to say that the plains have expansive vistas, lush grasslands, and blue skies--does not change them in substance." Although we define the plains mainly in physiographic terms, we recognize that they also may be defined in cultural terms, according to the patterns of life among regional residents. Those patterns, in fact, are our stock in trade, what we write about in Plains FolkTM. We also encourage people to think in north-south terms, to recognize the continental nature of a region that stretches from Alberta to Texas. Although we don't want to get hung up on boundaries, we do want people to know the general area we are talking about, and so for convenience and clarity we provide a map.

The reasoning is that the bees will get more aggressive with the introduction of 5 intruder bees and a queen..trying to kill them...and might kill the queen. Made sense to me so I did it and it worked fine. With the price of queens, if they recommend doing it...I figured I'd do it and it wasn't that big of a deal...and it actually gave me an opportunity to mark the queens.

I really enjoy reading the bios and profiles of the Draftees. I've always enjoyed the Mock Drafts that writers like Gosselin, and others put out. This last year while attending the Draft for the first time, but hopefully not the last, something struck me like nothing ever had before. No matter how closely these publications look at team needs and Draft position they cannot get a true feel for how a team is thinking. Look at our own drafting of Fasano in the 2nd round. It came out of nowhere, but now that we know why, it's easier to understand. My immediate thought was that they (Jerry & Bill) expected Witten to bolt via Free Agency and I was sick. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how they can open up the 2 TE formation and cause matchup problems. I find the draft ideas of some on this forum more interesting to read than some of the publications. I was wondering if any of you feel the same? I would like to find at least one fan of every team in the NFL who was a truly dedicated Draftnik and read what they have to say about their team needs, focus, etc. The reason I say this is because fans are more focused on their team than the media Draft publications. For instance Kiper had Jason Allen coming to the Cowboys. Free Safety was a definite need, he needed to slot Allen, but despite Jerry saying we wouldn't go FS on Day 1, he refused to budge. Most of the Draftniks here knew OLB was the target. Why? Easy, we pay attention to every detail about the team that comes out. Nothing came out about a ramped up 2 TE set. If something had leaked, we'd have all probably been on it. I'm not trying to diss Kiper, Gosselin or any of the other media outlets who provide us with a service. I'm just saying I enjoyed the input here much more. It got me to wondering if anyone else felt the same. I started a very small Draft related website last year that I am trying to decide how to expandit. Fan written bios and profiles interests me. I have an idea in mind for this little website but I wanted your input first before I do anything else.

Fourth report on "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" [en] - [fr] - [mk]
Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"
Strasbourg, 15.06.2010 - The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published a new report on "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". ECRI's Chair, Nils Muiznieks, acknowledged that there had been improvements, but also expressed concern about the strong division of society along ethnic lines and the difficult situation of the Roma.
As regards positive developments, changes to the Criminal Code have been a significant step towards consolidating the legal framework to combat racism. Judges and prosecutors now receive compulsory initial training in this connection. A civil-law bill on protection against discrimination has been drawn up.
The authorities have adopted a national strategy to improve the housing, education, employment and health situation of the Roma. Measures have been taken in favour of other historical minorities in the fields of public-sector employment and use of languages. A large number of long-term residents have been granted citizenship.
At the same time, the country continues to be divided along ethnic lines. Statements by politicians and opinion leaders do not assist reconciliation. Segregation in the school system is common. There are wide divergences in school curricula. Teaching in languages other than Macedonian appears to be insufficient or of poor quality. Media are also separated according to their ethno-linguistic affiliation and ethnically tinged reporting of events is still widespread.
The national strategy notwithstanding, the living conditions of many Roma continue to be worrying. The authorities have not provided sufficient funds for the implementation of recent action plans. Roma face difficulties with education, employment and access to health care. Roma women are subject to multiple discrimination and there is a high number of Roma children in the streets who do not receive adequate care.
Racial profiling as well as cases of ill-treatment by the police, targeting in particular the Roma, continue to be reported and there is still no fully independent mechanism to investigate such acts.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations, three of which require priority implementation and will be revisited by ECRI in two years' time:
The report, including Government observations, is available at: www.coe.int/ecri
ECRI is an independent human rights body of the Council of Europe, which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states.

I'm waiting for the Asus Transformer, LOL
I didn't wanted it yesterday, nor today at the same price.
$100 off, but refurbished. Not sure that's worth it. Still too close to the price of a laptop.
Hope they only have a few left.
This is for the people who yesterday thought... "I only buy things during a wootoff."
Video Review:
Rather long, so will give you something to do while these sell out.
Or you can read the review here
Or go to Engadget
Or Android Central
Or CNET
It's a nice tablet, but as there are more than a few flaws with it that keeps it from being a great tablet.

Lol, if they post one I would be very surprised Good luck though!
16 hours later...we meet again
Come on. Not even $389?

ARSC X1 Update and Intro
ARSC technical and user services staff are now using "klondike". We're preparing it for users, getting to know it, and testing it. Several user codes have been ported for testing purposes.
A user called this week regarding the X1. He's developing a code, and wanted the basics of the system, to help program accordingly. So, here's a quick programmer's overview of the X1:
- Vector CPUs and high memory bandwidth. (Like the SV1ex and SX-6.)
- Scalable architecture with single system image. (Like the T3E.)
- CPUs grouped in shared memory "nodes". (Like the IBM SP.)
Worksharing and parallel programming models available:
- OpenMP (across CPUs within a shared memory node)
- MPI (across any CPUs on the system)
- Co-array Fortran (across any CPUs on the system)
- UPC (across any CPUs on the system)
- SHMEM (across any CPUs on the system)
"Hybrid." For example:
- MPI for internode communication,
- OpenMP for intranode shared-memory worksharing
- Co-Array Fortran or SHMEM for MPI bottlenecks.
For best performance, number 1 is first on the list. Your code should have a high vector fraction. ARSC analysts will be happy to work with you, helping test and assess your code, and work on optimizations for the X1. Also, this newsletter will be heavy with X1 articles as we ramp up, so don't miss an issue!
Leone Thierman has posted another time-lapse movie: assembling klondike. It's a QT movie, 6.5 MB, about 3 1/2 minutes:
IBM SP Batch Queues
As previously announced, the LoadLeveler class structure on icehawk was updated.
Excerpt from Icehawk, "news queues": ==================================== The maximum number of nodes that can be used by jobs in any class except "special" is 24. (96 processors). Unless the system is idle only one job per user will start -- others will wait in the queue. Even if idle max jobs per user is 3. We recommend job chaining instead of simultaneous submissions. For more information on job chaining see our HPC Newsletter articles: /arsc/support/news/hpcnews/hpcnews259/index.xml and /arsc/support/news/t3enews/t3enews176/index.xml Time partitioning: ------------------ 8 "quick turnaround" hours (0600 AK time/1000 Eastern to 1400 AK time/1800 Eastern) are reserved daily. During this period no short job should wait more than 4 hours to execute unless special work interrupts job flow. Killable jobs may be allowed during this period but only if they will not interfere with short work. During the remaining 16 hours preference is given to longer work. In general, "short" and "killable" jobs will run throughout the day, though these classes may not always be starting new work. Killable work may be killed at any time to facilitate the flow of large or short jobs, depending on the time of day. Short jobs will run at night, though they have a lower priority than large jobs so large work will run first when that class is active. The hours when large jobs will start are restricted to the 8 hour period between 14:00 and 22:00 AK time so we can guarantee that "large" work will finish by the next quick turnaround period. Available classes: ------------------ Summary: use - "short" if your job will complete in 4 hours - "killable" if your job uses restart files - "work" for I/O involving mass storage - "large" only for longer runs without restart capability Class Name Max Time Intended Purpose ---------- --------- -------------------------------------- work 4 hours data transfers to/from icehawk1,2,3 nodes. (archived mass storage mounted on icehawk nodes only). short 4 hours production jobs which will finish in <= 4 hours. Starts all day except 14:00-18:00 drain to ensure larger jobs get a chance. large 8 hours longer jobs which cannot be restarted. Started 1400 AK/1800 Eastern to 2200 AK/0200 Eastern only. killable 8 hours long jobs which can be restarted. killable at any time to facilitate job flow. special 48 hours "special case" runs only --jobs that exceed the conditions of the normal job classes either in wallclock time or number of processors. Please contact the ARSC Help Desk (email@example.com) for access to "special" and let us know with as much advance notice as possible when you intend to use it.
[ This is only half of "news queues". Read the news item for details on "killable" vs "large". Also, we welcome feedback and suggestions on the class/queue structures on all our systems.]

Book Reviews
[ Here're the latest book reviews from Guy Robinson. If *YOU* read a good science or computer book and care to review it, let us know! Don't worry, we're not going to grade it. ]
Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse: The Quest for the Quantum Computer. By Julian Brown. Publisher Simon and Schuster.
This presents a good background for those already familiar with programming and quantum physics about the challenges facing the building and operation of a quantum computer. You've perhaps heard that these systems are going to revolutionize certain areas of computing and that great steps are being made in making them a practical reality. This book not only covers the physics and mathematics involved but addresses some of the philosophical ideas behind what really powerful computers might be used for and how this might impact our understandings of intelligence.
Best American Science and Nature Writing, 2000. By: Quammen and Bilger. Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Co.
Found this remaindered in a bookstore in DC and just glanced at a few pages and thought it would be good reading on a flight. I'm always interested in the different ways science is written up by all interested parties. It contains a number of essays taken from other publications which cover a varied collection of topics. These can be read with different viewpoints, an interest in the science and the activity, the potential impact of the science on culture, and the way the author is getting across ideas. Many of the items are taken from magazines like New Yorker and the Atlantic and a few from science mainstream.
There is actually a series of these, not just a new one each year but also some different topics.
The Zen of Proposal Writing. By; Reeds. Publisher: Three Rivers Press.
If you've ever written a proposal you know that it involves a lot more than putting words on paper. This provides a good overview of the activities and interactions and many of the basic principles are covered about getting messages across to readers and how to work in a team creating a document describing a plan. It doesn't really matter if you're facing your first proposal activity or if you've written hundreds of successful proposals, this book can serve to focus your activities in a light hearted manner.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I had, yes, note past tense... a couple files to save, several to [[ delete, and some of those to delete had permission 400. They looked [[ something like this: [[ [[ $ ll [[ total 144 [[ -rw------- 1 saduser sadgroup 4280 May 23 15:36 d [[ -rw------- 1 saduser sadgroup 535 May 23 15:36 e [[ -rw------- 1 saduser sadgroup 17120 May 23 15:35 f [[ -r-------- 1 saduser sadgroup 8560 May 23 15:35 a [[ -r-------- 1 saduser sadgroup 2140 May 23 15:35 c [[ -r-------- 1 saduser sadgroup 1070 May 23 15:35 b [[ [[ To simplify my life, I did this, [[ [[ rm -i -f ?

[[ [[ If there's a question in all this, maybe you could answer it. I'm [[ too upset to think. According to the "man" page, the order of the -i and -f matters.

Q: Here's one person's definition of "code-blindness", grabbed off the web: "... the inability to actually work out what on earth your code is doing, even though you were wholly responsible for it..." Programmers: do you have a technique for snapping yourself out of code-blindness, or avoiding it in the first place?

Quote from: danno on December 14, 2012, 08:51:35 AMI would like a downloadable version ... Is it advertising if I mention my own downloadable beekeeping software, HiveTasks? There is a free trial version so you can see if the software suits your needs.
I would like a downloadable version ...
@Danno Thank you for the feedback! How many hives would you like to see allowed in a sideliner version?
I use the hivetracks, I love it, but like you guys are talking about I forget my hives by the time I get on the computer. I am thinking of trying the QR-Code system next year just not sure how well the stickers will hold up on the side of the hives.
They have an app for your smart phone already. I have been just turning on my voice recorder and place it in a pocket. Hope no one see's me talking to myself wandering around the bee yard.You have to have a numbering system of some sort though. When I have time I just replay and enter info into Hive Tracks. Every thing works well unless you can't get at your information on line.

Take an adventure holiday to OMAN with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
The Sultanate of Oman is a coastal plain at the southeast tip of the Arabian peninsula lying on the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Oman's diverse geography includes rugged coasts, placid beaches, craggy mountains, salt flats, oases and deserts.
Oman is roughly the same size as England and lies on the north-eastern corner of the Arabian peninsula bordering the United Arab Emirates in the north, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the west and Republic of Yemen in the south-west.
The northern part of the country is dominated by the mountain range Jebel Akhdar which includes the 3000m Jebel Shams. The north-eastern slopes of these mountains form a fertile plain, the Batinah, along the Gulf of Oman. This is where most of Oman's estimated 1.5 million people live and where Muscat is located.
"Since leaving Arabia, I have travelled among the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush, the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshes of Iraq. I have seen some of the most magnificent scenery in the world and have lived among tribes who are interesting and little known. None of these places has moved me as did the deserts of Arabia. Those 5 years I spent with the Bedouin were the most important of my life." Postscript by Wilfred Thesiger in Arabian Sands.

Comments about oreilly Making Things Talk, 2nd Edition:
I bought this on a budget for a project and the book has EVERYTHING to scope out the successful launch. Igoe's book is 1) fun and easy to read (if you have some background of TCP/IP) 2) broad enough to cover functionality from data in to data out, and most importantly 3) refelective of knowing what content is relevant and not. The indicator of a great technical writer is one who can capture his reader as if penning a work of fiction. Igoe's book is accessible to all ages. Truly an enjoyable book.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hello !
I'm interested by some texts from the 'Niti' corpus, a literay pali genre from Burma. I m looking for informations about one especially, the "Naradakkhadipani" that I find only in the Chatthasanghayana CD. Nowhere else is there a mention about it in the occidental studies. Does someone can offer me some ideas ?
