EASTON, Pa. - The Lafayette men's lacrosse team outscored Binghamton 7-0 in the second and third quarters on Saturday afternoon to claim a 12-6 victory at Rappolt Field.
Trailing 2-0 just over five minutes into the game, the Leopards got on the board with a Ryan Hansen even-strength goal to cut the Bearcat lead to 2-1. Twenty-one seconds later, Lafayette leveled the game at two with a Colin Serling goal from freshman Mike Galione.
After Binghamton regained the lead, Lafayette responded with two goals (Serling and Hansen) before Binghamton capped off the see-saw first quarter scoring to even the game at four.
Lafayette regained the lead quickly and never relinquished it. Back-to-back goals from Hansen followed by a man-up goal from senior co-captain Tom Perini courtesy of Tyler Silvey to take a 7-4 advantage going into halftime.
The Leopards took the second quarter momentum into the third quarter, as Will Heffernanopened the second half with a goal at the 14:26 mark.
Even-strength goals from senior Franklin Floyd, Serling and Heffernan's second of the goal ended the third quarter and a 7-0 run in the middle 30 minutes of the contest.
A man-down goal sandwiched by two Bearcat goals capped off the the Leopard scoring and the 12-6, evening Lafayette's record at 1-1 in the 2011 campaign.
Freshman goalkeeper Andrijko Andrusko was sensational in goal, notching 17 saves on the afternoon.
The Leopards won the ground ball battle (27-25). In addition, senior Cesar Munoz was 12-for-21 in face-offs.
Lafayette takes the win into Tuesday's game with Wagner. The Leopards will face-off against the Seahawks at 3:30 in Staten Island, N.Y.

Matthews likened Sen. Clinton to a "strip-teaser," asked, "Is she a convincing mom?"
Video ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
Loading the player reg...
On the December 19 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews compared Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) to a "strip-teaser"; said she had "a nice, mellifluous voice" and "her hair looked ... great"; and wondered if Clinton is "a convincing mom."
Discussing a possible Clinton presidential candidacy, Matthews asked New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, "[W]hen is a politician like Hillary Clinton or anybody else going to admit they have the A-word, ambition?" He then wondered when candidates such as Clinton were going to "stop with this coy thing," about how they're "flattered" by all the attention, a façade he said was "just like a strip-teaser saying she's flattered by the all the attention." Matthews added: "Hillary is running for president. She wants to be president. What's wrong with saying it?"
Later on, Matthews remarked that Clinton, in a video clip, "had a nice, mellifluous voice," was "calm," "charming," and although "her hair looked just to be cosmetic, her hair looked great," and "she looked great." Matthews then wondered if Clinton could "soften her image from the more strident Hillary and do well without it?"
National Review columnist Kate O'Beirne said that "given her previous image," Clinton, in a December 18 interview on NBC's Today, "went out of her way ... to talk about the kids, as a parent, as a mom." At that point, Matthews interjected to ask, twice, "Is she a convincing mom?" O'Beirne responded, "She's certainly trying to be."
From the December 19 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: Bob, I know you're a liberal, but when are -- when is a politician like Hillary Clinton or anybody else going to admit they have the A-word, ambition, and stop with this coy thing about, "I'm so flattered by so much" -- it's just like a strip-teaser saying she's flattered by the all the attention. Hillary is running for president. She wants to be president. What's wrong with saying it?
MATTHEWS: There's not -- why don't they just say, "You know, I'd really like to run this country. It would make me feel great to be president of the United States, to be on that short list"?
O'BEIRNE: Chris, I'm sympathetic here with Senator Clinton. We've got to hear from her early in the year. This is like the last level of control she might have. I mean, once she jumps into that field, she knows, she's been there. So she's got to control her announcement. I don't fault her for that. She's running.
MATTHEWS: Bob, didn't you think she had a nice, mellifluous voice there? She was calm, she was charming, her hair looked just to be cosmetic, her hair looked great, she looked great. Can she soften her image from the more strident Hillary and do well without it?
HERBERT: Actually, Hillary has been very, very impressive, and here in New York, we've watched her grow in the Senate. And so, she's got a command of the television camera when she talks now, she's got a command of the room if you see her in person. I mean, her political skills may be, in my opinion, a little bit higher or better than a lot of people are giving her credit for.
MATTHEWS: But do you still think she's -- do you still think she runs into a buzz saw of opposition?
HERBERT: Oh, I think there's no question about that. I mean, for any woman to become president, I've been saying, sort of, the stars have to be perfectly aligned. Everything has to be just right because I think it's tough for a woman to win at all, although I do think that it's possible. I don't think the stars are perfectly aligned for Hillary.
O'BEIRNE: Although, look what she did early in this interview. Bob, I don't disagree with you that it's particularly challenging for a woman. But given her previous image, I thought she went out of her way in this Today interview to talk about the kids, as a parent, as a mom --
MATTHEWS: Is she a convincing mom?
O'BEIRNE: I ask myself --
MATTHEWS: Is she a convincing mom?
O'BEIRNE: She's certainly trying to be. I think she appreciates that a whole lot of women who aren't all that liberal and maybe don't -- are not necessarily on board because of her role model aspect of this are a little distrustful of Hillary Clinton. I think they might --
MATTHEWS: Well, should they be?
O'BEIRNE: I think they fear --
MATTHEWS: -- she lets her husband get away with what he's gotten away with? Don't women resent that?
O'BEIRNE: No, I think -- I think a different problem is there, too, that she might look sort of down on them.

Giving his fans a little boost heading into the weekend, Phillip Phillips showed up at Rockefeller Plaza for an electrifying performance on "Today" this morning (June 27).
The "Home" singer played his new hit "Raging Fire" as well as "Gone Gone Gone," and in between songs he chatted with Matt Lauer about his new album Behind the Light.
After health issues plagued his run on "American Idol" last year, season 11 winner Phillip Phillips has cancelled the remaining stops on his current tour.
The 22-year-old musician announced via Facebook on Monday (May 6), "Hey guys, due to doctor's orders I have to postpone my last few tour dates. They will be rescheduled! Looking forward to seeing you all on the John Mayer tour this summer!"
With his debut album raking in more than 500,000 sales, Phillip Phillips took a break from the studio life to cover the latest issue of Billboard magazine.
He's been hard at work on his first album ever since winning Season 11 of "American Idol," and finally Phillip Phillips has announced a release date.
The 22-year-old singer will drop The World From The Side of the Moon on November 19th, the same day as Kelly Clarkson's greatest hits record.
Fulfilling one of his childhood dreams, Phillip Phillips was on hand to perform at the 2012 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night (July 10).
The "American Idol" winner performed his single "Home" to a riveted crowd at the Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO and afterwards he tweeted, "Wow that was awesome! Hahha."
After undergoing quite the risky surgery to remove kidney stones just two weeks ago, Phillip Phillips is getting back to what he loves most: the music.
Last night (June 22), the "American Idol" winner took to his Twitter page showing that he's getting back in the studio writing, "Had a blast in the studio with (musician Ben Neil) today. It's coming along, it's coming along. Yep."
He's had quite a year- on one hand he's the reigning American Idol champion, but on the other he's been sacked with kidney stone issues - and Phillip Phillips is finally on the road to normalcy.
The 21-year-old singer was released from a California hospital four days after undergoing kidney surgery, and he's feeling optimistic about his budding music career.
After enduring months of excruciating pain to stay in the competition for season 11 of "American Idol", it looks like Phillip Philips will once again have to delay an extremely important kidney surgery.
Due to massive stones in his right kidney the 21-year-old was set to go under the knife on Wednesday (May 29), but due to a sinus infection that caused him to have a high temperature doctors advised that he delay.

There are an infinite number of inspirational scientific journeys awaiting out there, and not all of them require looking up.
Tony Rothman
In July 1969 I spent 14 straight hours glued in front of not one but two televisions, so as not to miss a moment of the first lunar landing. My captivation was more than that of a scientifically inclined youngster; it was a Great Adventure shared with hundreds of millions of other people around the world. Due to the inspiration provided by the space program, an overdose of speculative fiction, and a physicist parent, I ended up pursuing a career in relativity and cosmology. Yet 40 years down the road, when NASA announces the latest discovery of water on (your favorite planetary body here), my first response is an involuntary shudder.
The Pavlovian reflex has arisen over the decades largely in reaction to NASA's propensity for outrageous hype. A crucial instance for me took place in 1994, when Daniel Goldin, then NASA's chief administrator, advocated the construction of a lunar-based observatory to search for Earth-like planets on the grounds that their discovery "might inspire us to invent warp drives." At that moment I parted universes with NASA. Mine was and remains ruled by physics; Goldin's was evidently ruled by Star Trek. I felt ashamed that one of the country's top scientific leaders could propose violating the laws of nature as an argument to secure funding.
A more public embarrassment followed two years later, when NASA unleashed a scientific derecho over the country by announcing meteoric evidence for life on Mars. So inflated were the claims of microscopic fossils, announced with velvet and trumpets at a Washington, D.C., press conference, that every one of my colleagues immediately assumed it was a bid for money. The squall passed as quickly as the claims were discredited, but it confirmed what was by then blindingly clear: NASA's raison d'être in the post-Apollo era is the discovery of extraterrestrial life. That motivation is inherently problematic. There is fantasy, there is adventure, and there is science, and we have never learned where one leaves off and the others begin.
NASA uncomfortably straddles all three terrains, and yet space boosters have had remarkable success in monopolizing the concept of Great Adventure. Doubling NASA's budget, according to my friend Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the director of the Hayden Planetarium, would "transform the country from a sullen, dispirited nation, weary of economic struggle, to one where it has reclaimed its 20th century birthright to dream of tomorrow." Neil's words could easily have come, with slightly more sobriety, from the lunch-table conversations at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia, where I worked for a few summers in the 1970s and where the discovery of extraterrestrial life was viewed as potentially the most important event in the history of humankind.
The discovery of extraterrestrial life would surely have profound philosophical effects. Nevertheless, I recoil at the notion that space is not just the final frontier but the only frontier. It is not entirely clear whether the relative banishment of other endeavors to the shadows is due to the spotlight NASA's agency-sized publicity budget casts on an already romantic cause, or due to the dismal failure of proponents of those other undertakings to adequately promote them. What is clear is that the concept of adventure must be broadened, and that requires more distinctly perceiving the indistinct borders separating fantasy, hype, starry-eyed romanticism, and science.

Lucas: Johnson Adapting Quickly
There wasn't much to rave about from Tuesday night's 83-59 loss at Indiana, so it was reasonable to expect that the play of Brice Johnson-10 points in 16 minutes on 5-of-7 shooting from the field-might be one of the highlights of Roy Williams's postgame press conference.
But the Tar Heel head coach had just absorbed a 24-point whipping, so he wasn't exactly in the mood to heap praise on his freshman.
"He was in the right spot at the right time," Williams said of Johnson's production.
Well, that's partly true. One of Johnson's hoops came when he grabbed a loose ball and scored without much Indiana resistance. Then again, he was the one who put himself in position to be near the goal, in scoring range, when the ball was knocked free.
And one of the most encouraging plays of a discouraging game came late in the first half, when the Hoosiers had opened a nine-point lead and the sellout Assembly Hall crowd was roaring. It felt like a tipping point in the game, a time when Carolina needed someone to step forward and take-and make-a big shot. Again, there was Johnson, dropping through a soft baseline jumper, trimming the deficit back to seven and temporarily halting the Indianan onslaught. It wasn't just that he made it, although his shooting stroke has been impressive. It was that he had the courage to take it, on the road, against the nation's top-ranked team.
At 61.7%, the South Carolina native currently leads the Tar Heels in field goal percentage, and he's scoring 0.63 points per minute played, which trails only P.J. Hairston. In the paint, he's looked fluid, and there have been several occasions already this year when he's posted up and then made a quick post move, getting the ball to the rim before his defender can react.
It might surprise you, then, that Johnson says making those decisive moves isn't something that comes naturally.
"That's only something I've learned since I've been at Carolina," he says. "In high school, I never really had to post up. I just got rebounds and put it back. But since I got here, Coach Williams and Coach McGrath have been working with me on making a quick move and not hesitating. I've been working on my post moves before every practice."
He already has a good foundation to build on, because Johnson is the son of a coach-his father, Herman Johnson, was his coach at Edisto High in Cordova, S.C. See that soft touch when the younger Johnson gets the ball to the rim? That's the product of his father's teaching, in skills sessions they've been doing together as long as Brice can remember.
"I used to shoot it too hard," he says. "My dad showed me how to hold it with one hand and shoot it, and told me I had to put a soft touch on it. Since then, I've been doing it the way he showed me."
The son-of-a-coach background-remember, having so many players with hoops backgrounds was often mentioned by Williams as one of his favorite parts of the Hansbrough-Frasor-Green-Ginyard class-means Johnson arrived at Carolina with a head start on basketball IQ. There have been only two areas in which he's struggled since becoming a Tar Heel: snorkeling and defense.
The former happened in Maui, when the entire team went out on a boat to enjoy their Thanksgiving together. There wasn't exactly time to provide an in-depth snorkeling primer, and there aren't many places to snorkel in Cordova, so Johnson struggled with the whole don't-breathe-through-your-nose aspect. He promises he'll be a pro on his next trip (Carolina is slated to play in the Bahamas in November 2014, so he has time to practice).
Defensively, the 187-pound Johnson has been pushed around some in the paint, and he was beaten back in transition on multiple occasions at Indiana. Just as he's having to adapt his offensive game to the new demands of being a Tar Heel post player, he's also trying to make progress defensively.
"The players I'm guarding here are a lot bigger than in high school," he says. "I have to learn how to guard guys who are my size or bigger, and that's not something I've ever had to do before. I can't let myself get pinned down low. I know how to move, and I have to figure out how to use my quickness defensively."

text: Interestingly enough, the Pistons made the same number of baskets as the Bobcats - both teams had 39. The Pistons, however, got their buckets on 23 more field goal attempts. How did this happen? Two ways: 1) Drummond's 11 offensive rebounds turned missed shots into second possessions, and 2) Charlotte had 14 more free throw attempts (fouled shot attempts aren't FGAs and become FTs) Both Monroe and Drummond were great, going a combined 16/31 with 34 points and 32 rebounds. Those 34 points on 31 shots basically neutralized Al Jefferson's 32 points on 28 shots (actually, as good a game as Jefferson looks like he had, that wasn't a crazy ratio). So how about the rest of the team? Well, Jennings and Walker basically countered each other with 22 and 24 points, respectively. Singler had as many buckets as Gilchrist and Henderson combined (5/9 Singler, 5/10 combined for the other two), although those two guys made 9 FTs to Singler's 0 (and therefore outscored him 19-13). Be that as it may, those four starters for each team effectively countered each other all out; Drummond, Monroe, Singler, and Jennings combined for 71 points on 28/58 shooting, while Walker, Gilchrist, Henderson, and Jefferson combined for 73 points on 28/54 shooting. Then you look at McRoberts vs. Smith and the Pistons' bench vs. Charlotte's bench. While the Joshes scored about the same number of points (14 to 12), Smith got his on 17 shots while McRoberts got his on 5. 5 shots. All three-pointers. If Smith hits three more of his shots he's at 18 points while still under 50%, and the game is a lot closer. The other culprit? The bench. Stuckey was responsible for 10 misses and 1 make. Even with Drummond grabbing over 20% of the available rebounds, Stuckey dropping a giant egg like that hurts the team. Without three-point or free-throw shooters, the team has to shoot well and grab misses more effectively than other teams if they want to have a chance to win. You can't have a guy miss 10 shots. Ever. And it's not like Stuckey's good enough on the defensive end to in any way make up for that. Bynum was okay offensively, going 9/6, but the dude just doesn't have a clue on defense. It's like he doesn't even try. He was standing still in that zone in the fourth (that seemed to help limit Jefferson, btw, and when they're running the big three they might want to break it out more on occasion since they'll always have a good weakside rim-protector down low and can't defend the perimeter anyway). Pope did nothing in his 10 minutes. Seriously: 10 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -2 0 Enjoy that line while you see it because it's rare. So Jefferson wasn't exactly unstoppable, and Detroit did a decent chance of containing him even though he had 32/12, and Walker had a moderately good 22/7 game. Stuckey and Smith killed Detroit offensively yesterday, taking bad shot after bad shot, and there was no way that Drummond could make up for all of that inaccuracy. Jennings, for his part, looks depressed out there. It's clear that he misses Cheeks, and is probably angry that Cheeks was thrown under the bus for the team not improving when it's clear that he is. He took that frustration tech at the end, and I get the feeling that he realizes that his teammates aren't playing hard. He has to know how important these two games are for the season, and if they lose both, given the schedule difference the rest of the way, the playoffs become a huge longshot. P.S. The Pistons only had 7 turnovers. That's not bad.


text: Gotta separate the 2 "Joes". Joe has made some mistakes as a GM (understatement alert). But was also steering the ship in '04. That championship against the HOF'er stacked Lakers was unexpected and awesome! Joe had a plan and it worked. I'm willing to cut Joe some slack for the past few years. For me, his next few years will define his legacy as a GM. For the record, Joe is my all-time favorite player as well. All of the Rip Hamilton contract extensions, Darko drafts and CV free-agent signings in the world couldn't change that.

2008 Hyundai Tiburon Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors are becoming more and more popular everyday. They have the looks of a drilled and slotted rotor without the drilled holes. Instead of drilling all the way through they just put dimples on the rotor so you get the cooling efficiency of a drilled rotor with the crack resistance of a non drilled rotor. It's the best of both worlds
Performance has never looked so good with the EBC Dimpled & Slotted Brake Rotors. Why should you have to compromise good looks for performance or the other way around, but with Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors you can finally get both.
We know choosing the right 2008 Hyundai TiburonBrake Rotors for your needs can be kind of tedious and sometimes frustrating. So feel free to give us a call and we can help you choose the right Brake Rotors and even Brake Pads for your vehicle. So call now, we have professional brake technicians standing by ready to answer any questions you may have! 888-257-7149

I am more interested in seeing how the dome gets put together
I am more interested in seeing how the dome gets put together
Whoa... that is just awesome. If it's not too much trouble, could I ask for a tutorial on this?
Here is another small update shot with the dome in place. Not totally happy with it yet. I'm thinking that carving it
out of foam and fiberglassing it would be the best way to go, but it can be done.

holy dragonslayer sword
that is fantasmal!
Yup, yup. The batting helmet seems to be working well. I got the biggest helmet on the market, so I only widened/lengthened mine 1" in each direction.
I'll print up your templates today and see how my bucket measures up. I'll try to post pics, too.
After playing with your PDF files in Photoshop, I found if I enlarge them to 112.7%, my dome bottom fits your template front and back, and side to side. The only real difference I see is in the back. My rear "corners" have a tighter radius than yours, so my dome sits inside your template there. But it's darn close.
Ok. So I was a tad toooo precise in my calculations. 112.7% was a touch too small. I'll make everything 113% and I should be golden. My dome base is 271 mm front to back, and 247.5 side to side.
It's gonna be a big bucket...
Wow! That is going to be a big bucket. For may personal bucket I had to go to 105% to get is so that I have about 1/4" between my nose and the visor.
Please post pics, can't wait to see it.
i was wondering what thickness should be used for each of the main layers, specifically pages 6-7?
Last edited by protoFett; Jan 21, 2006 at 3:17 PM.
I had planned on using .080" thick material for my build. Here is the link to the US Plastic's page:
You can probably get away with .120", but you will have to account for the extra material thickness, you can make the parts a little longer and trim the excess once you have the pieces assembled.
Hope this helps.
Kripps - That is looking goood!! I may just have to give the batting helmet a try myself.
I've been printing templates all weekend and tweaking them. I just can't get them to mate properly with my dome bottom. The flair just isn;t working out for me. I think the problem may be that I am trying to do the back as one half. Then I was going to do the front.
I'm going to regroup, and try a template that wraps around from the front, with a seam in back. I think one piece will be more fogiving when I try to make the front and rear planes striaght, and flair the sides.
I know what you mean when you talk about wrapping the back as one piece. Very hard. I will make my seam at the center rear of the helm.
I plan on attaching a few pieces of small plastic from the inside of the dome to glue the sides to so I don't have to worry about a perfect mate to the base of the dome.
This is trimmed now at what looks to be proper height......side and front profile shots. Looks about right.
well i was wondering since on the backs of the ear you can see the raised section has a certain depth and i was wondering what it was, maybe i need to post picswizardofflight said:
Kripps & kibosh - I would start from the front with the seam in the back. Since we are not working with perfect circles the patterns had to be tweaked quite a bit to match the oblong oval of the dome. So depending on the shape of the dome and the flare things may not match up exactly. The seam in the back will end up being obliterated by the keyslot insert anyway. Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific in the templates.
protoFett - What I had envisioned is that the helmet would be built up in layers. The inner surface goes on first (this surface is exposed in the back of the helmet behind the ears). The outer surface then is laid over the inner surface. Now the area behind the ears for the otter layer is removed once you have it formed to the proper shape. I found it easier to heat shape the plastic first then remove the extra material. Once you cut this area out you can then bond it to the inner surface. For the visor opening, the plan was to cut it out once everything was bonded together
Sorry for all the confusion guys. It looks like I really need to get a tutorial done for these templates. I made too many assumptions and didn't make it clear what my intentions were.
Believe it or not, I assumed correctly how you intended it to go on. I for some reason thought it would be easier to add the ear base and back as a first layer. Clearly not the way to go.
I think one piece will be best, and what you descibed is exactly what I will do. One layer all the way around first. The I'll cut out the cheekbones. Then, wrap a second slightly larger piece around that to form it. Remove second layer, cut out rear section and cheek bones. Attach over first piece. This will give me the raised brow, and raised ear bases.
I think I'll trim the visor slot on the interior piece slightly larger than the exterior one. That will give me a good lip to mount too.
We'll see how it goes!
i am sorry if i am confusing anybody, taking a look at bobamakers helmet detail 5
(if bm has a problem with posting let me know)
i was just curious as to thickness of the outer layer as far as the real helmet. it looks like maybe 1/16 but i could be wrong
for accuracy buffs it may not be too hard to modify the templates to add the "defects"
kibosh - Excellent idea on the visor I'll have to incorporate that in to the tutorial.
protoFett - No, it was my confusion. I missed that detail completely I will update the templates. Thank you. This kind of feedback is great, keeps me honest. The exact thickness is difficult to determine from photos 1/16" (.0625) should work fine, I prefer .080" because it will give me more material for battle damage and sanding and of course mistakes.
PF, are you asking how thick the red base is that the ear pieces get mounted onto? If so, I'm just making mine 3 mm because that's the thickness sintra I have.
Any progress on the tutorial Alan? I'm looking to tackle this, but right now I have a ton of questions as this would be my first helmet buildup. Thanks for the blueprints.
Sorry for all the confusion guys. It looks like I really need to get a tutorial done for these templates. I made too many assumptions and didn't make it clear what my intentions were.
OMG....Alan this is amazing. I'm blown away by what you did here. How would you fiberglass that? i never used fiberglass before...so you smear that on top of it? would bondo work as well?
Sorry things are on hold for the time being. I'm in the middle of going through the adoption of my son.
Please stay tuned.
Outstanding work Alan! Your selfless contributions have helped so many of us and continue to do so! Thanks for sharing your research and hard work!

As capitalist economies collapse, as unemployment soars to new levels, there remains the case of Norway which is based on Socialist principles and had endured the crisis without encountering the problems of capitalism. Several economists are now returning to the ideas of Karl Marx in order to re-think his comments concerning the destiny of capitalism. A difficulty in discussing "Socialism" with modern people is their confusion concerning the term. Many associate "Socialism" with the USSR which used that expression or NAZI Germany which used the expression. This is akin to saying: "Christians conducted the Inquisition. Christians committed genocide in the New World, therefore, all Christians are guilty of genocide and believe in the Inquisition." There are Christians and there are Christians. Make a list of people who refer to themselves as "Christian" and have absolutely nothing in common with one another.
Marx was NOT the initial Socialist. There were "Utopian Socialists" prior to him and he hated Utopian Socialists. Several Utopian Socialists experiments were attempted in America during the 19th century. Among the best selling books in 19th century America was Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward" which describes a free Socialist America in 2000 which has eliminated poverty. Marx accurately identified that Capitalists were greedy and exploited people creating the concept of 'alienation' of the worker from his/her work. He described the spread of globalization and competition between capitalists in the world–certainly his prediction is accurate. He predicted there would be rising unemployment and urged a society in which the needs of workers would be protected from the evil of exploitation. He misinterpreted the ability of some capitalists to recognize workers needed decent pay in order to purchase products. But, has not the greed of Wall Street exemplified his belief the first priority of capitalists is their own welfare, not that of society or those who do the work of in society?
My comments are simplistic and reduce complexity of economics to a few cliches,(sorry, Marx can not be explained in a sentence or so),but how do critics of Socialism explain that Norway has been using Socialist principles and has created a modern society which provides a high standard of living and the government runs a surplus including a $300 billion fund to invest for the future? In Capitalist America, 45 million people lack medical care, in Capitalistic America there is no free early childhood care, in Capitalist America there are no paid paternity and maternity leaves for couples, in Capitalist America there is no base economic security for those who lose their jobs.
The future will eventually lead to combining the best features of Capitalism with the best features of socialism. In the first decade of the 20th century, the American Socialist Party led by Gene Debs urged addressing the ills of capitalism without calling for its end. It was Gene Debs who opposed the madness of America's blunder in entering World War I rather than seeking to end the fighting. And, Gene Debs remains the only presidential candidate in American history who was imprisoned for opposing a war.
Perhaps, it is time to study what is beneficial in Norway and apply some of those principles in order to save capitalism from its own greed. Who today can deny that Marx was right about the inherent selfishness and greed of capitalists? I have a hunch those being fired would prefer a dose of socialism that would provide them a decent unemployment package, including access to medical care.

The "Some People" Who Criticized Romney On China? Sen. Marco Rubio
At tonight's presidential debate [1], moderator Bob Schieffer asked Mitt Romney about his statement that he would declare China a currency manipulator his first day in office: "If you declare them a currency manipulator on day one, some people are saying you're just going to start a trade war with China on day one. Is that -- isn't there a risk that that could happen?" It's curious that Schieffer characterized this criticism as coming from "some people" when it was made directly to Schieffer himself yesterday morning by none other than Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), one of Romney's chief surrogates.
Appearing on CBS' Face The Nation Sunday, Rubio told Schieffer regarding labeling China a currency manipulator: "A trade war is not the right way to approach it and I think that if you label them a currency manipulator, that's what it may result in, it would hurt American businesses."
Again, Rubio is a top Romney campaign surrogate and an important Republican voice on Capitol Hill. Seems like Schieffer should have mentioned the source of that China criticism.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
i've only had one spayed bitch and no, no bleeding. My others were about every 6-8 months and they never have cycled together. years and years, never and someone posted a question about it like 2 months ago and I answered as such.
Guess who has two bitches in heat right now
anyway, we don't have carpet. All tile and hardwood. I just have to clean it up. It doesn't gross me out, my wife isn't thrilled, but accepts it. She married me, so apparently she has a high threshold for tolerating things she doesn't really like
For a good part of it the dogs keep themselves pretty clean and diapers aren't an option here. Not unless I want to deal with shredded diapers on a daily basis. I'd rather wipe up little spots occasionaly
|We went over puppy first cycle and now getting ready for second. First was a bit messy but not too much, we use diapers and liners while at hoemat night as our puppy is free to roam in the house and we do have carpets on upper leve and lower level of the house. She had no issues with diapers at all, we did change liners frequently as neccessary and washed piapers as well. She was pretty good overall, and we were very dilligent on walks to stay away from dogs that were intact. never left her oustside unattended. It is only about two weeks so not too bad overall.
Perhaps every 6-8 months....my bitch goes into heat closer to every 8 months. The amount of blood drops are minimal in her case....she usually cleans herself...licking herself.
"A female dog is diestrous and goes into heat typically twice every year, although some breeds typically have one or three cycles a year. The proestrus is relatively long at 57 days (9 days), while the estrus may last 413 days, with a diestrus of 60 days followed by about 90150 days of anestrus. Female dogs bleed during estrus, which usually lasts from 713 days, depending on the size and maturity of the dog. Ovulation occurs 2448 hours after the luteinizing hormone peak, which is somewhere around the fourth day of estrus; therefore, this is the best time to begin breeding."
The previous two females I had which were spayed never had any bleeding.
My current bitch I do not put diapers on or anything similar. However, I do pay attention to any blood drops that she doesn't clean up herself....perhaps I clean up 4-8 little drops a day.
My current shep's estrous cycle is a non-issue basically EXCEPT making certain she does not get impregnated via the gentleman callers from around the neighborhood.
Females cycles
I was not able to find much information on this but I was wondering if you get a female dog, do they have monthly cycles and how much bleeding is involved? How often does this happen and most importantly, does any bleeding happen if the female is spayed?
How do people generally deal with this, other than putting diapers on their dog?

Today is National Threatened Species Day - Landscape Architect, ANDREW LAIDLAW, talked about some of the Victorian collection the Royal Botanic Gardens has been keeping in recent years.
We also featured one of the Open Gardens, open to the public this weekend, Southdown at 7 Yal Yal Rd, Merricks. It is a plantsmans garden and a treasure trove of interesting species with spectacular views across Westernport to Phillip Island.
The garden was started by the current owner's parents, in 1975. From a completely bare four-acre paddock, with wonderful views across Westernport Bay, the past and present owners have transformed this blank canvass into a wonderful garden. The mature native and exotic trees planted in the early years are the main feature of the garden and form its backbone. Newer plantings compliment the original garden.
This garden was one of the original gardens open under the 'Open Garden Scheme' and has matured and changed greatly since then.
One of the main criteria in replacing plants has been to make sure that the views are not lost. The Eucalyptus nicholii at the bottom of the main lawn is given a regular haircut and the camellias at the front of the house are kept low.
In early spring natives including boronias and wattles join the flowers of camellias, magnolias, crabapples, bulbs and hellebores. Southdown holds the Garden Plant Conservation Association of Australia collection of cistus or rock roses, and these are also starting to flower.
Southdown will be open between 10am and 4.30pm on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 September. Entry: $7.00. Children under 18 are admitted free. The local Red Cross will be serving food and refreshments. Plants will also be for sale.

Hey guys!
just wanted to show you my finished Boba boots for my ROTJ costume.
To make a long story short, I couldn't afford the $90 CA boots, so I went to Khols and bought a pair of leather boots for 15 bucks, got some thin leather edging, some citadel paints and this is what happened.
The overall cost was roughly $25. I'm working on the toe spikes currently, so stay tuned for future pics!

Do you ever get frustrated because it seems like your iPod is "tied" to the computer that you sync it with? I know I do! I mean, you can't add, delete, or download music and videos from an iPod unless it is plugged into your very own computer. If you are using a work, school, or public computer, it won't recognize your iPod when you connect it. It seems like you're outta luck… or are you?
I discovered this great freeware program called SharePod that finally lets your iPod off its leash! Once you run it (no installation needed), it acts as a mini-iTunes program. You can play, edit, add, and delete music, videos, and playlists from any computer in the world. That's not all; it can also act as an iPod backup utility. After you try it out, you'll wonder how you ever used your iPod without it! Let's give it a spin now!
Head on over to sharepod, to get started. To begin, click the Download link and select Save.
Before you open the program, plug in your iPod with the USB cord, so SharePod can recognize it.
SharePod comes in a compressed folder. Extract the contents, and then double click the Sharepod.exe icon.
SharePod's interface will open up, with your iPod listed and all of the music on it as well. Pretty spiffy, eh?
Like I said earlier, SharePod has all the functionality of iTunes. Double click on a song to begin playing some tunes!
You can right click on songs, and choose Properties and edit song information or add artwork, if you'd like.
Now comes the fun part! Let's say you were at a friend's house and you wanted to snag a couple of their songs and put them on your iPod. With SharePod you can; first choose Copy to iPod from the toolbar, and click Add files.
Just highlight the files you'd like to transfer, and select OK. It's that easy!
How about if your buddy wanted to save some songs from your iPod onto their PC? Select the media files and hit Copy to PC. All you have to do now is decide on a destination folder and naming format, and voila! Your files are transferred!
Remember that both the Copy to iPod and Copy to PC features will work on any computer, anywhere, at any time.
The last neat thing I want to show you about SharePod is the backup feature. Imagine this scenario: In a freak accident, your computer becomes infected! Important documents and data are saved on the backup drive, but your gigabytes of movies and music are all gone, except for your copy on your iPod! With SharePod, you can retrieve all of your media, and your collection will be good as new!
It's a two click process. Click the BackUp iPod button on the toolbar. Once again, select your destination folder and the format that you want the files to be named in. Then click OK and your entire iPod's contents will begin copying.
One final word of advice – When you go to Start, then My Computer, you will see your iPod listed as a drive. I like to keep my SharePod.exe saved in the drive, so when I plug my iPod into another computer I don't have to re-download SharePod from the internet. I recommend you do it too; just drag and drop the icon into the iPod drive.
I hope you'll enjoy SharePod as much as I do! As always, if you ever encounter any problems and have questions, the Worldstart team is always here to help.

|You need to measure the diameter of the crankshaft journal, and then measure the diameter of the main bore with the bearings in it (or measure the main bore and bearings separately). Same thing with the rod journals. You can also use plastigage to get a rough idea of the clearance if you can't measure it. You want to know how much space there is between the crankshaft and the bearing, should be about 0.002".
hi i just got back from the machinists
cam bearings are standard
main and rod bearings are .020
is that right ?
i got my stock pump today
i have 2 now
HV pump
Stock pump
i will install the stock one
what u think ?
|If your bearing clearences are big, like .003" then the high volume pump will help your oil pressure at idle.
|cliff tate
|I have a hv pump in my sbc, oil pressure is great and I have never had any problem when just cruising around or going all out with it. just my $.02, your results may vary...
The engine is a controlled oil leak, the pump cannot develop any pressure until the volume it's putting out exceeds the volume that can leak thru the clearances. To get more pressure, it has to deliver more volume. Ultimately pressure is controlled by the volume leak past clearances and the a "relief valve". The relief valve adds to the leakage past the clearances thus maintaining a certain pressure.
Pressure is variable to the viscosity (weight) of oil used, the temperature of the oil, and the speed of the pump. Starting backwards, at idle the pump is turning slowly and pressure will be less, so much so, that when the engine is hot the relief valve is probably closed and pressure is simply established by the leakage thru the clearances. Conversely, at high speed the pressure increases because the pump is pushing more oil (volume) into the engine. At some point the volume/pressure will exceed the relief valve's spring and it will be pushed open reducing system volume and pressure. This is also affected by the thickness of the oil. Cold oil of any given "weight" has more viscosity or thickness than when hot. The thickness of the oil determines how fast both the pump can pick it out of the pan and how fast it leaks past the clearances. Thick oil results in abnormally high pressure at the pump which causes the relief valve to open. As the oil heats, it becomes thinner which is easier for the pump to pick out of the pan and it leaks faster thru the clearances. This reduces pressure and it's highly likely that the pressure relief valve will close. The same thing happens for the weight of oil in regard to leakage past the clearances and the setting of the pressure relief valve. All these variables occur at the same time.
Note that the relationship of pressure and volume is different in an engine than in a closed hydraulic system, because an engine constantly leaks oil, a hydraulic system doesn't or at least isn't supposed to leak.
A high volume pump given say a relief valve setting of 60 psi, will provide a higher hot idle pressure because of the excess volume it moves at any given speed. This is important for a competition or other hard working engine as normal idle oil pressures tend to be low and don't provide enough protection when a high load is suddenly dumped on the engine till enough RPM is built high enough to supply relief valve pressure on the system. This is a case of being able to momentarily overrun the oil supply at the bearings. The down side of a high volume pump is at high speed where there is so much excess flow from the pump the relief valve is always open to vent off the excess volume and pressure. This uses a lot engine power for no useful purpose and heats the oil unnecessarily.
A high pressure pump assumes that the volume it can deliver is far above the engines clearance leakage rate, a stiffer spring is used in the relief valve. This may prove to be an ultimate pressure that can't be achieved till the engine, thus the pump, is spinning quite fast. Again there are several variables occurring at one. Not only is the oil's thickness a concern in the ultimate pump output but so is the pumps capacity which is variable by it's operating speed and its size. Faster delivers more oil than slower. Bigger delivers more oil than smaller.
In the end pressure comes down to how much more oil the pump can deliver into the oil galleys against how fast it leaks past the clearances. Given everything above this paragraph, larger clearances leak more oil than tight clearances. This and pump wear is why a high mileage car will have lower oil pressure than when it was new. This is why or at least one reason why, a competition engine with wide clearances needs a larger volume pump to maintain sufficient pressure against the greater leakage. The other reason for a competition engine is that pressure gap between idle or dropped throttle oil pressure and the sudden need under hard acceleration, this gets into gear selection among other things. Take a road racer that comes of the corner in to high a gear, the engine has too few revs and is suddenly exposed to a fully open throttle. It's very possible that the high lugging load will blow the oil out of the rods and that the pump will not yet be supplying enough volume to make up the loss. Next thing you know it spun a bearing or worse.
For me, I build engines with excess oil pump capacity and my customers live with the slight power loss and an oil cooler. I have found over the years that this results in a lot fewer crankshaft bearing failures. I like to see about 40-45 psi at a hot idle rather than the factory's 15 to 20. For a street engine I usually pop off the relief at 60-70. Beyond that subscription to 10-15 psi per 1000 RPM above 6000 is OK. I run blower and nitrous engines about 10 psi higher in all cases since these devices can really put a lot of load on the rods and mains very quickly.

What you will see with the high volume pump is higher pressure at idle and low load conditions. Assuming you use a standard pressure spring it will bypass the extra volume at the the rated pressure just like a standard volume pump would. Basically no drawback then with a high volume pump and standard pressure spring.
There should be two springs included with your pump, assuming you order the same ones we do.
They are most definately two different things.
Volume is the amount of oil that is pumped
Pressure is the PSI of the oil that is being pumped
Below shows where the flash was on the BBC it didn't take much to remove it, you can also smooth out the rough casting in the lifter valley. to give the oil a smooth path back to the pan...some people even coat it.
There are also places in the head that you can do, the holes where you can see down into the lifter valley usually can be opened a bit.
wait wait ...
High pressure or High volume ?
or its the same thing ?
It also depends on the engine. For instance, chevys with their priority main oiling, high volume is great. It doesn't necessarily need high volume, but it can be a nice safety margin. For BBFs with proirity cam oiling, the mains sometimes get starved and I'd rather see a high pressure pump in them for performance applications.
But; here's my probem with high pressure oil. 60-70 psi is all you need for 7000 rpms. Anything higher than that and the bypass valve will open and send oil around the filter. That means the engine is getting unfiltered oil. You can change the bypass spring pressure to prevent the valve from opening, but 80 psi is about the point where filters explode or the o-ring seals blow out.
High pressure is typically reserved for really high RPM applications like racing. 10 psi per 1000 rpms is all you need, so unless you're revving over 7000 rpms, don't worry about it.
which casting flash ?
I know it is a good idea in big block chevy's, high pressure...no, high volume...yes.
I increased the flow of oil to the heads to better lube the roller rockers and valves/retainers/ and so I only run about 50 psi, but you can be sure oil is flowing like crazy to all the other parts.
But with .0015-.002 clearances on the small blocks I have built I have never had a problem with the standard pumps. They run 60-70 psi all day long, I usually eliminate the casting flash in the oil galleries and return valleys so that the oil returns to the pan faster though.

We live in a world of blockbuster movies. And high school students often prove to be the biggest audiences for films that are often little more than comic book fluff.
That's why Dane Flitton, a Highland High senior and young filmmaker, found attending last year's high school screenings that were part of the Sundance Film Festival so interesting.
He and some other students who are members of Sue Tice's advanced filmmaking class at Highland saw the documentary "Chasing Ice" about melting glaciers around the world last year. They will be seeing "Pandora's Promise" this year. It's another documentary that shows the benefits of nuclear power.
"You don't get to see very many documentaries," said Flitton. "The media world tends to look at blockbuster movies. When you see a documentary and have a good experience, you get moved by what you see."
Tice said Sundance often opens the eyes up of her students to the possibilities of making a documentary.
"A good documentary told in a compelling way can help inspire young filmmakers taking a class," she said.
Movies made by independent filmmakers can also inspire students to produce their own. Flitton is already writing a fictional script that he hopes might be made into a film. And he is gearing his college career, which begins next year, toward filmmaking.
Such stories don't surprise Merdith Lavitt, director of Sundance's Film Forward Initiative, which has helped bring age-appropriate festival movies and their stars and makers to between 5,000 and 6,000 Wasatch Front high school students a year since 2000.
She tells the story of a young woman filmmaker named Alex Mack who attended a Sundance high school screening with Spy Hop Productions, a youth media art center and filmmaking program in Salt Lake City. Mack created a short film called "Mother Superior" that screened at Sundance.
Under the high school screening program, Utah students get an opportunity to enjoy a film festival experience, complete with a question-and-answer session after the screening with filmmakers or their representatives. The movies are screened at festival venues, which this year include Rose Wagner in Salt Lake City, the Redstone in Park City and the Egyptian in Ogden.
"We're always interested in reaching new audiences," said Lavitt. "Connecting audiences to artists is part of our mission. This is a great way to do this during the film festival. We introduce the art of independent film to a very young audience."
She said festival organizers make certain that the films are appropriate for high school audiences. A guide issued before the event lists the movies, reveals what might be slightly offensive and offers a synopsis of what they are about.
Looking at this year's list, which is heavy on documentaries, most of the warnings involve the use of mild language. Lavitt said there have been no problems with the screenings since they began, and the program is growing each year.
"We hear every year from filmmakers that this event is among their favorite festival experiences," she said. "These audiences don't have a film festival industry agenda. They are pure and honest with their questions, which is a litmus test for a filmmaker."
Lavitt said some of the question-and-answer sessions can be quite moving.
For example, at a screening of a movie called "Buck" about a horse whisperer who grew up with a father who physically abused him, the protagonist of the movie was there to answer questions. A student who perhaps was hurt by an abusive parent stood up and said, simply, "Thank you for telling my story."
Previously, students saw a movie called "The D Word" about dyslexia done by Sundance founder Robert Redford's son Jamie.
"We had an amazing response to that story," said Lavitt. "Many students talked about how they had dyslexia or some other sort of condition and that this film made them feel normal or smart because they were not alone. We got an amazing response from teachers who grapple with those issues with their students."
"Chasing Ice," the movie Flitton saw last year, also proved to be popular with high school students. Lavitt said many students sent her letters thanking Sundance for the experience that helped open their minds about an issue they did not know much about. They said the movie turned into a dinner table topic of conversation on the importance of being green.
The gift of challenging audiences to look at something differently or to rethink a preconceived notion is part of turning educated students into the world. And this little-known part of Sundance helps introduce high school students to new and sometimes challenging ways to look at their world.

In the midst of war, famine, drought, terrorism, a new controversy has arisen in Germany because an artist displayed his work which includes scenes of corpses having sex with one another. Gunther von Hagens latest exhibition shows two corpses engaged in sex which the artist insists mainly concerns issues of biology and has nothing to do with sex. His picture has drawn protests from politicians anxious to display they are prepared to defend their nation against the rise of corpses, particularly those who still want to spread the evil of sex without marriage. According to MP Fritz Felgentreu, "love and death are obvious topics for art, but I find it quite disgusting to use them in this way." Undoubtedly, the member of parliament will run on a campaign to end sex in the graveyard.
Frankly, if a male corpse can get it up and impregnate a female corpse it proves this particular man really has the ability to keep a firm grip on his body even after death. Arise corpses of the world, you have nothing to lose but your virginity!

text: It's about time to start getting serious about evaluating/discussing prospects for the #9 pick isn't it? Say what you will about him, but year in and year out Chad Ford seems to be the most tapped in of the NBA Mock Drafters, so I'll use his latest mock as a guideline.. Likely gone big men - Anthony Davis (#1), Thomas Robinson (#5), Andre Drummond (#6), Terrence Jones (#7) Likely gone wings/guards - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (#2), Bradley Beal (#3), Harrison Barnes (#4), Dion Waiters (#8) There's always an outside chance that a wing, even a two, even a point that we just can't pass on (ala Brandon Knight) falls into our hands, but I'm going to go ahead and just focus on big men here..and I'm going to list them in the order of m[FONT=Calibri]y preference.[/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][U][B]Me[/B][/U][FONT=Calibri][U][B]yers Leonard[/B][/U] - Far and awa[FONT=Calibri]y m[FONT=Calibri]y favorite prospect of this group, and it's not even close. For the life of me, I can't understand wh[FONT=Calibri]y he's so lowl[FONT=Calibri]y regarded. The main knock on him seems to be that he wasn't consistent. But in the games of his that I saw, I'd sa[FONT=Calibri]y that's on the former idiot coach of Illinois. LEGIT center size and length. Terrific athlete. Good inside scorer. Good mid-range game. Good moves. Good passer. Smart pla[FONT=Calibri]yer. Good rebounder. Good shot blocker. Alwa[FONT=Calibri]ys in position. Ver[FONT=Calibri]y quick. Runs the court well. Pla[FONT=Calibri]ys tough. I think he's the one gu[FONT=Calibri]y on this list with legit all-star potential. If Bruce Weber wasn't such an idiot, he might be the #2 overall pick. [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Calibri][U][B]Jared Sullinger[/B][/U] - I'd be happ[FONT=Calibri]y to add Sullinger. 270lb big mad would add some much needed size. He's a reall[FONT=Calibri]y refined scorer with a lot of skill and moves. Smart pla[FONT=Calibri]yer. Seems hard-working enough. Seems to have some desire. Coach's son. Don't think there's much bust potential. Sort of like an Elton Brand or Carlos Boozer t[FONT=Calibri]ype. He's just such a poor athlete, and [FONT=Calibri]you wonder how that will translate? Not going to help [FONT=Calibri]you out much defensivel[FONT=Calibri]y, other than positioning himself correctl[FONT=Calibri]y and boxing out. Will his shots constantl[FONT=Calibri]y be blocked? I saw Sullinger pla[FONT=Calibri]y about a dozen times at OSU. And there is just something unsettling about him at times. He dissapeared in games and never dominated like he should have been able to. I wouldn't mind adding him, and I'd rather have him than these others listed below..but I wonder for sure.

This is the end of the month.
Apply paint to tape, allow to dry.
"Pride measures prosperity not by her own advantages but by the disadvantages of others. She would not even wish to be a goddess unless there were some wretches left whom she could order about and lord it over, whose misery would make her happiness seem all the more extraordinary, whose poverty can be tormented and exacerbated by a display of her wealth. This infernal serpent, pervading the human heart, keeps men from reforming their lives." Thomas More
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery.
"In the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Thereafter, any attack even on the least of men is an attack on Christ, who took on the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all. Through our relationship with the Incarnation, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our solidarity with all mankind." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A credibility trap is when the managerial functions of a society have been sufficiently compromised by corruption so that the leadership cannot reform, or even honestly address, the problems of that system without implicating a broad swath of the powerful, including themselves.
The moneyed interests and their aspirants tolerate the corruption because they have profited from it, and would like to continue to do so. Discipline is maintained by various forms of soft financial rewards and social coercion."
