an exacto would leave the cuts looking too clean and perfect and non-tattered. if i was you, i would take some rough sandpaper and rough up the fabric in a few spots. you could also mist black and brown spray paint on if from 2-3 feet away.

A wire brush bit on the end of a drill works well, I have also used a propane torch to add "Blaster" holes, gives that burnt edge look.
If you have an ESB cape the best way is to spray paint "fog" it alot,and rip holes,and then open them up by hand.The ends will fray the more you mess with it.Rub in on concrete to give it some more texture too.
If you're doing ROTJ,you can do all the above,but forget about the spray paint part because it's already dark green.
I washed my cape several times to increase the tear effects. Another thing I did was I tied it up in my parent's backyard. The combination of wind and sun damage added a truly natural weathering effect. Plus if I wash it now, the weathering can't be undone by the washing machine.
How about using some sort of acid on the edges of the cloth?
I know if you get battery acid on your cloths it will leave a tattered worn looking hole just a thought
I learned that the hard way with a leather jacket I had in my trunk next to a car battery. Ok, I know that was stupid, but I was in high school at the time. Man, I miss that jacket.Dark1 wrote:How about using some sort of acid on the edges of the cloth?

In making my cape I had cut holes in it randomly and tore slits in it. The best way to make stains was to drip some cooking oil onto it. Then I washed it and the cuts frayed very nicely. Plus you can always use sandpaper to ruff it up and some watered down bleach to fade it a bit. Just some ideas.
Just wondering what the total and final dimesions of the cap are??
or whatever measurments are used to convert it...lol.
Have you checked out Brak's Cape Tutorial?
I know many believe the cape is made from a
half shelter/ pup tent.
But, when researching Fett's drab cape, I found this pic of the army tent:
Take a look at the two seams.
One where the triangle flap is sewn to the large rectangle.
The other being the main visible seam. They appear to be very close together.
Also, take a look at the row of snaps, along the top.
The 2nd (visible) seam falls short of the snap, second from right.
It would appear, that if you drew the imaginary rectangle where the cape would be cut from, the seams are so close together that they would have to be either both in the middle, or both to one side.
Now, take a look at the diagram, from TDH rotj cape tutorial:
This diagram has been drawn with the tent seams far apart,
(as the cape would have).
It shows the visible seam falling well past the 3rd snap.
It appears as though the seams on the actual tent, would not
correspond with a Fett cape.
Has anyone used & cut a real half shelter, for use as a cape?
Do the seams fall in the correct locations?
Here are the pictures TK826 is referring to:
I'm on the look out for one of these myself. As Brak's noted in his tutorial, "Not all military shelter halves have correct stitching! Only about 1 in 10 shelter halves is correct." For this very reason, I am not going to risk buying one of these tents online. Instead, I am going to hit all of the military surplus stores I can until I find the right one. If anybody here finds a DEFINITE source for these, please let me know.
My shelter half's 'middle' seam was not as wide as the one in the diagram, which is like the reference CD photos of the ROTJ cape. I suspect that would be the OLDEST style.
Both the seams on my half were the same 'normal' double seam width, just like on a pair of Levis. I got my half from a surplus type store. It was old and used with holes, so I got just the half I needed and it only cost $8-. Better deal than the new complete shelters, like in the photo here. It appears this photo shows a later generation shelter than mine even. I would now guess that there are at least three variations of these shelters. (I spent many nights while in Ft. Benning in these things, but I can't remember any usable details, as that was back in the late 80's).
If I made another, I'd find an old used one like I did. I'd also cut it an inch or two wider...beyond the seems, because I had trouble making solid seems around the edges AND keeping it the desired width. Mine is about that much narrow, but looks pretty close.
I also suspect that the photo may show one side of the half, while the diagram may show the other, which may be made different. Perhaps someone who bought both sides could shed some light.
Fear not the shelter-half, but choose wisely!
After having bought almost 40 tent halves, I can tell you it id extremely difficult to find ones with the correct seam. First off, it appears that the hlaves were manufactured by more than one company although I can't find a lot of company ID on the halves. Second, there seams to be a number of standard patterns (one is the wide, one is the narrow and one is somewhere in between) but I have also come across a handful that are just completely different from any other. As Boba Fettish said, you absolutely can NOT blindly buy one of these online and expect it to be the right thing and from experience, I can tell you most companies that sell them are not interested in trying to pick out a specific one for you with a specific stiching if they even ever understand what you are talking about. You best bet is to hit the army navy surplus stores... If I can be of any more help, please let me know.
I was watching ROTJ last night and noticed something that I had slipped by me for so long. When Boba reacts to the threat of the thermal detonator, his cape is on his right side. Later on the skiff, it is on the left. I also never noticed that when R2 leaved the sail barge to go to the top deck to launch Luke's saber, Boba suspiciously turns and watches R2 leave. It almost seemed like he knew something was up.
I don't know if these were discussed here or not in the past. If so, just delete.
Actually, the cape switch scene was a total mirrior image. Check out his RF and the Blaster that's now in his left hand and helm side...
Stay safe.
Yeah ive always loved that he looks at R2 like that, i think i read somewhere that he recognized R2 from bespin or something? Also, i dont know if this is right but ive noticed that Fett looks at the screen in every movie. Everybody knows he looks at it in the SE ANH. But also, on SE ROTJ, when hes walking across jabbas bed he turns and looks at the screen. And im not quite sure but i remember when going to see SE ESB at the theater that when Fett is walking down the hall at cloud city in front of han in carbonite, he turns his head to the screen like he notices Luke down the hall. Ive got the 5 star dvd but the pictures still not good enough to tell...or maybe im just going crazy...
Yeap it's a complete frame flip in the Jabba's palace thermal detonator scene.
I didn't see any turn to the screen in the ESB SE Han Carbonite Walk, but the focus is so far away, who knows.
the se is VERY subtle. It's actually in the original version too but you really have to watch it. As Fett hits about mid-screen he turn his head about 45 degrees. Watch the bottom right area of his head, I think that's where it's most noticeable.
I hadn't noticed it until I saw se on the screen, but it is in the original version as well, I've confirmed it.
Subtle isn't the word for it jmp... almost impossible to see is!! However, Fett def does turn his head and look down the hallway. Very very cool..
Here is a closeup of the ESb scene: In the first shot you can clearly see fett's head is in profile. In the second, if you look close you can see the visor is now turned toward the camera.
Although the SE shots are obviously menat to have Fett look at the audience I don't think that is the case with ESb and even if so, I believe this is a much better image of Fett giving us the STARE!
I had no idea that was in ESB. You guys have an awesome eye for detail. BB you never seem to fall short of impressive your pics on hand.
Its almost like Boba knows...
He's hyper-alert with a suit tricked out with all sorts of sensors. Yeah, I'd say he was pretty on top of things...until some blind man hit him with a stick.
The mirror images you see of Fett were done in the film editing room. This helps to set the stage so to speak and provides a better visual "flow" to the action.
Most theatre attendees would never catch it, but when you've watched the movies as many times as we have, you tend to pick up on more and more subtle details with each viewing (and there are LOTS of them). As you know, discoveries are still being made to this day.
Nice pic, Braks's. Now where have I seen that before.....
Hmmmm, don't know BF. It looks very familiar to me. It's a picture I've not seen since....
Well, at least we're not going crazy with the ESB Fett "peek-a-Luke." I really had thought it was in the OT ESB, but it was so subtle watching the SE, that I thought it could be a tilt; it could not be a tilt. I'm sold on the peek through the zoom-in.
Watching that scene in slo-mo, Fett really puts a few shots up Luke's nose. Damn that alive clause...
Supposedly in ROTJ the scene was filmed with Leia supposed to to be on one side. But when they worked it out, JB's movements were to the opposite direction. Therefore they flipped the film, making a mirror image. The biggest proof is the range finder, which is on the left side instead of right throughout that scene.
At least that's what I think I read somewhere

What would you look for in mulch before considering it for gardening activities? Among the many types of mulch presently used, cedar mulch has been known to be among the best. This is perhaps because of the numerous roles the mulch plays once applied on a garden. Here are some advantages of using cedar mulch over all the other types of mulch.
- Cedar mulch stands superior in suppressing weeds
Even though among the main purpose why all types of mulch are applied is for weed suppression, cedar mulch does a much better job. They ensure that there is no weed growing beneath their applied layer thus enhancing a neat appearance of their surrounding landscape.
- Cedar mulch reduce soil erosion
There is no better way of reducing instances of soil erosion than through the use of cedar mulch. Due to human activities and continuous human settlement, most of the natural vegetation has been cleared making soil erosion more rampant. However, when cedar mulch is applied on top of exposed soil, excessive erosion is eradicated.
Aside from preventing erosion, cedar mulch is also great in water preservation within the soil. Its layer prevents the soil from direct sunlight thus minimizes evaporation of retained water from the ground. This ensures that your plants are able to have the needed water for growth for much longer periods after irrigation or rainfall.
- Cedar mulch is not frequently replenished
One of the most important decisions to make when choosing the type of mulch to use during gardening is how often you are able to replenish your mulch. Cedar mulch is preferred by many farmers because it is not frequently replenished. It is an excellent type of mulch to apply to landscape gardens such as perennial flower beds.
- Cedar mulch improves soil structure
When cedar mulch is applied, it helps in improving soil structure because it breaks down over time and becomes part of the soil composition. They also keep flower beds warm ensuring faster growth of flowers while acting as fertilizer in the long run.

Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
Ive had a few Cadillacs in my lifetime. Liked them all but I wish I would have never sold the 1979 Fleetwood I had, I loved that car.
So Ive got the "fever" again, my goal or dream collection is a 79 Coupe, which has come true, another 79 Fleetwood, looking but no money yet and hard too find a nice one. 1990-92 Brougham in mint condition, may not be able to get, I have a 90 that will get painted after I finish painting my truck, and its a good car, but its not mint. . And "mabey a RWD Seville, thinking about one of those, not sure, if a deal comes along Ill get one even if its not clean, and see if I like them.
A 75 fleetwood tailsman
A 79 coupe deville phenom
90-92 brougham d'elegance with the 5.7 (got a 90 I would rather have a different color combo than mine but a beggar can't be a chooser)
A nice 68 coupe deville
95 or 96 fleetwood brougham
A 85 fleetwood brougham delegance coupe
Of the 6 listed I got one, so 5 to go for me
Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
67 Eldorado
Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
I know I have posted to this type of thread before. I also know that my answers keep changing as I hang around here longer. I never had a 1987 Brougham on my list, and now I am so in love with the one I bought last year I can't imagine not having one.
I have my #1 dream Cadillac and have to get it completed, my 74 Talisman.
My 87 will be with me as long as I can keep it running and looking good.
At some point I would like to add a convertible, I would love a 60-64 if a driver quality ever presented itself at a reasonable price. I love the 50's convertibles, but cost of them is above my means and pleasurable driving needs. I also might go Allante for the convertible with them at fire sale prices right now.
I also know someday I will have to have a Series 75. They are just too cool not to experience owning one once in my life. Again, almost any year would be fine. 50's are dreamy, but pricey, early 60's are sleek and cool, and a bit less money. Love the idea of a 71-76 just because of shear mass. 70's and 80's much more reasonable and driver friendly would be cool too.
I have been falling in love with the 71-73 Coupe Deville. I have been actively looking for one with a sunroof. (Secretly hoping I don't find one!) If a good one showed up at the right price I would find a way to have it though. Same goes for a 74-76 CDV with a sunroof.
Once the Talisman is done I would like to find a slightly rough 71-76 to do a full on pimp-mobile on. I grew up dreaming of them and loved my original Talisman which had quite a few of the "period correct urban modifications"!
I really want to preserve that part of the Cadillac history, because it had such a huge impact on me and my love of Cadillac. I know I am in the minority among collectors in that respect, but I view it as the Cadillac equivalent to the Model A and T hot rodder's some years ago. It took a long time for them to be accepted as a valid representation of the brand history. I believe the hobby is richer for their efforts to gain their place amid the straight restorations, and I feel someday Cadillac collectors will view the Pimp-mobiles the same way.
I also somewhere along the way will probably want to have a 76-79 Seville, and a 79-85 Eldorado. I wouldn't pass on a nice hearse either.

Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
I had a 74 Coupe and a 76 Eldorado, nice cars, but seemed a little hard too park and if remember burn a gallon of fuel every 8 miles. Allente would be cool, Ive seen some super nice low mileage ones for less that 10k, Im talking real nice.
The rate things are going Ill have to hoarse trade some stuff to get the cars I want, Im also thing that 4 or 5 cars might be real hard to take care of.
Only have 2 at present. But the list will grow as I think about it.
1979 Seville - Mint of course
1970 coupe coupe de or fleet wood - Mint
would prefer the coupe deville had one long ago trans went no big deal junk it I said back then, wish I had it now. Lol
Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
I have always been rather manic in my car shopping. Where normal people decide what they want and shop for it, I have always decided it was time for a change and looked for a "new experience" in ownership. The only requirement being something I considered "fun" for whatever strange reason.
I was also always blessed with less money than sense, so it has led to an interesting array of vehicles.
A rather tenuous grasp of reality has many down-sides, but has been fun in terms of vehicle acquisition!

4-1957 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
5-1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
6-1956 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
I believe that's it lol
Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
My dream would be a pair of '70 Eldorados, one in San Mateo Red fireminst and the other a Nottingham Green firemist '70 Eldorado.
Next would be '70 Deville convertibles, green, red, maybe firemist gold, all would have white tops and white interiors.
Those would be weekend drivers, maybe garage ornaments if I may.
For a daily driver a 2002 Eldorado, pearl white and I would have a customized interior in all pearl white leather.
Now for a go to the dump and trips to the lumbar yard Caddy, I need a Cadillac flower car, in black naturally
with bling 5 spoke alloys and maybe some Vogue rubber. I'm not fussy about year as long as it's all black, laid on the ground and has a cool set of pipes.
Now I gotta get a building permit and add on to the garage to fit my dreams.
Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
Theres a beautiful 76 Fleetwood on Craigslist, Ill link in the stickey forumn. Unfortunately I do have limits, but if money were no object I would have listed a lot more cars including a big body Fleetwood, man those things are sweet.

Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
My true dream Cadillac collection would be every Cadillac ever made, but I don't think that's going to happen. And as much as I would love to have some V16s, a 41 Sixty Special, and a 57/58 Eldorado Brougham, I don't see those (among many others) ever being in my budget either. That being said, I think it would be cool to have an example of every Fleetwood 'suffix' out there.
1994 Fleetwood Brougham (check!)
1980-85 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance coupe
1974 Fleetwood Talisman
any pre-1971 Fleetwood Series Seventy Five
1967 Fleetwood Eldorado
1963 Fleetwood Sixty Special
Then I'd have a CTS-V wagon as my daily driver and a Escalade EXT to tow my Fleetwoods around if necassary.
I'm sure I could find room for some others too

Re: Whats your Dream Cadillac Collection
I have had 19 so far, some better but all were just because I cant get enough! When I was 11(1972) my cousin but a sweet 1966 Cream Coupe De Ville with black "gator" skin vinyl top with black leather interior, dial cruise control, and an am/fm seek radio. It began my love for the cars. My parents would not let me purchase it since I was 11 but could have, since I had the money. Man, I wanted that car, it rode like nothing I had ever been in, even though my dad was a Buick Electra Limited guy and owned new ones every 4 years from 1957 till they stopped making the Park's and he passed in 2001. Now my mother at 85 still drives a Lucerne. But I was, am and always will be a Caddy lover. Have owned two Series 75's,(a 70, black and a 76, white), three FWB, (2 94's, white, and taupe and a 95, lt driftwood) three Eldorado's (an almost perfect 67 grey with a black vinyl top, a 74 El Classico, red with a white top, with a hood and grill so heavy I could hardly lift it, and a 75, white) a 69 Coupe D,navy blue, a 70 Sedan D white with a black vinyl top, a 60 Sedan D all black, 2 Deville Base, 4.9's a 94, crimson, and a 95, shale, and a 99 Concours, black(the only NS that I ever had), a 1987 FWD Fleetwood d'Elegance(black with a black half top and red leather) with the notorious 4.1L(ran it to 140,000 and never once a problem), and a 1972 Fleetwood Brougham Sixty Special(black, with padded black vinyl top, and black leather) a 2006 CTS-V, crimson with light grey interior and a manual, and a 1967 Deville convertible. My dream cars yet to have are a 1974, or 75-76 Talisman, a 1976 Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance, a 1959 Fleetwood Brougham, a 1960 Fleetwood Brougham, and maybe some day a 1957 Eldorado Brougham. Anyway, maybe someday.....Peace, Mark

John Gruber, Steve Jobs and the iPad 2
Posted on Friday, March 4, 2011 at 8:40 AM
John Gruber of Daring Fireball was at the iPad 2 event on March 2. First, the guy eats, breathes, and sleeps Apple. His analysis of all things Apple is as close as most people will get to being inside Steve Jobs' head. And once again John completely understands where Apple has positioned themself:
Jobs seemed particularly ebullient throughout, but never more so than when discussing the iPad's competition. There's a palpable sense among everyone from Apple I spoke to yesterday that this is the biggest and most important thing in the history of the industry. The this isn't just the iPad. It's the whole iOS ecosystem — iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, the App Store, the 200 million iTunes Store account holders, the Apple retail store empire where customers get to touch these things that must be touched to be understood. But the iPad best exemplifies the advantages Apple draws from these things.
Last year, Apple's take on the iPad seemed to be that they believed they had something good. This year, they seem to know they have something enormous. Presumably, there's an A5-based dual core iPhone 5 coming in June and a corresponding new iPod Touch and who knows what else coming in September, but Apple is already, a mere two months into it, calling 2011 "The Year of the iPad 2". Apple sells every new product hard, but they're not prone to that sort of hyperbole.
In his conclusion, Jobs said, "It's in Apple's DNA that technology is not enough." That's what separates Apple from everyone else, and the iPad epitomizes it. It's better designed, has more developer support, and it's cheaper. There are aspects of this that Apple's competitors seemingly can't copy — lower prices from economies of scale, amazing battery life, UI responsiveness, build quality.

Today In a room full of your loved ones I wish today was your wedding instead…. God has a better plan even beyond ALL of our own understandings…… For selfish reasons we all wanted you to stay, another laugh, another take, another talk, another moment….. I guess you can't get all you ask for in life…. But our hearts are FULL from all the moments we DID have, 13 years of laughter and grace, humility and love….. Never did I take my access for granted…. Continue praying for his #Family, his daughter #Meadow, you are the WORLDS best friend that's why we're all feeling it… #RIHAW •Rest In Heaven Angel Walker•
In addition to Tyrese's statement on Instagram, here are a few of the posts he made after his dear friend's funeral.

UPDATED: Fed's Proposed 54.5 MPG CAFE Requirements for 2017-2025 Released

President Obama admires a Chevrolet Volt
(Source: Motor City Times)
Proposed standards are expected to be the same Washington and automakers agreed to last summer
The White House, California, and major automakers have came to an agreement on proposed economy standards that will see the requirements ultimately nearly double
fleet wide fuel economy to 54.5 mpg by 2025
People against the plan in the auto industry and Washington have argued that the 54.5 mpg goal will mean
additional money added to the price of each vehicle
and the loss of jobs in the auto industry due to reduced sales. Some estimates from Washington peg the cost to the automotive industry to meet the proposed standards at as much as $100 billion.
The proposed 54.5 mpg standard would save customers $6,600 in lifetime fuel costs for a 2025 model year vehicle. The Department of Transportation (DOT) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), however, rightly point out that the actual savings is closer to $4,400 when you take into account the additional cost of the technology needed (as reflected by the sticker price of the car) to make cars reach such lofty mileage numbers.
"These unprecedented standards are a remarkable leap forward in improving fuel efficiency. We expect this program will not only save consumers money, it will ensure automakers have the regulatory certainty they need to make key decisions that create jobs and invest in the future," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "We are pleased that we've been able to work with the auto industry, the states, and leaders in the environmental and labor communities to move toward even tougher standards for the second phase of the President's national program to improve fuel economy and reduce pollution."
"This is an important addition to the landmark clean cars program that President Obama initiated to establish fuel economy standards more than two years ago," added EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "The progress we made with the help of the auto industry, the environmental community, consumer groups and others will be expanded upon in the years to come -- benefitting the health, the environment and the economy for the American people."
A letter sent to President Obama this week from 100 House Democrats praised the new standards writing, "[The new efficiency standards] increase our national and economic security in an unprecedented way by dramatically decreasing our dependence on foreign sources of petroleum."
The following are areas targeted for improving fuel efficiency across the board:
More efficient gasoline engines
Greater availability of diesel engines for passenger cars
Advanced transmissions
Improvements in vehicle aerodynamics
Reduced vehicle weight thanks to the use of aluminum and composites
Low rolling resistance tires
Improved air conditioning systems
More efficient vehicle accessories
The rules offered up today are not final; there is still a period for the industry and consumers to make comment on the rules. Administration official in Washington said recently that cars would have to average 62 mpg and light trucks 44 mpg to meet the economy standards of 54.5 mpg by 2025. The EPA estimates that real world driving would see 39 mpg.
Some in Washington have already argued that the new fuel economy proposal will legislate out of existence the cars on the market today selling for under $15,000. Obama and his administration still claim that the new standards will save consumers $1.7 trillion in fuel over the life of the vehicles on the road. That figure is contested and some fear that automakers will be forced to build vehicles
consumers aren't interested
in to meet the economy standards.

Skin-Care Tool Kit
Now that you've mastered the techniques, here's what you need to get started.
Cleanser: If your skin is dry or sensitive, pick a mild, moisturizing cream. If your skin is combination or oily, go for a gel or a foam. Or, for extra-deep cleaning on any skin type, try an oscillating cleansing brush.
Exfoliator: Options include scrubs of various grits and night creams with dead-cell–removing chemical ingredients, such as glycolic acid. What you use and how often you use it are a matter of personal preference and skin sensitivity. But all types will benefit from shedding dead cells to make way for newer, healthier ones.
Eye cream: Yes, it's essential. The undereye area has fewer hydrating oil glands than elsewhere on the face, "so you have to compensate topically," says Marcia Kilgore, a facialist and the founder of the skin-care line Soap & Glory. Try one with moisture-attracting hyaluronic acid and apply it morning or night.
Moisturizer: If your primary concern is aging, look for one with an antioxidant, like vitamin C or retinol. If dry skin is your problem, choose a richer formula with hyaluronic acid or glycerin. For oily skin, look for salicylic acid to minimize shine and acne.
Sunscreen: There's one for everyone. Physical-sunscreen ingredients, like titanium dioxide and zinc, are better suited to sensitive skin. Chemical sunscreens, like Parsol 1789, may look less masky. The sunscreen-smell–phobic can use brush-on mineral products (like Laura Mercier Mineral Powder SPF 15, $38, sephora.com), which are odorless and can be swept over makeup.

The Fasig-Tipton winter mixed sale concluded Feb. 9 with across-the-board declines as buyers continued to be selective and competitive on the upper echelon horses and little demand for lesser quality offerings.

A recommendation by an attorney for Delaware racing stewards to drop a therapeutic medication overage case against trainer Todd Pletcher could impact the sport's move toward uniform medication rules, Pletcher's attorney said.

USF's Positive APR Trend Continues in 2012 Report
June 20, 2012
By USF
By USF

Notes on USF's APR Scores
- Baseball produced the nation's third-largest multi-year improvement and best by a school from the six major conferences
- Football's three-year improvement is the best by a BCS school by 17 points
- Football is tied for 26th out of 66 BCS schools, up from 30th last year
- Men's Basketball's three-year improvement is the third-largest gain of any team in the six major conferences
- 15-of-18 USF programs produced a positive trend from last year
- 16-of-18 USF programs produced annual APR rates above 950, with eight having perfect multi-year rates of 1,000
- Women's Tennis, Women's Volleyball and Women's Golf received special recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent nationally in sport
The 2012 APR report consists of multi-year data from 2006-07 through 2010-11. "Last year, we were extremely excited about the strides we had made in the APR, and we felt like we would continue to see that progress in the coming years," said Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Doug Woolard. "This year's report confirms that expectation and it is a credit to our student-services department and the student-athletes that we continue to see this strong level of improvement. Having success academically is of the utmost importance to our athletic department and we will continue to strive for excellence in that area so the progress can continue."
The baseball program improved its multi-year score by 36 points to 962 in the 2012 report. That 36-point bump was the largest increase of any baseball program in the six major conferences and was the third-largest increase of any baseball program in the country.
Building off the positive trend from last year, the Bulls football program saw another increase in 2012. After posting a 930 in the 2010 report and producing a 21-point increase, which was tied for the largest improvement of any BCS school, the football program increased another 23 points, the largest improvement of any BCS school in 2011, to 953. During that two-year span, the football program's 44-point improvement was 15 points larger than the second-best two-year improvement. This year, the program added another 10 points to its multi-year score, finishing at 963. That mark is tied for 26th out of the 66 BCS schools, up from 30th last year, and is tied for second in the BIG EAST, up from fourth a year ago. USF's three-year 54-point improvement is also the best by a BCS school. In addition, the program's annual score increased for the fifth-consecutive year, going from 879 in 2005-06 to 978 in 2010-11.
The men's basketball program has also continued its positive trend. In 2010, the program produced a 37-point jump from the previous year, which was the fifth-best improvement out of the 73 schools in the six major conferences, to 915. Last year, the men's basketball program improved another 22 points, the 10th-largest increase, to 937. This year, the program added another 11 points to its total, finishing at 948. The 70-point improvement over the last three years is the third-largest gain of the 73 schools in the six major conferences and is tops in the BIG EAST.
Of USF's 18 sports represented in the report, 15 have a positive multi-year APR trend from the 2011 report, with two programs remaining level, and 16-of-18 programs have annual APR rates above 950, including eight with perfect rates of 1,000.
The athletic department is led by women's golf, women's tennis and volleyball, which received special recognition last week for achieving a perfect multi-year rate of 1,000. The softball program continued its success, posting a multi-year score of 991. The men's tennis program was the top male performer with a multi-year score of 984.
This year's report comes on the heels of USF's most successful year academically on record. The department produced a record-high combined 3.03 GPA for the 2011-2012 academic year, which was headlined by the women's soccer program at 3.36, the women's tennis program at 3.46 and the men's tennis program at 3.22 for the spring term.

Madonna manages to have style (and a fan ! ) even when she lives out of a hatbox, dries her hair in Grand Central Station and dresses herself in thrift-store finds. She is everyone's therapist and no one's fool . . . and I think this is by far the best movie she ever made.

Auch wenn es schwer ist einzuschätzen, was von der MOOC-Idee übrig bleibt, wenn eine Institution wie Stanford sie umarmt: George Siemens begrüßt die Ankündigung:
"Why is the Stanford course an important development? Well, first, it reflects the logical next stage of education and openness: as the course authors state in their intro video, "we want to teach the world". Second, education is ripe for change and transformation and alternative models, that take advantage of global connectedness, are important to explore. Third, when traditional universities such as U of Illinois (eduMOOC) and now Stanford start opening up courses, it's reasonable to expect that we'll be seeing more of these in the next several years. Finally, learning in a global cohort is an outstanding experience – networking on steroids!"

Lake City Pastor Speaks Out About His Church's Nativity Scene
* UPDATE Dec. 20, 2013 * - At the original broadcast of this piece http://goo.gl/DUThqJ on Dec. 16th, TV20 did not have the opportunity to interview the church at the center of this story.
The head pastor of the Columbia City Seventh Day Adventist Church, George Worrell has since reached out to TV20 with a written statement. In a phone call, Worrell said that the Nativity display will not change next year because that would be an admission of guilt. He also replied in a written statement. This is a portion of what he had this to say:
"This parent did what you would expect any concerned and responsible parent should do – protect her young one. And who can blame her!! But the fact is, there was no decapitation of babies. Yes, there was a woman sobbing for her child, (an accurate prophetic depiction of the birth of Christ according to (Jer 31:15; Matt 2:17); yes there was a solider standing with a sword in his hand; and yes, there was a doll. But the decapitation of the doll's head NEVER, EVER, HAPPENED. I fully understand the perception that was created in the King Herod scene. And anyone who knows his Bible could have interpreted such perception as reality. But it just did not happen. We had a 2-year old who participated in the program, and there is no way we would have exposed her, or anyone else, to that kind of brutality.
This is the sixth year of the Nativity Scene, and we have never had a single negative comment about the inappropriateness of the biblical narrative we presented. In the future if anything is done that a visitor deems inappropriate , please let us know, and we would do whatever is necessary to give due consideration to your concerns. In fact, we welcome the public's input to making the event even more interesting. We are mindful that the Nativity Scene, like all the other stories and teachings of the Bible, cannot be compromised for the sake of being politically correct. This will be doing a grave disservice to the narrative of the Bible and defeat the purpose of what we are portraying to the public. WE must maintain the integrity of the lessons of the Bible if we are going to be credible.
To the parent whose 2-year old was disturbed by what she saw, I deeply regret the distress that was caused, and if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me."
George C Worrell, Church Pastor
LAKE CITY (Dec. 16) - The Columbia City Seventh Day Adventist Church in Lake City didn't sugar coat their interpretation of the Christmas story.

Feb 16, 2012 - The Associated PressCOLORADOR SPRINGS -- Behind a career night from Ashley Sickles, the Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team picked up a 71-58 road win against the Air Force Academy Falcons, on Wednesday night. The Cowgirls are now 10-13 overall and 6-4 in the Mountain West.
"I thought we took our level of play higher in the second half," head coach Joe Legerski said. "The two halves where so different in the first Air Force was the aggressor and we became the aggressor in the second. To have two players, with Ashley and Kayla, recording double-doubles showed how they controlled the second half. Ashley gave us a huge lift offensively and played 38 minutes. It was a tremendous effort."
Two Cowgirls finished their night with double-doubles led by Sickles. She finished with a career high 26 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 9-13 from the field and 6-6 from beyond the arc. Kayla Woodward followed with 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Kaitlyn Mileto added ten points and three rebounds. Wyoming shot 21-46 (.457) from the field, 7-14 (.500) from the free throw line and 22-27 (.815) from free throw line.
Wyoming also out rebounded the Falcons, 39-34, and recorded 15 assists.
Three Falcons finished the night in double-figures led by Dymond James. She recorded 13 points and ten rebounds. Alecia Leipprandt added 16 points followed by Jamela Satterfield with ten. Air Force shot 24-66 (.364) from the field and 9-15 (.600) from the free throw line.
Wyoming returns to home to host the Colorado State Rams Saturday. Game time is set for 2 p.m. in the Arena-Auditorium.

"The Biggest Loser's" Danni Allen took home the crown on the Season 14 Finale of the NBC reality TV series after losing an astonishing 121 pounds!
Access Hollywood caught up with the 26-year-old Illinois native, who also took home the $250,000 grand prize.

"I'm in disbelief right now, but I think the whole thing I wanted to prove is there isn't disbelief. You can believe... [But] I can't believe it!" she told Access after winning.
"I can't believe what I've been able to accomplish. What I've been able to do and walking out in a size four dress on national television. Are you kidding me?!" Danni, who lost 46.90 percent of her body weight, told Access.

Danni's fight with her weight is something she had battled with her whole life.
"I struggled with this, being athletic, I never was fit. I was 200 lbs. in high school. It wasn't in the cards for me, well look at me now!" she proudly told Access. "If I can do it, [the viewers at home] can... let's do this together. I'm here for you now. So come find me and I'll help you get off that couch."
Danni also appeared on Tuesday's Access Hollywood Live, where she told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover that her biggest struggle when it came to losing weight had to do with her mind, not her body.

"The biggest change I had to make was mentally. It really wasn't about eating right and the physical part of it, it was about what was going on behind the scenes in my head to make me the way that I was," she explained. "I was self-sabotaging myself my whole life."
Danni said that growing up she "never felt deserving" of what she had in life, but now that has all changed.

"Now I can take on the world as this new bright person and say, 'Why not me? And let's pay it forward!'" she told Billy and Kit.
As for her current celebrity crush that she'd love to lock lips with, Danni opted for "The Sexiest Man Alive."
"Channing Tatum," she said with a smile, but acknowledged that he was taken.
And the road to staying fit is only just beginning for Danni.
"This year I would love to run the Chicago Marathon," she added of the race that is coming up in October.

Britney Spears Reportedly Close Signing Huge Las Vegas Deal
Britney Spears is expected sign a deal worth over $100 million a year to perform around 80 concerts in Las Vegas over the next two years.
The Las Vegas residency is expected to be one of the most lucrative in the history of the city. TMZ sources say the final amount of moeny to be paid to Spears will be "astronomical." Caeser's Palace is expected to be setting for the Spears show.
It's been a tough stretch of days for Spears. She split from her fiance Jason Trawick and lost her job as a judge on The X Factor. But Britney always wanted to do a Vegas residency and with those commitments out of the way, there is little in her way.
According to sources, there will be clauses in Spears' contract to protect Caeser's Palace against a possible return to Britney's erratic behavior. The Daily Mirrorsays the pop-star will likely have to appear for a set number of shows before getting paid.

The Evening Standard will reveal the most influential people in business and the City next week with the publication of the Power 1000 in association with Battersea Power Station.
New Bank of England Governor Mark Carney is likely to feature prominently following his arrival in the capital from Canada in the summer.
Many other new names have emerged, with change happening at the top of many FTSE firms including Royal Bank of Scotland, Pearson and Diageo and others such as Foxtons, Merlin Entertainments and Shazam planning stock-market floats.
The property, construction and design industries will also play a big role in this year's The Power 1000 to reflect the explosion of new building and infrastructure projects across the capital in the wake of last year's Olympic Games.
Mayor Boris Johnson will be the guest speaker at a glittering party at Battersea Power Station to celebrate The Power 1000 on Sept-ember 19. The event will be the last major party at Battersea before the site is transformed into a £8 billion, 39-acre residential and office complex.
Evening Standard editor Sarah Sands said: "London's Power 1000 is not a fixed and predictable list. It changes to reflect shifting fortunes and talents in a crucible of creativity where great ideas are as likely to come from individuals on laptops in coffee shops as from large corporations."

Apps For Kids Collect Data Without Informing Parents
The FTC's survey of Android and iOS apps finds that most app builders give parents insufficient information about their privacy practices.
Kids love apps, but most apps are data sponges. The FTC has looked at scores of apps in the Apple App store and on Google Play and found that most don't tell parents what data is being collected about their kids, or how that data will be used. Only 20% of the apps the survey encountered had information about the app's privacy practices, the FTC explains. In fact, "many apps included interactive features or shared kids' information with third parties without disclosing these practices to parents," the FTC team writes in their report.
This is the second report the FTC has released about apps for children and their data collection and privacy practices, and in sum, they continue to find information wanting. The FTC is launching an investigation to discover if app makers are acting outside of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

The All-American Rejects "The Kids In The Street" Album Review — 5 out of 5 stars
Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:30:11
The All-American Rejects Photos
The All-American Rejects Videos
Rock 'n' roll needs more bands like The All-American Rejects.
Things have become so sterile and innocuous these days. It really seems like no one out there has the balls to blast a cheating ex on tape anymore—other than AAR frontman Tyson Ritter. The bassist and singer is not worried about anything other than delivering quality music on the group's fourth effort, The Kids In The Street. That's exactly the way it should be though.
During the superb album opener, "Someday's Gone", Ritter proclaims, "Walk into the room and you've fucked everyone". Then, he proceeds to belt out a catchy refrain over titanic-size riffs from Nick Wheeler and Mike Kennedy. It's a strangely pensive and explosively potent track that illuminates the group's uncanny ability to inject the right dose of venom into pop. You'll sing along to it, chuckle, and then think.
Elsewhere, their instrumental prowess shines through in spades, especially during the slithering wah solo in the middle of single "Beekeeper's Daughter". A sunny guitar bounces at the beginning of "Fast & Slow" as Ritter muses, "If only for tonight, I could dig myself a grave but even six feet down I'd be found feeling this way." It's sharp, smart, and sardonic. The shimmy electronics of "Heartbeat Slowing Down" reaches levels of orchestral bombast, while "Walk Over Me" struts with an arena-ready stomp and chugging distortion as Ritter cracks, "I can't believe her pretty feet walked all over me."
The band hits a timeless chord on the standout title track. Over a hulking beat from drummer Chris Gaylor, Ritter paints a whimsical picture of childhood memories back when you could be a real kid in the street. All of the elements converge for a cinematic love letter to better days.
The finale is a shimmering, stripped balled entitled "I For You". All of the wisecracks get put aside for a minute as the singer opens up over an acoustic guitar. It's another gem from AAR, and it's the kind of track you can see in countless movies.
The All-American Rejects have crafted their best album with The Kids In The Street, and it also happens to be one of the best of 2012. Play with these Kids, and you'll have the time of your life.
—Rick Florino

Transform differential equation by tranformation rule
Dear Mathematica users,
I want to transform one different equation (variable r,z) to another
different equation (variable x,y).
The origin equation is :
equation = Derivative[0, 2][u][r, z] + Derivative[1, 0][u][r, z]/r +
Derivative[2, 0][u][r, z] == 0
The transform rule is :
r = Cos[x]Sinh[y]
z = Sin[x] Cosh[y]
Now, my task is simple, apply this transform to differential equation.
I do like this :
transformRule = {r[x][y]-> Cos[x]Sinh[y], z[x][y]-> Sin[x] Cosh[y]}
dtrules=Join @@ ({#,D[#,t],D[#,{t,2}]} & /@ transformRule)
But it seems that something is wrong...
And the analytical result is :
anaSolution = 1 / (Sin^2[x] + Sinh^2[y] ) * ( Derivative[2, 0][u][x,y]
+ -Tan[x]*Derivative[1, 0][u][x, y] + Derivative[0, 2][u][x, y] +
Tanh[y]*Derivative[0, 1][u][x, y] )
Can someone do this ? It seems simple but infact, when i touch it, it
made the complex result. So what i want is how to obtain the
Waiting for ur help...

GENERIC NAME: CARTEOLOL SOLUTION - OPHTHALMIC (kar-TEE-oh-lol)
BRAND NAME(S): Ocupress
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Carteolol is used alone or with other medications to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open-angle type) or other eye diseases (such as ocular hypertension). Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent blindness. Carteolol is a beta blocker. It is thought to work by reducing the amount of fluid made in the eye.
HOW TO USE: Use this medication in the affected eye(s) as directed by your doctor, usually 1 drop twice daily. Use in the eye only. Do not swallow or inject.Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Follow your doctor's directions on how to use this medication.To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.Before using, check this product visually for brown discoloration, cloudiness, or particles. If any of these is present, do not use the eye drops.The preservative in this product may be absorbed by contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using your eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes after using this medication before putting your contact lenses back in.Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over the eye and place one drop in the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1-2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if directed by your doctor.Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 10 minutes before applying other medications. Use the eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. It is important to continue using this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high pressure in the eye do not feel sick.

Press Invitation to Major Demonstration on Monday, October 19
EU Agriculture Council in Luxembourg: Several thousand dairy farmers from all over Europe expected
The weeks and months of protests by European dairy farmers have finally put the political machinery in motion. "Dairy farmers welcome the statement by the majority of the agriculture ministers that they wish to retain an innovative production management system also after 2015, thus putting an end to the milk crisis," says Romuald Schaber, President of the European Milk Board (EMB), commenting on the meeting of the ministers that took place in Vienna on October 12.
Referring to the meeting of the EU Council of Agriculture Ministers, to be held in Luxembourg on Monday October 19, Schaber has this to say: "Within this logic, it now makes sense to effectively remove the milk surpluses from the market in the short term." The European Milk Board (EMB) is demanding that EU agriculture ministers immediately restrict netting across Europe and implement a voluntary suspension of partial quotas without delay. This means that as a result, it will be possible to limit milk production, allowing dairies once more to pay significantly better prices for milk. The long-term aim is to set up a monitoring mechanism, in which milk producers, consumers, dairies and politicians take joint responsibility and analyse the market, with the aim of bringing milk production in line with demand. One of the targets is to achieve a price that will cover the costs incurred by the producers.
"There will be several thousand dairy farmers and several hundred tractors making their way to Luxembourg next Monday, to lend emphasis to their demands," says Fredy de Martines of the LDB, the Luxembourg branch organisation of the EMB. In addition to a rally, a number of powerful demonstrations are also planned, and media partners are invited to attend.
Mass Demonstration and Rally
Date: Monday, October 19.
Time: 1.00pm to 4.00pm – beginning at 10.00am, farmers will begin driving their tractors accompanied by police escorts
Venue: Kirchberg Exhibition Centre, Luxexpo S.A., 10 circuit de la Foire Internationale, L-1347 Luxembourg-Kirchberg

Anti-racism campaigner Paul Elliott has quit his FA role after he made "discriminatory abusive comments".
Elliott, a former Chelsea and Celtic defender, allegedly aimed a racial insult via text at ex-Charlton player Richard Rufus in an argument over a failed business venture. Both men are black.
FA chairman David Bernstein said in a statement that Elliott's position was "untenable" after the matter was reported earlier this week.
Elliott was a leading light and trustee of the Kick It Out campaign, a position from which he has also stepped down, and served on the FA's judicial panel and as a nominated member of UEFA committees.
The 48-year-old received a CBE for services to equality and diversity in football earlier this month.
A statement read: "The FA has today accepted the resignation of Paul Elliott from all roles representing the organisation.
"This follows a conversation in which discriminatory abusive comments were made to Richard Rufus."
Bernstein said: "I wish to thank Paul for his dedicated and unstinting work, particularly in the area of anti-racism.
"I am saddened by this turn of events and it is with regret that we accept Paul's resignation.
"However, the use of discriminatory language is unacceptable regardless of its context and in effect has made Paul's position untenable."
Elliott released a statement via Kick It Out explaining his decision.
He said: "Earlier this week, a former friend and business colleague made public an SMS text message I sent him, in which I used a term which is widely known as being derogatory to my own community.
"I regret using it; it is inappropriate and not part of my everyday vocabulary.
"As an advocate of high standards of public behaviour, and integrity in public life, I know the use of this word sends out mixed messages and contradicts my position as a Kick It Out trustee.
"I will continue to be active in other projects in what I believe to be a true and just cause."
Elliott played for Charlton, Luton and Aston Villa before spells in Italy with Pisa and Bari.
He returned to the UK with Celtic and later moved to Chelsea, where his career came to an end due to injury in 1994.
