Fill it, then smooth up the outer surface before priming/painting *NM*

Fill it, then smooth up the outer surface before priming/painting *NM*
If you're not in a hurry, fill it in with some strip styrene and liquid cement like Plastic Weld. When it has dried, you gently sand the upper surface and give it a light "wash" of liquid cement...
Agree, this is what I always do and have never had a problem with ghosting. But you need to do the coating with liquid cement 2 or 3 times and let dry at least a couple of days after each one to give the plastic time to restablize. *NM*
yes, and being on a tight budget, I use xylene for liquid cement
And that thick layer of "melted" plastic and solvents will take months to fully outgass. Based on my experience, this will just soften/disturb the existing plastic, making the ghost line even worse. *NM*
I agree--too much glue will do this. BUT, fill with styrene. Solvent-based fillers will ghost. Also, a primer sealer on both sides may help. Thin coats, let dry completely, or it may cause ghosting also. *NM*
I guess because I'm not on a deadline, never had a problem with this. Pulled one out of the box and working on it that I did this with before I moved out of CAL in 93. Completely cured. *NM*
I've used that method with much success, esp when filling holes from old mirror or antenna ...s
p.s.... usually use Tenax, dries out overnight, it ends up all styrene, no other filler... *NM*
Most paint and hardware stores used to carry it, unless you're in California since they banned it a few years ago. Similar to Toulene except slower drying. *NM*
I avoid any kind of solvent in that area, as it can make ghosting even worse. I use crazy glue to fill in the area. Depending on the depth I sometimes fill the groove with baking soda, then hit it with crazy glue.
Totally agree with MoparMike. Avoid solvents of any kind! I'd use JB Weld, but I'm sure the superglue would work too. *NM*
I'm a big fan of this when it comes to sealing plastic from "ghosting"............................*PIC*....
I've been using it for almost 25 years now [wonder where you heard of it Bill? LOL] But you forgot to add that you must , , , *PIC*
Hmmm..... so prime with paint first, airbrush this on, then paint? *NM*
You guys are, of course, correct. However, you missed one key item: Super Dave is trying to strengthen the weak areas of the hood where the kit maker scribed lines for a scoop on the underside. *NM*
That is correct, sir. Going to put some effort into this and hopefully come out with a decent build but it'd be ruined if you were to see that ghosting through the top side of the hood. *NM*
Prime, BIN, block sand [wet 1000 grit] BIN again, paint., , I've never had to fill any cut lines on the underside of a hood. *PIC*
Cool. Thanx, Steve, and to all who provided advice. I appreciate you all taking your time to respond. *NM*

Ontario's markets watchdog says the mining industry has an "unacceptable" level of compliance with disclosure rules brought in to protect investors after the Bre-X gold scandal of the 1990s shook confidence in Bay Street.
In a report issued on Thursday, the Ontario Securities Commission says it surveyed a sample of 50 technical disclosure reports filed by mining stock issuers over the past year. The reports were made mandatory in reforms enacted in 2001, after investors lost hundreds of millions of dollars when Indonesian gold-drilling results from Bre-X Minerals turned out to be fake.
But a dozen years later, it appears that mining companies are having trouble with the paperwork. The OSC says it found that 80 per cent of the reports it sampled, on which many investors rely, had "some sort of non-compliance." And 40 per cent had "at least one major non-compliance concern."
The report does not name the companies, although the OSC warned that mining issuers should expect requests for re-filings, additional disclosure, and possibly other action by its staff in the wake of the findings.
The strict rules have long been cited as the silver lining that came from the Bre-X cloud, trumpeted as a key strength of Canada's capital markets for mining companies, which have made Toronto the leading centre of mining finance in the world.
The regime requires a mining company to issue a comprehensive technical report, on a tight 45-day deadline, when it discloses any scientific or technical information, particularly new mineral resources or reserves. The reports, which can run into the hundreds of pages and cover a wide range of material, must be prepared or authorized by a "qualified person" such as a recognized geologist.
But in the regulator's sweep of what it said was a representative sample of 10 per cent of those technical reports filed over the past year, the OSC says it found "significant deficiencies" in key areas, such as estimates about the size and viability of mineral resources, and capital and operating costs.
The OSC also says that almost a third of the technical reports failed to adequately disclose information about environmental permits and agreements or talks with First Nations. And 36 per cent of reports "did not disclose project-specific risks and uncertainties such as the availability of water rights, use of a novel mineral processing technology or the potential impact of a civil war in the region."
Neither the Mining Association of Canada nor the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada would comment on the report. But Mark Bennett, a lawyer with Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP who acts for mining companies, said investors should not be concerned.
He said the industry has done a lot to comply with the disclosure rules, and that many of the deficiencies cited were technical in nature, and not warning signs of anything resembling another Bre-X: "I think it's a wake-up call to issuers of all sizes that they need to pay a little more attention to what's going in these reports."Report Typo/Error

Elton Lagasse, who at 75 is running for the office of Jefferson Parish president at the Oct. 24 primary election, is tired of hearing about how old he is.
That much was clear after the third-term parish councilman hosted his campaign kickoff at The Crossing in Kenner on Wednesday night.
When he addressed the crowd at the event, Lagasse touched on themes that are commonly part of political platforms.
He vowed to maintain and improve drainage canals and pumping stations to keep floodwaters out of streets and homes in the parish during storms. He promised to dedicate funding to enforcement of building codes and the demolition of derelict structures, hoping that the elimination of blighted properties would reduce the crime rate in the parish.
And, among many other things, Lagasse said he'd find a tenant for the Avondale shipyard, which would restore the jobs that were lost when that facility closed last year.
However, no topic recurred as frequently as the downplaying of Lagasse's age.
One of the guest speakers at Wednesday's event was J.T. Curtis, whose 542 victories coaching the John Curtis high school football team in River Ridge are the second-most all-time. After talking about how Lagasse displayed leadership when he drove around his and Curtis' neighborhood providing essentials such as ice in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the coach took aim at murmurs that the senior politician couldn't realistically serve more than one four-year term, given his age.
"If you think he is through, hang on. The show is just about to start!" Curtis — a 26-time state champion coach — said about Lagasse, who is almost twice as old as his only announced opponent for the presidency, 38-year-old Kenner Mayor Mike Yenni. "The future of Jefferson Parish is going to move in a direction that you have never seen before because this man cares about people — not politics!"
As other speakers on Wednesday did, Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson likened Lagasse to a seasoned sports coach who, by virtue of having seen it all, knew what it took to build a winning team.
"Experience means a lot," Lawson said about Lagasse, a former prep sports coach who before joining the council in 2004 was superintendent of the Jefferson Parish public school system from 1994 to 2003. "What we need now in Jefferson Parish is not a cheerleader — but a coach."
When it was his turn at the microphone, Lagasse dedicated the end of his 14-minute speech to his age. While he joked that ex-U.S. President Thomas Jefferson before dying in 1826 told him that a man should be judged solely on his works and not his age, Lagasse remarked in a more serious tone, "I was always taught that wisdom comes with experience."
Pointing at his head, he added, "Age is irrelevant — it's what you have here."
Lagasse and Yenni are running to succeed John Young, who will not seek another term as Jefferson Parish president and instead pursue the office of lieutenant governor.

Yeah, platooning actually helps make up for stupid teams. Aside form ES and Ute, I platooned with Kimi and his friend Sao, and we pretty much went on a 5 game streak. I'm back to where I was yesterday!
Which is to say I'm not going to push my luck any more.
P.S. I installed the full version of XVM, and now I understand how it can make people careless. For the duration of my time with Kimi and Sao, barring one game, we had win predictions well into the purple (with one game featuring a platoon of Havok guys)... which caused many to rush willy-nilly to the front lines. Our last match was a perfect example, where our win chance was 48%... which obviously caused the OTHER team to rush us piecemeal. The result? We won.
Simply put, use the damned thing as a supplement, and don't let it replace tactical thinking.

Sorry Kimi, but I wasted that effort by your friend. ^^; I'm down 4 games again. Seriously, the proliferation of seriously BAD players these past two days on high tiers are just unreal. And this isn't even counting XVM, which I'm having second thoughts post-install, as it's disheartening to see how you can be the only player who's green at times.
Though there have been hat-tricks. I've been in a battle with predicted 30% and 39% respectively, and somehow managed to pull out a hat trick on both, but those are pretty rare.

i need to find a stat padder tank and play it for awhile, maybe that will cheer me up. seal clubbing doesn't really do me much good. I also heard their nerfing derps, so I guess if it gets nerfed to a point where gold is useless, I suppose you'll see more ppl using HE derp or go to the 75er or 76er.

Speaking of games with HORRIFIC odds (care of XVM):
Like Pen3, I do take comfort in somehow beating the odds and coming out with a win. It's very rare, after all.
Ironically, bad teams are out in force these past two days. Gave me a migraine just thinking of it.
Another game that proves this point, that the win predict percentage can NEVER be trusted:
Although XVM showed a high win % prediction, that match was actually VERY close, as the guys in the city couldn't hold it. We were lucky how the field was lightly defended, which allowed me, a Type 59, a Jagdtiger, and a Jadgpanther to sneak in and cap. And even then it was a close thing, as THREE tanks came charging back in just as we were close to winning (the IS-6, the KV-2, and the Tiger-P), and managed to reset once (by hitting the bigger target, the Jagdtiger), but we managed to blow two of them up as the KV-2 chickened out.

More from today.
Seal clubbing par excellence. This was during a platoon with GhostieEye and Cumonmesempai (how lewd!). As you can see, the match was hilariously skewed in our favor, though we did still lose people. Surprisingly, only a few made for the hill, with the rest going through the middle or the north side.
By the way, only me in the B1 and GhostieEye in his T-28 actually went north.
Also probably my best game on the Type 62 so far. This one was a VERY close thing, with me going north to a bush for passive spotting, with the Panther 2, Caernavon, T28, and the Ferdinand rushing forward... only to run into a ST-1, T69, ISU-152, and another Type 62.
I took a few potshots at the T69, then ran away when they saw me. They soon focused on the Panther 2 and the Caernavon, and didn't notice me when I went back to the SAME BUSH I was hiding in. Soon enough the Caernavon and the Panther 2 were down, and I was left on my own. I kept my fire until the ST-1 and the ISU passed, which of course they didn't notice me, which made them HUGE targets for my allies. I hit them as they passed, then hotfooted it back to the bridge once the T69 saw me.
Needless to say, the ISU and the ST-1 never got too far from where I was.
I swung around in an EXTREME circle south, and actually crossed the bridge, where I spotted the two arty south, and finally found the last one to the north (the GW panther). The last one, the M40 drowned itself before I found it.
Boy, what a game that was.
Oh, and on a game I didn't manage to snag a screenshot on. I finally got the last gun on the E-75. but given the craziness of the weekend, I wasn't able to actually use it much. Then this afternoon I had one of the few games that had the E-75 on top. So what happens? The first tank I hit with it goes KABOOM with a lucky hit on the ammo rack. o_o

Abusing your ammo capacity for fun and profit:
Our team lemming trained the Mountain Pass ice road from the north, the other team lemming trained the west road.
My Churchill III and a KV-1 stalled their advance on the west, while a TD covered the middle valley. By "stalled" I mean "we didn't kill anything." We were just there... and all I actually did was fire 48 rounds of 57mm at a choke point (no hits!) which actually scared people off from flanking us.

What a roller coaster ride the Tar Heels have been on so far this season. Don't expect anything less before March.
The Heels have not been quiet in the national spotlight to say the least, and for the most part have impressed basketball fans around the country. The Tar Heels already have two top-five wins after defeating third-ranked Louisville on a neutral court and top-ranked Michigan State in East Lansing.
I saw a very interesting stat on Twitter the other day which explained that as a head coach Roy Williams is a combined 30-3 all-time against Bobby Knight, Rick Pitino (Louisville), Jim Calhoun, Bo Ryan (Wisconsin), Thad Matta (Ohio State), and Tom Izzo (Michigan State). As a recent graduate of UNC, I gotta admit that when the Heels start playing badly, a fair amount of friends and classmates I had in Chapel Hill began to quietly blame Roy for the problems on the court, which sometimes he is responsible for. However, this statistic has to give UNC fans confidence in their coach, especially when March Madness rolls around and Coach Williams will have to face other future hall-of-fame coaches with powerhouse programs.
Now I'd like to play a game that I just invented in my mind called "Impressives and Disappointments." The game is fairly self-explanatory; I think you can figure out what is going to happen next.
Let's start with the disappointments first, that way we can end on a positive note. This is a way for me to vent about the things I would like to see improve throughout the season, so think of it more as constructive criticism (as if the team ever needed my input). The things that have been disappointments to me during the first quarter of the season have been the Tar Heels' upperclassmen and their intensity level against lesser opponents.
The upperclassmen, at least the ones who were/still are expected to be the leaders for this year's team, have either not stepped foot on the court because of poor life choices during the off-season (P.J. Hairston & Leslie McDonald) or at times might as well not have stepped on the court anyways (James Michael McAdoo). These three upperclassmen could have been one of, if not the most talented trio of upperclassmen on any team in the country, but it wouldn't be surprising if two of them never put on a UNC basketball jersey again because of NCAA violations and legal trouble. The one that does get to play, McAdoo, has been a consensus disappointment so far this season among college basketball experts and the confidence level that most realistic UNC fans have in McAdoo seems to be wavering. One positive that can be drawn from McAdoo's seemingly poor play thus far is that the sky is the limit for his potential: He's one of the most athletic big men in the country, he has a decent touch from outside, and he plays hard. If he is able to put it all together, there is no telling how good this team can become.
The Tar Heels have two losses that ultimately shouldn't have happened, and it is because they have played down to their opponent's level and seemed to lack intensity. In the home loss to Belmont which was the first loss of the season, the Tar Heels shot just 22-48 free throws, an absolutely unacceptable percentage. While Belmont is a good team, the Bruins of Belmont led most of the game, and owned a 7-point halftime lead. Few teams ever come to Chapel Hill and lead most of the game, especially not mid-major programs. In the road loss to UAB, the Heels scored only 59 points, shot 1-12 from 3-point range, shot just 4-11 from the free throw line, and recorded only one more assist than they had turnovers. The Heels cannot afford to come out flat against inferior ACC opponents and give away conference games.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. The things that have been impressive to me so far this season are Marcus Paige, Kennedy Meeks, and the Heels' ability to win as a team. Paige has emerged as one of the best point guards in the country, especially in terms of his ability to score the basketball. Paige averages just under 19 points per game, 4.5 assists per game, and has become the unquestioned leader of this team. All the hype this season in the ACC has been about freshman phenom Jabari Parker for Duke, but Kennedy Meeks has been impressive in his own right. While only averaging 14 minutes per game so far this season, Meeks is averaging close to 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, which is incredibly productive given his limited minutes. The thing I like most about these two is UNC should expect both of them to stick around for four years, which will help them both blossom into dominant superstars by the time they are seniors.
The Tar Heels' ability to win as a team has been impressive to me as well. In their two big wins which I previously discussed, everyone on the court for the Heels looked as though they knew their role and the Heels executed successfully as a team. My favorite lineup for the Heels is Nate Britt, Paige, J.P. Tokoto, Brice Johnson, and Kennedy Meeks. Johnson and Meeks are both excellent passing big-men; when these two are in the game together watch how much better the Tar Heels move the ball on offense. Tokoto isn't known for being a shooter but has shown tremendous improvement with his jumpshot. If he can continue to knock down the mid-range jumper and the Heels continue to pass the basketball, we could see significant improvement on the offensive end.
The Heels have a highly-anticipated showdown with the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday, December 14 in Chapel Hill. The Heels enter the game ranked 18th in the land, while the Wildcats are ranked 11th overall. The Wildcats are led by sensational freshman big man Julius Randle, who I often mistake for a grown man because of his size and strength. Look for Randle to have a monster game, especially if James Michael McAdoo continues in his passive ways.
We all know the story of Kentucky: They are a team loaded with young talent, but freshmen take up most of the minutes for the Wildcats. Expect the Dean Dome to be rocking, and if it is, the Wildcats may have a hard time keeping their composure in one of the best basketball venues in the country. The Heels have played their best this season against their best competition, so don't be surprised if this game turns into a shootout as two of the most storied programs in the country compete in one of the nation's best non-conference rivalries.

Boundary Conditions
I'm new to fluent and I'm working on a case with a "U" pipe. I want to predict the pressure drop for a certain mass flow. I have problems with openfoam so I try to run the case on fluent to see where I did wrong with openfoam.
So I'd like to set the static pressure at the inlet & outlet
(I know, fluent has BC to match a mass flow but I'd like to compare results with OpenFoam wich doesn't have this type of boundary conditions so I do it this way)
In openfoam, there is no droplist for the boundary conditions and you can do whatever you want, it won't tell you if you do wrong things.
Here in fluent, I see that I can't set "static pressure" at the inlet but only total pressure and initial gauge pressure.
Why? Is it an error to only give static pressure @inlet & oulet? You absolutly have to set total pressure? Because in openfoam I set static pressure at the inlet & outlet and maybe my mistake is here so I'd like to know ...
I don't know if my question is very clear but thanks for your help!
You might get more responses if you post in the Fluent forum.
Oops thought I dit it ... Guess I screwed up somewhere!
Thanks for telling me!

Spilly Jane's Tibetan Singing Bowl
Share on
I was touched that on a trip to the UK, (travelling from Canada) the famous Spilly Jane of Spilly Jane Knits bought her singing bowl with her, in order to give me "a sound" following all of our wonderful interchanges on Twitter over the past few years about everyday sounds, bird sounds, knitting sounds and many other KNITSONIK matters. Here is Jane's wonderful singing bowl, played in the incongruous setting of The Swan pub, near Hyde Park. Thanks Spilly Jane! #singingbowl #knitters #soundz #listening #spillyjaneknits

Recently I have a user who is not taking my word on answers I give her. It's like she thinks I am lying to her.
Like a typical IT department I will screen calls for the rest of the staff and filter their answers back to users.
A classic example was this morning said user wanted to modify the company time sheet (a fillable PDF with summing formulas etc). Our staffer in charge of said time sheet said "NO!" I translated that to be "not without permission from our IT director, who happens to be out for the day." Her response was to grill me on the reasons. I felt like saying "no means no!" but refrained because I don't really feel like 1) being her parent and 2) I am supposed to be the nice guy.
Suggestions on handling users like this?

The way I try and handle this if they won't take waht you say as answer is to say I will "look into it" and then raie the issue with their manager and leave it to the chain of command.
Had a similar problem today with a user wanting to print from an out dated piece of software - I tried to explain that
a )they shouldn't be using that software
b) it would reflect poorly on their figures
c) I didn't have the time
When they still said "I need this" I said I will try and see what I can do. On returning to my desk I spoke to their manager asking if they did indeed need that piece of software. He replied that no they didn't I shouldn't waste any time getting it running for that user and that he would have a word. Problem fixed. Had it not been I would have taken it up with my manager and asked them to take matters further.
Hope this Helps
PS you ar pretty much screwed if a) you are the manager and b) the person refusing to take your answer is more senior

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
In extreme cases I've been known to report the person for attempting to use social engineering (pressure, threats, annoyance, etc.) to violate company security policies. That puts them into a different light but, in reality, that is what they are doing - trying to brow beat you into doing something against the rules.

I felt like saying "no means no!" but refrained because I don't really feel like 1) being her parent and 2) I am supposed to be the nice guy.I feel your pain Compton, I really do, however, a part of the role of IT is to support the Internal Security, Acceptable use and other policies that make the company tick.
Suggestions on handling users like this?
I also take what Scott says to heart too, as you are almost screwed when that person is above you on the food chain. However, let me say this: documentation is your friend.
In both cases make yourself very aware of the intent and the content of said policies. For the little guy your refer them to section, subsection and paragraph of the policies, in a nice way... Look I understand that however, ... after that you are their to assist them in getting issues resolved and for this they should raise it with their manager/team leader, whatever the food chain is.
When it is the person at the top of the food chain you can also say sure no problem - I am happy to circumvent the securtiy/company/whatever policy so long as you put it in writing, email will do, that I have performed this task on your behalf.
IT's role in this issue has to be clearcut. A lot like swimming with Pirahnas. You are in or out, there is no dipping a toe in water to take the temperature.
Hope this helps. Let me know if there is any more that I can do to enlighten.
Oct 15, 2009 at 4:56 UTC
Best way to say "no" is to change their login password to 256bit, min 32 chars, with a 1 day (or less) expiration. Decrease the expiration as the user gets more hardass ;)
Oct 15, 2009 at 9:21 UTC
Dealing with people like this is always going to be a probability. The good news is that most people are not like this.
After you say "no" and saying it again in a still polite response you just have to extricate yourself. They will try and "But I don't understand" you to death. (By the way they don't like it much when they start a sentence with "I don't understand" and you butt in with "I do understand that you don't understand" - I don't do that often anymore.) Anyway if they are in your office then leave and go work on an "important problem". If you are in their office you're good to go so you should.
I agree that in extreme cases you have to take it to someone higher on the management food chain but that's only been necessary for me a few times. But it does happen.
Oct 15, 2009 at 3:17 UTC
In your particular situation, I would have played the "dumb" card with, "I understand what you are saying, but I do not know the exact answer for that."
In a situation I had almost exactly like that, I learned that the users can not change forms as it would violate an audit. For a timecard form, it would have to be approved by a collaboration of people from HR and another group.
Another thing I might add is that I don't have to answer every question everyone thinks they deserve an answer for. Someone else came up with the rule, let them explain why. I guarantee you, that if they explained it to the user(s), they would get their point across better.
Oct 15, 2009 at 4:00 UTC
Definitly feel your pain, but as IT types, our loyalty is to the company, not an individual, and as such, we have to document everything (that's why I like a ticket system so much). The other part is to inform individals what they're asking is gross violation of that policy, and will take approval from their manager (If they are a pain in the tush, chances are their manager is painfully aware of that).
Also, that's why we have supervisors. If I have an issue, I go to my boss, who will then handle things for me (that's his job). Karl didn't get in his job by being a nice guy (he's very good at being able to tell people to go to hell, and have them ask for directions). If it's wrong, it's wrong. Don't let them push you around.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
It might be worth pointing out that you are an employee, just like them, and have no ability to alter a decision that you are not a part of. They don't the janitor to break the rules for them so why are they asking you? (Maybe they do ask the janitor so that might not be the best example, for all we know the janitor is their $1 "filmed on a camcorder in the theater in Malaysia" DVD dealer.)
Oct 15, 2009 at 7:25 UTC
"It may be possible to make that happen for you, but any modifications to this firmwide document have to go through the modification approval process. If you could send me a written document presenting a business-based case for making the change you want, I can review that document for whether it's technically possible or not.
But it would still have to go through the administrative manager who's in charge of the time sheet document, then payroll/HR, then accounting. When they have all reviewed it and have recognized that the case you make for the change is the best course of action, and I get the word form them to make the change, I'll make sure to expedite that for you and notify you right away. How soon can you get me your written case for making the proposed change, so that we can get the ball rolling?"
Sometimes bureaucracy can be your friend.

I must have to explain our processes at the bank five to ten times per day. The issues range from annoying to draconian depending on the issue. "Luckily" I am just as affected by the processes as everyone else so we tend to identify and sympathize more than anything. The us against them mentality can be your friend.
Oct 16, 2009 at 12:22 UTC
Bureaucracy can be worded simpler in a smaller company.
I answer to the owner, so I usually tell them that "the owner himself has already denied this for someone else, but if you can get him to tell me to do it....."
Usually nobody will bother the owner.....

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/7/2013 (1509 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you think the battles waged in the trenches between offensive and defensive linemen somewhat resemble elephant seals jousting on the beach during mating season, Bryant Turner put a show on in Montreal on Thursday night that demonstrates just how strategic and complicated defensive-line play can actually be.
First, and most importantly, while being carted off the field on a stretcher at the end of a game is a scary proposition for any player, I have been assured that Turner will be fine and should return to action sooner rather than later. After undergoing a battery of tests in Montreal, he was released from the hospital Friday and will be back in Winnipeg by the time you are reading this.
There is an assumption out there defensive linemen are simply better-looking versions of offensive linemen, with half the brains and twice the athleticism, and to a degree, that is true.
For 15 years, my responsibilities did not stray much further than the "A" gap or "B" gap against the run, and hall of fame linemen and coaches will be the first to tell you that you only really need two good pass-rush moves to be successful at the pro level, along with a counter-move to go with them. Yet what Turner displayed with his final Calvillo pasting in a three-sack, two-tackle night is the difference between a good player and one that is becoming great is understanding how the field of play is nothing more than a chess board.
To set the stage properly, you need to understand that defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan is a man who absolutely loves to run stunts with the front four on passing downs. When we were practising in the post-season in 2011, he would actually cut out inside-run period on day 3 of preparation simply to spend more time working stunts with the front four. Aside from straight pass-rushing against the man you are lined up over, there are two primary stunts that Creehan likes to run on either side of the line. The first is the "T/E," where the defensive tackle penetrates the B gap like his hair is on fire, assumes contain responsibilities, and then the defensive end loops around inside of him. The other is the opposite, an "E/T." The defensive end penetrates and makes an inside move into the "B" gap, and the defensive tackle waits for him to clear and pick his guard, and then wraps around him. What Turner did with his final sack that effectively sealed the victory for the Bombers and capped off a night of brilliant defensive play, is essentially what happens when a player evolves and his physical skills match his mental cognition.
To properly qualify his achievement, you need to know he wasn't going against some rookie, some nobody fresh out of an obscure Canadian university. The victim of Turner's brilliance was none other than Scott Flory, probably the best guard to ever play for the Montreal Alouettes, and a sure-fire CFL Hall of Famer on a bad day.
All game long the Bombers ran stunts to great effect against an immobile QB who was suddenly vulnerable due to the absence of a maximum-protection scheme and a Marc Trestman offence that used to emphasize getting the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible. By the time the Alouettes had the football with time expiring, with one last chance to tie the game, Turner had probably run 10 different stunts against Flory, including numerous "E/T's" where Turner would try to influence the guard inside, widening the gap for his end to penetrate into, then looping around after his end had cleared.
Yet amid the exhaustion, chaos and final frantic moments of the fourth quarter, Turner had the presence of mind to realize he had set up Flory perfectly. After the ball was snapped, he followed the exact pattern he had all game, when he ran this "E/T" stunt. He tried to influence Flory inside and hesitated as he waited for his end to make an inside move and clear the B gap yet again. Flory picked up on this right away and jumped out to meet the end. He figured Turner was going to loop, so he turned away from Bryant to face the end, only the end never came and Turner never looped.
It may have been the easiest sack Turner ever gets, because he fooled the guard into turning away from him without even touching him, allowing him a direct and free path to the quarterback. Yet it never could have happened if he hadn't deliberately set it up throughout the entire game and capitalized when it meant the most.

Things On the Horizon
Three things that are on the horizon are the second anniversary of Eclectic Grooves on October 23rd, a new Rediscoveries of Lost Gems post and a new post featuring Halloween music. At this point, I don't know exactly what I want to do for my Second Anniversary Post, but it will definitely be something special. The next entry under the Rediscoveries of Lost Gems series will undoubtedly be exciting for free jazz aficionados. I have noticed a spike in the popularity of my Halloween posts, so I have checked the previous year's Halloween posts and the links are still active. So make sure to check the archives for those Halloween treats. I will probably post a couple new Halloween-themed posts this year, so be on the lookout for those too.
Also, there will be a new podcast surfacing sometime in the next couple days.
In the meantime, here are some tunes that have been slaying me lately:
Max Roach- Another Valley- Spiritual jazz that features Roach firing on all cylinders behind a stunning orchestral choir. It is very similar in scope to Andrew Hill's Lift Every Voice.
Deerhoof- Numina O- I can't get the spiraling, intertwining guitars from "Numina O" out of my head and the schizophrenic song structure of "Eaguru Guru" provides a mind-bending backdrop for Satomi's sugar-laced-with-arsenic melodies I dare you to sit still while listening to this record!
Juana Molina- Un Dia- Juana's hypnotic, repetitive phrasing on the title track combines with undulating rhythms that build into an absolutely mesmerizing wall of sound that is reminscent of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman".
Debris- Witness- This album is a furious mixture of punk, jazz, experimental and classic rock that is beyond classification. "Witness" reminds me of the unbridled enthusiasm of The Stooges mixed with the off-kilter song structures of the Swell Maps.
Extra Golden- Ok-Oyot System- I have been hearing about these guys for a long time, so I finally had to see what all the hype was about. It is similar to a lot of other African high-life music, but with more attention given to the complex guitar sound. The title track features an infectious groove and melody that hold your attention until the intense climax of fuzz-guitars send you on your way to a blissful state of mind.
What do you think of this eclectic batch of tunes? I'm interested in what you guys think , so please sound off in the comments.

Is it a normal thing that upper management make decisions on their own without any input from the effected parties?
Apparently, we are becoming an all HP shop rather than our current all dell shop. Is that normal? Im pretty sure that is a big undertaking with moving all the support over and having two support contracts while we leave dell and move to HP right?
Apr 21, 2011 at 7:59 UTC
Completely normal. Know everything about IT because they read the Sunday Times. Anyone been told we oughtn't replace the aircon, since the 'cloud' makes server rooms unnecessary?

Well, I guess it depends on your perspective. If you're an IT middle manager, you should have been involved, in a decent structure. If you're not in management, then you're finding out about it like the rest of the users :)
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:07 UTC
They're not the ones who have to physically support the move nor the ones who are paying for it out of their own pockets, thus it's easy for them to make decisions in a vacuum.
That said, I'm sure *something* happened which triggered this move. Did you have a recent spate of unplanned downtime? Did Dell not respond in what manglement thinks was a positive or timely manner?
Maybe they think it can be avoided in the future with a change in vendors?
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:09 UTC
Sadly yes. This is completely normal.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:15 UTC
Sadly yes. This is completely normal.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:19 UTC
It's completely normal. They make uninformed decisions by choice and IT gets to clean up the mess.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:20 UTC
Yup. Normal. We closed an office without anyone knowing. I'm still trying to find equipment and deal with the contracts. lol.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:30 UTC
I wouldn't say they have no input, since this would sound like you are not informing them of possible effects, this is rather more a "business" desition besides a "techie" one. Maybe they got a better discount from HP, maybe someone told them it was a better idea to buy HP rather than Dell, you should investigate a little more upon what made them take this and make a statement if you're responsible for the IT area. If this is your case, try and get some involvement upon hearing what they are cooking, not exactly take desitions because as it seems they won't allow you, but rather to give your technical advise upon what they are deciding and how this will impact the area you manage.
If you're not responsible for the IT area (manager or so), then this is quite common, recommend you to keep your manager informed and comment issues that will come from this change.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:38 UTC
Normal, yes. Desirable, no. Probably it's a matter of something as simple as someone has a friend-of-a-friend who works at the other company, or the CEO's grandkid telling him that "Dells suck, get an HP". Or, a misunderstanding such as when someone's $1000 HP he got for Christmas is so much faster than the fleet of Dells that you bought for the company for $500 each seven years ago and still don't have the budget or permission to replace.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:38 UTC
nah - im a sys admin and my boss just let me know that he got an email that stated we signed up for some kind of purchasing through a company that does not have Dell as one of their vendors. Only HP. We are emailing back and forth right now but as far as I can tell, it was made to save money. We have never had a problem with Dell.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:39 UTC
It's normally especially in larger corps.. I'm guessing like some of the other posters that they got better pricing on equipment purchases costs and maintenance contracts. Is it a big deal? Depends on if they are requiring this for just all future purposes or if they are telling you that you have to get off all your existing equipment. I'm thinking its probably the formal vs the latter so I'm not sure that its that big a deal.... We're a HP server shop with Dell workstations... in the end I wouldn't care if we were the opposite as long as there's a good support team on the other side when I need them (as generally speaking I feel like most pc/server manufacturers have analogs for each others features at this point).
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:44 UTC
Depending on whree you're at, it's normal. IT, unfortunatly, is looked upon a necessary evil, and since many don't understand what we do, they give us what they think we want (or don't want). Some of it is about money, some of it about who they know, and so forth.

Yes, we are at a point where the company wants to give customers 1920x1080 resolution laptops at 15 inches, going through 3rd parties to produce them. If they would have asked the IT dept first we could have told them that there are not that many options for that specific kind of laptop, rather than running around trying to figure out what to do.
Apr 20, 2011 at 1:59 UTC
It's typical. Just look at it positively as job security. :)

Sadly, "management by Skymall" is very common. It's a sign that the management team you're reporting to isn't topflight, but in reality it's very rare to find a business with topflight management. The thing that I used to have to deal with constantly was some member of the management team reading about some neat idea (often in an inflight magazine, which is where the phrase "management by Skymall" comes from), ordering us to "find out how we can use this in our business", then ignoring the proposal we come up with because they've moved on, often having forgotten that they even asked us to prepare the proposal. On some occasions we even got berated for proposing to waste their money to implement the idea they had ordered us to implement.
Also, I can't count how many times I had to explain why we didn't need a Barracuda Internet Firewall. Yes, I know, Mr. CFO, your college buddy's son is a sales guy for them. That doesn't mean we need one. Really.

One of the biggest quirks about working where I do, before I was hired, this place didn't have an IT department, so management got used to making all the decisions for IT related needs. It's proven a bit tough over the past year to break the boss lady of that bad habit and for her to let me make the decisions regarding our IT infrastructure.
Apr 20, 2011 at 3:10 UTC
Don't be negative about it - yea it happens. Look at it as a challenge - you will learn something new - If you have no control over the outcome, approach it with an "I will take care of this - no problem!" attitude. If you come across as a team player, you will build more respect and they will eventually listen to you and your recommendations hopefully.
Apr 20, 2011 at 3:14 UTC
Yup... this is 100% normal. I've hardly ever heard of an upper manager consulting his people before doing something.
Apr 20, 2011 at 3:18 UTC

If I could count the times...
It would be so nice to actually have an upper management team that actually worked with their staff instead of just up and deciding something.

Not smart, but relatively common. It's a mistake that the business sees IT (or whatever department) as a cost center and sees it as purely commodity - one server is the same as the next. They might take more into account than you think, but probably not. Although they might have insights that you do not as well. But it should be a conversation, not a mandate. Why pay for technical expertise if the big decisions are going to be made without input?

My Info
John "Web Master" and "Station Opp"
My small Station
I was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands and my family immigrated to Canada in 1953. Then in 1965 I joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Radar and Electronics Technician. I spent 6 years in the RCAF and then 4 years in the Army Reserves as a communication specialist. I moved to Calgary in 1981 and have been here since.
I became a licensed Ham in 1964 and was active until 1975 and then put Ham Radio aside for a while. I got back into the hobby in 1991 and have been back at it ever since. I have a small compact station and operate on all the bands from 160 meters to 70 cm. I cover all modes from SSB to Digital (and yes even CW). I enjoy the Digital modes most of all and am getting back into CW.
My station consists of a Yaesu FTdx 1200 and a Yaesu Ft-897D used for all modes and a 220 Wouxun hand held. My antenna is a MHJ Super HI-Q Loop that covers 15 to 40 meters, a 80 to 6 meter indoor window loop (home made) antenna and a Tarheel 400 mobile fed into a LDG Z11 Pro II antenna tuner. For VHF/UHF I use a Anli 2 Dual Bander and/or a 2 meter JPole. I presently live in a seniors apartment building that doesn't allow outside antenna so all my antennas are inside and surprisingly they work better than I expected.
I enjoy being a "Ham" and although I like DX, Rumor has it that I enjoy having QSO's with anyone , anywhere , anytime on any band in any mode, but then again it's only a rumor.
I am a member of the European Phase Shift Keying Club, Fists Club, ARRL, QRZ, HRDLog.net,PODXs and the Ham Radio Nation.

Mary J Blige Beyonce Duet
November 20, 2011 by staff
Mary J Blige Beyonce Duet, Mary J. Blige thinks recording her duet with Beyoncé Knowles was an 'amazing' experience.
Mary and Beyoncé sang tune, Love a Woman, together, which is a track on Mary's upcoming album. Although the song was originally slated for Beyoncé's newest record, 4, the star decided that the arrangement would be better for Mary's musical effort.
Mary is delighted with their first time collaboration.
"[Love a Woman] was a song [Beyoncé] recorded for her album that didn't fit her album and she sent it through her A&R people to give to me," Mary told to MTV News. "When the song came, her voice was on it completely and it was just amazing and I wasn't sure that they wanted to give me this record because it was so amazing."
Mary is so happy with the song that she is considering making it one of her album's single releases. She is aware that Beyoncé is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z, so Mary will not impose any promotional commitments on her.
"I'm sure Love a Woman would be a single but I can't really trouble Beyoncé right now; she's pregnant and I'm sure she's doing her stuff. So whenever she's ready, if she's ever ready, I'm ready and it'll be great."
