Man, I'd forgotten how awful Gawker commenters are.
Not sure anyone knows, but, DJ White will be a Celtic past this season. Good for him.
My offseason FA wishlist:
Sergio Rodriguez (backup pg)
Thomas Robinson (backup pf)
Andray Blatche (starting pf - replacing West)
Corey Brewer (starting sg/sf - interchangeable w/ PG)
What is this? How is this? How is Cleveland beating Miami by 21 points.
It seems the streak has come to an end!
Yay, I don't know if we're going back to the play-offs!
Miami is going to win this basketball game.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.

This was said when it was a 21 point deficit. Just to clarify.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
Miami was clowning with the fans, Lebron was clowning with them.
So the Heat are going to be 26-1 with Birdman. Coincidence?
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
How did a lineup of Livingston Ellington Miles Gee Thompson get a 28 point lead?
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
I swear those replays made it look like LeBron flicked the ball the last second and it should've been CLE ball.
It looked simultaneous to me. And they had already ruled it Miami ball so not conclusive evidence to overturn it in my mind.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
The idea of playing Boston in the first round is very scary.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.

I would find it interesting to see the Heat come into San Antonio streak intact and the Spurs end it after the fall out from the previous meeting. Interestingly, the Spurs play the Clips the Friday before, the Grizz in the second of a back to back the Monday following, and then OKC the Wed. after that. Not an easy 4 games.
Miami's going to win the championship again.
Any team we face in the playoffs is going to be scary. The East is a lot stronger overall than last year.

Coburn sees no imminent Senate deal on guns
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) on Sunday cast some doubt on the progress of a Senate group trying to strike an agreement on background checks for gun sales – and flatly ruled out a provision that would require keeping records of such transactions.
"I don't think we're that close to a deal," Coburn said on "Fox News Sunday." "And there absolutely will not be recordkeeping on legitimate, law-abiding gun owners."
Coburn is part of a bipartisan group of senators negotiating a deal on background checks on gun sales, along with Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.). The Washington Post reported Saturday that the group of senators was on the "verge" of an agreement on background checks, but one sticking point is over keeping records of private gun sales.
On Sunday, Coburn said record-keeping provisions could "kill" the agreement.He

2 fluid ounces

1 fluid ounce
sour apple schnapps
1/2 fluid ounce
butterscotch schnapps
1 cup
crushed ice
1 slice
dried apple
This martini is delicious!! Added some caramel syrup to the rim of the glass--a bit sticky but tasty! Or you can even swirl some caramel syrup in the bottom of the glass before pouring the martini in--mmmmmm! Also try throwing in a Maraschino cherry.
This was pretty good. We tweaked it a little, subsituting chilled apple juice and omitting the ice for a refreshing summer drink. I felt the caramel flavour could have been stronger but overall twas nice.

This is my favorite drink in the world!!! the trick is to add a splash of sour mix. I just eyeball it but I use2 parts vodka, I part sour apple schnapps, 1 part buttershots, and half part sour mix. I also use a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to rim the glass. its my ultimate indulgence
I've never had one of these before, but I love regular sour appletinis. I am having a cocktail party soon and so I've been looking into new fun drinks and this was great! Tasted very good! Be careful because after 2 or 3 of these you will be feeling great!
I swirl carmel sauce inside the martini glass. The kind you use on ice cream! Yum!!!
VERY strong. I made it as written and it was too strong to drink, so I altered it and made 2 parts sour apple pucker, 2 parts butterscotch schnapps, 1 part vanilla vodka, and 2 parts apple juice. Much better.
I love sour apple martinis and this recipe is awesome!! I added an ounce of apple juice to this too and it was good.
made these for our Halloween Party, the only changes I made was to use a whole ounce of butterscotch schnapps and add an ounce of apple juice to dilute it a bit, LOL...it was AWESOME!!!

1 pound
lean ground beef
1 (1.25 ounce) package
taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) can
chili beans
1 (16 ounce) bottle
French dressing
1 head
iceberg lettuce
1 (14.5 ounce) package
tortilla chips
2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup
chopped tomatoes
4 tablespoons
sour cream
1/2 cup
prepared salsa
I like this recipe alot because it is different, although I fix it differently than above, and this taco salad is a huge hit at all my family gatherings. My family expects it. I use Catalina dressing only, and I add Doritos to instead of plain chips (nacho flavor is the best but you can use any flavor) I also omit the sour cream and add black olives. Instead of putting the dressing with the meat, I mix it all except the dressing and the Doritos, then mix while serving so the chips don't get soggy. Delicious!
I didnt like the combined flavor of the taco seasoning and the french dressing. I ended up throwing most of it out. Probably wont make again.

Omgoodness, we ate too much of this! First of all, we browned the the beef with onion and used homemade taco seasoning (Taco Seasoning I) from this site. We omitted the beans. We did add water to simmer the meat. Then we had chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, bagged, shredded lettuce, salsa and sour cream to build our taco salad. We had fritos instead of tortilla chips. I sat out the Catalina dressing so that everyone could control the amount. We used fat free sour cream, cheese and catalina dressing. We tried to make this as healthy as possible. This was delicious!
I make this same recipe but I don't cook the dressing in the hamburger mixture and I omit the chili beans. I mix everything up (hamburger cooled) and pour the dressing over the salad fixings and combine - I also use crushed nacho cheese Dorito's instead of tortilla chips.
We have made this recipe for years but the way to make it really tasty is to use Doritos instead of plain tortilla chips. It adds another dimension of flavor.
Great fill-in dinner when my original plan didn't work out. I made my own taco seasoning and my own French dressing. I did not water down the dressing. My kids and husband ate their taco salad with the tortilla chips but I had mine with just lettuce, tomatoes, a tablespoon of reduced fat sour cream and homemade salsa. This was enjoyed by all.
This was so good, I would suggest adding the meat mixture to the lettuce as it is served to each individual person. I couldn't save it for another meal because the lettuce wilted and the chips went soft.
This recipe went over really well with ALL the family. The dressing and taco mix gave it the zip it needed!! In anticipation of a big appetite, I doubled this recipe, It was so much food! Unless your feeding an army, dont double. Out of 12 in our family, only 1 did not like this. Again as some of the other reviews, I didn't add near the amount of water it called for (only about 1/2), and it made it nice and perfect!!

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I want to hear others' thoughts on this subject to help prove to someone esle what par should be on a given hole.
This such person claims that a Par 3 doesn't have to be reachable for a putt at birdie (assume an "average" amateur playing from the am pads or the "average" pro from the pro pads). Well....I asked how then, are you supposed to birdie that Par 3??? (my opinion is that if a hole isn't able to be birdied, then the Par is wrong and should be adjusted) Their response is "a Par 3 doesn't have to be birdie-able to be a Par 3". Does that even make sense???
PDGA's definition of Par is: "As determined by the director, the score an expert disc golfer would be expected to make on a given hole. Par means errorless play under ordinary weather conditions, allowing two close range throws to hole-out."
As on the PGA Tour,
Most Par 3s are reachable by the "average" pro in 1 shot, giving a chance for a birdie with a successful putt ("a close range shot").
Most Par 4s are reachable by the "average" pro in 2 shots, giving a chance for a birdie with a successful putt ("a close range shot").
Most Par 5s are reachable by the "average" pro in 3 shots, giving a chance for a birdie with a successful putt ("a close range shot").
I would assume that a "close range throw" is a PUTT. So according to their definition, a Par 3 for example would mean that that given hole should take 1 shot to get into putting distance and two "close range throws" to hole-out (get a PAR). If you make the first putt, you are awarded with a BIRDIE. Am I right in my thinking? Or am I wrong in assuming a "close range throw" is a PUTT?
Another reason for this discussion is that our course here in Tally, FL has some questionable Pars for some people (mainly alot of Par 3.5s). If alot of our holes aren't even close to being reachable for the "average" amateur from the short pads (am pads), why should it be a Par 3 for them if a birdie (2) is a rare occurrence? (I also have to say the course design wasn't the greatest but that was a while back) It should be a Par 4 then or lengthened some to make it more of a true Par 4.
Please give me your thoughts on this subject

Hey Dave,Do you remember hole 13 in the Cliff Stevens tourney. The avarage score was 4.4 there. I saw a lefty advanced player make a twenty footer for three.I thought that was a birdie.
Well said Steve. And if anyone out there is watching any of the Masters tournament in ball golf you will see that they show scores vs. par on the leaderboard. If any of you were to go to Augusta National and shoot par I am certain that you would be very happy because it is a difficult course and a score of par would show that you have talent. In ball golf distance is one of the biggest factors in determining par. So par gets set and then the players go out and challenge themselves against the course. Of course pin positions can be changed to make things a bit easier or quite a bit harder.
It is no different in disc golf. And probably the biggest thing about par is the ability of a player to gauge how they are doing during a round relative to par. If you are over par you probably aren't shooting all that well unless conditions are bad. If you are under par you are probably having a good round. Also par gives you a way to figure out how many strokes you might need to "gain" if you are trying to catch up.
If you play one course a lot keeping track of your score relative to par can also give you an idea if you might win some cash in league or not. Last night my partner and I pretty much knew that 6 down was not going to take any money because the course was not playing that hard. In my mind I was shooting to get to 10 down. If we had done that we would have won because 9 down was the best score.
One big difference in disc golf is that par is set to such widely varying standards. Of the two courses I play most, I average about 15 under par on 1, about 7 over par on the other. On the former you want to do much more than beat par; on the latter, if I ever par it people will be reading about it online.
Yes...great hole Steve. I was able to 3 it once as well by throwing over everything off the tee. But with the rarity of seeing a 3 recorded (even among the elite pros), I feel that the 3 should be considered slightly more than a birdie which makes sense with a 4.4 average. IMO, it is a tweener Par 4/5 with the two OBs creating a long narrow fairway with trees limiting your distance off of the tee.
The fact that you only remember one amateur player scoring a three on the hole tells me that it was a rarity, and a birdie should not be a rare occurrence. I actually remember any lefty or RHFH with a bomb hyzer easily had a distinct advantage by going around the trees and fading away from OB into the fairway, so it doesn't surprise me that he was the only 3 from an amateur that you saw. btw, has that person moved up yet?
and guys let's remember that although it is obvious that Par is irrelevant to total raw score and that all 3s is easier for score keeping, the discussion is on "how to determine par?" and not "does par even matter?". but I do like how steve west and MIDiscGolfer confirmed reasons why having a Par is essential and therefore makes this discussion Relevant.
Fair enough. There are a number of theories out there. The PDGA rules definition is pretty vague; they have a chart based on distance and foliage that's a little better. Chuck Kennedy touts SA (Scoring Average). I go with something like SA while looking at the scoring spread of a hole, the median score, the most common score, the eye of a newt, stirred together.....
One question is whether par should be based on a scratch pro (1000-rated player), or the skill level the course was designed for. If the latter, then it's not really translatable between courses designed for different skill levels.
Some methods result in Par-2 holes, which affronts people and these holes get reclassified as Par-3s, which results in some people shooting 10 under par. Regardless, we play these holes as if they were Par-2s---if we don't get a 2 we feel we've blown the hole, and we've surely lost strokes to the competition.
I think saying holes should be reasonably birdieable, and counting par from that ("1 stroke above the score that occurs often enough to not be a fluke") isn't particularly useful. As I posted before, a hole that gets mostly 3s if played well but some 4s if the thrower makes a mistake, is still a par-3 to me.
Hence, the different colored tees for different skill levels.
I like "the lowest score that at least 37% of the players (of the intended skill level) get that or better".
Like the other aspects of "par", the color system for skill levels is not universally applied. I'm not even sure if it's commonly applied. And even less known by disc golfers.
I'm a white level player, I think, playing a blue level course, I think. I'm not sure if I need to establish separate "pars" for different skill levels, or say I shot "8-over-blue-par", or what my score on this course means compared to my score on a white-level course.
On the other hand, if pars are set to a uniform skill level of scratch par, the other course I play a lot has about 14 par-2s.
Why 37%? Instead of, say, 50%?
1/e (~37%) has some information theory things going for it, and because that's enough players to tell me that a hole can be played that way (=par) without a miracle happening. Par is better than average, because average includes all the players that make one or more mistakes. So, the bounds are: more often than a miracle, less often than half the players.
If you only know average scores (or projected average scores on a new course), you can set par to n for scores from n-1/3 up to n+2/3. That's fairly close to Chuck's use of rounded SSA (or skill-level average). It's even closer when you realize he throws out the outlying high scores before determining the "average".
As for the colors, just because we're not there yet doesn't mean it's not the direction we should be heading. We are so early in the development of disc golf, that there is still time for a standard to become nearly ubiquitous. If all the states get to the level of Iowa in courses per capita, then something like 90% of courses in the U.S. have yet to be built. Not to mention China, Europe, etc.
There is a lot to be said for just using 1000-rated par. Especially for comparing courses. Perhaps it should be included alongside skill-level based par.
The trouble is, everyone will want a way to translate that into what they expect to score. The tee colors, with their own pars, seems to be the most understandable way to do that. It's certainly easier than the slope and rating system for golf.
Your "8 over blue par" would be expected to be about the same no matter which course you're playing the blue tees on. Add or subtract about 5 (more for longer courses, less for shorter) for each level.. You should be 3 over white, 2 under red, or 13 over gold.
Enough courses around here have "standard" tee colors that my wife knows from the tee color how many "extra par" she gets per hole when we play a new course.
Not only do I believe in the existence of par 2's, I see some evidence they are the most effective way to separate players by skill level. Think of 3 par 2 180-foot holes, vs. 1 par 4 600-foot hole. Each par 2 hole will provide more scoring separation than the par 4. And you get three of them for the same chunk of land.
Perhaps that's why we have so many par 2's, even if we don't label them right.
Thanks, Steve. Lots of good information there.
I don't want to give the impression that I'm disparaging the color system. If it were more widely and consistently applied, I'd love it. Which is also true about systems for determining par. But I'd probably need either multiple teepads, or multiple pars listed on the signs for single teepad ("Gold 3, Blue 4, White 4, Red 5").
I'm in the group that doesn't think par is of great importance, but I'm interested in the competing systems of those that do. It's curious how often they arrive at the same par for a given hole.
In the meantime I have my own "pars" for the courses I play---what I think I should get (par), what makes me happy (birdie), and what costs me (bogey and more). And I'm playing par-2s, whether anyone puts them on the sign or not.
As for the single par based on 1000-rated players, I'm not a ball golfer but isn't that roughly how it works? Other than shorter tees? Something seems odd about a world where people shoot 12-under-par, and where everyone expects to shoot under par, using an adjustable scale to suit his ability.
You say par isn't important, yet you have your own "pars" for the courses you play. That term "my own par" describes what everyone wants to know. What should I score if I don't mess up? Did I do well today, or was this course just easy?
Golf has a messy way of doing that, with its slopes and ratings and Handicap Index(tm), which all just gives you some strokes that you then have to spread out over the holes and subtract from your score which you then compare to the Course Rating(tm) - which is sort of like a gender-based par - to figure whether you scored well. It's a bunch of steps. And instead of subtracting the strokes from their score, a lot of people add the strokes to get to "My Par". It seems easier to think about it that way - it gives you a number to shoot for on each hole.
Multiple tee pads or multiple pars on one tee pad both work. You can read My Par right off the tee sign, just look for your skill level. Even if people don't have a PDGA rating, after a few rounds they'll figure out which par is closer to what they score.
With a par based on a score which is based on something better than average, a player would need to play better than their average to get under My Par. So, everyone wouldn't expect to shoot under the par suited to his ability, but could hope to on a good day.
The two things that do the most to generate those huge under par scores are labeling all par 2's as par 3's, and using average scores to set par.

This is a bit of a complaint, but I am curious to see if my recent 250DX problem is common.
I bought my Synchrowave (SN preface code LG) new in June of 2007. It probably has less than 25 hours (no more than 50 for sure) total power-on time on it in my home hobby shop. Most of my (occasional) shop time is spent machining; welding is not done very frequently and is mostly small items. Grinding/filing/machining doesn't take place next ti the welder.
I'd had an old Miller 330 that I replaced with this new Synchrowave when the 330 died in the middle of a project. I'd been hoping that spending the money on a brand new machine would get me trouble-free operation for a very long time considering how infrequently I use it. The 250DX worked fine until it didn't.
A couple weeks ago I was doing some aluminum welding and the machine started acting up. I tried to troubleshoot it (no dangling wires/blown capacitors, good power to it, no grinding particle/dust build up inside) and after a talk with Miller tech support I arranged for a service call, as Miller figured it was probably the main circuit board (what I'd consider a motherboard since it has the microprocessor and control circuits on it) that was at fault.
Yesterday, after 3.5 hours of tech time and a $900 replacement board (a newer version that also included a replacement of different specification for one of the giant resistors in the machine as well as an extra bridge rectifier) the 250DX was fixed.
The original motherboard looks like it gets a 3 year warranty, so that was up June 2010.
Is this a common failure? It appears Miller had reason to make the replacement a new board (different part number, blue phenolic for the board instead of green, extra parts included with the replacement board) so there must have been some shortcoming in the original part
The original board in the welder was #209877F and I was told the current part uses #237587. There are also different software/revision codes showing up when the machine is turned on.
It would be nice if Miller could add a runtime clock to their control boards and factor the actual running hours into their warranty. It seems like that should be pretty cheap to implement/program at a time when they do a board revision. I'd think they might even find the clock data useful for determining mean time between failures (MTBF) for their manufacturing and design process.
Sure, probably most people who buy a welder at this price level are going to use it a fair amount because they are buying it for a commercial shop and the machine needs to pay for itself. But I suspect that I'm not the only hobbyist who thinks "I'll go with a nice industry standard machine because I can squeeze it into the hobby budget and it will save me money and bother in the long run and bring me peace of mind."
Unfortunately, Mr. Murphy seemed to be watching when I made that decision and between the parts and labor I've just spent an additional 50% of the purchase price of the welder.
Intellectually I can appreciate that sometimes things just break, but "just breaks" combined with "oh, we've got a new and improved replacement part for that with additional replacement parts and new software as a part of the package" makes me wonder about the quality of the original part and whether there should have been some sort of recall and/or warranty extension on it.

Synchrowave 250DX motherboard failure -- is it common?
Not common at all, what did the techs say was the root cause of the failure?

There was nothing wrong with the rest of the machine, so it was a "this board is broken and you need to replace it" failure mode.
Here's a shot of the original board and the big resistor that was replaced with a different one that came with the new board:
There's nothing visibly wrong with the old board. No bulging/leaking capacitors, no signs of arcing, etc. And things sort of worked (but erratically and with problems) in DCP and AC while DCN gave a HLP 11 "selector out of position" error and nothing would work in that setting so it wasn't totally blown out.
It appears to be a case of electronic "sudden crib death". I know that sometimes electronic parts will do that, and if they get past that initial 10-20 or so hours generally they'll work fine after that as long as nothing is done to them to break them.
No one would be happy to shell out $1455 to fix what is basically a brand new welder.
If it had died because of a lightning strike or utility transformer blowing (or having something heavy fall off of a fork lift on to it) it could be marked down as "just one of those things that happens". Having it go out after very limited use and then finding that there's $900 in completely different parts that have superceded the failed parts leaves kind of a bad taste. I'd hoped that when I talked to the Miller tech support and was told that there was a new version of the board with additional parts and protective circuits that the next words might be a "oh, sorry about that, we'll cover a significant portion of the parts cost because we had enough problems with that old board that we had to redesign it and we want to stand behind our product."
Hopefully it will stay fixed forever now so I won't have to deal with finding a replacement welder that might be more reliable. I'd expected this purchase to be a higher quality experience than if I'd bought some cheap import machine. Since there seem to be plenty of happy Miller owners I guess I just got unlucky by being sold one that was good enough to pass the production line inspection but not good enough to last long after that.

(2) Syncrowave 250dx board failures
I own three Syncrowave 250DX's in serial number range LF25 to

LG07.Two of the welders are down with board failures.

HLP-11 code is displayed. My welders have low hours as well.

I think Miller had issue(s) as well to discontinue the PC board #209877

and replace it with 237587.

Nothing like high parts prices to take out older machines. "Planned obsolescence" at its finest.
As a non-commercial user I go for used, cheap, and "redundant machines for backup" since they are often much cheaper than repair parts.
Commercial users can afford to treat machines as "consumables" and it pays to do it that way.
This is one reason why there isn't a transformer style machine in my shop.
They have so many buzzers and bells on them now that I don't see any reliability advantage over the inverters anymore.
I wouldn't mind an older synchowave in my shop. It would save me a few steps at times. No way I'm springing for a new one tho. YMMV

I'm surprised that Miller didn't make that a factory recall or free replacement part. The fact that another member had the same help code on 2 of his machines gives more creedence to your claim.

Syncrowave 250dx pc board problems
Well i also bought a syncrowave 250 dx and mine has probably less than 15 total hours and stays so clean you can eat off it. i am a one man shop and take excellent care of my equipment. i also got a help code and after calling the miller tech line come to the conclusion that this board is the problem and also gave me the NEW part number for the upgraded board. i agree with you i think this is a common problem but a way for them to get more money. i havent bought mine yet. if i used it all the time i would have to but i guess waiting to land another job that i need it so to justify buying it.
Well, it costs a whopping $150- $200 to fix the board at Radwell. (just had one done there)
Seems pointless to buy a new one.
As for board updates. Miller uses various manufacturers, thus different #'s.
As well as, they like all the other manufactures are trying to cut down on the # of boards used. So 1 board may fit 10 machines, as apposed to 10 machines using 10 dfferent boards. Makes better financial sence.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Is anybody out there aware of a Zip Line/High Ropes course that coexists with Disc Golf. If so share your thoughts...Hell, share them even if you don't know of one.
Our City in it's infinite wisdom is working to slap a Zoom Air Zip Line Deal directly on top of us.
Views: 720
Thanks man...Tomorrow I will look real close at those links...I'm beat right now.
I do want to add...the same company is negotiating with Tallahassee and looking at Tom Brown park. Tomorrow, I will send a message to Laymon...if he's not already aware of it.
Thanks for posting that. It does look like that could a be few perm baskets located in close proximity to that zip in Chapel Hill. That other link led to a tournament called the Zip Line Open in GA...I know Kieth...I sent him a message. Again Thanks for helping with the virtual leg work, BFunk
That's good stuff Funky1.... There are a couple of disc golf courses sharing space with Zip Liners. I'm still making calls and hopefully will hear back from Kieth. I talked to an operator at a place in Ohio 'Hocking Peaks adventure Park'. They have 3 holes that play under and in very close proximity to some of the Zips. No real problems to speak of. The occasional disc on a platform. It's common courtesy for both the guides and the golfers to yield to one and other. Guides don't let zippers zip when Discgolfers are throwing...Disc Golfers don't throw when Zippers are Zipping. Encouraging in one way. Our course, if they develop the zip park completely as planned at Tusc, we will have a lot more interaction with each other. The one thing the person I spoke said...and something I already knew is, make sure they have an arborist sign off on the health and stability of the trees.
There is a disc course in Conifer Colorado at Beaver Ranch that has zip lines right by the course. It would take a pretty bad throw to have them cross paths. The course has been in a few years and the zips just went in last year so there is not a large body of information available yet. The club up there is Foothill Flyers, not sure if they update their webpage regularly or not? If not, Mile High Disc Golf can get you contact info I believe. Rudy Gorke and Dave Ponotowiaski (or something close to that spelling) are the guys to talk to.
When you say directly on top of you....how low? I have been on zips that are 250 feet off the ground and I have been on some that are 25 feet up? Huge difference obviously.
We're in coastal central Florida....so the average height will be around 20 feet +/-
just talked to another guy in the Dakotas...they have 2 holes that play under and around Disc Golf...no real problem there either. Same courtesy applies.
Thanks for the tip on who to talk too.
Hey Jamie,
There is one I know of, in Lula Georgia. Kieth Johnson is a TD up there who knows all about it, from what I gathered. I'll try to get his # for you. wg
Already got it and talked to him..he was at work and will call me back this afternoon.
What we are up against:
Looks not that high off the ground and eats up space.....
ANYTIME,Always glad to help you Jamie. You always help me and everyone else. It's only fair to return the favor and help when I can.
Norbert, that link is to 'one' of their zip line courses.
Just like disc golf, zip line courses range in height, size, and technicality.
That video is using one of the lowest and more crowded courses you could imagine.
The one they want in Tuska may be like that, but I doubt it.
That one is the smallest one at the zoo, whose primary market is small children. Id imagine the market would be different at Tuska...
Don't see it more than 20 feet or more...
they don't want to scare anyone, and the trees move in the wind up higher.
Hope it does not go in myself.... sure there are more options for different locations.

Boba Fett makes cover.
View Larger
The book is expected in September, as the second part of a nine-book series. The cover is by Jason Felix, based on a publicity photo taken circa 1997 and seen in the Special Edition promo campaign with Pepsi.
"Civil war looms as the fledgling Galactic Alliance confronts a growing number of worlds set on rebellion — and the approaching war is tearing the Skywalker and Solo families apart. Han's Corellian roots and Luke's dedication to the Jedi order are driving a wedge between the families. Han and Leia's children, Jacen and Jaina, are soldiers in the Galactic Alliance's campaign to crush the insurgents. Luke and Mara are unable to protect their son Ben from war. The quest of an assassin draws out a dreaded name from the past: Boba Fett. And in the new galactic order, friends and enemies are no longer what they seem…"

Ashlee models the Jessica Simpson Collection (Ellen von Unwerth for the Jessica Simpson Collection)
Sister, sister!
Jessica Simpson is featuring Ashlee Simpson front and center for her new ad campaign. Here's your first look at the youngest Simpson sibling modeling the Jessica Simpson Fall 2013 Collection.
The glamour shots were taken by Ellen von Unwerth in Agoura Hills, California, where Jessica was on set overseeing the photo shoot.
While Jessica recovers from giving birth to baby number two – Ace Knute Johnson, who arrived on June 30 – Ashlee will temporarily take the reins of Jessica's soon-to-be $1 billion fashion empire. She is set to unveil this season's campaign at a press party on July 30 in NYC, according to E! News.
Ashlee, 28, was clearly quite inspired by working with sister.
"Yes [I'm designing my own line]," she told Life & Style. "It will be adult. It will definitely [be different from Jessica's.]"
Can't wait to see if she's as successful as Jess … she's a tough act to follow!

The senseless massacre that took place in a Connecticut elementary school is a tragic travesty of human behavior. There is little need to try and explain it because it was the act of an illogical, rage-filled human being. Trying to make it fit into a template of rational thought is futile.
What is even more futile and absurd are some of the Facebook posts I have seen claiming that because prayer is not allowed in schools, deranged mass murderers are permitted to murder children like shooting fish in a barrel! In essence, such untrained logic suggests that God is using innocent children as pawns to punish mankind. Give me a break! Then again, if religious fundamentalists cling to their rigid beliefs, maybe they really DO believe God is using innocent children as pawns.
Based on the logic of religious fundamentalists, God is omniscient and omnipotent, meaning: God is all-knowing and all-powerful. Stated plainly, God knows it all and can do anything God wants to do at any time. If so, then God must act in a twisted, morose manner sometimes when sick people are allowed to murder innocent children. But wait, this same God is also loving and merciful, and loves us unconditionally—except for maybe the children who die at the hands of insanity. Is anyone besides me getting dizzy on this merry-go-round fallacy?

National Guidance
for Teachers and Youth Professionals
The Department for Education (DfE) says:
"It is compulsory for schools to enforce measures that will encourage good behaviour and prevent all forms of bullying."
The DfE website includes pages which offer support for designing anti-bullying policies and strategies in schools and can be found at:
Preventing and Tackling Bullying: Advice for headteachers, staff and governing bodiesEarly in October 2011, the DfE published its new advice on preventing and responding to bullying as part of the overall behaviour policy of schools, sixth forms and colleges including academies, Free Schools, Pupil Referral Units and alternative providers. The advice also applies to Independent schools though their statutory obligations are different, as noted in relevant sections. The document can be downloaded from the DfE web page.
The Ofsted Framework for School Inspections: Behaviour and Safety
The new Ofsted framework came into force in 2012 and includes 'behaviour and safety' as one of the 4 key criteria for inspections. Find more information here:The Ofsted Framework
The section on Behaviour and Safety can be found in Section 2 of the framework and makes several references safeguarding and bullying. On page 15 it states that:
"When evaluating the behaviour and safety of pupils at the school, inspectors will consider:
- pupils' behaviour towards, and respect for, other young people and adults, including freedom from bullying and harassment that may include cyber-bullying and prejudice-based bullying related to special educational need, sexual orientation, sex, race, religion and belief, gender reassignment or disability."

See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] About 75 percent of Alzheimer disease cases are classified as sporadic, which means they occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family. Although the cause of these cases is unknown, genetic changes are likely to play a role. Virtually all sporadic Alzheimer disease begins after age 65, and the risk of developing this condition increases as a person gets older.Alzheimer disease is a degenerative disease of the brain that causes gradual loss of memory, judgment, and ability to function socially. Alzheimer disease currently affects about 5 million people.
The remaining cases of Alzheimer disease are familial, which means they are found in multiple members of a family. Familial Alzheimer disease can be divided into early-onset disease (symptoms begin before age 65) and late-onset disease (symptoms begin after age 65).[2]

The Charles County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to accept and send to public hearing a draft ordinance establishing a state-mandated watershed restoration fund and local stormwater fee that would cost rural homeowners twice as much as urban residents.
Last year, the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation requiring the state's 10 largest jurisdictions to implement the fee by July 1 to fund projects that reduce stormwater runoff.
The bill came on the heels of a 2010 order from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requiring states within the Chesapeake Bay watershed to abide by a "pollution diet" aimed at reducing the amount of pollutants they contribute to the estuary.
The commissioners spent little time discussing the ordinance and quickly voted to move it on to a public hearing, but not before Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) asked Charles Rice, environmental program manager, to briefly go over the actions taken by the federal and state governments that required the county to establish the fee.
"We are required by state law to approve this?" Robinson asked.
"Correct," Rice answered.
Environmentalists claim that much of the pollution in the Chesapeake Bay is attributable to rainwater washing nutrients into the bay and that properties with the most "impervious surface" produce the most runoff.
"Impervious surface" is defined in the state bill as "a surface that does not allow stormwater to infiltrate into the ground" and includes buildings, parking lots, driveways, patios, sidewalks and outdoor athletic courts.
The amount of impervious surface in each jurisdiction has been calculated from a 2011 aerial survey of the state. A county consultant prepared an impervious surface map between July and January.
The impervious surface of each parcel was calculated using a digital map and broken into five separate classifications — urban single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, rural residential and agricultural.
The average impervious surface for urban homes was calculated at 3,255 square feet, which was set as the base unit — equivalent residential unit — used to calculate the fee for the remaining classifications. For each ERU a property has, $32 will be assessed to its tax bill.
Because the average impervious surface for townhomes came out to 1,654 square feet, each one counts as half an ERU in the proposed ordinance. Condos averaged 1,070 square feet of impervious surface and are each assessed a third of an ERU.
Rural homes averaged 7,237 square feet of impervious surface and are each assessed two ERUs. Farm properties also count as two ERUs, despite averaging 10,003 square feet of impervious surface.
Nonresidential properties, such as commercial, industrial, mixed-use or faith-based institutions and apartment buildings, are allotted ERUs on a case-by-case basis. On average, the county's commercial properties would be assessed 13 ERUs under the ordinance, while industrial properties would average 18 ERUs, apartment buildings would average 40 and faith-based institutions would average 14.
In addition to Charles, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Prince George's and Montgomery counties and Baltimore city also must establish a stormwater management program.
The fees in the proposed ordinance are lower than in several counties that already have established their fee structure. Anne Arundel County will charge $85 for every urban house and $170 for rural homes. In Harford County, all residential units will pay $125. Howard County will charge all properties $15 per 500 square feet.
Though the legislation was passed last year, news of the pending fee, known derisively as the "rain tax," went viral last week.
Since 1997, Charles County has charged property owners an environmental service fee on their annual tax bills. This year, the fee is $14.
The county also charges a lot recordation fee for each building permit application. The fee this year is $121 per lot.
The new stormwater fee will show up on property tax bills and replace the environmental service fee.
The proposed ordinance includes provisions for an appeals process; a credit program for property owners who install their own stormwater management systems; and exemptions for government property, volunteer fire departments and homeowners who can demonstrate financial hardship.

Could someone shed more light on the code/modules that are responsible for the hot-pluggabilty of the hardware used in Linux machines?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems.. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You probably want to look into udev. There's a similar question on Ask Ubuntu.
The answer from Iain Dawson covers the userland part. In the kernel proper the handling of hotplug is integrated all over the place. Some infrastructure is present in the base kernel, but hotplugging has to be handled in each device driver, so there is no set of modules responsible for this.

As schools throughout the county close their doors for winter break and we get ready to ring in a new year, there is no better time to refect on 12 months of remarkable accomplishments in Montgomery County sports.
History was celebrated, past county stars shined in new venues, Olympic gold medals were won, MCPS teams collected 10 state championships, win streaks were started and some were broken.
Here are the year's top 10 storylines:
10. Quince Orchard's heartache ... take two
This time might have hurt more.
After surrendering a comfortable late-game lead to lose the 2011 state championship to Old Mill by one point in overtime, the Quince Orchard High School football team fought its way back to the state title game this fall against Prince George's County's Henry A. Wise.
This was going to be the Cougars' year with their first state title since 2007.
But Wise's 24-yard touchdown pass with 2:14 remaining in regulation erased that dream and clinched the Pumas' 12-7 win.
9. Northwest baseball, Sherwood softball win first titles
Northwest baseball was done, twice, in its first state final against Arundel in May.
An out away from defeat, the Jaguars scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to erase a 5-1 deficit.
Trailing 6-5 and on the brink of defeat again, Northwest rallied with two outs to even the score in the bottom of the 10th.
J.J. Jan's single broke the tie in the bottom of the 12th inning to give the Jaguars their first state crown.
Perhaps the Sherwood softball team got sick of hearing that rival Gaithersburg won the county's last state title in 1999.
Or maybe it was just time.
In its third state final appearance in five years, and fifth state tournament appearance in six years, Sherwood finally defeated seven-time state champion Chesapeake of Anne Arundel County, 1-0, for its first championship.
8. State, league titles abound
Montgomery County won 10 team championships in 2012 and a plethora more individual ones.
This fall, the Thomas S. Wootton boys soccer team won its first championship and the Patriots golf team dethroned three-time defending champion Urbana to become the county's first team champion since Winston Churchill in 2008.
Per usual, all-county Region II dominated the spring's state tennis tournament by sweeping all five finals.
Walter Johnson and Poolesville's boys and Walt Whitman's girls won the county's first state championships in swimming.
Caroline Beakes' first-place finish helped the Bethesda-Chevy Chase girls to the state cross country title.
Academy of the Holy Cross volleyball won its first Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title, marking the first time in seven years county rival Our Lady of Good Counsel didn't take the crown. The Tartans' field hockey team also was victorious.
Good Counsel's girls soccer team won its second WCAC title in three years and eighth overall.
U-17 National Team forward Midge Purce scored both the Falcons' goals in that victory and ended her career with a program-record 101 goals.
7. Magruder boys, Gaithersburg girls win state basketball titles, streaks end
After a season-opening loss to Washington Catholic Athletic Conference power DeMatha last season, the Col. Zadok Magruder boys basketball team reeled off 26 straight wins to claim its first state crown since 2001 in March.
But a 59-55 overtime loss to rival Springbrook on Wednesday snapped Magruder's win streak at 31. That doesn't mean the Colonels are any less the favorite to defend their title, but it won't be as easy as some might have thought.
Gaithersburg's girls basketball team clinched its second straight state championship last March with its 52nd straight win.
A win against Montgomery Blair to open this season put the Trojans within two wins of a state record.
But Gaithersburg lost its next two. Now, at 3-3, it seems the Trojans are human, after all.
6. Alex Holston
What else can be said about quite possibly the best girls volleyball player in state history?
The 6-foot-1 University of Florida signee was named Maryland's Gatorate Player of the Year for the second straight season.
She tallied a career-high 370 kills this fall in leading Sherwood to its third consecutive state championship.
Her 42 kills in a state semifinal win against Walter Johnson set a Maryland single-match record.
Oh, right, and she can also play defense, with 153 digs.
5. Stefon Diggs named Terps MVP
The former Good Counsel wide receiver made high school football look like child's play.
But the jump to NCAA Division I usually takes a little adjustment.
Apparently not for Diggs.
Named the team's most valuable player at the season-ending banquet, he posted the second-highest single season all-purpose yardage in University of Maryland football history to also earn Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Diggs came in second to Miami's Duke Johnson as ACC Freshman of the Year.
4. Wait, Bethesda-Chevy Chase lost?
There's a saying that "winning breeds winning." And it must be true.
B-CC girls soccer might have been the state's best team by far when its run of a state-record four straight state championships started in 2009.
In recent years, however, there have been many state title worthy opponents in the Barons' path and time and time again B-CC managed to make something happen when it most needed to.
Not this year.
For the first time in five years, B-CC lost a postseason game by relinquishing a 1-0 lead in the second half of the championship game to South River before eventually losing in penalty kicks.
3. 40th Anniversary of Title IX
Although most people associate the 1972 law with sports, it is actually a gender equity rule that pertains to all educational programs that receive federal funding.
But it has played a major role in the evolution and acceptance of women's sports.
In 2010-11, 41 percent of high school girls participated in athletics, according to the National Federation of State High School Association's yearly participation survey. It is up from seven percent in 1971-72.
Young girls now train with a purpose with opportunities to seek athletic scholarships and pursue professional careers.
2. Tiger's victorious return to Potomac
Love him. Hate him. Love to hate him.
Tiger Woods is golf's biggest name and he was back at Congressional Country Club this summer for the first time since 2009.
He didn't disappoint the fans.
After a two-year hiatus while Congressional prepared and hosted the 2011 U.S. Open, the AT&T National, hosted by Woods, returned to Potomac for its fourth installment.
Woods erased an early deficit to become the first player to win multiple tournament titles.
1. Ledecky wins Olympic gold
Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart sophomore Katie Ledecky is your typical teenager.
Except for the fact, of course, that she won an Olympic gold medal in London during the summer.
Ledecky, 15, the youngest member of nearly 600 athletes who represented Team USA, turned in the world's second-fastest 800-meter freestyle time (8 minutes, 14.63 seconds) to win Olympic gold in August.
She is the second-youngest swimmer to achieve that feat and dropped nearly five seconds off her July 1 Olympic Trials swim time.
Last month, she was presented with two awards at the ninth annual Golden Goggle Awards, a ceremony which annually honors swimmers' achievements during the course of the year.
Ledecky won Breakout Performer of the Year and Female Performance of the Year.
Four other county residents joined Ledecky on Team USA: David Banks (rowing), Caroline Queen (canoe/kayak), Scott Parsons (canoe/kayak) and Julie Zetlin (rhythmic gymnastics).

Montgomery County Police are looking for two men believed to be behind a robbery at the TD Bank on Shady Grove Road in Gaithersburg, police say. One of the men is suspected to be behind another recent bank robbery in Bethesda.
One man, wearing a white, long-sleeved shirt and a white baseball cap, walked into the bank and gave a teller a note demanding cash. The teller gave him money — police have not said how much — and he walked out, according to a police news release issued on Friday .
As he was leaving the bank, a second man walked in and repeated his actions. That man was wearing a red shirt with a black tie, and dark-rimmed glasses and a fedora, according to police.
Police believe that the second man is the same man behind an Aug. 16 bank robbery at PNC bank in Bethesda.
In that robbery, which took place at about 12:38 p.m. and prompted PNC to issue a $5,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest of the culprit, the robber was dressed clothing identical to what the robber wore in Friday's robbery.
Police are still trying to find the men behind the robbery, and are asking anyone with information to contact the Robbery Section at 240-773-5100.

Disappointing on many levels. Same disappointment as you probably felt with some FB losses this Fall? Good luck to UConn in BB this winter. They are fun to watch. Never been to a game at UConn. I'm sure it is quite an event. Go Huskies.

You may have been sad (or glad!) when the bustling Gold Coast Starbucks (a.k.a. pickup joint) shut its doors back in December, but two beautiful things resulted in the aftermath: A bigger and better location was opened down the block, and one of our favorite retailers, Madewell, took over the old space. Of course, this was not without a complete overhaul — you've probably noticed (and heard) all of the construction over the past few months. While it's still a bit too early to tell, behind those papered windows is a gorgeous 4,131-square-foot retail emporium that's yours for the taking starting Wednesday, April 3.
Trust: You'll want to be there when the store opens its doors at 10 a.m., because the first 150 eager shoppers will score a mystery gift card ranging from $10 to a whopping $500. And to give you a sneak peek as to what you can purchase with your "Madewell money," we've put together 10 awesome pieces you'll be able to find at the Chicago location (the 49th store in the U.S.) in a few short weeks. While Madewell is known for its jeans (since 1937!), click through to see some killer dresses, tops, shoes, and accessories to get you feelin' a little spring fever. Today is the first day of the season, after all.

Andrew Terranova from Let's Make Robots mods the Spazzi Robot project from MAKE 27 to use less expensive solenoids. He calls it the EconoSpazzi. He writes:
While I was filming Make: Live episode 12, I saw they had a Beatbots Spazzi. I love those things. Becky gave me a set of the Makerbot printer parts. I was really stoked to make one. However, when I looked up the other parts I would need, I saw that the solenoids they were specifying on the Makezine.com website were $18 each. That's too much for my wallet. I new a source for a similar solenoid for only $1.50 each. Thus, econoSpazzi was born. I bought my solenoids from allelectronics. They are rated for 24V DC, but I found that after I cut the included spring to size, they worked fine at 10-12V DC.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Major
Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
Affects Version/s: 2.1.1
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: ORM
Security Level: All
Environment:Debian Linux 6.0, MySQL 5.0.51a
Lazy loading does not work for the relationships of an instance of an entity, whose class inherits from another entity class.
Assume there are two entity classes, A and B, where A inherits from B.
Now let $a be an instance of A, e. g. the result of "SELECT a FROM \A WHERE a.id = 1".
Outputting $a will confirm it is a valid instance of a proxy object inheriting from A.
Assume that the database row corresponding to $a contains a non-null foreign key that actually links to an existing row in another table, corresponding to another entity instance of a different class.
Now, $a->someRelationship will always returns null in this scenario. I assume this is unintended behaviour, because clearly, the other entity should be lazily loaded on accessing it, and there is a value in the database.
The fetch annotation attribute on that relationship has not been explicitly set, so I assume it is set to the default value, which, according to the docs, should be "lazy".
The loading only fails when accessing the relationships of an entity instance, whose class inherits from another entity class. For entity instances, whose classes do not inherit from another entity class, lazy loading of their relationships works as expected.
I had a look at the proxy objects and verified that they are present and override the __get method with an implementation containing a call to the load() method. Still, the loading won't work for some reason.
This could be related to Bug
DDC-1389 (http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DDC-1389) which also happens exclusively in an inheritance scenario. Maybe the current implementation of inheritance is generally wrong or incomplete.
