\nI have some family in law enforcement and a lot of friends, yeah, there is curruption, but not everywhere. And yeah, you do have some errogant D heads out there!!! But, I think people just always need something/someone to blame. It's like the red light cameras. People complain when they run the red light and get a fine and blame it on the town/city/state. What about you running the red light? Anyway, just my two cents, not tryin to ruffle any feathers

We f'ed up by engaging in a non-conventional war with an enemy who wears no uniform. What we should have done was pit them even more against themselves, and then swooped in to eradicate the mess leftover.
That's hundreds of years of bad blood and sectarian and religious-based conflict going on over there. Some of them countries needed a dictator to keep the animals in line. They are horrible people who fantasize of a theocracy that would never survive, much less prosper.
Muslims suck. They make the commies and the Germans look sane.There's always got to be somebody creating strife in the world.
Yeah, yeah some cool guys can act like America is this big bad entity. And yeah, I have problems with our laws and elected officials, but in the scheme of it all America is a good place with leaders who aren't completely devoid of a sense of morality.
We do a lot of good in the world. We feed people, and we give financial aid to the freakin world. We are not the great Satan. And no matter what conspiracy theories people want to assign to each American military excursion, at the heart of it, our hearts were in the right place. We tried to help people
Yes, capitalism is flawed, but it's the best thing going. People are people, and they are going to exploit sh!t. But for all of these idealogues out there who think they can find a better way.....well it's kind of hard to manage and keep some semblance of order for a large society.
We didn't do sh!t to Muslims - no alterior motives - until they attacked us. The War on Terror isn't some conspiracy to take away American liberties. Yeah, Haliburton profited and stuff, but that's just the powerful extracting some gravy from the situation. Those types are going to do what they do.
Behind all of America's interventions in the world, the basic reason is humanitarian.
And I'd love to hear how anyone on here as been personally affected by all these rights we have lost since The War on Terror began. That's all BS.

\nim not scared of terrorists at all.the videos they show u on fox news,cnn,etc looks real crazy and scary,but tell me how they are going to get to America.u cant even take a toothbrush on a plane,but somehow mohammad and the towel fukhead bunch can make it through with shoebombs or boxcutters or whatever.its a huge waste of money if u ask me.too many agencies to deal with.
\nas far as humanitarian aid goes,well ummmm il wait for it.tell me what country we ever went to to actually help the people out.i can tell u it wasn't Iraq,wasnt Afghanistan,wasnt Lebanon,wasnt panama.
\ndo u know,this is a true story btw,we don't even try to hide out.i don't remember what the whole ordeal was about in Beirut,but we were trying to take out some terror kingpin,so we put out contracts,and we actually blew up a car bomb,killed over 70 people,mostly women and children,and it turned out the person we tried to blow up was actually clean,not a terrorist but a well respected dr or some shyt in the community.either way tho we missed the target,so the innocent terror guy lived by over 70 women and children perished.
\noperation "just cause" we can lol,the invasion of panama.we actually sent in delta force,this was actually on the ahc the other day,which is the new military channel,to rescue a covert spy we had in the country,we literally broke this mothafuka out of prison!!!!how fukin illegal and gangster is that?like what if al keda comes down to prison in florida or some shyt,blows the shyt up and releases a bunch of terrorists?the whole thing was about noreiga seizing bush sr money in Panamanian banks,drug money at that.dont believe me lol,another true story America doesn't even try to hide it.
\nim not really a conspiracy person,but im not retarded either and anyone with a brain,2 working eyes,and willing to read can find out all this shyt plus more.i don't even like talking about this crap because its so old,its like talking about the wild thornberrys or something.
\nwith the humanitarian aid bs,why wouldn't we go save Africa in Liberia and sierra leone?u think isis and al queda is bad,il take them anyday over some African rebels.u vote we chop ur hand off,we chop ur arm off just for the fun of it.now those people seriously needed humanitarian aid,but no well pass lets go to Iraq,they have oil!!

And all of our recent wars are the same. It's a "noble idea", jam packed with about 80% of other agendas, packaged as a war for freedom so that the tax payers don't flinch, and we mark our troops in to do good, meanwhile, behind closed doors, we roll out any political agendas that may favor our government and we get to work... Nothing wrong with it really. It's called international politics. The Haliburton stuff was over the top. Everything was over the top in those days. The world is a war for profit world. Has been for many years. If the Iraq situation was handled better, a lot of honest, american companies could have done very well over there, all while helping the Iraqi people...
I have said, from day one, we never should have taken Saddam out of power. He was a necessity. Or someone like him. Just like the Cartel leaders in Mexico. Without someone running checks and balances, things only get worse. Sometimes the best way to keep an entire country, split in 3 from killing each other, is making examples of them. You try and kill, you will be killed. It was working for him.

This is a money-making scam just like the red-light cameras. The worst I experienced was on Rte 70 (which has crosswalks on a 50 mph 4-lane highway). I didn't get tagged but I nearly rear-ended the guy in front of me. I'm all for safety, crosswalks, blinking lights, pedestrian signs, etc., but to set up this operation where people are slamming on their brakes for an undercover operation seems to fly in the face of "safety". I'm not saying the pedestrians don't have a right-of-way, because if you hit a pedestrian on a roadway, crosswalk or not, the driver is at fault. But the arrogance of some people to just step out into oncoming traffic without looking (and sometimes with headphones on and texting on the phone) never ceases to amaze me. The only upside is that I've read about is the occasional jay-walking tickets they have been giving to pedestrians in some north jersey towns.
Also, most cops are pretty cool, especially the staties. They have much more important things to worry about then the typical b.s. It's typically the small island town summer rent-a-cops that are more likely to be dbags.

Getting back to the original post- I totally agree and understand this guys frustrations.
\nIt happens in my area and surrounding towns here in Monmouth co too. All the beach towns. Plus I have seen the police set up too- same ped crossing speed trap.
\nHere is what I find frustrating about the whole deal- Deal- is that it seems to be only enforced and expected (by the public) at the beach. You try the ol 'walk across the street without looking' trick in any north jersey town- or NYC for that matter- and you will get run over by a car. Now those same ppl who would run us over up there- are the same ones walking out in the middle of the street in Belmar Nj with out looking- and shoot you a dirty look for not stopping- or worse start yelling at you!
\nThe topper is- this kind of behavior (the 'walking into the middle of the street without looking' ) does NOT happen in the winter and off season.. Go figure . It's not the locals who feel that they own the town. They are the ones patiently waiting on the curb.
\nAnyways- end rant.
\nPs I love those old summer pros.

The guy that taught me everything I know about h2h combat is a state trooper, unbelievable fighting skills(I'd put my money on him vs. pretty much anyone, excluding professional fighters), and a warrior in the truest sense of the word. Wouldn't bust a kid for some weed, and imo, he's pretty much what all cops should aspire to be...
\nI have another friend that's got a little over a year under his belt with a local PD, and the other day he admitted to basically not trusting cops, even the ones he works with...
\nI think as time progresses the good ones are getting outnumbered by the bad ones.

MIS: I won't get too deep into this again, cause I really don't have a dog in the fight, and it really is personally troubling that I feel the need to come to a cops defense because that is something I never thought I would do...
\nBut there is no more corruption in police forces then there are in every other aspect of human life and interaction. The government is corrupt, the school systems are corrupt, wall street is corrupt. There is the same amount of corruption everywhere.
\nAnd I would say you under estimate the amount of work cops have to do, and the amount of BS that they encounter every day. I mean, city cops spend most of their time doing the worst jobs you can imagine. Putting gloves on and trying to wake up the homeless guy laying in an alley. Waking the junkies up and trying to move them somewhere. Walking a beat, asking the 13 year old kids why they are on the corner and not in school. Repsonding to BS domestic violence disputes. Responding to the junkie who just stole a pair of headphones from CVS.
\nI mean, most of these cops are just people. And as far as the treatment of the citizens? I am not sure what incidents you speak of, cause generally, I don't EVERY hear about civil rights abuse on a REGULAR basis in this country. There are MILLIONS of cops. So, of course there are some sketchy ones. But there is an equal amount of sketchiness in every walk of life.
\nI know, you would say "They signed up for it. They get paid to do it"... But when you have a job like that, and about 80% of your time in the field is spent going into situations with a gun drawn, not knowing the level on insanity the people you are responding to. I mean, sure, you are going to be a little more "Matter of Fact" to people.
\nI had an incident with someone we do business with this past week. There was a dispute basically over one of our clients, and if he owns something or this store he went to does... Anyway, the sheriffs show up, one younger guy and one black lady, probably around 35 or so....
\nThey were OKAY, but as I would try and interject, the lady cop was like, "LET ME FINISH. I WILL TELL YOU WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN"... You knonw, pulling that "authority" card on me. It rubbed me the wrong way, but after she said what she had to, and I said what I had to... we both got a laugh and were actually joking with each other. SO, the point is, I dont think you understand how many LUNATICS every cop has to deal with on a regular basis. The reason the lady was forceful with her words, was not some weird power trip. It was because the last 10 people she talked to that day, were intoxicated, half naked, laying in their own filth and most of them uneducated and uncoherant. So, I excused her from her manors, and took it for what it was. She was dealing with a lunatic, that was wasting top cops time, but by law, they have to respond to this sh**.... All she wanted was to do her job and leave. And that was it.
\nIf you had to spend every day, dealing with the bottom of the barrel in our nation, which is primarily what cops do, you may get a little testy with people too....
\nAnd another thing, don't every talk sh** to a cop. Cause they got a badge and a gun. I have witnessed friends thinking its funny to get a rise out of a cop, cause they "didn't do anything". Then next thing I know, they are face down on the hood of a cop car getting searched. They should have shut the fu** up. Cause they all have authority whether you like it or not, and even a dirty look is enough cause for them to give you some sh** right back....
\nAgain, I know you aren't an anarchist, but cops are nothing more than people. Some people suck. Some cops suck. Its just a numbers game.
\nThere is no entry exam into the police form to make sure you are a crooked, corrupt maniac.... That is just silly....
\nAnd you also have to remember that these people have to work within the guidelines of the law. They have rules to follow. I mean, what are they supposed to do, when they know there is a drug dealer, with guns, hookers and crack in a house and they don't have a warrant. They find themselves not being able to do the right thing because of all the red tape involved. Then they have to make sure everything holds up in court, so they have to do sh** a certain way. With that being said, with that rationale, there aren't enough rouge cops. There arent enough cops breaking their own laws, just because if makes the community a better place.
\nI don't care what the NAACP says about the Baltimore PD. If I was them, I would be out every night, sweeping the city and cracking heads on EVERY corner. All night. Everynight. Without even checking IDs. When you see them boys in blue coming, you should be very afraid if you aint doing the right thing. Instead, all these crinimals hide behind the red tape and know exactly how to toe that line because the cops can't touch them. I.E. storing their viles of crack in the flowerpot 10 feet away and having a 9 year old hand it out. So the cops can't do anything to the dealers... I mean, cops should be able to take one look at that, and snatch up EVERYBODY on the corner. Take the 9 year old in too and put him in a foster home...
\nThere aren't enough cops willing to break the rules in my opinion. Their level of trasnparency is HUGE compared to most.

\nBut with thinking like that, I would say we should be far more worried about the Federal Government, the Military and Wall Street, than the cops. The cops are just the foot soldiers. They don't make decisions. They just follow orders.
\nI mean, I get it, what would you do? You just busted some murderer and are sweeping his house. There is a brick of cash that you bump into. This could feed your family for a few years, and this scum bag murderer wont miss it, he is going to jail. It would just go to lockup anyway....
\nDo you stuff it down your pants, or do you turn it in... Regular people have to make those choices every day. Sometimes they probably make the wrong call. But sometimes, a Tuesday at work means they will never see their family again. They report to that domestic violence call, and the crazy drunk Husband fires shots while they are still in the yard....
\nI don't trust ANYONE really. I just think cops are no worse than anyone else. We have to give SOMEONE the authority to govern our people, unless you want to do it. Good luck without a gun and a badge.

Oh, and the dudes who complain aboot cops on here, would probably be the first ones to call them when they hear a bump in the night.
\nI love it how some dudes on here are so terrorized by the police. Most dudes on here probably have never even had a speeding ticket.
\nI used to do things where I was at constant risk for police involvement. I was lucky and didn't have too much interaction with them. But in reality, most were pretty cool.
\nThe Outer Banks cops are the worst pieces of dung around. LBI cops are freakin pseudo-tough guys who wouldn't last a day in a real hood. Philly cops are cool as hell.
\nSee alot of y'all get intimidated ( and that's understandable) by when the cops bark loudly and try and do things they aren't really allowed to. You just can't let them play that again, but that comes with experience with them. Plus, people on here, myself included, haven't really done anything that's really serious. So, cops really aren't that big of an issue.....well, they shouldn't be.

Here's a little microcosm of cops (correctional officers) that I found while in the county jail:
\nOne-third of them are cool. They treat you like a human beings.
\nOne-third of them are robots. It's just a job to them. They have no personal involvement or prejudices in the whole thing. They just put on their uniform and show up for 8 hours. Yeah, a lot of them tend to be in bad moods but it's nothing personal.
\nThe other third are complete douche bags, who get their jollies hassling people and showing off their "power." Some of them live for that sh!t. And they are actually more pathetic then the inmates, as that's what motivates them to wake up in the morning. They are pieces of garbage. Yeah, F You Johnson in the ACJF. They are sad, sad, people.

Cep, we feed and hand out money to the entire world. We are always there when natural disasters hit. We try, even at the expense of our own citizens who have it just as bad as many third world residents.
\nWhen you really look at things, in the entire scope, we are really a nice country.
\nI don't know of any examples where we caused a civil war in another country in order to rape them afterwards.
\nGermany made no attempt to entice Russia into a civil war and they had a scenario to do so.....maybe - The whole communist vs capitalist thing. But they had no intention of doing so. That would have called for patience on the part of Germany and theys was into the Lightning War.
\nYes we did go to help other countries. We tried to keep Korea free of communist/Chinese take over. Same thing in Vietnam. Both situations we tried to help the southern portions of each country from being taken over by communists.
\nNo matter what reason were prominent in doing so, we did try and free the Iraqi people from a dictator. We helped Kuwait from being taken over by Iraq. I could keep going on. No matter what, at the very basis of it all, all our military excursions could be tied to doing "the right thing" without Spike Lee's approval. Yes, there were other alterior motives and people capitalized on the scenarios for their own profit, but.........oh well what can you do?
\nDude, we never just go in and take over for bad reasons. Shoot, we haven't even won a war in ages.
\nAnd in our latest military exploits we are way tooooo cautious aboot collateral damage. That's why we never win anymore.
\nHey when we are depended on to be the world's policeman and everybody counts on us for aid in times of crisis we get a certain privilege to do what we need to do.

\nThe goal is to educate so that people may return to their own homes and improve what is there. We need to focus on certain areas of the world so that a high standard of living is available to all, not just the chosen few. Deter the need for everyone to seek an American or European zip code.

Most humanitarian aid doesnt go to that country. Whaen they say we are giving this much to Egypt or this much to Iraq what they really do is give that money to American contractors in that country. It doesn't actually go to the country or the people, and there is always strings attached. If you get a chance check out the book Tales of an Economic Hit Man. Good story written by an insider that worked for the US government. We are not actually giving away anything. Its corporate welfare.

While driving along the north coast of Kauai, Glenn Gilbert and his wife, Cambra, pulled over and looked back toward Hanalei. "I was struck with the scene's dramatic lighting and snapped several shots with a Minolta X700," Glenn recalls. "We like the intimacy of Kauai, the feeling that you can get to know the island fairly well in a trip though I look forward to further discoveries in the future."

Unequal power splitters and combiners are generally limited by the line widths which can be practically synthesized in a given transmission medium. This practical limitation on the ratio of unequal power division can be extended by incorporating the same types of couplers into a composite design. The general composite design approach outlined in this paper rises three couplers (three terminal couplers) to generate a new three-terminal circuit. The design equations are derived for the composite approach and summarized in graphic form. The feasibility of the composite design approach is demonstrated by the construction of a 5.76-dB differential coupler rising intenally series-terminated Wilkinson couplers. The circuit was designed, analyzed via computer, and finally built and tested. The results from the composite design are compared to that of a single Wilkinson coupler design.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 275 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by RH2016 Recent stay at 4 Points I will say that this hotel is similar in accomodations and comfort to the many other Sheraton hotels I've stayed in. However, on my last 2 stays, I've had some experiences that are not "normal": - Upon returning to my room after day-long meetings with a customer, I noticed my room door was left ajar and open. Evidently, the cleaning person had left it unlocked. It had been open all day. Fortunately, nothing was missing from my room. - I typically keep cookies / crackers in my room (snacks). However, the cleaning person had decided to throw these away. June 24, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5 by Surprised530 Hotel has wonderful staff The person who checked us in was excellent (I didn't get her name). We came early and yet she was able to accommodate us. The server from the restaurant was great, too! Just 1 suggestion though, please put in a TV monitor at the bar. We tried to get a drink on Sunday night but was turned off of how sad and quiet the bar/restaurant looks like. Would love to see an improvement when we come back! May 31, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jay983 Unpleasant I am a regular here. I come here every single month and they still don't recognize me or my Platinum status. Terrible sleep. Had to complain 2 times to the management this month and last for a variety of issues. Manager doesn't provide points as a concession. So ticked off I am writing on this post to send a clear message to all unsuspecting travellers: not a cozy/comfortable experience. May 21, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gaboorgen Worsening experience I travel frequently and stay at numerous starwood facilities. I've stayed at this hotel several times with this being a corporate preferred hotel. It has nice grounds and paths poolside and between buildings. The restaurant serves good food and is a decent place to have drinks and relax with friend. There are several misses though and if I had a choice I would stay someplace else. 1. Hotel Service isn't ready for prime time. I've always used Green Choice for my rooms. Each time I have to beg or fight with staff because they never provide the coupons. Normally someone slides it under the door each morning. This last trip was no exception. No matter how many times I called the front desk say they will take care of it you still don't receive them. My work colleagues staying at the hotel experience the same and one person has told me he's given up because he never gets them. Too bad, it's a nice hotel feature but alas this hotel makes it a frustrating experience. I've never had issues with other SPG hotels. 2. Soap dispenser when I checked in was empty. Told the front desk the next day. and they would tell the cleaning staff to take care of it. Got in the afternoon, dispenser was still empty. Walked out for dinner and told the lady at the front desk again and they said the same thing. Came back to my room after dinner and found a bar of soap on the floor. How many times do I have to explain it's the soap dispenser folks? 3. I tried to reach the manager to air my complaints but manager wasn't in nor did I receive any call back. Really lack of attention given to guests and surprisingly even with SPG members. In short, staff needs more training and should be more attentive to customers needs, especially returning corporate guests. I'm hoping the next trip out there will be better, not worse. May 7, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by LeviJ Showing its age This hotel has good potential in that the grounds are lovely, it's centrally located, has a decent gym and outdoor pool. However, it is in need of a major renovation. The rooms are very dated, and very dark. Not light, bright, and modern at all. The lighting in the room is horrendous as well with the lamps barely providing enough light to keep you awake. Also, the exteriors of the buildings look very 1980s. The hotel has good bones but is in need of a major overhaul to stay competitive. May 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by devc staff &Service This Hotel is by far one of the best stays I have had. The staff was excellent the rooms were big the bed is the best .. Just wonderful secrenery. I absolutely will stay here again. March 1, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bustraveler25 Has potential ...Needs Improvement This hotel has potential ...well situated...lovely grounds...has been renovated. Food in the resturant is good ...if you can "get them to serve you." Staff unattentive to customers. And buyer beware... no elevator or staff to help you get to second floor rooms. June 22, 2015

Which tripod/head combination to chose
LAST EDITED ON Feb-13-01 AT 03:41 PM (GMT)
I have been offered two sets of used tripod/head combinations and I am about to choose one - within the next two days. But I find it very difficult to make the decision since I haven´s tried the two sets. I hope some of you Nikonians can help my out.
No. 1 offer: Velbon D-600 tripod with Manfrotto 029 head (Bogen 3047). Price appr. §100.
No. 2 offer: Manfrotto 055CB (Bogen 3021N) with heavy duty ball head 168 (Bogen 3055). Price appr. §100.
My main corncern is sturdiness of the set to avoid vibrations and I am mainly going to use the set photographing wildlife with my F100 and the Nikkor 75-300/4,5-5,6.
I´ll appreciate all the help I can get.
Kind regards
Kim Jeppesen
#1. "RE: Which tripod/head combination to chose" | In response to Reply # 0BJNicholls Charter MemberTue 13-Feb-01 12:42 PM
I used to own a 3021 and can attest that it's a very solid tripod. The "N" version is improved over the unit I owned with quick lever leg locks. It also features a new horizontal mount for the center column that is similar to my new carbon fiber Manfrotto tripod. In addition, it now has a fourth leg angle setting that lets you use the tripod at ground level. It's an excellent choice (one of the best designed tripods ever).
The Velbon D-600 is marketed as a video tripod. It has a crank center post (without the flexibility of the 3021N). It has leg braces which ad rigidity to the tripod, but which are nowhere near as versatile as the adjustable angle legs of the 3021. It will be slower to set up, as well.
I'm not a fan of three-way heads myself, so the 3047 doesn't appeal. I don't like the weight, bulk and handles that snag on straps. The 3055 wouldn't be a keeper for me either. It's heavy for a ball head and has levers that are more suited to studio work than field work. However, you can always upgrade or change heads later. Both are sturdy and reliable.

Option 2 seems better for all of the reasons stated by BJ.
I do own the 055CB and it is a beauty.
Have a great time

Thank you my fellow Nikonians
I have decided to go for option two and thus follow your advices.
I bought the Manfrotto 3 way Pro head 229 (Bogen 3039) as well. The 229 can carry 12 kg and uses the same hex plates as 168(3055).
Total cost of the used set: 55(3021N), 168(3055), 229(3039), hex plates and strap is less than §180. I belive it´s a good price.
Can´t wait for delivery
Thanks again

Bad service, bad attitude, liars and thieves! Stay away from this place, they will rip you off. Took $ from the ATM (which only gives 20's) to pay for my friend to get in, the door person insisted it was a 10 even after I pointed out that I just took the $ from the ATM which only gives 20's and so I spoke with the manger who told me they only check the cameras if I file a police report. After contacting Berkeley PD, called them to try and work it out without wasting public $ and time and the person who answered the phone mocked me and dared me to bring the police . Police report filed, never going back here again, avoid them like the plague!

YOUNGSTOWN — Mayor Charles Sammarone has fired City Prosecutor Jay Macejko.
No replacement has been named yet.
"The actions displayed in the prosecutor's office do not meet my standards," Sammarone said. "Starting Monday, there will be a new city prosecutor."
The mayor, however, said the replacement for Macejko has not been selected.
"He will not be employed any more by the city," Sammarone said of Macejko.
"The managing skills are not where I want them (in the prosecutor's office)."
The mayor announced the action this morning following an investigation by a three-member team consisting of City Law Director Anthony Farris, Human Relations Commission Director Jonathan Huff and Police Lt. Brian Butler.
The investigation stemmed from a federal religious discrimination lawsuit filed against the city by Bassil Ally, a Muslim assistant city prosecutor of Middle Eastern descent.
The city settled the case last fall without a trial, paying Ally a $110,000 lump sum and giving him a promotion and a $4,000 annual pay raise.
Among the many pieces of evidence in the case was an April 7, 2009, text message on the cell phone of Bret Hartup, an assistant city prosecutor, which made derogatory references to President Barack Obama.
Macejko insisted he didn't send that text and didn't see it until Feb. 13 of this year, and he suggested it might be spam.
The Obama message was a major issue in the March 6 Democratic primary, in which Macejko challenged County Prosecutor Paul J. Gains. Macejko lost by 561 votes.
Sammarone declined to answer questions as to whether there was any dishonesty with regard to any comments made about the Ally case.
Ferris said that Macejko did not resign, and the mayor noted that he will soon send Macejko a letter ending his employment relationship with the city.
Sammarone also said he has emphasized to all city employees the need for accountability and good management in all departments.
we all know about the text!!! What did the mayor find?!?!?!
I didn't think Sammarone would have the cojones.
This is sad. I feel that they've gone way overboard in this firing.
Political moves in Youngstown are not without their consequences. Bassil Ally and his supporters have for now been satisfied.
Ask the mayor why he disappears for several hours during the work day to workout at the gym when he is being paid $100K+.
BETTER NOT SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT O'BAMA or MUSLIMS!
There is nothing wrong with the Mayor going to work out. It is healthy and keeps his mind sound. I work out myself on my lunch break. Matter of fact, a good racquetball, handball and squash game may be inorder. Give him a chance and let the man do the job he was hired to do.
esphloop You are exactly right!! Makes one wonder if Betras had his hand in any of this.
The biggest problem I had with Jay was that I believed he was a Cafaro puppet, and they are the corruptors of the valley.
rumppy I have no problem with his "lunch break" but not when it is several hours. He is the one that states the need for accountability and good management.
Wasn't that Cafaro that wanted the Oakhill documents sealed?
I suppose if Jay was a republican he would have been hung by the neck on the square. Too bad you cant even joke anymore-stupid to put anything in writing[text message]. Hope the muslim guy does good work-he's got plenty of cash coming in now.Also,I'm GLAD the mayor is working out on anybody's time.He will use less sick time in the long run. Plus, his mind doesn't stop working while he is in a gym. He can make decisions while working out. BUT-just don't over do it-set a good work-example for others to follow-or don't call others on the carpet.
Is there any credence to the rumor that Bassil will have Jay's job on Monday?
Sammoron was a lazy useless teacher when he taught at Chaney.
Sad. If I was a county worker in the jail and was Christian I would request every Sunday off to go to church. If you bend over for the Minority, you have to bend over for the majority or it is DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!!
And if, just IF, he didn't send the text as he claims? Why would he admit to it?
I'd like to know who leaked the text message. Someone with an ax to grind, undoubtedly.
Couldn't agree more!!
Mahcntyvoter I like your post , but most christians won't fight for that like the muslim did . That is the shame of it
I think they all live in Boardman
Why are individuals so quick to blame the Cafaros? Is it that people are just jealous of their wealth?
I am happy with his decision ! I think with everything that has transpired, it was the right thing to do !
"Why are individuals so quick to blame the Cafaros?"
Probably because the Cafaros have a very difficult time understanding the "conflict of interest" concept.
The fact of the matter is that Jay did something very wrong and deserves the punishment he received. Only an idiot or a fool would put something derogatory in a text message, tweet, or email. His job was to prosecute criminals and from what I've seen he didn't do a very good job. In my opinion Mayor Sammarone did what had to be done and I have no problem with it.
johnyoung, I agree with your post. If he would have just acknowledged from the beginning and apologized for what he did, he may have been able to take a lesser punishment. I'm always amazed when people hang on so long professing their innocence. Then it usually all comes out in the end and we find out they are guilty as he**. We all make mistakes. Man up and admit when you've done wrong, then apologize and try to correct the situation and learn from it.
Anyone actually think a lawyer is going to "acknowledge" any wrong doing needs to listen to Aerosmith...."Dream on.....
It's the coverup that gets you, not the crime.
"What's done in the dark will come to light!" Is this the prosecuter that also has a suit against him for firing an employee that developed breast cancer and she lost her health benefits??? Some call it "karma". Others know it as "you reap what you sow." Do unto others as you would have others do unto you! Nevertheless, Jay still needs our prayers!
Oh come on people... Jay is a nothing but a liar... want to see some of the files. now unsealed... read the post on My site and come to your own conclusion.
I voted for Mr. Gains. I met him many years ago, long before he had any position of power and (as a) newcomer to the area. I was struck by his desire for justice. He was part of a very ugly murder case (court appointed). His dedication and honesty amazed me. He was able to see both sides of the case so well - I learned very quickly what an intelligent and fair person he is. This guy has his own convictions and stands by them. When I voted, I did so remembering how Mr. Gains worked so hard on the case to which he was assigned - his own opinions aside. I have never met Jay Macejko. He may be a nice person. But he lacks judgment and maturity. He needs to grow up and understand that texting is juvenile and open to scrutiny. As a lawyer AND a prosecutor, he missed the first lesson. Something about Macejko's smirk never worked for me. I applaud the Mayor for his decision. And I'm thankful the voters elected the right man - Mr. Gains.
"Judge William H. Wolff Jr., the visiting judge who presided over the now-dismissed Oakhill Renaissance Place criminal-conspiracy case, has scheduled a hearing on the defendants' motions to seal the case records from public view."
Y-town, it's obvious that they aren't public records... Not like Macejko's / Ally records. Also Cafaro's attorneys can make accusations all day long, but I don't see where there is any proof of wrongdoing on Gains part.
If you have proof I suggest you contact the attorney general.
Y-town, speculate all you want, I only post the truth with docs to back it up.
This is Atty. Cochran. I assume what ytownisajoke is talking about is a case in which the charge against my client was dismissed because the trooper did not show up on the day of the trial. He showed up late after the case was dismissed. The charge was refilled and is still pending now.
The facts are out, there is not doubt, cleaning house threw out those who thought they had clout.
Whatever you call this 'political housecleaning' , the two individuals removed from the Prosecutor's Office, earned their removal by NOT being fair. I don't think they were serving for fairness and justice.
Maybe ALL past cases they've handled, for people that were found guilty or for cases still pending, should be looked at again, with a magnifying glass.
Explain how a 14 year employee and the first assistant to Macejko is taking the prosecutors office in a new direction?

We needed budget accommodations in ABQ and ended up at this motel through hotwire.
The pros:
- Rooms are huge (really a 2-room suite) and have great amenities: fridge, microwave, ironing board, wifi. Very clean and appear to be newly renovated.
The cons:
- A/C units were LOUD. Far louder than what one might expect. Bring earplugs.
- The pool was closed--awaiting inspection. The main reason we booked here was for the pool, so this was disappointing.
- Breakfast was awful. I've had the free continental breakfast at many budget places, but this was the worst I've encountered. (All pre-packaged, shelf-stable fare.) Just a couple of tables in the eating area.
- Our key cards never worked properly. We kept having to get them reprogrammed at the front desk.
Fortunately, there's a terrific bakery/cafe across the street. But if you factor in having to buy breakfast, then this place isn't the best value any more.

Allmendinger 'fine' after post-Kentucky X-rays
PHOTOS: Allmendinger's car among many mangled Saturday night AJ Allmendinger's hand is "fine" after undergoing an X-ray, a JTG Daugherty Racing spokesperson confirmed on Monday. Allmendinger was involved in two incidents Saturday night in the Quaker State 400 Presented by Advance Auto Parts, the second a hard hit with the wall that left the Sprint Cup Series driver frustrated and with an injured hand. In post-treatment statements outside the infield care center at Kentucky Speedway, Allmendinger displayed a wrapped hand and wrist and said an X-ray would be forthcoming. NASCAR has cleared Allmendinger to return to competition this weekend. The team was initially scheduled to take part in an organizational test on Tuesday and Wednesday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. However, the team will not be at the test and will instead "regroup" and focus on building race cars for upcoming events, according to a team spokesperson. Allmendinger finished 36th in Saturday night's race at Kentucky and is 20th in the Sprint Cup Series driver standings through 18 races.
Edwards edges Allmendinger for pole at Sonoma
RELATED: Full race lineup " See all 40 cars SONOMA, Calif. -- Carl Edwards ran a lightning-fast lap in the first round of Saturday's knockout qualifying at Sonoma Raceway -- and it worried him. "After that first lap -- I have to be honest -- I sat here and thought, 'Man, I'm really going to screw this up on the second one,' 'cause the first one was really good, but it held on for the pole, and so I'm really excited." Edwards toured the 1.99-mile road course in 1 minute, 14.392 seconds (96.301 mph) in the first round and was the only driver to crack 96 mph either in Friday's practice or Saturday's time trials. But he need not have worried about the second round. In Sunday's Toyota - Save Mart 350 (3 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), Edwards' No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota will lead the field to the green flag. On the lap that counted, as tires fell off and the track got marginally warmer, Edwards secured his third Coors Light Pole Award of the season, his first at Sonoma and the 19th of his career with a run at 95.777 mph (1:14.799). AJ Allmendinger was a close second at 95.676 mph (1:14.878). The road course ace put his No. 47 JTG/Daugherty Chevrolet on the front row at Sonoma for the third straight year, having started second in 2014 and from the pole last season. "It was a struggle yesterday," Allmendinger said of Friday's practice. "We just never could really find the direction of the car. All my guys did a great job to get to work, to get this car closer to the front. "When I saw Carl's first lap, I said, 'I don't care what kind of lap I run -- if he runs that again I'm not going to get close.' Then, after I saw it was less than a tenth (of a second), you sort of nit-pick, but it's definitely a big gain from where we were yesterday." Martin Truex Jr . (95.672 mph) qualified third, followed by Kurt Busch (95.654 mph) and Kyle Larson (95.362 mph). Seventh-place qualifier Joey Logano (95.276 mph) had the fastest Ford. "That's better than where we were last year," said Logano, the Sprint Cup Series' most recent winner (Michigan). "We were (19th) last year, so we've improved. I thought I had a shot after the first round but lost some grip the second round and tried harder at the same time, and all of that just didn't work out. "It's unfortunate that we lost a little bit from the first round to the second round (three positions), but we're still in good shape. I still think we have a top-five car, and we proved that today in qualifying." None of the four Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets advanced to the second round. Dale Earnhardt Jr ., who led Friday's second practice, will start 13th, with Jimmie Johnson 15th, Chase Elliott 16th and Kasey Kahne 19th. Danica Patrick qualified 11th, her best starting spot since last year's Chase race at Texas. Cody Ware failed to make the 40-car field.
16 teams set to participate in Watkins Glen test
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams will receive extra track time this week at newly repaved Watkins Glen International, site of the final road-course race on this year's schedule. A total of 16 teams are scheduled to converge on the New York circuit for a two-day organizational test Tuesday and Wednesday in advance of the Aug. 7 Cheez-It 355 at The Glen (2:30 p.m. ET, USA, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). The $12 million offseason repaving project marks the first full resurfacing at the facility since 1989. The new asphalt includes the 2.45-mile layout used in NASCAR competition and the longer 3.4-mile configuration used by other series. Five Sprint Cup teams received their first taste of the new pavement in Goodyear tire testing May 10-11. Drivers helping the tire manufacturer select the proper rubber compound for the race were Trevor Bayne , Carl Edwards , Kevin Harvick , Kasey Kahne and Joey Logano . Drivers (in alphabetical order) scheduled to participate this week: -- AJ Allmendinger (JTG Daugherty Racing) -- Ryan Blaney (Wood Brothers Racing) -- Clint Bowyer (HScott Motorsports) -- Chris Buescher (Front Row Motorsports) -- Kurt Busch (Stewart-Haas Racing) -- Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing) -- Matt DiBenedetto (BK Racing) -- Austin Dillon (Richard Childress Racing) -- Chase Elliott (Hendrick Motorsports) -- Brad Keselowski (Team Penske) -- Michael McDowell (Circle Sport-Leavine Family Racing) -- Jamie McMurray (Chip Ganassi Racing) -- Casey Mears (Germain Racing) -- Brian Scott (Richard Petty Motorsports) -- Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush Fenway Racing) -- Martin Truex Jr. (Furniture Row Racing) The on-track schedule will feature two sessions each day -- 9 a.m.-noon ET and 1-5 p.m. ET. The garage will open both days at 7 a.m. ET. Other new details greeting drivers this week will be new concrete on pit road and on the rumble strips bordering the turns. The track also completed grading and landscaping work in the runoff areas. NASCAR XFINITY Series teams will get extra practice time on the new surface during an expanded race weekend. The schedule was extended from three days to four this year with the addition of two XFINITY practice sessions on Thursday, Aug. 4. The organizational test is the third of five scheduled this season for the Sprint Cup Series. It follows two-day tests at Kentucky Speedway (June 13-14) and Indianapolis Motor Speedway (July 12-13). The two-day Watkins Glen stop precedes organizational tests at Chicagoland Speedway (Aug. 23-24) and Homestead-Miami Speedway (Oct. 18-19), sites for the opening race and the finale for this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs. </p>
AJ Allmendinger powers to pole at Watkins Glen
RELATED: See Sunday's full lineup WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- AJ Allmendinger would like nothing better than a good, strong case of déjà vu. "Hopefully, we're reliving last year," Allmendinger said after putting his No. 47 JTG Daugherty Chevrolet on the pole for Sunday's Cheez-It 355 at The Glen (2 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM). Last year the road-course ace barged into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup by winning at Watkins Glen from the sixth starting position. On Saturday at the 2.45-mile road course, Allmendinger posted the only sub-69-second lap (1:08.993) to win the pole at 127.839 mph, edging Martin Truex Jr . (127.569 mph) for the top starting spot in the 22nd NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season. Tony Stewart (127.481 mph) qualified third, followed by Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kevin Harvick (127.416 mph) and four-time Watkins Glen winner Jeff Gordon (127.181 mph), who is making his final start at the New York road course as a full-time Sprint Cup driver. The Coors Light Pole Award was the fourth of Allmendinger's career, his first at Watkins Glen and his second of the season -- and it marked a dramatic turnaround from a disappointing final practice on Friday afternoon, when Allmendinger was 28th on the speed chart. "I didn't do a good job (on Friday)," Allmendinger said. "They saved me. They gave me a good race car… I don't know if I'll sleep any better tonight, but I'll be ready for tomorrow." As he tries for a repeat performance, Allmendinger will have a familiar chassis under him. "It's the same car we ran last year, the same car we ran at Sonoma," said Allmendinger , who also won the pole for the West Coast road course race in June. "But they put a lot more work into it over the winter to make sure it was lighter, we got the right tools that we needed into the car to make it faster." Clearly, there's pressure on Allmendinger to qualify for the Chase, but most of it is self-generated. "There isn't any more pressure than I put on myself," he said. "These guys (his team) deserve it. I want to lift them on my shoulders and carry them to Victory Lane. Last year was special and it just makes you want to do it more and more. "But the outside, there ain't nothing there (in terms of pressure). It's all inside here that I put the pressure on myself, and I'm going to go try to make it happen. These guys deserve it." Kyle Larson , Dale Earnhardt Jr ., Kyle Busch , Jimmie Johnson and Austin Dillon will start from positions six through 10 on the grid.
The Rundown: Indianapolis driver grades
RELATED: Complete race results " Updated Chase Grid Breaking down the full field for the Crown Royal Presents The Combat Wounded Coalition 400 At The Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway: 1. Kyle Busch, No. 18 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Total domination. Busch won Saturday's and Sunday's races from the pole and led a record 149 laps Sunday. His average running position Sunday was 1.2, and his lowest position was third. Seriously? Busch's hammerlock on the field was on par with what Martin Truex Jr. did in the Coca-Cola 600 . Thus the same mark. Grade: AAA+ 2. Matt Kenseth , No. 20 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Kenseth is still winless at the Brickyard but has now finished second three times. More numbers: In Kenseth's first four starts at Indianapolis for JGR, his finishes are 5th, 4th, 7th and 2nd. Grade: A 3. Jimmie Johnson , No. 48 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports. Johnson had to do a pass-through on Lap 86 for a pit-road speeding penalty, dropping him to 23rd. Attrition and persistence led to Johnson's first top 10 since he finished third at Charlotte two months ago. Nice finish, but this team still needs to clean up its mistakes. Grade: A- 4. Denny Hamlin , No. 11 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Ditto the No. 11 team. Hamlin was assessed his seventh pit-road speeding penalty of the season one lap after Jimmie Johnson (same round of green-flag stops). Hamlin was running third at the time and fell back to 18th. Nice recovery, but … Grade: A- 5. Kyle Larson , No. 42 Chevrolet, Chip Ganassi Racing. Larson was the second-biggest winner of the afternoon, moving up four spots in the standings to 15th. Grade: A 6. Kevin Harvick , No. 4 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. Harvick upped his points lead to 24. Two races ago it was down to four. If you don't think that's important, remember this: If qualifying is rained out, the field is set by the standings -- as is the order of selecting a pit stall. So, yes, the standings still matter. Grade: A 7. Joey Logano , No. 22 Ford, Team Penske. Logano restarted second on the final restart but couldn't hold the position or make a run at Kyle Busch. Logano, by the way, finished second to Busch in last year's Brickyard. Grade: A 8. Martin Truex Jr. , No. 78 Toyota, Furniture Row Racing. Truex was strong all afternoon – his 5.6 average running position was second to Kyle Busch's – but he was no match for the winner. Grade: A 9. Austin Dillon , No. 3 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing. Sunday's top 10 was Dillon's ninth of the season (20 starts), equaling his total for the first 85 starts of his Sprint Cup career. Grade: A 10. Paul Menard , No. 27 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing. Menard benefited from accidents in front of him that he was able to avoid to score his second top 10 of the season. Grade: A- 11. Tony Stewart , No. 14 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. Stewart started third and was running with the leaders when he was caught speeding on pit road just before the third caution and had to restart at the tail end of the field, one lap down. He was still back in the pack (20th) with 25 laps to go in regulation. But then came all the cautions. "Smoke" finally got his lap back with a free pass on the fifth caution, survived contact with Jamie McMurray on Lap 166 and salvaged a decent finish on his last go-round at Indy. Grade: B 12. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. , No. 17 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing. Stenhouse survived the big Carl Edwards - Ryan Newman wreck that brought out the red flag to get a finish that belied his day. He turned 14 laps in the top 15 and had an average running positon of 20.1. Grade: B- 13. Jeff Gordon , No. 88 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports. Despite problems with restarts, Gordon was able to post his best finish of the season and overcome the incredible pressure of replacing Alex Bowman in the No. 88. ... Yes, I'm kidding. Except for the restarts part. Vive Monsieur Gordon! Grade: A 14. Chris Buescher , No. 34 Ford, Front Row Motorsports. Buescher recorded the best finish of his Sprint Cup career on a day in which he turned all of two laps in the top 15 and had a 23.7 average running position. Grade: B 15. Chase Elliott , No. 24 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports. Elliott registered his best finish since a second-place finish at Michigan more than a month ago. Grade: B 16. Kurt Busch, No. 41 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. For only the second time this season, Busch failed to finish in the top 10 in back-to-back races. Grade: B- 17. Brad Keselowski , No. 2 Ford, Team Penske. Keselowski was the rage early on with his team's bold pit strategy, but the second half of the race bore zero resemblance to the first half. Getting caught up in the Carl Edwards - Ryan Newman wreck didn't help, either. Grade: B 18. Kasey Kahne , No. 5 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports. Despite a fourth-straight finish outside the top 10, Kahne moved up two spots in the standings to 16th, 10 points behind Kyle Larson . He jumped one driver who missed the race ( Dale Earnhardt Jr. ) and one who didn't use the best judgment and crashed with 10 laps to go ( Trevor Bayne ). Grade: C 19. Jamie McMurray , No. 1 Chevrolet, Chip Ganassi Racing. McMurray's nice run came to a screeching halt on the restart on Lap 165 when he moved down in front of Tony Stewart but hadn't cleared the No. 14. Stewart wasn't about to lift, and the No. 1 went for a slide onto the access road before returning to the track and smacking Ryan Newman . Worse, the caution gave the free pass to Chase-cutoff competitor Kasey Kahne . Grade: B- 20. Landon Cassill , No. 38 Ford, Front Row Motorsports. Cassill avoided calamity to get his fourth-best finish of the season. Grade: B 21. Clint Bowyer, No. 15 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports. Bowyer contributed to the caution-fest at the end of the race when he got into the back of Trevor Bayne , who inexplicably went for the block with so much on the line (Chase standings) and running so far back in the field. Grade: C 22. Danica Patrick , No. 10 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing. Wrong place, wrong time. Again. Patrick had nothing to do with the Carl Edwards - Ryan Newman wreck but still ended up a part of it. On the other hand, she finished right where she spent most of the race. Grade: C 23. Michael McDowell , No. 95 Chevrolet, Circle Sport-Leavine Family. McDowell posted his best finish at the Brickyard in seven starts. Grade: B- 24. Casey Mears , No. 13 Chevrolet, Germain Racing. Mears finished in the top 25 for the 10th time this season. Grade: C 25. Aric Almirola , No. 43 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports. Almirola, who is still looking for his first top 10 of the year, is on pace to have his worst season with RPM, for which he has been driving full time since 2010. Grade: C 26. Regan Smith , No. 7 Chevrolet, Tommy Baldwin Racing. Smith posted his best finish since a 22nd at Pocono in early June. Grade: C 27. Brian Scott , No. 44 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports. Despite being collected in the last wreck of the day, Scott picked up his best finish in his past eight starts. Grade: C 28. Michael Annett , No. 46 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports . After posting four top-30 finishes in his first 14 starts, Annett has four in his past six. Grade: C 29. Cole Whitt , No. 98 Chevrolet, Premium Motorsports. Since a 37.3 average finish in his first three starts of the season, Whitt has an average finish of 27.5 over his next 14 races. Grade: C 30. Trevor Bayne , No. 6 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing. Bayne's move to block Clint Bowyer on the backstretch on Lap 158 was as costly as it was ill-advised. Bayne spun all the way to his worst finish of the season and to 18th in the standings, 14 points behind 15th-place Kyle Larson . Grade: D 31. Ryan Newman , No. 31 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing. Newman's day began to unravel on the restart on Lap 154. He restarted sixth, outside of Carl Edwards . On the first turn, Edwards drifted up into Newman and the No. 31 suffered major damage. With Newman sitting near the Chase cut-off line, it was important for him to coax the car home. He returned to the track but couldn't make it to the finish when Jamie McMurray ran up the track into him on the Lap 165 restart after contact with Tony Stewart . Bottom line: Valiant effort but a DNF and 10-point day. Grade: C 32. Ryan Ellis , No. 93 Toyota, BK Racing. Ellis picked up a career-best finish in his fourth Sprint Cup Series start. Grade: C 33. Reed Sorenson , No. 55 Chevrolet, Premium Motorsports. Sorenson ran to form, and his 33.8 average finish is third-worst in the Sprint Cup Series among drivers with at least 10 starts. Grade: D 34. Patrick Carpentier, No. 32 Ford, GO FAS Racing . After not starting a Sprint Cup Series race since 2011, Carpentier made his second start of 2016. He finished 37th last month at Sonoma. Grade: D 35. Carl Edwards , No. 19 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing. Edwards was part of the strong JGR contingent all afternoon – 6.6 averaging running position – until his mishap on Lap 154. Whether it was a tight car or dirty tires, the outcome was costly as he dropped two spots in the standings. Grade: F 36. Ryan Blaney , No. 21 Ford, Wood Brothers Racing. Blaney was collected and knocked out of the race in the Carl Edwards -initiated wreckage that resulted in a red flag. Blaney dropped two spots in the standings to 19th, and is now 22 points behind 15th-place Kyle Larson . Blaney began the day nine points ahead of Larson. Grade: C 37. David Ragan , No. 23 Toyota, BK Racing. Ragan brought out the third caution on Lap 120 when his left-rear tire went down and he slammed the wall. It was his third DNF and second-worst finish of the season. Grade: F 38. AJ Allmendinger , No. 47 Chevrolet, JTG Daugherty Racing. Allmendinger was running 11th when his car lost water pressure. Moments later it overheated with less than 100 laps to go. It was Allmendinger's second DNF in the past three races. Grade: F 39. Greg Biffle, No. 16 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing. Biffle's day ended after 53 laps when his right-front tire went down and he slammed into the outside wall. His streak of top 10s – three – ended as well. Grade: F 40. Matt DiBenedetto, No. 83 Toyota, BK Racing. His engine didn't even make through five laps, leaving DiBenedetto with his seventh DNF of the season. "How is that even possible?" DiBenedetto tweeted. "Who has the voodoo doll of me that severely dislikes me?" Grade: F

Allmendinger's Darlington look to honor 1975 Rookie of the Year
RELATED: Buy Darlington tickets " '16 throwback schemes " SHOP: 'Dinger gear AJ Allmendinger 's Darlington throwback paint scheme will honor Kansas native Bruce Hill's 1970s-era No. 47 with a Kroger/Kingsford red, white and blue theme, JTG Daugherty Racing announced today. Allmendinger will drive the car in the Bojangles' Southern 500 on Sept. 4 (6 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Allmendinger and Hill, the 1975 Cup series Rookie of the Year, will meet for the first time on Friday at Kansas Speedway . "It is an honor, quite honestly," Hill said in a release. "Being remembered for something is always an honor, especially as big as the sport has gotten." Hill made starts in NASCAR's premier series in eight seasons with his best coming in his rookie year, 1975. He earned three top fives and 11 top 10s on his way to finishing 16th in driver points. He continued racing in the then-Winston Cup series through 1981. Hill now lives in his hometown of Topeka, Kansas, where he raises show horses on a ranch. "I'm really looking forward to meeting Bruce on Friday," Allmendinger said in the release. "I think what Darlington Raceway does to recognize former NASCAR drivers and the heritage of the sport is unprecedented. It's a great way to celebrate our sport and the people who made it what it is today. It's pretty neat to see all the sponsors and teams really get into it."
Season preview: AJ Allmendinger
Fresh off season with first Sprint Cup win, 'Dinger looking for more MORE: Full schedule of season previews Team: JTG Daugherty Racing No. 47 Chevrolet Rank in final 2014 standings: 13th Wins: 1 ( Watkins Glen International ) Year in photos: AJ Allmendinger 2014 highlights Strides: Allmendinger is coming off a career season, collecting his first ever NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win in a hard-fought final lap duel with Marcos Ambrose on the Watkins Glen, New York road course. The victory was also the first for his single-car JTG Daughtery team, landing the organization in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup for the first time. A new technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing and Chevy engines from Earnhardt Childress (ECR) seemed to have paid off for the team. Allmendinger's two top-five finishes equals a career best and his five top-10 efforts were the most for him since 2011. Setbacks: While the team will look back fondly on 2014 as a year of progress, Allmendinger realizes that expectations rise with success. Consistency proved to be a real problem as he missed advancing to the Contender Round of the new elimination-style Chase format, alternating sub-20th place finishes with a respectful 13th-place run at Loudon in the opening three-race round. He had consecutive runs of sixth place (Richmond) and fifth place (Talladega) in the spring but didn't manage another top-10 finish until his victory at Watkins Glen, which came 12 races later. Quoteworthy: "I feel like the person I am, I love that underdog role, I love that small team feeling that we have to work harder than everyone just to compete with them," Allmendinger said. What's next: Allmendinger has always maintained the attitude that his small team has to take baby steps as it raises its game to compete with the perennial Chase contenders, mega-teams such as Hendrick Motorsports , Stewart-Haas Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing . However, scoring the win at Watkins Glen and a berth in the Chase was a huge confidence boost. Consistency and more top-15 finishes are realistic goals for the team this year and with Allmendinger's proven record on road courses, a second Chase berth is a reasonable expectation as well. "We have a long ways to go but we know if we go out there and we hit our best, on any given day we can win a race," Allmendinger said. "With the new [Chase] format especially, Ryan Newman showed you don't have to be great, just good enough to make it to the next (round) and heck, he was two laps away from winning the championship this year."

NASCAR Illustrated: Up Front with AJ Allmendinger
Driver talks past, future in interview RELATED: Subscribe to NASCAR Illustrated AJ Allmendinger has seen his share of adversity during nearly a decade in NASCAR. Two years ago, he hit the lowest point in his career after a failed drug test led him out of Team Penske and into NASCAR's Road to Recovery program. Chastened, the 32-year-old driver kick-started the second chapter of his career by winning two Nationwide races last year for Roger Penske. Allmendinger is now back in the Cup Series trying to push JTG Daugherty's program and his career to the next level. We caught up with Allmendinger a day after the No. 47 was swept up in an early wreck at Daytona. Just two weeks earlier, he'd led a race-high 34 laps at Sonoma before contact with Dale Earnhardt Jr . derailed his shot at for a first Cup victory and the Chase berth that would've come with it. NI: You're known as a strong road racer but what are your thoughts on plate racing? Allmendinger : Out of all the racing we do, it's my least favorite. There's just so much that goes into it. A lot of it's luck, being in the right place at the right time and missing the "big one." The racing can be exciting at times for sure. As a driver, you definitely have to be at full concentration the whole time you're out there when you're in the pack just because one 2-inch mistake can be a big, big crash. Especially if you're the one making that mistake, you feel bad because you wrecked yourself and you've got a lot of competitors that you feel bad about because they're probably pissed off at you. NI: You had a car that could have won at Sonoma before you were taken out. Does it take long to get over that? Allmendinger : I don't know if you ever fully get over it. To a certain degree, in this sport, you gotta be ready to go the next weekend. You can't let a bad weekend carry over into the next weekend. It's tough because I thought we had a shot to win. We were up front, top two cars every practice session and qualifying, led the most laps, played the strategy to what ours was and we just got into an incident. It is what it is. You can't fix it. NI: If you can get that first win, you're all but in the Chase. No added pressure there? Allmendinger : Honestly, I look at it two different ways. The Chase would be great for the fact that our sponsors and this race team being such a small team, to be able to promote that we won a race and are in the Chase, that would be fantastic. But when it comes to, "Do we have to make the Chase for it to be a successful season?" No. We're not a championship-winning team right now. There's no doubt about it. We're a small team, we're trying to grow to that at some point and it's going to be a long process to get there and a lot of hard work. I think with the right effort we can actually get there. NI: It might sound like a strange question but are you almost glad things played out the way they did back in 2012? Allmendinger : Except for the mere fact of having to put Roger Penske through that. Other than that, I'm way happier now than I have ever been when it comes to a lot of things. I still put a lot of pressure on myself racing, so I still have those ups and downs, but it's a different kind of pressure now. The ownership just makes this team such a family. I want to take this team to a new level. That's the pressure I put on myself, to put this team on my back and take it to another level. I feel like they deserve it down from ownership and the team because they work so hard. NI: How has your perspective changed in the past couple of years? Allmendinger : It's a different perspective now. It's not the only thing in the world, you know? There are other things that are important and in the grand scheme probably a lot more important than racing. But obviously when you make your life and you put your heart and soul into it, it feels like the most important thing. I wouldn't change anything that I've had to go through for anything except for disappointing Roger Penske. Hopefully, last year, winning the Nationwide races and having a shot to win Indy made up for it. NI: It's our tailgate issue, so I have to ask about your abilities on the grill. Can we call you a grilling master? Allmendinger : No (laughs). We can lie to everybody and tell them I can grill anything up. Only problem is hopefully I won't get called out on it. I really enjoy grilling because it is so healthy to be able to do that and I'm real health conscious when it comes to what I eat. The sponsors we have on our team are great when it comes to all that. So it makes it a lot easier because we're stocked with a lot of great things to eat. I live in an apartment right now so it's hard to grill in the corner without a balcony. My girlfriend is really good at grilling so she's shown me some stuff. Hopefully, in the near future, I can have a house and practice up but right now it'd be a stretch to say grilling master. I'd like to be. Let's put it that way. NI: It's hard to believe you've been in NASCAR for almost a decade now. What's been your personal highlight so far? Allmendinger : The Nationwide wins were something I'll never forget, especially with what led to those. I remember making my first race at Bristol -- it took me four tries to finally make a race -- back in 2007 when there were 50 or 60 cars trying to qualify each weekend. Making our first Daytona 500 in 2009 and almost winning the thing. ( Allmendinger finished third in the No. 44 Richard Petty Motorsports Dodge.) But I think the highlight is still being here really. This sport is tough. It will bring some guys in, especially with the open-wheel side of it, and spit them back out pretty quick. So to have the commitment level and just the do-or-die work ethic trying to stay in when things were bad and things got better and things got bad again, and keep coming back, I feel very fortunate that people believe in me. Whether it's the "King" or the "Captain" or Tad (Geschickter) to give me another shot to jump in this race car and feel like I can get the job done now. More than anything, just being able to still be a part of it through thick and thin is something that's probably the most special. SUBSCRIBE NOW!

Incredibly helpful! Notice they provide a zip of the code that you can run off-line as well.
Wow. I spent hours pouring over the HD44780 data sheet and couldn't understand a thing. After 15 minutes of toying around with this thing, I had gained more knowledge about the interface than I had while reading the data sheet.
I guess it helps to have an free interactive interface where you can quickly and easily manipulate the bit data. Nice work!
