Green Bay Heads to Motor City for Game of the Week
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After a setback at Wright State snapped its three-game winning streak, Green Bay (6-8, 0-1 HL) looks to bounce back against one of the Horizon League's top teams on Saturday, playing at Detroit's Calihan Hall at 1 p.m. CT. Detroit (9-5, 1-0 HL), led by Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Ray McCallum, is 8-0 at home in 2012-13 and posted a 74-59 victory over Milwaukee to open conference play on Thursday. The Phoenix is looking for its first road win of the season.
Green Bay aims for a faster start on the offensive end after shooting 29.2 percent from the field in the first half in Thursday's 64-53 loss at Wright State. The Phoenix shot 43.5 percent in the second half but could not overcome a halftime deficit. Senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) came off the Phoenix bench to lead all scorers with 17 points in 19 minutes.
In Detroit's win over Milwaukee, the Titans trailed by a point at the break but used a 21-4 run after halftime to earn the win. The reigning Horizon League tournament champions put five players in double figures in the contest.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: The game is the first Horizon League Game of the Week, and fans will be able to follow the action from Detroit by tuning into Time Warner Cable's Channel 310. The game was initially slated to be aired by Time Warner Cable's Sports32. Will Haskett (play-by-play) will be on the call alongside Joel Cornette (color analyst) for the television broadcast. The HLN Game of the Week broadcast will also be streamed live on the Horizon League Network and ESPN3.com.
The game will also be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. INSIDE THE SERIES: Detroit holds a slight 22-20 edge in the all-time series with the Phoenix, including an 11-8 edge in Calihan Hall. Green Bay's last road win in the series was a 64-62 victory on Feb. 11, 2010.
2. LAST SEASON'S MEETINGS: Detroit swept two close meetings between the two teams in 2011-12, winning 80-73 in Green Bay and 77-74 in Calihan Hall. The Phoenix shot 49.1 percent from the field and 50 from long range in the two outings, but the Titans held a 24-point edge at the free-throw line. Alec Brown led the Phoenix in the meetings with 15 points per game.
3. POINT, COUNTERPOINT: Saturday's matchup will pit two of the Horizon League's top point guards. Detroit junior Ray McCallum is the conference's leading scorer, averaging 18.4 points per game while Green Bay sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) is fourth in the league at 16.2 points per game. McCallum also leads the league in assists and steals while Sykes is second in free-throw percentage and seventh in steals. Both players log a lot of minutes, ranking among the Horizon League leaders in minutes per game.
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay enters Horizon League play as the top free-throw shooting team in the Horizon League, and its 76.4 percent from the line is also tied for 10th nationally. The Phoenix is 233-305 on the season and has four players with 10 or more attempts shooting at least 85 percent for the season - Kam Cerroni (23-23), Daniel Turner (11-12), Brennan Cougill (31-35) and Keifer Sykes (70-81).
• STREAKIN' (FT) SHOOTERS: Three different Green Bay players carry streak of 16 or more made free throws into Saturday's game. Cerroni is 23-of-23 this season and has made 38 in a row dating back to Feb. 4, 2012. With his last miss coming on Nov. 17, Cougill has made 20 consecutive free throws. Sykes has made 16-straight at the charity stripe, including a 7-for-7 effort on Thursday.
• HANDLE THE ROCK: Since a forgettable opener in which he committed eight turnovers without an assist, Sykes has been terrific handling the ball. With 17 assists and just seven turnovers in the past three games, Sykes has now dished out 53 assists compared to just 25 turnovers in the past 13 games. In addition to ranking fourth in the conference in points, he is seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6) and assists (3.8).
• SULTAN OF STROKE: Junior Sultan Muhammad (Grand Rapids, Mich.) had the best game of his young Phoenix career against Illinois-Springfield. The junior college transfer made his first five three-pointers, all in the first half, en route to scoring a career-high 21 points. After two more threes at Wright State, Muhammad ranks sixth in the Horizon League in three-point percentage at 42.9 percent (24-56) and is averaging 6.8 points per game off the Phoenix bench.
• POSITIVE REINFORCEMENTS: Green Bay has welcomed back three key pieces in the past two games. Junior Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.) returned against Illinois-Springfield after missing the previous seven games with a torn MCL. Cougill returned against Wright State after serving a suspension for violating team rules. Sophomore Cole Stefan, a transfer from LaSalle, played for the first time at Green Bay on Thursday, logging 10 minutes.
• MAYS DAYS: Sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) has started the past five games and has been among the team's most consistent players. The 6-foot-9 Chicago native has scored between eight and 11 points in each outing and is averaging nine points, 4.8 rebounds and two blocked shots as a starter. Mays is also shooting 60 percent (18-30) during that stretch with six dunks.

Juvenile-Onset MMD1
When MMD1 begins in early childhood (but not at birth), the first symptoms tend to be more behavioral and cognitive than physical. Some people with the juvenile-onset form struggle with planning ahead, decision-making and visual-spatial processing. An "avoidant" or apathetic personality can be part of the picture.
As the child matures into adulthood, typical features of adult-onset MMD1 usually emerge.
To learn more about the juveile-onset form of MMD1, be sure to read Juvenile-Onset MMD1 Can Cause Cognitive, Behavior Challenges (part of Quest's In Focus: Myotonic Muscualr Dystrophy series).

After ten men held an Indian city hostage to terrorism, they were finally subdued, but not before their goal of disrupting both Pakistan and India had been achieved. Indian officials announced that it was raising security to a "war level"which naturally secured a Pakistan response that it was pulling troops away from tribal regions in order to man defenses on the frontier with India. Although the situation is not as tense as 2002 when both nations came close to an armed conflict, Indian political leaders are bound to raise the fear of an outside aggression in order to secure votes in upcoming elections. The Home Minister has been fired and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is promising to upgrade the capabilities of special forces as well as expand the number of those troops.
Secretary Rice and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband will soon by headed towards India and Pakistan in an effort to reduce tensions. India has not yet claimed the Pakistan government had a hand in the Mumbai massacre, but it is clear a Pakistan-based group, Lashkar-e-Toiba played a prominent role in the entire operation. It is also clear that group has links to the Pakistan ISI organization.
It is amazing that ten men can come close to creating a war between two nations. It is important for the Pakistan government to clean up the infamous ISI including firing most of its leadership if there is ever to be trust in the Pakistan government.

How to wear your hair now…
January 30th, 20100
Whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight, the only way to wear it this spring is naturally. We must admit we've probably over done it with the straighteners over the years but now comes a more forgiving hair trend that will cause less damage and is achievable with less effort.
Harsh layers and severe bobs make way for easy curls and effortless waves with more natural volume. But there are to be no half hearted attempts at styles. If you're going short, make it extra short. Whereas long styles need to be long enough to get the right amount of volume, whilst keeping the length! Curls work just as well on short hair as they do on longer hair. One of the styles for 2010 is the messy bob, sported by the likes of Danii Minogue. The basic shape is that of a short layered bob but texture is added by loosely curling the hair to give it an undone natural look.
Longer styles suit looser curls and have the length to pull off more of wave than a curl too. The waves should start lower down the hair rather
than at the root, about cheekbone height will give the most flattering effects. Long styles also have the advantage of pulling off another of this season's hair trends; plaits. Lengthy plaits that sweep to one side scream summer days and boho chic, wear messy to really nail this look. Other up dos include messy buns and loosely pinned hair that looks effortless. This isn't however always the case. The messy look can take some mastering but with a little hairspray, a hand full of Kirby grips and a bit of practice, we're sure you'll have this style mastered in no time!

Hi guys!
I'm sure a lot of you know me from several other boards (FISD, astromech.net, the RPF and others), but I finally bit the bullet and got here. So far I've stayed away from Boba mainly to save my wallet, but now I'm here thanks to my girlfriend.
She actually said I'm not allowed to buy any more prop stuff...
... well until I have at least a nice Boba helmet in the collection (she wants me to do the whole suit, but the helmet will do for now).
What better time to actually get active here and see what you bounty hunters all are up to

Citing the country's "extreme fiscal duress," Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week said the administration would cut $78 billion from its five-year defense plan. The Pentagon budget would still continue to grow above inflation for the next three years, however.
Gates said plans call for the Army to be reduced by 27,000 active-duty troops, starting in 2015. The Marine Corp would decline by 15,000 to 20,000 troops. Gates also reiterated his earlier calls for reforms and greater efficiencies in military spending, a wide-ranging effort that deserves more congressional support.
Given the enormous growth in defense spending since 2001, it is reasonable to expect the Pentagon – like the rest of the government -- to find significant savings in the years ahead.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Exactly my point, the moisture is there be it vapor or liquid-it is there in whatever amount remained after it left the separator. You will have exactly the same amount of moisture exiting the gun regardless of whether it comes out of a cold hose or a hot one, the difference will be vapor or liquid. If it comes from a cold hose then a large percentage of the moisture will already be condensed into liquid water on the walls of the hose (this is why the separator needs to be AFTER the cooler since vapor will pass through most separators). Even at the colder temperature as the air expands upon exiting it will cool even more and cause more of the remaining vapor to condense into liquid, this will be in ADDITION to the liquid water being expelled that had already formed on the cold walls of the hose. If however the hose is kept warm, or better yet heated in the sun as you described, then the air will be hotter and the water will remain a vapor until it reaches the gun. All you will have to deal with at this point is whatever vapor condenses as it leaves the gun instead of having an already condensed liquid from a cold hose being dispersed with the air.
|I agree totaly but what i was in fear of is IF there ANY moisture left in the hose itself at all,it would liquify when it hits the cool gun,been there and done that so many times,the gun actualy forms a "sweaty" film and drips while spraying,the humidity here in Ga is terrible
|You actually went backward in trying to insulate the hot hose, think about it. As long as the air is cold the water is in liquid form, exactly what you don't want, but if it is heated inside the hose it will then become a harmless vapor. (hot air hitting a cold hose would result in liquid water, cold air hitting a hot hose would result in vapor) I know this is the opposite of what we all have been saying forever about cooling the air to remove moisture but remember this is after the separator so now you are stuck with whatever moisture remains in the air in the line so you would be far better off to keep it hot so the moisture would stay in a vapor form. Some of the vapor will condense upon exiting whatever tool is being used at the time but this is still preferable to having the vapor already condensed into liquid on the walls of a cool air hose. I guess my point is that the goal should be to cool the air as much as possible BEFORE it enters the separator so that moisture can be more efficiently removed. But AFTER it exits the separator the remaining moisture is only going to be removed when it exits the hose through whatever tool is being used so at that point hotter air would be preferable in order to keep as much of the remaining water in vapor form as possible.
You'd be surprised at how much moisture the first trap caught right off the compressor.
I mainly wanted the first one to catch any contaminants (oil,dirt,dust etc) before it went any further in the line but it collected ALOT of water in it also.
Mind me,this was ALL a "redneck" makeshift backyard setup just to get the job done on a few vehicles.
I had an old shed type shop big enough to put a car in and build a makeshift booth.
The shed was 100 foot or so away from the house with no power so, i had to run hoses from the compressor behind the house where 220v is available, so i had 150ft of hose to the shed.
I had the first trap right off the compressor,ran the first hose in a downward circular motion around an old wire fence tomato steak,then to the second trap on the ground below the AC evaporator,then another trap below the exit side of the evaporator and to the gun in the shed.
We came across the idea of using the evaporator in ice but was kind of in fear the last part of the hose laying in the hot sun outside would cause alot more moisture in the line with all that cold air suddenly hitting the hot hose,so long story short we just ran the last part of the hose through some old 2" PVC pipe to keep the hot sun off it and go with that.
It worked WELL,so well i had everything on quick disconnects and only used that whole setup for painting untill i got a better setup to keep moisture and contaminates out of those lines while using air tools.
heard enough of the old"Redneck Engineering" ?...lol
|When it is time to paint, I intend to try the washtub and copper coil in ice water followed by a water trap. But I also might add a cooler between the compressor pump and the tank. http://www.dune-buggy.com/webs/Off-R...ompressor.html Besides causing more water to "drop out" in the tank, you get "more" air in the tank this way.
The A/C core has been used a lot, nothing new here, and I know of one (made from a core from a ranger PU) that works really good and this guy had a real problem before due to poor line layout, he still has a bad setup on his lines but the A/C core takes care of the problem. The twist here is in using an Air conditioner to cool the core instead of just a fan and it sounds like it might work really well. If the cool air from the A/C unit is channeled into the core and then a GOOD water separator is used it should take care of most moisture problems even with very short lines, maybe not work as well as a dedicated drier unit but I would think it should do pretty good.
Two of your driers would work a lot better on the down stream side of the cooler since the two before the cooler are in warm air where the moisture is still in vapor form.
Alot of guys have used the AC evaporators and they work well,just have to make sure the connections handle the PSI.
I used one from an old 86 F250( thing was HUGE) diesel for painting before i bought an air dryer unit,i didnt put it in ice,just a good fan blowing through it and have had to bypass it to use air tools because it dryed them out too fast it worked so well.
But i also had a water trap in 3 places,right off the compressor,down low right before the evaporator and after it and then a cheap dessicant disposible before the gun
|When you get this thing put together come back and tell us how well it works, you may be on to something there.
Air Dryer
I agree with you on the AC evaporator coil a large one. A roll or two of aluminum metal tape to seal things up so all the cool air flows thru the coil a water trap and you have dry air. Where there's a will there's a way! TF
|Jag, I too have used that trick it really does work and works well. The large A/C evaporator core and A/C unit would work on the same principle by cooling the air before the separator but not as well as the ice water. The A/C setup would be a permanent solution if it worked good enough for his application but then an A/C evaporator core with a simple fan forced air flow through it works pretty good too.
Air Dryer
We did a T-bird using a larger plastic tubb filled with ice and about 30 feet of 1/2 inch copper tubbing. You still have to have a water seperator at the end of it. But the rube goldburg dryer worked for a one time shot. The tubing is emersed in the ice-water mix (about 70-90 lbs.). The seperator worked great in removing the water with a constant blowdown removing the water.
If you are looking for a permant fix go looking for a regular air dryer. Used ones can be had off of ebay. Good luck TF
|Basically that's how the commercial drier units work so the idea is sound but I doubt it would be very efficient. Maybe if the air conditioner was big enough and you could box in the core so that all the air from the compressor had to flow past the cooler core but remember it would be under high pressure so I doubt seriously this could be done safely even if the multitude of other problems could be solved. IMO this would be far too impractical but I have to admit it is an interesting idea. A heat exchanger such as a larger auto air conditioner evaporator with the compressed air flowing through it and placed in the air flow from a large high output air conditioner unit would cool the air substantially and would make a water separator work very efficiently. If this separator were to be located just after the air exits the evaporator core while it is still very cool then I would think that most of the moisture would be removed. Not exactly converting and air conditioner to a drier but it would use the AC to make a standard separator work much better.
Air dryer
Is it possible to turn an air conditioner into an air dryer for an air compressor.

This is just an observation but from what I see and what I heard around the country and from what others are saying - gun sales, in particular AR and AK platform rifle sales are slowing down. In fact prices are slowly falling but not quite to where they were prior to the pre-election prices and before the Sandy Hook event and subsequent talk of gun bans.
The major and obvious reasons are of course high prices but also due to the fact that there's no ammo for sale (certainly not at reasonable prices). Fortunately most of us are well prepped with firearms and ammo but for everyone else it has to be a real unfortunate mess.
I would think that the Russian, Ukraine and Serbian ammo producers would be going gangbusters and shipping to the US to meet this extraordinary demand. Maybe they are but I also hear that the Feds are ready to stop all ammo imports using "sequestration" as an excuse. They apparently will say that they can't spare the manpower due to "sequestration" and this will prevent cheaper foreign ammo from reaching store shelves and online vendor warehouses.
I was really hoping to see more firearms (and kits) and ammo reached the hands of the masses in this country making it all that more difficult for the anti-gun politicians and gun grabbers to even consider bans and seizures. Perhaps we can keep up the pressure on our Reps in Washington to gain more gun freedoms and to allow more imports of milsurp and "cheap" foreign commercial ammo to reach our shores and into the hands of the people.

In light of the latest tragedy and the constant, senseless killings being witnessed in the United States, this blog advocates an immediate gathering of minds.
A gathering of peace-loving minds that will "come together to take meaningful action" and bring to light permanent and solid measures to put an end to the rampages which are now a common occurrence north of (and quite frankly, south of) the Rio Grande. So common it has become natural. Surely there is a way out of this madness and people all over have a right to safety, security and peace of mind.
Deaths, be they caused by uncontrolled gun laws or by connivance, can be stopped if those at the receiving end join hands both literally and figuratively in a national peace effort, one such that will influence all levels of society and government. It can be done, it can be achieved.
Far too many people have lost their lives as in this latest calamitous event which saw the death of innocent children and adults alike. Surely, there is a way - the impetus and the means - out there to enable that to happen. Take action and, by all means, make it meaningful!
My observations on life, my surroundings, real or virtual, plus other noteworthy developments and their impact on Human Beings.

Let us keep our fingers crossed, Frank.Delete
Insightful as always. Mauro, it very well may be happening. I feel more movement behind the rage, anger, and sadness than I have in a long time. This might be the defining moment that changed everything.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Kyle. Folks (and perhaps the world) are tired... Our hearts and good thoughts go out to you all.ReplyDelete
This warmed my soul :-)ReplyDeleteReplies

Given the improved analytical capabilities of Excel, scientists and engineers everywhere are using it--instead of FORTRAN--to solve problems. And why not? Excel is installed on millions of computers, features a rich set of built-in analyses tools, and includes an integrated Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language. No wonder it's today's computing tool of choice.
Chances are you already use Excel to perform some fairly routine calculations. Now the Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook shows you how to leverage Excel to perform more complex calculations, too, calculations that once fell in the domain of specialized tools. It does so by putting a smorgasbord of data analysis techniques right at your fingertips. The book shows how to perform these useful tasks and others:
Wherever possible, the Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook draws on real-world examples from a range of scientific disciplines such as biology, chemistry, and physics. This way, you'll be better prepared to solve the problems you face in your everyday scientific or engineering tasks.
High on practicality and low on theory, this quick, look-up reference provides instant solutions, or "recipes," to problems both basic and advanced. And like other books in O'Reilly's popular Cookbook format, each recipe also includes a discussion on how and why it works. As a result, you can take comfort in knowing that complete, practical answers are a mere page-flip away.
As a naval architect and marine engineer, David M. Bourg performs computer simulations and develops analysis tools that measure such things as hovercraft performance and the effect of waves on the motion of ships and boats. He teaches at the college level in the areas of ship design, construction and analysis. On occasion, David also lectures at high schools on topics such as naval architecture and software development. In addition to David's practical engineering background, he's professionally involved in computer game development and consulting through his company, Crescent Vision Interactive.

The animal on the cover of the Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook is a common genet (Genetta vulgaris or Genetta genetta), also known as a true or small-spotted genet. (The taxonomy of the genus is controversial, with several similar species and numerous proposed subspecies, reflecting many geographic and habitat-specific variations.) The animal's name is pronounced with a soft "g" and rhymes with "Senate," in contrast to the homographic surname of the French novelist and playwright of the theater of the absurd.Related to but distinct from true cats, genets are members of the civet or viverrid family (Viverridae), which also includes the mongoose. The viverrids are generally regarded as the closest living descendants of the extinct common ancestor of the carnivores. The oldest genet fossils, found in Morocco, date back to the Pliocene. Genets were kept as pets by the ancient Egyptians and as rat catchers in Europe until they were eventually replaced by house cats (depictions of domesticated genets can be seen on European tapestries from the Middle Ages).Common genets are distributed throughout southern Europe, parts of the Middle East, North Africa, and the savanna south of the Sahara. They prefer low altitudes but live in diverse habitats, including pine forests, olive groves, rocky areas, and scrublands. Genets are considered arboreal, but they also spend a large amount of time on the ground and are partial to streambanks. They are agile climbers, with semiretractable claws and an extremely flexible body that can squeeze through any opening large enough to admit the head. They are primarily solitary; genets of opposite sexes may share overlapping territory, but those of the same sex will not. They are mostly nocturnal, resting during the day in thickets and hollow trees. Genets do most of their hunting on the ground and, like cats, they hunt by stealth, crouching low to the ground and killing prey with a quick bite on the neck.The genet is an opportunistic carnivore; its main prey are small mammals, but it rounds out its diet according to seasonal availability with birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, and fruits. Genets use their sense of smell for both hunting and communication; they convey social, mating, and territorial messages via secretions from several scent glands (although these are not as highly developed as those of civets, whose perineal glands have long played a role in the making of perfume and the unusual processing of Indonesian coffee beans called kopi luwak). Both sexes use flank and hind-leg rubbing to distribute olfactory cues, in addition to marking with perineal secretions (common among females) and urine (more popular with males).Genets have five vocalizations: a hiccup (used primarily by mothers to call the litter, and by males during the mating period); a purr (used only during the first week of life); a mew (used by the young while still dependent); a growl (used by the young once their predatory behavior is fully developed); and a click (used by adults in aggressive interactions). In offensive stance, the dorsal fur bristles and the genet arches its back, opens its mouth, and bares its teeth.The cover image is from Lydekker's Royal Natural History. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed.

Comments about oreilly Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook:
This is a good book and I have only covered the first 3 chapters in depth. The book should be upgraded to the latest Excel version--its still back about version 2000 or the next one later. From browsing through the rest of the book I find that there are quite a few graphs which should have had the data tables included. A CD with examples of most of the problems should have been included. I want to finish going through this book and then give you my comments on the entire book.

a good book
By AS
from Undisclosed
By the time I read this book I had already discovered, on my own, many of the things presented. However I would have saved considerable time and frustration had I read the book first. It it definitely a good book, not just for learning, but also as a reference. If you plan to use Excel for science and engineering, read this book first.
Head and Shoulders above the rest

I've been trying to find a book which could help my physics students analyze laboratory data using excel. There are so many badly written excel books out there that I almost gave up. Then I found the Excel Scientific Engineering Cookbook. Great book! The information is layed out so you can find what you need easily and the level of detail is just right. Also a great chapter on VBA which lets you jump right in and do stuff.

Really A Book for Beginner
By paldopal
I have seen and read a lot of books on Excel but no one meet my needs.This book is like that the someone is sitting in front of u and explaing u every thing that u want to know and understand.And once the person reads this book it cann't control itself to turn out the next page of this wonderful book.Thanks to OReilly and the author of this book.Please say my words to the author that u r great.
Wow! Just what was needed
By dtsitrelis
A treasure trove of numerical methods for spreadsheets. While using Excel in this way won't replace a more general-purpose mathematical package like Mathematica, Maple, etc. it leverages spreadsheet applications to provide widely available solutions.I especially liked that the authors included a little theory when explaining each technique and that they provide such a fair use policy of the included code.

In a recent ARTICLE, I went over a number of potential changes that Canonical announced for future Ubuntu releases, some of which will apply as soon as 11.04 Natty Narwhal is released. As soon as I heard that news, I wondered how the many Ubuntu based distros would go about it, specially Linux Mint. If you also wondered yourself, here are some answers from none other than Linux Mint Founder Clement Lefebvre, extracted from a recent INTERVIEW published by free software oriented news site MUKTWARE.
"We're not planning to switch to Unity but to keep our desktop as similar as it is at the moment. So it's hard to say how we'll achieve this technically but we're aiming at using Gnome without Gnome Shell :)", said Lefebvre.
On the topic of using Wayland, he said: "... it's an interesting project. Ubuntu isn't going to switch to it this year and we'll see future releases keep X for now. The backing of canonical behind this project could bring it up to speed as a really interesting alternative and a good successor to X, just as it could make it something that only suits Ubuntu itself.. the future will tell. For now we're sticking with X with no plans to change, but we'll keep an eye on the development of Wayland and see where it's going in the near future."
This is interesting, not only as far as Mint 11 is concerned, but also because it sounds as if Clement had a bit of an insider view on the subject. Mark Shuttleworth suggested that Wayland could be part of Ubuntu 11.04 (although he did hint at the possibility that it could take longer than that), but Lefebvre clearly states that Wayland is not to be used any time soon. It will be interesting to see what happens eventually, but I have to say Clement's point of view sounds more realistic.
As a final comment, Lefebvre stated: "Anyway, it's too soon to talk about this. Mint 10 is about to be released, and Mint 11 will come with the same desktop and the same X server in about 6 months time."
It's interesting to see Mint deviating more and more from Ubuntu's path. On the one hand, it is great news because it should bring further diversity to the Linux user community. On the other hand, it brings some question marks around the feasibility of Canonical future plans for Ubuntu.
Will future changes play in favor or against Ubuntu and its user community? We will have to wait and see.

Hi,there is the old saying dont change a winning formula,Not having all the information i cant really say to much as i dont have all the information_Chema you know what would be really nice if at some point you could get an interview with the ubuntu people on there reasoning for the upcoming changes to ubuntu and what they hope to gain from those changes just a thought.ReplyDelete

I may have to switch over to Linux Mint with the upcoming changes to Ubuntu. I agree with sunrise54321 regarding the folks at Ubuntu messing with a winning formula!ReplyDelete
As a long time Ubuntu user I disagree with the radical changes Ubuntu is suggesting to such a great distro.

Afternoon, fellas!
I have just wrapped up my first sale, and I'm interested in gaining positive feedback for myself, and retroactively leaving it for others that I have purchased from. I ran a search before posting this thread, and it seems that the iTrader link is missing from my 'Forum Actions' or 'Community' dropdown menus.
I don't see any articles pertaining to the function (unless I missed it). Is this feature undergoing maintenance/redesign? Was it scrapped?
Thanks in advance,

Please could someone advise if any notice is required to be given to a landlord of a commercial property if there is no lease in place.
The lease ran out years ago and has never been renewed. The property is a very small shop.
I am writing a letter giving 6 weeks notice but the landlord has said he needs at least 2 months. I am not sure if he can do this considering there is no existing lease in place.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Jun 27, 2011.
If MSU wins those three games, then they are a very good football team.
The question remains...Will Darth think so when they pull it off?
The question is moot. They won't. I know you are just baiting me, Chum bucket, but they have given us no reason to believe they will win all three of those let alone ONE! Their defense looks good AT THIS POINT, but their offense is lame. The running backs couldn't get an inch against Ohio State and Cousins couldn't throw two good passes (to HIS receivers) in a row. I view them as a mediocre team. Ohio State has all kinds of issues. They aren't going to beat Michigan without scoring points. Wisconsin will abuse them. Nebraska doesn't look great but they are at home. MSU is currently 4-1. But the best team they played by far was Notre Dame and that resulted in a blowout. Do you think Cousins will suddenly locate his jewels? Do you think Dantonio will out coach any of his opponents? I think they may get one of those. Which one, I don't know. Official odds of winning Odds of winning one: 65% Odds of winning zero: 50% Odds of winning two: 27.485% Odds of winning three: 10% So look for MSU to win none or one, you brainless fish. ;)
See you in a month...I will consider 2-3 my success, 0-1 and you're right.
Deal!! Shall we place an avatar wager on it? May the force be with you.
Tell me your avatar terms of agreement... Remember, I have a warped sense of humor...
Yeah, I know. No naked women. Rascoe is touchy about that sort of stuff. I meant like I would wear U of M for a week or you would wear Sparty. Something simple. Speaking of Rascoe...anyone seen him???
Let's see...You're avatar would be a U of M and my would be Sparty. How about a Month............you up for that?
No sir. Me skeeeeeerreeeed. I think Brady Hoke is a really good coach and has done a great job with that team. That being said, Michigan has not yet left the friendly confines of Ann Arbor. I don't have a great deal of confidence in either Cousins or Dantonio. I believe the MSU defense will slow down Denard, but they won't stop him and he will still do pretty well. Cousins folds in a clutch moment and Dantonio gets too conservative trying to protect a 4th quarter league or tries some idiotic play at an idiotic time and Michigan doesn't bite. My early guess (subject to change since we still have two weeks) is that Both teams play well but also make costly errors. U of M wins in overtime on the road and I've got to put up with crap on the forum for the entire year. It's been that kind of football year for me (NFL, College, and even fantasy football). Every time for the last 3 weeks that I think it cannot possibly get any worse than the previous week...it does! Look for a U of M vs. Wisconsin Big Ten title game in Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis.
OK...I'm a nice guy. Let's do a week. Your football prediction prowess has been strained this season. I will e-mail you your avatar when you lose....ok?
I always get my avatars from google images and save it to my desktop. I'm not sure I know how to use one from an email. Anyhow, I don't trust you. I'll pick my own avatar if I lose, (which I won't) unless you send it to me for pre-approval AND I approve it AND if I can figure out how to use it.
I would prefer if you used this one. http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/mul...809/campus.cheer.michigan/images/IMG_0110.jpg This one would also be acceptable.... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_00M0dtKxfiI/SjwBP5HNM6I/AAAAAAAAAFU/awwyzmRhn9Q/s400/cheerleader.bmp I know they have nothing like this at MSU... I've used it before as my avatar. BTW...You keep posting that you don't trust me. How come???
Reading this, if you read between the lines, he is saying that Cousins (and the rest of the squad) are a bunch of chokers. Dantonio on Cousins: 'I'm not concerned at all' Look. I'm not saying that I could do better (of course I cannot and never could) or that these aren't a great bunch of kids ( I think many, like Kirk Cousins ARE) great people) and "pretty good" football players. But the "fact" remains...the MSU football team much more often than not, cannot win a big game against a quality opponent!! it's not talent. It's the lack of that thing that makes champion athletes...champions! I like the team and I enjoy watching them. But I do not believe in them or Dantonio. Please show me that I am wrong and being too critical.
Darth...I cannot show you. The team MUST do that this season during the next few weeks. I cannot set your standards by which to judge them by. I base my opinion this season on the following... - They're 4-1...which is very good. - They beat Ohio State. - They should be 5-0...great teams also lose games though... - They're not perfect yet, but they can be much better due to the talent level. I fully Expect this squad to come together and win like I have preached, during the next 4 weeks. Last season: the team finished tied for the Big Ten Title. They beat an excellent Wisconsin team who is dominating this season. They won the most games ever for the Spartans in a single season. They finished a LOT higher than anybody thought they would. As a fan of Michigan, I've seen many great teams. IMHO let's see if I can critize them... - They never seem to win bowl games....uggghhh... - During their 13-0 season, against OSU...they ran the ball 40 times for 40 yards, or 1 ypc... - That year, we had NO running game and won many close game. However the season was magical....... I say butter...you choose Parkay. I say Larry Walton was the best...you choose Megatron. I say Nemo...you say "clownfish". Our opinions are different based maybe on a differing set of standards. I do think you're harsh on the Spartans, but I always respect your opinion. I'm betting on them cause I believe. You bet against them cause you're in need of more proof...
Look, I hate to admit it but we all know that U of M football DOES have a history of winning some big games. They lose some but also win some. Sparty has been much better than U of M the last few seasons and are a decent team, but this crap of not being quite good enough is getting old. Yes. Sparty is 4-1. Most of those games were home games against teams that are pretty crappy. The Ohio State win was very nice, but it doesn't look like the Buckeyes are very good this year. Then there was Notre dame. Win two of the next three (won't happen) and I will quit moaning. The basketball team is a different story.
Actually over the years...Michigan has a better OVERALL history of basketball than MSU does. Michigan leads in the head-to-head competition overall, and Michigan UNdressed the Spartans TWICE last season...Spartans was UGLY>>> WOW...this critizing is easy...but Billlaimbeer would already agree with that about me.
MSU has been the better basketball team for over a decade. Don't even try it.
I wouldn't Darth. Just wanted to show you that it is easy to find fault if you look for it. I love your BB coach and the last 15 years...
I'm not trying to find "fault". I'm trying to find RASCOE!
We've made the last 19 posts here on this thread. Just us two... That can only mean one of two things. 1. The Spartans are boring...or 2. You and I are annoying....
Separate names with a comma.

starting this to be a more-or-less chronological build up thread.
At this point I've already got the helmet, flight suit, flack vest, belt pouches, and gloves on the go, and boy is it a learning curve.
modded Don Post. I think it may be the vinyl, since it's wobbly as a jellyfish on a unicycle. I cut off the top right ear cup that must've been put on by someone who has never seen a photo of Boba Fett. They'd squirted a gallon of glue on the helmet, then threw the part on from 10 feet away, it seems.
I've torn off the old T visor (in this case more like a lower case T - the Don Post ones only have a tiny eye opening, with the rest of the T being solid, black painted plastic), drilled screw holes for the ear cup, sanded the part to actually fit on the helmet, bondo'd, and hit it with silver paint. I trimmed the stalk off the range finder and a buddy of mine is going to machine up an aluminium one. Really, I'm thinking of saying the heck with it and getting one of the cold cast helmets or something. This pig is a lot of work for a little return.
Flight suit:
My girlfriend picked up a few meters of white poplin at Fabricland. We dyed it with Rit, blue with a bit of pearl grey, and washed & dried it to get any shrinking out of the way. It's come out Robin's Egg Blue though so we're thinking of dunking it in the grey alone for a 2nd bath. For a pattern, she took a pair of my old PPE coveys and heavily modified it, then took my measurements to make it a bit more form fitting. We're doing the pleats around the middle even though they'll be covered by the various belts.
The plan is to make the neck seal part of the flight suit, though the same colour as the flack vest.
Flack vest:
Again, my girlfriend is helping with this one. She's making it double layer with thin quilting/wadding between the layers and is cutting as I type this. It's made from the same poplin as the flight suit.
Gloves: parade gloves dyed grey, with white sewn on.
Pics to follow when there's something worth showing.


text: We had a few people think it would be interesting to do a judging game on this event. Very interesting mix of skaters - Butryskaya, Markova, Bonaly, Baiul plus a few others. I am happy to do the ISUCalc part of it (have updated it on my laptop). We need a TS and ATS. I am happy to act as a TC but only if no-one else wants the role as I would like to judge this one. Is someone able to post the clips here? We can have as many judges as those who want to participate. If I fill a panel I can just start another one. You are allowed to pick a country - first in best dressed. Marks will be entered in the order I receive them from the judges so again first in best dressed. At the end of the event (we will have a deadline of a couple of weeks on this) the protocols will be posted for everyone to see. And then you can feel free to snark at your fellow judges (What the hell were you thinking !!!) To help with the judging, a couple of ISU Communications to assist with the rules. Use Communications 1619 and 1611 from this link. http://www.isu.org/vsite/vnavsite/page/directory/0,10853,4844-130127-131435-nav-list,00.html One this link there is a Program Component Overview and also Explanations which may assist with the component side of things. http://www.isu.org/vsite/vnavsite/page/directory/0,10853,4844-152055-169271-nav-list,00.html Couple of other things to be aware of: Mark elements in order as performed. If you haven't done one of these games before, PCS are marked in increments of .25. Eg if you are marking in the 7.00s, then you could use 7.00, 7.25, 7.50, 7.75. Other marks won't be able to be entered in the program. When it comes to steps and spins, judge quality, not quantity. If the steps are easy but very well done, reward the skater for it. Unless the element has to be in the minuses of GOE according to the communication, if it has a slight deduction, then the element can still be in the +GOE. You do need to take into account all the aspects of the element, not just the deduction when applying the GOE. Keep an open mind about choreography and music. You may not like the program or choice of music, but if the skater is using it and it is appropriate for the music, then reward the skater in their PCS. Once you have watched the clips when posted, then you can send the marks through to me at [email protected]. Last time someone had set up an Excel spreadsheet for this so if someone wanted to do that then that would be great. Looking forward to playing. Cheers AW

ESPN's John Keim reports the Redskins will start QB Kirk Cousins in their Week 15 game vs. Atlanta. Coach Mike Shanahan raised the possibility Monday of benching Griffin for the last three regular-season games, citing 24 sacks in the past five games and the desire to keep him healthy for the offseason. Griffin's offseason work this year was compromised by the major knee injury he suffereed in the team's playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks in January. A team source on Tuesday said owner Dan Snyder would not intervene if Shanahan decided to make a switch at quarterback.
Fantasy Analysis:
Washington's offense is a mess. You're already in dire straits at the QB position if you were considering RG III as an option in Week 15, as we have him ranked our #19 QB vs. Atlanta. Cousins is a non-factor this week and should not be started in any league.
Also expect this to de-value WR Pierre Garcon and TE Jordan Reed , if he plays. It could, however, mean an above average day for RB Alfred Morris in the ground game, as the Falcons give up the third most rushing yards per game and have allowed 12 rushing TD's on the season.

DCT issues with 1 yr old 135i (13,000Km)
Just 2 weeks ago on my way back from the grocery store I heard a "ding" and up popped the gear wheel symbol with an exclamation point. I was 2 mins from home so just kept driving. Pulled up beside my drive and prepared to back in when I was surprised to see the gear lever pop back to "Park". Tried several times with the same result so realized what the warning was all about (no reverse). Anyway, went up the road and turned around then pulled into my drive and called BMW roadside assist. As the tow truck was going to be 60 mins, went back to the car, started it and tried "reverse" - it worked just fine. Popped it into "park" then "rev" then "d" then "r" and no problems. So backed out of the drive and backed into my garage. Decided to cancel the truck and let the car sit for a day. Phoned the dealer on Mon and took it in (no problems at all). They checked it out and agreed there had been a problem with clutch no. 1 (which handles R, 1, 3, 5 & 7). They reprogrammed the DCT and said I probably would never see the problem again.
Well, last Sunday on the way back from shopping (several miles from home) I see the alert again. Keep driving and after coming to a stop light and taking off, I realize the car is going into D2 then D4 then D6. So, it appears clutch no. 1 is dead. Get home, turn off the engine, wait 15 seconds then restart the car and everything works just fine! So I make an appointment for Friday (tomorrow). Last night I am at the hockey game and the drive over is uneventful. Then I decide to back into a parking spot and the same problem - no "reverse". Put it into "d" and no luck either! So, I turn off the car, let it sit 15 seconds, restart and everything is normal!
Certainly sounds like electronics to me. Would be interested to hear if anyone has experienced anything like this.
Good luck with the problem - if I were you, I would make a video or something for proof, and have the dealer take a closer look. "You will probably never see the problem again" - now that does not seem like an answer that should put you at ease. I would have liked to know what the exact problem was - was it mechanical or electrical...
Hard to live with a car that you can't completely trust...
DCT issues ..
Tks - when I take the car in tomorrow I will ask a lot more questions. I do suspect it is electronics but we shall see ..

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Basic Care (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/basic-care/)
- - Not Grooming Certain Breeds (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/basic-care/195960-not-grooming-certain-breeds.html)
Not Grooming Certain Breeds
My friend who's a groomer was telling that she won't take certain breeds because she doesn't like them. Do any groomers up here have this policy or if you were a groomer would you have it? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the policy because it's her shop, I just don't quite understand why someone would be a dog groomer if they had a hangup with certain breeds of dogs.
The groomer who works at the vet office with me only works there Tues, Wed, and Friday. On Mon and Thurs, she works at a shop. At the office she has to take any breed simply because we're a vet. But when she works at the shop she refuses:
Chow Mixes
Bichon Frise
She has her reservations not because she hates the breeds, but because 9 out of 10 dogs that come in are insane. They bite, spazz out, scream when you touch their feet, etc. So she just no longer deals with them if she's at the shop.
If I was a dog groomer, and I was afraid of a specific dog breed, like an Akita or a Cane Corso, it would be much better for me to not accept them, then to try and work on them and possibly have a serious accident. I mean, I think we have all seen people try to bravely pet our dogs when they are scared of them. They offer a hand and then jerk it back because they are scared. And the dog is a lot more likely to bite a fearful person.
And, if I was a dog groomer for a number of years, but do not have the proper equipment to lift large dogs, 200 pound dogs, I think I would probably put a restriction on dogs above a certain weight. Groomers, especially if they have their own shop, may not have decent health insurance, and getting a serious injury might cause you to lose time and clients as well as pain and suffering. So I can understand it.
I take most dogs under 50 pounds and a few reasonably well behaved larger dogs, but nothing larger than 90 pounds. I work by myself and I'm not getting any younger!
And yes, I do have breed bias. I don't take chows and take very few lhasas. Cocker Spaniels aren't my favorites. If every appointment is a "reclamation project" and the owner doesn't want to schedule more regularly or do maintenance at home then I charge a lot. I don't have to give an appointment to everyone who wants one....that's one of the perks of being self-employed! :D

I guess I have a lot of rules after grooming for over 35 years. ;)
I'm so swamped that I haven't taken any new clients in well over 6 months. But when I do take new dogs again, there'll be no bichons or cockers booked. I've about had it with those two breeds. Of course, my attitude might have something to do with every bichon and cocker that I groom is at least 13 years old. Some days I feel like I'm a geriatric specialist.
And no more "doodles".
No more big dogs period. When the existing ones die off, then I'm just doing small dogs. Right now I'm down to one Boxer, one Standard Poodle, 2 big labradoodles.
And I don't do biting dogs. I'll muzzle a snarky schnauzer over toenails, but that's it.
If I had my way, apparently I'd only be doing super easy dogs that were never matted. And no fat dogs.
Okay, I'll stop. :D
I can't stand Bouviers and Old English Sheepdogs. Nasty temperaments with owners who usually don't care for them properly. Don't cry because I have to shave the extremely matted coat of your OES and tell me how much you hate him shaved...the dog has maggots lady due to gross neglect. Oh your bouvier has been kicked out of 6 groom shops for biting and you can't brush him or he bites you? Yeah guess what, I'm not interested either.
I will take on certain breeds depending on the owner attitude but its case by case. Standard poodles, afghans, and any type of large poodle mix (I refuse to give mutts stupid, cutesy names like they are a breed) get accepted with restrictions and rules. You want it long, I either see it every other week or you brush it religiously. I will only demat "areas", not entire dogs. Its cruel to the dogs and not their fault. If they don't brush the dog and its one giant mat ball, they can cry all they want, its getting shaved. Maybe next time they'll remember how traumatized they were seeing the naked dog and they will brush it regularly. Don't like it, find another groomer.
Strangely enough, I have always had a knack with chows and cats. Other groomers happily send them to me.
hehehehe I talked to a new client on the phone yesterday and she got a little miffed that when she said her dog was a "shorkie" I was thinkng Schnauzer x Yorkie. No, it's a shih tzu x yorkie, YUCK.
Guess that's better than my response the last time someone called about getting their DORKIE groomed. Yes really.....you can use your imagination on that one.
I've never understood why people get high maintanence breeds of dogs,but don't want to keep up with the in between maintanence. This is a major complaint with my friend who has several Standard Poodles who come in always matted,but the owners don't want them shaved because the long coat 'looks pretty and they always complain about the higher price.
I don't groom Chows or wolfdogs. Chows are reliable biters, and I saw enough of them when I worked in the veterinary hosptial to know I don't ever want to lay a hand on one.
I'm sure there are exceptions, there must be nice Chows out there. Every single Chow owner I talk to say THEIR dog is the exception, but I'm not falling for it. :)
I've had fairly good luck with Chow crosses, so I won't automatically turn them away. They are accepted on a case-by-case basis.
With wolfdogs, there is no approved rabies vaccine for them. So if I am bitten by a wolfdog, I must legally proceed as though the dog were not vaccinated. That means the dog has to be quarantined and I have to go through rabies prophylaxis, if what I hear is correct. I just don't ever want to deal with something like that if I can avoid it.
Um, freestep the rabies thing for wolfdogs is just politics. It works. Now that said, if you want to be technically correct, the only dog the vaccine is approve for is a a Beagle. That's right, the vaccine was tested on 7 beagles. IF I were to be working with dogs full time, I would get the pre exposure rabies vaccine for humans. It's 3 shots, and not that inexpensive, but it's better than post exposure.

Challenger Point Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Route Climbed: East Ridge and traverse to Challenger
Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2003
|Kit is an impressive mountain. Got to love that rock! Made that surprising traverse over from Columbia. Looks like suicide but stays at class 3 somehow. Enjoyed myself immensely and did not get rained on until down by Willow Lake. Whoo hoo!
|Posted Aug 8, 2003 1:46 am
|Route Climbed: Colony Lakes via Bear's Playground Date Climbed: July 7 1999
|Visibility zero for the entire traverse. Returned back and over to Humboldt
|Posted Oct 5, 2002 9:11 pm
|Route Climbed: from upper south colony lake Date Climbed: july 26, 2002
|Started at 2:50 in the morning, climbed Humbolt, traversed the ridge to Bear's playground, climbed the centennial 13er and then Kit Carson. Long day but excellent climb. One day will add the Crestones and do 5 peaks in one day.
|Posted Aug 15, 2002 8:59 pm
|Kit Carson
|Route Climbed: Outward Bound Coulier (Willow Lake) Date Climbed: April 2002
|The Outward Bound Coulier is located just south of the main Kit Carson summit on the east side of the mountain. This wide coulier ascends between Kit & Kat Carson and when in good condition is a great climb, and probably one of the best snow climbs on Kit Carson Peak. We summited Kat Carson then went on to summit Kit Carson and finally concluded on Challenger Point. Then an icy but nice 2000 foot glaciade was in order off of the north slopes of Challenger Point. This was my second summit on both Kit Carson and Challenger Point.

|Matt Mahoney
|Route Climbed: Willow Creek - Challenger Date Climbed: Aug. 11 2001
|Beautiful weather. Stayed on the summit a couple of hours just enjoying it. Met some other climbers and we took a wrong turn into the Spanish Creek basin on the descent and had to climb back up, but it was fun.
|Posted May 17, 2002 4:22 pm
|Route Climbed: via Challenger Point Date Climbed: July 2001
|Nice climb. Final ridge to Challenger Point exposed but fun. Not too bad from Challenger over to summit of Kit thanks to the convenient ledge on the South of Kit Carson. Camped previous night at one of the lakes to the west.
|Posted Apr 30, 2002 5:05 pm
|Route Climbed: South Colony Lakes
|I climbed Kit Carson and Challanger Point from the upper Colony Lake. It was a long but nice hike with a exciting down climb from Kat Carson!
|Posted Oct 8, 2001 3:35 pm
|Route Climbed: Spanish Basin (south) Date Climbed: 8/23/01
|The route I took to the summit is rather exoitic, but quite beautiful. It begins in private land and crosses a ridge of Challenger to the Spanish basin, beneath the Prow of Kit Carson and up from the South.
From the Kit Carson Summit my friend Paul and I went to the Challenger Summit and downclimbed the face of Challenger (5.4) and rejoined our ascent route.
A long day of 15+ miles and 2 summits.

Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (TSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) announced that Mentor's design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) tools have been incorporated into TSMC Reference Flow 8.0. The new Reference Flow 8.0 features Mentor tools for critical area analysis and reduction, chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) analysis and layer planarity control using smart fill algorithms, litho-friendly design, process variability aware analysis, and DFT flows based on Mentor Graphics Calibre(R) and TestKompress(R) solutions. Other Reference Flow 8.0 advances include statistical timing analysis for intra-die variation, automated DFM hot-spot fixing and new dynamic low-power design methodologies.
"Mentor is pleased to have the opportunity to again demonstrate the production worthiness of our DFM and DFT solutions at the world's premier dedicated semiconductor foundry," said Joe Sawicki, vice president and general manager, Design to Silicon Division, Mentor Graphics. "Our continued collaboration with TSMC will help designers address the challenges of nanometer semiconductor design and manufacturing."
"We believe that Mentor Graphics' DFM tools will further expand the confidence of designers who have been using Calibre for physical verification signoff," said Kuo Wu, deputy director of design services marketing at TSMC. "Mentor Graphics DFM tools are interoperable with the design tools in Reference Flow 8.0, enabling them to fit easily into our customers' flows."
About the Mentor Graphics DFM Platform
Calibre LFD(TM) (Litho-Friendly Design) accurately models the impact of lithographic processes on "as-drawn" layout data to determine the actual "as-built" dimensions of fabricated gates and metal interconnects. Calibre LFD identifies layout "hot spots," structures with a higher probability of failing due to litho process variations, and grades them to determine which have the highest potential for yield improvement. Integration with Sierra Design Automation's Olympus-SOC(TM) design tools enables feed-forward of Calibre LFD results to give designers guidance on recommended layout improvements, and to enable revalidation of correct timing after modifications.
Calibre YieldAnalyzer performs critical area analysis (CAA) on all base and interconnect layers to identify areas of a layout with excess vulnerability to random particle defects, such as shorts and opens, due to close spacing of layout features. YieldAnalyzer provides guidance to help the designer quickly locate hot spots and determine what layout changes will result in the greatest yield improvement. This data is forward annotated to P&R tools like Sierra Olympus-SOC automatically reducing the critical area while ensuring that correct timing is preserved. Calibre YieldEnhancer(TM) automatically specifies a variety of interconnect and base layer enhancements such as via doubling, via enclosure expansion and general edge moving to improve yield. Modifications are fully back annotated to GDSII, OASIS(TM), LEF/DEF, OpenAccess(TM) and Milky Way(TM) design databases.
The Calibre CMP solution is integrated with TSMC's Vertical CMP (VCMP) simulator, enabling the designer to model the CMP process and automatically add fill to the layout based on layout density, gradient and magnitude assessments. This intelligent "model-based fill" approach provides optimum planarity improvement to reduce bridging due to dishing and thickness variations, while minimizing added parasitic capacitance and its impact on timing. Calibre extraction tools, xRC and xL, also integrate with VCMP to create a comprehensive 3D circuit model with device and interconnect parameters that more closely match silicon results. The results can drive extremely accurate simulations using Mentor's ADiT(TM) or other leading circuit simulators supported by Calibre's back annotation facilities.
DFT capabilities based on Mentor Graphics TestKompress, MBISTArchitect(TM), and YieldAssist(TM) products, which have been part of TSMC's reference flow since version 6, continue to include both logic and memory testing. New facilities in Reference Flow 8.0 include power reporting during ATPG (automatic test program generation) for addressing test-specific power issues, and timing-aware ATPG features for targeting small delay defects.

Gday guys i think i got a good colour for those ppl trying to get their ESB gauntlet colour right. Im not sure if RS has touched on this subject.....so bear with me.
As i have searched all the way through the thread so far i had trouble finiding reference to the right colour used then i came across mention of Alpine green.... the colour looks great but i still wasnt satified plus i couldnt get it here in OZ so I used a acrylic paint called JO Sonja's Artists gouache colour JADE. Anyway i added a certain amout of black and so on and this is how they turned out after weathering etc.
Anyway hope this helps might not be the exact colour but if you look at most photos its pretty close.
NOTICE how much the colour changes in the various settings and light conditions......
The weathering was a light black was then just scratched off some gren paint to reveal the chome under coat then used black pastel to add around the scratches and finished it off with a clear coat so it wouldnt rub off!
PS the gauntlets arent finished just waiting for the darts etc.

It is difficult discussing the Bush invasion of Iraq without each day encountering another example of how it transformed the lives of Iraqis in disastrous ways. Stories are emerging that hundreds of children, some as young as nine, are being held under appalling conditions in Baghdad's prisons, sleeping in sweltering temperatures in sweltering cells without access to even fans, no daly access to showers and subject to sexual abuse by guars and fellow prisoners. A sixteen year old boy who recently got out of one such prison noted: "the electricity comes from a generator and it's only switched on during the two hour weekly session when visitors come in, and for two or three hours in the evening. We are convinced the guards sell the generator fuel on the black market." Families of children must pay bribes in order to talk to them on the phone and the entire teaching staff resigned in November due to poor pay.
Many Sunni boys charge they have been arrested due to their religious belief rather than for any crime. Raad Jamal, seventeen, said his sister was told by an American officer during a raid: "tell your brother to confess he is with al-Qaida so we can send him to Camp Bucca(US prison) or else we'll hand him to the Iraqis and they will torture him."
A UN Assistance Mission in Iraq visited Baghad prisons and reported examples of sexual abuse of children. They found 400 inmates in a prison designed for 200. There is sufficient evidence of the presence of a disproportionate number of Sunni youth in these prisons. The fruits of the American invasion have blossomed into brutality and torture of children.

Hello all,
Just wanted to say hello. Just registered yesterday but have lurked the site on and off for a while. Interested in starting an ESB Boba Fett helmet. Was really inspired by Lewis-White FX youtube tutorial series on painting a helmet. Currently looking at airbrushes so I can get started on my winter project. Any help and direction would be much appreciated. I already sent a message to ASOK about getting a helmet since I've heard he's the guy to go to on that.
Well that's it for now! Just wanted to say a little about myself and what I'm interested in doing. Hope to learn a lot about the process and continue further in the hobby.

Differential operators
I was trying to write a small piece of code to play with computing
commutators of vector fields. I wanted something like
vector = x D[#, x] + y D[#, y] &;
etc. Unfortunately I noticed the following annoying behavior.
Mathematica 2.2 for Solaris

-- Open Look graphics initialized --
In[1]:= vector = D[#, x] &
Out[1]= D[#1, x] &
In[2]:= Simplify[vector]
Out[2]= 0 &
In[3]:= vector = Dt[#, x] &
Out[3]= Dt[#1, x] &
In[4]:= Simplify[vector]
Out[4]= 0 &
I know that I could write my own derivative operator but it would be nice
to use the built in version. Suggestions? Notice that vector does work
In[5]:= vector

Buenos Aires - River Surfing
Testing the WARP F2012
NorthSails Teamrider Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (ARG-3) sailing the new WARP F2012 on Rio de la PLata, Buenos Aires and proves right our R&D Team: little changes, strong effect!
"...loving the summer and the windy afternoons here in the river back home in Buenos Aires. Most of all, loving to be on the water with my new sails and boards, and tunning with my friends..."
..states Gonzalo as he blasts down the river on the 9,4 WARP F2012 and a FALCON 140.
"So far i am really surprised on the performance of the 9.4. The sail has unreal belly and is super balanced, the low end was improved a lot without compromising the high end. Still the 7.8 is to me the best sail, it has a huge range and very good speed on both ends of the range. I just love this size, it goes great on my 113 Falcon. in general I think that the improvements are considerable. The feel is very compact, stable and balanced. The rotation is unreal this year."

Just in case: Southern Preppers Convention coming to the Oxford Civic Center
When asked if she and her family are preppers, Darlene Harcrow pauses but only for a moment, as if to catch her breath.
No. Well, yes, she says, laughing. I mean we do prepare. But prepper makes me think of those weirdos you see on TV getting ready for the end of the world. We dont do that, but we want to be ready just in case.
Preppers are those preparing for the collapse of civilization, either manmade or by natural disaster, by stockpiling vast stores of supplies everything from freeze-dried food and bottled water to weapons.
But the term, made popular by the top-rated National Geography Channel reality show Doomsday Preppers, has given preppers a bad name, conjuring up images of gas mask-wearing zealots with rifles slung over their shoulder hunkered down in secret bunkers waiting for the apocalypse.
Harcrow wants to make it clear, shes not one of those crazy preppers. Her family doesnt even have a bunker, but she and her large extended family have talked about an alternative security option maybe something underground.
If it gets bad, people will do whatever it takes to survive, she said. So wed need a place to go. But its just talk. Were not going full-on weird. Were normal, everyday people who want to be prepared.
Plus, theres safety in numbers.
Those of the same mind as Harcrow will converge on the Oxford Civic Center next weekend for the Southern Preppers Convention and Green Living Expo. The free event will feature vendors, giveaways including a years supply of food and guest speakers addressing every facet of the prepper lifestyle and environmental awareness.

Black Blade: "Doomsday Preppers" is a joke. It is entirely staged and designed to make preppers/survivalists look crazy. It's not about the "end of the world" but about preparedness and self sufficiency as well as living off-grid for some.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Oct 20, 2006.
It's one of the nicest live action armpit shots I have seen
roscoe, I knew you would be able to appreciate the finer points :winner_first_h4h: !! What the photographer actually said about it was: "It was a pregame exhibition. Darko actually jumped over the Raptor, coming in on an angled trajectory, and is about to demonstrate his amazing reach by dunking the ball from the side of the FT alley while his mommentum is moving him away from the basket. It was really breath taking when I took that picture. So much more impressive than the FT line dunks of folklore". Anyway, I thought it was a neat shot!!
So... did he actually make the basket?
In addition to those above, I suggest a couple Darko statistics sure to be of interest during the season: Flip engendered twitch/ 40 min = 3,167 Dumars' "dat durned it"*/ 40 min = 723 *In deference to the pale circumlocutions of Richard Prior.
linwood, the only things I know about it are the statement of the photographer. He said that "he was about to demonstrate his . . . .". From that, I would assume he did, but I just liked it because it is a good shot. Gee, you never doubted that he made it, did you !!
Of course I never doubted. It's just that, when you hear a great story, and you know it's going to have a happy ending, you still want to hear it!
linwood, I know, I like happy endings, too. I know this is way off point but in movies, even though they are pure fiction, why do some of them have to have a sudden, unhappy, downright mean and nasty ending? I loved a couple of Kevin Costner's movies right up until the end and then hated them. 'Tin Cup' and the one about the Indians come to mind. And just this past week, we finally rented 'Pay It Forward' and it was a great feel good movie, pure fiction, but right at the end they had to stretch to give it a mean ending. My wife and I just sat there and said, "why did they have to do that?" There are not so many romantics these days, it seems.
Count me as one of the romantics. Through and through, my friend.
Although we have a very small sample size so far, I thought I would show how Darko is mearuring up so far. Keep in mind that he has not yet had a game that has been considered good or that anyone has talked about. Just average stuff from the guy. Actual/40 minutes (benchmark) Points- 19 (16) passing Rebs- 11 (12) barely failing Assists- 2.1 (1.75) passing Steals- .70 (.75) barely failing Blocks- 2.8 (2.25) passing So far, he is getting most of his on-court time with Howard on the bench. One would think that would hurt his assist #'s and help his rebounding numbers. I'll re-calculate after he gives us more data. I haven't checked, but JMax's 40 minutes stats must look great so far.
A shame his foul problems aren't weighted.
I'm really hoping the Darko and the Magic have a bad year, so we will get a good pick.
as an fyi. per 40 minutes. this is through a whopping 3 games darko / j-max: 18.9 / 16.8 points 11.2 / 7.4 rebounds 2.1 / 0.0 assists 2.8 / 4.2 blocks 0.7 / 1.1 steals
Interesting. Looks like Jam-X is outblocking the Serbian Swat Machine. Does anyone know what their per 40 minute salary comparison looks like per 40?
Darko was averaging 16.5 minutes in his first two games and had almost 25 tonight. So I added it up and divided by 3 to get 19.3 minutes per game for the Serbian Gangsta. Darko Minutes: 19.3 per game Annual Salary: $5,218,627 (per StoryTeller's Salaries) Salary prorated to 40 MPG: $10,815,807 Brahma Minutes: 12.7 per game Annual Salary: $973,440 (per StoryTeller's Salaries) Salary prorated to 40 MPG: $3,065,952
Here's a stat for you: Thru 3 games Ben Wallace Free Throw Pct. 6/9 = .625 Darko Free Throw Pct. 5/13 = .385 Ben has made more free throws with less attempts. How funny is that? lol.
here's a stat for you. through 2 games. darko is undefeated against ben. 2 - 0. darko pretty much owns ben and whatever team he plays for. darko / ben per 40 minutes head to head. 15 / 4 pts 8 / 6.7rebs 2 / 1.3 assists 0 /1.3 steals 2 / .67 blocks don't let the numbers fool you darko is still a square peg getting stuck into a round hole. he's doing ok but those numbers will explode in the right situation. b. hill is using him all wrong. he's got darko in the post only, darko hasn't shot a jumpshot all season. he won't play darko and d. howard at the same time so teams can easily focus on either one.
I haven't seen any Magic games, but the notion of a high/low post offense with Darko and Howard at the same time does seem one of the more obvious things.
You are hilarious. When Ben put up that line Darko didn't even play the majority of the game. Try again. Ben has had superior games against defenders far more accredited than Darko. Darko has yet to have a great game this season. If you wipe out the Atlanta game from two years back, he has nothing. He's mediocre. Average. A good sub at best. He's shown little less. Ben is an all-star and a contributing member to a championship team. No comparison. Nothing to see here folks. This ones over before the bell rings. Keep it movin'.
Ben did fill up the stat sheet last night in a big way. 6 points, 4 assists, 3 steals, 5 blocks, and 1 TO. But he did play for 40 minutes, so there can be no extrapolating.
you missed the point. i wasn't comparing thier overall careers. i was comparing thier head to head matchups. darko hasn't had as many 30 minute games as ben has to have good games. when his minutes increase his numbers will increase. i don't ever recall ben having a game close to darko's atlanta game. ben is one dimensional and darko can be dominant on both ends of the court. well it's not to b. hill. he's busy trying to make darko earn it and he'll be sad when darko is gone next year. darko's passing ability will only increase d. howards effectiveness. they will make each other better.

text: I have always changed coaches because the coaches have usually moved on from coaching or moved to another rink. Have never had to leave a coach because things were unpleasant or didn't get on with them. In fact one coach (ice dance) I've had for 16 years, just because I really enjoy learning from her and am still learning. I am lucky because I also consider her a good friend after all this time. But interested to know why people have left coaches. Were they were teaching you wrong technique? You felt like you were getting ripped off? You just couldn't get on with them? Or they could only teach to a certain level and to develop you had to move on? Or did the coach drop you as a student? Thought this would make a good discussion.
