From Russia with Love
February 26, 2012
The trip from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, took three weeks, and I would say that I learned a few things. Topping the list of things I learned is: Don't accidentally leave your debit card at Denver International Airport. That's not the best way to start the trip. The second thing I learned is: If you're going to leave your debit card at DIA, make sure that you know the PIN to your credit cards. Citibank is quick to remind you that no, they cannot email you or text you your PIN, regardless of the fact that you're in Russia and have no cash. Having learned those two lessons, the journey through Russia into Mongolia is unforgettable.
The train ride began in St. Petersburg, where you could stay for a long time and never get bored. I was there for three days and found endless little restaurants, historical sites and even shops that seemed to be hidden in basements, but that had a lot of character.
For me, St. Petersburg was colorful, mysterious and elegant. Moscow was a little different. I arrived in Moscow on an overnight train, ready to be wowed. Like many capital cities, Moscow is fast-paced and formal. I found the Kremlin and its surroundings to be interesting, and the Lenin Mausoleum to be strange; but if there is a place to get robbed, Moscow is it, so I didn't stay there very long. I left Moscow and started the 100-hour journey across Russia to Lake Baikal.
There are faster and cheaper ways to get across Russia, but going on the Trans-Siberian Railway seemed too cool to resist. It is four days and five time zones of Russian debauchery, intermingled with stops at stations where you can buy vodka, beer, food and stuffed animals. I enjoyed the randomness of it all.
Because it was the tail end of the tourist season, the train cabins were not filled with many backpackers. Most of the travelers were locals traveling between Siberian towns and cities, not many of whom were interested in speaking with a foreigner. I was admittedly surprised at how few people I found who spoke English, and I regretted not having spent more time trying to learn Russian before the trip. The train ride gave me time to observe and reflect, and wonder about when I might take my next shower.
They call Irkutsk the Paris of Siberia and I never figured out why. But, that is where you get off to visit the famous Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water lake in the world. This humongous lake is surrounded by pine forests and mountainous terrain, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking and boating. I did a few hikes, but mostly took in the place by taking photos. Every single little house seemed to be decorated with intricate wood carvings and details, and no two were the same.
I eventually found out that the architectural style is typical of the Buryat culture that exists in this part of Russia. Other Lake Baikal delights included eating omul, a delicious whitefish that you find everywhere around the lake. As you get closer to Mongolia, the influence of Buddhism becomes stronger, and monasteries begin to pop up on the horizon. That is, the ones that weren't destroyed during the communist era.
My time in Russia ended in Ulan-Ude, a charming small city close to Mongolia. From there, I took a bus to Ulaanbaatar that took 12 hours, but felt like 60. Mongolia is too awesome to write about in one paragraph, or to see in one week. I managed to visit the vibrant and energetic capital city of Ulaanbaatar, as well as to visit the nearby Khustai National Park. For me, what makes Mongolia so endearing is that 50 percent of the population are nomads living in traditional yurts in the countryside. I was lucky enough to visit one and stay in one, and loved that some are equipped with photovoltaic panels and satellite dishes, so you can still have electricity – and television! I even ate mutton.
On the last day of the three-week adventure, I bought myself a Mongolian cashmere scarf, which I've worn practically every day since I've returned, and which reminds me of how lucky I was to visit that part of the world.

New Orleans Saints beat writer Mark Triplett in his ESPN blog feels running back Mark Ingram will remain third in the pecking order behind RBs Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas despite the former Alabama runner's breakout game. Ingram rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. He also added two receptions for 15 yards. This 100-yard game was Ingram's first as a professional.
Fantasy Analysis:
Dallas should be ashamed of themselves for allowing Ingram to run so well. Thomas led the team with 17 carries but finished with fewer rushing yards (87) than Ingram. The 23-year-old returned in Week 9 after not playing since Week 2. With his healthy finally back, Ingram's fresh legs proved to be a difference maker. His long run of 34 yards was the second-longest of his career. Ingram currently ranks just outside the Top 100 at his position in fantasy scoring so don't overextend to add him to your roster by expecting him to repeat those numbers through the second half of the 2013 season.

No, he was talking about sadhana practice daily commitments! I frankly do not see why this is hard to understand. This was also teaching of Kunzang Dechen Lingpa.
I see. I know you have said this for years I just don't recall hearing ChNN or KDL ever saying this, at teachings I was at. Is this only for daily practice commitments, but not for instance, for 14 root tantric samayas? Or, for that matter, samayas such as the yogi vow which is Dzogchen related you have to keep your hair natural, and uncut?

This thread is being started for the 2nd. bulk order of the accurate "Tackle Twill" Vest material.
The first order went well and at this time most have gotten their material from the first run.
Here is how it works I need to order a minimum of 25 yards to place the order.Once the 25 yards is reached I can order more in 5 yard increments.
The run will remain open until at least the minimum of 25 yards is reached and like last time maybe a few days more to see if anyone else wants to jump on.
The price is 7.50 a yard and 8.00 shipping.My paypal is:
Now please read this when making your payment please mark payment as
and please add your TDH name and
yardage ordered.
Also remember I wont order until the minimum quantity is met so if you pay right away it still may be a week or a month before there are enough people before I can order.
Also it takes approx. 2yrds to make a medium vest...I would order 1 yard over for each size up.Only because we cant order half yards.For neckseals order 1 yard up as well. They dont take a full yard to do but again cant order half yard unfortunately.
Any question please post here.I wonjt speak for Batninja but im sure he would do some vests as can I i can also do the neckseals and ankle spats etc.
Not to be a pain but if you want to order a vest or neckseal please make a seperate payment.

Vote for Becoming an Archaeologist: a guide to professionalpathways—CA 260 by Joe Flatman!
Dec 02, 2011 Archaeology Awards 2012 17
This year's winner of Book of the Year 2012 is Becoming an Archaeologist: a guide to professional pathways by Joe Flatman, as reviewed in issue 260 of Current Archaeology.
Joe Flatman
This free and frank discussion of life as an archaeologist in the UK, USA, and Australia pulls no punches. Some of Flatman's assessments of typical pay and working conditions may seem pessimistic, but his enthusiasm for the discipline shines through. This comprehensive volume is a treasure trove of advice for anyone aspiring to enter the field.
On receiving the award, Joe Flatman said:
'Writing a book that the readers of Current Archaeology like so much is really pleasing. If you can't create something that appeals to your readers — who represent all ages and all kinds of people — then what is the point of writing at all?'
This year has brought many excellent new books through our door, but the following titles are those we feel deserve special recognition, and were also nominated in this category.
Barry Cunliffe/John Koch
It was long thought that Celtic-speaking peoples first appeared in west-central Europe in the 5th or 6th century BC, but this daring volume argues a radically different case. In a move sure to inspire lively debate, Koch and Cunliffe suggest proto-Celtic in fact arose among Bronze Age traders with Eastern Mediterranean contacts and spread from Iberia to Orkney as a commercial lingua franca.
Jim Leary/David Field
This accessibly-written book explores one of the most enigmatic monuments of the late Neolithic. Supported by a wealth of plans and diagrams, Field and Leary take their readers through the mound's multiple stages of construction, as well as the centuries of investigations which pulled it apart again, ultimately leading to the top collapsing in 2002.
Niall Sharples
Bridging the gap between the late Bronze and Iron Ages for the first time, Sharples presents an alternative account of later prehistoric society. This book elegantly synthesises previous scholarship on the subject and sets an ambitious new agenda for the study of this period.
David Breeze
The Roman Empire's frontiers span three continents, covering 4800 miles across 20 modern countries. Today their walls stand as a physical reminder of both Rome's expansive ambitions and the ultimate limitations of these. Breeze charts the development of these fortifications, considering whether they were intended as physical barriers or merely reflective of the Romans' love of spectacular architecture.

Excellent and very readable piece of work
Vote for the book, the archaeologist, the excavation and the research that YOU think is best. 🙂
The story of Silbury Hill is a very interesting must read….Best one I have read for ages.
I am voting for The story of Silbury Hill
CA252 because the content including images and illustrations are spectacular
It is also printed very well. I also have been lucky that I have pictures of me inside the Hill.
Best Wishes
The Story of Silbury Hill definitely gets my vote.
This is an excellent, knowledgeable and well-written book on a fascinating subject – recommended!
Great interesting book, well done.
Social Relations in Later Prehistory: Wessex in the First Millennium BC — Niall Sharples
I particularly enjoyed the insights into the Bronze Age
Joe Flatman's book, Becoming an Archaeologist,gets my vote hands down. Having had a book such as this one in my early years would have made the path shorter and much clearer.
I am slightly biased as the author's father, but I read it critically and was especially impressed with the first chapter on what archaeology is.
I am voting for Pathways in Archaeology by Joe Flatman
Celtic from the West
Celtic From The West–by Cunliffe and Koch
Here is certainly the most convincing research on this fascinating subject. Previous ideas of the source of our Celtic languages have been re-examined and shown to be inadequate. It is set out logically and written clearly .
This revolutionary publication is a winner.
The Frontiers of Imperial Rome — CA 261 !!! has my vote
Some excellent choices here! Best of luck to all candidates. Read these books and learn something!
Social Relations in Later Prehistory: Wessex in the first millennium BC by Niall Sharples gets my vote, nice illustrations too.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Walter, Nov 28, 2011.
Don't forget VslavKrav.
Since only teams under the salary cap are allowed to bid on amnestied players, it creates a very shallow bidders market. Seems like a previously hidden benefit to being under the cap... i.e. you get to pick up players like Brand for $1.6M/year.
And historically you'd never ever consider that Dallas would be one of those teams...
Looks like the Clippers are about to reunite Chauncey and Darko.
Yeah the Clips signed Grant Hill earlier today and they are looking at adding Darko too as the back up center to DJ Starters CP3 Billups (when ready) Butler Griffin DeAndre Bench Bledsoe Crawford GHill Lamar Kadashian Darko possible or Ryan Hollins Now all they need is a new coach and they challenge the Lakers for the best record in the Staples Center next season... Lakers signed Jamison and are still trying to get Dhoward
How injured is Griffin?
I haven't heard anything either. I think this is it for the Pistons this year. Not sure if I'm ok with Knight, Stuckey, Bynum and English. But I'm ok with them for now. Maybe they will really come together this year.
He will be ready before the season starts.....the question is will be be as athletic?
As linwood stated, the Pistons are likely done. The only thing that we might see is Joe making an attempt to ship-out a few of the extra SFs that he has for some draft picks. He won't be signing any FAs. Joe actually has some ability to make some deals for the first time in a while. Prince, Maxiel, Stuckey, Bynum, Jerebko and Daye are all somewhat tradeable if the right deal came along. We are stuck with Bucket of Turd.
After seeing the Gordon trade go through, anything is possible.
I don't think that is the GM, I think it is the owner who agrees to pay them and the corresponding penalties.
The Clippers were able to sign GHill, Lamar KarOdom and Jamal Crawford without a GM as Vinny Del Negro handled it...now if only Vinny can find/sign them a new coach
This guy might end up with a ring for each finger. How about them apples, Melo?
It has been crickets. Can't we help send Howard to the Lakers by unloading Charlie V. ?? All these other teams are wheeling and dealing and the Pistons are not even rumored to be in on any deals.
Would we be dumping a salary or getting a player or draft pick out of it?
In any such deal, Orlando is the one that'll be looking for all the draft picks & salary dumps. The only way I see us getting involved in a big blockbuster like that AND dump PoT is if we: - send 1st rounders Orlando's way - and/or take back a worse contract like Hedo I'd much rather sit out that train wreck. Lakers will be the only winners in that sort of trade.
Me thinks that whooshing sound you hear is the Rockets getting hosed by the Knicks. The Rockets bought into this Lin hype and the Knicks saying they would match their offer up to a billion dollars. Didn't happen.
Would be interesting if Darko went to the Heat and they had the #1, 2, 4, and 5 draft picks from 2003 on the same roster.
Hmmm... Better than the dream team?
Separate names with a comma.

A Turkish army of 10,000 soldiers backed by jet planes swooping over the area and conducting bombing attacks is moving further into Iraq in pursuit of Kurdish rebels. The Turkish General Staff insists the operation is one of short range and its forces "will return home in the shortest time possible after its goals have been achieved." Prime Minister Erdogan made his first statement and emphasized "the target of the cross-border attack is the terrorist organization, not the Iraqis." He also noted the United States has been cooperating with the operation by providing important intelligence information. The official Turkish estimate is that its forces have gone about 10 kilometers although CNN claims they are at least 20-25 kilometers into Iraqi territory. CNN showed film of Turkish trucks carrying soldiers moving at a rapid rate to support its assertion.
Massoud Barzani, head of the Kurdish area of Iraq, visited the site where Turkish troops are now fighting, but refused to do anything like ordering Kurdish peshmerge forces to respond to the invasion. Apparently, the Kurdish government will watch and ponder hoping Turk troops will quickly return.
The invasion of Iraq– that is what is happening– came during a relatively quiet time on the Turkish-Kurdistan border region. There have not been any recent examples of Kurd rebels attacking Turkish troops. Erdogan's government continues insisting there are short-term goals to be achieved. What if the goals are not achieved? What if Turkish forces find themselves confronted by guerrlla forces which will not come out and fight, but prefer clandestine operations? Will Turkish soldiers remain? In the meantime, has anyone asked permission of the Iraq government for such warlike actions on its territory?

Meet the new assistant to the Alliance President
September 7, 2012
Today's post was written by Julie Klein, the Alliance's new assistant to Alliance President and CEO Nan Roman.
I lived in the Philly suburbs in Pennsylvania for my entire life (until now!), and recently graduated from Muhlenberg College with degrees in Psychology and Political Science. My passion for ending homelessness was sparked on a poverty-focused advocacy trip to DC, and I have since dedicated myself to the cause. Academically, I researched housing policies and completed a senior thesis on perceptions of homelessness.
In the Allentown, Pennsylvania community, I interned at the Sixth Street Shelter where I later began a tutoring program for adult residents. I am very excited about this opportunity to serve as the assistant to the Alliance's President, Nan Roman, as well as help out with policy outreach through working on the Alliance's strategic advocacy campaigns!
I am very grateful to be working with a team that has such a vast wealth of knowledge about the issue of homelessness, and am excited to begin working with other advocates as well! In my free time, I enjoy ethnic food, theater, and any activity involving good conversations with people.
So far, I am really enjoying living in DC, (particularly all of the events and how accessible everything is here)! I look forward to further exploring all that my new home, the capital city, has to offer!

Musicians 'should aim high'
People starting out on a musical instrument should be as ambitious as possible about what success they can have because they never know where they might end up.
This is the view of Rolling Stones electric guitar player Ronnie Wood, who told the Daily Mail that setting your sights high can be the starting point for some incredible achievements.
He explained that he had extremely humble beginnings in the world of music before going on to be a part of one of the world's most famous bands and having some incredible experiences along the way.
"I played washboard in my brother's skiffle band when I was nine and ended up working with legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan," said the guitarist.
Earlier this year, classic Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street went to number one in the UK album charts after being reissued 38 years after its original release.

text: Hello everyone, I am currently out in the garage working on this project finishing up the wiring for the AEM FIC controller and my gauges. I will have a ton of pictures posted by tonight, but I just wanted to get the word out about the build! It is going to be a custom built twin side-winder manifold after my battery relocation. I have a forge intercooler, HKS BOV, SS exhaust tubing for the manifold, 2" aluminum intercooler tubing, Oil Cooler and so on. Here are a few teaser pictures, but I will load more of them tonight and keep posting them as I go! I am also going to creating DIY's on how to wire in the AEM FIC into these cars so other people can have an easier installation then I did. Enjoy and feel free to criticize or make suggestions, I am open to ideas and thoughts from everyone.

I told myself that this would never happen. I told myself I wouldn't be one of those bloggers that fell off the face of the earth for indefinite periods of time only to resurface and say, "Oh I'm so sorry! But my life got busy and this and that and blah, blah, blah." But it's happened… again.
Here's the deal.
I graduate in less than two months. And while I am ready to be done with school and homework, I am definitely nowhere near ready to leave the
friends family I've made over these past four years. I am determined to soak up every minute I have left with the absolutely wonderful people in my life. And if my blog posts have to come less frequently in order for me to do that, then so be it.
I still love y'all. Promise. But y'all are just gonna have to hold yer horses for a while.
So, as is (somewhat) usual for me, here's the monthly roundup of the last month of my life. It has been full of adventure!
My friend and I went to the historic district of a nearby town last month and explored. It was so fun! The area was beautiful and charming and there were advertisements painted on the sides of buildings. I'm a sucker for old advertisements painted on the sides of buildings. Just to let y'all know.
It snowed. Once. And it melted the same afternoon it came down. That's been the only sign of winter we've seen all year. And as much as I like snow, I ain't complaining. Bring on summer! I'm ready for warmth and sunshine!
The sunsets have been beautiful! This is good for my soul. (But let it be known that sunsets in Kansas are still 4597230958 times better than they are in Arkansas.)
I've been learning lots of useful things in school. This is from my freshman-level art history class. It's my favorite. Can't ya tell?
And even though I'm totally slacking off in class (and not ashamed of it), I'm still keeping up my grades (see, Momma?). In fact, this was the highest grade I've ever made on a test in college. Thank you freshman-level art class that takes almost no effort to pass.
I went skeet shooting last weekend with some friends. It was a blast! I've shot trap before (once) but this was my first time shooting skeet. I was terrible. But it was great fun. It's my goal in life to be a good shot someday. Then I won't feel like such a poser. I swear, what kind of country girl can't shoot a gun? Oh right, me. Farm girl fail.
That's about all for now. I'll do my best to keep y'all updated as much as possible, but like I said, I'm gonna enjoy the heck out of every last minute I have until graduation! I only have 79,719 minutes left. That's 55 days.
That's too soon.

Natural energy project water treatment systems in Rwanda
In Rwanda, nearly 59 percent of households do not have access to clean, potable water. The vast majority of these households live in rural areas of the country where there is little or no infrastructure to provide potable water. As such, the average Rwandan is limited to point-of-use (POU) methods for treating water, such as boiling it. Available forms of energy to boil water include firewood and kerosene and, in some urban areas, electricity. However, the high expense and limited availability of kerosene precludes its use for the majority of the population. While firewood remains the primary resources of energy, due to steady rates of deforestation, and consequently shrinking supply and rising cost, its use is also limited and subject to increasing regulation by the Rwandan Government as it aims to reduce deforestation. Subsequently, many households and schools simply use contaminated water for drinking, food preparation, and personal hygiene. As a result, diarrheal diseases have become one of the leading causes of deaths behind HIV/AIDS and lower respiratory infections.
While there is a tremendous effort in Rwanda to address HIV/AIDS deaths, there is not a comparable level of effort addressing diarrheal diseases. To complement the current efforts to improve public health by increasing the quality of clinics and hospitals in Rwanda, this project focuses on implementing engineering interventions to provide clean water to rural areas.
The purpose of this project is to provide clean water that meets the drinking, cooking, and hygiene needs in rural Rwanda through the instillation of water treatment systems that rely on renewable energy and replace the use of non-renewable firewood for treating water by boiling.
The usual method for providing water to rural areas in Rwanda is through the use of surface water pipelines that collect and distribute surface water through local water networks to community taps for public consumption. The project will use the existing water supply infrastructure and will install photovoltaic powered ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems on pipelines at four sites in the communities of Mugonero, Esepan, Rwesero, and Nyagasambu. This project builds on the work conducted by Engineering without Borders-USA and uses the same technology that sends the water through gravel flocculators and rapid sand filters as needed, followed by a solar panel-powered UV irradiation system. Each system is configured according the physical needs of the individual site, with the common denominator being the UV irradiation process.
The project targets communities that depend on surface pipelines for their source of water and particularly focuses on installing the solar-powered water treatment systems on pipelines near secondary schools. These systems will offer free-of-charge, clean water to children and the local communities for drinking, food preparation and personal hygiene.
This small-scale project will be implemented and managed by Manna Energy Limited (MEL) in partnership with Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) and the Rwanda Ministry of Education (MINEDUC). As the solar systems will avoid the burning of non-renewable firewood, the projects will qualify to issue carbon credits. Manna will use the carbon credits to finance the cost of installation and maintenance of the treatment plants.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project is supported by UNDP MDG Carbon. Technical assistance is provided by the UNDP to ensure that the project reduces greenhouse gas emissions and delivers benefits to the environment and broader sustainable human development.
The Rwanda CDM project is an example of UNDP's recent efforts to expand MDG Carbon's partnerships in the carbon markets. UNDP was able to assist the project developer, Manna Energy, to identify and secure a carbon credit purchaser on commercial terms that were highly attractive, despite a downturn in the carbon market. In addition, the project is a concrete example of the capacity-building role that comes from MDG Carbon's involvement in a project.
UNDP staff played an important role in advising Manna on the technical development of the project; facilitated the introduction between the carbon buyer and Manna; assumed a major role in advising during contract negotiations; and played a key role in assisting Manna to obtain financing commitments from Acumen Fund and Calvert Foundation, two of the most well-established social enterprise funds in the United States.
By providing clean water while reducing deforestation and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with burning nonrenewable biomass, the project contributes to mitigating climate change in addition to contributing to the UN MDGs for Rwanda. Additionally, the project will reduce the amount of financial resources households and schools must spend on purchasing firewood, freeing up these resources for other economic uses. The project activity also furthers the goals of sustainable development by transferring the UV disinfection system and photovoltaic power system technology to Rwanda and builds the capacity of the local Rwandan workforce by teaching them how to install, operate, and maintain these systems. Moreover, this project provides a chance for rural Rwandans to focus on their work and studies without the frequent illnesses attributable to the widely contaminated water.

North Carolina Head Coach Roy Williams
Opening Statement:
"Well, I was extremely disappointed to say the least, but I am not disappointed in the effort of our team. The intensity tonight was better than it has been all year long, but Duke gets that from everybody. You have to congratulate them. They made 13 of 14 free throws in the second half. We needed them to miss a couple of those to say the least. We needed to make a couple of ours. That is just picking one thing out. I think the biggest plays in the second half were when [Tyler] Thornton hit a couple of big threes. We weren't supposed be helping guard the ball and not sag back into help. He hit two open threes and one of them came off of an offensive rebound. We were still right there, get them to miss a shot. I thought it was going to be a shot clock violation, but he called a foul. It probably was a foul. I think it was a four-point game at that time. It put them on the free throw line, instead of it being our ball down four. It was our ball down six. I was really pleased with our effort tonight. As I said in the first comment, it was by far the best we have had this year. We didn't shoot the ball very well. I really think we are a good shooting team. PJ [Hairston] has been shooting the ball really well from the three-point line. He was 1-for-7. Leslie [McDonald] was 0-for-3. Both of them are good shooters.
"You have to congratulate Duke's perimeter defense, because they made the shots covered. They made it more difficult. I am not into moral victories, I told them that in the locker room, but I am pleased with the effort they gave.
"Congratulate Duke, there is a reason why they are No. 1 in the country, because they are really good. They got off to a great start this year playing the most difficult schedule in the country and they played great when Ryan [Kelly] went down. For two or three games they were all out of whack, but they have been playing great lately. We will get a chance to play them again. Hopefully we play a little better and they play a little worse."
On his decision to change starting lineup:
"I started to do it four or five games ago, but everybody is going to say you are going to put PJ [Hairston] in for somebody else. Nobody else knows my team better. It is popular to say that somebody else is supposed to be in the lineup. For us, he is such a good scorer and Duke's four man Amile Jefferson and Josh Hairston is not a focal point of their offense. They are a three-point shooting team and they throw the ball inside to Mason [Plumlee]. We hoped that PJ would be able to battle and guard inside. He did fine with that. They got a couple of offensive rebounds just on reach and Mason was able to cross the lane two times with that big jump hook. We don't have the size to defend anything like that. As I said, we started to make that change four or five games ago. I may start five different guys Saturday."
On what the team can take away for the rest of season:
"I hope they realize how much they invested and that it was also a battle. It is still a loss, as I said I am not into moral victories. It was there for the taking. They invested more and got more out of it."
On matchup problems when Duke went to four guards in second half:
"In my opinion it is not a matchup problem. Their guys made big plays. If you go back and look at it we helped on the drive attack. Thornton made two threes from the right side. It might have been three. One of those was a bad box out. We got them to miss the first shot and I am going to guess it was [Rasheed] Sulaimon ran all the way across the court and got the rebound right in front of their bench. It wasn't really a matchup problem, because we were small also. PJ was probably the guy that would guard Tyler at that time. We had one big guy and they had one big guy, Josh Hairston, at that time. Like I said, you have to congratulate them. They made some big shots."
On his starters' minutes:
"I was trying to win the daggum game. I don't make decisions based on how many minutes a guy has played. I am going to play the guys that I want at that specific time. I may play five guys 40 minutes Saturday, I don't know or 12 guys in the first half. We didn't have Joel [James]. Desmond [Hubert] came in and played a couple of minutes in the first half and played well defensively."
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski
Opening Statement:
"I just thought both teams played the way Duke and North Carolina teams play. They play so hard, and we did too. They started a different lineup and they really went away from the all the stuff they usually do in really trying to run it down our throats. Putting [Reggie] Bullock at the four, I mean those two kids, Bullock and [P.J.] Hairston are two of the best shooters in the country, and they put a lot of pressure on you. And then [James Michael] McAdoo, they are good. I think they are really good, and they are deep, and they're deeper than we are, so you worry about attrition. The pace of the game and the fouls, we just made some dumb fouls and got ourselves into a lot of foul trouble, you know our guys had to play with foul trouble. We turned it over more than we have the entire year, and with 11 first half turnovers, half of their points came off turnovers. We started the half, and Mason [Plumlee] got his third and we were down 38-31 and I subbed for Mason, I thought he was playing like he had three fouls. I thought McAdoo was just going at him, so McAdoo was either going to score or Mason was going to foul him. So we took him out, and Hairston and Thornton really did a great job for us. I think the hero of the game for us was [Tyler] Thornton. He would not let us lose. He was guarding the four, he hit a big three, and his pass to Quinn in the full court, knocked it out one time, didn't get the rebound but knocked it out so we got an extra possession. Just a terrific performance by Tyler Thornton. He got those threes, he and Rasheed [Sulaimon] and Seth [Curry], and then Seth hit another three, but down the stretch we hit every free throw. Our guys have been so good at end of game situations to step up and hit, there is a lot of game pressure, and I know they are tired. We couldn't sub as much, we don't have that many players. But a terrific win. The crowd was great, it's just a great win for us, I am really proud of the grit my teams showed tonight."

On Sunday, July 31, 10 University of St. Thomas students, accompanied by Fr. Mike Buentello, CSB, and Sr. Damien Marie Savino, FSE, will depart for Oviedo, Spain, where they will set off on a two week hike across the Camino Primitivo to Santiago de Compostela and then travel to Madrid for World Youth Day with Pope Benedict XVI.
The campus community is invited to follow the pilgrims on their travels through an official UST Blog. The blog will introduce each of the trip participants and follow the itinerary of their trip. It will provide information about each location they visit and include photos and updates from the group when they have internet access.
The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, is a pilgrimage route leading to the town of Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain. The route originated during the Middle Ages when Christian pilgrims travelled to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela where the remains of the Apostle St. James are thought to be buried. Today, pilgrims travel from across the world to walk to make the same pilgrimage.
World Youth Day is an international event organized by the Catholic Church, uniting young people from across the world. Begun in 1984 on Palm Sunday by Pope John Paul II as a celebration of the Year of Redemption, World Youth Day was made official in 1985 and has taken place every 2 or 3 years since then. This day is an incentive for the young people of the Church to share and celebrate their faith, while meditating on the message the Pope chooses for each meeting. The year, the World Youth Day Theme is from the writings of St. Paul: "Planted and Built Up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the Faith." Over one million youth are expected to attend.

Coach Molly Struve has officially resigned from her position as Head Men's and Women's Cross Country Coach at Iowa Lakes Community College, one that she held since 2007.
Struve will stay in the Iowa Lakes family as she has accepted a position in the success center on the Estherville campus. While at the helm of the Lakers, Coach Struve had numerous runners advance to the national meet and become Academic All-Americans.
When asked about the news, Athletic Director Troy Larson commented, "Molly did a good job over the last six years as our head men's and women's cross country coach. She cared deeply about her student athletes and had a positive impact on their lives. We wish her well at her new position at Iowa Lakes."
The national search for Struve's successor is already underway.

Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
I am having some belts made for the pieces of the front seat belt that I am missing. Can anyone measure the belt length for the female side (receiver) of seat belt? I am looking for a length from the end of the anchor to the end of the buckle. I think the length should be 31 inches, but not positive. I am assuming the driver side and passenger side are the same length, but confirmation of that would also be helpful.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
I tried to figure it out by measuring some of the belts I found on ebay. I get measurements anywhere between 20 and 31 inches. If anyone can measure this, I would be extremely grateful.

Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Today I went to the parking where my '69 SDV is.
I measured the female side of the belt from end of anchor to the end of buckle: 83 cm = 32,68 inches. Considering my measuring can not be totally accurate, as the belt passes through a hole in the seat and through the buckle to be adjusted, I think 31 inches could be right. In case of doubt, better get a longer belt, as you can adjust length at the buckle. Passenger and driver are the same length.

Thank you again! Now I can have these belt and get one step closer to being on the road.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Did you get Rosie up to snuff?
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Rosie is a work in progress. The motor is finally in good running order and the seat belt issue is resolved. The main things that have to be done to make her drivable are suspension and steering related. She shakes a bit when go faster than about 35-40. The front springs need to be replaced along with all the bushings/ball joints in the front control arms. If that doesn't cure the the shaking, I may also have to replace the drag link and idler arm. I suppose wheel bearings are also a possibility. This is what I will complete in the next month or so.
She needs a new top, but that is going to have to wait until I can build up my savings. Unfortunately I had a major transmission failure in my daily driver and had to use some $$ earmarked for Rosie. I may try to install a top myself if it works out well for another member (smelvis).
I need to clean/adjust the power windows as most of them are slow and I should do the same with the seat transmissions. These are lower priority items as the car will still be drivable.

Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
I just got a 70 CDV hardtop yesterday. Starting to go thru it. It has an exhaust leak that has to be fixed as well as a few other items to get it to pass inspection. My Front windows do not work but the rear ones do so I need to figue that out and the a/c blows only on low which wouldn't be so bad if the windows went down! The seat works intermitently so will have to figure that out but looks like it is run of of spedo cables under there. Have a feelin I will be on this forum a lot.
My picture is too big to attach and I can't figure out how to put the picture in the text but will try later.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Welcome! We look forward to seeing your progress. Start a new thread and post some pictures of your new baby.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Its been a while since I posted an update...
I've been working on the front suspension for most of the Summer. I ended up pulling everything off including stabilizer bar, control arms, springs, steering knuckles, hubs/disks, calipers, strut bars. I sand-blasted the control arms, knuckles, strut rods and stabilizer bar and repainted them. I also put in new springs/shocks (stock height), ball joints and bushings all around. I also replaced the brake calipers and repacked the wheel bearings with grease. This effort took almost the whole Summer, but due to job situation, I only had a few hours available per week to work on it.
I've finally gotten it all back together, but I haven't gotten an alignment yet. It drives much better, but I still have a little shimmy at certain speeds. I am hoping that the alignment will take care of that problem, but I am worried that I am going to be replacing the steering linkage next.
This job was mostly straight-forward. The sandblasting and painting took a while, but the bushings and ball joints were pretty easy to remove and press in. I made the tool in the service manual for extracting the upper control arm bushings which made that job really easy. The main problem that I ran into were with the holes in the left spring tower in the frame. Whoever previously removed the control arm installed the bolts upside down and loose so that the upper arm moved around and elongated the holes in the frame. It probably should be welded, but I was able to cut a piece of metal to perfectly fit the slot and it is sandwiched between a washer underneath and the upper arm pivot. I don't think it will be moving again. The other problem was that the threads in the frame for the stabilizer mount on the left side stripped. They must have already been bad, because I was only torquing it to the spec from the service manual. This problem was easily solved by drilling out the holes and using nuts on the other side of the frame. I was luck that there was easy access.
Here are a few pictures of the painted parts with new bushings/ball joints installed. I will snap a few more pictures with the parts installed later.

You should definitely have the alignment performed since you did all that suspension work but typically a shimmy is caused by tires being out of balance.
Does shimmy happen while braking or does it happen just driving? Does shimmy go away after certain speed or between certain speeds?
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Definitely planning for an alignment and I will have them balance all of the wheels as well. I just have to find some time to take it in.
In the meantime, I've been working on cleaning up a few other nagging problems. Had to replace the ignition coil as the old one was leaking oil. I'm also trying smooth out the idle and get running better in general. It seems like I might have a slight lean misfire at idle and am adjusting the mixture screws to correct that. Right now the screws are out about 4.5 turns. I suspect that there might still be a vacuum leak somewhere. I tested the vacuum advance by sucking on the hose. I can get it to move, but it leaks down after about 6-7 seconds. I am assuming that the advance shouldn't leak down at all and that it should be replaced, but let me know if this is not true. I don't know much this will help as there shouldn't be much signal using the ported vacuum at idle. I'm gonna spray some carb cleaner around to see if I can find other leaks.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
Started her up last night and went for a quick spin. She is idling way to rich now judging by the exhaust smell. I will have to start over and readjust. I assumed the previous idle setting was too lean as the exhaust was making soft "poofing" sounds, but maybe there is something else going on. I've been setting the idle using only a tach and instructions from the service manual, but I might need to get a vacuum gauge.
I ordered a new vac advance as it seems the old one is leaking. This probably won't help the idle, but am hoping this will make it run better everywhere else.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Cadillac Deville Convertible
On the engine bogging at acceleration you might want to check your secondary valves of the carb. If they are too loose (they are spring loaded), then it grasps too much air at acceleration. Hence the bogging at high acceleration and normal at slow acceleration. I had the same issue.
On the driver side of the carb under the axle of the secondary valve is a small screw that fixes the arm that touches the rotary spring on the axle. If the tension is off (too loose) or the screw is loose completely the secondaries open too soon or don't even close at all.
The secondaries should be closed when the engine is off or idling. Mine were loose (the spring was broken) so the engine bogged at harder acceleration and even stalled completely at full throttle.
Here are some new dark red safety belts:
They have the anchor bolts too.
On the child seats: I couldn't take the 1 year old along until she was big enough for the size I seat. The size 0 seat only worked with a 3 point safety belt or Isofix. Now the kids are in a size I and size II seat that I can at least fix with the lap belt. The size I seat has its own belts to secure the kid. The size II seat needs the actual safety belt to secure the kid.
I already bought the shoulder belts for the rear seats (which were optional for 1970). I still need to locate the original thread hole in the C pillar for the anchor bolt for which I need to remove the liner.
I also considered creating a custom isofix construction (they are called LATCH achors in the US) fixed to the original safety belt anchor bolts (or I will drill new holes) for increased safety. You don't have to worry about getting it checked, because the whole thing is not mandatory for classic cars anyway. I will use it additionally to the safety belts.
If you get to replacing the top make sure you bring patience. It is alright to take at least 5 times to get it all aligned and straight.
I guess I should've read the prior pages before I posted. Seems like your carb problem has been solved. What brand is that carb you bought? Mind you the Rochester 4 barrel is about the best you can get for your engine (yes, better than Edelbrock and other performance brands).
Also read you already found the safety belts.
Re: New Owner Red 1970 Deville Convertible
I have a rebuilt Quadrajet and I am quite happy with it. The car had a Quadrajet from a Buick when I bought it and rather than try to mess with it, I just bought a rebuilt one. I am working on dialing it in a bit more, but it already is pretty good.
I have the seat belts, but I haven't installed them on the passenger side yet because the holes/pass-through/guides are missing. I think the seats must have been recovered with vinyl at some point.

CHAPEL HILL - Second-ranked North Carolina went on a 9-0 run to start the second half and defeated Jacksonville, 16-4, on Friday evening at Fetzer Field. Carolina improved to 12-2 with the victory. Jacksonville fell to 9-4 with the loss.
The game marked the final regular season home game for Tar Heel seniors Kara Cannizzaro, Emily Garrity, Jessica Griffin, Breada Farrell and Lauren Maksym.
UNC got three goals and one assist from both Abbey Friend and Taylor George, while Aly Messinger added two goals and an assist. Cannizzaro scored twice on her senior night, while classmate Garrity had a goal and an assist. Lindsay Scott, Brittney Coppa, Griffin, Devin Markison and Kelly Devlin all scored single goals, while Sammy Jo Tracy and Kate Martino dished out assists.
Amanda Hurley led Jacksonville with a pair of goals. Ali Hoffman and Nikkie Erdely both scored once, and Ellyn Spangenberg, Taylor McCord and Holly Ventimiglia all had single assists for the Dolphins.
Carolina dominated statistically, winning with a 35-12 edge in shots and a 26-13 advantage in ground balls. The Tar Heel defense forced 21 turnovers while UNC committed 13 miscues of its own.
In the first half, the two teams traded goals in the opening seven minutes. Carolina then ripped off a 3-0 run in just over five minutes to take a 4-1 lead and force a Dolphin timeout at the 17:50 mark of the half. Just over a minute later, Cannizzaro scored as Carolina took a 5-1 lead.
Jacksonville scored two of the final three goals of the half, and the Tar Heels led 6-3 at the break.
The Tar Heels dominated the second half from the outset, building their lead to 15-3 with 7:19 to play in the game before Jacksonville could break the Carolina scoring run. UNC got goals from 10 players and points from 12 in a well-balanced, team performance.
The Tar Heels will return to action and conclude their 2013 regular season next Saturday at Vanderbilt. Carolina will host the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament April 25-28 at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill.

Hi again guys,
I was wandering what paint you fellow UKers use for a Jango Helm. I know the normal colours that work in the USA Krylon ocean blue etc etc. However I cannot find a way to purchase these from the UK Or anything similar please let me know which paints have worked best for you


text: It might not have been pretty, or particularly manly (whatever that is), but it'll stick. It's important to be effective. Getting thrown out of a ball game is a one news cycle story because of KG's stature. Charlie doesn't have any stature. He used the "media" to get his story out. Look at all the buzz. Columns being written by national sportswriters. Let me try my hand at writing one: "Aurora. Read all about it! Read all about it! KG is a insensitive bully who is stupid too, instead of that All-Star alpha male with that hot aggressive drive you've been swooning over for years..." Hey...I GOT THE STORY. Thanks Charlie. Twitter was the smart move. That's why everyone is so mad about it. If KG can get "outed" for being a "bad person", so can anyone else between the lines or outside of them. Wow it's kind of like being a real person, accountable for your actions and your words.

One of our recent surveys on business applications shows that more than 60% of business and business technology (BT) decision-makers consider consolidating, rationalizing, and transforming their business applications a high or critical priority — business applications drive three of the top four software initiative priorities (see the figure below). If we include closely related analytics, business intelligence (BI), and decision support tools, we cover all four top priorities.
At the same time, business and BT execs responsible for a variety of different business and IT domains across multiple industries typically explain that customer experience has moved to center stage; digital value has increasing importance in an information society and an information economy; and better use of things like real estate, intellectual property, available inventory, skilled personnel, and digital assets has become mandatory to manage costs and create new revenue streams. Managing and reducing costs in a continuously changing business and IT environment remains a key driver for functional departments in many firms.

Please post in here for anything to do with live feeds for the Sochi Olympics!
Well, none of the streams are working for me so I'll rely on pbps and hopefully some vids will pop up. :/
is it going to show on nbcolympics.com? No "Live" link yet.
Hope there will be a good link soon!
so far i've found these :
(in russian)
(freezed, announcing feed in a few min, message in english)
You guys are the best!
NBC link: http://stream.nbcolympics.com/figure-skating/winter/15417/
(given by a friend - I couldn't find it on the site!)
Bless you all
Though not sure if this only works in France?
(a few seconds delay compared to other streams, but image is bigger)
For those in Latinamerica (or able to connect through a vpn, proxy)
That BBC live feed is FABULOUS ! Sue Barker not talking too much leaving the info up to Robin
German TV:
Seems like the German one requires you to be in Germany.
The Russian one works, yay! I can see there is a torrent stream for that - has anyone installed that and seen how it works? Is it better quality than the flash vid?
Oh, and thanks for finding these, whoohooo
here's a good quality BBC link.
The Russian link works for me too! Thanks everyone!
Watched the NBC stream today, and they had the British team. Would have preferred Johnny and Tara, though.
Thanks for posting this. I couldn't find it on the site either!
Rossiya-1 (for me, via TVTeka) is set to show the Opening Cerems LIVE beginning at 11:14AM EST....until 1:45PM EST.
http://tvteka.tv/live/rossiya (just $12/month)
BBC Opening Ceremony live link http://u-stream.me/bbc-2.html
This is showing the opening ceremony, but it is very choppy.
Thanks everyone for the links!

is there a bbc link or any other link for the team SDs? johnny and tara dont know what they are talking about, poor dears
not that I've found so far. The Russian feed I watched yesterday has been found out and is blocked.
this works for me
Ugh, can't seem to view the SD live anywhere online. One of the links is of skiing and sledding. The others keep asking me to download players that are being blocked by Norton anti-virus. Guess I'll have to wait to watch on NBC tonight.
Edit- bestsportgo is working now. THANKS! It's a small screen partly obstructed by an alert to "please install video downloader"-- but hey, it's a lot better than nothing!
