Pinokio- with it's jam free operation, super light weight, incredible battery life, and amazing capacity (270 rounds standard, 400 with INCLUDED nose), lid with extended opening tabs, battery life LED, this is the ultimate loader
"First Pump Gun you should buy" -
Azodin Kaos Pump - This pump has an amazing stroke, it's easy to upgrade, fun to shoot, uses Ion threaded feednecks, Autococker Barrels, and spyder body parts. It's dual spyder / intimidator detent design means you can stick the fastest of the fastest loaders on it, with no problems at all. Super light, easy to shoot, one of the best pump guns to ever hit the marker in the sub-$200 price range
Best $25 Investment in the history of paintball-
Paintball Caddy - it holds 1100 balls, prevents you from spilling them, easy to carry, fills pods in seconds, you can empty all your pods and loaders into it after a day of play, easily the best $25 investment you'll ever make in paintball. I've owned mine for almost 6 years!!!
Most Dominate Woodsball Gun Setup-
Smart Parts SP-1 w/ Blackheart Board, Freak Back, 16" All American Barrel with APEX Tip- we tested nearly every "woodsball gun" on the market, and the Smart Parts SP-1 Blackheart continues to be the dominate leader. Features such as "on button mode swtiching" to go from semi to 3 shot, to full auto, laser eyes, amazingly smooth trigger pull, LUXE regulator, balanced feel, it's extremely accurate, quiet, and bulletproof reliable. Combine this with the whisper quiet Freak Back, .689 insert w/ the heavily Ported 16" All American Barrel and the incredible range of the Apex Tip, and you have the absolute most dominate woodsball setup on the market today.
Best "First Mask" to purchase-
Vforce Pro Vantage - easily the best entry level mask to ever hit the market. It uses the same foam, same strap construction, same rubber, and same lense material as the Grill and the Profiler. It fits perfectly on smaller faces, it's got forehead protection, and you have three choices of lenses - clear, smoke and yellow, as well as different colors to choose from. If you are brand new to paintball, and you have $30 to spend, buy this mask.
Best Pack Company-
Still on top, the NXE packs have been proven to outlast the competition, hands down. Anytime you purchase an NXE pack, you know you are going to get a paintball pack that is comfortable, lightweight, and will last for years with trouble free operation. Time and time again, the NXE packs have proven themselves to be a worthy investment. From the Pro Harness, up to the Elevation Series, you can NEVER go wrong with an NXE Pack.
Best Pods-
Custom Products - The pods from Custom Products are awesome. Last forever, well made, tons of different colors, and they sell them by the box!
Mask of the Year-
Proto Pro Axis - This mask is the ultimate crossover paintball mask. The soft ears and jaw not only provide light weight with bounces in airball, but allow you to "shoulder" paintball guns with stocks in woodsball. Amazing selection of thermal lenses in ALL different colors, easy to remove lense, firm strap, easy to breath face protection, fits all sizes of faces. And to top it off, has the ability to mount the Proto Fan, which quickly defogs your mask in the case of severe humidity. Multiple colors from flashy to camo, as well as great protection to the head, ears, and mouth, this mask easily smokes the other masks currently on the market. The Proto Pro Axis leads the pack in terms of a great mask for BOTH woodsball and airball.
Best Paintball Pants-
2009 Tanked - Although the ventilation is somewhat lacking for extremely hot weather, the 2009 Tanked series pants are some of the most durable, stylish, and comfortable pants made this year. An average amount of knee padding, tons of pockets and features, the 2009 Tanked Pants were my personal favorite pants I tested out this year. These pands have an adjustable soft cup that velcros to the back of the zipper for the perfect placement for protection, as well as detachable velcro hip pads. Great pants for sub 80 degree weather.
Lifetime Pants Award-
2007 JT Tournament - The 2007 JT Tournament Pants are without a doubt, the standard for paintball pants. Super lightweight pants, with an incredible amount of kevlar knee protection. Designed by Oliver Lang for tournament paintball, and currently on sale for $60 @ ANSGear.com, these pants are some of the BEST pants EVER made for paintball. Honorable mention are the XSV Pants made in 2005 by Clutch Paintball.
Aftermarket Accessory Company of the Year-
Custom Products - There are few company that offer almost everything you'd ever want to upgrade on your gun, but Custom Products is one of them. Feednecks, Trigger, as well as some of the best regulators and ASA's on the market. Custom products is the clear choice when you are looking to upgrade your gun. With multiple colors and finishes, you can pick the right combo to make your marker look GOOOOOOD! Their barrels go through an 8 stage honing process, on machines that cost almost $250,000. And the best part? You can get a custom products classic barrel for only $30!
Most Underrated Spool Valve Gun -
Smart Parts Vibe Blackheart - This is one of the most overlooked, and underrated paintball guns on the market today. Extremely quiet, accurate, uses a LUXE regulator, great clamping feedneck, easy to take apart and service, laser eyes, awesome modes for airball and woodsball (including the "semi, 3 shot, full auto" one button push, on the fly mode switching for woodsball in the blackheart), the Vibe Blackheart is a marker that's light enough for XBall, yet powerful enough for the biggest scenario games. Low force bolt combined with laser eyes gives you DOUBLE protection against ball breaks. Uses both Siphoned CO2 and HPA, this marker is one of the best guns in the sub-$300 price range, and the most overlooked. The trigger is great as well, full radiused, snappy, easy to adjust, don't look past this gun when searching for a sub-$300 gun. This gun truly shocked me with it's performance, it SMOKES the Ion in nearly every way possible. Goes down to 10BPS unlike the G3, much better solenoid and board than the Mini, and nearly impossible to overpressurize like the PMR.
Scenario Vest-
Flurry Industries has one of the best vests on the market. With amazing service, full customization IN HOUSE including a team plate on the back, and your name on the front, this vest is one of the best vests on the market. Two configurations of "front pouches", 4 pods or two pouches, as well as a ton of configurations on the back with the velcro back. Holds all of your maps & ID's in the front pocket, camel pack in the back, tons of dring hooks and straps for guns and masks, this vest is ready for battle! TechPB put these vests to the ultimate test at Living Legends, and it fit everyone from "Kitty the Hobbit" to "JD the Giant"!
Coolest Barrel Sock -
Stiffi Carbon Fiber Barrel Sock - come on, what's cooler than a carbon fiber barrel sock?
Best "First Loader" -
Invert Too - this loader is absolutely PACKED with features. From a Reloader B2 Board, Anti-Jam Freeway, it uses the classic lid without the magnets that fall out. It's brutally fast, works perfect, standard speed feeds fit on it, if you are looking for your first "real" loader, skip the Eggy, skip the Eye Force, skip the Torque, skip the Fasta, and just get the Invert Too.
Paintball's Time Capsule Video Award -
Ton Ton's 2004 NPPL Trailer - cheerleaders, mascots, booth babes, hotties shakin' it, packed trade show, one of the last good years of paintball before walt disney took it over. ahh the good old days..........
Best Sub $100 Paintball Gun, Best Starter Paintball Gun-
Azodin Kaos - I can't think of a better paintball to get started into paintball with. This gun is light, fast, easy to upgrade, no surprises, just shoots paint! Crisp trigger, nice feedneck, dual detents, Ion threaded feedneck, Autococker Barrel, comes with a rail intergrated into the grip frame, this gun smokes everything in the sub $100 price range.
Rocket Launcher Award-
Metadyne Industries Rocket Launcher - this launcher is light, has a fast recharge, super accurate, efficient, and you can mount it on any weaver mount like a M203 Rocket Launcher. It's safe enough for scenario games, easy to rebuild and take apart, drains all the air out of the launcher when you unscrew the tank, great trigger with safety (M16 Grip), if you are looking for a rocket launcher that will do some serious damage at the scenario games, this is the one to get! Small enough to backpack, Tanks beware!!
Breakout website of the year-
www.propaintball.com - this website is always in touch with the latest news in professional player news, rule changes, and league info. Pro Paintball has done a great job of keeping players up to date with the latest in roster changes, trades and changes with their favorite pro teams. This site is becoming a great site for news and information!
Insider website of the year-
www.thefordreport.com - awesome industry insider info, Dale Ford doesn't pussyfoot around, and asks the questions many people are afraid to ask. Dale has great resources of information, and his weekly news reports are some of the most entertaining reads on the internet. Dale continues to be one of the BIGGEST sources of insider information that NO ONE else knows about. You want to know the inside scoop on paintball, get on Dale's good side (if he has one LOL)
Most revolutionary product to ever hit the paintball scene-
Tiberius Arms First Strike Rounds - These rounds are the perfect combination of accuracy and unspeakable range. Easily being able to hit people from over 100 yards away, you do not want to be the guy "waiving" out in the open when your opponent has these loaded and ready to fire. If you can see them, you can hit them with First Strike rounds. Perfectly engineered to break on contact, brittle shells, these rounds are whisper quiet, brutally accurate, and give you precision shots at 3 times the range of an Apex or Flatline barrel. If we were on a football field, and you were standing in one end zone, and I was standing in the other, I'd hit you within 3 shots, no problem at all.
Lifetime Paintball Gun Award-
Bob Long Alias - Still to this day, the Bob Long Alias continues to be the benchmark in terms of performance, smooth shooting, consistency, amazing trigger feel, reliability, ease of use, easy to adjust, insane rates of fire in semi auto, just one of the best all time paintball guns ever made. Considering the Alias was built back in 2003/2004, this gun still continues to be a dominant force on the paintball field. With nothing more than a $10 board flash, a bone stock Alias from 2003 can compete with nearly any marker on the field made today. There is no gun, in the history of paintball, that has earned this award more than the Bob Long Alias.
Best all around paint -
Draxxus XBall Silver - one of the absolute BEST performing paints on the market today. Super bright fill, breaks on your opponents, not in your gun. I have personally tested this paint for YEARS, and it's been my go-to paint at tournaments without fail. Rail, cold, heat, woods, airball, in my experience, I have yet to find a paint that is more reliable, more consistent, and always performs amazing, event after event, than Draxxus Silver. In all my years of playing tournaments, I've never gotten a bad batch of Draxxus Silver.
Best Knee & Elbow Pads-
09 Dye Core - I have yet to find a better set of knee pads, or elbow pads than the 2009 Dye Core line. The knee pads never slip down, the elbow pads provide a ton of protection, these are the ultimate in terms of padding.
Most improved company-
Smart Parts - From the updating of their shocker boards, to the new Smart Parts SP-1, Smart Parts Vibe, Luxe, and now the new impulse, Smart Parts is a company that has finally gotten out of their rut, and back on the scene with quality, no nonsense products at great prices. The SP-1 and Vibe are some of the best guns to ever come out in the sub-$200 price range. I think this company has finally realized how important they are to paintball, and paintball players.
Company that needs to pull their head out of their ass and get with the program-
JT Sports - What is going on at JT Sports? Since their 2007 JT Tournament Pants, and the Pro Flex, this company has just dug themselves deeper and deeper into their own grave. Their new line of masks are marginal at best, their designs are tanking big time, JT needs to get with the program ASAP!! UPDATE - After speaking with Chuck & Jason @ JT Sports at Extravaganza, JT looks to be getting with the program! JT has been through two buyouts, a location change from California to Arkansas, two brand mergers, but now... they are back in it to win it!!! Let's see what you got JT!!
"It took ya 20+ years to realize that we don't use offset ASA holes, metric macroline hose fittings, male to female regulators, and that guns with stovepipe feednecks are dogshit, and that when your force to whore your whole product line to WalMart because no one wants to carry it, it's because it's dogshit, but it's 2009 and you're catching on" award-
Kingman Paintball! Congrats on waking up and realizing your not the only company in paintball, and when 90% of your customers never come back to purchase another product from you, there is something wrong there!
Coolest Old School Paintball Gun
Shocktech SFL - The low rise feedneck just sells this gun. Its light, it comes timed in the box, nearly impossible to short stroke, this gun is a must have for anyone looking for a bad ass old school cocker.
Best Speedfeed on the market-
Exalt Feedgate - this was a CLOSE one between the Virtue Crown and Exalt Feedgate. But after months of use, the decision was clear. The Exalt Feedgate grips tightly to your loader, where the Virtue Crown tended to slip off occasionally. Also, the Exalt Feedgate doesn't have the drooping tabs like what tends to happen to the Virtue Crown. Both are amazing designs, but the award goes to the Exalt!
Best Budget Tournament Paintball Gun -
ETEK2 - basically an Ego with a microswitch and no QEV's, the ETEK2 is definitely one of the best tournament budget guns on the market. Some of the best packaging on the market, the manual is detailed and extensive, with full color pictures. In the sub-$600 price range, don't even hesitate to purchase this gun, just buy it...
Best $300 paintball gun-
Once again, the award goes to the Vibe Blackheart (but you will need to add a 14" CP Classic Barrel). The 09 SLG UL was in the running for some time for this award, but recent problems with the sear took it out of contention. Another contender was the PMR. The PMR is a great marker, but the Vibe Blackheart is a considerably smoother shooter gun. The Vibe Blackheart is one of the best guns Smart Parts has ever produced... EVER. In my opinion, it's better than any Shocker (SFT or NXT), better than the Nerve, better than the original impulse. The Smart Parts Vibe Blackheart is more consistent, more reliable, more accurate, and easier to take apart than guns twice it's price. The G3 has always been a STONG contender in this bracket, but the Vibe Blackheart takes advantage of the limitations of the G3 board, and pulls ahead yet again. You can't play PSP with the stock G3, you can play PSP with the Vibe Blackheart. This gun, time and time again, pulled ahead of the PMR, the G3, and the SLG. With the exception of needing longer 10/32 screws to mount a rail, and the limited adjustability of the trigger, this gun is absolutely amazing.
Smoothest shooting gun on the market-
Dye DM9 - with the proper lube and correctly set LPR, the Dye DM9 is such an experience to shoot. Leaving no indication as to what fired the ball, when you pull the trigger, you simply hear a "puff" of air and the ball quickly leaves the barrel. It does take time to learn how to properly lube your DM9, and how to properly set your LPR, but once you learn, this is one of the smoothest shooting gun on the market. Just point it at people, it does the rest
Most ergonomically friendly gun-
DLX Technologies LUXE - the ergonomics of the Luxe are something to behold. It's perfectly balanced for the running-and-gunning playing style. Not too close, not too far, just perfectly balanced. Combine this with the new "soft touch" manifold, which slows the bolt speed down (think stock Vibe), and you have a gun that never breaks paint. If you're doing a runthrough, the Luxe just feels effortless.
Biggest surprise of the year-
Alien 09 Independence - We've never had big expectations from small gun companies, but the 09 Alien Independence came out swinging out of the box. Many of the components of the Alien follow closely with some of the best guns ever to be released-
HPR - Custom Products
LPR - Similar to an Ego w/ balanced spring
Poppet - Similar to an Alias, long poppet spring like a Vice
Feedneck - similar to a Marq, except clamping
Trigger - created and design by Critical Paintball
The 09 Alien just came out swinging from the first time we used it. Brutally fast, lightweight, awesome board, accurate, quiet, consistent, we had no issues with this marker the entire time we used it! This marker is no joke and if you're looking for something unique and different, check this gun out!
Traveling Gearbag Award-
Dye Navigator - This year, I've taken the Dye Navigator on multiple flights all over the United States. What makes the Dye Navigator so good? Simple, it splits in half. My gear bag typically weighs in around 80 pounds completely filled with paintball gear and clothes. Most airlines have a limit of 50 pounds per bag, over that limit, and you're looking at a $100+ charge for your overweight gearbag! This Dye Navigator has paid for itself numerous times by being able to split it in half. When split in half, typically the charges were $15 and $25, s savings of $60+ EACH WAY! There are better designed gearbags for "in town" use, but if you're getting on a flight, or you plan on doing some traveling and bringing your paintball gear, get the Dye Navigator Gearbag, cut your bag in half = cut your baggage fees in half!
Must have woodsball barrel award-
BT Apex - You'd be crazy not to hit the woods with this barrel! Yes it works, yes it's better than the flatline, yes you can curve it left, right, down, up, the adjustability of the Apex barrel is what makes it so good. Multiple "dialer" selections means you can set the spin from 0 spin, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and maximum spin! Need to curve it upwards to hit someone on the second floor of a fort? Crank it to 100% and the ball will rise like a golf ball hit with a 5 wood! With different companies making barrels that are Apex compatible, such as Lapco, Smart Parts, and Spec Ops, there is no reason why you don't have one of these in the woods. Borg uses one, I use one, this is a MUST HAVE woodsball accessory.
Jersey Company of the Year award-
www.razalife.com - So much history and depth to this company, it's incredible. Michael Breto ("timebomb" on PBNation) was the person who actually came up with the name... PBNation! Owned by Todd Martinez from Dynasty, this company utilizes the absolute best in stitching and materials for an absolute top notch jersey. Working hand in hand with Chris Corcino (legendary artist and co-owner of Hybrid Technologies), this company is absolutely beginning to take over the market for custom jersey manufacturing. Sure, they're a little bit expensive, but if your team is wanting custom jerseys, take your credit card and give the guys at Raza Life a call!
Best overall barrel award-
Custom Products 14" Classic - Back in the late 1990's, barrels, good and bad, used to cost over $100 easily! And some of those barrels were marginal at best! The Custom Products 14" Classic barrel is one of the absolute BEST bang for your buck barrels on the market. Good enough for the professional players, yet affordable enough for the first time paintball player on a budget. They come in nearly every gun thread, and nearly every color you could ever need. These barrels go through a 6 stage honing process, on $300,000 machines! Coming in 3 different bore sizes:
.685 small bore if you're a pocket protector wearing, slide rule using underboring paintball supernerd,
.689 regular bore for those who are still wondering if the prostitute they took back to the hotel in Vegas was actually a man
.693 if you're a King Kong sexual tyrannosaurus coming out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped around you drinking kool-aid saying "who's next" overboring super-stud like me
The best part? They are only $30!!!! If you have been debating the whole "underbore vs overbore" decision, simply buy all 3! For $30, stop searching and start buying. These barrels are honed to a MIRROR polish, they last forever, and work great. Buy them!
Best Standard ASA-
Critical Paintball - this little diet ASA was the one we used on the Rendition Alias. It's lightweight, it works awesome, great airflow and cheap for $25! The best part about this ASA, is that you can go to the hardware store and purchase longer 10/32 screws if you need longer screws for your particular gun design, like the SP-1 or Vibe that require longer screws. A VERY close second place is the Bob Long Marq ASA
Best On/Off ASA -
2009 Custom Products Mini Pro - This little guy is just awesome. Easy to turn, multiple colors, works with both CO2 or HPA, super light and looks great. I love this little asa
Bad Ass Mother Fucker Paintball Player of the Year award-
Borg - The Croatian Sensation!! Die hard Quake 2 fan, he wears a helmet with AK-47 Rounds drilled into it. He can pound more mountain dew, and eat more junkfood than all the women on the television show "The View" combined, yet has less fat than a house salad. His fields are still smoldering from the wars in the late ninties. He plays in bombed out buildings with bullet holes peppering the walls and craters from artillery shells. He uses less than 2 pods a DAY of playing. A case of paint cost him a WEEK'S PAY! Using a dated computer, he cranks out out some of the best FPS videos on the internet. Borg truly is one of the baddest mother fuckers to ever play the sport.... EVER!! WE ARE BORG!!!! SCORE IS IRRELEVANT!!!
Coolest Gadget Website-
www.macrolineguy.com - the absolute best place to get lube, triflow, fittings and macroline. Awesome service, super cheap shipping, Pete is the fucking man of macroline. Get the good stuff!
Best Entry Level Tournament Gun- Smart Parts Vibe Blackheart w/ 14" All American Barrel
Best Mid Range Tournament Gun- ETEK2
Best High End Tournament Gun (poppet) - Ego 9
Best High End Tournament Gun (spool) - DLX Technologies LUXE (honorable mention - DM9)
TechPB's Ultimate "Bad Ass Mother Fucker" Gun Award - This award goes to the paintball gun (woodsball or tournament) that pushes the envelope of technology. And for 2009, without question.....
TIBERIUS ARMS T9 w/ First Strike Rounds
Tiberius Arms, without a doubt, have pushed paintball so far into the future in terms of accuracy and range, they have completely re-writted the rules of engagement to woodsball and scenario paintball. In the 20 years I've been playing paintball, I've NEVER seen something so devastating, so demoralizing, and something that absolutely crushes the definition of "fair" on the paintball field. One Tiberius Arms T9 can hold back an entire INSERTION of players from the other team. I used the T9 at Living Legends, and shot 2 cases of First Strike Rounds. This precision shooting allowed me to keep an entire insertion of 100+ players back for almost 20 minutes. Each magazine holds 8 shots, and I would take out between 4 to 6 people PER MAGAZINE!! People were getting hit dead center in their chest, having absolutely no clue who shot them. Even with me waving to them and showing them that I was shooting at them, they still couldn't believe their eyes. The best part about the First Strike Rounds, is that if you doubt the technology, if you are a skeptic as to what I say, what Punkworks has already proven, what the stories on the internet have been saying, just buy a tube of First Strike Paintballs!
A tube only costs $6, here are some links-
First Strike Rounds @ Shop4Paintball.com $6
First Strike Rounds @ ANSGear.com $6
First Strike Rounds @ ZephyrPaintball.com $6
Next time you place an order, just buy a tube! Add it to your order, put them in your barrel, and shoot them. You will see what the buzz is about. Once you see how well the rounds work, then invest in the gun! You won't be sorry!
Best Lasering Company-
Kohn Lasering - Sure, Gavin can be a bit of a head case, but Kohn Lasering is kicking out the absolutely SICKEST designs in paintball. They have taken over the lasering market, with good reason. Custom 1 of 1 lasering patterns used to cost $500+ EASILY! Now you can get it done for less than $200!! Two amazing artists, you can't go wrong with Kohn Lasering!! They have the equipment, they have the artists, and they do it right! 813-571-0233
"If you can hit only ONE scenario game, hit this one" award-
Living Legends - This scenario game is absolutely off the hook. What scenario game can you play with and against PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS, Industry Executives, and some of the most well known paintball players in the sport! An amazing facility (CPX Sports), you get to play in a town, ruins, and the woodsball is amazing with HUGE concrete forts inside the woods, numerous villages and bunkers, this scenario game is absolutely off the hook! Rain or shine, this scenario game will be the "homecoming" of TechPB forever!

Five days a week, Roberson walks from her home in the city to the Nashua Senior Activity Center where she eats lunch, visits the library, relaxes in the coffee lounge and shops at the thrift store.
Aside from all of the activities and classes, Roberson said the best part of the senior center is having a place to socialize with people her age, who share the same interests and concerns.
Currently, there are about 2,000 members from the Greater Nashua area, a number that organizers are hoping will expand in the coming years.
The center's newest fundraising effort is taking place at Uno Chicago Grill, 304 Daniel Webster Highway in Nashua. The fundraiser is ongoing until the end of the year, and enables patrons to donate 20 percent of their Uno's purchase to the Nashua Senior Activity Center. Customers must have a voucher, which is available at www.nashuaseniorcenter.org.

The Magician's Daughter
Feb 17, 2013 , 1:29 PM by Nicole Foote
Fremantle's Mama Kin is back with her second album, The Magician's Daughter.
Feisty and full of heart and melody, Mama Kin's smoky vocals are both seductive and tender. From Fremantle, Mama Kin emerged on the Oz musical landscape a few years ago with her debut album Beat and Holler.
'Beat and Holler was very much my war cry', explains Mama Kin. 'It felt like such an ultimate heart risk to take, and yet, an inevitable one. That's what the songs in Beat and Holler were imbued with. Whereas with The Magician's Daughter I'm at a very different place with how I feel about my creative expression and the role it plays in my life'.
Lush, and with musical contributions from her brother Michael Caruna, husband John Butler and Emma McCoy on cello, The Magician's Daughter isn't autobiographical as such, but the title certainly has a direct relationship to her family.
'My Mum was the magician's daughter', says Mama Kin. 'Her father was a magician, and she was his assistant for a time. The title of the album is a nod to the idea of the holder of the secrets, holder of stories and the potential for alchemy through music. The idea that people can come to a performance and leave feeling like a different set of possibilities exist is amazing. For me, music holds deep magic, and it all fits so beautifully, so I thought I'd call the album that'.

Been streaming AA NA alpha with Bikeman for awhile now. Still going strong for those interested!
Beautiful graphics, combat is awful and going to be a killer for me. BD / Dragons Nest / C9 has better gameplay >_>
Anyways, I do hope the game succeeds, looks good but just not my cup of tea
A popular streamer, Lirik, has joined us in our streaming!
'na version is always months,years,decades behind.. WTB open beta...
How demanding is it in comparison to say... FFXIV or GW2? With my current hardware I can run both of them fine (as in, decents FPS) in mid, mid-low settings. I'm thinking of upgrading soon-ish, but who knows when that'll be.
Well, I now have Admin on the main English AA wiki.
Going to see if I can leverage an Alpha invite.
GET HYPED! Huge stream planned for today if the stars align. I will be streaming ArcheAge NA alpha with:
And a bunch of other cool dudes. I'll be sure to post the multitwitch link once we begin.
hes a real beaut, repping those sick gunnars. LOL.
How do I gain access to play ArcheAge, it looks amazing. PM me if you have a code or something.
I'm about to start streaming with BikeMan. The others will hopefully join in later today.
I would watch but your voice is sound's equivalent of that icky feeling people get when rubbing a cotton ball between their index finger and thumb.
"....However, as with all things, you will encounter the odd retard and or ******."

Youtube Channel | Twitch | Gaming Blog | Amitabha Gaming Guild
Last nights stream was pretty fun. I ended up getting the attention of most of the active Twitch staff of the time, which in turn were friendly enough to officially back me on Twitter. I also met a few popular streamers who came in to greet me, such as EatMyDiction1. I look forward to streaming later today!

Buffalo, N.Y. - The Canisius College men's and women's cross country teams faced its final challenge of the 2011 season, competing at the 2011 NCAA Northeast Regional Championships at the Amherst Audubon Golf Course on Saturday afternoon. In the men's 10K race, the team finished 28th overall with freshman Chad Maloy, finishing as the top Canisius male in 157th place. The Canisius women occupied 31st overall in the 6K race, as senior Christine Mulvihill was the top Canisius female in 128th place.
In both the men's and women's championships, reigning champion Syracuse swept once again. This marks three straight Northeast Regional Championships for the Orange. Following Syracuse on the men's side was 2011 MAAC Champion Iona and Columbia, while on the women's side, Boston College and Cornell trailed the Orange.
The Canisius men's finish of 28th overall was the second highest finish for the squad under head coach Pete Osmond. Maloy concluded his freshman campaign as theGriffs' top runner for the seventh consecutive race, finishing as the top runner in each race this season. Maloy's time of 34:31.2 placed the freshman, 157th among 240 competitors.
Sophomore Nathan McCabe finished the race 169th in 34:43.1 followed by senior Jonathan McDonald in 173rd in a time of 34:48.0. Freshman Andrew Coy had a strong performance, finishing third among his teammates, while placing 206th overall in 35:57.5. Rounding out the Canisius top-five was junior Alex Simon, who finished 208th in a time of 36:04.6.
On the women's side, Canisius was led by Mulvihill for the fourth time this season, as the senior placed 128th among 243 runners with a time of 23:27.1. Following Mulvihill were the other members of the senior trio, as Jill Shea finished 173rd in 24:10.3 and Julie Dahlkemper placed 182nd in 24:20.6. Rounding out the Golden Griffins' top five on the women's side were sophomore Mikelle Cala in 186th with a time of 24:26.9 and freshman Brandi Pettit, 220th in 25:28.9.

Hi, I'm mattatomic.
I've been a huge Star Wars fan since 70's and always toyed with the idea of making my own props/costumes but never been sure where to start. So I've signed up hoping to make a killer Boba Fett.
I've been looking around since I signed up and have to say that I'm really impressed, both with the quality of work that people are creating and with the community as a whole. I'm looking forward to sharing my progress with everyone and hoping to score a few pointers.

"This is my second time using tinyprints and I love their products. The set-up was easy, the design options are just beautiful and it is very hassle free. I did not think the photo came out very crisp but I also used a photo off my iphone and not something from a professional so that could have been part of the issue. Still I would recommend this company to friends or family."
"Loved the way the invitation came out. Received many compliments on them. Printed return and addressee option made my life SO much easier!"
"This card was the perfect template for my son's baptism invitations. This card had a place to put a photo, we used one of the pictures from his newborn photo shoot and it went perfectly with the colors and layout of the invitation. The quality of the paper was a very heavy card stock and the print quality was top notch. I've received nothing but compliments from everyone who has received the invitation."
"I love it!! It's so easy to design a card. I did couple projects, chose couple pics, used different format of picture. Overall, I did like 5 projects. It was extremely easy. And final product is awesome, exactly what I exoected. Paper has a great quality, it's thick, colors are as u designed online. It was shipped and delivered very fast. I love it! I also ordered books with pages, and other stuff. I can't imagine doing any party without invites from the web. So easy to design and price is great for the quality. I know that my next order will be also from them. Thanks!"
"We absolutely loved our invitations for our daughters baptism! The invitations look exceptional the print and delivery were prompt, we were kept updated with the status throughout, would highly recommend!"

text:
An allusion is a reference to someone or something that is known from history, literature, religion, politics, sports, science, or even some other branch of culture.
Allusion is a tricky little device; you have to know your audience. If I write:
Dexter thought Hilda was a gorgeous creature; he could just imagine her standing at her balcony, pining for him.
…it's all well and good if my reader recognizes the allusion to Romeo and Juliet, but if my reader doesn't, she'll just be left scratching her head—where did Hilda get a balcony?
But if your reader knows what you're alluding to, using allusion is a great way to "show, not tell." For example, I could write:
Abner was a big guy. He was gentle and simple, but if he got upset, he could be terrifying.
OR, using allusion, I could write:
Abner was the kind of guy who you just expected to have a dead mouse in his pocket, just because it felt soft.
If you haven't read Of Mice and Men, you'll have no idea what that means, but if you have read it, you'll have an instant picture of Abner, and all that is implied by his comparison to Lenny in the novel.
If you know that your audience is likely to be Christians with a working knowledge of scripture, you can use biblical allusions, referring to a character as a good Samaritan or saying that a beleaguered character felt as if he'd spent three days in the belly of a whale.
An allusion can be just a few words in a sentence, or an entire piece can allude to another, almost paying homage to it by either satirizing it, or borrowing its style, its characters, or its plot. It can be very direct, mentioning the other word and its author directly. Or it can be quite subtle, as in the first few examples I've given here.
Why might you want to use allusion in your writing?
1. As I mentioned earlier, by using an allusion, you can show rather than tell.
2. It's a way of helping your reader to make connections and to draw some thoughtful conclusions about your characters or their motivations. If I write, Jan said, "I love this tofu lasagna! It's delicious!" She immediately felt her nose, to see if it was growing, my readers can deduce that Jan was, like Pinocchio, telling a lie. It's just a more interesting way of writing it.
3. It can act as foreshadowing. If I describe a character's actions as prodigal¸ my readers may well deduce that he's about to commit some rash and rebellious acts before eventually repenting.
This is the point where I usually link to a challenge entry of my own that illustrates the week's lesson. Unfortunately, I've spent the better part of an afternoon reading through old entries, and I didn't find a single one; apparently it's a literary device that I don't use much (or at all). When I was writing as Addie Pleasance, I wrote one story called "Marmaduke and Mackerel", alluding to the old Marmaduke comic strip, but that particular strip wasn't chosen in any way to help with plot or character—it was just chosen for the alliteration in the title. If I ever start to write again, I'll be more conscious of using allusion to enhance my writing.
Homework (do one, some, or all of these):
1. Write a sentence or two that contains an allusion, preferably something that alludes to a familiar story from literature or culture. See if you can get the allusion to make your passage "show", or to force your reader to experience an aha! moment.
2. Tell why you have chosen to use allusion in your writing, and (if possible) link to an example of it here.
3. Give another example of allusion from something you've read, and tell why it is effective there.
4. Make a comment or ask a question about what I have said about allusion here.

All ARSC Users Required to Complete IA Training by 31 Jan 2006
ARSC, along with our sponsoring agency, the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), supports a recent DoD policy that requires that all users of ARSC computer resources complete Information Assurance (IA) Awareness training. Those users who have not completed this training by 31 Jan 2006 will have their user accounts inactivated on 1 Feb 2006 until the training has been completed.
All ARSC users will need to go to: http://www.arsc.edu/support/policy/ia.html and complete either the DoD IA course or the ARSC IA training by 31 Jan 2006. It should take between 45 minutes and one hour.
Users will receive an additional email, with more details, from ARSC Consulting. Contact email@example.com with any questions.
ARSC Summer Internship Program
The Undergraduate Research Challenge is an internship program for undergraduate students which allows them to spend the summer studying at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Interns will work under the supervision of individual researchers on active projects suited to their interests. Mentors are UAF and/or ARSC faculty and senior staff.
** Application Deadline: March 15, 2006. **
For more information and application materials, go to:
LAPACK and ScaLAPACK on the IBMs
The HPCMP Programming Environment and Training (PET) folks have installed a number of common PET tools on both klondike and iceberg under the directory $PET_HOME. On iceberg, one important package in this suite is the math libraries, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK and the LAPACK Call Conversion Interface.
An installation of LAPACK/ScaLAPACK would be redundant on klondike because Cray implements and optimizes them natively for the X1, and they're included in libsci.
IBM offers high-performance math libraries through ESSL and PESSL, but as described in thousands of previous newsletter articles, while ESSL/PESSL are friendly toward LAPACK/ScaLAPACK, there are differences.
Here's IBM's comment on this situation, from the chapter on "Migrating your programs" in : "Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library for AIX, Version 4 Release 1 Guide and Reference [SA22-7904-01]",http://www.elink.ibmlink.ibm.com/public/applications/publications/cgibin/pbi.cgi?CTY=US&FNC=SRX&PBL=SA22-7904-01#
--- ESSL contains some subroutines that conform to the LAPACK interface. If you are using these subroutines, no coding changes are needed to migrate to ESSL.
Note: You should be aware that there are some ESSL subroutines whose names match those of existing LAPACK subroutines, but whose calling-sequence arguments and functionality are different from those LAPACK subroutines. (See Appendix B, LAPACK, on page 989.)
Additionally, you may be interested in using the Call Conversion Interface (CCI) that is available with LAPACK. The CCI substitutes a call to an ESSL subroutine in place of an LAPACK subroutine whenever an ESSL subroutine provides either functional or near-functional equivalence. Using the CCI allows LAPACK users to obtain the optimized performance of ESSL for an additional subset of LAPACK subroutines. ---
With LAPACK, CCI, and ScaLAPACK installed, it should be easier for some users to port their codes to iceberg. Here are some considerations:
- LAPACK uses should always prefer ESSL when they have a choice. Link first with "-l essl" to see if it works. ESSL version 4 incorporated 22 additional LAPACK routines, so it's increasingly likely ESSL has what you need. Also, ESSL includes most of the BLAS, which is the workhorse for LAPACK, so even if you use routines from LAPACK rather than ESSL you should achieve good performance.
If needed, link with "-l lapack -l essl". "-l lapack" must appear first to give LAPACK CCI a chance to convert your LAPACK calls to ESSL. These four possibilities exist for each subroutines:
- Functionality exists in LAPACK only. [ You'll get the LAPACK object. ]
- Subroutine has same name and argument list [ You'll get the LAPACK object because of link list order . ]
- Subroutine has same name but different argument lists [ You'll get the LAPACK object because of link list order. ]
- Subroutine has different names [ You'll get the ESSL object courtesy of CCI. ]
- ScaLAPACK users have an easier time of it, as PESSL is a subset of ScaLAPACK. Thus, you won't experience differences in subroutine names or argument lists and there's no need for a CCI to convert from ScaLAPACK to PESSL. However, you might find your needed ScaLAPACK subroutine doesn't exist in PESSL, in which case you'll have to link with "-l pessl -l scalapack".
X1: Programming Environment Upgrades
During scheduled downtime on Jan 11, 2006, PrgEnv.new on klondike was upgraded to PE 5.5. Users are encouraged to test their codes under this new environment.
Assuming you're running the default PrgEnv, the following command would switch you to the new environment in the current session:
module switch PrgEnv PrgEnv.new
Please inform ARSC Consulting (firstname.lastname@example.com) of the results of your testing!
Symposium on Distributed and Parallel Computing with MATLAB
March 20-22, 2006
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center will be hosting a symposium on distributed and parallel computing with MATLAB, March 20-22, 2006, on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. The featured speaker will be Cleve Moler, original author of MATLAB and chief scientist at The MathWorks. The event will include a public presentation by Moler, hands-on workshops, and a symposium on parallel computation involving MATLAB with invited guests, panelists and presentations.
The Distributed Computing Toolbox for MATLAB has been available from the MathWorks for a little over a year, and is installed on various systems at ARSC. Moler is a member of a team at the MathWorks that is developing additional parallel computing facilities for a future version of MATLAB. These new features will be previewed at this symposium.
Open Positions at ARSC
ARSC is seeking to fill two positions:
- HPC Specialist (MPP, vector, computational science, etc..)
- HPC Systems Analyst (systems administration, network security, etc...)
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Aaarrgghh! Never mind why, but I stupidly did this: [[ [[ chmod -R 777 progs [[ [[ to my "progs" directory, and now everything, the directories, text [[ files, image files, object files, etc., are all "executable." (What I [[ really wanted was "chmod -R go+rX".) Is there an intelligent way to [[ undo this? "find" can identify directories. You can also use it to remove the execute bit from everything but directories: find progs ! -type d -exec chmod ugo-x {} \; "file" can detect binary executables. (You'll never make this mistake again, so no sense automating this process, right?) You can get the list of executables with the following "find" command and then chmod them in a one-time script or manually: find progs -exec file {} \; grep -i executable Shell scripts and other executables could be handled similarly using information presented by "file" or maybe using file extensions (eg., ".sh"). Q: I tried "nm" on an IBM ".a" file, trying to figure out what routines it contains, but it returns nada: $ file liblapack.a liblapack.a: archive (big format) $ nm liblapack.a $ Is the archive really empty? What's wrong?

here's what I've got:
The rough concept, I've already made some changes, but still the general idea.
This is my Rifle, there are many others like it, but this one is mine!
Jet Pack redesigned. BigaboyFett pointed out in another thread that my sketch jet pack looked similar to McQuarrie's concept. This was unintended, so I've made some revisions, still in the early planning stages.

The bucket concept. The orginal photo was of an ESB bucket i found online, author unknown. I photoshoped it for the sake of reference:
Thats it so far, I'll be posting updates, pics etc. I am as always open to suggestions and criticisms.

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Florida and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

The Australian government is furious at the behavior of welfare parents who refuse to ensure their children will attend school. It is determined to enforce new regulations which wll punish parents who are unwilling or unable to make certain kids are in school. Jenny Macklin, Minister of Families, stated bluntly: "We are saying to parents you have a responsibility to make sure your children attend school regularly." The government is also considering a new plan which would, in effect, close down many rural areas and force people to move into new locations.
The idea that a government could withdraw welfare payments to parents because of the behavior of children is outrageous. A visit to any program dealing with adolescents on drugs reveals they come from all social economic levels, and being unable to control children is not merely a problem for welfare parents, it is for all those with children in their homes. The issue is not parents, it belongs to schools. The responsibility of schools is ensuring they offer programs which intellectually and emotionally engage children. Parents can help, but if they will not, the school must assume the task.

text: Hey guys, I turkey hunt on a property with a few ponds on them and I'm trying to get permission to duck hunt on this land. I need a few tips on scouting ducks though. I can scout for any other animal in GA but I'm clueless on what to do for ducks! Should I just check these 2 ponds for ducks or look for other stuff too? If it helps any, one pond is 2 1/12 acres and has a few large trees that are growing in the pond but there isn't too much cover (I'm sure I could find somewhere to set up.) And the other pond I was looking at is about 2 acres in size and has a lot of cover around the edges. (It's almost completely circled by woods). Would these places be worth hunting? I'll give more information if needed but I just basically needed tips for scouting.

few questions, what do you mean by "limp-wristing"? I am unfamiliar with the term
how large are your hands? I've been looking into the p220 for a little bit now, and from a technical standpoint I like it alot, however I am not at liberty to get my hands on one. Obviously you've ordered it and thus have a good opinion of it, but can you tell me why?

Hi everyone!
Last night was the first time I wore my entire costume and my harness is getting pulled right up to my throat. I made a harness from webbing. one bit to go around my chest/abdomen, and two straps over my shoulders with little lengths of webbing sewn into the top coming off my back to connect to my jetpack. But wearing it, the jetpack pulls the webbing that is meant to go over my chest to my throat. And makes it chokes me a bit, not to mention the strain on my shoulders. How have you guys home-made your harnesses? I have got 3 days to sort out a new one for Comic-Con in London on Sunday!

Water vapour act as a powerful greenhouse gas absorbing long-wave radiation. If the atmospheric water vapour concentration increases as a result of a global warming, then it is expected that it will enhance the greenhouse effect further. It is well known that the rate of evaporation is affected by the temperature and that higher temperatures increase the (saturated) vapour pressure (the Clausius-Clapeyron equation). This process is known as the water vapour feedback. One important difference between water vapour and other greenhouse gases such as CO2 is that the moisture spends only a short time in the atmosphere before being precipitated out, whereas the life time of CO2 in the atmosphere may be longer than 100 years.
Water Vapour Feedback
14 Responses to "Water Vapour Feedback"
I'm not sure that the "short lifetime" of water vapour in the atmosphere is really relevant – after all it is being constantly replenished by evaporation.
It would also be interesting to know the relative overall contribution of water vapour compared with CO2.
[Response: You're right about moisture being replenished, and that's why it's part of a feedback process. The important aspect, I think, is the rate at which misture is being added to the atmosphere versus the rate at which it is being removed. Water vapour is believed to account for the bulk of the greenhouse effect (according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 60%, as opposed to 26% for CO2), but since the accumulation of vapour concentration in the atmosphere is affected by the rate of precipitation whereas the CO2 accumulates more readily, we can be more sure about the effect of CO2-emissions. rasmus-]
"Feedback" is a misnomer. The word you are looking for is "amplifier". A true positive feedback would be exponentially unstable and, the Earth would have turned into a scalding ball of steam whizzing around the Sun eons ago.
[Response:Not so. Even a local positive feedback can be balanced by other negative feedbacks at finite amplitudes which is what happens in the climate system. – gavin]
If the system is continuous and negative feedback dominates, then the system is stable and, you have nothing to worry about.
It isn't feedback because the extra water vapor does not create more CO2, just heat. Thus, there is no feedback loop, just an amplifier effect on the heat.
If the system is not continuous, or highly nonlinear, then the tradeoff between negative and positive feedback will result in a limit cycle.
I'm not trying to be a critic. Just trying to bring your terminology in line with my rather extensive experience with feedback loops.
But, I'm still not convinced there is a feedback loop here. Correct me if I am wrong but, the way I have interpreted what you have written is that CO2 creates heat which creates more water vapor which creates more heat. That is an amplifier effect. If the extra heat creates more CO2 that creates more water vapor and on and on, then you have a feedback loop.
Amplifier or feedback, it's still a bad thing so, don't feel you are giving up anything if what I am saying is correct. I know very little about your climate models, just a lot about feedback.
I'll stop posting now. Sorry for the multiple posts…
Response: The thing to remember is that many different feedbacks (under anyone's definition) operate in the system. Overall, the total feedback for the planet is negative (mostly because of the negative feedback of long-wave radiation increasing with temperature), but there are enough positive feedbacks in the system to allow for significant gain for small perturbations. -gavin]
I'm currently engaged in a discussion with a (person I consider to be a) contrarian. He claims that a paper produced by Minschwanner & Dressler 2004, shows that observations of the increase of Water Vapour are about 1/10 of those used in GCMs, He also claims that this is backed up by work done by Douglas Hoyt, solar physicist.
[Response:I believe that the results presented in that paper turned out to be wrong, as this is the impression I got from an IPCC workshop on climate model analysis in Honolulu March 1-4, 2005. But, I have not seen any papers on it, and I will not yet make a strong statement about this. I anticipate reading more about it in the next IPCC report. -rasmus]
Thus he is contesting that the results of the models show too much warming.
[Response:The GCMs do reproduce the past global mean temperature evolution. See Fig. 4 on p. 11 in IPCC 2001 (summary for policy makers) -rasmus]
Has anyone heard of this? From my (very) basic understanding it's wrong. But my knowledge of evaporation isn't great and I'm unable to find out if he has a point, i.e. I can't refute it.
See also the discussion on Water vapour: feedback or forcing? and further discussion of the IPCC workshop. -rasmus]
Thanks for the prompt reply Rasmus, I'll follow up your leads. To be specific what's being claimed is that Gravity is a factor limiting evaporation that's been overlooked. I find this highly questionable, and it's not covered on RealClimate, but I will pursue it myself.
I've already repeatedly pointed out that 'the model doesn't know whether it's 1900 or 2000' to little effect. That's contrarism. But I don't like leaving this stuff unchallenged.
Once again thanks to you, and to all at RealClimate, this is an invaluable resource.
[Response This is a serious overstatement of the M&D results (which were discussed a little in the other referenced post above). They were looking specifically at the uppermost troposhere, and not at the water vapour feedback in general – which is close to the feedback as simulated by GCMs (see Soden et al – links from previous post). Hoyt's claim that gravity (or more correctly potential energy) limits any increase in water vapour feedback is completely bogus. The potential energy term is simply a energy storage mechanism and is released as soon as the water vapour falls to the ground as rain – there is more than enough kinetic energy to mix almost any amount of water to the stratosphere – the reason why it doesn't get there is due to the sink processes (clouds and rain) not 'gravity'. Argon is heavier than water and is well mixed almost all the way up. – gavin]
It isn't feedback because the extra water vapor does not create more CO2, just heat. Thus, there is no feedback loop, just an amplifier effect on the heat.
The feedback refers to the warming effect. CO2 warming is enhanced by H2O warming feedbacks.
Amber is making an interesting point, which highlights the difficulty some scientists have with the concept of feedback and mathematical chaos. I have just read that, when James Clerk Maxwell first saw James Watt's governor, he said "It is a fine invention, but try as I may, its analysis defies me" [Lovelock, 2006.] So anyone having this difficulty is in good company :-)
The greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide raises the temperature, and that causes more water vapour to evaporate. The greenhouse effect of H2O then acts as an amplifier of the CO2 effect, increasing the temperature further. However, that increase in temperature causes more water vapour, and so the water vapour is in a feedback loop with the surface/atmospheric temperature. The water vapour effect is a feedback, but the carbon dioxide effect is a forcing.
A point to note is that saturated water vapour density increases subexponetially with temperature. Hence the amount of amplification will depend on the initial temperature, mainly the sea surface temperature (SST). Since the SST varies with latitude etc., and does not respond immediately to an increase in the greenhouse effect of CO2 or H2O, it is pretty obvious (at least to me) that the idea of a fixed climate sensitivy is rather ridiculous, since the amplification of the CO2 effect by H2O will vary with the global and local initial temperatures. In other words, although the CO2 effect increases with the logarithm of its concentration, that is not true of the total effect which includes that from H2O.
Cheers, Alastair.

Matthews let Mehlman baselessly assert that Democrat solicited illegal votes in Washington gubernatorial race
On MSNBC's Hardball, Chris Matthews failed to question Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman's baseless assertion that illegal votes helped Democrats win the Washington state gubernatorial election.
On the June 7 edition [1] of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews [2] failed to question Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman [3]'s assertion that illegal votes helped Democrats win the Washington state gubernatorial election. During a discussion about the race [4] for California's 50th Congressional District, in which Republicans claimed [5] that Democratic candidate Francine Busby had encouraged illegal immigrants to vote, Mehlman said "it sounds like [Busby] may have been an adviser to that Washington state candidate for governor." Mehlman was apparently referring to Republican accusations [6] that illegal votes had been cast for Democrat Christine Gregoire, who defeated Republican Dino Rossi in the Washington governor's race in 2004. Matthews allowed Mehlman's reference to go unchallenged. In fact, the judge presiding over the Republican challenge of Gregoire's victory found that Republicans had not proved that even a single illegal vote had been cast for Gregoire.
Later in the program, Matthews declared, "[i]f I were writing the Republican platform right now, I would take that quote" from Busby "and say, 'The Democratic Party believes in voting illegal immigrants to get more votes.' "
Contrary to Mehlman's suggestion that Gregoire owed her victory to illegal votes, the county superior court judge in the case "found that the Republicans failed to prove that Gregoire received one illegal vote among those improperly cast," according to a June 6, 2005, Associated Press article [6]:
In his ruling, [Judge John] Bridges said the GOP failed to make the case for any deliberate, widespread fraud. He rejected the GOP's argument that an analytical technique called "proportional deduction" showed that most of the illegal votes cast in the election went to Gregoire. He also held that even using Republicans' proposed analytical technique, Gregoire still won.
The judge found that the Republicans failed to prove that Gregoire received one illegal vote among those improperly cast. In fact, he said, the only "clear and convincing" evidence he saw was the statements of four felons who said they voted for Rossi and one who said he cast a ballot for a Libertarian candidate.
As Media Matters for America has documented [7], Matthews has referred to Mehlman as "Kenny Boy" and said Mehlman was "very smart."
From the June 7 edition [1] of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: How did you manage to get Francine Busby the Democratic nomination in that seat?
MEHLMAN: We didn't -- we wouldn't have anything to do with that, but look --
MATTHEWS: What did you make -- we just showed the tape, David Shuster just showed that tape of a woman candidate in the United States openly advising people in this country illegally to vote illegally.
MEHLMAN: It sounds like she may have been an adviser to that Washington state candidate for governor or some other places around the country where this has happened in other cases with Democrats.
But the fact is, one thing we know, the American people believe that legal voters should vote and they believe that their right to vote ought to be protected from people that don't have the right to vote.
MATTHEWS: This woman, this candidate of the Democratic Party came out and told Hispanic voters go ahead and vote, you don't need papers. She was encouraging illegal voting right on -- we heard it on the mike.
CHARLIE COOK [editor of the newsletter The Cook Political Report]: Either it encouraged it or it sounded awfully close to it, but it was a stupid thing to say. And to be honest, she was running basically even, even slightly ahead in the polls going into that statement. Frankly, I think it blew the race wide open.
MATTHEWS: Hey, you're being kind. She said you don't need papers. What else could she have meant?
COOK: Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm just, you know.
MATTHEWS: She was urging people to break the law. They are breaking law getting in the country. Now she says break the law again by voting, and she's carrying the banner of the Democratic Party.
COOK: It was a stupid thing to say.
MATTHEWS: She's running again in November.
COOK: Here's the danger for Democrats. This is the best political mood for them since Watergate. And yet, they don't have that many really good candidates around the country. They've got a lot of people that are fairly inexperienced candidates, like Francine Busby, who are capable of screwing up even when they've got a golden opportunity to win. And you just saw it.
MATTHEWS: Hey, look. If I were writing the Republican platform right now, I'd take that quote from her on tape and use it in all those races out there and say, "The Democratic Party believes in voting illegal immigrants to get more votes."
