HelioClim-3 Real time data and forecast
The HelioClim-3 (version 4) Persistence Forecast is based on the "persistence of Kc". We remind that the Kc index corresponds to the Global Horizontal component divided by the GHI in clear sky conditions (GHI/GHI_cls). You may see it as the "percentage of clouds". This method computes the last available Kc value and extend this value for the remaining slots of the day, taking into account of course the time of the day. As a consequence, at least one slot of the day should be available. The HelioClim-3v4 Persistence Forecast predicts the current day and is available only after sunrise.
The HelioClim-3v4 Similarity Persistence has been developed to predict irradiance for the next day based on a statistical study of the long term HelioClim-3 irradiation database. This algorithm searches in the past for the most similar days to the current day of interest and uses their following days to produce a forecast. The HelioClim-3v4 Similarity Forecast predicts tomorrow and is available after today's sunset.
NB: HelioClim-3v5 can not be available in real time and forecast since the data are only available at d-2.
This web service provides time series of all the components of the radiation over a horizontal, fix-tilted and normal plane for the actual weather conditions and for clear-sky conditions. The geographical coverage corresponds to the Meteosat field of view, i.e. covers Europe, Africa, Atlantic Ocean, Middle East. Data are available with a time step ranging from 15 min to 1 hour.

The question left me wondering if perhaps she had a point. I mean, what can you really do to fill up the time each and every day when you're just in that one little space? Maybe Larry would get bored on the boat. Maybe I would too Boy, was I wrong!
If nothing else our new sailing life has provided us with a never-ending outlet to explore our do-it-yourself talents. One of the unexpected bonuses we have discovered is the daily reward we reap of being self-sufficient. Maybe it has some basis from a primordial urge of man against nature. Whatever it is, it certainly does the trick of making sure that both Larry and I are fulfilled and certainly never bored on the boat.
We derive tremendous satisfaction from cruising around as a completely self-contained unit. We could spend months alone, if we wanted to, and never need to touch shore or rely on anyone else. Everything we need is either already on the boat or we can fabricate it ourselves.
Larry's pride and joy on the boat is the "power plant." He rigged a large 120-watt solar panel along with a wind generator, and these contribute greatly to keeping us fully charged. The addition of an amp-hour meter has kept Larry happily monitoring the daily workings of his own personal harnessing of nature's powers.
Once you leave that dock you'll discover never-ending things that come up. But don't be alarmed. They're not necessarily bad things, just things you would like to change or adapt to better fit your personal use. For instance, you may find that your protection from the wind, water or sun is not as good as it needs to be. What are you going to do about it hundreds of miles from home?
There simply is no marine supply store, canvas maker or even K-Mart in many of the places you will want to cruise. Combine this with the new cruising-budget mentality (you just can't afford to pay others to do everything for you), and you'll soon realize why we've found a necessity to improvise and make the things we need ourselves.
We now look at scraps of plastic, old sails and other odds and ends with new eyes. Two years ago all of these items would have been in the trash without hesitation and we'd be running down to the store with our credit card buying all new stuff. But now we see all kinds of possibilities, which we view as treasures, and stash these finds in our "future projects" box.
The day after a big line squall came hit Charleston, South Carolina, we found ourselves reduced to Dumpster diving. We noticed a Tartan 37 mainsail had been discarded after not surviving the storm. We pulled out the sail from the Dumpster, quickly assessed the damage and discovered that there was plenty of good useable sailcloth. Hoping no one was watching, we folded it up and stowed it away on Safari. To date from that one sail we have made: covers for our life raft, the outboard, the engine lifter; a valise for our folded charts and a stylish dodger for our inflatable dinghy. Since then we've acquired other discarded sails from sailmakers and have countless other projects in mind for this cloth, including a full sun awning for the boat. We've learned how to use the sewing machine to a level beyond our expectations, and discovered that installing grommets is easy and downright fun.
I've found great joy in finding out that custom woodwork isn't hard to create if you've got the time and patience. The number of things I used to think only a professional could do have vastly diminished. Now the project possibilities are endless and I feel as if many are within our means. With the right tools and a little bit of elbow grease, you will be able to produce things that would amaze your friends.
Food is another whole area of self-sufficiency. On top of properly provisioning the boat, there is the fun of supplementing the provisions with freshly caught seafood several times a week. (See Fishing While You Cruise article). We bake all our own bread, crackers and pretzels, and even grow our own sprouts to add to the fresh vegetable supply.
But it's certainly not all work. While Larry and I always seem to find projects on the boat, that's part of our nature. We like doing things and derive great satisfaction from the finished product. But there are times that we just "veg" out and spend entire days doing nothing but reading and eating. I think the cruising lifestyle promotes and encourages the pioneer spirit in most people. For us, it has been a healthy combination of the two.
Fortunately to date we haven't had any emergency situations or breakdowns on Safari that have required our newfound skills of improvisation. We feel, however, that our day will come when these projects will have helped train our minds to think and work logically to solve more serious problem. That could well be when we're truly isolated and unable to rely on outside help. In the meantime, we're having lots of fun just figuring out how to do new things.

On Monday, Arsène Wenger paid this tribute to Wales manager Gary Speed, who died at the weekend:
"It was a shock of course. I did not know him very well as a person but you did not like to see him on the team against you. You knew he was a great player - very good in the air, fantastic work-rate and very intelligent on the football pitch.
"As a manager he had started to turn things around for Wales. We know they have a young promising team and he was the ideal figure to go with this side from improvement to improvement.
"It is extremely sad. I am speechless when confronted by things like this. All we can do is express our condolences to his friends and his family."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Carrying without a round in the chamber is definitely not the answer.
A holster covers the trigger guard, preventing anything at all from causing the gun to fire while in the holster. During a draw, your motions go against those that would cause anything to "get in there" and pull the trigger (except for your finger). If anything, something like this could happen when holstering the weapon, which if done properly, this still would never happen.
This is an "issue" that bothers some people, and I say maybe these types of weapons just aren't for you. If a firearm with a manual safety would make you more comfortable, than purchase a different carry weapon. There's no sense in walking around uncomfortable, when there's an easy remedy (purchase a different firearm). The gun won't go bang unless the trigger is pulled. A gun in a holster sitting on a table, in a safe, in a drawer, in your pants or anywhere will not fire unless the gun is removed and the trigger is pulled. Basically, you need to make the decision of whether you're comfortable enough carrying the firearm. If not, you should change it.
P.S. - If you'd feel safer carrying an XD, let me know.

About Our Suppliers
All of our products have some feature that may make them appealing to conscientious consumers, but those features vary. The following key provides a quick means of assessing whether a given supplier accords with your own consumer values and interests.
L = locally grown and/or produced
LB = a local business (some products or ingredients may come from outside the state)
C = Community-oriented business
O = organically grown or produced
FR = free-range and growth-hormone-free
FT = Fairly traded
Andelain Fields (L, C, FR)
5545 Ballentine Pike
Springfield, OH 45502
Clark County
Phone: (937) 408-7163
Email: email@example.com
Web page: http://www.andelainfields.com/
Those familiar with the Springfield Farmer's Market (which runs on Saturdays, 9:00-1:00 at the Heritage Center) will likely know Ed and Sherry Chen. Both Ed and Sherry, who own and run Andelain Fields, have been energetic in promoting the community market and the local food movement more generally in our area (which is why this supplier earns a "C" among its descriptors). Located just 9 miles northwest of campus, Andelain Fields provides the area with quality free-range chickens fed with organic grains.
Bowman Landes (L, FR)
6490 E. Ross Road
New Carlisle, Ohio 45344
Clark County
Phone: 937-845-9466
Email: email@example.com
Web page: http://www.bowmanlandes.com
Bowman Landes has been providing free-range, grain-fed, and growth-hormone-free turkeys since 1948. Long before environmental concerns were widespread, this company's efforts to provide quality birds to discriminating consumers led them to avoid practices that would have altered the flavor of the meat. As it turns out, their long practice of closely managing the food they give their birds also has a beneficial environmental effect since the feed, which is grown at the Bowman Landes Farm, is also locally produced.
The Dollingers (L, O)
Cathie Dollinger is known to most people in the Wittenberg community as the dependable and efficient coordinator in the Assistant Provost's office, but she and her husband Gary also manage to run a family farm, one that produces no small number of delicious, organic chicken eggs. And while the farm itself qualifies as local, the fact that Cathie brings her cartons to campus in her daily commute means that these eggs are officially the most carbon neutral product we offer: no additional miles were traveled in bringing these cartons to the distribution point. Unfortunately, Cathie and Gary are never sure how many eggs their chickens will produce in any given week, so there are no advance orders for this product. The eggs will, however, be available on distribution days on a first-come-first-served basis.
Freshwater Farms (L)
Urbana, OH 43078-9537
Champaign County
Phone: (937) 652-3701 or (800) 634-7434
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Freshwater Farms is the largest indoor fish hatchery in Ohio, and that capacity allows this Urbana operation to provide this region with locally raised rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, and catfish. It's true that the debate about the environmental soundness of wild versus farm-raised fish continues to rage—advocates of the former point to the risk of disease in fish restricted to small spaces and fed on a diet of pellets while the proponents of farm-raising note the problem of overfishing our open waters—but there's no question that Freshwater Farms is our best source for local seafood.
Heini's (L)
6005 County Road 77
Millersburg, OH 44654
Holmes County
Phone: (800) 253-6636
Email: email@example.com
Web page: http://www.heinis.com/index.html
Established in 1935, Heini's has specialized in cheeses produced in Ohio's Amish country, and to this day most of their staff is Amish. The Amish connection means that even if the products don't always qualify as organic, they are produced with all natural ingredients and their livestock are free of artificial growth hormones. All their cheeses and yogurts are produced at their Millersburg location, which is about 160 miles northeast of campus.
Huck's Orchard (L)
556 New Love Road
South Charleston, OH 45368
Clark County
Phone: (937) 568-5459
Huck's Orchard is a local grower offering over 50 varieties of apples as well as some cherries, peaches, and pumpkins. The produce at this orchard, located just 9 miles from campus, is not organically grown, but Huck's Orchard does not use chemical fertilizers and limits pesticide use to six-week cycles. Huck's also provides the co-op with some excellent cider in season, though be advised that this beverage is of the non-pasteurized sort which can be a problem for toddlers and for other folks with sensitive stomachs.
Ike's Bees (L)
Williamsport, OH
Pickaway County
Wittenberg alum and cross-country standout Isaac Barnes ('99) is known to many people as the winner of the 2007 Flying Pig Marathon, finishing with a 2:33 time, but to coop buyers, he's known primarily for providing high quality local honey. While the honey isn't officially organic—a designation which demands that beekeepers control where the bees gather their pollen—Isaac uses no chemical pesticides and relies on garlic and mineral oil to control mites. And the bees in his apiary, located near Williamsport, are doing their work about 50 miles from campus.
Mohr Animal Acres (L, O, FR )
1262 West State
Urbana, OH 43078
Champaign County
Phone: (937) 484-5950
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Web page: http://www.mohranimalacres.biz/Home_Page.php
Mohr Animal Acres was established explicitly to provide consumers with organic, humanely raised animal products including pork, poultry, beef, and lamb. The company has also begun producing cheese which could qualify as semi-local since the dairy comes from their own cows in Urbana but then takes a short trip to Berne, Indiana, where it is cultured and returned. That's about 180 miles round trip, which is still a tenth of the distance traveled by much of the food that reaches our plates—and far less than those imported cheeses in the supermarket.
On the Rise (L, C, FR)
4177 Dialton Rd.
Springfield, OH 45502
Clark County
Phone: (937) 964-1402
On the Rise will be familiar to many on Wittenberg's campus as a favorite community service opportunity for students, but this fine organization is also now a supplier for the co-op. Located about 9 miles northwest of campus, On the Rise helps at-risk youth in Springfield City Schools by teaching them how to raise chickens, goats, and a handful of other farm animals. In the process of being immersed in a 4-H kind of situation, the students have opportunities to reflect on their experiences both on and off of the farm, and they learn the key role that responsibility plays in making a farm work. That responsibility gets its reward when the products the students helped to create actually go to market and get purchased. In order to provide some of that reward while also promoting another good source for local food, the coop is offering On the Rise bratwurst. These brats are made from goat's meat, which is a much leaner source of protein than most red meats because the fat tends to stay around the periphery rather than getting marbled within the meat itself.
Peifer Orchards (L)
4590 US 68 North
Yellow Springs, OH 45387
Greene County
Phone: (937) 767-2208
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Web page: http://www.peiferorchards.com
Peifer Orchards traffics mainly in apples, 25 different varieties of them grown in orchards about 10 miles south of campus, and the cider squeezed from those apples later in the fall is pretty wonderful. The owner, John Peifer, and his two slightly obese chocolate labs, also tend a storefront just north of Yellow Springs on route 68 that offers a good selection of other Ohio-based products such as Amish butters, jams, honey, and maple syrup.
Running Bare Ranch (L, O, FR)
5656 Fletcher Chapel Rd.
Springfield, OH 45502
Clark County
Phone: (937) 325-9455
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Running Bare has been offering organic, free-range bison meats to consumers and finer restaurants in this area since its inception in 2001. In fact, if you see bison on a menu at Seasons Bistro, Cecil and Lime, or The Winds, you can pretty much guarantee the meat is coming from this ranch, which is located just 7 ½ miles southeast of campus.
Sacred Grounds Organic Coffee Roasters (O)
65 Ericson Court #3
Arcata, CA 95521
Phone: (800) 425-2532
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Web page: http://www.sacred-grounds.com/index.html
Sacred Grounds is not a local business, but then when you're dealing with coffee, nothing is going to be all that local. There is a strong Wittenberg connection, however, in Beth Heiliger Dominick, an alumnus who owns the company and serves as the roastmaster. Since 1997, when Beth graduated, the company has specialized in high-quality organic beans, and while the coffee isn't certified as Fair Trade (for reasons that can be found on the Sacred Grounds website), the company does have an expressed policy of promoting equitable trade.
The Spice Rack and Bulk Foods (LB, O)
5544 S. Iddings Rd.
West Milton, OH 45383
Miami County
Phone: (937) 698-5783
The Spice Rack is a small, locally owned retailer who provides the coop with a good many of its organic grains, pastas, and snacks. Located south of Dayton, this retailer brings its products a bit closer to campus every Saturday when it takes part in the Second Street Public Market in downtown Dayton.
Three Sisters Farm (L, O)
Williamsport, Ohio
The THREE SISTERS FARM sells fresh produce at farm markets during the warmer months, but organic farmers Adrienne, Becky, and Jayne Barnes continue to offer their soaps, handmade from natural ingredients, all year long. Use them yourself, give them as gifts. They smell great! At least two of the sisters are Witt alums.
Un Mundo Café (LB, C, O, FT)
800 W. Main St.
Springfield, OH 45504
Clark County
Phone: (937) 323-8355
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Web page: http://www.unmundocafe.com/
Un Mundo Café is a unique Springfield business, one that grew out of several different visions. The building itself is a former bar in an area of town that has its share of economic struggles. That building was purchased by Rev. Bill McKee, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, which is located adjacent to Wittenberg's campus on Fountain. When the café opened its doors in 2006, the management was handed to over to Diana Cuy-Castellanos who brought with her some personal connections to coffee growers in Guatemala. The business is now managed by her sister, Denise Anantharaman, and the proceeds from its business go to support Springfield's Children's Rescue Center, which supports the after-school program The Ark, among other social services in the area. All the coffee at Un Mundo is organic, fairly traded, and roasted in Cincinnati.

On Olden Pond (ハクリューの湖! The Lake of Dragonair!) is the 7th episode of Pokémon: Battle Frontier.
Episode Plot
The gang is going to the Battle Dome. May looks upon her egg and her ribbon, while Ash trains his Pikachu. Pikachu uses Volt Tackle, but Pikachu fails. May tells him to relax, while Max sees that there is a lake nearby. They are shocked when they arrived - the lake is deserted. They also see the boathouse deserted, though they are allowed to use the fishing poles, to which they do. Brock tells them they need to be relaxed to catch a fish, to which Ash is too relaxed - he falls asleep, but soon wakes up. Suddenly, he gets something, but it is heavy, so May, Brock, Max and Pikachu grab Ash. Ash manages to bring the thing out - it is a giant Crawdaunt.
Ash sends Corphish to battle Crawdaunt. Crawdaunt charges with ViceGrip, so Corphish does the same. Still, Crawdaunt is more powerful, so Corphish is attacked. Crawdaunt uses Crabhammer, so Corphish does the same, but as before, Corphish gets hit. Crawdaunt uses Bubblebeam, so Corphish retaliates with the same attack, but gets hurt. Crawdaunt destroys the fishing poles, so a woman comes to get it away, to which Crawdaunt goes back to the lake. Brock flirts with the woman, named Tiffany, so Max pulls his ear. They apologize for getting the fishing poles, to which she does not matter if they did. She tells them the lake was beautiful and was a popular place for fishing, until one day men came to convert the place to a spa. She told them to leave, to which they did. However, the Crawdaunt came and terrorized the people, so they left. Ash vows to get Crawdaunt out, using Corphish.
Suddenly, an older woman (who is Tiffany's grandma) disagrees with them. Still, with their confidence, grandma thinks there is a possibility. Ash, May, Max and Brock go to search for Crawdaunt. Soon, Brock and Tiffany spot Crawdaunt going in a cave, so Brock sends Marshtomp to warn the others. Crawdaunt comes to the men and is offered food as a reward. The gang has arrived, so Tiffany identifies the men to be the same ones from her story. Team Rocket, dressed as businessmen, see the area, but want something to eat first, so the man orders to get food. The man tells to take care of the boathouse, so Tiffany tells them they will not. Ash and Tiffany accuse the man for sending Crawdaunt to scare people, so the man acts dumb as he offered it food. Ash wants to battle, so the man tells if Ash wins, they will leave, but if he wins, he will get the lake and the boathouse.
The fight will be tomorrow, though the man tells them he will have the filthy lake. He was fishing once and was dragged to the bottom of the lake. He was trapped in the line of the fishing pole and almost went out of air. He survived, but he does not know how. Still, he wants to get the lake for his own needs. Later, Ash trains his Pokémon - Pikachu charges with Volt Tackle and Corphish uses Crabhammer, so they bounce off. Grandma tells them he will not win - she sends Vaporeon as a challenge. Corphish uses Crabhammer, though Vaporeon dodges. Corphish goes after it and attacks, but Vaporeon uses Acid Armor, vanishing. Next, Vaporeon uses Quick Attack, damaging Corphish. Corphish stands up, but is engulfed in lake grass. Vaporeon uses Hydro Pump, pushing Corphish on rocks and defeating him. Grandma tells Ash Corphish is powerful, but Crawdaunt is much more powerful, so Ash needs to adapt to the battle field and the situation he is in. Ash tells Corphish they will have to train.
Next day, the man comes with Crawdaunt. Corphish starts with Crabhammer and Crawdaunt does the same, but this time the powers are matched. Corphish uses BubbleBeam and Crawdaunt does the same, but Crawdaunt is more powerful, so Corphish moves away. Crawdaunt uses ViceGrip, but Corphish dives in, evading the attack and hurting Crawdaunt with Crabhammer. Crawdaunt charges with ViceGrip, but Corphish protects himself and retaliates with Crabhammer, pushing it onto a rock. Suddenly, Crawdaunt and Pikachu are taken by Team Rocket! They fly away, so everyone goes to get the Pokémon back. Corphish uses BubbleBeam, Squirtle uses Bubble and Marshtomp uses Mudshot, but Team Rocket dodge. Squirtle goes on top of Corphish and is launched, so Squirtle uses Rapid Spin, but there is not much effect done.
Marshtomp uses Water Gun, keeping Squirtle on the air. Squirtle uses Rapid Spin, and along with Corphish's Bubble Beam, destroys the machine. Pikachu and Crawdaunt come back, but the machine is thrown in water and Team Rocket is blasted off. Everyone is washed on shire, except for the man. Grandma goes to rescue him, to which she and a Dragonair succeed. The man remembers that they did the same before when he was a child. The man asks why did she rescue him, so she replies it was for the love of the lake. The man thanks Dragonair, who goes into the water. Ash reminds him of the battle, but the man cancels it - Tiffany and her grandma can have the lake.
They all hear Dragonair's roar - the Water Pokémon, who left, return to the lake.
- Team Rocket's mecha bears a striking resemblance to ED-209, a robot from the RoboCop franchise.
- The Japanese title was originally ハクリュウの湖, but this was changed the day after AG151 aired to have the correct spelling of Dragonair's Japanese name, ハクリュー.
- A short 5-second countdown with animation based on the Advance Adventure opening is pretended to the broadcast.
- The OP animation changes a third time:
- The Team Rocket scene now includes Jessie's Dustox, but Weavile is removed.
- The Mew and Lucario scene is replaced with a scene based on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
- This was most likely done as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon was released in Japan on the same day as this episode premiered.
- The dub title is a reference to the 1981 film On Golden Pond.
During the battle, Ash has Corphish dive underwater to dodge ViceGrip. Less than a second later, Crawdaunt lands on exactly the same spot where Corphish was able to be completely submerged and the water only comes up a few inches, thus having Crawdaunt stand on water.

Discussion in 'November 2010' started by roscoe36, Oct 19, 2010.
It's been a while since someone had a double-double with rebounds and assists only.
After seeing Monroe play - specifically against ATL which I missed - does anyone think he could play the 4? If yes, they should start him and move Daye back to the 3. At this point I might start him at the 5 if he can't run the 4 spot.
Stuckey is questionable for tonight - Coach's decisionRip is supposed to be back in actionBynum is a game-time decisionStuckey might not play tonight for Pistons | freep.com | Detroit Free Press
You left out Bad Back Wilcox. He's out with a hamstring. He was probably placing undo strain on it from the bad back. Here is a commenter from the article you linked:
"Bad Hamstring Wilcox" just doesn't have the same ring to it. ...Speaking of nicknames, I think "Silver Spoon" is a pretty good one to add to the list of nicks for Rodney Stuckey (aka: Young 50, Runnin' Rodney, Super Collider, Jogging Rodney, Joggernaught, etc.).
I was just thinking the same thing. I was trying to figure out a way to work Richard Schroder into it. Silver Spoon aka Ricky Stratton.
But it will still be nice to see Larry. I love Larry Brown.
Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
Good win. Ground it out at the end. Charlotte has the players, they just cant seem to get it together. Tyrus Thomas is so overrated...
Pistons win!!! Some really good play during the first half, in particular by T-Mac. He looks better and better. Looked like the collapse was upon us again in the third and parts of the fourth but we managed to ride it out. G-Mon made a few big plays when it mattered and Bengo was shooting his lights out. However the smallball unit had nothing on their 3-point game so it looked pretty shaky defensivily for a while. GO PISTONS!
I will leave it to someone else to start the Trade Stuckey and Max thread, but we finally got the monkey off our backs with a much needed victory. It almost looked like a Piston redux as they blew a 22 point lead as the Bobcats erased it all the way down to 61-60 with less than 3 mins in the third, before the Pistons woke up and closed out the third on a 11-4 run to lead 72-64. As they open the fourth there were nervous fans at the palace, in the chat room and the homes on both the Dumars and Kuester families as they knew daddy would not be in a good mood if they loss this one after playing their best quarter of the season in the first and almost blowing another second half double digit lead. In chat we yelled for Kuester to pull Bynum, who was at one point singlehandedly keeping the Bcats in the game. But Tmac who was great starting in place of Stuckey had already given us 23 minutes and was in rubdown mode and obviously done for the night. Bynum redeemed himself and his coach by weaving in for a nice hoop in crunch time and made his FT's down the stretch. Rip coming off the bench will do if he is to stay around. He was deadly at the FT line going 11-11 and lead the Pistons to their best FT shooting of the young season going 26-27 and believe me they needed everyone of them as the our poor three point perimeter defense almost loss this one in the end. Except for the 2-2 tie at the beginning, the Pistons led wire to wire. Once again Monroe looked good with 9 pts, 6 brds, one assist and one block...sorry but not sure if my Facebook friend JMax could have given us those stats. Stuckey was dressed and they did show him yawning down the stretch and he did come out and hi-five his team some encouragement during a late time out. Meaningless stat of the night....Piston 6 assists in the first qtr, 8 the rest of the game for a total of 14......Ben led the team with four assists, all in the first qtr.... the Bobcats finished with 28.
Now this is one seriously good write up, thanks.
Hey,! we got the monkey off our back ! 28 assists for Bobs and only 90 pt. Kind of sounds like they coundn't do anything unless they found the open man. TMac sighting, it's all good.
Of note, we won. Wow. Great to see a win. Any win. Even against the now 1-4 Bobcats. They started Mohammed at center, such a light weight that even our thin front line could contend with them. But Larry Brown wizened up in the 2nd half and put in a couple of better defenders to start the 2nd half. And then, the Pistons simply could not score. It did not help that Tay had played most of the first half, that TMAC had nearly maxed out in knee minutes already for the past couple of days, that our point guard was benched, that JMAX is not playing for some reason, that Ben Wallace is just getting old,etc. All the team's problems surfaced in that 3rd quarter where a once 22 point lead shrank to just 1. Q did make an adjustment. He took out Daye real early in the 3rd, the guy who was plus 17 in his 17 minutes in the game to that point, and put in CV. Which of course just fueled Charlotte's comeback even more. CV redeemed himself though with 2 clutch 3 pointers to end the 3rd quarter and help us avoid complete and total embarrassment. The last 3 by CV was really something, going in as the buzzer sounded. We had like 4 seconds to get the ball up the floor, and get the shot. CV took his time, got almost right to the 3 line, and nailed the shot. Rip Hamilton managed 11 for 11 at the line. And this was not his old game of hey, let the rest of the team adjust to his game. Nope, it was Rip actually going inside and drawing fouls. Rip did hit a three too. Nothing wrong with a set 3 from Rip on occasion, just as long as he keeps going inside a lot like this game. On that note. TMAC looked real good going inside and scoring for us in that 1st quarter as we shot out to a 41-19 lead. Tay looked like he wanted to shake off the weight of the world in that 1st half of play. With Rip out of the starting unit, a great op for Tay to step up. But Tay can only step up for so long. He is playing too many minutes, and these 2nd quarter collapses are largely due to this. Q has got to find a way to limit Tay's minutes going forward. Anyway, Tay did drive in many times for scores, and also worked at midrange to shake off his guy and knock down shots. Much needed points. Down the stretch, what was Kuester thinking. Small ball. Monroe, Tay, Rip, Gordon, Bynum. To his credit though, you don't see CV in that list. All I see from Monroe is hustle. And a guy with some serious size on our front line. In all, these rotations are nuts - but at least the other team can't figure what we are going to do game to game. What if the next team does not focus on stopping Stuckey from driving in in their practice. Gordon looks as steady as a rock shooting the ball. Just like last season before the injuries started. And if you play him close, he drives. Just love his game. Play of the game - Rip driving in with 1 minute to go and making the conventional 3 point play. Both for its timeliness, and for being the right way to play basketball. Tonight concludes an absolute awful stretch of game scheduling to start the season. The Pistons, for the first time this season, both had a day off before the game, and get the day off after the game. Next game Sunday at 6. Bynum played, and yes, for sure, it gives the other team a great advantage to have a player out there that everyone else has to cover for. Still, he made a few plays to help out, and we needed somebody for sure to bring the ball up. (Another chore killing Tay's legs.) If Bynum was not out there, than either of Tay or TMAC was taking the ball up. Once in a while, Gordon takes the ball up. Gordon spread his scoring out in this one, saving some for the 2nd half. Summers did not play. Just caught in the shuffle I suppose. It would have probably helped if he played in this game, both early in the 1st and 3rd quarters, for Tay. Daye started off early knocking down a pair of 3's. Just an excellent game from him. But soon after the start of the 2nd half, where Charlotte went to a tougher front line, Daye got pulled not to return. I do not recall him playing much, if any, at other than power forward tonight.
I know tonight's games decisions doesn't mean this but.. What if we trade Stuckey and Maxiell ??? I know there are some teams that would like to have them both..
I liked our starting lineup...got us a huge lead: PG - TMac SG - Ben Gordon SF - Tay PF - Daye C - Ben
Good recap Lee...I too was concerned about Tay in the second qtr too as he was trying to do it all and never tried to pass to anyone..he looked winded....even when Q called a time out with Tay bringing it up the floor looking for that last shot. After the time our Gordon had the ball, passed it to a beat up Tay who missed that last shot. Kelser said he was trying to be aggressive, but looks like he was taking away from the nice first quarter they had with the nice passing and ez scoring.
First of all, great to have a win. Just some observations:when we have no PG in the game, there is no probing of the defense. It just becomes passing from station to station or shake and bake perimeter jumpers. It's a bad sign when your defensive specialist center has twice as many assists as the next best guy. The good news was that everyone in the lineup had at least 1 assist, except for Daye.We are going to get out blocked on a regular basis for the next few years.As Lee mentioned, Daye + 17 in 17 minutes as a starter, and then we go away from him when it matters.Not only did Ben lead the team in assists, but also in steals with 4! Who was the last NBA center to accomplish that feat? Very tough to do.Monroe is a surprisingly good rebounder and I think that I'm starting to realize why. 1) he boxes out, 2) he has good anticipation, and 3) extremely sure hands. He has anti-Kwame paws. If Laimbeer could board with no hops, then this guy is capable. He has a competitive streak in him, you can tell.Strange rebounding game. Ben and Monroe each had 6 in moderate minutes. Except for CV with 1, almost every other player had 3 boards. Great support from the guards especially with a couple of memorable snags by BG and WB.27 to 11 in FTA's for us. Unusually high differential in our favor. The refs were really letting the guys play in the first half and they tightened it up a bit in the 2nd. I love watching bball like that where is just flows. I only remember 2 trips to the line in the first quarter by both teams.
one of the sparsest crowds i've ever seen at the start of a game, but it filled up decently by the end. fun game to be at as the pistons played one of the best quarters i've seen in a long time with that display in the 1st - sharing the ball, knocking down open jumpers...it was fun. great to see daye more comfortable, and great to see monroe improving. it looks like he gets it in that hustle and rebounding will keep him getting minutes.
Ben had a triple 4? 4 pts, 4 steals and 4 assists

Thank you for all of the learning suggestions! I really appreciate the advice and anything else people would like to add
Also a strong portfolio and/or internship experience will absolutely help get you in the door. In the end, you either "get" programming or you don't and nowadays most companies have technical screenings nowadays that do a decent job of determining whether you are in the former group or the latter. So it is either a formal education in the form of degree or some combination of work/internship experience + a strong portfolio.
In other words, while I'm an advocate of schooling you can definitely get in without it nowadays. Just don't lie and say you have a degree when you don't (you'll be surprised how many people do that) because they will almost certainly run a background check and find out the truth anyway.
My sister is a web developer for a huge National NGO. if you PM me, I can give you her contact info. She is constantly taking classes to stay on top of technology. But she works full time, so it's night classes or online. But I know she would be willing to talk to you. She is very good at what she does.

I'm actually a professional software developer and have done a lot of web development. I would highly recommend the online solutions such as Code Academy or Code School or any one of those to get started.
Then, you can go to Coursera or Udacity to learn the most important concepts.
There are also code bootcamps out there where you build an app / website in a weekend.
Look, in all honestly there is absolutely no substitute to a traditional CS degree along with a lot of programming experience. You will never learn the fundamentals that become important heuristics in your day to day programming decisions.
With that said, for simple web development or working at a web dev shop as a designer / developer you can certainly get opportunities your way doing the above. Just don't expect to walk into Microsoft with a weekend app and expect to get hired.
Either way, good luck! Being able to write code is one of the single most important skills to ensure job security in the near future. IMO. But my opinion is skewed
I'd recommend Code Academy. I've used it over the last few years to learn the "new stuff" on the scene.. that link has the learning track for website design.
I've had great luck with their programs and have also worked with a number of people that are self-taught with CA as a central part of their learning.
You'll need/want to supplement this eventually with other stuff (like learning WordPress), but it's a great place to start and probably a really good foundation.
|I don't do much web development but I work in IT as a Network Admin. I agree youtube is an incredible resource for learning things even though you do have to weed out some of the videos. There is a resource called Lynda.com which is $25 a month and has a ton of tutorial videos. Sometimes they can be not the highest level training and some can be overbearing, like a 9 hour course in excel. The good thing about that site is the videos are broken down in to segments so you can just look at the part you want. I have an account through work and there are hundreds of hours of CS tutorials on there. You could always pull up the class you want and just skip to the section that you need some help with.
Haha yeah I'm actually trying to get out of photography. Turns out rocks and wildlife don't pay for portraits and brides make me crazy.
Thanks for the advice! If anyone else out here does web development too, I'd love to hear more
I'll do it all. Web, print, photography, design. You name it, I've dabbled in it.
The best thing I can recommend.
Always look at other peoples work. Get inspired.
Always look on google and youtube. Best advice and tutorials out there. Thousands.
I like a website called W3 school, they have a lot of information on there for HTML and what not.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials
Best thing you can do to get a job in this field, is start by experimenting with your very own website and make a awesome one. No one will hire a web/designer if their own site looks like crap (in my experience and opinion).
And the next thing you can do, barter. I've made quite a bit of barters where I've helped out other people with design and/or building them a website in exchange for a product they offer. I've done fire wood, I've done training classes, heck, thats how I got my last dog
Put yourself out there and don't be afraid of rejection.
Is anyone here a web developer?
So i'm at that very painful part of life where you realize your expensive art degree is worth pretty much nil and if you don't figure something else out soon, you'll still be serving coffee when you're forty. Soooo I'm trying to figure something else out, and I'm thinking web development would be a good path. I love design (art major after all), but I also loved the Java class I took as an elective and the Python track I completed on Code Academy.
The problem is I don't have the time or money to get a traditional CS degree. (Well I have time, just not in regular chunks since I need my irregular coffee shop schedule to pay bills and such.) So I've been looking at various was to learn cheaply online, specifically Treehouse and Thinkful. My main concern is that these options won't actually make me ready for the job market. If I'm going to spend money (again) on education, I really want to see some kind of ROI.
I'm curious if anyone has actually used these services and gotten a job? Or if you're a web developer, if you have any suggestions about how to learn cheaply & quickly (month-wise not day-wise as I realize I'll have to put in a ton of hours to catch up with all the four year degree people) and get a job? Really any advice about how to break into this field would be helpful

Lilie, that is a good point about pressure. I don't think she is stressed out from being at work, but I will be on the look out for signs she is getting overwhelmed. I have seen her stress-marking outdoors when other dogs are barking at her.
When I put too much pressure on my Lacy, he'll mark indoors. He'll never do it in the house...hotel...etc.
An example is I was granted permission to take him into Bass Pro Shop during the holidays to have him fitted for an orange vest. They were crowded and many people kept dipping down to pet him as we walked by. I watched him closely and he seemed to be handling it just fine. But as we walked into the elevator he tried to mark. I caught him and corrected him. We got off the elevator and walked to where the dog vests were. He tried to mark. Again I corrected.
When we were leaving the store he tried to mark at the check out. I know that it wasn't as if he had to go, I made sure he went before we entered the store. He wasn't 'smelling' for a place to go, he'd just lift his leg.
I was to blame for this one, because I put too much pressure on him - new place, very crowded, lots of 'touching', elevator, trying on vests.
I think you have a DOG and though this isn't that uncommon to occasionally happen with males you are a lucky owner with a female
Truthfully, I think it's just her and since you know it, you just need to pay more attention than some of us do with our girldogs. To help make it happen less you have to catch her just when she cocks her leg so you can make the correction crystal clear to link it with her action. Any time you do that it will help click that it's not allowed. But with it so infrequent you'll have to be vigilant!
It may get better as she gets older (fingers crossed )
I don't have an answer for you. My Miniature Pinscher marks in the house when other dogs come over. He's kind of a butt head.
When we first brought our GSD home, the Min Pin marked where ever the Shepherd would lay down. That has long since stopped, the Shepherd rules now.

Marking indoors but only very rarely
My dog will sometimes mark indoors, but only very rarely. Maybe once every 2-4 months, she will randomly decide to lift her leg and pee on something. I'm guessing she's smelling other dogs but it's so inconsistent I can't figure out what's triggering it specifically. We have dogs at work all the time, so why does this only happen once in a blue moon? The trouble places are when we are at my workplace or at the hardware store. I correct her for it, and she is never unsupervised, but it happens very quickly without any warning sniffing behavior.
So I asked this question on another forum and was basically told I was a terrible person and to keep my dog on a leash at all times while indoors... This not only does not work (the leash won't stop her from peeing), it is not practical or fair for the dog. I am willing to do it if someone can explain to me how it will actually help. Also willing to try other techniques. When I am working she lies on her quilt and does not explore- this is only an issue when we're walking around, not when she is bored.

My boss came into my office today - he is a new-ish firearm owner and a recent CPL licensee - to show my his new carry gun. As I handed it back to him, I remarked that he had stood in that exact same spot ten years ago asking me if I thought it was inappropriate to ask one of our regular clients to leave her firearm in the car. She was licensed, but he was not entirely comfortable with the idea of her having a revolver in her purse, and considered posting a notice on our door to ask our clients and visitors to leave their firearms in the car before coming in.
So apparently we are now officially carry-friendly. Carry on.

So, y'all ain't going to no more gun shows at the Gibralter Trade Center either then, right? They do NOT allow ANY loaded guns in the building. They do NOT allow open carry. They do NOT allow concealed carry with a CPL. And all guns that are brought in must be unloaded outside of the building and the actions strapped by security.
Interesting, the same people advocating to allow guns in the schools (many running these shows are affiliated with groups like the NRA) keep guns out of the gun shows. A friend has been looking into this at shows around the country and it is rampant.
So, I expect not to see any of you at these gun shows ever again since they do not allow you to exercise your right to carry loaded weapons legally.

Had another thought about this topic.
How many of you are members of GLFWDA? If you look at the Safety Certification Form, there are no firearms allowed in vehicles on trail rides.
How many of you carried on recent GLFWDA sanctioned trail rides?
If you did you violated GLFWDA rules. If you did not carry, did you not do so because of respect for these rules? Why do you respect this particular no carry rule and not others?

This subject was discussed in great depth on the GLFWDA forum probably 8 years ago. First of all, GLFWDA has no jurisdiction over a person or their vehicle while on state land. Second, it falls under the state laws of preemption that says no local government body can restrict gun laws to a lesser extent than state laws. So, it is an out of date non issue. I suggested years ago that the rule be struck from the GLFWDA rules but no one wanted to step up to it. Bottom line, neither you or GLFWDA can tell me what I can or cannot have in my vehicle or supersede a state law.
As far as respecting GLFWDA, I'll put it this way. GLFWDA is not the governing body that dictates what I can and cannot carry. The constitution and 2nd amendment is.
To your other attempt at Drama, I do not know where the rule for gun shows comes from. I don't know if it is dictated by the gun shows or a law. But, I don't have a problem with it as there are hundreds of guns and thousands of people there and not everyone is as safe handling a gun in tight quarters as we might like. I can pretty much assure you that if a person started a mass shooting in a gun show, many of the people selling would lock and load and eliminate the problem in short order.

My post about the gun shows was valid in the context of this thread. It is a place that restricts legal carry. This is something that is across the country so it would not be dictated by the state. I would assume that each individual gun show makes the restriction probably for the reason you state. And it is exaclty what Kerry asked for, valid links to places that restrict gun owners rights to legal carry so that she can avoid doing business with those that oppose her view.
Funny though, how you do not have a problem with that restriction because of the possibility of someone not handling a gun properly, but you choose no restriction anywhere else, even if the same condition of poor handling abilities exist.
Also, pointing out what GLFWDA has on thier webstie is also valid since it is on the website. My understanding was the check list was to be applied to all before allowing participation on a trail ride. I also know that the gun part of it was debated. But it still has not been removed which makes it pertinent for this conversation.
Now, my personal opinion is the same as yours. GLFWDA should not stick thier noses into what I carry as a personal item in my Jeep. Safety features that affect others during the course of driving, yes, but not personal items.
Restricting guns because of the fear that some may not be able to handle those guns in a situation (ie. gun shows) is something I think is up to the individual, business and location. If they choose to err on the side of caution I will still do business with them. I will not allow this particular stnad to change my mind. I will continue to go to Gun Shows, Bass Pro shop, GLFWDA trail rides (if my Jeep is ever road worthy again) and BW3.
btw, I rarely go to BW3 any more because they are just too expensive.

Calling your post an attempt at Drama was in poor form on my part. I apologize. It just kinda struck me that since I haven't seen you post in forever, this post struck me as someone who hasn't been around but took the chance to poke at the pro-gun crowd. If it wasn't, then I was wrong.
Now, regarding the gun shows, I consider that a far different situation than general carry. I will not make the arguement that every swinging hillbilly is as safe as he should be. But, when comparing it to concealed carry, it's night and day difference. Concealed carry means you have gone through a class that includes legal issues, safe gun handling and hands on shooting. I am not worried one bit about a person with a CPL. Nor am I worried about a person Open Carrying in public. But, at a gun show, a person can bring in any form of gun and although they "THINK" they have unloaded the weapon prior, people have been mistaken and accidents can happen. Hell, we've all seen the video of the cop shooting his gun in a classroom environment.
Keep this in mind. While either open or concealed carry, you NEVER unholster your weapon in public unless in a life or death situation. But, at a gun show, people are handling weapons for sale, checking to see if accessories fit, racking slides to check quality of the weapon, etc. Totally different. Even a guy who doesn't think he will unholster may end up doing so because he has a potential sale that he never envisioned.
Looking at it a different way, I can't speak for all, but most gun stores do not want you unholstering a loaded weapon in the store. If it's holstered, keep it there. If you want to take it out to discuss something with the gun store clerk, you are supposed to unload it before bringing it in the store.
So, loaded weapons at a gun show environment are far different than in the general public.
RE GLFWDA, I totally agree, it should be removed. However, since I am rebel that irritates the leadership, I won't bring it up. Feel free.

Like a burr under my saddle Jim, but we love you anyways
But seriously, while we still have the old safety certificate posted on the website, GLFWDA discontinued it's use at our events several years ago. Our event insurance underwriters asked what our technical training and certification was to conduct such inspections, we said none, they said don't use it for our events. It is not enforced at any GLFWDA-sponsored event, although I do believe they have been made available to participants as a guide at some. So while I thank you for pointing it out Pete, we do not use the inspection forms as a requirement for participation and therefore no one has broken any rules (recently)

I just moved to China and started a teaching job in Zhoushan at a really nice language school
I have been here 2-3 weeks and just starting working with the kids
there is a little boy named James who doesn't speak to anyone he's been at this school awhile and the first year he didn't say one word
in his regular school he don't talk either
his mother says he is learning English though because he sometimes says things to her
well the owners husband was teaching this class and he wanted me to do a review with them
so he told me to show them cards and they say what each is
I noticed in other classes he would hand the cards to kids who said it right first
so I said the item and the kids repeated I looked at James and said the item and he of course didnt say anything I smiled anyway and handed him the card cause I could tell he was paying attention to me
well after that I asked each child 'how old are you' and they respond 'I am _ years old'
I got to James and asked him he of course didn't say anything and I turned to the other teaching asking James' age he told me 5 so I looked at James and said 'I am 5 years old' well I was about to head to the next child when James whispered ' I am 5 years old' well me and the two other teachers were shocked me spoke to me it being my first day working with the kids
well after the whole thing the teacher was joking saying
'I cant believe he spoke he's so stupid'
I got angry and told Jones (the owners husband) that James is NOT stupid and I noticed he pays attention to everything Jones says like hes letting it sink it but he just don't say it the only english James as told them was 'hello or goodbye'
It makes me so angry the way he would think I child is stupid because they don't talk
also im worried about Jones' teaching style for James and kids like him not everyone is active and wants to play in the classroom
I mean Jones' students are going to be split between me and him should I maybe mention splitting them by how they learn?
for example James and a few others dont react to playing around etc like Jones teaches
Don't get me wrong a lot of the kids love him and hes a good teacher (other than insulting James calling him stupid) and the kids learn but I feel some will respond the lesson better being taught other ways maybe calmer but still let them have fun and enjoy it
what do you think? should I mention it also is it wrong for me to be so angry about the whole James thing? I mean I feel this boy is really smart

Time for a change!
While I was pregnant with my beautiful daughter Elenore, a few people would ask me if I was planning on using cloth diapers or disposable diapers. Having grown up only exposed to disposable diapers I would quickly rattle off my reasons why I would only ever use disposables. My main argument was that I didn't have a washer and dryer. The truth was, I knew nothing about them!
I remember the day that I was first introduced to BumGenius. Elenore was 6 months old and I had found a You Tube video that explained exactly how they worked. I was amazed that they were no longer my grandmother's diapers. From that moment I was hooked! The moment my poor husband came home he was bombarded with information that he really had no desire to ever know. It took me about 48 hours of obsessing before he finally relented and told me that I could have 50 dollars to spend on starting my self a stash. For any of you who know anything about pocket diapers you know that 50 dollars doesn't get you very far. But like I said before, I was clueless.
I strapped Elenore in the peanut shell and walked the few blocks to my local Eco-Friendly baby store.
Because of my budget I ended up walking away with two dozen prefold diapers at 22.00 a dozen, one Snappi, one Wonder Wraps diaper cover, and a wealth full of information. The clerk tried to convince me that I would need more then one cover but I had a budget! (Little did I know that I would come crawling back to the store only the next morning to buy another Wonder Wraps and a Bummis cover after my darling one decided to have a blow out).
My total expenses to date on diapering are around 85 dollars as opposed to my budgeted 50 dollars a month. We would have spent over 350 dollars in the past 6 months we have been cloth diapering.
Cloth diapering has changed the way I think all together. Where as I would have previously distinguished things like cloth nursing pads and mama rags as "yucky" I now see them as tools to enhance the things I encounter every day! I have no idea how I used disposable nursing pads for so long those things are so scratchy! Using cloth diapers has also opened me up to a whole new group of wonderful mommies I never would have met.
It is amazing how when you step out of your comfort zone you can be opened up to a world of opportunities and friendship.
My advice to anyone thinking about using cloth diapers is to not be afraid! There are so many wonderful moms and dads (!) out there who would just love to answer any questions you might have. Making the change is possible and well worth it!

First go you on only spending $85. I have spent way more than that because I am so in love with trying new ones and wanting new colors etc. Second, cloth is the best!! 🙂
$85 is awesome! Cloth diapers has definitely opened up new doors to me also.
You are so lucky to have a local eco-friendly baby store!!! I've been amazed at how quickly I fell in LOVE with cloth diapers.
Wow, that is really helpful that you have a store within walking distance! I would have to drive at least 3 hours to find a store with good cloth diapers! And sometimes it can be harder to buy a new type of product, or decide on cloth in general, without seeing it.
Cloth diapers have saved us so much money and now that we are using cloth wipes too, we are really saving! I love it. Good for you for trying it out and only spending $85, I have spent way more than that!! =)
That's awesome only spending about $85!! I did almost the same at first, but not as good as you – I think I started my stash off with $100 (prefolds & covers). That was a year ago and have of course expanded my stash : )
Wow, $85 is great! I have gone way over my diaper budget because of how addicting it is for me to shop! It's also wonderful to have an eco-friendly store next to you–I have to drive 15 minutes to get to the closest one to me. If there was one closer, I probably would be hanging out there so much people would think that I worked there!
Wow! Only $85! I wish I could have stuck to that kind of budget. Thanks for sharing your story! Your little girl is so adorable!
WOW! you have spent so little, I keep having to try new diapers and other things, like wet bags and what not that it has added up. I still think I have spent less then disposables though.
can you do a post on prefolds and snappies? I am new to CD and when I read the info it looks confusing especially how do you attach the snappies?
I think its great that you have a close by store to go to. $85 sounds awesome, good job mama! =)
That's exactly how we started cloth too! Except my husband said I could try one diaper to begin with! That poor diaper got washed every day and I was hooked!
It's awesome to hear about moms who cloth diaper economically! And your little girl is so adorable!
I also started out with a very modest budget. I started with prefolds and covers. I'm just now branching out into AIO's, pockets, and fitteds. There really are so many options out there, and it's fun to try them all out.
Add me to the group that is jealous of you for having an eco-friendly baby store nearby! Not even the local "big guys" in my area have any sort of cloth diapers or accessories!
I got lucky on my finding my first batch at a yard sale, so I was able to "try it" without the big investment. I think the money part can be pretty intimidating at first.
I love how much we can save by using cloth! And that's awesome that you have a store within walking distance. Wow!
only $85 is amazing. i haven't spent anything on diapers yet because all that we've had have been given to us by friends and family (god bless babyshowers!) but with all the wonders of cloth… and the cuteness… and the COLORS and different designs… wow.
Hello Cory and Becca: While we haven't specifically covered exactly how to use a Snappi it's certainly something we can add to the list – we're hoping to add a few of our own how-to videos to the site.
In the meantime here is a post about prefolds in the past: http://www.theclothdiaperwhisperer.com/2009/03/back-to-basics-with-prefolds.html
And here's a link from the manufacturer on how to use a Snappi:
I hope this helps!
I completely agree with you about the community of women in the cloth dipe arena. I am constantly amazed at how helpful everyone is!!!!
$85 is AMAZING!! Wow, how did you manage to keep it so low? I am totally addicted to any and all things cloth!
Well done! that is so impressive!
Great job at sticking to a reasonable budget! Even though I've spent more than that since I'm not interested in prefolds and snappis I know that I will still save money within a few short months and will still be able to sell most of them back after PLing! Can't do that with trash!!
I have a hard time seeing how they will save a lot of money since you have so much washing to do plus the prefolds seem to be the only inexpensive diapers. And if I'm going to do cloth I want to use something a little friendlier. Does that make sense? I really want to do cloth but the initial costs seem outrageous it's been hard for me to get started. That's why I'd love to win one to see if it would actually work for us. Thanks for the post.
Great job and a well written post. Congratulations on falling in love with cloth!
Wow! for spending only $85!! And switching to CDs. It's been about 4months for us, going FT on CDing my DD!
Lol, I had a "budget" for spending at first too! Congrats to you for only spending $85.
I'm totally impressed with $85 – I'm way too addicted to the cute new diapers that come out!! I'm still saving money, but not as much as I could! (But daddy is also afraid of prefolds and snappis – so we have to have some pockets for him to work with).
Thanks for the post!
Elenore is so cute, she reminds me of my own daughter!
wow ! great post ! go you on only spending that much ! i love the ww colors 🙂 great post ! cloth is so fun !
haha, your husband sounds like mine! i bombarded him too, and he also put me on a budget. oh well… im working on him. he likes the pocket diapers, so he is okay with spending a bit more. though he does an awesome twist fold with our prefolds.
I am also so impressed with only spending $85. I love to try the new and latest cloth diaper. I am hooked! It's like my new hobby.. an expensive hobby on a limited budget
$85?? That's it? Wow! Good for you!! I wish that we had a good eco-friendly, cloth diaper store nearby.
Love the pictures of your daughter. We just had our first daughter (3rd child) and her name is Eleanor too. I still love my prefolds and Snappis too even with my recent venture into the world of pockets.
Wow- I am impressed- $85 is very reasonable for cds. We are also going frugal- we have been given used prefolds and covers. But I spent money for the nb sizes whe he was a nb. I love that we can save money by using cloth.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I totally agree with everything you wrote! I was convinced that, as a working mom, I would never have time to wash out poopy diapers….nor did i want to spend my "at home" time doing so! To my surprise, it takes little extra time to wash diapers and I feel better about washing a load of diapers that taking a load of 'sposies out to the trash! I tell EVERY expecting mommy I encounter about my experience in the hopes that i will convert them! Way to go on the switch! Thanks for the great commentary!
Thank you for a wonderful post!! I have been trying to absorb as much info as I can on cloth diapering, as this will be my first time. I have to be honest…occasionally fear will say "forget it." I don't think I will let it get the best of me…I can't wait to cloth diaper my newest baby (#4) come March!!!

text: I have been a fan of Russian pairs skating ever since I started watching pairs skating. Part of the reason I became a fan of FS was watching Gordeeva-Grinkov skate in 1988. Fortunately we got to see many great Russian pairs- past and present. Right now though, I don't see any senior pairs beyond Volosozhar & Trankov. The #2 (B&L),3(K&S),4(S&K), etc. are just OK- not OGM material, IMO. Pairs that were expected to develop, like (e.g.) Gerbolt-Enberg (sp?) have pretty much disappeared. Mukhartova, who had the talent, could not find a partner. Iliushechkina-Maisuradze break up was very disappointing. So I am wondering who will carry the torch for Russian pairs after V&T retire (probably after 2014 Olympics)? Will there be another golden age of pairs skating in Russia? It's too early to tell, but I do like some of the young pairs right now. They are too young to pin hopes on though. Last year I liked Davankova-Deputat, but they kind of disappeared this year. I do like Federova-Miroshkin. Can they develop into something? Tarasova-Morozov? I liked them this year Will Maisuradze be successful with his new partner? I am nostalgic for the good old days of watching pairs like Gordeeva-Grinkov, Mishketenok-Dmitriev, Berezhnaya-Sikharulidze, and even Totmianina-Marinin, Bechke & Petrov- pairs that created masterpieces as eligible and/or pro skaters. Valova-Vassilev, Shishkova- Naumov were also very good pairs, and the great Protopopovs and to some extent Rodnina-Zaitsev are still interesting to watch. Will there be 2-3 medal worthy Russian pairs at a time again? I don't know the answer. I don't have any positive or negative feelings about it, just curiosity. How do others feel about this?

Hey guys! This is my first build, so I would really like some help! I've researched this both here and on the Mercs site for a good 6 months or so, and a while back I decided that I'd make myself some beskar'gam!
Originally (by originally I mean at the beginning of last year) I was going to do a cardboard mando, but I didn't put enough effort into it as everything was kind of crazy right then. I bought a skin-tight suit, and I was trying to avoid vests and baggy flight suits, but that hasn't worked out so well for me (I see the logic in them now). In exchange with my parents I agreed that if I did an extra curricular academic thing they wanted me to do, they would buy me a helmet and a set of armor (I'm not too confident in my ability to actually make the armor, but I plan on working my way there eventually). So, I did the thing, and they bought me a set of mando armor from The Mandalorian Arsenal and a Spartan helmet (I technically have two kits going on at once, but the Spartan armor is on the backburner while I do this as I plan to actually make that one (pepakura, bondo, all that jazz)). I hope to have the mando armor finished and ready to go well before the 13th of September (as I write this it's the 14th of May where I live) as I want to have it ready for Oz Comic Con (not to compete- just to wear). Now that I have that out of the way, it's picture time!
Attachment 76953
That's the kit, you can see that I still have the gauntlets in the blue tape it all came in, because when I trimmed it a few weeks back I didn't sand the edges on that as there is a tutorial for putting the gauntlets together.
Those are the pieces that I have no idea what they are. If anyone could tell me what they are supposed to be, well, it'd help a lot!
And finally, the concept art. I made this using the mando maker 3.0, here's the link:The Works of Pamela Mazurkevich
I'm planning on trying to buy a short-sleeve flight suit and having a tight long-sleeve shirt on underneath- the shirt sleeves will show from under the flight suit, which I think will look good. Then I plan on having some fingerless gloves. Here are the things I've been looking at:Army Navy - Flight Suits (scroll down to the short-sleeve one) and Amazon.com : NSSTAR Military Half-finger Fingerless Tactical Airsoft Hunting Riding Cycling Gloves : Bike Gloves : Sports & Outdoors
I already have boots.

Foolproof Holiday Fudge
Traditional fudge recipes require a candy thermometer and a fair amount of precision to get the texture just right; this simple fudge recipe is easy enough for children to make (with supervision, of course). The addition of mini marshmallows to the recipe give this fudge a smooth silkiness.
- Yield: Makes 24 two-inch pieces
Photography: Sang An
- Vegetable oil, cooking spray
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 cups semisweet or white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with two sheets of waxed or parchment paper in a crisscross manner (one lengthwise, one crosswise) so ends overhang sides of pan; coat evenly with cooking spray.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, cook sugar, salt, butter, cream, and marshmallows, stirring, until butter and marshmallows are almost melted, 5 to 6 minutes.
Bring mixture to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chips and vanilla; stir until chips are melted. Pour mixture into lined pan.
Let fudge cool in the pan at room temperature, 3 hours. Use edges of paper to lift out fudge; place on cutting board, and remove paper. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, or cut fudge into bars. Sprinkle evenly with crushed candy.

FIFY! I'd highly recommend you remember that in case the time ever comes that you have to defend yourself or your family. Depending on where you live and how strong the anti-gun community is there, the way you word your initial statement to the police could be the difference between whether your case is sent to a grand jury or not. We are trained to listen for and document "excited utterances". If you do ever find yourself in a self defense shooting and decide against consulting with an attorney before you give a statement, weigh your words carefully. By the way, my attorney's number is programmed in my phone in case I am ever forced to pull the trigger, either on or off duty.
