Congressional Black Caucus spokesperson: Calling Obama cool is racist
posted at 11:57 am on June 12, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
As the reality sets in that Barack Obama could lose his re-election bid in November, the desperation among his supporters mounts. Many have begun to replay the race card, which was never that far from the top of the deck. Last Friday it was Daily News ex-sports writer Mike Lupica who warned that an Obama loss would demonstrate that the population is still lousy with "lousy, scummy bigots."
On Saturday Angela Rye, Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus, picked up where Lupica left off (h/t The Examiner). She appeared on CSPAN's Q & A, where she told host Brian Lamb:
This is probably the toughest presidential term in my lifetime. I think that a lot of what the president has experienced is because he's black. You know, whether it's questioning his intellect or whether or not he's Ivy League. It's always either he's not educated enough or he's too educated; or he's too black or he's not black enough; he's too Christian or not Christian enough. There are all these things where he has to walk this very fine line to even be successful.
It is true that questions about Obama's vaunted intellect have been raised but only in the context of (1) repeated gaffes of the sort liberals cited as evidence that George W. Bush was an idiot and (2) his abject failure as president. If there are doubts about details of Obama's past, it is because he has been largely secretive about his early years, sent partly abroad, and his college days. Consider how long it took him to present his long form birth certificate to quell speculation, no matter how ill-founded, that he not born on U.S. soil.
With slight prodding from Lamb, Rye next got out her dog whistle decoder and offered indisputable proof that the president is a victim of wholesale racism—and that the villains are conservatives. She said:
I think that some of the language that's used is— I'll give you an example. There's an ad, talking about [how] the president is too cool, [asking] is he too cool? And there's this music that reminds me of, you know, some of the blaxploitation films from the 70s playing in the background, him with his sunglasses. And to me it was just very racially-charged. They weren't asking if Bush was too cool….
But I just think that even cool, the term cool, could in some ways be deemed racial….
But it's not just conservatives who have applied this racial epithet to the president. As noted here, in late April late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel stated at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner that Obama is "hard to make fun of because he's a cool character." The following Tuesday, left-leaning Washington Post columnist Chris Cillizza appeared as a guest on MSNBC's Hardball, where he told not reaffirmed not only that Obama is co-o-ol (stretching out the vowel as shown) but suggesting it was a political advantage. In this clip, he tells host Chris Matthews, "This is important, he [Obama] is cool. Mitt Romney is not cool."

If you get a window that pops up with a bunch of jabble there should be a blue direct link to video on that page. Sorry for all the drama. I have no business being near a computer. :lol
Let me know if you have any issues viewing it. Also note the light never goes out just dims

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks Doc, that does make me feel much better. I have already pulled the body off about an hour ago. Will take the engine and transmission off the chassis this afternoon after work and measure from everywhere to everywhere just for my own peace of mind that the front clip was actually centred with the rest of the chassis even if the body is offset like you said. I know about Cadilac making a De Ville but here in South Africa we've also got a Chevrolet from the 70's I think which was called a De Ville but I think it was derived from one of the Australian Holdens.
Cool your jets...
Most Fifties-era cars DO have the body offset from the frame to some degree.
My '54 Ford was offset an inch to the right side, the drivers side fender (and quarter, in the rear) was closer to the tire than the passenger side was. The reason for this is to allow for the motor/trans being farther to the right, for steering box clearance.
It's certainly nothing to get worked up over.
Offsetting the powertrain to one side was done (and still is) to solve a clearance problem and is an acceptable way to make things fit and work as intended. Offsetting the body was also done, as it would be obvious when the hood is open if the engine/trans sat to one side. Most people do not look close enough to see if the framerails are centered in the engine bay.
Offsetting the body DOES NOT affect the alignment or drivability of the vehicle. Alignment is the angles of the front wheels/rear axle in relation to the chassis, NOT the body.
I know all this for fact as I ran into having to center the driveline and the body on my '54 Kustomsledd project. I always center the powertrains I swap in, and when I did the air suspension I found out about the body being offset, one rear tire was rubbing inside the quarter when the car was slammed, yet my track width measurement said I had just enough room.
Unless you plan to spend a lot of time/effort/money to make it tuck tire, I would'nt worry about it. If the car does'nt drive straight then get it aligned, and don't sweat the body being offset...
BTW, De Ville's are made by Cadillac, not Chevrolet...
|Now we all know why one must try not to buy something which has already been worked on and aborted halfway. I get the feeling this guys bit off more than he could handle and realized it too late and then decided to get rid of it. I guess I was the unlucky sucker who fell into the trap. Unfortunatle getting a fibreglass "kit-car" is not really an option as the assembled body and rolling chassis will cost me just more than this project's total cost. I just have to press on and not give up as I've already spent about 2 thirds of the total cost on all of the miscelaneous parts needed like motor, 'box, shifter (B&M Quicksilver) etc.
Hang in there i feel your pain as my cars not in the best of shape.
|Almost all GM cars I've seen the whole front clip just un-bolts to reviel the firewall. But than again I havent had a chance to work on anything from the 50's.
Would cutting the frame on the longer side and butt-welding it work? It might swing the rails over far enough to correct it.
Sorry for your hardship hope it works out for you.
A very disturbing discovery
Yesterday I have made a very disturbing discovery on my 53 Chevy.
First, this is how I got to it:
I had the whole front end assembled to check alignment before starting on making new bumper brackets. I fitted the hood loosely and saw that the 2 rear most tips don't match the body equally. This told me that the front center is actually off the car's centre line.
After holding a piece of rope along the car's centre line I saw the hood's centre was off to the left by about 3/4 inch! The frame between the fenders was not unmovable yet so moved it until the hood was centred and this made the rear tips line up properly. BUT, now the centre between the front frame tips are to the left of the body centre line and obviously the front of the engine too meaning the engine's not sitting straight! Not to mention what this will do to wheel alignment. Another item pointing towards this problem is that now the left front wheel sits noticable closer to the outside than the right.
Some history now:
When I bought the car I was told the body was placed on a Chevrolet De Ville chassis but later I saw that it was only the front clip from the De Ville.
After measuring some it didn't look as if the front axle line was off square with the rest of the chassi but now it seems as if it's actually off the centre line! Damn!!!
Now, what now?
Do I cut the whole clip off and re-fit it OR do I rob my GMC chassis of it's Jaguar IFS and build a new clip and put the Jag IFS onto that?
My plan was to try and have the car finished by March next year but this will set me back at least a month if not more. Damn!!!

Well, this might help:
I will say that, in my opinion (after many personal range observations and much internet lurking), that Glocks will be most reliable with stock factory recoil springs, UNLESS you need to tailor a gun to a particular (say very light target-type) load. I have lost count of the times that someone has reported functioning problems with a Glock, and then these problems go away after the user is convinced to change back to the stock recoil spring. I am also of the opinion that a person needs to show a fairly high level of skill and be very attuned to their pistol's particular recoil characteristics before any changes in springs will really show any benefits. Not saying you you couldn't possibly benefit (as I don't know you or your skill level), but most folks can't really tell the difference, and even some who can, can't exploit that difference and change it into a useful savings of time between shots.
Also, you need to be prepared to spend a LOT of time experimenting with your gun/ammo combo to find the correct spring setup. This can be very expensive, either in time or money (or both).
I personally only use stock springs in all my Glocks, and spend the money saved on practice ammo and gas for range trips.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Dec 24, 2012.
Now I'm on board with Bennett.
I bet if he formed a B with his hand and legs after every 3 even Panda would root for this guy.
There are some other letters of the alphabet I would like to see.
Aw man, spelling BIG PIMPIN is a lot to ask...
I'd much rather if we saw some dance moves straight from the original bad boy....Rick Astley
first time i ever played ric astley and it wasn't a rick-roll.
Once the man takes his player option and shoves it... DO IT GORES! This Pistons need that Piru swag. And he can create his own points via the jumpshot, which is something we actually don't have. At all.
He isn't a bad option at the two. Id pay him 6.5 a year.
Send the check to me, I'll pass it along to Gores :D
Ok, I'm on a Burke bandwagon
Funny enough I was on the bandwagon until the Final Four. I personally don't think he is going to be a good pro. When I was reading some of the nba draft sites their criticism of him, at the time, sounded ridiculous. Now after the Final Four it sounds spot on..
I'll take Porter and Oladipo before Bennet...
Trade down. Take Burke and another dude in the teens.
No. ...seriously, no.
There's a dude walks around my work like that all day. I try to avoid him.
except folks are going crazy with potential.... Burke at 6 McGary 12 Robinson 15.... The two Freshmen really need more work on there game IMO, want reason number 1 the NBA has less skill then it did 20 years ago? Kids go to early to the big show and don't get the playing time they would in college to improve. Saying that.... I think that McGary might be a better fit/match with Drummond so if we could trade down and get Burke/McGary and then trade Monroe for a stud wing... I would bite.
The only game I watched carefully in the NCAA tournament was the final. There Siva looked like the more NBA-ready PG than Burke.
If Peyton Siva was 6'2" instead of 5'10", he would probably be a first round pick. But, he isn't, and he doesn't really have a great outside shot. That being said, that kid had tons of heart, and he sure can play. The Wolverines set tons of picks and ran Burke around screens, but he almost never lost Siva. He's quick, tenacious, and plays to win. (And he went to Franklin High School right here in Seattle!)
NBA-Ready is okay, but this team needs NBA-Future. That said, I'm not sold on Burke on this team with this coach and this roster. I think he'll be a fine PG in the league though. Especially if he's able to finish at the rim more consistently. I'd just like to see him with another player who can create his own shot.
I look at Burke, and all I see is a young Will Bynum with a sense of entitlement.
Separate names with a comma.

i have food allergies/sensitivities to many "healthy" foods, including:
- legumes (i.e. soy, alfalfa, carob, any and all beans, etc.)
- tomatoes and many other fruits
- many nuts
i want to be vegan, but can only handle vegetarianism due to my allergies (i.e. i eat dairy and eggs). so in terms of protein, what else can i eat to make sure i get all my nutrients without having to take artificial supplements all of the time? i do drink hemp shakes and eat quinoa (although the taste is awful to me), but what other options do i have in becoming a true vegan if i cut out beans, soy, and nuts?

These slice-and-bake chewy cookies are perfect for the holidays.
- Yield: Makes about 6 1/2 dozen
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups dried figs, stemmed (about 8 ounces)
- 1 cup golden raisins (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup orange juice
Make dough: Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl, set aside. Put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or overnight.
Transfer one of the dough halves to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Roll out to a 10-by-12-inch rectangle, trim edges with a knife. Repeat with remaining dough half. Transfer each rectangle on parchment to a baking sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Make filling: Bring figs, raisins, and juices to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until fruit has softened and only a few tablespoons of liquid remain, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer fig mixture to a food processor, and puree until smooth.
Spread half the filling over each rectangle. Starting with a long side, roll dough into a log. Wrap each log in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices using a sharp knife, transferring to baking sheets lined with parchment paper (and reshaping into rounds, if needed) as you work. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

The IL Gear Zone continues its coverage of NCAA gear as the 2012 season gets rolling. The Hobart Statesmen are up next, and the team from Geneva, New York, boasts a pretty sharp kit, including items from Cascade, Gait and Under Armour.
This season, the Statesmen are wearing all white Cascade CPX-R helmets with an orange chin strap and orange "Hobart" helmet decals. On the back of the helmet, you'll see the ECAC conference logo sticker, as well as a sticker with the initials D.R., which is a tribute to Doug Reeland, the coordinator of sports medicine at Hobart for more than 30 years who passed away in April 2011 after a long battle with cancer. In December 2011, Doug was honored posthumously with the USILA's Frenchy Julien Service Award.
The Statesmen are also wearing Gait protective equipment, including the new Gait Dakota gloves and the Gait Recon arm guards. The Dakota gloves feature the Hobart "H" symbol and each individual player's number embroidered onto the cuff. The Recon's are a dark blue and orange colorway.
Hobart's jersey are produced by Under Armour, with both the home whites and road orange jerseys bearing "Hobart" embroidered across the front chest and featuring dark blue trim.
Hobart will certainly be looking good this season. Check out some of the images of the Statesmens' gear and jerseys below, and then head over to the Equipment section of the The Lacrosse Forums to talk about it.

Hi everyone
I'm new here too. I see that this is pretty much the "newby" board :D I'm interested in TEFL/TESOL and am currently looking into courses.
From what I've read so far, it seems to be that there's a lot of crap advertised on the net, and we have to choose the courses we take wisely. I'm looking for a certificate that is internationally recognized and will lead to good work options. I've got some more reading to do, to find out what all these acronyms mean, and all the stuff about being careful with regard to which course to choose. However, I'm just wondering about a couple of options I've seen, which seem pretty good (I'm open to travelling anywhere in Europe to undertake the course, and don't want to take the online option. I'd like to take a course that is accredited, resulting in a certificate that will open up my options to teach anywhere in the world. From the bits that I've read in "student testimonials", it seems to be that there is always work available, and it's pretty flexible on the whole. People seem to love the TEFL lifestyle :-)
The two places I've seen are:
Are these examples of accredited and well-recognized courses?
There's kinda an overwhelming amount of information - it's tough to know where to look and what to look for!
I'd also love to work in the USA, in San Diego, after completing my certification. I'm a British citizen, so I'm not sure how flexible it is to work in the USA. Has anybody done this before? It looks like I'd need to prearrange with a school, and they'd have to organize a working visa for me, for me to be able to work out there. From the research I've done so far, it looks like a difficult option, and it's difficult to know who to trust (a San Diego based school assured me that they'd find me a job in the San Diego area immediately after finishing the course, but I was advised by someone else to be careful with this kind of "agreement.") So, just wondering if anyone who's a British citizen has managed to work in the USA with their certificate?
Thanks everyone. Any help would be much appreciated.

Benchmarking and systems performance - hosted by Elisabeth Stahl

eX5 Does Mile High TPC-C
Read all about the new x86 TPC-C benchmark record. And tell your "highest ever" story.
eX5 To the MAX
TPC-C is a benchmark that some of us love to hate. It's too old, it's too big, it takes so many resources. But in the end, TPC-C is great to have as a proof point, with all of the detailed performance data behind it.
IBM published an outstanding TPC-C result today on an x3850 X5 system. The IBM result was 27% greater than HP's top DL580 result and the highest ever x86-64 score (1). IBM's eX5 result used MAX5, an industry-first technology that decouples memory from the processor allowing for the unique capability to expand memory independently of the processor to increase the productivity of a single system.
The TPC-C benchmark simulates an order-entry environment of a wholesale supplier -- entering and delivering orders, recording payments, checking the status of orders, and monitoring the level of stock at the warehouses. What's so valuable here is that TPC-C represents truly any industry that must manage, sell, or distribute a product or service.
So whatever business we are in, we can take any of our industry applications to the MAX.
(1) IBM System x3850 X5 TPC-C result of 2,308,099 tpmC, $ .64 USD / tpmC. using DB2 9.7 and SUSE Linux® Enterprise Server 11 (SP1), four Intel Xeon X7560 processors at 2.26GHz with 256KB L2 cache per core and 24MB shared L3 cache per processor (4 processors/32 cores/64 threads), availability 05/20/11 vs. HP ProLiant DL580 G7 with the Intel Xeon Processor X7560 at 2.26GHz (4 processors/32 cores/64 threads), Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise x64 Edition SP3, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition; 1,807,347 tpmC, $ .49 USD per tpmC, availability 10/15/10. www.tpc.org, results current as of 11/16/10.

Registering Your Boat Or PWC
How to Register a Vessel
There are three types of vessel registrations:
ONLINE: Customers may create an account or log into their online account and register or renew with a credit card. The printed receipt and temporary authorization number are issued by the system and are good for 60 days for use in Georgia until the new registration is received*.
BY MAIL: Customers will return the completed application and required registration documents along with payment to the address listed on the application. Customers may retain a copy of the mailed application and proof of payment, and use these copies for 60 days as a temporary registration for use in Georgia until the boat decal and registration are received*. These must be carried on the boat while in use. The date on the application and check or the date the application is received, whichever is earliest, starts the 60 day period. Renewal Registrations - customers are mailed a courtesy renewal registration notice once when they have 60 days or less remaining on their boat registration. Customers may mail the printed form back with payment. Customers may also create an application in their online account, print it, and return the printed application and payment by mail.,
BY TELEPHONE: (1-800-366-2661): The Service Center operator will gather information from the customer based on the completed registration application or renewal notice, and enter credit card payment. The Service Center operator will inform the customer which documents are necessary to complete the application; request the customer mail, email, or fax the application and necessary supporting documents to the Call Center; and give the customer an authorization number that is a temporary registration good for 60 days for use in Georgia*. This number must be carried on the boat while in use.
* Recreational boats built after 1972 require a hull identification number (HIN). If the HIN is missing the boat may not be used on Georgia waters until the HIN is permanently affixed to the vessel.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his side are at home to Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday so, to find out more, tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Dionisis Verveles gave their pre-match views.
It's only a year since Olympiacos last visited the Emirates for a Champions League encounter, but this is a very different team - it's likely that only five of last year's starting XI will begin this match.
That's partly because of a change in coach - Spaniard Ernesto Valverde departed in the summer due to personal reasons after a successful second spell at the club, and was replaced by Leonardo Jardim. The Portuguese coach worked wonders with Braga last season, taking the club to 15 consecutive wins and mounting a serious title challenge. He's brought a similar approach to Olympiacos, preferring a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring attack-minded full-backs, cautious central midfielders, direct wingers and a striker who roams the channels on the break.
The main goal threat is Algeria's Rafik Djebbour, who has something of the Thierry Henry about him, at least in a positional sense. Rather than staying in central striking position, Djebbour likes to pull out towards the flanks - although generally towards the right, rather than Henry's preference for the left. He makes runs into the zone between opposition centre back and full back, and has become a specialist at finishing from tight angles, as he demonstrated with a goal in Arsenal's 3-1 defeat in Athens last year. Arsenal's full backs must remain narrow to minimise the space he has to work in.
Last season at the Emirates Ariel Ibagaza set up fellow playmaker David Fuster for the Greek side's goal, but Jardim has chosen between them in the attacking midfield role so far this season, with Ibagaza favoured in the Greek league but Fuster starting the 2-1 defeat to Schalke. Ibagaza is the better technician and at 35, now plays a calm, reserved passing role in the centre, while Fuster plays higher up the pitch, closer to Djebbour.
Djamel Abdoun is a direct winger on the right, charging towards goal and attempting to combine with fellow Algerian Djebbour. On the other side, Portuguese winger Paulo Machado is noticeably very right-footed, always looking to come inside.
Jardim likes to play with two holding midfielders. Francois Modesto rarely strays from a central position and will attempt to pick up Santi Cazorla, while Ljubomir Fejsa provides more energy and should start alongside him to the left.
Greek internationals Ioannis Maniatis and Jose Holebas will play right back and left back respectively, and both overlap quickly when the Greek champions enjoy a decent spell of possession. Holebas is more attacking but can remain too high up the pitch, leaving spaces behind him for the opposition to break into.
Jardim's team selection this season has been very consistent, but he has a decent squad to choose from. Former Roma box-to-box midfielder Leandro Greco could be a more defensive alternative in any of the three attacking positions, left-footed goal poacher Konstantinos Mitroglou and veteran Marko Pantelic represent a decent plan B, while 21-year-old, 5'4 Ioannis Fetfatzidis, an exciting dribbler, is inevitably tagged as the 'Greek Messi' and would be a dangerous late supersub.
I think it will be a hard game for Olympiacos because Arsenal are a very good opponent. Every match in the Champions League is hard for Olympiacos - and they haven't got a good record in England. They have been very successful domestically but find it harder in Europe. They must fight, but it will be very difficult for them.
Jardim has not yet announced who will be in goal. He has said that Roy Carroll will play in the Greek Super League, and that Balazs Megyeri will be his goalkeeper for the Champions League. Megyeri played in the opening game against Schalke. This could change at the Emirates though, because Jardim feels Carroll has more experience against English clubs.
I would say Djebbour is the danger man, but he is injured. I believe that the important player now is Ibagaza. He can keep the ball well and has good vision. Olympiacos will need to keep the ball as much as possible, and Ibagaza will need to dictate play.
Olympiacos have problems in the defence because there are a lot of new players. Konstantinos Manolas and Pablo Contreras signed in summer and have not really had a chance to build a partnership. I believe that Arsenal will win 2-1 or 3-1.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Re: wrong color foulies?
I went with the yellow coat and black pants. At least the divers could see me better on the bottom when they come for me after the shark eats my bright PFD!
I favor visability, and red looks black at dusk and after. Grey looks good, but is grey, the prodominate color when I'm wearing foul weather gear. Think what is looks like from a helicopter, because anyone looking for you from the surface is at a great disadvantage. One of those glow sticks you snap to activate on a string, like your whistle on the PFD, you do have one right? a whistle that is. If I do fall overboard the wife has promised to call towboat for a ride home and alert the CG as soon as she gets home that I'm overdue.

Re: wrong color foulies?
Many of us don't sail in shark-infested waters, so the opinion of sharks is of limited interest.
Coupla grenades on the harness straps will change the eating habits of the rest, easier than buying a new set of foulies. Way cheaper, too. Anybody asks, you just tell 'em that's shark repellant, perfectly legal.
Re: wrong color foulies?
Sorry to burst the bubble: found this online at the Florida Museum of Natural History website (FLMNH Ichthyology Department: What Color Apparel or Gear Should I Wear in the Water To Help Avoid A Shark Attack)
What Color Apparel or Gear Should I Wear in the Water?
Sharks see contrast particularly well, so any high contrast color apparel or gear used by a human in the water is especially visible to sharks. The bright yellow color traditionally used in water safety flotation devices and rafts is readily seen by human rescuers looking for missing persons in the sea and likely is seen easily by sharks as well. As a result, shark researchers laughingly refer to this color as "yum yum yellow!" Should one replace all these devices with more drab colored items? Of course there is a trade-off involved, but most would agree that the benefit of increasing one's chances of being rescued far outweigh the minimal risk of attracting a shark. By contrast (pardon the pun), divers and swimmers probably can reduce the chance of an interaction with a shark by avoiding bright swimwear or dive gear. I personally prefer to use dark blue or black fins, mask, tank, and wetsuit while diving and make a point of wearing my dive watch under the cuff of my wetsuit, thereby eliminating any chance of light reflection off the face of the watch attracting a shark or barracuda. Similarly, one always should avoid wearing jewelry because the glint of light reflecting off metal approximates the glint of light off the scales of fishes, the normal food items of most sharks.

I would get the yellow as a preference, and put the Rolex in a pocket.
Re: wrong color foulies?
A: If they keep you dry on deck they are the right color.
B: Don't fall off the boat.
Re: wrong color foulies?
Yellow is nice. I would go for it, if you like the jacket/price.
It still isn't going to change your world much, if you fall in.
Re: wrong color foulies?
It was all moot anyway. The store emailed saying the carbon jacket was out of stock, as was red, sorry, but would I accept yellow?
I really didnt want yellow, so I cancelled the order. I do like the jacket, so I may reconsider soon.
Re: wrong color foulies?
I like the idea of the AIS thingy each crew member carries. When you go for a swim every boat within 4 nm has you spotted and zeros in so close those leery reflector jackets will be seen.
Still too expensive at $300+
Re: wrong color foulies?
My foulies are red, and the jacket has a bright yellow hood with reflective tape on it. The jacket's sleeves also have reflective bands on the cuffs. I have a hard time believing that it won't make any difference to my visibility if I am in the water waving a red reflective arm in the air!
When I was with the coast guard auxiliary we were doing a night search for some missing divers. There was a small aluminum boat with a reflective stripe over a kilometer away, and our handheld spotlights lit up that stripe like a strobe! Every bit of visibility helps when people are trying to find you!
Re: wrong color foulies?
"Don't worry honey, it comes with life insurance".
If you've ever tried to spot anything in a choppy sea with whitecaps or spray, I would suggest color matters. There's an old argument that yellow and red can be mistaken for sunset reflections late in the day, but dark colors just won't get seen.
OTOH if you are wearing a nice bright PFD at the time you go overboard, the jacket won't be seen under the PF so the jacket color won't matter. The idea of a bright jacket is to stack the odds in your favor. Fall off an end dock and bang you head on the way into the water, and I suppose the odds of someone seeing you go up a little if you are in a bright color. Obviously bright colors don't help a lot. You never notice the guys wearing DayGlo camo jackets, do you? See? The bright colors just don't get seen much better than the dark ones.
Yes, i have a red jacket and a yellow one. The winter pants are from a camping supplier, and they're plain woodlands camo GoreTex that were too cheap to ignore. I figure if THAT'S the end of me that's out of the water, I've got bigger problems.

Including a testing/QA component early in a software project necessarily prolongs the schedule, right? Not so, according to Ross Collard. In this, the second of a three-part series, Collard explains how overlapping test phases and emphasizing quality and testing early in the lifecycle can save time and trouble.
In the first article in this three-article series, I argued that speed doesn't necessarily sacrifice quality. Software can be developed faster and better, with the help of efficient testing and quality assurance activities. I listed the following ways of reducing the test cycle time and speeding the overall delivery process:
- managing testing like a "real" project
- strengthening the test resources
- improving system testability
- etting off to a quick start
- streamlining the testing process
- anticipating and managing the risks
- actively and aggressively managing the process
The first article in this series discussed points 1 and 2 in the above list. This, the second article, will discuss points 3-5. Later, the third article will finish the list, discussing points 6 and 7.
3. Improve System Testability
Build a cleaner system in the first place , so that less test-debug-fix cycles of rework are needed. Several quality practices are well known, which also help developers build cleaner systems: requirements modeling, component reuse, defensive programming practices, code inspections, unit testing, and source code control.
Establish test entry criteria. Obtain consensus from the project manager and developers on the criteria that will be used to determine if the system is ready to test, and the testware is ready.
Run a smoke test , and do not accept the system for testing until it passes the smoke test. Waiting until the smoke test passes may appear to delay the start of testing, but, if handled right, publicizing the fact that a smoke test will be done can exhort the developers to greater efforts to meet the test entry criteria.
Increase the early involvement of testers in the project. The testers need to climb the learning curve early and have enough time to master the system, determine how to test it, and prepare test cases and the test environment. The testers should actively participate in developing the overall project work plan.
This means that the testers need to be involved from the very beginning of the project. If this does not happen, people who are relatively ignorant about testing will commit the testers to unreasonable deadlines. The testers also will not buy into the dates that are externally (and perhaps arbitrarily) imposed on their testing efforts.
Ensure that the testers have a thorough understanding. They need to understand
- the project goals and success factors
- the project context
- the system functionality
- the system risks and vulnerabilities
- the test equipment, procedures and tools
Use design for testability (DFT) reviews to instrument and place probes into the system being tested, to increase observability. DFT is intended to give black-box testers access to the hidden internal behavior of the system (and sometimes this behavior can be very short-lived).
Encourage a common system architecture and component reuse. Though these areas are not generally the primary concern of testers and QA analysts, a common architecture across a family of systems and planned component reuse can drastically shorten the test time and the overall development cycle time.
The development teams may be too busy or too partisan and involved to manage the overall architecture and systems framework, and similarly too busy or too partisan to manage a reusable component library. A better place to manage these activities may well be the QA group.
Stabilize the system being tested as early as possible. Place the system to be tested under change control and version control, and establish a cutoff date beyond which no changes are allowed except emergency showstopper fixes (the code freeze date).
Set the cutoff early, even if this means reducing functionality, in order to allow a decent period of time after

The Sabres were down 2-0. Their power play was 0-4. They had exactly one goal in over seven periods at home against Johan Hedberg and the Penguins, who both suddenly looked unbeatable again. And there was Super Mario playing like someone deserving of a Selke, not a Hart, Trophy. It got eerily quiet in HSBC Arena.

Discussion in 'February 2008' started by Dlev59, Feb 7, 2008.
And in 1995, I could drink a 6 pk of beer and eat two pizzas without gaining a pound.....
Exactly what I was thinking. And don't forget the genius of Flip Saunders. He is just waiting for the perfect time to unleash the Slovenian. Flip is sneaky like that. He might wait until August to do it.
All I know is it better not be as boring as the Miami game. I asked 'Horn if George had to keep poking him to keep him awake for the broadcast.
Flip can muck up tonight, and I think he will. Or, he could surprise me and play Amir, Afflalo, and Stuckey all some major minutes, while keeping the minutes of our starters down. I am not calling for Maxiell to get more than 15 minutes tonight, as he needs some rest himself along with our starters. Another opportunity too to give Fabio a shot at some playing time. But, as I started with, I doubt Flip gives a hoot about preparing for the playoffs. You know, getting your rotation ready to play. This involves two things. One, getting the right guys playing. Two, getting each of them sufficient time out there to get into NBA rythm. On the first score, I would say we got mostly the right guys playing, although we have to explore other options at backup small forward, like Herrmann for instance. We can't just assume we are stuck with Hayes, not with his poor D. On the second score, getting enough playing time for each guy who will be in your rotation, Flip is doing ok, not great though, with Stuckey. Remember him saying Stuckey had to play like 20 to 25 minutes a game, win or lose. He was right, and those kind of minutes should be happening for Stuckey. To balance this, you also have to have at least 10 minutes for Afflalo. If Afflalo gets more, and Stuckey less, that is acceptable. I'd just say that the pair should get 30 minutes total between them minimum. This means that between Billups and Rip, they should average at most 33 minutes. (Or Hayes could lose his minutes to Afflalo.) The best way to go would be for Afflalo to average 15 minutes at backup small forward, and 7 minutes at shooting guard, while Stuckey gets 15 minutes at point and 8 minutes at shooting guard. (With Tay, Rip, and Billups each getting 33 minutes.) If the above happens, all you got left to worry about is our big man rotation. Here is how it should go ideally. Samb 5 minutes. Amir 15 minutes. Maxy 20 minutes. Sheed 30 minutes. Dyess 26 minutes. What would happen if all the above happened? Thats a nine man rotation, with the weakest link on defense being Dyess, who is not all that bad when playing lighter minutes. (A tenth man, Samb, would be involved, but not enough to call it a ten man rotation.) None of our starters would be tired for the playoffs. Our guys in the rotation would be prepared for the playoffs. Our depth would be solid, with Samb giving us a bit extra immunity to foul trouble, and a bit more of a shotblocking presence. In the playoffs, the other two guys dressed would be Hayes and Herrmann. Each of these guys should get into game now and then, but not more than like every third game, and not more than maybe 6 minutes when they do play. Just enough to be involved a bit. Now, when I write this game up later, you can bet I will concentrate on how Flip is preparing for the playoffs. How many points Rip or CB score tonight won't matter on bit toward playoff wins. If Sheed goes in the post a lot tonight, it won't help us one bit toward a playoff win. On the other hand, getting experience for our youth, or finding a different solution at backup small forward, now those things will translate into playoff wins, and I certainly hope many of you will join me in rooting for these very important things to happen.
Neither AJ or Afflalo aren't capable at SF position. Even for backup. Ask for Tay how hard this position is. I do not believe in this "being tired during PO-s" anyway.
You have your opinion on AJ and AA, but hey, do you think for a moment Hayes can handle the small forward position? So far this season, he is a doormat for the other team more than anything. Remember, the team he came from, Washington, used him primarily as a power forward, not a small forward. Note, I did say to give Hermann a shot at that position also. (Unfortunately, the ideal candidate, Mejia, took off to Europe) In any case, we do have to try these other options before the trade deadline. Maybe we can trade for someone if none of the guys on our team can do the job.
Chat is open!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Something may be afoot. Is this post long enough. If you want explanation, I will have to refer you to the other board.
and they were 18-31..... lots of players can put up numbers on bad teams, but can't do anything on good teams... he's not in the cards here.
Best half of the season! This is the reason i get so frustrated when AA/Amir are given no PT. They're fantastic! Afflalo is the reason we can stop dribble penetration. Do you know how huge that will be in the PO's?? At the start of the 1st quarter, I was a FTFF (foul trouble fan first) for Dice and/or Sheed. I love Max to death, but Amir is by far more talented. Sheed/Stuckey/Afflalo/Amir/Prince. No one could score (well barely) against that lineup. That combo even makes Hayes look good in Prince's spot. It's hard to not think this is a championship team when you see the bench play consistently. Also Stuckey continues to impress. Looks like all he needed was a little time to adjustment.
Loved Sheed running the offense with the young guns! Stuckey is like a rodent that can squeeze through any hole!
How about 10 guys all playing between 20 and 27 minutes? That's quite a box score. Weird that the bench was so bad in the 4th quarter (outscored 25-10), but they sure dominated that 2nd period!
yea as much as people want to get on the starters for not bringing it, i am sorta disapointed that the bench didn't play as well in the 2nd half as they did in the first.... BUT..... Very happy overall with the game... just curious if all the folks that can find fault with anything a starter does or one of the old bench folks will use the same fine comb with the bench players in the 2nd half or will they find every excuse to justify it.... But I wonder when was the last team had 10 players get atleast 20 mins in a game.
The bench most have thought it was garbage tiime in the 4th qtr with the big lead and slunk back to their old habits.... They did look good in the second though to put the game away. Seven straight wins now and a potential looking at the schedule to win six more to extend the streak to 13 and possibly over take the C's...
They also weren't playing with Sheed in the 4th, but yea it looked like they slacked. Disjointed, and not really running anything. The PORT bench hustled, and the bench looked confused for a minute there. As for overtaking the Celt's, not if they keep winning games like they did tonight. 2nd heartbreaker for MIN, should've won both games.
That was a great win. "Stuckey to Amir!" is something I hope we hear often and for a long long time
It was announced before the game that this was going to happen. After the game, it was strongly hinted that this was just the start. Got to love it. The starters rested. The bench developed. And oh, we completely blew away a team that beat us earlier in the season. Knowing how the game was going to go before it started, I was about as excited as a guy can get about a sports event right from the tipoff. I enjoyed the heck out of watching this game. The game started out slow, with Billup getting us all our early points. Portland was getting too many offensive boards while our guys could not get a rebound at all. Typical for our starters. But then Sheed got a 2nd foul, and a very high energy player came in are righted the ship. Jason Maxiell quietly started winning this one, just like he has for several of the recent games. Hard to notice. Its not his scoring. Not even his own rebounding a lot of the time. Its the energy he brings. Its the major attention the other team has to pay to him to keep him away from the O boards. Its his highly active defense. Afflalo joined him soon enough. An excellent defensive player, he just accelerated the slaughter of Portland. Afflalo, in that decisive 2nd quarter, and late first quarter, played solid D, helped a lot with the ball handling chores, and made about 3 cuts to the basket for scores. A darn good game by him, another player who has been heavily responsible for our wins of late. And then Dyess got his 2nd foul, and in comes Amir. When we let him play, what do we get? Yes, thats right, winning basketball. Yet another bench player who of late has been helping us win games. Amir was all over on D, hitting the offensive boards, and playing some pretty good individual defense when not guarding Aldredge. Now, Aldredge is pretty good, but don't think that just because he scored on Amir a few times means Amir can't gaurd him. It takes experience to guard a guy like Aldredge. Amir started his education tonight. He has a long way to go but meanwhile we will take those active feet on defense. Amir's highlight by the way had to be his slam back on a missed free throw. Hayes did well. Scored plenty and did not get burnt on defense much that I noticed anyway. Herrmann got in during garbage time. The guy hustles, but is quite slow on defense. Having him and Hayes in was not good. (Then we added Brezec for the last couple of minutes and got real slow out there.) But hey, we had a huge lead and the game never got that close. Anyway, watching Hayes and Herrmann side by side, my impression is that no way Herrmann beats out Hayes for playing time. Herrman is just slow. Hayes ain't that quick, but he is still considerbly quicker than Herrmann. Stuck got a career high 13. He hit some jumpers, got to the line driving inside, and got to the basket a few times. Quite impressive, and his defense and rebounding skills leave little to be desired. This is a guard that plays big. Our bench had their bench outscored 24-0 at one point in the 2nd quarter. Got to give a shout out to Sheed, the guy who played with our subs most of that 2nd quarter as we plowed Portland about 40 feet under. Sheed for a while just guarded Aldrege, and that was all we really needed him for. He did hit a triple or two also in that quarter before it was done. The only question in the 2nd half was could our starters hold a lead. They did not have to, as Flip brought in Maxiell with all his energy real early in the quarter. Rip hit some shots. Billups got 17 in that first quarter, and thats it. He did not play in the 2nd nor 4th quarters. With Billups also gettng 3 assists early, he accounted for all but 2 of our first 24 points. Blake started for Portland and just could not begin to check CB. (Roy was out due to family issues he had to deal with, and Jack had to guard Rip.) Dyess had a flurry of offensive boards after Maxiell came into the game and drew some attention. Tay hit a shot or two and played his usual fine D. OK, like I said last week, before Amir got cut down to virtually no minutes for a couple of games, if we stay on the course set tonight, we will win a championship. I think Joe Dumars made it abundantly clear how he wants things to go the rest of the season, and just maybe Flip will stop rebelling from this point and start repeating what we just saw. Mind you, again, I am about as excited right now about the Pistons as I can possibly get, cause I just can't fathom how Flip could possibly muck up any more after everyone just saw how darn good our young players are. Still, to anyone with some doubt yet, I do understand. Only by this type of behaviour from Flip actually continuing going forward can all doubt be removed. GO PISTONS!!!!!
Stuckey minutes 24 assists 4 turnovers 0 Got to love it. Anytime you can get 24 minutes from a rookie point guard without a turnover that is pretty amazing. As he gets more experience his assists per game will go up. If he a couple of 20 + scoring games this year it wouldn't surprise me. AJ was + 23 at half time. 25 minutes. That has to the most he has played in a game since the last game of the year against Boston, except for maybe the last game in the LVS last summer. I am sure he was tired at the end. The same for Stuckey. He hadn't played 24 minutes in a game since the exhibition season. All these minutes are good all the way around.
From nba.com/Pistons PISTONS: Pistons 91, Portland 82
That last quote from Stuckey elicits a HELL YES from me
Separate names with a comma.

As discussed yesterday I am sharing some important information about the nemrod holster used by Boba Fett. Information is Provided by my friend Jonathan Martinez a Nemrod collector from Spain. I have translate the orginal email from Spanish to English:
New found part information.
My friend and collector of nemrod parts just message me back with some interesting information about the holster used by Boba Fett. I am gonna translate since he if from Spain and his main language is Spanish.
"The first miniclipper appeared in the 1970, was color blue , in 1974 the orange mini clipper was produced with the holster, the closure or strap to hold the clipper was made of plastic, same material of the holster. In 1984 the strap was changed from plastic to rubber, the mini clipper stayed orange. In 1989 the minicliper experience changes in the ergonomic design but the holster stayed the same.
All the holsters came out of the mold with the plastic closure or strap, they realize the plastic strap was breaking and in 1984 the fabric started cutting the plastic strap from the holster and put the rubber one to replace it." This information was given by a nemrod employee to my contact.
So given this information I believe the nemrod holster generation 1 was used in the filming of the ESB, the strap made out of rubber was introduced in 1984.
Holster Generation 1 can be seen on the picture below on the left and generation 2 on the right.:
Here is a link of a Nemrod collection with some history of the company, orginal manuals and pics:
