Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
As an alternative consider a charter in the Grenadines. St Vincent Canouan or Union Island all have charter boats on offer.
It is a great cruising ground and no nasty passages providing you don't try to go to St Lucia.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
Minnewaska - while in the Caribbean there is one more very important time that you need to be able to identify - "Happy Hour"! Have fun!
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
Thanks for all the info.
We only recognize two times on the clock, while we are there: dark time and light time. We just didn't want to waste too much light time on a customs process that took forever. Sounds reasonable.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
You've gotten a bunch of good info. Suggest you take some time and learn St John, its worth it. Try to adopt the 'island time' and take your watch off.
For years we chartered out of St Thomas, then moved to Tortola, then on our own boat. We live on our mooring in St John. Clearing St John is ez, just dont follow a ferry or large passenger boat clearing. There are at least 6-10 eating places from high end to not to high on the beach or within 5 minutes walk.
Uncle Joe's and Candy's do the best grilled ribs/chicken in Cruz bay, price point $12-15 per order. Candy (used to work for Unc Joe) is a walk up the hill just past the laundry.
Both, along with Hercules for Pate's, Johnnie cakes and other local favorites, are among the best local places in Cruz Bay. Beach bar is a local fav. lunch specials usually $13-15.
These are all very casual. Stepping up in price is High Tide, just to the right of the ferry terminal, with a more expansive menu. There are a few more along the beach located in between High Tide and the Beach bar. Spyglass is on the next level, great view, a little more pricey. They were offering specials to get folks to climb the steps. A few new places are in the process of opening, across the street from the Beach bar. There's Fish trap, Lime Inn, Rhumb Line, Asolare, ZoZo's, Fatty Crab, Morgans Mango and at least 3 more in Mongoose Junction, St John's version of a tastefull shopping center, all walking distance from Cruz bay's dinghy/ferry dock.
Provisions, laundry are readily available and walking friendly from Cruz bay. Fuel and water are right across from customs. You can anchor for a limit of 3 hours on the left side of the creek, out of the channel, while clearing, or making a provision, laundry run.
The moorings in Cruz bay are private. Closest public moorings are to the left of Cruz bay. With public moorings, if you're a senior, you'll get a discount. (may have to ck in at Park rangers in the same creek as customs, fuel, water, etc). Also a dinghy dock there.
There's a bunch of anchorages that offer privacy, beaches, snorkel and part or all of the above. It depends on your needs. Some of my favorite places are Lameshur, Little Lameshure, Salt Pond, all located with 2 miles of each other, all offering something different. If your a diver, Booby (named for the birds, not the boobs) rock offers a shot at some lobsters. Snorkel sites exist in all of the places. There's no anchoring in the Lameshurs or Salt Pond. When in Salt Pond, hike to Drunk Bay or Ram head, or both. Sunrise at Drunk bay is outstanding. Also, while at Salt Pond have dinner at Concordia, owned by the same operator as Maho Camp. You can call them and request the pick you up at the parking lot above Salt Pond. I would then work my way around Ram Head and explore Coral Bay. Take care while heading to Coral Bay, as Eagle shoal is a caution area. Not marked other than a few mooring balls as its a dive site. Anchoring is permitted in Coral Bay. Leaving Coral Bay, head to Hurricane Hole, Round Bay, then off to Newfound Bay. Careful entering as there are no markers and you have to navigate between 2 reefs. Then Leinster Bay/Waterlemon Cay and just around the corner, Mary's point, across from Whistling Cay, continuing in to Frances Bay/Maho. Moorings available. As you leave Maho, be aware of Johnson's reef, look it up and stay away. You can hug the beach and can work your
way past Cinnamon, Trunk, Hawksnest, Caneel, and Honeymoon.
I'm sure I've left a bunch out.
SHout if I can help.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
One of the ways to expedite the BVI ckeck in process is to have the forms filled out before walking into the office. CYOA supplies the forms for their boats and I assume Island Yachts does too but I do not know for sure. With completed forms in hand it's never taken me longer than 20 minutes to clear in. Typically it's more like 5 minutes.
Spanish Town is an exception... I've cleared in there once and cleared out of there once, never again!!!! Maybe that is part of their master plan to discourage boaters from making them do their jobs. It sure convinced me to avoid them at all costs. Jost is my favorite.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
Checking in at JVD can take 30-45 minutes, including filling out forms and allowing for one or two boats ahead of you. The skipper alone shows up with passports, ships papers, and money for the cruising and park permits. You tell them how long you will be in the BVI and they charge you accordingly.
When we checked in at Spanish Town it took longer, but maybe the procedures have changed overall in the BVI. I ended up going back to the boat to get individual forms signed by everyone. That process took an hour and there was no one ahead in line. My impression was that they didn't see many US charters check in there. I'd allow an hour here.
When you check back into the US, everyone has to show up in person. The process is relatively quick, as they process lots of folks from the excursion boats and are used to keeping things moving. Just be sure you are not importing agricultural products that you might have picked up in the BVI. This includes Washington state apples you bought in Spanish Town! Allow 15 minutes at customs and there is no fee unless you tied up at the customs dock. We paid about $26 for a 42 ft boat and they pushed us off within 20 minutes to make room for the parade of excursion boats.
As far as locking the dinghy goes, I've heard that it is increasingly recommended in the populated areas in particular, like Cruz Bay. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry. The charter company has your deposit, just in case, so its your call.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
Thanks. How time consuming did you find all the checking in and out?
I've sailed out of Saphire Bay, but would return to our slip. Never heard of the lock your dinghy issue, since we never used one. I've never locked a dinghy in BVI. Is it really a law or is the theft issue just huge on St. John?
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
To Minnewaska's question: We've chartered out of the BVI a couple of times, but never left the BVI then, and don't know about the check out/check in procedure when you go to the USVI. We've done the USVI-BVI split at least 4 times, but always out of Red Hook. You might consider this for the convenience of flying in to STT and skipping either the ferry or a puddle jumper to Beef Island from San Juan.
We've always stayed aboard the night before the charter in Red Hook. Island Yachts has had a very reasonable rate for staying aboard the night before the charter. You've got several restaurants within a hundred yards of the charter base and you can self-provision across the street if you wish.
Here's a suggested itinerary for a 3 night/4 night USVI/BVI split:
Day 1 - get off the dock and head to the north shore of St. John (Maho Bay) and start to unwind. Park mooring for the night.
Day 2 - sail around Mary Point to Leinster Bay and pick up another park mooring. Snorkel off the beach or (better) at Waterlemon Cay. Hike to the Annaberg sugar mill. Day 3 - Sail to Jost van Dyke and check in/out of the BVI, allowing for 4 days in the BVI (fees based on your stay). There are moorings in Great Harbour now. You might check out Sand Castle/Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay (you might leave your boat in Great Harbour and take a taxi.) You can hang out at the beach and may consider making a reservation for the 4-course dinner at Sand Castle (not cheap, but worth it.) It's casual, but beachware is not appropriate. You have the very casual Foxy's in Great Harbour, if that's your choice. An alternative is Little Bay where you can pick up a mooring and take your pick of restaurants. You'll definitely have a quieter night here.
Day 4 allows you several options: check out picture-perfect Green and Sandy Cays before the upwind slog along the north side of Tortola. A snorkel stop at Monkey Point, Guana Island, is nice. From there you'll motor to Marina Cay and hope for a mooring. Pussers restaurant is OK and you can replenish your water the next day at the dock or wait til you get to Spanish Town.
Day 5 - head to Virgin Gorda. You can try your luck with the day moorings at the Baths, but we prefer to take a slip at the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour in Spanish Town. You can pick provisions there, get a hot shower, top off your water tank. You can take a taxi to the Baths, which is more relaxing than approaching from the water side. Bring your snorkel, towels, camera etc., in a backpack. The Top of the Baths is another restaurant we'd recommend: $$, but worth it.
Day 6 - Leisurely sail down the Drake Channel,with optional stops at HMS Rhone, Deadmans Bay (lunch on the hook or ashore) and eventually pick up a mooring in the Bight, Norman Island. Snorkel off the boat (if your mooring is close to shore) or the Caves, where you might arrive by dinghy. Dinner at Pirates; suggest reservations if you have a time in mind. You can also hike on the island, but suggest sandals rather than flip flops.
Day 7 - sail to Caneel Bay/Lind Point to pick up a mooring for your dinghy ride into Cruz Bay, where you'll check back into the US. Bring the whole crew--at least it's fast and free. You can check out the shops and restaurants (bring a flashlight for the trip back to your boat if you are staying for dinner. Hopefully you locked your dinghy!)
Day 8 - Short sail back to Red Hook for your check-in.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
Thanks for all the great feedback. Seems best to leave SVI for a dedicated trip sometime.
Now down to considering USVI or BVI. We're going to have to wait to book, due to scheduling this winter, but looking forward to whatever we decide to do.
Re: Bvi - usvi- svi
Hi all,
For best info on SVI sailing, I can recommend you contact Jim Veiga at Sail Caribe. Bareboat charters out of Fajardo, PR. Passage from Fajardo to Vieques or Culebra is much more comfortable than from St Thomas. You can do a week of sailing, best beaches in the caribbean, snorkeling, some laid back hangouts and restaurants, and no customs to waste time on! If you want to do all three (BVI,USVI,SVI), maybe Jim can arrange a downwinder and return the boat to Tortola for you.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- After being held in check offensively in the first half by a stingy Virginia defense, No. 5 Northwestern used a 4-0 run to close the game and pull out an 8-4 road victory over the 11th-ranked Cavaliers Saturday in Charlottesville. A trio of Wildcats -- junior Jessica Russo, sophomore Erin Fitzgerald and freshman Kat DeRonda -- each had two points in the game.
The Wildcats held a 14-5 advantage in shots at the end of the first half but trailed on the scoreboard, 3-2, as UVA presented NU with its third halftime deficit of the year. With the score still tied at four and less than six minutes to play, Northwestern got a goal by Fitzgerald before Russo found a wide-open DeRonda on the doorstep as NU took its first two-goal lead of the game.
The late-game run was a welcome sight for Northwestern, which will carry a 15-2 record into next week's American Lacrosse Conference Tournament in Nashville.
"I think the biggest thing for us was to play together, that was our focus all week and by the end of the game we were doing the little things, cutting through for each other, getting ground balls," Russo said. "Kelly (Amonte Hiller) had us moving the ball around more than we did early in the game and (Virginia) slid to me and Kat was wide open, I'm glad she put it away."
Virginia scored off its opening possession 1:21 into the game, but NU answered by also scoring on its first trip into the offensive zone when Kara Mupo finished a virtually uncontested free position shot for her 18th goal of the year.
Shannon Smith picked up the ensuing draw control and allowed NU to set up a possession that eventually led to Jessica Russo creating with a spin to the inside and score a left-handed goal for her 16th of the year. But the Cavaliers almost immediately pulled level at two on a goal by Caroline McTiernan exactly six minutes into the contest.
After back-to-back point blank saves by Virginia 'keeper Kim Kolarik, a series of turnovers in the midfield left Virginia with the ball, and they took advantage when Charlie Finnegan quick-sticked a pass from behind the net to give the hosts the lead.
On the next 'Hoos possession, Northwestern goalkeeper Brianne LoManto got a solid piece of a Virginia shot that then richocheted off the post. NU's luck turned on the other end, however, as Russo saw her blast clear Kolarik but ring off the right upright, leaving NU down 3-2. The two goals represented NU's lowest output in a half this season.
NU forced turnovers on consecutive Virginia possessions -- first by Lacey Vigmostad and again by Mupo -- only to have good looks on frame denied first by the post and then by Kolarik up high. Defense continued to reign the rest of the half as Virginia protected its 3-2 lead into the intermission despite NU's 14-5 advantage in shots. It was the third time this year Northwestern trailed at the break having split the previous two outcomes.
Sophomore Amanda Macaluso got Northwestern on track with an unassisted goal less than three minutes into the second half, but both squads again put the clamps on defensively after that as the score remained tied at 11 for over 11 minutes.
Shannon Smith appeared ready to break the scoreless streak when she rifled a fast-break shot on goal, but her shot clanged off the crossbar instead. When NU regained possession, Smith directed the offense from behind the net and worked for an open look that she buried with 16:06 to play, keeping intact her streak of 39-straight games with a goal.
After several more long possessions by both teams -- and a key save by LoManto on a UVA quick-stick attempt -- Virginia's Finnegan struck with 6:31 to play to tie the score once again. But Fitzgerald responded less than a minute later, shrugging off a hard cross-check to put away her attempt off the restart and give the Wildcats the lead for good.
Northwestern earned some breathing room shortly after thanks to a well-executed offensive set. A wide-open Kat DeRonda was the beneficiary of a Russo feed from behind the net, and DeRonda finished with ease to set the score at 6-4.
With momentum decidedly on Northwestern's side, junior Alex Frank scored her 17th goal of the year with 1:06 to go and DeRonda added the final tally as time expired, her sixth of the season.
With the draw control battle split nearly 50-50, Northwestern's defense came up huge while the offense worked to find its groove, with Lacey Vigmostad forcing three turnovers and Frank forcing two more. The `Cats also played with discipline in the back field: Virginia did not have one free position attempt the entire game.
Northwestern begins postseason play on Friday, May 6, at the ALC Tournament hosted by Nashville. NU, which has won all four ALC Tournaments since the event's inception in 2007, is the No. 2 seed and will play in the semifinals at 5:30 p.m.

Defender Matthew Connolly has joined Championship side Queen's Park Rangers in a permanent deal.
Connolly (20), who had spent the first half of the 2007/08 season on loan at Colchester United, broke into the Arsenal first team last season, making his debut in the Carling Cup victory at West Bromwich Albion, playing the full 90 minutes. This was followed by a substitute appearance in the 6-3 victory at Anfield in the Carling Cup Fifth Round.
Matthew, who joined Arsenal as an eight year-old, was a regular in the Reserves during his time the Club and was Captain for Neil Banfield's team last season.
Matthew had a very eventful 2006/07 season. After playing in Dennis Bergkamp's Testimonial match at Emirates Stadium in July, Matthew also trained with the full England squad as they prepared for their friendly match against Holland and then spent a successful loan spell with League One side AFC Bournemouth.
Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Matthew for his contribution during his time at the Club and wish him the best of luck with Queen's Park Rangers.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Well my ESB Fett is finally coming together so I'm piecing together the last bits and pieces I'll need. This is my scratchbuilt holster based upon known reference of the original Nemrod and the trimmed props and originals from the collection of Art Andrews and the great (I'm sure) casts from FettPride. I made a cardstock template around my dankennman blaster using trial and error until I got it to look right. Then transferred the pattern to Sintra and glued it together and repair puttied the seams and sanded to replicate the original shape.
The black marks are from a failed attempt at painting on Plasti-Dip to replicate the rubber material. If anyone has a better idea how to do it please comment and let me know. Otherwise it looks like I'm just gonna sand it a bit smoother and give it a coat of flat black. All comments/ criticisms welcome!

Last season, the acquisition of Tim Tebow by the New York Jets became the talk of the NFL despite the fact that Tebow rarely stepped onto the field. Now, the polarizing quarterback won't be playing at all for the Jets after the team released him Monday morning or less than 72 hours since New York drafted West Virginia QB Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL Draft. Smith and incumbent starter Mark Sanchez will compete for No. 1 job this offseason.
Fantasy Analysis:
Talk about your failed marriages. Worse than the fact Tebow attempted only eight passes and averaged less than three carries over the 12 games he participated in during 2012 was the fact that the national media -- in particular a certain four-letter network - breathlessly felt the need to update the masses every second of every day about non-existing developments. While that nightmare is over, a new one begins: speculation about where Tebow lands next might be worthy of a landing its own nightly TV show, perhaps on "the Ocho." The last time we saw the half QB-half HB play regular snaps he was leading the Denver Broncos to a playoff victory in 2011 and posting decent fantasy stats. However, his unconventional style and passing mechanics likely has most of the league shying away and to this point Tebow has passed on changing positions. The obvious fit for the former Florida Gator star is with the Jaguars, who interestingly did not select a QB during the NFL Draft. Tebow is an icon in that part of the world and Jacksonville's current passing tandem of Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne is hardly dynamic. If the Jaguars don't come calling, perhaps Tebow's long assumed career in the CFL begins. Let the speculation begin.

Dolphin Artists :: Opeth
Related ArtistsStrapping Young Lad, Lamb Of God
Opeth is a progressive metal band from Sweden that is influenced by many diverse musical styles ranging from jazz, 1970s progressive rock, death metal, and blues. Their recent releases have deviated from their traditional death metal influenced style, with more emphasis on progressive elements. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is also noted for utilizing both clean singing and death growls, often in the same track. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, Opeth are often classified separately from more typical death metal acts. Read more on Last.fm more

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Temporal Distance and Discrimination: An Audit Study in Academia
Modupe Akinola, Assistant Professor of Management at
Columbia Business School
Through a field experiment set in academia (with a sample of 6,548 professors), our study found that decisions about distant-future events were more likely to generate discrimination against women and minorities (relative to Caucasian males) than were decisions about near-future events. In this study, faculty members received e-mails from fictional prospective doctoral students seeking to schedule a meeting either that day or in 1 week; students' names signaled their race (Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Indian, or Chinese) and gender. When the requests were to meet in 1 week, Caucasian males were granted access to faculty members 26% more often than were women and minorities; also, compared with women and minorities, Caucasian males received more and faster responses. However, these patterns were essentially eliminated when prospective students requested a meeting that same day. In this session, we will discuss how the study's identification of a temporal discrimination effect is consistent with the predictions of construal-level theory and implies that subtle contextual shifts can alter patterns of race- and gender-based discrimination.
Lunch will be provided.

Not using monads and thus <hask>do</hask> notation can have advantages.
Revision as of 12:51, 5 November 2007
1 Criticism
Haskell's do notation is popular and ubiquitous. However we shall not ignore that there are several problems. Here we like to shed some light on aspects you may not have thought about, so far.
1.1 DidacticsThe
This is wanted in order to simplify writing imperative style code fragments. The downsides are
- that, since notation is used almost everywhere, wheredotakes place, newcomers quickly believe that theIOnotation is necessary for doingdo,IO
- and that newcomers think, that is somehow special and non-functional, in contrast to the advertisement for Haskell being purely functional.IO
These misunderstandings let people write clumsy code like
do putStrLn "text"
instead of
putStrLn "text"
do text <- getLine return text
instead of
do text <- readFile "foo" writeFile "bar" text
instead of
readFile "foo" >>= writeFile "bar"
1.2 Library designUnfortunately, the
See for instance the Binary package.It contains the
Even more unfortunate, the applicative functors were introduced to Haskell's standard libraries only after monads and arrows,thus many types are instances of
There is not special syntax for applicative functors because it is hardly necessary. You just write
data Header = Header Char Int Bool readHeader :: Get Header readHeader = liftA3 Header get get get
readHeader = Header <$> get <*> get <*> get
Consider a generator of unique identifiers.First you might think of a
run :: State Int a -> a run m = evalState m 0 newId :: State Int Int newId = do n <- get modify succ return n example :: (Int -> Int -> a) -> a example f = run $ do x <- newId y <- newId return (f x y)
1.3 SafetyWith
The silent neglect of return values of functions. In an imperative language it is common to return an error code and provide the real work by side effects. In Haskell this cannot happen, because functions have no side effects. If you ignore the result of a Haskell function the function will even not be evaluated.The situation is different for
You can write
do getLine putStrLn "text"
The same applies to
do System.cmd.system "echo foo >bar"
Is this behaviour wanted?
In safety oriented languages there are possibilities to explicitly ignore return values
EVAL in Modula-3).
Haskell does not need this, because you can already write
do _ <- System.cmd.system "echo foo >bar" return ()
(>>) :: m () -> m a -> m a
2 Useful applicationsIt shall be mentioned that the
E.g. in
getRight :: Either a b -> Maybe b getRight y = do Right x <- y return x
mdo x <- f x y z y <- g x y z z <- h x y z return (x+y+z)
mfix (\ ~( ~(x,y,z), _) -> do x <- f x y z y <- g x y z z <- h x y z return ((x,y,z),x+y+z))

I red it in a thread not to long a go
Wookieepedia - Mandalorian armor and go down to the Design section:
As of the Clone Wars, these colors were known to have significance:
Gray= Mourning a Lost Love
Red= Honoring a Father
Black= Justice
Gold= Vengeance
Green= Duty
Blue= Reliability
Orange= A Lust for Life
This problem be solved? use google?
esky rc heli
so boba fett is a guy
mourning the loss of a lover (his wife)
honoring a father
and has a certain lust for life and reliability (dependent on jet-pack but has on his cheeks) and a great sense of duty
Except his color scheme is the uniform of a Mandalorian Protector, which itself seems to have been taken from the latter-day True Mandalorian movement. Earlier Protectors such as Jaster and the nucleus of his early True Mandalorian group had bare-metal finish armor with contrasting shoulders and knees -- but not a consistent contrasting color. Makes sense given the aims of the True Mandalorians by that point -- duty and vengeance. The visor frames seem to be echoed by the later Grand Army of the Republic (at least at first) -- blue, red, yellow. The primary colors to indicate, quite possibly, apprentice, journeyman, master.
Other people seen wearing the exact same color scheme (with variation in gauntlets, rocketpacks, clan sigils, and helmet deco) include a younger Jango Fett, Silas, many unnamed True Mandalorians, Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and Spar. ;) And Dala specifically said it was the uniform of a Mandalorian Protector.

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - The U.S. Forest Service is offering $5 tree permits for people who would like to cut their Christmas trees in the Green Mountain National Forest.
The Forest Service's Vermont office says that in recent years the Green Mountain National Forest program has continued to grow in popularity. Last year, 431 permits were sold.
The permits can be purchased at Forest Service offices in Rutland, Middlebury, Manchester Center or Rochester.
The permit must be attached to the tree before it's transported, and it's up to the permit holder to know the boundaries of the National Forest.
Trees over 20 feet tall cannot be cut, and the stump left after the cutting must be less than 6 inches high.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Host and top-seeded Nazareth outscored fourth-seeded Utica 10-3 in the second half to break open a close game Wednesday and the Golden Flyers went on to take a 15-7 triumph over the Pioneers in men's lacrosse action at sun-baked Golden Flyer Stadium.
The win was the seventh straight for the 15th-ranked Flyers, who were competing in the first round of the Empire 8 Conference Tournament. Nazareth improved to 13-4 overall. Utica, competing in its first-ever E8 Tournament, is 9-7 overall. Nazareth will play again Saturday at 12 noon for the E8 title against third-seeded Ithaca, a 12-10 upset winner at Stevens in the other E8 playoff game.
Junior midfielder Collin Clark scored four goals for the Golden Flyers and freshman attackman Luke Wooters added three goals and three assists. Freshman Troy Haefele also scored twice and added two assists. Chris Aycock and Chris Peterson added two goals apiece and Nick Loscalzo and Chris Benza also scored.
Nazareth led just 5-4 after a methodically played first half, but the Golden Flyers exploded for four third-period goals to take command. They scored six more times in the fourth quarter to pull away.
Sophomore Drew Simoneau was his dominant self at the face-off position as he won 20 of 26 draws and scooped up 15 ground balls. Junior defenseman Jerry Chasteen had six ground balls and three caused turnovers.
Utica led 2-1 after one quarter before Nazareth rallied to scored four straight times, including goal numbers 50 and 51 on the season for Wooters. Clark also had an unassisted tally and Peterson scored a short-handed goal to stretch the lead to 5-2. The Pioneers trimmed the lead to 5-4 before halftime with goals from Zack Stevenson and Trent Jacobs.
Utica had chances to tie the score in the third quarter, but Nazareth goalie Scott Brown made a key save on a shot by the Pioneers' Joe Schoen with just over eight minutes left in the period. The outlet pass found the stick of Loscalzo, who sprinted down the field and scored unassisted to enable Nazareth to regain its two-goal cushion.
Loscalzo's goal triggered a five-goal flurry that spilled into the fourth quarter and ended with Nazareth up 10-4. Aycock and Troy Haefele scored man-up goals during that stretch and Wooters netted his third goal of the game and 52nd of the season.
Clark scored three more times for Nazareth in the fourth quarter to boost his season total to 24. The lead ballooned to 15-5 following goals by Benza and Peterson. The Pioneers closed out the scoring with goals from Jacobs and Ben Winkler.
Nazareth had advantages in shots (51-29) and ground balls (44-23) and was successful on 18 of 19 clearing attempts. Brown finished with eight saves and senior Tim Doyle had one in the fourth quarter. Utica goalies Andrew DiOrio and Trey Adams each played 30 minutes. DiOrio had seven saves and Adams six.
Nazareth shoots for its eighth conference championship (and first since 2009) and 20th NCAA Tournament berth Saturday against Ithaca. Nazareth defeated Ithaca 15-8 in a regular-season game on April 5 in a game that was tied 7-7 at halftime.

Discussion in 'January 2010' started by roscoe36, Nov 3, 2009.
Maybe Tay is on Kuester's fantasy team.
San Antonio is a good team, no doubt. But we competed with them pretty well most of the game - save when Atkins was given minutes because he is Dumar's buddy. With Atkins, we play with just 4 guys on defense, and on offense its worse since Atkins always takes a few dribbles to make it look like he is a point guard before hot potatoing the ball to the next guy, losing valuable seconds on the 24 second clock. Sound familiar? Hey, its one of the most important parts of what happened in this one. If Chucky goes negative 15 next game, I am sure I will mention it for the next game too. I just write what happens. If it happens game after game, that is what I write. Stuckey got injured and left the game early in the 3rd quarter. A collision left him with a sore knee. I have not heard an update as of yet. So we got to see Gordon run the point some. Actually, it was Tay bringing up the ball, and Rip playing as a point some. It did not look great, but we held right with SA thru the end of the 3rd, with no point guard out there. Believe me, no point guard is a lot better than playing Chucky Atkins. CV did not do that bad, but why have a guy go from starter to DNP? You would think there would be a middle ground somewhere. JJ only got in for a bit of garbage time in this one. JMAX got the start, but as usual when he starts, did not get starters minutes. We did fine when he was in (not counting garbage time.) (and PS, no, I don't think JMAX should get starters minutes. About what he got is perfect for him.) Ben has seemed to have found a new offensive weopon, using the rim to protect his layups. (using reverse layups or going lefty.) He even made a freethrow. Like JJ starting out on Dirk yesterday, Ben did well initially guarding Duncan. Just could not sustain it. Rip, good news, he has his shot back. Scored about 30 tonight. Backing people down and shooting over them. Thats different for him, at least as far as doing it consistently for a whole game. CV did not shoot that well percentage wise, but he got several of his misses back, and a couple of other's misses too. CV is getting posted up, and making something out of it often enough. Gordon seemed to have a lot of misses, but also scored a lot. Tay, a bit of everything. I think he was totally out of gas though for the 4th quarter. He some kind of knee injury hampering him. Stuckey scored enough until the injury. Bynum did not play while waiting for his ankles to heal all the way. Daye got in very briefly, doing about as well as you would expect after barely playing as of late. Which means Kuester achieved a trifecta, leaving all three small forwards we just drafted out of the rotation. (While of course managing to never play a small forward at backup small forward.) Small ball still in full bloom. At least we did not use Tay at power forward. And we still just are not doing any good going small. Our starting unit, featuring a small forward at small forward, even as rusty on out of shape that he is from missing most of the season, is doing fine, showing plenty of game against two good Texas teams these two nights. (Of course, small ball is including Atkins, so maybe you don't want to condemn small ball in and of itself.) Wilcox would have a good report tonight - if he had not missed 4 of 4 from the line. He got a bit too rambunctious on a slam try, and missed. That would have just about brought the roof down if he had made it. It turned out good though, since we got the bound, ran the clock out for the quarter with a made shot dancing on the rim while time expired. (Rip.) Rip actually got the ball to Wilcox in the post. (and Wilcox got fouled.) Progress. Rip also had got the ball for Wilcox easy scores Wednesday night. Hopefully, good chemistry is developing there.
My choice of "Comment" of the day
I have nothing good to say, so I will say little. This was another bad loss, we're going backwards by playing Rip and Tay all of these minutes. I'm not sure anyone outside of Joe Dumars' employ thinks either are all-stars.
Hopefully showcasing of Tay, Rip and Max began - meanning that at the trade deadline we will be officially in tanking mode... (it's so sad to wait for tanking...)
Q's job is safe. I'm pretty sure. Rip is untradeable.
It's early, but what if he loses another 9 in a row or even worst goes for O for january?? No one can survived that unless your name is Don Nelson, Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich or Norm Sloan.
IF we don't win just a SINGLE game in January I'll be soooo crazy maaann..
do you think, new coach can handle better 3SG (rip, stuckey, bg) minutes? and neither kwame or maxiell or wilcox won't play miracuously better for new coach too.
Dumars has to save his butt. The seats will be empty, the concessions will generate little revenue. The Pistons gain greatly when they play well, because they own the building and all the concessions. They take all of the losses when attendance is bad. I don't think Joe is going to get fired, but the bean counters won't let him do nothing. There will be pressure from above, because the shareholders (and stakeholders) must be satisfied.
Good point, least we forget that it is a business. A lot of the tickets they have been selling are 1/2 price, 4-packs, ... So I doubt they are making a lot of money these days.
I have not seen the game yet but was there any special reason for JJ only playing 2 mins? Or has Q lost his mind completely?
They have cash on the books, they're able to sustain a season like this, maybe two if we see some promise on the horizon. The hoop IQ of CV and Chris Wilcox don't add up to a nickel's worth of sense. I like both of them, I really do, but man they're clueless; so what does it say for a coach to continually pair them together AND add Chucky Atkins to the mix?
I think we're tanking this season. I hope that is what it is.
But if thats the case, shouldn't we develop the young guns instead? I think it's bad enough that Daye and Summers don't play at all and now JJ too.
JJ is too good to play. If we play him, we might accidentally win some games. Then we won't be tanking.
The scary thing is that San Antonio was just TOYING with us until the 4th, when they put the pedal to the metal.(Defense) Hard for me to consider the rebuild talk when we're still in the freefall mode.
I think JJ has started almost every game this year up to this point. And the game before, he was pretty flat. They may just be giving him a rest. He's a rookie afterall and an energy player, so he may hit that endurance wall if they keep pushing him.
I think he's doing what we've been wanting a coach to do for maybe the past six or seven years - experiment with lineups, don't be afraid to change, etc. Do I think Max should start over JJ? No, personally I don't, but he certainly could be hitting a rookie wall and need a little time. But, I am glad to see guys being given a chance to put their imprint on a game by starting rather than being dumped in for 12 minutes instead of six somewhere along the way.
Perhaps but I don't think he was very flat. He only played 14 minutes and did a good joob on Dirk. Had to take couple of hard shots. There should be some steps between starter and garbage time player. I think Kuester lacks consistency and these cind of big changes just exposes he is clueless how to coach this team. At least I know JJ wont hurt by this, he has been proving people wrong his whole career. He will make it impossible for Q not to play him. Provided they're not tanking though.
Separate names with a comma.

Nice! Very jealous... :P
What helmet is that?
It is a rep from an MS1. I found a guy who moulds them and puts them up on EBay. Thanks for the comment.
Looks nice.
By no means am I professional but I would say the paint needs some work. There are some great posts out there discussing painting in layers. Super easy to do and the results are just beautifil.
Where did you get the rocket pack, Thats one of the major things that I am missing and really need to work on getting one.
I built it myself. I just started another one that will be more accurate. The pix dont do it justice but The helmet has about 3 layers of primer, 2 layers of silver, 1 more layer of primer and then 2 coats of the actual colors. The armor has 2 coats of primer, 2 silver and then 2 coats of green. The yallow was grafted in on the edges. The scratches were done with liquid laytex in layers. The ROTJ helmet does not have as much damage as the ESB. The ESB has alot more detail on the back. I do appreciate the response
The suit looks really good. The things that could use slight improvements are pulling up the jet pack a little higher and tighter, dulling down the colors of the gauntlets and knees with some gray primer mist, and lastly as a ROTJ Fett lighten up the boots a bit so they look more faded.
Great job overall and really great job building the jet pack!
I did pull it up and the pics are at the end and I'll try the primer mist. Just a grey primer? The boots are the way they are. I used the MoM as a guide. So I dont think I'll be able to lighten them up. Thanks for the advice.
great job.
looks pretty darn good to me

"It was a good recipe but won't make again. Tasted like I poured italian dressing over it. Just wasn't worth the effort for me."
"Excellent recipe. My version of this recipe was a little different. I used 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings as my recipe called for the addition of 4 slices of sodium reduced bacon. I would keep the bacon but switch up the bacon drippings in my recipe for the olive oil in this version, much healtheir!!"
"This was very good. The only difference I did was to use regular tomatoes as I did not have any cherry tomatoes."

"Little John" Przybylinski Celebrates 50 Years With RPW/Elite
Company honors dedicated employee with a shiny new Cadillac SRX
John "Little John" Przybylinski celebrated 50 years of dedicated service to RPW/Elite in Milwaukee.
Company owner Jaime Maliszewski reports the following celebration took place, which included a new Cadillac SUV:
"Over 50 past and current customers and suppliers, as well as, family and friends showed up at Tuckaway CC to surprise John with a luncheon and roast. Jeff Maliszewski let John know that many of his co-workers really wanted to come to the party as well, but when they heard it was NOT a retirement party they all lost interest. John's wife Sandy was there along with his son and daughters that came in from out of town with their families. There was a lot of talk about old times and many embarrassing and fun stories. It all built to a gift presentation for his loyalty. John was taken to the window and when he looked down there was a sign saying "Thank you for 50 Years!" next to a shiny new Cadillac SRX. This caused John to be speechless, which for those that know John, you know this was an absolute miracle in itself. Thanks again John, you deserve this and we hope you enjoy it with your great family."
Congratulations, John, from Products Finishing. Watch this video HERE:

Thomas Vermaelen insists Arsenal try to win every match they play in - whatever the competition.
Arsène Wenger's side host Manchester City in the Quarter-Finals of the Carling Cup on Tuesday night and the Arsenal manager has to decide which – if any – of his frontline players to rest.
Whichever XI takes to the field, Vermaelen expects them to give 100 per cent.
"We're taking everything seriously," he said. "If you're at a club like Arsenal you want to win every game. Every game is important and we take everything seriously.
"I don't know who is going to play, maybe it will be a mix and maybe it will be a first team. We haven't talked about it yet.
"Of course I want to play every game because I haven't played too much," he added. "I think I am able.
"It's up to the boss and it is his decision but I feel good and fit enough to play so we'll see next week."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Intending to take a left and go up the old road, I proceeded to march right past it. Figuring I'd better head up somehow, I picked a drainage, a bushy not so sexy drainage, and headed straight up toward the summit. A real lollapalooza.

|There was a lot of snow on the ground and the start to the trail was difficult to see. Parking your car on the shoulder of this road at exactly 1 mile past the bridge and .4 of a mile past the 1 mile marker will get you very close. If you cannot find the start of the rough 4WD path due to snow, begin heading due north from the road and you will run into the 4WD trail which heads to the northeast towards the peak. Follow the 4WD trail up until until about 7,500 feet when you will see electricity posts and wires. This should be about 1.5 miles into the hike. Once you get to the top of the ridge where the hiker's hut is the antenna covered summit comes into view a few hundred yards ahead. My round trip distance was about 3.8 miles, gaining nearly 1,700 feet. It had snowed the night before I went so it was slow going to the top, taking about 2 hours. I then ran down in about 25 minutes.

|Left Nevada City at 6:15 and back before noon. Skied off the summit at about 10:00 just as the sun was beginning to soften the upper centimeter, so made for a quick morning sneak-away-from-work-trip.

|Like other people, I couldn't find the old Jeep trail, so I just slogged up the SE face on snowshoes. The snow was good, but it was really warm going up. The summit was really cool. I climbd the medium sized radio tower for an added rush. Checked out the old lookout hut as well. Coming down was very fun, I just glided down the snow on my shoes. Went snowboarding afterwards. 3 hours, roundtrip.

|The last of three enjoyable days out around I-80 with Bob. We took the old jeep road/trail up, and followed the ridge almost all the way down. Nice views and spectacular weather--65° out when we got back to the car!

|It was very hot for Feb but I still used snowshoes the entire way. Great views but wondered if I was getting nuked by RF and microwaves. Got in some nice glissading in corn snow on the way down.

|I had a fun time on this peak. The gate was locked, so i walked up the road looking for the jeep trail that leads to the Hut and then the summit. i guess i went pass the trail, so desided to head straight up the east face. With careful route finding you could avoid most of the bushes. Soon you are on the road and the top. Lots to see in the Northern Sierra and just a nice place to be. Find the good trail down on the south from the Hut.

Kyle Van Noy stared, squinted and strained, barely making out some of the numbers that jumped off a stat sheet suitable for framing.
The BYU linebacker eventually gave up, having experienced limited success in deciphering his defense's work Saturday.
"I don't have my glasses," Van Noy explained.
That's a valid excuse. As for the Yellow Jackets, well, coach Paul Johnson's analysis is sufficient. "We flat-out got our tails whipped," he said after BYU's 41-17 victory at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
In a broad sense, the Cougars' all-around performance came too late to make this a genuinely memorable season. Yet the usually dynamic Georgia Tech offense served an important purpose.
Tech's futility cemented this 2012 BYU defense as the best in school history.
The tragedy is that the defense's phenomenal work partly has been wasted by an offense that through some combination of inconsistency, injuries and inadequate coaching and quarterbacking simply could not match the defense's standards.
The offense was fine Saturday, overcoming Riley Nelson's interception that Tech returned for a touchdown by sustaining drives and taking advantage of excellent field position. It all came together for the Cougars in this game, which has not always been the case this season.
Don't be deceived by Tech's 17 points. Two touchdowns came via that interception and a kickoff return. This makes five games in which the BYU defense has not allowed a touchdown, and Georgia Tech's innovative option scheme makes this performance the most impressive of all.
"I haven't coached any [defense] like this yet," said BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall, in a statement that accounts for 20 years of working with college defenses.
In BYU history, this defense now tops the 1986 group led by linemen Jason Buck and Shawn Knight and the '98 unit headlined by linebacker Rob Morris. Those teams also had unfulfilling seasons because of the offenses' struggles.
Looking ahead, Mendenhall is eager to "see how good we can get" and "see how much potential we can squeeze out of this team." Yet the reality is that BYU (5-4) can prove only so much against its remaining opponents.
For that reason, the credibility earned against Georgia Tech's offense is vital to how this defense will be remembered. The Yellow Jackets were averaging 339 rushing yards and 497 total yards; BYU held them to 117 and 157.
Tech went 0 for 10 in third-down conversions and failed to score an offensive touchdown for only the second time in Johnson's five seasons. Time of possession is often meaningless, but not in Tech's case. With considerable help from BYU's offense, the Cougars allowed the home team to hold the ball for barely 21 minutes.
"We had a blast out there," safety Daniel Sorensen said. "We love when teams try to to run the ball and come after us."
After wearing down and allowing Notre Dame to run for 270 yards, BYU responded. "I think it came down to a lot of pride," Sorensen said. "That affected us a lot."
And with Sorensen's interception return to the 2-yard line and Van Noy's blocked punt at the Tech 13, BYU's defensive players basically can take credit for 14 points, while allowing three.
Summarizing the defense's season, Van Noy said, "It's been really good, but we're not finished yet."
Those words should be frightening to BYU's remaining opponents, undistinguished as they are.

Just had to post about this experience. I have yet to join the 501st with my RotJ Fett (application pending) This past weekend I learned from a friend of a friend (who is in the 501st) that the 501st was going to appear at a local theater here in Omaha. They were at the theater for it's grand opening a year ago, and were asked to return. So another friend of mine and I went to go meet them. Upon entering we came face to face with an Imperial officer and a Stormtrooper greeting customers of the theater. We stepped up and introduced ourselves as prospective members. (the friend I was with is starting a republic commando) After some talk, the topic of my Fett outfit came up. I said I still had a few things to top it off. (namely, tubes for the right gaunt, I had just received my girth belt the previous night and had yet to wear it, and I had been fitting my jet pack with a new harness.) The Imperial officer turned to me and asked "is it wearable?" I said sure, and that I had worn it for Halloween this year.
"Go get it," he said, totally straight-faced.
I froze, and subsequently wet myself.
The 501st was really asking me to troop with them after just meeting me within the last 5mins. He assured me it was fine, they had a place for me to change, and was more than welcome to join them for the two day event. I drove home like a maniac, finished up a few bits of the costume, and raced back. They helped my friend and I get me into the outfit (they had an amazing knowledge of assembling a Fett costume) and out into the lobby. I was beyond excited. I got to troop with them for the day, and returned the next day. We got a tour of the inner-workings of the theater, and they let us see the Dark Knight trailer before "I am Legend," and they even took the pictures for my 501st application. These guys were the best, and I'm thrilled to be a future part of the family. They were all surprised that there was someone in Omaha with a 99% complete Fett that they had never heard of. Thanks to TDH for that. The pictures of the event are here:
I'm on top of the world.
Now to get started on the upgrades...

GunnersGaming make Arsenal 1/2 shots to beat Norwich at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The Gunners have started the season well and come into the game in seventh place having comprehensively beaten West Ham 3-1 last time out.
The Canaries, on the other hand, have failed to win a game this season and are currently second bottom.
Olivier Giroud will come into the game full of confidence, after adding to his first Premier League goal against West Ham with a last-gasp equaliser for France during the week.
He is 9/2 to score the first goal, and 5/4 to net anytime.
Over 3.5 goals can be backed at odds of 7/5 with Gunnersgaming.
Arsenal won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season and a repeat of that scoreline is priced up at 36/5. However, with plenty of goals a possibility, a 4-1 win could be value at 21/1.

Well, Danno, we did start regulating large sales of fertilizer to nonfarmers. And, Danno, nobody here on this thread has yet suggested banning anything, so I wonder where on earth your argument is coming from.
Ouch, I'm sorry about that :(Still, the argument doesn't really stand up, as we DID start regulating large amounts of fertilizer after that.
You want the real answer??Humans are animals, in the category of mammals. They are born with different abilities, both mental and physical. Why will one dog be friendly, and one mean, of the same breed? It is the difference in mental ability, mental reaction, and physical environment. If the mean dog is allowed the same freedoms as the friendly dog, someone will get hurt.If people who have shown to be unstable are allowed to roam free, people will be hurt.There is no cure, but the only effective treatment is to remove known unstable and mean thinking people. The problem there, is deciding to what extent of mean and unstable. Since there is no answer to that, the problem will never be fully eliminated.
I'm genuinely interested in what you think the problem is, then.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top Cancer hospitals in the nation for 2016-2017 by U.S. News & World Report
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is an intensive radiation treatment that's administered during surgery.
IORT allows direct radiation to the target area while sparing normal surrounding tissue. IORT is used to treat cancers that are difficult to remove during surgery and there is a concern that microscopic amounts of cancer may remain.
The type of IORT most commonly used at Mayo Clinic is also called intraoperative electron radiation therapy. IORT is often combined with conventional radiation therapy, which is usually administered before surgery.
IORT allows higher effective doses of radiation to be used compared to conventional radiation therapy. It's not always possible to use very high doses during conventional radiation therapy, since sensitive organs could be nearby. IORT also allows doctors to temporarily move nearby organs or shield them from radiation exposure.

We sure mishandled the process, said Bassin, co-owner of the Ontario Hockey Leagues Erie Otters. I am not saying it was him or anyone else. The question within the group was about what it was worth or what the value was. It was an easy, solvable thing. It bogged us down, but there was active, honest interest and capability. You could say we fumbled it.

I was at Delmar from 9/79-4/80 at Schwab from 4/80-4/81 and at courthouse bay from 4/81-6/82 when not out on floats. I have looked at these pictures over the last several years and they bring back memories. Not all good, not all bad.
- Joe Cason, Thu, 12 May 2016 12:35AM
I'm the Marine you met at the commuter lot in Newington today, Cris. Your pictures brought back a lot of good memories.
I graduated boot camp at PI in November '81 and spent most of my first hitch with 3/8 out of Geiger, during which time I enjoyed a few months in Beirut with 24 MAU Peacekeeping Force in '82-'83. The remainder of those first three years I was with 2nd LAV Bn at mainside Lejeune.
After I reenlisted, I was initially assigned to DCo, 3d Tracs at the Stumps, then reassigned to 5/11, the arty battalion there. Followed that up with two years of sea duty aboard the battleship Iowa, then ended my career at 1st Landing Support Battalion at DelMar.
It was nice meeting you today, Cris. Perhaps we'll bump into one another again some time. Until then, Semper fi, brother.

Wow, great memories. I was at Lejeune 77-79, schwab 79, pendleton 1980. I don't have a single picture of when I was in - as you said, nobody had cameras then. This was especially true for 03's, as we had to carry every single thing and even then everything always got beat up, etc. I took an instamatic out w/me to field once and it got soaked or crushed or something, my short-lived USMC photography career. So I really appreciate all these pics, although I don't know anyone, wasn't in tracs.

I think they took it down a couple yrs. ago. I plan on returning there someday, before they construct that a)irfield at Schwab (right over coral reefs). What a shame.

I am looking for my father. I have found a book with a picture of him. The book does not have a year but I believe it is around 1979-1980. The front of the book says "Marine Corps Recruit Depot" San Diego California, First Battalion, Platoon 1024. His name is Timothy Patrick Wright. If anyone has any information on him or knows how I could find anything about him with this lead, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Any info would be greatly appreciated. [Editor: Sandra, I didn't know him during my tour but I hope a visitor to this site does and contacts you. Best of luck and prayers! Let us know if you find him! -Cris aka: AmericanJarhead]

I was an amtracker (1833) in 1st Tracked Veh Bn on Okinawa in B Co. in 1980-1981. All of your photos of LVT operations on the beach, .50 cal range, on LSTs, etc., and downtown Henoko are just like old times! Thanks for documenting all of this and saving the pictures. And you have the only photo I have ever seen of somebody working the butts at the rifle range. Not that any of us would ever forget what any of that looked like. It's just weird to see a photo of it 25 years later and it looks exactly the way you remember it.

Great to see the photos from your era, and recall some of the same sites from decades before. The Camp Pendleton shots all seem quite familiar since Pendleton hasn't changed much. Even today, when I attend various events and ceremonies there, the terrain and most of the buildings seem frozen in time.
It is Okinawa where the change is enormous. As you know, I made the landing there April 1, 1945, and the Okinawa in your photos bear little resemblance to my recollections. I left there in September 1945 to go to China with the 1st Marine Division, and have never been back. Can't decide actually if I even want to go back.

I was at Horno and in 1/9 from 80-84. I was H&S Co. Comm. Plt. I was the radio operator for Bravo and Charlie Co. at different times. Did you by chance go to Deago Garcia with C co. in late 83 early 84. Do you remember Capt. Kidney.

I was in 3/1 @ Horno from 1984 to 1989. Went on 3 WESTPACS. As a radio tech, I rode inside the Communications AAV during 11th MAU WESTPAC operations in 1985, so I liked the pictures of the AAV climbing the ramp into the LST (USS Cayuga?).
