Fox's Henneberg did not challenge Swift Boat member Bud Day's false claim that Clark served in Vietnam for only one month
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
Fox News' Molly Henneberg uncritically reported the assertion by Bud Day, a member of the then-named Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, that Wesley Clark "spent a month in Vietnam, got badly wounded, evacuated, and that was his Vietnam experience." In fact, according to documents posted on the website for Clark's 2004 presidential campaign, Clark served at least six months in Vietnam -- first as a 1st Infantry Division staff officer, then as an infantry company commander -- before he was wounded.
On the June 30 edition of Fox News' Special Report, news correspondent Molly Henneberg uncritically reported retired Air Force Col. George E. "Bud" Day's assertion that retired Gen. Wesley Clark "spent a month in Vietnam, got badly wounded, evacuated, and that was his Vietnam experience." Day, a member of what Sen. John McCain has dubbed his "Truth Squad," was responding to Clark's June 29 comments on CBS' Face the Nation. According to Henneberg, Day was "incensed" by Clark's comments and, on a McCain campaign conference call, said, "General Clark spent a month in Vietnam, got badly wounded, evacuated, and that was his Vietnam experience. I'd say let's hold the two of them up and see who's most qualified to talk about their experience as a combat officer." In fact, Clark served at least six months in Vietnam, first as a 1st Infantry Division staff officer (assistant G-3) from July 1969 until January 1970, and then as an infantry company commander from January 1970 until he was wounded in combat on February 19, 1970.
Military documents posted on the website of Clark's 2004 presidential campaign document his service in Vietnam, beginning with his September 10, 1969 Officer Efficiency Report identifies him as "an Assistant G-3 of the 1st Infantry Division," and his superior states in that report that he has used Clark as "a Special Projects Officer." His October 21, 1969, Army Officer Efficiency Report states that he was the G-3 "Research and Evaluation Officer" "[e]ngaged in counterinsurgency operations in Vietnam," and his January 4, 1970, Army Officer Efficiency Report states that Clark was "the chief of the research and evaluation division of the G-3 section." Clark's Officer Evaluation Report for January 5 to February 22, 1970 identifies his position as "[c]ommanding [o]fficer" and states that he "has commanded a mechanized rifle infantry company in combat in a truly outstanding manner." Clark was wounded in combat on February 19, 1970, and a week later, was awarded the Silver Star for his actions on that day.
Clark described his arrival in Vietnam in his 2007 autobiography, A Time to Lead: For Duty, Honor and Country (Palgrave Macmillan):
Gert was four months pregnant when I left for Vietnam in July 1969, and we were able to set her up to live with another waiting wife. I would leave behind Gert as well as my mother and stepfather, and I could imagine what they felt. But I tried not to think about that too much, I just kissed Gert goodbye at JFK airport and walked away. I wrote, and we talked, and I loved her, but Vietnam was what I felt called to do. It was time for me to go.
In July 1969, I stepped off the chartered Boeing 707 and into the bright sunshine of Vietnam, carrying the mixed baggage of homesickness, hard determination and a lot of suppressed excitement. This was it. I had arrived, one of more than 500,000 American soldiers and Marines inside Vietnam that day, one of the more than two million who would serve on the ground in that war. [Page 85]
After a couple of days I got word that I would be assigned to the 1st Infantry Division. The Big Red One, whose main base camp was at Di An, a few miles north of Saigon. It took less than an hour to get there and as soon as I had disposed of my duffel bags, I reported in to the headquarters.
I was hoping, of course, to be given command of a company in combat, though I didn't know what my chances of getting such an assignment were. But they had long known I was coming, and my duties had already been decided for me. [Page 86]
Early the next morning, I got the summons: "Captain Clark, get your gear. You're leaving early."
But instead of heading into combat to lead an infantry company, I was being sent to the division headquarters, another thirty miles north in Lai Khe. I was going to be placed on the division staff, as one of several hundred officers associated with the headquarters. I was rear-area duty. No patrols. No air assaults. No leadership. [Page 86]
I went in [to the briefing] with shined boots and freshly pressed jungle fatigues, and I was lucky if I came out in one piece, since the division's senior officers had been out flying around all day, visiting units, checking activities, and getting a sense for what was happening, knowing that at every moment their men's lives were on the line. Occasionally an enemy rocket would land in the headquarters area, which meant we weren't exactly safe. And I habitually slept with a loaded M-16 in my bunk on the base's perimeter. Still, it was definitely rear-area duty. [Page 88]
As Media Matters for America has noted, Day was a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an organization that promoted false and baseless smears about Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) military service during the 2004 presidential campaign.
From the June 30 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
[begin video clip]
HENNEBERG: McCain's plane was shot down over North Vietnam in October 1967. He was then held and tortured as a prisoner of war for five-and-a-half years. Today, Obama's campaign says Obama rejects General Clark's comments. The candidate also tried to separate himself from his surrogate when talking about sacrificing for one's country.
OBAMA: For those like John McCain, who have endured physical torment in service to our country, no further proof of such sacrifice is necessary. Let me also add that no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign.
HENNEBERG: Not enough for McCain's military surrogates, including two of his fellow POWs, who, on a conference call, were incensed by Clark's remarks.
DAY: General Clark spent a month in Vietnam, got badly wounded, evacuated, and that was his Vietnam experience. I'd say let's hold the two of them up and see who's most qualified to talk about their experience as a combat officer.
LT. COL. ORSON SWINDLE, USMC (RET.): I just recall very vividly that Senator Obama said he was running -- he was going to run a civil campaign. This is not a civil campaign.
HENNEBERG: McCain suggested this type of attack may be a coordinated effort by the Obama campaign.
McCAIN: I know that many -- that General Clark is not an isolated incident, but I have no way of knowing how much involvement Senator Obama has in that issue.
[end video clip]
HENNEBERG: The McCain people point to earlier comments by two Democratic senators -- Jay Rockefeller and Tom Harkin. Rockefeller, who endorsed Obama in February, criticized McCain in April for not knowing what happened on the ground after his plane dropped bombs in Vietnam. Harkin said in May, a couple of weeks before he endorsed Obama, that McCain is, quote, "trapped in a world view shaped by the military," and that, Harkin said, quote, "can be pretty dangerous" -- Brit.
BRIT HUME (host): Molly, thank you.
From the June 30 conference call with the McCain "Truth Squad":
REPORTER: Greetings, thanks for having us. What do you expect there Senator [Barack] Obama to do? Are you asking him to criticize General Clark's remarks, and I just -- also I want to ask if you would comment on Senator Obama today is giving a big speech on what patriot, you know -- patriotism today. In light of what you folks are complaining about, can you comment on that as well?
DAY: This is Colonel Bud Day. Let me just add one remark here. As I said, John McCain served some 65 months in a Vietnamese POW camp, plus some additional time that he served on the previous ship. Things were very difficult. He was horribly wounded in all of his extremities, questionable if he would ever live through that experience. He set a high standard for himself because the Vietnamese tried to release him, wanted him to go home early. He showed the character that every military officer would hope that he had by refusing anything like that to come about. We had the opportunity also to watch a president in office -- a Democrat -- who was extremely ineffective during those years. He learned a huge amount from that. So, I'm saying that some five-and-a-half years of experience in Vietnam was extremely important -- he learned an awful lot of lessons.
Now, General Clark spent a month in Vietnam, got badly wounded, evacuated -- and that was his Vietnam experience. I'd say let's hold the two of them up and see who's most qualified to talk about their experience as a combat officer.

text: I just saw on the news a Memorial Servica/Ceremony at Cape Canaveral to mark this sad Anniversary. It doesn't seem possible it was *that* long ago. Even though I *know* that wasn't the cause of the Shuttle exploding, when I hear the CAPCOM Officer give to the Shuttle the command of "Go to Throttle Up" when I'm watching a Shuttle Launch, I to this day look away. I just can't look, even though I know in my mind that's not what caused it, try telling my heart that. So...Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? I was just getting off the bus from a day at Jr High when the driver asked me if I'd heard about the Shuttle and I'd told her no. She told me it had blown up, but I thought she was just making that up to get a reaction from me, as it was well known what a Space Geek I am. Then I got home and Mom nearly pulled my arm out of it's socket before I even had the door open. For the rest of the night, I was parked in front of the TV and in shock. It really is one of those "Where were you?" moments for my Generation. I still often wonder how Christa McAullife's family is doing all these years later, as there was so much coverage of her being the First Teacher in Space. Not only her Family, but the others as well. May they all Rest In Peace.

If the Check Engine Light (CEL) is illuminated there will be code information that can be down loaded from a connector on the bottom of the instrument panel. Go to this web site for instructions to use the connector and the CEL light to read the codes without a code reader tool: >>> How to read older GM OBD diagnostic codes for free >>>.
Go to this web site to get the list of GM OBD 1 codes: >>> OBD-1 Diagnostic Trouble Codes >>>. OBD 1 stands for On Board Diagnostics (generation) 1. This is used from about 1984 through 1995 for models with electronic fuel injection of which TBI is one of several types.
New fuel pump if this still has TBI the pump is in the fuel tank and is a pretty large effort to replace, is that what you did or had done? A fuel pump on the side of the engine, forward on the passenger side, would indicate the engine has either been replaced and the fuel system modified to a carburetor, or the existing engine was similarly modified to accept a carburetor.
Cylinders 1 and 8 are at opposite ends of the engine, 1 being the front drivers side and 8 the rear passenger side. However they follow each other in firing order (1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2), this is how the distributor cap should be wired. The rotor within the cap rotates clockwise when viewed from above, which of course is the only view of it you're going to get.
One of the risks with the Chevy Small Block is wear and loss of cam lobes where flat tappet cams are used which is what is found in the vast majority of pre-1996 pick-ups. There is always the possibility that you mechanic has diagnosed this and this could be the reason he recommends engine replacement. This is easy to check for by removing the rocker covers to watch the amount of valve action, little compared to the others would indicate a wiped out cam lobe and tappet.
A truck this old could be having problems with the timing chain and gears. This allows the cam to fall out of synchronization with the crankshaft. But this is a problem well leave for another day.
The 1 and 8 spark plug firing problem if real could be in the distributor cap. First check to see that the plug wires are pushed tightly into the cap. Then inspect their lengths for damage. Running the engine in the dark and looking for electrical arcs is one way of isolating high voltage leaks as you can see them. Given that 1 and 8 are next to each other on the cap terminals there could be arcing between them inside the cap. Removal of the cap and careful inspection will show trails that look a lot like a crack in the plastic. Part of the tune up for the HEI ignition should include a cap and rotor as the high energy of these systems erodes the contacts.
Check engine vacuum, this is a pretty mildly cammed engine so it should be high certainly above 16 inches at idle and steady. A vacuum check is a good diagnostic to isolate problems. Follow this link for more detail: >>> How to Use and Interpret a Vacuum Gauge >>>.
I'd highly recommend purchasing a service manual for this truck. The common over the counter manuals from Haynes or Chiltons are reasonably priced and contain a wealth of information.
|The truck starts really good and sounds good when it is in park. Once you put it in gear it starts shimming and sounding like it's going to fall apart
|Thank you all for your responses! I bought the new distributor cap and button thingy and tried that and still, it's the same. I put some fuel injection cleaner in the gas tank and still the same. Just acts like it is not getting enough power. This is getting so frustrating for me.
Help with engine
I have done several Google searches on your problem. You really need someone that can check computer codes as well as other sensors. There is a few checks you can do. Use a can of carburetor cleaner with the engine running, spray along the intake manifold where it bolts to the engine block. Also spray along the throttle body where it bolts to the intake manifold. You are looking for vacuum leaks. if you have a leak the engine will speed up. The coolant temp sensor has to be checked with a digital ohm meter. This should show a reading of 200 ohms or more. If not replace it. IAC-Idle Air Control has to be checked by a dealer. It can be taken off and use carburetor spray to clean the carbon off of it. Spray inside the hole where it bolts up too. The fuel pump pressure needs to be checked. It should have 13-15 lbs and rev the engine to see if pressure drops. Replace the fuel filter under the cab of the truck on the inside of the frame rail. The EGR Valve and the EGR solenoid need to be checked. There is a possibility you may have got gas with water in it. Get a bottle of Chevron Fuel System Cleaner and a bottle of water remover and pour into gas tank. Just drive it around the block a couple of times to see if it clears up.
|Plus don't forget about youtube. Lots of good instructional vids there too!
That year truck was known to have failure of the reluctor in the distributor.

Good luck.
Rotor button is inside the cap. You can't miss it.
Google is your freind. Here's a link how to change the cap and rotor.
This link is a sample. Match up the pics on it to see if this is what your motor looks like.
Anything you need to find "HOW TO" do just google HOW TO_______

|Also, can you tell me where the rotor button is?
|I really don't trust my mechanic...LOL I live in a small town and he is the only one around who does mechanic work. So I think he is trying to make money off of me and if he doesn't need a new engine that would be so sweet. He said the number one and number eight were loosing compression, but when I put it in gear it wants to shake or shimmy and then when it does run awhile it dies. I'm not sure about the motor if they didn't come out till 96 then it would have to of been replaced before. My son loves this ugly truck and if i can get out with less than 200.00 by fixing it, that would be nice. But if we need a new motor I just can't go that route. I will pick up a distributor cap one day this week and try to put it on my self...I'm sure it can't be that hard, right? And hopefully that will work. If not i'll go from there. Thank you all for your responses.
Find a better mechanic.
THe firing order for your truck is 18436572. As you see 1 and 8 are side by side on the distributor cap. Could be just a cracked cap.
Get another opinion from a trusted (ask around) private garage. It could be just a bad wire/plug or headgasket or possibly a bad cylinder head.
^^^^^^^ woops slow typer. What he said also.. Bob
Help with engine
Hi, If this truck is a 1991 has it had the motor replaced before? The Vortec motors didn't come out until 1996. Well is your mechanic trustworthy. He should have done compression test on each cylinder. (everywhere there is a spark plug) If there is no fire to #1 and #8 cylinder it could be something simple as a bad distributor cap and rotor button. It also could be a bad ignition coil.
Help with engine
My son has a 1991 Chevrolet silver-ado with a 350 vortech engine ( i am a mother and don't know anything about vehicles LOL) I bought his truck from a man who let it sit up about 5 years, when we first got the truck we put a new alternator, battery, spark plugs and wires and a new fuel pump on it. The truck ran fine for about 2 months and then one day on his way home from work. He turned off the interstate and it died. He finally made it home and I took it to a mechanic who said his number 1 and number 8 cylinders are not firing and he needs a new engine. The truck does not smoke and runs fine until it gets hot then it acts like it wants to shake when you put it in gear. My ? is does anyone know anything about this or if this has happened to them or is the mechanic right and he need a new engine? What should I do? My son is only 17 and knows nothing about cars either so i'm stumped as do i put money in this or just give up and try and buy something else.

The Canisius College men's and women's cross country teams competed at the 2012 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando on Saturday morning. A total of 16 runners set personal bests, as the Golden Griffin men finished fourth overall, while the women placed sixth.
Finishing fourth overall, the Golden Griffin men recorded their best team-performance at the conference championships since 2002. In addition, it was their best showing at the MAAC Championships in the Sunshine State since placing fifth in 2000.
"Our men took a large step forward as a program today, we closed the gap between us and the top teams in the MAAC," said head coach Nate Huckle. "I'm proud of both teams and our program overall. We approached this race with confidence and determination, and they represented Canisius well."
In the men's race, fourth nationally-ranked Iona captured their 22nd consecutive conference title, as they secured seven of the top-eight places for 16 points. Marist finished second (80) for the eighth straight race followed by Rider in third (83). The men's individual champion was Mitch Goose of Iona, who recorded the top time at the course since 2000, the fifth fastest time in MAAC history at Disney.
On the women's side, Iona won their eighth consecutive team title with 26 points followed by Marist (65) for the second straight year and Rider (83). Iona's Marion Joly-Testault won the women's race in a time of 21:07 for the second fastest time in MAAC history at the course.
Sophomore Chad Maloy continued his strong season at the conference championship, placing ninth overall with a time of 24:53. Maloy's finish was the highest a Griff male has placed at the MAAC Championship since 2000 when Chad Bader placed seventh at the same course.
"Chad really set the tone for how aggressive we were going to race today," said Huckle of Maloy's performance. "He is our first runner in over ten years to crack the top ten in the MAAC Championship, so for him to go after it and mix it up with Iona and the other top runners in the conference gave our men confidence."
Joining Maloy in the top-five Griff finishes were freshman Michael Anvelt in 19th (25:34), senior Alex Simon in 25th (25:47), freshman Cooper Roach in 28th (25:53), and junior Nate McCabe in 33rd (26:03). Among the Griffs' top-finishers, Maloy, Anvelt, and Roach set 8K personal-bests.
"The freshmen came through big again, with Mike having one of the best post-season races of his running career, and Cooper coming through and finishing strong, even though he had a tough race," said Huckle.
Competing in their final conference championship were Simon and Aaron Hoven. Finishing as the Griffs' top-sixth runner, Hoven recorded a time of 26:23, an 8K personal-best, to finish in 39th place.
"Our seniors were the real heroes on the day though. Alex and Aaron kept us together and brought the back of our pack in where we needed it. Overall, it was an outstanding team performance."
For the fifth consecutive race, junior Mikelle Cala led the Golden Griffin women, finishing tenth among 116 runners. Cala's tenth-place finish tied the Griffs' best finish at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex set by Becki Rice in 2000.
Finishing in the Griffs' top-five finishes were junior Jamie Wallace in 29th place (23:12), sophomore Morgan Atkins in 31st (23:18), freshman Mary Kate Chambers in 46th (23:53), and freshman Robin Wagner in 52nd (24:09). Wallace, Atkins, Chambers, and Wagner each recorded 6K personal-bests with Chambers competing in her first collegiate 6K-race.
"For the women, Mikelle had the best race of her career as a Griff. She moved well through the field and had a great kick to finish tenth," said Huckle. "Behind her, Jaime and Morgan really stepped up to keep us in the top six for team scores. Our freshmen are making strides to pull our pack together, we just need time to develop their aerobic strength."
The Blue and Gold will complete the season at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships at Hammonasset State Park at Madison, Conn on Friday, November 9.

The first and second senior 3-year-olds were Judge Herby Lutz's choice for Intermediate Champion.
Herby Lutz of Chester, S.C. and his associate, Andrew Vander Muelen of Brighton, Ontario, Canada, are serving as officials for this year's 59th All American Jersey Show. This show is the nation's largest Jersey show in which All American honors for the Jersey breed are designated once the official placings for the classes are completed in Louisville, Ky.
Judges Lutz and Vander Muelen selected SC Goldust Governor Angela A 52-ET owned by Bush River Jerseys, Goff Dairy, and Skiparilla and housed in Newberry, S.C., as Intermediate Champion. Reserve Intermediate Champion went to September Star Impuls, shown by Claire and Reece Burdette, Patricia Stiles, and Cybil Fisher. Star Impuls is housed in Mercersburg, Pa. Shown in the photo is the Intermediate Champion at the right with the Reserve Intermediate Champion to the left.
Honorable Mention Intermediate Champion honors went to the Jersey Jug winner, Miss Iatola Blackie Rose-ET, who was also a senior-3-year-old. She is owned by Waverly Farms, Clear Brook, Va.
This happens to be the first year in many years that the senior 3-year-olds were included with the Intermediate Champion group.
In an effort to get a larger audience to watch the Jersey heifer show, the 59th All American Jersey Show reverted to a more traditional approach for the second straight year with calves and heifers showing before the cows. Taking junior champion honors was Tower Vue Lil Kook, owned by Scott Walton. Reserve Champion honors went to KCJF Motions Comotion owned by Brady Core.

Hey guys,
Just finished the models for the revised rubber knee armor..
About a month ago I released my new rubber knee armor..had some complaints about the overall shape of the front sections..After reviewing the ref-CD, I made the mods.
These are the new front sections of coarse which I re-designed to look more movie accurate. The original series 1 rubber side panels and rubber stems will fit this new updated version..
Collectors who have already paid for an original set of rubber knees and are waiting to receive them will get this new version if you wish, just send me a pm to confirm.
To the handfull of guys out there who purchased and received my original rubber knee armor and would like to upgrade to the new series II knee armor please contact me and I'll offer you a discount.
Thanks again,

Review University of Pittsburgh
The University of Pittsburgh is a wonderful university full of diversity and opportunity. In the beginning of the year, I dove nervously into the unknown of the university and new environment I quickly adjusted to the sudden changes once meeting friendly peers and Pittsburgh residents. I participated in many on campus events and even joined a club to connect with other with similar interests as me. The academics of Pitt are challenging yet rewarding. Most of my professors cared about the subject they were teaching and of the students they were teaching. Campus food is amazing and there are plenty of options with dining passes and dollars that will guarantee no food boredom. Pittsburgh itself is a beautiful city filled with lots of things to do and towns to explore. I can't wait for what's in store for the next 3 years of my education at the University of Pittsburgh!
This is a pretty great college. There are numerous classes that anyone can choose from depending on their interests and their major. Their medical part of the college is outstanding! Many of the professors are wonderful, but you will get some of the awful ones. The campus is gorgeous, especially Cathy (the Cathedral of Learning). No matter how difficult the classes are you will forever be in love with the University of Pittsburgh.
I love this school! I got my bachelor's degree here, and I'm returning to Pitt this year to receive my graduate degree. University of Pittsburgh offers a great education, and students graduate with great job prospectives. The application process for both undergrad and grad schools were long and tedious, but fairly easy to understand. The application fee for undergrad was cheap, while the application fee for grad school was very expensive. However, since I love this school, the fee doesn't bother me. Students that attend this school are very smart - they are top 25% of their high school class. When finals are approaching, everybody is studying! You see students study in the classrooms, on the grass, in dunkin donuts, on the bus... everywhere!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by chillfan23, Jul 19, 2010.
The post was my version of light humor. Talk to you more on basketball when the pre-season starts.
Hugs. We need hugs. More hugs.
Starters: Gordon at point, White at shooting guard, JMAX at small forward, Ben Wallace at power forward, Monroe at center. 2nd unit: Stuckey, Rip, Tay, Summers (any of Wallace, JMAX, or Monroe staying in at center. Rest of players who get time here and there: CV, Bynum, JJ
Chicago fans, who have seen a lot more of Gordon, say that him at PG for more than 10 min is a very bad idea. White was outplayed by Sosa in SL, he might turn out to be a good player in the league, but at this point he might not even make the team, let alone start at SG over Rip and BenGo. I never knew J-Max is a SF, don't think he even knows it. Big Ben & Monroe starting up front is realistic, if Wallace will play like last year.
Yea that sounds about right. Q trying to squeeze as many wins by playing conservative. But it can't happen - can it? They have to sell tickets and few will pay to see that.
I think that minute projection is a little too negative. No body on the team averaged more than 38 minutes per game last year. Ben Wallace is probably only playing 28 minutes, as he did last year, and CV averaged less than him. But those minutes trickle down to JJ and max, probably not summers. Rip I think is starting to show his age, he played less than 38 minutes in his last ten games last year, and played more than 38 in only 3 games after february. This year hopefully will pick be just the same with minutes in the high 20's, low 30's, if only to prevent injury and protect his trade value. Those minutes will probably go to Gordon who isn't mentioned. This year will be a wash until a trade happens. I wonder if they are waiting to trade stuckey? Maybe that is why the pistons are putting all this emphasis on Bynum?
Starting 5 will not matter til January / February. Coaching and the managing of our players til then will be the most important factor. Good luck Q...
Yeah, but did you check out that great 2nd unit?
That's a superbench. It would be a good consolation to losing to know that we have the best bench in the league.
I know it beats going to the ECF every year without winning it all.
Losing? I can tell you this, if Dumars uses the remnant of the tired out team that won in 2004, six years ago, to try to get wins, he won't. Rip is too old to start for us. We are a rebuilding team, and rebuilding teams don't get good by letting aging vets be too big a part of things. Tay has never been able to play major minutes, and he just getting older. Ben Wallace, if healthy at the beginning of the season, won't stay healthy playing major minutes. Let these three come off the bench, helping to form a great bench - while exploring other options for our team of the future. As starters, lets limit the discussion to the younger guys: Charlie Villanueva, Ben Gordon, Austin Daye, Summers, JJ, Stuckey, Bynum, White, Monroe, and JMAX. Of these ten, start 5 of them, and have the others supplement our super bench trio of older vets.
Amen brother.
I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one. I think this conception is a fan myth. I'd be interested to see some examples of "rebuilding teams" that eventually won a championship or had significant success that didn't let vets be a big part of things.
You left our the word aging. Ben Wallace is getting too old to count on him for winning a championship a few years down the road. Rip's game is all about him scooting away from his defender to get free for a shot - how long can he stay healthy at his age doing that for extended minutes? Project 3 years from now, and do you really think Rip is the guy you want still being our starting shooting guard? Tay is not that old - but he might as well be with that back of his. Light minutes would make him very effective for us all season long - coming off the bench. Playing him major minutes - you get nothing but losses. Look to the guys who will still be young and healthy in three years and build on that.
Our championship team for 89 and 90 was built on the concept that there was always room to try out each player, rookie or vet, to see what they could contribute. Never did we use the excuse that the vets needed minutes to not give someone a chance to play as that team got built up. Took a long time, but we got there. In 2004, lets imagine that Carlisle was still our coach - and that Carlisle magically became as good a coach as Larry Brown - except for one blind spot - he still loved older players. And Curry got to start once again at small forward for us - letting Tay play, but not enough to get prepared for that championship run. And lets say we kept Cliff Robinson, cause Carlisle just loved the guy, and we never traded for Sheed. Letting Curry play, an aging vet, was crazy, not something that helped build up our championship team. He was brought here by mistake, already washed up. (Apparently something about trying to get Hill to sign.) OK, so Curry was an extreme case of how not to manage a team. Look at the rest of our 2004 championship team. It was put together to win when - now. We finished our "rebuilding" with the signing of Sheed - and look at how young we were. None of our starting 5 was over 30 years old. We did not know if we could win that very year - but we had a starting five all young enough to make a great effort toward a championship for years to come. Other teams have made successful tries at using vets to win a championship - but only if they were right there at the cusp; never looking 3 years down the road. Karl Malone was brought to the Lakers to win that very year - not 3 years later. Hey, maybe if Malone had not had an injury, the Lakers might just have succeeded against us. Since 90, The Bulls won it six times on the back of a young MJ, a young Pippin. Can you give an example of a player in Chicago who was an older vet that got played to the extent that rookies on the team did not get a chance to play? Was there a guy like Rip, who maybe was about 32 in 1987, that was a major part of the team until 91 when Chicago won? Boston made it - with hiring some aging vets - but they won very quickly. They brought those aging vets aboard to get them over the top. Before that, they were playing their young guys a lot to see who could do what. No way they brought in guys already aged a few years before, let them get all the minutes, and neglected developing the youth. So, let me define playing aging vets too much - its when they play minutes to the point that you don't develop your younger players. Remember, when you develop a young player - that does not mean you have to keep them. They might not fit what you need. But you can make a trade for what you do need - trading away those young players who have gained value by playing. Now lets see how not to manage a team. Can you name a player who we have traded for where we got the player after developing a young player to get trade value?
Excellent points. Great post.
That was a really good post Lee. It's nice to see you frame your passion for playing young guys now in the context of long term goals.
I agree. Great stuff, Lee. I guess I was responding more to the knee-jerk reaction that some people have to get rid of Tay and Rip for its own sake. If it can legitimately be shown that they are over the hill and hindering a younger better player, then I'm all for it. I'm just not sure that we're really there, yet. Rip is still good enough to have been the team's leading scorer for the past few seasons. I don't care how many plays we run for him, you have to be good to be the team's leading scorer. I don't see anybody else on the roster capable of doing that yet. Stuckey might be close, but that's another debate.

I would add that Reggie Miller and Bruce Bowen played as very effective starters for many years past Rip and Tay's current ages.
Separate names with a comma.

Maintaining their values in a changing football world will hold Arsenal in good stead for the future.
That's the view of Arsène Wenger, who marked his 60th birthday by attending the Club's Annual General Meeting on Thursday.
The Frenchman was given a standing ovation by shareholders at Emirates Stadium and responded with a forthright speech about the Club's direction.
While a number of clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester City, have relied on billionaire backers to build expensive squads, Arsenal have chosen a different path. Their self-sustainability model has its critics but Wenger firmly believes that football's regulated financial future will leave the Club in a powerful position.
"We are in the middle today of two different ways to see the development of the game," he explained.
"One is people with unlimited resources who do not care about balancing the budget and one, an attempt from the European Union to regulate that, control it, and get that out of the game.
"I believe that will happen and fortunately we are on line with the modern development of the European game and that is why I believe to keep a club strong is essential."
Wenger eclipsed George Allison as Arsenal's longest-serving manager at the start of the month and has stayed true to the principles which were in place when he arrived in North London just over 13 years ago.
The Frenchman has no intention of surrendering those values even while Premier League rivals welcome wealthy benefactors into the English game.
"When I arrived here 13 years ago I could sense that this Club had values, tradition, and strength in their belief and in their values," he said.
"When I travelled at that time to Derby or to Coventry when they were in the Premier League, they always told me it is the 'Arsenal way' to do things.
"They do it their way and it was always respect and admiration in their statements and I believe it is essential and important that we keep that inside the Club."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - A strong defense set the tone early while an explosive offense took over late as the Lehigh men's lacrosse team cruised to a 13-7 win over Binghamton on Tuesday evening at the Ulrich Sports Complex. Sophomore David DiMaria led the offense with two goals and three assists while senior Richard Bradley registered a season-high seven groundballs and five caused turnovers to lead the Mountain Hawks (6-4, 2-1 Patriot League) to their second straight victory.
Lehigh scored the game's first eight goals before Binghamton got on the scoreboard at 2:57 of the second quarter. The Bearcats eventually clawed back to as close as 10-7 early in the fourth, but the Mountain Hawks responded with the game's final three goals to erase any doubt.
"Getting out to the 8-0 lead was important, but I'm disappointed we let them back in the game," said Lehigh head coach Kevin Cassese. "This is a big non-league win for us; we try to get better every week. We'll need to elevate our game to come up with a win on Saturday [against No. 20 Penn State]."
The victory marks Lehigh's fourth in as many home games, tying the squad's best home start since 2008. A 6-4 record also gives the Mountain Hawks their best record after 10 games since the 2006 campaign.
DiMaria tied a career high with his five points behind two goals and three assists. Fellow sophomore Dante Fantoni posted four behind two goals and two assists. In the process, they each extended their point streaks to 20 and 23 games, respectively.
"Dante really helped us extend our lead while David did a nice job of quarterbacking our offense," said Cassese.
Junior Roman Lao-Gosney gave a struggling Mountain Hawk offense an early lift with a career-high three goals, all coming within the game's first 20:12.
"We got a great spark from Roman," said Cassese. "He's been pressing of late. He came out and got a few big goals in the early going."
Sophomore Noah Molnar also posted a career-high two assists while the Mountain Hawks received two goals from sophomore Kyle Stiefel and single tallies from juniors Cameron Lao-Gosney and Adam Johnston, along with sophomores Brian Hess and Alex Drake.
Bradley helped spearhead a defense which didn't allow a goal until 2:57 remaining in the second quarter. Sophomore Mike Noone contributed a career-high three groundballs, along with a caused turnover. Molnar also added two groundballs and a caused turnover.
Sophomore Ryan Snyder was stellar once again at the faceoff X, winning 18-of-20 while tying a career-high 13 groundballs to help Lehigh control possession. He has now won 67.2 percent of his faceoffs on the season while scooping a league-leading 87 groundballs.
The teams played to a stalemate over the game's first 14:00 before Roman Lao-Gosney broke the ice with his fifth goal of the season at 1:00 of the first quarter. DiMaria then fed Johnston for a goal only 28 seconds later to make it 2-0.
Lehigh went on to open an eight-goal lead, which included two more tallies from Roman Lao-Gosney and two straight from Stiefel. Fantoni made it 8-0 with 4:37 remaining, but Binghamton responded with two quick scores in a 25-second span to pull within 8-2 at the half.
The Bearcats slowly inched back, netting five of the first seven second-half goals to pull as close as 10-7 at 10:05 of the fourth quarter. But Lehigh responded with goals from Cameron Lao-Gosney, DiMaria and Drake to seal the victory.
The Mountain Hawks led the final shot count, 38-15, while holding the groundball edge, 39-19. Lehigh was 15-of-17 on clear attempts while Binghamton was 13-of-18. The Mountain Hawks finished 2-of-3 on the extra man to the Bearcats' 3-of-4. Lehigh sophomore Dan Carr finished with three saves across Kraig Heston, who made seven.
Lehigh remains home on Saturday when it welcomes Keystone State rival and No. 20 nationally ranked Penn State for a special 1 p.m. faceoff in Goodman Stadium. Tickets are available online at Lehighsports.com and be calling 610-7LU-GAME.
"Saturday is big, our first-ever game in Goodman," said Cassese. "This win gives us tremendous momentum leading into that game. We want to get on a roll as we head into the meet of our Patriot League schedule. It's also a big opportunity to get a top-20 win."

At Thursday night's 18th Annual Kentucky Chamber Day with 1500+ politicians, lobbyists, and business leaders looking on, affirmations of bipartisanship abounded from the podium speakers that included the governor and top ranking legislators from both chambers. KET's Bill Goodman emceed the event held in Lexington. While business attire at the Kentucky Chamber dinner is expected, spectators are eager for the Capitol's top brass to infuse a less buttoned-up approach in their addresses.
Think of it as "Fancy Farm Gone Mild," with light-hearted partisan punch lines and polite audience laughter instead of the fist-pounding, call and response rhetoric to which the yearly western Kentucky political event claims ownership.
Some of the speakers come with prepared text that's more policy than joviality. House Speaker Greg Stumbo started with the latter, but cranked up the decibels on his main takeaway: "It's time to quit kidding ourselves in Kentucky with 1 in 4 kids in poverty…we need to stop talking and be courageous to do something for Kentucky, he said in signature animated fashion. "Let's stop talking about bi-partisanship and do it," he added.
Bipartisanship was the theme of the night, as were calls to act on public pension and tax reform, legislative redistricting; even industrial hemp got a mention. With about 2/3 of the state legislature in attendance and a handful of former governors sitting among the packed crowd, newly-elected Senate President Robert Stivers kept to the script on policy points after jokingly expressing gratitude to Governor Steve Beshear for the judicial appointment of former state Senate chief David Williams that made way for Stivers' ascension to the top slot. Perhaps the most salient remark from the 17-year legislative veteran was that "systemic changes in Kentucky will be made through education."
That remark is particularly poignant on the same day he stood among a phalanx of lawmakers and university presidents to announce bipartisan support for a plan to let public universities issue their own bonds for projects ranging from classrooms, to housing, and athletic complexes. House Republican leader Jeff Hoover pointed to that shared goal as one demonstration of the new day in Frankfort.
Senate Democratic leader R.J. Palmer spoke of how tax reform has been "studied to death and now it's time to act," and stressed the need to tackle legislative redistricting this year.
"This is the first legislative session in five years that I'm looking forward to," said a grinning Governor Steve Beshear at the dinner. He bragged about recent rankings showing Kentucky's progress in education and government metrics giving the state a second place ribbon for job growth. Beshear also tempered pleas for public pension reform now without creating "a massive influx of revenue" to mitigate the system's multi-billion dollar unfunded liability. He added that it can't be accomplished by slicing and dicing government programs. What he didn't mention was the prospect of expanded gaming as a coffer-plumping measure.
Many folks are cautiously optimistic about a new day in Frankfort. By session end, there will be a clear record of vows made and kept. When the seasons change from winter haze to spring's splendor, we'll know if (in the words of Senator Stivers) "gotcha politics are a thing of past."

Paraview and IDV, Common ARSC Viz Tools
[ By: Patrick Webb ]
Visualization is a great way to analyze a data set, and for presenting that data to the world at large. A wide variety of formats and visualization tools can make the task of visualizing your data daunting. ARSC has among its visualization resources two visualization packages, Paraview and Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV). These applications provide the ability to quickly visualize data and capture the output as stills or movies, and between the two cover many commonly used data formats. Here is a brief summary of both, which covers some major file formats they work with, what they do and a couple of tips.
Paraview is a visualization application developed by Kitware, Los Alamos National Labs and Sandia National Labs. It is available on the ARSC Linux Workstations by typing the commands:
%module load paraview %paraview
Paraview is makes heavy use of Kitware's VTK file format. It is also capable of handling VRML, DEMs, and raw binary data. For a full list of available data types, take a look at the Paraview FAQ: < href="http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:FAQ">http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:FAQ Paraview is useful for visualizing data that is not, or does not need to be geo-located. Data represented with some sort of geometry works well with Paraview, and data in an xyz format can be quickly converted to a VTK file and visualized with Paraview. Paraview also has several 2D analysis tools including histograms and line plots.
There is a pair tricks that can make visualizing your data with Paraview easier.
The Transform filter is very useful for changing the scale, orientation and position of a 3D data set. The Transform filter has three options for translation, rotation and scale. Each has three fields that correspond to the X, Y and Z dimensions. Translate and Rotate take a number that is then added to that dimension's coordinates from your data. Scale takes a multiplier that is applied to the corresponding dimension.
For example, for a model whose position in space is described in UTM coordinates it is useful to scale down the X and Y dimensions.
The Decimate filter is a good way to reduce a very high poly count object to a more manageable size that still maintains the shape of the original polygon. The "Target Reduction" option is the percentage of reduction (0.9 = 90% reduction in polys). The "Preserve Topology" check box tells the filter to preserve the overall shape as much as it can while reducing the polygon.
The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) was developed by Unidata as an open source, cross-platform visualization tool for atmospheric data. It is available on the Linux workstations by typing the following commands:
%module load idv-2.2 %runIDVThe IDV works well with gridded data. It reads NetCDF files that meet CF conventions ( http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ ), DEMs, and Shapefiles as well as radar and atmospheric sounding files. The IDV is primarily meant for visualizing atmospheric data from a variety of sources, but is capable of handling any kind 2D or 3D gridded data, even comma separated ASCII files.
Here are two quick tips when using the IDV that can make visualizing your data easier.
Down-sample your data if possible. This saves memory and keeps the IDV from slowing down by running out of memory. Down-sampling can be done in the Field Selector pane of the Dashboard when choosing a field from the data set. The option is in the lower right corner, under the "stride" tab. There you will have the option to choose how many points to skip in the X, Y, and/or Z dimensions.
Adjusting the vertical scale is another easy way improve the visuals you are getting from your data. The option is accessible from the left hand button bar in the Display window as a tick-marked vertical line button, or from the View menu in the same window. Click "View->Properties" and go to the Vertical Scale tab. Adjust the minimum and maximum to fit your data.
You are encouraged to attend ARSC's IDV training, 9/30 - 10/02, as noted in the next article.
Physics 693 & Fall TrainingClasses will begin in a few weeks at UAF and ARSC staff along with the UAF Physics department will be teaching Physics 693 once again. The Core Skills for Computation Science class serves as an introduction to the basic skills required to operate in a modern high performance computing environment. ARSC users are encouraged to attend any lecture they would find beneficial. Physics 693 lectures are the only formal ARSC user training scheduled for this fall. The course is organized into the following modules:
Date(s) Module 9/4 Introduction to ARSC 9/9-9/16 Introduction to Unix 9/18-9/23 Introduction to Fortran (WRRB 010) 9/25 Introduction to Midnight Sun Cluster 9/30-10/02 Viz Week 1: Introduction to Integrated Data Viewer 10/7-10/9 Performance Programming 10/14-10/16 Viz Week 2: Importing Data and Animation 101 10/21-10/30 Parallel Shared Memory Programming using OpenMP 11/6-11/20 Parallel Distributed Memory Programming using MPI 12/2 Introduction to Pingo Cray XT5 System
Additional topics covered throughout the semester will include debugging with Totalview, Subversion version control system, and validation and verification of scientific models.

2008 Arctic Science Conference
From the web site of the Arctic Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science comes this announcement of their 2008 Arctic Science Conference which will be held in Fairbanks, September 15-17.
The conference theme is 'Growing Sustainability Science in the North: The Resilience of the People in the Arctic.'
The importance of the resilience of the people of the Arctic is little understood. Among the eight circumpolar nations are three of the four largest in the world in geographic area. The Arctic will become an important route for trade and commerce between Europe and the Eastern Pacific regions during the 21st century. It is necessary to observe and understand change in order to respond and adapt. IPY offers an opportunity to investigate brought about by the results of international collaborative science and engineering research.

Discovery Lab Study Subjects Needed
ARSC high-performance computer (HPC) specialists are researching the question of how well people accomplish tasks in a virtual reality environment with and without an avatar to represent the user in the virtual space. It is expected that data from this study will help advance and improve user interface design in VR. Test subjects will perform simple tasks using BLUISculpt, a VR drawing program, with different types of avatars in order to gauge their effect.
Following the test, each subject will complete a questionnaire. Total time commitment is about 30 - 45 minutes and participants must be 18 or older. If interested, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com to schedule a session. We sincerely appreciate your assistance in this research, and expect it will be a fun and interesting experience!
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I was trying to get a general idea how long my job was running by [[ issuing a date command before and after the "mpirun" commands in [[ my script. [[ [[ E.g. [[ date [[ mpirun ./preprocess [[ mpirun ./analyze [[ mpirun ./postprocess [[ date [[ [[ While it's nice to have the start and end time, I would also like [[ to know how long all three commands took cumulatively to run, [[ so I can specify a more accurate walltime in my PBS script. [[ [[ How can I get the time it took to run all three commands? [[ # # Thanks to Greg Newby for sharing this solution. # While within a program we'd use some sort of timing calls, from the shell the main way of getting date/time information is through the 'date' command. This command varies considerably across different systems, though all Unix/Linux systems I know of count time from the start of the Unix epoch: January 1, 1970. My suggestion is to get the first date, save the output, and then subtract it from the second date. This will yield a difference in seconds, or do a little more math (or more arguments to 'date') to get minutes, hours, or days. Quoting from 'info coreutils date' on ARSC's Midnight system: * To convert a date string to the number of seconds since the epoch (which is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC), use the `--date' option with the `%s' format. That can be useful in sorting and/or graphing and/or comparing data by date. The following command outputs the number of the seconds since the epoch for the time two minutes after the epoch: date --date='1970-01-01 00:02:00 +0000' +%s 120 I think you might do well simply to get the date in %s format (seconds since the epoch) at the start and end, and subtract them. For your purposes, how about this? # Get the start date in seconds since the epoch: STARTDATE=`date +%s` mpirun ./preprocess mpirun ./analyze mpirun ./postprocess # Get the end date in seconds since the epoch: ENDDATE=`date +%s` # Get total run time in seconds: TOTALTIME=`expr ${ENDDATE} - ${STARTDATE}` echo "Total time is: ${TOTALTIME} # # Editors solution based on the date '--date' option that Greg pointed # out. # This solution saves the start and end dates to a variable in the default format for date. After the end date is calculated, the --date option is used to generate the time since epoch for each date and then the difference is calculated. #!/bin/bash ... st=$(date) echo $st # do mpi stuff mpirun ./preprocess mpirun ./analyze mpirun ./postprocess et=$(date) echo $et total=$(( $(date --date="$et" +%s) - $(date --date="$st" +%s) )); echo "walltime: " $total Note, this example requires bash or ksh and the GNU version of date. # # Bracy Elson offered the following solution. # The user need simply put the commands in their own script and time the call to the script. I'd suggest the following: % cat do_job.csh #!/bin/csh time mpirun ./preprocess time mpirun ./analyze time mpirun ./postprocess exit Then in the user's batch script would appear: date time ./do_job.csh date in place of executing the individual command separately. In my solution, I've also put "time" in front of each of the calls to mpirun. This way the user gets the benefit of the individual times along with something quite close to their sum (calling run_job.csh adds a slight amount of overhead). Q: [Thanks to Anton Kulchitsky for this question] The following C program starts with an empty string. It then tries to append some text to it using the function try_realloc. That function simply reallocates memory to increase the size of the target string and copies the contents of a second string to its end. However, the code sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. What is wrong and how do I fix it? #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> /* extends str with the content of addstr, reallocates memory to be able to store a longer string */ void try_realloc( char* str, const char* addstr ) { size_t len = strlen( str ); size_t addlen = strlen( addstr ); str = realloc( str, ( len + addlen + 1 ) * sizeof( char ) ); strncat( str, addstr, addlen+1 ); } int main() { char *str = calloc( 1, sizeof(char) ); /* str = "" */ try_realloc( str, "first string," ); printf( "%s\n", str ); try_realloc( str, " second string." ); printf( "%s\n", str ); free( str ); return 0; }

Birke Baehr:
What's wrong with our food system
At a TEDx event, 11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food — far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production.

Patino v. Birken Manufacturing Co.
Our Sponsors
Luis Patino, a former employee of Birken Manufacturing Company, filed a lawsuit in the Connecticut Superior Court in Hartford. In the lawsuit, he claimed that Birken violated Connecticut's employment antidiscrimination law by allowing him to be subjected to a work environment permeated with antigay slurs and abuse. A jury found in favor of Patino, but Birken moved to set aside the verdict, arguing that the company had no duty to protect its employees from antigay harassment. Lambda Legal filed a friend-of-the-court brief to argue that Connecticut law requires employers to protect their employees from severe antigay harassment and, therefore, the verdict should stand.
Connecticut is one of 20 states that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. Particularly in the absence of federal law prohibiting discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation, it is important that state laws be understood to prohibit antigay harassment — just as antidiscrimination laws are already understood to prohibit work environments that are hostile based on a person's race or sex.
Lambda Legal's Impact
Connecticut's sexual orientation antidiscrimination law is similar to its laws prohibiting discrimination based on race, sex and religion, and to federal antidiscrimination laws. A win in this case would make it clear that employers cannot allow their employees to be subjected to antigay harassment.
- February 2009 Jury finds that Birken allowed its employee, Luis Patino, to be subjected to severe antigay harassment by coworkers. Birken moves to set aside that verdict, arguing that Connecticut law allows employees to be harassed because of their sexual orientation.
- March 2009 Lambda Legal files friend-of-the-court brief in support of Patino, arguing that Connecticut law protects employees from severe antigay harassment.
- May 2009 Court rejects defendant's claim that Connecticut law does not protect employees from severe antigay harassment, and enters judgment for Patino on the jury's verdict.
- June 2009 Birken Manufacturing files appeal to Connecticut Appellate Court.
- September 2009 Connecticut Supreme Court transfers appeal to itself from Appellate Court.
- May 2010 Birken files its Brief on Appeal.
- July 2010 Patino files his Brief on Appeal.
- August 2010 Lambda Legal, the Connecticut Legal Rights Project and Connecticut Women's Education and Legal Fund file their brief as amici.
- November 2011 Connecticut Supreme Court hears oral argument.
- May 2012 Connecticut Supreme Court finds unanimously in favor of Patino.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I've looked for a discussion about this but haven't been able to find one, so forgive me if this already exists.
Someone asked me if my zines are written in a character's voice, and I realized one of my characters would totally write zines, so I started writing a zine in her voice. Has anyone else done this? I know somemeone must have. And if you did, did you treat is a writing exercise and that was it, or did you trade?
Any experience about this or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Views: 67
I think it's a really cool idea. I've sort of done the opposite-- most of the stories in my zines are purely fictitious, but I wrote and published one in first person that did not specify the names of the characters, and I kind of like that it read like a perzine and was a blending of fact and fiction. I do think that because zines are so often personal (and almost diary-like) that they provide a unique medium for creative genre blending. I like the idea of readers picking up a zine they don't know anything about, and, given expectations they might have from reading other zines, wondering what is real and what has been totally made up.

Revere provides the primary access route to Logan Airport from the north as well as being host to car rental and air cargo facilities.
Named after the American Patriot Paul Revere, the area has the Bell Isle Marsh Reservation, the largest surviving salt marsh in Boston Harbor. Revere is also home to the oldest public beach in the United States, often called "the people's beach," and remembered fondly by long-time residents for amusements that once included "The Cyclone," a roller coaster built in 1925 that once ranked among the nation's largest.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
i highly recomend the mc kink
i just bought an mc kink btx with the ride spi's. the board is just a good all around board. this board is also a jibbing board it is a little stiffer but the kink adds transition ease. a kinked tail and nose is a curve derived from a kink. it floats over all obstaces with ease and its great for climbing walls! before january i had been out of snowboarding for close to 2 years because i was iron working(commercial constuction hard labor)so i was too tired to go riding when i had free time so i quit that job and begain riding again in january of 09. im from seattle and a common misconseption is our snow. it is good when it snow and if we have a good season it snows alot but on days when it doesnt snow it is ice and really hardpack. i moved to cali in june of 08 and have done all my riding down here this year. the magne traction is a good board for hardpack and the banana tech floats over powder with ease and even easier with the kink. ive been a skateboarder for over ten years so naturaly i wanted to only do boxes and rails when i snowboarded. i was a park rat to the max. i had a 9 foot custom rail and would drive an hour to the mnt even when it was closed just to do an hour of jibbing by myself. but this year i wanted to step my riding up and still do park. so i didnt just want a jib stick. this board was the perfect board and yet still a good jib stick. i paid 330 OTD for a 500 dollar board because i bought it in feb it was 40% off. dont sell yourself short this board is an all around great board if u like the sk8 banana than the mc kink is 4 u it doesnt come in a 155 it comes in a 153 and 157. another thing is im a size 11 boot and i didnt want a wide. most 157 are only 25.2 to 25.5 but the mc kn has a waist width of 25.9. so if u want a shorter board thats going to fit a bigger shoe size this is ur board!
the kink also has a greater angle on the tip and tail, ummm how do I put it...... its shaped more like a u than most boards. shizzle am I making sense???
the ends are more kinky!
|skate banana all the way.you can slash anything the mt throws at you, with steeze. you wont be dissapointed. also i picked my 09 sb from boardparadise whice had 15% off so i got it for 399.00 not bad i know..

The MC Kink is stiffer with a longer effective edge. The BT on it isn't as defined its barely noticible. The interesting thing about it is the nose/tail shape its very snub nosed. It was one of the stiffer boards I rode last year.
The skatebanana is a lot softer since it has nothing to add stiffness in the tip and tail, more BT in it so really rockered. Going to press a lot easier.
The MC Kink stands for Matt Cummins Kink if you know who he is you know its not a jib stick its designed to destroy the mountains in the PNW.
|Yes, this information is helpful. Although I believe the MC Kink btx also comes in a 157. So if I'm comparing the State Banana 156 to the MC Kink 157, the MC Kink should be stiffer? This seems a little odd to me because I thought the MC Kink was specifically intended for jibbing.
|The Kink comes in 2 sizes (153 & 155) whereas the Skate Banana has 5 sizes (148, 151, 152, 156 and 159). The Kink has a middle flex whereas the Banana has a softer to stiffer flex depending on what size you're riding. It gets stiffer as it get's bigger. That sounds gross. Anyways. The Kink is wider all around. So get what fits your feet. Hope this helps.

Skate Banana vs MC Kink btx
What are the differences between the SB and the MC Kink BTX? I've heard mixed thoughts: the MC Kink is softer, the MC Kink is stiffer.
I orignaly wanted to purchase the Skate Banana, but my local board shop sold out. They mentioned they have the MC Kink and I'm not familiar. Any thoughts are appreciated.
