Molly & Jamie
May 19
Annapolis, Maryland
Q&A with the Bride
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
- The little touches at our reception: Oyster shells used as name cards at each place setting (the Annapolis Maritime Museum used to be McNasby's Oyster Factory), handmade sailboats out of scrap sail material and driftwood that were named for favorite places of the couple, and guests signed oars as the guestbook (that now hang in the couple's apartment in Manhattan)
- Photobooth: Our family and friends had a ball snapping pics with our props, which included a Vanderbilt lacrosse helmet (the groom's), sailor hats and life jackets
- The Band: Nick Carver and his group traveled through the night from Nashville, TN to present their country-esque musical stylings and covered popular dance tunes!
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Keep constant communication between you, your families and your vendors. It is crucial to keeping your big day problem-free! We made sure everyone was equipped with a vendor list, contact information on site at the church and reception venue, which included a timeline of events so everyone knew where to be and when – a bit OCD, but it kept everything on schedule!
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
At the end of the four-hour reception, guests lit sparklers and lined the dock to the bride's parent's boat donning a "Just Married" sign. Looking back at everyone waving as we left by boat thinking "Did that just happen?" definitely stands out as one highlight of the night! The Naval Academy happened to shoot off fireworks that night which lit up the sky on our cruise into Ego Alley. Friends hopped on local water taxis that followed us to Pusser's for a night cap and a late night dance party – we didn't want the party to end!

For the first time in program history, the Canisius swimming and diving team will head to Colgate for a dual meet on Saturday.
The Griffs come into the meet after both the men and women's teams had their four-meet win streak snapped at St. Bonaventure last Saturday. The men's team lost 129-112 to the defending Atlantic-10 champions, while the women's team fell 149-94.
"I think the nice thing about it is that we had races," said head coach Scott Vanderzell. "We were in a meet that we had a purpose in every race. We always go to Bonaventure or they come here and we like to continue to see if our programs can continue to grow to that level."
Sophomore Spencer Bray continued his strong season, with a pair of individual victories. Bray took first in both the 500- and 1000-yard freestyles, while also finishing second in the 200-yard backstroke. Junior diver Eddie Quarantillo placed first on both boards for the fourth time this season.
On the women's side, sophomore Alex Doody and freshman Hannah Graesser swam to individual victories. Doody finished first in the 500-yard freestyle and Graesser took first in the 50-yard freestyle. The Griffs also earned a victory in the 200-yard freestyle relay, extending their streak to four-straight meets of winning a relay.
The Raiders will square off with their second MAAC opponent in as many weeks, having competed against Niagara last week. The Colgate women beat the purple eagles 197-90 to improve to 1-3, while the men's team lost 180-102 and still remain winless on the year.
"We've never been up against Colgate, and it's a different environment for us to go into," Vanderzell said. "We need to continue to grow in our races and how we race, but I think we need to start racing some people that we're unfamiliar with. It'll build a little character for us as we get ready for MAACs."
The meet is scheduled to begin at noon.

Thread: Cam Cameron (10 years)
Cam Cameron (10 years)
I originally posted this in the Fire Cam thread, but it's almost Sunday and the pissed off fire Cam haters (including myself) have settled down and ignore that thread... but you guys deserve to see this.
Let's take a quick look at Cam through the years. I'm not usually a big stats guy because it doesn't tell the whole story.
I gathered some notes of Cam in the last 10-11 years... For Passing TD's average was 22-25 and never over 28...
2002 SD: O Rank 16th (yds) 20th (PT's); Passing 3188; Rushing 2137, 19 (TD's)
2003 SD: O Rank 14th (yds) 16th (PT's); Passing 3021; Rushing 2146, 16 (TD's)
2004 SD: O Rank 10th (yds) 3rd (PT's); Passing 3357; Rushing 2185, 24 (TD's)
2005 SD: O Rank 10th (yds) 5th (PT's); Passing 3495; Rushing 2072, 22 (TD's)
2006 SD: O Rank 4th (yds) 1st (PT's); Passing 3262; Rushing 2578, 32 (TD's)
2007 Miami HC who really cares 1-15 ( Beat us though)
2008 BR: O Rank 18th (yds) 11th (PT's); Passing 2808; Rushing 2376, 16 (TD's)
2009 BR: O Rank 9th (yds) 13th (PT's); Passing 3419; Rushing 2200 22 (TD's)
2010 BR: O Rank 16th (yds) 22nd (PT's); Passing 3335; Rushing 1831 11 (TD's)
2011 BR: O Rank 12th (yds) 15th (PT's); Passing 3423; Rushing 1996 15 (TD's)
So looking at the above stats, Cam is consistently mediocre with a few good years that were because of the run and good defense under Wade Phillips, Rex Ryan, etc.. When averaging over 2000 (yds) and 22 TD's rushing in a season his Offenses seem to be decent, but who wouldn't benefit from LT in his prime, it is easy to run the ball with a Hall of Fame RB humping the rock with a sledge hammer leading the way (Lorenzo Neal).
His offenses never seem to pass for over 3500 (yds) or 25 (TD's), which is plenty if you are rushing for over 2000 and 25 TD's. Either way you can go up and down the field all day, but if you can't get into the endzone or maintain some momentum than it effects the entire game, constant 3 and outs will not get you a W.

Re: Cam Cameron (10 years)
Do you remember how terrible the Chargers were in the early part of the last decade?
They became decent in 2003 but your stats mean absolutely zilch without context. 1) he hasn't been consistently mediocre, he coached top 10 offenses in his last three years in San Diego (and 3rd, 5th, and 1st in points). More context: Drew Brees was widely considered a bust until 2005. Even more context: his best WR that he coached was Keenan McCardell at age like 40. Other than that it was David Bust-on, Curtis Conway, and that other random white dude who never was any good. 2) He came in here with a rookie QB out of Delaware and immediately turned our offense around.
Re: Cam Cameron (10 years)
Top 10 defenses while here.. I'll give him the Rookie season, but if a professional OC can't take a newly drafted Flacco and Rice and mold them into what he likes than he should not be a professional in the first place. Talent aside his stats are similiar regardless of who is on the roster, leading to scheme being the problem..

Noted. Thanks..
[/QUOTE] so hes proven able to do it in the past, but chooses not to now. Guilty as charged.[/QUOTE]
I think getting back to a really solid run game 30+ a game split between Rice and Pierce that would make Torrey that much more dangerous when the safety starts to crowd the box and the DB's are peaking in the backfield. They still need to expand the route tree and start cuts and breaks and NOT rounding routes out.

Re: Cam Cameron (10 years)
Why wouldn't Cam Cameron get credit for LT rushing for 2,000 yards or 32 TDs any more than he'd get credit for Drew Brees throwing for 4,000 yards? The stats are decidedly NOT mediocre. And no, I"m not a Cam Cameron "fan" per se, I'm just not a Joe Flacco fan. The thing that cracks me up is this underlying assumption that 90% of message board posters have that somehow Flacco is a proven great QB who is simply being shackled back because of Cam Cameron's offense. It's absurd.
Talent aside, lol. Look at Kyle Shanahan, for example, who until this year was about to be run out of town on a stake in Landover. Why? Poor QB play.

Re: Cam Cameron (10 years)
how many Cam threads do we really need?World Domination 3 Points at a Time!
Re: Cam Cameron (10 years)
I also never said anything about Flacco in my post. I do however think that Flacco can play decent enough to keep this team in the race, just not under Cam's control.
Your going to compare Kyle Shanahan. Exactly what talent did he have. No QB, busted backfield and what WR's (Moss). Insert Griffin and Garcon with a healthy RB and you get production... Really? Cam always had talent around him in SD and Baltimore. What is your point?

Re: Cam Cameron (10 years)
how much of LT's success came fom Schottenhiemer though? Sure Cam was making the call as OC, BUT Marty put his stamp on that offense as well.


text: The Giraud of Haven wiki last edited by Malhavok on 04/02/17 07:14AM View full history In the 31st Century, mutants have abandoned the Earth and settled a new world known as New Haven. Over the generations less and less mutants were born until only nine mutants were left.When Giraud, a human inhabitant of the mutant-settled world of Haven, wanted to help overthrow the remaining mutant ruling class, Starhawk led him to a nearby volcano that housed the Phoenix Force. Giraud was asked to host the Phoenix Force and accepted, "becoming the 9th sentient being since Jean Grey to host the Phoenix" and was dubbed Phoenix IX. Phoenix fed on Haven's core, destroying the Planet, but he used the power from the planets destruction to transport the population to Main Frame's World. Giraud had himself placed under psychic inhibitors to keep the Phoenix in check.Unfortunately for a team of villains known as the Intimidators, they brought back Korvac and tried to take over Main Frame's world. In doing so they disabled the inhibitors, allows Giraud to access his powers and defeat Korvac and his lackeys.He later becomes a member of the Galactic Guardians, an offshoot of the Guardians of the Galaxy.PowersFormerly just a normal human, Giraud derives all his abilities from the Phoenix Force. His primary ability is telekinesis which he uses to move, lift, and manipulate matter with his mind, fire flaming psionic force bolts, project nearly impervious psionic shields that can withstand almost any attack, and fly via levitation. He can absorb virtually any source of energy, even drain stars and planets till they explode. He can teleport objects over virtually any distance, however massive objects require that he absorb a large amount of energy first. Phoenix IX can also generate and control cosmic flames by using pyrokinesis, and the flames often take the shape of a bird around him whenever he fully utilizes his powers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I am in the same situation ( question )
I have a 1978 Catalina 25'.
My first sailboat.
For some reason I am wanting to move up to a 30+ sailboat.
For what reason? I DONT KNOW.
Maybe the bigger cabin, maybe ( size does matter ), maybe I am crazy.
So many of these discussions often end up being a 'How long is a piece of thread? type of discussion but I must say that this one has been much richer in its responses than it could have been, and that I feared it might be when it began. I had hoped to respond sooner but work got in the way. Darn!
I have a little different take than perhaps some in this discussion, and come at this from a different direction. As some of you long time readers know, I look at displacement as being a much more relevant determinant of the size of the boat in almost all ways.
When you talk about stepping up in size, the increased cost and labor to purchase and maintain, increased carrying capacity and increased space, are generally proportionate to the increase in displacement more than increased length.
When you talk about ease of single-handing a bigger boat there are a lot of components involved in what makes something 'easy' or hard', which is why you see such different opinions about whether bigger boats are easier or harder to sail. If you sift through the tread above, individual posters have focused on most of these components without necessarily linking them together.
To me, when it comes to deciding how much more difficult it is to handle a bigger boat there are two parts to this, the physical exertion aspect and then the sequencing of the tasks aspect. To me, until you get up to boats big enough to motorize winches and sail handling gear, the physical exertion required is directly proportional to the boat's displacement. a 10,500 lb 32 footer takes just as much physical strength and effort to sail as 10,500 lb 38 footer (and if of a similar vintage, quality and level of maintainance, equal displacement boats of different lengths will cost roughly the same to buy and roughly the same to maintain.)
Historically, the rule of thumb for offshore cruising boats was ideally 2 1/2 to 5 long tons per person (5,500 to 11,000 lbs per person). Modern equipment has pushed those numbers up some. But for me I find that somewhere around 12,000 lbs is a practical limit for relatively easy single-handing.
When it comes to sequencing the tasks, it gets much harder to say whether a bigger boat is easier or not. Things do happen slower on a bigger boat, but this comes at a price that there is more line to overhaul, more distance to travel to get around the boat, bigger mechanical advantages and higher losses to friction.
Often it comes down to the gear on board. You can often get by on smaller (lighter) boat with lower grade hardware and less effective hardware layouts. But as a boat becomes bigger, deck plans and hardware quaility become critical to the ease and safety of operation. Because of the longer distances involved, and higher friction and loadings, hardware design and placement becomes critical. Items like cabintop mounted mainsheet travellers , mast mounted halyards and reeflines become very questionable choices as a boat gets longer. Care must be taken to clear the mast and deck of items likely to snag sheets and other running rigging. If halyards and other control lines are run aft, as a boat get larger, low friction blocks become necessary throughout the system. Sheet winches need to be placed near the helmsman so that the helmsman does not have to stand up to make adjustments. and so on.
More on this later....gotta run.

Reading the responses on this thread it's obvious that people do have these boats that I consider to be larger boats, and that they can single hand them, so I should be able to learn too. I certainly will be committed to working with the boat and getting experience on it once I take the step, I think I can do it.
As has been said in other threads, if you wish to single-hand a lot, I would go for a tiller, because you are better to sit high-side with an extender to see forward and to judge sail trim. Again, I'm in the minority here, because I see sailboats in terms of sailing, not in terms of having drinks at the dock.
Someone's a bit biased here...

I find on smaller boats that everything happens too damn fast...

Thank you all for the great responses, there were too many to respond to individually. This thread has really influenced some of my thoughts about moving up in boat size. I am not quite as anxious about it as I was. I think my big concern was that I would not be able to control the boat out on the water, that the sails would get away from me, etc, and it sounds like with some practice I should be able to get it. I do want a bigger boat, I want the speed but I also just want more room, just more boat to be in. My mid-20's boat is great, but I can't really live on it easily, mostly because it doesn't have a head, but it also lacks some other things that would really make it a reasonable place to be all the time.
So, thanks again.
Much appreciated.
This is my ship, a Union 36, from Taiwan, 1977...
...and about on the limit of what I can handle alone.
I have no autopilot at present. I need one for sailing alone, really.
A good ship though.... not perfect, but a good ship. I am keeping this one.
|Did I read "full Keel" and "sharp turn" in the same sentence? I went from a 7800 pound O'day 28 fin keel to a 20,000 pound Endeavour 37 with a full keel, and the most noticeable thing about docking is that she does not turn as quickly! We go in slow on either boat, and the inertia is noticablely greater both in stopping and in turning. Windage has not been a problem due to elevated roadways around our marina. Single handed sailing in a boat this size virtually requires an autohelm and anchor windlass. Be certain to have a windlass switch at the helm. I don't do well manually dragging a 20,000 lb boat upstream (we sail on the Mississippi) to lift the anchor. But to echo Denise, both the 28 and the 37 are easier to dock than the 25 I had previously, because the outboard on the 25 was down below the edge of the transom. To me, whether single handing or with crew, the bigger boat is well worth the additional cost (which definitely is exponetially greater.) Among other things, both my wife and I can stand up straight inside! My dream would be an Island Packet 465 center cockpit, with its 7'3" headroom!

Book Blogs You're Bound to Enjoy!
This week my focus is on book blogs. I'm happy to say that I've been reading a lot more books lately. I'm still on the old paper and print regime. Admittedly, that's a little old school. But, you know, no offense to tablet readers, but books don't run out of batteries. They are simply there waiting to be read, to be picked up, to be enjoyed. They are at once teachers and passports. They can even be friends. So with that in mind, let's find a comfortable spot, mark our page and enjoy this brief tour through some of the best book blogs I've read lately.
Book Riot is a blog that attacks the subject of publishing form all sides. It's at times frenetic. It's probably friendlier than an actual riot. But, as far as blogs go, it's probably just as energetic. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything having to do with books. This could extend beyond the world of publishing to the world of furniture and/or design when you think of things like bookcases, etc. Check out the full review here. It was written by our very own Rachel Manwill. (Thanks, Rachel!)
Books are my Boyfriends is a blog that treats books like relationships. Each book is treated like a date, like a boyfriend. And, truthfully, I've read a whole bunch of books that were way better than the vast majority of my former relationships. Books can be just as fulfilling as a relationship is what I'm trying to say. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with books. Despite the title, this isn't really a relationship blog. Check out the full review here.
Brews and Books is a blog dedicated to two of the best things in life: books and beers. Honestly, if you're like me, you've been waiting for a blog like this. And it doesn't disappoint. It also makes me realize that a good beer and a good book both take time, patience and skill. What's more, when done right, they're both worthy of appreciation. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with beers or books. It stands to reason that a book about beer would probably be ideal. Check out the full review here.
The Book Smugglers are actually smugglers. Or they were. No they're more bloggers. Still, they remain about as addicted to books as one can be. They love the books they've already read and are excited about the ones yet to come out. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with new books. If you were hawking a line of humongous handbags, this might not be a bad blog to pitch. Check out the full review here.
Omnivoracaious is the book blog that accompanies Amazon. It's what the people who work for the largest bookseller in the universe think about books. It's sort of a must read for those who love books and the surrounding industry. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd keep in mind that these people all work at Amazon and have probably already heard of every book ever made. Check out the full review here.
That's all for now. In the meantime, if there's a blog I should be reviewing, drop me a line or a note in the comments, and I'll take a look. Until next time…
Author Tom Hynes is PR Newswire's manager of blogger relations. And as you may have guessed, he has a twitter account.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, Mar 18, 2013.
It really helps if you post more than a link, such as a blurb or a short excerpt.
Yet another from Christine Brennan. She's doesn't she ever get tired of writing the same type of drivel. I mean, does she really believe this?
So basically she says that we now have a sport and not a reality show?! I prefer the sport...
Reuters' article is titled "Glitzy Gala cannot hide figure skating warts": http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/17/us-figure-skating-worlds-idUSBRE92G0I220130317
I fail to see how what went down in the men's was "sport"
bek. Step away from the keyboard. Take a deep breath. Please. Your obsessive-compulsive posting about Chan's win across multiple forums is sad to watch.
Lather, rinse, repeat...
I'm just bored.. I will get over it in a day! Its called I have been tired all day and after Mass wanting to laze around...Tommorrow I"ll be focused on work! work! work....Plus nobody in real life watches skating so this is my way to vent!......
I just get upset because this is ruining my favorite sport.
Christine Brennan is a lousy writer, but it can't be denied that the popularity of the sport has dropped like a stone in the U.S., even before Tonya and Nancy there would often be live telecasts of the ladies FS on network television.
And even before CoP the sport was disappearing from network tv.
I honestly think skating got over saturated. However everything went down hill after 2002 Double Gold controversy!..
Very true, just another black eye to the sport, at a time when it cant take anymore of them.
I did notice how small the rink was.. I was surprised because it was in Canada.
Huh? Christine is a fantastic writer-- if she weren't, she wouldn't have the job that she has, and she wouldn't have the respect within the industry that she does (and she does-- I've seen it firsthand). If you don't like what she writes, that's fine, but she is definitely skilled at her craft. What Christine is bringing to light is that the average person who might have been watching the Latvian feed (ha!) would not understand why Chan won over Ten. Skating fans might get it, but the average viewer does not. And honestly, there are enough SKATERS who are complaining about that specific result that I tend to think that there might be some merit to it.
I agree that the popularity of FS is at the lowest I have ever seen, and I have been watching this since 1984, and been an avid fan since 1988. Nancy-Tonya episode may have given it more publicity, but long before that, our networks used to show most major competitions, and pro competitions, plus exhibitions that were actually interesting. I don't believe that 2002 Olympics made the sport less popular either. Our networks have simply dropped it and I can't understand why. ESPN does not mind showing high school girls' basketball games, but they won't show world figure skating championships. Clearly they don't see FS as a sport. I do believe they are wrong, but who can convince them (or any other network) to bring back FS on TV?
The Latvian feed must have gotten record breaking ratings.
I don't remember where 1993 Skate Canada was, but I remember Katia Gordeeva hit the wall on a throw when she landed it. I vaguely remember the commentator saying (paraphrasing) that the rink was smaller than those in the USA. Of course G&G were not from the USA, but I am assuming that the rinks in Russia are bigger than the one at SC that time. Could that be the case in London, ONT? I always thought that the practice sessions would help the skaters adjust their routines with the size of the rink. Apparently they cannot.
I meant how small the venue was.. not the rink. lol
I disagree, and David Foster Wallace for one agrees with my assessment as evidenced in an essay he wrote;I could provide a link, but I really think my life will have reached its nadir if I wind up in an on-line argument about the merits of Christine Brennan's writing, so please let's end this here.
Maybe ISU is charging the US TV network way too much money to be televised. It's really ISU's fault.
I would say it's more like as the popularity of figure skating in the US is dwindling, so are Christine Brennan's opportunities for publication, and some gets more attention than "oh, what a pretty dress".
(Note that I actually like Brennan's writing 99% of the time, but IMHO what I wrote above is true for her and for every other media person that has some knowledge and experience of figure skating coverage.)
She's not a bad writer, but she's hardly fantastic, and at least as a skating reporter, Brennan is dreadful. She doesn't do her research (she still doesn't understand the scoring system, nor does she try to; Denis Ten is not an unknown; etc.) and is horribly biased. I realize that an American journalist at a mainstream US publication will cover and support mostly American skaters, but in her case it's extreme and slanted - she was practically Frank Carroll's PR person in the months leading up to Vancouver, reporting some clearly inaccurate statements while she was at it. I've also come across nasty comments by her about skaters from other countries that were completely uncalled for.
There are certainly issues about these World Championships that did not go well, but while several bloggers have written thoughtful, interesting posts on that subject, Brennan didn't. She could have written this column about any skating event; it's her generic "IJS bad, Speedy bad, skating is a niche sport in the US ergo it's doomed everywhere" crap that she churns out every time. I would be surprised if this wasn't half-written well ahead of time.
I have no respect for her. Maybe she's better at covering other sports, but I really don't wish to find out.
I think she has a valid point. Skating is dying, at least to the layman fan.
And it's not just Brennan saying so. Fleets of coaches, commentators, media and press, not to mention past and current skaters alike, all blame the new judging system as the primary cause for skating's chronic decline.
Surely this collective response can't be dismissed as mere drivel generated in a vacuum, can it? There has to be some validity behind their arguments, don't you think?
At the end of the day, regardless of affiliation or agenda, I think people like Brennan and Hersh, as well as everyone else addressing this decline, ultimately care deeply about the sport and don't want to see it completely fade into obscurity like those other extremely insular niche sports like curling or fencing.
Yes, skating is extremely popular in Asia, but so is badminton, and when do you ever really see or hear about that sport outside of the Olympics or Asia? That's not a fate I want for skating, to have its popularity relegated to one half of the world. I'm not expecting skating to return to its glory days of the mid-90s, but even before that era skating always seemed to enjoy a tangential relationship with the casual fan and that seems to be dying quickly.
I think I would feel more comforted if the decline were appearing to stabilize, but every season I see the audience in the stands getting smaller and smaller, and the networks broadcasting less and less. I mean, have you ever seen a Canadian audience that small at a World Championship? That's scary to see IMO from a country that has such a deeply rooted history and reverence for the sport.
Ultimately, I think hardcore skating fans get the nuance of this debate and, because we are hardcore fans, can argue down to the finest decimal the merit of COP. But sometimes I think we can't see the forest for the trees.
I think the larger picture speaks for itself: the casual fans are leaving.
Say what you will about the 6.0 system, but despite all its flaws and all the wuzrobbing back in the day, the casual fans always came back to watch. I don't think they're coming back now.
I've been a skating fan for a long time and I find the argument that COP is killing off the casual fan population to be baffling.
Why would the scoring system do that?
Under 6.0:
Casual fans did not understand the scoring system.
Skaters who didn't fall lost to skaters who did.
Controversies over results were rampant.
Everyone believed the judging was corrupt.
And this was the system people were supposed to prefer??????
For years, there were demands that skating clean up its act, fix the judging (or just die, as judged sports aren't real sports, anyway), and make it easier for fans to understand the system, and every time they did something to diddle with 6.0, it got even more confusing. I got 6.0; I never did understand OBO.
And yet, people preferred it that way? Really? Why? Because they liked the drama of it all?
There is no television coverage this year; without it, skating is dead. Casual fans by definition are not going to go online looking for links to TV coverage from other countries. They aren't even going to know Worlds is going on; they never did. They would stumble across it on the weekends while flipping channels. There is no place for them to come back to. And isn't the lack of skating on television in the US the result of some kind of contract issue?
skating need the drama, its a sport that appeals to women and gay men. Bring back the soap opera aspect I say.
Maybe brennan should try writing something positive about it once in a while. Who is going to bother watching a sport that is deemed dead by a skating reporter?
Christine's article are so beyond trash... She needs some contacts besides Audrey Weisiger and coaches who don't even have any star athletes any more.
6.0 for all its faults made intuivie and emotional sense (both of which are far more important than raw numbers for the casual and semi-casual fans that any sport needs).
Tieing the scores to judges from specific countries made the scores seem more... real. And half the fun was second judging the judges.
Crucially, before 2002 the great majority of fans trusted that the judging system wasn't totally corrupt, that some of the more questionalbe results were because of finer technical details that casual fans weren't trained to see.
2002 destroyed that and everything the ISU has done since then has simply created the impression that the ISU isn't interested in stopping cheating as much as making it more difficult to detect. No matter what it has said that has been what most people understand.
I'm very sympathetic to some of the ideas behind IJS/COP but the execution has been terrible. I still have no clear idea what a good score is and the concept of "levels" has just killed spins and footwork.
I paid no attention whatsoever to figure skating this season and it's largely because the current judging system still doesn't make intuitive or emotional sense to me and doesn't engage me the way that 6.0 did (ok, and partly because eurosport has disappeared behind a paywall where I live).
All evidence to the contrary. She clearly doesn't understand what she is writing about with regards to figure skating.
- If she had been paying any attention to the sport at all, she'd know that Denis Ten is hardly unknown.
- She (and others like her) keep conflating COP with anonymous judging. They are two separate issues altogether.
- She acknowledges that the current system is fairer, but then suggests we go back to 6.0 because even though it was flawed it made for better TV. WTF?
There is an upside to skating not being as popular as it once was in the US - hopefully it means we won't have to read drivel from Brennan and her ilk as much any more.

The first full weekend of play in the NCAA tournament proved the acuity of Roy Williams' comments about the unfairness of North Carolina's eighth seed in the South Region.
"I don't mind telling you, I was stunned when I saw North Carolina in the number eight (berth)," Williams said of seeing the selections unveiled and explained. "It was a confusing show and I'm still confused."
A strong argument could be made the Tar Heels, winners of eight of 10 games entering the NCAA tournament, 12 of 16 in the conference during the regular season, and 24 overall, were eminently deserving of a seed higher than eighth. Reaching the ACC Tournament final surely burnished a fine stretch run.
Then again, a clear and chronic lack of respect for the ACC doubtless reduced such achievements in the eyes of the selection committee.
The night that bids were announced, after expressing appreciation for being included in the 68-team field, culminating months of hard work and improvement, Williams took the opportunity to defend the quality of ACC competition. The league apparently needs as many leaders as possible to speak up on its behalf.
"I am somewhat surprised and disappointed that only four ACC teams are in the field and that the league only received two number twos and two number eight seeds," Williams said in a press release, referring to Miami, Duke, UNC, and N.C. State, respectively. "I think the ACC deserved better than that."
The sense of being snubbed is nothing new. For years, the ACC's reduced standing in the eyes of tournament selectors has been painfully evident.
Step back a moment and take the long view.
A majority of ACC members were awarded NCAA bids all but once between 1984 through 1998. That's 14 times in 15 seasons. Since 1999, another 15-year span that includes this season, the ACC earned such widespread representation only four times.
Other than UNC or Duke, Miami was the first ACC squad since 1995 to finish alone in first during the regular season and then advance to win the ACC Tournament. Yet the Hurricanes were also the first in league history to achieve that feat without being rewarded with a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
That treatment contrasts with the four times since 2005 that Carolina was both the undisputed first-place finisher and the ACC Tournament champions and got a top seed in the NCAAs. The Blue Devils were similarly rewarded three times since 2000. But not Miami. Not this year.
There's more.
This is the first time since 2003, a year before Williams returned to Chapel Hill, that the ACC didn't have a No. 1 seed in the NCAA field. This is also the fourth time in the last eight seasons the conference got only four bids.
Then there's the matter of UNC's seed, a factor more significant than where the Tar Heels were forced to play. "You've heard me say this a hundred times, it's what it is so we've got to go play," Williams said of being sent to Kansas City.
Meanwhile, as Williams well knew, being tabbed an eight or nine, rather than a five or six seed, often spells the difference between a quick exit and a deep tournament run.
Win one game as an eight or nine, and the top seed, one of four teams deemed the best in the field, is your next opponent. That was UNC's fate -- a meeting with Kansas following a defeat of Villanova.
Three of four winners of 2013 matchups between eight and nine seeds were eliminated in the next round by the No. 1 teams in their region. The sole exception was No. 9 Wichita State, which topped Gonzaga in the West.
The last time UNC was seeded eighth was 2000, when the Tar Heels ousted No. 1 Stanford en route to the Final Four. A decade before that, the 1990 Heels were an eight that bumped No. 1 Oklahoma.
This year's squad, youthful and perimeter-oriented, wasn't so lucky.
Ultimately, as Williams noted, wherever a team is seeded it still has to play the games. Focusing too much on matters over which it has no control is a recipe for disaster.
When building and rebuilding toward championship runs, experiences good and bad inevitably become part of the mix. This year's two-game NCAA adventure will surely be cited as inspiration next season, an impetus to build toward better things.
The core members of the '13 squad will recall vividly the bitter taste of defeat on a stage they long dreamed of reaching. But there will also be the satisfaction of knowing first-hand the distance from participation to triumph, and an inkling of how to get there.

Traditional Korean cuisine includes meat, rice, vegetables, tofu and the ubiquitous kimchi, cabbage pickled in garlic and chili peppers. Most meals are served with banchan, side dishes (like kimchi) that are as varied as they are numerous.
Stuffed cucumber kimchi is one of those hot/cold dishes so welcomed on a sunny summer day. Countries with hot climates use chiles in abundance, and Korea is no exception. The heat from the chiles causes sweat, which cools the body as it evaporates, while the cold, crispness of the cucumbers refreshes. Kimchi, by the way, can be made with cabbage, radishes and many other vegetables, but it always includes a hefty dose of red chiles. It is the national dish of Korea, where no meal is served without at least one bowl of this spicy, condiment-like salad.
You can find additional background for this recipe in Korean Spring Picnic.
IngredientsNote: you will need several sterilized jars for this recipe.
If the cucumbers have wax on them, peel them. Cut them in half width-wise. Take each half then make two slits lengthwise at 90-degree angles to each other, cutting from the raw end almost to the base but not all the way through.
Rub salt on all sides of the cucumbers. Place cucumbers in a colander in the sink for 2 to 3 hours, or until wilted but still with some spring to them. While the cucumbers are draining, make the stuffing.
Stir together the garlic, ginger, green onion, radish, dried red chile powder and sugar.
Heat a pot of boiling water. After they have been salted and drained, quickly dip the cucumbers in the boiling water, swirl them around for 1 to 2 seconds to remove the excess salt, then plunge into ice water. Wipe the cucumbers dry then press the stuffing into the slits.
Place the cucumbers in the jars, cover tightly and let sit in a cool dark place for one day. Serve chilled within two or three days, while still crisp.

Investment in talent, affordable access highlight University of Nebraska's proposed 2011-12 operating budget
- 06/09/2011
"The operating budget I am proposing for the university will advance the Board of Regents' priorities and position the university to continue to serve the people of Nebraska well," Milliken said. He credited the Governor and Legislature for making higher education a priority in this legislative session, thus avoiding severe budget cuts that had been projected. "This budget reflects our commitment to playing a key role in growing Nebraska's knowledge-based innovation economy. Although it still requires some difficult reallocations, it puts the university in a much stronger position than many of our peers across the country."
Summary of Highlights of the University's Proposed BudgetThe university faces a shortfall of about $6 million for 2011-12, which comes on top of approximately $70 million in reallocations implemented since 2000. Despite the budgetary challenges, Milliken said, the university has been able to continue its momentum and invest in its priorities.

Board of Regents Budget Agenda Item
"We have promised Nebraska families that we will keep higher education affordable and accessible through moderate and predictable tuition increases and a strong commitment to student financial aid," he said. "This budget continues that strategy, with a 5 percent tuition increase – keeping us well below similar universities – and an additional investment in need-based financial aid. Affordable access is key to our goal of building a higher level of educational attainment in Nebraska."
Key elements of the proposed budget include:
- A 2.5 percent increase in the salary pool for faculty and staff outside the faculty collective bargaining units at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and University of Nebraska at Kearney. The funds are to be distributed on the basis of merit and performance. This year's recommended increase follows two consecutive years without general raises for faculty and staff – not a sustainable strategy if the university is to remain competitive in the global marketplace for talent, Milliken said. Already, faculty salaries at UNL and UNMC have fallen further behind their peer averages – 5.6 percent behind at UNL, and 8.3 percent behind at UNMC. In March, the Board of Regents approved collective bargaining agreements for faculty at UNO and UNK. Faculty at UNO will receive salary increases of 1.1 percent and faculty at UNK will receive 1 percent raises each of the next two years.
- A 5 percent general increase in tuition, continuing a trend of moderate, predictable increases over the past several years. The proposed increase amounts to about $120 to $150 more per semester for most resident undergraduates carrying 15 credit hours per semester, depending on which campus they attend. However, only 42 percent of UNL, 43 percent of UNO and 29 percent of UNK full-time resident undergraduates pay the full cost of tuition; most students receive financial aid that covers at least some of their tuition costs. A 5 percent tuition increase is also proposed for the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis. Milliken pointed out that NU's campuses remain an excellent value compared to their peers. Using 2010-11 figures, tuition and fees are 26 percent lower than the peer average for UNL, 12.5 percent lower for UNO and 19 percent lower for UNK.
- Special differentiated tuition rates for the College of Business and College of Engineering at UNL. These rates, which are part of the budget recommended to the Board of Regents, add $50 per credit hour for in-state undergraduates and $147 per credit hour for non-resident undergraduates in business and engineering. Differentiated rates would be applied for graduate students in both colleges as well. (A current $40 per-credit-hour course fee for engineering students is recommended for incorporation into tuition, which means it would now be covered by financial aid such as Regents Scholarships and Collegebound Nebraska.) Even with the differential, both in-state and out-of-state undergraduate tuition in both colleges remain the lowest in the Big Ten and near the bottom of the Board of Regents-approved peer group. All Big Ten universities and all of UNL's Board-designated peers have differential tuition rates for their business and engineering colleges. With the increase, in-state undergraduates majoring in business or engineering would pay about $3,000 more over the course of their undergraduate careers. The extra revenue – about $3 million for the College of Business and $1.9 million for the College of Engineering – would be reinvested in the colleges to hire more faculty, allow more course sections to be offered, decrease student-to-faculty ratio, provide students with greater access to needed courses and enhance student services. Any UNL student who takes a course in the business or engineering college would pay the differential rates for that course – but business and engineering majors would not pay the differential rates for courses outside of those colleges, so they likely will feel minimal impact from the increases during their freshman year, when they traditionally take a number of courses in other colleges. For example, a typical freshman in the College of Engineering takes about 6.5 credit hours in the college, so the impact during a resident student's first year would only be about $325. Freshmen in the College of Business Administration take an average of only two credit hours in the college, so the impact for a resident student's first year would be about $100.
- Differentiated tuition rates for the UNMC College of Public Health also are included in the budget. Currently, resident tuition is the lowest in the college's peer group; non-resident tuition is near the bottom. With the increases, resident students in the college would pay annual tuition of $6,480, an increase of $1,769 but still well below the peer average of $8,507. Non-residents would pay $15,300 annually, an increase of $2,597 but below the peer average of $16,633. The additional revenue, projected to be about $260,000, would be used to hire four new faculty to help meet growing demand created by rising enrollment in the college.
- A 5 percent increase in need-based financial aid, to $10.4 million, so students with the highest financial need will not be impacted by the tuition increase. This includes the university's tuition assistance program, Collegebound Nebraska, which guarantees that a typical Nebraska student from a family of four with one in college and an income of about $53,000 or less will pay no tuition at NU. Students covered by Collegebound Nebraska also will not be affected by the new differentiated tuition rates. This year, some 6,200 students qualified for Collegebound Nebraska funding and more than 1,400 received support from the Susan T. Buffett Foundation, which provides scholarships to students at Nebraska public universities and state and community colleges. Beyond the $10.4 million investment, the state has appropriated an additional $1.25 million for financial aid this year, of which NU students can expect to receive nearly $500,000. UNL, UNO and UNK also have matched funds allocated to the campuses by Milliken for an additional one-time investment of $1.1 million for financial aid.
- A $1 million investment in Programs of Excellence, which are high-priority academic areas across the university. For example, Programs of Excellence funds invested in UNL's Water Initiative helped lay the groundwork for a $50 million gift last year to establish the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute, and funds invested by UNO in the Nebraska University Consortium for Information Assurance has strengthened the faculty and resulted in about $18 million in external research funding.
"But budgeting for routine maintenance and upgrades is essential," Milliken said. "The fact is that the campuses routinely invest far more than 1 percent in this activity, as would any prudent organization. To demonstrate this, beginning with the coming fiscal year, the campuses will present to the Board of Regents their plans for investing in maintenance, upgrades and sustainability over the year and will provide a year-end report on actual expenditures. We believe we can satisfy both the Board and the Legislature that we are taking seriously the obligation to maintain state assets."

I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience teaching in Portugal, specifically in Porto. I'm new to the world of TEFL and would appreciate any of your expert advice! What would be the best time of year to apply, is there a summer term beginning soon? Could I secure a job before I leave home or do I need to be living in Porto for the job search? How do I apply, do I just start sending out CVs to all the language schools in the city, or should I be more selective? How long do I need to commit to if I do take a job? How many hours a week will I need to work?
Ideally I'd like to stay there for 2 to 3 months, working part time to gain some teaching experience (with time to socialise!) and making the rest of my living expenses up from my savings.
I've just finished a basic TEFL qualification and have no experience as of yet, but I'm hoping to do some volunteer teaching work before I leave Dublin so that I'll have some experience. I have a degree and I'm a native English speaker, and I've lived in Porto to study and work on and off for the last 2 years.
Thanks so much

Thank you for sharing and congrats. What a blessing. I hope you are cancer free forever. This helps to lift my spirits. yay!!!
A little over a year ago Bob had liver resection (unfortunately with microscopic cancer cells at one margin), then underwent Xeloda and radiation therapy, rested for a month and then on to six cycles of gem/cisplatin. He has just had his third MRI, no sign of cancer. There is hope. We are so happy. He looks great and feels even better. Again, there is hope. Unfortunately insurance denied all of our treatments. Bastards.
Dear jgutt, CONGRATULATIONS on Bob being a CC SURVIVOR. That is the best news ever! These Insurance Companies....Grrrrr. Has your Doctor tried writing them? Sometimes it really helps for them to step in. Love the GOOD news though!
We had three appeals, all denied, even though the Ombudsman thought that with positive margins in Bob's case he should have adjuvant chemotherapy. The insurance company decided to interpret it differently. Three oncologists recommended chemo, and everytime a insurance case worker would call they were just plain nasty. We were approved in the beginning, then they said they made a mistake, which took Bob out of the running for some clinical trials because he had already started the xeloda and radiation. Enough said the most important thing is that my husband is alive and well. My plea is for everyone to stay positive. For a cancer that we were told was very, very rare, it apparently isn't so, but THERE IS HOPE. One thing is for sure, we certainly look at life differently now.

Jan. 31, 2004
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
University of Tennessee junior Dee Dee Trotter rocketed to victory in the 200-meter dash with the world's fastest time in 2004, breaking the school record and earning an automatic NCAA qualifying time Saturday afternoon, as the eighth-ranked Lady Volunteers closed out the Penn State National Open in very impressive fashion.
Trotter, who already owned the UT outdoor mark in the 400 meters at 50.66, unleashed a scintillating 200 to out-duel Nike's Rachelle Boone and Penn State All-American Connie Moore with a world-leading time of 23.19. That mark, which bested Boone's 23.35 and Moore's automatic 23.43, enabled the Decatur, Ga., product to unseat previous global-leader Veronica Campbell of Arkansas, who ran a 23.28 on Jan. 23 to also pace the U.S. collegiate ranks.
Trotter's handiwork erases Sue Walton's 23.23 Lady Vol standard from the 1995 NCAA Championship meet in Indianapolis, Ind. It also wiped out Boone's previous record at PSU's Ashenfelter Indoor Track, which the former Indiana standout plated in 2002. Furthermore, it overshadowed career-best outings from her teammates, junior Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Ontario, Canada) and freshman Tianna Madison (Elyria, Ohio), who placed fourth and seventh, respectively, in 24.02 and 24.24.
"Dee Dee is obviously ahead of where she was last year, and that's very encouraging for her development," Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "The time doesn't surprise me, because her short sprints have been going well. When those go well, it usually indicates you are capable of running a fast 200 time.
"She's a very talented, very gifted young lady. We are trying to develop her to be as good as she can be. In turn, that will help our team develop as well."
In the final event of the day, the squad from Rocky Top put a capper on a phenomenal meet with a provisional reading of 3:38.34 to capture the 4x400m relay crown in a photo finish with Pittsburgh. Tennessee improved its national ranking to fourth in that event and its SEC stature to third without Trotter, who rested while junior Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.), freshman Leslie Treherne (Chesapeake, Va.), junior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.) and senior Kameisha Bennett (Dayton, Ohio) carried the stick to victory. The time, which was read to 1/1000th of a second to determine the winner, was an improvement over UT's previous season best of 3:39.04c at last weekend's SEC Invitational.
"It was nice to cap off the meet with a win in the 4x4," Clark said. "To run that fast of a time without Dee Dee demonstrates the potential for exciting times later in the season when we add her back into the mix. It should give us a very competitive relay, nationally."
In the 800-meter run, the Big Orange monopolized the proceedings with a one-two-three finish and came oh-so-close to landing three provisional clockings. Senior Lindsay Hyatt (Auburn, Calif.), who ran a stellar anchor leg on UT's school-record-setting distance medley relay on Friday night, returned to action on Saturday and edged teammate Mindy Sullivan for the win in 2:09.16, just missing the 2:09.00 'B' cut. Sullivan, a redshirt freshman from Lubbock, Texas, was nearly identical at 2:09.17 in finishing second, while Bennett followed closely in third at 2:09.27 and presented evidence that she is returning to form after sitting out the 2003 campaign. Those marks represent the fourth, fifth and sixth-fastest times in the SEC this season, ranking behind teammates Cook (2:05.20c) and Treherne (2:08.16c) as well as Florida's Kamille Bratton (2:08.46c).
Other Lady Vol finishers in the 800 meters on Saturday include Gorham, who was 12th in a career-best 2:14.22; Treherne, who was 13th in 2:14.30, and junior Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.), who was 37th in 2:19.33.
Later in the afternoon, sophomore Brooke Novak was equally as close to checking in with a provisional during her victorious effort in the mile run. The Kaukauna, Wis., native covered the distance in a PR 4:48.98, coming up just short of the 4:48.40 provisional standard. Senior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) followed suit with the best time of her career in the mile, navigating the banked oval in 4:53.01 to place fifth.
In the day's first running event, sophomore Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) and redshirt freshman Megan Cauble (Knoxville, Tenn.) each logged personal bests en route to top-five finishes in the 3000 meters. Flaute took fourth in 9:50.14, while Cauble followed her across the line in fifth at 9:52.96.
In other noteworthy accomplishments, sophomore Jessica Reust (Knoxville, Tenn.) came through with a career-topping effort of 12 feet, six inches (3.81m) to finish sixth and move to number five on the UT all-performers list and fourth on this year's SEC performers list. Additionally, freshman Edra Finley (Mobile, Ala.) took fifth with a personal-record leap of 38 feet, nine inches (11.81m) in the triple jump and continues to rank fourth on the conference list.
"Overall, it was a very good meet for us," Clark said. "In addition to Dee Dee, we had some individual winners in Brooke, Lindsay and Tianna and numerous personal records again this weekend. We moved closer to qualifying more people for the NCAA meet and continue preparing them for the SEC Championships. "
The Lady Volunteers, who are slated to return to Knoxville on Sunday, will take next weekend off from competition before resuming action at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb. 13-14.
AMERICAN RECORD FOR JMC: Jearl Miles-Clark, the wife of J.J. Clark, set the crowd at the Penn State National Open a buzz with a sensational race in the 500 meters, charting an American record en route to victory in 1:08.71. Her mark, coming as she continues her training for the 2004 Olympic Games, topped the previous U.S. women's mark of 1:08.82, which belonged to Miles-Clark's sister-in-law and former Lady Vol, Joetta Clark-Diggs.

"After a term and a half of delivering singing sessions to our local Junior schools I have become a follower of Sherlock and have recommended the books to colleagues, school music teachers etc. Perhaps a bigger recommendation is that the pupils themselves have been turned on to singing while I have been using these books."
(National Association of Choirs, March 2003)
"In the short time that these two books have been available they have already become established as a necessary component of any primary music collection. They appear to be successful on two counts: firstly, they consider developmental issues in children's singing. The songs get progressively more complex in terms of subject matter, melodic contour and rhythm. Teachers are supported by a series of case notes, which offer advice on vocal skills and extension activities. Secondly, very experienced writers of children's song, such as Lin Marsh, Alan Simmons and David Lawrence, have written the songs. The topics are relevant to today's children and the quality of the music is generally stimulating and engaging".
(MMA Journal, September 2003)
"Singing plays a central role in music education, especially in primary schools, and Singing Sherlock is a well thought-out resource which contains valuable and attractive material that will appeal to children."
"Singing Sherlock is an excellent new resource for primary schools containing songs both new and old that will be a welcome addition to any primary school music collection."
(Zone, Spring 2004)
"The three accompanying CDs provide an important performance model and give the starting note, the songs along with separate backing tracks for the more tricky pieces. It goes without saying that these books are a valuable teaching resource but more importantly, they are highly enjoyable. The songs are catchy and varied and the inclusion of raps and chants will motivate even the most reluctant of singers. Singing Sherlock is a superb collection which will surely inspire good singing in any school."
(Link magazine, Issue 10, Summer 2006)

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2012
Property Tax Rules
Title 18, Public Revenues California Code of Regulations
Subchapter 1. Valuation Principles and Procedures (1–100)
Rule 4
Rule 4. The Comparative Sales Approach to Value.
Reference: Sections 110, 110.1, 110.5, 401, Revenue and Taxation Code. Article XIII A, Sections 1, 2, California Constitution.
When reliable market data are available with respect to a given real property, the preferred method of valuation is by reference to sales prices. In using sales prices of the appraisal subject or of comparable properties to value a property, the assessor shall:
(a) Convert a noncash sale price to its cash equivalent by estimating the value in cash of any tangible or intangible property other than cash which the seller accepted in full or partial payment for the subject property and adding it to the cash portion of the sale price and by deducting from the nominal sale price any amount which the seller paid in lieu of interest to a lender who supplied the grantee with part or all of the purchase money.
(b) When appraising an unencumbered-fee interest, (1) convert the sale price of a property encumbered with a debt to which the property remained subject to its unencumbered-fee price equivalent by adding to the sale price of the seller's equity the price for which it is estimated that such debt could have been sold under value-indicative conditions at the time the sale price was negotiated and (2) convert the sale price of a property encumbered with a lease to which the property remained subject to its unencumbered-fee price equivalent by deducting from the sale price of the seller's equity the amount by which it is estimated that the lease enhanced that price or adding to the price of the seller's equity the amount by which it is estimated that the lease depressed that price.
(c) Convert a sale to the valuation date of the subject property by adjusting it for any change in price level of this type of property that has occurred between the time the sale price was negotiated and the valuation date of the subject property.
(d) Make such allowances as he deems appropriate for differences between a comparable property at the time of sale and the subject property on the valuation date, in physical attributes of the properties, location of the properties, legally enforceable restrictions on the properties' use, and the income and amenities which the properties are expected to produce. When the appraisal subject is land and the comparable property is land of smaller dimensions, and it is assumed that the subject property would be divided into comparable smaller parcels by a purchaser, the assessor shall allow for the cost of subdivision, for the area required for streets and alleys, for selling expenses, for normal profit, and for interest charges during the period over which it is anticipated that the smaller properties will be marketed.
History: Adopted June 21, 1967, effective July 23, 1967.

Snow showers bring more slipping on New Hampshire roads
The light snowfall Sunday came with temperatures just below the freezing mark, resulting in slippery spots where treatment had not been applied or had washed away. Accidents impeding traffic have been reported in Derry, Lee, Sandown and Brentwood.
In Derry, a spin-out on Interstate Route 93, in which two cars collided, backed up traffic for about a mile at about 9:30 a.m.
National Weather Service forecasters said some snow showers are possible Sunday afternoon with temperatures falling into the 20s Sunday night and into single digits and below-zero readings by late Monday as another Arctic cold air mass settles in for the remainder of the work week.

Awesome work!
Man, that looks sweet! I can't wait to see more! I am a little concerned about how far the rf stalk ear cap sticks out. Is it me, or is it protruding a little to much? That definately made my day bro! Thanks!
Buckeye_01 said:
The earcap is sticking out a little more than it would if it were glued on because I just secured it with some folded over masking tape for the pictures. However the SGB buckets do have the older style 'thicker' onepiece earcaps kind of like the old MS1's.
I gotcha. Thanks for the updates man! I'm friggin sittin here droolin over those pics. I can't wait to see that bad boy in the flesh!Quote:

Awesome work as usual bro, your painting skills with cans astounds me. I'm using your technique/colors on mine ATM and if it comes out even close to what you do I'll be happy.
Buckeye01, you will not be dissapointed with AFFO$'s paintjob, in fact you'l be totally blown away by it, guaranteed!! His attention to detail is incredible, made my bucket look so authentic :)
Looking awesome there Paul, keep up the good work.
That's exactely why I wanted him to fix my bucket up! :lol I was blown away with his non-topical bucket he did a few months ago. I wish I had the extra change laying around to get it, but this is the next best thing.Quote:
welsh_bounty_hunter said:
Looks great! Are those kill stripes decals?
another awesome helmet paintjob. Were the stratches in the cheek meant to be there, I dont remember them.
superjedi said:
Thanks for all the kind words guys! The killstripes are not decals. They are painted on. I use the old fashioned method of masking off each killstripe with masking tape and mustard. The masking tape helps create a bit of an edge build up when painted. I think it adds a cool raggedness to the overall look of the helmet.
Cal- The scratches on the cheek are supposed to be there. They will tone down with weathering mists and washes.
Here are a few more progress pics. I'm aiming to have this baby finished this weekend, Jon. I know you're anxious to get it back.:)
Looking slick man
Take your time bro. You are doing a fantastic job, and I don't want you to rush and mess up a thing of beauty!
Here's some pics of the finished front. Thought I'd throw these up here while I'm working on the back.
What are these on an Assembly-line??? :lol
Wow ...As always great work AFFO$..:thumbsup
You got mad skills AFFoD!:love
Awesome work buddy!:thumbup
hehe... i can see my baby in the background...:cry :lol :rolleyes
Always awesome work from you bro.
What a beaut! I can't wait to see the back of that bad boy.
Here are some progress pics of the back of the helmet. Getting all of the major scratches out of the way. Sorry for the lighting in the pics. My rooms lights really distort the colors. Not too much longer now Jon! :D
MR needs to call you....you are the fastest FETT bucket painter in the world
think you could crank out 500???
Looking really good Paul, can't wait to see a shabad's bucket thread up here one day!! :lol
My armor looks incredible now by the way - thanks to AFFO$$...
Man ol man Paul! You continue to amaze me bro! You have some mad skills man! I'm in Berea right now on a lousy business trip. If you want to have a beer or 9 tomorrow night, give me a holler. Keep up the good work

After leading the Canisius College men's soccer team to a win against rival St. Bonaventure, senior midfielder Will Hudson was named MAAC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Hudson scored both goals in the Griffs' 2-1 victory at St. Bonaventure on Sunday. After the Bonnies opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, it took Hudson just 40 seconds to tie the game – netting an unassisted goal. The senior then scored the game-winning tally in overtime, finding the back of the net from the penalty spot for the 2-1 win.
The London, England native is currently tied for the team lead with seven points and three goals in seven games this season. In 60 career contests, Hudson has totaled 24 points, nine goals and six assists.
The weekly accolade is the second for Hudson in his career. He also earned MAAC Offensive Player of the Week honors as a junior after netting three goals in a win over St. Francis.
Hudson and the Griffs turn their attention toward the conference season this weekend. Canisius hosts Manhattan in its MAAC opener on Saturday at 7 p.m.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|That's what I thought you wanted to do, I just wasn't sure. You need to get the windlace installed around the doors first, which will require you to loosen the headliner in that area. Ideally, you should take out the old headliner. Do you have the old headliner? If not, buy an inexpensive headliner from someone like Kanter, ( www.kanter.com ) take it apart and use the pieces for a pattern. The windlace is tacked or stapled to fiber strips that surround the perimeter of the doors. Those metal pieces with the teeth facing the outside of the car around the top part of the door should unscrew, and there will be tacking strip underneath. The tacking strip is held in place by metal "V" shaped teeth. If some of the tacking strip is missing, it needs to be replaced. You can replace missing sections with strips of black waterboard glued together to make the width and thickness you need. After the windlace is installed, put the metal strips back in and the headliner gets tucked up underneath in that area. Do the headliner the way you want to do it, with the pleats running side to side. Matching the pleats front to back could be a real headache. Check out the knowledge base for more detailed instructions in hanging the new headliner.
Interior Headliner
I plan to use the original bows that came with the car. Roll & Pleat is the term I grew up with. It means cutting the vinyl into 1 &1/2 inch strips-plus1/2 inch on each side for the seam (alternating white and purple stripes) and sewing them together with listing cloth sewn in where the bows cross the top of the car. I would prefer for the stripes to go from side to side, but have heard that it can be impractical. I also plan to use a wider strip of vinyl, front and rear, to finish extending the headliner to where it is glued to the metal of the car and down the rear quarter in front of the rear glass. I am also unsure how to fasten the windlace around the door - is it tucked in up over the door the same place the headliner is pushed in, or somplace else? I'm also not sure where it goes on the rear of the kick panels. As I said, I apologize for my stupidity, but I've never done a headliner before. All help will be appreciated beyond imagination! See 52HEMI Journal for Photos.
|I would love to help you, but I'm not sure what you want to do. Do you want to install a "hard" headliner or use the bows that came in the car? I think that's the reason you haven't gotten any replies up until now. I'm perplexed, (and I think everyone else is too.) Please explain better what you want to do. The problem is "tuck and roll" , or "roll and pleat" means different things to different people. ???
Roll & Pleat 52 Ford Headliner/Panels
I am going to attempt to sew and install my first roll & pleat headliner and door/quarter panels in a '52 Ford Clb Cpe. Anyone that has photos and instructions and would be willing to assist me with same would be greatly appreciated. Should the stripes in the headliner go lengthwise or crosswise? I plan to put a single color wide strip at the windshield and rear glass to make it easier to stretch and install. Again, photos, instructions or help of any kind will be most greatly appreciated (and Needed!!!). Thanks

text: I know it is too early to discuss about Sochi Olympics. However, ticket will be on sale pretty soon and we don't have much information about Sochi such as accommodations, transportations, safety, etc. So I think it might be good to open a thread to discuss about all these things with those who are interested. I did some research, and found that the ticketing will be reallllly touch for non-Russian residents. Also there arent many direct flights to Sochi. Also I heard that the rink is located in the middle of nowhere so it is really hard to access (may be improved in the future..) Anyways if anyone has some information , let's share

Tennessee still holds a 62-9 overall advantage against Vanderbilt.
When playing in Nashville, UT has a 24-7 edge over the Commodores.

Shrader-Frechette's lecture, "False Profits: Environmental Controversy, Private Interest and Science, and Who Gets Hurt," will examine what counts as scientific evidence when assessing reports on environmental issues such as global warming. Grazer, author of Catholics Going Green, will discuss the principle of Catholic social teaching in relationship to environmental issues and then suggest practical ways this teaching can be incorporated into Christian education and social ministry.
Registration is $50; housing on campus for the two-day conference is $75 per night. For more information, contact Chris Lively at firstname.lastname@example.com or 713-525-3812 or visit www.theyounginstitute.org

Red Star Traders Outdoor Furniture
This outdoor furniture is designed to go outside. Unlike your leather recliner. Oh, you COULD take it outside, certainly, but a leather recliner would not last out there. Not like this stuff. It's designed to survive the harsh realities of the outdoors.

I'm living in Norway, and I'm having a hard time getting hold of the modelmaster/pollyscale paints I need for my armour. I'm doing the jetpack and helmet in Humbrol, but the rest I think I need these paints for.
Is anyone willing to buy these for me and ship them? I'll pay for everything, and if they're stopped in the customs, that's my problem.
I've tried sending emails to stores, but they wont ship them to me. The reason these paints aren't sold in Norway, is because they lack some text about the chemicals, so it's all just a stupid papermill problem.
Please anyone, help me finish my project!
