|Part of Yhc
1 In relation to nhc98
Q) What did you think needed changing from nhc98?
A) nhc98's backend had several problems (not portable to Windows, high memory bug).
Q) nhc98 had a small size and a simple implementation, what about yhc?
A) Yhc has simpler bytecodes (not by much, but by a bit) and is designed to have a simpler implementation. Yhc needs fewer bytecodes to encode a program, and executes each bytecode slightly faster.
Q) I was interested in nhc, should I now be more interested in yhc?
A) Good question. Unfortunately there isn't a good answer yet - try them both and see which one you like. nhc98 has a better build system, and will generally just work if your machine is supported. yhc is in theory more portable, but you will need to spend longer working out how to get it up and running.
Q) Does the Yhc back-end support everything that the current nhc98 back-end does?
A) Not yet. Nhc98 supports heap and time profiling whereas this hasn't been implemented yet, more crucially the FFI support in yhc is also not ready yet. However, in terms of simple Haskell 98, yhc does everything nhc98 does.
2 Portability
Q) How portable is Yhc itself?
A) If your architecture has a C compiler that at least looks slightly ANSI C compliant, it should be a 10 minute port. Most of this time will be spent fighting with the build system rather than the source code. It should certainly be possible to bootstrap yhc and we intend to provide makefiles for doing this soon.
Q) What about programs compiled by Yhc?
A) If you use sensible libraries - i.e. don't build up filepaths by ++, then you should be fine. If you use the FFI you will need to compile the FFI bits separate for every platform you support.
3 Others
Q) It supports Unicode?

Any updates? I don't want to see this thread die!
That has got to be the SIIIIICKEST thing i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice custom work on the figure. Just wondering if you have anymore updates on this???
Truly inspirational work, such impeccable attention to detail!
I spent about 20 minutes checking out this thread and I have been blown away. Working with such small parts is not my thang, even with my headband thing with the magnifying lens so I can see up close, I'd shake way too much. You got some talent there Darklord!
oh my.... I am in love
(sorry for bumping old thread)
Holy wow. Oh man, this is incredibly impressive! Job well done!
Where are the final pics? This thread is AMAZING.
What a terrific thread! The execution and craftsmanship is just jaw dropping, and the product is looking amazing! Can't wait to see updated pics!
Definitely OUTSTANDING job so far. Really fascinating looking this progress. Keep the good work.
kinda inspires me
Yeah, it's pretty stunning. I have made 1/6 scale figures that looked worse and had less precision than this one. Amazing work, especially at that scale.
Hate to dig up an older thread but any update?!
+1 on the Holy smokes train.
As a massive fan of 3 3/4 scale figures this is truly amazing!!!! How the heck did I miss this!?
Amazing build wish we could see the finished product.

Oil changes....
Well its that time, I have my 95 Ram with a 360 running smoothly and since I just got it it needs ALL the oil changed... The problem is I have a choice on running Dexron 3 or Chrysler + type in the trans and the transfer case, any suggestions on what is better? I'm also looking for suggestions on the Differentials and thinking of going with a synthetic engine oil.
Any suggestions are welcome thank you.

ATF+4 is compatible for all transmitions for the most part with the exception of the new CVT. I also put a little of the Limited Slip additive in there. Helps more than anything of the shelf at autozone.

95 Ram PP, I don't think Omni's have a Transfer case but one never knows.
thanks for pointing out my flaws now nobody will think I'm perfect.
Ive been filling it up with +4 but I'm not sure whats in everything, need to do a rear output shaft seal on the trans and reseal the entire transfer case, might do a rebuild on it too to quiet it down a little bit.

I figured it wasn't vehicle specific information I was looking for even though year makes a difference and please don't take me seriously on that one, I was just being an ass and joking around, though I thought you could of at least picked something with a transfer case, say a stealth or some other AWD car.
Honestly I'm looking for opinions on Name brands and advice on weather to stick to the +4 for more money a quart or if there isn't a difference between that and Dex 3 for less, and I have no experience with synthetics so name dropping would be help full, just because Quaker state leaked the least in my F150 and Valvoline felt like it lasted longer in my Cadillac wont mean its the best stuff for my dodge, though the +4 stuff is less available than the Dexron 3, I've spent a lot of time and money on this engine and want it to keep running like it is now for as long as I can manage.
Anyone have an opinion on synthetic engine oils?
thanks for the no slip tip Sonic, will add some, I really do hate automatic transmissions!

No problem. If you shoot me your vin I can probably find out everything you need as far as fluids go. Synthetics are better and in my truck honestly the best oil I ever ran was the quaker state 4x4 semi synthetic. I dont anymore cause well I am broke but the truck rans great and it really did improove my gas milage. The transmitions are a pain in the ass but if you take care of them youll be fine. Try not to over heat your fluids especially when wheeling. It should always be in the back of your mind how long you been ragging on your rig. Coolers and temp gages can be a great help. Also if it has been a while since the trans was flushed change the filter too. I have been running at least a 38 inch tire for five years and I do wheel my truck. I have never rebuilt andthing because it failed. I rebuilt the trans before my warrenty ran out and that was it. Just keep you fluids clean and youll do fine.

Thanks Sonic, I already checked with the dealer and the dipstick says "Chrysler Plus type or Dexron II" and when I got my build sheet I asked the guy at the computer.
What I should do Is check my manual to see if Valvoline marked the type of fluid they put in when the guy had the changes done (they are all recoded in the back of the manual) Regardless I think Ill just flush everything with Plus 4 and put some good 80-90 in the reared. As someone once told me, there are only 3 or 4 plants in the country that actually refine the oil so its all the same stuff, its just who adds what detergents.

quaker state and pensoil have a high parifin wax in them and tend to sludge more than say a valvoline or havalin it's not because of were they are refined but because the were they come from. Texas oils are the best for oil in my opinion.
trans wize use atf+4 or you will probly get a shudder.
Axles use whatever but make sure to put in limited slip adative if you have one or your clutches will be gone very shortly.
|March 12th, 2007, 09:32 PM

The first part might explain why Quaker State leaked less in my ford...
the funny part it list Plus type or Dextron 2 on the dipstick, but I think I am going to go with a +4 and my axles are open unless you want to loan me a limited slip
Ive heard the negatives about Quaker state foaming too much or some other thing but my last truck seemed to run best on it and it ran clean and leaked less.
I think im going to run a valvoline in this one for now and see who has what in a plus type, Plus is a lot more than Dexron and I've only seen it in valvoline and Shell so far.

text: I'm thinking about replacing a failing 50gal gas water heater with a tankless unit. The problem is that my house experiences frequent power outages, sometimes days at a time. So far we have been able to weather the outages because the tank heater still provided hot water. If I switch to a tankless unit, that benefit goes away. I've seen an ad online for something called the Hugo battery backup for tankless heaters http://hugo-powersupply.com/ . It looks like it will do the trick. However, the only thing I can find about it seems to have been written by the guy trying to sell them. Has anyone here used these devices, and what was your experience with them? Are there any other alternatives I should be considering? (I realize that sticking with a tank unit or installing a generator are options) Thanks, Brian

text: Two weeks ago I was bowhunting and saw this buck right before dark run by and was all bloody leaving a sray of blood trail in the snow. Thinking it was hit by other hunters that were there I waited to tell them where it went but they ssaid they had not hit it. I came back an hour after dark and tracked it to its bed where from the trail it took off running so I came back in the morning and it ran down120 more yards and bedded about 4 beds till the coyotes got her. when I rolled it over to see if it was a bow or slug that hit it I found its nut sack was about 8 inchs around and green on the edges with a tube falling out from the bottom of it from an one inch cut, It probably jumped a barb wire fence and it hung down far enough to catch. I did not want to try to salvage any meat from it so I put a cam on it to get the coyote coming back for more. in two weeks no coyotes but mostly a coon that ate till the camera gave out 4 days ago . Here is a pic of the bulging sack and a few of the critters that ate. I only got one pic of the fox. and 200 of the coon and 100 of the mice. Photo bucket did not like the pic of the swollen bloody sack but here are some pics

Both the Gressers and Reliable Exterminators have requested that an oral argument be scheduled. Among the questions presented in this appeal are: (1) whether the Gresser's state law claims are preempted by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide & Rodenticide Act; (2) whether the pesticide is defective under the Indiana Product Liability Act; (3) whether Reliable Exterminators was negligent in its application of the pesticide; (4) whether Gresser's expert evidence is sufficient to prove causation; and (5) whether Gresser is entitled to punitive damages.

Product Description
The choice for the truly discriminating driver, Bilstein HDs offer handling so superior, they're capable of damping wheel movement as small as 2mm. And that's smooth!
Most stock shocks just don't have enough damping on compression and rebound. The result is mushy transitional performance, brake dive, choppy feel on expansion joint and in some cases, suspension crash through.
Explaining how Bilstein HDs improve ride with increased damping is difficult. How can the ride be smoother and feel plusher if the shock is stiffer? A big part of improvement comes from Bilstein's patented digressive valving system that helps soak up initial shock loads before full damping is achieved. This takes off the edge of most impacts and completely changes the feel of the car. An unusually high number of customers have called back with praise of Bilsteins. One customer went so far as to say, "You guys are too subtle in your ads for these things, you've got to let people know that this is the fix!"
Potential Product Fitment Issues
These Bilsteins are designed for stock height cars (not lowered). The valving is the same as the "Sport" models -- the difference is only the height of the strut.
Does NOT fit cars with FOUR-C Active suspension
Does NOT fit XC70 models.
Please note: Although Bilstein HD struts feature internal bump stops and already have a dust boot installed you still need to use the top "stop" washer between the top of the strut and the bottom of the upper spring seat.

There is an ongoing dispute as to whether Turkey is an Asian or a European nation, but the Swedish government made clear it wants Turkey to become a member of the European Union. Prime Minister Fredrick Reinfeldt said "Sweden fully supports Turkey's bid to join the European Union… Turkey belongs to Europe." However, he urged that Turkey could assist its own desire to join the EU by working to resolve problems on the divided island of Cyprus. Cyprus has been divided since 1974 into a Muslim and a Christian nation. Most nations recognize the Greek Cypriot state but few recognize the Turkish Cypriot state. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan warned hard line Turk Cypriots not to create problems that would impair his nation's ability to enter the EU.
Turkey faces many issues in obtaining membership in the EU. There is fear of allowing a predominant Muslim nation into the group so it is important for Erdogan to find a way to resolve the Cypriot division in such a manner that respects the rights of both groups. Unless he does something, it seriously damages the ability of Turkey to be treated as a European nation.

BIOL 114N – From Conception to Birth
4 semester hours
McWhorter, Michelle
During this course, we will discuss the major concepts in human embryology and development. There will also be significant discussion of the ethical and moral issues surrounding the human embryo, such as stem cells and cloning. While there is no laboratory component to this course, you will be required to participate in a panel discussion and submit a written paper on the ethics discussion panel.
COMM 324 – Family Communication
4 semester hours
Warber, Katie
Pre-requisites: COMM 200 and COMM 270S; or permission of instructor
This advanced course examines topics related to 1) family communication and basic family processes, 2) communication in family subsystems, 3) communication during family stress, and 4) family interaction, health and well-being. Research and theories from communication, sociology and psychology will be used to explain issues related to the family. Discussion topics include, for example, marital, parent-child, sibling, and intergenerational interactions in the family. Research pertaining to marital satisfaction, divorce, courtship, and the impact of the family on its children (and vice-versa) will also be examined.
ENGL 180A – Film Noir
4 semester hours
Hinson, Scot
Prerequisite: ENGL 101E
Film noir, or "black film," has been variously labeled as a period in film history, a style of film, and as a separate film genre with its own themes and conventions. No matter how you define it, films labeled as film noir are "deeply unromantic" films that "take a sneaking delight in their displays of passion gone wrong and of murderous calculation confounded." This course will examine the distinctive "noir" visual style and the characteristic "noir" thematics of lives ruled by an unkind fate. We will also trace the history of film noir from its origins in German expressionism and postwar nihilism, to its golden period in the 1940's and 1950's, and to its persistence through the rest of the 20th century in neo-noir and retro-noir. We will also look at the debt that these films owe to what the French called "serie noir," the searing crime and detective fiction of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's. We will examine particularly closely the cultural work of these films and the questions film noir raises about the nature of masculinity, femininity, and homosexuality and their representations in film noir. Writing intensive. Cross-listed with Women's Studies.
ENGL 180A – Jane Goes to the Movies
4 semester hours
Inboden, Robin
Prerequisite: ENGL 101E
Jane Austen would probably be bemused (and amused) were she alive today to see the veritable entertainment empire that has sprung from her novels, which she self-deprecatingly described as "little bit[s] (two Inches wide) of Ivory on which I work with so fine a Brush, [producing] little effect after much labour." In her metaphor she is a miniaturist, producing tiny portraits—but for over sixty years, her work has filled the big screen, with no signs of stopping any time soon.
In this course we will read the major novels of Jane Austen and view representative film and television adaptations of them. Not only will we learn basic critical skills for reading fiction and viewing film, but we will find that our discussion of the novels will be illuminated by the choices made (and not made) by filmmakers. We will also explore the continuing popularity of Jane Austen and her novels: what does the current boom in Austen adaptations, sequels, prequels, etc. suggest about our own society's values, desires, and anxieties? We will also examine Austen's life in various versions, as well as considering other fictions and films related to her work. The graded work of the course will include several analytical papers, a final exam, quizzes, and a creative/analytical project.
Writing Intensive. Cross-listed with Cinema Studies and Women's Studies.
ENGL 290A – American Literary Traditions
4 semester hours
Wilkerson, Carmiele
Prerequisite: ENGL 180A, ENGL 190A/C or ENGL 270A
Hector St. Jean de Crévecoeur aka Michel Guillaume Jean de Crèvecœur (1735-1812) immigrated from France to Canada in 1755, and settled in New York state where he became a citizen, changed his name to Hector John St.-John, married an American and bought a farm. In 1782 he published a collection of 12 essays in a volume titled Letters from an American Farmer and in 1925, well after his death, an unpublished set of essays appeared, Sketches of Eighteenth Century America, or More Letters from an American Farmer. The collections grapple with Crévecoeur's most famous question "What is an American." In this course we will examine the American immigrant experience.
We will begin by reading Crévecoeur, using him to explore one of the first definitions of the American Dream and to discuss the largest group of forced immigrants to America, Africans. Our early readings will ground an exploration of 20th and 21st century American writing through individual works by American immigrants. Heavy Reading.
ENGL 365 – Literary Immersion: George Eliot's Middlemarch
4 semester hours
Inboden, Robin
Prerequisite: ENGL 101E
Virginia Woolf called it "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people." Martin Amis and Julian Barnes (and not a few others) call it the greatest novel in the English language. Published in 1871-72, Middlemarch exemplifies both the realistic novel and the Victorian multi-plot novel, introducing us to a cross-section of nineteenth-century English village life. An idealistic heiress, a reform-minded young doctor, a self-righteous banker, a clueless squire, a willful artist, an ambitious beauty, a shriveled clergyman—we will meet them all and find, through Eliot's steady gaze, a core humanity even in the worst of them. Reading responses/quizzes, a brief presentation on historical context, and a take-home final will constitute the graded work of the course, but our focus will be on reading and discussing this monumental and moving work. Cross-listed with Women's Studies.
ENGL 372A – Bad Girls: From Eve to Mary (Wollstonecraft)
4 semester hours
Richards, Cynthia
Prerequisites: ENGL 270A and ENGL 280A /Non-majors must have junior standing
This course will examine the work of women writers from the medieval period to the early nineteenth century and will be organized around the most common tropes by which a woman becomes a "bad girl." I am sure you know those "tropes" already, but to remind you (and to use their less vulgar incarnations) they are: the fallen woman, the shrew, the prostitute, the coquette, and the promiscuous woman. This year, the course will also add a new and modern category for female "acting out;" the mean girl. The course will begin by looking at the original "bad girl," Eve, and will examine in detail a period of particularly virulent misogynist attacks during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, all played out through an examination of Eve's original transgression. We will look at the feminist responses to these debates, including—I would argue--Milton's representation of Eve in Paradise Lost.
We will then go back to discuss the shrew or masculinized woman, starting with Chaucer's Wife of Bath and Margery Kempe's account of her spiritual life and concluding in Margaret Cavendish's early foray into science fiction The Blazing World (1665). We will then move on to the figure of the prostitute, focusing primarily on the Restoration stage and the work of Aphra Behn. From there, we will examine the coquette or the tease, a figure of womanhood intrinsically connected—interestingly enough—with the birth and development of the novel in the eighteenth century. We will also take on a modern category for female transgression—"the mean girl"—by exploring the biting, sometimes catty, satire of Frances Burney's play, The Witlings. We will conclude with the figure of the promiscuous woman, focusing on the overtly feminist work of Mary Wollstonecraft and how that intersected with the complexities of her own troubled, romantic history. As a coda to the class, we will look at Frankenstein, written by Wollstonecraft's daughter, Mary Shelley, and examine how the "bad girl" goes underground in this novel, strangely taking the form of a masculine monster.
The course will include a midterm and final, one shorter paper (@five pages) and one researched paper (12-15 pages.) There will also be response papers along the way and the research paper will include a personal component. Writing intensive. Cross-listed with Women's Studies.
HFS 245H – History of Women in Sport
4 semester hours
Jurewicz, Sarah
Historical Perspectives in Women in Sport studies the development of sport from early religious ritual to a modern corporate model in western society. The genesis and development of recreation, sport, and exercise for women has been influenced by religion, medicine, economics, politics, and ideology. The intersection of gender, race, and socioeconomic class for women of color is examined, as is the struggle by women for admission in the Olympics. Sport has served as a historical site for feminist transformation and the development of alternative western sport forms. Women have "dared to compete". The struggle of women to gain entry into sport is both sad and inspirational. Class structure includes short lectures, videos, small group discussion, and analytical minute papers. Students write a sport autobiography, conduct a short cross generation sport interview, and study a related topic of interest in depth.
HIST 111H – Medieval Europe
4 semester hours
Livingstone, Amy
Prerequisite: FYS Only – Advising Section Linked on Tuesdays Noon -1:00
The origins of medieval Europe are grounded in the world of Late Antiquity. This class begins with the last of the Western Roman Emperors by surveying the "barbarian" kingdoms that had been created in the fourth and fifth centuries. Essential to understanding Europe is the relationship between East and West. Starting with a dominant Byzantium in the early part of our course, we'll examine ups and downs in the East/West relationship in the ninth and early twelfth centuries and their antagonistic relationship after 1204 and the sack of Constantinople. Essential to this story are the lives of women and religious minorities, such as Jews, Muslims, and pagans. Those stories will be woven in with the traditional highlights of the Middle Ages, such as Charlemagne's ascension as Holy Roman Emperor, the Viking raids throughout Europe, the rise of the Normans and the conquest of England, the reform papacy and the Crusades, and the beginning of the Renaissance. Medieval Europe changed drastically over the thousand years studied in this course, and we will attempt to both understand the events and processes that contributed to that change as well as the shape of Europe at the end of our period. This course counts toward the PAST minor.

SILSBEE — Eleven of the 12 Republicans vying to replace Steve Stockman in the U.S. House sat on a high school auditorium stage Monday evening, answering questions about health care, taxes and government regulation.
About halfway through the two-hour forum, one candidate, former Seabrook Mayor Robin Riley, approached the microphone to share his thoughts on immigration.
"You're hearing the same from most of the candidates," Riley said. "I don't want to repeat, but I will say I agree with everything that's been stated."
The remark underscored the challenge facing the 12 Republicans who hope to represent the 36th Congressional District, which includes portions of southeast Texas and Houston. A runoff is all but certain. Most of the candidates entered the race in mid-December, after Stockman surprised many by opting to challenge U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican primary rather than run for re-election. With less than three months between Stockman's announcement and the March 4 primary election, the candidates have largely framed their positions in the same broad strokes while highlighting their backgrounds to argue that they are best equipped to end President Obama's health care reform, the race's leading issue.
"Folks, it's going to take a dentist to pull the teeth out of Obamacare, and I promise I will be that dentist," said Brian Babin, a former mayor of Woodville.
Two other candidates, Doug Centilli and Phil Fitzgerald, touted their work in government as valuable training for working with Congress.
"I think I know Obamacare better than just about anybody, and I know how bad that process is," said Centilli, a former chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands.
Fitzgerald, a small-business owner, pointed to his years as Liberty County judge to argue that he can represent the district more effectively.
"You've heard us. We pretty much have all the same answers and the same concerns," Fitzgerald said. "But I think this office is more than that. I think a congressman also is very important in what he can contribute at the local level."
The other candidates in the race are former Nassau Bay City Councilman John Amdur; El Lago health care consultant Jim Engstrand; high school teacher and former banker Pat Kasprzak, of Crosby; former Pasadena Mayor John Manlove; Lumberton lawyer Chuck Meyer; former Seabrook City Councilman Kim Morrell; Webster insurance agent Dave Norman; and Houston mortgage banker Ben Streusand. Babin won the straw poll held by the Hardin County Republican Women following the forum on Monday.
Manlove was the only candidate not at Monday's forum, though he has been actively campaigning. Last month, the Houston Chronicle endorsed him in the race.
The winner of the GOP primary will face Democrat Michael Cole and candidates from the Libertarian and Green parties along with an independent candidate.
Actual policy differences among the GOP candidates that emerged at Monday's forum were narrow.
On immigration, all of the candidates advocated for a dramatic increase in resources to protect the border, though they differed on the finer details.
"We need to use drones, use fences, use the Border Patrol and law enforcement to end the lawlessness on the border and make everyone come through approved checkpoints legally," Streusand said, echoing most of his primary opponents.
But Engstrand said Texans should be wary of drones on the border.
"If you think the NSA did something wrong with tapping your phones, imagine what they could do hovering over your house," Engstrand said.
Amdur countered that the border is too large for authorities to ignore the value drones can provide in boosting surveillance.
"We need drones in the air. We don't need drones spying on us," Amdur said.
Morrell agreed that using drones on the border made sense, and added that Republicans needed to block any efforts to allow citizenship for immigrants who are in the country illegally.
"No amnesty because I don't want the Democrats getting any more voters," Morrell said. "That's what this is about."
Meyer said the border states should police the border themselves and get federal block grants to fund their endeavors.
"People in New Jersey, people in North Dakota really don't understand this issue," Meyer said.
Kasprzak advocated more of a kitchen-sink approach, calling for drones and increased military and law enforcement presence. She also proposed a novel reassignment of the TSA's work force.
"We have numerous TSA agents at (George Bush) Intercontinental Airport doing nothing but standing around. … Let's put some of those people down on the border building a fence," Kasprzak said.
The candidates debated whether Republicans should try to impeach Obama, and most of them argued that he deserved impeachment.
"There's probably no more impeachable offense than … how he is arbitrarily changing the law, with no regard to how the American people are affected," Norman said.
Engstrand said his first act as congressman would be filing impeachment charges against Obama.
"I call him affectionately 'the tyrant in the White House,'" Engstrand said.
Others questioned whether pursuing impeachment was a wise use of resources, given that Democrats control the Senate.
"It's not going to happen unless we have both chambers of Congress," Babin said. "We're going to have to wait this man out for two more years, folks."
Near the end of the forum, candidates were asked how they would represent a district that includes part of urban Harris County and stretches across several rural counties. While some candidates spoke about the importance of balancing the needs of the district's urban and rural residents, Meyer took a different approach.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to represent southeast Texas in Washington, D.C. I don't want to represent Harris County," Meyer said. "Harris County is in the district, unfortunately, but they have plenty of representatives there to represent that part of the district."

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 8, 2007.
That would be rough going 1-8.
Ah, it's not so bad once you get used to it like I have.
I'm still hurting from my 1-8, 2-7 start. With standings separated by 1 or 2 games, that makes a big difference.
We both started out hurting. What some of you are experiencing now with injuries and whatnot, others of us had to deal with earlier on.
Indeed. Just for sh**s and giggles, let's look at the race going into this week with two weeks left. Only 6 teams of 16 get in...4 good managers are going to be left out. Possibly the two time defending champ #1 P fan. Wart & Jammer , two other very good managers are already probably out in all likelihood. Winless O Dre .5 Tater 5.5 Max 6.5 Shark 7 Ralph 9.5 Slip 11.5 Webz 12 Motown 14 #1Pfan 15 Now, keep in mind anything can and has happened. Already there are some strange starts this week. But on paper... Winless and Dre are pretty much the only teams we know are going to the Dance for sure based on their leads. Dre has his hands full with Tater and then he gets to play Pastor (I doubt I'll set my lineup this week). Winless faces Motown fighting for his pride and Wart...another team who may be on the wrong end. This could go either way. The fight here is for first place.That being said, while the bye DOES matter, we won't know who has the tougher bracket until we see who fills out the other seeds. Tater's in good shape...but wait...look at the schedule. Dre & Webz. Two great teams who present matchup hell for Tater. I Could be on the wrong end of blowouts. I'm just hoping to keep those close and go to the dance. I've got 6 games on the 7th place team so there is a bit of cushion. A bit. Max.This team has been on fire. Came back from the dead like Tater and Slippy. A Phoenix rising from the ashes.Tough schedule too. Jammer and #1 P fan. He's in 4th place so a few teams need to pass him. Shark. A former power. Yao where are you? Well, at least GWall is back. Shark has plummeted, but a potentially easy last game really boosts him. Wait...if Low sets his lineup look out...Shark won't feast and could miss the dance. If two teams pass him... Ralph. He attributes his fortune to his recent acquisition of Darko, but last weeks 8-1 blowout against Shark was huge for Ralph. Slippy is right on his tail though. Slippy. Did anyone notice that this guy changed his name to a Slippy name and not a Tater name as soon as he got good this week. So everyone thought I was the one doing crappy. What a chump! His team, when healthy, like now is dangerous. Stupidly, I always root for him though. He's only 2 games behind the last playoff spot. Loanshark and 16 mile. They could give himm trouble...or not. Webz. Finishes with Tater then Wart. Will Webz actually not get in? Hard to imagine. He took a chance on getting Arenas when Jammer dropped him. At the time it looked like he could afford it. Will it cost him a chance to win? If he gets in and Arenas plays, He's going to be VERY tough. I tried to grab Arenas when I sucked but Webz had a higher priority by one. Did that save my season? I keep thinking Webz will find a way...but I thought that for myself in hockey this year too. Just missed. Motown. My first pal on the forum and the man who taught me the ropes of fantasy basketball. Mr. Trash talker himself. He has Winless and Jammer remaining and lots of teams to pass. I'm thinking not this year my good friend. I'd now like to officially return your "Welcome to the big leagues", comment. (I may end up eating them). #1Pfan. This guy had a super easy schedule. Played Low, Himat, and 16 mile twice. Those guys usually don't even set their lineups. Will Low give him a free pass and allow him to storm back in? Who knows. If not, don't be surprised if he tries to sell you a bridge to improve his team. He just may. He got Kobe from Himat for a wounded Wade. I'm still scratching my head over how Himat makes a trade but doesn't set his lineup. If Brand comes back he #1 could still win this thing. Anything can happen and some of these underdogs could come up big as spoilers. We will see. I'd like to say it's been a fun season, but I can't. I will say it's been a challenge with so many teams. My goal at the outset was to remain competitive. I was. Now, I'd really like to make it to the dance. Winning a round is the furthest thing from my mind. Well, that's all folks. I honestly believe at least 9 of the teams still have a chance. It's been that crazy. Oh, and if I've offended anyone...uhmm..well...too bad. That was not my intent. I just speak my mind and was trying to give a run down of the playoff race from my perspective. Peace.
Great job Mashed man! I need big wins to get in but my guys are gonna fall short. I'm going to overplay my starters and talk about how you need to earn it to play with the big boys.
Only the 1st 6 get in? I was hoping it was 8. Anything can happen. I am very much vulnerable. Note out to Himat and Low. I just set my linups for the rest of the week, only took a couple of mins. BTW - thanks for the writeup.
Nice preview Tater. I'm in deep trouble and I'm not very optimistic about making the playoffs. Next week the 4 guys ahead of me in the standings all play teams 10th or worse, while I get yes... Tater. Bad thing is, my strong cats are your strong cats as well. My destiny is in your hands, can you go on a vacation or something. I've had to resort to plugging my lineup with waiver guys all this week, firstly to give myself a chance, but secondly because Warthog had like 9 or 10 extra games on me or something ridiculous! Even after all these extra pickups I'll be lucky to match him for games played this week. I need at least a 7-2 to have a crack next week and even then I'll need a 6-3 or something against you Tater. Not good. I wouldn't put it all on my Arenas stashing. I did lose Marbury and Nene to season ending injuries, then my hot waiver pickup last week Marcus Banks goes down when primed to smoke it. You're right about #1's schedule, that would have been nice to have. But enough excuses, we'll see what happens. At least I'll win the most moves trophy. Props to the guys who have fought back this season - Max, Slippy and Tater. Outstanding work. I think this is where I'd like to play in a 2nd league. 1 just isn't enough (scrubs league excluded) I'm thinking we should organise a keeper league for next season.
My team has picked the wrong time to not play well. The last two weeks have not been pretty and this week is starting out the same way. It is going to be a fight to keep my 1 seed.
Good write up Tater...I am looking to take over the number one spot this weekend despite having my hands full with your team...
How does a keeper league work? Do you keep going with the same team and draft placement depends on record as in the real game? I may be open to that but only if the no teams were cut down from 16. Even 14 I think I could live with.
I've never done one myself, maybe someone out there has and could lend some insight, but the gist of it is the league continues year after year and you get to keep a number of players from the year before. What that is set at is open to interpretation but I think its usually between 2-4 players. Then the draft order would be the reverse of the finishing positions from the year before. Which 2 or 3 players you choose to carry over is one of the best things about it, because you have to make decisions that affect your team in years to come. Do you keep a young guy who will be a stud in a couple of years or a guy who will produce for you now? eg. Bynum or Gasol? Durant or Ray Allen? That kind of thing. I was thinking about a keeper league as well because most of the same guys play here every year, it seems like a logical thing to do. We could still play in the yearly leagues as well. Just seems like another cool thing to be a part of. Something to discuss in the off-season anyhow.
Sounds good. Like you said we can pick this up over the summer and see what it takes to get it going. We have been doing the adv league for what 3 years now? I have played for the last 2 so we know the type of guys that will stick with it.
I'd be down for a keeper league. I've never been in one before and am curious to try one out. If we were playing in a keeper league, there's no way I'd have dropped Arenas!
that keeper league concept sounds really good- count me in as well!
A keeper league sounds good to me as well. I think you get a better understanding of the game and learn how to be a real GM. If you suck like Millen then your team will never be decent and always in the lottery while the good GM's will be in the thick of things every year. I think a keeper league makes trades of franchise players more important.
Only a major miracle can help me into the Playoffs now. I'm only a couple of games back but considering the 3 teams ahead of me play the bottom 3 teams in the league this week, its near an impossibility. I'm still at a loss as to what exactly went wrong but its probably a number of things. I guess I'll just focus on the sleeper league now. It would be funny to face Motown in the Consolation bracket final. Actually, no, it wouldn't...
Yeah, this is crazy. It ticks me off to no end that some teams (through luck and no fault of their own) got to play the no lineup setters (who did this through TOTAL fault of their own) at least twice. They will slide in while I'm in 3rd place and could still get knocked out (although unlikely) because others behind me get a free ride. You're screwed for sure, Webz. Those teams ahead of you will all win at least 7-2. Even if you beat me 9-0 you won't pass them. F*** you guys who say you forgot or just gave up. You ruined it for lots of people who tried really hard and tried to have fun. You let us all down and all you cared about was yourselves. GROW UP. Yeah, it's only a game. Thanks for spoiling it. Selfish Jerks!!! I expect that kind of crap from a public league.
Not much to say after that. Ditto
That is absolutely horrible!!! This is advanced league. Anyone who didn't set their lineups had no excuse at all. They could have been in novice "learning" how to set their lineups. I would be furious too. I mean how lame do you have to be to play in Advanced and then do the MOST irresponsible thing you can do in a Fantasy League. Hell, I'm in last place in Novice but I set my lineups religiously. I have a role in my league to fulfill even if it isn't winning. I think next year, no Advanced for those non line-up setters. Really, beyond the pale.

Any guesses on this helmet? I'm thinking a DP '96 but would like a second opnion.
Any guesses on this helmet? I'm thinking a DP '96 but would like a second opnion.
WEll it definetly isn't a 97. It doesnt quite look like a 95 so I'll have to agree with you when you say 96.
It definatly looks like a 95 or 96 DP.
It is too nice for a 97.
If your looking into buying it, ask the seller what the copyright date stamped on the back left corner of the helmet is and what color the inside is, some 95's are white viynl painted green meaning the inside will be white.
Looks just like my '96 (except I repainted mine..he he!).
DP '96...no doubt about it.
i have 2 95 don posts... 1 is white inside while the other is green... the helmet posted is either that or a 96
I'll have to agree, it's a 96.
Yep, i had a DP96 and it looked exactly like it.

So what is the purpose?taste? Super powers?
Thought that maybe some background from the National Library of Medicine / National Institutes of Heath may shed some light. tonsilitis remedie ?
Has anyone on here tasted this concoction yet? :cheer: Just curious if it tastes good, or if it is something you have to choke down like wheatgrass juice because it is supposed to be healthy :-P
The way were making it gives Green Tea a minty taste. But leaves a slight waxy residue on the teeth. Not a bad concoction at all, at least to me. Have had many an over the counter medication that were far harder to swallow.
We don't use the Tincture of Propolis. We boil propolis with water and use the resulting liquid 1 teaspoonful to a cup of Green Tea. What is the consistency like after you boil it ? Is it like peanut butter, or what ? I wonder too, which way is better for preserving its beneficial properties ?

I realize this seems like a light lunch, and it is. Pierce has been having a slight flare-up of reflux and it's making his tummy feel bad. He's not eating much as a result. I've been trying different things in his lunches to try to get his appetite going. I mean, how can you resist a chocolate covered strawberry?!?
For those of you who guessed Dr. Seuss on Friday's post, you were correct! And for the two of you who guessed I Wish that I Had Duck Feet - great job, you got it!!

Our Forum For Customer Experience Professionals in Los Angeles is just four weeks away — and we have some exciting news!
First, our final lineup of external speakers is confirmed. All of our main-stage speakers are from companies featured in our new book, Outside In — some of them are even the subjects of case studies in the book.
Many of you have asked us to feature more business-to-business content in our events, so in response, we have both Randy Pond, EVP of operations, processes, and systems at Cisco Systems, and John Taschek, VP Mof market strategy at salesforce.com. Both companies are in the book, and Randy is the executive sponsor of the program that won one of our 2012 Voice Of The Customer Awards.
In addition to Randy and John, we have Dr. Jim Merlino, the chief experience officer for Cleveland Clinic, a world-famous, $6 billion healthcare provider. The work he is doing is as applicable to organizations outside of healthcare as it is relevant to all of us who have ever been (or will ever be) patients.
We're also excited about our main-stage panel on building a customer-centric culture with Nancy Fratzke of US Cellular and Kelly Harper of BMO Financial Group. Transforming a culture is one of the hardest things any of us will do, and both of these panelists have successfully done it.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
At the very least, pay someone to find out what's wrong and then do your own work to fix it...that's what I would do. I would not expose a head I just bought to the same situation that caused the old one to warp.
|Thank you sailor for the breath of fresh air, I can be quite undiplomatic at times.
Hey there, sorry this discussion went down hill so fast, two people having a bad day can result in curt answers & no progress....
You're right that white smoke is usually coolant related, we aren't there to actually see/smell it & checking that closely is important since SOME have confused oil & coolant smoke in the past. "Sweet" odor instead of burnt oil being the giveaway....
B4 going further, I'd pull the plugs and see if there is evidence of coolant getting into one or more cylinders. (nice shiny steam cleaned can generally be seen if that happens)
The "new" head could be at fault, there could be a leak at the gasket, your guess of coolant still being in the exhaust is STILL a possibility besides the normal condensation since two miles isn't enough to clean things out...
One typical issue that LOOKS like overheating is when only the high speed fan functions. In that case the temp gauge gets near the red B4 it even kicks on to help cooling. (Lots of threads on THAT issue)
'Fraid that at this point you're starting from scratch again to diagnose whatever faults existed B4 you bought it.
Did you by chance have a straight edge available to check the head & block for flatness?
And by the way, if it turns out the new head has issues, you aren't the first that happened to. I can remember changing a head in a LeCar (a PITA BTW) and the used head I was given to install was worse than the one I removed originally!
Good thing I wasn't working Flat Rate at the time....
You ask for 'headsonly' facts but obviously that has not cured your problem. SO........only thing left for you is you've done your work incorrectly OR, you have NOT pursued all the rest. Getting mad will not resolve that. No one called you names but we can only base judgements on facts laid out as well as the general tone of that layout.
Yes, the block can crack, ALL blocks can crack from overheat, if as well read as you say then you'd've known that years ago. Some are more susceptible than others but they ALL can, ALL makes. Basic physics. Don't even have to see one to know.
If motor starts up still smoking you could possible pull plugs and see if one has any antifreeze residue on it. Does smoke smell sweet like antifreeze? If not running antifreeze then you can't tell. If you really oiled up the motor parts like I do then motor will burn residual oil for the first 5 minutes but go away after that, but smell is detectable as oil. Any water in the oil? An indicator but not absolutely necessary. I've seen water burn only in chamber and no water in oil or oil in water, depends on location and severity of the crack. Burning water only could be faulty head gasket only too, the block STILL could be good. If you are positive of your skills though then I lean toward crack in block.
This is why I will NEVER buy an overheated car regardless of the cost, simply way too many potential worms there.............you will NEVER be told truly how hot it REALLY got. You are simply one of many, many more who have done this and fallen into same pit, if well read you would have known that too. It's all over the net in 5000+ locations, different models and cars each. All have the same connecting problem, 'I fixed blown gasket, why doesn't it run right?'
Once again, nothing personal, just the facts. No insult intended. Good luck.
We can only give as much advice as we have info to go on, as stated.
We don't know why the car overheated in the first place, as stated.
You have to keep in mind that these types of thread pop up regularly and the people posting them have wildly varying automotive experience. The more info you can provide, the more we can get a feel for just how much you know, what you've already tried and then we can direct you towards what the next steps should be.
Not being face to face is a real downfall of the internet. But we try our hardest to make it work well.
But as stated, really need more info to give any reasonable course of action here.
99.5% of the time the head has nothing to do with the overheat, rather it cracks as a RESULT of the overheat.
So you fixed the head possibly, you still have to fix the overheating problem which is most likely a separate issue. If you are a loss then so are we, there are textbooks written on what needs to happen to stop overheating, you have apparently never read one since you give no mention of whether rest of system working or not here. Meaning you might not even have enough water in the motor, we cannot know based on your text.
Strongly suggest you cull the threads here for the various causes, quite frankly we don't have a week of time to instruct you fully.
Parts that must be working correctly are radiator, fans and all their controls (a book all by itself), water pump, all hoses, and system must be properly pressurized. Other reasons to but more far-fetched. You actually should have had all that done before going into the motor.........now you risk breaking new parts. Entirely possible too you may have yanked a head that didn't need to be yanked.
Good luck, you'll need it.
|OK so I ordered head from headsonly and put it in today put it all together, and white smoking so I gave it the benefit of doubt and ran it just to make sure it wasnt coolant in the muffler. I drove it around for a couple of miles and it started to over heat so I parked it and now I am really at a loss. Tommorow I will do compression and a leakdown.Has anyone ever seen a cracked block on these? I dont see signs were it has dropped a valve before.
|Thanks for your help decided to go with the head from headsonly will repost with results.
|Better to get new seat pressed in tighter AND the seat edge rolling. You can roll seat and seat still be loose on sides, won't hold as well by a longshot.

Training improves cognitive abilities of older adults
Training sessions for 2 hours a week for 5 weeks improved the memory, concentration and problem solving skills of healthy independent adults 65 years and older who participated in the nation's largest study of cognitive training. The training not only improved participants' cognitive abilities, but the improvement persisted for 2 years after the training, according to initial findings from the multi-site trial of Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly, or ACTIVE.*
"The trial was highly successful in showing that we can, at least in the laboratory, improve certain thinking and reasoning abilities in older people," says Richard M. Suzman, Ph.D., Associate Director for the Behavioral and Social Research Program at the National Institute on Aging (NIA). "The findings here were powerful and very specific. Although they did not appear to make any real change in the actual, daily activities of the participants, I think we can build on these results to see how training ultimately might be applied to tasks that older people do everyday, such as using medication or handling finances. This intervention research, aimed at helping healthy older people maintain cognitive status as they age, is an increasingly high priority."
The study, published in the November 13, 2002, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association , was funded by the NIA and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), two components of the National Institutes of Health at the Department of Health and Human Services.
According to Dr. Patricia A. Grady, Director of the NINR, "The ACTIVE trial provides encouraging preliminary findings that we may be able to conserve or improve some cognitive abilities in older adults not currently having problems in these areas. How this training may affect those who later experience cognitive deficits is a tantalizing question waiting to be answered."
The study looked at several types of cognitive training and then assessed, in the laboratory and in "real world" measures, whether the training was effective. At the outset, certified trainers conducted 10 sessions of 60 to 75 minutes over a 5 to 6 week period. The 2,802 participants were divided into four groups -- three groups that received either memory training, reasoning training, or speed of processing training, and a fourth group that received no training. The three types of training were chosen because they showed the most promise in small laboratory studies and were related to tasks of daily living such as telephone use, shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, medication use, and personal finances. For all three groups, the training focused on developing strategies as well as providing exercises using these new strategies. All participants were assessed prior to training, immediately after training, and again 1 and 2 years later.
Those in the memory-training group were taught strategies for remembering word lists and sequences of items, text material, and main ideas and details of stories. Participants in the reasoning group were taught how to solve problems that follow patterns. Such strategies can be used in tasks such as reading a bus schedule or filling out an order sheet. Speed of processing training focused on the ability to identify and locate visual information quickly for use in tasks such as looking up a phone number, finding information on medicine bottles, and responding appropriately to traffic signs.
Immediately following the 5-week training period, 87 percent of participants in speed training, 74 percent of participants in reasoning training, and 26 percent of participants in memory training demonstrated reliable improvement on their respective cognitive ability. The training effects continued through 24 months, particularly for the participants who received "booster" training. "The improvements in memory, problem solving, and concentration following training were sizeable," noted Karlene Ball, Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the study's corresponding author. "These roughly counteract the degree of cognitive decline that we would expect to see over a 7- to 14- year period among older people without dementia."
The analysis did not find, however, that participants' improvements in thinking and reasoning also improved their ability to perform everyday tasks like preparing food or handling medications. "Since all participants were living independently, and most were functioning quite well at the outset of the study, it will be interesting to see if those who received training experience less decline in their daily living skills over time," Ball said.
*The Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE), a single-blind clinical trial, tested the effectiveness and durability of three techniques to improve the ability of older people to think and reason. ACTIVE investigators included Karlene Ball, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Alabama at Birmingham and Daniel B. Berch, Ph.D., National Institute on Aging,* Karin F. Helmers, Ph.D., National Institute of Nursing Research; Jared B. Jobe, Ph.D., National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; Mary D.

We are going slow as well. So far the only real socialization Zoe gets outside of the family is watching people from the car. I take her to pick up the kids, to drop them off places and to get fast food so she gets to "see" people. She just had her third set of shots so we will be starting walks in the neighborhood soon.
She is 3 months now and she also gets a little Freaked out by low flying planes. Hanging out in the backyard she hears lots of noises from loud cars and motorcycles as well as people passing by.
I am a little worried I haven't done enough to socialize her but there are a lot of dogs around here and I didn't want to risk it before her shots.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Well yep I don't screw around with Parvo! I would just wait till her last shot which is due fairly soon anyway. You already know she's pretty good in the people arena.
I did the Leerburgh thing with my guy. Got him at 7 months and when company came over I found he had a serious issue with "strangers"! Maybe he was a bit less than a year? Anyway no problem today he's safe in public and has no issues with kids (never unsupervised around children) he has met a few and no problems. He's still not a big fan of company.
Slow down a little bit and enjoy your dog.
Thank you again for your replies... I should say the trembling was more from the plane (when I said low, I mean like coming in for a landing low!) then anything else, but I do agree.. I may frequent less busy areas first.
We had to go to my dad's work building after hours and she was allowed to come in off leash and she took everything like a pro, even the elevator! I'm thinking pick one thing at a time, in this case environment with only 1 or 2 strangers, instead of new place, new people new everything all at once!.
I'm just nervous about walking around my neighborhood quite yet because she's only had her first set of shots (She's due Thursday for her second round) and we have quite a few dogs around here. Whereas my dad's workplace is a National Defense building and you're almost guaranteed no dogs have been there :P Only one that goes is a service dog and that's clear on the other side of the building.
Well stuff gets boring when everyone agrees! Sooo I think your moving to fast still. Not wrong but to fast. I'd walk my puppy around my neighborhood just letting him observe stuff. If he looks comfortable and someone wants to pet him fine. Then after a couple of weeks of that I'd move to step it up.
That "first she was trembling like a leaf" and then was fine means you caught a break! Had you waited maybe there would have been no "trembling?"
puppy development stages | Wonder Puppy
Dog Club, Critical periods in your puppyâs psychological growth
I'm certainly not an expert but my go slow approach paid off for me big time with my GSD with his people issues.
didn't say go into the grocery . I enter one set do a sharp turn around and exit the other door , in and out often being side by side .
it works out well because you don't linger and you don't encounter dogs-behaving-badly , and the dog isn't pounced on by admirers. People tend to behave more normally , pre-occupied with the day to day of their own lives , than they do at the petsmarty .

there is more to it than just distracting and getting focus , the dog has to deal .
next time you go , visit the same place but this time when the door opens you walk in , head for the nearest exit , or if there is no entry foyer , then do an about turn and come right back out.
the motion is exciting and the dog doesn't focus on what it is uncomfortable with, plus you have the focus and obedience , which you reward , win win win.
how old is the pup.
seems like there is some sensitivity
I tell the dog, "Oh, the magic doors." and then go over and sit on the bench. Watch the world go by for a few minutes, and maybe meet a person and head off.
At some point down the road, usually before they are too old for the 10.99 puppy bath and brush, < 6 months, we will go through the magic doors at PetsMart a few times, and they get used to them.
It is ok for a puppy to startle, as long as the pup recovers relatively quickly -- he realizes that you aren't freaked out by the doors and he trusts you, so he gets over it. If they are eating, they are probably not too freaked out. Kind of a rule of thumb.
I would continue doing what you are doing .
You can customize your program to what you need and want .
"classes" tend to have formats and timelines , whether the dog is ready or not , and often too much wild play with the other pups .
|Hm not sure how to edit but I meant to say 10 weeks... not 11
Thanks for the answers guys!
She's young yet, almost 11 weeks (She's a Shiloh Shepherd if that makes any difference in socialization). Am I maybe starting a little too young? People wanted to come up and pet her all the time, but I asked them to just allow her to approach them, if she did then fine but if not, to just let her be as this is new to her and she seemed much more interested in using her little nose as people walked by as opposed to greeting and what not.
We plan on starting some puppy social classes in the next week or so, should I start with that and gradually build up to bigger experiences, or should I just kind of go along with her in situations I know are safe and act like it's not a big deal while she works things out?
This is only my second puppy... and I made a lot of mistakes with our old guy... I didn't socialize him nearly enough, but he had the patience with me to allow me to figure things out, and by the end, he was everything I could have asked for... Went through **** and back though and am trying to avoid that this time!
|Yup if the dog is eating youre probably ok. Listen to carmen regarding the keeping the pup moving thing.

Canisius women's basketball coach Terry Zeh has announced the hiring of Cetera Washington as an assistant coach and Logan Fletcher as a graduate assistant. Washington was comes to Canisius after spending time at Michigan State and Fletcher was recently on the women's basketball staff at SUNY Buffalo State.
"We are very excited for Cetera and Logan to join the Canisius family," Zeh said. "Logan brings a tremendous work ethic and passion for the game of basketball.
"Cetera's playing and coaching experience at Michigan State will be a great addition to our program. Her positive attitude and passion for the game of basketball is infectious."
A 2011 graduate of Michigan State University, Washington has spent the past two seasons as a graduate assistant with the Spartans after a four-year playing career in East Lansing, Mich. As a graduate assistant, Washington helped with recruiting, scouting and player development. She has also worked as a counselor at Michigan State's summer camp as well as at Lansing Community College.
A team captain as a senior and three-time winner of the program's Spartan Hustle Award, Washington appeared in 135 career games and was named the program's Most Improved Player after her sophomore season.
Washington, a native of Kalamazoo, Mich. set career highs as a senior in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and minutes per game. Washington appeared in three NCAA Tournaments (including one Sweet 16) and also played in the championship game of the 2008 WNIT as a freshman. The Spartans also qualified for the NCAA Tournament in each of her two seasons as a graduate assistant.
At Buffalo State, Fletcher was responsible for the breakdown of game film as well as the exchange of game film with opponents. Fletcher assisted in practice planning and game coaching with the Bengals. Buffalo State won the 2011-12 SUNYAC regular-season championship and a program-record 25 games.
Prior to his time at Buffalo State, Fletcher was the director of basketball operations at Herkimer County Community College where he helped with team travel, video scouting and practice planning. Fletcher also has served as a counselor at Camp Takajo where he developed and implemented a summer-long basketball daily skills program for more than 70 children. He coached four different travel teams at various tournaments.
Washington replaces Jacey Brooks, who is now an assistant coach at Bowling Green State University.

Nurse Shark Range
Fast Facts
- Type:
- Fish
- Diet:
- Carnivore
- Average life span in captivity:
- Up to 25 years
- Size:
- 7.5 to 9.75 ft (2.2 to 3 m)
- Weight:
- 200 to 330 lbs (90 to 150 kg)
- Group name:
- School or shoal
- Did you know?
- Nurse sharks are nocturnal and will often rest on the sea floor during the day in groups of up to 40 sharks, sometimes piled on top of each other.
- Relative:
- Size relative to a 6-ft (2-m) man
Please add a "relative" entry to your dictionary.
The scientific name for the nurse shark sounds like something Bilbo Baggins might have said to summon elves to his rescue: Ginglymostoma cirratum. Actually the name is a mix of Greek and Latin and means "curled, hinged mouth" to describe this shark's somewhat puckered appearance.
The origin of the name "nurse shark" is unclear. It may come from the sucking sound they make when hunting for prey in the sand, which vaguely resembles that of a nursing baby. Or it may derive from an archaic word, nusse, meaning cat shark. The most likely theory though is that the name comes from the Old English word for sea-floor shark: hurse.
Nurse sharks are slow-moving bottom-dwellers and are, for the most part, harmless to humans. However, they can be huge—up to 14 feet (4.3 meters)—and have very strong jaws filled with thousands of tiny, serrated teeth, and will bite defensively if stepped on or bothered by divers who assume they're docile.
They use their strong jaws to crush and eat shellfish and even coral, but prefer to dine on fish, shrimp, and squid. They are gray-brown and have distinctive tail fins that can be up to one-fourth their total length. Unlike most other sharks, nurses are smooth to the touch.
Nurse sharks are found in the warm, shallow waters of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans. They are abundant throughout their range and have no special conservation status, although the closeness of their habit to human activities is putting pressure on the species.

"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"The textured paper makes these special and the clean design is perfect for my business which doesn't have a logo yet. Love them!"
"The design and quality of these stylish calling cards is excellent. Different than anything else that you see and versatile to use as calling cards or to include on a gift box. Interesting to look at and modern layout. And the Tinyprint design people were very helpful when I made editing requests. Will certainly reorder!"

Pure has a highly enviable history of creating cracking little DAB radios. The British company has been churning them out for years now and has lead the way for design and ease of use the whole time. More recently its ventured further afield with iPod docks and internet radios, with mixed success. The Pure Contour 100Di, however, sees the company getting things spot on once again.
Costing just shy of £100, this compact radio and iPod dock is widely available from high street stores as well as online.
Design and Hardware
The Pure Contour 100Di may look like a number of larger oviform iPod docks, such as the Monitor Audio i-deck 200 http://www.trustedreviews.com/monitor-audio-i-deck-200_Portable-Audio_review but is in fact a more compact device with dimensions of 174 x 308 x 145mm - ideal for a bedside table or kitchen worktop. It's relatively lightweight too (2.7Kg), though this isn't necessarily a good sign for an audio product, where weight tends to correspond to good sound quality.
We like the styling of the Contour 100Di. The squashed hemisphere is finished in black cloth on the front and black plastic on the back with a strip of silver-painted plastic bisecting them. Inset into this strip are the controls, while the front houses a screen and the flip out iPod dock. The look is smart and simple, with a clear appreciation of how to make something look and feel good despite the use of less then premium materials – the metal, wood and glass of £200-£300 docks aren't present here, with plastic used throughout.
Round the back is a proper telescopic aerial that extends to around 45cm, and folds away into a plastic clip when not needed. Below it are the various connections. On the right is the power socket, a headphone jack, line input jack for plugging in an alternative sound source, and miniUSB port that's for service purposes (applying firmware upgrades and such) – you shouldn't need ever use this. Above this lot is the bass port for the speaker.
Turning our attention to the front, it houses the aforementioned screen and iPod dock, above which is a small rubber nubbin which is used to support your iDevices when plugged into the dock. This does mess with the look of the device a little, breaking up the seamless expanse of the black cloth, but it's not all that noticeable in day to day use.
The dock itself is a work of some ingenuity. Push in the the area marked by the raised dots and the dock folds away into the chassis, leaving a plain silver plate. Press the dots again and the dock flips open. Sadly the mechanism only opens automatically with a simple tap, whereas closing it requires you to push the whole mechanism back inside manually to hide it. It's a bit awkward to do, so we suspect few people will actually bother ever hiding it away once deployed for the first time, but at least the option's there.
An even nicer touch is that the docking area is wide enough that iPads can be docked, along with all current iPods and iPhones (bar the iPod shuffle), without the need for dock adapters – all the devices are supported by that little rubber nubbin. The dock is rather dwarfed by an iPad but it's held reasonably secure.
Below the dock sits the monochrome (yellow on black) LCD display, which features seven 14-segment characters and a number of feature specific logos such as the source and signal strength. It's not the best display we've seen, nor even the best Pure display we've seen, with contrast dropping dramatically when viewed from an angle. In fact, it does fail our pillow test wherein we found it couldn't be read when on a bedside table with us resting head-on-pillow. It's not a disaster, as you should be able to angle the device to better see the display (or sit up to check the time), but it's a shame you have to. At least the characters are just about large enough to read from across a large room.
I can't help but notice that the 200i airplay has finally appeared, supposedly John Lewis have them for sale. Any chance of a review?
