First off, I said give them a chance, not immediately accept it. Second, the movies didn't even cover all of the Star Wars events--even after the sixth movie, there were some books that covered aftermath events and stuff. For instance, did you know that Han and Leia had Jedi kids?

did anybody had the same experience:
some simple del objects to delay bangs stopped working in my patch the bang went through without any delay… typing in a new default delay length like "del 3000" did not help, after deleting the object and putting it new in the patcher the effect went away?
but i have so many dels in my patcher i do not want to set up them all new.
anyone with the same issue?
thanks, joa
I've experienced this a couple of times as well. Replacing the object solved it as well. I don't know how to solve it in another way, maybe look in the textfile if the delaytime is still there?
Oh and by the way, when I use the debugger to go through my patch stepwise, it won't pass a delay object, it will do something else and doesn't come back to the delay. why..?
And something else…In my patch there were suddenly going 4-5 lines to the same input of a patcher I put in…very very strange.
Hey ej,
Your completely right, I must have made that mistake as well. I thought you could only set the delaytime in the right inlet, or as an argument in the object itself.
Problem solved :)

Since about Max 2.5.7 if you send an int to delay's left inlet… guess what? Like so many objects, it changes the main parameter *as well as* triggering the object's standard response. It's probably the first part of this convention that is tripping you up.

Don't get too excited: there's a catch.AdvertisementUpdate: The listing, created as a prank by comedian Joe Stapleton, has sadly been removed from Craigslist.This anonymous Craiglister, posting in the "men seeking women" section from Los Angeles, says he'll take you to see The Dark Knight on one condition: you have to have sex with him. A lot. You'll probably have to do other stuff too. Snacks are on him.AdvertisementHere's the message in its entirety:That's right. I have two tickets for the Dark Knight. Not just any two tickets, either. Tickets for the 12:01am Thursday night (tonight)/Friday morning IMAX showing. And I want one of those tickets to be yours. What a cool first date, right? I grew up sneaking snacks into the movies, and I hated it - so also let's make it a point to go nuts at the snack bar. Obviously, on me. I would insist. :-)All I'm asking is that you be cute (be honest, LOL!), cool, and a good catch. Also, you have to be willing to f*ck me. A lot.Most people are going to write an ad like this and mention how "I expect nothing of you other than the pleasure of your company." Not the case here. You're going to have to f*ck me. Again: maybe a lot. Sorry.WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE DARK F*CKING KNIGHT F*CKING RISES HERE, PEOPLE.I am not giving this ticket away without getting f*cked.Not only are you going to have to f*ck me, but you're also probably going to have to s*ck me, bl*w me, and maybe even l*ck my t**nt. I don't know. I haven't figured all that other stuff out yet, but definitely plan on f*cking me.The length of the f*cking could vary, but I think we'll just say that the MOST I'd require is a f*cking equal to or lesser than the length of the movie. No, not including the trailers and credits - I'm not a CRAZY PERSON! Besides, if I have a lot to drink that night, or accidentally think about my ex-girlfriend, you'll probably only have to f*ck me once. But if, CoinStar willing, I happen to pick up one of those $10 gas station boner pills, we might f*ck for a while.Also, I'm not looking to f*ck a one night stand, so you're probably going to have to hang out for a bit afterwards. I won't call it cuddling, but, ok, yeah let's just call it that. Eye-gazing isn't required, mostly because I'm usually horribly shameful afterwards and eye-contact makes me feel sick to my stomach, but listening sure as hell is: I'm going to need to tell you a lot about my Mom and my ex-girlfriend.Ok, but again, The Dark Knight Rises, 12:01am, IMAX, unlimited trips to the snack bar - and all you have to do is f*ck me. I think I'm taking a beating on this, but what can I say....I just want to give back to another true fan like me.

It seemed a ready-made transition from a constant slog to instant success for Tony Kanaan.
After three seasons of punching above his weight on the track while pulling together sponsorship off it, the Brazilian moved from underfunded KV Racing to powerhouse Chip Ganassi Racing, taking over the storied ride vacated by the retirement of four-time champion Dario Franchitti.
Instant and carefree results, right?
Instead, the 2013 Indianapolis 500 winner and 2004 series champion has struggled on the Verizon IndyCar circuit. Through 12 races, Kanaan is winless and ranked 10th in points (five spots behind last year) with only two podium finishes.
"In a way you can say, 'Damn, I came to the best team, they won all those years, and my first year, they struggle,' " he told USA TODAY Sports. "But you can't judge a team from one year to another because everything changes.
"I'm extremely relieved that I don't have to worry about finding sponsorship. I'm lucky to be associated with a team that's extremely powerful and a sponsor that's been around for 25 years."
Ganassi's Target-sponsored cars have been an IndyCar staple since 1990, amassing 10 championships (including last year with Scott Dixon) and 93 victories. This season, though, has ranked among its slowest starts. Dixon is ninth in points and still seeking his first checkered flag (the latest he's gone in a season without a win since 2005).
Ganassi managing director Mike Hull said the team has struggled to adapt its engineering to a new tire while also acclimating to a new Chevrolet engine (after eight seasons with Honda). Besides Kanaan, the team also has added driver Ryan Briscoe, and the past two races have shown the combination (which also includes fourth driver Charlie Kimball) finally starting to mesh.
At Pocono Raceway, Kanaan led before a late pit stop while Dixon and Briscoe placed in the top five. At Iowa Speedway, Kanaan led 247 of 300 laps before an ill-timed caution bunched the field and allowed Ryan Hunter-Reay to snatch the win with two laps left.
"We've made big leaps," Hull told USA TODAY Sports. "Iowa was certainly a big step forward. It has started to work with all our race cars, including Tony's.
"I don't know that people truly understand how you rebound when you lose a guy like Dario. It's taken a little bit of time to create a positive reaction to that. But we're a big-time team. We're supposed to jump through hoops and make it happen."
Kanaan also believes "there are no excuses," but his aggressive style has been a contrast to the finesse of Franchitti, who retired last November after career-ending injuries in a crash at Houston.
"It's like in any sport when you take one of the biggest players off the team, it will take time to adjust, especially the way it happened," Kanaan said.
Kanaan, though, might have been the optimum replacement for Franchitti, who remains a consultant at Ganassi. They became close friends while working symbiotically at Michael Andretti's team from 2003-07.
Hull said the drivers have similarities despite divergent approaches.
"I think Dario always has been the thinking man's model, trying to tweak the model to make all the small parts right," Hull said. "Tony drives right through it. The way he drives cars and goes through life, he wants everyone to push as aggressively as he does.
"But they rely on everybody to pull their weight in the process. It's not a room full of micromanagers, it's a room of power points that make it happen. They have a lot more in common than people might think. That's the mark of what separates champions. Tony and Dario have very unselfish ways that create ways to win in a very selfish environment. They're very close to each other in how they process information."
There's been more data for Kanaan to analyze recently, too, with Ganassi completing successful tests at Iowa, the Milwaukee Mile and Sebring (Fla.) International Raceway that have provided answers.
Last year, Dixon didn't score a victory until the season's 11th race (while Franchitti went winless) but won four of the final nine. That included Toronto, where IndyCar will head this weekend for a doubleheader, and Kanaan believes his No. 10 Dallara-Chevy could return to the winner's circle for the first time since Indianapolis last year.
"The last two races proved we're back, but to really be back, we have to win," Kanaan said. "My confidence and the team's is much higher. That's how we've developed the whole year. The more we race, better we get."

Balancing Act
This aspiring engineer is doing a balancing act. Actually, balancing acts are going on around you all the time. They're called chemical reactions.
The Back Story
- Chemical reactions explain many of the changes that occur around you. They explain virtually all the changes that occur in you as well. For example, chemical reactions explain how you digest and use the food you eat.
- Chemical reactions are modeled by chemical equations. Chemical equations show which atoms and molecules start a reaction and which atoms and molecules are produced in the reaction.
- Mass is always conserved in chemical reactions. The same atoms are present after the reaction as before the reaction occurred. They just get rearranged in the reaction.
- Because mass is always conserved in chemical reactions, chemical equations must be balanced. Review how to balance them by watching this video:
Can You Apply It?
Balance each of the chemical equations below. The equations represent common, real-world chemical reactions. After balancing the equations, check the reactions at the following link. Identify the reaction represented by each equation.
\begin{align*}Fe+O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2O_3\end{align*}
Fe+O2→Fe2O3 -
\begin{align*}Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow CaO + H_2O\end{align*}
Ca(OH)2→CaO+H2O -
\begin{align*}Al+Ag_2S \rightarrow Ag + Al_2S_3\end{align*}
Al+Ag2S→Ag+Al2S3 -
\begin{align*}MgCl_2+NaOH \rightarrow Mg(OH)_2+NaCl\end{align*}
MgCl2+NaOH→Mg(OH)2+NaCl -
\begin{align*}CH_4 + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O\end{align*}

The 4 Ws To Wellness
Guys, there's an easier, natural, safe, and inexpensive method that not only benefits your health and boosts your immune system, but can also slow the aging process during your quest for the Fountain of Youth.
What is this simple formula?
Water , Walking , Weight Training , Wholesome Foods — in other words, the "4 Ws to Wellness."
While sufficient sleep, a happy disposition, good genes, low stress, and frequently washing your hands are other factors that contribute to optimal health, the 4 Ws will no doubt improve your physique and promote overall wellness.
1- Water
Water promotes health in many ways: it keeps you hydrated, energizes you, aids circulation and excretion, alleviates cold symptoms by thinning mucus in the sinuses and chest, and benefits your skin.Your muscles are made up mostly of water, so consuming adequate amounts daily will keep your biceps looking full, especially after working out. Bring along that water bottle or stop at the water fountain regularly. Drinking before, during and after exercise or sports will prevent dehydration.
Urine color is a reliable gauge by which to measure hydration. Clear or light-yellow urine indicates that you're well-hydrated; dark-yellow urine means you need to drink more water.
2- Walking
A regular walking program is a weight-bearing activity that strengthens bones, is soft on the joints, aids the heart and lungs, reduces body fat, and relieves stress. In sum, a daily brisk walk or long stroll around the block or high school track is both physically and mentally rewarding.It's not difficult to incorporate walking into your day. Take an hour-long lunch walk instead of sitting at your desk at work, or park your car farther away from the entrance in the morning.
A proper diet will do wonders for you...

Wonder when the coach is going to let off the gas.
I remember person Tomey, Bob Wagner, What Happen, & June Jones that built the team to respectability in the WAC. Norm Chow's head is in Chinatown chopping block. All the coaches except What Happen had teams that drew the crowd.
Sorry Hawaii fans, I don't know when we will see Hawaii in the lime lights again.
Norm, recruit some players.
Nice job Hawaii and Over backers!
NOTE: David Carr watches the spread closer than I do… I saw that in the Boise State game last week… He could have blown the Broncos out in that game if he had wanted to!!!

The Belgian duo spent last season out on loan but the 50-year-old believes both players are ready to compete for a first-team place at Stamford Bridge next season
Lukaku spent last term on loan at West Brom where he scored 17 goals in 35 Premier League appearances, while De Bruyne shone in midfield for Werder Bremen during his season-long stint with the Bundesliga club.
13/8 | Jose Mourinho is 13/8 with Paddy Power to sign a Real Madrid player during the summer |
"First of all I want to meet them. And I think it's fair that the players are the first ones to know about their future and to know about their future by their manager and their club and not by the media," Mourinho said.
"I can say that [De Bruyne and Lukaku] are the profile of player that Chelsea invested a lot in the past and I think it's my work and my contribution to extract the best out of that investment and I think both of them are ready to come and are ready to be part of our squad."

So, is time to change our perspective. We are fighting over resources and we dont fairly accomodate for all. The rich do benefit from it, goverments do benefit from it, noone is ready to give in the power and riches and the corruption that comes with the old world order. Even us the people are not ready tog et rid of our racial, political, religious, cultural and so on, differences. But as our species is advancing technologically, humanity reamins immature on average. amazing technologies are put in the wrong hands, trillions of money goes to military projects instead of improving our life as a whole, as one humanity and not seperated by limits, by our ethnicity or our location in the world. I am going to quote Carl Sagan here as he speaks my mind, we need ''fundamental restructuring of economical, political social and religious institutions''. With a few words, a new world order is about radical change and humans are not known to welcome it. We afraid of change, some because it is not in their interest and then some because they think with the old world mind, as well others that believe in myths and superstition. As Carl Sagan said ''fundamental changes are seeing as impractical, contrary to human nature''. New world order means radical change, which is what we need if we are to enter the space age. If we are to survive this critical point, where in one hand we have advancement in technology and on the other hand we have human immaturity. People are not ready to give up their religious, political, cultural etc agendas, corporations are not ready to reform, goverments dont want to give up the power. I want to believe that if the illuminaty exist, they are wise and educated people, that see life for what it is. There are very harsh truths, that includes natural disasters, human corruption, and so on. Life is harsh, and at this point we can either destroy our planet, our achievements and our technology and send us all back to the stoneage or change and embrace the new technological age, cause with it comes awareness and evolution. Our intelligence evolves and so our consciousness. So, to prepare ourselves for a new era, the space age, new dimensions and a new reality. Nobody wants us to be slaves, we are just too superstitious, and negative to see the benefit of peace and wealth in a united world, that operates based on wisdom and enlightement. You afraid of microchips when we already developing ways to improve healing via nanotechnology, instead of poison you with medicine, you are afraid of robots and machines thinking that they will make you redundant, when they are here to work and harvest resources for us, to manufacture for us, so we can move to a new age, where we are dont need to work for our basic needs anymore, but instead embrace the new human evolution. Maybe much of the old and the new generation is not ready for it, it might be genetic, maybe with time, more and more people will be born with the characteristics fo new more enligthened and highly intelligent human, with more expanded consciousness and ability to evolve and break free from the old wold order. In time it will happen, we cant stay immature and primitive in our spirit for ever. If the illuminaty exist, then they are indeed the wise guys, they are the true bringers of light. If they dont, then wise humans do exist, and more will be born, eventually the stupidity level, greediness and corruption as well superstition of the human population, may be erased from the face of earth, that if we make it. the evil here is the old world order, who is right now threatening to wipe out humanity is our old self, the reason we suffer, we are divided, we fight, is our old self. Too bad that the average population has brain the size of a peanut, you guys keep educating yourselves in youtube and books written by idiots. On the main time, lets hope somebody is looking after all this shit that all of us have gotten humanity into. we are all responsible, wether u like it or not, too bad many people dont even have the brain capasity to think straight. |

You can't control what others do and you never will be able to, but fighting fire with fire doesn't work. All you have dominion over is yourself. Love them even if they are evil, because evil itself is rooted in ignorance. Our true nature is love, and rejecting this love means rejecting yourself. That is where the true hell lies. Also, buying into all this fear and negativity isn't good for anyone. Let fearful and sad people be just that. You don't have to let it drag you down. There is no judgement to wait for, the ones who invest in fear experience fear and the ones who invest in love rise above it. |

According to my theory only small minority of their low ranking members do that. The reason some of them do that is because this is the easiest way to become part of the occult world although it is also the most dangerous one. High ranking members think they are Gods and therefore there is no need for human sacrifice or worship of any kind. What if their chip implant program will help to illiminate all domestic violence? That would be a good thing don't you think? Also, no more murders, rapes or theft. Everything you do is recorded so who would be so crazy to break the law? Quoting: eScrew They are just another sect.

There is no such thing called the devil or God.... if you look behind the main picture, look even furthur you can see we are run by a outer being that watches over us. the balance of life is good and bad. you give to recieve. 50/50 like i said it's the balance of life there is always gonna be negitive energy out there amd there is gonna be postive energy. some illuminati memebers are what you call satanist to be a reminder that there is bad out there. They are on our side, only reason they are gonna do this New World Order thing is to save mother earth! They love this planet and they are trying to save it, but no we the society messed everything up we killed mother earth, raped it! They are pissed off, they are like parents if you do good you revieve good things, all they do is give and give and we shut them down like animals. We are on the break of disaster only becasue of us. Society is the way it is because we made it the way it is. if we all come together and stop making so many babys and limit things and make things better we will still have a chance. But my words will be unspoken. No one will take this serious you just gonna shut me down and continue your negitive ways. But if you take this in nice postive way then you are my friend. I love all! we are all one, I am you, you are me, we are all. I see upon you, you see upon me, i see all, as you see all. Look deep whats on the inside and express the best of you postive balance of the human nature my friends we still have a fighting chance o change but if some one takes this seriouse spread this word around, that the illuminati is good! and explain why........They pratice Wicca the pagan beliefe, the pagan religion dates back before "Christ" even walked the earth way bfore the book of genisis (sorry if i didn't spell that right).

God has no need for men or earth period. Especially freemasons. Don't listen to any of the shills on this site. This scripture is about Freemasons. Psalm 2 1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One. 3 "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters." 4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, 6 Masons say they are building Gods kingdom on earth. Really? We can see the scripture above God has no need of men, but yet they are building the kingdom? Lies. Grandmaster Albert Pike said the god of the masons is Lucifer. It's in his book and online all over the place. The masons the only ones plotting. They are the vain ones. They are the rulers. They make evil laws. They worship idols and graven images of mystery cults. They murder and cheat. They are the vain ones drunk on power. They summon demons and devils and there is more than enough evidence to support all their sins and transgressions. Just go look at the figures adorned on government buildings worldwide.

Illuminated User ID: 12976306 United States 07/05/2012 10:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have believed since I was a child there should be a one world government and the world should be in unity. That only makes since how could we ever deal with other off world civilizations if we can't even agree among ourselves. The question at hand. What if Masons and Illuminati are the good guys? This whole Mason thing is a joke. I have met many they are juts average people that join the loge they are not all rich, the don't do any thing weird. From what I have heard they study metaphysics at deeper levels. As someone already said all arguments rely on Christianity being true. I think Christianity is a disease like most other organized religions. Even by it's own standards in the verse that says "You can judge a tree by it's fruit." What is the fruit of Christianity. Let's see war & murder in Christ's name, guilt, oppression, judgement, fear, making people into slave and beggars to a false god under threat of eternal damnation in hell. Yeah pretty rotten fruit. It's a sham used to control people and keep them powerless. If you look at the old testament the God of the old testament was vengeful and wrathful and jealous. There is wisdom in the bible but there are also a lot of things that are lies or things so cryptic that it does more harm than good. You belief and concept of GOD will shape what you get from it. In the new testament Christ gave a entirely different concept of GOD that was loving, part of you and within you and also gave instructions on how to work with GOD and manifest and have life abundantly. But instead the Christians choose to focus on fear, guilt and limitation. It's clear that the GOD he speaks of is not a Judgmental being or man. But the Father is the Quantum field of all possibilities. Let's not forget when he said "Know yet not ye ate little GODS!" Christianity is a insult to Christ and his teaching and has been used to pervert his message make him a GOD to be worshiped (which he never said to do)and hide his teaching of how to become GOD our-self and "Do the things he did and also greater things! And I did not read of Christ speaking of anything but love, faith and self-empowerment. Don't forget also that the bible was edited, books removed added etc. Now that that's out of the way/ Any christian rebuttals in my opinion are groundless and total B.S. There all kinds of theories about the Illuminati being descendants of the Annunaki, etc... From what I have seen if you rise to the top you are asked to join the Illuminati. They seem to welcome you and say "You finally figured it out, welcome to club." They all use the Law of Attraction they know about manifestation, they know we create reality and when you rise to the top they welcome you. They see you as one of them. Or so it seems because apparently every successful person in the world is part of the Illuminati or so the conspiracy theorist seem to think. Since I have been on the spiritual path and learned how to manifest in my life I have tried to share with others. And often I attract people that share the beliefs but much of the time when I try to share this info to help people improve their lives it's meet with skepticism , hostility, attacks, or the Christian or other organized religion brainwashed mindset. You can't them. They are the sheeple and they are asleep. Do you really think they are the ones that should be deciding the fate of this world and creating the governments? Most of them are self-destructive, their life revolves around being a wage slave, drinking, doing drugs, they biggest plans they make are their vacation and next tattoo they while, complain and blame others and expect the government to change their life. Yet with the internet and Amazon.com you can learn to do just about anything from become a multimillionaire, find a cure for cancer that actually works, and discover the power of manifesting. But do most people do that? I have come to realize that I think the Illuminati have it right, let people find it on their own. You can't help those that want to hold on to their misery and old beliefs. And those particular that are dominated by fear. And welcome those that wake up from the matrix and have proven themselves. Maybe I have some of the bloodline or maybe I'm average in bloodline and just have awakened but I see things much more differently and in fact most of my life. I know one thing and that no matter what the future holds I will not fear, I will walk in love and faith and my GOD/Higher-Self, Quantum Field, what ever you want to call it will guide me on the right path for my highest good. Who knows maybe I'll get my Illuminati invitation soon or maybe their is another path I will be guided to. PS: And people would be much better of developing themselves that focusing your energy on conspiracy theories and the evils of the powers that be. That's just another sheeple mindgame. |

text: What If The Olympic Medal Count Included Medals for Every Member of a Team Event?AMagicianNamedGod2/24/14 12:09pm111EditPromoteShare to KinjaGo to permalinkThe Olympic medal count is a stupid measurement tool that is supposed to tell us how successful a particular country was during the entire span of an Olympiad. Some have suggested that we could refine this blunt instrument by weighing gold, silver, and bronze finishes in a sort of NASCAR or F1 fashion. It is still imperfect. In the same way weighing AP Calculus equally with Advanced Athletic Conditioning is probably suspect, weighing medals still rates the solo niche events as heavily as the team sports that require multiple athletes to perform at an elite level, simultaneously. Likewise, many of the team events are also much more popular than the lesser-known solo events and thus play a larger part in the broader sports consciousness. A gold in solo Nordic Combined gets the same treatment as a Hockey gold in the medal count. That's silly.While it has plenty of flaws, there are a few merits of the gross medal count as an assessment. I often like the fact that the gross medal count lumps gold, silver and bronze together in such a way that ignores the capricious luck that often determines the difference between a first and second place finish. It awards equal meritorious achievement for simply being on the podium at the most pressure-filled, climactic event of the sporting universe. However, the medal count, weighted or otherwise, neglects to properly reflect a country's ability to put together good teams. Team competitions may not highlight the individual athlete in the way solo swimming events show off Michael Phelps and his unparalleled ability, or the way Usain Bolt can dominate the other greatest sprinters in the world. However, they can tell us whether a country has a sports infrastructure for a particular event that can foster excellence in a wide swath of participants, rather than just creating one piercing individual performer.AdvertisementAdvertisement Again, writers and analysts have attempted to fix this by presenting the number of weighted medals per 100 members of the delegation. A sort of group Olympics GPA, but small delegations who win medals make even stronger cases for Olympic success. For example, in 2010 Australia had 40 athletes, 2 gold, 1 silver (6.3 weighted medals/100 athletes). However, this statistic would be detrimental to a delegation who win two bronzes in Olympic Curling with 10 members when compared to another country who only sent two competitors, but one of them won silver in Downhill Ski Cross.A list of events that have multiple participants is longer than one might think. To count the number of multiple participants in an event that would be awarded a medal, I used the number of participants in the medal round. In hockey, the maximum number of players allowed on a roster were awarded a medal, and in the case of team figure skating where each team that medaled had a different number of participants, I awarded medals to the mean number of participants, nine.Below is table indicating the net change in medals for each country in each event with multiple participants. Each type of medal has been left discrete.

If the medal count reflected a medal for every athlete who was on the roster during the medal round or final heat of the event, each of those countries standings in the final medal count would have changed dramatically.Teams that earned a medal in Hockey were the most obvious beneficiaries of this type of adjustment in the medal counting statistics. The roster sizes were 25 and 21 for men and women, respectively. One could certainly argue for an adjustment in the number of medals awarded to a hockey team. The most simple change would be to award medals only for the number of players participating in the event at a given time. In the case of Men's and Women's Hockey, each team would receive 6 medals instead, resulting in a net +5 for each hockey medalist. SponsoredCurling teams might be a little more difficult to quantify since, on a given throw, not all five rostered players are participating. But since the differential would be less dramatic than in hockey, I'm willing to concede that all members of the curling squads could medal. Or we could just not count curling at all.Regardless, the bump that countries receive when we award medals to all the members of a team gives us new picture of the medal count. Nations that excel at team sports are not punished for lacking a strong performer in a marginal event. While medal count is still relatively dumb, the sporting equivalent of wiener measuring, having some variety in the way we count the medals is far more desirable than our current boneheaded methodology.Reply11 repliesLeave a reply

Steven Jackson proves he's too pricey for Packers
Greg Jennings visits Minnesota as team ponders next move
Signing free agent running back Steven Jackson may never have been in the cards for the Green Bay Packers.
It certainly wasn't in their budget.
Jackson agreed to terms on a deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday afternoon amid rumors all day Wednesday that he would sign with the Packers. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jackson's deal is for three years, $12 million and includes $4 million guaranteed.
It's not known what the Packers offered or if they even offered anything at all, but if they really wanted Jackson - and maybe more importantly - he wanted them, they would have had to put up more than $4 million a year.
General manager Ted Thompson is notoriously tight with the money he spends in free agency, and it would be fair to assume he didn't want to spend that much on a soon-to-be 30-year-old running back.
It's been known for a while that the Falcons had interest in Jackson, and it only made sense that he had interest in them.
Jackson grew up in Las Vegas, played all of his professional home games indoors and has varied interests that include art, fashion, architecture and film making and there's little question Atlanta would provide more comfort and accessibility to his off-the-field passions than Green Bay.
It's very possible Jackson's representative was using the Packers to help leverage a better deal with the Falcons. But it has been reported that Thompson is fond of Jackson, an eight-time 1,000-yard rusher, and tried to trade for him several years back, so there was interest.
The Packers are a healthy $18 million under the salary cap, but they'll need most of that to sign linebacker Clay Matthews and quarterback Aaron Rodgers to extensions and to pay for their draft choices.
They also may need some of that space to re-sign wide receiver Greg Jennings, who has found the free agent market fairly dry and could wind up returning for an amount the Packers are willing to pay.
Jennings was in Minnesota on Thursday night to have dinner with Vikings officials and talk about the possibility of joining their organization. His official visit to the team's facilities is Friday, a source told the Journal Sentinel.
But while Jennings has drawn interest from the Vikings, the source said prior to the dinner Jennings' camp had not indicated what it would take to sign him, and the Vikings had not made any kind of offer.
Jennings is the top receiver available in free agency, but given that the contracts of New England's Wes Welker and St. Louis' Danny Amendola came in at $6 million a year, it wouldn't appear the market would be a ton better for Jennings.
The Vikings are without a No. 1 receiver after trading Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks and releasing Michael Jenkins. Harvin caught 62 passes last year and the only other receiver to catch more than 40 was Jenkins.
Minnesota has about $20 million under the cap and 11 draft choices, including four of the first 53 selections, so they have plenty of options to rebuild their receiver position. But initially, Jennings probably wouldn't have another receiver helping draw attention away from him.
Jennings, who has played with Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, has said that the team's quarterback will "mean a lot" in making his decision. In this case, it would be Christian Ponder, whom Jennings was able to watch twice last season (Ponder did not play in the playoff game against the Packers at Lambeau Field.)
Ponder ranked 24th in the NFL last year in passer rating with an 81.2 mark. He completed 300 of 483 passes for 2,935 yards and 18 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.
The Vikings ranked 31st in passing last season under Ponder, although a good deal of that can be attributed to the fact running back Adrian Peterson rushed 348 times for 2,097 yards.
With Jackson out of the picture, the Packers can probably afford Jennings and still keep tight end Jermichael Finley at $8.25 million this year. Adding Jackson and Jennings probably would have meant Finley would be asked to take a pay cut.
Jackson may have been enticed by Atlanta's offense, which prior to last year had relied heavily on the run. The Falcons run a zone blocking system and excelled with Michael Turner, who like Jackson, is a power running back.
In Green Bay, Jackson would have always been second fiddle to the passing game and there was no guarantee he would be used the way he wanted. The Packers feel good about 5-foot-7 back DuJuan Harris and would be satisfied having him share time with somebody else.
Thompson can't be certain that Harris, Alex Green and James Starks are the answer to an improved running attack, but there's enough there that he's not desperate. There are a couple of other options for bettering the talent.
In free agency, there are a number of backs who have had success in the NFL but come with injury and consistency issues. The good news for Thompson is that he can wait most of them out and sign one for a very reasonable price if he wants.
Among those available are Ahmad Bradshaw, Beanie Wells, Peyton Hillis, Justin Forsett and Turner. Bradshaw is the most talented of the group, but he was released from the Giants in part because he has been injury prone and had off-season foot surgery.
Just 26, Bradshaw may have some good years left, but the injury factor will play into the evaluation.
Thompson's favorite vehicle for obtaining talent has a number of intriguing prospects. The draft features some good-sized runners with excellent credentials, including Alabama's Eddie Lacy, Wisconsin's Montee Ball, Oregon State's Joseph Randle, North Carolina's Giovani Bernard, Florida's Mike Gillislee, Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell and Texas A&M's Christine Michael.

Grant Hill: I really wasnt expecting him to start in the lineup but he did nd he is playing good his ankle seems fine he could very solitify his career in phoenix not just wrap it up Ben Wallace: Really he hasn't been as good in Chicago as he was in Detroit.He started the season of rough, but hes picking it up and led his team to a comeback victory the other night still the one thought that comes to my mind when i think of ben wallace is: "Mo' Money Mo' Problems" Darko Milicic: Really right now in memphis darko is playing just as he would if he was still in detroit. wich is average. He is deffinately not playing like he did in orlando though. he has'nt made the adjustment to memphis yet Carlos Delfino: He really has'nt played as well as he did in Detroit despite getting a lot MORE minutes. At least nothing statworthy. He doesent have the right teamates to become the energy delfino
I guess Baby Fats is still soft as a baby's bottom This doesn't surprise me. Most players with heavy European backgrounds like Okur and Gasol tend to be softer than players with American backgrounds. Of course we can all name a number of prominent exceptions. Maybe that is why Sir Charles said "you can't win when your toughest player is a kicker"; i.e., European trained. Rumors - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
You can't just look at Delfino's shooting %. You have to factor in the 3-pointers that he hits with the eFG. His eFG is .508 compared to Prince's .469. So, regardless of their regular shooting %, Delfino gets more points per shot than Prince. Also, he has the best on-court defensive stats on the Raptors.
Based on his game against the Lakers last week, Delfino still can't finish at the rim, though his defensive seems to have improved from the days when he played for Brown. Delfino actually started twice as many games playing for Brown in 2004-05 then he has the rest of his career including this year with the Raptors. NBA.com : Carlos Delfino Career Stats Page
All that really matters is playing time. You know how coaches like bringing Argentinian wingmen off the bench.
As for Okur, the local columnist seems to be correcting the mistaken viewpoint of the New Yorker. Okur doesn't rebound and he can't block shots, but he's a fair to good man defender (playing in Utah helps, as Malone would attest). The job he did on Yao in last year's playoffs was quite good. Charles Barkley knows soft. Which Phoenix Sun has ever played in Europe? Unless you're using "European" as a synonym for "white."
I am just quoting Sir Charles. Draw your own conclusions. D. Wade knows soft. Anyone nicknamed "Pooky" has got to be soft. LOL
You were the one who added the "European-trained" to the end, though. Which one's that? Cali-Canadian Nash? Wade plays more defense than I ever remember Chuck playing, though.
Draw your own conclusions about what Sir Charles said which was "Any team whose toughest player is a kicker ain't going to win a NBA championship" I was joking about Wade.
Oh Smush... I never understood the big deal about this kid anyway. We knew when he came to Detroit that he had a screw loose. He should be happy he got that Miami contract.
Darko's damn lucky he has another two years on that contract. If it were up this summer he might very well be out of the league.
He is looking mighty sucky indeed. Total mental collapse. It is crazy to think that he is still young enough to be right out of college.
How's it gonna be when the Celtics pick up Flip Murray? If they do that, he'll probably get playing time with them as the backup point guard. Also, there is the possibility that he could win the starting spot (?) or maybe get there through injury of Rondo. I know he didn't fit with us, but he's dangerous and it would suck if he improved Bos.
Flip's got a career playoff average of 32%. If Boston wants to play him over Eddie House or Rondo, more power to them.
He can drive though. With KG, Pierce, and Allen out there, I think he could be effective. There must be some reason Boston is interested.
He can get to the rim against very small guards and ones who didn't pay enough attention to the line in the scouting report that says PLAY TEN FEET OFF OF HIM AT ALL TIMES. He could be effective in Boston if he's willing to move without the ball, which he wasn't when he was here. But even if he does, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Or maybe our ancestors came from outside our solar system, flung up from a distant planet (perhaps Caprica?) billions of years ago and migrated to Earth. It all sounds far-fetched, but new research suggests microbes can survive an asteroid impact big enough so send them into space, making panspermia — the idea that we're all really aliens at heart — a real possibility. Advertisement Previous experiments have shown that microbes can survive in the punishing cold of space. Their ability to hide out in a rock's interior, safe from a vacuum is well-documented too.But scientists haven't been able to tell whether hearty critters could survive the heat and crushing force of an asteroid impact that would be needed to eject them into space in the first place. Astrobiologists at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Germany have finally connected all the dots with a new experiment in the Spring issue of Astrobiology Magazine Advertisement And what better way to simulate an asteroid impact than to smash rocks together? That's exactly what the scientists involved in this research did, after sprinkling test rocks with bacteria known live inside stone, some cyanobacteria, and a dash of lichen onto them. All three lifeforms survived the high-speed collision, suggesting they could be floating through outer space even now, waiting for a chance encounter with distant planet to plant the seeds of a whole new 'alien' biosphere.Source: Astrobiology MagazineImage: NASAReply28 repliesLeave a reply

WIP: Fechak's Ripple
This Work in Progress is the green and blue monstrosity that has been mentioned elsewhere. It was begun in March of 2006, in this post. It is currently around 40 inches long, and about 120" wide. I began with 25 skeins of Homespun, and I think I'm right about on track with it. Recipient, like every guy I've ever heard of when defining the crochet item in his head, requests "no holes, thick, soft." I think they just mean "no granny squares," but I wasn't taking any chances. It's single crochet, though, the most boring and tedious stitch to use. Each row takes so long, that I'm sure it would interest scientists studying quantum mechanics and the space-time continuum. Every color takes an Age of Men.
I am determined he will receive this before the end of the winter.
THIS winter.

Is this the one that's 1/4 complete? Good freaking lord, I'm going to be able to cover up a whole orgy of people... now... to find an orgy of people...
Instead of letting Fechak have it, is it ok if I just take it instead? kthxbye

that's gorgeous! I love the colors. I have some homespun that I was knitting, and it kept making me want to rip out my hair - stupid splitty threads! maybe I should try crocheting it.
that worked and solved my problem with the suede/fuzzy yarn.

Product Description
Cross Paddleboards are medium-sized boards that excel in flat water cruising but also allow you to crossover into the surf when the waves turn up. This level of versatility is what makes Cross boards so unique. Moderate widths and flat bottoms underfoot keep them stable. The right amount of rocker, combined with the perfect outline, makes these boards track nicely, so that small and medium riders can go for extended cruises without working too hard or paddling in circles. Then, when the surf comes up, they have the right tool for ripping it up in the waves.Cross 11' Stand-Up Paddleboard The shorter length and modified surf rocker of the Cross SUP make it easy to maneuver, even in a breeze, as it responds well to paddle input. Speed and tracking are excellent for a board of this size. At 27 lbs., the Cross is the easiest board to transport to and from the water. Larger paddlers will enjoy this board for SUP surfing. It drives down the line with speed and quickly responds to steering input with a three-fin setup and narrow tail. For riders up to 220 lbs. 11'L x 30.5"W x 4"H. |

BBC iPlayer Prompts Rethink of TV License
Tim FergusonNew ways in which people are accessing television content—such as the BBC iPlayer—could force a rethink in how the TV licence is paid according to the BBC's independent regulator, the BBC Trust.
In a report on the way the TV licence fee is collected the Beeb's independent regulator said issues created by recent advances in the way people access television content need to be taken into account.
The report said: "Legislative change is likely to be required in order to reflect technology changes in the licence fee regulations."
People who only watch television via the BBC's online on-demand TV service iPlayer are not legally obliged to pay for a TV licence.
The BBC Trust added that it regularly reviews the impact of new technology on audience behaviour but has so far found that online on-demand viewing tends to supplement television rather than replace it.
But the Trust acknowledges the view from some quarters that online technology could undermine the licence fee as households elect to forgo live television entirely.
There is evidence that some groups are switching to internet streaming as the sole method of watching TV. For example BBC Executive research has found that 40 per cent of students in halls of residence use their laptop as the main way to watch TV.
BBC Trust research suggests there is general confusion around the need for a TV licence with one out of three people surveyed saying it is unclear when a licence is required—especially when using TV-receiving equipment on PCs and mobiles.
"Many were unaware of the different laws surrounding watching on-demand television, which does not need a licence and live streaming of material as it is broadcast, which does require a licence," the report said.
In addition, many did not know that live streaming of material as it's being broadcast does require a licence.

ORCAN INDIANS. The Orcan Indians are known only from documents of the La Salle expedition, which indicate that in the late seventeenth century these people lived inland well to the north of Matagorda Bay, probably near the Brazos River or between the Brazos and Trinity rivers. In some editions of Henri Joutel's journal the names of two groups, Orcan and Piou, were erroneously combined to give a hybridized name, Orcampion or Orcampiou, which in later Spanish publications came out as Orcamipia. The linguistic and cultural affiliations of the Orcan and Piou remain undetermined. It has been suggested that the Orcan Indians may have been the same as the Ebahamos, but no evidence can be found to support this interpretation.

Fashion's relationship with art is often viewed with suspicion, as if low-brow fashion is out to milk all the cultural cred it can.
"Of course, fashion is underwriting exhibition X and show Y," the thinking goes; "of course, brand owners are opening art foundations right and left; they are trying to buy their way into creative legitimacy". But is that true? Or does such thinking miss the point? For as much as fashion likes art, artists (and those who work with them) love fashion.
Such is the case this weekend as the well-dressed (participants and viewers alike) flock to the Frieze Art Fair in New York. Each evening has its parties and dinners. Collectors are in town to buy specific pieces, be they art or fashion.
New York gallerist Suzanne Geiss has already made her spring/summer fashion buys. "I'm really into the new designers at Valentino," she says, "and I've dabbled with the new Saint Laurent. I've not fully gone there yet but I'm debating one of the long, long dresses. I did get one of the giant hats. Maybe I'll debut it at Frieze."
Geiss has worked on many fashion exhibitions in art spaces, from a Stephen Sprouse show at her alma mater Deitch Projects in 2009 to February's "takeover" of her gallery by DIS Magazine in New York Fashion Week. Neither she nor her gallery stick to one genre: "I like to play dress up," she says. "It's pretty wide-ranging. Depending on how I dress, some people don't even recognise me. I don't know if it's better to have an ever-changing style or a signature look."
One of her favourite looks at the moment is a crushed velvet floor-length dress from last season by Junya Watanabe, worn with jazz shoes. "It feels a little Game Of Thrones, mixed with jazz age via Tokyo," says Geiss. She clearly doesn't fit the stereotype of the gallerist who only wears black.
It is an enthusiasm that designers reciprocate. "What I like in women who collect art is that their reactions and choices are less consumerist-driven," says London-based fashion designer Roksanda Ilincic. "It gives us designers more freedom to create fantasy, rather than thinking constantly about making a dress at the right price that loads of people will buy."
Valeria Napoleone, a London-based collector, says her wardrobe is dominated by pieces from Ilincic, Mary Katrantzou, Osman Yousefzada and Peter Pilotto. "Fashion came into my life long before art," she says. "For the past three years, I've been wearing clothes by young designers from London and I really connect with them. Since I've started wearing them, I can't go back."
"I respond to cuts, to shape and to something that makes you look great and feel attractive," she adds. "These designers maintain a conceptuality in the way they work but they are not designers whose clothes you hide yourself behind; they don't conceal you. There are some designers I would not wear because I'd feel lost in their clothes."
This focus on appearances is found throughout the art world. "The artists who have little money often dress the best," says Emily King, a critic and curator who happens to be married to Frieze co-founder Matthew Slotover. "They are visual people and they know what they are doing."
King thinks the link goes beyond the vagaries of fashion. "I don't think it's as much fashion as it is clothes," she says. "Someone like [British artist] Jeremy Deller is such a dandy but it's not fashion. It's dressing."
Indeed, artists themselves often have a particular relationship with fashion. "My grandmother would always remind me how fastidious I was at the age of five," says Francesco Vezzoli, who is preparing for his international retrospective later this month, opening across three venues: Maxxi in Rome, PS1 in New York and Moca in Los Angeles. "I had to choose for myself my outfits for the beach, and I always wanted matching armbands."
Vezzoli's choice of the moment is "a very, very old bottle-green Jil Sander leather jacket, Acne pale green sweatpants, Nike trainers and a Prada T-shirt." Vezzoli has strong links with Prada, creating the Prada 24 Hour Museum in Paris for it in January. "I don't care about the item, I care about the designer and his or her brain," says Vezzoli. "Mrs Prada's brain is beautiful, complex and challenging, just like her fashion."
Vezzoli himself is serious about the importance of fashion – especially for the state of the Italian economy. "At the moment," he says, "I think the fashion industry is the only one that can save my country from crisis." Of course, the key players from that industry have all bought tables at the fundraising gala for Vezzoli's opening on May 26.
Which brings us back to corporate sponsorship and donation. Such is the way that these two disciplines, art and fashion, are intertwined.

The Washington Nationals are just two games into their maiden playoff voyage, and come home to the nation's capital all tied up in their series with the St. Louis Cardinals. But their fans are already getting a tutorial in the rough-and-tumble world of playoff baseball.
Wednesday, the Nationals will play the first postseason game in D.C. since 1933, a 1 p.m. Game 3 affair against the Cardinals that will be televised on the MLB Network.
All the details in the previous paragraph are fairly standard stuff this time of year - multiple TV networks, fluid start times, all coming on the fly.
But it's enough to create a perceived injustice for some fans in the nation's capital.
The most popular sports story on the Washington Post's site today is a regional reaction piece to the Nationals' start time and TV slot. The upshot: Fans are upset.
As Nationals fan John Quinn told the Post's Dan Steinberg: "Some of us actually have to work. It's really upsetting. This is the first time we've had playoff baseball since 1933, and to get the 1 o'clock start time and the MLB Network just seems really unfair."
That sentiment is echoed in many of the 200-plus comments on the story.
What's more, a D.C.-based national non-profit, Sports Fans Coalition, has started a petition demanding the game be shown on over-the-air television. The reasoning: D.C.'s $600 million stadium was publicly funded, and thus this historic event should be available to the residents who paid for it.
Which leads us to a few thoughts here:
- That a franchise that was relocated to Washington in 2005 is playing its first home playoff game is of little consequence to anyone outside the Beltway.
- You can probably count on one hand the number of taxpayers happy that stadiums and arenas are publicly funded. But why would an ostensibly national non-profit suddenly express outrage that a playoff game is unavailable on over-the-air TV? Division Series games have been aired exclusively on TBS since 2007 (Who can forget those awesome Dane Cook commercials?) Was a similar petition circulated for Tigers fans forced to watch their team on MLB Network Sunday morning, even though taxpayers fronted $80 million for Comerica Park? Apparently not, though Brian Frederick, executive director of SportsFans.org, cites a scheduling conflict for the lack of a similar effort in Detroit.
- Who knew that getting relegated to the MLB Network, as opposed to TBS, was a major-league diss? Apparently having your playoff action called by Ernie Johnson, Dick Stockton, Don Orsillo, Craig Sager and the like is some sort of badge of honor. Meanwhile, on the call for the MLB Network's coverage: Bob Costas. Who's he?
- Is it somewhat annoying that the New York Yankees are always in prime time? Of course, unless you're a Yankee fan. But TV networks pay a lot of money for rights and would like to, you know, recoup some of that cash by broadcasting popular teams in favorable time slots. Lest we forget, much of that cash flows back to teams like the Nationals, who then use it to spend $126 million on Jayson Werth, or lavish the largest signing bonuses ever for a college pitcher or a teenage slugger.
- Is this anything personal against the Nationals? Of course not. Just ask their hated neighbors to the north, the Phillies. In the 2007 NL Division Series - the Phillies' first playoff appearance since 1993 - Philly played two midweek afternoon games. In 2008: a midweek afternoon game, followed by a 6:07 ET start. In 2009: Two midweek afternoon games. Eventually, the Phillies played their way into more favorable time slots as their popularity grew. Yes, playoff TV is something of a meritocracy.
Oddly enough, we usually hear complaints about too many games being on at night, that kids are in bed by the time their teams are playing, etc. But pulling a child out of school or bailing on work due to "playoff flu" is a decades-long tradition.
Yet suddenly, just because a few govies and the like have to work a half day to go to a playoff game, it's an issue?
We're guessing that finding that babysitter, going to a bar to watch the game or paying $5 to live-stream the game will be worthwhile to the fans who manage to pull off these heroic feats.
In fact, some might consider it a badge of honor. Welcome to the big leagues, Nationals fans.

There's a Measles Outbreak at Vaccine-Denying Pastor Kenneth Copeland's Fort Worth Church
Kenneth Copeland and wife Gloria on the set of their online TV show, Believers Voice of Victory
For several days now, state health officials have been sounding the alarm about a nascent measles outbreak in North Texas. As of Friday, there had been nine confirmed cases, a number that will grow as new reports from local health agencies filter up to the state.
The epicenter of the outbreak is Tarrant County, which has now confirmed 10 cases, and the epicenter of cases in Tarrant County seems to be at Eagle Mountain International Church.
Pastor Terri Copeland Pearsons delivered the news in a sermon last Wednesday:
There has been a ... confirmed case of the measles from the Tarrant County Public Health Department. And that is a really big deal in that America, the United States has been essentially measles free for I think it's 10 years. And so when measles pops up anywhere else in the United States, the health department -- well, you know, it excites them. You know what I mean I don't mean. I don't mean they're happy about it, but they get very excited and respond to it because it doesn't take much for things like that to spread.
The sermon was awkward, to say the least. Pearsons is the eldest daughter of megapastor Kenneth Copeland, and her church is one of the cornerstones of Kenneth Copeland Ministries, his sprawling evangelical empire. He's far from the most vocal proponent of the discredited theory that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine causes autism, but, between his advocacy of faith healing and his promotion of the vaccine-autism link on his online talk show, he's not exactly urging his flock to get their recommended shots.
That left his daughter doing some nifty theological footwork in last week's sermon as she struggled to explain how believers should trust their health to both God and medical professionals.
There are a lot of people that think the Bible -- we talk about walking by faith -- it leaves out things such as, I don't know, people just get strange. But when you read the Old Testament, you find that it is full of precautionary measures, and it is full of the law.
Why did the Jewish people, why did they not die out during the plague? Because the Bible told them how to be clean, told them how to disinfect, told them there was something contagious. And the interesting thing of it, it wasn't a medical doctor per se who took care of those things, it was the priesthood. It was the ministers, it was those who knew how to take the promises of God as well as the commandments of God to take care of things like disinfection and so forth....
Many of the things that we have in medical practice now actually are things you can trace back into scripture. It's when we find out what's in the scripture that we have wisdom.
She concludes by announcing that the church was hosting a pair of free vaccination clinics and urging everyone to show up, advice that probably would have been more helpful two months ago.
On the next page is a taste of what it's like to be in Pastor Copeland's congregation.
