In-Progress At Texas: SPEED's Very Strange Friday
It certainly is a strange Friday for SPEED, as they have a wide variety of NASCAR programming on that is going to be fascinating to watch.
Noon Eastern Time has the Busch Series practice, scheduled for one hour. We can assume that Steve Byrnes, Jeff Hammond, and Larry McReynolds will be upstairs in the booth, and usually Wendy Venturini and Bob Dillner are on pit road.
The network returns with NASCAR Live at 2:30PM before presenting the Survival of the Fastest episode from Atlanta at 3:30PM and the strange little Go or Go Home show at 4PM.
After a break, the network comes back for Busch Series qualifying at 6:30PM and leads directly into the one hour live version of Trackside at 7:30PM. This block of programming could be tricky to do, depending on what has transpired on the track during the day. But, it needs to get done on time for one reason.
The Craftsman Trucks take to the TMS high banks at 9PM. SPEED has told me that during the 8:30PM live edition of The Set-Up pre-race show, Kevin and DeLana Harvick are going to have a major announcement about their Truck Series plans for 2008. Krista Voda hosts the pre-race, with Rick Allen and Phil Parsons calling the action for the Trucks. Ray Dunlap returns to SPEED to cover pit road along with Adam Alexander. I have no word on whether Michael Waltrip is also on the TV crew.
This page will host your comments about SPEED's Friday of NASCAR programming. You may leave your comment before, during, or after the programs. Please restrict your comments to the TV programs we listed above, or your post will be deleted. The general rules for comments are located on the right side of the main page.

I like Speed's coverage. Much better than ESPN.
How can ESPN compete with Riki Rachtman in a Winnie the Pooh costume?

I see your point about Go or Go Home being a little strange. It's not bad at all, it just doesn't seem like a separate show - it's more an extension of NASCAR Live with not much to make it seem different.

"and the strange little Go or Go Home show at 4PM."
JD, I don't get it. Why would you call it strange?
- November 2, 2007 at 12:19 AM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
Because it has never materialized into any kind of stand-alone show. As the earlier poster said, it is just a NASCAR Live extension.
Don't get me wrong, it has good info and interviews, but sometimes it seems to be existing just to get another thirty minutes of NASCAR Live from the track.

I thought the Go or Go Home show, as the title indicates, was going to be just about the cars and drivers that had to qualify on time to make the race. It isn't, but wouldn't it have been nice to give them a little tv time?

Speed just dumped Busch Series practice to provide live coverage of the Bruton Smith press conference. I'm sorry but I don't think live on-track NASCAR action should be pre-empted for a press conference of any kind. Thumbs down to Speed on this one.
And as I correctly predicted on the Texas ESPN2 thread, no coverage of this event anywhere on the ESPN Family of Networks. ESPNNEWS is still re-running the half hour highlight show that's been running since 2 AM, while ESPN is still re-running Sportscenter and ESPN2 is still airing First Take uninterrupted.

I'm going to ammend my previous statment and give Speed a pass on this one. They stayed just long enough to hear the announcement and stuck around for just one question from the media, so the coverage was as quick and concise as possible. I'm sure if there was no live on-track action going on they would have stuck around much longer to show more questions but I think they handled this as well as it could have been expected. I don't mind missing like 2 minutes of Busch practice to hear the announcement live. There was actually just cause for this BRIEF pre-emption, unlike other networks that skip 5 minute chunks of Cup practice to show a behind the scenes look at their own Pit Studio.

Who is this new guy named Elliott SaLDer that's driving the #9 Busch car this weekend? The poor guy can't even get any respect from the graphics department at the network he works for, LOL.

@stricklanfan82--I was wondering how they would handle it as well. When Dill Pickle came and stated that they were waiting for other media, it sounded like they were making a big deal, which I thought was weird considering there wasn't anything on the NA$CAR site (at least when I looked just a bit before it started). But yes it was nice that it was an in/out type dealio.
I missed that about the SALDER, I had to rewatch the recording to see it!
How weird that they had on the ticker that Smoke was a rookie there? He's raced Texas before

Does anyone else think it's wishful thinking to only allow a 60 minute window to broadcast Busch Series qualiyfing? I'm afraid we won't be able to see Trackside in its entirety since the Truck Race comes on at 8:30.

Didn't I say this part of the day was going to be tricky?
7:30PM was the "hard window" for SPEED to have qualifying done.
The network does not carry the Busch Series and Trackside is a one hour "hard" show that must precede The Craftsman Trucks at 8:30PM.
Tried to tell ya!
- November 2, 2007 at 7:47 PM
- stricklinfan82 said...
And of course, what's on at midnight after the Truck Race?... Trackside again!
What would have been so hard about sticking with Busch Qualifying (which has no re-airs) and joining Trackside in-progress afterwards? Isn't that what they've done for years? I know I've seen Trackside joined-in-progress several times due to live racing, so I just watched one of the multiple re-airs to catch the part of the show I missed originally.
Pre-empting live NASCAR Racing in progress to show a NASCAR talk show! Brilliant!
I wonder if CBS is planning on pre-empting the end of Colts/Pats to join the Subway post-race show at 7:00? I'm sure football fans would rather see people talk about football instead of watching actual football, don't you? If the program director at Speed was running CBS I'm sure that's what would happen on Sunday based on the precedent he/she has set with tonight's debacle.
What a ridiculous day of NASCAR TV coverage. I'm sure JD will have a field day with all of this junk we've been forced to sit through all day.

Too funny. I tried to tip you off.
The key point is that the Busch Series is on ESPN and Trackside is already sold by SPEED for the hour.
The Busch coverage was a NASCAR TV contract deal, and had nothing to do with ESPN.
I think if SPEED had it to do over again, they might have changed their coverage a bit. Now that qualifying is over, we can see that the overlap was almost thirty minutes.
SPEED knows that NASCAR has a set start time for the Trucks, so everything backs up from there.
Fun huh?

Well we might have missed the end of qualifing but Trackside was great and funny tonight. A good lighthearted show and everyone really seemed to have fun doing it.
I enjoyed it.
- November 2, 2007 at 7:59 PM
- stricklinfan82 said...
Here are two easy solutions that could have prevented this:
1.) Air Trackside sometime between 2:30 and 4:30, in-between Cup practice and Cup qualifying
2.) Air Trackside AFTER the truck race to fit in all the LIVE on-track action
Someone's going to have to help me with this because I can't remember, but what did Speed to at Bristol and Richmond with Trackside when Cup qualifying was from 5:00-7:00, followed immediately by Busch Racing? Did they air it earlier in the day or did they tape it and air it after the Busch Race at like 11PM or midnight?
- November 2, 2007 at 8:01 PM

I can't remember which races but there was one if not two races where trackside was late 10p or later.

Poor David Reutimann. Every time he does something great the TV cameras aren't there to document his accomplishment. He wins at Memphis... "David Reutimann takes the checkered flag... time to switch to football 6 minutes early, goodbye everyone!" He wins the pole for the Busch race tonight but didn't run until after Speed's cameras had been shut off to switch the network to a NASCAR talk show.
I'm sure Aaron's, Toyota, and Michael Waltrip Racing must be thrilled with this. Everyone else that wins a race or pole and is all over TV, showcasing their sponsor logos to their world and thanking them with numerous sponsor mentions during their post-event interviews. When David Reutimann wins something, cameras aren't there to document his accomplishment so his sponsors go unnoticed and unthanked on TV.

Does qualifying or trackside have more viewers. Plus will they put it in on the reairs? If so he'll have tons of coverage but not sure that will happen. I have to watch again just to see.

Well, I was kind of irked SPEED pulled an ESPN and yanked QUALIFYING for TRACKSIDE...but it was nice they gave an update and showed David.
I guess considering how crowded today was and the warning JD gave us, something was bound to happen.
I am glad I was busy on the phone or doing other things when ESPN was on...not worth one's full attention.
I hope SPEED does not make a habit of doing this though...dropping QUALIFYING since we NEVER get it or REAL PRACTICE on ESPN as they are too busy yapping about themselves and being on camera, the boys in the booth.

@Stricklanfan--IIRC, Trackside has never been aired earlier than 5 pm eastern since it's been on. If there's a scheduling conflict (as your example of Qualifying until 7 eastern and then Busch scheduled to start on another network at 7) they've either taped Trackside earlier in the day *or* taped it at that time and then air it after the Busch race was scheduled to end. There was one (at least) that I seem to remember where they taped it while the race was going on. But also for early taping of Trackside, you have to also work around driver activity at the track. IF they're all practicing who are your guests going to be?
Sophia--it's a very *rare* thing, they usually schedule enough time, but as stated by JD it was a VERY tight day.

@newracefan--not JD but the reair will have the same coverage. Things have been thrown in to the mix mid-show before and it stayed the same.

Most of these issues were decided well in advance...like months.
SPEED was obligated for the Truck race, the Truck pre-race, and Trackside. All those start times were hard.
NASCAR put together the qualifying coverage in the TV contract.
I didn't think SPEED would fit all that qualifying into that short time slot. Makes you wonder what NASCAR told them...

SPEED left a little bit on the table there with Rick Allen getting overwhelmed by Michael Waltrip at crucial moments.
SPEED needs to establish Waltrip's role and keep him in it, simply for the sake of order on-the-air.
No doubt Waltrip lends enthusiasm to a very laid-back Phil Parsons, but there have to be some boundaries or there will continue to be lots of fractured commentary as we saw this evening.

Overall, I really do enjoy the SPEED presentation of the NCTS, although I agree with JD that Mr Waltrip needs to turn down the volume a bit. As the season has progressed, I have grown to appreciate Rick Allen.
I am reluctant to join in on the "piling on" frenzy regarding ESPN miscues, but the ESPN producers could learn something by watching a truck race. What SPEED does NOT leave on the table is fully informing viewers of the finishing order before the end of the program.
- November 3, 2007 at 12:40 AM
- SophiaZ123 said...
I missed some of the action doing a late night laundry load, and was out of the room of the digital tv.
When they went off the air, they clearly said that NASCAR would be reviewing the video tape to find the finishing order. It was a very wild last few laps and then got crazy after the red flag.
I hope it's not a sign of things to come for the rest of the weekend. This has been some of the craziest finial laps in racing I have ever seen. In all the series!
I must have missed Waltrips steamrolling over the show. I was doing some work on the computer and just keeping an eye on the screen...so NICE to see so much of the racing on SPEED as opposed to a bunch of GRAPHICS, taped footage and yapping heads in the booth interviewing folks during green flag racing.
I didn't see anything specific about Waltrip mentioned on another board so will be curious to see what I missed.

We were at the track last night for the truck race. Sometimes it's better watching on tv because you can keep track of the drivers, etc they only show the scoring pylon but no one knows who is a lap down, etc. Lots of action too especially the last crash but it was confusing for us they turned the pylon off so no one was really sure who won the race.

City of Wellington water customers will soon see their water bills increase, and the increase will be greater for those that use the most water.
City of Wellington water customers will soon see their water bills increase, and the increase will be greater for those that use the most water.
It is partly to recoup costs, and partly to encourage conservation of water. The City Council has been talking about water for months, and hope to cut water use and to encourage people to help with conservation.
The city is also considering ways of encouraging people to save water. One way is to give a rebate for certain devices, such as high efficiency toilets or rain barrels.
The city may also give people shower heads and faucet aerators in exchange for old ones that are not as efficient.
City officials wanted to lessen the impact on those that don't use much water to start with, such as one person living alone in a house. Someone using 4,000 gallons a month, which is the average, would pay about 45 cents a month more with the new plan.
The biggest difference would be for industrial users who use a lot of water. Their ill could go up as much as 18 percent.
Residential and business customers alike will see the amount they pay for water increase as they use more water.
Finances were a major topic at the most recent worksession meeting by the Wellington City Council.
They are considering asking voters for another half-cent in sales tax for the hospital. There was a half cent sales tax that expired at the end of 2013. Another half-cent is currently on the books and is set to expire July of 2015.
The question could be on the ballot by the August primary, or in the November general election.
Interim City Manager Shane Shields began showing city council members a proposed budget for 2015. Numbers are preliminary, and they wont know how much money they have until after July when tax valuations come in.
The fire department is asking for more people, as is the police department.

Documentation can be found in avl-rational-keys.lisp. ============================================================ > binary-io-utilities :: (include-book "binary-io-utilities" :dir :teachpacks) This teachpack provides two functions. > (binary-file->byte-list file state) : (mv Byte-List Error State) file : String state : State This function reads the contents of a file as a list of bytes. > (byte-list->binary-file file bytes state) : (mv Error State) file : String bytes : Byte-List state : State This function writes a list of bytes to a file. ============================================================ > doublecheck :: (include-book "doublecheck" :dir :teachpacks) This teachpack provides facilities for randomized testing of programs. These may be used as a prelude to theorem proving, or to diagnose a failed proof attempt. The primary forms in doublecheck are defproperty and check-properties: > (defproperty name count ((var gen pred) ...) expr annotations ...) name :: Identifier gen : Generator pred : Boolean expr : Boolean annotations: hints, etc. > (check-properties) This defines a property of the program to be tested. The property has the given name and random tests will run count repetitions. The boolean expression expr determines the property and each variable var is a random input. The random values chosen for each var are determined by the corresponding generator gen and must satisfy the predicate pred. Generators are constructed from special functions determined below. Dracula records each property, then tests each with random values when check-properties is called. It generates a report summarizing sucesses and failures and listing detauls of each failure. ACL2 treats defproperty as defthm, following this template: (defthm name (implies (and pred ...) expr) annotations ...) Note that the number count and the generators gen are ignored by ACL2. Generators are not defined in ACL2 and cannot be executed in Dracula outside the gen position in defproperty, as random number generation is not pure. ACL2 also ignores check-properties. Example: ;; Test whether the result of nth is actually a member of the given list. (defproperty nth-produces-a-member 100 (;; Let lst be a list of between 1 and 10 symbols. (lst (random-list-of (random-symbol) (random-int-between 1 10)) (symbol-listp lst)) ;; Let idx be a valid index into lst. (idx (random-int-between 0 (1- (len lst))) (and (natp idx) (< idx (len lst))))) ;; Test whether (nth idx lst) is actually in lst. (member-equal (nth idx lst) lst)) #| In ACL2, this corresponds to the following theorem: (defthm nth-produces-a-member (implies (and (symbol-listp lst) (natp idx) (< idx (len lst))) (member-equal (nth idx lst) lst))) |# DoubleCheck provides several generator functions, described below. Any regular ACL2 value may be supplied in place of a generator, representing a nonrandom value. > (random-int-between i j) Generates integers between i and j, inclusive. > (random-size) Generates random, usually small, natural numbers, suitable for list sizes. > (random-boolean) Generates random booleans. > (random-char) Generates random characters. > (random-string) Generates random strings. > (random-symbol) Generates random symbols. > (random-list-of elem-gen size-gen) Generates random lists containing elements generated by elem-gen and of a length generated by size-gen. > (random-list gen ...) Generates fixed length lists, each element of which is generated by the corresponding gen. > (random-apply f gen ...) Generates the result of applying f to the value generated by each gen. > (defgenerator name (arg ...) (weight gen) ...) The defgenerator form allows definition of custom, potentially recursive generators. This form defines a function of the given name and arguments.

I was just checking out the July issue of APG and saw an article about this Z.I.P.P. 2K Cycleflow bolt for cockers and angels. Now, I know this is a magazine laden with marketing ploys, but the idea still seemed thought provoking. The idea is the bolt has three holes on the bottom, as opposed to an evenly spaced venturi style. Though the article makes no claims as to what degree the magnus effect takes place, it does mention it as a "flatline" bolt.
/dodge marketing bashes
Does anyone have any experience with one of these or know anything about them?
My guess is IF backspin does occur, it would not be enough, and still render the balls under the vortex effect.

*UPDATE* Nikon D4 Official
When There Is No Second Chance: The New Nikon FX-Format D4 Multi-Media Digital SLR is The Definitive Unification Of Speed And Precision
The New 16.2 Megapixel Nikon D4 Wields a Formidable Fusion of Swift Performance, Battle-Tested Technologies and Innovative New Features to Create High Caliber Photo and HD Multimedia Content
MELVILLE, N.Y. (Jan 5, 2012) – The new Nikon D4 digital SLR builds upon the legacy of the proven Nikon flagship D-SLRs before it, engineered to give today's professional multimedia photographers a new apex of speed and accuracy with unparalleled image quality, low-light capability and Full HD video. The Nikon D4 hosts a multitude of advanced new features and useful functions that deliver speedy performance and amazing image quality for when missing the shot is not an option.Every aspect of the new Nikon D4 D-SLR has been designed to emphasize rapid response and seamless operation to help professional photographers consistently capture incredible content. Nikon's proven 51-point AF System has been further enhanced for maximum speed in a variety of challenging shooting situations, even at 10 frames per second (fps). Considered the new Nikon flagship, the D4 renders supreme image quality, a feat accomplished with a new 16.2-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor, coupled with the latest generation of Nikon's EXPEED 3 image processing engine to help produce images and videos with stunning clarity and color. Photographers are also able to shoot in even the most challenging environments and lighting conditions with the assistance of Nikon's new 91,000-pixel 3D color matrix meter and a broad ISO range from 100 to a staggering 204,800 for low-light capture like never before. The Nikon D4 is engineered for the modern professional and incorporates never before seen HD-SLR video features for those who also need to capture multimedia content from the field."Speed without accuracy is irrelevant," said Bo Kajiwara, director of marketing, Nikon Inc. "The status of a Nikon flagship camera is not given lightly; this next generation of Nikon's most professional body exceeds the needs of a wide variety of both still and multimedia professionals that rely on Nikon to make their living. Besides overall performance and burst speed, the D4 provides Nikon's most advanced AF system to date, as well as enhanced workflow speed to give professionals the edge in the field."
Velocity Meets Versatility
Speed is a necessity for today's multimedia photographer as milliseconds matter when the action commences. Whether an assignment relies on fast processing power, burst rate, write speed, enhanced workflow or even streamlined camera controls, the D4 is the epitome of professional-caliber photographic horsepower. Ready to shoot in approximately 0.012 seconds, the new Nikon D4 can capture full resolution JPEG or RAW files at up to 10 fps with full AF / AE or up to 11 fps with AF / AE locked. Immediately before image capture, the camera interprets data from the AF sensor, including subject color as detected on the 91,000-pixel RGB sensor, to deliver consistently tack-sharp focus frame after frame. Whether a photographer is shooting a full-court fast break under gymnasium lighting or the downhill slalom in the bright sun and frigid temperatures, the D4 will instill the confidence with consistently great results.The Advanced Multi-Cam 3500 AF autofocus system is the next generation of Nikon's proven 51-point AF system. The fully customizable system offers users the ability to capture fast moving subjects and track focus with precision or select a single AF point with pinpoint accuracy. The Nikon D4 D-SLR aligns 15 cross-type sensors in the center to detect contrast data in both vertical and horizontal planes. In addition to detecting each AF-NIKKOR lens with an aperture of f/5.6 or lower, the camera also utilizes nine cross-type sensors that are fully functional when using compatible NIKKOR lenses and TC14E or TC17E teleconverters or a single cross-type sensor when using compatible NIKKOR lenses and the TC20E teleconverter with an aperture value up to f/8, which is a great advantage to those shooting sports and wildlife. For maximum versatility in situations such as photographing nature from afar or competition from the sidelines, photographers are also able to select multiple AF modes, including normal, wide area, face tracking and subject tracking, to best suit the scene.The Nikon D4 D-SLR also employs a new 91,000-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix metering system that meticulously analyzes each scene and recognizes factors such as color and brightness with unprecedented precision. This data is then interpreted and compared against D4's on-board database to implement various settings, resulting in vibrant images with faithful color reproduction and balanced exposure. In addition, this new AF sensor now has the ability to detect up to 16 human faces with startling accuracy, even when shooting through the optical viewfinder, allowing for correct exposure even when the subject is backlit. Additionally, to capture every brief moment from a bouquet toss to a photo finish under nearly any condition, the 51 focus points deliver fast and accurate detection down to a -2 EV with every AF-NIKKOR lens.
All of this image data is funneled through a 16 bit pipeline and are written to dual card slots which have been optimized for the latest UDMA-7 Compact Flash™ cards, as well as the new XQD™ memory card. The D4 is the first professional camera to harness the capabilities of this new durable and compact format, which offers blazing fast write times and extended capacity essential for multimedia professionals shooting stills and video.
Image Quality That Hits the Mark
The heart of the new D4 is the Nikon-developed 16.2-megapixel FX-format (36 x 23.9mm) CMOS sensor that provides amazing image quality, brilliant dynamic range and vivid colors in nearly any lighting condition. By achieving the optimal balance of resolution and sensor size, professional photographers will realize exceptionally sharp, clean and well saturated images throughout the entire ISO range.
Like the D3 and D3s before it, the Nikon D4 retains Nikon's status as the sovereign of low-light capture ability, with a native ISO range from 100 to 12,800 ISO, expandable from 50 (Lo-1) to an incredible yet usable 204,800 (Hi-4). From a candlelit first dance to nocturnal wildlife, the large 7.3µ pixel size absorbs the maximum amount of light to excel in any situation. Additionally, the sensor's construction features a gapless micro-lens structure and anti-reflective coating which further contributes to images that retain natural depth and tones with smooth color gradation. For ultimate versatility, photographers can also take advantage of the camera's extreme high ISO ability while recording video.
Another factor contributing to the camera's rapid performance and stellar image quality is Nikon's new EXPEED 3 image processing engine that helps professionals create images with amazing resolution, color and dynamic range in both still images and video. From image processing to transfer, the new engine is capable of processing massive amounts of data, exacting optimal color, perfect tonality and minimized noise throughout the frame.
There are also a variety of shooting options available to help capture the highest quality images and video. In addition to standard NEF (RAW) files, the D4 is also capable of shooting smaller compressed RAW files to ease storage and speed up workflow. Users are also able to capture even more dynamic range with the in-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) function that merges consecutive exposures. For deep contrast and further tonality, Active D-Lighting can also be activated during shooting for balanced exposures even in backlit scenes. Additionally, the camera features a dedicated button for quick access to Nikon's Picture Controls, allowing users to quickly select one of six presets.
Professional Multimedia Features
The Nikon D4 D-SLR is engineered with innovative new features for the multimedia professional that needs the small form factor, low-light ability and NIKKOR lens versatility that only an HD-SLR can offer. The new features add functionality for those professionals looking for the best possible experience to capture a moment in Full HD 1080p video at various frame rates, providing footage that is more than suitable for broadcast.
The reputation and respect bestowed upon a Nikon D-Series flagship camera is earned from those who use it; therefore the chassis of the Nikon D4 is machined from magnesium alloy for maximum durability and reliability. The body of the camera is sealed and gasketed for resistance to dirt and moisture, as well as electromagnetic interference. Photographers are able to easily compose through the bright optical viewfinder, which offers 100% frame coverage. The shutter has been tested to withstand 400,000 cycles for maximum durability, while sensor cleaning is employed by vibrating the OLPF. The self diagnostic shutter unit also encompasses a mirror balancer to minimize the residual "bounce" to enhance AF and extend viewing time. What's more, the viewfinder is coated with a new thermal shield finish which works to resist overheating during prolonged use, enhancing overall reliability. Users can easily compose on the camera's wide, bright and scratch resistant 921,000-dot high resolution 3.2-inch LCD screen.
The overall controls and operability of the camera has also been engineered with a renewed emphasis on speed and functionality. During critical moments, users will appreciate refined button layouts with renewed ergonomics, such as a quick AF mode selector placed near the lens mount for fast access on the fly. A new joystick style sub-selector is also placed on the camera's rear for AF point and option selection, while vertical controls have been enhanced for improved operability. Finally, to continue the D4's moniker of the best tool for just about any condition, key control buttons on the back of the camera can all be illuminated, making the camera simple to operate in complete darkness.
Nikon has also made enhancements to overall workflow, adding options to streamline the process and maximize shooting time. Users are now able to automatically generate IPTC data for their images and image sets, making organizing and chronicling images easier for both the photographers and their editors. A wired Ethernet port is also utilized so that a user can shoot tethered and transfer images easily and quickly to clients. Nikon has also introduced the new WT-5A wireless file transmitter, to transmit via FTP server or computer. The device can be set to transfer either automatically or manually selected images. This device also allows for remote operation of the camera using Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 software. A mobile application is also in development to control the camera using this accessory, which will include the ability to trigger the shutter and record video, making this a must-have remote accessory for many professionals.
Price and Availability
The Nikon D4 will be available in late February 2012 for the suggested retail price of $5999.95.*
To see the new D4 D-SLR and other new Nikon products, visit Nikon at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at booth # 11039 from January 10-13th, 2012 in Las Vegas, NV.

Nikon D4 Outed
Nikon's D4 has been confirmed. It looks very impressive on the spec sheet. I like the idea of illuminated function buttons. Hopefully we can select the colour. :)
I find it very interesting that they're going to get it to market before Canon gets the 1D X to us.

Honestly, I'll take either. They are both better than anything any of us is using now.
The standard ISO range may suggest Nikon intends to keep the king of low light title with an extra stop compared to the 1DX. Of course this is highly speculative as we have not seen anything in terms of RAW file but it will be exciting for sure.

Physical activity and exercise are widely known to increase overall health and wellness, but the Cancer Network and American Cancer Society suggest that it also can prevent cancer and aid in the recovery of cancer patients.
Physical activity and exercise are widely known to increase overall health and wellness, but the Cancer Network and American Cancer Society suggest that it also can prevent cancer and aid in the recovery of cancer patients.
"Exercise should be a part of your life no matter what age or physical status," said Jessica Beckman, DPT, at Lake Regional Rehab Therapy in Eldon. "Not only does it help prevent a variety of illnesses, but it can mentally and physically aid in recovery efforts."
Tanya Rhine, Eldon High School guidance counselor, knows first-hand what a consistent workout can do for the body. A two-time cancer survivor, Rhine credits her love for running as a key part of her speedy recovery.
"I've always been a runner," she said. "And, I try to be a model of exercise and good health."
Running may not have prevented her colon cancer diagnosis in 2007 or breast cancer in 2012, but it was always at the top of her mind, and remained a part of her life through recovery.
"I was always thinking, 'when can I start running again,'" she said. "It was usually one of the first questions I asked my doctor."
Six weeks into radiation therapy for breast cancer, Rhine was running a race.
"I didn't want to be thought of as sickly or someone weak, so I pushed myself," she said. "Running is a release for me and made me feel like I was doing things a normal person without cancer does. I felt like I was accomplishing things."
Beckmann says exercise plays a major role in the recovery of function following treatments and reduces the lingering effects of cancer and associated treatments. Various exercises can reduce swelling, pain, numbness and fatigue often associated with some cancer treatments.
"At first I thought, 'what good has all my exercise been when I still got cancer,'" Rhine said. "But, you have to look at the flip side of how it's helped me deal with and recover from cancer."
Rhine, who shares her survivor story with her students as a way to empower them, ran her first half marathon this past spring, just months after being deemed "cancer free."
"I try to stress with my kids and students the importance of exercise in all aspects of life," she said. "It's not only good for physical health but mental health, too. I decided it was time to just face my fears and run the half marathon."
Aside from exercise and good health, Rhine stresses the benefits of regular health screenings and physician visits for cancer prevention and early detection.
"I found out I had breast cancer when I went in for a routine exam," she said. "And when I had pain in my side and thought it was appendicitis, I went to my doctor and found out it was colon cancer."
Both cancers were surgically removed and did not require chemotherapy, partially because of the early diagnosis.
"Regular physical exams and screenings go hand-in-hand with early detection and more rapid treatment of most illnesses and diseases," Beckmann said. "No one knows your body like you do. If something doesn't feel right, you absolutely should have it checked it out, even between routine exams."

Seth Rogen & Barbra Streisand Talk 'Guilt Trip'
You'd think that if the name Barbra Streisand comes up in casting meetings for a new film that it wouldn't be necessary to do any research on the megastar's work on other movie sets, which is already well known as being extremely professional and diligent with, perhaps, a few demands or two. She's earned that right, don't you think?
But Seth Rogen, in casting his mother for the new film "The Guilt Trip," did check around to see what it was like to work with Babs. "I think I was actually working with John Schwartzman, who was the cinematographer on 'Meet the Fockers,' around the time this came up and I think I asked him what he thought of Barbra," explained Rogen at the Beverly Hills press junket last week.
"He said she was great." Adding, "I know Jay Roach [director of 'Fockers'] a little, so I think I might have asked him. I think he said she was awesome, too."
With Streisand sitting by his side, Rogen added, "This Barbra Streisand lady checked out. So I thought I'd give her a shot."
Streisand on Rogen: "I thought he was adorable"
Streisand, in return, admitted, "I don't know any of those people from his movies." But, regardless of not having the same detective skills or knowledge as Rogen, she explained what she thought of the comic actor from what she had seen. "I thought he was adorable, so I thought this is interesting... unlikely, which makes it interesting. And yet, you know, we're both Jewish. I could be his mother."
"The Guilt Trip," which opens in theaters this week, is not a holiday-themed film, but does promote the idea of family, finding love and how no matter how old we may be, how we sometimes still need our mother. The fact that the bulk of the movie takes place on a cross-country road trip also proves to be a great story device to force the two adults to see each other in a new light. The film also features Kathy Najimy, Nora Dunn, Adam Scott, Ari Graynor and Casey Wilson.
Directed by Anne Fletcher ("The Proposal") and written by Dan Fogelman ("Tangled"), the sparks between Rogen and Streisand were undeniable, which made for a fun, often-improvisational shoot. "They had such a great chemistry and just a great ability to improvise with each other that was so easy to do," Fletcher said. "You just say one word even if it was like 'Thanksgiving' and they just go into a five-minute improv that was so genius..."
And if Streisand had turned down the role who would've been cast instead? Rogen joked that he was open to Shirley MacLaine, to which Streisand quickly responded: "he's lying." Rogen smiled and admitted, "I only would have done it if Barbra was doing it." The actor said he was busy shooting the film "50/50" (with Joseph Gordon-Levitt) when he got word that the legendary Streisand had finally said yes to the role.
Comedy or drama?
Since the film contains elements of comedy and drama, which does Streisand see as the more difficult? "They're both the same," she said, matter-of-factly. "If anything is based on what reaches an audience is the truth is honesty. So if you're saying something truthful that's a funny line, it's gonna be funny. If it's a serious line, it's gonna be serious. But I don't think there's a distinction between how you play in drama or comedy; do you know what I mean? If it based in the truth."
Besides plugging "The Guilt Trip," Streisand made a point to slide in a mention that the current big movie musical, "Les Miserables," is not the first film to shoot live singing, which has been a big part of its promotional campaign.
"By the way, 'A Star is Born' was done live," she recalled. "Oh yeah, sometimes with an audience. But we -- I sang live." Streisand also said that she prefers live singing because she's terrible at lip-synching. "I can't lip synch to something I recorded three months before, you know?" But, in praise of "Les Miserables," she said, "I thought it was great that [director] Tom Hooper used that -- let the actors be live."
Jason made her do it
Getting high praise from Barbra Streisand can only be a good thing -- she's clearly well aware of her stature in not only the world of entertainment but also in the gay community, of which her son, Jason Gould, is a part. Asked how her son sees her (since she's such a gay icon), Streisand answered: "He doesn't see me as an icon. He sees me as his mother who touches her hair too much and -- no. I love being an icon to anybody. Equal rights, you know?"
Gould, who acted with his mother in the film "The Prince Of Tides," was key to his mother signing on to playing Rogen's overbearing parent. Streisand explained that her real-life son was recovering from back surgery so he had time to peruse the script. "We read it out loud and it was interesting," she said. "His father [actor Elliott Gould] was in the room, too. Isn't that funny? We were both, you know, very coddling our son. And so he (Elliot) became the audience and Jason was reading all the parts with me. And he said, 'I think you should do it, mom.' I really trust his integrity and his opinion. He has great taste, you know, in whatever he chooses to do. It's amazing. So he clinched the deal."
Streisand's guilt trip
Streisand also stressed that while the film focuses on the guilt a mother puts upon her son, she had her share of guilt earlier in her career when her workload was much heavier. "When I was working a lot and I'd feel guilty as a parent that I couldn't pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kinda thing...so I know that feeling. I know that feeling a lot."
Her memories of that guilt actually helped her connect with her character. "I thought it was interesting to investigate this, you know, trying to be my son's friend, trying to be his friend versus a mother. And when it comes time to really say, you know, 'you abuse me, you disrespect me, you talk back to me, you don't honor what I say, you won't take my advice,' that kinda thing. In terms of this movie, it hit on all those things that I thought I could explore."
Streisand added the universal appeal of the movie, which she called transformative. Of the mother/son characters, she explained, "Both of them kind of tragically alone, you know? Not finding a mate and then at the end [there are] many more possibilities. The horizons open. 'Oh, there's more to life than The Gap.'" She added of the film, "I always say it's a different kind of love story."
And the key to Streisand's longevity? "Less is more," she offered. "Maybe that keeps a little mystery or something. I don't know."
"The Guilt Trip" opens nationwide Dec. 19th.

Is there some document, that describe the sequence of actions, that result in displaying of a Dialog Window from a .DLL.
One important detail - the Dialog Window is created via resource/toolbox inteface.
Below is code from some example (which works), that displays simple window (with client area inside it).
In this code the window class is ctreated inside of application class.
Here is extract from application class:
Below is extract from new .DLL application class, which doesn't work (resource IDD_FORMVIEW, associated with class CPixie3_DLG in't displayed).Code:class CMyWindow : public CFrameWnd { CStatic* cs; public: CMyWindow(); }; CMyWindow::CMyWindow() { Create(NULL, L"MyWindow", WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,200,200)); cs = new CStatic(); cs->Create(L"AAAAA", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_CENTER, CRect(50, 80, 150, 150), this); } BOOL Cvpi_MFC_regularApp::InitInstance() { CWinApp::InitInstance(); m_pMainWnd = new CMyWindow(); m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); return TRUE; }
It's shorter, than previous one, as CPixie3_DLG class is already created.
Where is my mistake ?Code:BOOL CPixie3_GUIApp::InitInstance() { CWinApp::InitInstance(); m_pMainWnd = new CPixie3_DLG(); m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); return TRUE; }

TEL AVIV — An explosive device was detonated inside a bus on Tel Aviv's Shaul Hamelech Street at noon on Wednesday in what Israeli police said was a terror attack. Magen David Adom medical services said 20 people were wounded in the attack. The bomb blew out the windows on the vehicle, a 76 line bus belonging to the Dan company, causing extensive damage but no fatalities.
Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center officials said one person was seriously wounded, one person moderately wounded, and one person was listed in light-to-moderate condition. The official said that the three people were being operated on for blast, burn and shrapnel injuries, mostly from nuts and bolts lodged in their bodies. All the others were lightly hurt and some were being treated for shock.
The attack, in central Tel Aviv, took place near the IDF Kirya military headquarters, Sourasky Medical Center, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The military headquarters was placed on high alert after the attack.
Police said that a person had thrown a bag into the bus on Shaul Hamelech Street and ran away. The bus was not especially full of passengers at the time. Police were conducting searches around the area and ordered people off the streets.
Police Commissioner Yochanan Danino confirmed it was a terror attack. "One of the scenarios we have been preparing for is more than just rockets but also terror attacks in our cities. There is high motivation by the terror groups to hit our cities. We are massively deployed throughout the entire country with a special emphasis on the big cities. We are interviewing eyewitnesses and conducting an investigation in conjunction with the Shin Bet. If there is a terrorist on the loose we are doing everything to put our hands on him," Danino said.
Police were conducting a chase after possible suspects in the area after the attack, saying that there were possibly two people involved in the attack. Police Special Forces caught a suspect near the Yahalom Theatre in the nearby Ramat Gan Diamond Exchange, but the man was released shortly afterward when it became clear he was not connected to the bus bombing. Police were searching for a female suspect said to be in possession of another explosives device in Tel Aviv, as well as checking other possible avenues for accomplices.
The attack came on the eighth day of Operation Pillar of Defense amid intensive cease-fire talks attempting to ward off a massive IDF ground operation in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the Forum of Nine senior ministers shortly after the attack to discuss the emerging cease-fire deal with Hamas and would take the bus bombing into account.
"There were no specific warnings of this attack but we knew this was possible during the current round of fighting," Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Wednesday. "We are dealing with murderous organizations,"Aharonovitch said.
Hamas said on its Al-Aksa TV station that a woman placed a bomb on the bus and escaped. Israeli eyewitnesses said that a short, pudgy man had placed the bag on the bus and escaped. Eyewitnesses say an individual tossed an object into the Tel Aviv bus and fled before it exploded.
Police told Channel 10 that the suspect had waited at the corner of Henrietta Szold and Shaul Hamelech streets under the building of the courthouse at the bus stop. He apparently waited for the bus doors to open and threw a bag in, which then exploded.
CNN reporter Ben Wedeman, covering Operation Pillar of Defense from Gaza, reported celebratory gunfire. "Nearby mosque claiming 'lions of West Bank' behind Tel Aviv bus bombing, claiming it on behalf of Hamas's Izz Ad-Din Al-Qassam brigade," Wedeman tweeted.
Reuters reported that Hamas lauded the Tel Aviv bombing as a "natural response" to the killing of the Dalou family in Gaza earlier in the week, but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack. Other media outlets reported wild celebrations in Gaza once news of the bus bombing spread.
In other news, an Israeli soldier and an Israeli civilian were killed in separate rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.
Cpl. Yosef Partuk, 18, of the West Bank town of Emanuel, was killed by a rocket that landed in the Eshkol Regional Council, in southern Israel, on Tuesday afternoon.
In a separate rocket attack in the same area, an Israeli civilian was killed, another was seriously injured and 15 soldiers were hurt.
Five Israelis, four of them civilians, have been killed by rockets fired from Gaza in the last week.
Nineteen Gazan Palestinians were killed Tuesday, bringing the total number killed since Israel began its Operation Pillar of Defense on Nov. 14 to at least 130.
More than 140 rockets were fired at southern Israel in the seventh day since the beginning of the operation, including two aimed at Jerusalem. Some 56,000 military reservists have been called up since the beginning of the operation.
An air raid siren sounded in Jerusalem on Tuesday afternoon; two rockets fell in the Gush Etzion area south of the city. Hamas claimed responsibility for the rockets aimed at Jerusalem.
Shortly before the alarm, a rocket struck a building in the Eshkol Regional Council, reportedly injuring several people. Rockets also hit a home in Netivot and damaged homes in Sderot and Beersheva.
On Tuesday evening a rocket fired from Gaza struck a building in the central Israeli city of Rishon Lezion, injuring several people.
A volley of 16 rockets was fired Tuesday toward Beersheva. One hit the road in front of a bus, damaging the bus, which the passengers had exited due to the air raid siren. A second rocket hit a house and a third hit a parked care. Nine of the 16 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that on Tuesday, it targeted 11 terrorist squads involved in firing rockets toward Israel and planting explosive devices at the border. The IDF also bombed 30 underground rocket launchers and a hiding place for senior terror operatives that was used to store weapons and ammunition, the IDF spokesman said. Overnight, the IDF said it targeted 100 terror sites in Gaza, including underground rocket launchers, terror tunnels and ammunition storage facilities.
"The sites that were targeted were positively identified by precise intelligence over the course of several months," the IDF statement said.
Since the beginning of the operation, the IDF has hit some 1,500 targets in Gaza. Iron Dome has intercepted 389 rocketsin the last week, including 51 on Tuesday
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in Israel on Tuesday to meet with Israeli leaders and encourage a cease-fire. She also was scheduled to meet with Palestinian Authority leaders, but no one from Hamas, Haaretz reported. United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki-moon also arrived in Israel on Tuesday to meet with Israeli leaders.

even if i was horribly disfigured in an accident. I'd rather play horribly disfigured than sell my collection to pay for the plastic surgery
New toy!
havn't seen many of these so i thought i'd throw one together,
micro-pneumag, thinkin about change'n the lpr to a micro rock or tickler if i can find one
- DW Dallara body
- DW ULE Dallara rail

At exactly two pounds, that's the lightest gun I've ever seen. It's 1/4 pound lighter than the Alien Mag, pictured in the back.
Alot of nice additions since i last posted here!
Here are some of my latest additions to my collection:
PF left minimag, intelli, promag valve, basicly a project since it's not a functional marker yet.
You probably know this one if you have been following last months MOTM. It was a finalist, but short on a few votes. (and it was darn close this time too!) I'm the second owner, and the previous owner only played with it about 20 times, so it's practically in prestine condition. Also i have the original manual that came with the marker.
And after a very long wait, the sovietmag has returned!
E-tac with some custom milling and a brand spanking fresh anno from gruntbull. Also the software, sear, led screen, and battery were replaced. All CNC milling and CNC programming was done by myself, since this is my occupation. A worklog about all the work that went into this can be found here: Click!
More pics and specs can be found here: http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232028
Made some minor changes on the Tac since last posting pictures:
-Xvalve with Lvl 10
-Intelliframe with Viperblade Pro and Kruger grips
-T2W stock
-Lapco machine gun shroud
My camera does a poor job at showing how truly beautiful the grain in the wood actually is. In person, it's not as red as the pictures, but when sunlight hits the wood, some really nice red streaks radiates from it.
*EDIT* The grips are in and they feel great!

my new Pmag.
nothing fancy about it other than cosmetics.
old assed A.I.R. valve before the whole star thing came about. ( from 93ish )
Heres my Tac-one warp left with a Stainless steel Qloader bracket I made and a 20 inch Freak Tactical barrel.
Why the 8 mile long barrel? Just for kicks? Neat remote setup, but it looks kinda awkward to hold. Do you use a stock?
Not quite as nice as a lot of the X-Mags in here, but I like her. According to the PTP crew it was a somewhat rare anno called Purple Haze that they only did 75 of. Then my buddy Vlar made a matching chainmail tank cover for her. My only regret is that I don't have the matching frame from which she seperated sometime before I acquired her.
That chainmail tank cover is HOT!
Got a warp left body on my classic pnuemag:
i've updated my mag quite a bit, so i thought i'd post now that i just finished my new paint job.
So I'm new to the mag world and just picked one up, nothing special but I wanna keep it classic..
Haven't updated pics in a few years.
Straight feed mag, got it a couple years ago with all original packaging. Date on the video in the box is 3/92.
This next is the first mag I bought back in 2000.
The last of the classic mags.
I call this the Minimart mag due to it's 711 serial number.
Flying the unfriendly skies.
Continued from previous post.
This has been my main marker since I built it in 03. I normally run a warp feed on it.
This first gen Tac-One is our loaner.
Of course a Ule Pro just out for a pic.
Of course a pair of Sydarms one of which I use.
Last post
My wife's mag.
And my favorite poster, which shows a certain mag missing from my collection.
just got this in today, I know my picture taking abilities suck...
The Green Hornet. My backup marker
My TekMag (still under construction)
My "ressurrected" Automag RT:
"Saved" from neglegence and the dry, dusty closet of a former paintballer.
I've completely re-done the internals and replaced all the screws (including drilling out a few), chipped away some old, crusted on paint that was starting to turn the metal, and I cut down the powerfeed for a lower profile on both the warp and the normal elbow-feed.

In Washington Irving's classic short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," humble schoolmaster Ichabod Crane possesses an "exceedingly lank" frame and a small, flat head with "huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and a long snipe nose." To see him striding along on a windy day, Irving wrote, you might mistake him for "some scarecrow eloped from a corn field."
That's strange. In the new Fox drama, Crane, as played by hunky Tom Mison, is a dashing Revolutionary War hero.
Say what?
Oh, and he also time travels to modern times, where he teams up with an attractive female cop (Nicole Beharie) to take down a machine gun-wielding Headless Horseman in order to save the world.
It's tempting to wonder what Mr. Irving would think of the stunning makeover bestowed upon the iconic literary character who debuted in 1820. Would he be aghast? As for TV viewers in 2013, well, they're eating it up.
"Sleepy Hollow" was the first new show to premiere this fall and became the season's first breakout hit. For the record, I didn't see it coming. In my annual fall TV overview, I dismissed the show as convoluted, nutty nonsense. While heads rolled on the screen, my eyes kept rolling in their sockets.
But the "Sleepy Hollow" premiere episode decapitated its rivals, drawing more than 10 million viewers — a fat number in these challenging times for broadcast TV. It was the highest-rated drama debut for Fox since 2007. Another good sign: Ratings for "Sleepy Hollow" in recent weeks remain robust, and the show is among prime time's biggest gainers when DVR viewing is added to the mix. Fox has ordered a second season.
So how is the rest of broadcast TV's freshman class faring? Here's a rundown of the biggest winners and losers so far:
"The Blacklist" (NBC): James Spader's crime drama debuted to even bigger numbers than "Sleepy Hollow" with 12.6 million viewers, thanks in part to a healthy lead-in from "The Voice." The fact that Spader is mesmerizing as a former criminal fugitive now aiding the FBI certainly doesn't hurt. I actually did see this one coming, as "The Blacklist" made my Top 5 list of new fall shows. NBC has given the series a full-season order.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (ABC): Let's call this one a hit — with qualifiers. The highly hyped "Avengers" spinoff from Joss Whedon made a big initial splash with nearly 12 million viewers but saw its audience erode an alarming 34 percent in Week 2. Still, it has given ABC a pulse on Tuesdays, where it has the difficult task of leading off the night against "NCIS," TV's most popular drama. ABC has ordered a full season, but unless "S.H.I.E.L.D." can stabilize — and generate more exciting storylines — it could be in trouble.
"The Millers" and "The Crazy Ones" (CBS): These mildly amusing Thursday night comedies benefit greatly from the crazy-huge ratings pulled in by the night's leadoff hitter, "The Big Bang Theory," which regularly flirts with the 20 million mark. Sometimes being lucky — and in the right time slots — makes up for a glaring lack of comedic brilliance. Both shows have been rewarded with full-season orders.
"The Originals" (The CW): This spinoff of "The Vampire Diaries" is getting respectable ratings for The CW, where much lower audience numbers are acceptable. Even more encouraging: Its viewership actually grew last week. The CW has ordered additional scripts.
"Lucky Seven" (ABC): The dramedy about big-time lottery winners failed to hit the ratings jackpot. It was yanked off the schedule after only two episodes.
"We Are Men" (CBS): Another show gone after only two outings. Maybe the sight of Jerry O'Connell was just too much for viewers to handle.
"Dads" (Fox): The Seth MacFarlane live-action comedy was slammed by critics before it even debuted. Viewers don't seem to like it either.
NBC's Thursday night comedies: So whatever happened to "Must See TV"? NBC had huge hopes for "The Michael J. Fox Show," but the comeback has fizzled so far. "Sean Saves the World" and "Welcome to the Family" are duds as well.
"Hostages" (CBS): Apparently, the audience for this dark thriller has been abducted.
"Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" (ABC): Ratings have taken a steep plunge down the rabbit hole.
"Ironside" (NBC): The wheels quickly fell off this cop-show reboot. It has been axed.
"Betrayal" (ABC): It's an affair we don't want to remember.

LOWELL -- Mayor Patrick Murphy caught some of his City Council colleagues by surprise Saturday morning during an interview on a local radio show when he said he's "leaning against running again."
Murphy, appearing on former Dracut Selectman Warren Shaw's show on WCAP, said he "set out to do a lot of things and I think I have accomplished them."
City Councilor Marty Lorrey opined that Murphy, whose wife is expecting to give birth to the couple's first child in March, might have based his decision partly on the need to spend more time with his family. Lorrey, who is retired, said he typically spends about 35 hours per week working on council-related matters.
Murphy, who works full time as a stone mason, also serves as chairman of the School Committee in accordance with the city's mayoral responsibilities.
He did not respond to several messages left on his cellphone Saturday requesting comment, nor to a request made through his aide, Jennifer Myers.
Murphy will turn 31 in May. Last year he became the city's youngest mayor in history at age 29, besting the previous record held by Brian Martin, who was 33 when he became mayor in 1984.
Murphy started his political career in 2007 when he unsuccessfully ran for the 5th Congressional District seat as an independent in a field that included Democrat Niki Tsongas and Republican Jim Ogonowski.
Murphy's potential departure would leave an open seat in the 2013 election that could draw a wider field of candidates.
City Councilor Rodney Elliott, whom Murphy bested in the 2012 mayoral selection by one vote, said the mayor's comments did not come as that big of a shock.
Elliott said he's "not sure what to believe" and added that Patrick's announcement "seems like it could be a plea for attention."
"He does flip-flop on the issues," Elliott said. "He's also said he'd run and not accept a salary, and that changed."
When Murphy first won a seat on the City Council in November 2009 he pledged to not take the $15,000 stipend that comes with being a city councilor. He did, however, accept the $20,000 mayoral stipend and pointed out that the demands of being a mayor took time away from his regular job as stone mason.
Elliott was also critical of Murphy's claim that he has accomplished a lot, saying that he's not sure what Murphy has accomplished, "but can say he hasn't done much to unify City Council."
Longtime City Councilor Bill Martin, who also served a stint as mayor, said he feels the decision of whether or not to run for another term in Lowell is "usually made up by the time St. Patrick's Day rolls around."
"It's that time of the year when seasoned people decided pretty much if they're in or if they're out," he added.
City Councilor Rita Mercier, also reached Saturday, declined to comment.
City Councilor Vesna Nuon, who cast the fifth and deciding vote last January that gave Murphy the edge over Elliott in the bid to become mayor, did not return a call for comment.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - The ninth-ranked Duke men's golf team remains in second place after posting a one-over 289 in the second round of the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational at Sawgrass Country Club Monday. The Blue Devils enter Tuesday's final round with a five-under 571, 12 shots behind leader and host North Florida (-17, 559).
North Florida (-17) and Duke (-5) are the only two teams under-par heading into the final round of play. Central Florida is third overall with a nine-over 585, while Arkansas, North Texas, Florida and LSU are all tied for fourth place at 11-over. Monday's second round of play featured several delays with standing water on the course as well as lightening in the area.
Kevin Phelan (North Florida) holds the tournament lead with a 13-under 131 with teammate Sean Dale four shots back at nine-under. Duke's Brinson Paolini and Austin Cody along with Central Florida's Ricardo Gouveia enter the final round tied third at four-under (140).
"It was great to have Brinson and Austin play well today," said head coach Jamie Green. "The conditions were tough and there was a lot of stopping and starting. I know our guys a little disappointed that we did not make up a little ground on North Florida, but it is a credit to North Florida. They know this golf course well and are playing it aggressively. We are by no means out of this tournament. We have guys playing well and we are looking forward to tomorrow. We have been very close to a really good team round and I know they would love to have that opportunity tomorrow and see what we can do."
Paolini, a native of Virginia Beach, Va., fired a three-under 69 on Monday for his fourth round in the 60s this season. He kicked off his round with a bogey at No. 2, but pulled back into the red numbers after making a birdie at No. 7, followed up by sinking a 15-foot putt for eagle at the par 5 eighth hole. After making the turn in 34, Paolini carded six pars, two birdies and a bogey over the final nine holes to move up the leaderboard. Paolini now shares the team lead with six under-par rounds this season.
A day after firing a two-under 70, Cody opened his second round with only three pars on the front side. Cody dropped shots at No. 4, No. 6 and No. 9, but made birdies at the par 3 third, par 4 fifth and par 5 ninth hole to post an even-par 36. On the back side, Cody came out hot, holing out a wedge on the par 5 eleventh for eagle before carding a birdie at No. 14 to take his round to three-under. After bogeys at No. 15 and No. 17, Cody ended the day with a birdie on the par 5 18th hole to post another two-under par 70.
Senior All-American Julian Suri looked to rebound from an opening round 75 and started his second round with three pars on the first three holes before making a birdie on the par 5 fourth hole. Suri dropped two shots when he made a double-bogey 6 on No. 5, but responded with 10 consecutive pars. On No. 16, Suri made a double-bogey and carded a second consecutive three-over par, 75. Suri, 36th in the Golfstat individual rankings, has been hindered by four double-bogeys over the first two rounds of play.
Senior Adam Sumrall had a consistent opening round on Sunday with 15 pars en route to a one-under 71, but had a more up and down day in Monday's second round. The South Bend, Ind., native made three bogeys on the opening nine, but also had birdies on No. 3 and No. 8 to make the turn with a 37.
Sumrall dropped a shot at the par 3 twelfth, but responded with a birdie on No. 13 to pull his round back to one-over on the day. After three consecutive pars, Sumrall struggled down the stretch bogeying No. 17 and No. 18 to post a 75.
Freshman Mads Soegaard got off to a slow start, dropping three shots in the first two holes before bogeying No. 5 to fall to four-over on the day. Soegaard, a native of Ikast, Denmark, settled in to birdie No. 8 and No. 12, but dropped shots on No. 13, No. 16 and No. 17 to finish with a six-over par, 78.
Playing as an individual, Michael Ricaurte enters the final round in a tie for 73rd at 12-over after posting a seven-over 79 in the second round.
The final round of the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational is slated to begin Tuesday with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. Duke will be paired with leader North Florida and Central Florida for the final round of play. Live hole-by-hole scoring and complete results for the event are available at www.golfstat.com.
Tuesday's final round could be met with more challenging weather as rain and heavy winds are expected throughout the day in the Ponte Vedra Beach area.

There's no telling some people (Also ICK!)November 5, 2011 at 9:27 am | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 2 Comments
Tags: aches, arthritis, diagnosis, doctor, GP, joint pain, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), rheumatology, stiffness, work
I met up with a friend yesterday who I haven't seen for ages, in spite of the fact that we work in the same tiny town. It was great to see her but I was somewhat dismayed when she asked me about my arthritis and then told me that her husband seemed to be suffering from what appear to be RA symptoms too.
'One of his fingers is permanently hooked now,' she said, 'and sometimes when he goes to open a jar or something he hand locks around it and I have to force the fingers open one by one. I hate doing that, it's gross.'
My immediate reaction was something like 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggghghhhggh!' This was partly for the grossness and partly because you MUSTN'T do that. 'Every time you force his hand open you're damaging the joints more!' I nearly screamed.
'Well,' says she with a shrug, 'what else can we do?'
'What treatment is he on for it?'
'Oh he isn't on any treatment. He's not been to the doctor about it.'
Did I mention Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrggghghhhggh?
Well … erm … that might be your answer about what else you can do about it then! Now I know some people don't want to go on treatment and have some success with alternative therapy or diet, and the very best of luck to them, but he's not doing that either. He's just ignoring it and waiting for it to go away. What makes it worse is he has a very active, physical job and he really NEEDS to be able to do this stuff.
On reflection, perhaps that's why he's not going to the doctor – he's terrified of being told that he shouldn't/can't carry on working, so he's just trying to ignore it. I can kind of sympathise with that … but he's still crazy if you ask me!

Wow… what a wife…:) I will say that even though i'm in treatment, it's still hard to tell which is RA and which is just the Osteo style….Doc did explain that RA is pain in the Joint and swelling,,, not overall swelling i had in my feet and leg.. that is another issue according to him,,, and he knows his stuff… but the pain in my hips and stiffness is mainly osteo i'm told… so can you help me by discribing an RA flare in as much detail as you can? The only time (that's when i had bloodwork and was diagnosed) i had one was a huge bulge/swelling on the top of my hand, and i think severe pain in my leg radiating from thigh to ankle which just went it's course… Any input would be appreciated… thanks Barbara

GROTON -- After years of dormancy, there was news from the Planning Board of possible economic activity at the mostly empty Shaw's plaza at Four Corners.
News came from Planning Administrator Michelle Collette, who told board members Thursday that two inquiries to her office had been received.
"They are just putting out feelers," said Collette. "But something's going to be happening at that Shaw's."
Built some years ago, the Shaw's plaza has yet to be fully developed beyond the existing supermarket and a single retail building that had, until recently, housed the Riverbend high-end appliance store.
Permitted to add more buildings to the site, the owners have never had the opportunity to do so leaving its 232-space parking area mostly empty.
A recent attempt to establish a Lost Lake Sewer District, which would have had its wastewater line run past Shaw's and into Ayer, could have made the underdeveloped property more attractive to potential investors but fell through when Town Meeting voted the plan down.
Also languishing at the Four Corners is Crossroads Plaza directly across Sandy Pond Road from the supermarket. The former location of the Groton Jade Chinese restaurant that had been demolished when Route 119 was widened and the intersection improved has remained undeveloped for years.
"They have not had a lot of interest in retail," said Collette of the lack of activity at the supermarket site.
Now, however, Collette said an unidentified realtor inquired about a change in use for the Riverbend building and the possibility of converting it into office space while local attorney Robert Collins is said to be exploring its use as a medical office building.
Collette could not say if the inquiries represented two different parties or only one.
The only question for either inquiry at such an early stage, asked Collette, was if the Shaw's site was permitted for office space or medical office space.
"It is a permitted use," said board Chairman John Giger of the question of office space.
All agreed that medical space would require more septic capacity.
Also Thursday, board members:
* Voted to confirm that a housing unit at the Academy Hill subdivision is to be designated as the third of five affordable homes in the growing development. Located off Townsend Road, when completed, Academy Hill will include 94 homes on 100 acres. As part of developer Bruce Wheeler's agreement with the town, parts of another 213 acres are to be donated to the town and the state's Division of Fisheries and Wildlife as conservation land.
* Voted to postpone a public hearing on a plan by the Groton Electric Light Department to install banks of solar-voltaic panels on property off Nate Nutting Road until June 13. According to Collette, the delay was made necessary when it was discovered that the site might harbor an endangered species.
* Voted to postpone a public hearing on a plan by landowner Gerald Croteau to develop his North Street property as the Bluestone Drive Residential Development. According to Collette, the delay was sought due to engineering issues. Croteau's plan calls for dividing his 20-acre property, the former site of the Colonial Stoneyard, into at least seven lots with half the acreage to remain open space. Most of the lots would be reserved for home construction along a 400-foot access road, taking the form of an elliptical-shape cul-de-sac with a lot set aside for two possible affordable-housing units which would be located in the former stoneyard's office building, to be renovated for the purpose.
* Discussed ongoing plans to fashion town-center overlay-district design guidelines involving streetscapes, landscapes, parking, access, lighting and signage. According to a draft of the document, the guidelines are needed to "promote a socially and economically vibrant town center by enabling civic, commercial and residential development that is consistent with...the town's master plan." The guidelines will also provide landowners "with the opportunity to elect an alternative form of development which provides greater flexibility and density in exchange for advancing the town's design and land use goals." Core values to be added within the new guidelines include cultural, environmental and economic factors.

Nebraska, Iowa Hope to Continue Friday Matchups
Nebraska Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst and Iowa Director of Athletics Gary Barta will make a request to the Big Ten Conference to approve the two schools to continue playing the annual Hy-Vee Heroes Game on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
The request will be considered when the Administrators Council of the Big Ten meets on Feb. 25-26.
The change would place the 2013 game between the two schools in Lincoln on Friday, Nov. 29, and Nebraska would travel to Iowa on Nov. 28, 2014.
Eichorst said he is appreciative of the cooperation from both Iowa and the Big Ten Conference to help continue this Nebraska tradition.
"Playing on the day after Thanksgiving is one of the many great traditions of Nebraska football," Eichorst said. "It gives our football program great visibility on a national stage, and we are excited Iowa has a mutual interest in continuing to play the Heroes Game on this day."
Nebraska has played on Black Friday every year since 1990, a span of 23 consecutive years. The Huskers met Oklahoma from 1990 to 1995 in the final six seasons of the Big Eight Conference, and then played Colorado from 1996 to 2010, in the 15 seasons both schools were members of the Big 12 Conference.
Since joining the Big Ten in 2011, Nebraska has won each of the first two Heroes Games matchups against Iowa. The Huskers defeated the Hawkeyes, 20-7, in Lincoln in 2011, and won 13-7 in Iowa City last November. Nebraska holds a 28-12-3 edge in the all-time series between the schools.
