Thread: My take on the Chiefs!
My take on the Chiefs!
Big game her for both teams. You guys need this game, and the Chiefs need to win in order to stay on top of Indy. If the Chiefs lose and Indy wins, Indy will actually have the tie-breaker over the Chiefs and the Chiefs will move down to the third slot and have to play the first round of the playoffs. We all know Vermeil doesn't want to see that happen.
Well just to give you a little take on what I've been doing here, I have gone to a message board of the opposing team for each matchup the Chiefs have had this year. I started in Week 2 against the Steeler and now here we are in Week 16. Man what a ride it's been too! I remember back when both the Chiefs and Vikes were the only two undefeated teams and everyone was trying to figure out which team was better. Now, the two teams have kinda dropped off a notch and are really struggling to stay in pace with the other top teams in our respective conferences.
I invite you to add any comments or tell us how you think the Vikes will match up to what Ive laid out here. Here's to an injury free game, and just maybe we'll see each other for the third time this season sometime around February! [8D]
Quarterback- Tr'int's game has really improved this half of the season. Early on the Chiefs were winning with Priest adn it took awhile before Tr'int' really got roling. Now he is in full stride heading down the stretch. I think the Chiefs are going to use Priest as much as possible this week to try and keep Minnesota's offense off the field. It's weird saying this, but this is one game the Chiefs do not want to get in a shootout in! Minny will put up points, I guess the question is will KC put up more or not!
Running Backs- It almost looks like they have been conservative with Priest the last few weeks. They know they are going to need him in the playoffs, so they are probably trying to keep him fresh as posible. They also know they really need this game and to win they must control the clock with Priest. Again I emphasize, the Chiefs dont want to get into a shootout.
Tony Richardson had a cast on his hand the last few weeks and it may be off or just a smaller cast now. He broke a couple bones in his hand against Cincy and has been wearing the cast since. While T-Rich may not see many touches, the real reason he is out there is to block for Priest. he will do that, and he does it well.
Larry Johnson finally saw some action last week when the Chiefs had the game under control. He still appears to be the guy if something happens to Priest.
Derrick Blaylock is still the guy that spells Priest. It's almost liek they use Blaylock to keep Priest fresh, but if Priest comes out then it would go to LJ. Kinda interesting really.
Offensive Line- Best group in the biz. Same group of guys have started every game, and that group is probably the best in the league. LT Willie Roaf and RG Will Shields are the anchors on the line and could both end up in Honolulu in February. C Casy Weigmann is a small, quik and athletic center. He really gets outside on sweep plays and this is where he is most effective. LG Bryan Waters has played extremely well this year, and the only Chiefs offensive starter in a contract year is RT John Tait. Tait is really making the Chiefs think twice about letting this guy get away in the off-season.
Wide Receivers- Nothing spectacular here, but they get the job done. IMO Johnny Morton is a better receiver on turf and could end up with a decent day Saturday. Kennison is still the deep threat, but has dropped some catchable balls. Dante Hall has emerged into the No. 3 spot, and the Chiefs will find ways to get him the ball on offense. And Marc Boerigter has been rather quiet this year, but he can still come from nowhere and make an important catch.
Tight End- You look at those receivers and you think, "man, they arent very good." The you have to take a closer look and relize our best receiver is TE Tony Gonzalez. He can block, he can catch, he can run routes, this is the prototypical NFL TE.
Defensive Line- This is an average line at best. It is better than last year, but still very average. They get ran on like nobody's business. This is how you beat the Chiefs. Control the clock, run the ball, dont turn the ball over, and stop their offense every now and then. Think the Vikes can get that done?
The line is comprised of DE Eric Hicks who is a free agent that may go elsewhere in the off-season. he will probably be looking for too much money. DT Ryan Sims has had a good year and is starting to look like the Chiefs made a smart move in drafting him in the first round a couple years ago. NT John Browning isnt that good, and the Vikes will be running at him I'm sure. And then we have Vonnie Holiday who I am sure many of you are familiar with. R-Kal Truluck comes in on 3rd down and passing situations to rush the quarterback. It usually doesnt help.
This line is weird. Sometimes they look great, other times they look terrible. Sometimes the stop the run in the backfield, sometimes they look like they couldn't tackle your grandmother. Sometimes they put pressure on the qquarterback, other times the QB has a day and a half to throw the ball. I still can't figure this out.
Linebackers- The outside LBs are prett good. Scott Fujita and Shawn Barber are quick and athletic. Barber was probably our best FA aquisition last off-season.
At MLB we have struggled. Mike Maslowski has been battling some injuries, and Kawika has struggled in his absence. Kawika looks like the long-term answer, but I'm more concerned about right now.
Secondary- Eric Waqrield is terrible. If Moss doesn't have a good day Saturday then something is wrong. Dexter McCleon has played well in his first season with the Chiefs, but William Bartee is a Nickel corner at best. Bartee is a free agent, and there are a ton of solid corners that will be available in the off-season. I can get you a link to all available FAs next year broken down by team and position if anyone wants it.
Next year I imagine we will get a free agent corner, and then McCleon and Warfield will battle for the No. 2 , and rookie Julian Battle will move remain No. 4.
Our secondary is really good. Greg Wesley is a free agent after this year and will be a highly touded safety. I think this is the Chiefs priority to re-sign right there. Jeroem Woods is also a very good safety who has played very well this year. The safeties are about the only positive to our defense.
Kicker- Morten Andersen is old. So old the Chiefs save over $1000.00 each time they go on the road by checking into the hotel with Morten's AARP discount.
Punter- Is terrible. We are in dire need of a new punter. I see you guys just picked up Leo Araguz, tryin to steal our plays or something? [!]
Special Teams- Have to mention our special teams. Whether the Vikes kick it to Dante or kick away from him, the Chiefs are going to win the field position battle. This guys has skills.
Hope this makes the game a little more enjoyable for all. Feel free to add any comments, they are all aprecciated. I'll be hanging out for the remainder of the season, and like I said before, here's hoping we get to meet up once more this year!
Good luck the rest of the way!

Davis Marbles
Contemporary Art Marbles From The Mountain State
Jim Davis was born in West Virginia in 1930. In 1946 he started working in a glass plant making hand-crafted glassware. In 1990, he was encouraged by Louis Moore (a retired Vitro Agate marble maker) and Dennis Webb (co-author of Greenberg's Guide to Marbles) to make marbles. In 1991, he built his own furnace, made his own equipment, and started making marbles. In November of 2000, Jim suffered a severe stroke which paralyzed him on his left side. He remained in the hospital for quite some time until he was released to go home. After a year at home, Jim was moved to a nursing facility and only recently passed away.
Shortly after Jim became sick, he asked his six sons to take over the marble business. Steve soon retired from an automotive plant where he worked and began to fill the orders for marbles. Davis Marbles, located in Pennsboro WV, is dedicated to keeping the family business alive for years to come

The College Board and MPR Associates recently announced the launch of The Completion Arch, a web-based tool that provides access to public data from national initiatives and published research measuring the progress and success of community college students. The Completion Arch identified a set of indicators of student achievement in five areas spanning a student's community college experience from college enrollment through entry into the workforce. IHELP is included as a data resource for milestones and indicators of student progress and student transfer and completion. The tool aims to provide organized statistics on the progress of students and the role that community colleges play in addressing the nation's economic and workforce needs.

This report examines the importance of effective coordination of postsecondary education in boosting educational attainment and economic competitiveness. This report is a case study of the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), and analyzes the key strategies and conditions that have led to the effectiveness of the Board as a coordinating agency over locally governed colleges. The study, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, found that three sets of factors -- state political and economic context, institutional design, and organization and leadership strategies -- explain the success of the Board. The report includes a self-assessment instrument intended for use by other states that seek to improve the effectiveness of their own postsecondary education coordination to better serve students and meet state needs.

The Road Ahead: Higher Education, California's Promise, and Our Future Economy-A report released in June by the California Competes Council finds that California will need more than five million bachelor's degrees and technical credentials by 2025 to stay economically competitive in the global market, a gap of an estimated 2.3 million degrees from what is expected to be produced without concerted new efforts. The report supports recommendations of the California Community College Student Success Task Force and the Little Hoover Commission and calls for streamlining and improving community college management, increasing coordination across all postsecondary systems, and establishing a Higher Education Investment Board, a board that would incorporate the responsibilities of the California Student Aid Commission and provide information to help advise policy makers and consumers.

Re: Motor Stuck
Just out of curiosity, were you able to determine what the debris was composed of?
Re: Motor Stuck
Wondering that myself, why would a new built engine have debris like this ?

Re: Motor Stuck
Check the head for damage. What ever knocked a hole in the piston probably did just as much damage to the head.
What is the history on this engine?
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Motor Stuck
I didn't find any damage to the head. Debris seemed to be just part of the piston. I did not replaced the pistons and one of them was seized when I started. Could be I damaged it while freeing and it just now caught up with me. I guess the debris was what got it stuck, because once the head was off, I was able to turn the motor by hand. I guess the good news is that this all happened on a cold engine at idle. Otherwise I'd certainly have cracked the head or worse. I'm too poor this winter for 4 new pistons, so I'm going to replace the one for now and do the rest in the Spring I guess.
Re: Motor Stuck
There was probably enough debris piled up to stop the piston just shy of TDC. That's why you couldn't budge it until the head was off.
Re: Motor Stuck
Well I found a used piston and installed it during Sandy. Engine running again, but it does puff a bit of smoke when I goose it. Probably more than usual, but I need to work the tractor before the snow flies so it is what it is. Visual inspection of cylinders revealed no damage. Head is ok and I used a new gasket. To the horror of some, I'm sure, I transplanted the rings which were only one season old and seemed fine. But I did use a new rod bearing. I'm probably due for a bore and new valves, but I'm tempted just to run it till it won't, then worry about it. Thanks for the help everyone. How I ended up with a hole in my piston remains an unsolved mystery. Tonight I plan to pull the plugs before starting again, just to make sure I'm not getting water in the cylinders.
Re: Motor Stuck
What did the spark plug look like in that cylinder?
Re: Motor Stuck
Same as the others. A little black - gap was fine. Carbon buildup was minimal. The engine was seized when I originally started working on it many years ago. Very possible I damaged the piston while freeing it up, but got away with it for almost an entire season. Really it should have been #4 because that's the one I had to smack the hardest, but I probably hit #3 too. Years of mistreatement and overheating may have contributed to weakness in the metal. If I find a new set of pistons I can afford, I'll replace them all - maybe bore it too.

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse: Race to Death ValleyA comic review article by: Rafael Gaitan
If you love Mickey Mouse, you love Floyd Gottfredson. The fact that that name is esoteric, only known by the most meticulous of fans, is a shame that is thankfully being remedied. Gottfredson got his start as an animator at Walt Disney Studios, and in 1930 was tasked with writing and penciling the daily Mickey Mouse strip that would be syndicated in newspapers nationwide. Gottfredson scripted until 1934, but he would continue to plot and draw the series until 1975 -- a milestone of cartooning and continuing creativity. Gottfredson is as influential and important to the formation of Mickey Mouse's personality as the God Cartoonist himself, Carl Barks, is to Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge.
I first learned about Gottfredson in a college class, with the notorious "Mickey Mouse commits suicide" panels extracted out of context. Long assuming they were a joke or an Internet meme, I was floored to learn that not only were they real, but they were even darker and more comedic than that. When I discovered that Fantagraphics was reprinting the first year of Gottfredson's strips, I could not have been more elated, because as much as I love tough-guy sentimentality and profanity, I love Gottfredson's Mickey just a little more than that. And although the title and the character indicate "Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse," make no mistake -- this is Gottfredson's doing and Gottfredson's doing alone. Uncle Walt signed his name every weekday, but Gottfredson is the one that created the crucial Mickey, one was all too different from the silver screen iteration.
The Mickey of Gottfredson's world is an adventurer, a daring explorer who fears neither death or harm when the task at hand means helping his beloved. The opening story, the titular "Race to Death Valley," is one of the most wonderfully sprawling epics ever put to paper, and easily one of the best serialized comics of this or any decade. Spanning from Mickey's home to Minnie's to the vast and punishing deserts of America, we find Mickey and Minnie venturing for a hidden treasure that would rescue Minnie's uncle from poverty. Along the way Mickey also encounters a seemingly sinister bandit known as The Fox, who lurks in shadows but turns out to be benevolent, including guiding Mickey through some traps in haunted house. That's right, that happens... in Act One of the story. Gottfredson's Mickey strip is a vivid and expansive melding of concepts that shifts with unsurpassed ease -- he goes from a haunted house to a boomtown to a convoy as if it was the next logical progression -- the flexibility of the scenario makes for some brave and imaginative jokes and ideas.
Throughout the adventure we discover that Mickey doesn't live in a homogenized PC universe -- this is a world where lynchings still happen, people claim bounties by merely announcing them and Mickey himself isn't afraid to handle a strap or two, including my favorite scene in the history of comics, where Mickey steals two sheriff's deputies' pistols and proclaims, "You'll never hang an innocent man!"
The most remarkable thing about Gottfredson's strips is just how different a personality Mickey carries -- he's kind of a fucking asshole. Throughout the stories he pulls chrome multiple times, including when training a heavyweight boxer for a fight, motivating him to complete his run by letting off hot ones at his feet. (My second favorite moment in comics.) Although his methods are psychotic, Mickey's heart is in the right place. In the infamous "Mickey Mouse and the Egg Robbers" story, he also tries to commit suicide when he believes he saw Minnie kissing the newest businessman in town, leading to the famous sequence of him bungling death that would never fly in this day and age.
Gottfredson's art is superlative. His ability for detailing kineticism and movement is unparalleled -- the desert looks harsh and merciless, when Mickey is taken by surprise he jumps out of his skin and off the page almost and his depiction of nature (rivers, swaying trees, fires) is remarkably fluid and ecstatic. The morbidity of the humor is one of the most refreshing bits, which is surprising to say about a 70-year-old comic, but apart from the aforementioned (literal) gallows humor, the strips are thick and littered with sight gags and wonderful wordplay -- in one, "An Hour Passes" indicates both the passage of time and is illustrated as a headstone marked "R.I.P. 1 Hr." Not exactly the kind of joke you'd see on House of Mouse, but who the fuck cares about House of Mouse ?
If the reprinting of these classic strips wasn't sufficient, this beautiful rectangular hardcover was meticulously edited by David Gerstein, including several introductory essays to each story arc with a wealth of rich contextual information as well as personal anecdotes. Gerstein does an excellent job explaining the appeal and success of the book and the appendage of modern editing into it, such as giving the stories titles after they were published and using that system for easier tracking and reference. There's a grand amount of essays from other contributors as well about the appeal and importance of this strip on their work, and fascinating anecdotes about Gottfredson himself and the strip's crossover success -- the most notable being the campaign to get children to join Mickey's fan club and receive an autographed picture (which is reprinted and was actually sent out!).
This isn't your father's Mickey Mouse (it's more likely your great-grandfather's), and it's a shame we don't see him this way as much anymore. Floyd Gottfredson is one of the most talented artist/gag writers in comics history and it is wonderful to see his talent recognized in a medium and a manner so deserving of preservation. This giant-sized book is only mildly unwieldy, but it is the perfect size to replicate and do justice to every single panel of such a singularly perfect work. I'm not as huge a fan of the Disney stable as I was when I was younger, but I will always love Mickey, and that's all credit due to Gottfredson and his spectacularly effervescent mind. Mickey Mouse is one of the most important and revered characters in pop culture, and no other creator has written him so human, so interestingly, so uniquely fun and vibrant as Floyd Gottfredson has. The cover price is too little to ask, as the stories in this book are a treasury of the highs sequential art can hit.
Rafael Gaitan was born in 1985, but he belongs to the '70s. He is a big fan of onomatopoeia, being profane and spelling words right on the first try. Rafael has a hilariously infrequent blog and writes love letters to inanimate objects as well as tweets of whiskey and the mysteries of the heart at @bearsurprise. He ain't got time to bleed.

On my most recent visit to my hometown of Melbourne, I renewed my acquaintance with an aspect of Australian culture that I had neglected for more than 30 years: Australian Rules Football. Descended from the ancient Irish game of Gaelic Football, Australian Rules has become the national winter sport throughout the country, with the singular exception of the state of New South Wales, where Rugby League is the dominant football code. "Footy," as it is generally known in pubs, cafeterias, offices, homes, trains, buses, and trams, is more akin to a religion in the nature of its following than a mere sport. In Melbourne, more so than any other football-besotted city in the country, the severity of a star player's knee injury is headline news, supplanting politics, international conflict, and natural disasters on newspaper front pages and news bulletins.
In my late teens, after following the (mostly mis-) fortunes of the St. Kilda Saints team since birth, I lost interest in footy as I became engrossed in the performing arts. Even during my decade in television, I fortuitously worked for networks that didn't cover football. After moving to Perth, 2,500 miles away on the Western edge of the continent some 23 years ago, my visits to Melbourne were intensely devoted to family and business matters. Thus I drifted until my late 40s, when one of my brothers dragged me along to see a football stadium his company had been involved with lighting. While I'm explaining how this story came about, I suppose that I should confess to my family connections in the lighting business.
As dynasties go, the Ciddor family does not really compare with the Altmans or the Kliegls. In fact, our family has a history in the garment trade. However, in this generation, after becoming involved with the ambitious musical productions staged at our high school, all three brothers have taken up the lighting profession. Following careers in quite different areas of production, both of my brothers, Braham in Melbourne, and Jonathan in Sydney, wound up working for lighting companies that were absorbed by an aggressively acquisitive conglomerate. In the financial shakeout of the late 1980s, each brother became involved with a management buy-out of their section of the Lightmoves operation. As for me, I went on to teach lighting for many years, and now, as you can see, I write about it.
The stadium that Braham showed me is part of Melbourne's Docklands redevelopment, on the Western edge of the central business district. The project is a revitalization of the Victoria Dock and the Spencer Street railyards area, which had fallen into disuse since the advent of container shipping. Designed by Darryl Jackson, Bligh, Lobb, Sports Architects, the Colonial Stadium, as it is known after the $50-plus million sale of naming rights, is an all-weather, general-purpose entertainment venue. With a capacity of 52,000 patrons in tiered seats and the inevitable corporate boxes, lounges, and bars, the stadium has a retractable roof to take advantage of Melbourne's warm summers, yet provide shelter from the city's infamously inclement winters.
There are nightclubs, restaurants, bars, and a television studio in the stadium complex, and the arena itself has seen the likes of Barbra Streisand, Roger Daltrey, Peter Frampton, and Alice Cooper performing in concert. However, its core cultural function is to host cricket in the spring and summer, and football in the fall, winter, and spring.
The Docklands redevelopment, as with all major building projects in the state of Victoria, was required to allocate at least 1% of the construction budget to integrated public artworks. In addition to placing sculptural work in the concourses surrounding the stadium, senior project architect Darryl Jackson proposed the commissioning of a lighting artwork to reflect the scale of the stadium in the urban landscape. Expressions of interest were sought from the arts community, and resulted in six urban artists being funded to produce full-scale proposals. The successful work, Vox Lumiere from Scottish-born artist Peter McNiell Stitt, was selected not only for its dynamic interaction with the stadium, but because, according to Jackson, "It was also the most practical proposal that integrated well with the structure and function of the stadium."
Stitt's concept was to first of all provide a visual anchor for the stadium in the cityscape. This then serves as a frame for the more volatile components of the lighting. Lighting changes contained within the frame relate to the activities in and around the stadium. The anchor elements are a band of colored light around the stadium's upper rim, and uplighting on the trusses for the movable roof. The variable components consist of a changing play of light on the upper fascias of the stadium. There are a series of scripted states, each corresponding to a particular moment in the flow of an audience's relationship with the stadium and what is happening within it. Stitt's script deals with the audience approaching and arriving at the stadium, watching the play and responding to the game at such moments as the scoring of goals or a skillful play in cricket. The final section of the script is about the audience leaving the excitement of the stadium and returning to their everyday world.
The implementation of Stitt's design was entrusted to lighting designer David Bird, from the Melbourne office of Vision Design Studio. Bird has a long relationship with lighting, having started in theatre in his youth. When I was lighting my first high school productions, it was David Bird, then at Strand Electric, who sold me my first pieces of Cinemoid #52 to put in our Pattern 23N baby mirror (profile/ellipsoidal) spots. In later years, it was Bird who fired my then-teenage brother Braham from Strand Electric's hire department, for doing wheel spins around the driveway in the delivery truck.
Bird's first thoughts for the colored band were to literally implement Stitt's vision of a neon stripe around the building. This however, proved impractical, due to the access requirements for the maintenance of the neon. Bird then turned to his theatrical experience to create the colored band by the use of shuttered profile (ellipsoidal) spots. Bird, in collaboration with Haydn Brennan from Lightmoves, undertook a series of on-site luminaire tests during the construction of the stadium. They established that the appropriate intensities and hue (Lee 132 Medium Blue) could be achieved with the architectural version of the Selecon Pacific cold mirror spot, fitted with a glass color filter. This 575W MSR variant of the Pacific offered the light output necessary for this application.
The initial design called for a single luminaire to cover each section of the building. However, the highly specular metal sheeting which forms the upper rim of the stadium's structure requires that a pair of instruments be used. These have been placed at the classic theatrical 45ø offset, to provide a sufficiently wide angle of view. This problem is expected to gradually diminish with time, as the building acquires the inevitable patina of urban grime and industrial fallout. The rim is further enhanced by uplighting with Moonlight metal-halide floodlights fitted with a color-matched blue glass filter. The floodlights are mounted inside the building, in circular porthole-like skylights in the ceiling of the corridor that circles the stadium. The uplighting on the trusses of the moving roof sections are also Moonlight floodlight fixtures.
Stitt's vision for the fluid elements of his artwork described the light playing on the stadium in terms of color palettes and movement. He talks of water ripple effects with echoes of Monet and Turner that light the underside of the roof, tying it to the nearby Yarra River and Victoria Dock areas. The other major component he describes is a "polychromatic wave of animated light" around the exposed underside of the upper seating. He associated each of the stages in the audience/stadium interplay with a particular color and texture of light. Bird spent some time in discussions with Brennan about the possible combinations of luminaires and effects devices that could produce the range of looks required. During this period, many cold, blustery nights were spent at the construction site, with Stitt, Bird, and Brennan looking at tests of various luminaires, colors, gobo patterns, and animation systems. These were rigged on a scaffold tower by a Lightmoves crew and powered from a generator.
Although the requirement does not exercise them to anywhere near their full capabilities, the only luminaire which could meet all the requirements for the job, particularly in terms of light output, gobo rotation, and prism rotation, was the Clay Paky Stage Zoom 1200. Similarly, the Clay Paky Stage Light 300 was chosen to cover the underside of the moving roof when in its retracted position and overhanging the edge of the stadium. The water effects are achieved through the combination of a piece of shower-screen glass in the gobo wheel and a standard breakup prism. Other effects are combinations of standard prisms with custom gobos, designed in a collaboration between Stitt, Bird, and Brennan. The currently unused facilities on these robotic luminaires certainly offer a wide range of possibilities for future additions to the program.
To house these luminaires at the required elevation and distance from the building, architect Darryl Jackson designed windowed, forced-air-ventilated boxes on stilts. These units have become known as "Ned Kellys" due to their resemblance to Sir Sydney Nolan's famous painted images of Ned Kelly, the notorious armored bush ranger (as featured in the Olympics opening ceremony), and they ring the stadium, as if about to bale it up and rob it. Where the stadium building projects beyond the oval line of the arena, large air-cooled "coffins" on the roof take the place of the Ned Kellys. For the 16 individual Stage Light 300s required to uplight the moving roof sections in their open state, Lightmoves developed its own force-ventilated, acrylic-domed enclosure. All luminaire enclosures are fitted with over-temperature power cutoffs.
Control for the system requires both sophisticated interaction between the building and its occupants, and simplicity of operation by non-technical stadium staff. Andrew Sherar, systems engineer (and Braham's partner in Lightmoves) implemented a two-tiered control system. Martin Light Jockey software running on a rack-mounted Pentium/Windows PC provides the DMX512 data stream which directly controls all 16 Stage Zoom 1200s, 16 Stage Light 300s, and the 18 Dynalite Dimtek 934DMX electrical contactor controllers that switch power to each of the luminaires. The Light Jockey is driven, via MIDI link, by an AMX controller with a touch screen. Sherar has programmed the AMX system to provide a simple, almost technology-free interface for stadium operations staff. [AMX is now known as Panja.] The AMX controller has inputs, via noise gates, from six microphones located above the spectator seating, which are used to sense the excitement levels of the crowd to trigger the lighting changes. It is expected that different crowd noise thresholds will need to be set for different sports.
To the non-technical or disinterested user there are only a half-dozen fairly self-explanatory options on the AMX control screen:
- The stadium awakens
- The crowd arrives
- The crowd comes to life
- Action on the field
- The crowd departs
- The stadium goes to sleep
These options are selected by the event manager as part of the standard operations of any event or venue booking, or can be programmed in advance through the scheduling system incorporated in Sherar's user interface.
DMX data from the Light Jockey is buffered and distributed to the four building cores via multicore shielded twisted-pair cable, and buffered and opto-isolated again via LSC Isoports at each data distribution point. The DMX feeds to the contactor controllers on the moving roof are run in optical fiber, using Optical Systems interfaces, to isolate the network from the inevitable lightning strikes on the roof structure. A second identical DMX512 network was installed to provide the infrastructure for additional lighting for special events or outside television broadcasts. A DMX input network, with LSC Isonode buffering and opto-isolation, has input points in the scoreboard, at the television outside broadcast van bays, and at a services panel in each of the four building cores.
Although I just missed the last footy game in the stadium for the 2000 season (which is probably just as well, as the Saints had another tragically unsuccessful year), I was able to see the lighting system in operation. Under the guise of system quality tests, my brother put on a show for my youngest daughter and I, and the bemused crowd who were camping in the forecourt areas of the building. Such is the fanaticism of the Melbourne football supporters, that club members of the very successful Bombers team were queuing for up to three days: waiting to buy tickets to see their team in the season finals.

Hand delivered from a cousin in Germany.
A - pours a dark brown with a small head that quickly disipates. Nice lacing on the glass with each sip.
S - the smell is faint all the way around. Smells slight roasty.
T - YUM. This is a great session beer. Tastes are mild and don't offend.
M - great carbonation. Makes the mouth happy.
This beer is super drinkable. At 4.7%, you can put a couple down at a sitting and really enjoy. Too bad I only have one!

Awesome looking corked brown bottle. "Bottled on" date reads 10.08. The bottle alone is what made me want to pop it open and give it a shot.
A - Pours a beautiful deep dark brownish red color. It sports an extravagant 3 finger off-white head. Looks simply wonderful.
S - Sweet nose with loads of fruit: raisin, plumb, prune, apple, pear, grape. A hint of spice: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger...a lot going on in the nose. Makes me excited to taste!
T&M - Hello Raisin flavor! I hear ya! It also has grapes, grape leaves, burnt toast, coffee, barley backbone and hops on the swallow, subtle caramel and pepper flavorings pop up. Chocolate is in there on the back end. toffee. coco powder. the coco powder and raisin taste lingers for what seems like forever. nothing off, everything is fabulous.
D - This beer just ripped my face off. It's not a "kick you in the ass" american barleywine kinda face rippage, but a "damn thats perfect" kinda rippage. You rarely come across this kind of brew. It's so complex that i had a hard time putting to words everything that i was tasting. It's a rock solid brew. I wouldn't change a damn thing! I't's so incredibly drinkable, looks amazing, taste amazing and complex, perfect balance on the mouthfeel. This just became one of my favorite beers, and a newfound favorite style. perfection is a word that comes to mind regarding this wonderful brew.
I will most certainly have many more!

Served from the cask at the brewery in Dusseldorf.
A - Pours a nice reddish brown with a decent head that laces well.
S - Malty sweetness mixed with carmel notes. Hop aroma in this Alt was the strongest of those we tried.
T - Taste was a mix of roasted malt sweetness, and caramel. Hop bitterness was fairly high.
M - Light with good carbonation. Crisp and refreshing.
O - A good Altbier that was very tasty and refreshing. This wasn't my favorite Altbier that we had but definitely is one that I would drink again.

Brewed three days ago on Monday August 9th. Popped the half litre brown swing top bottle while watching a meteor shower.
When poured this strong brown coloured alt gave an effortless thick tannish head. From first sip things began smoothly, softly, followed by a pause before turbo charging to a long deliciously lingering assertive finish that was so astonishingly complex but subtle with breathtaking finesse. The finish just went on and on and on and on. Did I mention the finesse?Absolute absolute heaven. Without hesitation one of the very best beers on the planet.

A - Poured out a cloudy, burgundy color with a two-finger, egg shell white head of bubbly foam. It left some sudsy trails of lace.
S - It smelled very toasty! Nice malts with a floral and fruity nose.
T - Great toasted malt flavor. A mild spice from the hops and some sweet fruits added balance.
M - Crisp, sharp and dry. An easy-drinking lager that is light bodied.
D - This is a really good alt. I'm glad I finally tried a beer from Uerige.

3.95/5 rDev -2%
A - very dark brown, nice small head.
S - Raisins, dark fruit - plum or prunes. Heavy caramelized sugars, no hops noted.
T - Sherry-like character, tartness in aftertaste. Pruney with roast character without bitterness. A slight peppery character coming from the hops.
M - Smooth with low carbonation, tingling on the back of the tongue and slightly tart.
O - This is a very enjoyable beer with fruit and tartness, nice complexities, well balanced between roasted character. I'm reliably told that this bottle may have been on the shelf for a while - the sherry-like richness is most likely a result of some oxidation. Apparently when fresher, it is also known to have a brightness to the hops that was missing entirely in this bottle. As this was quite good, I'd really like to try a fresher sample.

Big thanks to Thirstybird for the opportunity to try this. 500ml flip top bottle. 5 Mar./5 Jul. indicated on the label. Pours a hazy bronze with a loose white head that quickly disperses into a skim. Nose really has no detectable smell. Taste reveals a peppery quality as well as a light toasted malt bill. There is a slight, residual German yeast presence detectable at the finish. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body (but closer to light), with a prickly carbonation. Overall, I found this beer a bit difficult to evaluate - in part because I just haven't had that many Altbiers as well as the fact that flavors and aromas didn't really assert themselves.

Purchased and sampled this bottle at Uerige Treff im Carsch-Haus.
This altbier poured a hazy/cloudy amber color with tall, fluffy, white foam that persisted. The smell was hoppy and malty with a touch of yeast. The taste was yeasty and malty, with very light notes of caramel, with good bitter hoppiness to balance, and with light notes of apples and pears. The mouthfeel was dry with medium body and moderate carbonation. The finish was fruity and hoppy. This was a very good and enjoyable beer.

The look on this one is a rusty brown or amber, with a persisting head bordering on beige and lots of fine carbonation and lace.
Smells fruity (banana, pear) and sweet (caramel, honey), slightly sour and toasty as well. Hop aroma is mild, but definitely effective. Salty malt characterics that range from husky to somewhat sharp bring the nose into perfect balance. Yeast is very noticeable (similar to a Kellerbier) and works well with the typical ale fruitiness.
After a moderate sweet start the beer turns bitter and somewhat spicy, with a good malty feel and taste to it and the yeast right behind. A fine roasty note adds depth. When the finish comes around the taste has become intensely bitter and rather dry, full of deeper level malt and bitter flavors. The result is an outstanding and very solid aftertaste with a faint hop note and a little roastiness in the background.
Mouthfeel is smooth but then again also somewhat fierce or sharp; medium body.
This is a seriously good Altbier, not as sweet as others and very earnest.

Customer Reviews28-Jul-2010
Best aspect was that the owner replaced the window that I accidently smashed within a day, and was flexible enough to allow me to stay in another flat until it was fixed.
(eileen , Australia )
The property is very well located, less then 5 minutes to the sand and surf at Tamarama. The pool was excellent to quickly cool off and the home is very secluded and secure. There is a great deli a block away and a bus stop to quickly get into town. You can also get into Bondi in a matter of minutes on foot. A great spot!

They make us feel every bit as important to them as their bigger clients, offering a level of service that is a cut above what other vendors in our experience were willing to offer us considering the size of customer we were when we started hosting with them."
Choire Sicha, Co-Proprietor

"The biggest selling point for me to switch to Datagram was the overall issue of support. In our former cloud support model, we would have to email an engineer, then wait days for a response…and get an answer that was unsatisfying. Our support team at Datagram can literally put their hands on the equipment; they can walk up to the server while still on the phone with us and find and fix any issue right away."
Keith Seiden, Server Administrator
"Datagram doesn't make us feel like just another client. Their team takes a personal interest in our social networking business which is why they continue to earn our hosting services."
Anthony Lopez, Director of Site Operations
Demonware, an Activision Blizzard company
"Datagram's hands on services have enabled us to remotely set up whole environments to support our online gaming platforms for such award-winning franchises as Guitar Hero and Call of Duty. From procurement to racking and stacking, to installing base level configurations and ongoing monitoring – Datagram does it all efficiently and expertly. They are more than just our hosting providers, they are truly our partners."

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
In Seattle Washington, Interbay P-Patch is known as the garden between the bays. It's one of the largest and most involved community gardens in the country and a shining example of resourcefulness and sustainability.
But what if you don't live near Seattle, or any major city for that matter. Well thankfully, the American Community Gardening Association is there to help. They're a great online resource with plenty of information if you want to start your own or simply locate one already up and growing near you at this site: http://acga.localharvest.org/. The main site is a wealth of information and chock full of links to other related resources. In my small North Carolina town, I was pleasantly surprised to find several community garden sites within a reasonable distance. The database is fairly young but growing all the time and many more community gardens exist than are listed on this database for various reasons. So just because you may not find a garden near you using this link, don't assume there aren't any.
Another source to locate a community garden in your area is to contact your local county extension office. Staffed with Master Gardener volunteers, they are the in-the-know gardeners with a finger on the pulse of everything gardening in your community. They're a wealth of information and a likely good source of referring you to area community gardening sites. If you'd like a convenient link to locating the county extension service where you live, here's the link
And if you want some quick results along with a personal recommendation, be sure to check your social media friends online. Between Facebook and Twitter, finding a community garden where you live is sure to elicit some quick responses from people that share your enthusiasm. It's the community gardening experience already playing out online before you even get there.
Twitter is the most responsive networking avenue I know for this sort of search. If you want some answers fast, put it out on twitter. The search function is simple. In our case, simply type your search term such as "community gardening" as follows: http://www.twitter.com/search/community_gardening. From there, browse the tweets and see if any strike your fancy. Or, you can send that person a tweet for more information and you're off to the races. Social media sites like Twitter and Facebook really are incredible resources.
If you think about it, social media really is a pretty good precursor to the social aspects taking place in a community gardening setting. Just as I enjoy my time in social networking, I relish the opportunity to experience the joys of gardening with others. There is a certain excitement and energy in sharing such a wonderful activity. Community gardening is the perfect way to scratch that gardening itch. And I love it for even more than simply the social interaction of a shared passion. Gardens do bring out the best in people and community gardens are a great place to bring it all together.
Strangers become friends and neighborhoods come together in a community garden. It often becomes the catalyst to stimulate social interaction and community development. Quality of life improves and neighborhoods are beautified. And now you have all the tools you need to find a garden near you or even better, start a new one.

Beginning in the early 1980s, new technologies, began to permit evaluation of the expression of individual genes. Recent technological advances have expanded those evaluations to permit the simultaneous detection of the expression of tens of thousands of genes and to support holistic evaluations of the entire genome. The application of these technologies has enabled researchers to unravel complexities of cell biology and, in conjunction with toxicologic evaluations, the technologies are used to probe and gain insight into questions of toxicologic relevance. As a result, the use of the technologies has become increasingly important for scientists in academia, as well as for the regulatory and drug development process.

New! UCL Open Access Guide
Help and advice for all researchers on types of open access, funders' requirements and deposit in UCL Discovery.
Contact email@example.com or email@example.com for more information.
UCL Library Services offers its users a range of services based upon traditional print publications and new electronic resources.
Scholarly Communication is the method and route by which academic information is passed from author to reader, via various intermediaries such as libraries and publishers.
This section of the UCL Library web-site describes the changes taking place
to improve the flow of academic information from author to reader.
The need for change
The flow of information from academic author to reader has been impaired in
recent years by the increase in the price of journals well above inflation,
by restrictive licensing terms for electronic products, and by the introduction
of technical protection measures to control access. The effect of these factors
hindering scholarly communication is seen in cancellations of journal titles
by research libraries such as UCL Library and restrictions upon the number
of scholarly monographs that may be purchased. In response to this situation
libraries are combining to use their collective purchasing power to obtain
better pricing and licensing terms. In the UK, Research Libraries UK
works to achieve better deals, collaborating
with JISC in the national licensing of journals, e-books and
datasets. The JISC participates in the International Coalition of Library Consortia,
an organisation which sets user-friendly
standards for the licensing of electronic products. Action by libraries on
their own is not sufficient to improve access to academic content, and authors
and funding agencies are combining with librarians to look at the way in which
scholarly publishing takes place.
Copyright management
If you write a journal article or a book, and a publisher agrees to publish
it, who owns the copyright? The answer to this question will be important if
you want to place a copy of your work on your web-site, send an electronic
copy to your colleagues, or make multiple copies for teaching. The legal position
is that you retain copyright unless you sign away your rights to a publisher.
Whoever owns copyright, the use of electronic formats is leading to changes
in the way authors and publishers manage copyright, identifying particular
rights which an author or publisher may consider important. Your employer may
wish you retain some rights to ensure that your work for the employer is not
restricted by your agreement with the publisher. If you do agree to assign
copyright to a publisher any rights you or your employer wish you to retain
- e.g. the right to place a copy on an open web-site - can be incorporated
into the copyright agreement you sign.
New publishing outlets
The use of computers to prepare academic work and make it available over the
networks is creating change in the way academic publishing takes place. Traditional
journal and book-publishing still carries considerable academic prestige, but
the need for users or their libraries to pay a high-cost subscription is leading
to the creation of new publishing outlets, some of which carry as much prestige
as the traditional publications.
Some of these new publishing outlets have been created to provide direct competition
for high-priced journals while still using a subscription-based economic model.
Examples are the journals established by SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and
Academic Resources Coalition. Other new publishing outlets
have been established under a different economic model which makes peer-reviewed
journal content available without charge to users on the basis of a publication
payment by the author or the author's grant-awarding body. Two examples
of these new publishers are the Public Library of Science and
Some grant-awarding bodies - e.g. the Wellcome
Trust - support the payment of these "open access" publication
payments by authors from their research grants. The advantage to authors of
this form of publication is the wider readership their work receives, through "toll-free" access
over the Internet. Many authors are also making their work available to a wider
audience by depositing their work in a university web-site. This may often
be done with the agreement of traditional publishers.

Director Scholarly Communication, UCL (e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com).
