Usually the term overated is used when talking about draft picks, or post-season awards/rankings, but by far the most damaging to a team is if they overate their own talent. This leads to waiting a year or more too long to draft a player, or players, to fill an area of need, forcing the team to continually play catch up when drafting, forcing them to trade for talent, and pass over talent on the waiver wire.
This has clearly been a problem in the past for the Panthers. Here are a few examples:
1. They waited far to long to draft help at WR for Steve Smith, and the few they did draft very seldom got the playing time to develop, as Fox prefered veterans, and valued a WR's blocking more than their receiving ability.
2. They were a year or 2 too slow in drafting replacement D-Linemen, allowing the D-Line to age out of usefullness.
3. They stuck with players too long, until they absolutely proved they were over the hill in their last season, before finding a replacement (Minter, Delhomme, etc.). As baseball GM "Trader" Lane said, "It's always better to trade a player a year early than a year late.
You can't put all the blame on Hurney, because you have to beat out the brush fires around you before you have time to focus on fire prevention. That's the jump the Panthers have never been able to make. Great teams like the Steelers almost never have to draft to fill current needs, because they are free to draft the best player available, for what they will be in 1-3 years, not to shove them into a starting job as a rookie. Average teams have to draft to fill current team needs, and not all rookies are ready to play that first year. Poor teams seem to always be drafting to fill the needs they didn't address 1-2 years before. I won't lable the Panthers as poor, but they are below average, because they have to try and play catch up in the draft each year. That's largely because the Panthers over value their own players, and aren't cold blooded enough to cut players at the first signs that they are breaking down.
Did the Panthers turn the corner when they changed coaches last season? Who knows. so far the results are a little mixed, and it's very hard to fix blame on any one individual. Here are some points, you decide:
The Panthers have turned the corner:
1. They finally cut Otah.
2. They cut DT Terrell McClain, their #65 pick in 2011.
3. They probably had their best draft in years in 2012.
4. They had the foresight to trade for OT Bruce Campbell.
5. The signing of RB/RB Mike Tolbert is a good one.
6. They signed DT Edwards after the Bills cut him.
The Panthers still havent turned the corner yet:
1. They should have traded or cut Otah during the offseason, before training camp (maybe they tried).
2. They misjudged several free agents they signed, and cut them (Smith, Tucker, etc.)
3. RR over used his starters last season (Hardy, CJ, the top 3 WR's, etc), so the starting DE's were worn out by the 12th game.
4. Poor drafting in 2011, except for Cam, it was a 1 man draft, Pilares is the only other player drafted with potential.
5. They said they were happy with their DT's during the draft, but then had to sign DT Edwards after the final roster cuts.
6. They passed on drafting a big/fast WR (Hill, Jeffery), putting all their eggs in Gettis basket, then being force to trade for Murphy, because Gettis had to start the year on the PUP list.
7. When free agent signing Smith couldn't make the club, they had to trade for Jones, another backup S/special teamer.
8. They only have 4 CB's on their roster, but passed on several young CB's on waivers (Murphy, Van Dyke, Chekwa, Franks, etc.).
9. The teams top need was an improved pass rush, but passed up the only pass rushing LB who was cut, even for the Practice Squad.
10. They placed some player on the Practice Squad with no hope of ever making an NFL roster (Rosario - too slow for WR and too small for TE, if he adds 30 pounds for TE it will take away the little speed he has. Bryant - had a 78 yard TD catch, but couldn't catch the next 4 balls thrown to him, and played flat footed, not jumping for the ball.). They could have at least added a 5th CB, and added some promising young talent to the Practice Squad, that might save them a draft pick next year.
As of now, what will likely be the Panthers draft needs next year (remember, they are without their 3rd and probably their 6th round picks next year):
1. A good pass rusher, either a DE, OLB, or DE/OLB.
2. Safety, Martin will likely leave as a free agent.
3. #2 CB, unless Norman wins the job this season (Munnerly will be a free agent), then they will only need a backup CB.
4. NT (Edwards will be 34 years old), DT (the new Edwards will be 32 years old), or both.
5. LOT replacement for Gross, this may have to wait for the 2014 draft.
6. ROG to backup/replace Hangartner.
7. A Backup TE (Barnidge and Hartsock will be free agents).

It's already been in the lower 30s, and a cold north wind made it feel even colder in some areas with wind chills in the 20s. We know then, it's time to bundle up and protect exposed plumbing, but should the same precaution be given to
plants? Chris Weatherford is the manager of the Houston Garden Center on the West Loop.
"If its gonna get below freezing, you should definitely have stuff over your patio. Anything on your patio, you might want to get some freeze cloth for that. Other than that, your shrubbery and stuff like that, we still haven't seen extensive freezing for the period of time that would take to get where we got last year, where we had a lot of problems for so many hours below freezing. But with it like it is right now, there's not much that the homeowner would need to worry about, other than stuff that's on their patio."
For cold-sensitive outdoor plants, Weatherford says to put down some extra mulch, in addition to covering them with a cloth fabric of some kind to shield the plants from wind and frost.
PH : "So, the tell tale sign of something that's gonna significantly affect your tender vegetation would be what?"
Weatherford : "Extended period of time below freezing. If you have a temperature thats below 32 for many hours, then you've got a problem. That's when you definitely need to be getting some freeze cloth, anything that you can do to cover those plants, get them out of the wind and warm them up as much as possible."
Don't use plastic because when the sun comes out it could "bake" your plants. Water your plants before the next freeze to keep them from going into stress. I talked to some of Weatherford's patrons like Rick & Celia Stewart, to see if they
protected their plants from Tuesday's cold snap.
"No, our backyard's enclosed enough that generally between the pool and house, it generates enough heat, unless it gets quite a bit colder than this."
PH: "Was this past cold snap something that plant lovers should have been worried about, do you think?"
Stewart: "Well, I didn't think it was gonna be, but it got colder than what I'd originally heard, and stayed cold longer. So yeah, probably. Yeah, but we've lost a lot of plants. Last year was a really bad year, we lost most of the pot plants you know, and sometimes you just go out, I let them freeze back, and either grow out next year, or plant new ones."
If you want to avoid buying new plants during a freeze, experts say look no further than the linen closet, but stick with cloth. As plant manager Chris Weatherford likes to remind his customers.
"You know, you gotta remember the three P's: pets, plants and pipes.

Prison closure not a reflection of jail or staff
Shock plans to close Northallerton Prison have led to an early morning meeting between jail staff and union leaders.
A total of 205 staff and contract jobs are set to go as a result of the closure.
Northallerton and three other prisons are set to close, making way for two new 'super jails'.
The government says the closure is nothing to do with the quality of the prison or its staff.
They say it is about getting the taxpayer the best value for their money.

The case was painting Thiago summer soap opera but it is closed for good, and also comfortable for the three parties involved. That is, Thiago Barca out , which was what I wanted, it goes to Bayern Munich that fulfills a request of his coach, and Barcelona draws from more of what was going to get paid only if the clause termination.
Still, the operation is still bad for Barcelona and gives new arguments handful of critics of Sandro Rosell. First, it is a mistake to sell a player with the potential of Thiago at a low price for not having a good clause shielded, is a mistake not to have gotten Thiago wants to be in a club like Barca, and it is a mistake to the team without much quality midfielder, but the jewel in the quarry.
For Thiago, but within minutes, was an alternate luxury for the Barca midfield. A midfield vulnerable now because Iniesta and Cesc is rare season in which there are injured, and Xavi Hernandez already has a loaded old to 60 matches in a season, in addition to that players with a view to the World will be the last of the golden generation, always want to get in the best conditions for this tournament.

I want index.php to replace index.htm as the default document on a directory structure.
Is that posibe? how?
Try it and see if it works first of all (delete your index.htm and upload your index.php). If it doesn't, then contact the server administrator and ask him to change it (presuming, of course, that you're allowed to use php with your current account).
Daniel Irvine
f-free - Free Stuff and Freebies!
Do not delete the index.html, just edit it to make it forward to the index.php file using Meta Refresh tags. That is probably the easiest and fastest way that I can think of.
Or I think you could use .htaccess files, though I am not sure about that.

[This message has been edited by Matt Kaufman (edited February 05, 2000).]
couple of ways
1. edit a .htaccess file in the home directory and put the following :
DirectoryIndex index.php
2. link the html to the php .. you would need to telnet to the server to do this.. after deleting the html, telnet in, cd to the directory , and type
ln -s index.html index.php
3. ask the administrator of the server to add index.php to his apache config file in the "DirectoryIndex" directive
have a nice day
Kryogen Networks - when you want something else
isn't there a way to change it for onlu some directories?
When I had this problem I just sent an e-mail to the friendly 24/7 technical support department at my web hosting company (http://www.westhost.com/). In five minutes they changed it for me.

Explains how religion not only influences politics, but is also influenced by politics
Provides perspectives from several different religious traditions
Half of book is on Christianity; more diversity might have been better
Analysis of how religion shapes political power
Exploration of how how religion shapes itself in relation to political power
Ten essays on different religions and their political contexts
Book Review
This is a complex pair of questions because every religion is different and every religion will find itself enmeshed in different political situations. Thus, no simple set of answers suffices - the reason, presumably, why Jacob Neusners recent book Gods Rule: The Politics of World Religions was created as a series of essays by different authors.
The problem for the relationship between religion and politics is that, whatever the specific context, both are fundamentally about power. Religions tend to be very comprehensive in their claims on a persons life and in the spheres of experience which they address. They are then necessarily about power, just as is politics, which is itself a means of organizing social forces for one end or another.
One might imagine that because both are about power, they might conflict with one another in the exercise of that power; while this is true, the possibilities for conflict can be much more subtle than that. As William Scott Green explains in the books introduction:
- A religion cannot persist if it cannot explain how the exercise of coercive power in the world of immediate experience conforms to, is encompasses by, or at least does not refute the religions own theory of how things are or ought to be. Whether or not a religion itself can legitimately deploy force to compel behavior, it must be able to explain how such force is used in its own world. It must show its adherents that it is not mistaken about the world.
But what sort of relationship do force, power, and politics have with religion?

Tradition has one sane purpose and that purpose is to bring some sort of advantage to the group, culture or society sanctioning the institution. Otherwise tradition is just for tradition's sake and it becomes trite and saccharine. Look no further than the execrable savages 9.6 miles to the north. Their adorable traditions have bestowed their star-crossed fan-base with successful failure for all or parts of three centuries.
Tradition should bring value to a culture and tradition is best if it is a tradition of adaptation that allows for breathtakingly enlightened phenomenon like exploding scoreboards , disco riots, dwarfs in the batter's box, drunk clown's roaming the stands with buzzing noses, ecto-cooler-vomit-hued mascots, showers on the concourse and mainly for the purposes of this article—unstable monkey suits.
The White Sox franchise has been around since the 19th century, it's first iteration being the Sioux City Cornhuskers. Charles Comiskey purchased and moved the team to the godforsaken hellhole St. Paul, Minnesota and eventually, in 1900, to Chicago where he appropriated the Cubs previous nickname--the White Stockings.
Since 1900 the team has had 10 different uniforms and no uniform has lasted as long as the current NY Yankee bastardization. I understand Renisdorf's modus operandi has been to bring stability to the franchise following decades as a travelling circus of merrymaking Punchinellos--but for good, bad or indifferent the organization has moved away from the Veeck days and honestly, I find it difficult and embarrassing to purchase current White Sox apparel.
The jersey's might be the most boring jersey's in the league and the fact they are so similar to the Yankees traditional uniforms is downright infuriating at times. The olde English font of the Sox screams false tradition and reeks of "new money". The pinstripes are offensive to modern sensibilities. The color's silver and black were a product of the early 90's when every middle-school kid desired a Starter jacket with gang colors. You had your choice of the Charlotte Hornets, the San Jose Sharks or the Chicago White Sox. Without NWA we may never have had these uniforms forced upon us in the first place. The road's are brutal in their monotone cursivenashishness and make me want to tie a bolder to my ankle prior to jumping off the Chicago Skyway into the Calumet River. It's what I would wear to go sort parts in a factory. The hat is what the IRS would wear if they had a softball team. The whole package seems like it won a uniform contest where the judges were all actuaries and attorneys.
Did you say uniform creation contest!? Thats a hell of an idea. In the spirit of what Renisdorf did back in 1981, I propose a fan driven uniform contest here at SSS using MS Paint. Please contribute your designs. The winner gets to choose from a prize pool of 1.) Jose Abreu Shirsey, 2.) White Sox Shirsey with your SSS handle on the back and your choice of number 3.) a Montgomery Biscuit New Era Fitted Hat OR 4.) somehow having your design made into an actual shirt. I reserve the right to declare that they all suck and that no one wins but I really don't want that to happen.
Here is my idea below, as you can see I consulted with Ralph Lauren:

UW's Berggren named Naismith Award finalist
University of Wisconsin senior forward Jared Berggren has been selected as one of 30 finalists for the 2013 Naismith Award. The award is given annually to the college basketball player of the year.
Berggren has started all 27 games for the Badgers this season and leads the team in scoring (11.9 ppg) and ranks second in rebounding (7.0 rpg). Berggren is one of just three players to rank among the Big Ten's top 20 scorers and top 10 rebounders.
With three more blocked shots, Berggren will surpass Rashard Griffith's career blocks (124) record at Wisconsin,. On the season, Berggren ranks second in the Big Ten with 1.9 blocks per game.
This is the third year in a row that Wisconsin has had a player selected as one of 30 finalists for the award as Jon Leuer (2011) and Jordan Taylor (2012) were previously recognized, but neither won the award.
Ultimately, the Naismith Trophy voting academy will narrow down the list to four finalists. The Naismith Men's College Player of the Year presented by AT&T will be awarded on April 7, 2013 in Atlanta.
The Badgers have had two players in school history be named a finalist for the award, Devin Harris in 2004 and Alando Tucker in 2007.

but...in a garage his only other alternative would have been to lower the entire floor 18". It's a no-win situation, and even with the swing joints crooked pipes don't help w/ the professionally installed look. You end up putting a drop header on it or was their enough height anyway?

Cutting crooked threads.....That made a smile come to the face. Havent done that in years, not that we dont have a need for it but I just try to plan in a swing joint. How many of you ever used the old "take it out and beat it on the curb" method? That was one of my dad's. A good buddy of mine, we were apprentices together. My dad took him on a job, handed him a short piece of pipe with a black cast 90 hand tight on one end and simply said "go outside beat this on the curb" My Buddy was dumb founded, but he did it. Told me later that he thought he must a did something wrong and my dad just wanted to get him out a the way. Man did I laugh over that.... The good old days....

utica crooked threadsI've been installing these boilers for thirty yrs. The crooked tappings are not new. I usually use a short nipple a skim tee at a 45 degree angle and a 45 pointing up, solves the problem every time. They really are great boilers steam boilers though.
Charlie from wmass February 18, 2009 @ 3:49 PM
Contact this userYep sounds like the oster I have in the shop. 4 legs of 1" iron pipe. We keep it in case the 300 rigid has an issue. only needed to use it once when the switch in the rigid, now 40 years old, burnt out. Of course in the middle of a gas piping job.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

BobYes the tappings were on the side of the boiler, both 2 inch and both were needed because it was a 250+ in boiler going into a 3inch main. Dimension A was still over 30 inches and a swing was placed at the top of dimesion A heading to the rear of the boiler and then swung again to the left side of the boiler pickiing up the second riser and then a drop equalizer directly in line with the 2 inch return tap. How long would it take for your guys to put a gunner in the tapping and make sure the tap set square....2 minutes maybe 3. Do you know how long it takes a mechanic to try to make it look square....shimming up half the boiler to try to split the difference ! Cutting a crooked thread! Trying to shift the gas pipe and water feed pipe a little bit to try to mask the poor workmanship! Not to mention the fact that if your tappings are straight I could cut all the near boiler piping in the shop, in the heat,with just the dimesions on the cut. But when they are pitching like a ski slope it is hard to tell how long the next piece will be without actually fitting it!

Utica boilerAre the tappings off the sides of the Utica? If not couldn't you use swing joints? They are required anyway. You are not supposed to put a steam boiler up on a pad, were you still able to get enough height from the top of the boiler to the steam main?

Piped in a Utica steamboiler today. The old boiler was in a garage and was red tagged by local gas company. New boiler had to be lifted 18 inches in order to remain in garage. Anyway I thought I would give another supply house a shot at the boiler and they sold me a Utica. After I got the boiler up on the 18 inch high pad and started piping I realized the supply tappings were so crooked it made me sick. Have American cast iron foundries become so lame they cant even tap a section at a right angle? Of course it being in the 20s today and all the damn labor it took to get the thing up I wasnt going to remove it. Sad to say but just another example of the sad crap this country puts out.

65Ri have all i can handle with the younger dudes cutting a standard thread correctly with the 65R. THEY ALL PREFER A DROP HEAD. Way too boring ....no challenge !! when i started the stocks were not jam proof. ever see a stock & universal cutting a thread on 4 " pipe lock up and spin a ridgid 400 in a tight corridor . heavy duty !!! lol

Yep, a few times,,years ago my Dad was lucky enough to have a power drive. Can`t remember the make(not Ridgid), no speed chucks then,, there were 3 holes in-it where you inserted an 18"(or so) machined round bar and hit with the hammer to tighten on the pipe.
Maybe we should start another thread about "old threading tools"? LOL.

teamworkno, wrong grasshopper. i was simply trying to help a fellow tradesman solve an annoying problem. and i was a union guy local 1 bklyn & probably before you were born. something wrong being a union plumber ? great apprenticeship program , maybe you should look into it. then when you learn the trade you can get your license & open a business the way i did or not. btw everyone knows a crooked thread is not the premier method but sometimes a trick of the trade will get you out of a bind. its called experience.

Last week, I had the privilege of joining our reporter Valerie Chinn when she made a jump with the U.S. Army's parachute team, the Golden Knights.
And it was a privilege to get a close-up look at such incredibly talented and disciplined young people who represent the U.S. military so positively.
You don't become a Golden Knight just by signing up. You have to earn your way on to the team. And it takes a lot more than impressive parachuting skills.
Each of these men were the very model of professionalism. Throughout the entire - sometimes scary - day, they made us feel safe and secure. And it was clear they took tremendous pride not just in their abilities, but in themselves as people.
There was never an ounce of disrespect - no clowning around, showboating or profanity. Just a no-nonsense, responsible attitude toward the job they were there to do, combined with a genuine friendliness.
The Golden Knights are certainly exceptional. But I don't believe they're the exceptions to the rule. I think the vast majority of the men and women in America's military share the same kind of pride, professionalism and love of their country.
I hope we'll all remember that when they finally return to their normal civilian lives. Because they certainly deserve to get as good as they've given.
I'm Bill Lamb, and that's my...Point of View.

Georgia State kicks off their inaugural season next Thursday Night at the Georgia Dome. It'll be the sixteenth I-AA game played in Atlanta since 2000. All other games featuring I-AA squads have been against Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium or the Atlanta Football Classic.
The average attendance for a Tech home game since 2003 has been 50,131 people (91% capacity). Since 2001, Tech hasn't sold out any of its seven I-AA games with an average attendance of only 44,158 fans (80% capacity). Tech's first I-AA opponent of the 2000's was Citadel in 2001 followed by three games against Samford from 2004-2007. Jacksonville State visited BDS in 2008 and 2009. And Gardner-Webb, of course, was the worst win of the 2000's...
The average score for a I-AA game at Bobby Dodd Stadium since 2001 has been 37 to 10 as Georgia Tech has had relative ease dispatching I-AA's minus Gardner-Webb. The average temperature of I-AA kickoffs has been in the mid 80's so it hasn't been great football weather, which probably attributed to the lull in attendance as well. An average kickoff time of 3PM isn't too bad.
What do you think about I-AA opponents? Do you go to Tech vs. I-AA games? Do you hate early kickoffs or hot August/early September kickoffs? Are you going to the First Georgia State football game of all time?

Say what you want about jam bands and some of the noodly bullshit that comes along with it, but this is a fun and well-run festival. Very small and low key, and usually lots of good bands. This year will be no exception.

Part 7 in our series, about the advisory board of fcpp. Here are all the previous parts:
(Part 1 Ya gotta have friends; Part 2 Guild of Calamitous Intent?; Part 3 Think Tank Circle Jerk; Part 4 Dueling Banjo's; Part 5 Frank Luntz - cunning linguist, Part 6 Follow the bouncing Ball Frank Frink wrote this piece last night about The Heartland institutes attempts to add some junk to our kids educational diet: They're Blinding Us With 'Science-y'
Today's installment is about two members who are both from New Zealand.
I'll start with Ruth Richardson, a member of the National Party, she was elected in 1981 to the parliament. She became the Minister of Finance when that party came to power in 1990.
When the elections came in 1993, the National party held onto power by the margin of 1 seat. Apparently there was a widely held belief that they nearly lost because of Ruth Richardsons WILD popularity. Hell, if you had a whole economic scorch and burn policy named after you.....
"Ruthanasia" .
Anyway. Ms Richarson, like so many in this series, is also plugged into the Think tank/foundation/institute axis of evil. Ready? From the Wiki. Don't bother clutching yer pearls. Get yer rosary. Or anything alchoholic.
Do you hear those Banjo's again?
Reganomics, Ruthanasia......Ahhhhhhh. The Chicago school......
Another Former New Zealand politician, Sir Roger Owen Douglas is also on the think tank circuit...He is the Roger in "Rogernomics". (these people do leave a lasting impression!) He even has an award named after him...
After Roger's retirement he discovered speaking engagements for places like The Centre for Independent Studies. They also have people like this:
And now Rogernomics, and Ruthanasia, are both proud members of.....The Frontier Centre for Public Policy.

Caught up, way up
Well, I felt like a break from physics, and started leafing through old scripts and so stumbled upon this text from last New year's show. Thought what the hell, people had fun there, maybe it can amuse someone more so I translated it. It doesn't work perfectly with the song, but with a bit of cheating and the odd long note wailing it's singable.
The background of the lyrics is the fact that we built the show on what happened in the neighbourhood during 2008, and believe me, with a theme like that in southern Sweden you cannot let the merry little gusts of wind we've been having slip through unnoticed.
I'm not telling what song I'm parodising just yet; any Swede would see it at the chorus but I'm curious to see if anyone here can pick it up.
Did you thought is was over now?
That excitement had run out
Time to slow right down
Oh, what you must realize
Where theres a chance for laugh
Thats the peg for our hat
Feel the pull from a wild and raging ocean
Im in the middle of a living hurricane!
Im caught up in a storm wind
Trapped in it
Nothing here can hinder it
When its blowing through our lands
Im caught up in a storm wind
Night and day
Here is only it and we
And the light the sky has now turned off
It is time to get prepared
Houses that have gone
Will never come back to us
Feel that windy drag
I scrabble at the door
Wonder if I have the time?
With great longing leave I my pleasant home
Free in a way but still bound, high over my neighbours roof
Im caught up in a storm wind
Trapped in it
Nothing here can hinder it
When its blowing through our lands
Im caught up in a storm wind
Night and day
Here is only it and we
And the light the sky has now turned off
We go, together
Through debris and fallen trees
It is, something strange
When you recall
Forest where theres a skyline!
Is it the Swedish version of the Wizard of Oz? It sounds like we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
That's not a bad translation really. I don't know if I'd have caught humor in it without you mentioning it, but I can hear it that way now. Thinking of this might ease my mind when we have the harsh winds and I'm worrying about the trees and barn coming down.
Well since I'm here I might as well post the song being parodised. Man, that key damn nearly killed my vocal chords at the last chorus, but I'm definetly keeping it in the repetoire. The wig still hangs in the wardrobe...
Nothing like pep and disaster to make a tune. :)

One Direction is Pepsi's newest pop star.
The soda company is partnering with the boy band and NFL star Drew Brees for an ad that will debut this week. The clip shows One Direction and Brees in a head-to-head competition for a can of Pepsi. Brees also performs with the group. It's part of Pepsi's "Live for Now" campaign, which has also featured Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry.

PepsiCo Inc. increased its media spending in the United States by more than 40 percent during the second quarter compared with a year ago. After losing market share to the Coca-Cola Co. in recent years, the company has been pouring more money into marketing in hopes of bolstering its flagship soda. In the past, Pepsi has filmed ads with Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Beyonce.
One Direction, the platinum-selling British quartet, had a hit this year with the pop song "What Makes You Beautiful." They'll release their sophomore album, "Take Me Home," on Nov. 13.

Brees is the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. The 33-year-old broke a NFL record by throwing a touchdown pass in his 48th straight game Sunday, eclipsing the mark of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass set by Johnny Unitas from 1956-60.
