My gardenia has already fought spider mites months ago. Now, some leaves are bitten off, and the general "there's spotty stuff on the leaves" look is back. (Proceeds to spray plant with heavy pesticides).
The very same day, a minirose (keep in mind they are both outdoors and in pots) had about....75% of it's leaves munched on. Grey spots are everywhere any will turn into holes. I want every insect within five feet of these plants turned to dust. How do I do it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A Star Trek Phaser Gun perhaps? No, hu? Ooooookay. Some suggestions: * in mid-to-ate March, release parasitic wasps, lady beetles or lacewings. These are natural predators of aphids. Go easy on pesticides as these also kill the aphids predators, leaving your garden defenseless. * try knocking the aphids off with a very strong spray of water to get them in control (and this will also wash off the honeydew, if present). Most of the aphids will not be able to return to the plant as their bodies are easily damaged by the water spray. It is best to do this early in the day to allow plants to dry more rapidly and avoid conditions for fungal diseases. * fungal problems can be minimized using cultural controls: in the mornings, water the soil instead of the plant leaves; add 3" of mulch through the drip line; replace all the mulch if there is a heavy problem with fungal infections; water when absolutely necessary; pick up plant debris from under the shrub; separate shrubs to increase air flow between plants; use drip irrigation if possible. |
It was up to 99% leaf hit. Then within *hours*, new buds are forming. Sheez. The impossible happens around me. Some of the typical leaf damage: And here's my Gardenia. Whatever it was stopped munching on the Gardenia, and it too is pushing new leaves on the left, and near the stems. They love me :o) Oh. Those two plants ^^ are my beloved Daphnes. Heh. I wonder why the bugs didn't bite the Daphne... |
you can apply a systemic insecticide that is absorbed through the roots. the insects will still do some damage but they will die when they eat the infected plant parts. |

Officer found negligent in
teen's suicide
[Naugatuck, CN]
(NAUGATUCK, Conn.) -- A Connecticut police officer faces a disciplinary hearing for the death of a 16-year-old girl who hanged herself in a cell at the Naugatuck police headquarters.
The Connecticut Post reports that the Police Commission found Sgt. Rick Smolicz negligent. A lawyer who investigated the death of Falan Fox said that Smolicz, the on-duty sergeant, failed to physically check the inmates every 30 minutes or to designate someone else to do it.
Fox committed suicide July 22, a day after her arrest on charges of robbery and assault. Smolicz and another officer were using a video monitor to keep an eye on prisoners but did not notice anything amiss until a dispatcher came on duty and saw that she was not moving.
The commission could dismiss Smolicz after the hearing.

I keep hearing about these wild planets and I can't help but desire to see what it would look like (safely) from the surface. The one panoramic picture I have of Mars is absolutely stunning - but relatively speaking, its a somewhat boring landscape. I would love to see Titan for example.
Re:Is it just me... (193 comments)

Re:We have these already, and they have a function (130 comments)
You must have misread. I said that the government pays less than the private sector (about 2/3rds of what you can get in the private sector). The difference is that you pay $300 for specialized labor for the duration of the project or system (let's day 2-10 years then you end the project) versus hiring an employee until retirement (2/3rds the pay but for 40 years, plus pension and benefits). So contractors are expensive, but specialized and disposable making them cheaper.
Re:We have these already, and they have a function (130 comments)
Yes, but that $300/hour is cheaper than hiring a government employee. The government will just hire someone unqualified because they pay 2/3s of what private industry pays, but they make up for it with benefits and job security... early retirement, 3 weeks off a year, pension, etc. So instead of paying $300/hour and getting someone half decent, you get someone who might be decent for a decade before they go obsolete and you are stuck with them until retirement. The article makes the contractors sound bad, but put the responsibility onto the FBI and watch a real shit show commence.
Re:From the company that brought you.. (122 comments)
I'm not sure if this is done out of ignorance or that things are so bad, a functioning captcha isn't going to make a difference. A bit of security theater while they tackle more fundamental issues? Either way its hilariously pathetic.

Re:Bad idea (174 comments)
I doubt you reference ALL of them. Books relevant to your major/career should probably be bought and kept, but there were dozens of books (each costing $100+) that I have absolutely no use for: math, chemistry, english, history, stat, etc. None of these are relevant to my major/career and I'd opt for a more entertaining book on a rainy day.

My wife is a nurse in a hospital and wouldn't have health care if it wasn't for me providing it through my employer.
Re:Sad, but I can see doing it too (950 comments)
I'm young also and I have really great insurance paying $400 for my entire family. However, I recently filed a claim over something simple and it ended up charging me $400 for a simple doctor visit because of a loophole the insurance company found in the claim. Looks good on paper until you need care and realize that a profit organization will try to swindle their way out of providing service any way they can. Its very easy for me to sympathize for older and/or sick people. More substantial health care reform will happen in the next 10 years or so since the baby boomers will (increasingly) see how ugly our system is.
Re:Did they add noscript yet? (188 comments)
Switching - I wouldn't recommend it. However, having both installed does make sense. I make sure to install Firefox AND Chrome on every PC/laptop in the home. Firefox is great for casual browsing, but when in a hurry, I find that Chrome is the better browser to use. Especially on older PCs, it starts up much faster. You might not be as safe without the must have add ons, but if all you need to do is check your email, weather, bank account, etc, its worth the minimal risk.

Do the research: he is pushing for education to be spared on budget reform. Can you provide a reference on your point? Besides, education budgets are being cut on the state level - nothing has taken place on the federal level yet.
Re:Hey Republicans: (505 comments)
Yeah, thats what a lot of states are doing and it isn't working. My former High School now is teaching 50 students per teacher. In theory it sounds like it works, but when you do the actual math on running a school (overhead of a building, faculty, etc) you'll find that typical American towns cannot afford to provide anything more than 3rd world country grade education.
Re:Not the school's place to provide those things (505 comments)
The point being made is that as a country we are still spending $40,000 per inmate whenever schools across the country gets their budget slashed. My former High School had to lay off 40% of the teachers and are now teaching the kids in classrooms of 50 students. Its a satirical piece that while students are being sacrificed for the budget, prisons still have cable television and accessible health care. Its a call for more progressive thinking: cut the prison's budget before going after education.
Re:There was an old power grid (68 comments)
For those who don't understand this (insightful) post, its based off a children's novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Was_an_Old_Lady_Who_Swallowed_a_Fly). There is an old woman who swallowed a fly and she keeps eating other animals to get rid of the previous animal until she eventually dies in the end (some versions have a censored ending).

Archived:Opacity effect with the Qt graphics view framework
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
Qt Quick should be used for all UI development on mobile devices. The approach described in this article (based on C++ for the Qt UI) is deprecated.
This article shows how to use the opacity effect using the Qt QGraphicsOpacityEffect.
Qt Graphics view framework offers a convenient way to apply graphics effects to Graphics Items.
This is a minimal application which changes the opacity of a QGraphicsPixmap using the QGraphicsOpacityEffect.
The item opacity can be set with two methods:
- setOpacity(): it accepts values from 0.0 (image completely transparent) to 1.0.
- setOpacityBrush(): it supports gradients or masks
The following example shows how to use a mask to set the opacity of the given pixmap item.
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsView>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsEffect>
#include <QBrush>
#include <QBitmap>
#include <QGraphicsPixmapItem>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QGraphicsView view;
view.setScene(new QGraphicsScene);
QGraphicsPixmapItem *p = view.scene()->addPixmap(QPixmap(":/cappella_sistina.jpg"));
QGraphicsOpacityEffect opacity;
return a.exec();
Source code
You can download the code from here: Media:GraphicsEffect-Opacity.zip

It's quick but not nose-bleed fast, chic but definitely not worth $48,750. Audi's newest TT has outgrown the 200 horsepower provided by its long-serving, turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. And the S tronic dual clutch gearbox upon which we bestowed our Tech of the Year award when it debuted years ago is falling behind as well: it's a sin to upshift at the redline without permission from the driver. I tried the back seat expecting pain and received exactly what I bargained for. The mouse-driven nav system guided me faithfully on a complicated Sunday shopping stint. The magnetically variable dampers - another Tech of the Year award recipient - help handling but they're much too firm to smooth out Michigan's cratered roads. What impressed me most was the TT's new spaceframe that's two-thirds aluminum and one-third steel, saving 220 pounds over the previous (smaller) design. Rivets and adhesives join the dissimilar metals together.

I know the quests have different things.
the jungle tent room
haunted mansion room
and items that are VMK quest exclusive
I will have to go to the VMK site to find the rest of the info.
What Is a VMK Quest?
A Quest is a challenge that takes place in a real Disney Theme Park. You must follow clues to discover secrets that will "Unleash the Magic" of VMK by giving secret codes to exclusive powers and prizes.
Print out a Quest at home and bring it with you on your next visit to Disneyland® park at Disneyland® Resort California or at the Magic Kingdom® Park at Walt Disney World® Resort Florida. Once you complete your in-park Quest, bring your completed form to VMK Central (it's marked on your Theme Park map) to get your secret codes and more. Some of the best and most rare rewards can ONLY be gotten this way. VMK Central is also a place where you can pick up new and different Quests with special rewards attached to each one. (In case you forget to bring a Quest from home, you can always get one here.)
Explore Adventureland. Discover the mysteries of the Haunted Mansion. See Disney Theme Parks in a whole new way as you play these fun-filled games and add even more magic to your VMK experience!
I really didn't have time to attempt to complete one of these when I was in WDW, but man.. I regret it! Has anyone tried yet? And if so, have you won/found any awesome codes?! I'll be sure to take advantage of this by next trip!

I did all three of them and I got every single one right! They were very hard for me even though I am a self proclaimed Walt Disney World Triviateer!! I got like 11 Prizes from that and It was soooooo Cool!!!

Hey Tampa,
I will be your friend! With everything going on in the world today, happiness is all that matters!!! On-line or not!
Actually I have run across Tampa more in VMK than here!!
you should try it sometime Grumpydude--it is a blast!!
Tampa I was there when you got the 240K
I was 4th
not too bad for a beginner
aaww man! How come we're not friends on there yet?
you disappeared before I got to say hi
and some dude was talking to ya
i didnt want to interupt
I went to Magic Kingdom last night after work and did two of the in park Quests. Out of a total of 18 questions, I got 17 correct . I could not understand the last question on the Adventureland Quest (plus it was dark when I was looking). The CM pointed out the incorrect answer and told me the number to multiply by. I gave the correct answer right away and I guess caught him by surprise by my math skills (sometimes lack there of). I got 6 virual prizes and a VMK wristband. Forgot to mention--some really strange looks from other park guests; but who cares--it was a lot of fun and IMO that is what Disney is all about
Thanks fellas, I'm primed up and ready to go Quest'n!
will I be able to do all four quests? Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Frontierland?

The Treasury estimates the measures would enable the government to stay within the debt limit until late February. President Barack Obama earlier signed legislation to suspend the limit through Feb. 7 and end a 16-day partial government shutdown.

Air Force Nursing 2013 - page 29
Hi everyone, I just recently started the process to apply to be an Air Force nurse. I'm trying to complete my packet for the January 2013 (Feb 19-Board, Mar 08-Decision). Anyone... Read More
0Mar 12, '13 by JillyRNYeah, I agree with your point about timing. When I first started thinking seriously about it, my husband was active duty Army, and not crazy about the idea. Now that he is out, it is much more feasible not having a dual military status. I'm only 24, so fortunately I don't have the additional pressure of the age cut off. Thanks for sharing the insight about the regional presentation. That isn't something I have heard of. My only thought about it was that it would be more expensive for them to move someone from Hawaii to a duty station/training on the mainland.
0Mar 13, '13 by carlily0513Jillyrn, you are still pretty young with lots of options, I would say contact another recruiter, it didn't sound like a super positive experence! Hoping that whatever you decide it all works out
Is anyone else on this board a Crit Care alternate?? Just want to stay connected!! Thanks -
0Mar 13, '13 by PMHNP2016Hello everyone,
I'm in the middle of applying for one of the Psych NP slots, my interview is next week. I have a real nice recruiter but she's new to her job & doesn't have alot of info on the nurse corp. If anyone has any info or can give me some direction that would be greatly appreciated!
How competitive are the Mental Health slots?
When does the next board meet?
What is the training like for new Psych NPs in the military?
Thanks for any feedback & I wish all the RNs best of luck for FY 2014 slots. -
0Mar 19, '13 by OBigdog26, BSNGetting my packet started for Oct boards. My goal is to get into a fnp program by Feb or March 2014 and have grad school paid by air force. Is it best to sign up now and get commission then apply for grad school? Or apply while I'm a civilian. I'm in no hurry by any means, just thinking about the future.
1Mar 21, '13 by PMHNP2016You should talk to a recruiter about your options & benefits for going in as a commissioned officer vs HPSP. I'm on the tail end of the HPSP application process. For NP applicants they determine the amount of slots for the FY in October, then they fill on a rolling basis. FNP slots (including 4 alternates) filled up in March this year, Psych, Women's Health, and Ped's NP slots are still open. I had my interview this week and my recruiter submitted everything the next day. Once they receive it in Texas, it gets reviewed & you find out yay or nay (so you aren't necessarily waiting for the Boards to meet on a certain date). The process hasn't been too arduous, but it's very difficult to find out info on the NP process & competitiveness. Best of luck.Last edit by PMHNP2016 on Mar 21, '13OBigdog26 likes this.

Research Report: Global Dental Equipment Market Worth $6.1 Billion by 2016
Posted on July 18, 2012
DALLAS, July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The research report "Dental Equipment Market (Dental Radiology, CAD/CAM, Dental Chairs, Dental Lasers) Current Trends, Opportunities & Global Forecasts Up till 2016," published by MarketsandMarkets (http://www.marketsandmarkets.com), analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints, and opportunities in Americas, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World.
This report studies the global dental equipment market over the forecast period 2011-2016.
The dental equipment market consists of devices used in diagnosing dental diseases/conditions and treating the same. These include dental chairs, hand pieces, CAD/CAM systems, scaling units, instrument delivery systems, dental lasers, intra oral and extra oral radiology equipment, and CBCT scanners.
Emerging technologies will have a great impact over the growth of the market, according to the report, as these will help reduce the overall turnaround time for dental procedures and also improve the efficiency of practitioners. For instance, introduction of CAD/CAM technology has considerably reduced the designing time for dental prostheses like crowns and bridges and 3D imaging techniques have improved patient diagnosis and procedure planning.
Increasing incidence of oral diseases and significant transitions in oral care needs, such as patient preference for painless diagnosis and surgeries, will drive the growth of the dental equipment market. Technological innovations in the field of imaging and radiology will facilitate quick and effective diagnosis. The growing aging population is the major consumer segment for this market, due to increasing rates of oral diseases and edentulousness in the same. Also, rising demand for cosmetic dentistry further fuels market growth. The increasing number of dental clinics and practitioners enables end-users to avail of dental care services at a larger level, thereby boosting the global dental devices market returns.

This isn't a furniture build, but before I found Ana and built a few of her projects, I would never have attempted this! I did build the cabinet, and I think that the board and batten makes it really fit into the room.
I used 1/2" mdf that I had blue cut for me. I sanded, primed, and painted it a white that matched the existing trim. Instead of removing the existing baseboards, I cut the end of the batten at an angle and had it meet the baseboard. Before attaching the b&b, I primed and painted the wall the same white as the boards. A pneumatic nailer attached it to the wall and I then caulked all edges before painting it all with the final coat of white.
This was incredibly cheap to do and I LOVE the end result--although I must admit that it took me awhile to get used to such a dramatic change. Now I can't imagine how we lived with the "before" for so long!
If you want to see the entire process, you can read the posts on my blog:
The sign in the back of the room was also a DIY project that involved power tools:

wow - it looks great! I LOVE board and batten! what is the paint color you have on the wall above it? it's beautiful
Wall Color
Thank you! The wall color is Benjamin Moore Valley Forge Tan AC-35. I was planning on painting over that since we've had it for 10 years now, but I've gotten such good response about that color, I'm rethinking that!
mandylynn523 replied on Permalink
Very Very Nice!!!!
I just want to thank you for posting this... I never knew what it was called. I had told my husband I wanted to do this to our room. And since he saw your Tutorial now he wants to do our main hallway and living room. He was like this is exactly how to make the house look country and clean how you like. So honestly I want to thank you for this and also say how beautiful it looks! You did such a great job and it really does make the built in look so much more like it has always been there!
You're welcome!
So glad that it helped you out! I would love to see the pictures once you are done--if you take a few, let me know! Good luck--it really was easy to do. The most time consuming part was all the painting and caulking :)

Isn't this the built in that
Isn't this the built in that houses the litter box? Genius! And beautiful B&B! I'm trying to figure out where I can do this in my home and be just as in love with it as you are!
You have a great memory!!
Yes, the litter box is behind the fake doors. It has worked out FANTASTIC--I'm so glad to have that hidden now.
Good luck finding a spot for the B&B!
Holy moly...this is
Holy moly...this is FANTASTIC! I absolutely love the cabinet that's hiding your shelf and hanging area. This transformation is incredible...and definitely keep that color!
Thank you so much!
I still love walking into this room because the transformation is so dramatic. I wanted to change it for so long, but I just didn't know how to start until I found Ana!

Republic of Congo 2014
Over the past months, more than 15,000 people have fled violence in the Central African Republic (CAR) to seek refuge in the Republic of Congo (ROC), already host to thousands of refugees from neighbours including the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
On 17 April 2014, CERF allocated US$2 million to help UN agencies in ROC provide life-saving assistance to refugees and returnees from CAR including food, shelter, clean water, sanitation, healthcare and protection services.
In 2013, CERF provided $8 million to help humanitarian partners respond to a cholera epidemic.

Many high school students wait tables or scoop ice cream to earn extra cash, but not Kyle Hobratschk. He sells his artwork.
Kyle, a senior at Cave Creek's Cactus Shadows High School, has earned about $5,000 from his craft in the past two years.
He sells his art — mostly oil and watercolor paintings of landscapes around Cave Creek and Carefree — online and in local bakeries. He's also done a few commissioned pieces.
That business sense is leading him on a slightly unusual path for an art student. He plans to study both art and business when he goes to Southern Methodist University in Texas next year.
"It's really hard, especially in this day and age, to live the life as a bohemian artist. That day is past," Kyle said. "I don't want to be an artist that just paints and shows it somewhere."
So while Kyle said he will always create art, he envisions a primary job in advertising or marketing.
His teacher, Cactus Shadows art department head Robin Ray, wishes him success.
"I've never had a student like him before," Ray said. "A lot of art students just do what they like to do and balk at following instructions from the teacher."
Kyle, on the other hand, seeks out teachers. He follows suggestions for different techniques, tries mediums from painting to sculpting, and has learned how to market his work from local artists, Ray said.
And in the 10 years Cactus Shadows has offered Advanced Placement art classes, he's the first one to score the top grade of 5 on a portfolio, Ray added.
To be more precise, he's submitted four portfolios to the AP board. He's scored a 4 and two 5s and is waiting to hear back on one.
Outside of art, Kyle is graduating as valedictorian, participates in track and cross country, helps document local history through the Arizona Heritage Project and is involved with the National Honor Society.
He's also traveled a bit: His family lived in Saudi Arabia for a few years and is going on a cruise to Russia this summer.
Kyle plans to bring a portable easel on that trip.
"I'm looking forward to it a lot on the artistic side," he said.

Most states in region have stricter policies on firearm allowance.
Legislators and others who come to the State Capitol can legally bring loaded firearms, but maybe not for long.
Beginning Wednesday, a state panel will take a fresh look at the long-standing policy that allows legally permitted gun owners to carry their weapons in just by notifying law enforcement officials.
Rep. Michael Paymar, DFL-St. Paul, a leading proponent of stricter controls on guns, said the Capitol should be like county courthouses, which prohibit firearms. "Security experts have said over and over again that allowing firearms in that kind of environment … is not a safe situation," said Paymar, who earlier this year faced hearing rooms packed with gun owners who carried their loaded weapons in as they voiced opposition to gun registration measures.
Paymar is a member of the Advisory Committee on Capitol Security, chaired by Lt. Gov. Yvonne Prettner Solon. The committee, charged with looking broadly at making the Capitol area more secure, is to hear the details of state policy and, at its meeting next week, comments from the public.
A local group, the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance, which helped turn out supporters to fight universal background checks and gun control measures this past session, has called on its members to once again fill the meeting room. The Alliance argues on its website that "the usual gun-grabbers hope to restrict your right to carry at the Capitol and other St. Paul state government buildings."
In a survey of 11 Midwestern states, the Council of State Governments found that Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are the only states in the region with such an open policy on guns. Four other states — Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana — use metal detectors to detect weapons at the entrances.
Rep. Kelby Woodard, R-Belle Plaine, assistant minority leader of the House and a committee member, said discussions about limiting gun use could get wrapped into whether the building should install metal detectors.
"I think that is the worst idea ever," said Woodard, who opposes gun limits in the building. "The Capitol has to remain open in perception and reality."
The committee, which includes representatives of the courts and other state agencies, has no power beyond recommending changes to the Legislature.
Paymar is among the Legislature's strongest advocates for legislation to reduce gun violence, and lost an attempt this past session to expand background checks to private sales.
Right now any of the more than 150,000 Minnesotans who possess permits to carry loaded weapons in public can legally carry in the State Capitol by notifying police officials of their intention to do so.
Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Vernon Center, Paymar's foil as the Legislature's staunchest gun-rights advocate, regularly carries his weapon onto the House floor. House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, said he has done so, and he estimates that five to 10 House members carry their weapons at the Capitol from time to time.
The number of notifications by gun owners who want to bring their weapons into the Capitol surged earlier this year when the DFL-controlled Legislature began discussing gun-control bills. A total of 148 notifications were filed in the first month of DFL control last winter, compared with 56 filed in all of the previous year, when the GOP controlled the Legislature.
While there have been no reported incidents with the weaponry, Paymar, who chairs the House Public Safety Finance and Policy Committee, said the presence of loaded guns can be intimidating.
"I had colleagues, other representatives, they felt intimidated by the fact that people were bringing guns into the Capitol," Paymar said. "Some have them concealed and others didn't. When I have colleagues and staff, members of the public … who left hearings because they felt intimidated, I think that's a problem."
He suggested that, at a minimum, committee chairs should be able to keep guns out of their hearings. Currently, they do not have that authority.
"I think we're living in a different world today," Paymar said. "The carrying of firearms into the Capitol, the State Office Building, the Human Services Building, where there could be volatile issues discussed — to me, this shouldn't occur. Thankfully, we have not had an incident that I know of inside the Capitol. But I think we should be erring on the side of safety."

Steve Smith on Gettleman's "Evaluation" comment
Best Answer XClown1986, 26 February 2014 - 05:49 PM
maybe i need to bold[cole82ee]"im still going to wait for a non- person like source to confirm" [/color]
It was the Beason part that was ill informed. Beason requested the trade, Gettleman didnt get rid of him.

With Gross now officially gone it would be huge to lose Steve Smith in the locker room. Two veteran leaders gone in a new season would impact the team hard. Talk about setting up for another slow start.... If nothing else, restructure and keep him one more year from a leadership view.
On the flipside it's Cam's time to start stepping up and being the outspoken leader for this team.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 09:59 AM
If Smitty retires, it will create additional $12m in cap room. What do we do with almost $45m in cap space?
He's not going to retire. I think we all can agree on that.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:03 AM
He's not going to retire. I think we all can agree on that.
Maybe, but I would not be too confident. I dont believe that Smitty will go play for another team if we were to cut him or whatever. Smitty was the one preaching about retirement a couple years back.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:04 AM
If we lose Smith which we wont but if we did I will be off the Gettle bandwagon in a heartbeat...I will probably hate David, Steve is like Daryl from The Walking Dead he is the only safe person.
Gettle will then be known as The Governor...
Sunday cant get here quick enough
If i have to choose between Smitty and Gettleman, Gettleman is out.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:06 AM
In all this I am most shocked at Jerry Richardson's silence. Not towards us but to Smitty. JR and Smitty have a super tight relationship. When dealing with a local icon the owner should be the one to discuss matters with the potentially explosive mouth piece that is Steve Smith.
In fairness, I would bet JR didn't even know there was a reason he needed to talk to Smith. He will soon though now that Steve went public and his agent is looking for some clarification/answers.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:06 AM
I still don't think it will happen, but we have a GM who runs the team like a business now (which frankly, is as it should be) so yes, it definitely could.
The best choice isn't always the easy choice.

Blame Gettleman...what else?
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:10 AM
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:12 AM
Hopefully it's all a misunderstanding. I was hoping Gettleman's comment was just a generic answer and there was nothing really to it.
I think this is what it was. I hope this is what it was.
Regardless of all the Smitty Panther for life stuff (which I agree with btw), wtf would we release him? Just from a "putting players on the field" standpoint, who the fug would replace him???
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:13 AM
I dont see the issue. I mean, we give Gman props for being a businessman and shooting straight, but at the same time people are acting like he should put that "business" persona aside and say that "89 is beyond evaluation because..well...he is sentimental to the organization"
Like everyone, I love me some SS. With that said, why should his performance not be evaluated like everyone elses?
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:17 AM
I really Hope the Panthers handle Smitty the right way...in a well coordinated agreed upon way.
89 has bled for this team at the highest level we ever seen suit up in Charlotte. We have yet to see anyone with as much passion, dedication and total focus for improving themselves..beating their opponent...and doing it in an entertaining way.
89 is active and visual in the community and other than punching scrubs in the summer camp(his brand to tell you you will suck and soon be cut), Smitty is what every team and organization wishes they had.
Zero drug arrests, Gun violence, Domestic Abuse, zero holdouts, zero days destroying the QB publically and gets on the radio on the regulular to yuck it up with the local raido shows.
My daughter wears 89 on the soccer field bc she loves her some Smitty..bc she is small and explosive in her own right and ices up others on the regular!
Mishandling 89 would taint any of the positive strides this franchise has made. It would sour my love for my favorite team a bit.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:17 AM
Hate to tell ya guys, but if you don't think Smith getting released is a real possibility, maybe you should ask Jon Beason what he thinks.
I still don't think it will happen, but we have a GM who runs the team like a business now (which frankly, is as it should be) so yes, it definitely could.
The best choice isn't always the easy choice.
I love Smith as much as anybody but the NFL teams with sustained success know when to make the hard decisions. Our last GM paid guys for past production, so you want our new guy to do the same?
Posted 26 February 2014 - 10:18 AM
Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning all wound up let go from the teams they'd given their best years to.
So yes, much as we'd all hate it, that could happen here as well.

Theres a lot thats new about this years Lazerfest, as well as some familiar faces returning to rock the crowd of 20,000-plus fans.
The biggest change is a new home for the hard-rock festival, the Central Iowa Expo in Boone. Lazerfest had been held at the Indianola Balloon Grounds since returning from a three-year hiatus in 2007. The festival had grown about as much as it could at that venue, selling out with a crowd of 25,000 for Three Days Grace and Godsmack in 2010. Wet springs the last few years had also limited parking due to flooding.
The Central Iowa Expo has better irrigation and room to grow. Lazerfest is only taking up about a quarter of the expo grounds, but dont expect the concert to expand to 100,000 fans in coming years.
If you have 40,000 people who go, but dont have a good time, it doesnt do us a lot of good, said Ryan Patrick, program director for KAZR-FM (103.3), which organizes Lazerfest. We want to keep attendance where everyone can still enjoy themselves, see the bands and park. If we just jam people in theyre not getting the full experience.
The lineup for Lazerfest features a mix of new acts, as well as Lazerfest vets. Co-headliner Shinedown is playing for the first time, as is Volbeat, Adelitas Way, Black Stone Cherry, Sebastian Bach and Slash. P.O.D., which headlined the first Lazerfest 10 years ago, is back.
Chevelle is one of the first timers, though the Illinois band has played the Val Air Ballroom in recent years and opened for Shinedown at the Iowa State Fair in 2010.
The three-piece band includes brothers Pete and Sam Loeffler and their brother-in-law, Dean Bernardini. The band also added another family member into the mix on the recording of last years Hats Off to the Bull, their sister (Deans wife), Natalie.
It was all a big coincidence, Sam Loeffler, the drummer, said during a phone interview. We were in the studio and Pete was laying down some falsetto parts for the chorus. Joe (Barresi, the albums producer) said, Nat, youve got a girls voice, why dont you sing it? Since shes our sister, if she hadnt stepped up we would have made huge fun or her.
The band broke through with its second album in 2002, Wonder Whats Next, but the groups debut album, Point #1, came out in 1999. Chevelle members werent the only stars to be associated with Point #1; Saturday Night Live star Fred Armisen acted in the bands electronic press kit, providing a number of comedy characters three years before he joined SNL.
Our producer, Steve Albini, was good friends with Fred, Sam Loeffler said. Fred is a proper drummer and used to play with Blue Man Group. We brought him out and he did a bunch of different characters.
I have hours of other stuff he did that Ive never shown anyone. Ive thought about putting it on YouTube. I think Fred would be surprised to see it. Some of the stuff is probably pretty offensive, but its really funny.
