You do realize that in back-to-back posts, you state that people on this site are dumb for wanting the GM to have signed Harrison to a long-term deal (which is putting them in "cap hell")... and then turn right around and say to keep Harrison "because he is one of the best on defense."
Which is it?
Regardless, Harrison being GREAT is exactly why he was given a long-term deal. That is exactly why Troy was given a big deal. That is exactly why BB was given a huge deal.
It isn't like the GM is signing Will I am GAY to monster deals. It isn't like the GM is re-signing Justin Hartwig. It isn't liek they are throwing money at LaMarr Woodley... oh.
Really though, if the GM had cut Troy in his prime (in order to save money), Steelers fans would have KILLED him!!!
Yes, the contracts were pushed back... and now... some of those "used to be great" players will be cut. It was Ward & Farrior last year... and more WILL be cut this year.

"Independent Eritrea"
A crumbling nation and a tragedy, born of baseless fear,
meaningless Hatred and a mountain of lies
Ghirmay Yeibio
Part 1
For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and they that are led by them are destroyed.
Isaiah 9:16 (KJV)
On the 19th of November, 2012 and 23 November, 2012 Asmarino.com run a couple of articles entitled Asmara's Crumbling Buildings: Let the pictures speak – Part I and Part II which showed the pitiful state of disrepair that the city of Asmara is in today. Like all things in Eritrea, the pictures do show that the land and people of Eritrea are on the verge of demise with no or little hope of rescue. The writer Bana, from Asmara (which by the way I would like to congratulate for the excellent expose, and a job well done) describes the total destruction this way:-
"Asmara is only a shadow and a skeleton of its former self. Asmara's acclaimed beauty and cleanliness is being reduced to a myth under the PFDJ gang in the face of increasing decay of its buildings, dilapidation of its infrastructure and fetid streets. A city that was spared the onslaught of battling armies in 1991 is now under the serious threat of disintegration in the hands of the so-called its own sons and daughters" , and asks the question "What is the PFDJ up to?"
The decay and total destruction of the capital city reminded me also of the complete destruction and annihilation of the Eritrean people by the so called liberation struggle "Sewera Eritrea". These so called liberators step by step waged a sinister and fatal campaign against all segments of the Eritrean people for over half a century. Not only the city of Asmara but also the Eritrean people are only a shadow and skeleton of their former selves now. Who is really to blame ? Is it only the PFDJ, EPLF, ELF or the people of Eritrea collectively.
One can say that this tragic situation came about sometimes with the direct support and participation of the very people who are the victims now. Sometimes it took the form of tacit approval by the Eritrean people who never thought of questioning the motives, agendas and actions of the leaders of the so called "Eritrean independence movement". As things deteriorated from bad to worse the people kind of gave it silent consent and accepted the state of Affairs without any meaningful objection. Some were even apologetic for the actions of the very mafia group which was devouring them and their children.
A significant portion of the Eritrean people with or without understanding gave the Asmara mafia group an unrestricted power and unconditional authority to act at its own discretion during the 30 years liberation struggle and during the last 21 years as a government of a sovereign nation. This Carte blanche authority bestowed upon Isayas and his hoodlums enabled him to impose upon them his own agenda unrestricted.
Eritrea as a nation and its people find themselves at a cross roads. Their young nation which appeared on the map of the world as a sovereign state only a couple of decades ago is on its death bed breathing it's last breath. The so called "independence war" which was supposed to bring an end to the "suffering of the people" has in fact aggravated the agony of the people to such unprecedented and hitherto unheard level. In fact Eritreans are worse off than when they started the liberation struggle.
Courtesy of their so called liberators, Eritreans have either become slaves and surfs in their homeland, or are languishing in the countless prisons and dungeons or have been forced to be stateless sojourners scattered around the globe. Tens of thousands were killed and maimed in the adventurist war of the Asmara government or perished in the Sahara desert, their organs harvested in Sinai, or drowned in the high seas of the Mediterranean.
Eritrean parents, stunned by the turn of events and the tragic fate of their beloved sons and daughters, are groaning in despair and wailing in agony day in and day out. In their twilight years their life filled with tragedy are going down to their graves with sorrow. In some cases there is no one to give them a decent burial. Their children who were supposed to take care of them and bury them in dignity are either dead, imprisoned or somewhere in the world looking for asylum. Thousands of parents most of them aged and infirm are imprisoned accused of facilitating the escape of their children.
Every Eritrean in all walks of life is affected severely. Like cancer, suffering and misery has spread in every life of Eritreans. The demise of the Eritrean nation, barring an unforeseen supernatural miracle, looks inevitable. Eritreans who were a free people before the start of the so called liberation war, are now slaves of their own revolution (Sewerana), centuries after slavery was abolished in the world.
The simple act of worship and prayer to the almighty is a criminal offence and needs the blessing and permission of the supreme leader Isayas Afeworki who does not tolerate anyone who considers their highest allegiance to God. Thousands including the Aged Patriarch of the Eritrean Orthodox church, are incarcerated just for their belief.
The basic and fundamental God given human rights, like the freedom of opinion and expression , peaceful assembly and association, religious freedom, freedom from arbitrary arrest and detention, freedom of mobility, the freedom to freely elect and change their government are unheard of. To ask for the respect of these human rights and civil liberties would be to commit suicide. Freedom of speech is suppressed to such a degree that people are jailed not only for criticizing the government but also for supposedly "thinking of criticizing" the government.
The Asmara regime's coercion and subjugation machinery are unparalleled. It has built countless and mysterious network of jails and prisons all over the nation and has more prisons than schools. Prisons are filled beyond capacity and empty containers are used to house the overflow. It has perfected the art of torture to such a degree, that the violence, horror, and crimes that are committed in these prisons are very horrendous. No one actually knows the number of detainees in these secret prisons, it is estimated they are in the tens of thousands.
The economy is in shambles, mainly depending on smuggling and illegal arms trade and human trafficking. Health Care facilities have decayed to such a degree, that it is better to die at home than attempt to get any medical care.
Begging has become commonplace in the streets of Asmara. At bus stations, and churches on street corners, children and women are seen begging. These are respected people who had a dignified life, but were reduced to beggars due to the death or conscription of the bread winner of the family and the misguided policies of the Asmara regime.
Prostitution has become rampant in Asmara and Massawa. Young girls of Eritrea had to engage in the world's oldest trade to augment the incomes of their families. Asmara has become the flesh market for Sudanese tourists.
After half a century of meaningless struggle and sacrifice Eritrea has become a vision out of hell and have harvested a bunker crop of misery, death, destitution and degradation. In short just like the buildings in the city of Asmara, the nation and lives of its people has crumbled beyond repair.
As Yosief Gebrehiwot in his article " The Circular Journey in Search of Eritrea: A "World Distance" that Never Was" put it;
"What makes the revolutionary journey that Eritreans have embarked on in the past 50 years a March of Folly is that, after all the prohibitive human cost it required to reach the destination, it turned out to be a circular one that ends exactly at the very point where it all started – and that is, under best scenario. If not, the desperate attempt not go back to the starting point, by prolonging the Ghedli detour indefinitely, will be the end of Eritrea as a nation. Already that quixotic fight against gravity has been the main cause for all the major disasters that has befallen Eritrea in the last five decades. And the latest attempt by Shaebia to do just that (as in the Ghedli detour enforced in the National Service) is unraveling the nation at a dizzying pace, as it is being hollowed out demographically, militarily, educationally, economically and socially".
Yes, Eritrea was hollowed out in every aspect by its own children (deqina) the very revolution (Ghedli) that promised it heaven on Earth after independence.
The name Eritrea has become synonymous with refugees the world over. In Western capitals if someone says that there are a lot of refugees in a given area, it simply means there are a lot of Eritrean refugees in the area. I for one would not be surprised if English word dictionaries like the Oxford English dictionary begin using Eritrea as an example to describe the word refugee. Such is the degree of degradation of the Eritrean people at present.
How did this come about. Why is it Eritrea a land of death and destruction, agony and despair? Why is it that the very "Ghedli" (revolution) which they supported and nurtured as "deqina" (our children) turned on them and is devouring them? and who is going to rescue the people and their land from a sure demise ?
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?" cries King David the psalmist on Psalms 121:1. The verse denotes a condition where there was imminent danger where no help or aid was visible. We can utter the same cry that the Psalmist did and wail by saying "Eritrea from whence comes your help ?" unless we wake up, identify and expose the half a century of deception by the Eritrean revolution "Ghedli".
On the one hand there are the fanatic Isayas loyalist who are staunch supporters of the regime mainly from the Diaspora who even in the face of such calamities are blaming others (CIA, Ethiopia, etc.) for the colossal failure of the Asmara regime. These "Meat Heads" to borrow a phrase from the 1970s American sitcom "All in the family" are "dead from the neck up". They are dull and stupid individuals who have no brains of their own, and repeat like parrots whatever the Asmara government tells them during the numerous seminars and festivals.
Next to the security apparatus of the Asmara regime, this group is by far the most dangerous one, because of their financial and political support to the regime. They also double up as an extension of the spy network of the regime around the world. They assist the regime in spying, harassing, reporting on the Diaspora and fund raising. They are equally responsible for the crimes of the Isayas regime in destroying the Eritrean people. So no rescue is expected from this angle.
There are also the traditional opposition groups who are members of numerous toothless organizations with no meaningful support or constituency. These aging, powerless and crippled group which are mainly remnants of the ELF and EPLF are split into more than 40 factions and are simply a pathetic and weak excuse for a political movement. Thus no rescue is expected from them too. They need to do a lot of house cleaning before they amount to anything.
There are also a new breed of Eritreans that have appeared on the opposition movement arena in the last few years. Most likely inspired by the Arab spring uprising and emboldened by the UNSC sanctions on Eritrea they have flourished in all corners of the world wherever the Eritrean Diaspora lives. All of them have the prefix "youth" in the naming of their respective organizations. They have staged demonstrations, have done their share of exposing the nature of the Eritrean regime and surprisingly, have also taken some bold actions in physically confronting PFDJ officials and operatives in different parts of the world.
Even though these groups label themselves as youth, they actually are not. Mostly they are in their mid thirties and early forties. In general terms, youth is defined as the period of transition from childhood to adulthood. The UN General Assembly first defined youth in 1985 for the international Youth year "as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24, without prejudice to other definitions of Member State (A/40/256 paragraph 19). The Commonwealth of Nations, formerly known as the British Commonwealth, defines youth as persons between the ages of 15 and 29, adults being those between 30 and 64.
Based on the above, it appears that the youth groups that are popping up with new energy on the Eritrean opposition stage are in actual fact adult organizations. These "youth groups" tend to keep their distance from the traditional opposition and prefer to work separately on their own. But they still have not managed to attract the vast majority of their own age group nor of that of the youth which are under 30 years of age.
Neither have they so far been able to come up with any sort of document, program, charter or manifesto detailing their objectives. They are still at their infantile stage. They have not seriously assessed or diagnosed the root cause of the Eritrean problem and most seem to be striving to reform the EPLF and continue the so called "legacy of the martyrs". They are attempting to solve the problem with the same way that miserably failed for the last 50 years. As Albert Einstein said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". They seemed doomed to failure from the start unless they prove to us otherwise.
And there are the silent majority mostly the youth. Those Eritreans who are under the age of 30 which happen to constitute the majority of the Eritrean people. This group is absolutely silent and does not identify itself with any of the opposition group, nor the so called "youth groups". It is expressing its opposition to the Isayas government by abandoning the nation in droves. This is the group that has been victimized and is paying the highest price as a result of the state of affairs in Eritrea. These youngsters were practically toddlers (under the age of 10) when the EPLF captured Eritrea and declared independence.
For this age group the very word Eritrea means suffering, war, death, slavery, forcible recruitment. They have no romantic attachment to the "Zebene Gedli" the struggle era. Their nationalist feeling is very low. In their minds the word Eritrea simply means suffering and death and want to run away from it as far as possible by any means possible. They have no point of contrast with which to compare current situation in Eritrea as they were too young to remember the Ethiopian (Haile Selassie or Derg) era.
They have no lost love for Eritrea and do not care what happens to their home land. Eritrea for them is a nation of stolen youth, camouflaged slavery and a land of one vast military camp celebrating death. One thing they want is to somehow escape to some corner of the globe, find asylum, get married and live their lives in peace.
They have been voting with their feet for a decade, telling the world in their silent way that their so called "independent nation" is hell on earth and not fit for any human being to live in. They are very daring and willing to pay any sacrifice to escape and have dared the Sinai desert, paved a road through the Sahara, boarded rickety fishing vessels to cross the Mediterranean Sea, at enormous risk for their lives to find a safe haven in some corner of the globe.
In their country of asylum they are daring enough to ask for the respect of their rights as refugees and have even staged demonstrations as witnessed in Israel. But they will not participate in demonstrations or other political activities to expose the regime that caused their sojourn.
The words "Struggle, Country, Eritrea, Flag, Nationalism" are empty phrases and do not mean anything to them. They have no confidence in the opposition, for them the opposition and the government are only two sides of the same coin. They measure the so called "Eritrean struggle for independence" by its end result or it's fruit. They are result oriented and "Tegadilekum entay ametsikum" What did you bring by struggling is their answer. There is no quantifiable advantage or benefit that the Eritrean revolution "Sewera Ertra" brought about for them to see. Therefore in their eyes it was a complete waste and a futile exercise in meaningless military adventurism of which they do not want to have any part of. By far this group seems to have a better understanding of the meaningless struggle for independence. No rescue is expected from this corner too at least for the time being.
It is time for Eritreans to begin thinking out of the box that the era of struggle for independence "Zebene Ghedli" defined for us. It is time for soul searching. Circumstances dictate that it is time to propel to the forefront and discuss the hitherto taboo topics and issues that have thrown the nation and its people into an abysmal situation that they find themselves in today.
Have Eritreans ever owned the revolution during the past 50 years or were they used as tools to achieve the personal goals and ambitions of individuals who had an axe to grind? Were they used by people like Woldeab Woldemariam, Abdelqader Kebire and Isayas Afeworki, that are driven only by hate and individual self-interest, with hidden agenda? Who runs Eritrea now and where is it headed? These are some of the topics which Eritreans need to discuss in earnest and define before their demise as a people.
Who were the main actors who embarked the Eritrean people on this destructive journey. Who actually were the so called "heroes or fathers of the Eritrean revolution" like Woldeab Woldemariam, Abdelqader Kebire, Hamid Idris Awate and Isayas Afeworki? We can probably be able to use deductive logic based on their background and persona to arrive at their motives. Why did these people embark us on such a destructive road. And why did Eritreans get gripped gradually with a collective madness and followed them with religious fervor.
How and what should be done to rescue Eritrea and Eritreans from the brink of destruction both as a people and as a nation.
We can safely say that the following individuals played the most dominant role in the Eritrean struggle and could represent the different groups and other actors in the Eritrean revolution.
- 1. Abdelqader Kebire – propelled by extreme hate of the Christian Abyssinian Empire
- 2. Sheik Ibrahim Sultan – representing the Muslims of lowland Eritrea and who was motivated by fear of being n subjugated by the Christian Abyssinian Empire
- 3. Woldeab Woldemariam – consumed by extreme hate to Amharas and the Shoa dynasty
- 4. Hamid Idris Awate – A criminal outlaw "Shifta" who shot the first bullet in the name of the revolution
- 5. Isayas Afeworki and the students from the Christian highland who joined the struggle in droves from the middle of the 1960s up to the mid 70s, and who carried the revolution to the conclusion of its declared objective i.e. secession.

1. Woodland kamuflaža na prsluku kao kod desnog vojnika Media.moddb.com bi bila ekstra. M-10 diitalna uniforma je zapravo "pikselizovana" M-03, koja je na prsluku trenutno, i onda će BF2 jednostavno da je stopi, kako reče Foxfort.
2. Šlemu bih dodao M-10 kamuflažu: Vs.rs
Hvala na sugestijama :) .
Što se tiče kamuflaže prsluka desnog vojnika sa slike, njen kvalitetan uzorak još nisam našao, ali ako nađem, isprobaću i tu varijantu, svakako :) .
Yay! You're back! :D that skin looks excellent! And the face is like... Ultra serious lol. I like that.
Mind if I ask what's that helmet called?
Of course I am :) , thanks :) .
As I know, designation of that helmet is M-97 Armyequipment.com (producer is Serbian military equipment company "Mile Dragic") and I think that it's design is based on some US helmets :) En.wikipedia.org .
It doesn't look to be based on any American helmet I've seen.
Finally you're back ! AWESOME SKIN ! :)
Dobro izgleda, samo doradi prsluk (ili stavi crni) i kacigu.
This isnt a political question but how much stronger is the Serbian army then it was in 1999?
It is hard to say exactly because Serbian army is still in reorganization state, but I think things will be better :) (optimistically) ...

Powerful corporations and right-wing interest groups are taking aim at state judges around the country who have ruled the "wrong" way and who can be tossed out via elections. This new flood of campaign cash is creating a system of justice for the highest bidder, write Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Right Wing
When 'Lesser-Evil' Misses the Point
The American Left is engaged in its quadrennial debate, whether to vote for "the lesser evil" Democrat or maintain political purity and either boycott the election or cast a ballot for a minor-party candidate. A similar argument in 1968 helped change the course of U.S. history, Ted Lieverman recalls.
Bill O'Reilly's Outdated 'Killing Kennedy'
Exclusive: Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard are hoping for another financial "killing" with their Killing Kennedy. But the new book may have a bigger agenda, solidifying popular history behind the Warren Report on JFK's murder and tearing down his character, writes Jim DiEugenio.
How to Save the Middle Class
Many Americans don't know where the Great Middle Class came from. They see it as a natural outgrowth of "free-market capitalism" when it was really the product of conscious government policies, starting with the New Deal. That confusion must be addressed in this political season, says Beverly Bandler.
Iraq War's 'Trifecta of Failure'
Official Washington likes to pretend that the neocon-driven Iraq War "surge" secured a "victory," rather than face the evidence of a multi-faceted failure. But the news of an Iraqi arms deal with Moscow underscores the scope of the U.S. policy disaster, observes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Romney's Middle East Militancy
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney put some space between himself and President Obama on Middle East policies by suggesting a return of U.S. troops to Iraq and drawing the "red line" for Iran around the fuzzy concept of nuclear "capability," notes Adil E. Shamoo for Foreign Policy in Focus.
Romney Tests the Limits on Lying
Americans may see themselves as worldly cynics when it comes to political lying, observing that all politicians do it. But Mitt Romney is testing the limits with his ever-shifting positions and outright lies, notes Lawrence Davidson.
Romney's Incoherent Foreign Policy
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made what was billed as a major foreign policy address, but the speech combined a shortage of specifics with specifics that were misleading or factually wrong, writes William Boardman.
How Petraeus's Afghan 'Surge' Failed
In 2009, Gen. David Petraeus insisted on a troop "surge" in Afghanistan like the one he had overseen in Iraq. Yet, despite the positive PR for Petraeus and his "surges," little was accomplished beyond putting more U.S. GIs within range of devastating IEDs, as Gareth Porter wrote for Inter Press Service.
Mitt Romney Lies to the World
Exclusive: Mitt Romney gave a rousing speech about how his foreign policy would be much more muscular than President Obama's. But Romney displayed again his proclivity to lie on specifics and distort the broader reality, too, writes Robert Parry.

As Windsor celebrates 250 years-photographers and filmmakers will complete a multimedia archive project and print book. Read more
As Windsor celebrates 250 years-photographers and filmmakers will complete a multimedia archive project and print book.
About this project
The Town:
Windsor is known as the "Birthplace of Vermont" and it is the location where the First Republic of Vermont ratified their constitution in 1777--the first constitution in the US to offer universal suffrage and to outlaw slavery. The township was incorporated in 1761 and 2011 is the 250th anniversary of that occasion.
In 250 years Windsor has taken many forms. It was home to the Cornish Colony--which include Maxfield Parrish, Augustus St. Gaudins, Maxwell Perkins and a number of other philosophers, poets, musicians, and painters. It was the first town in Vermont to break ground for the railroad and still has daily rail service to Grand Central Station in New York City. It is also the home to a number of industrial inventions from the hydraulic pump to the coffee percolator. Windsor has also been a manufacturing town, the location of state prison, and is currently home to Simon Pearce's main glass blowing production facility, Seldon Technologies, and Harpoon Brewery. And that brings us to Windsor now...
The Project:
Windsor has a powerful and iconic history, but their story has been lost and in some ways forgotten. This project seeks to use Windsor as a representation of many American towns seeking to reinvent themselves. A town is really the people who work and live in a shared sense of place and as Windsor, Vermont celebrates 250 years as a township, photographers, filmmakers and designers will complete a multimedia photo essay that captures 250 people in Windsor today. Individual portraits of a wide cross section of Windsor residents will be combined with photos of Windsor's iconic buildings, landscapes, and a written narrative by the photo subjects themselves.
The final production will include:
****DIGITAL BOOK: A rich multimedia browsing experience on a project-specific domain, as well as distributed through iBooks and other e-reader channels for iPad and other devices. Costs include editing, layout, post-production, ISBN registration, and aggregator distribution. We will perform all of this work in-house.
****ARCHIVE QUALITY PRINTS: Framed and unframed prints will be created for gallery presentation, resale, and display in traveling shows. We will print as locally as possible to support the economy of the area where we shoot the photos. Costs include printing and framing, much of which will be done in-house.
****GALLERY PREMIERE: A public gallery showing in Windsor, Vermont that will celebrate, educate, and produce a historical archive of a town that has constantly reinvented itself from 1761 to 2011. The target date is during the actual "birthday week" of the town in July, 2011. Costs included printing, framing, publicity, travel, and rental of space.
****PRINT BOOKS: Special edition, limited edition, and "coffee table" books of the entire project will be offered online and in retail stores. Costs are the highest for this category. While the project is about a much larger American story, this is a little town and normal publishing/printing is not an option. We will instead work with Vermont based book makers to create a few versions of the book, including a final commercial copy for distribution. The more we raise, the more we can actually do in this expensive category.
****HISTORIC ARCHIVE PRESENTATION: Digital materials will be duplicated and presented to the Town of Windsor Library and Dartmouth College for archival purposes. Costs include hardware and travel.
****DOCUMENTARY SHORT: A short film will be created during shooting and premiere before the online launch and gallery show to create buzz. It will be made available for download on the final website. Costs include travel, equipment rentals, and paying for final production.
The People:
Chris Cammock is the founder of Sublime Eye Design, a multimedia design firm based in Windsor, Vermont.

Scope & Finances:
The editors of this project have already secured in-kind contributions and equipment donations for what they hope is the beginning of a long range production that can travel to a number of towns for the purpose of creating photo essays and archive-quality books to capture people of a town at a certain point in history. To complete the first project in Windsor, Vermont, we need your support.

The USGBC states that our built environment accounts for a whopping 40 percent of global carbon emissions, and much of those emissions are produced in the service of interior heating, cooling, and lighting. The best way to cut this carbon load is to make our buildings more energy-efficient — the process often involves renovations and investment in your home, but it can save you a bundle on utility bills in the long run. Start with an energy audit and then check out our Green Home Experts Series for a wealth of eco tips – from setting up smart energy systems to improving your interior to upgrading your windows.
According to the EPA, the average passenger vehicle produces 5.2 metric tons of CO2 every year, and the transportation sector accounts for 27 percent of America's greenhouse gas emissions. One way to cut this figure down is to kick car culture to the curb and walk or ride a bicycle whenever possible. If you don't have a bike and you want one, you're in luck – today Inhabitat is giving away an awesome Linus Bicycle to the reader who comes up with the best Earth Day resolution!
If you live far from your work then consider carpooling or taking public transportation. Car sharing networks like Zipcar and Autolib are also taking off around the world, so check to see if any serve your community.

In business process management (BPM) of the supply chain, the aircraft carrier still turns slowly. A report released Tuesday sponsored by AT&T's Sterling Commerce group and conducted by the CMO Council and BPM Forum (neither of which I am familiar with) says:
There are a lot of non-IT reasons for these low/high numbers, which indicate that the BPM value proposition and technologies are not yet moving outside the firewall the way they could. Two thoughts on the research findings:
Methodologically, the survey respondents represented a pretty good mix of industries, but it was statistically unbalanced toward IT firms and electronics manufacturers. Still I believe the AT&T-Sterling/CMO/BPM Forum findings represent a real-world issue because if we in the IT industry are not eating our own dog food yet - despite the years that that disgusting metaphor has dominated press reports about BPM - how can we expect the rest of industry to sit up and bark?

PCP – you gave someone advice earlier in this thread to not comment about the open 60 b/c they didn't know anything about the boat. I'm going to give you the same advice when discussing Top Fuel dragsters. Your comment that they're all about brute strength tells just how little you know about the sport.
Yes you are right about not being interested or not knowing about dragsters but I was not trying to take way the technical achievement of taking a huge power from an engine for some seconds. Call it brutal acceleration on a straight line or whatever it is more adequate. Dragsters and Dragster races are something that has a big appeal to Americans but very little to Europeans that prefer more skillful types of races, like F1 or WRC.

I agree with your take but this can be misleading even if generically right with the exception that the load factor is far superior to 1.2.
It gives the idea that a boat like the Open 60 is more fragile than a cruising boat in what regards the loads that it can take when it is the opposite even if the load factor is smaller and that simply because the boat was designed to take loads hugely bigger.
Those boats are designed to race at over 20K in some of the worst seas of the planet (high latitudes), the loads that the boat has to take and is designed to take have no comparison with the loads for what is designed the typical cruising boat, meaning 8/10k speed on average sea conditions, not the ones you find on high latitudes.
In the end, even with a smaller safety factor regarding the loads that the boat is designed to meet, an offshore racer like a VOR 70 or a Open 60 is much stronger than the typical cruiser. It has to be.
Have a nice year
I knew that the safety margin was much bigger that 1.2 but I did not want to give any numbers without checking: The ones from the keel are mandatory to all. They were of 4.1 and they passed this year to 5.

Sunnyvale, California. May 21, 2012 – iBASE Technology (USA), Inc. (TASDAQ: 8050) announces the release of the "Signature Book™" SI-38 - a professional grade digital signage system packing extreme performance within ultra-compact dimensions and powered by the new AMD Embedded R-Series Platform. The AMD Embedded R-Series APU allows the SI-38 to maintain an exceptionally small form factor, while still enabling powerful graphic performances in many different applications.
The SI-38's 384-core AMD Radeon™ HD 7660 graphics engine delivers stunning graphics rendering performance and supports the latest APIs including DirectX® 11, OpenGL4 & OpenCL™ 1.1.
"iBASE is taking digital signage technology into a new class of powerful and efficient small form factor solutions. The company's new SI-38 delivers stunning graphics capabilities powered by AMD's Embedded R-Series Platform," said Buddy Broeker, director, Embedded Solutions at AMD. "iBASE has been a valued technology partner of AMD Embedded Solutions for many years, and recognizes the clear value in expanding the attributes of digital signage by leveraging AMD's ongoing processor innovation."
In the award winning "Signature Book™" tradition, the SI-38 features a die-cast aluminum Thermal Frame with segregated flow ventilation that prevents the accumulation of contaminants on the electronics. The dual redundant Maglev fans are designed to reliably perform 24/7 duty over extended durations.
The system can be wall mounted or used on a desktop. Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, analog audio and RS-232 serial are standard; WiFi / TV Tuner connections are optional. Up to 16GB of DDR3-1600 system memory may be installed. An externally removable 2.5" HDD or SSD may be installed. The SI-38 system measures an ultra slim 10.6" (W) x 7" (D) x 1" (H) to disappear into tight spaces behind a wall mounted display.

(strength), a Moabite of Horonaim. (Nehemiah 2:10,13; 13:28) He held apparently some command in Samaria at the time Nehemiah was preparing to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, B.C. 445, (Nehemiah 4:2) and from the moment of Nehemiah's arrival in Judea he set himself to oppose every measure for the welfare of Jerusalem. The only other incident in his life is his alliance with the high priest's family by the marriage of his daughter with one of the grandsons of Eliashib; but the expulsion from the priesthood of the guilty son of Joiada by Nehemiah promptly followed. Here the scriptural narrative ends.

Police Arrest the 'Zombie' That Bit a Man at Lollapalooza
It just doesn't pay to gnaw on the arm of a random stranger anymore.
It just doesn't pay to gnaw on the arm of a random stranger anymore.
Rain. It has the potential to ruin a perfectly good music festival.
A man was killed outside of an aftershow party being held for Nas following the rapper's Lollapalooza appearance over the weekend.
Though Eminem's powerful Friday night performance was still on the lips of countless fans who returned for Day Two of Lollapalooza, some of the fest's most intriguing and prolific rock artists asserted their genre's relevance right from the get-go on Saturday.
Just by scanning the Day One lineup of Lollapalooza's 10th annual edition at Chicago's Grant Park – its 18 year as an institution – it was clear that festival organizers set out to forge a weekend that won't soon be forgotten among the countless multi-day music events with increasingly homogenized rosters.
I'll be heading out to Lollapalooza this week in Chicago. I thought I'd get prepped with some cool videos & sets from Lolla's of past. Join me, won't you?!

Ashes ticketing options made available to MCC Full members by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC UK) have been provided below.
If members wish to order any of the allocated tickets, please complete an order form identifying which category tickets you require by 5pm on Friday November 23, 2012.

2013 Ashes Test Match, Days 4 - 5 For Days 4 – 5 of the Test Match, MCC Full members and their guests who want a reserved seat will have the opportunity to pre-purchase seats in the Public Stand. If Full members want to access the Members Reserve, a Reciprocal Guest Pass will need to be purchased for themselves and a Rover ticket for their guest according to the conditions highlighted below.

ConditionsMembers are unable to alter ticket selections once submitted to the MCC and by lodging the ticket order form, commit to make payment accordingly. If availability of tickets cannot meet demand, a ballot will be run and payment will only be taken if successful in the ballot.
Members need to be aware that the club will need to purchase the tickets from MCC UK based on the exchange rate at the time and the total cost of the ticket purchase price will be borne by the member.
Please note MCC UK will dictate what number of Category B and C tickets are allocated therefore we cannot offer a choice. We expect to be informed of exactly how many tickets in each category we have been allocated in December which will determine whether or not we are required to run a ballot before payments are processed.
Please note that tickets will not be posted to Australia therefore you will need to collect them from the MCC UK ticket office at Lord's after you have arrived in London.

Glibc is built in 5.6 and all the packages build after it _have_ to be linked with it. This means if you have bad /tools/lib/libc-2.3.6.so (you do, actually) you have to start all over again from at least 5.6 :( What to me, I would suggest you to start building LFS from the start because there may be problems in earlier packages (gcc/binutils pass1) that led to the empty libc-2.3.6.so (btw I don't know why it's empty). Another question is how other packages were actually built. It's not important but I just wonder what library they're linked with. If possible, run please the following commands to satisfy my curiosity and send their output here: ldd /tools/bin/gcc ldd /tools/bin/ld ldd /tools/bin/bash -- Nothing but perfection pv

They are off, and it might be a cold day in Hell before I watch another Discovery Channel program.
I have stopped watching discovery channel. I didnt really care about the shows they cancelled its just the principal of them doing it. I think its stupid and I have never seen such stupidity from liberals in the government and media in my life. If it wasnt so serious and didnt have so much of our freedom riding on it, it would be laughable. Its insanity.
I would have thought folks would be more up in arms that Discovery aired the shows to begin with both were absurdly stupid ... people would have been better off reading a good book than watching either of those shows
Member: NRA GOA ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Est sularas oth mithas "either way, you were guilty by association, so you were smited...." JD
This is the first I have heard, and I didn't like either of the shows anyways but if this is the case it still pi$$e$ me off and I will not watch anything on their network.
Vote Scott Walker for Governor June 5th 2012
I've watched both shows. I consider then generally silly...especially Sons of Guns...geez I couldn't stand the new son in law...what a bone head. I did like seeing the cool guns, learning a bit about them and watching them being shot. But the soap opera drama was more than I could stomach. The wife on American Guns is an attractive woman and the daughter...yipes one heck of a hotty. American Guns had some stupid appearing staff as well. I often thought about the negative impression these shows give to non gun people...just a bunch of idiots playing with dangerous toys...sheesh. I'll not miss the shows very much but did send an email to Discovery stating that I'll never watch another show and will try not to buy from any sponsors and telling sponsors of my decision.
They should quit showing Les Miserables. It has guns... It's about revolution. We should also ban the history channel, most of the worlds history is out of a barrel of a gun... Or how about quit making these scumbags famous. I was in the checkout line the other day and that scumbag was on the front cover if quite a few magazines. I was wondering how many nut jobs are inspired now...
Arbitrary enforcement of the law is the mark of tyranny. Citizens will always fight against it.
