Power it's never enought, but:
1) With an Intel E8400 dual core I'm able to obtain the frame doubling for PAL DVDs using MPC-HC with FFDShow (audio and video decoder) + AviSynth ReClock + madVR.
2) For the frame doubling of 1080p 24fps (to 48fps) or 25fps (to 50fps) I use an intel I7 860 with a little overclock (same configuration of above, just a different script in AviSynth - less heavy than the one for DVDs).
3) I got stuttering when doubling the 1080p 30fps using the 2) configuration, but I'm almost sure it's a GPU problem for the shader's use that the script does (the Ati Radeon HD 4850 it's not enough powerful, I suppose I would need at least a 5700 Series or more).
My 50 Cents...

Thanks a lot, YGPMOLE.
So, for DVD + FFDShow, i3 2100 would be good enough;
And for BluRay double frame rate playback, OC'ed i5 2500k would be a much proper choice;
A discrect Graphic card (such as, ATI HD67xx) should be considered seriously.
I got you, thanks again!

Hi. I have a q6600 htpc, with a ceton cable tuner, a bluray player, and an amd 6450 video card. its outputing to a yamaha receiver which does upscalling via hdmi, and then to a sharp 60in 1080P TV. I use primarily windows media center and occasionaly xbmc.
I am finding a lot of this upscaling confusing, and would be very greateful if someone could help me. I read in a review that the upscaling chips in receivers do a better job than the gpu. dont know if this correct.
1. on the default setting, does my gpu essentially upscale everything to 1080P and my receiver just passes it through?
2. Is my option limited to having my gpu do the upscaling or do a software upscaling like ffdshow which I guess is more cpu intensive?
3. is there much difference in image quality
4. does any of this even work with windows media center?
5. Is there a way of having my receiver do the upscaling, and is that even desirable.
If there is reading that someone can direct me to,, that would be awesome too.

1) Yes (for what I know about it).
2) I think that with your CPU you can easily do both DVDs upscaling and frame doubling.
3) There should be (it depends from the script you'll use).
4) I Don't know (I don't use M.C.).
5) You should set the GPU output resolution to the same DVDs resolution (then this thread becomes unuseful for you), and the final quality depends on the upscaling chip quality in the receiver.

Leo, thanks for your answers. Given I watch dvd, bluray, and bunch of other programs, I am not sure if its worth it to keep changing the resolution of the video card based on what I am watching. but its a good tought. the frame doubling is very interesting. I suppose ti allows for a cleaner transition. I my try using ffdshow with xbmc, and see if the images look better. thanks for your input. cheers.

It works with any files as long as ffdshow video decoder is loaded.
Setting up is pretty straightforward (if you are patient enough).
Another tutorial on ffdshow
at HomeCinema-HD, that is much more readable than the first page (8:13's presentation is surprisingly poor

I'm using MPC-HC with LAV Splitter (video and audio decoder), FFDShow, ReClock and madVR on a Windows 7 64 bit O.S and Intel I7 860 CPU.: Avisynth is used for frame doubling and (added two day ago) Finesharp scripts.
Not problems at all when the DVDs menus have some moving backgrounds (i.e. films scene), but when they just have a static image (and this often happens with the older DVDs), I'm not able to highlight the various entries and when click on one of them the backgroud image remains the same even if I entered in the new menu (so I'm not able to go back to the previous menu or to know what selection I'm going to do in the actual one).
Trying to explain better...
Suppose to be in the main menu of a TV series DVD with 4 episodes. If I wanted to choose one of them, the highlighting doesn't follow the cursor, so I can't make my choice using the remote: I have to use the mouse and follow the cursor, clicking when it changes from the "little arrow" to the "little hand".
If I do that to change the menu (i.e. to go in the audio language and subtitles menu, or in the extras menu), the background image remains the one of the main menu, so from this moment I'm even not able to know where the menu entries are, and how to go back.
I discover that leaving just the Finesharp script everything works perfectly, so the problem is on the frame doubler script.
I figure out that when there is a static menu on the screen, as if the buffer isn't able to drainy and it shows the last image in it's memory, so when I try to highlight a selection the image remains the same.
Changing the values of back/ahead buffer changes the background "frozen" image just of a single frame when I try to highlight a selection, which means that when I move the cursor (or I use the remote) it's like I "forward one step" in a slow motion (I hope I have explained it in an understandable way...) but this happens just once.
No one had the same problem? Suggestion or solution??!?

Hmmm, so no more SW kit.
What can I do now that that is gone? I guess I should have made sure I had that before I started.

Don't worry about the software Kit: just download the latest version of each single software you need and it will work: I use MPC-HC 1.6.5, Avisynth 2.60 MT, FFDShow 4499, LAV Splitter 55.1, madVR 0.85.7, and the latest version of the .dlls

i managed to get madvr working but see very little improvement in sharpness
also followed another tutorial here:
but its result is way over the top when displayed on a huge screen
thanks very much in advance and please be gentle with a newbie
I am also a relative "newbie", and reading over this thread all I can say is Holy Crap! Definitely not for the faint of heart or people looking for simple tweaks to enhance performance. This is extremely intricate and complicated.
I have an i5 3570K with 8 GB RAM using integrated HD4000 graphics on Windows 7 64 bit, so should have the hardware to support this. I rip most of my content (SD and HD) using MakeMKV onto my hard drive into .mkv format. I was looking for a simple way to "upconvert" my .mkv's ripped from DVD to 1080p or 720p, and do the same when playing a DVD Disc, while doing nothing to my .mkv's ripped from Blu Ray.
After reading this thread and almost pulling my hair out doing so, it appears that there is no relatively simple and uncomplicated way to make this happen. If I were to spend all the time installing, uninstalling and tinkering around trying to fine tune it, I'm wondering if at the end of the day I'll notice any real noticeable improvement in Picture Quality? My setup now I used Assassin's HTPC guides to setup WMC/MB and the LAV Splitters.
Whenever you install and uninstall things it invariably leaves traces in your Windows registry and things get jacked. So before even contemplating messing around, personally I'd create a new backup image of my C: drive so if it didn't work out I could refresh this image back to a clean install and bring my system back to how it was before I tinkered with any of these settings.
For the people who have invested the time to understand this process and invested more time to actually make the tweaks, from your perspective was the reward (resulting improvement in picture quality) worth the investment (time) required to achieve this? If only a marginal or minimal improvement but it takes several hours of tinkering around to achieve, I'll probably not bother with it.
Thanks for any input anyone can provide, this newbie appreciates it.

I've downloaded all the softwares manually and configured as per the installation video. however i am not able to find the dll files that needs to be added to the plugin folder of avisynth software.
Can someone upload just those dll files?

No. XBMC does not support DirectShow filters such as ffdshow, unless you use DSPlayer Frodo build.

EVR CP uses Bilinear upscaling by default, that's pretty poor.
EVR vanilla uses the graphics driver's algorithm (Intel's is equivalent to madVR Lanczos+AR).

I would lean toward the Ericson also. Ericson's have the nicest interiors of the three (by far), and also feel a bit roomier on the inside (I think the E27 has the widest beam of the three). However, the Ericson will also be the slowest of the three, but not by a huge amount. Also, I've always felt that, in general, Ericsons of that era tend to feel like they "hobby-horse" a bit more than similarly sized boats.
Never forget them. Do something to prevent it from happening again.

The thing about tribal living is that it might be something that is unique to the upper paleolithic era. I don't know much about it. As far as I know, in the middle paleolithic, humans migrated with animals and there is no evidence of sedentary tribes much more than 10kya-20kya or so ago.
I saw Atlas Shrugged Part I when it came out, I might see Part II also.
What confuses me is how it differs from Objectivity and Subjectivity (philosophy). Can you answer that for me?

despite mills are expensive for me to buy i decided to build my own,after some failures i find another ancient model.does this mill works ? the screw is tighten to lower stone and upper one is free to turn.and a nut to adjusting free space between two stones. thanks.
As long as you don't turn the grain into flour and keep some of the husks relativly intact, I don't see why it wouldn't work. After all that design is the basic design of the Corona/Porkert mill.
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....
A corona mill on eBay is as low as $30 us. Unless you can find/make the mill in your drawing for alot less or you like making things yourself I don't see the point. VB
Not to mention you'll need to make grooves in the stones so that you get the grain to crack open. I also see this as a lot of work for something that might work. Probably won't work any better than a corona style mill... Unless you have everything you need already on hand, and really like tinkering around with things like this, I would just buy a mill that you know works well for the job. Otherwise, who knows how long it will take for you to get it adjusted fully, so that it does a good job of things. Just curious, how do you plan to feed the grain between the stones?
yeah,i already have the stuff i need and the stones are from an old barbell. i pour the grain from the hole which i'll make on upper stone's surface.(but i'm not sure if i can drill it because of it's hardness)
Would be interested to see the stones, if you can post pictures of them... Most mill stones have grooves cut in them from the center out, where the grain is caught and milled. If the ones you plan to use don't have these in them, it could be a lot of work to get them in there. You'll need to decide if it's more work than it's worth. Plus, I see it as taking a long time to mill enough grain for even a single 5 gallon batch (probably even a 2.5 gallon batch). Personally, I'd rather not spend an hour milling grain, cranking a handle, not being 100% sure that the crush is good. Even though similar methods have been used throughout history, the mills were much larger. Plus they were powered either by animals (mules, etc., sometimes humans I'm sure), wind, or water. Even then, who knows how long it actually took to mill the grain for a batch. Not saying to not make this, but I would be prepared for it to not do a good job, or take so long to go through enough grain for a batch that you abandon it. Especially when you can mill ~6# in a minute with roller mills.
Thanks for advice,stones are smooth and low height cylinders i think they're hand made.i post a picture if i make it.yea other than crush quality time is another issue ....i don't know how much it takes for 10lbs of grain.but for me under 30 min is acceptable !! and yeah the stones diameter is about 30 cm.
You could also have an issue with getting very irregular crush on the grain. Pretty sure you'll want to put grooves into the stones too. You'll want to go slow enough so that you don't build up too much heat between the stones and cook the grain too. 10# would take me less than 2 minutes with the BC... I believe it would be about the same with drill powered corona mills. So the stones are almost a foot in diameter... Decent size, but could still take you a long time to mill up 10#... Especially with how you'll need to feed it slowly. Keep in mind, the hole you make to feed the grain will also be an area where you won't be able to crack/mill the grain. Could be more of a novelty item than something for actual use for batches. Cool factor is there if you get it working and such... I just see it as a lot of work for very little gain... Especially with how cheap you can get some mills. Of course, I ended up getting a Barley Crusher the first time, so that I wouldn't be wanting to get a roller type mill in a few months, and have the corona style to need to unload/sell off. Just thinking a little about your drawing... How do you plan to keep the gap even over the entire ~12" span of the stones?
i don't know,maybe another two holes near the edge of upper stone and two screws.
I think you'll need to design it up on paper and get it checked by people that know about the mechanics of it and such. I would have said rollers to keep the gap, but unless the top stone has some kind of lip on the outside, it could prove tricky. You could try making some grooves around the circumference and place something in it to maintain the gap. I would do at least 2-3 separated grooves, so that you don't need to worry about the gap elements getting all bunched up. Maybe 4 with a decent break between them would work... A good amount more work though, plus you'll want to check the gap and replace the spacers as they wear down. Make sure they're softer than the stones, but not make of something that could be harmful if bits make it into the mash. I also think that the axle (the 'screw' in the drawing) should be as tight in the hole as you can get it (tight is good in so many holes )... You might be able to get something from a machine shop (have them make it) that will be thick enough, with threads where you need them (not the entire length) and possibly bushings/bearings for the top stone.

The Steam Train Museum in Treignes, which opened in 1994, reveals the history of this traditional mode of transport.
Along four 100m tracks, the museum unveils old steam locomotives, diesel railcars, locomotives from the 50s as well as passenger carriages and servicing equipment.
Most of these engines are part of the collection belonging to the Three Valleys Steam Train Company. There are also various temporary railway-themed exhibitions organised.
A walkway that overhangs the Treignes workshop allows you to observe the work that is in progress.
The Museum organises themed days:
- Days when old locomotives are brought out of retirement,
- Days dedicated to model railways,
- The traditional "Festival de la Vapeur" (Steam Festival) with: steam engines running non-stop from 10am, a dozen or so locomotives currently in service, a miniature train market, diverse activities...

Too many people think it is up to the teacher. The teachers have a lot of politics that controls what they can and can't do. I agree with you when you say "It is very sad, the state of math education today." You are the one who can make the difference. My mother had me doing homework after school and on all the holidays to make sure I knew basic math. No one can motivate your children like you can because they want to be with you and they want to be like you. If you teach her math at home then anything they do at school will be a review. Maybe you do not know how to explain basic math to her. It this is the case then you may want to look up "Dotmath for kids" on google. This will help explain how to teach basic math. Some children even learn how to beat a calculator with dotmath. I hope this helps you help her. Owen

Re: Random Posts/miscellaneous/anything Petra :)
You don't get it, it's not about past year vs this year, it's general notion towards Giants and their results, it was true when they won their first SB and it was even more true when they won second. I'm not denying that NYG are different team now and famous NASCAR package is not as fierce as last year. I'm talking in general, they always deliver when almost everybody wrote them off, especially nfl 'experts' and even some die-hard fans. let's forget about last year, this year almost everybody talking how awful Giants are or how they can't even stand a change against 49ers at SF but they destroyed them, then everybody started talking mambo-jumbo about NYG being great road team and that they usually lose at home, so they can't even possibly beat GB but then again they just beat them, yet they lost season opener to Dallas, my horrible Eagles, lost to Skins and they never beat Bengals at Cincy, tho they supposed to beat them. NY defense is not that bad when it counts the most, look what they did to GB, sacked Rogers 5 times, forced 2 turnovers, held GB to 0-2 in red zone, held them only to 10 points, only Seahawks at Seattle done better job defending against Rogers neither 49er, Arizona, Texans or Bears even come close to what NYG did and they defenses supposed to be better. Theirs 'bad' defense also held 49ers one of the leading teams in rushing only to 80 yard and combined for more than 340yds against TOP2 defense in the country.
In 1st half of Monday's game NYG were great on defense holding Skins only to 8 minutes in time of possession and on offense converting 8-11 3rd downs but in second half even on offense they were abysmal and managed to convert only 1-4 3rd downs and in 4th quarter Cruz was targeted ONLY 1 time. Cruz, 4th quarter and only ONE time when all they main guys are on the field healthy and Eli tries only 11 times to throw the ball, really?
Like i said before, NYG is strange team to me

Here is a shot of one side of the asteroid.
Here is a shot of one side of the asteroid.
Here is the other side.
And here is one of the lighting rigs.
Sorry for the humongous size.
So when didja take these pics? Was it during normal operating hours? Or did they just light up because of the flash on your camera.
Anyway, imo they look like painted paper mache. lame
But THANK YOU for the pics!
OK I've resized the photos. These were taken at start up of the mountain a couple of days ago. The word back stage is that the asteroid is an important part of the night time music track. So don't expect to see it lit until next year.
Also I had to bump up the brightness of these photos with photoshop which might explain why they look the way they do.
hehehe... the asteroids look like props from MST3K (which is not bad at all, IMO)
The first one looks like Oogie Boogie in the Haunted Mansion Holiday,
For anyone who is lucky enough to have ridden Disneyland Paris' awesome Space Mountain Mission 2, these asteroids will be a familar sight. Let me assure anyone and everyone reading this thread, when you zoom past these beasts, barely missing them while they are lit from within looking like molton lava... It is a very cool effect. Don't just look at a digital photo, taken with a flash and expect to see what you'll see while experiencing the ride! It'll be great. I assure you.
Permanecer sentado por favor...
Disnerd, when you took these photos was the asteroid actually normally lit? Or did you just take a flash picture to reveil what was hidden in the blackness?
This is an excellent point. The human eye perceives images differently than a camera, not to mention that things in motion look MUCH different than static images. Also, as mickeyandme67 mentions these images are fully lit. The designers of the ride never intended anyone to view them fully lit while riding the ride. This would be akin to watching a "behind the scenes" segment of a movie and then saying the movie sucked because the special effects weren't there in real life.Originally Posted by mickeyandme67
Comparing an effect that's fully lit, sitting still, out of context, and taken with a camera is so much more different than experiencing it in real life with movement, in context with the rest of the ride, gliding past it in the cars, with the lights turned down so low that it has an ominous glow.
And by the way, thank you for the pictures. They are always a treat to MiceChat and always appreciated.
Uh oh.. I HOPE these weren't taken from the ride (meaning that the lighting just got fixed... I just got back from CA!! ). Oh well, it looks kewl though
I'm gonna sing it; from the heart behind these hands
Please do not put on your safety goggles until you are safely seated inside the theater safely
When the pictures were taken the asteroid was not lit.
Were the asteroids ever lit?? I'm a little confused...

It would be possible, but i'm not trying to post the FAQ. I cannot do that because some object to its size. I expect everyone to go to the site and read the FAQ before posting whenever they have a problem or consider answering one. I have three goals with this posting. The first is to increase the FAQ's visibility. This helps newbies who aren't clued enough to look for a FAQ. The second is to provide a way for regulars to see what's new without monitoring CVS commit messages on lfs-book. This makes it easier for regulars to avoid posting answers that are in the FAQ. The third is to give a heads up to regulars who do post answers already in the FAQ. None of these require posting an item more than once and the last two are hurt by doing so because regulars don't like to read anything twice. However, if i was trying to distribute the FAQ on the lists, i would definitely do something like you suggest, and i appreciate your input. cheers, Seth W.

Camp Small Dresser & Changing Table Topper
- Overview
- Note: Navy (shown) is no longer available.
All the things that make our Camp Collection so popular – its appealing American design, planked construction and sturdy build – make it a natural choice for the nursery. Designed to accommodate a growing wardrobe, our dresser has spacious drawers and solid wood framing. Tongue and groove construction ensures long-lasting structural integrity. The sturdy wood topper creates a safe place for diaper changes and can be easily removed as your baby grows. Available colors listed below.
All finishes in a color story coordinate with each other. For example, Rustic Sun Valley Honey, Sun Valley Honey, and Honey are all designed to coordinate and sit in the same room with each other.

Assembled Weight: 90 lbs
Topper Overall: 34" x 18" x 3.5" h
Interior Dimensions: 32.5" x 16" x 3" h

*MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard): A man-made fiberboard consisting of wood fibers and resin binders. Suitable for painted furnishings and commonly used as a base for veneers, MDF features uniform consistency with no knots. While its density is about the same as a medium-weight hardwood, it is more structurally stable and will not warp or crack. MDF adheres well to finishes.
**Weathered: A dark undercoating is applied to the piece prior to painting. Then, the finish is lightly sanded towards the edges to give an "eased edge" where the undercoating is allowed to show through. A more refined look then antiqued.
Sun Valley: Developed exclusively for Pottery Barn Kids by a master furniture craftsman, our Sun Valley Finish adds the special warmth and patina of a treasured heirloom. This finish is achieved through a multiple step finishing process that brings out the wood's natural beauty. A final coat of lacquer seals the finish and adds extra durability.
Dust often using a clean, soft, dry lint-free cloth.
Blot spills immediately, and wipe with a clean, damp, cloth.
We do not recommend the use of chemical cleansers, abrasives, or furniture polish on our lacquered finish. - Shipping Info

Hey everyone, here it is! The Relentless fab 2005+ Tacoma off-road rear plate bumper!
Key features:
-Made from 3/16, ¼, and ¾ thick steel, CNC cut and bent, and MIG welded for unbeatable quality and rugged good looks with the strength to back them up.
-Reuse your factory license plate lights, unlike other aftermarket bumpers!
-Greatly improved clearance over low hanging factory bumper and hitch.
-Mounts through 1/4" steel mounting brackets, and uses up to 5 mounting points per side of frame for 10 total mounting points!
- Standard 3/4" recovery points, and cutout hi-llft jacking points.
-Each bumper is hand made to order to your exact specifications.
-Ships in bare steel leaving coating preference up to you.
- Only 75lbs base bumper weight(lighter than factory bumper/hitch, but stronger!)
Base rear bumper with recovery points starts at $659 + shipping.
-Swing away tire carrier: Starts at +$350
-Add receiver hitch**: +$80-100
-Recessed mounts for back up lights: +$40
-Possible hidden winch mount. $+80
- Add optional 'L' brackets for additional mounting strength(required addition if hitch is added and you dont have the factory tow package 'L' brackets)
No vehicle modification is necessary to install. Simply remove the factory rear bumper and bolt the beefier Relentless rear plate bumper up with basic hand tools!
**Factory tow hitch will NOT work with this bumper. I can integrate a hitch into the bumper, but since I cannot get it officially tested like the factory hitch, it comes unrated for capacity and full responsibility and liability is on you if you decide to tow with it. I'm sure you can understand, theres just a lot of liability there that I can't claim. These are off-road bumpers.
Rear bumpers can ship via FedEx or Fastenal freight. All bumpers come complete with necessary hardware to mount your license plate, and the factory license plate lights to the bumper.
Base rear bumper ships to most places for approx. $50-$120 via UPS ground. *Options such as tire carrier will change this quote quite drastically due to extra weight/dimensions.

The Glass Menagerie Weakness Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #4
"When I had that attack of pleurosis – he asked me what was the matter when I came back." (2.45, Laura).
Laura's physical weaknesses and sickness highlight her shyness and mental fragility.
Quote #5
Laura utters a startled, doubtful laugh. She reaches quickly for a piece of glass. (Scene Two, stage directions).
Laura uses the glass animals as an escape from reality, just as Tom uses the movies.
Quote #6
"But mother—"
[in a tone of frightened apology]: "I'm crippled!"
"Nonsense, Laura, I've told you never, never to use that word." (2.47-2.50, Laura and Amanda).
Amanda's later frustration with Laura's shyness stems from her inability to see Laura as having any issues at all.

SOC 379M • Sociological Theory
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |

TTh |
Rudrappa |
Course Description
The constitution of the individual in society, and the constitution of society itself are central concerns for sociology. In this course we take on the individual, who is at once autonomous and socially determined, as our primary subject of inquiry. We will begin with Descartes, and then quickly move onto classical social theorists such as Marx, Durkheim and Weber. Central to their theories is the conceptualization of the individual as social, as constituted only within society. Over the course of the semester we will examine questions of structure, agency, the basis for knowledge, human action, social change, and individual emancipation through looking at classical theorists mentioned above, as well as recent scholars such as Erving Goffman, Michel Foucault, Susan Bordo, and Judith Butler.
Grading Policy
Participation and class attendance 10%
"Surprise" quizzes 10%
Goffman exercise and presentation (to be done in groups) 20%
Take home exams (mid-term and final, 30% each) 60%

W.E.B. Du Bois, Souls of Black Folk
Reader with excerpts from various books (on Blackbard)

These 48 are all that are needed to play offense, defense and special teams. All units seem stronger except special teams and linebackers. The issue is how to best use the final 5 roster spots. OFFENSE (23) QB Branch,Cassell RB Dillon,Maroney,Faulk,Evans WR Branch,Caldwell,Jackson,Brown,Childress TE Graham,Watson,Thomas,Mills OL Light,Mankins,Koppen,Neal,O'Callaghan,Kaczur,Hochstein,Stevenson Some would replace Stevenson with Mruc or Britt ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL TEAMS (5) The 5 ST specialists are clear to most, but some of us would disagree GOST,Miller,Paxton,Izzo,Davis ------------------------------------------------------------------- THE DEFENSE (20) 6 DL: Seymour, Wilfork, Warren, Green, Wright, Sullivan At this point I would be surprised if Sullivan isn't kept. He certainly should be as useful as Hill was last year. 7 LB: Bruschi, Vrabel, Colvin, Banta-Cain, Seau, Beisel, Gardner 7 DB: Harrison,Wilson,Samuel,Hobbs,Gay,Sanders,Hawkins --------------------------------------------------------------
I've still got to do my Zona breakdowns, but in Atlanta, Woods played his assignments, Mincey was much rawer, if equally as talented - Practice Squad material.
Mincy makes it they like this kid he has a lot of potential. Woods has a lot of potential also, but if he gets cut and makes thru the waivers, he'll most definitely be on the PS along with Roach. Andrews is also a lock. I think they like lekevin also they see a lot of potential in him also especially they are not sure if sullivan can turn it around. This kid gives them insurance, alibet he is unproven.
Let's go with your 48, that leaves 5 spots. I'd say: Kleko - for his pass rushing abilities in the 4-3 or the nickel Mincey - Mostly for ST, developmental pass rusher Andrews - a bubble guy if Hobbs can return kicks Poteat - has filled in admiralby as emergency CB and knows the system Knight - Whether or not Branch plays, our recievers are fragile and Knight has looked good in camp
Andrews - a lock as a returner and special teamer Chad Brown - we need his experience, although we might need to wait until after the bye (same for Bruschi) Jones - A top, top Ster Mincey - we need an extra OLB, at least until Chad and Tedy are back. I have Mincey, but Woods is closing fast. Mincey also have the advantage of being able to play pass-rushing DE. Scott - the question is which Scott. I still have Guss Scott, but time is running out on him. Chad Scott is the perfect bb player, and plays anywhere in the defensive backfield. ------------------------------------------------------------- UNTIL THE INJURED RETURN Colvin,Vrabel,Seau,Banta-Cain Beisel,Gardner,Woods/Mincey This group is much, much better than last year's first half LB corp!! Believe it or not, the weakness is outside, counting on a rookie to be first off the bench.
mgteich, Welcome to the club ! I have been saying exactly this to apparently deaf ears since TC started. The weakness outside is merely that Chad Brown is also dinged up. I recomend a cut and re-sign in a game or three. When the cast comes off, if it hasn't by the time of the final cuts, he should be re-signed and told that that is the plan. He can't get picked up by anyone else, if he doesn't want to, as a vet; and if he understands that a ring is in the offing, it would have to be a mighty attractive counter offer. Tebucky could take one of the LB ST positions, (Izzo or Davis). That frees up another real LB to be kept; who knows how Seau will do, afterall? He might be truly done...
These 41 are the only ones that are safe in my opinion. The remaining roster spots are under enough contention that they could go to more than one candidate. OFFENSE (21) QB Branch,Cassell RB Dillon,Maroney,Faulk WR Branch,Caldwell,Jackson,Brown,Childress TE Graham,Watson,Thomas,Mills OL Light,Mankins,Koppen,Neal,O'Callaghan,Kaczur,Hochstein ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL TEAMS (4) The 4 ST specialists are GOST,Miller,Paxton,Izzo ------------------------------------------------------------------- THE DEFENSE (16) 5 DL: Seymour, Wilfork, Warren, Green, Wright 4 LB: Bruschi, Vrabel, Colvin, Banta-Cain 7 DB: Harrison,Wilson,Samuel,Hobbs,Gay,Sanders,Hawkins --------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough. You believe that bb still has 12 or more open positions with the following additional players on the bubble, and all those competing with them: Evans, Stevenson, Davis, Jones, Gardner, Beisel, Sullivan. I chose to believe that there are only five spots still open, plus injury replacements, and possible free agent replacements.

Hampden meeting misses the main problem
Here we go again. This week sees another meeting at Hampden where the SPL and SFL seem likely to agree about the future structure of our leagues. Is there no place for the opinion of the football fan? If there is one area of agreement between supporters of our different teams it is that the avoidance of four league meetings with the same opponent is desirable. Oh, and an octet is a group of eight musicians, computing bits, or at a stretch the set of shoes needed by an octopus; we have no need for three octets in Scottish football.
The favoured option is 12-12-18. Without wanting to sound like a hardened cynic, it won't work. This can be said with near absolute certainty because despite the love held by Scottish football's administrators for making minor tweaks, they shy away from making real change. There have been several changes in the past decades but in reality only two of any note have ever been made – the addition of a second division in the early 20th century and the reformation of a big league to a wee league in the mid-70s. The 'top' clubs – that is those who happen to be in the SPL at this moment – will refuse to countenance the loss of income which would come with an expansion of the league and that means the deck chairs can be re-arranged on the Titanic once more. The money spent on printing the latest suggestions would have been better spent on youth development. Keir Murray, writing on the BBC website highlighted the real problems with our game. "There are many aspects of Scotland's struggling national sport that will not be fixed by a change in the league format. Among those are high ticket prices, unfavourable kick-off times, a decline in the standard of player, the lack of indoor training facilities, losing young players to English clubs, dwindling crowds, the resurgence of crowd trouble and an excessive number of senior clubs for Scotland's population." A new league setup is not required to effect a redistribution of commercial income. A change in the style of play is unlikely to develop if managers spend most of their time looking over their shoulder fearful of the next drop. A determination to effect the proposed change will only widen the divide between fans and those who run the clubs. The efforts of supporters had an effective influence last summer; it looks like another blast of fan power is needed.In Motherwell's case it might be time for the Well Society to sound out members' opinions. We don't have control of the club's vote yet but we should make sure that our voice is heard at the top table.
Have your say on the messageboard.

matte vs glossy countertops
I've had formica or matte finished countertops in my past kitchens. While granite is lovely I am not a huge fan, so I'm looking at Eternia (a quartz product) or corian in a minky-brown shade. For budget reasons, I'm not looking at Silestone, Caesarstone etc.
Because it's a flat color opposed to specks of stone, I'm worried about the constant upkeep in a glossy finish.
I can't get the glossy Eternia honed so my next choice that carries the color I want is a matte finished Corian..which my KD has told me looks "cheap and plastic looking". That statement annoyed me to no end.
So to those of you that have a glossy "one color" countertop, how high maintenance is it? I'm a lazy neat freak and use my kitchen alot, so the thought of seeing fingerprints etc & having to windex it constantly isn't thrilling.
I have had matte laminates in both of my homes. I just replaced my laminate with polished AB granite! (GASP!!)LOL!
I have not found fingerprints to be a problem unless you take your hands and try to leave them! I haven't found dust to be a problem either. I simply wipe them down with a wet cloth, then I follow with a microfiber cloth. That is the only additional thing that I do, and I do it simply because the counters look great when I do it. I enjoy it. I haven't found my polished AB to be as worrisome as some of the warnings that I have read. I love it!
I will add though that my island is not AB, I have a green granite on my island. I do the majority of my prep work on my island. Maybe if I had AB on all of my counter space, I might feel differently??? Not sure.
I don't think the gloss level is as much an issue from what you describe your concerns are as much as the one tone color. I would not even look at a solid monochromatic color, which doesn't mean you have to get the most multi-colored pattern. The big adavantage of laminates is that they can create any pattern-find a pattern, meaning specks/nuggets/elements with varying shades and the gloss level will be a back seat issue.
Great point herbflavor. I am going for a clean, contemporary look and the solid color seems to work best tho. Eternia does have a little bit of speck to it, although not enough to make a difference. Not sure about laminates..I don't know about resale value in my area. Although if I can achieve the look I want? Argggh.
I'm a chef and at home tend to saute more than use my oven. The Eternia/Corian will go around the perimeter of the kitchen with the island being butcher block. So most of my greasy mess will be around the cooktop area ie high gloss.
Thanks for your input mom2....I've worked in clients homes with AB high gloss and thought "how do they live like this?" One swipe of soapy water to clean; another with clear water to get off soapy streaks; then another swipe with windex to bring back the gloss. So apparently the microfiber cloth removes a step? I think your having your island something different also makes a big difference.
When we replaced our laminate countertop my wife was concerned about breaking glass things if dropped on granite or even the synthetics. Then I found the 180fx laminates by formica. They seemed just as beautiful as the real thing so we picked a pattern and went with it. We are elderly and the sales person at our local flooring and tile store said that we had chosen wisely. Not only did we save thousands in inital cost, but they are maintenence wonders. Ours has only one fault, you just can't see stuff spilled on it, so it is harder to be sure you are clean, ha, ha. Ours is Golden Mascarello. She wanted an undermount sink, so for that cabinet we used a quartz Cambria in a matching color to the backgroung color of the Formica.
We have glossy granite tile in the kitchen and slab granite in the master bath (previous owners put all this in).
I do not like the gloss. It isn't as bad in the bathroom, but the position of the windows, the blinding sunlight and the reflection = nightmare in the summer days (we are looking into solar shades for the kitchen so not sure how much that will help). Having said that, I have always leaned towards the suede, matte, non glossy surfaces.
I have a glossy Cambria countertop. The kitchen is a small U-shaped layout with windows on 3 sides and few uppers so I get daylight on them, well all day and the daylight is unforgiving. It is a patterned countertop so dirt and messes are hidden but dust/flour and streaking/mottling from wiping the counters show up. A lot. Fingerprints are not an issue, however.
I keep a 16" squeegee under the sink. Everytime I wipe down an expanse of counter I run the squeegee over it and finish with a swipe of micro cloth over any puddled water. It's much easier to do than it sounds but if I didn't do the squeegee I would either have to do a lot of micro cloth wiping or use a granite polish to keep the shine up. I have a piece of countertop across from a window so it doesn't get direct light and streaks and dust showing are not a problem.
Can you get a larger size sample of the countertop you are considering and look at it in your house with your lighting situation? Also can you get a sample of Corian to see how it looks inside too? There's pros and cons to all countertop material so I wouldn't let your KD influency you too much. Everyone I know with Corian loves it.
My dark gray shiny quartz counters just went in. Like 20 minutes ago. They look much better than I feared (last-minute second guessing). I'd imagined reflections from lights, but had completely not taken into account the light and reflection coming in the large window on one wall. It's not bad (in my book, light is never bad), but it was a total surprise.
My current kitchen has solid white Corian counters. Gotta say I really dislike it. Looks dirty all the time as it shows every single crummb and streak. The only time it looks good is right after I've cleaned with 409. Anything else streaks. I'd always heard it was easy to remove stains from Corian. I haven't found that to be the case. I've got lots of stains in my Corian and I long ago gave up trying to get rid of them. My new kitchen is going to have a leather granite.
I like matte better for an older house (more period appropriate) and I might also like it better for a modern house just cause it's more simple and these days that's the look (simple and less flashy) however I think glossy can be beautiful, and is perhaps more appropriate in a modern house. And if you don't feel restricted to "period appropriateness" then go with what makes your heart sing a little song! :)
I agree with herbflavor, too. A multicolored glossy granite with show nothing, not even crumbs but a less varied tone with streak. At our old beach house we had a black kind of granite, maybe it's called blue pearl, not sure; it had lots of flecks and stuff in it but it was mostly dark and I hated it. I am in the habit of simply cleaning my counters with a soapy dishcloth but these had to be dried afterward or they streaked and hazed. Too much work for me. (We never had a problem with dust or fingerprints though).
I'll check out the 180fx laminates. I know that there are some incredible looking laminates out now..I just don't want anything that approximates granite as that's just what I tore out!
skydog...that's my concern as well. I have a 7' window over my sink. My kitchen is "L" shaped with an island..so lots of light on my perimeter counters. Like I said I'm a lazy neat freak which is why I've always preferred the matte look :)
linelle..are you saying that you like the look, but the light/reflection is an issue because it shows dirt/dust/whatever???
I am looking at a dark taupe...I'd love the name of your quartz?
Poohpup..I'm surprised that you don't like your Corian...my parents have had Corian for 30+ years and while my mom cracked (heat issue maybe?) it at 5 years out (my dad replaced the damaged piece with an inlaid butcher block cutting board)they love their countertop and say it's really user friendly..very little upkeep. My mom cooks alot and she has no stains on her streaky white design. Leather granite sounds very cool BTW.
harleysbud, the light/reflection isn't an issue. Of course, they're only a few hours old and there's nothing much else in the kitchen. I don't think dust or dirt or smudges will be a problem due to 1) their color and non-mirror finish, and 2) I'm fairly anal about keeping my counters clean and crumb-free.
What I meant was I wasn't used to a horizontal surface that reflects light, so everything looks a little different to me. And suddenly the under-cabinet lights that I can't see head-on are visible by their reflection. Not bad, just not expected.
harleysbud, My Corian would be a lot better if it wasn't stark white. It shows EVERYTHING and never looks cleans unless it has just been cleaned with 409. I find it to stain very easily. True I can sand out most of the stains and I have sanded out some of them, but it stains so easily that I've pretty much given up. It does have one huge stain that I'd have to have done professionally. True that I'm replacing it so I'm not motivated to keep it up. Also don't like that it can't handle heat.
Harleysbud, just make sure you try to scratch a sample and see how it looks. The darker Corians show white when scratched.
We have Swanstone which like Corian is matte, but in a beige granite-look. Our kitchen gets strong daylight from sunrise to sunset and even just a chrome faucet was unpleasant in summer!
One thing I really like about Corian/Swanstone type materials is the lack of visible seams. I have a U-shaped kitchen with two big corner seams, and they are completely invisible. Several GCs who hate the 'plastic stuff' even stuck their noses down to the surface to try to see the seams, and couldn't find them.
