A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down and use screening on windows to keep them out. Remove or discard infested plants, keep them away from non-infested plants. Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of natural enemies such as predatory mites. Sometimes a good steady shower of water will wash them off the plant. Consult your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension office for legal chemical recommendations. Pest : Slugs and Snails Slugs and snails favor moist climates and are mollusks, not insects. They can be voracious feeders, eating just about anything that is not woody or highly scented. They may eat holes in leaves, strip entire stems, or completely devour seedlings and tender transplants, leaving behind tell-tale silvery, slimy trails.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible, eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps. Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first! Pest : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Pest : Earwigs Earwigs, which hide during the day and emerge at night to eat, usually target young leaves and flower petals in late spring. Normally, they do not pose a huge problem, but their pinch can hurt.
Prevention and control: Keep the garden tidy, eliminating hiding places. Control by reducing population. One way is to create a trap. Invert pots filled with dried grass on stakes. The earwigs will hide here during the day. Earwigs will also hide in moist balls of paper that have been placed on the ground, close to plants. Every few days, discard the paper balls. Heavy infestations may require the use of an insecticide. Select one that is labelled for earwig control and follow all label procedures to a tee. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
For best results, always cut flowers early in the morning, preferably before dew has had a chance to dry. Always make cuts with a sharp knife or pruners and plunge flowers or foliage into a bucket of water. Store in a cool place until you are ready to work with them, this will keep flowers from opening. Always re-cut stems and change water frequently. Washing vases or containers to rid of existing bacteria helps increase their life, as well. Glossary : Evergreen Evergreen refers to plants that hold onto their leaves or needles for more than one growing season, shedding them over time. Some plants such as live oaks are evergreen, but commonly shed the majority of their older leaves around the end of January. Glossary : Perennial Perennial: traditionally a non-woody plant that lives for two or more growing seasons. Glossary : Tolerant Tolerant refers to a plant's ability to tolerate exposure to an external condition(s). It does not mean that the plant thrives or prefers this situation, but is able to adapt and continue its life cycle.

- "Hey, I know who I am. Sure, I do bad shit, but that ain't what I'm going to be forever. "
- ― Luis Fernando Lopez
Luis Fernando Lopez is a character appearing as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned and the protagonist of The Ballad of Gay Tony. He is a bodyguard and business associate of Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince.
Luis is of Dominican descent and raised on Frankfort Avenue of Northwood in Algonquin. His mother is Adriana Yanira Lopez, his brother Ernesto Lopez and his sister Leta Lopez-Wilkinson. His father was a U.S. Marine who abandoned them while they were young. He was raised by his mother, who also had a notable role in the upbringing of Luis' childhood (and current) best friends, Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas. He also grew up with Oscar Gomez and Alonso Gomez, Teddy Benavidez and Willy Valerio, older kids by three years, ushered most of the neighborhood kids into drug dealing. During a drug war, Henrique mentions that Luis used to rap while Henrique "laid down" the beat. Henrique claims that Luis was a poor rapper because people used to laugh at him when he would rap. He was also scrawnier in those years, as Armando and Henrique recall. During school, a teacher, had apparently been making fun of Luis' sister, and in retaliation Luis broke the teacher's arm. Henrique at one point reflects on the time the three of them had stolen liquor from Principal Fischer's office, and claims that detention in their school was almost as bad as prison.
When Luis was 17, in 2000, he went to juvenile hall for two years because he shot and injured a teacher who felt up his sister. Armando and Henrique remember spending the summer of 1999 with Luis, meaning it happened during their next school year. Curiously, this does not appear on his criminal record. Not long after his release in 2001, he had been arrested again for Grand Theft Auto. This likely coincides with him taking the blame for a crime committed by Armando and Henrique (neither of whom were caught) and going to prison. During this stint, also two years, he went from being very skinny to being quite muscular. He got his physique by body-building to help against fighting off inmates to keep himself from getting raped or killed. His brother and sister, however, both left Liberty City and started stable lives, married, with children and homes in different small-town suburbs, with little to no interaction with their mother. As a result, she relies on Luis to give her money.
Luis got in police trouble a third time in 2003, for assault, but avoided prison. This likely coincides with Luis being arrested alongside Oscar Gomez and Willy Valerio - the LCPD goes on for years thinking Luis is still closely connected to them, while in fact this was one of their last times together.
Meeting Gay TonyEdit
In 2005, when Luis was 22, his life changed when he accepted a job from "Gay" Tony Prince to be a bodyguard. It wouldn't take long for Tony and Luis to see each other as a sort of father-and-son pair. He cut all remaining ties with his old gang (except Armando and Henrique as friends), and paid his supposed last visit to an illegal cage fighting ring (though he would return). By working for Gay Tony, his life became much more positive, and while he lost respect with old friends who saw him as a yuppie, he was introduced to much more money and glamor. Tony once paid Luis to take helicopter-flying lessons for business purposes (as shown from his Higgins Helitours piloting certificate in his apartment, as well as the Club Management mission with Bruce Spade). Unfortunately, Tony was in debt to several loan sharks across the city such as Mori Kibbutz and Ancelotti family soldato Rocco Pelosi, setting in motions TBoGT's events.
Events of The Ballad of Gay TonyEdit
Luis begins doing several jobs for Tony, witnessing the bank robbery, meeting Rocco Pelosi and Uncle Vince in the introduction. He began doing work for his mother and friends (Momma's Boy, Corner Kids and Clocking Off) then began helping Rocco with his work on missions for Tony; he meets multiple gang officials in peace attempts, all of which wage war nearly killing him and Tony. He would then get The Celebinator (...Blog This!) off Tony's back. Tony would introduce him to Yusuf Amir, who got Lopez stealing a Buzzard, APC, a subway train, and killing Tahir Saeed and Ahmed Khalil. He would later work for Mori Kibbutz, one of Tony's loaners; after completing This Ain't Checkers and beating Mori in a Triathlon, he got Tony out of his grasp.
Things only turned worse for Tony after a Bahama Mamas meeting in the mission Boulevard Baby also went wrong. Luis, Evan Moss and Gay Tony would later buy $2,000,000 worth of Diamonds, but lose them at the hands of Johnny Klebitz, who kills Evan, but was fortunately able to reclaim them that much later. Luis also discovered how Tony had befriended Gracie Ancelotti.
Luis began working for Ray Bulgarin, who had him deal with his Marki Ashvilli situation alongside Timur, his right-hand; after discovering how Luis bought diamonds that were claimed to be his, he ambushed and betrayed Lopez by having him witness The Cook's dead head and sending snipers, gunman and choppers after him. Having have left him, Luis gets Tony's attention on this; his life is falling apart now.
Thanks to Niko Bellic and Gerald McReary, Gracie Ancelotti is discovered kidnapped. Luis, knowing how she pumped Tony with cocaine, refuses to help, but he is made by Tony to track her down. When the Ancelotti's, following this mission, fail to reclaim her forcefully, Tony and Luis are forced to give away the Diamonds to Niko Bellic and Packie McReary in the mission Ladies Half Price.
Luis is later ordered by Rocco to kill Tony in the mission Party's Over, but kills Uncle Vince, and spares Rocco due to Tony's claims that Rocco is a made man, and at the cost of a heavy ambush. He later destroys the heroin and then kills Timur and Ray Bulgarin in Departure Time. In the last cutscene, Luis is thanked by Tony as he 'saved' his buisness. Then Yusuf arrives and the three talk about what their near futures, as the player is to decide what happens next.
Sex lifeEdit
Because of his role as a celebrity nightclub bouncer, Luis has the opportunity to socialize and even have casual sex with famous, beautiful women. Some people mentioned during the game that Luis has a small penis. It's unproved, but this blame comes from his lovers, and he gets angry when somebody else talks about that. Gracie and Daisie both playfully tease Luis about being a closeted homosexual.
He had been sexually linked to:
- Ms. Adams: Luis' 8th grade teacher, who he slept with while he was in her class around age 14. She is possibly his first, as Armando calls Luis "a victim of child abuse."
- Carmen Ortiz: A Bohan woman that Luis was involved with in 2007 and calls "nasty". Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas were also involved with her, the former still dating her. In an eerie coincidence, she is a potential girlfriend for Niko Bellic in the original game.
- Daisie Cash-Cooze: A British socialite living in Liberty City, who once slept with Luis and avoided him afterwards, even though Luis contacted her a few times. She later recruits his help when a famous actor that she cheated on her boyfriend with, Chris Hunt, is about to humiliate her. Although Hunt releases a compromising sex tape to millions of viewers, Daisie happily marries her boyfriend despite the affair.
- Dani Lupisella: Daughter of the Lupisella mafia don, who threatened to "get her daddy chop my balls off" if or when the relationship ended. During "Blog This!...", Luis tells Gracie Ancelotti, who is interested in him, that he will not date mob daughters because of the experience.
- Joni: A close co-worker of Luis at Maisonette 9, who will sometimes give Luis blowjobs and even sex in the surveillance room and later poke fun at Luis' penis. She is Luis' friend. It is also clear that they have a friends with benefits relationship, but if Luis has sex with a woman in Maisonette 9's bathroom, Joni will scream at him for breaking her heart.
- Margot: A clingy, mentally unstable ex-girlfriend who Luis dated "over a year ago" in early 2007. She attempts to commit suicide twice over Luis. The first time she fails, she uses painkillers and sleeping pills, and then a second time she succeeds as she jumps from a two to three story pier and dies. Luis disperses the area before attracting any attention.
- Monique: The two were dating beforehand, until Luis was caught sleeping with her roommate. In the mission Boulevard Baby, she had not held a grudge on Luis and hooked up with him all over again. She is caught red-handed by her boyfriend Vic (owner of Bahama Mamas) who was been thought to be out of town.
- Monique's roommate: Luis slept with her when he was dating Monique.
- Poppy Mitchell: One of several famous people Luis has had casual sex with. When asked about having sex with celebrities by Cloe Parker (who was drunk and advancing on him), he says it's just like normal sex, except they look at themselves in the mirror.
- Unnamed: Luis has rigorous, and somewhat explicit sex with the Unnamed Asian Woman in the Maisonette 9 bathroom in "Boulevard Baby".
- In a similar fashion, The player has the opportunity to dance and have sex with random women at Maisonette 9.
Murders CommittedEdit
- Frickie Van Hardenburg - Murdered when his yacht was destroyed.
- Tahir Saaed - Murdered for tipping off the police in an attempt to get Yusuf out of the picture.
- Ahmed Khaleel - Murdered for tipping off the police in an attempt to get Yusuf out of the picture.
- Jack Duffy - Murdered on orders of Rocco Pelosi.
- Mel Toblowsky - Murdered on orders of Rocco Pelosi.

- Marki Ashvilli - Murdered on orders of Ray Bulgarin.
- Uncle Vince - Murdered to intimidate Rocco, and to rescue Tony.
- Timur - Murdered for threatening the lives of him and Tony.
- Ray Bulgarin - Murdered for threatening and attempting to kill him and Tony.
Optional MurdersEdit
- Mr. Santo - If Luis does not take a dive in Momma's Boy, Santo will try to kill Luis, and he must be killed.
- Union Official - Can be killed during Practice Swing, although it has no effect on the mission.
Heinous crimes committed by LuisEdit
- Escaping a botched drug deal with Armando and Henrique.
- Overseeing a heroin shipment with Armando and Henrique.
- Stealing a Buzzard from Frickie Van Hardenburg.
- Stealing an APC from the LCPD.
- Using remote explosives to destroy a crane, a subway train & a private jet.
- Stealing an out-of-service LTA subway car.
LCPD Database recordEdit
Physical appearance Edit
Luis is depicted as a muscular hispanic man in his mid-twenties. He has a 'fade' haircut and a small bit of facial hair. He usually wears a black and white letterman jacket with jeans, or expensive suits for club business. He also has a dominican accent. Before he went to prison he was much scrawnier, but the harsh prison lifestyle forced him to build up his body.
Personality Edit
Luis is a person who normally keeps his emotions in check, rarely demonstrating his feelings. Despite this, Luis does care for his mother and friends as he was visually struggling to keep his anger toward Mr. Santo from exploding because of his threatening behaviour around his mother. Luis is also very sarcastic and talks back to people when he needs to. He is also more reasonable and careful than most other people, being a perfect foil to the flamboyant, impulsive Tony.
Luis also shows clear disdain for the 'street thug' lifestyle that landed him in prison, and criticises Armando and Henrique for still living it. Despite this, he still helps out his old friends with drug deals and they repay him with vehicles and weapons. He also shows clear signs of bitterness for the time he spent in prison, though this is because he had to furiously fight off other inmates.
Mission appearances Edit
- The Lost and Damned
- The Ballad of Gay Tony
- As the protagonist, he appears in all missions.
- If Niko responds negatively to the e-mail "Brucie Owns Reality. Bro!", Niko writes: "There are more important things in life than being a celebrity or having good abs. You've been spending too much time fluffing the bouncer at the Maisonette 9", which could be referring to Luis, but also Dessie as well; however, Brucie does try coming onto Luis at one point.
- Luis is an official licensed helicopter pilot, explaining how he is able to operate choppers; he took a Higgins Helitours weekend crash course, and has a certificate of completion hanging on the wall next to his bedroom in his Northwood Apartment. Based on comments made by Luis during the missions Sexy Time and Ladies' Night, and Armando during a Drug War, Tony is the one who paid for it.
- According to several Tony's quotes, he has made Luis take advanced driving lessons. This makes sense, since bodyguards are not authorized to chaffeur their boss on a job without this training.
- During the friend activities, Armando and Henrique mention that Luis was always a terrible darts and pool player.
- Luis has his name tattooed onto his neck, although it is partially covered by his clothing. It can easily be seen in Three Leaf Clover and Museum Piece.
- When drinking at the bar, Luis blacks out after eight shots, and sometimes could wake up in random places, such as inside the Statue of Happiness or by a lake in Middle Park.
- Luis' physique is more muscular in TBoGT, and his face has become more detailed. Additionally, he has white sneakers instead of the black ones seen in GTA IV and TLAD.
- Luis and Niko Bellic have crossed paths four times. Once during the bank robbery, but Luis didn't see Niko's face as he was wearing a balaclava, and Niko never acknowledged Luis at the time. A second time later in the same mission, Niko almost hits Luis with his car, this time unmasked. A third time in the museum where Luis ambushes the diamond deal with Isaac Roth, which is the first time Niko takes note of him; as far as Luis is concerned, this is the first time he has seen Niko. Finally, they exchange words during the diamond exchange where Niko and Packie return Gracie to Tony and Luis. Luis might not have recognized Niko from the museum, as he doesn't say anything regarding this. Niko, however does remember Luis crashing the diamond deal and the Gracie exchange. If the player calls Roman after Museum Piece Niko says they were going to be rich but this Dominican looking guy shot the place up. He also refers to Luis as "this Dominican-looking guy" if the player phone calls Roman after Ladies Half Price and Niko will say that Luis showed up twice.
- Luis and Johnny Klebitz have crossed paths two times. Once during the diamond deal with Gay Tony, Evan Moss and The Cook, Johnny and the bikers ambush the deal, and Luis, Gay Tony and Evan escaped, with Luis killing most of the bikers, and Johnny killing Evan and stealing the diamonds. The second and final time is in the museum, where Luis ambushes the diamond deal with Niko Bellic and Issac Roth.
- Unlike Niko and Johnny when they are killing people, Luis will seem to act calm when holding up people and killing people as hinted in his dialogue. When holding up people, Luis will often say, "Got something for you", or "So what next?". When killing people, however, Luis will show remorse; saying such as, "Man, what a waste." or "This wasn't my kind of confrontation...but it'll do."
- Out of the three GTA IV protagonists, Luis is the only one not to have someone close to him die. Niko loses either Roman or Kate and Johnny loses his best friend Jim.
- Luis is also the only GTA IV Trinity protagonist to not have a safehouse burned down.
- Luis is one of three protagonists who kills another protagonist's enemy in the whole GTA series, the others being Niko Bellic and Michael De Santa. Luis kills Niko's antagonist Ray Bulgarin, Niko kills Johnny's antagonist Ray Boccino, and Michael De Santa kills Rocco Pelosi in GTA V, who is one of Luis' enemies in Ballad of Gay Tony.
- In TBoGT, Luis speaks with a slightly less thick accent than in GTA IV and TLAD.
- Luis's favorite radio stations appear to be San Juan Sounds and RamJam FM, but like with every other protagonist, the players can choose his favorite radio station.
- After a Booty Call Luis might say a comment like, "yo bro, don't turn into your papi L" or "man, that girl got issues." This possibly means that Luis might not like the booty calls like he used to, or that Luis might like it but he doesn't want to turn into his father.

Mammoth's bears are out and about again, but that doesn't mean they are going to go after the pizza crust in your car.
No. This time of year, Mammoth's bears are going green.
As in veggie green, says Steve Searles, Mammoth's own bear whisperer.
"The [bears] have been holed up all winter, and it's been a long winter. Right now, there's little available natural food out. But they need something to purge everything out. So, they aren't that interested in your pizza, your burgers," Searles said.
"Their biosystems are driven by the need for greens. They are looking for natural foods like grasses and plants. They are more apt to go after the half rotten cabbage left out than they are the pizza."
That means Mammoth's bears are most likely now going to be hanging out near what Searles calls the "green line" where the snow is retreating and leaving behind green growing things.
More alarmingly, they are also attracted to the sides of roads.
"Roads have a convex shape that drains moisture to the side of the road," Searles said.
"They also attract heat (due to black asphalt and being open to sunlight), so the first green plants of the year often come up on roadsides," he said. And the occasional "hotdog end thrown out the window" doesn't help either, he said.
Roads mean cars. Bears and cars don't mix. The connection is clear.
"Watch out," Searles said. "Slow down."
Searles observed that as wonderful as the fascination with bears is, right now, deer are animals to be hyper-aware of.
"The big winter is making our highways a bottleneck," he said. Due to snow still on the ground in so many of the deer's normal spring grazing areas, the new growth on the highway and gravel road edges is very attractive to deer.
"Deer and vehicle collisions caused over $100,000 of damage last year and put some people into the critical care unit. They even caused a fatality (local climber John Fischer died last year near Conway Summit when a deer collided with his motorcycle)," he said.
"And that's not all. If you hit a deer on the road, other animals are attracted to it, coyotes, birds of prey, raccoons, you name it," he said.
The fact that so many other animals could unwittingly be dragged into the net of tragedy is yet another reason to think ahead when you are driving Eastern Sierra roads this spring, he said.
"This is our community. We need to take care of it," he said.

I like to explore C++11 idioms and soon enough, C++14. I try to document the most important results of that exploration on my website.
I have been helping spread knowledge of various C++11 idioms and pitfalls, and I coined the Rule of Zero, which I think is one of the most fundamental ideas for writing good C++.
From time to time I contribute to open-source projects, and I also have a few of my own. The most active ones can be found on my GitHub profile.
I also like to explore the epic failures that result when we mix cultural diversity with programming, in particular things related to text and timekeeping.
My other programming-related interests include language and library design, and functional programming.

Linda Lyndell
Ver en iTunesPara escuchar en vista previa una canción, pasa el ratón sobre el título y haz clic en reproducir. Abre iTunes para comprar y descargar música.
Blue-eyed Southern soul diva Linda Lyndell remains best known for her 1968 pop hit "What a Man," later sampled for Salt-N-Pepa's 1993 hip-hop blockbuster "Whatta Man." Born and raised in Gainesville, FL, Lyndell attended both white and black churches as a child, absorbing the latter's gospel tradition so fully that by her teens she was singing with local R&B acts. In the years to follow Lyndell supported headliners including James Brown and Ike & Tina Turner. Through Atlanta DJ Dave Crawford, she also met the immortal Otis Redding, who recommended her to Stax Records producers Isaac Hayes and David Porter. Just weeks following Redding's tragic death in a plane crash on December 10, 1967, Lyndell cut her Crawford-produced Stax debut, "Bring Your Love Back to Me." An infectious stomper that would later earn great favor among Britain's Northern soul circles, it nevertheless earned little attention upon its original release. During a second Memphis session that spring, Lyndell, Crawford, and the Stax house band essentially improvised "What a Man" in just two takes. The single went on to reach the number 50 spot on the Billboard pop charts, but the increased visibility also called attention to the fact that Lyndell was a white woman singing black music, triggering threats from the Ku Klux Klan and other racist factions. In response she retired from performing and returned to Gainesville, living the next quarter century in seclusion. When rappers Salt-N-Pepa teamed with R&B vocal group En Vogue for their provocative 1993 single "Whatta Man," they borrowed Lyndell's original chorus in toto. She knew nothing of the appropriation until the first royalty check appeared in her mailbox, but the massive success of the hip-hop update proved the catalyst that inspired Lyndell to eventually resume her music career. In May 2003 she performed at the opening of Memphis' Stax Museum, highlighted by her first-ever public rendition of "What a Man."

Welcome to the New York Jets History Wiki sponsored and hosted by JetNation.com.
What we want...
This wiki is dedicated to providing fans of the New York Jets with the most accurate and extensive information about their team - both past and present. Wiki's do not work without participation from its' users - please take some time to contribute information, statistics, pictures, or any other things that represent the New York Jets. We want to capture the Jets history from the fan's perspective - do you have a recollection of a great win or a horrible loss? Do you want to write about the Jets and the draft (past of present)? Are you interested in writing season recaps? If it's NY Jets and you're interested in writing about it then just do it!
How do I start?
If you have a userid for the JetNation forums you can begin creating pages and content on the JetNation JetsWiki right now - your id and password will work here. If you do not already have a JetNation userid and password, go get one by registering today! Once you register you will be able to contribute in two places - the JetNation forums and the JetNation JetsWiki - with one userid and password. Even if you decide to not add content to this wiki, you are sure to have a great time with the hardcore Jets fans on the JetNation forums.
Creating a new article page
To add an article to the JetsWiki, you could do (because these are the easiest ways) either of the following:
1. Change the URL in the location window of your browser so that it looks like this -> http://www.jetnation.com/JetsWiki/index.php/_THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_ARTICLE_ . This will bring you to a page that says:
THE NAME OF YOUR ARTICLE There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page.
Click the link "edit this page" to begin writing the new article.
2. Type _THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_ARTICLE_ into the Seach box on the left and press the "Go" button (not search). This will bring you to a page with the first line that says:
"There is no page titled ":_THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_ARTICLE_".
You can create this page." Click "create this page" and you'll be in edit mode for the new article.
For a full explanation of how to create new JetsWiki articles, see the following documentation.
Writing Wiki-style
Writing in "wiki" is a different experience - please see the following document - Wiki Formating or the general wiki use document - Wiki Help. We have several extensions installed to allow you to include youtube/google video and RSS feeds into pages. Please see JetsWiki Tools for how to use these in your wiki writing.
Gosh, I need some help here...

As part of the 2013 Aflac WorkForces Report, 69 respondents were employers based in Denver, and 155 of respondents were employees working in Denver; key findings are:
Thinking of my company's major medical/healthcare plans, we plan to implement the following in the coming year…
Which of the following benefits does your company offer?
Talent Attraction
56% of Denver employees say they are at least somewhat likely to accept a job offer with slightly lower compensation, but better benefits.
88% of workers say a benefits package is important to their willingness to refer a friend to their organization.
Only 10% of workers in Denver say they are extremely satisfied with their overall benefits package.
When employees are offered voluntary insurance they are much more likely to say their current benefits package meets their needs extremely/very well (60%), compared to those not offered voluntary benefits options (45%).
Employee Well-being
36% of workers say their current benefits package only meets their family's needs somewhat, and 11% say their benefits package does not meet their needs.
When asked if they feel fully protected by their current insurance coverage, 46% of employees in Denver say they only somewhat agree, and 23% say they strongly/completely disagree.
Nearly half of employees in Denver (46%) are at least somewhat-to-extremely likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months.
60% of employees say that improving their benefits package is one thing their employer could do to keep them in their job.
81% of employees at least somewhat agree that a well-communicated benefits program would make them less likely to leave their jobs.
74% of workers at least somewhat agree with the statement "I would be more informed about my benefit choices if I sat with an insurance consultant."
45% of workers say their HR department communicates extremely/very effectively about benefits choices offered by their employer.
75% of workers at least somewhat agree "I believe my employer will educate me about changes to my healthcare coverage as a result of the health care reform."
40% of employers named "having employees interested in applying for voluntary benefits options as a top challenge in offering voluntary benefits.
76% of workers would be at least somewhat likely to apply for voluntary benefits plans, if offered.
The 2013 Aflac WorkForces Report is the 3rd annual Aflac employee benefits study examining benefit trends and attitudes. The study, conducted by Research Now in January 2013, captures responses from 1,884 benefits decision-makers and 5,299 employees across the U.S. To learn more about the Aflac WorkForces Report, visit AflacWorkForcesReport.com

Rays hope Yankees bring out best in Price
David Price tried to keep his start on Tuesday from being a distraction. But when the Rays left-hander and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner is winless four starts into the season, there are going to be some questions and puzzled looks.
"This is something I don't want to just be good at -- I play this game to be great," said Price on Monday, one day before facing the Yankees at Tropicana Field. "And that's the way I've always been. But I've struggled before. I've struggled at every level I've ever been at in baseball. It's part of it. The ones who can get through those struggles and not let it linger on for months at a time, those are the ones who can get through the struggles and still have extremely good years."
Price has done that throughout his career, as his current four-game winless stretch is only the second time the Rays have lost four of his starts consecutively.
"For me, it's just executing pitches out there in the big situations," Price said. "That was something I was able to do extremely well in 2012 and not so well in 2011. And that's why I had the 'down year' in 2011. I'm just looking to get back out there, try and go deeper into the games."
While Price has been frustrated as he searches for his first win of the season, the Yankees have been feeling that way at Tropicana Field, where New York has dropped 12 of its last 14 games.
Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes will try to change New York's fortunes on Tuesday, when he also goes for his first victory of 2013. April has never been kind to the 26-year-old Hughes, however, as he is 4-11 with a 6.95 ERA in 21 career April starts.
Yankees: Homers abundant
• The Yankees have homered in each of their first nine road games to start the year, matching their longest streak since 2000.
• Yankees pitchers are holding opponents to a .230 average with runners in scoring position, including only seven extra-base hits (two doubles, one triple and four homers).
Rays: Longo finding ways on base
• Third baseman Evan Longoria continued his impressive start to the season in Monday's 5-1 win, knocking a single and drawing a walk. He has now reached base safely in all 19 games this season. In Rays history, there have been only two longer streaks to start a season: Rocco Baldelli (24 in 2003) and Jorge Cantu (20 in '05).
Longoria's streak, which dates to last season, has reached 33 games, six shy of Johnny Damon's club record of 39 set in 2011.
• The Rays have homered in eight straight games.
• On Monday, left-hander Matt Moore became the first pitcher in franchise history to win his first four starts of a season.
Worth noting
• This is the fifth time in history a reigning Cy Young Award winner's team has lost his first four starts. The last time it happened in the AL was 1989 with the Twins and Frank Viola.
• Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist is hitless in 12 career at-bats against Hughes.
• Opponents are hitting .429 (15-for-35) against Price with two outs.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
To help you experiment with type-sets we briefly note the following utility functions.
(type-set-quote x)
will return the type-set of the object x
. For
example, (type-set-quote "test")
is 2048
(type-set-quote '(a b c))
is 512
(type-set 'term nil nil nil nil (ens state) (w state) nil nil nil)
return the type-set of term
. For example,
(type-set '(integerp x) nil nil nil nil (ens state) (w state) nil nil nil)will return (mv 192 nil). 192, otherwise known as
is the type-set containing t
and nil
. The second result may
be ignored in these experiments. Term
must be in the
, internal form shown by :
. See trans
and see term.
(type-set-implied-by-term 'x nil 'term (ens state)(w state) nil)
will return the type-set deduced for the variable symbol x
the translated
term, term
, true. The second result may be ignored
in these experiments. For example,
(type-set-implied-by-term 'v nil '(integerp v) (ens state) (w state) nil)returns
(convert-type-set-to-term 'x ts (ens state) (w state) nil)
return a term whose truth is equivalent to the assertion that the
term x
has type-set ts
. The second result may be ignored in these
experiments. For example
(convert-type-set-to-term 'v 523 (ens state) (w state) nil)returns a term expressing the claim that
is either an integer
or a non-nil
true-list. 523
is the logical-or
of 11

(which denotes the non-nil
The ``actual primitive types'' of ACL2 are listed in
, whose elements are shown below. Each
actual primitive type denotes a set -- sometimes finite and
sometimes not -- of ACL2 objects and these sets are pairwise
disjoint. For example, *ts-zero*
denotes the set containing 0 while
denotes the set containing all of the positive
*TS-ZERO* ;;; {0} *TS-POSITIVE-INTEGER* ;;; positive integers *TS-POSITIVE-RATIO* ;;; positive non-integer rationals *TS-NEGATIVE-INTEGER* ;;; negative integers *TS-NEGATIVE-RATIO* ;;; negative non-integer rationals *TS-COMPLEX-RATIONAL* ;;; complex rationals *TS-NIL* ;;; {nil} *TS-T* ;;; {t} *TS-NON-T-NON-NIL-SYMBOL* ;;; symbols other than nil, t *TS-PROPER-CONS* ;;; null-terminated non-empty lists *TS-IMPROPER-CONS* ;;; conses that are not proper *TS-STRING* ;;; strings *TS-CHARACTER* ;;; characters
The actual primitive types were chosen by us to make theorem proving
convenient. Thus, for example, the actual primitive type *ts-nil*
contains just nil
so that we can encode the hypothesis ``x
is nil
by saying ``x
has type *ts-nil*
'' and the hypothesis ``x
'' by saying ``x
has type complement of *ts-nil*
.'' We
similarly devote a primitive type to t
, *ts-t*
, and to a third type,
, to contain all the other ACL2 symbols.
Let *ts-other*
denote the set of all Common Lisp objects other than
those in the actual primitive types. Thus, *ts-other*
includes such
things as floating point numbers and CLTL array objects. The actual
primitive types together with *ts-other*
constitute what we call
. Note that *universe*
is a finite set containing one
more object than there are actual primitive types; that is, here we
are using *universe*
to mean the finite set of primitive types, not
the infinite set of all objects in all of those primitive types.
is a partitioning of the set of all Common Lisp objects:
every object belongs to exactly one of the sets in *universe*
Abstractly, a ``type-set'' is a subset of *universe*
. To say that a
term, x
, ``has type-set ts
'' means that under all possible
assignments to the variables in x
, the value of x
is a member of
some member of ts
. Thus, (cons x y)
has type-set
{*ts-proper-cons* *ts-improper-cons*}
. A term can have more than
one type-set. For example, (cons x y)
also has the type-set
{*ts-proper-cons* *ts-improper-cons* *ts-nil*}
. Extraneous types
can be added to a type-set without invalidating the claim that a
term ``has'' that type-set. Generally we are interested in the
smallest type-set a term has, but because the entire theorem-proving
problem for ACL2 can be encoded as a type-set question, namely,
``Does p
have type-set complement of *ts-nil*
?,'' finding the
smallest type-set for a term is an undecidable problem. When we
speak informally of ``the'' type-set we generally mean ``the
type-set found by our heuristics'' or ``the type-set assumed in the
current context.''
Note that if a type-set, ts
, does not contain *ts-other*
as an
element then it is just a subset of the actual primitive types. If
it does contain *ts-other*
it can be obtained by subtracting from
the complement of ts
. Thus, every type-set can be
written as a (possibly complemented) subset of the actual primitive
By assigning a unique bit position to each actual primitive type we
can encode every subset, s
, of the actual primitive types by the
nonnegative integer whose ith bit is on precisely if s
contains the
ith actual primitive type. The type-sets written as the complement
of s
are encoded as the twos-complement
of the encoding of s
. Those
type-sets are thus negative integers. The bit positions assigned to
the actual primitive types are enumerated from 0
in the same order
as the types are listed in *actual-primitive-types*
. At the
concrete level, a type-set is an integer between *min-type-set*
, inclusive.
For example, *ts-nil*
has bit position 6
. The type-set containing
just *ts-nil*
is thus represented by 64
. If a term has type-set 64
then the term is always equal to nil
. The type-set containing
everything but *ts-nil*
is the twos-complement of 64
, which is -65
If a term has type-set -65
, it is never equal to nil
. By ``always''
and ``never'' we mean under all, or under no, assignments to the
variables, respectively.
Here is a more complicated example. Let s
be the type-set
containing all of the symbols and the natural numbers. The relevant
actual primitive types, their bit positions and their encodings are:
actual primitive type bit valueThus, the type-set*ts-zero* 0 1 *ts-positive-integer* 1 2 *ts-nil* 6 64 *ts-t* 7 128 *ts-non-t-non-nil-symbol* 8 256
is represented by (+ 1 2 64 128 256)
= 451
The complement of s
, i.e., the set of all objects other than the
natural numbers and the symbols, is -452

TaylorMade SLDR TP Driver
Great feel driver
This driver allows my husband to hit the ball 30 yds further
May 12, 2014
worst club I have ever Hit
I put this Driver to the test, Taylromade SLDR -V- Clone,
With the exception of the clone has a Glue in shaft,
Their was no difference in performance,
Ball flight, consistency, accuracy.
Could not tell the difference which
Golf ball was hit with which club,
I hit 25 balls with each driver using the ProV1.
The SLDR was a waste of $499.99
Sold the driver on eBay, took a hit on price.
Save your money,
Get the Clone Driver and save $400.00
I found a Guy in Scottsdale who
builds custom clubs, he does swing speed analysis,
Shaft selection, he opened my eyes
to the prices, and how much I can save.
For what I sold the TM for, I also purchased
3 & 5 wood matching my set.
February 9, 2014
Best driver they have made yet
I have had every Taylor driiver for the past 6years and this is by far the easiest one ever to adjust and hit. Spend the extra $ and get the TP model much better shaft

I purchased this fragrance as a gift for my mom. It is not cheap, but makes me think of her whenever I smell it......probably because I know no one else that wears it! I love it myself and was pleased when it arrived safe and sound, unlike another site that broke the bottle en route to me and cancelled the whole order. Oh yeah, the fragrance is Jolie Madame by Balmain.

Just by chance found the FragranceNet website recently - and was thrilled to see they had this perfume in stock. Just received it. It smells exactly the same as I remember - and I do still LOVE it. And I know for sure no one else has it. Thank you FragranceNet. Am a very happy Customer.

I use PDate with ext-4.0.7-gpl/ext-all.js version and every things is OK and really it's great,
but when i want to use ext-4.1.0-gpl/ext-all.js or ext-4.1.0-gpl/ext-all-debug.js I got this error: me.eventEl is null.
Code:onRender : function(container, position){ var me = this; debugger; me.callParent(arguments); me.el.unselectable(); me.cells = me.eventEl.select('tbody td'); me.textNodes = me.eventEl.query('tbody td span'); },
I made some changes in your codes and now it's work on version 4.1
thanks again for your nice job, good luck.Last edited by mehdiemrani; 15 Aug 2012 at 4:39 AM. Reason: Problem Solved
