Davis, Gianferante, Jez and 1975 Men's Soccer Team to be Inducted into Sports Hall of Fame
September 28, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University Athletics will add three more individuals and one team into the Sports Hall of Fame on Friday to help kickoff Homecoming Weekend 2012. Tony Davis, David Gianferante, John Jez and the 1975 mens soccer team will all be enshrined during the banquet on Friday night.
Davis played on the mens basketball team from 1983 to 1987 being named the Carolinas Conference Most Valuable Player in 1986-1987. Additional postseason hardware also includes All-Carolinas Conference and NAIA All-District awards in the 84-85 and 86-87 seasons. Davis scored 1,362 career points leading the Falcons to the NAIA National Tournaments Sweet 16 during the 1984-1985 season.
Gianferante was a two-sport athlete playing mens soccer and golf. Gianferante registered 42 career goals including a four-goal performance during a 1969 homecoming match against N.C. Wesleyan. Gianferantes golf career led him to being named the 2012 MIAA Girls Golf Coach of the Year and has been named a three-time Coach of the Year by the Boston Globe. Gianferante was also named the National Federation of High School Coach of the Year in 2006.
Jez enters the Sports Hall of Fame after a successful career for the mens lacrosse program from 1991-1994. Jez currently ranks in the top-five of five different school records, all in offensive categories. Jez racked up all-conference awards in 1994, one year after being named an All-American Honorable Mention. Leading the mens lacrosse team at C.W. Post since 2007, Jez has brought home national championships in back-to-back 2009 and 2010 seasons while making it back to the final four in 2011. He was also the 2009 USILA Division II Coach of the Year.
The 1975 mens soccer team still holds the top mark for 13 wins, most goals in a season (90) and most goals in a game with 15 against Atlantic Christian (now Barton) and ranks third all-time in winning percentage.

9 Dog Breeds with the Highest Cancer Rate
Your slideshow will start shortly.
Dog Breeds Most Prone to Cancer
By Jessica Remitz
While cancer can unfortunately strike any breed of dog at any age, there are certain breeds that have higher instances of the disease. We've asked the experts to share breeds with higher rates of cancer, what types of cancer seem to be the most prevalent among these breeds, and dogs in general, and how to detect any health changes in your pet.
A large, powerful dog known for its strength and skills as a guardian, Rottweilers are descendants from Roman military dogs and were developed in Germany. They are among the breeds of dog with high cancer rates, according to Jennifer Coates, DVM in Fort Collins, Colorado and veterinary advisor to petMD.com. The breed requires lots of physical and mental exercise daily, such as a long walk or an energetic game in an enclosed area. With a lifespan between 8 and 11 years, Rottweilers are prone to major health problems, including canine hip dysplasia, osteosarcoma (or bone cancer), elbow dysplasia and gastric torsion.
According to Coates, common forms of canine cancer include lymphoma, mast cell tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, osteosarcoma, transitional cell carcinomas (or bladder cancer) and hemangiosarcomas (or cancer of the blood vessels).
Learn more about Rottweilers.
Bernese Mountain Dog
With a long, silky coat and calm, confident nature, Bernese Mountain Dogs also have high cancer rates, according to Coates. An easygoing family companion, the breed requires moderate daily exercise. With an average lifespan between 6 and 9 years, serious health conditions affecting the Bernese Mountain Dog include canine hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, gastric torsion and mast cell tumors. Care must also be taken to prevent heat stroke in the breed.
While we don't know why certain cancers are common among breeds, Coates said some environmental factors may be important. "For example, exposure to chemicals applied to lawns is associated with an increase risk of bladder cancer in Scottish Terriers," she explained. "An element of bad luck is also involved."
Learn more about Bernese Mountain Dogs.
Bouvier des Flandres
An agile, bold breed known for being a fearless and efficient farm dog, Coates lists Bouvier des Flandres among breeds with higher rates of cancer. Well-behaved and confident, Bouvier des Flandres are generally obedient and get along well with children. With an average lifespan of 10 to 12 years, they are prone to health conditions, including elbow dysplasia, canine hip dysplasia, sub-aortic stenosis (a heart disease) and glaucoma.
Learn more about Bouvier des Flandres.
German Shepherd
Intelligent and versatile, German Shepherds were originally developed in Germany to guard and herd flocks of sheep but are used today in a variety of capacities, from police dog to companion animal. According to Denise Petryk, DVM and director of veterinary services at Trupanion pet insurance, this breed is among those with high rates of cancer. German Shepherds require frequent training sessions to keep their minds and bodies active and have an average lifespan between 10 and 12 years. Petryk explained that many things may cause canine cancer, including genetics.
"Cancer unfortunately is caused by many factors and many things we do not understand," she shared. "Genetics are definitely thought to play a role in susceptibility and the incidence of cancers."
Learn more about German Shepherds.
Great Dane
Known for its graceful appearance, large size and hunting skills, Great Danes make well-mannered family companions but are also among those breeds with higher rates of cancer, according to Petryk. With an average lifespan of 7 to 10 years, Great Danes may suffer from health conditions, including osteosarcoma, cardiomyopathy and gastric torsion. Some health concerns are more prone in certain Great Dane color varieties and the breed in general has a tendency to drool.
Learn more about Great Danes.
Labrador Retriever
A loyal and friendly companion, Labrador Retrievers make excellent family pets, hunting dogs and service animals. They do, however, have higher rates of cancer, according to Petryk. The breed also has a tendency to retain weight if it is sedentary too often, so it's important to keep them fit and active throughout their lives. With a lifespan of 10 to 12 years, general health conditions that impact the breed include canine elbow, shoulder and hip dysplasia and osteochondritis dissecans.
Learn more about Labrador Retrievers.
Bichon Frise
A small breed with a playful nature and happy-go-lucky attitude, the Bichon Frise also has a high rate of cancer, according to Petryk. Friendly towards other dogs, pets and strangers, the Bichon Frise is also known for being good with children. With a lifespan between 12 and 15 years, this breed is prone to health problems, including allergies, patellar luxation and liver disease.
It is thought that spaying or neutering your dog may also play a role in preventing cancer. "There is new statistical evidence that early spay or neuter before one year of age might influence the incidence of certain cancers," Petryk said.
Learn more about Bichon Frises.
With a curious and outgoing personality, Boxers make excellent companions for an active family. However, both Petryk and Coates list the Boxer among breeds with high cancer rates. They require plenty of daily physical and mental exercise and, with a lifespan between 8 and 10 years, are prone to hip dysplasia, Boxer cardiomyopathy and sometimes brain tumors.
To help detect signs of cancer or changes in your dog's health, Petryk recommends looking for a variety of symptoms. Physically, you'll want to look for any new lumps or bumps on the skin or changes in their hair coat. Petryk also suggests looking for changes in your dog's appetite, water consumption, weight loss or changes in behavioral patterns like spending more time alone or sleeping in odd places or a sudden slowing down.
Coates recommends looking for slight changes in your dogs and, if they notice anything unusual, taking your dog to see a veterinarian right away.
"Owners should be on the lookout for what may at fist appear to be subtle changes in their dogs. An enlarged abdomen, coughing, difficulty breathing, limping, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in urinary habits and skin lesions that don't health normally can all be signs of cancer," Coates said.
Learn more about Boxers.
Golden Retriever
Affectionate, obedient and loyal, Golden Retrievers make ideal family pets that love human companionship. According to both Coates and Petryk, the breed is among those with high cancer rates. With a lifespan between 10 and 13 years, health concerns that can affect Golden Retrievers include lymphoma, canine hip dysplasia and skin problems. To identify these conditions, your veterinarian may recommend heart, hip, thyroid or elbow tests during routine checkups. Coates also recommends taking your dog to see a veterinarian for a thorough physical exam at least once, if not twice, a year.

I have had a bichon for a longggggg time.
we had some benign tumors removed from the inside of his mouth when he was 10, but I have never had problems beyond that (that I know of..)
in nine days it is his birthday.
his party-less "sweet 16" really.
12-15 years? prepare to break the average, Louie. -
Even though neither breed of my dogs is on the list, it happens. We had an American Bulldog - Juana, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer on March 4, 2010 and was predicted only 6-8 weeks more of life. She beat the odds and done well for about six months before she became ill again. She was released from her pain on October 7, 2010.
We then acquired a 4 month old Pitbull mix from our local animal shelter in March of 2011. Her name was Sheeva, and she was diagnosed with a very aggressive and invasive form of bone cancer on January 3, 2013, and was released from her pain on January 14, 2013. Her tumor grew so fast that her shoulder appeared dislocated. I don't think I will ever recover from her loss.
We now have 2 Pitbulls, Deja and Jade. And a Boxer/American Bulldog mix by the name of Duke. -
When I lived in Fla. people used to say they had the highest rate of pet cancer there and to stop giving tap water to drink. Thankfully, none of my dogs have been unfortunate but I have since given bottled spring water to be on the safe side.
My first Cocker to die of cancer was in 1973 and was 10 years old. I don't know what type of cancer it was because I was in the military at the time. I lost another Cocker in 2006 to mouth cancer and he was 5 years old. Our Cocker named Oreo was diagnosed with soft cell cancer in April of 2011. She was 14 years old when it was discovered. In June 2011 and $7000.00 later, she was cancer free. The vet said we may get another year with her. She passed away from a stroke 4 days after my mom's funeral. (3 Sept 2014) Oreo was 17 years young. Her brother, Earnie, died on 5 December 2014. I wonder how Cocker Spaniels are listed in this cancer rate????

A lock was removed on a storage shed at a residence southwest of Macclenny between July 5-7 and equipment valued at $750 taken.
The theft was reported by Christy Proctor, daughter of victim Connie Hollingsworth who was away at the time. The daughter told Deputy
Daily Archives: July 11, 2013
'Pool hops' at the YMCA
A Macclenny woman was arrested the afternoon of July 2 for taking a dip in the YMCA swimming pool — after scaling the locked perimeter fence.
Deputy John Minkel responded to a report about 2 pm of a female walking on the pavement on Lowder St. with a can of beer in her hand, and soon discovered that Christina Knox, 29, was in the pool and her clothing matched the description given by the dispatcher.
Brothers beat man for abusing sister
Sheriff's deputies arrested a Macclenny man for battery on his wife at a Sanderson address on July 1, then placed the victim's two brothers in jail for beating the husband at his residence on Ben Rowe Circle.
Quentin Griffis, 32, told Deputy Earl Lord that Elmo Davis, 28, of Jacksonville and Ethan Davis, 21, of Sanderson came to his residence about 6 pm, slammed him up against a vehicle and struck him in the face before a witness intervened.
Drug arrests in motel parking lot
Deputies made two drug-related arrests in the parking lot of the Travelodge on South 6th near Interstate 10 on successive days during the past week. Both involved persons seated in suspicious vehicles.
In the first incident, Deputy Jeremiah Combs said he arrested Toni Rainey, 33, of Macclenny early on July 4 for possessing a small amount of marijuana. She was a passenger in a van that police said had been altered because Ms. Rainey apparently left her belongings in a bar earlier and there was concern for her well-being.
That arrest took place at 1:35 am after the deputy noted a baggie lying on the ground near the passenger side door.
• The second arrest involved David Crews, 25, of Hilliard, who was seated in a 2005 Kia reported as a suspicious vehicle the evening of July 5.
Deputy Marc Heath said Mr. Crews was unsteady on his feet and had slurred speech when questioned, and had a baggie of synthetic marijuana on the passenger seat. He was also found to have a glass smoking pipe in a pocket.

Streaking Masterson, Dickey set to battle in Toronto
Indians, Blue Jays send out starters on a roll to open series
The Indians shuffled their rotation slightly for the upcoming series in Toronto, but the adjustment was aimed at keeping staff leader Justin Masterson on his normal schedule. Cleveland has found that Masterson, specifically, has responded best to a typical five-day routine.
Masterson will take the mound opposite Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series at Rogers Centre. Cleveland's sinkerballer was originally penciled in to start on Wednesday, but that would have given him five days of rest between outings.
Masterson feels that staying on a five-day program aids his performance.
"It just feels right. I don't know what it is or how it works, but it just seems to be right," Masterson said. "I don't really know. It just kind of works out well. Everything is kind of lined up and you can say, 'Hey, this is my day. This is when I'm doing it and I'm going to make it work no matter what.' There's no question marks or anything. You know it's your day."
The numbers back up how Masterson feels about the issue.
In four starts on regular rest this season, Masterson has turned in a 2.96 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. In his other three starts, which have come with extra days off, the right-hander has posted a 7.36 ERA and 2.05 WHIP. For his career, Masterson has a 4.13 ERA on normal rest (87 starts) compared to a 4.82 ERA with extra days between starts (54 starts).
Cleveland's rotation as a whole has been able to pitch mostly on a normal routine in May, during which the group has performed as one of the tops in the American League. With the scheduled off-day on Monday, the Indians opted to keep Masterson and Corey Kluber (Wednesday) on a five-day program, but pushed righty Danny Salazar to Thursday (seven days of rest).
"Now you're noticing, they're on their five days, and all of a sudden here they are and they're pitching the way they're capable of pitching," said Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway. "Not to use it as an excuse, but that's what we stress the most is routine. And any time your routine gets messed up, it can have that effect."
Over his past five starts, Masterson has gone 2-1 with a 2.94 ERA, striking out 33 and walking 11 in 33 2/3 innings. On Thursday against the Twins, he was charged with four runs (two earned) on four hits in 6 1/3 innings, ending with seven strikeouts and four walks.
Dickey is also on a strong run of late, having gone 2-0 with a 3.28 ERA in his last four turns for Toronto. During that stretch, the right-handed knuckler has 23 strikeouts and 10 walks in 24 2/3 innings. On Thursday against the Phillies, Dickey picked up a win after giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings, in which he had eight strikeouts and three walks.
Dickey has fared especially well at home this season, potentially giving him an edge in the meeting with the Indians. In five starts in Toronto this year, Dickey has gone 3-1 with a 3.06 ERA. On the road, the knuckleballer has gone 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA in three starts.
Indians: Lonnie's got a glove
Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall has been breaking in a first baseman's glove for the past couple weeks. In the eighth inning of Saturday's loss to the Rays, Tribe manager Terry Francona offered Chisenhall his first career inning at a position he's adding to his repertoire. Cleveland's staff presented Chisenhall with the idea.
"It doesn't matter to me," he said. "You want to be in the lineup. You want to help the team win if you're swinging the bat well, or there's chances for you for come in defensively, or you're running and come in to play defense. ... The more options the better at this point."
Blue Jays: The Melky way
Melky Cabrera started 2014 with a 14-game hitting streak and he's rode that momentum to a .333 batting average and an American League-leading 55 hits. Cabrera also set a franchise record with 40 hits in March and April. His success has been the product of a sound and consistent approach, according to Blue Jays hitting coach Kevin Seitzer.
"He never tries to do too much, he never panics with two strikes or in big situation," Seitzer said. "He's always been the same guy with the same approach."
Worth noting
• Canadian John Axford heads north of the border temporarily removed from the closing role for the Indians. While Axford sorts through some mechanical adjustments and aims to cut down his walk rate (13 in 14 2/3 innings), Cleveland will use any of Cody Allen, Scott Atchison, Marc Rzepczynski and Bryan Shaw in the ninth inning.
• Not only has Cabrera been enjoying a strong early showing this season, Toronto's No. 2 hitter has thrived in his career against Masterson. Cabrera went 3-for-3 against the sinkerballer on April 18, giving him a .556 (15-for-27) average and 1.341 OPS in his career against Masterson.
• Indians center fielder Michael Bourn has more plate appearances (39) in his career against Dickey than any other active hitter. Bourn has hit at a .286 (10-for-35) clip in his career against the knuckleballer.

Last Monday I took possession of the latest entry in the sub kit market, the HMK Cool-Stuff 1/72 scale USS Permit (SSN-594). If you've followed the development on subpirates.com, you know that Joel Stadnick started out to scratchbuild the USS Jack (SSN-605). As these things often do, the project morphed into a standard Permit hull as well then a full blown production kit based on the responses he received to his work.
The kit features an epoxy GRP hull and sail with full scribing. Joel used a black and red gel coat during the layup process to color the hull halves. This is a neat feature that should help hide scrapes and scratches, especially on the lower hull when the finish paint is marred. Indexing lips are included as separate epoxy strips to aid assembly. There is even a set of clips for the upper hull that capture the lower hull indexing lips for perfect registration. Even without them the hull halves I received matched perfectly.
The sail comes with several resin sail tops and support decks to depict raised or retracted masts. The full set of reinforced cast resin masts includes scopes, antennas and snorkel. The snorkel has hollow tubes so it can actually be used to draw air for a pump ballast system.
All appendages are cast in resin and contain stainless set screws and shaft screws. The planes have set screws molded into them to allow removal. A white metal linkage set is included along with brass bearings for shaft support. The upper rudder shaft is actually a tube to enable the builder to install a light bulb and wires for a working anchor light.
The running gear is complete with a length of 3/16" stainless steel shaft, oilite bearings, dog bone coupler, wheel collars and stainless set screws. The prop is a very stout cast epoxy unit reinforced with carbon fiber. It has a separate resin dunce cap piece. The sizing and fit mates up to the stern of the hull perfectly. WTC saddles and upper hull formers are included as well.
The kit comes with a full 1/72 sheet of Deep Sea Design plans along with a white metal detail part set featuring cleats, bollards, windlass, etc. A stainless photo-etch set has grates, hatches and MBT vents to completely represent all the hull details.
While the kit comes as an as-built Permit, for an additional fee you can purchase the circa-1979 add-on kit. This will enable you to dress your boat out with a GRP epoxy towed array fairing, two piece resin towed array extraction tube, modified port stern plane stabilizer, GNATS sonar jammer dome, and observation periscope. There are also two resin sail caps with the integrated BRD antenna mini-sail and snorkel mast with IFF/UHF antenna. These features give enormous character to the sleek and clean Permit silhouette.
All in all this is a beautiful piece of kit engineering. Considering this is Joel's first attempt at scratch building, the results are phenomenal. The glass and resin work is of high quality with smooth, blemish-free finishes. The only minor gripe I can offer up is the photo-etch set is a bit thin in thickness. And there is no instruction manual at this point though one is being developed and will be included soon. However, without one the kit builder with intermediate skills would have little trouble turning out a marvelous boat.
HMK's standard USS Permit kit price is $500 USD plus shipping. The circa 1979 add-on kit is an additional $50. Contact Joel at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. And watch for future kits from HMK Cool-Stuff…they're winners!

The debian-cd team provides builds of CD images using debian-installer
on the
Debian CD page.
For more information on where to get CDs, see Section 4.1, "Official Debian GNU/Linux CD-ROM Sets".
Some installation methods require other images than CD images. Section 4.2.1, "Where to Find Installation Images" explains how to find images on Debian mirrors.
The subsections below will give the details about which images you should get for each possible means of installation.
There are two different netinst CD images which can be used to install
sarge with the debian-installer
. These images are intended to boot from CD
and install additional packages over a network, hence the name 'netinst'.
The difference between the two images is that on the full netinst image
the base packages are included, whereas you have to download these from
the web if you are using the business card image. If you'd rather, you can
get a full size CD image which will not need the network to install. You
only need the first CD of the set.
Download whichever type you prefer and burn it to a CD.
It's also possible to boot debian-installer
completely from the net. The
various methods to netboot depend on your architecture and netboot setup.
The files in netboot/
can be used to netboot debian-installer
It's possible to boot the installer using no removable media, but just an
existing hard disk, which can have a different OS on it. Download
, hd-media/vmlinuz
and a Debian CD image to the top-level directory of the hard disk. Make sure
that the CD image has a filename ending in .iso
. Now
it's just a matter of booting linux with the initrd.

Gausman, O's look to clinch series vs. Rays
Tamps Bay turns to red-hot Smyly coming off first career shutout
Not long before the Orioles opened a four-game series with the Rays -- the third of which comes on Wednesday -- Baltimore manager Buck Showalter reflected on one of the blockbuster moves that went down in the American League East this season and how it positions Tampa Bay for the future.
The Rays sent out David Price, a former Cy Young winner and a staple of the team since its World Series run in 2008, and brought in 25-year-old Drew Smyly.
"I'll be interested to see who pitches better the next five years," Showalter wondered.
Since he arrived in Tampa Bay, Smyly has had the best stretch of his career. The pitcher has posted a 1.55 ERA in four starts, and on Friday he hurled a two-hitter for the first complete game of his career.
"It definitely helps with your confidence," Smyly said. "You've already done it once, why can't you do it again? It's just about executing pitches, making good pitches. There's a lot of good hitters out there."
The O's have taken the first two games from the Rays to start an 11-game homestand at Oriole Park at Camden Yards and stretch their lead over the Yankees in the AL East back to seven games. On Wednesday, they turn to Kevin Gausman.
Gausman's last few outings have been rough. Fatigue and perhaps some mental exhaustion have caught up with the rookie pitcher, who has posted a 4.31 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break.
"This is a time of year that mentally and emotionally he hasn't pitched in," Showalter said. "It's somewhat of a factor, but not near the factor it would be if his innings were up. But he feels good. We've given him some extra bumps here and there. He's in pretty good shape. He feels good. It's a great thing to get behind him career-wise. I'd love to see him pitch through October. It's what I'd really like to see."
Orioles: O's keep options open with Jimenez
Ubaldo Jimenez hasn't started a game since Aug. 16 and has only pitched in relief once since then, but the Orioles haven't ruled out a potential return to the starting rotation for Jimenez.
As of now, Baltimore doesn't have a start scheduled for Jimenez, and they want him to be available to pitch out of the bullpen while staying stretched out for potential future starts.
"If we see that we are covered [in the bullpen] we are going to continue to make him available to us as a starter, too," Showalter said. "The need could be there shortly."
Rays: Longoria expects to return to third
For the last two days, a player other than Evan Longoria has occupied the All-Star's usual spot at third base. Longoria has been spending time as Tampa Bay's designated hitter to rest his sore right forearm.
"I don't think it's any cause for concern," Longoria said on Tuesday. "It's something I've been playing through five days before that. And just kind of trying to give it a rest and a chance to calm it down. It doesn't bother me when I hit. That's a good thing. Should be back in there [at third base]."
Longoria, who drove in two runs in Tuesday's 4-2 loss, isn't considering the notion of a stint on the disabled list and doesn't even have an MRI scheduled, nor does he plan on having one. If he needs an extra day, the Rays can continue using him as a DH until he returns to full health.
Worth noting
• Tampa Bay has lost only one of its last 10 road series.
• Surprising O's slugger Steve Pearce extended his hitting streak to a career-high nine games with an infield single during the fifth inning of Tuesday's 4-2 win.

But what kind of injury is that then? I mean, you see all the time all kind of players, in all kind of sports, getting injured, and those injuries, the worst ones, are usually the season ending injuries. But, Bogut here, he's out for almost two years, whole last season almost, all summer, training camp, then plays a few games barely, and is out again for the half of the season...and it might end with him being out all season. So, what kind of injury is that?
What he will look like after all that break, or will he even be able to play at some good level? That's what bothers me. It's quite disturbing when someone is taking so long to recover with top doctors.
How's Andrew Bogut's Rehab going?
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
He was out with his ankle injury WHICH required surgery. He has been out so long SINCE surgery because it was the microfracture surgery, which takes quite a while to recover from.
Still a concern though because it has in fact been over a year since he played any significant nba ball. migya make the ring fall on ya |
I understand your concern, but however bad the injury is, you've got to believe that he'll be an upgrade over Ezeli. Both defensively and offensively. Don't get me wrong either, I love what Ezeli has done for us, but if Bogut is 60% of what he used to be it'll still help us a great deal. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page ... daily-dime
Stein talks about if we're contenders with Bogut. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Ric Bucher sulia string
I'm on a roll this morning. Just on a OKC win high. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
But, see, Bucher is at least giving us a prediction, a timeline, something we can go off of.
For all this team PR propaganda about "not putting any pressure on Bogut to make absolutely certain he's ready before he plays"... Isn't that just a fancy way of saying they're not gonna make him accountable? Cause, see, he was supposed to be ready by the start of the season. THAT went downhill. Then, the whispers were January 1st and THAT, too, was false. Now, Bucher, Steinmetz, all the people giving us any droplets of solid information as far as when he'll be back, they're all saying all-star break... Ish. No one's staking their careers on it. But if Bogut doesn't make it make it back by then, that's 3 let-downs in one year and the team is so confident in his ankle that they won't even put their stamp on the all-star break prediction this time. It just seems like the team - and, to an extent, the player - are ducking responsibility by keeping things vague. Not to reincarnate a dead horse, but we're the fans dammit. We fund this whole money operation and the reason we gotta pay $190 for low center court tickets, with $10 beers, $6 sodas, and a $9 plate of nachos where the orders should be taken at gunpoint, is because guys like Andrew Bogut are being paid over $13 million to celebrate on the bench, rock ridiculously expensive watches on camera, and pacify a few people with pre-game shooting drills? Andrew Bogut is the most expensive friggin date we are currently paying for. He's the priciest thing on our roster. And I don't mind paying for him, I don't mind him getting hurt, and hell I don't even mind his rehab being over 1 year long. But if I'm paying the bills, I sure as sh*t think I deserve a straight answer about when he'll be back, don't you? Look, this goes beyond the Bogut issue for me. He'll, in all likelihood, be recovered by the all-star break and this whole episode will be left behind us... Until another guy sustains a major injury. At which point, I fully expect this front office to stall, question-dodge, and, when all else fails, lie to me about the injury because that's exactly what happened throughout the Bogut debacle. I'm not doubting that some day the player will be back or that the front office believes they're doing this in a parentally-similar, "for your own good" type of way, all I'm saying is... I find it annoying. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Whoa. I dunno. I think you're looking way too much into it.
I don't think they're doing what they're doing to spite the fans. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I'm totally reading into it. This is potentially our best player and the way they've handled it, from a PR standpoint, by absolutely withdrawing and refusing to give the fans any news, is disgraceful to me.
"Spite" isn't the right word... it's more like disrespect. They don't think you can handle the honest truth about Bogut's injury. "If we told the fans that he had microfracture surgery, or that his rehab will take X amount of time, or that he may never be the same again..." it's all very censor and very condescending. And I dunno why smart fans tend to differentiate themselves from the fringe/bandwagon/casual fans in situations like these... it's not like they're saying, "Oh, the CASUAL fans wouldn't be able to handle it"... No, they're talking about all of us here. They don't trust the fans to buy tickets if they're up front and straight about Bogut's situation. That's disrespectful, IMO. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
http://www.ibabuzz.com/warriors/2013/01 ... milwaukee/
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Got some good news
My mate who's diehard warriors fan reckons his inside sources have Bogut returning 31st January. Now we can all get excited about this and it comes to fruitation or we can all blame me come Feb 1st. But it's time. |
It makes sense though.
If he's ready to go then you don't let him play the Milwaukee game for fear of retribution and how he might handle the Bucks faithful back in Winsconsin. But I wouldn't be suprised with this loss if we hear about his immediate return. |
Tell me more about your die hard warriors fan friend and his association with this source. Won't you tell him to hop on this board, Pawndawg.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I've told him before about the forum.. But he is a realGM warriorstalk hack |
I am starting to want Bogut back as soon as he is able to. It has been a long time and the team has had a rough month. I want the team to push for a top 4 seed and he is needed for that to happen. If it gets to the point that he doesn't play this season, I will be very concerned whether he will ever be anywhere near 100% again, but I think he will be back at full strength soon.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
Is he close to some Warrior front office personel or what? From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"

Part 19: It's About (Painting) Time!
Written by on June 1, 2004 Valiant Effort gets ready for PaintIt's a phrase I have heard repeatedly for more than a year: "When are you going to paint that thing?" Well, for those of you who asked, the answer is now. I have also heard a lot of suggestions against painting the car, and although I listened to both sides--we gotta paint this thing!
So what does it take to paint a car? That depends. do you want to do it right or just cover it with something? I don't know about you guys, but if I'm going to do it, I'm gonna try to do it right the first time. Originally, I had planned to do the entire job in my home garage, but I quickly realized my limitations. painting a car in the garage attached to my home would cause some serious repercussions when the overspray and fumes made their way inside the house. To that end, I did some checking and realized if I did the assembly and reassembly myself, and maybe some of the bodywork, I could save some coinage and my happy home life.
So it was decided, and I began to disassemble the Valiant at home. For those of you following the project, and for those of you who have never tackled an automotive strip fest, we thought we would give you some pointers about how we did it. Before undertaking a project like this, it's a good idea to find out what parts are available from the aftermarket. Taking things apart that have been together for 30-plus years can result in some of the parts not surviving and having to be replaced. it's a good idea to know at the beginning of the project (before you start disassembly) what you need to look for. Make sure you have catalogs from the aftermarket that pertain to your car. We grabbed the latest Year One "shopping guide" and made a list of every part available for the car, even if we weren't sure we would need it later. If you make a complete list, you can whittle it down as you go. If you don't put it on the list, it may get forgotten. Above all, take your time, take pictures, and label everything. Sure, we would all like to think that we are all-knowing gurus when it comes to our personal cars, but if your car sits disassembled in your garage, then in the body shop for an extended period of time, how sure will you be about its reassembly? keep in mind your limitations. For example, when you need to remove the glass, and you're not sure how to do it, get someone with experience to help. With the help and support of friends and people-in-the-know, restoring your own car can be a rewarding experience.
Mopar Manuals on CD
An undertaking such as this is not for everyone. There is a lot more work involved than you might realize, until you actually do it. If for some strange reason you're like us and enjoy this kind of stuff, a good resource to have on hand is a service manual specific to your car. For us, it makes perfect sense to have it in the garage, but it will inevitably get ruined. Another problem is finding a place to put a fullsize manual while you're working. We decided early on we would need a manual for many of the projects we have undertaken with our Valiant. so we contacted Mopar Manuals on CD and got a copy of the Valiant's service manual. Now we only need to print out the page or pages we need, and we don't have a bulky manual falling off the side of a fender or the workbench.

Body Shoppin'
So how do you know where to take your car for paint? Choosing a body shop can be a daunting task, but, luckily, Mopar enthusiasts are always glad to give their opinions of a shop's quality, demeanor, and service. Most of the time, word of mouth is a good advertiser.
Cost also plays a large part in the process of choosing a shop. Quality shops may charge between $50 and $80 an hour for labor. If you have a buddy, who has a friend, who has a cousin, whose father knows a guy, be a little shy about handing over your pride and joy without first seeing some of this guy's work. Also try to find some cars with a few years of a restoration under their belts and see how well they have fared.
So now you've found the shop you think can handle the painting of your car. Some things to keep in mind: 1) Keep in touch with the shop. If the shop is constantly seeing and hearing from you, they will realize you want your car back and will be motivated to spend more time on it. 2) Never, and I repeat, never tell the shop to fix your car as if it were their own. It's the old adage--Cobbler's kids never have new shoes. 3) Another bad statement, "Work on it when you have time." Trust us, if you tell the shop owner that you're not in a hurry, he won't be either.
We are quite confident in our selection of Muscle car Restorations in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Muscle car Restorations has been restoring award-winning cars since 1989. But we really do not want a car that will win an O.E. Gold certification at the Nats. Heck, a Bronze certification isn't even in the plans. What we do want is a good-quality paint job, that with proper care will last more than a summer of cruising all over the Eastern seaboard and midwestern portions of this country. We spoke with proprietor John Balow and expressed our concerns. He replied that he doesn't want to be known as only a 100-point concours restoration shop. The crew at MCR has done several cars for customers who were looking for the same things as we are. According to John, "We [MCR] have done work ranging from paint only to just prepping a shell we received and applying the paint. We are willing to hear what the customers tell us they want and work with them on achieving that."
So keeping in mind you are trusting this shop with your car--and let's not forget your hard-earned cash--do you know what to look for? a shop with the proper facilities, a top-notch staff, and integrity should be at the top of your list. We found that at Muscle car Restorations.

As "prom time" approaches, colour and style are just as important as they were a century ago. The word "prom" is a shortened version of the word "promenade." A hundred years ago, a promenade was the formal march of couples into a ballroom after they had been publicly announced to the guests. For wealthy Americans, debutante balls were grand occasions specifically designed for their daughters' "coming out" into society. This meant that they were now ready to entertain and be courted by approved suitors.
It seems as if these grand balls were envied by middle-class parents who also wanted the best for their own children, including good manners and fine tastes. While there had been formal dances for young people in the late 1800s, the early 1900s saw the first proms. Teenagers dressed up in their Sunday best for these high school banquets. By the 1920s and 1930s, dancing had been added. After WW II and the Great Depression, proms took on new, more elaborate identities. They moved from school gyms to country club ballrooms, and students competed fiercely to being recognized as the best-dressed couple.
Today, some students choose to go as singles and others go in groups. Of course, couples still want to look striking, and every girl wants to look beautiful. That's where the colors for 2012 become important. This year, almost any color of the rainbow is acceptable, but the most popular colors seem to be the brighter jewel tones. Metallic fabrics, geometric shapes, large patterns, and classic silver, gold and white colors will be swirling around the ballrooms of America. "Bling" is big too. However, the classy black dress seems to be sitting out this year's prom. With so many styles and colours to pick from, how can today's teen ever make such an important decision?
The following tips may help narrow down the choices:
Above all, relax, smile and enjoy yourself. Have a good time with your friends and create not just pictures, but wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

CANTON A former Pitcairn town supervisor pleaded not guilty in St. Lawrence County Court Monday morning after being indicted for grand larceny for allegedly embezzling $35,000 of municipal funds.
Susan M. Smith, 39, Harrisville, said nothing as she left the court on her own recognizance following a brief appearance before Judge Jerome J. Richards.
She is certainly not a flight risk and has no criminal history, defense attorney Gary W. Miles told the court. Shell be here when shes needed.
Assistant state Attorney General Bridget Holohan Scally, who is prosecuting the case, said her office is prepared to take the case to trial. Counsel has 45 days to prepare motions.
Mrs. Smiths case was referred to the Attorney Generals office by the state Comptrollers Office following an audit. St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� said her office will not be participating in the prosecution in order to avoid any possible appearance of impropriety, as Mrs. Smith is the daughter of St. Lawrence County Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction.
The 10-count indictment unsealed in county court charges Mrs. Smith with third-degree grand larceny, four counts of offering a false instrument for filing, four counts of tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a forged instrument. The top count carries a maximum state prison sentence of two-and-one-third to seven years. It was not immediately clear Monday how much additional time the remaining charges might carry.
Mrs. Smith, Pitcairn town supervisor from Jan. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2009, is accused of issuing about $35,000 in unauthorized payments to herself and others from town accounts at Community Bank, N.A., where she was a branch manager. She allegedly issued and cashed the checks at the branch between December 2008 and December 2009.
When the state Comptrollers Office questioned some of the payments during a risk assessment, Mrs. Smith prepared and submitted false documentation, according to the indictment, including a forged bank memo that falsely indicated that she had credited funds back to the town.
Corruption wastes taxpayer money and, perhaps even worse, erodes the publics trust in its government, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said. This individual will be brought to justice for cheating hard-working taxpayers to line her own pockets and then attempting to cover up the crime.
Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli also took aim at municipal leadership for inadequate oversight.
Pitcairns town officials failed in their responsibility to oversee financial operations, Mr. DiNapoli said. We urge our localities, large and small, to use basic checks and balances to deter criminal activity.
Asked about the towns financial procedures later Monday, Supervisor Clyde Sam Frank Jr. replied that all of that was adjusted in the response to the audit.
I keep in close contact with the comptrollers office, said Mr. Frank, who took office as supervisor on Jan. 1. If theres something I dont understand, I just call them. Theyve been very helpful.
Mr. Frank did not immediately know how much had been spent on legal fees as a result of the case, but said he was hopeful that Pitcairn would ultimately recoup its losses.
Look, arent we all? he replied.

Dear FF,
It's so lovely to read your post. I've had what can only be described as a less than perfect day and it's so comforting to read about your party and to see the tassel necklace.
Here's to tomorrow throwing some shine onto some unpleasantness.
I believe that the weather is going to be rather hot everyone tomorrow so lets all be safe and out of the sun.
Seriously laughing so hard about baby FF thinking he's invisible. Love life's little funnies.
B. xLove it. My mum is a teacher and her staff room always had the coolest most complicated Secret Santas ever, always going for weeks and each gift more creative than the last.
Sometimes I put my hands over my eyes and pretend I'm invisible too, mostly when I'm sitting on the loo and the kid is banging on the door shouting "mummy are you finished YET!!!???"- AnonymousNovember 29, 2012 at 7:20 PM
love the orange colour scheme running though that outfit and the Baby's shorts, with a touch of green with accessorizes.
ReplyDelete That's so funny re the baby putting his hands over his eyes! We had a pet rooster that used to think the same thing. If you were chasing him to catch him, he'd run to the nearest patch of ivy or a bush and stick his head in it. We'd then walk up behind him and pick him up. He was always surprised we knew where he was. xx

Finding good secret Santa gifts can be Challenging, to say the least! Your SS has done Very Well. I'm hoping I can do as well when I hit the shops as SS.
Had a Big Win on the Style Tread sale earlier this week- Very Happy! Got a pair of striped wedges similar to your pink/navy/white beauties. Love a bargain- came to $21.80 for 2 pairs DELIVERED!

Love that necklace to bits, can't wait till tomorrow when Neon collection is launched!
Must say I am so appreciative of your boobies post. Helped one of my dearest friends through a mastectomy last friday, only to have another dear friend breast biopsied on tuesday of this week :( it has been a terrible time - I am emotionally wrecked and it is not even happening to me..... I flicked links on to both your post and RPE post to show that there is bling at the end of their journey.
Love the jar, my Mum has bee glasses she bought home from France - brings a holiday mood just taking a sip out of them.
xx MegluvX4 Dear Ms FF, I love lilies too - they often have the most intoxicating scent. It looks so lovely and summery in Brissie - orange seems such a summery colour. I have heard that a very famous grandma featured on another blog loves loves loves your posts when they feature Little FF - the photo of him being invisible will be a big hit with her!!! I am so glad you will always have a record of these lovely and funny moments as before you know it, they will be big!!! It is cold and rainy where I am - but am off to champers and dinner with best friend- I know, am channeling you! love Lundaxxx
ReplyDeleteI don't need to win anything--just want to tell you that I always enjoy your pics and posts. Keep on posting!!
(and on the hiding note, I used to see rabbits "hide" from me when I'd be out on early morning walks. Like the rooster cited above, they'd stick their heads into the bushes and leave their fat furry behinds sticking out in plain sight. It was hilarious.)I saw your pic and tried to wear a short necklace with a long one today and look absolutely ridiculous, like I was being strangled - you always look so together FF. Trivia : Orange (my favourite colour) is the only colour that is a fruit.

Your lilies are fabulous just like those orange beads

Hi FF...must have the missed the post(s) where it was clear that you worked with Willow. All the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place (I'm blonde and a lawyer - what more can I say). I don't know W or L but I do love their beautiful jewellery...I expect if I worked with either, I would spend my paycheck before it arrived (says she who is waiting on the arrival of a necklace from RPE as we speak).

Dear ff
I am so glad to have an excuse to stalk your blog daily now with your giveaway rather than restricting myself to a browse every 3 days or so. Can never have too much if a good thing. I enjoy this lace number very much.
Love Kathleen xxx - CarolynDecember 1, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Wow, I am so impressed that you can wheel out a dress from 2006 and it still fits and you still like it and it's still fashionable. Today I am wearing a turquoise silk dress that I bought at Portmans years ago. Always felt it made me look larger that I am. Now that I actually (and regrettably) am larger, it is fine!
Carolyn That is one of my favorite tops of yours - I've spent hours searching the net and haunting various stores for something similar, but nothing comes up as pretty as yours. Looks great with orange beads. The glass jar is a perfect gift for you - what wonderful friends you have. I do believe you'll make 1000 posts any minute - I'll be sad when you slow down to your normal warp-speed! xo

Dialysis is a treatment that takes over the job of your kidneys if they fail. The kidneys perform many functions that help your body stay healthy. They help clear toxins out of your blood and help your body balance salt levels. Most patients begin dialysis when their kidneys have lost 85%-90% of their ability. You may be on dialysis for a short time, or you may need it for the rest of your life.
If you have kidneys that are not working and the damage is not reversible, you have end stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD is caused by conditions such as diabetes, kidney cancer, drug use, high blood pressure, or other problems. Dialysis is not a cure for ESRD, but it does help you feel better and live longer.
There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. This fact sheet will focus on hemodialysis.
The main functions of hemodialysis are to:
It may also be done to remove toxins from the bloodstream quickly. It can be used in cases of poisoning or drug overdose.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
If you have heart problems, this may increase your risk of complications from hemodialysis.
Usually, before your first hemodialysis, you will have some sort of tubing attached to a large vein. The tubing will make blood flow from your body to the machine and back more easily. If you will be on hemodialysis for a long time, you may have had surgery to create a shunt or a fistula, which makes access to a large vein easier. Fistulas may need as long as 2–3 months to fully heal before they can be used.
Before your hemodialysis, you will:
If needle insertion is needed, you will be given a topical pain-numbing medication.
Hemodialysis is done at a dialysis center or hospital. It may be done at home with assistance.
During the procedure, blood is filtered through an artificial kidney machine, called a dialyzer. The blood travels from your body to the machine through tubes inserted into a large vein in your body. After the blood is filtered in the machine, it travels back into your body through another tube.
Hemodialysis is usually done three times a week. Each treatment can last 2-4 hours. The specific time needed depends on:
In general, hemodialysis does not cause pain. You will not feel the blood exchange. There may be some temporary discomfort inserting the needle or tube.
Your blood pressure will be monitored. After the procedure is complete and blood pressure is stable, you can continue daily activities.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions . There are some special considerations:
Certain dietary guidelines should be followed. This will help maintain overall health and optimize treatment effects. Talk to your doctor about your specific dietary needs.
Your doctor may give you various medications. These include, but are not limited to:
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

08.07.2012 /
Austria's Lukas Trautmann emerged the winner in a heart-stopping finish against Italy's Stefano Manzi who crossed the line 0.003 second ahead of his rival to take victory in one of the most exciting Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup battles ever. Third was Saturday's winner Scott Deroue ahead of Cup leader Florian Alt.
This was a 16-lap race that was unpredictable and thrilling with reversals of fortune at almost every turn. Championship leader Florian Alt led at the start of the final lap in front of Czech rider Karel Hanika and Belgian Livio Loi. The lead pack of more than 10 riders had traded places all the way through the race and there was no let-up in the final circuit.
Loi took the lead and defended well for the first half of the lap but through the ultra fast change of direction before the downhill drop to the final corners he came together with Alt and Deroue. This allowed to Trautmann to seize the advantage and he charged down the hill ahead of the pack. Trautmann then had a huge slide exiting the penultimate corner and Manzi slipped into second at the last turn. The two flashed past the finish so close to each other than no-one was really sure who had won the race.
Lukas Trautmann: "Such hard fighting all the way, I have never been in a race like this. I know the lap times were not as quick as we did in free practice and I think that it is because the thunderstorm washed all the rubber off the track and the grip wasn't there. Also by the end of the race the rear tire was well worn."
German Willi Albert, second yesterday was in the running for another finish but he clipped the back of Trautmann's bike and crashed out. Philipp Oettl who had started the race just 10 points behind Alt had to retire with technical problems and relinquished second place in the standings to Deroue who trails Alt by nine points.

The high-definition playback of the open-source drivers has been fantastic for me using Ubuntu Lucid. It seems like it has improved a little every few months. I don't experience any of the tears and slowdowns I did before.
Phoronix: Where An Open ATI Driver Beats The Catalyst Driver
A number of weeks back a set of benchmarks were published showing even the latest open-source ATI 3D driver is still no match to an old Catalyst driver and that even Gallium3D lags behind the Catalyst driver for those interested in OpenGL gaming. However, in other areas the open-source ATI driver stack is beginning to win by measurable amounts.
The high-definition playback of the open-source drivers has been fantastic for me using Ubuntu Lucid. It seems like it has improved a little every few months. I don't experience any of the tears and slowdowns I did before.
I also like how the open source Radeon driver also has a higher resolution for the text modes. FGLRX looks like it uses 40x40 text cols. I feel like I'm starting a BBC Acorn Computer, not a modern linux system.
I confirm this, on my ati hd4350 using fglrx 10.5 i experienced a considerable CPU reduction on 720p and 1080p h264 videos. Now with 10.6 it seems that video acceleration is not working correctly and I observe the same behaviour (no cpu usage reduction).When using the XvBA + VA-API combination for the proprietary Catalyst driver, the CPU usage had only fallen to 95%. Looking at the MPlayer output had shown that libva/VA-API was being used, but whether it's a bug in Catalyst 10.6
Maybe you should have asked gb or me before doing that test or take a look at the description at the end of my script:
Please delete your test results and retest. You do NOT need to disable vdpau when you compile the vaapi patched mplayer, i never do that and it can be used easyly for comparision.
Instead of -vc overrides (even for vdpau due to the used mplayer-vdpau.patch) you need to use
VAAPI: -va vaapi -vo vaapi
VDPAU: -va vdpau -vo vdpau
XV: -vo xv
When you do it correctly you might see wrong decoded h264 l5.1 files, but up to l4.1 it should work. You can test VC1 too, that has got no glitches.
So the CPU spike while the GPU is busy too? My CPU usage gets no worse than 40% with a HD5770 framebuffer (no vid decode) with a downloaded matroska 720p vid on KDE4. It is a two year old AMD Phenom 9950 x4 non-OC.
What the fsck... so how is GPU playback drawing less power?
However someday I think the FLOSS ATI drivers will beat fglrx at anything except top speed.
You should better look into the pts mplayer profile, then you know that only software decoding was benched.

Better, Smarter, Faster. The Souverän powerbrush attachment kit has begun a new standard for performance and design of powered carpet cleaning nozzles. Utilizing Wessel-Werks latest powered carpet nozzle the EBK360, the Souverän attachment sets continue the tradition of high quality German design.

Manchester alderman doesn't support Adam Curtis Skate Park proposal
Ron Ludwig, an alderman in the North End's Ward 2 and the former director of Parks and Recreation for the city, said he never wanted the park built at the location, which is behind the Regis Lemaire Community Center on Maple Street.
"This was obviously the wrong place," Ludwig said.
He said the location is good."It's now right down the street from the city police department," DeStefano said.Ludwig said it would be best to tear down the community center and move the skate park close to the street.

Comfortable shoe but fell apart
By Jen
from Ny
This was a gift for my husband. He liked them and said they were comfortable but the bottom of one of the shoes fell apart after 2 months. This is why I gave it 3 stars. Customer service was good though and replaced the shoes. Let's see how long this next pair lasts.
