The Seahawks made off like bandits in the 1st round and completely revamped their roster throughout the draft. They're definitely in the discussion as one of the biggest winners in this year's draft.
Russell Okung just plopped into their lap in the 1st round and they wasted no time making the selection. He was the best available player and just happened to fill their biggest need. They'll be thanking the Redskins for the next decade for passing him up in favor of Trent Williams.
The next most important position for the Seahawks to address was free safety, and sure enough, Earl Thomas fell to them at No. 14. It was simply a brilliant 1st round by Pete Carroll and company. They got two players to build around and who can make an immediate impact.
I was very surprised that Golden Tate fell to the late 2nd round. The Seahawks still need a true No. 1 receiver, but at that point in the draft Tate was easily the best available. He's a perfect slot receiver who can make an impact from day one. If the Seahawks use him correctly, he could put up impressive numbers as a rookie.
Walter Thurmond is an electric return man and should fill that role immediately in Seattle. He's also very underrated as a cornerback. He's coming off an injury, however, which caused him to fall to the 4th round. He could end up being yet another steal for the Seahawks if he can stay healthy. He could win the job as their nickel corner.
The Seahawks needed a defensive end, but I'm not sure E.J. Wilson is the player I would have targeted in the 4th round. What they really need is a pass rusher, and with Ricky Sapp on the board I would have rather gone that direction. Wilson is more of a big body who excels against the run. He was a slight reach where they took him.
Kam Chancellor was a nice 5th-round pick. He'll backup Jordan Babineaux at strong safety and potentially earn the starting job there in a year or two. He can also contribute on special teams immediately.
Anthony McCoy fell because of concerns about a failed drug test, but his college coach should know how to straighten him out. He's nothing special as a receiver, but is a fairly complete tight end in terms of being able to catch the ball and block. He's a great fit as a second option behind John Carlson.
The Seahawks finally grabbed a pass rusher in the 7th round with Dexter Davis. He'll have chance to make the squad as a situational pass rusher, but I wouldn't expect much from him. He's slightly undersized I think he'll struggle to make the roster.
Jameson Konz was a great pickup in the late 7th round. He doesn't have a true position, but he's an impressive natural athlete who's workout numbers were off the charts. He could play fullback, tight end or receiver. Even though he doesn't have a defined position, he's well worth the risk in the 7th round. He may turn out to be just a workout warrior, but his upside in the 7th round was far too great to pass up.
This was simply a brilliant draft for the Seahawks. Okung and Thomas will start from day one. Tate, Thurmond, Chancellor and McCoy should also have fairly significant roles as rookies. This draft has transformed the Seahawks and they now have every reason to believe they can compete for the NFC West title in 2010.

The Humphrey Coliseum is a special basketball venue to many people.
For Starkville High School boys basketball coach Greg Carter, it's a place where he played his college basketball and got his start in coaching.
Carter played at Mississippi State for former coach Richard Williams from 1987-91, then he was an assistant coach with the Bulldogs from 1994-2001.
Being able to share the Hump with other high school coaches and teams this week during the Travis Outlaw Slam Dunk at the Hump Christmas Tournament has been rewarding to Carter.
"We have a lot of people in the area that don't have a chance to come to the games and teams don't get to play here so it's a special experience for a lot of people," Carter said. "I know when I talked with (Roy Hazzle) the coach from Aberdeen, he said most of his kids had never even been in the Hump to watch a game, let alone play."
When Starkville played Strong, Ark., Wednesday on the first night of the tournament, Gavin Ware, a senior center for the Yellowjackets, could tell how important the situation was for Carter.
"Every time we stepped onto the court, his eyes just got wide and it was like we had to get (a win) with a tournament being played on Mississippi State's court," Ware said. "He was overwhelmed with excitement that he could get a tournament here. For him to be able to pull this off is just a blessing."
It wasn't the first time Carter had been able to coach a game at Humphrey Coliseum since his playing and assistant coaching days at MSU. He has brought SHS teams in during the summer for competition.
For Ware, the three games at the Hump are expected to be three of many as he signed to play with the Bulldogs in November.
"It's an overwhelming experience in knowing I'm going to be playing here next year," Ware said. "I got real acquainted with the goal by dunking. By running up and down (the court), I could tell it's larger than high school."
After two days of tournament action at Humphrey Coliseum, Carter has been pleased with the results.
He doesn't believe it will be just a one-year event.
"I'm looking forward to this being an annual tradition," Carter said.
SHS athletic director Stan Miller hopes for a big climax to the tournament today and wants to see a big crowd when the two teams that have won both of its games, East (Tenn.) and Starkville, meet to close the day at 3:30 p.m.

So i was thinking someone should make a program to download all their facebook messages. for anyone who doesnt know, you have to scroll up to load small sections of your messages. if you have 20 thousand messages, it takes a long time! Can someone make a program or even a script to load MORE message at a time? I was looking through the HTML and saw this
I was thinking, at the end, if someone could change 60 to say, 1000. It would be easier to load!
btw, I downloaded all my facebook data through the account settings, and it didn't work properly!

From the postwar era to the mid-'80s, General Motors' Rochester Division defined carburetor performance. Rochester also developed the mechanical fuel injection systems found on '57-'59 full-size Chevys, the '57-'58 Pontiac Bonnevilles, and the '57-'65 Corvette small-block V-8s. At the dawn of the muscle car era, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac turned to Rochester for reliable triple two-barrel performance, and the mid-'50s Cadillac Eldorado engines featured dual Rochester 4GC four-barrel carburetors. A single 4GC carburetor was common on high-compression GM V-8s until the mid-'60s, when the introduction of the Rochester Quadrajet took four-barrel performance to the next level.
For a variety of reasons, Corvette outsourced Carter carburetors in the early years. V-8s through 1965 used the Carter WCFB and AFB carburetors extensively. Without question, the dual WCFB four-barrel carburetion and large-bore AFB single four-barrel units established the Corvette's performance image. Despite impressive horsepower gains, potent Rochester fuel injection appealed to small numbers of Corvette buyers.
The Carter WCFB and AFB designs fit easily beneath the low profile C1 and C2 hoods. Shorter and smaller overall than the 4GC Rochester, the WCFB was the right choice for dual-quads on a compact, small-block intake manifold. Corvette would not use Rochester carburetion until 1966, when the Quadrajet four-barrel emerged.
High performance Chevrolet muscle era engines use Holley square flange 4150-series four-barrel carburetors. Three Holley two-barrel carburetors fuel the Corvette's 427 tri-power V-8s. The L88 427, LS6, and LS7 454, the LT1 small-block and other high output small- and big-block Chevrolet engines run a single 4150 Holley four-barrel carburetor. The Holley choice reflects trackside tuning advantages rather than limitations in the spreadbore Quadrajet carburetor. An optimal fuel source for the 327 and 350 small-blocks, the Quadrajet ultimately proved itself on all lower horsepower big-block 396, 427, and 454 V-8 applications.
After 1972, Corvette dropped Holley carburetor designs altogether, finding the Quadrajet better suited for emission control use. Quadrajet carburetors, produced by Rochester and Carter (under licensed contract), had become a standard for GM four-barrel applications. Through 1981, Corvette would rely on the Quadrajet, including the electronic feedback versions. In 1982, 'Cross-Fire' throttle body injection ended Corvette's carburetor era.
The Quadrajet became the most popular and widely used four-barrel carburetor in General Motors' history. A unique "spreadbore" design, the Quadrajet embodied the best advancements in carburetion. Using precise vacuum and airflow signals, a combination of mechanical and vacuum actuated secondaries and refined fuel metering, the versatile Quadrajet accommodated engines ranging from the Buick 231 V-6 to 454 and 455 high-performance V-8s! Featuring small primary bores and large secondaries, removable jets, sized metering rod tapers, calibrated balance springs and a vacuum actuated power piston, the Quadrajet has served a wide range of engine sizes and fuel flow demands.
Restoring The Quadrajet
'68 300 horsepower 327 and 390 horsepower 427 engines introduced Corvette owners to the '4MV' model Quadrajet. This carburetor features a divorced choke, nestled in the intake manifold at the heat crossover passage between cylinder heads. From a rebuilding standpoint, the 4MV is a prototype for other Quadrajet designs, including the attached-choke 4MC, M4MC, and the late emissions "feedback" E4ME/C models. '81-up GM vehicles with Computer Command Control (CCC) and the E4ME/C carburetors feature a more complex, electronically fuel-metered version of the Quadrajet.
Rebuilding a carburetor was once considered a routine part of tuning. If an ignition tune-up fails to remedy symptoms like hard starting, poor warm-up operation, stumble on acceleration, stalling, rough idle, excess fuel consumption, flooding, surging, or poor high-speed performance, the Quadrajet likely needs rebuilding. Before removing the carburetor, rule out ignition system weaknesses, a bad or sticking EGR valve, a sticky PCV valve, vacuum leaks, or a vacuum circuit problem. Use a vacuum pump to check the choke's vacuum break. If the vacuum diaphragm leaks, replace the vacuum break diaphragm unit during the rebuild.

PASADENA, Calif. — Monday served up a perfect night for a football game, but the day wasn't ideal for those peddling tickets.
Scalpers scattered across the landscape surrounding the Rose Bowl stood for hours trying to unload tickets to the BCS Championship pitting Florida State against Auburn. Tickets with a $325 face value were selling for 25-30 percent less four hours before kickoff.
"I'd take $200 (for each one) right now," said one man wearing an Auburn T-shirt and holding three tickets aloft with his right hand.
FSU and Auburn each were allotted 20,200 tickets, and prices soared quickly when tickets were made available to the public. Online ticket marketplace Stubhub.com was posting ticket prices of $576 when tickets first went on sale in early December, according to al.com. Those high prices began to fall back to earth relatively quickly, however.
(Click here for photos from the game)
USA Today quoted one source in a story posted online Monday that ticket prices dropped 58 percent in the last week alone. The costs of flying across the country soared well over $1,000 for many hopeful travelers, one factor that may have contributed to declining prices.
"I'm trying to get $500," an FSU fan said of his two tickets five hours before the game's scheduled start.
Standing in a parking lot full of buses unloading hundreds of fans from both teams, he surmised, "I don't know if I'll get it."
The game's official attendance was 94,208.
Winston, Ramsey named all-freshmen: The Football Writers Association of America named FSU quarterback Jameis Winston and defensive back Jalen Ramsey to its Freshman All-America team on Monday morning.
Auburn offensive lineman Alex Kozan also made the team.
Winston was the second freshman ever named to the team, following Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel from one year ago.
Freeman, Benjamin and Greene surpass 1,000: FSU tailback Devonta Freeman needed 57 yards to reach the 1,000-yard plateau, and he notched that mark in the third quarter to end the Seminoles' long stretch without a rusher breaking that barrier.
Freeman finished the game with 11 carries for 73 yards.
The Seminoles had not had a running back surpass the 1,000-yard barrier since 1996, the longest such streak in the country.
Seminole receiver Rashad Greene became the first Seminole to top the 1,000-yard plateau in receiving yards with a 29-yard reception in the first quarter. Greene entered the game with 981 yards. Kelvin Benjamin reached that plateau in the third quarter.
Heisman-winning QBs struggle: Five Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks who had lost previous games in the BCS Championship, including former FSU quarterback Chris Weinke.
Those six signal callers — Weinke, Eric Crouch (Nebraska), Jason White (Oklahoma), Troy Smith (Ohio State) and Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) — all suffered through sub-par performances in the biggest game of their respective seasons.
The five award-winners to lose combined for 73-for-158 passing (46 percent) for 729 yards. Bradford was the only quarterback in the group to throw for a touchdown pass, and none of them topped the 300-yard mark.
USC's Matt Leinart and Auburn's Cam Newton were the only two quarterbacks to win the award and claim a victory in the BCS title game. They combined for 38-for-69 passing (55 percent), 597 yards and seven touchdowns, five of them by Leinart.
Rare journey west: Florida State had played only one other bowl game on the West coast, traveling to San Francisco to play in the Emerald Bowl in 2006. The Seminoles defeated UCLA 44-27 at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball.
Monday night's game certainly wasn't a homecoming for any of FSU's players. The Seminoles do not have a single player hailing from a city west of the Central time zone.

Car shows: There's row after row of automotive art carefully posed and polished to perfection. It's just like walking through a taxidermists shop; the animals are cool to look at, but it just seems somewhat unnatural. The right place to view our beloved Camaros is in motion, rolling over good ol' asphalt. This driving trend is sweeping the hobby, and the popularity of events like the Hot Rod Power Tour and the Year One Experience keep ratcheting up.
Four years ago Bill Howell, owner of the website www.Musclerides.com, his friend Steve Chryssos of Twist Machine, and Larry Callahan of www.Pro-Touring.com decided to start their own driving-themed event. What evolved was the Run Through The Hills (RTTH) held in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It takes place over a three-day-period and offers something for everyone.
Friday's kick-off is a scenic cruise though the local Smokey Mountains, followed by a dinner get-together. Saturday is reserved for the most popular and pulse-raising event, the autocross, a twisting and turning course constructed of orange cones where drivers vie for the fastest lap times. On Sunday the action moves over to the local eighth-mile drag strip for some straight-line action. If none of this gets your heart rate up, then you can always go back to tire gel and lawn chairs.
In addition to awards for the fastest times at the autocross and drag strip, the organizers added an overall award dubbed "The King of the Hill." Points are tallied from the two driving events, with additional credit awarded for the Friday night cruise. After all, these are supposed to be streetcars. This new overall prize added to the competitive yet friendly vibe of the event; still, the main point of this exciting three-day event was to scuff tires, burn gas, and have a blast.

When Corvette Fever editor Alan Colvin asked me to put some thoughts together on this subject, my first reaction was that most everyone already knows how to go about selecting a restoration shop. But the point was made that there have been many folks who have either had poor experiences, or who are new to the hobby. While directed mainly to people new to restoration work, and possibly old hat to those having gone through a restoration, hopefully we'll touch on a few new ideas for both.
Having been in the hobby for many years, we've had our share of experiences with various restorers and shops for outsourced work-some were good experiences; some we'd like to forget. We've certainly heard of many horror stories, but there are ways to reduce the potential of that happening to you. Some fortunate folks might be able to drop off a car, along with a blank check, and just want to be called when it's ready. Most of us either won't find ourselves in that position, or simply prefer the satisfaction of having done much of the work ourselves. Even if you are trying to do much of the work yourself, there's usually the need to have others involved for things such the chrome work, body work, painting, upholstery or custom machine work. If you do need to find sources to do this work, how can you be best prepared and what are the things that you should look for? Both of those aspects are what we'll address based on our personal experience. Here are some questions to ask yourself before you start looking for a restoration shop:
What are your specific objectives? Have you thought through what you want as an end product? Having a clear picture will go a long way in finding and working with a restorer for both your sake and theirs as well as achieving the end product you want. Do you have a good idea of the value the car may be worth, once the project is completed? It's not all that unusual for a large restoration project to bring your cost of the restoration work, when added to the cost of the car itself, to a level above the market value. For many folks that isn't an overriding issue, as many projects are more focused on our emotional involvement, but it's a consideration to take into account.
Level of Quality
What level of quality are you looking for? Are you looking for a "workman-like" job, or do you want it at a specific level such as for NCRS events, or a custom show quality job? I remember getting estimates to paint my mother's car a few years ago. It was in good shape, but in need of paint. I first went to several local body shops, and then decided to visit one of the major chain paint shops. In looking at examples of their work, I wasn't very impressed with what I saw. Being unable to restrain myself from pointing out what I thought, I heard words of wisdom from the young shop manager: "Hey, you don't go to Burger King for filet mignon . . . " He was right, and I'll always remember that.
Level of Involvement
How much of the work, if any, do you plan to do yourself? For example, will you be doing some or most of the work to obtain the various parts needed, or will you rely on the shop to do that? There is more time spent in managing a project than you might think. Do you plan to do that yourself, or leave it to the restorer? You could likely reduce your costs by at least handling those aspects. Do you plan to do some of the actual restoration work, such as the upholstery installation, mechanical restoration or assembly work yourself? Many shops will work with you to focus on just those jobs which you can't or don't want to do yourself, which would also reduce your costs.
What is your timeframe to start and complete the project? You may well face the reality that your timeframe and that of the shop does not mesh as well as you would like. Often the best shops will have a lengthy list of projects underway or scheduled. Frankly, shops that don't would raise a question mark in our minds. While there could be other factors at work, the best shops should be in demand, even in a tough economy. It's also a given that the larger projects are likely going to take longer than you thought. When putting our project plans together, I usually double the timeframe for long-term projects, as that has turned out to be closer to reality.

Also, when I shut down or restart, I see the XFCE splash. Something that fully didn't uninstall?
Best Answer Karl L. , 19 November 2012 - 00:38
To disable the splash image altogether: remove splash from the command line arguments passed to your kernel at boot time in /etc/defaults/grub, then run sudo update-grub and reboot. You will not have any splash screen. This is how I boot all of my Linux systems (because I like to see what is going on in the background while it is booting).
To change the desktop splash to something else entirely, use update-alternatives. (Note: It would be best if this image were moved to somewhere like /usr/share/images, chown to root:root, chmod to 644, and in png or svg format.)
$ sudo update-alternatives --set desktop-splash <path_to_new_splash_here>Go to the full post

I'd agree that rep is bullshit. People rep one another for saying stupid shit, if it's at the expense of someone they've somehow managed to hate without ever meeting them.
But really, IceCold48, I have two issues:
1: When I said I you weren't coming off as particularly bright, the trollwork you just executed with Sniggles is what I'm referring to. You both have the potential to contribute more to the board...but that volley of garbage isn't cutting it.
2: you haven't even remotely responded to the content in my post as to why it's idiotic to call Vitor a cheater. You'd gone on record saying something like "if someone cheats, why can't you call him a cheater?" Assuming you got past the first two lines, after reading my posts, are you still inclined to call Vitor a cheater?

Wish List 2.0
That said, in a recent discussion with LEGO, I was told that LEGO not only appreciated the Wish List, but that they want to do it again. I was told that LEGO wanted a way to listen to its fans/customers and to also possibly respond. So, here's your (2nd) chance.
I've created a new discussion section in our forum called "Wish List 2.0 Discussion" and in there are two posts. One post sets the rules for posting. The other post is where you'll actually put your Wish List items.
LEGO has told me that the Wish List doesn't have to be limited to just hardware... software, firmware, and other products related to NXT are all allowed.
Please take this opportunity and let LEGO know what's on your mind. I guarantee they'll be looking in on this discussion and you never know who might respond. I'll continue to push for some feedback on Wish List 1.0, but for now, we'll start with a clean slate. LEGO has expressed their desire to know what we, the customers, want from MINDSTORMS in the near and far future, so don't hold back.

I would like a true castor part. I visualize a small ball (about 1 cm in diameter) surrounded by a hemisphere shaped case (a little bigger than a half-shell so that it curves back inward to keep the small ball from falling out) and a single peg connector coming out of the top of the shell. This would allow true 360 degree rolling for the third wheel of a three-wheeled robot. A regular wheel castor (I've built several designs) requires you to align the wheel everytime you start a mission (FLL) to get consistant directional results.

I want top to bottom programming, not this left to right programming.
Also I want text programming for I can post it in forums. Maybe it could be like EasyC where you can 'block it', or 'text it'.
But you should be able to 'paist' it in to the code.
I want feedback from the servos, like the Robotis Bioloid, where you can get feedback on temp, speed, torue, and more.
All around more programming fetures, like more 'stock' blocks.
In NXT-G 2.0 I will want to import 1.0 code.
I want to inport 1.0 3rd party programming blocks.
I want better CAD software. In LDD 2.0 you can not make stuff like the "NXTLiftBoy".
I like how you can see what parts you have used in LDD 2.0.
Maybe have three kits, one for robot newbies, an upgrade for the people who have NXT 1.0, and a kit for advanced users.

I'd like to know why LEGO retail stores don't sell Technic parts in packs, even though such packs exist.
Maybe it's just my retailer in MA, but this particular LEGO franchise sells no Technic parts of any kind, only the Technic kits.
Surely they could stock a few Technic packs in every store?

- AlexD said...
Many thanks to Lego for the LDD package with NXT parts. I would like to request that more technic parts are added, and publication and part purchases enabled for the technic parts as well (with the exception of the electronics of course... maybe)

- Jim Kelly said...
As Jake mentioned in his comment, these types of requests need to go in the forum. They will get lost as this post moves out of the way and gets archived.
LEGO will most likely NOT see these requests in a few days time.
- Aug 2, 2007, 5:26:00 AM
- Joshua Heinzl said...
Rick - that's because those items are exclusive. Only LEGO stores and TRU can get them. Wish I knew why. If they were smart there would be no exclusives.

Did you try Aptana Studio ?
It's not the fastest around but imo for web dev it's awesome.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 00:15
Update: Although Microsoft's page claims that Blend will be integrated with Visual Studio, we areinformed by Microsoft's XAML tool developers that this is not in fact the case, and Blend will remain as a standalone product, albeit one that is bundled with Visual Studio.
Posted 22 December 2012 - 00:17
Come on Microsoft. This is utterly moronic.
These tools should have been baked into Visual Studio from the start. It's annoying as hell to have a better XAML *designer* in one app, and a better XAML *editor* in another, trying to work on the same file simultaneously.

I did for a long time, it's one of the best Eclipse mods I've seen, although it's a bit intrusive for my liking (it's better to install the full version rather than the Eclipse plugin version). A couple of months ago I started using Netbeans. I was quite pleasantly surprised by it's PHP/HTML/JS/CSS support. It seems quite a lot faster than Eclipse as well.

Microsoft annoys me the way they'll release a nice piece of software one year and then kill it off the next. Be consistent Microsoft.

As many in the biking community are well aware, BikeHampton, Sag Harbor's only bike shop, is no more.
And some know this better than others.
When the shop's owner, Dave Krum, moved to Florida and the store closed its doors in December 2011, it also effectively closed off access to dozens of bicycles, leaving many bike owners who had brought their bikes to the shop to be sold or repaired in limbo. The two-wheelers sat unclaimed off-site for months until finally being recovered by Sag Harbor Village Police Detective Jeff Proctor.
Since news of the hidden bike cache broke in March, Proctor said four former BikeHampton patrons have come to him, hoping to be reunited their bikes. Though Proctor said one of the bikes has yet to be located, the other three were successfully recovered and promptly returned to their owners.
However, that barely makes a dent in the stash.
As of this week, there are approximately 40 bicycles still unclaimed. All of the bikes were taken to BikeHampton either for repairs or for consignment, Proctor said.
"Krum had an eBay business," he explained. Bike owners would bring their racers, commuters or beach cruisers down to the shop, Krum would put them online with a price tag, and — once sold — he'd give the bike owner a portion of the profits.
Though Proctor said he was reluctant to mention the exact location of the unclaimed bicycles, he said they're currently being stored by someone who had previously been affiliated with the business.
"When he found out that [Krum] was closing the doors, he pulled the bikes," Proctor explained.
The detective added he has a full list of the makes and models of all the bikes being stored. So, anyone who describes a missing two-wheel ride that accurately matches up with what Proctor's got on his list will be able to collect his or her bike.
"They need to be descriptive," Proctor said of bike owners, adding that he wants to make sure the bikes go to their proper owners. But, he assured, "the bikes aren't going away."
Anyone still missing a bike from BikeHampton is encouraged to call Det. Procotr at 725-0247.

Sure, you could survive on Clif bars and peanuts when you're camping if you had to, but after a long day of hiking, biking, or skiing, you're going to need a hot meal to truly satisfy your hunger. Cooking over an open fire is fine for hot dogs and marshmallows, but if you plan on eating anything else, you need a camp stove. There is a wide array of different types of camp stoves, but they can be generally divided into two groups—campground stoves and backpacking stoves.
Backpacking stoves are lightweight, compact stoves that are ideal for multi-day trips and solo camping. Although not good when cooking for more than a couple of people, they can't be beat for weight and convenience.Browse Backpacking Stoves
If you're car camping, opt for a campground stove. While heavy and not good for long treks, they're ideal for cooking for a group and much more versatile than backpacking stoves.Browse Campground Stoves

I don't like "fresh" chicken eggs. I like chicken eggs that come from Costco. "Fresh" chicken eggs taste…well…fresh. In fact I only like them in baking, which is why we have LOTS of fresh chicken eggs staring at me every morning when I eat a big bowl of Frosted Flakes instead of eggs.
So now you know, because I'm sure you cared..(NOT). Unfortunately I don't have anything else to write about and only this picture of eggs on my memory card to share. No sewing or stitching or fabric or even my own kid….just eggs.
(the egg holder & towel came from here.)
P.S. this might win as the lamest post I've ever written. :) Except maybe this post where I made the ugliest shirt known to man.

Some of us like cats, dogs, and 'traditional' pets, while others love animals of all sorts. If you or someone you know absolutely loves animals of all kinds, the following three animal garden statues make excellent backyard decor:
- "The Expert Fisherman" Black Bear Statue": This sculpture of a bear is a true work of art that shows the behavior and beauty of a Black Bear with fine, accurate details. If you look close, you might even see the satisfied hungry look in the bear's eyes. Put this sculpture of a wild bear in the backyard to give your place a touch of the wild and pair this excellent sculpture with other statues of forest animals like the Mother's Love Doe and Fawn Sculpture for full effect.
- Sandman and Porker, the Piggies Garden Statues: Pigs can be incredibly cute, especially when they are young. Sandman is fast asleep after eating a full, satisfying meal. However, his friend Porker is still hungry and shows it with alert, inquisitive eyes. These adorable animal garden sculptures make a wonderful compliment to a backyard with garden gnomes and other fun statues.
- The Galapagos Tortoise Statue: This big spectacular sculpture of a giant land tortoise will be one of the most amazing statues in your collection. It looks so real that neighbors might wonder if you have a private zoo.

The season for fighting fire with fire has begun.
Each winter, starting near the first frost and lasting through March, experts set fire to certain forest lands to clear out areas of thick, accumulated brush in advance of the hot, dry summer months.
The process, called prescribed burning, keeps the forests healthy and protects residents from potentially dangerous wildfires that could spread quickly through the brush during the summer.
View a slideshow from a recent prescribed burn
Officials want people to know the smoke they may see billowing into the sky over the next few months is not always cause for alarm.
"Our forests in Northwest Florida are fire-dependent ecosystems that require fire every few years to stay healthy," said Kevin Hiers, who heads the fire management program at Eglin Air Force Base.
The base encompasses about 464,000 acres, most of it dense forest. Much of that land is used for training missions, including weapons exercises, and the prescribed burns help decrease the chance of mission-caused wildfires during the hot months, Hiers said.
Each year, fire managers at Jackson Guard try to burn about 100,000 acres on the reservation. That ensures each part sees fire every few years.
While they conduct prescribed burns throughout the year for different reasons, January, February and March are the most active. About 20,000 acres are burned each month, Hiers said.
Last week, Jackson Guard burned about 2,000 acres near Navarre and at least another 300 near Niceville.
"If we want to simply reduce wildfire risk by consuming surface fuels (brush), now is the best time to burn," Hiers said. "Rain is frequent, wind is predictable, and the fire is not very intense."
He said they might choose a hotter, drier month if the goal is to reduce hardwood encroachment in endangered species' habitats.
Other agencies, including the Florida Forest Service, also conduct prescribed burns in the winter.
"Prescribed fire is really a safe way to apply what would occur naturally," said Brian Goddin, a spokesman for the Forest Service's Chipola district.
He said before houses and roads were built in Florida, lightning strikes would ignite wildfires that would clear sections of the forest and make way for new growth.
If left to its own natural state, Florida actually would replenish itself every three to five years, he said.
Fire specialists have learned how to mimic that natural process using prescribed burns they can control. They try to burn in a similar time period as would naturally occur.
The fires help restore the ecosystem's health and reduce vegetative buildup that could serve as fuel for a catastrophic wildfire, Goddin said.
Burning off the thick brush allows animals to graze in the area and for fresh growth in the spring. It also clears any non-native vegetation that may have traveled in on car tires or some other way.
Goddin said the Forest Service hopes to burn about 2,500 acres each winter in the 15,000-acre Point Washington State Forest in Santa Rosa Beach, but are behind schedule because of rain and weather conditions.
"We've had a lot of wet days," he said. "The fuel —the vegetation — hasn't dried up."
Last week firefighters burned 209 acres, their first prescribed burn in Point Washington this season.
Goddin said it went well.
"Those will be some of the prettiest parts of the forest come spring," he said.
Fire experts look at a number of factors before determining where and when to burn, including weather conditions, wind direction and speed, and how the smoke will disperse into the sky.
Some of the variables aren't always reliable, but when everything goes as planned the specialists can conduct the burn so the smoke lifts up and away or blows onto land that isn't populated. The residents hardly notice an inconvenience.
That's always the intention, said Mike Spaits, Eglin's environmental spokesman.
"Every single time we light on Eglin intentionally, the No. 1 consideration is keeping the smoke on the reservation," he said. "But as Mother Nature has her way of doing, if winds shift, there's nothing we can do about that."
It's rare that prescribed burns lead to unplanned fires. Hiers said Jackson Guard fights more than 100 wildfires a year and rarely even one is caused by a prescribed burn.
But last May, about two weeks after a prescribed burn was completed at Eglin, strong winds from Tropical Storm Beryl reignited the fire and it took off through the reservation.
The fire burned for several days in a swampy area that was difficult for firefighters to reach. It eventually spread to about 2,600 acres northwest of Hurlburt Field.
Hiers said the fire was "very complicated," but did point to some vulnerabilities in managing a fire in that part of Eglin's property.
The tropical storm also came before the official start of the hurricane season. Earlier storms can sit in one place for a long time and bring strong wind but little rain to the area, he said.
"We will definitely be on the lookout to avoid any such scenarios in the future," he said.
He said the fire was stopped quickly because of a great response from mutual aid firefighters and because Jackson Guard had conducted a prescribed burn in an adjacent area earlier in the year which prevented the blaze from spreading further.
"Ultimately, suppression was fast and successful," he said. "Truth be told, the cause could have just as easily been lightning or cigarettes and under those conditions fire moves quickly."

Great shoe, highlighter color fades

Great Shoe at a great Price

Good shoe
By Leftync
from Eastover, NC
I have extremely wide feet. I normally wear an 11-11.5 street shoe, as wide as I can get. I was surprised at how well this felt in a 48. Doesn't feel too long, and the 48 is wide enough for my EEE-EEEE feet. Doesn't work as well in winter, when I double up on thick socks, at least not with a thick Superfeet insole. Insole system is OK, but I'm now using a thinner Superfeet model. Sole seems nice and stiff after a year. Solid, light shoe, especislly if you get it at a good price.

What a bargain!
By Gunner's Dad
from Western Kentucky
These shoes look great and fit perfectly. I am usually nervous about buying anything online that has Euro sizing, but these shoes in size 46.5 fit my size 11.5 feet perfectly. Very comfortable right out of the box. My speedplay cleats attached easily and I am very, very satisfied with my purchase.
Very happy with these shoes
By Wacoskier
from Tyler, Texas
After reading all the reviews I decided to buy the Giro Factors as my first true road bike shoes. Absolutely love them and vey happy with my decision. Feet stay comfortable all day long.
Love 'em
By Ted
from Columbus, OH
See all my reviews
Love these shoes. The 3 different arch support inserts are nice. The tongue of the shoe rides a little high on my ankle and I have to make sure the notch in the tongue adjusted correctly. It may still be a pressure point later on. Easton carbon in the sole and the shoes appear quite durable (unlike some italian-brand road shoes that wouldn't last if you walked more than a few steps in them after getting off the bike.) I was a little worried about the hi-lighter yellow color at first but now that I have them I think it's a really nice accent.
The shoe that fits

For my feet this brand works well, narrow foot,somewhat of a lower arch.
Good Shoe, Too bad it's a closeout
By Raybike
from Auburn, CA
The first pair I ordered had to be returned. I read the comments of previous customers and thought I'd better order a size up. Mistake! Way too big! I ordered my regular size (43) and it was even a little loose. A fleece and foam insole fixed that nicely. The shoes are very stiff (definitely not for walking) and seem to prevent any numbness in the foot. A very good shoe but too bad they're discontinued.
great shoes
By crankin
from Wisconsin
I got these shoes as a gift for Christmas. I have several hundred miles on the trainer. They are the best cycling shoes I've ever owned. Hands down. Light and comfortable. I love having them on my feet. My last pair of Sidis would hurt my feet. I tried several inserts. They would still hurt. I tried these Giros with the custom insert (included with the shoes) and they are awesome. I researched these shoes before telling my wife that I wanted them as a Christmas present. One thing I found was a claim that since Giro has just entered the new shoe market, and they have taken it by storm. They have claimed 25% market share. No surprise. My only dislike is that I think they look kinda plain. You can see that in the pictures. But hey, they are so light and comfy, I can live with the mediocre styling. These are legit..... oh, and the buckle is intuitive, too. Easy to use on and off. Can be done with one hand. Nice simple design.
tough fit but nice shoe
By Josh-- spinning
from NYC
I use the shoes for "spinning" so the fact that I had to order them in a size that might be a bit too big seems fine. The 44.5's were just a bit too snug in the center of my foot and my toes just touched the end. I read somewhere that the latter is OK but I wasn't willing to chance having problems with my toes so I went for the 45s, which still feel a bit big in the toe but otherwise fit OK. PLus I got them in yellow so they look really cool!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Air Quality Apps and Bottled Air Thrive On Beijing's Pollution 102 102

from the one-man's-trash dept.
itwbennett writes "Here's a bright spot in Beijing's off-the-chart bad air pollution: The market for mobile apps that monitor air quality is thriving. 'When the pollution went beyond the air quality index, all the social networks in China and media began paying attention to the problem,' said Wang Jun, one of the developers of the China Air Pollution Index app. 'This caused the downloads to increase 30 times.'" Obviously a Spaceballs fan, a Chinese man is even selling fresh air in cans.

HELP documentation - legacy motor and sensor
I've taken a couple of screenshots of the HELP documentation provided with the NXT software. You'll notice the asterisk (*) added to the names of some of the items indicating a legacy item.
4 comments:
Temperature sensor too.
The existance of those blocks in the software & the note indicating that you need a converter cable really seem to lean towards the ability to 'unlock' those block's use in the programming environment. Otherwise, why include their existance in the retail version of the software.
(Or have the MDP'ers been given the educational version??)
I really hope that this is just some kind of setting to 'open' up the use of those blocks, or that they aren't even locked out at all.

I've received an email from Lisbeth with the Education NXT blog...
I'll be posting something tonight or tomorrow to go over the new information.

Thank you Jim.

My guess is that if the blocks are locked away (which I doubt), you will be able to unlock them by editing the preference file. In LabVIEW, editing this file can enable and unlock all sorts of undocumented features. You will probably have to add something like "legacy = true" to the file with any standard text editor. The exact text may be quite dificult to determine.
