I've done the Peachtree Road Race a couple of times in the past.I think it must be like childbirth, because I would have to forget how bad I hurt before I could think about doing it again. Last year, I actually put some effort into getting ready for it. I worked on my treadmill (woefully inadequate to the real challenge). I got a cute outfit, good shoes, and ate bananas and all that. I completed the race in about an hour and three-quarters; merely content that I didn't die, and I wasn't last. This year at Connecting Henry, we started looking at new and different programs for kids, trying to keep them active and out of trouble. I spoke to Nicole Elkins and Melissa Chapman from Park Avenue Bank, and they, in turn, got me all fired up about running again. They both swore that if I would get off my treadmill and out of doors, that I would be hooked. And it is only fair that, if I'm going to advocate for a program for teens, that I take a dose of my own medicine and practice what I preach. They may be right. I've gotten out in my area a couple of times by myself. It's OK, but I have to have my iPod to help pass the time. Listening to the sound of my own huffing and puffing is not exactly encouraging. Back in April, I tried my first 5K at Truett's for the Run of the Mill. We got done with the race, and I was basking in the self-satisfaction of having done it. I was even feeling pretty good after we got back to the house. Thought I'd probably get up and do 10 miles on Sunday. When I woke up that first Sunday, I felt like I'd been beaten from the inside out, starting up at my nose all the way down to my little piggie toes. And dern if I didn't do it again. The first weekend in May, I did Usher's 5K at Crystal Lake. Now, I certainly didn't make any miraculous improvement, but I shaved a couple of minutes off my time, and I did not have the newbie pain the next day. Now, before you think I'm an overachiever, I'm actually just like most people I know. On Saturday morning, I'd much rather lounge around in bed, sip coffee, and go eat fried, dead something for breakfast. And the older I get, the harder it is to get the fried, dead something off of my tailgate weight. So, I'm now foraging into the world of the healthy. Don't be alarmed, I'm never going to eat bean sprouts and quit drinking coffee. But, I am learning about the Universe of the Active Human. The inhabitants come in every size, age, and shape. They follow www.active.com to locate whatever physical activity can be tracked within a certain distance of a given city. They also seek out others who are cardio-chums, because it is much easier to do this as a group than as a loner. First, it is safer, and second, it really helps to hear, "You can do it." My personal motivation is to finally catch up to one particular Daddy-type who brings three kids and pushes a baby stroller - and makes it across the finish line in the first wave. Yeah buddy - I'll catch him one of these days. Denise Rodgers is executive director of Connecting Henry, a social-services, networking, community organization in Henry County.

I have some strange problem with my front panel. I have a bluetooth dongle plugged in to the front panel USB port (A) and the other port on this front panel is free. When I try to put a thumb drive to other USB port (B) I get "unrecognized USB device". However when I swap ports (Bluetooth to B, thumb drive to A), everything seems to work fine. What might be wrong?

Do you have comments or questions about Disney attractions which have moved on to that big Yesterland in the sky? If so, this is your forum.
Welcome to Yesterland!
-The MiceChat Crew
I am a huge fan of Yesterland.com!
I am so glad to see that Yesterland is now partnered with MiceAge/MiceChat. It is the site that lead me to a great group of Disney Geeks. It also helped me stay in touch with Disneyland when I lived in Colorado.
Welcome to the MiceAge/MiceChat family. :)
I do miss Mr.Toad's Wild Ride at Disney World and I would have love to have checked out 20 Leagues Under the Sea.
I totally love the history/past of Disneyland, especially the stuff that I never had a chance to see, to see how the park has evolved over time is great. Yesterland is such a great site!
Will there be a way for people to submit pictures for Yesterland to Werner Weiss? I would love to go back and scan some of my old Disneyland photos to send in to him.
I love this site! Thanks for bringing it under the tent!
FYI Folks - Werner has kindly offered to Moderate this section of the site. I'm sure he would be happy to address any questions that you may have about Yesterland. This is a real privilege for all of us and we are so pleased to have Werner on the team!
Welcome Yesterland!!!
Even though I wasn't around during the good ol' days of DL, I'm always facinated by the things that were once there :)
*I think I spoke to fast earlier* I will take the time to look at Yesterland sometime.
Yay Yesterland is here! I LOVE it! :love: Welcome! (and Thank You!)
Yay! Thanks!
cool Forum! Nice to have here at micechat!
This is a wonderful forum. I have been around to see most of Disneyland's 51 years, and worked there through eight of them.
I have loved Yesterland for years, and I consider the site to be a must-see for Disney fans.
Werner, welcome to MiceChat. You might recall that I did a radio commentary some years back called "What Barry Thinks" in Ventura, and did a piece on your site one day.
I do have some questions, but I'll save them until you get your chance to get your feet wet around here.
Question #1 for Werner:
Is that pronounced "Werner" or "Verner"?
Question #2:
Is it possible to add photos of "What's left of it"? Easy one is the Fantasyland Skyway terminus, probably already a picture of that. The other day, though, someone was asking for a photo of the foundation of the House of the Future, now decorated with a statue of King Triton, I believe.

The Edain Mod aims to take you deeper into Middle-Earth than ever before and create a game worthy of Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson's movies. In our quest for lore accuracy, visual quality and deeper gameplay, we overhauled every aspect of the original game to craft a new, immersive Lord of the Rings experience. Discover the new factions of Lothlorien and Rohan, field new units and heroes for each of the existing factions, enjoy a visual style closer to the movies and unleash the power of the One Ring with individual Ring heroes for every factions. Light or Shadow, Defender or Conqueror... the choice is yours.
Oct 17th, 2012 18 people agree 28 people don't
Mordor and other evil factions are overpowered including their heroes and ringheroes. Especially Lorien and Imladris are too weak and their ringheros are not powerful enough to be ringheroes (and Galadriel is far too weak to be Galadriel. Make it to be like in the Lone Wolf mod: two palantir and stronger powers, etc.)... All ringheroes should be as powerful as Sauron, because now it's not fair. Almost all good factions are underpowered. Ents should be better than trolls (except armoured ones), because it's been said in the book too. Giants are maybe too powerful and Morgul knights too. Lack of resources with some factions. So the balance is not good enough for me. Many awful unit sounds. And not in English... But good things: skins, textures, models, graphics, number of factions and versatility.

Grab Some Scotch, "Anchorman 2″ Trailers Are Here!!
Two new trailers from the highly-anticipated Anchorman sequel were unleashed on the world this weekend. Both teasers debuted in theaters with The Dictator, and both will most likely result in jean creamin'….
U.S. Trailer:
International Trailer:
As you can see, the sequel will star the entire cast of the original (Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner), along with a couple other A-list ringers. I can only hope Baxter makes a cameo as well.
It's expected to hit theaters — and be back on top — summer of 2013.

You obviously have the equipment needed for machining cf so I wonder why you wouldn't have just used either a thicker piece of cf or machine a thicker piece of aluminum to replace the stock motor plate and eliminate the flexing.

OLED technology flexes its muscles
New flat panel display technology set to take market by storm
At this year's CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, a display technology that drew particular attention was OLED (organic light emitting diode). It currently represents only a tiny proportion of flat panels, used mainly in smartphones and tablet computers, but this is set to change dramatically, as it is now ready to compete in the computer and TV markets. A new IEC International Standard specifies measuring methods of visual quality and ambient performance for OLED display modules and panels.
Bright and wide
OLED displays can provide high contrast ratio, fast-response time, wide colour gamut, and a wide viewing angle while operating with low power consumption. In addition, OLED technology enables the production of thin devices that can be both flexible and transparent. This makes OLED displays ideal for mobile devices. Large-scale production of AMOLED (active matrix OLED) displays helped drive high-volume sales of certain models of smartphones (see article on OLED technology in this e-tech).
OLED technology, initially limited to small screens, made great progress in 2011 and is now expected to be introduced in computer monitors and TV sets. The first large (55 inch) market-ready TVs were unveiled at the 2012 CES.
OLED display revenues are estimated to be around USD4 billion in 2011 (about 4% of flat panel display revenues) and are forecast to exceed USD 20 billion (approximately 16% of the total display sector) by 2018.
Expansion made possible by standards
This expansion of the OLED industry is made possible in no small part by the work of TC (Technical Committee) 110: Electronic display devices (see article on TC 110 in this e-tech). TC 110 recently published a new International Standard, IEC 62341-6-2, OLED displays – Measuring methods of visual quality and ambient performance. This International Standard, the fifth in the 62341 series, is mainly applicable to colour display modules.
Comprehensive measurements
The document "specifies the standard measurement conditions and methods for determining the visual quality and ambient performance of OLED display modules and panels". It describes the environmental and lighting conditions (dark-room and ambient-illumination). It also lists the requirements for human visual inspection of static images for different types of visible defects, stressing that "human visual inspection and comparison against limit samples remains the most universal system for grading and classification of visual defects".
To illustrate the various issues, this International Standard gives sample images of visible defects and various diagrams and figures, such as an example of visual inspection room setup for control of ambient room lighting and reflections.
This International Standard, like others in the same series, will help manufacturers of OLED modules and displays produce high-quality products and will represent a guarantee for consumers of devices with OLED displays.

This package contains 12 scripts, developed using Python and GIMP 2.8, which objective is to serve as templates and as code samples to programmers that are new in Python-Fu scripting.
In order to install these scripts, you must copy them in the "plug-ins" folder of GIMP (normally "GIMP 2/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins").
After installed, the scripts can be found in "Filters -> Test".
Basic scripts
These scripts are basic examples of how to create a Python plugin.
== Pythoh-Fu samples ==
This simple plugin was created in response to a request here.
It simply samples the entire image colour, and allows you to either:
- Display the RGB or grey values
- Set the foregound colour
- Set the background colour
- Add it to the current palette (if editable)
There is a toggle to sample just the layer, or the merged image.
It registers in the Colour menu as "Sample Average Colour..." and should work for RGB, indexed, or greyscale images.
This script compliments my "Sample Gradient Along a Path" script and was originally developed to generate the gradients bundled here. This script simply scales the image to be 1 px high and samples across it, so it only works correctly with horizontal gratent images.
You can however create some interesting gradients with other images. For example, an image that is 1/2 black and 1/2 white diagonally will creat a gratent that blends linearly from black to white!

Things I liked:Good value for the breech
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:All went well, except: Your order dept. stated that Fed X does not deliver to a Po Box # and the order was on hold. Fed X does deliver to a Po Box #
Things I liked:EASY CHANGE OVER. REPLACED ON 2240 ADDED A 24" BARREL AND A 3-9 POWER GOLDEN ANTLER SCOPE. GUN SHOOTS JUST AS ACCURATE AS A 2260 BUT A HELL OF A LOT LIGHTER AND MUCH QUIETER. SHOULD HAVE THIS OPTION TO COME THIS WAY!!!!! LIKE A 2240S (STEEL BREACH)
What others should know:MAKE SURE THE BARREL IS INSERTED ALL THE WAY AND OIL ALL SEALS BEFORE REASSEMBLY.
Things I liked:The heft this kit adds to the feel and balance of the air gun is outstanding. With a 3x9 scope added it is super accurate. Was shooting aspirin bottle caps off a shelf while they were lying flat, from 20 yards. A sight picture only 3/8 inch high.
Things I would have changed:The directions were slightly confusing. I have the .22 model and the directions were for the .177 model.
What others should know:I wasn't pleased with the adjustable sights (LPA MIM). I ran out of vertical adjustment trying to get the front sight down. All the way down the gun was still shooting high. That's the reason for the scope.

Auburn linebacker coach James Willis will be taking a new job, and it's a job that many Auburn fans won't like. Alabama confirmed Wednesday that Willis will be joining Nick Saban's staff at the University of Alabama as Associate Head Coach.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to come and work with Coach Saban at the University of Alabama," Willis said in a prepared statement. "He is one of the best defensive coaches in the game and this is a chance to gain some great experience and learn from the best. You don't get many chances like that in the coaching business. When you combine that opportunity with the history and tradition at Alabama, it was a decision that was best for me personally as well as professionally. I know my wife and the kids are as excited as I am to join Coach Saban's staff."
With only two weeks before National Signing Day, the move comes at a curious time. Willis is known around the SEC as a strong coach and an even stronger recruiter. At Auburn, he was heavily involved in recruiting the talent-rich Mobile, Ala. area. With Auburn going through an off-season coaching change and Alabama coming off the SEC West title, the coup to get Willis will undoubtedly send shockwaves through the football-frenzied state.
Willis played three seasons at Auburn under former coach Pat Dye between 1990-92, before leaving early for the NFL. While at Auburn, Willis was an All-SEC performer in 1992. Willis enjoyed a long professional career, playing seven seasons in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks, as well as one season with the Birmingham Thunderbolts of the now-defunct XFL. Prior to the move, he was the only holdover on Gene Chizik's Auburn staff from Tommy Tuberville's previous regime.

July 2, 2013 — Everyone reading this has visited federal web sites and been shocked at their "billboard" nature.
When you visit healthcare.gov you see a great example of a federal web site that can run with the best.
On today's show, host John Gilroy interviews Mark Pietrasanta, CTO, and Sean Fitzpatrick, director of Web Experience from Aquilent.
They were a leading part of the team that created healthcare.gov.
During the discussion we learn the value of creating personas, testing, and aligning design with agency goals.
In web design, a persona is a fictional character who the designers focus on.
For example, if the audience you anticipate visits sites with a mobile device, then you should make the site easy for mobile navigation.
Software developers are famous for testing code before release.
In the case of web design, creators watch how test subjects move around the page.
This way, adjustments can be made to improve ease of use.
Designing a user friendly web site has no value unless these tasks are aligned with the agencies goals.
Here, the objective is to give visitors more information on various health insurance plans.
How the US Mint and NIST are perfecting the money-making process.

They appear. When they do they donŌĆÖt yet have names. I donŌĆÖt conjure them up and never do I expect them. Like I said-they just appear out of nowhere.
Nowhere sounds like a lonely place. Just saying the word makes me feel lost and alone. Try it. You say it. ŌĆśNowhere.ŌĆØ How did that make you feel? This past week I was going nowhere and I was going there fast.
That husband and I didnŌĆÖt really have any plans. We were chomping at the bit to do something but we didnŌĆÖt know where to do it let alone what to do. Doing nothing nowhere is a double negative and we were on our way to both.
Employees and volunteers at the Valley City National Fish Hatchery were busy Wednesday stocking a recreational fishing pond for youth with breeder black crappies, readying the fishing hole for use.
Noah Kvilang, 15, a student at Valley City High School, was dipping nets full of the young adult fish out of a tank on a trailer towed by a pickup truck and emptying them into the pond.
Kvilang said he helped out earlier this summer in the Youth Conservation Corps, and decided to continue helping as a volunteer.
Barnes County Deputy Auditor Julie Mindt was selected Tuesday by the Barnes County Commission to temporarily fill the role of resigning County Auditor Ed McGough. McGough officially vacated his seat on Wednesday.

A provocative figure on the political Right, Andrew Breitbart, died suddenly, of natural causes, very early in the morning on 1 March. He was forty-three years old.
A remarkable number of bloggers and tweeters on the political Left vocally celebrated his death, which leaves his wife a widow and his four young children orphans.
Reading Jim Geraghty's reflections on this distasteful phenomenon, I couldn't help but be reminded of the, to my mind, truly extraordinary personal hostility that I and other believing Latter-day Saints have encountered from many ex-Mormons of a secularizing bent.
Once or twice, I've started to keep an unsystematic file of some of the epithets and insults that have been hurled my way — many of them too obscene to cite here — but I've never followed through with the effort, and have long since mislaid most of them. Here, though, are three relatively mild samples from the single surviving file that I can locate:
"Dan Peterson is a condescending, passive-aggressive douchebag."
"one of the most evil and degenerate people that the Church has ever produced"
"a mean self-important ego-maniac"
Unfortunately, I've misplaced or lost the ones that call for my early death, lampoon my appearance, propose various plans to get me fired and ruin my career and/or engineer my excommunication from my church, and pronounce me a pervert, and I'm deliberately excluding the comments about my children, the obscene remarks about my wife, and other charming things of that sort. I've been threatened with law suits. I've actually been sued, for $4.5 million dollars (good luck with that!), on utterly frivolous grounds. (Incidentally, the case was ultimately dismissed by the judge "with prejudice," but not before it had consumed considerable time and money for approximately two years.) I've been described for many years now by a certain class of my critics as a sadist, a slanderer, an incompetent pseudo-scholar, a fantasist of homicidal violence, a Nazi-sympathizer, a deliberate destroyer of families, a racist, a religious bigot, an anti-Semite, a misogynist, a madman, a "homophobe," a voyeur, a conscious wrecker of jobs, a theo-fascist, and etc. And, of course, many more times than I can possibly count, as a liar.
I think I can honestly say that I feel no such hostility toward those with whom I disagree, and have never felt it. In fact, I'm on friendly terms with a number of very negative critics of my religious beliefs, as with many who don't share my libertarian-leaning conservative political views. And — my writing is on public display, easily accessible for inspection — I simply don't write such things about other people.
The reactions of some Left-leaning bloggers and tweeters to Andrew Breitbart's death also reminded me of the late Christopher Hitchens's graceless remarks on the death of Rev. Jerry Falwell back in 2007.
Hitchens had, famously, been a Trotskyite for much of his life, and, although he later came to be associated by many people with the Neoconservative Right because of his support for "the war on terror," he pretty clearly remained a man of the Left. (I myself support the poorly named "war on terror" in general and in principle, but I often suspected, rather uncomfortably, that Hitchens's enthusiasm for it owed as much to his deep hostility to religion in general and to Islam in particular as to any political ideas we might share.)
I'm guessing — it's a reasonably informed guess — that most if not all of those rejoicing in the death of Andrew Breitbart are not only on the relatively far Left politically but religiously secular.
Which leaves me wondering whether this vitriolic personal hatred might be a peculiar characteristic of some on the secular Left, and, if so, why that would be. (I honestly don't know.)
So far as I'm aware, few if any on the Right or among strong religious believers responded with glee to the announcement of Hitchens's ultimately fatal esophageal cancer. (Quite the contrary, in fact: Many Christian believers included him in their prayers.) I'm not aware of anybody chortling with repulsive joy at his death. (If anybody did, it was surely not in the conservative or religious equivalent of Slate, where Christopher Hitchens published his reaction to Rev. Falwell's death, or on CNN, where he voiced similar sentiments.)
And, although there are more than a few believing Mormons who, under the anonymity of the internet, allow themselves to say things that they shouldn't, I genuinely don't think I see the level of vitriol and venom among on-line Mormons that I see all too often among their opposites on line. Somebody can probably find a few exceptions but, in my experience, real bloodcurdling nastiness is, at a minimum, far more common coming from the other side.
(A couple of years ago, seated at an open air cafe in Vienna, I found myself only a few feet away from Bill Maher. I'm not, to put it mildly, a fan of his. I don't even think he's particularly funny, just mildly clever and strikingly shallow And he's been quite vicious in his mockery of my religious beliefs. But, even though I had a plate of Hungarian goulash in front of me that would obviously have looked very nice dripping from his head, I found it easy to resist the temptation, and didn't even say anything to him.)
My sense is that most if not quite all of the agnostic/atheistic critics of Mormonism who engage in such intemperate, hateful, personal attacks on believing Latter-day Saints (or, at least, on the hated Mormon "apologists") are also on the political Left — indeed, fairly far over on the spectrum.
Is there something about the intersection of Leftist politics and secularizing worldviews that permits certain personality types to so dehumanize their opponents? To forget that those they're seeking to destroy are real people, with families and friends?
I'm sincerely puzzled by the phenomenon.

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Pro Football Writer The Minnesota Vikings must play perhaps their best yet this season to emerge from the last six games with a playoff spot, let alone a winning record. The defensive line will have a big part in this. They visit Chicago on Sunday and Green Bay the week after, facing the NFC North co-leaders with 7-3 records. The Vikings are right behind them at 6-4. Bears quarterback Jay Cutler missed the last game because of a concussion. He's taken the second-most sacks in the league with 28. Aaron Rodgers of the Packers is first with 32. After tying for the NFL lead with 50 sacks last year, the Vikings have slipped a bit. They're tied for 11th in the league with 26. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Yes, I went Crazy Town on you. Look, the more and more you do this, the more you realize there are good title days and bad title days. And let me tell you this friends. Today is an amazing day. You know what the opposite of amazing is? Tim Lincecum in your left ocular region. Even though his star had been dimming slowly each year since 2009, many if not most did not predict such a precipitous drop. And when I say drop, it's a landing that made a convincing doo-doo splat, but with fake dubstep. I feel like I am just too close to up-WUB you. You know, that's a good ZZZZUHHHH CHUHHHHHHH BZZZZZZZAAAAAA Doo-doo splat! WAAAAAAW WAAAAAAAAWA WAWAAAHHHH!!!! During the two seasons before 2012, his strikeout rate dropped while his walk rate increased, both trending in a non-zesty direction. While he had a slight up-tick in his fastball velocity in 2011, the improved velocity did not show up in his SwStr% (swinging strike percentage), scoring a 10.7% from a 11.0%. It was an unlikely proposition...

Former Spur Keith Bogans waived by New Jersey
Former Spur Keith Bogans was waived by New Jersey Tuesday, less than a day after he underwent surgery for season-ending injuries yesterday. Bogans, who averaged 4.4 points in 79 games and 50 starts for the Spurs in 2009-10, signed with Chicago as a free agent after leaving the Spurs. After playing one season with the […] [Read More]
Game rewind: Spurs had a lot going right heading into Saturday's win
Give the Spurs a day of rest, Gregg Popovich a day of practice and Manu Ginobili a chance to return to the lineup and good results should be expected. The Spurs' 103-89 victory over struggling New Jersey Saturday night wasn't really much of a surprise. It continued the Spurs' strong charge through the Rodeo Road Trip […] [Read More]
Spurs have light workout as they prepare for finishing road trip
The Spurs worked out for less than 40 minutes as a team Sunday morning before they took the afternoon off to prepare for the season-ending road trip. Rookie forward Tiago Splitter was the most dedicated worker as he spent an extra 35 minutes after practice working on his free-throw stroke. At times, up to five […] [Read More]
Five quick thoughts: Why Derrick Rose really deserves that MVP
The United Center crowd kept the chant going all night long on Thursday. Considering the way that Derrick Rose sliced through the Spurs, it's not really surprising the Silver and Black will leave for the All-Star break with sounds of "MVP, MVP" ringing in their ears. Rose talked about how important Thursday's game was to build […] [Read More]
Spurs' starting unit stability has been key
When Kevin Brock announces the starting lineup tonight at the AT&T Center, he should be reasonably sure who will be coming out of the Spurs' huddle. The Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers are the only two teams in the league to start the same lineup for every game so far this season. That stability […] [Read More]
Athletic Bulls should be huge challenge tonight for Spurs
Gregg Popovich is girding for a big challenge tonight when Central Division-leading Chicago visits the AT&T Center. The athletic Bulls appear to be grasping the nuances of new coach Tom Thibodeau's defensive strategy during a four-game winning streak that includes a 95-92 victory at Houston last night. The Bulls have allowed opponents to score 92, 90, […] [Read More]
The Bogans fallout
On Sept. 23, the Spurs somewhat surprisingly signed veteran guard Keith Bogans to a guaranteed minimum contract, making him the last man in for training camp. The rationale offered by general manager R.C. Buford at the time was simple: After the June trade for Richard Jefferson that sent Bruce Bowen to Milwaukee and then into […] [Read More]
Bogans gets a guarantee
Just a quick update on the contract that journeyman guard Keith Bogans is set to sign with the Spurs. According to Mike Harrison, Bogans' agent, the one-year deal is indeed fully guaranteed at the veteran minimum of $1.03 million. Harrison says Bogans was talking with other teams throughout the process, including the Denver Nuggets, but […] [Read More]

Auburn Senior
40: 4.87
Has a good motor and shows a decent enough first step to get penetration and press the pocket. Is able to work laterally down the line and make stops in pursuit. Better athlete than he looks and is able to close on scrambling passer in space. Shows ability to beat the guard with a swim move and flashes potential as a bull rusher. Gets some push and willing to take on double teams.
Needs to do a better job anchoring at the point of attack, and can get swarmed under by the double teams. Doesn't really get off blocks and make stops at the point of attack. Gets redirected too easily.
Clayton is a nice disruptive player that was probably aided by playing beside Nick Fairley. But he had a solid year for Auburn, and is a guy that has the ability to compete and fit well in a one-gap disruptive scheme. He finished the year with 28 tackles, 8 for loss, and 1 sack. He served as a backup his first few seasons, but was productive in a limited role, having 22 tackles, 7.5 for loss, and 4.5 sacks as a sophomore. Had his junior year cut short by a high ankle sprain which forced him out of 7 games. He also competed at track at Auburn, being part of the discuss and hammer throw during his sophomore year.
Clayton should be able to carve a niche for himself as a reserve rotational guy in a 4-3 scheme. He has just enough size and strength to play in a 3-4, but his upside is limited. He's not a space eater much, but much more effective when he can use his quickness and strength to be disruptive. He's not a playmaker, and many of the plays he made were thanks in part for having a player like Fairley across from him. But he is a contributor that can help stuff the run. He needs to get better there, but flashes the sort of hand use and leverage that you want to see in that role. He's probably a career backup, but is comfortable playing the nose spot. The player I could compare him to is someone like Jeff Zgonina, who managed to have a very long NFL career as a rotational guy and nose player. He'll have a sack here and there when the QB steps up in the pocket, but his value is as a No. 4 guy that can help stuff the run and put some pressure on the QB.
Clayton is a good fit in Atlanta because of his motor, strength, and ability to help beef up the run defense. In the Falcons scheme, he would have a role comparable to Vance Walker as the No. 4 defensive tackle. He's good enough to give Walker a run for his money, but probably is destined to the practice squad as a rookie. A year or so down the road, and he should improve enough to make the roster outright. He'll never be flashy, but coaches will appreciate because he's a hard-worker and manages his role fairly well. He can help keep better and more impactful tackles fresh, and occasionally contribute to make a stop or sack every now and then himself.
Clayton adds depth to the roster, but because of his limited upside as just a role player he probably only merits seventh round attention.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 3.0
Point Of Attack: 2.5
Quickness: 3.0
Pass Rush: 2.0
Motor: 3.5

Alas, the asphalt didn't last...
I have taken my marine biologist hat off and I'm going to put on my geologist hat. Of course I don't have the knowledge to do either. I'm a geek...
However, I was speculating inside my helmet. Does anyone else do that? Hmmm, I wonder if that's really....?
Anyway, I was taking a few photos of what I thought "could be" the debris field from the impact crater. You see all of these LARGE boulders around the edges of the crater.
I know it's not a great photo but there are lots of big rocks strewn about over a very large area.
A video of this area:
We then began seeing large sections of hills/mountains having strange "blemishes".
The further we drove the more the road deteriorated. This was by far the worst section we had seen in quite awhile. I would hate to drive this when wet. Then we began seeing more railroad track and bundles of brand new ties about to be replaced.
Still more "blemishes".
I don't care what your beliefs or feelings are about mining. Or better yet, open pit mining. If you are an adventure rider you are probably riding to see the beauty of the environment. Well, open pit mining takes that away. I know we need to obtain the resources but we really need to find a better way.
The next few photos are of the Mont Wright mining operation. They are "moving" the mountain. You approach from one angle and can't see anything then BOOM you round a corner and see this:
An almost pure red lake. That's not normal....
I was saddened by what I was seeing. The orange flags I had been seeing on pick-up trucks was beginning to make sense.
Mont Wright
was being mined. Destroyed. Nothing but a hole in the ground now.
The mining company responsible:
A few more photos:
The tailings of the previous Mont Wright.
Notice the tires? Imagine those on a LARGE truck trying to run a motorcycle over.
A few other videos after Gagnon but before the mining operations:
Enough of the mining and downer type photos.
Next up? Success!!!! We did it!

Separation only costs 15 euros per tonne
With lightweight construction and the common-rail fuel injection system, a Lower Bavarian engine manufacturer succeeded in reducing the fuel consumption of its industrial diesel engines.
Combined with an exhaust gas recirculation system, the emission of nitrogen oxides is decreased significantly. The involved research activities are presented in the BINE-Projektinfo brochure "Durable diesel engine with electronic control" (06/2014).
The engine manufacturers Hatz developed the concept for diesel engines in machinery such as forklifts and lifting platforms. These applications require a particularly robust and durable engine. To meet the requirements, the engineers employed a type of electronic control not yet applied in this area.
The conventional control system for industrial diesel engines in the performance class of up to 56 kW is a mechanical one. The employed electronically controlled injection system is designed for a relatively high pressure of 1,800 bar.
At this high pressure, the fuel is distributed finely and homogeneously, allowing for a more efficient combustion. Combined with exhaust gas recirculation, this leads to fewer soot particles.
Consumption and emission can be further reduced with a compact design. The developers succeeded in reducing the weight of the engine by 90 kg compared with previous models. To do this, they lowered the number of individual components by one quarter.
The BINE-projectinfobrochure, which can be obtained free of charge from the BINE Information Service at FIZ Karlsruhe, is available online at www.bine.info or by calling +49 (0)228 92379-0.

Hi Dartanbeck
sorry for the late reply ..
You should go and download a couple of Demo versions of some easy to use sequencing software,.
My advice would be to check out Magix, www.magix.com and download a couple of the demo versions,. they make really accessible sequencing software, which comes with a bunch of sounds to get you going,. ..much like carrara and content.
As Pjotter mentioned,. you can use pre-made loop's of audio,. or you can "play" using a midi controller and set up a VST instrument to create the sound from the midi values,
You can also "draw" music into a track, using the Midi editor page, and your mouse,. or, if you play an instrument like a guitar, you can record directly into a track,. then edit or reposition that recorded audio in the time-line if needed.
I have a little M-Audio "Oxygen8" keyboard/ midi controller,. it's a simple 25 key keyboard with pitch and modulation wheels, and 8 control knobs .
In ANY music making software, I can set up the controller,. and assign any of the knobs to control any value in any track component,.
I also play guitar, so I can record that, then add VST effects like Guitar-Rig, to change the sound completely or just to add subtle tone and colour by adjusting the types of Mic, and Amps being "virtually" used to simulate the sound of an electric guitar on stage or in an arena, or studio. and I can add effects like Wah-wah, Fuzz, tremolo, and distortion.
or,. using the Midi keyboard,. I can assign the midi track I'm recording to,. to use a VST instrument, such as a grand piano, (real sampled sounds) instead of one of the standard GM sounds.
Most DAW's work in exactly the same way,. allowing you to create Midi, or Audio tracks, and either Play / draw, or record directly into those tracks,. you can also purchase pre-made loops or riff's and drag 'n' drop those into an audio track as "Blocks" which can be copied and pasted,. or moved around in time…
Either way,... some sequencing software is what you need to put it all together,.
your PC,. plus an input device, (Midi controller, Microphone, or a musical instrument) and some software where you can assemble / compose.
Hope it helps

Here's some of the basic info videos I try to put out while working on the next TDDC Episode.
Here's some of the basic info videos I try to put out while working on the next TDDC Episode.
Yes, it's true, it's already TDDC #17! The next one will definitely take longer, since this was the second half of an overlong episode that I split. But I'm working on getting out content at a decent speed!
After months of arguing with youtube and proving that everything in this video is something I created (like almost all the images), or something I have a right to use (like Uncle Sam and a little NASA footage which are public domain, or the license-free loops I used to create the music)... I eventually gave up, deleted the video from their server, and changed the music a bit then reuploaded. This time? No problem. Then I uploaded an instrumental version (removing about 20 seconds of speech) as well, but using the original music. No problem. So I took down that alternate music version and put up a new version which was a couple image-tweaks away from being the EXACT SAME as the original? No problem. Because 95% of the copyright people at youtube are perfectly reasonable human beings, but sometimes you get the wrong person and they harass and deny you for no good reason. Hooray! Anyhow, check out this promotional video (with music, even!)!
Voila TDDC #16! It was going to be an even longer superlong episode, but there was a good break-point, and I took it so I could get it out a few days earlier.
Here's the long-awaited TDDC #15! The longest episode to date, but according to 3 people on twitter, that's totally fine! #DEMOCRACY
Uh, I probably should backdate this or something, but screw it. Here's TDDC Extras #07! It's a teeny-weeny one.
Here's TDDC #14! I know you fans of the comic feel neglected... and you prettymuch are, I've been stuck for a while and also working on a lot of other stuff - it just hasn't been happening for me - yet I refuse to give up on it entirely, because there's more I want to do with it...
So I realized around Nov 9 that "Holy shit, it's NaNoWriMo!" National Novel Writing Month. I'm way late for starting there, but it seemed like a good excuse to try and force myself to get something written. I have so many stupid story ideas, I need to do something with them. So, many days late, I'm up to about 4200 words (1 chapter done) on a novel version of Gunfighter/Alchemist. Of course, the first couple chapters should be the easy part - the hard part is connecting the start with the places the story has to go. The reason I need so much impetus is that I get bogged down in wanting every part to be perfect as I write it. I NEED to learn to just crank out a draft that moves things along without being polished, because revising/polishing existing work is much easier for me than converting a story "in my head" into specific words in the first place. The other problem I've found is that I love writing dialogue - it's quick and easy, and even the first draft results usually seem very good - but I always want to portray complex action scenes, which I visualize so easily, but which are hard to portray in words. That's why I always wish I had an artist to make comic book or animated versions of the stories I do (you know, actual art, not like TDDC). But anyway, I'm trying to write some junk while still making loads of videos...
This is barely a Vlog (even less than the last one), since I've been doing little other than make videos and Maslow's Pyramid stuff. Honestly, I should call it something other than a Vlog, except I already have like 20 differently named video types - way too many for my small channel. In summary, this "vlog" contains:
1 comment | post a comment
I just put up Here's TDDC #13, and the response is so far pretty good. Which surprises me; I'm still waiting for a lot of negative comments about my GMing abilities - in fact, I was expecting to be criticized for two distinct and opposite reasons. But maybe I explained my position well enough in the video... either way, it's pretty funny =)
Videos come out a lot faster on a Let's Play channel, so although I'm still working on the next TDDC, I already have several full Hearthstone Arena runs including the just-posted Halloween run (where I half-assed dress and half-assed imitate Agent Smith).
Well, after fighting with youtube processing malfunctions for an entire day, I finally uploaded a new Vlog. On the downside, I'm pretty sure there's not one thing in this one that dad would remotely care about =P
Hey, so... I noticed that actual comics were falling off the [recent] "Updates" list on www.anothergamingcomic.com! Can't have that, so (finally) here's AGC #631.6 comments | post a comment
Here's TDDC #12, that's a 3-and-a-half week turnaround. Which I'm not happy with at all, so we'll see how the next one goes. I think next one will require fewer new art images (I went a pain-in-the-ass direction on this one, art-wise), but then, I always think that, and I'm nearly always wrong because I am too ambitious with the art. But anyway, at least this one's done.
...and a video. But not the one you want, I'm still working on the next episode. So instead I geek out over Star Trek.
What the subject said.
You know how that last post was all videos that have been out for days or weeks but I just forgot to post in my blog here? HERE'S A BRAND NEW VIDEO UP TODAY! TDDC Episode #11
So in addition to AGC #630 [Tada]...
I call this video a "Mini" version of my Legends videos, not for length (it's actually longer than the Smith video) but because I'm using a MUCH lighter art style that didn't take me MANY WEEKS to animate. Enjoy Legends: The Death Equation

Scott Roth Rumors
It's a farce that prompted Marca, Spain's biggest daily national sports newspaper, to refer to Roth as Sevilla's Entrenador Fantasma. The Phantom Coach. Suffice it to say none of this was in the brochure when the job was offered. Despite Roth's attempts to round up letters of support in recent weeks from the likes of the NBA, USA Basketball and both the Dominican Republic and Turkish national federations with whom he has worked, Sevilla has yet to convince the ACB that its new coach is already more than worthy of the license. Worse yet, Roth can't do anything to obtain a license in-season, since one of the three required courses is not until June.
He certainly never imagined that his new employers, thanks to the ACB's petty rules, aren't even allowed to list him as a head coach in league play. According to ACB regulations, specifically those ordained by the Spanish coaches association, head coaches must possess a league-sanctioned license as well as FIBA clearance to coach league games. Roth didn't have the license when Sevilla hired him but was assured by his new club that, after a decade as an NBA assistant as well as head-coaching experience in both the D-League and internationally with the Dominican Republic, Sevilla would either have the grounds to obtain the license for him or be able to pay some sort of fine to clear him.
In August, former NBA player Scott Roth agreed to take a detour from the volatile world of assistant coaching in the NBA to serve as the head coach of Baloncesto Sevilla in the Spanish ACB. It sounded like a truly special opportunity, since only a select few Yanks had previously coached in Spain's top league, most notably ESPN's own George Karl. So Roth, who had multiple playing stints in Spain in the early 1990s after his brief NBA career with Utah, San Antonio and Minnesota, decided he couldn't refuse the opportunity to take charge of his own team at such a high level. Especially because serving as Sevilla's coach would also mean overseeing the development of Latvian 7-footer Kristaps Porzingis, who is widely projected to be a lottery pick in the 2015 NBA Draft with a skill set scouts say takes the best from both Ersan Ilyasova and Andrea Bargnani. On my ESPN.com colleague Chad Ford's latest Big Board, Porzingis is the No. 4-rated prospect.
Cajasol Sevilla named Scott Roth head coach for the upcoming season. The American has been player in Spain with Vitoria and Lliria. Roth, 51, has been assistant coach in the NBA with Mavericks, Grizzlies, Warriors, Raptors and Pistons.
The timing of the Mavs' lone visit of the season to Detroit was fortuitous for two old friends. Former Mavs assistant coach Scott Roth, who forged a close bond with Nowitzki during Dirk's early seasons as a member of Don Nelson's first coaching staff with the Mavs, was just hired by Detroit this week to hop onto the bench beside Pistons interim coach John Loyer … and serve as Nowitzki's welcoming committee at The Palace.
Not that Dwane or Masai would ever confirm this at the moment, on or off the record, the word around the Finals has been that Johnny Davis, Scott Roth and Tom Sterner will not be back next fall.
Eric Smith: Rumoured earlier in the week … official now … #Raptors asst. coach Scott Roth has joined the CDN Sr Men's Team as an asst to Leo Rautins
Scott Roth, who also was a candidate for a spot on the Lakers' bench, is expected to stay in Toronto and join Dwane Casey's Raptors. Toronto, officially made Casey its new coach on Tuesday. Chuck Person also has been offered a chance to remain with the Lakers, a source said.
Scott Schroeder: Scott Roth will stay on as assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors. Had been mentioned as a part of Mike Brown's staff with the Lakers.
Scott Roth, who also was a candidate for a spot on the Lakers' bench, is expected to stay in Toronto and join Dwane Casey's staff should the Raptors hire him as their new head coach. The Raptors, a league source said, have settled on Casey as their first choice to be their next coach but there remain several issues to be resolved.
Toronto Raptors assistant coach Scott Roth, Philadelphia 76ers player development coach Quin Snyder and former University of Utah head coach Jim Boylen are the three finalists for a position on the staff of new Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown, according to sources close to the situation. Roth and Snyder have already interviewed for the position, sources said, with Boylen scheduled to meet Monday with Brown.
The fate of Triano's staff remains clouded. Only PJ Carlesimo has a contract past July 1, the deals of Alex English, Scott Roth, Micah Nori and Erik Hughes all expire this month.
The Toronto Raptors announced Monday the addition of Scott Roth as an assistant coach. Roth brings 25 years of experience as a player, scout and coach in the professional and international ranks to head coach Jay Triano's staff.
The Warriors are going to need to hire some assistant coaches.

Roth has been an NBA assistant coach for seven-plus seasons, and also has served in a variety of other scouting and advisory roles.
