Wine - GLXBadDrawable Errors
Hi all,
First off thanks to Nvidia for putting out FreeBSD drivers and to nV News for a place to talk about them, its great to have support for these great cards on our FreeBSD systems.
I have opened a bug report on the Wine Bugzilla about a problem with running Steam/Source Based engines on FreeBSD and I am just looking to see if anyone else is having the same problem.
The report can be found here -> http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10432
Basically Steam will load fine and once you try to launch a game it will cause an X Error (GLXBadDrawable) and wine will exit. From what I can tell this problem existed before in the Linux Nvidia drivers and was fixed a few months ago. I have tried other accelerated apps and they seem to run fine, I even ran a D3D app (Soldat) in Wine and that runs fine, so I am guessing its something to do with the way that Steam creates the new window/context for the game its launching.
Not sure if this is an Nvidia Driver issue or a Wine issue as I have seen forum posts and mailing list posts talking about either being at fault.
I am running FreeBSD 6.2 with the 100.14.19 Nvidia drivers and the latest version of Wine 0.9.49. I've tried using the beta Nvidia Drivers but the nvidia.ko failed to load (symbol _sleep undefined) after compilation so I switched back.
Any ideas/comments?
Re: Wine - GLXBadDrawable Errors
I can confirm that I was experiencing this issue with RELENG_6_3 and driver 169.04.
Have recently upgraded to RELENG_7_0 but am yet to test this out.
EDIT - fwiw, I recall seeing some discussion regarding this possibly being a regression in Wine. If I can locate it, I'll link to it here.

Stay tuned for a 3:30 p.m. announcement by President Obama about what is widely assumed to be about Eric Holder's resignation as Attorney General.
WATCH: President Obama announces personnel change
LGBT news briefs
Idaho activists sentenced
A total of 23 LGBT activists arrested in February for protesting at the Idaho Statehouse were sentenced today on charges that included misdemeanor trespassing, and ordered to pay court costs based on the number of times they were arrested during ongoing protests calling for Idaho legislators to add protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity to the state's Human Rights Act.
Idaho State Police made more than 190 arrests by the time the legislative session ended in March. Among those sentenced today were two women who both lost children to suicide because of anti-LGBT discrimination.

Maryland offers trans employees improved health benefits
FreeState Legal Project announced today that the state of Maryland has removed language from its employee health benefits policy denied coverage to transgender state employees for transition-related health care. The state made the change as part of settlement of a legal claim filed by FreeState Legal on behalf of Sailor Holobaugh.

Obama endangers religious freedom in America (not really)
Fox News commentator Todd Starnes barely let the ink dry on President Obama's executive order banning discrimination against LGBT people by those contracting with the federal government before he posted this "sky is falling" rant warning that the president is endangering religious freedom.
Starnes offers this quote from Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy dtudies at the Family Research Council: "This level of coercion is nothing less than viewpoint blackmail that bullies into silence every contractor and subcontractor who has moral objections to homosexual behavior."
Lesbian tossed from water park for wearing men's swimwear
And also from Pink News:
Jill Sweeney of Indiana believes she was kicked out of WildWater Adventure in Muskegon, Michigan on July 9 after spending only three hours at the park for her bachelorette party because she was wearing men's swimming trunks, a tank top, and a sports bra, and because she is a lesbian.
WildWater Adventure General Manager Camille Mark said guests at the water park are required to wear swimsuits, no street clothes allowed, and that Sweeney's sports bra was considered street clothes. She also said Sweeney's sexual orientation had nothing to do with the situation.

LGBT leaders disappointed over what Obama did not say in speech
In his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Obama spoke of a nation working on issues such as marriage equality and earning the respect of other nations "because we believe in the inherent dignity and equality of every human being, regardless of race or religion, creed or sexual orientation."
But while LGBT leaders expressed appreciation for those references, most voiced considerable disappointment over what he did not say.
Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, said the president was "right to urge Congress to fix our broken immigration system this year, create more jobs, equal pay for women and the restoration of the Voting Rights Act." And she praised his announcement to sign an executive order to increase the minimum wage federal contractors must offer their employees. But, she added, "The irony is that some LGBT federal contract workers will get a pay raise, but they could still be fired for who they are and who they love."
"The longer the president waits, the more damage LGBT people will face," Carey said. "Discrimination is a painful reality that is too often the lived experience of LGBT people. The Ppresident has to act when Congress won't."
Tico Almeida, founder and leader of the Freedom to Work group, also expressed frustration.
"President Obama should have challenged the House Republicans to allow a vote" on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), Almeida said. "It's disappointing that he has still not included LGBT workplace protections among the issues he will handle through executive order as part of his 'year of action.' Both ENDA and the LGBT executive order would have fit perfectly into the themes of this address."
Lorri Jean, executive director of the nation's largest LGBT community center and health facility, the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, praised Obama for saying "many important things about equality, or the lack thereof." But she, too, noted he said "nothing about the fact that no federal law protects LGBT people from employment discrimination, let alone equally harmful forms of discrimination."
The White House did issue to reporters a long supplemental statement in conjunction with the State of the Union address, and that statement did note that, "Today, federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, sex, religion, and disability."
"It's time to add sexual orientation and gender identity to that list, so that no American worker can lose his or her job simply because of who they are or who they love," said the statement. "The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would provide strong federal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers. Last year, a bipartisan majority of the Senate passed ENDA, and the President renews his call for the House to do the same."
But Jean said, "I'd be happier with [the supplemental statement] if it came last week or even next week" rather than in conjunction with the State of the Union address.
"It's almost as if he didn't dare to say it when the whole country was watching, but they put it out to quell any criticism from our community," said Jean. "It just seems odd."
Asked to respond, the White House said, "The State of the Union isn't a comprehensive list of all of the President's positions or priorities. The President has long supported ENDA, and its inclusion in our fact sheet reflects the president's belief that Congress needs to act. It's time to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of categories protected by federal law against employment discrimination. No American worker should lose his or her job simply because of who they are or who they love. Last year, a bipartisan majority of the Senate passed ENDA, and the president renews his call for the House to do the same."
Gregory T. Angelo, executive director of Log Cabin Republicans, was unimpressed with the president's speech, calling it "more of the same." He, too, dinged the president's speech for what it lacked.
"While the president's calls for a more equal nation are welcome, there is a profound irony in the absence of any mention of [ENDA]," Angelo said.
LGBT activists have been, since the beginning of Obama's first term, pressuring the White House to issue an executive order barring sexual orientation discrimination by federal contractors. Others have urged him to speak out more forcefully for ENDA.
Coincidentally, the Movement Advancement Project, in releasing its biennial assessment of the LGBT civil rights movement Tuesday, noted that the "top 50 federal government contractors (81 percent) include sexual orientation in their nondiscrimination policies."
Even the Human Rights Campaign, one of the LGBT community's strongest supporters of Obama, could not hide its disappointment.
"The President's message tonight failed to address the needs of LGBT workers looking for a fair shake in this economy," said HRC President Chad Griffin in a statement issued after the address. "Not only was there no call for the House to pass a federal law to protect LGBT workers nationwide, President Obama also sidestepped his commitment to take action where Congress has left off, leaving out an order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors. Unfortunately, President Obama missed a real opportunity to use the State of the Union to improve the lives of LGBT people by taking immediate executive action to address anti-LGBT discrimination for the millions of Americans employed by federal contractors."
As in past years, Obama included an openly gay person among the special guests joining the first lady in the House gallery during the State of the Union address. Tuesday night it was Jason Collins, the National Basketball Association player who, last year, became the first male player in a major American team sport to come out as gay.

Jarrett, Holder vow to fight anti-gay bullying, hate crimes at White House conference in Arlington
ARLINGTON — Hundreds of Texas educators, politicians and LGBT activists attended the White House LGBT Conference on Safe Schools and Communities to hear about the Obama administration's efforts to fight bullying and prevent hate crimes and to discuss local progress.
The conference at the University of Texas at Arlington on Tuesday was the third in a series of eight LGBT conferences hosted by the White House and the U.S. Department of Justice.
The first conference Feb. 16 in Philadelphia focused on LGBT health, and the second in Detroit on March 9 focused on LGBT housing and homelessness. The next five conferences are expected up until the end of June.
Two hour-long morning panels opened the conference, bringing together local, state and national leaders to discuss efforts to ensure safe schools and communities.
White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett was then introduced by Fort Worth Councilman Joel Burns, who told the story of how his "It Gets Better" speech in 2010 about being bullied and beaten up when he was 13 attending Crowley High School gained national attention.
"It changed my life in ways I could've never imagined, and it changed my life for the better," Burns said of the video.
Burns added that Tuesday was also his 19th wedding anniversary with his husband, J.D. Angle, and he's proud to "have a president and an administration that celebrates with us, one that gets us and one that actually honors our relationship."
Jarrett called Burns "a leader in the fight against bullying," and said efforts in Fort Worth and Dallas schools helped bring the conference to the area. She assured local leaders that the administration would help them.
"I know that you still face tremendous challenges as you implement your new policies and create an environment where those policies are fully embraced by the community, but you've already made great progress, and I know that working together, there are even better days ahead," Jarrett said.
Recognizing the handful of students who attended, Jarrett asked them to stand, honoring them for their "courage and willingness to stand up for what's right."
Jarrett then shared personal stories of meeting others who had championed for change, such as Judy Shepard, who was set to speak at the close of the conference this afternoon, and Tammy Asberg. Shepard is the mother of Matthew Shepard, the gay college student killed in an anti-gay hate crime in 1998.
Jarrett said she met Aaberg last year and heard her story of how she found her 15-year-old son Justin after he'd killed himself from the torment he'd received in Minnesota's Anoka-Hennepin student district for being gay. Aaberg now advocates for anti-bullying efforts.
"It's people like Joel, people like Judy, people like Tammy who inspire President Obama, who motivate him, and who make him determined that his administration will do everything possible to fight for safe schools and safe communities for our children," she said.
Saying that change rarely happens in Washington, Jarrett told the audience how Tempest Cartwright "changes the world around her" every day, bit by bit, and she called for the 18-year-old Oklahoma student to stand up. Jarrett explained how Cartwright refused to allow bullying in her high school to overcome her, pressing forward after losing friends and facing bullies to quadruple the size of the Gay Straight Alliance.
Jarrett said the administration has issued guidance to schools, colleges and universities to clarify that civil rights laws apply to bullying, and has helped states craft anti-bullying bills.
"Schools have not just a moral responsibility, but a legal responsibility to protect our young people from harassment," she said, adding that the Obama administration supports the Student Non-Discrimination Act, federal legislation that would prohibit anti-LGBT harassment in public schools.
Jarrett then explained the resources and partnerships that have grown out of the fight against bullying.
Facebook launched a $200,000 digital citizenship research grant that rewards people who use technology to prevent bullying. MTV's "Over the Line?" app allows students to share their bullying stories and combat those who instigate hateful environments in school.
And even Lady Gaga, who Jarrett met recently, launched the Born This Way Foundation.
"Every day we're striving to do our part to make progress and I believe that day by day, step by step, we will change not just our laws and our policies, but our behavior, our attitudes, our tone, so that every young person is able to strive at school without worrying about people bullied," she said.
Speaking after Jarrett, U.S. Attorney Eric Holder explained that the conference series is designed "to help shine the light on some of the unique challenges lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals face."
Holder said the administration has "created a record we can all be proud of" in terms of protecting LGBT rights and "a sense of momentum that today we stand poised to build upon."
"This morning I'm proud to join you in affirming a very simple truth and renewing this administration's commitment, as well as my own, to an essential idea that no one, no one, deserves to be bullied, harassed or victimized because of who they are, how they worship or, and hear it when I say it now, or who they love," Holder said.
Equal opportunity and equal justice under the law "are anything but novel concepts," Holder said. "They are written into our founding doctrines."
Since its creation in 1957, Holder said the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice has been examining the motivation behind violent acts. The Department of Justice set a record last fiscal year with the number of hate crimes cases filed and the number of defendants charged, Holder said.
Since the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was signed by President Barack Obama in 2009, seven cases have been indicted, 24 defendants have been charged and 18 have been convicted, Holder said.
Explaining that officials are constantly investigating hate crimes including those that target actual or perceived sexual orientation, Holder mentioned the hate crime in Northeast Dallas March 13 where two men in their 20s were beaten with baseball bats by five men because they were gay.
"When incidents like this occur, we want to hear about it," he said. "We will do everything in our power to ensure that justice is served."
Sharing the tragic story of gay 13-teen-year-old Seth Walsh in California who hung himself in the fall of 2010 after years of physical, verbal and sexual harassment at school, Holder said that tools must be in place to prevent such incidents from happening.
Holder said the "It Gets Better" campaign is more than a slogan, but something the administration is backing up with "robust action," like the five-year settlement with the Anoka-Hennepin school district reached March 5.
Holder called the settlement, which brought resolve for six students for the harassment they had endured for years, "a blueprint for sustainable reform."
The administration is continuing to focus attention on LGBT youth with studies, outreach campaigns and support for the Student Nondiscrimination Act and the Violence Against Women Act, Holder said, ensuring that equal justice under the law "is a guarantee for all time and for all Americans."
On Tuesday afternoon, the conference continued with workshops presenting solutions to the problem of bullying in schools.
Bob Kim from the U.S. Department of Education said that Title IX, usually used to require equal funding for women's sports on campuses, also covers gender nonconformity issues.
He also explained the Equal Access Act, passed under the Reagan administration with the support of religious groups that wanted access to school facilities, is what gives GSAs the right to meet on campus.
A variety of suggestions came from attendees. A college coach said that anti-bullying training for coaches who spend several years with the same group of students should be implemented by school districts serious about ending bullying.
Several teachers talked about having to argue with their school administrations to be allowed to come to the conference. Their principals didn't see the connection between a White House conference on bullying in schools and teaching.
Cartwright, a GLSEN student leader from Broken Arrow, Okla., introduced Shepard at the closing plenary. Cartwright described herself as "ostracized by people I thought were friends." But she said she is getting through school with the support of her parents.
"If my mom isn't the best mom in the world, then the next person on stage is," she said.
Shepard closed the White House conference by telling attendees, "You are who you are. You love who you love. That's just the way it is."
She described herself as the token Democrat living in Wyoming. She said that when she hears anti-gay talk, she comes out to that person.
"Call them to task," she said. "We have to come out over and over and over again."
She said the only difference between the LGBT and straight community is who they love.
Then she asked, "How does that matter to anyone else?"
Staff Writer David Taffet contributed to this report.
President Obama issues memorandum on protecting LGBTs abroad
Four days in advance of Human Rights Day on Saturday, Dec. 10, President Barack Obama today issued a presidential memorandum "to ensure that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons," according to a statement just released by the White House press office.
The statement sent out by the White House includes these comments by the president:
"The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States commitment to promoting human rights. I am deeply concerned by the violence and discrimination targeting LGBT persons around the world — whether it is passing laws that criminalize LGBT status, beating citizens simply for joining peaceful LGBT pride celebrations, or killing men, women, and children for their perceived sexual orientation. That is why I declared before heads of state gathered at the United Nations, "no country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere." Under my Administration, agencies engaged abroad have already begun taking action to promote the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons everywhere. Our deep commitment to advancing the human rights of all people is strengthened when we as the United States bring our tools to bear to vigorously advance this goal."
The memorandum from Obama directs agencies to combat the criminalization of LGBT status or conduct abroad; protect vulnerable LGBT refugees and asylum seekers; leverage foreign assistance to protect human rights and advance nondiscrimination; ensure swift and meaningful U.S. responses to human rights abuses of LGBT persons abroad; engage international organizations in the fight against LGBT discrimination, and report on progress.
I give the president credit for issuing the memorandum at the same time he's gearing up for what will likely be a tough re-election campaign during which opponents will no doubt use his stance and actions on LGBT issues against him. But I still have to point out that we as LGBT people still face discrimination and inequality right here in the good old U.S.-of-A:
• Our marriages are legally recognized at the federal level and they aren't recognized in the VAST majority of state and local jurisdictions. We want the Defense of Marriage Act repealed and local and state ordinances and constitutional amendments prohibiting recognition of our relationships need to be overturned.
• There is still no federal protection against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and/gender expression and gender identity. Congress needs to pass — the president needs to sign — the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
• Even though there is now a federal hate crimes law that includes LGBT people, as well as similar laws at many state and local levels, those laws are not well enforced.
• Anti-LGBT bullying remains a deadly problem in our schools and our workplaces and on the Internet. We've made progress in combating such bullying, but not nearly enough. Dedicate the resources necessary to address the issue effectively.
So let's applaud our president for the steps he has — and is — taking. There's no doubt Obama has been more open than any other president about addressing LGBT issues and we have seen great strides forward toward equality during his administration. But there's a long way to go yet, and we need to make sure that the president — and all our elected officials — know they can't just rest on their laurels.
Lesbian among 13 recipients of Citizens Medal
Officials with the Obama administration announced today that Janice Langbehn, the Lacey, Wash., lesbian who was denied access to her dying wife by hospital officials in Miami, is one of 13 people who will receive the 2011 Presidential Citizens Medal during a ceremony Oct. 20 at the White House.
The Citizens Medal is the nation's second-highest civilian honor, established in 1969 "to recognize American citizens who have performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens," according to a White House press release.
Langbehn, her partner Lisa Pond and three of their four adopted children were on vacation in Feburary 2007, in Miami and waiting to get on a cruise ship when Pond suddenly became ill and had to be rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center. Hospital staff refused to allow Langbehn and the children in to see Pond, even after Langbehn had a copy of the legal documents giving her power of attorney faxed to the hospital within an hour of Pond being admitted. Pond, who had suffered a brain aneurysm, died 18 hours later without her wife and children having a chance to be by her side.
The story made headlines around the country and in June 2008, after the hospital refused repeatedly to apologize to Langbehn and her children, Langbehn, with the assistance of Lambda Legal, filed a lawsuit against the hospital, and she continued her crusade to bring attention to the injustices, highlighted by her story, that many same-sex couples face and continued to advocate for LGBT marriage and civil rights.
Throughout 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Committee for Fair Visitation at Jackson Memorial Hospital negotiated changes with the hospital regarding same-sex visitation, and although the lawsuit was eventually dismissed, in April 2010, Jackson Memorial Hospital and the committee announced major changes to visitation policies regarding LGBT patients. At the same time, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organizations published new guidelines addressing inclusion of LGBT patients and families in hospital visitation.
Two days after the changes were announced, President Obama called Langbehn from Air Force One to apologize for the way her family had been treated and informing her of the memorandum he had issued earlier that day instructing Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, to create a rule allowing hospital visitations for same-sex couples comparable to those of married and opposite sex couples.
President Obama: 'Change never comes [from] — or at least never begins — in Washington'
President Obama on Tuesday spoke to a group of LGBT activists who were invited to a reception at the White House in honor of National Gay Pride Month.
Above is a video, released by the White House, of the president's remarks during that reception. And here are a few of the highlights from his speech:
"Now, look, the fact that we've got activists here is important because it's a reminder that change never comes — or at least never begins in – Washington. It begins with acts of compassion — and sometimes defiance — across America. It begins when ordinary people — out of love for a mother or a father, son or daughter, or husband or wife — speak out against injustices that have been accepted for too long. And it begins when these impositions of conscience start opening hearts that had been closed, and when we finally see each other's humanity, whatever our differences. Now, this struggle is as old as America itself. It's never been easy. But standing here, I am hopeful. …
"Because I believe in committed — I believe that committed gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and responsibilities afforded to any married couple in this country, I have called for Congress to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. We are pushing hard to pass an inclusive employee non-discrimination bill. No one in America should be fired because they're gay. It's not right, it's not who we are as Americans, and we are going to put a stop to it.
"And finally, we're going to end 'don't ask don't tell.' That is a promise I made as a candidate. It is a promise that I reiterated as president. It's one that this administration is going to keep. Now, the only way to lock this in — the only way to get the votes in Congress to roll back this policy — is if we work with the Pentagon, who are in the midst of two wars."
Obama issues LGBT Pride Month proclamation
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release May 28, 2010
- – - – - – -
As Americans, it is our birthright that all people are created equal and deserve the same rights, privileges, and opportunities. Since our earliest days of independence, our Nation has striven to fulfill that promise. An important chapter in our great, unfinished story is the movement for fairness and equality on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. This month, as we recognize the immeasurable contributions of LGBT Americans, we renew our commitment to the struggle for equal rights for LGBT Americans and to ending prejudice and injustice wherever it exists.
RCD's Mike McKay on the State of the Union: 'It's time to move beyond speeches'
The following statement was just sent over by Rafael McDonnell at Resource Center Dallas on behalf of Executive Director Mike McKay:
"President Obama's pledge to work with the legislative branch to end the misguided 'don't ask, don't tell' policy is worthy of praise. It's important to note, though, that GLBT Americans have heard these words before. As a candidate, President Obama said them on the stump; and just last fall, he said them at the HRC dinner in Washington. Talking is for campaigns; action is for leaders.
"The time is long overdue to move beyond speeches and put the 'fierce advocacy' we were promised before the 2008 elections into action. A line has been drawn in the sand: the GLBT community must hold both the President and Congress accountable for getting rid of this archaic, discriminatory policy. Audacious action and leadership are needed. We will help with the roadmap to get us to that goal.
"Regrettably, the President chose not to speak on two other issues of importance to our community: the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the Defense of Marriage Act. Every day, GLBT Americans here in North Texas and across the country lose their jobs for simply being who they are. Every day, GLBT Americans are denied hundreds of federal benefits bestowed on married couples. The United States of America, where we pledge allegiance to a flag that promises 'liberty and justice for all,' needs action and leadership on these issues – sooner rather than later."
Watch Obama sign the hate crimes bill
I know very few of us would be able to jaunt up to D.C. today to see President Obama sign into law the defense spending bill and the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Act included with that bill. And even if we managed to make it to Washington, it isn't likely that they'd let us in the White House for the signing or the reception planned for later in the day.
But we can watch as history is made. The White House Web site's live video streaming schedule for today includes the signing ceremony. Go here to see it.
And as David Taffet noted in an earlier post, the signing takes place at 1:30 CST, followed by a reception at 5 p.m. CST .

Some more comparables between a young Mike Richards and Lukas Sutter are they are/were both looked at as not the greatest skaters and both were a pretty open book in terms of how good they could be offensively. I remember the days when many figured Mike Richards would be a great 3rd line center but it was unclear if he would be offensively good enough to be a legitimate offensive top 6 forward.
Mike Richards is a very hefty comparison, but it will be exciting to see how Lukas Sutter develops in the next couple to few years.
Another kid that really excited me and who took a huge step forward offensively this past season before getting injured is Adam Lowry. Huge frame standing somewhere around 6'5".
I really like what we have here in Lukas Sutter and Adam Lowry. If these kids hit their potential ceilings, look out. In 2 drafts we've really added some nice looking prospects in Scheifele, Trouba, Sutter and Lowry.
Just looking at Lukas vs Brandon Sutter it seems we got the thicker meaner kid. In Juniors Brandon peaked at 54 penalty minutes whereas Lukas has had 179 PIM and 165 PIM in his first two seasons. Interesting in their draft years they did have comparable scoring stats. Brandon's path to the NHL was one more year of juniors, then 22 games in the AHL and 50 with Carolina in his sophomore year after his draft.
Good point on Lowry I loved him as a third round pick last year and he was having a good year in Swift current until he lost the season due to injury. he seems to fit the high character, big body, father was a pro, captain of his team, late bloomer mold. He has some skills as well and was averaging a PPG this year until he was hurt.
Edit: it appears Mile Richards might have had more elite level scoring stays in his draft year 87 points in 67 games but we can dream big for sure.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin met the media following their 29-23 overtime loss Sunday to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Wild Card game.
Tomlin said the Broncos did the job, persevered and won. Tomlin says he was proud of the way the guys fought but that they are not into moral victories. They (Denver) made the significant plays today, particularly the chunks that allowed them to win. Tomlin says we accept the responsibility for that.
Tough catches by them and good run after catch as well. Tomlin refused to make excuses in regards to injuries. Saying you know we don\'t live in that world. The guys we put on the field were capable of doing the job said Tomlin. He says they didn\'t perform well enough from a coaching stand point or a player standpoint.
You can listen to the full audio of the post game press conference below.
There should be no way that the Denver picks before us in the draft.
Tomlin wasnt perfect today. Everybody has a hand in this loss. But Doug Legursky was the biggest culpirt today. His boneheaded miscues ended drives, led to Ben lying flat on his back, multiple delay of games and most importantly took points off the board. He is NOT a legitimate nfl lineman.
that what u get with r airdefence sucks big time
So much for Ike Taylor being a shut down corner. More like a burnt toast corner
Legursky is absolutely a legitimate NFL lineman… as a backup.
yeah arians totally dropped all those passes. and let DT run over 200 yards..good call.
The won't. Draft position for playoffs teams is determined on which round a team exits the playoffs. All of this weekends losers will pick ahead of the teams who will play in the divisional round. The four teams that lost this weekend will pick 21st through 24th in the draft, based on winning percentage. Since the Steelers had the best record of all the losers, they will have the 24th overall pick.
Steeler's defense was geared to stopped the run, and they kept the focus there all game. There were no adjustments to stop Denver's passing game, which there obviously should have been after the first completions… blame the defense for this one!
Along with lergursky Ike Taylor played like garbage two caught passes and two touch downs made on him as well as his enormous penalty that Stevie wonder could see Ike if ur listening ur swagger was nonexistent and any time Mundy can catch up and surpass u baby u need to rethink ur profession as well as Dick Lebeau!!!
take Dick with him. the #1 D was only on paper. there was not one game where we looked dominating on D! very little QB pressure all year and turn-overs. The line is old and line backing crew (except harrison) has a sub par year… only secondary shined (except for this game and the 2nd Balt game).
There is only one person to blame for this season's fiasco & that's Tomlin. He's the ROOT CAUSE of the lost 2010 season. He's the guy who decided to play a 30% healthy Ben in SF & Cleveland – a brain dead move. If a 30% Ben is better than a 100% Batch or Dixon – why did he keep Batch / Dixon? He's the guy who decided to go with too many old timers who were constantly injured. Decisions made in training camp very clearly laid the foundation for this season. Tomlin is like the Parent who is more interested in being the kids friend rather than the parent. That seldom works in parenting and it seldom works in coaching as well. That all culminated today in a team that was totally ill prepared with veterans watching from the sidelines and his known super weak corners getting beaten like a drum. I know this sounds like I'm a Tomlin hater. I'm not. iN MY OPINION, HE'S HAD AN EXCEPTIONALLY BAD YEAR= STRIKE one.
That 24th pick should give them more bargaining power to move up in the draft to nab DB or O-Linemen!
tomlin, bruce, and dick have to take most blame for this loss. they under estiamted TT and came to denver with an awful game plan. TT looked like Brady today. why not attack him with man-to-man coverage and force him to his righ? poor clock management led to Doug's high snap. they should have called a TO with 51 sc left…
also, why did our receivers drop 6 or 7 passes? that was a first for that crew. Ben was on most of the time…
I believe that the steelers have every game Legursky started at center! Essex looked like a beast a center when he got the opportunity. Hes gotta be smart enough he went to Northwestern.
Lifetime Steeler Fan Here-
Batch should have started in Cleveland and probably in SFO.
Injuries killed us, regardless of what coach wants to say about them.
We got burned far too many times in the secondary and we made way too many mistakes to win today, yet we were a play away. It hurts to end the year that way, in that situation.
Felt worse than most losses. All the bs about the new overtime rules and we give it all up on one play, the first play. Still seems like a bad dream. Oh well, next year starts tomorrow!
6 and counting…and still loving it!
I have been speechless watching the 3 games this year. 1st Ravens game, 49ers and this one. Are you kidding me Tebow played three games and didnt get 300 yards. Hmmm we have number one pass D. I still think Goodell fixes the games.
i mostly agree. the SF game yes play BB. but the last cleve game should have kept ben out. they saw the balt score just like we all did and could tell that balt was not going to lose that game….
1st 2 picks need to be o-line followed by DB then a D-lineman…
imagine the offsensive production if ben was never hurried/hit/sacked or the running yards if there were actually holes opened up once in awhile…
first of all, NFL needs to correct the home field for wildcard teams. todays game and the 2010 saints should have never been away games…
three 5000 yd and seven 4000 yd passers in 1 year! that is what goodell's "player safety" rules has done to the game. basically eliminated any good defensive teams…
Expectations sure are high for a team playing on the road without their pro-bowl center, starting safety and two defensive lineman who go down during the game. I can't help but think Ike Taylor was hurt most by Ryan Clark's absence – can't think of why else he looked so awful! That said, I think they looked ahead and bought into the hype that they would handily beat Denver – for that, Tomlin has to take some blame.
tebow magic can not be denied… 300 yards in a playoff game. He got it done. No mistakes. All home teams dominated playoffs this year.
The pattern developed early…..Putting 8 guys on the line, daring Denver to pass. Geez, after Ike was shown to be so vulnerable, it's no wonder they went right at him in OT. Apparently, Tomlin felt the Broncos were slow learners, blind, or both.
Im a Raider fan and very pissed that F'n Denver won. Plus I live in Denver and these fans are talking stupid as hell. No DT-Hampton, NO DE-Keisel, No Ryan Clark, No Mendenhall, Injured Ben, No Poncy…. Yall just had way too many injuries. These fans are talkin like they beat a healthy Steelers team. Dam I hate these Bronco fans, Smh…
usually a good assumption
I'm so fed up with this company line BS that Tomlin gives out at the end of every game. Coach, you just got beat pretty soundly by a team that was a heavy underdog, and all that you've got is that you're proud of the way the guys fought out there?!?! What a bunch of dung! I'm pretty sure that the Rooneys aren't overly proud of the "way the guys fought out there." I can think of several players that fought like they had their arms chopped off today – namely your entire defensive backfield. This is the best that you've got for the largest and most devoted fanbase in the world? Not even an, "I'm sorry that we let our fans down." You ought to try it…a little humility goes a LONG way once in a while.
One more thing…If this doesn't spur the management to make some real changes this year (read that however you want), I don't know what will. The majority of that performance tonight was terrible and embarrassing.
Taylor was not hurt by Clark's absence because both safeties were up at the line of scrimmage. Clark would have been at the line of scrimmage and would have not been in any position to make a play anyway. Its the same defense that Tebow shredded in the second quarter. It was pretty simple, the steelers brought both safeties up to the line of scrimmage and Denver threw the ball deep and burned Taylor and William gay. Why Pittsburgh didn't play their two deep zone and run blitz from that formation is beyond me……the secondary was just as bad as the o-line………one word for this game….. pathetic
I'm tired of TOMLIN's drivel. Same words, different day. …"we accept the responsibility for that"….. just what does that mean? Empty words. Shows his stubbornness and arrogance. Are we to think of him as a philosopher?
I like Tomlin a lot, but IMO, he should have never played Ben in SF or Cleveland. If the 'standard is the standard' why doesn't that apply to the QB position? If you don't have confidence in Batch or Dixon, cut them and carry extra linemen. Is an 75-80% effective Ben better than a 100% Batch? Nothing says that Ben couldn't be put in later if Batch was hurt or ineffective. I guess we'll 'accept the responsibility' for that as well.
Does Ben decide if Ben plays? With the title comes the responsibility for the decisions. It's time we had an OC that call devise an offensive scheme that fully utilizes our plethora of offensive weapons. Someone with some imagination and creativity. Someone that create some rhythm. Someone who can make adjustments throughout the game if necessary. When the announcers call the play as you are lining up, I think you are a bit too predictable.
And obviously too many people (coaches) read this week how Tebow could never beat us with the pass. First rule of battle, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR ENEMY.
This was as much (if not more) a loss by our coaches as it was the players. Yeah, I saw the dropped passes. Today, our players were not put in a position to win.
At least we'll get an earlier draft choice.

Tomlin won't take any of the blame. Knowing Tomlin, he will have already written off "last season" as if it were a thousand years ago and that's the last we hear of it. Pfftttt…..whatever.
Newsflash…there were several chubs out there pretending to play o-line that are not legitimate nfl lineman. That's been the story of this whole season. When you've got Scott playing left tackle, there's a major liability – case in point.
As a Steeler fan, I know how the Spanish Armada sailors felt. Gee, we were supposed to be invincible.
Coach Tomlin based his game plan on the Kansas City tapes. He played right into Fox's hands.
Tim Tebow had an average pass length of thirty yards with a receiving corps rated below average. I'm going back to church!
You would think after Denver got a fifteen point lead and was marching up and down the field, the Steelers would play the pass some. Was the guy who does dandruff shampoo commercials even there? I know he left before OT.
Your team got out coached and out played. Tebow also had passes dropped. Tebow has something many do not have heart, honest, and gives credit to his players when they win, and takes all the blame when he loses. Plus he is a gamer, more so then most players in this league. They have ZERO players on their offense as WR,TE or QB that would be a number one on any other team. Have a so so defense that let you back in the game.So make all the excuses you want. Tebow played better then BIg Ben
Quit your crying! It's not pretty!
Willam Gay needs to be cut CUT CUT CUT. This freakin guy gets burned every single week. If i was a QB and had to throw the ball, the first read and only read would be "who is 22 trying to cover. ppphhuucccck he sucks
At the days end, it comes down to Tomlim's mis-management of the last 1:35 of the 4th quarter. Not only a missed T/O but play calling on the last offensive play. Pathetic. And worst, he's made similar mistakes repeatedly this year. He needs to talk less, and study more.
Best laid out words that I have ever read on this forum from a Raider fan. You sir are now in my opinion, "The King of Raider Fans". Much respect….You summed it up better than half of my own people on here trying to put blame somewhere. Injuries, Bad adjustments and one too many big passes allowed…that's why we are not in NE next week. Life goes on…..
gobibigben really like your post's feel the same way u do, also think redman should be starter, and rashard traded while he still has value in other peoples eyes
One person to blame TOMLIN, do you forget where your money comes from?????
Disagree. I don't believe that Clark would have been that late in backing out of the final play. Mundy got turned around completely. That was his responsibility
Ike was almost completely stopped by the stiff-arm. That means that he must try to accelerate. Mundy was still running. That is the reason why Mundy could "catch up" to Ike.
Everyone giving negative comments on this thread is idiotic. Yes Ike Taylor played as bad as he could have. He is still a fantastic db it just happens he played the worst game of his career yesterday. As far as the Tomlin hate goes, it looks as if his game plan was terrible and its very easy for everyone watching to say he should have prepared differently, but I don't understand why people think he should have been prepared for Time Tebow, who has trouble throwing a spiral, to throw for 300 yards, 200 coming to an unknown receiver who had the game of his life. Match-up wise, Ike Taylor will stop whoever Thomas 9 out 10 times it just so happened that the one game he didn't was the one that was played. Ike Taylor is one of the best corner backs in the league while Mike Tomlin is arguably the best coach in the league and to even suggest that the Steelers would have had a glimmer of hope to make the playoffs this year without either of them is ridiculous and foolish. Mike Tomlin has 2 Super Bowl appearances in 4 years, something Bill Cowher who is a for-sure hall of fame coach couldn't do so anyone calling for Tomlin to be fired is a complete idiot. He will be the Steelers coach for the next 15 years and will win at least 1 more, probably more, super bowls. Any "fan" of the Steelers who thinks that Mike Tomlin and Ike Taylor are the reasons we lost doesn't know football and is either too stupid or ignorant to really understand the game and has no business "cheering" for the Steelers.
Dear Mr. Mike Tomlin: Please work on learning how to direct the team on the 4th quater, and also learn to take risks!!!! for the love of God!!!!
Also, to even suggest that Dick Lebou, the best defensive coordinator to ever call a play, should be fired is beyond stupid. You're right GoBigBen, it's Dick Lebous fault that casey hampton, Kiesel, and Ryan Clark were hurt and couldn't play. And despite being statistically the best defense all year, going 12-4, and having numerous shut-outs, because of this one fluke game where many starters were hurt the Steelers should fire all of their coaches including the best defensive coordinator ever and they should fire every line-backer and defensive lineman they have because of one bad game despite being statistically the best defense in the league. In fact GoBigBen, I think you should make a push at becoming the owner of the team with comments like that….
i agree with gobigben. the D did not dominate at all this season as shown by the lack of QB pressure and turnovers. IMHO our #1 rating and record was because of a weak schedule. this is bascially the same defensive scheme that blew all those 4th qtr leads in 2009, but I do have to hand it to cornell lake for improving the secondary this season. now if the schemes can improve we are back!
GriffingLambert…. you're an idiot. You should email the Rooney's and make a push at becoming the new coach…
Seems like you have it all figured out… maybe you should be become offensive coordinator. And you're right, despite Tomlin being the youngest coach to ever win a superbowl and to have taken us to the superbowl 2 out of his 5 years and posting a 12-4 record this year he's actually garbage and doesn't know a thing about football. If only he were as football savy as you…
yeah the steelers offense really struggled. I mean our running back who battled injuries and an injured line had season with almost 1000 yards, both are recievers with over 1000 yards were terrible and our qb with over 4000 yards had an awful year as well. You're absolultely right the offense sucked imagine the possibilities if you were calling the shots….
Steelerfan, You clearly don't get it, do you? The reason that people are upset is that a 12-4 record doesn't mean squat if you don't at least show up for a game that CLEARLY you should be able to win. Also, this team has played down to every opponent this season except for one. This is a classic case of underachieving which falls on coaching – nothing else. Sure, the Steelers have had success but this falls on a whole lot of people's shoulders in addition to Mike Tomlin. The great coaches don't just go to the Super Bowl, they win and they put a quality product on the field. That was not the case yesterday. If you want to support a team that simply goes to the playoffs and loses then perhaps you should think about becoming Bengalfan.
Look, mouthbreather…if you're that complacent with a 12-4 season in which you are embarrassed in a Wildcard game versus a very average 8-8 team, then so be it. Perhaps I expect more than you although that goes without saying after reading some of your posts on this board which clearly show an egregious lack of critical ability.
If Tomlin relied solely on the KC tape to develop his game plan, he's not as smart as he's been given credit. It's one thing to craft a strategy to shut down the run while forsaking pass coverage when you possess two shutdown corners or at least one. Pittsburgh doesn't have any. I'm sick of hearing how good Ike Taylor is. He does a good job on run support and he is no better than adequate in pass coverage. He's curentrly being paid as though he's an elite corner. Taylor showed us yesterday that he's not. Gay is a total embarassment. I don't know his contract status, but he must be demoted on the depth chart at the very least and maybe even released. What has happened to Bryant McFadden? If he's not better than Gay, it's time to look for another occupation. I think it's time for Tomlin to evaluate his own performance and that of his staff. Dick LeBeau may be one of the all time greats, but is the game starting to pass him by? Bruce Arians does nothing in his play calling to inspire confidence in the Steeler fan base. With a record of 12-4 it's not easy to find fault with the staff. However, yesterday's performance gave me reason to pause and reconsider. Denver had no business winning that game. The Steelers were outcoached and outplayed. If the purpose of an organization is to always strive for improvement, the results of this game signal the need to fix some problems that clearly exist. Let's start by drafting a quality cornerback and acquiring an offensive lineman or two that know something about pass blocking.
Shells yeah! Fire that mother!
Useless, I make better calls on the sofa or in the bath tub! Your fired for letting Ben play all 3 games!
Don't give me this team leader, needs to be out there, the guys need them. He demoralized them minute by minute while he was incapable of running or passing on his bad foot. Oh which caused interceptions.
Fire his aash.
Fire head coach now!
all i know is, i've been a die hard steelers fan for over 30 years now. all i can tell ya is, i don't know who they shipped to denver but it wasn't the steelers i know. these guys played like shit. dropped pass's interceptions, sacks. wtf guys this was denver, you know like cleveland, come on
Can't blame this loss on anyone. Bronkos got lucky. See if their luck holds up against the Patriots.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 242 yards on 25
carries and scored two touchdowns to lead Marshall to a 31-24
victory over UAB Saturday night.
Bradshaw had touchdown runs of 26 and 67 yards to help Marshall
roll up 317 yards on the ground. The Thundering Herd (2-5, 1-2
CUSA) entered the game ranked 10th in the conference in total
offense, averaging 314 yards a game. The Herd passed that mark in
the first half against UAB and finished with 473 total yards.
Chris Williams completed 18 of 30 passes for 205 yards and one
touchdown to lead UAB (3-5, 2-2).
Williams also ran for a score and Marculus Elliott was the
Blazers' leading rusher with 129 yards on 14 carries.
UAB seemed to grab momentum on the game's first possession when
Will Evans intercepted a Bernard Morris pass and returned it 47
yards to the Marshall one-yard-line.
But UAB was called for a personal foul at the end of the return,
moving the ball back to the 16. UAB came away with no points when
Curtis Keyes intercepted a Williams pass in the end zone on third
That turned the momentum in Marshall's favor and the Herd never
lost it. A 26-yard run by Bradshaw capped an 80-yard drive and gave
Marshall a 7-0 lead. The Herd stayed ahead the rest of the way.
Elliott responded with a 45-yard touchdown run for UAB, but
Parker Mullins missed the point after kick and the Blazers trailed
7-6. A 49-yard touchdown run by Chubb Small and a 31-yard scoring
pass from Bernard Morris to Matt Morris gave Marshall a 21-6 lead.
UAB pulled to within 21-14 when Williams scored on an eight-yard
run and added a two-point conversion run.
Bradshaw's 68-yard run put Marshall up 28-14 at halftime.
A 34-yard scoring pass from Williams to Jordan Erwin helped UAB
pull to within 28-21. But Marshall ran off a 15-play drive that
ended on a 41-yard field goal by Anthony Binswanger, giving the
Herd a 31-21 lead with 9:50 to play in the game.
Swayze Waters kicked a 43-yard field goal for UAB and a Will
Dunbar interception gave the Blazers the ball at the Marshall 41
with four minutes to play and a chance to tie the score. But UAB
could not move the ball and Shavar Greer sack on fourth and long
snuffed out the Blazers' last threat.

Over 200 canned beers were judged in the 4th annual Ameri-Can Canned Craft Beer Festival. There were nine categories evaluated, and DC Brau took home three silver medals in the competition. Our collaboration, The Tradition won Silver in the "Golds, Blondes, Pilsners & Light Lagers" category.
In June of 2013, D.C. United and DC Brau asked fans to "Brand the Brew." You named it "The Tradition." Bars were sold out of the limited-run brew within two weeks.
It was truly a day to unite! D.C. United's "A Day to Unite" event at Pinstripes in Georgetown was a great success thanks to our amazing Season Ticket Holders.
Congratulations to D.C. United fan Joshua who won the 2013 #MLSPumpkin Contest! We are all proud!
Through a rough season, the Black-and-Red Faithful supported the club with unrivaled passion and dedication. We thank you all for wearing the crest with pride and supporting us on the field and in the community. Without your help in our Open Cup run this season, we could never have lifted our 13th trophy, together, as one. Thank you for your continued encouragement and steadfast support in 2013.
Recently, MLS partnered with an international soccer-art collective called the Futbol Artists Network (FAN), to create a series of club-inspired art as part of a project called #TrueColors. The project asked FAN artists to use the club's colors, marks, and jersey as inspiration for their pieces.

The whole episodes from the entire 3 Seasons are all there and the quality is much better compared to watching it on the late 80s. It's a good produced DVDs. So for those who haven't seen this TV show yet, better catch this one on DVD while it's out. One-of-a-kind cop show that you'll surely never wanna miss!

April 2 wasn't a good day for Jerome Maurice Ruffin.
He woke up that Good Friday and found that his car was gone. His apartment had been burglarized a few days before. He hadn't worked since July, when he was late for work one time too many and fired from his janitorial job at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. His unemployment had run out in December. His girlfriend, Nicole Phelps, was supporting Ruffin and their four children with a daycare job.
Phelps reported the car stolen. Then she went to the bank, returned home and gave Ruffin some money. Ruffin told her he'd found out who had broken into their home. While she walked with the couple's four kids to her mom's house on Flad Avenue, a few blocks away, he dressed and headed for the door.
"He said he would be on Shenandoah if I needed him," Phelps says.
Ruffin spent about four hours hanging out with friends on Shenandoah Avenue. It was warm, with temperatures rising into the 80s. Ruffin was a block from home with several friends, in front of 4059 Shenandoah, when a police car driven by Officer Brian Min approached about 4:30 p.m.
What happened next is the subject of two pending investigations one by the police internal-affairs division and one by the FBI.
In a police report signed by Min and his partner, Angela Leong, both officers say they pulled over and got out of their car. The report doesn't indicate why, only that Min considered the house "a known drug house and trouble spot in his area."
The people on the porch started walking away. The officers spotted Ruffin with a 12-ounce bottle of Budweiser and told him he was under arrest for drinking in public. They ordered him to put the beer down and to put his hands behind his back.
Instead, Ruffin ran off between houses. While Min ran after Ruffin, Leong went back to the squad car to pursue on the streets.
Ruffin wasn't moving fast, according to a property manager who happened to be driving on Shenandoah when the chase began. The property manager, who asked that his name not be published, describes Ruffin's pace as a "half-jog."
"He looked at me and I kind of looked at him," the property manager says. "He was not running. He did not know he was being chased, or if he did, he thought it was a half-assed effort."
By the time Ruffin passed John Bader and his tenant Angelisa Howard about a block later, he was acting like a man who knew he was being chased. Bader was on a second-story balcony on Cleveland Avenue. He says Ruffin was really cooking as he climbed a gate and ran through a backyard. He says Ruffin didn't pause when Min yelled, "Stop!" Bader heard Ruffin yell, "Goddamn motherfuckers," and other obscenities as he passed below, then disappeared into an alley.
Through alleys, yards and gangways between houses, Min pursued Ruffin for two blocks. Curious onlookers, including the property manager, followed as best they could on streets and sidewalks. When the chase reached a 4-foot-wide gangway next to a house at 4030 Flad Ave., there was a shot. Seconds later, Ruffin came out of the gangway.
"I'll never forget," says the property manager, who was about four buildings away. "He looked one way, then he looked up the street the other way, then he took a real deep breath, and then he just collapsed."
The slug from Min's 9mm Beretta had gone through Ruffin's left forearm and into his abdomen, slightly to the left of center. The bullet traveled upward through the large intestine, liver and diaphragm before lodging in the right side of Ruffin's chest.
Phelps, who heard the gunshot from her mother's house on Flad, was there before the yellow tape went up. So were her children.
"I ran to him and I said, "What happened? What's wrong?'" Phelps says. "He said, "He shot me for no reason.' I said, "Who shot you?' He kind of rolled and pointed his hand toward Min and said, "He did.' I said to Min, "You mean you shot him in front of his kids?' 'cause at the time the kids were on my mother's front (porch)."

Murilo "Ninja" Rua Training Camp at Nexus Martial Arts in Wareham, MA.
We were very happy to host Pride veteran Murilo "Ninja" Rua at NEXUS for a month as part of his training camp for his upcoming mixed martial arts fight in Elite XC. He is not only a great athlete, but also a genuine, funny, and open-minded person.
During Ninja's trip we also got in a couple of workouts with our friend, UFC lightweight contender Kenny Florian, who came down to visit and and train at NEXUS, as well as several sessions at Sityodtong and John Connors' Mixed Martial Arts.
Here is what Ninja had to say about his experience:"It was a real pleasure to develop new friendships and do a month-long training camp at Nexus Martial Arts. Coach Steve Whittier has helped me so much with my preparation for my next fight. He is a great coach in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA, and I have learned the most training at Nexus of any gym I have trained at in the U.S.
Also thanks very much to my good friend Cesar Barros, who has always helped me so much, Big Tom, and the other students at Nexus. I hope I can come back soon with my brother to train. This is my new training home in the States, and my gym will be a home for you whenever you come to Brazil!
I'd also like to say thank you to my new friend Kenny Florian. It was great training with you as well (and thanks to Mark DellaGrotte for having me visit your school to train). Whenever any of these guys need anything I'll be there for them any time, anywhere. When they come to Brazil I hope they can stay with me and work in my gym so I can help them as they helped me."

E-Cutout: Raceland Vs. DMH
I've currently got a 14" Magnaflow on my 2010 Hemi Ram w/ Duals. It's actually the Mufflex DODM14. I've had no problems with it and it sounds excellent, even in MDS mode.
I want more.
I've had a DMH E-Cutout before. It was on my 2008 Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin 4.6L. I loved the way it sounded. However, it burned out in 6 months. It endured only one upstate, NY winter.
I've heard very good things about the Raceland Switch N Blast E-Cutout.
I like the the Raceland has a remote and the install is very simple because the wiring is basically plug and play without the need to alter my interior to add a rocker switch for cutout operation. I also like that the Raceland unit is all one unit. The Y-pipe and motor are a single part. I also feel that this unit has a superior motor and plating/protection from the elements as compared to the DMH unit. I also like that this unit is based on a clamp installation instead of a weld in. Most of the units I see are clamped on. This unit seems to open very fast. It also looks like it's a one touch button that open/closes 100% automatically? Customer service, thus far, has been excellent, and I've not bought anything yet!
The DMH was a great unit. I feel the need to mention that I purchased this unit used. The E-Cutout is a seperate unit from the Y-pipe. This meant that I also had to buy a Y-pipe. I bought a Dynomax Cutout Y-pipe. It had a nice flange that allowed me to angle the DMH E-Cutout any way I wanted it and, more importantly, I could angle the down turn pipe any way I wanted. This system is basically meant to me welded in. In fact, i've never seen one that wasn't welded in with a DMH unit. I also didn't like holding down a button until I felt it was completely open. I see no reason why you would only want this device only part way open. To me, it's an all or nothing type of mod. I also feel that this type of switch led to undo stress by trying to open or close the unit when it was already in the full open or closed position. It took nearly 4-5 seconds to open/close this unit. Their customer service sucked. They never returned one phone call or email that I sent to them.
I'm wondering, what is your opinion on which brand is better?

The rehabilitation of Sir Gustave Sabastian (Gus)

In need of repair
Joined: Sep 2008

Oddometer: 2,391
Fixing the head oil leak & replacing the camchain:
I'd already part disassembled the bike last weekend, to replace the left head gasket, which was leaking. In doing so I disturbed the barrel base seals, so needed to pull the barrel to remedy this. I chose to part pull the barrel, then take out the circlips & gudgeon pin to release the piston, to avoid needing to use a ring compressor for reassembly. The base & stud o'rings were a little hard & were coated in silicon gasket material, so weren't really reusable.
That shiney thing inside the engine & under the crank is the camshaft.
Once I realized I'd need additional parts, I stopped for the day. I put in a parts order including base & stud o'rings, pushrod seals, & also a new camchain kit, crank camchain sprocket, & crank bearing. I'd wanted to look at the camchain given issues getting the carbs to sync, & some double imaging when I re-timed Gus.
This Saturday I managed to clean the old gasket material off the head & barrel, & some of the carbon (not much on this head). The valves look good. Not much recent movement (albeit but the right inlet was a little tight this time when I checked that side after I finished the left).
The bore still have cross hatching.
Pulled the cam followers using a bit of wire down the hole in the follower pushrod seats. They both looked good
I would have liked to pull the valves to check the guides, but don't own a value compressor. Maybe next time.
The barrels & heads went together okay. Included a light smear of Locktite 518 on the base (left over from KTM repairs), for extra sealing.
BTW the head gaskets are sided. The printing goes on the outside, otherwise the pushrod holes don't line up. So is the timing chain gasket. The piston has an arrow on it pointing forward (useful if it spins in the barrel while you are cleaning the carbon off). Rob Farmer recommended copper pennies are a good carbon scraper, given they are a softer marterial than the piston.
I chose not to pull the right side.
Pulled the starter cover & disconnected the beancan & alternator wiring. I don't have a diode board, so no issues there.
Pulled the front cover & removed the alternator (using the special tool), & bean can.
Pulled the timing chain cover.
The old paper gasket was a shit to remove. Ended up soaking it, then carefully using a Stanley Knife to lift it in sections. Knocked out the crank seal using a 36 mm socket, which I also subsequently used to introduce the new seal.
Ensured the bike was at TDC, indicated at the flywheel cover, & also that the two marks on the camchain sprocket (12 o'clock) & the crank sprocket (6 o'clock) were aligned. You need these two aligned for reassembly to prevent expensive damage.
Removed the camchain rail (bolt & nut at the left looking at the camchain. Also removed the circlip for the tensioner on the right, & removed the tensioner
Pulled the bearing using a medium sized three jaw bearing puller, & a penny across the crank nose (to prevent damage). Needed a little heat to get it to move.
The single row camchain has a masterlink on the engine side of the chain, usually on the cam shaft sprocket at circa 3 o'clock.
Used the puller to remove the Crank sprocket. More heat.
Mandy had a roast on, so I popped the new crank sprocket in the oven to preheat that. Made reassembly real easy with a bit of freeze spray on the crank. Didn't impress my wife though, even though I explained they were new & unused parts...
Not too much wear on either the camchain or crank sprocket, but enough to give some play.
And that's where I've stopped for the day. I looked at the camshaft sprocket wondering if I needed to replace that. I *think* its okay, so won't (GBP34 - ouch)..
Back at this tonight for an hour or so.
I boiled the billy with a little engine oil to heat the bearing in front of the crank sprocket. Then freeze sprayed the crank again, & the bearing just slipped on. In hindsight I would have put on the camchain prior to doing this. I just got excited I guess.
Before you fit the camchain make sure that the tensioner spring & piston are fitted. You can't fit them once the camchain is fitted. DAMHIK.
I fitted the camchain with the masterlink at the bottom of the cam sprocket. It's tighter, but its harder to lose the masterlink into the guts of the motor if it goes flying off, and you can use the crankcase for a little leverage. The masterlink goes in towards the crankcase according to everything that I'e read. But looking at the Snowbum photo, the link is on the outside of the chain? The camchain travels clockwise, therefore the masterlink open end goes to the right, away from the direction of travel. I held the master link back plate & then the masterlink in place with a little grease & a magnetic screwdriver. I used a flat bladed screw driver to clip the link back into engagement, pressing to the right. Note the masterlink on the new chain has a darker link than the balance of the chain. In the picture below I have already spun the motor to check for smooth rotation, & to visually check the masterlink clip is properly seated.
Check that the sprockets indicators still align, & that the flywheel still shows as TDC. If you stuff it up then expensive things may happen the first time you fire it up.
The camchain guide then bolts back in place, parallel with the camchain, & the tensioner goes on the right side, tensioned by the piston & spring, & held in place with a small circlip on the pivot.
Of course by the time you get here you will have thoroughly cleaned off the old timing chain gasket. The new one appears to have the same rubberised feel as the sump gasket - I suspect that it seals with heat. I didn't use gasket goo on that. But there are two small round paper gaskets to go at the top of the timing chest, to space that out properly, so the timing chest cover sits straight when you torque it down. You could use a bit of gasket goo to hold these in the right place, because they are a right bugger if you are juggling a hot timing cover & trying to fit these at a later point.
I heated the timing chest with a paint stripper heat gun (but if you are feeling brave, or live by yourself, then you could put it in the oven). Got it up to sizzle spit temp. You need to open the clearance to allow the bearing to sit squarely & fully in the timing cover.
Freeze spray the bearing to get that to contract. Welders gloves help pushing the timing chest on without burning your hands.
From there on its straightforward, replace the alternator stator, rotor, diode board (if you have one), bean can (you did note where that sat didn't you?), plug everything back together, adjust the ignition timing, & then you are pretty much done.

With this approach, > there would be an exposed device for every node in a volume stack, > whereas the current EVMS design only exposes nodes for the final > volumes. True, all the devices are exposed in /dev/device-mapper. What we do with LVM2 is stick with the /dev/<vg_name>/<lv_name> scheme, where the lv is a symlink to the relevant node in the device-mapper dir. That way people only see the top level devices, unless they peek under the hood by looking at /dev/device-mapper. > Next, from what I've seen, device-mapper provides static remappings > from one device to another.

The thing that you've missed is that ranges of sectors are mapped by dm onto 'targets', these targets are instances of a 'target_type' virtual class. You can define your own target types in a seperate module and register them using the int dm_register_target(struct target_type *t); function (see <linux/device-mapper.h>). We originally intended all the standard target types to be defined in seperate modules, but that seemed silly considering the tiny size of them (eg, < 200 lines for striping). The targets type that we will be using in LVM2 are: io-err - errors every io linear striped snapshot, and snapshot origin mirror (used to provide pvmove support as well as mirroring). (both the snapshot targets and mirroring target will use kcopyd for efficient copying using kiobufs.) So if you invent a new form of striping, just implement a new target type. > How about mirroring? Does the linear module in device-mapper allow > for 1-to-n mappings? This would be similar to the way AIX does > mirroring, where each LP of an LV can map to up to three PPs on > different PVs. No, there's a seperate mirror target that Patrick Caulfields working on at the moment. > How would device-mapper handle a remapping that is dynamic at runtime? Suspending a device flushes all pending io to the device, ie. all io that has been through the driver but not yet completed. Once you have suspended you are free to loaded a new mapping table into the device (this is essential for implementing snapshots and pvmove). When the new mapping is in place you just have to resume the device and away you go. - Joe
