Does your perfect summer include the sun and surf? Do you feel there's nothing quite like the feeling of having a tropical wind blow in your face while the surf crashes on shore as the sun sets over the ocean?
There's a wilderness that encompasses far more of the world's space that most people will never see: That's the wilderness under, and above, the ocean. There can you see fan coral and sea grass, sting rays and manatees, sharks and goliath grouper. There can you travel the seas where explorers, pirates and adventurers have sailed for centuries. That is the wilderness that Scouts and Venturers will explore as members of Dan Beard Council's Contingent to the Boy Scouts of America's Florida Sea Base, located in the heart of the fabulous Florida Keys, on a subtropical island 75 miles south of Miami.
In 2012 Dan Beard Council is sending two eight member coed crews to enjoy the Coral Reef Sailing or Keys Adventure programs.
A 40- to 50-foot sailing yacht will become your home for a week. It has a large self-contained galley and dining area where you will prepare wholesome meals from the fresh foods supplied by Sea Base, supplemented by fresh catches from trolling while underway.
Your captain will instruct you in navigation, fishing and sailing, and will remain on board for the entire trip. You choose your own float plan to explore the beautiful Florida Keys. This trip offers one-of-a-kind snorkeling and abundant fishing. You'll spend a "port day" back at Sea Base and have the chance to demonstrate your sailing skills in Sea Base's fleet of Hunter Sailboats.
This adventure has the flexibility to include activities that personally interest the crew, such as night trawling to examine marine life, a possible overnight, great boating days visiting fabulous fishing and snorkeling areas.
Fishing is an integral part of Keys Adventure; your powerboat is supplied with heavy tackle and some lightweight rods and reels. Most crews are able to add some fresh fish or possibly lobster to the menu during their stay. Your itinerary will also include a great deal of snorkeling and the opportunity to learn more about marine biology from a fish-eye point of view. You will also have an opportunity to learn to sail on the Atlantic Ocean with a full day of cruising on the high seas. A few evenings you will also have the chance to go on a nighttime snorkel, a bridge fishing trip, and a sunset kayak tour!
The cost of the trip for each program is $1,600, which includes all transportation costs, admission fees, meals and lodging during the trip and the cost of pre-trip activities. Crew members supply their own personal gear, spending money, and enthusiasm. The official Venture uniform shorts and socks will be required for travel. A photo ID (valid driver's license, passport or state issued photo ID) is also required. Special dietary needs are the responsiblity of the particpant.
Participation is open to male and female Venture Scouts living within Dan Beard Council. Participants must be in good health, be able to swim 100 yards and stay afloat for one minute and, by July 7, 2012, be at least 14 years old or 13 and entering 9th in the fall of 2012.
Sea Base Crew members (youth and adult Crew Advisors) will be selected based on their application and personal interviews. There is space for six youth Venturers and two adults on each crew. No more than two scouts and one adult from a single unit may participate.
A $200 application fee is due upon registration, which becomes non-refundable after September 16, 2011. The remaining $1,400 balance is due in $200 payments on October 15, November 15, December 15, January 15, February 15 and March 15. Any payments which were due before you join the contingent are due at the time you join.
If you are outside of Dan Beard Council and are interested in joining our Sea Base Contingent, you should register to be placed on the waiting list. After January 1, 2012, youth from the waiting list will be contacted to fill available spots. You do not need to submit the application fee or make any payments while you are on the waiting list.
Register on line at https://www.doubleknot.com/registration/calendardetail.asp?ActivityKey=729501, or by downloading, completing and mailing the Sea Base 2012 Registration Application.
PAYMENT AND REFUND POLICY: After September 16, 2011, the $200 application fee is non-refundable. The remaining details of the Payment And Refund Policy will be posted by August 15, 2011.
Dan Beard Council makes substantial payments and commitments well in advance of the departure date. It is important that you make your payments when they are due.
If you withdraw, you may receive a partial refund of the amount you have paid in one of two ways:
(A) The contingent is completely full at the time of departure. In this case, you will receive an 80% refund of the payments you have made.
(B) If the contingent is not completely full at the time of departure, but you find a replacement for your spot who is (i) approved by Dan Beard Council to participant with the contingent; and (ii) makes all the required payments as they are due, you will receive a 50% refund of the payments you have made. If you find two replacements, you will receive a 100% refund of the payments you have made. Someone who has previously indicated to Dan Beard Council an interest in joining the contingent, such as by requesting or submitting an application, is not eligible to be a replacement for you under this section.
Any refund will be available to you beginning July 16, 2012.
If your financial circumstances interfere with making payments when they are due, contact Jason Baldridge at (513)577-7700 ahead of time.

NOPREN was established as a research and evaluation network of the Prevention Research Centers program, with funding from the Division of Nutrition Physical Activity and Obesity at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and support from other partners. The network consists of one coordinating center, 5 funded member centers, 9 affiliate member centers, and technical advisors from DNPAO and the National Cancer Institute at National Institutes of Health. The network has four working groups that focus on Water Access, Rural Food Access, Policy Impact, and Food Policy Councils. Network members also work on collaborative projects with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Healthy Eating Research (HER) working groups that focus on early care and education. All Centers engage community partners and local and/or state health practitioners. NOPREN is a part of the portfolio of the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research.
The mission of the Network is to conduct transdisciplinary practice-based policy research and evaluation along the continuum of policy identification, development, evaluation, and dissemination by:
· Identifying areas subject to influence by policies
· Identifying relevant policies that foster or inhibit healthier lifestyles
· Describing the process of developing and implementing policies
· Evaluating adopted policy content, intent, and enforcement
· Evaluating health outcomes and co-benefits/consequences of policies
· Creating and disseminating model policies and policy briefs
Information from completed research and evaluation is disseminated to a variety of audiences including practitioners, state and local health departments, federal, state, and local policymakers, and advocates.
What are Nutrition and Obesity Policies?
Policies that affect the nutrition environment and influence lifestyle choices and behavior. They can have impacts on diet, physical activity, and energy balance.
Examples include:
- Financial incentives to encourage healthy food and beverage choices
- Community design and zoning policies
- School food and physical activity policies
- Point of purchase, marketing, and advertising policies
- Policies that increase access to water and reduce access to sugar-sweetened beverages
- Menu labeling policies
(adapted from McKinnon RA et al."Considerations for an Obesity Policy Research Agenda" Am J Prev Med 2009.)
Relevant Policies
Relevant policies may be enacted at the local, state, federal, or tribal level and typically include:
- Legislative actions
- Executive orders
- City/county ordinances/zoning
- Agency regulations or rulemaking
- Contracts/legally binding agreements
- Organizational policies (e.g. school and workplace policies).
Terms of Use
NOPREN Project Period: 2011-2014 NOPREN is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under cooperative agreement number 1-U48-DP-001946.

From APRT to ARKKI In 1994 žrestadsselskabet arranged an international architectural competition for a complete master plan for žrestad. Based on a public debate about the competitionÆs four winning proposals, and following the recommendation of the žrestad Council, žrestadsselskabet selecteted the successful Finnish team of Aaro Artto, Teemu Palo, Yrj÷ Rossi, Hannu Tikka, and Matti Kaijansinkko to draw up the proposal for the future master plan. After winning this selection, the Finnish studio, APRT, formed a joint venture with KHR arkitekter under the name ARKKI ApS. Workshop for new ideas The unified plan was presented to the City of Copenhagen by žrestadsselskabet in July 1995. The following year, the city agreed on a zoning plan which determined the boundaries of the future žrestad. The defining features of the original winning project have been kept intact. The žrestad districts share a high density of tall buildings in common, which will assert themselves as a contrast to the nearby FµlledÆs large horizontal landscape. The žrestad is to serve as a testing ground for new ideas and later serve to display CopenhagenÆs planning and architecture at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st.

Meridian Community College
910 Highway 19 N,
Meridian, MS 39307
MCC provides interpreter services for students with the proper documentation. Interpreter services are provided for all academic courses and course-related activities such as field trips. The college is responsible for the cost of the interpreter; however, the college will not pay for interpreter services for courses that the student has previously satisfactorily passed. Vocational Rehabilitation may reimburse the college for the cost of the interpreter if the student qualifies for services through their agency.
Canceling Interpreter Services
Notifying the CTE Support Services Office less than 24 hours in advance is considered a LATE NOTICE. Failure to contact the CTE Support Services Coordinator 60 minutes before a class is considered a NO SHOW. Two LATE NOTICES are considered one NO SHOW. If the student receives three NO SHOWS in any one class, the services for that class will be terminated. Reinstatement of services requires a formal request to the CTE Support Services Office. Students experiencing sudden illness, accidents, or injury should contact the CTE Support Services Office as soon as possible in order to avoid receiving a NO SHOW.
The interpreter will wait ten minutes to verify class attendance before leaving. After that time the student will be given a NO SHOW.
Note: Due to severe shortages in qualified sign language interpreters, the CTE Support Services Coordinator must prioritize interpreter services. NO SHOWS place a student at the bottom of the priority list.

Dodge City Daily Globe
Posted Nov. 18, 2013 @ 9:50 pm
Forward Delvon Rencher hit a free throw with 3.4 seconds in regulation to push the Dodge City Conquistadors to a 96-95 win over the Clarendon Bulldogs in the final game of the Conqs Classic at United Wireless Arena.
It was the second straight one-point win in two nights as the Conqs improved to 6-1 on the season as the two squads battled in a see-saw battle that saw 12 lead changes and 11 ties.
"The one thing about this game is the outcome," said DCCC men's basketball head coach Kyle Campbell. "We're learning on the run and these aren't things you can practice; the pressure where you're down one late in the game in a late game situation. I don't necessarity like the way we're playing, but we're winning."
E.J. Eaves scored 20 of his team-high 28 points in the second half to pace the Conqs. Eaves said he is getting more comfortable in the system as the season has progressed.
"Our coaches told me to relax and let the game come to me," Eaves said. "These type of wins are good for bringing our team closer together."
Larry Beckett recorded a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds, with 15 points coming after intermission. Rencher added 18 points and grabbed nine boards in the win.
Campbell said there is a lot of work still to be done, but this group is able to stay on focus and win the close games.
"We're young and not very smart right now, but we're finding way to win the close games and we couldn't win these games last year," Campbell said. "Our ceiling is very high with this team and it's just a matter of getting everybody on the same page.
"The great thing about it is that it's not one single guy every night for us to win.
Horshell Grant scored 31 points and Melvin Mitchell added 19 to lead the Bulldogs (3-4).
Dodge City scored 12 of the first 15 points of the game before the Bulldogs was able to take the lead seven minutes into the game and led 29-23 midway through the first half.
The Conqs were able to battle back with a nine-point run and led 46-42 at halftime, despite committing 13 turnovers in the stanza. Rencher led Dodge City in scoring with 10 points.
The Conqs were able to extend their lead to 10 at early in the second half before Clarendon started another comeback and were able to regain the lead at 72-70 at the midway point of the period. The teams exchanged the lead throughout the remainder of the period up to Rencher's game winning charity shot. A final coast-to-coast drive attempt by Grant was taken too late and was missed.
The Conqs return to action Tuesday night with a return battle against the Lamar Running Lopes. Dodge City won at Lamar 70-68 in the first meeting this season between the two teams. Gametime is scheduled for 8 p.m.

June DiMatteo, AuD
What makes Alliance Hearing and Balance Center your choice for audiological care?
- We understand that hearing loss creates problems in many areas of our lives – in conversations at work, at home, at school and in social situations. And that these problems can create frustration and isolation.
- We know that some children struggle in school because they cannot process speech well, even though they have normal hearing.
- We know how embarrassing it can be to misunderstand a conversation.
- We believe that hearing is precious and needs to be protected from the effects of excessively loud noise or music.
- We understand that balance problems can make even simple activities difficult and a worry.
- We believe that you deserve not only someone who performs evaluations, but an audiologist who listens to your concerns, explains test results and works with you for personalized solutions.

But they had time to make a news post to get people to apply. So I assume that people are getting answers on their applies pretty fast aswell.
Definetly gonna need some admins asap.

Sikorsky announced on 6 May that its S-92 helicopter has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to fly automated approaches to offshore oil rigs, which the company claims reduces cockpit workload by 60%.
"Our new rig approach feature takes the guesswork out of the equation when a pilot is flying out to an oil platform," says Dan Hunter, Sikorsky's commercial programmes director. "It provides a 'hands off' approach that increases the safety of the aircraft tremendously."
Sikorsky says it conducted the bulk of the automated rig approach certification flight tests in 2011. Subsequently in 2012, the company worked with the FAA to provide a path for certification.
"Automated rig approach had never been done before so the FAA had no basis on which to compare it," says Ron Doeppner, Sikorsky's project pilot. "We couldn't go to the FAA regulators and say we're certifying this according to existing data. We're writing the book on it, working with the operator and the FAA."
FAA officials flew in February for the certification review, Sikorsky says.

Pupils fighting fit for festival
Posted: December 17, 2013|
YOUNGSTERS from across Newquay battled for the winning title at a martial arts festival.
Treviglas Community College hosted its fourth annual martial arts festival for primary schools last week.
The festival was developed in partnership with Ed Byrne, of the Byrne Black Belt Academy. He and his instructors helped run the festival, providing many of the judges for the bouts.
Mr Byrne said: "All the bouts were held in a fantastic, positive spirit, with good sportsmanship."
Treviglas elite martial arts sports leaders also helped judge some bouts.
The scorers and timekeepers on the day were Year 10 sports leaders who, as part of their leadership course, help with running and organising the college's primary festivals.
Eden Benney, Year 13 elite martial arts sports leader and European champion, said: "I really enjoy working with the young teams. We have run a festival like this in college on a smaller scale, but this was amazing with all the different schools and children.
"I hope that these experiences will help me become a top instructor one day." Sean Wells, community sports co-ordinator for Treviglas, said: "At Treviglas, we are very lucky to have five British champions in different martial arts. Many of our students are excelling at individual sports for their leisure activities.
"We therefore hope to develop martial arts in curriculum enhancement time in college and be the centre of a martial arts hub for schools in the area.
"With our leadership of sports partnership events across Newquay we are always looking to include as many different sporting activities as possible.
"Our young people love it."

Most people escape unscathed, relieved that the annual ordeal is over. But stories about employees who don't behave are passed around long after the party is over; besides the embarrassment, drunken antics can even jeopardize their careers.
Nicole Chavas, 25, an accountant for a financial services firm in Chicago, had only been working at her new job for a few months before her office party.
"Since I'm a bit shy, I was hoping the party would be a good way to loosen up and get to know my coworkers better," Chavas said. "Of course, when there's an open bar beginning at 4 p.m., wanting to 'loosen up' became 'getting wasted and losing all inhibitions.'"
As the night progressed and Chavas got more and more inebriated, she called her boss' work phone number and had a co-worker leave a message for the boss saying that she wouldn't be making it into work the next day.
"He promptly left some rambling message about how 'Nicole is probably going to call in sick. You work her too hard. She needs a vacation anyway,'" she said.
When Chavas did return to work, she was, understandably, embarrassed, but even more so when her department serenaded her by playing back the several messages she left for her boss.
"Later, to add insult to injury, pictures from the party were released and there were two of me downing a glass of wine, which was promptly printed and displayed on my coworker's wall for several months," she said. "Luckily, everyone was relatively good-natured about the whole thing."
One of the most obvious office party faux pas is overindulging at the company-funded open bar. Typically the formula goes something like this: take an office full of coworkers, add alcohol. Hilarity ensues.
That's certainly what happened with Chavas, and she's not alone. A recent survey conducted by a professional women's group found that drinking too much was the number one regret of women at their office parties. Sixty percent of the women surveyed changed their opinion of a co-worker after witnessing mojito-fueled hijinks.
Rachael, a New York fashion designer, told ABC News that at one holiday office party where she'd had too much to drink, she started asking her coworkers if they had any marijuana.
"That was kind of embarrassing the next day," she said.
"At any sort of cocktail party ... you don't want to be that guy or girl, the one that just goes over the top … gets hammered [and] has sex with her boss or someone's sister," said David Wollock, a TV producer and coauthor of "Etiquette for Outlaws."
"On the other hand I do think that office parties present you with a really good opportunity to sort of navigate different work cliques that you don't normally associate yourself with," Wollock said. "If your boss totally parties ... and you can party with him at the office party, I do think that raises your status."
But Wollock's "Etiquette for Outlaws" co-author Rob Cohen thinks drunkeness and office parties go hand in hand.

XBMC 10 Dharma Released
I'm hearing good things so far from this release. Add-ons are not such a PITA and you can install them directly from XBMC. This is the one thing that Boxee had over XBMC, but it the add-ons are easy to install, then I'm going back to XBMC.
I'm also going to experiment a little and try out the XBMC Live edition on a USB drive. Anyone else using XBMC Live?
Re: XBMC 10 Dharma Released
USB drive idea didn't work like I planned, so I decided to install XBMC Live on my 36GB Raptor drive.
If you have a HTPC or are considering building one, go with XBMC Live. WMC Remote works right out of the box and with the additions of the add-on browser, it makes the best Media Center hub.
If you have any questions, I've pretty much tried it out so ask me! :D
Re: XBMC 10 Dharma Released

The Curious Problem of the 1980s
What I found was that for the most part, my answers for each ten year period followed along pretty closely with conventional wisdom, with one glaring exception.
1950s: 1. Al Rollins, 2. Jacques Plante, 3. Glenn Hall
1960s: 1. Johnny Bower, 2. Charlie Hodge, 3. Glenn Hall
1970s: 1. Tony Esposito, 2. Bernie Parent, 3. Ken Dryden
1980s: 1. Dan Bouchard, 2. Pete Peeters, 3. Chico Resch
1990s: 1. Dominik Hasek, 2. Patrick Roy, 3. Curtis Joseph
2000s: 1. Miikka Kiprusoff, 2. Dominik Hasek, 3. Roberto Luongo
For most of the decades, they go pretty much as expected. Probably the only real surprises to most would be the absences of Terry Sawchuk and Martin Brodeur, but neither would be particularly surprising to regular readers of this blog. That is until we come to the 1980s. Of the three goalies listed from the 1980s, I would not have predicted any of them to rank that highly. I think the expected names were Grant Fuhr, Billy Smith, Patrick Roy, or maybe Mike Liut, but none of them popped up.
The 1980s were in many ways a unique time for goaltenders. It was a time of dynasties, a time of expansion (both in terms of teams and a talent pool expanding to include European talent), and a time of rapid evolution in goaltending technique and equipment. I think there also was an absence of a true superstar goaltender, someone to take over the mantle from Esposito, Parent and Dryden, at least until Patrick Roy became established near the end of the decade. This is indicated by the fact that there were no repeat winners of the Vezina Trophy throughout the decade.
It unlikely that any other decade can match the 1980s for contrasting styles - Roy was leading the butterfly revolution against some of the old stand-up goalies, there were European goalies like Lindbergh coming over to add their own playing methods, athletic goalies such as Fuhr to challenge old limits of goalie capabilities, and goalies were also becoming more involved in terms of puckhandling, with Hextall leading the way. This makes it difficult to subjectively rate goalie play.
However, possibly the biggest factor was the lack of parity in the league. Some goalies played on powerhouse teams and received wide recognition for their team successes, while others were doomed to be overlooked because of their weak teammates. Looking at average GAA throughout the decade, there were 6 teams that allowed under 3.5 goals against on average: Montreal (3.14), Boston (3.30), Philadelphia (3.31), Buffalo (3.38), New York Islanders (3.40), and Washington (3.46). There was then a clear gap to the rest of the league, as the next best team was Calgary (3.73). There were 5 teams that allowed over a goal per game more than Montreal on average: Winnipeg (4.24), New Jersey (4.26), Pittsburgh (4.27), Los Angeles (4.33), and Toronto (4.43).
Is it likely that teams like Montreal and Philadelphia had better goaltenders than Toronto did? Probably, for the most part. However, that difference certainly can't be blamed entirely on the goaltending. During the decade, Toronto played 15 different goaltenders. Philadelphia used 13 different netminders, including 3 that also played in Toronto. The Leafs gave up 1.1 more goals per game. Obviously the key factor there was team defence, not goaltending.
I looked at save percentage statistics, but I soon came to the conclusion that it was a largely futile exercise. The top 6 1980s goalies in save percentage (minimum 3000 shots faced) all played on one of the 6 strong defensive teams mentioned above. At the bottom of the list were mostly the goalies from the league bottom feeders. If I used save percentage alone, I would claim that the best goalies of the decade were Patrick Roy, Kelly Hrudey, Ron Hextall, Bob Froese, Billy Smith, Andy Moog, Glen Hanlon, Reggie Lemelin, and Tom Barrasso. However, I don't believe these selections to be entirely correct.
Therefore, I turned to my method of comparing results against backup goalies. In the 1980s, platoons were quite common, so the method should be pretty accurate since sample size isn't as big of an issue. A lot of teams had goalies that virtually split time. What was very interesting was that a lot of times the goalies had very similar statistics. Andy Moog and Grant Fuhr in Edmonton, Patrick Roy and Brian Hayward in Montreal, Billy Smith and Kelly Hrudey in New York, this pattern was repeated in a number of cities, and is further evidence that the team is very influential in determining the success of a goaltender in the vast majority of cases.
Here are the top 10 goalies from the 1980s, in terms of performance against their backups (with adjusted percentage better than teammates, adjusted GAA, and adjusted teammate GAA):
1. Dan Bouchard, 15.1%, 2.86, 3.29
2. Bob Froese, 14.0%, 2.50, 2.85
3. Allan Bester, 12.6%, 3.22, 3.63
4. Kelly Hrudey, 11.3%, 2.81, 3.13
5. Mario Lessard, 11.1%, 3.17, 3.52
6. Pete Peeters, 10.8%, 2.47, 2.74
7. Chico Resch, 10.6%, 3.05, 3.38
8. Andy Moog, 9.8%, 2.84, 3.12
9. Tom Barrasso, 8.4%, 2.75, 2.98
10. Rollie Melanson, 7.4%, 2.95, 3.17
Was Dan Bouchard really the best goalie of the 1980s? Many people would probably respond to that question with, "Who?" Bouchard played 8 seasons for the Atlanta Flames, mostly in the 1970s, and then was traded to the Quebec Nordiques where he spent 5 years before finishing up his career in Winnipeg. Bouchard's save percentage from 1982-1986 was just .873, slightly below league average, but his teams were weak. Bouchard also ranks 6th out of all goalies in the 1970s, so that is more evidence that he was a good goalie. Probably a major reason why Bouchard isn't well remembered is that his career playoff win/loss record is 13-30.
Pete Peeters is another surprise. I was expecting Peeters to be revealed as a team creation, someone who was only successful because of the dominant Philadelphia, Washington and Boston defences he played behind. I think they were definitely all significant contributors to his success, but the evidence remains that Peeters outplayed the other goalies on his teams.
Allan Bester is the kind of goalie that is easy to overlook because he played for terrible teams, but he had an .885 save percentage on the 1980s Toronto Maple Leafs, which is certainly deserving of respect.
On the other side of the scale, here are some goalies who did not do significantly better than their backups did:
Grant Fuhr, 1.1%, 2.99, 3.03
Don Beaupre, 1.1%, 3.00, 3.03
Greg Millen, 1.1%, 3.17, 3.20
Bob Sauve, 1.0%, 2.81, 2.84
Richard Brodeur, 0.5%, 3.08, 3.10
Brian Hayward, 0.5%, 2.97, 2.98
Glen Hanlon, 0.2%, 2.94, 2.94
Greg Stefan, -0.1%, 3.17, 3.16
Gilles Meloche, -0.2%, 2.90, 2.89
Tony Esposito, -1.0%, 3.02, 3.00
Billy Smith, -1.4%, 2.70, 2.67
Patrick Roy, -1.6%, 2.39, 2.35
Pat Riggin, -1.7%, 2.75, 2.71
Clint Malarchuk, -4.1%, 2.81, 2.69
Don Edwards, -8.1%, 2.89, 2.66
It now becomes difficult to know where to rate someone like Roy, who put up outstanding numbers in terms of GAA, wins, and save percentage, but wasn't even able to outplay the other goalies on his team. I don't think he played poorly, but he obviously received tremendous support from his teammates, and I think it is fair to conclude that a lot of other goalies could have put up similar results in that team situation. Look at, for example, Brian Hayward. In 1985-86, with Winnipeg, Hayward was 13-28-5, 4.79, .842. In 1986-87, in Montreal, Hayward outplayed Patrick Roy and led the league in goals against average with 2.81 (Hayward's record was 19-13-4 with an .894 save percentage). That the same goaltender could have a drop of nearly 2 full goals per game in GAA just by switching teams illustrates the nature of the competitive climate of the time, and makes Roy, Smith, Fuhr, etc. appear to be more lucky than good.
Playoff results are normally important in ranking goalies, but the team factors again loom very large. Grant Fuhr, Kelly Hrudey, Billy Smith, Mike Vernon, and Patrick Roy all had very good records, but most of their playoff games were on very good teams. The Islanders and Oilers were dominant in the playoffs pretty much no matter who they had in net. For the weaker teams, the team effects were even stronger since the opponents were tougher. I see it as unfair to penalize goalies for getting shelled while their teams were being dominated by better teams like the Oilers, Islanders, Flames, or Flyers. Therefore, I'm taking playoff performance into account, but not weighting it very heavily.
In summary, there is little evidence that there were any dominant goaltenders in the 1980s. As a result, it is mostly team effects that determine which goalies endure in the public memory and which ones are forgotten. To try to identify the true standouts, I'm relying heavily on their comparative performance against teammates. The imprecise nature of the 1980s situation makes it difficult to come to a definitive ranking, and I'm not sure we'll ever arrive at one. Nevertheless, it is an interesting area of discussion, and I'll at least take a shot at it:
Rankings of 1980s goalies:
1. Dan Bouchard
2. Pete Peeters
3. Mike Liut
4. Kelly Hrudey
5. Bob Froese
6. Chico Resch
7. Reggie Lemelin
8. Andy Moog
9. Tom Barrasso
10. Allan Bester

I think the "performance vs back-up" analysis is very flawed. You're basically taking something that's hard to quantify - i.e. a starting goaltender's overall ability - by comparing him to something that is just as hard to quantify: his backup's overall ability. But every goalie has a different backup, therefore the yardstick used for comparison is not constant. Andy Moog, for example, was a legitimate starting goaltender even when he was backup to Grant Fuhr. Ranking goalies according to how much better than their backups they are or were is not an indication of how good they are or were compared to everyone else.
It is also important to keep in mind that some backups and weaker links in goaltending tandems get games against weaker teams hand-picked for them. I don't have old schedules in front of me, but maybe Hayward's numbers were comparable to Roy's because Roy got the lion's share of the starts against offences like Edmonton's. After all, if he's hardly better than Hayward in the late 80's, how does he suddenly become the second-best goalie in the league in the 90s according to your own analysis? He may have peaked then but he the difference wasn't so great that he was "more lucky than good" in the 80s and 2nd-best in the 90s.
The statement "That the same goaltender could have a drop of nearly 2 full goals per game in GAA just by switching teams illustrates the nature of the competitive climate of the time, and makes Roy, Smith, Fuhr, etc. appear to be more lucky than good" is also somewhat misleading, as goaltenders sometimes see their GAA rise or fall significantly from year to year even when playing for the same team over that span (look at Hrudey's numbers in LA as a quick example). Sometimes players just have bad seasons, and sometimes they play above their heads. Look at Patrick Roy's GAA from 91-92 to 93-94: 67 GP 2.36 GAA in '92, 62 GP 3.20 GAA in '93, 68 GP 2.50 GAA. His SV% in that time went 0.914-0.894-0.918, indicating that he actually played worse (not to mention that the middle year was Montreal's last Stanley Cup year, so there was nothing wrong with his team). A rise and drop of 0.84 GAA and 0.7 GAA doesn't approach your example of nearly 2 GAA difference for Hayward, but it does draw light to the fact that significant changes occur regardless of switching teams. Another good example is Evgeny Nabokov's suddenly-brutal numbers in 2005-06 despite never changing teams.
The case that goalies can be made by (or at least can heavily benefit from) a good team and system is a valid one, but the method of comparison to his backup is practically useless. After all, even Dominic Hasek was someone's backup for a long time.

I started reading from this last post and then read some old ones, so I take back my "practically useless" comment as it's a bit out of line; you have been considering the quality of the backup goaltender to some extent, and you have been using this tool in combination with others, whereas it initially seemed to me that you were using this analysis pretty much exclusively to define goaltender strength. Sorry.
I still think it's pretty misleading though. Teams often don't even play the same with different goaltenders in net, and shot quality varies tremendously as well. Sometimes you just have to go back and watch the footage, and you see things like Grant Fuhr facing rediculous numbers of odd-man rushes, thus making the shots he faces arguably more difficult than those faced by many other 'tenders. The Oil were happy to trade chances with their offence, and while I don't recall if it was the same with his backups, there are recent examples of teams playing different styles with different goalies in net. One would be Ottawa playing with Hasek vs playing with Emery in the fall of 2005. With Hasek they were more offensive as they were confident trading chances with Hasek in goal behind them, whereas with Emery in goal they were more conservative (another testament to how solid Hasek was even as a relatively old player).
I agree that the notion that Fuhr was more valuable than Gretzky is laughable though, but I don't argue too much with his Vezina win. He was quite incredible.

Lindsay Lohan Will Rock 66 Liz Taylor Looks in Her New Film!
Talk about commitment. Aside from a noted look that Lindsay Lohan rocked right out of yesterday, the over-hyped and sometimes underrated actress will be pulling out all the stops for Liz & Dick, creating 66 separate looks in the 80-minute Lifetime movie (that's more than one look every two minutes, for those interested in the math).
The actress is also getting very into Elizabeth Taylor's famous hair, makeup and jewelry stylings, even dying her hair a raven brunette and bringing her own makeup on to set. Linds and her team of stylists have their work cut out for them, since the movie will be covering more than 20 years of Liz's life, focusing mainly on her marriage(s—there were two) to Richard Burton. Out of the many fab Liz looks, expect all the trademarks: impossibly long lashes and blood-red lips from the classic days of the 50s, her 60s Cleopatra-inspired cat eyes and nude lip look, and much more. As for the bling, producers for the TV movie replicated some of Liz's most famous baubles, including the 33-carat Krupp diamond (Liz Taylor was like the original Jennifer Lopez in the large rock department).
So far, Lilo is eliciting strong approval as Liz Taylor from everyone involved in the production; Liz & Dick costume designer Salvador Pérez gushed to People that "there was an audible gasp" when she first walked onto set in character. "You'd swear it was Elizabeth." Makeup artist Eryn Krueger Mekash agrees: "She looks so much like her. There was a moment when she saw her picture on the monitor and said 'I'm her.' It was thrilling."
This might seem like no big deal (like 'sure, of course folks on the production would approve'), but remember that Lilo's potential for a bad reputation has even affected her peers on previous jobs, like when she recently guested on Glee (not to mention back in the day, when everyone on the set of Georgia Rule—including Jane Fonda—thought she was bad news).
It's probably too soon to be completely sure, but we bet all the naysayers who thought Lilo couldn't pull this off are beginning to doubt themselves. Here's hoping Lindsay reclaims some of her acting chops as the inimitable Elizabeth Taylor!

I have a friend that wants a simple (good for me) stocking cap pattern that rolls to form a brim. I've said before that I will not knit anything that has to fit...so I'm already in trouble. Therefore this pattern must be VERY easy and very stretchable (so that it will fit no matter how big or small I make it). Anybody here have a pattern they love that they can recommend.
My favorite hat is Marsan's Watch Cap off knitty.com
Thanks I'll check it out!
Here is a pattern with a ribbed brim, if you leave off the ribbing and just knit stockinette stitch, it should give you a rolled brim.
A bunch of free hat patterns can be found at the link below. I'm sure you'll find the perfect solution there.
Free Knit Hat Patterns
Thanks Tom - I'll check it out.
Check out the collection at knittinghelp.com.... about halfway down on the right there is a rolled-brim hat. Once you see the basic design I'm sure its easy to change colors or add stripes on your own.
Great - another one to check out! Now I'll have to do that strange thing like actually make a decision on which one to do!

the item received had a different presentation than the picture shown; instead of a bag holding everything together, we got a basket instead; the two mugs that came were a teal blue instead of the dark blue; one of the chocolate boxes in the very front were bent due to shipping. Overall, looks ok, but would really like to get what I see instead and not be surprised with something different.

Mom was really happy with this gift! She loved the assortment of coffee, tea, and other goodies, but more than that, the tote bag that they came in, can be used for just about anything! The gift was even delivered a day earlier than scheduled! Very happy with this purchase, and will order through Wine Country Gift Baskets again.

Introduction to Hampton, Virginia
Hampton is a Virginia city located on the southeast end of the Virginia Peninsula. It is bounded on the north and east by the Chesapeake Bay and on the south by the Hampton Roads Harbor. The city is situated about 16 miles north of Norfolk, to which it is connected by Interstate I-64. Hampton is served by two airports: the primary area airport is Norfolk International Airport in Norfolk; and the region's secondary airport is Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, located in Newport News.
Widely considered to be one of the nation's earliest settlements, Hampton dates its origins back to the early 1600s. Mainly a quiet trading port before the Civil War, Hampton found itself in the middle of the conflict when the Confederate army, in an attempt to stop Union troops from taking over the town, burned it to the ground in 1861. From the ruins left behind, former slaves who were under a degree of Union protection built the Grand Contraband Camp, the first self-contained African American community in the United States. Hampton achieved its city status in 1952 after a municipal consolidation which resulted in the City of Hampton essentially incorporating the boundaries of the former Elizabeth City County.
Hampton Cultural Attractions
The Hampton area features a wide variety of historical, cultural and recreational attractions. The Hampton University Museum is located on the grounds of one of the oldest African-American universities in the country. The University originated as the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, whose mission was to educate freed black men and women after the Civil War and teach them trades and skills. Also located at the site is the Emancipation Oak, the place where Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was read. Another Hampton landmark is the Virginia Air & Space Center, the official visitor center for NASA's Langley Research Center. Here visitors can see the Apollo 12 Command Capsule that journeyed to the moon, experience a state-of-the-art virtual-reality video on the pioneers of flying, and much more. The Hampton History Museum, located in historic downtown, tells the storied history of Hampton. Costumed interpreters are on-hand to help visitors understand the significance and context of the exhibits. Also located downtown is The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center, a 1925 structure which served as Hampton's public library for over 60 years. After careful renovation and restoration, the building now presents changing exhibitions of the best of local, regional, and national artists. And no Hampton attraction is more significant than the Casemate Museum at Fort Monroe (the largest stone fort ever built in the United States). The Museum chronicles the Fort's role during the Civil War and contains the cell in which Confederate President Jefferson Davis was imprisoned.
Fans of NCAA Division I collegiate athletics have teams in town to root for. The Hampton University Pirates compete in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), in which their teams have won titles in many sports, including football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's track, and men's and women's tennis. Hampton also has a professional sports team, soccer's Hampton Roads Piranhas who compete in the United Soccer League's Premier Development League (PDL). Nearby Norfolk is home to the Tides, a minor-league AAA baseball affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles; and also to the American Hockey League's Norfolk Admirals, a farm team of the Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL.

If you or a loved one in Hampton has been struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, chances are you feel helpless and do not even know where to begin to look for a viable solution. We know what you are going through and our compassionate staff can help you through every step in the process of finding a Hampton drug or alcohol treatment.
Quality Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Centers are available in and around Hampton, VA., but you will need help in knowing exactly where to look for treatment. We will help you to know what questions to ask; the most important thing that you should inquire about is the long term success rate of the Hampton Alcohol Rehab or Drug Treatment Program. By the time an individual from Hampton, Virginia is ready to get help for their drug or alcohol addiction, they may have already experienced many negative consequences in relation to this toxic lifestyle. Their relatives in Hampton may have finally come to a place where they could no longer watch the addict self destruct because of their drug or alcohol addiction.
The reason it is so important to have assistance in choosing an Alcohol Rehab or Drug Rehabilitation Center is that there is such a wide array of options in and around Hampton, Virginia. These drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment options in Hampton, Virginia may include Long-term Rehabs, Outpatient Drug Rehabs, Short-term Drug Rehabilitation, Inpatient Rehabs, halfway houses, support group meetings and individual or group drug counseling. Our number one goal is to help you to sort through all of these drug and alcohol rehab options and to help you to find the perfect fit in treatment for you or your loved one in Hampton.
A quality Hampton Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehabilitation Program will address the physical and the psychological aspects of the drug or alcohol addiction. The first step in the Hampton treatment program is the detox; this process will help to rid the body of the toxins that have accumulated during the drug or alcohol addiction. The reason it is so important for an individual from Hampton, Virginia to have professional assistance during this process is because the staff at the Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehabilitation Center can help to alleviate many of the associated withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms occur during detox because the individual from Hampton used drugs or alcohol consistently and the brain has adapted to the presence of the substance; after a period of time, an individual will have to increase the dosages in order to experience the same effects. This occurs as the individual from Hampton develops a tolerance to alcohol or various types of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, or cocaine. Depending on the type of drug an individual from Hampton, Virginia has been addicted to and the length of the addiction, it could be a long time before the body is able to function normally in the absence of the substance.
The way that a Drug Rehab or Alcohol Treatment Center in Hampton, VA. addresses the psychological aspect of the drug or alcohol addiction is generally through some type of counseling or group sessions; relapse prevention is also addressed during treatment. The main objective in utilizing all of these different elements of treatment is to help the individual to return home to Hampton after completing the Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Program and be able to live successfully, while remaining sober.
An individual from Hampton, Virginia that wants to recover from a drug or alcohol addiction, will need to relearn many of the skills that came naturally to them before they started to abuse drugs or alcohol. By the time many individuals from Hampton get to treatment, they may not even be able to remember the last time that they interacted socially with others while sober; at the Drug Rehab or Alcohol Treatment Facility, they will learn how to, once again, relate to others without the use of drugs or alcohol. Individuals from Hampton, VA. that attends treatment should be educated in drug relapse prevention techniques; they will learn how to deal with the familiar triggers that they may come into contact with upon returning home. A Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Rehab Program will teach the individual from Hampton how to respond to these triggers without using drugs or alcohol.
Because of the way drugs and alcohol affect the various functions of the brain, most people from Hampton, Virginia that try to stop using drugs on their own, will be fighting a losing battle. By the time an individual from Hampton finally succumbs to an Alcohol Rehabilitation or Drug Rehab Facility, they have probably experienced failure in this area numerous times. Many times, this is the reason that the individual from Hampton is able to recognize that they need professional help.
Getting Help
Getting help is the easiest part, just dial toll free 1-888-852-5869, so that you can speak to a registered addiction specialist or simply fill out the Hampton, Virginia Drug Rehab or Alcohol Rehabilitation Program request form and a counselor will contact you shortly. Don't wait, call right now, you will be so glad that you did.

also do i need to put where it actually forms?
Feb 01, 2011 at 06:25 PM lolage
I have found the error. At the end of the script above the "if statement" There you declared a variable(var) but you had also declared it at the top. I assume that Unity did not like that. I will update the script :)
Feb 01, 2011 at 07:27 PM OrangeLightning
That'll cause null ref exceptions every time after the first instantiation
Feb 02, 2011 at 01:29 AM Mike 3
This should fix it:
First change is that it needs to use if, not function, to check if the key is down
Second is that you need to assign the Instantiate to the Bullet prefab so you can use it after
Third is that you need to Instantiate bullitPrefab, not Bullet (which is completely empty still)

It doesnt seem to work :( firstly i see that it says expectin } found " on 17,1. Secondly do i need to change the word bullit prefab to my bullet and thirdly do i attach it to the actual character?
Feb 01, 2011 at 05:47 PM lolage
ok so i filled the bullit prefab and thats ok, all i need to know now is why it wont actually run because of the "expecting } found " on 17,1."
Feb 01, 2011 at 05:59 PM lolage
You may want to edit your question with the entire code. Replacing from var Bullet : Transform up until the first } with my code should have fixed it

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2005 To those who advocate a speedy withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, Vice President Dick Cheney posed two questions today.
Would the United States and other free nations be better or worse off with terrorists like Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi running Iraq? And would the United States be more or less safe with Iraq ruled by extremists intent on its destruction?
Cheney, speaking at the American Enterprise Institute here, warned against what he called "self-defeating pessimism" that overlooks solid progress being made in Iraq while advocating a prompt withdrawal of U.S. troops there.
"Coalition forces are making decisive strikes against terrorist strongholds, and more and more they are doing so with Iraqi forces at their side," Cheney said. He noted that nine Iraqi army battalions are fighting alongside U.S. forces.
The vice president cited political progress, as well, with the upcoming election of a new Iraqi government under the new constitution. "Day after day, Iraqis are proving their determination to live in freedom, to chart their own destiny and to defend their own country," he said.
Now, when so much progress is being made, is no time to turn tail and leave Iraq, Cheney said.
"It is a dangerous illusion to suppose that another retreat by the civilized world would satisfy the appetite of the terrorists and get them to leave us alone," he said. In fact, such a move would only embolden the terrorists, he said.
"A precipitous withdrawal from Iraq would be a victory for the terrorists, an invitation to further the violence against free nations and a terrible blow to the future security of the United States of America," he said.
The vice president called debate over U.S. operations in Iraq a sign of a healthy democracy and acknowledged that questions of national security evoke strong opinions on both sides of the issue.
"Nobody is saying we should not be having this discussion or that you cannot re-examine a decision made by the president and the Congress some years ago," he said. "To the contrary, I believe it is critical that we continue to remind ourselves why this nation took action and why Iraq is the central front in the war on terror and why we have a duty to persevere."
Cheney said he disagrees with those who think it's in America's best interest to leave Iraq now. But he had harsher terms for those who charge that U.S. leaders intentionally misled the American people about prewar intelligence, calling them "revisionists of the most shameless and corrupt kind."
The United States entered the war in Iraq based on the best information known at the time and with broad-based bipartisan support, Cheney said. With the hindsight of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, waiting for enemies to attack yet again before going on the offensive would have been "suicide," he said.
Those who argue that the United States "stirred up a hornet's nest" by entering Iraq overlook the basic fact that the United States was not in Iraq on Sept. 11, 2001, Cheney said.
"And the terrorists hit us anyway," he said. "The reality is that terrorists were at war with our country long before the liberation of Iraq and long before the attacks of 9/11."
For too long, the U.S. failure to act gave terrorists the mistaken belief that they attack Americans and get away with it, Cheney said. So now, when the United States is striking back, terrorists are testing U.S. resolve, he said.
The vice president praised U.S. troops who he said overlook political squabbles at home as they fight in Iraq, Afghanistan and other fronts in the war on terror.
"They haven't wavered in the slightest, and their conduct should make all Americans proud," Cheney said of the troops. "They are absolutely relentless in their duties and they are carrying out their mission with all the skill and the honor we expect of them."
Cheney affirmed U.S. commitment to its troops and to winning the war on terror.
"The people who serve in uniform and their families can be certain that their cause is right and just and necessary," he said. "And we will stand behind them with pride and without wavering until the day of victory," he said.
Similarly, Cheney said the United States will keep its commitment to the Iraqis.
"Our forces will keep going after the terrorists and continue training the Iraqi military so that Iraqis can eventually take the lead in their country's security and our men and women can come home," he said.
"We will succeed in this mission, and when it is concluded, we will be a safer nation."
