Greensburg police offer community alerts, drug disposal bins
Greensburg residents can get alerts about emergency situations in the city via cellphones or email accounts.
And, in another program, they can dispose of unwanted prescriptions medicines at the city police station.
By going to www.nixle.com, residents can register for such information as city road closures, police situations, vehicle accidents and alerts about missing children and lost Alzheimer's patients, police chief Walter "Wally" Lyons said.
"When there's any emergency, notifications will be sent out by the city," Lyons said. "It's things that we want the community to be aware of."
A link has also been added to the city website at www.greensburgpa.org to help people find the Nixle site, City Administrator Sue Trout said.
To register, go to either website and follow the directions. Applicants can sign up and receive information through ZIP code, city or other options.
After signing up, applicants will receive a notice from Nixle Connect.
"For a variety of reasons, in emergency situations it is important the municipality can connect with the citizens," Lyons said.
"We've been looking for some program to give emergency notifications to the community, and this program is free to the municipality and the (residents)," he said.
Nixle was organized in January 2007. More than 4,000 municipalities have been certified to use the service since Nixle began offering connections in 2009, according to the company's website.
The company's site lists answers to frequently asked questions for potential Nixle users.
With the drug drop-off program, people can bring unwanted prescriptions to a bin in the side entrance to the police department.
The Westmoreland County District Attorney's office, the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association and police are involved in the cooperative effort.
The intent is to get potentially harmful medications, such as pain medicines, out of the hands of children, drug abusers and others, officials said.
"This gives the community the 24/7 ability to dispose of unwanted drugs at the Greensburg police department," Lyons said.
About two-thirds of the 92 people who died from drug overdoses in the county in 2013 succumbed because of prescription drug abuse, according to the county coroner's office.
Other police departments in Westmoreland County have or will be putting up the medicine-disposal receptacles.
Greensburg will continue to take part in the periodic Drug Take Back Initiative sponsored by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, Lyons said.
Greensburg police collected several trash bags filled with medication in the last Take Back program sponsored by the DEA, Lyons said.
"There are a lot of prescription drugs out there that people got for some injury, or old pain medicine that has been out there for years," Lyons said.

Dell ships 27-inch display using iMac's panel
updated 10:50 am EST, Wed February 10, 2010
Dell UltraSharp U2711 hits 2560x1440
Dell today began shipping a new range-topping display teased at CES. The UltraSharp U2711 is one of the first outside of Apple to use the 27-inch LCD found in the iMac and gets the same 2560x1440 resolution as well as its pro-friendly color accuracy. With 12-bit internal processing and an IPS panel, the U2711 can cover 100 percent of the sRGB color space and 96 percent of Adobe RGB.
Its contrast ratio is also high, at 80,000:1, and is mated to a wide 178-degree viewing angle. Unlike Apple, Dell uses a matte finish that cuts back on glare.
As a stand-alone display, the Dell offering has much more room for input than the iMac and carries two dual-link DVI inputs as well as one each of DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, component and RCA. Four USB ports and a multi-format card reader top off its expansion.
Dell's pricing provides a minor clue as to the cost of the screen by itself as the new UltraSharp costs $1,099.
We had an opportunity to see the display at CES and can vouch for its image quality, although its design is tellingly about as large as the entire Apple system.

Review: Quantum tweaks a classic with 'Fat Beckett'
Brainy theater critics and academics have long regaled us with the idea that Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" is really very funny.
But, most productions prefer to emphasize the more dour and philosophical side of two men waiting at a crossroads, beneath a barren tree for someone -- or maybe something -- that never arrives.
Irish theater critic Vivian Mercier has famously described it as "a play where nothing happens, twice."
It took two women -- Gab Cody in collaboration with Rita Reis -- plus director Sam Turich and Quantum Theatre to finally bring the humor of the play to the forefront.
To be clear, "Fat Beckett," which plays through Dec. 18 at a decaying former schoolhouse in Lawrenceville, is not a production of Beckett's classic. The Beckett estate tightly controls production rights and would never sanction female performers, nor would they allow the liberties that Cody and Reis take with the text.
"Fat Beckett" is Reis and Cody's colorful and very funny feminist response to Beckett's classic.
The setting makes that clear from the outset. Paper lanterns decorate the production's iconic bare and broken tree and the two characters -- Sophie (Cody) and Kiki (Reis) -- set the evening's tone by delivering an amusing introduction engagingly performed in both French and English.
A shadow play illustrates the back story. Sophie and Kiki have lost their beloved goat, Biquette.
Rather than wait by the crossroads as Vladimir and Estragon do, Kiki and Sophie set out to find her, armed with a carrying case of profiterole pastries.
It's likely no accident that the goat's name sounds a lot like the playwright whose work they are riffing on.
The creators' program note explains that their creative journey was an attempt to find an existential clowning piece for themselves in the male-dominated world of comedy.
Cody serves as the leader and necessary dignified foil to Reis' rich off-the wall comedy.
As they journey on foot and by plane, dragging their tree with them, they employ an abundance of satire, physical comedy and wordplay as well as a subtle, but omnipresent, female perspective.
Quantum Theatre provides an apt performance space that offers depth and atmosphere for the proceedings. Black streaks on white ceramic-tiled walls, a rust-encrusted tin ceiling and a string of white light bulbs enhance the feel of the original "Waiting for Godot."
Lighting designer Scott Nelson and scenic and costume designer Kellan Andersen provide low-key enhancements to that atmosphere and some comedic tweaks of their own.
Quantum regulars will appreciate the supportive heating system that keeps the space toasty for almost the entire performance.
Serious Beckett scholars may have a field day teasing out obscure parallels and references to Beckett and the original.
But, those with a more casual acquaintance with the work should enjoy this 75-minute intermission-free experience if they give themselves up to the comedy and allow the existential meanings to surface on their own.Additional Information:
'Fat Beckett'
Produced by: Quantum Theatre
When: Through Dec. 18 at 8 p.m. Wednesdays-Saturdays and 7 p.m. Sundays
Admission: $35-$48; $18 for students with ID
Where: Old Schoolhouse, 4830 Hatfield St., Lawrenceville

A group of Chilean men were just recently pulled out of a mine creating quite a media parade. Now a group of Chilean women have willingly entered a mine in protest. If a group of men can gain global attention from being in a mine, so can women. At least, that's the approach. From BBC News:
Thirty-three women in Chile have shut themselves in a mine after a government jobs programme that helped the victims of last February's earthquake ended.
The women, in an echo of the story of the 33 trapped and then rescued miners, went into a former coal mine 500km (300 miles) south of Santiago.
"We've done many things to be taken into account but the government hasn't listened to us," a spokeswoman said.
The rescue of the miners made headlines around the world.
The women were part of an emergency works programme generating jobs at one point for some 12,000 people in regions seriously affected by February's devastating earthquake.

We had a great showing in the 2012 MS QSO party!
The logs for the 2012 Mississippi QSO Party have been checked. This has become quite a chore seeing that after the first Mississippi QSO Party in 2003 37 logs were submitted and this year it was 110. The MSQP is no longer one of the 'smaller' QSO Parties. The top ten in Mississippi were AG5Z, K5DWI, NA5DX, K2FF, W5UE, AE5BR, AE5YB, WQ5L, N5GD, and K5IJ. The top mobiles were W4SIG, N5NA, W3DYA, K4ZGB, W4OQG, K5WBM, AE5SK, and WB4CHH. The top portables were W5GWB (Chickasaw ARC) operating from Tunica County, W5OBM (Olive Branch ARC) from Benton County, and N5VI from Sharkey, Humphreys, and Yazoo Counties. Outside of Mississippi the top scores were from NT2A (NY), N6MU (CA), KV8Q (OH), K9WA (IL), and W8WVU (MI).
The logs indicate that 122 Mississippi Stations were on the air in 80 of the 82 Counties. An initial scan of the logs received by March 30 indicated that all 82 counties were on the air, but the follow on log check indicated that Jefferson Davis and Lawrence were not on the air. Thanks to N5NA for coordinating mobile routes with his website such that there were not very many county overlaps. NT2A worked a remarkable 65 of the 80 Counties on the air. A special tip of the hat to the hard working mobiles/portables, who put 72 counties on the air with 4,993 QSOs.
AG5Z, W4SIG, W5GWD, and NT2A will all receive plaques for their first place finish in their respective categories. The complete results should be posted on the Section Web Site by mid- August and certificates should be in the mail by mid-September.

Five thoughts: Texas Tech thrashes Texas State, 58-10
SAN MARCOS, Texas — Texas Tech defeated Texas State, 58-10, Saturday in the Bobcats home-opener in a highly renovated stadium.
Texas State set a new stadium record with 33,006 fans in attendance up from a 16,300 record set back in the early 1980s, but the Red Raiders were able to drive most of the Bobcat fans out of the stadium by the end of the third quarter.
Here are five storylines from the game:
1. Texas Tech was madder than they appeared
Strong side linebacker Terrance Bullitt said the Red Raiders were upset with some of the Texas State players for how they acted leading up to the game.
Texas State had 10 AP Poll votes to Texas Tech's 0 and the Bobcats won arguably the biggest game in school history last week against Houston on the road.
Texas State came in with a lot of confidence.
"It didn't matter who was going to be out there," Bullitt said. "All the smack they talked all week. They were disrespectful to us and we didn't say anything all week, but now that we won and we showed them — We're in the Big 12 so if you're going to play against us you better put your big boy pants on."
2. It was over when…
It was over when sophomore tight end and receiver Jace Amaro caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege for a 35-7 Texas Tech lead with 9:24 remaining in the first half.
The Red Raiders, up 28-0, gave up a touchdown to Texas State's Terrence Franks a minute and a half before and responded with a four-play, 65-yard drive right after it to take back any momentum the Bobcats had gained with their touchdown.
3. Not the best start
Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege was way off on his first drive of the night.
Texas State deferred to receive until the second half which gave the Red Raiders a chance to take the crowd out of the game early. They failed.
The Bobcats gave Texas Tech a gift with a pass interference penalty on the first play from the line of scrimmage which moved the Red Raiders from their own 27-yard line to their own 42-yard line.
After the pass interference call, Doege missed two receivers and got some help from Javon Bell on a nine-yard reception to bring up fourth and one from the Texas State 49-yard line. Texas Tech attempted a reverse, Javon Bell fumbled a bad handoff and Texas State got their opening drive at the Texas Tech 46-yard line.
4. Davis saves the day
Immediately following the early Texas Tech fumble, Texas State started driving. To the 40-yard line, to the 38-yard line to the 28-yard line.
The Texas State crowd was into the game. Texas Tech had done exactly what it could not afford to do on its opening drive if it wanted to pull away in the game early.
Enter Texas Tech free safety Cody Davis who picked off Texas State quarterback Shaun Rutherford at the Texas Tech 12-yard line and returned it all the way behind 10 defenders turned blockers for a Red Raider touchdown.
On the following kickoff, from the 20-yard line because Davis drew a celebration penalty, Texas Tech kicker Kramer Fyfe kicked the ball to the Texas State 39-yard line where it went unfielded, bounced and rolled back toward the Red Raiders who recovered it. Four plays later it was 14-0 Texas Tech.
5. Solid game defensively
It wasn't the 84-yard game Texas Tech held Northwestern State to a week ago, but a still-developing Red Raider defense held Texas State to 270 total yards and 16 first downs and forced five Bobcat punts.
The game was a step in the right direction for Texas Tech considering how badly they struggled against the Bobcats' option run game in a come-from-behind win last season.
**Stat of the Night**
Doege completed 25-of-32 passes for 319 yards and five touchdowns.
With the five touchdowns, Doege surpassed Ron Reeves (31), Cody Hodges (33) and Sonny Cumbie (33). Doege now has 35 career touchdown passes.

ALLEN ANDERSON: Studies: Consuming soda daily is clearly a health hazard
SAN ANGELO, Texas - High-fructose corn syrup is not good for you despite the well-intentioned but misinformed remarks by Kathy Aycock, Tom Green County Extension agent, who, in an article Saturday headlined "High-fructose corn syrup may not be that bad after all," gave it a clean bill of health.
In fact, America's love affair with high-fructose corn syrup and other sugars led the American Heart Association to issue a new scientific statement on Dietary Sugars Intake and Cardiovascular Health. The association cited the "worldwide pandemic of obesity and cardiovascular disease" in explaining its "heightened concerns about the adverse effects of excessive consumption of sugars."
"Added sugars have become such a predominant feature of the American diet, the average person swallows 350 to 475 calories' worth of sugar each day," says Linda Van Horn, professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. No adult, except perhaps Michael Phelps, can afford these extra calories.
Added sugars include high-fructose corn syrup, ordinary table sugar, honey, agave syrup and other sweeteners with calories. Especially distressing is that "we are eating 20 percent more added sugars now than we did in 1970," says Rachel Johnson, professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont, who chaired the Heart Association's statement.
Soft drinks, soft drinks and more soft drinks are responsible for the leap in sugar intake. When you give people sugar-laden liquid such as soda before a meal they don't compensate by eating less at the meal. In a classic study at Purdue University, researchers gave 15 young adults 450 calories of sugar each day either as a liquid (soda) or as a solid (jelly beans).
After one month on the jelly beans the volunteers compensated by eating less other food so they gained no weight. The group on the soft drinks ate more solid food than before, which resulted in weight gain.
In 1965, Americans received 12 percent of their calories from beverages. In 2001 beverages accounted for 21 percent.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Americans consume close to 57 gallons of soda per person per year. High-fructose corn syrup, in the form of soda, has become the No. 1 source of calories in the United States, and it is clear that it is the primary cause of the obesity epidemic.
In one independent, peer-reviewed study published in the British medical journal The Lancet, a strong link was demonstrated between soda consumption and childhood obesity.
Just one extra can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a single year.
Fructose, as opposed to glucose, is metabolized only by the liver. The enzyme fructo kinose breaks fructose down where it is stored as fatty acids. Waste products produced include large amounts of uric acid, which drives up blood pressure and causes gout. Glucose, however, is metabolized by the liver and the brain into energy.
Likewise, it's the difference in how your body responds to fructose that also makes it the leading cause of obesity. Whereas glucose suppresses the hunger hormone ghrelin and stimulates leptin, the hormone that tells you you're full, fructose has no effect on ghrelin and over time blocks the leptin signal to the brain, so you keep eating.
Last, but certainly not least, fructose clearly raises your insulin levels. Increased insulin levels lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes. Plus, there is an increased incidence of various forms of cancer, including breast, throat and colon cancers associated with increased insulin levels.
Consuming soda daily is clearly a health hazard. We are in a state of denial similar to when early reports on the hazards of smoking came out. No one wanted to believe the truth.

Paul Murnane
Paul Murnane has been running around the streets of New York City with a microphone as a reporter since 1988.
Paul jokes of his knack for finding urban catastrophe. "Water mains and subway derailments seem to wait for me" he says. Over the years, he says, he has lost countless shoes, socks and pieces of radio gear in floods, fires, and storms in the tri-state area.
He also has a knack for finding the perfect piece of tape. Name the story, and Paul will somehow find someone, somewhere, to say something quirky and interesting about it.
Paul also has covered many stories far less routine such as the crash of TWA Flight 800, the execution of a convicted killer in Oklahoma, the Blizzard of 1996. He was on the scene and on the air within minutes after a gunman's rampage on the observation deck at The Empire State Building, leading a producer back at the station to note that Paul is just one of those reporters you always hope will be on duty when a big story breaks.
Paul's voice has been heard on radio stations in Hartford and Boston in the course of a 20 year career. He came to WCBS in 1994.
Paul has won awards for his work over the years from The New York Press Club and The Associated Press.

Deculture is the new moé!!
Kira ☆ Kira ☆- DECULTURE!!!
These days I seldom have time to write, much less watch anime. Yet, Macross Frontier 「マクロス フロンティア」is THE SERIES of this year that I have to follow. This is a series engineered to appeal to otakus across all generations – its made for otaku family viewing. Afterall, the etymology of the term "otaku" traces its way back to Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, the first TV series.
Fan Service
There is nothing about Macross Frontier that is not fan service – whether if it's the story or concept designs. This new TV series bring Macross back to its 1980s roots, yet still making references to previous incarnations, such the various OVA spin-offs and Macross 7. In a nutshell, its a Bollywood-style anime less than choreographed mass dance. It's a science-fiction romance musical with (mecha) action set against the backdrop of interspecies/galactic warfare.
For Macross Frontier, the producers have upped the Otaku-quotient by throwing in elements that will win fans from all gender and age-groups. Compared to the previous instalments of Macross, Frontier is the series that has the most concentrated fangirl appeal. It's a buffet spread of characters that will appeal to all kind of fetishes:
We all know that Alto Saotome is supposed to be a bishonen, but Brera Stern takes the cupcake…
MAJ Brera Stern
He is the bishonen that's easy for the fangirls to love and for the rest of us to loathe. You need one of this kind of characters that you love to hate for the right reason – the Char Aznable wannabe sunshades (and WTF, this thing holds the rank of MAJOR!!! I wonder how many d**ks did he suck to get to that promotion…), the hair, the poseur cool…and let's not mention his blue eye shadow make-up, visible when he removes the shades. And what's up with the ultra low neckline, with the slit down to 'there'. It's really really bad-taste gayboy fashion. But hey, the fujyoshis will love that like how the rest of us love Ikki Tousen and Tenjo Tenge. And hey, he pilots a maroon coloured variable fighter. DECULTURE!!!!
And the other kind of boy that will be turned into yaoi fodder – the 'shota'.
Luca Angelloni, the pasta shota who love to wear shorts
The forever rosy cheek, pink haired boy who always wear shorts is the shotaro for this series. I don't think a shota ever appeared in any of the preceding makes of Macross. DECULTURE!!!!
And then there's those characters who wear glasses:
Michael Blanc and Nanase Matsuura
There's Michael Blanc, the guy who plays Maximilian Jenius (Max Sterling) in this series. And then there's Nanase Matsuura, the meganekko (chick with glasses) with illegal-size tits. Why is it that all characters named Nanase always have amazingly huge tits. Both of them look like they are lifted from an eroge. DECULTURE!!!
Something like this could happen – depending on how you contextualise the situation.
Boy Love
Brotherly love.
And even greater fan(boy) service – GIGANTIC TITS. Yes, literally giant sized mammaries. YAKK DECULTURE!!!!
You can even see the nipples.
Those pair of boobs belong to Zentradi (Meltrandi?) warrior Klan Klan.
Klan Klan, the Zentradi/Meltrandi
But her appeal is greater than the size of those assets. In this series, Klan Klan is the mahou shojo (transforming magical girl), albeit a reverse one. Instead of transforming a sailor-suit fighter, Klan Klan transforms from an Amazonian Titan into a chibified nymph. The transformation process in this context is called 'Micronisation'
Nudity is mandatory in transformation scenes.
I can't imagine taking orders from a lolita…
Chibi Klan Klan
But since Zentradi are deculturally otakus, many who might be lolicon (you'll see that in a while)…I guess this works. DECULTURE!!!
This was one of the most YAKK DECULTURE (wtf?!!?!) moment – this was an episode written specially for fangirls – episode 11, in which Alto's senpai from the theatrical academy dropped by for a visit. Yaoi Love scenes. Yaoi is love. DECULTURE!!!!
Boy Love. Yaoi is Love.
Their conversation was dripping with innuendo that would make fangirls nosebleed.
Senpai:" I have something to give you" "Stop Lying!" "…I was certain you cannot stop acting." "Even though you still continue to act now.." "Even now you are intoxicated with that trite role" "Stop pretending now" "No matter how much I devote myself, you have that which I can never attain…blood"
But there's stuff for the fanboys too. Listen to Alto and Sheryl talk dirty…
Talk Dirty
Sheryl: "This how it felt like the first time we did this, isn't it"
Alto: "It's about time we head back. Are you satisfied yet?"
Sheryl: "Not at all. This hasn't been nearly enough yet."
And then the virginal, mono-sexual otaku horde goes wild.
Massive Nosebleed. DECULTURE!!!
The Zentradi, I believe, is the otaku army. They don't look different from those you see dancing outside shops in Akihabara, before the flatscreen TV displays, dancing to the steps of the virtual idols from THE iDOLM@STER.
Ranka Lee says,"Thou shalt not worship false idols"
Ranka Lee says,"Thou shalt not worship false idols". Now Ranka Lee's sparkling (kira-kira) I-Love-You gesture made it to the latest round of Internet meme.
俺の キラッ☆ フォルダが火を噴くぜ!
For long time fans of Macross, and also those whose childhood memories include Macross, Frontier pays homage to the original series in many ways – such as 'encore' appearances of familiar character types and relationships (I've placed the characters' Robotech names in parentheses for those more familiar with their American incarnation):
MAJ Ohgothwai and aide
MAJ Ohgothwai and aide is the carbon copy for Vrlitwhai Kridanik (Breetai) and Exsedol Folmo (Exedor) pair in the old school Macross series. And don't Zentradi names sound cool? They sound like Mongolians from the days of Genghis Khan.
And MAJOR is such a sexy military rank….
Tehmzin is Quamzin Kravshera (Khyron)'s reincarnation. I wonder if he's really dead after that encounter with Alto. I hope to see the re-interpretation of the badass bitch consort, Lap Lamiz (Azonia)
And here's the Misa Hayase (Lisa Hayes)-Claudia LaSalle (Claudia Grant) pair on the bridge.
Boby Margot and Cathy Glass
Except that Claudia LaSalle has now become the queen Boby Margot. And I don't think Boby is getting it on with Ozman, the Roy Focker (Roy Fokker) for this series.
And what's a show without some lovers' tiff.
The Human-Zentraedi/Meltrandi romance between Michael and Klan Klan is just like Maximilian Jenius (Max Sterling) and Milia Fallyna (Miriya Parina).
And a meido somehow crept into the mix.
I swore that Alto said "MOE?" in this scene.
And is the following a reference to Densha Otoko…?
Richard Bilrer – Tetsudo/Densha Otoko?
The boss of the private military contractor SMS (Strategic Military Service), Richard Bilrer, is a Zentradi railway otaku. While speaking of his dream of an intergalactic utopia, the room melts away into a omni-theatre experience, putting Alto in a Galaxy Express 999 situation.
Macross Express 999
This is definitely something for the old timers.
It's inevitable that genre fans will compare the current incarnation of Macross with Gundam. While both are made to appeal to a broad spectrum of fans, especially the female species – Macross Frontier does it more blatantly than Gundam OO.
In terms of narrative, Gundam OO trumps Macross Frontier. It has a tighter script, drama and theme. Comparatively, the conflict in Macross Frontier appear to be more like an afterthought – the campus drama appears to be more central than war between human/zentradi and the Vajra hive. The students/fighter pilots appear to be emotionally detached from the war, and they can so easily slip in between their roles without dissonance. You don't see their conviction or motivation of wanting to fight. Why bother then?
I doubt any of those following the series knew what was really going on – with all that conspiracy stuff and mystery and I don't think anyone cared. Probably the writers didn't really know how they'd wanted to develop the story either, and are making things up long the way. By the forth episode, no one knew what the conflict was about, and no one understood the motivations of the parties in the conflict. Maybe it doesn't really matter as long as there are opportunities for Sheryl to show off her tits and ass, Alto & Brera preening and looking pretty like peacocks, and Ranka Lee to do her DECULTURE!! stuff.
For purists, Macross Frontier, even with the uneven quality in animation, is Japan's big middle finger to Harmony Gold's "Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles" . And this would be the sweet answer to Harmony Gold's attempt to rip-off Macross from Big West.
Macross Frontier is a good show to watch for the style and the eye candy. This is a series made for fans, so don't watch this series with the expectation for Gundam OO.

Chrome sweet Chrome?
dan tynan on Sep 03 2008 at 6:43 am | Filed under: Cringley, Da Web, Google, Microsoft, Web 2.0
(I really wanted to title this "There's no place like Chrome," but McCracken beat me to it, damn him.)
Google finally enters the browser business (finally fulfilling years of rumors), and you'd think there was nothing else going on in the world — no political conventions starring pistol-packing ex-beauty queens with pregnant teenage daughters, no hurricanes turning the weather over the southeast into the world's biggest daiquiri machine. Nope, nothing but all browsers all the time.
Everyone and their dog is doing back flips trying to review the browser before anyone else. So there's a lot of Chrome out there on the Web today, some of it more polished than others.
But first, a question. Before it made the Chrome beta available, Google felt compelled to publish a comic book describing its many technical wonderments. So: Why is it everyone feels the need to generate comic books to explain things to us? (Or, for that matter, why Hollywood would be dead without Marvel or DC Comics?) Have Americans grown into such dim bulbs that we need pictures to understand anything?
Having watched two weeks of political conventions on TV, I'm thinking the answer might be yes.
Now, the browser. I spent the first 10 minutes using Chrome feeling rather dim myself because I could not locate the friggin' "home" icon. Then I discovered why: Google hid it. You have to go to Chrome's Options menu to turn it on. So it seems the wattage coming out of Google isn't as high as it used to be either.
Otherwise, though, Chrome is amazingly nimble and stable, page loads are lightning fast, and it runs rings around Firefox and IE in terms of system resources. I opened 25 tabs at a time, trying to see when it would hit the wall. It didn't. And total memory usage was still under 100MB, though it's hard to tell exactly since Chrome seems to open separate executables for each tab. That also means if one page crashes, it doesn't take your whole browser with it (at least, theoretically).
I've never managed to open more than 10 tabs or windows inside IE without it bringing my system to its knees. I can do more than 20 in Firefox, but then it starts to waddle like Rosie O'Donnell carrying a 30-pound Butterball between her thighs. So Chrome lives up to the hype in that regard.
Now for the downside. As Infoworld's Paul Venezia notes, it still lacks plug ins for Java and Shockwave. Technologizer's Harry McCracken also notes that Chrome is innovative and impressive, but woefully incomplete: It doesn't support RSS or even the Google Toolbar (hmm, shades of Microsoft there). The always list-happy PC World offers up seven reasons to love Chrome and seven reasons to hate it — with the biggie being #5 on the hate list: by using Chrome, you're handing yet another slice of your privacy over to Google. And once they finally turn evil — fahgeddaboutit.
Of course, Chrome is an early beta that will add plug ins and features over time. I'm sure the warts will also grow more obvious.
Some analysts are saying Chrome is the dagger that will strike Microsoft in the heart. (Though I'm pretty sure you need to kill vampires with a wooden stake.) I think they got the plot right but the characters wrong. If any one is going to get thrown under Google's Chrome wheels, it will be Firefox. Internet Explorer is still protected by Newton's Third Law of User Inertia: As long as it still works, most people will be unmotivated to change. It's why AOL is still around after all these years.
Those who seek alternatives like Firefox will naturally be attracted to the open source Chrome, which bears more than a fair resemblance to it. And Mozilla gets nearly all of its revenues from a search deal with Google. I can't imagine the G-men continuing to do that once Chrome comes out of beta (my prediction: 2012). After that, well, buh-bye Firefox, it's been nice knowin' ya.
Now: When they start selling 2-pound notebooks with just Chrome on them as an OS and everything in the cloud, that's when Microsoft needs to worry. I'd certainly line up to buy one. Wouldn't you?
Is Chrome a Windows killer? Or are we all suffering from browser fatigue? Post your thoughts below or email them to me: himself (at) dantynan (dot) com.
(This post originally appeared on Infoworld's Notes From the Field blog.)

That's the second mention I've read about someone not being able to find the home button – I don't think I've pressed the home button in my browser for at least five years. I just leave the pages I need open and if Firefox crashes or I need to close it, then Session Manager (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324) just picks up where I left off.

Aftermarket Alternators
© Copyright, 2014, R. Fleischer
Note: Read 15-A and 15-B, first!!!
15-A: http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/altcapability.htm
15-B: http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/trbleshootALT.htm
Discussion: (much of this discussion is pertinent to ALL charging systems!!):
Measuring or specifying output in watts is not as simple as it may seem. The simple part is that watts is equal to voltage multiplied by amperes.
Unless the output wattage of the alternator system is specified at a practical usable rated voltage, it is possible for the output voltage to sag from a large load (big headlamp, driving lights, heated clothing, whatever), while at the same time the output current could possibly be high.....OR NOT. If the output voltage was too low to keep the battery fully charged; yet the current availability was high, it is possible for false wattage advertising. What is really important is the real output with a "reasonable and usable" charging voltage at the battery.
You want the battery to remain charged or be recharged quickly after starting the bike or perhaps from long periods of waiting at stop lights... and then riding off. If the battery terminal voltage falls to 12.7 or below whilst on the highway, that is not enough voltage to truly maintain the battery at a full charge. You need a higher charging voltage to enable the battery, due to inefficiencies in the battery chemistry itself, to be FULLY charged. It becomes more critical when doing stop and go riding in, for example, city traffic. At the time you stop where you are going, be it work or home or other, you want the battery to be charged fully.
An aftermarket system should not only have MORE TOTAL REAL WATTS available, but the system should properly maintain the battery under typical operating circumstances. This includes idling for periods of time in stop and go traffic. Even if the voltage sags some at a stop light, the alternator desirably should be capable of fast recharging.
The system should be capable of
handling all the electrical items likely to be in use at the same
time for reasonable periods of time. Idle rpm output, or slightly above idle rpm output,
should be sufficient for normal use, as this is one of the
complaints about the stock system, in stop and go commuting use.
NOTE that the idle rpm of Airhead motorcycles should not be below 900 rpm, no matter what you read elsewhere's, and no matter what alternator, stock or otherwise. I highly recommend a target of 1000 to 1050 rpm for idle rpm, after a full engine warm-up (5 miles or 6 minutes perhaps) at the normal altitude and temperature you ride in. This rpm was selected by me for a variety of factors, including carburetor synchronization, etc.
did a careful installation & testing to evaluate the practicality of the
EnDuraLast system. A known perfect battery was used. The system used light electrical loading &
was allowed to fully charge the battery according to the system
voltage regulation (14.24 in this conversion instance). Then the battery
was loaded
moderately for a while until a known value of battery DEcrease in voltage was noted. At this point the output was measured by starting the engine (which additionally slightly drained the battery), & then
I used, quickly, various rpm during immediate measurements.
That is a simplification of the various tests I did. My method for testing other alternators, whether aftermarket or
stock, is the same, although the voltage noted above might be
different, depending on if a fixed setting, or if it was
adjustable...and if so, if I adjusted it.
The charging characteristics of batteries of different types varies rather a considerable amount. For MOST types of lead-acid batteries, if one applies a voltage of about 12.8, constantly, eventually...and this could take a LONG LONG TIME... the battery would reach nearly full charge and then require very little current, from the charger or system, to maintain that stabilized voltage. For most batteries, 12.8 volts at room temperature is very close to a full charge (but not what is called a higher 'surface charge', which is unimportant here).
Nerdy: If the applied voltage is raised, within reason (not exceeding a maximum value, often nearly 15 volts), the battery will reach the new applied voltage & then the charging current needed to maintain that voltage will be higher than at a lower voltage...that is, the charging current needed will be progressively higher for a stabilized higher voltage. Some battery types are quicker to convert chemically to a full charge. I deem this characteristic relatively UNimportant.
Batteries vary rather WIDELY as to the current needed from the voltage source for any one specific voltage. Generally speaking, a typical 'flooded' type of battery of motorcycle size (I will use the larger motorcycle size, about 28AH, as illustration), will need about 2 or 3 amperes to maintain about 14.1 volts AT the battery TERMINALS. Some Gel and AGM type batteries are quite different.
A more important thing to know is that the battery
REQUIRES higher than 12.8 volts in order for the battery to have
a LONG LIFE....even though at 12.8 volts the battery is likely
nearly fully charged. Battery chemistry is
such that charging to a higher voltage, and THEN backing off
(cutting-back) to a lower stabilizing voltage, is how the best
chargers work. This is for battery chargers you
plug-in from your wall socket; and these very specific types are called Smart
Chargers. This type of charging can lead to a long lived battery. NOTE that SIMPLE chargers will always back off on charging current as the charging battery's terminal voltage rises. This is because the charger has a maximum open circuit voltage. Unfortunately, there are tradeoffs involved with simple chargers. I won't get much into that here, suffice it to say that if the simple charger has a high rated output current, it will taper off less, and could injure the battery if left connected and powered, for long periods of time.
UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF THIS IS HOW THE CHARGING SYSTEM IN THE BIKE operates!!THE ONLY THING THAT TAPERS OFF (or cuts-back) IN THE BIKE'S SYSTEM, IS the maximum voltage, and that there is a small change in charging voltage built into the regulator to deal with the temperature change (ASSUMED to be battery temperature). A battery requires more voltage at lower temperatures. For the regulator at room temperature, the bike's system will try to keep the battery at a high floating charge level, perhaps around 14.2 volts (this could be 13.8-14.7, depending on VR and other things), when the rpm is high enough, assuming enough alternator output capability. As temperature drops, the VR output should increase SLIGHTLY, and vice-versa. A tenth or two tenths of a volt is typical, with maybe another tenth if the temperature is near freezing or somewhat below.
At the time I am updating this article, on October 22nd, 2014, I have still be unable to arrange the testing of the latest EnDuraLast alternator, nor, the latest Omega, therefore testing results are for the original models.
BMW's original VR settings for the
stock bikes is ~13.8 volts. I have always felt that BMW
was WRONG in selecting 13.8 volts but I understand why; which has to do
with water use from the flooded batteries, and some minor other
things. The
Authorities (Police) VR is set higher than the EnDuraLast,
however....nearly 14.5, depending on temperature! Most
voltage regulators have a voltage versus temperature effect,
purposely built-in. This is because the voltage needed to
maintain any given charge percentage on a lead-acid battery will
vary with temperature, AND, the chemical conversion works faster with a slightly higher charging supply voltage, if the battery is COLD. The COLDER the battery, the more
voltage is needed from the system. The voltage regulator,
ideally, is mounted in the same airflow as the battery.
Generally, only a few tenths of a volt is the temperature
compensation, from perhaps 120°F down to perhaps 20°F.....the
typical range of temperatures seen by the battery and VR. Some higher temperatures (and lower) are seen sometimes, and one can add a few tenths of a volt if going lower, subtract a few if going higher. Motorcyclists rarely ride where battery temperature will exceed 140°F (typically from engine heat blown over the battery). Some ride when the thermometer is
below freezing. As the
battery temperature falls towards freezing and below, the battery
has a much more difficult time (it is, at its core, a chemical
reaction device) producing the current needed to start the
engine...which has higher friction due to cold oil and decreased
clearances; and the starter motor is going to pull a lot more
current. The chemical conversion of electricity gets more sluggish, and this is not only in battery delivery of electricity, but in re-charging, hence the higher charging voltage.
STOCK 280 Watt Bosch Alternator:
The following is TRUE ACTUAL USABLE OUTPUT of the stock 280 watt Bosch alternator,
using 3.7 or 2.8 ohm later model rotor; known good connections, wiring, battery, switch, etc.
Output, amperes
|Approximately the point of equilibrium with the stock system drain of lights and ignition
|see above. 5 amperes is available for charging
|MAXIMUM available, battery at 13.5 v, and rising. This is 270 watts. Very slightly more will be available as the voltage rises a bit more.
|watts = voltage multiplied by amperes
NOTE that the stock alternator produces what Bosch specified. Note also that the voltage is a decent value, well above the minimum needed by the battery, to maintain a FULL CHARGE, at maximum output.
The "ORIGINAL" first generation
"400" Omega Alternator, as sold
by Motorrad Elektrik:
Note that there are two sources for the GENUINE Omega Alternators (mfr by Jeff Lee of Emerald Island...very high quality....);
those sources are Motorrad Elektrik and Beemershop.
The tests on the original Omega were not as extensively done as on the EnDuraLast...no temperature, oscilloscope, stress gauges, hot/cold differences, etc. Still, what follows for the early Omega is probably what YOU can actually expect of it.
Testing was with a known accurate ammeter with relatively
short heavy gauge leads in series with the Omega diode board
output. The battery was drained somewhat to begin
with (on purpose); and, a digital voltmeter was placed across the
battery terminals. Readings were taken well before
the battery was fully recharged, with heated grips, accessory
lights, and headlight all turned on. Readings were
repeated with lights off, and also with the battery fully
charged. The "set point" of the VR appeared
to be close to 13.8 volts.
NOTE that the chart below is a summary, and where you see two instances of a higher rpm with lower voltage, that was due to battery charge condition at the instant of measurement, and small deviations from expectations, due to, I think, heating and other effects.
Voltage at battery
Output in amperes
the two 1750 and the two 4000 rpm tests. Note how the wattage varies with the
voltage. I specifically loaded the system in order to get
these readings.
You can see that the battery would be MARGINALLY CHARGED at 4000 rpm if 28 amperes of load was used. This resulted in 354 watts. If the load was DEcreased, the voltage rose to 13.5 volts. That is STILL not enough floating voltage...I'd prefer to see 14 volts or even a bit more. Increasing rpm beyond 5000 did not yield increased output.
If you think about it a bit, you will see how that chart, above, tells you how a manufacturer might 'cheat' on alternator wattage output rating......or, conversely, you would know that you do not want to use excessive loads at times. But, there is another way to think about this. Even though the voltage might not be high enough at the battery for optimum battery longevity, the battery will still be charged enough!....even at 415.8 watts being put out by the alternator.
NOTE: output might be better if the VR was set higher, the voltage regulator was NOT the adjustable version on this tested bike... and if a fresh battery had been used. Note also, that the ammeter and its leads and connections add a very slight series resistance, and thus would have the effect of moving the output higher up in rpm (although slight). This also applies to the Bosch and EnDuraLast when tested. While voltage multiplied by amperes is how one converts to watts, it is entirely possible, under some circumstances, for a battery not 100% charged, to have a lesser or greater current input at a particular terminal voltage....and as such, the USABLE system wattage is a bit difficult to interpret to the layperson.
It is interesting to compare these figures with the stock Bosch system. While it is possible that there are some anomalies present that I did not go into, especially noted is that the stock Bosch equipped bike I tested had perfect electrical connections, etc.....still, the Omega output seemed low at low rpm, and then rapidly overcame the stock system as rpm into the cruising area was attained. It is very important for some folks to understand that the output of the Omega is ultimately HIGHER than the EnDuraLast.....but that the EnDuraLast has much higher output at truly low rpm....and, thusly, is PROBABLY better for COMMUTERS.
NOTE: The weight of the Omega is nearly identical with
the stock Bosch....differences are so small as to be of no
'new' higher powered '450 watt' Omega:
This unit has a 81 mm rotor (instead of the original Omega's 76 mm) and a larger stator to match.
When tests are run on a 450 system they will be posted here.
SAME, for the EnDuraLast similar to the Omega.
The EnDuraLast Alternator (the original, with the PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR):
The weight of all removed stock Bosch components: diode board, stator, rotor, housing, regulator, some wiring, etc., is 87 ounces; all the EnDuraLast items as installed will weigh almost exactly the same. For the Omega, as noted above, weight is also about the same as the stock Bosch.
Leakage current: under 1.5 MICROamperes, worst conditions.
Rotor diametrical clearance to stator:
0.006-0.008". This can vary some with the components,
as well as the exact fitment of the inner timing chest to the
engine casting, which is adjusted slightly during a timing chain
or other similar R/R job.
Rotor runout, axial: negligible.
Rotor lateral runout (side to side): 0.00075" maximum.
Special note on the EnDuraLast Rectifier/Regulator: In a normal system in a motorcycle, the regulator is USUALLY mounted in an area that allows
some engine heat (comparable to battery temperature in a modest
way), to influence it. In most modern
cars the the regulator is usually PART OF
the alternator ITSELF, and thus as the alternator warms up, the
regulating voltage DEcreases slightly, on purpose, to match
battery temperature characteristics. This is not
necessarily so on this conversion; depending on where the
regulator is mounted, and HOW (it generates heat
internally). However, from my testing
results, the EnDuraLast RR unit is OK
over a normal temperature range.
Note that there have been reports of RR unit failures when high levels of alternator output are consistently used. The RR unit CAN get pretty hot.
EnDuraLast voltage regulator is supposedly internally fixed at about 14-14.26, and hence a
small amount more of the EnDuraLast output is used to
keep the battery charged, once charged, than with the stock voltage regulator setup, this is truly a minor thing.
ACTUAL results for the EnDuraLast:
|Current, Voltage
|6 amperes
|7.5 amperes, 13.12 volts
|8 amperes
|12.5 amperes, 13.39 volts
|15 amperes
|16 amperes
|18 amperes, 14.24 volts
|20 amperes, 12.81 volts
|26.5 amperes, 12.8 volts
I was UNable to obtain more watts, no matter the rpm. Over 3500 rpm was NOT needed. Note that for the otherwise stock motorcycle, no additional electrical loads, the EnDuraLast alternator will maintain a reasonable charge at about 1050-1100 rpm. This means that commuting is no longer an appreciable problem. Note that the EnDuraLast has more usable wattage output at very low rpm, compared to the stock Bosch, or the 400 Omega. However, the Omega has higher absolute maximum output wattage. Note also that the voltages at high watts output is not actually all that much different, and sometimes worse, than the stock 280 watt Bosch. Compare very carefully! The advantage of the EnDuraLast is at low rpm.
***The EnDuraLast is
better for in-city stop and go, than the stock or Omega
alternators. The Omega is better for maximum output, and for maintaining the preferred higher battery voltage AT such a higher output....a DUAL benefit.
It takes about 1850 rpm to start reasonable actual charging on the Omega, with normal ignition and lighting loads. The EnDuraLast is going to do this at around 1150 rpm.
It was noted that the Regulator set point for the EnDuralast that was test, at 84°F, was 14.48-14.50 volts, which is higher than expected, and more to my liking than the Omega. Since the set-point is slightly affected by where the regulator is mounted, due to LEAD LENGTHS between stator and regulator, this voltage may be a bit different, if you have your regulator mounted next to the battery (which is a good place). MY installation was to have the regulator mounted in the fairing air inlet area...where I could control air flow, etc, for my testing.
1981 and later BMW airhead motorcycles; and some earlier models with aftermarket ignitions, are sensitive to electrical noise in the battery supply. That is ONE reason, of several, that the original MECHANICAL VR was changed to an electronic type in 1981. BUT, some electronics, including diodes and a RR regulating transistor, can CREATE high-frequency spiking type of noise. Thus, tests with an dual-trace type of oscilloscope were going to be run on the system; one trace monitoring the battery, and one trace monitoring the ignition pulses.
NOTE: My results did not duplicate the specifications/information on output.
I made some minor changes, eliminating some very TINY voltage drops, that helped some. I have thought about this at some length. I have an IDEA of what may be PART of the problem... this is theoretical. The stator output is via TWO wires, with NO grounding reference. The Rectifier/Regulator unit MUST have a circuit that involves a type of multiple-diode rectifier called a "Bridge Rectifier" .
While a half-wave rectifier could be used, I am 99% sure THAT is not the design....and would be MUCH worse anyway. A property of a two-wire source to a bridge rectifier, is that the IMPEDANCE (nearly the same thing as resistance) of the STATOR and connecting wires from that stator, can be MUCH higher, with little deleterious effect, than the same increase in EFFECTIVE output resistance. THUS, the STATOR wires....the YELLOW wires...can have more resistance in them and still get decent output; but, the RED wires output, and the CASE ground output, will need VERY heavy gauge wires, and negligible voltage drop in connectors and connections. I WAS also able to get a modest improvement (about 1.3 amperes, nearly 18 watts) by simply repairing just the bullet connector of the RED wires. This was reported to the manufacturer, so that the KIT could be upgraded. I think that FURTHER improvement might be possible....by mounting the RR unit next to the battery due to the very short output-side wires possible. As such, my recommendations to the makers of the EnDuraLast was to mount their VR/diode assembly next to the battery, perhaps on the battery box itself....which would be a decent heat sink also. I have not yet tested such an installation...but I anticipate that it could only be an improvement upon mine.
In June, 2015, I had the opportunity to test a permanent magnet type EnDuraLast alternator in a 1995 R100RT. Installation was of the 'new method', with the RR unit mounted on the left rear frame member next to the battery. I made sure all connections, etc., were solid and proper, before I load tested the Odyssey battery, and then ran the battery down a few ampere-hours further, before doing tests. These were simple tests, with a digital voltmeter at the battery; and an ammeter in series with the RR unit's output (by replacing the fuse with jumpers, which were nearly a foot long overall, and not of heavy enough gauge, to give absolute values but adequate for older installations, with some years on them, etc.). These are representative numbers, therefore, for such. If large gauge wires were used, or a clamp-on/over meter, and a more discharge battery, particularly if not an Odyssey, I believe the output would have been higher.
8 amperes output at 900 rpm
10 amperes output at 1000 rpm (and, 12.42 volts)
13 amperes output at 1200 rpm
17 amperes output at 1500 rpm
17.5 amperes output at 1600 rpm
18 amperes output at 1900 rpm
21 amperes output at 2050 rpm
I did a further test as the battery began to recharge, but still was not fully charged.
This test was at 2500 rpm, and I got 19 amperes at 13.95 volts (265 watts)....and, after several minutes, noted the RR unit was getting fairly hot.
I did not try for an absolute maximum wattage output, which would have required discharging the battery again, and this time more considerably.
In the real world, lab tests aside, the
OVERALL best performance from all the various alternators and for
typical usage and conditions..., is LIKELY going to be with battery terminal voltage of about 14.4 volts. When one considers lamps life and battery life (most batteries 'prefer' a terminal voltage under VEHICLE charging conditions of close to 14.4 volts or higher), and many other factors, one PROBABLY should have the VR
set for 14.3 volts for a reasonable compromise. The temperature should be around 68°F for both VR
temperature and BATTERY, for that voltage to be correctly measured. MOST VR's are deliberately designed to increase voltage output when THEY are colder, the assumption being that the battery is also colder. If one
has an adjustable VR, it should be adjusted on a fully charged
battery, with all the accessories turned off, and after only a brief time after engine start, otherwise the temperature of the VR will rise.
It is a waste of time to do voltage measurements, adjustments, etc., unless the battery connections are clean and solid, the diode board push-on connections clean and solid (particularly the large red wire on left side), etc. Solid diode board mountings are needed for the best performance. The bikes that CAME with such mountings are the /5, /6, and the 1978-1987 R65 and R80, and some others...just LOOK at yours. Aftermarket diode boards are available to work with the stock Bosch alternators, but most of my comments still apply.
Reliability is improved, if one has a /5, by using a later, better ventilated, front engine cover.
1. The stock 280 watt Bosch system is adequate for most Airhead riders. If driving lights and heated grips and other accessories are contemplated, one may well be marginal or negative on electricity generation. It depends on how much additional load is being actually used, for how long, and what the average rpm is, peak rpm, and idle time. Very difficult to make a definitive statement, as riders differ in how they ride and use the engine. If you want some estimates for the type of loads and your usage, I can do that for you, upon request.
2. For CITY COMMUTERS with reasonable to high electrical loads who do a lot of very short distance stop and go, you might consider the EnDuraLast over the 400 Omega. For those with similar electrical loads, or higher, but who do mostly open highway riding, the Omega will produce the additional electricity that might be needed. There is no question that the EnDuraLast Permanent Magnet unit is better for in-town short distance stop and go riding.
I may modify recommendations after testing the 450 Omega and other alternators.
The Omega has the maximum output edge.
This means the Omega would be better for those with very large electrical loads
but who are not necessarily city
commuters. I may modify this paragraph after I test the 450 Omega.

Organizational justice theory examines individuals' perceptions of fairness in their employment relationship (Colquitt, Greenberg, & Zapata-Phelan, 2005). The topic of organizational justice has become one of the most popular and most researched areas in the fields of organization and management. In management and organization research, the terms "justice" and "fairness" are often used interchangeably, such as when referring to "organizational justice" and "organizational fairness" perceptions. Organizational justice is an important part of interpersonal relations among people in the workplace. Employees monitor the fairness of processes, outcomes, and interpersonal treatment in their organizations. When employees see that their organization is being fair, then four important individual needs are met for them: the need for belonging, the need for meaning, the need for positive self-regard, and the need for control (Cropanzano, Byrne, Bobocel, & Rupp, 2001). Organizational justice helps (1) fulfill people's desire for important attachments to others in their organizations, (2) bring employees closer together and have a strong sense of pride in their organization, (3) fulfill employees' need for things to be "done right" and with a sense of...

GO JAZZ!! Time to watch our bigs piss off Cousins! That will teach him for not coming to Utah that one Saturday a few weeks ago.
#BelieveInLindsey #BelieveInSnyder
Should be an easy game, Jazz by 8. Just hoping Tyreke doesn't have his breakout match.
If anybody goes that went to the Jimmer game in SLC last year too, I would be curious to hear what the "Jimmer mania" looks like in comparison now from what you remember last year. Or maybe I'll just gauge it by how many people end up bitching in the game thread about guys wearing Jimmer jerseys because I seem to remember a lot of that last year. I'd imagine it has died off a lot though.
Jimmer is the only player on the Kings who can shoot worth a damn. DMC @ 42% oouch!
Quoting stroked79 makes the worst sig.
Is it next Saturday yet? Where DMC runnin?
[size/HUGE] RUDY [/size]
3-wing lineups: NO COMMENT. Jazz need to make a trade: YES
juss too much talent. #cakks&pies
i guess I'm on a confusion crusade
It seemed like last year Evans got into the lane at will against us. Stop him and I think we win the game. I trust Cousins will probably get mad and shoot a ton of ill advised jumpers, so I'm not really worried about him.
In a few years there will be only five kings in the world -- King Cy and the four kings in a pack of cards.
