CHL Game Night: 3/14Submitted by chad on March 15, 2007 - 09:56
Prince George 3 @ Everett 1
In what was basically an exhibition game, the Prince George Cougars got a win in Everett Wednesday night. Both teams, having already secured playoff positioning, sat several of their more prominent players. Vladimir Mihalik played for Prince George and was scoreless and even with a minor hooking penalty. Dane Crowley did not dress for Everett. Crowley was named Star of the Week this week for the Silvertips by the Seattle Times. Crowely had two assists during the two games the team played last week and was strong defensively. The loss by Everett last night marked the first time all season the CHL's No.1 ranked team lost two games in a row. Everett and Crowley will play Spokane in the first round of the WHL playoffs.

TSN: New System for Determining Draft OrderSubmitted by chad on March 13, 2007 - 13:13
Citing various sources, TSN is reporting NHL teams have voted 23-6 (with one abstention) in favor of introducing a ranking system that places a greater emphasis on playoff performance than regular season results.
Under the existing format, non-playoff teams were placed one through 14 with the lowest regular-season point totals getting the higher pick in the draft, subject to the draft lottery which allows the winning non-playoff team to move up as many as four places.
The remaining 16 teams were seeded 15 through 30 based on inverse order of regular-season finish with one exception - the Stanley Cup-winning team automatically received the 30th and final pick of the first round.
The new format will work as follows:

Springfield, Tampa Bay to Terminate Deal?Submitted by chad on March 13, 2007 - 08:36
According to a report in today's Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, despite Springfield Falcons President and General Manager Bruce Landon denying Edmonton rumors at a recent booster club meeting, the newspaper states, "It's widely believed that both sides will agree to terminate the deal, opening the door for Edmonton to align with Springfield and Tampa Bay to move its prospects south to Norfolk."
Landon had informed Falcons boosters the fact the AHL club and Lightning have two years left on their current affiliation deal.
The Times Leader cited a story in Sunday's Edmonton Journal stating the Oilers could announce an affiliation deal with the Springfield Falcons shortly.
The Times Leader reported media sources in both Springfield, Mass., and Edmonton, Alberta, couldn't confirm the Journal report, but the sources said that chances are good that the deal could come to fruition, possibly within the next week.
Springfield has been the Tampa Bay Lightning's AHL affiliate for the past three seasons.
The Falcons are in the midst of their eighth straight losing season.

Linkopings/Lulea Game FourSubmitted by pete on March 12, 2007 - 19:11
Get out the brooms. Linkopings defeated Lulea today 5-2 to complete the first round sweep in the Elitserien playoffs. Lightning prospect Andreas Holmqvist, who led the team in scoring through the first three games of the season, lasted just 3:42 into Game Four before being kicked out for an ultra-rare Swedish league fight with Lulea's Tomas Surovy, formerly of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL ranks. Despite the absence of one of their most potent offensive weapons, Linkopings still managed to win easily and now, along with #1 seed Farjestads which also completed the sweep today in their series, await an opponent to be determined in the second round.

Well, I'm baaack! Sold my straight stocked 336RC last year, and regretted it ever since. So I just picked up a pristine, pre-crossbolt safety, straight stocked 336 Texan ... happy *sigh.* Pics to follow.

My 336
Have a nice collection of handguns but had no rifles. I got my first one yesterday. It belonged to a nice old timer who no longer wanted to keep up with his license. Its a Marlin 336 blued finish in 30-30. I checked the serial number online this morning and its from 1976. Its in really nice shape. Ive wanted a rifle for some time and really craved a nice lever action one. Now if I can only find some ammo to shoot.

Where I live you have to have a license to keep a rifle or shotgun in your home. Sucks doesn't it. The gentleman was getting on and years and no longer was going to use the guns so he was going to let his license lapse.

Well it aint in the old west and it sure isn't Texas. Lol. Lets just say its a large city in the north east(very large) and in the city limits you need a rifle/shotgun permit. As far as the rifle I know the year it was manufactured but Im unsure of what type or wood the stocks are. Not sure if they are walnut, birch or something else. How can you tell? The stocks are dark and smooth.

I haven't measured the barrel. I thought it was 20" The stock isn't that large but as I don't have another 336 to compare it to I wouldn't know if its an overall length the same or shorter than other models.

From another forum(Marlin Forum) I have found that RC stands for regular carbine. Stock is walnut. It doesnt have the cross bolt safety.

SDT First Impressions
336SDT impressions and mini range report (Cross post)
I took custody of the SDT and here are my first impressions.
It looks and feels noticeably more compact, it handles nicely and should be ideal where portability is required. Despite its diminutive size it has the fit and feel of a full sized rifle - no sacrifice of proportion or adjustment of cheek weld or forend grip, the ergonomics are the same as my longer 336's. I haven't weighed it but there doesn't appear to be much of a weight difference between it and the more common 20" variations - I suspect the laminated stocks are heavier than the walnut versions.
My preference is for Blued and Walnut but I will admit to liking the looks of this carbine. The other three guys in the shop were also attracted to it. As a practical matter, it is pretty tough to beat stainless - my 1895GS looks great despite having a lot of hunting mileage on it. The laminated stock looks good (better) paired with the stainless too. The Marauder is a prettier, but I can't complain out this one.
I like the recoil pad on my Guide Gun. I'm not sure I like it or even need it on a 30-30. Wearing a sweatshirt I noticed the pad to be quite grippy. It didn't seem to slow handling much but I did notice a few tugs.
Family Portrait of my 336 collection - Top to bottom: 70's vintage Texan, 60's vintage Saddle Ring, Cowboy, SDT
Cycling the action feels very smooth for a new rifle. Actually all of the Marlins I've purchased new have been good. The trigger feels good - just a hint of creep before breaking and very smooth. Safety and hammer both operate crisp and cleanly.
The Hi-Viz sights are easy for 50 year old eyes to pick up. We'll see how they do at the range, the front bead looks pretty thick for real precision but is a lot more visible. I like the adjustability of the rear sights - small screwdriver instead of a punch and hammer. I believe the green dots will make it easier to get a consistent sight picture too. I'm not sure about the "wide-scan" front sight cover. It has a big cut-out in it to gather light and looks like it will protect the front sight well but I suspect I'll like shooting with it off better.
I tested a variety of ammo to see how it cycled through. 150 & 170 grain Jacketed reloads and factory offerings from Remington all cycled through without a hitch. Even "Buckshot" loads (a '0' buckshot over pistol power) fed and ejected easily from the magazine. The first hiccup from this rifle is using the excellent Ranch Dog 30 caliber bullet - closing the lever the last little bit required some force. Upon ejecting the rounds the bullets showed that they were engraving on the rifling. Bummer as this is a very accurate bullet at a multitude of velocities from my other Marlins and at today's ammo prices the bullet I shoot the most.
Rifling engraving on Ranch Dog bullets after being cycled through the SDT
The weather isn't conducive to shooting paper targets today - rain! rain! rain! so I went to a pards place to do a little indoor shooting in his 25' shop range. The upside is at least I get to do a little shooting and it was dry. The downside short range and a bit on the dark side, we did manage to get the chronograph to work using an electric light though.
I figured a gallery load would be just right for this situation so I used a single 0 buckshot over 3.3grains of Red Dot (all disclaimers apply, use at your own risk). Sitting on the ground using the as delivered sight setting I sent a few down range. The point of impact (POI) was about an inch higher than the point of aim (POA) and shot about a quarter sized five shot group. Next I shot three more at the bull above it and then lowered the rear sight and shot three more.
The chronograph showed a WIDE extreme spread for the eleven shots - low=931, high 1106 with an average of 1034 fps for the string. This load leaves the case necks very sooty. We also had one of those cheapo decibel meters (which probably doesn't work for gun shots) and it registered 99.4 db MAX which is about the same as my Single Six 22lr shoots.
Next up I shot a 3 shot string of the Ranch Dog Bullet over 5 grains of Red Dot. Got 903, 895 and 919 fps. Accuracy on par with the buckshot loads which is promising - I'm sure I'll do better shooting in better light not worrying about shooting a chronograph. The decibel meter recorded a 94.7 max.
Feeling more confident I decided to try a moderate Ranch Dog Bullet Load using 20 grains of AA5744. The load spit out at 1786 fps and knocked our 6" x 12" x 12" block target holder off its stand. The muzzle blast kicked up some sawdust that was on the floor. The POI was over and inch lower than the previous loads. db reading of 100.3.
Not wanting to ruin his target stand I ended my experiment and called it a day. I was glad to make some noise with the new SDT but looks like I'll have to wait until later to try some more loads (including the most excellent and famous PapaJohn load) at longer range.

SDT Range Report
SDT Range Report #2
In a rare appearance the sun was recently seen gracing the skies over the PNW - so I took the SDT to the range for some more experimentation, this is what I learned.
Warning: Load data provided but not guaranteed to be safe in YOUR guns. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK LOAD DATA with reliable manuals.
The short barrel does challenge my aging eyes. The Hi-vis sights are very bright and easy to pick up but thick so precision is difficult (for me anyway).
Started out at 50 yards, sat my butt down and loaded up some Remington 170 grain factory ammo. Managed a three shot group that was just over an inch, 1-3/16" to be exact. I made some sight adjustments to zero the rifle and then fired a few more groups to confirm.
50 yard 170 grain Remington Factory Ammo Groups (I ended up using the mini paper plates because they were easier to see with the big glowing orb on the front sight)
The Remington 170 grain factory ammo averaged 2120 fps over the chronograph. My 20" 336's shoot this 2140 fps. The 24" 336 Cowboy sends them down range at 2200 fps.
Next I tried the reliable "Papa John Load." It's a 150 grain Remington bullet of IMR 4895. The 50 yard accuracy opened up to 1-1/4 - 1-1/2". This could be due to my less than stellar shooting so I'm not writing it off yet. The Velocity averaged 1937 fps which is almost 100 fps less than the 20" 336's and around 150 fps slower than the Cowboy.
I decided to shoot some cast bullet loads - despite the engraving issue. The best load was the Ranch Dog TLC 311-165 RF, 165 grain cast bullet pushed to 1752 fps by 17.5 grains of 2400 with accuracy on par with the PJ load. The velocity was very consistent with an extreme spread of less than 20 fps. This is first rifle caliber I've had that showed any preference for 2400. May have to experiment with this load some more.
Next I tried the AA 5744, 21 grains under the same bullet. It averaged just a hair higher 1756 and had an even narrower extreme spread. Sadly the accuracy stunk - 4" at 50 yards. Yikes!
I finished up at the 50 yard line with the RD bullet over 5 grains of Red Dot. I've mentioned this load a number of times and use it a lot in my other Marlins. The average velocity was 929 fps and the accuracy showed promise though every group I shot had one ugly flier - most likely my fault. The velocity with this load is on par with the longer barreled 336's
Feeling a little more comfortable with the little SDT I posted some targets out at the 100 yard line. There was a fairly good cross wind going which may have effected the groups but I was able to produce some 3 and 4 inch groups with the 170 grain Remington Core-Lokts. Nothing to write home about for sure. I like these sights even less at longer range, they are too bulky to be precise. The bead, while very bright and easy to see looks like an apple underneath a marble (the bullseye) at 100 yards. Consistent alignment is challenging at best.
The recoil pad works great on this little carbine. 30-30 is a pretty easy shooter anyway but this pad makes it rimfire like.
Overall I am pleased. It is a handy packer and would be stellar where shots are close and need to be delivered quickly.

I'm gonna do some searching, but I figured I'd drop a question here too. I noticed my new 336 (replaced the ol' trusty rifle I foolishly sold a few years ago) was having trouble feeding when I cycled ammo through.
Inspecting the cases, I found that the chamber lip was catching on the taper. There was also a small buildup of brass shavings at the lip itself. Feeding the ammo fairly vigorously, I don't have any feed failures, but I really don't like what I'm feeling. Will a simple deburr/polish job on the chamber mouth take care of the problem? Or will it possibly cause issues I'm not thinking of just yet?
EDIT: D'oh... found it. Murphy's Law. As soon as I post the question, I'll find the danged answer.

As OP, I own that I haven't been doing my share to keep the club going.
Work still eats my lunch - no days off in nearly two years.
(Hey, try running an alternative business in a tanked economy, then tell me about it.)
But it's always good to come back here to read about our venerable rifle,
which recently once again moved into the number one place in my kit
(even though it's been a ridiculously long time since I shot it).
Even thinking seriously about selling the 1894C so I can focus on the 336 and 39A
(I want to mod both, and that would help fund those projects, plus feed both).

Well I thought I would add my Marlin 336 Trapper. This was originally in .35 Rem with a 20" tube. I sent it off this last spring to have it rechambered to .356 Win and to have the barrel shortened to 16.25"
It's a nice little package that is quite a stomper in .356 Winchester. It also wears a Lyman 66LA receiver sight. The leather stock piece I made to give me a better sight picture and to protect the stock from bumps while being carried in the field.

I love that trapper.
Is it just me or is there a list as long as my arm of 366's models that we want Marlin to to either start making or bring them back?

Elliott, our sports-minded account executive, joined our ever-growing ranks of loud Packer fans. After managing accounts for a professional indoor soccer league team in San Diego, Elliott split the sports and marketing sides of himself into an account manager who plays a lot of basketball and golf. He joins us from Penn Garritano and brings us his strategic thinking and calm rationality.
When Elliott was a kid, he wanted to be an athlete and have his name changed to Robert Smokestack. We're not sure why he hasn't followed through with the latter. He loves warm weather, the ocean, and cocktails, particularly when they are combined together. Slow drivers in the fast lane send him almost to road rage on a daily basis—our Elliott likes to get things done, and fast.
As an internet marketing analyst, it is satisfying to work in an environment that values research. At A&D, data and insights are at the forefront of every decision, from strategy to implementation.

After Dark used to be in Playboy.
Not that I would expect you to know that ..
Why is the word tar in quotation marks?
Smoking kicks ass.
Have you never looked through an old magazine before?
@2 that implies it doesn't exist
Isn't the Stranger wall-to-wall cigarette ads...?
Wouldn't a cigarette be yelling "Suck me! Suck me!" instead? I don't smoke regularly, and the only cigs I've ever tasted were clove cigarettes. They taste like ham...hmmmm ham...
What a tasty cravat.
Was everyone high on coke yet in 1971, or was this ad the product of psychedelics?
Because it isn't actually tar. It's tar-like.
My ma used to smoke Dorals around this time period.
"After Dark" was a very, very, very gay magazine that was supposed to be covering the New York performing arts scene but was just an excuse to print nearly nude pictures of Broadway chorus boys and dancers, eager young actors and coy male prostitute types. It was the "Out" magazine of its day, (the 70's) and every young gay man had a copy or two hidden somewhere in his bedroom, probably next to his "International Male" catalog.
I'm sure After Dark DID have cigarette ads, but I'm thinking that all the pictures of nubile young male dancers, (mainly hairless) and their bulgy tights caused Dan to sublimate his oral urges in an entirely different way than taking up cigarettes.
oh, and young gay men DID read Playboy, but only the "Sex in Cinema" issue where there would be at least a couple pictures of naked guys. That's where I got my first glimpse of Harry Reems. (I'm guessing that Mr Savage's first sighting of the extremely hirsute Mr Reems, caused a strong gagging reflex...)
Well, the Sex in Cinema was the best section - at least in the stash of old Playboys my step-dad had.
Thanks a lot, now I need to go buy a carton of Dorals.
This is nothing. You should see the commercials sponsoring Judy Garland's TV show from the '63-'64 TV season. When it's not General Mills it's some tobacco company or cigarette maker.

One suspects you were too even if you never held a cigarette in your hand at that period in life. In our household,
Kent was the preferred brand......a really nasty odor. I can still recall the that odious smell.

Everyone in this comment thread is bigoted against Smoker-Americans. TO THE SMOKOSPHERE!
1971 was right after cigarette commercials were banned from television. The cartoon strip presented in Playboy was probably taken directly from the storyboard they had planned for a TV commercial. As soon as I saw the "taste me, taste me" in the cartoon I remembered what it sounded like when I saw the Doral commercials on TV as a child.
Yeah,Dan ,what the hell was wrong with you? Doral is th shit.
Today (12/11) I have 26 day smoke free under my belt!
it's an ADDICTION, not a habit.

You can actually install Windows XP into a virtual machine using free software, such as VirtualBox, running Windows XP as an application on Windows Vista. That is essentially what XPMode does, though it is a pre-built and customized virtual machine. Either way, it will provide the same functionality as Windows XP in that regard since it is, in fact, Windows XP.
Hope this helps,
At the risk of being tagged a Luddite, as a writer I still prefer to use DOS-based Xywrite for raw word-processing. XP permitted me to open this full screen with an "Alt/Enter" combination, but Vista permits only a relatively small window. I've tried installing XP to a partition, to no avail, so remain somewhat frustrated. Bottom line: will the "virtual XP" element of Windows 7 permit me to open DOS-based programs full-screen? Thanks in advance for whatever advice is offered.

This is such a great topic. I went through this in 2002 and again in 2007, as I also was a slow learner. I am finally getting back to where I can be approved and it feels great. Knowing that I didn't want a round three of lates, chargeoffs or collections , decided to join this forum and take control of my financial issues!
When I joined my cc uti was probably 75% or so on some months and 0% on others. I've learned to pay it down and I will make controlled strategic purchases. Right now my uti is about 21% and by the end of the year it will be 7-9%.
A lot of knowledge is to be gained and sadly you have to budget like a ninja <---as my hubby puts it! ) Always preparing for accidents, job loss, vehicle issues and other mishaps.
Good luck to you and I agree a program that indicates when you have gone too high is always good. I write mine down and keep track that way...for some reason pen to paper helps me remember better.

I have to thank my lucky stars for PSECU, they have never let me down. I was able to get a personal loan to clear half of my CC debt and thankfully the rest is on a 0% card I can make big payments on monthly.
I have this forum to thank, because I realized I grew my credit garden way too fast and got irresponsible with it. This is a lesson learned.
Thank you everyone!

It's good that you have caught yourself before things got entirely out of control. Time to get out the excel spreadsheet, make yourself a strict budget, and get back on track!

I'm glad you've had a "moment of clarity" with your CC's and spending before it got any worse. Many, many people don't have this moment until it is so out of control that it is beyond fixing without drastic life changing measures (like BK, home foreclosure, repos, etc.). You aren't anywhere near that, fortunately, and can pull back in a fairly short amount of time provided you let this moment take hold and you stick to a plan.
I've followed your sucesses, trials and tribulations on this forum since you joined. I've been amazed at your candidness about the good and the bad, which is rare on an internet forum. I've likely been one of those "oddballs" who criticized and warned you of the perils of the path that I saw you taking (having been there myself long ago). Although it may have seemed that I was somewhat confrontive at times, I was honestly only trying to help you learn what I had to learn the hard way - maybe so you wouldn't have to go through the same thing.
I think this thread might go a long way toward helping others as it seems that many who have read your thread and posted are in the process of having their own "moments of clarity". Here's a few suggestions for your future posts that will not only help you, but could help others as well:
Stop talking about applying for new credit and CLI's because you aren't going to do either.
Start talking about your progress, i.e. balance reductions on your accounts, decreasing utilization, and increasing FICO scores.
Stop placing time frames on when you are going to apply for new credit (i.e "I'm gardening for at least two years, or until January 2013 etc.).
Start looking at this as a one day at a time deal.
Stop being so hard on yourself.
Start talking about the credit lines you are going to CLOSE because they aren't useful, you don't want them, or you don't need them.
Start to have PATIENCE. It takes a while to pay a large debt off.
I wish you the best, LS. You'll come out of this just fine.

Re: Had to come to a realizatio

I applaud LS for recognizing the spiral. Having CC's and being responsible with them is important to learn. Occe you get decent credit, and start getting higher limits it can get out of control if you are not very careful. I keep mine on a spreadsheet where I enter the balances and can see my bottom line. Getting new cards (with spend requirements for bonuses) can sometimes compound the problem, if you allow yourself to spend on things you don't need just to get a bonus.
You also have to watch your balances/utilization because as your total amount of available credit increases, you can still be well within the "sweet spot" of 6-9% utilization (for fico purposes), but the actual amount you owe is more than you can afford, or more than you are comfortable with.
It is great to have good enough credit to be able to have the option of a personal loan and 0% BT cards, because many don't. This is not to say that I always act as responsible as I should with credit, as I found this forum as others did, when I was dealing with some credit "challenges." Just acknowledging that it is still a learning process, and we all need a wake up call now and then.

Re: Had to come to a realizatio

I really appreciate everyone's responses!!!!
Android, I want to say thank you. You've been very helpful to me and I only wish I would have tooken more of your advice earlier in my credit journey. Sometimes you have to fall in order to get back up and stay up.
Someone nailed it earlier when they said when your overall util. grows to high limits you don't realize how much debt you really have when your util. is below 20%, that seem acceptable to you. That's how it was for me.
I figure to be back down below 5% util. in 6 months. A combination of tax returns and big payments will square PSECU and BArclays away and all of my other cards are zeroed out.
I cant see myself closing accounts just because I love them too much and GE is very very good to me and thats where most of my high lines are. I can say i'm not seeking anymore new credit and not having an urge at all. Maybe years down the road if I want more cards i'll close one out and get another.

LS... you will be fine. I know what its like to go from 3k in available credit to over 40k in a short amount of time. I was fortunate to have the lines when I needed them but honestly the zync is my primary card because I am forced to pay it off every month.
Try using zync more and bring lunch or eat home more. You will be fine its just a learning curve of learning how to manage crazily huge credit limits.
I really like this idea. I have a month or so before I can start doing this but i'd love to do my daily spend on Zync just to have to PIF every month.

Re: Had to come to a realizatio

You will get through it, LS! It was brave and helpful of you to post your situation. Just know that you're not alone. I'm in a similar situation as far as the amount of cc debt. I sobered up to my situation two years ago and now manage my accounts quite well but I'm still paying "stupid tax" as Dave Ramsey would say. My recent app spree has enabled me to do a couple of BTs @ 0% and that has helped. Luckily, in my foolish days, I didn't earn any negs on my cr, only high util. That's what saved me. LOL! I know once I pay them down/off, my score will get a nice bounce.
I know many others are in the same boat and it's a nice change to have a post like yours, showing the other side. I love seeing the approvals and I'm happy for those who post them but a thread like this is an eye opener for us all.
Keep the faith, you can and will do it! We have confidence in you!!!!

I keep my accounts in my budget software. If I am over-budget, the software shows me BIG RED NUMBERS and I hate those! This has really helped me control my spending.
I do EXACTLY the same thing and the red negatives have absolutely the same effect. I rework the expenses until the reds are GONE!!!

What's the big secret?
Have you ever wondered why some businesses seem to go from strength to strength, while others just struggle along or worse still, close the doors not long after they open? What do the successful people know that the unsuccessful people don't? Is there really a 'secret formula' for starting and running a successful business? Is it management skills, flair, vision, knowledge, leadership ability, persistence or just plain luck?
The truth is, it's usually a combination of all these things and more. There are no 'secrets' as such to starting and running a successful business. There are however, lots of 'tricks of the trade' and shortcuts to success that will save you a lot of time, money and heartache. That's what this book is all about.
Most of the wisdom it contains was gained the hard way – by making costly and painstaking mistakes. Experience is a wonderful teacher but it can also be a very expensive one! This book is designed to save you having to learn these expensive lessons the hard way. It sets out to give you a broad overview of the daily problems and challenges you are likely to face in your business and the best way to effectively deal with them.
I've spent almost thirty years running my own business in several different industries. During that time, I've enjoyed some notable successes however, I've also had my share of setbacks. I once owned a business that failed, resulting in my losing virtually every penny I had in the world. It was a dreadful experience and one that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy!
Unfortunately, every year, thousands of small business owners suffer a similar fate. If sharing my experiences through this book results in even one of these failures being avoided, then the time and effort put into writing it will have been well worthwhile.
I wish you good luck with your business.

Special to Page 2
I never realized my belief that big-time sports had sacrificed its final scraps of integrity in pursuit of television cash until I had the audacity to suggest it on the most recent episode of "The Sports Reporters."Judging by Mike Lupica's and Mitch Albom's reactions, you'd have thought I'd just busted into a kindergarten classroom and shouted: "There is no Santa Claus." My view that professional sports (or televised sports) is nothing more than entertainment -- tools to drive TV ratings with little more integrity and importance than Season 6 of "The Sopranos" -- seemed to shock my esteemed fellow panelists. I've literally spent the past four days examining my own beliefs, trying to understand why some of the brightest sportswriting minds are adamant that athletes not be classified as pure entertainers -- no more important than Mel Gibson, Dave Chappelle or 50 Cent. Another respected friend and colleague, William Rhoden, just published a powerful, provocative and compelling book, "Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall and Redemption of the Black Athlete," that laments the fact that African-American athletes are no longer players in the fight for social justice. Sportswriters, particularly those who lived during the civil rights movement and/or covered Muhammad Ali's career, desperately want athletes to remain important and relevant in a larger context than as just entertainers. Ali, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Curt Flood, Jim Brown, Joe Louis, Arthur Ashe, Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, John Carlos and Tommie Smith elevated the stature of the American sportswriter. Their intended and unintended social stances made us chroniclers of something important. The fact that Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Joe Namath, Rocky Marciano, John Wooden, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and even Joe Montana and Michael Jordan could be held up as cultural heroes and icons, standards of American excellence and global symbols of American might, added to our importance as recorders of a vital part of history. That's why there is so much angst among sportswriters concerning the performance-enhancing drug era. Floyd Landis, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Justin Gatlin and countless other alleged performance-enhancing cheats are tearing down the hero, icon and role-model platform that sportswriters built for athletes and sportswriters to stand on. If we accept that athletes have shed the responsibility (burden) of being role models and are totally zeroed in on making as much money as possible by any means necessary, then we must acknowledge we are no more important than Ebert and Roeper. We're not ready to do that. That's why we're very protective of Lance Armstrong. He might have dominated a sport we care nothing about, but he beat cancer and there's no hard evidence to convict him of doping. Obviously, I contend the notion of athlete as hero -- athlete as fighter for social justice, athlete as role model -- is an outdated one. Athletes in televised sports are cold-blooded businessmen willing to inject themselves with whatever corporate farmers inject into the chickens, cows and pigs we eat. And should we really blame them? Do you honestly believe that Carlos and Smith would've raised black fists had there been seven-figure endorsement deals waiting on them after the Olympics, let alone the freedom to spend that money anywhere they chose? Do you honestly believe that pro athletes in the 1950s and 1960s would've avoided using HGH if it meant they could play with less pain and earn $10 million a season in their 30s and 40s? Come on, we're not being remotely fair when we judge the modern-day athlete. We've adopted extremist views for a problem that is extremely complex. We're beating up athletes for crimes many of us would commit if placed in the same position. We don't even truly understand the consequences of their actions. It's fun to shout about Lyle Alzado, but what has happened to all the other NFL players of Alzado's era? He was far from the only player of that era exploiting steroids. I know some of those players. The ones I know are in relatively good health and leading productive lives. I'm not advocating the use of performance-enhancing drugs. I don't think it's fair or OK. However, given the money that has been dumped into televised sports, I don't think it's going to be possible to rid professional sports of performance-enhancing drugs. It would be as difficult as removing promiscuous sex, alcohol abuse and recreational drug use from Hollywood. Ain't gonna happen. So athletes will not be making a return as role models. Sports are nothing more than reality TV. They're "American Idol" on steroids. In some ways, we sportswriters are not much different from Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. Are we diminished because of it? Not in the pocketbook. Albom and Lupica have made millions writing novels, and we've all made money judging athletes on radio and TV. We volunteered to join the entertainment industry. We have no right to bash athletes for embracing the role of entertainer.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A history buff has portrayed Julia Tutwiler in urging the Alabama House not to replace Tutwiler's "Alabama" as the official state song.
Sue Bass Wilson of Andalusia dressed in attire from the 1860s to give the House what amounted to a one-woman show Thursday. She descrbied how Tutwiler penned the lyrics during Reconstruction to
inspire pride in Alabamians.
Democratic Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow of Red Bay has introduced a
bill to change "Alabama" to the state anthem and make "Stars Fell on Alabama" the state song. Morrow said Alabama needs a more familiar state song for tourism promotions.
Wilson said "Alabama" might be more familiar if the Legislature used it to open each session. Wilson is president of the Covington Historical Society. She is friends with House Speaker Seth Hammett, who arranged her appearance.

This is by far your smartest piece. Although collected rain water and melting polar caps are a bit of a disconnect. But very smart work indeed.
stupid line spoiled an otherwise neat medium. I wonder if all that stagnant water would attract mosquitoes.
I have to agree with the mosquito breeding concern.
I really like the idea but perhaps in real life, the tank filled with rain water would seem to be not on purpose. People might think it's just a spoiled tank filled with dirty rain water.
Kudos for the creative idea, though.
Is it fake? If this is really in Brazil the man in the picture can't ready the line!
Excellent! The best of the series.
I saw this work at the one show's for sure.
It`s great :-)

HOUSTON (August 6, 2014) A 16-year-old boy will be tried as an adult in the murder of a suburban Houston girl who prosecutors say was killed as part of a satanic ritual, a judge ruled.
Victor Alas is charged with capital murder in the Feb. 5 death of Corriann Cervantes, 15, who was killed in a vacant apartment.
If convicted as an adult, Alas would face a life prison sentence, but would be eligible for parole after 40 years.
Jose E. Reyes, 17, was also charged with capital murder in the girl's death, Harris County prosecutor Martina Longoria said.
He's scheduled to go on trial on Nov. 3.
Prosecutors allege Alas and Reyes sexually assaulted the girl and then killed her in an effort to make a deal with the devil.

Configuration of the Network Load Balancing Clusters at Microsoft.com
Updated: September 1, 2003
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
This section describes the details of the hardware, software, and Network Load Balancing configurations of the clusters of Web servers that support the Microsoft.com Web site. Because the purpose of this document is to focus on the details of the clustering implementations, only limited information is provided regarding general network hardware configuration and other configuration settings that are not specifically related to Network Load Balancing. However, each Network Load Balancing setting is discussed in depth.
For information about hardware configuration, see Hardware Configuration for Network Load Balancing Hosts.
For information about the software configuration, see Software Configuration for Network Load Balancing Hosts.
For information about the Network Load Balancing configuration, see Network Load Balancing Configuration.
Hardware Configuration for Network Load Balancing Hosts
Each host in the Network Load Balancing clusters at Microsoft.com has the same hardware. The servers are Compaq ProLiant ML570s (7U) with the following standard hardware:
4 x Pentium III XEON 700 Mhz; 1-MB cache processors
2 GB, 100 Mhz SDRAM
Smart array controller 5302/64: PCI; 64-bit/66 MHz; 2-channel; U160; 64-MB cache
Hard disk drives
10 x 18.2 GB hot-plug; 15K RPM drives
2 x 36.4 GB hot-plug; 15K RPM drives
Network adapters
2 x NC3134 Fast Ethernet network adapters; 32/64-bit PCI; 33/66 MHz; dual-base 10/100
Power supply
Hot-plug redundant power supply
This hardware provides the necessary processor capacity for unexpected spikes in Web-site traffic at Microsoft.com. At the time of this writing, these are currently some of the fastest four-processor computers available. With 2 gigabytes (GB) of memory, the computers can handle several IIS 6.0 processes at once, in addition to providing plentiful caching capacity.
Storage Configuration for Each Host
Each host has the following storage configuration:
120-GB content capacity
34-GB logging capacity
Virtual disk 1: RAID-1 mirrored system volume that contains the operating system and applications
Virtual disk 2: RAID-1 mirrored logging volume that contains IIS log files
Virtual disk 3: RAID-5 striped content volume that contains all Web content
Diagram 4
Diagram 4 shows the storage configuration for each host. Each host has 12 physical disks, which are configured into three virtual disks. Virtual disks 1 and 2 are RAID-1 configurations and the third is a RAID-5 configuration. Virtual disk 3 (RAID-5) is distributed across a two-channel RAID controller.
Microsoft.com implemented this storage configuration for each host to achieve high capacity and redundancy. Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, support RAID-0, RAID-1, and RAID-5 configurations. The purpose of RAID-1 and RAID-5 configurations is to guard against the loss of data in the event of a catastrophic hard-disk failure. Microsoft.com used RAID-1 and RAID-5 configurations to provide the required fault tolerance at a minimum cost.
The virtual disks and hard disks were split across two channels because of the limitations of hard disk space. Although each RAID channel can only accommodate six hard disks, each server has space for 12. Therefore, these are split between two channels.
This design is a compromise between minimizing cost and optimizing performance. With only two channels and a single controller to use, Microsoft.com chose to put the Web content on a single channel and therefore, had to put the operating system and the IIS logs together on the other channel. The ideal high-availability solution, which includes storing the mirrored volumes on separate channels, requires additional hardware costs.
Software Configuration for Network Load Balancing Hosts
Each host in the Network Load Balancing clusters at Microsoft.com has the following software:
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM)
Network Adapters
Each server has two network adapters installed. The cluster adapter is labeled FE (by Microsoft.com administrators) for front-end. The management adapter is labeled BE for back-end.
The network adapters have the following:
|"FE" network adapter
|"BE" network adapter
Internet protocol (TCP/IP)
Network monitor driver
Internet protocol (TCP/IP)
Network monitor driver
Network Load Balancing
Client for Microsoft networks
File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks
IP address
Static virtual IP address (VIP)
Static dedicated IP address (DIP)
Static IP address
The adapters are labeled for easy identification. The FE adapter is the cluster adapter, which is used for Internet traffic, while the BE adapter is the management adapter, which is used for content replication and administration. As a best practice, you should use two network adapters in all Network Load Balancing implementations. In this case, the two network adapters provide additional security by physically separating the Internet traffic from the perimeter network (also known as the screened subnet) traffic. Also, they address the restriction that a Network Load Balancing cluster that is operating in unicast mode cannot distinguish among single adapters on individual hosts. Therefore, to make communication among cluster hosts possible, each cluster host must have at least two network adapters.
TCP/IP Configuration
Each network adapter is given a static IP address and a static DNS server address. The static IP address on the FE adapter is known as the dedicated IP address (DIP).
In addition to the DIP, the FE adapter also has the virtual IP address (also known as the cluster IP address, or VIP), which is used by all Internet clients connecting to Microsoft.com.
NetBIOS is disabled on the FE adapter through the advanced TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
Each adapter that is bound to Network Load Balancing (in this case the FE adapter on each host) has a dedicated IP address (DIP) in addition to the virtual IP address (see Diagram 5). The dedicated IP address must be a static IP address that is unique for each host. The DIP cannot be a DHCP address. The DIP is only used to allow remote connections to a specific host through the Network Load Balancing Adapter. Traffic addressed to the DIP is never load balanced.
Be aware that you should always enter the dedicated IP address first in TCP/IP properties, before the virtual IP address.
Diagram 5
Network Load Balancing references the dedicated IP address (DIP) only when a single network adapter is used to handle both client-to-cluster traffic and other network traffic that must go specifically to the dedicated IP address; for example, Telnet access to a specific host within the cluster. At Microsoft.com, the DIP is primarily used by ClusterSentinel. All other administrative communication, such as content replication, occurs through the BE adapter.
Communication over the direct hosting port, as well as other ports that are considered unnecessary, is restricted by router access control lists (ACLs). The NetBIOS is disabled on the FE adapter in order to provide a secondary layer of protection to protect against malicious activity behind the ACLs. However, even with the NetBIOS disabled, direct hosting of Server Message Block (SMB) traffic is still active. For more information about direct hosting, see article 204279, Direct Hosting of SMB Over TCP/IP, in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4441).
Network Load Balancing Configuration
This section describes the parameters that are configured for the Network Load Balancing clusters as a whole, the parameters that are specific to each host in the Network Load Balancing cluster, and the port rules that control how the cluster functions.
Cluster Parameters
These parameters appear on the Cluster Parameters tab that is available when you configure or view Network Load Balancing properties. These parameters must be set identically on each host of the cluster. The easiest way to achieve this is to use Network Load Balancing Manager when implementing and configuring the hosts.
|Configuration setting
Network Load Balancing is enabled on the network adapter labeled FE.
Network Load balancing is only enabled on the FE adapter because the BE adapter is used exclusively for administrative network traffic and communication among the hosts. The BE adapters also handle content replication across the hosts. The BE adapter does not handle any cluster traffic from clients.
IP address is set to the IP address of the cluster (the VIP). In this document, these addresses are 0.0.0.x.* See Set of Network Load Balancing Clusters Running IIS 6.0 (Diagram 2) and the Network Load Balancing Host Diagram (Diagram 3), earlier in this document, for more information.
Subnet mask is set to the subnet mask of the cluster's IP address.
* These are not the actual Microsoft.com VIPs.
Note that each cluster has only one virtual IP address. Microsoft.com has not used the Virtual Cluster feature of Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, which allows you to enable multiple virtual IP addresses for each cluster.
Unicast is selected.
Unicast mode is typically the preferred cluster operation mode. While multicast mode can sometimes be used as an alternative and does offer certain advantages, it is not supported by all routers and often presents additional complexity. Unicast mode with multiple adapters is a model that is suitable for a cluster such as the one described in this document, in which ordinary network communication among cluster hosts is necessary or desirable and a second management adapter is available for that communication.
Remote control is enabled.
Remote control is enabled to allow the administrators to use ClusterSentinel for controlling the cluster.
|Although used at Microsoft.com, the remote control option is generally discouraged because it presents significant security exposures including the possibility of data tampering, denial of service and information disclosure. We strongly recommend that sites use other remote management tools such as Network Load Balancing Manager or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) instead of remote control. If you choose to enable remote control, it is vital that you restrict access by specifying a strong remote control password. In addition to the password, it is also imperative that you use a firewall to protect the Network Load Balancing UDP control ports (the ports receiving remote control commands) to shield them from outside intrusion (see Diagram 6). By default, these are ports 1717 and 2504 at the virtual IP address. Microsoft.com has implemented these safeguards.
Diagram 6:
Host Parameters
These parameters appear on the Host Parameters tab that is available when you configure Network Load Balancing. Some of these parameters are unique for each host, but in most cases are identical across all of the hosts in the cluster.
|Configuration setting
Priority (Unique Host ID) is set to the host ID that the particular server represents in the cluster.
The Priority (Unique Host ID) determines which host handles certain cluster traffic. The host with the lowest numerical priority among the current members of the cluster handles all of the cluster's network traffic that is not covered by a port rule. Each host must have a different Priority value. If Network Load Balancing Manager is used to configure the hosts, Network Load Balancing Manager will ensure that each host has a unique priority.
Initial host state is set to stopped and the Remain suspended check box is not selected.
Initial host state is set to stopped to allow the Microsoft.com administrators to perform a variety of tests on the host once it is restarted after a shutdown, but prior to allowing it to rejoin the cluster. This allows the administrators to ensure that the host is operating properly before it is included in the Network Load Balancing rotation.
Dedicated IP address and Subnet mask are set to the IP address and subnet mask of the FE network adapter.
Once again, it is important to distinguish between the dedicated IP address (the DIP), which is configured on this tab, and the virtual IP address (VIP), which is the cluster's IP address and is configured on the Cluster Parameters tab. If you use Network Load Balancing Manager to configure your cluster, the dedicated IP address parameter will already contain the correct address. The addresses configured on this tab (and the Cluster Parameters tab) are assigned to the FE network adapter.
Port Rules
Port rules are set up to control how each port handles network traffic addressed to the cluster. The number and type of rules must be exactly the same for each host in the cluster. We recommend that you use Network Load Balancing Manager to configure port rules. If you are using Network Load Balancing Manager, when you add additional hosts, they will automatically inherit the cluster port rules from the initial host. If you are not using Network Load Balancing Manager and a host attempts to join the cluster with a different number of rules, or with different rules from the other hosts, it is not accepted as part of the cluster. The rest of the cluster then continues to handle the traffic as before. At the same time, a message is entered into the Windows event log.
Be aware that all network traffic that is addressed to the cluster and is not governed by port rules is handled by the host with the highest host priority among the current members of the cluster. This single host handles all of the cluster network traffic not governed by a port rule, with another host taking over the traffic only in the event that the highest priority host fails or goes offline. This default behavior ensures that Network Load Balancing does not affect cluster network traffic for ports that you do not specifically manage with the Network Load Balancing load-balancing mechanisms. It also provides high availability for handling your cluster network traffic.
Port Rules Configured at Microsoft.com
Microsoft.com has only two port rules configured:
Port range: 80 to 80
Virtual IPs: all
Protocols: TCP
Filtering mode: multiple hosts
Affinity: none
Load weight: equal
- Virtual IPs: all
Port range: 443 to 443
Virtual IPs: all
Protocols: TCP
Filtering mode: multiple hosts
Affinity: none
Load weight: equal
- Virtual IPs: all
The port range that is specified in each of the rules includes only ports that are handled by the cluster's virtual IP address (VIP). Therefore, they are the only ports handling traffic managed by Network Load Balancing. Be aware, however, that this does not prevent network traffic from being sent to and from each host's dedicated IP address (DIP) or other ports on the VIP. Microsoft.com has used router access control lists (ACLs) to manage this kind of traffic. You can also disable the remaining ports by creating port rules that include all remaining ports, and then using the Disable setting in the Port Rules Configuration dialog box. While this configuration provides additional protection for the host, do not use port rules as a substitute for a firewall.
Microsoft.com does not make use of virtual clusters in this document, thus the port rules are configured as global port rules by choosing All for the virtual IP address.
TCP is the only type of traffic that this cluster handles.
Setting the filtering mode to multiple hosts allows all of the hosts in the cluster to handle network traffic for the associated port rule. This filtering mode provides scaled performance and fault tolerance by distributing the network load among multiple hosts. You can specify whether the load is equally distributed among the hosts or that each host handle a specified load weight. Microsoft.com has specified equal load weight for each host.
Affinity is set to None, which specifies that multiple connections from the same client IP address can be handled by different cluster hosts (that is, there is no client affinity).
|Although not used by Microsoft.com, Class C or single affinity is typically recommended for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transmissions on port 443 to make the most efficient use of server resources. SSL connections are associated with a particular session ID, which (within a specified time constraint) can be reused when communicating with a particular host. If the client computer presents the session ID to a different host, the session will be rejected and a new session will be negotiated. (This process is transparent to the user). The negotiation requires additional host resources and increases the server overhead. Therefore, if you use Class C or single affinity, you can minimize how often the session must be renegotiated.
This concludes the configuration section of this document. As described earlier, information provided here is meant to cover only those settings directly related to the Network Load Balancing implementation at Microsoft.com. Other software and hardware details that are necessary for a production Web site have not been described.

Hi its me again :)
I'm trying to set up the event display on my website. Currently I can only display the events as per chosen one category (e.g. just Recomended or just by Chosen City) and I would like to show the events that have marked two catgories (Recommended & Chosen city). Could you please tell me what would be the shortcode to tie these two categories so that I can only display the events that are compliant with both categories at the same time?
I have tried but without any result:
[events_list scope="future" category='71 and 145' limit=5 ][/events_list]
[events_list scope="future" category='71 + 145' limit=5 ][/events_list]
[events_list scope="future" category='149' category='71' limit=5 ][/events_list]
I would be grateful for your support.

Fixed PriceDelivery by April 20, 2014
I'm building a social networking app for the iPhone.
Recently hired a developer to build it but wasn't able to complete the app.
40% of the app is completed. Databases are already created.
I need someone to take over and build the rest of the application.
- Some functionality still needs implementation.
- UI is incomplete.
- Needs social integration (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn)
I currently have all the source code. Ready to start any minute.
