|[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-3867) RamUsageEstimator.NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER is incorrect
|Wed, 14 Mar 2012 17:10:46 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3867?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13229363#comment-13229363 ] Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-3867: ------------------------------------- Yeah... well... I'm flattered :) I'm still -1 for adding this particular method because I don't like being surprised at how a method works and this is surprising behavior to me, especially in this class (even if it's documented in the javadoc, but who reads it anyway, right?). If others don't share my opinion then can we at least rename this method to sizeOfBlah(..) where Blah is something that would indicate it's not actually taking into account char buffer sharing or sub-slicing (suggestions for Blah welcome)? > RamUsageEstimator.NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER is incorrect > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3867 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3867 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core/index > Reporter: Shai Erera > Assignee: Shai Erera > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 3.6, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-3867-compressedOops.patch, LUCENE-3867.patch, LUCENE-3867.patch > > > RamUsageEstimator.NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER is computed like that: NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_HEADER + NUM_BYTES_INT + NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF. The NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF part should not be included, at least not according to this page: http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/memory/array_memory_usage.shtml > {quote} > A single-dimension array is a single object. As expected, the array has the usual object header. However, this object head is 12 bytes to accommodate a four-byte array length. Then comes the actual array data which, as you might expect, consists of the number of elements multiplied by the number of bytes required for one element, depending on its type. The memory usage for one element is 4 bytes for an object reference ... > {quote} > While on it, I wrote a sizeOf(String) impl, and I wonder how do people feel about including such helper methods in RUE, as static, stateless, methods? It's not perfect, there's some room for improvement I'm sure, here it is: > {code} > /** > * Computes the approximate size of a String object. Note that if this object > * is also referenced by another object, you should add > * {@link RamUsageEstimator#NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF} to the result of this > * method. > */ > public static int sizeOf(String str) { > return 2 * str.length() + 6 // chars + additional safeness for arrays alignment > + 3 * RamUsageEstimator.NUM_BYTES_INT // String maintains 3 integers > + RamUsageEstimator.NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER // char[] array > + RamUsageEstimator.NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_HEADER; // String object > } > {code} > If people are not against it, I'd like to also add sizeOf(int[] / byte[] / long[] / double[] ... and String[]). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Love the look and overall style of these tennis shoes. Having not tried them on prior to online purchase I did find them to be a rather snug fit and it is necessary to open them wide at the neck by freeing the laces before inserting the foot. I also wear Aircast ankle supports so half a size larger than normal might be the way forward. Once on, however, they look fantastic!! ... read more
Great shoe comfort and look wise! Adidas always has the best tennis court shoes! However, when I ordered these, they were a 1/2 size too big which was very inconvenient. I also bought the purple color and they were slightly darker, almost blue, now that I look back I wish I would've bought the grey ones. ... read more
Seems like it is virtually impossible to find squash (racquetball) shoes that are 4E wide. These 2E TENNIS shoes are the closest I could find. For indoor play, They lack the gum rubber needed for quick turns. Nevertheless they seem to work okay. ... read more
I'm so happy with this skort. I bought the small as I wear sizes 4-6. Fits perfectly and it doesn't grab your thighs. The waistband is very comfortable and doesn't dig into your waist. It's obviously very stylish as well. ... read more
A beautiful product. Obviously of great quality and comfort. However, the fit was too narrow for me, possibly because of the extra cushioning. I have bought Adidas tennis shoes for many years, but had to return these. ... read more
The shoe overall quality is good and I think the comfort is great but, since it was too large for me it didn't feel comfortable at all. As I saw through the other reviews saying that you should buy a size larger than your true size (11.5); I bought a size 12 one. But when I bought a 1/2 larger than my true size, it was bigger.... ... read more
I play tennis for years now a i use diferent brands and i can say Adidas Barricade any model are perfect and i always buy them because it gaves you confort,durability and confidence in the court best support for your feet plus helps with the speed, i always recommend it 100%. ... read more
The quality of the material is great and the grey is a soft, flattering tone. The waistband is a little stiff, which slightly reduces the comfort factor but it certainly holds everything where it should be! ... read more
The shoe was very comfortbale and worked very well on hard courts. I am pretty rough on my shoes, playing six days a week competitively for a few hours, so the six month warranty was a huge plus. I wear a 7 1/2 and my other tennis shoes have been running slightly small so I ordered an 8 but it was at least a size too big. ... read more
The above shirt was packaged perfectly when it arrived. I wore it straight away and was a lovely fit. The material has a stretchy feel to it which I personally like as well as the colour green, groovy. I believe it was a good buy and when I get my 15% off through I will buy another, a testament. ... read more
Shoes have nice feel to them. They were a little narrow for my feel but they did fit lengthwise. I suggest they make a wide size for people like me. I will have to take some time stretching them out so that they get more comfortable. Overall the shoes seem to have good feel, I still have to test its durability. ... read more
Was excited about these shoes. The are shallower than I expected. A bit narrower in the ball of my foot than I'd like. And I feel like I need more space in the ankle. There's a way that the shoe is cutting into my ankle painfully. It's as if two fewer lace holes would have been better for me. I'm sad that I'm not able to return them actually. But I couldn't tell how they would really feel and fit until I played in them. ... read more
These are a great pair of trainers, fantastic quality, however, they seem quite narrow and on the small side. My husband's size 9 feet were squeezed into the first pair of size 9 ordered. Sent back and ordered 9.5, very prompt service. However, these were too narrow. So, returned. ... read more
This T-shirt feels very comfortable. The fit is quite loose and baggy. The material is very soft almost a sheen style material. Not sure I'd buy anymore at full price but wouldn't hesitate if it ends up in the sale. Fit into my Adidas collection well and will get well worn. ... read more
Lovely looking and quality shoes but on the narrow side. I ordered a 9 (my size in every other shoe since forever, well not quite as I wasn't born with size 9 feet as that would be a bit wrong) had to send back for a 9.5, still too small, sent back and got a 10 and happy frickin days they fitted! The sending back bit was a bit of a pain but it is free so I won't cry about it, anyway it's nice to get acquainted with your local post office staff. ... read more

Read an Excerpt
Shit, Blackie, this one's dead, too. What're we gonna do?" The speaker, scarcely more than a boy—the lines cruelty would carve deep into his face not yet showing more than petulance—looked with disgust into an aluminum cargo box half the size of a semitrailer. His nose, high bridged and straight, the only feature of his face that suggested an ancestry not devoted to the baser things, wrinkled at the stink, a stink not from the bodies, or from the way they had died, but from the way they had lived for nineteen days.
"A jewel?"
"Maybe more'n one."
"We get rid of 'em."
Drops of water on the younger man's thick black hair glittered in the harbor lights like a cheap sequined hairnet. As his head pushed into the shadow of the shipping box, Blackie, fifty last birthday and made of hard muscles and hard times, turned away. For a second it had looked as if the head vanished and left the body standing stooped over by itself.
Blackie didn't like magic. Didn't like things that vanished or shifted or weren't what they seemed to be; things that couldn't be relied upon.
"Dougie, get your goddam head out of the box," he snapped. "What're you doing? Sniffing 'em? Jesus."
Unoffended, Dougie did as he was told. "What're we going to do?" he asked again, sounding plaintive.
Absurd burbling notes of "Baa Baa Black Sheep" swam through the moisture-laden air. Blackie tensed, his eyes seeking and sharp with the keenness of the hunter—or the hunted. He wished the night were darker. Seattle's interminable drizzle caught the light from the quay and the street above the docks, giving everything a shadowless glow, robbing the place of depth, reality.
"It's your cell phone," Dougie said helpfully.
"Fuck." Blackie fumbled the phone out of his jacket pocket and pawed it open, his blunt fingers clumsy as hooves on the tiny plastic cover. "Yeah? Oh, hi, sweetie-pie." A vicious glare, at odds with the sugary voice, abraded the smirk from Dougie's face. "No, Laura, Daddy didn't forget. I thought you got to stay up later's all. Okay. Ready? Nighty night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite." As he closed the phone, Dougie began his lament.
"What're we gonna—"
It was cut off by another few bars of the children's nursery song. Blackie's daughter liked to program the ring on his cell phone.
He flipped it open again. "Sweetie . . ." he began, then trailed off. His flesh tightened over wide cheek and brow bones, drawing the rigid lines of a man in pain—or in thrall to someone who enjoyed the dark arts.
"Yeah," he said. And "Yeah." And "Clear." Putting the phone back in his pocket, he jerked his chin toward the freight container. "Throw 'em in the back of the van. We got another job."
Dougie padded happily into the reeking darkness of the metal coffin. He knew Blackie's look, the freaky frozen look. The other job would be better. It was way more fun when they weren't already dead.
Old Man River. What a crock, Anna thought as she sat on a bench on the levee, the April sun already powerful enough to warm the faux wood slats beneath her back and thighs. The Mississippi was so unquestionably female, the great mother, a blowsy, fecund, fertile juggernaut that nurtured and destroyed with the same sublime indifference.
Rivers were paltry things where Anna had grown up, fierce only when they flash-flooded. Compared to the Mississippi their occasional rampages seemed merely the peevish snits of adolescence.
Half blind from the hypnotic sparkle of sun on ruffled water, she squinted at her watch. Geneva was about to go to work. Grunting mildly because there was no one close enough to hear, Anna shoved herself up from the bench and started back toward the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park on North Peters, a block from Café Du Monde and Jackson Square.
Young persons of the sort she seldom ran across in the parks had laid claim to a swath of the river walk. Six males, three females, four dogs, one puppy, and nine bicycles created a barrier that could either be detoured around or run as a gauntlet. Hostile glares from thirteen pairs of eyes—the puppy looked friendly enough—suggested Anna choose the detour.
Sheer orneriness suggested she take the puppy up on his tail-wagging invitation and plow through the pack. The alpha male, tall with hair pulled into a tail of natural dreadlocks, the kind created by aggressively bad hygiene and not kinky hair or salon manipulations, and a beard Charlie Manson might have sported before prison barbers took over his personal grooming, could have been close to thirty. The youngest was the girl holding the puppy. Anna put her at no more than thirteen or fourteen.
Age was hard to guess. Male and female alike wore only blacks and browns. Not a speck of color alleviated the drab of their thrift store clothing. Decorations were a study in sartorial nihilism: slashes, iron pins, rag-over-rag T-shirts with swastikas inked on. Piercing and cutting and tattooing moved seamlessly from fabric to flesh. Nothing was symmetrical, soft, or suggestive of kindness. Dirt, soot, sweat, and various effluvia dulled cloth, hair, and skin. Something more immutable dulled the eyes.
If life were to be found in T. S. Eliot's waste land, Anna believed it would be in the discovery of roving bands like this one; parentless, homeless, hopeless children, more like the child-soldiers of Rwanda—or little girls pressed into sexual slavery in World War II Japanese prison camps—than children from middle-and upper-class American families who chose to reject the plenty for the ride.
Geneva—Anna was staying in the apartment behind her house on Ursulines in the Quarter—called them "gutter punks." They were purported to call themselves "travelers" because they jumped trains, living the nomadic life once followed by hobos.
Just how dangerous they were, Anna hadn't a clue, but it was clear they wanted to inspire fear in civilians. Even without the stink and the rags and the self-mutilation, that alone would have earned them a wide berth as far as she was concerned. These kids were not her brand of criminal. She wasn't well versed in their migration patterns, did not know their natural habitat, what they preyed upon or what preyed upon them—but people who valued fear and enjoyed pain were scary. Healthy animals, bunnies and foxes and cougars and grizzlies, ran from what frightened them and avoided pain at all costs. When they stopped behaving this way it was because they were sick, rabid.
Anna felt it was the same for people, except one wasn't allowed to put them out of their misery.
Avoiding eye contact, she cut across the grass in the direction of the flood wall and the Jazz Historical Park. As she reached the tracks between the levee and the city where the Julia Street trolley ran, she heard a piercing whistle, the kind that can only be produced by sticking one's fingers in one's mouth, the kind that leaves grooves in the gray matter of anyone in a hundred-foot radius.
Stopping, she shaded her eyes and looked up the grassy slope she'd just descended. A gutter punk, a man in his late twenties with a double-pierced eyebrow and a crown of thorns tattooed across his forehead, was yelling and waving his arms at a small black dog racing down the levee after a flashily dressed white man who looked more Bronx chic than New Orleans cool.
Anna recognized the black terrier as one of the pack milling around on the river walk. The punk whistled again, and the mutt, as shaggy as his owner, hesitated and looked back. His feathery tail waved once; then he sat down no more than a yard from Anna, made a perfect O of his lips, pointed his chin at the sky, and howled a tiny wolf-puppy howl so perfect and unscary that Anna laughed.
Communication completed—at least as far as the dog was concerned—the little guy upended and ran off after the man he'd been following.
The punk on the levee howled then, and the hairs on the back of Anna's neck stirred in the heat. The punk's howl was all wolf, old and crying-sad as if the fuzzy-rumped pooch disappearing through the gate in the flood wall was absconding with all the love and light in the world.
Punk or not, Anna couldn't stand the anguish. She ran to catch an undoubtedly filthy and probably flea-ridden mutt. The flood wall opened into a wide alley paved in brick and peopled by three-quarter life-sized bronze sculptures: a butcher, a woman sitting on a park bench—citizens from a previous century sentenced to eternity in the town that had passed them by.
Anna skirted a fountain squirting three pathetically weak streams of water into the air and stopped in front of the Dutch Alley art gallery. The doors were open and could have swallowed a man and dog before she'd arrived. Shops in New Orleans seldom closed their doors, leaving them wide summer and winter in hopes the increase in tourist traffic would off set the energy bills. Man and dog could have stepped into any one of these invitations. New Orleans was dog friendly; animals in stores and bars were commonplace.
"Hah!" Anna said as she caught the last few inches of a tail disappearing into an archway farther down the alley. "Gotcha." She trotted after the dog.
From behind she could hear the clatter of heavy boots on brick. The punk was rounding the fountain. He wasn't as tall as he'd looked standing atop the levee and was thin to the point of starvation. Though the distance from where his clan usurped the public walkway to where Anna stood was less than a hundred yards, he was breathing heavily and had one hand pressed hard into his side.
"This way," Anna called and ran into the shade of the arch. To one side was another art gallery, to the other the public toilets.
The flashy dresser might have ducked into the john, but Anna had no intention of checking the men's room. Seeing men urinating against trees, though a perfectly natural transaction, was bad enough. She had no desire to witness the phenomenon as an indoor sport. She ran through to North Peters Street.
A flash of greasy lemon caught her eye. The dog whisperer's sport coat and, faithful as a shadow, the little feather-tailed dog had crossed North Peters and were halfway down Dumaine. The punk gasped up beside her in a gust reeking of old cigarettes and older urine as yellow jacket and pup turned into a slit between two brick buildings. The light had turned and traffic was flowing, but Anna figured she could make it across the four lanes without getting squashed. Stepping off the curb, she heard the punk yell, "Wait!" but she was already committed.
A horse-drawn carriage slowed cars coming from the French Market. Anna darted between two frustrated SUVs and jumped onto the sidewalk, where, if they did hit her, they'd be poaching. None of the drivers even bothered to flip her off. The Big Easy might have the highest per capita murder rate in the country, but the citizens were nice folks for all of that.
Sprinting through lackadaisical tourists like Drew Brees through linebackers, Anna zigged down Dumaine and into the narrow alley where the punk's dog had gone.
Alleys in New Orleans were unlike alleys in other American cities. Rather than being skinny runs given over to garbage cans and used condoms, many were transformed into impossibly slender gardens, with plant hangers drilled into the brick walks, ivy and creeping fig cloaking age and decay, and bright scraps of found art alleviating the gloom.
"Stop!" somebody yelled, but she paid no attention. She had spotted the dog. Partway down the verdant little urban canyon, tail up, it trotted on the heels of the stranger.
"Excuse me!" she called.
The man turned back and stared at her for a second longer than seemed necessary. "You talkin' to me?"
Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver. The guy was dead on, and Anna laughed. He squinted and looked suddenly dangerous. He hadn't been mimicking De Niro intentionally, Anna guessed. That or he believed he was De Niro.
"That your dog?" Anna asked.
The man looked down at the black terrier, noticing it for the first time. "He following me?"
"Since the levee," Anna told him.
"Get the fuck away from me," the guy shouted and kicked the little animal so viciously Anna screamed in pain along with it. Fury swept over her till the fern-feathered walls, the brick path, and even the whimpering dog disappeared. All that remained at the end of her tunnel vision was the oily man in the yellow sport coat and the need to rip him into teensy weensy pieces.
Without thought, she started for him. What she would have done had she reached him, she never found out. Into her truncated view flashed silver, a knife, an edged weapon. The glint of hard steel kindly brought Anna back to her right mind. Stopping abruptly, she knelt and picked up the dog, pretending that had been her goal all along.
"Your filthy cur follows me again, I kill it. You got that?"
"I got it," Anna said and, the dog cradled in her arms, took a step back, then another.
The knife wielder didn't take his eyes off her, but she had the oddest sensation she was vanishing. The moment she ceased to be a threat, she ceased to exist for him. The old "Dog's Philosophy of Life" seemed to apply to this creature: If he couldn't screw it, eat it, or piss on it, the hell with it.
Whistling under his breath—"Some Enchanted Evening," it sounded like—he folded the knife closed and continued down the alley. Hugging the dog, Anna watched until he turned a corner and was gone from sight.
Labored breathing dragged her attention back toward the Dumaine Street entrance. The punk, still clutching his side and moving with a slight dragging of the left foot as if he'd been born clubfooted and it had never been corrected, half fell in from the street and leaned heavily against the wall.
Anna turned on her heroine's smile and waited for the accolades. She deserved at least that for facing down an armed man to save a gutter punk's dog.
"Where is he?" the punk screamed as he lurched toward her between the mossy walls. "You bitch, you goddamn bitch." Spittle flew from his mouth as he turned on Anna and cursed her. The crown of thorns was tight across his brow, and his eyes were wild, whites showing around the irises, pupils dilated and bottomless. Above his lip a pencil-thin mustache contorted into Etch A Sketch angles, and the thumb-sized tuft of beard beneath his lower lip jutted out like the spine of a horned lizard.
"Stop, goddammit! Wait, goddammit," he screamed, but the yellow jacket was long gone. Arms outstretched like a B-movie zombie's, he lunged. Anna flattened herself and the dog against the brick and aimed a swift kick at his knee. He went down like a puppet whose strings had been cut and began to cry, wailing like a child.
Various courses of action skittered through Anna's mind. She could kneel and try to comfort this tortured soul. She could pull out her cell phone and call 911. Yell for help. Try to find the knife man. In the end all she did was set the dog down by its master and walk away. Since she was on administrative leave for mental instability—or something very like—the dog would have as good a shot at doing the right thing as she would. Probably better.
Leaving the alley, she hazarded a backward glance. The punk had managed to pull himself into a sitting position. He was hugging the dog. The dog was licking his face. For a moment Anna watched them. There was something about the dog that was off, niggling at the edges of her mind.
Breathing in the cooking smells on the street, the whiff of exhaust, the hints of horse manure, it came to her. The little terrier was a mess—it looked as if its hair had been chewed off in a dogfight rather than clipped by a sane groomer—but it was silky soft, shampooed, brushed, and smelled faintly of lilacs.

God has an email address?
"God convicted me"?
And lets not forget he also said his, " theological convictions, even the most controversial ones, are as unwavering as ever." So that's quite a lesson learned.
I also learned that as my platform has grown, so has my responsibility to speak about my convictions in a way that invites other people to experience charity from me, which means inflammatory language and such need to be scaled back.In English bibles, "charity" generally translates "caritas," which translates "agape" -- love based on one's esteem and empathy for others, not romantic love. I think it's interesting how Christian writings so carefully differentiate of one kind of love from another. The word "charity" is particularly tricky, since its etymological roots in "love" are disguised in present day English; contemporary speakers think not of "love," but of "generosity" or "forgiveness" when they hear the word "charity." Of course generosity and forgiveness may have their origins in caritas, love, but recognizing that requires an extra step of thought.
It seems to me that the original binary between agape and eros itself disguises the degree to which erotic and empathic love are not really separable, and that the word "charity" carries that obfuscating distinction further still, allowing us to forget, however momentarily, how much is founded on our empathic connection to other people: I know what it is to love and be loved fully within a heterosexual relationship, and knowing just how great that is, how could I deny it to someone who has happened to find it with another woman? That kind of empathic thinking is fundamental to my own political values, as it is, I think, to most other people who reject bigotries.
In his treatment of charity, Driscoll presses even further into obfuscation than the word itself already does: rather than simply saying he needs to feel more charity for others, or even more directly, that he needs to love others more, he ties himself into a rhetorical knot: now that he's a public figure, he needs "to speak about [his] convictions in a way that invites other people to experience charity from" him. Perhaps I'm courting the obvious, here, but if he genuinely feels charity, I think he will speak with it and others will experience it from him. What keeps him from just saying that he needs to love others more is that he is simultaneously trying to be faithful to his "convictions." I can see that in the contorted structure of his sentence: he's saying, "I need to show others charity without compromising my convictions, because compromising my convictions would be wrong."
This conflict between conviction and charity is an essential difference between the left and right on social issues in the U.S. today. For social lefties, charity holds sway, whereas for social conservatives, convictions hold sway. It's not black and white; everyone occasionally goes with their convictions over their charity, or vice versa. But as a general rule, I think it's true. Social lefties allow their love for others to form their convictions, while Driscoll's love for others, or at least the way he allows himself to express it, is shaped by his convictions. As someone to the far left of the spectrum on social issues, such questions are very simple for me -- if some conviction I hold comes into conflict with my ability to feel charity for others, I come to the conclusion that my conviction is wrong. But for a conservative like Driscoll, the conviction will never be wrong; when conviction comes into conflict with charity, the best he'll be able to do is let sinners know he loves them, but not their sin.
I wish people on the left of the political spectrum here could recapture the degree to which charity -- love -- generates their beliefs. Democrats don't need to talk about God more. They need to talk about charity, and the way conservatives back-seat that essential value in favor of the convictions they embrace as individuals or within small communities.
Ok, I just read every nauseating word of Driscoll's non-apology. Gawd, what an asshole.
"I learned that my theological convictions, even the most controversial ones, are as unwavering as ever. But I also learned that as my platform has grown, so has my responsibility to speak about my convictions in a way that invites other people to experience charity from me…"
In other words, he needs better marketing. I guess he thinks that everyone is as gullible as the people who attend his church.
I was looking forward to the protest and calling Driscoll out as the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot that he is, but after reading the comments on his blog, it's obvious a protest would just confirm his delusions of persecution.
It's painfully obvious that we're dealing with someone who has a severe and probably untreatable case of narcissistic personality disorder. Note that Driscoll meets ALL 8 DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA:
1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
4. requires excessive admiration
5. strong sense of entitlement
6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
9. arrogant affect.
Can you imagine learning life lessons from a man like that? The big story here is that his followers seem to be more ignorant of his "theological convictions" than those of us who would protest.
Some people are starting to take seriously the long-standing rumor that Mark Driscoll is a homosexual a la Haggard - apparently it was common knowledge during his college days. I'm not sure why someone directly connected hasn't come forth yet.
It's likely that most successful people have narcissistic personality disorder.
Here is the problem. His followers are going to now believe in this man even more because of this. So now instead of raising awareness of who this man really is, he is now giong to come across more convincing with his oppressive, homophobic, masonganistic beliefs. Fuck. This church needs a community protest that is not so easily diverted.
The planned protest had three stated goals (I'm not involved; just quoting from the press release):
- To expose to the city of Seattle to Reverend Driscoll's anti-women diatribe.
- To see Mark Driscoll removed as a religion columnist for The Seattle Times.
- To extract a sincere apology from Reverend Driscoll for his comments and a pledge to cease demeaning women in the future.
It's ridiculous to ask someone to apologize for his beliefs, and I think Mark Driscoll really believes what he preaches. His apology for the wording he used when repeatedly denouncing feminism only serves to muddle the effects of achieving goal #1 (bringing attention to the sexist nature of his preaching). Now that he has "apologized" for stirring up all this controversy, he's going to hire a publicist and find a less offensive way to say the same demeaning things he has said all along.
Here's the gist of his statement (not a direct quote):
A few weeks ago, when Ted Haggard's shit hit the fan, I blogged some tips for pastors -- young pastors, really, 'cause you know how young dudes are -- in an effort to help them avoid marital infidelity in the face of all the fine young poontang that is undoubtedly thrown at them (I should know). Somehow, one of my comments was misinterpreted. It was the one where I said that unlike my fortunately-for-our-marriage-still-beautiful wife, many pastors' wives really don't keep up their appearances, since they basically have their I-have-to-look-good-for-the-church husbands by the balls. Some people thought that I meant *Mrs. Haggard*, had really let *herself* go, and that I thought that this might led to Pastor Ted repeatedly driving to Denver for gay sex and crystallized methamphetamine.
Around that time, a group of Internet troublemakers got together on some chat rooms in the dark reaches of cyberspace. In their painstaking effort to prove their point about my and Jesus' views of women's lesser role in the church and womanly duties in the home, they even Googled my blog and searched Mars Hill's streaming media archive for quotes from me -- as if me denouncing feminism in my own words would implicate me! The blogosphere, always prone to hyperbole, erupted in a frenzy. Eventually, even some real journalists became interested and contacted me in hopes of finding a story. Knowing better than to talk to these muckrakers or to write about this in my next Seattle Times column, I posted a clarification to my blog. First, I joked that if the Episcopalians are going to let just anybody -- like women or men who live a homosexual lifestyle -- lead their churches, then they'll be appointing fluffy bunny rabbits next unless we man up soon. Then I made it very clear that I was sorry that people misunderstood what I previously blogged about pastors' wives.
I had just finished apologizing for people's overreaction to my helpful advice, and the next thing I know, this Internet group schedules an anti-Christianity protest to drag my name through the mud. We at the church don't want any trouble, so we've scheduled extra church security guards and police protection for that day. The elders and I made it clear that no one from the church is to do or say anything on camera that could make us look bad. In fact, I might not even bring my family to church on that day. Think of what the children might think if they saw all those people waving signs with all these old quotes from their dad about women and their mom! And worse yet, some of the protesters aren't just any jackasses, they call themselves Christians -- Christian pastors, even. Imagine the commotion! In addition to these misguided Christians, the protest group seemed to be made up of an eclectic mix of non-fundamentalists and people who are altogether opposed to religious fundamentalism, all of whom support a freewheeling, "anything goes" lifestyle.
At that point, I was having trouble sleeping. All I could think about was how to spin this mess (in the heart of Godless Seattle, no less) all the while facing the potential P.R. disaster of false-Christians, heathens, and secular sodomites banding together to focus on my preaching the gospel.
But then three things happened:
First, I read some Billy Graham books.
Second, I got a call from Carolyn Haggard, who is the niece of Ted Haggard, and better yet, overseer of media relations for his megachurch. God spoke to me through this woman, and He Convinced me that I should hire someone to do media relations for my church. Most helpful would be someone who could keep up with those who seek to use my words against me. I simply don't have time to keep up with monitoring the repercussions of my actions.
Third, some local pastors and Christian leaders, including the organizer of this weekend's protest, invited me to come listen to them talk about their recent frustrations with my preaching Biblical sexism. We met at an undisclosed location. We had a good discussion.
I hoped God would Speak to me through these people, and He Did. At the meeting I learned that even my craziest convictions are as strong as ever. But I also learned that as my influence has grown larger, so has my responsibility to phrase things in a way that will a) not piss people off so much, and b) convince them that I am correct in my convictions. I was really sorry to hear that some people have taken so personally the things I have said about how they should live their lives. A lady "pastor" who was there reminded me that I have to consider how my words will be received not only by my followers, but also by regular hell-bound Seattleites. At my church, I can say whatever I like, because everyone there knows I'm just a guy speaking the word of God -- don't blame the messenger, I'm just a regular douche bag, right? But outside of Mars Hill, I *am* just a regular douche bag. In the secular world people won't cut me so much slack when I say that a) people who advocate for women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men, are nothing but trouble, and b) if women have any problem with this, they should take it up with their husbands or fathers, not with me.
Now that I've admitted that people had a problem with me and have sought assistance from the good Lord and Ted Haggard's P.R. lady, I don't know if there will even *be* any protest this Sunday. But I am sure that as James said, when times get tough and people resist my influence, they will only make me try harder. I thank them for that.

That would fit the pattern with narcissistic personality disorder. They believe, often subconsciously, that they have a terrible flaw that they cannot face, and then they totally over-compensate and go into a tailspin of denial and repression.
I've never seen anyone so arrogant with less reason. The only thing he seems to be good at is separating fools from their money.

New charges filed in teacher murder caseTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 24,2013ST. JOHNSBURY New charges have been filed against a couple accused of killing a St. Johnsbury teacher.
Allen and Patricia Prue already face murder charges in connection with the March 2012 death of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins. Both have pleaded not guilty.
The new charges of conspiracy to commit murder and kidnapping were filed against the Prues last week by Caledonia County States Attorney Lisa Warren.
Prosecutors also filed charges on eight counts of possession of child pornography against Patricia Prue after finding multiple images on her laptop computer.
The Prues are accused of luring Jenkins from her Danville home, strangling her and dumping her body in the Connecticut River.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Hi, another thanks for great plugin.
Find an issue:
If add

into additional settings, the strange behavior of conformation message. Any messages like "Failed", "Spam" appear, but "Good". Even if to embed custom [response] shortcode it doesn't affect appearing "Good" message.
After I deleted "on_sent_ok" from the additional settings it works just fine.
So, I have only two choices: track form sending or be polite to visitors to say them "It's OK with your message"
Could you please help to resolve the issue?

Best Practice Question - When to create a new class vs an instance?
This is as much an object-oriented programming question as it is an extJS question:
We are re-writing a LARGE application here at work. It was originally written in a tag-based scripting language and we are re-writing it with an object-oriented/ext approach. It's a huge project and I'm pretty new to true object-oriented programming. Our question, to be very general, is this: When is it a good idea to extend an ext class into a new class as opposed to just creating an instance with the provided overrides? Or, to phrase it another way, when is an instance of an object too specific to be extended into a subclass?
I'm not sure I'm phrasing the general question clearly, so I'll ask in a more specific way too:
I am writing a very small module that uses a tree to display a parts breakdown report. For this module, I am using an EXT TreeLoader object. I am overriding the createNode() method to display special icons for each tree node. My plan was to create a class file with and to extend TreeNode into a special subclass used specifically for this module. It would look something like this:
Ext.ns('Ext.ux.ConfigCompView'); Ext.ux.ConfigCompView.ConfigCompTreeLoader = Ext.extend(Ext.tree.TreeLoader, { dataUrl: 'config_data.js', requestMethod: 'get', //Override createNode to set asm and comp icons createNode : function(attr){ if (attr.component) { attr.iconCls = 'component'; } else if (attr.assembly) { attr.iconCls = 'assembly' } return Ext.tree.TreeLoader.prototype.createNode.call(this, attr); } });
Other programmers in the group contend that this class is far too specific and will likely never be re-used anywhere else in our application. Therefore, I should have just created an instance of the TreeLoader object with an override for createNode provided in the constructor call. Their reasoning is that creating a new class file and including it in the module's main page adds a level of complexity and ambiguity to the code for no added benefit. It's true that this class is very specific since the iconCls property is being defined and the dataUrl is hard-coded.
So when is it a good idea to break the code up into class files and when is it a bad idea? I was under the impression that it is ALWAYS better to break your code up in this way, but I understand the point of my fellow programmers and I want to make sure we are all on the same page before we continue programming.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. As I said, we're all fairly new to object-oriented programming (in the sense that we have never written a large application in this way) and we would love any best practice advice the community can provide.

It's a good question.
I agree with your colleague that the test should be re-useability. That is re-useability multiple times within the lifetime of the HTML document.
If there is only one "new" call, then there is no point creating a new class containing the specialized methods, and then instantiating that class.
You might as well just inject the override implementations in through configuration.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

I suggest to never modify Extjs comportment with override methode. I use override method only for patch ExtJS.
when you need extend ExtJs class, and you are sure that this one will be re-used, extend One, on other case, instantiate it and refined method that you need
in your case, with your class too specific, I propose to transform it like this
PHP Code:
var ConfigCompTreeLoader = new Ext.tree.TreeLoader({
dataUrl: 'config_data.js',
requestMethod: 'get',
createNode : function(attr){
if (attr.component) {
attr.iconCls = 'component';
else if (attr.assembly) {
attr.iconCls = 'assembly'
return this.constructor.prototype.createNode.call(this, attr);

I'll argue that extending a class is preferable for more than just reuse. It helps to have the scope simplified and helps developers keep their thinking abstract. Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that an additional include would be too costly: we minify all our class definitions into one js file anyway, so you're really not saving yourself anything by putting the overrides in the new config option.
You will end up with an include that has a nice scope that the devlopers can understand across all ext extend calls and even if you're not going to re-use the component your not incurring overhead that you can escape, you have to declare the overrides somewhere.
Furthermore, you might find that certain function overrides DO overlap, and then having simple extensions that you can chain together to create new components is definately valuable.
Bottom line is that you're not saving more than a few (50?) ms and understanding an ext extend call is all that is required to read the code.Wes

Scope is imposed by the caller, so any injected method will be called with the same scope as the original method would have been called with.
I just keep seeing apps where the developers are just all too keen to create webs of classes all coupled way more than classes should be, when at base, all they want is one specialized Component.Search the forum: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=01...%3Az7of1ufqccu

Hey guys -
Thanks for everyone's input.
Animal - Using one "new" call seems like a good general rule. However, what worries me is that I don't really know what lies ahead in the future. I'm having trouble deciding at what point I should be comfortable saying, "Ok, there's no way I'm ever going to use this object again because it's just TOO specific."
darthwes - I think you are making the same points that I've been making here at work. I actually think breaking it up into class files can make the code EASIER to read and debug. But I don't want to ignore the points of my fellow programmers because I think it is valid for them to argue that it adds some complexity.
I was expecting varied opinions on this and I appreciate everyone's response. Thanks guys! Hopefully some more will chime in and my group can make a decision going forward.

What did Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas say to Barack Obama last week in the Oval Office? Did he indeed express the view that the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip should be allowed to stay in place, as some reports maintain? Or did he say no such thing, as his aides quickly rushed to claim?
The White House has yet to confirm either version but, judging from the way the report was greeted in Palestinian circles, few believe the denials.
A journalist who was imprisoned in Iran has accused Press TV of colluding with his captors, in a programme for Channel 4.
Newsweek journalist Maziar Bahari spent 118 days in a Tehran jail after being arrested for covering the Iran election protests.
American Jewish organisations and the Israeli Foreign Ministry have welcomed Wednesday's decision by the United Nations Security Council to impose new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme.
Betty Ehrenberg of the World Jewish Congress said: "The WJC applauds the passage of this latest round of UN sanctions. It demonstrates that the international community is less and less willing to tolerate a rogue state that has an abysmal human rights record and continues to threaten its neighbours and the Western world.
It is crucial to understand the broader strategic context of Monday's events.
The Gaza convoy was organised by IHH, a Turkish Islamist "charity" with links to al Qaida and Hamas. It had the full blessing of the Turkish government, which connived in ensuring this mission would happen. In fact, the Turkish government actively sought this crisis for domestic reasons. It wanted to bolster its Islamist credentials and mobilise crowds at a time of declining polls. It also aimed to further corner the pro-Western, secular elites that oppose the creeping Islamisation of Turkey.
Brazil's President Ignazio Lula da Silva and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan have emerged as big global players after delivering a compromise over Iran's nuclear fuel following intensive diplomatic talks in Tehran.
Though not all its details are known yet, it is safe to conclude that this deal is even worse than the one it aimed to "improve" - namely, the uranium transfer deal that Iran first agreed to and then rejected last autumn.
Denis MacShane, who led the all-Party enquiry in anntisemitism, has criticised the President of Brazil for posing in photographs with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The Labour Rotherham MP has spoken of his "shock" and "profound sadness" in an open letter to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
An Israeli government official has called Iran's new nuclear deal with Turkey and Brazil a "trick", as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met cabinet members to discuss their concerns.
An agreement was signed yesterday in Tehran that Iran would ship enriched uranium to Turkey.
The enriched uranium would be exchanged for nuclear rods – which can be used in scientific research but cannot be processed to make weapons. However, Iran has said it will still continue to enrich its own uranium.
Iran has agreed to ship low enriched uranium to Turkey, but has said it will still continue to enrich uranium to up to 20 per cent.
After talks with Brazil and Turkey, Iran has agreed to exchange Iran's stocks of enriched uranium in exchange for nuclear fuel rods, for use in scientific research.
Although nuclear weapons need uranium enriched to 90 per cent, the deal deprives Iran of its current stocks of enriched uranium, which could be used in future bomb production. Fuel rods cannot be processed any further than their current state.
British delegates walked out of a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad at the United Nations, in which he attacked the US and Israel's nuclear programmes at a session on nuclear proliferation.
The US Department of Defence used the same meeting to call for transparency about nuclear arms – revealing it has 5,113 nuclear weapons currently in its arsenal.
The US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has restated the US's firm commitment to Israel's security and has warned Iran and Syria against supplying weapons to Gaza and Hizbollah.
In a speech to the American Jewish Committee, Mrs Clinton underlined her commitment to peace in the region, and condemned the transfer of weapons from Syria to terrorists in Gaza and to Hizbollah in Lebanon.
Israel is becoming increasingly concerned over the possible transfer of Scud missiles to Hizbollah, which would allow terrorists to hit Israeli targets more easily.

I'm working with a low-level API that accepts a
char* and numeric value to represent a string and its length, respectively. My code uses
std::basic_string and calls into these methods with the appropriate translation. Unfortunately, many of these methods accept string lengths of varying size (i.e. max(
unsigned char), max(
short), etc...) and I'm stuck writing code to make sure that my string instances do not exceed the maximum length prescribed by the low-level API.
By default, the maximum length of an
std::basic_string instance is bound by the maximum value of
size_t (either max(
unsigned int) or max(
__int64)). Is there a way to manipulate the traits and allocator implementations of a
std::basic_string implementation so that I may specify my own type to use in place of
size_t? By doing so, I am hoping to leverage any existing bounds checks within the
std::basic_string implementation so I don't have to do so when performing the translation.
My initial investigation suggests that this is not possible without writing my own string class, but I'm hoping that I overlooked something :)

Halloween Night, 1954. A young, film-obsessed scriptwriter has just been hired at one of the great studios. An anonymous investigation leads from the giant Maximus Films backlot to an eerie graveyard separated from the studio by a single wall. There he makes a terrifying discovery that thrusts him into a maelstrom of intrigue and mystery and into the dizzy exhilaration of the movie industry at the height of its glittering power.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

ISSUE: I was recently approached with this question: "Over the years, I have accumulated a few bird-shaped wicker baskets and have never used them. Before I discard them, I'd like to know if they have a specific purpose?"
ANSWER: I too, have had a few of these bird baskets fly in and out of my life and I used them to hold anything from an ivy plant to rolls. However, neither is – or was – their originally intended purpose.
In a land long ago and far away – in an era when homes did not have refrigerators – these baskets came into existence to offer a place to store the eggs on the counter.
With the invention of refrigeration, eggs moved from counter to fridge – placed in newer, wire baskets – and the bird baskets got banished to being more knickknack than purpose server.
The baskets are still being made and in many shapes, sizes and species. Some are even quite valuable.
Whether you keep them should be based on if you use them. If not, give away that which is more likely to serve a valuable purpose in someone else's life.
That said, the three pictured above may be flying to a rummage sale or Goodwill soon!

With the other $1,000,000 won a couple months ago, on 9th and Oklahoma, and now this one on 91st & Oklahoma, seems like all along Oklahoma Ave. is the place to be to win $1,000,000.....
Big congrats to Dennis and Mary! What a great Christmas gift for you!
I'm very happy that some local folks won a million dollars. Good for them.
But I hope they don't spend it all at once.
Let's forget about state tax for now.
What many people don't realize is that Powerball withholds only 25% federal tax.
The federal tax rate for income over $388,350 is 35%.
So come next April's tax time, the IRS is gonna be looking for that extra 10%.
Not to be a stick in the mud but just being real.
Thanks Happy, I didn't know that. I thought the tax was all taken with the payout. I hope Dennis and Mary enjoy and can save some.
Minus taxes, it is still a pretty penny. I too hope they don't spend it all on stupid stuff like new cars and a fancy house.
Dang, I was only six numbers off.
That's awesome, I'd rather see 500 people win 1mil each than to have the large amounts go to one or two people.

Released: Sep 01st, 2000
Running Time: 114
Director: Robby D.
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Lita Chase, Gina Lynn, Alexxxis Tyler, Wesley Pipes, Travis (I), Rayne (I), Olivia (I), Hunter Skott, Pat Myne
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of this line and those for whom the stripper aesthetic is a winner.
This production is rescued from three-star obscurity by its last scene, in which 18-year-old Alexxxis Tyler and not-much-older Gina Lynn tie into Travis and Pat Myne for a spirited foursome. Alexxxis possesses the kind of wide-eyed, guileless "Hey, this is fun!" enthusiasm about no-frills, no-attachment fucking that only women yet to suffer their first serious heartbreak, STD or date rape can muster. She and Lynn work the boys to howling orgasms, and then swill their spoo with giggly good cheer. Ahhh... dewy youth.
The rest of the female talent on hand sport big, not-so-nice augments and are hard in all the places Alexxxis is soft. They accommodate cocks in their colons, as Alexxxis does not, but their performances (save that turned in by Bella Donna with Vince Vouyer, which is also damn hot) aren't up to the last.

Trying to setup Eclispe. I am running ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick). Apache2.2.16 Subversion 1.6.12
The Eclipse help/about/installed software says: Eclipse Platform 3.5.2 Subclipse 1.0.0 Version Control with Subversion 1.1.1
The Subclips wiki I followed is here
I have installed the libsvn-java app as discussed.
I added the line "-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni" to the eclipse.ini file
I checked the Eclipse help/about/confirguration settings and both of these lines are listed:
I checked that those files are in those directories. Still, when I check the preferences>team>svn an error dialog shows:
Failed to load JavaHL Library. These are the errors that were encountered: no libsvnjavahl.1 in java.library.path Incompatible JavaHL library loaded 1.3.x or later required
I followed the "Testing JavaHL libraries" troubleshooting section at the bottom of the wiki:
I downloaded the tarbal and ran it in a folder on my desktop with no problems. Then, I followed the instructions and placed that file INSIDE the path (usr/lib/jni/testJavaHL) and ran it from there. There are 50 tests performed and each one of them came back with this same error (posting only one for brevity):
50) testCommitRevprops(org.tigris.subversion.javahl.BasicTests)java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/lib/jni/testJavaHL/local_tmp/greek_files/iota (No such file or directory)

Tests run: 50, Failures: 0, Errors: 50
Any ideas as to how/why the "local_tmp/greek_files/iota" is appended to the directory? I assume that's my problem..
I'm also having a problem with new>repository location = ...as the directory location of my svn repository is one level above the home directory - which is prepended to whatever I place in the dialog box - resulting in this error:

Sex work and the construction of intimacies: meanings and work pragmatics in rural Malawi

This article focuses on Malawian sex workers' understandings of exchange and intimacy, showing how multiple historically emergent categories and specific work pragmatics produce specific patterns of relational meanings. As we show, sex workers make sense of their relationships with clients through two categories. The first is sex work; the second is the chibwenzi, an intimate premarital relational category that emerged from pre-colonial transformations in courtship practices. These categories, in turn, are also shaped differently in different work settings. We use narratives from in-depth interviews with 45 sex workers and bar managers in southern Malawi to describe how the everyday pragmatics of two forms of sex work—performed by "bargirls" and "freelancers"—foster distinct understandings of relationships between them and men they have sex with. Bargirls, who work and live in bars, blurred the boundaries between "regulars" and chibwenzi; freelancers, who are not tethered to a specific work environment, often subverted the meanings of the chibwenzi, presenting these relationships as both intimate and emotionally distant. Through this comparison, we thus refine an approach to the study of the intimacy-exchange nexus, and use it to capture the complexities of gender relations in post-colonial Malawi.

I'm working on moving an application from ruby 1.8.7 to jRuby 1.6.7. We have some local dependencies of which we have two versions: one for ruby and one for jruby.
My gemfile looks this:
platforms :jruby do
gem "service_client", :require => 'service_client', :path => '../service_client_jruby'
platforms :mri do
gem "service_client", :require => 'service_client', :path => '../service_client'
When running bundle install I get the following error:
You cannot specify the same gem twice coming from different sources. You specified that service_client (~> 0.5.16) should come from source at ../service_client_jruby and source at ../service_client
Any suggestions?

And his answers? Hilarious! And,…

It's a question we find ourselves asking quite often. Just WHAT makes us so darn attracted to New Moon star Robert Pattinson?
Is it that chiseled face, his tousled locks, his brilliant smile, or the kindness he shows his fans?
Not quite, at least according to Twilight saga co-star Nikki Reed.
Oh, RPattz. There's nothing you can say that will make us like you any less.

The automatic rebuild of my sitemap never appears to work. Every time I go into the plug-in page it shows as having had problems.
Unfortunately I cannot say where is the problem. The plugin work under the limits (also memory also time) but cannot finish to complete the sitemap.
However, the solution every time is to rebuild manually. I don't change any other settings but merely click the rebuild manually link and it rebuilds the sitemap and reports it to Google, etc.
I actived the background option long times ago.
Why would this be?
Thanks a lot

I would like to think we get better--but with Les who knows. QB play, QB play it all on the QB play. Also need improvement on DL against the run. We probably lose our MLB and that will hurt. Looks like about the same as this year unless QB play improves....Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1)

re: Can we as a fan base not recognize that young QB's develop over time? - dljtigers on 12/12/15 at 6:10 pm
None of this matters. What matters is the product you put on the field. Bama, Ark., Ole Miss, Miss St. and Auburn all have to play a QB each year. We have struggled to put a QB on the field who can run the offense with any rhythm--except Mett. I don't care how you get it done but you HAVE to h...Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0)
re: where is the patience for another n.c.? - dljtigers on 12/7/15 at 6:22 am
Don't hope to win but at best 1 natty every 10 yrs. Which is a lot but given LSU's current situation--money, recruiting, facilities I can hope for 1 every 10 years. But, I do expect the product on the field to be competitive. The offensive side and special teams were not this year against the S...Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0)
