Going to try and start doing more of these as we go along and with all that's been happening around the program this seems as good a time as any break out the mailbag.
So, if you have any questions you'd like to have answers, just shoot me an email to email@example.com or hit me up on Twitter at @pauldehnerjr. Any topic, off topic, it doesn't matter to me. Look forward to hearing from everybody.
Just remember, everybody, when you control the mail, you control ... information.
From Michael: I have a question that might require some research.
In the past 10 years, how many Div 1 football players actually graduated under the head coaches who recruited them? Likewise, how many see 2 or more head coaching changes before they graduate?
The reason I ask, is that so many local commentators talk about the UC dilemma of players losing their coach. However, I am not sure that the UC numbers are all that "bad" or "out of line" compared to the average (mean or median) of all programs.
That's a great question, Micheal, and as any reader of this blog knows, there are few posts I enjoy more than a statistical analysis. So, here's what my research churned out for you.
In order for a coach to recruit a player, then see him graduate, they'd need at least a five-year reign, maybe more. So, for the sake of argument, here are the number of current FBS coaches who have been at their program for the last five years:
A total of 31 out of 124 current head coaches served their first season in 2008 or earlier, meaning they've seen at least one recruiting class from beginning to end. In the other 93 programs, no current player saw the same coach from recruit to graduation.
Also, zero of the current Big East programs employed the same coach for a five-year tenure. As of now Syracuse's Doug Marrone, who was hired for the 2009 season, becomes the longest standing coach in the conference. Would a Frank Beamer or Bob Stoops be ideal? Absolutely. But those two are far in the minority.
From Robert: Cincy got a much better coach than Butch. Butch chose to leave behind David Johnson, his tight ends coach who joined him in Aug, 2011 after Butch's terrible first season in 2010. Johnson did a fantastic job with the tight ends , especially Travis Kelce. Johnson was recognized as one of the best tight ends coaches in the SEC conference during his seven years at UGA and was considered a great recruiter during the same period that Tuberville was at Auburn. Johnson did a fine job at WVU for three years as O-line coach. David Johnson is a man of impeccable character but was not one of Butch's buddies from CMU. Butch might come to to regret taking Mark Elder instead of Johnson with his experience in the SEC?
Nobody can deny the work Johnson did with Travis Kelce. He just turned in the best season by a tight end in UC history and depending on how his combine numbers turn out, should be selected in April's NFL Draft. With such a successful run of tight ends, the Bearcats are beginning to develop a reputation as a tight end factory. When Kelce hits the league, that will place three Bearcats tight ends in the NFL (Brent Celek, Adrien Robinson). Really, don't discount the work Johnson did with Adrien Robinson as well. Remember, Robinson rose up draft boards toward the end of his senior season and ended up as a fourth-round selection of the Giants. How Tuberville's staff breaks down is yet to be determined and nobody really knows who will stay or go at this point, but no doubt, Robert, Johnson proved his worth at UC.
From Steve: I have been a season ticket holder for three seasons now. Two of which have been with me living in Beaufort, SC. I have traveled well over 8,000 miles in the past 3 years to watch them play. I have shared my love for the City of Cincinnati and the Bearcats to friends of mine deep in SEC country. They now follow what the Bearcats are doing. Now if people in the greater Cincinnati would gave this program two seconds of their time. They would see what is being done there. And that it is being done with many kids from the Cincinnati area.
You are right, developing a deeper fan base continues to be the goal of the university constantly competing with the Reds and Bengals. Recruiting within the 200-mile radius of Cincinnati holds a top priority for Tuberville. Butch Jones focused much of his time recruiting the South with a definitive Florida/Georgia pipeline never before seen in Cincinnati. All that's fine and good and Tuberville should be able to pull a number of recruits from deep SEC territory considering his roots, expect a higher percentage of players coming from the OKI territory.
From Joseph: What happened with Armon Binns. He was doing so well at the beginning of the year, now I see he ended up in Miami? He was always a favorite and his catch in Pittsburgh remains my favorite UC memory of all-time?
Binns played well all through OTAs and into training camp with the Bengals. He earned the starting gig opposite A.J. Green, but when the team hit a four-game losing streak midseason, he fell out of favor with coaches searching for consistent answers on offense. Once rookie Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones emerged, Binns got buried at the bottom of the receiver depth chart and couldn't stay active for games. The Bengals saw a roster crunch when they needed a second kicker with Mike Nugent straining his calf and somebody had to hit the waiver wire. Unfortunately, Binns was the guy, but what he did early in the season caught the eye of teams around the league since both New England and Miami placed a claim on him. Binns will receive a change to make an impact on a Dolphins team lacking receivers. And, for us in Cincinnati, we'll always have this.
From Rick: Paul - Thanks for the updates in your article this morning. I will be watching for the up tempo pace. Last year Mick mentioned on his radio show that Shaq would be one of the best frosh in the country this year. I don't know what prompted this statement but to-date this is not the case. How would you describe his progress and what do you see for him in the future? Go Cats and a supporter of Mick.
Shaq possesses a ton of athleticism but for now he spend much of his time on offense worrying about being in the right spot. Cronin's pushing Thomas to play without thinking about it right now, the development is a process. After multiple games this year Cronin's mentioned frustration not being able to get minutes for him, but that's the downside of playing a spot where JaQuon Parker, Titus Rubles, Justin Jackson and Jermaine Sanders are in the rotation.
Give him time. When he starts reacting instead of thinking and reacting he'll be a force on the court.
From Al: What's going on with Jeremiah Davis III. He was great and I thought he'd have a bigger role this year, but he hasn't been playing?
Unfortunately, Davis suffered an injury to a tendon in his non-shooting hands. The last we heard about it was after Thursday's game. Cronin said they were contemplating surgery. If surgery is the answer, more than likely you'll see JD3 earn a redshirt year. That would probably be good for him because any time he's playing behind Sean Kilpatrick the minutes would be extremely limited and that's how Mick was attempting to groom him.
From Chris: Are you the new kicker for the Bengals? That dude looks exactly like you!
Just because a football player is bald doesn't mean he looks like me. Are you saying all bald people look alike? Maybe you're a baldist! Just kidding, of course, because I actually do look quite a bit like Josh Brown. I also look like Trent Dilfer. And Matt Hasselbeck. You pretty much can just pick a bald kicker or QB and you've got me pegged.

Wildcats lights out in state 'A' championship
MISSOULA, Mont. - For the fourth time in six years Columbia Falls hit the hardwoods against Dillon to be crowned state 'A' champions.
Dillon entered the contest with the two to one championship advantage and the most recent victory coming in 2012, but it was a different story Saturday night as the Wildcats took the 56-47 point victory.
"Oh my god, words can't even describe it I'm so excited right now," said senior guard Alex Presnell.
"Sending our seniors off with the victory, I'm still a junior I got to come back and do it again next year but our seniors deserve this," said junior guard Ty Morgan.
"Feels pretty good to go our our senior year and bring that championship back to Columbia Falls," said Wildcat senior Jared Trinastich.
Dillon was considered the favorite after having only two regular season losses, one to the 'AA' Helena Capital Bruins and the other from the defending state champion Stevensville Yellowjackets.
"We like that, we like having all that pressure being the underdog and that helped us, we came out and played lose and we got the championship," explained Trinastich.
"We had on our scouting report today we are the better team go get it done and we played with that attitude and got it done," added Morgan.
The Wildcats were without star player Jared Trinastich throughout most of the first half due to foul trouble, but they found success from a great team effort and great shooting from beyond the arc. Ty Morgan put a finishing touch on one from the left side to end the first quarter and you could feel the momentum peaking to the Wildcats side.
"That's what makes you a state championship team is getting contributions from many, many people and he was huge tonight especially when Jared got into foul trouble and fouls out," said Wildcat head coach Cary Finberg.
"It was huge I mean I went down with a couple fouls and we have some kids step up and play big roles and that's what we needed to get this W," said Trinastich.
"We shot the ball well tonight, I mean that's no surprise when you're the tallest team in the tournament and you shoot the ball that well you're going to be successful and we did that," explained Morgan.
In the end it was the Wildcats cutting down the nets and storming the court, but this class 'A' rivalry is long from finished with Columbia Falls returning eight juniors and two sophomores. While Dillon is only losing two seniors from this year's squad.
"We got a lot of kids back so the fun now begins for next year. Let these kids enjoy it then its back to work and see what we can do next year," said Finberg.

SANTA CRUZ - Job growth in May was strong in Santa Cruz County as the unemployment rate dropped to 10.4 percent, down from 11.9 percent a month ago and 11.4 percent a year ago, the state Employment Development Department reported Friday.
The addition of 4,600 jobs pushed the total number of jobs in Santa Cruz County to 101,300.
Three-quarters of the job gains were in agriculture, which typically adds workers at this time of year; the nonfarm sector added 1,100 jobs.
"Overall, it's encouraging," said state labor analyst Jorge Villalobos, noting the gains match the 10-year historic averages for May.
In the nonfarm arena, leisure and hospitality led the way, adding 300 jobs gearing up for the tourist season.
Hotel Paradox, which plans to open its restaurant in late July and rooms Aug. 1 after a remodel, recruited last month for a staff of 80.
Six other sectors posted gains in May.
Both retail trade and construction reported a modest increase of 100 jobs.
Target began interviewing last month with plans to hire up to 300 for its new store opening in July in the Capitola Mall, and Walgreens is planning to open this summer in downtown Santa Cruz.
No sector shed jobs.
Compared to a year ago, all of the major industries but the high-paying construction sector have posted gains.
The biggest gain was in trade and transportation, up 1,300 jobs from a year ago, with 700 in retail.
Leisure and hospitality was not far behind, up 1,200 jobs from a year ago, with 900 at restaurants and bars.
The number of employed Santa Cruz County residents grew to 139,600, which Villalobos noted is the highest since July 2008.
Typically the gain in May is 3,700. This year, the gain was 4,500.
These numbers includes people who commute to Silicon Valley, where the jobless rate is 8.2 percent, and Monterey County, where it's 9.9 percent, or other workplaces outside Santa Cruz County.
The local unemployment rate dropped substantially even as the labor force grew to 155,800, the highest in 22 years.
"Typically the labor force grows by 1,700 in May," Villalobos said. "This year it grew by 2,400."
The local unemployment rate, which had been higher than the statewide rate, now matches the state's 10.4 percent. Unemployment nationwide is at 7.9 percent.
Human resources consultant Joy Hallof, who leads the Surf City Jobs support group in Scotts Valley, said four participants have gotten work in the past month.
Two got what they were looking for, and two "had to think outside the box" to find work. One woman who enjoyed caring for animals shifted her focus and took a job with a dog-boarding facility.
"I'm so delighted they're getting something but I hate to see them go," said Hallof, who invites job-seekers to join her 10 a.m. to noon Fridays at the Satellite Telework Center behind Scotts Valley Market.
Another positive sign comes from her consulting work for the Small Business Development Center.
"I've seen more clients in the first half of the year than all of last year, and many are thinking of hiring for the first time," she said.
For job-hunters with rudimentary computer skills, Hallof recommends classes at the Profile Job Club at the Capitola Career Center or the other Workforce Santa Cruz County Career Centers in Santa Cruz or Watsonville.
The 10 local employers with the most help wanted ads in May included all three hospitals.
Others on that list: UC Santa Cruz, retailer Staples, headset-maker Plantronics, and CVS drugstore.
A quarter of the jobs advertised, more than in past months, were in Scotts Valley, Capitola, or the unincorporated areas.
Besides health occupations, openings were posted for retail sales, 88, retail supervisors, 80, truck drivers, 79, food prep supervisors, 70, and customer service, 58.
In Silicon Valley, tech companies Cisco, Apple, Google and VMWare doing the most recruiting, with more than 6,400 ads for software engineers to work on applications.Follow Sentinel reporter Jondi Gumz on Twitter: @jondigumz

One way to gauge the local economy is to ask how many months out of the year does Santa Cruz County have more than 100,000 jobs? It usually happens when ag and tourism peak.
In 2007 and 2008, before the recession took hold, that milestone was met for eight months, from April to November.
In 2009, it was three months, May to July.
In 2010, it was five months, June to October.
In 2011, it was four months, July to October.

No Assuming
There's more than what you see.
You see this design and you just ASSUME one (the girl) is good and the other (the robot) is evil. But what if we told you there was more to this story?
For example, what if we told you that the girl was a member of an abrasive dubstep group that was playing in a Battle of the Bands? And what if we told you that they were going up against none other than noted robot bluegrass group, The Robo Pickers? And what if we told you the robot pictured was the Robo Pickers' right-handed banjoist who employed the 3-finger Scruggs Style (named such to commemorate the achievements of banjo legend Earl Scruggs)? And that this image depicts what happens just an hour before the Robo-Pickers were about to take the stage? Thus illegally throwing the contest in the girl and her dubstep group's favor?
Now how do you feel about your ASSUMPTIONS?

When in doubt, follow the manufacturers instructions. Personally, I've always cleaned and lubed all new firearms before shooting. I think most gun owners do the same thing. We all like our things a certain way, ya know !
I'm new to guns, and everywhere i've looked says to strip and clean all handguns before first use. I bought a brand new S&W MP9 from the largest dealer in Charlotte (Hyatt Guns), and the guys was adamant that I should put 150 rounds through it before cleaning. He verified this several times. Even the S&W manual says to clean first. I'm leaning toward ignoring his advice and cleaning the gun before first use. Any thoughts?
When in doubt, follow the manufacturers instructions. Personally, I've always cleaned and lubed all new firearms before shooting. I think most gun owners do the same thing. We all like our things a certain way, ya know !
When I purchase a new gun the first thing I do is put at least 50 rounds through it. I go from the register to the range. The last gun I purchased was my Kimber 1911 and I put 1000 rounds through it before it ever left the gun store.
Always clean and lube before shooting... yes this is correct. For shipping and storage most manufacturers use a thick protective oil, and you want to get that off before shooting. People seem to give a lot of bad advice when it comes to this. The manual trumps anything you're told.
My lgs told me the same thing with my m&p. but I trusted the manual more that says before first use. It's an easy gun to clean and not a big deal really.
Disappointed. I thought you had purchased an MP9 which is a Brügger & Thomet / Styr Machine pistol
Only to find you just have an M&P
I've always thoroughly cleaned mine before I shoot them for the first time.
I agree, always clean and lube before shooting. My not help but it certainly can't hurt.
Maybe the gun dealer cleaned and lubed the gun already. The gun will show and display better before sale.
You don't need to to a thorough or detailed cleaning before taking it to the range for the first time, unless it has a lot of oil in and on it and/or a lot of debris in the barrel. The three M&P's I own did not come from the factory drenched in oil. So I did a cursory cleaning of the internals and the barrel before its first trip to the range.
In any case, you're best served to follow the manufacturer's recommendations in your owner's manual rather than some gun store wannabe-guru. It's truly amazing how much crap those types dispense under the guise of knowledge just because they work in a gun store.
I wonder what the reasoning behind shooting 150 before cleaning it was? What would be gained by such action?
Clean and lube first ...err on the side of caution
After a new purchase I usually take the time to cuddle up with a new piece, give it some love and attention.. Clean her all up and give her a nice proper lube job only then do enjoy some alone time with her!!
I clean and lube before first use, and after every use. But people do it all different ways, with no problems.
I bird hunt with some old s that use Benelli auto loaders and put several hundred rounds per year through them, and never clean them till they choke down. Some have gone through 6-7 seasons of heavy use without ever even being wiped off.
I would clean it only because I want to know what I'm running rounds through before I shoot it. I hesitate to shoot anything until i've had a chance to make sure everything is as advertised before I pull the trigger.

Divining the Future of Small Business Hiringby
Small business owners are bummed about the future, according to a closely watched confidence index by the National Federation of Independent Business. Today's report shows respondents cut by an average of 0.1 workers per business in June, and only a net 3 percent plan to increase headcount over the next three months, the largest drop in a year.
The advocacy group billed the report, based on responses from 740 members to 10 measures of economic health, as a significant overall decline, and its chief economist, William Dunkelberg, clearly telegraphed his pessimism in an interview with Bloomberg News: "The immediate future doesn't look good. Nobody really expects business conditions and consumer spending to get any better."
Of course, a slew of sources attempt to gauge the health of the small business economy. And they often contradict each other. Intuit's June Small Business Employment Index, for example, shows small businesses increased hiring by 0.3 percent last month, the strongest job growth in three months. Intuit's report doesn't rely on mailed surveys, as does NFIB's; it reflects data from 70,000 small employers (with 20 employees or fewer) that use Intuit's payroll software.
Beyond the collection methods, why the discrepancy between the two indexes? I called Holly Wade, senior policy analyst at the NFIB, to get her take. "[Intuit] is generally far more optimistic than we are with our numbers, in part because when they're looking at job numbers from their client database, they're small businesses that use payroll services," says Wade. "And only about 19 to 20 percent of small employers actually use a payroll service, so they're looking at a distinct population of people. Whereas we conduct our survey with a sample from our membership, which is more representative of the entire population of small business owners." She says about 90 percent of her respondents have 40 employees or fewer.
Economist Susan Woodward, who helped create the Intuit index, attributes some of the difference to the size of the businesses. "The ones who are in our set are really small small businesses. The average customer for the payroll service has four employees." She notes their revenue numbers "are somewhat consistent with the pessimism that the NFIB guys are displaying."
Woodward is convinced a small business recovery is under way; "it's just not as fast as anybody would hope." Our columnist Scott Shane weighed in this spring with a commentary that reinforces Woodward's opinion.

A friend of mine has a very nice 525td and he wants to go TDS, engine is in very good condition, so what parts will he need to do it TDS?
A friend of mine has a very nice 525td and he wants to go TDS, engine is in very good condition, so what parts will he need to do it TDS?
The main ecu on the tds has different mapping .
The fuel pressure regulator (held by two bolts at rear base of pump) is different,you can fit a tds one but not fit a td one to a tds as it will not pass enough fuel .
You can fit the inter cooler ,not sure if this will make much difference though apart from lower cylinder temps.
Tds inter cooler fits below the rad,it slots in one side and the other has a 10mm bolt that secures it,you need hands the size of a six year old to get that bolt back in.
Not sure if the td rad has the space under it for a cooler ??.
There may be other differences but these are the ones I know of ,in essence the extra 28 horses of the tds does not sound like much but the extra torque/grunt of the engine makes it feel like it has twice the power of the td.
Off the top of my head concerning the ecu's,the tds uses mainly 993 or 994 code numbers (these mean you need injector pump with same number to let it all work) I think the td uses the 995.
Auto box ecu also has to be the same code number as engine and box communicate with each other.
Maybe possible to chip it and fit the inter cooler ,this may require the tds fuel pressure regulator though.
TD and TDS use the same fuel pump, but the turbos are different. If its an auto you are probably knackered as td and tds gearboxes are totally different.

[nggallery id=little-racer_honduras_1_30_14]
Last night, two regional favorites took to Cake Shop's stage. Little Racer and Honduras: two bands that have had watching eyes burn into their backs since their signings with up-and-coming record labels, Papercup Music and Black Bell Records, respectively.
But first up was Journalism. Their smooth, indie pop sound brought a nice diversity to the slightly more choopy sounds to come. A kind of inviting post-punk, their songs were full of hazy sentiment and free living.
Honduras was next. We recently tabbed them as one to watch this year. They heaved through cuts from their latest EP, Morality Cuts, with Sons being a highpoint. Their angular garage rock is more smoothly foot-tapping than stomping, and set up perfectly for Little Racer.
This Brooklyn band has undergone great changes since we've last seen them. Leaders Elliot and Ish have been playing together for almost five years, though the band technically began in 2010. Things seem to have finally settled into place, and they exhibited incredible chemistry through their decptively mellow set. Songs like Punk Life and Fire Island rode along on a kind of surfy vibe. But by the end the band really got going as they started jumping around and rose into some dreamy instrumental zone-out. This was one of those perfectly matched local band lineups that are more rare than you'd think.

Caledesi Island- Paradise Found LbNA # 26562
|Placed Date
|Apr 29 2006
|Clearwater, FL
|Planted By
|Found By
|May Amelia
|Last Found
|Mar 19 2010
|Hike Distance
Placed by Seekher, Mumsie and Beach Bum.
I try to visit Caladesi Island at least once, every time I go to Fl. [usually in the spring] to visit my parents. The shelling on the island is pretty good [some days better then others] but the view is breathtaking! It is only accessable by boat or ferry so it's not crowded..which we love. When my mom [mumsie] and I [seekher] visit this is typically what we do: we get off the ferry, follow the trail to the ocean side, ditch our stuff on the beach, walk to the north [to the farthest point] and back shelling as we go. We love it every time, never get tired of the Island..you will see!
Check it out on the web site
The ferry ride starts on Honeymoon Island to get to Caladesi. There are minimal fees for getting on Honeymoon Island [?$2-$5] and for the ferry ride [$8/per person- Cost may change. Discounted for young children.] Believe me, it's well worth it!!
Distance to box- approx. 1 mile walk [all level beach]
From where the ferry drops you off [on Caladesi] take the trail that leads out to the ocean side of the beach [past the bath house/ restrooms]
From that boardwalk near the beach, walk north up the beach.
Approx. 1 mile, look for a place to rest [set back away from the water] in memory of Lillian & Frank Dwarkin. Facing the bench, you'll see a bush/tree to the left. Behind the main trunk is what you seek.
Hope you enjoy the beautiful beach!! There is a nearby boat rental place, off the causeway that you will pass on your way to Honeymoon Island [where you will get on the ferry]. I've often thought kayaking to and around the Island would be fun, we often see people doing it when it's not a windy day.
There are walking paths on the Island also. Just beware of going off the path..they say there are rattlers there.
Be sure to bring your camera, it's a wonderful location.
Please be stealthy with others walking the beach. Be sure to double bag the stamp and log book and re-hide the box well. Thank you.
Please feel free to contact me at
email@example.com with any comments OR to let me know if the log book is getting full. Thanks.

I'm just thrilled that she's so into this!
I'm just thrilled that she's so into this!
I'll take that as a no. *walks of with head drooped* that means no more pics.
Nomad...give the poor guy a break!!!
I am seriously sitting here, cracking up, trying to think of a smart-alec comment. :
Give up, she'll own you every time.
Adonian--haha! Any more advice like that that you want to give him will be more than welcomed by him. I'll make sure of it. (*cue the well-practiced wife evil-eye*) muahahahaha...
A'den... if he's got any TIME left on the honeymoon to make armour, well... I guess that's his problem. But the way I see things, ain't gonna be no time left for nothin' like that, that's for sure!
uh oh scrapbooking... if you need any help with that call on my wifey, she's got herself a whole station dedicated to scrapbooking. More room than my work area (the top of the trunk of my car)
We're married!
And back from the honeymoon which was awesome! A doctor friend used his time share network to set us up with a 3 bed, 3 bath, full kitchen condo in Orlando. It was freaking awesome. We swam in the resorts pool, lounged in our personal two person whirlpool tub, watched the sun rise over Lake Bryan, went on a casino cruz, and made a trip to the gulf to watch the sunset and eat ice cream.
But, all that being said, the wife is off on an SGA retreat till noon Tuesday so I have time to work on my armor!...and clean house....
There's a surprising amount of junk left to take care of after a wedding....
Anyway, Hopefully I'll be able to post some progress pics tonight!

Congrats vod!!!
It's gonna have to be a two way street, but you guys already have TDH in common, so that's a PLUS.
Better clean house vod.
I will actually wait patiently on this one, no whips
Congrats vod......don't start any arguments and if you do get that mando armor ready. You will need it LOL!
Fridge clean and organized, food from honey moon cooler worked into fridge, compost taken care of, Mexican lunch fixed and eaten, shower curtain rod fixed, and Mando armor in the making. Dang you can get a lot done when there's no one around to distract you!
A note on my armor itself:
After reading about how Adonian is doubling up on his plates I've decided to do the same, sort of.
What I'm thinking is to cut out another set that is a slightly different size that my current ones (may alter the shape too) so that when I layer them it adds not only thickness, but detail too. That'll mean buying more trash cans...We'll see.
Last edited by SaberMaker; Aug 16, 2009 at 7:03 PM.
Ok, Shoulder bells cut out!
I was going to go buy some paint, or more trash cans, or both, but I should leave that off till after bills are paid, school books ordered, and I look into buying/making a shelf for the closet that Nomad asked me about before she left...
That being said I'm going to go out to the garage and get my square trash can that I'm going to use for my back plates.
I've decided that since I'm not going to do a jet pack for a good while, I want just as much flexibility on my back as my front, so I'm going to alter the standard Mando templates for the chest to fit my back. I'm going to use the "square" trash can so that the plates are more flat. I tried using the rounded chest plates on my back but they were too round, they dug in.
So here goes nothing: at least if I screw this up I can be glad I got the can out of a school dumpster!
Last edited by SaberMaker; Aug 16, 2009 at 8:19 PM.
lemme know how the flat can works out, I just got a small (bathroom size) squared can to cut as shin guards or something of that nature.
Congratulations to both of you...
so, was it a Mandalorian marrige (did you get married in your armor)
It looks great so far, and good luck on the rest of your build!
Sup vod!
Did you marry mandalorian-ly, too?
In full beskar'gam?
Oh yes, and are making/did you order your helmet?
Congrats on your marriage.
Well What with making new templates and other things that came up and now school starting I don't have anything to update y'all with other than this: I made new, slightly larger templates by taping a sheet of paper to my breast plate and cutting to shape and then transferring that to card board. When I made the new ones I didn't cut out the area for the sternum diamond, instead making the internal edge of the plates straight. I then traced the new shape onto a square trashcan but only found time to cut out the Ab-turned-lower-back-plate. It's taller and wider that my ab plate and fits my back perfect. I'll post pics after I get the breast-turned-shoulder-blade-plates cut out too.
To answer bluejay's questions: We put a lot of time into planning our wedding working in several traditions from other cultures that we liked the symbolism of in an attempt to make our wedding beautiful, unique, thought provoking, and God honoring. But no, no beskar'gam, and no Mando vows (ours were the very traditional "plight thy my troth" type).
As far as a helmet Nomad and I are scraping money together to buy one of Saz's krayt dragon beauties.

Bilge pumps
I''ve got a Rule 3700 submersible pump in my deep bilge which is not easily accessible. If it''s not the switch, it''s the pump that''s acting up. I pulled, cleaned and replaced the pump and it worked for about 2 weeks. Nothing seems out of the ordinary; not clogged but sounds like it''s cavitating when it''s not working. The discharge has to pump 5'' of head and 25'' long.
This is my first experience with submersibles and was wondering if it were possible to replace it with a diaphragm hooked to the float switch. It would mean a world of difference when it came to maintenance.
What would you recommend? Thanks, Oz
Bilge pumps
Yes, you can install a Diaphragm pump c/w strainer on suction hose. Jabsco (Par) makes several, including the small #30705 rated @ 3.8 GPM Open, and the larger #34600 rated 10.8 GPM. Flojet makes a 5 GPM unit, the #4125. Others by Groco.
All have good websites for info''.
BTW: You indicate a ''deep'' bilge, but only 5 Ft of head (lift actually, total head will be more due to friction losses) - so sounds like your discharge thruhull is not all that high above W/L.

For the seventh year, Yale Law School associate librarian Fred Shapiro has released his list of the top 10 notable quotes of the year, and it's not unexpected — given the presidential election — that many of his top picks for 2012 are from the political realm.
Shapiro, who is also a lecturer in legal research at the Law School, has been compiling his annual list ever since he edited the "The Yale Book of Quotations," which Yale University Press published in 2006. He sees his annual selection of the best quotes of the year as a way of updating the volume. The yearly list is released by the Associated Press, and is picked up by major media outlets nationwide.
Shapiro says he makes his choices for top quotes on the basis of how often they are cited or how famous they are, as well as for being revealing of the spirit of the times. They are not necessarily admirable or pithy, he says. In fact, most of those that made this year's list are gaffes, he notes.
On this year's list are two from 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney and three from President Barack Obama. Remarks by Missouri senatorial candidate Todd Akin, Romney campaign adviser Eric Fehrnstrom, socialite Jill Kelley, Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss also made Shapiro's top 10. Finally — for the first time in seven years — lyrics from a song were included in his top picks: "Oppan Gangnam style."
Shapiro is also the author of "The Oxford Dictionary of American Legal Quotations," published in 1993.
For the complete list of Shapiro's top quotes of the year, visit the Associated Press story.

I gave a presentation at work today on Distributed Version Control Systems and Mercurial. We're currently using Subversion, and I'm nudging my co-workers into getting interested in the benefits of distributed version control over a centralized system.
The presentation starts with the pros and cons of distributed systems and gives a brief overview of the top 3 most popular DVCS systems:
I go into the details of why I chose to use Mercurial and describe some common usage patterns for people used to using Subversion.
I then did a live-coding session where I created a quick grails application, added it to a new repository, cloned the repository and pushed changes back and forth to show how mercurial handles merging and history.
I also suggest how developers can use mercurial as a "super client" to enable much of this power while still working on a team that uses subversion.
Overall the presentation was well received, and many of the developers seemed excited about the potential in a DVCS like mercurial. I know a number of them downloaded mercurial this afternoon and gave it a shot. I also spoke with our build guy and one of our architects who both seem interested in switching over.
If you're interested in installing mercurial, you can easily download binaries, or else you can go to the main mercurial website and compile it from source.
Here's the presentation (without notes):
I've also uploaded a version of the presentation with full notes on slideshare. Adding the notes makes it too small to read in their flash app, so I suggest downloading the presentation if you want to see them. The notes also include all of the detail in the live coding session (though you have to have grails 1.0.2 or better installed to get the same stuff I did).
I'd be interested to hear from others who have convinced their teams to switch from using a centralized repository to a distributed one like Mercurial.

Trying to find someone online? You don't need to belong to expensive genealogy websites in order to find information on people. In fact, there are several good techniques you can use online that won't cost you a dime As long as you know someone's name, email address, or phone number, there's a good chance you can find out what you're looking for.
A good place to start is people search. There are several online phone books that you can use to help locate old acquaintances or relatives, and online sites like Zillow.com can help find addresses through property tax records, which are also available online. Missingmoney.org can find unclaimed assets, Clearhq.org will help locate people who have had professional licenses issued to them and Pacer.gov can show you bankruptcy records.
The next step is to search vital and criminal records. Vital records like birth and death certificates can be acquired online through sites like Familysearch.org and Vitalrec.com. For criminal records, search inmate records at the Federal Bureau of Prisons website or check on sex offender registries at Familywatchdog.us. You can also see what your local courthouse has to offer, though not all records are open to the public.

Hey guys!
New to the subie world. I had a scion tC but I sold it last year because it was an automatic (dumb reason, but I get too bored and distracted driving auto ) and decided to give Subaru a try. So, I'm currently waiting for a sale to fall through on an 04' wrx. My goal is to jump up to a 11' STI, but gotta save money up first . Ill be poking around the forum for help/tips as needed.
Anyway, hopefully I will have pictures soon!

Dell has fought major odds over a lengthy period of time. The company has leaped forward even since the slump in the previous year, with the result of their recent financial fiscal quarter looking really good, unlike HP. Dell's trailing behind competitors, as they say, is so last year. Now, it seems like the enterprise is up for a big devices ramping season. One of the major Dell headliners is the soon-to-be-released XPS 15z that will challenge Apple Inc's MacBook Air.
If you recall Dell's first attempt to match up with MacBook Air, the Adamo flopped in the market primarily because of its very expensive price. As of press time, there are very minute details that are being fed to the media. Perhaps the only thing that is quite certain now is that this ultra-thin laptop will cost $999. In April, Samsung also attempted to compete with MacBook Air via the 13-inch Samsung Series 9 notebook.
Dell is also trying to intrude the wide-rainging Android platform, especially as the brand is not a very well-known figure in this sphere. To address this, Dell is hoping to get Android right on the money with 10-inch streak Pro Tablet.
With Dell beefing up to move ahead, competitors also have their share of updates and upcoming offerings. We've seen several new mobile gadgets in the marketplace including Sony Xperia Play, HTC HD7S and Motorla Droid X2. It was just last January at CES 2011 when Sony introduced its super slim Sony Xperia Arc, and now within 4 months, comes the Play. Reports on iPhone 5 are also causing excitement and anticipation amongst the tech crowd.
A very familiar face within the tech community, the world's largest PC maker, Hewlett-Packard (HP) is also joining the craze. A fierce opponent of Dell, HP has been going through rough the ropes these past few weeks starting from a mediocre Q1 financial result to top level shake-ups that dropped 3 senior executives. Despite the plummets, HP is still the one to beat when it comes to product releases. The company is incredibly confident about TouchPad overtaking the Apple Inc's iPad. Priced at $599, the TouchPad is a remembrance of its enterprise roots. HP has also introduced the following recently: HP EliteBook 2760p Convertible Windows 7, HP Elitebook 8560p and HP Pavilion g6s Sandy Bridge Laptop. Other non-HP Sandy Bridge newly-launched laptops include MSI CX640-018UK and Alienware M11x.
These abrupt upgrades and releases are testaments of the stiff competition and mounting demand for better devices.

Every year at this time I put together a round-up of my favorite Thanksgiving table inspiration. This year I had a ridiculous amount of photos that I was obsessing over, so I put them into four categories: simple, classic, creative, and glamorous. If you want to see one of the tablescapes I created for Thanksgiving, you can click here. For past years inspiration you can click here, here, and here.
What could be easier than cutting some holes out of a pretty branch and inserting votive candles? Simple and lovely.
Sometimes all you need is a little bittersweet set on each plate to make your table pop.
What about having a knit covered votive candle with a dried leaf at each place setting?
Use nuts to create an autumnal display. I love how easy this would be to recreate!
Of course their is always the ubiquitous mason jars. I am using blue ones for my Thanksgiving table this year, but you could use clear ones, fill the bottom with acorns, and then have candles twinkling inside.
Pumpkins are always welcome on a Thanksgiving table.
Here the designer used the classic pumpkin, but added a special touch by only using green and white. Notice the branches that have been cut to hold candles.
It is always appropriate to use the bounty of the harvest to decorate your table. Use an old slab of wood to elevate your display.
Or you could use a wooden trough or tray to contain your centerpiece.
Instead of glass vases, why not use produce? I love all the colors and textures!
Go bold by choosing one color and contrasting it with bright white.
Brown and blue is an unexpected color combination. The feathers add a delightful touch.
If you are tired of all the browns and oranges, why not add purple to your Thanksgiving table?
Break out your best china and then create an abundance of flowers down the center of your table in bright jewel tones.
Gold is always glamorous.
Try a formal Thanksgiving using printed menus, damask tablecloths, and gilded chargers.
Copper is especially hot right now and I think looks fabulous at a Thanksgiving dinner.

Re-thinking how we plan to address technically complex problems : drawing on planning theory to guide practice in revision of land use plans in coastal high hazard zones
Sloan, Mellini (2011) Re-thinking how we plan to address technically complex problems : drawing on planning theory to guide practice in revision of land use plans in coastal high hazard zones. In Proceedings of the Fifth State of Australian Cities National Conference, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, pp. 1-8.
Accepted Version
(PDF 446kB)
Queensland's new State Planning Policy for Coastal Protection, released in March and approved in April 2011 as part of the Queensland Coastal Plan, stipulates that local governments prepare and implement adaptation strategies for built up areas projected to be subject to coastal hazards between present day and 2100. Urban localities within the delineated coastal high hazard zone (as determined by models incorporating a 0.8 meter rise in sea level and a 10% increase in the maximum cyclone activity) will be required to re-evaluate their plans to accommodate growth, revising land use plans to minimise impacts of anticipated erosion and flooding on developed areas and infrastructure. While implementation of such strategies would aid in avoidance or minimisation of risk exposure, communities are likely to face significant challenges in such implementation, especially as development in Queensland is so intensely focussed upon its coasts with these new policies directing development away from highly desirable waterfront land. This paper examines models of planning theory to understand how we plan when faced with technically complex problems towards formulation of a framework for evaluating and improving practice.

James Otto Celebrates a 'Late Night' Thanksgiving
While most folks are spending Thanksgiving in their homes surrounded by family and food, James Otto is in the Big Apple gearing up for his first appearance on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.' The Thanksgiving night show is a special occasion for the award winning singer/songwriter in more ways than one as he'll be dueting with one of his musical heroes.
"Ronnie Milsap is one of my favorite artists of all time. I call him the Godfather of Country Soul," James tells The Boot in an exclusive interview at the Starbucks in Rockefeller Plaza, adjacent to the world famous Christmas tree and ice skating rink. "He mixed classic R&B with country music and to great effect. He had 40 No. 1 hits and sold millions of records. You can't beat that."
James and Ronnie will be performing 'Good Thing's Gone Bad,' their duet on James' current album 'Shake What God Gave Ya.' They will be joined by The Roots, who perform nightly on Fallon. "I wrote that song years and years ago and had done it with the [Muzik] Mafia. In the middle of the song, when we'd play it with the Mafia, I'd break into 'Stranger in My House,' because it fits perfectly," James says, referencing Ronnie's classic '80s hit. "We decided when it came time to cut the album to reach out to Ronnie and see what he thought of the song. He loved the song and decided he wanted to do it. Once it was on the record, everybody started hearing it. It's been a favorite in my live shows for years, but this version of it is the best version we've ever had."
James is excited about doing the song with Ronnie on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.' "It's time that he's recognized for the pioneer that he is," James says of Milsap. "He did a lot in country music and is, I think, under appreciated. So this is a cool situation to bring him into a modern country soul song cause he's the guy who basically invented the genre and gave it to the world."
James is also excited about performing with legendary hip hop outfit The Roots. "Not only are we playing the show, but The Roots are backing us," he says with a big smile. "It's going to be amazing. They are the greatest band. It's going to be a memory that I'm going to take home. If I can't be with my family, it's the coolest possible thing I could be doing."
Even though doing the show meant missing Thanksgiving dinner with family, James said he had no qualms about heading to New York for the show. "I get a chance to work with Ronnie Milsap and do our song on national television," he says. "And you couldn't have a better audience than on Thanksgiving. Everybody is going to be in their turkey coma, laying on their couch and watching TV, so it's going to be perfect."
As for just where James would be eating his Thanksgiving turkey, he says they hadn't yet decided on a spot. "Ronnie and his wife, Joyce, and Amy and I and Jensen [Sussman, his Warner Music publicist] are going to go hit a restaurant somewhere," he says. "We're trying to find some turkey and dressing and the whole bit."
James says after Thanksgiving with their family in Jackson, Tenn., one of his traditions is to pack up and head to Atlanta with Amy the next day for some Christmas shopping. This year they'll be in the Big Apple on Black Friday, but James admits he's a bit hesitant to battle the crowds. "I'm not sure I want to do it in New York," he says. "I don't know if I want to tackle Fifth Avenue on Black Friday. That sounds like a bit much for me, but it's a pretty cool thing so we may end up over there anyway."
On Saturday, James and Amy will be heading home to Nashville and three-month old daughter Ava. "My mom is at home watching the baby. She's been dying to come down and stay for a couple of days and watch her, so when we had the opportunity to do this, she came down to watch the baby and hang out at our house."
As excited as he is about the Fallon appearance, James confesses he misses being home with Ava. "That's the one thing about being gone for Thanksgiving that's a bummer is not being there for her first Thanksgiving," says James, who is over the moon about being a father. "There's a lot of great things involved in being a dad and you can just never imagine until you are one."
Catch James, Ronnie and the Roots tonight (November 25) on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' at 12:35 AM ET on NBC.

Last Wednesday, I made a Moroccan chickpea and squash stew. I'd had this recipe earmarked in Hugh F-W's River Cottage Veg Everyday cookbook for a few months already, and as spring is finally arriving, I thought it was time to leap into action before the stewy days were over.
So, here we go, with a few personal adjustments (for 4 people):
- Fry a chopped onion in sunflower oil until soft, then add a clove of garlic and a stick of celery (both chopped), half a tea spoon of ground pepper, half a tea spoon of tumeric, a quarter tea spoon of cinammon and another a small thumb of ginger, chopped (the recipe calls for ground ginger powder but I'm not a fan)
- After a few minutes add 50g red lentils, a tin of chickpeas (drained), 6 saffron strands, 250 ml of passata, a bunch of chopped parsley and chopped coriander (save some fresh coriander for the end!)
- After 15 minutes, add in the squash cut into big cubes, cover with vegetable stock and cook for 40 minutes. I added some fresh peas too, just 5 minutes before the end.
Hugh suggests adding orzo 10 minutes before the end, but I went more Moroccan and instead served the stew with couscous and harissa. Top with lots of fresh coriander.
That'll be one to dig out next autumn!

Translating Coordinates
Of all the GIS questions I field, coordinate system related questions are the most frequent. The following is typical:
I have a shape file of land parcels from Bonneville Co. and am trying to overlay that onto the County NAIP imagery. For some reason, when I have the same coordinate system and datum assigned to all layers, the NAIP and shape files are projecting at different scales and not even coming close to lining up. I've tried everything in my limited arsenal. If you have any idea of what's going on, please let me know.
The problem here is not a lack of understanding of the software, but misunderstanding concepts behind assigning and translating a coordinate systems.
Translate This
I've found language translation to be the most accurate analogy for making sense of coordinate systems in ArcGIS.
Suppose you're traveling on a ferry in the Baltic Sea (why not?). A frazzled tourist is running from person to person animatedly asking a question. Fortunately, you have a web browser on your phone and you call up Google Translate to assist. You are two dropdown listboxes away from understanding:
- First, you must correctly identify what language they are speaking.
- Second, you must indicate what language to which you want the information translated (most likely English)
You hand your phone over and they pound quickly into the keys:
missa ovat wc
You've selected English as the output for your benefit, but the original language requires a guess, so you randomly start trying local tongues.
Swedish suggests Ovat has bad aim...
Ms. Latvia haz Water Closet...
Ah, the Finn has to pee!
Ah, but how do we ask the Dutch crew?
Projections in ArcGIS present exactly the same problem. ArcGIS needs to "know" what coordinate system you want everything to be in, and it needs to know what coordinate system the different layers are in to begin with, so it can successfully translate. In some situations (generally where the datum differs) it is a best practice to permanently re-project the data to match the rest of your data. The most insidious errors occur when you incorrectly guess one or more coordinate systems and receive gibberish in response.
Idahos to the Rescue
So what to do when layers don't play well with others? Out here we bring on the Idahos. Or "Projection Finder" as I call it professionally. This is a layer I made that is projected in IDTM83 and displays where fifteen common projections fall to use in identifying projections.
How to use this layer
- Open a new map and add the Project Finder layer first. This is important as starting a new map and adding a layer sets the default projection of the data frame to match the first layer added.
- For the layer you want to determine a projection for, first make sure it has no projection defined. There are two ways you can do this: in Windows Explorer delete the corresponding .prj file or in ArcCatalog right-click on the layer, select Properties, select the XY Coordinate System Tab and spank the Clear button.
- Once the coordinate system is nuked, add the layer to the map.
- Zoom to the layer to to see in which projected Idaho it falls.
- Now you can go to Toolbox > Data Management Tools > Projections and Transformations > Define Projection and do just that.
- Once it is defined, remove it and re-add it to your map and it should move to fall inside IDTM83 since it now has a projection defined it is reprojecting on the fly to match the data frame. This is a good thing.
You're Finnished.
Oliko se hyvä sinulle? Osta minulle olutta.
- Projection_Finder.zip - Idahos Shapefile... if you are on the IDFG network you'll find it already in the SDE_Layers folder or in the Add Data dialog of IDFG GeoTools
- NAD 27 Idaho TM (Meters).prj - Projection File for ITM27
- NAD 83 Idaho TM (Meters).prj - Projection File for ITM83
Copy the projection files to the State Coordinate Systems folder for your ArcGIS installation if they are not already present. This location is typically (where DesktopX.X is your ArcGIS version number):
C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DesktopX.X\Coordinate Systems\Projected Coordinate Systems\State Systems

Sac Republic FC Game Canceled, Fireworks Still on Tenatively
A huge grass fire burned between 50 and 100 acres along the American River Parkway near Cal Expo Friday afternoon.
Bonney Field, Raging Waters and Cal Expo itself have all been evacuated, with Raging Waters handing out vouchers to a big holiday crowd that was spending the day cooling off at the water park.
The Sacramento Republic FC's soccer match that was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tonight has been canceled due to air quality concerns.
As of now, Cal Fire says tonight's fireworks show there will go on as planned.
Police and fire trucks are on site and directing traffic in the area. Firefighters are still on the scene, keeping the flames under control.
The smoke rising from the site of the fire was dark black and thick earlier in the afternoon, but is now dissipating and mostly white in color.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. One firefighter was injured battling the blaze, reportedly from heat exhaustion.
Stay tuned to NewsRadio KFBK and KFBK.com for updates on this developing story.
