One of the most frequent criticisms of the Bearcats over the last few years is that they shoot too many three-pointers. But after watching the
What's the point of feeding the post, if you can't convert?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that the 'Cats should pass the ball around the perimeter and ignore the paint, but with this team a wide-open three is probably a higher-percentage shot than a contested two.
In other words, if the Bearcats are going to continue to attack the rim, they had better start doing it with more strength.
"When you get the ball to within two feet of the basket, you have to put it in," Mick Cronin said after the 66-58 loss at Notre Dame. "If you don't make layups you're not going to win. Pitt beat
"We're working hard to get better shots. Notre Dame played man-to-man for the entire game and we only shot eight free throws. That's unacceptable - we've got to get to the foul line. Our shot selection is better, but we have to finish better. In the first half, we were 9-for-27 inside the three-point stripe. Somebody has got to put the ball in the basket from point-blank range."
At least Yancy Gates was aggressive offensively on Wednesday as he tied a career high with 16 field goal attempts, but he needs to take the ball toward the basket instead of falling away from it. For a guy his size, Yancy attempts a shockingly-low number of free throws. Consider this: Notre Dame power forward Tyrone Nash, who is an inch shorter and 30 pounds lighter than Yancy, has attempted 108 free throws this year, while Gates has attempted 58.
Then there's Ibrahima Thomas who has been in a dreadful slump since scoring 12 points in the win over Seton Hall. In the five games since, Thomas is 5-for-20 (25%) from the floor with at least two missed dunks and has scored a total of 10 points.
The Bearcats are trying to play "inside-out" on offense, but their recent inability to finish in the lane is a major reason why UC has been getting off to atrocious starts. A change in the starting lineup for more offense could be in the works, but a change in mindset is just as important.
"Our intensity wasn't what it needed to be for the first 25 minutes of the game," Coach Cronin said. "We're not dogging it, but I'm talking about beating a Top 25 team on the road. Part of our inability to put the ball in the basket is intensity. That's part of being locked in.
"We're a different team when we're down. It can't be the way. You can't drive on cruise control. You don't win a road race that way. That's the safe way to drive home, but that's not the way to win the

"Larry took a hard fall and we were scared," Coach Cronin said. "He is the fastest healer of all-time as he has self-proclaimed. Even when he was writhing in pain, he was declaring that he would play. I thought there was no possible way until he was dunking the ball in the shoot-around on Wednesday morning. He is officially the fastest healer in history."

text: So many young skaters won major championships at a very young age, and it seemed to stop their development as skaters. Looking at ladies (singles and a few pairs) who won major championships before they were 18: Tara Lipinski (98 OGM at 15)- turned pro and had an injury ridden pro career Oksana Baiul (94 OGM at 16)- turned pro, had problems with alcohol, and had a so so pro career Sarah Hughes (2002 OGM at 16)- competed for one more year; had little success, turned pro and probably had the worst pro career of all. Kimmie Meisner (2006 WC at 16)- continued to compete but had no success; finally retired Denise Biellman (1981 WC at 17)- turned pro and had a solid pro career. She was one of the exceptions Marina Cherkasova (1980 WC pairs at 15, with partner Shakharai)- had a growth spurt and grew too tall for her partner to lift her. They split after 1982, after missing the podium. Exceptions: Michelle Kwan (1996 WC at 15)- Had a stellar eligible career with 5 WC and 2 Olympic medals Ekaterina Gordeeva (1986 WC at 14 with partner Grinkov)- Had a glorius pairs career as eligible and pro, with 2 OGM, 4 WC and many pro championships. Some ladies problems were physical (growth spurt related), but some were mental. By contrast, men who won major championships at a young age do not seem to be hindered in their development as skaters. I will set that age to be 20 and under. Patrick Chan- 2011 WC at 19(?)- doing even better Ilia Kulik- 1998 OGM at 20- turned pro and developed as an artist without losing his jumping ability Evgeni Plushenko- 2001 WC at 18. Need I say more? OGM, 3 WC, Olympic silver Alexei Yagudin- 1998 WC at 18- OGM and 4 WC. Only injuries stopped his development as an athlete, but he continued to be a masterful artist. Dick Button - OGM at 18 (was it in 1948?)- Won another OGM and 4 WC

Artists Respond to 9/11: Studio 360's List
Countless artists in the past decade, from novelists to comic book illustrators to documentary theater directors, have grappled with the events of 9/11 and the War on Terror. Studio 360 listeners contributed suggestions for the most powerful works of art about the attacks and their aftermath. What follows is a curated list of crucial works, by no means complete or definitive, that help us make sense of what happened a decade ago.
"The Rising" (2002) - Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen's 2002 album of the same name reflects on the 9/11 attacks.
"Jesus, Etc." (2002) - Wilco
Although written before 9/11/01, Wilco's song (from the album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot) is shockingly prescient: "Tall buildings shake / Voices escape singing sad sad songs..."
"Fiery Crash" (2007) - Andrew Bird
Fear of airplane travel was common before 9/11, but perhaps no-one could have written a rock song of this intensity about that fear except in the aftermath. (From the album Armchair Apocrypha.)
Listener pick:
"The Hands that Built America" (2002) - U2
Featured on Studio 360 September 2, 2011
Scot Terban from Manchester, Connecticut writes "the whole song speaks to the diversity and resiliency of NY and its history as the island at the center of the world. For me, the line 'It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline / Innocence, dragged across a yellow line' is visceral because I was there working at the pit post 9/11." (The song appears on the Gangs of New York soundtrack.)
WTC 9/11 (2011) - Steve Reich
Featured on Studio 360 September 9, 2011
Reich's work, featured on this week's show, is part music composition, part documentary. We hear air traffic controllers and firefighters from that day, and Reich's friends recalling it afterwards.
Live in New York (2001) - Laurie Anderson
Anderson's concert took place just a week after the 9/11 attacks. You can almost feel the audience gasp when she sings "O Superman," written in 1981: "Here come the planes / They're American planes made in America..."
Listener pick:
On the Transmigration of Souls (2002) - John Adams
John Emmons from Oakland, California, calls the Pulitzer Prize-winning piece "haunting, moving, a testament to life and loss that has universal resonances." In a 2002 interview Adams explained, "I want to avoid words like 'requiem' or 'memorial' when describing this piece because they too easily suggest conventions that this piece doesn't share. If pressed, I'd probably call the piece a 'memory space.' It's a place where you can go and be alone with your thoughts and emotions. The link to a particular historical event - in this case to 9/11 - is there if you want to contemplate it. But I hope that the piece will summon human experience that goes beyond this particular event."
Let the Great World Spin (2009) - Colum McCann
McCann's New York novel, winner of the 2009 National Book Award, includes as one of its central events Philippe Petit's death-defying tightrope walk between the Twin Towers.
Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey (2002) - Maira Kalman
Featured on Studio 360 September 9, 2011
How do we explain 9/11 to children? Maira Kalman visited Studio 360 this week to talk about her children's book, which tells the story of an old fireboat that came to the aid of the NYFD in combating the WTC blaze.
Pride of Baghdad (2006) - Brian K. Vaughan and Niko Henrichon
Featured on Studio 360 November 17, 2006
This graphic novel tells of four African lions that escaped when the Baghdad Zoo was bombed by American planes in 2003.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007) - Mohsin Hamid
Featured on Studio 360 September 9, 2011
Mohsin Hamid's disturbing novel explores the effect of 9/11 on Muslims; his Pakistani-American protagonist, though successful in America, becomes sympathetic to the terrorist attack.
Listener pick:
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2005) - Jonathan Safran Foer
Featured on Studio 360 September 7, 2006
A favorite among our listeners, Foer's book addresses the effect of 9/11 on nine-year-old Oskar Schell, whose father was killed in the collapse of the World Trade Centers. Sneakers writes, "I've read a lot of good books, but not very many that compelled me to contact the author when I was done.... it was beautiful, sad, touching and yet, funny. If you haven't read it, you should."
Open Shutters (2003) - Mary Jo Salter
Salter explores tragedy, and the 9/11 attacks in particular, in this collection.
"I Saw You Walking" (2007) - Deborah Garrison
Written immediately after the attack, Garrison's poem describes an encounter with a refugee from the destruction of the towers, a well-dressed man covered in ash. (From the collection The Second Child.)
"Photograph from September 11" (2005) - Wislawa Szymborska
The photograph Szymborska saw is of people jumping from the burning buildings. Imagining nothing, she describes the millisecond of life frozen in the image. (From the collection Monologue of a Dog.)
"The Towers" (2008) - Yusef Komunyakaa
The poet grapples with his, and our, inability to comprehend an event as shattering as 9/11. (From the collection Warhorses: Poems.)
Listener pick:
"9/11 Out of the Blue" (2006) - Simon Armitage
Featured on Studio 360 September 2, 2011
Claudia Chadwick of Seymour, Connecticut, who lost her cousin in one of the towers, calls Rufus Sewell's reading of Armitage's poem "the best and most moving poem I know of dealing with 9/11."
Black Watch (2007) - Gregory Burke
Featured on Studio 360 October 31, 2008
In 2004, a regiment of Scottish soldiers known as the Black Watch was sent to fight in the Iraq War. Gregory Burke based his play on conversations with soldiers who returned from the war.
The Domestic Crusaders (2005) - Wajahat Ali
Featured on Studio 360 March 11, 2011
Ali's The Domestic Crusaders is a post-9/11 family drama. As Ali told Kurt Andersen, "It's about a family that happens to be American, happens to be Muslim, and happens to have Pakistani origins. If I've done my job, it's a universal story."
Listener pick:
Love Unpunished (2006) - Pig Iron Theatre Company
Liza Hawley from Philadelphia was moved by this play, set in the evacuation stairway of one of the World Trade Center towers. The show "personalized the fear and bravery of people escaping the towers," she writes. "It was incredibly moving and subtle and beautiful."
United 93 (2006) - Paul Greengrass
Featured on Studio 360 September 7, 2006
Greengrass's film is a real-time, dramatic narrative of what took place on board United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers tried to seize control from the hijackers. Our knowledge of the outcome does nothing to lessen the heart-stopping tension of the film.
Listener pick:
25th Hour (2002) - Spike Lee
Lee's film is about a convicted New York drug dealer re-evaluating his life before he begins a seven-year jail sentence. Brooklynite Sid Solomon says the film was filled with "stark reminders … that these New York characters are living, struggling, existing in a new world, one that is immeasurably changed, but continuing to move just as quickly and harshly and beautifully as it always had and always will."
Rescue Me (2004-2011) - Denis Leary and Peter Tolan
Denis Leary plays a firefighter who lost several members of his crew during the WTC rescue effort. In the years that follow, he struggles to suppress flashbacks, his alcoholism, and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder in the hopes of living a normal life.
24 (2001-2010) - Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran
24 aired its first episode in November 2001, and quickly adapted to reflect the concerns of the post-9/11 world, including fears of terrorism and government endorsement of torture.
Listener pick:
Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) - Ronald D. Moore and David Eick
Featured on Studio 360 February 23, 2007
Megan from Albuquerque calls Battlestar "an amazing way of exploring the challenges our society faced after 9/11.... Should we sacrifice our civil liberties in order to remain safe? Were these just niceties that had no place in a time of war? Or were they the very essence of our society that we should protect more fiercely than ever in the face of assault?"
Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive (2006) - Joel Meyerowitz
Featured on Studio 360 September 7, 2006
For 9 months after the 9/11 attacks, Meyerowitz documented the Ground Zero cleanup and recovery efforts in a series of moving, intensely colored photographs, as shocking in their sublime beauty as in the destruction they depict.
Tribute in Light (2002-present) - Creative Time
This art installation of two columns of light, emitting from right next to the WTC site, has become an annual memorial to the tragedy.
The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation (2006) - Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón
This interpretation of the government's report as a comic-book makes the official document into riveting storytelling, without hyperbole or exploitation.
9/11 Memorial (2011) - Michael Arad
Featured on Studio 360 September 9, 2011
Designer and architect Michael Arad's original vision of two never-filling voids in the Hudson River has become realized as two pools in the footprints of the towers. Kurt Andersen visited the site with Arad just a few weeks before its opening.
Listener pick:
New Yorker cover: 9/11/01 (2001) - Art Spiegelman
Spiegelman's cover for the September 24, 2001 issue of The New Yorker resonated with listener Robin Dreyer from Burnsville, North Carolina: "What seemed to be an all-black cover revealed, on closer inspection, the silhouettes of the towers — it packed an astonishing emotional punch."

I have horrible sun damage and skin pigmentation problems on my legs and arms. I am so embarrased by all this. I have been to local doctors who have tried simple lasers which have not worked.
I then went to a dermatologist for brown spots on my upper legs, the front part and a few on the sides. He used a freezing agent on them two times. The marks left now are so much worse than the small spots were.
Is there anything that can be done for these now or am I going to have to live with this dalmation-looking scars forever? Thanks.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Feb 7, 2013.
I like to think of the Pistons as "handicapable."
No, I think Joe is a woman (metaphorically speaking). Not that there's anything wrong with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No, of course not.
Tay is Gump. The Pistons are the bullies. The Grizz is Gump after the braces come off. Maybe if Tay can keep the Grizz around .650
Memphis had a 29-16 record (.644) before Tayshaun arrived. We will see which way they head from here on out....
can someone explain how Knight will learn to be a better point guard by playing the shooting guard spot? are you telling me they aren't willing to have him watch and come off the bench? BUT i guess it's hard to do when Bynum is dang near out playing every other guard on the team and serving more dimes.
Over the last 5 games with Calderon at the point Kyle Singler is averaging 12.5ppg (on 51% shooting) and grabbing 5.8 rebs/game. Calderon is making us forget about Tay but it's may be Singler's increased production producing the Tayshaun amnesia.
Not disagreeing with you, but wonder how much of it is also the fact he's playing his more natural position.
My new goal for this team is 10 games or better under .500. That is a record of 36-46 or better. or roughly a +3 games over .500 for the rest of the season. Realistically playoffs are out but if we can hit that ( esp with Drummond missing so many games ) I will be happy and feel as though some real progress is being made.
The Pistons are currently 21-34 (.382 winning percentage). They have 27 games remaining. Of the 27 remaining games:17 are on the road, 10 are at home14 are against current playoff teams, 13 versus non-playoff teamsContinuing on the season pace (.382) puts them at 10-17 for the remainder and 31-51 for the year. A 38% winning percentage is exactly the same as last season (25-41) and about the same as two years ago (30-52, 37%). This should be good for another #9 draft pick.
There will be a nice player there at #9. This draft is weak at the very top, but it has very nice depth. McLemore, Shabazz, Porter, Smart, McCollum, and Caldwell-Pope are all quality players who could help us.
After tomorrow (trade deadline) there will be no more need to showcase certain players. If they are still Pistons, I'd like to see Stuckey, Maxiell and BoT shut-down for the remainder of the season. We need to utilize the remainder of the year to get a good look at what we have and how it all fits together. I would play-out the schedule with the goal of answering the following questions: 1. Should we re-sign Jose? 2. Can Dre and Greg play together? 3. Can TRG be a primary backup? 4. What is Kenny's role? (Should he have one?) 5. What is Middleton's role? (Should he have one?) 6. Should we re-sign Teen Wolf? 7. What up with Jerebko? ...Keep him? ...Trade him? 8. Can BK be a PG who can learn from Jose and take over for him someday? 9. Given what we have, who should we draft? 10. Given what we have, what FAs should we go after?
Great plan. With the suggestion of shutting down 3 players and your top ten list, I cannot argue against any of these 13 goals. Actually, it makes so much sense, I see no reason why it will actually happen....
...Or we can pull out all of the stops and see if we can move from 11th up to 9th in the East.
We shut down 3 stars like that and Stern will be fining us like he did the Spurs, folks pay good money to see them and our sellouts will come to a screaching halt without them on the floor to root for.
I guess that you can add Victor Oladipo to that list. It's a great year for perimeter players.
He wasn't even on my radar until last night's game. Now he is pegged in the exact same spot (#9) the Pistons are sitting. 2013 Mock Draft | NBADraft.net
Shutting down our 3 stars......that's a good one...................I wonder if Stern could name 3 Piston Stars currently playing?
They have been playing around .500 for the past few months. I just don't see a 10-17 record to finish out. I would hate another #9 pick. So sick of it. Its like going backwards and the inevitable question of what good are they doing us if the record never improves. We have to do better this year - just have to.
Well, we effectively got a top 5 pick and a top 2 pick in the last two drafts. We picked up the starting front court for the next decade. Adding another top 10 pick is great. But we have to make our move, because these undervalued rookie contracts turn into market contracts.

Food Banks? Richmond VA
i wanted to know how the food bank works?
has anyone in richmond ever used a food bank?
is it wrong to collect there and see what the churches offer? is it wrong to go to several different places and collect stuff the same day??
i am waiting on social services..the interview is the 9th of Nov with a decision dated 20th of Nov i have called twice and left msgs for expedited services..no return calls as of yet.
i have food i have some cash..but i dont want to use the cash i have and not be able to have gas for job hunting and kids school or whatever comes up, plus i can try and pay a small amount on bills. then whatever i am not able to get at the food banks i could go purchased if it was a must.

I don't live in your area, but I used to volunteer at a large food pantry in St.Louis (I loved it...but, I had to find a paying job ) I would say it is morally wrong to go to several pantries in one day if you do not really need to. At the pantry I worked at, clients were only allowed to visit every two weeks. You might want to see if the pantries in your area have a time period between visits.10-28-2010, 11:16 PM #3

Good luck. I haven't used a food bank either so can not offer any advice or experience.
I would suggest going to your local food bank and calling the local churches. The Foursqare church I used to go to gave a small amount of money instead of food to those who asked. Two other organizations/churches that may be able to help are Catholic Family Charities, you don't have to be a Catholic, and the Salvation Army Church.10-29-2010, 07:00 AM #5
The food bank I went to here in Oregon handed out a list of other food sources so I don't think that anyone is counting the number of banks you visit. However they do keep records (My food bank had a nice list of times I visited on a cardstock in my paper file. I don't think there was a list on a computer.)
It does seem selfish to take more than you need. The difficulty with that is it is helpful overall to have a well-stocked pantry. There are income levels that are required. Those are some things to consider when going to the food bank.
Also, go to a food bank before deciding how much/many you need. The food bank I went to was the donation site for Trader Joe's. While it claimed to give out three days of emergency food, it gave out a TON of fresh food that was "free" or not considered part of the three days. Loaves of bread allowed per family unit varied according to how many loaves they had. I have never seen the limit less than six. Of course because the free per family unit number was the same as a single person I "made out" really well with that. I made a list of what I got from the food bank here on the financial hardship site.
So go gently to the food bank, you may or may not be overcome with food. And much of it may be fresh...especially now.

Pop your zip code in at this website and see what food pantries come up in your area:
Find a Local Food Bank | Feeding America
Some food pantries limit how often you can come and some don't give out much each time. I wouldn't feel badly about going to more than one if you need too. I'm sure you've donated to them in the past and will again when you are able in the future. Keep your chin up and do what you have to for your family.10-29-2010, 08:40 PM #7
Food banks are there to help you during a tough time. I highly suggest you go and get what you can. I know you are going through a really tough time right now.11-05-2010, 03:48 PM #8

I want to thank those of you who visit and leave gifts/treats. Be blessed.
On February6,2012 I said good night to Caspian, I stroked his beautiful lush fur and admired what a beautiful cat he was. I told him what a good boy he was and how pretty.He purred and held my hand. I awoke around 6am on the seventh. Caspian was sprawled on the rug.I went to the kitchen to get the catfood for the cats.I noticed they were all there except Caspian.I called,but he didn't move. I went over to him,stroked him,but their was no response.He was still warm as I picked up his lifeless body and began to cry.I could not believe he was gone.He was fine the night before,there seemed to be no signs of trouble.The vet said it was most likely an aneurysm.The silent killer.Caspian was gone.
1. You have crossed over now,
into the spirit realm.
May you walk with Bast,
and I will see you again some day.
2. Mother Earth, we return to you
the body of one of your children.
Her spirit will return to her ancestors,
and she will continue to live in our memories.
We are thankful that we were able
to share our lives with her,
and give her to your loving arms.
3. Bast, Sekhmet, we give you back your child.
Noble, regal, honorable cat.
Watch over her, and guide her on her way
to the spirit world.
May she be blessed in your names,
and hunt ever after beside you.
My family and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Samhain/Halloween! Samhain is the Celtic New Year celebrated by many Pagan people.

Re: Dot product confusion
your assumptions seem to be wrong.
The dot product in Mathematica isn't just "the inner product, but the
matrix product, in your case
ptsa*v or v*ptsa.
In the first case v is considered as column vector, in the second one as
row vector.
Matrix products are rarely abelian.

Overclockers will have spotted mention of the Clear CMOS button on the I/O panel but I had no need to press it at any time during testing (further adding to our annoyance at the I/O panel arrangement). Make no mistake I locked the thing solid a few times but if you cycle the Power button four times without successfully booting into Windows the BIOS will judge that overclocking was a failure and reset the speeds to default levels. It saves loads of time and means that you don't have to mess about resetting the date and time and disabling any features that you don't want to use. This is definitely something we would love to see on all motherboards from now on.
The BIOS is generally quite good although you adjust the front side bus in steps on the 'adjusted' speed such as 1,333MHz or 1,400MHz when the multiplier actually works on a 'true' speed of 333MHz or 350MHz. There's a certain amount of confusion as the BIOS indicates the current CPU frequency, front side bus and memory speeds but it is at the top of the screen and not alongside the figures you are changing. The other oddity is that our 1,150MHz DDR2 memory defaulted to a low clock speed of 666MHz. That's a simple 2.0x multiplier on the 333MHz front side bus of the E6750 but it seems very cautious as Kingston KHX9600 will easily run at 800MHz on standard voltage and zips up to 1,066MHz with a sniff of some extra volts.
There's a full set of voltage adjustments but it's not as easy as it might be. The CPU voltage adjustment is based on the standard voltage in steps of +0.0125V so you don't enter a value such as 1.35V. The problem is that you need to know where you are starting from before you pump an extra 0.1V or 0.2V into your new Penryn. Memory, VTT FSB, Northbridge and Southbridge voltages are entered as absolute numbers such as 2.10V which is preferable to my way of thinking.
Overclocking wasn't much fun as the front side bus would barely budge on standard voltages and the E6750 wouldn't quite reach a 400MHz front side bus so the maximum stable speed was 3.16GHz. The QX9650 processor is an Extreme Edition which opens up the option of changing the clock multiplier however the MSI didn't want to play ball and I couldn't raise the speed at all. It's worth noting that the 780i SLI Asus P5N-T refused to run with the QX9650 at all when it was on the test bench one month ago. This suggests that the combination of the chipset and BIOS are to blame and further development will yield benefits.
MSI is selling the P7N in a bundle with a Zalman NP9500 cooler under the Zilent name. This is something we've not seen before and it certainly seems a bit strange but knowing the NP9500 is a very good cooler we certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from investing in the package. In fact, currently the bundle is retailing at a couple of shops for around £30 less than the board alone so it's a very good deal indeed.
If you plan on running SLI the MSI P7N is a decent motherboard, even though the IDE connectors are in a hopeless location. Those of you who feel that one graphics card is plenty should stick with the P35 chipset.

I'm with Larry:
Actually, the mere existence of soccer is proof of total depravity.
Well if football (aka Soccer to cross atlantics) is akin to total depravity them I'm happy to wallow in my sins.
thanks this was my first smile of the day
performing spring training "kicking drills" amidst the TULIPs again?
I am from the UK, (now living in Michigan) and I have lived in total depravity all my life… since I could walk I played soccer.
In the UK we have a phrase that states, "Soccer is a gentlemen's game played by animals, while rugby is an animals game played by gentlemen"
Ha! Obsession with sport in general is the real evidence of total depravity. : )
Soccer is The beautiful game and when played by greats such as Pele, George Best or Maradonna it is truly 'poetry in motion'. The most skilful team in the U.K is ArsenalF.C.
Rather than the beautiful game of football, enjoyed by the rest of the world, American football is depraved.
After ignoring the drugs that appear to be rampant in the "sport", it encompasses two of the worst practices of civilization: meetings and war.

With the Chargers and Broncos on the horizon this really is an important game.

The running game has plenty of options and I think they will get on track today. Cassel will finally start hooking up with Randy Moss and I see Wes Welker having a 10 or so catch day from the slot. The defense will start out slow I think but if they are close heading into the second quarter the confidence will grow and the play calling will become more aggressive. Blitzes and quarterback pressure are the key to today's game. I think the Patriots will gut this one out simply because they have to.

The Lazy-Jack cheek blocks were already in place on my boat. Apparently, some PO had lazy jacks, and I simply had to re-invent them.
The cheek blocks were mounted to the mast about 8' over the single spreader on my O'day 35. There was also a fairlead at the spreader to guide the Lazy-Jack halyard past the spreader without chafing. I factored this in by simply increasing the length of the line that I bought to build the system. If anyone is curious, I bought 90' of 5/16" Sta-set for each side, and had about 2' more than I needed.
Were I to start from scratch, I would have simply mounted the cheek blocks below the spreader, and bought 10' less line (80') per side.
Was there halyard slap? Yes - for a day. I bought three bungie cords at the local CVS ($4.99 for 3) and clip one end to the 'Jack halyard, and the other to the forward shroud (one on port, the other on starboard, and the third brought around the mast to pull port and starboard forward). Problem solved.
Re: E - Z Jacks
Here is my post on the subject:
Sail Delmarva: Adjustable Lazy Jacks--Done the Lazy Way
You could go with fixed lazyjacks. Folks gripe about them, but for coastal sailors they don't actually cause much chafe or much difficulty hoisting. Very nice lowering. The only time I retract them is hoisting single-handed in a breeze, or sometimes if I know I will be sailing many hours.
They're an easy DIY job, with a kit, or without.
Re: E - Z Jacks
Lazy jacks... we just made up a set with some small diameter amsteel, 4 antal anti-friction rings, 4 eye rings, and two ronstan composite jam cleats. I think the whole thing cost maybe $60 total, my time to do some splicing, and our foredeck guy one quick trip up the mast to luggage tag things to our check stay terminals. IMHO, making your own is a great DIY project. Splicing amsteel is very easy and a great intro to the sport in general if you have any interest in learning to do your own. For a 25' boat, it will be even cheaper.
Joe, you can use bungie cords to pull things toward the shrouds and away from the mast when they're not deployed.
Re: E - Z Jacks
This is on the list, albeit down a bit. Can you comment on any noise made when it's retracted? Is there halyard slap when the sail is flaked and the cover on? Did you put the block on the mast or attach it out on your spreader a bit?
Re: E - Z Jacks
FWIW, I finally finished installing my lazy jacks according to this diagram;
It required 6 1" stainless steel rings, and 8 double braid splices. I used red line on the port side, and blue line on starboard to remind me of the rules of the road. This took me about 5 hours to finally set up correctly.
I was able to PERFECTLY flake my sail for the first time with this system, and it took about 3 min to flake. In short, I love it!
Re: E - Z Jacks
I made a system similar to Joe and love them. I have been using them for 3 seasons. I made mine for $100 in material and a day of labor to fabricate and install. I consider them indespensible when single handing or when I have a full boat. I ended up make tapered eye splices for the connections to the stainless rings. They look great. For the ends of the lines on the boom, I installed pad eyes to the boom and run the lines through them and adjust the line lengths with figure eight knots. They are also stowable so I do not have them deployed when raising the sail and I do not need to modify my sail cover.
Re: E - Z Jacks
Lazy Jacks are very easy and inexpensive. I use eye straps on the boom with clips on the lines to make it easy to get the jacks out of the way. I also used shock cord for more flexibility.
Re: E - Z Jacks
We looked into E-Z Jacks and ended up making our own lazy jacks from the many illustrations available online.
The good part about home made is that you can fuss with the lengths of each component line to get the system set up just right for your rig. The bad part about home made is that you have to fuss with the system.
We started out with two lines---one for the luff and the other for the leach---and ended up with a single line. Also we started out running the lazy-jack-hoisting lines to the cockpit, but soon abandoned that idea as too complicated.
We used stainless steel rings instead of blocks to connect the V-shaped portions to the lazy-jack halyards; not only are rings less expensive but they are easily hooked onto horn cleats on the mast near the gooseneck so the whole system is neatly tucked away when not in use. Also, when tucked away, no modification to the mainsail cover is needed.
The lazy jacks aren't deployed for each outing; only when singlehanding or shorthanding, and then only shortly before dropping the main (keeps sail abrasion to a minimum).
Re: E - Z Jacks
I also had placed an order with EZ-Jax for a system. After two months of emails and phone calls between me and Mark Bailey, the company owner (877.585.9162), I finally told him to forget it, and cancel the order. To Mark's credit, he never charged my Credit Card.
I am sold on the system, but the customer service could be better. Perhaps it has improved?
If you decide to order, place a FIRM delivery deadline.
Re: E - Z Jacks
We got a set about 7 years ago, still working great. No comment on present state of company, but the system concept is definately a good one.

CINCINNATI -- OK, Cincinnati Bengals, can we have a heart to heart?
Your win over the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon was fantastic, amazing, stupendous, remarkable and any other adjective you can think of along those lines. The fact that one week after an uncharacteristic loss, you beat a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and his undefeated team, who everyone -- except Las Vegas, apparently; oddsmakers favored you all week -- thought would clobber you into submission, is something that bears applause.
You also ought to be recognized for the fact that despite a harrowing outdoor scene that looked like it was straight out of the Apocalypse, you held on, fended off Mother Nature and earned one of your most important wins of the young season.
Congratulations, you're back over .500.
But here's the thing, Bengals, football fans are fickle, as can be the media who cover the sport they so passionately love.
For that reason, the following question has to be posed: This time around, can we believe in you?
Can we, the voracious consumers of this sport you so courageously risk limb and livelihood for, take you seriously this time? Can we believe that now, you are officially, without a doubt, 100 percent able to live up to the hype so many built up for you this offseason? Can we believe this immensely-talented team does have the internal drive and desire to not only get by as an OK team, but to be a truly great one?
Essentially, what we're asking is this: Should Bengals fans start getting their hopes up again, or should they wait to see if you play down next week to a currently quarterback-less team in Buffalo that you should beat? The fans are on to your hot-and-cold style of play. Many of you are on to it, too. Like them, you know you have a habit of going into winnable games and, for whatever reason, not arriving.
"We can't do that. We can't be up and down. We can't be a roller-coaster team," defensive tackle Domata Peko said. "We've got to be consistent and steady. The guys in this locker room got the hint [Sunday]. We've just got to play that way every week."
Cincinnati, you know that in order to be taken seriously again, you must pressure every quarterback the way you did Tom Brady. Four-sack games were once a staple in your defense. Make it that way again. Pretend the Brian Hoyers of the world are just like the Mannings, the Flaccos, the Roethlisbergers and Rodgerses; you know, championship quarterbacks you've beaten the past calendar year.
In order to be taken seriously again, you have to throw for more than 170 yards and simultaneously rush for more than 160 like you did in your 13-6 win over the Patriots. That type of balance is your offensive identity, whether you believe you have really found such a thing or not. You have the horses, so keep figuring out ways to get the ball into Giovani Bernard's and BenJarvus Green-Ellis' hands. Keep tossing it to Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert. Keep looking for A.J. Green, Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu. Don't deviate from that plan. If you do, you'll have a repeat of last week's bitter mood.
You don't want that.
Coach Marvin Lewis was so disgusted by that loss that he put you all through practices last week that were as close to training camp levels of intensity and physicality as the NFL would let him employ.
"We were ready," defensive end Wallace Gilberry said. "When you feel like your back is against the wall, that's how you come out fighting. You want to hit whoever it is, first. And when you hit them, you don't really want to give them a chance to hit you back. That's the mindset I take out there, and I'm quite sure I got 10 other guys feeling the same way. I don't care which quarterback you bring and what your case may be, when our back is against the wall, we fight you. So that's the results you get when you got 11 guys swinging and throwing haymakers for four quarters. You make stuff happen."
Gilberry wasn't the only one feeling inspired by the intense workouts. Green-Ellis, en route to his 19-carry, 67-yard performance, was, too.
"We hate losing around here, and anytime you lose, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth," Green-Ellis said, referencing last week's disappointment after a 17-6 loss at Cleveland. "We were anxious to go out [Sunday] whether it was rain, sleet or snow, monsoon, hurricane, tornado. We just wanted to go out and get the 'W.'"
It's fitting "monsoon" was one of the weather elements he invoked. Late in the fourth quarter, during a crucial Patriots drive, sheets of rain settled into Paul Brown Stadium. They soaked the venue so much that it was hard for spectators in the rafters to even see you all moving around the field. Many probably wondered how you even saw the ball.
Apparently, the Patriots couldn't see it, either. On a six-pass drive that started inside the final two minutes, Brady threw four incomplete passes and one interception. Just before the pickoff, the clouds began to lift, the rains started to ease. The precipitation had slowed just enough for Adam Jones to track Brady's deep, hopeful, potentially game-tying throw and tip it into the air, before securing it in his hands as he landed awkwardly. Even though 16 seconds remained, the Patriots were out of timeouts. The game had been iced.
You, as a team, had won.
Just like the Week 2 win over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, a solid ground game complemented the passing attack. Just like the Week 3 victory over Green Bay, a big defensive play late effectively preserved a win.
You need more of the same, Bengals.
"As much as you hate letting a couple slip by here and there, you're going to have to win more," center Kyle Cook said. "We've already dropped two, so obviously we're going to need to go on some good streaks. But what better way to start it off? We have a hard one against us this week to go to Buffalo. As a team, we have to come together and not only play well at home, but play well on the road."
It all goes back to consistency. Play the way you did Sunday, and you'll start seeing people believe in you again, too.

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race
Missed the shirt? Click here to get it after June 18th!
That's a neat texture on the speaker.
Cool shirt. For some reason reminds me of 1984.
This shirt is why I won't buy randoms anymore. Why are we getting some of the most uninspired designs by decent artists?
WeezTheJuice wrote:Hmm, the shape of the tv is kind of odd. I get it that its more of a vintage look but I don't think I would recognize that as a tv without the caption.
Perhaps because it is a radio.

Yeah, it made me think of it as well, because the people watched as well as were watched through the telescreen
WeezTheJuice wrote:Hmm, the shape of the tv is kind of odd.
That's cause it's a radio
Oh noes, my TV is watching me and my radio is talking to me!
reminded me of that right away =)
In a derby this would probably be rejected as an "In soviet Russia..." theme.
Is it a TV or a Radio? Is the radio ratting out on the TV? Or is this a TV ratting out on another TV? I'm confused...
eHalcyon wrote:That's a neat texture on the speaker.
That looks like an unprintable texture.
not my color.
like the idea.
Where have all the good designs gone?
flipmeister thrice wrote:like the little league kid that runs his hardest despite barely hitting it back to the pitcher... good hustle, but you got some work to do.
More like the with the child who can make farting noises with his armpit and does it hourly,
Wow... this does look like one of those gradients that won't print very well. Can Woot show us a sample shirt here?
Hmmmm, there have been other shirts that have made me whip out my wallet... this one... hmmmm.
Yet another shirt with corny text involved. Pass....again....
WizeGuyDezignz wrote:Yet another shirt with corny text involved. Pass....again....
My thought. Oh well.
This certainly isn't fantastic.... *sits on his wallet* Did this really get the necessary votes?
captainjasons wrote:This certainly isn't fantastic.... *sits on his wallet* Did this really get the necessary votes?
This is a daily shirt. This was not voted on.
heres the deal as it looks to me.... they don't look real hard when it comes to designs...and there is no voting on the shirts that go up as weekday shirts. so any design the lazy guy picks out they will print, cause it's just too much work. and lastly the shirts are printed on what ever woot has the most of... as in... yellow, cream...asphalt... you catch my drift. I'm just saying....
I'm just saying, any of the current top 15 shirts in this week's contest would probably outsell this one. Shirt.woot is approaching a saturation point and should listen up when folks ask for long-sleeves, sweats, or even just 16"x20" prints on decent paper. Also, they need to have holiday/special event contests a couple of weeks prior to the holiday/event so the shirt can be ordered and worn for the event without the $5 overnight shipping premium.

but that would mean they do something right for a change . . . and who wants that?

I Like it!
Why does it have to be yellow? Grrr, I don'ts wears yellow shirts
It is true, you know.
Yes, your television HAS been watching you AND listening to you over all of these years. Because of special research done in the mid-1970's, it has also been able to read your mind. The amazing thing is that everyone's televisions have a huge database of words, phrases, and even entire paragraphs that alert Big Brother under the right circumstances. That's why you don't see Fred (you remember good old Fred, don't you?) any more. How about that abandoned house on the corner? Ever think that you used to know someone who lived there and can't figure out why such prime real-estate hasn't sold?
Do you ever wonder what they slip in your breakfast double-latte that makes it taste so good but a little odd at the same time?
Ha! And they said he had landed a vice-presidency at Roller Bearings Anonymous in Quincy, Indiana. What they DIDN'T tell you is that Quincy is only about nine miles south-east of Cloverdale. Cloverdale my cloven hoof! A dale is just like a field, isn't it?
The monster didn't show up in New York, it actually showed up a mere hop-skip-and a jump from Indianapolis. Amalgamated Metals (who, of course, OWNS Roller Bearings Anonymous) always claims that they are sending their malcontents to Quincy when they are actually sending them to CLOVERFIELD where they can be hacked and slashed into mince-meat. Some far-off day, they hope to strike a contract with the SPAM(tm) company.
And all because your TV is watching you.
Uh, well, that fits the T-shirts' theme, eh? I've done my job, haven't I, my wootish masters? May I have a cracker now? cheezeburger? hug?
Anyhow, I don't know about television watching me or listening to me (primarily because I've only watched disks since 1995) , but occasionally policemen do and - unfortunately - don't do it properly or they don't report it completely. Not like I'm asking any of you to be amateur lawyers or anything (probably I just want a shoulder to cry on) but I got this citation last Saturday night where the policeman quotes me as having said a particular sentence. Unfortunately, he left off the last two words that I'm absolutely certain that I said. Just two bl**dy words. H*ll, he didn't even end the sentence with a period!
Interestingly, whether I said those words or not is not ultimately of any particular importance because (and don't tell no one I told you so, ok?) I was culpable: I done bumped somebody and it was all my fault. Of course, the other driver decided to be so p*ssed off at me that they refused to give me their insurance info or name or any of that (which goes against an extremely strong cliche I'm certain I learned in childhood), but of course I can get it all from the accident report. Not that this justifies what I did, I'm just venting a tad about them. (sigh).
However, the difference between the meanings of the sentence (i.e."with" in comparison to "without" These All Important Two Ending Words) makes a difference to me: kind of like, if you ever took driving lessons you were told to ALWAYS do some particular thing - like _avoiding_ running over dearest granny? In fact, you were to ALWAYS stay as far away from the old bat as you could?
There might even be someplace that if you were were often smashing into elderly women, you -would- be breaking a law? (Uh, running over little old ladies is probably against the law pretty much anywhere, but I digress.) My example here is a "rule or commandment of omission rather than a rule of commission", but perhaps if the story is sufficiently entertaining you will forgive me. It would be nice and -I- would like it...
In any case, your instructor would drill it into your head quite thoroughly so that you would find yourself, years later, occasionally whispering about it as you slept, bothering everyone else in the house?
Ok, let's switch backwards - that is, instead of never running over GrandMama, it is always to signal before a turn (not my problem, but I'm endeavoring to avoid forcing you to be soiled with the facts of my sordid life).
And let's make it seem real personal anyway - i.e. write in first person, singular.
So, I'm claiming I _did_ do that thing that you are always supposed to do no matter what, right? I really, really DID do it, but I did a crummy job of it. Heck, I -KNOW- I did it because I remember not doing well. On the other hand, the cop has _implied_ that I didn't do This Sainted Action at all by dropping off the bit about being my being incompetent in this one particular situation.
I guess I'm harping on the difference between doing something at all and doing it badly. At least if you do it badly, you DID do it. If you simply drop the bit about doing it badly, it makes it look like you didn't do it at all and ought to be condemned to the sixth level of Dante's hell. Oh yeah, perhaps also remedial driving classes, loss of several points on my license and a fine (above and beyond what my insurance company is going to do to me) of $200. The are all absolutely wild a** guesses, but investigating offices do a really great job of not telling you anything, particularly when you ask them politely at 10:30 at night.
Like I said, it doesn't change the one-word _summary_ on the citation ("inattentiveness") and the result (rubbing a big line in the paint of the driver's side door of the other person), but his quoting me wrong makes me look clueless besides. It also makes me feel as if he's been a sort of a liar (has not provided "the whole truth") and that torques my joint out of the socket as well.
Anyone who has read any of my postings here know that I probably don't rate better than a 50% clueful score in the first place, but you and I are all basically peers: having some judge, uh, judge me about this (probably simply because he/she/it is an authority figure), someone who is "above me in society" feels a lot scarier.
Just remember, if you hate my posts either report them so the get killed or skim past them. The censors, as kind as they've been to me lately, have been quick to nip other crud I've written almost before it has been posted. OH NO! I UNDERSTAND NOW! THEY ARE THE ONES WITH THE MIND-READING EQUIPMENT!
<knock on door>
<louder knock on door>
We know you are in there! Come out with your hands behind your head!
<the door smashes open, a long sequence of unnecessarily high-caliber automatic machine gun fire occurs>
Ha! Got him! He ain't no malcontent now!
I'd buy this if it didn't have text. I'm just sayin'
too nerdy for me. i don't think most people would take the time to appreciate this.
Whats up with that grill texture? i kn ow a derby shirt would get rejected on that comp....
Patchitect wrote:Whats up with that grill texture? i kn ow a derby shirt would get rejected on that comp....
I think they're still playing with gradients and textures for themselves. I doubt they want derby entries to be full of this crud, only to have the winners disillusioned when the print comes out horrible. They've gotta learn some how.
you reeallllllly need to get laid.
I, for one, would like a tutorial on how to make the screen pattern.
In the meantime, I've unplugged my TV. Just in case.
i like it. kinda. the text is bothering me. and the last lemon shirt i got ended up with uniball pen on it in some freak accident so i tried to rub it out with water and some hand soap at work and it didn't really help. just smudged it. and then i washed it and it didn't come out at all so now i have a lemon woot tee with brown spots on it and i'm effin' pissed because it's my favorite tee ever and bahhhhhhh im not buying it.
EwingKlipspringer wrote:I, for one, would like a tutorial on how to make the screen pattern.
Looks like a photograph converted to one color, imo. Not too tricky ;)
Whatever, I think the graphic is fantastic, the colour doesn't bother me and the Big-Brotheresquness of it is fantastic.
And I thought I was the only one who always said "Just sayin'".
...just sayin'.
It's okay. It's not a bad design. Sort of cute and funny. Just not something I enjoy enough to sport across my chest. Ah well.

You should tie-dye it. That's what I do with all my irreparably stained cotton shirts.
Also, I'm glad I haven't owned a TV in 10 years. I got the feeling it was watching me even when I turned it off. I finally hucked it out my living room window into the street because it was freaking me out so bad. Then I spent several months in one of those hospitals.....Yeah, actually this shirt is starting to give me the creeps.
It might be too late for this shirt, but next time you get ink on a shirt, try spraying hairspray on the stain before washing it.

Welcome to the Port Saint Lucie Church of Christ
Accepting the Bible as the inspired word of God, our objective is to "sow the seed" of the gospel of Jesus Christ and reproduce a first-century congregation of God's family in a 21st-century setting. It is through the Bible that we determine what needs to be taught and what our work as a church should be. It is within the pages of God's book that we learn how He wants us to worship Him (John 4:23,24) and how we should live our lives (2 Peter 1:3). Appeals to human philosophies, experiences or feelings are inadequate. Only truth as originally revealed in scripture is authoritative.

Thank you for your interest in our villas. We look forward to speaking with you!
Just a few meters away from Phuket's unspoilt Natai Beach, this three storey villa features four ensuite double bedrooms, all of which are ensuite.
Two of these four bedrooms are ocean-facing master suites, with breathtaking views right from the king sized bed. Whilst one of the mastersuites has it's own private terrace, the other masterbedroom has an ensuite with a one-way glass window which allows you to admire the ocean whilst soaking in the bathtub in complete privacy.
The spacious ground floor living area consists of an office space and a lounge. Within this space, there is a wall-mounted flat screen TV, satellite connection and an ensuite bathroom. A central wooden and glass staircase connects this lower lounge to the upper lounge. This upper lounge is particularly fabulous, with three of it's sides opening out to the pool deck, which holds the 18 meter infinity lap pool, which draws in the sea breezes. There is also a built-in barbeque pit which makes entertaining by the pool all the more easier and luxurious.
At the rear section of the ground floor, there is a fully fitted, branded, kitchen, a spacious indoor dining area and an expansive TV den.
With every need easily catered for, you will happily float between the indoor and outdoor spaces in the spacious Villa Aqua. True to it's name, it not only provides easy access to the pool, but is also in very close to the sea.
Our stay at Villa Aqua was perfect. The rooms were fabulous, and the layout of the space allowed everyone peace and quiet or a social space in equal measure. We loved it. The staff were lovely. Attentive yet low key. Massages were amazing!!
A week in Aqua Villa with friends for a 40th was wonderful. The villa team were attentive, the food wonderful and the villa perfect. The location is away from the crowds and a peaceful retreat.
The Villa is better than any 5 stars hotel I have ever stayed in The villa was better than expected. Very elegant and modern design. The staff were just amazing and the service was outstanding. Every thing was perfect. No issues at all. We had a wonderful time. We are actually thinking about going again next year.
Everything was perfect, the villa gorgeous and the staff exceptional Es (Sp),Pia and Noush were outstanding
Fun and flashy, Villa Aqua has a fantastic ultramodern design, yet the ambiance is cheerful, relaxed, and feels just right for the tropical setting. It's easy to settle in, whip open the heavy glass doors and let the sea breezes flow as generously as that champagne that you'll crack open to celebrate arriving at one of Thailand's most beautiful, peaceful beaches. The staff are equally as cheerful, and the maid always seemed to magically arrive just when a glass needed filling or a towel sourced. Though families are welcome, the sophisticated Sava leans more towards groups of adults – more 'hen party' hang-out than a mother hens' nest. We didn't party during our stay (we had work to do!) but with the fabulous entertainment system, the chef and the divine open layout, a barbecue poolside soiree is a must-do here. We were told that all the holiday villas in this estate have played host to some great events and weddings, and the management company can liaise with local event planners to help with larger events needing more staff and services. There's very little to fault with this villa, though, if we really have to be picky, being in the second tier of the estate means it takes that extra few seconds to reach the beach, and views are partially blocked by the villas in the front row. Although there's plenty of privacy here, and peace and quiet abound in large doses, the villa is part of an estate so it lacks the feel of a total hideaway. While we loved the sunny days, our favourite time was the evening, just after sunset. Sipping a glass of wine while soaking our feet in the pool, gazing up at the sparkling night sky to the sound of the waves – ahh, those tranquil tropical nights are heavenly!

Winds Help Singapore Avoid Haze
SINGAPORE—Smoke from an increasing number of fires in Indonesia is pushing air quality to unhealthy levels in parts of peninsular Malaysia, but, thanks to winds blowing in its favor, Singapore has so far escaped the noxious haze that reached hazardous levels last month.
The likelihood of smog in any given part of the region around Indonesia's Sumatra island–where most of the fires that lead to hazardous haze are located–is influenced by three main factors: rainfall, wind direction and human activity.
Satellite images show that the number of hotspots–areas of intense heat that are indicative of fires–in Sumatra totaled 292 as of Tuesday night compared with just 16 on July 12, according to Singapore's National Environment Agency, after hotspot activity declined from peak levels reached in late June, when the number of fires was also in the high 200s.
Haze levels usually peak between June and September, the driest months in the region, also called the Southwest Monsoon–referring to the direction from which the wind generally comes. When rain does fall, it helps to control fires, thus reducing haze.
Wind Direction
Even if hundreds of fires are raging in Sumatra, Singapore can avert most of the harmful effects if the wind isn't moving eastward across the Strait of Malacca. At this time of year, monsoon winds tend to dictate wind direction, in this case, mainly toward the northeast.
Anthony Tan, executive director at Kuala Lumpur-based consultancy Center for Environment Technology and Development Malaysia, says it is getting harder to predict when the monsoons will be active because of changes in global climatic patterns.
Winds have been generally blowing from south to north during the latest bout of hotspot activity, and Singapore lies almost due east of Riau in Sumatra, where most of the hotspots are.
"The low-level winds over Singapore will continue to vary between south-southeasterly and south-southwesterly," the NEA said. Singapore may experience hazy conditions should the winds change to blow from the west or southwest," the Agency said in its latest haze forecast.
On the flip side, parts of Indonesia and peninsular Malaysia that lie north of Riau have seen pollution levels rise. Unhealthy air quality levels have been reported in some parts of Selangor, Malacca and Johor states in Malaysia. Further north, Kuala Lumpur has been covered in a light haze over the past couple of days.
Human Activity
Cross-border haze has been a recurring problem for Singapore and Malaysia since the 1980s, largely attributed to palm oil plantation owners and farmers deliberately, and illegally, burning vegetation for the purpose of quick and cheap land clearance.
This is the worst haze Malaysia has seen since 2005, Mr. Tan said by telephone.
Last month Singapore's and Malaysia's air-pollution indexes reached hazardous levels when a lack of rainfall and ill-fated winds combined to blanket large areas with heavy smog. Singapore's three-hour Pollutant Standards Index peaked at 401 on June 21, the worst recorded level. The NEA describes a PSI reading above 300 as "hazardous."
On Wednesday, the skies were blue in Singapore. The NEA said the three-hour PSI was at 24 at 3 p.m., local time, well below the threshold of 50 that divides "good" and "moderate."
