Re: Shock Survive first round upset Shock up by 9 with 2 minutes to play in Game 1. GO SHOCK!
Re: Shock Survive first round upset Shock win game 1 by beating the Mercury at the FT line and in the paint.>>> WITHOUT Cheryl Ford!! They out boarded the mercs 48-30 Paul Westhead's team did what his teams to best >catch and shoot, but it wasn't enough as rough & tough Cappy Pondexter missed 10 shots in the first half and Diana Taurasi sat out most of the game in foul trouble. I didn't count but they must have launched 30 three pointers.... We may need to change this thread to "Shock go for three" or "Shock taking a crack at a Back-to-Back"
I didn't even realize the Shock season was going on until I saw that last thread! :nerd2: But I've been keeping up with the playoffs now thanks to this forum. Go Shock & Go Lambs! (Go get Flip's job Lambs)
Its good to see the Shock winning. Wonder what the Pistons are going to think when that championship drive keeps changing names and they are not the ones doing it.
It means Laimbs will have some leverage over Flip when Davison starts analyzing where he is getting wins, banners, trophy's and rings...
Laimbeer doesn't get the Piston's head coaching job. He does get a raise though for doing well. Actually, he may be better at player procurement. Any GM openings out there..............
Funny somebody over at DET-News site (Fleabag) mentioned that ESPN was all over or in Diana Taurasi's jock strap/draws or whatever and it did seem that way since her name was mentioned more than anybody else even though she rode the pine for most of the game. But when I watch the ESPN highlights this morning, same old thing. If my memory serves correct, the Shock won the game right? There were 5 highlights, one of a Kara Braxton putback, one Diana Taurasi three pointer and 3 Taurasi fouls. what gives here? I know she spent some time at UCONN which is in the same neighborhood of ESPN's home office, but we never hear Swin or Rip two other UC Huskies getting this much hype on ESPN. She must already be under contract to ESPN for the offseason or when she retires..
Re: Shock Survive first round upset
I was getting mad at the refs watching the last Shock game. Now I know that I have a problem.
I have lost all faith in the ESPN website. Does not help that any decent looking article is in the paid area. Maybe they will sweep and be done with it. Best of 5 here so winning the 1st game was huge.
Good article. I'm more convinced than ever Laimbeer can make it work in the men's league...but he'll need Rickey Mahorn at his side or they won't put up with him. Hot Shock win like Bad Boys
Mahorn is one big dude these days. Rick is great.
The Shock remind me of the 2005 pistons. I'd rather watch woeful shooting and domination on the glass than decent shooting and weak rebounding because there is a sense of despair that all those 2nd chance points will add up and if you cool off, it will be curtains for you.
Laimbeer failed to adjust in game 2. He tried to go inside and the Westhead countered with all arms. (and slap fouls that they got away with). The Shock didn't put enough hands in faces the three point shooters and when they did, the Mercury still hit them....16 out of 44 to be exact to the Shock's 3 of 20. Don't know if either team will have the same percentages in game 3, but it may be over for the Shock since they have not won on the road during these playoffs. Tweety Nolan was cold and Katie Smith didn't shoot....now that I think about it, everybody was cold... I am wondering if they should sit Cheryl Ford again as she probably took the Shock out of their offense as they were trying to feed her in the middle.
I missed the first 10 minutes of the second half and when I got back it was virtually over.
Great game tonight. There was a stretch from about the 2:15 mark of the 3rd quarter where both teams combined to make 8 shots in a row, including some really tough ones. The intensity was right up there with college ball. And Bill Laimbeer was all over everybody. If you are doubting his coaching ability, watch some of these games. One thing that is obvious is that he is making his team play harder than they would for Flip.
Great win by the Shock! I am totally impressed with the level of play in the WNBA. Fantastic games from Katie Smith, Deanna Nolan and Pierson.
I hope they can avoid a repeat of Game 2 in Game 4. Don't give this team any more confidence. I might buy a Shock jersey if they win it all.
I watched most of the 2nd half. It the most interested I have been in a WNBA game. The announcing was very impressive, they actually talked about the game. What a novel idea. No half screen cutaways to interview whatever shmuck was in the audience, they actually gave credit to someone when they scored rather than finishing their thoughts about a players personal whatever that had nothing to do about the game. Good job ESPN. Now carry that over to the NBA and please alert CBS and TNT.

Reality Check Recap: April 4, 2014
Investigators are looking into the possibility that Wednesday's Fort Hood shooting was the result of an argument. The 34-year-old gunman was reportedly arguing with a fellow solider immediately before the shooting that left four people dead (including the gunman) and 16 wounded. The gunman was being treated for anxiety and depression and was being evaluated for PTSD. So far, four of the 16 victims have been released from the hospital and three have been upgraded from critical to serious condition. Texas Governor Rick Perry is visiting the hospitalized patients today.

A huge storm passed through the central part of the states yesterday, including some tornados. One tornado was on the ground in St. Louis County in Missouri; others were reported around the state and in Texas, who also saw a lot of damage. So far, there aren't any reports of fatalities.

CIA records from terrorist interrogations after 9/11 are going to be released. The Senate Intelligence Committee has voted to declassify parts of a secret report that details how the US, under the second President Bush, used waterboarding and other extreme techniques to try and get intelligence. The CIA isn't necessarily happy about this.

And this story is for our left-handed friend Skeery: a new survey has found that left-handed people have better sex. They are 71% more satisfied with their sex lives than right-handed people. 86% of lefties said they were "extremely satisfied" with their bedroom adventures; only 15% of righties could say that. Maybe lefties have to figure out how to navigate in a world tailored to righties, so they get creative…..

And a new study shows that vegetarians are less healthy than meat eaters. Research out of Austria concludes that even though vegetarians are more physically active, smoke and drink less, and have a lower body mass index than meat eaters, they still have a lower quality of life. Vegetarians reported higher levels of disorders like chronic disease, anxiety and depression, lack of vaccinations, and took fewer preventative care measures.

And if you want a promotion, get yourself a nickname! People who do are more likely to land a supervisory position than employees who go by their full names. So use Liz for Elizabeth or Danny for Daniel. Researchers theorize that a nickname makes you seem friendlier and more approachable, which are key traits for on-the-job success.

And too much jogging might kill you. A new study found that people who run for more than a few hours a week have similar lifespans to people who never exercised. People who get a moderate amount of exercise but don't overdo it live the longest.

Before starting this tutorial, you'll need the following:
app/js/config.js with your keys (if you've checked out my source)
To check out the source, run the following commands (or use a suitable Git GUI tool):
git clone email@example.com:alexyoung/dailyjs-backbone-tutorial.git
cd dailyjs-backbone-tutorial
git reset --hard 9691fc1
The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to write tests so they don't need to use live APIs. The way this is usually done is through a technique known as mocking -- when the application attempts to talk to the API, it will communicate with a special object that we can control.
When testing applications that revolve around a custom
Backbone.sync implementation, you need to cleanly separate application testing from testing the remote API. We just want to test what we're responsible for, and run tests without an Internet connection! If you look at the way
app/js/gapi.js works, it relies on
gapi.client which is provided by Google. This is an easy target for mocking -- we can replace Google's library with something that returns sample data instead.
Sinon.JS does all of this, and more. Sinon makes it easy to "spy" on the methods that would usually result from trying to connect to the remote server, and these spies can easily be plugged into suitable assertions.
The basic approach I employ for testing Backbone applications with Sinon is as follows:
Here's an example in our application:
gapi.client.tasks.tasklists has been called to insert the new list
In Mocha/Sinon, that could be expressed like this:
suite('Lists', function() {
var spyUpdate = sinon.spy(gapi.client.tasks.tasklists, 'update')
, spyCreate = sinon.spy(gapi.client.tasks.tasklists, 'insert')
, spyDelete = sinon.spy(gapi.client.tasks.tasklists, 'delete')
setup(function() {
test('Creating a list', function() {
// TODO: Do the DOM stuff for creating a list
assert.equal(1, spyCreate.callCount);
test('Editing a list', function() {
// TODO: Do the DOM stuff for editing a list
assert.equal(1, spyUpdate.callCount);
// Example: Abstraction for testing
test('Deleting a list', function() {
// TODO: Do the DOM stuff for deleting a list
Save this as
test/lists.test.js and add
lists.test.js as a
script tag to
test/index.html (after
Sinon spies are created with
sinon.spy(). In this example I've provided two arguments to
sinon.spy, an object and a method. This causes Sinon to replace the method with a wrapped version that can count the number of times it gets called. It behaves like the original method, but makes testing things easier.
Spies can be invoked in other ways, but in this tutorial I'm just going to focus on this particular pattern. In general this is the part of Sinon that I find myself using the most when it comes to testing Backbone applications.
In my quest to keep these tutorials clear and simple, I noticed I made some changes to the app which caused the tests to break. That means you'll need to do a bit of housekeeping to get the tests to work correctly.
First, let's get the application views loaded inside a container instead of overwriting the entire
body. Mocha needs a
div to display test results, and the last version of the app caused it to be overwritten when the tests urn.
Add a new
div to
app/index.html and
test/index.html just after the
body opening tag:

You can hide this
div in the tests if you like, setting
display: none won't break anything. This change also requires that
app/js/views/app.js is updated to use
#todo-app instead of
body for the
el property (near the top of the file).
You'll also need to add some new
script tags to

There's one thing left to do in
test/index.html -- change the way the Mocha tests are invoked at the bottom of the file:
// Only run the tests when the application is ready
require(['app'], function() {
bTask.apiManager.on('ready', function() { mocha.run(); });
This is a good way to make sure the tests run only when the application's dependencies have all loaded and have been evaluated.
This is the version of Sinon.JS that I've used: sinon-1.5.2.js. Save it to
test/lib and create the
lib/ directory if it doesn't already exist.
To mock Google's API, I've simply overwritten the library it provides with my own object that runs the expected callbacks with suitable test data. I created this test data by using the app and looking at the Network tab in WebKit Inspector, so it's based on a subset of my actual to-do lists and tasks.
You can use my test data if you want to follow this tutorial instead of checking out the full source from GitHub: alexyoung/4730178 (gapi.js).
Save it to
test/fixtures/gapi.js, creating the directory if required.
Now when
app/js/gapi.js calls
gapi.client.load and logs in with OAuth2, it'll actually receive fake user data. I've used similar data structures to real values, but I've removed a few things like etags to make it easier to read.
test/lists.test.js can be finished off. Here's one way to test that lists are created correctly:
test('Creating a list', function() {
var $el = bTask.views.app.$el
, listName = 'Example list';
// Show the add list form
// Fill out a value for the new list's title
// Make sure the spy has seen a call for a list being created
assert.equal(1, spyCreate.callCount);
// Ensure the expected UI element has been added
assert.equal(listName, $('.list-menu-item:last').text().trim());
This test uses jQuery to click the button that opens the list add/edit form, then fills out a title, and subsequently submits the form. That will cause
Backbone.sync to run, and call an
insert operation from Google's API. Because I've replaced
gapi it will call the fixture instead, and since Sinon is spying on it we'll get an incremented call count. Boom!
Editing a list is practically the same:
test('Editing a list', function() {
var $el = bTask.views.app.$el;
// Show the edit list form
$el.find('#list_title').val('Edited list');
assert.equal(1, spyUpdate.callCount);
assert.equal('Edited list', $('.list-menu-item:first').text().trim());
This time an
update API call will fire rather than an
There is one curious wrinkle in these tests -- handling delete. I've used a
confirm dialog instead of a fancy modern modal widget, which means the tests will cause a
confirm dialog to appear. It's possible to stop the dialog from appearing by replacing
test('Deleting a list', function() {
var $el = bTask.views.app.$el;
// Automatically accept the confirmation
window.confirm = function() { return true; };
// Show the edit list form
// Click the list delete button
assert.equal(1, spyDelete.callCount);
The problem with this is it'll cause Mocha to see a "global leak". You can add
confirm to
test/setup.js to prevent that error. However, ideally we shouldn't need to do this -- coupling tests to implementation details like this is usually a bad idea. It would be better to design the application to allow the dialog to be turned off to better support testing. I don't usually mind adapting applications to make them easier to test, it can be beneficial in the long run.
To run these tests, launch the Node app with
npm start and then visit
http://localhost:8080/test/ in your browser. Make sure you type the URL correctly or the tests won't work due to the use of relative paths.
In this part you've seen how to write tests for an application based around a custom
Backbone.sync implementation. Sinon spies provide the perfect way to wrap internal parts of a Backbone application to write succinct test suites.
This particular type of testing focuses on the business logic represented by Backbone models, collections, and views. This ultimately helps in maintaining your client-side applications as they grow and change over time.
The majority of the source for this tutorial can be found in alexyoung / dailyjs-backbone-tutorial, commit 5b0a529. The final commit was 45dd59.

Grey is going out of style on Beach-area walls and wading pools.
Under the rail bridge at Gerrard and Woodbine, artist Evond Blake, aka Mediah, is spray-painting a landmark on big blank walls.
Down an alley behind Danforth Avenue's Dixon Hall, a huge new mural called Bee Haven is cross-pollinating with one couple's Alleyway of Dreams.
Even the kids in local wading pools got some colour this summer, with a blue tsunami rising off the cement pool at Norwood Park.
[flagallery gid=41]
Removing his spray mask to chat about his epic new mural at Woodbine, local aerosols artist and animator Evond Blake said he had been eyeing the empty walls for a while.
"This bridge wasn't on the radar," said Blake. "I've been looking at it for almost a year, being like, 'This thing needs to get dealt with – full scale, completely-detailed-on-both-sides dealt with."
Sponsored by StreetARToronto, Blake's designs for the two bridge murals and a matching piece for a nearby utility box got a thumbs-up from the Beach Hill Neighbourhood Association. Everyone liked the sandy yellows and lake blues, he said, though he wasn't thinking of the beach.
"Some parts of my art work have easier personalities," he said, pointing to an area where he was cautiously spraying sharp lines in black.
"Whatever I'm building right here is difficult – it's a little bit like a stray teenager. It's hard to reason with, and figure out what it wants in order to be balanced."
"But it's coming together now, starting to grow up a bit."
Painting almost entirely freehand, Blake aims to finish both walls by October.
"If you're walking under the bridge, the opposite side is for you," he says.
A short walk east of Main Street subway station and Coleman Park, another StreetARToronto mural was just finished.
Painted by artists Elie Saad, Sarah Van Duesen, and Curtia Wright with help from young Community Centre 55 muralists Ben Owens, Conor Belot, Sarah Buckner and Shy-Anne Lights, Bee Haven shows honeybees at work in the centre's largest mural to date.
Program director Evonne Hossack called it a "wonderful idea" that came about thanks to Sarosh Anwar and Mark Kerwin, a couple who have organized other murals in the same alley, including a rendition of Van Gogh's Starry Night, under a project they call the Alleyway of Dreams.
"We decided we're going to be stewards of this place," Anwar told the group Citizens in Action this spring. "We'll fill in the gaps between those little glimmers of art right now to create one long, continuous, critical mass of art."

(I taught Bruce everything he no longer needs to know about legal research, when he was an associate at Shea & Gould in NY. )
I would also like to thank Allen Pusey and the editors of the ABA Journal for taking the time to focus on these labors of love, law and insomnia. Most of the legal bloggers I know have a "day job" and yet we write, often late into the night. I am honored to have my blog named to the 2014 Blawg 100.
For Immediate Release: FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, DEWEY B STRATEGIC WAS CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE ABA JOURNAL'S BLAWG 100 ( Washington DC Nov. 24, 2014) - Editors of the ABA Journal announced today they have selected Dewey B Strategic as one of the top 100 best blogs for a legal audience. The ABA Blawg 100 are selected from a field of over 4,000 law related blogs. Dewey B Strategic was voted the top "legal research and writing" blog in 2013 and is nominated in that category again.
In addition, the magazine has added 10 more bloggers to its Blawg 100 Hall of Fame, featuring the very best law blogs, known for their untiring ability to craft high-quality, engaging posts sometimes on a daily basis.
You Can Vote Here: Now that the editors have made their picks, the ABA Journal is asking readers to weigh in and vote on their favorites in each of the 8th Annual Blawg 100's 13 categories. Go to http://www.abajournal.com/blawg100 to register and vote. Voting ends at close of business on Dec. 19, 2014.
Dewey B Strategic is nominated in the "Legal Research and Writing" Category.
Dewey B Strategic is authored by the Jean P. O'Grady a lawyer/librarian/knowledge strategist based in Washington DC.
"No longer to be confused as a fad or the realm of the tech-savvy, law blogs are rooted in the legal media landscape," ABA Journal Editor and Publisher Allen Pusey said. "While traditional media sources often break news, law blogs dive deeper to offer insight into what the news means for clients, the legal profession and the public. They are sometimes-irreverent watchdogs of the bench and bar. And the ones on our list are well-written and, more often than not, entertaining."
When advised of the nomination O'Grady responded "Who me? Irreverent?"
Seriously, I began this blog in 2011 because almost all of the legal bloggers covering legal research and legal information/technology issues were men. I just thought it was time to stand up and add a little "diversity of style and perspective" to the baritone chorus of "legal bloggers."

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I do not like that I need them, but I'm grateful to live in these times where I can have such excellent protective (I mean corrective--was thinking about how they double as shooting glasses) lenses. :-)
I am so blind without my glasses. I love em, being able to see is a good thing.
Why isn't there any "No, I do not need glasses" option? :/
I wish I needed them! I look killer in a pair of corrective lenses!
prescription glasses?
I get them in the Dollar Store.
Dose that count?
I used to wear prescription glasses. My vision was horrible (around a -11). Then I had surgery (ICL, and a follow-up Lasik procedure) and now I can see!
And yes, part of my reasoning was so I wouldn't be the person in the zombie apocalypse (or other horror scenario) who dies because their glasses get stepped on or knocked away and lost forever.
I wear glasses. Tried contacts, didn't like them - too much trouble. But I have a great time picking out crazy or odd pairs of glasses. I've had my superman glasses (blue), my Sally Jesse Raphael glasses (bright red with pointed corners), my medusa glasses (they had, literally, sculpted medusa heads on the arms), my disco/bling glasses (covered in gems and quite reflective to those around me). Of course, the classic big black, square glasses are a fav - that's what I have now, but a little stylized. I tried a pair of basic metal ones ONCE... couldn't stand them. I felt too serious!
I've had glasses since i was five. For a long time, they were of the thick bifocals in dorky huge wire frames variety. I got such a complex about them that when my mother gifted me with hard contacts at thirteen, I refused to be seen outside my room in anything but those damned hard contacts for ten years. Then my eyes changed shape enough to wear normal contacts, but I discovered the world of fun, pretty glasses and lost interest in contacts. I now have nines frames, two of which are sunglasses. I'm always on the hunt for more. (I actually have my eye on a couple of frames in particular, but we'll see when I can budget them in.) I do have a few pairs of contacts in a cabinet for emergencies or dressing up, but I'm lazy and just stick to matching my glasses to my clothing for the day. I have finally embraced my four-eyed destiny. (It helps that I look better with them on than without.) My eyes are currently -5.50 on the right and -5.25 on the left, with the left still a bit astigmatic. They actually improved significantly over the last couple of years (used to be -6.25 and -6.00). The Dr. says it's because one's eyes plateau at about 30. I think it's because magic.
Here's a crappily-lit cell photo of my current lensed collection:
And now you know.
I hate them, they stop me from having fun out of fear of them breaking.
I am saving up for lazer eyes! That'll show them.
im one of those unfortunate schleps who has keratoconus and has to wear hard lenses and often need to wear glasses as well.
I have better than 20/20 vision! I have exceptional sight and often amaze and amuse my 4-eyed friends with my long distance reading prowess.
I have them (smallest script available) but I don't wear them...
I also have a very light prescription (mostly just an astigmatism) and generally don't wear them. I used to need them most when driving, but now I travel exclusively by public transportation or car-pooling, so I rarely need them.
I think that glasses are interesting and can look attractive, but I'm still glad that I don't need them yet.
I would like the option not to wear them. I don't really hate them, but I hate that I can't see without them.
And I can't wear contacts and be fully corrected, because of the type of prescription I need (prism-strabismus). Oh, and my head is a hair short of 25 inches in circumfrence... Which mean finding womens glasses that fit me is a bit harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
I used to wear glasses. I was almost blind without them. But my brother and I got Lasik surgery done, and I haven't had to wear any glasses other than sunglasses since then.
Didn't have a choice that I needed ... I have a contact to wear ... but I also have prescription glasses ... I wear the contact whenever possible.
can't afford health insurance right now... can't afford eye exam or glasses. Cheap reading glasses are working just fine.
I wish my prescription wasn't so heavy (i'm close to legally blind) or that I could afford surgery (yay being a student), but otherwise, I feel okay in glasses.
I always have to have hipster frames due to lens thickness, though, even with ultralights, and they're far too expensive (lenses alone are $350) to have more than one pair. Alas.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
If your vehicle was ordered with Tow wiring:
Vehicles equipped with the trailer tow package also include an electric trailer brake wiring provision that terminates at a connector located on top of the large body harness connection under the instrument panel to the left of the brake pedal.
If there is no connection, then the vehicle probably didn't come with the Tow Package & you would need to purchase Aftermarket Tow wiring & Brake Contoller Harness.There are a number of On-Line Trailer Wiring Shops or you may be able to purchase locally at a Trailer / Hitch Shop
Does your truck have a Tow Connector at the rear bumper now with wires ran to the cab?Is it Factory installed or Aftermarket?
If the 4 pin was Factory & you converted to 7 pin, by adding wires, then you would have to splice into your new wiring, as there would not be a plug for the 4 pin.
That was my question..........Is this a Factory Tow wire harness (4 pin) or aftermarket?
I will relist this, as I have very limited info on the 4 pin & if it is Aftermarket
Hello, my name is Mark.
If you are unable to find the factory plug in for the controller, then you will need to wire this yourself.
Your controller will have 4 wires.
One is power.......I'd run this direct to the battery using an inline fuse.
One is ground....
One is the inout from the brake light switch.........this is a white/tan wire at the brake switch.
And the last wire, I would run direct to the 7 pin connector, running the wire along the frame rail.
Here is a pic, if it helps you.

The Godfathers
The Godfathers are an English alternative rock/new wave band from London, England, with strong influences from R&B and punk. The Godfathers were formed by Peter and Chris Coyne after the demise of The Sid Presley Experience in 1985. Fellow Sid Presley member, and later Godfather, Del Bartle went on to form The Unholy Trinity with drummer Kevin Murphy. After independent single releases produced by Vic Maile, and collected on their debut album, Hit By Hit, they signed to Epic Records in 1987. Extensive tours of the UK, Europe and the United States followed. Single and title track of their first album "Birth, School, Work, Death" made the U.S. Billboard Top 40 in 1988 after college radio and MTV airplay but the band were less commercially successful in the UK.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
There really isn't a problem with coil over setups. You'll need ladder bars or a four link to locate the axle, and a panhard rod. Ladders are easiest, and great for straight line performance, but if you ride down a rough road you'll feel it more. Four link is best for ride. You'll need to beef up your upper shock mounts -- best to put in a cross member. The original shock mounts aren't designed to hold the entire weight of the car. Ladder bars can be made to use the front leaf spring mounts, four link needs new crossmembers for the links, might be able to use the lower leaf mounts though. Novas are popular enough, you can find a prefabbed back half with all the mounts, that's your best bet.
If coil overs are mounted at an angle the spring rate is affected. The advertised spring rate is only good for vertical mounting (which is most common for rear axles anyway). The greater the angle the more reduction to the spring rate. All this is in the Speedway street rod catalog, a great resource even if you're not into T's and 30s rods -- lots of stuff in there!
|I too have a 65 nova and am wondering what to do with the rear leafs. I would like to get a coil over for clearance but don't know what the good; the bad; and the ugly is with a coil set up. E-mail me with any helpful information.
Nova Suspension
I'm in desperate need of new front/rear suspension for my 65 nova. I found numerous Mustang II kits, and one custom made kit from Chris Alston for the front. Any preferences, pros/cons, or cautions?
Also, wanting a rear set-up to eliminate leaf springs. I will tub the car. Would like a pro-stock look, but will be used for cruising. Any suggestions?

To the bishops of the Church of England - who still, perversely, retain a role in making our laws - this is as it should be. Led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, they are massing to extinguish a reasonable and long-overdue attempt by parliament to make humane sense of our last taboo. Lord Joffe's assisted dying bill - to be debated in the upper house today - is a modest and rational attempt to make sense of an area currently clouded by ignorance, fear, hypocrisy and uncertainty. The bishops want to keep it this way. They should be listened to with respect - and then ignored.
For some reason the British do not keep statistics about deaths involving so-called end-of-life decisions. If we are in line with other countries which do their homework it is likely that at least 20% of deaths involve "double effect" deaths - where the alleviation of pain may also involve the shortening of life. To some extent, many doctors are thus already participating in the humane hastening of death.
Lord Joffe would like to go further and enable an open and transparent conversation between the terminally or incurably ill, their relatives and carers and the doctors - the sort of conversation that is presently impossible. All alternatives - including hospices and palliative care - should be considered. The patient - a competent adult - must make a written, legally witnessed, declaration. There must be a cooling-off period and there is an opt-out clause for any doctor who feels unhappy or unwilling.
There is no doubt that such a measure has overwhelming public support. All surveys about doctor-assisted suicide show more than 80% of people in favour. Doctors themselves have - through a recent BMA vote - moved from a position of opposition to one of neutrality. A recent survey of 1,000 doctors found much more support for suitable legislation permitting assisted suicides than for the current position - where doctors face up to 14 years in prison for assisting a suicide. There have been many attempts since 1935 to reform the law on assisted suicides - but there has never before been such agreement between health professionals, lawyers and the general public as to how the law should be changed.
In the absence of reliable UK data it is worth looking at the evidence from such places as Oregon, where such a measure has now worked well for seven years. Attempts by President George Bush and the US attorney general John Ashcroft to frustrate the Oregon law do not meet with local support, any more than the bishops represent public opinion in this country. It is now time to move British laws onto a more open, sensible and humane footing.

JV Beats King in Overtime
JV Rams enjoy overtime victory against King College 110-100...
February 8, 2011
Bluefield, VA—The Bluefield College JV team won in a thrilling overtime game against King College on Monday evening beating the Tornadoes 110-100 in overtime.
AJ Brown led the JV Rams in scoring with 27 points in the victory.
The team that continues to prove that team work and playing as one unit pays off were led by A.J. Brown who led the JV Rams in scoring. Brown who netted 27 points for the JV Rams continually has improved all season long.
Following Brown in the scoring department was Dmitry Zimin, who netted 25 points for the team. Zimin who also plays on the varsity Rams team has seen remarkable results since splitting his time between the two teams. Brian Daniels trailed behind Zimin just two points behind him scoring 23 points for the JV Rams.
Daniels led the team defensively as well, making several crucial plays in the second half. Nearing the end of regulation the JV Rams were up by three points but the Tornadoes nailed a three- pointer just as time was running out to send the game into overtime. Zimin showed his leadership qualities by stepping up and leading the team to the crucial 10 point win in Bristol, Tennessee.
The JV team will play their newly added final game of the season on February 18 at 6:00 pm in the dome against New River Community College. This will mark the third time that the JV Rams has played NRCC and has handedly beat them both previous times.

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread
View Single Post

Unless Aletys has made a lot of progress or chooses to do other things, we won't be running 18s. Pretty sure her top dog is still at 13, although she was on the ceiling so she could get as far as 15 in a real hurry.
As mentioned before, Shadohe is lvl14 and has completed all the content prior to GH. I've got absolutely no problem repeating stuff if those are the toons we end up running. Running on elite, I don't think she'll screw up anyone's bravery bonus.
The lvl18 squad has completed all the level 16 content. It's possible that someone missed something since we didn't actually complete the Vale at the same time, but I'm pretty sure everyone got everything. Those toons can safely take their level 19 if they've got it (Wouldii already did). We've got 3 chains available in level 17 content: Reavers, Harpers (Druid's Deep), and Harbinger2. I believe most of us have done the outdoor stuff in Reavers and that's fairly easy for someone to solo if they need it, so we'll probably ignore that for now. I'm thinking we knock out the Harpers chain first whenever that group runs. It would be fairly easy with a full party *grumble grumble*. Then we move on to Harbinger2. We've basically got 4 levels of content to get 2 toon levels, so we should have plenty of options for what we decide to run, even the 3rd lifers.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Love the new iphone app
I'm sure everybody knows about the diy iPhone app by now but I just found it and very good job by the creator(s).
I don't know about it because I don't have an iphone.
Am I missing out?
Yeah the creators of it did a bang up job! It's fun being out and about and being able to browse the forum. It also makes it really nice for taking a picture with my iPhone and posting it.
??? I don't know what it is either.
If you have an iPhone you can download an application for DIYChatroom that allows you to browse the forum, reply to threads, search the forum, post pictures, etc without having to use a browser, which makes things a lot faster and simpler on a phone. For instance the two posts of mine were posted from my iPhone away from any computer.
How cool!
Thanks for explaining it.
I used to have an eyephone but had to give it up. I couldn't dial when I wore my glasses so it was pretty much useless.
There is.
Maybe if anyone uses it, they could do a better review than "Poor app but only cuz i havent given it a chance yet i suppose. ... by Jason– December 19, 2010"
How can you call something poorly made if you haven't tried it?
Anyway, I was thinking it was some sort of tool to help with the DIY itself, like some sort of ultra clever guide. I'm not particularly bothered about browsing the internet on the go - I spend enough time on it when I'm at home!
I have the app for my android device, but it's just as easy to actually use the website, I guess. 4G makes it fast enough to load the full site and not need an app.
There's a new texting app that just came out. It actually lets you talk and it automatically talks to the other person. This is great for when you need to align a dish or something.
Ok, I was making that up, but it turns out someone actually DID make an app like that:
Is it just me or are people forgetting what a phone actually is? LOL
Mine kept crashing, but an OS upgrade fixed it.
Glad to know there's an Android app! My next phone will be an Android. I'm ditching the iPhone as soon as my AT&T contract is up. There's no point in having AT&T if you live in New England.
android is simply an operating system for your phone just like windows 7 is an operating system for your computer. an Iphone uses iOS as its operating system.
While iOS is exclusively used on Apple Iphones, Android is used on may different manufacturers phones. Why Nokia chooses to stay with their operating system (they have used a few including Nokia series 60, Symbian OS, and Symbian) is anybody's guess with Nokia being the only people that really have the answer.
both systems have apps (applications= programs) available for many uses available for them. Just as with some programs for computers where there are versions available for both PC and Apple computers, there are some apps that have versions for both Android and iOS. Just the same, there are apps that are developed for just Android or iOS so, while phones using either os have apps available, there may or may not be a version of any particular app available for both.
