Maritime transport in the Gulf of Bothnia 2010-2030 : future scenarios for maritime spatial planning purposes
The study aims to describe the main factors contributing to the development of maritime transport and to form future scenarios for shipping traffic in the Gulf of Bothnia by 2030. The goal is to identify future developments that should be taken into account when preparing a Maritime Spatial Plan for the Bothnian Sea area.
The methods include applying existing large scale quantitative scenarios for the volume of maritime traffic specifically in the Gulf of Bothnia context and Real-time Delphi round to find out the probability and desirability of the main factors having an impact on marine traffic. The factors contributing to the future of maritime traffic in Gulf of Bothnia are assessed and debated by an expert group. The study concludes with implications and recommendations for planning. Moreover, due to the spatial nature of the project, one of the most important outcomes of the study is the results shown on maps.
Area specific future scenarios have not been made concerning maritime transport in the Gulf of Bothnia. The future scenarios contribute to the area based, future oriented, participatory and adaptive nature of Marine Spatial Planning.
Maritime Spatial Planning is a fairly new approach to sustainable marine management. It is currently tested on trans-national scale in the Bothnian Sea area as a pilot project. Futures research and Delphi method have been used to aid logistics and traffic planning on land. This study explores how futures research methodology can be applied to planning on marine areas.

One way to make a vacation extra special is to create your own family vacation t-shirts. I have known people to make matching t-shirts for every day of their trips (yes, I am talking about you Heidi).
Matching t-shirts do a couple of things:
- Creates excitement before a trip.
- Brings unity to larger groups.
- Makes children easy to spot and hard to loose. (that can be a pro or con)
To really get an idea of how cute matching shirts at Disney can be I recommend checking out Planning for a Disney Wardrobe by Heidi of Heidi's Head.
I am not as creative and talented as Heidi so I was grateful to discover Teespring. They are a crowdfunding platform for groups, causes and communities to design and sell custom apparel.
This is great for those of us that just don't have time to make the t-shirts or don't want to handle the logistics of larger groups.
I also like that they keep costs down by only doing printing one time. So everyone orders and at the end of the designated time (campaign) they are printed and sent directly to everyone's houses. This also means you pay nothing upfront, take no risk and don't have to deal with the hassle of ordering and shipping the right number of shirts.
I had to try it our and here is my t-shirt design and campaign! As you see I need 50 shirts ordered to make it happen so who wants a Memory Hoarder shirt!!!???
I have them in womens, mens, and even childrens!! Come one and come all!! Stand out in a crowd and proclaim your love of memory keeping and Disney!!
After reviewing the site and creating my campaign here are my takeaways.
- Quality – Their shirts seems to be of higher quality than most and their screen printing process will beat any other mail order service out there. Most of those use digital printing which is not the same at all. Screen printing lasts longer and the colors are brighter.
- Price – Their prices are fair and there is room for a bit of profit (if you are looking for that) if you have larger orders. But for most families you will most likely break even which is ok too.
- Options – You will be happy to see they have womens, mens, and children sizes.
- Easy of Use – It really is simple to create and publish your shirt. They have made it easy with a 3 step walk through that clearly tells you what to do.
- Price – They got a pro and con here. There prices are very fair for the quality but still may be too much for a family trip that has low order numbers. The price goes down with the more shirts that are ordered. So you may need to only print on one side of the t-shirt to keep prices low for small groups.
- Adding Additional Shirts – It is extremely easy to create your shirt and add it to your campaign. But to add different styles you will need to e-mail customer service. They are great on turnaround! But I wished I could have done it on my own.
No matter what I recommend matching shirts for any large family trip or organization event to add to the magical expereince. And when you do start shopping around add TeeSpring into the evaluation.

winter tire storage question for NYC owners
Last summer I bought my daughter an e90 335. She is a SoCal kid, but is completing her dermatolgy residency in NYC. I bought her another set of wheels and winter tires, but she is now challenged in where to store the 18" summer wheels/tires. She lives in an upper East side highrise and the car unfortunately is parked on the street. She has asked several BMW dealers if they can store the wheels through the winter but received unequivocal "NOs". I'm in Cali and have no experience in swapping wheels twice a year - and neither does she.
Obviously many of you have homes and garages to store off-season wheels, but do any of you have suggestions on where she might be able to stash a set of wheels for less than $100/mo? She can't be the only person with this problem
Several friends of mine in NYC who garage their cars or park on the street rent small storage units in or around the city. Your daughter can definitely find a 4X4 or 5X7 secure unit around the city for less than $100/month.
Check out Manhattan Mini Storage.
You can rent small units at storage facilities in Harrison, NJ for ~35/month. 10 minutes from the holland tunnel (she'll only have to go there twice a year).
Queens would be closer from the UES but more expensive. Long Island City is the neighborhood of Queens closest to her (directly across the Q'boro bridge). Google/yellow pages to call them
Or craigslist.
If I remember correctly Little Garage had tire storage service: http://littlegarage.com/
Several possibilities.
1. Keep them in her apartment, wrapped in large garbage bags.
2. Rent a storage space. Since she has a car, she can branch out to farther away places like Edison, NJ, Staten Island, White Plains, Port Washington (Long Island), etc.
3. Ship them UPS to you. Cost $100 so it would cost $200 per year.
4. (?) Suffer and drive on snow tires all year long.
5. Residents live in shoe boxes but medical students may have parents with basements. Find a medical student doing a dermatology rotation and pay the family, who would accept less than the market rate in exchange for friendship and advice to help their child get into a dermatology residency.
Thank you so much for your assistance! I visiited her in NYC last weekend and don't understand how she can live in such a tiny apartment - you could cook your dinner while in resting in bed. There is certainly no room for a set of wheels and tires unless she used them as a table :D
I'll forward the information to her; thanks again.
I know this is an old thread, but we just launched a service that can help you in the future if necessary. It's called switchandstore.com. We come to your location, lift your car, change out the tires/rims, and then store the off-season tires for the season. Repeat again for the next seasonal change period. We also provide Switch only and Storage only services.
Think of the possibilities. Advertise that you'll come to them, mount their tires, then accept a fee to store them. Collect a whole bunch of NYC tires in the fall. Get paid for the privilege. Then, off to Tampa for your "gently used tire and wheel" store. ;)
Hey, wait a second, why do a store? I mean, if you're in one place, someone can come looking! I know. Craigslist! Advertise with a whole bunch of throwaway Gmail addresses for replies. "Set of 4 Continental DW tires on BMW 187 wheels, mounted, balanced, with TPMS sensors and BMW center caps. $500, and I'll drop them off and put them on your car." Place Craigslist ads through the mid-Atlantic states, and roll on through!
There's a script in this somewhere ..... Maybe starring one of those 30-ish metrosexual actors.
Anyhow, Switch and Store is legit though as you said. We paid to be sponsors and we've got tiny ads in 201 Magazine (a northern NJ mag) as well as Yelp ads under tires. This is just a small side business I thought I'd start up. Our main business is actually designing/manufacturing mobile accessories (backpacks/bags mostly) under the BBP Bags, Hellolulu, Coolmika, and Earmuffies brands. We've been around since since 2005 so we're a pretty stable. We have no problem disclosing our 3rd party warehouse location which is in Teterboro, NJ. Paying customers can have the actual address and our account contact there if they like. Besides warehouse insurance that they carry, we're also carrying a $2M business owner's insurance policy too if customers ever want to check that. We figure some customers may have some really expensive rims that could easily run $5k+ with the tires so we don't want to run any unnecessary risks.
Operationally, we tried to think of everything such as asset tags for all the tires and shrink wrapping before being put into storage. We'll also be photographing all inventory before going into our climate controlled warehouse. We've done a few dry runs to work out the kinks with my own car's tires/rims as well as a few close friend's tires/rims.
As a somewhat anal car guy myself, I setup the service in a way that I'd want the service to be so we're pretty confident our customers will be pretty satisfied. We've made a decent investment into the business so we're trying to think more longterm. With all the crazy weather the last few yrs, hopefully more people will think of being safer with snow tires this winter.
The dealer stores mine for free :)
Just remember not to store them near air purifiers, or anything that emits ozone. :/

FlexVPN / IKEv2: Windows 7 Builtin-Client: IOS Headend: Part I - Certificate Authentication
- Bronze, 100 points or more
- Introduction
- Requirements
- Configuration
- Overview
- Certificate Authority Configuration
- IOS Headend Configuration
- Windows 7 Builtin-Client Config
- Certificate for the client
- Pit-Falls
- Verification
FlexVPN is the new IKEv2 based VPN infra-structure on IOS. It is meant to be a unified VPN solution. In this document however we are going to leverage the in-built IKEv2 Client that Windows 7 has to connect IOS Headend using Certificate Authentication.
- Windows 7 In-Built VPN Client
- IOS ver 15.2(2)T
- Certificate Authority - I am using an OpenSSL CA
- Certificate Authority Configuration
I am Using OpenSSL CA, however you may Use IOS CA Server (Latest) or Microsoft CA Server
- IOS Headend Configuration
> Get a Certificate
> IKEv2 Configuration
- Windows 7 Builtin-Client Config
- Certificate for the client
Certificate Authority Configuration
I am using an OpenSSL CA for my setup, which generates pkcs#12 format certificate for IOS and the Client.
Couple of things, if you are going down this my road:
Setting up your own OpenSSL CA
There are many guides which tell you how to set up your own CA using OpenSSL. These two should cover the most of it:
Making sure the new CA assigns EKU
The "config" file for OpenSSL Server should have:
[ extCSR ]
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage = serverAuth, clientAuth
Instead of serverAuth, clientAuth, you could as well use the OIDs. For starters, refer:
Creating PKCS12 Format Certificates
Certificates *requested* and signed by OpenSSL Server can be converted to pkcs12 which makes certificate management much easy:
I could easily use IOS CA Server to do this job. If you are using IOS CA Server, make sure you are using the latest IOS which assigns EKU.
IOS Headend Configuration
Get a Certificate
Enough has been said already, make sure the certificate has Extended Key Usage (EKU, or Enhanced Key Usage as Microsoft likes to call it) fields set to 'Server Authentication' for IOS and 'Client Authentication' for Client. Usually, you would have one CA giving out certificate to both Client and Server, in which case you would see 'Server Authentication' + 'Client Authentication' on the Server Certificate and Client Certificate Respectively, which is just fine.
Since My CA is doing everything, Trustpoint on IOS is simple:
crypto pki trustpoint FlexRootCA
revocation-check none
Import the pkcs#12 certificate:
copy ftp://user:[email protected]/p12/ikev2.p12 flash:/
crypto pki import FlexRootCA pkcs12 flash:/ikev2.p12 password <password>
ikev2.p12 is a pkcs12 format certificate that has CA Certificate bundled in it.
To see if the certificate has all the required options set:
ikev2#show crypto pki cert verbose

Windows 7 Builtin-Client Config
Screenshots to Setup IKEv2 Client
Go to network and sharing centre:
leave Username, Password and Domain blank since we are using Certificate Authentication
Now back to Nextwork and Sharing centre:
And the poroperties of the newly created Connection profile:
Certificate for the client
We need these 3 things:
- As already mentioned, client certificate that has an EKU of 'Client Authentication'. And my CA (now yours as well) gives out a PKCS12 Certificate, which i have handy
Client's PKCS12 Certificate will go into Local Machine Personal Certificate Store
- IOS Headend's Identity Certificate
IOS Headend's Identity Certificate goes into Local Machine Trusted Root Certificate Authorities Store
- CA's Certificate
CA Certificate goes into Local Machine Trusted Root Certificate Authorities Store
Documentations on WWW suggest a lot of things when it comes to using Windows IKEv2 Client with certificate authentication, however main things to pay attention to:
- At this point, I believe that 'IPSec IKE intermediate' (OID = 126.96.36.199.18.104.22.168.2) should be used as EKU only if:
- IKEv2 Server is Windows 2008 Server AND
- There are more than one Server Authentication Certificates being used for IKEv2 Connections
.... in which case either put BOTH 'Server Authentication' EKU and 'IPSec IKE Intermediate' EKU on one Certificate or distribute these EKUs among the certficates, making sure at least one certificate has 'IPSec IKE Intermediate' EKU.
Refer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd941612%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
- In FlexVPN deployment, do not use 'IPSec IKE Intermediate' in EKU. If you do, IKEv2 Client will end up not picking the IKEv2 Server's Certificate, in turn not being able to respond to CERTREQ from IOS in IKE_SA_INIT response message, failing the connection with 13806 Error ID.
- SAN (Subject Alternative Name) is not required, however if the certificates have one, no harm done.
- On Windows 7 Client Certificate Store, make sure that Machine-Trusted Root Certificate Authorities Store has as less number of certificates as possible. If it has more than say close to 50, IOS might fail to read the entire Cert_Req payload (which contains the DN of all the known CA's) from the Windows 7 box. Thereby failing the negotiation. You will see connection timing-out on the client.

In the early 80's, tv shows, in order to save money, began using digital video tape to edit tv shows. I believe Star Trek The Next Generation was to first to do so as it was ILM, which created the effects for their pilot episode, pioneered the technique. Series continued to shoot on 35mm film (at either 24-the frame rate of film, or 30 frames per seconds, the frame rate of video), but after developing, the film was then transferred to digital tape. Thus, all shows (leading up to the advent of film like quality digital cameras) now exist on Digital tape masters. Enter internet streaming. Encodes are made from the master video tape to create a streaming video file. And here is where we run into issues.
As I understand it, the 'jitter' we see in older material is due to the encoding process not taking into account the frame rate of the original master digital tape (if I'm wrong, please correct me).
As long time Netflix Instant Watch viewers probably know, Starz Play offered some of the worst looking encodes of all of it's films and tv, new or old. Extreme jitter in all their material (which did improve in the last year or so during it's availability on IW) during left/right camera pans. This week, a former Starz controlled older series, Highlander, was re-added to their inventory. I was curious as to how it would look compared to the encodes Starz had. The picture looks a little brighter, crispier than the washed out, faded looking prints Starz had, and the severe 'jitter' was gone, but still present in scenes with panning nonetheless.
I'm curious, is there some way that this can ever be corrected...is there something that just isn't being done because it's more expensive or time consuming? Again, the 2 episodes I sampled are infinitely better than what I recall from watching a year ago, but are we simply stuck with all older shows possessing this visual annoyance when a streaming file of them is created?
Dazed and confused over high tech.
Sigh...Concrap. The Internet Overlord Cometh
They're not com-tastic!
Thank you. It's a little mystifying how this phenomenon can't be solved completely. I thought it was just affecting some older shows, but Charmed looks terrible as well (Judder during camera pans).

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Australian police said Friday they have seized methamphetamine with a street value of 200 million Australian dollars ($189 million) that was concealed in the tires of a truck shipped from China.
The 200-kg bust was made at Port Melbourne and resulted in three men, two of them dock workers, being arrested. They face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Police said the operation involved task forces in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, with the shipment identified as high-risk ahead of its arrival from Shanghai on Oct. 1, following a tip-off.
"This seizure has prevented more than AU$200 million of this substance from being on the streets of our towns and cities in Australia," said Australian Federal Police Cmdr. Scott Lee. He said methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth or "ice," was recognized as "one of the drivers of violence in our community and for recidivist offending."

Pogonias cromis
The black drum is a silvery-gray, bottom-dwelling fish that visits the Chesapeake Bay from spring through autumn. It is one of the largest fish in the Bay.
The black drum has a dark, silvery-gray body with a brassy sheen. It grows 40 to 60 inches in length and weighs between 50 to 100 pounds. It has a grayish belly, black fins and a high, rounded back. Many small barbels appear on its lower chin, and it has cobblestone-like teeth plates. A deep notch appears in its dorsal fin. Juveniles have four to five black vertical bars on their sides.
Bottom-dwellers, often found around oyster reefs, wrecks and piles in the Chesapeake Bay's deep channels. Juveniles are more common in shallow waters.
Enter the lower Bay in April, eventually moving as far north as the Elk River on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Leave the Bay in late autumn for warmer southern waters.
Bottom-feeders, black drum prey upon mollusks and crustaceans such as clams, oysters and crabs. Black drum use their chin barbels to sense for prey and use their strong teeth plates to crush the hard shells open.
Sharks likely feed on black drum. Juveniles are preyed upon by seatrouts, jacks and other large fish.
The black drum makes a drumming sound.
Spawning occurs April to June in waters off Cape Charles, Virginia. Females can lay eggs every three days during the spawning season. After spawning, adults move further into the Bay to feed.

When opening up a new project in Visual Studio, one finds many, many options for deploying your new killer app: Windows Applications, Console Applications, and Web Services are all popular choices. Even when creating a simple daemon-type process, however, the Windows Service option is likely overlooked, because it interacts with the system in what many perceive to be an alien way, and it just looks more difficult.
Not so.
Creating a useful Windows service with the .NET Framework, even for those without VS, couldn't be simpler.
Having just come from a highly UNIX-oriented background, I thought I could use a cron-type application. For those unfamiliar, cron is a background daemon which will, at at certain times or time intervals, execute given command lines (say, logging, source synchornization or file cleanup). We'll build the bones for this step-by-step, straight from code. Services operate under rules akin to pretty much any other application, so it's not surprising that the code should look so similar.
Creating a ServiceBase
To start, simply derive a class from ServiceBase and implement a Main() method, with or without string [] args param list.
ServiceBase provides many event-style overrides, so you should use these as appropriate:
using System;
using System.ServiceProcess;
public class CronService : ServiceBase
public CronService()
this.ServiceName = "Cron";
this.CanStop = true;
this.CanPauseAndContinue = false;
this.AutoLog = true;
protected override void OnStart(string [] args)
// do startup stuff
protected override void OnStop()
// do shutdown stuff
public static void Main()
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(new CronService());
Essential lines to watch are the ServiceName, AutoLog, and the content of Main().
* The ServiceName is the name of the application as recorded by the Windows Service Control Manager. If you've ever used "net start <name>", you've used a ServiceName.
* AutoLog should be set to true, to get any system logs, especially when debugging.
* Main should Run() your new service.
Creating an Installer
This is a good starter skeleton for writing a simple service app.
However, Windows Service applications cannot simply be started and stopped like a standalone app. Thus, we must add a set of installers for the Service Control Manager (SCM). Below is a class that will do just that. ServiceInstaller instances take care of installing an individual service class;
a ServiceProcessInstaller installs an executable containing such classes.
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Configuration.Install;
public class CronInstaller : Installer
private ServiceProcessInstaller processInstaller;
private ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller;
public CronInstaller()
processInstaller = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
serviceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller();
processInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Manual;
serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "Cron";
For a cron-type job, the ServiceInstaller's StartType might be better served as a ServiceStartMode.Automatic (started at system startup). The Manual mode will give you a better feel for getting started. Points of note:
* The RunInstaller line is necessary for invoking the System.Configuration.Install.Installer class during service install. We'll touch on this later.
* The ServiceName should match that of your service base-derived class (here, CronService).
* We need to include a ServiceInstaller for each service class.
* We need to include a ServiceProcessInstaller for each installed executable.
* Installers should be Added in the constructor.
Without getting too deep, this forms the skeleton of your service process.
Adding actual tasks
And, for our final code snippet in this app, let's actually add a task for the service to accomplish. You can imagine this as running a shell command you find useful. This is where your crontab task would go, for those familiar.
public class CronJob
// The state object is necessary for a TimerCallback.
public void DoSomething(object stateObject)
// do something
To make this actually interesting, we'll add some more to the service and we're done! Instead of just saying "//do startup stuff", let's add a timer to call our DoSomething task with the red lines:
using System.Threading;
public class CronService : ServiceBase
private CronJob job;
private Timer stateTimer;
private TimerCallback timerDelegate;
protected override void OnStart(string [] args)
job = new CronJob();
timerDelegate = new TimerCallback(job.DoSomething);
stateTimer = new Timer(timerDelegate, null, 1000, 1000);
protected override void OnStop()
This will have a Timer class fire the timerDelegate every second. You may wish to "do something" with a different frequency.
Put your installer, your service, and your task code into a file called, say, cron.cs. Build as normal (csc).
Installing and Using your new Service
There's one final step. As mentioned before, services are managed by the Windows SCM, so we can't just install and control them in the usual way. Locate the .NET InstallUtil executable next to your csc and run:
InstallUtil /LogToConsole=true cron.exe
The flag is optional but nice. Assuming all went well, you can check out your Computer Management window and click "Services" under "Services and Applications". A service named "Cron" should show up.
You can either start and stop with this window, automatically, (at startup, as explained earlier), or with
net start cron and net stop cron.
And there you are! Once every second, you're DoingSomething. Let no one say you're not productive.
Windows Services are really easy to write in .NET, and are often the overlooked perfect solution to the problem at hand.
One Final Caveat
Some people have asked about some unexplained behavior of Windows Services, installed via .NET or no. Because of security policy, Windows requires that you explicitly allow services to access the desktop. I am not aware that this will change in .NET 2.0. To allow Cron (or your newly-installed service) to start processes, follow these steps.
1. Start from the Computer Management console. (My Computer — right click –> Manage)
2. Find your service under the "Services" node.
3. Right click and go to Properties.
4. At the Log On tab, check the box "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" and Apply.
When your service is restarted, your Processes should be good to go. This works whether you start a process with UseShellExecute=true or false.
To our discerning readers: Thanks for catching this! Please let the BCL know how your shiny new service projects turn out.

Purity evaluation of carbon nanotube materials by thermogravimetric, TEM, and SEM methods
Frost, Ray L., George, Graeme A., Trigueiro, Joao, Silva, Glaura, Lavall, Rodrigo, Furtado, Clascidia, Oliveira, Sergio, Ferlauto, Andre, Lacerda, Rodrigo, Ladeira, Luiz, & Liu, Jiang-Wen (2007) Purity evaluation of carbon nanotube materials by thermogravimetric, TEM, and SEM methods. Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 7(10), pp. 3477-3486.
Administrators only
Raw and purified samples of carbon nanotubes are considered as multicomponent systems with a distribution of carbonaceous, amorphous, multishell graphitic particles and nanotubes, together with the particles of metal compounds from the catalyst. With respect to the carbon nanotube fractions, a distribution of size, defect concentrations and functionalities needs to be taken into account. In order to address the problem of quantitative evaluation of purity it is necessary to measure the quality and distribution of the carbon nanotubes. In this research conventional and high resolution thermogravimetry are applied to quantify different fractions of carbonaceous and metallic materials in raw and moderately purified single walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. For each oxidized fraction, defined by careful line shape analysis of the derivative thermogravimetric curves (DTG), the temperature of maximum rate of oxidation, the temperature range for this oxidation, related to the degree of homogeneity, and the amount of associated material was specified
The assignments of a type of carbonaceous material to each fraction in the distribution were based on several works from the literature and SEM and TEM measurements. The MWNT purified sample (1.6 wt% metal oxide) was investigated by high resolution thermogravimetry and the quantitative assessment for the carbonaceous fractions in this sample was as follow: 25 wt% of amorphous and other very defective carbonaceous including nanotubes, 54 wt% MWNT and 20 wt% multishell graphitic particles. A qualitative evaluation of these fractions was obtained from the SEM and TEM images and corroborates these results. The accuracy of the values, take into account other measurements performed for the same batch of material, should be better than ±4wt%.

New offroad park in Canada.
Last week while pre-running for Gitchee Gumee, GLFWDA was invited out to check out some private land by the owner. She has 122 acres of absolutely awesome Canadian property! It has mud holes, steep up hill dirt hills with rocks and rock courses. She currently has about 15 different trails and from what little we saw, on a scale of 1-5, the difficulty ranges from 3 to 5+. There are rock challenges that will push the limit of any vehicle including buggies.
Her goal is to turn this into a park type setting. The current setup is $10 per day per vehicle and you have to sign a liability waiver. The property is roughly 20-30 minutes outside of Sault St Marie Canada.
This is the same property the Loonie Run is run on.
If you are interested in checking it out, contact Charlene at 705-781-2201.
Recognize that this is a start up venture and is currently very primitive.
Ironman will be posting pics of this soon.

When you are just getting started as a trader it can be a pretty lonely place. There are sights out there that offer trading forums and chat rooms. Although we don't have one now, it may be something we will add in the future. We wanted to share a little information about it because you still have options. Trading with a group of traders in a chat room or forum can make your educational phase much quicker. At least the getting started phase.

Risk Warning – "Investors can lose all their capital by trading binary options"
You have 100's of Binary sites to do your research on, so why stay here. For one, you get no BS information on trading and much more. With our live trading channel you have a library of trading videos dating back to mid 2012. Each video has a lesson in it and you can definitely learn a lot. We don't offer a signal service, but this is something we've been contemplating for months. There is just too much involved to get that started. Not to mention the liability. You always have to know your risks.
You might have found our site by looking for a binary trading forum or chat room, but that is okay. Join on our Facebook page or Youtube channel and you will have access to dozens of traders in a similar boat as you. Remember, chat rooms and forums require a lot of moderation and without them they become a spamfest. We want nothing to do with that here at Binaryoptiontrading.com.
As a new trader you can definitely gain a lot of information from these services, but please be warned. There are a lot of bad traders or people only after your money. We don't want you getting stuck in a bad situation when you first get going. There is also 1-2 guys that really stand out and have a huge following. These are the people you want to learn from, but try not to only trade the way they do. You have to come up with your own system of binary options trading. It's not easy and anyone that tells you that is lying.
Making friends in a forum won't necessarily be your goal, but if you can find one or two people to work with, it may help you over the long run. Each person has their own perspective and you don't want to just listen to what others say. You should want to apply your own input. As a newbie this may be hard, but over time you will come up with some valuable information.
Using a forum or a chat room as a tool is a great idea. Just make sure you don't fall into the wrong one with the worst information. Stick with all of our social media outlets, which can be found on the sidebar on every page. Each of these will include real time information for you to participate and learn. Keep an open mind and always ask questions.
The future for us is still unknown when it comes to these services. We've had tons of requests, but at this time it will have to stay on hold. As soon as we have a bigger foundation we may take it to the next level.

I just rescued my dog in December and he was at the shelter since September. I don't have the paperwork in front of me but I think he was neutered sometime in October. How long does it take those excess hormones to leave his system?
We haven't had a problem with humping but he's lifted his leg a few times at another house where another dog lives. I'm hoping that when these hormones subside he won't be so eager to mark his territory.

This July, Debbie Zlotowitz, head of the Mary McDowell Center for Learning, will travel to South Korea as a participant in the Korean Studies Workshop for American Educators.
Zlotowitz is one of 100 participants selected from nearly 400 applications through a competitive review process. The Korean Studies Workshop for American Educators is designed to enhance mutual understanding between the people of Korea and the United States by inviting U.S. educators to visit Korea and to share the knowledge gained in the classroom and community.
Zlotowitz will be among 50 educators who will travel to Korea from July 9-July 24. They will begin their visit in Seoul with a formal reception attended by representatives from the Korea Foundation and officials from Yonsei University, who assisted the Korea Foundation in coordinating the program. In the following days, the American educators will attend lectures and visit relevant sites to learn about Korean history, economics and culture.
The educators will also have the opportunity to meet students and teachers at Goyang Foreign Language High School, where they will learn about the Korean educational system. In addition to their time in Seoul, they will also travel to Gyeongju, the historical capital of Korea, where they will learn more about Korean history and culture.
The Korea Foundation, working in conjunction with Yonsei University, oversees all aspects of the workshop for educators. The foundation, an independent organization affiliated with the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sponsors the program, for which 2008 marks the third year. The Institute of International Education coordinates the recruitment and pre-departure activities of the program in the United States.
Nearly 200 social studies educators from across the United States have visited Korea through the Korean Studies Workshop for American Educators in 2006 and 2007. Program participants have already begun to share what they have learned about Korea with their students and communities through a variety of outreach projects.
Social studies educators and administrators working in sixth through twelfth grades throughout the United States can apply to take part in one of the two trips to South Korea scheduled for 2009. As guests of the Korea Foundation, the selected educators' trips are fully-funded.
Teachers with social studies components to their curricula, including gifted and special education teachers, and teachers and administrators involved with social studies curriculum development and textbook writing are encouraged to apply. Applicants are not required or expected to have previous knowledge of Korea or the Korean language. The application deadline will be in early spring 2009.
For more about the 2009 competition, refer to www.iie.org/ksw, call 1-800-270-4317 or email ksw.@iie.org. All applications must be completed online.

This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot form a variable resistor, whose resistance varies depending on soil moisture. This variable resistor is connected in a voltage divider configuration, and Arduino collects a voltage proportional to resistance between the 2 wires.
Insert the 2 probes (wires, pcb) in the dry soil and measure the resistance value and then pour water and measure it again.
Use a mid value for the resistor (eg: 50kΩ for 100kΩ in dry soil and 10kΩ in wet).
The other method to find the resistor's value is to try different values or use a potentiometer. Insert the probes into the soil that has the desired moisture when to light up the LED and signal that the plant needs water.
Adjust the potentiometer and see the point at which it starts to light. Measure the potentiomenter current value and replace it with a fixed resistor.
Project source code
const int VAL_PROBE = 0; // Analog pin 0 const int MOISTURE_LEVEL = 250; // the value after the LED goes ON void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void LedState(int state) { digitalWrite(13, state); } void loop() { int moisture = analogRead(VAL_PROBE); Serial.println(moisture); if(moisture > MOISTURE_LEVEL) { LedState(HIGH); } else { LedState(LOW); } delay(100); }

'Kaleidoscope' is a visual response to the work of Philip K. Dick.
This piece experiments with the process of collage; using found imagery - predominantly from botanical textbooks.
Philip K. Dick was a science fiction novelist whose work examines social and political themes, metaphysics and altered states. Continually questioning reality, Dick often explored paranoia, schizophrenia and drug abuse. Inspired by psychedelic and optic art, this piece is a kaleidoscopic collage influenced by Philip K. Dick and particularly 'A Scanner Darkly'.
Hand-cut collage.

We're all guilty of the occasional pimple-squeezing session. To make things worse, we use our fingers to perform the function. Not only is that an easy way to introduce new bacteria, but we're practically asking for an acne scar. The good news? A little DIY facial work is okay if we use the right tools. This double-sided, no-slip skin care tool works to eliminate blackheads and whiteheads in a flash, leaving you with smooth skin.
I've always been religious about skincare and have had good skin, but after I turned 30, I noticed that my pores looked larger than before and were often clogged. I tried everything - the Clarisonic, an OTC retinol, a prescription retinoid, a BHA serum, and various scrubs. While they helped, they didn't eliminate my clogged pores. For cosmetic and health reasons, I didn't want to use my fingers to manually extract the sebum from my pores, and I decided to try this tool, figuring I could always return it if i wasn't satisfied. Well, it's worked wonders, and it's especially amazing for the contours of my nose and the indentation between my lower lip and chin. FYI, if you go to a dermatologist to have your pores cleaned manually, they'll use this same tool. So save your money - just buy this and watch a few YouTube tutorials to get the hang of using it.5

Mindy Kaling Drops By "The Late Show"
Stepping out for a media appearance, Mindy Kaling showed up at "The Late Show with David Letterman" yesterday (September 17).
The "Office" cutie had a great time chatting with Dave about her life in New York City before she hit it big in the entertainment business.
Namely, Mindy relied in a babysitting gig to make ends meet- "I'm not a great babysitter. I am good at some things by the way… but I am not a great babysitter. I was babysitting 11-year-old girls, which for me is right in my wheelhouse of people that I do well with because I sound like an 11-year-old girl. Also, because they want to talk about the same kinds of things, so I'm like, 'Yeah, sure let's talk about boy bands and things like that.'"
"I really liked that job because when they went to sleep, and these were rich kids I would babysit for, I could put on Showtime at the Apollo, put on a rich lady's kimono, and eat all the food in their fridge."
Kaling added, "I was a broke 22-year-old, and there was a cashmere kimono… of course!"

she just dosent understand
well my sister has a 68 mustang. Boy does it need work! the paint is chipping off all over the body, it has the original rear suspension aside from the shock, the front springs are the wrong ones they sit the front end to high (about 1 1/2 inches to high). the steering has lots of play feels like its driven on a ball at 45mph. the only good things about this car is that the interior, engine tranny and rear end is in very good condition. she wanting to get some of it fix so she can drive it daily. but what she doesnt realize is that things dont happen over night and ive been trying to tell her that but she just doesnt want to realize that. ive been trying to talk her into letting me do the body work on it to stop all the rust from getting worse. every time i talk to her about it she hates the idea of driven a primmer car (because she cant afford a good paint job.) so i tell her whats worse??? a primmed car or a rusting car. she says she knows but still doest allow me to work on it.
then the suspension. she asked me today how much it would be to make it a daily driver. so i said first go with leaf springs shackles etc. then for the front coils. at least do that then in the next couple of paydays buy the shocks and sway bars and your good. daily driver right there! but so how she found a flaw in that plan! i just dont know how to get it through to her that dream cars dont happen overnight. for the past 4yrs ive been rebuilding a 73 firebird for my mom and it only has suspension and primmer on it. no wires no windows no nothing just suspension and primmer. and i told her all that. she starts saying that it will take hers at least a year to finish it (meaning the car is done completely.) i didnt even bother telling her it will take a few years to get it completely done.
so how can i keep reassuring her that it just takes baby steps??? because im out of ways to tell her. she finds flaws in everything. makes me wonder why she bought the car.
She dont understand
Welcome to the world of woman, dont get me started but I stil love them. We all have our idiosyncrousies I sugest you let it go in one ear and out the other start panelbeating your sisters car without telling her steal it if you have to, then it will be to late for her and youl have to carry on panelbeating it. Youve got great patience because as soon as some one undermines me when your trying to help I give up on them. Hope it works out.
Take her to a meet. Let her see the cars and talk to the people who built them. Let her hear the stories of the years and money spent. Maybe she needs to hear it from other people how much work is involved with building a good, safe car. Too many people see Boyd do it in 6 weeks and think that is the way it is. Good luck.
if your talking baby steps why are you going to change the whole rear suspention? just concentrate on it being safe to drive. fixing the steering should be the first priority if shes strapped for cash then just cut a coil off the front spring to get it level
getting it running right is the first priority the car has been slowly rusting for 41 years another year or so wont make that much difference
good luck talking her into it!!!
Tuff love tell her to take it to a repair shop @ $80 per hour to get some swinging Richard to do a really 1/2 arsed job that she will have to pay again to have fixed right ,by you & then all the "I told u so's" you'll have on her.
Lightly smacker in the head & say this in not on TV !
This is real life Bewitched it not here !
We can't just wiggle our little nose & the world is right .
Tell her this.
It takes years & years to build something & make it right ...It only takes a few seconds for some DUMB ARSE to FUBAR it.
MOST Women just Don't get it!
Last night I made my wife clean the A/C filters they were clogged almost solid the poor unit was about to suck it's self inside out got her right after dinner!!
Then after we were done 45 Min's later I said see that took 45 min with 2 people 1.5 hours {its a weird set up & in a tight spot} so now all these little "honey do's" add up & the A/C will work better & save energy.
Maybe she got it I dunno
Next on my list is to have he mow the lawn with a push mower
YUP the Mow , Blow ,Wack ....
Rutine.every week when it rains get boring ,hell its so dry here I wait until it has rained.
As long as no one tips her off to this thread LOL
"Illegitimis non carborundum"
Don't let the bastards grind you down!

cutting springs is one thing i wont do it messes with the spring rate. plus i just know my sis would go off on saying ... now my cars being done the cheapy way thats not what i want. trust me. like ive said she finds flaws in EVERYTHING !!!
the body can wait a bit longer but its breaking my heart watching it rust. even tho im a chevy guy it still breaks my heart.
You could take it away to work on it. When she asks where it is just say that the crew from "Over Haulin'" took it and she reuined the surprise. After a few days, when she begins to get suspicious, just say that the show is taped in California (where the car is) and it doesn't really take a week to do the cars. Explain it as "that's Hollywood".
Then do a quick fix on some things and return it saying the show got canceled before they could finish it.
lol if only it was that easy.
Hire a repo man, tow it to your shop/garage, fix the importang things, have it given back to her with an apology that they took the wrong car.
thats not a half bad idea i just might arrange that
these pics are some of the body problems...
pic 1) the drivers door is off alignment and is hitting the fender every time you open the door.
pic 2) this is the back window the paint as you can see is chipping off. its happening all around the window. and in the corners where the rust is the worst... i believe it has rusted through to the trunk just enough to cause water to puddle up every wash or rainy day.
pic 3) not only is the paint chipping off here but the trim is being taped on because the clip to hold it broke a long time ago but thats not a big deal in her mind...
pic 4) the previous owner would always slam the hod on the rod for the air cleaner (thats just my guess tho i could be wrong) and then where the paint is splitting is bad bondo work that just decided to crack up on day.
pic 5) on the passenger door rust is bubbling up the paint a i just know there are hole forming there.
Do you have a shot of the whole car, because that just looks like it may just need some TLC. It's not near as bad as I thought it would be.
not right now ill get one up soon tho. it doesnt need a lot of work but its got tons of little spots that need help.
WOW That is a beatiful car and will be gorgeous when complete. Now about your sister. She finds fault in everything That figures but I wholly agree with taking her to car meet or show some women are just NOT car people and they need a lot of convincing years maybe! If the car shows don't work tell her to enroll in the local college and take the auto repair course; that may just jog her into reality. My friends in high school used to laugh at me for taking months to rebuild an engine never mind the whole car.
Just another quick story, My neighbor is 70+ and his wife is NOT a car person, He just bought a slc 600 MB v12 sports car and man its a rocket. She cant stand to ride in it and gives him grief as often as possible but the dude just lets her talk then gets in the car and goes.
Best of luck to you and If you find another ride like that let me know my wife IS a mustang junkie.

County worker injured while clearing downed tree
Published: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 12:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 12:34 p.m.
The sun was nearly down Monday night as Emanuel Baker and his co-worker George Rountree wrestled with a tree that had fallen onto some power lines in Micanopy.
The two Alachua County Public Works employees had cut in half the huge tree along SE County Road 234 that was one of several trees apparently downed Monday night by a powerful storm that belted southern Alachua County.
Baker and Rountree's plan, officials said later, was to attach pull-straps to their county vehicle and yank the big tree free.
But as Rountree got into the truck, started the engine and tugged on the tree, something was wrong. He didn't notice that one of the tree's limbs was snagged on a power line, said Lt. Todd Kelly of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
As Rountree pulled, Baker yelled and tried to get his buddy's attention. Baker ran away from the tree so it wouldn't hit him, Kelly said, but he couldn't escape danger in that split second.
A utility pole that the lines were attached to snapped and fell on his head, knocking him out, Kelly said.
Nearby, Alachua County Deputy James Hardy and Sgt. Matthew Strang were busy directing traffic and they saw the scene unfold.
"Deputy Hardy and I were there blocking traffic because the sun was going down, and visibility was getting bad," explained Strang.
Immediately, Hardy and Strang ran to where Baker lay unconscious and started first-aid.
"I'm not sure if the pole knocked him down directly or pushed him onto the ground and he hit his head, but he was unconscious by the time we got to him," Strang said of Baker.
Baker was bleeding from his mouth and nose, so the officers removed his dentures, which were blocking his airway. Baker didn't have a pulse, Kelly said.
They performed CPR on him, and they grabbed an automated external defibrillator from one of their patrol cruisers.
"We were thinking 'we have to save him.' " Strang recalled. "A couple people were saying prayers on scene. It's always tough to see a county employee get hurt."
"Around 2 to 3 minutes after we started CPR, his pulse came back," said Strang, "but we continued CPR until EMS arrived. In all, almost 25 minutes."
Baker was transported to Shands at the University of Florida, where he was in critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit, according to county spokesman Mark Sexton.
Baker, 58, has been with the county for more than seven years, and works with the road and bridge maintenance department, Sexton said Tuesday. Baker also supervises teams of state Department of Corrections workers.
Public Works Director Richard Hedrick described Baker as well-liked, conscientious and hard-working.
Strang expressed relief to be nearby so he and others could help Baker.
"There was one guy, a large African-American man from Micanopy Fire Rescue, who was a great help," Strang said. "The teamwork between us — Micanopy and ACFR — worked out in his benefit. It feels good to give him a chance."

As much as I'd like to traipse around the cobblestones of Italia in my most precarious heels, it's not going to happen. You need to be either a billy goat or an Italian woman to carry that off and since I am neither (although I do share their mutual predisposition to facial hair), I had to leave my fanciest foot coverings at home.
My grandfather, whose mother was Scottish and father was Welsh, used to tell us we were Italian.
Familial legend has it two Italian brothers were shipwrecked on the coast of Wales sometime in the early 19th century and settled down with a pair of local girls. Although it would explain the slightly Italianate name before the fine folks at Ellis Island decided to change it, I suspect it's mostly fanciful thinking, much like how he told me his got his kidney shot out by a specialized kidney sniper in Okinawa (he was born with only one).
Dolce & Gabbana have been playing the Italian card even harder than usual lately and I have loved every minute of it. I'm especially excited to see the low, ladylike heel from seasons past show up again in the SS2013 collection.
I mean, I love a 5″ ankle buster as much as the next girl, but I'm already 5'10" and now that I'm in a dance company in a nation where I passed the average height for men in the fifth grade, I've got to be careful about heel height lest my partner for the evening inadvertently end up wearing my sweaterpuppies for earmuffs.
So which Dolce & Gabbana is your favorite? I like the colorful kitten heel, although the whimsical side of me is crazy for the references to Roman aqueducts and Ionic columns.]]>
Still, as both Elvis and Carl Perkins –the artist responsible for writing the seminal rockabilly classic– know, there's just something about a good pair of suede shoes.
Blue is fine if a little expected, but greens from dusky olive to deep viridian are having a major moment this fall. Plus, green suede ages better blue does, where a bit of dirt and scuffing add to the character.
A little Annie Hall, a little Jules et Jim, these immaculate oxfords from Gravati (seriously, look at the soles, they are works of art) are the exact sort of shoe you didn't know you needed until you find yourself wearing them for thirty years. Style it with rolled up jeans and a bateau-neck top for the kooky naif look, or go elegant with wide tailored trousers and a mercilessly chic cashmere sweater to channel Marlene Dietrich at her deadliest.
The iconic Alexander McQueen skull pump rarely goes on sale and this iteration is among the more elegant (the shark, I'm afraid, was jumped a good while ago with some of the late designer's other iconic designs. See also, Marc Jacobs' mouse shoe). Sizing is extremely limited, but if it fits your foot, you can get a signature shoe for over 50% off.
For something just as sexy but a little more sly, Robert Clergerie's curvaceous Quatro in Basil is a lovely sample of a desk-to-dinner heel. The t-strap makes it perfect for dancing. In my experience, Clergerie cuts on a narrow last –it's truth universally acknowledged that French women have skinny little banana feet– so size accordingly.
What do you wear to transition summer's favorite maxi dresses into fall? A summer cut in an autumnal fabrication. The wallet-friendly Primrose from Seychelles fits the bill perfectly with a strong design element at the vamp that ascends higher up the throatline for a slightly less summery look. Even better, they're on sale for 25% off.
Finally, I know people avoid suede because of the staining. I wouldn't.
With use, suede develops a patina every bit as elegant as the crumpled lines of a linen pant. Buy them in neutrals and do your best to keep them away from oils –basically don't fry chicken or perform automotive maintenance in them– and you'll be good to go.
Oh, and as for maintenance: Ignore pretty much everything you've read on the internet on how to clean suede and listen to the advice from London custom shoemakers James Taylor and Son. They've been making bespoke footwear since 1857 and wouldn't steer you wrong.]]>
Ayyyyy! They have made Madonna beautiful!
And, now, notice in the next photos how they have removed the tiara and made the eyeglasses darker…
So that he may see these shoes on the feets of his friends.
The Kayla from Elizabeth and James in bright multi-snake yellow-yellow-yellow.
The Lacross from Stuart Weitzman in sea patent aniline blue-blue-blue.
The Estelle Wedge from the Dolce and the Gabbana in kelly-esque, sorta-MG-racing greeny-greeny-green.
And now, this is the time on the Shoe Blogs when the Manolo dances!]]>
Manolo says, Finally, the Dolce and the Gabbana are here to fix the computers!]]>

Windells Camp
Rumors have been blasting airs around, about Windells designing a private handle tow in our terrain park on Mt Hoods Palmer glacier. Lots of nosey noses snooping around trying to get the inside scoop. We are now going to set the record straight. Here is the lay-back. (We were going to say low-down, but instead we are saying lay-back)
Windells is the first summer shred camp in the history of the world to own, operate and install, its very own private handle-tow! I sure hope the lift-ops are good looking!
What you mean I won't be able to hike that jump 53 times in my air cast and dislocated knee? That was half the fun!!!
Seriously though Im looking forward to windell's again this summer. Just got a fat bonus check from work that will more than cover the entire trip :D :D :D
Commies drink beer?
It's really just vodka.
Is there a separate camp for adults?
Penguin, there is a very seperate adult camp. Unlike High Cascades where you might be housed with the kiddies :eek:
Thanks Mooz!
I would like to attend a camp but I'm a little too old at 25 to be breaking bones with kids.
Hopefully I can attend this summer, as I have a buddy who lives right by PDX.
mooz, since youve been here..how much does this camp realistically cost? including beer lol...
That depends on how much you can spend on beer lol
They have a store nearby with damn near every beer possible. I spent a lot on beer
A lot
$1800 is the cost for session 2 (and I'll be back there again this year for that session). I'd say budget around $200 for snacks and booze. Again this varies on how much you drink :laugh: At the very least add an extra $6 per day for cobra dogs and a red bull slushie. You will want these... trust me.
Also, they sell water bottles but mine had a habit of "walking away". I bought 3 and came back with 1 so keep your shit zipped up in your luggage.
and btw, Tim if you're reading this, I should be getting a damn discount for all the business i'm sending your way!

Colt McCoy is the latest young quarterback to have the hope of Cleveland Browns fans placed squarely on his shoulders. It is a reoccurring and all-too-familiar saga. The final chapter has yet to be written and won't be until the team can find its franchise quarterback.
Since 1999, the question has been constantly repeated, with only a few minor tweaks. Is Tim Couch the guy? Is Charlie Frye the guy? Is Brady Quinn the guy? The Browns are 0-for-3. Couch and Quinn had moderate success in college. Frye and Quinn had the back story of a young Browns fan turned the team's starting quarterback.
All three failed in the NFL.
Eleven seasons after the Browns returned, the question remains in Browns town and in 2010 it is rephrased again: Is Colt McCoy the guy?
As McCoy digs into the batter's box, Browns fans are hoping he isn't another swing and miss. McCoy is not from Ohio like Frye and Quinn. He didn't grow up rooting for the Browns like Frye and Quinn. He had success in college like Couch.
Most importantly, could McCoy finally be the Browns franchise quarterback?
At the NFL Combine last winter, McCoy gave some insight into the type of leader he can be on the football field. McCoy spoke about his early experiences at Texas. He was a redshirt freshman during Texas' national title season of 2005. A year later, McCoy took over the offense. As a freshman, he had to command the respect of veteran players who just a season ago won the national title with Vince Young.
Four seasons later, McCoy holds nine school records and has the most career wins (45) by a starting quarterback in NCAA Division I history. He is the only college quarterback to have at least 10 wins a season during all four seasons.
Yet the talk entering last April's draft was whether or not teams should draft Tim Tebow because he was a winner. Tebow didn't win as much as McCoy. For all of McCoy's college success, he was not drafted until round three. Tebow went in the first round. McCoy is 6-foot-1. He doesn't have the strongest arm. He won't stretch an NFL defense. Maybe he is just a great college quarterback and that's it.
Or Colt McCoy could be the next Doug Flutie or Drew Brees.
In his senior season, McCoy completed 70.6 percent of his passes for an average of 10.6 yards per completion. McCoy will never run a Peyton Manning offense. But he can run a Colt McCoy offense.
Under McCoy, Texas ran the shotgun spread offense. According to Kevin Flaherty, publisher of Scout.com's Longhorn Digest, "Texas thrived with a quick game that included an extensive two-man game to make one defender 'pick his poison' so to speak. The Longhorns used concepts like stick plays (one receiver sprints to the flat, the other runs about eight yards and options either in or out, depending on the defense) to that end. They used double slants (witness McCoy's Ohio State game winner for an example) to attack man coverage. And they used plays like smash routes (outside receiver runs a curl and the inside receiver runs a corner route over the top) and four verticals (just like it sounds) to stretch the field deep."
After three preseason games in which McCoy struggled, the Browns offense against Chicago resembled his days in Austin.
McCoy started and played a little more than two quarters before finishing 13-for-13 passing for 131 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. Granted, he was playing against the Bears scrubs, but the plays fit McCoy's strengths.
Here are all 13 of McCoy's completions:
Pass short left to TE for 6 yards.
Pass short left to WR for 1 yard.
Pass short left to WR for 16 yards.
Pass short middle to WR for 16 yards.
Pass short right to RB for 1 yard.
Pass short middle to RB for 12 yards.
Pass short middle to RB for 14 yards.
Pass short middle to RB for 12 yards.
Pass short right to TE for 8 yards.
Pass short left to TE for 7 yards.
Pass short right to WR for 15 yards.
Pass short left to WR for 10 yards.
Pass short middle for RB for 13 yards.
He spread it around, with five completions to wide receivers, five to running backs and three to tight ends. No doubt the Browns will look to highlight McCoy's strengths in game planning the Steelers. It will be a daunting task. This Steelers defense will not be like the Bears defense he faced last month.
If there are any positive signs, the question — once again rephrased — will remain in the conversation for at least another week.
Maybe Colt McCoy can be the guy?
