We had 4 beautiful weeks starting mid February. NO snow, sunny days, 40-50 degrees every day, it was almost like summer. However it was peak ski season, and many of us here were bummed. The thought of packing up skis and unpacking shorts had crossed my mind. But alas, Ullr always comes through in the clutch. We have had 34 Inches of snow in the last week, 3 feet, 5 inches a day, and it has stayed. The snow has fallen, temperatures have dropped, and the skiing is great. Many of you may have given up on this season, like I had, but trust me, the snow is beautiful and we are scheduled to get more during this week. Don't delay, reserve your Breckenridge lodging today.

My home town
edited, deleted
My home town when I was growing up in southern Maine, right on highway U S 1, was so small (around 3000) we had 3 digit phone numbers, but we had 2 traffic lights. Here we are 70 years later the town now has over 10,000 people, (in the winter time - in the summer it gets up around 50,000 or so - 7 digit phone numbers (10 if you count area code) and lots of traffic congestion.
Sure ain't the town I grew up in in the 40's and 50's for sure. I do like living in Memphis if only because the traffic is no-where near as bad in most of the city.
Oh, yes - we had a Hudson dealer on Main Street from around 1915 into the 30's. Then the dealer sold the dealership to someone else and he moved it to the edge of town. The original dealership building is still there (made of brick) and is, today, used as a store room for the local water company. The 2nd dealership, believe it or not, is still operating as a garage in the garage area - in the showroom building next door the showroom is mostly storage (no Hudson parts) while the back area which was probably the parts department is used for wheel balancing.

Took the t-plane up the hills 250 miles away to my old home town last weekend.
Slim, thanks for sharing ... Using your T for a trip home is cool.
I just completed a read of Charlie Woodruff's book about his Hudson travels. HE&T model cars were meant to be driven. Yes even the Essex brand. Ask Larry, aka Uncle Josh about My Great Uncle Shrorl's E cars. Over the years it has been my privilege to drive a Hudson as daily driver and to depend on those cars as my transport on long distance trips. In the near future, I expect to take my current Hudson cross country to NY to visit my childhood home.
I have often spoke of my home town in various articles that I have written. As from comments above it was much smaller, around but less than 3000. One stop light at the main highway intersection but the road was a dead end at the local train station. Forest Street, as it was called was six blocks long and went from the City Court house to the RR yard. The city is known for the trees that line the old State highway (all cement built by the CCC camp folks in the 30's) and travels North to nowhere? No Hudson dealer; but, on the City Court House lawn is a statue of a GI in full uniform with the names listed of the cities war dead. A large aerospace company moved to town during my highschool days and the the size of the city doubled. They went out of business a short time back because of the end of the Space Shuttle program. Since then, the city has been on the decline--I expect that within a few years it will be the size that I remember as a child. However, the McDonald's that they built in the 90's will never sell hamburgers for fifteen cents....Brownie
My Home Town is Northville, NY at Great Sacandaga Lake. Pop. about 2000 and growing very slowly. No traffic lights and ya don't have to use your signal lights 'cause everybody knows where you're goin.
Ken alluded to his late great Uncle Raburn Shroh. We're hosting Uncle Josh's 14th annual car show here this year, and when Rae was alive, you could count on his old 29 Essex arriving from Schoharie, 50 miles away.
Son Bill and Bonnie usually accompanied him driving Bill's own 24 Essex or Rae's so he could drive his 26 Hudson barn find (with the little awnings on the windows.)
We miss him, but we enjoy Bill and Bonnie. The 26 got flooded in the Schoharie Crick rampage last fall. They're rebuilding the house and have plans to dry out the 26. -
Lets try this. Well, I must have a damaged file. I can't load the 26 Hudson. This is Bill Shroh's 24 Essex and the late Raeburn's original 29 Essex100_1560.jpg1200 x 900 - 306KShroh29Essex.jpg572 x 399 - 28K
My much missed hometown is Sydney, and more specifically the suburb of Balmain. It's only a few miles from the CBD, but Balmain didn't have any traffic lights until the late 1980s - the insular peninsular it was once called. Historically Balmain was was all port activity, shipbuilding and factories, very blue collar, and it is from here that all the (now disused) coal mine tunnels wind out beyond North and South Head to the ocean.
Sydney's population is knocking on the door of 5 million these days. Below is a picture of Balmain, with one or two famous places and things in the background. The house I grew up in is located just to the left of the park in the centre.

Town? Wasn't one for miles. That's where you went to sell butter, eggs, and produce. I grew up hunting, trapping, and working on a truck farm. Rode a hoss to school many times, not home though, slapped the hoss's butt and sent him home. Walked the trap line home (and occasionally to). Used a hudson truck on the farm. My first car was a '31 Essex. Still have it.

eugenides can steal anything (i_stealanything) wrote in we_coexist, @ 2011-02-15 22:15:00 |
Entry tags: | charlie crews, eugenides |
first order of business: breakfast (open to anyone!)
Eugenides discovered one other thing that morning: he didn't like coffee.
His face wrinkled as the bitter flavor swept over his tongue and he set it down on its small plate and pushed everything away from him, sending the tiny spoon clattering out of its place. Its warmth had been extremely welcome to his otherwise cold body but he never took it back.
In the meantime, he straightened his back and looked around. Only an hour ago, he discovered himself to be sleeping on the ground well away from the comforts of his bedroom and hadn't been at the peak of himself since. He was confused, he was cold, he was hungry and his body hurt where the ground met it. The diner (they called it one) had appeared to him seemingly out of the blue and before he knew it, he was stumbling inside, welcomed as the first customer of the day. It was coated in pale cream walls and the empty couches that filled the place were of the same shade, the tables basking in the natural brown of their wood which shined when the early sunlight hit it. Eugenides sat closest to the window parting the street from the interior and he found himself gazing at the brickwork and the cemented road for the sixth time in that hour. A wave of loneliness filled his chest like water in a hollowed space.
"Here you are," a female voice said.
He turned towards the bowl of cream chowder placed before him, bits and pieces of white meat and croutons peeking out the surface and he felt his stomach move at the scent of breakfast.
"It's not much but it's soup of the day!" she said brightly, tray pressed against her skirt. "Always the first thing we finish in the morning. Want some bread to go with it?"
Eugenides nodded to her, looking frail under the weight of his tattered brown cloak. "Yes," he said after.
"Right, I'll get you some," she said with a smile, a nod, and was off.
Eugenides returned his gaze to his background. It didn't take long for the waitress to return with half a bagel on a plate and she smiled to him sweetly again. "Well, eat up! Don't worry about paying, it's on the house."
I can pay, Eugenides had almost told her but decided to keep it to himself as he nodded to her and took up the spoon on the right side of the bowl by his left hand and began to stir his breakfast. Better to keep his money for as long as he can and act as he dressed. It would come as a surprise, after all, if she saw him revealing a healthy wad of bills from his mice-nibbled cloak pocket, both of which he stole from no less than two people in the same hour.
Eagerly, he slurped his breakfast and chewed the chicken meat. Warmth washed over his body and he didn't waste time on taking another sip. Finally, breakfast! Nothing can go wrong with breakfast...

THE ART WORLD review of the James Ensor retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. The James Ensor retrospective at the MOMA, curated by Anna Swinbourne, concerns a titanic exception to standard accounts of Western art since the late nineteenth century. The writer considers the Belgian Ensor (1860-1949) Edvard Munch's peer, a fugitive shooting star of the Northern European fin de siècle. Some of Ensor's imagery, during his seventy-six year, Ostend-based career, is familiar: cavorting skeletons; demonic figures; "Tribulations of Saint Anthony" (1887) and "Masks Mocking Death (Masks Confronting Death)" (1888); and the mural-size "Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889" (1888). The MOMA show, with its violent grandeur, affirms Ensor as a comic of the innocently malevolent id. He achieved leadership, in 1883, of a Brussels-centered group of avant-garde painters, the Twenty, and he specialized in satirical assaults on public figures and humanity as an unlovely whole. Ensor absorbed the influences of Courbet, Manet, Turner, and Whistler. But weirdness proved to be destiny, as Ensor connected with his Flemish Renaissance forebears Bosch and Brueghel. One of the foremost modern masters of etching ("Hop-Frog's Revenge" and "My Portrait in 1960" [1888])," Ensor painted like an angel while conceiving like a devil. But it would take a susceptible soul to reward the MOMA show with Ensor's strenuously sought response of laughter out loud.

Thread: Strung terribly wrong?! HELP!!
04-10-2007, 03:34 PM #52Originally Posted by Kimmysolucious
Next time, please do enough study before blaming others in public. From the picture, the string pattern is nothing wrong, though, does not follow Yonex official pattern 100%. However, since the purchase was made over sea, in theory, there's no warranty (from Yonex US) anyway. This particular pattern is easily to be found in Asia.
I understand you are not an experience stringer, and might be worried to receive a "less than common" product. However, this is a public forum, and you comments might seriously hurt a legit business firm. Please be aware, and be responsible next time.
Enjoy your racket, it does look great.
04-10-2007, 03:52 PM #53Originally Posted by LazyBuddy
Yes, it does look lovely, doesnt it? Plays well too. (And I know there's a forum on this one but I shall not get into that one.)
Wow.....25 crosses.......so "kun lik".
Keep it as a memento of how "not" to string a racket. I don't think you will ever find another 25 crosses.

Carmax Weathers Recession
Richmond-based Carmax has broken ground on its first new store in more than two years. It appears to be a bright spot among major area businesses.
Car Max is the largest used car retailer in the country; and during the recession, used car prices have risen twenty percent.
Hoffer: Car Max, I think, has weathered this economic downturn very well.
Long-time auto industry expert George Hoffer:
Hoffer: They tell me inventory's quite lean and they benefitted from the rise in used car prices, in the sense that they're the largest holder of used cars in the country, having the largest inventory.
Car Max's first new store in two years is going up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It currently has 103 stores in 26 states, and with plans to open eight to fifteen more through fiscal 2013, Hoffer says he's:
Hoffer: Bullish. Absolutely bullish.

Every FrameSet has a "base" Frame and a "current" Frame (which are allowed to be the same). Any of the Frames may be nominated to hold these positions, and the choice is determined by the values of the FrameSet's Base and Current attributes, which hold the indices of the relevant Frames. By default, the first Frame added to a FrameSet is its base Frame, and the last one added is its current Frame.
The base Frame describes the "native" coordinate system of whatever the FrameSet is used to calibrate (e.g. the pixel coordinates of an image) and the current Frame describes the "apparent" coordinate system in which it should be viewed (e.g. displayed, etc.). Any further Frames represent a library of alternative coordinate systems, which may be selected by making them current.
When a FrameSet is used in a context that requires a Frame, (e.g. obtaining its Title value, or number of axes), the current Frame is used. A FrameSet may therefore be used in place of its current Frame in most situations.
When a FrameSet is used in a context that requires a Mapping, the Mapping used is the one between its base Frame and its current Frame. Thus, a FrameSet may be used to convert "native" coordinates into "apparent" ones, and vice versa. Like any Mapping, a FrameSet may also be inverted (see AST_INVERT), which has the effect of interchanging its base and current Frames and hence of reversing the Mapping between them.
Regions may be added into a FrameSet (since a Region is a type of Frame), either explicitly or as components within CmpFrames. In this case the Mapping between a pair of Frames within a FrameSet will include the effects of the clipping produced by any Regions included in the path between the Frames.
Every FrameSet also inherits any further attributes that belong to its current Frame, regardless of that Frame's class. (For example, the Equinox attribute, defined by the SkyFrame class, is inherited by any FrameSet which has a SkyFrame as its current Frame.) The set of attributes belonging to a FrameSet may therefore change when a new current Frame is selected.

Coming Together to Help Homeless Youth
As temperatures drop for the winter, many youth in our communities are wondering where they are going to sleep each night. You may see them hanging out during the day in at a park or in the mall, and not know they are without a home. Rather than going to traditional adult shelters, they instead double up or couch surf because it feels safer.
In Boston, thanks to Bridge Over Troubled Waters' Warming Center, many of these kids have a safe, secure place to stay. As the City of Boston's only shelter for this age group open this winter, it is a critical resource. Continue reading

Django Unchained: Coonskin Redux?
By Guest Contributor Paul Barrett; originally published at New Solitudes
What I find surprising in the critical and personal responses I've heard to Django Unchained is the unwillingness to discuss what notions of race the film traffics in. What is Tarantino's vision of blackness and whiteness, and how does his aesthetic mode of borrowing from every movie he's ever seen contribute to his notion of race, cultural difference, and racism?
The feud between Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee is one point of entry for discussing Django Unchained. Lee refuses to see the film, arguing that "American slavery was not a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. It was a holocaust. My ancestors are slaves. Stolen from Africa. I will honor them."
At the heart of Lee's critique, and much of the debate over Django Unchained are the questions of historical appropriation–who has the right to tell particular stories–and the question of realism. The latter question really asks, how can we tell particular stories? Is it disrespectful, irresponsible, or racist to depict slavery as a spaghetti western or in an unreal fashion?
I find it interesting that the question of race and the representation of racial difference always seems to gravitate around notions of realism. First of all, these forms of representation are haunted by the question of whether race itself is real. If we agree that race is not, of course, a scientific reality, then what is it? Secondly, what forms of cultural representation can do justice to the very real historical and contemporary practices of racism without affirming race itself as somehow real?
This is a particularly prescient problem given what appears to be a new mutability of both notions of race and racism.
I suggest that Django Unchained is haunted by this paradox of racial realism: it wants to assert the reality of racism but slides into the trap of representing race itself as real and not a series of cultural and discursive practices that emerge in response to racist practice. I find it interesting that this paradox of racism seems to haunt avant garde and postmodern cultural production–this is perhaps spurred on by postmodernism's own anxieties about an already ephemeral realism. Steve Reich's "Come Out" seems to grapple with the same problems.
Ralph Bakshi's Coonskin contains many of the same contradictions and tensions as Django Unchained and offers an early instance of a white writer-director struggling with representing the contradictions of race within a postmodern mode of representation. Coonskin attracted much of the same criticism as Django, particularly as a white director represented/parodied/satirized the reality of blackness in America:
Harlem … Harlem … Harlem
Al Sharpton and other members of CORE protested the film's release, arguing that it was a racist depiction of blackness that trotted out all the old stereotypes of black people under the guise of irony and pastiche. Elaine Parker explained that Coonskin "depicts us as slaves, hustlers, and whores."
In a strange twist of racial ventriloquism, Bakshi wrote the opening song for Coonskin and the film begins with Scatman Crothers performing the song. The song is a toothless attempt to parody the very stereotypes that it ends up enforcing:
I'm a minstrel man
The cleaning man
The poor man
The shoeshine man
I'm a nigger man
Watch me dance
How do we begin to extricate irony, authenticity, racism, parody, pastiche from a film like Coonskin? The form of the film suggests that authenticity is impossible, that we all speaks in multiple fragmented, contradictory voices. Yet the content of the text suggests the exact opposite: that blackness is there to be spoken about, assessed, measured, worried about, policed, and regulated by white observers and commentators. Furthermore, is Bakshi's atttempt to represent blackness, both in this song and in the film, mere ventriloquism, a middle-aged white guy attempting to speak in the subaltern voice of cool young black men? Or is there something else at work here, an affirmation of a particular concept of race that, despite its ironic stance, still affirms old stereotypes of blackness?
In what ways, then, is Django Unchained, participating in the same affirmation of singular, authentic blackness that I suggest Coonskin traffics in? Certainly there is Tarantino's addiction to the n-word, a word he seems to enjoy using for its badass effect. i.e.: you say it = you are a badass.
For Tarantino the use of the word is not merely a means for him to gain access to a regulated world of badasses and men, but it also seems to signify authentic blackness. Is Tarantino, in this scene, attempting to signify that, despite his whiteness and his undeniable geekiness, that he is "down"? That his use of the n-word, his friendship with The Rza, and his aspiration to be the world's first 50-year-old white male Wu Wear model, signifies some kind of Tarantino-brand of authentic blackness?
Is Tarantino struggling with this paradox of racial realism–using anti-realist cultural forms (that throw the very distinction between representation and reality into question) to present narratives that insist upon the realism of particular notions of race? If so, what is the position of the black subject rendered "real" in his films and of the white subject who writes/enjoys these films?
Tarantino on writing his characters: "I'm now those people. I've learned more about them. I am them. They are going their own way. And I might have some places I want them to go. Usually they take their time about getting there. But sometimes they get there."
At once a statement about his method for writing his characters while also suggesting the overlap between Tarantino and his characters… I'm now those people…I am them…
In Tarantino's recent films, particularly Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds, he plays within this paradox of racial realism. He attempts to navigate the paradox through his attention to acts of performance and by insisting on the film as a space of performance itself. In Inglorious Basterds he breaks the fourth wall of film representation, implicating the audience in the pleasure they take from watching Nazis being gunned down all while showing them the face of Jewish vengeance. These meta-narrative moments in Inglorious Basterds force the audience to reflect on their own activity of happily consuming images of violence without necessarily suggesting any alternative to these images.
Similarly, in Django Unchained performance is a central element in Django's quest. He plays a valet and a black slaver, and it is Django's ability to perform these roles that enables him to rescue his wife from slavery and enact revenge upon the plantation slavery system. Thus, Tarantino seems aware, in the structure of his narrative, that identity is about performance. Django outsmarts Monsieur Candy and others because of his ability to transform his identity and project different images of blackness to a believing white audience. Is this incorporation of acts of performance into the narrative a means out of this paradox of racial realism that was unavailable to Bakshi?
In another sense though, I argue that despite the importance of performance within Tarantino's narratives, blackness remains a privileged sign of alterity, difference, and badassedness. Django is able to perform different identities within a range of possibilities but this range remains circumscribed by a conception of "real blackness" that Tarantino has obviously drawn from the Blaxploitation movies he loves. Django is not free to transform his identity at will but is able to perform particular identities that align with a white audience's conception of blackness–both in terms of the white audiences he encounters in the film and the audiences that will watch Django Unchained. Tarantino traffics in particular depictions of black people that he alleges are at once realistic, in that they are not racist stereotypes, but that are in fact shaped by his conception of what constitutes "real blackness."
The fundamental trouble with Django Unchained is not merely that it decontextualizes slavery, transforming hundreds of years of bondage into a videogame-like shoot-em-up narrative, nor that it is historically inaccurate, nor that it depicts every slave as silent, submissive, and subservient, nor that it neatly and inaccurately represents the transformation of the black subject from slave to capitalism entrepreneur, nor that the images of brutal violence against black bodies do not merely admonish slavery but become a component of pleasure in a broad spectrum of stylized, fetishized, and generally cool violence in the film. Of course these are problems.
The fundamental problem with the film, however, is that it cannot escape this paradox of racial realism that attempts to represent some "core" or "reality" of what it means to be black that ends up reproducing the very racist stereotypes that the film claims to counter. Despite Tarantino's aesthetic achievements, he is unable to disrupt the fundamentally racist claim that there is such a thing as "real blackness" and that it is fundamentally different than whiteness.
Paul Gilroy has discussed the transformation in racism from the "crude biologism" of phrenology to a "new culturalism" that treats race as a form of cultural difference while smuggling old conceptions of racial difference and racial hierarchy in through the back door. I suggest that this is new culturalism is at work in Django Unchained. As with Spielberg's Lincoln, black people in Django Unchained do not speak in their own voices but rather reflect back a performed version of blackness that does little to disrupt concepts of racial difference. Indeed in both films black people are primarily talked about, discussed, worried over, and instructed by white actors. Tarantino's film suggests a number of possibilities for employing narrative to disrupt the paradox of racial realism, but he never really achieves this within the film.
Tarantino's history is not history, it's playing with movie history, so all his claims to authenticity in terms of the history in his movie are false right there. Twice as much since all of his movies are about the past of movies, which are entertainment, but not history.
Within entertainment in the U.S. the truth of our racial history can be found in many forms of music — including non-entertainment but worship and praise music, which in turn influenced entertainment music — you might think — but never in movies.

It seems that part of the problem with the identification of aesthetic and racial realism in Tarantino's film, and the subsequently troubling cultural essentialism that he may present, involves a much broader argument on the revolutionary potential of aesthetic form. The author correctly points to the element of performance and awareness in Tarantino's filmmaking, which implicates the audience in a much more radical way than most audiences are prepared for. Part of this performance and awareness is a highly stereotyped performance of race, where performance is highly racialized and therefore highly problematic. His filmmaking moves beyond realism toward a highly exaggerated and abstracted realism, that attempts to deal with issues on an epistemological / ontological level. I think where Tarantino takes the audience, however, is toward a thorough critique not only of the film, but of themselves where their own enjoyment of the spectacle is inherently problematic. As in the burning of the theater in "Basterds" and in the Mandingo fighting in "Django," the viewer is made aware of their own complicity in these modes of violence as entertainment. Ultimately, Tarantino's exaggerated filmmaking technique brings the audience to a critique of contemporary constructions of society, race, and the self. Through criticizing the audience's culpability, and through his somewhat abstracted filmmaking, Tarantino invites the audience to see reality as more vicious than they otherwise may have. Simply put, Tarantino's problematic portrayal of race is mean to discomfort the audience; through this discomfort the audience learns to be maladjusted to the broader world outside of the theater.
http://the-wilsonian.blogspot.com/ Wilson
But this is a major problem for the film. The gender politics were especially troubling, where Broomhilda appeared to Django as an idealized daydream figure more than as a real character. She is as flattened as most of the other black characters, and only Django is able to assert agency in the film. Due to Django's singularity in his agency, and in his single-minded pursuit of saving Broomhilda-as-damsel, the film posits a troubling bourgeois reduction. Django is individuated and does not speak for any collective, racial or otherwise. Instead, his single-minded pursuit of his wife reinforces a hyper-masculinist ethos, which does not allow Django to develop a mindset of liberating other slaves. He never develops a Fanonian perspective on oppression. The gender politics of the film are inherently conservative, and the racial politics left unexplored. Django speaks only for himself.

New eco-Awareness site from The Guardian
Hello all,
I'm doing some work for The Guardian on their new eco-awareness website, 'Tread Lightly'. I'd like to hear any comments you might have about the site, the pledging system or about the issues surrounding it Please post your comments here and feel free to be as brutally honest as you like Thanks in advance... http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...CTreadLightly2 About Tread lightly Do you want to live a more low-carbon lifestyle, but are unsure where to start? Tread lightly is a community of people committed to reducing their CO2 emissions through making weekly pledges and recording their actions against their pledges. This will enable people to step up their efforts to reduce their own CO2 emissions, and also to track the combined efforts of the community.

Thread: Purple Camouflage
Purple Camouflage
Ever since PSI/M&T opened its doors I have seen many fans wear these clothes during the season. what significance does this have to the fans and what does it have to do with the ravens? Is this a Maryland thing. For example you never see anyone else in our division walking around with NFL team fatigues. IMO those that do wear them seem to be very rowdy and loud in the tailgating area or maybe it just gives the appearance of that.
There isn't a ravens emblem/logo on it or anything yet there are swarms of people wearing it. Is this sold by the team. I usually see people selling these clothes by the UPS store across from lot J, so i don't think that its put out by the Ravens.
Do you wear these clothes and what do you think about them?
WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you. My Heart is with the Raven....My Heart is with Baltimore and its great fans. What can I say. Here We Go!!! --Ray Lewis
No, Thank you Ray...
Re: Purple Camouflage
I wear those...those are my game day combat ready fatigues. I think they are unique to Ravens fandom. They bring out and complete my 'Crowdog' persona on game day....
we aren't just loyal, we are obsessed. and we are violently so. we are baltimore, and we are the epitome of dysfunctionality.

Re: Purple Camouflage
I love my cammo hat--would not be caught dead in the pants cause it would just be scary. I also have a shirt and jacket I love. Way I see it its the easiest way to get stuff into the stadium.
The Bengals had those really creepy tiger striped pants.
Re: Purple Camouflage
Good subject....
It has everything to do with the Ravens. It's a "Bawlmer" thing. Like "Hon", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "downy oshun". Some of y'all Yankees describe such local traits as "quirky".
I have seen camos worn in other team colors at other stadiums, such as Atlanta. But in small numbers.
The "very rowdy and loud in the tailgating area" is a sweeping generalization which is incorrect. Yes, there are some rowdy and loud fans, just like there are fans in the tailgate areas who like to just drink & eat & quietly talk football. Even team members wear camo. The camo cult cuts across all lines.
A Ravens logo would be superfluous and would just add to the price. Every local fan knows the purple camos = Ravens.
They can be bought almost anywhere there are stands near the stadium. The best prices that I have seen are on Sharp Street across from Lot H.
I have camo hats, tee shirts, pants, handkerchiefs and shorts. Mostly well faded and worn since I bought them in the '99 and '00 seasons -- so it's time to restock!
Wear whatever makes you happy. I know other Ravens fans who refuse to wear anything purple, and some who won't wear anything football related.
We have come a long way since I was a teen, required to wear coat and tie to Colts games:
or maybe we wore coats & ties because we went directly from church, straight to Memorial Stadium for the 2 pm kick-offs!In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Purple Camouflage
Let me first say to each his/her own. With that said you couldnt pay me to wear any of that camo gear, i think it looks absolutely terrible. It reminds me of the nerdy kid in school that tried too hard but just couldnt get it right. But hey, what ever floats your boat.
Re: Purple Camouflage
Cammo clothes. WTF? Special Forces wannabee? Grownup G.I. Joes? And purple yet. What terrain does that blend in with? Maybe Mars, but as far as I am aware we haven't landed there yet. Mabe the D.O.D. suspects muslim terrorists on the Red Planet.
Closest parallel I can think of was the equally silly passion for leisure suits in the 1970s.
Purple is regal. It was the 'royal color in medieval Europe. Wear purple by all means-it will make you feel better and will make a statement to the rest of the league.
But...leave the camouflage to the pros to those who need it - like the Detroit police dept.

Re: Purple Camouflage
A bunch of people in my Roost (18) wear the camo pants. I don't because they're too hot in warm weather and I've got better cold weather gear. Its all either purple or black, so I am fan-color-coordinated.

I don't have any of these type clothes but its OBVIOUS to most people that Raven's fans wear them. The significance to the team is that A LOT of people wear them at the same time, i.e. gameday. Its become a Raven thing. My question to you is, why is this so hard to understand?

Re: Purple Camouflage
I think they are horribly ugly but I also think they're a great show of team spirit. I'd wear a pair if I didn't already have a pair of Ravens pants that my ex-girlfriend helped me make. I wish I had a picture of them to share with y'all. I took an old pair of white cords and split the seams down each side (on the outside) and sewed in fabric featuring the Ravens logo and also different patches for colors on the MD state flag. You've gotta have some good game-day gear, ha.
I've never seen fans from another team wear the team-colored camos, but I'd be surprised if we're the only city wearing them. I also think it's unfair to categorically say people who wear these pants are more or less rowdy than anyone else.

Who cares if its old news or not, the point is that its as good as a 2600K which Bulldozer was meant to be last yr and the 2600K is not a slow CPU either, am i right?
Kinda wish you would have included some Phenom comparisons. Specially since the BD couldn't even beat Phenoms in many benches.
No chip, sorry. If I had one...would have only added several hours of testing...on a BIOS that is only a week old...but I woulda done it.
That was also my thought. Any other parameter is bound by the different system setups. All I was really interested in was the relative gain over the FX-8150 (stock vs stock and clock vs clock) 5GHz with the AMD AIO "watercooler" 5.1-5.2GHz if you like your CPU's crispy (1.5+V) There is a variance in what constitutes "power consumption-load", but that's to be expected. Most seemed to use some common sense- x264, multi-tasking, multithreaded gaming...but of course there are always going to some that view anything short of LinX as a cheat- probably the same kind of people that think transient peak load under OCCT represents "real world" testing. My point was that if the system was the same, the cooling was equal and adequate (to take throtting out of the equation) , and the test between the two CPU's from the same review on any given site, then the only other parameters of contention are methodology in measuring power draw, and variation in CPU -which I tried to eliminate by using a larger pool of reviews. An outlier would probably be an early ES vs late stepping- but that would likely show up in comparitive testing in earlier reviews.
It completely matters, comparing a brand new chip to one that's over a year old and not even sold anymore, is hardly a fair comparison again, all comparisons of the 8350 should be done against the 3570K !
Yeah, I'm kinda lost here why my numbers are so far out of the mix...but oh well. Either I got a really good 8350...or perhaps 8150? I am not sure.... A quick look at chip pics seems we all got the same batch? I wonder who gets the highest clocks...Imma gonna have to have another go at it when i get some time.
Not to me it doesn't, in my eyes a 2600K is a very fast CPU (regardless if its new or not) and in fact still faster then the 3570K is it not? so im quite happy to compare the 3570K to the FX-8350, doesn't worry me in the least
Its good that the 8350 finally manages to beat the Intel 2500k and in most cases is similar to the 2600k. (not in gaming though ) But those processors are really old. Is there any advantage (feature wise / besides 8 cores) to AMD's alternative now? (being it a bit late but finally overcoming those intels) Also sad to see that memory performance is still lower than the 2500/2600. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_fx_8350_processor_review,17.html Can someone explain whyyyyy
Great review cadaveca Looks like the major improvements were in power consumption idle, Pricing is pretty good actually. Now we wait for SteamRoller. btw FYI Computer Hardware, AMD, Processors - Desktops, So... (Thank OneMoar for the Link above) 220 for the 8350
Colour me impressed... almost thinking of switching from a i7-3770... BTW... I've been reading tons of news and stuff about AMD's plans in the past weeks (maybe not so much in the past days tho), but I don't remember anything about Vishera 2.0 or Trinity 2.0, Orochi die and so on... can someone get me up to speed? A link maybe too.
I am planning to build a new rig to replace my aging c2quad and my only problem from jumping into buying this chip is the power consumption needed to use it. I found out that my power consumption should be less than 500KW if I want to stay at my 13 cent per Kilowatt billing tier. If I go over, my rate will change to 18 cent a Kilowatt. I could stomach the added cost if they'll charge me 18 cents/KW if it will only go towards the excess... but it won't. It will be the new rate for my whole monthly energy consumption. They say it's to give incentive to people who save power but since I am already about 490KW a month average, I don't want the added cost since between my younger sister and my gaming habits account to about 6-7 hours a day of usage, I might end up getting the i7 since the difference in power consumption will most likely cover the price difference between the 2 processors in about 4 months of usage.
9 out 10...you've got to be fucking joking,right? "Low" but adequate single-threaded performance will not appeal to some. You said it...in this regard the chip is still a dog...utterly useless for emulation. From a reviewer who knows what their talking about... "If you are looking to upgrade a full system then it's impossible to recommend. It's too slow, it draws too much power, it's too hot. It's just not worth it." "We so wanted this to be a return to form for AMD. This is the best they have to offer, and they are still a mile behind the competition." "For AMD, start with a fresh sheet of paper."
well, it's good cpu IMO. It's certainly not enough to compete with intel to us avarge gammers / users, but it sure has it uses for a different type of user, whom work with applications that will benefit a lot from the 8 core advantage from AMD. As for me, I'll just look for a 2600k to upgrade from my G620
Yea of course its slow, a 2600K is one mega slow CPU hey? power draw is down a good margin from BD so yea totally terrible, shit yes 53c is smoking hot omg under $200 yea spot on man WAY over priced, what where they thinking? :shadedshu
What kind of response is this? The 8350 is slower than much cheaper Intel chips in a lot of the benchmarks that some people actually care about - see the 99th percentile Skyrim graph above. In addition, it uses far more power than any recent competitive Intel offering of similar performance. Particularly when overclocked, using more power translates to getting hotter. I happen to agree that the 8350 is not impossible to recommend, but instead is only recommendable to a certain type of buyer (one who does not prioritise games, who does prioritise certain highly threaded tasks, who does not stress the CPU enough for the electricity bill to eliminate the savings). But when you put forward an argument like that, you destroy any chance of persuading anybody of its merits.
Still waiting for that "under $200" price. Guess maybe after launch week that price might finally get to places. Is there going to be a 8320 review too? Curious about the clocking potential what with the 500Mhz stock clock difference.

Current & Upcoming Films
Co-presented by
3rd i SF International South Asian Film Festival
Director Micha X. Peled in Person Friday & Saturday. More appearances to be announced.
Free ice cream at Opening Night, sponsored by the LabelGMOs campaign!
"The first two documentaries in Micha X. Peled's globalization trilogy—Store Wars: When Wal-Mart Comes to Town (SFIFF 2001) and China Blue (SF Asian-American FF 2005)—exposed the effects of multinational corporate profiteering on workers, whether Americans at Walmart or young Levi's jeans factory workers in China. Bitter Seeds, the final film in the trilogy, is a vibrant investigation of the predicament of central Indian cotton farmers, caught up in a vicious cycle courtesy of Monsanto's genetically modified seeds. Refused loans by the banks, the farmers borrow from illegal moneylenders at exorbitant interest and inevitably fall into irredeemable debt, further aggravated by low yields and a need for more fertilizer and water. For the most desperate, the way out is suicide by drinking pesticide—such deaths now number over 250,000. The tiny miracle in this seemingly hopeless globalization tragedy is the daughter of one such suicide victim. Eighteen-year-old Manjusha yearns to be a journalist to expose the reasons for the suicides, but she has is up against family objections and village traditions. Peled's latest heroine fights on the frontline of this global human and environmental crisis, driven by a desire to voice the perspective and preserve the dignity of the powerless." —Frako Loden. Prod & Dir: Micha X. Peled. USA, 2011, 88 min. Nightly at 7:00 & 9:15. Additional Saturday & Sunday (3:00) & 5:00.

Gwent firms can't spot staff on drugs - survey (From Campaign Series)

Gwent firms can't spot staff on drugs - survey
5:01pm Tuesday 20th August 2013 in News
A SURVEY has claimed that a third of Gwent employers wouldn't know if a worker is under the influence of recreational drugs.
That's despite more than 80 per cent saying they had written policies in place against drugs, and a similar number saying they are worried that drug taking outside of work could have a negative impact on safety and job performance in the work place.
The survey of 40 Gwent businesses was conducted by researchers RMG for Synergy Health, which provides toxicology services and has labs in Abergavenny.
According to the survey, 32 per cent of firms admitted they don't have enough knowledge or training to identify if a worker is under the influence of recreational drugs.
However 85 per cent of companies claimed to exercise zero tolerance towards substance abuse among staff.
The figures were released ahead of a conference, organised by Synergy Health, at the University of South Wales next month looking at the problem of drug use in the workplace.
The one-day 'Drugs at Work' conference takes place the University of South Wales' Glyntaff Campus in Pontypridd on September 5.
Martin Tavener, a former detective chief inspector with the Welsh police regional organised crime unit and a speaker at the conference, said: "By claiming a zero tolerance approach, the majority of employers clearly recognise that the effects of drugs and alcohol within the workplace are potentially detrimental to their business, yet far fewer appear to be able or willing to enforce this stance and effectively seem to be turning a blind eye.
"Besides poor attendance and performance, those under the influence of drugs are a danger to other employees or even customers.
"If control measures are not in place, or are not being actively enforced, employers could find themselves vulnerable to prosecution in the event of an incident. Every business has a responsibility to engage with employees and promote a workplace that is safe from those who abuse drugs and alcohol."
Synergy technical services manager Dr Philip Kindred said: "Policies are only as good as the people enforcing them. If managers don't have the skills or the will to enforce these policies they might as well not exist and the potential risks to colleagues, customers and company reputation remain."

Kerry Washington has always been one of my favourite red carpet goers. She always manages to look incredibly chic and fresh but recently she's been on the down low. Last night, though, she made a welcomed return to the red carpet at the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
For the occasion, she chose this floor length shimmering sequin Vivienne Westwood couture gown with a subtle drape and it works. The metallic works beautifully against her skin and he simple drop down earrings and pulled back hair finish the look off perfectly.
What do you think?

Fiscal cliff deal leads to revenue loss for state
One side effect of the deal that averted a so-called fiscal cliff in Washington is a loss of more than $200 million in tax revenue for the state of Wisconsin.By: By Shawn Johnson, Wisconsin Public Radio, Superior Telegram
One side effect of the deal that averted a so-called fiscal cliff in Washington is a loss of more than $200 million in tax revenue for the state of Wisconsin.
Whether anyone expected to get it or not, on paper, the Walker administration was planning on $219 million in new revenue from a revival of the estate tax. It's part of the reason the administration was able to project $1.5 billion in revenue growth over the next two years.
But when Congress prevented the state estate tax from going back into effect, it meant Wisconsin would go without that money. Jon Peacock is a budget analyst with the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, "So it means a much more challenging time for the legislature for balancing the budget, and it's going to make it harder to do an income tax cut, which the governor had been talking about."
Already, new revenue growth was not projected to cover all the spending requests by state agencies. This means that gap would grow.
Todd Berry with the Wisconsin Taxpayer's Alliance says it's something lawmakers and the Governor will have to deal with. But Berry says it's a relatively small number, "A couple hundred million dollars in revenue one way or another--although it causes the legislature and media to focus--in the scheme of an overall two-year budget is almost rounding error or estimating error. So in that sense it's not huge."
The decision by Congress does not affect the current state budget, which is still projected to end with $467 million in the bank between the state's general fund and a rainy day fund.
