CASTLE DALE - On March 23, 2012, aunt, sister, and "other Mother", Dorothy Holland Cowan Miller, age 97, left the surly bonds of earth to join her beloved late husband, Marvin R. Miller, who passed away in 2004.
Dorothy was born on May 5, 1914, in Albany, Clinton County, Ky. to James Samuel and Margaret Lee Cummings Cowan. With a love of horses, music, and travel, she migrated to Dayton, Ohio, and McAllen, Texas. In 1948, a visit with the Emily Henzi family in Castle Dale, led her to the love of her life, Marvin Miller, the son of Willard and Anna Laura Wood Miller. They were married in Grand Junction, Colo. on Oct. 15, 1948. Marvin was the former co-owner of Miller and Curtis Meat Packing Company in Castle Dale, along with Rohmer Curtis. Dorothy became a member of the LDS Church early in their long marriage.
She is survived by a sister, Ruby Shweiterman of Kettering, Ohio. Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Marvin; brother, Wendell Cowan; and three sisters: Emma Hively, Anna Claborn, and Opal Hunter.
Dorothy's niece, Dorothy Lee Young Doll, lived with Dorothy and Marvin Miller eight of her childhood years, attending local schools. Affectionately known to Dorothy Doll's family as "Ma and Pa", Marvin and Dorothy remained important figures in her life, and that of her family. Dorothy Doll and husband, Henry Wm. Doll, plus their children: Henry Doll III of Fairfield, Calif., Jane Marie Beebe of Milpitas, Calif., Kathleen Ann Hodgins of Portland, Ore., and Rebecca Lee Suppes of Fernley, Nev., as well as their families, mourn, but celebrate the wonderful lives of this couple, who were so devoted to them. Dorothy Miller's loss is also felt by the loving families of the late Marvin Miller: Neva Smith, Doris Miller (Mrs. Dee Miller), and Ted and Delana Miller. Their families from Utah, Arizona, Ohio and Colorado, as well as, Dorothy's family from California, Oregon, Nevada, Ohio, and Georgia make up two generations of many nieces and nephews. Dorothy and Marvin Miller contributed to the higher education of several of these family members.
Dorothy's declining years were spent battling the effects of early onset Alzheimer's. Her generosity, devotion, and love of her family and friends will be long remembered.
Dorothy Lee Doll and her family wish to thank everyone who assisted and contributed to the happiness, health, and well-being of Dorothy and Marvin. Their kind words and heart-warming gestures are treasured, and they exemplify the spirit of God's love within us. They are a credit to their families, culture and community.
Until we meet again, may God hold Dorothy and Marvin in the palm of his hand. We pray God's golden promise of heaven and reunion comfort all who knew and loved her.
"I know that thou art not far, for near, in need, the angels are..." ~John G. Whittier
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, March 27, 2012, at 11 a.m. at Fausett Mortuary (720 N. Center St., Castle Dale). There will be a viewing from 9:30 - 10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the mortuary. Interment will be in the Castle Dale City Cemetery.
Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Dorothy at www.fausettmortuary.com.
In lieu of floral offerings, please contribute to the Alzheimer's foundation, Beehive Homes in Elmo, or a charity of your choice.

Virgin Blue Takes Top Airline Honours At AFTA Awards: Best National Airline And Best Regional Airline10/07/2006
Virgin Blue is flying high after taking out the two top airline awards at the AFTA (Australian Federation of Travel Agents) National Travel Industry Awards.
The glittering annual event was held in Melbourne over the weekend and recognised the leading companies from a range of travel sectors including airlines, hotels, travel agents, car rental companies and wholesalers.
Virgin Blue was nominated for the first time in two categories, Best Airline Regional and Best Airline National, two categories traditionally dominated by Qantas. In a surprise upset that could rival Italy's soccer world cup win, Virgin Blue was named winner of both categories.
The dual awards come at a time when Virgin Blue is evolving from a Low Cost Carrier to a New World Carrier which balances the high quality products and services offered by legacy carriers, such as corporate lounge facilities and a frequent flyer program "Velocity", with the low cost base of the LCC model.
The finalists are nominated by travel agents who then vote for their favourite out of the shortlist based on personal experience in their dealings with the company from both their own and their clients (the traveller's) perspective. The award criteria is based around a combination of factors including customer service, product and innovation.
Virgin Blue's General Manager, Sales, Mathias Friess, accepted both awards on behalf of the Virgin Blue team.
"It is an absolute honour to have taken out not one, but two awards in our first year as a nominee and it's a true reflection of the commitment of our people to make the Virgin Blue experience a good one for both our Guests as well as travel agents", he said.
He continued, "Virgin Blue and its travel industry sales team values its strong working relationship with industry as we strive for the mutual goal of stimulating tourism."
AFTA Chief Executive, Mike Hatton said, "This is the first year Virgin Blue has been nominated as a finalist in the awards and to take out both National Airline and Regional Airline awards is a great achievement for an airline that is obviously doing something very right."
Virgin Blue's strategy of introducing high quality, low fare jet aircraft services to regional Australian ports traditionally services by turbo prop aircraft continues to prove its merit. Its regional route network is growing as are tourism numbers to regional destinations. Virgin Blue currently offers convenient low cost flights to 15 regional ports including Coffs Harbour, Ballina, Launceston, Mackay, Rockhampton, Cairns, Gold Coast, Maroochydore and Hervey Bay to name a few.
Other big winners at the AFTA awards were Virgin Blue's Velocity partner, Emirates Airlines for Best International Carrier and Accor for Best Hotel/Resort Group.

Bava Basra 72 - 78
A Study in Skepticism
A student heard Rabbi Yochanan's sermon about the gates which G-d would install at the entrance to Jerusalem in the hereafter. A gateway of 10 by 20 cubits would be cut out of precious jewels measuring 30 by 30 cubits. The skeptical student mockingly remarked that if we are unable to locate jewels even the size of a small bird's egg how can we believe that such tremendous jewels will ever exist? On a subsequent sea journey this unbelieving student saw heavenly angels sawing away at jewels of 30 by 30 to make an opening of 10 by 20. When he asked them what this work was intended for, they replied that they were preparing the future gates of Jerusalem. Upon his return to Rabbi Yochanan this now believing student reported that he had actually seen what his master had described. Rabbi Yochanan's response was that if he believed what he had heard only because he saw it with his own eyes he was guilty of mocking the words of the Sages and the outraged Sage's disapproving gaze turned the skeptic into a pile of bones.
Tosefos in Masechta Chulin 57b raises the question as to why the severe judgment visited upon this skeptic did not apply to Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta who conducted a scientific experiment to test King Solomon's description of the ants as having no ruler. His resolution is that while Rabbi Yochanan's student actually questioned the truth of his master's teaching there was no question in the mind of Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta of the truth of King Solomon's words. He simply wanted to determine whether the wisest of men knew this as a result of his own scientific exploration or of divine revelation.

NHTSA — Power Train: Automatic Transmission Problems
2010 Hyundai Santa Fe (Page 1 of 3)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe apparently has a problem with the engine stalling while driving.
In a 2-page letter to Santa Fe owners from August 2014, Hyundai claims the engine stalling only occurs under a "specific set of operating conditions".
However a class action lawsuit filed around the same time details multiple claims from Sante Fe owners that claim the engine stalling happens at any time, under any conditions.
Although the model year range in the lawsuit is 2010-2012, the stalling complaint trend hasn't shown up in our data for the 2010 model year. Both the 2011 & 2012 Santa Fe model years DO show a significant defect trend of the engine stalling.
Currently we're not rating the 2010 Santa Fe as "bad" or "poor". Just be aware of this potentially serious problem.

The mistake people often make (not us of course!) is thinking that a simple jeans and a t-shirt won't equate to a stellar outfit. The tip here is giving a little twist to the t-shirt that you pair with the jeans! This fashion blogger demonstrates by wearing her skinny jeans with what seems to be from the front just a plain white tee—but wait! The cut-out detailing in the back of the shirt take this outfit from plain jane to straight up style maven! We're giving her extra points for rocking the wedges too, which always create a long leg… and let's face it: if you're going to wear a killer cut-out back, you might as well snag legs for days too! So when you're stumped trying to figure out what to pair your favorite denim with, break out that daring top you've been dying to wear and work it!

Militant atheism and the intellectual slothfulness of PZ Myers
The Christian apologists Ken Ammi declares concerning the intellectual slothfulness of PZ Myers:
| That PZ Myers is emotively vociferous is evident to anyone who reads, well, virtually anything that he has ever written on any subject at all.
It is likewise evident that he is intellectually mute. How so? Where are his scholarly works on the truth of atheism? He has produced none.
He merely presupposes God's non-existence without evidence, see:
ITS NAME IS DOOM — PZ Myers' A Priori Presuppositional Presumption of Atheism
PZ Myers is Refreshingly Honest: Doom, Gloom and a Positive Affirmation of God's Non-Existence to Boot!
PZ Myers – Contra Mitch Daniels and Pro Positive Affirmation of God's Non-Existence, part 1 of 2
PZ Myers' Dogmatheism Catechism
Etc., etc., etc.....
Where then are his proofs of atheism and disproof of theism? None exist but merely emotive besmirchments of straw-men and straw-gods.
His lack of scholarship and intellectual rigor in these areas, as well as the truth of my statements above, may be demonstrated in the following examples (which are a mere few of many).
PZ Myers dismisses Vox Day's book The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens while admitting to only having read a few chapters.
Yet, he refuses to debate Vox Day on the existence of God, or evolution for that matter (Myers being a professor of biology) based on dismissing a book he barely read (yes, it is merely a lame excuse which he peppered with a barrage of emotive ad hominems) — see Speaking of Assiduous Absconders…Yet Again, Vox Day Challenges PZ Myers to Debate.
PZ Myers also dismissed Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design referring to it as a "stinker," "drivel" and "Discovery Institute Bulldung" whilst stating that, "Stephen Meyer lies." Yet, he stated all of this, and more, whilst stating, "I suppose I'll have to read that 600 page pile of slop sometime…"....This fact alone shows that he needs to read it, as Intelligent Design proponents are constantly begging their opponents to stop mischaracterizing Intelligent Design theory as holding to something to the likes of it's so complex, it must have been . . . designed!
PZ Myers also refused to debate anyone from Creation Ministries International (CMI) even while he was in Australia for the preaching-to-the-choir-back-patting Global Atheist Convention - The Rise of Atheism – the "biggest ever atheist event in Australia's history"...
Clearly, PZ Myers is popular because he scratches where many atheists itch: atheism is an emotional rejection of God very, very thinly veneered in a facade of scientific and intellectual respectability. Thus, PZ Myers plays upon and stokes the fires of emotion yet, he has not, is not and who knows if he ever will engage the intellect.[1]
PZ Myers, New Atheism, intellectual slothfulness and health issues
PZ Myers' Health issues
See also: New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight
A 2009 picture of a significantly overweight PZ Myers can be found HERE. A 2010 picture taken in Australia shows PZ Myers drinking ale/beer and he had excess weight in his abdominal area.[4] In 2010, PZ Myers had health problems related to his heart.[5] In addition, medical science research indicates that excess weight impairs brain function.[6][7] Given PZ Myers' biological training and the wide dissemination of the harmful health effects of being overweight in terms of cardiovascular health and brain function, it is unfortunate that preventative medicine was not used in greater measure in terms of his health.[8][9][10] PZ Myers inattention to diligently implementing the recommendations of nutritional science, exercise science and medical science is not entirely surprising given his vehement advocacy of evolutionary pseudoscience. There have been a number of notable evolutionists who have been overweight. In addition, the atheist community appears to have problems with obesity. On June 1, 2011, Myers posted a picture of himself and others on his blog and Myers appeared to no longer have issues with being overweight.[11]
Atheist blogger PZ Myers, excess weight and study on internet usage
See also: Atheism and the internet
Atheists are very active on the internet and PZ Myers is an active atheist blogger. In 2009, an Australian university study was done concerning the association between leisure time internet and computer use with being overweight and/or obese and also sedentary.[12] The study concluded: "These findings suggest that, apart from nutritional and physical activity interventions, it may also be necessary to decrease time spent in sedentary behaviors, such as leisure-time Internet and computer use, in order to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity."[13]
New atheism leadership's problems with being overweight
For additional information please see: New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight
PZ Myers is a leader within the New Atheism movement which is a militant form of atheism. The New Atheism leadership has had significant issues with being overweight (please see: New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight).
The term New Atheism which first appeared in the November 2006 edition of Wired magazine, is frequently applied to a series of six best-selling books by five authors that appeared in the period between 2004–2008. These authors include Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Victor J. Stenger and Christopher Hitchens.[14] 3 out of 5 of these atheist men have had issues with being overweight as can be seen HERE and HERE and HERE Also, as noted above PZ Myers has had problems with being overweight. In the late 1990s, Dennet had coronary artery bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass surgery reroutes blood around clogged arteries to enhance blood flow and oxygen to the heart).[15][16] As of May 2011, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris have not publicly commented on the significant problems the New Atheism leadership has experienced in terms of overweight members.
Hippocrates was an early advocate of the health benefits of exercise and nutrition.[17] On the other hand, PZ Myers and a significant amount of other New Atheism leaders, seem to lack a full appreciation of the worthiness of nutritional science, exercise science and the latest findings of medical science (see: New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight}. Also, unlike PZ Myers, Hippocrates was pro-life.[18]

Big name hunting
Robin Brownlee
June 19 2008 10:00AM
I said it before and I'll say it again—Kevin Lowe's focus at the 2008 Entry Draft in Ottawa Friday will be on making a trade for an established first-line forward, not on moving up from 22nd in selection order.
If you're the betting type, wager that the Edmonton Oilers GM will spend more time taking and making calls about a package of players including Joni Pitkanen to swing a deal than he will studying his scouting staff's draft list. Whether he pulls it off is another matter.
While there's a good chance the Oilers will get a keeper with the 22nd pick in a deep draft—history suggests Lowe won't move up in order—names called Friday won't be factors for two, three or even four years.
Here and now, Lowe covets a player who can complement Ales Hemsky. To that end, Pitkanen can be had. So can add-ins like Raffi Torres, Jarret Stoll and suspect prospect Rob Schremp. If it takes more, that's do-able, too—if the name coming back is right.
Lowe made waves in his first draft as GM in Calgary in 2000 when he dealt Roman Hamrlik to the New York Islanders for Eric Brewer, Josh Green and a pick that turned into Brad Winchester.
Of course, the big splash doesn't always come off. Lowe tried to get the Islanders No. 1 pick in Cowtown, but couldn't. He quietly shopped Mike Comrie at the draft in Nashville without success before a nasty break-up with Little Mikey went public.
Even if Lowe can't get something done until later this summer, bet the farm he'll be pitching in Ottawa.
Based on educated guesswork and conversations with Kevin Prendergast and his scouting staff, here's four prospects the Oilers would love to get a crack at with the 22nd pick.
KYLE BEACH, EVERETT WHL, CS RANK 7Centre. Shoots Right. 6'3", 203 lbs. Born: North Vancouver
- Finished second overall in goals and third overall in points (27-33-60) on the Silvertips in 2007–08.
- Was the only player in the WHL in 2007–08 to average a point per game while averaging over three penalty minutes per-game (3.7).
- Awarded the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the WHL Rookie of the Year after scoring 29 goals (29-32-61) during the 2006–07 season.
Central Scouting's Blair MacDonald:
"Beach is one of the top forwards in this year's draft and is probably the most competitive—from the blue line in there is no one who competes like him. He's feisty, he's got a reputation for being physical and agitating a little bit and is the power forward in this year's draft. He has good scoring skills and a very accurate shot, and from the blue line in, once he gets the puck, he almost owns it."
THE WAY I SEE IT: Even with questions about attitude and maturity, there's no way Beach will drop out of the top 10, and certainly not as far as 22nd. No chance unless the Oilers move up to get him.
COLTEN TEUBERT, REGINA WHL, CS RANK 18Defence. Shoots Right. 6'4", 185 lbs. Born: White Rock, BC
- Finished third on his team in defensive scoring with 23 points (7-16-23) in 2007–08.
- Represented Canada at the 2008 IIHF Under-18 World Championships.
- Was a member of Team Canada at the Under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial in 2007 and represented Team British Columbia at the 2007 Winter Games.
Director of Central Scouting, E.J. McGuire:
"Colten is a smooth skating defenseman, who can skate the puck out of trouble and can jump up the ice with the puck. I like Colten for a lot of reasons, but most of all for his ability to take charge of the game. He projects as a support three or four defenseman, at least initially in the NHL, with a good offensive upside who won't hurt you on defence."
THE WAY I SEE IT: The Oilers will be doing handstands if Teubert is available and they'll run to the podium screaming his name if that's the case. It'll take a swap with somebody in the top 15.
EVGENY GRACHEV, YAROSLAVL RUSSIA, CS RANK 9 European skatersCentre. Shoots Right. 6'3", 202 lbs. Born: Khabarovsk, USSR
- Scored the game-winning goal to help Russia beat Team Canada in round-robin play at the 2008 IIHF Under-18 World Championships. He finished the tournament with five points (2-3-5) in six games, helping Russia win a silver medal.
Central Scouting:
"Evgeny is a power forward with a good physical presence and ability to come up with the puck in traffic areas. He displays strong puck skills and the ability to make plays all over the ice, but needs to improve his acceleration and overall speed."
THE WAY I SEE IT: As tricky as it is getting players here from Russia and despite having been burned by 2000 first-round bust Alexei Mikhnov, the Oilers scouting staff thinks very highly of Grachev.
JORDAN EBERLE, REGINA WHL, CS RANK 33Centre. Shoots Right. 5'10", 174 lbs. Born: Regina
- Ranked fifth overall in WHL scoring with 42 goals and tied for second overall with nine game-winning goals—his 42 goals accounted for 19 per cent of the goals Regina scored this season.
- Selected to the 2008 Eastern Conference First All-Star Team and was selected as the WHL Player of the Month for October after totalling 22 points (14-8-22) in 13 games.
- Regina's Scholastic Player of the Year in 2008.
- Won gold with Team Canada at the 2008 IIHF Under-18 World Championships, finishing second on the team with 10 points (4-6-10).
Director of Central Scouting, E.J. McGuire:
"Jordan is a slippery scorer with great hands. He has NHL hands and the skating to get him into good shooting position. Jordan is an up-and-down the wing 'tease' in the sense that sometimes he'll look like he's just going up and down the wing and you have him slotted as a checker and then he'll cut in off the wing and use that shot to put his team up by a goal."
THE WAY I SEE IT: If Eberle was a six-footer he'd likely be ranked 10 places higher, which is about where the Oilers have him. With the success of Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano, Lowe won't be scared off by Eberle's lack of size if he's available at 22nd .

So when you say bet the farm that Lowe will be pitching to Ottawa is this your speculation or are you hearing more concrete rumours?
If it's more concrete I wonder who they would be looking at because although the oft beaten to death suggestion of Spezza is a nice idea I thought he has a no trade contract that kicks in on July 1 which pretty much kills the idea of making a deal later in the summer.
Also, have you heard anything that may suggest the Oilers would look at a goalie during this years draft? Maybe by securing a second round pick should one of the top 3 guys drop out of the first round.
Robin are you confirming through a source that Lowe is moving in on a guy?
If so thats some pretty exciting stuff. I dont believe IMO that Schremp would be going. I hope at least...
I've been paying attention to all the fodder going back and forth over the sphere the last little while. After the Pronger fiasco Lowe went back to the drawing board. it seems to me Lowe had a vision of who wanted on his team through the draft and hes picking up those players as he goes. Grebeshkov, Pitkanen, Nilsson were all guys that the Oil wanted but couldnt have in the draft and they've landed them through trades after the fact. Lowe is dumping the old guard and from all indications his plan is coming to fruition slowly but surely.
Rick: Read more carefully. I said bet Lowe will be pitching in Ottawa as opposed to "to Ottawa." That's not a news flash, given all of the mentions by Lowe and MacTavish about maybe moving mltiple assets to get one frontline player, but I feel particularly strongly about it because of the situation. Lowe has been an active player in the trade market at virtually every draft since he took over as GM. He hasn't always managed to make a deal, but he has been in there pitching and working the floor. There is no better place than the draft to make a trade because you're eye-to-eye with every peer GM and the scouting staffs of the other teams for two or three days. In some cases, a move isn't made at the draft. but the groundwork for something is started.
Ohhh yeah, me not comprehend so goodly.
As tricky as it is getting players here from Russia and despite having been burned by 2000 first-round bust Alexei Mikhnov, the Oilers scouting staff thinks very highly of Grachev.
Wow. Thanks for that, Robin. Those other names have been bounced around, but I can't recall anyone mentioning Grachev- projected as a late 2nd rounder over at TSN. Is this one of those guys that will likely go higher than expected because a few teams are hoping to snag him?
Jonathan: I had no clue about this Grachev either, but it was a name given to me by a member of the scouting staff. I don't see the Oilers taking a flyer on this guy if there is anybody available who they have rated higher, but they like him and I'm told that he came off well in the interview.
Bob Mackenzie is very connected and has him at 55 and I'm not gloing to quibble with that. CS has him 9th among Euro skaters, ISS has him 24th, so there's a lot opinions out there.
RobinB: You may have addressed this previously but in your opinion would Jokinen be a fit as the top 3 forward the Oilers are looking for??
TimS: He wouldn't be my first choice, but it's difficult to argue he's not a top-3 forward. And he's certainly in play now that's he's made it known he wants out of Florida. I'm guessing Lowe will do his due diligence and pick up the phone to inquire.
As for a "fit," I've got to be honest. I haven't seen Jokinen play live in a least a couple of years and I haven't asked any of his teammates about him so I don't have a feel for the kind of guy he is.
Isn't he a Horcoff type center that scores 10 more points a year right now? Around the same age too.
totally missed the crystal ball... nice one.
I don't want to come across as a big Jokinen expert but stats say offensivly Jokinen is a far superior player. I know there have been questions about his attitude and defensivly I don't know, although his plus minus suggests he is alright.
1 thing I do know is Jokinen loves to shoot the puck. He has a minimum of 341 shots in each of the last 3 seasons.
Behind the Net sheds a little light - according to them, Jokinen played relatively tough competition 5-on-5 and got outscored by a healthy margin, and his pts/60 ratio at even strength is OK but not great.
He is a career -73, but he is a big body, he hits enough and he shoots a lot.
In short, I like him, but it depends on the package.
Robin Reading this and listening to Stauffer this afternoon, I thought of something that no one has really mentioned yet. Looking in the past, the Oil have had their usual trading partners; Isles, Rangers, and Flyers. Do you think a trade is possible with Philly to get Simon Gagne? His cap hit is really not that bad @ $5.25M and he is signed long term. I know he is coming off concussion issues (don't even know if he is cleared yet) but this could be the 3 for 1 deal the Oil are looking for. Offer up Torres, Schremp, and one of the young blueliners (eg. Cody Wild) and I think deal could be made. Its a trade of questions marks going both ways but the payoff could be great. Thoughts?
Jokinen also went 19 games without a goal at even strength when Florida were making their playoff push. I would say he is a better offensive player then Horcoff but that our man is a better all round player.
A good fit to play soft minutes maybe?
TimS/Jonathan/Pat: This talk about Jokinen gives me a chance to get on my stats soapbox.
I'm sometimes amused about the conclusions people draw about players based on statistics -- often without ever watching a player actually play, beyond a cursory glance when the team comes to town or when the game is on the tube in the bar or whereever. That kind of "analysis" has grown particularly rampant as the internet grows and websites pop up like crazy.
I'm not trying to belittle people who spend a lot of time digesting stats, because there is useful stuff out there, but there's way too much stock put in them, in my opinion. "He plays the tough minutes, so . . ." or "The Desjardins/Smith/Jones Numbers say . . ." etc etc.
Stats are a tool, but they are something I use as a secondary source of information. If I've got, for argument sake, 60 minutes to assess a player, I want to watch him play for 40 minutes, I want to talk to his coaches, teammates and opponents for 15 minutes and I'll spend 5 minutes looking at the stats. Obviously my approach is based on the fact I have access and the ability to do it that way, while those outside the media realm don't, so they lean more heavily on stats.
Al I know is I've watched a lot of hockey and talked with a lot of players the past 20 years and I'm still wrong in my assessments of certain guys as often as I'm right. At the same time, many fans and internet posters on speak in absolutes about players based almost solely on statistics. For me, I believe my eyes more than I do reams and reams of stats.
Stats are a tool, but they are something I use as a secondary source of information.
Statistics are certainly limited, nut they have a few advantages beyond those that you mentioned.
Not everyone has the same eye for the game- in other words, while I trust my eyes when I'm watching a hockey game, I don't necessarily trust Random Fan #1. This is particularly applicable when it comes to difficulty of opposition. There are certainly fans out there who can observe that, for example, every time Iginla hops off the ice, either the Gagner or Brodziak line hops on, and that when Iginla gets on the ice, it's either Horcoff or Stoll leaving the Oilers bench. But most seem not to notice.
Stats are particularly limited in that they tell us what a player does, but not how he does it. For example, statistically, especially on the surface, there isn't much difference between Radim Vrbata and Chris Higgins. Desjardins help us by giving a rough guide to who each player was lining up against, but we still don't know what kind of shots they were, how the players use their teammates, etc. I absolutely agree that actually watching players is critical.
Then again, with 600+ players in the league, it's pretty much impossible for the average fan to see them all. Statistics can help indicate how good a player has been.
More important, statistics provide a common reference point for fans; in other words, I could spend all day arguing whether Sam Gagner is better than Shawn Horcoff right now with someone based on our respective opinions, or we could look at the stats, note the massive differences in opposition played, the ratios of golas for and against, and clearly see that at this point in time Gagner simply can't handle the same responsibilities as Horcoff.
A good rule of thumb for me is one of the things Tyler at Mc79hockey mentions- statistics should not contradict your eyes.
Stats are a tool, but they are something I use as a secondary source of information. If I've got, for argument sake, 60 minutes to assess a player, I want to watch him play for 40 minutes, I want to talk to his coaches, teammates and opponents for 15 minutes and I'll spend 5 minutes looking at the stats. Obviously my approach is based on the fact I have access and the ability to do it that way, while those outside the media realm don't, so they lean more heavily on stats.
Interesting comment. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say that you'll look at the stats for five minutes. What stats are you looking at? Are you talking about looking at a guy's scoring rates (ie. ESG/60 etc.) or what Lowetide refers to as the boxcar numbers, the more traditional G-A-P? If it's the latter, I don't disagree with you - I think that you're going to get more out of watching the guy play.
With that said, watching a guy play for 40 minutes is like watching a guy play two games. Guys have good games and bad games - remember Brad Isbister's famous HNIC against Dallas? I just don't think seeing a guy play for 40 minutes is enough to formulate any sort of a reasonable opinion on him. You're also going to get influenced by stuff that isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things, like whether a guy comes back to play after getting hit in the face with a puck.
I think that you, the media and the vast majority of guys working in the NHL don't understand what the important stats are. I don't say this critically (well, less so of the media than the guys in the NHL) but the vast majority of people who follow or work in the NHL just don't understand the point. Kevin Lowe did an interview after trading Smyth where he explained that he was going all Moneyball. He then proceeded to spend a summer doing things that made absolutely no fucking sense if you're trying to work within that sort of a framework.
He was either bullshitting or doesn't really understand the principles. Personally, I suspect that it's the latter. I don't blame him too much for that (although, given that he's an important manager of a $100MM business, maybe I should be applying the "MBA" standard rather than the "Spent high school riding the buses in Quebec" standard) because the really good analysis on the stats side, in my mind, comes from people who are well versed in the evolution of baseball stats. That excludes a lot of Canadians.
The thing of it is, as much as a lot of front office types and media types claim that they're not really influenced by the stats, they are. They're just influenced by the wrong stats. They look at G-A-P, without any appreciation for the context of hard/soft minutes, whether a guy is playing a ton of PP time and quality of the players around a guy.
I look at a guy like Joffrey Lupul and just shake my head because, from my perspective, all of the warning signs that he wasn't that good were there before he came to Edmonton and got that ridiculous contract. Same goes for Penner. Same goes for Souray. The right move was not to get those guys last year - all of the numbers said that they were complementary players, at best, with serious deficiencies. (This isn't just hindsight - I was saying this at the time, based largely on understanding and paying attention to the numbers.) Imagine what this team could be if Lowe had another $11MM in salary to work with, the 12th pick this year and the patience to wait for a real star to become available, as they always do.
Sam Pollock had a great line about how there are two things in life that you never want to fall in love with: racehorses and hockey players. Malone is the perfect example here as far as I'm concerned. You and some of the other local media just couldn't get enough of him during the playoffs and were saying he'd look nice on the Oilers. I look at him and see another Martin Lapointe; the numbers that matter just aren't there to support him being anything more. So he gets hit in the face with a puck. Who cares?
I don't advocate an approach that excludes watching guys play and a lot of the stats stuff is still in the early stages but with the information that the NHL is gathering now, particularly the identity of every player on the ice for every shot...the statistical analysis is only going to get better. I would think that most people, if they understood the stats to pay attention to, could arrive at a much better understanding of a player if they split their time more 50/50 in formulating their opinions. For one, a lot of you fellows in the media would get off the Malone bus. He's going to come to town next year and your fellow knights of the keyboard are going to be writing their stories for the Journal and the Sun about how he's having a disappointing season after he had a great playoffs and got a huge contract somewhere. That's entirely the result of the 40/15/5 split that you're endorsing.
This is the quote I was looking for:
As a closet GM, I've had my eye on Malone for awhile because he's a big, strong winger with soft hands who scored 27 goals for the Penguins this season and will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. ... What makes Malone, 28, different than Smith and Ulanov is he's not only tough as a $3 steak, he's a combination of elite skill and extreme grit—you don't find that in many players.
I mean, whether Malone has elite skill or not, who knows. All I know is that results wise, he's just not that impressive. There is a pretty strong argument that Raffi Torres' three year stretch from 03-04 to 06-07 was a more statistically impressive stretch than Malone's last two years and, while Jarret Stoll is many things, he's neither Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin.
You can tell me that Malone shows up every night while Torres is a space cadet and maybe that's true; I don't know that much about Malone. I do know that Torres, showing up whatever percentage of the time he does, has historically put up better results over the course of a season. Oh, and he's three years younger and $3MM cheaper.
It looks to me like Malone, who has seasons of 22 and 27 goals on his resume, is on the cusp of becoming one of the best power forwards in the NHL. He's entering his prime.
He's almost certainly not entering his offensive prime, which tends to be done by now. I've looked at the numbers and know this to be true - points rates tend to peak between the ages of 23-25. There's an argument to be made that he'll be more valuable now because older players have a more sound defensive game and play against better players but if you're signing Ryan Malone thinking that he's going to head into an extended stretch of 35 goal seasons, you're likely to be sorely disappointed.

Watching Sportsnet this morning, because I have nothing else to do on my day off, and I hear that Carolina's looking for blueline help. They're dangling any of Williams, Ruutu and Cole.
Edmonton has defense to spare. Maybe we offer up a young defensive prospect like Smid, and a depth guy like Roy (that one-way contract's a bitch) for Ruutu? He's the one I'm targetting because he's been around the West already and came out alive. Also, the team needs more Finn.
Solves our need to cull the herd on the back-end, while adding a Top-6 forward. He's not likely to replace Penner on the Hemsky line, but I think he lines up nicely down the wing for Gagner and Nilsson.
mc79L I appreciate your passionate views on the importance of what you consider reliable statitistics and this is certainly a common sense defence of them.
That said, I'm not going to get into a mega-paragraph back-and-forth on this because I will continue to assess players the way I always have -- without fear I'm somehow missing something because I don't lean as heavily on stats as some people do.
By the way, you took the 60 minutes reference too literally. Of course 60 minutes isn't enough time to assess a player. If you read what I said, I was using 60 minutes as an example, to show what percentage of that alloted time I'd spend checking stats.
As for Malone, I know what I think about him as a player after watching him play. I'll go with what I see on the ice and what I hear about him from his teammates and opposing players and coaches -- if that's OK.
MC79: By the way, I completely agree with your assessments of Lupul, Penner and Souray as complimentary players -- I've written and talked about each of them in those terms since they were acquired -- but I arrived at my conclusion by watching them play.
Again with Malone. While I like him for reasons I talked about in the post about him after he got the puck in the kisser, beyond playing closet GM, which was the premise of the article, I'm not "on the Malone bus" even if I like his grit and his jam. In the real world, there's no way to justify the amount of money he's bound to get as a UFA. There's no way he makes sense at, say, $5 million, over many other cheaper and younger players I can think of.
June 20 2008, 11:28AM
You leave my boy alone! We want all the money we can get in the Malone household
June 20 2008, 03:05PM
I think the other element we're missing out on is chemistry. You can have a pretty decent player on your team but if they aren't clicking with any of their teammates, they're really of no use to you.
I remember how disappointed I was watching Sykora playing without Hemsky and he looked lost without the puck. There's no doubt in my mind he's got a dynamite shot, but if you didn't have the right players surrounding him, he's pretty flat on performance. I wouldn't mind him back though - the complement of players on the team provide a good fit now.
There's also the types of players who just make everyone around them better. Crosby and Gretzky are no brainers in that category. They're so good that they make everyone else better.
I can't see Jokinen being the kind of player that improves the play of his linemates - the kind of player I think Kevin Lowe is looking for. Florida's asking price for him will also be stupidly high. My bet is if a trade is going to happen, it won't be with Florida.
AN UPDATE: While Kevin Lowe didn't manage to make a trade on Day 1 of the draft, I can assure you he was involved in the bidding to land Mike Cammalleri of the Los Angeles Kings -- as we reported live on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer -- before the Calgary Flames got him. The player the Oilers had on the table was Jarret Stoll. That's first-hand from a reliable source, not hearsay or gossip. In addition, Lowe was talking with the Maple Leafs about Alexander Steen, and those talks were expected to continue last night after the first 30 picks were completed, so the possibility of a trade with Toronto, likely involving Raffi Torres, remains. If both scenarios aren't explored by both dailies in tomorrow's editions, I'll be asking Lowe about the deals when he's available.
Robin- Do you think Lowe is feeling the heat a little bit to get a deal done, bigger than Steen? I'm sitting there watching the draft last night, while the trades are going down, and wondering what this team is capable of next season. I think Calgary got a whole lot better yesterday, as did Pheonix. Let's look at the teams that are probably playoff contenders- Detroit, San Jose, Dallas, Anaheim, Minnesota, Calgary. Say those five teams are a lock, with Pheonix making a bold move yesterday, and getting a full season of Bryzgalov, you can bet they are close, as well as Chicago, Nashville, Colorado, maybe Columbus this year.
What makes the Oilers better than any of these teams? I really don't know how much a healthy Souray, Moreau and Horcoff can make a difference. Lowe in my opinion should look at what is going to make a bigger impact, A puck moving defenseman, or a 25-30 goal scorer. This team, dispite giving up too many goals last near, need to get some help upfront. Teams in the west that contend with Edmonton, and hover around the same spot are making changes, and making their teams better. Sure, you could say that the kids are going to play better next year. But, so will Turris, Kane, Teows, etc. The other teams we compete against have young stars too, which you have to factor in. This team needs to do something soon, or else look for a third year of missing the playoffs.
erixon: Good points. Lowe went to Ottawa looking to make a deal and his attempt to get Cammalleri makes it obvious he wanted to make a splash. I don't think getting Steen would represent the same impact so, yes, being fully aware other conference teams made significant moves could prompt him to work the floor more diligently today. Does he put Pitkanen in play to see what he can get back?
Hey Robin, There's nothing productive about playing the hindsite 20/20 game, and I'm glad you're out there making bold predictions.
That said, you were pretty certain that Rob Schremp would not be an Oiler after the draft. What happened in your estimation?
One other question, and perhaps you can't address it: On Friday's drive show Bob Stauffer seemed to change his tune on Jarret Stoll (for the negative) and stated he had a reason for this change, but stated he wouldn't say on-air why.
While I don't expect you to divulge any heresay or unsubstantiated stuff for obvious reasons, my question is this: do you think that either the Oilers no longer wants Stoll or that Stoll no longer wants the Oilers?
Dannyboy: I was also pretty certain Lowe would get a trade done at the draft and that didn't happen, despite his bids to get Cammalleri and Steen. I don't know if Schremp was involved in either of those pitches, but it remains my opinion Schremp is there to be had as part of a package.
As for Bob on Stoll, I don't think he's necessarily changed his opinion of Stoll, but again, circumstances change and a player who at one point is deemed not available can become dispensible. I don't think it's a case of the Oilers souring on Stoll or vice-versa as it is Bob's opinion that he's movable now.

Preventing Colds and Flus
By Drs. Rick and Jan Hanson
Studies show that women are more prone to colds and flus after having children - and kids themselves are exposed to germs continually in childcare and preschool. So it's smart to take up arms against those microbial invaders!
Of course, check with your doctors, especially if a cold/flu is intense or prolonged, or accompanied by a significant fever. But on your own, there are plenty of things you can do. Just adapt the ideas below - which include what moms and dads can do for themselves - for kids, depending on their age and weight.
Step 1 - Turbocharge your immune system to prevent illness in the first place:
If you don't want to take fish oil, consume about 1 tablespoon/day of flax oil in salad dressings or other nonfrying uses; also be sure to take both a multi-vitamin and B-vitamin complex in order to digest the flax oil properly.
Step 2 - If you feel a cold coming on, or it's already breached your defenses:

Open Debate of the Security Council on "Conflict prevention"
NEW YORK, 21 August 2014
STATEMENT BY Peter van der Vliet, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations, in the Open Debate of the Security Council on "Conflict prevention".
Thank you Mr. President
The Netherlands aligns itself with the statement delivered on behalf of the European Union and its Member States.
The Netherlands thanks the UK for organizing this important debate. We also appreciate the briefings by the Secretary-General and the High Commissioner for Human Rights. We welcome and support the resolution adopted today.
The primary responsibility to prevent conflicts and to protect its civilians lies with the State. At the same time, the responsibility to prevent conflicts is ultimately a shared responsibility of the international community. The United Nations was founded for this purpose, and is well placed to play a leading role in this regard. A UN system-wide approach to conflict prevention is required. Peace, the protection of human rights, justice and development need to be pursued in a comprehensive way.
I would like to focus here on three elements: the preventive toolbox of the Security Council, the peaceful settlement of disputes and the protection of human rights.
The Preventive Toolbox
The UN, in various past efforts, has through a combination of analysis, early warning, rapid response and partnerships, been able to help defuse tensions in crises and assist parties in resolving disputes peacefully. We commend the work of DPA in this regard, and would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our continued support to DPA's work.
In order to be successful in preventive action, there is a need also for the Security Council to respond quicker and more decisively to emerging threats to the peace. In this regard, we would welcome the so-called horizon scannings or general briefings on emerging conflicts or possible volatile situations by the Secretary-General as a more regular and permanent feature on the Council's agenda.
Chapter VI of the UN Charter provides a clear mandate to investigate any situation that might endanger the maintenance of international peace and security and offers a range of tools to settle disputes peacefully before they escalate. It is important that this Council make full use of these tools, including the serious consideration of the idea of preventive missions.
Peacekeeping missions also have an important peacebuilding component that focuses on stabilisation and preventing the emergence of new conflict. The Netherlands commends the Rule of Law aspects in the context of such missions, including capacity building efforts and human rights protection, mass atrocities prevention, accountability mechanisms and the principle of Responsibility to Protect. All of this helps to prevent further escalation of conflict. In this regard, we welcome the Secretary-General's commitment to a review of UN peacekeeping, and recommend this aspect receive ample attention.
The Netherlands reiterates the crucial role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. In this regard, we would like to commend the efforts of the UK to increase the participation of women in UN peacekeeping missions through the creation and support of a Senior Women Talent Pipeline.
Peaceful Settlement of Disputes
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is deeply committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes and proud host to i.a. the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. We strongly encourage the Council to take measures to expand the use of peaceful settlement of disputes, both in relation to state and non-state actors.
Under the combined articles 34 and 36 of the UN Charter, the Council can recommend that parties settle their dispute peacefully, through the various means of dispute resolution. The Council can also suggest the specific form it deems most suitable for the occasion and request to be briefed about the results. In case of established jurisdiction of the Court, the Council can also strongly urge the parties to take their dispute to the International Court of Justice. Furthermore, the Council could encourage parties to come to an agreement to accept the Court's jurisdiction for their particular dispute when this is not yet established.
In this context, we particularly welcome the recent visit of the Security Council to The Hague and its historic meeting with the International Court of Justice. We are confident that this visit has contributed to increased mutual understanding and future cooperation between these two principal organs of the UN.
Human Rights
One of the most essential factors in preventing conflict and avoiding tensions within societies is ensuring and protecting basic human rights of all parts of the population, providing redress for grievances and ensuring accountability for mass atrocities.
In this regard, the Netherlands would like to take this opportunity to commend the work of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. We especially want to honor the High Commissioner, Ms. Navi Pillay, for the way in which she has fulfilled her important mandate over the past years.
Ms. Pillay, has been a cornerstone of the UN's efforts in addressing human rights issues worldwide. Her tireless dedication, her clear and insightful viewpoints, and especially, her courage to say what is needed when it is needed, have been an example to us all.
Thank you, Mr. President.

This A list entertainer(singer) has spent several hundred thousand dollars shooting his reality star wife for a nude pictorial
. It was going to be for Playboy but now there is just going to be a one off magazine for the entire shoot.
Uh huh.ReplyCancel
It won't be in Playboy? Who's going to buy a Naked KK coffee table book? Besides her hubbo?ReplyCancel
So he is doing his own magazine and keeping the money instead of playboy? ? Playboy is so sleazy now anyway. Not the feminist movement it used to be.ReplyCancel
I must not know those people.ReplyCancel
Who the hell would do a naked shoot of their wife to sell as a magazine to the public? That's just one step short of pimping. True love, not.ReplyCancel
I always think it's an interesting psychology when a man intentionally offers up his wife or girlfriend for other men's sexual enjoyment. Not to suggest that he should make her wear a burkha, but there's a big difference between showing up at a party with your woman in a sexy dress and marketing an entire book full of nude photos of her. Roger Vadim, who was married to Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, and Catherine Deneuve, was notorious for making his wives into sex symbols, and he probably would have shot nudes if the times had allowed for it.ReplyCancel

Excellent answer.

You may be right. I haven't seen much of Vadim's work beyond 'And God Created Women' and 'Barbarella.'ReplyCancel
Somehow, probably due to an unaddressed mental health issue, he has built his own world and his own view of himself and he literally can't see the reality of the situation. Even as his Q ratings plummet, he loses money on his tour, Jay Cole beat his recent album sales by the second week. But, as the ramifications/realization that his brand is turning in to a joke, that Kim really is just a gold digging fame whore thats using him for money and status start to slowly seep in, I am imagining some terrible breakdown or incident.

A funny thing is happening to the Barron's 400 ETF's (BFOR) stock portfolio. The share prices of the companies tracked by this stockpicker's ETF are rising quickly — so quickly that the fundamentals of relatively solid companies can't keep up.
It's a nice problem to have, since it means you just enjoyed some rapid price appreciation. Specifically, this new ETF — whose index was developed in consultation with Barron's editors, and includes attractively priced, fundamentally strong companies such as Apple (AAPL) and lesser known ones like Middleby Corp. (MIDD) — is systematically counting up stock prices' tendency to stretch themselves out.
It does that by assigning a "grade" to 6,000 companies based on two dozen different measures of stock valuation and corporate health. It has seen the average ETF constituent grade fall from 68.07 (of 100) in Match to 63.15 as of Friday, writes MarketGrader's John Prestbo.
It's almost bound to happen this way when stock prices rise as steeply as they have this year. From Prestbo:
[T]he single most important reason for the decline in average grades is that the index has performed very well. It's up 23.7% this year, almost six percentage points more than the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, which includes every exchange-listed U.S. stock. Since March 18, the Barron's 400 has advanced 11.2% versus 7% for the benchmark.
Rising stock prices usually are considered good news, but they put pressure on the "value" portion of a company's score. Unless sales, earnings, cash flow and other measures of financial health are improving even faster, a surge in share prices will cause the value grade to drop.
The biggest single decliner in attractiveness, according to the Barron's index: Pharmacyclics (PCYC), up 94% year-to-date. This company's grade fell from 63% to 23%. "Pharmacyclics's sales are skyrocketing, but the company just has turned profitable within the past few quarters," with the long-term trend a weight in addition to the stock surge, Prestbo writes.
Kronos Worldwide (KRO) comes in second place for a swift fall in the index's grading system, but not for reasons of a stock surge (Shares are down 23% this year.) The specialty chemical company "has slow-rising sales and is forecast to lose money in the third quarter, down from a profit in last year's comparable period," writes Prestbo.

Hello everyone! Long time no see!
I am so happy to be one of the six nominated to Bit-Techs MOTM competition.
Please go vote for me if you like my project and would like to support my work, all votes are taken by much love and really pushes me forward to continue delivering good stuff.
I'm back with an update about the airbrushing for you all!
It has been a long process and now we finally are heading to the start of the end on the exterior of the chassi, who knows there may be an inside as well
We and by we I mean me and my painter DM-Finearts have been discussing back and forth about the hole painting job, we want to get the right feeling and that everything ties up in to a unity, that it's just not blabbered on to it. A lot of what we're trying to create is a feeling that it's a little cold, hard and rough if you know what I mean.
As if it has been to space and taken some hits and got marks from the time in "service". I'll hope it gets more chances to "service"
Also since the last update the chassi has been exhibited in Wachtmeisters Gallery in a shopping center in a town called Karlskrona, Sweden. I'll be including a few photos from the window that you could see them through.
We were thinking between having the SC2 logo or the StarCraft2 logo on the front. Both looks good but I personally prefer the SC2 logo since it gets a better feel to it since it is in relay as some of the other things on the chassi are.
Watch the video for more pics that are not shown in the build log.
Please leave feedback on the paintjob and the project itself and any ideas you might have is welcome

Hello everyone!
I would like to start this update to thank each one of you, yes you! for showing support for this build. Thanks to every single vote I manged to pull the longest stick and won the Bit-Techs MOTM September competition. That's insane and I'm super happy for the chance I have gotten. Also except you guys to thank for making this project a possibility is my sponsors, DM-Finearts, Plåtspecialisten Örebro, fractal design, Corsair, Mayhems, Aquatuning, NZXT.
Without you I would not have gotten the chance to take my head in to modding scene as I wanted.
So now to the actual content of the update!
The paintjob of the chassi is starting to go to an end, there's just a few minor details left before putting on some sort of protective coat on it, I have been a little sceptical to go with clear-coat since I feel it will break and take away from the "rough and raw" feeling/theme we have gone for. I have spoken with DM-Finearts back and forth between the choices, mat-coat( keeps the colors as it is, maybe a bit more dull and is most for protective reasons) then a middleish coat with a mix between a clear and mat-coat( don't know how this will look) and at last there's the clear-coat( brings out the colors and effects in a better way though brings a glance surface. So what do you guys think I should do? which coat should I go for? Still haven't decided and may need your help.
Now for some pictures up until now, enjoy and please give feedback!
We did a little coloradjustment on the logos on the top to fit the theme better, I really like the result myself.
That was all for now, take care and happy modding!

Hello everybody at Bit-tech!
It has been to long since an update and since I could have done anything myself, It's itching in my fingers to start again!
First and foremost I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Dm Finearts, for airbrushing this project. He is so talented!
Make sure to check out his market on his site to be able to get hold of some artwork of his.
Now that I have got the chassi back I can start to work on the inside and thereafter complete this project!
No worries, I won't just slam the hardware in the to get it working. Big NONO! Hopefully I can make the Inside look as beutiful as the outside of this case!
So here we go with a bunch of pictures, now remember I am not a proffesional photographer and can't nearly make justice of how badass it looks in person!!
I just want to hug it it's so majestic and beutiful!!
Was shocked to say at least^^ The package was huge!
Looks like I got a compressor, yes please!
Though there was something else inside...
..this for example, good trade for the compressor I'd say!
Extremly happy over the result!
Note that I will respray all the rings on the SP-120 and AF-140 fans to fit the theme better.
In the background you can see some test fitting of some hardware.
Please help me!
Now I would like some thought on what you think looks best? #F1 or #F2?
I have also run in to some problems with the pump, I thought I could fit it next to the 240mm radiator in the bottom compartment but it's clearly not going to happen since I underestimated the width of the rad with fans and the pump together.
What do you suggest I should do?
Remove a set of fans and run with push or pull and install the pump as intended?
Another option is to remove 4 HDD brackets and place the pump in there, the problem with that is that the pump location is higher then the bottom of the resevoir, will that be a problem ? Also since I planned doing an all out crystal link loop (I know I'm crazy) it will be hard to connect them 2 together, will probably require to use the dremel some in the HDD bay.
The other thing I can think of is finding another (smaller pump) that will fit, what I am afraid of then is that it won't be powerfull enough to have good circulation trough the narrow loop?
Any other suggestions, please tell me!
So what's going to happen now? Will continue to test mount back and forth to see how I want to design the inside, waiting for a retailer to get some crystal link fittings in stock so I can order them
So nice to be back on track again!
Please leave feedback!
Regards Johnny

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSpotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsAugust 6, 2014
Graduating seniors from the Class of 2014 who are entering the work force view vacation time—specifically, receiving more than two weeks of vacation—as the most important benefit from employers, according to NACE's 2014 Student Survey.
Ten percent of these Class of 2014 seniors rated this benefit as the most important, followed by tuition reimbursement for advanced education and promises of annual salary increases, both at 9.2 percent. (See Figure 1.)
Still, no single benefit stood out from the rest as being the most important, unlike several years ago when almost half the students responding to the survey listed "100 percent paid medical" as their most-desired benefit.
NACE collected data for the 2014 Student Survey from February 15 to April 30, 2014. A total of 43,864 students responded from 696 NACE-member institutions throughout the United States. Of these responses, 10,210 came from bachelor's degree seniors who indicated that they would be getting their degrees by August 2014. This story is based on the responses from this group of seniors. NACE will release the 2014 Student Survey report in the fall. The 2014 Student Survey was sponsored by Enterprise.
