Nate Silver, elections and SPORTS
Cam Charron
November 07 2012 02:55AM
Math kicked ass.
Not to say that Nate Silver's models are completely infallible, of course, the guy got lucky. Every single state of the union voted as Silver forecasted it to vote, within a slim margin of error he gave simply by aggregating polls over the last year or so.
I don't want to write an election-themed post, but I do think it's worth it for me to note Silver in writing somewhere. Silver, once fed up with mainstream electoral coverage during the 2008 election and began writing a blog. He correctly forecasted the winners of 49 of 50 states. That's not a huge achievement on its own, but Silver had gained notoriety in the political world for the statistical approach on his blog fivethirtyeight and his work with Baseball Prospectus in developing PECOTA, a system used to find historical matches of baseball players, and use those matches to forecast a range of outcomes for a player later in his career.
Neither the fivethirtyeight model or PECOTA are flawless, and Silver would be the first to tell you that. However, his success did land him a job with the New York Times and some controversy leading up to the election, particularly when he began to forecast the likelihood the president would be re-elected. It was 72.9 per cent eight days before the election. By election day, the likelihood had increased to over 90 per cent. A pundit who did not appreciate Silver's mathematical methods said this:
"Nate Silver says this is a 73.6% chance that the president's going to win. Nobody in that campaign thinks they have a 73.6% -- they think they have a 50.1% chance of winning.
Anybody that thinks that this race is anything but a tossup right now is such an ideologue [that] they should be kept away from typewriters, computers, laptops, and microphones for the next ten days, because they're jokes."
That's a man on MSNBC named Joe Scarborough, who as of midnight Pacific Wednesday morning, has not apologized to Silver despite getting practically everything right that there was to get right. Not only did Silver's models correctly predict the states, but the margins of victory were stunning. I don't want to dwell too much on this because this is a hockey blog, not a political blog. Scarborough's prediction? As transcribed by The Colbert Report...
Well, it was considerably off, let's just say.
But is there a familiar pattern? A pundit taking issue with the forecast of a man who never played in the game? Who hasn't covered a campaign close enough to have a permanent coffee dependency?
In Silver's new book The Signal and the Noise, he doesn't exactly show a lack of disdain towards pundits and TV commentators. In an analysis of a panel on a Sunday talk show The McLaughlin Group, Silver found that when panelists were making predictions that had a simple "yes" or "no" answer, "the panel may as well have been flipping coins. I determined 338 of their [733] predictions to be either mostly or completely false."
Sports and politics are similar beasts in the way they're covered by the media, particularly on television. I stopped watching TV newscasts, particularly political debates, because the commentary was just so annoying. Sports debates shows are just as bad, and men who make a number of bold predictions that turn out to be false in the end, never seem to lose their job or take heat from their co-workers.
I often wonder why this is. The Internet now, thankfully, allows us to record failed predictions in infamy. I'm not sure what my own record is. For every time I've forecasted the demise of the Minnesota Wild, it seems like I've also forecasted the rise of a young two-way threat who never panned out. I'd like to think that I'm batting over .500 when it comes to testable hypotheses, but going back and re-reading some of the 1000 or so thoughts I've posted online in the last year or so seems tedious.
Silver's sports background is in baseball, which doesn't lend itself to hockey quite the same way. Baseball is composed of a small number of events between individuals. Hockey is a game composed of a much larger number of events taking place between as many as ten players on the playing surface at the same time.
But the two also have a lot in common. The key difference from a statistical perspective is that there's more time between pitches or at-bats to record the previous results. Trying to capture everything that happens in a hockey game is maddening. You have scoring chances, missed shots, zone entries, zone exits, puck battles… it's like basketball in the respect Michael Lewis noted in a New York Times feature: "[For] most of its history basketball has measured not so much what is important as what is easy to measure".
In hockey, that's usually goals, assists and points. The overwhelming impact of Big Data on our society allows pundits in sports to dig up any amount of numbers, and attribute meaning to them and making poor, poor predictions based on a misunderstood concept. A hockey pundit might say "the Los Angeles Kings won just 17 of 46 one-goal games this season! They don't have what it takes when it counts, and will never be successful in the playoffs."
Of course, that same pundit ignores research that suggests that one-goal games are not necessarily a predictive quality of a hockey teams' ability. The general idea, that a team needs to be able to come through in important situations if they can ever hope to succeed in the postseason, sounds reasonable enough, but when looking at small pockets of small margin games that can literally be determined by something as random as a coin flip, the pundit is paying attention to far more noise than signal. Not all information available is important, and I like to disregard a lot of current hockey stats kept because I don't see their use.
"The key to making a good forecast," Silver writes, "is not in limiting yourself to quantitative information. Rather, it's having a good process for weighing the information appropriately. This is the essence of Billy Beane's philosophy: collect as much information as possible, but then be as rigorous and disciplined as possible when analyzing it."
"It's easy to adopt a goal of "exploit market inefficiencies." But that doesn't really give you a plan for how to find them and then determine whether they represent fresh dawns or false leads. It's hard to have an idea that nobody else has thought of. It's even harder to have a good idea—and when you do, it will soon be duplicated."
Sports forecasting is a more rigorous job than political forecasting. In the end, when all the votes are tallied, everything looks really nice and clean in hindsight (thank you, XKCD):
But in sports, every general manager is weighing the available information, whether it comes from statistics or traditional scouts, to make calls on whether a player will be productive or valuable in the upcoming seasons. Unlike polls, we don't have small hints of Phil Kessel's scoring futures cropping up as much as a year before the start of the season, so it's natural that sports forecasters lag behind on political forecasters.
That said, we're getting there. This extended summer has given us a lot of new things to work with. A fifth year of Behind the Net statistics is good for finding closer comparables to the players we're researching. We know also know the effects of something as simple as entering the zone with the hockey puck. I think as our information improves, we can get closer to mirroring the success that Silver has had with his electoral model.
There is no one way to do things, if you attack the same problem, figuring out how many wins the Toronto Maple Leafs will get next season, many different ways, we'll come closer and closer to the truth.
Still, though, what a fun night for math geeks everywhere.
That Obama, he's so clutch.

Math is creepy stuff. I dont trust it. I trust that its accurate, I just worry about its intentions.
November 07 2012, 10:34AM
Great stuff cam.
You didn't play the game.
I especially like the separation of statement from ability (exploit market inefficiencies) as so often management, or any observer, can come out with a bold comment about how they are going to be smarter and better than the competition.
Then they have to actually do it.
Fans can be guilty of the same thing at times - we'll just draft better like Detroit or Philadelphia and find value players in later rounds - if it were that easy then everybody would do it.
Great article. Go Team Math!
YAWN! And the point of this article was????
Call me old fashion.. but I prefer the eye test.
Great read Cam
Great article. While I respect and work quite a bit with models, I do think it's important to emphasize that this result doesn't confirm/validate/prove any truth in Silver's model, it only gives us more confidence in it's predictive ability.
The point is that this fella has an innate intuative ability and a superior system which produces above average results for him,and it doesnt matter if he is deeply educated in the subject he is analysing and assesing or not.His system can be overlayed onto any dynamic and produce superior results.At the end of the day it matters not if he is using a crystal ball--what matters is he is right more than everyone else consistantly.
Bottom line Sunshine is that he is right more than everyone else,Moma2 often feels that same way with posts about the NewAge Hockey System.
Results talk.Your background,pedigree,degree or Country Club membership mean nothing if you cant out perform someone else when the chips are down--and this means the 'bottom line" is all that matters in results based dynamics.
Oilers,are you paying attention to this stuff yet??Drop the guy a line maybe he can help out.

Lightweight Step Ladder
By Ripcord
from Deland FL
Excellent light weight step ladder to reach high places. My home has kitchen cabinets and closet shelves that are very high, while my wife and I are short. This step ladder is so light you can hold it with one finger, and stores easily in a closet taking up little space due to its narrow width. It opens and closes easily. Most importantly, it is sturdy and its handle is high enough so you can safely reach up with one hand while holding the handle with the other. Well worth the price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A slight disappointment
By Shim
from Brookline. MA
This stepladder was not tall enough for my needs. I am 6 ft tall and needed it to change a light bulb on the ceiling of our living room. I could not reach from the top step. Additionally, the steps themselves were much too narrow for comfortable standing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

How-To Geek
Change or Set the MySQL Root password
For every database, you should set the root or sa passwords to something other than the default, unless you want to get hacked. For mysql, the system administrator user is called root. You will use the mysqladmin utility from a command line to set the new password. Notice that there are two commands to be run.
mysqladmin -u root password "newpassword"
mysqladmin -u root -h host_name password "newpassword"
mysqladmin -u root password ws8dr8as3
mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password ws8dr8as3
You will also want to restart the database server after running this command
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Comments (12)
I don't know why, but I needed to use
mysqladmin -u root -p"newpassword" -h host_name password �newpassword�
instead your second command.
After the second command terminal gives that
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
How can I solve that?
Thanks in advance.
Works like a charm on MySQL5. Thanks for the tip.
Resetting the password this way will put the password in your shell's history:
$ history | grep mysqladmin
For that reason, you might want to consider setting/resetting the password from the mysql client:
$ mysql -u root mysql
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('newpasswordgoeshere');
That will also leave it in a file, the .mysql_history file.
Good Stuff poeple
Thanks DW i'm locking for this command in the entire internet!!
that not working in case of first time setting the password for root. The message is "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using passowrd: NO)"
I think it must be a way using mysqladmin…
This will be very useful.
Nice article. So simple yet very educating.
Thanks fro the additional information.
Thanks. This will help me a lot.

I believe its real.
As we all know there was a space race going on and the fact that America reached the moon first and was also being televised across the world do you really believe that the Russian's or anyone else for that matter would not want to prove that it was fake?
How difficult would it be for someone to pull out their telescope and have a look at the moon at the co-ordinate that where known of the landing take a few photos and prove the whole thing fake?
I'm sure Russia, Britain, Canada, Japan etc etc would have telescopes powerful enough to see the landing sight and the landing shuttle.

"Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible, I chose Rapture.

A lot of people see Deadman Wonderland as seinen, but I don't agree.
It's all a matter of opinion though. But when you've read some real seinen you can clearly see the difference.
1. Berserk ( I read it at the age of 12 and I was like..WOW :-) , additional it was my first manga ever, so i rate it first, despite of: ).
2. Blade of the Immortal ( The Best Manga ever...story, characters, drawings, everything is just perfect. I just say Shira.
3. Gantz ( Idea, drawing, and the Buddha tale, that was pure desperation).
4. Vagabond ( I really LIKE the old japan)
5.Hellsing ( Well..it has no ending but if some one got the scans after Alucard absorbed Schrödinger...TELL ME PLS)
Edit : Just read Deadman Wonderland (all thanks to you), and it was surprisingly good. But one question (spoiler) : Why don't they flee from the prison ? I mean..they are able to cut through steal..everything. And the could rip off those poison-things. Why do the stay ?

By Brendan Conway
Fast food gave rise to something called "slow food." Now Ben Inker of the value-minded Grantham Mayo van Otterloo has an idea for how to be a "slow" investor.
Some of it underscores the old debate between buy-and-hold investing and a more active or tactical approach. For instance, moving into positions slowly reduces your portfolio turnover. That cuts down on transaction costs. Going slow also opens up a range of less liquid securities where values can be discovered.
But there's something else here that Inker calls "lagged value":
The slightly odd fact is that moving slowly on value-driven decisions has simply made more money historically than moving immediately would have. Buying the assets that are cheapest at any given point in time has been a profitable strategy historically, but buying the assets that were cheapest on average during the past year, or odder still, the assets that were cheapest a year ago irrespective of their valuation today, has done even better.
Here's the data from December 1978 to June 1999:
Just picking the cheapest countries every month worked fine, but it wasn't the best "value" strategy. It turned out that buying the countries that were cheap a year ago did significantly better than the countries that were cheap today. A portfolio built from the cheapest two countries outperformed by 2.8% per year relative to the average country, but a portfolio built from the countries that had been cheapest a year earlier outperformed by 7.4%.
Ok. Why?
An easy answer is momentum. That argument goes as follows: the trouble with a portfolio of countries that are cheap today is that they have gotten cheap by virtue of underperforming. If markets exhibit momentum, then we should expect those countries to continue underperforming for a while. Countries that were cheap a year ago have had time for that bad momentum to get out of their system, as it were.
But it's not just momentum and value factors, Inker writes. Since 1999, the two highest momentum countries have underperformed, and so have the two cheapest. So what explains "lagged value"?
The trouble is that we don't know precisely why lagged value has worked as well as it has, so it is hard to know what to do if it stops working. As a strategy, this puts us value managers in the potentially awkward position of having to explain to clients why we bought an asset that wasn't cheap, saw it fall in price, and then sold it. It's hard to have a lot of confidence in a manager who tells you that story, particularly if he claims to be a value manager.
Here's another theory: This may simply be one of those cases where backtests suggest something interesting that lacks much of an intuition and, hence, may not be as real as it appears.
At the same time, there's certainly a logic for harnessing your value investing strategy to momentum — meaning until the market has put some weight behind your idea. In theory, it sounds like a means of avoiding the dreaded "value trap."
Lastly, here's Inker's approach on what to do slowly this year: "[W]e look to be steady sellers of equities this year, and we will very likely continue to sell even if the equity markets fall moderately during the year."

There are no password management apps, so far as I know (I'm pretty sure that violates Apple's terms). If the WiFi access point requires a web portal login, there is nothing you can do.
So far as sound quality: what are the files encoded at? As a rule of thumb, do not encode lower than 192CBR. I recommend 224VBR 48kHz, or (overkill) 320CBR. Anything less sounds remarkably ######ty.
If you're really that obsessed, you could build your own pocket (Altoid tin) amp.

About the sound quality. I find the bass to be on the low side. The EQ on Bass Boost can slightly increase the performence but on some bass rich songs you might get some irritating distortions. I looked into this and found out that this can be fixed by using a program on your PC that sort of tells all your songs to play at the same hight level (there is a better way of explaining it) and so removes the bass distortion. I can't remember the name, I'll try to find it tomorrow.

so now I'm using the BeyerDynamic DT770 PRO, and went ahead with shuffling my music...
so bouncing around my mashups, county, classical, R&B, audiobooks, the weakness of bass, as mentioned by TJ is compensated by the DT770.
it's manageable...I do need to adjust the volume a tad bit when I play A Winter Symphony by Sarah Brightman.
I have to double check my rip on this.

I got some Google Document that I emailed to myself as PDF.
So I get it has it's own reader...but I don't know how to save it permanently within my iPod Touch, so I don't have to open Gmail or Google Doc to read my pdf's.
thanks man....if I have to buy the apps, I guess I have to pay.
advance thanks

In the app store (if you search for 'pdf reader'), there are a number of options. One of the only free and decently rated ones is 'FileApp'. It allows you to upload files to your device, via FTP. They previously had a USB-upload option, but Apple asked them to remove it (lame). The plus side is that this application basically acts as a 'Finder' (opens nearly all file types).
Other than that, you take a gamble on paid apps.

I believe the last firmware introduced an auto fill option for usernames and passwords, check out Settings/Safari/Auto Fill.
I'm not sure if the following will work but a trick you could also try is to make an url of the portal site that includes your username and password in the beginning of it (something like http://username:pass...talsitename.com ) and copy it. Open your settings and turn off WIFI. Than open Safari, go into the adress bar and paste the previous copied url and hit go. Ignore any no connection warnings, press the + icon and select "add to home screen". And turn WIFI back on again.
If it does what I hope it does, pressing on the new created bookmark icon on your Springboard (home screen, or desktop in PC terms) instead of the Safari icon, hopefully results in an automatic log-on now.

See if there is a firmware update for the HC device that might solve the problem. Or buy a type of audio out cable for the iPod.
@Cpl there is a freely available Safari download plug-in from application stores like Cydia and Rock (requires JB). It stores files in a specific folder so I guess you either need to get another plug-in like Finder ($ I think) to move the files to a different location. Or get a new media player program that can play files from the root system and just point it at the download folder.

Q: I got instances my Ipod Touch's connection would drop and there are these signals that stays up, my neighbor's. Normally there is an option to forget unwanted WiFi, but for some reason, there is none.
Anyone know a way to completely remove their network or boost mine, without having to go to a 2.4Ghz Router to a 5Ghz/ Dualband?

Watkins, Branch and Kyle Williams among Bills inactives
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 23 2014 3:48PM
Fans of the Buffalo Bills will have to wait a bit longer for the home debut of rookie wide receiver Sammy Watkins. Watkins, among seven of his teammates, have been declared inactive for the team's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The wideout injured his ribs in the first quarter of last week's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers and did not return. Over the past week of practice, Watkins has been held out of most the team's drills outside of positional work.
In addition to Watkins, defensive tackle Alan Branch (undisclosed), defensive tackle Kyle Williams (leg), guard Chris Williams (lower back), tight end Tony Moeaki (hamstring), safety Jonathan Meeks (neck), cornerback Mario Butler (ankle) and cornerback Bobby Felder (groin) all will not play on Saturday against the Buccaneers.
Cornerback Leodis McKelvin, on the other hand, is active for the game and will get his first preseason start. Rookie guard Cyril Richardson will start in place of Chris Williams at left guard and defensive tackle Corbin Bryant will start for Kyle Williams.

What is API position on parents going out in the evening, or even just spending some time together alone ? I can understand when baby is very young, even up to one year, giving up going out in evening in favour of nursing baby to sleep / helping baby to sleep and being there when baby wakes up to help baby go back to sleep again. But after that? Does co-sleeping and nightime parenting mean you can never go on an evening date without children? Especially if you don't live near to extended family who could play a role?

To whom it may concern,
This post is for informational purposes only. I left this product a year ago for unresolved issues. However, i do have 277 days remaining on a license so i test it occasionally on new builds. Todays new build reveals that the dll file located at c:\progra~1\agnitum\outpos~1\wl_hoo~1.dll is causing the system to slow the boot process and generates a "WININIT" event warning in the log file. The fact that event ID 11 is a warning, does not reduce the impact this isssue is having on a fresh Windows 7 installation. There is a Corsair Force GT 240GB SSD drive in the system which is, the fatest Solid State Drive on the face of the earth, and boot times have increased with this warning/issue. Software that increases boot times on any SSD is pretty much (DNR) "Do Not Re-Install" in my opinion. In addtion, the Anti-Spam plug-in does not work with Outlook 2007. It freezes and Outlook fights for its own preservation on the system and shuts the plug-in down which is default behavior and by design. So for you people who are wonddering where your Outpost toolbar is in Outlook, you will find it in Outlook's list of disabled add-ons. This issue i escalated with Agnitum 50 days ago by sending the logs and still no response.
Gone for good are the days of stable, effective, protection once afforded by Outpost Firewall Pro... What a shame...

So So
can anyone draw what will be the end product of smoker's face? the injury seems deep.plus the previous scar.
Right now I don't think we can accurately estimate Luffy's strength to rank him in comparison to the other big league players. We simply haven't seen him go all out yet since the time skip. Luffy had always had difficulty fighting Logia users in the past, but we've seen that he's taken care of that issue now.
I'm hoping that we'll get to see Zoro and Kin'emon spar together a bit, I'd like to see more about Kin'emon ability to cut flames.
Such is the One Piece manga.
What is purpose of Luffy becoming PK and the crew obtaining their goals if it happens too fast? Again, this is a problem I find in the Bleach manga, where Ichigo continually faces the same sort of villains who wish to destroy him, his family and friends, SS etc, until he is enlightened to this initially freakishly surprising power NO ONE knew he had ( I swear the number of over the shoulder head turns with frightened eyes saturate the manga and are this type of scene's curtain opening) but yet he can eventually wield to destroy them with a new bankai/whatever sword, only to shout his signature yell and stand victorious after little (or long unsatisfactory) buildup, after which he adds another similar yet "shocking" saga to his Soul Reaper, Hollow, Vizard, Fullbringer, Quincy blood line.
However, I digress from my rant.
My point is, One Piece is build on the premise of unpredictability (or well shrouded similarities as xiaoxiao will argue of the Grand Line and NW storylines) of each saga/arc, intricate, deep character and story developement, and overall, if not most important, smart pacing. Additionally, if your specific problem is the level at which the crew is performing, which I dare say it is and have thus otherwise, for practicality's sake, added a rather extended argument of how great manga works in my opinion, then I hope you, as well as others who believe Luffy/crew's past two villains have been less than exemplory, take a closer look at Hodi and Caesar. For one, Hodi, a fishman by nature, who is ten times stronger than a human naturally, enduced by cursed power multiplying (on a fishman mind you), and fueled by a holy war against humanity for what they did to his race, fell to Luffy only after taking numerous haki imbued attacks, an explosive Gear Second Red Hawk, a Gear Third Elephant Gun, and ultimately a Gear Third Elepant Gatling. The battle, much of it underwater or at a disadvantage for Luffy, was so extrenuous for Luffy, that the Great White fishman nearly killed the future PK after chomping through the latter's shoulder. Can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you Jinbe.
.....aannnnd I digress back into my rant lol.
Furthermore, upon reaching Punk Hazard, the crew as a WHOLE, has been defeated once each, if not twice for some of them. Also remember that Caesar, a psychotic scientist bent on destroying the world (yes more so Vegapunk but he's willing to do anything to do so) and a logia who can manipulate the very gasses in the atmosphere and body and fuse with "Land of Death," fell once again after a sequence of haki imbued, enraged Luffy attacks, the final one being a newly promoted Gear Third Grizzly Magnum.
Overall, I won't say the crew has gone all out in either arc. Not by any means. However, we have seen them struggle realistically, especially Luffy, which is how we gauge how far the crew in general has come thus far. Certainly, they MUST continue to grow and face greater opponents, they must develope their powers at a realistic pace. If they don't continue to fight increasingly powerful opponents, they will have what happened two years ago at Sabody happen again, which was one of the most shocking turn of events because it specifically illustrated how "lightweight" the SHs were. In this regard, I agree with you. Nevertheless, I disagree that Oda should push the story along for the simple sake of illustrating how powerful and PK worthy Luffy and crew are following two years, all for the purpose of expecting the PK and crew must be 100% victorious 100% of the time, not amazingly if not intelligently triumphant against 30% odds. Such a premise would rob us readers of an enjoyable and emotionally engaging story, where unsuspected revelations and outcomes are replaced by shoddy, underhyped and hollow victories.
In conclusion and on a side note, the chapter exemplifies greatness on every level. I would like to thank everyone for reading; this has been a Word Riot by yours truly :p.

^ First time I saw it I thought he had Unohana's hair
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Amazing chapter. The last page is so badass. So this settles it, Dofla uses "strings" as his power and he's effective against logias.
3 Admirals
4 yonkous
Then we have the first mates of the Yonkous and Sengoku. There's also the possibility of really strong independent crews out there, the royal guards for the tenryubitto and Dragon's high ranking members. Dofla is up there sure, but I doubt he cracks the top ten.
Based on how Dofla and Law(which I assume is at Luffy's level) handled Smoker, I think it's safe to say that Dofla is stronger but not that much as to say Luffy has no fighting chance.
sig made by me
And, Second: Well...they don't have to fight right now :-/
I don't mind if Oda wants to take another 100 chapters to properly set up the confrontation (as he is so expertly doing now)--I still maintain that Luffy should meet Doflamingo in battle, and must be able to defeat him when he does.
Otherwise, you're giving me two positions that I didn't take, and don't believe: That Oda should corrupt the pacing of the story, and that he should do so to have Luffy rOFLSTMP Doflamingo. I didn't say I wanted to see either of these things. I agree with you.So I can't even counter-argue because I didn't say what you...well, you get it.
Each crewmember has not been defeated--they've been careless, and have succumbed to environmental hazards like terrible RPG characters. Yes, Luffy did overcome a VERY strong opponent in Hody and an incredibly lethal one in CC, but I would not call either case really struggling. When are we going to get another Zoro vs. Mr. 1? Usopp + Chopper vs. Mr. 4 and MerryChristmas? Nami vs. Kalifa? Luffy vs. Lucci?
THAT was struggle. THAT was seeing protagonists overcome impossible odds. THAT was the magic.
To be sure, the crew has been performing QUITE admirably! In fact, I would argue they have been 100% beasting 100% of the challenges they have faced since the timeskip. We're getting little of the stuff that made us fall in love with these characters: watching this family of wackjobs put everything they had--blood, bones, lives--on the line against people who should be able to wipe the floor with them. I don't want to see that change.
There is plenty of story before, during, and, I'm sure, after Doflamingo. Strong as he is, he's small fry compared to the admirals and Yonkou--that has been readily certain. To be honest, if Luffy can't top him, he really should just quit right now and rent himself out as a bouncehouse at children's parties.
P.S. Third: Your Bleach observation was spot-on lol.
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
You can't assume there is a guy (or group of guys) in the shadows stronger then Flamingo in a 1 on 1 fight, because we've already seen many famous NW pirates during the War - none of which seems to come CLOSE to Flamingo, in feats OR prestige.
Flamingo toyed with Josu, he chopped Oars Jr's leg off with seemly little difficulty, he manhandled the marines at Marine HQ before the war (I only say this because those Marines couldn't have been simple Privates, I have no proof other then it would make no sense for the WG to show weakness in front of the Warlords), he seemed to think he was strong enough to have Crocodile as a subordinate (which must had been on good footing since I don't see Flamingo as stupid), lastly, Law had to FIGHT Smoker, Law seemed to just bring him down (with the rest of the G-5) - it didn't seem like he was even out of breath.
The only people who I would feel comfortable putting above Flamingo are.
3 old Admirals
Dragon (maybe, he has no feats - just going on prestige he is though)
Garp is a grandpa, so is Rayleigh, in their day they may would had obliterated Flamingo but not now, Garp couldn't even free himself from Sengoku, Rayleigh couldn't save the SH's - before Kuma came the SH's would had really been captured/killed there.
As Law said, Flamingo is the BIGGEST of the underground pirates, that's saying something, in the NW Vice Admirals are the enforcers for the WG, and Flamingo just trounced a G-5 VA, and the G-5 was said to be the most dangerous position for Marines in the NW.
If you respond, let me ask you, do you think Flamingo is above Vergo? the Vergo which put fear into Smoker? (I'm making this point to say, if Vergo is a VA Hero and Flamingo is measurably stronger, what stops him from breaking into the top 10?)
I'd put Flamingo at about Marco's level, FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN (I admit I could be over judging, but from everything we KNOW).
Could Marco 1v1 a old Admiral? no, Could Marco fight a Admiral? yes.
That's the same thing I think about Flamingo, I hope we see him trade blows with Aokiji (though I know it wont be a life/death fight, just enough to gauge is all I want)
And I'd def put Marco in the top 15 in One Piece Universe, so Flamingo breaks the top 10.

Santa Cruz artist Gene Flores designed a sculpture for Salz Tannery that was both beautiful and functional.
The installation of the Salz fountain in 1975 required an enormous crane to move the sculpture from River Street down into the courtyard.
The Salz sculpture was hoisted by crane and paused on River Street prior to its installation in the tannery courtyard.
Salz Tannery employed about 185 people in 1985.

It's Tiger's time to take back what he lost
by Radio Joe
posted Jul 22 2012 2:57PM
If Tiger Woods would have shot a simple one under par round in the final round of the British Open, he'd be in a playoff right now with Ernie Els. Instead, Tiger adds another minor collapse to his career, beginning with a triple bogey on the long Par Four sixth hole, a hole he birdied in the first three rounds. While I believe his use of iron play off the tee was fairly wise throughout the entire tournament, that particular play lost fluidity in the final round. His new swing developed by his new swing coach Sean Foley is coming along round after round. I think he's settled into that swing. However, when he needed it the most today, his ball striking was as poor as it ever was. To make matters worse, the wind, the fescue, and the diabolical pot bunkers proved to be a major dent for Tiger. It was nice to see Tiger birdie the 18
to conclude a roller coaster weekend, but in the end, Tiger will return home to Florida without the Claret Jug, and another failed opportunity at winning a major championship title. Just about everybody following the game of golf has been asking this universal question since Tiger won the 20-player field at the Chevron Classic last December. "Is Tiger Woods Back?"
We're use to Tiger getting out of trouble in awkward lies, making those clutch five-footer, ten-footer, and even 20-footer par putts, and winning tournament after tournament after tournament. After his personal life intervened with his near-perfect and unstoppable golf game, Tiger has not been the same golfer we know today. As we all know, you either love Tiger or despise him. Because of that, you set the bar at a certain level for his golf game. For those that loved him, winning for the first time at the Chevron was a sign that the 'Old Tiger' is back. For those that hated his guts, winning the Chevron was a joke. If he ever wants to be the same player he was before his infidelity, he must break Jack Nicklaus' major record. No matter where the bar is set, there's always going to be bias.
I've always been a big fan of the guy. I was crushed to hear Tiger's sex exploits when Elin wasn't around. It was disheartening to see a man, who was practically the king of the world, betray his family, friends, and fans. His whole life crashed to the ground. Deep down as a fan, I know Tiger wanted to get out of this humiliating and unsettling nightmare. If it was going to be anybody that could save Tiger from ruining his life, image, and career, it was going to be Tiger. While I don't know Tiger personally, I know he's improving year after year. In the 2012 PGA Tour Season, Tiger is getting close to coming back.
Winning the 20-man field at the Chevron Classic was just the beginning. Tiger has won three times on Tour this year – the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Memorial, and the AT&T National. Tiger also had a tie for second finish earlier this year at the Honda Classic. Leading the PGA Tour in the FedEx Cup point total, Tiger has risen from the mid-20s in the World Golf Rankings to now number four in the world (before the British Open results). In front of him are three golfers that have not been on their A-game - #3 Lee Westwood, #2 Rory McIlroy, and #1 ranked Luke Donald (who has yet to win a major). At this point, Tiger is in the driver's seat.
On the flip side, while Tiger has won three times, he's also had some abysmal tournaments. He's missed cuts at the Wells Fargo and The Greenbrier Classic, while having poor finishes at the U.S. Open (T-21), the Players Championship (T-40), and surprisingly The Masters (T-40). To me, Tiger reminds me of the average Tour player. There are so many great talents on the PGA Tour. The majority of these pros have the tendency of winning at least a couple of tournaments during the season, and then also missing a few cuts. There's not one golfer on tour as of right now that consistently can win tournaments and/or finish in the top-10 week in and week out. When Tiger Woods was at the top of the world, he never missed a cut. If you follow Tiger close enough, he was always on the first page of the leaderboard, whether he ended up winning or not.
During his absence, not one golfer took it upon themselves to steal Tiger's mojo. Most of the attention has been centered around some of the young up-and-comers on Tour. Rory McIlroy was supposed to be 'the guy'. So far, his play as of late has been an utter disappointment. Rickie Fowler, whom I consider to be the most overrated golfer out there, hasn't done enough, outside of his only career victory at the Wells Fargo this year. Dustin Johnson is another talented stud, but he's had a difficult time finishing down the stretch, especially major championships (Exhibit A: the bunker situation at the 2010 PGA Championship). In my opinion, Bubba Watson may be that one player that could mimic Tiger's game. His shot shaping is one of the best on Tour; he can blast the crap out of the ball; not only does he have 4 career wins on Tour early in his career, he's consistently appearing in the Top-10 on leaderboards. Plus, he has a Masters title under his belt. He's also a guy that can successfully battle emotions on the golf course. His personal life has always been on his mind - he's lost his father due to throat cancer; his wife was unable to conceive children, and for a while, they had a hard time adopting a child. Most recently, they were chased in their car by some crazy person in the middle of the night. Perhaps his only flaw, Bubba will also call things like he sees it. For example, he said his game was not fit for the Olympic Club at the U.S. Open (he missed the cut because of that attitude). Bubba, however, strikes me as somebody that can take his game to the next level. And by the way, where has Phil Mickelson been in all of this? That might be the biggest shocker, while Tiger was trying to deal with his personal life.
Case and point - Tiger is at the same playing level as the rest of the professional field. At the same time, not one golfer on Tour wants to take over the power that Tiger once had. This is Tiger's opportunity NOW to regain and take back the power he lost three years ago. It starts by locking down a major championship. While he's 0 for 3 in Majors this year, he has another shot at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island in August. Whether he wins it or not, I honestly believe that it's just a matter of time before he wins another major. Although Tiger did not show his best at the British Open this weekend, he managed to finish tied for third. A lot of people from both biases do agree that Tiger will be considered "back" when he wins a major. I believe so, too. We know the guy can win again on Tour; let's see if he can bring that spark to the Majors. Tiger has a lot of fuel still in the tank. Theoretically, if the guy can stay healthy, the sky is the limit. Remember, Tiger is 36 years old. Tom Watson was 59 when he almost won the British Open a couple of years ago. People thought Jack Nicklaus was washed up at the age of 46 before he won the Masters in 1986. I'm sorry, but if Tiger can't at least win a Major by the time he's 46, then we know Tiger is probably done for good.

He's arrogant, classless and I hope he never wins another major in his life. There are so many better people out there to cheer for!

Emery County took the opportunity to show off just a little as the Permanent Community Impact Fund Board met in Castle Dale. They stayed at the Castle Valley Ranch and toured the power plant while they were here. The board attended the Desertview ProRodeo along with their meetings. They also visited the Millsite Golf Course. The wives of board members were also taken on a field trip of the new North Springs shooting facility and visited the Wedge.
Keith Burnett began the CIB meeting with a briefing of the board on the agenda items for this trimester funding meeting. He went over and explained each agenda item, the agency requesting the funding, and the reasons for the request. He reviewed the details and informed the board of any follow up that had taken place concerning the request.
Gordon Walker began the formal meeting by stating his appreciation to Emery County and its Commissioner Drew Sitterud for their hospitality in hosting this meeting. Commissioner Drew Sitterud welcomed the entire group to Emery County.
This board was established to control the flow of mineral royalty monies to the counties or state entities which are socially or economically impacted by the extraction of minerals from public lands. The State of Utah allocates 32 percent of the mineral lease money paid to the state by companies to the PCIB for distribution to impacted areas. This 11 member board takes and reviews applications, then disburses the monies.
Each rural community in Utah where mineral extraction has an impact, can boast of improvements made in their area from this mineral royalty money. All cities in Emery County have received loans or grants to make much needed upgrades to sewer or water systems, fire fighting capabilities, or recreational facilities which benefit the entire community.
Some of the requests considered at the July 26 meeting were: sewer system improvement in the Ashley Valley Water and Sewer Improvement District; search and rescue building from the Carbon County Building Authority; aquatics center in Moab; town hall and fire station for Myton, Elsinore and Lyman; and culvert improvements in Monroe.
Applications are made by state or county agencies for consideration in one of the trimesters during the year long funding period. The deadlines for submitting applications for each of the trimester funding cycles will be no later than the following dates: first trimester, Dec. 1; second trimester, April 1; third trimester, Aug. 1.
The CIB holds meetings on the first Thursday of every month during the trimester to consider and review the applications. The final meeting of the trimester is the funding meeting. This meeting is when the applicants learn about the success or failure of their application.
An interest bearing loan is the preferred method of issuing money from the CIB. In many instances, they will give grants or no-interest loans. In other cases, a combination of loan or grant may be decided upon.
During the next several hours, the board considered each agenda item. Many of the first few items had been on previous funding meeting agendas and had been tabled for reconsidered with some alterations. These items were quickly approved.
Other agenda items were opened for discussion and representatives of the entity making the application were questioned by members of the board. In several instances, no one was present to represent the applicant and the item was not discussed any further. It was immediately tabled until the next funding trimester in hopes that someone would be present to answer questions.
A sample of the questions asked were: the ability of the applicant to repay the loan; the ability of the applicant to maintain the project upon completion; and the feasibility of downsizing the project. The board then considers the effectiveness of the project and makes a decision.
Another portion of the agenda dealt with projects that have been approved and the agency or entity has returned with a request to make a change from the original application. Many applicants return to request additional funding due to the inflation rates of building materials and labor costs.
In one instance considered at the meeting, an agency was requesting funding for a project as a 100 percent grant. The board discussed and informed the representative that if this project was completed, the city would save several thousand dollars a year. This would allow the city to make payments to the CIB on a 0 percent interest loan in the amount of the request. The board granted the request for a 100 percent loan at 0 percent interest.
Many of the applicants who came to this meeting were appearing before the board for the second time. In one instance, the board had made recommendations to the applicant, and they were back with the answers to the suggestions in hand. These answers and alterations enabled the applicant to be successful on his second trip.
With another funding meeting behind them, the CIB will continue to meet each month to review and discuss the best ways to benefit the areas of the State of Utah which are impacted by the extraction of minerals.

"I am not exactly sure why it needs to be stored in the fridge. Baked fruit pies aren't so I don't see the difference. The apples make the cake moist and flavorful. And they look so pretty on top of the cake like that. The cinnamon and sugar brings out the apple goodness."
"This is a great way to make tasty burgers without the bun! Love it!"
"This looks like a nice recipe and very simple. I didn't expect it to be so simple because the chicken looks so good. I can imagine the chicken gets a nice caramelization on the skin with this which must really delicious. I definitely think I am going to give this one a go."
"This Cajun pepper chicken looks yummy. I love the idea of the Cajun cream sauce. I'm definitely going to make it. I think you could use it on all sorts of things, not just chicken. Imagine it over some lamb? I'm definitely going to start with the chicken though and I'm doing it tonight. I was looking for something to do with my chicken and I've found it!"
"This recipe looks very interesting. It wasn't anything like I was expecting. We also have an abundance of sweet potatoes where I live all year round so I thought I would look at this recipe for some ideas but never expected to find sweet potatoes cooked this way. I don't know if I will like it but I am willing to try."

The Hurricanes bounced back from defeat to the Bulls with a 39-34 win over the Cheetahs that hurts the South Africans' play-off hopes.
The Hurricanes bounced back from last week's defeat to the Bulls with a 39-34 win at the Cheetahs that hurts the South Africans' play-off hopes.
With the scores locked at 12 apiece at half-time and no tries on the board, it looked like the recent trend of high-scoring meetings between the two Super Rugby teams was not going to continue.
However, a far more open second-half made for an entertaining spectacle in Bloemfontein as tries from Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea, TJ Perenara and Victor Vito saw the Hurricanes claim the win.
The bonus-point win lifts them up to eighth in the overall standings but crucially remain fourth in the New Zealand conference. A home game against the out-of-form Chiefs next Friday is incredibly important to the 'Canes' play-off aspirations.
Naka Drotske's Cheetahs could not back up their good form on the road but managed to pick up a losing bonus-point via a late Elgar Watts penalty.
The 'Canes came out with pride on the line after that heavy loss at Loftus and set about taking a 9-0 lead thanks to the boot of fly-half Barrett.
Burton Francis responded though and the teams went in at the break at 12 points apiece in what was a half the 'Canes had the better of. With Robert Ebersohn having been in the sin-bin from minute 15, the Cheetahs would have been very happy with the interval scoreline.
The first try of the match came in the 51st minute, when Barrett scored in the corner, barging over replacement scrum-half Sarel Pretorius close to the right touchline to make it 17-12.
The visitors crossed the line again a minute later. All Blacks winger Savea chased his own kick and gathered to score the Hurricanes' second try of the evening. It was now 22-12.
The Cheetahs though persevered and both loosehead prop Coenie Oosthuizen, with two tries, and inside centre Ebersohn, with one, kept the home side in the free-flowing game.
The 'Canes added two further tries as scrum-half Perenara and number eight Vito scored. Barrett sealed the result with penalties with his accurate kicking sealing a priceless victory.
The scorers:
For Cheetahs:
Tries: Oosthuisen 2, Ebersohn
Con: Watts 2
Pen: Francis 4, Watts
For Hurricanes:
Tries: Barrett, Savea, Perenara, Vito

Virgin Blue To Launch Direct Weekly Flight Between Coffs Harbour And Melbourne20/09/2004
Virgin Blue has announced it will begin direct flights between Coffs Harbour and Melbourne following resounding requests from the local community.
The new weekly flight will operate every Saturday to begin with and the low fare airline will monitor the flight closely to determine if there is enough demand to increase the number of services.
The Melbourne flight will be the second Virgin Blue flight option in and out of Coffs Harbour and will compliment the original Coffs Harbour-Sydney services that were launched just over two years ago.
Virgin Blue has identified a large number of people taking advantage of connecting flights between the Victorian capital and Coffs Harbour via Sydney. This, combined with the success of the existing Sydney flights, has given the airline the confidence to introduce the direct Melbourne option to its expanding route network.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said "Coffs Harbour was our first regional New South Wales city and it is safe to say we are very happy with the large number of people choosing to fly with us between the two destinations be it for business or leisure."
He continued, "We have long held the view that smaller communities deserve the opportunity to have a jet service operating into the region and are fully capable of supporting a larger aircraft. This has well and truly proven to be the case in Coffs Harbour and additional services, such as the new Melbourne flight, are a direct result of strong and steady support."
A special launch fare of $99* one-way on the net is up for grabs from now until 26 September 2004, for travel between 6 November and 11 December 2004. Everyday low fares will start from $149* one way on the net.
Coffs Harbour locals will be able to fly direct on Virgin Blue's Saturday flight and then return on a connecting flight via Sydney unless they would like to spend the week soaking up the shopping, cultural, sporting and culinary delights that Melbourne has to offer.
For Victorians, it also provides a convenient opportunity to sample the delights of the Coffs Harbour region, which is fast becoming recognised as a fantastic coastal playground that offers first class accommodation, stunning beaches and outstanding recreational opportunities with the old fashioned warmth and friendliness of a small beach community."
Convenient connections will now be available via Melbourne to and from Hobart and Launceston, making it easier for tourists in both directions to travel between Coffs Harbour and Tasmania.
Virgin Blue has been working closely with local council, airport, business and tourism authorities who have been pro-active and enthusiastic in ensuring the region throws its support behind the airline's low fare jet service.
