Hi all,
Does anyone have hands on shooting experience with the Canon G15? I'm wanting to upgrade my 'at home' or 'take to the beach' vs my DSLR and the new f2.0 lens appeals quite a lot - I've usually disliked a lot of the higher end compacts as they had a crummy lens
But wondering how good it is in the real life vs the specs.

Arsène Wenger insists Arsenal's ambitions this season are far greater than simply finishing above Tottenham in the Premier League.
The Gunners have always topped their north London rivals in the final standings throughout the Frenchman's 16-year tenure at the Club.
While Wenger is confident of repeating the feat, he says his side is capable of achieving far more.
"Our main target is not to finish above Tottenham. Our main target is to finish at least in the top four," the manager said.
"There's not only Tottenham but other teams who can be in front of us.
"To be in the top four it is important to beat Tottenham and it also has an emotional impact. But the target of the season is not to finish above Tottenham, it is to finish in the top four [at least]."
Wenger admits that his side have not been at their fluid, attacking best in recent games, but believes Saturday's game offers the perfect opportunity to show their quality.
"[Our attacking fluidity] has been there because in some games we had that very well at the start of the season," he said. "We lost it a little bit at Norwich, against
Schalke at home where we were a bit flat and against Manchester United.
"Of course, then you wonder is it down to our potential. Is that down to the fact that we are just flat at the moment, physically? That's what we want to show now; that maybe we have come through a difficult patch, physically."

I'm trying to get BT4 installed locally. I watched the video about using Ubiquity to do it. However, it appears that they lied. It said that they booted to the CD, and then just typed Ubiquity and it worked. Not true.
First, Ubiquity is not found on the ISO, in memory or anywhere else. You have to do an apt-get install to get Ubiquity working. Then of course, you run into the issue where Ubiquity crashes when it can't set the language.
(problem described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/189193 )
Now being a Linux/Ubuntu n00b I am having trouble in two areas. First, when you boot to the iso, there is no /media/cdrom mounted on a physical machine, or on a Virtual Box machine (tried VMWare and Virtual PC 07 as well, same results). So you can't just point Ubiquity to the source files it needs. Additionally I also can't fine the .../casper/filesystem.squashfs stuff to mount on /var/lib/ubiquity/source anywhere either.
Since one of the alternative ways to get Ubiquity to work is to run it from the cdrom rather than manually mount the above files, it would be good if Ubiquity was actually included on the bootable iso so you could run it from the cdrom.
Can anyone tell me how to either, find and mount the filesystem.squashfs, or magically run Ubiquity from the 'cdrom' iso?

Both are very good guns but, based on what you said I would go with the CZ as it is better suited for the HD role you want your firearm to play.
What you said about revolvers ("just need to pull it out of the locked box and I'm good to go") is not true of the Ruger Blackhawk because it is a single action revolver. Unless you plan to store it cocked (which I wouldn't advise), then you need to pull back the hammer before you can get a round off, and you need to repeat this process for every shot.
I would not recommend a single action revolver for HD for this reason.
However, if you may consider other revolvers of the double action type (Ruger Redhawk or make/model), then it is more a matter of personal preference. The revolver is simpler to operate (consider a dud round for example) but a semi-auto generally gives you much greater capacity. And is usually quicker to reload, should you need to.
BTW, I would not worry about "mag stress". It should not be an issue. This subject comes up around here occasionally and I've never heard it be an issue. I personally have kept fully loaded mags in my pistol for months and months and it has always functioned when called upon. I'm pretty sure everyone else will say the same. Also, you will want several mags for your gun, and you can change them out periodically.
Hope this helps.

Been trying to get my Edimax EW-7318USg wireless usb adapter to work in BT and its proving rather difficult : /
Im running BT in VMware Workstation 7, and am using NAT. My wired ethernet connection works like a charm.
When I plug in my adapter I make sure that its being used by VMware correctly.
when I run iwconfig my adapter is in there as wlan0
so far so good...
If I run wicd my wired network shows up but no wireless, theres also no blinking activity light on my adapter at all at any point.
I then try putting it in monitor mode with airmon-ng start wlan0, followed by using airodump-ng mon0 to detect the networks in the area...again nothing.
Im assuming that I need to install the correct drivers?
So Ive been to the Edimax site and downloaded the Linux driver (RT73_Linux_STA_Drv22.214.171.124) and tried following their instructions in the readme but this has made no change whatsoever, I can only assume that Ive installed the driver incorrectly?
If someone has the knowledge to help me Id greatly appreciate it
Nevermind, got it working

Fox & Friends Saturday turns Benedict Arnold in war on Christmas
As we all know from the intense Fox News coverage beginning in mid-November, there is no story more important to our nation than whether people, companies, and towns wish each other "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays." Dubbed the "War on Christmas," Fox has dived headfirst into their perennial campaign to keep their viewers well-informed about who is committing the unforgivable sin of removing the word "Christmas" from the season and thereby somehow hastening the demise of what may be our nation's largest cultural and religious event. Just last week, for example, we were treated to three days of breathless coverage on Fox & Friends about a local parade in Tulsa, OK whose organizers decided to change the name from the "Christmas Parade of Lights" to the "Holiday Parade of Lights." Host Gretchen Carlson, one of the staunchest soldiers in the attempt to defend Christmas from its devious enemies, even thought it was important to note multiple times that the organizers' decision had prompted Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe and the Acres of Love Alpaca Farm to no longer participate [1] in the event.
This morning, however, the War on Christmas took a strange turn. While covering their seasonal party, Fox & Friends Saturday dropped the following bombshell:
Horrifying. Is Fox & Friends Saturday turning traitor in the War on Christmas? Will this lead to civil warfare between the powerful Carlson and the hosts of Fox & Friends Saturday, Fox News' most celebrated JV team? The picture shows hosts Dave Briggs, Alisyn Camerota, and Clayton Morris deigning to celebrate the "holiday" season with their weatherman. Now that the battle lines have been clearly drawn, we may see internecine fighting to rival Rove and Palin [2].
Don't worry, this incident is not the first step in a changing attitude toward Christmas on Fox. A few short hours later, America's News HQ hosted Mathew Staver, the founder of the Liberty Council, a Christian non-profit offering legal help to anyone fighting against reproductive choice [3], gay rights [4], and, for some reason, health care reform [5]. They also publish a yearly "naughty and nice" list [6] of which retailers use the word "Christmas" and which use the far more offensive "Holidays." The Council's "naughty" list includes those retailers "who profit off Christmas but pretend it doesn't exist." They apparently have been doing this for six years, which makes Mr. Staver the perfect person to get Fox's defense of Christmas back on track:

The Replacements
Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, a sloppy hardcore collection, was released in 1981 but failed to make much of an impact on the national scene. It was followed the next year by the Stink EP, which followed the same pattern as the debut. It was the band's second album, 1983's Hootenanny, that first garnered the band attention and helped build their fan base. On Hootenanny, the group started playing around with other genres, adding elements of pop, straightforward rock & roll, country, and folk, although sometimes the eclecticism was ironic.
Hootenanny set the stage for Let It Be, the band's critical and artistic breakthrough. Released in 1984, Let It Be showed that the band had successfully expanded their musical reach and that Westerberg had grown considerably as a songwriter; he was now capable of pop like "I Will Dare," full-throttle rock & roll, and introspective ballads like "Answering Machine." Critics and fellow musicians were quick to praise the band, and they developed a large underground following. The buzz was large enough to convince Sire to sign the band in 1985.
The Replacements' first major-label album, Tim, was scheduled to be produced by Westerberg's idol, Alex Chilton, but the sessions fell through; the album was produced by former Ramone Tommy Erdelyi. Upon its release in 1985, Tim garnered rave reviews that equalled those for Let It Be. Though the band was poised for a popular breakthrough, they were unsure about making the leap into the mainstream. As a result, they never let themselves live up to their full potential. The Replacements landed a spot on Saturday Night Live, but they were roaring drunk throughout their performances and Westerberg said "f*ck" on the air. Their concerts had became notorious for such drunken, sloppy behavior. Frequently, the band was barely able to stand up, let alone play, and when they did play, they often didn't finish their songs. The Replacements also refused to make accessible videos -- the video for "B**tards of Young" featured nothing but a stereo system, playing the song -- thereby cutting themselves off from the mass exposure MTV could have granted them.
After the tour for Tim, Bob Stinson was fired from the band, allegedly for his drug and alcohol addictions. The Replacements recorded their next album as a trio in Memphis, TN, with former Big Star producer Jim Dickinson. The resulting album, Pleased to Meet Me, was more streamlined than their previous recordings. Again, the reviews were uniformly excellent upon its spring 1987 release, but the band didn't earn many new fans. During the tour for Pleased to Meet Me, guitarist Slim Dunlap filled the vacant lead guitarist spot and he became a full-time member after the tour.
Two years later, the band returned in the spring of 1989 with Don't Tell a Soul, the Replacements' last bid for a mainstream audience. The bandmembers had cleaned up, admitting that their years of drug and alcohol abuse were behind them, and were now willing to play the promotional game. Don't Tell a Soul boasted a polished, radio-ready production and the group shot MTV-friendly videos, beginning with the single "I'll Be You." Initially, the approach worked -- "I'll Be You" became a number one album rock track, crossing over to number 51 on the pop charts. However, Don't Tell a Soul never really took off and failed to establish the band as a major commercial force.
Defeated from the lackluster performance of Don't Tell a Soul, Paul Westerberg planned on recording a solo album, but Sire rejected the idea. Consequently, the next Replacements album, All Shook Down, was a solo Westerberg record in all but name. Recorded with a cast of session musicians as well as the band, All Shook Down was a stripped-down, largely acoustic affair that hinted at the turmoil within the band. Chris Mars left shortly after its fall 1990 release, claiming that Westerberg had assumed control of the band; he would launch a solo career two years later. The Replacements toured in support of All Shook Down, with Steve Foley, formerly of the Minneapolis-based Things Fall Down, as their new drummer. Neither the tour nor the album were successful, and the Replacements quietly disbanded in the summer of 1991.
Tommy Stinson formed Bash & Pop the following year; in 1995, he formed a new band called Perfect. Dunlap released a solo album in 1993. Bob Stinson died February 15, 1995, from a drug overdose. Westerberg began a solo career slowly, releasing two songs on the Singles ("Dyslexic Heart," "Waiting for Somebody") soundtrack in 1992; he also scored the film. He released his debut solo album, 14 Songs, in the summer of 1993 to mixed reviews. Paul Westerberg's second solo album, Eventually, was released in the spring of 1996. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

The bio says early on they sounded like Husker and that Husker was the leader in the Minneapolis punk scene. I think both of those statements are crap. I love Husker, but only Bob Mould felt like it was some kind of competition. Replacements couldn't care less.

What are you for? Isn't it your job to see to it that has enough practice?
My take is that you are wasting too much time on advice. We all do at first. I suggest you get her involved in a conversation - choose a text and plan some remarks that could be questioned in class.
First, it won't be easy, but at least you'll get the experience to move on.
Second, communication in class is always pseudo-communication, so make it a point that she understands it perfectly well. Don't pretend that you are interested in her opinion. But it will give her the necessary practice. When she feels at ease, she will speak with her friends without advice from a teacher - we love to do what we can.
If it helps,

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Mar 7, 2014.
Dragic is the good version of Jennings.
Love Dragic, but he is a PG not a SG, but that's cool cos we don't really want Thomas anyway. Great offensive player, but same issue on D as Jennings.
The PER ratings take both offense and defense into account, of course. Dragic (who we could trade Monroe for) is the 3rd best SG in the league, on both sides of the court. Thomas (who we could sign) is the 4th best PG in the league, on both sides of the court. I didn't invent the statistic. Nor did I make up that Rudy Gay (who we could sign) is the 5th best SF in the league, on both sides of the court. ..Or that this Brandan Wright (who we could theoretically acquire for very little) is the 3rd best PF in the league, on both sides of the court. ..Or that Andre Drummond is the 4th best C in the league, on both sides of the court. It might be time for us to all embrace money-ball?
If some analytics hot-shot is brought in here as the new GM. He hires a great coach. He moves Smith and Jennings for expirings. He trades Monroe for Dragic. He trades (*something?*) for Wright. And he signs Gay and Thomas. I'd be all on board. Just to see how the experiment works. Can't be that bad, can it? If nothing else, along with a good draft pick here, it'd give us something to build off of again.
Tom Izzo is next Pistons coach Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Instead of matching/exceeding the 3.4 million Tom Izzo makes a year at MSU. I wish Tom Gores would just focus on matching/exceeding the 3 million Sam Presti makes a year at Oklahoma City. Then worry about a coach. Presti's the one guy out there who's managed to do the impossible; he built a genuine NBA powerhouse (for the present and foreseeable future) in a small market in the modern-day NBA landscape. He did this by tanking/developing young players, getting top-5 picks, drafting stars with those picks (Durant-#2, Harden-#3, Westbrook-#4), acquiring smart talent elsewhere (Ibaka-#24, Sefolosha, Perkins, etc.), managing the salary cap well (though, if he could go back, I bet he'd make room for Harden), putting a competent head coach in charge, and supporting him. He makes 3mil/year. Phil Jackson makes 12mil/year. We could quadruple his current salary and still not pay over fair market value. If he came here, I think it'd actually be better to lose our '14 pick. I'm guessing he'd move Smith and Jennings (our only contracts beyond next season) for expiring contracts. I'm guessing he'd resign Monroe and then trade him for a top-5 pick (Randle?). I'm guessing he'd run the kids out there and tank, acquire a top-5 pick in the '15 draft (E. Mudiay?). I'm guessing he'd run the kids out there again the next season and acquire a top-5 pick in the '16 draft (M. Newman?). Then hell, I'm hoping that he'd even run the kids out there again the next season and acquire a top-5 pick in the '17 draft (J. Jackson?). In three short years, our core could look like this: C: A. Drummond(23)-RFA PF: J. Randle(22)-1/2 yrs remaining on rookie contract. SF: J. Jackson(20)-4/5 yrs remaining on rookie contract. SG: M. Newman(20)-3/4 yrs remaining on rookie contract. PG: E. Mudiay(21)-2/3 yrs remaining on rookie contract. It'd be a sucky three years, I guess. But hell. It's been a sucky SEVEN years!! I've learned patience. At least it'd be an optimistic three years!
Great plan.
Sarcass all you want. It worked great for the Thunder.
Presti did not draft Durant. He also had good players with expiring contracts that he could trade for picks, and a top 5 pick courtesy of Seattle's horrible record. I think he has done a great job, but let's be honest. He got a team with Kevin Durant, a lotto pick (Harden), cap space, and Ray Allen, who he traded for a pick (Westbrook). Sent from outerspace
Until this roster gets fixed, it makes no difference whatsoever if the coach is Mo Cheeks, Phil Jackson, John Loyer, Steve Kerr, or Tom Izzo. The hiring of the next GM is by far the most important decision for this franchise....perhaps the biggest decision in the last decade. Sent from my laptop using a web browser
In a world where the best GM in the league is making 3mil, and phil jackson is making 12mil.. if we give Tom Izzo 4mil a season, I am just going to puke. Spend the money where it counts. Steal Sam Presti.
I guess Flip Saunders is out of the question. sent via smoke signal using Pendleton blanket
If it's young (30 and under) 3-pt. shooters who play decent defense you're looking for.. Danny Green, SG, SAS. 26. 42% career 3-pt shooter. 102 career defensive rating. 1 yr remaining on his contract. Starting for SAS, but only playing 24mpg and scoring 9ppg. I'm not sure what, exactly, it'd take to get him. But I don't think it'd take Monroe. Danny Granger, SF, LAC. 30. 38% career 3-pt shooter. 106 career defensive rating. FA at the end of the season. 21mpg and 9ppg. Klay Thompson, SG, GSW. 24. 41% career 3-pt shooter. 107 career defensive rating. 1 yr remaining on his contract (restricted). Starting for GSW, playing 36mpg and scoring 18ppg. This is a trade that'd take Monroe to make, and then some. Courtney Lee, SG, MEM. 28. 38% career 3-pt shooter. 107 career defensive rating. 2 yrs remaining on his contract. Starting for MEM, but only playing 24mpg and scoring 10ppg. I'm not sure what, exactly, it'd take to get him. But I don't think it'd take Monroe. Ryan Anderson, PF, NOP. 25. 39% career 3-pt shooter. 108 career defensive rating. 2 yrs remaining on his contract. Not starting for NOP, but playing 36mpg and scoring 20ppg. This would be a tough trade to pull off without giving up Monroe. Channing Frye, PF/C, PHX. 30. 39% career 3-pt shooter. 108 career defensive rating. Player option at the end of this season. Starting for PHX and playing 29mpg, but only averaging 12ppg.
I might try.. #1) Trading Greg Monroe for Klay Thompson. It'd be a tough deal to make. The Warriors have Curry at the point. Lee at the four. Iggy at the three. Bogut at the five (bad). Barnes stuck on the bench. Draymond behind him on the bench. Jordan Crawford playing well behind both on the bench. So.. kind of a log-jam at the wing and a hole at center. Maybe they'd be genuinely interested in making the deal almost straight up? Might take some extra assets. But nothing major, right? #2) I'd trade whatever it took to get Ryan Anderson. Monroe's gone, so that's tough, and negotiations start with our '16 1st rd. pick. Josh Smith or Brandon Jennings? By all means--want 'em, got 'em. KCP and Singler might be of interest. Jerebko might have some value? Mitchell might have some value? Hell, Stuckey? I think we could work something out. Our '16 pick has to look pretty great right now. #3) I'd trade whatever it took to get Danny Green. Probably not going to be a lot left over at this point. But Green shouldn't cost that much. And they can have whatever they want besides Drummond. Hopefully I can keep the '17 1st rd. pick out of it. Either way, should be enough there to get a deal done. Then we've got.. C: Andre Drummond(20) PF: Ryan Anderson(25) SF: Klay Thompson(24) SG: Danny Green(26) PG: Marcus Smart(20)--I hope! Three shooters who stretch and spread the court out for Smart and Dre to run a great two man game. Real potential there..
What are the odds on Joe stepping down next week? It would be in the best interests of the team and I think a good gesture on his part to allow the team to confirm a new GM and enter next season with the best possible opportunity to succeed.
Seems like he will just serve out his contract and then make a statement about how he isn't interested in pursuing an extension. The more face that Gores can allow his to save, the better for both of them. Then Dumars will sign on with a competitor, be reinvigorated and dominate us for the next 6 years.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gores and Dumars already have discussed and decided Joe's exit strategy.
You are proposing to dump all assets to achieve that roster you listed. It'll work great: - if the organization and the ownership has the mental fortitude to tolerate three more years of tanking - if the team that has been so used to losing terribly will be able to mentally make the switch to becoming winners overnight after the 2017 draft - if we are actually able to pull of the S&T with Moose and unload Jennings/Smith for expiring contracts - if all the players you listed are indeed available to us when it's our turn to pick - if those players actually do pan out in the NBA. (mind you, that's hitting the jackpot 4/4 in 3 drafts) - if Drummond still wants to play here after 3 more years of scraping the bottom of the barrel as he watches the team being dismantled around him That's a lot of "IF"s for that plan to succeed. If it came to pass somehow, it would be an amazing success story - worthy of a feature length Hollywood movie. It's just very highly unlikely that stars will line up like that.
All I know is they better keep Sheed. He has been the only bright spot in this whole loser season......
If we've been able to stay in business these past 7 years, we'll be able to last at least 3 more. If we were tanking and building a real future towards a championship, I know I'd get my season tickets back to watch the prospects develop That "used to losing" argument is crap IMO. The talented teams win. The untalented teams lose. Joe has been erroneously using that argument for 7 yrs now. See OKC. Trading Monroe for a good pick shouldn't be hard. Smith and Jennings contracts will have expired, traded or not, by the end of the plan. Those are just examples of picks. Who knows who will look good come the time. Someone will. Presti's got a flawless record with high picks. Harden and Westbrook were NOT sure things. I'd imagine that Drummond would have a nice bond formed with all the other young players by that point and be excited about the future here--as we all would.

But now in a new barn on a new coast, the 4-year-old Benchmark colt will try to reverse his fortunes in one of New York's more popular and tradition-rich races, Thursday's 95th running of the $100,000-added Fall Highweight Handicap at six furlongs.
Parking gates will open at 9:15 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, and admission gates will open at 9:30 a.m.
Martin and Pam Wygod's Idiot Proof has only been in trainer Bruce Levine's barn for a few weeks. Previously trained by C.W. Sise Jr. in California, Idiot Proof's last race was the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Santa Anita, where he beat only one horse in the 14-horse field.
"It's hard to say much about him because we're still getting to know him," Levine said. "He was in Dubai earlier this year (second to Benny the Bull in the Golden Shaheen), and it may be that he needed more time to get re-acclimated here. His breezes have been okay. He's not a big horse. He was sent here to run in these stakes this winter. He probably would have been in races like the DeFrancis Dash, but that race is gone. So, he's here and this race is as good a spot as any to start him."
Jockey John Velazquez has the mount at 132 pounds.
Darley Stable's 5-year-old Songster, a graded stakes winner as a three-year-old, is hoping to make a full comeback in the Fall Highweight. After being retired in August 2007 with a soft tissue injury, he was sent to stud in 2008 for a fee of $10,000, but failed to impregnate any of the 60 mares he covered. Songster was sent back into training and in his first race since winning the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Handicap at Belmont Park in 2007, Songster ran third in the mud here behind two other Fall Highweight rivals: Susan Moore and M and M Thoroughreds' Grand Champion, the defending Fall Highweight champ, and Char-Mari Stable's He's So Chic.
"That wasn't a bad race at all," said trainer Tom Albertrani. "When he was 3, he ran second at Aqueduct in the Bay Shore on a sloppy track. I remember Edgar (Prado, jockey) saying that he didn't handle the track at all that day. We were reluctant to start him the other day, even though the track wasn't as sloppy as the Bay Shore was that time. He still didn't handle it real well, but we had to start somewhere with him. He got a little tired, which is what I expected, but he got a race under his belt and he still ran third."
Prado returns aboard Songster at 131 pounds.
Ferocious Fires is also on the comeback trail after he had some suspensory problems in his left-hind leg. He was given plenty of time, and this year he has two wins and two thirds in five starts for trainer Anthony Dutrow Jr. A son of a Lite the Fuse, he will carry 131 pounds on Thursday.
Grand Champion, trained by Jimmy Jerkens, is 5-year-old Two Punch gelding ready for his title defense.
"He has always had his problems with his back and hind-end, so we stopped on him," said Jerkens, explaining why Grand Champion raced 10 times last year and only five times so far this year. "His last race was a good one and probably for a combination of reasons. He was doing good, we put blinkers on him and he showed good speed, which is what we wanted to see."
Grand Champion is also fond of Aqueduct, where he has won two of three starts with one third. Eibar Coa will ride him in the Fall Highweight at 131 pounds.
Fabulous Strike, runner-up in the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont Park and fifth in the Breeders' Cup Sprint last month, returns to the dirt for trainer Todd Beattie. He will carry the top weight of 136 pounds and will break from the rail in the Fall Highweight.
Silver Stetson Man gets in with 128 pounds for the Fall Highweight, and with Prado aboard Songster, the 4-year-old son of 1997 Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner Silver Charm will be ridden by Alan Garcia.
Completing the field for the Fall Highweight Handicap are Gold Trippi, who will carry 128 pounds, and Nakayama Arashi, who is assigned 126 pounds. Nakayama Arashi is trained by Richard Dutrow Jr., who has also entered Hudson Handicap winner Stormin Normandy in the Fall Highweight.
Stormin Normandy was sent to post Sunday as the 3-5 favorite in the overnight Itaka Stakes at a mile at the Big A, was the pacesetter early and then backed up after a half of 46.82 as 16-1 Love Abroad came home the winner in 1:37.41 on the fast track.
The field for Thursday's 95th running of the Fall Highweight Handicap:
1a. Fabulous Strike Todd Beattie Ramon Dominguez 136
2. Ferocious Fires Anthony Dutrow Cornelio Velasquez 131
3. Grand Champion James Jerkens Eibar Coa 131
4. Stormin Normandy Richard Dutrow Jr. Richard Migliore 131
5. Songster Thomas Albertrani Edgar Prado 131
6. He's So Chic Jason Servis Jose Lezcano 127
7. Gold Trippi Stanley Hough Javier Castellano 128
8a. Nakayama Arashi Richard Dutrow Jr. Eddie Castro 126
9 Idiot Proof Bruce Levine John Velazquez 132
10. Silver Stetson Man Bob Baffert Alan Garcia 128


text: In Lebron's case, he didn't even receive the max contract. It was the salary cap that seemed to provide the limitation that he, Wade, and Bosh had to solve. They clearly valued a likely Championship into the equation and put a personal value on that which made up for the loss in salary. In fact, Lebron may have factored in that he would win 7 or more Championships. Their strategy is a valid one for all of the 4 major sports. Just take less salary with the assurance that other great players will do the same and try to ensure that you will be a Champion. You'll probably make it all up in endorsements and you'll be much happier. It may even be worth playing for free for a year to do it (which is essentially what many veterans decide when they take the vet's minimum to join a contender). While the lack of state income tax in FL is a clear advantage, I have a hard time believing that the players actually care that much. For instance, if Detroit was the state with no income tax, I doubt it would have become the destination for LBJ, Wade, and the other guy.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have two breeders near me that come to mind. One charges $1500.00 and the other averages $3500. The two breeders have worked together and I have seen them mix those lines. I prefer the breeder that charges $1500, not because of the price, but because of knowledge and helpfulness in general.

And simply reply " A $1000" since I am a mathamagologist...but....
I will be a bit shallow for a second and suggest you should treat your purchase of a dog the same as an investment of your hard earned dollars....due diligence is required. There's lots of options out there ( some worthy and some not so worthy ) and you seem to be on the proper path asking good questions. Problem is....there are guarantees out there but none that will compensate you for emotional loses....at the end of the day...it certainly can be a crapshoot...but one can certainly better the odds with their due diligence....
|We posted within a minute of each other so I did not see your post when I was typing. I was replying to the OP when I said "your puppy" not to you. .
On my pup? It's not like I just picked him up out of the blue. Didn't mean it to sound that way. His parents had physical documentation for all OFA scores and competition titles as well as references for other customers who had gotten puppies from the same breeder and gotten positive health checks and titled their pups in various sports, many of which I was actually able to call the owners and confirm. I also visited the parents themselves several times on site and saw for myself their general temperament around other dogs and strange people (which was calm but aloof, just as it should be). While he may have been on the cheaper end which usually isn't indicative of high quality, I was provided the documentation to back up their dogs. In my experience, I've never run into health or temperament problems with runt of the litter puppies, so I was not concerned about that.
I didn't mean that all $1000 puppies are just fine, just that you can always check them out and see if they may be one you would be comfortable with. It doesn't have to be a $4000 champion bloodline dog to be a healthy, stable dog. That may be what someone looks for if they want say a serious sport or confirmation dog, but that depends on the OP's goals with the dog.
I would say most breeders who are serious about health concerns and overall quality barely break even on a $1500 puppy because of all they are investing in health checks, performance checks, proving their dog has the "right stuff" to be a solid working dog, proving the dog has the right structure etc.
Your puppy's parents may not have had any of these things and you just got lucky. There are plenty of sad stories here where folks got the short end of the stick.
It depends on what the breeder has put into the dogs. I'm sure someone with knowledge on the value of different bloodlines can clarify more, but if the dog has a particularly impressive bloodline, multiple titles on parents, grandparents, especially Schutzhund titles, those puppies tend to be more because the breeders have likely put a lot of work into proving their dogs are healthy and sound through both competition and testing. It can also depend on how prestigious those titles are. A dog that has earned SchI vs SchIII and so on. The average that I see for a good pup is 1-2000.
I only ended up getting mine much cheaper due to circumstance. He originally had a deposit on him before the litter was born to go to another couple, but he was an excessively tiny runt in comparison to the rest of the litter, so they decided against him and wanted to wait for the next litter. No one wanted him so the breeders offered a discount because he was so tiny and I came along and got him. It can depend on the situation. My pup's parents aren't any national level show or sport competitors, but they both titled in multiple sports, and both checked out very well in their health clearances, so I had no problem getting a smaller pup from one of their litters.
I would think the titles and conformations would demand a higher price. Are you looking at AKC GSD's or German bloodlines. I'm not sure what AKC has to do for breeding, but here's a video on the German Standards, :
I'd have to see the specific breeding to judge but there's lots of reasons. First one that comes to mind on the $600 dog is the person didn't do much in the way of health testing or spend a lot of money to bring the pups into the world.
Some breeders ask different prices for different breedings - titles on the parents and what they think the quality of the pups is.
What's the difference between a breeder that asks for 1k or 2k for a pup?
Then one that asks for maybe 600 or less... And have the pedigree and papers and AKC? Is it because some are working lines and some are showing? I honesty don't understand the difference. They're just as beautiful as the more expensive ones and heathy. I'm just curios, I've always wondered this. I got a blanket back GSD from a breeder for only 450 and he was heathy and behaved amazingly when was matured.

The old saying; give someone a fish and they will eat fora day, teach someone to fish and they will feed themselves.The extremely rich have a nice little habit; they build memorials to themselves, wings on libraries, wards on hospitals, halls on college campuses ..etc.. What if they used, just some, of that money to build factories?
Cut the profit and the money payed to stockholders, build a factory big enough to mass produce them and ....... a machine in every home?
I live in the woods of North Wisconsin. There are many more Hospitals (great profits in denying AND providing health care) than factories around here (Bars and Churches are well represented too). Marshfield recently completed a multimillion dollar project just fifty miles away. Haven't heard of a factory built in 30 years.
Here goes, I am not saying the hospitals, universities, museums,etc were a waste of money. They are 'giving a person a fish dinner'
Medical supplies are GENERALLY, way over priced compared to similar products.
I am saying use a LITTLE of the money donated - to fund factories, to make work
I am suggesting that WITHOUT the drive for profits ( and dividends) and with the philanthropy of some of our super rich, there are products out there, that are not being produced (or under-produced), that could be produced on a large enough scale, to provide good jobs and an inexpensive product for 'the masses'
I am not condemning the good the rich do in this country. I didn't mention government doing anything in this post. Thank you for your work in the Red Cross. What I was suggesting was a discussion on a different direction of philanthropy, nothing more. I didn't say it should be government mandated or government taxed or demand that it be built in an unwise location.
Some of the replies to this post have me bewildered, I can't see anything that would cause so much angst.

Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the replies. I wish my car only cut out 3-4 times in half an hour. At around 2C and below my car tries to cut out at least once a minute, so my 30min drive to work is perilous especially, as you say, pulling away at junctions, i look like a new driver as my car bunny hops down the road as it desperately tries to stall, im getting about 20mpg at the moment down from over 40mpg cos i have to keep the revs up constantly, at lights, junctions and any other time i stop or else it will stall, and when i am going slowly. Occasionally the car goes limp and i get the Engine System Fault warning on the display so i have to restart the engine and hope it doesn't happen as im going up hill. On the plus side it forces me to stay alert at all times, cannot wait to get rid of the damn thing, im buying a flat in the next week or so , so im stuck with it for at least a few more months. I will also go with a petrol car, probably from a garage as well so it will have a warranty, you live and learn.
Hello Rovey
I'm sorry to hear of the problems you have been having, and unfortunately I can't offer any advice or consolation other than my (ex) 4 year old 1.6 TDCI Focus had exactly the same problem.
Like you I experienced numerous engine cuts when the weather was cold. Around freezing point the engine was fine, but at around -5 degrees centigrade it would cut out two or three times on a half hour journey, and at colder temperatures it was almost impossible to drive the car. The car was most likely to cut out when the demand for power was high, for example pulling away at junctions or joining fast moving traffic streams. Whilst the car was in warranty I took it back to the dealer numerous times, but to be honest the mechanics had no idea how to fix it and Ford didn't want to know or help. Ford wouldn't even talk to me unless I rang a premium rate number!!!!
I did get some advice that the problem can be caused by diesel fuel waxing in the fuel filter, and after getting the fuel filter changed the problem might have improved for a while but to be honest I don't think it ever really fixed it. In the end, and once the car was out of warranty, I replaced it with an Audi (hopefully a more reliable make??) that runs on petrol (hopefully less to go wrong???).
The experience was very disappointing, and it was very annoying to have an unfixable car at only 30K on the clock. Buying the Focus proved to be a very costly mistake and I count myself lucky that at least I was in the fortunate position to have the cash to change to something else – but not everybody has. All in all, I've been very badly let down my Ford. The only positive thing I can say is that it was marvellous to get rid of the Focus and drive to work this week in temperatures of -8.5C without a single problem!
Best of luck.
|Arh thats crap, thought it was worth a mention just in case it worked, good luck with it.
|Hiya, nope the car is still a nightmare, especially now with this really cold weather. I had the fuel filter and it's housing replaced a couple of months ago and it made no difference, i've also had a new battery but no effect. The car will be sold when the weather clears up a bit, i've had enough of it, definitely won't be buying another diesel as mechanics seem to know nothing about them, if the computer doesn't tell them what the problem is then they're stumped. Just have to chalk this one up to experience, nice car in the summer, pile turd in the winter.
|Hi not sure if you've already fixed this but I had something similar on an old 1.8 TD Cavalier... apart from glow plug light....turned out to be the fuel filter was building up water and over time would mix with the fuel and make it cut out unless I kept the revs up at junctions, try taking it off and drainging it and if that works could always just buy a new one. hope this helps.
Well the so called fuel pump experts cant test or fix my pump because it is a siemens pump, apparently there is only one place in the country that has the necessary equipment and the cost is more than fitting a new one, which kind of doesn't make sense. The guy also said he's never heard of an idle air control valve, which either means he's not an expert or i've been reading a load of rubbish. Anyhow he reckons the idling is controlled by the ECU.
Other suggestions from friends have been, the automatic choke and possibly a crappy battery.
Are there really no suggestions from anyone here? i would really appreciate it, the fact is im not going to change the fuel pump, i'd rather put up with the problem.
I guess the potential for a huge bill has spurred me into action. I've been googling my problem and found a lot of stalling problems are caused by the idle control valve. Even some problems that don't generate an error code on the computer and cause a drop in pressure within the fuel pump.
Does anyone think this could be a possible cause for my problem?
The thing im not sure about is the loss of power i experience when im moving, does the idle control valve play any part when the car is moving along?
I guess in the interest of some other poor sucker having a similar problem i'll keep the updates.
Right, got the car back from the Ford garage. They say the fuel pump is not holding pressure when it is cold. Why? they don't know because they don't repair fuel pumps, they only replace them, so that's £1000 (That's pounds not dollars!!!!). On the plus side it only cost me £90 for the diagnosis.
So next step is to take it to a local company that specialise in fuel injector pump repairs to see if i can knock a few hundred pounds off that bill. Fingers crossed.
My guess is that it is a cracked rubber seal that shrinks when it is cold making the crack bigger and releasing the pressure and then expands when it warms up filling the crack and allowing the pump to keep the pressure up. That's my hope anyway, a nice cheap rubber seal, got to keep optimistic when you have bills that size staring you in the face.
Righty ho, just an update. Took the car to the mechanic, they had it for a week. It's been nice and cold so the engine has been cutting out for them as well. They ran some diagnostic tools on it, the onboard computer isnt coming up with any error messages even when it stalls, the fuel injectors are working fine, the only problem he found was that there were air bubbles appearing in the hose between the fuel filter and fuel pump, so he bypassed the fuel filter, the air bubbles disappeared but the car still stalled. So they ran out of ideas and gave up, but didnt charge me.
This morning was a nightmare, -5C and the car was stalling it's butt off, every junction, about 7 times in total, and I was loosing power a few times, even on the motorway doing 70mph the speedo dropped to zero as i lost power then it jumped back up as the power came back this happened 2 or 3 times, no lights went off from the dashboard as this happened. But as before, once the engine had warmed up, no problems at all. Got to work, sat in the car park with the engine idling at about 800rpm, no problems at all.
So booked it into a proper Ford garage, £85 + Vat per hour, OUCH!!!
Praying for a cheap solution.
|Ok, thanks for that, i'll try and look into it this weekend.

Generosity of Henniker waitress who paid soldiers' tab despite her own financial woes is rewarded
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | October 19. 2013 7:35PM
Henniker waitress Sarah Hoidahl, left, and the note she left for two National Guard soldiers picking up their tab in the government shutdown
Hoidahl, 22, is a single mom who lives with her mother and her 16-month-old son, Ashton, in a two-room house without a TV set. With no car, she has to bum rides to Ruby Tuesday in Concord, where she tends bar and works as a waitress.
She didn't tell her boss or even her mom what she did and didn't think any more of it.
Unbeknownst to Hoidahl, the two women told her boss what their waitress had done, and he told the New Hampshire National Guard. After the Guard posted an item about the incident on its Facebook page on Oct. 10, the media took notice, with stories appearing in newspapers all over the world.
In the five-minute spot, DeGeneres first told Hoidahl, "I'm going to pay you back," and pulled out $27.75 from a small change purse. Then the talk-show host surprised her with a 50-inch television set and a giant check for $10,000 as Hoidahl burst into happy tears.
Hoidahl's manager at Ruby Tuesday, Brian Hinckley, said the entire staff watched the show on Friday. "The whole restaurant stopped," he said. "They were all dancing and excited when they mentioned us."
Sarah's mom, Linda Hoidahl, is a nurse at New England College in Henniker. She watched the "Ellen" show on campus Friday since they didn't have a TV at home - until now, that is.
"I've always said no matter how bad things are for you, there's always somebody that has it worse, and you always need to remember that," she said.
"My mom always told me growing up, 'We may not have a lot of money but we're rich in love.'"

Amazing work!
INCREDIBLE!!! I actually like your helmet better than

Amazing work!
that bucket is smoooooothhh! Damn fine work! compliments to the chef! cookin up somethin fierce!
holy crap! thats freaking awesome!
Thank for the compliments everyone I must say I am very humbled by all of your kind words and praises. It must look good if I got the SEEKER helmet smiley face post LOL.
Hey Chris King drop me an email at home tonight and fill me in I have been meaning to add that stupid scratch above the brow since I started and I keep forgetting haha. And I hid my signature in the scratches again.
Micke:Curious. What colours did you use for the scratches? Acrylics?
A:I had more success with acrylics but I did intermix the scratches were actually enamels on this one.
Just try not to be too neat with your helmet paint as much as you can and while you're working on it it'll pick up scratches and wear and tear as you go. Also never weather the helmet in one sitting do it a little at the time. Once I have decided for sure on the rest of the colors for the suit etc. I'll post them just don't want to hand out the wrong color and everyone paints up the helmet and it's wrong. If anyone needs any help please contact me and I'll do my best.
I'm just drooling over this awesome work...TRULY AMAZING!!!
MMMMmmmmmmm nicely painted Boba bucket......droool
Damn fine work !! Damn fine!! Damn!!
Great job Lee! I've been slowly working on an ESB helmet (Sarge's) as well using the same topical style which is a first for me. I'm using your panzer green as well (thanks). The blue/green on the back and the visor red I custom mixed. I have to say, painting topically looks awesome from far away, but I don't think it looks as good close up as when I masked off the damage. Close up, it's easy to tell the damage is painted on, even after I take a scotch brite pad to it. Is this the case for anyone else?
Talk about puttin on the RITZ! Great job on the Bucket my friend!
p.s. How the hell did you get past Lucas Security when you took that?
Hol-lee sheepsheet!!! Myohmy Lee, that is freaking' incredible!! Damn, you did some incredible work!
You've set an awfully high standard my friend, awfully high!
I don't know if I can make a helmet paint job as magnificent as that, I may just settle for " a darn nice one" instead!!
Seriously, Lee that is one of the finest, if not the most accurate ESB paint jobs I've ever seen.
take care,
I haven't been around in a while. Now I come back and find this. All I can say is . . . . amazing.
Damn sweet!

To be honest when I was hired there I was told if I stole anything I would be fired so I grabbed the best thing I could heck it was worth it LOL. .
VERY impressive, Lee
, you should've grabed the whole suit! :evil
Who's to say he didn't. It is missing, after all.

I shall be suspicious if Lee starts to turn out very accurate soft parts and armour now.
I'm starting to think that I need to start over.
If everything falls into place I should have a whole suit done pretty soon.
That's one SWEET helmet RS!
One of if not the most accurate paint jobs I've seen.
Keep it up.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger's side face Schalke in the Champions League on Tuesday, so to find out more we asked tactical expert Michael Cox and journalist Raphael Honigstein for their views.
After their impressive performance in the 2-0 victory at Emirates Stadium a fortnight ago, Arsenal will be fully aware of Schalke's attacking quality. Huub Stevens's side combine a combative midfield with a pacy forward line featuring plenty of width, and the Gunners must defend much more astutely in wide positions.
Stevens might be even more attack-minded at home. The positioning of Lewis Holtby will be particularly interesting - the half-Englishman often operates closer to goal at the Veltins-Arena, and can provide a direct goal threat in addition to his creative ability from between the lines.
Schalke lost 3-2 away to Hoffenheim at the weekend, despite dominating the game - they had 73 per cent of possession, and attempted 23 shots compared to Hoffenheim's six. Clearly, Hoffenheim rode their luck, but they also demonstrated that Schalke can be vulnerable to quick counter-attacks. "The match in Hoffenheim is something we have to learn from," says Stevens, but Arsenal can also take lessons from Saturday's result.
Hoffenheim's opener came when Kevin Volland won the ball deep inside his own half and knocked the ball out to Fabian Johnson. The left-back sprinted over the halfway line, then returned the ball for Volland's fine finish. The ball travelled 80 yards in 10 seconds, via two passes, and Hoffenheim's stoppage-time winner also involved attacking the Schalke defence immediately. The holding midfield duo - likely to be Jermaine Jones and Roman Neustadter - are strong in the tackle and best avoided, while the wingers are attack-minded and can defend sloppily.
Arsenal have counter-attacked well on occasion this season, most notably away at Liverpool in a fine 2-0 victory, and a similar display might be appropriate here. Lukas Podolski, who scored the opener at Anfield, might play a crucial role with his directness from the left. He also opened the scoring both home and away against Schalke last season, although his Cologne side went on to lose those matches 4-1 and 5-1 respectively.
The way the first game went didn't surprise me and I think Arsenal could try to do to Schalke tonight what Stevens' team did to them at the Emirates.
Schalke lost at the weekend but, if anything, I would expect that setback to make them sharper. They were naïve at the weekend. They had a lot of chances and when they equalised with eight minutes to go, they all ran forward chasing a winner and got sucker-punched. They usually show a lot more maturity and I don't think Saturday's result will be much of an issue.
There's a small chance that Julian Draxler might play against Arsenal. He's an excellent player. Lewis Holtby gets a lot of plaudits but hasn't actually played consistently well throughout the season. I think Draxler is a better player in that No 10 position. He can play out wide too. He broke his wrist not long ago, but if he features will be a big player.
For Schalke, before the competition started, they would have been very happy to get out of the group. Now, with a win they could all but ensure they go through and with a serious chance of finishing top. I don't think it's so much an issue. I think both teams will be happy with a draw and try and win the group in the last two games.
I'm going to go for a 0-0.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Greenville students analyze solar panels a year after installation
A high school class at Greenville Public Schools (GPS) is gathering information generated by the school's solar panels to help prepare for the future.
Brian Sullivan, a biology and natural resources teacher at the high school, took his sixth-hour students on the roof to analyze how the solar panels work.
The panels, manufactured by United Solar Ovonic, were installed as part of the GreenERville project in October of last year.
Sullivan said the students were able to see what the panels looked like, how the panels worked and where the energy went.
Serena Reamer said she was surprised when they got to go on the roof because the solar panels were flat and not angled.
As of Friday, the panels have produced enough energy to run an average single-American home for more than 3,000 days, Sullivan said.
Sullivan said other operations have been looking to GPS for its use of solar panels. He added the students have pride and confidence because the school is becoming a leader in this type of technology.
"We are unique," he said.
A small energy plant
The solar panels produce the energy and push it back onto the grid, allowing for others in the community to be able to use it, Sullivan said describing the school as a small energy plant.
Shelby Jenks said she was impressed with how much money the school is able to make once the 13- to 15-year loan is paid off. The solar panels have been guaranteed to last about 25 years, leaving about a 10-year window for the school to be profitable.
Sullivan said GPS generates energy at 10-cents a kilowatt, while Consumers Energy buys it for 40-cents a kilowatt. This gave the school over a $65,000 credit on their bill for this year.
Megan Altizer said this kind of money is important for the school because of what it can do.
"It will pay for one teacher's salary," Altizer said. "It would save a teacher."
Michael Voorhees said the money would also do a lot of the school like purchasing computers, software, projectors and more.
Currently, Sullivan said only 10 percent of GPS's roof is covered with the solar panels, but in the future, the schools hopes to have 100 percent covered.
He added the solar panels do not generate more power than is being used it still produces energy through rain, snow and even in the dark.
"It seems to be worth it to me," Sullivan said.
Real-world applications
Through this assignment, the students are learning alternative ways to save money.
Sullivan demonstrated a solar panel that can heat water. He also came up with an idea of putting something like that in an attic where it is naturally warmer and have water run through it before entering into the water heater. This would raise the temperature of the water and would use less energy.
Logan Weber demonstrated to the class how a solar panel slow cooker works. He said it could cook anything and works off the sun's rays.
"(The students) love it," Sullivan said of the work they are doing with the solar panels. "They are able to use real-world applications and not be stuck in a chair at a desk."
Tyler Schnepp said he wished there were more classes like this.
"Hands on is better," he said. "It helps students catch on quicker."
Brenda Hilliker agreed with Schnepp and said she enjoys the fact that the students are not just watching something, they are doing it.
"I have learned a lot from the class," she said.
