What to do with your winter wardrobe…
February 1st, 2010
We take a look at what trends to dig out for spring and which should be put away for a later date.
Things to think about putting away;
- Jewel colours. Spring/summer is all about beautiful pastel shades
- Shoulder pads, we want our summer wardrobe to be a little more feminine please
- Fur coats. If recent temperatures are anything to go by, we'll be saving them for next winter too!
- Swap winter's heavy red lipstick for nude tones
- Black. We know it's a lot of people's favourite colour and we can't live without our staple items in black, but this season try brightening up your mood as well as your look with some more colourful pieces
Things to keep out/dig out;
Now the only thing left to do is to find some space in our wardrobes to squeeze our January sales bargains in there too!

Tutorial Support Services provides free peer and faculty tutoring for all RWU students. TSS is located on the 2nd floor of the Library. Students can walk in and see a peer tutor; it is advisable for students to make an appointment to see a faculty tutor. TSS consists of the following tutoring centers:
Hours of operation
Monday – Thursday 9 am – 8 pm
Friday 9 am – 3 pm
Sunday 2 pm – 8 pm
Summer 1 Tutoring Available!
Please see attached schedule. Contact Tutorial Support Services at 401-254-3219 or come up to the second floor of the Library with any questions. Please understand that students' summer schedules are subject to occasional revision.
What will the tutors help me with when I go for tutoring?
We'll use the Writing Center as an example to answer this question. The writing tutors are trained to help students become better writers. Tutors will help students with proofreading and editing strategies, but students must proofread and edit their own papers. Students can come in for help at any point during the writing process: brainstorming, organizing, overcoming writer's block, revising and/or formatting. The tutor will ask the student non-directive questions and engage in conversation about the paper. Tutors will help with grammar as it appears in the context of the paper; so, if the tutor notices, for example, that the student has used "you" as a pronoun, the tutors will talk about the effect of that pronoun choice in a formal paper. This philosophy of engaging the student in a conversation about the content is consistent in the math and science tutoring centers, as well.
How are the peer tutors selected and trained?
The peer tutors are students who have excelled in the subject(s) for which they tutor. Most often, an instructor makes a recommendation to one of the Tutoring Coordinators for the Math, Writing, and Science Centers. Some students who did exceptionally well in a class and have a desire to help other students will take the initiative to come in and ask if they could be considered for a tutoring position. Finally, the Tutoring Coordinators hire some freshmen who demonstrated superior strength in math or writing during their high school years.
The tutors receive extensive training both in the content area for which they tutor and in the fundamentals of tutoring. While much of the training is managed by the Tutoring Coordinators, many of the veteran tutors are also engaged in facilitating training.
Why do students go for tutoring?
Many studies have proven that students learn best through collaboration with their peers as well as with faculty. Thus, while students might work through a draft of a paper on their own, it is often invaluable to be able to test out an organizational strategy or the development of an idea on a real audience before submitting the paper. Likewise, if you are struggling with a particular math concept, you might find some relief from that frustration after working with a peer who is able to relate to what you find difficult. Often, because the peer tutors are students themselves, they have experienced similar situations, either in their own coursework or in tutoring sessions, and they have developed strategies for approaching a particular kind of math equation, a chemistry problem set, or an organizational dilemma in a paper.
What is most important to keep in mind about tutoring?

I love rhubarb. As a kid growing up, we had a large bed of rhubarb and asparagus.
I have tried growing rhubarb three times but I think last year was the most successful and despite the cold winter temperature, all four plants came up and I have cut enough to fix the Strawberry Rhubarb pie. Yum! It was quite the hit at the Derby Party along with Coconut Cream Pie and Bourbon Pecan Pie.
I now have the rhubarb planted between my hydrangea and Stella d' Oro lily. They are on the side of the garage that gets morning sun but in the afternoon they are in the shade.
My Mom made rhubarb pies but most often she just put it in a saucepan with some water and sugar and she would boil it until very tender. We ate it as a side dish, served like applesauce.
If you don't have your own rhubarb, you can get it at local groceries while it is in season.
A food fact most people don't know: Rhubarb is a vegetable, not a fruit.
Rhubarb Custard Bars
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cold butter
2 cups sugar
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 eggs, beaten
5 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed and drained
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
In a bowl, combine the flour and sugar; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a greased 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for filling, combine sugar and flour in a bowl. Whisk in cream and eggs. Stir in the rhubarb. Pour over crust. Bake the bars at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until custard is set. Cool.
For topping, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth; fold in whipped cream. Spread over top. Cover and chill. Cut into bars.
Store the bars in the refrigerator. Yield: 3 dozen

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
1 unbaked double pie crust
2 ½ cup rhubarb, sliced in ½ "slices
2 ½ cup hulled and sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour OR ¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces
1 large egg yolk, beaten to blend with 1 teaspoon water
Prepare the bottom crust by rolling out to an 11-inch circle. Nestle the crust inside the pan so about an inch hangs over the sides.
Mix the fruit with sugar and flour, pour lemon juice over top. Place all the fruit in the bottom pastry crust. Use the other half of dough to put on a top crust or lattice strips. Moisten the rim of bottom crust with water and then press on the top or strips, fold edges under to crimp or trim and press with fork tines. Brush the egg glaze over the top crust or strips. Cut steam vents in solid crust on top. Transfer the pie plate to a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees for another 30 minutes longer or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from oven and allow it to cool on a rack before serving.

1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 tablespoon beaten egg
1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
3 to 4-1/2 teaspoons cold water
3 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb

Dash salt
3 egg yolks
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 teaspoons plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar; cut in shortening until crumbly. Combine egg and vinegar; sprinkle over crumb mixture. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry to fit in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate; flute edges.
Place rhubarb in crust. Whisk the sugar, flour, salt, egg yolks and cream; pour over rhubarb. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
In a small saucepan, combine 4 teaspoons sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Add cornstarch mixture; beat on high until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
Spread evenly over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Bake the pie for 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Store it in the refrigerator. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

Dumbasses In Mainstream Media
posted at 5:53 pm on February 12, 2013 by Duane Patterson
The Christopher Dorner manhunt shifted into high gear this afternoon as the fugitive was spotted and engaged in a gunfight with deputies and other law enforcement on Bear Mountain in Southern California. KCBS/KCAL, two sister stations that share reporters and resources, decided to go with the editorial decision to broadcast live from the scene, instead of using the standard delay.
One of their reporters was on a cell phone while the shooting began, and after a few F bombs hurled his way, the reporter got the hint that law enforcement was requesting in the strongest possible way that for his own safety, perhaps he could relocate with all haste to a vantage point that might not get him killed in the crossfire. As a media person myself, I noticed that ten seconds of running the feed through a delay was not going to deprive the viewing public of learning what was going on in the story, and there really is no good reason not to use the delay.
But after that call, about 30 minutes later, the mistake was compounded by whoever isn't directing the ongoing news story, when the anchor broke into the phone call of the same reporter on site to bring you this important piece of information:
For those of you who wonder why radio shows screen phone calls, or at least try to, this would be why. KCAL, next time, hit the delay and count to ten, and then tell us what you want to tell us. No one's going to care who was first by how many seconds when the story is over, and you won't look anywhere as foolish. And you won't owe the feds quite so much in fines.

Thanks for the great compliments guys.Ashaman said:
Ashaman. those are Clonesix's armor. You can't buy that armor. I think he only provides that armor to his close friends.
Aw man that's too bad. Really great craftsmanship though. Although maybe I should just concentrate on working on my Boba the Jango costumes first before I bite off more than I can chew.SEEKER said:

On a different note, are those Riddel helmets in your sig? The Stormtrooper ones don't look like the ones I've been seeing on the net (ROTJ version). They look more like the Stunt helmets from ANH....and they look great.
Those helmets on my signature are the life size helmets.

Personal preference. I carry a full sized gun with no problem. I'm 5'8" and can conceal a 1911 or a HKUSP or a Glock 32 or a (insert almost any large framed pistol). It's all about having the right equipment.
-Inside the Waist band holsters can hide a whole lot of gun.
-Larger guns are easier to shoot for the vast majority of folks.
-They have a much larger capacity than mouse guns. (ever watch someone do a mag change under duress that hasn't practiced it before?)
-Shorter, smaller guns require more attention to detail due to the shorter throw of the slide. (shooting at the range will not be the same as in a self defense situation)
-Relying on the encounter to be close to you is a baaaaaad idea. (trust me, first hand experience)
-Pocket carry (assuming here that is what you are doing) is not very efficient unless you keep your hand in your pocket and on the gun.
These are just a few things I've noticed over the past 16 years of carrying a gun on a daily basis. Mileage may vary for some folks, but pigeon holing someone to one firearm because that's what they use is not really the best idea. Guns are a very personal item. There are brands that are better than others, but which model of those brands someone carries greatly depends on its intended use, fit, feel, function and lots and lots of practice.
Your friend may be very well versed and trust worthy, but I'll bet that his opinions are based on his preferences. Unless you are similar in background, height, weight, dress, job, location, vehicle, fitness....well, then it may not be the best preferences for you.
Keep an open mind, and stay safe.

I threw this together last night.
One large Canada breast cut into 4 steaks.
Open Jamesons whisky. pour yourself some. imbibe as needed.
Marinate breasts for 1 hr at RT in
-Teriyaki sauce
- fresh pressed garlic (2 cloves)
- onion powder
- fresh coarse ground black pepper
- fresh grated ginger
-liquid smoke
- dash of Jamesons whisky (it was an impulse)
PS: I never measure anything so don't ask me "how much" of any ingredient. Use your judgement and experience.
light grill and have some more Jamesons, sit outdoors and watch sun set.
grill over medium heat until just done, juices begin to run clear, or just pink in the center.
As with all fowl do not cook to oblivion.
Enjoy with favourite sides, more whisky or an old vine zinfandel or merlot.
The old familiar "liver taste" was not present. my wife loved it. it was absolutely splendid!
Tally ho!

Crazy electrical gremlin - car sometimes totally dead, until shaken or door slammed
My electrical gremlin started about a year ago with the hazard lights blinking when starting the car. Not every time, but a lot of the time. They would just come on - even though button was not depressed on the center console. Another thing that was also happening was that when the car got turned on, we'd have to enter the radio code to make it work. Just as if there had been a disconnection of power - but there had not been. This was like the hazard lights - periodic and random. Often enough to be annoying, but since the car was old and putting in the code worked, we just dealt with it.
Working with my independent BMW guy we finally decided that the hazard lights were acting like the alarm was actually being tripped, but in silent mode - thus the flashing lights. I finally just completely removed the BMW alarm box from under the rear seat - fully disconnected and put it away. We never activated it anyway since the key fobs wouldn't control the locks anymore. We'd reset the thing, the locks would work a while, then it would stop again. So I just pulled the entire alarm module to remove it as a source of potential problem.
Sometime around then I replaced the ignition switch with a brand new part from Bav Auto (part 61 32 8 356 026 Ignition Switch 1995 525i). That went off fine and it has worked great ever since.
For a while the hazard gremlin went away and I thought we'd fixed it with the removal of the alarm module. The code thing on the radio stopped as well. But over the summer the hazard light thing started happening again, but very rarely. One day the BMW guy wrote me and said he figured out what it must be - the fusible link. So one time while I had it there getting an oil change he replaced it -said the old one was definitely in bad shape.
After the replacement, all was well - UNTIL (you knew it was coming since I'm writing in the forum) the car just started dying! crap! Well, more accurate, wouldn't come on - already dead. We'd drive somewhere - everything working perfectly. Go to get back in - 10 mins later, hour later - usually shorter times - and NOTHING. Not like a dead battery (which is also new in the last year), but as if NO battery. Turn the key and NOTHING happens - no lights, no blinking, no dings, no nothing! After waiting a few minutes, opening/closing a door, shaking the car, whatever we've (so far) always been able to get it to start.
Of all days, it happened today when my wife had our son out to the store to get him some medicine (woke up with bad cold!). She first tried a hard slam of the door -nothing. Then she shook the passenger side of the car - and the hazards lights came on (no keys in!). She did some more moving around after waiting 10 or so minutes, and it started. She was able to drive home like normal.
It sounds like the guy in this post has (at least) one of the exact same problems as me:
BUT, the response doesn't help me (I don't think) since I've removed the alarm module.
If ANYONE can offer any solid advice, I'd sure love it. We were hoping to drive this car until the transmission went (have 226,000+ on it!). I'd hate to have to replace it b/c of this crazy electrical gremlin. And replace it we would since it's my wife's main car. Our old Saturn seems to have died, so I can no longer drive that to work. Having to drive my working truck. What a pain!
Well, the first thing you'll need to do is to download the Bentley manual. Please google for the links.
The second thing to do is to understand that this problem is probably going to take a long long time for you to fix because you'll have to trace wires everywhere and you'll need to test for shorts at different points until you find the culprit. I worked with a fellow member on this and it took us a long time and some luck to finally fix the problem. Much of the wiring's insulation could be frayed, be in hidden places, and could be shorting to ground or something else all over the place.
The easiest things to do when it comes to a problem like this is to check the simplest things and hope that you find the problem there. I mean, recheck your fusible link, recheck your battery, and recheck that the battery's terminals are properly tightened, etc.
The most important thing is to approach the problem with a beginner's mind of pure observation. This enables you to simply look and see without any mental stress....there have been many times when I've walked away from a problem, come back, and noticed something that I was missing very quickly. Your mark2 eyeballs, when unfettered truly perform yeoman service. Look at EVERYTHING. You will at the very least notice other unrelated stuff that is relevant to your car. its less of a case of 'seek and ye shall find' and more of a case of 'look and ye shall see'.
A cold one and plenty of time certainly helps with maintaining a beginner's mind.
Electrical problems can be difficult to sort out but they are not all that common with our model, so take heart that its probably something that you can find easily.
Your description certainly sounds like a loose wire somewhere, or something shorting to ground that gets moved to an unshorted position when the car is shaken.
You don't sound like you have the usual no-start issues involving the fuel pump, its relay, and the crankshaft position sensor. You should in any case change these out to new oem ones, if you intend to keep the car for the long term. There is more than way that the car can play dead, which you will realise if you read through the archives.
That being said.....check your cps's resistances right away. It should be 540ohms +- 5% if memory serves me right. The Bentley manual, if you download the unedited version, quotes exactly double what it should be...this is a well known printing error. Your symptoms could be a failing sensor.

You sound to have a permanent power problem. Work first with ALL battery cables, joints, junctions, terminals and earth points. As slamming the doors solves it I would also check ALL dash plugs cables and earths. Electronics either work or fail. Electrics can come and go. BTW the crappy electrics often lead to premature electronic failures.

I've just changed my wiper blades and now my reverse lights don't work. Should I change my fuel pump relay?
If that's not what you mean, please clarify. I did find the manual.
Oh, the guy who normally works on my car has sort of already done a lot of searching and checking on this problem. I haven't left it with him for weeks to trace any electrical shorts or anything b/c that won't work - and would be prohibitively expensive. But he knows the problem well.

You'll only need to remove your rear seats. That's pretty easy, just hold their front ends and yank upwards (there are probably videos and detailed descriptions on youtube and google).
You'll see your battery and your fusible links when the rear seat is off.
You won't be able to sell this car and live in peace. The new owner will call and curse you like blazers within a week. If you declare this upfront, you'll get peanuts for the car. Your only choice is to fix this problem.
The dashboard probably does not need to be removed.
If FF is correct (and he usually is), you'll need to start by tracing the main cables from the battery all the way to the front of the car. They should run by the right side under the floor carpetting, and through the wire cavity located under your glove compartment on through to your ecu (that's in the black box at the right windshield corner of the engine bay). Perhaps the main wires run along the right side of the car and through the firewall cavity under the steering wheel's panel. It can be found by tracing it through and others here will be able to guide you precisely (I've not done this myself but have read about it so can't remember where it all is).
You'll need to check your battery's connections. Clean the terminals using low grit sandpaper, apply dielectric grease, and reclamp them. Look at everything. Let the problem become clear to you. That's how it feels you use the beginner's mind with such issues. It won't feel like you 'figured it out', but just spotted something that was there. This stressless approach enables you to find problems, conceptualise solutions, and implement them competently and usually in good time.
That fusible link needs to be rechecked. Any main wires that appear to have frayed insulation needs to be retaped.
This will take some time. Its a good idea to do this with a buddy.
Its also a good idea to take this to a car electrician, or farm this out to some highschool kid wanting to make some extra money for fun and who is taking basic electronics and electricals in school.
The car's basic electricals for power are not difficult for someone who is familiar with electricals. Its just a little time consuming. Youtube will have videos on this stuff too.
It could be as simple as a loose connection. It happens all the time....reminds me of the time I first came to the fest. I had a problem with braking and with my transmission. The solution for the transmission turned out to be low fluid - suggested by members here. The solution for the poor braking...turning out to be an improperly tightened brake vacuum hose ! This had been messed up be a mechanic. So human errors can contribute to seemingly big problems. Emphasis is on the word seemingly.
Start with the battery under your rear seats.

I glanced over the website and looked at the forums. This does not seem like a bad game. But a few answered questions could help me out just a bit.
1. Is this game heavily cash shop based?
2. Is there a decent sized community?
3. Not really a question, but any feedback about your pros and cons of the game would be nice.

Re: Soulmates
Ooooo! It's looking like this week has a LOTR theme based on today's shirt. I think "Soulmates" would be an excellent way to finish! Still has my vote!
A spray painted stencil of a skeleton holding a scythe.
Hopefully, Woot won't reject this for being glow in the dark. I kept the design clean and simple and used only two inks (white and glow in the dark white), so hopefully that will pass muster.
Thanks for taking a look!
Can you find the hidden S?

xazothia wrote:I'm just surprised that nobody has mentioned that "spastic" is considered an offensive term in the UK...
As a UK resident I agree... Spastic is a very offensive word... To a British ear, it's one of the most taboo insults.
The current understanding of the word is well-illustrated by a BBC survey in 2003, which found that "spastic" was the second most offensive term in the UK relating to disability
Obviously the word has a different use and understanding in the US, this came to light when Tiger Woods said it live on UK TV about his performance which drew large shock and horror from many UK residents.
The UK and USA are seperated by a common language...
Re: Stencil Skeleton
I'm not sure what Woot will do with this - they're fickle. But I have to wonder why the big disconnect between the parts of the skeleton? It's a floating head, partial arms and the scythe - the rest is ??? You may have envisioned that the shirt color was also a robe or something, but that's not apparent from the design. Especially once you get to the GITD part and the stencil overspray outlines. Hmmm... I might have done the whole skeleton, or outlined the robe so it was visible, then made the scythe the GITD surprise; or maybe outline an empty robe (I know, boring day shirt) then had the skull, ands and scythe in GITD... I dunno!
That's twisted. Cool!
This is your field Chris, Its a perfect composition, and very wearable!
love it!

I dig cheap sunglasses. I used to buy counterfeit Oakley jackets for five bucks in Midtown until I feared they were burning out my retinas. And I started fishing heavily.
On the water switching from regular (street-legal) polarized to Costa 580 lenses rocked my world. I have two pair and the frames don't fit me right but I don't care because they give me HD X-Ray vision.
I don't wear my HD shades on the street anymore. They are susceptible to the indelicate hands of my two young children, who like to grab them bend them smudge them and, in the younger's case, use them as a teething biscuit.
For that reason alone I hit the Walgreen's circular-spinning sunglass rack and found a bitchin pair of polarized Foster Grants. My long-term evaluation sizes up the pros and cons of dime-store shades.

Hello everyone, new member here and wanted to take a moment to say "Hello!". About a decade ago I got the urge to create a Boba Fett costume for myself, but I didn't get very far due to a lack of time and money. Back then the resources available weren't as plentiful as they are now, which added to me abandoning the project.
Over the years the urge would return, but I was still never able to get it done. A couple years ago I was going through some boxes and threw out what I had done so far because I told myself I'd never be able to do it. Last summer the urge returned again, I had more time and money available to me than when I first started the project, but I decided to hold off incase the urge passed. It was about that time that I stumbled across this site. The desire for my own Boba Fett has yet to go away.
I've been trolling The Dented Helmet on and off since I found it and am amazed at the wealth of knowledge here. I've decided to pick up the project again, but this time the lack of resources isn't going to be a problem. I think the opposite is going to be a problem. There's so much information here that I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm not sure where to start. You guys (and gals) are amazing!

I recently purchased and received a BooBoo Fett (BBF) SE Ammo Belt (serial number 0003) and was totally blown away by the workmanship and quality of materials. About two months ago, I upgraded to the Taco ROTJ belt (most recent run), but when I saw to pics of Terry's belt, I thought "I really need to check that belt out." My main motivation was to change from an ROTJ to an ROTJ SE ammo belt. When you are 6' 3" and have a 40" waist, the extra pouches on the SE version (12 count) allow the pouches to wrap around your waist whereas the ROTJ version (8 count) tends to look like a change purse for us XL folks. You really skinny people don't have to worry about this.
The BBF belt is a Ferrari. The pictures of the BBF are amazing, but the feel of the belt is what really gets you going. The first thing I noticed when I took the BBF belt out of the box was the weight. It feels heavy in a good way. All you alpha males (yes, that includes me) that love the MR blaster because of the weight and the way it feels; you don't need to read any further, just order a belt today. It's right up your ally. The actual belt is HEAVY duty solid leather strapping. Go to the store, look for the thickest belt you can find and know that the BBF belt will be at least that thick.
The next thing I noticed that was different about the BBF belt was the pouches were all functional and extremely rigid. Due to the thickness of the leather, the pouches require no support material to help then maintain there shape. For belts with non-functional pouches, they have wooden blocks or other materials that give the pouches their shape, but not the BBF belt. Concealed rivots and thick leather are used to form the pouches while allowing them to be functional. Let me say that again, stitches, rivots, and solid thick leather. These are not glued together around a forming material. The belt has that feel of something that is rugged and built for abuse, as opposed to that costume prop feel. You feel like you could go hunting in one of these belts without damaging it. Additionally, the leather coloring has a very deep, rich look. A noticeable difference from other belts (I got the weathered version).
Finally, the attention to detail is remarkable. I noticed that a couple of the pouch flaps were slightly shorter than the adjacent pouch flap creating a slightly uneven and non-uniform look. I pulled up the reference photo and sure enough that is the exact look on the exact pouch position. I nearly fell out of my chair on that one. Could be a savant. Weathering is similarly accurate. Another thing I loved, similar to many top parts makers, was the branding. The inside of each pouch has the "BBF" logo impressed into the leather. Belt will have a serial number impressed which for whatever reason, I think is really cool.
And last but not least, the customer service and production speed were unparalleled. I received my belt in a week and ahead of the commitment. I did not know Terry from Adam, but similar to many of the top parts makers on TDH, I always felt like I was getting special treatment.
I suspect that for many, the price may be an issue. When your belt arrives, you will know where your money was spent. It all went into the materials and craftsmanship. This is high end stuff that I put in the same category as BM, FP, WB. You get what you pay for. This belt will last forever.

The Canisius College hockey team opened the 2013-14 campaign with a dominating 7-1 exhibition victory over Brock University on Sunday afternoon.
"Our puck movement was excellent most of the game today and it led to a good team attack and good team speed," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "Our depth was also key as everybody did a good job of getting involved and contributing to the win."
Sophomore Ralph Cuddemi led the Griffs with four goals on the afternoon. Seniors Ryan Bohrer and Kyle Gibbons and junior Cody Freeman each added a tally for Canisius.
All three Griff goaltenders also saw action in the win. Senior Tony Capobianco posted four saves in the start with junior Keegan Asmundson stopping seven shots and sophomore Adam Harris posting eight saves.
The team's leading scorer from a year ago, Gibbons picked up right where he left off last season by scoring the game's first goal. On a 3-on-2 rush, senior Patrick Sullivan found his classmate open to his left and Gibbons finished with an open look with 2:51 left in the first.
Cuddemi then tallied a natural hat trick in the second frame to blow the game open. The sophomore scored his first goal with 10:31 left in the period, scoring on a wrist shot on a 2-on-1 break for the 2-0 lead. Cuddemi then added his second goal just 2:10 later, beating the Badgers goaltender five-hole from the slot while on a power play. Finally, the sophomore completed his hat trick 2:51 later when he finished another 2-on-1 rush for a 4-0 Canisius lead.
Overall, Cuddemi scored three goals in 5:01 to turn a 1-0 Canisius lead into a 4-0 advantage.
Bohrer finished the scoring in the second frame when he tipped a shot in from sophomore defender Chris Rumble. The goal with 2:29 remaining in the period gave the Griffs a 5-0 lead and marked Rumble's third assist of the game.
Freeman continued the Griffs' domination in the third period, scoring just 18 seconds into the frame on the power play. The junior snuck the puck past the Badgers goalkeeper near post for the 6-0 advantage.
Cuddemi then finished the scoring for the Griffs with his fourth tally of the day. With a two-man advantage on a power play, Cuddemi sent a wrist shot into the back of the net for a 7-0 lead.
The Badgers finally got on the scoreboard with 8:07 remaining in the third when Thomas Stajan netted a goal but it was too late as the Griffs earned the 7-1 victory.
Canisius finished the game with a 39-20 advantage in shots, which included a 22-7 advantage in the second period. The Griffs also converted 3-of-6 power plays, while killing all three Badger extra-man advantages.
The Griffs open the regular season and the defense of their 2013 Atlantic Hockey Championship on Saturday with a contest at rival Niagara. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. in Lewiston, N.Y.

Hi guys,
I'm Rob. I'm living in South-Central Pennsylvania, US.
Not a great place, but nice enough where I can get some peace and quiet.
I just recently was at a teaching with Jack Kornfield -- GREAT Teacher! -- and Stanislav Grof. It was one of the famous Insight and Opening retreats at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. Anyway, his instruction led me to question my practice a lot. I'm currently practicing Tibetan Buddhism -- working on my ngondro. I feel as though I was really getting lost in idealism, and Jack brought me back to the earth. Since the retreat I've been practicing breath-mindfulness, and feel more in contact with what is really going on inside.
I've been questioning my intentions quite a bit, and find myself at a cornerstone of my practicing-life. Should I continue on the path of Vipassana, Tibetan Buddhism, or both.
So, anyway, here I am -- exploring. Seeing what's going on.
Lots of love, folks,

Maybe I need a new spring, but after several cases of shells my M2 started having issues cycling the third round. I would estimate I've put 6 cases or so through it in the last 5 years. The 3rd shell ends up somewhat still in the mag and jammed against the carrier. It happened for the first time this weekend, and about 5 times in 30 rounds or so. I have never had any issues until now beyond it not cycling once a couple years ago in cold weather, but it was oiled too heavy then.
For what its worth I have been shooting 3" 1 1/8 oz loads.
Any thoughts?

Feeding raw is not as expensive as one may think, but it can be rather time consuming to find the bargains! I pay less for my 5 year old female's raw diet then I would for the quality kibble she would need due to her allergies.
A great book for anyone looking to feed any sort of partial/complete raw diet is Give Your Dog a Bone by Dr Billinghurst. It is an awesome guide to the basics of a raw diet.
|I've had the same issues with regard to the cost of kibble! I've been feeding Innova, and have found that pretty much all of the 'decent quality' kibble is near the same price. I did read that Purina Pro-Plan is about the same quality wise (I haven't looked up the ingredients yet for myself, though), and I'd expect a lot cheaper. I know the dogs I grew up with were fed Purina and the like. I don't know if those foods have gotten a lot worse content wise or if we're just more concerned now about what we're feeding. The dog I had as a kid was fed Purina dog chow and lived to the age of 14 without any real illnesses. I'm feeding Grim the most expensive dog food I've ever bought, and sometimes it does put a real strain on the wallet! I looked at some raw diets, and I really don't think we could afford to feed raw. We limit our own meats due to the cost.
A Place for Paws - Columbiana, Ohio - Reference Articles
Welcome to the Raw Dog Ranch
My Pet Carnivore | Raw dog, cat, and pet food including: tripe, beef, bones, chicken, duck, rabbit, turkey
Carnivore Carry Out - SE MID MICHIGAN RAW DIET CO-OP FOR DOGS & CATS
|Do you recommend any websites with good raw diet plans? I have yet to find anything specific--just forums and questions.
When training use good high value treats that can be eaten quickly. I use natural balance rolls cut in pea sized portions for training. I do feed raw, not kibble. If I fed kibble, I may use kibble for tracking/training. I've used cat food for that with no problems. I am using right now bil-jac frozen food for tracking/training because my dog absolutely loves it, but it isn't the best or even good. Though one bag had green tripe as the first ingredient, so I wonder how consistent the quality is?
As far as kibble, I'm not real versed on price/brands but do know that the Fromm company is family based and not Diamond related so all good! And your location may have a local manufacturer that produces quality kibble at a good price.
Table foods are fine, IMO....I wouldn't want to eat the same thing over and over and if your pup can tolerate different proteins it is best. But limit the fat always, that can cause pancreatitis as it hits hard and fast.
|Am I safe to stick with the kibble and healthy treats on occasion or as supplements (eggs, good meat, yogurt)? As a kid, our dogs were never given special food, low-grade grocery store brands (pedigree, Purina, etc.) but not the bargain brands. That combined with table food has always given healthy results. The Fromm is expensive (almost $2 a pound!!) but if that is what he needs to be healthy, that's what he will get. If there is a more budget friendly, healthy alternative, that's great too! He isn't too picky so far!
He may be fine...but most dogs can't handle too much fat so be prepared to clean up pudding poop. If he does have digestive issues, slippery elm bark(human grade from grocery holistic herb pharmacy section) helps heal the gut. Mix a capsule with some plain yogurt before you feed him.
If he doesn't get sick, that shows he may not be sensitive to food, all good!
Remember over feeding can cause runny poop too...so smaller more frequent meals is recommended for pups.
|He is between 3 and 4 months. Thanks for the advice. I feel bad now for giving him something to make him sick.
How old is your puppy? I would be a bit concerned that his digestive system may get out of whack when you are mixing what you just posted.
I never give liquid fat(pancreatitis) and always give bone to balance the organ and meat when I feed a raw meal.
Of course he'll eat it, yummy!
But he won't feel very good for the next several hours.
Either research the raw diet and how to balance it, and feed it exclusively or stay with the Fromm.
That is a pretty good kibble and no reason to add toppings.
You may end up with a picky pup if you have to top it. I'd rather do a cooked scrambled egg instead of organ meat as it is easily digested.
Can I mix RAW with kibble
I have read some comments that it is not wise to mix raw food and kibble. The RAW diet is appealing to me, but the availability of meat is limited. We live in a relatively small town and Wal-Mart is the only place to get meat.
Ideally, I would like to mix the kibble and raw, though not necessarily at the same time.
Tonight, I mixed the following tonight: (total of apx 8-10 oz)
Fromm puppy kibble
apx 2 oz chicken gizzard and heart mix
apx 2 oz pork spare rib (bone removed)
(pork and gizzard heart mix was chopped in the ninja)
a drizzle of ground beef liquid fat
All ingredients were mixed thoroughly.
He ate almost the entire bowl. I haven't measured exactly, but he has eaten approximately 3 cups of food today, mostly kibble, and a slice of Quiznos prime rib. (He loves to ride with me on errands and is spoiled to getting small treats if I stop for food.)
I want him to be happy and helathy, smart and strong and live a long full life. Although I am not concerned with making him a "health nut" pup. He is my companion and though we will have him formally trained, his only real job is to love his people.

Well, I guess you got the idea
Here in California the cost of keeping a boat is so high it makes the purchase price almost irrelevant. In my marina a 30' slip is $503 a month, $6000 a year, a $25,000 boat loan is $200/month, $1200 a year. So $4000 from you and $25000 loan you buy a $29,000 boat that is ready to sail without major expenses. It's $1200 mostly tax deductable dollars a year more, tricky math, I know.
Anyway, remember your prime objective is to go sailing, not learn to "fix" sailboats.
Like women, houses, and cars if it takes all your money and time every month you are going to get tired of it before too many years pass.
I was on a prolonged boat hunt recently for my 'forever' boat.
Make up a checklist with space to make notes and take a digital camera. Photograph everything and write up negative points in as much detail as you can.
I used Casey's book to help me pre survey boats. I did pay for my boat to be surveyed as it had some issues I felt needed a professional opinion.
Here are a couple of boats in your area:
C&C - I like these boats. My first boat was a C&C. They are well built and REALLY fun to sail. It has a tiller but does have an inboard. If the condition is as good as it looks, it could be a real deal. I would suspect you could get it for around $5500-6000.
Hunter - Good boats. I personally don't like the look of the new traveler arches but do like there function. This one looks to be in OK condition but you have to go inspect it to really tell. Wheel and diesel but hankon jib.
Another C&C - This one has it all. Wheel, diesel, roller furler, etc. but might be too much for budget.
Bayfield - Really nice solid boats. They have a tiller but hits on every thing else. This is heavier then the others and would be more of a cruiser then racer/cruiser.
Tartan - One of my favorite all time boats. The Tartan story, the boat itself, everything. Great sailing and solid. Cheap but may need some significant work. Might be worth the $400 to have a surveyor look it over if you like it just to make sure there isn't anything real major.
Irwin - Looks OK and it is cheap. You might have to put a lot of work into something like this or the Tartan.
I think your budget is OK for a first boat but you will need to put in some work at that cost. My first boat was $3,500. It was great to get us on the water and make sure that we really liked sailing as a couple. Then we jumped to a much more expensive boat.
The key is have fun, look at a lot of boats to see what you think you want. As others have said, don't fall in love with any particular boat for the first one.
Good luck in your search.
|Sounds like you've got the right idea, dg. Just try not to fall in love with a boat until after you've got it, if possible.
Don't get discouraged, it is possible to find a good boat for a reasonable price.
Travlineasy/Gary, a regular here, sold his Catalina 27 for $5k this past winter. I don't know if it had any fancy bells and whistles but ducks to dollars the chainplates, keel bolts, decks etc were solid.
Fantasic advice from everyone. I'd read a smattering of buying a boat posts, but this gives me particular perspectives on the hazards. I've done some fiberglass repair on Optis and have seen how brittle things get when soaking up the water for a season.
The "O ring" comment was hilarious. Perspective through humor... nice.
That inspection tip list is great. I'll read up on how to do my own survey so-to-speak so I can employ a professional when it comes down to a purchase. I looked at 30-35 cars of the same make and model before buying my current car, and want to do the same before getting into a boat. This gives me plenty to go on. Thanks!!!
It takes as much experience to survey a $5,000 boat as it does to survey a $50,000 boat. And a $5,000 boat very likely has more issues to find than the more expensive boat. Any repair on any boat is done at today's prices. A 10k deck repair on a 100k boat isn't too hard to handle but the same 10k repair on a boat you paid 5k for is a different story. This applies to any boat, whether a chevrolet like an O'day, Hunter, or Catalina or a mercedes like a Hinckley, Morris, or Swan. They all deteriorate if not maintained properly and the repair of a wet deck on a Catalina costs the same as on a Swan.
Sailingdog's boat inspection tips here http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-r...ection-tripare a good start, not to replace a survey but to decide if the boat is worth surveying. The more boats you look at the more you will learn and the better equipped you will be to decide. Generally you do get what you pay for - the bargain boat often isn't a bargain at all.
dg, if you hunt around there are many older threads on the perennial question of whether an old boat is a treasure trove or a hole in the water. If you don't know boats, and don't know someone (who you'd trust intimately) who knows about boats, you want to hire a surveyor.
If the NASA "employee" is the guy who messed up the o-rings on the shuttle, you don't want the boat. If he's a cafeteria clerk, harder to say. If he's an obsevvie engineer who kept maintenance logs and receipts, that's better prospects for a good boat.
The problem is that if you don't know boats, you have no idea how expensive a rotted deck can be, or "just a waterstain" on the bulkhead, or a little corrosion on the chainplates, or a couple of bad keel bolts. How bad? Well, you can sink $20,000 into a $5,000 bargain boat that could have been bought outright for $15,000. And you can't just walk away from a bad boat--you've got a rather large disposal fee to get it hauled away and scrapped.
It's a funny thing, but aside from the few almost mythological deals ("The divorce says I have to sell the boat and split it, but I want to screw my ex so I'm selling it for ten cents on the dollar") it is still most likely that if a stranger is selling you a boat for $5,000, the boat MIGHT be worth what they are asking for it. But if it was worth four times as much--they'd have no trouble selling it for $20,000.
Don Casey authored a good little book, "Inspecting an Aging Sailboat" published by International Marine and sold everywhere for about $15.00. He uses a lot of illustrations sort of anticipating that you may not have absolute knowledge of arcane sailorisms. With just a modicum of mechanical and technical skills you can use it to guide you through a "survey" surely as good as one you will get for a few hundred dollars. If you can find an experienced sailor who does his own maintenance to assist, you can elimnate most of the risk in buying an older inexpensive sailboat. With book in hand build a spreadsheet of every thing you inspect and annotate repairs or replacement costs and by the end of the process you have a pretty good handle on the costs to have a safely operating vessel. Then if you look at several boats and document each you have good cost comparisons when that beauty steals your heart and the sirene call obliterates your rationality.
Have fun looking. There are a lot of boats available so choose wisely.
ps. Remember boat is an acronym for Break Out Another Thousand.
The sticky thread mentioned above would be a great place to start regardless of the cost of the boat. I used it to evaluate my own boat, a bit sobering really. Don't get me wrong she is solid and sound but the list of things to do didn't get any smaller after the exercise was done
With that said, lets assume you buy a 4000$ boat and spend 800$ on a survey. It seems high at first glance, almost 1/4 the cost of purchase price. But, purchase price is just the beginning. My 26 footer costs me about 2800-3000$ a year just to own, never mind any repairs or improvements. Add to the equation that it is a lot easier to buy a boat then it is to sell one, I would say a survey from a competent surveyor is a must.
If you are thinking of purchasing a 3-6000$ boat, good for you, there are plenty of them out there. But get a survey before you lay your money down. Surveyor's have no skin in the game and can give you a more realistic view point of said boat while you are ignoring the faults and dreaming about the possibilities.

Very Young Composers Program encourages budding musicians
July 24, 2012
VAIL – The Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival is teaching young musicians this summer with the fifth consecutive year of the Very Young Composers Program. The program offers children ages 9 through 12 the opportunity to study the art of music composition through stories, picture scores, music technology and collaboration with professional musicians.
Very Young Composers, a partnership between the New York Philharmonic and the Bravo Festival, is sponsored by the Joyce and Bernard West family, whose son, Ben West, has been involved with the program since its inception. West, along with another young composer of the program, was chosen to create compositions for Yo-Yo Ma, which was played during a concert at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in 2010.
"It is truly an enriching experience for these young musicians and composers," said Liz Campbell, Bravo's director of education.
In 1995, Very Young Composers was developed by Associate Principle Bassist, Jon Deak of the New York Philharmonic to answer the question, "What is children's music?" Deak gathered teaching artists and public school children who had a very limited background in music to create their own compositions for the New York Philharmonic musicians to play. Since then, the program has grown to locations beyond the United States and into Japan and Korea.
The Very Young Composers Program is now run by Deak and Bill Gordh, with teaching artist Conrad Kehn.
Students began preparing for the program last spring in Skype discussions with Deak. They were told to draw pictures of their musical ideas in a series of pictograms. In June, the students were introduced to the story of Instrument Village and were encouraged to compose a piece that is a Village Story. For the last several weeks the students have met with the directors of the program and were taught the art of music composition.
On Wednesday, the students will have their final rehearsal with the musicians of the New York Philharmonic. Then at 1 p.m. musicians of the New York Philharmonic will perform the student's musical works at the Vail Public Library. The students will attend the event to describe their piece to the audience and how they created the music.
On Thursday at 1 p.m. musicians of the New York Philharmonic will perform a second performance of the Very Young Composers works at the Avon Library. Tickets are not required for either complimentary performance.
"I encourage parents and children to come to these concerts and see how we have taught young students how to create music," said Campbell. "It's a ripple effect. If a young child sees that his or her peers can create music, then that child will be inspired to create music as well, which is our goal with the program – to inspire young musicians."

Discussion in 'December 2008' started by Dlev59, Dec 14, 2008.
AI was taken out due to a jammed thumb.
Nope...Absolutely NOT.It couldn't take AI out.That was nothin for him...He played with broken finger last season and in USA team before. But this is the excuse MC will say in press conference ofc.
Lee what is your take on Max this year? I know you keep saying he's one of our best bigs and all, but comparing him to last year he seems timid and not his bull in a glass house attitude that I have come to love and yearn to see again. He's done it in limited mins before, so energy shouldn't be effected by lack of mins, can see his shooting be off by the lack of time. If he was playing like he had in the past I have to think he'd be getting more mins at this point.
See i think we still can be with the right rotations. Not 2004-esque or even 2005, but good enough. The one thing that really disappoints me is that i thought the bench was going to play. Arron to a degree has, but who else ? Max/Amir/Kb it seems are not aloud to play in the same game, and when the games are considered "big", Curry tightens the ropes. In the begginning of the year MC was all about rebounding, defense, etc. then we made the AI trade, things fell apart and it's like he switched philosophies overnight. Sacrificing rebounding for scoring, playing PHX suns style basketball, these aren't things that are going to take us to the level we're trying to get to. I don't think he's hopeless, but i think Joe overestimated how much he could handle. IMO, it's only a matter of time before AI says something. He looked pissed to put it mildly in the 4th quarter (even though he wasn;t playing all that well to begin with today) and i can't see him staying quiet if the losing continues. edited to add; I didn't know he was injured, Hopefully that was why he looked like that.
I don't know if you watched the game. When the thumb got jammed, AI quit playing. Action was still going on, but he was in too much pain to care. He needed to come out for a moment. Sure, you can go back in after a few moments after such an injury, but no, playing thru that moment where you can't feel your hand won't work.
Lee, I'm listening to you on the podshow. * Maxiell can't rebound. He's one of our worst rebounding forwards. He's also clueless on switches on defense. * Amir doesn't foul less the more he plays. That relationship is inverted. When Amir doesn't foul, he gets to stay on the court. Amir's fouls drive his playing time, not the other way around. You made a sophisticated correlation as causation argument, that is false. * You also made the argument in a similar manner about Amir stopping penetration, and as The Low indicated, Amir didn't stop penetration, Bibby just shot wide open 3s. The horse has to come before the cart.
Give me an E! Pistons: E! Give me an F-F! Pistons: F-F! An O! Pistons: O! R! Pistons: R! T! Pistons: . . .
To Low. I looked it up. Carlisle had 11 years experience in the NBA, as an assistant coach before joining the Pistons. He started as an assistant coach in 1989. (We were discussing coaches on the podcast. I mentioned that Carlisle knew what he was doing, as he had many years as an assistant before being our coach. This is in contrast to Curry, who just had last year as experience. And whom I am now referring to as clueless.) Also Low, while I am not completely into calling for Curry to be fired at the moment, I don't think it would be a bad idea either. My point was though, that you can't make trades if you don't have a competent coach. An incompetent coach will not make the team any better because you got new players. An incompetent coach will just continue to mess everything up by playing poor rotations.
PISTONS: Pistons 78, Hawks 85 Die small ball! No words.
I don't see what the big deal is. DET just held one of the EC's best teams to 85 points. Just a little while ago they were giving up 130 to any and everybody. This team has nothing but upside on its' horizon once they get rid of Sheed. AI got plenty of rest tonight so that was good. Tay's minutes should be measured like dog years. 7 minutes for him = 1 for everyone else. The only way he can get tired is from squeezing the air out of the ball on offense or by packing one too many dolls into his suitcase on these road trips. If they were looking to cut his minutes, they should work it out with the league where they can start all their possessions with 18 on the shot clock instead of having him handle the ball. Dyess hit most of his few outside shots taken and got inside plenty so there are no problems there. I think Mike Bibby hides a taser in his shorts with the way TG went down. He might still be down if he didn't wear a goalies mask during games.
Ernie, that post was solid gold.
We are still at that mid-team plus level but not at the next level. The second unit has a real problem the last two games. No three ball shooters. The second unit has trouble scoring. We lost to Utah and to Atlanta in the second quarter. We had Amir, Bynum, Afflalo, Dyss and AI on the floor, I believe. Teams will often zone up and focus on AI. The problem is that Hermann does not produce consistent offense. A three baller is suppose to be with that group. I can't blame Curry for the roster imbalence. Rip, AI and Stuckey--that is three guys for two spots. Stuckey is playing at times as good as the other two. Do we bench Stuckey? AI? Who? The offense is good but still breaks down for stretches even with the first unit. We are absolutely not getting anything out of Tay or Dyss lately. Tay should be doing some spot up three shooting. Dyss is not a good inside player and Sheed's inside game is either not there or inconsistent. The offense is playing a poor version of small ball. Stuckey and AI should be driving and Tay and Sheed spotting up for jumpers. If you are going to play western style, play it to the hilt. Poor one on one stuff in the 4th kept us from grabbing that game.
I think you are going down the wrong path here. Bynum is an inexperienced point guard, who was basically overhandling the ball with no clue as to what to do. It did not matter who was out there with him. We lost that 2nd quarter largely because we were giving our 3rd string point some development time. (Remember, Curry says Bynum is now the backup point guard.) Now, I won't say anything too bad about giving someone some development time. No problem. But between Bynum, AI, and Stuckey, five uncontested triples were given up in that 2nd quarter to Bibby. (Currys says it was AI four times. AI admits to two times) In any case, our point guard play, which consisted of two of our starters and a rookie point guard, should in no way get confused with the play of Amir and Afflalo, who were also out there. Also, the key big of late, the one who is playing when we are winning games, is Jason Maxiell, who did not even get to play today. This is all a coaches problem, not anything to do with how good the roster is. In other words, a whole lot more could have been done to win this game, as opposed to several other coaching objectives Curry worked on instead.
Just to get specific on the rebounding: Our two starting bigs, Tay and Sheed, did not get any offensive rebounds. Who Curry thinks is our 3rd best big, Dyess, got 1 in his 25 minutes. Thats about 80 minutes of play, 1 offensive rebound between the three. (in contrast, the guy Curry can't seem to find minutes for, Amir, got 2 in his 8 minutes.)
If MC is not going to seperate Rip and AI then Tay needs to go to the pine. There are not enough balls on the court for Rip, AI, Stuck and Tay. Since Stuck got added to the starting line up his game has gone south. Move him to the second unit and get Amir back in with the starters. AJ's proneness to foul will limit his minutes anyways and will get us a rebounder on the floor while we have 4 other jumpshooters on the floor. Tay can be the go to option on the second unit and they can find some minutes for AA with him. AA has been deadly with his jumpshot lately. He needs more time on the floor.
You know AI's defense would look alot better against bench players. Just sayin. I agree with the general sentiment though. Someone has to benched. This line-up doesn't work. It can't sustain any kind of momentum b/c we're giving up so much size. And the AA rule was in full effect this game. I forgot how many minutes he has to play so we can win. I think it has to be at least 5 or maybe 10.
Oy. (deleted all my complaining)... in summary, we got outrebounded again, and got KILLED at the line. Sheed + bench = 0 FTA's for 2nd straight game. Anyways, on to the good stuff: I really liked the way we used Sheed on offense today. 13 two-point attempts. What came into him? Was it something MC mandated? His best move of the night was the pump fake step in that he missed, but it was still great to see him moving toward the hoop from the post. He needs to draw contact on these at least sometimes. Stuckey was very good. The assists weren't there because Atlanta's defense was strong, but Stuck was making jumpers and got inside more than anyone else on our team. At this point I'll admit that he's looking better than Dyess and the new Tay (PF). Amir looked OK. Was good to see him out of the dog house for 8 minutes. Rip was doing some scoring that wasn't all easy. That's about it.
I was not impressed with Atlanta's game tonight. Without Bibby's shooting unconscious from everywhere (regardless of who was guarding him), they played a poor, inconsistent game. The Pistons could have won the game through numerous moments of someone hitting layups, uh, actually put-ups (Dyess). Tay showing more life than a slug. The bench concluding tonight's effort by saying, "what, me score." Professionalism by taking some game hits and knowing that the sun will shine tomorrow and this mask must start protecting the top of my head or I will have to keep answering these voices in my head (Rip). AI, whose thumb was jammed and even I caught this on camera, needs to take charge if only it means a momentarily show of cheer-leading for the team. Pouting does not instill confidence. Come playoff time this team will need to feel alive when he says, "I will spread the floor, everyone be alert and be prepared to take it hard to the basket when the shots goes up." Sheed showed one very big scene tonight. When the pistons have a big down low that settles around the paint and can hit those turn-arounds, it makes the small ball of Stuckey, AI and Rip tough to stop. Fortunately for Atlanta, Sheed does not take things seriously on a consistent basis and those threes just look prettier and he must admit that there is more closeness to the refs where he can (non-stop) voice his concerns. Curry (and, as always, including Flip) you have my deepest sympathies.
Lee, Bynum had a poor run no doubt but we had the same 2nd quarter results against Utah in terms of the Pistons not doing much scoring without Bynum in there. We defended well against Utah in that 2nd quarter but could have blown that game open with just a little scoring. My point is with the offense of the second unit. Utah went to a zone and we had trouble scoring. The Pistons don't have a 3 ball shooter come into the game. Sheed and Tay leave. Most teams have someone who can bomb away on the 2nd unit which helps to spread the floor. The good teams will study what happened in those second quarters on the Piston offense. Hermann has not played up to the role that was undoubtedly envisioned for him for the second unit. If he showed better shooting skills, he could provide some points to offset his defensive limitations. But his shooting has not been consistent enough. I don't blame Curry for not going to him. But he may have to alter the rotations so that a shooter in on the second unit--maybe Tay.
i'm not sure what to say about this one...held atlanta to 42% shooting and lost (22-7 FTA disparity was probably it). dice missed 2 layups but at least he got inside for them. people initially said rip or ai would have to go to the bench...but it's looking more like tay is the one who would be a better fit there if you want to keep rip/ai/stuckey all starting. if you're going to have rip guarding 3s so often (especially to start the game), then you may not really need tay at the 4. i mean, if stuckey continues this offense and we can get sheed to play down low more like today, then why have 5 scorers on the floor? often tay seems to forget he's a PF and is not under the basket for rebounds (especially if he's the one shooting outside shots). put tay on the bench and he gets to take responsibility for the 2nd unit, he can do his backdown/hooks against lesser players, you have a 3-point threat off the bench, you start the game with a more conventional lineup, and you can still give him 30 minutes a game and switch him to SF when you need to give rip/ai/stuckey a break. or, hope phoenix starts sucking again and get them to give us amare for tay+amir. roscoe, i do have to disagree with you about max and his rebounding. even if he doesn't get to every ball, he keeps offensive possessions alive and he intimidates/regulates on every shot. whereas oftentimes you'll see us put up a shot and NO one around the basket, when he's on the floor and a shot goes up he will ALWAYS barrel toward the basket and shove guys out of his way. who else is getting physical with the other team...sheed? tay? amir?
