Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by unchat123, Sep 11, 2013.
Posted today:
Here comes the endless debate about 2002 pairs LP again.
Well, very good interview as always. I liked how Jamie acknowledged the mesmerizing and effortless qualities of B&S's skating and I also agree with her on some of the critics she made, especially on the IJS. However, I find it amusing that she doesn't want to talk more about Johnny Weir because she doesn't like drama. Yeah, sure
Anyway, always great to see the wonderful highlights (in particular the extracts from Tristan & I, Love Story's beautiful throw triple loop at SLC, and the exquisitely choreographed end of Orchid ).
Fabulous interview. I'm very impressed with Jamie's responses.
Keep up the great work, TSL.
There have always been two views on professionalism: either to push the boundaries and risk mistakes or to aim for a comfortable program that the skater can do on little sleep, after being cramped on an overnight bus, despite jetlag, on different ice (or stage) conditions, when ill or off, unhappy or sad. A ballet dancer at a gala can do "The Dying Swan" instead of the "Don Q" fan or "Esmeralda" tambourine variation and still have the audience eating out of her hands (or his, if it's the Trocks).
It's fine that Sale and Pelletier decided to push the envelope on lifts; good for them. If Rochette is doing "comfortable" jump content she knows will work, while working to become a more outgoing and versatile performer, I'm happy to pay to see her do this, and the screaming crowds where I've seen CSOI aren't complaining. I don't remember Sale and Pelletier doing many jumps as professionals, so they were cherry picking their elements, and the smaller show arenas make some of the harder jumps very difficult, which doesn't apply to S/P's throws, for example, and Pelletier can control lift ice coverage by limiting the number of rotations. Comparing the new professionals to Browning is ridiculous, because he's had over a decade more performing experience, and when he pushes the envelope, it's a 2A sequence and a 3T. (Or maybe 3S). He's that good that it doesn't really matter, and from what I have seen of at least the CSOI cast, they're aiming for that kind of performance quality. Did jumpless "Nyah" not count?
I think her comments about Weir and "drama" should be taken in context, which is that he gets the attention for not doing much in skating in NA, and the US media gives him the attention they should be giving other skaters. For example, they could write more articles about Lysacek's comeback
ITA. Really enjoyed the interview and how Jamie handled herself. They asked some tough questions, especially about her personal life, but I feel she was pretty honest and handled it well. It was really interesting to hear how they handled the year leading up to the Olympics. Surrounding themselves with positive was obviously a great strategy. I really enjoyed watching some of the clips of their skating, and Anton & Elena's too. Makes me want to go back and rewatch the whole performance. I'd forgotten just how much I loved Love Story!
Loved the interview too. Aww, Orchid...I haven't watched that program in ages.
I also love it whenever Jamie mentions how David never. missed. a. jump. Even when he tripped before the double axel in the gpf, he was still able to execute it properly.
I thought Yuka Sato was this week.
That question about Putin's anti-gay propoganda laws was totally botched. It's clear she didn't really know anything about it.
I disagree that S/P would have won under IJS.
Still, good interview. She seems happy.
Well what else would you expect Lori Nichol to say?
Given the inflated transitions scores that have been thrown around, I wouldn't be surprised if they would have.
She seemed to not know much about a lot of things.
Like words with more than three syllables.
Snarks aside, I loved the interview and I love the way Jenny and Dave are able to get skaters to answer honestly and not repeat the same PC responses we've been hearing for the last fifteen years.
Not every skater wants to be a politician or even discuss this issue.
The delusion is strong with this one. How she can even try to justify that they deserved to beat B&S is laughable. And her tirade against Johnny seemed to come out of nowhere. I take comfort that it seems like David dumped her ass.
The things she said about Johnny were so terrible. I hope it isnt since she is homophobic. She should meet Johnny and give him a big hug and apologize.
Have never been a particular fan of hers, but she gave a good interview. For someone who says she doesn't like drama, she certainly created a lot of it at Salt Lake City with her whining . Love
Story always seemed more exhibition than competition to me. I think the judges got it right. I agree the media should show more interest in skaters other than Johnny, especially with regards to gay rights. Interview someone like Matt Savoie about it once in awhile.
The delusion is indeed strong, but it's not coming from Jamie...
I was all set to dislike this interview, as Jamie has always rubbed me the wrong way, but I'll admit I like her much better now.
While I was never a Sale/Pelletier fan (I loved B/S), I'm one who thought--and still thinks--they deserved gold over B/S in '02. But I guess I'm just a sucker for a clean program. Interestingly, I went into the archives of this forum, to see what posters here said about the results at the time (I wasn't an FSU member back then). It was 99% in favor of S/P. Oh, how times have changed...
Overall, I thought Jamie's TSL interview was really good. I give her (and David P.) credit for handling a difficult situation (their divorce) so maturely. She obviously doesn't follow skating that closely these days, but she admitted it. As for her comments regarding Johnny, I don't see that she said anything particularly inflammatory. She complimented his skating, but said she'd rather hear from those skaters who have been regularly competing over the past few seasons. Even if she doesn't like him, the answer was respectful enough and seemed like an honest one, at least to me.
Joannie Rochette is the last professional skater that I would ever criticize (of the relatively new crop). She is always very polished...and more than well her her way to becoming the Yuka/Kristi replacement.
I enjoyed the interview. I rolled my eyes at the "drama" comment..because I could.
She was very honest in her answers--I liked that!
me neither, but those other pros, they need to do more of them ::
i think her answer to the sochi question had nothing to do with the question that was asked. i dont think she has a clue about why there is controversy over sochi. it sounded like she was talking about dont ask dont tell.
For one, they tend to let their guests speak and don't interrupt with the next pre-planned question.
One of the principles of negotiation and interview techniques is to use silence, since people tend to keep offering information and explanations to fill the space.
Wonderful interview! I think I came away from this interview with a better understanding of what makes Jamie Jamie. She helped me realize that most skaters are in their own complete bubble and only focused on what is going on in their individual lives; that doesn't necessarily mean that they are ignorant, but instead means they are focused on their own goals and minding their own business, which is a very good thing. I also appreciated her blunt honesty and wise philosophies on life. I fear I may have misjudged her at times in the past and have had false impressions of her, but now I see her in a better light.
LOL, Jamie feels the same way I do about the Evans and the Johnnys; I also don't like the "drama" and we should be focused more on the serious athletes who are actually out there COMPETING to be Olympic hopefuls. Enough of the talking about competing.
Whether you like her as a "person" or not, you have to acknowledge that S/P did not, in fact, give up most of their difficult tricks. They may have stopped performing side by sides jumps in their pro routines, but they certainly kept up their throw jumps and difficult moves, some of which were more difficult than allowed in eligible competition where they would have been illegal. Right to the end their programs were well thought out, well choreographed and performed. They did not let up as pros at all as she quite rightly claims, even when they were going through a difficult break up. Their programs got a bit darker in that period and they stopped gazing lovingly at one another, but they were still intense, well rehearsed and difficult.
Well said! I've always been fan of Jamie's both as a skater & person..and have often times felt she was misjudged. She definitely fits the saying of "love her or hate her.." Agree, this was a wonderful interview by both Jamie & the TSL team.

text: Actually, the sinus infection thread led me to start this. A lovely young ballerina from my pre-pro company is battling brain cancer. She literally dropped to the floor without warning in her home ten days ago and was taken to the ER. They found a 5cm brain tumor at the base of her brain in the back.... She has had 2 surgeries, and they will start chemo in 2 weeks. I am just grateful she survived the 2 major brain surgeries. She is a strong girl, but this kind of thing is brutal to say the least. Her only symptoms were constant headaches that were diagnosed as sinus and allergy issues. I didn't want to put that on the sinus thread for obvious reasons.... I wondered if any of you have had experience with brain cancer/tumors in young people. What are her chances? Here is a photo of her: http://www.pbase.com/rcalmes/image/118291922 She is only 16, and she is a lovely girl. Her name is Anna. Your prayers and best wishes are greatly appreciated.

Brown Leads Phoenix to Fifth-Straight Home Win
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) was dominant with 21 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots, leading Green Bay (8-9, 2-2 HL) to a 53-47 win over visiting UIC, the fifth-straight home victory for the Phoenix.
Green Bay led for much of the first half, and the game was tied 26-26 at the half, but the hosts struggled offensively in the second half and trailed 43-40 with 4:48 to play.
With layups from senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) and a three-point play from Brown, Green Bay scored the next seven points and ended the game on a 13-4 run.
One of the top free throw shooting teams in the country, Green Bay started the game just 9-of-18 from the line. In the decisive run, however, the Phoenix went 7-for-7 from the charity stripe. Brown went 5-of-5 from the line in the final minutes and finished the game with a season-high 21 points. The All-Horizon League First-Team selection hit 6-of-13 shots from the field, including 2-of-3 from long range, and connected on 7-of-8 from the line.
Brown had six of his eight rebounds in the second half as Green Bay held a 17-11 edge on the glass. After UIC collected six offensive rebounds for nine second-chance points in the first 20 minutes, the Flames were unable to get an offensive board after intermission.
Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), who had an uncharacteristically tough afternoon from the field (3-9 FGs, 7 points), tied a career high with seven rebounds and added five assists compared to only one turnover in 38 minutes. Fellow sophomore Greg Mays, also a Chicago native, added seven rebounds to his five points as the Phoenix improved to 7-0 against teams from the Windy City in the past two seasons.
Brown, the rebounding and Green Bay's defense made the difference in the win. UIC shot just 34 percent (16-47) from the field for the game and became the fourth Phoenix opponent during the home winning streak to score 47 or fewer points.
During its winning streak at the Resch Center, Green Bay has held opponents to just 47.4 points per game and a shooting percentage of just 33.8 percent. Brown is averaging 14.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while shooting 52.7 percent in that stretch.
Junior Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) scored five points off the Phoenix bench and made two key free throws late, but the junior saw his school-record streak of 40 consecutive free throws come to an end in the first half. Cerroni is now 28-of-29 from the line this season.
Halfway through its four-game homestand, Green Bay returns to action on Thursday night, hosting Youngstown State on Thursday night at 7 p.m. The Phoenix will then welcome Cleveland State to the Resch Center on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.

These lot numbers are printed on the bottles of Tangley Oaks wines, and are a testament to the true expression of the grape varietal, the vintage and the appellation. In short, they indicate the wine is the very best of the vintage. During the winemaking process, Tangley Oaks winemakers follow all the time-honored methods until they reach a critical point. This is when the Tangley Oaks winemakers must select the lots — representing the absolute best parcels from the vineyards that are worthy of bottling.
Each member of the Tangley Oaks winemaking team tastes through each lot, carefully assessing the fruit, balance and tannins. This process is repeated for every varietal. Only when the winemaking team fully agrees on the one lot that best represents the varietal, appellation and vintage is the lot number chosen. This is the only way to select the best quality wines for the most discriminating palates. View all Tangley Oaks Wines
About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Discussion in 'March 2009' started by Dlev59, Mar 29, 2009.
I'm not so sure about that. That's still 56 possible starting lineups.
I'm not sure that I was watching the same game as you guys? Because the Cleveland team that played last night shot 38% from the floor (46.8 on the season), which I think is the main reason why the game was close. Now you may say it was Detroits defense, but in the game I watched last night, Cleveland missed LOADS of open jumpers and lay-ups early, leading to a 12 point first quarter. Lebron definitely did not have a good game (offensively), and we all know once play-off time starts, Lebron doesn't have many bad games. Orlando without Nelson, no finisher. Boston without a 100% KG, no heart, no passion. Cleveland is head and shoulders about both Boston and Cleveland. Cleveland needs to worry more about meeting Atlanta in the second round, because Big Z and Ben can't keep up with Holford and Josh Smith.
What's sad is, Curry is billed as a coach who is sensitive to the game from a player perspective, but he's absolutely clueless when he yanks guys who are playing well, or calls timeouts when his team has momentum. Curry was a lousy player, and now he is a lousy coach. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I don't think he has a clue what he is doing.
I knew Sheed was getting a T this game. Varejao really gets on his nerves and he loses control.
He's trying, but he doesn't understand feng shui. As a result, he's putting on the wrong suits and his coherent thoughts leak. By the time 4th quarter comes around all that's left is 70% water, 25% flesh and 5% cheap suit.
Herrmann's constant jumping around in defense reminds me of Diana Taurasi, only not as skilled.
I watched the Persian feed that Roscoe found and it was quite soothing. All I heard was ...blah blah blah blah LeuBrown Jay-miss blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Maiyk Buhrouwn blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Resoul Valless blah blah blah....
I think Kwame sent a message to LeBron when he manhandled Varejao in the paint in the first quarter. That was awesome.
Kwame is proving to be a pretty solid guy in the middle. He could have given LeuBrown Jay a couple of hards fouls too and it would have been even better.
Yes, that would've been better. But, LeuBrown is a smart sissy. He saw the writing on the wall and waited until the opportunity to dunk on Bynum before showing off his biceps to Tay.
I removed HQ's comment that was surely made in jest about McLeod. I don't need the hassle of someone taking it seriously.
Its just been Dumars style to not make coaching changes during the season. Have to just play this one out. Reminds me of when Irvine was the head coach. Lot of speculation was that he would be back but Dumars was just giving him the full season.
I'm really starting to like Kwame... I think he might be our best post defender now, even better than Sheed. And he showed a couple nice moves in the post last night too. I hope (and I think) he stays.
When teams play poor defense against the Cavs, they get into the paint. Just by making them take jumpshots, we did our job on the defensive end. The problem was that they also played very good defense on us and pulled away when it really mattered at the end. It really did feel like a playoff game.
Which one looks better and which is a better fit for our team?
Just think if he had started or got in at least 12-15 minutes a game instead of 23 CD-DNP's.., he would have been a steady force in the middle by now and earning his $2 mill a year... or is it $4 mil ?
Funny, if we noticed that in 2006 from afar, why hasn't Joe figured that out and he is right there calculating and counting minutes everygame on his Blackberry
u remove my comment but leave a fake dumars thread that obviously left MORE people worried about taking it seriously. maybe i need to just shuddup and disappear. everything i say to people is like its the 11th commandment....i'm so tired of this go pistons
I removed it to cover your ass and mine. You can thank me later. "Good looking out Roscoe, thanks for having my back. I really didn't want to visit Gitmo.".
That's a tough one.

I too have heard them squeal - but I am unsure if it is the same sound that purportedly freezes the bees to allow the moth her feeding. I have caught two live specimens – one on the outside of a hive body, and the other entrapped in anti-hornet netting – and both squealed for me.My cerana researcher friend has camped out at night with his camera to capture the invasion – which is only at night, but suspected that the entrance was protected by mimicking queen pheromone, if I recall correctly. I'll see him today and will ask again. He might try sound recording too.I have removed many from within hives that were dismembered and depilated (and thus quite colorful) as the bees had discovered them, killed them, and were trying to remove them from the hive piece by piece. So I know that sound alone will not, or even with the assistance of pheromones too - guarantee their safety in the midst's of honeybees.
.... in my observation hive if I make a high-pitched howl/yodel sound, the bees will freeze for the duration of the sound.

I would love to see you in action, I bet you have a beautiful voice, smiling.

What About Your Polling Day Experience?
While out walking the girls I noticed that there wasn't a line at my local polling place. So after crating the dogs I walked over to the polls for lunch.
Yes. Lunch.
I don't know about your polling place but Jefferson Elementary puts on a pretty nice spread for election day. Maxie's Southern Comfort donated their signature pulled pork and jambalaya for a fifth grade fundraiser. There was a bake sale too.
After waiting a couple of minutes for a paper jam in the ballot machine to be unjammed...
Voter #563 had himself some pulled pork on a crusty roll with a side of jambalaya.
I have to say that exercising your civic responsibility by voting and enjoying the generosity of good neighbors like the folks at Maxie's and the volunteers at Jefferson School is heartwarming.
And there's nothing better to chase the blues of a dreary, drizzly day away like some Cajun cook'n.
How'd your polling experience go?

Professor of Law Linda Beale to chair ABA committee
The new chair of an American Bar Association committee that sets and enforces ethical standards of conduct for tax lawyers will be Linda Beale, professor of law at Wayne State University Law School.
She's the author of an award-winning and often-quoted blog called A Taxing Matter that makes money and tax issues easily understood, and also takes on American tax policies that "operate for the high and mighty," in her words. The latest blog entry, "Fixing Sequestration (for the rich only)," tackles the Senate's recent move to exempt air traffic controllers from the tax cuts that are impacting Head Start, indigent defense and many other federal programs.
Beale will assume the chair of the ABA's Section of Taxation Committee on Standards of Tax Practice on July 1 for a two-year term. She previously served as vice-chair. As chair, Beale will have a chance to "affect the development and administration of the tax laws" through the group's programs and projects, according to Michael Hirschfeld, chair-elect of the ABA Section of Taxation.
The committee also is charged with providing education to the public about taxes and tax systems, a calling already undertaken daily by Beale, who teaches courses on Corporate Taxation, Partnership Taxation and Income Taxation. Her well-read blog also serves as an education tool.
She has a bachelor of science degree in chemistry magna cum laude from Duke University, a master's and a Ph.D. in linguistics from Cornell University, a J.D. summa cum laude from Cornell Law School, and an LL.M. in taxation from New York University. Before her law school career, she was a tax law practitioner, a Congressional staffer, a Peace Corps volunteer and a university administrator.
Beale is the author of numerous publications on tax policy, and is co-author of "Corporate Taxation," a textbook for students earning LL.M. degrees in taxation.

do you try to get the bees to fill up the brood space with honey as the season wears down?
I think you need at least 500 bees to survive winter and insulation.
We have successfully wintered 5 frame nucs in Cardboard MDA's, standard wooden nucs and now use styrafoam successfully. We usually so this with splits made in late July or the 1st week of August before our main summer/early fall flow here in the Finger Lakes Regions of Upstate New York. I'll put a hive with a small population (one that swarmed late) in a nuc and winter as well. The key is to allow enough brood cycles for a hive to gain population and forage nectar during a flow but not have a hive build up a huge population. A fresh queen helps and let them use the flow to pack out the 5 frames. We thought we'd have issues with condensation in the styrafoam nucs but they worked exceptionally well and due to the insulating value they are going full guns early in the season. We can feed by simply pouring sugar water into the bottom and they are light and easy to move. We have wintered nucs inside as well but what a hassle! We have the best results with NWC's as they are very efficient and run small clusters anyway. Queens in our area - the frigid finger lakes, start laying the last week of Janaury as a rule.

Adeel Tahir, youngest son of Saghir Tahir, takes a few minutes to watch a slideshow of moments in his father's life before crowds came to the memorial held Saturday. (JAY REITER/Union Leader)
The man everyone knew as "Saggy" was remembered as a self-made man who came to this country from his native Pakistan in 1972 and became a citizen six years later.
Active in Republican politics, he served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2000 to 2010, one of the first American Muslims elected in the United States.

Kudos to all nominees, finalists and winners in the 2012 Clawbies – Canadian Law Blog Awards.
I am gratified that the Clawbies jury panel — comprised of Steve Matthews, Jordan Furlong and Simon Fodden (for whom the eponymous Fodden Award for Best Canadian Law Blog is named — decided to recognize some blawgers who represent the tradition of tireless and fearless blawging; not flawging and shameless self-promotion.
The ClawBies provide an object lesson for new blawgers (and for those who have forgotten or still don't understand the point): substance always trumps form. Whether you blawg for fun or profit, remember to always share link-love and promote others, especially those with whom you disagree; this is the key to building a lasting online reputation among your peers and the public. How you define success ultimately depends upon you, but failure often reeks of desperation and cheap cologne.
The Canadian blawgosphere appears alive and well and let's hope it continues into 2013 and beyond.

Mark; I have a question that I would like to pass your way...
I have been looking through landscape/macro's and noticed alot of images with flower's but also contain alot of bugs/insects.
I also have done searches right through the very beginning of pages and from what I have seen, is that when it comes to "Floral Images" they some-how seem to by-passed alot of the times.
And for me personally, that's a shame.
My question to you is this: "Have you considered having a section just for flowers?"
Landscape to me is just that, large over-all veiws of a subject... and macro's can be used for some images of flowers; but that is really for ppl who have the tools/equipement for those type of images & nature & wildlife are different subjects again... it really (from a florist, speaking here) has nothing to do with the subject o floral's alone. Macro's can be of "any" subject.
Perhaps what is needed is an area somewhere, just for flower's???
Look forward in hearing your comment.

New Build Documentation
This documentation is written with the ASL 1.0.23 distribution in mind.
Building ASL : Requirements
In order to build ASL, the requirements are as follows:
- A working IDE installation of:
- GCC 3.4.4 or better (cygwin)
- GCC 4.0.1 or better (MacOS X)
- MSVC 8.0 or better (Win32)
- MSVC 8 Express (additional instructions needed to get MSVC 8 Express ready to build ASL; Please see below.)
- A patched copy of Boost 1.33.1 distribution
- A copy of the latest ASL distribution
- A dose of patience
If you are Inside Adobe
Within Adobe the Software Technology Lab maintains Perforce servers for distributions of both Boost and the Adobe Source Libraries. This is the preferred method of downloading ASL within Adobe, as the Boost sources are already patched and placed correctly. Please see the STLab website for more information on getting ASL this way.
The rest of this document is not for you.
Building the Libraries Automatically
Two automated net install scripts have been written to ease in the downloading and building of the Adobe Source Libraries. Given a development environment, these scripts will do all the downloading, patching and building necessary to get a working build of ASL and Adobe Begin on your computer.
The Windows version can be downloaded from:
The *NIX (including Mac OS X) version can be downloaded from:
Please note that {VERSION} in the download URL should be replaced with the version you see at the top of this file. (e.g., 1.0.23)
You may only run these scripts from a directory having no spaces or unusual characters in the path. This is due to a bjam restriction that will cause some of the tests to fail during the build process.
The rest of this document is not for you.

text: What we are missing in this discussion is that skaters don't perform jumps with no preparation for all the obvious reasons. They first do some progressives and/or crossovers to build enough speed. Then the slowly do the two three-turns in and then plant the jump. Most skaters telegraph their jumps to a smaller or larger extent. If you do a 3toe/3toe combination, everything that I've written above goes away. You have to perform a 3toe right off the landing of a triple toe. Unless your first 3toe was perfect you won't have ideal balance or landing speed, you'll be fatigued because of just having landed a jump and even if that landing was perfect you have to perform a triple jump with no preparation. Also, you can tack a 2toe at the end of the 3lutz even if it wasn't landed well. You cannot tack a 3toe at the end of a 3toe if it wasn't landed well. Unless you're Stefan Lindemann. The overwhelming amount of ladies aren't doing 3toe/3toe now. If you look at the jump progression of skaters as they go from junior to senior, in the vast majority of cases they first perform 3lutz/2toe before being able to perform any 3/3 combos. Hanyu had a consistent 3axel before he was able to land any 3/3 combos. The answer: The gain not worth the effort put in. Working on 3lutz/3toe or 3flip/3toe makes much more sense because in an ideal world you want to do both 3flip and 3lutz in your SP.

text: I'll politely disgree with Lee on this (first time ever). I'm definately pickin' up what you're layin' down on the weak defending SG & PF... but it's not like teams are lining up to make quality bigs available... Now I know Lee you ain't sad about Dice walking to greener fields... Sheed will be going downhill from this point (imo it started 3 years ago). Then there was the draft void of quality bigs.... so what was Joe's leverage?... simply stockpile talent at a possition that would allow him to move from a position of strength. I also hated to see Afflalo go (rather have him and his contract over Rip). But for all the naysyers it would be nice to see a better realistic plan put forth. This is the guy that got us to the elite level... if you think we were automatically due to continue the same road of excellence with old players high picks and MLE $'s to spend you may want to rethink your position. I can't blame N.E. 1 for questioning BG & Villa-No-D... but the summer ain't over yet. Peace

6.13 kilometers. 3.8 miles. That's what separates Arsenal and Tottenham - that and numerous trophies. But let's focus on the game itself.
Many sports have rivalries, but most here in the US are more coast vs coast or city vs city. Yankees vs Boston in baseball, Giants vs Cowboys in the NFL, Celtics vs Lakers in basketball and hockey has the hated state rivalry between the Penguins and Flyers. Plus, U.S based teams. vs Canada's iconic teams in Montreal and Toronto. There are many others, but you get the picture.
But the North London derby is a battle between two teams in the same city. The same part of the city. It's quite amazing when you compare that to really any sport in the world. Ironically the two fan bases here in LA are separated by the Hollywood Hills. We watch our games in Studio City while the other lot watches games in Hollywood. Can't make this up.
Seriously, you have fans from both sides, all over the world waking up at odd hours, or walking to the bar to watch the match. Fans in Los Angeles will be at the pub at 4:30am to watch a regular season game between two city rivals. Would we wake to see the Dodgers play the SF Giants or Angels at 4:30am? Probably not. Ok, we wouldn't. It just doesn't have the same meaning or importance. It's missing the key ingredients: Pride and Passion. Real passion.
Whether you're 3.8 miles away, over a hill or a couple thousand miles away, it's important. And it always will be.
And London will always be RED...

Phoenix Closes Cancun Challenge with Dominant Win over Richmond
By: Jill Wunrow (@JillWunrow)
CANCUN, Mexico (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Entering the final game of the Cancun Challenge, the Green Bay (4-1) women's basketball team knew it would have a big test facing a tough defensive Richmond (3-4) team that had not lost a game in the Cancun Challenge, until it met the Phoenix. Led by a career-high 26 points from senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.), Green Bay crushed the Spiders with a 79-48 win Saturday, Nov. 24 at the Moon Palace in Cancun, Mexico.
"I thought Richmond is as good defensive team that we'll see all year long and we did a very good job of breaking it down and taking care of the ball," said head coach Kevin Borseth.
Eichler sank a career-high five three pointers as one of eight players to hit a three as part of Green Bay's season-high 14 threes in a contest.
"She's our toughness and our leader and I remind her to make every player around her better," Borseth said of Eichler. "I thought she took care of the ball really well for us tonight."
Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) opened the scoring for the Phoenix with a three pointer from the left corner, igniting a 10-2 run early on. Richmond's first bucket of the contest came at 14:34 off a jump shot from Lauren Tolson and after the Spiders first three pointer of the contest, Eichler answered with her second three of the game to give the Phoenix a 13-5 advantage at the 13:29 mark.
Stephanie Sension's (Hopkins, Minn.) lone three of the game from the left wing gave the Phoenix 18-9 lead at the 8:28 mark. Eichler's third three with 5:31 to play gave Green Bay a 10-point advantage and Gilbertson's deep three from the right wing gave the Phoenix its largest lead of the half (30-13) with 2:58 remaining.
In the final 5:31 of the half, Green Bay outscored Richmond 13-5 featuring eight points from Eichler, to give the Phoenix the 33-18 advantage at the break.
"We came out ready to play and knew what they were going to do against us defensively," Eichler said. "It was important for us to make the extra pass and I just happen to be on the receiving end of those extra passes."
Eichler's fourth three of the first half came off a perfectly executed play as time expired. With Sam Zastrow (Algoma, Wis.) running the point, Green Bay used all final 30 seconds of the clock. Zastrow penetrated the lane and dished out to Bauer on the top of the key who found Eichler in the corner. Green Bay's entire bench and 24 fans who made the trip to Cancun erupted with excitement as the horn sounded.
Green Bay sank a first half season-high seven three pointers as Eichler led all players with 14 points, going 4-for-5 from beyond the arc. The Phoenix shot 50 percent from both the field and three-point range while its defense forced Richmond eight turnovers.
In the second half, the Phoenix continued to control the game from beyond the arc as Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) sank two threes and Bauer added one in the first four minutes of play. Green Bay led 51-28 at the first media timeout after Sension sank her second three from the right corner and was fouled on the play.
The Spiders' defense did not give up more than 61 points this season until Sension sank a layup down low to boost the Phoenix lead to 63-34 at the 10:59 mark of the second half. Sension's bucket was part of a 15-2 run by Green Bay featuring scoring from four different players, forcing Richmond to call timeout.
Green Bay never let up the entire contest as it built its lead to as much as 33 after a pair of free throws from Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) with 5:13 to play.
The Phoenix shot 60 percent in the second half, shooting 60 percent from the field, 70 percent from three-point range and 71 percent from the charity stripe while its defense forced 14 turnovers. Ritchie led all players with 12 of her 14 points in the second half, including going 2-for-2 from three-point range.
Green Bay's bench contributed 22 points in the win, led by Ranger with six points while Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.) led the way on the boards with four while contributing five points.
"No matter how many minutes our players on the bench plays the fact that they have been coming in and picking up right where we left off is huge for them," said Eichler of her teammates. "They went into the game and worked hard, made good passes and traps and their defense was solid."
As a team the Phoenix outrebounded Richmond 24-21 while finishing the game shooting 55 percent from the field, 58 percent from three point range and 70 percent from the free throw line.
CAREER RECORDS IN CANCUN: With Green Bay finishing the Cancun Challenge 2-1 against its opponents, each game featured a career milestone by three different Phoenix players. In Green Bay's opening contest against James Madison, senior Stephanie Sension posted career highs in rebounds (10), points (19), assists (4) and steals (4) as part of her first career double double performance.
In Green Bay's second game against Missouri, Jenny Gilbertson sank a career-high three three pointers while playing a career-high 23 minutes which she surpasses playing 24 minutes against Richmond. In addition to Eichler's career-high 26 points against Richmond, Breannah Ranger played a career-high 19 minutes and freshman Taylor Thomas (Wausau, Wis.) scored her first collegiate points of her career with a three pointer in the second half. Ellen Edison (Maple Grove, Minn.) made her collegiate debut in a regular season game against Richmond, playing six minutes while grabbing one rebound and one steal.
NEXT UP: Green Bay returns to the confines of the Kress Events Center Friday, Nov. 30 as it hosts University of Indianapolis at 7 p.m. before traveling to Central Michigan Wednesday, Dec. 5 and Marquette Saturday, Dec. 8.
Full season ticket and Pick 5 packages are on sale now with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625 or visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center.

Here is a video that Martine Loots shared of Kumo (Fun son).
At about the 3 minute mark, you can see him doing food refusal. There is inherent stress in this exercise. He does some lip licking, a yawn, a couple look aways, but is very solid in the behavior. As with the dog in the first video, a down can be a stressful position, especially with action going on. I think this reaction to the position in the fist video, and this video as well, is normal.
IMO, stress can be exaggerated by using harsh training methods as well, if the dog is expecting a harsh correction for breaking the down. This may be the case in the first video.
If you view the rest of this video, you will see a very confident young dog. Some things cause stress, and that is part of life. IMO, it is how the dog deals with the stress through behavior and resilience.
|Internal conflict or classically conditioned stress response to ecollar stim associated with the cat? Know first im just posing the question i dont think your method is inappropriate.
Control and precision in training whatever the behavior is not about alpha whatever that means or percieved fairness. Its about reliability and correctness. Anything less then that is failure.
My dog likes to play with the cat..alot, i do not allow this in the house. If she looks at the cat in an intense way she recieves e collar stim on low levels. She looks away licks her lips looks back etc. She no longer chases the cat nor is she afraid of the cat however if he gets close to her she does those behaviors. Internal conflict. I dont care what it looks like as long as she isnt scratching up my hardwood chasing the cat. It has no effect on the rest of the training.
Teach heeling with a prong or e collar exclusively you get the same look. The dog will still heel and in time those expressions will go away especially if you add rewards later. If the dog is not destined for sport but has a function that requires a reliable heel it doesnt matter.

And if you're managing your dog properly they should never be asked to down in situation such as this. Maybe it's just me but I don't see the need to force my dog to interact with strange children, or even my own (if I have some in the future) whilst downing ESPECIALLY if it's something that is stressing out my dog unnecessarily. Like a certain poster said below, you want your dog to learn to deal with stress but these should be within reason.

The dog may be parked out in front of the gasthaus , or pub where the shepherd was taking his meal . A dog must not take bribes , refuse food for safety . A great deal of some very special qualities have been lost . Saw a video of a 20 minute interview , in German, young lady student interviewing shepherd with large flock doing land management . He had two dogs , which would lay behind him , keeping an eye on these 200 hundred or so sheep which were starting to creep in ones or twos closer to the roadway . The dogs on their own initiative would get up , manage the situation and then lay down again.
There is nothing alpha about the training in these campagne and ring tests . Alpha and hemmed in "obedience" will not give you a dog able to make independent , correct , decisions . Flex -- - required in detection work , police work also.
It is impressive. I have seen the dogs herding the sheep along a highway, and keeping them out of the crops and out of the road. Great stuff. Stuff they do every day. Normal for them.
If I was worried about people throwing poisoned food at my dog, I might worry about training them against taking it. The application isn't there. In this country, you do not leave your dog outside the pub while you have dinner.
I am happy with my dogs taking a high value treat nicely from me. I also train the figure 8 with distractions, which sometimes is food. We do train with marshmellows and other treats laying on the ground. We say, Leave It and move on by. No problems.
We never give these treats. We give a treat from our pocket.
But throwing food at a dog while the owner is out of site. Or putting food on a dog, and making it wait to eat it -- those are tricks I just see no point to whatsoever. Telling a dog to Leave It when you are walking can be a life skill. And no, it isn't hard to do. You do not have to be all alpha to do it.

Bought these from somebody who lied to me about the bolt pattern, got them and found out they dont fit. Guy who sold them to me is dodging my calls so I decided to put them up here.
I need something in 5x100 preferably 17x7.5.
Sorry for the crappy pictures, I work two jobs and didn't have time to make sure they were perfect. Every single wheels is in absolute mint condition same with every tire.

I know you are 12 but, please use whole words and whole thoughts.
That makes less sense than your previous statement.
I will go out on a limb and say the answer to your question is no.
I googled it and he is refering to some sort of paper model. I think it has become something of popular medium to make cheap costumes with.
Edit: See xero's daft punk helmet thread. It sounds like it's more used for statues etc.
Ummm...I'm with GCN, I didn't understand a thing.

well, honestly... this is a board about mandos and zam. not a lot of grievous going on here. you'd probably do better at theforce.net.
yah i know i suck at spelling and **** i dont need people to tell me this
wy does it blake out c r a p
that would be because you are not supposed to say that... and putting spaces between the letters is even worse heh...
Anyway, I'm with GCN I'm lost... sorry I can't help you O_o Good luck? I think? heh
Yeah, he is talking about Pepakura files, and the such... "Pep" is the accepted abbreviation amongst people who use it often. Such as 405th Mjolnir. But uh... I don't think anybody has or will tackle a General Grievous Pepakura... it's just too nightmarish. Especially for a costume... I just shudder at the thought of someone trying to fold that out of paper.
Uh oh, I hear a lock coming sometime soon.
dude seriously, these boards have spell check, when you see those little red underlines, you spelled a word wrong. right click that red underlined word and it will give you alternate spellings. then before you post your comment, click the preview post button and read it again and see if it makes sense. One other thing, try to stay on topic until you have at least 100 or so posts. "Use my knowledge, I beg you..." Personally I blame the whole "1st post!" phenomenon that all these 12 year olds do on the message boards. now that is annoying!
Seeing another thread that is going nowhere fast but down hill, I am going to lock it.

The Living Building Challenge (LBC), the green-building certification system administered by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), is the winner of the 2012 Buckminster Fuller Challenge. As such, the LBC and ILFI have won $100,000 to further develop and scale the program and its work.
Awarded by the Buckminster Fuller Institute, the challenge recognizes initiatives that take a comprehensive and anticipatory design approach to advance human well-being and the health of the planet's ecosystem. The LBC has been a finalist for the annual prize every year since 2010.
Entries must be comprehensive, anticipatory (factoring in critical future trends and needs as well as projecting effects of implementation), ecologically responsible, feasible, verifiable (able to withstand rigorous empirical testing), and replicable.
The LBC requires projects to meet 20 imperatives across seven categories, or petals, including net-zero energy, waste, and water, and must verify results with a minimum of 12 months of continuous post-occupancy data. The first projects were certified in October 2010, and ECO-STRUCTURE spoke with LBC author Jason McLennan in January 2011 regarding the goals of the system. In October 2011, the Bullitt Center in Seattle, the first urban, multistory project aiming for Living Building status, won the On the Boards category of ECO-STRUCTURE's Evergreen Awards, and this month, we spoke with the foundation's director, Denis Hayes, about the LBC from the client perspective.
A runner-up and several honorable mentions also were named at the Buckminster Fuller Challenge award ceremony in New York City. Future of Fish, a nonprofit accelerator for entrepreneurs launching market-based initiatives that drive sustainability, efficiency, and traceability in the seafood supply chain, was the runner-up. Eco-Fuel Africa Limited, which works with rural farmers in Africa to make clean cooking fuel and organic fertilizers, and the Water Retention Landscape of Tamera, a model for natural decentralized water management, restoration of damaged ecosystems, and disaster prevention, were the honorable mentions.
More information on all the honorees, as well as statements about the winners form the Buckminster Fuller Institute and the jury is online here.

Press Release – 21.02.2012
Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on Luxembourg
Strasbourg, 23.02.2012 - The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published its new report on Luxembourg. ECRI's Chair ad interim, François Sant'Angelo, said that, while there have been positive developments, issues of concern persist. For example inequalities in employment remain and the Centre for Equal Treatment (Centre pour l'égalité de traitement - CET) should be strengthened.
In 2006, Luxembourg introduced legislation against racial discrimination and in 2008 the CET was set up as the Luxembourg body with the task to promote, analyse and monitor equality of treatment between all persons without discrimination on grounds of, among others, "race" or ethnic origin, religion or other beliefs. The 2008 law on free movement of persons and immigration simplified the system for granting work permits to foreigners.
However, the need to pass a test on spoken Letzeburgisch is an obstacle to the acquisition of Luxembourg nationality for a number of foreigners. The school drop-out rate is particularly high among foreign pupils. The division of labour among several bodies combating racial discrimination is problematic, since their terms of reference overlap in some cases. The ethnic origin or the language spoken by a person arrested continue to be mentioned in the media without its being necessary for the understanding of the news.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations to the authorities, three of which require priority implementation and will be revisited by ECRI in two years' time:
The report, including Government observations, is available here. It was prepared following ECRI's contact visit to Luxembourg in March 2011 [Press Release – 18.03.2011] and takes account of developments up to 23 June 2011.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, colour, citizenship, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

TENS Unit Accessories
Depending on what TENS unit you purchase, there are some accessories that will come with the unit and some that you will have to buy separately. Most TENS units come with at least one battery and a package of pre-gelled electrodes. Usually, TENS units also come with carrying case accessories so you can take your unit with you for pain relief on the go.
Additionally, some TENS units may come with belts or belt clip accessories that allow you to keep the TENS unit on your person. These are particularly useful for lower back pain because the unit is in close proximity to the pain area and doesn't need to be removed for use. You can choose to keep the electrodes connected to your body so that you can provide pain relief as needed at work, shopping or anywhere else.
Additional TENS Unit Accessories
The most common TENS unit accessories you'll need to purchase are electrodes. These days, most electrodes come pre-gelled, and you can choose from a variety of shapes. Oval, round, square, rectangle and butterfly are the most common shapes, and which ones you choose is primarily dependent on where you plan to place them and your own personal preference.
You can also buy extra batteries and battery chargers to use with a TENS unit. Even though you are using rechargeable batteries, having some fully charged batteries ready to go can save you time and keep pain relief within reach when you need it. At All Time Medical, we have a wide variety of TENS units and TENS unit accessories available at competitive prices.

Saudi Arabia's highest judiciary official issues a religious decree says it was permissible to kll the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content. Sheikh Saleh Al-Lihedan, said that satellite channels broadcasts cause the "deviance of thousands of people" and interfere with people watching nice, decent content on Arab channels. Of course, the religious content of some of these broadcasts might lean to being boring but they do ensure no one's mind will get corrupted by watching comedy or half nude women or individuals expressing their own views, and, of course, we certainly don't want people watching TV shows in which there is kissing or reference to gays. The Sheikh was particularly upset at music videos.
Part of the problem facing these important clerics is the fact so many of the satellite are owned by important figures in the Saudi government or business community. Killing them might upset a few people high in government, but when it comes down to allowing people to see two humans embrace and kiss and murder– well, guess which one will prevail in Saudi Arabia?

Chagas disease is an illness spread by insects. It is common in South and Central America.
American trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite related to the African trypanosome that causes sleeping sickness. It is spread by the bite of reduvid bugs and is one of the major health problems in South America. Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States.
Risk factors for Chagas disease include:
Chagas disease has two phases: acute and chronic. The acute phase may have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Symptoms include:
After the acute phase, the disease goes into remission. No other symptoms may appear for many years. When symptoms finally develop, they may include:
Physical examination can confirm the symptoms. Signs may include:
Tests include:
The acute phase and reactivated Chagas disease should be treated. Infants born with the infection should also be treated.
Treating the chronic phase is recommended for children and most adults. Adult patients should talk to their doctor about whether to treat chronic Chagas disease.
Two drugs are used to treat this infection: benznidazole and nifurtimox.
Both drugs often have side effects. The side effects may be worse in older people.
Side effects may include:
About 30% of infected people who are not treated will develop chronic or symptomatic Chagas disease. It may take more than 20 years from the time of the original infection to develop heart or digestive problems.
Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia) may cause sudden death. Once heart failure develops, death usually occurs within several years.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you think you may have Chagas disease.
Insect control with insecticides and houses that are less likely to have high insect populations will help control the spread of the disease.
Blood banks in Central and South America screen donors for exposure to the parasite. The blood is discarded if the donor tests positive. Most blood banks in the United States began screening for Chagas disease in 2007.

text: Do your non-skating relatives and friends give you a hard time (even jokingly) whenever you turn down social invitations due to skating? I have 6:30 am lesson/practice on Saturday mornings so I almost always say no to going out Friday night because I know I need a full night's sleep for the next day. Or I only stay out till 10 pm. Hard to do since I'm in my late twenties and it seems like the only Friday/Saturday night activity my friends are familiar with are going out to the bar or going to see a band in a bar. I have gotten my share of ribbing from them over skating but for the most part they think it's cool, even admirable that I can get up so early Saturday mornings for an athletic endeavour. Any experiences you guys wanna share? Did you even make up an excuse before jut to say something different other than skating on why you are not going somewhere?

NCSE is pleased to congratulate Jason R. Wiles on receiving the Evolution Education Award for 2016 from the National Association of Biology Teachers and the Excellence in Teaching Award for 2016 from the Association of College and University Biology Educators.
In a column published in the November 2016 issue of Scientific American, Steve Mirsky continues to relate his excursion through the Grand Canyon with NCSE.
A new survey from the Pew Research Center suggests, "Political fissures on climate issues extend far beyond beliefs about whether climate change is occurring and whether humans are playing a role ... These divisions reach across every dimension of the climate debate, down to people's basic trust in the motivations that drive climate scientists to conduct their research."
Writing in the Guardian (September 28, 2016), two members of Congress — Mike Honda (D-California, District 17) and Edward J. Markey (D-Massachusetts) — incisively presented the case for their Climate Change Education Act, currently under consideration in both houses of Congress.

On his recent visit to the Middle East President Bush worked in a three hour visit to Egypt which was not warmly welcomed by either its government nor its people. As thousands gathered at the Al-Azhar Mosque for Friday prayers, the main speaker's sermon attacked Arab leaders for failing the people in the region. On Saturday, the banned Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement under the title, "No welcome for the murderers" which accused Bush of having "hands soaked in our blood" and insisting that "neither you nor your American assistants are welcome in our land." Among the criticisms leveled against Bush was inciting the
Ethiopian invasion of Somalia, interfering in Lebanon and being "responsible for the destruction of Afghanistan and the occupation of Iraq." On Monday, over 200 journalists shouted "down with America." On Tuesday, many members of Egypt's parliament protested the visit.
Many observers expected anti-Bush comments to be expressed by opposition forces to the regime of President Mubarak, but they were surprised that many pro-government newspapers ran stories that were extremely critical of Bush. For example, the weekly Al-Osbou, which has ties to the government ran several stories that sharply attacked American policy. It appears Mubarak allowed these articles to be published. The interesting question is why did the Egyptian government decide to take this anti-American slant at this point in time?

By Rob Kelly
Thomas Vermaelen says discipline is a key part of his approach to the Arsenal captaincy - as well as trying to set a good example.
The Belgian international inherited the armband from the departed Robin van Persie in the summer and has impressed in his new role as skipper.
Vermaelen insists that his methods are straightforward and admits he has been helped by some of the senior members of the squad.
"A captain should always give 100 per cent for his club on the pitch, that's the first thing," he told the Official Arsenal Magazine.
"He needs to give a good example and be disciplined. But everyone does the role differently - some people talk a lot in the dressing room, some don't, some talk to individual players and perhaps try to help the youngsters.
"I just try to do as well as I can, setting a good example on the pitch and off it. Robin did a good job last year and it went well, so I aim to continue that.
"I try to be disciplined, to live by the rules, and to make sure the whole team is doing the same. There are a few of us who work together on that, though - Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker as well, they're really good and help me a lot.
"We're like a small team, making sure everyone is doing the right things and trying to assist them when they need it."
Vermaelen says that while the role of the captain is afforded greater importance in England than other countries, it is something he enjoys.
"I think it works quite differently in Spain," says Thomas. "There, the players decide who is captain at some clubs - such as Barcelona for example.
"So it varies, but England is a country of traditions and I think that's a good thing. I quite like that the captaincy is considered really important, and I am very proud to have this position at Arsenal because it's a big honour."

I swear they have PC marked on their sides.
And all genetically predisposed to fleecing.
obummer is catching hell trying to get the sheeple to do a sig-hiel!
Well, as you can see, they have been fleeced. I'm not saying that they are any wiser now. Just standing there with that WTF just happened expression on their faces.
I'm sure someone will come along soon and tell them what to do. After all, they must still be of some use or they would have been sent off to the camps by now.

Discussion in 'January 2010' started by roscoe36, Nov 3, 2009.
Ours was an on/off switch. Theirs look more like a potentiometer.
Now everyone wants to be green. The Pistons were saving the planet before it was fashionable.
Just finished watching the game: Dear Mr. Kuester, You suck. Regards, Pistons Fans.
fans are panicking and throwing towels, not Q. ...and trades does not happen on demand. JoeD won't trade from position of weakness -firesale, etc.
It's obvious that JJ is not making effective use of his off-arm. He should speak to Tim Duncan. It would be wrong for Kuester to get fired before the end of the season. He hasn't exactly had the most ideal situation thrust upon him. Who is next in line? Brian Hill? Hmm... It doesn't make sense for them to continue throwing the first mate overboard when the captain is the one steering the ship. How do we get back into a position of strength when we keep losing? What are our strengths?
It is naivity to hope that others GMs are willing to bail out Pistons via trade JoeD does not have to trade neither Rip or Tay. for instance, I'm convinced that Bosh won't stay in Toronto and Colangelo has to trade Bosh at deadline...nobody is going to offer something sweet...
I was suspect of Kuester's coaching long before this losing streak, these past 11 games, and more significantly this game, have confirmed that he is not a head coach. You can not honestly say you watched this game and thought he coached well. Apart from his seemingly inane knack for taking players out of the game when they're on a roll, he isn't using the younger & deeper squad to play quicker like we were all told at the start of the season, overplaying the guys coming back from injury, not playing the promising rookies as a result and despite being an offensive assistant coach, can't develop an offensive play for anyone but Hamilton's screens and the odd Prince isolation backdown, which they've been running for years! Oh and I forgot to add his body language - but no it's ok, he's always giving the guys positive reinforcement :rolls eyes: Look, I'm never one to get down on a coach for nothing and blame them for losses as the players have to take responsibility too - and I'm not saying we would have won X number of games more with another coach. We would likely have had a similarly bad streak with another one, but I just don't think the man is a head coach.
Q needs to now what he can get from Tay, Rip and Bengo. 2-3 games is not enough. 10 is needed, more or less. please, no need to post all like "Jonas Jerebko - his minutes?". I even do not read Leecaps anymore because of "wilcox this and that".
So playing them more minutes than they were meant to be getting this season due to our deeper bench, while recovering from injuries, is Keuster working out what he can get from them... which is more minutes? I'll take the great Chewbacca defence on this one - it does not make sense.
I'm not worried. tay and rip have bigger burden of responsibility. If things do not turn around during home games period, Q makes changes. He was not afraid of benching CV and Bengo when starting them did not work. Since tay and rip are starting, ppl are overreactingly paranaiod ( not again them! I'm bored of them! I want changes!)
THAT'S YOUR PLAN!!!! That!! and you call me unrealistic.
Ppl tend to post "best case scenarios". In short, chances for "best case scenario" are slimmer than slim, IMO.
What do you think the chances are of getting Bosh?
impossible. TMac? ditto.
Bosh wants to play for a contender. As is, Detroit would be a downgrade from Toronto. We're not getting him without another trade first. Remember, KG only agreed to go to Boston after they signed Ray Allen. If we make a splash like that first, then we can realistically start talking about signing Bosh.
Hmmm did Charlie V come Detroit because he thought Gordon made us a contender??
Normal GM I'd give about a 5% chance. The great Joe Dumars I'd put it at 150-225% (plus a chance to reunite the 2006 Raptors front court w/ Charlie Villanueva)
Problem was that switch got stuck in the off position in game 6 of the ECF for 3 years in a row. They just never had that killer instinct after 04.
I was thinking about 225%...so I'm right there with you.
Separate names with a comma.

Taking Gretsch's 130th Anniversary Celebration To New Heights
After criss-crossing the United States to attend a series of events celebrating Gretsch's 130th anniversary this year, Fred and Dinah Gretsch recently took the celebration international. Following an anniversary show at the Sam Ash store in Hollywood on July 20th, they left Los Angeles on the 22nd for a flight to Tokyo, Japan. Because they crossed the International Date Line they arrived on the 23rd—an auspicious date in itself, since it was Fred Gretsch's birthday.
The Gretsches were actually in Japan to celebrate two anniversaries. The first is the Gretsch Company's 130th. The second is the 25th anniversary of Gretsch's distribution partnership with the Kanda Shokai Company. To make that celebration particularly special, the directors of Kanda Shokai arranged for Fred and Dinah to take part in a unique excursion: a journey to the top of Japan's iconic Mt. Fuji.
And so it was that on July 26 at 4:30 a.m. Fred Gretsch left his hotel for a car trip to a point nearly 8,000 feet up on the mountain. (Dinah followed in a car a bit later to a station at 6,600 feet.) After spending an hour acclimating to the lower air pressure at that elevation, Fred embarked with a Kanda Shokai team and an experienced mountain guide on a six-hour climb to the summit. There—at an elevation of just over 12,000 feet—Fred proudly displayed Gretsch drum and guitar banners to commemorate his accomplishment and celebrate the double anniversary. Then it was another six-hour descent back to the 7,300-foot point and a welcome car ride back to the hotel.
Kanda Shokai has been the Japanese distributor for Gretsch guitars since 1989. Says Fred Gretsch, "Kanda Shokai was recommended to the Gretsch Family by our long-time associate Duke Kramer. Dinah and I visited Japan several times in 1988 and 1989, and we agreed that Kanda had the product team and know-how to service the Gretsch market in Japan. They first offered Gretsch guitars for sale at the Tokyo show in the fall of 1989. And we've been going strong together ever since."
