Naturally trendy?
From time to time, there is discussion about whether the recent warming trend is due just to chance. We have heard arguments that so-called 'random walk' can produce similar hikes in temperature (any reason why the global mean temperature should behave like the displacement of a molecule in Brownian motion?). The latest in this category of discussions was provided by Cohn and Lins (2005), who in essence pitch statistics against physics. They observe that tests for trends are sensitive to the expectations, or the choice of the null-hypothesis .
Cohn and Lins argue that long-term persistence (LTP) makes standard hypothesis testing difficult. While it is true that statistical tests do depend on the underlying assumptions, it is not given that chosen statistical models such as AR (autoregressive), ARMA, ARIMA, or FARIMA do provide an adequate representation of the null-distribution. All these statistical models do represent a type of structure in time, be it as simple as a serial correlation, persistence, or more complex recurring patterns. Thus, the choice of model determines what kind of temporal pattern one expects to be present in the process analysed. Although these models tend to be referred to as 'stochastic models' (a random number generator is usually used to provide underlying input for their behaviour), I think this is a misnomer, and think that the labels 'pseudo-stochastic' or 'semi-stochastic' are more appropriate. It is important to keep in mind that these models are not necessarily representative of nature – just convenient models which to some degree mimic the empirical data. In fact, I would argue that all these models are far inferior compared to the general circulation models (GCMs) for the study of our climate, and that the most appropriate null-distributions are derived from long control simulations performed with such GCMs. The GCMs embody much more physically-based information, and do provide a physically consistent representation of the radiative balance, energy distribution and dynamical processes in our climate system. No GCM does suggest a global mean temperature hike as observed, unless an enhanced greenhouse effect is taken into account. The question whether the recent global warming is natural or not is an issue that belongs in 'detection and attribution' topic in climate research.
One difficulty with the notion that the global mean temperature behaves like a random walk is that it then would imply a more unstable system with similar hikes as we now observe throughout our history. However, the indications are that the historical climate has been fairly stable. An even more serious problem with Cohn and Lins' paper as well as the random walk notion is that a hike in the global surface temperature would have physical implications – be it energetic (Stefan-Boltzmann, heat budget) or dynamic (vertical stability, circulation). In fact, one may wonder if an underlying assumption of stochastic behaviour is representative, since after all, the laws of physics seem to rule our universe. On the very microscopical scales, processes obey quantum physics and events are stochastic. Nevertheless, the probability for their position or occurrence is determined by a set of rules (e.g. the Schrödinger's equation). Still, on a macroscopic scale, nature follows a set of physical laws, as a consequence of the way the probabilities are detemined. After all, changes in the global mean temperature of a planet must be consistent with the energy budget.

And, before anyone says cheesecloth, I tried to strain some honey several years ago with some cheese cloth that I bought at Wal-Mart and it didn't work very well for me. The cheese cloth seemed to absorb way to much honey and it was a pain in the butt getting it out!!
Where can you get an extractor for $200?
Or cut it for cut comb and sell it for $6 or more a pound and NOT buy the extractor and it's all profit.
then use the wax to make your wife those good smelling candles that sell for $5 and up! I've seen her go through 15 of them in a month's time. She likes to keep one going in every room!!
Quote from: TwTthere isn't a extractor for topbar hives, I dont think anyway,,, http://betterbee.com/products.asp?dept=916http://betterbee.com/departments2.asp?dept=466&bot=88Just got my new betterbee catalog today this is what it says about this extractor on page 55;"This extractor was originally built to extract frames from top bar hives."

I just got my Helmet in, And i have no clue how to begin painting and weathering it...any advice on the first steps i should take
I just got my Helmet in, And i have no clue how to begin painting and weathering it...any advice on the first steps i should take
Hey bud,
I dunno what lid you've got but have you trimmed out the visor and keyslots etc...?
If you have you might want to consider how you want to paint it, either topical or layered. the latter is is a little harder (from what I've read) there are plenty of threads with current paint jobs going on at the mo? so you might wanna have a quick read through those to gauge the do's and don't s.
The Helmet is ready to be painted the Visor and the Keyslot is trimmed out...i'm just not sure the best way to do topical painting, or how to use stencils and stuf for the battlewear
Topical - I think is easier of the two methods.
Paint the helmet in it's primary colours (Will depend on variant) e.g dome and cheeks olive green / mandibles red etc... then using the stencils you can either draw the damage on then apply the relevant paint colour... or go straight into the painting by free hand? If you need any ref pics just let me know bro.
is there any that i can like put on then Spray paint over?
also whats the best way to fix cracks...for example the thing peice at the bottom of the circut board on the helmet cracked staright through the fiberglass....how would i repair that
For weathering, I just paint a silvery color first, then the color you want it to be, then use a high grit sandpaper and carfully sand away top color in areas. Plus, is want it to look more aged, just water down ink and use a paper towel to paint it on then dab it away. I used this on my Revan armor is you'd like some pics.
P.S. Where on Earth does everyone get their helmets. I have no clue so I'm making my own custom. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...tom-Mando-Helm

Tibetan Prime Minister-in-exile Lobsang Sangay has said that China's repression in Tibet is getting worse by each passing day.
"Since the 2008 uprising in Tibet, the situation in Tibet has been getting worse. Particularly as of March this year it has become even more tense and urgent with the increasing cases of self-immolation by young Tibetans who find China's occupation and repression in Tibet intolerable. Tibetans are driven to these drastic acts to resist political repression, cultural assimilation, economic marginalisation and environmental destruction," Sangay told the media here.
Two young men in southwestern China had set themselves on fire on October 7 protesting against Chinese rule in Tibet. .cont/.... here

best feature: open floor plan
to do:
- reinforce structure
- add volume inside
- improve relationship to out doors
Perhaps no other house type has inspired as much love and loathing as the ranch. This descendant of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses became ubiquitous across the post–World War II landscape, and architects adore its open, one-story plan. But its plain exteriors and minimal detailing can elicit disgust among the general public. "We've never really warmed to the ranch the way we have with some other houses," says Marlene Heck, professor of art history at Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H.
Most ranch lovers and haters agree on its biggest flaw: shoddy construction methods. In its heyday, the 1950s and '60s, builders emphasized speed and efficiency over quality, and today's aging stock shows it. "I often deal with quality-of-construction issues when remodeling a ranch house," says Georgie Kajer. "We think about how to re-pipe, how to rewire, the condition of the foundation. Slab-on-grade doesn't fare well in earthquake country—we have to look really closely for cracks." Some areas may have better-built collections than others—Heather McKinney, AIA, swears by the solid construction of the '50s and '60s ranch houses in her home base of Austin, Texas. Generally, though, this house type's drywall walls, aluminum windows, and slab-on-grade foundations in warmer climates point to a weaker structure than that of its prewar counterparts.
While Kajer and McKinney often deal with ranches that open to the back yard in Cliff May fashion, their colleagues to the north and east aren't so lucky. "Ranches in the Midwest were more about type than about site," says John Senhauser, FAIA. "You're not getting that indoor-outdoor exposure. We usually try to connect the plan more to the site and extend the living area into the yard." For Evanston, Ill., architect Stuart Cohen, FAIA, establishing a relationship with the back yard mitigates the ranch's infamously low ceilings. "What can you do with 8-foot ceilings?" he says. "The character of the space still has to do with that incessant horizontality. You do what Wright did: make the whole exterior wall glass. Then you promote the horizontal continuity inside and the relationship between those spaces and the terraces outside."
Adding vertical volume also helps. "We try to give the clients one tall space," says McKinney. Sarah Susanka advocates adding a few ceiling height changes to break the 8-foot monotony. Of course, some ranch remodels strip off the entire original ceiling and add a second story, which is only recommended if the owners want a completely different house to the one they bought. "It's hard to keep it as a ranch if you add a second floor," says Stephen Muse, FAIA, of Washington, D.C., who recently turned a ranch into a shingle-style house by adding a second floor and revamping the exterior. "You have to rethink the entire house."

400 for just the panels

400 for just the panels
Christmas came early for all of us looking for these panels. Stormrider is offering these for a steal - check the cargo hold....
Im trying to get these as cheap as possible. I am pouring 8 today, and then I will see how much material it uses. and then I will know for sure the price. Sub 300, Hoping closer to 2.
Ok now your just showing off. LOL Seriously though awesome work.
Hope to get all your creations by mid January.
The most important thing I am doing right now is testing sellbuddy. The most help anyone could be for me, is to use their sellbuddy accounts (free) to sell their stuff in the cargo hold (again free).
It will stay free as long as people are only selling one listing at a time, but I need to get testers using it, buying AND selling.
As soon as I get some free time to catalog and take pictures I will use sellbuddy to sell some of my extra stuff. I seem to be buying stuff faster than I can get it worked up. I am upgrading stuff before I even get my Fett completed and have a lot of doubles.
That happens vultana, and thanks.
Just curious. What is the length and width (In inches please) of an actual Volvo panel? Width without the two screw tabs if possible.
Umm, ill have to check and get back to you. It in a box for moving. The rest were shipped.
Regarding the volvo panel
I just measured the base. 4 1/4 width by 12 7/8
If measuring from the edge top edge that flares out a bit it's more like 4 1/2 by 13 1/2 ( not including tabs )
And while I have the tape in my hand, height is 2 1/2
For those that do not know. IconicProps is helping me with shipping and communication. She will be helping to coordinate orders, and doing the updates. As well as taking care of coordinating the smaller runs going on (greeble kits, etc).
She was instrumental in helping me get things done before surgery and will be very active moving forward.
Greeblies for the HIC or other projects? I'm still on the lookout for HIC greeblies. Hope the recovery is going well!
I dont have the acurate greebles for the HICS, just the control panels and fronts. :(
For those of you that are on the fence about a HIC from Stormrider, DON'T BE!! His cast is perfect and of the highest quality. I received mine a few weeks ago and it was exactly what I expected. Thanks Storm!
I hope the next run of these fronts will come soon. I want one really bad!!!!!!!!
I second that opinion. I'm dying to get a hold of one of these things so I can get to work making my own displayable HIC! :)
Heu K Dawn64
First post, same subject...
Looks like we are both here for the same thing!!! :)
Stormrider....new to the forum and this is the only place I can post to get a hold of you untill Im considered a full member.
I tried to reply to this thread but it wont let me yet
Could you please put me down for 2 on this run please
Not sure how I can get in touch with you but could you possibly let me know when your next run is
Matt & Sheri
Attachment 74725
Hey, I was also wondering when your next run is. Maybe there is a few of us here in Australia that might get together on this? I'm on the Gold Coast.
I'm interested in a HiC front. Are they still available and if so, how much? I'm new to all this and I'm not a full member on this site yet, so forgive me if I'm asking very basic questions. :o)
I am interested in the HiC full cast if available.
Sent pm
and listing +1 for an order
I would be interested in a front as well in the next run.
I've sent a PM to Stormrider too, but no answer as yet. But I will be ready and waiting with my cash when he's ready to do some more of the fronts for the HiC!
I would like to be in on the next run.

ESPN Analyst Wonders Whether RGIII is Authentically Black; Cites Republican Rumors, White Fiancé
posted at 5:56 pm on December 13, 2012 by Guy Benson
Eighty-seven seconds of ignorant racial McCarthyism, courtesy of ESPN talking head Rob Parker:
Here's WaPo's summary of this clip, which is going mega-viral:
"This is an interesting topic," Parker said. "For me, personally, just me, this throws up a red flag, what I keep hearing. And I don't know who's asking the questions, but we've heard a couple of times now of a black guy kind of distancing himself away from black people. I understand the whole story of I just want to be the best," Parker continued. "Nobody's out on the field saying to themselves, I want to be the best black quarterback. You're just playing football, right? You want to be the best, you want to throw the most touchdowns and have the most yards and win the most games. Nobody is [thinking] that. But time and time we keep hearing this, so it just makes me wonder deeper about him," Parker went on. "And I've talked to some people down in Washington D.C., friends of mine, who are around and at some of the press conferences, people I've known for a long time. But my question, which is just a straight honest question. Is he a brother, or is he a cornball brother?"
What does that mean, Parker was asked. "Well, [that] he's black, he kind of does his thing, but he's not really down with the cause, he's not one of us," Parker explained. "He's kind of black, but he's not really the guy you'd really want to hang out with, because he's off to do something else." Why is that your question, Parker was asked. "Well, because I want to find out about him," Parker said. "I don't know, because I keep hearing these things. We all know he has a white fiancée. There was all this talk about he's a Republican, which, there's no information [about that] at all. I'm just trying to dig deeper as to why he has an issue. Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like I've got black skin but don't call me black. So people got to wondering about Tiger Woods early on." Then Skip Bayless asked Parker about RGIII's braids. "Now that's different," Parker said. "To me, that's very urban and makes you feel like…wearing braids, you're a brother. You're a brother if you've got braids on."
On one hand, the Redskins' star quarterback downplays his skin color in interviews, has a white fiancee, and has been dogged by whispers that he might be (gasp) a Republican. On the other hand, he has "urban" braids. So there's that. I think the most disgusting element of this screed is Parker's burning interest in "finding out" more about the rookie's views, as if there's some perverted "down-with-the-cause" racial purity test that Griffin has yet to pass. Parker hastens to mention that the Republican rumors are unfounded…for now. He might as well have added, "not that there's anything wrong with that." Although I suppose that would involve paying lip service to the notion that conservative political beliefs do not automatically make someone evil — a nod to tolerance of which Parker seems incapable. Also note the clip's fascinating conclusion, wherein Stephen A. Smith (!) steps in as the voice of reason on a sports controversy involving race.
Exit Questions (Allahpundit™): Rush Limbaugh was forced out by ESPN after he offered provocative race-related commentary about Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb in 2003. (1) Will the network sever ties with Parker? (2) Should they? (3) What the hell is a "cornball brother"?

Rudolph the Sexist Reindeer
With the holiday season just behind us, we're all probably a little tired of Christmas movies. Many, it seems, are tired of one specific movie: Rankin/Bass' "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". As a young child, I had my mother record this on VHS and I would watch it on loop until well into January.
It wasn't until I got this movie on DVD a few years ago that I began to notice that the movie isn't really that good. The animation is crude, even when compared to other stop motion animation of the time. The sound quality is a notch below what you hear in those singing Hallmark cards. The plot barely holds together under even the loosest scrutiny. Also, the messages in the movie are …

A couple of days ago, global banking platform vendor Temenos announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Odyssey Financial Technologies, which specializes in the private banking, private wealth management, and asset subverticals of financial services. The deal is expected to close around mid October: Temenos will pay more than 60 million euros and take on Odyssey's existing debt obligations of more than 20 million euros. Here is my initial reaction to the planned acquisition.
On the asset side, Temenos will get the private banking platform Triple'A Plus, portfolio management and decision support solution WealthManager, plus clients such as Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, Delta Lloyd, and RBS Coutts Bank. This will help Temenos accomplish the necessary extension to its private banking footprint: In spite of prominent private banking clients such as EFG Bank, over the past few years Temenos' T24 has not been as successful in the private banking/wealth management arena as, for example, ERI Bancaire, SunGard, or Tata Consultancy Services Financial Solutions as far as new named customers are concerned — not to mention the various regional private banking pure players.
At the same time, the Odyssey solutions will add additional technologies and architecture to Temenos' already existing acquired portfolio: Not considering the two "classic" Temenos banking platforms T24 and TCB and the mobile solutions of recently acquired specialist vendor FE-Mobile, Temenos acquired multiple smaller banking platform vendors over the past few years, including Financial Objects in the UK and Viveo in France, plus further firms such as business intelligence and reporting vendor Lydian Associates.

As the highest Boy Scout rank, Eagle Scouts must show leadership ability, service to others and a commitment to God and country. For achieving this difficult rank, the University of St. Thomas awarded scholarships to four freshmen for the first time this year.
Alex Carrejo, Brian Ehlinger, Cameron Hamilton and Joseph Jurica, the four Eagle Scouts, said their high school participation in Boy Scouts prepared them well for an education at UST.
"The required UST Freshman Symposium class focuses on thinking critically and teaching students to be leaders on and off campus," said Jurica, who plans to major in accounting. "As Eagle Scouts, these are skills we already possess."
All four young men said they plan to be active members of the UST community and become involved in campus outreach programs.
Ehlinger, also interested in accounting, is already participating in Best Buddies, a volunteer organization creating one-to-one friendships between students and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and he has joined the UST Knights of Columbus.
"Boy Scout camping trips let me bond with fellow scouts, help the younger members finish rank requirements, learn team building and become a leader," Ehlinger said. "These are all skills I will definitely use at St. Thomas."
Carrejo, who plans to major in biology, said he's finding his niche at UST as well.
"I like St. Thomas," Carrejo said. "I'm in a FOCUS Bible Study and I may join Knights of Columbus."
Hamilton, who plays guitar in the UST Rock Band and wants to major in music, said he appreciated the value St. Thomas placed on Eagle Scouts.
"The Eagle Scout scholarship was a huge deciding factor in choosing to come to UST," Hamilton said. "It helped me financially, and I like how much Eagle Scouts are recognized by St. Thomas."
The $1,000 scholarship was open to incoming freshmen and required an application and one-page letter of interest describing their Eagle Scout projects and the leadership skills they gained. The scholarship will be renewed provided the recipients maintain a 3.0 GPA.

Gomez, the nation's Eclipse Award-winning jockey in 2007, matched Jerry Bailey's 2003 record of 70 stakes wins when he guided Hucking Hot to victory in the Skirball-Kenis a year ago. He also rode Pussycat Doll to victory in 2005.
Solar Miss, owned by Eric Jensen, will face eight other 3-year-old fillies in the 1 1/8-mile turf race, which lines up as follows from the rail out:
Stroppy, with Michael Baze up, carries 115 pounds; Mohaka, Victor Espinoza, 115; Set of Wings, David Flores, 115; You Lift Me Up, Mike Smith, 119; Miss Singhsix, Alex Solis, 117; Solar Miss, Gomez, 117; Sensational Love, Rafael Bejarano, 117; Famous Ruby, Joel Rosario, 121, and Fire n' Brimstone, Tyler Baze, 115.
Miss Singhsix, an Irish-bred daughter of Singspiel, finished fourth in the Ramser following a second in the Torrey Pines at Del Mar. The Paddy Gallagher-trained filly has two wins in six starts.
Famous Ruby, owned and trained by Jorge Alcala, posted an upset win in the Cal Cup Matron in her last start and is three-for-seven overall. She finished off the board in her lone turf start to date.
Jerry Hollendorfer will saddle You Lift Me Up, who finished sixth in the Miss America at Golden Gate Fields in September. Prior to that, she won a minor stakes at the Bay Meadows fair meet in August. Claimed for $32,000 five starts back, she is four-for-15 overall.
Fire n' Brimstone and Mohaka finished second and third respectively in an allowance race at nine furlongs on turf in October; Stroppy finished third in the Cal Cup Matron before being claimed for $32,000; Set of Wings aims for her second win in her fifth start, and Sensational Love finished fourth behind You Lift Me Up in the Bay Meadows stake.
The Audrey Skirball-Kenis will run as the eighth race on Saturday's nine-race program at Hollywood Park. First post time is 12:30 p.m.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:05am
BALTIMORE – Inside Lacrosse has announced that LacrosseForums.com has relaunched and now features newer software, expanded user profiles and a fresh design that's consistent with the rest of the IL Network of sites.
The Lacrosse Forums is the preeminent home for online lacrosse discussion — from stringing tips to instructional advice to debate on the best players — and is nearing 75,000 registered members. Inside Lacrosse acquired LacrosseForums.com in 2005 when there were fewer than 3,000 registered users. Since promoting the site on InsideLacrosse.com and in Inside Lacrosse Magazine, the site has mirrored the rapid growth of the sport over the last seven years and continued to expand.
This latest evolution of LacrosseForums.com will allow users to fill out more robust profiles, most notably giving them the ability to upload photos of their own "Weapon of Choice", a feature that has become popular on ILGear.com and shows the top players' lacrosse sticks. TLF users will now be able to upload photos of their lacrosse sticks, as well as complete photo albums, and fill out more information about themselves and their lacrosse profiles, including their favorite equipment, movies and music.
"This update to LacrosseForums.com has been a long time coming. TLF has the biggest and greatest community of lacrosse fans and players, and they deserve to have the most up-to-date and comprehensive forum to continue their passionate discussion about this sport," said IL Vice President/Editor-in-Chief John Jiloty. "I can't wait to see all the Weapon of Choice photos that come in from our great users. That feature has been a huge hit in Inside Lacrosse Magazine and on ILGear.com, and I think our TLF users will really enjoy it."
In addition to nearing 75,000 registered members, LacrosseForums.com recently went over the 2 million post mark, and added more mobile functionality via the Tapatalk app for smartphones and tablets.
ILGear.com, Inside Lacrosse's newest site after launching in April, 2012, has been regularly tapping a host of TLF users to share content, most notably expert stick-stringing featured in the Stick Doctor's Lounge Forum, with IL's readers.
"In addition to the expanded profiles and other new features, this launch updates software that had become many years old and was difficult to modify," said IL Director of Technology Wes Craft. "Having this new foundation will allow us to continue improving the feature set, and most importantly, the experience for our users and moderators."
Be sure to check out the new LacrosseForums.com, and, if you're not registered already, become a member today (it's free and easy). TLF is an ESPN.com affiliate and also features the largest equipment classifieds in the game.

The dance terminology in Hungary is a mix of English and Hungarian phrases. The name of some steps got translated, others have not. Sometimes it is very confusing. I heard one story related to this. A top Hungarian couple was taking lessons abroad and they asked the teacher to show them the step called 'Hunter'. The teacher had no clue of course! The solution was sg with 'chase' in it which got translated to Hungarian as hunter among the teachers.
My second question is about the jive again. The opinions seemed to differ on whether the heel should touch the floor or not on the rock step. Could someone check it in the book? I know it is a shame that I still not have a copy. (An online version would be nice.) I had no problem putting my heel down and extending the leg fully while maintaining a strong forward projection by sending only the left hip back. I cannot tell how much weight I put on the moving leg. I would rather describe it this way: I push the floor away with my foot by rolling from toes to flat position on the left while rolling to toes on the right.

U.S. playing catch-up in offshore wind race
With excellent wind resources off the U.S. East Coast, it's high time wind energy developers start investing in the region. A promising start might be underway off the coast of Maine, where Statoil is working to develop a floating turbine.
The United States lags notoriously behind Europe in its development of offshore wind energy resources, despite the fact that the eastern seaboard of the U.S. offers some of the best wind resources in the world. The Obama Administration has worked fairly aggressively over the last four years to streamline permitting for offshore wind energy development, and the U.S. Department of the Interior has help move along the Cape Wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts.
Some of the best wind energy can be found along the Maine coast, and that state has placed itself in the middle of offshore wind turbine development. The University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center, in particular, deserves much credit for its efforts to develop wind blade research and development facilities and technologies conducive to Maine's deep seawaters.
It's those deep waters that make Maine such a challenge. Relatively shallow water in the North Sea (north of Germany) and off the English coast allow wind turbine towers to be anchored directly in sea bed. That's not an option off the coast of Maine, however, which has pushed the state of Maine and its partners toward floating turbine designs.
Maine took a big step down this road on Jan. 24 when its Public Utilities Commission approved terms of a project by Norway's Statoil to build a $120 million deepwater floating wind turbine demonstration project in the Gulf of Maine. Statoil has experience with floating platforms and is likely the best resource for the Main effort.
Statoil has agreed to locate its project operations center for the project in Maine, and it has established a collaborative research and development relationship with the University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center.
Critics worry that energy from the project will be unaffordable. At the very least, the project will help prove (or disprove) the viability of floating turbines, and may help guide other offshore farms in development along the U.S. coast.

Use lock-tite a fair amount myself... I'd use it in a heart beat!
There are three colors that I know of:
Blue- light/medium weight use. It can be easily removed. (Great for grips and frequently removed screws)
Green- Can be applied to screws in place. (hard to find)
Red- Considered to be for heavy use. Takes a fair amount of heat to remove... (I use this for screws I don't normally remove)

Now with iOS 5, you can create and activate custom touch-gestures that will control your touch screen when activated.
iOS 5 is packed with over 200 new features. I hope all of Modmyi's readers didn't think that the short list on Apple's website was all that there was to look forward to in iOS 5. So far, we've discovered that you can make custom text tones. Well now, you can also make custom touch gestures. Here's how:
You Will Need:
- An iDevice running iOS 5.
To start, you need to go into your Settings app. From there, go into your general section:
Next, scroll down and go into the Accessibility section:
After that, scroll down and go into the AssistiveTouch section:
Once you are in the AssistiveTouch section, flip the AssistiveTouch switch to the, "on" position, and then tap on, "Create New Gesture...".
Upon doing so, you will open a UI where it asks you to, "Touch to create a custom gesture".
For this guide, I drew a circle. After you draw the circle, tap on the blue, "Save" button at the top right of the screen:
Now, if you go back to the AssistiveTouch menu, you will see your gesture in the menu of gestures to choose from:
Now that we've actually created a gesture, we can try it out. For this tutorial I will be using an app from the App Store known as Zen Brush. It's a high quality brush app that can be downloaded in the App Store for $2.99 if you would like to try it. I also recommend it for joy-drawing purposes, but that's besides the point. Once I open Zen Brush, I'm going to tap on the AssistiveTouch button at the bottom right of the screen:
Tapping it will open a heads up display. The four options are: Favorites, Device, Home, and Gestures. Tap on Favorites:
That will present you with another heads up display, this time tap the gesture that you created; in this case, Circle:
When you do that, a blue circle will appear. This is called your tracer. The tracer lets you know where your finger was when you started the gesture:
Now just tap anywhere on the screen and the tracer will trace your gesture across the screen. Tapping in different areas will activate the gesture on different locations of the screen. As you can see in the image below, it drew an exact replica of the gesture that I drew earlier:
This new feature in iOS 5 has a ton of kickbacks. For one, if you're lazy and don't feel like flicking your finger a thousand times to scroll down a very long webpage, you can create a scrolling gesture so that all you need to do is tap the screen and the gesture will scroll down for you. Another thing you can do is make automated gestures for games. This video, compliments of Cult of Mac, shows these features in depth based on usage:
This new feature makes people will hand disorders more iPhone friendly. If you have a bad wrist, or hand and find flicking your fingers difficult, the purpose of this feature is to allow you to simply tap to perform a complex touch action. But that doesn't mean that the more fortunate of us can't take advantage of this cool feature. You can set it to automatically scroll down your notification center, to automatically play Angry Birds for you, or even to make scrolling less of a workout. Whatever the choice that you choose to implement this feature with, I feel it's truly a welcome functionality to my device simply because it's cool. This feature is available on all devices that run iOS 5; so iPod touches, iPhones, and iPads alike.
Will you be showing your friends that you can make your iPhone play angry birds for you? Share what you might do with this feature below!

text: Yes I did. I said he would flash some of the youngsters in there, but really go with Stuckey, Hayes, Theo, and Dixon as his main bench guys. This was a slam on the average fan, who would imagine that our youngsters got to play, and not notice how little they played. The other part, about us losing, you know that I have said we can't win with Afflalo not playing. On the energy thing, Flip pretty much says that after every loss. Never mind Theo was his first sub, and brings no energy. Never mind that Dyess was leg dead so bad he could not get his legs warmed up until the end of the first quarter. Never mind Sheed had a bum ankle and could move no faster. Never mind Philly went big in this game, playing Iguidala at shooting guard so he could totally overwhelm Rip. It was atrocious coaching, not any lack of energy. PS, and shame on the fans who cheer on Saunders as he tears the team down. I know its a minority, but all it takes is a few cheerleaders like this and Flip will use that as justification to stay the course toward disaster. Oh, and I forgot to mention Tay is leg dead again. He could not possibly have hit an outside shot last night. And don't blame Sheed for not going inside much. With the rest of the team off on their shooting, Philly could too easily pack the middle on us.

Hatters Top Maine 6-3 to Open Weekend Series
After struggling to generate hits during the opening weekend of the 2013 season, the Stetson Hatters bounced back on Thursday night, banging out 15 hits to take a 6-3 victory over the visiting Maine Black Bears.
Eight of the nine Stetson starters had at least one hit in the game, and five had at least two hits. Freshman first baseman Patrick Mazeika continued his hot hitting, banging out four hits, including an RBI double in the third.
Stetson evened its season record at 2-2 with the victory while Maine dropped its fifth straight to start the season.
"I am very pleased, overall, with the way we swung the bats," Hatters coach Pete Dunn said. "We had 15 hits, and that is a lot better than what we did last weekend. I am not sure if we had 15 hits all weekend. We've still got a long way to go, but we kept plugging away.
"With a young team like this you have to move one step at a time, and I think we took a step tonight that we can build on."
The Hatters could have easily gotten frustrated early in the game after getting runners on base in each of the first two innings. Stetson was unable to turn those chances into runs, however, because Maine turned double plays to get out of both frames.
"That was a good ball club out there for Maine," Dunn said. "They are a veteran club with a really good shortstop. We squared some balls up early in the game and they were able to turn those into double plays."
The Black Bears got on the board first in the game, scoring a single unearned run in the third inning off Stetson starter Kurt Schluter. Sam Balzano reached to start the inning on an error, stole second and then moved up and scored on ground outs.
The Hatters answered in their half of the inning off Maine starter Luke Morrill when Mazeika delivered a two-out double to score Tyler Bocock, who had walked.
The game remained tied at 1-1 until the sixth inning when Maine got a pair of one-out singles and then scored on a ground out by Fran Whitten, who by that time had taken over pitching duties for the Black Bears.
The Maine lead lasted until the seventh inning when the Hatters strung together four consecutive hits against Whitten (0-1), with the big blow being a two-run double by James Rasmussen to put Stetson in the lead. The Hatters added two more runs in the eighth inning on two-out singles by Kevin Fagan and Bocock.
"It was obvious that the couple of runs we scored there in the eighth inning made it a whole different ball game," Dunn said. "I am proud of the guys for the way they battled."
The Black Bears refused to go quietly in the ninth inning, loading the bases off junior Austin Perez (1-0) before freshman left-hander Adam Schaly came in to get a strikeout, a sacrifice fly and a line out to second to end the game, earning his first collegiate save.
"I thought Schluter threw the ball well early," Dunn said. "AP came in and pitched well and then Schaly came in and finished. He wasn't real sharp, but he did what he had to do with a four run lead."
In addition to the four hits from Mazeika, the Hatters got two hits each from Bocock, Rasmussen, Mitchel Brennan and Carlos Garmendia. Alex Calbick and Troy Black had two hits each to lead Maine.
"We have still got to play better defense," Dunn said. "We are not making the routine plays. We were lucky that we dodged a bullet early and got out of some innings where we made mistakes. The most glaring thing in the game tonight was our poor defense."
The Hatters will attempt to take the second game of the series on Friday night when freshman right-hander Josh Powers makes his second start of the year. Powers allowed just one run on five hits last week in his season debut.
"I am confident in Powers because you always know what you are going to get out of him," Dunn said. "All you can ask from him is to go out and give us the same kind of start he gave us last week, which was a really quality start."
The second game of the weekend series is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. start on Friday night.

La Tasca plans expansion in D.C. and beyond
D.C.-based tapas chain La Tasca is rolling out a revamped menu from a new executive chef in preparation for an expansion, according to company President Javier Candón.
Candón envisions two to three more La Tasca locations in D.C. or the immediate suburbs, and then he wants to take the concept to another major city. The company is looking for space in Georgetown and Dupont Circle, he added.
La Tasca has hired chef Josu Zubikarai, who opened pioneering Spanish restaurant Taberna del Alabardero in the District in 1989. Since he came on board in February, the Spanish chef has been looking at the menu from top to bottom, Candón said at a tasting event Wednesday night.
Besides designing dishes that will go on menus at five existing La Tasca locations, Zubikarai has taken a closer look at the Spanish staples the restaurant is known for, such as Spanish tortilla, croquetas de jamón and paellas, Candón said.
"To do Spanish food in the right way, you really have to have your basics very firm and be very consistent," Candón said. "Where he had the most impact was reviewing those over and teaching us the basics."
Some of the new menu items that La Tasca is currently testing with audiences include a chilled tomato soup topped with egg and jamón Serrano, butterflied shrimp and sliced avocado over mixed greens, crispy miniature sardine sandwiches with piquillo sauce and roasted quail stuff with poultry mousse and mushrooms.

The Canisius College men's lacrosse team pulled to within one after trailing by as many as five goals in the second half but Siena held off the charge for a 10-7 win in conference play on Saturday afternoon. The loss drops the Griffs to 4-5 on the season and 1-2 in MAAC play, while the Saints improve to 6-3 and 3-0 against conference foes with the win.
"We knew that this was going to be a 60-minute battle with a lot of momentum changes but we just dug ourselves too big of a hole in the first three quarters," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "Too many careless turnovers and some bad decisions cost us early and Siena capitalized. We showed a lot of resolve and clawed our way back into the game with seven minutes left but we didn't score on some good opportunities late and Siena was able to kill the last minute of the game. We have to play 60 minutes of lacrosse – it's that simple."
Seven different players scored for the Griffs in the defeat. Sophomore Vince Gravino and freshman Jeff Edwards both recorded a goal to go along with one assist, while juniors Sam Connors, Cody Gould and Austin Romantic and sophomores Billy Jacobbi and Nick Tuttle each added a tally.
Junior Alex Govenettio recorded six saves for Canisius.
Junior Brandon Bull led the Griffs at the faceoff X, winning a career-best 10 restarts in just 13 attempts (76.9 percent).
A slow start for Canisius to the game proved to be the key to the Siena victory. The Saint controlled the first 44 minutes of action and held the Griffs to just two tallies, while building a 7-2 advantage.
The Griffs then attempted a comeback, starting with a man-up goal by Gravino with just 59 seconds left in the third quarter. A goal by Romantic with two seconds remaining in the period pulled the Griffs to within three, 7-4, heading into the game's final quarter.
Siena netted the first goal of the fourth quarter but a three-goal run by the Griffs pulled the team to within one, 8-7, with 7:37 remaining in the contest. Edwards scored his first of the day with 12:11 remaining and then set up Connors just 72 seconds later for the 8-6 game. Gould then finished the run with an unassisted tally as Canisius pulled to within one for the first time since the score was 2-1 early in the second period.
Canisius had possession in the offensive zone with a chance to tie the game but the Saints took advantage of a turnover and doubled its lead to two with 4:02 remaining. Siena then added one final goal to hold on for the 10-7 MAAC victory.
The Griffs finished the game with a 33-30 advantage in shots and a 28-24 edge in ground balls. Canisius also won the battle at the faceoff X, 12-8.
Richie Hurley led the Saints with seven points, three goals and four assists. Tommy Cordts recorded nine saves to earn the win in net.
Canisius is back in action next Saturday, hosting Manhattan in conference action. First faceoff is set for noon at the Demske Sports Complex.
Game Notes: Tuttle, who earned his first collegiate start at the midfield, now has five goals in the last three games after scoring once in his first 19 career games … Canisius has scored a man-up goal in each of the last three games (five goals total) after scoring just once in the first six games of the season … The Griffs had a season-low 10 turnovers in the game … Canisius did not commit a single penalty for the first time this season … Siena committed just seven turnovers in the game (a season-low for a Canisius opponent).

Holbie Blast Rare Omaha Sight In 2013
By Bobby Hundley, UNC Athletic Communications
OMAHA --- Much digital ink has been spilled debating the merits of TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, the 3-year-old home of the College World Series. Brian Holberton's first-inning home run there Tuesday was the 21st in CWS play at the venue and the first hit out to right-center. In addition to dimensions that make the park more pitcher-friendly than Rosenblatt Stadium, TDAPO is equipped with Dodger Stadium-esque foul territory that turns many a harmless foul pop into an out.
Whether you enjoy that the college game -- especially as it is played in Omaha -- has become a throwback where pitching and defense rule the day or you yearn for the days of "Gorilla Ball" and double-digit scoring, it certainly cannot be denied that runs in the CWS are at a premium perhaps unlike ever before. In the final three years at Rosenblatt, runs were scored at a rate of 11.6 per game. Through the end of Oregon State's 1-0 win over Indiana Wednesday, runs at TDAPO have come at a 7.0 runs per game clip.
Holberton had one of the more unique lines you'll see Tuesday, finishing 2 for 4 with the two-run homer as well as a single and a sacrifice bunt.
"Out here you always want to play with a lead," Holberton said Wednesday after practice at Boys Town. "It's hard to get runs out here with the competition and the pitching, and if you can get a run, you've gotta try and get it."
The junior catcher's seventh inning sacrifice moved Colin Moran into scoring position, and two batters later Skye Bolt's sharp single to left scored Moran with a key insurance run that pushed the Tar Heel lead to 4-1. That run loomed even larger when LSU scratched out a run in the bottom of the frame, as no team in the 114-game history of TDAPO -- CWS games, Creighton home games and others -- has ever rallied from a two-run ninth-inning deficit.
"Earlier in the year, we'd score a lot of runs, and it would be good to have those, but you can't rely on the big innings anymore," Holberton added. "You've gotta take runs when you can get them. If you get a runner on base, you've gotta bunt him over. I think that's what every team out here is going to try to do - play a little small ball and get the lead and try to keep it. I think that's how we're going to approach the rest of the year."
In addition to opportunistic offense, a steady defense that can take advantage of the real estate inside the walls of TDAPO is key to success in the "new" Omaha.
Chaz Frank stressed the importance not only of running down fly balls but of keeping balls that do get down out of the gaps.
"With the park not being a home run park, runs are hard to come by," Frank said. "Teams have to execute -- hit-and-runs, bunts, stuff like that. It's very beneficial that we've got speed in the outfield that can track down those balls and keep them off second base. That's what we try to do is keep them off second base and allow our pitchers to maybe get a double play ball to get us out of an inning."
"I think any time you come out here, you know pitching and defense are going to win," assistant coach Scott Jackson said. "So you want to talk to your guys as much as you can and have an idea in mind of how important those outs are and how much room you have for balls that are in the air."
Trent Thornton and Chris McCue allowed 10 hits to LSU on Tuesday, but only Sean McMullen's leadoff double in the seventh was of the extra base variety. Keeping the Tigers from driving the ball to the gaps helped the Tar Heels strand 13 LSU runners.
"We've talked to our guys about making sure they understand where they are, making sure they understand the situation and being a lot more careful late in the game with balls that we can hopefully keep in front of us and play to a single instead of a double," Jackson said.
Carolina's last eight wins have come by a margin of three runs or less. Four of those, including the 18-inning win over NC State in the ACC tournament, were one-run games.
As Hobbs Johnson takes the mound for the Tar Heels on Thursday against the Wolfpack in what will be the rubber game in a five-game season series, expect TD Ameritrade Park and how both teams adjust to its challenges to play a major factor. And expect both teams to value each and every precious run.

TROY, N.Y. - Behind 11 shutout innings of relief from MAAC Championship MVP Taylor Sewitt, the Manhattan College Japsers defeated the Canisius College baseball team 3-2 in the title game of the 2012 MAAC Championship at Joe Bruno Stadium on Sunday afternoon to repeat as conference champions. The Golden Griffins finish the 2012 season with a 33-27 overall record.
Canisius scored first for the fourth straight game of the weekend, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first. Freshman Mike Krische led off with a single and sophomore Jose Torralba and freshman Connor Panas followed with walks, chasing Manhattan starter Matt Jordan from the game. Sophomore Jimmy Luppens then scored two runs with a single up the middle to put Canisius ahead 2-0 after the first inning. Manhattan cut the lead in half in the top of the third as Yoandry Galan doubled with one out and scored on an RBI single from Nick Camastro. The Jaspers tied the game in the fourth as Joe McClennan reached with a one-out double and eventually came around to score on a wild pitch.
Manhattan loaded the bases with one out in the seventh but junior Jason Rubenstein came in and got Ramon Ortega to pop out and struck out Brendan Slattery to get out of the jam. The Jaspers had another threat in the eighth as they got runners to second and third with one out. Rubenstein got a comeback groundball to force McClennan into a rundown. Freshman Eric Stolzenburg then got Anthony Vega to hit a grounder to second to end the threat.
Canisius could never get a runner past first base in the final four innings and did not get a runner to third base after the first inning. Sophomore Jesse Kelso led off the eighth with a single but was thrown out on a sacrifice bunt attempt from junior Brooklyn Foster. Krische led off the ninth by going the other way but Manhattan (33-25) first baseman Ryan Murphy made a leaping catch to rob Krische of a hit.
Manhattan scored the winning run in the 11th as Galan drew a leadoff walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Sophomore Jon Fitzsimmons came into the game and struck out Camastro looking for the second out of the inning. Murphy then found a hole on the right side of second base, hitting the ball softly enough that Krische had no chance to attempt a throw home on the game-winning RBI single. Canisius got a one-out single from sophomore Ronnie Bernick in the 11th but couldn't mount a rally.
Sewitt allowed five hits and walked three while striking out five in the 11 innings of work, which included 153 pitches. Sewitt (11-1) didn't allow a run in 22 innings in the tournament as he earned the win in three of Manhattan's four victories.
Canisius used seven pitchers on the day. Freshman Rohn Pierce started and allowed two runs in six-plus innings, striking out four. Freshman Aaron Capser (2-1) ended up taking the loss as he walked the leadoff batter in the 11th.
Notes: Three Golden Griffins earned All-Tournament Team honors - Foster (6-for-14), Bernick (5-for-15) and sophomore Garrett Cortright. Cortright went eight innings (allowing one earned run) in the opener and then threw two shutout innings of relief on Sunday... Canisius played in the winter-takes-all title game of the MAAC Championship game for the second time in program history (2009)... Canisius and Manhattan met in the MAAC Championship for the seventh time since 2008, with the Jaspers winning the last three meetings... The Griffs end 2012 with a 5-13 record in one-run games and 3-4 record in extra-inning games.


text: Very disturbing loss. SA has taken it to us twice--opened up big leads twice, out executed us twice. They pulled away on cue. THEY EXECUTE BETTER THAN WE DO. Keep in mind they are using over the hill guys like Horry and Barry. Troubling. When the other team stops Webber, the offense defaults to the old playbook or to put it another way, to a poor offense. The elite teams will go after Billips and Rip. Expect that. It happened two years ago and it happened last year. No, it is not poor shooting; it is poor offense. The reason it works is that Tay is not used in the flow. Indeed, there is little passing or flow. Tay is a weapon catching and shooting and catching and driving. His post up game is actually overused and not his best asset. Other teams would use him as a deadly shooter who can also get to the hoop. Notice who actually steps up in big games. Tay. They have trouble stopping him AND focusing on our guards. Rip couldn't be truly stopped if he stayed to his mid-range game. Somehow, he thinks that he has to drive. Not only does he not finish, he gets banged up. A coach uses his pieces to sharp, deadly precisicion. Not our coach. Enough of the Sheed three ball. One or two a game.

Private Educational Alternative Loans
Private Educational Alternative Loans
While Bloomsburg University does not encourage excessive borrowing, we realize that not all students can meet their educational expenses with traditional sources of financial aid. Private Educational Alternative Loans are available through many lenders. We encourage student borrowers to carefully investigate these loan programs. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid prior to pursuing Private Educational Alternative Loans. Students should first exhaust all other sources of funding including Federal Direct Student Loan, additional Federal Direct Student Unsubsidized Loan based upon Parent PLUS Denial, Federal Direct PLUS Loan (undergraduate only), and Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan(graduate only) before borrowing a Private Educational Alternative Loan.
- Undergraduates & Graduates: Compare the benefits of borrowing a Federal Direct Student Loan before a Private Educational Alternative Loan.
- Undergraduates: Compare the benefits of borrowing a Federal Direct PLUS Loan before a Private Educational Alternative Loan.
- Graduates: Compare the benefits of borrowing a Federal Direct GradPLUS Loan before a Private Educational Alternative Loan.
If the student borrower has an insufficient credit history and/or proof of income, a co-signer will be required. (Although a graduate student may have sufficient credit to obtain a Private Educational Alternative Loan on their own, ask the lender if the fee(s)/interest rate would be reduced on a graduate level loan if there were a co-signer.)
Lenders may charge a fee on a Private Educational Alternative Loan. Many times the fee is based on the credit history of the co-signer.
Private Educational Alternative Loans do not have a cap on the interest you will be charged. Interest rates may be adjusted monthly or quarterly, depending on the loan product you choose.
Do not borrow excessively. The Private Educational Alternative Loan you are applying for, as well as your Federal Stafford Loan, will go into repayment typically six months after you graduate or drop to less-than half-time enrollment (less than six credits). Grace periods on Private Educational Alternative Loans vary by lender. Remember you will also have other expenses (rent, car payments, insurance, and utilities) after graduation. Do not overwhelm yourself with debt burden.
We recommend that if you have utilized a Private Educational Alternative Loan in the past, you remain with that lender. This will help limit the number of repayment obligations you will incur.
We suggest that you contact individual lenders to obtain as much information on the loan product prior to making a decision on which loan you will apply for. If you have "special circumstances" (not making satisfactory progress, less-than-half time enrollment, non-degree student, or past due balance) pick a loan product that will lend for your specific circumstance(s).
Information you may want to obtain and compare when deciding which loan is best for you is:
- How will the interest rate be determined and how frequently is the interest rate adjusted?
- How often will interest be capitalized (added to the principle of the loan)? The more frequently interest is capitalized, the more it will cost you.
- Will you be charged a fee? How is the fee determined? Would the fee be reduced with a co-signer? Are there any additional fees at the time of repayment?
- Is there a penalty for early repayment?
- Does this loan have a grace period after enrollment ceases? When will repayment start? How long do you have to repay the loan? Does the lender offer any repayment incentives or repayment options?
- How many payments must be made prior to a co-signer being released from obligation?
- Are deferments of principle/interest available for continuing education or any other reason?
- Is there a maximum/minimum amount allowed in an academic year? (Most lenders will limit the amount of a Private Educational Alternative Loan to the cost of education minus any other aid. This may, in some cases, require the Office of Financial Aid to reduce the amount that you have requested even though you have been credit approved for a higher loan amount.)
- Will your loan be serviced by the original lender for the life of the loan?
After reviewing the information on the various Private Educational Alternative Loans, complete only one application. Applying for several loans will slow down the process and could adversely affect your credit rating. Return the loan application directly to the lender, not to the Office of Financial Aid.

What's in a name?
27 April 2013 , 8:16 AM by Rob Minshull
This weekend, Warren Boland is asking his listeners how they came up with the name for the family pet. Was it a name you weren't allowed to call the children? Or maybe your family pet is named after an old friend or favourite film star?
The RSPCA has just carried out a survey on Queensland's most popular name for dogs and, interestingly, there is a definite trend towards "human" names for our four-legged friends.
Warren is talking to the RSPCA's Michael Beatty.

I called my dog Pipsqueak...he was so little he fitted in the palm of my hand. I showed the children and they both said , it's just a little pipsqueak ...he is now 14 and his name has been shortened to a squeak and is a much loved member of the family ...

I've had a few land on the arm of my glasses and burn the side of my face before I can shake the casing off. Should I send it back to Sig to fix, or is there something I'm doing wrong? I've got a solid two hand grip, no limp wristing. Is there an extractor issue I could fix myself? Thanks for any idea's.

Discussion in 'January 2009' started by Dlev59, Jan 21, 2009.
After a great game like tonight's, Sheed is bound to disappear.
You know him well my man...
Actually, he did sit for a few minutes in the 4th, and JMAX held the fort well while he took a rest. Dyess had a split personality in this one. Jump shooter, working for the other team. Working inside, working for us. Everyone look at what Dyess did inside tonight. Yes, he can play inside. Someone tell him to give up his pansy jumpshot game, which mostly just makes the other team rejoice.
AI hurt us early. We were up by eight and then AI started missing shots. He did make some nice plays in the fourth quarter. The issue is not that he can't play. Curry is afraid to take him out when his shot is off. Then he still plays small ball a few minutes in the 4th because Rip is not getting his minutes. AI hit 9 of 10 free throws but four were when the Pistons had the game. Otherwise, 5 of 15. If he were Billips or any other player, he would have sat on the bench. But the key is not AI but the bigs. When Sheed or any big plays well, the Pistons are at a higher level. We played at mid-pack level but there were signs of who we were. Let's see if the AI intangible will help against Cavs or Boston.
If Sheed played like that every game, this team would be 2 or 3 time champions..... Too bad he doesn't get to go up against Al and the Timberwolves frontline every day.
what roscoe said "Good win on the road against a hot team." exactly
Lee, agree, Dyss showed he could play inside.
Nice win. Minnesota showed some talent, why they have won 10 of 12 of late. Curry did not do anything too crazy. Nothing you can point to as a mistake really. Small ball? Maybe 4 minutes that Rip played small forward. Thats it. Too big? Minnesota goes big enough on their front line that the Dyess / Sheed duo is ok. And gee, Dyess was playing inside quite a bit in this one. Still too many jumpers, but he gave a lot of key scoring inside. The one jumper late helped a lot too I must confess. And he had a double double to boot. Sheed got a serious double double himself with 25 points. Yes, Jefferson scored a lot on him. But man, Jefferson really does have some talent. Can't say the shots were not defended. Jefferson missed enough too. So Sheed guarded their best player, scored a ton, with clutch shots in crunchtime, manned the boards, and came up with 5 steals. I guess you could call him the best player in this game. Yes, he played 40 minutes, but we just had two days rest. And no, we don't play tomorrow night. AI missed a bunch of shots. Got scored on some. But he scored 19, just about all at the basket or at the free throw line. I'll take that everytime. Getting them in foul trouble is great. Rip managed to score double digits, though he shot poorly from outside. I liked seeing him finish a couple of fast breaks at the hoop. His minutes, not anywhere near 30. Closer to 20. He is coming off the bench. AI, a starter, and Stuckey too, I believe got 40 minutes. Stuckey did most of his damage like AI, at the hoop, or at the line. Yes, we won this one at the line. Just AI and Stuckey made more free throws than the bad guys. 14 points for Stuckey. Afflalo and Maxiell played, but little. Neither did much. Just added some defensive effort. Amir scored on a fast break, was never posted up, or otherwise took a shot. a couple of blocks were his highlights. But, you can't underestimate how much his sharp defensive rotating helps us. Shadowing the ball as their point brings it up, getting to his guy easily before they can take advantage. Another win with Amir starting. Anyone want to guess just what our record is with Amir starting vs. not? Tay made some shots, played fine D. Boston is Friday, at the Palace. From what I could see, no Piston was looking past tonight's game. The team needed this one. Good win. GO PISTONS!!!!! PS, absolutely, I think Kwame should have played some to help check Jefferson. Get the guy involved.
You are discounting all the fouls AI was drawing. Not every foul drawn gets you to the line. But Telfair was sitting in foul trouble, and that helped us. Both AI and Stuckey were helping by getting to the hoop and drawing fouls. Also, note, AI missed two or three layups, so don't anyone think he was just shooting jumpers. I'd say he only took one bad shot.
I mentioned that in the chat earlier...AI should play like that everygame...just forget the jumpers and attack the basketball...i can live with AI missing layups as long as he's being aggressive...
Wasn't it Max who threw it back? You're right. Interestingly, Max played much better in the 2nd stint. Love was schooling him for a bit there.
LoL, smirk. Hmmm. Maybe he should attack the basket?
Lee, four of AI's foul shots came when they had to foul in the last seconds. He did get a few non-shooting fouls, yes. But his early 0 for 4 or 5 absolutely stopped our momentum. I think we were down 18-16 after being up 14-6. It took us the whole game to regain the momentum. At some point, a player has to hit shots. This is not just one game. Let's see if he can get to the line/change the pace of the game against the cavs or Celts. I presume that is why he is here--to give the Pistons a better chance at the top teams. Meanwhile, Rip got 22 minutes. Did Rip play that bad and AI that good?
I'd take AI's game over Rip's any day. Rip was missing badly on his jumpers in the 2nd quarter, shots that had zero chance of ever drawing a foul. Yes, I feel for the guy, having to come in cold like that. But AI goes to the rack so much, him being cold on his outside shots is not so important. Heck, Rip even missed a pair of free throws - before then making up for it, and the other missed shots, with his triple. The combination of Stuckey and AI being a threat to go inside is something the other team has to spend major time on trying to come up with defensive schemes. I love it. No way I want Rip's jump shots back in the starting unit.
no, its just a case of MC not knowing where to find minutes for one of his best players.
The only place the extra minutes will come from is a reduction in AI's PT. I don't understand why it's so hard for him to find a balance. None of the guards need to be playing 38+ min. The only one who should probably be getting extended minutes at this point is Stuck and even he can cap off at 35.
Tonight was the only game between Sunday, to Friday. Yes, you would hope the players would get more rest, if the games were coming at them faster. Lets see how it works out. We have had AI get relatively light minutes too in a game or two.
AI is playing way too many minutes, but Curry is too afraid to cut his minutes.
2 games in a row where Sheed was getting embarrassed in the post by a big man and then summoned up the motivation to get down in the post himself for revenge. Tonight, 7-10 with some free throws too... and rebounds! He switched on. I think that MC needs to get in his head a little bit. Create something artificial for Sheed to be mad about. Mess up his locker or something. It's really fun to watch when he's scoring in the post and the defense starts getting paranoid about him.
Separate names with a comma.

Information For Faculty
The intellectual challenge of writing center work comes from having to entertain both the student's and the teacher's understandings simultaneously in ways that allow us to compassionately explain where these understandings collide and where the gaps occur.
-Nancy Maloney Grimm
Our main goal in the Writing Center is to engage students in conversations about their papers. We are an active learning center, and our advisors are experienced in asking questions that can prompt more thinking about a paper, or about a particular matter of style or correctness. So, we do not edit papers, but we do talk with writers about correctness, and help them discover ways to proofread their own papers. We do not co-write papers, but we do engage in conversations that lead to a writer discovering what else can be said and other ways to say it. And, we do not claim to evaluate the correctness of claims made in another discipline, but we can talk about how well a paper seems to address the criteria of an assignment and about certain organizational strategies and sentence structures that are common to many disciplines.
In short, we are in the middle between teacher and student. We consult with writers. We look to prompt their thinking and to help guide them to understand and meet the criteria of a given assignment. And, our advisors can also serve as a resource for you, especially if you're drafting a writing assignment. If you're curious about how students will respond to it, stop by and have a real student read it. Our advisors are experts in reading and responding to college assignments.
So, that's what we do. But we cannot do our work without help. The best way that students know about us is through you. Time after time, students tell us that they learned about the Writing Center because a teacher mentioned it in class. We hope that all teachers at Wittenberg will take the time to mention us to their students. If you like, you might put a blurb in your syllabus, or link to us from your course page. Or, if you'd like, an advisor can come to your class and briefly talk about the Center and what we do. To schedule such a visit, please call us at 327-6154 or email firstname.lastname@example.com


text: This is the Digital ELPH that's raising the bar. There's everything you'd expect from a camera of this caliber: A 7.1 megapixel CCD to render images in magnificent detail and a DIGIC III Image Processor for stellar quality and fast operation. Yet what sets the SD800 IS Digital ELPH apart is its Wide-angle 3.8x optical zoom with Image Stabilizer technology for rock steady zooms. The Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH, it's the Digital ELPH that's a step ahead.
