Discussion in 'November 2013' started by roscoe36, Oct 21, 2013.
It was the excellent Warriors crew calling the game. Next game is against Sacto!!!
The Pistons out rebounded the Warriors 16-10 on the offensive glass! The Pistons were out rebounded 33-18 on the defensive glass!! The Pistons lost by 18 and it wasn't that close!!!
Hopefully this loss shook the rotation out and they can leave some of the dead weight on the bench. How 'bout that missed dunk by KCP streaking up the court. How are they supposed to use someone like that? I think Jennings Bucks teams typically started slowly as well. Let's win the next 2 and forget about these.
Hard to get defensive boards when they never miss.
No defense and no offense. The Pistons look like they have no system in place. They can't guard the high pick and roll and players are so out of place that now even the interior defense is gone. The team would be better off taking away the three outside (overplaying) and forcing players to drive while playing a loose interior zone. I wouldn't double anyone. Every time they double, someone is wide open since there is no rotation. The team has no offense. Don't let the points fool you. Most are in garbage situations. I worry that Jennings is getting pushed around a bit similar to Bynum. He doesn't really have anyone to pass to though. Monroe still cannot get needed baskets as a go to guy. Drummond competed well as if playing by himself. He was the bright spot. The role players have been pretty bad. The team has gotten nothing from Singler, JJ, very little from Stuckey, who just doesn't fit and very little from Bynum (if you factor in his pluses and minuses). The team will have to deal soon--I would imagine. You have to wonder what system the coach is putting in place? Pope will have to start as there is no pressure on the ball at all. He can provide some. If Stuckey plays, echoing Lee, he should play some at point. Datome can shoot but does the team need yet another guy with no defense on the perimeter? Let's see of this team can compete with the weaker teams coming up.
This is a good point, for years the Pistons have seemed averse to implementing a system. It's like they're playing pick up ball. I was reading a Zach Lowe piece yesterday where he was praising the T'Wolves for running a system that benefited the 4 below average defenders they started and it made me think of the Pistons. The big line-up has killed the Magic-lite stuff the Pistons had success with last year. To Drummond's credit he has found a way to still be impactful. You got to wonder how many other guys on the roster you could say the same about. I think Bynum and Singler have been impacted by this as well. For now, hopefully Datome and KCP are in and Singler and Stuckey are out.
The Pistons have some problems. Let's get the obvious out of the way; this is a surprisingly bad defensive team. As good as they're supposed to be on the glass, they've been outrebounded in every game in this four-game streak. Smith can't guard the perimeter like I thought he could and his weaknesses as a shooter limit his ability out there; he needs to go back to being a down-low PF, but can't because Monroe and Drummond would be even worse on the wing. Add in the defensive limitations of Jennings and Billups, and you have a recipe for perimeter disaster. Since Jennings has returned, the Pistons have allowed every team to shoot above their average 3p%. But lest you think this is just a perimeter thing, the Pistons are even worse inside; opponents are shooting 52.8% on 2-pointers. This team needs a lineup shakeup. The talent is there, but the defense and balance is not. They need guys that are playing in position, which a lot of them are not. Jennings has the talent to play point, but he's playing like a shooting guard, falling back on his tendency to take too many bad shots. His shot selection is actually a bit of a barometer for how he feels about his teammates - the past couple nights he did not demonstrate much in the way of trust. If you're going to keep Jennings at the point (which feels like their best option right now), then you have to give him an adequate defensive wing to play alongside him - someone like, oh, I don't know... Pope, maybe? Then at SF you need someone that can defend the perimeter - someone like, oh, I don't know... Singler, maybe? Yeah, Lee, I know... Singler isn't a SF. But here's what I do know - the following two lineups played even-up with one of the best starting units in basketball last night: Jennings/Stuckey/Pope/Mitchell/Monroe (5 minutes in the second) and Jennings/Pope/Singler/Monroe/Drummond (6 1/2 minutes in the third). Jennings was -31 and Monroe was -29, but they were -25 in the 10:40 they played concurrently with Smith, and -6 together without him. For each of them having a bad shooting night (11-29, or 38% combined), that's to be expected. They have to break up these lineups. I don't care that Smith is making $13.5 million a year - if it's not working (and it's not), then Cheeks needs to rebalance his rotations. Move Drummond or Smith or Monroe to the bench, and start either Singler or KCP (or both if you relegate Chauncey to the backup spot, where he belongs). You don't need three post defenders, and that's essentially what the Pistons have in Smith, Drummond and Monroe.
The one thing I've determined from this losing streak is that Singler absolutely needs a bigger role!
Let's face it....Mo was dealt a hand that only a few coaches could handle with two questionable stars that no one else really wanted. They both have flaws that we are witnessing during this first two weeks of the season that basketball purists warned us of. Mo has played everyone trying to experiment with the rotation. Hopefully we can get this together before the end of the month and salvage an exciting season.
I know the stats aren't there - as you've mentioned - but the results are. He, Pope and Bynum lead the team in +/- (3.9, 3.8, and 2.6 respectively), and frankly, a big reason for that is that they don't go out there and gunk up the floor. Basically, those numbers are good because they're not Josh Smith at the 3. Their individual results aren't pretty, but everyone else plays better when those guys are on the floor. And it doesn't matter whether or not they're playing against starters or backups, they are empirical evidence of what the advanced stats people keep saying - that team balance and floor spread are unappreciated variables that this Pistons team is not built upon. I'd much prefer to see the following two lineups, personally: Starters - Jennings/Stuckey/Pope/Smith/Monroe Bench - Billups/Singler/Jerebko/Datome/Drummond
It's early, but here are a few observations. Mo has been consistently putting baffling player groups out on the floor. He could be experimenting, or he could be proving a point to his team. Either way it's been insanity. Playing Singler at the 4? Putting Stuckey on Durant? Playing Bynum and Stuckey together with Smith, Moose, and Dre? The list goes on and on. His most talented five man group is BJ, Stuckey, Smith, Moose, and Dre. That line up can't function. This team is simply not built to have its most talented players on the floor at the same time. You need to rotate them. I've been reasonably impressed with Smith's defense at the 3 spot. Offensively, he takes too many bad shots from there. If he MUST shoot threes, then they need to be from the corner. He can actually make it from there. If he's shooting them from up top, then it's probably a wasted possession. If Mo insists on continuing to start Smith at the 3, then he needs to pull a big man early in each half, and split the rest of the minutes at the 3 between Singler and Gigi. Those two guys solve a lot of our shooting problems. This team looks confused on offense, and hesitant on defense. GS was decisive all night on both ends. The Pacers looked like they knew how to close out a NBA game. The Pistons were looking around for someone to do it for them. Hopefully, this is simply a function of all the new faces, and it works itself out as guys become more familiar with each other and the system. Otherwise, this is going to be a long year. Stuckey has been effective when being played at the SF spot with either Gigi or Kyle up top. It lets him slash from the wing and shoot the corner 3. It won't last with Stuckey. It never does. Ever. Brandon Jennings continues to be a selfish chucker. Where's the P & R game? Why isn't he pushing the ball? Greg Monroe is a max money big man. I don't think Billups is the problem. He isn't helping much, but he's not the problem. He's one of our only guards who can shoot the three ball, and his presence seems to keep BJ in line. His minutes should be limited to around 20 a game. Where he plays depends what other guards are in the rotation. As I see it, we need time to gel, and we need to solve our rotation issues.. Mo must limit Smith's SF minutes to 13-14 per game, if not eliminate them all together. Mo needs to set aside 30-35 minutes a night for Gigi and Singler. Like it or not, those are our SFs. Mo must decide between Bynum and Stuckey. If it's Bynum, then Billups and Pope should split the SG spot. If it's Stuckey, then Billups moves over to the PG spot and Stuckey and Pope split time at the 2. Stuckey can play on the wing if he's on the floor with BJ/Billups and Singler/Gigi, which gives us two shooters up top and lets Stuckey work from the wing.
I hate turning this into a rotations thread. ...Heck, I don't even like posting in the actual rotations thread. We have enough good players on this team that we don't have to use the bad ones. Heck, we can even play the good ones in their appropriate roles! PG - Jennings, Bynum, Billups SG - Pope, Billups, Singler [whoever has the hot hand or the better matchup gets the bulk of the bench minutes] SF - Smith (to start each half), Datome, Singler [whoever has the hot hand or the better matchup gets the bulk of the bench minutes] PF - Monroe, Smith C - Drummond, Monroe [TWO of Monroe, Smith and Drummond are ALWAYS on the floor in non-garbage time] That's the a solid 8-10 man rotation that can be made from this roster. If Jerebko and/or Mitchell can earn themselves some time by working hard and staying ready? ...cool. Let them take someone else's job.
That's where I have to disagree with you - Smith should not be playing the three. He doesn't play effective defense on the perimeter and he's not an efficient enough of a perimeter scorer to make up for it. He's a 4, period.
If it was me, I would probably use Smith as a 35 mpg sixth man. Whether or not he would throw a fit is unclear. There is some benefit to having him start and play the first 7 minutes or so of each half at the 3. He's a nice defensive match up with guys like Lebron, Paul George, and Melo.
Our pick and roll defense is atrocious-period. And it's everyone's fault, even our beloved Andre Drummond. He NEVER rotates back on defense after he hedges....if he hedges; Monroe is even worse. Smith is an awful defender as a SF, he's hates chasing guys off the ball and he hates rotating out to the perimeter. Brandon Jennings is so easily picked it's laughable. Billups is just bad. With the exception of Billups this isn't a personnel issue, it's about playing together, focus, discipline and being on the same page with your teammates.
I don't like to be negative, but last night was very frustrating for me.
The Warriors sure looked good! I think the Pistons defense sucks so far. They tend to always crowd the paint, they don't defend outside shooters well, and they often seem confused when the opponent makes more than one pass, forget about it when they encounter a strong pick, etc. etc. I think most of these things can and will improve over the season. Even though their defense is atrocious, they are still all NBA players, and they played quite a few defensive stands perfectly last night. And it didn't matter, because Golden State is loaded up with guys who can score no matter what. If that team stays healthy, they will be hard for anyone to handle.
I watched the game from above last night. All offense consisted of either Smith or Jennings jacking up long contested jumpers or giving Monroe the ball with everyone else just watching what he is going to do. Defense was non-existant. The double-teams on defense have been painful to watch with no rotation to cover open players who were going for easy layups or dunks or wide open threes. Bynum looked for his many times without involving others. Stuckey should be limited to 20 minutes off the bench as hasn't been able to do much on offense and Pope is definitely a stronger defender. Pope should be starting. Datome has a sweet stroke and he can pass the rock, but he can't play defense being too slow and just not being strong enough to body up anyone. In last night's game all of our worries about the 2 newly acquired players were on display - Jennings was just jacking up shots, without involving anyone else other than Monroe, Smith was shooting long jumpers while having a smaller defender on him and just not having his mind in the game. Stuckey still can't shoot and with middle clogged up he was just useless on offense. Jerebko and Singler are who they are, just role players. Monroe tried, but he didn't have much in terms of support, so he had to try to create on his own playing against a very good defender in Bogut. He seems to over-compensate on defense by taking risks and ending up being out of position with the player he was guarding getting easy buckets. Dre had a good game doing his things, but he needs more work on defensive rotations and positioning. The entire team just didn't seem to be into the game and the body language showed that they just weren't up for it. Cheecks seems to be very calm and he looked as if he was just looking at the game as an observer, not a coach.
It may be too early to call, but I am not liking Mo much as a coach so far. I get that he was hamstrung by the injuries in preseason, it was a back to back for a young team, a team with many new players, blah blah blah. Tonight there was a golden opportunity to try out the lineups in the back court we have all identified for pretty much a whole half. Have we seen Jennings and Pope together? What about Jennings, Stuckey and Datome? (Billups, Stuckey and Datome also, but Billups was never going to play much in this one after that start). And sure KCP had some rookie moments, but those were less hurtful than some of Bynum's plays in this game and other games past. KCP's good moments and energy outweighed his bad and he is the perfect fit at SG for this roster. If Mo does not recognise this (or he does and sticks stubbornly to his vets>rooks) and Bynum ends up with more minutes in the next two games, I am off the Mo train.
You're going to have games like that. GS isn't 30 points better than the Pistons. Some of the problems they had last night might persist for a while. Drummond can be beaten with one simple pass. Once Drummond commits, he simply isn't aware enough to recover after the pass. He often finds himself beaten because he simply turns his back on the ball too often. He also commits to help WAY too early. His P&R defense fluctuates between brilliant and gawd aweful. You never know which you'll get. Monroe is no better. Smith does get run off screens, but you expect that from oversized SFs. Lebron and Melo do the same thing. You have to expect your other bigs to have his back. What's inexcusable are the times when he simply refuses to close out. All three bigs are very good on the ball defenders, but nobody seems to be on the same page defensively. Jennings is simply a lazy gambler. Period. He gets smacked around by screens because he's tiny. Seriously, dude. Get in the gym. I have bigger muscles than you. This team needs to more time to gel offensively. They also need to be less selfish. Jennings, Smith, Bynum, and Stuckey are all just looking for their own shot. Last night, GS had 18 assists on their first 21 baskets. We were 100% one on one. Predictable results. Defensively, this team needs to play harder. They also need to be more aware of where their teammates are trying to take their guys, and the on the ball guys need to be aware of where their help is. Last night they just looked lazy and confused defensively. I literally watched perimeter defenders walk away from their men, thinking other guys had them. I repeatedly watched big men walk with their guys away from the basket, leaving a wide open lane to the hoop. It looked like they had never been coached before.

West Valley City • The head golf professional, superintendent and clubhouse are still the same, a comforting notion considering that Mike Richards and John Brubaker are the only pro and greenskeeper this course has ever had and hundreds of folks have celebrated weddings and other big life moments on the upper floor of the facility.
But this is not your father's West Ridge Golf Course not even close. Heck, it doesn't even have the same name.
The par-72 course next to USANA Amphitheater in the vicinity of 5600 West and 5000 South is now known as The Ridge Golf Club. The West Valley City-owned course staged its grand reopening on Friday, about 21 months after it closed in October 2011 to make way for the Utah Department of Transportation's Mountain View Corridor project, which cuts a swath through the middle of the course but really isn't that noticeable.
Taking the $18 million or so it received from UDOT, West Valley City enlisted noted golf course designer Gene Bates and overhauled the entire course, creating an outstanding "new" addition to the Utah golf scene.
"It is a totally new golf course; every hole is different," Richards said. "We are very proud of what we have put together here."
They should be.
Opened in 1991, West Ridge was a decent municipal golf course designed by Bill Neff, but had a few screwy holes and almost always seemed to feature the persistent south wind hence its nickname, "Wind Ridge" and some browned-out greens and fairways.
Bates' new design obviously can't do anything about the wind, but still features plenty of memorable holes, the same spectacular views and enough tee boxes five per hole to make the course playable.
"It is a course that is not going to beat you up," Richards said.
It measures 6,753 yards from the tips (black tees) and 3,402 yards from the most forward tees, the green tees.
Seriously, just 3,402 yards.
Bates, who was on hand Friday for the 20-person ribbon cutting, and Richards said one of the elements of the course they are most proud of is the "Wee Tees," tee boxes that are about halfway down most of the fairways.
"For juniors and grandparents," Bates said.
Richards said the city's goal was to "recapture our customer base and to capture some new customers as well," and in that endeavor they seem on the right cart path to success.
"We knew we had to come up with something pretty special to get them back here," he said. "I just think the design is going to bring them back, I really do. The quality of the golf course is much better, all the way from the way the greens were built, to the bunkers and the tees. There is just a lot more quality going on here now."
Indeed, there are wall-to-wall cart paths, and one of the best practice facilities at a public course in the state with a driving range, chipping green and putting green that is not nearly as severely sloped as the old one.
Although he joked at the ceremony Friday that it was "quite an adventure, dealing with all the [government] entities," Bates called the overhaul a huge success and accomplishment.
"The process allowed us to bring the golf course into the modern era of golf course design, if you will," he said.
If there's a signature hole, it is the downhill par-3 fifth. The green is surrounded by water on three sides, sort of like No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass in Florida. The 13th and 17th holes, both par-5s, are fun risk-reward holes.
The city purchased 40 new acres to replace the 37 that UDOT gobbled up, so the course isn't jammed into too small of an area, like Old Mill Golf Course on the opposite side of the valley. Along with Richards and Brubaker, director of parks and recreation Kevin Astle was also heavily involved in overseeing the project.
"It has been our baby," Richards said. "This is a moment I have been waiting for for a long time."
Local golfers have also waited a long time, and their patience has surely been rewarded.

I have read and seen many comments on gun re-finishing here.Some trueful,some from people who probably shouldn't own or work on guns much less a computer.While I don't own or promote a shop above others that can and who may do the same quality work,I will defend those who don't get the fair shake,and those who should get the shake off.
Fords Shop Being Run by Larna and Her Husband after the Passing of her Father does a job that makes them proud,The work I have seen makes me proud.
From the first time to the last time,not just their work ,but their attitude ,their Business Deameanor and the way they
approach a difficult Business and still provide highly respectible service with a personal delivery impress's me above all else.
Some Companies out West Maybe in Arizona Came on the market like a souped up Hot Rod Selling this new fangled
liquid slippery stuff and Indeed they convinced me to send them a 695 $ 50 caliber GI conversion StainlessSlide.
I wanted a Dark finish on this particular weapon and I was SOLD.Well this is where the Rubber hit the road.After 2 weeks no call ,no return call and no email.My Card was punched and I was stuck waiting for my Slide.After numerous,increasingly
adamont and insistent calls i was told everyone was out of town on shows and did n't know when my slide was shipping.
I told them after these 4 weeks to pack it up give me a refund I'd pay shipping and send it back.
I got it back allright--It was so gooped up with this black resin looking stuff it couldn't get the slide to close and the barrel to fit the slide.After yet another frustrating call I was told finally by the service manager to send it back.I then told them to put the NP3 finish on it which is light years for them ahead of the black what ever it is spray and bake.
But after all ,I guess 10 weeks ,a janitor spraying my 700 dollar slide and the rudest most non customer oriented
company can get by with --all of this i--f you just grease the palms of the people who will keep sending clients your way."AT LEAST ONCE" I guess is good enough for some.I remain happy with my NP3 but since then Many companies do this same process and They all have better customer service,and much better warrenties that are trustworthy.
But when I think of Fords and or one of the other small family run business's here in Florida that specialize in client service 1st and a quality product that is what they say it is, and stand behind it with fast honest friendly service thats i"ll take that any day.
Make no Mistake,Who do you trust your life with The Janitor with the Mop and Glow and a Big Fancy AD campaign
or someone with decades of personal experience.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
First thing you want to do is aquire a wiring diagram for the powertrain .
Thats a must.
Also get a diagram of the electrical component locations. You need it to find all the modules that you will be running.Should only be 2 or 3 but non
theless you need to ID the ones in play. Should be PCM, VATS Mod and maybe BCM...or not.
Get both of those in Print, maybe laminate them so you keep them clean and you will have them for future reference.Or download a full set to a file on your shop PC.
Next...study the connectors and how they come apart without destroying them. They are all pretty simple once you take a few minutes to understand how they work.Keep the tabs intact and keep the locks also.
Also learn how the fuel system lines are put together and do not cut
anything there as you will want to use some or most of that.
There is plastic fuel line available also to fab up lines to the truck and when you get to that point I have some pointers I can give you in that dept as well.
So dissasemble ,with care as you may or may not need anything from the vette.
You will also notice the fuel pump comes out of the tank pretty easy, and you may want to get started scoping out how you are going to run a in tank pump in the old 65.
Neet project!
I will be around. Please post any questions on the board, no PMs please, as any info posted will help other guys in the future, with a PM it only helps one.
If needed , PM me to get my attention to a specific post. No problem
LA Tech
|I'm pretty experienced in restoring 60s Mopar's and I'm very nervous about doing this conversion. I don't know really anything about modern electronics etc. i don't know the names of any of the modules. I have no idea what they look like I'm worried about the connection through the firewall to the steering column, and instrument cluster. I really don't have any clue what I'm doing as far as building a "hot rod" This is my first one. In restoration the blueprint is already there in front of you all you have to do is clean it, Repair broken parts, and paint it. this is a whole other ballgame and I'm looking forward to the challenge. As I've said before "being hard is what makes it great" to borrow a line from league of their own. LA Tech I appreciate your offer and I'll probably take you up on it from time to time. I do plan on posting photos et cetera. In Texas we're about a month away from spring. I plan to start pulling the Motor/trans from the pick up and then start pulling the Corvette and Hardware apart! Open to any and all suggestions thank you
I agree with GMC , use all the corvette stuff.
The vats will be easy to bypass. Just place a resistor the same value as the pellet on the key, hardwire it to the 2 wire orange harness under the column harness and you are done. Be sure to keep ALL the corvette harness as the VATS module may be a seperate module as some /most were.
Having the whole vette...you have evrything you need to do the job.
Buying an aftermarket harness /ecm etc is a waste of money.
Wished I lived closer, I would swing by and give you some very helpful pointers. The wiring /conversion you are doing is a blast, and easy.(at least for me it is )
I'll watch this post and help you out here . Way cool .
If the Corvette is complete and you transplant everything in the engine compartment you probably won't use any engine wiring from the truck. There won't be much "integration" because you won't need wiring from the truck. This solution will work, but it will take time to move it all over correctly. One caveat - If the Corvette has antitheft (VATS) you will have to also use something to bypass it.
If you have the time to do the work, this transplant is probably worth it since you are only spending your time, and it sounds like you already have the Corvette. But if you need to buy a lot of parts to make the Corvette drivetrain work then there might be other alternatives to consider.
If you do the swap I would spring for a Painless or similar coversion harness, unless you really enjoy poring over diagrams and soldering wires (which you might...I don't know...). Integrating a factory harness is a days-long chore and involves aspects that can be simplified/eliminated in an older vehicle, which you can avoid by letting those suppliers do the work for you.
If you're keeping the engine stock, the factory computer/prom will work fine, there will be no VATS issues from an '80s system and the MAF (as opposed to speed-density) scheme will handle minor changes. All the modules etc. that look like such a mess in the Vette get a little easier to figure out when you've got them laid out on the living-room floor.
That said...first-year '85 TPIs are not the most desirable, '86-89 are a more sophisticated and reliable deal. TPI units in general appear to be losing favor, and GM seems to be discontinuing some support. Sweet as that motor looks, I might do more investigation before investing a lot into it.
My own TPI swap into a newer El Camino, integrating harnesses/retaining effective ESC and staying CA smog-legal, has been an on-again/off-again project for years and has yet to be completed thus I cannot say I'm the expert here.
|EOD Guy
|GM performance parts sells a trans and engine computer that was made for exactly for what you want to do. It is possible to clone the old computer into doing what you want but there is some re-programming involved for the ECM to work without the VATS system etc...
Transplanting a 85 Corvette 350/700R4
I have a running 85 corvette that was in a slight rollover. The car runs and drives but the right side roof is caved in, glass is broken, and has been open to the elements.
So, I want to transplant the engine/transmission to a 65 chevy pickup. I can read schematics somewhat and do fair with 12V systems.
1) How hard is it to move all the modules and wire the motor and trans.
2) I know that the motor is only about 235hp but wanting it for a daily driver.
3) What is the cheapest way to wire the engine/trans...reuse the existing wiring harness or bite the bullet and get a painless or generic harness to do the job.
4).... or do you recommend to reuse the 400/th350 currently in there because of easier than wiring in the 1985 setup.
Thank you in advance

Press release from AGFC:
The gate at Mitchell Corner on Henry Gray Hurricane Lake WMA was closed at 1 p.m. today because of extensive flooding on the area. This gate will remain closed throughout the remainder of waterfowl season, including the youth hunt. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this closure is part of our approved management plan for the WMA to protect the roads and other infrastructure of the WMA and ensure the safety of hunters and anglers wishing to access the area.
The gate to Willow Pond was closed yesterday for the same reason.
So it seem's WMA is open for hunting but the Mitchell corner access area is closed as well as Willow pond area.
Deer hunting was closed yesterday according to flood prone zone regulations

Sabres Top 20 prospects
'In the preseason version of this listing of the Buffalo Sabres Top 20 prospects, forward Thomas Vanek knocked goaltender Ryan Miller from the top slot that the goaltender had held for some time. But the pendulum has swung back towards Miller in this mid-season presentation of the Top 20, with the two Rochester Americans teammates reverting back to their former standings.'

'"I feel like I was played," Biron said. "I feel the fans were played. I feel bad. People were coming up to me at the rink, and they were so excited the lockout was over.'
What's next for the NHL?
'Goodenow can do little but wait for Bettman's next move.'
Rob Ray says NHL lockout may leave permanent black mark
'"It's unfortunate," he said. "I just think that it's too bad that things couldn't have gotten worked on a lot sooner. Because it seems like it comes down to the 11th hour all the time. And there's been 11 months that they could have been working on this."'

'"I thought about it all the way to the rink," McKee said of the season being wiped away. "It just gave me a sick feeling because I think we came a long, long way to find a deal that worked for everyone."'
Bettman's bargaining is to blame
'Ultimately, though, this is Bettman's failure. He presided over the league when it overexpanded and saw salaries soar beyond justifiable levels. It's true the NHL needs fixing. But the owners created the problem, and they miscalculated by trying to fix their salary woes in one fell swoop.'
NHL steps back to step forward
'With no deal even though the players finally accepted the concept of a salary cap, it's quite likely they'll never get a contract as good as the last proposal they turned down.'

I am a "ninja of the mind".

Best Uses
This is an extraordinary kit of clever ideas for those who are interested in improving their life and themselves. I'm a 22 year old guy, who grew up a "self parent", and essentially making use of the valuable knowledge I find. The one suggestion I have about reading MPH (Mind Performance Hacks)is to trust your own judgement and be open-minded. This book has remained a frequently used reference of mine, since I bought it roughly three to four years ago. The "hacks" provided are genuinely brilliant, and can essentially help the reader overcome any obstacles they may encounter, by creating the necessary mental tools they need. Although mastering and maintaining those tools is useful towards the understanding of "how we can make our lives easier". The more important meaning behind each new "hack", is the reader learns about "how we can make life more enjoyable". There is a great deal of gratitude towards the moment that I'm now more aware of, because of the collaborated information in this book. I'm pretty sure Levar Burton wouldn't call it "life changing", but shit I'm not hosting Reading Rainbow.

Great book, great read!

I'm still reading parts and bits and almost every hack is right on the spot. Sometimes a hack is not for me but then it is still amusing to read. I recommend it to all my friends, whether they read English or not. Keep up the good work! Full disclosure: I choose the 5 stars because I liked is tht much ;-)

fascinating and helpful
By Anonymous
Mind Performance Hacks is much more than a "hack" book. I didn't expect to read all of it since you normally only read the "hacks" of particular importance to you at the moment.I did read the entire book though because it was so fascinating and helpful.The first chapter was somewhat of a disappointment since many of the memory hacks only fit with a natural ability for visual or musical talent, which I don't have. And 1 or 2 of the hacks were so complicated that you'd have to need to memorize a huge volume of material to make it worth while to work hard at the hack to get good enough to find it useful. This is certainly not thefault of the author since he was only letting you know about the hack.But I loved chapter 2 on information processing, especially the map your mind hack. I've done mind maps before but this book mind it more "how to" to really assimulate the information. It also had a hack for speedwords that looks very useful which I hope to implement soon.The Math chapter was also helpful if you need to develop more of a "feel" for numbers and get to anapproximate answer quickly.The book has a nice format. Each hack starts with a brief overview. Then the In Action section explains the details. Then the How It Works section explains how your brain is using the hack. The In Real Life section gives an example of how the author used the hack. Finally, the hack ends with lots of external references to web sites and other books.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a non-technical understanding of how their brain works and how to get more out of it. If you are a creative person and need to get more out of your thoughts, this book is for you. If you are an analytical person and need to make better decisions or be more intuitive about numbers, this book is for you. If you are just curious on a few hacks to have better recall, this book is worth getting. I bet you end up reading the whole book, like I did!
They Might Be Mentats
By John Michael Greer
A first-rate practical introduction to methods of working with rather than against your own brain: clear, readable, and extremely useful. I'd recommend it insistently for anybody who thinks -- and if you don't, it might just get you started.

one for dipping into
By dakegra
This is a great little book, full of funky tricks and tips for improving, amongst other things, your mental arithmetic, memory, ability to brainstorm effectively and so on.The hacks themselves are split neatly into eight sections: Memory, information processing, creativity, math, decision making, communication, clarity, and 'mental fitness'Some of the hacks in the book are pretty intense, requiring a fair amount of legwork (or should that be brainwork?) to get them up and running. Some of the memory systems for example would clearly need you to remember the system before you could remember other things!I loved the way that the hacks are set out - starting out with what the hack will achieve, how it would work 'in action', then applying it so that you can see how it would work 'in real life'My favourite section was the Creativity section, with some great ideas and tips for getting the old grey matter ticking along. As with every O'Reilly book I've read, the author's style is friendly, clear and informative, not to mention funny.You may not use all the hacks in this book, but I'll bet you a dollar you come out of it wanting to try more than a few. Top stuff.

Laura Harvey says Arsenal Ladies cannot wait for their chance to face Japan's finest.
Harvey and her squad embark on an 11-day tour of the country from Thursday and their first match is a charity game against the Japanese Football League champions, INAC Kobe.
Japan's women claimed World Cup glory in the summer and Harvey admits she can't wait to get started.
"To be able to go out there and pitch ourselves against that level of opposition is massive," she said. "It's probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Obviously the exposure over there is massive. With the Japanese women's team having won the World Cup too, again the timing couldn't be better."
"This tour been in the pipeline for a while and now it's something we've managed to do," Harvey added. "We often have the exchange the other way around most summers and now it's a great chance for us to do it.
"The timing of it has actually worked out perfectly with the end of our season. To finish the year like this after such a fantastic season is great."

I'd also question if it was playful. If the dog could sniff the bag while sitting then they were very close. It was probably more of a "whoa you are way inside my comfort bubble" type of nip. My guess is that it was more nervous than playful. Besides you can't go around convincing people it was a playful nip.
Either way no one is going to be able to read your dog on this forum. Get a trainer to figure out why the dog did what he did. If it was a dog being a brat then I'd correct him but I don't think it is. I don't know many Shepherds that want to play with strangers much less playfully nip them. I also think a muzzle is a great idea.
The person I quoted above has had multiple dogs bite multiple people. That's where excuses get you. I would be proactive and get a trainer and figure out why the dog did what it did before you can fix anything.
I would guide him further away from people, use a strong leash & maybe a 'prong collar' if he pulls at all.
Meeting new people can be tricky without a gentile introduction. Just meeting along a sidewalk is more of a speedy introduction, may be O.K. for a Lab.
When you pass people, put yourself between him and the person until you're comfortable he won't give any more old ladies a love mugging. Lady was probably nervous and yanked the bag away from him. I wouldn't think any more of this than teenage dog shenanigans.
I was you a long time ago, 17 year old girl out walking a big dog who was a bit rambunctious. Older people just assume you don't know what you're doing. I got that assumption pretty much until I was almost 40 and started wearing work boots to walk my dog all the time.
Are you doing any training with him? Taking a class? That'll help with your anxiety while you're walking him. The dog feels that anxiety. Could have been part of why he reacted like this.
Has he done anything like this before? Has he shown any aggression? How was he acting before and after he nipped this woman's arm? In your opinion, was he being a playful "puppy" or aggressive?
And it is possible for him to feel that you are tense or nervous, and he may act out. Try not to make a big deal out of walking past people, it's just another person, nothing interesting, nothing to get worked up over. If he is aggressive, then you should be cautious.
I'm a little hesitant about muzzling, for it can make an insecure/aggressive dog more so, because they can't defend themselves and they know it. They may act out even more.
Hopefully other members will give you more useful information.
Good luck!

Help with boisterous pup
Hi, just wanting a little bit of advice please! The family dog is now an 11 month old male, I'm 17 and the primary dog walker. I've always been cautious - perhaps overly cautious which he may have picked up on? - when walking him, because although I've had a german shepherd before, I never walked her due to my age. Anyway, Rico is usually well behaved, he's encountered many people who he's only ever sniffed, at the most maybe tried to pronk around them playfully. Today, though, we encountered an oldish couple and I told him to sit as they passed, he sat, but the lady had a bag which Rico thought he was entitled to sniff. He nipped at the bag, the lady pulled away and he nipped at her arm. The lady was unharmed but the threading on her jacket had been pulled loose. He immediately sat and continued to do so whilst the couple berated me (understandably) and I insisted he's not a vicious dog - I don't believe he is, I think he just needs training and to understand that strangers aren't people he can nip at, be it playfully or not.
What would you suggest? A muzzle for my dog? Is it worrying behaviour? As I'm adamant it's just playfulness -although that's no justification - perhaps I should muzzle him from this point onwards?

O'Reilly wrongly claimed malpractice lawsuits are responsible for rising health care costs
Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
On the November 4 and November 11 editions of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly erroneously blamed medical malpractice lawsuits for soaring health care costs, claiming, "If you lowered the medical malpractice, all -- everything would come on down." Those who advocate putting caps, or limits, on medical malpractice awards point primarily to two factors they say drive up health care costs: increases in medical malpractice insurance premiums resulting from large amounts of money being awarded in malpractice suits and the practice of "defensive medicine" (the overprescription of tests and treatments as a hedge against malpractice claims). But the Congressional Budget Office has found that neither of these factors appears to affect health care costs.
From the November 11 edition of The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: Don't you think tort reform would take care of that? ... If you lowered the medical malpractice, all -- everything would come on down.
From the November 4 edition of The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: But the only way that works is if you get the medical malpractice lawyers under control. ... That's No. 1. You can't get health care costs under control unless you stop the chaos in the court system. You can't!
- Malpractice premiums: As Media Matters for America has noted, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has documented the minimal impact that increases in medical malpractice insurance premiums have on overall health care costs. A 2004 CBO report concluded that capping awards at $250,000 for non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits "would basically save only 0.4 percent of the amount that's spent now" on health care. According to the report, "[M]alpractice costs amounted to an estimated $24 billion in 2002, but that figure represents less than 2 percent of overall health care spending. Thus, even a reduction of 25 percent to 30 percent in malpractice costs would lower health care costs by only about 0.4 percent to 0.5 percent, and the likely effect on health insurance premiums would be comparably small."
- Defensive medicine: As FactCheck.org has noted, claims that "defensive medicine" drives up medical costs -- a principal Bush administration argument for tort reform -- have been dismissed as inconclusive by the General Accounting Office (GAO) and the CBO. The CBO went further, declaring that there is "no evidence that restrictions on tort liability reduce medical spending."
According to a July 2002 report issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):
Defensive medicine that is caused by unlimited and unpredictable liability awards not only increases patients' risk but it also adds costs. The leading study estimates that limiting unreasonable awards for non-economic damages could reduce health care costs by 5-9% without adversely affecting quality of care. This would save $60-108 billion in health care costs each year. These savings would lower the cost of health insurance and permit an additional 2.4-4.3 million Americans to obtain insurance.
But as FactCheck.org noted, the "leading study" referenced in the HHS report is a 1996 paper by Stanford University economists Daniel P. Kessler and Mark McClellan. As FactCheck.org noted, McClellan recently served as President George W. Bush's senior White House policy director for health care and is now commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
Although the Kessler-McClellan study won the 1997 American Economics Association's award in health economics, the Government Accounting Office and the Congressional Budget Office have since dismissed its findings as inconclusive.
From a January 29, 2004, article on FactCheck.org:
In 1999 a GAO study said the evidence Kessler and McClellan cited was too narrow to provide a basis for estimating overall costs of defensive medicine:
Because this study was focused on only one condition and on a hospital setting, it cannot be extrapolated to the larger practice of medicine. Given the limited evidence, reliable cost savings estimates cannot be developed.
And on Jan. 8, 2004, the Congressional Budget Office also said the Kessler-McClellan study wasn't a valid basis for projecting total costs of defensive medicine.
When CBO applied the methods used in the study of Medicare patients hospitalized for two types of heart disease to a broader set of ailments, it found no evidence that restrictions on tort liability reduce medical spending. Moreover, using a different set of data, CBO found no statistically significant difference in per capita health care spending between states with and without limits on malpractice torts.

Sailing holidays (0)
Family sailing holidays aren't just an opportunity for budding skippers to wear silly hats and control the tiller all holiday long – the plus points are rather more numerous than that. Just think about it: you can set sail whenever you like, sailing from one beautiful location to another at the turn of a wheel. Best of all, you don't have to put up with heaving beaches. Just find your own deserted stretch of sand or an isolated cove, moor up and enjoy the sunshine and quiet. Sailing doesn't have to be an activity holiday, you know.
The more competent sailors among you might like to take the wheel yourself on one of our yachts in Spain or Greece. Or, for a little added luxury, you can hire your own private skipper.
For families in which there's an even split between sea legs and landlubbers, there's the sailing holiday compromise of renting a holiday home that has the use of its own boat and private mooring. Check out these sailing adventures in the Caribbean and along the coast of England.
But if sailing sounds just a little too involving for what's supposed to be a relaxing holiday, there is the more tranquil option of a houseboat. Either stay put or pootle merrily around the waterways of England and the Netherlands. Whichever appeals more, you should definitely step aboard soon.

text: Its finally time to start the armor on my budget ROTJ Fett. And so far the sheet of sintra was going to be the most expensive piece, about $50 bucks for a 4 x 8 sheet. I was calling around trying to get the best price and i found out there was a sign supply company 5 miles from my home. Called them up and asked if they sold scrap or damaged pieces for a discount, the guy said no but they sometimes have cover pieces that they ship on top of the good pieces of sintra. He said they are usually pretty damaged but i could take a look at them if interested. I went there this morning and looked at the "damaged" sheet. It had some very very minor scratches and some dirt on it but otherwise perfect:D. I asked how much and he said i could have it for free! :eek:eek:eek So my budget boba is going to be even more budget than originally planned, which is ok with me! I am going to start cutting the pieces using WOF's templates and ill post pics as soon as i get it going!

The wooden handguards have all had hard use, some handguards have gripping grooves hand cut into them.
No upper handguard retaining springs, lower handguard ferrules or grip screws are included with these sets.
These are dirty and greasy, the finish is worn and faded, they show what they went through!
These handguard sets can also show some insight as to the Soldiers who spent their days and nights with their rifle no more than an arms length away.
Some show graffiti, paint, scratched on names of family/friends/places/units, Soldier "art" even battle scars!
There is a near endless variety that our warehouse crew has packed up into these triple handguard sets.
This is your chance to own some one of a kind military history!
Once these are gone, we expect to see no more.
No requests or selections on these, no returns.

I found this on Refuge forum so I thought I would put it on here to. The guy heading all this up (Kevin) is my neighbor. He is serious about finding this guy. This is the second year that they have searched for this guy. I am not able to go this weekend but I hope some of you will make it out there. Please help the family have some closure.
Thanks for reading
If you go please let Kevin know that I refered you about this.
There looking for volunteers for a body search in southern Miami County. Typically duck hunters see things in the woods pretty good. If anyone is willing to volunteer some time and try and do something good for these people they could sure use your help. March 18, 9:00am Gilmore airport. Although it is opening weekend of spoonbill season in MO, I'll be there. Any pilots willing to over fly the area during the search are also needed.
Chris King (Duck Hunting USA)
PAOLA, Kan. -- A Miami County man vanished two years ago, and a friend continues to try to solve the mystery.
Karl Lee Larsen, 44, was reported missing from Paola on Feb. 25, 2004. On that day, Larsen asked his mother to pick up his son from school. That was the last anyone heard from him.
The man didn't leave many clues. His car was found a month later behind an abandoned farmhouse in rural Linn County.
KMBC's Martin Augustine reported that Larsen's friend, Kevin Danciak, continues to organize searches to find Larsen.
On March 18, Danciak hopes to have enough volunteers to search for Larsen over several hundred acres in a wooded area near Gilmore Airport.
"The timber is pretty thick," Danciak said.
He said he expects that Larsen may have taken his own life because he had stopped taking his medication for a mental illness, but Danciak wants to try to end the painful mystery for Larsen's family.
"One minute you wonder if he's alive, and the next minute you wonder if he's not, and so, there's a lot of frustration and nervousness around that whole situation," Danciak said. "The main thing is the family, that's the most important part. I can't imagine being in their position ... I've got the easy part. They've got the tough part."
Danciak said the volunteer work will be both physically and mentally challenging, but anyone who is interested is encouraged to wear proper clothing and footwear. The search is set to begin at 9 a.m. on March 18 at Gilmore Airport in Pleasanton.
If you have any questions, contact Kevin Danciak at (913) 961-7997.

2. Midwestern U.S. – Lay's Creamy Garden Ranch
3. Northwestern U.S. – Lay's Balsamic Sweet Onion
4. Southwestern U.S. – Lay's Chipotle Ranch
5. Southeastern U.S. – Lay's Cajun Herb & Spice
· All of the Lay's Regional Flavored potato chips are made with all natural ingredients and cooked in healthier oils, like corn and sunflower oils, which contain 80% or more of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat - the "good fats." They also contain 0 grams of trans fats per serving!
· There's also less sodium in them than you might think – a 1-oz serving of our Lay's Regional Flavored potato chips contains less salt than a plain bagel!
For the record..I've tried ALL of them, with the exception of the Honey Mustard-which I just haven't found in my local grocery, or I would have!
So you might be wondering where exactly I'm going with this? Well, I got invited to submit a recipe into the Taste from Home contest being sponsored by Lay's AND...I get to do a giveaway with it as well! And in true Suzy fashion, I waited until the day BEFORE the cutoff to bang out my recipe. What can I say? I work well under pressure!
You migh have noticed, up there #2-Midwestern..Creamy Garden Ranch. Um yes. I (in true midwestern fashion) put ranch on EVERYTHING. Carrots, broccoli, pizza, baked potatoes, chicken, crackers...so I must agree they got my region RIGHT on!
Like I said--day before submission cutoff, and I realize that I need to get this done!
I was drawing a blank.
I was hungry.
And all I could think of was driving to the closest drive-thru that has tater tots (great comfort food) and going to town on the salty, crispy, goodness.
Then I decided, what is a contest without some challenge? And it clicked...I had things to MAKE Tater Tots..had I ever made them before,...um..no..but I could and would do it...today.
Little Man is a tot hound, and Little Miss wanted the leftover chicken and broccoli for lunch. So I combined them. And Little Miss named them.
Not only are they amazing, but they call to the forefront the Creamy Garden Ranch Lay's I so love. The potato, ranch, and cheese are creamy. They have an awesome crunch from the panko coating. And the hint of broccoli, so you'll kinda feel like you are being healthy..oh..and a bit of chicken for protein! It's a meal in tot form..oh yeah!
And here is how I did it!
Chicken Ranch Broccoli Tots
2 large white baking potatoes-cooked whole, cooled, peeled, and grated on a hand grater
1 egg-beaten
1/2 cup cooked chicken and broccoli-chopped finely
1/2 cup cheddar/monterey jack shredded cheese
3 Tablespoons AP flour
1 Tablespoon ranch powder
1/2 stick of butter-melted
3/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon ranch powder
vegetable oil for frying-just enough for about 1/4-1/2 inch in a shallow pan.
(I'll admit, I tried baking first-but nothing can get that awesome tot crunch like frying it...so fry..don't be afraid!)

So I sat out today to install a little kenwood self powered sub under the seat of my 2005 wrx today. All seemed to be going well until I tried to plug everything up and see if everything was at least getting power and.. no. The little ring around the the ignition will not light up, the radio will not come on, and my interior lights won't come on.
I was checking some of the voltages and the always on power wire to the radio does not have power on it, not even when the key is in the acc position. Seems like the wire color is blue with a purple stripe.
Everything else in the car works. However my voltmeter in the gauge cluster shows a little over 14V when the car is running. all the fuses (atleast for the radio) are still good. I did mess around behind the fuse box but never unplugged anything cause it was a pain to get to.
Any thoughts??

Jackson, Nats best Jays to win fourth straight
Jackson, Nats best Jays to win fourth straight
Jackson was sensational for much of the evening. He was removed after surrendering a leadoff double to Edwin Encarnacion in the ninth, but logged his fifth consecutive quality start, lowered his ERA to 3.02 and improved to 3-3 on the year.
"I don't keep up with the numbers, I just try to go out and help the team as much as I can," Jackson said.
In his first trip to Canada, Harper put his array of talents on full display and showed just over 18,500 at Rogers Centre the reason why he was the most hyped prospect in recent memory.
Harper made his presence felt from the start, showed the poise of a veteran at the plate, got serenaded with a chorus of "Harper" chants while manning the outfield, and helped the Nationals extend their winning streak to four games.
"Has anybody?" Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche said when asked if he has ever seen a 19-year-old as good as Harper. "You don't see many 19-year-olds come up and play period, much less be hitting two-hole on a first-place team. Just an unbelievable future ahead of him.
"He's a kid that knows he belongs here. There is zero intimidation. If anything, that is starting to get reversed a little bit. He is a force at the plate, people are starting to recognize that. You tend to forget that he's 19 once in a while."
Harper got things going right away for the Nationals, cashing in the first run of the game with a hard-hit single to right field that scored leadoff man Steve Lombardozzi. The youngest player in baseball, Harper, would come around to score later in the inning on a sacrifice fly by designated hitter Michael Morse. Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista came gunning home, but Harper slid in past the tag of J.P. Arencibia.
After Jackson served up an upper-deck homer to Colby Rasmus in the bottom half of the inning, Harper helped him get that run back his next plate appearance.
Harper drew a one-out walk then stole second base, his fourth swipe of the season, before being driven in on a two-run shot by LaRoche in the third that put the Nationals ahead, 4-1.
In his next two plate appearances, Harper singled twice more, and it wasn't until the fifth time he stepped up to the plate, in the eighth inning, that the Blue Jays were able to keep him off the basepaths.
After the game, Harper spoke like someone who has been doing it for years, not months.
"You just try to stay on an even keel so that you don't get too high, get too low," said Harper, who increased his average to .295. "You just try to come here and get the 'W' every day, and try to be as comfortable as you can at the plate, not chase pitches, and wait for yours."
Bautista got Harper back in the fifth inning, however, as he tossed him out from right field as Harper tried to go first to third. Harper drew a lot of contact with Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie as he slid into the base, and joked about it after the game.
"I was like, 'Crap, I hope I didn't [tick] him off.' He's a big boy, I don't want to [tick] him off," Harper said about Lawrie. "Bautista, of course, made a friggin' heck of a throw. I didn't want to run [Lawrie] over or anything like that, so I was trying to slide and avoid it, and he got me. Got to tip my cap."
Harper, Lombardozzi, LaRoche and Ian Desmond all had multihit games, and Rick Ankiel provided the final blow with a pinch-hit solo homer in the eighth that increased Washington's lead to 6-1.
Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Jackson let it be known he wanted to head out for the ninth, despite throwing over 100 pitches after eight, and the skipper agreed to it because of how impressed he was with the right-hander.
"He's got great stuff, he's stingy about giving up hits per inning," Johnson said. "His command is a lot better."
Blue Jays manager John Farrell felt Jackson's three-pitch arsenal was quite effective in keeping Toronto hitters off balance.
"Credit to Edwin Jackson, slowed us down, changed speeds a number of times and, really, [we] didn't have a whole lot to mount," Farrell said. "We couldn't really get anything offensively sustained to mount any kind of comeback here tonight."
Toronto was forced to turn to Chad Beck after starter Brandon Morrow, who was credited with the loss, was removed in the first with a left oblique strain after throwing nine pitches.
The Nationals suffered an injury of their own, as Roger Bernadina, who started the game in center field, was forced to leave in the fourth after going from first to third on a wild pitch. After he slid into third, he popped up in obvious pain and was replaced by Xavier Nady. Bernadina was later diagnosed with a strained right hamstring.
Washington has won six of its past seven games and holds a three-game lead over the Marlins in the National League East.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I think there is more to hunting, then driving up close to where the game animal is, and waiting for a few minutes, and when it comes along, shooting it.
I think a lot of it is being one with nature, being out there in the woods, and being able to look at the signs and hunt for the animal without getting lost, etc. You might walk for 6 or 8 hours and not see anything to shoot at. But if you do, see a critter, you must know if it is in season, a good specimen, in some cases male or female, and then you need to shoot it, preferably on the wing if it is a bird.
Then you have to go and find it, if it was a proper shot, a bird or rabbit will go down pretty much where you shot it. Larger animals might run for quite a distance before they quit.
Then you have to field dress it. I think this has to appeal only to the naturalist. Yuck, but you have to know how to get the guts and sex glands out, if you do not want the meat spoiled.
Then you have to haul it out of the woods and get it home or to whoever will process it for you.
If you have a hunting dog, it is seriously interesting and enjoyable to watch a dog do what it was bred for: watching a setter hunt, and then set, holding a bird with its eyes. Watching a a dog flush out the game. Watching them get birdy. Watching them retrieve or point. I am sure those who hunt with hounds have a list of their own hound-dog related hunting stuff that is just awesome to watch.
We have herding dogs. And it is exciting and interesting to watch our dogs do that.
I have no problem with trophy hunting. Limits are put on all critters. These are determined by the department of wildlife. If no more than that many animals are harvested, their numbers will be fine and it will be better for the remaining animals and the other game if the overage of these animals are culled.
I eat meat - beef, chicken, bacon mainly. My dogs eat meat. I live on a farm and we have sheep and Highland cattle. I am not keen on pork or fish, I do like lamb chops, but don't eat much lamb at all. All our animals lead a natural, healthy and mostly organic life, but can't always guarantee their end, as many are sold at market and could go one of a few ways (bought for breeding, for meat or for fattening up etc)
I wish all animals could be raised as naturally as possible and be treated with kindness and respect, and be humanely slaughtered either at small, local abattoirs or actually on the farm where they are raised/kept.
If I had to kill my own animals for meat, I would definitely become a vegetarian.
I, too, abhor trophy hunting.

To me, there are only a few GOOD reasons to kill an animal. One is for food. One is for self-defense or defense of livestock. Another is if the animal is suffering. But killing an animal just for bragging rights? "I'm such a badass cause I shot a beautiful male lion that was minding its own business." Sorry, I don't understand that.
I love to eat meat. We are evolved and genetically programmed to consume meat, although we could give it up. I choose to consume.
I was raised keeping a small herd of cattle and we processed a calf every year for meat. Having participated the killing and dressing, I have no problem with the process, although I don't think that it should be purposefully or unnecessarily cruel.
Although I don't object to hunting for sport, and am comfortable talking with buddies about hunting, I am too tender-hearted to shoot animals for fun. It is not particularly fun for me.

I was raised a farm girl, so I've eaten many of the animals I've raised. Some of the lambs we'd have butchered I'd raise from newborns and show them in the fair. At first it's kinda hard, but you learn to think of it as, "It's not a pet. It's livestock." We treat our animals very very well, and I was raised to have an overall respect for the animals. That being said, they're here for us, so eating them is part of life.
Now, I personally don't like very much meat. It is not some ethical objection I have to it, but more a taste preference. I like lamb, some chicken, and some fish, but that's about it. I don't like beef at all. I will eat it if I am served it, because I don't like to be rude, but of my own volition I don't cook it. Same with pork (with the exception of bacon). That being said, I will cook either one of those meats for my family (I love love love to cook); I just eat cereal while they eat a steak lol!
I like meat - filet especially! and great burgers....chicken and pork are regular menu choices here....fish - not so much since I found worms in raw orange roughy from a reputable fish market - love lobster, shrimp, scallops and crab.....I have eaten venison, pheasant, rabbit...I cannot fathom the joy people get from hunting and taking the life of an animal - unless we had a total sci-fi like end of the world situation, I cannot imagine killing an animal to eat it...
I love animals - I hate hearing/knowing about the meat industy....
I am a total hypocrite because I eat meat and enjoy it....
I like beef, but it is too expensive.
Chicken seems to be the meat of choice on my budget.
I like various cuts of pork, bacon, and sausage.
I like rabbit but I never get it, since Dad stopped hunting, and I am too lazy, and too cheap to buy a hunting license.
I don't like deer, but I can stomach it if only to get the rotten rodents off the roads.
I like pheasant and grouse, but Dad doesn't hunt anymore.
I like walleye, relatively small, very fresh and broiled with a little butter.
I like orange roughy made the same way.
No other fish, the only other sea food I like are peel and eat shrimp and mushroom stuffed crab or crab stuffed mushrooms.
I will eat anything that doesnt eat me first. I am a carnivor. Meat and potatoes pretty much every day in some form or the other. I tolerate anything green only because I know its good for me. I eat a lot fruits and veggies but somewhere on that plate there better be some meat. My favorite is a medium rare steak. Chicken is doable if its fried. Baked is like...I guess if I have to. Sea food is good as long as it comes out of the deep fryer. I've also ate my fair share of squrells and rabits. Also not bad. Between meals im usually chewin on some beef jerky.
BEEF!!! Its whats for dinner.
I like meat. I understand that animals are raised for meat. Frankly, nature is not pretty, starvation is ugly and it happens naturally in the wild. So does the ripping and tearing of herbivores by carnivores.
I do not want to see animals abused, but I do not insist on free-range chickens and any specially raised meats. I mean, maybe I can pay the extra for myself, but no way can I ensure that all my dogs are eating only meat that is raised and slaughtered in any special way. So if I am willing to buy bargain meats for them, or dog food, than buying only specially raised meat for myself is kind of hypocritical.
I guess I see it as more important for my dogs to have eggs, and chicken than it is for me to ensure that all the chickens in the world are raised a certain way. If that makes me a bad person, oh well, I am still going to feed my dogs chicken and eggs, and I will eat the same chicken and eggs that they do.
