Last pre-season game. Time was changed for the World Series
It's on Detroit channel 20 and WDFN 1130AM.
Memphis Commercial Appeal - Memphis' Source for News and Information: Grizzlies The Grizz have their own undersized PFs....
i'll be there and give you guys a report, maybe some pics if i can
Re: 7PM Tues Oct 24 Washington At Detroit Chat is open. You can find chat by clicking QUICKLINKS on the top menu, and then FLASHCHAT.
Geez folks. Don't get too excited about this one...
Delfino played 28 minutes and didn't score. Plus, Dahntay Jones kicked his hiney in the second half.
I didn't get to see this one, but I was excited about the Brahma's consistent scoring stat line. Looking at the scores, it looks like the starters (esp. Tay) took the night off and let the kids play. 4 blocks from Amir could make him a living legend around these parts. I heard from the chat folks (roscoe) that Flip Murray looks pretty good. That's certainly encouraging.
Box Score Recap Homer Recap from Keith Langlois
I just read the Homer Recap. Keith mentions the fact that the Pistons frontcourt grabbed two rebounds in a combined 59 minutes. Tayshaun says they are used to Ben going after it, so they will have to start working on rebounding. I know that it's only the preseason, but 2 rebounds in 59 minutes scares the hell out of me.
After 7 or 8 games in the preseason, one week out from the real deal, it's time to practice? URGH!
Yeah, the rebounding is pretty scary. I was worried when I saw the 23-47 differential overall, but 2 for the starting frontcourt in 59 minutes is just pathetic. On the plus side, Amir Johnson blocked shots at a rate of 21 per 40 minutes.
How did Nazr not get a single rebound? What kind of way is that to prove to the critics that you can replace Ben Wallace? Here is the strange part from the box score: We got outrebounded by 24!!! Yet we had 20 more field goal attempts and hit 4 threes to their 0!!! The difference was that they shot a ton of free throws. Now I didn't see the game, but if JMAX only gets 1 free throw, then Stern must have been one of the refs.
I guess it doesn't matter as long as you make all your shots. And if you aren't making all your shots, just shoot more. You will eventually get into the groove. In all seriousness: I'm trying to keep a positive attitude. But c'mon, rebounding is fundamental. These guys gotta get on it.
Memphis should be in the lotto this year... nice effort and contribution from the bench...NOT...and without their best player. Maybe a loss is what's needed to jumpstart some active practices before the season... that's two games in a row that Delfino got his ass handed to him on defense.... not that Dupree did any better the day before. Have to say I'm starting to agree with Roscoe about Dice... looking old. Well this preseason was about building the bench so some losses should be expected.
Jason Maxiel is making Antonio McDyess look like serious trade bait (but I think he has some sort of no trade thing in his contract). A package of Dyess+Delfino could get us a pretty decent player.My 2 cents: Looking at Nazr play the center position really makes me appreciate how physically gifted Ben Wallace is. Man we took some of the things that Ben did completely for granted, the fact is that is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to measure Ben Wallace's contributions. Nuff on 'dat Flip Murray is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. Dude I had almost forgotten what dribble penetration looked like (offensively, at least; Lord knows our perimeter defense sure as heck have no clue how to stop dribble penetration), and in addition to Flip there's Will Blalock, Earl the Squirrel Boykins may have taken it to him the other night, but man Will knows how to run the point, oh baby he's gonna be nice. Our second unit and young players are really FUN to watch and they'll make great debates this season. I pray Amir keeps working, the sky is the limit for this kid, he's full of potential. But the man of the hour is Jason Maxiel, MAN!!! he's a force. A low post presence that likes to score around the basket....go figure, a power forward that seeks contact and high percentage shots, a rarity in today's NBA. Attn: Darko and his LOYAL followers, the Brahma is showing you how you to get PT. MAXIEL is the last Piston we have on this team. The Goin' to Work Crew is Looooooong gone but the Brahma is the last of the Mo'Ricans (see Al Pacino). It's kinda like a horror movie where you think you kill all the creatures and just before the credits roll one pops up so you can make a sequel.
Delfino gets a pass on this game. Played 46 minutes last night. Have to wonder what the Heck was going through Flip's mind. Almost like he was setting him up for failure. What worries me are the shots Flip and JMax are taking. It's like Flip is telling everyone, forget about team play, take the shot, shoot, shoot, shoot. Thankfully we still have are core, but the Flip/JMax blackhole is starting to scare me. Don't know the record, but this team could set a record for the fewest assists ever.
16 mile I couldn't disagree more. What this bench, heck any bench for that matter, is a player or players that will come in and be assertive and begin to make make an immediate impact on the game. For the past few years the only players that have doen that were Lindsey Hunter (and usualy not in a good way). When it comes to your bench you can't have guys that come in and just let the game come to them, you need players that come in ready to fill it up. As a bench player you don't have 30+ mpg to flow and make your impact, you only have about 12-15 mins to get it going, and Maxiel and Flipp are exactly whats needed to come of that bench and get it done.
I didn't see the game but tuned into the audio just before the half. The stat at the time indicated that even though the Pistons were up 2 at the time they were getting pummuled in the paint 30-18. Looks like we held them to only 10pts the rest of the way as they finished with 40-34 advantage. The lack of rebounding by the Pistons and the foul descrepancy was the difference in the game, but it sounded like the Pistons just came out flat to be the third and the grizz seldomed missed and if they did, they still got to the free throw line. They have played 8 games now. Tay and Sheed have to realize that Ben is not there to grab any boards for them and they have to attack the rim in the paint at both ends of the court. What happen to Delfino? 0-5?? Did he attempt any shots in the paint? Not even a FT attempt. I appreciate getting the ball to the open man, but what happen to driving to the rim for high % shot and at least drawing a foul? In each game he s taking more 3ball attempts that the conventional shot. CB had no FT attempts either. He is the best FT shooter on the team and will need to post smaller guards up to get to the FT line more often if it means getting free points on the board. DWade, and AI get 8-10 FTA a game, and as in Wade's case it work's well enough in the post season to advance your team along to even getting a ring!!! :(
went to the game but got there at halftime. it was really an atrocious effort, and everyone was a step slow. i think a lot of the bench players were tired from the night before and not used to so many minutes or a back-to-back. maxiell was 7-14 but had some poor shot selection, shooting too early in the clock and not looking around for other players. he did draw 2 charges though. flip did the same with poor shot selection, but did a great job when he drove and got in the paint. i'd gripe more about maxiell's 14 shot attempts, but at least he made half of them, while delfino not only took bad shots but missed all of them. rebounding is going to be a huge problem this year, especially if our guards can't snag a few (delfino only had 2 in 28 minutes, and nazr had ZERO in 26 minutes). the fact that our leading rebounder was maxiell with 6 is not encouraging. but again it's just a preseason game, our guys were tired, and it's not a huge deal. amir johnson was the story tonight. his first basket was a beautiful post move where he easily got by his defender. his second basket was an INSANE alley oop from lindsey. i have NO clue how he got it because lindsey threw that ball really, really high into the air, yet amir came down with it like it was nothing. in 7 minutes he had FOUR blocks and honestly looked like ben wallace on each of them. he has a chance to be a special, special player. in the preseason he is 18/22 from the floor (82%) and 10/13 from the free throw line (77%). hopefully the highlights recap from NBA.com won't give a 404 error sometime in the near future so you can all see the alley oop dunk, it was nuts.

Hey All,
I have finally almost finished my mini Star Wars home theater and wanted to share some pictures. The only thing I have left to do is hang 3 more posters, add 2 more seats, and build an elevated box for the chair in the back. I have not decided if I want the other 2 chairs to be gamer chairs or oversized bean bags. This is a great room for me and my son to enjoy movies and XBOX in (except he is only 21 months old, so it is mostly for me right now!)
Sorry for some of the poor pictures, I wanted to show the lighting without the flash and a few came out blurry.
I custom painted Vader's Tie Fighter, although you can hardly tell in the picture. I hated that nasty blue color it came in.
This new Milleniunm Falcon is one of my favorite pieces!
These are also some of my favorite pieces. All the original, unused, Burger King glasses that I collected when I was a kid. They came out in the late 70s and early 80s.
Also, notice my original ROTJ lunch pale and thermos? I used this as a kid. Bring back memories for anyone?

'Said forward Jason Pominville: "We definitely played better. That's our main concern. Our special teams were terrific. We got three goals early; our penalty kill killed off a five-on-three early (and) didn't even give them a shot on net, which definitely created momentum. It was fun to see our power play rewarded like that."'

Bought myself a 7.62x25mm barrel to fit a 22mm trunion. I plan to have it turned down a bit to accept a rear sight block as well. I'm leaning in one of two ways as what to do next. Either:
A. put a gas block in the usual place and build a pump action Ak in 7.62x25mm. This has it's advantages in that it would be pretty easy for me to do, wouldn't require any permanent alteration to the barrel or welding of the bolt, front trunion etc... And that it will cycle any loads, including those neat subsonics loaded with 150gr bullets in the x25mm case. If I want to make it semi auto later on, it should still be possible.
B. Make it gas operated with a short gas system. I don't want to do blowback because of the amount of welding needed, and it's irreversible. I would want the gas block at about the same place as a krinkov. Ideally I would like to use regular length handguards, so maybe just slightly longer than a krink, though I would run into problems with the HG retainer. I think with a short gas system, shortened recoil spring, and maybe a bit of weight shaved off the carrier, I could get it to work. The only irreversible part is the carrier.
So which sounds like a better idea? I'd rather have a semi auto, but I'm concerned it won't work. I've studdied the gas op-7.62x25mm Ak PBB built, and I'm hoping by taping the gas closer to the chamber with the same dia gas port, and a shorter lighter piston, that I can get away with removing less weight from the carrier. My only hesitation is removing that hump from the very back of the carrier, since it keeps the hammer from striking the carrier before its fully in battery... I want to keep that intact.

So, as some of you already know, I bought a used Jango suit from a 501st here. I have a bit of work to do before I can call it ready so...
I am looking to buy a jetpack, a set of westars and I really need a cod piece. The one that came with my suit is terribly inaccurate and doesnt allow for me to have any manhood because of how flat it is.
I am hoping that someone can refer me to a few build threads on the rope belt, and molding the armor to fit your chest better.
Thank you everyone so much in advance. I know us newcomers are hard to deal with:confused

Box Score
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Senior goalie Kyle Feeney stopped 14 shots to backstop another suffocating defensive performance, and freshman Thomas Flibotte scored three second-half goals to lift Bucknell to a 7-4 win over No. 9/13 Massachusetts on Saturday at sunny Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Bison scored all seven of their goals in the second half and improved to 4-1 on the season, while the Minutemen fell to 3-3.
In its most recent contest against Navy, Bucknell kept the Midshipmen off the scoreboard for the final 51:08 and won 11-2. The Bison extended that scoreless streak to 67:50 -- more than a full game of shutout defense -- before UMass's Andrew Sokol finally got one past Feeney at the 13:18 mark of the second quarter. That goal broke open a scoreless tie, and the Minutemen would go on to add another one in the second quarter to take a 2-0 lead after an opening 30 minutes dominated by the defenses and goaltenders.
Flibotte, already a two-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week, got the Bucknell offense going in the third quarter. He broke up Zachary Oliveri's shutout bid with a hard lefty shot from 15 yards out at the 9:49 mark, and just 1:41 later he ducked under a defender and fired with the right hand into the upper right corner to tie the game at 2-all.
The Bison took their first lead of the day at 5:49 of the third when David Dickson picked out Chase Bailey on the right wing to make it 3-2. UMass tied it again with 2:31 left in the period when Kyle Smith scored the second of his three goals, coming on an interior feed from Bobby Tyler.
Another Bison freshman scored back-to-back goals to give them the lead back for good. This time it was attackman Sean Doyle capitalizing on an unsettled situation in the opening minute of the fourth period. Bucknell lost the ball but then took it right back. Dickson picked up the loose ball on the right flank and passed back to Doyle, who scored from distance give the Bison a 4-3 lead. On the next offensive possession, Doyle came from behind the goal and stuffed a shot past Oliveri to make it 5-3.
The Minutemen got back within a goal with 8:33 to go. With Feeney still scrambling back after a 10-man ride, Grant Whiteway found Smith, who shot it into an empty net.
Bucknell got a critical insurance goal from reserve middie Ryan Joseph with 6:22 to play. Joseph's first goal of the year came on a hard lefty runner from the left wing, giving the Bison their two-goal lead back.
Then the Bison defense took over. The man-down unit killed off a 60-second penalty, and Feeney made five saves in the final 2:29 to keep the Minutemen off the board. Bucknell tacked on one more when Flibotte completed his hat trick, beating a double team before shooting into an empty net with Oliveri out of the crease.
Since falling 12-11 at Mount St. Mary's on Feb. 17, the Bison have conceded a total of only 14 goals over their next three games. Defensemen Mike Huffner (three caused turnovers, one ground ball) and Jackson Place (two CTs, four GBs) were outstanding, as was rookie long-stick middie Alex Spring (four GBs).
Ryan Gutowski fared well at the faceoff X, winning 5 of 10 against Joe Calvello, who came into the game winning 58.3 percent of his draws.
In addition to Smith's three goals, Mooney picked up two assists for the Minutemen, who are ranked ninth in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll and 13th in the USILA Coaches' Poll this week. UMass started the season 3-0, including a 12-11 win over No. 4 North Carolina and a 16-9 rout of Army, but now it has dropped three straight.
Bucknell finished with a 36-25 shot advantage. Both teams had 14 turnovers and 28 ground balls. Feeney's 14 saves were one more than Oliveri's 13.
The Bison are back in action on Tuesday at home against high-scoring Drexel. Game time is 4 p.m. at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The contest will be webcast live on Bison Vision.

For anyone over 45, this is a must-have. The dosage of lutein (10mg) and zeaxanthin (2mg) are perfectly in sync with the American Optometric Association's 2011 recommendations. The Alpha-Carotene content is in response to recent clinical discoveries (research it on Google). It's terrific that Jarrow dosed the overall Vit A at 52% Daily Value, since we're getting the other 48% (and then some) in our regular diet (fresh spinach, carrots, pumpkin, mangoes, etc.) However, I'm disappointed that Jarrow provides us a meager half milligram of astaxanthin whereas other specialists go with 8mg a day.

An opthamologist recommended an expensive private brand supplement for a dry eye based irritation, brought about by attentively watching computer displays. I found this Jarrow mixture had all the active carotenoids in greater quantities and additional helpful ingredients. The dry eye and other irritations cleared in about three days.

I use to take a lot of a product called Phycotene, created by the spirulina visonary Christopher Hills of Light Force. It was amazing stuff, rich in many of the generally unacknowleged pigments in algae; many nutritious colors. These are the sunscreen of plants that protect them from UV rays etc. and in doing so, build carotenoids that also protect our immune systems. I always looked tan! I was very sick for years until I took lots of phycotene. Christopher is no longer with us, sadly, and those who bought his company, double sadly, no longer make phycotene. I was bereft. It had returned to me my life. However I have discovered what might be a second best-a formula that does deliver some of what phyotene had. There are many more immune enhancing pigments other than beta carotene and this product has a few of them. It does not have the wondrous blue pigment from algae that made phycotene a miracle: phycocyanin. But it does have several other useful pigments: lutein, Astaxanthin, Lycopene, Beta Carotene. Good, I say.

A couple years ago, I never would've believed that a mere supplement would help my over-40 (and failing) eyesight. But within a few weeks of taking CarotenALL, I was noticing an 'edge' back on things, and that I didn't have to keep reaching for my reading glasses. It's now a daily must, and while our friends are complaining about how bad their eyes are getting, my husband and I are managing to hold our own against time. This stuff won't work miracles but it will definitely help the health of your eyes.
This is currently the best multicarotenoid product. ★★★★☆

I read a lot of scientific studies and here is a summary of carotenoid amounts 1 capsule contains. //Optimal amounts: Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Lycopene. //Too small amounts so you have to buy separate capsules for these: Astaxanthin, Alpha Carotene, Beta Carotene. //See my profile for more reviews.

This product has all the necessary ingredients for supporting healthy eyes. I know we need to be careful to not take too much Lutein, but I take 2 gel tabs twice a day amounting to 40 mg of lutein per day ans it seems to work for me for total support. The only supplement I add is Bilberry, either liquid or caps.

Phoenix Holds on for 3-2 Road Win at Cleveland State
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
CLEVELAND, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Behind a career-high 22 kills from senior Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.), the Green Bay volleyball team (13-13, 8-5 HL) jumped out to a 2-0 advantage and held on for a five-set (26-24, 25-18, 23-25, 22-25, 15-10) victory at Cleveland State (14-12, 4-9 HL) Friday night at Woodling Gymnasium. The win kept the Phoenix in a tie for third place in the Horizon League standings with just one match remaining on the regular season schedule.
Van Zeeland hit an impressive .362 for the match and also had six block assists, helping the Phoenix post 17 team blocks in the win.
"Leah just really stepped up tonight and put the team on her back," Green Bay head coach Michaela Franklin said. "She played big down the stretch and just became possessed with winning. She was swinging to score and was also a big part of our blocking success. She definitely took care of her job tonight."
Four different Phoenix players finished with at least six blocks in the match, and four registered double-digit kill totals.
Along with Van Zeeland (6) and sophomore Mikaela Gunderson (Casco, Wis.) (10), senior Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) and sophomore Taylor Kasal (Westmont, Ill.) also posted six blocks apiece. The 10 blocks by Gunderson marked a career high, and the sophomore also finished with 11 kills for her first career double-double.
Kasal also notched 15 kills and 12 digs on the night for her second double-double of the year. Freshman Shannon Hurley (Connellsville, Pa.) was fourth Green Bay player in double-digit kills with 11.
Sophomore libero Jillian Bauer (Verona, Wis.) also had a career night on Friday, picking up 36 digs – the fifth-highest total in school history. Sophomore setter Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.) had another excellent match for the Phoenix as well, registering 58 assists, seven digs and four total blocks.
After escaping with a 26-24 win in the opener, Green Bay rolled to a 25-18 triumph in set two to open up the 2-0 advantage. The Phoenix block was key in the first two sets, as the visitors posted nine team blocks in the two wins. Gunderson had five of her career-high 10 blocks in sets one and two.
The Vikings came out firing after the break, opening up a 17-11 lead in the third and forcing Green Bay to call its final timeout of the set. The Phoenix was able to rally and cut the CSU lead to 24-23 thanks to eight Van Zeeland kills in the set, but the home team avoided the sweep with the 25-23 win.
Green Bay overcame a 5-0 deficit in the fourth to take a 17-15 lead late, but the Vikings scored 10 of the set's final 15 points to win 25-22 and send the match to a fifth and final set.
The Phoenix controlled the fifth, opening up a 10-5 lead on Van Zeeland's career-best 22nd kill of the match. The Vikings got it to three late at 13-10, but back-to-back kills by Gunderson ended the set and the match at 15-10.
Green Bay heads to Youngstown State for its regular season finale on Saturday at 5 p.m. CT. The Phoenix is tied for third with Oakland (8-5) in the Horizon League standings, and is one match ahead of YSU (7-6).

Top Dead Center
How can u tell when engine is at Top Dead Center #1 Piston Compression Stroke?? The Engine is a 1978 Ford Pinto 2300 ovrhead Cam.
I am having trouble getting the engine to start-- I have tried numerous suggestions but it will still not start and seems to be getting hard for it to even turn over........
Any hel would really be appreciated
Mike, pull the plugs, put your thumb over the #1 plug hole while someone turns the engine over slowly BY HAND. When you feel pressure escaping from the cylinder, start watching the pointer and TDC mark on your balancer or wherever the reference mark is on your Pinto. You're coming up on the compression stroke and when the pointer and mark are aligned you're very close to TDC, unless you've done something to the cam/crank timing gears or chain. When you're there, trace the #1 plug wire to the distributor cap, mark the side of the housing where the #1 tower is, pull the cap and see if your rotor tip is pointed at or near it. If it's not, chances are the distributor needs to be lifted, rotated and set back in to align things. Put it all back together and hit the key, leaving the distributor snug but movable to make a quick timing adjustment as soon as it starts to keep it running until you can do an accurate timing set. You may have to rotate the distributor a small amount back and forth to get it fired, but not much.
Uuummmm, don't lean over the carb, if the timing is far off you could singe things.....
Good Luck, Larry
The ford 2300 is also famous for stripping the rubber timing belt. Easy to change too. I used to re-install them with the cam one full tooth advanced, everyone loved how they ran!!!
thanks guys for the information, but sorry to say this Pinto Engine is missing the cam cover and pointer--so how do I get around that, and the one tooth advance on the cam how do you do that..
Cylinders 1 and 4 are companion cylinders.
Remove timing belt, pull the valve cover, rotate the cam with a wrench until number 4 is on overlap then number 1 will be on compression, rotate crank till 1 and 4 are at TDC, pull distributor cap and get rotor pointing to number 1.
Reinstall the belt, put everything else back together, and start it up.
If you must rotate the crank of assembled engine always turn crank in direction of normal rotation. Going backwards is a good way to strip teeth off belt. Also much easier to turn over when plugs are out.
Well, with the timing cover off you should be able to see the cam and crank alignment marks. I don't know about the Pinto but most have a dimple or other mark on each that needs to line up. Also, some line up one at 6 o'clock the other at 12, some are both at 6 but whatever you have, they must be in line with each other. Do the thumb thing and when you start to feel the pressure escaping look at your marks. You know you're coming up on TDC on the compression stroke so keep turning the engine until they align and you're there.
If you want to be really back yard you can turn it until you feel the pressure then insert a thin shank screwdriver or something similar, let the piston push it up and when it stops moving up note the location of the timing gear, keep turning until it starts to move down slightly, then turn the other direction until you think you're about in the middle of the slack movement. Make sure whatever you put in the spark plug hole doesn't bind or jam in the cylinder! That should get you close enough to try a start moving the distributor a little until it fires.
This should get lots of laughs from some of the guys, but I doubt you have a positive stop tool you could put in the hole or a degree wheel that you'd also need to compute TDC correctly, and it's tough with the head on anyway.
As far as advancing the cam, you just remove the belt from the cam pulley and rotate it in the advance direction one tooth and reinstall the belt. Jmark can tell you the specifics for your car, most after market timing sets, the ones with gears and chains, have optional key-ways to advance or retard the cam, which moves the power band up or down the rpm range.
Have at it - Larry

2013 Red/White Scrimmage To Have New Look
By SUU Strategic Communication
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah, April 23 – There will be a different look Saturday afternoon when Southern Utah University's football team holds its annual Red/White Scrimmage at 4:00 p.m. in Eccles Coliseum: Ladies in the coaching boxes.
As part of the Valley View Medical Center's fundraising efforts this year one of the honorary head coaching spots was auctioned off and Anita Bunker came away with the prize. Bunker and a staff of her friends will coach the Red Team, and while the White Team will be have SUU coaches on the sidelines, it won't be the football coaches. Instead White will be led by the head coaches from the SUU women's basketball, volleyball and soccer teams: J.R. Payne, Debby Baker and Becky Hogan.
"We think it should be fun," Thunderbird football coach Ed Lamb said.
Lamb pointed out that the SUU football staff will be available to help, but that the coaching decisions will be up to the honorary coaches.
"During the game our [football] coaches will be coaching personnel and technique, making substitutions, and we'll have call sheets for the honorary coaching staffs," he explained. "The honorary coaching staffs will be on the headsets and they'll choose whether we're going to run or pass or screen, or draw, or run play-action, if the defense will blitz, use run defense, pass defense, they'll make those decisions. [The SUU football coaches] will give them some counsel as requested but we're going to let them call the plays, the play type."
The selection of the teams will also be a little different this year. In the past the coaches have split the teams, but this year two players, tight end Anthony Norris and defensive tackle Trever McFalls, will serve as captains of the two teams and will pick their squads in a draft Thursday prior to the final practice of the spring.
"A couple of guys who have been given the 'most improved award' during the spring – from where they were in the fall to the way they're playing now – Anthony Norris and Trever McFalls, will serve as the two captains, they're going to draft the teams," Lamb noted.
"We'll [draft] by position," Lamb said. The captains "will draft the first half of the position group, and then the coaches will – with eye toward depth and personnel packages – split up the second half of the position group."
In addition to bragging rights, there will also be a tangible reward on the line for the teams: dinner.
"We've got a donor who has donated the post game meal," Lamb said. "For the victors, including the staff, it will be brisket, with a first-class meal, and for the losers its going to be beans and franks."
Season Tickets Available: Admission to the Red/White Scrimmage is free, but the main Eccles Coliseum ticket office, located on the northwest end of the stadium, will be open during and after the game for those who would like to reserve 2013 season tickets or get more information on ticketing.

After recording her first-career goal and assist in the Griffs' 2-1 win over Quinnipiac, freshman midfielder Kathleen Lawver was tabbed as the MAAC Rookie of the Week by the conference on Monday.
The Stevens, Pa. native recorded an assist on sophomore forward Brittany Krause's game-tying goal, after she played a long through ball through a pair of Bobcats' defenders. Lawver then scored the eventual game-winner in the 52nd minute for the Griffs on a shot from 18 yards out.
The award is a first for Lawver, who has played in five contests this season with one start after missing time due to injury.
Lawver and the Griffs return to action on Saturday in the team's final regular-season contest. Canisius hosts Saint Peter's at 1 p.m.

As some may have seen here...http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/l...version-46585/ I am working on the Mythos Boba Fett.
I am going to use this thread to show my progress with it. I am kinda ditching my ESB in favor of this (which is ESB with modified colors ie, ROTJ colors on ESB jetpack and gaunts, PP1 ears helmet, ROTJ blaster, M60 machine gun modified star wars style, DC15L clonewars era rifle ESB sidearm, a boot knife, trophy lightsabers attached to the belt and a leather pouch on that same strap, a sort of cape cloak thing, a kama with pouches, ROTJ spats) Ive scoured over the pics side show has and some other non painted versions of the SS piece which help in the department of whats what on the rifles.
Now, here is where I ask for ideas and such for making certain parts...the boot knife Im going to sculpt, any ideas for something to use that will work for this. Obviously I need it to be something that can stand up to trooping a con and such. I can reinforce it with a metal pole or something but I do need to sculpt this thing...I am going to custom make the lightsabers also with bits and bobs from other stuff like lightsabers from the toy like and other parts from hardware store and all that. I really want them to look like the ones on the statue. So Ill be working on that. The M60 Ive been in contact with woodchuck (from the FL garrison,RPF CTN etc...does EXCELLENT work as far as arming up the troopers...and BH's. Thats probably the route I'll go for the M60 over the shoulder, I do need some direction for the shoulder strap, havent looked much YET, but Ponte may be able to lend me some insight on the older looking padded strap for the machine gun they chose there. He also does the DC15L which I probably want to carry in place of the ROTJ blaster as I couldnt possibly carry the EE3 and DC15L at the same time. (ideas?) Maybe make the DC15 out of foam somehow? IDK...Id like a SR foam EE3 for this if possible...not sure the likelyhood of both though. Logistically wise itll be hard to carry both.
Armor will be FP, as well as JP. Plan to paint it all the same as the mythos, very heavy weathering. Its not looking like Im going to sell the Fang so unless I sell it I'll be repainting (adding to the existing PP1 eyes) PP1 ears. Nothing cosmic there. I have my batninja vest and neck seal, a ESB flightsuit thats going to be lightened up alot and dirtied up alot to get the weathered look of the suit. I have a set of BFUK shin tools with mojo ali, MOW boots with mojo ali, Darkside ali missile, mojo ali for the GMH if I decide to fill the GMH and use it for this...(not sure I want to do that...) May stay with the ROTJ paint up for that one. And of course my buddy Booboo Fetts ammo belt, and jetpack harness rig...along with custom leather straps for the sabers and knife....
So thats the epic start to this epic Fett Im working on, inbetween commission work, and something else for the wife which another thread may insue when that is farther along. And please any ideas for anything in here shoot away. Im trying to have this done for SDCC, make the trip down there and suit up for the event.

Rooms were excellent size with all amenities The location was good for access to the town Happy hour was great! The buffet was good value and varied
Breakfast was great. There were a lot kind of food and it was good to eat outside seeing ocean. Hotel stall had room call at 2am. It was my lost baggage, but it was not happy for me to make me wake up.
E&O has a special and relaxed athmosphere. It can easily bring back you in time.... The Deluxe room was really spacious and convenient. Highly recommended experience.
Great atmosphere, fantastic breakfast terrace view, very comfortable and tasteful room, pool Staff not always as responsive and proactive as expected
Brilliant! Hotel is like stepping back in time - an absolute must do experience
Nothing Well, The whole experience was bad.From the moment we arrived until we left. We Did not get the room we booked,they insisted on a deposit which was already taken by them in advance shortly after the booking,I paid twice the amount chargeable,and I am still waiting for a refund to my bank account as I paid by debit card.We have stayed in many top hotels in Asia,including raffles Singapore and the oriental Bangkok.You cannot compare this hotel with them.
Pretty much everything
We enjoyed staying in the heritage part of the hotel. It really did feel like going back in time. The suite was very comfortable with everything you'd expect from a hotel of this level. The staff in front of house were extremely helpful. The pool in the heritage section was closed for our entire stay. However the pool at the victory wing was pleasant and not too far to walk. The gym in the heritage section has little in the way of cardio equipment but again, there is a full range in the gym in the other section.
We absolutely adored this hotel as everything exceeded expectations. The staff were exceptional in their gracious and pleasant service. Overall we thought it was faultless. nothing
Everything but most of all the old atmosphere
it closed to many food stalls 1. the staff check-in counter are not willing to give us the king size bed room which we have reserved and confirmed in 4 days before. finally, they gave us after we hv "told" them again and again 2. as we had to catch early flight, we hv told them to prepare the breakfast boxes to us instead the bf buffet, they promised but finally when we check-out at 6am, we could not get our breakfast boxes
Good location Facilities are quite old, need renovation. The bed is too soft.
The price for the room was ok. The service was good and the breakfast buffet offered a variety of choices for Malays, Indians, Chinese and Western customers. Breakfast buffet - in general very nice, but the served coffee was very "American" and some additional Italian/French coffee, Malaysian coffee and other drinks such as soybean milk and hot chocolate for breakfast would be great.
Like ur friendly staffs. Helpfull to guest. My mom was sick in ouR previous trip, cause of havingn surgery. Ur staff really help out by give room that close to lift, also helpfull with wheelchair
Value for money Badly in need of refurbishment,especially the bathroom,this could be achieved at a very cheap cost Breakfast area too small and not enough staff to cope with a rush
Location is strategic facilities and the services is very poor, i have been waited for 45 mins to check in, and they request to wait for 40 mins more for the king size bed which they claimed that the previous customer was still occupied the room even the check out time is over, i need to mentioned it was 3pm that time. Is this the service to what so-call the four star hotel should provided?
Location of the hotel. --
Reception service was very efficient. Restaurant service was not ok. This is common problem as young employee these days were not being train to give 'priority' to guests, take note of their request and be observant what and who need to be attended. No basic courtesy with smile and greeting. I guess hotelier need to constantly address to this issue to make the guest feel very welcome.
Welcome drink at the lobby was excellent service for the customers.. Frequent checks on the toilet maintenance will be appreciated due to faulty or blocked toilet cistern..
Street Hawker food (that's what penang is famous for) was very easily available - it was just down the road.
very convienent location. Night market just outside the hotel. shopping area is few minutes away. Penang Times Square which is the new apartment cum shopping complex is very new, only a few stores open. A bus stop just outside Hotel. Bus interchange is nearby. Air con bus available to take you to local attractions. Notice in room indicate Hotel going for reno next year. breakfast no good, need to improve. Coffee too dilute.
The room was good The bugs was annoying for me and my kids annoying and painfull, pinang is a boaring place very boaring
nothing the hotel is less than average and does not offer at all a good value for money
Noisy wheels on food troley carts after 8 o'clock.
Swim at the nice pool Price for room it is to hight.
Just excellent, we travelled during 15 days in 4/5 stars hotel in Malaysia and it was by far the best place
Best beach hotel in Langkawi. Highly recommend it for all types of travelers. Class and luxury! The Rasa Wing is not really meant for families with kids. The Rasa pool and the lounge do not allow kids. But it's great for couples. Book in the garden wing if you have kids.
It is truly a beautiful resort and looks exactly like the pics. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was excellent-everything you could imagine and from every where in the world. Spice Cafe-excellent all round-food, seating and staff. Wired Internet in room was very good and high speed, was able to download pretty fast. Foot massage by the pool vey nice, staff friendly and funny. Watersports, although a little expensive, fun and entertaining. Near wonderful restaurants outside of resort and tourist stands selling variety of stuff from fruit to swim wear and equipment, and also local crafts. Also not far from other fun stuff like spice garden, botanical garden, etc. But most of all just love the plush green gardens. Our room, although had a beautiful view of garden and pool was called 'seafacing', but we could not see the sea at all through the trees. Was hoping to see the sunset on ocean and hear the waves, but too far. The bed or two beds together to make one big one and using two comforters instead of one. Kind of hard for a couple to snuggle together without falling in crack and not being able to share one sheet. Excellent Wireless Internet in lobby only, should be available in rooms as well.
Wonderful location with always welcome smile in all of their faces. The Rasa Wing is realy the place where you would like to be. THANKS RASA SAYAN! Increase the restuarants variety.
Best service I ever got from any hotel group I enjoyed every bit
Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Friendly staff. Nice room.
Nothing very much. Experience totally ordinary. (1) Not being able to use the room telephone unless I paid a deposit, even when I asked the operator to make the call for me. (2) Overpriced food in coffee house - poor value for money. (3) Driver of limo getting angry with my colleague and refusing to drive her home even after she agreed on the "expensive" price.
You have friendly staff and clean rooms which i appreciate.Thank you we will be back again to stay your hotel.
It is ideally located with amenities within its vicinity, and the environment is quite and peaceful. It is also near to Penang Int'l Airport, and the relocation of the of Inter State Bus Terminal to Sungei Nibong makes the hotel a favourite among travellers. A shower spray next to toilet bowl would be useful.
The rooms were comfy, front office staff and concierge were friendly My blouse was missing from my luggage when I got home
great hotel, lovely staff, gave us nice view room of golf course when requested, location quite good, not too far from Queensbay Mall, but not walking distance, taxi is required but quite cheap. breakfast a bit chaotic and not enough waiting staff but fairly nice food.
I like it for every thing luxry cleaning nice welcoming no at all
Internet access is free.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Vistana Residence. The rooms and the bathrooms are very clean. We spent a night at Vistana Residence. The way to the residence is slightly complicated especially for old folks (i.e. my parents). They dare not to leave the room as they afraid that they are unable to locate the room after leaving the room. The lift to the residence is a bit slow.
friendly and helpful staff. No lounge to have some drinks.
The staff's services and the comfort of the bed... staircase from carpark to lobby
location very good the room too small, smaller than the photo shown on the website, no swimming pool
The location was great.Walking distance to most sights and regular local bus services go past the hotel. Breakfast was very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms modern with all usual amenities.
Very convenient
the location was good The breakfast was dissapointing. I recoomend to eat in the restaurant nearby.
Good location. Friendly staff.
Be forwarded that there is a club on site that plays loud music nonstop from midnight to 6 am.
services and the patients of the hotel
The location was superb, very convenient since its situated right in the city center, within walking distance of restaurants and food courts. Transportation available anytime. Rooms are very small to be graded as a 4*.
Housekeeping staff are very helpful. No adverse comments
The staff are very friendly, they upgraded one of my rooms to the executive floor when I told them that we have booked another room at the same floor. The welcome ice cream was lovely and even my parents in law loved the ice cream to bits! The lobby was huge and my kids loved sitting on the sofa while waiting for us to check in. Our bath room was very big and the sea view was a bonus while taking a bath! Will return again!
The location beside Gurney plaza was convenient for shopping. Grand lobby
View, room both were excellent. Location next to Gurney Plaza very convenient. On checking in the price was lower. We asked if it included all charges & were told "Yes". On checking out RM40/day was added . . . "Service charge & tax". We felt this was very deceptive since they said all charges were included at check-in. However, the price your service showed was accurate.
Service The car park have no clearly show which way is the entrance to the hotel.
The Ice-Cream at check-in! Excellent idea! Slowness of check-in.
The efficient staff Airconditioning in the room and a part of the carpet was perpetually wet
Location is excellent n very comfortable indeed. The apple iflavoured ice cream served during check in was a pleasant surprise. My family and I did enjoy our stay n wouldvrecommend it to our friends The big non smoking sign on the front glass is quite misleading as smoking was allowed in the lobby and ashtrays were actually provided
Gorgeous hotel, big beds, lovely bathrooms and fittings throughout. Lighting is lovely Bed is hard
The decoration ,full facilities, close to shopping mall and restorants Shawer place drain slow, not all water going to the drain
Staff service was excellent. My wife had an acute vomitting on the first day of stay & we had requested for a call-in doctor to our room in the evening. The doctor was called in by the hotel staff very quickly & Ms Punitha Mary, the Service Manager did a follow up with us after the consultation. On the next day, my wife received a beautiful bouquet of roses from the hotel (sent by Ms Punitha Mary). We were surprised but appreciated the warmth thoughts, & my wife had decided to pose the photo of the flowers & our trip in facebook to compliment G hotel. Thank you & we had a wonderful stay in your hotel. Nil.
Beautifully done hotel with modern European finishes and classy black/charcoal wood trim made it beautiful. Tall ceilings made the room feel huge. Nothing but excellent recommendations on the room. The roof top pool was great with an amazing view from the pool bar. I would open up a section of the bushes by the pool to allow an area where you can overlook the city. I think the intention was to keep it private but the view is awesome.
nice bar and pool. new rooms. Checkin was a pain in the a$$. Took 30 minutes- at first the said "we don't have your reservation." Annoying after flying for 15 hours. I showed my confirmation, and the receptionist was still puzzled. I had to call the travel agency I booked through online, who then called the hotel to see what the heck was going on. The front desk staff was polite but unhelpful. Eventually they said it was a "computer error" and manually made a new reservation for me. Sucked waiting 30 minutes in the lobby without a room waiting to checkin. Felt like a criminal in timeout. No apology,
Courteous staff. Nice showers. Good buffet breakfast with great selection Only two single beds or one king bed option
has kids club the gift shop not so appearence.
The services are excellent and the hotel is amazing
When I did make the booking in this hotel, I did realize that this hotel is in the George town which make everything I need available. Unfortunately, this town is very crowded and traffic mostly all time. For holiday, it is better to have a stay out of the city for more comfort. On the other hand, I recommend this hotel for someone who is traveling for business.
Location Price
The room atmosphere was very good, the bed and facilities was good and comfortable. I felt satisfy with the room. The receptionist who served me has no smile all along her service, and the efficiency of processing check-in was slow. I felt unhappy with that.
Convenient and clean. No complaints.
the location is conveniant non
Convenience and price. Food can be better.
The room was clean and comfortable. Nice view. Choices in the breakfast buffet were aplenty. Hotel staffs were generally friendly. The professionalism of the front desk manager could be better, especially when dealing with booking details inconsistencies. This is particularly important considering they are the front line of the hotel's operations.
location, breakfast service
Comfortable room. Lots of space for children to run. Nice pool. Door lock was broken and response was poor. Lost 2 hours because of it and only a meek apology was given. Not a welcoming start.
truly i found it very comfortable with the new look after renovations and i would love to try it again with this kind of customer treating and nice reception
Hotel was excellent value for money. Friendly and helpful staff. Always on hand to answers questions.
This is a business hotel and most of the guests arre there for work. It is close to the bus if you want to go out georgetown and there isfood and shopping centre close by It was a bit far away from the main nightlife atreet
Well managed Non
Comfortable bed and nice pillows. Business lounge was too small. Also sometimes it was difficult to get coffee during the day as it had to be made by staff. Would be better if you installed an expresso machine too.
It was 15 years ago since my last visit to Shangri-la penang and I'm please to find that Traders png still mantained the original charm from 15 yrs ago along its current modern ammenities of today. The front desk staff attitude seems to change with every change of shift. When I checked in and requested a stay extension I was 'treated' to a long spiel of fully booked rooms. However another staff breezily extended it fuss free an hour later.
The very convenient location right in the heart of town. There was no bidet nor seperate shower stall.
Location nearby komtar bus station which makes easily to reach, also no problem in looking for food, exellent Smoking room :( bad odor, can't sleep even I am a smoker
Executive suit, supportive staff, breakfast and the serving staff Lifts - non operative and took long time.
strategic location, helpful well mannered friendly staff
Free Broadband, Lavender Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash. Clean and Comfortable Rooms. Superb and Friendly Service. No lift from the parking. Do unload your luggages first at the lobby.
The hotel are clean and comfort and easy access to supermarket (giant), location just beside komtar which is good access to everywhere in the island by using bus.
the staff in recepition where very helpful but the staff & breakfast service was very poor they never spoke or even smiled would not stay there again. breakfast staff
I like the room it is quite huge and clean, the view, the beach also not very crowded. The staff also very nice. I don't like the taxi or tour that provided from the hotel. The car is very bad, the driver also wreckless. And the taxi that called by the hotel is not a taxi meter, but a flat-rate taxi. Which is a little bit a rip off.
so relax.......... no , just the wireless internet so bad..........
well, i like the swimming pool and the beach view. the floor is dirty,the staff not to say very friendly and humble and the safety box is lock and asked ppl to come over and they promised to come over but yet didn't turn up. Don't expect a customer will wait for you in the room just to fix that safety box and beside we are staying because of leisure. After which they didn't turn up,me and my husband didn't bother to ask again.
the hotel was ok but the sraff was very poor the breakfast staff did not smile and the service was very pooir
The comfort of the bed There's no bath tub
Quick Check-in, friendly Staff Yes, the room was dissappointing. We were in a corner room, with the smallest balcony, Only got half the view of the sea and land. There is a door which connects onto the room next door as well, and i could hear the next door tenants. Also we were placed near the lifts, and we could hear the lifts every second of the night. Quite dissappointed with the room.
Next to beach. The hotel does not provide hand towels at all. When requested, refused to provide extra bath towel for children who use existing beddings in the room.
location,environment and view 1.No free wi-fi
Nothing Simply don't stay there!! It is dreadful, the rooms are dicusting and the food is below average!
The staffs at the lounge were friendly and was there to assist. To me i enjoyed my stay and will be there when ever i come to penang.
The location is very good, just a walking distance from food & shoping centres but not too close to the disturbances of traffic. There is a taxi stand just opposite the hotel. The cost of surfing internet is a bit too expensive compared to other providers.
Nice design of the room. Nice view. This review is not based on the room mentioned below, but on an upgraded room. Restaurant did not serve the in room menu. The water in the pool was very cold.
The hotel is walking distance away from most historical attractions in Goergetown. There is no need to take any transportation if you only plan to tour around the old city of Goergetown.
A good hotel well positioned, rooms a little tired. Shower in the bath which flooded bathroom floor
parking , food. street walk conv. easy excess...cetralise no comment
Its location close to the sea and the heritage area. Reception staff was kind of reluctant to help/advice.
Check in was slow. Rooms were not ready when we checked in even after 3pm
Great location, friendly stuff. Old interior, less comfort.
nothing bad location, poor hotel.
Location of hotel to getting around city very good. Also, when we checked in and shown our room we found the noise level in the next room bothersome. Right away our complaint was recognized and we were transferred to a quiet room. for the price, a good value
Internet connection in the room is very slow.
near with town,quite place...
The deluxe room (upgraded) was spacious and excellent for small family with kids. Good view of the golf course & surrounding mountain. 1. I categorize hotel staff as "fair" is due to our experience during check-in. Our rooms were not ready at point of check-in and made to wait until 6.30pm. But the main insatisfaction is from how your staff handle his customer. He was insensitive and most of our questions were left unanswered. 2. We were very disappointed with your swimming pool service. My family was excited to use the swimming until we notice that your other hotel guests that were using the pool at that time were not in proper swimming attire. What an image and we felt awfully disgusted and pulled out from joining in the pool. My kids were disappointed. Please apply strict rules of the pool for image and cleanliness sake.
1. very friendly recception.. 1. need upgrading air-cond condition
Close to the airport, and not far from Queensbay Shopping mall by cab. Nice little mini man-made rainforrest with (short) paved trails & a bench to relax on. Staff under training happens exerywhere, and that can't be helped. The limo service to the airport is around 65RM, and the local taxi advertises 18RM. The limo however, might take you back for free if you forget something though, and they drive much faster if you ask. My guy also waited, to make sure that I didn't miss my flight. Technically, he is a driver for a contract company, but he was what made my trip when things didn't work out with a delayed flight. I am very thankful to the man in the bright yellow hawaian shirt. P.S. - Some corporate rates around 130RM!!!
Lovely and quiet ground. Spacious and clean room. Excellent cuisine and all attentive staff.
The convenient shuttle bus service to town area. The wire internet connection. Prefer to have wireless internet connection so that my business phone can connect to it.
It was difficult to travel out of the hotel due to the location but it was great that the hotel provided transport at certain times to various locations including the sending of the runners to the start point for the recent marathon. I can't get to go down to the city as i like as the taxi service was superb expensive..
near the beach The parking for guest is not enough. The service is slow.
In all honesty, this hotel was very disappointing. I went looking for beauty and relaxation. I discovered a filthy room (which smelt of smoke, despite booking a non-smoking room), the staff responded very poorly to complaints. I ended up going to the hotel next door (Flamingo Hotel) for a massage rather than use hotel facilities. The breakfast was poor and all the hotel shops remained closed during my stay (flamingo hotel shops were open next door). The hotel was outdated and shabby. Staff response to my comment that I would be posting this information on-line was 'it does not matter to us'!!! My advice - stay somewhere else. Hotel next door (Flamino Hotel) has been newly renovated and was nice. But, the area was very quiet (to the point of being dull). Few things to see. I would advise people to stay in a different area when visiting Penang.
The room I stayed in was large and had enough space for 4 adults. Swimming pool is good. Pool Bar & Restaurant is good. Late check-in at 3.00pm and early check-out at 11.00am, very inconsiderate as the hotel was not even half-full. Breakfast is not up to 4 star standards, very limited choices and not well cooked.
I like the beach...
Its location is convenient to town and also to Batu Ferringhi. Staff generally friendly except one. Pool and beach facilities are great. Yes, parking is a nightmare. Earlier we stayed 4 days prior to this stay and experienced the same situation. I dont think the hotel can do anything about it but it certainly cause inconvenience to us with young children.
The 2 Room suite was very comfortable and quiet.While the hotel was very busy due to Arabic holiday season the staff were always helpful and polite.The bus service out the front of the hotel to Batu Ferringhi and Georgetown was moderd ànd frequent and the indian restuarant over the road was outstanding for quality of food and value.$16 Aud for 2 courses and beers.
It was a pleasant stay....wonderful staff...i will come back for sure..... I was charged for the first day even when my flight was delayed by one day
Good sized room even though it was only a "studio". Nice view. Staff were polite, well presented and welcoming. It's not particularly close to anything in Penang, but for those seeking just a 'resort' it's fine. A little dated looking but clean and comfortable enough. Non-smoking floors would be a nice improvement.
Very nice hotel with good rooms, nice pool and own beach. Georgetown is easy to visit by bus and also all the other places are easy to visit by bus.
The design and location of this hotel is impressive, even spectacular. The deluxe rooms above the 20th floor are amazing. When it comes to the service, food, operations of the hotel however; things start going downhill but despite this I would stay at the hotel again. Some of the food served was noticeably average and some of the staff had been poorly trained.

Reliability, .22 automatics can be finicky creatures and regardless of brand and model you might have to try our several types of ammo to find what the gun really likes. That being said the Umarex guys tend to do a good job. As for the P22, while I don't particularly care for that pistol, mainly due to it's goofy manual of arms as it's a a .22LR the size really doesn't matter and they shoot pretty well.

Arsène Wenger insists he found it tough to leave Carl Jenkinson out of the starting line-up on Saturday - and says he has made major progress since signing from Charlton Athletic.
The 20-year-old missed his first Premier League game of the season against QPR on Saturday as Wenger opted to deploy the fit-again Bacary Sagna at right back.
The boss says coming to that decision was difficult because of Jenkinson's fine form so far this term.
"It was a tough decision, very tough," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "The team was a bit low in confidence and I felt experience at the back could help. Of course Bacary Sagna has an advantage on Jenkinson in experience.
"But I am very, very happy and thrilled with what Jenkinson has done until now and he will play again this season of course.
"It was a difficult decision, but I would like to give credit to Carl. What he has done is extremely promising and he is so young, so where he is now at his age now is fantastic. Two years ago he was playing in League One, and where he is now is fantastic."

Influential South Bronx high school teacher returns to Detroit, pursues law degree
DETROIT (Sept. 1, 2011) – First-year Wayne State University Law School student Shawn Blanchard's life story illustrates just how much one person's actions can positively impact the lives of others.
Blanchard spent the last five years as a high school math teacher at the Holcombe L. Rucker School of Community Research in the South Bronx Hunts Point neighborhood. While there, however, he did a lot more than just teach trigonometry. Blanchard was a strong force in leading the math department to rank in the top 5 percent of New York City schools within the small school network in the South Bronx. He also encouraged students to start a student government and co-founded Men of Majesty, an organization dedicated to mentoring at-risk young men at Rucker. He even opened his home to an Ann Arbor, Mich., teenager he had mentored as an undergraduate, bringing him to New York and seeing him through high school. That young man is attending Morehouse College on a full scholarship this fall.
"Being able to mold the minds of rational yet somewhat stubborn teenagers is very rewarding," Blanchard said. "They are impressionable and yearning to find their place in the world. Providing them with a means to find that place and options for the future, and being a tangible role model, makes my heart leap."
According to Blanchard, he was inspired by his Detroit Mackenzie High School counselor, whose attention and guidance not only encouraged him to graduate, but also inspired him to earn a degree from the University of Michigan and to pursue a career helping young people the way she helped him. "Her assistance had such a positive impact in my life that I made it my moral duty to return the favor to students who may need a similar push," he said.
Now, Blanchard is extending his reach by attending Wayne Law so he can use his law degree to help others in his hometown community.
"I believe education is the catalyst for enabling better options in life for all people," said Blanchard, who earned a master's degree from City College of New York in 2009. "I need more knowledge and leverage because I aspire to provide a high level of assistance to a wider community. I chose Wayne Law because it gives me with the opportunity to be right back in the community that raised me. My decision to enroll at Wayne Law also was solidified by the Law School's impressive track record for helping lawyers find employment opportunities in Detroit."
He added, "I am interested in pursuing business law, intellectual property and education policy law. I believe this combination of legal studies will enable me to better understand government and the creation of legislation, allowing me to have more of an impact in fostering a better Detroit. I love my city and I am glad to be back."
Blanchard, who aspires to one day become mayor of Detroit, has received national acclaim for being a positive influence on Rucker students. He was awarded the Holcombe L. Rucker Founding Member and Legacy Award, nominated for People magazine's Hero campaign and GQ magazine's Better Man Better World Search, and featured on ABC News, NY1 News, in the Daily New York News, and recently interviewed for the website of the Today Show (www.today.com) for his service within the South Bronx and Harlem communities.
He recently was offered a book deal by one of the country's leading publishers that will highlight his experience as a mentor and teacher in the South Bronx, specifically detailing his role as co-founder of Men of Majesty, his decision to take guardianship of a struggling high school student, and the parallels of his own coming of age to those he now mentors.

text: Well we got out again this morning. Ran into my buddy Jason and his buddy Dave who's daughter Karly(sorry if i got the spelling wrong) they were taking out hunting. So, we decided to all hunt together. Was a great move. We had allot of fun this morning. Seen a ton of birds and the kids got some shooting as well. Made some good shots and missed some they shoulda had. All in a day afield. Ended up with 5 mallards, 1 black, 3 GW and 1 BW. I know the kids had fun and we did too!

It has been a bloody time in Taiji these past few weeks. Before the killers took their holiday break, dolphins were dying almost every day. The killers returned to "work" after their break with a vengeance. The very first day, January 5, found them harassing a pod of over 200 Striped dolphins. At first, some of the hunting boats were messing with a small pod, but when they learned from their buddies that a much larger one was over the horizon, they left the small pod alone. When the large pod had been driven close enough to shore for us to see them, they were stretched out over a mile. Fortunately, it was just too much for the hunters to handle and most of the members of this pod escaped. Eventually 41 to 45 of them were killed.
A word about numbers: The dolphin killers of Taiji have gone to extraordinary lengths to hide what they do. It has indeed become more difficult for us to get exact counts. The town council has enacted criminal statutes aimed at keeping us away from the scene. The killers have erected numerous tarp walls to keep our cameras away from their deeds. They have altered their processes. The gutting barge has not been used this season because of all the blood. They now "plith" the dolphins at the cove, pulling them out of the water by their tails and driving steel rods into their spines. The holes are then pounded closed with wooden plugs. All of this effort is expended to avoid blood in the water. Dolphins small enough to be hauled inside skiffs are covered with tarps for the journey to the butcher house. Larger dolphins are dragged by their tails to the butcher. At the butcher house, the bodies are brought in through an elaborate tarp door designed to keep our cameras from seeing in.
However, we do still see. We are always there watching and waiting. The numbers we publish are derived from careful study of the photography. We are able to get fairly accurate counts of the live dolphins as they are being driven into the cove. We can count the number of dolphins who, in rare occasions, are released. The number of which we can be absolutely sure is the number taken into captivity. We watch and photograph the marine mammal trainers from the Taiji Whale Museum, the Dolphin Base (swim with dolphin program), and the Dolphin Resort Hotel who join with the killers in the cove. We watch and photograph these trainers as they joke and socialize with the dolphin killers. They know their hands are bloody and we know it too. There is no escaping it, as long as dolphins are being killed in Taiji, then any dolphin taken from the wild in Taiji is taken in blood.
The numbers that are not trustworthy are the larger numbers of murdered dolphins supplied by the killers themselves. Time and again we hear their numbers and know there is no way they can be accurate. Perhaps they inflate their numbers to avoid having to admit that there are fewer dolphins in the sea than before. Perhaps they inflate their numbers to hide the fact that we are saving lives here by our presence. Who knows, but these are men who bring shame to their country. It is not hard to accept them as liars as well.
The government of Japan is truly frustrated by Sea Shepherd. It is frustrated by our activities in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary where we successfully keep them from killing as many whales as they would like. It is frustrated by our continued presence in Taiji and especially by the bombardment of calls its embassies receive from around the world. The government and law enforcement officials in Wakayama Prefecture are frustrated at our continued presence in Taiji. They have to deploy large numbers of police officers and spend budget-busting funds in order to do so. They are even frustrated that their attempt to intimidate us by arresting Erwin backfired. There are now more Cove Guardians making their way to Taiji than there even would have been had he not been arrested. The townspeople of Taiji are frustrated by our presence and the presence of the police. The dolphin trainers are frustrated by our presence and go through great lengths to hide from us. The dolphin killers are frustrated at our presence, the extra work it causes them, and their dishonor our presence exposes.
There is a solution. Stop killing dolphins in Taiji and Sea Shepherd will go away. You want your town back? All you have to do is quit killing dolphins! If the killing stops, Sea Shepherd will leave. It is that simple. Keep killing though, and Sea Shepherd will remain. We are looking at extending the campaign to a year round presence. Just think what that will cost the government in additional police response. Just think of the disharmony our year round presence will bring.
The efforts to hide from us are not as successful as the killers and trainers would like. In the video from December 22, 2011, watch as this not quite dead dolphin attempts to extend its life. In the video from January 6, 2012, watch as heads, blood, and gore from the Striped dolphins killed the day before are dumped into a bin. View the January 6 photos of the "flying" dolphin at the Dolphin Resort Hotel and view the January 8, 2012, photo of the bloody water in the cove.
As of January 8, 2012: 371 to 435 dolphins have been killed in Taiji this season. Another 45 have been taken captive for the entertainment industry. On this date last season (January 8, 2011), 549 to 554 had been killed and 138 had been taken captive.
Want to help? Call or write to the Japanese embassy or consulate near you and make a donation to support our efforts. Want to join us? Write to me at email@example.com. We will be here until the killing stops.

The Canisius baseball team opened MAAC play with a doubleheader sweep of Saint Peter's University at the Demske Sports Complex on Friday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won 9-3 and 11-4 to improve to 13-7 on the season and start conference play with a 2-0 record for the fifth time in the last seven seasons.
Game One — Canisius 9, Saint Peter's 3
Canisius batted around in the bottom of the second, using four singles and a Saint Peter's error to take a 4-0 lead. Senior Jimmy Luppens started the inning with a single. After a walk to sophomore Brett Siddall, freshman Christ Conley sent a fly ball to shallow left field. The ball landed in front of the leftfielder, but bounced past him and allowed Luppens and Siddall to score with Conley advancing to third base. Senior Ryan Coppinger followed with an RBI single and scored later in the inning on an RBI groundout from freshman Jake Lumley to make it 4-0.
The Griffs batted around for the second consecutive inning and scored four runs. Junior Connor Panas sent a triple to the fence in left-center field, scoring Luppens. Conley had an RBI single and senior Shane Zimmer added a two-out, two-RBI single to make it 8-0.
The eight runs would be more than enough for junior Rohn Pierce. The right-hander went eight innings, allowed three runs and seven hits, walked two and struck out three to improve to 4-1 on the season. Senior Mike Tolsma pitched a scoreless ninth inning.
Five Golden Griffins posted multi-hit games with Panas having two hits and two RBI and Coppinger posting two hits and scoring two runs.
Game Two — Canisius 11, Saint Peter's 4
Canisius took the lead right out of the gate, scoring five runs in the bottom of the first, sending 11 batters to the plate and forcing Saint Peter's starter Frank Morris to throw 58 pitches while working four walks. Junior Jesse Puscheck hit a double down the left-field line while senior Jose Torralba flared a single to left field to score two runs and give Canisius the quick 3-0 lead. Senior Jesse Kelso and Bernick forced home runs with bases-loaded walks to put the Griffs up by five runs.
An RBI single from Torralba in the second scored the sixth run of the game. Canisius pushed across two more runs in the third on RBI singles from Zimmer and Luppens. In the fifth, Panas had an RBI triple and Luppens had another RBI single. Siddall added a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Sophomore Alex Godzak improved to 3-2 on the season by allowing four runs in five innings and striking out four. Junior Brandon Bielecki threw two scoreless innings of relief.
Canisius and Saint Peter's are scheduled to conclude the three-game series on Saturday, with first pitch for the nine-inning game set for noon at the Demske Sports Complex.
Game Notes: Canisius and Saint Peter's opened the MAAC schedule against each other for the second consecutive season… Canisius opens MAAC play 2-0 for the fifth time in the last seven years… The Griffs have now won 18 of the last 22 meetings with the Peacocks… Puscheck has now reached base in 24 straight games… Canisius batted around three times on the day and has now batted around eight times on the season.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by xy3026rosa, Mar 20, 2011.
Tatiana Volosozhar
Are there 2 of these threads?
Don't forget that Dick Button was married to Slavka Kohout (Janet Lynn's coach) for a period of time.
Weren't Josh Farris and Angela Wang dating for awhile? He was in a relationship on facebook IIRC until sometime this past fall. Not sure if it was Angela but I think I heard that somewhere lol. Of course they are like 15 but anyways still cute.
Who is with Jeffrey Buttle? He is so cute and I love his skating.
I dunno, but I think it's a male if anyone.
Polina Shelepen and Ivan Bich
based on posts from her FB and shots taken from junior worlds
also Polina K. but maybe the guy in the picture is just her childhood friend
Lol Polina said on her formspring that she does not have a boyfriend. But they do look very nice together! Also why is Shelepen sitting on Agafonova's lap and spreading her legs so far in a bunch of those pictures?? Made me laugh, is she trying to be funny or does she not understand that sitting like that may give people the wrong impression...
OT that's a great shot of Adelina in the black dress and heels. I always thought of her as being cute in a little kid way, but she looks quite beautiful and grown up in that picture!
really ? well that can't always be true
there are many other two candid shots of them,
Bich is 16 yrs old same age as Shelepen
I am noticing it too on most of her candids, Im thinking, Polina S. could be tomboyish personality off ice and just really doesn't care if she always spreads her legs in public.
i know some people have already replied to this, but i just couldnt help. and yes, you missed reading the previous pages before posting
Bich just turned 19. But they are cute!!!!
If she was wearing a dress or a skirt, I could understand Jeans not so much but then again, I'm a tomboy
Do you mean Polina A.? That's Murad Kurbanov, a fellow figure skater, she is with and they seem like good friends.
And besides they are too young for us to discuss. Now Bush and Bobrova seem friendly
I did not know Bich is 19 ???
and yes I am talking about Polina K. not Polina A., scroll down those pictures
there is a picture of Polina K. with a guy in long sleeve and pictures of them
as young kids. He could be her brother or just a friend ? but they look sweet
lol at Bobrova is such a cougar
I can't recognize Polina K. to save my life
Hey as long as he is legal and willing
Polina K is the brunette with the thin oval-shaped face in the pictures with the tall boy with headphones around his neck. I assume that is the boy in question. Idk if he is a boyfriend or just a friend. They too, look nice together. Shelepen has a fascinating hair color, it looks blonde, red, and brown depending on the picture.
Oh okay. Maybe I'll go back later and look for it
Bobrova and Bush? Where did you get that from?
so who is gwendal with now?
You know teenagers post the funniest photos on their facebook pages
besides I said they looked friendly, take it however you want
I recently heard that Yuka and Jason have split, does anyone know if this is true? How will they coach their students?
I saw on facebook that Rockne is engaged to Stefania Berton.
Patrick has publicly talked about his romance with Tess Johnson? Certainly the fans who want him to change coaches discuss it a whole lot. And you can find his pictures of Tess and him together posted in various places.
So how long have they been a couple? I recall in 2011 she was dating Florent Amodio.
I see that she waited for him while he was in jail. I hope he doesn't ever drive again.
Did Roman have any children with Julia Lautowa?
There has been a rumor that they are splitting up, but I don't know if it's credible. If they are ending their marriage, I hope their affairs can be resolved amicably and in private.
Elena I is maybe dating Morozov
Albena and Maxim have been a couple since 2000 and have a two year old son Daniel. Roman didn't have a child with Lautowa he has a two year old girl with Domnina.
I hope it's not true, but if it is, let it be done just as you suggest.
John Kerr used to be with Jessica Crenshaw, but I believe he's in a relationship with someone else (not sure if she's a skater).
Todd Eldredge is remarried, and this time to a former US figure skating pairs' competitor, Sabrina Corbaci. The trained together in SO CA in the early 1990's.
They are no longer a couple off-ice, am i right?
If you've ever looked at Elena I's instagram, it's pretty obvious that she is, in fact, dating Morosov.
You're right!
I also learned that she is a fan of Virtue/Moir and considers them the best couple.
His facebook states she's Nadine Ahmed. I remember her from some Europeans some years ago, she was an ice dancer.
I heard that Volosozhar and Trankov are together now, but I'm not completely sure.
To me it's bizarre to partner with someone in skating, and then be romantically involved with them on and off. I guess maybe the pairs skaters tend to be quite older, so maybe they are more relationship oriented and that's why they all end up together at some point. Wouldn't they want a life outside of skating and to keep things professional? I guess not at the level they are at.
