700R4 Corvette Servo question, (pin question)
I am getting ready to mount the tranny back up and before i do i wonder if i should install a corvette servo and 4th apply piston. My real question, being how i have read countless benefits of this, is whether i would need the longer pin? There are very moderately priced kits that have the 2nd servo and new pin, but I wonder if it is really necessary to replace the pin since I will be putting the 4th apply servo on also. Thanks for the info! :D
What type of vehicle are we talking about first of all , are you wanting a firmer shift ?
As for the pin most of the time you can get away with using the same pin and some times you have to grind the tip just a little to achieve proper band clearance.
Putting in the vette servo will not change band clearance but changing to an after market 4th servo cover,piston can change band clearance.
1/16 - 1/8 '' is ideal band clearance in most 700r4's , here is how you can check it >>>
Before you remove the original servo cover either mount the trans in a fixture or simply place it against the wall so you can push on the servo cover to see how far it moves inward away from retaining clip because that is your band clearance > that is where you don't want more than 1/8 " , no less than 1/16 " clearance .
After you replace the servo with the ones you choose be sure to check the clearance again , adjust if necessary then .
A day late and a dollar short! I put the trans back In today! ( wild hair up my ***!). It is a 91 Chevy truck 2wd, lots of motor mods done so lookin to "sharpen" things up a bit. Thanks for the info, I assume with the trans in the car it's the same rule of thumb as far as clearances go? Thanks!
Yes, same method & spec, if you have room to check it installed in the Truck.

Lindsay Lohan faces months in jail
(TMZ) - Prosecutors will ask the judge in her criminal trial to throw the book at Lindsay Lohan and give her 240 days in jail if she's convicted of lying to cops in her June car accident case, TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the case tell TMZ that the L.A. City Attorney will be in court, lying in wait in the event Lindsay is convicted. TMZ reports that if the jury finds her guilty, L.A. prosecutors will ask the judge to jail her because she would have squarely violated her probation in the jewelry heist case by breaking the law.
According to TMZ, L.A. prosecutors will ask for the maximum - 240 days in jail. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that if the judge sentences Lindsay to the max, based on the current formula and the fact that she's a repeat probation violator, Lindsay would actually serve between 60 and 90 days.
TMZ reports that the Santa Monica City Attorney - which is prosecuting the main lying-to-cops case - will not ask for additional jail time if Lindsay gets nailed with the max.
But here's the problem. If Lindsay is convicted, she'd be placed on probation for ANOTHER 2 years, meaning if she violates any law, she could be hauled into court again, and possibly serve more jail time.

I have been doing the crate thing when she gets too crazy and I let her out when shes calm. That has worked alot honestly but Ill do some more reading. Shes a great dog and protective.
The manual I have, shows the switch to turn on and off the drive located under the right rear leg next to the soft of the stomach. If you are unable to locate, perhaps desensitization and counterconditioning might work....if you choose to use counterconditioning..you have to be fast on the draw with the positive reward...real fast.
|wolfy dog
You cannot turn off prey drive but you can teach her better impulse control and leadership. practice the NILIF (check out the threads on this). Use crate time to calm her down after exercise.
I sounds like she has to much freed on and free time, leading to her making the decisions.
Regarding the light chasing: as soon as you see that she sees the dreaded light, everything stops and you remove her from the situation. No payoff in any way; no talking, treats, touch, eye contact until she is calm again. This requires leash work for a while.

|We did play lazer at first we have since stopped as she could jump half way up the wall in pursuit of the red dot. She has been through alot of training. She loves Frisbee and I put her in the down position before I throw it. I make her wait until released. Shes a very smart pup. I will try working her harder and the putting her in a spot when she gets too crazy.
You have to give your dog positive, constructive outlets for all that prey drive.
As others have said, tug is a great game to channel all that drive into constructive activities. Play fetch until her tongue hangs to the ground, and up your leadership through formal obedience training, structured play activities, and NILF. Once she is secure with the knowledge that you are a strong pack leader, you checking out what she alerting to and saying enough should be enough to convince her that her job is done.
One thing you can try, is when she does alert you, and you check it out, praise her for the alert. If she continues to bark and go nuts, send her to a spot and make her stay there until you release her.
The ongoing barking at people and noises is because she feels that the whole responsibility of keeping the property safe is on her shoulders, and she feels overwhelmed by it, and puts on a great big show to scare the potential threat away. She needs to know that you can step up and take control, so act in a matter that communicates this to her. I'm not sure exactly how to achieve this, some people have it naturally, others have to work at it, but the end result is the same.
As for chasing light reflections, does this come from laser play? Very addictive behaviour that can turn into serious OCD - stop all games where she is chasing light and/or shadows, and stop and redirect and such behaviour. You'll have to watch her and be on top of this and be very consistent in absolutely not allowing her to chase lights and shadows - redirect her need to chase light to playing tug with you - make other activities more fun and rewarding - play lots with her, so she looks to you to satisfy her prey drive, not kids, strangers, or moving light flashes.
|N Smith
Has anyone played with her with a tug?
She has "crazy prey" (Not sure that is what this is), you need to put it somewhere or she will. How often do you play with her with a tug, flirt pole etc?
|Has anyone played with a laser pointer with her?
How to shut off my dogs drive?
Basically my dog has a strong prey drive. She chases down sun reflections, then chases the cats around. The most interesting thing is she barks at intruders. When the kids play in the street she's fine until they come on the grass, or when this stray cat comes on the grass. I don't mind it, and when I tell her enough she backs off but 5 seconds later she's back running window to window barking at them. I don't mind when she barks but once I verify there's no real threat and give her the "enough" command id like her to stop and not keep going on the protect mode.
Is there any way to desensitize her to the reflections, and the guarding her yard? If some one came on the property like an intruder then great, id like to be alerted but once I give the command I want her to just chill out.
Can anyone give me some insight to this?

Hi there,
I am currently doing a celta course in oxford. I am through week one and already at the end of my rope.Do you know how they assess the students. How can you get a pass or pass B or A? I know it is a continuous assessment but what percentage do you need to get a pass B?

Pros: Powerful, rugged
Cons: B*tt Ugly
I took a long time, but I finally left this ugly beast out on my countertop. I bought it after going through 7 blenders in 3 years. I seem to be tough on them. This one has lasted nearly 10 years now, with almost daily use, making smoothies, blending pureed hot soup and other common tasks. I've also used it to chop up nuts to a smooth cream, making nut mayo. Speaking of mayo - a snap in this thing.
Only two speeds, but how many of those speeds do you use? I start low on mayo, but everything else is done at high speed. If you want long lasting quality, you'll want this one. If you want pretty, you want anything but. The price approximate, I seem to remember it was about twice the price of a "regular" blender.

The two men kiss, then rub their cocks together until Foster decides he needs to get a taste of Logan's prick. Logan licks his way down Foster's back, then darts his tongue in and out of his hole to moisten the hole good. The boys then work themselves into a 69 position, with Foster eventually taking control and standing up so that he can feed his cock down into Logan's eager mouth. Then Foster really breaks his new roomie in when he slides his cock up inside Logan's ass and starts fucking away while Logan jerks himself off. Foster then pulls out of Logan's hole and both men shoot big loads on the blond stud's smooth abs before they fall into a passionate kiss.

CJ, you are on a roll. You may have to start helping us.
Mog, you know we won 2 years ago.
Looks like Vinny entered the score of the Viking/Packer game backwards. I sent him an email. Also, I noticed the results of the Packers/Bears Monday night game on 9-27 (week 3, Bears won 20-17) have not been entered into the TPG system yet. I let Vinny know about that too.
Thanks for asking him to correct this week's mistake. I was hoping no one would notice the week 3 one...
You're proving to be a worthy opponent Nester. Perhaps you should join the Coalition. Dead Heat after 7 weeks. ************** He didn't score the Mondaynite game.
Click on your name in the groups page and you can see that he scored all the games and fixed the Vikings-GB game. He didn't update the picks page but I think the percentages are correct.
CJ, you're tied with me now. You know you're on fire when you get to my level.
Which level are you on?
So, why are there so many different degrees of hell and not of heaven? Seems asymetrical. Hard to believe that fraudulent counselers would be at a lower level than blasphemers or murderers.
I see myself playing at multiple levels....I'm just that good.
I sure hope all of my group teammates picked the Lions today.
[SARCASM] I always pick the Lions [/SARCASM]
I sure hope we all picked Da Raiders...they won 33-3...
I only pick the Lions when they win.
Wow Bill...picking the Vikings this week. They SHOULD win, but they do not evoke confidence. Now Da Raiders have won their last 3 of 4 games and are playing in the most intriuging matchup this week. Actually...JRs choice of the Jets looks rock solid to me. Well...you know the rules. If I'm wrong and these choices fall flat...feel free to mock me as a prognosticator.
Are you talking about the Raiders that got you eliminated from the game in Week #1?
I [SARCASM][STRIKE]must[/STRIKE][/SARCASM] [SARCASM][STRIKE]should[/STRIKE][/SARCASM] will write to praise the Laimbeer clan for winning two games in Survivor, both victories in overtime...and both were of the come from behind variety. Congrats...
Yea, we both [STRIKE]got lucky[/STRIKE] had it all the way.
The PF group is on fire so far today. In the early games, we were all either 7-1 or 6-2 (except one of us...I won't mention detTeam's name, though...don't want to single him out for killing our group).
How is your Coalition team doing nowadays, theeTFD????

Any of the HDPE products lack the stability to prevent flex and properly "back", unless VERY thick. The ability for anything, even 5200, to stick to them for long is what really makes them a poor choice though..
I had a customer use 3/4" HDPE for backing plates, Sea Board (same as Starboard) and in one season 3 out of 7 were known to be leaking. They provided no support and the flexing when turning the handles cause the seal to leak.
A small batch of boat builders tried this over the years, mostly small power boat builders, and I suspect also ran into problems. At the last boat show I did not see any of them using it for backing blocks any more, even ones I'd recalled seeing in the past... HDPE is very flexible and you might as well be trying to bed a Teflon frying pan, sealant wise... Nothing really stocks to it...
Leave the cutting boards in the galley and use known time tested and proven methods below water to keep your boat from sinking or leaking...
Of course you don't need to take my advice here's what the manufacturer says:
"King StarBoard®, King StarBoard® ST, King ColorCore®, King ColorBoard® and King CuttingBoard® can not be glued using standard adhesives. Products like 3M's 5200 work well as a water sealing caulk but will not adhere King StarBoard® to itself or other materials in a permanent bond."
|McMaster Carr sells a 12"x 12" 3/4" thick fiberglass sheet for $30. I just used it for my backing plates. So far worked great. Search GPO3 for the part.
I partially agree with the above - plywood is better than solid wood. But the backing plate, whatever it is made of, should be on the underside of the deck, not the liner as there is a gap between the liner and the deck. Tightening the bolts will move the liner closer to the deck. I would try to get the backing block right under the deck.
As far as epoxying the backing block to the deck, or the inside of the hull in the case of a through hull, I think it is the best idea as it will become part of the hull or deck, strengthening it a great deal.
For through hull installation, see this link: Replacing Thru-Hulls and Seacocks Photo Gallery by Compass Marine at pbase.com
And fiberglass or G10 is ideal. What I do is save any fiberglass scraps I remove from any boat - mine or others as I work on boats - and cut backers from them for my use. Any boatbuilder should have offcuts as well, probably free for the asking.
Example here
I wouldn't use cutting board, or any other plastic, for a backer plate. Plywood is easy to work and lasts a pretty long time.
Solid stock is not a good idea if you are considering using wood. The cross lamination of the grain in plywood is preferred, it won't split and doesn't have internal tension like a piece of oak. I use 3/4" marine ply for through-hulls and I soak them in Smith's epoxy at least twice. I wouldn't epoxy to the hull, as the washer will be removed when the thru-hull is next replaced. Hopefully after I don't own the boat anymore.
I'm about to add backing plates myself. G10 was recommended and it certainly makes sense but I was thinking about hardwood oak for convenience and cost. Home depot sells 0.5"x6"x4' for $13 that would make several plates. Also in my boat many of these backing plates would be visible and stained oak would blend in nicely.
How much advantage is there to epoxying to the hull? I don't like permanently attaching anything and second, I think I have an interior liner that would make this less useful?
|I got a used SS sheet that was a toe kick off a door at a building for free. I cut it with my grinder and then sand the edges smooth and corners round. It is tough to drill the holes but it is strong and looks good.
|Cutting boards are usually HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene). If you are interested in using a plastic, use UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene). It's more expensive but still affordable in the sizes that you would require. We shim skylights weighing many tons with the stuff. It is available, among other places, at McMasterCarr.com

Thanks for everyone's input. I did end up switching to a raw diet and we're currently on Day #5. He's been on raw chicken the entire time and the itching has drastically reduced. The spots on his tummy are also slowly disappearing, with only one little area that is still spotted, and the big dark spot I noticed that had really concerned me is gone. Also his stools are no longer runny or loose, after the initial adjustment period on the first day. I'm assuming that he was primarily allergic to something in the kibble, but since he's still itching (mostly right after we went outside), I've started to add some coconut oil with his chicken to help in case it is a skin allergy or other skin issue.
If he's still itching even after the coconut oil, I'll be switching to another protein source in the third week so I can find out if it is still a chicken allergy then. But so far he has been doing a lot better and I'm hoping that the issues will clear up entirely with a raw diet.
Chicken is often used because it is inexpensive compared to other protein sources. You can feed a raw diet using turkey, duck, beef, pork, rabbit, venison, goat, etc and totally avoid chicken.
Go to www.rawdogranch.com . She has a good section on raw feeding.
Trying a limited ingredient kibble may be the easiest way to start. The fact that the pup is now off of the Science Diet junk is a huge help. I would give new foods more than a week, closer to a month, when looking for improvements unless you see the puppy getting worse.
|I've seen people claim their dog did well on raw chicken but couldn't tolerate kibble with chicken in it. There are a number of possibilities in this scenario, but it is certainly worth trying raw chicken. Before trying raw chicken you want to be certain that he's not currently showing symptoms of food sensitivities. Good luck!
|Raw (done balanced) is definitely the healthiest. My oldest dog does not do well with any poultry and does awesome on a "limited ingredient diet" good kibble, so if you don't do raw, there are kibbles available without chicken. If you do raw and aren't confident in getting all the ingredients or you need to avoid chicken, you could try prepackaged stuff like Blue Ridge Beef. I think you buy it in 2 or 4lb tubes and they have different meats available.
|Dont have a suggestion but i do love me some archer haha
Thinking about switching to raw due to possible chicken allergy
So I think my 4 month old puppy might be allergic to chicken, since he has similar symptoms to my previous dog who was also allergic to chicken: frequent itching, spots on stomach, loose/runny stools...
When I got him about a week ago, the vet had him on Hills Science Diet, and I switched him to Blue Wilderness Puppy (chicken-based, grain-free) and his itching went down significantly, so I'm assuming he does better on grain-free. I'm planning on going on an elimination diet with kibble, provided that I can find chicken/grain-free kibble that isn't sky high in calcium. But if it's mind-numbingly expensive, I'd rather feed him raw, especially since I (fortunately) live in a town where I have easy access to locally-raised "natural" meats.
But with that all being said, the majority of raw diets seem to be predominantly made up of chicken meat. Has anyone experienced a "change" in allergies when they switched from chicken kibble to raw chicken, where the dog can eat raw chicken just fine with no allergic reaction? That would be awesome if so, since chicken is readily available and it would be significantly easier to follow raw food recommendations/menus. If that has happened before, I would rather start him off on feeding raw chicken for a bit and see if his allergies subside, before going into more exotic (read as "expensive") meats.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide! I've never had to feed a dog raw before, or even really consider it, so I'm completely new to this and don't want to mess up my dog's digestive system more than it's probably already bothered with his original food.

|Congratulations on the recertification, that's great!! You both deserve a pat on the back that's for sure
Way to go! Certifications is detection work can be stressful. Nice job, give your dog lots of praise, sounds like he worked his tail off.
We will sometimes send the handler and dog into a pitch black room and the handler has to call the alert off of the dogs change in breathing. A very beneficial training exercise, especially for the guys working Explosive Detection Dogs.
|Daisy&Lucky's Mom
|Congratulations to both of you.
|HUGE congrats to you and Beau!!! Very impressive!
We have a guy with a lab who is new to the team and they are awesome. The lab is 5 and it is his first test but WOW. He started training in OCTOBER and nailed it. The dog learns something once and it "gets it". As a plus, his dog always blows out his nose just before he indicates; it is very obvious. They are both absolutely amazing.
My skills as a handler have been earned slowly and painfully over time. You see someone else come in and do what it has taken you years to learn in a matter of months. You see others who struggle and struggle and never get to where you are. We are all so different but the common point is dedication. I am very excited about this guy as a team resource.
He is already talking with the folks at Maranatha (the primo place to get labs for SAR/FEMA) about getting the next dog.
"In one of the building searches I could not go into the room with Beau and had to call it based on his breathing."
Congrats on the 2nd recertification! I Like reading your posts. That last building search was an awesome scenario!
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
NAPWDA recertificaiton
Beau passed his HRD recert. He was 12 for 12 with no false alerts. And wild man got through the offlead obedience just fine.
Most of us SAR folks realize this is an annual rite (passing recertfication testing) but it is still nerve racking....because there are few master trainers in this discipline (cadaver) and scheduling a test is expensive. There are no fees but we have to fly them in and take care of their expenses or else travel to a seminar. It is well worth it.
Our trainer is retired with a lifetime of experience training K9 officers. The things I learned this weekend (he called them "tweaks") are amazing. You cannot go into one of these tests with thin skin. I have been very impressed with my experiences with NAPWDA MTs. Many of the SAR organizations let folks who have only trained one dog, not hundreds, certify other handlers. I once saw a trailing test (SAR) where the evaluator was an HRD handler who had never worked a trailing dog in her life. For scenario based training, I would go to the SAR folks. For skills assessment, I am sold on the police organizations.
As far as Beau, his main comment was that he is still a YOUNG dog (2.5) and is maturing slowly and not to rush him or look for quick fixes. There were no issues with the scent work or his focus during same. Obedience, sure he passed but we are going to be working on more with more and more distractions to make him rock solid. This was his second certification. Many have not even had their first by this age.
He did some fun things to us though. In one of the building searches I could not go into the room with Beau and had to call it based on his breathing. It was the last hide so I "could" have failed it and been ok. You are allowed one miss or one false indication out of the 12 challenges to pass. We are going to incorporate that into our training.

Ratings for Dr. Ohad M. Ben-Yehuda
Dr. Ben-Yehuda is calm, patient, and thorough. He is very patient-centered; he makes the effort to help you have the kind of labor and delivery experience that you want, whether it is all natural or an epidural from the start. His wife offers an amazing class for first time parents (for free!) and he gives you 100% of his time and attention during appointments so you never feel rushed. My average wait time to be seen was literally 30 seconds, and he remembered both me and my partner from the very first visit.
I cannot say enough good about Dr. Ben. He takes his time with each and every patient and he genuinely cares to know everything going on so he can best serve his patients. He delivered my two grandkids too and he was amazing thru the whole process. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is the best kept secret of the San Fernando Valley.
Dr. Ben is very knowledgeable and up to date on new medical research and takes the time to actually explain things to you and answer all your questions. He never overbooks patients so you don't feel rushed and is very patient and understanding. His office is clean and his staff are very welcoming. I have used him as my gynecologist for 10 years now and as my OBGYN this past year with my first child. Going through a pregnancy for the first time is a big deal and he was with me every step of the way. I now have a beautiful healthy boy thanks to him and I highly recommend him to others!
Dr. Ben is a wonderful caring doctor. I found him when I discovered I was pregnant, from the first visit I was impressed with his manner. Dr Ben does all testing and ultrasounds in his office, and personally calls with all test results. He takes the time to explain every test and the results of them. I had a difficult delivery, which ended in an emergency c-section, but I felt confident through the entire process that I was in the best care with Dr. Ben. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him, and I would recommend him without hesitation to any woman, whether for pregnancy or regular gynecological visits. Dr. Ben's staff is equally wonderful, they are just as invested in their patients and were easy to work with to schedule appointments or answer questions.
Right from the start, I loved "Dr. Ben". He made us comfortable and excited as we began the journey of pregnancy and parenthood. He was kind and smart. Always explaining everything but never going above our heads. My boyfriend and I were both VERY impressed. The office was clean, bright and well run. He is engaging and genuinely excited for you. You can tell he really still finds his work amazing, knowing that bringing in a life is magical. Any question I called in with, he would call me back personally and never seemed in a hurry. He was always thorough. They even offer a free class, in office, to first time parents that was so helpful!! He had a focused calmness and confidant approach in the delivery room. He really put me at ease and made very smart decisions. I was so thankful for him throughout the whole process.
Dr.Ben-Yehuda was highly recommended to me by my coworker. I found out i was pregnant and did not have an obgyn at the time.i decided to give it a try.The Dr.is amazing. He is very passionate about his field and on top of all the current research.He spent the needed time with us and answered every single question we had during a regular check up appointment.He did not rush and made sure all of our questions were answered and all our needs were met.I loved that it was a one doctor practice and the dr knew you personally. My delivery was superb. Not only the dr made me feel extremely comfortable and made sure the "damage" was minimal, but the total time of pushing was minimized to 20 min. I would highly recommend this doctor. I changed jobs in the middle of the pregnancy and the new job had insurance that Dr did not accept. I obtained cobra just to be seen by Dr.Ben-Yehuda.Also, as an additional perk of being his patient is that his wife teaches a class to all new mommies at his office.
Dr. Ben-Yehuda and his staff are WONDERFUL! The care I received was truly excellent and I would highly recommend him. Most notably, I called his office on two separate occasions for day-of appointments and I was seen each time. This level of accommodation and dedication is exceptional and somethings that I value greatly as a patient. Dr. Ben-Yehuda is a professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and compassionate doctor. I am truly appreciative of his dedication to his patients and practice!
Dr. Ben is the most wonderful Doctor, hands down. He always allowed my husband to be in the room with us, ( which my hubby really wanted), took his time, explained everything thoroughly. When I started bleeding at about 14 weeks and called him very late one night convinced that I was having a miscarriage, he took so much time asking me questions and explaining what he thought was going on and reassuring me that he thought everything was fine. Sure enough, an ultrasound that he gave me the very next morning proved that he was correct. I had a healthy pregnancy and an amazing experience for both myself and my husband, thanks to this caring, thoughtful and very personal man.
Dr. Ben is the best Doctor around. He really is so patient and kind, and will never make you feel rushed. You can ask him anything, and he will answer without judgement. Looking forward to my next pregnancy with him.
I had a higher risk pregnancy and a difficult labor. Thank goodness I had Doctor Ben. He did his best to keep me comfortable and informed. Right from the start he spent as much time with me as needed. He is one of the only doctors I have ever had who didn't make me feel rushed and answered every question I had, making sure I understood everything that was happening to me. He even made sure I saw a specialist on the SAME DAY when there was a possible issue so that it could be put to rest immediately instead of me worrying about it the entire weekend. I have had issues finding a good OB/GYN for the last 15 years (since I moved to the valley). I'm so glad my fertility doctor recommended him because I now found the perfect one!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Jun 12, 2012.
I not only like it (as in the board's "like"), but redirects me on your ability of tapping into some historic perspectives. You don't take acid, do you?
Some interesting quotes on Leonard.Yet given the leap Leonard made from freshman to sophomore seasons in college, perhaps not all that big a leap for the Pistons. But does he have impact!He looks country strong, as you might expect from someone who grew up in the small southeastern Illinois farming town of Robinson, near the Indiana border. The old JD (in the mix) would have understood this perceptive observation.where the trend is to spread the floor and rely increasingly on shooters and athletes who can attack the basket and create their own offense. Is this with or without the peacock exhibition of who is wearing the thickest special frames?Talk to scouts and two questions emerge with Leonard: Does he have the basketball IQ to mine his vast athletic potential? Does he have the maturity and temperament required to thrive under the demands of the NBA? Ahem, well Langolis is placing a mirror in front of JD as he contemplated the Darko pick.Leonard might have benefited from another year at Illinois, but his family situation helped push him to the NBA. His father was killed in a bicycle accident when Leonard was 6. His brother, older by 2 years, just finished up his Marines tour of duty in Afghanistan. His mother, Tracie, has been unable to work and virtually housebound for years with chronic back trouble that requires surgery the family could't afford. Wow, this hit me hard. No wonder I turned out bad. Come-on Langolis, don't so reach so hard for the corporate sob-line.He spoke of a recent conversation with former Illini teammate Brandon Paul in saying, "I told him it's been a big whirlwind for me, but it's also been a great experience. I'm working out three times a day, my diet is right, I don't go out. I'm trying to do everything right. I'm so focused. It takes a different kind of person and a different kind of basketball player to be able to do this. If you're not locked in at all times and careful about the way you carry yourself, you're not going to make it. In every form of what's going on, I'm just trying to be the best I can be." No doubt about this: he likes the cooking of apply pie. And we will not entertain further comments about Magic's relaxing episodes.In a recent workout in Portland, there were reports that Zeller, with a relatively polished post game and the ability to score with either hand, got the better of him. Perhaps symbolic of Leonard's issues with feel for the game, he fouled out three times in a span of six Big Ten games last season and found himself in quick foul trouble often. Langolis from JD: our conscience must be revealed and yields.Leonard lacks go-to post moves, yet has a soft scoring touch around the basket and a potentially deadly mid-range jump shot. Combined with his size and athleticism, it's the type of package that fits the profile of a player who makes a big jump late in the draft process. It's more likely than not he'll be on the board when the Pistons go to pick at No. 9, but it would't shock anyone if somebody trades up to take Leonard among the three spots ahead of them, in the same way Bismack Biyombo soared in the final days of last year's draft, eventually being taken seventh by Charlotte, which traded ahead of the Pistons. So in a sense, the end result is the current total knowledge that we will not have a real understanding of what ever plan is cohesive to our advancement. The full course meal is the agenda setting of empty noodles who don't understand soup bowls. No matter, the outer-liner dish served is to quiet the slurping sound of bad media manner and scouts with out professional transportation that have no understanding of the bumpy youth ride. Of course, administration knows best.
All the good apples will be picked off by #9. JD will be looking on the ground for our 1st round pick. Doesn't matter who it is.........they'll be closer to Sharpe than Monroe.
In the process of looking at who we should get, lets look at what we already have: PG: B.Knight. Take it or leave it, this is our PG of the present and future. Its up to him and his drive and work ethic to become a floor general. There are a lot of factors that say he should improve on this (very short period to learn the most difficult part of the game, getting acclimated to the league, etc) and a lot of factors that say he won't. Until we actually see it, he'll remain a talented guard that doesn't excel at creating opportunities for his teammates. Piston4Life. or something. PG: Will.i.am gonna shoot this m-fkin' ball b*tches! Has value as a change of pace guard to teams looking to add firepower off the bench at the 1 guard spot. Trade factor - high. He has an expiring contract, is valuable to a team looking to shore up the bench. SG: R.Stuckey. Had every opportunity to develop into a PG but just couldn't do it. BK's presence seemed to unshackle Stuckey's collider-centric game until injuries derailed him. One of the team's top scoring options. Doesn't distribute well after putting his head down in collider mode. Will probably not be moved. Trade factor - ok. Talented but over-priced as a moveable asset. SG: B.Gordon. What if last year that shoulder was a bigger factor in his struggles than anyone knew? What if this year he shoots out the lights off the bench or makes Stuckey come off the bench? What if I got 8 million to dribble off my foot? Yeah that ain't gonna change. BG is like that drunken one night stand who stayed to cook you burnt toast for breakfast and wants to hit the amusement park with you this afternoon and then go clubbing after you take her/him out to dinner. Your iphone is ringing with other hook ups but how u gonna ditch this in time to hit the next thang? Maybe amnestied. Trade factor - poor. Overpriced and under performing - it doesn't look like a fluke either. SF: T.Prince. Contributed much 'needed' veteran presence and when I say needed, I mean Frankie needed a security blanket to make it through the season. I hope he exemplified professionalism off the court because on it, he didn't show much. Arguably the best player we had on the floor last year, he developed a reputation for stopping ball movement. In my personal, unedumacated opinion, he and Stuckey took a LOT of possessions away from Monroe. Main clog in the SF er, clog. Trade factor - good. Prince is a proven commodity and winner. best opportunity to get the best value. SF: J.Jerebko. Dude was forced to play PF because there was a glut of crappy SFs and a shortage of decent PFs with size. Performed admirably but was outclassed every night. Perfect for a 3/4 sixth man role. Part of the SF clog. Trade factor - poor. He's a hometown hero. We love what he brings every night but its not anthying remarkable. It's like finding a buffalo nickle on the street. The coolness factor is there but when you try to pawn it, you may get 6 cents vs. 5. I personally would prefer to hold on to that. SF: K.Singler. Singler did really well overseas and probably developed way more that he would have here and Wilkins may never have gotten the opportunity to showcase his value to another team. He is set to show up for summer league and hopefully sign with the team. The pistons section on the realgm forums has game footage on him. I was impress as to where he got to on the floor. We need guys like him and Jerebko to make defenders react. Trade factor - high. He's got the pedigree, history and skill set of a late 1st round pick. We have a overload of SF and a need for a veteran PG. SF: A.Daye. Where Singler moved without the ball, Daye moves into the corner. Its like a metaphor for his season. He floats into the corner and disappears in games and in the season he was told to sit in the corner. As much as I want to see Daye make a comeback, I'd rather see what Singler can bring and would rather have JJ take the backup SF minutes. Still he adds to the SF clog with a plus given to his ability to block a shot or two. Trade factor - ok. Dismal. The only way we can get any value for him is if we hoodwink Kahn. We can't fleece Otis Smith any more and Golden State turned over its GM. However, if we want to move him for the sake of moving him, we could get a 2nd rounder or he could be added as a value asset to a larger trade. PF: Maxiell. Did quite well this season. It may have been part of a long term plan as he only played well in contract years. He's seen the writing on the wall and should try to leverage his skills for a long term deal and should opt out. Unless no one wants him in which case, Dumars will offer him a 4 year 16 million extension after next year. Even if he leaves, its not enough salary relief in and of itself to be a factor in signing a free agent. In other words, we're still stuck with an MLE. PF: C.Villanueva. I actually forgot to write him up. Wishfull thinking on my part. There is a possibility that he may play of the Pistons as a 'stretch four' where stretch four = poor rebounding, defense and little off ball movement. Amnesty candidate. I would amnesty the dude just because. Amnesty should provide nice flexibility if combined with Maxiell bolting. PF/C: V.Macklin. Macklin's D-league eye opener gives us hope that he's going to be a legit backup. If he starts, he will be outclassed a la Jerebko but Monroe, Macklin, and Jerebko puts a lot of size up front. Trade factor - low. Unproven 2nd rounder that beat up some minor league hopefuls. Dime a dozen. Factors in more as a guy to split minutes/opportunities with out draft pick. C: G. Monroe. There is talk about drafting a C and shifting Monroe to PF. I have my doubts as he is out-quicking C's. Can he do that to faster PF's? At any rate, Monroe has developed decent positional defense and excelled at knocking away entry passes. He needs a help side shot blocker and another dude who can hold down the other front line spot. On offense, he needs another guy to operate around the rim or to cut to the basket. A low post threat would allow him to get put backs as he did very well in the early part of the season. Pistons4Life4eva. Team needs. I gotta fever and the only prescription is more Small Forward! One of the team needs is to address the SF clog we currently have. Playing JJ at power forward is not the answer even if it is the most convenient option Frank has. At this point Daye doesn't look like he has any upside or belongs in the league so how we turn that into an opportunity is beyond me. But basically it boils down to: 1 less SF Looking at our guard crop and taking in comments at the end of the season, we need a veteran distributor. In lieu of a veteran distributor, we'll be looking at an established collegiate distributor. 1 PG that can pass and run the O. Plus the obvious 1 PF/C with good defense.
Our assets up front include Macklin and Monroe. And CV if he's not amnestied. This is my forward big board Drummond: Would fit regardless of type of game or maturity level. Worth the risk at #9 and probably all the way to #6. I personally doubt we have the assets to trade up but if we give up a SF and pick this guy, JD goes from goat to exec of the year candidate. Sullinger: Besides weak side shot blocking, we need rebounding. Sullinger may not have elite athleticism but he knows how to use his body and relishes it. Having a post threat allows Monroe to come in for put backs. Despite a more developed game, there is potential there if you look outside the box and we do have the support staff to realize that. Leonard: I wanted Enes Kanter last year and he looked like crap. I expect the same to happen to Leonard out there too. Still, 7 footers don't grow on trees. Not the greatest rebounder but potential is like crack to front office types and they constantly nip into the alley to take hits from the lottery. He has the best mix of upside, size, athleticism outside of Drummond. Zeller: We will be talking about how we can get this guy in 3 years like we did with Hawes. Fans whose team drafts him will pine for Drummond while other teams fans will want him to clog the middle for their donut teams. Zeller and Lawrence Frank would get along splendidly just like Wilkins did. Henson: Without bona fide wing threats or reliable outside shooting, there won't be a lot of room for weak offensive players to operate. Henson could find seams to exploit with off ball movement and his length would help him be a factor around the basket. The guy has steadily improved in each of his college years. The only guy that makes CV expendable really is Sullinger...and the Dominican Republic national team. Sullinger struggled against more athletic opponents but he was the focal point of opposing defenses. Sullinger is the one guy who can operate successfully without a good distributor helping him out.
Sloppy has alluded to it a few times recently, but it would be a yuge step forward for the Pistons if JJ could back up both the 3 and 4. Unfortunately this isn't likely to happen with the Pistons and he will probably remain what he is. The Pistons couldn't trade most of these guys with an Uzi.
JD is rubbing his crystal ball and the one who may fall to #9 is Harrison Barnes. I say Joe picks him on draft night.
JD will pour into the cup of experience. He doesn't notice the fur. The beverage experience feels good, but JD will cough up another fur ball............rather than feel the bitter taste of disappointment.
Slippy is right. We need to break up this glut of SFs. I hate saying this, but JJ has a lot of potential. He was a steal in the second round. I would have no problems with him playing 15-20 in the SF spot. He tries on D, and he is generally a workhorse on offense. I love that in players. Really what needs to happen is TP needs to stop playing 35+ minutes a game. Assuming we get a big man, I will take another mediocre season IF Stuckey, BK, Moose, JJ and 2012 Draft Pick are taking up the majority of the minutes. If I have to sit through any more half hour sets of Taysolation's I will cry.
he doesn't notice the fur because its a 64oz coke and a double xl popcorn (he ate the hotdog on the way back to the stands because its tought to carry all that at once.) The bitter taste of failure is easily erased with a snickers bar on top all that. And a kit kat.
This is a nice work up. We are most fortunate that justification levels of picks will come with all sorts of comments of the best available player (BAP). I am with you on the broad pallet of discovering the right stroke. But what is your expressive aspect of internal value? Your deep expressive level that understands that all play upon some sort of internal base.
I don't want Sullinger, I rather pick Leonard or Moultrie instead of him.
Oh, there is no doubt about a falling. It may be the unexpected one...then it might be two. The key is options beyond the pick. How is this going to be transgressed. Many organizations feel like the obvious move is a tell-tale lump of best available player (BAP) that one hopes is going down the throat like so many pork-rine episodes: a cough beyond expectations, the reality of a clucking maneuver from throat manipulations, the ultimate passage of a near-by (hopefully) location of some sort smoothy from a quick gulp of liquid, and the realization that this near-death-experience will not happen again...until next time. Here is the key. Start running-for-the-hills when the coaching (sans organizational level) has a near-by comfort level that concludes the playing field fill with the BAP. Money Ball wasn't about talent, but rather the substitution of what risk management thought was a valuable substitution: the creative energy as backup. It hoped for an association of Matchbox Twenty: "more-than-you think." Like most relative associations, those first strike matches are habitual...the gathering of familiar patterns. There is always a tempest. The certain slow fuse of good life. In recent years, and to this day, most humanistic scholars and most artist have shared in the general collapse of all traditional values. And when these values collapsed, there we not others readily available as replacements. And so today, a very large proportion of our artist, novelist, dramatist, critics, literary and historical scholars are disheartened or pessimistic or despairing, and a fair proportion are nihilistic or cynical. [They believe] that no "good life" is possible and that the so-called higher values are all a fake and a swindle. [We are in] a chaos of relativism. No one of these people now knows how and what to choose, nor does he know how to defend and to validate his choice. The chaos may fairly be called valuelessness. Abraham Maslow
Just not sure if Joe can survive making the other options work........He won't consider other options in Tao............
First off, both of you write-ups (assessing the team and assessing the potential bigs) were great and I almost didn't read them because of this first sentence. I see absolutely NO reason to look at who we already have. We need EVERYTHING so the "best available player" seems like the best route to go to me. ...again, good write-ups though!
I think the best answer to this is in a song. play Short skirt, long jacket by Cake with this I want a man with a 7 - 3 wing span I want a man who plays defense I want a man that jumps like Maxy and swat away shots into the third row I want a guy who's got plenty of upside so we can bitch and moan about Villy some more He'll post up Boozer He'll box out McGee He'll patrol the middle get out and run the floor I want a guy with jump shot and a loooooooooong wingspan! I want a man who's a true 7 footer I want a man who has nice hops I want a man who's not allergic to contact Who uses his agility to alter some shots With hands as soft as melting marshmellows He'll catch a pass from Gordon or Knight He is fast and springy and will dunk on T-mac He is anchoring the team and picking up slack I want a guy with a jump shot and a loooong looong wingspan I want a man who can hit a freethrow I want a man who can score 18 feet On the perimeter he'll be setting a screen and he'll roll to the basket instead of jacking up 3's He'll want to work on establishing position He doesn't want to stretch the floor I want Drummond but I'll settle for Leonard But I won't trade Monroe for the #5 pick I want a guy with a jump shot and a loooooong wingspan!
Somebody between Bill Laimbeer and superman..............
Trade down, pick Moultrie or PJ3. Playing 2 Bigs is out of style in today's NBA. Teams are going small and athletic. JJ fits in well with this mode, IF Daye ever got his head out his rear-end we could be a very dangersoud team. I'd even like to see us trade down and pick a up another 1st rdr, it'd be sweet to draft Moultrie AND PJ3. A Moultrie/GM/PJ3 front-court backed up by JJ would be SWEET!
I think it is more of a matter of finding the right bigs if you want to play 2. The Wallace x 2 could certainly play together today. You are swinging me back to Pervis Jones though with your thoughts.

In honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, the University of St. Thomas Office of Counseling and Disabilities Services will partner with the Society of Macrina to promote a campaign that celebrates the beauty and uniqueness of one's body. The campaign, "Be Comfortable in Your Genes," will run from Feb. 24-28, and encourages people of all shapes and sizes to donate their old jeans and celebrate the body they have.
Inspiration for "Be Comfortable in Your Genes" stems from the Awareness Week's theme "Everybody Knows Somebody," which bring awareness to the fact that everyone knows somebody who struggles with eating.
Jennifer Shannon, Coordinator for the Office of Counseling and Disabilities Service, said the office likes to do something every year to talk about eating disorders awareness.
"I like to focus on body-positive themes to be comfortable in the body you have," Shannon said. "I pushed the idea because it talks about celebrating your figure as it is now."
The jeans collected will be donated to a local charity at the end of the campaign, and both men and woman are encouraged to participate. Statistics show a rise in eating disorders among young men, especially athletes, Shannon said.
"A lot of people can relate to having a pair of jeans that are too big that you're are holding on to just in case," Shannon said. "I want people to think about what's in their closet and why they are hanging on to the clothes that don't fit."
The Society of Macrina president, Brittany Garza, believes in supporting those affected by eating disorders, and encourages men and women to recognize their own beauty.
"Each of us can help by first becoming aware of eating disorders and in the case of this campaign, jean donations," Garza said. "We hope that each woman can see her own innate beauty and the beauty of all men and women on campus."
Counseling and Disability Services and the Society of Macrina will be on the first floor of Crooker Center collecting old jeans Monday, Feb. 24 between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Afterward, jeans may be dropped off in the Counseling and Disabilities office on the second floor of Crooker.

It's off the beaten path amid all the theaters and parties at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, but the exhibit at the Julie Nester Gallery in Park City is worth the detour.
On display until Jan. 30 are photographs by war correspondent Tim Hetherington, who was killed in April 2011 in a mortar attack while covering the uprising in Libya. The photos chronicle Hetherington's coverage of war zones around the world.
Hetherington and journalist Sebastian Junger debuted their Afghan war documentary "Restrepo" at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize before going on to get an Oscar nomination. Junger is back at Sundance with a tribute to his friend, "Which Way Is the Front Line From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington."
The exhibit at the Julie Nester Gallery also has a fund-raising element. Junger is soliciting donations for a project that he developed after Hetherington's death: RISC (Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues), which offers an intensive (and free) three-day training in combat-zone first aid, along with a comprehensive medical pack.

Chauliognathus lugubris. The Plague Soldier Beetle. This wee beast accounts for hundreds of insect identification requests we receive at the Discovery Centre during the summer. At this time of year these little pollinators descend from the crowns of flowering trees to indulge in seething masses of mating activity triggered by hot weather.
This frenzied 'coupling' activity rarely goes unnoticed, especially because of the numbers in which the beetles congregate– we often get calls from people describing masses of these little cigar-shaped critters with their distinctive orange collars in their gardens; regular readers will have read our earlier post about Plague Soldier Beetles.
Last week, however, it seems this beast and its plaguing behaviour caught the attention of the Rainbow Lorikeet class at Dame Nellie Melba Kindergarten in Richmond. The Lorikeets' teacher Adam contacted us with an identification request, accompanied by some photographs and observations of the insects in question from the students, some of which I'll share below:
Grace from Dame Nellie Melba Kindergarten holds the 'mystery beetle' for a photoImage: Adam Shrivell Source: Adam Shrivell
It has 3 legs and 3 legs (from Sylvie). They have two antennae (coming) out of their head (from Andrew and Hugo)
A great start for young eyes – these are key characteristics of insects that separate them from other arthropods
I think it's a stink bug (from Ralph) and I think it's a beetle (From Taj)
These are also good observations. Like the animals we call 'stink bugs', they can emit an unpleasant liquid as a defence mechanism.
I think it's a grass hopper (from Harry)
Harry isn't quite right here, but the plague behaviour is similar to locusts, so still a good observation.
It's a beetle and he flies away and he has the mummy and the daddy and the baby and the dog (from Jed)
Apart from the bit about the dog, Jed is also on the money.
I think they only come out once a year in summer (from Grace)
Grace has also hit the nail on the head – clearly we have some budding entomologists here!
They carry each other (from Lucas)
In a manner of speaking, yes they do – but we may leave this to Lucas's guardians to explain further if required.
Alexander, Lucas and Grace gathering a specimenImage: Adam Shrivell Source: Adam Shrivell
As seasoned respondents to enquiries of all types from the public, we thought the Rainbow Lorikeets were particularly clever in separating their observations into 'what we think' and 'what we know' – in doing so, they were more than half-way there with their identification by the time it reached us. This, along with the photos, made our entomologist's job quite easy in providing the identification as Plague Soldier Beetles.

Re: Mast tabernacle project
Busy, busy, having fun.
I am back on track with this and am determined to raise the mast in the spring A-La my new tabernacle. I will keep posts on this thread. My boat is stored in a yard that shares space with Nautilus Marine a marine metal fabricator. Those guys are keen to see it come to pass and have offered to come over and hand carry my mast to their shop door to weld on the cheeks and the compression tube. I have the full size models made of both the mast's base and the tabernacle. Ha! This year the boom truck was $175.00 each way. Enough! This will be my first winter staying in Maine all winter in decades and I am looking forward to getting a few things done. This is one of them.

Re: Mast tabernacle project
Well , did it work ? these posts were in 2008 , 4 years ago, I have a Bristol 26 , I'd like to be able to run down some inland rivers and will need to step my mast to do so . So did it work ????
Finished the purchase arrangements on the Seafarer 30, had it pulled and placed the hard... now its get the trailer ready and haul it home. Turns out the previous owner thought he had a gold plated boat... thinks its worth 10k or so with only new ports and a waterpump...Needs a WHOLE lot more that that to get to that value. I'm in it for 4300 which upon a deeper inspection is likely a bit high, but its a done deal, plus all kinds of other costs to get it pulled... get the 27 off my trailer and fee it up, and go to Baltimore and haul the 30 home to Ohio. But I do like the boat, has the features I wanted... I'll make it feel better, but it will take more than I was anticipating when I did the eBay bid (yea, I know better too, but some wild hairs cloud the brain now and then... its incorporated into the XY chromosome thing... so says my wife, who is seldom wrong about such things BTW. We discussed it and she left it to me. Its my one and only retirement toy in a few years).

I like those comment greatly.

Re: Mast tabernacle project
Just to ad a little credibility to my concept (as I'm sure at least some of you are saying its a fools pipe dream).
I have lateral force "in motion" stability system worked out for the whole traverse from full up to full down... even in a worse case cross wind.
I have the initial pivot movement mast elongation problem worked out so as to not un-stay.
Leaning toward weather protected simple 12vt gear reduced motors and cabling systems... with manual hand crank backups. Conforms to the KISS rule. But hydraulics are not out of the question either yet.
Getting closer on concepts... time to get the old drafting table uncovered and start drawing it out and do the math. I prefer it over my CAD Program actually.
Re: Mast tabernacle project
It is apparently much more common in other countries. I am also very surprised more people don't do it here being that most yards charge astronomical prices for this simple operation. I guess there are just lots of helpless people here with more money than mechanical ability. Didn't they used to call this kind of thing "Yankee Ingenuity?"
Re: Mast tabernacle project
Hummm. interesting thread. On my 27 Buccaneer I lower the mast via the trailer's high mounted winch lowering to the aft and onto a temp cradle at the stern. It works but then I have to un-pin the base and carry the mast forward for stowing.
I now have a 30 ft Seafarer I will be trailering (yea I can) but it's mast is much longer and heavier than my 27's. I'd like to investigate folding options where it folds down with the base 1/3 going forward and the upper 2/3 pivoting aft... and stay fully stayed.
I'm getting old enough that a "push button mast raising and lowing system" is starting to look pretty attractive.
Has anyone ever seen such a system? Cables?, hydraulics?, compressed air? What are those million dollar toys doing? They are push button everything aren't they? If some factory can design and build something I can too.
No I am not dreaming, and have a full shop with machine tools too. I can design/build almost anything that doesn't require hot casting or aluminum welding. I don't have the tools/equipment for that (well yet anyway).
Yea, I'm for real...

I wish I could share the video. If you are serious about doing this at some point it is well worth the price. Even if you just find this thread interesting it might be worth watching. It looks so straightforward I am surprised more boats in the 30' range don't do it. It will be so convenient to decide when the mast comes down and be able to store it on deck in an hour or so. Repairs, canal transit, storm prep and who knows, there is a trailer for the Islander 28 and I could store it in the yard. I have some "hardware" to build but nothing that is complex. It isn't even a thruhull install in complexity and will save us about $200.00 each way for a boom truck.
I am a little concerned about how to manage the "lever" extending out over the bow. I want to keep the solution as simple as possible. With the boom as a lever I wonder how the base could be un pinned and hauled aft while resting on the bow crutch's roller. I have a couple of ideas. It has to be done without using supports from land. How about a second crutch in the Avon? Ha! I will work on it next.
Thanks for all the helpful replies. These discussions are great.

But bridges are easy, just lay the mast down while still on the Tabernacle. It's getting it from the carry position, to attached to the hinge, that is where the devilish details come into play.
That really makes the dropping aft more appealing, due to less overhang. Does your boat have the raised cabin behind the mast like in the screen shots? I saw one production boat with the mast forward of the cabin like that, but it had a foot high tabernacle so the mast could clear to the rear. I don't think I have a photo, but if I find one I could post it.
I agree, this discussion forces one to get a better grasp of what's involved, and it's helpful to read other's concerns and insights. The best reason to have discussions, iron sharpens iron and all that.

Box score
LEXINGTON, Va. – The VMI lacrosse team was defeated 16-10 by the Manhattan Jaspers Saturday, March 26 at VMI's Foster Stadium in MAAC conference action. The Keydets trailed 6-5 at the half, but were outscored 8-3 in the third quarter of action in the defeat. VMI trailed 11-9 with nearly 20 minutes left in the contest, but were unable to overcome the third quarter deficit. Junior Drew Leonard led the Keydet scoring attack for the fourth-straight contest with four scores for the Keydets, while classmate Tyler Griffith also chipped in a pair of scores. The Jaspers were led by three goals from Brian McGrath and Brendan Rogers in the victorious effort.
VMI (2-7, 0-2 MAAC) trailed 1-0 with 1:45 left in the first quarter before Leonard secured his first score of the contest to tie the game at 1-1. Manhattan (2-8, 1-0 MAAC) would retake the momentary 2-1 lead on a Marcel Godino goal, but Leonard's second score of the contest, this time of a man-up variety, brought the score to 2-2 with 13:34 left in the second frame.
The Keydets went on to build a 6-5 lead heading into the half on a pair of Griffith goals, and scores from freshman Mickey Hofmeister and junior Keith Long. Conversely, the Jaspers had goals from Tyler Jarvis, Brendan Rogers, and a man-up score from Brett Madarasz with five ticks left in the first half to send the score into the halftime intermission.
At the half, Manhattan held a distinct 25-17 advantage in shots, and forced 16 Keydet turnovers. VMI led the ground ball battle 24-13, and won 11-of-14 faceoffs. Junior goalkeeper Kelly McMinn had eight saves in a half of action.
The second half began with the Jaspers scoring five unanswered goals to erase the Keydet advantage and give Manhattan at 10-6 lead with 9:23 left in the third quarter. Leonard's third score of the contest came on an assist from junior Colin Bosse at the 9:01 mark to put a halt to the Manhattan run, and bring the score to 10-7.
Leonard's second man-up goal of the contest at the 5:48 mark off a ground ball pickup and feed from senior Bobby Davis. The score brought Keydets back within striking distance at 11-9, but a 5-1 Jasper run to close out the contest, including a pair of man-up goals, brought the score to 16-9 in favor of Manhattan.
VMI's final score of the game came with 34 seconds left, as Hofmeister found classmate Stephen States. States beat Manhattan goalie Rich Akapnitis top shelf for the first goal of his collegiate career to carry the score to the final count of 16-10.
Manhattan outshot the Keydets 54-32 on the contest, and forced 28 VMI turnovers. The Keydets, one of the top ground ball teams in the country, had 48 to Manhattan's 31. Junior Stephen Robarge was dominant the faceoff X, going 22-of-30 in his chances and had a game-high 17 ground balls.
Junior goalie Kelly McMinn had a career-high 19 stops in the contest, as well as seven ground balls in the defeat, while Akapnitis stopped nine shots in the victorious effort.
Along with McGrath and Rogers, Justin Jensen, Mike Llewellyn, and Brett Miranda added a pair of scores for the Jaspers, while three other Jaspers had a score apiece.
Leonard's four scores give him a team-leading 20 on the season, and 14 in the last four games for the Keydets, while Robarge's 17 ground balls marks the fourth time this season he has had at least 10 pickups in a contest.
The Keydets continue conference play on Saturday, April 2, as VMI travels to face MAAC opponent Marist in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Faceoff is slated for 1 p.m.

Need two diff binocs
Looks like the best bet is to get two binocs:
1. 7X50 - with compass & rangefinder
probably Fujinon or Steiner
2. 12 or 14X50 - with IS (no compass)
probably Canon, Steiner, Fujinon
Apparently some binocs have auto focus, anyone know which ones have this feature.
Actually the beaten up binocs I currently use are quite similar to the two above in terms of power. I find I hardly ever bother with the 7X50's since if I need binocs I want the max power even though it is sometimes "almost" impossible to use them when the boat motion is abrupt.
Thanks folks for your comments.
Fujinon 7x50 + 12x32 stablized.
I think its worth it to buy good binocs...I have Fujinon 7x50 FMTRC-SX are outstanding. Compass or no compass, either way. Defender has a sale coming up, and even their current price is less than Eagle Optics, which is pretty darn good. .
But I also have a pair of Fujinon 12 x 32 Techno-Stabi Juniors, which are really, really cool.
These two binocs serve different purposes, and I need them both.
When you are working your way into a new cove at dusk and you are trying to figure out if that rock is nearer or further than that bouy, you want the super coated 7x50's. They have an amazingly bright image, you can fall right into it.
When you are trying to figure out what the name of the boat that just threw that huge wake at you or if the sign on the piling says visitors welcome, trespassers will be shot, or diesel $4.55/gal you want stabilized binocs. The image is not as bright, and its harder to judge distances and relative sizes, but the trick of a stabilized image and what it does to readability is like science fiction come true.
I know we should support Sailnet, but I just thought I'd mention that West Marine put their house brand Binoc's on sale. The Tahiti model which was given rave reviews by Practical Sailor was knocked down $90 from $29x to $200.
There is also a 10% off coupon floating around plus, if you use a referral site (like Fatwallet Fatcash) you get an additional 4% off.
I love you sailnet, but times are really tight...
Fortunately my job allows me to use some nice optics. Like I said earlier, I have the $700 Fujinon 7X50 and I loved them. Out on the water though, as we would make our approach to a boat it became apparent that the guy with the binoculars could not read the boat registration any sooner than the guy without the binoculars because of the motion. I picked up the Cannon 10x42 binoculars. On a calm day, you could read boat numbers from a distance on the fly, although with any chop, we would have to slow down to around 10 knots. I could read crab pot buoy numbers from great distances too. S.D. is right that they are not as bright as the 7x50's at night, but the steadiness almost makes up for it.
Now I'm not a big spender. When it comes time to buy a nice set of binoculars for my boat I haven't decided whether the extra money is worth it or not, but I certainly haven't ruled it out. I've been watching local pawn shops to see if I can pick up a set for a reduced price. I would love to give the real expensive IS binoculars a try sometime to see what they're all about, but on second thought, then I would know what I'm missing.
Ok... honest question:
For those that have switched over to the stabilized, did you like them that much better? Honestly?
I have used them once, but have no real experience with them. I have found that I can make a good set of binocs work really well (the better the eye relief, the better the binoc to me). The trick is to stabilize yourself and hold the binoc slightly away from your eye in a sea. Let your hands float up and down with the object. Keeps you from losing your balance and helps to aquire a target better as you simply watch the target then pull the binocs up to your eye (but not touching... very important). I was taught that a binoc should never touch your face. That is where the large eye relief really helps.
I have also found the Fuji's to have the best relief, though I almost went for a set of Steiners (which kinda seemed to me more marketing than actually better). My parents agreed, incidentally. I have both the "cheaper pair" and the high-end military spec (thanks mom and dad for a great Christmas Present). For a "cheap" binoc (around $200 IIRC) the Fuji's are great. However, once you go to the high end Fuji's or Steiners, it is hard to go back. I will admit that the high-end Steiners I looked at (around $1000???) are as good as the high end Fuji's (around $700-800 iirc). The high end specs are also awesome for laying on the deck at night and star/moon gazing.
Anyways, there is all my thoughts and experience.
- Brian
The IS binoculars have about a 4 mm exit pupil, which is considerably smaller than the 7 mm exit pupil on the 7x50s and will limit your low-light capability significantly. At night, it will be much harder to see clearly through the IS binoculars, regardless of the IS features or greater magnification.

S.D. is right about stabilized binoculars eating up batteries. For a small price, you can buy two sets of NiMH rechargable batteries and a small charger to keep on the boat so you always have a fresh set of batteries. I loved my 7x50 Fujinon binoculars until I got my 10x42 stabilized binoculars. The stabilized binoculars are my primary binoculars now.
Marine Binoculars
I have had good luck for the '08 season with Celestron Oceana 7x50 WP-IF/RC Binoculars. Price is reasonable, sharp optice, excellent light gathering, wide field of view (important for glasses wearers - or with sunglasses on) and no fogging. Copy this link in your browser.

7x50s are about the best compromise between low-light capability, magnification and size.
No personal experience, but was intrigued by the Leupold RXB-IV Range Finding Binocs with Compass which seem to meet 3.5 outta your 5 requirements. I've read some cruisers who have found rangefinders to be very handy in anchoring situations where they need to bring a line ashore.
Meanwhile, I have the WM Tahiti's and have been fairly pleased with them, that is, until I tried the Captain's Fujinon Polaris 7x50's on a recent sail. Wow.
I tried hyperlinking to the Leupold site page but had some problems, so just search for
"Leupold RXB-IV"

Thanks mate for your feedback,
yes im building it as a weekend drivers car, just wanting the car to drive well, have good power but be comfortable enough and reliable enough that if and when i want to take a country drive i can.
i have a Jaguar front suspension which came with the truck, all i need to do is fit it, i also have the jaguar rear but apparently the guys tell me that they dont think it will handle any serious horsepower so rathe i should opt for a ford 9" rear, but they ae very difficult to find here in South Africa.
been looking at a a few options of importing a four link rear from the states as well as a few other items i am going to need from the states.
i have both the 48 front and the 54 front and i think im going to build the truck with the 54 front as i like the style of it, just need to import a new grill as the one i have is fine for paint but dont think i can get it cleaned up right fo chrome.
so many options...............
i would appreciate any idvise i can et from you as you have done what im about to, and im sure have learned so much along the way.
if you have any tips and pick of your truck, would love to see them.
take care
Just some options...
Is this a "hot rod" or a daily driver? Power performance or just a cool running pickup. Pick the best engine and don't overlook the "excentric' extras like the decision to modify the front clip....I installed a Jaguar front clip into my 57 GMC for about $600....but it took some time and it was fun to build. Rides like a dream.....327 V8, 700R4, Ford 8.8 RE, PS, PB and A/C. Bucket seats from a Honda which are very confortable and a floor shift in the consol...just a daily driver.
This is your truck...make it yours! You can do either item mentioned as long as "you" are glad with the decision. Just for the fun of it, decide on your options...leave all options available until you decide what you are going to do. Then have a great time building your truck just for you!

1948 Chevy Pickup
Hi there guys, Building my first classic hot rod.
the car i bought is a 1948 chevy Pickup, the people i bought it from have been working on it for the past two years.
i need some advise, the entire chassis, motor, suspension and braking system has been fully restored and rebuilt. it has the origional straight six motor.
i am wanting to rod the truck and want to put independant A arm front and a four link rear as well as a 427 Ls motor.
it just seems a sin to ruin an origional chassis and motor like that that is 100% complete. would there be an option on selling this chassis with full drive train and motor, suspension, wheels ect.
i was just thinking im sure there are guys out there who would like to build an origional truck and would like these parts?
or should i just modify the chassis that i have and fit the suspension that i want to put in to this chassis?
would appreciate any information i could get.
