Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Last Saturday was a brisk wind, practice raising/lowering your main in more benign conditions using your autopilot...will give you time
to deal with a snag until you set up your lazy jacks like you want.
Suggest don't force sails up/down/in/out with winch.
If Port Wash. is convenient for you and looking for a less expensive yard that you can do own work, talk to Gulfway think @42 ft(but they want to paint bottom).
I will be taking my boat tomorrow from my mooring to one of their slips where I'll sail out of for another 6 weeks or so.
You have a great cover and will be able to do a lot of work over the
winter with it on. I have a similar cover and in the dead of winter if
there is some sun out it is comfortable to work. Sometimes with
propane heater(vented) sometimes not.
I made a frame out of PVC piping years ago and is real cheap and
easy to install, should be pictures on sailnet or cruisersforum or
PM me if interested.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for suggestions. I will investigate tomorrow to see if the lazy jacks can be pulled in towards the mast. I did find a line that eased them but it's not really that helpful. As you guys have pointed out, it would be better to be able to pull them in out of the way.
The sail slugs are metal and not plastic. I think I'll just need to head up better and deploy the autopilot next time. Maybe some more McLube will do it.
Caleb, at the moment she's on a mooring in Port Washington Harbor. I got a deal on it for a 1 month stay until end of Oct.
I got to haul soon and also learn how to winterize. This weekend I'm going to turn all fawcets on and drain the fresh water tanks ready for anti freeze. Also I'm going to get the holding tank pumped.
What are the thoughts about leaving her uncovered during the winter season?
I do have a fairclough cover but not frame (long story) they quoted me $1100 for a new frame. Cannot use shrinkwrap and she is awlgripped and shrinkwrap against awlgrip is a no no.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
You can make the EZ jack system yourself if your are so inclined, It is the best design I have seen for getting them out of the way and not having to modify your sail cover. Additionally you can rig them so that you can deploy them from the cockpit. This is a great help when you singlehand as you dont have to go up on the foredeck until you get back to the dock or anchorage.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Sabre sailboats are pretty highly regarded so you've got a good one there.
As Dave suggested, you need to be able to "hide" or stow the lazy jacks when raising the main sail. See if you can find the control lines for your Lazy Jacks - you should be able to loosen them. If not, consider replacing the Lazy Jack sail control lines with bungee cord line. This way the Lazy Jacks can be stretched up to the mast and fixed there so they are out of the way of the sail when raising.
If your main sail has those plastic sail slides to hold them in the slot I can tell you that they do wear down and will pop out of the sail track at the most inconvenient times. You can get new sail slides from Sailrite (and other places) which may require a little sewing to attach them to your sail. If you don't have one I'll recommend the Speedy Stitcher kit: Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl Kit - Online Video Instructions for the Sewing Awl
Sail slide (3/4"): Slide Nylon Internal Flat 3/4"
It is quite important to get the exact size to fit your mast track.
Getting from NY to Port Washington is an easy train ride. Less easy by car.
Which marina are you keeping your boat in now? Most of the marinas there are about 1 mile away from the train station.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Sabres are nice boats.
Invest in EZ Jacks, they can be deployed from the cockpit, and when you get anchored or moored you pull them abck to the mast and inder the sail (or cover) so they are not in your way when you raise you main the next time you are out or need to. Also make sure you are heading up into the wind directly when raising the main.
If you are buy yourself and dont have an autopilot set the pedestal wheel brake and put the sail up in a p;rotected non windy area if possible.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Oh and another thing that I love, when I get my sails all trimmed up, she just sails along on the same tack for ages. I could sit back and enjoy the ride. It takes a long while before she heads up or falls off. I love it.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
By the way, I took her out this past Saturday on my own. Most of my friends live in Manhattan and don't get the concept of how much fun this is... don't want to take the trek out to Port Washington on a weekend.
I loved it, even if I was on my own and doing less than 3 knots, I just kept looking at the other guys points of sail and trying to mimic it and trim accordingly :-)
My problems, getting the bloody main up, the battens keep catching on the lazy jacks, and also one of the slugs decided to drop out of the mast channel.
I head up as best I can but it's a bitch to get the main up on your own, it needs to be guided by hand so the battens don't snag on the lazy jack lines. Plus it's a bitch to get it up. I did spray the mast channel with that lubricant (the $30 buck harken stuff..) but still. Maybe I should use a winch handle but I'm scared of ripping something...
One thing that I learned is that the main should go up first. So many people told me to use the roller furler, it's wrong. I can't tack with just the head sail. I've learned from here, main first and last.
Anyway it was great with just the main and I got 5 knots (on the GPS) at times, I used the traveler and the main sheet to control over power.
Eventually I rolled out the genoa but I could not get a handle on it, seems like I can't work out how far aft or forward I should move the genoa block.
Also, I need gloves, my hands where torn up.
The Sabre seems so forgiving of me making rookie mistakes. Self tailing is king here.
I wish I could get better sail trim with the genny and main up, I think the genny is 120.
Also the main slug at the end is not slotted into the boom, I can't seem to get the outhaul to work..
I only did the basic keel course out of liberty landing with offshore sailing (highly recommend them by the way, it was excellent) but decided the money they wanted for the next level courses would be best invested in buying a boat and.... making all these mistakes..
Buy a boat, go sailing, you will learn quickly
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the help!
I did speak with George at MBSY and he told me about not being able to paint at the yard but was open to me working on my boat (and lord knows there's a lot of work to do
Plumbean, funny about the purchase price just being a license to spend more money!
Caleb, thanks again for your help. I will check out the Hempstead Harbor Club. I'm also going to call around City Island places.

Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
We keep our boat at Port Sindey BC and for a 34 foot slip is 540.00 per month ouch. But we love to sail and the marina is very nice.
Re: Winter Storage - City Island or Port Washington?
Caleb is correct. You need to do some digging to make sure you know what the all in cost is for the haul out. Some places charge separately for a lot things, and others lump it all together. When I'm shopping I usually create a spreadsheet to try and get to an apples to apples comparison.
George is a good guy. I kept my boat at MBSY last winter and just sent in my contract for this winter. It is a little more expensive than what I paid at Glen Cove Marina, but after the Evil Empire (er, I mean Brewers) took that place over their prices went up such that I'd rather keep the old girl at MBSY, which is 10 minutes from my house.
FYI, you can't do your own bottom paint at MBSY (or most places for that matter), so that is extra.
Oh yeah, and that purchase price you paid was really just a license fee that permits you to spend money and time on the boat ...

You mentioned Vista Mail in one of your tips the other day, but you didn't go into too much detail about it. Is it different than XP's mail? If so, how? Please explain!
It's a little funny that you ask this, because our other mentioning of Vista Mail was in reference to a security issue that may be on the rise with the new operating system's mail client. Well, I want to clear things up once and for all today, because Vista Mail really isn't all that bad. And if you're just new to Vista, you'll definitely want to check it out!
In the last few minutes, I have been racking my brain, trying to think of the best way to present this new e-mail program to you all. The most useful thing I came up with is to just show you how to set up your Vista Mail account to get it going so you can actually start to use it for all your e-mail needs. I have a feeling that some of you have probably been looking around on your new Vista computer for Outlook Express. Well, you're not going to find that, but do look for something called Windows Mail. That is what Vista calls its new e-mail program.
To get there, go to Start and click on Windows Mail. Now, if you have not set up your account yet, you will see a wizard pop up that will take you through all the steps. Here they are in a nutshell.
1.) Type in your name (or at least the name you want all of your receivers to see when you send them mail). Click Next when you've decided.
2.) Enter in your e-mail address. This can be the same one you've used for years or if you'd like to create a new one (in Yahoo!, Hotmail, etc.), you can do so. Click Next again when you're done.
3.) The next step asks you for your Incoming and Outgoing names. This is actually information that you will need to get from your ISP. If you used Outlook Express on your other computer, you can use the same information, but if you don't remember it, contact your ISP to get it. That's the only way you'll get past this part of the setup. Click Next when you're finished.
4.) Next, you'll need to choose a username and password for your e-mail account. At this stage, you can click the "Remember" checkbox, so you won't have to type it in each time you open your Windows Mail. Then click Next.
5.) If you're all set, you can click the Finish button and your account will automatically be set up.
Yep, it's as easy as that! A little less confusing than setting up an Outlook Express account, but it still asks for all the important information needed. So, once you have your account all ready, you can start to look through it and figure out how to use it. But, don't worry too much, because it's very similar to OE, version 6. So, if you used that before, you should be just fine.
The first thing I noticed with Windows Mail was that the views were pretty much the same. There's the box on the top and the box on the bottom. The top shows your received e-mails in a list and the bottom shows the actual e-mail content. I also noticed that the folders on the left hand side were exactly the same, including Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail. The menus along the top were fairly similar as well. I'm sure you'll see that they are no longer icon type buttons, but a bit of a smaller version. You'll see Create Mail, Reply, Reply All, Forward and Send/Receive. All of those work just like OE.
A couple things that were different are the Print and Delete buttons. In Windows Mail, the print button is an actual icon of a printer and the delete button is just a big red X. You just have to click on those to print or delete your e-mails. I guess they weren't good enough to get their own buttons this time around. : ) After those, there is a series of new icons. If you hover your mouse over them, you'll see that one is Contacts, the second is Windows Calendar and the third is Find.
With Contacts, you can click on that to add people to your address book. It's a very convenient way of accessing the e-mail addresses and names you need. Just a quick click and there they are. The Windows Calendar is another very cool feature. Click on that button and a calendar will pop up for you. You can go from month to month, making notes of your appointments, etc. It's very easy to use and great for keeping track of your daily activities. The Find button is where you can either search for a particular message, a certain person or for text in a certain message. That way, if you lose an e-mail, you can search by any of these items to retrieve it much faster.
There is also a Search box at the top of the window and you can use that to search for e-mail messages as well. Just type in a few keywords that you know were used in the e-mail you're looking for and it should come right up in the window for you. It's as easy as pie!
Everything else with Windows Mail is pretty much the same as what you're probably used to. The menus along the very top are the same, including File, Edit, View, etc. You can still access your preferences through the Tools, Options menu as well. All of those tabs are the same too, so you can set up your account just the way you want it. Windows Mail does have some new stationery options to choose from. You can get those by going under the Message menu. My favorite is the green bubbles choice. It gives the e-mails I send out some real jazz!
So, as you can see, everything is still pretty much the same as Outlook Express 6, but be sure to browse through Windows Mail and familiarize yourself with everything. I'm sure a lot of you will get the hang of things right away, but at least you now have a small guide to go by for now. And you know, there's always the Help menu if you need extra help. Now, go on and enjoy your new Vista e-mail program. Yes, yes, yes!

Really neat car.
I would still prefer 2700 lbs and 550 hp though. 3800 lbs is crazy, regardless of hp.
If that is the future of sports cars, as they imply the tech will trickle down to all models, then I think enthusiasts have nothing to worry about.
A friend of mine saw this on a freeway in AZ

Still the king of modern Porsches for me:
Fast becoming a dream car.
For the record though, the ZR1 is only 4 seconds off the 918 at the 'Ring, and the Zonda R does it 27 seconds faster than the 918 (and yes I know it's not street legal, but you said "any I could name" )
The Viper ACR ran the Ring 2 seconds faster than the 918.

I am very impressed with the concept and execution, and it is absolutely one of the most beautiful cars of recent designs. However, I am confused as to why someone who wouldn't daily drive this car would have any interest in driving in the fuel-saving mode, or even having that weight-burdening option. Hypercars are meant to push the limits of what a street car is capable of right before breaking into race car territory.
Still, with a car that looks that good I'd take it no matter what.
Ill take mine in black and red thank you
Great video, really cool car. Can't say I disagree with the comment on it's weight. 3,800 lbs. is pretty hefty. One has to wonder what it would be like without all the hybrid equipment.
The new McLaren and Ferrari F70 seem much more interesting and will likely be 500 to 600 pounds lighter if not more.
"Of course that's just my opinion; I could be wrong."

That's why I didn't mention Dodge.The Viper ACR ran the Ring 2 seconds faster than the 918.
But, hey, its still a year until the 918 goes into production and they're still at the ring every day working on it, so they have a good chance of finding those 2 seconds somewhere.
And I can think of one really good reason for improved fuel economy -- don't have to go to the gas station anywhere near as often. Plus, hey.... any woman will tell you that being able to go longer is just as important as being able to go stronger.
Also, the electric motors are basically doing what turbos would do in another car -- make it faster. But unlike turbos, you get a much flatter torque curve. The 918 Spyder is a NA car, too, which you'd think would appeal to people who don't like turbos....
Also, I am surprised that Lexus didn't pioneer supercar hybrid tech for the LF-A.
flickr | Listen to No Agenda!
25 kilometers, or 16 miles which means for a good start of any medium commute and possibly all of a short commute like my own drive to work and back you could do it without ever using gas at all. That's something turbos cannot claim.
Gotta love the weight comments. As if everyone here was smarter than Porsche engineers saying the car could've been made a whole lot lighter by leaving all the hybrid gear out. Maybe the high weight was a downside they deliberately accepted to make the car so fuel efficient?
If you can afford a $900k supercar, then no, you probably don't need to worry about fuel economy or congestion charges. But that's not the point of this car. The point of this car is to showcase its manufacturer's best R&D skills. I'm sure for a lot of the owners it's going to be also a statement of environmental awareness.
Don't get me wrong. I think the 918 looks fantastic and should be even more dramatic in the flesh. Maybe the slightly more pedestrian looks of the 918 will make it a better daily driver for the image-conscious millionaire.
I was having a chat with a friend earlier this evening about this car and I express the same sentiment. It isn't about fuel economy, it's proving and showing a point - all out speed isn't THAT challenging, when a mustang can hit 189 mph, cost $55k and come with a warranty, where is the glory in having a 200 mph $845,000 sports car? Doing so in a hybrid car with EV capabilities and absolute top sports car dynamics while still retaining benchmark performance stats - that is impressive. The ever rapidly evolving industry is almost beginning to get ahead of the cultural curve - hybrid racing (KERS systems as a starting point in F1) will become more mainstream, in 20 years time I would love to see it the norm in 'lesser' racing leagues.
And what I love about this car and what this video showed, the visceral aspect isn't lost. When that V8 kicked in, just watching the small video with the sound at moderate level - I was thrilled! It looks like such a rush, like how I would expect a top tier halo sports car to be. So what's not to like? Nit pick about how it's too heavy? Sure, when compared to other sports cars that aren't even in the same category - the weight will come down over time anyways, there needs to be a baseline for advances to come, period. Could it have been 'more pure'? I think that definition needs to adjust with technology and is a presumptuous anyways, or should they have made it air cooled?
I for one embrace our technology overlords.
Eh, throw me in the camp with the guys who'd want it lighter...and sounding better.
I'm saddened because the 918 is the best looking Porsche in years. I saw it, and immediately thought "please God, go to LeMans with this...".
I feel as if they just wasted a "who cares" technological showcase on this body design. I know they've run similar set-ups in some of their racing 911's etc. I don't see how Porsche race teams could possibly run this car affordably. Put this tech in a normal 911 or a Cayenne for all I care. Save that gorgeous body for a true kick-ass, roaring Porsche.
I feel the same way about the Honda CR-Z or whatever it's called. Such a cool little hatchback car, which SHOULD have had a nice little 9K rpm Si motor in it...instead it's given a sub-par electric/hybrid powerplant. Save that nonsense for the Civic (I understand these are "halo" products...but it's still disappointing)
It's quite pretty, but I don't think it looks like a supercar. At least not in pictures and in the video. Looks more like a fancy Cayman.

Nuts-and-bolts information to plan your trip, plus a checklist of essentials to include when you pack and a list of links to local media
Entry Requirements: U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter the UK. No visa required for stays up to six months.
Time: London is 5 hours ahead of U.S. eastern standard time.
Money: Local currency is the pound sterling. For current conversion rates go to OANDA Currency Converter: www.oanda.com/converter/classic
Phone Calls: The prefix for central London numbers is 0207; for outer suburbs, it's 0208. When dialing from a local phone, simply add a 7 or an 8. When dialing from the U.S., dial 44, 20, and the eight digit number.
When to Go: Tourism in London never lulls. The best time to visit is spring or summer, so you can enjoy the parks, the river, and outdoor theatre and music festivals.
Getting There: Most international flights arrive at Heathrow or Gatwick Airports. Express trains to central London (Paddington and Victoria respectively) are pricey but worth it—local train services are often delayed and overcrowded.
Getting Around: London's public transport is pricey, so your best bet is to walk whenever possible. Buses are relatively affordable and a good way of getting your bearings, but if you're in a hurry take the subway or "tube." Pay less per trip by buying an Oyster Card www.oystercard.com.
Black cabs are an expensive treat. Radio taxis (or minicabs) are marginally cheaper, but never pick up a minicab off the street. Hire minicabs by phone or at one of many street offices, noticeable for their flashing orange light.
Driving is on the left side of the road. There is a Congestion Charge for all cars entering central London between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pay online (www.cclondon.com) or call 0845 900 1234, or face a fine.
Tips: Bring travel adaptors—U.K. plugs are a law unto themselves. The standard voltage is 230/240V AC, 50 Hz. Plugs have three prongs.
Security: The specter of terrorism has made flying in and out of London a hassle. Arrive at the airport early, prepare to queue, and don't try to take any liquids over 100ml on board as they will be confiscated. The U.K. Department for Transport (www.dft.gov.uk) only allows one item of hand baggage, including a laptop. The U.K. has an extensive network of surveillance cameras, but this doesn't deter pickpockets and muggers: Watch your purse and avoid nocturnal strolls except in busy areas.
Packing: London has notorious wet weather so take an umbrella, trench coat, and waterproof walking shoes.
The London Pass: This 1-6 day pass offers free admission to 56 top attractions, reduced prices at some restaurants, and queue-jumping privileges. Free public transport is also included in some passes, for a few extra pounds. www.londonpass.com

Arsène Wenger did not expect Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to become an England regular so early in his career.
The 19-year-old has now made seven appearances for Roy Hodgson's side after winning a surprise call-up to the squad for Euro 2012.
Wenger admits his protégé's rapid rise has taken him by surprise, but says it is beneficial to Oxlade-Chamberlain's long-term development to play with England.
"I didn't expect him to be in the national team at the moment. He is ahead of what I have planned," Wenger said.
"Honestly, because I feel he needs to get tactical urgency, for him it is good [to play for England at such a young age].
"It could be bad if he was a bit big-headed, but he is very level-headed, very humble. So I think it's good to experience the tactical level of the other players in England.
"When you come from youth-team football basically to that level, it's like you go from primary school to university. And you have to learn quickly.
"It can be damaging if a guy thinks 'Hey, look who I am', but he is not like that. In his case it's good."
Oxlade-Chamberlain is seen to be in direct competition with Theo Walcott for a starting spot at club and international level, but Wenger does not see this as a problem in the long-term.
"They are a different style. I believe that Walcott is more of a striker-type and Oxlade-Chamberlain is a more midfielder-type," he said.
"You could see Oxlade-Chamberlain developing into a central midfielder but you could never with Walcott. I see Walcott developing through the middle as a striker and Chamberlain maybe as a central midfielder."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Memories of Brockenhurst
Family History Of The Village In The 1930's
My Great Grandfather J.T. Bull was the Local Blacksmith in the Village, my Mother Regina his grandaughter was born there 1929..The Bull Family were also the Publican's of the Railway Inn formerly known. Now the Snakecatcher Inn close to the train gates on the main road to Lymington. John Thomas Bull also ran the Point to Point Shows in the 1930's in the Viliage.. Way before the New Forest Show.
Grammar School
Went to Brock from 1955 to 1960 and had a nickname 'Heap' for obvious reasons - I was rather large. Remember playing for the School Cricket team. Also remember a lot of lovely looking girls... wish I hadn't been so shy.
Sam Collins' Memory Of This Picture
My dad is Sam Collins who lived at Wisteria Cottage on railway crossing. He was born there in 1926 and left to join the army in 1943. He is 84 years old now and lives in Maidenhead, Berks. His memory of this photo is that the shop, with sun blind was a butchers shop. This was owned by Mr Gosling and ...Read full memory
Pub Name
Is anyone able to tell me the name of what I presume is a Pub in the photo (just after the thatched cottage) - I am researching my family history and find all my ancestors come from Brockenhurst and the surrounding areas. I would be grateful if anyone was able to enlighten me about this pub name.

The US-Brazil Sustainability Consortium (USBSC) promotes sustainability by sharing knowledge among universities, university- and community-based research centers and institutes, public agencies, not-for-profit entities, and communities. It implements the SFTA's innovative consortia model that integrates diverse sectors (international experts, sustainably-committed universities, and local experts and community leaders), overlays local and international immersion sustainability experiences, and applies sustainability knowledge in local and international service learning projects. It also implements the SFTA model's parallel academic and project funding streams; and its nested sustainability curriculum. The USBSC uses Ball State's global media network and digital media classroom teleconferencing to provide introductory international experiences, teach sustainability course content to help acculturate students for upcoming international exchanges, and prepare Ball State students and students in partner institutions to participate effectively in USBSC international collaborative local-global partnerships
Its institution partners include Ball State University (BSU) and the University of Texas at Austin (UT) in the United States; and the Federal Center of Technological Education–Parana (CEFET-PR), the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUC-RS). Non-institutional partners include the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems (CMPBS) in the U.S. and the Technology Institute of Parana (Tecpar) in Brazil.
In 2004-2005, the USBSC (in its second year) provided exchange scholarships for four Ball State students exchanging in Brazil (approximately $4000 each). This included landscape architecture students Sara Wendelin (MLA), Thomas Fettig (BLA) and Joshua Smith (BLA), and Natural Resources student Chelsea Cohen. A parallel Brazilian Department of Education program funded CEFET student Rafael Lopez's study in CAP in Spring 2005. In Spring 2006 (third year of FIPSE funding) five Brazilian students are expected to exchange at Ball State and two Ball State students are anticipated to exchange in Brazil.
Students at USBSC institutions who are interested in an international student exchange through the consortium are invited to apply to the program.

Need help: Where to board for a year? Work and travel
Hi, im 20, next august i'll finish my apprentice ship as a web developer. After that, i need to do 2 years of school to go to university for studying physics. Since it is the best to do the school's and study at once and not do a break between any of these "parts", i thought of doing a break right after my apprenticeship. And now comes the part where i need your help.
I thought of visiting a few countries, improve my englis hand maybe a bit french, of course, combined with a loooooot of snowboarding. Mainly, snowboarding. I thought of working a bit and mainly improve my skills in snowboarding freestyle. So i got a lot of questions. The local language should be english or french (i rly rly rly rly prefer english, haha). The mountain must have a good park. I thought of going to a host family, share a flat or rent something. I dont care about nightlife, since i hate clubs and don't like bars very much, at least in switzerland, they suck. Drunk ppl and stupid music isn't fun.
So here my questions in a list so my wall of text doesn't get too big.
The questions are related to the place you recommend.
Do you think, i can work easily as an it freelancer? What's the hourly salary?
How much do i earn in a local shop or something like that?
How much money do i need for life in a month?
Good site for flat share/host ffamily/rent something?
How is life as a vegetarian over there? I heard, vegetabels are expensiver then meant at some places in the usa?
And what about dreads? I don't care about the ppl on the street but when i apply for a room in a flat share/host family etc. I don't have dreads yet, but they are coming.
Ahm, i bet i forgot something. . . hmm.
What's the season dates and ticket prices?
I don't know if i stay at one place for the season or move a bit around.
Just tell me about your work and travel experiences.
I researched a bit about mammoth mountain and some flats are very cheap. Is it possible to get something to life for 3-400$?? (I guess the didnt mean month but night)
Thanks a lot. Oh and, how are the ppl on the mountain? In some vids i saw the ppl just going over the kicker when one just jumped off it...
Thanks a lot

As much as I hate having to ask about helmet sizing I need some expert advice. I am having a hard time trying to figure out which helmet best fits my frame and before I pull the trigger and buy something else that isn't going to work for me, I want to cover my bases as best as possible. I am built like a twig. I am 59 and 145lbs which has provided all sorts of challenges, being that most of the replicas tend to run a bit larger to fit a wider group of customers. Through my research here, it looks like either a GMH or a BM helmet could work, being that they are smaller, however since I havent seen either of these in person, I am not entirely sure. So anyone have have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated
I did picked up an Asok FP CC a while back and to me it looks too big proportion wise. below is a pic of me wearing it with my custom chest, with some unfinished bells. I figure this will give you guys a decent basis for reference.

How to choose a queen to breed from.
November 05, 2008, 07:02:43 AM »
Many beekeepers would like to raise a few queens. Certainly choosing your best queen, based on your own criteria, is best. But how does one go about that?
Most breeders are looking (or should be) at hygienics, in the area that rates how fast bees identify dead or mite infested cells, their speed at cleaning them out, etc.
I think one of the best test for selecting queens is a test along the lines that the Ontario group has use for years now. It involves freezing a circle area of bees and counting the percentage of cells cleaned out in 24 hours.
But how does the beekeeper go about that if you do not have the equipment or freezing agent? What can the average beekeeper do?
You can look at several other items. One of the best items is the bottom board. (This may be difficult for those with full SBB.) Cleaned bottoms are a good sign. Some, will prick an area of cells with a toothpick, and see how fast the dead larvae is removed. Others may use the mite counts as a good indicator. All of these are a good measures.
One of the other things we like to do here, was something we picked up a few years back when we were playing with FGMO. At that time, the protocol (as per Dr. R) called for soaking cotton cords and laying them on top of the bars. We found out there were three type hives. After a few days, we would find....1) This type hive completely ignored the cords. 2) a second group of hives would completely propolize the cords. 3) The third group would shred the cords and drag them through the hives and deposit them out the front entrance.
We no longer use FGMO. But we do test promising hives when looking for breeding stock by tailoring that FGMO experience. We take paper towels and soak them in oil, that has been tainted with a smell trigger such as menthol or thymol, and place them on the top bars of the brood chamber. We then compare the hives (checking on day 3, day 5, and so on) as to how fast and with what conviction they have in ridding the hives of this outside influence. The faster a hive shreds the paper, the better the grade.
This is no doubt different than bees triggering on infested cells with v-mites, and other hygienic behavior. Scientists are isolating different genes that trigger different responses and behavior. One for grooming, one for cleaning out cells, etc. But I think they are all related to hive health and survivability. You want bees to clean out infested cells. And you want good house cleaners that rid themselves of pests such as SHB, etc. And you want good groomers that clean off a good amount of mites prior to them doing damage in cells.
If your going to raise queens, use some criteria for selecting your best. And sometimes that criteria is not about the most bees or honey. How many times have you heard someone mention "I can not believe the hive crashed...it was my best producer and was loaded with bees!"?
Look at traits and behavior in cleaning cells out, grooming mites, and housecleaning. We use a list of items such as brood pattern, spring buildup, running on the comb, gentleness, etc. This gets us down to a few hives, then we test further with such items as soaked paper towels.

BjornBee. Excellent, not meaning to go off topic here, but in your opinion, would this type of behaviour be considered in the realm of hygienic? The bees did not enjoy the grass that I had put in their inner feeder, to help them from being prevented in drowning. Immediately removed. Have a most wonderful day and life, great health wishes to us all. Cindi

That is amazing. As you can only see so much in a photo, I am always looking for every possible angle to what I'm looking at. My first thought was that a few bees got stuck as the syrup dried on the grass and they were just trying to get unstuck. Then I thought "Why would they not propolize the organic matter, as I have seen many times". But then I thought...."Isn't that what we really want and what we're selecting for?"
And I figure if bees will shred cotton cords and drag them from the hive, why would they not consider grass in the same aspect, as something needed to be moved. I just have never seen grass so agressively removed as your pictures dipict. The paper towels are removed due to a trigger scent being added. But for them to recognize that grass needs to be removed while having syrup being fed, bodes very well.
This would certainly be a hive of interest to look at more closely and see if in combination of low mite counts, overwintering without treatments, and other criteria, would be worth propogating.
Very interesting indeed. Thank you.

BjornBee. It was the summer before this one past. My Sister and I were looking into the colony and we watched these busy little girls flying away for some time with the pieces of grasses. In their train of thought that grass was a foreigner, they removed a great deal of grass, and I also helped them out after we watched them for some time. This is a colony that I had babied over the prior winter with a terrarium heater. It blew through that summer, growing and growing and growing. This past year this colony was so aggressive with brood rearing that I had to make a cut down split on two occasions -- they had every intention of swarming. I have two of these progeny colonies. And they are still strong and full of bees, lovely -- going into winter with large clusters. The parent colony turned laying worker. After that cut down split I had made lastly, the summer weather was so bad that the emergent queen very obviously was unmated, and the colony perished. I ended their cycle a few weeks ago, they were shaken out some ways away and left to fend for themselves. It was a sad thing, but I still have the original queen and her daughter heading two colonies (at least I think it is the original queen, hee, hee, but who knows about that one). This is a swarmy couple of hives, but they are so prolific with brood rearing, that is fine with me. I try to practice good swarm prevention measures, but have not quite got there yet with these. They are hygienic, in my eyes. The three day mite count I did recently showed a mite count of 7 daily, that is OK in my eyes. They have since then been treated. One day I am sure I will be chemical free with them, they are working hard to get there, that is clear. They are Carniolan. Have a wonderful awesome day and life. Cindi

This is the first time I've tried using halftones in a design, I'm not sure how I feel about them yet.
For illustrator users how do you make gradients for complex shapes? It seems almost impossible with just using radial and linear gradients.
You can always use a gradient mesh instead of radial or linear gradients.
Also, you should play with the angle of your halftones. I find that a 45 degree angle seems to make them look better.
I typically work in photoshop, and I find that It is easier to make gradients with the tools it provides.

David Relman is a Professor of Medicine and of Microbiology & Immunology at Stanford University, and his research program focuses on the human microbiome – the microbial communities of bacteria, viruses, and other organisms that thrive on and in the human body. He'll be speaking at ASM's conference on Beneficial Microbes in San Diego this October, where he'll talk about our personal microbial ecosystems, how far we've come in research and how far we have to go.
Since Louis Pasteur first deduced that microbes are to blame for infectious disease, doctors and scientists alike have mostly seen infection as warfare between a pathogen and the human body. Dr. Relman sees things a little differently. To him, the complex communities of microbes that line our skin, mouths, intestines, and other orifices (ahem) are also involved in this battle, interacting with pathogens and with our bodies, and these interactions help determine how a fracas plays out.
In this interview, I asked Dr. Relman about our personal ecosystems of microbes, whether we'll ever be able to understand and predict what these communities do, and about the sometimes distressing effects of oral antibiotics on our guts. We also talked about whether being MTV's Rock Doctor back in the 1990's had an impact on his other professional pursuits.

The Rainham Reformed Mennonite congregation began services in 1825. The congregation originated through emigration from Pennsylvania.
The original minister was John Neff. After he died, ministers from other Ontario Reformed Mennonite congregations took turns serving the Rainham congregation.
The meetinghouse was closed in 1967 due to declining membership. It had been affiliated with the Reformed Mennonite Church. The meetinghouse was located on Lot 4 or 5, Concession 2 on south side of Rd. 2-3, 1 km west of Fisherville Rd.

You should work on some of these things. Can never hurt
Mind Games (version 1.0) by M. Shirley Chong
|We've socialized him since we brought him home at 8 weeks. He has been to parades, fairs, the beach, crowded downtown, etc, regularly. We just got home from the woods where we encountered a woman with a Lab, Chihuahua, and medium sized mutt, all off leash, and he did fine. Didn't even acknowledge the woman. Back to the car, berserk upon seeing a guy 50 feet away, then at every car on the short ride home. I've got to find a crate for my Jeep. The one we brought him in on Thanksgiving fits in my wife's car, not mine. I took him to Petsmart a few days ago to weigh him, and he did great. This is what confuses me a bit. To reiterate an earlier point, at my parents, he was fine when my sister and family got there. After awhile he began barking at my nephew. In the meantime the marker training continues, and we'll keep working with him.
Teddy (ten months tomorrow) definitely went through this phase, which did take me by surprise. My othewise laid-back, friendly pup barked frantically at people who approached the car, and even barked at a few folks in places like Petsmart.
She's already coming out of it. Petsmart was very crowded yesterday, and we stayed for a while, yet she behaved beautifully. No barking in the car and none in the parking lot. Let people pet her, when I was purposely avoiding people just a month ago.
She also just finished her first heat (a little on the late side, I think?). Frankly, I think she had a lot of pent-up, hormonal-type craziness for a couple of months.
I absolutely positively know that my pups all grow thru different developmental (fear? ) stages and the more I do EARLY on to prepare them, the easier it is to work thru when they 'suddenly' crop up.
Vital to all of this is the socialization and instant feedback/assistance I get from dog classes. Going once a week forces me to deal with any/all situations weekly and gives me the tools to work thru them for the next session.
What are your classes doing to help with this? If it's only getting worse than I'd look into a different instructor with more experience in different breeds.
SOCIALIZATION with people and the world is so key for our dogs the first year and I'm also not clear on how many thousands (I'm not so much kidding) of people your pup has been exposed to so far. The more new people and new situations many of our puppies can be exposed to...... and that we guide them thru as calm confident leaders (giving and handing out treats) the less scary and more boring the real world will be. So over reacting in a totally inappropriate manner doesn't even come up when a pup is deeply in the 'we are going into town to walk down Main St AGAIN!' mode.
Karlo has never barked reactively in his crate in the vehicle(only when he hears gunshot/whips during training or sees protection)
People can walk their dogs by no problem. But with maturity, he doesn't allow people to put their fingers in his crate, it shows in his eyes and he has nipped or low growled when someone has done so.
Bark collars are fine, I'd get one that stims up til the dog shuts up, then you know the level needed. I wouldn't put one on a dog younger than 8 months though.
I think he is a bit young but, honestly, I have no issues with a bark collar on an adult dog in a car crate. Several of our high drive SAR dogs go ballistic about their crates even though they are fine animals with no agression issues. The bark collar, we have found, actually helps keep the dogs from getting worked up in the vehicle and keeps them mellow all the way around.
Like I said, these are adult dogs. Not sure I wouldn't try other approaches with a puppy. Beau has been in his crate in the truck most Saturday mornings since he was a puppy and he actually puts his face against the side of it for my teammates to scratch because he has very nice associations with people and his truck. So even though he barks at the fence in my backyard, the truck is not something he feels any need to defend.
A lot of time it's barrier frustration for the car thing - it's like they are when they fence fight. And it can be fear based too/combo. That way no one will come near me eek. I had a dog who LOVED to do this - loved to pop up and scare the bejeepers out of people. When I was in the car with him, I could stop it, but not when I wasn't. So I am not sure how much reinforcing he was doing on his own - it seems like it happened more when I was nearby.
I did a lot of reinforcing of what I DID want him to do, after starting with corrections, which he just blew off - and it's not easy to do corrections while driving but easier to toss some treats back. When he got old, I'd let him do it. He loved it.
The crate should help.
For the home stuff, the kid stuff, I would talk to a behaviorist. I like to recommend Suzanne Clothier type trainers, or positive based trainers who might use a clicker - which smart dogs seem to really pick up on. I feel for you on the kid thing, that is too bad, given the research, etc.

I don't run him yet, though he runs a lot on his own, it is fast hiking through very hilly terrain.
Have these behaviors begun recently, or was this a slow buildup?
Do you correct him for this, and if so, how?

One word describes the state of US health plan digital strategists at the end of 2013: exhausted! The October 1, 2013 open enrollment milestone for the public exchanges became not an event but an epic saga. Integration failures, wobbly deadlines, and substandard policies that became the walking dead stymied large numbers of potential plan buyers, who either gave up or stood on the sidelines. But through a lot of persistence, 8 million Americans had managed to enroll in the public exchanges by mid-April 2014.
But with the enrollment process behind them, these tired digital strategists can't rest. It's time to shift attention from getting customers to keeping them. And not surprisingly, what matters to consumers when it comes to picking health plans is whether their doctors are "in-network". But other practical aspects of the health insurance experience also matter, like:

After quoting conservatives on "judicial activism" regarding Schiavo case, NY Times failed to note that judicial rulings did not follow "partisan" lines
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
In several recent articles, The New York Times has quoted sources suggesting that the outcome of the Terri Schiavo case in the federal judiciary would depend on the party affiliation of the judges assigned to the case and quoted conservatives noting that the case exemplifies the threat of an "imperial judiciary" and the stakes in highly partisan battles over President Bush's judicial nominations. But now that three different federal judicial panels, plus the U.S. Supreme Court, have declined Congress' legislative invitation to intervene in the Schiavo case, the Times has has yet to report that, contrary to those touting the Schiavo case as an example of the need for Bush's judicial nominees to be confirmed, there was little correlation between how individual judges voted on the case and the party of the president who appointed them to the bench.
A March 23 Times article raised the possibility that the March 22 ruling of U.S. District Court Judge James Whittemore -- who denied Schiavo's parents' request for a temporary injunction to reinsert Schiavo's feeding tube -- would be overturned by a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. The article identified Whittemore as having been appointed by President Clinton, and quoted University of Florida law professor Lars Noah, who asserted that the ideological makeup of the panel would likely determine the ruling. According to the Times:
Legal scholars said it would be highly unusual for the Atlanta appeals court to order the feeding tube reinserted based on its analysis of Judge Whittemore's ruling. But the Schiavo case has surprised at every turn. Lars Noah, a professor of law at the University of Florida, said much depended on the politics of the judges randomly selected to serve on the panel. The court did not release their identities, saying it would wait until after they ruled.
If the panel includes two or three Republican judges, ''this gets reversed in a heartbeat,'' Professor Noah said.
Another March 23 Times article quoted a number of conservatives using the Terri Schiavo case as another example of the so-called "judicial activism" that has often been cited as a reason for approving Bush's conservative judicial nominees. Referring specifically to the ruling by Whittemore -- who was not identified as a Clinton appointee in this article -- the Times quoted Burke J. Balch of the National Right to Life Committee claiming that "Judge Whittemore has engaged in a gross abuse of judicial power"; and conservative activist Richard Viguerie, who said that "[i]t could be the opening shot in the Supreme Court nomination battle that we expect sooner rather than later."
The article then quoted Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), who linked the Schiavo controversy to the need to appoint "good judges":
And Dr. Frist, after discussing Congressional intervention in Ms. Schiavo's case in a telephone call to Christian conservative activists last week, moved directly to the need for ''good judges'' and his plans to end the ability of Democrats to filibuster.
"One of the first tests we will have is this whole confirmation of judges,'' he said, according to a recording of the talk made by the organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State. But in addition to his commitment to the president's nominees, Dr. Frist also said, ''I am also committed, though, to overcoming the minority's filibuster and restoring this 220 years or more of Senate tradition and history."
On March 23, after the above-mentioned articles went to press, a three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court upheld Whittemore's ruling. In a March 24 article, the Times documented which presidents appointed the three judges, but failed to note that the predictions of the previous day's coverage about the influence of party affiliation on judicial rulings were proven wrong. The judges on the panel were Edward Carnes, appointed by former President George H.W. Bush; and Frank Hull and Charles Wilson, both appointed by Clinton. By a 2-1 decision, the panel upheld Judge Whittemore's ruling, with Bush nominee Carnes as part of the majority and Clinton nominee Wilson dissenting.
The March 24 Times article also documented that the entire 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of 12 judges, had later upheld the panel's decision, with only two judges dissenting. However, the Times did not note, as a March 24 Los Angeles Times article did, that six of the 10 judges voting to deny the parents' petition were appointed by Republicans, and one of the two dissenters -- Wilson -- was appointed by a Democrat. As such, The New York Times has yet to note that, rather than bolstering conservatives' calls for confirmation of Bush's judicial nominees, the rulings of the 11th Circuit Court demonstrated an overwhelming bipartisan consensus within the federal judiciary rejecting Congress' attempted intervention in the case. Finally, the Supreme Court, a majority of which is made up of conservatives and Republican appointees, declined again to hear the parents' petition.

Quick Fact: Fox News' Chris Wallace claims climate scientists "fudging the numbers"*
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
On the December 6 edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace claimed that emails stolen from the Climactic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (CRU) showed that "some of the climate scientists were apparently fudging the numbers and tried to suppress opposition comments."
FACT: NASA scientist: Emails show "no manipulation"
Wired's Threat Level blog reported on November 20 that Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said: "There's nothing in the e-mails that shows that global warming is a hoax. ... There's no funding by nefarious groups. There's no politics in any of these things; nobody from the [United Nations] telling people what to do. There's nothing hidden, no manipulation. It's just scientists talking about science, and they're talking relatively openly as people in private e-mails generally are freer with their thoughts than they would be in a public forum. The few quotes that are being pulled out [are out] of context. People are using language used in science and interpreting it in a completely different way." Schmidt is a contributor to the RealClimate blog, which has stated that some of the reportedly stolen CRU emails "involve people" at RealClimate. Moreover, RealClimate.org's staff has refuted the distortion of an email that has been repeatedly cited by critics to claim that the emails undermine global warming science, noting that the terms "trick" and "hide the decline" that appeared in a 1999 email represent an "example" of "instances of cherry-picked and poorly-worded 'gotcha' phrases [being] pulled out of context." RealClimate.org explained that "[s]cientists often use the term 'trick' to refer to a 'a good way to deal with a problem', rather than something that is 'secret', and so there is nothing problematic in this at all," and noted that "hiding the decline" refers to a method that is "completely appropriate."
FACT: The IPCC has thousands of contributors reflecting "differing viewpoints"
The IPCC, which is a scientific body established by the United Nations and World Meteorological Organization, has established that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal." The IPCC "reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide," noting that "review is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment of current information. Differing viewpoints existing within the scientific community are reflected in the IPCC reports."
FACT: Mann email cited specific paper that Climate Research editors and publisher conceded should not have been published.
Critics have cited an email by Penn State scientist Michael Mann as evidence that climate scientists have "suppressed" the views of skeptics. In fact, Mann's email cited a specific paper that the publishing journal's editors and publisher conceded should not have been published. In the March 11, 2003, email, Mann wrote that the paper by astrophysicists Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas "couldn't have cleared a 'legitimate' peer review process anywhere. That leaves only one possibility -- that the peer-review process at Climate Research has been hijacked by a few skeptics on the editorial board." The New York Times reported on August 5, 2003, that the Soon-Baliunas paper "has been heavily criticized by many scientists, including several of the journal editors. The editors said last week that whether or not the conclusions were correct, that analysis was deeply flawed." The Times further noted that the "publisher of the journal, Dr. Otto Kinne, and an editor who recently became editor in chief, Dr. Hans von Storch, both said that in retrospect the paper should not have been published as written" and that von Storch resigned, "saying he disagreed with the peer-review policies."

Discussion in 'October 2012' started by BillLaimbeer, Oct 9, 2012.
I blame Leyland.
Andre really needs to start. Not sure why Frank seems so averse to playing him alongside Monroe. I want to see a better 3-point shooting starting lineup too; teams are just going to clog the lane every time down because Brandon's our only reliable long range shooter. Kim and Khris' long range shooting ability seems to have helped the second unit a lot, and having Andre in the middle to scare off some guards is huge. Excellent game for the young man btw, 19 and 10! I had to stare at it a minute before I believed it; he even made a FT. (yes I know its preseason, but still better than anything Max/CV managed). Also - JJ as starting PF last year didn't work our so well; Frank should know this, has tape on it - why waste time looking at it again? Guy is a 3 I tell you.
I agree, I would like to see andre start as well as middleton at the 3, but we all know Lawrence wont be so bold. We'll get the J Max center starting unit again along with our isotays and the opposing teams just sitting back and swatting our crap.
Drummond was awesome tonight - a bunch of ridiculous put-backs, a nice little up and under as he fell out of bounds... and rebounded well. He's not a guy that can go get his own shot, which is why he isn't playing with Monroe, because then you only have three guys that can shoot on the floor. If Drummond can develop a decent mid-range shot, he'll be unstoppable. If Monroe wasn't there, I'd say start him, but their offensive games are opportunistic and won't complement each other all that well.
Yeah I get your point, but if Greg can hit the midrange J a little more consistently it won't be as much of a problem imo. Greg's issue right now is he's forcing his drives to the hoop too much precisely because he doesn't seem to trust the jumper he's apparently worked on all summer, and he's either bricking bunnies or getting stripped inside. I just want them to try the Monroe/Drummond combo rather than go back to the same old lineups of JJ/Max at PF (and BOT! ugh) at least in preseason if they think Andre's not ready. They have not played 1 minute together iirc.
Able to stay awake a couple more hours today. Bad news though, my family has caught what I got. (I am guessing a 48 hour flu bug, as my symptons came on like a ton Wednesday evening and then started subsiding by Friday night.) Thanks again for the writeups. My impression is we got a bit more size up front now. Still got CG around, something Dumars needs to address sooner, not later. Find a home for Bynum too. And yes, Drummond should be starting along side Monroe. Probably going to have to play whoever is our best outside threat at the 2 to make that happen, and it of course is not Stuckey, who can then be a fine backup point. Williams I am guessing should be playing for us on our second unit for his defense. About all I can think of for the moment, time to go back to bed. Well, ok, maybe one rotation first. Start Knight, (best outside shooting shooting guard), Tay (who can shoot well especially if not overplayed), Monroe, Drummond. 2nd unit: Stuckey, Williams, Daye, JMAX, (The Ukrainian guy some with Monroe or Drummond both playing some with the 2nd unit.)
Yup, I've seen enough. Drummond is a starter on this team purely in terms of expected immediate value.
First of all, it was a blessing watching a Piston game without Prince. To bad the starting lineup played horrible today, the only one who gets a pass is JJ. I like him alot better than Max as the starting 4. When he was replaced by Chaz to start the 3rd the team completely collapsed. GM should never ever play together with Chaz, even Daye could average 20 points against that duo. That would be solved by never playing Chaz. Drummond! I'm drinking the kool-aid. You can see he's raw but he's alot less raw than I expected. It would be a disgrace if he doesn't get 20 MPG from the start of the season. The other fellas in the second unit also looked good. Kens shooting will help that unit and Middleton was a positive surprise. I like T-Broke over Bynum. He's probably the best passer on this team.
Drummond highlights:
That little move at about 3:20 was sweet. Also gotta love the block-and-dunk (which I missed, switching back and forth between the Pistons and Tigers). He is playing much better than I thought he would be. I'm very happy with his showing so far.
I've seen enough. Start Andre together with Greg, and keep him on the floor until he fouls out. Max/Slava as the back-ups.
Drummond looks good in that video, but it is important that everyone else gets a fair chance too.
This rotation is intriguing, but I worry that Monroe and Drummond will tire out playing 4 on 5 with the starters and then running with the 2nd unit also. Maybe they won't have to run that much with all the great shooting going on?
"project" is really not an appropriate term for this guy. He has good touch, good hands, and he has court awareness. We got a steal. Looks like Monroe and Drummond are going to be getting a million tip ins on the offensive glass. Neither of them will have any desire to wander and they both appear to be gifted finishers with the tap ins.
I can't wait for the season to start. The Pistons are going to be nice.
Welcome to the forum, JB. Who is your favorite Piston?

By Chris Harris
Wojciech Szczesny has not given up on the Champions League - but he admits that Arsenal's hopes are hanging by a thread.
The Polish goalkeeper was beaten four times as an impressive AC Milan side took a giant step towards the quarter-finals on a hugely-disappointing night in the San Siro.
Some will feel the second leg at Emirates Stadium is a formality and Szczesny appreciates the size of the task facing Arsenal, but he is not ruling out a famous comeback.
"It's not impossible to come back but it's going to be very difficult," he told Arsenal Player.
"Milan showed how good they are tonight and it's going to be very difficult. We showed last week against Blackburn how good we can be if we are on the front foot and if we manage to score an early goal then anything can happen.
"We have quality attacking players and we can score goals so why not? But we have to realise that it's going to be really, really difficult.
"It was a very difficult night and it's hard to take right now. We have to admit that Milan were the better team and they completely deserved the victory. It's hard to take but hopefully we can pick ourselves up.
"We're full of belief that we can still have a successful season. It's a big blow for us tonight but I'm confident we'll pick ourselves up and do our best in all the games we have coming up."
