Phoenix Rally Falls Short to Hot-Shooting Titans
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
RENO, Nevada (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Playing its third game in as many days, Green Bay (2-2) whittled a 26-point second half deficit down to four late in its World Vision Classic contest against Cal State Fullerton (2-2), but the furious Phoenix rally was not enough in a 93-82 setback.
Junior Alec Brown (Winona, MInn.) led the Phoenix with 20 points and Green Bay again dominated the rebounding battle (41-26), but the slow start and the hot shooting of Kwame Vaughn and the Titans were ultimately too much to overcome. Vaughn finished the contest with a game-high 29 points on 8-of-10 shooting and Cal State Fullerton shot 54.7 percent from the field (29-53) and 50 percent from long range (10-20).
The Phoenix trailed 14-2 just five minutes into the game, and Fullerton made 10 of its first 11 shots to lead 30-8 with 9:50 on the clock. Meanwhile, Green Bay connected on just 1-of-11 three-pointers in the first half and was behind 48-30 at the break. Limited to just eight minutes because of three fouls, leading scorer Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) did not score in the first half.
The deficit ballooned to 26 with 14:59 to play, but the resilient Phoenix refused to surrender. A 21-6 run by Green Bay over the next five-plus minutes included six points by senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) and cut it to 71-59 with 9:10 to play.
It was still a 13-point margin with 5:53 to play, but junior Sultan Muhammad (Grand Rapids, Mich.) scored five points during an 11-4 run that had Green Bay within four (81-77) with 2:56 to play. Down six with 1:10 on the clock, Brown had a look at a three-pointer to make it a one-possession game but found the back iron. The Titans, who went 25-of-29 from the line, made all eight of their free throws in the last minute so ice the game.
Two newcomers joined Brown in double figures as key bright spots for the Phoenix. Muhammad knocked down a trio of three-pointers and finished with 11 points and six rebounds while freshman stat stuffer Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) had 11 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals. The 6-foot-7 Fouse is averaging 6.8 points and eight rebounds per game.
Sykes scored all nine of his points in the second half while Cougill finished the game with eight points, six rebounds and a career-high six assists. Sophomore Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) provided nine points and four boards off the bench.
Green Bay finally gets a day off from competition on Monday, but it stays on the road and is back in action on Tuesday night at Idaho at 9:05 p.m. CT.

Shoot it. If it aint broke dont fix it.
Recently picked up an all steel series 80 blued Commander. I presume it is a Combat Commander but only says Colt's Commander on the slide. Was shopping for an XD 45 compact at the gun show when I encountered this gem on the used table for 600 bucks. XD's will be around for a while but a nice used Colt Commander find is not as common. My rational anyway. I'd bet a pay check given it's condition inside and out it has never been fired. Pretty happy with the unexpected score. Salesman explained that they often get trade in's from collectors and he suspected this was one such example. I'll post picks when I can.
To my question, the feed ramp on the frame is not polished and in fact is the same color/tint as the rest of the frame unlike my full size Colt that has a brightly polished feed ramp. Should I go ahead and put a light polish job on the feed ramp or just take it out and give it a go first? I know this is a common touch many 1911 folks perform. I also know to just polish, not remove material, thus altering the contours of the ramp. Question is should I go ahead and do it as an obvious first step notion or wait and see how it performs at the range first? Thanks in advance.
Shoot it. If it aint broke dont fix it.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
If it's feeding OK then don't fool with it. It sounds liek it was rather unfired or the bluing is new and it has not been fired since that was done. Both outcomes can be found at gun shows. At 600 you got a good priced used so if in fact it is new then you got a real nice deal.I'm a huge fan of the Commander length 1911's and Colt makes a real good one,.
Can't wait to see pics!
Thanks fella's. Pics and range report to follow.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Umphrey's McGee
The quartet won a large following in the South Bend area. As bandmembers graduated, the group began a more and more rigorous rehearsal schedule. Half of the band had degrees in music, so emphasis was placed on constant precision. The bandmembers religiously studied tapes of their performances in order to improve them. While their record sales still hadn't reached high levels, they used live recordings to pave the way for gigs in parts of the country they'd never been to before. (A story circulates of the band selling out shows in Colorado before their first trip there due to the distribution of their live CDs.)
In 1999, the band released a live recording titled Songs for Older Women, which also marked the debut of percussionist Andy Farag. In 2000, the band became a sextet with the addition of guitarist Jake Cinninger, a former member of a fellow South Bend group Ali Babba's Tahini, which had broken up, and they made the move to the bustling metropolis of Chicago. From their new home base, the band went on two-week jaunts throughout the Midwest, occasionally hitting other markets and sharing the stage with a variety of musicians, including Dr. Didg (aka Graham Wiggins), the Chicago-based blues harmonica player Sugar Blue, Béla Fleck, Topaz, and many others.
On New Year's Eve 2000, Umphrey's McGee released their third album, another live disc, titled One Fat Sucka. Their first studio album, Local Band Does O.K., came out in 2002. One year later, they released their first DVD, Live from the Lake Coast, which had been filmed in July 2002. It marked the last appearance on an Umphrey's McGee recording by Mirro, who left to go to medical school and was replaced on New Year's Eve 2002 by Kris Myers, who had a Master's degree in jazz drumming. Local Band Does OKlahoma, their next live album, was also released in 2003.
A second studio album, Anchor Drops, appeared in 2004 on the SCI Fidelity label run by fellow jam band the String Cheese Incident, and a second DVD, Wrapped Around Chicago: New Years at the Riv, was issued in 2005. In 2006, Umphrey's McGee released their third studio album, Safety in Numbers. It was their first to crack Billboard's albums chart. Another studio effort, The Bottom Half, was culled from Safety in Numbers sessions; both it and the critically praised concert album Live at the Murat appeared in 2007. Mantis was released early in 2009, and it charted even higher than Safety in Numbers. The Manny Sanchez- and Kevin Browning-produced Death by Stereo followed in 2011. Three years later, Similar Skin charted a progressive course through '80s rock and metal, becoming their highest-charting album to date. A one-day recording burst at Abbey Road in June 2014 produced The London Session, a mix of new material, road-tested songs never recorded in a studio, new arrangements of previously recorded tunes, and a cover of the Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." It was released in April 2015. Around 2008 the band began a ritual of delivering off the wall mashups -- UM originals paired with famous songs from just about every genre -- during their annual Halloween show. In 2016, they released Zonkey, which presented studio versions of those unwieldy concoctions. ~ Jesse Jarnow

Graduate student Danielle Fischbach taps into the nation's rich culture of storytelling to bring relief to traumatized genocide survivors.
Can the simple act of setting words on paper lift the emotional burden of people who lived through genocide? This is the question that Danielle Fischbach, who is completing a Master's degree in Expressive Therapies at Lesley University, set out to answer in Rwanda. Knowing of the country's strong culture of storytelling, she hoped to infuse this aspect into an expressive writing program that would help genocide survivors reclaim their peace of mind.
Fischbach's project reflects a larger movement in the field of counseling and psychology toward an awareness of the need for culturally relevant programs to help countries like Rwanda. Western ideas about which interventions to use with specific populations are giving way to a dialogue with the citizens and leaders in those countries. Not only are more U.S. students doing fieldwork in developing nations, but also greater numbers of students from those countries are studying in the U.S. and returning home to build clinical practices and to teach others in their communities.
This rich exchange of people and ideas is proving key to healing the wounds inflicted by poverty and violence. "Art and creativity are cross-cultural," says Catherine Koverola, dean of Lesley University's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences. "That's why Expressive Therapies—art, music, dance, and creative writing—translate well to other cultures."
Political unrest, violence, and conflict take their toll on individuals as well as on societies. In the case of Rwanda, the atrocities committed during the 1994 genocide left physical and psychological scars and contributed to stress-related health problems. The situation is compounded by an absence of mental health care providers and by the stigma attached to individuals who seek such care.
While the government has made great strides in reunifying Rwanda and rebuilding the economy, the emotional fallout persists. "People go on with their lives, but the genocide is never far from their thoughts," says Fischbach. She notes that perpetrators of the genocide, when released after their prison terms, frequently return home to the same village where they committed their crimes, to live alongside relatives of the slain. "There are constant reminders of what happened."
Fischbach first traveled to Rwanda as part of a pilot program in the summer of 2012. She formed a close relationship with a group of nuns at the Benebikira Convent in the town of Save. While these women had courageously moved beyond the ordeal, their deep sadness remained, Fischbach says. She wanted to test whether expressive writing could be used to help other genocide survivors "create a coherent narrative and structure out of the chaos they had experienced." She returned earlier this summer to complete her thesis research.
Fischbach explains that previous efforts by international organizations to aid Rwanda in the aftermath of the genocide were sometimes viewed as misguided and culturally insensitive. However, the expressive arts—particularly music, art, film, and theater—have subsequently been used across Rwanda to help people cope with trauma. These artistic endeavors are closer to traditional approaches to healing and have been received positively.
Given this receptivity to the expressive arts, Fischbach wondered if Rwanda's strong oral tradition, which includes everything from poetry and folk stories to morality tales and historic accounts, might be fertile ground for an expressive writing intervention. Since the genocide, a new literary genre has emerged involving eyewitness accounts, essays, and fiction, so it seemed plausible that her project, which acknowledges the oral tradition and capitalizes on interest in this new literature, could improve participants' lives.
Fischbach says her experience in Rwanda has helped her refine her approach as a clinician and increase her appreciation of the strength of the Rwandan people. "Working here has helped me develop a level of understanding and compassion that allows me to truly understand and hear what people are saying—and what they are not saying," she says.
The cultural insights that students like Fischbach gain from fieldwork reinforce the vital importance of these programs. Lesley University is building partnerships with governments in developing countries that would increase the number of overseas Expressive Therapies internships for U.S. students and could pave the way for more students from abroad to train at Lesley. A partnership with Guyana's Ministry of Education has provided the opportunity, funded by UNICEF, for 13 Guyanese child welfare and social workers to pursue master's degrees in Trauma Sensitive Assessment, Intervention, and Counseling through Lesley University.
Rwanda will see the next round of Lesley students embark on internships at the Benebikira Convent school starting in December, with additional students arriving in June, 2014. Dean Koverola, who recently made her first site visit to Rwanda and also met with Fischbach, was deeply affected by the kindness and resilience of the Rwandan people. The trip also strengthened her resolve to create similar opportunities for other students. "I'm committed to sending as many of our students abroad as we can, because there's no substitute for being there," she says.
Fischbach agrees. "It is such an honor to be welcomed by the sisters and to hear their stories. By traveling here, I found a completely unexpected direction for my thesis that was inspired by these remarkable women."

Xbox 360 & Controller
Have you heard of the fashion trend dubbed "Normcore"? It's an inverted-hipster fashion in which "lame" clothing like L.L. Bean fleece and mock turtlenecks are made cool by dint of their uncoolness. Buying an XBox 360 at this point is the technological equivalent of Normcore.

text: I have never sent a gun off to be refinished by a pro so I have no advice there. However I have put on DuraCoat finishes on a few guns and have found it to be very durable. You can buy the kit with everything you need for about $50. This includes the cleanser, airbrush, air supply, finish, hardener and reducer. There are several different colors to choose from and it is really easy to do. I did a DuraCoat finish to my Sigma last year and it has held up great. I don't carry the Sigma but I use it as my project gun and often sit with it at night while watching TV and push it in and out of a holster to test the finish. I even dropped it the other night and it did not even mark the finish. So far I am very happy with it. Here is a couple of pics of the two guns I have with the DuraCoat finish, the Sigma and my Polish p64. As you can see down on the front of the slide of the p64 there is a spot where the finish chipped off. This is where I did not get the slide prepped good, so as you can see prep is very important.

Re: Compression post issue
There have been quite a few discussions about this issue over the years and searching back in various fora might help. The original design by Bob Perry had a keel-stepped mast so the fault lies with Islander for changing the design during production to create a more open interior to sell boats. I'm inclined to think that most Islander 28s will have this problem which on my boat occurred not only on the cabin sole but also where the metal post sat on the horizontal countertop. The problem is plywood under compression loading perpendicular instead of parallel to the grain. Although the early Islanders were constructed with extremely high quality Bruynzeel plywood, the production Islander simply asked too much of the materials. I jacked mine up with the mast in place and found the process nerve-wracking (expect creaks and groans) but possible. I had to make up about an inch so I replaced the plywood in both locations with stacked 1/4" aluminum plates, one spanning the two cross beams in the bilge and the other a disk between the steel and wooden post at countertop height. I was rightfully reminded to insert a dielectric material between the dissimilar metals on another forum. If I had it to do over again, I would: 1) take the mast down first and, 2) strongly consider giving up the off-center kludge of posts and do what Bob Perry seems to have envisioned. Give up the space and squeeze by a single post centered on the keel. However, this requires advanced boatwright skills and slim and agile sailing companions and for those of us more interested in sailing rather than fixing boats there is always the option of simply ignoring the problem because I don't view it as a critical safety item for the casual sailor. Then again, I am risk-tolerant and I firmly believe that the next meteorite to strike the planet will not hit me. Others may disagree....

Re: Compression post issue
Switch to an all metal pole, and stainless floor. Wood ( dead vegitation ) has no place in the bilge of a fibreglass boat.
Re: Compression post issue
Yup- I put 3/4 PVC in the bottom and another one higher for wires etc. The concrete was less than 1 square foot and solved the problem. Plus I think the boat was faster after, but maybe it was just my imagination.
Re: Compression post issue
Damned clever, that! It's heavy but low in the boat so it doesn't affect stability. In addition to being rot proof it forms to fit the bottom and spreads the load, too. Did you put in a tube or anything while it was wet so bilge water can move? The only caution I can think of is to make sure it is absolutely dry when the weather freezes.
Re: Compression post issue
I know this is an old post, but here is my story, and the solution I used. When I bought my I-28 I looked it over pretty close and the major flaw I saw was under the sole where the compression post sat. The floor was OK but under it in the bilge was a mess of rotted out plywood.
I was fairly new to boating and everything I had read advised to get a survey before buying. So I called one of the more respected surveyors in the area to look at my prospestive purchase. He came out and looked the boat over (it was in a cradle on land) and about 20 minutes he came out and only noted a few flaws-hose not double clamped -possible blister-crack in the keel joint, BUT NOTHING about the rotted out mast step!! Before he got off the boat I asked him if he had noticed any problems in the bilge, so he went back inside to look. And lo and behold he SAW the problem! He had never lifted the floor boards to inspect the bilge on his initial inspection. Well my confidence in him and other suveyors certainly went down alot.
About 2 weeks later he sent me an adder to his bill ( which I didn't pay) and an elaborate drawing of framing, epoxy and fiberglass to fix the problem. I think if I had a boatyard do this repair it would have been several thousand dollars.
Well. I didn't have that kind of money, so I remembered the KISS principle. Whats been around for thousands of years. doesn't rot, is easy to work with. and is cheap?? CONCRETE!
I bought a sack of concrete, formed it up with some scrap plywood, and 15 years later it still looked like the day I put it in, and the mast had not moved one iota!!
My first boat was an I28
a fine boat but it had the same problem. It can be fixed permanently but it takes a little work and a few bucks.
I didn't do the work myself, but this is what was done (wish I had taken pictures):
The mast was removed to take all weight off the compression posts. The posts were removed (unfortunately had to remove some of the head bulkhead). Foam filler was epoxied into the bilge between the two stringers fore and aft of where the compression posts were, and glassed over. A section of mast (from a broken mast off another boat) was measured and aluminum plates welded to each end of the new "mast compression post." Wiring for VHF and mast lights were installed inside. Finally, the new compression post was bolted into the glassed section between the stringers. A mast plate was placed on the top of the deck, through-bolted and sealed. Then the original mast was replaced, rig tuned, and everything worked perfectly. I never had any more problems.
Some of you handier types could probably do the work and save some money. Good luck.
Compression post issue Islander 28
I totally agree with Stillraining. Forget shims, cut out the failed plywood and replace with new wood. I used a short maple plank from an offcuts bin at Rocklers, about $5. On my 1978 I28 I found no rot in the plywood under the compression post but it had distorted badly. Maybe the plywood got wet a few times, maybe the wood wasn't strong enough to begin with and maybe the fact that the foot of the compression post does not sit wholly on the bearer beam contributed. Two cautionary notes: (a) don't jack up the mast too much or you could break the fibreglass tabs holding the bulkhead to the hull and (b) if you're replacing, not shimming, make sure you have some very very solid temporary mast supports - you don't want them giving way! Do not rely on one upright timber balanced on a bottlejack, that would be asking for trouble. I used 6"x2" timbers from Home Depot.
Thanks for your reply. We are getting all the bad wood out and replacing with new. As far as I can see.... it might be better than when it was new. Seemed to be a small design flaw or manufacter overlook. The plywood ribs dipped into the bildge and the bottom end grain was exposed to bilge water and allowed water to seep into the wood.
Again, thanks for you insights!
Its always wise to remove any and all compromised wood when doing any repair if you can...sometimes it isn't critical if it is not structural ( usually if plywood is in a fiberglass boat it is for structural/stiffening reasons) and other means then can be used as a quick fix temporary fix..but if you take the effort and time to replace it you will feel better about it and so will the future surveyor and buyer.
As far as how big of a job it is ..that's hard to say depending on your boats configuration...the actual repair is usually way easier then the tearing apart and reassembling of everything to get at it.
Buying Islander 28 With Similar Issues
I am close to purchasing a 1978 Islander 28 which I think has some related issues. My surveyor found rotting plywood in the bilge at the lower end of the baffles that becomes structure for the floor and one which the mast compression post bears on. My surveyor thought it wasn't super major b/c there was plenty of solid wood where it was needed, but thought it needs to be fixed. The owner offered to make it right and cut out the rotting portion of the plywood and glass in new. I also noticed where the metal compression post has deflected the wood trim it bears on before tranfering its load to the compression post in the head.
Have any insights or thoughts? How concerned should I be with this? Is this a bigger issue than just replacing rotting plywood? Is it likely that the cabin sole is crushed under the post as well - indicated by the deflection?

Well I think it's about time I start on my FP helmet... Halloween is around the corner.
I have a few questions on how some of you cut the slots in the back and visor area.
I've worked on 2 Sgt. Fangs and they are easy to cut sand etc..etc. due to them being resin but fiberglass with gelcoat is different story.
The reason I ask is when I drilled the holes for the metal ear pieces I had some chipping. Lets just say I don't want to run into any problems cutting fiberglass.
So if anyone who has worked on a FP helmet, any advice would be appreciated, also what tools did you use.
thx in advance.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, Feb 11, 2013.
In one of the article I read for this type of charge the maximum fine is 5 million rubles.
But the punishment is the punishment whether Plushenko takes the money or gives it to charity.
I don't get what you mean. What's the problem? Sorry I am not good at English, you know... You think even if Zhurankov is a liar or unprofessional gossip lover, Plushy should give care to his poor financial conditions???? Zhurankov himself told that he doesn't want to apologize. So it's his choice. I find no fault with Plushy.
I failed to see any thread of logic in this argument. Should there be a law banning people earning more than $$$ from filing law suit?
It is "journalists" like this Zhurankov that are damaging the freedom of speech with his ludicrous comments. He gave journalism a bad name.
Is he going to take the money or not?
Well doesn't he first have to GET the money before we know if he keeps it?
Logic in that argument was: I asked if Plushenko is going to claim any money? Someone answered that Plusenko doesn't need any money but the journalist needs to know the limits. I answered that yes, Plushenko doesn't probably really need the money, but is he still going to claim it? Because that's what I originally wanted to know. Or does the court decide the amount or has Plushenko asked a some sort of amount? Nobody seems to know. The amount would put things into perspective. If it's a couple of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Indeed he is!
I know nothing about Plushenko's motivations nor the true extent of his injuries, but if I had a serious and painful back injury I'd be pretty angry at the journalist and probably would consider suing too. I've read some comments out there about Plushenko's attitude towards journalists, it may not be the best but that doesn't justify them being bad at their jobs, does it?
The answer for you is "Yes, Plushy is going to sue Zhurankov even if he doesn't need money."
He is very rich and even if he will not able to work anymore due to injury or smth, his wife can feed him and baby as long as they are together. Plushy just wants Zhurankov to correct or apologize to him in front of public, but Zhurankov refused to do it for "Freedom of speech".... When you were attacked by such "journalist", what can you do?
Send agent to the culprit!
I do not worry too much about that journalist ... Plushy and Yana, 1-2 year ago, sued one paparazzi site (who claimed that their marriage is false) and the verdict was that this site publish the denial of their lies, and the compensation was approximately 200.000 rubles (around 5.000 €...
So, journalist will surely be punished with less money.
Plushy's interview from yesterday...
"Man and law: Why Plushenko has to fight for his good name?":
... translation: http://evgeni-plushenko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6&start=2150#p77845
Plushy highly recognized athlete in Russia, Europe and Japan. He has several sponsors, not only Russian companies, but some other famous European companies. He wears the Mercedes, and the Swiss Ulysse Nardin logo. He has a few European awards, and Albert, Prince of Monaco had invited him in 2010, after Vancouver. Of course, Plushenko has to fight for his good name!!! The problem is, Zhurankov said his opinion not in yellow press, he was the Russian Eurosport commentator!
From Russian Figure Skating Federation
Admiring the courage of the outstanding figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, and his desire to perform at his fourth Olympics in Sochi in 2014, RFSF in every way promotes his early return to the ice.
We consider speech of TV commentator A. Zhurankov, about state of Plushenko's health incorrect... We are fully on the side of Evgeni, in his desire to protect his honor and dignity.
Always maintaining good relations with the media, RFSF will work only with journalists that do not violate professional ethics.
Zhurankov seems like an ass. One thing that I thought was really vicious and uncalled for was when he kept mocking David Kranjec for not even being able to win the New Zealand Winter Games (he placed second).
Moscow police rejected Plushenko's request against TV commentator Andrei Zhurankov http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20130222/646931220.html … #figureskating
"I still can not comment on it in any way. Now I'm not in Russia, back, will observe, and then we'll decide what to do," - said Plushenko to agency "F-Sport" on the phone.
As the result of linguistic analysis, it was concluded that there were no false claims slandering the honor, dignity or business reputation of the plaintiff.
Does he still have civil recourse? In the US, this type of thing would not result in criminal charges, but Plushenko would still be able to sue Zhurankov for monetary damages.
I don't know what will he do.
T. Akimtseva, Plushy's lawyer, said to sovsport.ru that they provided for the police the requested documents: air tickets, bills, medical records, etc. regarding the operation in Israel.
So that answers the question of "will he take the money?" The answer is "There is no money to take."
I don't think the money was the most important thing in this case.
By this article, Plushy has one more option - to apply his lawsuit to the civil court.
How can that possibly be? He accused Plushy of faking both his injury and his surgery with the impication being that he needed an excuse to get out of Euros because he realised he wasn't good enough to win.
If that's not slander, I don't know what is...
I'm not exactly sure how it works in Russia, but this sounds like the equivalent of "the District Attorney decided not to press charges." It doesn't seem like there were any legal proceedings or hearings to determine findings of fact. Rather, they did not feel there was enough to begin a case. I tend of agree because, while the comments are unprofessional, they don't seem criminal to me, but I'm satisfied that he'll still have the opportunity to sue in civil court (to my American sensibilities, that's where this case should have been brought in the first place).
Very well. I hope Plushy sues the guy's ass off.
I am pretty sure that the police and the courts have more serious cases to attend to.
He doesn't have the money on this way! After the birth of his son Alexander Yana Rudkovskaya at her and happy father - Evgeni Plushenko, hit the shaft of attractive offers from various media. But the joy is famous parents does not bring.
Yana: "Paparazzi opened for me to hunt, hoping to catch the moment when I am walking with a stroller - complained of "Express newspaper" Rudkovskaya. - Plaguing them not, as if all gone mad! Received various proposals. For example, the Japanese are willing to pay $ 50 000 for a photo baby. But we all refused."
I don't know why you quoted me. Your comment has nothing to do with mine.
You seem to think I am saying something I am not. I am saying that these questions about whether or not Plush will take the money from the settlement in the case were premature. All he asked for was criminal charges to be filed. As it turned out, charges weren't even filed. But even if prosecution was decided upon, first there would have to a trial and then the journalist found guilty. Then, if and only if he was found guilty, would there be punishment. And even then there are many choices of punishment and there was no guarantee that the punishment would have been that money would be awarded to Plushy.
So all these people asking "is he going to take the money" look foolish IMO. How can you ask "is he going to take the money" before you even know if there is money to take?
I don't think you understand--the case was thrown out as it was deemed that no slander was involved and no damage to his business reputation had occurred. How is he supposed to prove monetary damages after that?
IMO, the best he can hope for is a retraction and an apology.
That was the criminal case. According to the article lala posted above http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20130222/646934089.html (translation welcome ) he can still sue in the civil court. I would imagine a case like that would end up tied up in the courts for years with no determinations made that quickly.
Yes, but he'd still have to show a grievance. What would that be?
The article says that Zhurankov is happy that the Moscow police had sorted it out but acknowledges that Plushy could still sue in civil court. The rest is pretty much a rehash of what we know.
Stupidity with malice aforethought IS and should be a crime..what this man said implied that Plushenko, Mishin and the whole team 'created' the story about Plushenko's recent back surgery, impuning both Plushenko and the team's reputation, and Plushenko's personal integrity, basically calling him a liar. If it were me, I would sue as well. Reputation is everything in sport. And in life. It's kind of like accusing an athlete of using performance enhancing drugs when in fact he is innocent. Perhaps it turns out NOT to be true, but somehow the stigma and the cloud of suspicion seems to hang around, no matter what the eventual outcome. The reporter is a complete ass, to interject his opinion and state it as fact, when it was, in fact, untrue. Sure, he's explaining himself..he knows how badly he f#$ked this one up! KNOWS he is in the wrong, KNOWS he was lying, and now realizes that this time, he's NOT going to get away with it. If I were Plushenko, I would defend my reputation and my honour. Good for him. Perhaps other journalists will be a bit more careful about the things they 'report'.
I mean, how would YOU like it if this was someone in your family that this guy was talking about? Why would ANYONE fake a back surgery, pay all that money..for WHAT?? It makes no sense, and makes the reporter look like an ass-hat. He has never been a Plushenko fan, but this is stooping to a new low, even for him. I cannot imagine how angry I'd be if I'd just gone through something as traumatic as back surgery with metal rods inserted in my back, trying to walk down the corridor with my wife during therapy, worrying if I would ever be able to skate at my highest level while wanting to so badly, only to hear THIS rubbish. Plushenko has enough on his plate without having to swallow THIS indignity as well. And what Neurosurgeon, his team and his Hospital would risk their repuation and careers on such things as this?? Zhurankov is a blow-hole, and this time, he just may have to pay for it. I don't think Plushenko is doing this for the money. He's doing it for all of the reasons HE stated.
Sorry if my feeling so strongly about this offends anyone. I had a good friend and a high level athlete who had his career destroyed (and thus his life) by 'innocent' comments made about him in the press. This is somehow strangely personal, although I do not even know the Plushenkos...
Seriously, IceAlisa, I think that is all Plushenko really wants-for the guy to admit wrong-doing and apologize. And I don't know how much Russian courts are like those in the USA, but after OJ Simpson was aquitted of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, Goldman's family sued OJ for wrongful death in civil court, and WON that case!! So, sometimes the Civil court doesn't play by the same rules as the Criminal one...I say we let them sit it out in front of our very own JudgeJudy!!

Having just bought one and realizing how heavy it is, how many of you guys troop with the Master Replicas EE-3?
opened the box and picked it up and first thought was "no freakin way".
I'm using my MR, but I can't imagine going for hours with that thing. It must weight 15-25 lbs. If you are doing serious trooping for long periods of time, you probably want to invest in one of the foam replicas.
Have none of you guys been in the military?!! Running around with a heavy weapon all day should be a breeze. :thumbsup:thumbsup:cheers
Does this count? Because a sling really helps :)
In addition to the weight it is pretty awkward to hold and it is not balanced in any way. Also, try it with the gauntlets on :confused.
If I had to troop an MR again I would crew and leave it at home:thumbsup
Just my 2 cents.
Did 20 carrying a M-16, the MR is heavier and unbalanced, gauntlets don't let you cradle the weapon so its all bicep and wrist, great for isometric exercises but not for hours at a time.
Yeah I couldn't believe the weight. I thought the Stormtrooper blaster was heavy but this has got it beat hands down.
I used it tonight for about 20 minutes. One lap, no house stopping, around the block and I had to put it away. It's retardedly unbalanced and wonky feeling, plus heavy as all hell, so my first new investment will be a foam one o' them jammies as soon as I see one pop up in the Cargo Hold or a run gets going.
I did a three hour troop with it...never again. I have a foam one that I use all the time now.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Aug 19, 2013.
I see Sheed sitting in the row behind the bench lately. What is up with that?
Seems like that is where he has been sitting since game one....
Thats where all the assistant assistant coaches sit
Yeah, he's been sitting there all season. Believe you me I have been keeping an eye on my man Sheed. He takes notes all game, seem's like whenever Andre, Greg or Josh score he is writing something down. A very good note taker I must say.
Most teams have their top assistants in the front row with the players. Heck, some teams even have their trainer in the front row.
The Pistons sit three assistants and Abdenour on the front bench/chairs with Mo, Sheed, Jerry the Security Guy and two other guys in the back row with players that don't dress.
Aw man, is Cheecks making Sheed file reports? That's some serious coach hazing!
They are keeping him away from the refs.
John Loyer gives Rasheed Wallace a promotion (and courtside seat) - Detroit Bad Boys
Interim coach promotes player development coach? Exciting stuff! Btw, has the name loyer appeared on this forum this year? I'd never heard of the guy. I like how he tells a lot during the games though.
Interim Pistons coach Loyer faces tough task - Yahoo Sports
Well, there you go.
So the guy that looked like Conan O'Brien was Man Tan or whatever his name is?
It's nice to have a loyer on the bench in case we get into legal trouble.
this joke is so lame that one has to like it.
Aren't they usually called judges by then?
So Maz Trakh leaves with Cheeks.....is he Cheeks manservant or was he the one that kept telling him to sit Monroe in crunch time?
I think was the one that told him Will Bynum was too short to play in the NBA.

Meet Damien O'Doherty in his very old daily drive
November 07, 2013 , 9:04 AM by Dominic Brine
Ballarat's Festival of Motoring is well underway at the Mining Exchange and Dom met Damien O'Doherty who was using his 1927 Chevy Ute to drop off stuff for the festival.
Damien says the old ute isn't on heritage plates as he uses it regularly like any other ute, however he's entered his 1929 Austin 7 as this model is regarded as the grandfather to the Austin Mini and a milestone in the story of small cars for the masses.

Drop me an email and I will get you on the list to get a helmet. I do not take money until I am ready to ship you a helmet.
Received and it looks beautiful, Asok - many thanks!
You are very welcome.
PM sent
Interested! PM and email sent
Thank you
PM sent
I received my helmet and it is fantastic! Many thanks to asok for being exceptionally communicative and kind.
I just got my helmet and it is a work of art. Asok is a true professional.
Yeah, Asok is pretty much the man.
I'm paying for my cold cast helmet tomorrow and very excited! I've used the cold casting process on some of my fine arts sculptures when I didn't feel like paying the foundry $600 min for hot cast solid bronze. Looked and felt like the real thing and even added patina.
My question is about painting over it as I've never done so. Not sure if I'm doing a topical or reverse layer paint job. If were to do a topical paint and cover up cold cast aluminium layer completely with paint, does anyone notice if helmet still has that metal feel? I think touching a fett helmet that feels like cold metal is just really neat!
After talking wih asok about it I agree that it's just cool to cast it this way. More like it would be in real life. Either way I'm stoked to grab the awesome FP kit and the cold cast is just a cool bonus.
I've been a star wars collector since the 90s and building projects just as long but I'm finally just around to this one so I'm stoked! It's for ddisplay so I plan to do rf lights. Also, I want to sculpt interior details like people have done based off riddell helmets. Just for personal use and cast in a self skinning foam and paint. Just a fun show off feature since I'm a sculptor anyway. Finally it will live in my ikea case with plaque. Getting ahead of myself though as I have months of tedious work when my kids go down for nap.
Makes me stoked to see how much everyone loves their helmets though!
Out of curiosity, does anyone have a pic of one of these next to the MR bucket that came out? I'm just trying to see the difference in size between these two because I had one of his Jango helmets and that one looked a little smaller when displayed right next to the MR one so I was hoping these were a little closer in size to them.
The Jango is smaller.
I am interested in one of these awesome helmets. Email sent.
Just got my bucket in today. Fast shipping, AMAZING customer service, and the product is flawless!
I picked up the Boba helmet thinking I was going to use it to build my first custom mando. But after looking at the helmet for about an hour I really don't think I can bring myself to fill in the dent. This thing isn't just a helmet it's a work of art.
If you're thinking about getting one of these stop thinking and just hit that paypal button. It's well worth it!
Got my bucket and I just have to say, stunning! Can't wait to get to work on it :D
What are the pros and cons of CC?
Cons: the only con I can think of with these buckets is the lack of damage (other than the dent of course). I mean, it is the FP budget bucket so I definitely understand. Otherwise these buckets are definitely the way to go unless you want to wait for asok to put out his new FP casts.
PM sent! I had to jump on this. Been looking for a good kit to try my hand at painting, this one looks like the way to go. :fettrotj
Pm sent looking for a helmet
You can't go wrong with an Asok CC lid. Great guy to buy from and the lid is top notch.
this may be answered somewhere, but is the RF stalk hollow to allow for running LEDs?
I have a Salamander king ESB remote set up I would want to use.
Asok uses solid aluminum stalks. There are a few people that make light kits that may fit. Hyperdyne labs is one.
Nevermind the Salamander king LEDs are self contained no need for a hollow RF, I missed that on my first read through of his sale thread :P
Thank you again asok, and I'm looking forward to getting a GMH from you sometime in the very near future.
Great comparison shot, Verbal. The correct visor makes all the difference, it looks so much more menacing!

Some of you may recognize the thread title, a title covering a book of Lawrence Hacking through the Dakar Rally.
A Google search will give you plenty of info on what this man has accomplished, but the book expresses it better.
This thread will show a journey for a few people, as I'll be covering the progress of his next entry for the 2010 Dakar - where ever they hold it. This will not be a two or three week build blog, as some of us are used to on here seeing the odd engine swap in a VW. I'm sure the truck will be wrenched on to the last minute before leaving the country. Consider this a test of team work, quality manufacturing, build technique , technical insight, reliability, durability and in the end - perseverance. Lawrence has already competed in the Dakar... on a bike. This private entry of his will fall in the T1 Open class for the rally.
The best thing about it - The truck is equipped with a VW Turbo Diesel.
Here's some pictures on the entry as it sits now. I'll certainly go over all the details of the truck shortly, with more pics of course. It will fill you in on what it is composed of and what regulations the truck follows.
Just a small bit of info of who I am.
I've been doing automotive related fabrication/design/car prep for a decent amount of time, roughly 10yrs... Covering quite a few realms of motorsport recently, and daily driven cars from time to time. People know me mostly for turbo manifold fabrication. If some of you have followed some of my other work you will know I don't leave out details. I like to let people feel involved/informed. If you dip into my sig a little bit, it will give you a taste of the work I do. I hope you all enjoy whats to come.
If anyone sees an opportunity for Lawrence to take on some additional support during this journey, by any means, let me know via IM or contact:
Lawrence Hacking,
Jay Thornton,
Please remember the build may not be updated day to day, but will be a great source for info on whats going on surrounding the truck and its progress.
A few more pics.

Thanks for the pictures! They look great!:glasses: I agree with s5belford, I am ready for summer, or spring! (whichever comes first):lol:
I'm gettin tired of winter myself............snow sucks Bring on spring!
Thanks everyone. We hardley ever get any kind of snow that sticks here. We wound up getting 4" which was pretty cool. It was completely melted and gone within 24 hours. I'm not much of a winter person either. I think spring/fall is my favorites.

Bucephalandras Questions: Emersed vs Submersed, etc.
I am thinking about creating an emersed set up for crypts in the near future, but before that, I really want to get a collection of bucephalandras. I was wondering, I have seen many people grow them emersed along with their crypts, and I know that in nature, they grow in fast moving streams and rivers, above the water line most of the year. However, I have heard that grown submersed, the leaves are more colorful and the plants look healthier, though they may grow slower (not as important to me). I have also heard that they grow better in a fast current. Is this true? Also, I know that most people who grow them emersed grow them in pots, but I have heard that they really require driftwood or rocks to attach to...
I guess that they can be grown all these ways, since people do them, but I just want to know what the best possible way to grow bucephs is. Submersed vs emersed, water flow rate, co2, water parameters, substrate, things like that. One idea I was toying with, was perhaps growing them emersed for awhile and then switching to submersed. I guess the logic was that they would grow faster at first, and then once switched to submerged growth they would get that nice color and those leaves... but now that I think about it, it doesn't really sound like the best idea, oh well, just a thought I had.
Any info would be greatly appreciated, and anybody who has these or has grown them, I would love to hear your experiences and advice. Also, if anybody has any to sell, please pm me, hehe... I am in the US, and planning on buying a bunch soon, but they just keep finding new varieties!
Oh also, if anybody has any good links on emersed growth techniques, that would be fantastic, I am have never grown plants emersed and am really excited to start!

Still believe that adding a 2nd d-lineman that can consistently push the pocket would make him shine, but I am happy with the job he does.
I have always thought anthony was worth resigning. I would bring him back if the price was right.
Absolutely....unless you find a replacement in the draft.
I wouldn't even entertain the thought. We need better opposite Ware and even a replacement for Ware in the pipeline too.
Get someone who can rush the passer. Pretty, pretty tired of Mr. Spencer.
Lol at this comment
Yes, if we can get him a 4 or 5m a year then go for it.
Last week everyone was saying what a difference having Spencer back was. Now people hate him again.
Who do you think the options are that would be better?
Is Spencer that good or are the guys that replaced him simply garbage men? I vote for the latter. We need more consistent pressure and a better pass rusher opposite of Ware.
People act like he's rushing the passer every down. The guy, at least last night, is in coverage a LOT.
I think he's a good player, would love to have him back, but there's no way 9 mil a year is acceptable. I think around 6.5 should be what he gets.
IT depends on the money, also the people saying no are the same people who would love to have Barwin or Woodley, why do you compare them to spencer this year.
Every one wants another Ware, that's not going to happen, Spencer is a very good OLB the is used more like a 4-3 OLB than a 3-4 OLB. I wish they would just switch back to a 4-3 and keep srpencer at OLB and get another DE and use Spencer like Oakland used to use Wimbley or the way Denver uses miller.
Depends on the price!
At a fair salary, then yes.
Also, are we in rebuild mode at the end of season or do we still think we are only a couple of pieces of the puzzle away from contending.
If way off contending, maybe you save the money for the next guy?
Jenkins and Felix are up too, and Dez is next year? Some more tough choices.
Can't afford to keep letting these 1st rounders not develop into your core in their 5th - 7th year - they need to be your dependable veteran leaders/winners.
If they aren't going to be, then I guess you have to let them go.
Who's better Spencer or Greg Ellis back in the day?
Yes, I want him back at the right price... His run defense is very valuable & drafting a DE like Damontre Moore, who can rush the passer would be great
He's average rushing the QB and average against the run. Do you resign a marginally average player? With no one better on the roster they've got no choice
I say he is better than average against the run.He is average pass rusher I think we maybe should Franshise him again.
Sign the guy already. You're not going to find comparable play in the draft or free agency.
Why create a need when you don't have to?
Rushing the passer - Greg Ellis. All-around SOLB play - Anthony Spencer.
None of the "get rid of Spencer" crowd has an answer for that question. It's one of those random drum-beater things that they just say without any rhyme or reason.

I would like to know if anyone could help us with our little problem with the 41.We just had a little match at our club and 4 of us seem to have the same problem with the 41. The casing does not eject out of the chamber it sort of jams in there . We tried all types of ammo.I've personnally changed the extractor and the ejector and the springs.The only thing that helps a little bit is that if we spray a little wd-40 in the chamber before loading.The guns are nice and clean prior to the shoot.It seemed like the s-w model 41 has a problem with the ejecting .We would like any kind of help to solve this problem.Its giving us a lot of allobuys during the match.
If anyone out there has any suggestions .Please Help.
Thank You

What's the intended purpose?Thanks to all who replied.Caticind, I've no idea whether or not it's a good idea, but it's the way the hives are fixed now, so I hope the bees like it. Mainly, I'm just following suggestions that I've read here and on another bee forum; those being to put the entrance high so that the bees can remove heat and moisture faster/easier. The cover over the entrance and the out-of-sight, half-inch tunnel going up to the actual ten-inch-entrance slot should (hopefully) help the bees fight off wasps, moths, other bees, etc. Now watch next spring when I put in a package of bees w/queen and they abscond because of a dumb ass entrance.

get the Shield!
both are good choices but bodygaurd a lil more expensive due to lazer
I carry a Bodyguard....friend has an LCP w/laser............the Bodyguard FEELS a slight bit heavier, even if it isn't.........I prefer the trigger on the Bodyguard..as triggers go, they both aren't the greatest, but the Bodyguard pull doesn't feel a bit gritty like the LCP.......the Bodyguard feels a bit better to me in the hand, and on just looks, I think that the Bodyguard looks a bit better made. For all practical purposes, the laser is a nice toy, but useless for defensive situations, in my opinion. Problem is, .380 ammo is getting very expensive, so there are probably better and cheaper options. They did have some issues with earlier serial # Bodyguards. I have a later version(serial #) and although it's not a firearm that you take to the range alot, I have fired approx. 300 rounds through mine, with no issues, using WWB 95 gr., and with carry, I use REM UHD 102 gr. BJHP. The guy at the range next to me, wasn't real happy with me...the pocket rocket really ejects the empties a distance. Unlike my other firearms, which usually dump them about 3 ft. away, the Bodyguard wings them about 6-7 ft. Doesn't bother me, because I do not save the brass anyway. Having shot both firearms, I prefer the Bodyguard. Would I trust them both to go bang? Yes.
my cz-82 flings cases pretty hard.When I qualified I noticed one of the range officers moved when I hit him.I think he cut a couple points for flinging em at him.
The reason I purchased the Bodyguard to begin with, is that I can comfortably carry in front pocket, with Desantis holster. No one has noticed yet, and it can come out quickly. I have noticed the price coming down gradually on both firearms....as far as the ammo, you still have to practice at least once in a while, so I wait for sales. As far as failure issues, can't say for the LCP, but like I said, they will go bang, as long as you don't treat them like a range shooter. I would say, that they are accurate(with practice) from 15 yds. and under. Not firearms that you want to get into a firefight with.

Nice lookin' gun!
Gots me an HK USPc in 40 cal about a week ago. It's a fun little pistol. Took it to the range and put 200 through it. Grouping was low and left at first but I just had to adjust my grip a little and it was pretty much on spot. I'd say ~ .5-1" left from 20'. A little more practice is necessary.
It was hot in the range so my hand was getting sweaty a little, so I got some Hogue Jr grips (which were a b*tch to put on). They actually ripped in the front but luckily, it was right up the middle and only about 1/4" so it created a symmetrical arch... actually looks like it was designed like that. Not sure if you can tell from the pic.
It'll fit right at home with the others...
Anyway, thanks to those who replied to my two threads:
Looking into getting a 40 compact
What grips will fit on a USPc?
Very good looking pistol you have there. Good luck with it.
I love the looks of those HK's compacts. What's nice about your new pistol is the FACT that it will work each and every time you pull that trigger. That has to be a great feeling. Enjoy


text: Just a random trivia exercise... Here are middle names of the Pistons for this season (includes Chucky and Maceo, but excludes Jonas and Ben Gordon who don't have middle names and excludes Deron Washington, b/c I couldn't find it). Norvell James Bynum Clay Dior Durell Camey Alexander Ray Darren Michael Lavon Demond I didn't know a single one of these, so this is probably pretty hard to do without looking it up. But take a shot at it if you are bored out of your mind.

CIS specialists in these areas will address the latest wave of protests and attacks throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Speakers will also discuss China's leadership transition and tensions between China and Japan over the Senkaku Islands and the Eurozone, which continues to face popular protest and sporadic violence over economic crisis and reform.

Sold him my elbow pads, excellent transaction, and very simple to work with. He is HIGHLY recommended.
In the past couple of years we've seen companies disappear, we've seen teams fall apart, we've seen leagues fail. But we've also seen players humbly return to their "family" teams after enjoying a paid ride of being a hired gun by the highest bidder. We've seen industry gurus come back to the sport after selling off everything they worked so hard to build, only to start over again fresh and new. We've seen this sport suffer along with every other industry due to the current economic conditions, and yet we've seen survival.

While her team-mates hunt goals in the Women's Champions League on Thursday, Emma Byrne will be striving to keep the clean sheet that would make their task a whole lot easier.
Arsenal Ladies must turn around a 2-0 first-leg deficit against Spanish champions Rayo Vallecano to take their place in the Quarter-Finals but an away goal will leave them needing to score four times. It's a precarious position but Emma is confident Arsenal can record a famous victory.
We caught up with the goalkeeper ahead of Thursday's second leg. She discussed:
- the story behind the first-leg defeat
- the reasons for Arsenal's poor display
- why she thinks they can turn the tie around
- the lack of competitive games
- the importance of a clean sheet
- the prospect of a penalty shoot-out
- why she does not study spot kicks
- the return of Faye White and Katie Chapman
