Not really seeing the "n" theme here either. You have a "n+(pi)" but I just see pi in the numbers, no "n"
Re: Notorious
I think that just might count as text too.

If you look in the negative space between them, it looks like the right-hand part of an "n," from the curve onward...

¬¬ a cat eating a cat? only on woot
Though I must say the design is lovely.
but um... I see more than 6 colors.
Great! I hope it gets printed!
This is a great design. Here, have my vote.
Though I do think it would be even better with only one raven (or is the other supposed to be the eagle?) and without hammer and helmet. I think you do not need symbols to represent all parts of the story - I think a little simplified would just look better as a design.

How is this on topic?
Symbols are considered text. If it's on a keyboard, it counts as text according to Woot.

Usually cats on shirts are a no-no for me, but this is very creative and funny. +1

I was wondering about this also. If it was endless love, wouldn't it be n + ∞ ? ( and that's still text)
Funny, cute and sick all at once. Love it! GMV

I appreciate the dual ravens of Thought and Memory.
This is so cute. And clever use of the balloons forming the #99.
good use of the "no text" loophole
I know I'm missing something obvious, but how do I vote?

Re: Nutcracker
Outlanders! Mutants! Guns!, I need this shirt. One November, we got tickets to the ballet for my mum's birthday, but we just told her we were going to a "surprise place". On the drive, my dad tried to convince her we were going to a Mexican wrestling match. We got to the theater, and when it started, my bff looked at me and was like, "Not the nutcracker I was expecting." Hard not to die laughing in the middle of the ballet.
Re: Notes
Shame this got rejected. This is probably the best shirt of the derby. I feel like this shirt is still in keeping with the spirit of the rules this week, if not the letter.
Re: night walkers
This design is sweet. I wish it was doing as well as your others. +1 for this, and congrats on a good week overall so far. Good luck!
Thanks for the support, folks!

Re: Neural Network (on Navy)
Thanks, autsey and kharma!
In case you don't know what a neural network is, it can refer to either a biological or artificial structure of interconnected nodes. Here's a fun implementation of an artificial neural network.
I've left it open to interpretation whether the network I've depicted is natural or artificial, and whether the human is exploring its own inner world, or merging with the grand nexus of man and machine, aka the internet.
Some have interpreted the impending "end of the world" as the beginning of just such an age - one in which our concept of humanity sublimates into our self-created web of consciousness.
So, yeah!
well done love it
couldnt help but giggle when i saw this
wow very cool mashup there love it
i just want to say thank you for making this design

text: Great perspective. One game, with the coach learning what his players bring to the table. Admittedly, he clearly didn't see them bringing a whole lot, but it's still very, very early. There's no getting around it, this is going to be a rough season. Last night showcased the Pistons' biggest weakness, which is their lack of any down-low presence. This is going to be an issue for them all year long, but everyone also needs to consider that the Pacers have one of the best center-PF combos in the league in Hibbert and West, and Hansborough gave some indication last night that he's an almost perfect off-the-bench front court player. Indiana was a bad matchup. Does that excuse the Pistons' weaknesses? No, it doesn't. But as fans, it's no reason to go jumping off a cliff. Sticking with the three positives... Jerebko was overmatched defensively but played well in spite of it. He's going to be a staple of this team for years to come, although ideally he's more of a stretch 3 or bench 4 than a starting 4. Ben Wallace was back to his old self, grabbing 7 boards and blocking 3 shots in only 20 minutes. Stuckey is not an emotional leader, but he did finish with 17 points and six assists, and did it without much help offensively from his wing players (Prince, Gordon, and Daye were a combined 7-27). He was the only player without a negative +/-. He's not all-world, but everyone really needs to get off his back because, regardless of his inconsistencies, he's still the best player on the Pistons' roster. It's only one game. It's only one game. It's only one game. And even if it wasn't, next year's draft class is going to be amazing. So it's really win-win.

Hi, Just out of interest, I know its a bit strange but one of the commercials I bought was a sex shop, again mainly for the 4 residential units it came with.
We had some issues with the bank but I just wondered if anyone had any idea about resale of this building? Do you think it would put people off?
The good thing is that this is a national chain with over 40 stores so it is a very good tenant, its not quite Ann Summers and certainly a bit more seedy with some eye opening stuff but I just wondered with this being a national company would I get a great price upon selling? Or will a lot of people be put off? Any idea on what rent multiple for this?

What If … the "Hockey Stick" Were Wrong?
Unfortunately, that also doesn't follow. The only thing that would follow in that case is that our data are not yet good enough to prove that anthropogenic climate change is already happening. That would not be so surprising – the expected amount of anthropogenic global warming to date (based on the radiative effects of the greenhouse gases and aerosols emitted by humans thus far) is only ~0.5 ºC. It is a small signal that is not easy to detect amongst the natural variability; most of the anthropogenic warming is still to come (the point of conducting science is to give an early warning, rather than just wait until the facts are obvious to everyone).
The main reason for concern about anthropogenic climate change is not that we can already see it (although we can). The main reason is twofold.
(1) Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are increasing rapidly in the atmosphere due to human activity. This is a measured fact not even disputed by staunch "climate skeptics".
(2) Any increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will change the radiation balance of the Earth and increase surface temperatures. This is basic and undisputed physics that has been known for over a hundred years.
But how strong is this warming effect? That is the only fundamental doubt about anthropogenic climate change that can still be legitimately debated. We climatologists describe this in terms of the climate sensitivity, the warming that results in equilibrium from a doubling of CO2. The IPCC gives the uncertainty range as 1.5-4.5 ºC. Only if this is wrong, and the true value is lower, can we escape the fact that unabated emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to the warming projected by the IPCC.
Chances for that are not good. A new large uncertainty analysis that appeared this week in Nature shows that it is very difficult to get a climate sensitivity below 2 ºC in a climate model, no matter how one changes the parameters. And climate history, with its Ice Ages and other large changes, also speaks strongly against low climate sensitivity.
Discussion about the temperature evolution of the past millennium will no doubt continue in the coming years. The most fundamental problem – the sparseness of data – will not be fixed quickly, but eventually better reconstructions with smaller uncertainties will become available. However, this discussion needs to be conducted in a sober and unexcited manner; it does not help to overburden the "hockey stick" with symbolic meaning. In some media reports, the "hockey stick" has even been hyped as "a pillar of the Kyoto protocol" (which was agreed in 1997 and thus predates it) or as "proof that humans are warming the Earth". This is a serious misunderstanding of the scientific meaning of these data.
The discussions about the past millennium are not discussions about whether humans are changing climate; neither do they affect our projections for the future. In fact, if humanity takes no action and this century will bring a temperature rise of 2 ºC, 3 ºC or even more, the current discussions over whether the 14th Century was a few tenths of a degree warmer or the 17th a few tenths cooler than previously thought will look rather academic.

By Nik Brumsack
Wojciech Szczesny says he is delighted to be back between the posts after injury hampered his start to the season - and he feels his best form is returning.
Szczesny started Arsenal's first game of the campaign against Sunderland, before rib and ankle knocks limited him to one more start prior to his comeback in last month's north London derby.
Szczesny admits it was a tough time to be sidelined and now he wants to help Arsenal to climb the league table.
"I admit it has been a difficult few months," he said. "I found it hard to adjust playing with little injuries and knocks, especially in the last couple of months of last season.
"But I am pretty much sharper and fitter now, looking forward to getting back to my best and leaving those difficult times behind.
"I am feeling really sharp in every game, and the manager is sticking with me, which is really good, so I just want to get back to my best as quick as I can because I have not been at my best for the last few months.
"I am definitely surprised by our position in the league, because when you have the quality of our players, we should be fighting for trophies and we do have one of the best teams in the Premier League.
"Our fans do not deserve to see us 10th in the table, but it is our responsibility to put things right and make sure we get back to where we belong."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

A World Without SPEC
Many of us gripe about all the rules required when we make a benchmark claim. Well, I've seen a world without SPEC. Without TPPC. Without SAP benchmark rules. And it's not pretty.
This morning, Sun published a press release with HPC benchmark claims. Like a cowboy, shoot 'em all, let's claim everything under the sun. Great performance, super energy efficiency. And it also toasts bread.
Don't even think about checking out any of the claims. With no rules to follow, no data, no footnotes, it's a free-for-all.
This summer I read the sci-fi apocalyptic classic "I am Legend" by Richard Matheson. With no more rules to follow when you're possibly the last man alive, things get a little out of control.
I've seen the world without SPEC. And it's not pretty.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Barbara! Hello, thanks for your input. You know I love Glock and your dogs, I feel very lucky that I got my first working line GSD from you. Hopefully within the next couple of years I will add a second, once Glock and I are ready for it.
I bred Glock. Glocks sire Dyks is out of a litter that all had passing hd ed and all had working titles. Dyk is a social hardworking healthy dog that is respected by every decoy that has caught him. Dyks dam Bara was selected to the national team many times and was still getting youth titles at 8 years of age. Bara herself was a ZVV3 bitch that produced healthy working dogs no matter what she was bred too and was bred often hard to compete with a breeding bitch. These are facts can be checked via actual pedigrees and the CMKU. Zoran Ben Ju was a great working and producing dog he is double on Chuna Policia again produced no matter what she was bred to. Glocks dam is bred again on top maternal lines used by the Danaru Kennel in Adela. Again Adela produced no matter what she was bred to. Hena is bred on Bero and great son of Held Von Ritterburg. Glock is bred 4/3 on Norbo. This what the breed warden said about Norbo. this is a quote "
NORBO BEN-JU represents the working dog with the look of the original German Shepherd. Norbo was born October 29th, 1995. He is a big, strong, absolutely healthy dog with perfectly healthy back, elbows and hips. Norbo went through really hard training that left no effect on his hard and uncompromising character. In his case he is a dog with enormously developed retrieve and prey drive. His prey drive doesn't prevent him from uncompromisingly stop any attack of any person even without the protective aids for biting.
Not even 5-yrs old he has been 3 times attending World Championship WUSF and has always placed in the first third of all contestants. Especially hard is his way of stopping of the attacking helper. In the current time Norbo has completed IPO3, SchH3 and now he is ready to complete ZVV titles. NORBO has been selected to the 1st breeding class for the life with 5KV5/55.
NORBO is not a product of inline breeding. His father Car z Kostoljanskej cesty is one of the most successful stud dogs in Slovakia as far as the number of the offspring successfully placed in the Championship competition of working dogs is concerned. His mother Norba-Chuna Policia comes from the best lines of the z Pohranicni straze dogs.
"NORBO's blood should be used everywhere where you need to improve health, strength of nerves and the strength of constitution type. His blood will occupy the considerable place in the breeding of working GS
Check the 6 generation pedigree for your dog and you'll learn even more about what's behind him.
6 generation long pedigree for Glock von der Canyon
He is out of Czech working and border patrol lines, DDR lines, and German working lines. He has quite a few well known working dogs and lines behind him.
|what did the breeder tell you about it?
Slowly trying to learn more
So I am slowly trying to gather more insight and knowledge about pedigrees and bloodlines. Soooo I am going to be brave and put Glock's pedigree up. Obviously, he's my baby and I in the end it doesn't any difference, but I would like to have more knowledge for my next dog. So here it is, thoughts comments, etc.

I am not sure if this counts as a refashion, but I love it and had to share. I took a plain white tablecloth and painted metallic stripes on it for the upcoming holidays. I also took plain napkins and painted chevron patterned stripes on the bottom.
I think it's a fun way to refashion your table and create a one-of-a-kind look. You can check out my Metallic Tablescape at Tatertots & Jello. Have a happy day!!

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"The quality of these super cute, modern cards is superb. Go with the pearl paper, you won't regret. Fun size! I like to be a little different; these pleased! Shipped fast."
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."

Just wanted to share a few picks of my living quarters
Just wanted to share a few picks of my living quarters
Is that a Jawa or a cat in the third photo? Spooky!!!
In pic one Boba is shooting at Luke. In pic three there is a woman in bed? I don't remember that part of ESB. Must be the directors cut.
Nothing says "Holiday Season" like hanging a wreath over your AT-ST! Awesome cave, bro!
It seems the woman in your life has invaded your turf. Get her her own TV for her chick flicks or start calling it the "Man-Cave-Unless-The-Wife-Wants-To-Use-It-Too".
i didn't think master chief was in star wars
I wish I had a corner of the house or even the yard that was mine. My house is completely my wife and kids.
So congrats on the cave
As to why we have Fett blasting Luke in one and Sandra Bullock in the other, well thats easy, I'm secretly in love with her. Actually the TV was just on and it happened to be the proposal. After a few shots I decided to add Mr. Fett instead. Now as to Master Chief, well yeah he wasn't in the films, but the helmet needed a safe place. So it got placed kinda low but still displayed until that spot gets filled with more SW stuff.
Lastly, I love my Jawa cat.
I've managed to keep a room for myself and my toys.
I'm sure that will be re-negotiated when the management has her own ideas for the room down the track

PCLinuxOS 2011.6 Review
For those who don't know, PCLinuxOS is rolling distro that originated from several other distros, Mandrake/Mandriva probably being the most influencial. It incorporates stuff from others as well, though, as well as its own software. Its goal is to provide a smooth user experience, which it achieves through very thorough hardware support, lightning fast performance and a wide range of applications, most of which are constantly updated to their latest stable versions.
As usual, PCLinuxOS 2011.6 is provided in a LIVECD format, which has both pros and cons. I personally love the smaller size, specially because lately I spend more time uninstalling preinstalled applications than installing new ones. What can I say, I can live with a fairly small selection of software!
Booting from the LiveCD is a cool experience, I particularly liked the new branding, which has changed significantly since the last time I saw it. Overall, it is more consistent transitioning from splash screen to KDM and then to the desktop, as well as more attractive with that brushed metal outfit. Unfortunately, the default desktop in the LiveCD is not that visually appealing.
Click on image to enlarge.
Simply changing a couple things already makes things look better, so that's not really big deal by any means. The LiveCD session is what one would expect, always recommended to understand whether your hardware is correctly supported, but it should be a short stop before installation.
As was the case when I first tried it, installation of PCLinuxOS went by pretty quickly this time around. Perhaps I am bit biased from recent installations, which involved heavy LiveDVD configurations, but PCLinuxOS seemed to get installed almost too quickly.
Booting for the first time provides an introduction to the new branding, starting with a new splash screen showing the PCLinuxOS Logo and a progress bar at the bottom. In my opinion, both look poor and dated, and the same applies to the default KDM theme, unfortunately. This is a shame, specially because the default installation brings better looking alternatives with it, such as the Textar KDE KDM theme.
As I mentioned already, the default desktop is not that good looking, but changing the Workspace theme already makes a big difference.
Click on image to enlarge.
All in all, PCLinuxOS 2011.6 is an even more refined version of the great KDE distro I tested about a year ago for the first time. Let's dive a little deeper into it.
From the distrowatch.com announcement:
"PCLinuxOS KDE 2011.6 for 32-bit and 64-bit computers is now available for download. The Linux kernel was updated to version 18.104.22.168. Additional kernels are available from our repositories such as a PAE kernel for computers with more than 4 GB of memory. A BFS kernel for maximum desktop performance and a standard kernel with group scheduling enabled. X.Org Server was updated to version 1.10.2. Mesa updated to 7.10.3 and libdrm to version 2.4.26. These updates bring enhancements to the PCLinuxOS desktop including speed, 3D desktop support for most Intel, NVIDIA and AMD/ATI video cards, better font rendering, black screen fixes for most NVIDIA cards, better Flash playback and more."
Aside from that list of features, one thing that is easily noticeable after installing PCLinuxOS is that it is very fast and responsive. In fact, it kind of makes one wonder how there can be such a difference in performance when comparing it with other distros that sport KDE as the default desktop manager. This proves that some of the claims raised against KDE (heavy, slow, bloated, resource eater, etc.) may actually be down to the distro it sits on top of.
Click on image to enlarge.
As can be seen from the screenshot above, resource consumption is fairly low. More on this on the screenshot below, the KDE system monitor, which demonstrates reasonable CPU and Memory use, even with KTorrent, Chromium and the system monitor itself open.
Click on image to enlarge.
On top of that superb performance and tight KDE integration I just mentioned, PCLinuxOS has some other interesting features of its own. Its Control Center, one of the most obvious Mandriva influences, is a great tool to manage all things system, from Hardware to User accounts. As such, KDE's own network manager is nowhere to be found, users have to deal with PCLinuxOS own network manager.
Click on image to enlarge.
Now, is this mix of KDE and PCLinuxOS features good or bad? On the one hand, I see advantages in that the Control Center is easy to use, powerful and probably easier to grasp for users with a Windows background. Along those lines, the PCLinuxOS Network Manager is similarly easy to use, supports 3G connections out of the box and based on my testing so far, is both quick to connect and reliable (no connection drops). On the other hand, splitting some of those system management tasks can sometimes get confusing, and some of KDE's features don't seem to get along well with PCLinuxOS's own. For instance, many Plasma widgets that rely on a network connection (weather and RSS, to name a couple) often fail to fetch information or refresh it, which is something I have seen work perfectly in other, more "purist" KDE implementations.
One of PCLinuxOS best things, specially from an end user perspective, is that everything is perfectly setup and ready to go out of the box. Codecs, drivers, fonts... Anything you can think of "simply works", and that is quite an achievement.
Starting with fonts, PCLinuxOS 2011.6 sports Ubuntu's own by default. Perhaps a weird choice for some, I personally believe they look great in a KDE context, perhaps even more so than in GNOME... If they are rendered correctly, that is.
As it turns out, PCLinuxOS manages to make them look better and more consistent than even Kubuntu itself, which in my experience always seemed to lose correct rendering after a couple sessions. In any case, correct font rendering is not that common in KDE distros, so that makes PCLinuxOS even more special in that sense.

Java comes installed and correctly configured, so downloading YouTube videos from keepvid.com was just a couple clicks away. Similarly, all kinds of Audio and Video Codecs come preinstalled, which enabled me to watch trailers from Apple's website without any extra configuration.
Click on image to enlarge.
Hardware support is superb, thanks to a wide range of preinstalled drivers. Except for Zorin 5 OS, no other distro managed to configure all hardware successfully on my HP 2740p out of the box as well as PCLinuxOS 2011.6 did. It even detected its infamous Broadcom wireless card, also perfectly configuring video and audio devices, including its webcam.
Click on image to enlarge.
PCLinuxOS 2011.6 includes many of KDE's best applications, such as digikam and Clementine, a photo manager and music player respectively.
Click on image to enlarge.
Digikam version is 1.9.0 and it has as many features as one could imagine, perhaps too many, but I guess that's the only way to appeal to both experts and novices in photo management.
Click on image to enlarge.
Clementine is on 0.71 and seems to be taking the KDE Audio player World by storm. At first, I was surprised to see several KDE distros drop Amarok in favor of it, something most seem to have done by now, but after using it for a while, I understood why. Clementine is a fabulous player, much lighter than Amarok, which includes the most relevant features in an easy and intuitive interface. It also gets the best from Amarok, such as the cover manager, leaving bloat aside.
All in all, I always felt like KDE had less options in terms of Audio players, certainly lacking something as cool as Banshee, but Clementine proved to be a perfect candidate to fill that gap.
Other application favorites include Firefox 5.0 (default browser of choice).
Click on image to enlarge.
Chromium 12 is available from the repositories.
Click on image to enlarge.
VLC is the default Media player.
Click on image to enlarge.
As I mentioned already, KDE shines in PCLinuxOS 2011.6. Not only does it feel solid and quick, but it also put me in a different mood, more willing to appreciate its strengths, given that its weaknesses were only partially showing. In all fairness, one has to wonder which one is the real KDE, the slow and heavy desktop manager that we see in many distros or the light, fast and responsive one we see in PCLinuxOS.
Click on image to enlarge.
All in all, I must admit I enjoyed this mature version of KDE 4.6, it is more flexible and less cumbersome than others I tried to this date. I still think it leans too much towards a desktop paradigm that originated in the 90s, but it's hard to challenge its strengths.
KDE users enjoy features that GNOME users only recently attained, or that require extra configuration, applications or plugins. A good example is the KDE panel, which incorporates features that GNOME users can only enjoy through the use of DockBarX. Similarly, mouse gestures that allow window maximize or split actions are native to recent KDE, while only recently present in GNOME Shell or Unity. Kwin effects, activities and semantic search are other relevant examples of KDE's great features.
My main thing against KDE is, as I have mentioned several times already, its unnecessary complexity and unintuitive aproach to certain pieces of functionality. Unfortunately, all of it returns unchanged release after release since KDE 4 series started, so I am starting to lose hope that it will ever improve.
Aside from what I just mentioned, some things are downright strange when compared with GNOME. For example, the use of conky requires some quirky fixes to get transparency to work.
Click on image to enlarge.
...But then again, it doesn't get along well with Plasma widgets!
Click on image to enlarge.
To be completely honest, though, I was pleasantly surprised with KDE 4.6.4 under PCLinuxOS.
PCLinuxOS 2011.6 is a natural evolution of all the great things that made PCLinuxOS 2010 the awesome release it was. I think it is a great Linux distro for any kind of user and the best way I know to experiment KDE in all its glory.
Download, install and enjoy!
EDIT (July 19th): Five days ago, PCLinuxOS released its 2011.7 MiniMe version, an interesting option for advanced users looking for a barebones KDE setup to customize at will. Highly recommended!

I really like your reviews. Was Zorin OS the only distro that detectet all your hardware correctly or did PCLinuxOS 2011.6 also that? Keep up your good work. I am waiting your next review.ReplyDelete
Both Zorin 5 OS and PCLinuxOS 2011.6 managed to pass my hardware recognition test with flying colors, both found and configured all peripherals perfectly.

Hey again Chema!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your quik reply. I agree both Zorin OS 5 Core and PCLinuxOS 2011.6 is really good when it comes to hardware recognition. Zorin OS the best Ubuntu based distro out there and PCLinux OS the best none-Ubuntu/Debian distro in my opinion.
If you like KDE take a look on Zeven OS KDE edition based on debian. It is light. Nice that you are starting to write reviews more frequent now days. I have always followed your blog, even if it is my second reply.
Have nice time!
Thanks, appreciate the support!ReplyDelete
I will look into Zeven, thanks for the heads up. I am also interested in Chakra, mostly because of the Arch foundation.
I wanted to ask, since you are more familiar with this distro. I tried it once, but what held me back was the 64bit thing, and I really don't want to change kernels or things like that. Does this version finally comes in 64 bit??ReplyDelete
@ JorgeReplyDelete
I believe Texstar, the man behind PCLinuxOS, is working on a 64-bit version. As usual, it will be ready when it's ready ;)
In the meantime the PAE kernel will be available (maybe even preloaded) when installed on a machine with more than 4 GB memory. On a 64-bit machine with less than 4 GB memory I don't think you'll miss out on anything if you install a 32-bit distro (but don't quote me on that ;) )

Recently I have received my first assignment to teach a child. I have never taught a kid before and this kid has a very low level of English. He also has a hard time focusing even though I can tell he is smart in the instances where I do grab his attention. I have 5 classes with him and each is 2.5 hours long (I know, this is far too long per class for a 9 year old).
So far I have had 2 classes with him and have been struggling. I feel as if I am not giving him the right material to keep him interested and teach him efficiently. I am aware that 5 classes is not really enough time to make a huge impact on his English abilities, but I would really like to feel as if I left him with something. I really want the last 3 classes to be more productive than the first 2.
Does anyone have any advice for me on teaching children and keeping them interested while learning?
Also, a major help would be suggestions of any really good one-on-one games you know of. He loves games (duh!).
My next class is in 4 days so I am working on a time limit here, I appreciate the help.
Thanks in Advance!

Dude you amaze me! You seriously have some talent! 8)
always above and beyond!!! excellent!!!
????? Idont see any thing pic or link ???
just one question. where dose this go in the helmet?
to answer the last 2 questions:
- how to make it. even though this question is old, it seems worth talking about a bit.
however you want seriously... this gives you layout / measurement. what you make it out of us up to you.
- where does it go?
in the back of the helmet, behind the keyslots.
see wiki link: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/wiki/25937
Hello everybody... I am considering making a test-run of a couple (or, perhaps a handful) of this circuit board with a friend's Epilog Laser. Is there any desire for this object as to make more than 2-to-5 laser-cut options? Should I consider making more than this small quantity? I am trying to find out general interest before starting a true interest thread.
Also, WoF, is this acceptable to you if I do so, utilizing your drawing? I have pictures of the circuit board, but your schematic seems the most logical and efficient way. Especially since it is such a tiny element to the Fett Lid detailing. Your response by PM would be appreciated.
Moderators, please let me know if asking this question, regarding interest, is not a violation of Forum Rules. Thank You.
White Commando
and where does one go to get one of these boards?
For an original Casio MQ-1 Calculator eBay is your best chance, and sometimes you will find some in the Cargo Hold too. But there are resin replicas made by some members, one of them is Will (redkraytdragon). Darth Voorhees used to do these, but not sure if he still cast them or not.
Thank you for all the PDF files on boba fett helmet I will give that a go at some time in near future cheers wizardoflight.í*½í¸

I know that many people don't care about wood trim in a VW, but personally I like it as long as it is not the crappy wood grain plastic trim you find in many Japanese or domestic cars. Is the Passat's wood trim similar in construction to the trim in the CC VR6 Executive, for example? i know that even real wood trim is made of a very thin layer of wood encapsulated by a glossy finish layer. I am OK with that, but I am hoping that the cost cutting for the 2012 Passat does not mean that the wood trim is of the cheap patterned plastic variety you find in an Accord or Camry.
By the way, in addition to the main wood or aluminum trim pieces on the dash, is there a thin matching strip running along the base of the windshield? I saw an interior picture of an SEL showing the A-pillar Fender tweeters and it looked like there was a thin strip of wood trim there. Is that strip made of aluminum (real or otherwise) on lower trim levels?

Download While new models of care collaboration are being implemented in many forms globally, moving from concept to successful implementation involves process changes and business transformation that may be the biggest challenges to healthcare organizations. Care collaboration tools that support and assist organizational transformation are key to driving successful outcomes. What these tools can enable is important. But who these tools engage and connect, the way in which they are engaged and connected, and the way in which they ultimately use the tools are more important in transforming care delivery.

Y'all have me dieing up here. I just lost another hive to the cold snap we had this past week and they are colling for temps to go down to the 20's this coming weekend and highs only in the 40's too. I did check the girls this weekend and the rest seem to be bringing in pollen and are staring the build up and have drones. John
First warm day with sun and no wind and the party begins!I need to deploy more traps but the weather is stopping that too. Bailey
If it ever stops raining maybe i can make a few splits. The blackberries are just about in full bloom but this weather is not letting the bees take advantage of it. Hopefully after this cold front passes swarm season will be in full swing.

I actually didn't pay that much for the seats - they were in terrible shape, so needed the retrim anyway. I re-laid the composite resin and polished it back up as this was scratched up too. Now they look brand new and I know they're safe and FIA approved
Edit: And yes, more pics are coming ASAP
more pics

OMG!!!!! Don't ever drive it......You need to keep the writing on the tire tread nice and clean.
Sick car man and congrats on the project. I'm about 10years behind you.
The last couple of cars I've done have always lacked 'something', so I wanted this one to be complete.
Only problem is that I do intend to drive it hard, so I'll need a second set of wheels with R-spec tyres - the 16s will be rubbish for anything but shows, and this isn't really my scene - I just like clean cars
Appreciate everyones' comments - I'm all amped up to work on it this weeked
looks amazzing the PLS Evolution wheels are fantastic
A Rabbit is not to be wasted on the tentative or weak. Only the worthy are invited, and then only at your own risk. If you have even a modicum of hesitation, DO NOT buy one of these cars. Instead, leave it for a worthy soul who has already matriculated to the sublime ecstasy of what those in the know refer to as a "MK1"
fukeng gorgeous sir!! def one of my fav cars!!
did u buy your cae used?new? 02M I assume?? where did u buy from?
I want to put one in my car... their so nice and don't have to reach below my bolster to switch gears.
again.. your car is!!!!!!!!!!!
(somewhat) patiently awaiting more details
They're expensive, but worth the money, as the quality is top notch
yeah noticed they have an 02J kit but no cables... does the 02J use the stock cables? I would love to do the SQS 6 02J
got a partnumber for the bracket?? 50mm is def nice. right now i have a very disciplined shift everytime since my shifter knob is below my side bolster..makes 2nd and reverse very crappy and well...alot of extra motion that requires time and precision at speed ya know?
Here is some handy info compiled by a VWMS nut on ClubGTI covering the different shifter tower parts:
left to right, top row: OE Corrado bracket, then same with 13mm ball, then later style 02A/J bracket. Ignore one on right.
Middle row, left to right: VWM washer/needle bearing/washer then VWM brass bush which replaces OE plastic item, then washer/needle bearing/washer. These basically stop slack in the pivot. Brass bush dimensions are 33mm long, 8mm ID, 12.5mm OD, steps on ends are 9.85mm OD, thicker body is 25.75mm long, leaving smaller dia ends at about 3.63 mm each end.
Lower row is OE early 02A, with VWM shortened version below, and then later 02A/J version to the right which works with the other bracket above it.
Edit: it's the early Corrado stuff that was used on the VW Motorsport cars (ie stuff on left) - the ones on the RHS weren't used.
In other news, didn't really get anything 'photo worthy' done on the car this weekend. Spent some hours tuning in the shifter (difficult to do properly with stone cold gearbox oil, though, as you never know how positive the shift will really feel!). Still yet to get it back on the ground, but this will happen next weekend. Can't wait to get it back out into the Aussie sun

** International students will be required to pay International Student fees.
*** Student enrollment fees are set by California's legislature and governor and are subject to change at any time.
dually enrolled students with what they believe are "extenuating circumstances" requiring excess units must receive special permission from the Dean of Enrollment Services and are required to pay ALL enrollment fees. No fee waivers will be applied.
Students who are not high school Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors or Seniors, but are "academically gifted" (determined by the College) requesting admissions and enrollment must receive special permission from the Vice President, Student Services or his/her designee.
dual enrollment students seeking accommodations for disabilities are required to submit their disability verification from a qualified professional in writing to the Disability Resource Center to request accommodations. The college cannot accept high school Individual Education Plans (IEPs) nor can we participate in the IEP process.
dual enrollment students considering taking online courses should review requirements and take the Reality Check: Are you ready to be an online learner? It is also imperative that you take an online orientation either in-person or online prior to starting any online classes.
Any elementary or secondary public school student who by petition has obtained the approval of his/her own school district governing board to attend college on the grounds that the student would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work. (Students are not allowed to enroll part-time at Foothill College while they are enrolled in elementary or secondary school.)
*Non-California residents may be required to pay out-of-state fees.
**International students will be required to pay International Student fees.
*** Student enrollment fees are set by California's legislature and governor and are subject to change at any time.
dual enrollment: dual enrollment for 11th and 12th grade high school students allows enrollment in college-level, degree-applicable courses for advanced scholastic or advanced vocational purposes.
Release of Holds Forms: Prerequisites are conditions of enrollment that students are required to meet prior to enrollment in particular courses or programs. The assignment of a prerequisite to a course signifies that the course, skills, or body of knowledge described in the course are essential to the success of the student in that course and that it is highly unlikely that a student who has not met the prerequisite will earn a satisfactory grade in the course (or at least one course in the program) for which the prerequisite has been established.
Course Advisory: When a course has an advisory, it means that the College is recommending a certain preparation before entering the course. The preparation is considered advantageous to a student's success in the class. This preparation is recommended, and the student is advised (but not required) to meet the condition before or in conjunction with enrollment in the course or educational program.
OpenCCC is the statewide, online gateway for California Community Colleges where you can create and submit your application to Foothill College and over one hundred other colleges. To use OpenCCC, you will need to create an account username and password for that system. After you submit your application, please allow up to 2 business days for your application to be processed.
Remedial Courses: Any English courses numbered 100 and above; any English as a Second Language courses numbered 100 and above; any Math classes numbered 100 and above.
Student Education Plan (SEP) :An SEP outlines a suggested course of study for the individual student based on major, transfer plans and college goals. It is used to organize a sequence of courses needed to compete the individual student goals.
California Residency: A resident student is an individual who has lived in California for at least one year and one day prior to the beginning of a quarter, and has taken steps to establish residency within the State. To be considered a California resident, you must provide proof of intent to become a permanent California resident. Some examples of proof include having a California driver's license, voter registration, or car registration. The college will determine your residency based on all of the information you provide. If you are under 18 and unmarried, then the residence of the parent or guardian with whom you live or lived most recently will determine your residency.
Enrollment Fee: Enrollment fees are mandated by the State of California. Student enrollment fees are set by California's legislature and governor and are subject to change at any time. See the Official Fees page for complete Fee information.
Basic Fees: dually enrolled high school students do not pay Foothill College Basic Fees as listed at https://foothill.edu/reg/fees.php. dually enrolled students may purchase a Foothill College Student ID "Owl Card" for $10 per quarter at the ASFC Smart Shop, Campus Center, Room 2016
Non-Resident Tuition: A student who does not qualify for California residency is classified as a non-resident student and is required to pay a non-resident tuition fee. Non-resident students are required to cover the full costs of their tuition and therefore pay a higher rate. Students who are classified as non-residents will be charged a tuition fee in addition to the enrollment fee, health services fee and student representation fee.
International Student Fees: In addition to mandatory Basic Fees, F-1 status international students pay an international unit fee. (Subject to change without notice)

Tuesday 12th July
With us all getting used to our annual Austrian trip and despite travelling further afield being inevitable eventually, I still never thought I would be recording my first thoughts of our latest pre-season build up on a train travelling through southern Malaysia after spending a few days in the quite extraordinary Singapore City.
For me and many of those who have travelled from the UK, including much of the squad of course, this is very much virgin territory. And if the remainder of the journey through Malaysia and China proves equally as interesting and entertaining as our first destination it is definitely going to be something to remember.
Friends and expat Gooners Biggles and Hat have kindly been our guides so far in a city where the good things in life such as food, drink and sunshine very much go hand-in-hand with the contrasting architecture of the colonial buildings and skyscrapers of the fast-developing business sector.
Yet Kuala Lumpur they tell me is completely different so I look forward to our arrival with eager anticipation.
Tonight sees an open training session before tomorrow's first game of the tour and the chance to meet up with some of the many Gooners in this part of the world. Our plans of course surround this as well as the kind of activities any normal tourist would be undertaking in a country and city never visited before.
For now however, I am going to enjoy our train journey and all the bumps, rattles and shakes that go with it!

>(ROBO) I have no association with HID Hut, but just found that they have XenTari (1 lb) on sale for 24.99. With shipping it came to $33.49 for me. Your price might vary depending on shipping. This price isn't bad considering the guy selling it on Beesource wants $41.50 for 1lb.I paid $15 for a 1 lb package.
Got me thinking though---I thought twice about posting the price :-\ (unless asked) deleted the post w/ the price and somehow you pulled it back up. Is that an administrator function :-D But no offense taken ;)
Back on subject---has it worked for you (Robo). How much do you mix per gallon and how many frames approx. will a gallon cover?
I have just assembled 16 mediums with waxed wired...I am supposing I need to treat all wax with the BT??
Do you treat it when it is stored?

A Damascus-area man is facing drunk-driving and possible assault charges after a rollover crash injuring passengers from Oregon City and Gresham early on Sunday morning along Highway 224 about two miles east of Estacada.
Oregon State Police say that, at approximately 5 a.m. on June 30, 24-year-old Kyle E. Elgin drove a 2002 Toyota Tundra four-door pickup westbound on Highway 224 near milepost 27 when he lost control and entered the north-side ditch. After rolling, the pickup came to rest on its side.
Elgin, who has not been using a seat belt, was transported by LifeFlight to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center with serious injuries.
His three passengers, who were also injured and transported to hospitals with minor injuries, included Kyle Volpel, 23, of Oregon City, Shon Shiiki, 22, of Gresham, and Sara Erickson, 19, of Oregon City. The passengers were using safety restraints.
State police, lead by Trooper Tracy Clark, are continuing the investigation and will forward any additional charges to the Clackamas County District Attorneys Office for consideration.
OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings said that the very busy scene on Sunday morning closed down the highway for less than an hour as Elgin was cited for driving under the influence of intoxicants. OSP was assisted at the scene by Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, Estacada Rural Fire District No. 69, American Medical Response ambulance and ODOT.

Battleship TEXAS updates bring the past alive for visitors
AUSTIN, Texas — It fought in two world wars, saw action in Europe, Africa and the Pacific, traveled more than more than 728,000 miles, as far north as Iceland and as far south as Chile. It is the second longest-serving battleship ever commissioned by the U.S. Navy, in service from 1914 to 1948. Now, thanks in part to increased funds from the Texas Legislature, the Battleship TEXAS is getting an update that will make its long history more accessible and engaging for visitors.
On its final mission for the U.S. Navy, the TEXAS returned 4,267 U.S. troops from the Pacific theater to San Pedro, California in time for Christmas 1945. After its service in World War II had ended, the ship was presented to its namesake state, commissioned as the flagship of the Texas Navy and brought to a permanent home at Buffalo Bayou, minutes from downtown Houston and adjacent to the site of the Battle of San Jacinto, on the anniversary of the battle that won Texas' independence in 1836.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department took possession of the ship in 1983. The following year, TPWD began an extensive renovation of the ship.
The latest suite of updates includes a complete redo of all the ship's interpretive, wayfinding and safety signs-55 new interpretive labels located at significant points throughout the ship, about 14 larger interpretive exhibit panels in the port and starboard aircastles, orientation and welcome signs, assorted safety signs, new directional signs (maps) and a new interpretive brochure.
"If people arrive at a state park, whether it's a natural area or a historic site, and they're totally on their own, with no written or visual aids and no staff to explain things, they're going to miss a huge part of the experience," said Phil Hewitt, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department State Parks Division interpretation and exhibits director.
"Turn that around, and invest in people and resources to tell the story, and you have an exponential increase in visitors 'getting it,'" Hewitt said. "Interpretation makes the crucial difference for people to understand what's special about a park, to learn about natural and cultural resources, and to just have a lot more fun while they're there."
The new interpretation will explore the battleship's place in America's history-spanning the period from America's emergence as a nascent world power to the end of the Second World War. One new sign about the ship's Main Battery notes that when TEXAS was commissioned in 1914, the warship was the most powerful weapon afloat. TEXAS, one of only eight remaining battleships in the world, is a national historic landmark.
More information about the Battleship TEXAS, including a video about the ship and its history, can be found on the TPWD Web site. PHOTOS and GRAPHICS for news media use, including several of the new interpretive signs and panels, are available as high resolution .jpg files in the News Images area of the site.

Percy Jackson: This is a pen. This is a *pen.*
[last lines]
Annabeth Chase: [leaning in as if to kiss Percy, then swiping his sword] First rule of battle strategy. Don't ever let your opponent distract you.
Percy Jackson: Mr. Brunner?
Chiron: In my world, I'm known as Chiron. Are you recovered?
Percy Jackson: Am I recovered? You, you're not in a wheelchair. You have...
Chiron: A real horses ass.
Hades: [yelling] Persephone! What could possibly be taking so long? Don't ignore me!
Persephone: [yells back] Or what? What will you do?
Persephone: I'm already in Hell.
Grover: [holding up the Medusa head] Guys, I cannot pee with her watching!
[the passing maid sees the head, screams, and runs off]
Annabeth Chase: We better leave before Homeland Security shows up.
Luke: Do me a favor. If you see my dad on the highway to hell...
Percy Jackson: Yeah?
Luke: Kick his ass for me.
Percy Jackson: You guys take camp way too seriously.

Percy Jackson: What's her name?
[pointing at Annabeth]
Grover: [laughs] She will squash you like a bug.
Percy Jackson: Her *name*.
Grover: Annabeth. Daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
Grover: [the ferry man just burned the money he gave him] Come on man, You could've warned me...
Grover: We're in a recession!
[first lines]

Poseidon: It's been many years

Poseidon: Thunder clouds.
Zeus: With no lightning. Stolen.
Percy Jackson: Oh I wish I could spend all day in the water instead of this place
Grover: Oh like High School without the musical
Zeus: Give me the bolt, lightning thief.
[Percy lobs the bolt to Zeus. In Zeus' grasp, the lightning bolt grows to its true size]
Zeus: You're wise to betray your father.
Percy Jackson: I didn't steal it! And I have no connection to Poseidon.
Zeus: But tell me... if you didn't steal it, then who did?
Percy Jackson: Luke. Son of Hermes.
[Hermes glances at Percy in surprise]
Percy Jackson: You see, he was angry at you. All of you! He wanted you to destroy yourselves.
Grover: And he's alive! Percy Jackson is a beast! You're a beast, man! Gimme some!
Percy Jackson: How long was that?
Grover: Seven minutes.
Percy Jackson: Seven minutes?

Percy Jackson: [seeing the red flag across the stream] No...
[Percy hurries across the stream, chuckling]
Percy Jackson: We won.
[Annabeth drops from the trees]
Percy Jackson: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Annabeth Chase: Do you really think it would be that easy? My mother is the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. Do you know what that means? I always win.
Percy Jackson: I always lose. Maybe we're both wrong.
Annabeth Chase: [attacks] Hyah!
Chiron: Keep moving! Keep moving! Don't lose interest! One foot in front of the other and the next thing you know, you're running!
Percy Jackson: I get the sense that you don't like me very much.
Annabeth Chase: It's possible. I mean, our parents hate each other.
Percy Jackson: Wait... they do?
Annabeth Chase: Mm-hmm. I definitely have strong feelings for you. I just haven't decided if they're positive or negative yet.
Percy Jackson: Well, you let me know when you figure it out.
Annabeth Chase: You'll be the first.
Poseidon: I know I'm not the father you always wanted. But if you even need me, I'll be there for you. In your thoughts, in your dreams.
Medusa: We get so lonely here. That's why I created my statues. They're my only company.
Medusa: [to Annabeth] Daughter of Athena.
Annabeth Chase: How do you know me?
Medusa: You have such a beautiful hair. I used to have like that one before. I was courted, desired by many. But that all changed, because of your mother-who cursed me, who turned me into...
[removing her hair cover]
Annabeth Chase: Don't look!
Medusa: This.
[snakes hissing]
Medusa: They say the eyes are windows to the soul. I hope you find my eyes...
[removing her glasses]
Medusa: Attractive... So rude not looking people in the eyes. Come on, sneak a peak.
Percy Jackson: You're half donkey?
Grover: No, half goat! Now come on!
[busts out window and climbs out running with hooves]
Chiron: [quietly, to Grover] They found him. He's in danger.
Percy Jackson: Who found me?.
Percy Jackson: Let's stop for the night!
Grover: Yeah.
Percy Jackson: Let's stop for the night!
Grover: Yeah.
Ferryman: Welcome to the underworld.
Percy Jackson: [Upon seeing objects floating by him] What is all this?
Ferryman: Scrap heap of human misery. Lost hopes and dreams. Wishes that never came true.
Mrs. Dodds: You stole the lightning bolt!
Percy Jackson: I don't know what your talking about!
Mrs. Dodds: Give to me, now, or I will bite your heart out!
Annabeth Chase: [bringing Percy and Grover to Luke's quarters] Luke?
Luke: [playing Call of Duty on a big flat-screen monitor] Hmm? Hey, guys! Percy, I figured you'd stop by sooner or later. Everybody does, just to get away from all that Renaissance Fair stuff out there, you know?
[Luke turns off the video game, stands, and gestures at all his electronics in the quarters]
Luke: But... welcome to the modern world.
Luke: Percy Jackson! Well, you're weren't supposed to make it out alive. I can't let you that bolt to Olympus. I'm the lightning thief.
Percy Jackson: You hid the bolt in my shield. Why?
Luke: Well, when you said you were going to the Underworld, it hit me. That is the perfect opportunity to get the bolt to Hades.
Percy Jackson: Why would you do that?
Luke: To bring Olympus crumbling down.
Percy Jackson: Don't the Gods see their kids?
Hades: Percy Jackson. Bring me the bolt. Be a good boy. Hand it to me and I'll exchange it for your mother.
Chiron: Percy! Listen- Percy!
Percy Jackson: [he walks towards him] My mother's gone!
Hades: No. Your mother is still alive. I sent the Minotaur to abduct her. She's here with me in the Underworld.
[He helds out his palm to reveal a ball of fire that forms a figure of Percy's mom]
Sally Jackson: Percy.
[Hades swipes his hand and she disappears]
Percy Jackson: What have you done with my mother?
Hades: If you ever want to see your mother again, you will bring me the bolt!
[disappears in a fiery tornado]
Percy Jackson: [watching a kid playing a game based on The French Connection movie] The French Connection, huh?
Smart Ass Kid: Yeah. You seen it yet?
Percy Jackson: Yeah, yeah, I think so, on DVD.
Smart Ass Kid: What's DVD?
Percy Jackson: Seriously?
Smart Ass Kid: Whatever. I think it's the best movie of the year.
Percy Jackson: What? Wait. This year?
Smart Ass Kid: Yeah, this year. 1971.
Percy Jackson: [Gabe slaps Sally's butt] Oh, come on, man. You have to do that right here? That's disgusting. We're in a kitchen.
Medusa: [When she meets Annabeth & the Hysterical Woman] Well THIS is a fabulous surprise!
Medusa: I hear you have the lightning bolt. May I see it?
Percy Jackson: I don't have it!
Medusa: Let me see you eyes. I hear they're bluer than the Circassian Sea! Open them, or my hungry babies will have to open them for you. But it would be such a pity to destroy such a young, handsome face. Stay with me, Percy. All you have to do is look.
Grover: Look, don't worry. There's hundreds in the world. Some lead normal lives, and some, I'm not allowed to divulge their names, are very famous. I'm talking about, like White House famous. See, man, this is a place where you'll learn to harness your powers. You'll train to become leaders, warriors and heroes.
Percy Jackson: I think you have the wrong guy, alright? I;m not a hero. I'm a loser. I have dyslexia, ADHD.
Grover: And those are your greatest gifts. When you try to read, the words float off the page, right? That's because your brain is hardwired for Ancient Greek, not English.
Percy Jackson: Like at the museum, I could read.
Grover: Yeah. And your ADHD? You're impulsive, Percy. You can't by still! Those are your natural battle reflexes, man. They kept you alive in your fight.
Medusa: I used to date your daddy.

Hillcrest's 11-7 victory over Olympus was a two-part play with senior Zak Zimmerman starring at center stage.
The 6-4 senior started the game in right field. Batting seventh in the lineup, the left-handed senior stood tall over the plate with his bat poised high. His pant legs were crisp white as he jacked back-to-back home runs in the first and third. Trotting the four-baggers out, Zimmerman looked like he barely broke a sweat putting Hillcrest up 10-1 by the fifth.
"When you see those pitches coming down the pipe, you just got to swing on them," Zimmerman said.
Hillcrest starting pitcher VJ Vincon was in control through five innings, throwing a combination of changeups and fastballs to keep the Titans off-balance.
However, Vincon got into a jam when the Olympus bats came alive. After allowing four to score, Vincon was pulled and Zimmerman was called upon.
Inheriting two runners, Zimmerman swapped gloves and got to work. He knew that he had to stop the rally and get the Huskies out of the inning.
"I think of myself as a pitcher," Zimmerman said. "When coach brought me in, I just wanted to do the work and help my team."
The next two Titans were struck out. Hillcrest catcher Ben Farar was impressed with Zimmerman's ability to get out of the inning.
"Zak came in and threw really hard. Olympus were out in front a lot more on Zak's curve," Farar said. "Zak's curve was breaking awesome."
Zimmerman retired the side in the sixth with two more strikeouts and digging out a come-backer for the easy play at first.
While Hillcrest was able to hold on for the win, Farar cautioned his team for losing concentration.
"When we have the lead, we need to make sure that we don't make the mental errors," Farar said. "We got to put them away when we get the chance."

Discussion in 'November 2007' started by Dlev59, Nov 11, 2007.
Don't spend too much time correcting me on such things. I post my reports without looking at the boxscores. I will make mistakes. The reason I do not look at the boxscore is that I want to get my impressions from the game down while they are still fresh in my mind.
wow saunders actually somewhat alludes to the fact that they were too late in playing pressure defense. of course, he says it in such a manner that he doesn't put blame on himself and uses weird English. 'you could say we could have went to it sooner, but we went to it late' is not even a coherent thought in the English language. i hate how he always says 'you' in the 2nd person while philosophizing, and always says 'we' when admitting the pistons did something wrong. this is how flip always speaks, and it avoids directly blaming himself for anything. i'd respect him a lot more of he manned up and took some responsibility for his mistakes, or just *once* say 'this game was my fault as a coach'. of course, just like being scared and overplaying the starters, he is scared to blame himself when he knows his job isn't secure.
I really wanted only about 45-47 wins, and the bench playing signifigant minutes. This type of game plan would insure a good team for the playoffs. Our current path will net us 51-53 wins and a first round good-bye. The starters will be ready for their summer break by then.......
The starters would be ready for their summer break by the All-Star game at this rate. Wouldn't you love to read the below headline in this thread today?
Joe says Enough is Enough! Flip Saunders is fired and replaced by Piston Bad Boy Bill Laimbeer. Makes my heart skip a beat just thinking about it. There is no doubt in my mind that Laims could get this talented team on the right path before seasons end.
I heard the game on my new Sirius Radio. This 07-08 team has some serious growing pains to get through. 20 and 10 would be nice for the first 30.
I'm not correcting you on anything. I am just expressing my opinion.
Does nobody else here feel like Portland played a really good game? Aldridge was unreal against Sheed. Roy was draining the life out of us with those jumpers. Jack had another great game (3 out of his last 4 have been huge). Plus, they WERE playing good defense. When a team that we don't respect plays this well, we get in trouble.
Face the facts, Flip relies on 6 guys to get the job done and other teams rely on 9-10 guys. If they are already showing signs of exhaustion at the end of the third quarter, just think what condition they will be in come May??? I think Sheed was trying to reserve his energy because he was in there for the long haul and when it came down to it, he didn't challenge those Aldridge shots like he could in the first qtr
Tricky? I liked Mr. Sneaky better. I agree though. We know what we are getting with Flip...AJ had a sprained ankle which apparently has healed but if one of the starters like McDyess gets hurt he just plays right through it making it worse.
Here is an unusual stat: Chauncey played significant minutes, had a nice game, and didn't attempt a 3-pointer. I noticed that he passed on a lot of the threes in transition that he would normally take.
Lee, you keep doing whatever you need to keep your impressions fresh. I support you in this endeavor.
Whoa....you'd think I had changed by username like 6 times reading this thread....
He doesn't have it. That ingredient that enables a coach to recognize chemistry. Remember the synergy that Arroyo and McDyess had? Flip never would have recognized that.
In all sincerity, eventually Rip or Tay is going to have to get out of the starting lineup. No way on earth should we ever have any player shoot 5-20!!! We are too deep, versatile and talented to allow that to happen. You guys watch players- I watch plays. The ball rarely gets swung to the weakside on a possession, and too many times in a game there is too much one on one play. This is all coaching. There is not one single coach in the history of hoops that can stop these tendencies that hoopers naturally have, but I'll be darn if a coach has to accept that. Because this team no longer shares the ball and makes the extra pass, players games' are getting marginalized. Dyess & Tay's game are suffering because CB & Rip keep trying to prove they are the best backcourt in the NBA. We are unstoppable when Tay is on, we are a legit contender when he's at his best. When CB and Rip are at their best we are beatable and not champions. To be a champion we cannot afford for Tay's game to get froze out by Fake-A$z Batman and Robin. PS I don't know if anybody else has noticed but Dyess has begun to find his groove and rhythm, yet we can only seem to get this guy 6-7 shots???? Rip needs to accept a Ginobli, Terry, Barbosa, 6th man role.
Yeah, one thing I avoid is rewatching the previous game during commercials, or reviewing the current game during commercials. It gets too confusing that way. Instead, I watch another team, or maybe a movie if none of the other teams I follow are playing. (Toronto, Orlando, and Memphis.)
Maybe Dyess in the starting lineup isn't working? No wonder he wants to come off the bench...the starting lineup doesn't feed the hot hand.
This team is not playing the right way.
Just think how low we'd be if we were Bulls fans.
Separate names with a comma.

Lecture in Trial Advocacy February 22
Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that David Scheffer, a former U.S. Ambassador at Large for War Crimes Issues, will deliver the 23rd annual I. Goodman Cohen Lecture in Trial Advocacy on Thursday, February 22, 2007.
Professor Scheffer's lecture, "Litigation Strategies at the International Criminal Tribunals" will begin at 4 p.m. in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at the Wayne State University Law School, 471 W. Palmer St., Detroit. The lecture will be followed by a reception.
Professor Scheffer is the Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw/Robert A. Helman Professor of Law and the Director of the Center for International Human Rights at Northwestern University School of Law. He teaches International Human Rights Law and International Criminal Law. He was previously the U.S. Ambassador at Large for War Crimes Issues (1997-2001) and led the U.S. delegation in U.N. talks establishing the International Criminal Court.
During his ambassadorship, Scheffer negotiated and coordinated U.S. support for the establishment and operation of international and hybrid criminal tribunals and U.S. responses to atrocities. He also headed the Atrocities Prevention Inter-Agency Working Group. During the first term of the Clinton Administration, Scheffer served as senior adviser and counsel to the U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Dr. Madeleine Albright, and served from 1993 through 1996 on the Deputies Committee of the National Security Council.
Scheffer recently held visiting professorships at Northwestern Law, Georgetown University Law Center, and George Washington University Law School and taught earlier at Duke University School of Law and the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs. He has published extensively on international legal and political issues and appears regularly in the national and international media. He is a CNN Legal Analyst.
The I. Goodman Cohen Lecture in Trial Advocacy was established through the generosity of the family of the late I. Goodman Cohen, a prominent trial attorney who was active in the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association. Each year, a leading jurist is invited to the Law School to deliver a public lecture on an aspect of trial advocacy.
