Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by dba, Oct 28, 2009.
I saw some blurb on the power rankings page that mentioned that there have now been 4 players this year to post their first career 30 point game against the Knicks this year. Delfino Kevin Love Tyler Hansborough Blake Griffin So, Delfino is the only non big man to break out against them. Probably no coincidence since Melo is there now.
The Knicks have changed in other ways too. The Knicks have stopped running, stopped winning | ProBasketballTalk Not sure why this should surprise anyone since Billups has never pushed the ball on two straight possessions in his life. He'll drop threes on you and break your heart, but he will not hurry the ball upcourt.
The Nuggs had the 3rd fasted pace in the league with Billups running the show.
New-look Nuggets aren't missing Melo - 03-22-2011 Nuggs are 13-1 against the spread since trading Melo! They are holding opponents to more than 10 fewer points per game since the trade. Meanwhile, the Bulls are 31-4 at home this season and are in serious contention to get home court throughout. Nuggs vs Bulls would be a great end to this NBA season IMO.
For the Bulls, definitely. Suns/Lakers 3 overtime game was pretty entertaining tonight. Can't exactly call the overtimes an exhibition of great basketball execution, but there was big play after big play made. Some clutch moments by Channing Frye, Steve Nash (best pass of the season), Lamar Odom, and Ron Artest. Kobe wasn't great down the stretch, but his teammates were good enough to carry the Lakers towards the victory. Really went downhill for Phoenix went Grant Hill got injured. Vince Carter . He may literally be the softest player in the league. Steve Nash deserves to finish his career with a chance to win. I hope he goes elsewhere in the offseason.
In Denver he was further from the center of the earth and a little lighter so he wasn't actually running any faster, just covering more ground with each step. And they had Lawson scooting all other the place to make up the difference.
In the last 10 games (the only split available since the trade) the Bulls are #1 and the Nuggs are #2 in efficiency differential. Let's put the Nuggets improvement into numbers to appreciate what a different team they are since the trade. Before Trade: Offense (per 100): 110.1 (#1 in the league) Defense (per 100): 107.8 (bottom 10) Scoring margin: +2.4 Rebound rate: 50.4% After Trade: Offense (per 100): 110.5 (#1 in the league) Defense (per 100): 97.8 (#1 in the league) Scoring margin: +12.3 (#1 in the league) Rebound rate: 54.2% (#1 in the leauge) Maybe they can't sustain it, but they've been the best team in the NBA over the past 14 games with injuries to Afflalo, Gallanari, and Felton. 14 games is bordering on statistically significant. Their strength of schedule over these 14 has been above average with an opponent win% of about .555.
Delfino with another 30 point outburst. 5-9 from deep.
Remind me...did we trade him away, release him or refuse to re-sign him because he didn't fit in Flips plans??
I believe that we got Toronto's pick in the 2009 draft, which turned out to be Jonas Jerebko. I'm not sure what happened to the 2nd round pick that we got in 2010... because I don't think that we used it. It must have been included as sweetener in some transaction.
We traded him away because he didn't trust Arnie Kandor or Mike Abdenour. The Mustache gang wasn't good enough for Carlos; he took his bum knee and had secret surgery, sealing his fate with Detroit.
Griffin had a triple double (33 pts, 17 rebs, 10 ass) in the Clippers win over the Wizards.
We have the Delfino 2nd round pick to use this year. It must have been a conditional pick. Right now, it's the 5th pick in the 2nd round (#35 overall), so it could land a decent player. So, the Pistons will end up with Jerebko plus say Darius Morris for Delfino. I'll take it.
If only we had waited 5 years for Delfino to become great on a losing team.
He has certainly been great for his last 3 games. Throw out those 3 games, he has not done anything the entire season.
Just what we need is another 2/3 that looks great for a few games here and there... not like we have a team full of them already He didn't want to be here, fought the team over his knee injury... and If I remember right he asked to be traded? I still say the only player in the last 10 years we have traded away that I wish we still had on the team is AA. I thought he was a great glue guy and great on the defensive end, but I never thought he would be as good on the offensive end as he's become. Have to wonder if Joe knew what he had would he have kept AA and not signed BenG.
Agreed here.......
Have you guys seen these: Block of the Night - Yahoo! Sports Video: JaVale McGee made the block of the year - Ball Don't Lie - NBA Blog - Yahoo! Sports I really wanna see this guy in a Pistons uniform. I would love to see what happens when you put him at center and slide Monroe to PF.
...B-Griff will likely dunk that one next time. ...Wes Matthews should have faked an injury after that play. McGee would be fun to watch in Pistons gear. ...He's kind of a knucklehead though.

The BlackBerry PlayBook is a superb piece of hardware with its great screen, powerful speakers, smart design, and feature packed innards. And were the software up to scratch it could easily be one of our top choice tablets. However, even though we know updates are imminent, as it stands this tablet lacks app support, is too unstable, has variable performance, and is too reliant on being paired to a BlackBerry phone. Check back in a couple of months, though, and we could well have a winner on our hands.
Interesting review, I think the Playbook offers a different approach than that set out by the market leading Ipad.
I feel the playbook is horses for courses, it offers full flash support and allows the user to capitalise on the rich web experience offered without a dedicated app. Possibly being a blackberry user, I have a dislike for the clutter of many apps.
It's great to see a viable option instead of the ipad, since not all of us wish to be confined to the garden of propriety (and undenyable ingenuity) offered by the Cuppertino outfit!
It does interest me on the general attitude of the technology advance TR readers, are apps or a full web experience favoured??
full web totally! Barely use the Facebook or YouTube apps on my Streak and prefer using the full website... or would do if Facebook hadn't recently broken their website in a recent update!
How is this less proprietary than Apple? Because it has Flash? Well Flash is proprietary last time I checked...
As for the web vs apps, the web will never match the flexibility of apps, for example it's just not possible to create something like Garageband for the Web or heavy 3D games like Infinity Blade.
Even doing something simple like having different presenter and projector displays for a slideshow is impossible for web apps, as they don't control that part of the hardware.
As for clutter, if you have many web apps you also get the clutter of bookmarks. Don't see how that's any different.
Seriously - the 32GB costs £122 more than the 16GB?
When 16GB of flash memory has an end-user price < £16?
Tablet pricing continues to represent very poor value for the consumer and a license to print money for the manufacturers.
Given, though, the wafer-thin margins on commodity PCs (which nevertheless are seeing declining sales), maybe we should view tablet purchases as charitable donations to struggling manufacturers.
Wonder whether HMRC will allow us to claim Gift Aid?
Why has TR given this a 6, when applying an equal weighting of the scoring components would make it an average 7 at least?
In any case, the Playbook is magnificent. I can tether my blackberry with it and get on the go internet access with full 3G anywhere in the world which is something the ipad cant do as the ipad needs its own data plan which isnt cheap. I can drag and drop files effortlessly which you cant do with the ipdad. I can link it to my pioneer kuro and watch movies in HD straight out of the box - but with an ipad I need the expensive hdmi connector. I can watch TR video reviews and BBC news on the PLaybook but alas I cant on an ipad. I can play music from the playbook speakers with no distortion in stereo unlike the ipad. I am not too hung up about apps - I only have around 40 on my iphone and a lot of them crash especially when there is an OS update.A full web experience is better than an app - try using facebook,ebay,amazon,british airways, hilton hotels and compare the 2 platforms! Not bothered about games on the tablet - I have an XBOX 360 for that and playing games on my tablet on a business class flight just isnt the done thing. SO overall, based on screen size, build quality, screen quality, true multitasking, sound quality, video replay, tethering and syncing with my blackberry this is just magnificent. One last point, you can get a free blackberry with 1GB data usage for as little as £12 a month. This is a compelling reason in itself for a playbook especially when compared to the cost of an iphone.
I think the playbook is actually a very forward looking device. Especially in a corporate environment to be an alternative to a typical IP Telephone. Lets hope the dock supports PoE (power over ethernet).
@Nav Garyal
What are you talking about? Of course you can tether an Wifi iPad to any mobile which supports wifi hotspot mode, like the iPhone 4 or many Androids.
There's an fantastic app for BBC News too, yes it shows all the videos there. It's really good on the iPad and miles better than the website.
Also I completely disagree with the web being better for Facebook, Ebay and Amazon. They all work much better via apps, it's quite clear you've never tried them.
I'm sorry you can't play games when flying business class, I certainly can, not sure what's your problem. Do you just pretend to be working the entire flight? Nothing like a complimentary glass of champagne while playing World of Goo.
As for the £12 tariff, AFAIK that's a 24 month contract on Virgin with 50 minutes of calls and no BIS service (so you can't even have push email) and includes the Curve 8520, a 2 year old phone. Great deal that is LOL
I'd rather not have to be tied into a Blackberry to get proper use out of a Playbook. Major fail there.
Will Tr be updating this review as and when software updates to improve performance are released and tested? Or do you need to return this back to BlackBerry?
@GK, you have to PAY to use iphone tethering which you dont have to do with the blackberry.
Kindly, show me how you can use amazon seller on the amazon app or set up facebook groups on the iphone app?
I find it amusing how apple fan boys take huge offence to any criticism of apple devices and belittle the competition.
And for your information, I was given a free ipad 1 by a client and passed it on as it wasn't fit for my purpose.
Enjoy your ipad and I will enjoy my playbook.
@Nav Garyal
I echo GK.pm's comments. You'll pay for your roaming data whatever you tether it too. As for your pretence about Business Class, what a load of nonsense. People in business are just lucky they have companies that still have that policy or individuals with too many miles (like me) or a lot of money (not me)
Apps are clearly better that the web-site particularly in the cases you cite of Facebook, Ebay and in particular BA. They offer functionality you cannot get via a web browser.
The Playbook is flawed in concept. I wish RIM well in trying to make a success of it but I doubt they will.
It look's so crap so for that reason alone I won't be buying it.
HP TouchPad is the tablet to wait for! looks like the best option so far!
p.s DevTeam - you need an option to go back to the review while editing, currently you have to click on review>review or homepage and then to the review.
@Nav: I find it amusing how apple fan boys take huge offence to any criticism of apple devices and belittle the competition.
I don't beleive @Gk.pm was belittling anything, he was correcting you.
Also your comments seem odd, you make out your some sort of high flyer, and then complain about a £28 hdmi cable. Also seems odd you talking about App's crashing on the iPhone (a device somebody gave you was it?), from what I can gather the Playbook is a bit of a crash monster. So as Dell Boy would say, "Can you smell that?.."
@ Gk.PM
The BBC app on the ipad is better than the website? On the iPad maybe, because it's so limited with regards to video etc. If I am reading an interview or article and there is flash, I don;t want to have to leave the page to go and watch it in an app. That's a nonsensical statement, it really is.
Anyone who has used an ipad at length will agree that the web experience is limited, it doesn't matter how many apps you have in that regard.
How is the eBay app better? I run a business through eBay and you want me to use the listing tool that they have? The listings posted with eBay Mobile stand out a mile because they look terrible and amateurish. Be serious.
Apps are great, but they came about due to the limitations of the browser in a mobile device. They have moved on since then, but they are still inferior to the desktop experience for most users and most working scenarios.
I own two Macs, my business sells them, I've had every iphone, ipad and Apple device released since about 2004, so I do like their products. Your argument makes no sense to me.
I also have a Playbook, and as a huge webOS fan, I actually think it's the best tablet on the market. I don't use it for apps, I use it instead of a laptop to help run my business, and then in the evenings to read and surf the net. I could only do one of those two with an ipad. (Or even the iphone to be honest, as you still can't even flag a mail for follow up.)
And both of you, stop spouting rubbish about flying business class, it's silly and vulgar. My guess is that if either of you are even telling the truth, which I doubt as your comments and fanboyism make you sound too young, then neither of you are actually footing the bill for the flights.
>> Apps are great, but they came about due to the limitations of the browser
I'd have to disagree with that statement.
You could already create websites optimized for the iPhone, Apps gave you more than just a website, like offline editing, or even barcode scanner built (eg like the eBay App), instant alerts (no need to refresh pages), upload photos directly from phone. So I'd say the eBay App is far better than the website version. Also what you on about with eBay Mobile, the normal eBay even works on my iPhone so I assume the iPad should be fine.
btw. If you use eBay for selling a lot, are you doing this all via the website. Yuck!!, there are third party "APP"lication's that do this better, eg. Turbolister.
As it's been pointed out a well made app can do so much more than a website. If the Ebay Seller app is not up to your needs, I'm sure someone else will come along and create one using Ebay's APIs, or why not write one yourself and make some money?
Can't flag messages for follow up? Why not have a follow up mailbox, and just move the messages there? That's what I do. Maybe you just need to adapt a little?
I also don't get your problem with Business class, it's only vulgar to those who don't use it and the only silly thing were Nav's comments that you can't play games on it. I do a lot of long distance flying and am happy to top up the allowance my company gives me, be it with money or miles to make sure I get it.
On long flights it's a big difference, last time I got a whole 8 hours of work done in-flight thanks to in-seat power and general comfort. Paid for itself right there and I still arrived fresh as a lettuce. Plus you get lounge access, which is great when you have a 5 hours hold in Dubai for example, it's no fun waiting around in that airport, it's almost impossible to find a seat anywhere else.
As I only own one mac, and don't buy everything Apple released since 2004 maybe I can use all that saved money to making my travel more comfortable - hopefully without offending your sensibility?
Why would I go to the trouble of having a separate mailbox for flagged mail when I could just flag it? You solution is a workaround for a feature that should be present but isn't. I get about 500 mails a day, I being able to flag one in a few seconds and move on is much simpler.
I also fly business class, but I don't feel the need to mention it when I'm posting online. I also drive an expensive car, but that's totally irrelevant and no-one's business but mine, as I have worked hard for it.
Each to their own, but I've seen a lot of Apple apologists appear since the iphone arrived, and you sound just like one.
Well because unlike flags mailboxes are actually a standard in Internet mail, so while I can swap over to just about any e-mail service you'll have to find one that caters to your flags.
On your second point you seem to have enjoyed - as it was unnecessary to support your argument - posting about your Apple purchases and expensive car so far. Is it just business class you don't like to mention? I, on the other hand, was just commenting on Nav's own bizarre assumption that one couldn't play games when flying that.
On your third point I find it funny how people's defence to technical arguments these days is to go and label the other as a *boi as if that somehow makes their own argument superior. It's a very convenient, I have to admit.
But you're completely wrong in the timing, I was using Macs since OS 9 (which I hated compared to Linux), only started liking them with OSX 10.1. As you seem to know that's still well before the iPhone.
ps: Oh, don't bother stating you have an expensive house in the next reply, by the way this was going I can already sense you do.
Did you not think to look for an alternative Email Client if Apple's built in one is not good enough? eg. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/emailganizer-pro-intelligent/id405732706?mt=8
ps: It was @Nav Garayal not @GK who started the fly business class debate, just in case you missed that bit.
Its a worrying for humanity how people acquire material items in a futile attempt to make themselves feel better about themselves.This is the problem with apple fan boys. Because apple products look good, then any criticism is taken as criticism of the fanboy and explains their wild and irrational reactions.Can I suggest yoga as a great way to counter this state of mind. Now, my first experience of apple products was the early 80s when my father used to bring his Mac home during the holidays and i loved spending hours on macpaint and macdraw. For nostalgia, I have every right to be a fan boy.However, I also recognise the weaknesses in their products and have every right to comment accordingly. I own an iphone, used an ipad1 but ultimately ended up with a playbook and i love it. end of. to claim that apps are superior to a web experience overall is nonsense. And yes, I use business class and maintain that a fellow passenger holding their ipad like a steering wheel looks quite daft. deal with it and move on.
I do find some of these cultural norms a bit odd. Playing Angry Birds (or whatever) on an iPad is perfectly acceptable behaviour in economy class and in first class, but not in between the two in business class. Weird.
In any event what the review made quite clear to me - and what the comments above have made even clearer - is that the Playbook is actually trying to appeal to an entirely different market from the iPad rather than going head-to-head with it, and that it seems to be making a decent job of it. Which would mean the sort of factors that've led tech sites to mark it down may not matter so much to its sales. It strikes me that that's a very sensible strategy. The tablet market will be all the better for having different tablets trying to appeal to different sections of the market, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
@Nav Garayal: Its a worrying for humanity how people acquire material items in a futile attempt to make themselves feel better about themselves.
And yet it was you who started that trend -> playing games on my tablet on a business class flight just isnt the done thing. Oh really, wot wot.
@Nav Garayal: To claim that apps are superior to a web experience overall is nonsense.
Now your just making a fool of yourself. Claiming that HTML/Javascript/CSS gives a superior user experience to an APP that has more direct access to the device's hardware is just plain stupid. And this doesn't just go for iOS, Android is the same, even PC's Application's give better user experience, eg. Ebay/Turbolister.
Maybe your not tech savvy for App's, and moving away from websites takes you out of your comfort zone.
All that talk about material items and then you have an iPhone, Blackberry and Playbook? I'm confused now, is it you who is looking to feel good about yourself?
I already do Yoga - but thanks for the suggestion - mainly because I have to spend so much of my time with people like you. I have to say I already look forward to this week's class.
I'm all for people having the devices they like, so wish you all the best with your Playbook.
You also have every right to comment on whatever you want just as others have a right to comment when you're essentially spouting off lies (like tethering) or stating personal opinions as universal truth such as saying the web is a better experience than apps.
By the way have you found a good web replacement for that MacPaint? That's 27 years old, should be easy right?
@GK- yoga is a daily activity not weekly.and it clearly has not been beneficial for you based on your shoot from the hip comments. i urge you to do it everyday - preferably first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Secondly, read my comments again - you can tether for free with a blackberry and playbook but if you have an iphone linked to an ipad there is a charge for tethering - is this a lie? NO.
furthermore, i stated that BA, Hilton, Facebook and Amazon apps are limited and the web experience is better. Is this untrue? NO because you cannot book flights/hotel/change flights/set up facebook groups/sell items on the app but CAN through the web experience.
@Keithe6e - you dont need to be tech savvy to see the limitations of apps. and yes I am a high flyer as I do around 40 flights a year. I have a blackberry from my employer for call quality/email. I have a personal phone with music player (in this case iphone) and I was given the playbook as a gift and love it for the reasons given in my original comment.
@Nav Nav Garayal: You do know that a web browser is in fact an App, because designers of App's don't implement a feature has nothing to do with the difference between App's & Websites, and like I pointed out a few times already App's can often give you more features, like been able to upload directly from built in camera say to facebook, push notifications etc. Remember designers of an App can make them as feature rich as they choose, IOW: compared to Websites there are no limitations apart from what the App designer implements. So -> "A full web experience is better than an app," is totally incorrect. So if BA/Ebay etc are missing features, blame the developer, not the technology. Oh, re-read @GK comments again on tethering, I think the bit about Wi-Fi you missed, technically he shouldn't be calling it tethering though so I suppose that's were some confusion has come in.

Unless you're a professional photographer, you'll find something valuable in this book. The author effectively goes through everything you need to know to be an effective digital photographer. From picking out the right camera for you to how to actually use it, I found this to be a thorough guide to all typical consumer digital photography needs. Beginning photographers will appreciate the information on what to look for in a good digital camera as well as the composition tips. More advanced photographers will go for the section on setting the white balance and auto bracketing. Personally, I was really interested in the author's discussion on infrared photography. I used to take pictures on Kodak infrared B&W film years and years ago and didn't even realize you could do the same thing with a digital camera. I found the last third of the book to be particularly fascinating. In this section, the author talks about organizing your photos and basics of working with many of the leading photo editing programs. The end of the book shows all the photos that were used in the book and shows exposure information as well as the camera make and model used to capture it. I consider myself to be a pretty experienced digital photographer, yet I found many things in this book that I can immediately begin using to improve my digital pictures. Whether you're trying to figure out how to begin with digital photography or you're just looking to improve your skills, this is a recommended book.

I picked up The Digital Photography Companion because last time I was taught or read up on anything other than fully-auto point and shoot photography was umpteen years ago, literally. I've never really ventured outside of the comfort zone of that magic P setting, and I thought this book would be a nice refresher. We're firm believers in the quality of O'Reilly books in our house, so the fact that it was an O'Reilly title was encouraging. I'm unlikely to end up as photogeeky as some people, but I thought it about time to quit flailing around in the dark, as I did when I proof-read a discussion of the math behind f-stops for a friend. I'm still flailing.This book would be fine for someone who is just getting into digital photography, and is unlikely to do anything but full-auto, or go into the other mostly-automatic modes of digital cameras. If you want to know what an f-stop is, what the focal length is, or how the various non-auto-mode settings inter-relate, you're out of luck. I understand that The Digital Photography Companion is intended for the beginner, but in my opinion Mr. Story has over-simplified. A short definition, a sentence or two, of the various "geeky bits" shouldn't scare someone away. As it is, I can see the beginner coming away even more confused because of the lack of a little bit of technical detail.Some examples:* "Focal length" is never mentioned, even in the section explaining what the numbers describing a lens mean.* In another section, the impression is given that aperture and f-stop are not just related, but identical.* Although automatic exposure bracketing is mentioned in terms of automatic features, bracketing is never suggested for the novice stepping out of fully-automatic mode(s).* The author encourages the novice to try manual mode on their DSLR, but then gives almost no suggestions of where to start - there is a chart in the appendix of suggested aperture and shutter speed settings for "sunset and astrophotorgraphy" shooting, but not everyday situations. Similarly, there is a chart of exposure compensation settings for various lighting conditions, but only in terms of a camera's plus-minus preset scale, not in terms of what to do on a DSLR.Give The Digital Photography Companion to Granny or your 12-year-old, recommend it for a friend who just wants to take better snapshots, but take the back-cover (and ora.com blurbs) with a hefty grain of salt.
An invaluable primer for the beginner and a comprehensive reference resource for more advanced photographers.

The Digital Photography Companion is sub-titled "Practical photography advice you can take anywhere", and indeed the slim soft-covered volume is small enough to pack into your camera case. Even experienced photographers sometimes need to look up things, and this book has a wealth of information in five logically organized chapters and a useful appendix.The book begins with the basics. Chapter One is written for those just starting into digital photography. It describes the features of compact cameras and Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras and the pros and cons of each. The second chapter explains hands-on techniques, literally from A to Z (Aperture Value to Zoom). Chapter Three gets into the creative and artistic side of photography, with specific advice for the types of pictures most of us shoot. The next chapter on working in the digital darkroom covers photo editing and management software, such as Apple iPhoto, Adobe Photoshop and Elements, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, and Apple Aperture. And finally, there's a chapter on printing.The book is written in an informal, sometimes even chatty, style. For instance, in noting that some cameras allow shooting in both RAW and JPEG at the same time, the author adds, "this approach consumes memory cards faster than Doritos at a Super Bowl party." There is also some advice you may not have thought of, such as using a hotel shower cap to protect your camera on rainy days, or using your cell phone camera to record signs, menus, and other data for future reference The organization of the material makes it easy to find what you want. The table of contents is quite detailed and the index, even more so. The text is supplemented by an abundance of photos (mostly by the author), tables, screen shots, and boxes containing tips, warnings, and reminders. The appendix has almost a dozen tables of reference material on camera settings and modes, the storage capacity of memory cards, and recommended exposures for sunsets, lunar eclipses, and the like.Derrick Story is described on the back cover as O'Reilly's digital media evangelist, and he is the author or co-author of at least three books on digital photography. The Digital Photography Companion is an invaluable primer for the beginner and a comprehensive reference resource for more advanced photographers.
Fine primer on digital photography
By John Suda
The "Basic Photography Companion" concept has become nearly its own genre in the photography book business. For the most part, it results in "formula" books covering the same basic ideas _ how to buy introductory camera gear, how to use the gear, and how to produce decent- looking photos for oneself, family, and friends. It is a popular genre and there is nothing wrong with a formula approach, especially if it is made fresh by updated content, quality production values, and capable exposition. Out of all the "companions" I've owned or read over the decades the ones written by Derrick Story and published by O'Reilly Media, rank among the best. Mr. Story's latest is "The Digital Photography Companion" (2008), a slender book of 214 pages. Story is O'Reilly's digital media expert and has authored a number of basic digital photography guides over the years, as well as other books in his area of expertise. With the rapidly developing technology in the photography world involving digital cameras, lenses, storage media, software editing and management programs, and Internet and wireless distribution methods, there is a niche and a need for a good genre-formula companion manual. A typical companion manual is a book small enough to fit easily into a camera bag and which provides guidance on camera and lens settings, filters, flash, and other technical hardware matters while also providing information and tips on standard photography concepts like depth of field, shutter speeds, exposures, and the like. The better ones also contain the reference material most desired by working photographers, like charts for exposure; color temperatures; flash, metering, and camera modes; and memory card capabilities. The Digital Photography Companion makes order of the complexities of photography equipment purchasing and use while providing a goodly amount of practical tips for taking photos. Mr. Story has an easy-going casual writing style. He makes learning about digital hardware and software and photography concepts and techniques seem easy. The book is nicely produced and laden with full color illustrative comparison images, useful tables, charts, and color-coded sidebars of Tips, Definitions, Warnings, and Reminders. There are screenshots of software settings for digital editing and management applications like iPhoto, Photoshop Elements, Adobe's Light Room, and Apple's high-end program, Aperture, and others. The picture-making material is for beginners; there is discussion of basic photo techniques for a large variety of situations most commonly experienced by beginners--especially persistent learners _ landscapes, weddings, kids, action, self-portraits, and astrophotography scenes. The goal is to help new photographers learn to make their pictures unique and interesting for even non-family and friends. There are five chapters covering computer and photography terms, hands-on techniques and camera use items, picture making tips and ideas, viewing and managing results, and printing methods. Chapters 1 and 2 are organized by basic photography and technical concepts sorted in alphabetical order for quick reference, as necessary. Chapter 3 provides basic picture-taking tips. An appendix contains the Quick Reference Guide mentioned already for camera settings , together with a chart of metadata for all the illustrative photos contained in the book, including for each photo: camera model used, focal length, shutter speed, and location. The digital revolution in the photography world makes the materials in chapters 4 and 5 especially useful, discussing the new digital distribution and software processing methods _ e-mail, conversion to movies, dealing with RAW files, making slide shows, etc. _ and the printing options _ direct from camera, online printers, and dedicated photo printers.
Digital Photography Companion

Digital cameras are great, but they won't do your thinking for you. To get beyond simple point-and-shoot, some knowledge is necessary. This new book by Derrick Story has just the right depth of information for the typical amateur. If you haven't yet bought a camera, the opening chapter has some good advice on camera selection. Among others features, face detection and image stabilization are mentioned as the hot new features to look for. The book can be read in two evenings. Mastering the techniques presented will take a good deal longer, as you gain experience with your camera. You get pointers on how to shoot portraits, landscapes, wedding pictures, architecture, panoramas, and even infrared images and video. There is a good overview of photo management software programs, including the widely-used Photoshop elements and Apple iPhoto. There are numerous tables throughout the book, which provide recommendations on camera settings, file formats, memory card capacities, and other useful information.The last chapter is devoted to printing and distributing your pictures by email or web, with recommendations on choosing a printer. The book contains five chapters in 230 pages, with an appendix and index. It is designed to be a handy reference, and is small enough to fit nicely into a camera bag.
Digital Photography Techniques Made Easy
By Dale Farris
This super book is an excellent introduction to the world of digital photography, and will appeal to readers who have had some experience with their digital camera and are ready to embark on more sophisticated uses of their hardware. The book is succinct in its approach and the author makes sure to not overload the reader with extensive, detailed material. Instead, the focus is on the most common, most likely questions asked by digital photographers, especially amateurs who use their digital camera as a hobby or for fun. This title also nicely serves as an introductory companion to Ken Milburn's Digital Photography: Expert Techniques, also available from O'Reilly.

text: New article entitled 'Skaters Use World Stage to Gain Confidence on Their Path to the Olympics'. It reads:- So, in percentage terms, to what extent does winning a medal at the last world championships before an Olympic games boost a skaters chances of winning an Olympic medal? From what Sarah Hughes is saying in the article, it evidently mattered a lot in terms of recognition as a contender, and in terms of her confidence. However, with others it seemed to have not mattered at all. For example, prior to winning a Silver medal at the 1992 Olympics, Paul Wylie had never finished any higher than 9th at a World Championships.

Yes, it can be done, but not usually with a thin cover garment in hot weather.
The problem with the G17 (and other full-size service-style autoloaders) is the length of the grip. If holstered pointing straight down, the grip pokes rearward, printing against the cover garment. Making sure your holster is set-up to angle the weapon muzzle-to-the-rear (forward cant) will effectively "shorten" the grip, minimizing any printing at the rear, with the trade-off of a different grip angle that has to be managed during the draw. Picture the butt end of the grip being directly over the muzzle-end of the barrel when the weapon is holstered; this is ideal for concealment, but less than optimal for the draw stroke, and takes some getting used to.
You'll also need a holster that sucks that big double-column-magazine-holding grip frame in tight against your body.
I live in a cooler part of the country, so my cover garments can be thicker or layered without looking too out-of-place for 8-9 months of the year. During mid-summer, though, the G17 is a tough choice for concealment.

Malloc Debugging with Electric Fence
[ Jim Long of ARSC contributed this article. ]
This article looks at a method of debugging memory problems with malloc-ed memory using a library called "Electric Fence", available free from: http://perens.com/FreeSoftwareFrom the README for Electric Fence:
Electric Fence is a different kind of malloc() debugger. It uses the virtual memory hardware of your system to detect when software overruns the boundaries of a malloc() buffer. It will also detect any accesses of memory that have been released by free(). Because it uses the VM hardware for detection, Electric Fence stops your program on the first instruction that causes a bounds violation. It's then trivial to use a debugger to display the offending statement.
This version will run on:
- Linux kernel version 1.1.83 and above. Earlier kernels have problems with the memory protection implementation.
All System V Revision 4 platforms (and possibly earlier revisions) including:
- Every 386 System V I've heard of.
- Solaris 2.x
- SGI IRIX 5.0 (but not 4.x)
- IBM AIX on the RS/6000.
- SunOS 4.X (using an ANSI C compiler and probably static linking).
- HP/UX 9.01, and possibly earlier versions.
- OSF 1.3 (and possibly earlier versions) on a DECalpha.
On icehawk, ARSC's IBM SP system (RS/6000), libefence.a compiled successfully with both gcc version 2.95.2, and IBM's xlc version 5. For gcc, the only change to the Makefile is CC=gcc, and for xlc, CC=xlc in addition to uncommenting additional CFLAGS that also must be used when compiling your code.
Let's look at a simple sample of how it works (this assumes the user, "username," has stored libefence.a to his or her /u1/uaf/username/lib directory):
/* e.c - to test Electric Fence */ #include <stdio.h> int main() { int i; int * ptr = (int *) malloc(10*sizeof(int)); for(i=0; i<11; i++) ptr[i] = 2*i; } icehawk1:> gcc -g e.c -L/u1/uaf/username/lib -lefence icehawk1:> ./a.out Electric Fence 2.0.5 Copyright (C) 1987-1995 Bruce Perens. Segmentation fault icehawk1:>
Electric Fence put a "fence" of inaccessible memory right after the memory allocated by malloc, resulting in a core dump when ptr[10] tried to access the memory. Invoking dbx on the core file reveals the offending statement and value of i:
icehawk1:> dbx a.out core Type 'help' for help. warning: The core file is truncated. You may need to increase the ulimit for file and coredump, or free some space on the filesystem. reading symbolic information ...internal error: unexpected value 120 at line 400 5 in file stabstring.c [using memory image in core] Segmentation fault in main at line 9 in file "e.c" 9 ptr[i] = 2*i; (dbx) print i 10 (dbx)
Important environment variables available with Electric Fence:
- The default behavior of Electric Fence is to only place the inaccessible page after the allocated memory. To instead place the inaccessible page before the allocated memory, set the environment variable EF_PROTECT_BELOW to 1.
- If you suspect that freed memory is being accessed, set EF_PROTECT_FREE to 1. This prevents Electric Fence from returning freed memory to the system so that you can get a segmentation fault if some statement tries to access that memory.
- Electric Fence normally traps calls to malloc with size zero. To allow malloc calls of size 0, set EF_ALLOW_MALLOC_0 .
- EF_ALIGNMENT is used to set word alignment, see the man page for details.
A few caveats when using Electric Fence. It can create huge core dumps, so it may be better to run your code in the debugger without a core file. Electric Fence can also consume a large amount of memory for big dynamic structures, so you may have to add additional swap space. All in all, though, Electric Fence is a great free tool for those occasional nasty debugs.
"llmap": Handy IBM SP Loadleveler Utility
Jeff McAllister of ARSC has written a perl script, called "llmap," to display loadleveler work on the IBM SP. This is similar to "grmap" for the Cray T3E. "llmap" is available in /usr/local/bin.
Here's sample output (names have been changed, of course) from a run on icehawk. It's pretty self-explanatory:

If you've submitted a loadlever job, you might run llmap to see if it has started, how much memory it's using, etc. If it hasn't started, llmap might give you clues why, but this can be tricky. To start a big, high-priority job, loadleveler might be in the process of draining the nodes. The appearance of idle nodes doesn't necessarily mean that your is just about to start. (As a reminder, specifying the time and minimum number of nodes your job will need can help your job start sooner under loadleveler's backfill algorithm.)
Please send feedback on llmap.
Any additional features you need or want?

Irregular "Schedule" of this Newsletter
This, "Bi-Weekly on Fridays" newsletter has been a bit irregular lately.
We hope this isn't too troublesome to you!
Travel by the editors is often, this week for instance, the cause (we attend CUG, SPSCICOMP, SC, DoD User Group meetings, etc., and even take vacations.)
Sometimes, we confess... we just miss the "deadline." Articles submitted by readers are a big help, and you're ALWAYS invited to share your work, knowledge, discoveries, and, of course, tips.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Am I going nuts? [[ [[ $ ls -d DATA [[ DATA [[ $ ls DATA [[ D2001 index.txt [[ $ cd DATA [[ sh-56 ksh: DATA: not found. [[ [[ Why is it doing this to me? # # Thanks to Richard Griswold: # Something similar to this happens to me when I do not have execute permission to the directory. However, on Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX I get the message "permission denied" instead of "not found". The message may be different on other OSes. See if you execute permission for DATA using ls -ld DATA # # From editors: # $ ls -ld DATA drw------- 3 nutso thegroup 4096 Apr 11 11:19 DATA Given read permission on a directory, ls can open the directory inode and read the names of the files within. Lacking execute permission on the directory, however, ls can't open the files' inodes, and thus, can't access the extra information about the files provided by, for instance, "ls -l". In addition, cd is prohibited from making a non-executable directory the present working directory. Note, the error messages reported in this question are different in detail on different systems. Q:From time to time I'm instructed to append some path to "PATH", some file to "LM_LICENSE_FILE", or some such thing. For instance, in the last issue, regarding Totalview: "To use it, add this: /usr/local/adm/pkg/flexlm/license.dat to the settings of your LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable." How specifically, would you suggest I do that?

2. Father said he needed someone who had enough loveTo give his life so we all could return there above.There was another who sought for the honor divine.Jesus said, "Father, send me, and the glory be thine."
3. Jesus was chosen, and as the Messiah he came,Conquering evil and death through his glorious name,Giving us hope of a wonderful life yet to be--Home in that heaven where Father is waiting for me.

I marched in the anti-Keystone XL climate change rally on February 17 in Washington, D.C.
At the Washington Monument gathering, where speeches were underway, it was nearly impossible to determine a sense of scale. Due to the space's strangeness, I estimated 4,000 people surrounding us in the shivering cold.
But a curious phenomenon occurred as the last speakers took their turn. Some group near the back simply took it upon themselves to start the march, and so a mass of people started for the road—and it didn't seem to end. More people kept on filling in and following; by the time the foremarchers cleared the corner and the road was filled, the crowd back on the green seemed no smaller.
And so, as our surrounding protestors swelled towards the march, we went with them. We walked down Constitution Avenue and made the first right.
The first of many impromptu dances broke out in a little pocket to our left. Chants swelled and died almost continuously. At one point a "Show-me-what dem-o-cra-cy looks-like" chant arose in the front and the back of us, with the front having a slightly faster tempo—that was a little bit confusing.
When we approached the White House, there was more confusion: Do we stop? Do we do something protest-like? Apparently not—everyone around us milled about and then followed those in front down the road that would take us back to the start. Thus, I really never saw all of the people in one place. The most I saw was at a turn in the road: The entire street in front of me was filled, and the entire street behind me was filled as well, a mass of faces and posters.
It was, simply, incredible. The notion that all these people (50,000 of them, as Sierra Club told us afterwards), had taken bus and plane to get there, that they had braved the cold weather and uncertain outcome; moreover, that there are that many people who care that much, was inspiring. Caring about the environment can seem like a lonely endeavor at times. Thankfully, that doesn't need to always be the case.
Apart from the scale, I did witness things I didn't exactly expect. There was the multitude of selfies I saw friends take with smartphones: pictures that presumably would be on Facebook later. There were the couple of marchers who I saw rooting through recycling bins afterwards to find some discarded poster prints that were in good shape, probably as souvenirs. And then there was that one befuddling girl I passed at an impromptu dance pocket who was explaining to her friend, "You know, a protest has to be fun. Like, it just has to be."
But I guess it's not that befuddling. There was undeniably a level of wealth that was necessary for most to attend this protest. Many protestors had to afford travel and lodgings. Everyone had to at least have the capacity to not work for a day.
And, more then that, the ability to care about the environment itself requires some level of privilege. It takes some level of education to understand the statistical abstraction that is climate. It requires some small distance from nitty-gritty problems of poverty that often stymies positive environmental regulation. Although it's unfortunate, as it opens up the movement to an easy attack, environmentalists are rarely the poorest of the poor.
All of this—the combination of the obsessive social documentation, the materialism of the posters, the focus on fun, people fighting a privileged fight—seemed, at some level, just wrong. It made the rally seem like a pet issue of the middle class, something we cared about to fill our time rather then for its legitimacy. Something that we just did, you know, for fun.
But I realized that fundamentally, it was not wrong. Who the speaker is does not determine the validity of the message. There are no "right" or "wrong" environmentalists; climate change will hurt everyone.
What we need is to solidly address this problem, not to go about and enforce our own conception of what it means to care. As Kai Murros says, "The middle class is a most important instrument of the revolution."
And as a pragmatist, I believe this is true. Environmentalists now must not lose sight of the true purpose of any social activism: to create as inclusive a platform as possible for change.
This inclusion of course applies to those who were unable to be at the rally for financial or other reasons. Any policy that is made must have a specific eye toward empowering disempowered communities; asking Obama to invest in green energy jobs as an alternative to the Keystone Pipeline should not just be a talking point, but a fundamental tenet of the environmental movement's platform. And to some extent, I really think that it is.
So, with this, let me end my account of the historic rally.
We may have marched privileged, but we stand united. President Obama: please, say "no" to that pipeline.

So, I decided to start this thread, and therefore will post some pics I had shared on the old thread. Feel free to add your own, and add as many pics as you'd like. I know I'll add several, and will continue to add to it as I have new pics I want to share. Hope everyone enjoys it!

It looks like there is a problem with your camera batteries. Either you are not inserting them properly or there is a problem in connection. You should also check the cover for possible damages or same thing. Still if the problem is not solved, you should contact to canon help center.

Congrats on the new purchase!
I'm sad to say I'm with you on the Glock 21SF. Mine "went away" the other day, never to return, and I'm not missing it. As much as I like the 9mm and even the .40 Glocks, their large frame guns just don't inspire me in the same manner.
How's the HK's reliability and accuracy so far? I've never shot a LEM-equipped HK, but you're not the first person to say nice things about them.

Football Student Ticket Distribution Policy
By USF
Related Links
Student Ticketing
- Students have secure, personal accounts from which to manage their account information, request a ticket, track their attendance history, view their loyalty points, print their ticket, as well as purchase student guest tickets, football away game tickets and bowl game tickets if available.
- Only currently enrolled, athletic-fee paying, students are eligible to request one (1) ticket to each home game.
- Students must register online through the student ticket link at www.gousfbulls.com.
- When accessing the online services for the first time, students must input their personal information, including a valid email address to use for all future communications regarding football tickets.
- Each student's login ID is their U# with a 9 replacing the U (e.g., U12345678 so the login ID is 912345678).
- Each student's login password is the last six (6) digits of their student ID number.
- On the student account home page, click on the link "view and request right of first refusal" under the buy tickets tab. Click on the game you want to request a ticket for.
- Once you have submitted a request, you will be able to click on the submitted request tab to verify that your request was submitted.
- If you are awarded a ticket (which you will be notified by email after the request period), you will click on the completed request tab and select the event. This will link you to your ticket that must be printed and brought to the game in order to gain entry into Raymond James Stadium.
- If a student has any of the following holds on their account, they will be ineligible for a free student ticket until the hold is cleared. Students should check on OASIS before trying to register for student tickets
- Any staff member that is currently enrolled in classes may not qualify for a free student ticket. Please check with the registrar's office for information on eligibility.
- Students must use the USF student ID that the USF card center reports as the active card. If a student has lost their student ID, they must get a new one in order to register their account.
- Requests for each football home game must be received prior to the designated deadlines. There is no advantage to being the first student to request a ticket, nor is there a disadvantage to being the last student to request. Students should check on www.gousfbulls.com for all deadline schedules.
- By requesting a student ticket, the student agrees to all posted policies and procedures for student ticket distributions.
- When the number of students that submit requests is fewer than the number of tickets available, all students requesting tickets will receive email notification that:
a. Each student has been awarded a ticket.
b. How and by what deadline to claim their ticket.
- Students will be assigned a ticket either in the 100/200 level or 300 level based on the number of accrued loyalty points.
- After claiming a ticket, students must then print out their ticket from any computer and bring it along with their valid student IDs to the game.
- Following the priority request period, additional students who desire to attend the game can claim any available tickets during the print-on-demand period up until kick-off on game day by printing out their ticket at home. Announcements regarding the availability of tickets will be emailed to each student as well as being posted on the student ticket page of www.gousfbulls.com.
- Students who claim a ticket but later decide not to attend the game for any reason must cancel their ticket with the USF Athletic Ticket Office no later than 12:00pm one day prior to game day to avoid the possibility of losing Loyalty Points (see 4.0 for details). Tickets may be cancelled in person at the USF Ticket Office located at the Baseball/Softball Complex Ticket Office or by email through the student ticketing website. Email notification must be received no later than 12:00pm one day prior, as well.
- If a greater number of students request tickets than the number of tickets available, then a lottery distribution is automatically initiated.
Lottery Distribution is a loyalty-based lottery that is initiated only when demand for tickets exceeds supply.
- Student lottery distribution is determined by student loyalty points. Therefore, students can increase the opportunity to obtain tickets to future games by attending any USF sanctioned athletic event. Opportunities will also be provided for students to earn loyalty points to non athletics events sanctioned by USF; details will be posted on www.gousfbulls.com.
- Students who are awarded tickets via Lottery Distribution will receive email notification regarding how and by what deadline they need to claim their tickets.
- Students who are not awarded tickets via the lottery distribution will receive email notification that they have been placed on the waiting list.
- If tickets are returned during Lottery Distribution, a second distribution occurs among registrants on the waiting list in straight Loyalty Point order.
Loyalty Points are awarded based on attendance to home USF sanctioned athletic events (Football, Men's and Women's Basketball, Volleyball, Men's and Women's Soccer, Baseball and Softball).
- Attendance is required to earn Loyalty Points. Students must have their tickets and/or valid USF student ID scanned at the respective entry gates to earn Loyalty Points for attending a USF home game.
- Scanners remain available at the entry gates of an event until halftime of football, basketball and soccer games. For softball, they remain available until the conclusion of the third inning. For baseball, they remain available until the conclusion of the fourth inning. For volleyball, they remain available the conclusion of the second game.
- Ten (10) Loyalty Points are earned for attending any home football game.
- Twenty (20) Loyalty Points are earned for attending any other ticketed USF athletic home contest, away football game or bowl game.
- Bonus Loyalty Points could be earned for attending a game for which lottery distribution does not occur because the demand for tickets does not exceed the supply. Bonus points could also be earned for attending games over University of South Florida holiday breaks or other University events.
- 50 bonus points will be given to Student Bulls Club members. Student Bulls Club Web Page
- Loyalty Points are not sport specific. Points are accumulated by attending any athletic event over the student's career up to five academic years per student.
There are a total of 12,501 seats held at Raymond James Stadium for students, all of which are located in the north end of the building.
- If a student obtains a Lower level ticket (100/200 Level), that student is eligible to sit within one of the following sections: 102-103, 106 and 144-151, which are located in the 100 level of the stadium, as well as sections: 201-206 and 241-245, which are located in the 200 level of the stadium. There are 9,841 student seats in the lower level of the stadium (5041 student seats in the 100 level and 4,800 student seats in the 200 level).
- All students who receive a lower level student ticket will have a specific Gate that they must enter on game day (either Gate A or Gate B). The Gate will be listed on the print at home ticket.
- Sections 140 and 143 are reserved for the USF band, for a total of 420 seats.
- Section 240 is designated as the New Alumni Section of the stadium and is considered to be part of the student block. This section contains season tickets sold to first year alumni who have recently graduated from the University of South Florida.
- If a student obtains a 300 level student ticket, that student is eligible to sit within one of the following sections: 341-344. There are a total of 2,240 seats available within these sections.
- Students who receive a 300 level student ticket will enter at Gate B on game day.
- If students do not use all of the allocated seats, then USF athletics reserves the right to open some or all of the 300 level seats to the general public for sale. This will not be determined until after the end of the request period for each game.
- Two (2) basic requirements for admission to all football home games require that students present:
a. Their valid student ticket.
b. Their valid USF Student ID which matches the name on the ticket.
- Each student ticket has the following printed on it:
a. A unique barcode
b. The student's name
c. The student's Entry Gate.
- Student tickets are non-transferable. Students cannot buy, sell, or transfer student or guest tickets to other students, non-students, or any other person.
- Student A cannot gain admission using the student ticket and/or USF student ID of Student B.
- In the event that a student ticket is duplicated, only the first ticket (barcode) scanned at the student gate will be admitted. All duplicated tickets will be denied admission. Therefore, it is in the student's own interest not to duplicate his/her tickets.
- If a student loses or misplaces a ticket, a ticket can be re-issued through the student ticket system. As soon as the new ticket is issued and emailed to the student, the previous ticket and barcode will be voided and will not be able to be used to gain entry into the Stadium.
- All student tickets will indicate an assigned level of seating for football. Your ticket will indicate which level your ticket gives you access to. Within the assigned levels, seating is general admission. This enables students to sit with friends and select their preferred seat location within the student sections at Raymond James Stadium.
- Students are welcome to reserve one (1) or two (2) seats for friends with whom they wish to sit during games. Students are not permitted to save large blocks of seats.
Students are able to request student guest tickets during the same student request period. Guest tickets will be assigned within the same seating level as long as a student requests guest tickets at the same time of requesting their student ticket. Students will pay for the guest ticket(s) at the time of requesting and will be notified via email regarding the seating location and when tickets are able to be printed.
- Student guest tickets are general admission seating in the student section.
- Student guest tickets are non-refundable.
- Students will be able to purchase a ticket to any football away game through their online account. There will be 1,000 seats held for only students to purchase for away games in Florida and 500 seats held for games played in other states. Students are only allowed to purchase one (1) ticket to away games in the student block of seating.
- All seating for most away games is assigned. Students will be grouped together into a USF Away Game Student Section. Select stadiums may have general admission tickets. Once tickets are available for pick up, an email will be sent out to all purchasers. The USF Athletic Ticket Office will not be able to hold any tickets.
- Once the seating is assigned, tickets will be available for pick up at the USF Athletic Ticket Office.
- Away game tickets will generally only be available for purchase up until two (2) weeks prior to the game. After this time, any remaining tickets (if any) must be returned to the opposing school. Any student(s) interested in attending an away game after this deadline will have to contact the opposing school's ticket office for tickets.
- Students will not be penalized for not attending an away game.
- Students will be able to request tickets to all bowl games in which USF participates. There will be a block of tickets set aside for only students to purchase depending on the amount of tickets available to the University. Limits on the number of seats available for purchase will be posted online.
- In the event that the demand for bowl tickets exceeds supply, loyalty points will be used to determine who will be awarded tickets and seated according to points.
Students who abuse provisions of the student ticket distribution policy will be referred to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities and, when necessary, to the Department of Public Safety (USF Police).
Violations that will result in referrals include, but are not limited to:
- The sale, attempted sale or transfer of student tickets.
- The duplication, replication, or alteration of student tickets and/or student guest tickets.
- The presentation of a false, duplicated, replicated, or altered USF Student ID or the USF Student ID of another student, at the student entry gate or the USF Athletic Ticket Office.
- Gaining or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the online student ticket distribution system or the personal account of another student.
- Students found "responsible" for violations of the student ticket distribution policy or convicted of a criminal act related to the student ticket distribution policy, will result in the loss of all student ticket privileges and points for the remainder of the school year (end of spring season).

Premier League
Ewood Park
April 13, 1998
This was the night Arsenal turned the screw in the 1997/98 title race.
Arsène Wenger's side were in a battle for top spot with Manchester United and this trip to Ewood Park looked like a potential banana skin for the Gunners for a number of reasons.
First up, Rovers were a pretty decent side back then. Secondly the game unfolded in blizzard conditions. And last but not least, the game came just 48 hours after Arsenal had faced Newcastle.
So would fatigue be a factor? Not a bit of it.
Arsenal were rampant from the first whistle and raced into a three-goal lead in just 17 minutes. Dennis Bergkamp fired them ahead after two minutes and a Ray Parlour brace effectively settled the contest.
Nicolas Anelka scored a memorable fourth on the counter-attack and, although Kevin Gallacher grabbed a consolation as Arsenal eased off, it mattered little.
Wenger's team had their sixth Premier League win on the bounce and they won the next four too to clinch the title with something to spare.
Our FreezeFrame image shows Parlour firing past Alan Fettis while fellow midfielder Emmanuel Petit looks on.
Arsenal team: Seaman, Winterburn, Vieira, Bould, Adams, Anelka (Platt), Bergkamp, Overmars (Hughes), Parlour, Petit, Garde. Subs not used: Wreh, Crowe, Manninger.

'One Sabres player expecting to become a free agent is forward Cody McCormick, who played a physical role in Buffalo's first-round playoff series, which it lost to Boston in April. McCormick's agent Todd Reynolds says the Sabres have shown no interest in his client.'
Archives for June 2010
Sabres 'intrigued' by free-agency scenarios
Clock ticking on Sabres' Tallinder and Lydman
'Tallinder made it clear he would only accept a multi-year deal and he's likely to get at least a three-year deal on the open market with a raise from last year. So is Lydman.'
Sabres snag Sundher in third round
'"They told my agent they were going to take me for sure if I was still there in the third round," Sundher said. "So they were one of the teams I imagined, and I think they're a great fit for what I do."'
Buffalo bites on Boychuk in seventh round
'It caught him a bit by surprise because the Sabres weren't one of the few teams that had talked to him prior to the draft. But it also made sense because the Sabres need big forwards, and at 6'5", 205 pounds he fits the bill.'
Sabres see market for deals opening
'"I expected there to be a little more action on the trade front, and there wasn't," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. "I think there's reasons for it. I can speculate. I think that with the cap going up, with the value of draft picks, people just stayed with the draft and didn't want to give up the picks. It really probably will play out over the month of July now."'
Sabres take two defensemen and a forward in 3rd round
'As far as how well he plays defensively the kid said, "I have to improve my defensive play. I keep listening to my coach which helps."'
Defensemen dominate early picks by Sabres
'"Of course we came in looking for some forwards, but we're real happy with what we got," Kevin Devine, Sabres director of amateur scouting, said in Staples Center. "When I went to bed last night, if somebody would have told me we got those three guys I would've been pretty happy. .C.C. We had them higher than they went, so it was a good day."'
Sabres put out welcome Matt
'"It's phenomenal," MacKenzie said. "It definitely felt pretty good when I saw my name come up."'
Sabres take D Gauthier-Leduc in 3rd round of draft
'Buffalo used the 68th overall selection Saturday in Los Angeles on the 17-year-old Gauthier-Leduc, who had 20 goals and 26 assists last season for Rouyn-Noranda in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Sabres were slated to have three picks in the third round.'
Pysyk waited so long, he needed a (bathroom) break
'The Sabres talked to Pysyk only once, on Thursday afternoon, because they wanted University of Notre Dame centre Riley Sheahan. But when Sheahan went No. 21 to the Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo changed gears.'
Pysyk goes to Sabres
'"The only thing I was worried about was I had to pee a little bit and I didn't know how long I'd have to wait."'
Sabres dip into WHL to take D Pysyk in NHL draft
'"Skating is such a big part of the National Hockey League today and Mark fits that," Sabres general manager Darcy Regier told NHL Radio. "Since the rule changes, mobility is a big factor. There is certainly room for a stay-at-home defenseman … but largely, it's a skating, puck-moving game and again, Mark fits that."'
Sabres tab Pysyk with 23rd pick
'The Sabres continued their recent trend of picking North American players, selecting Pysyk, who had been projected as high as the top 10 by some scouts.'
Positively making a Mark
'"He plays a quiet game, a safe game at times, and sometimes it gets lost," said Oil Kings general manager Bob Green. "One of the things about him that is underrated is his physical strength and his mental toughness. He is under-valued by people. You've got to see him on a daily basis to know how important he was to our team."'
Pysyk shouldered the load for Oil Kings
'I need to work on my shot and getting bigger, stronger, playing with a little bit more of an edge," he said. "And also foot speed. Everybody can always work on that. You never really can be satisfied with any part of your game."
