7:30 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Here's a team on a roll.......winning 4 in a row. Their last lost was to Oklahoma City in a close game. I look at this lineup and get envious........4 years ago......that wouldn't have happened. Grizzlies by 12..........
There are so many teams that we can say that about. When you factor in contracts, talent and "upside" into the whole equation, there aren't many rosters in the NBA that I would't trade for ours. ...I feel like I've just been such a doom & gloomer on this board lately but I guess it goes with the territory when your team is at rock bottom. I really need something positive to happen to the Pistons to help snap me out of this funk. We can trade Stuckey and Tay some time in March right? ...and at least Charlie hasn't been playing.
Memphis is a good team that has played a brutal schedule (their six losses are to San Antonio, OKC (twice), Chicago (who they later beat), Utah, and the Lakers). They shouldn't have any problem handling Detroit, even without Randolph. Memphis by 15.
This one is over before it started. Pistons by 25.
I kinda look at Rascoe to really know how the Pistons are doing. he always remains positive when things are crumbling around him with the Pistons........... This season............he's saying very, very, very little. There's a message there......for me, anyways.
http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/01/rodney-stuckey-out-for-tonights-game/ It's RUSSELL TIME!
I hope that Walker D. Jr. chooses to wear #3 tonight. Me thinks he can manage to drop 11pts, snag 3 boards and dish out a couple of dimes (while shootin' 34%) to proove to Joe that ANYONE can do what "Rodney Contract" does for a fraction of the price! Joe's get extra butter for his popcorn so he can use it as an excuse for how he let Marreese Speights slip through his fingers. ...Yet another emerging young big who would instantly become our 2nd best frontline player and could have been had for a 2nd round pick. ...yes, I said 2nd round pick. Zeebo (injured) might just rack-up a double-double while watching from the sidelines tonight.
We will witness firsthand what we missed today in Speights. Gasol is going to kill us for sure, but Speights will probably have a 20/10 game. Grizz by at least 15.
I remember watching former Piston Walker D Russell Sr. when he was a star at WMU. It's kind of cool that his son will also spend some time with the Pistons.
Will Bynum 2.0.
BBen starting at PF again. Good. Blaha just called Gordon "sweet shootin"? Interesting (and nice) story about Russell. Hope he does well. His dad's in the house to watch his son play. There seems to be about 800 people in the Palace.
Mason went to introduce the pistons coach and said 'John...', then corrected himself and said Lawrence Frank. Nice Theres about 4,000 people here
Horrible start. I wouldn't be surprised if we get spanked by 40 points. I don't even know why I watch these games any more.
Sygmund Freud would have something to say about that mistake.
Crash course after his plane lands... nice.
Knight putting the team on his back!
^If only his team could help him win instead of propelling them to another loss.

The entire list
Baskent TV, 13 February 2009
Adnan Oktar: Of course the crisis has hit Turkey in away. That is true and it will continue to do so. But our people have a good aspect. Morality of Islam and the spirit of mutual cooperation are so pleasant. That brings an economic mobility in goods and money and it definitely will continue to bring them. Therefore THE REFLECTION OF THE CRISIS IS NOT AS SEVERE AS IN EUROPE. IT WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE SO. However, our actual salvation is by the Turkish–Islamic Union. In that case, forget the crisis, people will almost be uncomfortable due to prosperity.

During the global crisis many countries have plunged into debt mire. The one country that was least affected by the crisis and surfaced at a most rapid rate has become Turkey.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Montpellier in the Champions League on Wednesday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck and Daniel Cowan of North London Is Red.
Job done. Arsenal are in the last 16 for the 13 consecutive year and when you think about how both Manchester clubs and Chelsea have struggled this season or last season, you realise just how admirable the Gunners' record is. They didn't start well on Wednesday, indeed they could have fallen behind in the first half thanks to some sloppy passing and hesitation at the back. But the second half was a different story. Montpellier's threat was stifled and their former striker Olivier Giroud made the difference with two excellent assists, finished off expertly by Jack Wilshere and Lukas Podolski. It's good to see Arsenal sharing the goals around this season - long may it continue.
Arsenal have visibly lacked confidence in recent weeks but that emphatic win in the north London derby should ensure they are full of life in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The likes of Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski, below-par for much of November, were back to their best against Tottenham and that is great news for Arsène Wenger. Montpellier have some decent players - Younes Belhanda is a stand-out threat - but Arsenal in full flow are so difficult to stop at Emirates Stadium and I think they'll get the result they need that could take them through with a game to spare. I expect Arsenal to win reasonably comfortably, perhaps 3-1, and I also expect the in-form Olivier Giroud to make a better impression than he did in the Group B opener against his former club.
Overall I think this was the comfortable win predicted as Montpellier rarely troubled our defence and Szczesny had very little to do all night. We had a slow first half and although we threatened we didn't look to have the composure to score. That changed in the second half as we found our rhythm and moved the ball quicker to great effect. We have now secured our 13th consecutive season in the knockout stages of the Champions League which is no easy feat.
Jack Wilshere broke the deadlock to the relief of himself, the management, the team and the fans. Once his goal went in I felt qualification was secured. Giroud didn't have the game he probably hoped to have but his link-up play was superb once again. His flick-on for Jack was perfectly cushioned although I feel that Vermaelen should take most of the plaudits for setting up that goal. The captain's jinking move and deft right-footed cross for the pre-assist had shades of Song v Dortmund. Not bad for a left-footed centre back playing out of position.
The second goal was truly sensational in both pass and finish. Giroud, who some have falsely labelled as just an aerial threat, showed his ball skills with a delightful chip over the top into the path of the on-running Podolski who smashed an astonishing volley into the roof of the net. We've had periods where our defence has been solid but our attack hasn't connected and vice versa. We're now starting to see it all come together and going into what is always a busy and crucial Christmas period it couldn't have come at a better time.
We go into this game with a great deal of confidence after Saturday's emphatic win and have a chance to secure our place in the knockout stages. A big win against good opposition always has huge psychological benefits and a second 5-2 against a decent Spurs side in nine months will do wonders. We are now starting to see the offensive cohesion the manager spoke of after Old Trafford and for me this has much to do with Giroud's superb line-leading performances, goals and assists. Olivier is now one of the most effective strikers in the league in terms of goals per minutes played and he goes into this game in top form. All players want to put in a good show against their old club and Olivier is no different. He'll be desperate to get on the scoresheet and Cazorla's rejuvenation should aid this.
After a few quiet performances, Arteta and Podolski seem to be regaining form which will be crucial as Arteta will have his hands full with Belhanda, while whoever plays left back will need Podolski to be at his supportive best. Theo has been absolutely flying recently and I think we'll miss his pace and movement against a team who may be lacking in confidence. Montpellier haven't won a match this month so this game is coming at just the right time. If our attacking players put on a performance I'm certain we'll make comfortable work of sailing into the knockout rounds.

|mustang 671
holley 600 carb specs for my weiand 671 . HELP !!!
hi all. have been working on my car all day. dumped the old fuel and cleared the lines and re filled with 99 pump gas . i have 2x vac secs 600 holleys on 671 weiand on 351w. this is what i have
-secondary springs are colour purple
-i have prefix 70 jets in both primary metering blocks and 1 of the sec metering blocks as the other cannot be fitted due to no room
-power valves have prefix 65
-acc pump cam is colour orange ( i think, as i havent seen the shade of brown) not sure which position it is in.
-diapghram on the acc pump is colour green ( not sure if they have different ones ?)
so my question is are there any changes that i need to do that are obvious at this stage ? i need to order some bits from holley this week so can always order some other bits from the reccomendations from you all. i have previously set out my engine specs in a previos post (671 weiand blower 351w engine) i have a high lift crane cam. 7.48.1 cr. blower underdriven 13% so hoping for around 6-8 psi to begin with.
i have set my inital timing at 12d btdc and total at 28d btdc all in at 3000rpm.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Following a career-game from sophomore midfielder Jeremy Noble (Orangeville, Ontario), the University of Denver men's lacrosse team upset the eighth seeded North Carolina Tar Heels, 16-14, in NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament action on Saturday night at Fetzer Field.
Led by Noble, the Pioneers (9-6) saw three different student-athletes record hat tricks. Noble set a new Denver Division I single-game record tallying 10 points on a career-high seven assists as well as a season-high tying three goals. Senior Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) tied a career-high with five goals, while freshman Wes Berg (Coquitlam, British Columbia) netted three goals and added two assists for five points.
Senior Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Conn.) got into the action with three points, on two goals and an assist, while junior Eric Law (Centennial, Colo.) recorded two goals, including the final in the last second. Junior midfielder Cameron Flint (Georgetown, Ontario) capped off the scoring by adding a goal.
Redshirt-sophomore Drew Babb (Centennial, Colo.) assisted on the game-clinching goal. Junior midfielder Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) also added an assist to go along with converting on 22-of-30 successful face-offs for the Pioneers, tying his career-high.
After North Carolina cut Denver's lead to 15-14 with 48 seconds left in the game, the Tar Heels regained possession and looked to score the game-tying goal. Following a UNC timeout, sophomore defensemen John Zurlo (Bernardsville, N.J.) forced a caused turnover, grabbing the groundball and relaying the pass to Babb who found a streaking Law for the open-net goal as time expired, sealing the victory for the Pioneers.
The Crimson and Gold secured only its second one-goal victory of the season, after dropping the previous five games, four of them in overtime.
In a game that saw three ties and five lead changes, the Pioneers were able to regain the lead for good at the end of the third quarter, scoring eight goals in the final half after tallying 11 alone in the second quarter.
The Pioneers will travel to Annapolis, Md., on Saturday, May 19, for their third match-up this season against top-seeded Loyola (Md.) in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPN3.

Exeter girl remains in hospital after Kingston crash
While the investigation continues, Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr. said police determined weather was a factor in the crash, which occurred near 59 Exeter Road. He said police will look into whether speed, alcohol or anything else was a factor in the crash.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 9:36 a.m. after a westbound 2001 Ford Windstar, driven by Rachell West of Exeter, slid into an eastbound 2007 Nissan Murano, driven by Stephanie Raymond of Danville.
West's 8-year-old daughter and son were passengers in the Windstar. Raymond was the sole occupant in the Murano.
Ambulance crews from Kingston and East Kingston transported all four people to Exeter Hospital. The girl was later transferred to Boston due to the extent of her injuries.
Route 111 was closed for about an hour until East Kingston police and firefighters from Kingston and Brentwood cleared the area at 10:26 a.m.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by DeetroitDynasty-e, Jun 5, 2007.
At this point, it seems very likely that his stock has fallen that much.
Darko's stock won't drop until after he signs the contract and begins to play.
Here is the stat I like about Dale Davis. He was the 4th best on the team in terms of +/- per minute played. #1- McDyess: .156 #2- Chauncey: .145 #3- Rip Hamilton: .127 #4- Dale Davis: .107 When he was on the court, we scored 5 points less, but gave up 7 less points per 100 possessions. That is Ben Wallace-like. Also, when he was in the game, we fouled less, blocked more shots, and most importantly, out-rebounded our opponents. We got 53.3% of the total rebounds when he was in and only 48.7% when he was out. That is a huge difference. This guy is good for another year or two. And he provides an attitude. Chauncey can train our new fleet of guards and Dale can make sure our new bigs are tough enough.
I'ts certainly an interesting suggestion. He may even be able to help us. But let's remind ourselves of the type of player Joe likes to bring here - draft, etc. 1) Someone who "brings it" every time he's on the court. 2) A tough-minded competitor who cares more about winning than his individual stats. 3) Someone who has something to prove ("chip on his shoulder"). 4) He brings something positive to add to the existing team culture. 5) He's professional, not a distraction or a "knucklehead". I'm not sure Darko's a good fit, but it certainly would be an interesting experiment to give him a second chance here.
Flip didn't insert Dale into games when the Pistons were playing the others teams "B" squad or anything? Teams that weren't as cohesive as the starting five so they settled for jumpers and often put up less points. Lacked the confidence and aggressiveness to get to the foul line. Typical bench player stuff. Naw.
Actually, Dale Davis usually entered the game when our starting bigs were getting their butts kicked and were in quick foul trouble. He was typically playing against starters. Remember the goon squad breakout game? After that, Flip Saunders rarely played him. Not sure why.
Perhaps Dales tenacity and toughness reminded Flip of Ben, and he had to put a stop to it.
Flip has really weird tendencies (not just his facial ticks), like whenever bench guys get hot he sits them down like he'll wait for the 3/4th and put them back in and not miss a step. I think his decisions are too technical, he needs to better feel the flow of the game...
The Goon Squad game...thank God we have a coach as insightful as Flip who could see that the DD/Max combo that worked so well in one game was just a fluke and should never be used again. That kind of smarts is why you want an experienced coach on the sidelines. You get some guy like a Laimbeer or a Mike Curry as a coach and they would think.... "Hey that Goon Squad deal really worked, I think I'll use it again" Yeah right! LOL....just because something worked really well once doesn't mean it will ever work again...or that you should even try it again. That's why I like the coaching experience Flip brings us...he can see beneath the surface of ordinary situations and decipher the likely outcomes of occurences that haven't occured yet.
We need a big fella. Failing that, a bus driver, someone who can take opponents to school.
That would actually be a cool nickname. Why haven't I heard this one before?
big fella = basketbills bus driver = BillLaimbeer nicknames came up in chat one day.
Maybe we can trade Nazr Mohammed, Flip Murray, and a second round draft pick for a starting center who is going to lead the Pistons to the finals, but there are only a few really dumb General Managers in the NBA so there is not much chance that is going to happen. Nazr is not going to be better next year than he was last year, but he is plenty good enough to be a back up. Better than most second stringers, I think. Maxiell, McDyess and Amir Johnson all need to get most of their minutes at power forward and they all need to play. The only answer I can see is either start Rasheed Wallace at center or trade him for a starting center. He is the only one with the trade value and contract to make it likely to happen if we want to get someone significantly better than Nazr. I think Rasheed is the best player on the team and a leader. I would like to see him stay, but he would have to want to play center and sacrifice some of his own game to win another ring. This might only be a one or two year fix but I bet Rasheed could do it if he wanted to. The other choice is start Nazr again and hope the young guys can lift the whole team, but that is really a crap shoot.
ESPN - Stein: Heat looking for Mo guard help - NBA
I think Webber would better serve us off the bench to play alongside Stuckey to take some of the pressure of the kid's passing skills. I still think we're screwed at center in the beginning of the year. Nazr does Ramadan, Dyess comes back off of his no-practice off season, and that leaves us with our two best options at less than 80%. Part of the problem with keeping Nazr is that we'll have to use him (to raise his trade value) during the beginning of the season when he sucks the most. I think Webb would still help this team though.
Hakeem played during Ramadan. Without consulting a calendar, I know Ramadan was over early last season, and since the Islamic calendar is shorter than the Judeo Christian one, you can expect Ramadan to influence the pre-season or training camp. By the time the season starts, Nazr should be nearly, if not 100%. EDIT::: Just checked, I don't believe the season starts until November.
I'm not saying he'll be doing Ramadan during the season, but he'll be... recovering/returning to normalcy from it. Just like Dyess being a little out of it at the beginning of the season, Nazr's body is getting back into the rhythm of things. During the beginning of the season he is not 100% effective because during the time that the team is coming together during preseason/early practices he's recovering.
Was there some other religious holiday that screwed up the rest of his year?
Haha yeah, Flip Saunderism because it has little to no faith in the bench
Actually the Islamic calendar is the same as the Jewish calendar except that the Jewish calendar adds a leap month periodically so that their major Jewish festivals always fall within the same season; i.e., spring, summer, winter, fall, whereas no such adjustment is made to the Islamic calendar. Both calendars are lunar except for the leap month adjustment in the Jewish calendar. The Gregorian calendar followed by Christians is a solar calendar and is based on the annual revolution of the earth around the sun.

congrats on approvement!
congrats on approvement!
thank you! my first troop is tomorrow! as well as a film festival parade on sunday. we're doing a 2km parade and David Hasselhoff is leading it :/ i'll try and get a pic for you all
Nice work ! the weathering is great!
Nice work there...how did you attach the thigh holsters to the suit ?... are they just on velcro or do you fit a strap round your leg inside the flightsuit?...Im thinking due to the weight / presence of a gun .
I'll get a pic of it later but I essentially added 2 strips to the inside V area of the thigh armour. This is enough to hold it in place without the strapping but the strapping is in all reference pics so I put it there as well.
With Natalia Tena from Game of Thrones & Harry Potter. She was SO impressed by my costume
very cool ash
Then I find this picture... So many memes to be generated
looking great congrats!
Nice! It looks super legit. How'd you do the metal effect? I'm Just curious.
I used chalk pastels for the weathering but my video will explain the whole process. Getting it as close to the animation as possible was my priority. I'm a graphic designer/fine artist so I'm a perfectionist when it comes to paint/colour/effects. I'll do a video tutorial once this weekend is over (being May the 4th and all) we have a major event on and I'm doing all my costume clean-ups/repairs/inspections so they look snazzy for the public.
Have fun! I'd love to see it, too bad i'm in Hawaii
Looks brilliant on you!
Would love to see this character in the flesh
Thanks guys! I've got a few pics from the troop today (more tomorrow) ill definitely upload them.
Unfortunately I'll probably never bring this one overseas as she's quite precious to me (and cost me a months pay all up).
Awesome, can't wait to see them!
I had a question on the jumpsuit what did u use got my armor from kw and should be getting my jp and helmet soon from cruzer plan on starting on it in a few weeks and would like to have the parts together thanks
That turned out perfect.... like Bo Katan just walked out of my computer screen.
that paint work is stunning....... keep up the great work! is there a video or website where i can find something about the metal effect you did? i really like how it's Clone Wars-ey ( can't say it better , my bad ).

It's all looking fantastic!
Wow i am impressed by the weathering and detail you put into it. I love it hun!!
Thank you. I got new gauntlets yesterday which I'll video my weathering technique so you can check it out.
I'm an artist/graphic designer so I usually go way overboard when detailing things

By Rob Kelly
Thomas Vermaelen has praised the impact Thierry Henry has made in the dressing room during his second spell at the Club.
The French striker is due to return to New York Red Bulls on Thursday after completing a highly-successful loan spell with the Gunners.
Henry has scored three goals in six appearances but Vermaelen insists he has been just as effective off the pitch as on it.
"He has a big influence on the players. He is a leader: he talks a lot in the dressing room," the Belgian said.
"He has a lot of experience and because we have a lot of young players and he has that experience, he talks to them a lot."
Arsène Wenger is disappointed to see Henry leave, but says it is only fair to the Red Bulls to allow the striker to return in good time for the new MLS season.
"We wanted to keep him for two weeks longer but it wasn't possible," he said. "Thierry is captain of their team and they start the championship in two weeks.
"It is difficult for a player to come the day before the championship starts when he is captain of the club and has not played at all with the team in pre-season.
"I believe that it was just common sense. I am OK with that because I accepted that agreement at the start."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Recently, I received a visit at home from a religious organization, which handed me two of its publications. As I believe that every religion has some wisdom to share, I read both magazines. What really struck me was the cross-media approach of the magazines; many articles referred to a video or website, and QR codes were placed throughout. Reading this magazine, I thought back to my recent trip to the US, where I also saw many QR codes: on advertising in the subway, in stores, in magazines. However, I didn't see anyone reading those codes. Thinking about this a bit longer, I couldn't think of any occasion when I had observed someone using a QR code.
With that in mind, I had a look at Forrester's Consumer Technographics® 2012 surveys for both Europe and the US to understand the uptake of QR codes by the general online audience. I found that about 8% of US online adults with a mobile phone have used QR/2D bar codes in the past month — up from only 1% in 2010 and 5% in 2011. Uptake doesn't really show huge differences by age, interestingly enough, but in both the US and Europe, men are more likely to use them than women.

You've got an image. Maybe you don't need it when eating ice cream on a lazy Sunday, but when you hit the town, you want to look GOOD, you know? So get this stuff and you'll be ready with hair and face and skin when you really wanna dress to impress. Or if you just want to impress the ice cream.

text: I think if you have some credentials and can prepare a course that will enhance new shooters' appreciation of handguns and shooting, you should definitely offer a course. If on the other hand, you, like a lot of us, are simply an avid shooter who has seen how people get steered into initial/early handgun purchases without a good knowledge base and want to help folks up the learing curve and avoid buying the wrong gun, that's an admirable goal. But I'm not sure how much you could charge for that. Most folks want to pay for classes that will satisfy a requirement like a CCW license. But you can sure give it a try and see if there's interest.

A while back I came up with a stat which at the time I called LT Index which is essentially the percentage of a players teams ice time when leading that the player is on the ice for divided by the percentage of a players teams ice time when trailing that the player is on the ice for (in 5v5 situations and only in games in which the player played). LT Index standing for Leading-Trailing Index. I have decided to rename this statistic to Usage Ratio since it gives us an indication of whether players are used more in defensive situations (i.e. leading and protecting a lead and thus a Usage Ratio above 1.00) or in offensive situations (i.e. when trailing and in need of a goal and thus a Usage Ratio less than 1.00). I think it does a pretty good job of identifying how a player is used.
I then compared players Usage Index to their 5v5 tied statistics using the theory that a player being used in a defensive role when leading/trailing is more likely to be used in a defensive role when the game is tied. This is also an out of sample comparison (which is always a nice thing to be able to do) since we are using leading/trailing situations to identify offensive vs defensive players and then comparing to 5v5 tied situations that in no way overlap the leading or trailing data.
Let's start by looking at forwards using data over the last 3 seasons and including all forwards with >500 minutes of 5v5 tied ice time. The following charts compare Usage Ratio with 5v5 Tied CF%, CF60 and CA60.
Usage Ratio is on the horizontal axis with more defensive players to the right and offensive players to the left.
Usage Ratio has some correlation with CF% but that correlation is solely due to it's connection with generating shot attempts for and not for restricting shot attempts against. Players we identify as offensive players via the Usage Ratio statistic do in fact generate more shots but players we identify as defensive players do not suppress opposition shots any. In fact, Usage Ratio and 5v5 tied CA60 is as uncorrelated as you can possibly get. One may attempt to say this is because those defensive players are playing against offensive players (i.e. tough QoC) and that is why but if this were the case then those offensive players would be playing against defensive players (i.e. tough defensive QoC) and thus should see their shot attempts suppressed as well. We don't observe that though. It just seems that players used as defensive players are no better at suppressing shot attempts against than offensive players but are, as expected, worse at generating shot attempts for.
Before we move on to defensemen let's take a look at how Usage Ratio compares with shooting percentage and GF60.
As seen with CF60, Usage Ratio is correlated with both shooting percentage and GF60 and the correlation with GF60 is stronger than with CF60. Note that the sample size for 3 seasons (or 2 1/2 actually) of 5v5 tied data is about the same as the sample size for one season of 5v5 data (players in this study have between 500 and 1300 5v5 tied minutes which is roughly equivalent of how many 5v5 minutes forwards play over the course of one full season).
FYI, the dot up at the top with the GF60 above 5 is Sidney Crosby (yeah, he is in a league of his own offensively) and the dot to the far right (heavy defensive usage) is Adam Hall.
Now let's take a look at defensemen.
There really isn't much going on here and how a defenseman is used really does't tell us much at all about their 5v5 stats (only marginal correlation to CF60). As with forwards, defensemen that we identify as being used in a defensive are not any better at reducing shots against than defensemen we identify as being used in an offensive manner.
To summarize the above, players who get more minutes when playing catch up are in fact better offensive players, particularly when looking at forwards but players who get more minutes when protecting a lead are not necessarily any better defensively. We do know that there are better defensive players (the range of CA60 among forwards is similar to the range of CF60 so if there is offensive talent there is likely defensive talent too), and yet coaches aren't playing these defensive players when protecting a lead. Coaches in general just don't know who their good defensive players are.
Still not sold on this? Well, let's compare 5v5 defensive zone start percentage (percentage of face offs taken in the defensive zone) to CF60 and CA60 (for forwards) in 5v5 tied situations.
Percentage of face offs in the defensive zone is on the horizontal axis and CF60 is on the vertical axis. This chart is telling us that the fewer defensive zone face offs a forward gets, and thus likely more offensive face offs, the more shot attempts for they produce. In short, players who get offensive zone starts get more shot attempts.
The opposite is not true though. Players who get more defensive face offs don't give up any more or less shots than their low defensive zone face off counterparts. This tells me that if there is any connection between zone starts and CF% it is solely due to the fact that players who get offensive zone starts are better offensive players and not because players who get defensive zone starts are better defensive players.
You might again be saying to yourself 'the players who are getting the defensive zone starts they are playing against better offensive players so doesn't make sense that their CA60 is inflated above their talent levels (which presumably is better than average defensively)? This might be true, but if zone starts significantly impacted performance (as would be the case if that last statement were true), either directly or indirectly because zone starts are linked to QoC, then there should be more symmetry between the charts. There isn't though. Let's look at what these two charts tell us:
- The first chart tells us that players who get offensive zone starts generate more shot attempts.
- The second chart tells us that players who get defensive zone starts don't give up more shots attempts against.
If zone starts were a major factor in results, those two statements don't jive. How can one side of the ledger show an advantage and the other side of the ledger be neutral? The way those statements can work in conjunction with each other is if zone starts don't significantly impact results which is what I believe (and have observed before).
But, if zone starts do not significantly impact results, then the results we see in the two charts above are driven by the players talent levels. Knowing that we once again can observe that coaches are doing a decent job of identifying offensive players to start in the offensive zone but are doing a poor job at identifying defensive players to play in the defensive zone.
All of this is to say, NHL coaches generally do a poor job at identifying their best defensive players so if you think that guy who is getting all those defensive zone starts (aka 'tough minutes') are more likely to be defensive wizards, think again. They may not be.

The elliptical is a mainstay in the gym for good reason: it's easy on the joints and provides a great cardio and total-body workout. But the elliptical can also get pretty boring and repetitive, too. Instead of spending a mindless 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, maximize your time by doing one of these eight workouts instead. Whether you're a beginner, looking for a high-intensity interval workout, or want to challenge different muscles groups, there's an elliptical workout for you. There's even one for those of you who love the treadmill!
Booty Workout
Target glutes and hamstrings by playing with the incline on the elliptical. This elliptical booty workout will help you tone your backside while also getting a good cardio workout. Really give your backside a good workout by focusing on keeping your heels down while you're on the machine.
Core Workout
To work your core while on the elliptical, just let go. Not using the handles in this elliptical core workout helps engage all the muscles of your core as you work harder to stay balanced on the machine. The faster you can go, the more you'll work your core in this.
Just Like the Treadmill
For times when you can't find an empty treadmill in the gym, try this elliptical treadmill workout. The workout comes close to mimicking what running on a treadmill feels like and may even help even out your stride. To really feel like you're on a treadmill, don't hold onto the elliptical's handles; instead, keep your arms in a running position.
Short on Time
When you don't have a lot of time, try this short interval elliptical workout. It's only 22 minutes long (including warmup and cooldown), and features really short and effective intervals. Using quick intervals makes the workout intense and is great for burning calories.
If you're new to the elliptical machine—or working out in general—try this beginning elliptical workout. It uses all the different features of the machine, which gives you an idea of what it can do: by pedaling forward you work your quads, and going backward targets the hamstrings and booty. Focus on pushing the handles to work on your chest, and pulling the handles will work your upper back. A great way to challenge your core stability is to let go of the handles while keeping your pace steady.
Shorter Intervals
One way to push the interval envelope is to decrease the amount of rest time between your bouts of sprinting. By shortening your recovery time, you're pushing your anaerobic threshold and strengthening your cardiovascular system. Sound good? Then try this elliptical intervals shrinking recovery workout.
Total Body
This 30-minute elliptical workout targets your entire body while also getting your heart rate up.
Do this elliptical interval workout when you only have 30 minutes to spare. It's the best way to get the most out of what you're doing!

Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss were enthusiastic collectors and judicious patrons of scholarship and the arts. A graduate of Harvard University, Robert Bliss (1875–1962) pursued a distinguished career as an officer and diplomat in the Foreign Service. Mildred Bliss (1879–1969) inherited a fortune from her family's investment in the patent medicine Fletcher's Castoria. Sharing a taste in the art of little-known or under-appreciated cultures, the Blisses developed unique collections with the help of knowledgeable friends and scholarly advisors. They envisioned Dumbarton Oaks as a

Excellent program. It should be expanded to all airports and travelers required to join as a condition of travel. Travel without TSAPre should generate hefty fines. TSA should be an income generator.

Pathetic. Why is this not the default level of screening for ALL passengers, not just a perk for the wealthy elite and those chosen at your whim? Why can't you people admit the scanners are a disgusting, invasive waste and that th shoe and liquid farces make no one safer?
- October 29, 2013 at 8:34 PM

Every passenger screened by pre check standards still only represents about 12 days of total passenger loads.
Pre check screening proves that LGA can be adequately screened while remaining in luggage.
Pre check screening proves there is no reason to strip down at TSA check points.
Pre check airports still is less than 25% of airports under TSA control.
Pre check is just another effort by TSA to justify itself while squandering citizens tax dollars.
TSA Pre Check = Boondoggle

"If you haven't heard of TSA Pre✓™, it's an expedited screening program that allows pre-approved airline travelers to leave their shoes, light outerwear, and belt on. TSA Pre✓™ travelers can also keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on."

But, really, the point of PreCheck is to shut up frequent flyers. Make security less of a hassle and people will stop complaining about the loss of their rights and liberties.

I like the Pre Check lanes, I find it funny that people are already complaining that the lanes are too crowded with folks that do not know what they are doing. TSA is giving passengers less screening to some passengers and now its seemed as a problem. Yet another case where TSA will not win no matter what they try.

Why are you randomly allowing infrequent flyers to be sent to PreCheck? This is done by the TSA as they check boarding passes, and it results in novice travelers not knowing what to do!
Shoes come off, bags pulled out.... the line then slows.
I paid for precheck, but more importantly I *know* how to use precheck.... this new initiative ruins the process.

Not all airports have the manning to have precheck open much, so they have integrated lanes, many precheck passengers are unaware of the difference, this was rolled out so fast and never explained. In an integrated lane passengers person is the same but bags are treated like any other lane, this upsets many precheck passengers who were not informed

Meteorology graduate lands position with U.S. Air Force
|Date: Thursday, February 28th, 2013
When Nathaniel Shearer of Berea entered WKU's Meteorology Program in the Department of Geography and Geology in Fall 2007, he had his sights set on adding to the military tradition within his family by becoming a Weather Officer for the U.S. Air Force.
The program is delighted to announce that, as a recent graduate of the WKU Meteorology Program, Shearer has beaten the odds and achieved success with an offer to become a Weather Officer by attending Officer Training School with the USAF at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala.
"The strong educational background I received from the WKU Meteorology Program, in addition to the many leadership opportunities I took part in, were an extremely important factor in my selection for Officer Training School," Shearer said. "Serving our country is not a right, it's a privilege. I can think of no greater honor than serving as a Weather Officer representing this country and Western Kentucky University."
Like many other jobs in today's economy, the field of meteorology is incredibly competitive, especially for recent college graduates with Bachelor of Science degrees. This means even the highest quality graduates are not only competing with each other, they are competing against those with graduate-level degrees, as well as those who are already in the work force looking for a new role or position. For these reasons, the focus of the WKU Meteorology Program has been to offer unique, professional experiences and training in order to produce high quality students who are well-prepared and competitive to continue on to graduate school and/or seek employment.
One highly respected area of competitive employment includes the United States Air Force. The USAF typically hires for the position of "Officer," which is a leadership role whereby the applicant is placed based on the degree earned. However, like most employers, if the needs are met by current employees, no positions are offered. When these jobs do become available, only the top percentile of applicants is considered from a vast applicant pool.
"The WKU Meteorology program is tough, competitive, and focused on training students for these types of workforce opportunities," said Dr. David Keeling, head of the Department of Geography and Geology. "Nathaniel's success is not only a testament to his dedication to his studies but to the structure of the program that prepared him well for this opportunity. The entire faculty congratulates Mr. Shearer on this appointment."

Very disappointed to be having to post this account of my first experience in China, namely Guangdong Province. I lasted just 3 months. I have to return home due to terrible office working conditions and also the fact that I've been constantly ill for the past 11 weeks. I put the illness down to a change of environment and possibly living in a city, whereas I'm used to the outback! Dali Experimental School is a least 25 minutes by taxi away from Foshan City and 45 minutes from Guangzhou. If you travel by bus then of course it can take considerably longer. Dali itself has nothing. Do not expect any western familiarities whatsoever. Sure you will get a coffee and a subway in Guangzhou, but in Dali nothing of the like, just busy noisy streets, no bars or cafes.
I came to China to encompass the culture and cuisine, the people and the atmosphere, but this is not the place to do so as I was constantly told during my 3 months there. The phrase "The people here are so much different to other areas of China" was said over and over by other experienced westerners here. They meant different in a bad way by the way.
Anyway, the subject school itself is ok. The accommodation provided was adequate. The classroom sizes were between 30 to 35 and for 80% of the time I enjoyed teaching the kids (grade 2 & 3). The assistant teachers were a mixed bag. I had 16 classes, and 6 different assistants. 2 of the teachers were excellent. The other 4 were crap. Crap is simply best way to describe them. There supposed to be there to assist with discipline or help with communication. What they actually did was mix of texting on their mobile phones, marking books and paying no attention to my class, turning up late or even not turning up at all.
Free food was great if you like rice and chicken feet. I like rice. Overall the admin of the school was pretty good; if I needed medicine then I got it. If I had a maintenance issue with my room then it was fixed. The Principle was a fair guy and never caused me any problems at all.
So, what was my problem with the school? Ok, let's begin. I'm a completely new out of the box ESL teacher. There was absolutely no induction given by the Office Manager. I was told on day one the 60 year old International teacher who dates one of the 26 year old Chinese teachers, that it didn't matter what you taught them in the class. ''The school just wants to see a white face, do as little as you can and get paid''. Not exactly the sort of welcome and professionalism I had hoped for on my arrival. This was following the comment "Let me know when you want to go to Hong Kong, I can get you laid if you need to". So, straight away I had serious doubts regarding this man and his suitability to be at this school in any guise.
I received no teaching aids or assistance with lesson planning despite numerous requests. The happy helping face of the Office Manager soon faded away when a couple of suggestions were made on how I might improve my classes and my own teaching ability by way of me locating myself with my assistant teachers as opposed to being seated in the self glorified "International Office".
It is important to mention at this time that another teacher, who taught in the attached kindergarten, had been taken to a mental institution having been known to suffer depression by the Office Manager and Senior Teacher for quite some period of time. The teacher was not visited once in the time he had been taken to the hospital and it was in fact of great humour to the Office Manager in the office. I and two other foreign teachers were mortified to say the least!
It transpired that the Senior Teacher hated everyone and I realised after a short time that he didn't have a good word to say about anyone and nobody actually liked him. He has been 56 years of age for the past 3 years apparently, so I'm bemused at what "special arrangement" the Office Manager states he has with the Senior Teacher being at the school.
Before I forget, I have a degree in Business and no TESOL qualification. At least I didn't have a TESOL qualification until the Office Manager without telling me had "obtained" me a certificate from an online institute in California.....................I only noticed one day as I walked past his desk and saw my resume on his computer screen, with this added certificate detail and the fact that I had also previously taught at another school for one year. This simply wasn't true. I was told that this was normal procedure in order to obtain the expert certificate for new ESL teachers. I do not believe for on moment that the school were aware of this and it was purely the practise of the Office Manager. He told me that the Principle would probably not have accepted me if he hadn't ''lied" on my resume....................Personally I would not have taken the position had I known that this was how the Office Manager operated and I would have gone elsewhere..........legitimately.
I end up leaving with release letter and being told that the school will not cancel my work visa. My release letter states that I need to return to Australia for a reason not stated. This again is simply not true and I have no need to return anywhere. Again, I'm sure that the Principle of the school is totally unaware of the ongoing deceit and lies of the Office Manager. He simply doesn't want me at the school anymore despite the fact that my teaching was very good and that I was a "natural" in the Office Managers own words. I had received no complaints from anyone and had only simply asked that he be upfront with me and honest. Obviously the latter request was enough to place the noose around my own neck and thus save ''face'' for the Office Manager.
Despite the Office Manager threatening to cause me problems with SAEFA if I say anything bad about him, I feel I have to relay my experiences to others. Not just for this school (or more so this particular duo of people) but for the general experience which I'm sure is not unique to this school and/or area.
I have already contacted SAEFA and several recruiting agencies and have been assured that having the letter of release is sufficient not to have any problems when applying for work visas in the future. Any action taken now by the Office Manager ill be seen as post the event and be considered as purely spiteful and of no relevance.
I look forward to returning to China before April 2012 and will choose a less populated area to work. I have my sights already set on Inner Mongolia!!!
However you read into this account, please bear in mind that I could have been a damn sight more offensive with my comments, that I appreciate that this might sound like sour grapes and that each person and their experiences are individual and from their sometimes biased perspective. I have learnt a valuable lesson and will be much better prepared on my return suffice to say.

A few days ago I posted my near finished ROTJ Rifle in the blaster forums and it got me in the mood to finish my Helmet. Everything Going into this project was working on a budget of nothing. I found the brilliant cardboard helmet template by The Wizard of Flight on an instructables Tutorial.
I finished it yesterday after about a week of overall work (sans drying time/ getting frustrated about the dome and making other parts of the suit) I primed it this morning with car body filler to get rid of the glaring imperfections, but decided to keep it looking pretty rough, in keeping with the battered look of the helmet. Then I sprayed it with chrome as the first undercoat.
Thanks for all the templates and such, folks. More updates as I make it.

Modern Russia has long since distanced itself from its Communist past, but when it comes to issues of the military and wars, there still is a commitment to prove neighboring nations caused problems for the innocent Communist leaders. An article that appeared on the web site of the Defense Ministry claims that Poland is responsible for the outbreak of World War II because it forced Hitler to invade it. Prior to the German invasion, Hitler demanded that Poland turn over to him the major port of Danzig, and allow construction of a railroad and highway through Poland in order to link up with East Germany. "One can hardly call the first two demands ungrounded" wrote the Russian military writer.
Of course, what the author did not wish to discuss is the secret agreement made by Hitler with Communist dictator Joseph Stalin that, in effect, divided Poland between Russia and Germany. After Hitler invaded Poland, the Russian army moved in and took possession of eastern Poland. The article no doubt fits into Prime Minister Putin's desire to review what is printed in Russian textbooks and eliminate any "anti-Russian" comments.
Then again, all Hitler wanted was the western part of the Soviet Union so he could get access to food and oil supplies. "Germany's demands were pretty modest…"

Caught a Tagged Fish?
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) periodically tags fish for research purposes. Anglers who catch tagged fish are encouraged to return the tag or tag information to DNR. The information gathered is very valuable to help with research projects and management decisions.
Contact information is printed on the tag allowing you to provide information to DNR. Depending on the project, a reward is sometimes able to be offered for each tag returned. Consult the tag or call the number on the tag for details. When reporting a tagged fish the following types of information is needed:
In past years, some individuals have placed their own personal tags on fish which were then released. This activity has created confusion among anglers over the purpose for the tagging and the organization responsible for it. Tagging by an inexperienced person can result in the needless death of the fish. For these reasons, the Department of Natural Resources urges anglers not to tag fish in public waters.

Report poaching and wildlife violations. You can receive a cash reward if your tip leads to an arrest—even if you wish to remain anonymous.

Ok, I have addes the scratxhes and areas of my helmet so it looks like paint was chiped of metal. However, It now looks like a new helmet with paint chiped off. How do I make it look dirty and old?
It is a ROTJ helmet if that helps:fettrotj

Ok, I have addes the scratxhes and areas of my helmet so it looks like paint was chiped of metal. However, It now looks like a new helmet with paint chiped off. How do I make it look dirty and old?
It is a ROTJ helmet if that helps:fettrotj
There are several methods for doing this. One of the easiest is to used black,brown, and grey spraypaint and lightly mist over the helmet randomly creating a dingy, dirty look. This helps give the scratches that 'not so fresh' look.
You can also used crushed black, brown, and grey chalk pastels and dry brush them onto the helmet. You will need to give it another coat of dullcoat after you apply these to seal them onto the helmet.
Then there is the always tried and true dark 'wash' that can be applied. While I have never used this method, I believe you can find an explanation of how to accomplish this in Rogue Studios 'Paint List' Thread.
Yes, I'm also a fan of the powdered pastel method. I feel it gives me more control than a wash. I'd recommend practicing the technique first though. One of the keys to this method is to build up the colors slowly. It can give very subtle shifts in the overall appearance of your piece.
The misting method is great as well. I misted flat black over my chest/back armor to kind of tone down the appearance.
I prefer the wash approach using water based acrylics and a rag. That way if it's too heavy somewhere you can just use a little water to clean some off. Then when I'm happy with the look I seal it with dullcoat.
Mix a little black acrylic paint with some window cleaner in a spray bottle... and well, just spray it on and dab it around.
Also make sure the surface you putting the wash over is a flat finish. washes tend to bead up on glossy surfaces, like a car after it has been washed and you have those water beads all over it. The same thing will happen if a wash is done over a glossy surface.
Washes done over a flat surface will flow over it with a nice relativly even coverage that will not bead up. Then you can use a rag, brush, what ever to smear it around, remove some the wash to make it as grimmy as you want to.
Honestly, I think Im going to go with the chalk. I dont want to risk the fett, man, and I think the "close to real dirt approach will do well.
Ill post pics when I get to this step.

Hi there, Will there be any issues with uncapping and extracting or are you making honeycomb?
When you are looking at the frames for brood or honey are they more fragile than wax or plastic foundation? Do they wobble or break off or anything like that :?
Are these frames deeps or mediums? Are all your frames foundationless in the hive body? or do you alternate with foundations everyother frame.Greg Watkevich

"This announcement is beyond words, the quality of the paper and printing was excellent. I received so many compliments from family/friends and it didn't hurt to have a professional photographer upload the photos for a perfect Graduation announcement. I ordered the signature semi-glossy for an added touch. I was able to add the photos which told a story of my son's Senior Year of High School. I will definitely order again from Tiny Prints..."
"Love this invitation. We ordered this in the blue color. I ordered it for my daughters college graduation. It is so classic and even more beautiful in person that we're going to order matching accessories."
"The paper quality is what I expected for what I chose - I did not upgrade to the heavyweight paper but perhaps should have. Everyone has been very impressed with the look of the announcements and design of the front/back and coordinated envelopes. I found it easy to customize and order and received everything promptly and as expected. Highly recommend tinyprints!"
"I absolutely LOVED this card. It was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints - the order was delivered on time as stated and the results were beautiful! I used this as my son's graduation announcement. The only issue I had, and it was a very small issue, was the choice of text size on the initial at the top. I wanted to use something different at the top, but could not because it locks withing a certain font size range. The cards look AWESOME with the pearl paper - it is well worth the extra cost. I can't say enough about how pleased I was!"
"Loved these announcements! Great quality! I searched high and low for the perfect announcements for my husbands college graduation from med school. These were simple, modern, and perfect for my hubby!!!"

I thought the lessons were very helpful. They provided a good basis as a GMAT prep course. They also provided terrific strategies and approaches to the questions.
It was a good course to get started with studying for the GMAT. It gave good ideas on how to study for the test. And the grammar review was very helpful.
I was hesitant to take this course since it was on the Internet, but it turned out to be a very useful course and the Internet allowed me to be able to take the course when I had time to work with the material.
I just took the actual GMAT for the second time yesterday and I scored 170 points higher since taking this course! The first time to take it, I got lost finding the actual test center INSIDE the building, and was very stressed. This time around I did much better and was a lot less stressed and felt much more confident in myself. This course helped so much! Thanks and good luck to everyone!!
I just returned after finishing the GMAT - I got a 590! I'm very pleased with the result since I only had 5 weeks of preparation. Thank you to the Instructors for your help and guidance. Thanks to all my "classmates" and for posting your feedback and answers.

Well folks I was not happy with my armor, so with my friend Jon a SCA armor maker and fellow aircraft monkeywrench we completed the brand new Chest/collar and sleeve all made from thick Alluminum approx about as thick as a quarter. My Knee armor has also been reworked and I finally have my machined darts...(thanks for your help Chris) I think the armor is dead on and it took about 16 hours of shaping of the chest armor alone to get it right. I've also upgraded my Holsters and belt..it looks better but is not as practicle as my old one...I wish the poutches worked. New Reinone boots and blue gloves also.
The Jedi in the pic is my bud Ryan...who is also slowly starting a Jango costume.

Guys, just wanted to leave a good review of this guy, I recently received my armour and flak jacket from him. His communication throught the whole process was second to none, I am extremely happy with the purchases, the construction and paintjobs are really good. The only problem (not his fault) was the shipping time but if you were not in a major hurry for your purchases, it shouldn't be a problem for you.
Overall, a really good guy, would have no hesitation in buying from him again :cheers
