Arsène Wenger says Arsenal's attacking style of play has helped the team to achieve results on the road this season.
The Gunners are unbeaten on their travels in all competitions - and have won three of their opening five fixtures away from Emirates Stadium.
Wenger is happy with his side's performances so far and believes their sense of adventure has helped.
"The games are a bit more open and because we have a positive attitude away from home," he told Arsenal Player.
"Sometimes we take more advantage of our chances [on the road]. I'm very happy with the behaviour of the team, [be it] away from home or at home.
"Maybe [we've] played with less freedom at home - with a bit more pressure. Let's do well at Norwich, and I think that will put the team in a better position at home as well."

Live Fit Phase 3
Posted by Megan // Honey We're Home at 10:09 PM
7 comments:
Sounds like a great way to jump into the new year. So glad you're healed and back up and going!ReplyDelete
Amazing results Megan!ReplyDelete
You look incredible! I'm excited to read more!ReplyDelete
I'm starting the The Virgin Diet tomorrow--my trainer's recommendation. I've tried for several months to lose the last 10 pounds and lean out, much like you are doing, and I can't get my weight to budge. My trainer recommended JJ Virgin's book and everything I read made complete sense! So starting tomorrow, my trainer and I are BOTH starting the 21 day phase. I'm actually really excited! (and I plan to continue to work out and lift weights too.)
Amazing results! I started doing this program shortly after you posted about it - I have finished phase 2. My lifestyle won't allow the time needed for phase 3 (as is, I've had to improvise on the previous phases as I can only get to the gym 3 days/wk, but atleast I could do some of them at home), so I'm kind of at a standstill. I'm thinking of doing phase 2 still, and putting a little bit more into it. I'd love to hear of some other program options also.ReplyDelete
You look Great! Very inspiring :)ReplyDelete

I am planning to start jamie easons live fit. I have heard that when you finish the program, if you don't follow the rigeruos programs everyday and follow the diet plan you will gain weight back?ReplyDelete
Love this site!! I was wondering how you organized yourself during Live Fit-- meals, workouts, etc. I saw in one pic it looked like you have a binder?? (tots my style) I just started the program.ReplyDelete
Also, do you ever feel intimidated in the weight room? I find myself to usually be the only girl (and of course I am lifting like 10 lbs and wearing pink lululemon #sotough)
Thank you for taking the time to leave a message- I read every one! I try to respond to comments and answer questions here in the comments section, so please check back if you leave a question. Thanks for visiting!

I know what you're thinking - "Didn't I already read a blog with a similar title here?"
"it's deja vu all over again" - Yogi Berra (click the link for more fun Yogi quotes)
|The answer is yes, I did a related but different blog post with a similar title a few weeks back. At that time I was primarily highlighting a webinar that I co-presented with Keith Smith regarding the various virtualization solutions and features that are available in IBM Workload Deployer in virtual application patterns and virtual system patterns leveraging the Intelligent Management Pack (IMP). If you didn't get a chance to attend that webcast live then I encourage you to check out the replay (especially Keith's portion with details on IMP - a really helpful overview).
|This new blog post expands on the theme of that original blog post but takes a broader vision of where IBM has been with our private cloud offerings in WCA and IWD up to and including the recently announced IBM PureApplication System - and how this history demonstrates our leadership in supporting applications in the cloud.

text: You should go to a range that rents guns and shoot as many as you can. Be sure to write the pistol model on the target, distance you're shooting from. You should also note how the pistol felt, if you could reach all of the controls, how you liked the sights, etc........... I would not buy a pistol based on price and/or availability alone.

Received my 2nd order from Cal's this week. He has good prices on HK stuff - mags and parts and stuff.
I don't work for him, but thought I'd mention his site incase anyone needs some HK stuff. His site is at:
I like that they e-mail U with the tracking # when the item is shipped. And, if you get stuff delivered at a different address, like I do (I have them shipped to a relative who is home all day), you also get another e-mail telling you that the item has been delivered and signed for.

Senators: Thousands of Troops May Not Get to Vote
Thousands of military personnel may not get to vote in the presidential election because ballots have been delayed in reaching military voters stationed overseas, according to Republican lawmakers angry over what they call a "serious failure" of the Dept. of Defense to safeguard the voting rights of the military.
Sen. John Cornyn, (R-TX) said thousands of military voters could be disenfranchised as a result of the DoD's failure to modernize its system of getting ballots to troops.
"DoD's failure to fix this longstanding problem means that the blank ballots of thousands of overseas service members, as well as some who have recently returned from overseas, could be currently trapped in an archaic and inefficient mail forwarding system," Cornyn wrote in a letter to Sec. of Defense Leon Panetta. "These ballots are unlikely to reach these service members until after Election Day has passed."
Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), John McCain (R-AZ), Rob Portman (R-OH) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Cornyn in raising the issue. The lawmakers believe the impacts could be especially widespread this year – due to troop movements out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Federal Voting Assistance Program said in a statement they are researching the matter.
"FVAP is completely nonpartisan and works to ensure that service members are aware of their right to vote and have the tools and resources to do so — from anywhere in the world," FVAP Acting Director Pam Mitchell told Fox News.
Several families of service members serving overseas – and in the United States – contacted Fox News to express their concerns about voting problems.
Vickie Freel said her son, who is stationed at Pearl Harbor, never received his absentee ballot.
"I am so frustrated and angry about this," Freel told Fox News. "There is something very wrong when anyone in our military is not afforded the same rights as the average citizen."
Michael Boynton's son is serving in the U.S. Army — in A fghanistan.
"He said they gave out the ballots and before they could do anything — like mark them, they were ordered to return them," Boynton told Fox News. "He said they were told the ballots were incorrect — but they were never given the so-called corrected ballots."
That was five weeks ago — and as of today those soldiers have not been given new ballots, he said.
Boynton said his son, who is in the Army, had a chance to look at the disputed ballots and they seemed correct.
He said it's an outrage that his son and other members of the military may not be able to vote.
"As a parent I find this appalling and unconstitutional," he said. "Not to allow our men and women who are putting their lives in danger on a daily basis to vote?"
Boynton placed the blame on the Obama Administration.
"Our troops do not believe President Obama is a strong commander or leader," he said.
Even more disappointing for the proud military father — the 2012 presidential election would have been a landmark moment in his 21-year-old son's life.
"This would have been the first time for our son to have voted," Boynton said.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by jammertime, Jun 11, 2008.
You mean like candles?
No, I think he means you should play in one of those money leagues.
I'm starting to think this isn't going to be my year... Last week I played against Turner and Barber who scored 4 TD's and 261 yards between them - this week they combined for ZERO and 92. Now this week Brett Favre, a dinosaur who has played for 20 years goes for a career high 6 TD's!!! WTF is up with that? My team is better than 1-3, I just wanna know when it's going to be my turn to have some luck.
Your turn for luck comes when you get to play Laimbeer's llamas. My team was playing way over it's head. I was 3-0 before falling apart this week. I predicted 5 wins total and I'm sticking with that.
Man, if I had a nickel for everytime a llama was underestimated....
Die Webz Die !
Hey Webz, is there a hold-up on my trade ?
Yea, Commish, better approve this thing before I realize that I'm getting swindled...
That trade involving the commish sure seemed to go through fast...
Beer you're too deep at RB
Sorry guys, I didn't realise I had to manually process each trade. The message said the trade will automatically be processed after 2 days. I will process tonight so you can use the players this week. I thought that was just for me, not the commish. Looks like I can't change the option either. So I guess from now on for future trades I will wait 2 days to allow either side to change their mind, then I will process. Do you remember how you did things Jammer?
Nooooooooooo. Never Never Never allow one or both sides to change their mind. The waiting period is for the rest of the league to veto or voice complaints. Once you enter into an agreement it's binding.
I don't remember having to do anything for trades. That might have had something to do with the way it was setup. I don't know. I've only been a commissioner once, so I'm not really sure. I agree with that. I'm also not a big fan of vetoing trades either. Unless it was CLEARLY foul play, even if the trade appears lopsided, if it is done in good faith, I feel that it should always stand.
Right. When you set up the league, you chopose between Commish approval or league approval. I always put it on the league. Like Jammer, I don't ever like vetoes based on stupidity of managers. If it's good faith it stands. Collusion is another matter entirely...
There isn't much to "process" a trade. The Commissioner just clicks a button that says "Approve Trade". As the baseball Commissioner this past summer, I only waited a single day for trades. If no one objected, I just clicked the "Approve Trade" button. I don't see the need to prolong trades if it is obvious there is no corruption going on.
Ah yes, I think I remember selecting that now. As you said, I don't really like the idea of vetoing trades either which must be why I set it to Commish. But I didn't realise that would mean I'd have to APPROVE every one. I mistakingly thought people could cancel a trade once it was accepted, but I was thinking of being able to cancel proposals. Thanks for helping me clear this up. Going forward I will still allow 2 days from when the trade is accepted by both sides to processing it, which will allow any unhappy managers to express any concerns.
Yep, I am aware of the button, I just don't have access to Yahoo at work, sorry Bill. As for the 2 days, I decided to just allow the default time to avoid any potential hassles.
Sounds good. It's been almost 3 days now, though.....
Yes I'm sorry about that. Won't happen again. You'll have your guy available for this weekend.
No problem Webz. Football is the 1 sport where the delay won't have any impact.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The University of Miami recorded a department-wide school-record Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 93 percent, according to the rates released Thursday by the NCAA.
As a department, Miami's 93 percent GSR ranks fourth among ACC schools and is eighth overall among FBS schools. Overall, the University of Miami athletic department has improved from 77 to 93 percent from 2005 to 2012, a year after UM student-athletes posted a then-record 89 percent GSR in 2011. UM has exceeded the NCAA average GSR in each of the last eight years.
"Congratulations to our Hurricane Family," Associate AD for Academic Services David Wyman said. "I am so proud of the performance and development of our student-athletes as they have become national leaders in collegiate academic success with these remarkable results.
"Their excellence is due to the tremendous support they receive from our President, Provost, the administration, our outstanding faculty, academic services and coaching staff," Wyman said.
Six UM teams compiled GSR marks of 100 percent; men's diving and golf posted its eighth consecutive perfect GSR mark, while women's tennis recorded its fifth straight GSR score of 100 percent. Also adding perfect GSR scorers were women's rowing, women's swimming and volleyball.
Volleyball posted a perfect score for the second consecutive year, while both rowing and women's swimming set program-record highs for GSR.
"To set a school-best GSR in each of the last two years is a major accomplishment for our program," Interim Director of Athletics Blake James said.
Football jumped six points from 88 to 94 in 2012, tying for the highest GSR score among ACC schools and third-highest GSR score among FBS schools and improving by 27 points (67 to 94) from 2010. Baseball had the largest jump of any UM program, improving by 20 points (60 to 80).

"It shows the dedication of our student-athletes academically and the commitment to academic excellence from our coaches and our academic support staff," James said. "To be among the nation's best in GSR is a crowning achievement and we look forward to maintaining our position as one of the truly special academic and athletic intercollegiate programs."
The NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) was developed in response to college and university presidents who wanted graduation data that more accurately reflect the mobility among college students today. Both rates improve on the federally mandated graduation rate by including students who were omitted from the federal calculation.
The GSR measures graduation rates at Division I institutions and includes students transferring into the institutions. The GSR also allows institutions to subtract student-athletes who leave their institutions prior to graduation as long as they would have been academically eligible to compete had they remained.
The most recent Division I Graduation Success Rates are based on the four entering classes from 2002-2003 through 2005-06. More than 110,000 student-athletes are included in the most recent four classes using the GSR methodology, as compared to about 79,500 in the federal rate. The NCAA began compiling these figures with the entering freshmen class of 1995.

There is so much OUTRAGE over the Casey Anthony not guilty verdict. People are furious that the jury acquitted her. One restaurant owner in Florida has gone as far as banning members of the jury from his restaurant. I wrote a blog about this because there seems to be a huge misunderstanding about the U.S. trial system and the way it is designed to work. It's not about justice for the victim - it's about protecting the rights of the accused and I'm glad.It's well thought out and carefully guarded so that an innocent person isn't wrongly imprisoned. Read it - it's worth knowing about.
If you want to be angry, be mad that the State of Florida brought the case to trial, spending nearly 1,000,000 of tax payer money to do so, without enough tangible evidence for the jury to convict based on the charges against the accused. As much as we may all think that Casey had something to do with Caylee's death, she can't be convicted on suspicion.
Views: 3
I agree that the justice system should protect the rights of the accused but there have been many convictions that were made on way less circumstantial evidence than what they presented. The biggest one: duct tape around the face. Exactly why would a child who "drowned" in the family pool have duct tape on her face. Were they playing a game of "kidnapped victim" when she fell in? And what about other things they could have convicted her for? Like how can you not know where your child is for 31 days and not say anything to anyone? Isn't that considered child abuse or endangerment? Or the fact that the supposed baby sitter didn't even know who Casey was. The evidence was more than adequate; the jury was just weak and now a murderer who's planning to get "reconstructive" surgery and a different hair color so people can't recognize her is on the loose and probably will get pregnant again. I guess if another child suffers Caley's fate in a few years and a red red that eerily resembles Casey is standing trial for it, maybe THEN the jury will have the guts to do the right thing. Or maybe they will again put HER rights above her child's life.

The slab, donated by stonemason and artist Richard Williamson, is about three metres high and weighs 870 kilograms. Its wavy bands of red jasper and brown iron oxides record the rise of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere.
About 2.7 billion years ago, the first oxygen-producing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) completely transformed the Earth by releasing oxygen during photosynthesis. Over hundreds of millions of years, this oxygen reacted with the iron that was dissolved in the ocean, forming solid iron oxides and silica which settled on the ocean floor. It was only once all the iron precipitated out of the oceans that oxygen began to build in the atmosphere, and the Earth became habitable for multicellular life forms like us. There is, however, approximately 20 times more oxygen within the banded iron formations than is present in the atmosphere today.

This piece of banded iron formed about 2.5 billion years ago in the area that is now the Pilbara in Western Australia. It was subsequently buried and metamorphosed, or transformed under extreme pressure, changing the minerals and creating the folds and waves of its layers. Among the red bands of fine-grained silica called jasper, and black layers of iron oxide, you can see shimmery yellow lines of tiger-eye, a fine-grained quartz that has replaced a fibrous mineral.

Banded iron is the major source of the world's iron ore. Most of these large iron ore deposits formed between 2.5 and 1.8 billion years ago. It is mined and fed into blast furnaces to extract the metal. This piece escaped that fate because of its unusual beauty and size; it is rare to find such a large piece that has no veins of quartz, which often cause fractures. The rock, once a huge boulder, was extracted from the Ord Ridley Ranges, cut in Perth and polished in Adelaide.

Installing such a huge specimen was quite a feat. In the wall behind the rock, steel supports and counterweights hold it securely in place. Bringing it into the gallery took a team of people and a forklift designed to lift and move concrete slabs for building construction. The crew brought the slab in on an A-frame trolley, lifted it, and inched it carefully into its specially-designed support brackets.
And yes, you can touch it!

James Shields and B.J. Upton: A glove story
ORLANDO – When I visited the Kansas City Royals' camp last month, right-hander James Shields surprised me by pulling a glove out of his locker that had the inscription, "Bossman Jr."
Bossman Jr.? That's B.J. Upton's nickname (Upton's father, Manny, is Bossman). What the heck was Shields' doing with Upton's glove?
"I break in all his gloves for him," Shields said, smiling. "I texted him the other day: 'What are you going to do without me?'"
The glove story dates back to when Shields and Upton were minor leaguers with the Tampa Bay Rays. Shields, 31, and Upton, 28, both were drafted by the Rays, and played together at Double A and Triple A.
Now, for the first time, they are in different organizations.
Upton signed a five-year, $75.25 million free-agent contract with the Atlanta Braves on Nov. 29, and the Rays traded Shields to the Royals 10 days later.
"Every year when I came in, I would take my gloves out of my lockers and give them straight to him," Upton recalled. "He would give them back to me a week before the season started. I kind of miss him right now."
Shields joked that he had an ulterior motive for taking such good care of Upton's gloves, saying, "That way, I knew he was going to catch it."
As for the glove in his locker, Shields said he had kept one of Upton's discards to use as his "shagging glove" with the Royals.
"We went golfing this off-season," Shields said. "He was like, 'What am I going to do without you? I'm going to have send gloves to your clubhouse so you can break 'em in.' I said, 'I'll break 'em in after the second road trip of the year when I face you.'"
It's true: The Braves host the Royals on April 16-17.

I guess I was a little surprised reading the snowflakes thread with a lot of ppl more down on the M defense than I was. They gave up 23 points, 3 fgs included. Most of the game we rushed 4 guys against a 6 man O line. Few teams in the country are gonna generate a good rush off that. Our LBs looked to be 6-7 yards past the los, pretty much conceding a 5 yard ND rush. Playing with 2 deep safeties as well most of the time. NDs RB, i forget his name, had great burst, which I think ND RBs have lacked in recent years. I didn't like how we clearly telegraphed our 4 man rushes too many times. Ramon Taylor had a good game, tackling machine.My bottom line point is this was totally bend don't break game plan for the defense. With our alignments, I don't see how ppl could think the defense could do a whole lot better than what they did.

I already find a lot of schools in Thailand but I dont know which school would be the best to get good qualification...I would like to go to a school where I get a good certificate and afterwards I could get a good job.
My other problem would be that I am not native English speaker so do you think it would be a problem in finding a job after finishing the course?
I have a tiny other issue also..my boyfriend would came with me but he would not intend the class..do you think there is any chance in finding a job for him (any sort of job somewhere in the area..???

They come in the evening to drag away asylum seekers who arrive in England as a refuge from oppressive regimes back home. The oppressed of the world have come to England which historically has given refuge to such asylum seekers as Karl Marx, but modern England is a society obsessed with fears of security and willing to place innocent humans in the position of somehow being connected to terrorism. Maud Lennard had escaped from Ziimbabwe where she has opposed the brutal Robert Mugabe regime, but to the British security people who boarded her plane bound for the safety of Malawi, she was just another security risk. Ms. Lennard had been on a 53 day hunger strike to avoid being deported back to Zimbabwe, she had paid a bribe to get a passport to Malawi, but to British security agents, they would not allow her even that refuge. They came on the plane, beat her, called her a dirty black pig, and warned, "You don't belong to malawi, you don't belong to Zimbabwe, and the next time we are going to book you on BA and take you to Congo Kinshasha where we can kill you."
The people of Great Britain are world renowned for their willingness to assist political and social outcasts, but something is happening to this once great nation, something is eating at its soul, and that something is fear, fear of terrorism, fear of the unknown, and fear to be a refuge for those in desperate need of a place where they can escape beatings. Shame on the socialist government of England.

Tubed bottom boards are similar in principle to the slatted rack. The tubes line up with the frames and everything that falls slides into the gap between the tubes and frames. Aimed primarily at Varroa mites dropping to their starvation, it is challenging and expensive to make. If it could be mass produced it would replace the screened bottom board. The gap between the tubes is large enough for debris and mites to fall through and bees do not
I think if you look at Brians description,he has built basically whats pictured. He put hardware cloth on the bottom and eliminated the bottom board.

Discussion in 'March 2008' started by Dlev59, Mar 18, 2008.
I saw you. Who was that idiot Cavs fan who thought that wasn't a D-Brown push-off?
Great recap! Glad you had a great time.
Couple of other observations... - Prince couldn't get around LBJ like he has been getting around other defenders lately. Couple of times early he tried to drive and ended up shooting four or five feet further out than usual, and missing. - Ben still has some serious one-on-one moxie left in him. He kept Sheed off balance all night and by and large completely took his post game away. Nobody had to try and double and all the Pistons' shooters stayed covered. Maybe Sheed was having one of his lackadaisical nights, maybe Ben just made it look that way.
Sheed is a little bit like the bully who backs down when he's confronted. He'll talk all day long when he's beating up on a weak defender, but when someone like Ben stands up to him, it's 3-point city.
You must remember, those two have faced each other in practice several times I`m sure. I would say Ben knows Sheed probably better than any other defender in the league, giving him an advantage. However, Sheed is talented enough where I don`t think Ben would actually shut him down. Slow him down perhaps. That would be a nice matchup in the playoffs, stay tuned!!!!!!
He does enjoy beating up weak defenders, but still, it isn't all that often you see him just taken out of the post game by someone other than himself. When the game turned last night in the last half of the second, he was 1-4 inside the arc and 0-2 outside, and my recollection is that Ben had a lot to do with that. Of course, Sheed's 1-6 exactly matched the rest of the team's shooting so there is some blame to go around.
Billups talked about how the team got static and settled for jumpers as the problem. If that is so easy to recognize why don't they do something about it? That is what kills us in nearly every loss and in the playoffs. Shouldn't they have a plan ready when they see this happening? When something is clearly going wrong, why wouldn't they change it.
He pushed off on Sheed, right? Anyway Sheed or whoever was being pushed off was between us and D-Brown so that you couldn't see what happened until they showed the replay. It was funny though because even after the replay there was a buncha whinin' all around us and I was demonstrating out loud how he was clearing out with his arm, and all the while my wife was shooshing me for fear of the Cavs fans turning on me. I said I didn't care, I had the rulebook on my side. That guy and his wife actually talked to us for a few minutes after the game and we had a decent discussion about the current playoff seeding and how Detroit was in a good spot right now. They even wished my wife a happy birthday. All in all my experience as a fan of the opposing team was pretty positive - though this was a regular season game.
Billups phrases it like it was something the Pistons were doing rather than something that was being done to them. Did they "get static" or did the Cavs not let them run free and make cuts, shut off penetration, etc.?
It was interesting in the pre-game when they asked Ben how do you beat the Pistons. He said there are two specific keys: 1. Do not let Rip going early. 2. Attack Sheed. Make him use energy defensively.
Looks like we need to hire Ben as an assistant coach when he retires and replace Flip with the Fox's Charley Rosen who was able point out all of the Pistons flaws as well punctuate what we should have done to attack Labrons lack of defense.
Thats funny. Yes I do believe it comes along with the contract. Too bad we could not have thrown a young althletic offensive rebounder out there as thats what gives Ben trouble. Well I guess we did for 4 mins. Also the Cavs were only 5-5 in their last 10 going into this so its not like they have been burning up the league since the trade. The Pistons swept the seasonal series last year and look how much of a difference that made in the playoffs.
If i do my math right, the Pistons did not win in Chicago until Ben left. Pistons called it buddy ball. Ben is with the cav's. Buddy ball had a lot to do with this loss. The post season is where the Buddy ball ended. Hopefully that will be the case in the Post season. I would like to see "Buddy Ball" gone in the last to games. I agree with the bad coaching as well. When he saw the starters were not going to compete, he should have cleared the bench.
This is the game that sealed the fate of the Pistons: NBA ECF runner ups! Why? 1. They are the "Butch from the Little Rascals" of the NBA. And without Ben, now everyone knows it. If it wasnt for the fact that Howard doesnt have a Rick Mahorn on his team yet (i.e. maxiel, Blount, Perkins) the Magic would beat us , too. No way this team beats Boston or Cleveland. 2. Our coach is a wimpy sissy and other 'coaches' know it. There is nothing Flip will do to fire up or SCARE this team into winning. It 'really' is like when it gets tight, Billups just does what he feels and SHEED doesnt even listen yo Chauncey. We won a championship and made the finals backtoback because of LB and LB only...and these airheads just dont get it. 3. This team NEEDS Ben Wallace. Sheed needs him. McDyess needs him. They lost their identity when they lost him. Replacing him with a slamdunking Maxiel is not and does not change a truth. sighhhh...
What this team needs is a new coach and to a lesser degree Amir Johnson. It was so obvious we were winning with him and partly Aaron in the line-up. The PHO/UTAH game were two good contrasting examples. I know that once it got closer to the PO's or the PO's, the rotation would shrink, and Flip being the idiot that he is would not realize which players were critical to our success. It's not suprising anymore, but still as frustrating. Someone in the Pistons org. needs to personally call LB so he can whip some "right way" back into this team. The more i see AA sit on the bench while Flip struggles to find a back-up SG, the more irritated i get. I just don't want to watch our "big games" anymore.
Amir has now surpassed Chauncey Billups in terms of +/- while on the court (per given time period). So, we have officially done better with Amir on the court than any other individual player. We foul way more when Amir is out there, but we block 11% of the shots and hold our opponent to an unusually low FG%. This is where stats are useful. Coaches notice the cons of the young player, but they don't see that the pros more than make up for it.
It makes it harder to challenge what SOMEONE is doing if they can play it off that their actions are what EVERYONE does or would do. Almost as bad as the fans who 99% of the time use "We" when their team is wining and go with "They" when things are bad.
Yep we've sucked against every team I'd consider an excellent defensive team with the exception of SAS and they were sans Bowen for one of the 2 games. That was my mailbag ?/statement for Langlois.
wow i've never thought of that, but i bet i've been guilty of it. definitely something to pay attention to in the future.
I wasn't singling you out and it's only natural. One, just has to try to say "We" after a loss and "They" after a win, if one isn't going to be very consistent with either using always "We" or "they".

Discussion in 'January 2008' started by max, Jan 10, 2008.
That's deep, Roscoe.
I have a simplistic observation. In big games when the Pistons punch the other team in the nose in the first quarter, they win . When they get punched, they lose.
How about this - when Lindsey plays in big games they win. When he doesn't - they lose.
That observation is true for the last 2 games, but I don't think it holds up much after that.
Actually pretty much the opposite was true in the two Boston games so far. The Pistons took advantage of KG's foul trouble to pile on a big lead in the first quarter at the Palace, but still lost that game. And though I didn't see the first half of the game at the Garden, I remember Boston being ahead at halftime, but the Pistons came back to win.
I only saw bits and pieces of this one. Looked like the Pistons played pretty good team D. Sheed was great, just great. Barkley made an interesting comment at halftime, talking about how Sheed could be the best player in the NBA if he had the "killer instinct" of a Larry Bird or Magic Johnson. All the other tools are there. Barkley kept saying that Sheed can post up and shoot the three. "No other 7-footers can do that in our league."
Bargnani could do it if he played Pistons 82 games a year.

Our Best Bar Cookies
Salted Caramel, Chocolate and Peanut Cracker-Stack Bars [1]
These fantastic potluck bars come from Patrice Hurd of Bemidji, Minnesota. She won the grand prize in our 2012 Best of the Midwest® Recipe Contest. Patrice says they're a twist on her grandmother's cracker bars. They cut beautifully and brim with salty-sweet-nutty-chocolately flavor.
Maple-Walnut Banana Bars [5]
The math on these homey bars couldn't be simpler: one pan, one ripe banana and less than one hour from start to finish.
Caramel Heavenlies [9]
Graham crackers form the base for this bar cookie with layers of marshmallows, brown sugar, almonds and coconut. "I've made these cookies since 1984," says Georgine Simmonds of Genesee, Michigan. "They're one of my family's favorites."

Scrumptious Seven-Layer Cookies [13]
These rich bar cookies star among the sweets at Stafford's Bay View Inn in Petoskey, Michigan. Mix and match among your favorite treats for some of the layers to create a dessert that's just right for your family.
Apricot-Rosemary Streusel Bars [17]
A rich, fruity filling bakes in a rosemary-infused crust, then gets drizzled with a powdered sugar icing.
Peanut Butter Chip and Jelly Bars [21]
The flavor of these bars from Connie Siegel of Wisconsin will take you right back to your school lunchroom! If you don't like grape jelly, strawberry would work well, too.
Gooey Pecan Pie Bars [25]
These sweet, nutty and oh-so-buttery bars are a guaranteed showstopper on any cookie tray.
Gooey Pecan Pie Bars [26]
Cranberry Candy-Bar Cookies [29]
These gooey bar cookies start with a German chocolate cake mix. Melted caramels and cranberry sauce form a moist middle layer.
Caramel and Chocolate Kettle-Corn Crispie Bars [33]
These bars, from Judy Reynolds of Bloomington, Indiana, won the grand prize of $10,000 in Midwest Living's first Best of the Midwest cook-off. Judy started with a Hoosier staple--popcorn--and stirred together these sweet-salty snack bars. Homemade caramel sauce helps makes them a standout.
Toffee Blondies [37]
Toffee pieces give a sweet twist to classic blonde brownies in this simple, crowd-pleasing recipe.
Toffee Blondies [38]
Maple Nutty Candy [41]
These bar cookies combine four winning flavors: peanut butter, maple, butterscotch and chocolate. The easy recipe, from a Wabash, Indiana, reader, makes about 6 pounds of bar candy. We suggest freezing the bars and thawing them out as needed.
Maple Nutty Candy [42]
Luscious Lemon Bars [45]
Sweet and tart, these moist, powdered sugar-topped classics will disappear fast at a potluck.

Triple Peanut Butter Streusel Bars [49]
Dry-roasted peanuts, peanut butter-flavored pieces and peanut butter bring triple flavor to this make-ahead bar cookie.
Cherry Crumble Pie Bars [53]
Zesty lemon peel adds zing to this fruit bar cookie; almond extract and brown sugar give it extra sweetness.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bars [57]
Peanut butter and chocolate meet for a sweet treat in this recipe from a Cedarburg, Wisconsin, reader who likes to make these bar cookies for potluck gatherings.
Butterscotch Pretzel Bars [61]
This sweet-salty dessert goes together quickly with a no-bake bottom and a topping of butterscotch pieces and whipping cream heated on the stove.
Candy Bar Cookies [65]
These gooey bite-size treats feature a creamy mixture of chocolate pieces, butterscotch pieces and peanut butter over a cooked oatmeal-brown sugar layer. The recipe is from a Madison, Wisconsin, reader, who likes to take the bar cookies to potluck gatherings.

Date-Orange Bars [69]
Date-nut desserts can be cloyingly sweet, but orange juice brightens these simple bars.

Chocolate and peanut butter bars [73]
Chocolate and peanut butter naturally complement each other in these three bar cookie recipes. The Eagle Ridge Inn and Resort near Galena, Illinois, combines the flavors to make the candylike Hallelujah bars (left).
A Wisconsin reader sent us the recipe for Peanut Butter Fingers, which have rolled oats in addition to peanut butter and semisweet chocolate pieces. They're a great sweet ending to entrees and salads on a potluck table.
Merry Marshmallow Bars come from a Decorah, Iowa, reader, who combines semisweet chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallows for an easy-to-fix bar cookie that kids love.

Danish Pastry Apple Bars and more [79]
This recipe for Danish Pastry Apple Bars comes from an Indiana teacher who discovered these treats in a student's lunch box years ago. The student's family was happy to share the recipe; the results taste almost like apple pie.
After-School Apple Bars has a similar origin: A Michigan reader began making these when her son brought the recipe home from school. His third-grade teacher owned an orchard, and the class made this recipe after a bountiful apple harvest.
Frosted Apple-Pie Bars comes from a South Dakota reader who includes apples, sugar, cornflakes and spices in her filling.

Pool gates open, Isa kids left without coaches
23 January 2013 , 11:29 AM by Emma Cillekens
"The bottom line is that the pool will stay open."
That's according to the Mayor of Mount Isa who made the statement following heated discussions in a council meeting where councillors considered a motion to close the city's pool for two days.
The managers of Splashez Aquatic Centre asked to close the pool so they could accompany 14 children to a state swimming carnival next month.
Brian and Bernadette Rodriquez will now stay to keep the pool open, a decision made by the management company of the pool in consultation with the Mount Isa City Council.
It's a ruling they're not all that happy about.
"It's an unfortunate situation that's occurred,"
"If we were just the coaches it wouldn't be an issue, but I suppose this has arisen because we run the facility and we do the coaching."
If the pool had closed it would have stopped the Broncos and Cowboys doing training sessions before and after their pre-season game in Mount Isa on February 9.

20 Long Rock Pile...V2...Now with Nano!
Some of you followed my other thread on this tank here- http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/ta...ml#post1587111
I decided to start a new thread because my original goal of this tank was scraping together to make a pretty low tech tank. You can see the specs but it was basically some old lighting, some HOB's and a $20 20 long. Even the substrate was recycled from old tanks. This tank was hidden away in my bedroom and really nobody ever saw it. I also am a super light sleeper and the filters often kept me up at night so I was constantly turning them off.
At the same time, I had a 29 gallon with all the nice stuff. It was also in my recording studio which gets quite a bit of visitors. I had a really nice scape at one point but ever since that crashed, I could never get it to look nice. I had a variety of issues with each progression, some I could figure out, some still leave me clueless. My soil went anaerobic and I decided to combine the two. I took the equipment from my 29 and moved in my 20 long.
I had put my filter and CO2 on this tank in my room at the end of my journal but I really didn't have the space for it. Hence the V2.
If you followed my last journal, you know that whatever belem type grass I have is growing really slowly, even under CO2. It has barely quadrupled in size in over 6 months. I did realize a few days ago that my bulbs were probably well over their useful life but I did put some DHG in and that grew more than the entire growth of my belem in about a week if not less. I don't know if it will continue to be an issue. If it is, I now am committed to switching now that the tank is on display. I will give it some time but I will use some HC most likely if it doesn't work out. It's frustrating because the only thing I have yet to have trouble with is carpet plants, even with no CO2.
Moving on...
Tank-AGA 20 Long, Top Derimmed
Substrate-Fluorite Black and Fluorite Black Sand mixed together
Lighting-Aquaticlife T5HO 4x24watt, 13 inch over tank for now, final position to be determined.
Filter-Eheim 2215 with 2217 impeller
CO2-20lb CO2 tank, generic beverage regulator, fabco needle valve, JBL style bubble counter, GLA Atomic inline diffusor, Cal Aqua Labs Drop Checker
Ferts-Fountain pump autodosing system using EI method
Heater-Aquaclear 100 watt (likely to be replaced with inline or made into DIY inline)
Other-Have a 9 watt UV that isn't plumbed. I may plumb it in or buy extra quick disconnects so I can plumb it in as needed on this tank and another with same tubing size.
I also will likely get some Lily Pipes. I am thinking going cheap but AFA isn't too far away so I can see what I am getting. My outflow is pretty sketchy right now lol.
Rocks I bought at a rock yard that I found in a rock pile that I bought and arranged into a smaller rock pile
RCS. I may add fish. I am thinking about adding guppies or rummy nose tetras after shrimp are established. If I go with fish, it's going to be personality/behavior over "curb appeal" most likely. I like guppies for their "goofy" behavior. I have never owned rummy nose tetras but love the way they school. I don't know if they will school well in a tank this size though. Cardinals are a possibility too as they are one of my favorites. I have bought plenty of fish because I liked how they looked only to be bored. I may fall in love with something else though.
Some sort of belem that grows hell of slow.
Some sort of red plant that grows low and slow that is common but i don't know the name.
As said, I may go a different route if the grass doesn't start growing. I am not willing to be patient any more. HC is likely but I may keep the belem and even add other plants to the foreground as long as they look attractive when trimmed.
Here are some pics, nothing new to those who followed my last journal, some things shifted around slightly but it doesn't bug me. One thing that is cool is my foam core background was back lit before. I was planning on doing it again but it looks back lit from the raised light but with a cool gradient. It picks up the blue from my 10k bulb in the morning, pinkish red from my rosette bulb at night, and a cool combination of both when they overlap for my noon burst.
This is what I see from my chair height:
This is how it looks standing up:
Beautiful; I look forward to seeing how this tank progresses!
What really intrigues me is the background lighting on the tank. I don't see that done very often.
I like guppies too; I have some now. I don't keep them with my shrimp, since they go after the smaller ones
How do you feel about the structural integrity of the tank without the rim?
I am very confident with the structural integrity of the tank. This one has been derimmed for at least 6 months. I have another 20 long with the top derimmed that has been going for almost 2 years at my girlfriends apartment. Many people have derimmed the entire tank. I have two reasons for not doing so. First, I never took any substrate out of this tank. Second, I was afraid it may end up looking worse with the bottom seems since they are pretty sloppy.
That said, would I do it again, probably not. It's a bunch of work. Getting the actual rim off is not the hard part. It's getting the silicone under it off. On my other 20 long, I did everything as best I could and it took me at least 10-15 hours total. On this, I have only done the front well and that took me 5 hours. I got most of it off the sides and back but it doesn't have a "finished" look to it.
Instead I would buy one that is already rimless. It's quite a bit more, especially if you are comparing it to the Petco $1 per gallon sale but only slightly more than x2 the regular retail of a 20 long. With the amount of work it takes, I would rather just spend the money and have it right than do a bunch of work and still have the sloppy seems on the side, and the bottom if you do the bottom. A member says where he got his here- http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/1773976-post8.html
Looks nice, what is the on the background? Is it just a box? Can you take a photo of how your light it set up? Is it a DIY hanging light?
As for hanging my light...the way I did it is not how I recommend. I have to work around things people normally would not. I have acoustic panels all over my room and continue to add them as I have time/money. I needed something that didn't take up wall space and the ceiling was out of the question. I used copper pipe. I drilled holes in the end caps and used sheet rock anchors to hold them in. This light is heavy so I had to add some support.
My light has a hanging kit available which would look better than the chain I am using as well but I was under the impression it came with it. I just have not got around to buying it. That would also clean things up.
I would recommend you hang it from the ceiling for the cleanest look. You can also use shelf brackets or brackets for hanging plants if you use the wall. Both will be stronger than what I have and look better. Again, I didn't have that option as I will eventually have a panel right above where the pipe is.
However, here is a picture:
Thanks for the information. Your setup looks really nice. I've been trying to find ideas of how to hang my light since my ceilings are made of those little sandy dots that falls off when you touch or hit it I can't do any ceiling mounts.
My tank is on one of those 4 tier aluminum stand and right now I am just using the highest tier for the light. I just put my light above the 4th shelf and my tank on the 3rd shelf.
If you plan to use a single, traditional stand, you can go a different route. It's commonly called an "ADA style light bar". This is something that would attach directly to your stand, not a wall or ceiling. You may be able to adapt this to your setup as well. Here is a link to Tom Barr's version- http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/di...hqi-cheap.html
I was going to do that but I couldn't afford the pipe bender at the time. Some people have been able to have it bent up for them at the hardware store for free but none around here will do it for me (well, many would if they had a pipe bender handy). Some people will buy the pipe bender, be very careful, use it once, and take it back. For me, it's super hard for me to return tools so I just tried my own way.
Their are many ways, again, my way isn't how I would recommend, it just makes sense given the constraints of a home recording studio and the acoustic panels that come with it. If I did it again, I would go with an ADA style light bar.
Gorgeous scape.
Question...Does Fissidens fontanus attach to everything like Java Moss? I am thinking about making little "bushes" by attaching it to little 1 inch pieces of gravel outside. I don't want it to attach to the substrate though as that bugs me. The only thing that is worse than algae is unwanted moss that attaches to everything and anything.
Also, if you are in the (925) area and want a free 29 gallon, PM me. I put it on craigslist for money but am not getting responses so if someone here gets to me first, it's yours. It has a few scratches and unfortunately one right in front in the middle but it's free. It didn't bother me but if it bothers you, make a farm tank.
Thanks for the details! Very nice set-up.
To my knowledge, fissidens grows rather slowly so it probably wont overtake your tank.
Also, it seems to really like high lighting and nutrients
I do have more light than would ever be reasonable if I lowered the light down to the rim. 98 watts of T5HO with decent reflectors. I can dose as much as I want. I will likely wait for the foreground to grow in before I try.
That said, although I lost some of my belem (which was growing terribly slow before I switched things up), it's growth has noticeably improved in the last few days. I am guessing it was my light because I did have the same CO2 and filter setup for at least a month or two and it didn't seem to do a whole lot over no co2 and HOB filters. I lowered my light 2 inches which may be too much, I will see on Sunday or Monday when I am home. I don't know why but I like to make lighting changes when I am not going to be home. I guess it gives me enough time to see my mistakes lol.
So, not too much of an update. I was inspired by some of the journals on the board where people did some "personalization" to fit the decor of their room. It doesn't show up well in the photos but I covered the sides and top of my background with the same fabric I have on my acoustic panels. It really isn't much but took me about an hour. It looks much better, trust me. I want to do the top on the back piece soon but I don't know how to do it as the panel has warped a bit.
I also decided to put my back light in, or more so mock it up. It isn't mounted, just kind of wedged in. It looks really blue in the picks but it's really more pink as it has a 6500k and a rosette bulb. I would love to go with a two 10,000k bulbs or a 10,000k and antic but I am not really ready to shell out $40 in bulbs for a background. I may have a friend try to airbrush a sky with some light blue and clouds and use the 6500k bulbs I have. I may try to do a gradient myself but I feel like I will mess it up. I don't want to spend money printing a background as of yet.
Lastly, it looks like I have less plants. I was evening out the slope and burried some. Didn't feel like dealing with it. My belem is growing much more quickly under this fixture however. I don't want to say it's going to fill in quickly but it will be much more quickly than my other light in my last journal. I need to trim down the red plants (don't know the name off the top of my head) as well.
Anyway, some back light pics. I don't know why I love back lighting so much but it's really cool looking IMO. I will have it come on a few hours before and after my lights.
talontsiawd I noticed you got that Mini Channel mixer on ur shelf, is that an Akai?
