Discussion in '2008 Playoffs' started by Dlev59, May 11, 2008.
that pass by stuckey to prince had me out of my chair
Agreed. That was a thing of beauty. On the replay, you could clearly see Stuckey looking back at Turkoglu to see if he would try and double. As soon as he did, he kicked it back to Tay for the wide open 3. That was definitely pre-meditated. I was impressed with how calm and cool Stuckey was in this game. Zero turnovers in 33 minutes with 6 assists. Ladies and gentlemen, we have found CBs successor.
All I can say is: DEEEEETROIT BAAASSSSKETBAAAALLLLL
The AP recap says that the Pistons' 3 turnovers tonight was a record low for a playoff game.
That was fun to watch. Orlando's players are idiots with the ball. I'm glad the refs weren't calling phantom fouls. There were a few humiliating plays down the stretch. Sheed ripping the ball away from Howard. Turk getting blocked by Maxiell. Turk getting blocked by Tay. Nelson (Mr. Guaranty) just losing the ball with no real pressure. Turk fumbling the ball out of bounds at the end. The 3-point shooting formula doesn't get you to the ECF.
Who's got next? Boston, or Cleveland. Whichever one it is, we face a strong small forward. This could be a problem, as Flip still has not solved how to backup Prince. In this game, we were minus 15 with Prince sitting, and trying to use Hayes and then later Herrmann to back up Tay. Wrong players. Neither should even be dressed for us. Six straight East finals appearances. Absolutely, us Piston fans should be proud of our team for this accomplishment. But at the same time, we all know how the world veiwed a Utah team that kept getting that far but not getting a Championship. Yes, our team does have one, but that was 4 years ago. Another one would stamp this group of players as truly something special. But two tough series stand in our way. Rip was terrible, absolutely terrible, and yet he was the scoring hero for us. Rip could not hit a midranger to save his life. Not one made tonight. But he got to the rack several times for hoops. He made 16 of 16 free throws. That is a lot of going inside. Rip did make one of about 3 three point attempts, his only outside shot made of quite a few. As a team, we shot terrible, led by Rip's futility on his midrangers. Stuckey finally missed a free throw in the playoffs. At least I don't think he had missed one prior to tonight. I think he is about 24 for 25 or something like that now. Pretty darn good. Stuckey made one outside shots on his way to 15 points. He also made a short jumper on a fast break. Other than that, his scoring was all layups and at the line. A couple of the layups were pretty nifty, but short of spectacular. One of them gave us a lead that we never gave up. Dixon got into the game for a moment or two. I think he missed one shot, did not hurt us on D. That was the start of the 4th, a quarter where Orlando did not score a bucket for the first 8 minutes. You guessed it, Hayes nor Herrmann played in the 2nd half. And Tay got no rest at all. Rip passed Thomas for the Pistons all time playoff scoring lead. Maybe he knew about this and was nervous. For some reason, the guy just could not get a quality shot attempt off. Couldn't even find the right zip code. Tay did it again. Huge block on Turk with Turk going for a layup. Helped seal the win in the last seconds. Gee, we had a ten point lead with not much time to go, and Orlando still found a way to charge right back into the game in the last minute. Can't say they ever stop fighting, thats for sure. Orlando self destructed thruout this game, passing the 20 turnover mark while the Pistons barely turned the ball over at all. This included zero turns for Stuck. Stuckey again found himself in foul trouble early in the game. Second foul picked up just a few minutes into the game. But he ended up with one fine game, scoring the points, dishing out assists steadily, and playing fine D on Nelson. (We also switch Stuckey onto their small forward at times.) Sheed had a huge problem thinking he just had to keep jacking up three after three. He never made one, and him and Rip between them ruined our shooting percentage for the game. But we won cause of the turnover discrepancy and better rebounding. We got up a ton more shots than they did. Dyess had a double double. Lots of those outside jumpers made. Like I have said many times, on the rare occasion that Dyess hits em like that, he can help win a game. His shooting helped for sure in this one, and he hauled down plenty of boards. Theo got in for a stretch in the first half, pulled down some offensive rebounds, helped tire Howard out a bit. On defense, Sheed was great late in the game guarding Howard. He stole the ball from Howard three straight times at one point. For the game, we fouled Howard a lot, and he did not make us pay at the line. Hunter played. Killed our offense for long stretches. Did nail a three to make up for a small part of that. Turk showed some great scoring talent against us tonight, but also some lousy passing. Lewis, except for a very brief scoring spurt, choked on the big stage tonight, shooting poorly and contributing to the turnover problems of Orlando. So how does a team that can't hold onto the ball, and can't rebound, make such a close game out of it. Back to paragraph one. We play the wrong players. This is very correctable. We have this person called a coach you see, and all this person has to do is quit playing guys who just can't play. That would be Hayes and Herrmann. Find different solutions for backup small forward. This is a must if we are going to get past the next round. GO PISTONS!!!!!
For a team playing without its best player I am impressed with this win. Pistons D had a little something to do with all those Orlando TO's. Onto the next round. Rip passed Isiah Thomas as the all-time Piston playoff scoring leader.
AA deserves the back-up forward role. Flip needs to stop the BS. He's successfully guarded Lebron, and has had success against BOS. He will be needed. I don't understand why at the end of the season we were playing him behind Tay, it was working beautifully, and it's scrapped in the PO's. Chauncey needs to come back. I'm sick of this rotation. I don't understand the logic of playing the sucky vet over the rook who's a better player b/c of some sort of priority thing. I hope Dyess starting isn't permanent. Max min have been majorly limited. We won, but what a lucky win. We tried numerous times to lose. However, ORL obviously is just better than us at that. Tay's min are ridiculous and can't be maintained. You lose nothing on defense by playing spellcheck behind him. Stuck stepped up. Good job. Also i know this is thinking way further ahead but height will be needed to match-up with floppy if the Cavs adavance (and their front court in general). <Amir>. They kill us on the boards. My worry with the rotation is not neccessarily what was going to happen in the earlier rounds, but the defense and match-up advantages we will need in the ECF/Finals. That's when Amir will come into play esp against the WC teams. My faith that Flip will realize this is severely dwindling with AA's 2 sec, and Amir's stint on the inactive list instead of Arvis. Flip needs to learn to stop coaching scared (or stupid) whichever it is. TAKE RISKS. Play your bets players (even if they are rookies), don't be afraid to throw a player in a game. The level of play has to seriously be stepped up in the next rounds. We had 3 turnovers. ORL had what 22?! They missed dozens of FT's and it took a game saving block to pull it out. Not really the emphatic win we were looking for, but i guess without CB i'll take it. edited to add; Also Sheed has been huge. Unsung hero on defense for sure. And our defense in general was a thing of beauty for a stretch there. One major positive out of this series.
First of all, what a run we have been privileged to watch. 6 straight? Unbelievable! Stuckey grew up a bunch. They will have to pay attention to him now and that will open things up for others. Dyss played like a man possessed. He willed us to a win. What a gamer! I have been on him this year but he can play big in big games (remember that first Miami series when he busted Van Gundy when Stan tried to played Shaq and Zo at the same time?). Rip and Tay are playing like the stars that they are. Rip did get disjointed but those free throws were huge. Tay was a bit out of sync and yet he hit that big three and then the block....Wow. Tell me defense isn't pretty. Or, somebody please tell David Stern.
Amen. Great post!
I was watching the wrap show on NBAtv that has the pressers afterwards, and one of the hosts is just dumbfounded that the Pistons had a record low TO's with a rookie PG who did not have one himself.
I remember a PO game from last year (or year before?) when the Pistons had 5 TO's and I thought that was amazing. To do 3 with both a rook PG and a geriatric PG is sorta mind-blowing. The game wasn't pretty, but was the type of win that I love best from the Pistons...team ball on both ends when it counts to get the job done. Getting stops: tight hustle D, forcing TO's, key blocks & boards. Ugly shooting percentage that it was from the Pistons, LB must be smiling in some satisfaction tonight CB out for the last two games might be a blessing-in-disguise for the Pistons in the remainder of the playoffs. In his absence, the Pistons seem to have acquired a unity of purpose that I haven't seen since the 05 Finals.

Although the game was literally tight all the way, the TO's were one of the keys to the win for the Pistons for tonight and the whole series. Those 3 turnovers tonight yielded only 5 points for the Magic, while the Pistons cashed in 34 points off their 21 miscues. The Piston defense had 12 steals. I think Ernie said that the Magic had 74 assist and 74 turnovers for the five game series. The Pistons had 36 TO's for this series compared to the 96 TO's in the six game opening round vs the Sixers. They are taking care of the ball better and that has to carry over into the next to series when our shooting could possibly hurt us as both Cavs and Celtics D is a tad better than the Magic's.
Great clip of a great play. Thanks, 'scoe. And Goooooo Tay! -------------- That was a great game to watch; a total nailbiter all the way. Now the guys can rest up and heal up, get ready for the next round.
The thing is, who would have the guts to play Amir after having him on the bench for most of PO series so far? I bet this person is not Flip.
Isn't it sort of fitting that Detroit moves on to the ECF's...finishing the semifinals strong after the name of Rufus Henry is batted about once or twice. That isn't a mere coincidence. Rufus Henry is just that good. When Joe picked up Rufus' trail he was driving a CATA bus in Magic Johnsons hometown of Lansing. Most folks thought he was a war veteran, with the peg leg and the eye patch and all, but guys like Magic knew better. Many a current NBA player has been playing basketball after dusk and heard the clickity clack of dice in the near distance. Suddenly, out would dance this Slick Rick clone (actually Rufus is the guy that Slick Rick stole his "look" from). Rufus preferred the funky chicken or the electric slide, but he could do it all. Word is, he taught Michael Jackson the moonwalk. Some folks contest this, but why else would Michael pay homage to the way Rufus keeps his shooting hand gloved when he's not stroking threes or shooting dice? Either way, the guys game is the stuff of legend. Forget all those other shows about legendary guys. Rufus is still the best. He would beat any 4 players on the court right now. The problem is (as Joe soon quickly learned after signing him to a 10 day) he would rather drink, dance and shoot craps.... only occasionally stepping out of the shadows to school unsuspecting players worldwide like some basketball version of Candyman. Normally he sounded like the boy that grew up on the streets of Brooklyn, and yet when he talked trash it was with a perfect British accent. Cisco is his Gatorade. Pray you never have to lose your money and pride to Rufus Henry.
Sounds like Rufus has more moves than Ex-Lax...
My computer at home crashed a couple days ago so this was the first game I watched from start to finish in over a year! I totally enjoyed it (and the Wings the night before too). What a block! I felt that they would win it the entire game, but that they would turn up the intensity when they needed to. Basically, I think that's what happened. I'm very concerned about what happens next. Seems like they blow a team out game one and know they can let up a bit the next game, or later in that game. I don't think they can get away with that against any of the remaining teams. They haven't the last couple years. But we've been talking about the "switch" all year. This isn't news to anyone. We know they can crush Cleveland and steal one in Boston. But WILL they change their old patterns?
Rufus has more moves than UHaul!!! ...as Marv Albert once said; "The Rufus, ...ON FIRE!"

I have a PGCE and 5 years of teaching experience in primary schools. I'm looking to broaden my skills and move into TEFL (adults or children).
I know that the CELTA course is highly regarded - but do I need it as I already have my PGCE? Or is there an alternative course for those with previous teaching experience?
I am currently looking at doing the 4 week intensive course at Saxoncourt in London. Can anyone recommend this course? I've heard good things but that their course textbooks are not user-friendly.
Any advice appreciated.

text: Webber got player of the game. Not a double double, but hey 19 points, I think 6 rebounds, and 3 assists that should have been more like 6-his teammates still can't belive they are getting these excellent passes from him, pretty good stuff. If you want to find fault, well, Charlotte got way too many offensive rebounds to start the game. But the same Chris Webber was there in the 2nd half, and Charlotte only got 1 offensive rebound thru much of the 2nd half. And our starting five finished the game, well. Webber is flat out a force down around the basket on the offensive end. Got to love it. Sheed did major damage in the post too, and we got over 40 points, are exactly 40 maybe, from our starting pair of bigs. Got to love it. Sheed hit a triple or two as well while only missing about 2 shots all game. Webber did not miss many either. Talk about efficiency. Got to love it. Did I mention you got to love it? You got to. CB got tore up by Felton some, but then again, CB showed he was a bit too much for Felton to handle also. Rip as usual was steady on his shots. Tay scored here and there, hitting that huge triple down the stretch, and taking advantage of smaller guys trying to guard him. Once, he hit Webber under the basket out of a double team. Five starters all in double figures, three around 20 points. How about the bench though. Not much scoring. Hunter got a couple of buckets, Delfino was 1 for 3 on triple tries, Dyess got a bucket or two. Dale Davis got a couple of dunks. I don't remember JMAX getting in the scoring column-he only played 6 minutes. Dale Davis played a bit in each half. In the first half, he was called in to help stop the bleeding on the giving up offensive boards. He did his job. In the 2nd half, Dyess got in foul trouble and who cares, cause we had Davis to come in for him. Heck, we had Maxiell too. Pretty much immune to any foul trouble at the power forward position. The starters played a lot in this one, but heck, they had since Saturday night to rest and they don't play tomorro night. Can't complain too much there. Ten man rotation. It looks set for now, until a trade comes along. I like ten man rotations. The only person in that rotation I question is Hunter, but he had a decent game tonight since he scored his own a bit. Still can't run the offense, but if he keeps scoring and playing his D, you can't complain too much considering how little he plays. I still say they should be playing Blalock some cause Billups is going to need more rest on some nights-or he is going to go out again with another leg injury from overuse. On one play, Webber faked a pass to a cutting Rip Hamilton, getting his defender off balance for a moment. He used his advantage to calmly dribble to the basket and lay it in. Webber's passes look like shots until the last moment. Anything but telegraphing; his team had better be alert for those passes. We saw another nifty alley oop from Rip to Tay. We saw Webber on a fast break dribble in and get fouled-certainly seemed to surprise Charlotte. And Chris converted quite a few free throws. Got to love it. GO PISTONS!!!!!

His family targeted by a vengeful crime boss in Istanbul, retired CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) must fight an army of killers to ensure their safe return in this action sequel from director Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3) and producer/co-writer Luc Besson (who penned the screenplay alongside Taken scribe Robert Mark Kamen). As the families of the kidnappers killed by Mills gather together for a mass funeral, their leader Merad (Rade Sherbedgia) vows to make the man who brought them so much misery pay. Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Mills invites his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) and their daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) to join him on a trip to Istanbul after their long-planned trip to China falls through. Later, in Istanbul, the family is settling in and enjoying the sites when Merad's gang abducts Mills and Lenore. Communicating with her father via a hidden cell phone, Kim accesses his secret weapons cache and embarks on a frantic race through an unfamiliar city in a bid to rescue her parents from certain death. Once she manages to free her father, Mills puts his "particular set of skills" to use while attempting to rescue his Lenore, and escape Merad's unrelenting attack. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hey everyone,
Some of you may remeber that about a month ago I made a Starkiller over a weekend for the TFU launch. After I got the game I decied that I would try to make a "501 quality" version. I've been documenting my work over on the flagship eclipse forums, but I am a bit giddy that I am about done with two main components of this costume: the shoulder armor and gauntlet. I think these came out very well, and I am really excited because this is the first time I made something like this without finding a template or plan online, i.e. I make them just by looking at the pictures I could find. Hopefully I'll be able to post pics of the full suit later this month so keep an eye out for that.

E-Mail Coach Roberts
In his first full season as head coach, Roberts helped turn around a struggling program (eight wins combined the previous two seasons) as he guided the Miners to 12 wins in 2013. He also orchestrated the Miners' first undefeated home record (6-0) since 2004.
Roberts tutored his first all-conference player as a head coach in Rebeca Calvillo as she was named to the All-Conference USA third team. Calvillo was the first Miner since 2009 to earn all-conference recognition.
The 2012-13 season started off with a bang as Calvillo and Martina Trierweiler won titles at the 2012 Aggie Women's Invitational. Trierweiler claimed the white singles main draw, while Calvillo took the crimson singles main draw.
The spring season saw the Miners win three of their first nine matches before claiming their longest winning streak in three years. Roberts saw his squad win five matches in row starting with a 6-1 win over Illinois State on Feb. 22 and ending with a 7-0 stomping of Western New Mexico on March 10. The squad also won four of its last six matches to close out the regular season.
Director of Athletics Bob Stull named Mark Roberts as UTEP's women's tennis head coach on June 27, 2012.
A former player and coach at I-10 rival New Mexico State, Roberts returns to the Southwest after serving as assistant coach at UNLV for the last four seasons. The Rebels made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2009, 2010 and 2011, advancing to the second round in 2010, and won Mountain West Conference regular season title in 2009 and 2011.
Roberts, 31, was chosen the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Mountain Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2012.
"I am extremely excited to be the new women's tennis head coach at UTEP," Roberts said. "I would like to thank Director of Athletics Bob Stull for this great opportunity. I hope the city of El Paso is ready for a new and exciting journey alongside the UTEP women's tennis program. Let's go Miners!"
"We're really excited about hiring Mark to lead our tennis program," Director of Athletics Bob Stull said. "He was highly instrumental in UNLV's success over the last four years and is a natural fit for us, having played and coached at New Mexico State. Mark is an outstanding coach with high energy, and he's well-connected in recruiting. He is an equally outstanding person and will be a tremendous addition to our athletic department staff."
A native of Durban, South Africa, Roberts was involved with all facets of the tennis operation at UNLV. He helped the Rebels achieve team ITA national rankings as high as no. 29 in 2011. From an individual standpoint, he coached Kristina Nedeltcheva, who was ranked 23rd in the country in singles in 2010, and the doubles tandem of Lucia Batta and Anna Maskaljun, who rated 48th nationally in 2011. Batta was honored as the 2012 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year.
UNLV has enjoyed equal success academically over the last four years, including garnering an ITA Scholar-Athlete Status Team Award in 2010 for maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or better.
Prior to his stint in Las Vegas, Roberts worked as a tennis teaching professional in Illinois and Pennsylvania for four years (2004-08).
Following a standout collegiate playing career, Roberts began his excursion into coaching as a graduate assistant at his alma mater New Mexico State. He played no. 1 singles and doubles and was team captain in his lone year with the Aggies (2002-03). He also played at Boise State for two and a half years (2000-02), qualifying for NCAAs in doubles with a national ranking of 23 as a junior. Roberts was named team MVP his sophomore year while equaling the school record for singles victories (31).
Roberts earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from NMSU in May of 2004, graduating with honors. He added a Masters of Science in Sport & Leisure Services Management from UNLV last month.
His wife, Jessica, played volleyball at Boise State and Pittsburgh. They were married in 2005.

Each year, NAIDOC Week celebrates the stories, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The theme for this year is they dared to challenge, in tribute to the people who established and protected the Aboriginal Tent Embassy over the past forty years.

The start of NAIDOC Week (1-8 July 2012) was marked this morning at Melbourne Museum by a smoking ceremony, with Genevieve Grieves and Mandy Jones raising the Aboriginal flag. Says Bunjilaka Manager Caroline Martin, "Each year we raise a new Aboriginal flag in the Milarri Garden and hold a smoking ceremony; this signifies for us a new year, a symbolic gesture of renewal, honouring the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities both past and present."

At the event, CEO Patrick Greene launched the Koorie Guide to Melbourne Museum, a hot-off-the-press, free guidebook to Aboriginal stories embedded within all the galleries of the museum.

Caroline explains that the guide was produced "in response to complaints when we closed the permanent exhibition." The main gallery of Bunjilaka closed earlier this year to allow construction of the new permanent exhibition, First Peoples, that will open in mid-2013. "People were disappointed that they'd come to the museum for an Aboriginal experience, and in their eyes there was no Aboriginal content, which isn't true. Over the last few years, any time a new exhibition was developed, we've talked to the curators to include Aboriginal content."
The Koorie Guide highlights the stories and culture of the traditional owners of Victoria that are embedded in Melbourne Museum's exhibitions. In Wild: Amazing animals in a changing world, visitors are greeted at the entrance by the eagle Bunjil, while in The Melbourne Story, there is a single raven, the only bird in the display that isn't labelled with its scientific name. This is Waa, a sacred figure from Koorie creation stories. "Bunjil is creator of the land, waterways and people and Waa is the protector of all," explains Caroline.
Another purpose of the guide is to show another view of the museum's displays. In the western districts of Victoria, an area near Portland is remembered for the 1829 battle between whalers and Gunditjmara people over the ownership of a beached whale. The Koorie Guide links the popular Blue Whale skeleton exhibit with these Convincing Grounds, so-called because of the terrible violence used by whalers to 'convince' the local people of their right to the whale.

Caroline worked with colleagues John Patten, Liz Suda and Museum Victoria's Design Studio to compile the Koorie Guide to Melbourne Museum, and she encourages visitors to request a copy of the guide from the cloakroom desk. Come in to Bunjilaka to enjoy the special NAIDOC Week events at Melbourne Museum, too.

Think pink…
January 20th, 2010
Pink is back but this time it's all about having pink shades for your make-up rather than for your wardrobe. Although spring is just around the corner, we're not quite ready for spring clothing yet, even if it is starting to appear in the shops, the amount of snow we've had has resulted in people piling on as many layers as possible. We may be reluctant to make our wardrobes more spring like, but we can brighten up our make-up with some fresh colours to lighten up our mood instead!
Pink shades in nail polish, lipsticks, blushers and eye shadows allow you to brighten up your look and feel fresh as a spring daisy whilst still wearing your winter layers! Wearing a matt bubble gum pink nail polish just makes us feel happy that the weather will soon be warming up and makes us look forward to summer, sandals and BBQs again! Matt or shimmery pink lips are a fresh change from the deep red lips we've worn over winter. A good blusher with pink over tones and a hint of shimmer will help to add some colour to our rather pasty white faces and a stroke of pink eye shadow will help us to see la vie en rose!
Can't wait until spring to brighten up your wardrobe? Check out our early spring range online, with lingerie in beautiful pastel shades and comfy separates to help you feel a little warmer inside!

Cowboys fall to West, come back to top St. Labre
The Custer County District High School Cowboy basketball team dropped a 63-47 decision against a tough Class AA Billings West team on Friday night at home, but bounced back to beat Class B St. Labre on Saturday night in Ashland, 71-58.
The Cowboys are now 3-6 overall on the year and remain 1-4 in the Eastern A. They will travel to Hardin on Friday and will host Sidney on Saturday in a pair of Eastern A conference games.
On Friday night, West opened the game on a 10-2 run and led 15-4 before the Cowboys got going. Connor Torstenbo hit a pair of shots and Brac Warren scored to cut the score to 15-10. West would lead 17-10 at the quarter break.
West (7-2) led by as many as 14 in the second quarter, but the Cowboys continued to keep themselves in the game, trailing 38-28 at halftime.
The Cowboys got as close as eight on a couple occasions in the second half, but couldn't overcome a hot shooting West team.
"We played pretty good," Warren said. "They're a good team. We had some mistakes, which will happen against a team like that. We turned the ball over too much, but it was a good game."
The Cowboys shot 32 percent from the field, while West shot 50 percent.
Warren finished with 18 points and Brett Keith added 10.
On Saturday night, the Cowboys made the trip down to Ashland and found themselves down in the first half, but rolled in the second half for the 13 point win.
"At the beginning, we were lackadaisical on defense," Warren said. "After half, we picked it up and started executing better. We took care of the boards and fast-break a lot better."
St. Labre scored the first nine points of the game, but the Cowboys recovered and held a 17-16 late in the quarter after a Warren three-pointer. But the Braves answered with a three of their own to take a 19-17 lead at the break.
The Braves again scored the first nine points of the quarter, pushing their lead to as many as 11. The Cowboys recovered enough to go into halftime trailing 34-27.
Early in the third, the Cowboys trailed by 11, 40-29, before they got rolling.
The Cowboys went on a 16-2 run, highlighted by a Gavin Gundlach three that gave them their first lead since the first quarter.
St. Labre got as close as five in the fourth quarter, but the Cowboys cruised to the 71-58 win.
The Cowboys outscored the Braves 44-24 in the second half.
Gundlach led four Cowboys in double figures with 19 points. Warren finished with 17, followed by Keith with 14 and Timmy Regan with 10.
Billings West 63, Miles City 47
Miles City (2-6, 1-4)- Gavin Gundlach 8, Austin Stradley 7, Brett Keith 10, Brac Warren 18, Connor Torstenbo 4.
Billings West (7-2)- Wilson Brott 9, Danny Betcher 12, Jared Samuelson 7, Jeremiah Cochran 11, Angelo Villarreal 6, Christian Kappel 10, Kameron Rauch 8.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Sep 7, 2006.
I'm trying man. Believe me.
He.... just .... won't.... die ....
I feel the love Thanks guys.
would you do it for... a slippy snack?
He's like Mustafa from Austin Powers.
Is Darth a modern day Rasputin?
I'm doing research while waiting for the next murder which always seems to take days. Slippy, can the murderer use someone elses quote in the grey quote box in his own post and count that as him using the "keywords"? Or must they be his own words originating during the proper time period?
yes. the murder clue words can be quoted. the immunity word cannot and must be written to count.
Hey, how do we know if we hung an innocent or a guilty murderer?
either someone is murdered in 3 days, or someone isn't. there is no try. god i'm a nerd.
Yeah but I thought there was the possibility of multiple murderers. So how do you know if we hung one, none or both already?
I went back and read the rules for Murder 2. Slippy said there would be two murderers. There was no "maybe" in his statement. I think MAYBE we got one, but I'd bet almost for sure the other is lurking about. I believe Slippy would have told us by now if it was over.
If someone doesn't die soon i'll kill them myself!! [SIGN]Down with peace, up with murder[/SIGN]
I don't know, Slippy took his sweet old time telling us it was over the last round. In fact, he pretended the game was still going by off'ing you too. That Slippy, he's a...um... slippery little devil. :icon_evil:
Well, this is just going to make the "Darth understands the rules bunch" gather more support to hang me. Slippy = slippery. Agreed Murders done=Disagree. The murderer has 3 days to kill. http://www.pistonsforum.com/predictions-contests-games/4108-murder-pf-com2-rules-read-em-weep.html If Slippy follows his own rules (which he has all along) there will be a corpse no later than midnight tonight at the very latest. Linwood was hanged Friday night. The murderer will kill tonight.
Darth hangs innocent people. Probably to protect himself. If there is another murder, look no further than Darth who has campaigned to have the last two men hung with a disturbing amount of zeal.
You state that with great confidence. I bet you know also know exactly what time the killer is going to strike. :(
Yes, let's pin it on me before there is even a killing. Yes, I strongly believe there will be a killing. What are the odds we got both killers correct? I think we possibly missed on Dlev, but he did look suspicious. There was minimal evidence left by the killer and somebody had to hang. We all voted for someone...right or wrong. Micro has been happily forming mobs to hang me. I'd be hanged if not for a lucky coin bounce. I think he did at least one of the past two. Why is it that despite all the evidence he left, many believe he is innocent? Personally, it does surprise me that slippy would choose him as the murderer, but slippy is slippery as Jammer said. If I were the killer I'd kill Micro in a heartbeat after he led the mob against me last round. (Although this would cast great suspicion on me). So I think it's Micro and I think he won't kill me because then everyone knows it's him. He knows there is a great chance I'll hang this round. That's ok. My mouth is going to keep yapping theories until it is shut by murder or hanging. Hang me and you can stop me from posting on this thread. I've been verbal and I know that the people who participate most draw the most suspicion upon themselves. That's cool. It's part of the game and I'm having fun, and I'll continue to have fun watching you guys figure it out. However, if there is a murder this round and I believe there will be, the murders will continue for at least one more round because I didn't do it.
The murders will continue for at least one more round because you probably convicted two innocent men. Bottom line, if there is a murder, you cannot trust Darth Tater because his theories on who commits the murders are hit and miss. Pure speculation!
LMAO. OK, trust Roscoe... "I'm voting Darth did it because he is mean to slippy!"
Separate names with a comma.

Conaway v. Deane & Polyak
Our Sponsors
In July 2004, a group of lesbian and gay couples and a gay widower filed this case in Maryland state court seeking the right to marry under the state constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection. The trial court ruled in the plaintiffs' favor in January 2006, holding that excluding same-sex couples from marriage discriminates on the basis of sex without a constitutionally sufficient government justification. The government appealed to Maryland's highest court. Lambda Legal filed an amicus brief in the high court on behalf a diverse coalition of organizations representing those with disabilities, the elderly and the impoverished.
Our brief focuses on the proper application of the "rational review test" — which examines whether a legislature had a reasonable and not an arbitrary basis for enacting a particular law. This standard of review is the most deferential to the legislature. But it serves as an important bulwark against discrimination by requiring that laws are not passed based on irrational stereotypes or prejudices against a group of people.
Lambda Legal's Impact
This historic case will decide whether Maryland's constitution requires granting committed same-sex couples the right to marry. If successful, the case will affect the numerous gay and lesbian couples living in Maryland.
- October 2006 Lambda Legal files amicus brief in Maryland Court of Appeals in support of plaintiffs, lesbian and gay individuals seeking the right to marry in Maryland.
- December 2006 Maryland high court hears oral argument in case.

Format of the Events
Personalised and Tailor-Made Services
General Description of the Events
The Access MBA One-to-One Tour is a series of targeted events focused on high quality, personalised services for MBA candidates. This event gives qualified and motivated professionals the opportunity to meet with top internationally accredited business schools. Ongoing MBA, GMAT, TOEFL and Career counselling helps candidates with general MBA and career issues as well as orients them towards the schools and opportunities of interest at the event.
Why Register Online?
Registered candidates receive priority for the One-to-One meetings and workshops with MBA admissions officers, and can schedule these appointments in advance. Advance bookings for registered candidates are possible by telephone or email, and our Access MBA consultants can also provide extensive programme information about the participating schools. Meetings with business schools and on-site MBA consulting are not guaranteed for unregistered candidates.
Who Can Attend the Events?
Participation in the One-to-One events is open to experienced business executives who have a bachelor's degree or equivalent and are fluent in English. Candidates that do not qualify for One-to-One meetings and workshops are welcome to attend the Panel Discussion at each event. For events that feature an Open Fair, candidates that do not meet the One-to-One criteria are invited to the open forum session.
Which Schools Are Participating?
Roughly 100 accredited and internationally-ranked business schools participate in the Tour. Among them, 70% of the Top 100 MBA programmes and some of the best American MBA programmes attend the events. A detailed list of participating schools and programme information can be provided to candidates upon registration.
The One-to-One Format
Founder of the One-to-One event format, Access MBA has been giving candidates a new way of meeting business schools since 2004.
In the words of one former event participant, Access MBA provides a "unique opportunity to learn more before going further in the application process." Business schools meet individually with candidates that meet their admissions criteria and are interested in their MBA programmes. The selection criteria for the meetings include work experience, level of motivation, country of interest and programme format.
Participating candidates can meet MBA programmes in which they are interested in a series of 25-minute interviews, with priority given to the top 5 schools per candidate.
The Workshops
Interactive information sessions taking place at a round table, these group meetings are organized with one business school representative and up to 10 candidates. Those informal and open discussions provide in-depth information about programmes of interest and allow for a question-and-answer session.
Individualized Event Services
On the Access MBA Tour, there is a format for candidates at every step of the application process:
- If you are a "first-step" candidate, you may discuss your project with ACCESS MBA Consultants, MBA Career Counsellors, and with GMAT/ TOEFL test preparation representatives. Attend conferences, workshops or an open forum (where applicable), and gain all of the general information you need to help you find the MBA that is right for your career.
- If you are already informed about the MBA degree and know which type of MBA programme you are targeting, head straight for One-to-One meetings with the schools that match your interests. Discuss your career path with professional Career Counsellors to learn how to use your MBA to your best advantage.

Teamwork and planning are the two key elements to any successful project. No company knows this better than Concrete Supply Co. of Charlotte, and Batson-Cook Co. of Atlanta, the general contractor for Wachovia's new Corporate Center in uptown Charlotte.
From early in the planning stages, a partnership was developed between Batson-Cook, Concrete Supply Co., and the structural engineering firm, TRC International, LTD, of Sarasota, Fla. During the first meeting between the groups, Don Davis, a consultant for Batson-Cook, asked, "What is the highest strength concrete you can produce?" Initial discussions focused on 15,000 psi concrete, but quickly changed to 16,000 psi and eventually 18,000 psi concrete as the building's design evolved.
The 52-story Wachovia Corporate Center is the focal point of the new mixed-use Wachovia Cultural Campus, which will include a 42-story condominium tower, art museums, and 1200-seat performing arts theater. The two towers, along with a nine-story building annex, sit atop an eight-story parking structure that extends 95 feet below street level. Wachovia Bank is moving its headquarters to the 1.3 million-square-foot building. Duke Energy and the Wake Forest University Babcock Graduate School of Management also will occupy parts of the building. It truly is our project of a lifetime.
Tommy Hagood, structural engineer with TRC International, explains that the building design is a punched tube system, with an exterior punched with windows that form columns 10 feet on-center and deep beams at the floorlines. This system is very rigid and acts as a shear wall and rigid frame combination. This eliminates the need for shear walls in the core area of the building and creates a more open design.
The core is designed only for gravity loads and it houses the vertical transportation for the tower. Both seismic and wind loads controlled the lateral design for the exterior columns.
Upping the ante
Planners selected a 16,000 psi reinforced concrete to minimize the size and number of columns in the tower. High-strength concrete was also required to achieve a high modulus of elasticity (MOE) in the exterior columns, greatly reducing the lateral movement of the tower. An 18,000 psi mix design was added to the project a few months after the owner requested a design change to the upper floors of the tower.
By increasing the concrete strength from 16,000 psi to 18,000 psi, the amount of reinforcing steel was reduced in many of the columns, while the column dimensions remained unchanged. This saved money and time, compared to using mechanical connections and increased column sizes. Batson-Cook also chose precast double-tees to accelerate the construction schedule. Double-tees topped with lightweight concrete are used through the 44th floor. This is believed to be the tallest structure using precast double tees.
Construction of the parking structure began in March 2007 and, as of January, more than 16,000 yards of 16,000 psi concrete and close to 1000 yards of 18,000 psi concrete had been successfully placed. It took months of research, several trial batches, and in-depth training to move us from the initial conversations that took place in 2005 to completing a 500-yard beam pour with 16,000 psi concrete in spring 2007.

What was I thinking?!
It isn't a secret that fantasy baseball magazines and web sites have extremely early deadlines to provide their audience with material. While sports fans are knee-deep in NFL playoffs, we're already creating position rankings and our sleeper list. During the time we start writing to the weeks leading up to Opening Day, there are going to be adjustments. These are my modifications and what I've learned after my mock draft.
- Mike Napoli is climbing my list of backstops with David Ortiz likely to miss the first few games due to inflamed heels.
- The depth here is bigger than you think. Top tier guys (Posey, Y. Molina, Mauer, Martinez, Wieters, and Montero) will go anywhere between rounds two through five. Take a breather and wait on filling this roster spot. Montero, Lucroy, and Perez will be there later.
First basemen:
- There are three guys worthy of "first round" status (Fielder, Pujols, and Votto). After that, it's basically a crapshoot. I'm extremely bias towards first basemen and always try to draft one early (I'm a 6'3", lefty). If I don't have one of the first three picks in my draft, I'm probably taking one of the guys I just mentioned.
Second basemen:
- Unless Robinson Cano falls to the late first-round, I'm going to wait until the end of the draft to fill this spot on my roster. Not many owners will select two second basemen in one draft. So, instead of picking the ninth second baseman, I'd rather build up my outfield or bolster my rotation.
- This will be the most difficult position to draft in 2013. I've seen Troy Tulowitzki go in round one, a guy who played only 47 games last season. Also, I've watched Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez dominate the World Baseball Classic. Starlin Castro's OBP and SLG percentage are a fantasy owner's dream. Ben Zobrist has been listed on numerous "sleeper" lists. The best shortstop last year (Derek Jeter) is a giant question mark for this year. I honestly don't know who or where I'm drafting this position.
Third basemen:
- This hot corner class has a lot of power hitter depth. At first, I was under the impression that this position was in a recession. Chipper Jones is playing golf, Alex Rodriguez is a mess, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion lost eligibility. With that being said, I believe there are at least 19 players who could start for my fantasy baseball team.
- In a 10-12 team draft, seven outfielders could be gone after the first round.
- Youth has become a big factor in this position. Mike Trout, Justin Upton, Adam Jones, Bryce Harper, Desmond Jennings, and Alex Gordon are in my top-25 outfielders.
Starting pitchers:
- In my mock draft I selected a pitcher in the second and third round, which was not the smartest idea. I'll say this every time I get the chance: "THIS PITCHING POOL IS DEEP!" Yes, take one starting pitcher within your first five picks. After that, build your offense.
- Yet another time I reached in the experts' mock draft. Imagine your relief pitcher spot as the kicker position in fantasy football, save them for the end. There's going to be a guy that takes over the job mid-season and finishes in the top-10 and he'll be undrafted (whoever gets Bruce Rondon's job).

Camu Camu Powder - Raw, Organic
The camu berry is one of the world's most abundant sources of vitamin C—as much as 60 times more C per serving than an orange. This antioxidant-rich berry from the Amazon is also a plentiful source of potassium, calcium, protein, beta carotene, amino acids and powerful phytochemicals.
Mother Nature's Super C
Often called the Camu-Camu berry, this fruit grows on a low-growing shrub (Myrciaria Dubia) native to the lush climates along the Black Water River region of the Amazonian rainforest. The buzz about this potent berry has spread around the world, earning it the nickname "nature's vitamin pill." Containing a higher naturally occurring vitamin C content than any other food, camu has long been used for its nutritional and medicinal attributes. Navitas Naturals Camu is grown organically in Peru, where gentle freeze-drying methods are used to protect and maximize the nutrient potential of this extraordinary superberry powder.
Product of Peru
Peru is home to millions of acres of forests, thousands of plant species and around one third of indigenous populations residing in rural areas. This trifecta results in a treasure chest of valuable plants and deep knowledge.
Navitas Naturals Camu Powder is sourced from organically cultivated regions of Peru. The small shrubby camu tree has smooth bark and grows along the winding banks of rivers running through the lowland rainforests of Amazonia. The plant has adapted to flooding and is able to survive submersed in water for over five months! Abundant rains nourish the growth of small fruits that are hand harvested by families who have settled along rivers and expertly direct their canoes for collection.
To make our Camu Powder, seeds from the camu berries are removed, then the fruit is slow-dried and low-temperature milled into a fine soluble powder. Our Camu Powder contains no fillers or carriers, just pure, vital camu berries.
Nutrition Facts
Camu fruits are the highest documented source of vitamin C - providing 200 times more than a banana, 56 times more than a lemon, and 30-60 times more than an orange. Camu also contains a broad range of other important nutrients including potent antioxidants, phytochemicals and amino acids, as well as many important vitamins and minerals including beta-carotene and potassium.
The Power of Camu
The powerful nutrients found in the camu berry have a wide range of therapeutic effects. Vitamin C is found in especially high concentration in the camu berry.
Peruvian rainforests are home to great biodiversity and many indigenous cultures. The United Nations recognizes that the trade of natural products from sustainably managed biodiverse regions is a major contribution toward sustainable development. The responsible collection and cultivation of camu fruits provides an important alternative to detrimental farming and deforestation practices. The forested areas where camu grows is actually worth twice the amount that can be gained by replacing it with cattle grazing. The camu industry has great economic potential for the stewards of these precious ecosystems - farmers. Over 10,000 families rely on the collection of camu, and this supports the alleviation of poverty for farmers, buyers and processors in the Amazon.
Camu is a healthy food, not a miracle drug. These statements herein have not been reviewed by the FDA. Navitas Naturals products are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease.
More Than Just a Supplement
Many people in Peru enjoy camu flavored ice creams, sweets and beverages. Navitas Naturals Camu Powder is a red-orange powder with a tart berry flavor that blends well with fruits, juices or sweeteners. Camu purists enjoy a simple "punch" by stirring a spoonful of the easily dissolvable powder into a glass of water and adding a touch of natural sweetener (such as coconut palm sugar). Camu powder also makes a superb addition to juices, smoothies and yogurt.

'If Adelphia defaults and goes into bankruptcy and the Sabres are pledged against collateral for the 150 million dollar loan, then it's a real possibility the Sabres could be sold or be taken over. If there is a bankruptcy and local investors do not step in, the Sabres could be skating in another city.'

Major Investor May Help Save Adelphia Communications
Rigas' financial troubles place future of Sabres in question
'"There's a group of people that have the financial resources and the desire to become involved in the team if there's an opportunity," Giambra said. That, combined with assurances he received from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to keep the team in Buffalo, left Giambra optimistic about the team's future in the city with or without the Rigas family as owners.'
Local purchase of Sabres under discussion
'Speculation about a local ownership group for the National Hockey League team centers on a small group of local business executives, including Mark E. Hamister and Robert E. Rich Jr. Rich was part of the previous Sabres ownership group, and Hamister owns the Buffalo Destroyers Arena League football team that plays in HSBC Arena.'
Regier free to sign draft picks despite money woes
'Adelphia Communications' financial problems will not prevent Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier from signing five prospects before Saturday, the deadline for teams to reach agreements with certain picks from the 2000 NHL entry draft.'
Rigas story mixes anger with sadness
'But you don't have to be a Wharton School grad to suspect that it was Rigas' Ivy-educated children, products of the financially fast-paced 1980s, who nudged the old man to overextend.'
Adelphia gave $76.5 million to Sabres
'According to an Adelphia Communications Corp. 10-Q filing, submitted on Sept. 30, 2000, the cable company appeared to provide $76.5 million to help purchase the team from Niagara Frontier Hockey L.P. The notes are due to be paid back in quarterly installments through July 2010.'
Adelphia joins list of corporate crashes
'But until Rigas decides to sell and a new owner arrives with some money to spend, the team will exist in an even worse version of its current cash-strapped state. The Sabres lost about $10million this past season, season ticket renewals are believed to be proceeding poorly and the team again will not be a major player in the free agent market this summer.'
Questions arise about Sabres' long-term future
'Thus, the best prospects for the Sabres' long-term future in Buffalo may lie with Kailbourne's ability to keep a slimmed-down Adelphia alive and thriving. And that still remains a fairly long shot.'
Report lists broad family ties
'Adelphia Communications paid $13 million to build a golf course on land owned by John Rigas, backed $150 million in debts for his Buffalo Sabres and repaid $241 million in loans used to buy stock for members of his family, the company said in a disclosure statement Friday.'
Reporting depth would take big hit if Empire folded
'Even before Adelphia's money woes there was concern within Empire that Timothy Rigas, the former chief financial officer for Adelphia, might consider dropping the network and running the Sabres games on a local Adelphia channel. According to the theory, the elimination of Empire salaries would save millions without the Sabres losing an outlet for the games.'
Sabres say they're staying in Buffalo
'The Sabres are staying in Buffalo next season despite cash-flow disruptions related to problems at Adelphia Communications, team officials said.'
Ownership of Sabres to be Transferred to Adelphia
'One day after reliquishing control of their cable empire, the Rigas family is putting the finishing touches on a deal that will transfer ownership and control of the Buffalo Sabres to Adelphia.'
No winners
'…a new owner or owners would inherit more immediate problems. Like, all those luxury boxes that would suddenly be empty because of a lack of Adelphia connections. Some insiders say as much as 40 percent of the sold out suites might need to be replaced, and companies with programming tie-ins to Adelphia pull out as their contracts expire.'
Sabres, amid cash-flow woes, staying put
'News of the Sabres' returning for their 33rd season – while a foregone conclusion to many people inside and outside the organization – no doubt will ease the concerns of those who wondered whether the team would survive Adelphia's current financial problems. It also may help the team, which reportedly has had a very weak renewal rate of season tickets for next season, because fans have felt uncertain about exactly where their dollars would be going.'
Rigas relinquish control of Sabres
'In any event, the Rigas family will no longer control the fortunes of the NHL team and Adelphia may well sell it to raise capital to aid the company in its fight to avoid bankruptcy and to satisfy part of outstanding debts.'

These days it is all too common for the average person to observe with glee if an individual who is wealthy encounters problems due to general anger at those who have money. However, the continued attempt by the Russian government of Prime Minister Putin to destroy the life of former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky has nothing to do with money and everything to do with Putin's desire to crush any person or group he deems a threat to his power. From day one, the former Yukos leader has been unable to have a fair trial. In the latest example of this attempt to destroy a human, a Russian judge rejected a bid to have the company's former chief financial officer testify in court.
Bruce Misamore handled the company's financial affairs and would logically be the person to be questioned about charges there were financial problems, but in Russia this man is not allowed to talk. According to Misamore, "From what I know about the charges, they are 100 percent completely false, and they arise from the complete ignorance by the Russians of international accounting standard practice."
Let's see. The trial deals with financial irregularities and the chief financial officer is not qualified to testify!! Only in Putin Russia!

CAM to CAM Data Exchange With STEP-NC
CAD to CAD data exchange has been possible for decades, but CAM to CAM data exchange is just now emerging. An open meeting sponsored by OMAC on June 24-25, 2013 will test and demonstrate prototype translators to facilitate data exchange using the STEP-NC standard.
CAD systems have long been able to exchange part geometry files by translating the data into a vendor-neutral format. Translators using the STEP-NC standard are now enabling CAM systems to exchange manufacturing data such as CNC machining programs. These translators are expected to result in new levels of machine tool interoperability.
An open meeting supported by OMAC on June 24-25, 2013 will test and demonstrate prototype translators to facilitate data exchange using the STEP-NC standard. The meeting will be held at the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing in the Richmond, Virginia, area. OMAC (Organization for Machine Automation and Control) is an industry consortium created to help end users, technology providers, government institutions, academia and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) work together to find innovative ways to improve production operations.
The meeting will review tests and demonstrations of CAM to CAM data exchanges for Mastercam, Siemens NX and CATIA V5. Pilot projects to develop the business advantages of these translators to facilitate a more accurate and timely job quoting process, on-machine part inspection and acceptance, improved cutting tool selection and earlier simulation/verification of manufacturing processes will also be announced. The cutting tool pilot is likely to be the first to be deployed. In it, users will send operation descriptions to tooling bendors and receive back tool recommendations with process descriptions that minimize the total cost of tooling.
The concept behind STandard for Exchange of Product model data –Numerical Control (STEP-NC) is to use geometric constructs representing part features and their associated characteristics such as dimensional tolerances to define device-independent tool paths. STEP-NC is intended to enable manufacturing organizations to seamlessly share machining and measurement information between machines and over the Internet. STEP-NC replaces machine input based on M and G codes with an associative language that connects the CAD data used to determine the machining requirements for an operation with the CAM process data that solves those requirements.

ExxonMobil and Shell Stamp Huge Oil and Gas Deals in Iraq
Steve Horn | November 17, 2011
By Steve Horn • Thursday, November 17, 2011 - 12:28
Just a few weeks after President Barack Obama announced U.S. troops are "leaving" the war-torn country, ExxonMobil and Shell each announced major new oil and gas production agreements in Iraq.
On November 12, ExxonMobil signed an oil production deal with the Kurdish Regional Government to drill in Iraqi Kurdistan, located in northern Iraq. This comes on top of an existing oil deal it landed in 2009, to drill for oil in the West Qurna Field, located in southern Iraq.
The New York Times explained both deals:
Exxon and its partners agreed to invest $50 billion over seven years to increase output by about two million barrels of oil per day there, at West Qurna Phase 1, bringing more new oil to market than the United States currently produces in the Gulf of Mexico. Margins, though, are low. Kurdistan offers more lucrative production-sharing agreements, allowing the company to earn a larger share of revenues and to count more of the crude on its books, which helps boost stock prices.
Days later on November 15, Royal Dutch Shell signed a $17 billion natural gas production deal with the Iraqi government. Shell will utilize the natural gas by-product from oil produced at the West Qurna Field, the Rumaila Field, and the Az Zubair Field, and transform it into a usable product. "Shell said it would sell the gas to electrical utilities in Iraq, but that it may also eventually export some," explained The New York Times.

Preventing scars
Preventing Scars
You cannot avoid all scars, but you can do many things to improve how a scar looks. You can also prevent scars by taking steps to prevent injuries and other damage to your skin.
- Pay attention to your skin. Talk to a doctor early about acne plus other conditions and diseases that can damage the skin.
- Follow your doctor's instructions for caring for your skin, wounds and scars. Ask questions about how to use products and medicines, and use them the right way every time.
- Learn how to care for scabs, acne pimples and similar skin conditions. Do not pick scabs or squeeze pimples, because this can cause scarring.
- Learn about your risk for getting different types of scars. Some types might be common among members of your family.
- Understand how wounds heal, so you will know when your skin is most at risk for scarring or re-injury.
- Protect healing skin and scars by using skin products with sunscreen and onion extract.
If you would like to improve the look of a scar or if a scar limits your ability to move because of pain or tight skin, talk to your doctor about all your options for care and treatment.PREVIOUS: Caring for scarsNEXT: Stretch Marks 101

Other than the mid size .45GAP Glock 38 no, we probably won't see one.
Do we know if Glock will ever make a "Compact" size .45?
I feel like the sub-compact (G30) is too small and the (G21) is Monster!
The ammo can be hard to find (you won't find it at Walmart etc.) and I would wager that the GAP is destined to become extinct. A couple of LE agencies issue it, I think the PA State Police used it for a time, not sure if they still do or not.
What do you call the G36? I love mine and it's about the size of a G19.
I have carried a 21 on duty, and a 30 off duty. Honestly, there isn't a lot of difference if you put them side by side. Not enough for a "middle" offering, anyway. I don't see it coming. The best way to getting close to the middle is a pinky grip extension for the 30 from Pearce or Shearer. It makes a huge difference in the grip.
I carry my G36. Mine is a great shooter. If you are within 50 feet of my G36, it can poke your eye out. I use stock mags with the Pearce mag extensions installed for a full grip and 7+1 carry. Do not discount this mighty 45
in my opinion the glock 36 is better than any of the 3" 1911 versions
a bit smaller and lighter than the 3" 1911's and the barrel is a bit longer than 3"
and of course much more reliable
Rumor has it..........
Lone Wolf will make a timberwolf in a compact in 45 acp and 10 mm
But nothing yet
The G36 is thinner, but OAL and height is the same, I believe, as the G30. I really don't see Glock going that route anytime soon. They do pretty good with what they have in the inventory right now.

Hand to Mouth
Hand to Mouth is a one-of-a-kind show that asks comedians to write and perform all new material on a specific social, cultural or political issue. One show, one topic. Comedian Trevor Hill assembles the brightest comics in San Francisco and beyond to find the funny in such topics as commercialism, technology, gender and conspiracy theories. Performers include up-and-comers alongside veteran comics who have appeared on NBC, MTV, E! and Comedy Central. Hand to Mouth uses a mixture of stand-up, debate, earnest opinion, activism and multimedia presentations in order to provide the audience with not only laughs, but a sense of edification. "It would appear allowing comedians to stretch their creativity to encompass yet redefine a specific theme is as good for them as it was for us…" -San Francisco Guardian
The Dark Room Theater FAQ
Can I Bring In Booze?
Nope! The Dark Room Theater is an all ages venue that could be shut down if the wrong people happened to see booze inside!
Aw... But Really?
Yes... Really and for realsies.
Where Are The Restrooms?
The restrooms are located past the stage, down the hall, red doors on the left.
So, Can I Use Them During The Show?
During the majority of performances at The Dark Room Theater we ask that unless it is an emergency you use the restroom before the show begins or after it has ended. Shows almost never run longer than one hour.
The Show I REALLY Wanted To See Sold Out Online! Help What Do I Do?
Shows at The Dark Room Theater have limited seating with a slightly restricted view available at the door, once doors open. Doors tend to open 30 minutes before the show's starting time. No tickets will be sold at the door before the doors open.
What If I Call/Email/Knock On The Door/Offer A Vial Of Blood AND/OR Unborn Child?
Still the same deal as above... Please don't do the last one.
I Keep Calling The Night Of A Show Because I Have Questions, Why Won't Anyone Pick Up?
Due to how frantic things can get as we gear up for our shows we turn the ringers off generally around an hour before a night of shows begins. Also, we don't like it when shows get interrupted by phones ringing. This means that if we have shows running until 12am, the phones are off until then. You can always send in an email, which has a far better chance of being noticed.

YPSILANTI - An internal investigation of Eastern Michigan University's women's basketball program has resulted in the University self-reporting four violations to the NCAA. The self-report was filed with the NCAA on Friday, Sept. 24.
The self-reported violations involve exceeding limits on practice time, improper coach involvement in voluntary practices, and two individual violations regarding prospective student athletes participating in organized workouts.
The violations were uncovered during an internal investigation conducted by the Eastern Michigan University Compliance Office over the past two months, following information received from a student athlete.
Athletic Director Derrick Gragg announced the following disciplinary action as a result of the violations:
To accommodate concerns regarding disciplinary procedures, the reference to a letter of reprimand issued to another individual has been removed from this website.
"We obviously take this matter very seriously, are cooperating fully with the NCAA and have provided a formal self report and self-imposed sanctions," said Gragg. "While I am disappointed, I am confident that Coach Gilbert will learn from this and that this will make her an even better coach in the future. The issuance of self-imposed sanctions does not preclude further disciplinary action should additional information be developed or sanctions imposed regarding the women's basketball program."
In addition to the disciplinary action involving the coaches, the following self-imposed sanctions were announced:
"The team was notified of our decision over the weekend," said Gragg. "They were disappointed, but we have a strong support team in place to help them through this. We will continue to stand by them during this process."
Assistant Coach LaTonya Tate was named acting head coach during Coach Gilbert's suspension.
In addition to the violations that were self-reported, Eastern identified information that may suggest other violations occurred.
"We have taken swift and decisive action in this matter," said Susan Martin, President of Eastern Michigan University. "We expect the best of everyone involved in a leadership capacity at EMU and will cooperate fully with the NCAA with the utmost transparency."
Documents related to this matter, including the Self-Report to the NCAA, Self-Imposed Sanctions, Disciplinary Letters to the Coaches, as well as Eastern Michigan University's Infraction Reporting Procedures are available at www.emich.edu/ncaa_violations. Additional information will be added to the site as the NCAA review of this matter progresses.
