I'm intersted also
Ok, The adapter is finished and I have run 100 rounds through it without a hiccup. Now to draw it up and get it made.
How's everything coming along? Just excited to get one myself ;-)
I am curious... who do you submit these designs to? I though you were just building it up your self. Are you trying to get a different shop to produce them for you?
I make the .223 myself. The .308 takes much more time and I couldn't sell it for enough to spend the time making them. Magnolia State Armory has expressed interest in making the .308 for me. If they don't, I've found a machine shop that will EDM them for me. MSA and I spoke about adapters before they had theirs ready for production. They wanted to buy mine, but I would rather have royalties. That didn't fit into their plans with the .223, but it would with the .308. We'll see.
I'm a car mechanic by trade. I restore old muscle cars and do some repair. Making the .223 adapters really put me behind on my bills as they took so long to make and the profit was bare. The machine shop is supposed to have the .223s in my hand this week, ready for shipment. I'm not certain about the price, I hope to be able to sell them cheaper with having them made than I could afford to do making them myself. The best part of having a local shop make them for me is that they will still be American made. I could sell them much cheaper if I had them made in China like some distributors, but that's just not me.

Montauk - Holiday (Letting Up Despite Great Faults Remix)
All hail Sweden, yo! Brandishing their nu-disco, melodic-house weapon of choice, Montauk pumped out a piano-driven debut single with Holiday. The song is a unique slice of warped and weird vocals with a generous dose of hand claps and glittery glam fuel. Yep, I said glam fuel...dig it.
Now that Holiday is seeing a proper release via Brilliantine on April 5, a number of the officially rad and officially legit remixes are being serviced out for massive distro and play. Sure, we're partial to the original, but we've been given a listen to some of these fixes, and woo boy, this is a package you're going to want to pick up.
Check out the list of includables below.1. Holiday
2. Holiday (Tronik Youth Pool Mix)
3. Holiday (Justin Faust Remix)
4. Holiday (John's Candy Remix)
5. Holiday (What Kind of Breeze Do You Blow? Sticky Mix)
6. Holiday (Suck Shaft Remix)
7. Holiday (Sweet Track Holla-disco Dub)
Big wow for this effort, as our pals Justin Faust, WKBDYB and more get their hands all over Holiday. You can actually grab the Faust fix over at Stoney Roads...yum, free.
As a bonus, we're gifting you with Letting Up Despite Great Faults remix of the track. These LA kids create original tunes much in the same vein as Radio Dept and M83, which in turn means we already love these up-and-comers. Their mix is exclusively yours today, before it gets blasted out to the world tomorrow.
Win for all.

CONFIRMED: Beyonce DID lip-sync at the inauguration!
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyonce sang an emotional and outstanding performance of 'The Star Spangled Banner' over the weekend at the Presidential Inauguration - or so you may think. New York Post's Page Six has confirmed that the singer decided at the last minute to lip-sync the National Anthem over the weekend, a rep for the United States Marine Band revealed.
The band rep, Kristin DuBois, told Page Six, "All music is pre-recorded for the ceremony because there are so many eventualities and conditions that day." She adds, "We performed, live, the band. But we received last-minute word that Beyonce was going to use the pre-recorded vocal track. Those were the instructions we were given. We don't know what the reason why."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
This is true, I was using the outside of the wheel cover on the Chevelle and it is most likely at least 15".
But still well within the boundaries of "close enough" for this purpose I am hoping.
By the way Fozzie I am doing the exact same thing on my truck in that I am looking at making my wheel openings the same as a 53-55 or 56-57 Vette. I am not at that point where I am doing any cutting so right now while dreaming of the project I am keeping my eye out for these cars and just standing back and eye balling them thinking about it. At a recent visit to a local museum I took these photos for the project.
I hope to literally be able to take a pattern off a real car just for kicks but if I can't find someone willing to let me I will be using photos like these.
Back before photo shop I use to blow up a photo and then cut measuring carefully a known, and chop the top or section the body of the car or truck in the photo. Standing back and looking at mocked up modifications is one of the most important things you can do when customizing a car. All too often this is done in hast and the cutting and welding is done before a real good look has been done. A photo cut up on your dining table and taped or glued together is one way to mock up your cars modification and "stand back" and get a good look at it. Now this is just one dimensional and you can't walk around and get different angles of it, but it is better than nothing.
I have one of these photos on the wall of my garage that I did of my truck 15 years ago, hopefully I will be back on the truck in not too long. Right now it's just inspiration to finish the project I am on.
Your welcome, now have fun!
|hotrod fozzie
|thank you for the help seems very logical , I am glad you took the time to help me out!!!
Take the measurements right off this photo.
Right on your computer monitor, measure a "known" like the diameter of the wheel. We know it's a 14" wheel. If you take a piece of paper and put it up on your monitor marking off what the diameter of the wheel is you now have a standard to go by. You then put a piece of paper on the screen across from the front of the wheel well to the rear of the wheel well and using your standard measure the distance from the line up to the arch. I find that it is almost exactly half as far as the diameter of the wheel making that measurement you are after to be 7". Yes this is kinda crude and it may be off a bit but what does it matter if you are doing a customer mod anyway?
What looks good on your truck is what really matters. Taking this rough measurement and mocking it up somehow on your truck you can get a good idea of how it will look. Mock it up with cardboard or something, be sure that the cardboard is the same color as the truck so it doesn't give you some illusion and get it out side so you can stand back and look at it.

A QUESTION FOR 64-65 malibu/chevelle owners
I am building a custom truck and like the height of the rear wheel archs on the 64 and 65 chevelle , can someone who owns one do me a favor? Run a string line from the front to the back of the quarter panel at the bottom and give me the measurement up to the center of the wheel arch? It would be like if you lowered a car and measured from the ground up to see how much lower you are except your not going from the ground but measuring up from the string I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE AND YOU CAN HELP PLEASE!!!

FDA Requires Warning Labels for Sunlamps and Tanning Beds
Love the look of a suntanned body? Lots of people do, particularly young women and teens. But, that tanned body comes with a higher risk of skin cancer according to the American Academy of Dermatology and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
That's why the FDA is changing its regulation of sunlamp products and UV lamps intended for use in sunlamp products. The changes strengthen the oversight of these devices, and require that sunlamp products carry a visible, black box warning stating that they should not be used on people under the age of 18.
Previously, the products were listed as low-risk. The new category raises the risk to moderate.
Even though the new warning is now mandatory, it is not against the law for minors to use tanning booths and sunlamps, although a few states have gone ahead and banned the use of indoor tanning salons for people under the age of 18.
The American Academy of Dermatology says studies have shown people who have been exposed to UV rays from indoor tanning have a 59% increase of developing melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer.
"The FDA has taken an important step today to address the risk to public health from sunlamp products," said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "Repeated UV exposure from sunlamp products poses a risk of skin cancer for all users, but the highest risk for skin cancer is in young persons under the age of 18 and people with a family history of skin cancer."
This change is due to concerns that the effects of UV radiation add up over time, and children and teenagers who are exposed to indoor UV radiation are at greater risk for skin and eye damage.
"There is increasing evidence that tanning in childhood to early adult life increases the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma," says FDA dermatologist Markham Luke, M.D., Ph.D. In fact, according to an overview of studies published in the journal Pediatrics, melanoma is the second most common cancer in women in their 20s and the third most common cancer in men in their 20s in the U.S.
Luke adds that many experts believe that at least one reason is the increased use of sunlamp products by U.S. teenagers and young adults.
Not everyone believes sunlamps that emit UV rays cause skin cancer or health problems.
Representatives for the Indoor Tanning Association say they are disappointed in the reclassification. "I just don't think the science is there," said John Overstreet, executive director of the association. "I think it's blown out of proportion. We are obviously disappointed in the FDA's latest moves."
Others believe that the FDA is over-stepping its boundaries. Tanning salon advocates say parents should be making the decision about whether their children are allowed to use tanning salons and sunlamps and that this is just the first step toward government control over what should be parental choices.
The FDA overview suggest that doses of UV radiation emitted by high pressure sunlamp products may be up to 10 to 15 times higher than that of the midday sun, an intensity not found in nature. UV-A radiation penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin and is often associated with allergic reactions, such as a rash. This is not to say that outdoor tanning is safe. In fact, the World Health Organization has classified all UV radiation as a carcinogenic (cancer causing).
Skin cancer is not the only possible side effect of UV rays. The rays may also age the skin prematurely causing wrinkles and loss of elasticity of the skin.

The Canisius baseball team dropped a doubleheader at Rider University on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins lost 4-3 and 10-7, seeing their six-game winning streak and nine-game road winning streak come to an end. With the two losses, Canisius falls to 20-9 overall and 4-4 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Game One – Rider 4, Canisius 3
Junior Garrett Cortright pitched out of trouble in the first two innings as Rider stranded a baserunner in scoring position in each inning. The Griffs scored the first run of the game in the third, getting back-to-back one-out singles from sophomore Mike Krische and senior Christian Segar. After Krische was picked off at second base for the second out of the inning, junior Jesse Kelso scored Segar with a two-out RBI double. Canisius extended its lead to 3-0, mounting a two-out rally in the fourth. Sophomore Connor Panas singled and junior Jose Torralba followed with a two-out walk. Junior Ronnie Bernick doubled to left center to score both baserunners and put Canisius up by three.
Cortright retired 11 consecutive batters before hitting Eric Strano with one out in the sixth. Rider then put together four straight one-out hits to score four runs and take the lead. Jerry Mulderig doubled with one out to put two runners in scoring position while an infield single from Adam Wayman scored Strano and put runners at the corners. Nick Crescenzo singled to right to score Mulderig and advanced to second on an error by Segar. Justin Thomas then singled to right to score both runners and put Rider up 4-3.
The Griffs threatened in the eighth and ninth innings, as Kelso led off the eighth with a single and a one-out double from senior Brooklyn Foster put two runners in scoring position. Rider starter Tyler Smith got junior Shane Zimmer to line out to short and Panas to fly out to right to end the threat. In the ninth, Torralba drew a leadoff walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Bernick. Krische would beat out an infield single to get two runners on with one out. Rider closer Zach Mawson got Segar to ground out to short, which advanced the runners into scoring position, but Kelso to ground out to first to end the game.
Cortright (6-2) allowed four runs, three earned, and seven hits, walked one and struck out five in eight innings. Smith (5-2) gave up three runs on a season-high 10 hits, walked one and struck out three. Mawson earned his league-best sixth save of the season.
Game Two – Rider 10, Canisius 7
Rider (15-12, 4-1 MAAC) scored the first five runs of the game, all coming with two outs. Crescenzo and Ian Lindsay had two-out RBI singles in the first, Strano had a two-out RBI single in the second and Thomas had a two-out, two-RBI double in the third to put the Broncs up 5-0.
Canisius battled back in the fourth, scoring four runs on just two hits. Sophomore Jesse Puscheck led off with a single and Torralba drew a one-out walk. Bernick reached on a fielder's choice, with an error scoring Puscheck and putting two runners in scoring position. Junior Ryan Coppinger worked a one-out walk and after freshman Brett Siddall struck out, junior Jimmy Luppens came through with the bases-clearing double to make it 5-4. Rider matched those four runs with four runs of their own in the bottom of the fourth, regaining the five-run lead. The Broncs added another run in the sixth before Canisius attempted to rally in the seventh. Freshman Anthony Massicci had a pinch-hit RBI double, Bernick had an RBI groundout and Segar reached on a error that allowed Massicci to score and make it 10-7. Chris Taylor got Siddall to ground out to end the game.
Stewart (2-4) took the loss for the Griffs, allowing seven runs on nine hits in three innings. Sophomore Aaron Casper allowed one run in 2.2 innings of relief.
Canisius and Rider conclude the three-game series on Sunday, with first pitch set for noon.
Game Notes: Canisius out-hit Rider 11-7 in the first game and lost for the first time this season (18-1) when out-hitting the opponent… Canisius scored seven runs in the second game and fell to 18-2 this season when scoring six or more runs… Canisius loses a series to Rider for the second time in the last seven seasons… The three-inning start for Stewart (23 career starts) was the shortest of his career...Bernick extended his hitting streak to a season-best six games while Kelso now has a five-game hitting streak… Segar has multiple hits in seven of his last nine starts… Siddall also extended his hitting streak to five games… Torralba had three walks in the doubleheader after entering the day with three walks on the year (86 at-bats)... Canisius went 5-for-24 with runners in scoring position while Rider went 11-for-25.


text: 2T4Y, there are many reasons why I think Tay's departure is more urgent than Rip's. First, let's analyze Tay the player. Typically the following abilities are attributed to Prince:Good defensive player.Glue-guy that keeps the team together.Veteran presence that provides leadership.Capable scorer as a 3rd option on the team.These qualities made Prince an invaluable piece of the 2004 championship team. Now, let's look at these one by one. #1: This no longer is true. Prince has become a lousy defender over the past few years. This may be more due to the fact that he doesn't care as opposed to diminishing skills. Whatever the reason is, he can no longer guard his man. He runs back during opponents' fast breaks, but not to challenge the shot. He simply runs parallel to the attacker and makes sure he gets out of the way. His perimeter defense is laughable. He's always late to rotate. He does put up a hand when he's defending shots, and he never fouls a shooter. That's because when he puts up his hand, it's more because it's something he's supposed to be doing as opposed to really trying to alter the shot. He is getting lazier and more disinterested every day. #2: This no longer is true either. He openly challenges the coach constantly, he rarely involves other players in the offense once he has the ball and he doesn't seem to care for any of the youngsters. Not only he is no longer "the glue", he is actually hurting team chemistry. Perhaps not with his words, but by his behavior, especially on the court. #3: He is a veteran, there's no doubt about that. However, none of his experience seems to influence anyone on the team. "Screw y'all, I'm the only one that can score and I ain't passin' the rock" attitude is not a way to lead a team. Arnie's bananas provide more leadership than him. #4: For long stretches in each game it looks like he feels like he's the #1 option and doesn't give the ball up. He ends up using too much of the clock and keeps forcing very difficult shots. He does score, but his one-man-above-all offense really throws off any rhythm and coherence the team has. As a result, even on nights where he scores a lot of points, his scoring actually hurts the team more than it helps. So, none of the qualities that made him a special player in the past apply any more. Prince without those 4 qualities is a mediocre player who is past his prime. Nothing more. On top of all this, his defeatest attitude, his ball hogging and bad decision making and Q's tendency to overplay him all make a bad situation worse. I really really like Prince as a player. Well, at least the player he used to be. I truly believe he has 2-3 more good years left in him. Just not here. His departure will be good for everyone. He will play better wherever he goes, and our team will be able to move forward. On the other hand, Rip can still produce. He can still score a lot of points and he is capable of mixing it up. Granted his departure would also be a very good thing for this team going forward, but he hasn't strayed away from the qualities that made him an All-Star. He is still a reliable mid-range shooter, still one of the best in the league. He can hit the spot-up three and post-up. Still can shoot the FTs at a good percentage too. Oh, and also, Q has been managing his minutes much better than last year. I see Prince as a roadblock to any wins. Rip on the other hand is still serviceable. Also, a Stuckey-Gordon-Rip backcourt rotation is much better than a Stuckey-Gordon-Bynum backcourt. I would prefer to see more of Bynum's minutes go to Gordon. Also, with Prince gone, T-Mac will play more minutes at SF, which will also mean more minutes to go around for guards.

Need some pointers on Holley carb
I'm going to go look at a Holley model 4150 390cfm carb tomorrow and wanted to get some insight on what to look at when I see the carb to help keep me from buying a piece of junk. I pretty much have only dealt with Edelbrocks and my knowledge of Holleys is pretty minimal. When talking to the guy he told me that the only thing wrong with the carb was the rod that opens the 4 bbl is missing. This carb was on a Ford 300 I6, I'm thinking the rod was removed to keep the 4 bbl from opening and use the carb as a 2bbl. Just a thought that I had. I would think that this rod could be replaced fairly easily.
When I look at this carb, what would you all suggest I look at or for? The guy is asking $50 and I might be able to get him to come down a little from this. I'm sure if it is in good shape, I'll probably have to put a kit in it anyways, which would be a good thing for me, it would help me get a better knowledge of how the carb works.

Students who walk through the Rudolph Campus on a regular basis are aware of the beautiful and vast scenery that exists around them. The wide varieties of buildings throughout the area provide students with unique and eye-catching surroundings that enhance the learning environment excessively. These buildings all serve their own purpose within the college community in both academic and administrative facilities. Despite the smaller population of the college, however, some of the students go through their undergraduate and graduate careers without visiting some of the most fruitful buildings available. The Anthony Giordono Gallery, located at the corner of Idle Hour Boulevard and Montauk Highway, is one of the most unknown areas on campus by the student population. This building acts as an open gallery, which exhibits artwork from chosen artists around the world, as well as, utilizing a studio facility for the ceramics subsection of the Visual Arts Department. The gallery alone hosts some of the most successfully attended exhibit openings, as well as, its own student exhibition featuring the work of the major studio students from Dowling College. Most colleges around the world are unfortunate to lack a gallery of their own, giving Dowling a unique addition to its educational community.
Pamela Brown, an adjunct professor in the Visual Arts Department, directs the Anthony Giordono Gallery. Professor Brown specializes in sculpture and three-dimensional design, providing a variety of classes to art students which introduce the creative world in relation to space and dimension. Brown works closely with other members of the Visual Arts faculty to choose artists for the gallery exhibitions that will give students insight on a broad spectrum of artwork and design. After an artist is chosen, Brown will curate the exhibition and work with various faculty and students to organize an opening and gallery schedule. The artwork that is featured at the gallery range in value, but each exemplifies its own unique artistic quality that is important for students to encounter during their studies in the art field. Faculty and staff can schedule class visits to the gallery at any time during the school year in order to get a personal tour of the artwork, as well as, insight from the gallery director herself. Many faculty will also choose to make gallery openings part of his or her syllabi to give students a chance to experience the business end of artistic showings.
For this coming school year, the gallery has many extraordinary shows planned for the community. Each show is available during the noted dates and will be available for public viewing during the gallery hours. A reception will be held for each, with a lecture by either the artists or the Visual Arts faculty for all who wishes to attend. Each issue of the Lions Voice will provide up-to-date information on the current and upcoming exhibition for the Anthony Giordano Gallery.

Breon Dunigan, Dorothy Frankel, Elaine Grove, Gloria Kisch, Wendy Klemperer, and Arden Scott July 2011 July 2012 Reception: October 15, 2011 1:00pm 4:00pm Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Artists Presentation at 2:00pm
This exhibition is located between the grounds of Fortunoff Hall and the Racanelli Center. The reception will take place during the Rudolph Campus Open House, with a presentation from each included artist.
Sites for Sculpture is a public exhibition installed on site at Dowlings Rudolph Campus. Pamela Brown, Director of the Anthony Giordano Gallery, and Christina Strassfield, Direction o Guild Hall, chose the sculptures for the exhibition that they found were the most exemplarily fitting for the campus. Each artist chosen has earned a great deal of public recognition for his or her work prior to the Dowling exhibition. These six artists have a varied background in terms of artistic studies, as well as, a varied method of creating artwork. The artwork featured has a great deal of uniqueness to one another, yet their presence on campus unifies them to the fullest extent. With a visible trend in public artwork coming about during the last few decades, Dowling College has been given a great opportunity to be engrossed in the presence of the contemporary art world, as seen placed in nature. The artwork is accessible to all students and faculty on campus, creating a beautified atmosphere around each piece.

Susan Jennings with Sound by SlinkMoss September 7 October 23, 2011 Reception: September 25, 2011 1:00pm 4:00pm (Faculty presentation: 2pm)
This exhibition will feature artwork that exemplifies video art, original music and lyrics, sculpture, collage, spoken word, sounds, movement and shadows. Susan Jennings is a New York based artist that uses a variety of media to present a unique and intellectual show that transforms each piece of artwork into a living object of artistic quality. Her materials incorporate sound and video with tangible items to represent the human emotion which develops in the presence of performance and musical art. Slink Moss collaborates with Jennings throughout this exhibition to include his own sound which is said to be a hypnotic, pneumatic rhythm according to Dr. Stephen Lamia, a Visual Arts professor and exhibition curator.
Jennings has won several awards for her coming of age artwork, including her recent acceptance of both the Louis Comfort Tiffany Fellowship and the Art Production Fund Artists at Giverny Fellowship and Residency. She received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.F.A. from Hunter College. Slink Moss, a Chicago born artist, has been featured in venues such as The Museum of Modern Art and Webster Hall NYC. He has also written songs that have appeared in many movies featured on MTV. He received his graduate degree from the Art Institute of Chicago.

Craig Eastmond makes his first Premier League start at Bolton Wanderers this afternoon as Arsène Wenger makes three changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Everton last weekend.
The Gunners also welcome back Cesc Fabregas from injury and Gael Clichy returns on the bench.
Tomas Rosicky scored a stoppage-time equaliser against Everton and he's rewarded with a starting berth at Reebok Stadium.
Denilson and Aaron Ramsey miss the game through injury and Samir Nasri also drops out of the side with a hamstring injury.
Arsenal team in full: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Traore, Eastmond, Rosicky, Fabregas, Diaby, Arshavin, Eduardo
Substitutes: Fabianski, Silvestre, Clichy, Merida, Coquelin, Emmanuel-Thomas, Vela


text: Ok. This question came to me yesterday while watching a Freestyler coach some other young Skaters during Public Skate at my Rink. So I thought it might be interesting to find out who here actually does just that. So is there anyone here who on the side actually takes time out at a Public Skate to give little lessons to Skaters at a Public Skate at their Rink? BTW. I was wondering yesterday too,if when you see Freestylers giving little lessons like that...what more then likely has happened (besides of course a Family Member. Or knowing each other) for that person to get that lesson? For example...am I right at saying it's just a matter of finding a nice enough Skater who just might be kind enough to take a little time out to help you? Or do they get paid to do that? Thanks.

I'm not sure what your "dump" reference means, but I think I understand the rest of the question.
First, in my experience with U.S.-made guns, most shotguns will have acceptable ammo types stamped into the metal of the barrel, near the receiver (example: "2.75 and 3-inch shells only"). Normally, in any shotgun gauge or caliber, a person can safely use a shorter shell in a longer chamber of the same bore size. For instance, if you have a 12 gauge shotgun with a 3-inch (75mm) chamber, you can safely use 12 gauge 2.75-inch (called two and three-quarters-of-an-inch, or 70mm) shells in it. If the weapon has a recoil- or gas-operated semi-automatic action, the shorter (and usually lower-powered) shells may not supply enough energy to cycle the action and load the next round into the chamber automatically, but it will still fire safely. The same is true of the longer 3-and-a-half-inch 12 gauge shotguns, usually used for long-distance hunting of heavy birds like geese or turkeys. You can safely fire the shorter 2.75 inch and 3 inch shells in it, although you might have cycling problems with low-powered ammo. Never mix bore sizes between gun and ammo, like attempting to fire 20 gauge shells in a 12 gauge gun. Never chamber a LONGER shell that your gun is intended to use; sometimes it seems like it will "fit" into the gun's chamber, but it will not have enough room to safely unfold the end crimp when fired, and the increased pressure will almost certainly wreck the gun and possibly injure/kill the shooter (or others nearby).
For the final word, check the user/instruction manual that comes with the weapon; it should have a list of acceptable ammo types for that weapon. If you don't have the manual (used guns sometimes don't come with one), some manufacturers have posted copies of their manuals online, and some folks have made and posted electronic copies for the out-of-production guns.
Finally, if the gun is very old, it should be examined for general safety by a certified gunsmith prior to being fired. Very old laminated or "twist" barreled guns, or any gun that was intended for black powder use should NEVER be fired with modern smokeless gunpowder shotgun shells.
The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) has a handout that lists unsafe gun/ammo combinations; it can be found here:
with the shotgun info listed on page 3.

Wow! And Wow Again! There is no one picture or description to describe how good Marquee's first Winter Pool Party was this past Sunday afternoon. There were a lot of plus factors in favor of the timing, a lot of people were in Vegas for the Magic Convention; it was day two of a three day weekend; the weather was perfect, and there was a lot of industry ready to show their Summer Bodies they have been working on all winter. I was very I impressed to start receiving texts from various nightlife industry at 2pm, asking me where I was and telling me how crazy the party had kicked off. I walked in a little after 3pm, to the inside of the club going strong, with almost every table sat and most people in swimsuit attire. There was a lot of bottle popping inside and the outside was a get in where you fit in event! The crowd was beautiful, from the many guys showing their abs, to the girls looking like they were out of a Maxim Swimsuit Issue, it was a bring your A-Game kind of afternoon. Dash Berlin killed it, everyone was definitely given a real taste of EDC, even if you didn't like EDM, you did yesterday. Brilliant Event, will be one of the best pool parties of the year, and amazing that it was pulled off in the middle of February on Valentine's Day Weekend, where Friday and Saturday were weak nights all over The Strip.

What other benefits have you received?
Have you found this career a disruption of normal living standards?

Sports Champions 2 PlayStation 3
- Publisher: SCEA
- Release Date: Oct 30, 2012
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Nov 10, 2012To wrap it up, if you enjoyed the first Sports Champions game, or motion controlled sports games in general, Sports Champions 2 is definitely worth a look. Even with only 6 events, the challenging Arcade Mode and very customizable Party Mode along with the wealth of options and unlockables available will keep players busy and moving for many hours.
Nov 6, 2012The Move is in dire need of AAA software and although I can't say Sports Champions 2 qualifies, it's definitely a must for Move owners who enjoy being active while indoors.
Oct 22, 2012Sports Champions 2, if nothing else, has shown just how the Move can be effective on a new set of six game types. While Tennis fell flat, Archery remains strong, and the Bowling portion was an absolute blast. I know that I just added bowling to our Sunday family game night, and for that I can certainly recommend Sports Champions 2.
Dec 3, 2012There are not many surprises in Sports Champions 2. Still six different sports games, the challenge mode stayed the same, only the characters can be individualized and the party mode is new. Because of the small content of six games including a recycled archery game, the rating remains the same compared to its predecessor, even if there is a party mode and customizable characters. Sports Champions 2 guarantees solid family entertainment with soreness warranty.
Oct 31, 2012Sports Champions 2 is some of the most fun you can have with a PlayStation Move controller in your hand. The title is accessible enough to make it a perfect fit for parties, but it boasts enough depth to keep enthusiastic gamers occupied long after everyone's gone home. The activities are largely well selected, and the calibration improvements are technologically impressive. It's just a shame that online multiplayer's still absent, otherwise this would have been an unmissable release.
Oct 29, 2012Well, here's a nice way to change things up: a Move game that actually works brilliantly! You'll have to take the long loading times and the mediocre presentation for granted though.
Oct 22, 2012Rather than being all about sports, Sports Champions 2 takes the intense competition found in these six sports and turns them into a party game. Taking pointers from other party games, Sports Champions 2 puts you and up to three others (four total) against each other, tournament-style.
Oct 22, 2012With two controllers, you're getting the best PlayStation Move title available.
Nov 2, 2012Showing one more time that PS Move is capable of a 1:1 body simulation, Sports Champions 2 strikes back with five new categories and a familiar one that, in case of Boxing, Bowling or Tennis, is a whole workout session, demanding physically from the player(s). Pure fun in multiplayer, we still miss that online mode which still resists to appear. Although not everybody can make use of it, playing with two Move sensors multiplied the fun and the challenge.
Nov 3, 2012I like Sports Champions 2, and Zindagi Games should be applauded for clearly mastering the device about as well as any developer has. But Sports Champions 2 doesn't rise much above its predecessor, either, and it's not a game that I'd recommend going out and buying if you also have to invest in a PlayStation Move and PlayStation Eye.
Official PlayStation Magazine BeneluxDec 4, 2012Our favourite from the first game, table tennis, has been replaced by good old regular tennis and while it plays well (the game accurately represents your wrist turning and twisting), the avatars all move like they've got a stick up their asses. [December 2012, p.66]
Nov 22, 2012A decent choice for any PS3 owners looking to get off the sofa this Christmas.
Nov 19, 2012In the end, Sports Champion 2 is a fun game that definitely targets the casual/family audience. Solo is okay but where the game shines is through local multiplayer as you play golf, ski and box your way to victory. If you're after a good PlayStation Move game, than this is it probably it for 2012!
Oct 30, 2012First thing that comes to mind: hallelujah, it works. One of the best PlayStation Move games so far. A diverse collection of sports for both the elderly, children and everything in between. Want to have a fun night playing digital sports? Sports Champions 2 is your game.
Oct 22, 2012Not the most attractive selection of sports on offer, but a shed load of content, solid local multiplayer and smooth Move implementation makes Sports Champions 2 ideal for some healthy competitive gaming between family and friends.
Nov 26, 2012Sports Champions 2 delivers on what it intended to deliver: fun and easy sports games that everyone can pick up, play and enjoy, but the gameplay isn't deep enough to keep us playing for hours.
Jan 14, 2013The game is technically proficient but unfortunately Sports Champions 2 fails to offer the unique and interesting events that the original did. There are better examples of most of the sports in other packages or more focused games.
Jan 7, 2013Sports Champions 2 feels more like an expansion than a full sequel, but the low price point, a few well designed events and the party mode makes the game worth a look if you want a good party game for your PlayStation 3.
Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Nov 20, 2012Building on that solid foundation, its more polished sequel gives armchair athletes another great reason to get off the couch. [Holiday 2012, p.76]
Nov 5, 2012Even though Sony obviously took a good look at Wii Sports to get some inspiration for this sequel, it is fun to play, mainly thanks to the tight Move controls. But why are just six disciplines on display?
Oct 31, 2012The five sports are well executed and there's plenty to keep you playing – from the core events, challenges, online scoreboards and multiplayer. In many ways it feels indicative of motion-controls reaching a maturity of sorts; sure, the carefree magic of its youth may be fading, but it still delivers a polished and satisfying, if slightly uninspiring selection of sporting goodness.
Oct 27, 2012Sport Champions 2 is, ultimately, an upgrade over the last chapter of the sports sim on Playstation Move.
Oct 23, 2012Probably the best Move game around. Which isn't saying much unfortunately.
Feb 7, 2013If Sports Champions 2 contained all the previous game's sports and added a bunch of new ones, it would have resulted in a much more complete title than the current offering we have here. So unless you crave endless character customisation with a few regular sports (that have been done better in other games) thrown in, then you are better off picking up the original title over this sequel, as it will be much cheaper and far more enjoyable.
Play UKNov 30, 2012You really shouldn't bother at all. [Issue#225, p.81]
CD-ActionFeb 6, 2013Move is still a gadget that you can do without – Sports Champions 2 doesn't change that. [CD-Action 02/2013, p.70]
Playstation Official Magazine UKNov 15, 2012A less satisfying package than the original, but it's nevertheless a strong showcase for Move. [Dec 2012, p.116]
Nov 12, 2012Sports Champions 2 tries to do better than the first title with new events. Skiing, Boxing, Golf or Tennis are now to be played. Déjà-vu but far more relevant. Motion control mechanics are pretty good but the gameplay isn't deep enough to really keep us playing for hours. There are only six events available anyway.
Oct 18, 2012Sports Champions 2, just like its predecessor, attempts to overcome the throne of Wii Sports. Thanks to the new sports included and the same, funny gameplay, it partially achieves that goal. Unfortunately, some issues with the controller drive the game off-road.
Nov 19, 2012What Sports Champions 2 lacks in visuals, sound and originality is balanced for the most part by its accessibility; however the end result is an entirely average experience. The choice of sports is questionable with many events having been done before in other games, even for the PS Move.
Nov 6, 2012Sports Champions 2 is an unoriginal, predictable, yet satisfying experience.
Nov 6, 2012A wasted opportunity to redeem PlayStation Move, with a horribly uninspired range of sports that barely work any better than back when they were Wii Sports games.
Oct 22, 2012While there's nothing technically wrong with the game, it just feels like there's so much missed opportunity with Sports Champions 2.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:08am
HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac Men's Lacrosse Eric Fekete and Director of Athletics and Recreation Jack McDonald have confirmed that assistant coach Bruce Frady has been promoted to Men's Lacrosse Associate Head Coach.
"Bruce has been an integral part of our program's success both on and off the field," said Coach Fekete. "His outstanding commitment over the last eight years has warranted his elevation to Associate Head Coach. I appreciate both Jack McDonald's and Mark Thompson's support on this initiative."
Bruce Frady is in his eighth season with the men's lacrosse program at Quinnipiac University. Frady has been instrumental in the success of the program, especially in the team's transition through conferences a few years back. Frady works with the Bobcats defensive unit and goalies while helping with the recruiting process as well.
Last season, Brady was responsible for a formidable Bobcats' defense that led them to a NEC Semifinals appearance. Under Frady's guidance, Chris Coppolecchia was named to the 2012 Northeast Conference First Team, after causing 43 turnovers, collecting 61 ground balls and claiming 16 face-offs in the circle. Furthermore, his average of 3.07 caused turnovers per game ranked him first in all of Division I men's lacrosse.
In2011, Frady helped produce the nation's fourth-best defense at causing turnovers at 1.79 caused turnovers per game. Due in large part to their defense, the Bobcats reached the championship game in their inaugural season with the Northeast Conference.
Among several players selected to the All-New England Team, defenseman Jake Glebocki was stellar under Frady's direction. In the 2011 campaign, he finished 19th nationally in ground balls and anchored a Bobcats defense that held the opposition to just 8.57 goals per game in 2010. In the 2008 season, Frady's work with defenseman Drew Maceranka resulted in an All-GWLL selection.
Frady joined the Quinnipiac staff after stints at Fairfield University and Eastern Connecticut State University. He spent the 2004-05 year with the Stags where he also worked with the goalies and defensive unit.
The year prior, Frady served as an assistant at ECSU. On the field, he worked primarily with the defense, while also completing various administrative duties off the field.
Frady played for three seasons at ECSU as a goaltender before turning to the coaching ranks. He has also served as the co-director of the All-Star development camp, assistant director of the Blue Chip Lacrosse camp and as a staff member at several other camps including: Nutmeg Lacrosse, Army Lacrosse, World Class Lacrosse, Princeton Lacrosse and the Players Choice camp.
Frady is a graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a BA in Communications.

Like so many others the Arsenal manager was captivated by the 2012 Games, which finished last Sunday. But Wenger wasn't just an interested spectator as the 'Greatest Show on Earth' unfolded at the Olympic Stadium and around the country.
"I was asked to speak to the French relay teams," revealed Wenger in his programme notes ahead of the Sunderland game.
"In the track and field they had six runners and only four could run. So they are not used to that. They are not used to being a team. And the coach as well, it is a little bit problematic for the team and the players who are left out.
"They prepare for four years but in the relay team there are six and on the night before, two are out. In football the two who are out have the chance to play the next weekend but [for the athletes] it might be forever.
"It is the selection issue and what it means to be a team in a situation like that. It can change someone's life to be in the relay team or not. Actually I found it not right that if a relay team wins, only four get the medal, because six prepare. It is like in football when the substitutes did not get a medal if their team wins. That should be changed."
When he wasn't helping the French athletes, the Arsenal manager was digesting as much of the Olympics as possible. And he admits it was impossible not to be inspired.
"I loved the Olympics because first of all you can put your television on all day and something happens at the top level," he said. "You see a lot of sports where you don't follow usually - the archery I followed sometimes.
"The emotional level is very high because it happens every four years only. It is emotionally massively intense. What I think is fantastic as well is that first of all you congratulate England because I think they have done remarkably well as hosts. They made it look easy and there was no incidents, which was absolutely fantastic.
"The buzz in the Olympic Village was absolutely unbelievable. You see the real values of sport and how much people can push themselves. When they manage to win after that is is absolutely fantastic to see. The intensity and effort they put in is something to be inspired by."

When you're looking for a firm to help you get out of debt, don't rely on an Internet search.By Laura CohnFrom Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, May 2009
When Lanette Bridges set out to tackle her massive pile of debt -- $30,000 in credit-card bills and bank loans -- a couple of years ago, she turned to the Internet first. Bridges typed "credit-counseling services" into an online search engine to find an agency that would help her pay it off. Bridges, an assistant teacher at a child-care center in Imperial, Mo., found an agency that promised to withdraw money every month from her bank account to repay her creditors. She signed up.
Several months later, Bridges was still getting calls from her creditors. When she contacted the agency, she was told not to worry. But she checked her balances with her creditors anyway -- and saw that her debt hadn't decreased.
At that point, a friend recommended she call ClearPoint Financial Solutions, another agency. This time, she checked with the Better Business Bureau to make sure ClearPoint was legit. It was. A ClearPoint counselor was able to talk to her creditors, explain what happened and work out a payment plan. But Bridges still lost the more than $2,000 the bogus firm withdrew from her checking account.
With consumer debt at sky-high levels, such stories are becoming all too common. Two prevalent schemes involve companies that claim to be credit-counseling agencies and firms that say they are "debt settlement" organizations. A legitimate credit-counseling agency will educate you about budgeting and how to use credit, as well as help you set up a debt-management plan if you need one. A debt-settlement firm merely offers to negotiate with your creditors. But bogus companies take your money and run.
Since 2001, the Federal Trade Commission has sued 14 firms that claimed to be credit-counseling agencies or debt-settlement firms but allegedly were neither. Last fall, as a result of one of the suits, a record $12.7 million was returned to 287,000 victims.
In a related scam, often hawked in radio ads, firms claim to be able to "repair" your credit record or make your credit score go up virtually overnight. "Steer clear of a credit-repair firm that claims it can take accurate, negative information off your credit report," says Lynne Strang, vice-president of the American Financial Services Association, the trade association for the consumer credit industry. "They can't." If your credit score has been hurt by inaccurate information, you can alert the credit-reporting agency on your own.
Is it legit? Once you get in the door, ask about fees. If the credit counselor won't talk about what the agency charges, walk away. According to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, the initial counseling session should be free or cost very little -- $15 or so. If, after a 60- to 90-minute initial consultation, you sign up for a one-time debt-management plan, the average fee is $28. If you enter an extended debt-management program, you may end up paying about $23 a month.
If the agency tells you to stop paying your creditors, that's a bad sign -- if you stop paying your bills, that puts your credit rating at risk.
Also beware of agencies that pressure you to sign up for a debt-management program. Some agencies focus on such programs because they're paid by the creditors to sign up clients.
A mediocre or nonexistent credit history could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Learn the secrets to build a stellar score while you're young.By Erin BurtFebruary 22, 2007
How much do you know about your credit score? That three-digit number is tied inseparably to our financial lives, yet many young adults haven't given it the attention it deserves. Your score can play a role in your ability to rent an apartment, qualify for a loan or even get a job. It can also affect how much you'll pay on interest charges, insurance and even cell phone contracts.
Make building a stellar score a priority while you're young and you could actually save hundreds or thousands of dollars over your lifetime. However, if you don't take your credit seriously, a bad score -- or even a nonexistent score -- will cost you.
Your credit score is basically used to predict the possibility that you won't pay your bills. They are compiled by Fair, Isaac & Co., and are sometimes called FICO scores. The top possible number is 850, but topping 800 is probably unrealistic. A median score usually falls in the 720-to-725 range, meaning half of consumers fall above that point, half below. Even if you haven't given your FICO score much thought, there are plenty of others who have or will, so you'll want to aim for the mid-700s to make the best impression on:
1. Lenders. This group is the one most people associate with their credit score. Having a good rating can help you qualify for the best rates on a mortgage, car loan, credit card and even a small business loan if you've got that entrepreneurial spirit. A nonexistent score can make it impossible for you to qualify for a loan or credit card at all. (Learn how to overcome this obstacle below.)
2. Insurers. The majority of auto insurance companies use your credit score when determining your rates, and the practice is also common among home insurers. A recent survey by Consumer Reports among eight popular auto insurers found that drivers with top scores could pay up to 31% less on their premiums than if credit scoring wasn't factored in, while those with bad scores would pay as much as 143% more.
3. Landlords. Increasingly, you may need a good credit score to rent an apartment. Landlords view your credit rating as a measure of your responsibility to pay bills on time. If your rating is below par or you don't have a credit score yet, you may have to find a friend or relative to co-sign your lease, or you could be required to pay a higher rent or security deposit.
4. Employers. When you're applying for a job, potential employers can pull your credit report as long as they notify you first. And, in fact, about 35% of them do, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Why? Bad credit can be a signal of irresponsibility, or employers might be worried you'll spend more time fretting about your financial woes than concentrating on the job.
5. Cell phone carriers. Even cell phone service providers may check your credit before signing you up for a plan. They want to make sure you're responsible and will pay your bill each month. Some utility providers may pull your report as well. If you have credit issues, you may not qualify for the best plan rates, you could be required to pay a deposit, or you could get turned down.
So, how much does your credit score affect your finances? Say we have two friends, Jim and Mark. Both took steps right out of college to start building a credit report by getting their first credit cards and an auto loan. Jim made all his payments on time, never maxed out his credit cards and often paid more than the minimum required. Mark, however, frequently paid late, overextended his cards and applied for new credit to bail him out of his mismanaged debts.
Now both are ready to buy homes, and they each apply for a $250,000 30-year mortgage. Through Jim's responsibility, he's been able to build a score of 750, qualifying him for a loan with a 6.2% interest rate, according to Fair Isaac, a credit scoring bureau. Mark's score comes in around 650, netting him a rate at 7.3% interest. Jim's monthly mortgage payment is $1,536 while Mark pays $1,718 -- a difference of $182 per month. If they both live in their homes for ten years before selling or refinancing, Mark will pay $21,840 more in monthly payments than his friend. Ouch.
Mark also gets burned on a new auto loan -- paying $1,332 more over three years on a $20,000 loan than Jim. Plus, Mark probably paid much more for his car insurance than Jim.
Even if you don't plan on applying for a loan, or getting a new apartment or a new insurance policy anytime soon, it's a good idea to start building your credit score now so it's there when you need it.
When you're starting from scratch, a good place to begin is in college where lenders hand out credit cards like candy. But don't rush to indulge. Janet Bodnar, Kiplinger.com's Money-Smart Kids columnist, advises students to get just one card their junior or senior year, use it occasionally and pay off the balance each month. It's much easier to qualify for a credit card while you're in school than after you graduate (lenders figure that Mom and Dad will bail you out while you're in college if you can't pay your bill).
If you're already out of school, or you don't trust yourself with a full-fledged credit card yet, a secured card will help you get off on the right foot. This card allows you to make a deposit with a lender (such as your bank or credit union), and the amount usually becomes your credit limit. The issuer takes on zero risk because if you don't pay on time, it can dip into your account to cover the bill. Most issuers require a deposit of $300 to $5,000. You build a history just as fast with a secured card as with a regular one. And after making payments on time for a year with a secured card, you should have an adequate history to switch to an unsecured card and get your deposit back.
A new scoring system from FICO may soon help young adults trying to build a credit history. It is based on alternative data such as whether you pay your electric bill on time and maintain a clean checking account (learn more.) So you'd do well to keep all areas of your finances in tip-top shape.
Knowing what goes into your credit score can help you manage your debts well. Here's how to make the best impression on your credit history:
Awareness and planning will help you avoid these unnecessary charges.By Cameron HuddlestonSeptember 9, 2010
It's easy to overlook fees when they're just a couple of bucks. But even the small ones quickly add up. However, most of the time you can avoid being nickle and dimed.
1. Free checking fee. Some banks are starting to attach more strings to their free checking accounts. That is, you'll have to pay a monthly fee unless you meet certain criteria (see Free Checking Is Tougher to Find). However, several online banks and community banks and some major banks still offer free checking without all the requirements to qualify.
2. Balance-transfer fee. Some credit-card companies now charge up to 5% for balance transfers. So before you transfer a balance from one card to another with a low or 0% introductory rate, you should do the math to see if the amount of interest payments that you save with the introductory offer outweighs the balance-transfer fee that has to be paid immediately. See Are Balance Transfers Still a Good Deal? You might find that you'll get a better deal by negotiating down your rate on your current card.
3. Retailer credit-card fees. The new credit-card rules make it harder for retailers to extend credit on the spot. However, that doesn't mean you'll no longer hear "Do you want to save 10% on your purchase today by opening a card account with us?" The discount is tempting, but these cards usually come with higher interest rates than traditional credit cards. If you don't pay your bill in full, that discount you got will quickly be wiped out by the high rate you'll be paying on your balance.
4. Credit-card late fees. Although the new credit-card rules prohibit card issuers from charging $25 for a first-time late payment, issuers can charge $35 if you're late a second time within six months. To avoid these fees, sign up for payment alerts from your credit-card company. You'll receive an e-mail or text message several days before your bill is due.
5. Rewards card annual fees. An increasing number of rewards cards charge an annual fee. However, there are cards with great perks and no fees. BillShrink.com recommends Capital One No Hassle Miles Rewards, Chase Sapphire Card, and Pen Fed Visa Platinum Cashback Rewards.
6. Directory assistance fees. Calling 411 can cost $1.25 or more. You can get free directory assistance by calling 1-GOOG-411 or 800-FREE-411.
7. Baggage fees. Unless you fly on Southwest or JetBlue, you'll have to pay a fee to check even one bag. If you're flying with any of the other airlines and have to check a few bags, you might find it's cheaper to send your luggage to your destination by FedEx, UPS or U.S. Postal Service Ground Shipping. See Save Money by Shipping Your Luggage.
8. Airline booking fees. Don't even think about picking up the phone to book a flight -- unless you don't mind spending $15 or more for the privilege of talking to a booking agent. Book your flights online to avoid this fee.
9. Cell phone early termination fees. You can face a termination fee of up to $200 if you cancel your service before your contract is up. You can avoid these fees by signing up for prepaid service (and save money because these plans usually are cheaper).
10. Roaming fees. Make sure that you understand the way your cell-phone roaming and international charges work. According to BillShrink.com, some roaming rates are $2.49 per minute. And, some carriers will even charge you to access your voicemail (a charge of $4.99 for a missed call) even when you don't pick up that call while you are roaming. If you send a video while roaming, you could be charged up to $7.

WTB Starter recurve or compound bow
I just got into archery and wanted something alittle nicer then my cheap kit. Ive been using a old bear 50" , something like 20-30lbs draw weight.
I was wanting to spend about 40-60$ with a string and possibly a few arrows. Might go a tad higher. Ive tried ebay, but you never know what you going to get. Id rather buy it from someone that would of take good care of it.
If you have something in old thats still a good shooter, please let me know. This is only for back yard target shooter, so dont need anything too crazy.

Here comes Soler
Jorge Soler is the next big thing.
Not as big as Yoenis Cespedes, whose four-year, $36 million free-agent contract with the Oakland Athletics almost certainly will be larger than the one Soler receives.
But the demand for Soler, 19, appears even broader, involving more teams than the auction for his fellow Cuban Cespedes, 26.
Soler, a prospect, is drawing attention not only from clubs that lost out on Cespedes, most notably the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins, but also from teams such as the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies — and many others.
Scouts say that Soler, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound right-handed hitter, possesses power comparable to that of a player with a similar build, Marlins right fielder Mike Stanton. Soler does not run as well as Stanton, however, and ultimately could end up at first base.
Reports of an agreement between Soler and the Cubs were premature. The Cubs indeed have scouted Soler heavily, according to rival clubs, but the player is not yet a free agent.
Soler's representative, Barry Praver, would be foolish to lock in a deal before the bidding even begins. Soler, though, is expected to hit the market shortly, and at that point the fun will begin.
New international spending limits for amateurs take effect this summer. Soler is not subject to those restrictions, and Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo has said that he expects Soler to receive more than the $15.5 million contract that the Texas Rangers awarded Cuban outfielder Leonys Martin.

More often than not the first thing I look at when I want to evaluate a player is their WOWY stats to see if the player boosts the performance of their teammates or suppress it when he is on the ice. Let's take a look at a WOWY comparision of Umberger and Hartnell starting with some links to their WOWY pages.
- Hartnell 2013-14 (5v5)
- Hartnell 2012-13 (5v5)
- Hartnell 2011-12 (5v5)
- Umberger 2013-14 (5v5)
- Umberger 2012-13 (5v5)
- Umberger 2011-12 (5v5)
When on any of those pages you can click "Visualize this table" to get some charts that I find are often a quick way of getting an overview of the player in question. For example, here is a CF% WOWY chart for Hartnell from last year.
In these charts it is better to have bubbles below and to the right of the one-to-one diagonal line from that runs from the lower left to the upper right. For Hartnell in 2013-14 every single teammate was the the lower right of this diagonal line which is really good. Not a lot of players have charts this nice. If you go back and look at previous years you will see that Hartnell has accomplished this relatively consistently. This is a good thing. Now let's take a look at Umberger's.
That is a much less impressive chart as the majority of Umberger's team mates have performed better when not playing with him. This is not good and yet is is fairly typical for Umberger to have WOWY charts that look like this.
This is a table of how Umberger's line mates performed with and without Umberger last season. Listed are all forwards who played at least 100 minutes of 5v5 ice time with Umberger.
|Line mate
|With Umberger
|Without Umberger
|Ryan Johansen
|Nick Foligno
|Artem Anisimov
|Blake Comeau
|Mark Letestu
And now for Hartnell's line mates who played at least 100 minutes with Hartnell last year.
|Line mate
|With Hartnell
|Without Hartnell
|Claude Giroux
|Jakub Voracek
|Brayden Schenn
|Wayne Simmonds
Again, you can go back to previous seasons and the general trend for the two players is pretty much the same. Players perform worse when playing with Umberger than when not and players perform better when playing with Hartnell than when not.
From a WOWY perspective, Umberger is a below average player and Hartnell is an above average player. In fact there aren't many players that have WOWY charts that look better than Hartnell's except for the true star players (such as Toews, or Bergeron, or Kopitar, etc.). Hartnell in my opinion is easily a top 6 player. Umberger I am not sure I'd really want on my team in any significant role. With this trade the Blue Jackets get better in two ways. First by adding a good player in Hartnell and second by subtracting a poor player in Umberger (classic case of addition by subtraction).
