"Penetrating and witty . . . Justly acclaimed in Britain, it now appears here . . . Graven With Diamonds provides a briskly intelligent, sometimes maverick interpretation of the poet's verse and a revelatory look at the subtle craft of poetry in furthering the birth of the modern state." — Barnes and Noble Review
A "refreshing counterpoint to typical books on Tudor politics and religion." — Winnipeg Free Press
"A distinguished courtier, probable lover of Anne Boleyn, and the first English poet to write a sonnet, Thomas Wyatt (1503–1542) was well positioned to make a name in belles lettres, as this lively biography attests. . . . Shulman deftly interweaves close readings of Wyatt's poems through her reconstruction of Henry VIII's court, showing how they illuminated dalliances and intrigues and even could be read as a commentary on the Reformation after Henry severed ties with Rome. Shulman's vivacious prose complements her scholarship. . . . Her delightful book puts polish to a potentially dusty era." — Publishers Weekly
"Concerned with a nexus of history and literature, Shulman's sophistication will inveigle readers of both genres." — Booklist
"A nuanced look at the poetry and life of Thomas Wyatt. Along with just about everyone else in the court of Henry VIII, Wyatt, who brought the Petrarchan sonnet to England, had to master the intricacies of the survival dance in that era—or kneel before the chopping block. . . . Readers of Hilary Mantel's two novels about Thomas Cromwell will enjoy seeing him in a different context. Shulman also reveals her own considerable lyrical chops. . . . A gracefully written, thoroughly researched story of an agile and articulate survivor." — Kirkus Reviews
"A fluid, poised, quick-witted dance through the poetic and political career of one of the most elusive, glittering figures of Tudor England." – Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall
"Masterly… the best work of history this year" — AN Wilson, Evening Standard
"A brilliant example of literary rehabilitation… A thrilling book that manages to be both scholarly and wonderfully readable" — Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday
"Beautifully intelligent and lucid" — John Lanchester, New Statesman
"Glitteringly brilliant… Everyone who cares anything for poetry should read this vivid, dynamic and exhilarating account of how and why words matter." – Times Literary Supplement
"Both sparkling and scholarly. Nothing I've ever read about the court of Henry VIII has made it so vivid… A gem." — Cressida Connolly, Spectator
"Sharp, dangerous and exhilarating" — Geordie Greig, Evening Standard

|Have you cleaned the crate with an enzyme cleaner so that he doesn't smell the traces of urine? The only suggestion that I have is to crate him, walk back several steps, then go open the crate and take him outside to potty. Work up to walking out the door and coming back immediately. And really praise him for pottying outside.
selective separation anxiety and peeing in the crate
Hi all, to say I am at my wits end with my new boy would be an understatement. As a little background Ozzy is a 5 mos old pure shep, he was on craigslist and his face stole my heart. We went tobsee him and he ran over, sat by my side and dropped his bone at my feet, it was all over. Well fast forward some and I still love my boy but he has a bevy of bad habits, one of which is seriously plaguing us... he pees in his crate. He's been to the vet and no UTI or bladder infection, clean bill of health. He will go in his crate on his own and with the door unlocked he is fine, in the house when loose, no accidents. As soon as he is crated and I am out of his line of sight, he pees. I cannot take a 10 minute shower without coming out to the fragrance of pee. Initially I thought straight separation anxiety as he barks continuously as well, however if the hubby or kids are in the room he will still do it, its me... I have to be in his line of view. The sound of my voice matters none, he has to see me. People have suggested he have free run, however he chews, counter surfs and gets into any garbage he can find... I tried taking him in the bathroom when I shower however I cannot tell you how fun showeting with a 60lb shepherd in a stand up shower is. Its really starting to take its toll.. I hate having to go anywhere because I know I will come home to a crate of pee. Even worse he gets so excited when he sees me he jumps on the crate door and sprays me in pee. Ugh. I'm not sure what to do, people have suggested board and train and I am considering it however want to know if that would aggravate the situation.

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger believes that Andrey Arshavin demonstrated his enduring class with a wonderful assist for Robin van Persie's winner against QPR.
The Russian had not started in the Premier League for five weeks before Saturday's victory over Neil Warnock's side but played a superb pass to create the Dutchman's goal.
While Wenger says Arshavin can improve further with game-time, he was delighted with the midfielder's match-winning contribution.
"I knew he would suffer a bit physically, but Andrey has that quality that at any moment in the game he can give you a ball to score, and that's what he did," Wenger said.
"We know he can be sharper than he was on Saturday but that is linked to the fact I do not play him enough."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

2. Those are probably geared more toward the police/military training crowd, rather than the average paintballer.
Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.

yes, they exist, but they are incredibly expensive. you're better off just hosing down the field if the paint bothers you that much.
Just adding to all that^^^^
The water balls are geared specifically to law enforcement and military training so they can train in their uniform and not have paint on it. Supposedly they hurt way more then normal paintballs too.

As far as Hydrotec goes, here is a statement from around Sept. 2012
Can someone conform that they are out of business. I keep reading that.
HydroTec fans: for those of you who do not follow Paul Ciesun personally (one of the inventors of this paintball and the heart of Hydrotec) he posted the following on his personal facebook page today. Please read:
Fans, I apologize for the silence on our page, and from HydroTec in general. For those of you who have followed this project, and me personally, I sincerely thank you. For those of you who are not aware, I am one of the inventors, and have been the driving force behind HydroTec for the last 9 years. In 2009, I agreed to be an employee of HydroTec as part of a deal with a local Chicago investor. However I regret to inform all of you that I am no longer an employee of HydroTec. It should also be known that it was not my decision, but was that of my investor.
It is also important to me that you all know and understand, that over the majority of this year, I have had little involvement in the companys direction. This includes keeping our faithful followers updated and informed regarding the product. Further, I had no knowledge of, nor was I ever informed of any launch at Paintball Explosion. This was also the first time I had heard of
an exclusively indoor HydroTec formula. My product plan and expectation has always been that HydroTec should be good for both indoor and outdoor play. Further, you should know that Chuck Hendsch is the sole remaining employee of HydroTec. HydroTecs other employees, (Marketing Manager, Production Coordinator, Project Coordinator, and VP of Technology/Co-Inventor) have moved on from the company.
After nearly a decade of work on this invention, I am confident that in the proper hands and with the proper care, my invention stands to change the industry we all know and love. It is with that in mind that I refocus my efforts to overcome these recent obstacles and continue to pursue what I created. Thus, I have not given up.
Thank you again to all of you who have supported me, my vision, and HydroTec over the last decade.

The .68 caliber Water Balls are extremely effective for force-on-force training where you can't leave a paint-mess behind, or can't afford case after case of paint, making them the perfect train-anywhere tools

|well - I didn't have the knee actions (first year without them). however, the stop of the mounts were stretched so I removed them. I'll have to figure out / fab up some shock mounts on the frame somewhere.
Ok Ill measure it tonight when I get home and report back to you in the am. Brothers makes a kit that has the perches and u bolt and stuff to make the change pretty easy if the ones that are on the axle dont fit. They also have a traction bar system that I will probably go with thats pretty inexpensive. I just have to fiqure our a way to mount shocks to my frame since I had those knee action type, shouldnt be a problem though!
SJFast - I agree with you. however, this is always something that can be changed, and I have to agree to stay with the theory to KISS - keep it simple for my first project.
CenterLine - phat's a good guy, and taught me a lot. however, he does this for a living. he also thinks all work has to be as pretty as his. you've obviously been doing this long enough to know your welds are solid, if not pretty as pretty as he likes.
yea - you seem a bit paranoid to me, but hey it's you that's got to feel comfortable.
maverick - I got leads on 2 10 bolts... if it isn't too much trouble could I talk you into measuring your 10B flange to flange? if it fits that well it would give me a reference point to go off of. (and even pad to pad if possible) I don't have the origianl axle to measure (yes I'm an idiot)
Iam using a GM 10 bolt out of a '76 Nova. It fit right in the orginal leaf springs. The orginal spring perches on the Nova rear are right were they need to be to fit. The pinon angle may be off but that can be fixed with a wedge. Then you can go with a ladder bar and coilover set up. TCI sells a set up like this. Iam still amazed at how well that Nova fit just like it was made for it.
Yea, he gave me crap about my welding but I challenge anyone to lay a pretty bead using flux core wire. It's not easy and the only way to make them look good is to grind them smooth once your done. I don't use gas simply because I don't like the idea of storing pressurized gas cylinders in my garage. Everyone says its no big deal but in my opinion they can be dangerous. Maybe I'm paranoid but I even feel uneasy about my air compressor and I drain that every time I'm done using it.
http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com
You want a nice ride and good handling. You put an independent suspension on the front. Why put an obsolete farm wagon rear suspension under it ?
well - that's 2 votes for leaf springs... heavy sway bar makes sense as well as the traction bars.
actually I had seen centerline's traction bar setup before (when Phat was giving him crap about how bad his welding looked :eek I'd kept the link to his page in case I decided to do a solid axle.
guess I begin looking for a donor vehicle for this.
Run leaf springs with a heavy sway bar. Easy to install, cheap, and a good ride.
if your curious to look at the kit here's the link... TCI is usually pretty good about their products, and instructions from other peoples recommendations.
I think you are correct about keeping it simple. I don't have any idea which way I need to go. I need to keep things simple, but at the same time I don't want to pour a bundle of $$$ into the project, and not be happy with the way it rides.
I'm much more concerned with the overall ride then anything else. if I can get a decent ride from the springs, then I will probably go springs.
so - how is your ride with the springs on rear? with an IFS crossmember up front am I going to be decent?
Unless you're going to race the truck I would stick with the Jag or conventional leaf springs. There are new leaf springs available for your truck that require no frame mods. They simply bolt in. You would have to modify the spring saddles on whatever rearend you chose to use but that isn't a big deal.
I haven't looked at the 4 link you mentioned but I can almost guarantee that some frame mods will be required. I always caution a novice to keep it simple on their first rod project. So if I was you I'd go with leaf springs, but good luck whichever way you go.
http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com
well - as much as performance or anything else, the ride is as important as anything to me. you mentioned that combination rides like a truck, and I don't want it to ride like a truck. if that's the case I need to explore some other options. look at total costs (also maintenance costs).
anybody have any sources where I can look at the IRS suspension? (installation, components that come with it etc.) somebody had mentioned regearing is only $50, and if it has disk breaks that would be a bonus.
TCI has a rear 4-link kit too (that I just noticed today on their website that is made for this app too). I'm sure there are better options, but for a novice it wouldn't be terrible to use it. it comes with instructions etc. that would almost make it a bolt in, and would require no frame mods. this wouldn't be a cheap option though.
don't know if I'm more decided now, or less decided.
|If you go with the Jag there's nothing else to buy. It comes assembled in a crossmember with coil-over shocks, inboard disc brakes, and mechanical emergency brakes. You mount that crossmember to your rear frame and enjoy !
My fault on the previous post I said 12 bolt and actually meant 10 bolt. Big difference in the cost of those two.
I used Dodge Caravan rear springs on my 53. Cost me $40 at a wrecking yard. They are simple bolt on units and only require you to make one bracket and weld it to the outside of the frame rail. Combine this with a mid 70's Camaro/Firebird 10 bolt Posi and everything more or less just bolts together. You can run conventional traction bars or do what I did and design your own "Cal Track" type units. (Cal Track traction devices are used on a lot of pro street race cars. http://www.calvertracing.com/)
I chose a rear with drum brakes but they are available with disks and the mid 70's years are within an inch of being the correct width.
A four link is really not necessary for the street, unless you're producing mega hp. Its totally adjustable and was really designed for racing. I run a ladder bar system on my pro-street car (street rod not race car) which is similar to a four bar and the thing rides like a race car/truck. The four bar is a bit smoother but really is more than you need for a daily driver. If you're going to be doing any real racing though I'd use one.
The Jag suspension has disks and although the chunk is easily repaired the rest of the components aren't cheap to fix. Yes it's really beautiful but if I was going to go that far I'd use a Vette rear. At least you know that will handle just about whatever amount of hp you throw at it. Just my personal preference. The Jag will work. I just don't like the idea of using foreign car parts on a street rod. That being said my pro-street car has Toyota seats and my 53 pickup has a Mazda wiper motor.
If you want to see how I did my rearend then just go to my site and check out the 53 Chevy pickup pics.
http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com
[ November 10, 2002: Message edited by: Centerline ]

what about bolt patterns & rear disk conversions? if it's a dana 44 then I'm assuming it should be pretty straight forward.
would like to go 5-lug in case I may decide to tow with this etc.
|the ring gear in the jag is a dana 44, and national drivetrain has a ton of center sections in 3,52 and 4,09 for 50$ a piece!! and i dont know where you will find a 12 bolt at that price... if you do be sure to let me know where and just for the record the jag handles way way better than the solid axle..

Whether the Semi-Auto Ban Passes May Depend on What Happens to the Senate Rules
McCain may be working to stab us in the back
McCain is now working with Leftist anti-gun Senator Carl Levin on a series of rules changes to make gun control a lot easier to pass.
The first McCain-Levin rules change would make it impossible to fight -- what's known in Washington as -- the "motion to proceed." Remember ObamaCare? Our last real shot to kill ObamaCare was by filibustering the "motion to proceed" to that anti-gun legislation. Once the motion was adopted, the bill became amendable and Harry Reid could play "let's-make-a-deal." So this change would eliminate our last real opportunity to set up a roadblock and keep anti-gun legislation from even being considered.
The second McCain-Levin rules change would make it easier to add gun control to a bill in conference. Currently, senators can block a House-Senate conference from considering an anti-gun bill. But if the McCain proposals are adopted, a "must-pass" bill could be sent to conference ... amended in conference with a draconian gun ban ... and then sent back to the House and the Senate on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
McCain will try to tell you that that inserting a gun ban into a bill that is sitting in a House-Senate conference would be outside the "scope of conference." But that would be a lie, because as any Senator knows, "scope of conference" rules are never followed. For example, the Gramm-Rudman spending guidelines were written in conference from the ground up.
The third McCain-Levin rules change would block any amendments except for those offered by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell or Floor Manager John McCain. All other senators would be left out in the cold."

I'm making a Fett Mannequin and wondered if anyone had a rough Idea on what J.B's measurements were at the time? I'm trying to make the vest, jumpsuit, and need shoe size also.
Did some searching and came up empty
Any ideas?

I'm doing the same thing. Let me know if you get anything.
His measurements now or during filming? He was 6'0" and approximately 170-175 in the early 80's (from what he remembered).
Well if I was doing a Grandpa Fett I'd say now. j/k

Thanks BF!
Ya, Im doing a Mannequin and I need to try to match what he was back then. Has this ever been discussed??
A long time ago, but I don't think the thread exists anymore. Jeremy seems to have shrunk an inch over the past 20+ years and added a few pounds, but he's not too far now from where he was back then.
I'm getting a Dickies Jumpsuit so what size would I get? 36 or 38?
Well I am 6'0'' 180 and I wear a 40-42 jumpsuit if that helps the cotton ones skrink too.
Wondering if anyone out there still may have this information.
But pretty much it is stated during filming he was 6 feet and around 170ish.
Wondering what his waist, and chest size was. I know WHO on earth would have that. but maybe some of you guys out there who has boba fetts build you can tell me what your waist and chest is.
Mr. Bulloch has a pair of my boots. I was contacted by someone a long time ago about getting a costume together for him and if I would donate a pair of boots. Someone contacted me and I gave them a size 10.5US I believe. It was so long ago. He sent me an autograph picture thanking me for the boots. I eventually ran into him at Celebration II at Indianapolis. Ask him about the fan made costume he got. He said at the time that he never got it. Only got my boots and loves them. I recently saw on the RPF that he eventually got an ESB version Fett costume. Anybody remember who ran the original project. I forgot the guy's name.
I ran into Mr. Bulloch again at C4 getting my admission ticket. He didn't remember me at first since he meets a lot of people. All I had to say was that he had a pair of my boots and he remembered who I was. Always nice. His wife is cool too.
I'm pretty sure that he did get the ESB suit recently lol
Thought I'd bump this up. I was watching British TV show on youtube where a guy was trying to reunite the cast of SW. in the interview with JB it was mentioned he wore a size 10 shoe. Hope this helps anyone that might be wondering.

SMGA envisions a network of greenways and trails that connect the places where we live, work, learn and play.
Our greenbelt uses land that is often ignored and neglected and takes advantage of existing parks and sidewalks. It offers an inviting and easy way to move throughout our community as a pedestrian or cyclist experiencing our natural landscape and heritage along the way. It helps to protect creeks and rivers, our water supply,
and habitat for native plants and animals. It reduces the impact of severe flooding and offers many other health and safety benefits.

When confusion takes over, it's almost always about a lack of focus on the intended use. Make a list of what you want to use the new blaster FOR, then match the action type/maker/model/caliber to the intended use(s). Personally, if you already have a nice .45 (and it sounds like you do), then there's probably not much you can do with a .40 that you can't already accomplish with the .45.
If you want a cheap-to-shoot range gun, then a 9mm is probably the best choice, based on ammo costs alone. I have owned several Beretta and Glock nines, and they are all as reliable as the sunrise, accurate (once you get some practice under your belt), and inexpensive to shoot (so you can afford to shoot enough to get REALLY good with it).
Another option might be to buy a Glock .40 and an aftermarket 9mm barrel and a few 9mm magazines, and have a larger caliber for more serious pursuits and a drop-in barrel for cheap practice (although the recoil impulse is higher with a .40, and you really should practice with what you carry for intimate familiarity -- IF you ever intend to carry it). I'm not a fan of the .40, but many folks are, and as long as you don't mind paying the higher per-shot cost, a Glock .40 will serve you well.
Not a fan of the XDs in 9mm or .40, so I'll let someone else do the selling on those.

Resources to ensure the quality of a software project are nearly always limited. In order to prioritize testing, reengineering, and bug fixing efforts, it is critical to be able to identify the potential risks within Java classes, methods, or projects. This paper discusses the Risk Metric, which objectively measures the risk of software as a function of two critical factors: code complexity and test coverage.
Knowing the risk metric values, Java development teams can focus efforts on the classes, methods and projects where risk is highest. This approach results in the highest possible quality levels while ensuring the best use of scarce development and testing resources.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated August 28, 2010
They found a slave of Ours whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had also given knowledge direct from Us. (Surat al-Kahf, 65)
Abjad calculation of this verse gives the date 2010. Hazrat Khidr (as) has knowledge belonging to him alone.
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on condition that you teach me some of the right guidance you have been taught?" (Surat al-Kahf, 66)
He said, "You will not be able to bear with me." (Surat al-Kahf, 67)
Hazrat Khidr (as) says, "You may regard me as irreligious, as opposed to the sharia, as bombing and destroying places, as committing murder, and you will lack the patience to bear all this."
"How indeed could you bear with patience something you have not encompassed in your knowledge?" (Surat al-Kahf, 68)
The appearance and essence of a matter are two different things. Hazrat Khidr (as) tells a Prophet "You could not bear this."
Moses said, "You will find me patient, if Allah wills, and I will not disobey you in any matter." (Surat al-Kahf, 69)
The Prophet Moses (as) says, "If Allah wills [InshaAllah]." These are the key words in Surat al-Kahf. The Prophet Moses (as) says this, and this is what Hazrat Khidr (as) is looking for.
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not question me about anything until I myself make mention of it to you." (Surat al-Kahf, 70)
That means greater patience is necessary.
They continued until they boarded a boat and he scuppered it. Then Moses said, "Did you scupper it so that its owners would be drowned? This is truly a dreadful thing that you have done!" (Surat al-Kahf, 71)
Hazrat Khidr (as) speaks face to face, accepting no third party.
The Prophet Moses (as) says, "Did you intend mass slaughter? You have done something unlawful." But Hazrat Khidr (as) acted out of revelation, and what he did was right.
He said, "Did I not say that you would never be able to bear with me?" (Surat al-Kahf, 72)
Hazrat Khidr (as) admits no other possibility, he says "never." He does not say "it would be difficult," he says "you would never be able." That is because Allah tells him through revelation, beforehand. Allah tells Hazrat Khidr (as), through revelation, that the Prophet Moses (as) would not able to bear with him. Since he has been given revelation, he says he would certainly not be able to bear with him.
Moses said, "Do not take me to task because I forgot. Do not demand of me something which is too difficult." (Surat al-Kahf, 73)
One of Hazrat Khidr's (as) qualities is that he calls to account.
The Prophet Moses (as) says, "Do not demand of me something which is too difficult," because Hazrat Khidr (as) may demand things difficult when necessary, as this is one of his characteristics.
So they went on until they met a youngster whom he killed. Moses said, "Have you killed a boy who has done no wrong, without it being in retaliation for someone else? This is truly an appalling thing that you have done!" (Surat al-Kahf, 74)
"You have killed and done wrong," he says, but Hazrat Khidr (as) is acting out of revelation.
Moses said, "If I ask you about anything after this, then you should no longer keep me company. I will have given you excuse enough." (Surat al-Kahf, 76)
Shortly after, Hazrat Khidr (as) retires having done his duty. He will not remain constantly in contact with the same place.
So they went on until they reached the inhabitants of a town. They asked them for food but they refused them hospitality. They found there a wall about to fall down and he built it up. Moses said, "If you had wanted, you could have taken a wage for doing that." (Surat al-Kahf, 77)
Hazrat Khidr (as) has no need for food, but the Prophet Moses (as) does. Hazrat Khidr (as) can eat or not, as he pleases.
The people of the town are wary of their majesty.
He immediately builds the wall. Hazrat Khidr (as) is a master stonemason, and this is also one of his attributes. This means placing all masons under his control, all of them being under his command, and they have done so, insha'Allah.
Hazrat Khidr (as) asks for no reward. That is an attribute of his, he requests neither food, nor money nor anything. A human being needs things, but he needs nothing. He does not need to sleep or eat. His having no need of anything is one of the signs of Hazrat Khidr (as).

Black Forest Industries is proud to announce the release of our newest product line:
The Clean Catch Crankcase Oil Separator, the most advanced, most functional and best looking option to remove excess oil vapor from your PCV/Intake tract.
One of the biggest concerns of the direct injection engine design - is what to do with crankcase vapor. As with all emissions compliant vehicles, the PCV gasses must be recirculated back into the intake tract. The problem with direct injection is that those latent oil vapor laden gasses then help with the process of carbon deposition on the intake valves. For many who have experienced this, you will be familiar with valves that look like this:
Click the picture for pricing and info!
Each TSI Clean Catch catch can utilizes our new VAGPORT PCV connection system and comes with pre-crimped #10 hoses, as well as all fittings brackets and hardware for installation in minutes! Each Clean Catch TSI catch can is designed to fit under the factory air cover and utilizes the same type of quick release connector used by Audi Sport and Team Joest on the Audi Le Mans prototype cars. *At this time we do not have a version that is compatible with the stock "noise" pipe*

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Aug 29, 2006.
Gooooood Morning Pistons Fans!!!!!!!!!
Hummmm.........I think I remember that guy. Maybe he will show up again someday?
RealGM: NBA Lottery Simulator lottery simulator. Orlando falling to 14th pick.
The lower the pick falls the better the odds of getting Acie Law. Well, thats the guy I want so far.
So, my understanding is that we would get 5 balls in the machine if Orlando's current position holds. So, the odds of us getting the #1 pick (which would then go to Orlando) would be 0.5%. My question is, what are the odds of the pick landing in the top 5? In other words, how likely is it that Orlando will get to end up keeping this pick? My calculations show that they will have a 6.6% chance of landing a top 5 pick. 1 - [(995/1000)x(745/750)x(544/551)x(388/395)x(269/276)] = .06579... So, if Orlando finishes 16th in the NBA, they have a 0% chance of getting their pick back (because they wouldn't get any ping-pong balls), but if they finish 17th or worse, they have at least a 6.6% chance of getting a spectacular pick. This is strange. It is very unlikely that they will get their pick back, but if they do, it will be a team changing pick. The best Detroit can do is get really lucky and have the Orlando ball picked 6th. In other words, just because we would have the least balls in the lottery does not mean that we will get the 14th pick. Could be the 10th, etc. 11-14 are all very similar odds-wise with 8, 7, 6, and 5 balls in the lottery respectively out of 1000.
How are you doing that calculation, Tashawn? I thought it was only the first three picks that were determined by drawing ping-pong balls out of the popcorn machine.
Should you be multiplying or adding? I'm having flashbacks to those awful probability class exercises that always seemed to begin with a bunch of black and a bunch of white socks in a box.
There are only 14 balls in the machine. they draw 4 balls and you'll get a combination of 4 numbers: 11-3-7-14 memphis is given a sheet of 250 possible 4 number combinations giving them the best chance to match those 4 numbers. Orlando is given 5 sets of numbers to match the winning combination. The balls all go back in and the process is started over again. Orlando has .5% chance to get any of the top 3 picks. After that, its based on their record.
Forgot about the top three and then based on record... This definitely requires a computer.
Yes. You need it to google.
I just took the 1 minus the odds of NOT getting a top 5 pick. So each of those fractions would be multiplied together. The worst team gets 250 balls in the machine, so I subtracted 250 from the numerator and denominator after the first pick and did the same for each one after that, using that team's number of balls. Based on Slippy's comment, they quit drawing after the 3rd pick? I didn't know that, but that would explain why the on-line simulators always put us in 14th place. I think in the past (1980's), only the top 3 would get a shot at it, but they changed the rule to allow 14 teams in the 90's. They later changed it again to weight it more heavily for the worse teams when Orlando won the lottery 2 years in a row as the underdog. The second time they won it, they only had a 1 in 66 chance of it. Remember when Milwaukee got the top pick a couple years ago? They had the 6th worst record in the NBA. So their odds of getting the top pick were only 63/1,000 = 6.3%. They picked Bogut. The Magic would have a 1.81% chance of getting a top 3 pick I believe. (.5% of getting #1, slightly better of getting #2, and even better of getting #3). This does not affect anything, but in reality, there are not 1,000 balls in the lottery machine. There are only 14. They draw 4 balls at a time and that will yield 1 of 1,001 different combinations (3, 12, 23, 5 for example). Each team is assigned a # of combinations. So, the Pistons would get 5 of these combinations assigned to us, while Memphis would get 250 of these combos. The reason that this high number of balls only yields 1,001 combinations is that the order of them does not matter. So the above example would be expressed as (3, 5, 12, 23). It's more like playing BINGO than having your ball drawn. Notice that there are 1,001 combos and there should only be 1,000. So, there is one combo that they don't give to any team. That would be ignored if it were ever picked. It is something like 11, 12, 13, 14. (again, what Slippy said... it just took me a while to write this post).
yeah...lottery is a misnomer. Its more like Bingo...or as this year, it could be ODOM. also, 11-12-13-14 is the black sheep combo. for this i think it means the #1 prospect has to stay in school.
how much better are the chances for the 2nd and 3rd picks? if memphis wins the #1 spot, you scratch off 250 possible combinations. at that point Orlando gets .66% ?? then if boston gets #2, thats another 199 combinations. so thats .9%?? I don't know if my math is correct. Also, I just ran the realgm thing and orlando's pick moved to 13. ACIE!!!
You can see the process described and the odds calculated here, at Wikipedia. For the purposes of our discussion: if the Magic finish the season with the best record out of all the lottery teams, i.e. the 14th worst record in the league, that means the percent chance that they get the 14th pick (which would then go to the Pistons) is 98.2%. So the pick is top 5 protected? In effect, that means: (a) If the Magic finish with one of the five worst records in the league, they keep their pick no matter what. (b) If they finish with one of the 6th through 14th worst records in the league, the only way they keep their pick is if they draw one of the combinations that gets them into the top 3 picks of the draft.
By the way, calculating the chance that any particular team gets the #2 pick is a bit messy, though not too bad. But calculating the chance that they'll get the #3 pick? Oy vey...not pretty. You'd definitely need to write a program to calculate those numbers (fortunately, they're already right there in that Wikipedia link).
Looking at these numbers, I've even more confused. The team with the worst record always seems to get a 25% chance at getting the first pick, but then the odds for the other teams appear to be based somehow on their records, not just on the order in which they finished. The odds change each season, but I don't understand how they're calculating it.
Here is a good experiment. Try refreshing the simulator over and over until the Orlando pick jumps from 13 to the top 3. According to my math, it should happen on average every 60 resets. The first time I tried it, it took 44 resets... and the Orlando pick was #1. Ouch. The Realgame sim is smart enough that it changed the Detroit logo to Orlando when they won it... b/c it knew that we have to give the pick back to them. Trial #2: 39 resets and they got #1 again. Now, this outcome should average 1 in 200, so this is an abberation. It could easily take 300 resets before seeing it again. I think I finally get it. Slips was right with the top-3 are picked in the bingo system only. After that, everyone gets sorted out according to record. In conclusion, and after a little more research, I can conclusively say that the odds of us losing our pick to Orlando are the following for each of the final finishing positions of their team: 14th pick- 1.8% (chance of losing it to Orlando) 13th pick- 2.2% 12th pick- 2.5% 11th pick- 2.9% 10th pick- 4.0% 9th pick- 7.9% 8th pick- 8.2% 7th pick- 18.3% 6th pick- 18.3% 5th pick- 100.0% NBA Draft Lottery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These percentages are taken by adding up the odds for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for each spot from the table. Edit- now I see that Dumars4Ever said most of this too.
Tashawn, you were probably putting that post together without seeing the few I did above it...strangely, the odds seem to change a bit each year based on the teams' records, not just on the order in which they finish. I don't quite get how they calculate those numbers.
Oh, I think I know why. The year that was posted on Wikipedia had a few teams that were tied. They probably didn't get as big an advantage over the team that they won the tiebreaker from (coin flip used). Timberwolves/Celtics for example. It's a little convoluted, but it makes decent sense once you understand the rules. Basically, if Orlando tanks a few more spots, it really doesn't do much for them in terms of getting the pick back. What is a 2% chance vs. a 1.8% chance? That is all I was really going after, was to see if they had a tanking incentive late in the year. I would say that no they do not. And those weird diagonal sets of numbers off on the right hand side of the table. Those just tell you how likely it is that a team outside of the top 3 will crack into the top 3. Because if that happens, then they resort all the remaining 11, and you will get pushed back a spot. If 2 crack in, you'll get pushed back 2, and if 3 do it, then you'll be pushed back 3 (very unlikely). If you look at the Hawk's odds, it is very strange. Here are their odds of landing the following spots: 1st- 13.7 2nd- 14.2 3rd- 14.5 4th- 8.5 5th- 32.3 6th- 15.6 7th- 1.3 It is really strange that the distribution is not a bell curve. 4th was their 2nd least likely spot and it is surrounded by more likely spots on both sides.
I don't think its feasible for them to drop to the 5 spot. Even if the lose every game, I don't see how far the can really drop.
