Boyd Named 2013 Recipient Of Bill Hartman Award
Sept. 25, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- David Boyd, an All-America performer for the Georgia golf team and one of the program's most ardent supporters, has been chosen as the 2013 recipient of the Bill Hartman Award.
Boyd will be recognized at Saturday's Georgia-LSU football game and will receive the award during the Circle of Honor Gala on Friday, April 11, 2014.
Named for the late Bill Hartman, Georgia's long-time kicking coach and chairman of the Georgia Student Educational Fund, the Hartman Award is one of the highest honors given to a former UGA student-athlete. The Hartman Award has been presented annually since 1992 and recognizes former Georgia student-athletes who have demonstrated excellence in their profession and/or in service to others by 20 or more years of superior performance after graduation. Only former varsity athletes who have received a baccalaureate degree from Georgia can be considered for the award.
"I am honored to receive this award, especially since it bears the name of a great man in Coach Hartman," Boyd said. "I got to know him very well when I was at Georgia. He was just so nice to me when I came to Athens. He was a great friend of my father's and he became a great friend of mine. This means an awful lot to me having his name on it."
A native of Jacksonville, Boyd won the National Pee-Wee Championship in 1954 and 1956, then captured the Florida state high school championship and was the runner-up in the Southern Amateur in 1959.
He originally signed to play quarterback for Georgia's football team but decided instead to concentrate on golf. He wrote a letter expressing his desires to Wallace Butts, Georgia's football coach and athletic director.
Said Boyd, "Coach Butts wired me back and it read, 'Golf is a great game and I hope you can go to the top. I just put you on a full golf scholarship.'"
Boyd made the most of his golf opportunity, claiming SEC medalist honors in 1962 and becoming only the third player in school history at that time to garner First-Team All-America status. Under Hall of Fame coach Howell Hollis, Boyd helped the Bulldogs win league titles in 1961, 1962 and 1963. Boyd also earned Second-Team All-America honors in 1961 and served as team captain in 1962.
"We really had some great teams," Boyd said. "My teammates at Georgia are still some of my best friends."
Boyd earned his degree in insurance and entered his family's business, The London Group, a specialty risk insurance company in the property casualty area. He and his partner sold the firm in 1972 and he continued as president until 1984 when he and Frank Kinnett co-founded Kinnett and Boyd Inc., a firm specializing in insurance mergers and acquisitions.
After graduation and throughout his career, Boyd remained close to the Georgia program. It was not unusual for Boyd to be in attendance at a tournament in which the Bulldogs were playing. In the summer of 1996, Boyd spearheaded a major fund-raising drive — launching it with a major gift of his own — and Georgia's golfers reaped the rewards. In the fall of 1998, the Bulldogs and the Lady Bulldogs started honing their games on a state-of-the-art practice facility that features multiple tee boxes overlooking a range with numerous target greens, putting and wedge play areas and three practice bunkers. A few months later, both teams moved into the $600,000 Boyd Golf Center, which includes posh locker rooms, spacious coaches offices, a lounge with a panoramic view of the UGA Golf Course's ninth and 18th greens, club storage and repair areas, computer work stations and a kitchen. Georgia has since added an indoor practice facility that allows the players to work on their games away from the elements and features video capabilities to help the players and coaches analyze swings.
Since the opening of the Boyd Center and the surrounding amenities, both the Bulldogs (1999, 2005) and the Lady Bulldogs (2001) have won national championships while combining for nine SEC crowns. Boyd was in attendance in 1999 in Minnesota when Coach Chris Haack and his Bulldogs claimed the program's first NCAA title.
"Nobody loves the University of Georgia more than I do," Boyd said. "I love that place and I love our golf program. I think the facility we put together has been a helpful aspect. Our golfers and the coaches deserve the best, and I'm happy we were able to do that for them. My teammates and I had always maintained an interest in the program and we all wanted to see the program reach the status that it once had. We could not be happier about the current state of the golf program."

Carl Sanders (1993); Atlanta developer Tom Cousins (1993); legendary former tennis coach Dan Magill (1994); former high school coach Billy Henderson (1995); former Lt. Gov.

Voted for that one, too! I do so hope to see this make it to material. I have told my students with Woot accounts to follow suit and cast their votes for you. Good luck!
Re: Waiting for Motivation
Thanks all for the nice comments and keeping this in the fog over the weekend. BTW, it doesn't work as a maze -- I'm pretty sure it'd actually be too easy since there is plenty of gaps.

This is such a wonderful, whimsical take on the theme. I wish there was a bit more polish to sell it. The concept is freakin' nice! And I love that dragon-monster. He's dragon/oni looking. Nice one. I look forward to seeing more from you, maybe with less solid color. Look in the Community for tutorials on halftones.
bassanimation wrote:This is gorgeous, helgram! Just an amazing, dream-like image. If may offer a slight critique, I feel the street lamp might be a tad overbearing on the image itself. The girl is so pretty and interesting to look at, it would have nice to see her a bit bigger, and minimize the lamp just a tad. Very minor issues, and this image is still wonderful. +1!!! Awesome work.
Agreed. Or halftone it to recede it into the background. It does overtake the focus. As an avid reader, though, I love the idea, and the colors are SO me!
Re: NOT THIS PIG!
Good heavens, I'm not crazy. Well, not insofar as my vote for this. I really did do it. I did! Honest!
OK, vote part deux.
Re: The Birthplace of Inspiration
I'm with the people that wish this wasn't on a black shirt (I'm trying to add a lot of color to my wardrobe and ditch what black shirts I do have)...but I think this design *needed* a black backdrop. blue would have killed its effectiveness.
otherwise, I really love this design. I love the flow, I love the colors used in the design (that's not a remark on the color of the shirt), and I love the concept (and I think the concept is more than suitable for the theme.)
lol! It's okay, it works well for your design too...can't really think of a better name.

you're not crazy... about the vote that is. ;)

Upon seeing this, my wife did say "you should put C*O*F*F*E*E across the bottom." A great idea, but would violate both contest rules.
Re: Persistence
I'm not really sold on this being persistence or motivation. It's more just an aspect of life. You wouldn't consider a child being pushed from a womb as motivation/persistence or a tadpole growing into frog. I like the artwork though, quite well drawn.
like it. will buy. please print.

I kind of wish he had the slippers on all feet too, and maybe he was reaching for the coffee by stretching his neck? I'm not sure how he'd drink it, but maybe that's just part of his morning slowness Still, it's cute as is.

absolutely perfect!

The mods have stated "numbers and symbols" violate the rules, so I'm surprised the big red plus symbol hasn't gotten this 86'd.
ghostglide wrote:I'm sorry, but this has nothing to do with the theme. If someone saw it randomly on the street, "motivation" would be the last thing that would come to their mind. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks cool, but as you yourself said, it's "just random scribbles".
I'd have to agree here. While I think it's cool, the only connection it has with "Motivation" is that there's "No motivation"... Which is kind of not "Motivation".
Nice design though, although I wonder a bit how it would look on a shirt for every wear.
thank you all. I appreciate the comments.
Re: Jump For It
I WOULD LOVE to own this shirt. If this is made into a shirt of the day then I will buy it and then I can look smart and deeper than I really am to people! :D
Re: Slow Morning
I like that he's only got the two slippers. It makes it look like he should be walking upright but he's just too tired to manage... Yawn...
I don't normally comment on...well...anything, ever. I'm a lurker, not a poster. However I felt the need to comment now.
This shirt is amazing! I must admit I was incredibly surprised when I saw the name of the artist after gawking at the shirt design for five minutes. That is not to say there is anything wrong with your other designs, I am just used to seeing very cutesy work (which I do usually enjoy as well).
I am an amateur artist and I have been trying to work on a piece similar to this, but am constantly unhappy with the result. I understand this shirt is how inspiration motivates YOU, however you hit the nail on the head for ME as well. The colors, the neuron structures, the birds, the fish, the design as a whole.
All I can say is WOW! You definitely have my vote. I will be very disappointed if I am unable to purchase multiple of these.
Great work, Ramyb!

A shame you're not a fan of mine and haven't ever met me. Sheesh, what's wrong with freckles?
Chump, DUDE! This is beautiful. My very first thought was this was the Shin'a'in Star-eyed goddess. Whether that played into it or not, this is just lovely.

None, that I can see. Unless it was up on another site (which of course could be a problem and is unlikely), maybe you're thinking of this by theinfinityloop?

This messes with my brain so much! I keep playing 'find the dragon' in the layout and topography of the continents. Wierd and cool.
Lol! And about the 'under the bus' comment: At least you made up for it with the Daisy.

Well done. Whenever you do designs that are more attune to this style (which happens more often than people seem to usually acknowledge), they are my favorites of yours... even though I generally like the "cute" ones too.
This shirt is absolutely fantastic as far as I'm concerned. I was supposed to not purchase any woot shirts for the month of January - I don't see that happening now. Excellent job.
Oh! It's a street lamp...I thought it was a reference to Saint Nicholas.
Lovely work Helgram.

Good day Lucy!
My name is Josué Chandler and I'm from Panama city, Panama. I'm 31 years old currently working as a flight attendant and I finally have the money and time to get my TEFL certificate. I want to get my certificate either in Germany or Brazil.
The only concern I have is how hard is to find a job as a non-native/almost no experience/no university diploma teacher. When I say almost no experience is because I taught Portuguese for only 2 months here in Panama city to a group of prospective flight attendants.
I'd love to teach in countries like Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Brazil or Argentina. I've heard from some friends that the demand of teacher is pretty good, but will they hire me with my TEFL certificate only?
What do you think about my case? What are my chances considering the economy situation in countries like Germany and Brazil?
Thanks in advance for your reply and greetings from the Caribbean!!!

Just wondering, is this game worth playing or not?
If your ping is below 100, probably.
If your ping is below 100 but you are fighting against Cesedria laggers with 800+ pings, then no.
Thanks for the replies, I'm gonna give the game a go
over all . . .
best teamplay pvp action + rts game ever . . . to me <3
simular to savage, but i think FEZ is much better, and the battle is much bigger, too.
atm, yes there are alot of issues, such as laggers, and sabotagers . . .
but hey atleast u dont see hackers xD

The Luger pistol was first introduced around 1898, when Georg Luger refined the design of Hugo Borchardt. Borchardt, incidentally, had worked both at Sharps and Winchester. He tried to sell his design to Colt, but Colt was already involved with John Browning.
The Borchardt pistol was finally accepted for production by DWM, and DWM submitted it to both the British Small Arms Commmission and to the U.S. Ordnance at Springfield Armory. While the little .30 caliber bullet looked impressive in test media, both British and American boards wanted something larger.
In 1902 one 9mm Luger pistol was delivered to the British, and in 1903 three were delivered to Springfield. These were the first four 9mm Parabellum pistols made. The German designed cartridge had a 124 gr truncated cone bullet, which was the standard until WW I.
In 1915 the German arsenals began making a round nosed bullet for ease of production, and this has become basically the standard world-wide configuration.
As a matter of interest, during the testing at Springfield Armory, live goats were used in some of the testing.

It might be called the Long Walk Women's Luncheon, but plenty of men turned up to support a very worthy cause held in Adelaide last week.
The Long Walk charity has grown out of Michael Long's walk from Melbourne to Canberra in late 2004 to highlight concerns about the situation of Indigenous people.
As patron of The Long Walk, Michael was at the luncheon to emphasise that it isn't about Indigneous and white Australians but it's about all Australians. The Womens' luncheons are also held in Melbourne and Darwin to honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
Christine Brown from Nunga Wangga asked Michael how long the luncheons had been happening here. She also spoke to Lesley Turner, Michael Long's partner and Paul Caica, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs.
Producer: Christine Brown

I teach in Madrid and intend to join a TU.
Does anyone here have an opinion on which would be the most appropriate union for an EFL teacher? I guess it would be sensible to join one of the big two, either the UGT or CCOO, but I'd be interested in any other suggestions. Does either of those or any other union have a section for language teachers?
Any information, suggestions, comments... gratefully accepted.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Emailed sheets hope it helps. here's the clutchball setup for anyone else who cares. I might have screwed up the description of the procedure a little, but check it out if you need to know.
I would appreciate you emailing me those installation instructions. my email is email@example.com
I did not build the car a friend did and then it just set in his garage for a year and a half. He put 1450 miles on it. Now I'm putting miles on it and finding the flaws.
|I have never heard of this happening, but that does not mean it is impossible. My guess would be that your clutch fork pivot ball definitely needs to be setup. If the geometry is off then in order to get sufficient clutch disengagement, the fork would kinda be on it the "tips of it's toes" trying to reach far enough and the bearing flange could returnsliding between the spring and fork. I have the identical setup (454,dual friction,lakewood,T-10) have not had that problem yet. I have the installation instructions if you need them can email if required. I measured by calculating the position off of the bellhousing face, based on the measurement they spec. They measure off the flywheel face. With a dial gauge I measured the distance of the face from the back of the engine with the flywheel on the crank. add the thickness of the engine saver plate, and then add the distance from flywheel face to the engine (bellhousing mating surface) to the spec they give you. then you should be able to measure off of the bellhousing flange to the clutch fork ball like in the pic I am attaching.
Lakewood Clutch fork clip broke/angle of clutch fork
I have a 502 in my '70 firebird, a lakewood bellhousing, centerforce dual friction clutch, richmond T10 tranny, and a ford 9" rear end with 3.70 limited slip. The lakewood clutch fork is held on by a spring clip to a pivot ball. I was slowly accelerating from a stop sign (my 2 year old was asleep in the back seat) when "clack, clack, clack, clack,......" started comming from the bellhousing area. I pushed in the clutch and it stopped. It only happened when the clutch was engaged. Luckily I was 2 blocks from where I was going. I pulled the whole thing apart (engine tranny removal) knowing it had to be related to the clutch. The only abnormality (besides the worn distributor gear) was that one of the prongs on the spring clip that holds the clutch fork on had broken off. It also apprared that the throw out bearing had been riding half under and half over it's retaning clip. Is it possible that the throw out bearing popped itself off and back on improperly and if so, what can cause that to happen? Improper clutch fork alignment/angle? Too much travel of the throwout bearing when the clutch is disengaged?
I guess I just need to know how to properly align or adjust the clutch fork and amount of throw. There is an adjustable pivit ball on the bellhousing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i just learned of sunbutter (and as someone allergic to peanuts/nuts, it was life changing!!) so i thought these bars would be similar: not so much. i understand they are following lots of guidelines (gluten free/nut free/healthy slant) but the texture was just a bit off. almost like a crunchy fudge (sounds good) but a little strange. really good crumbles into oats though!

Yummy & Filling

I agree with some of the other reviews that state that these are not sweet enough, however I made it work. I simply shoved a few chocolate chips in my mouth with every bite! These do have a nice flavor though, subtly sweet sunflower taste (like sunflower butter), with just enough salt and a nice texture. And while small for a bar, they are quite filling. Perfect for a midday or late night snack.

Nice and chewy bar.. Nice flavour. Good to have on the go. Fills me up quite nicely. Has sort of a strong undertaste.. Might just be that I'm not used to all the different syrups. I would recomend it! :D
Too small and too sweet

Should increase the volume and put less sugar. No enough for breakfast and not too healthy with too much sugar.
Good to try

These are dense bars and good for gluten free. I liked them for an on-the-go bar.

The Enjoy Life Foods are not my favourite bars. I find that Clif bars and Organic Food Bar are in another league altogether.

I think we're fortunate to win the game, as poorly as our power play was going, because that had opportunities to win it for us."'
Plenty of practice, but power play unable to capitalize very often

text: The Pistons are the best 0-3 team in the L. I don't know if there is another 0-3 squad, but still. I don't think you can pin this loss on one or two players. The wheels had come off by the end and it seemed like everyone got up a shot that missed by six feet. I thought Tay played pretty well overall. I also thought Charles G played his best game of the year but that probably had something to do with Scalabrini covering him. LA P is right, he is who he is - Charlie Garbage. Gordon went off again his first time in the game. I do not think starting him is a cureall for the team. He is a for him scorer only and the bench suits him. That doesn't mean he coupdn't get more time. Good to see Monroe get in and even better to see the Pistons reading the forum. Calling him a +11 ain't right but that was a nice put back he had and he wasn't the worst guy on the floor. The offense has done a great job moving the ball and Stuckey really hasn't forced anything. I hope it continues. Rose can fly, huh? I love Noah, he is one of my favorite players. I would have punched someone if they told me that a few years ago.

The Canisius College rowing team opened its season Saturday at the Southern Methodist Invite.
The Griffs' first strokes of the day came against Creighton, with the Blue and Gold taking second in the Varsity Four and Varsity Eight, and third in the Second Varsity Eight.
The Griffs followed that up in the afternoon against SMU, taking third in the Varsity Four against the Mustangs, then second in both the Varsity and Second Varsity Eights.
Head coach Joel Furtek was encouraged with his team's improvement from the morning to the afternoon races.
"We can see improvement already from each time down the course, with our varsity eight leading the way," Furtek said. "We're never happy with a loss, but it was a better race and an important step forward. The four and second eight each had better rows that were marred by technical failures that kept them out of competitiveness. It's clear that it has been too long since we held an oar in hand. The unusually harsh winter is holding us back, but we're hungry to apply our power. Water time is what we need, desperately, and fortunately, it's what we have in front of us. We're thankful to Creighton and SMU for the racing experience and look forward to seeing SMU again when we head to the Knecht Cup in April."
Even after the races in the morning, both Canisius Varsity Eights managed to shave time off their morning races. The Varsity Eight completed the course in 7:12.00 against SMU, eight hundreths of a second faster than in the morning vs. Creighton, while the Second Varsity Eight shaved just under eight seconds off its morning time. The Varsity Four posted its best time against the Blue Jays, finishing in 8:27.83.
"We had quite a wake-up call this morning," Furtek said. "I'm proud if the five novices in our four, who fared pretty well. They have some technical changes to make and I look forward to big improvements. The 2V8 never really got into the race and didn't bring the result they were capable of. It's a disappointment that has to serve them well as a lesson, and quickly."
"The V8 got off well and was racing as expected but when the challenge came, we responded individually rather than as a boat, and Creighton rowed a great race to put us away. Overall we rowed as we should expect - like it was our third time on the water since last Fall."
Canisius will now finally have some time on the water, staying in Dallas, Texas for the week to train before heading to Austin for next Saturday's Longhorn Invitational on the campus of Texas.
Varsity Eight: Amber Giambone, Molly Murphy, Corrine Kickel, Julie Sciandra, Liz McKinney, Nora Kennon, Allison Braun, Bridget Lazewski, coxswain Hannah Blum

there aren't as many parts on the MoW classic pack compared to the stubby, so it's pretty easy.
first, did you get the template for the holes for the nozzles? cut out the paper template, put it in place and mark where those get cut out. i used a small drill bit on my dremel, on the inside of the line drill a series of small holes. once you've got enough you should be able to push the center out. then take a drum sanding bit and smooth the edge. make sure the nozzles fit in the holes snug but not so tight that they're difficult to get in there.
the rocket assembly is pretty self explanatory. slide the collar piece into place on the upper part of the rocket, then on the lower part put a little two part epoxy in the recess and slide the two parts together.
there's a larger collar piece that you can just epoxy to the top of the jetpack body.
attaching the rocket is where things get a little more difficult. what i did was i cut the part that slides into the main fuselage, then i took a trip down to ace hardware to get some pvc plumbing fittings. you're going to need a threaded coupling and a matching plug. now these don't thread all the way in, they get tight well before they're all the way twisted together. i think i got the 1", but you should double check to make sure you get the right size. i cut a recess into the base of the rocket to fit the plug. once it fit in there snug i held it in place with epoxy. now the coupling is going to be too tall to fit into the rocket cradle on the body of the pack. so thread it on the plug as far as it will go, then mark the depth on the coupler and cut a couple threads deeper than the mark. then a little more epoxy on the coupler, center it in there, and let it dry.
Hello give me a couple days and I will post some pictures of my Man of war Clasic jango jetpack installation.................for now takes thisthere are 2 holes in top and 1 down, to attach the arnes.I used a cartoon pattern (Alan sinclair) to makes the top lines and in the center of the jetpack down the center hole..........see you............
I haven't heard from SNOWAURE about the tutorial.
Any news anyone? Thanks.
what is it exactly that you need help with? Assembly? Painting? Mounting? Atachment?

The combination of epilepsy and pregnancy might seem risky, but the odds are in your favor. Find out how to promote a healthy pregnancy.
Epilepsy during pregnancy can pose some unique concerns. However, most women who have epilepsy deliver healthy babies. If you have epilepsy and are considering pregnancy, here's what you need to know.
Some drugs used to treat seizures might contribute to infertility. However, certain anti-seizure medications can also reduce the effectiveness of hormonal birth control methods.
Seizures during pregnancy can cause:
Every woman reacts to pregnancy differently. For most pregnant women who have epilepsy, seizures remain the same. For a few, seizures become less frequent. For others, particularly women who are sleep deprived or don't take medication as prescribed, pregnancy increases the number of seizures.
Any medication you take during pregnancy can affect your baby. Birth defects — including cleft palate, neural tube defects, skeletal abnormalities, and congenital heart and urinary tract defects — are the primary concern with anti-seizure medications.
For babies whose mothers take anti-seizure medication, the risk of major birth defects is 4 to 6 percent — compared with 2 to 3 percent for all babies. The risk seems to be highest when more than one anti-seizure medication is taken and when a form of the anti-seizure medication valproate (Depacon, Depakote, Depakote ER, others) is used.
A few women can safely taper off their medication before pregnancy. For most women, however, it's best to continue treatment during pregnancy. To minimize the risks for you and your baby, your health care provider will prescribe the safest medication and dosage that's effective for your type of seizures.
Beyond the effects of medications, babies born to mothers who have epilepsy also have a slightly higher risk of developing seizures as they get older.
Before you try to conceive, schedule an appointment with the health care provider who'll be handling your pregnancy. Also meet with other members of your health care team, such as your family doctor or neurologist. They'll evaluate how well you're managing your epilepsy and consider any treatment changes you might need to make before pregnancy begins.
Take your anti-seizure medication exactly as prescribed. Don't adjust the dose or stop taking the medication on your own. Remember, uncontrolled seizures likely pose a greater risk to your baby than does any medication.
It's also important to make healthy lifestyle choices. For example:
Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects, serious abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord. Because some seizure drugs affect the way the body uses folic acid, your health care provider might recommend a high-dose folic acid supplement — ideally starting three months before conception.
During pregnancy, you'll see your health care provider often. Your weight and blood pressure will be checked at every visit, and you might need frequent blood tests to monitor your medication levels. If you're taking anti-seizure medications, your health care provider might recommend oral vitamin K supplements during the last month of pregnancy to help prevent bleeding problems in the baby after birth.
Seizures can be dangerous, but many mothers who have seizures during pregnancy deliver healthy babies. Report the seizure promptly to your health care provider. He or she might adjust your medication to help prevent other seizures. If you have a seizure in the last few months of your pregnancy, your health care provider might monitor your baby at the hospital or clinic.
Your health care provider will closely monitor your baby's health throughout the pregnancy. Frequent ultrasounds might be used to track your baby's growth and development. Your health care provider might recommend other prenatal tests, depending on the circumstances. What you find out might help you understand the odds and make important decisions about your pregnancy.
Most pregnant women who have epilepsy deliver their babies without complications. Women who have epilepsy might use the same methods of pain relief during labor and delivery as other pregnant women.
Seizures don't commonly occur during labor. If you do have a seizure during labor, it might be stopped with intravenous medication. If the seizure is prolonged, your health care provider might deliver the baby by C-section. If you have frequent seizures during your third trimester, your health care provider might recommend an elective C-section to avoid the risk of a seizure during labor.
If your anti-seizure medication dosage is altered for pregnancy, talk to your health care provider about returning to your pre-pregnancy levels shortly after delivery to continue keeping your seizures under control and your medication at safe levels.
Breast-feeding is encouraged for most women who have epilepsy, even those who take anti-seizure medication. Discuss any adjustments you'll need to make with your health care provider ahead of time. Sometimes a change in medication is recommended.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Young adult or puppy for family
Hi. I was raised with GSDs pretty much my whole life. I have been married going on 13 yrs. and we have a human pack of our own. We moved out to 5 acres and are fencing a few acres this summer. I am due to have my own baby early June. I had originally wanted to skip the puppy stage and get an adult or juvi. I have been watching rescues and ads for the past few yrs. Kinda a hobby. After speaking to my vet and friends I am thinking with small kids in the home along with 2 indoor cats, rescues may not be a great idea. Many older dogs over a yr. it seems are being sold because the person didn't train it and I am not wanting to try to undo what the person failed to do. I do plan on having 2 GSDs. I read the thread on getting 2 puppies at a time and that idea took a quick dive. SO here are my questions.
1. What is the best way to get 2 GSD. My original idea was get 2 puppies and get through the puppy stage at once. Articles show maybe a bad idea.
2. I am not looking to show etc. I want sound, family dogs with good hips etc. that can run, play go for walks and do what a large active family does and be good at protection. I am not looking to spend $1,500 to $2000 for a dog. I am happy with a hobby breeder. I don't care about papers as much as a sound dog. I am picky with color. I want a straight back more than slope. I might need more education on this. However, It doesn't look right to me.
3. Can herd children. JOKE!
4. I guess I really want to research the heck out of this and know all I can. I want the right dog the first time. Is there a way to get a young adult without kid and cat issues? I am happy with a puppy, but at what point can I add another? Any incite would be most appreciated.
A little background. From the time I was in diapers I was tripping over a puppy. Maybe the puppy was tripping over me. We (my family growing up) have had cat killers and high drive and no drive dogs. My parents had a protection GSD shipped out with a trainer from Cali when I was 17 yrs old and that trainer worked with me for the weekend. I am now 33, so I am rusty and green. I am not afraid of work nor am I afraid of a GSD. I do though have a lot to learn and relearn. Out of high school I wanted to breed and train them for protection like Hank(parents dog) Walking that 110 GSD I felt like nothing could harm me. He was like a hairy guardian angel. lol I want to add I am a stay at home mom and will be in the home with the dogs through the day. I have a large van and can take them most places.

Amritapuri (Kerala), Sep 27 (IANS) The Amrita University in Kerala Friday launched a pioneering experiential learning programme that encourages the youth to live and experience the problems in the country's villages.
As part of the programme, the Amrita University signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the University of California (UC), San Diego, to enhance research and student exchanges.
The varsity's Amrita Centre for International Programs floated its new 'Amrita Live-in-Labs' on the 60th birthday of the world-renowned spiritual leader Mata Amritanandamayi Devi here.
The scheme envisages students of Amrita and those from some of the best global universities to live in Indian villages for six months to understand the rural population's health, hygiene, energy, water, waste and environment problems.
The idea behind the Amrita Live-in-Labs came early this year when Amma spoke in Delhi at spiritual leader Swami Vivekananda's 150th birthday celebrations.
In her inaugural address in the national capital in January 2013, Amma had suggested a way to ensure that at least one child from every family served in rural areas for one year after completing graduation.
The MoU will facilitate exchanges of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, joint research projects and publications, virtual labs, materials and special short-term programmes and visits.

Hey guys,
So I used to drive a 2012 Genesis Coupe up until this week when it was flooded and totaled Needless to say I'm in the market for a new car and I'm strongly considering a used WRX and just have a few questions.
1. I loved the Gen Coupe but my main complain with it was that it was basically unusable in any snow at all, and being in NY that's a problem. How does the WRX handle snow on all season tires? On a scale of 1-10 I'd say the Gen was a 1 or 2, what would you guys say the WRX is?
2. How do these cars age? This is going to be my fourth car in 5 years and I would really like this one to last quite a while. How do you guys feel your WRXs hold up over the years? Ay common issues? Still happy with your purchase?
3. Of course I like the speed / performance of the WRX and will definitely do some minor mods, but how is the car as a DD? Would you guys say that it's comfortable for long trips, grocery shopping, commuting, etc?
4. How is the stock clutch? The GC stock clutch is GARBAGE and started slipping at 25k and I'm not a very hard driver. Assuming you don't beat the heck out of it, what kind of mileage do you guys see on them? Will it handle the extra power of bolt-ons + tune without an issue?
I think that's it for now, thanks for any input guys. Much appreciated.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 20, 2013.
I can't wait until October 6th this year... #6for10 #BJDay
Over the years, I have purchased over 40 Pistons t-shirts/hats etc. Even right now, Pistons shirts account for >50% of my wardrobe. During the same amount of time, I have purchased only 2 non-Pistons NBA merchandise; both being Utah Jazz t-shirts. That was when Memo signed with them. I guess that makes me a hardcore fan, at least as far as fashion statements go. However, you can't ignore the economies of scale. 40 shirts x 1000 hardcore fans = 40,000 shirts. 1 shirt x 1,000,000 LeBron fans = 1,000,000 shirts.
The hash tag #BJDay might solicit an unwanted following.
For punishment...behavior modification...you could have your kids count all your Piston merchandise
Its actually not. Die hard fans think that they are what drives a team but it isn't the case. Merchandising isn't important anyway, its all about TV revenue. Die hard fans are outnumbered 10 to 1 by plastic fans. That's just the reality. See GTA V example below I don't watch NFL and the only two guys I know are Tim Tebow because he is a crazy christian and Tom Brady. That's it. On the flip side, I can name the starting 5 for pretty much every team in the NBA. Th This is whats effective. On reddit you might be led to believe that GTA V was a terrible game because of all these reasons brought up by hardcore gamers, real enthusiasts. And the reasons are all at least semi-legitimate. But non enthusiasts didn't care. GTA V went on to break every record ever set by any game, bring in $1 billion in just 3 days with only a dual platform release and receive accolades all over the world. 2.25 millioin sales in 5 days in the UK. Why - because enthusiasts only make up a very small percentage of the actual consumer base. The NBA store sold out of LeBron Cavaliers throwback jerseys within a week of his decision to move back there. How many of those were bought by hardcore Cavs fans? Not many, I'd wager.
Not so much. GTA is not the equivalent. Gamers are gamers. They are going to buy games they want to play. It doesn't matter if they call themselves enthusiasts or not. They ARE the hardcore fan base and they are driving the revenue. Casual fans DO NOT even buy GTA V. TV money is NOT the same as casual fans spending money OR fan interest. If the NBA feels fans don't have interest, it doesn't matter how much money ESPN is spending to have broadcast rights. That is completely separate from fans being disinterested. We didn't invent this Adam Silver himself is attempting to address it via his own words/actions. If TV revenue where the end of discussion, we wouldn't be talking about this because the NBA is raking in more TV money than ever before. I'm also not willing to accept a single news event causing a spike in sales to represent the bulk of a teams merch sales. They have merch stores in every arena across the country and they are constantly selling merch during every game. Any time ANY big name player changes teams, there's a spike in jersey sales. However, that only happens a few times every couple of years. In the meantime, teams need to maintain consistent sales of merch and that doesn't come from casual fans.
You do realise that Basketball is now the second most popular sport in the world right? Like it has been booming in popularity almost as fast as football (soccer, not the american kind). And it is exactly the same. You come on this board complaining that you are a real fan and that you feel let down, yet you still consume the product. You are the person I am talking about in the GTA V analogy. And just one more thing, you wrote I really hope that this is some inside joke. You think every one of the 60 million or so owners of GTA V know the grand theft auto lore? Have played/owned all the games? Dedicate large chunks of their life to gaming? Is owning GTA V the litmus test for being a gamer? I mean, I own about 200 games across 3 platforms and have logged thousands of hours playing , but I don't own GTA V, so I'm just a filthy casual? And how is TV revenue not the same as fan interest? Are you reading what you write? If fan interest goes down, so does the value of the TV rights. Those two things are so intrinsically and inextricably linked that you can virtually call them the same thing. Who says that it represents the bulk of the teams sales? I was making the point that the system was overloaded as a result of people jumping on the LBJ Cavs bandwagon. This was just a demonstration of a larger point - which you supported later in that quote - that hardcore fans are outnumbered by plastic fans. And I agree, when big ticket players change teams it will naturally cause a spike in jersey sales. But what I am talking about is that the narrative is driving consumption. Did they run out of jerseys when LBJ went to Miami? No because the narrative wasn't supportive. But now, the prodigal son returns and all of a sudden it's acceptable to hitch to that giant wagon. Let me make this very clear, this is incorrect. It's not even close to correct. Hardcore fans are vocal, sure. They care, definitely. But they are not the biggest consumers of the NBA line of goods, except on an individually comparative base. Lets just leave that there.
You clearly have no concept of what "casual" fan means, but we'll let that go. ...on 2nd thought, no we won't. It's second most popular among FANS. People who have vested interest in the outcomes of games...clearly not CASUAL. A) Please to be producing the quote where I said I "feel let down." You don't know what you're talking about. You don't just get to assign statements to me so you can make your point. B) I am NOT the person you are talking about because I AM a fan of the GTA series and I've bought them in the past. I've owned almost every game system since Atari 2600. I AM the hardcore fan. I buy them. Period. The inside joke is you not knowing the meaning of "casual." One individual not owning a game doesn't mean that person is not a gamer. It's the same reason the COD Series is the best selling game because they have huge multitudes of diehard fans. You're kidding yourself AND us if you seriously believe that most of Activision's sales come from people who don't really give a damn about the game. You can hold on to this fallacy that the majority of people who buy things don't care about them, hell, another example Magic the Gathering rakes in over $200 Million in revenue. Same thing. Huge customer base...NOT casual Casual: adjective1. relaxed and unconcerned. How about YOU read what I write instead? Also, this talking to me like I'm some kind of idiot...knock it off. We can disagree, the rest is unnecessary. There are huge differences in "fan interest" and TV revenue. Fan Interest (US): In 2014...35 percent of fans call the NFL their favorite sportMajor League Baseball (14 percent)College football (11 percent)Auto racing (7 percent)NBA (6 percent)NHL (5 percent)College basketball (3 percent). TV Revenue:NFL: $5 BillionMLB: $1.3 BillionCollege Football (5 biggest conferences): $1.1 BillionNASCAR: $820 MillionNBA: $930 MillionMLS: $90 Million For the NBA having less than half of the "interest" than Baseball it's being paid in TV revenue for not much less than MLB. Clearly "TV Revenue" and "Fan Interest" are NOT the same. You just saying it doesn't make it true. So....no. We can disagree on this all day. I got time. I know you seem to believe that the actual fan base is a tiny number of people hunkered down in front of their TV while this huge throng of "casual fan" who doesn't actually give a damn about the teams/sport are the ones buying up everything, but you're just wrong. I've lived in both Portland AND the Detroit area and in both cities it's diehards who are buying tickets, jerseys, t-shirts, posters, hats, driving the NBA League Pass subscription numbers, and a host of other things. Casual fans show up if someone gives them a ticket for free. They'll buy a t-shirt to GIVE to a diehard fan. They MIGHT pick up a hat if they like the colors or the design. They go to bars to sometimes glance up at a game if it's on and they can be bothered to care. They are NOT the driving force. Diehard fans are large in number and spend money on the teams they love. Just like the NFL fanbase.
I wasn't calling you a casual game fan. But you can't tell me that even a majority of the GTA V owners are hardcore fans of the series. COD has diehard fans? Since when can a 15 year old kid who can't actually purchase the game be a die hard fan. I'd say that the game specifically caters to casual gamers - compare it with say any AD&D game of the last 2 decades. Its a casual game in the same vein that CS:GO is a casual game. Sure, there are hardcore CS:GO players, but the vast majority don't fall into this category. The learning curve is not steep, and time costs are relatively low. The reality is that there is some sort of continuum between a 'casual' fan/player and a 'hardcore' player. We obviously disagree about where on that continuum each of those two definitions lie. Says the guy who just put in a definition of casual - I wonder what the implication is there. I don't think you are an idiot at all, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered engaging you at all. This kind of a conversation is interesting to me, nothing more. So firstly, that doesn't take into account that a new deal is being signed, secondly, that is some seriously cherry picked info right there. For starters, the MLB season is double the size of the NBA, so of course the deal is going to be proportionally larger. But more important is viewer impact So the following of the NBA is fairly strong compared with the MLB. But more importantly, the MLB is losing viewers. That isn't what I said. What I said was that casual fans outnumber hardcore fans. Neither of us have provided much evidence outside of anecdotes, so the point is moot. The other part of this is that hardcore fans aren't dissuaded by some of the things we have mentioned. I still watch Piston's games even though they suck. But a casual fan won't. They are the fans collected through narrative and that is the reason that outlets such as ESPN create hype around certain events. That is where the money is.
Wow, that escalated quickly....
I think that I might be able to referee this debate by summing up some aspects of both of your positions. (You guys are both right as far as I can tell if I'm understanding you correctly.) 1. The NBA focuses the majority of their marketing initiatives on *media darlings. 2. The NBA is more concerned about *bandwagon cats than creating a culture of of hard core fan allegiance to their teams. 3. The NBA has dumbed down their product for the casual fan by promoting a select group of superstars over the true beauty and nuance of the game of basketball. 4. The NBA is winning the marketing war by this approach. Fan interest around the world is high & the league is laughing all the way to the bank. 5. While the league is very successful in growing their brand by focusing on attracting casual fans, die hard fans like the members of this forum often feel alienated and ignored by the NBA's outreach efforts. *credit - Rasheed Wallace
Also, the strategy of the NBA and the strategy of ESPN et al is two completely different things with different goals.
Keep in mind that we are hardcore fans that root for a last place team. We're bound to feel alienated.
Corrected: However, you can't ignore the economies of scale. 40 shirts x 1000 hardcore fans = 40,000 shirts x 30 teams = 1,200,00 shirts. 1 shirt x 1,000,000 LeBron fans = 1,000,000 shirts.
Passionate debate. Now let's watch Spencer Dinwiddie dribble and stuff ....
I'm hyped about Dinwiddie's active posterior!
What was the name of this thread again??
Dude doesn't look like he'll be a be a red-shirt rookie to me. He looks like he'll be ready to go in training camp. For those of us who don't enjoy watching Brandon Jennings, here's a small glimmer of hope.
Best mustache on the team? Fear the Stache?
wow. Have to really trust the guy holding the handle ends. One or both getting loose could ruin your day if they caught you in the junk

Rock and a Hard Place
What was it really like for artists yearning to express themselves during the age of the Soviet Union? This year's edition of Wall to Wall, the free, day-long concert at Symphony Space, looks at the music of composers who lived and worked behind the Iron Curtain. We'll give you a sneak preview, listening to composers from different USSR-occupied countries who needed to climb walls to be heard, so to speak.
Dimitri Shostakovich was infamously terrorized by police and political figures for decades during the Cold War, constantly living in fear while his works were either criticized and banned, or, briefly exalted and then banned again. Other composers also lived this manic existence: Estonian composer Arvo Pärt was considered controversial and his composition Credo was banned. Henryk Gorecki's Miserere, written in response to a brutal police attack in Poland, was not heard for more than 6 years and its first performance was considered 'illegal'.
This week, we'll hear music of Shostakovich, Part and Gorecki, as well as Sextet by Erwin Schulhoff. A German-born musical prodigy- pianist, composer and brilliant improviser- he loved the popular styles of his day, including jazz. Schulhoff decided to become a Soviet citizen in 1939, but was soon deported and sent to a concentration camp during a brief non-aggression pact between Stalin and Hitler, where he was exterminated. His Sextet, for 6 string players, proves he was a huge talent that fell victim to the war.

ANNAPOLIS, MD. - North Carolina's men's and women's swimming and diving teams swept dual meets with the U.S. Naval Academy Saturday afternoon at Lejeune Hall.
The UNC men's team won 175.5-124.5 while the women prevailed by a score of 213-84.
The meet was swum in a unique short course meters format for a college dual.
"Today we had a great meet against a great host, the U.S. Naval Academy. We were honored to be the first team to help Navy inaugurate its newly renovated natatorium," said UNC head coach Rich DeSelm. "They did a great job updating their facility and we had fun competing against their men and women.
"It is great to get back to competing after a long layoff since the Ohio State Invitational, exams, the holidays and our training trip in Florida. Today, we swam in a non-traditional course, short course meters, which was a great experience for our team and gave us a chance to focus on racing and strategy."
The Tar Heel women were dominant, winning 14 of the 16 events. Nine different Tar Heel women won individual events. The Heels were led by senior Katie Nolan and sophomore Danielle Siverling who each won two individual events and swam on a winning relay. Nolan took both the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly while Siverling notched wins in both the 100 and 200 freestyles. Freshman Emma Nunn took a pair of individual wins, garnering first place in the 200 meter fly and 400 meter IM. Both senior Carly Smith and sophomore Nikki Barczak won individual events and swam on winning relays.
"While today's times obviously don't compare well with any yards times we've done thus far this season, some individuals of note on the women's side were senior co-captain Katie Nolan, sophomore Danielle Siverling, and freshman Emma Nunn," DeSelm commented. "Katie continues to have an impressive season and, today, won the 100 fly & 100 back and led off our fastest 400 free relay. Danielle had outstanding splits while winning both the 200 and 100 freestyles and joined Nolan on the free relay. Emma Nunn won both the 200 fly and 400 IM after placing third in the 800 free. Today's win, though, was a great team effort with everyone contributing to our victory."
The men's meet was a bit tighter with UNC prevailing on the strength of two relay wins and nine individual wins. A cadre of freshmen led the Tar Heels. Ozzie Moyer swept the diving events for Carolina and Matt Kwatyra seized wins in the 200 backstroke and 400 IM. First-year Nic Graesser swam on both winning relays for Carolina and took first in the 100 backstroke. Juniors J.T. Stilley (200 freestyle and 400 free relay) and Kyle Ficker (two relay wins) also helped lead the Tar Heels to the win.
"Our men also brought a balanced attack to the meet as well, with a few freshmen stepping up with wins. Matt Kwatyra won the 200 back and 400 IM, Nic Graesser the 100 Back and was on two winning relays. Ozzie Moyer won both diving events and Mitch DeForest went wire-to-wire in the 800 free with one of the best times ever swum in the Navy pool. Again, many of our men found a way to contribute to the team win" said DeSelm.
Carolina will be in action again next Saturday when it swims at the University of Virginia. The men's meet begins at noon and the women's meet at 3 p.m. "We are looking forward to another week of training and preparation as we face The University of Virginia in Charlottesville next Saturday," said DeSelm.
The 17th-ranked Tar Heel men improved to 4-0 in dual meets this season while the 15th-ranked women are now 3-1 on the campaign.

Arsène Wenger believes his side will finish top of their Champions League group because he expects Montpellier to get a result against Schalke.
The Gunners have already qualified for the last 16, but head into the final round of fixtures one point behind Group B leaders Schalke.
However, Wenger believes the German side will find it difficult at the Stade de la Mosson on December 4 and could open the door to Arsenal to top the group.
"Montpellier will [get a result] - I am convinced they will," the manager told Arsenal Player. "It will be their last Champions League game and they sold the three [home] games in a package so it means the stadium will be sold out.
"They are proud people in Montpellier and they will want to go out of the competition with some pride.
"We will try to win the group because that will be job completely done. You feel you have done well if you win the group."
With the likes of Paris St Germain, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Juventus all currently second in their respective groups, finishing top may not be such an attractive proposition this year. But Wenger insists there is still an added advantage to doing so.
"You never know, so you just want to do your job well," he said. "If you go into any calculation you cannot decide who you will get.
"The only thing you know is if you finish top of your group, you might be alright but you could get as difficult an opponent as if you finish second. But you do play the second game at home, so it can be considered a small advantage."

I don't understand it. I have a ruger p95 and a RIA 1911. I love them dearly. A friend of mine has a glock 26. I've shot it. I can't say I hated it. I do have big ass hands so a sub is too small for me and I couldn't hit tight groups with it. But thats not glocks problem that's an incompatibility between my large hands and a sub conpact lol. I've shot a glock 19 and had no problems.
I just don't understand why does everyone hate it? And on the opposite side I've noticed there are those "glock only" people and "nothing else compares." but I've never been given a reason why they consider them the best.
Anyone care to share some opinions?


text: MTA responds to municipal health insurance proposal in House Ways and Means budget The House Ways and Means budget proposal released April 13 would give municipalities the unfettered right to enroll municipal employees in the Group Insurance Commission or make plan design changes to reach the GIC level, including increasing copayments and deductibles. None of these changes would be subject to collective bargaining. FY 2012 Budget SpreadsheetsThe bill does require that 10 percent of the first-year savings be placed in a fund to be used for health care programs. The exact use of those funds would have to be negotiated between each municipality and its public employees. "This assault on the collective bargaining rights of municipal employees is unwarranted and unnecessary," said MTA President Paul Toner. "We recognize that municipal health care costs are very high in many communities. That is why we released our own proposal to reduce costs, while still giving employees a voice in determining how those savings would be achieved. Our plan and the proposal by Governor Deval Patrick both honor collective bargaining in a much fairer way than this bill does. We are going to continue to fight in the Legislature for a balanced solution to the problem of high health care costs." MTA's budget analysis Subscribe to MTA News Headlines by Email

Hey Folks, first post on the forum but have been looking at various articles for some time now. I've built a few kits over the last couple of years starting with a TK, moving onto the Clonetrooper which is the purpose of this post, also have various fabric kits such as Anakin Sith robes, an Imperial Officer, and am also just finishing a Biker Scout. It's fairly safe to say I have got the bug.
So why am I posting. I am looking for feedback from people who have successfully built and trooped in a Clone. I love this kit and the reaction from the public is always great to see. I've been struggling with this kit as it was declined by the UKG because it didn't line up or sit right. I've decided because of this that I don't now want to join the UKG but I would really like to understand what they referred to as I think it looks pretty good.

Many thanks guys, be gentle,

What the heck is taking Cuddyer so long?
Many in the industry are baffled that free agent Michael Cuddyer is taking so long to make a decision.
A small, random sampling of executives produced some theories about why Cuddyer has yet to sign with the Rockies or any other team:
• Cuddyer is waiting to see if the Phillies retain free-agent shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
The Phillies likely will need offense if they lose Rollins and turn to Freddy Galvis at shortstop. They've already added Ty Wigginton, who overlaps with Cuddyer, batting right-handed and playing many of the positions. They've also added Laynce Nix, who is expected to share left field with John Mayberry.
Cuddyer, though, would create more of an impact than either Wigginton or Nix, and his former teammate with the Twins, Jim Thome, surely is lobbying for the Phillies to sign him.
• Cuddyer still could return to the Twins, who on Thursday announced the signing of another free-agent outfielder, Josh Willingham, to a three-year, $21 million contract.
The Twins might find it difficult to squeeze both Willingham and Cuddyer into their budget, but they also might find it difficult to part with Cuddyer, who has spent his entire 11-year career in Minnesota.
The team's latest offer to Cuddyer was for three years in the $24 million to $25 million range, sources say. It is not known how strongly they are still in the mix.
• Cuddyer could be an alternative for the Mariners if they fail to sign free-agent first baseman Prince Fielder.
The Mariners are pursuing Cuddyer, sources say, but the extent of their interest is unclear. Their home park, Safeco Field, favors left-handed power hitters and would be a better fit for Fielder or Cuddyer's former Twins teammate, free-agent outfielder Jason Kubel.
• Cuddyer is entertaining offers from other teams.
Some executives believe the Orioles might be involved in the bidding for Cuddyer, who is from Chesapeake, Va. A source with knowledge of the Orioles' plans, however, said that Cuddyer is "not a leading topic" for new GM Dan Duquette.
Another possibility is that teams are attempting to make trades to clear a spot for Cuddyer — or trying to trade for similar types such as White Sox right fielder Carlos Quentin.
Those teams surely would inform Cuddyer's agent, Casey Close, of their plans, further stalling the process.
— Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi
