Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Sep 15, 2006.
Jack, any comments on blocks, turnovers or steals?
Good call roscoe! The big question is 'how do you weigh the stats?' Obviously, Sheed fits Piston D better than KG or DN. Does Sheed expend too much energy on the D end of the court to be able to deliver more energy at the O side...hence his reliance on 3's? With Ben gone...there are some serious questions to consider.
I just wish the the season would begin..........the off season has been too long.
This sort of reminds me of some thread last year, mebbe in nov. or dec. concerning the possibility of trading KG for sheed, etc... I love Sheed, but don't get me wrong, I can also acknowledge his limitations as a player. Still, this isn't fantasy league hoops. Those numbers are certainly impressive, but they've been produced in a certain context (as have Sheed's), with particular teammates, coaches, styles of ball, etc... So I'm wary of assuming that we could get from DN or KG what they've given their current squads. Then there's the unquantifiable question of leadership. DN may well be a leader and Sheed may well not be. But Sheed's particular job on this team -- chemistry-wise -- might be different, but no less important.
Actually he did. Claimed that he could not go again due to a sore back or something. Nobody made a big deal out of it but Bens influence could have been the the factor - When have you known Sheed to not want to be there at the end of a close game?
``And with Dirk, he hasn't shied from being the team leader. Even if he hasn't always delivered, he hasn't tried to stick his head into the sand as Sheed has done so often.'' Yeah. He led his team to four consecutive losses in the finals. Think of who the best NBA players/leaders have been over the years, wonder if any of them were part of 4-game playoff losing streaks, esp. in the finals and up 2-0. Plus there was the whole blaming of teammates for the 05 playoff loss. Dirk's no leader.
So I suppose GUARANTEEING VICTORIES and then NOT STEPPING UP during those games makes you a leader? Looks like BOTH SHEED and ROY WILLIAMS are new team leaders. Sheed has publically stated that he doesn't want to be the man. He sure has no problem making the money that a superstar/team leader makes but he isn't willing to STEP UP TO THE ROLE. P.S. Anyone who saw those FINALS can't dispute that the REFS were in MIAMI's back pocket. Wade got to the FT line 26 times a couple of games. I have games on tape where the replays show Wade tripping over his own feet WITH NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER BUT YET HE ENDS UP ON THE FT LINE. DIRK got MUGGED REPEATEDLY in that series and EVEN TRIED to go downlow but DALLAS DIDN"T GET THE SAME CALLS THAT MIAMI GOT. It was one of STERN"S WORST SCREW JOBS TO A TEAM IN THE LAST DECADE. (FYI: I'm not a fan of Dallas or Miami but to see the way that Dallas got screwed over turned my stomach)
I'm not saying Sheed's a leader, which you seem to be assuming I am. I'm just saying that Dirk's NOT. You've got a faulty comparison. After watching both Dirk and Wade in that Finals you should have no trouble spotting the real leader. Dirk's a wonderful player, but if you're paying someone franchise money you should get a guy who's a better leader than Dirk. If you want to give Dirk credit for at least trying, then consider that he's getting franchise money and Sheed's not.
Sheed's not even top 30 in the NBA. He's the salary leader on the 23rd largest payroll.

text: At Miami April 6th, 6:00 PM TV - NBALP The NBA planned for this to be a nationally televised epic game featuring Wade and Shaq vs the Pistons back some time ago. My how things have changed, for the Heat that is. They have won two games out of the last 20-something I believe, both wins against the Bucks. The Pistons continue to tinker with their rotation as Flip allows the bench to get extended playing time winding down the season.

BATON ROUGE, La. - The No. 22 Tar Heels bounced back with two wins on Saturday, beating Purdue 2-1 in extra innings and shutting out Hampton 10-0 in five.
Highlighting the first game was a stellar nine innings in the circle by Lori Spingola and Amy Nece's walk-off double. Constance Orr earned the win in game two, and Elisha Elliott notched two RBIs to lead three Tar Heels with two hits.
Sophomore Amber Parrish led off the Tar Heels' second with a double to left field. Freshman Elena Covert came in to pinch run, and on a groundout by redshirt freshman Jenna Kelly, Covert advanced to third before scoring on a hard-hit single to right field by senior Haleigh Dickey.
Purdue left the bases loaded twice before capitalizing on the third opportunity. Ashley Burkhardt, Lindsey Rains and Tori Chiodo each singled to load the bases, and Danielle Fletcher hit a sacrifice fly to left to drive in Burkhardt and even the game at 1-1.
In the ninth, the Boilermakers' Erika Petruzzi singled to right. She attempted to score on a double to the gap in right center by Fletcher, but was thrown out at home on a nice play by the Carolina defense.
With two outs, Satterfield drew a walk and advanced to second on a single by senior Tisha Mahon. Junior Amy Nece clinched the win for North Carolina with a walk-off double to right field, driving in Satterfield for the 2-1 victory.
Spingola (1-1) tallied eight strikeouts while pitching all nine innings for the Tar Heels. She gave up nine hits and walked four.
Carolina came out strong, scoring six in the opening frame. Junior Amy Nece doubled to left field to get things started. Nece advanced to third on a bunt by freshman Erin Satterfield and then scored on an error by the Pirates. A solid triple from Haleigh Dickey to right center then drove in Satterfield to make it 2-0.
Redshirt freshman Jenna Kelly and freshman Kristen Brown each drew a walk to load the bases for Elisha Elliott. The senior singled through the right side, driving in Dickey and Kelly and advancing Brown to third while moving to second on the throw. Brown scored and Elliott advanced to third on a wild pitch by Hampton's Jailynn Jackson, followed by a sacrifice fly to left from Morrison which drove in Elliott for the sixth run of the inning.
In the next inning, Satterfield singled to right field, stole second and then advanced to third when Dickey singled through the left side. Kelly walked, and moved to third on a wild pitch while Satterfield scored to make it 7-0. After a walk from Brown, Kelly scored on another Hampton error, putting the Tar Heels up 8-0.
Sophomore Kati Causey, pinch hitting for sophomore Stephanie Krider, drew a walk before Krider re-entered the game to run. Krider advanced to second on a single to left center by Elliott before they each advanced to second and third on a wild pitch. Freshman Elly Wagner hit a sacrifice fly to right, which drove in Krider for the final run of the game.
Orr earned the win, giving up just one hit in four innings and walking two. Freshman Lauren Fuller pitched the fifth and gave up just one hit in relief.
Carolina, now 2-2 on the season, will face LSU again on Sunday. The game has been moved up from 1 pm ET to noon. Follow live stats for that game here.

In just three short years, the National Park Service will celebrate its 100th birthday. In anticipation, on Aug. 25 of last year the agency released a report prepared by a special advisory committee on the role of science in the parks. That report called for more support of science, more scientists on park staffs and a scientific oversight committee.
We have nothing against science, but these recommendations miss an essential point. Not even science can save national parks if we neglect and lose their fundamental asset, which is open space.
Up to now, America's sheer size and stunning scenery made it relatively easy for us to create spacious parks. The founding fathers challenged Europe's treasured art and architecture by touting the unrivaled natural beauty of North America. In that spirit, America's first national parksYosemite and Yellowstonewere established as "monuments to a living antiquity." Later, when other values evolved and were added to these parks, each was large enough to accommodate them.
By the 1910s, scientists recommended that the national parks serve the country's vanishing wildlife as well as its remarkable scenery. "To the natural charm of the landscape (animals) add the witchery of movement," wrote Joseph Grinnell and Tracy I. Storer, both zoologists with the University of California. But without generous open spacenow recognized as habitatno amount of science could have elevated wildlife into "an asset" of national parks.
For 50 years, Grinnell's studentsmany of them in Park Service uniformtaught about the importance of wildlife. Finally, in 1963, the distinguished Leopold Committee, headed by the zoologist A. Starker Leopold, completed what Grinnell had started. Beyond landscape, "the biotic associations within each park (should) be maintained, or where necessary recreated," the committee reaffirmed. In short: "A national park should represent a vignette of primitive America."
At the time, going back centuries to suspend natural processes may have seemed like good science. Now, we know that nothing about nature is permanent or perfectible. However, the Leopold Committee was onto something in its term, "a vignette of primitive America." Observing changes in those vignettes and monitoring them scientifically would certainly require open space.
Today, preservation of that space remains a critical need. As climate changes occur, how can we provide habitat for endangered species and maintain migration corridors? Moreover, as the human population increases, open space outside public lands decreases. Is it good science to disrupt the open space inside our national parks for our new technologiescellphone towers, for example? How can the parks serve as locations for environmental research and the exploration of new genotypes while also being asked to accept new distractions purely in order to entertain visitors?
The disciplined maintenance of open space against development is still a national park's greatest challenge. On that score, national parks have expanded to include the importance of many other "vignettes," including those of our national history. Among our 398 national park areas, there are 25 battlefields (nine known as military parks), 46 historical parks and 78 historic sites, places that can claim neither geological monuments of wonder nor major opportunities for viewing wildlife.
In each, open space is often the critical asset. As historians note, Gettysburg National Military Park is no longer the "exact" battlefield of July 1863. The town in particular has grown, and preserving the open space surrounding it remains the key to preserving the park today. Without that first bout of discipline, as it were, no amount of current efforts to restore the battlefield to its approximate appearance 150 years ago would matter. The entire "vignette" would be gone.
Vision seldom arises from any committee; it is rather serendipitous and comes from the heart. This underscores why the national park idea has a heart so bold and true, and why 187 countries around the world have followed our brand of heartfelt "discipline." Science is important and instructs us about what we should and should not do to the land. Our gift to the world, however, is open space, as defined by space itself. If we lose that, we lose everything grand about the national parks, no matter how many new scientists we hire.

For those of you that dont have 501st access, here are pics that Fitz posted up of him destroying the ODST recast helmet mold.
I would say that these pics are an admission of guilt.
We had been following this project from the start because of the helmets suspicious origins. We had information from the original maker that led us to believe it was a recast. Yes, it was brought up a few months before, but just because a few people cleared him, it didnt mean he was off the hook. Due to the fact that he didnt have any WIP pics beyond that lump of bondo. Not to mention that there was no way he could get the finished product he was showing from said lump of Bondo, it just didnt add up. It was the last set of helmet pics he posted that sealed this case.
Just to clear things up; this was never a witch hunt. It was a group of artists trying to protect a fellow artist and bring forth the truth. I think that for the most part, we made our case and we appreciate the support that we got from here and other forums. That being said, calling us the "self appointed recast police", is not productive, but rather, counter productive.

Arsenal Ladies have a lot to live up to when they take on FCR 2001 Duisburg in the Women's Champions League tonight.
Arsène Wenger's players booked their place in the last eight of the men's competition on Tuesday with an emphatic win over Porto but the Ladies expect a much tougher test against the women's European champions.
Arsenal play the first leg in Germany before hosting Duisberg in the second leg on Sunday at Bishop's Stortford FC. And the 2007 winners will need to be at their best to prevail.
We spoke to experienced Arsenal midfielder Jayne Ludlow ahead of the Quarter-Final tie and you can read part two of our exclusive Q&A now as she assesses the challenge that lies ahead.
Jayne, you're up against Duisburg – what do you know about them?
They are a good side. They're second in the German League, behind Potsdam, so they are not going to give much away. But we're all looking forward to it. These games are like the Cup Finals and when they come along you want to perform at your best and hopefully the majority of our players are going to do that.
What are their strengths?
They are pretty similar to us in the respect that they have a mix of older internationals and younger ones – they have German internationals from 19 to seniors. So it is going to be an interesting one. They set up pretty similarly to us, they have a good goalscorer – Inka Grings, the German international – so it will be interesting. When I look at women's football, the Germans are the pinnacle, they are the ones with the technical ability and they have the workrate to overcome opponents. You could see that in the European [Championship] Final a few months back.
In men's football English teams traditionally have more physical power while continental sides are perhaps better technically. Is that true in the women's game?
I would tend to agree with that in the women's game. With regard to the England internationals, I think they have focused a lot in the last five to six years on their fitness and they now can compete with the best in the world. But from the outside looking in I would say our technical ability still needs to get better if England want to compete with the Germans and Arsenal as a club want to compete with more professional sides. Having said that, of all the clubs in England we are the nearest to competing with Germans.
Are there lessons from last year [when Arsenal lost 6-0 at Umea in the Quarter-Finals] because these ties can be lost in the blink of an eye can't they?
Yes. It has been a strange season with regard to the change of management and everything but we have been working hard on our structure, our shape and everything. We have changed players fairly often in different positions so it has taken us a while to click as a team, going forward or defending. But the last few games I think it's happening and I think we are peaking at the right time. It's going to be a hard game next week but I think things are coming into place at the right time and we've got to hope that the majority of our players have a good game.
You've had a taste of European glory in 2007. Is there still a special feeling for these games?
Yes, there is a buzz about the place. We're going out to play the Germans on their own soil and women's football is big out there, I imagine they are going to have a big crowd. The majority of our players will go out there and relish that. The younger ones might be a little bit nervous but hopefully we can help them through that. Nerves aren't a bad thing, they make you perform to the highest level usually. We are raring to go to be honest. It has been an upsetting week because there have been different internationals going on. Obviously the Germans have this problem too because they have been at the Algarve Cup so their preparation isn't going to be great either. But all the girls are back now and we had a game on Sunday, we got that under our belts and worked on things before we go into our two biggest games of the season so far.
And for the first time this season there is a one-off Final - in Madrid. How big an incentive is that?
It's going to be great because I never understood the two-legged thing. I think it was more to do with the fans travelling and the fact that there was less money in the women's game. Our fans are actually prepared to travel that far to watch it, so that evens things out… but a one-off Final is going to be great.

How to Flirt With Your Husband
"In my twenties, I sought out pretty vapid, sex-based relationships that were designed to boost my body-confidence. I thought that the more men who wanted me, the better I'd feel about my stomach or the size of my chest. Then, at 33, I started performing burlesque for fun. Once I realized that an audience of both strangers and friends could appreciate me with all my flaws on display, I didn't need those pointless relationships anymore. After a year of performing, I found my current boyfriend, who loves me unconditionally. The sex is amazing because it's meaningful, and I realize that loving your body — not being a certain weight or specific body type — is what makes it attractive in the first place " — Lisa, 36, in a three-year relationship
"A few years into our marriage, my husband's sex drive seemed to fall off. I was wanting it way more than he was, and of course, I attributed that to him not finding me attractive any longer. So I decided I'd stop initiating, because the last thing I wanted was pity sex. But I eventually learned that keeping my wishes to have sex to myself only made me angry with my husband, and bottling up theories about why he might say no — 'he thinks I'm fat' or 'he thinks I'm annoying' — only made me feel bad about myself. I now accept that making a conscious, discussed-about decision to have sex isn't any less valuable than the hot, spontaneous kind of sex that I imagined all couples engage in all the time. He can't read my mind, and if he's too hungry or tired or just not in the mood, I can't take it personally." — Mer, 30, married four years

Award-winning Foothill Music Theatre presents South Pacific July 24–Aug. 10 in the Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Purchase tickets online now. Vividly capturing the emotions of war, the intensity and boredom, the optimism and desperation, and the prejudice and acceptance, this is a story ahead of its time and for all time.
From the pages of James Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel came Rogers & Hammerstein's sweeping epic set on an island paradise during World War II. Winner of 10 Tony Awards in 1950, including best musical, the plot follows two parallel love stories threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. The production was also ground-breaking for its candid and progressive message on racism.
The music of South Pacific includes iconic popular standards such as Some Enchanted Evening, Younger Than Springtime, I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy, There Is Nothing Like a Dame, Happy Talk, Bali Ha'i and I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair.
The show, which was the second longest running on Broadway at the time, spawned a 1958 motion picture and has repeatedly enjoyed success in revivals and tours. In 2008 it returned to Broadway to wide critical acclaim and nearly 1,000 performances. It would win another seven Tonys that year, including best musical revival.
Parking Lots 1 and 8 provide the best access to the theatre. Patrons must purchase the required campus parking permit for $3. Purchase permit at dispensers in any student lot. Dispensers accept one-dollar bills and quarters; bring exact change. Foothill College is located off I-280 on El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills.

By Rob Kelly
Tomas Rosicky had called on the Arsenal squad to "stick together and fight" to win the fans over.
Arsène Wenger's side have lost two successive matches and lie 10th in the Premier League table after a disappointing run of form.
It had led to some supporters voicing their frustrations, and Rosicky says it is up to the players to turn the situation around.
"I can understand it, I'm an Arsenal fan as well," he said. "On the other side, we have some young guys and they can feel the frustration as well. It's definitely not helping them.
"We all have to stick together - that's the only thing we can do. It's what we did last season when everybody was writing us off and we came back stronger.
"After the [comeback] we produced, we could feel the great atmosphere we had at the Emirates, particularly the games against Tottenham and Milan. I've been a professional footballer for a very long time, and it was the best atmosphere I've ever played in.
"We have to win the people [over] again. That's the challenge. We did it last year, so why not do it again? Of course it will be difficult. There's no doubt about that, but we are capable of doing it again.
"If we are all on board, this is a great place to be and a great place to play football. But we have to stick together and fight."
Rosicky scored on his first start of the season against Olympiacos on Tuesday, but warned not to expect too much too soon.
"I am a creative player - that's the part I can contribute," he said. "But it will not be easy for me. I was out for a long time so I need to regain match fitness again. Of course I would like to play. Let's see how it goes."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I don't know, I'm not trying to sabotage the other group or something, I hope @detteam doesn't get mad at me! If it's easy for you to join, then do it! If it's hard or there are any difficulties in the process, then go back to the other one. I'm trying to make something where we all can play.
I joined your group. You and me forever, S.J.!
I am in both Deteams and SJ's group.....come ladies and gents...only 6 in one group and three in the other, you only got a couple of days to join...show us if you can guess right!!

hahahhahahahhaahhahahhahahahhahaahahahhahhahahahahahahha NO MORE AARON CRAFT!!!!!!
That was probably a Buffet Bracket buster for a lot of people -- including me.
I picked this one!!! My reasoning was that a small school playing against a BIG in-state powerhouse makes for the little guy playing some inspired hoops. I took a "Flyer" on this game and it paid off.
i had Bucky losing verses next round opponent anyway, so no big deal here
I picked Harvard to upset Cincinnati! I sure know a lot about college basketball!!! I also picked Western Michigan to upset Syracuse. I sure don't know squat about college basketball!
Its amazing how dopey Cincy looked playing harvard!!! If MSu wins, they better watch out!
Harvard is actually a pretty good team. Any team is dangerous this time of year. Izzo always has Michigan State prepared. They will win today. And knock off Harvard in two days.
Nailed Harvard, ND State, and Dayton. Sent from my SCH-I905 using Tapatalk
I WENT 11-5...missed DAYTON, ST JOES, NC ST, OKEY, AND CINCY

Tropical Glacier Retreat
The reason there are tropical glaciers at all is that temperature decreases with altitude, as a consequence of the compressibility of air. As warm air rises, it expands and cools. Some of the cooling is offset by the heat released by condensation of water vapor, leading temperature to go down at a rate which is currently a little over 6.5 degrees C per kilometer of altitude. You may be slogging through the steamy lowlands at a temperature of 31C down in Tanga, but meanwhile, up atop Kilimanjaro at an altitude of 5892m, the temperature is a chilly -7 C.
The next ingredient needed to make a tropical glacier is precipitation, which at high, cold altitudes will fall as snow. The rate of snowfall needed to sustain a glacier depends on the rate of removal of glacier ice, called the ablation rate .
In contrast to the extratropics, the daily average Tropical temperature varies little throughout the course of the year. Most of the surface temperature variability is on the diurnal (day-night) time scale. On the other hand, the seasonal cycle of precipitation is strong. In the tropics, seasons are characterized by wet vs. dry, rather than cold vs. hot.
Another important feature of tropical climate is that horizontal temperature variations are weak once one goes above a relatively shallow layer near the Earth's surface. This property arises from unassailable dynamic considerations having to do with the weak influence of the Earth's rotation in the tropics, where the local vertical is nearly perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation. Without strong Coriolis forces to balance the pressure differences that would be caused by temperature variations, the tropical mass redistributes itself until horizontal temperature gradients are nearly eliminated. [Pierrehumbert,1995; Sobel, et al.,2001] The horizontal homogeneity of temperature is something of an idealization, and becomes less valid towards the edge of the tropics, but temperature is much more uniform than other meteorological fields (precipitation, humidity, and cloudiness) which affect mountain glaciers. Because of the spatial homogeneity of tropical free-tropospheric temperature, when one sees tropical glaciers recede in concert, there is strong reason to presume that air temperature is playing a direct role, temperature being the one thing that is expected to change in lock-step throughout the tropics. For example, the uniform lowering of tropical snowline by about 900 meters during the Last Glacial Maximum is generally attributed to cooling [Porter 2001], and indeed provided the first indication that something was wrong with plankton-based estimates of tropical cooling during the glacial period.
Figure 3. The 1950-1995 climatological mean temperature along the equator at the 500mb level. This level is approximately at the altitude of the summit of Kilimanjaro. Results are based on the NCEP data set. Note that the annual mean equatorial temperature varies by only 1.5 degrees C over the entire globe.
There are two main ways that a body of snow or ice can lose mass: through melting (conversion of solid into liquid) or sublimation (conversion of solid into vapor). Both transformations require energy. It takes 8.5 times as much energy to convert a kilogram of ice into water vapor by sublimation as it does to convert the same kilogram into liquid water by melting. Therefore, if conditions allow the glacier surface to warm to 0 C, the amount of ablation that can be sustained by a given energy input increases dramatically. Sublimated water vapor is always carried away by the air, but the fate of meltwater has a strong effect on ablation by melting. Runoff from steep ice-cliffs, or through subglacial flow driven by water percolating through pores or fractures, will convert a high fraction of melting into ablation. If melt-water percolates into the glacier and re-freezes, the effect on ablation is more limited and indirect.

Now that I'm actually into the building process, I've run into some snags that maybe you wonderful experienced people can help me out with... *puppy dog eyes*
1 - I was going to attach my chest plates to my vest, but it turns out the ovary bits are solid resin and too heavy to do so. How did you all attach/support yours?
2 - How is the armature for the binocs attached to the helmet? It looks like it's bolted to the ear cups, but mine are just ABS plastic and I don't think they'll hold that much weight... Any suggestions?
3 - What's the best way to cut ABS plastic? I tried an x-acto knife but it didn't work very well...
4 - Anyone know a good source for heat-melt plastic in sheets? I need boot tops and hand backs, and no clue where to find the stuff to make them out of.
Thanks so much... gonna post some pics this weekend of what I've got done, it's coming together well!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've signed up to work with a handler/trainer who used to show and breed GSDs in the show ring so I'm curious to see her opinion of Mia (but I don't have my hopes up- if the handler doesn't think she can work with her or Mia isn't suitable for the ring, I'll just switch her out for my golden who I know will be fine in the show ring.). I've noticed that once she meets someone, she is ok with the situation but it takes her a few minutes to get acclimated. By this point, she has walked around with her hair up and barked which scares a lot of people so many times I think her fear of strangers comes from their fear of her (Understandably).
What do you all mean by nose work? Like tracking? I think she would LOVE herding but there aren't any places around that do herding.
|Jane's suggestion is good, Nosework is great for dogs that need space. If she cannot be approached and touched by strangers, conformation is out. The judges need to literally put their hands all over the dog to feel for the angles in the skeletal structure and judge the body mass other than the appearance based on their coat. They will also have to check the teeth/bite and if you are doing SV ring, the tattoo or microchip. My dog is not outgoing but is able to ignore the other dogs and people. He doesn't appreciate a male judge checking his testicles but he will tolerate it because I say so. Another part of it is your confidence with the dog. If you are worried about how she will react, that can play into how the dog will behave. If you are not confident about her ring training, I would not take her into the ring. You could try to find a "match", which is setup like a show but you don't get real wins/points, it's more for practice and for dogs still in training.
nosework is good for dogs that are a bit nervy...they can work on their own without other dogs or people in their realm and build confidence when they succeed. Hard to find good places for herding, but I bet you can find a nosework class easily!
My male doesn't want people he doesn't know in his personal space either.
|Thanks so much for the ideas. I know she would love herding and probably agility as well. Rally, probably not so much as she is pretty bull headed at times! She loves to learn new tricks (I just taught her to bow and it is so cute) and as she matures, she is relaxing but I bet herding would be something that I could do with her. Now to find a local group...
|JakodaCD OA
if she's not good with anyone going over her, than nope, I wouldn't change the conformation or obedience ring.
Maybe do some tracking? Herding? Rally?? She's very pretty by the way
Handling A Dog Who Does Not Like to Be Touched!
I bought a GSD about three years ago from a good breeder who breeds nice German show lines. My idea was to show her in conformation but as soon as we got her, I realized that she is definitely a classic "aloof with strangers" type. I spent hours and hours out socializing her but she still barks (hair up) when she walks by other dogs and often her hair goes up a little when she meet people although its not aggression but I believe its more of a fear.
With the dogs I can understand her being upset because I have come across too many people who just let their dogs walk right up to mine and bark wildly in their faces - some not even on leashes. I never let my dogs greet other dogs in such a fashion but I cannot stop others from coming up to me with their dogs and it creates quite a chaotic experience. I am thinking of enrolling her in a local class that works specifically on dog to dog interactions.
As for the people, I don't know why she still responds like this as we have worked on her forever in this area. Anyway, I was wondering if any show people could put their two cents in on whether or not a dog like this should be shown in conformation or should I look for another area that I can work with her in? I'm guessing that not all GSDs in the show ring are outgoing so what do you do with a dog who is most certainly not outgoing? I've got a friend who has had a similar story although she is working with a Belgian Shepherd. Anyway, last show her dog whirled around when the judge touched her in the back and they had to leave the ring. I don't want this experience and was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts? I'm not new to owning dogs but I am new to the breed and showing. Signing another one of my dogs up for our first conformation class this week actually!

School Bans 'Schindler's List' Producer for Being Conservative
A Marine veteran and Academy Award winning film producer said he was barred from speaking to a U.S. government class at a Montana high school because he was "a right-wing conservative."
Gerald Molen, who won an Oscar for co-producing Schindler's List, had been invited to speak to a class of seniors at Ronan High School in Montana. He's also one of the few conservatives working in Hollywood and is currently making a documentary based on Dinesh D'Souza's book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage."
Molen, who is a popular motivational speaker, said his speech was going to be apolitical. He had planned on reminding students of their individual greatness and opportunities for the future.
But when he showed up at the high school — about 90-minutes from his home in Bigfork, Mont. – the principal informed Molen that he would not be allowed to address students because he was a "right-wing conservative." He was told that there had been some calls to the school complaining about the planned speech.
"He said some callers didn't want kids exposed to that, despite not knowing what my message would be," he told the Hollywood Reporter. "
Molen, who also worked on films like "Jurassic Park," and "Twister", wrote a letter in the local newspaper, explaining what happened and expressing is outrage.
"I served three years in the Marine Corps so that others might stand before their peers or even a group of students, but never did I think my voice would be stilled by some mysterious caller(s) on the notion that I might say something they 'thought' would not be in the students' best interests," he wrote in The Daily Inter Lake.
He said the students were instead "indoctrinated with a sense of fear and mistrust that a fellow Montanan just might stand before them and say something some official school administrator deemed 'possibly harmful.'"
Molen said he never dreamed that something like that might happen in Montana.
"He apologized for the inconvenience of being canceled and said the decision to cancel was his alone," Molen wrote. "He was concerned about my presentation. No, he didn't ask me of the content. No, he didn't ask to read the speech for any clarification as to content. No, he would not tell me who the complaining party or parties were, nor would he give me any further explanation. Just that there would be no presentation by me that day."
Andrew Holmlund, the superintendent of the Ronan School District, told Fox News Radio that the decision to cancel Molen's speech was made by Ronan High School principal Tom Stack. He said the district office was consulted in the matter.
"It was a very unfortunate incident," Holmlund said. "We don't treat people that way.
Holmlund said he's spoken with the principal but declined to comment further.
"It's regrettable," he said. "The principal made a decision and that's not how we treat people."
Many local residents are furious and some are demanding the school apologize to the Marine veteran and award-winning producer.
"I think it was incredibly rude what the school did," said State Rep. Joe Read, who lives three blocks from the high school. "The school needs to apologize and they need to invite him back."
Holmlund said that is certainly a possibility.
"Why would a school dishonor a man who served his country," resident Chuck Lewis told the Hollywood Reporter. "They should never have censored him like that."
Molen ended his letter with a question to readers.
"In America today, are our children taught or indoctrinated?"

About the Book
Few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict around the world than Anderson Cooper, whose groundbreaking coverage on CNN has changed the way we watch the news. In this gripping, candid, and remarkably powerful memoir, he offers an unstinting, up-close view of the most harrowing crises of our time, and the profound impact they have had on his life.
After growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Cooper felt a magnetic pull toward the unknown, an attraction to the far corners of the earth. If he could keep moving, and keep exploring, he felt he could stay one step ahead of his past, including the fame surrounding his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, and the tragic early deaths of his father and older brother. As a reporter, the frenetic pace of filing dispatches from war-torn countries, and the danger that came with it, helped him avoid having to look too closely at the pain and loss that was right in front of him.
But recently, during the course of one extraordinary, tumultuous year, it became impossible for him to continue to separate his work from his life, his family's troubled history from the suffering people he met all over the world. From the tsunami in Sri Lanka to the war in Iraq to the starvation in Niger and ultimately to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi, Cooper gives us a firsthand glimpse of the devastation that takes place, both physically and emotionally, when the normal order of things is violently ruptured on such a massive scale. Cooper had been in his share of life-threatening situations before -- ducking fire on the streets of war-torn Sarejevo, traveling on his own to famine-stricken Somalia, witnessing firsthand the genocide in Rwanda -- but he had never seen human misery quite like this. Writing with vivid memories of his childhood and early career as a roving correspondent, Cooper reveals for the first time how deeply affected he has been by the wars, disasters, and tragedies he has witnessed, and why he continues to be drawn to some of the most perilous places on earth.
Striking, heartfelt, and utterly engrossing, Dispatches from the Edge is an unforgettable memoir that takes us behind the scenes of the cataclysmic events of our age and allows us to see them through the eyes of one of America's most trusted, fearless, and pioneering reporters.

Anyone who uses e-mail with any frequency can understand the frustration (not to mention overwhelming feeling) of having multiple messages in your Inbox that are nothing more than the back and forth of a conversation you're having with someone.
You send a message… they reply with your original message at the bottom… you reply back and now your message and theirs is at the bottom… they reply back… well, you get the idea.
After a while, maybe even days later, you have a very long message containing the entire conversation but you also have all the previous ones.
Do we really need all that redundancy cluttering our Inbox?
I can't speak for you, but I definitely think not.
The question begs to be asked, how do we get rid of the prior messages?
I mean, we kept them for reference but now they're in our Inbox and they are spread out among all the other stuff that we've been working on for a few days. I really don't feel like scrolling through to find and delete them individually nor do I feel like sorting the messages in a different way to lump them all together for a quicker, and yet still a manual, deletion.
Manual deletion of however messages is not high on my priority list, so what does Outlook have to offer?
Fortunately, it has a pretty good and much faster way to get rid of all the redundant information contained in the string of messages. Specifically we're going to "Clean Up" the conversation.
It's a simple process…
First, select a message that is a part of the conversation you need to clean up.
On the Home tab of the Ribbon locate the Clean Up button in the Delete group.
As you can see, when you click the button a list of choices opens.
You can actually choose to run the Clean Up feature on an individual conversation, a folder or a folder and its subfolders. (While my example is for a conversation, I'm sure you get the gist of the other choices.)
Once you choose Clean Up Conversation, a dialog box may open asking for confirmation of your decision – click OK. (If you don't want to see the confirmation each time, be sure to check the "Do not show this message again" option.
That's all there is to it.
Outlook will go through the Inbox (or whatever folder you were in) and move all messages from the conversation that are completely included in a later message to the Deleted Items box.
Almost as a bonus – if you're only going to clean up a conversation (not a folder) then with the message selected simply use Alt + Delete to start the process.
Removing redundant information from your Inbox has never been so quick or easy!

National Can it Forward Day has come and gone but that doesn't mean the pickling action is over in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to working with Canning Across America I have the great privilege of working with amazing chefs and farmers at Seattle area markets and culinary events. Through this connection I've become involved with the Seattle's Chef Collaborative chapter and therefore am afforded the opportunity to enjoy an amazing array of educational events offered up at area restaurants and farms.
Most recently I was invited to one of my favorite Seattle restaurants headed by Chef Rachel Yang, Revel, to partake in all things fermented. And while we didn't eat everything you can ferment there was a pretty overwhelming array of preserved delicacies to try. Chef Yang and her co-conspirator and husband, Seif Chirchi have had a very healthy fermenting pantry going for years at their restaurant, Joule, in Wallingford and they favored us with an incredible dose of what they've been up to in that magic pantry.
Revel's long chef's counter was the perfect place for them to showcase an overwhelming pickled spread which featured:
Oysters with grapefruit and fennel
Cherries with Grand manier, cinnamon, orange, and star anise made into a rum cocktail
Marion berries dropped into sparkling wine
Beets with romanesco, coriander and lemon
Beef tongue with pepper and shallot (my personal favorite)
Baby carrots with cumin and chili
Nuoc cham cucumbers
Shrimp with corn and celery
Harissa pickled scapes
Pig's feet and skin
Chowchow composed of corn, patty pan squash and turmeric
Baby turnip kimchi
Chioggia and golden beet water kimchi
Napa cabbage white kimchi
Cucumber and garlic chive kimchi
Fennel and apple kimchi
Apricot, mustard, shallot
Cherry, mustard, shallot
These pickled and preserved delicacies were served alongside 5 spice smoked duck breast, cured sardines and the largest rounds of cooked pork belly I've ever seen.
If reading about this spread makes you want to take a stab at fermenting, you might want to start with a favorite of mine Pat Tanumihardia's classic cabbage kimchi recipe.
Happy Preserving!

Thursday 16th September 2010
While enjoying a cold one pre-match last night, much of the discussion surrounded the emphatic football played by Barcelona on Tuesday night as they thumped Panathinaikos. Admittedly it was enjoyable to watch but was it any better than our superb display 24 hours later? I think not!
If you are one of those who likes to watch the beautiful game played with a combination of skill, pace, power and above all else exquisite passing, London N5 was the place to be last night. Every single person inside the stadium departed knowing it was an absolute pleasure to be there.
Of course when analysing any thumping victory, questions will be asked as to the quality of opponent on the night but sometimes you have to just admit we were very very good. After all, our visitors had already dumped both Celtic and, extremely impressively, Seville out of Europe in the two previous rounds.
With every player making a considerable contribution to both keeping a clean sheet and a devastating attacking display it is impossible to single out any one player for individual praise. Overall it was a wonderful team effort and gets us off to the perfect start in our group.
Sunderland will be a whole different affair of course with the Stadium of Light seeing mixed fortunes for us down the years. The evening kick-off is always one that sees many of us entering the stadium in high spirits and with a night out in nearby Newcastle also on the cards for our own group of away Gooners it promises to be a fine weekend off the pitch.
The mood however, will very much be influenced by events on the pitch where once again we will need to be at our best to take another important three points.
Come on you yellows!

Jack Wilshere never doubted that he would return to Arsenal's first team - despite missing an entire season through injury.
The 20-year-old sat out the 2011/12 campaign with ankle and knee problems but was back where he belonged last month when he ended a 524-day wait for a competitive appearance by starting against Queens Park Rangers.
Wilshere has since made two further first-team appearances after preparing for his comeback with three under-21 fixtures and a training ground friendly. And Arsenal's new No 10 was always confident of re-establishing himself.
"I don't think there was a point where I thought I'm not coming back," said Wilshere after completing 90 minutes at Schalke. "I always thought I could come back.
"It was a serious injury, of course it kept me out for so long, but it wasn't the result of a bad tackle or anything where it was career-threatening. It was just something that happened over time.
"I knew it would take time to heal and then I had a few setbacks. Obviously you question yourself and say 'am I going to come back to the level that I was at before?' Hopefully now I can get back to training well."
Wilshere took the Premier League by storm the season before last, belying his tender years with a string of precocious performances in the Arsenal midfield. International honours followed and Wilshere believes he can scale the same heights before long.
"Every day I really need to work hard and get back up to the level I was at," he said.
"I think I can [reach that level]. On Wednesday I felt better than I did over the weekend and the weekend before that so I am feeling better and better with each game that goes on.
"It's a long season so I need to take it easy a bit but I am looking forward to the future."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

Blake Mycoskie, Founder and Chief Shoe Giver at TOMS, Visits AOL
Mar 21, 2012
As AOL prepares to participate in the One Day Without Shoes barefoot challenge on April 10th, we had the pleasure of having Blake Mycoskie, Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, pay a special visit to our New York City office. Blake spoke about the origins of TOMS, the impact his revolutionary One for One model has had on the world and explained why the Tom's One Day Without Shoes campaign is so much more than just going without shoes for a day.
Introduced by Blair Cobb, Senior Director of AOL Cause Marketing, and greeted by packed conference rooms across the country watching the live stream, Blake started off by explaining how his life experiences and time spent in Argentina led to his unique vision. When he witnessed the hardships facing children growing up barefoot in Argentina, he knew he had to help in some way, and the One for One movement was born.
Through a bit of trial and error, and the help of amazing editorial pickup from outlets like the LA Times and Vogue, Blake was able to sell 10,000 pairs of shoes his first summer, which translated into 10,000 pairs of shoes donated to children in need. After his first trip to Argentina to drop off shoes, his life was forever changed.
From the beginning, Blake knew that in order to make a big impact and make his idea truly work, he had to do more than just create a charity – he knew that he had to create a business model that incorporated an active giving component into the overarching strategy. Through the success of his model, he strongly believes and teaches that the more "good" that companies can incorporate into their business strategies, the bigger an impact they will have on society, and in doing that, the more brand ambassadors they would have without even trying!
To generate awareness around his One for One model and the importance a pair of shoes can have on a child's life, Blake created TOMS One Day Without Shoes. Through this event, individuals go without shoes for a day, and begin to understand how vital they are to your overall health. Though this sounds like a movement aimed solely around this specific cause, it's a really a day aimed at generating awareness for and initiating conversations around all of the causes that we are passionate about. The idea is that curiosity leads to conversation, which leads to action, which ultimately leads to change.
What was primarily a One for One business around shoes has already grown to include a One for One business for Eyeglasses, but only time will tell what other important issues can be remedied through this business model.
Last year, more than 1,000 AOLers went barefoot in honor of TOMS One Day Without Shoes- this year, we're looking to increase our impact 100 times over!
This is where YOU come in! Help AOL reach its goal of reaching 100,000 people with the One Day Without Shoes message. You can do this by taking on one (or more) of the following actions between NOW and April 10th, 2012:
- Tweet your support: Click here to tweet now!
- Visit OneDayWithoutShoes.com to take the pledge and go barefoot on April 10th - Click to take the pledge (and put AOL as your company!)
To thank those who have taken one of the above action, we will be awarding one hundred $50 TOMS gift cards to random winners!

A lot of the 427 tall decks had good heads, just need bigger valves. You can get this done + new cam & lifters for $500 or so. Use the spacers right and they shouldn't leak.
The tall deck uses a massive 4 ring piston. This has to be replaced for any kind of performance.
To replace these pistons with hi-perf stuff. You will need +.400 rods. Harmonic balancer is not hi-perf usable. Also not, are the two thermostat intake. Water pump and distrib.
There are very few, if any "street" type or tunnel ram used/affordable intakes for a tall deck. Most will need spacers. They leak. Then an adjustable ring distrib. or intake/distrib mods.
Tall deck truck heads won't work (flow) without massive work $$$$..Best to replace with better parts.
So you end up with 1-block and 1- crank.. And a motor that has limited ready made headers/accessories for street use.
Sell the block to a Drag/boat/puller guy. Get a short deck block and build a usable/affordable BBC engine.
the tall deck 427 is similar the standard 427 but hence the name tall deck, smaller bore longer stroke and lower compression makes for a lot of torque, not really designed for street or racing apps without putting a bunch of money in it, you could change the cam for whatever application you need, wouldnt use a tunnel ram thats more for top end motors, suggest a single 4 barrel with a dual plane intake and perhaps a 1" carb spacer. the carb is going to be determined by how much mods are done to motor and cam rpm range. go to holley web site to carb selector, will get you in ball park
427 BBC tall block questions
This is my first post on the forum. I have a Goodwrench 427 tall deck with low miles on it, it was just used very little for many years shortly after the new engine was put in, the truck was a 1977 C65. Anyways it ran awesome in the truck so I pulled it this weekend with the plan to throw it into some kind of project car after I get the engine built up. So what do you guys know about this engine, has anyone used the same 427 BBC for a build? I was thinking I should put a new cam in it and get rid of the stock Holly with a governor on it. What CFM carb should I use, 750? And what kind of luck have you guys had with what cams? I was also thinking of using a tunnel ram intake with single carb, I think I will need some spacers to make it work on the tall deck. Thanks

"These gift tags are beautiful and arrive exactly as pictured. The design is so delicate; perfect for a baby shower which is what I used them for. The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"This was a great addition to our baptism favors. We put them on the back of acrylic frames and they were a BIG hit with our guests."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"

Judge: Controversy Over Origin of Drugs Not Enough to Stop Sentence
The fact that the State of Texas plans to use a drug obtained from a so called 'compounding pharmacy' to execute convicted killer Michael Yowell tonight is not a good enough reason to block his scheduled execution, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Meanwhile, the state is refusing a demand by the pharmacy in the Houston suburb of The Woodlands which provided the drug that the five doses of pentobarbital which it sold the Texas Department of Corrections earlier this month be returned.
U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes in Houston says claims by Yowell that using the new supply of pentobarbital will violate the Constitutional protections agaisnt cruel and unusual punishment are 'a guess piled on an assumption.'
"Texas has notified the public on one of its websites that it uses pentobarbital," Hughes wrote in his opinion. "The only thing that has arisen recently is the source of the ingredients, and that is a potential problem with procurement."
Hughes says a testing lab, Eagle Analytical Services, has determined that the potency of Texas' existing supply of pentobarbital is 98.8%, strong enough to peacefully and quietly execute Yowell and other inmates.
"Yowell speculates about the danger of drugs purchases form compounding pharmacies," Hughes writes. "He raises everything that could go wrong with an intravenous drug, under, and over potency, allergic reactions, fungal , viral, and bacterial infections, and adulterants, all without the technical data to support" his arguments.
Meanwhile, the owner of the compounding pharmacy is demanding that Texas return the drugs because it was being harassed, and the pharmacy claims it was promises anonymity when it sold the doses to the state after several other pharmaceutical companies refused.
"It was my belief that this information would be kept on the 'down low' and that it was unlikely that it would be discovered that my pharmacy provided these drugs," the owner of the pharmacy said in its letter.
The state says it purchased the drugs freely and legally, and has no intention of returning them.
The state purchased five vials of pentobarbital from the pharmacy, and obtaining pentobarbital after they are used may be problematic for the state. Texas executes far more convicts than any other state.

Strange site they have over there.
|cboy I see that the comment you left on the redbubble site to view the complete build on this site has been removed.
|Only Racing
Thanks for the support guys, I have quite a few connections or avenues I can take but am proceeding cautiously. I would like to shoot an NHRA event ie top fuel, and have all my insurance and same gear as others, just never felt they had the interest in sending me. I'd rather trade for my NHRA shooters permit, lol. As for Drag Illustrated, It's considered that media has to be provided by NHRA or an event photographer, they cannot fill in with images, it could be the wrong one. Both IMO are responsible.
I find that they did have a photographer at the event, but maybe when you see the shot you would understand Why they didn't use it. Rule Number One, Try to stay away from shots with empty stands.
See the attached image
After a bit more research there is a distinct possibility that this is not NHRA's crime, but rather Drag Illustrated's. It appears NHRA Communications issued this story in TEXT form only --- no pictures. But then the publication, Drag Illustrated, tried to liven up that press release by attaching a photo or two to the article. And in this case they apparently grabbed a shot from Only Racing's web site, doctored it up to remove the copyright, and then published it. Thus...they ended up with wrong car...wrong track...wrong event. And a copyright infringement on top of it all.
I'm sure Only Racing will continue to follow up with his own research, but so far this is what I think happened.
This really takes the cake. Here is the copyright section at NHRA Communications.
And the irony line...in NHRA's own words...
(ii) the content of the images may not be modified, and (iii) copyright, trademark and other proprietary notices may not be removed.
I do hope you pursue this. Perhaps we can get some HR.Com members to start flooding NHRA with email complaints in your support. I just wonder how many other artists/photographers they do this to.
|Only Racing
Here's the skinny on the most basic of copyrifght laws in laymans terms.
1, there is intellectual property for the main which may seem to imply that because you thought it up it's yours. In a way it's true. Say you design a car and "Hot Wheels" makes one, you have the original stuff to prove that it was your design or idea, you have them big time. You go to patent an idea and someone beats you to it, you not only have the copyright of the idea but you applied for the patent and it's exactly the same, you have them also, this is mainly business at its worst.
For Images: If you drew an image, took the image, made the image and so on, then someone uses it by removing the copyright or modifying the image without your consent, it's infringement in the simplest form. If I add Hotrodders.com to one of my illustrations I cannot sell it without properly giving Jon his cut or share since I'm adding to the image and using Hotrodders as a part of it, even if it's only text and not his logo. That is fair practice and I would use his websites good name to possibly enhance it's overall appeal.
If it winds up to be ficticious like Deweys Surf Shop but there possibly is one somewhere for real at the time of the artwork, then it's trouble too.
Any image posted on the net is your property and governed by any copyright law even if you don't physically put a copyright on it. I implore anyone though to add something to an image, signature, or text / logo just for piece of mind.
Jon and Hotrodders is using his space to allow you to upload images to his gallery or your album, just as anyone with a photosharing place does. They can use an image simply becasue of the way a gallery is made to say highlight a gallery or someones album, this doesn't mean anything has been done wrong. If it wound up making him money it's simply luck only and the nature of the gallery / album is a side interest of the way it was portrayed on the net.
Here's a good example of how someone as big as NHRA can simply take an image and alter it. Not only did they remove my copyright but they are also "misrepresenting and NHRA Event" The image below is from this months Drag Illustrated, Notice the "Published by NHRA Communications" to which I'm not a part of. Second, Notice the area's marked off where the copyright has been covered over by the upper part of the track, simply cloning the above part The Red Box is where my copyright was. 3rd and which I feel is the worst part is actually "misrepresenting the actual NHRA Unleashed Event" buy using an image from a highly popular event called the Shakedown At E Town, This is a race at Englishtown NJ not South Georgia Motorsports Park. I have done articles and flyers for races, which it's intent was to depict a race, it's also my uderstanding that if I "Misrepresent a race" by using an image from another event that may make the one being shown more "appealing" then I am liable for that misrepresentation.
See the Two Images Below
Don't know how I'll pursue this but I will.
And I say "hypothetically" because I'm ecstatic this artist has used my creation as the basis for his own creation. And even if I did happen to be in the REAL surf shop business I'd be even more ecstatic because of the potential free publicity this artist might create.
Others may take a different view of things. But that's mine.
|What about infringment on your business name?
And I'm with you. Copyright law fries my brain. It is very very complicated. And has been made 10 times more complicated by the proliferation of photos, music and images on the web.
Regarding the watermarking of photos uploaded to Hotrodders.Com, I believe Jon does that to protect each of us who has uploaded pictures. In effect, it is a warning to anyone who attempts to use or replicate any of our photos that these images belong to the original poster and they are not to be used for other purposes.
I also believe it is Jon's position that the rights to all photos here on HR.Com belong to the original poster and that they can not be used for any other commercial purpose without the consent of the poster/photographer. Obviously, enforcing that protection is an entirely different matter. And most of us post with the full knowledge that our photos are liable to end up just about anywhere on the web.
As Only Racing has pointed out, anyone can take a photo or do a sketch of one of our hot rods while it is parked on the street or at a show. That is totally within their rights and that photo/image becomes THEIR intellectual property.
On the other hand, my car is MY intellectual property in that Streetbeast could not produce an exact fiberglass replica of the car without my authorization. By the same token, Revelle would have to have authorization to produce a "model" of this exact car.
Like I said. It gets quite complicated.
So, not really wanting to stick out like a turd in the punchbowl, I think that I have seen photos posted on HotRodders.com later become watermarked with "Hotrodders.com". Which brings up the question, does any photo posted on this website become Jon's intellectual property, where is, he could later sell somewhere else? I just have a curious mind and a weak understanding of copyright laws, etc.
With that said, seems like the guy could at least send you some free prints to give to your family and friends. Or, maybe my way of thinking is flawed. If I had the talent to build a hotrod from scratch, I would be pissed to see someone making money off of my blood, sweat and tears. Then on the other hand, if you ever decided to sell it, I guess the publicity helps.
Again, congratulations on having your art noticed enough to get on TV and having other artist doing depictions of it. Nolan

Woop's my bad, I mistyped HDR in the first sentence. HDR is merely when done right multiple exposures in RAW format "RAW" is basically a negative type image from a digital camera so it can be manipulated for obvious reasons like wrong exposure and tint maybe too warm or cool ior possibly needs extreme sharpening.
Guys found that blending or integrating many "Bracketed" images could result in a dreamy of more artistic image. Again I like the darker versions myself over the really bright ones.
Bracketing is available on many camera's even point and shoots. You set the amount of images you want to bracket, the higher end camera's will do more than 12 exposures of one shot. Using shutter speeds to go from extremely under exposed to the right exposure then to the most over exposed. You may find it in your owners manual for point and shoot camera's. A pro body has it pretty much laid out with it's own area on the dial.
Now you have 12 full resloution images, your camera may say it's 15 megapixels but in reality that is only for shooting RAW, standard JPG's are half the full resolution, so it's more like an 8 megapixel due to JPG compression.
Now, what to do with those images, but lets cut it down to three exposures which is normal for most 1: UNDER EXPOSED, 2: PERFECT, 3: OVER EXPOSED
Bring them into any program that accepts a RAW or DNG depending on camera manufacturer and you now are looking at the highest resolution image you can take with your camera. In photoshop it has tools to "develop" these images, othe programs like Lightroom are much cheaper and do the same thing. Now you need a program to create the HDR, Akvis, and Photomatrix come to mind, cheap and efficient IMO. good results too. It will merge them together with you choosing the best possible highlight and tone to the image. The three or up to 12 exposures gives you a wide range of light or shadow to get an expression from an image.
Once merged it can be saved as either a photshop document or a standard JPG. Once saved you still have the RAW files untouched. What you can do afterwards is extend that by layering the same image and switching blending modes to create even cooler looks to the photo.
There are programs that will do this to a standard JPG file but results are nowhere near as clean, look up on shot HDR jpg. It is fun to play with.
As for the Facebook part of that, yes, it is cached and they own it, FB never removes anything, the little smart guy is as good as anyone from MIT, so he knew it all starting out.
Look's great cboy..
Look's like anyone can make money off anything we do today...
Also, interesting comment regarding Facebook and copyright. What happens if someone uploads a picture they shot, then realizes their error, and deletes the photo. Can Facebook still claim they own the rights based on their cashe of the pic?

WRD Fisheries Section Hatcheries
Richmond Hill Fish Hatchery
Richmond Hill hatchery is located in Bryan County.
Directions to the hatchery from Savannah: Take I-95 south to exit 90. Turn east (left) on Hwy 144. The hatchery will be approximately .5 miles on the left.
Directions to the hatchery from Brunswick: Take I-95 north to exit 90. Turn east (right) on Hwy 144. The hatchery will be approximately .5 miles on the left.
Street address: 110 Hatchery Drive, Richmond Hill GA 31324
For information about this hatchery call 912-727-2112.
General Hatchery Information
Richmond Hill Hatchery is an 87-acre facility which includes 38 fish production and rearing ponds totaling 18.8 acres of water and 3 Kids Fishing Event (KFE) ponds. Original construction of Richmond Hill Hatchery began in 1933 and was performed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The land was later donated to the State of Georgia by Henry Ford in 1936.
The Hatchery Rearing Facilities
Richmond Hill Hatchery currently raises 8 different types of fish including striped bass and hybrid striped bass. Since 1968, when the statewide striped and hybrid bass propagation program was headquartered at Richmond Hill, more than 600 million striper and hybrid striper fry have been hatched at the facility. These fish are grown out in ponds at Richmond Hill Hatchery and five other state hatcheries until they grow to about 1 inch in length. These fingerlings are then stocked into reservoirs and streams throughout the state. The whole process is actually very quick. Each spring, wild brood stock are collected from inland reservoirs and sent to Richmond Hill. At the hatchery, eggs are hand-stripped from females, fertilized with male sperm and hatched in special jars. It only takes 44 hours for the eggs to hatch. Once in the pond the fish are grown for 30 days in which time they reach the desired 1 inch length and are ready to be stocked across the state. In addition, some 6 to 8 inch stripers are raised for ongoing restoration projects on the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers.
Bluegill, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, and channel catfish are also raised for stocking into privately owned ponds. Last year, more than 600,000 bream, 50,000 largemouth bass and 70,000 catfish were distributed to pond owners in order to establish fish populations in their new or renovated ponds. If you have a pond you are interested in having stocked, call the hatchery or your local Fisheries Management office.
Hatchery Nature Trail
Richmond Hill Fish Hatchery has a 1 mile long nature trail and, if you are lucky, you may see white tail deer, fox, alligators, rabbits, or even a turkey. It is also a great place for bird watching. Keep your eyes out for a pied-billed grebe, belted kingfisher, eastern bluebird, barred owl, or a bald eagle, just to name a few.
Family Fishing Ponds and Special Events
In June and September the hatchery hosts its annual Kids Fishing Events. There are plenty of fish to be caught and a good time is had by all who attend. Each event sees over 200 kids and their parents participating and those numbers continue to grow. The hatchery annually produces about 50,000 catfish 8 inches in length to help support the Kids Fishing Program and ensure that the children see a fish, catch a fish and touch a fish. In September 2004, the First Annual Outdoor Adventure Day was held at the hatchery allowing children to sample other outdoor sports and activities, including kayaking, archery, paintball, and wildlife exhibits.

Yakima Racks and Accessories
Your car's interior is roomy. But sometimes you need to carry stuff (like bikes and camping gear) that won't fit, despite your mad Tetris skills. Instead of attaching a huge net behind your car and dragging your effects along the highway, check out this Yakima rack and cargo box. Your junk will thank you.
