Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by smiller, May 8, 2007.
Or a potato wearing a helmet.
I think if we all listened to "To Sir with Love" while contemplating linwood's wonderful picture it would be pretty damn close to Pistonsforum Nirvana.
Heading to iTunes now. 8:30 for the harmonic convergence?
I was a regular poster on detnews.com back in the day, I even remember the long diatribe over the word "irregardless". Then I got so fed up with the some of the crapola that went on at detnews, and I remember the day when Microwave posted that he was working on an alternative forum. He couldn't get it going fast enough for me, I was willing ready and able to post and talk about basketball without being dogged out because of my gender, color, i.e. Over there, I had heard it all, some folks were just downright rude. I rolled right on over to pistonsforum as soon as it was established, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Microwave/Roscoe is truly like family to me, I love you dude.
Would not go to sleep each nite without coming in here on this forum. WELL DONE, SCOE! U DA MAN!!! PROPS TO ALL THE OTHER MEMBERS IN THE FORUM!!! U GUYS & GALS ROCKS!!!
I think we can all safely say that this is the one of the best "sports talk" websites on the net. The overall intellect and insight on this forum is the best bar-none. Dont believe me just go to any other "forum" on the net especially the Bulls' forum. Thanx Ros for this terrific site and keep up the phenomenal work. If there were awards for site like this you would definitely have to be in the top 2. Only because of my slight ignorance of any other forums that may be out there. I love this site and visit it at least 6 times a day!!!!!!!!! Thanx Ros and Go Pistons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest, there are some boards where the average level of knowledge is higher. But it always comes at a cost: flamers, know-it-alls, newbie hazing and a "Lord of the Flies" dynamic. What I admire about PF.com is that there's room for everybody, and people look out for each other a little bit. It's adult, except when it's the right kind of childish. And that is a testament to the guy running the show.
Let's not beat around the bush...this is an obvious reference to the MLive forum.
Based on his Avatar........I'm guessing the "New Testament"
Agreed. I think there have been maybe 3 or 4 days since this site was opened that I haven't checked in at least once. And that was because I was away on business.
Big ups to Roscoe.
In the beginning after I joined I didn't come here often, thinking that this is just another forum. But the more time went by the more I like it. Now I post regularly and like to read what others have to say. This forum is good. Lets keep it going. Way to go Roscoe.
Good point.
Like a lot of you guys, I check PF.com a few times every day. I browse a ton of forums, but there's nothing like this place; it is internet home. Cheers Roscoe.
At the end of the day, things in my life have lead to me to certain outlook on this stuff, and it was easier for me, and everyone on the forum to go with one main standard. "Be nice." If everyone sticks close to that, the forum will be a good place to hang out. If it becomes cliquish or hostile, then it's going to be a mess. Of course, we also have the underlying, "don't do anything illegal" but I do really despise having to enforce someone else's laws on my friends. On the other hand, I also don't like being sued or going to jail. Thank you very much. After 7 years, if people like this forum, then that's more than enough validation for doing it. Not too many things enjoy a 7 year run online.
This is my favorite online forum now. I get to talk about a team which none of my friends could name any of the starters for, and basketball in general, and it is a very friendly environment. Good work everyone
I love the Pistons and like the Clippers....visit this PF forum everyday even when traveling....just went visited the Clipper forum for the first time since they were eliminated in May.....bunch of arrogant SOB's over there....but I must admit they are love their team and of course everybody over there hates the Lakers, just like we all disliked the Cetics, Cavs, Pacers and Bulls over the past 10 years. One thing they do over is postpostpost passionately during their games running almost a regular live chat on every play....over 250 post so far for last nights win. I know we have the passion over here, but as we regroup through the growing pains, it will be awhile before we can get back to fever pitch. In the mean time, I still like coming to friendly confines of the Piston forum to read the comments, criticisms and praises of our Pistons and the secondary commentary on the Tigers, Lions, Wings, Wolverines and Spartans'...this is my home forum so thanks to Roscoe for putting it all together and happy birthday today to him, Motown and Dumars4ever, who I hope will comeback to contribute when the Pistons get over .500 and stay there for a whole season!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot it is their birthdays too. Nov 1 is a big day around here!
I think we should take a moment and thank smiller for starting this thread.
Separate names with a comma.

The Canisius softball team came up short in two games on Friday on the second day of the Loyola Marymount Invitational II at Smith Field in Los Angeles, Calif. Canisius (4-16) fell to Dartmouth by the score of 2-0 in the first game of the day before losing to UC Riverside 11-1 in five innings.
In the first game, Dartmouth pitcher Kristen Rumley threw a complete-game one-hitter where she fanned 11 to help lead the Big Green to the 2-0 win. Canisius junior Robin Kennery recorded the Griffs' lone hit with two outs in the first and Rumley ended up retiring the next 21 batters she faced to score her sixth win of the season.
After going through three scoreless frames, Dartmouth took a 1-0 lead in the fourth on an RBI-single by Megan Averitt. The Big Green (9-10) added an insurance run in the sixth when Rumley helped her own cause with an RBI-groundout. Canisius senior Jen Consaul took the loss for the Blue and Gold after she allowed two runs, one earned, on eight hits to go with four strikeouts and two walks.
In the second game of the day, UC Riverside scored 11 runs on 10 hits en route to an 11-1, five-inning victory. Canisius scored first in the top of the first on an RBI-single by freshman Lindsey Silfer, but the Highlanders (18-12) quickly knotted the score at 1-1 with a single tally in the home half of the first inning. UC Riverside scored four runs in the second and six more times in third for the 11-1 lead. Sophomore Jenn Solis allowed five runs, three earned, on five hits while walking three in 3.2 innings of work.
Canisius will close out its west coast Spring Break trip on Saturday with a pair of non-league games against Dartmouth and Loyola Marymount on the final day of the Loyola Marymount Invitational.

1. Redhats: City of Vienna, Austria has selected Red Hat Enterprise Linux as its server platform of choice. (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2062154,00.asp)
2. Redmondians: Apparently some see a pattern exemplified bythe Microsoft - Novell alliance:
- Microsoft agreed to pay Novell $536M in Nov 2006
- Microsoft agreed to invest $150M in Apple in Aug 1997
- Microsoft paid AOL $750M in May 2003 - including other things: royalty free 7yr license of Microsoft browsing technology
- Microsoft paid Sun $1.95B in April 2004...
The question to ask is: What interoperability capability came out of such a level of collaboration with Microsoft? See what InfoWorld has to say: http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/11/21/48OPreality_1.html
3. So what is the meaning of the Microsoft-Novell deal? Looks like Novell and Microsoft disagree... seems like more Microsoft FUD for sure: http://news.com.com/Microsoft%2C+Novell+spar+over+Linux+agreement/2100-7344_3-6137444.html

1- Democrats may stand in Obama's way on gun measures
WASHINGTON As the Senate prepares to begin debating new gun control measures, some of President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats are poised to frustrate his efforts to enact the most sweeping limits on weapons in decades.
These Democrats from largely rural states with strong gun cultures view Obama's proposals warily and have not committed to supporting them. The lawmakers' concerns could stand in the way of strong legislation before a single Republican gets a chance to vote "no."
"There's a core group of Democratic senators, most but not all from the West, who represent states with a higher-than-average rate of gun ownership but an equally strong desire to feel their kids are safe," said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. "They're having hard but good conversations with people back home to identify the middle-ground solutions that respect the Second Amendment but make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns."
All eyes are on these dozen or so Democrats, some of whom face re-election in 2014. That includes Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings Wednesday.
Well that's good to hear
2- Obama: Gun-control advocates have to listen more
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama says gun-control advocates have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes in the debate over firearms in America.
In an interview with The New Republic, Obama says he has "a profound respect" for the tradition of hunting that dates back for generations.
"And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake. Part of being able to move this forward is understanding the reality of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas," he says.
Obama has called for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and is pushing other policies following the mass shooting last month at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. In response, gun-rights advocates have accused Obama and others of ignoring the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
The president says it's understandable that people are protective of their family traditions when it comes to hunting.
"So it's trying to bridge those gaps that I think is going to be part of the biggest task over the next several months. And that means that advocates of gun control have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes," he says.
Has Obama himself ever fired a gun?
"Yes," the president says, "in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time."
His daughters don't shoot skeet at the presidential retreat in Maryland, he adds, "but oftentimes guests of mine go up there."
The interview appears in the Feb. 11 issue of The New Republic.
All I can say is impeach

sly persuader was OTM up there: I remember getting Lovebuzz in a supermarket in Brisbane in 1991 and Va Va Voom in Geelong JB Hifi in 1993, ie. both a couple of years after release, and both for peanuts. I still retain these childhood memories but remember little else about these vacations.
I really liked them, or at least the IDEA of them - faintly off-key boy-girl vocals and a sound that one of them claimed grew out of attempt to sound like JAMC's "Never Understand". I remember "Blush" being something of a crossover hit and it felt, genuinely, like the proverbial breath of fresh air on the TV and radio, in a way that presaged Ratcat's and then Nirvana's surprise success a little bit later. Their A-sides were great. Both of those albums, at something like 14 tracks each, probably could have lost a couple of the weaker tracks and arguably some of Mitch Easter's bells and whistles though.
I must listen again to that late Gone EP too - some pretty "wall of sound" moments, as someone already said...

Faust: Shocked at the news
November 16, 2012
As I read the news today, I wish I was shocked at two items that I read. The first was that citizens in several states, including Colorado, were circulating petitions to succeed from the United States and form their own independent countries. The second was a news story circulating in several conservative media outlets regarding several precincts in which Mitt Romney received zero votes, and was an indication of election fraud.
The succession petitions didn't concern me. I understand that some people are upset with the results of the election, and felt like releasing some steam. I don't think anyone is actually taking them seriously. The second story is a lot more concerning.
It describes several dozen precincts in Philadelphia and Cleveland in which Romney got exactly 0 votes. The conservative blogosphere has offered up voter fraud as the only possible explanation, but even Fox News, did not bite at this story for good reason. While seeing results like 542 to zero might seem suspicious, even a cursory analysis leads to the conclusion that the numbers make sense. For example, in 2008, John McCain also received zero votes in many of these counties. The precincts lie in poorer urban areas where nearly 100 percent of the population is black or Latino. Given the national exit polls, the low support for Romney should be expected.
I think the conservative angst is the result of conservative media outlets like Fox News predicting a Romney win in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The mainstream media was predicting anywhere from an 84 percent to 95 percent chance of an Obama victory in the days leading up to the election. Conservatives were taken so off guard that they resorted to blaming the loss on the moral failings of un-American minority voters to voter fraud.

Jessica Honegger launched Noonday Collection in 2010 after she met Jalia and Daniel, talented jewelry designers in Uganda who dreamed of using fashion to create dignified jobs in their community. Jessica hosted the first Noonday Trunk Show, selling Jalia and Daniel's jewelry in her home to raise funds to adopt from Rwanda. Women fell in love with the style and story of Noonday Collection – and Jessica began to dream bigger than a fundraiser.
Jessica soon partnered with Travis Wilson, a friend passionate about social entrepreneurship and experienced in building businesses. Both Travis and Jessica had spent years working in Africa and Latin America. Together they dreamed of starting a business that would alleviate poverty through entrepreneurship. This dream became Noonday Collection, a business that uses fashion to create meaningful opportunities around the world.
In 2011, we launched the Ambassador Opportunity, inviting women across the United States to launch Noonday businesses in their communities.

'It was the sixth time this season the Sabres had a two-goal lead and lost.'

Slipping out of reach
Afinogenov finds home away from home
'Buffalo Sabres winger Maxim Afinogenov scored in Thursday's shootout win at Ottawa but it was just his 10th of an injury plagued season. Afinogenov is on his way to his lowest goal total in the last five years — and his most bizarre stat is that just two of his goals are in HSBC Arena.'
Frail Sabres lacking backbone in close games
'Somehow, I doubt there will be a stampede of giddy Buffalo fans on Washington Street this morning, surging toward the plaza outside HSBC Arena to celebrate their team's good fortune. If the Sabres are this country's model sports team, I'd hate to see what our NHL team looks like when management really manages to mess things up.'
Paetsch should have been the hero of this one
'"I have no idea how it got out there," Paetsch said. "I didn't see where it went, no idea. We had played a great game until the last three minutes. We dominated play. We kept their chances to a minimum. Maybe it's a case of just clenching your sticks too tight, not wanting to make that huge mistake and making the wrong play because you're worried about doing something else."'

Just wondering if anyone has heard from Chris (Fettpride) in the past week or so?

Just wondering if anyone has heard from Chris (Fettpride) in the past week or so?
With him just moving into a new house and his wife sick, most likely not much time for props.
I agree with Asok.
Waiting for an update, hope things are as well as can be expected, if not better.
I believe Pam (Mrs. Fettpride) has started her chemotherapy already and from what my mom went through, she will need quite a bit of assistance from Chris.
Yea..my dad went through the same thing. I only asked because he spoke with me after he had moved into the house and I just wanted to know if anyone heard any other news on him. Not about the props..i was just wondering how he was doing.
Yeah, the last time I spoke to Chris was last week and he mentioned Pam's chemotherapy sessions...other than that, I haven't heard anything from him lately. :)
I'm sure he has his hands full right now but I will be giving him a call to talk to him soon about a few things. Hopefully things are okay.
Chris will let us know when he has time to do so.
Real life comes first...:thumbsup

Sorry, but no pictures so you're just going to have to take my word for it. Last Wednesday June 3rd, had a late start (noon) but made the tides. My friend didn't want to stay long, but my local "chicken" halibut spot produced all the 15 to 30 pound halibut you can want. Fished about 125 feet about 16 1/2 miles from the dock. Needless to say, we got limits and were back at the filet tables by 3. Went out again on Saturday with 4 friends and fished the same area with the same results. Limits. That's a total of 10 halibut up to 40 pounds with some 30 pounders mixed in. Weather was clear, but ROUGH!!! Lots of them caught their first halibut ever.
Currently at work until the 23rd then I'll be back and hopefully get some whoppers and some pictures. There is a halibut derby and the leader is a 175 pound fish that will no doubt be beat by a fish over 300 pounds. Anyway, salmon are biting in the salt water too, but haven't trolled around for them yet. I'll let you know and try and have updates everytime I go out.
By the way, this fishing thing is just something to do until duck season starts, then it's time to get serious.
Fair winds and following seas,

That is very pretty MW .........
I just made something similar see here ... and they will last a lot longer than three days ... LOL
I also used my Martha Stewart hydrangea paper punch to decorate three smaller styrofoam eggs similar to this in pastel blue/white in an effort to replicate the Raz Import hydrangea Easter decs which I really like ...
.... and so easy as well just terribly time consuming MW.
The paper eggs I did (well still making) are similar to the pomander which was the inspiration for the eggs in the link I posted previously. Saw them for sale online selling for $25.00 for three !!!..... all I bought were the styrofoam eggs ... the other bits were from my craft stash .... so I did it on the cheap !!!

A desire to mitigate the impact of increasingly volatile commodity prices has led to the appointment of Craig Parr as Flower Foods first chief risk officer.
As the nation's second largest producer and marketer of packaged bakery foods for retail and foodservice customers, Flower Foods said the move will result initially in increased focus on commodity hedging and purchasing strategies.
"Volatility in the commodities markets in recent years has caused us to focus even more carefully on our hedging and forward buying strategies for ingredients and other goods, and we are continually looking for ways to further improve our practices," said Flower Foods CFO Steve Kinsey. "Bringing on someone with Craig's depth of experience and proven track record with a highly respected commodities-based firm will help us even better manage our purchasing and hedging strategies and risk areas. Craig has shown that he can drive profitability, strengthen financial operations, reduce risk, and develop sound strategies, and we are very pleased that he's joining our team."
Parr previously served as VP of risk management and food ingredient supply at The Andersons, Inc., where he spent the past 20 years.
Flower Foods had 2011 sales of $2.8 billion and operates 44 bakeries that produce a wide range of bakery products. The company operates a direct-store-delivery network with access to approximately 70% of the U.S. population in the East, South, and Southwest as well as in certain markets in California. The company also markets brands such as Nature's Own, Tastykake, and Mrs. Freshley's.

Thread: Predict Ravens Record: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
T Jack and the Seahawks are not beating hte Ravens. Not going to happen.
The only games the Ravens will not be favored in will be at Pitt and at SD.
I have a hard time projecting any more than 4 losses, and think the under is more likely than the over.
Basically the team looks better on paper IMO than last year's 12-4 team and the schedule does not look as tough.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
I can easily see the Ravens start out 2-2, the Jets and Steelers are going to exploit the lack of O-line continuity. I don't think that they will be used to playing with each other in those spots for 4-6 weeks so it will be an uphill battle to make the play-offs. I am with Gota on this.
9-7 unless the o-line plays out of their skulls right from the get-go.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
I see this year's OL as anywhere from a medium to major upgrade over last year's that gave up 40 sacks and averaged only 3.7ypc on the ground. I also like Evans over Mason a lot even though I see them as close to equal rated, Evans brings more of what the O needed.
The Steelers and Jets are tough opponenets, but we have owned the Jets the way the Steelers have owned us. IMO winning both is more likely than losing both. The Ravens are one of the toughest road games on anyone's schedule.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
Oher was very good 2 years ago at RT, he hasn't played there or practiced there much since. 10-12 days to change all your preparation and footwork to move back to the RT spot isn't a lot of time. It will be harder than you think for him and Yanda to make that transition and play well together.
McKinne is a total X factor. He could come in and play well because of the way he uses his size more than anything, but the fact remains he is going to barely be in "football shape" at best with only a couple weeks worth of work.He is protecting the franchises back and it could get really ugly with the Steelers pass rush. When the Jets come to town, Rex knows how to take advantage of a situation, you should know that.
I agree with you that Evans is what we have needed for a long time. I have stated that several times the last few days, but shades of days gone by with Boller (and last season Joe) back there getting killed because the o-line can't make a decent pocket for the QB keep dancing in my head.
Look, I hope I am wrong, believe me. With all the heavy emotion I expect to be feeling on 9-11, i really don't want to contemplate how bad a loss to the Steelers will make me feel, but I see this as a tough beginning of the season for the O-line. Thank God there are some easier teams on the schedule with the NFC West this year, but I expect a 2-2 record after week 4.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
Birk was getting his knee drained like every week last year, and while he was not getting tot he second level, I thought he did his job well enough. Mattison stepped in for him some last year, and looks better this year. Grubbs wsa also dealing with bone spurs in his ankle that have been cleaned up so IMO at worse they are about the same as last year while dealing with nagging injuries, and hopefully a bit better.
Yanda back at RG should also be a major upgrade over Chester.
So last year Oher, Grubbs, Birk, Chester and Yanda with Cousins, Mattison and the guy from GB who's name I do not remember already do not look nearly as good on paper IMO as McKinney, Grubbs, Birk, Yanda, Oher with LeVoir, Reid and Mattison backing them.. I just can not see that group as any worse and possibly much better. So I not only hope you are wrong, but truly believe you are, although you do have legit concerns.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
11-5. I think the Ravens split with the Steelers (would not be surprised if it was like last year), lose at SD, the Colts, the Texans and at Stl. That's potentially three home loses but the hardest part of their schedule is at home. The Colts defense gives them so many problems and the Texans knew they should've won last year but didn't finish the job.
I think though that 11-5 is enough to win the division. While a lot of pundits are ball washing the Steelers, I would take a pause. They are immediately stating that their defense is going to be lights out when there's a lot of age and injury that's creeping up on that team. In addition, they have to play the Pats who have their number and must go to Indy and Houston. That's not easy at all.
Harrison is not right and once teams figure it out they'll attack him. Is Jason Worllds ready? Can Lamar Woodley given them even more of a pass rush? Will Troy stay healhty? In addition, Ben has missed time because of injury in the past and with the way that o line has performed, he's going to take some shots. The Ravens have added young energetic pass rushers that while they may be green, they are what's needed to beat Ben and the Steelers imo. Pre-season MVP Antonio Brown has been anointed the second coming of Jimmy Smith (Jags) but do the Steelers think that teams are just going to let them just throw down the field without Ben being sacked/put on his ass? They'll go as far as Onthemend and Twinky take them because those two will see favorable matchups/numbers.
In the end though the Ravens just can't turn the ball over. They don't and they'll be fine.
Division champs but lose to the Jets in Baltimore for the AFC title. The city and Ravens fans will be apoplectic for a long time over that loss.

Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
if the oline is good 13-3, if the o-line doesnt click 11-5.
Someone posted that we lose to the jets, and I don't see that. I know alot of jets fans that are amazed by the fact that they can spell J-E-T-S, so they think they can win it all every game(sorry, jets fans annoy the hell out of me.), but the realists know they down graded reciever(too many"?" and speed is down) and there front 7 on d is still filled with holes. so I dont see that as a loss, close game? maybe, but no loss.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
10 - 6
Wild card. Win the wild card round, lose in the divisional round.
"In the end it's hard to point to one thing, but it would have been nice to have a good left tackle. It was a good season, now it's time to sign Ngata. Man, we are going to look different next year. Flacco had a good year, will people *ever* see he's a good QB and just get off his back?"Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
I'm not into predictions but I think this is a very good team. It may take a few games to start rolling but I think they will.
A good amount of posters are worried about the line which is somewhat suprising. I understand they haven't had any game snaps together this year but 4/5ths of the line have already played together for most of 2009. It's not like they havent worked together for any extended periods. The one unknown element is McKinnie and if he plays at least average for us then he'll be no worse than Oher at LT.
The other part of the team that I'm worried about is the secondary. Cary Williams and Jimmy Smith (hopefully he's starting) will be tested quickly.
They need experience. I'm expecting not only rookie mistakes from Smith but also first year jitters from Williams. Fortunately, we have decent depth if someone is not up to par.
Bottom line, this is a very good team with better athleticism than last year's team. When you lose Mason, Heap, and the others, the team loses experience. Hopefully the athleticism will overcome the lack of experience. I do think this is a playoff quality team with a better schedule than last year.

Re: Perception Experiment Thread --- or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Ravens!
Not looking to paint anyone into a corner with these "experiments". When I spent time on SunSpot, I'd read thread after thread and endless posts at different times of the year, where posters would gnash their teeth and pull out their hair over a personnel move (or the lack of one), or how the xyz position will kill the team's efforts, or how signing Stubby DelGado (the one-armed wide receiver) would bring credibility and TDs to a sputtering ofense, or any of dozens more pronouncements about the certainty of failure or success for the Ravens at that moment in time.
What was challenging was trying to have discussions about the team's fortunes without some posters stopping for a brief moment to engage their brain and realize that managing an NFL franchise isn't the same as managing their fantasy football team. And then we'd hear posters telling us, way after the fact, that "I always KNEW the Ravens made the right move with such-and-such a guy", or "I TOLD youse guys the team wouldn't be any better than 9-7 (or they'd DEFINITELY win 13 games)". Then there'd be endless aruing and debate about who actually said what, who was "smarter" when it came to predicting the future, and so on. So I decided to run prediction threads at different times of the year --
>usually around draft time, when folks worry about "How could Ozzie not draft this guy or that, we're DOOMED!" [or my favorite, Why didn't BILLICK draft so-and-so?]
>usually just prior to OTAs and TC, when some have on their purple-colored glasses sipping on the Kool-aid, figuring that some guy out of the blue who can't walk and chew gum at the same time will finally be the answer for the Ravens at {fill in the worrisome roster slot du jour}
> and then usually right about this time, after the final pre-season game and before Game 1 of the regular season, when we actually are close to knowing who will actually be on the roster, who is or isn't injured, how well or not guys have played in games against other teams, etc.
When I've summarized the results of the predictions, it feels like there are a lot of folks who are pretty good at predicting what the team's record will be when I look back after the season. It's also nice to shut up some knucklehead who declares somewhere around the middle of the season that "I KNEW that would happen and I TOLD you it would!" I drag outthe thread, look at the comments, and often find that the declarer siad exactly the opposite!
In any event, it's more for fun, so don't worry, throw your hat into the ring! ;)

I'm going to go with 13-3. I don't think we've fine tuned enough for the Steelers in the first meeting, but we'll be ready by the second. Colts seem to be another mental block, and the Jets are a mini-Raven team, they're catching up to us.

Morning Joe hosts ridiculed E.D. Hill's "terrorist fist jab" comment: "Talk about self-parody"
Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist criticized Fox News' E.D. Hill for teasing a segment on Barack and Michelle Obama's "fist bump" by saying, "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently." Brzezinski called Hill's comment "idiotic," and Geist said, "Talk about self-parody."
On the June 10 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist criticized Fox News anchor E.D. Hill for teasing a segment on Barack and Michelle Obama's on-stage "fist bump" by saying [1], "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently." Geist said of the fist bump: "It's a husband and wife greeting each other. The press was completely bewildered by this. Most of us who were born after the Civil War thought nothing of it because we see it every day. But the press didn't know what to make of this 'primitive greeting' that these two people gave each other. Case in point: On Friday afternoon, Fox News said this during a tease for one of its shows." Geist then aired Hill's comment, after which Scarborough asked: "Did I just hear them call that a terrorist -- what?" Later in the segment, Brzezinski called Hill's teaser "a problem" and "idiotic."
Later, Geist aired a segment of a 2004 interview [2] on HBO's Da Ali G Show [3] with MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan, during which Buchanan and Ali G (a character played by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen [4]) "fist bumped" twice. Geist asked Buchanan: "So, Pat, let's settle this. Is the fist pound a terrorist jab? Is it a gesture?" Buchanan responded: "No. It's a gesture of solidarity."
Geist aired Hill's comment again during a later segment of the broadcast, during which Scarborough stated: "A memo to Fox -- this is not a Hamas handshake." Geist added: "Talk about self-parody. 'Terrorist fist jab? We'll tell you after the break.' "
From the June 10 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:
GEIST: It's time for some News You Can't Use.
BRZEZINSKI: "We'll do it live."
GEIST: We've seated Pat Buchanan for good reason; you'll see why in just a moment. Fist-Bump-Gate is what this is becoming. On Tuesday night, Barack Obama --
SCARBOROUGH: Fox News tells me that this is about terrorism.
GEIST: Well, just wait a second now. Barack Obama and Michelle Obama celebrating his big wins on Tuesday night, essentially cinching the nomination, did this right here. OK?
BRZEZINSKI: That's cute.
GEIST: That's a fist bump.
BRZEZINSKI: Oh, they're cute.
GEIST: It's a husband and wife greeting each other.
SCARBOROUGH: That's sweet.
GEIST: The press was completely bewildered by this. Most of us who were born after the Civil War thought nothing of it because we see it every day. But the press didn't know what to make of this "primitive greeting" that these two people gave each other. Case in point: On Friday afternoon, Fox News said this during a tease for one of its shows.
HILL [video clip]: A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.
BRZEZINSKI: Wow.
SCARBOROUGH: What?
BRZEZINSKI: Wow.
SCARBOROUGH: What?
BRZEZINSKI: What in the world was that?
SCARBOROUGH: Did I just hear them call that a terrorist -- what?
GEIST: No. It's not a terrorist fist jab.
BRZEZINSKI: But why -- why would she even say that?
GEIST: They've had a body lang -- now, this is Barack yesterday in North Carolina. Ready? There you go. Look at that.
BRZEZINSKI: All right.
GEIST: OK, that's Governor Mike Easley.
SCARBOROUGH: So -- so what --
BRZEZINSKI: Is everyone OK?
SCARBOROUGH: Hey, hold on a second, call out the Raleigh -- call out the National Guard, get 'em to Raleigh fast.
BRZEZINSKI: This is a problem. That was idiotic.
GEIST: I think most of us watching literally thought nothing of it until we saw the total -- and we should say it wasn't just Fox, it was some people maybe in this building too who made statements about, "What does it mean? What is this odd, historic greeting between these two people where they strike knuckles?" We see it every day. So --
SCARBOROUGH: So they seriously -- they teased that on Fox as a possible sign of terrorists --
GEIST: Terrorist gesture.
SCARBOROUGH: "We have won. America, you will burn."
GEIST: And it came from a comment on some blog, and they used it on the air. "Is it a terrorist fist jab? We'll discuss, after the break."
BRZEZINSKI: Oh no.
GEIST: Now, let me show you how you do a fist -- you want to know how you do a fist pump?
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
BRZEZINSKI: Show us, Willie.
GEIST: And you want to know who knows what it means to do a fist pound?
BRZEZINSKI: Who knows?
GEIST: Patrick J. Buchanan with Ali G. Let's watch.
SCARBOROUGH: My main man, Patrick J. Buchanan.
BRZEZINSKI: What? Ali G?
[begin video clip]
ALI G: Yo. Yo, fo' real. I was feeling that man, yo. Yo, is you mashed or something? You is like, so giggly.
BUCHANAN: Well, I'm a --
ALI G: You had a little puff before?
BUCHANAN: Well, yeah. A little puff before, sure.
ALI G: Respek, yo. You needs a bit of -- [edit] You better listen to the words of my man Buchanan, 'cause he know nump tings about America and the election. Listen up, word up, keep it real, west side. Big up yourself.
[end video clip]
GEIST: Bang. Pat.
BRZEZINSKI: Pat.
GEIST: Bang. OK?
SCARBOROUGH: A terrorist jab?
BRZEZINSKI: Wow.
GEIST: Not a terrorist jab, right?
BUCHANAN: There was Ali G, in my den for an hour and a half. I went into the kitchen after it was over and I said, "Shelly, something was wrong about that interview." For an hour and a half this guy --
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
BUCHANAN: He told me he was a rap singer from Britain, and you've got to explain things very simply to him.
SCARBOROUGH: And what was so great was -- by the way, your friend Andy Rooney put up with it seriously for ten seconds.
BRZEZINSKI: Yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: He said, "I don't know who you are, but get the hell out of my office." So Pat sat there, and he was so patient. Of all the people that have been sort of --
BUCHANAN: Had.
SCARBOROUGH: - had by him, Pat was so patient, and he somehow, WMD's became BLT's.
BUCHANAN: "Did yous find the BLT's in Iraq," you know?
SCARBOROUGH: And you know --
BUCHANAN: No WMDs, no BLTs, no mustard.
SCARBOROUGH: And he started talking about -- Pat started talking about mustard gas, and that became mustard, and then Pat -- he just played with him.
GEIST: So, Pat, let's settle this. Is the fist pound a terrorist jab?
BRZEZINSKI: Please let us know.
GEIST: Is it a gesture?
BUCHANAN: No. It's a gesture of solidarity.
GEIST: Thank you, Pat.
SCARBOROUGH: There you go.
GEIST: Case closed. Pat Buchanan settles it.
BUCHANAN: We're in it, we're together, we're with it.
GEIST: It's time for some news you can't use and, really, time for a national conversation.
BRZEZINSKI: Yes, please.
GEIST: A conversation I didn't think we needed to have, but apparently we do. This, ladies and gentlemen, is called a fist pound, or if you really want to go into the accelerated class --
BRZEZINSKI: What is? Oh.
GEIST: - "Dap." That's "dap," OK? That's when Barack Obama and his wife --
SCARBOROUGH: Boom.
BRZEZINSKI: That's nice.
GEIST: -- say hello to one another. A husband and a wife with their little greeting, wonderful.
BRZEZINSKI: That's sweet.
SCARBOROUGH: But you know --
GEIST: A lot of people confused.
SCARBOROUGH: -- I'm looking at that, and I'm wondering, you know, are they trying to say something more?
BRZEZINSKI: Yeah, maybe --
GEIST: Could they even be jihadists, perhaps?
BRZEZINSKI: What? What is wrong with you?
GEIST: That's what one person suggested on Fox News.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh, god help us.
HILL [video clip]: A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.
GEIST: Oh, god.
SCARBOROUGH: No. No.
GEIST: And they say the media's out of touch. I don't know what they mean.
GEIST: So, it's not such a strange, mysterious greeting.
BRZEZINSKI: It isn't? Are you sure, Willie?
GEIST: Let's stop wondering about what this means.
SCARBOROUGH: This is not a Hamas --
GEIST: Now we know.
SCARBOROUGH: A memo to Fox --
BRZEZINSKI: Yes.
SCARBOROUGH: -- this is not a Hamas handshake.
SCARBOROUGH: This is a husband and wife --
GEIST: Talk about self-parody. "Terrorist fist jab? We'll tell you after the break."

Re: Death by chocolate! Resubmit
If you gave the marshmallow figures some time to react before they were doused with molten chocolate, your study would have been a tad more accurate.
once again Special thanks to rogerrogerroger, gutfeeling, ressamac, citizencoyote, blinddog3d, and raerae104 in the derby discussion thread for convincing me this design met shirt.woot humor standards. also to the wooters from the last thread who called for this dots over lines edit.
kid couldn't zip up his own pants but he built a VOLCANO!
EDIT: i just realized that the marshmallows display four different responses to impending doom;
1. save what you can
2. save your own self
3. pray to your deity (in this case some kid with coke-bottle glasses)
4. acceptance

What I find disturbing is that so many people want to wear dead and tortured turtles on their shirt. I own quite a few ramyb shirts, so I am not a hater, just a turtle lover.
jasneko wrote:Hehe, 'economical style'... hmm. I'll take it;) Thanks pixel, and thanks also for your suggestions earlier!
Definitely meant in a complimentary sense. You always eradicate superfluous detail and get to the heart of your ideas, which a lot of people here really respond to.
Re: The RYB color model
I like how there are complaints about the chick that is about to be blended, but no one seems to notice the one that is suffocating.
I find the dark humor in this shirt amusing, and based on some children I knew growing up, don't find it completely out of the realm of reality.

therabbit86ed wrote:Do White Candles burn at a slower rate than colored candles?
White candles burn slower than colored candles. The darker the candle, the faster it will burn. White reflects heat away from the candle, so it will burn slower, according to MadSci Network. Black, on the other hand, absorbs light and heat, making the candle burn faster.
Thank you for looking and please vote if you like burning candles regardless of color.
Dude, I totally just learned something today!

Exhibit b-cup! i do like the design though. i swear a biology group project i was once in grew one of those in our dish.
Re: (Science) - (Fiction) =
I get grey or dark shirt for sis, spill food looks less noticeable:p.
I don't really care about the rules. This shirt just creeps me out. I imagine this science project done by a really sick kid. And I really find TMNT shirts boring, regardless of the artist.
It is well drawn, though. In this case, however, that might make it worse.

Cute design. GMV especially to balance out the hyper-sensitivity.. One small issue - I would expect the bird to be red color rather than yellow in the blender. Otherwise red-red-red?
Re: Punnett's Misstep
So... the killer flower is a recessive trait? Seems a bit more dominant to me ;)
cerijerome wrote:Cute design. GMV especially to balance out the hyper-sensitivity.. One small issue - I would expect the bird to be red color rather than yellow in the blender. Otherwise red-red-red?
My mistake.. I was expecting all the birds to experience the blender..
The shirt looked really good until I understood the concept better. I just find this tasteless. Is it psychopathy week? I think most kids have a keen understanding of doing harm to animals until they learn from adults how to be cruel.

Started piecing together some items for a ESB Boba Fett early in 2012, and due to life getting in the way, have been unable to dedicate a lot of time to it until recently. Here are some pics of where I am at thus far.
I still have some items to pick-up...most notably a flight suit and girth belt. Boots should be delivered any day now. Armor is FettPride's most recent version. Jetpack is MoW. Helmet is a MR. Gloves, jetpack harness, gauntlets are MoW and I don't have any pics of those yet.
And a pic of my license plate on my Jetta.
Not sure on when I'll have the rest together to send off for entry to the 501st, but hopefully sometime this summer. I'm a teacher and am hoping to finish this up this summer.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. Sorry for the bad iPhone pics.
Take care,
