Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 22, 2009.
It's rough. ...not right.
I had a dream a few nights ago that the Pistons signed Rip. Sent from the new and improved Tapatalk 2.
A sure way to not make the playoffs is to try to relive 9 years ago.
He did start in 90% of his games played last year for a playoff team despite battling injury. Only 4 players on our roster last year made more FGs per game than him (and 3 of them left- Calderon, Prince, and Knight... Monroe is still here). I don't think it is a good idea from a chemistry standpoint either, but from a performance standpoint, he'd probably slightly improve our play if he's healthy. I still find it disorienting that 9 players from last year are gone. Makes last year seem really long ago when you think about Corey Maggette playing.
Rip was expired long ago, Rip and Tay had suffocated the team by their "been there done that" attitude which had also killed Stuckey.
So he would have been the 5th scoring option on last years team, where three of the four in front of him were shipped off. No thanks.
The fact that Rip is not on a roster this late in the season says a lot. Also, the Pistons have 15 on their roster. We aren't giving up on Jorts quite this fast.
If we sign Rip, the we gotta call Vinny...
I totally agree with what you said about Rip & Tay being the leaders of the "Been There Done That Crew". However, anything that led to the "demise" of Super Collider was totally self-inflicted. In all of my years of fandom, I've never seen the Piston franchise bend so far over backwards to create situations for a player to experience individual success.
Yea...good post. I woulda just hammered on how Stuckey has been ungrateful jerky ect., but you did it better.
You forgot to include Big Ben, Sheed and Billups in this. These guys were all the worst until we got rid of them and were left with 20 something win teams year after year. I don't know what would have had to happen for people to stop thinking these guys were the problem. I guess Rip and Tay were just the last 2 standing.
Tay was part of those teams friend. And you know that's not what he was saying.
So was Rip. Do you think it all would have worked out if they weren't there? I know I mocked all the ECF appearances, but lord knows when the team can get back there. The fandom has created and assigned the behavior of these guys to make sense of its disappointment. They are champions. Sent from the new and improved Tapatalk 2.
FTFY No one is debating that they were once good. We're debating that they are still good.
CV has more value with an expiring contract, as long as he NEVER plays in meaningful minutes for the Pistons this year. Rip would have absolutely no value with the current Pistons roster. He would end up taking minutes away from KCP.
I thought we were debating that they were the cause of everything bad that happened here? Sent from the new and improved Tapatalk 2.
Which post?
brofmfa's post where he dubbed Rip and Tay as the "leaders of the been there done that crew" is what I responded to. I understand folks not wanting people back, I just don't think they're going to start conspiring against people the moment they get here. Rip was probably as big an ass the year they won the title as he was the year he left. (Despite what MJ told him about winning.) Sent from the new and improved Tapatalk 2.
After they won the title, that was their attitude. To quote Rip, "if it ain't rough, it ain't right". We can't know that. Rip was was sulking on the bench and took pot shots at the org on the way out. I don't think it's even close. I'm sort of with brofmfa. There is a reason why no one has picked up Rip Hamilton yet.

Four in Custody Following NW Side Standoff
Four people are in custody after a home invasion robbery on the city's northwest side led to a tense three hour standoff with police SWAT units, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Police spokeswoman Sandy Gutierrez says about 6AM, four people pulled off a home invasion on Clearwater Street, near Timberhill and Grissom and stole some items from the house.
She says neighbors near the 7500 block of Barryhill, off Timberhill, called police and reported that several individuals were unloaded items in the driveway.
When officers arrived, one of the suspects surrenders, but three others ran into the home, which is apparently the residence of at least one of them, and Gutierrez said they were 'not being cooperative' with police.
Heavily armed SWAT units took up positions around the home, because Gutierrez said the suspects were 'armed and dangerous' and there were apparently several weapons known to be in the home.
After a staredown, the remaining three suspects surrendered.
Police were 'going slow' as they search the home, to make sure no one else is inside.
Officers were taking the suspects to the Police robbery office south of downtown, and were trying to return the stolen items to the homeowner.
There were no injuries reported.

Many people think of wildfires as a danger that threatens only residents of western states, and California in particular. The fact is, however, that wildfires can occur just about anyplace where conditions are favorable.
Regardless of what part of the country you live in, if your home is in a more remote or rural location such as woodlands, grasslands and mountain areas you may be at greater risk for experiencing a wildfire. In addition, firefighting services may be more limited in rural areas than in urban settings.
So it's important for you to take an active role in wildfire prevention and protection. Here are a few steps you can take:
Teach all adult family members how to use the fire extinguishers and how to shut off utilities.

Just the third head coach in the storied legacy of Green Bay women's basketball, Matt Bollant has turned in historic season after historic season in his five seasons at the helm of the Phoenix program.
Bollant has compiled an impressive 85-5 record in the Horizon League and an overall mark of 148-19 while guiding Green Bay to four NCAA tournaments and one WNIT. He is the fastest coach in school history to win 100 games and the Phoenix is a staggering 65-4 in the past two seasons with back-to-back 30-win seasons.
In the 2011-12 season, after losing co-Horizon League Players of the Year Kayla Tetschlag and Celeste Hoewisch from a Sweet 16 team, Bollant may have turned in the best coaching job of his tenure. Bollant led the team to a 31-2 record, a 14th-straight Horizon League regular season title and the Horizon League tournament title and was named the Horizon League Coach of the Year for the fourth time. The Phoenix has also been ranked as high as ninth in each of the national polls in addition to going undefeated (12-0) on the road and nonconference play (13-0) for the first time in program history.
Green Bay has advanced to the NCAA Tournament in four-straight NCAA Tournaments and two consecutive appearances in second round play under Bollant. The Phoenix head coach has led his team to a 4-4 record in eight games in the tournament.
As a No. 5 seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, its highest seed in program history, Bollant led Green Bay to its first Sweet 16 appearance with a 59-55 win over No. 12 seed UALR in the first round before knocking off No. 4 seed Michigan State in the second round with a 65-56 victory.
A fixture in both national polls throughout the 2010-11 season, in the final ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll Top 25 rankings Green Bay finished a program-best at No. 9 while topping the mid-major poll rankings throughout the season. For the first time in program history Green Bay finished the season 4-0 against Big Ten opponents (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan St.), outscoring the teams by an average of 11 points per contest.
During the 2009-10 campaign, Green Bay became the youngest team in program history to reach the NCAA tournament while earning the first ever Horizon League at-large bid. Bollant led the Phoenix to the second round of the NCAA tournament with a thrilling 69-67 win over No. 5 seed Virginia, the highest seed Green Bay has ever beaten in the tournament.
In the second round, Green Bay led the majority of the contest against No. 4 seed Iowa State only to come up short (56-60). The respect and admiration the Phoenix earned on the national stage was unmatched as Green Bay was the second youngest team in the field of 64, behind powerhouse Tennessee.
The Phoenix also won its 12th straight regular-season Horizon League championship in 2009-10, extending the nation's longest active streak. Green Bay also picked up strong non-conference wins over NCAA tournament teams Wisconsin and DePaul, as well as Marquette. As a result, the Phoenix (28-5) rose as high as No. 14 in the coaches poll during the year, the highest ranking in school history.
During his second season with the Phoenix, Bollant helped Green Bay become the first team in league history to win 18 conference games. Bollant's efforts earned him Horizon League Coach of the Year honors for the second consecutive season. The 2008-09 team went 29-4 and made an appearance in the 2009 NCAA tournament. Bollant was also recognized by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association as the Division I Coach of the Year.
In his first season with Green Bay, Bollant guided the Phoenix to a 26-6 record and the program's 11th straight postseason berth, a spot in the WNIT and a Horizon League Championship with a 17-1 record in league play. For his efforts, Bollant garnered Horizon League co-Coach of the Year accolades.
Further successes of the 2007-08 season include the team's NCAA statistical championship in three-point field goal percentage, the team's 13-game winning streak late in the season, a 15-2 home record and the team's finest defensive performance in 14 seasons when the Phoenix held Northern Arizona to just 27 points on Dec. 15. For his career, Bollant boasts an impressive 249-52 record in eight seasons as a collegiate head coach for a stellar .827 winning percentage.
Bollant arrived in Titletown following five seasons at Bryan (Tenn.) College. In his five seasons as the program's mentor, Bollant posted a 134-36 record (.788 winning percentage) with the Lady Lions at the NAIA level.
Under Bollant's watch, Bryan made NAIA national tournament appearances in each of the last four seasons. The team advanced as far as the Sweet 16 in 2005-06 with a 26-8 record. During his first campaign with Bryan in 2002-03, Bollant guided the squad to a team-record 29 wins while appearing in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) national tournament.
No stranger to the national polls in his own right, Bollant guided the Lady Lions to the NAIA top 25 national rankings four straight years, peaking at No. 11 at the end of the 2006-07 season.
Along the way, Bollant mentored four Appalachian Athletic Conference Player of the Year honorees in five years: Brittany Swanson (2006 and 2007) and Liz Bass (2003 and 2004).
Bollant also instilled the importance of academic success at Bryan. His teams posted an overall grade point average of 3.1 or higher all five seasons, with 40 percent of his players earning academic all-conference honors.
Also of note, Bollant served as the chair for the NCCAA Mideast Region from 2004-07.
Prior to his appointment at Bryan, Bollant served as an assistant coach for former Green Bay women's
basketball standout Kathi Bennett at Indiana University for two seasons and at the University of Evansville for three years. Bennett is the daughter of former Green Bay men's basketball coach Dick Bennett.
Bollant and Indiana made back-to-back postseason appearances with the team's trip to the NCAA tournament in 2002 and the WNIT in 2001. The 2002 squad won the Big Ten tournament for the only time in Indiana history.
As an assistant for Bennett at Evansville, Bollant aided his mentor in turning the Purple Aces program from a struggling one into a conference champion. After just six victories and one Missouri Valley Conference win in 1997-98, Evansville rallied to claim the MVC tournament title the following year and make its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance.
Evansville then went on to go 23-7 in 1999-00, setting a school record for victories and making a trip to the WNIT. In that season, Bollant assisted the Aces in a 72-50 win over Green Bay in Evansville.
Bollant got his head coaching start at Tigerton (Wis.) High School, where he led the Tigers to an impressive 63-10 record over three years, including a 22-1 mark during the 1996-97 campaign. His teams won Central Wisconsin Conference-Small School titles each of those three seasons.
While still in college in 1992, Bollant served as the varsity and junior varsity head coach of Deeper Life Academy in the Philippines, where both teams combined for a 15-1 record.
A 1994 graduate of Winona State (Minn.) University with a degree in business education, Bollant also has a master's degree in education from American Intercontinental University. Born March 13, 1971, Bollant and his wife, Kari, have two daughters: Abi (12), and Regan (10). The family resides in Green Bay.
Bollant named head women's basketball coach at Green Bay

Jason Booher has told his story of tragedy and redemption many, many times. On Tuesday, he brought his story to students at North Hardin High School, a significant place in his life.
Booher, an assistant principal and basketball coach at Holmes High School in Covington, is a survivor of the Carrollton bus crash 25 years ago. The crash killed 27 and is the deadliest drunken driving collision in the nation's history.
Booher, an eighth-grader at Radcliff Middle School at the time of the crash, recalled his excitement to travel to King's Island with 66 others as part of a youth trip with Radcliff First Assembly of God. He was asked to go by his girlfriend, and he asked his best friend, Chad Witt, to accompany them.
With just four chaperones, the children were left to roam the amusement park by themselves. Because of the light crowd that day, they were able to enjoy the attractions again and again.
"It was one of the funnest days of my life," he said.
On the ride home, Booher sat in the fifth row from the back with Witt.
"It was just fun, we were just reminiscing about the day," he said.
The conversations were stopped short by the impact, which he said caused everyone to slam into the seats in front of them.
That's when the fuel tank by the front door exploded.
The vehicle was packed and aisles were full of coolers for the trip. Many of the windows didn't work well, and the only other exit was at the back of the bus, Booher said.
"It was everyone for themselves, scrambling to get out," he said, recalling a dive over other passengers as they struggled to reach the back exit.
Booher, other passengers and other drivers who stopped began to pull kids off the bus, and Booher said he left that night believing all 67 passengers were alive.
"I thought we had everybody out," he said.
He didn't learn until the next day only 40 had made it, and Witt — his best friend — had died.
"Unbelievable, at 13 years old, to witness something like that, to go through something like that," he said.
Booher brought three lessons to North Hardin students.
"I have never tasted alcohol, I have never experimented with drugs and I've had more fun than anyone," he said, which earned applause from the students.
Those who choose to drink, he said, must not drive. Booher urged them, as friends, to take car keys away from anyone who makes that choice.
Booher went on to graduate from North Hardin in 1992, and he said he made a decision to not let the tragedy dictate the direction of his life. He said his experience at North Hardin inspired him to become a teacher and coach.
"They took care of me for four years when I was at North Hardin High School," he said.
Booher has since gone on to win the 2010 boys' basketball state championship as a coach at Shelby Valley High School in Pikeville.
Students will experience their own adversity in life, he said, and he encouraged them to make the same decision he did.
"Don't let any of that stuff take your eyes off your goal and your dreams," he said.
Senior Chris Williams said he found Booher's speech "very inspirational."
"And it shows there are consequences for your actions," he said.
This was the first time Booher has given his presentation at North Hardin, and the first time in front other crash survivors, which he said was somewhat strange.
"I know they're sitting there replaying their own story in their head," he said.

Zambia, a landlocked country in south-central Africa. It is surrounded by Angola, Zaire, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. The country is mostly a plateau that rises to 8,000 ft (2,434 m) in the east
Early humans inhabited present-day Zambia between one and two million years ago. Today the country is made up almost entirely of Bantu-speaking peoples. Empire builder Cecil Rhodes obtained mining concessions in 1889 from King Lewanika of the Barotse and sent settlers to the area soon thereafter. The region was ruled by the British South Africa Company, which Rhodes established, until 1924, when the British government took over the administration.
From 1953 to 1964, Northern Rhodesia was federated with Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Nyasaland (now Malawi) in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. On Oct. 24, 1964, Northern Rhodesia became the independent nation of Zambia.
Kenneth Kaunda, the first president, kept Zambia within the Commonwealth of Nations. The country's economy, dependent on copper exports, was threatened when Rhodesia declared its independence from British rule in 1965 and defied UN sanctions, which Zambia supported, an action that deprived Zambia of its trade route through Rhodesia. The U.S., Britain, and Canada organized an airlift in 1966 to ship gasoline into Zambia.

"The Point" touted conservative health insurance proposal, ignored problems
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Sinclair vice president Mark Hyman devoted the January 11 edition of Sinclair Broadcast Group's "The Point" to a one-sided promotion of a health care plan from the conservative Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), a think tank founded by former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey. The IPI proposal Hyman touted closely mirrors President Bush's own health care proposal, but Hyman did not mention that many health care experts fear this proposal will actually make the current health care crisis worse.
Hyman explained that the current employer-based health insurance system is broken and explained that IPI thinks that "removing the healthcare purchasing responsibility from the employers and giving taxpayers tax credits for managing their own healthcare purchases will allow more choice and more competition." He added: "And this would help control costs." The proposal Hyman touted seems to be the one presented in a 2002 IPI policy report.
Similarly, Bush has proposed "refundable tax credits of up to $1,000 for individuals and $3,000 for families to help low-income workers buy health insurance coverage."
But Edwin Park, senior health policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, warned in April 2004 that such a proposal would be particularly harmful to elderly and sick Americans, who would have trouble finding affordable health insurance in the individual market. Park explained:
In most states, insurers can vary the premiums that they charge for health insurance policies offered in the individual insurance market on the basis of age and medical history. Insurers also can simply refuse to cover people who have significant medical problems. The individual market thus is unfavorable for older and less healthy workers. To secure coverage in the individual market, many such workers would have to pay premiums that far exceed the amount of the tax credit [in Bush's plan].
Older and sicker individuals would encounter difficulty in obtaining adequate, affordable coverage in the individual market. The individual market is generally unregulated. A family containing older or sick members could find itself excluded from coverage in the individual market or be charged premiums that are unaffordable despite the proposed tax credit. Alternatively, such a family could be offered a plan that is affordable but does not provide coverage for a variety of significant medical conditions.
Brookings Institution senior fellow Henry J. Aaron cited the same concern -- as well as an additional concern about the high administrative costs in private health insurance -- in a November 25, 2002, op-ed in The Washington Post:
[T]he market for individual health insurance is burdened by administrative overhead. Because insurers charge the highest premiums to those who need care most, the young and the healthy have no trouble finding coverage at reasonable cost, while the old and the sick may find coverage only at exorbitant prices, if at all.
"The Point" is a two-minute conservative commentary by Hyman that airs nightly on the 62 television stations Sinclair owns or operates. SinclairAction.com, an effort led by Media Matters for America, has organized a campaign to protest Sinclair's continued misuse of public airwaves to air one-sided, politically charged programming without a counterpoint.

Hi all. I've been teaching in China for over 3 years. I already have a bachelors degree, CELTA and I'm a native speaker.
What's the next logical step for my career development? A DELTA or an MA in Applied Linguistics?
What kind of job opportunities might each of these options lead to?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A Pioneer of Theory and Practice in the Arts and Sciences, Education, and Human Services
Edith Lesley Wolfard began the Lesley School in September, 1909, for the professional instruction of kindergarten teachers. Those first students gathered in the living room of her family home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at a time when the kindergarten movement was an emerging idea and the preparation of women for careers outside the home a radical notion. Her guiding principle for Lesley was "to be different; to consider the individual of basic importance; to inculcate the ideal of gracious living; and to foster the traditions of American democracy."
Edith Lesley's belief in the power of individuals and the role of education in an effective democracy remained the foundation for the school's educational philosophy as it grew into Lesley College in 1945, and Lesley University in 2000.
Lesley University today is among the largest providers of teacher education in the nation through our undergraduate program and our Graduate School of Education, focusing on the educational needs not just in early education, but the preparation of quality teachers in math, science, special education and literacy.
As Lesley grew beyond its roots as a "Normal School" for kindergarten instructors, academic offerings were continuously expanded, building innovative programs in the social sciences, human services and the fine arts, guided by the founding educational principle

text: I have several handguns and they seem to vary on where the point of impact is compared to the point of aim. Like my glock 22, for example. I have to aim 6 inches low to impact the target where I want. But at the same distances (7-15 yards), my m&p will be 3 inches low with a dead-on hold. And my xd-m will be a shade high with the same hold. My 1911's vary, too. Some of my guns will shoot right where I'm aiming, especially the revolvers. I've heard of six-oclock holds (although the idea doesn't really make much sense to me), but is there a way to make these guns shoot the same way with the same point of aim? It's frustrating trying to remember which gun shoots where. I spend most of my time with rifles with, so I'm not used to aiming off the target. It doesn't feel right to have it sighted in above the line of sight. Any help?

Green Bay Back in Action on Thursday Night on ESPNU
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – With the regular season title and the top seed in next week's Horizon League Tournament clinched thanks to a 67-53 home win over Valparaiso last Thursday, Green Bay gets back to business and back to the road this weekend with contests at Oakland and Detroit. Winners of eight of its last nine conference road games, the Phoenix is 5-1 away from home in HL play in 2013-14.
On Thursday night at 7 p.m. CST, Green Bay will visit the O'Rena in Rochester, Mich., to take on Horizon League newcomer Oakland (11-18, 6-8 HL). The contest against the Golden Grizzlies, who the Phoenix defeated 83-69 back on Jan. 22 at the Resch Center, will be televised live by ESPNU.
In Horizon League road games, Alec Brown (21.6) and Keifer Sykes (20.7) have combined to average 42.3 points per game. Green Bay is unbeaten on the road (5-0) in those contests with Brown in uniform, with the 7-foot-1 post shooting 60.3 percent from the field.
Among the best in the country, Green Bay's defense has been stellar in its current three-game winning streak. The Phoenix has held Youngstown State, Cleveland State and Valparaiso to 49 points per game on 32.9 percent shooting from the field. The Phoenix ranks first nationally in blocks per game (7.7) and 10th in field goal percentage defense (.386).
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #12 Carrington Love, G, So., 6-1, 171
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: Thursday night's game will be televised live by ESPNU and WatchESPN with Rich Hollenberg (play-by-play) and Adrian Branch (analyst) on the call. On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl and Andrew Gavin will bring fans a radio broadcast of the action.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay and Oakland have met just seven times, with the Phoenix holding a 4-3 lead in the series. Thursday's game will be the fourth meeting between the programs in Rochester, but the first in Horizon League play.
FIRST MEETING: Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) scored a game-high 27 points and added eight rebounds and six assists as Green Bay downed Oakland 83-69 on Jan. 22 at the Resch Center. Sophomore Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) made 5-of-6 shots from the field and scored 17 points as the Phoenix shot 26-of-52 from the field. Green Bay held OU's Travis Bader to eight points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field and 2-of-11 from long range.
CROWNED CHAMPIONS: For the first time in 18 years, Green Bay has clinched at least a share of the regular season conference title. The 1995-96 Phoenix squad finished at 25-4 overall and posted a perfect 16-0 mark in conference play.
RECEIVING VOTES: For the first time this season, Green Bay is receiving votes in both the Associated Press and the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll.
STANDING TALL ALONE: In four years with the Phoenix, Brown has put himself among the all-time greats in program league history. The Winona, Minn., native enters Thursday ranking in Green Bay's top-10 with 1,633 points (7th), 782 rebounds (3rd) and 301 career blocks (1st). Brown is the program's leading rebounder at the Division I level and the lone player in Horizon League history to post 1,500-plus points, 750-plus rebounds and 250-plus blocks.
BROWN'S BLOCKS: The program's all-time leading shot blocker, Brown holds the top-four single-season rejection totals at Green Bay (59, 67, 86, 89) and needs four to break his own record. With Brown on the roster, Green Bay has broken the team record for blocks in four-straight seasons and this season has blocked a Horizon League record 207 shots. Including 12 blocks against Valparaiso, all 10 of the top single-game efforts have happened in Brown's career.
SOPHOMORE STEALS: With 62 steals this season, sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) is just six shy of breaking the Green Bay single-season record of 67 set by Terry Evans in 2008-09. Already ranking ninth in Phoenix history in career steals (117), Fouse holds the program's freshman and sophomore records.
ANOTHER RECORD IN REACH: With 301 career blocks, Brown is chasing the Horizon League career blocks record of 309 set last season by Youngstown State's Damian Eargle.
MOVING ON UP: Brown is seventh in Green Bay history in scoring (1,633 points). Sykes has scored 1,422 career points needs 20 more points to move into the top-10.
SYKES SET APART: Ranking tied for 20th nationally in points per game, Sykes is one of only two players nationally in the country (Canisius' Billy Baron) averaging 20-plus points (20.3), five-plus assists (5.0) and four-plus rebounds per game (4.4).
DEFENSIVE STAND: Holding the Horizon's League's top-scoring offense to 40 points last Thursday at Youngstown State was remarkable in and of itself, but it also marked the best defensive effort by the Phoenix against a league opponent in more than a decade. Green Bay had not allowed 40 points in a conference game since Feb. 18, 1999, and it was the largest margin of victory in HL play since 2001-02.
CHARITY WORK: This season, Sykes has made 172 free throws to break his own single-season program record for free throws made (159), set in 2012-13. Sykes leads the Horizon League and ranks tenth nationally in free throws made. With 399 free throws made in his career, Sykes already ranks fourth in program history.

Is it me or does August now mean that most classes have to close because of the lack of students willing to train.
I get a lot of Instructors coming into the shop saying the same thing.
" I am closing the gym during August " // " I am only doing a couple of classes as a lot of people are not training "
Are we getting to a point that come August classes have to close because students use Holidays, kids being off, having a couple of weeks off to rest etc ~ as reasons to take the entire month off.
I remeber being a younger man and that you only missed training if you were on holiday and only the time you were away on holiday and as soon as you were back you were back training.
or is it just certain Martial Arts that are being hit during this period.

does anyone here know of a replacement shroud or one of the sponsor or so on who makes one? thanks for the info...
Check with Coldsteel Solutions in Longboat Key, FL. He makes a blank PPSH-41 receiver with the slots already cut.
thanks for looking at this.
yes i have one from coldsteel on the way.... was just hoping that maybe someone else had just the barrel shroud set up for another one i have that is using a different receiver type (prexis)....
thought for sure i saw one in a post somewhere but the search is coming up empty
thanks again. anybody else?
If you are looking for a different type PPSH-41 to build, consider the modified PPSH-41 (K50M) used by the VC in Vietnam.
It uses a chopped barrel jacket that comes together around the middle of the barrel, like when you put your finger tips together. The front sight looks like a Chinese type AK front sight. It uses a M-3 SMG style sliding stock and a wood pistol grip.
You might can find it by doing a search for Viet Cong weapons. I came across one back in the late 1960's. The Seabee Musuem in Gulfport, MS also has one on display if you are ever in that area. They also have a number of AK and other weapons on display.
I found a picture of the K50M on www.173rdairborne.com/weapons.htm.
I have been giving a lot of thought to building one of my parts kits into that type PPSH-41. First I have to acquire a shop to build it in.
bro, you are the man. i was looking for exactly that. a 16" already extended or the shroud that i could just put over another barrel.
you just continue to amaze me. we got to get hooked up on the romy.. my wife is just relentless.... you know the drill.
here's another option:
ha ha!! got ya!! ive got one of those too. lmao and there is another one coming out soon i hear that seems to be a bit better than all the other ones.
its on page 16 of the pp41 thread over there.. looks very nice.
yes im trying to keep ALL the vendors in biz.. now you see why im having such a hard time getting over? lmao

'Ryan Miller has been one of the best goalies since the lockout. His coach relies on him to make more saves than most coaches across the NHL do. Given the same situation, most average goalies would perform below average under the same circumstances. His contract, like all contracts, is only worth it if he plays at the top of his game. And the stats suggest he should bounce back from last season – which was still a better season than an average for an NHL goalie.'

Written by a distant descendent of Leo Tolstoy, this collection of short stories focuses on the mundane and tedious lives of ordinary—however eccentric—characters in 1990s Moscow.
200 km/H in the Wrong Lane, t.a.T.u.
The English-language debut of the sexy pseudo-lesbian duo t.a.T.u. earned the Moscow natives the devotion of sugar-sweet pop-lovers around the world.
Best of Alla Pugacheva, Alla Pugacheva
Often compared to Barbara Streisand, this best-selling diva has seduced several generations with her heart-wrenching ballads.
The Best of the Red Army Choir, Red Army Choir
The two-disc album uses classic folk songs and a few Soviet gems to show off the impressive vocals of Russia's celebrated choral group.
Eto Bylo Tak Davno (That Was So Long Ago), Mashina Vremeni (Time Machine)
This recording by Moscow musicians Mashina Vremeni (Time Machine) made the legendary group the tsars of "russky rock," a reign that endured throughout the 1990s.
Horowitz in Moscow, Vladimir Horowitz
Both emotionally moving and musically magnificent, this live recording showcases the performance of world-renowned pianist Vladimir Horowitz when he returned to his homeland after many years away.
Le Monument, Vladimir Vissotski
As much poet as musician, Vladimir Vysotsky was the best of the bards who played on the streets of Moscow in the 1960s.
Mergers & Acquisitions, Mumiy Troll
The insightful Ilya Lagutenko leads Moscow band Mumiy Troll in this 2005 album, providing sharp commentary and social criticism.
Moscow, Valery Kipelov
The live album of heavy metal rocker Valery Kipelov, who once fronted the group Aria, known as the "Russian Iron Maiden."
Peter & the Wolf, Sergei Prokofiev
Each character in this children's classic is represented by a particular instrument and musical theme. Sergei Prokofiev wrote the masterpiece in 1936, after he returned to Moscow to live out his final years.
Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Wolfgang Sawallisch, and the Philadelphia Orchestra
Tchaikovsky's most celebrated ballet premiered at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre in 1877, starring ballerina Pelagia Karpakova. This interpretation by the Philadelphia Orchestra is considered one the best audio versions of the classic.
Classic Songs
From classical composers to russky rockers, Moscow has long been a source of inspiration for music-makers:
1. "Back in the USSR" by The Beatles
2. "Moskau" by Genghis Khan
3. "Stranger in Moscow" by Michael Jackson
4. "Moscow Nights" by Red Army Choir

Thursday is likely my last day on the water for 2008. Unless I can somehow find time to get out during the herring run or it gets really cold in December and I can hit the outflow at the Stacks. I was supposed to be on the water today but for the stupid jerkbag clipper system gale warnings.
It's been a strange fall for Northeast salt and if the pattern continues next year, I'm moving to Montauk.

Guoman and Thistle Hotels has counteracted recent industry-trends of graduate opportunity freezes and recruitment programme cut-backs by this month launching its committed hospitality management graduate scheme.
In the group's dedication to enhancing industry talent and guaranteeing the future of hotel leaders within its UK properties, Guoman & Thistle made the stark decision to develop an interactive, hands-on two-year knowledge and training programme that will now be open to hospitality graduates every year.
Twelve bright graduates have now joined the group having been assigned a dedicated mentor and hotel base in which to develop through the specialist curriculum. Their appointment by the groups follows a gruelling 3-month selection process that covered various interviews, interactive workshops and role-play exercises, devised by the group's People & Development team.
Heiko Figge, managing director, Guoman & Thistle Hotels explains why the launch of the graduate scheme is essential to the group's ongoing people development strategy: "It made complete sense to us that we needed to play an active role in growing tomorrow's leaders within our hotels – we are committed to attracting and developing the very best in industry talent and our graduate scheme is fundamental to maintaining this calibre of management excellence within our two hotels groups."
Christian Armstrong, People & Development Director, Guoman & Thistle Hotels adds: " The high quality of graduates that were part of this recruitment process was evident of the requirement of hospitality graduate programmes to offer these bright, young managers of the future a real career opportunity. From the interest and success around our first graduate programme this year, we have committed to opening up our programme to a number of selected graduates on an annual basis."
To spark their initiative, drive and direction skills throughout the programme, the twelve bright employees will each be assigned a personal mentor for constant support and guidance, taken from a panel of Guoman & Thistle directors and senior management. Each graduate has also been located into a suitable discipline, dependent on individual interest and skill-set, at one of the group's 38 UK properties.
In year one of the programme, graduates will experience in detail the workings of the groups' finance, meetings & events, housekeeping, front office, food & beverage and human resources departments. Year two will be a specialist year where graduates choose to focus on one particular area: finance, operations, revenue or sales – before graduating from the scheme in 2012.

Reuters Select: Too much corn, too much wheat
World stockpiles of corn and wheat are at record highs. From Iowa to China, years of bumper crops and low prices have overwhelmed storage capacity for basic foodstuffs. Global stocks of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans combined will hit a record number of 671.1 million tonnes going into the next harvest. That number is enough to cover demand from China for about a year. Reuters' P.J. Huffstutter and Karl Plume report on the phenomenon, including an interview with an Iowa farmer who would rather le

At least, statistically it must be. Since the A7 and the X-T1 and the EM 10, the numbers are way off the charts compared to before.

text: So I've had a real hard time lately in deciding where to go for a little while when it comes to mmorpgs. I have other games to play but I feel mmorpgs are just where I belong. So things I like in a mmorpg are for starters quality. I also like PvP although doesn't technically have to be a must. Sub and Free are both good for me. Immersion is a good plus too as I would like it to soak up the time well. Can anyone point me in a good direction. I'll make a poll to list a few I'm considering. Some of which I have played before but are willing to return. If you have some other games to add feel free.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by CloudWalker, Jun 3, 2011.
That's kind of the way I see it , or saw it before this thread lol. We will see
I see it as an initial investment by the company...I'm HOPING that one day Gores DOES buy the Pistons away from the company and make it his toy...that he loves...like Illitch loves the Wings............
For what it's worth: A good college friend of mine works for PS&E as an upper management guy in the marketing department. I called him a few weeks ago regarding some other work-related stuff and during the "small talk" portion of our conversation, I asked him about the pending sale to Gores. He told me that everyone at PS&E was in panic mode due to Platinum Equity's rep of tearing down companies and starting over. In fact, at the time of my call; my buddy was in Philly interviewing for another job. I'm not sharing this information to make a point or anything, I'm still not sure what it all means. To me, it's natural for a company to go through some restructuring when new owners take over. I'm gonna sit back and reserve my judgment until this thing plays out a little bit.
The tearing has already begun. Add Koosters name the the list of the 192 newspaper casualties. Where do I order my "Remember the 193" t-shirt?
Don't be so naive guys. This guy didn't fire the coach. He fired the coach without a replacement in sight. I do not think they're going to replace him. It is called attrition. This is corporate downsizing at it's best!!!
Agreed. We don't need a coach. I played in a rec league a couple years ago and we won our league without having a coach.
We can have a player-coach scenario. Let Stuck have that role. I can see it now. Practice will consist of those oh so important collision drills, where you have to yell out "AAAH" as soon as you get near the defender.
I guess the term "impactful" is quite common in corporate circles but how scary for Piston fans is that definition? How "distasteful" (no pun intended) is the example used on the bottom. Urban Dictionary: impactful A non-existent word coined by corporate advertising, marketing and business drones to make their work sound far more useful, exciting and beneficial to humanity than it really is. This term is most frequently used in "team building" seminars and conferences in which said drones discuss the most effective ways to convince consumer zombies to purchase crap they clearly do not need or even want. "The board was convinced that my new ad campaign for arsenic and semen flavored lollipops for tots will be incredibly impactful and will generate heaps of sales."
aren't we still paying Coach Curry?
"The board was convinced that my new ad campaign for arsenic and semen flavored lollipops for tots will be incredibly impactful and will generate heaps of sales." tater tot uhhh.. sounds like something i'd hear when watching Tosh.O ;)
Let's try to keep it clean guys.
Not too sound too callous but how would a change of staff at PS&E effect the Pistons? More or less VIP parting spots , hot dogs would be quarter cheaper/more expensive. Should we care?
That would be a great move to bring back all the disgraced coaches to finish out their contracts.
Not sure how it effects things or if it even matters at all (which is why I prefaced the comment with "For what it's worth). Just an observation that Mr. Head-tilt and his peeps seem to be poised to clean some house at PS&E in order to trim some fat on the balance sheet. For the record, as far as I know, my friend still has a job there but he's trying to be proactive in finding a new one in the event that he ends up getting "Koostered".
absolutely - it could marketed as a cage match! kooster the claw Vs chromedome curry
Chromedome Curry...AKA the Human Tablecloth. Sounds like something I would pay to see.
Reckon everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves here and overanalysing the VERY small information we've HEARD from Gores on the Pistons. As the old addage goes, actions speak louder than words and the first action he's taken is the one we were all wanting in sacking Keuster. Someone also pointed out accurately that the Pistons purchase is small fry compared to PE's normal operations, hence there is no reason for them to do it unless they genuinely want to see the Pistons succeed. Another obvious point already made was that the Pistons (and all organisations for that matter) are more profitable and valuable when they are successful in their business. For the Pistons, that is winning basketball games and making playoffs. Lastly, it appears as though Gores and PE were the only ones currently engaged and willing to purchase the team, so would you all prefer it had not gone ahead and us wallow another season in mediocrity with nothing being done while K.Davidson continued to look for the best payout. Even if Gores and PE look to get in and out quick, I can only see them trying to turn the franchise around so that it is at least going in the right direction so they can sell an asset that has future value. I am not looking at Gores as the saviour, but after only a week of officially owning the team it is definitely too early to be looking at the glass as half empty or completely empty as some seem to be.
@ Del. Nice post.
sometimes, to see where a man is going, only takes looking at where he's been. the intent isn't to diss anyone but to remind that balance comes from minding the middle. this forum like many lives on emotional swells. the truth of most matters generally hides in plain sight. or don't get your panties twisted because someone reports something that doesn't fit with your newest worldview. now i have to go back to work writing fortune cookie messages..

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Olympia to Alaska
I made this trip two years ago on a 30' islander. A book that was of great use was the douglas guide for BC. Also a book called "local knowledge." Do not challenge the rapids traverse only at slack water. Be sure to have tide books for all the areas you visit. The time in the guides is not adjusted to daylight savings time. Wait for a good weather window to round cape caution and stay several miles off shore.
Our biggest challege was avoiding all the logs and logging debris floating everywhere. A constant lookout is a must. We lost our anchor to a submerged logging cable.
That being said we had a great time. Saw Humpback whales everyday, ate salmon, rockfish, crab & shrimp. Also, the hot springs in northern BC are heavenly for a cruising sailor. Outboard motors get stolen in prince rupert. Enjoy the adventure and take lots of charts. Fair winds.

Because of that one word you went on the offensive not answering any questions, instead stepping on the guy with lower expirence points.
I purposefully put
"it would be nice to get as much input/tips on the voyage as possible now, rather than telling horror stories later, if there is a later"
For a reason
I then must ask what your idea of "bluewater boat" is because I am aware of your biases, on boat builder's row you just went into Bristol and commented on some guys thread that he shouldn't waste his time restoring the Bristol. If memory serves me right you also didn't even answer his question.
SEE Atom Voyages
Surveyed 4 months ago, planned ahead. Restored the boat taking everything out to the shell, fiberglass and paint outside and inside. Put a lot of the original layout back in, replaced all thru hulls and retrofitted plumbing, electrical, and now trying to maintain furler.
In December was the last time I was in san juans, she wasn't having any problems in the 14' swells. No I don't have around the world experience, but ever since I was young it was boats sailing or motoring. I know enough to not take the decision lightly, but also know how to ask for help. Thus me asking for help/advice.
p.s. sailingdog, have you sailed the inside passage? If you have then please help. If your just racking on 25 posts a day for respect, then well you aren't helping anybody. if you have personal experience with Bristol enlightening me.
tones beget tones
On the helpful side, absolutely get current paper charts for everywhere in between, sell the GPSes if you need money for paper charts, the charts are more critical to your probability of survival.
You must also have copies for your cruising area of:
2010 Light Lists - USCG Navigation Center
United States Coast Pilot®
Local Notice to Mariners - USCG Navigation Center
good luck.
|Sail smart, watch the weather, maintain your boat, and you'll be fine. Friends of friends growing up in Seattle made the trip to Ketchikan and back one summer in a 17 foot Boston Whaler - they were tough kids and of course Whalers are "unsinkable" but you get the picture. I made this passage aboard a much larger cruiser with a very experienced captain and strong crew - the biggest problem was long watches in the rain.
Go Ryan
I'm back because I relate to your journey. Also, I'm thinking some advice from old guys may sound slightly over cautious and negative. That's life. I know you get that. I know you are looking for info. I know you are capable of your planned singhanded cruise. I agree with the person that suggested your planned route is traveled by many cruisers that have not been there before. I love that you are doing this. I appreciate that you are smart enough to seek advice.
Here's more crap from an old guy:
- EMT? You dont have any worries about getting a BASIC job (Ketch or Juneau, summer). What's left of cannery work is too low level for you.
If a real job is important to you, I think looking ahead of time may be a good idea.
- it sounds like you know the major concerns? Also, it seems you know to search the community for advice. Good idea!
- yes, lots have made the route. Lots on small fishing boats. Lots on small (30-35') power cruising boats (usually traveling in a group), many doublehanded sailboats ( bigger than yours), some 27' singlehanded sailboats. Oh ya, there was a guy alone in a kayak. Another story.
So.... You're on your way.
Believe me, I could babble on for this topic.
If you want more info on the route, talk to me.
If your concerned about your vessels equipment, talk to Dog ( ok, others too,) I know the guy is gruff, he knows his snit (and it's free!)
Safe sailing!
Current, wx, taffic, routing, lack of support, and self sufficiency. All key snit.
Be aware that the 9.9 Tohatsu Four-stroke may be significantly heavier than the two-stroke and as such may present some problems. It may also be significantly larger too. If your outboard is in a well or on a bracket, make sure that the engine will fit or the bracket can take the weight and torque.
BTW, the 9.9 Mercury, Nissan and Tohatsu are really all the same engine, so if you can get any of them for less than the others, it doesn't really matter which brand you get, as they're all made by Tohatsu.
Better get cracking, cause May 9th is just around the corner.
the heater is a sig marine, fully encompasses air and exhaust ventilation outside. will be checking the check list link here in a few when i'm aboard the boat.
the engine is a 9.9 Johnson, unfortunately 2 stroke. burns 1 gph, and have aboard the capabilities for 40 hours before needing to fill. running speed is a mere 5 knots at 80% power. i have virtually all the tools needed to fix it on the boat including spare carburetor, head gasket, exhaust cover gaskets, water pump, spark plugs, compression testers, extra prop, and of course gear fluid. i know that engine from top to bottom, rebuilding it about 6 months ago before my last winter trip. would like to get tohatsu 9.8 4 stoke, heard their reliable.
have old charts Olympia to skagway Pub. 1981 and upgraded chip in 2 gps and a compass, plan on as i go getting current information and more detailed charts for possible difficult waterways.
was really planning on just working a processing plant, until maybe i got to know people that would provide for a better opportunity. thing is i ultimately want an EMS and/or Fire job, seeing how i am finishing up 4 years of education and volunteering experience. i want to live in Alaska and while between fishing seasons look and test everywhere i can. its not going to be easy, but most great things aren't easy.
a 14 knot current, woo because of that i will definitively heed that warning. vessels traffic a must, had an experience with the San Juan ferry system in tight spaces b/w Shaw and orcas islands. yeah wx channel is my friend, and whats to lose if i have to stay at port and have another beer for the days or week to avoid bad seas. better safe than sorry.
hey thank you everybody who has help thus far,
it's one thing to just read the forums, but completely another to have advice given.
may 9 is the day set to start, i know its a bit early in the season. but i will as a result be extra careful in everything i do.
Disclaimer, we have not made this trip yet. We are considering going as far N as the Haida Gwaii or Glacier Bay this summer. We've been doing research on the subject and we have been sailing around Van Isle and the Puget Sound for 3 years.
Tons of people go up to Alaska in the summer from the Puget Sound including a lot of people in power boats who really, really don't like waves and wind. There are plenty of places to sit tight and wait for good weather. There is lots and LOTS of light air here in the summer (too much for our taste) so non-storm conditions are the norm and it is very easy to only travel in light conditions.
As long as you plan your trip around good weather, safe harbor escape routes, know your currents and time the narrows you are going to transit, it really doesn't seem that difficult to have a good safe trip North. Respect your limits and you don't have to get yourself overcommitted.
I think the confusing thing is how brutal it can be in the fall/winter/spring here. Although you can certainly get strong winds in the summer, they are much more rare and usually not long lasting.
Max's point about wind against current is key... I warn people about this all the time when they're planning a Cape Cod Canal transit... one person I warned was in a 50' sailboat and they had the misfortune of coming out of the canal into a 20 knot SW wind... and it was like trying to sail in a washing machine.... gear broke, people got hurt... not good at all. With the currents up there, I'd imagine it can be even worse.
If you haven't already, double check the bulkheads for soft spots or rot... that can happen near chainplates if they've been leaking... and I'd recommend you read the Boat Inspection Trip Tips thread I started, even though you already own the boat, as it will give you a good overall idea of what shape she's in and what needs to be looked at further.
What kind of engine does the boat have??? What shape is it in?
Do you have a radar reflector already mounted or hoisted on a halyard? If not, get a Davis Echomaster Deluxe and rig a halyard with two blocks on the spreader about 12" apart to hoist it... The reason you need two blocks on the spreader is so that the radar reflector doesn't chafe the halyard it is hauled up on. Without a radar reflector, your boat is basically invisible to radar.
Inside passage
Cool. Inside passage to Ketch? Exciting!
First, the advice and concern about your voyage is justified. He knows his snit, and is concerned about your safety.
So you get where I'm coming from, here's me:
I am a lifetime sailor and I currently own a 40' boat moored in Seattle.
I have sailed singlehanded a lot.
I spent 5 yrs as a tug master, towing barges between Seattle and SE AK. Also, have experience throughout SE. I've been to every town you may be considering. Lots of time on this route with a tug and barge. Haven't sailed it.
Here's some stuff that seems relevant:
-Furler: if you want to know what it is, look for similar, ask an old boatyard guy, etc. This blog was a wise start. If it works well now, it should be ok for your trip. Probably a low priority concern.
- you'll need charts. 50 comes to mind, maybe a few more or less. Depending on a computer for this is a bad idea. I'm not going to suggest outdated charts are usable. Just a whole lot cheaper.
- plan your route and know possible holes.
- as mentioned, the is huge amount of commercial traffic. All of it will take their half out of the middle (ok, not all). Be aware of the VTS and frequencies.
- Current is a prime concern (Example: Seymour Narrows can have 16 kts)
- often the wind will not be in your favor. A reliable engine, and fuel, is a must.
- monitor the wx. Wind against current can add up to seas dangerous to large commercial vessels.
-again, the wx and sea conditions are not to be taken lightly.
-I advise you to continue to seek advice from folks that know from experience.
- fishing in AK ain't what it used to be. Getting on a boat without experience will be tough. Logging? Canning? These industries are also WAY down. Tourism is up and I believe seasonal jobs are available?
- Ketchikan is the first large (for Ak) town after you cross the boarder. I know guys there that would be happy to let you buy them a drink, ect. From there you can learn about SE AK.
Good luck, Safe sailing!
|What kind of propane heater is it??? Hopefully it is a fully vented unit, otherwise it will introduce an awful lot of moisture into the boat, and that can lead to mold/mildew/condensation problems. Be aware that you'll use a lot of propane living on the boat and will need a good local supplier...
