WAAAAY BITD (like 1999... before Tumblr and instant blogs) there was a Web site called cat-scan.com (now owned by someone else) that collected images of cats on scanners... hours of tear inducing photos with commentary and hate mail. Any shots with butts and/or nipples were called kitty p0rn... lol

Re: Cat's Cradle
The kitty sure is cute, but overall, the design is a bit chaotic. I think it would look nicer if the kitty was above the yarn craziness and much larger (you did such a good job with the cat it seems a shame to have it so tiny). It would also make a little more sense to have the yarn hanging off of something (like maybe have knitting needles as pins and do some string art).

I agree with why the name calling. They were young adults and I agree with probably not intoxicated. (read the same bad accident on the SF Bay with a totally sober large family) I have two kids, adult sons 25 and 22 a non-partier and an outdoors type partier that does like a drink. They grew up around boating and they both know that a 22ft sailboat won't hold 10 people, hence they wouldn't have been on it.
This accident happened to some who were/are good adults that made some bad judgments about a boat that never should have more than 7 persons on board if you want to operate the boat and than I feel that is 2 to many.
10 on my 32' is crowded but we can still sit all on one side without it heeling to much due to its 13,000 lbs boat weight and deep keel weight and not just a 2,500 lbs. tub.
My prayers go out to the families that lost their "kids"

Partying, drinking and operating a boat is just plain stupid. If this happened to a young man, I blamed the parent. If they love their children, then take care of them away from harm.
In my career for the last 30 years, I have saved and improved the quality of others. I have not lost the humanity in me. In fact, as I grow older my passion in improving the quality of life grows stronger. The is way i have not retired yet because there are so much to do.
Kids don't some very stupid things. because it is not programed in their genes. It is the influence they gain from the surrounding. If you are old enough to have kids, then you are old enough to care for them. Show them the proper way, instills value in their head. Don't blame the government, the internet, or Obama. Take care your own, especially your kids.
Again, I am sorry to step on yours toes. All the best and hope you find peace in your heart.
Just curious. Do you always drive the speed limit or below? If you answer is no, what if you ran over a child and you were driving 1 mph over the limit. Should you be held accountable? Have you ever had a child passanger in you car and maybe on a rare occasion not had the proper safety or booster seat but drove the child anyway using a grown up belt? Have you ever driven a car that was not in top shape, maybe the tires were worn, or the conditions (icy) were poor? Have you ever driven when you were tired but thought you really needed to get to where you wanted to go?
We all take risk, mostly we win, but sometimes we loose.

Newspaper said it was a Venture.

capsized boat
thank you to all of you who joined in with more understanding than what I saw in some of the early posts
i wasn't offended by calling them kids--i have kids in their 20's too--i would still call them kids
on the other hand, each one of them chose to step on the boat and chose not to find a vest and either put it on or have it nearby--so I wouldn't put the blame on any one of them in particular; not the owners or operators or anyone else; they were adults in that respect; another 23-year old wouldn't have been able to make them wear a vest.
even so; this is so tragic that it can just stop me cold
those aren't just bad or even crazy-reckless things to do--just not taking the conservative safe route; it was calm weather and water; they all thought they could swim and were just staying in the river--no big open Bay water; there were vests on board--and all of their phones in a dry bag; guess they figured it the boat got into trouble some of them could swim alongside or they'd have plenty of time to get the vests;
then--it went over suddenly; i heard it was a retractable keel--unsteady--once it flipped, it was dark and they tried for a very long time to right it again but couldn't; it was cold and they knew they had to get to shore and couldn't afford to keep trying.
the operator moved from the rudder to the front of the boat to let the girls have privacy to use the bathroom; best guess is that someone pushed the rudder hard to the left or right and tipped the boat suddenly; a mistake; maybe hard to balance and grabbed it to gain her own balance--or maybe a wave jogged it to one side suddenly; not sure anyone will know for sure, but seems the most likely thing that happened.
5 reached shore after swimming for over 3 hours--that's a lot of will power and good determined kids. the others were in groups--and it's not hard to understand that means they had an intimate connection to their two good friends being overtaken by hypothermia and no way to help them.
those 2 boys were health conscious and nice--read their facebook pages; people of all ages praise them for just being NICE--nice to everyone--kids who loved nature, who took walks and hikes and tried to take full advantage of the beautiful outdoors---and in the end--those two--who had no body fat--who were so lean and fit---had zero protection from the cold. i'm thinking they were so fit they probably could have peeled off and made it to shore with the others. wonder why they were so far back---helping the others?
a long and traumatic night, full of big open black quiet water, unable to hear or see their other friends, no way to call for help; the last ones were in the water for almost six long long hours; think about that.
i feel so bad for all of them and I think we're worse off without them; sort of makes you wonder about all those out there who clearly DON'T care about taking care of themselves or anyone else--and how they manage to stay alive
There was an article in today's paper where they found the one missing about a mile downstream. So 2 lost in this tragic accident.
No reason given for the capsize except it's under investigation.

One thought, maybe they forgot to put down the center board and that made boat unstable.

Look at accident statistics, actuarial science, or any host of other readily available data to confirm that twenty year olds do not operate as a group as cautiously and thoughtfully as older folks.
Calling them "kids" was done paternally, not "infantilising" them. For what it is worth, at their age I was a veteran and squad leader in the Army, my son that age is a NCO. I have been a "bullet proof kid" and have raised the same regardles of how much I try to convince them otherwise. Many of us do not appreciate our mortality until we have put a few more years behind us. That was my only point calling this group "kids." Recognising youth for what it is is a far cry from infantilising them.
I worry that the more we take away responsibility from individuals, the less they develop. Its a terrible cycle, and for me part of the irresistible draw of the sea is the ideal of an unabridgeable personal responsibility.

No matter how good of parents we try to be, kids will occasionally lapse in their judgement. We can just hope and pray they emerge unscathed when that happens.
Heartfelt condolences to the friends and families.....

'Buffalo's offense has started each of its three games rather cooly before igniting in the second and third periods with numerous scoring chances and impressive shot totals.

Pope taps MC native as bishop
Pope Francis has appointed Miles City native Monsignor Stephen J. Berg to be a bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Pueblo, Colo.
Berg, 62, is the oldest of 10 children of the late Connie and Jeanne Berg.
He graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1969, earned a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1873 and a Master of Music from the Eastern New Mexico University in Portales in 1975.
He taught music at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas and worked 14 years in the retail nursery industry as vice president or general manager for Sunbelt Nursery divisions.
He entered the Assumption Seminary in San Antonio, Texas in 1993, where he received a Master of Divinity degree from the Oblate School of Theology in 1999.
Also in 1999, he was ordained to the priesthood by his maternal uncle, Bishop Joseph Charron, now the Bishop Emeritus of Des Moines, Iowa.
Bishop-elect Berg was a parish priest of several churches in Texas, and currently is the diocesan administrator for the Fort Worth, Texas Diocese.
"I am humbled and deeply moved that Pope Francis has appointed me to be the next Bishop of Pueblo," Berg said in a press release from the Fort Worth Diocese. "I know Colorado to be a beautiful land of beautiful people, and I look forward to serving the faithful of Pueblo as their shepherd in Christ. I eagerly anticipate our future as we grow and build our local church together."
Denver Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila will ordain and install Berg as bishop on Feb. 27 in Pueblo. Archbishop Vigano will represent Pope Francis at the ordination, the press stated. Bishop-elect Berg will replace Fernando Isern as the leader of Catholics in southern Colorado. Isern retired in June because of poor health.
Bishop-elect Berg is the second priest from the diocese named a bishop in two months. On Nov. 19, Monsignor Michael Olson also received the appointment. He will be ordained and installed as the Bishop of Fort Worth on Jan. 29.
"I personally am happy for Msgr. Berg and the Diocese of Pueblo," Olson said in the release. "His ministry as pastor, vicar general and administrator of the Diocese of Fort Worth during the time of sede vacante (absence of a bishop in the diocese) has prepared him for his new assignment.
"At heart, Bishop-elect Berg is a good priest, a kind man, a true Christian and a wise leader," Olson continued. "I will miss him very much, as will all the priests in our Diocese. Yet, we should be consoled that Msgr. Berg is once again doing God's Will by answering Christ's call to serve the Church. The Holy Father's appointment of Msgr. Berg is a statement of affirmation and confidence in the priests of the Diocese of Fort Worth."

I picked up a matching numbers Pontiac Ventura II 350ci/Th350. I am looking to find out my original wheel options for that year to make it period correct. Which ralley wheels or rims are they???
I sure hope you're keeping that Pontiac 350...it'll swallow a 4" or even 4.5" stroke crank easily. the former will get you 383 cid, and you can bolt on 6X or other heads, as long as the valve will clear the cylinder walls.As for the rims, think first about how big a brake package you want to put in...you can get 15" rally rims from mid to late 80's Formula Firebirds in the junkyard. Also, most Ventura rims not put on the one year GTO option, were steel rims with full hubcaps, from what I can remember. Can you mix a basic aluminum rim with steel hubcaps? I'm not sure, maybe Stockton Wheel can answer that question. But if you're gonna go with a steel rim, I'm going to guess one from the 80's or 90's will have less steel in it for fuel economy, and that would help out your handling, so it may be an idea to experiment with.
Just because you can't do it...doesn't mean its impossible
the car probably had rallye II units,which are a styled stamped steel design.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by KGREG, Jan 13, 2010.
Well, don't let this get around.
If you have the right frame of mind, the passage is not hard. If Johnson slips there is no problem. If he does not, you go for Xavier Henry. All and all, you have a combination of a deadly back court. This will include (surprise): Ben Gordon. Solidify around stable talent that can grow with one another and has aggressive directions on how you must fill. JD's job is too fill, because this is his strength. Don't force against your nature. Step back from the problem and take another approach.
I don't care what position the guy plays. Joe's gotta draft the dude with the best chance to become the supportee that our current roster of supporting cast guys can support. ...the Pistons need a "main man" in a bad way.
NBA comparison on NBADraft.net is Rodney Stuckey/Ben Gordon. Combining Stuckey and Gordon is a dangerous combination Willie Warren, Blake Griffin's Oklahoma teammate, was considered to be a lottery pick last season had he elected to go into the draft. He is "probably" going to slip into the second round this year for a bunch of reasons.... Willie Warren | NBADraft.net
Rodney Stuckey has really made a name for himself...Another Rodney Stuckey comparison Dominique Jones | NBADraft.net
His name has been making the rounds. This kid is good and could be a late 1st rounder.
I had a dream about the draft last night. It started off with the lottery and we got #1. Then like the next day was draft day and I missed it so I check online and see that at #1 we took Patrick Patterson.... What da....
That they do.
Well.. We know now that we get the 7th Pick. YES, Coach Q screwed BIG TIME by winning thoe last games of the season. But we can't go back in time and fix it. (Because if we can, I would go back to 2003 Draft and punch Joe D in the face until he Pick Wade - Melo or Bosh...) _____________ So, there is nothing that WE can do, beasides talking about what to do with this 7th pick. Should we trade it? (Pick + Rip + Wilcox ?) Or perhaps we should pick someone.. But who should we pick? Greg Monroe? Ed Davis? Hassan Whiteside? Ekpe Udoh? Cole Aldrich? (I don't include Favors and Cousins for obvious reasons) So, let's talk.. Who you think is a better fit for the Pistons?
Rip is from Pennsylvania. Lets package him up to swap picks with Philly, then take Turner.
Forget it, we're doomed. Joe is clueless. I still can't believe I'm watching Rondo RUN the Boston Celtics into the NBA Finals. And he could be a Detroit Piston right now if Joe didn't insist on overvaluing our ridiculous players. If we really want to predict this draft, we need to start thinking about the one guy we don't want, and that'll be the one Joe gets.
Oh ye of little faith! As time goes along, Joe's drafting of Stuckey, JJ (no controversy there), Daye, Summers - his signings of Bynum and Gordon (but perhaps NOT CV) will be applauded. Assuming he can't draft or spot talent or build a cohesive team is just a bunch of uniformed angry fan-speak, as far as I'm concerned. The team has assets, and I assume we'll get a guy who will become a good center over time - but it won't be pretty next year for that draft pick, as almost no big-men coming into this league are gonna "get'er done" in their rookie year. It's more important that he set us up for 2011 and beyond by making astute trades of Tay - who I'm sure will be gone and will be a valuable asset now or at the trade deadline since he's a very fine player on a very nice expiriing contract - and Rip, who will be extremely attractive as a trade asset by next summer, since he'll effectively be on an expiring contract with 2013 not guaranteed. It's also more important that he use the assets he has now to create a team that can play well with the assets we keep. 2010-11 is going to be a honking mess to watch at times whether we get younger or whether we hold onto Tay and Rip for awhile, since trades will mean a ton of transition, and since no-trades will mean a slow down team of veteran leaders trying to mesh with a speed it up team of young guns. "But that's okaaaayyy. Joe can doooo whateeeever he wants." (As long as he has a plan and sticks to it as he builds this team).
Present is not good but we could make steps forward: Pick with seven one big men with potential,not aldrich. Trade Rip for Kirilenko Spiring,and try to sign next year Marc Gasol for next years,is a realistic target. Pick one PG with second round. We have wilcox,Prince and Bynum(sign and trade) to get in exchange one quality young player and first round picks. Give a shot Stuckey to lead pistons with a no injured and structured team (one real center,Villanueva and gordon) I hope Kuester give minutes Austin Daye,daye is very bad defender but he colud learn. Pau Gasol had first two seasons playing time even though his body was not quite thin and not very muscular. This is our second transition year,we must be positivist and support players despite they don´t win one ring next year. Nets,Knicks,Bulls,Sixers and Wizards will improve this summer with money and top draft picks,we only can wait our players work hard with pistons dna and support them despite losses.
In retrospect...I give Joe a B+ for last years draft.
I think Daye has the potential to turn this into an A draft. I also think Summers, on top of that, is a player. That would be an A+ draft.
I think you are probably overvaluing both players, but that will be determined in time.
I'm agree with that. A few weeks before the Last years' draft i was talking about Austin Daye like if he was Kevin Garnett (or the next KG).. Now I have to say that i was really wrong, but I still have faith in him. Jerebko will turn out to be one of the best Pistons Draft pick of the last decade.
Then again he could come back next year and suffer through a year long sophomore slump....
Yes, I know that is a possibility. But I have faith in Jerebko..
Virginia Commonwealth's Larry Sanders improving his NBA draft stock BY VINCE ELLIS FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER The Pistons will likely look for size up front with the No. 7 pick of the NBA draft on June 24, president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said at a recent new conference. That wasn't exactly news for anybody who watched the Pistons stumble to a 27-55 record last season with arguably the worst frontcourt in the league. But while the focus is on sure-fire lottery picks Derrick Favors, DeMarcus Cousins, Ed Davis, Ekpe Udoh and Cole Aldrich, Dumars said on the night of the draft lottery that the Pistons would have to be mindful of fast-rising prospects -- for the pick and for the possibility of trading down. One such prospect could be VCU's Larry Sanders. Various mock drafts have the 6-foot-11 power forward going in the later part of the first round, but his nearly 7-6 wingspan is intriguing. In a workout with the Raptors last week while matched against Udoh, Aldrich and Daniel Orton, Sanders did far more than hold his own. Projected to be a power forward, his length should enable him to guard all three frontcourt positions. He is a freakish athlete with the ability to run the floor. He needs to gain weight, he is only 220 pounds, but he showed more strength than expected with the Raptors.
Separate names with a comma.

I'm pretty in the same place... I have a 7month gsd. She tends to bark at other dogs at the dog park, isn't aggressive towards them. The barking however makes other dogs and owners think she's aggressive. Afterwards while...long while she calms down, and stops barking. I need help too.

|When he does it mark it with a no and grab him and remove him from play for a few seconds till he focuses on you and then allow him to go back into the fray. If that doesn't get the point across after a few repetitions mark with a no and pop him on the butt or something and then withhold him from play for a few seconds then back into the fray.
Undesirable dog park tendencies.
I have a 6 1/2 month old DDR male. Determined to make sure he is socialized well, I've been taking him to a dog park 5-6 days a week since he was four months old. I've also put him through the standard Petco obedience class (not exactly extraordinary). His obedience training isn't really the problem. He loves to play rough, go figure. It's not a problem with my other GSD and other rescue dog. They all play rough well together. However, lately he has begun to bark and be very vocal while he's chasing or wrestling with another dog. With most dogs it's not a problem, but others seem to take it as aggression and then it escalates. He normally backs off, he isn't a fighter, but he will still continue to bark and it agitates the other dog and sometimes others. Is there a way to modify the way he plays? I can't bring treats or toys there because of all the other dogs. What is weird is with some dogs he doesn't make a peep while playing. He'll wrestle with this golden doodle and won't make a sound and they play perfectly. On another instance he'll growl and bark while playing with a Bernese puppy. One of my big problems is non-regular visitors take it as aggression and instigation. Any suggestions on how to correct his play with 10+ other dogs around ?

"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"
"Easy to create our Christmas card using this card layout. Perhaps just my unfamiliarity with the product but would have liked to have been able to put a text box on the front of the card in front of the pic. We got the glossy print this year (versus matte last year) and much prefer the glossy look. Overall, great product."
"The paper quality was fantastic - heavy and colorful. The printing was clear and easy to read. We were very pleased with the cards and received many compliments from friends and family who received them."

Contract Law 101: Dealership apologizes for having customer arrested
Chesapeake Virginia, May 7 2012,
Man buys blue Chevrolet Traverse at Priority Chevrolet, takes
it back and trades it for the same car, a black Traverse with more equipment. The dealership
fails to pick up on the price difference. The contract is finalized and signed, reflecting the
lower price of the original blue car.
Next.. the dealership then realizes its mistake and has the customer arrested for theft.
Police realize there is no case and drop the charges. Customer sues. Dealership apologizes.
More to follow.
According to the lawsuits, Sawyer test-drove a blue Chevrolet Traverse on May 7 but ultimately decided to buy a black one. He traded in his 2008 Saturn Vue, signed a promissory note and left in his new SUV.
The next morning, Sawyer returned and asked to exchange the black Traverse for the blue one.
The lawsuit claims Wib Davenport, a sales manager, agreed to the trade without discussing how much more the blue Traverse would cost. (Dealership vice president, Stacy) Cummings disputed that, saying Davenport told Sawyer it would cost about $5,500 more than the black one and that Sawyer orally agreed to the higher price.
Regardless, the final contract Sawyer signed did not reflect the higher price, which Cummings said should have been in the area of $39,000. He blamed a clerical error.
"We definitely made a mistake there. There is no doubt about it," said (Dealership owner, Dennis) Ellmer.
After signing the contract - which listed a sale price of about $34,000 - Sawyer immediately left the dealership and returned with a cashier's check covering what he owed after dealer incentives and his trade-in.
A week later, Sawyer came back from a vacation to find numerous voicemails and a letter from the dealership, the suit said. In a phone conversation, Davenport explained they had made a mistake on the contract and sold the car for too little. He asked Sawyer to return to the dealership and sign a new contract.
The lawsuit claims Sawyer refused. Cummings said Sawyer initially agreed but never followed through.
When Sawyer did not return to the dealership, Priority staff continued their attempts to contact him via phone, text message and hand-delivered letters. They eventually contacted police.
On June 15, three Chesapeake police officers arrested Sawyer in his front yard and took him before a magistrate judge. He was released on bond after about four hours at the Chesapeake jail, the suit said.
Commonwealth's Attorney Nancy Parr said her office dropped all charges Aug. 23 after speaking with representatives of the dealership and determining there was insufficient evidence to pursue the case.
In an interview Tuesday, Ellmer and Cummings said their staff never reported the SUV stolen and never asked for Sawyer to be arrested. They said they called police only for help locating the SUV while they pursued the civil action.
After speaking with police Wednesday, however, Ellmer said he'd learned one of his managers, Brad Anderson, had indeed said the SUV was stolen.
Kelly O'Sullivan, a spokeswoman for the Chesapeake Police Department, said the officer told Anderson in advance he was going to secure a warrant for Sawyer's arrest.

Re: Headed North...
I just fired up the gas log fireplace in the basement - damned it's cold outside. The thermometer on the deck says 39 degrees - sure would like those numbers to be 40 degrees higher. After getting 85 percent of the gear off the boat today it became apparent that I have a lot of work to do in order to make it pretty again. I just ordered some non-skid for the decks (Kiwi-Grip), and I already have a couple quarts of white epoxy paint for the other surfaces that need lots of attention. Even the woodwork looks nasty, so I guess is better check my polyurethane supply, too.
The cabin sole is looking a bit worse for wear, so I'll likely sand the cabin's flooring and pretty it up as well. I hate the dinette table, always have. Think I'll pick up a slab of black walnut from the saw mill, have it planed and make a neat, custom table in the shape of a wooden hatch cover. Something about 4 inches thick from a single slab of wood of about 3 X 5 feet. I've made these in the past and they really look great when properly finished.
Hope to see everyone at the upcoming rendezvous,
Welcome back home! Your adventure over the last 6 months will give you reflection for eternity. Thank you for sharing with me a small part of that experience. Cheers

Gary, I don't know about you, but it seems really odd that drinking seems to cure sea legs.?Hmmm, lol. glad you made it back and thanks for sharing your voyage and pictures. CaptG
Re: Headed North...
Welcome home, Gary! We really enjoyed reading your blog and look forward to seeing you again at the Rendevous. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us.

Re: Headed North...
Gary, Never give up, we all, at least those of us who are getting up there, have those same feelings after a long pleasurable but difficult sail, especially on the return leg. You sounded so very positive going south and have inspired so many of us who have not had the time or funds to take on such an adventure. You are still an inspiration to those who are thought to be members of the Over The Hill Gang. My money is on you Gary, you will sail south again. Your are still that same person who headed south on the beginning leg.
Had a very good friend years ago who is no longer with us. He was 84 when we met him in 1987, still single handed to Mexico and the Bahamas until he was in his mid 90's. His wife would fly down to meet him. What an amazing fellow Avery Katz was. He told me that he too saw that aging old fart in the mirror after each voyage.
Would hope to still, some day, experience that which yon have accomplished. Thank You Gary for sharing with us all.

Thanks for letting us tag along...
As a newbie I enjoyed the read and the pics as well.
Re: Headed North...
Thanks for the great comments, everyone. I'm headed up to the boat to clear out all the gear, refill the gas tank, and meet with the marina owners to set up a date for their summer party where I'm their entertainer.
Sure felt good to sleep in that Sleep Number bed last night,
Re: Headed North...
Welcome home, Gary - well done...
One thing I'd suggest, is please don't rule out doing it again next year, or at sometime in the future... I think if you could enlist others to accompany you along the way as crew, you'd find it would make that trip FAR less of an ordeal than it can be doing it singlehanded. You no doubt appreciated that, having done some of it with Melissa aboard, that sounded like it turned that leg into a genuine pleasure, instead of the sort of forced march that motoring down the waterway day after day can easily become...
I generally prefer to go it alone, but usually being in a hurry and on a schedule, that's the exception... Plus, I've been doing it that way for so long, I'm simply accustomed to it... But, don't let the toughness of your return trip deter you in the future, the weather over the past 6 weeks or so along the ICW has been highly unusual, one of the worst months of March in recent memory... Push back your return date another month or more, it would likely be a whole different ballgaime... Once the prevailing onshore/southerly quadrant winds start to settle in, coupled with the much longer days in the spring, the trip back north is generally quite pleasurable, and usually easier to complete within a given time frame, than it is in the fall...
In addition, if you can manage to spare the time and dial the pace back a bit more, getting off the Ditch and exploring a bit can make a HUGE difference... Going out to a spot like Cape Lookout Bight, and relaxing/hanging on the hook for a couple of days, can do wonders in terms of 're-charging your batteries'... The North Carolina sounds afford some wonderful opportunities to explore, getting off the ICW route and to a spot like Ocracoke can really enhance the trip, and transform it from being just a delivery, into a real cruise...
Anyway, just food for thought... Enjoy your summer on the bay, but please take the time to mull over the possibility of trying it again in a more relaxed fashion, and speak to friends or folks you might meet about the possibility about coming along for the ride...
And, of course, I'm sure you'd find no shortage of willing volunteers right here on Sailnet, willing to be recruited...
In either case, glad to hear you plan to return to the Keys next winter, it's a wonderful place...

Ann Mulford's recipe for Two-Bean Salad doesn't disappoint. The Lincolnville, Maine, reader says, "This mixed salad sure is a winner.

The skiving machine accommodates gear diameters ranging to 700 mm, swing diameters ranging to 850 mm and modules ranging to 8 mm. The machine is said to be equally suited to small-lot and mass production runs. According to the company, skiving is a viable and cost-effective alternative to gear shaping and other soft-machining processes such as hobbing and broaching. Process control is supported by a dialog menu in the control unit. Modifications to profile and tooth trace can be easily applied. Simulation tools calculate chip geometry, chip formation and contact geometries for each specific process step, enabling efficient, focused process design.

I decided to purchase A 408 chevy engine from T&L in march 2008. Contacted them, discussed options and decided which would be best for my application. I sent in my deposit in early may 2008 and then had no correspondance with them until july 2008. I contacted them (talked to rob) to ask when engine would be completed and was told they were having trouble getting the AFR cylinder heads from their supplier and if I would accept ported Dart heads with the same flow rates they could get the engine out in "A COUPLE OF WEEKS".I agreed to this and again heard nothing. Called back in SEPTEMBER 2008 and was told "ENGINE WILL BE GOING ON THE DYNO WEDNESDAY (ROB AGAIN)AND SHOULD BE SHIPPED WITHIN 2 WEEKS". MANY MANY CALLS LATER started dealing with RAY. I told ray that it has been almost A YEAR since my deposit was sent in and would like to know when my engine would be completed and shipped? I was told "WE ARE VERY BUSY BUT I AGREE A YEAR IS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE I WILL TALK TO LLOYD (THE OWNER) AND GET BACK TO YOU". Two weeks pass no E-mail and no phone call. I call back and talk to ray and he tells me "I`m LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW IT`S BEEN DYNO`D AND SHOULD BE CRATED WITIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS" I told him great could he connect me with the billing department so I could get my payoff amount which he did so I could get it soon as possible. I sent final payment and one month later still no engine. E-mailed lloyd (THE OWNER) asking him when my engine would be shipped since I HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PARTS THAT WERE PURCHASED THAT ARE NOW OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY ENGINE (A YEAR)AND ALL I WANT IS AN HONEST ANSWER. His E-mail reply was "UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE VERY BUSY AND WE ARE BETTER ENGINE BUILDERS THAN WE ARE BUSINESSMEN I WILL CONTACT ROB AND TRY TO GET IT SHIPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE". TWO WEEKS LATER: I call again (TALKED TO ROB) to only be told it has been dyno`d and is in final dress stage and should go out in a week. CALLED back FRIDAY May 29 2009 (NOW 13 MONTHS) talked to ROB and the story now is "TOP END IS BEING PUT ON IT NOW AND SHOULD BE GOING ON THE DYNO WEDNESDAY" EVERY TIME ITS A DIFFERENT STORY. ALL I WANT IS AN HONEST ANSWER IF THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME WHEN IT WAS ORDERED IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR I WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN CALLED THEM UNTIL THEN BUT ALL I GET IS A RUNAROUND AND LIES. Everytime I pickup a car magazine theres an article about how they went to T&L and had an engine built I WONDER IF MY ENGINE WAS GIVEN TO A MAGAZINE OR JUST PUT ON THE BACK BURNER AGAIN. SORRY ABOUT THE LENTH OF THIS STORY JUST VENTING. I GUESS I`LL EITHER HAVE TO WAIT,GO TO NORTH CAROLINA PERSONALLY OR HIRE A LAWYER.
DID YOU EVER GET YOUR ENGINE?DID YOU GET YOUR CONCERNS TAKEN CARE OF?I THOGUTH THIS WAS A GREAT PLACE TO GET AN ENGINE?If anyone else has things to say about T&L, both good or bad pleae let me firstname.lastname@example.com
I have not bothered to call them back, but will on monday the 29th. If they tell me once again it will be "on the dyno next week" I am going to tell them great I will be there to watch it as I am on vacation and will make the 10 hour plus drive to be there when they open that day. I am then going to E-mail lloyd to inform him that I will be there for the dyno session. If when I show up if there is not an engine ready for the dyno I am going to demand A refund, and go directly to the bank the check is from and cash it before I leave the state. I will update whatever the outcome.
Called on tuesday and was told there was A note that lloyd was to contact me, but he was not there at that time. I was then asked if they should go ahead and dyno the engine or I could come and watch it in person. I told them to go ahead and dyno it if I would get it faster or I would be willing to drive down and watch it in person. I was then asked if early or later in the week would be better. I replied tell me when it will be on the dyno and I would be there that morning. They told me they would talk to lloyd in the morning (WEDNESDAY) and contact me. Well the rest of the week passed and in true T&L fashion I have not been contacted. I will call again on monday. (NOW 14 MONTHS & COUNTING)
Hate to say it, but contact a lawyer. You're past the time of getting an honest answer, without a lawyer behind you to light a fire under them. Whether or not they are jerking you around, you will continue to get the same answer until you show you're serious.Unfortunately, just from reading the magazines between the lines, there are companies who put their paying customers on the back burner, to do a product for a magazine or for a celebrity, when they know free advertising will be the result of getting the job done by publishing deadlines.I watch engine blocks get bored out on Horsepower TV w/out a torque plate in sight, and its like, "WTF?". But its probably quicker and cheaper to do it for the cameras if they just drop in at their own convenience.
Just because you can't do it...doesn't mean its impossible
I called last week to check status again, I knew Lloyd would be off after their big show over the weekend. I was told that lloyd would call me, he didn't. called back later in week, Lloyd was ther but he was in the back, he told Rob to tell me they were expecting the webbers in later that week or 1st of next, this is after I was told it was going on dyno before memeorial day? Called today, Lloyd wasn't coming in but Rob will ahve him call me for sure tomorrow. I ordered this engine in April of 2008, they have my money? did you decide to drop in on them? I have been consideering spending the money for a flight to drop in again? I went to the shop before I ordered engine. I see lots of people upset on websiotes but yet the ones who do get the engines for the most part are happy with them?
I've been satisfied with the 408 they built for the Laguna, but I'm really unhappy to hear about all the problems from their customers and our readers. When we were having our engine built, I had to call several times to move things along, but in my experience, that isn't unique to T&L. In fact, those kind of complaints are fairly common about engine builders in general. What's not common is folks not getting their engines (or their money back). I can't imagine that all this negative publicity hasn't already wrecked T&L's business. I'm reading about it everywhere.
I understand what 69postcar and jaulby are saying and going through i ordered a 408 Stroker off T & L engine Development 15 months ago and am still yet to receive it. I had trouble getting answers off them when I finally get hold of them have been feeding me the same lines for at least 9 months with no progress being made. They've told me that quote "it'll make steam on Friday" "It's going on the Dyno Wednesday" "just waiting on a part" They must have there excuses written out like a script because everyone i've spoken too who have had dealings with them like this say the same things. I'm in Australia therefore making it hard. I can't help but think I've been done out of my money. After paying final payment in January 2009 and no correspondence of them since Feb 09 and still no motor i requested a refund from them and now 5 months later still haven't heard from them no refund no nothing. I've found this company is dishonest, unprofessional, definately not reliable. I am endevouring to find a attorney there to assist me if anyone can help with a name and contact details of 1 it would be greatly appreciated or i will somehow get the funds to fly there and deal with this.
Hey johnny how long did it take for you to get the 408 for the laguna? Just wondering.
Can ANYONE give me the name and contact details of an attorney i can speak to in regards to T & L Engine Development who are in Stanfield, North Carolina PLEASE?????????? and this may help not only me but alot of others....
Hey, 60postcar, did you get to watch the dyno? did you get your engine yet? I was told make my plane tickets get down here and it wioll be on the dyno, well after making my palns I get a call that they need to push it back a couple of days. I really want this engine,, but it is rerally getting rediculous.
Nolo.com may be your first stop for links to finding a lawyer in that area of the map...in your public library there is a listing of law firms, rating them like moody's does stocks and companies. I can't remember the name of the catalog, but the librarian should be able to help....or maybe just yellowpages.com.
Just because you can't do it...doesn't mean its impossible
I too am getting the runaround from T and L Engines. I ordered my engine (408 sbc) in Sept of 08 and put a deposit down and was told it would be 8-10 weeks. I made a change to the induction about 4 weeks in and figured I'd give them an additional four weeks. I continued to get the runaround similar to what you all are hearing. Things like the fuel injection system was bad and finally they could not get the motor to run with the Holley Stealth. Lloyd agreed to refund my money in April I think and I have been getting the runaround ever since. I have spoken to Holly, his daughter, and thought I was getting somewhere, but it appears she is in on the game as well. I have been in contact with a local police detective who has been working on a lot of our issues with T and L. His name is Patrick Horsch and his info is: Patrick C. HorschDetective SergeantStanly County Sheriff's Office223 S. Second St.Albemarle, NC 28001Ph.#: (704)986-3857Fax#: (704)986-3733Email: firstname.lastname@example.com am going to fly out there and visit them soon I think to personally get my money. Craig
Hi Wilde70,I am also an Australian with an identical problem to yourself with T & L. Made deposit on a custom 383 build in january 09(US$4700)nothing to date. No photos, No evidence at all. I have contacted Better Business Bureau and filed a complaint, but it seems that T & L are in much more trouble than that as they don't seem to be answering the phones at all.My next step is to call the Sherriff/Police mentioned in this post for assistance. I personally think a unified front is what is called for and so if any other people happen to find this post by google as I did and are experiencing the same problem with T & L Engine Development please email me at email@example.com so we can all work together to brings these guys to justice.Many thanks to our American brothers for your help thus far with providing law enforcement contacts etc. The USA and Australia have long been allies in this great world of ours and is such a shame to see T & L go down this path...Thank you to the honest Americans in this forum, and please, if any more information or Media statements are made regarding this company, we would be forever greatful if you could post or email them.Thank youAussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Dick Violette of Warner, who couldn't spend a long Halloween night on his porch due to his health, gets some help giving away treats from his mannequin double, who holds the candy bowl. Joining them are, from left, Gabby, Sarah and Bennett Call. Violette wanted to continue his more than 70-year tradition of passing out candy to youngsters, so his family dressed the mannequin in his hat, clothes and shoes, and his son pasted an enlarged digital photo of his father's face under the hat. When weather forced Violette inside, he turned over candy distribution to his "associate." (COURTESY)

I'm currently blogging an A-Z list of vocab learning tips and so far have "A is for Active Recall" and "B is for Basic" (referring to focusing on word pairs first).
I've got candidates for most of the letters but curious to know what you think are the tips that make the biggest impact on your learners' vocabulary knowledge and skills. I'm sure I've missed some!

Are most Volt owners Democrats
I was a republican until yesterday. Now I'm just a pissed off veteran that feels completely abandoned by our career politicians. As far as I'm concerned, our forefathers would be shooting by now.
I owned a civic Gx for 9 years. It ran flawlessly for 293,000 miles. I sold it to my neighbor when I decided I wanted more creature comforts. With a 1,000 a week commute I wanted something easy on my wallet, that still could run solo in the HOV lane, I have solar panels on my roof so why not take advantage of those and most of all...no more range anxiety.
Needless to say, whatever good this car is doing for the environment, these two are nullifying its efforts.

Not meaning to throw cold water (all the time), the sentence above the one you quoted reads,
The company's technology is not aimed at capture — it would work with any existing carbon capture strategy. It's goal is to be logistically simple and low cost — a drop-in complement acquired on-site and used on-site, at a relatively low cost.
So, this company's technology is targeted at novel ways to use CO2, not to collect it. In my view, collecting CO2 so that it is useful for something is the big challenge.
It pains me to link huffpost but a good example nonetheless of previous successes. Especially for Reagan lovers.

Lakes Region endurance test
Ironman athlete pushes limits for Make-A-Wish
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | August 18. 2013 11:19PM
Athletes compete in the cycling leg of the Ironman 70.3 Timberman competition off of Ellacoya Beach in Gilford on Sunday. (DAN SEUFERT/Union Leader Correspondent)
"I had done a smattering of 5K and 10K races, and I started swimming, so a triathlon seemed like a perfect idea as I turned 41," she said.
"It was a matter of mind over matter, and I was thinking, there are lots of Make-A-Wish families who would love to see a finish line that they could reach to cure their loved ones, and I thought of my two girls, and I made it."
In its 13th year in Gilford, the Ironman 70.3 Timberman triathlon had 2,600 competitors. The triathlon was won by favorite Andy Potts of Colorado Springs, Colo., with a time of 3:53.
The women's winner was Melissa Hauschildt of Australia, with a time of 4:12:49. Concord's Amber Ferreira was the third woman to finish, coming in with a time of 4:26:54.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I went with the permacool universal spin-on filter. good for almost any fuel and 2-micron capacity. i will need that for all the junk that no doubt is in the tank. only problem is summit is on backorder and despite having waited 2 weeks already, I have two more to wait until they ship it out to me. frustrating, but what can I do.
the car will be able to run either sunoco 94, or E85. gasoline for the street, up to maybe 15PSI, and E85 for the track, which will boost to the limit of traction, maybe 20-25PSI. to get the computer to deal with the issue of needing more E85 that gasoline I plan on a combination of increasing fuel pressure and ajusting the fuel injector size in the computer, so they stay open longer.
the car is basically worthless for anything other than showboating, zooming around and spending money on, but thats OK, I need an excuse to escape to the garage on the weekend.
Slow GTA, thanks for posting your experience. You have raised my concern on the corrosion aspects of this fuel however. My tank is steel, steel feed line, AN fuel fittings, bare extruded aluminum fuel rail and Bosch injectors. I would basically have to redo the entire fuel system. I was really counting on E85 being much less corrosive than methanol, which I understood to be the really bad fuel for corrosion.
My Ford chassis has a flex fuel version, so worst case I could strip out the tank and fuel system and use as much as I could on my car.
I will check out that Mallory fuel filter, at what intervals do you service it and what do you find in it?
Big Mec, the turbo is mounted under the car and blows though an 80mm MAF sensor and a 65mm mustang TB. You correct identified the shaker hood scoop for the intercooler, I think that it looks good sticking out of the hood. That picture is a few months old and it looks different now. I looked that the photo album options of this website and it think its better just to post up the link to the album I already have. Nevermind the turbocharged jeep pictures in that album.
Here is the shared photo album:
the password is 123456
Ripple, Something you might want to see. After 3days of E85 testing it deteriorated an O-rang at my fuel rail and corroded the piss out of the aluminum AN fitting...The anodized parts held up better but the smallest scratch and they start to go to.
Also, I contacted Bosch about the ethanol compatibility of their injectors and they said that the EV6 types were ethanol compatible but that older injectors were designed to tolerate low levels for extended periods (15%) but the high levels in E85 would cause "a shortened service life" but that they intend to convert all of their current injectors "in the near future". Trying to pin him down on which and when was like trying to nail jello to a tree.
Delphi (Lucas) has sent out press releases stating all of their injectors are ethanol compatible but a press release is all the information I can get out of them. Nothing technical just PR..
|Lil Big Mec
|That's quite the intake setup you have there! I was trying to figure out how that intake could be pressurised with the "air filter" visible inside the scoop like that, but then I realised hat's the intercooler! I am assuming the turbo is blowing in the back side where we cant see it in the pic and it flows directly through the core and into the throttle bodies. Pretty cool! I would love to see more pics of it, you should set up a photo album.
I've been playing with E85 for two years now and it has potential for performance applications but there are some things that have to be considered on a swap:
First you said you ran a steel fuel line? Better change that to stainless steel or you will start having problems with rust particles contaminating the fuel system. They plug filters and hang injectors open and cause general hate and discontent. The gas tank is another problem area if it's steel. Ethanol is hygroscopic meaning it attracts water. This water causes serious corrosion of steel. Ethanol also has corrosive effects on bare aluminum which can destroy it and cause the same particle problem. Stainless steel, some plastics(Teflon), and certain anodized aluminum are needed for the fuel system. Most fuel filters for performance alcohol use are intended for race engines with strict fuel quality control and use stainless steel mesh elements that only filter down to 100 microns. At least 40 microns is needed to stop all of the particles that can cause fuel system trouble. 5 or 10 microns would be better but I haven't found a high pressure, alcohol safe filter that filters that low yet. The best filter I've found is the Mallory 3181. It's a 40 micron alcohol compatible in-line filter for high pressure fuel injection that flows up to 500GPH.
Second it takes approximately 30% more fuel with E85 to make the same power as gasoline. You have to alter your fuel delivery accordingly. This also means that at the same power level your fuel tank will go empty way faster. This isn't a problem for some applications but can be for endurance racing where you don't have anymore room for fuel.
Third is that alcohol runs considerably cooler than gasoline and therefore needs more compression to make the same power as gasoline in a given engine. I'm not saying that an engine built to run on gas can't run ethanol, just that it won't make as much power as it could if it had more compression (or boost). The burn rates also require a complete ignition re-map to get power back up.
This barely scratches the surface of E85 for a performance engine, and I'm still learning as I go but I hope this helps..I think forced induction fuel injected engines would be a great place for this fuel to really make some power! I look forward to hearing your project shapes up.
Good luck!
E85 compatible fuel filter, with fuel injection
I am working on switching over my Turbo, fuel injected, Ford to E85. I run Sunoco 94 right now with no-pinging up to 16 PSI on the stock engine, but I want more boost and want to be proactive with detonation safety. I have NO experience with alcohol so this is all new to me!!
So far I have the big fuel pump, fat 3/8" steel fuel feed line, computer tuner and huge 42lb/hr injectors.
I am looking for a recommendation on a good fuel filter that can handle alcohol (and if it matters) and up to 90PSI of fuel pressure.
I saw that universal fram filter in Jegs, and it say it can handle the pressure I need, I assume it's OK for alcohol being a racing part, does anyone see a problem with that? Any ideas?
just some background on the car, when it was all stock but with the turbo it made about 300WHP on 11PSI boost, since then I upped the boost to 16PSI, made a aluminum tunnel ram intake and increased the intercooler pipe size from 2" to 2.5", all to reduce restriction. it a pretty radical engine setup.

Justin Bannan 9/24/06
OK, a little setup here...I posted on YBR about the wisdom the Ravens have shown in making talent evaluations on players at an early enough point that they could both:
1: Harvest value from their first 5 years
2: Determine if those players would be valuable franchise cornerstones thereafter
See "Franchise Management" if you like.
In one of the great off-topic discussions of all time, the post degenerated into a debate about the value of Justin Bannan. I proposed we could all watch a game that was representative of his season statistically, and each post our subjective comments. Based on the yardage differential with and withut him in, the 9/24 Cleveland game and the 10/9 Denver game were both fairly representative. Someone else said they had the Cleveland game recorded, so I watched that one.
BTW, I'm not putting down the discussion in any way...it's where the really fun arguments originate. I'm posting my analysis here with a plea that we could have a "player of the week" analysis this fall where we each watch the plays for a single player and submit our play-by-play thoughts to a single thread.
Anyway, you're caught up now. Let me know what you think of the POTW idea.
Justin Bannan 9/24/06
I rewatched the Cleveland game, and very oddly, I had not correctly tagged a play where not only was Bannan in the game, but he made a nice tackle (see below). Occasionally, the camera will zoom in tightly on the QB's helmet or come back from a graphic after the ball is snapped. It's usually not difficult to figure out the defensive players, but Justin got lost in a crowd, and his number was never really visible. I watched the rest of the game to make sure there was not another instance, but this was it. Anyway, I've corrected the error and added it to the spreadsheet. The game totals for Bannan were thus 5.8 YPPA on 12 plays.
Here are the 12 plays as I saw them:
Q1 1/10 Clv 14 0:27
Lined up at RDE. He was double teamed in the midst of a 5-man rush which got no pressure. Pass went L and complete to Winslow for 11 yards.
Q2 1/10 Clv 13 15:00
After Winslow's taunting penalty set the Browns back, Bannan lined up at LDE. He was Singled up on the RT (Tucker), but got no pressure (nor did the rest of the 4-man rush). The pass was complete R to Edwards who danced along the sidelines for 12 yards.
Q2 1/10 Clv 25 14:34
Lined up at RDE and was undercut to his knees by LT Shaffer. Bannan's knees fell on the back of Shaffer, and he got up and pursued to the pile, which was a run middle for 3 yards.
Q2 2/7 Clv 28 13:58
Lined up at RDE. The 5-man rush got no real pressure as Bannan was chipped from LG to LT. The pass-off created a nice throwing lane for Frye to complete to Northcutt who raced upfield for 27 yards.
Q2 1/10 Clv 26 3:41
Lined up at LDE. In Bannan's best play of the game, he worked off the block from RG and slipped into the hole to take down Wright for a 1-yard gain. Very nice play.
Q2 2/9 Clv 27 2:59
LDE. 5-man rush failed to get to Frye, and Bannan was easily handled MTM by the RT. The pass was complete for 8 yards to Edwards.
Q2 3/1 Clv 35 2:35
LDT. This was the wierd play where for "production quality" the CBS crew felt a tight zoom on Frye's helmet would provide the perfect establishing shot. I missed Bannan originally, but have corrected as I mentioned above. He made a nice play while being blocked by the FB and the RG (I think, might have been RT), he reached out and tripped up Wright for a 2-yard gain. Enough for the 1st down, unfortunately, but a nice play for Justin.
Q2 1/Goal Bal 1 0:29
Following McAlister's end zone PI, lined up directy over center in a jumbo set that included Ngata, Gregg, and Franklin as well. Bannan submarined and was pinned to the ground by the center as Frye dropped back to pass, then ran the draw straight past the prostrate Bannan for the TD.
Q4 1/10 Clv 20 14:56
LDE. 5-man rush got good pressure on Frye, who threw incomplete short right intended for Edwards. Bannan was handled easily, but absorbed a double-team from RG, RT.
Q4 2/10 Clv 20 14:53
RDT. Bannan was single teamed and pancaked by the LT. However, pressure on the defensive left side was good and Suggs hurried Frye to an incomplete.
Q4 1/10 Bal 34 7:42
RDT. Wright ran off LG. Bannan slipped part way off a block from LT and stuck his hand out, slowing down Wright. Lewis and Gregg made the tackle after a gain of 3.
Q4 2/7 Bal 31 7:01
LDT. Bannan was doubled by RT and RG. Thomas and Scott lined up left of Bannan and benefited from that double, flushing Frye out of the pocket and forcing an incomplete.
The good: Bannan showed versatility, lining up all along the defensive front, and always with a hand in the dirt. He played hard, and did not give up on any play. He played the run very well, as the stats would have indicated (5 Browns rushes for 10 yards with him in, 19 for 38 overall). He contributed 2 nice tackles personally, and this was his best game of the year for YPC (he was under 3 several other times, most notably 2.9 YPC on 19 SD rushes). The game lacked the single turnover or tackle for a loss required to be rated a 10, and I'd mark him down for being blocked to the ground twice on those 5 plays, but I'd say he rated a solid 8 vs. the run for this game.
The bad: Bannan was blocked to his knees or the ground on 3 plays among the 12 defensive snaps. He was wholly ineffective in his personal pass rush, with contributions limited to absorbing doubles. He had no decent push, and he made no attempt to get his arms up and deflect a pass. To set the stage a little better, the Ravens decimated the Browns for 7 sacks on just 27 pass plays without Bannan in and went 0 for 7 with him in. On the 7 plays with Bannan in, the Ravens rushed 5 men 5 separate times. The Browns had 58 yards on 7 plays (8.3 YPP) with him in, and 198 yards on 33 plays without him (6.0). I'd rate his performance vs. the pass just a 2.5, giving him credit for the team pressure on doubles he took in the 4th quarter.
Overall: You can't help but like the effort watching him again. I found myself rooting (note to self: don't waste effort rooting for old video) for him to do well the same way I'd root for any hard-working guy to succeed, but the results were what they were. He personally played the run very well, but the Ravens stopped the run very effectively both with him in and with him out, and they suffered with him on the pass rush.
This was a lot of fun, and I'm sure no one is going to change their mind based on my analysis here, particularly from a game with such mixed results. I would suggest this season maybe we could do a "player of the week" breakdown. To me, it's much more fun to do for players with 10-35 plays than the every-down stars.

Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
Not that I'm complaining. I really liked what i saw from Bannan last season (as a rotational lineman) & would love to see him stick around a few more years.
Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
I was gonna upload all the plays in which Bannan was in (against Tampa), but i got lazy. Maybe I'll do it later today.
Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
The team was supposedly very happy with his play, so who am I to argue? :D

Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
Uploading the Tampa game is a great. I'll post the times of the plays he was in, but I have 2 things to say about it:
1. Statistically, Bannan had 2.9 YPPA while the team had 2.8, so he played at the same level as the team, something that was not representative of the season as a whole (Bannan 5.5, Team 4.5). That being said, we're doing this to see how people break down the action, not to prove a specific point about Bannan.
2. I personally want PBP analysis, not simply a general impression of what you saw (although that's cool if supported by good PBP analysis). He was only in for 16 defensive plays vs. Tampa, so that's not a huge assignment. It takes me about 45 minutes to both analyze the plays and take notes, then another 20 minutes to type it up.

Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
Nice work Film....I really enjoy this stuff.
It might be interesting instead to compare Bannan's numbers to who 1) who he replaced and 2) who replaced him.
That will be an interesting indicator in terms of depth or some minor-supposed indicator of overall impact on the defense the change of a player might have.
Definitely interested in seeing a lot more...I really wish I had the time to do what you're doing. Really great stuff.
Thanks again for running through these stats

Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
Hey ExiledRaven, explain to me a little better what it is you'd like checked. You were asking who he replaced and who replaced him? That's sort of the whole comparison. Bannan has the aggregate stats for his defensive plays, and I have the stats for each other heavy, both for each game and the season.
Anyway, let me know what you're looking for and I may well have it.
Re: Justin Bannan 9/24/06
"Justin Bannan is a short timer here, the new rookie class is full of potential!"
Anyone with any sort of intellect, would think that says: Justin isn't going to be around long, because our new rookie class has a ton of potential & will push him out of a job. So, yes, you didn't make your point very clear at all.
Furthermore, I taped every Raven's game (that we won). And I have re-watched them (unfortunately, I don't have the hours in my day, to break down & take notes on every single play). Either way, I still believe that Bannan is easily the 3rd best DT on our team & there is ZERO chance that he gets cut this year. He still has 3 years left on his contract, and he'll probably be around for atleast 2 of those.

Lawmakers moved Tuesday toward capping how many non-carpoolers may use freeway express lanes, creating a new "In God We Trust" license plate and allowing drivers at some unusual new interchanges to turn either right or left on red lights.
The House Transportation Committee voted 6-3 to endorse HB23, which would allow the state to cap how many hybrid and other clean-fuel vehicles with solo drivers may use carpool lanes. Currently, owners of such vehicles may apply for decals to allow them to use those lanes anytime without paying tolls, even if the cars contain only the driver. However, Utah Department of Transportation officials say such cars are becoming so popular that they could eventually swamp the express lanes, so they want the ability to cap numbers if needed.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Steve Handy, R-Layton, noted that the state would face federal sanctions if the average speed in express lanes ever falls below 45 miles per hour, which UDOT worries could happen if too many clean-fuel cars are allowed there.
The committee also voted 9-1 to endorse HB34 to allow creation of an "In God We Trust" license plate.
The idea for the plates comes from 11-year-old Tate Christensen of Salt Lake City. He has collected license plates from all 50 states, and did research showing that 12 other states offer specialty plates with the "In God We Trust" motto but not Utah.
The plates would be available for an extra $25 fee. Proceeds of that extra fee would go to groups that hold July 4 celebrations, with at least 20 events, that honor family and god. Some lawmakers previously complained that only America's Freedom Festival in Provo would likely qualify for the funds.
The committee also voted unanimously to endorse HB272 to allow some drivers at new "diverging diamond" freeway interchanges to turn right or left on red lights, if the traffic is clear. The unique design of those interchanges has some drivers at traffic signals finding one-way traffic both to their right and left.
Their unusual design eliminates left-turn signals by having traffic that would normally travel on the right-hand side of the road cross temporarily over to the left as it passes over or under another highway, and then it crosses back. From above, the traffic design looks like a helix.
Laws currently clearly allow turning right on a red light. The bill would also allow turning left into one-way traffic at such intersections, if signage there allows it. UDOT officials say that may especially help current backing at a "diverging diamond" interchange at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi.
All the bills now go to the full House for consideration.
