Sent Rock & Roll reeling & tumbling! 1976!
Sent Rock & Roll reeling & tumbling! 1976!
Naw, the Pistols had it all over the Clash at that time, although the Clash has 'higher honor roll' classification. I saw the Clash in about 1980 in SF in some big hall and it was just a joke. Walked out...too over crowded and bad sound. But then those were the days of going from show to show and lookin' for chicks!
Ok, I'll bite:
Dizzy Miss Lizzy, as sung by John Lennon with the Beatles, from the Help soundtrack....with the awesome 12 string Rickenbacker lead from George....
although they get kudos for the live Hollywood Bowl version, since there is no way they could hear themselves there....
great list..cant wait to see part 2 you belong in SoCal
did you miss ?
LOVE - 7 and 7 is ?
TEMPTATIONS - papa was a rolling stone
RARE EARTH - Get Ready , I'm losing you
BAD COMPANY/FREE most anything
early FleetwoodMac or THE ANIMALs
SANTANA,RAY CHARLES etc..etc
the list can go a long while
(yeah, the line 'tween the 60's & 70's blur a bit)
Throw a blanket over your microwave oven, so it can't spy on you anymore.
I've done this list in one take, so I missed something along the way. Yeah, I like Californian music from 60's very much, especially L.A. garage/surf scene.
Thank you for remind me of some fine groups like Love, one of my L.A. fovourites along with The Standells & The Byrds wich I missed to add.
More cool stuff at follow-up, so stay tuned
Arthur Lee & LOVE ....wow , fantastically good stuff ..."My Little Red Book" , "Hey Joe" .etc.
(I once put together a CD of 17 different "Hey Joe's" ..all different artists) ...Deep Purple had a great cover of it.
My son saw The Standells here in Portland , 2 years ago ..said it was a fine show ,
Byrds ?? I went to HS with McGuinn , tho didnt know him

I know, it has nothing at all to do with the topic, but your last post reminded me of this:
Standels were the first guitar amplifiers that used JBL, (Lansing) speakers. These speakers were much costlier and much heavier than the cheaper and less efficient Jensens that Fender and Gibson were using, but were already standard in super hi-fidelity phonograph systems by the time that Bob Crooks put one in an amp in 1953. "It made all the difference in the world," is what Bob told me, "when I first heard that amp with that speaker in it, I said, That's the sound." Seven years later, after experimenting with almost every other kind of speaker, Fender finally relented and started putting JBL's in their top-of-the-line amplifiers too. Today, almost every brand of amplifier can be ordered with JBL's!!
". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."Greg Timbers
well..this IS LHF ....the free association/thought audio blog/forum
The Standells
The Standells are a garage rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in the 1960s, who have been referred to as the "Godfathers of Punk Rock",[1] and are best known for their 1966 hit "Dirty Water," now the anthem of several Boston sports teams.

- Why Pick On Me Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White 1966

The collection in which "It's a Woman's World" appears, Night Feed, stirred some controversy upon its publication in 1982. Along with Boland's In Her Own Image, Night Feed marked a departure from her first collection by focusing on the role of women in Irish literature and society. Some early critics dismissed Boland's poetry as "woman's writing," or unimportant in subject matter, while other critics lauded Boland's woman-centered, feminist perspective, as well as her technical agility.
Many of the poems in Night Feed were republished in Boland's collection Outside History, along with poems from her 1983 collection The Journey and newer poems. With Outside History, Boland gained wide recognition in the United States for her poetry, which bolstered her reputation in Ireland. Published in 1990, Outside History was praised for its craft and its ennoblement of previously overlooked subjects. Writing in the Women's Review of Books, Jody Allen-Randolph notes, "By...

About all anyone is talking about is Saturday's Warrior Dash. Seems "most" comments are on the positive side... with transportation being the biggest gripe!
And yes, lines and waiting times for a ride were long. But, a major accident closed the shuttle route for well over an hour and the delay messed up what was a relatively smooth operation. Due to the backup/wait, several "warriors" decided to walk from the event venue back to their vehicles at the fairgrounds.

I'll close out 2009 with an update on the goals I set at the beginning of this year and things that I've accomplished. Call it a bit of shameless self promotion, but this is my blog after all. :-)
- Learn…
- Powershell. Although I dropped using the command prompt in favor of a Powershell prompt, I really haven't done anything significant with Powershell this year. I fell short on this one for sure.
- More about DMVs. I've written several DMV queries that have become part of my toolbelt and gave a presentation about DMVs at SQL Saturday Orlando in October. I met this goal, but there's plenty more for me to learn.
- SQL 2008. I've deployed a handful of SQL 2008 instances to my company's production environment and picked up plenty of tidbits here and there from blogs, articles, etc.. I'd say I met this goal.
- Analysis Services. I took an online class with Brian Knight in the fall and have dabbled a little bit with SSAS, but I wouldn't say I've done anything significant enough to consider this goal met.
- Be a better mentor. Gave presentations at OPASS and Space Coast SQL User Group, Orlando Code Camp, SQL Saturday Atlanta, Jacksonville, Orlando, and South Florida, and presented at the 2009 PASS Summit. Also published an article on SQLServerCentral.com. Looking closer to home at my coworkers, I'd like to think that those around me learned from me (though they're better suited to say if that's the case or not). I'll call this goal met.
- Publish twice a week. I published 64 blog posts this year (65 including this one). That's a tad short of the 104 I was shooting for. I guess you could say I went for quality over quantity. I'll call this one halfway met.
- Go to the 2009 PASS Summit. Check! I went to the Summit this year as a speaker and had a fantastic experience.
- Run a half-marathon. I failed miserably on this one. I ran a 5K in the spring but stopped running over the summer. However, my 8 year old son has expressed an interest in running so we've started running together. Even if I fell short on this one I still come out ahead because any exercise I've done is better than no exercise.
Final count – 4.5 out of 8. Not bad but always room for improvement.
I hope that you had a great 2009 and look forward to an even better year in 2010!

Duquesne Announces 2013 Men's Basketball Signees
May 29, 2012
Quevyn Winters video PITTSBURGH - First-year Duquesne University head men's basketball coach Jim Ferry announced the signing of four players to National Letters of Intent today. Freshman swingman Quevyn Winters (Milwaukee, Wis./M.A.C.K. Prep) along with freshmen guards Derrick Colter (Largo, Md./Largo) and Jeremiah Jones (Gary, Ind./St. John's Northwestern Military Academy) and sophomore junior college transfer guard Marvin Binney (Toronto, Ontario/New Mexico Junior College) complete the first group signed by Ferry who was hired on April 12. In addition, Ferry announced that 6-8, 220-pound forward Ovie Soko (London, England/Bethel HS/UAB) has signed a financial aid agreement and will be part of the men's basketball program this fall. Soko, who played in 30 of 31 games with 24 starts for the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2011-12, will sit out the 2012-13 season due to NCAA transfer rules. He will have one year of eligibility at Duquesne. "I'm extremely excited about our first recruiting class," said Ferry. "We were able to address some needs with quality kids from great families who have all competed in highly successful basketball programs. "This group brings a good mix of talent, experience and maturity that should impact and benefit our program as we move forward." Winters, a 6-5 swingman, attended Milwaukee Washington High School where he was all-city in earning honorable mention all-state (AP) honors after averaging 19.3 points per game as a junior. He continued his playing career at Oldsmar Christian School near Tampa, Fla. in 2010-11 where he was named Independent League all-state by the Florida Association of Basketball Coaches after leading Oldsmar to the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association state tournament championship game. Winters attended M.A.C.K. Prep in Charlotte, N.C. this past season where he averaged 22.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists for a 30-13 team.
"Quevyn is a great shooter, ball-handler and passer who can run the court," said Ferry. "His combination of size and scoring ability will present matchup problems on the wing." Colter led the Prince George's 3A/2A/1A league in scoring at 22.5 ppg. from the point guard spot in helping 22-5 Largo reach the Class 2A state championship game. A second team All-Met pick by the Washington Post, the 5-10 Colter averaged 26.2 ppg. in five state playoff games. "I really like Derrick's competitiveness and toughness," said Ferry. "He played in an outstanding program at Largo. He has the kind of speed and quickness that will help us play the way we want to play." Jones, a shooting guard, averaged 17.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game as a 17-year-old senior at Class 4A Merrillville (Ind.) High School before spending a post-graduate year at St. John's Northwestern Military Academy in Delafield, Wis. At SJNMA Jones averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. The 6-3, 205-pounder, who was rated as the No. 7 guard in the state by the Indianapolis Star in 2011, skipped the first grade. He was rated as a three-star recruit by rivals.com. "Jeremiah is a versatile guard who has a great knack for putting the ball in the basket," said Ferry. "He shoots it very well from the perimeter and also has the ability to get to the rim. In high school he played for - and competed against - some of the top programs in the state of Indiana. His post-graduate season allowed him to mature physically while playing against some top programs." Binney, a point guard who will have three seasons of eligibility remaining, averaged 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists as a redshirt freshman for 23-9 New Mexico Junior College in 2012. As one of two players to start all 32 games for the Thunderbirds, the Toronto native led the team in assists (94) and steals (41). He was named the team's Best Defensive Player and was the recipient of the Most Inspirational/T-Bird Award at NMJC's postseason awards banquet. The 6-2 Binney was rated as the No. 5 point guard in the Canadian class of 2009 by Hoop Stars Canada after leading AAAA Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championship. "I look for Marvin to help solidify the point guard position," said Ferry. "He is a very good on-the-ball defender who brings a nice combination of experience, maturity and strength to an area where we need immediate help. Marvin has played for highly successful programs both in Canada and in junior college which should help in his transition to the Atlantic 10." Soko played 88 games with 59 starts in three seasons at UAB. A two-year starter, Soko posted eight of his 11 career double-doubles last season when he averaged 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. The London native was named to the 21-man Great Britain Senior Men Preliminary Roster where will compete for a spot on the Olympic team alongside former Duquesne player Kieron Achara. Soko was also named to the Great Britain Futures team. "Ovie is another player with the versatility to play all over the floor," said Ferry. "He is a proven Conference USA player with outstanding athletic ability. His combination of Division I and international experience will give us a real boost in 2013-14." DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL 2012-13 RECRUITING CLASS * - Ovie Soko will sit out the 2012-13 season following his transfer from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and will have one season of eligibility remaining |

Recently I read an article entitled, "Taking the Sting Out of Injections" (Momentum, The Magazine of The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Spring 2013, page 40) and I was reminded of the long road I've traveled before and after the availability of disease-modifying medications.
In 1987 my first neurologist told me to go home and rest after my initial MS diagnosis. It wasn't until 1993 that the first disease-modifying agent was FDA approved. The day of its approval was the day I began my long injection journey, beginning with Betaseron.
My journey continued after a series of side affects forced me to jump ship and hop aboard the second approved medication: Avonex. Finally, in 1996 I found the injectable that worked best for me: Copaxone.
Today there are eight FDA approved disease-modifying agents. Six of these are injectables.
When I was young, I never dreamed I'd be expected to shove a needle filled with medication into my body, for an illness I never heard about. But, as they say, into each life a little rain must fall. Who knew there'd be a downpour!
I admittedly get needle fatigue. Some spots are more bothersome than others. I grow tired of dealing with the pain and stinging that plague me after each shot. I sigh every time I go on a trip and need to remember to pack my medicine. I hate injecting in hotel rooms. I just do.
I constantly remind myself that every time I inject this foreign liquid into my body, I am taking care of myself while silently yelling, "MS go away!" I know how blessed I am of the approval of MS medications, and of the many choices available today. I am happy for the newly diagnosed who never have to live in the dark ages of MS.
My secret to staying on course? I visualize the medicine pulsing through my body, making me a healthier person as it screams at the myelin to stop this nonsense and repair itself. Not exactly a scientific approach, but it works for me.
So here's my Question of the Week: How are you doing with your injections? What do you do to stay on course, or have you decided not to stay on course? Please share your stories so we can learn from each other.
Be well, and I look forward to hearing from you.

TONY EASTLEY: The political crisis in Egypt is deepening, with supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi pelting each other with rocks outside the Presidential place in Cairo.
President Morsi has returned to work at the compound despite the protests outside.
His opponents are demonstrating against his powers and a draft constitution which they say is biased.
From Washington, Kim Landers reports.
(The sound of protesters)
KIM LANDERS: The latest clashes began when thousands of president Mohammed Morsi's supporters descended on the palace, where hundreds of his opponents were staging a sit-in.
(Sound of sirens)
Stones and petrol bombs flew as the president's supporters chased the protestors away from the main gate and tore down their tents.
(Protester speaking Arabic)
This protestor says Mohammed Morsi hasn't kept any of the promises made in his first 100 days and is now going from a president to a dictator.
(The sound of protesters)
The protests began after President Morsi issued a decree that expanded his powers.
And he's fuelled opposition anger by racing through approval of a draft constitution drawn up by an Islamist-led assembly.
Amr Mussa is one of the opposition leaders.
AMR MOUSSA: The country is now divided and we've landed into violence. We hold the sitting regime responsible. We are here standing before you one hand, one voice defending Egypt and its revolution. We are all for democracy and not for imposing a status quo, dividing the people or dictating a disputed constitution. The draft constitution articles are flawed and unacceptable.
KIM LANDERS: The opposition says it's ready to talk if the president scraps the decree giving himself enormous powers.
Speaking at the NATO headquarters in Brussels, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the unrest shows the need for dialogue.
HILLARY CLINTON: So we call on all stakeholders in Egypt to settle their differences through democratic dialogue and we call on Egypt's leaders to ensure that the outcome protects the democratic promise of the revolution for all of Egypt's citizens.
And Mohamed Youssef, one of the protestors outside the palace in Cairo, says the country needs stability and that rational, civilized people should sit down together to do what's good for the country.
Meanwhile three more members of President Morsi's staff have resigned over the crisis.
This is Kim Landers in Washington for AM.

Military Jets Wait Out Hurricane At Wright-Patterson
Military officials say dozens of jets were moved from a base in North Carolina to one in southwest Ohio to ensure they wouldn't be damaged by high winds during Hurricane Arthur.
WDTN-TV in Dayton reports more than 50 F-15E Strike Eagles and four KC-135R Stratotankers were repositioned from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base before the storm arrived on the East Coast this week. Officials said it was simply a precaution.
Hurricane Arthur began moving offshore and away from North Carolina's Outer Banks early Friday after hitting the state's barrier islands overnight. It had strengthened to a Category 2 storm with winds of 100 mph Thursday night but weakened Friday.

May 12, 2014 at 8:56 pm #1316762
Here is my gear list for a recent hike.
Duration: 3 days 2 nights.
Altitude: 12,000 to 15,000 feet.
Temps: 50 to 30F.
Climate: Dry conditions expected… but rained almost all day/night.My experience with this gear (as well as the actual hike) was very satisfying, thus I'm planning to use a very similar configuration on an upcoming hike in about 5 months.
Duration: 5 days 4 nights.
Altitude: 8,000 to 15,700 feet.
Temps: 65 to 20F.
Climate: Dry conditions… (hopefully).I know there are a lot of people here with far more experience than me, so what would be your advice? What could I improve?
May 15, 2014 at 11:41 am #2102643going to encounter bugs on this trip? might include a nettent to your shelter, and a headnet
With the warmer temps, do you need the baselayers and sleep socks? edit- misread the temp low… how high of the 15k will you be camping at?
I'd ditch the rain pants as well.
May 15, 2014 at 6:00 pm #2102725Everybody will nitpick something, so here's mine.
Button compass, wouldn't rely on electronics.
One tablet treats 1 liter? Water bottles are 20oz?
Backup fire, LMF Jr, sparker, minibic, something, anything.
Fleece or wool hat for quilt sleeping.
I guess you're a no-TP guy, or is that considered first-aid?I might keep the rain pants. 20 degrees in Silver Ridge pants seems pretty cold, even with thermals on, especially if it's windy at altitude. But I get cold easy, so YMMV.
May 15, 2014 at 6:11 pm #2102732Hi Ozzy! Thanks for your advice :-)
I'll always bring bug protection if needed. Thing is, I know these mountains and they are not particulary buggy above tree line where I camp. There's a lot of cold wind that keeps them away, so that's why I decided to skip that.
Regarding rain gear… well to be honest I have never used my rain pants while hiking. I do like to get wet and my hiking pants dry quickly. It's just the psychological fear of being wet on a cold and windy night what keeps me adding that ounces to my pack. Also, I have put them at camp when it's very cold and windy, my hiking pants don't block the wind very well. I'll think about it, maybe there's another way.
I don't use the baselayers of my list while hiking. And maybe I can go without them inside my sleeping bag. However, around camp I'm not very active and tend to feel cold when temps go bellow 30F, worst if it's windy. That baselayer allows me to feel more confortable. Also, I think I might need them during daytime when we reach our goal (see below). Any suggestions?
Finally, you asked about our camp's altitude,
Camp 1: 9,800 ft
Camp 2: 13,800 ft
Camp 3: same as camp2
Camp 4: 15,000 ft
Camp 5: 13,800 ftHighest elevation expected: 16,207 ft. Our goal is this peak (no technical climb required, tough hike though, we'll go through a glacier).
And before anyone mentions crampons and axes … yes, that will be provided by our guides. I do not own that kind of gear, maybe in the future if I start doing more high mountain stuff. I live on a tropical country, to find some ice and snow, you must be really at high altitudes.
May 15, 2014 at 6:38 pm #2102743Hi Glenn, thanks for replying,
"Button compass, wouldn't rely on electronics."
On my previous trip, I knew the trail. On my new one for this year, I'll be guided. But then… what if our guide have a problem? Seems like a fair advice."One tablet treats 1 liter? Water bottles are 20oz?"
I was thinking to go more ultralight with this one (I own a 1L nalgene), but you are right, tablets are for 1L. Maybe just a 1L plastic bottle or a platypus?"Backup fire, LMF Jr, sparker, minibus, something, anything."
Ok! I'll update my list."Fleece or wool hat for quilt sleeping."
My jacket has a down hood. I feel ok with that. However this trip is going even higher, so I might need a balaclava on our highest camp zone."I guess you're a no-TP guy, or is that considered first-aid?"
Yes of course I bring some, haha! I just forgot."I might keep the rain pants. 20 degrees in Silver Ridge pants seems pretty cold, even with thermals on, especially if it's windy at altitude."
Totally agree, I have used them more to block wind while stationary at camp than for blocking rain while hiking.May 15, 2014 at 6:59 pm #2102754If you like all your gear and don't have any problems with anything you should be good to go. One exception… Are you sure you will be comfortable in that quilt at 20F. Is there a chance it will get colder than that?
May 15, 2014 at 9:08 pm #2102786Hi Nick, thanks for your reply,
Yes I have experienced that quilt in about 25F. However I wasn't exactly naked, I used: baselayer (top & bottoms), wool socks, trekking pants, rain pants, down hooded jacket and gloves, over a 2.8 R-value CCF sleeping pad. Having said that… yes, I slept like a baby.
I've been on that mountains, but I don't leave there, also it will be my first time on this particular trail. So I asked the local guides, and they told me that I should be fine using a good quality insulated jacked with a 0 degree (celsius) sleeping bag. So I think (hope) I'm gonna survive…
I've been thinking on a couple of improvements regarding my quilt:
1) Add a light balaclava (which I already own) to improve the warmth of my hooded jacket and prevent an extremely cold nose.
2) Take my XTherm (14 oz) instead of my SOLite S (9 oz). That would be some added warmth on my back (where the quilt opens), a full length pad and some extra comfort for just 5 ounces. Thing is… there is some crazy sharp grass that grows there which might puncture an inflatable. Of course, that could be fixed with smart camp selection and maybe a better (heavier) tyvek ground sheet.
May 16, 2014 at 7:02 am #2102834+1 on the balaclava or hat. I realize that the current wisdom is that heat loss through the head has been greatly exaggerated over the years but I'd still bring one.
+1 on the button compass. I see that you have the ProTrek so maybe a Suunto clip compass as a backup. Much of it has to do on the level of precision you'd require but if you're not hiking in the trees, are on well-defined trails, have a good map, are proficient at identifying prominent terrain features, and are skilled at staying found, Suunto clip is perfectly fine. It'd be nice to have that to shoot a back-azimuth with if you're peak bagging and lose visibility.
I don't use rain pants but can see why you would in those conditions (above the tree line/sideways rain)
May 16, 2014 at 9:08 am #2102875I'd consider bringing both pads, or a thin (1/8") ccf for under your xtherm.
Yeah, maybe keep the rain pants for double rain duty.
May 16, 2014 at 12:38 pm #2102976you certainly have everything covered, barely. No margin for error or disaster. My pack would be a bit heavier than yours, because I would have:
a wool hat to cover the ears, for sleeping if nothing else.
rain pants for sure
pack cover
more than one pair of socks
compass with mirror (I didn't see yours listed)
nylon long sleeve shirt
heavier duty down coat (mine is more like the MH Kelvinator)
heavier duty gloves
first aid kit
small repair kit
more than one way to start a fire, plus a fire kit with tinder and accelerants
sleeping pad with 3" between me and the ground (NeoAir)
down sleeping bag (WM Megalite), doesn't weigh much more than your quilt)For ultralight, you definitely have me beat.
When I think of 15,000 feet, I think of severe weather, snow in summer, rain anytime, possible mishaps on rock and snow. Maybe where you are going is a bit less risky than mountaineering in the western U.S.May 17, 2014 at 9:59 am #2103339The pic in my avatar is from the Parque Nacional El Cocuy in Colombia at about 14k feet. Our highest pass was about 16k if I'm not mistaken. During the day, temps were in the 60s (cloudy) to 70s (sunny), and night time just below freezing. So in my experience high altitude trekking and camping in the Andes is very different than mountaineering in the upper or lower latitudes. Much less extreme conditions. Storms can move through though and bring high winds and visibility can be dangerously low. Regarding bugs I don't remember seeing any really, just a few flies that really liked the bright blue color of my baseball cap. Maybe saw one mosquito and nothing at night. Bug protection above 9k is not really necessary in my experience. Sun/ UV protection is very important though. This description I think would be relevant to any travel in the tropical Andes (ie. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, northern Peru)
May 24, 2014 at 11:05 am #2105652Thanks Ian, agreed.
Ozzy I don't feel ok bringing two pads, seems like and overkill to me. I won't be sleeping on ice. I think I'll just take my xtherm.
Bob, I know I'm being lazy with my med&repair kits, thanks for pointing it out. I've been ok in previous hikes just because anything went wrong… I'll also add some backup method to start fire.
Based on other comments, I'll be adding a balaclava, compass and air pad. I always bring rain pants when it's cold. I do have more than one pair of socks and sleeping thermal tops&bottoms. Maybe better gloves would be an improvement.
I don't use pack cover, my pack makes a good job keeping rain out + I use cuben fiber stuff sacks (roll top mode for sleeping bag and cloth). I've went through a lot of rain (like 4 continous hours with some snow) and everything was perfectly dry.
I think my sleeping bag + down hooded jacket (+ sleep cloth) will do fine based on previous experinces, as pointed by William weather in tropical contries is a bit more kind.
Finally William, yes, I agree with you. However it's wise to be prepared for an unexpected storm with some hail or snow.

The Nets continue to pursue Carmelo Anthony with a quiet confidence that they will be able to convince Anthony to sign a long-term contract extension with the team once the structure of a trade is agreed upon with Denver.
A new scenario brings in the Pistons and could land Rip Hamilton and Chauncey Billups in New Jersey with Anthony, though the latest form of the deal does not meet Detroit's approval.
The Nuggets have been negotiating almost exclusively with the Nets for weeks.
New Jersey apparently will remain in the hunt for Anthony until the superstar forward tells the Nets directly that he is not willing to sign a contract extension with the team.

Dafydd's interest in photography started properly with the purchase of a film SLR in 1999 after the theft of his
point & shoot at Glastonbury Festival. Previously - he'd had a good eye for striking images but not much in the way
of talent for classical art: drawing or painting. Coming from a scientific and technological background photography
instantly struck a chord joining his technological side with that of artistic appreciation.
His interest in photography grew steadily over the years mainly concentrating in architecture and landscape
photography moving on from colour film to colour transparencies - primarily Fujichrom Velvia.
The interest, still at a hobby level, accelerating somewhat with the purchase of a digital compact in 2002.
The ease of digital lent itself very well to photography in nightclubs - a very colourful and passionate environment
Dafydd very much enjoyed at the time.
The definiative moment in his photography was in 2004 with the purchase of his first Digital SLR (Nikon D70).
Being one of the first non-pro's to have such a camera in the London clubbing scene this made nighclubs, promoters
and DJ's take note of his photography and it wasn't too long before they were commisioning him to cover their events
and take PR shoots. This continued with regular commisions from Nightlife Magazines.
2008 should prove to be a great year for Dafydd with the purchase of his own studio lighting set and a move in his 'day job' to being the Lead/Senior Developer at a London based Image Library.

From Hockey Shtick (via C3) we find reports of a new Peer-reviewed study to add to the collection.
A paper published last week in the journal Climate of the Past examines the climate of central China over the past 1800 years using two different types of proxies. The paper finds higher temperatures and precipitation were present during the Medieval Warming Period (960-1100 AD) than at the end of the 20th century. This study also shows both the rate and magnitude of the rise in temperature from the year ~ 700- 880 AD were much greater than over a comparable period including the 20th century.
From Hockey Shtick:
In regards to the infamous Michael Mann and IPCC 'hockey-stick' chart, it was claimed that past climate temperatures could be ascertained by tree ring growth. Subsequently, it was determined that Mann had ignored other important factors in tree ring growth, including: water availability, atmospheric CO2 levels, atmospheric nitrogen levels, parasites, and sunlight.Now, scientists have discovered a much more important influence than temperatures on tree ring growth: animal (domestic or wild) behavior, especially chewing on the trees. If browsing on the trees has a great impact, then the animals' dung may be another influence that goes unaccounted for.

'It's Groundhog Day … again'
What has changed for NASL in a year's time?
The headline is one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies delivered by one of my favorite actors, Bill Murray. Speaking of funny, here's today's news release from the fledgling NASL:
NASL Continues to Build on Strong Foundation OCTOBER 28, 2010 - On the eve of the USSF D-2 Pro League final between two NASL clubs, the Carolina Railhawks and the Puerto Rico Islanders, the NASL announced that it will be hosting its AGM for the 2011 season on November 7 – 8, in Miami. Committed to play and grow at the second division level, the NASL members will be covering several topics including tentative schedule for next season, league staff and future expansion.The NASL, while busy planning for the 2011 season, was surprised by league member Rochester Rhinos' announcement earlier this week that they plan to play at the USSF third division level (USL PRO) despite their multi-year commitment with the NASL. The NASL is evaluating all of its options and will proceed accordingly. "It's unfortunate that the Rochester Rhinos, a team with such a successful track record over its fifteen year history at the second division level, is stepping down to third division," said Aaron Davidson, CEO of the NASL.
** ** ** **
MY TURN: That's it? That's all you got? Seriously. Go sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up here (another great line from "As Good As It Gets," delivered by Jack Nicholson). The NASL has had a year — a YEAR! — to get its act together and based on what I see, we are right back where we were a year ago. It's Groundhog Day – again. Tell me this, all you folks who think the NASL has a snowball's chance: What exactly has it accomplished over the past 12 months? Its first CEO/commissioner, Jeff Cooper, saw his WPS franchise go poof and then nearly saw AC St. Louis do the same. Now, Aaron Davidson is in charge and this is his best counterpunch to the Rhinos re-joining a league they never should have left (Rhinos owner Rob Clark admits he made a mistake)? As I've said for a long time: Run a successful operation in your town, Miami, first and then get back to me. This news release and statement is simply sophomoric.
Listen, Rhinos fans: Do I wish Rochester was in MLS? Of course, I do. But mistakes were made. The former owners didn't want to let in an investors in the early 2000s that would have gotten it done. They couldn't afford to make the jump without one. Then, they didn't have enough of their own money to run their new soccer stadium and lost the team. Now, sadly, the MLS ship has sailed for us. Can it ever be a dream again? It's unlikely. MLS is different now. Bigger and better and even profitable. It doesn't NEED Rochester the way it did a decade ago when franchises like Tampa and Miami (shocker) and Kansas City were flailing. So now Rochester has to go back to being what it was when it started: The best minor-league soccer team in America. Yup, Vancouver and Portland and soon Montreal will have passed us by and gone to MLS. Boo hoo. We can complain about it or get back to business and that means continuing to build on the stability and tradition of winning restored by this franchise this season.
The only choice, as coach Bob Lilley pretty much said a few days ago to me, was going back to the USL and as big a reason for that as any is that the NASL (and I keep using the word "fledgling" when I refer to it because that's all it is, really, a league in name and words only) has done little to convince otherwise. In fact, it has gone backwards. Here are your NASL teams so far:
Montreal (leaving for MLS in 2012)
Carolina (publicly looking for investors)
Miami FC (draws more flies than fans)
Puerto Rico (quality side on field, issues off it including that awful stadium)
Tampa Bay (Year one, 2010, slowed after strong start)
Edmonton (new team; enjoy the travel costs)
The NASL needs two more clubs to have the eight required to even be considered a league by the USSF standards. I'm not even going to get into the $20 million collateral each "majority" owner must have or that 75 percent of its teams must be U.S.-based. Sure, those are factors, but they're not even to eight teams. Yet. And the NASL has had a year. What happens when Montreal owner Joey Saputo departs for MLS in 2012? What will happen to the NASL then? Oh, that's right – Saputo says he'll still have a minor-league team to complement his MLS side. Really? Then where's the announcement on that? Let's make it official. Hopefully, the money behind the NASL (Saputo and Miami owner, Traffic) will swallow some pride and give this up right now. Reports are that that dynamic duo may try to fund teams in Carolina, Montreal, Miami and Minnesota just to make the NASL go in 2011 if it gets sanctioned (and that's a HUGE if). Keeping with the movie theme, ever see, "The Money Pit," or "Titanic" ? Good luck with all that.
Did the old USL operation have issues? Absolutely. Was it a pimp for the franchise fee for its, at times, revolving door of league? Yup, sure was. But everyone's eyes are wide open now. The USL has new ownership and has done plenty in a year to move forward. We won't let that happen again and I think the USL has wised up, too. The new USL says it's going to make sure its owners don't operate beyond their means (read: spend more than they bring in). It wants stable franchises and its nucleus of Rochester, Charleston, Richmond, Harrisburg, Charlotte and Pittsburgh all have 10-plus years of operation. Fans are already wondering how this "regional" travel, involving new teams in Puerto Rico and Antigua, will be any cheaper than traveling to Portland and Vancouver. Well, all teams won't travel to play all other teams. Think back to the old A-League. The Rhinos made one long trip per season and when they did it they stayed out west and played 3-4 matches. Other than that, they rode buses to Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Hershey, etc.
We can address caliber of play in the league and the USL somehow allowing Steve Donner to run one of its teams in Orlando (which I addressed months ago when that team was announced), as we move forward, but let's be clear: USL Pro was the ONLY choice for the Rhinos to have any future. Again, what has the NASL done, other than yap or put out bogus news releases, to make you believe it will accomplish more than that?
COMING SOON: The USL is expected to announce today that Rhinos coach Bob Lilley and former star forward Doug Miller will be inducted to its Hall of Fame.

The performance of village intermediaries in rural credit delivery under changing penalty regimes: Evidence from Senegal
This article concerns the use of village intermediaries to mitigate asymmetric information problems in rural credit delivery. We consider an example from Senegal and examine the intermediaries' screening of loan applicants. The results show that, when the intermediaries expected to incur a substantial penalty in the event of borrower default, they engaged in appropriate screening, allocating credit to borrowers likely to repay their loans. When the default penalty was lowered, however, the intermediaries engaged in opportunistic screening, emphasising political affiliation and consanguinity in their lending decisions. These results reveal both the potential efficacy of village intermediaries in allocating credit and their extreme sensitivy to penalty regimes.

San Antonio 104, Detroit 80
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 20 (AP) -- Tony Parker and Tim Duncan one night. Manu Ginobili and Michael Finley another.
Call it the San Antonio Spurs' preseason puzzle.
One night, they bring out a few pieces, another night they swap them out as they ramp up for the regular season.
Parker made his preseason debut Saturday and Duncan joined him on the court after sitting out the last game as the Spurs beat the Detroit Pistons 104-80.
"Manu gets to take a break, Bruce (Bowen) gets to take a break again,'' said assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, who took the reins from coach Gregg Popovich for the second game in a row. "So we're just mixing and matching and trying to keep guys healthy and keep working on stuff we're doing in practice.''
Brent Barry scored 16 points for the Spurs. Francisco Elson had 14 points and Duncan added 13. Parker finished with seven.
Rookie Arron Afflalo led Detroit with 20 points. Rodney Stuckey scored 14 and Jason Maxiell added 13 points and 10 rebounds.
But with both teams sitting a few of their stars, the preseason meeting between the reigning champion Spurs and former champion Pistons was a bit anticlimactic. For the Spurs, Ginobili, Bowen and Finley took the night off.
Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups didn't play the second game of the Pistons' back-to-back, and an injured Richard Hamilton was out for a third straight contest with a sprained left ankle. The Pistons lost to Dallas 122-94 Friday.
"I think we had a lot of energy. A lot of effort,'' Afflalo said. "Better than we had yesterday. Just unfortunate that we didn't make a lot of shots tonight.''
The absences let lesser-knowns and role players on each team step up. Rookie guard Afflalo had 13 points at the half for Detroit. Barry had 10 points for the Spurs.
"We're basically playing four rookies,'' said Detroit coach Flip Saunders. "Four rookies that are playing a lot for me and they're in a back-to-back situation, so it's an adjustment.''
Elson, still sporting a face mask following an injury to his left eye this summer, led the Spurs with 14 points at the half.
The Spurs were up 28-25 after one quarter and 55-46 at halftime. They had the lead for good after they went up 3-2 less than a minute into the game.
San Antonio opened the third quarter with a 12-0 run to go up 67-46 with 8:31 left in the period. Barry's 3-pointer put the Spurs up 74-49 with less than five minutes remaining in the quarter.
"You have to understand, these are learning experiences,'' Saunders said. "I don't look at the score, I look at how a guy is playing in situations.''
The Spurs were up 84-67 heading into the final quarter and extended their lead to as many as 28 points.
Both teams sat their stars in the fourth: Duncan and Parker for the Spurs, Antonio McDyess and Tayshaun Prince for Detroit.
"I thought he looked good for his first game,'' Budenholzer said of Parker, who took training camp slow to rebuild his strength after playing for the French national team over the summer. "I think for a first outing he was great.''
Saunders was called for a technical foul with 4:45 left in the game.
"I just thought our young guys were going to the basket, were getting fouled and weren't getting calls,'' Saunders said. "So as a coach, you have to stick up for your players.''
The Spurs had three other players - summer addition Ime Udoka and training camp invitees Darius Washington and Keith Langford - score in the double digits.
Jarvis Hayes had 10 points for Detroit.

why is don maloney bleeding from the head were him and dave rough housing before the cameras came on
Rozival has at least 2 horrible turnovers directly leading to scoring chances. On the second, Micheletti praised his defensive play to defend the scoring chance but never mentioned his pass directly to the slot that gave Phoenix the scoring chance.
Blair Betts has been the Rangers most consistent player all year. I cannot remember an off-game that he has had this year..
Betts is the most consistent player on the team. He fills his role perfectly.
Way better period than the first. Its damn good to see Dubi score a goal, hopefully he keeps it going, cause we need him to produce. Nazzy is looking good, to bad that fuggin puck bounced off his stick or else he would have been all alone with Bryzgalov, and Nicky Z obviously is the best player once again, other than Hank.
I hope Rozi scores a couple of goals, cause i think the Yotes have enough space to fit in his contract. Maybe we can squeeze Carcillo from them, which wont happen, but it did happen in NHL 09, mwahaha, i love it !!
As for the "mocking" of Dubi. Who cares if its "classless". They don't call this guy the "new Avery" for nothing. Its a damn shame we couldn't get him out of Phoenix in that trade last year, maybe if Monty wasn't such a fuggin bust we'd be able to get him.
Anyone see Carcillo waiving his tongue at that chick ?? That was pretty funny.
I noticed we were doing better on faceoffs but I dind't realize that was all Gomez…
Mara and Kal the defense when w get pinned again…
well that was a bad play by Staal, but he is with Mara now not Rozsival…
another power play for us
November 24th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Blair Betts has been the Rangers most consistent player all year. I cannot remember an off-game that he has had this year..
Must have missed the last game no? He was -3 that game.
Z Dubi Nas Dan Redden on ice… Dan scores
Girardi gets rewarded for his terrific game.
Joe "… and that line is clicking for some reason" hhmm… what reason could that be i wonder… break 'em up immediately before they got too comfortable playing together
we are shorthanded…
Betts with a good chance…
Dubinsky with the Gordie Howe Hat Trick and Z with 3 assists!
Mara and Kal are being matched agains tthe Yotes top lines right? anyone… it seems all they can handle this game, I don't know if its a good combo against more potent scoring teams…
lol Steve!
Dubi and Z are flying
good to see some offense ( 3 goal explosion LOL)
Now Renney will pull the reigns in..not just for tonite but for the rest of the month…just watch
Defense still a problem, no hitting, bad give-aways and lots of statues standing around…wierd
Betts playing good offensive game…very wierd
Whenever there's a shorthanded breakaway and Betts got the puck going up the ice… and he had a few of these this season… that guy never passes the puck
ccp maybe he'd rather be certain of control than chance a giveaway…
thats from playing too many games with Hollweg and Orr
Might as well pass to Perry pearn!!
Dubi has been great tonight.
Hve Voros-fritche and Korpi been on at all in this period?
It doesn't seem like they have now that you mention it.
SIGH… good game tho… but as noted above the D is weak… they paly as if they lactose intolerant and just had big glass of kefir… afraid to crap their pants and wont make any extra moves
Didn't someone say final 4-1?
Voros had three shifts in the third period for 1:23
Korpi three shifts for 1:13
Fritzsche three shifts for 1:24
CCCP; you were more descriptive than I was…but agreed…Hank made 35 saves
But anyway
I'd like to see Orr sit, move Voros to 4th line….
True Fans Bleed RW&B
November 24th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
5-1…breakout!! Nothing would make me happier, Brandon.
TOI totals
Betts 12:34
Orr 12:11
Sjo 13:32
Voros 7:10
Fritszhe 7:55
Korpi 7:44
how was the bet…
thnx comrade kaspar… im in a creative mood today…
Hey Agravaine
why do they keep calling Betts line the "fourth line"???
Agravaine …i guess there goes my $7.80 eh…
well… they r really the first line…
from the back…get it – get it?
Big win. Don't wanna get on a 3 game skid over here
Nicky Z, and Dubi were the best, along with Hank of course. Gotta keep it up, those two are the future. Hopefully they get re signed at the end of the year, and we don't have to worry aboot losing them for a while.
Gotta sweep the Bolts next !!!
Mike In IA …Thanks so much for the link !!
My Dad really enjoyed watching the game with me on
his recently bought first computer ..
Thanks again!
did we bring back sweet caroline? i feel like i havent heard it in awhile
Terrific rebound win. It didn't start out promising with the team outplayed and down by a goal early(which is par the coarse)Hank had to make a half dozen point blank saves. The D more than anything was soft backing in and generally playing soft in the corners and in front. The only reason why they were tied was because of Hank along with a nice play by Zherdev and a sweet goal by Betts. Dubi played his best game in around three weeks. He threw the body around and drove hard to the net all night. He and his linemates really turned the game around. Zherdev looked like a wizard with the puck all night. He had been overhandling the puck lately but tonight he was dominant on the puck. He had three assists and made a bunch of other great passes. Gomez being back in the lineup was a huge help. He seemed to be getting stronger and stronger as the night went on. He skated with the puck with speed throughout the second half of the game. He created all kinds of offense and was dominant on face-offs. That was arguably the best game of Betts' career on the offensive end. He scored a sweet goal and he created a good amount of offense. The defense improved in the second half of the game. Redden and Girardi had likely their best game as a pair. Girardi was terrific at both end of the ice. He always gets his shot on net. Staal was pretty solid cleaning up some of Rozsival screwups and threw the body. I think the only thing you can say bad was that boy was the Kalinin-Mara pair struggle mightily. It sure seems like every dman that plays with Kalinin struggles. You would also like to see Korpikoski more ice. Nice to get a win like this when you've got 3 games coming up with two of the worst teams9along with being the worst run franchises) Can't say enough good things about Hank again.
Oh my oh my oh my
Another odd man rush to deny
Lundqvist left out to dry
Leaving Lundqvist at the Guillotine to die
Dubi shoots one of the metal
I hope he does not settle
Keep up the fight inside
Get off of that scoring slide
Dubinsky gets into a fight
I thought Orr was supposed to shed that light
Four minutes passed and there goes the lamp
They sure are not playing like champs
The puck goes in the net
Because of a 4th liner named Blair Betts
Looked like Gomez with his jets
This team is starting to make me fret
Somehow we got the first period by
Struggling we somehow managed a tie
Against the worst of the west
We must continue on and finish this contest
Oh why oh why oh why
Another odd man rush to deny
Lundqvist left out to dry
Leaving Lundqvist at the Guillotine to die
Rangers hands go up because of Dubinsky
Not lets make it 1-3
And how about the play of Z
Once the Rangers pick them off Free Agency
I'm sure I will buy one of their jerseys
Everytime we are on this 5 on 4
Somehow we seem to fail to score
Gomez could have a 50 goal season route
If only he could learn to shoot
Gomez was flying, Drury was defensively sound
Lundqvist dominant with little rebounds
Dubinsky edge was electrifying
Mara keeping pucks away from the Swedish king
Dominating period, lets hope for the same
For the third period, and the rest of our games
Good period for Rozi and the defensive crew
3rd period those players looked like the bled true blue
Dont cry, Don't cry, Don't cry
Very little odd man rushes to deny
With Lundqvist left out to dry
Leaving Lundqvist at the Guillotine to die
They score another goal, Girardi puts one in
They finally do it with a man in the sin bin
These lines seem to be clicking; there is a great aura
They are having scoring chances in bunches and plethoras
We kill off a penalty, then push it up ice
As Borat would say it they are looking "very nice"
These lines seem to be clicking; both D and O
Working down the ice with a consistent flow
Coyotes pull their goalie to get the extra skater
Gomez then shoots down the ice to put in the final deflator
The team has won with Gomez being the much needed man
This is the story of how the Rangers winning streak began
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye,
No more odd man rushes to deny
Lundqvist no longer left out to dry
For today, Lundqvist was not left at the Guillotine to die
Got it!
Lemieux is coming
good game after the first.They need to go to the net like this on most nights.Still wayyyyyy too much ice time for the fourth line.Colton Orr brings nothing to the table unless he drops his gloves.His ice time should be equal to his contribution.Aside from the guys like Z,Dubi,Naslund,and the king who all played well,I thought Korpikoski played very well for the short amount of ice time he got.Staal also played very well and a nice comeback game for Girardi who has really stunk it up the last 10 or so games.Rosi needs to sit and watch in the worst way.I'd love to get Carcilo from the Yotes for maybe Prucha and a 5th round pick,have replace Orr in the lineup.He can really skate,fight,and also scored 13 golas last year.
What the heck?
Are you the guy writing those Geico commercials…with the Neanderthals?
November 24th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Agravaine …i guess there goes my $7.80 eh…
Double or nothing for the game against the Bolts?
great to see gomer skating well
graves… i got to think about that one… its a lot of money for a poor soviet immigrant… with all the economy brain farts i just dont know if i want to break my little piggy-bank my uncle Boris gave me as a present for my 30th birthday lol
and oh yeah…Lemieux is coming faster than Sundin
anyone just see what happened in the Isl-Habs game??
Own goal by habs during a delayed Penalty
Habs dee man shot it into his own vacant net
Kaspar… the Islanders roots still calling ur name? lol
very happy to get the win, didn't look too great at the start but credit where its due. Hank is an island too often, and Renny ain't no savior, but anytime this team wins I'm glad.
I am watching it…That was hilarious. If Islanders win, I will laugh sooo hard.
It is great to see Dubi reanimated! Zherdev was a force.
But there must be a physical component to this team's game in all three periods. It is still too easy to play against them, and better teams than PHX will exploit that weakness till the cows come home.
I agree with NYR56… I love Orr, and the guy has improved his overall game year after year, but he should not be playing every game. Problem is the vets don't stick up for their teammates like the youngsters do. Most of the younger guys will actually stick up for their teammates, i.e. Dubinsky, Callahan, Staal, Voros. Mara fights too. We need one more hard-hitting D-man. Look at teams like Detroit that roll 3 skilled line and a 4th that is still reasonably skilled. I think that is a better solution than what we are doing now…
Also, Renney changes lines too fricking often. If Dubi, Z and Voros were playing well at the beginning of the season, why break that up? Now he has to put Naslund with Dubi and Z to get the same amount of production from one line. That obviously depletes the amount of skill through the rest of the lineup. There has to be a better solution, Renney.
I think I hate the Habs more than the Isles
There frickin Ole chant
I am elated at the win, but have a simple question: Do the Ranger defensemen know that when there is a 2-on-1 against, you do NOT attack the puck carrier and leave an open guy in front of your goaltender, even if he is AllWorld like HL?
Sam says nothing. Micheletti says nothing. But Rozsival's pathetic flailing at Jokinen on the goal Phoenix scored is a play that coaches teach you not to do in pee-wees! Why are fundamental errors like this tolerated??
Renney is your typical system guy…a professor…a guy who is bathed in 90's trap culture…he thinks "systems" win…like he's a football coach….Players win, talent wins…read Larry brooks post column today…I know he's a muckraking Ranger hater but he's right….Renny over-thinks stuff and thinks his MIND will win games
Islanders won after Ryan Obern put the puck into his own net to take it into overtime. The fans are chanting Obern, and he looks devestated
welll kids… its time for me to go… check this video out … watch it to the end.. i promise it gets better with every second :) http://play.ukr.net/videos/show/key/a8ed6db06007ab67da90c419f40332c5/#ajax2
For three easy payments of $12.95 per month I provide Prucha-removal services
I put him in a van, I list him as FREE in weekend papers and I provide a bus ticket to the airline flying to whomever takes him..after that he's on his own
What is the Youtubski?
I agree with your comment on Renney.
I praise Renney for preaching accountability- something the Rangers lacked for years before he got here. I still don't think he is good at assembling lines, he tinkers too much.
Some of what Brooks has to say is crap. The Rangers don't need over the hill Mats Sundin. Some of it is correct. Rozsival is playing like crap and is over-payed right now. Let's hope he can turn it around. Maybe Rozsival and Girardi should trade contracts. Dan G deserves it more.
I interpreted Brook's column a little differently. I thought he was saying that putting the the three "top players" Naslund-Gomez-Zherdev together is going to bring out the best in their respective games. He also says that Dubi has been playing almost exclusively with Z for the last 10 games ineffectively. He failed to mention that Renney took away 1/3 of that effective line… Voros.
I just believe in not fixing something unless it is broken. The Playstation line worked effectively and Renney tore it apart.
Oh well.
what u mean?
CCCP I almost threw up at the end there. Thanks
Renney teaches accountability?? Yes, if you're young and don't make over $4 million. But please, Redden and Roszival have been brutal all season, and Renney hasn't even nudged them in the press, much less pushed them, much less pointed at them, much less singled them out, much less slimed them.
You know, sort of the way Renney slimed Mara the other day for his Ruutu penalty. And the way he made a public scene about benching Voros and Zherdev. And making Dubi sit against the Isles, etc.
Renney's accountability is unaccountable. Because if you're a sacred cow that Sather has overpaid, you get a free pass, apparently in perpetuity.
Not only do teams with such a dynamic not win Cups, they don't even get close.
@ Kaspar
Dude…wanna see the U-18 USA Hockey team vs. UVM on 12/5? I have season tix for the UVM Catamounts mens hockey. Goos seats too.
e-mail me @ firstname.lastname@example.com
I love when Betts sticks his foot so far up Bobs ass that he tastes rubber…haha
Good point Gresch, he is selective about who he slams some times, but I do think he has motivated the team more than previous coaches.
Well, I did predict 5-1 this morning, so I was one goal off. Go me!
Brandon.. u go u… :)
Nice step in the right direction…all we can hope is they remember how good it feels to WIN again and continue to chase that feeling like a dragon for the rest of the year… lots of work to do… including finish up the rest of the (easy) November and hopefully have their 'A' game in order for the Western heavy (and much harder) December coming up… where I think we'll start getting a better idea of what kind of team we've got here.
Kudos to Blair for having a huge game in which he could have potentially pulled out a hat trick. That's what happens when you really do 'bleed blue' and show up to play every single night.
Amen on your comment on the 2-on-1. This is what Girardi did the other night against NJ in springing Parise on a breakaway. Again, this is such a basic play that you sit there amazed 1) that it happened 2) that Sam and Joe say NOTHING 3) that the media covering the game, print and TV, do not note it and 4) that when Renney says he does no teaching in practice, you think he must be joking!
But alas he isn't. So is it possible he sees a play like the one Roszival made tonight …… and doesn't know it's the wrong one? Is that possible??
The coaching staff must tell the Rangers to do what Rozi did. Ive seen Danny do it, Wade, Mara, Rozi, and maybe Kal, or Staal. You're not supposed to defend a 2 on 1 like that. It has to be the coaching staff telling them to take the man with the puck, and let Hank stop the other guy if he gets the puck.
Its unfair to fuggin Hank. He's not gonna make the save every god damn time. Im guessing they think the d man will get in the way of Hank, which is BS. Its dumb and i thought at first it was something that just Wade does, like he did in pre season, but everyone is doing it. Its retarded.
Im just glad they won, and by a score that it should have ended by. Good team, verse bad team, 4-1, perfect. They cant fall asleep like they've been doing. Gotta keep it going.
As for the O'Bryne. Loool i love it !! The fans chanting his name, if that was Rozi it would just be boo's. Why don't fans ever chant his name instead of the boo's ? To bad the Habs got a point, but its good to see the Islandorks winning a few games, cause i don't want them going near any of these guys from the upcoming draft i keep hearing aboot, like Taveras, and Hedman. Don't want them to get future stars.
BTW – Does anyone else find it depressing that Zach Parise is having an awesome year ? And is top 5 in goals, or maybe even top 3. All this happening on the season Slats finally gives up on Jessiwoman. Its making me sick to my stomach. Real shame we didn't draft him, or any of the damn good players in that draft. If i can go back in time, i think i might go back to 03, and pull a Celtic Pride, or a Rangers Pride in this case, and kidnap Jessiwoman, forcing Slats to draft any of the others he could have drafted.
now can we please put soemthing together against good teams that hit and compete and won't allow the soft plays to pass without hurting the NYR when they commit them? because they have to beat the Pitts and Monts and PhilFlys and even the Bruins to make a mark this season.
I am really glad for the win, it feels good. And I just want them to beat the good teams too, because they are coming up on the shedule soon!
Coach Renney lets them get away with it cause they're "good guys", ugh this guy makes me sick. He really needs a puck to the head, not a stick. Obviously the stick didn't do its job, but waddya gonna do.
Like Salty said…
Nice step in the right direction. Still a lot of chances that Hank had to turn away. But a win is a win and they looked a ton better for most of the game than they have in a while.
Dubi and Zherdev were absolute FRIKIN MONSTERS tonight!!!
Amazing what a difference those guys feelin' it make on this squad.
Gomer looked damn good too. 17-1!!!!?????
Orr, and I don't get it because I remember last year they always took the second man, its a new development tis year…
btw Orr you might like this…
… or not
Uh. We played the Phoenix Coyotes.
Just saying…
Go Rangers.
I know, i never seen them do this, im not blaming Renney cause i don't like him as the coach and want him to get fired, but who else can this be. Either way its his fault, he's either telling them to do something stupid, or he's being weak by allowing them to continue to do this. The guy annoys me, i honestly think i can do a better job coaching these guys, but i don't think id be able to get them fired up by talking aboot the hottest celeb chicks that are on my top ten list.
And i seen that vid a few days ago, its nice to see someone make a tribute for good ol' Orrsy. He's the man.
orr right on about the isles, let them win some games now and fade enough down the stretch to miss the playoffs but not get a great draft pick.
good win now we need to do the same in fla
i think bob is in shock with betts scoring his 3rd
Observations; Zherdev sure played well tonight..
Dubinsky is good for at least 1 juicy giveaway in his own zone nightly.
Kalinin really does suck, can't they give Potter a try, they do not get any offense from Kalinin so what is the difference.
Overall they give away way to many pucks in there own zone, all of them…
Redden for how many more years???
They won but still looked like crap……
Above all, I'll take the win. With the way they've been playing, it's nice to win and also win by a decent margin of 4-1.
The score really should have been 3-1 or 4-1 PHX after the first period, though. They allowed THREE PRIME scoring chances in the first five minutes, all off of turnovers.
Turnovers are what is costing this team victories; especially defensive and neutral zone turnovers. It's a glaring problem that needs to be addressed.
All that said, after the first ten minutes they played a pretty good game. It's definitely a step towards getting back to how they were playing in the beginning of the season. A win is a win is a win.
It was very nice to see Hank bounce back from the Vancouver game with a great performance. If he didn't make those saves in the first, this game would have been out of hand quickly, and en route to a final score similar to Vancouver and Ottawa (It conceivably could have been 3-1 after the first).
Zherdev played an amazing game; one of his best games thus far as a Ranger, if not his best. He is definitely the best forward on this team, and may well be the best passer on this team as well (isn't Gomez supposed to be that guy?). He is our top offensive threat and Renney needs to start playing him 18-21 minutes a night (especially a game like tonight with few penalties).
Dubi! Great game with the Gordie Howe Hat Trick. He hasn't been the same player since the first Islanders game, hopefully this game will get him back to where he was the first 10 games of the season.
scroll down to his write up of the vanc game. those who are anti renney will love it
From LI Joe's link RE: Vancouver game:
*I'm not going to talk much about last nights disgraceful performance. I know that's what you expect, but that's not what you're going to get. What you are going to get is a rant, a rant that has been a long time coming, a rant against Tom Renney. Renney supporters, look away now. Don't bother reading this. It will just hurt your feelings, possibly make you cry, suck your thumb and sit in a corner rocking yourself to sleep saying "it's not true, it's not true"
This team has been playing like absolute crap for just about this entire season. Very few people will argue with this statement. They have played 3 superb games, against the Lightning in games 1 and 2, and against the Devils (the first time). Outside of those 3 games, they have been anywhere between mediocre, and out and out horrific. But, if you really look at this team, ask yourself, have they played good hockey during Tom Renneys tenure at all? I mean, seriously, ask yourself, how many players come here, and actually overperform, or improve on their career numbers? Scotty Gomez, down year, Chris Drury, down year, Markus Naslund, down year, etc etc etc. Really, outside of Jaromir Jagr during his first season, how many players actually put up numbers better than their career averages (not counting rookies who have no base line to compare to)? Even Sean Avery just basically put up the same totals he has always had, and everyone really thought he was flourishing here.
Can anyone answer this? How is it just about every single player that comes here sees their production go down. Does anyone even bother to ask themselves this anymore? Why is it ok to simply look at the win-loss record, and say, well, we must be a good team.
That is bullshit, plain and simple. We have been a winning team because of 2 reasons, and 2 reasons only. Jaromir Jagr, and Henrik Lundqvist. Both have been superhuman. Not superstar, not elite, damn near God-like in their performances here. We used to be a 2-man team, now, we are a 1-man team. Great.
"But Inferno, your stars should play like your stars, that's how hockey works!" That is what I am sure some of the nay sayers are saying to themselves. But ask yourself this, shouldn't a good coach be able to get SOME improvement from the other players in his lineup? Shouldn't he be able to improve even 1 non superstar player? The fact of the matter is, every single player that has joined this club since Tom Renney took over, has seen their offensive production, as a whole, drop significantly during their tenure here. Gomez, Drury, Naslund, even Jagr when looked at a whole, Shanahan…literally every single player has had their production go down. And that is the mark of a bad coach. Or more specifically, a coach who is woefully mismanaging his talent set.
So that is really what this entire story is about isn't it? Maximizing the talent set. Putting square pegs in square holes, putting round pegs in round holes, etc should be the way any NHL franchise is run. But not the New York Rangers, oh no, not by a long shot. What do the New York Rangers do? They have Glen Sather announce to the world that they want to get younger, faster, more up tempo, to mimic the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Detroit Red Wings, the Buffalo Sabres, and the Ottawa Senators. You have Glen Sather pick up Wade Redden, Marcus Naslund, Scott Gomez, Chris Drury, Nikolai Zherdev, Dan Frtische, to augment with players like Michal Rozsival, Dan Girardi, Lauri Korpikoski, Brandon Dubinsky, Nigel Dawes, Ryan Callahan… in short, all players who are either good outlet passers, or good skaters, picture perfect to play an up tempo 2-1-2 style of hockey. You have Tom Renney tell everyone he is open to changing up the team, to making them a little bit more wide open, and you see it beautifully executed in 2 games against the Tampa Bay Lightning where the Rangers were swarming like locusts, pressuring the hell out of the puck, causing turnovers all over the ice, forcing the puck to the high quality scoring areas with reckless abandon, and a team willing to take chances with the knowledge they have an all-world goaltender between the pipes. And then, they came back home, and everything changed.
Tom Renney, old reliable, went back to what he does best. Playing New Jersey Devils hockey. He has a team built, from top to bottom, to push the puck, and instead he has one of the smallest, fastest, weakest teams in the NHL play a 1-2-2 system, where the midgets never get a chance to push the puck up the ice, are always forced to dump, chase and cycle, whose lack of size and strength clearly show as the opposition effortlessly blasts our midgets into the boards, recover the puck, and push it back down our throats.
In order to play Tom Renney hockey, what you need is a Tom Renney team. A team of Blair Betts and Colton Orrs, a team with very little offensive creativity, but strength, and defensive responsibility, and who can play the cycle game. This is why the most consistent, best line out there game in and game out is the 4th line. Why? Because THAT is Tom Renney hockey. Boring, methodical, completely devoid of skill, encapsulated by bigger, stronger, players fighting through checks, getting the pucks to the net, and scoring garbage goals.
It sounds good in theory, but why the hell is the roster built this way then? Clearly there is a break down between what Glen Sather envisions this club, and what Tom Renney envisions this club. One sees it as an up tempo, Buffalo Sabres style club, the other sees it as a defensive, grinding New Jersey Devils style club. There is a massive disconnect, and it is clearly showing in the quality of play that is being shown to us on a nightly basis. The only player holding up his end of the bargain in this ballet of idiocy is Henrik Lundqvist, a player who is single handedly willing his team to victory. And when he wasn't able to do so last night, a slaughter ensued.
A mark of a good coach is being able to see the roster he has, and to adjust HIMSELF to what he is given. If you are given a small team with speed and skill, you don't play a 1-2-2, you play a 2-1-2. If you are given a slow lumbering team with a lot of strength, then you play the 1-2-2 to protect yourself from odd man rushers, and take advantage of your superior size and strength with a cycle game. Tom Renney, through 3+ years of coaching, has clearly shown he has zero creativity, and zero ability to adapt to his players.
Is he a players player coach? Sure. Do the players love the guy, and buy into his system? Absolutely. Is he the best man for the job? Until he is willing to realize the idiocy behind playing a defensive hockey style with speed skaters, the answer is unabashedly, NO.*
well said lil joe,
from last nights game. the rangers now seem to have 2 4th lines, and if orr had done his job in the caps game (they ran hank twice) maybe dubi would not have had to fight carcillo.
RE: Orr
I don't think he will ever sit again after that Philly game he sat out when Fedoruk was running every Ranger and their mothers. He is the ONLY guy with balls on this team. And as far as I am concerned, he can play every night.
Was it me, or did Stall-Rozi pair play very well together last year? I ranted all summer that here would be no way Renney would split them up this season. Can anyone tell me WHY Renney was compelled to split these guys up? I think this pairing will help Rozy get back on track
CW-I was thinking the same thing last night about Orr. Last year he sat occasionally, but this team is not tough enough for him to sit out. Voros can be a force some nights and invisible on the others. It's good to get a win but I think Weds is a big test. TB can't be too happy losing 3 to us already. Let's see how the Rangers respond after TB scores the first goal. I mean, lately, we never score first.
Only have a minute here to pop in and say "wasssssup".
If you play a puck possession style, you need puck possession players. Without Gomer, you're missing your best puck-possessor. He didn't score the game winner, or even a goal with a goalie in net. But don't doubt what he brings to this team. Hank & Gomer…#'s 1 & 2 on the 'key players' list for this team to play to its potential.
Some beauties by Hank last night, once again.
I hope Korpi keeps his good play up.
BETTS! Maybe the presence of the Great One rubbed off on him? haha
My interviews went well yesterday, thanks for asking. I'll be bogged down with work today with the incentive that if I complete it all, I get tomorrow off, and won't be back to work till next Monday. Plus I have a wake to attend @ 3 today.
So no offense to anyone, but that's far more important than debating whether it matters which way you stay on top of the standings.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone. Incase I'm not around (which most likely I wont be) until next week.
Hey, has anybody heard anything about Toys for Tots this year?
It's one of my favorite Rangers events…
hey Salty do me a favor SHUT UP..
I like winning hockey.. I like playoff hockey..
those small, quick, hockey clubs get bounced out of the playoffs by the types of team we are trying to build here..
If you like the up tempo style so much go to the garden for knick games.. caused that worked well for the Suns.
Yea, good idea, lets adopt a style of play that opens up the ice and creates more shots for the opponent – which NEUTRALIZES OUR INHERENT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE – LUNQUIST.
Renney for Pres in 2016!
